MtB Entertainment Will Release New Single From Marcus Christ Called “If I Die Tonight” This Month

Leave a comment

New Commercial Single to be released from MtB Entertainment’s artist Marcus Christ Called “If I Die Tonight” for Worldwide Distribution.

Los Angeles, CA, USA — MtB Entertainment has just announced they have finalized the global distribution of Marcus Christ‘s new single titled “If I Die Tonight”. This is the second single released by MtB Entertainment this year. Marcus Christ’s debut album called “Return of the Beast” was released commercially in 2015. I Get High on the Most High is the first single from the upcoming album “Prince of the Universe” that is expected Winter of 2017. “If I Die Tonight” is the follow up single to “I Get High on the Most High”, and the second single from the upcoming “Prince of the Universe” album. MtB Entertainment released a video for “I Get High on the Most High” a week ago on YouTube. At this time no release date has been set for the video for the new single “If I Die Tonight”. Marcus Christ was scheduled for 2 shows this year in L.A., but was taken off the performance list after low ticket sales. This new single already promises to showcase MtB Entertainment’s artist vast array of talent.

The new single “If I Die Tonight” was produced by Dj Exclusive Beatz, and this producer was not expected to produce any of Marcus Christ’s music since MtB Entertainment has been producing a few compositions lately since it has access to in-house production which reduce costs and increase profits. However, this new song has already created a buzz. MtB Entertainment is not expecting record breaking sales, but they do expect improvement. Most people say you can hear Marcus Christ improving song by song as he masters his trade. Marcus Christ has already been featured in interviews, blogs, and radio stations worldwide. MtB Entertainment’s musical releases are available for purchase and download online at places such as Amazon, iTunes, and Cdbaby.

3D Printed Baby Statues from Ultrasounds by Sirbonu

Leave a comment

Sirbonu is offering the possibility to have volume files made by ultrasound machines during a 3D session converted into a 3D file that can be printed into a 3D baby statue.

Laiaküla, Estonia — Ultrasound developments.

The last 10 to 15 years ultrasound technology has advanced significantly. 4D video and HD reality are both terms ultrasound equipment makers use to attract the attention. Ultrasound clinics are offering 3D baby statues in addition to printed pictures. All these industry developments are focused on satisfying the curiosity of even the most demanding parents. Additionally, clinics offering emotional ultrasounds allow parents a view into the world of the baby in the womb.

To some people, this increased reality might be too confronting and controversial. Remarks like “Why is it necessary to know how the baby looks?” or “Have patience and then you will know!” are often heard. Some parents clearly reject every glimpse of the baby. Many parents decide only for the standard 2D ultrasound health checks performed by doctors and in hospitals. All these remarks, motivations, and feelings do not prevent that there are many parents looking to connect with their child before the actual birth. These parents have a very strong wish to see their child when it is in the womb. They want to learn to know this little person growing inside the mother.

Benefits of emotional ultrasounds.

Sirbonu supports and respects all views in society on the 3D emotional ultrasound sessions and the 3D baby statues. Additionally, Sirbonu advocates prudence in the usage of emotional ultrasound for the entertainment of the parents. All sessions should be done by educated specialists. The baby should always come before the needs of the parents. However, it is very normal for expecting parents to have the wish to meet and bond with their child prenatally. To be able to see the baby and learn to know this little person before it is born is very special.

3D emotional ultrasounds could help expectant mothers and fathers to form an early bond with the child. It is an additional possibility allowing an early start into the parenting role and reducing the shock when the child is suddenly put in the arms of the new parent. To a person wanting to choose a 3D ultrasound and a 3D Baby Statue, these aforementioned reasons are all very valid. Additionally, it allows easy sharing between social networks such as brothers, sisters, and grandparents.

3D printed baby statues.

To satisfy even the most demanding expectant parents, ultrasound clinics can offer their clients a 3D printed baby. Not the 2D to 3D rendered images but the real thing. A 3D baby statue created from the actual ultrasound data. Sirbonu offers both ultrasound clinics and parents interested in this product the possibility to have a 3D ultrasound converted into a 3D file used for printing the baby statue. With prices starting as low as 25 Euro for a 3D file, the 3D baby comes into reach of a larger audience.

The only thing needed is a volume file or DICOM file from the ultrasound machine. These files can be made by most ultrasound machines. The volume file is converted and cleaned up by Sirbonu and saved to an STL file. The STL file can be viewed in a 3d program. The parents can decide to either keep this 3D image in digital format just as a photo or to have it printed in any material they like. For more information, please visit the website 3D printed baby statues.

Feel free to contact Sirbonu at info(at)sirbonu.com for more information or a price offer. This service is available globally in any country or region where currently there are no partners using the BabySliceO software.

Sirbonu OÜ is the official EMEA distributor of TOMOVISION BabySliceO ultrasound conversion software. This press release is a commercial message and reflects the view of the writer. Sirbonu OÜ does not advocate nor support overexposure of the baby through 3D ultrasounds for emotional purposes.

Leave a comment

Contemporary Art Projects USA/Gallery announces its return to ART Santa Fe at the Prime Fair Location, Booth #205.

Santa Fe, NM, USA — Contemporary Art Projects USA/Gallery (http://www.contemporaryartprojectsusa.com) announces its return to ART Santa Fe at the Prime Fair Location, Booth #205; as the fair celebrates its seventeenth successful year this summer, July 13-16, 2017, when galleries from around the world will once again offer an outstanding overview of modern and contemporary art.

From very figurative to abstract, as well as Geometric and Kinetic. Their artworks represent all media from metal or Plexiglas sculptures to photography, unique mixed media, painting and tri-dimensional collages. In our booth, we made real the term “Fusion,” which is the leading motive of this Art Fair, assembling together the meanings of fashion, technique, the world and at the same time highlighting the unique creative message of each artist, everyone so different from the other, but forming a whole to celebrate their talent: humanity, beauty, nature and life.

Equities First Holdings, LLC Demonstrates Viability of Securities-Based Lending with 15 Years of Success

Leave a comment

Patience and discipline differentiate EFH from other lenders in the industry.

Indianapolis, IN, USA — Equities First Holdings, LLC (EFH), a provider of alternative shareholder financing, celebrates 15 years of success this month. The vision of founder and CEO Al Christy, Jr., EFH has successfully completed more than 700 transactions and delivered nearly $1 billion USD to clients over the past 4 years. Christy credits his success to hard-won experience, patience, and the discipline of conforming to his own tested loan and investment guidelines.

EFH continues to expand thanks to an investment model that takes advantage of the natural, organic cycles in the market. Before launching EFH in 2002, Christy spent years studying market patterns and using his own funds to test loan and investment strategies. Over time, he developed a methodology that has continued to yield returns for EFH and provide low cost capital for clients:

1. Discipline – Success relies on staying within the boundaries of the EFH model. EFH applies its own rules and guidelines tested over time, and does not deviate from the model.
2. Integrity – EFH is committed to always doing the right thing the right way. That commitment continues to serve the firm and its clients in an industry under close scrutiny by regulatory agencies, and was the genesis for EFH’s mantra – a higher level of lending.
3. Patience – Success takes time. Since the market must be allowed to complete its natural cycle in order for reward to follow risk, EFH builds patience into the terms of its deals to help maximize returns and success.

“Securities-based lending is not a new or untested concept,” said Christy. “It is a long-standing financial tool used by companies, governments, and financial institutions every day. And while securities-based lending may be offered by financial planners, investment advisers, banks, and others as a viable option for clients to raise capital, very few financial institutions, including large commercial banks, can offer non-recourse features or loans with a low cost of funds. We have a successful track record because we live and breathe equities-based lending every day.”

EFH has been able to expand its business model to eight markets. Christy has determined that market performance and the motivations of people who drive those markets is universal, and the same practices and disciplines that are successful in the U.S. are successful overseas as well.

About Equities First Holdings
Since 2002, Equities First Holdings, LLC has provided clients with alternative financing solutions, supplying capital against publicly traded stock to enable clients to meet their personal and professional financial goals. EFH provides capital against shares traded on public exchanges around the world while offering clients competitive loan-to-value rates and low costs of capital. The company has completed more than 700 transactions since its inception, and deployed nearly $1 billion to clients over the past 4 years alone.

EFH is a global company with offices in nine countries, including wholly owned subsidiaries Equities First (London) Limited, Equities First Holdings Hong Kong Limited, Equities First Holdings Singapore Limited, and Equities First Holdings (Australia) Pty Ltd.

“Based on a true story, CHAMELEONS is a superb recounting of what happened to a surviving crew member of a Japanese midget sub after it attacked Pearl Harbor, complete with details about their preparation, as well as present day American investigators probing his secret identity years later.” – Lisa Edelman, IndieReader.com

“I finished your novel a few weeks ago and wanted to let you know I really enjoyed it. It was very memorable – one of those books that stay with you for years. The reason of course is that you did such a remarkable job of placing me into the wartime scenes. Masaharu Yokoyama is a true WWII hero (though an enemy of the U.S.), and I enjoyed seeing how he evolved into Ken Kida over a 70-year span. A well-written novel requires an author to master many skills. For me, the most important is to keep the reader so engrossed that he or she finds it hard to take a break. Based on this…, CHAMELEONS is such a story.” – Don Westenhaver, Vice President, Southern California Writers Association

“Mr. Nannini’s blend of real life events, a compelling modern day mystery, and vibrant characters has resulted in a first-class novel which could easily become a lasting gem in its genre.” – OnLineBookClub.org Review

“This book, from a Japanese viewpoint, from Hawai’i to Korea and back to Hawai’i, was riveting. Some of the war scenes were enough to keep my fingers gripping my seat, literally. You will not see the ending coming, it is a total surprise.”

“In a nutshell, if you like historical war fiction, this is definitely for you. The fact that it is definitely based on true events is proven by the pictures in the back of the book. There is enough here to make you wonder what exactly is fiction and what is not.” – GoodReads.com 4 of 4 Star Review

Tere Fredericks: On Goodreads and Amazon, I gave you 5 stars. This was/is an amazing book. Please get off Facebook, stop eating, and stop doing anything else and get your next two books done, ok? I simply loved this book. Loved it.

5 Gyres Partnering with Forward Reality on Groundbreaking VR Project

Leave a comment

“The Pacific Garbage Patch, A Seagull’s Perspective” will educate millions on the impact of plastic pollution.

Carlsbad, CA, USA — 5 Gyres is partnering with Forward Reality, as an advisor on a Virtual Reality (VR) project to educate people about the serious issue of plastic pollution in our oceans.

The “Pacific Garbage Patch – A Seagull’s Perspective” is a VR experience, that focuses on the Pacific Garbage Patch and the effects of plastics on marine and bird life. It is a compelling interactive experience that brings this critical issue to people’s attention.

Users will view the Pacific Garbage Patch, its origins and affected regions, from the perspective of a Seagull, with voice over narration that explains the content and issues. By viewing multiple locations (the gyre, Midway Island, plastic factories, fish market) players can understand the origin of this plastic garbage, the impact it has on the world around us and the steps they can take to help solve the problem.

Sherri Cuono, CEO of Forward Reality stated “We’re pleased to have the participation of the 5 Gyres Institute on this important project, their expertise on this issue is invaluable”. She added, “Forward Reality will be launching this experience in museums worldwide as well as making it available to the public on multiple VR platforms.”

“Solving the problem of plastic pollution demands innovation,” said Rachel Lincoln Sarnoff, 5 Gyres Executive Director. “We’re honored to share our experience through this exciting new platform to drive awareness and action on this critical issue.”

The “Pacific Garbage Patch – A Seagull’s Perspective” will be released later this year.

ABOUT 5 GYRES
The nonprofit 5 Gyres Institute has been fighting plastic ocean pollution since 2009. Beginning in 2010, 5 Gyres began a series of scientific firsts by researching plastic in all five subtropical gyres, as well as the Great Lakes and Antarctica. In 2014, the organization convened eight scientists around the world to publish the first global estimate of plastic pollution in our ocean: 5.25 trillion particles weighing in at 270,000 tons of “plastic smog” worldwide. 5 Gyres’ paper on plastic microbead pollution in the Great Lakes inspired a two-year collaborative campaign that culminated in a federal ban on microbeads, which President Obama signed into law in 2015. In August, 5 Gyres embarked on its 17th expedition-this time to research microplastics and nanoplastics in the Arctic Circle. More information is at http://www.5gyres.org.
