Mods4cars Announces SmartTOP Convertible Top Controller for Jaguar F-Type Convertible

September 2, 2014 flashnewsrelease Leave a comment

The SmartTOP add-on Convertible Top Controller made by Mods4cars will soon be available for the Jaguar F-Type Convertible. The automotive electronics specialist expects to be able to ship the clever controller before the end of this year. This makes it possible for Jaguar owners to join the other happy convertible owners and enjoy the convenience of being able to raise and lower the top with just a quick push of a button as well as from afar with the original factory key remote.

Las Vegas, NV (USA), September 01, 2014 — Before the end of this year the after-market SmartTOP Convertible Top Controller developed and marketed by Mods4cars will be available for the Jaguar F-Type. It allows full automatic one-touch top operation. A quick, single touch of the console switch is enough to raise or lower the top. It is no longer necessary to hold down the switch and wait for the top to finish. Additionally, the module will automatically raise the windows if desired.

With the SmartTOP kit installed it is also possible to control the top from a distance, using just the original key fob remote. A quick key combination on the fob activates full automatic top operation. This makes it possible to already lower the top while still approaching the car; a very useful feature on hot days to air out the car. A parked car can quickly be closed remotely at the first sign of rain. All that is required is the existing original car key.

Like all SmartTOP modules there is a host of bonus features which all can be configured to individual needs. It is possible to control the windows separately from the top by remote, the console top switch direction can be reversed and an extended mode can be enabled which allows top operation to continue when starting or stopping the engine. The entire module can be disabled temporarily if needed while retaining all user settings for later.

Thanks to the standard USB port on the module, it can be conveniently configured and updated with any PC or Mac. Support software and firmware updates are available online and free of charge. A custom designed plug-and-play wiring adapter makes installing the kit a quick and easy endeavor for anyone.

“We are happy to be able to announce our first SmartTOP Convertible Top Controller for the Jaguar brand with the upcoming kit for the Jaguar F-Type Convertible.“ explains PR-Manager Sven Tornow. “After the kit for Lamborghini Gallardo Spider and the new BMW 4 Series Convertible, this will be the third new module we’re bringing to market this year.” he continues. With this latest addition, the following brands are supported now: Alfa, Audi, Bentley, BMW, Ferrari, Ford, Infiniti, Jaguar, Lamborghini, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Mini, Nissan, Opel, Peugeot, Porsche, Renault, Volvo und VW.

About Mods4cars:
Mods4cars was founded in 2002 with the idea to add a highly demanded feature to the otherwise almost perfect Porsche Boxster: Comfort One-Touch roof operation while driving at slow speeds. The resulting product offered not only that, but also allowed quick and easy installation by just swapping out a relay box, thus leaving no traces and no permanent changes on the vehicle. The first SmartTOP roof controller was born.

The success of their first products in Germany and Europe prompted them in late 2004 to move operations to the USA, to be able to serve the American market as well as all other English speaking countries such as Australia, UK and South Africa from one central location. Their business has grown to a full-fledged international corporation with an office in Las Vegas and a full line of innovative products as well as distributors and installation partners all over the globe.

Being highly specialized in the development and distribution of aftermarket roof- and comfort controllers since 2002 allows them to offer an unsurpassed level of competence and product quality. Their main goal is optimization of each individual product to a maximum in compatibility, usability and intuitive operation. They put greatest effort into development and quality checks of all their products to achieve this goal and meet all expectations of their customers.

The extraordinary success of their products is also based on the great communication with their customers, which usually already starts for each new product during the development and prototyping phase.

Bangalore, India, August 29, 2014 — ‘Berserk 2014’ – the 3-day Residential Art Conference for children came to a close with Grand Finale on 27th August, 2014 at the Amphitheatre in UB City.

This edition saw 2,000 students from 50 leading schools in Bangalore audition to take part in the conference.

International Artist Liu Bolin Exhibits a Special Creation at “Art Bengaluru 2014”

August 27, 2014 flashnewsrelease Leave a comment

“The Invisible Man” performs live in India for the first time.

Bangalore, India, 27th August, 2014 — In a mesmerising display of performance art, renowned camouflage artist, Liu Bolin, vanished into his painting to craft yet another indelible memory at Art Bengaluru 2014. Showcasing his work in India for the first time, the artist created an installation titled “Charger Series – Peony No. 2” and also put up a live performance for the inauguration of the Art Festival, where he emerged from a Magazine Rack. South India’s biggest Art Festival, Art Bengaluru’s 5th Edition is being held at The Collection at UB City, Bangalore from 21st to 30th August, 2014.

Beijing-based artist, Liu Bolin, uses art as a medium to comment on society and repressive social norms. His best known photo series, “Hiding in the City”, took form in November 2005 when the Beijing city management demolished Suo Jia Cun – Asia’s largest international artist village and Liu Bolin’s home. As a silent protest to this event, Liu Bolin started his now legendary series Hiding in the City, which has spread beyond China countries like France, Italy & U.S.A.

Art Bengaluru began in 2009 as a quest to encourage & develop a thriving community of artists & art connoisseurs in Bangalore. Each year, the festival puts forth new art concepts for its audience; this year the event has scaled new heights with Bolin’s engaging performance at the inauguration. The Opening Night saw this talented artist blend into rows of shelves lined with magazines.

Uzma Irfan – Executive Director, Corporate Communications – Prestige Group, Founder – Sublime Galleria and Conceptualizer & Organizer – Art Bengaluru said, “We are honoured to have an artist of the caliber of Liu Bolin at Art Bengaluru who will unveil an exclusive creation for the event. Each year Art Bengaluru aims to get bigger & better and this time we have reached a new level with the artworks & artists, which will place the festival on the global art map. I urge all of you to join us in celebrating these unique creations of art which are displayed at the festival.”

Speaking about Art Bengaluru, Artist Liu Bolin said, “Art Bengaluru is an incredible platform for artists to display their works. Over the years, the organisers of this festival have done their best to promote & support artists from diverse backgrounds and it is a pleasure to perform & showcase my work in India for the first time at Art Bengaluru.”

Another work of art by Bolin, which has held the audience captive, is his installation the Charger Series which has originated from the artist’s dissatisfaction towards material possessions. This work of art shows cell phone chargers plugged into steel forms of the human body. The cell phone charger serves as an indicator of the boundless desires of human beings.

Artist Bolin explains the concept, “As we carry more and more burdens on our shoulders, we are gradually pulled away from the essence of life. In my work, the variety of brands, styles & sizes of the chargers demonstrates the diversity of life while also exhibiting the traces of human desire. As functional objects become unusable, they perfectly represent the unappeasable nature of human desire.”

A form of social commentary, Bolin’s artworks warn audiences of impending disasters caused by human overindulgence.

About Art Bengaluru:
Art Bengaluru, one of the most reputed Art Festival’s in India, has been created to showcase a wide spectrum of art forms and provide a platform for artists (both Indian & International) to exhibit their works.

Launched in 2010, Art Bengaluru began with a vision to promote works of art and cultivate a thriving art community in the city. The First Year of Art Bengaluru saw 15 Galleries across the city participate in the week-long festival that also screened a series of Short Films, in addition to an Art Competition for Children. The Second Edition featured 15 Art Galleries from across the country with the highlight being the inaugural Luxury Art Auction. The Third Edition showcased 15 top National & International Art Galleries, a Children’s Art Competition, Workshops, Speaker Sessions and the iconic International Art & Luxury Auction. Each year, the festival strives to rise a notch higher than the last, and in 2013 the much-awaited event saw over 100 National & International Artists showcase a diverse collection of artworks while the Auction saw on block works of celebrated artists such as M.F. Hussain, S.H. Raza, F.N. Souza, amongst others. The Fourth Edition also introduced Berserk – a unique Arts Conference for Children in addition to the trademark activities.

About Art Bengaluru 2014:
Riding on the success of the last four editions, Art Bengaluru returns with its 5th Edition. Presented by The Collection at UB City in association with Sublime Galleria, the 10-day event, from the 21st-30th of August, features a host of talented artists & leading Art Galleries from across India & the world.

This year, Art Bengaluru seeks to recreate and celebrate the Renaissance Period – an era of intellectual and artistic revival, inspired by a renewed study of Classical literature and art – with the theme of European Art History. The event is showcasing 13 top galleries including one from New York & Vietnam.

Christel House India, engaged in providing free education, nutrition & healthcare to impoverished children in Bangalore, have created an exclusive installation by students from their High School, based on the Renaissance theme for the event.

Gracing the event was Padma Shri Pandit Shiv Kumar Sharma, renowned Santoor Maestro, who put up a special performance at The Collection at UB City, on Sunday, 24th Aug 2014 at 6pm.

Also a part of Art Bengaluru is ‘Berserk 2014‘ – a 3-day Residential Art Conference for children which aims to motivate, inspire and facilitate children, between 8-14 years of age, to discover and pursue their artistic talents.

Life with Special Needs Child is More Ups than Downs

August 24, 2014 flashnewsrelease Leave a comment

Author Amy Troyer says her son, Ryan, came into this world to make a difference. Born with Down Syndrome, he has given many gifts to his family.

Houston, TX (USA), August 24, 2014 — Author Amy Troyer says her son, Ryan, came into this world to make a difference. Born with Down Syndrome, he has given many gifts to his family, Troyer said. “There are many moments of Ups and Downs on this journey but there are so many more UPS.”

Troyer knew there were many inspirational stories from families who have children or siblings with Down Syndrome and she recently compiled them in a new book, It’s More Ups than Downs, published by Halo Publishing International.

“After Ryan’s birth in 2001 a passion grew in me to reach out, love and share with new parents the wonderful blessings that come from having a child with Down Syndrome.” It’s More Ups than Downs includes stories from families with loved ones ranging in age from 9 months to 64 years old.

“I’ve found that when you have a child with special needs, you make friends with other families because of the connection.” “It’s More Ups than Downs came together out of a desire to reach those entering this journey. The families share the fears they had originally, but most importantly they share how those fears were put to rest and they see the blessings they have been given,” said the author.

Troyer believes It’s More Ups than Downs also is an excellent resource for medical professionals giving the diagnosis to new parents. “It is important for them to remember, these children are special in their abilities; that they are wonderful to be with, and they love like no other.” “I truly believe they are created in God’s image and come into this world to make a difference.”

Halo Publisher Lisa Umina said It’s More Ups than Downs focuses on the blessings rather than the struggles of having a family member with special needs. “Readers will be inspired by the true feelings shared in this book.”

Troyer said It’s More Ups than Downs offers keen insight to families, doctors and hospital staff about how life can be when a special needs child comes into it.

Brian Fox Joins Prepay Nation to Lead Activities in Canada

August 15, 2014 flashnewsrelease Leave a comment

Financial Services Industry veteran to lead business development as Country Head.

Berwyn, PA (USA), August 15, 2014 — Prepay Nation, a leading provider of cross-border micro-value and prepaid mobile airtime transfers, has welcomed Western Union veteran and innovator Brian Fox to their team. Fox will be responsible for business development in the Canadian market, helping to expand Prepay Nation’s international value transfer and productized remittance services country-wide.

With a background in technology and software engineering, Fox has built his career driving the innovative application of technology to business goals. He started with Western Union Canada in 2001 and was responsible for building up partnerships with banking organizations all over the country, moving the company in a different direction and ultimately establishing one of Western Union’s most important channels.

His vision and passion for innovation have yielded outstanding results and accomplishments. He handled hundreds of millions of dollars per year for Western Union, and while expanding the company’s traditional retail distribution, Fox saw web- and mobile-based distribution as critical to future of the remittance industry in North America. In line with this, he drove a groundbreaking 2006 deal allowing Canadians, for the first time, to send money worldwide from their Scotiabank online banking portal or mobile banking app. In 2011, Fox established the organization’s first Web and smartphone bi-directional remittance service via relationships with the largest telcos in Canada, and the next year solidified a deal allowing all Canadian banks to offer international remittances via Western Union and the Interac E-transfer network. The first bank on the network went live in 2013, changing the remittance business in Canada forever.

“There is an enormous opportunity for Prepay Nation in Canada,” said Fox, “and it is directly related to the percentage of the population coming from other countries. On average twenty percent of the Canadian population is foreign born, but that escalates to as many as fifty percent in large metropolitan centers like Toronto.” The World Bank estimates the immigrant populations in Canada remit in excess of $20 billion dollars per year to their home countries “Immigrant populations that send financial support to their loved ones back home are always seeking convenient, cost-effective channels for doing so, and this is exactly what Prepay Nation does so well. The ability to deliver small values across international boundaries, instantaneously and without fees, is essentially impossible for conventional financial institutions. Prepay Nation’s value proposition using mobile airtime transfer is real innovation and has tremendous value for Canadian immigrants” added Fox.
