San Diego, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 08/21/2015 -- Here's a video putting game for the home or office that simulates real golf courses and even miniature golf courses. Unlike other video games, you putt with a real ball and putter, and you have to account for breaks in the trajectory.

It's called the Stracka Putt Game and is the brainchild of SanDiego's Jim Stracka. The game is set up on a special mat with infrared sensors that calculate the path of your putt and display it on your TV or Smartphone. A free app, available from the Apple or Google Play store, tells you where to hit the ball and how hard.

"This technology is great for the 'gaming' millennials and their children," says Stracka, the CEO of StrackaLine (www.strackaline.com). "This is a simple way to play golf in the confines of your own home or office."

With Stracka Putt, you can play on many famous courses, including those currently used on the PGA Tour.

"We use 3D modeling lasers to scan the surface of putting greens from golf courses all around the world," explains Stracka. "The app and books we create allow golfers to see all the slopes and breaks of the green, and see the exact line for their putts."

The Stracka Putt package includes a black box with sensors and power cord, a putter, three golf balls and a special putting mat.

Players can practice, compete on the Internet against other people or compete for cash and prizes in on-line tournaments hosted by StrackaLine. It's fun for golfers and non-golfers of any age, and is an activity the whole family can enjoy.

Stracka needs $50,000 to finish development of the game and start production. The goal is to begin shipping Stracka Putt by the end of 2015. In order to generate this start-up capital, he has launched a Kickstarter campaign, which can be viewed at www.kickstarter.com/projects/stracka/home-putting-simulator-for-golfers

The Kickstarter page includes a demonstration video.

Donations of any amount are welcome. For $20, backers have a choice of a StrackaLine cap or a one-year membership to the StrackaLine App. For $150, you can get the Stracka Putt game itself. That's a $300 value.

"Swinging a video game controller or clicking on a bouncing arrow cannot simulate the feel of a real golf club in your hand," says Stracka. "You can putt on famous courses like Pebble Beach, TPC Sawgrass, or even international courses like the Golf Club of Milano in Italy. Our team is scanning new courses every week, so new courses will always be available for download directly to the game."

Hot Springs, NC -- (SBWIRE) -- 08/19/2015 -- Crowdfunding has become immensely popular over the past few years. It has become a successful way for start-up businesses to launch, musicians to fund recording projects and tours, and for authors to have their works published.

Many independent movies have been all or partially financed through crowdfunding. It has also provided revenue for many worthy social causes.

The Community Learning Center in Hot Springs, N.C., is finding another avenue for this type of fundraising. Staff and students at the center are trying to raise enough money to rehire one of their favorite teachers, Ms. Lisa.

"We hired Ms. Lisa three years ago as our math and music teacher," explains Hot Springs Community Learning Center Program Administrator Deborah DeLisle. "But what we got with her was so much more.

"With her unique, heartfelt guidance and extensive knowledge of music and movement, we have not only shared magical times together, we have created shows throughout the year for our families and the whole community to enjoy.

"This year's budget cuts have made it impossible for our school to keep Ms. Lisa as our teacher. Our school year starts Aug. 17 and we need her to help us learn our math concepts and cultural studies."

So DeLisle has launched a Kickstarter campaign titled "We Want Our Music and Movement Teacher Back." Its goal is to raise $5,000 and can be viewed at www.kickstarter.com/projects/1640868999/we-want-our-music-and-movement-teacher-back

Donations of any amount are welcome but the center is also offering a number of perks to encourage contributions. For $25, backers will receive a piece of homemade children's artwork and a ticket to all three of the center's shows during the 2015-2016 school year: the Appalachian Heritage Festival, Winder Holiday Gathering and Trailfest.

A $50 pledge is rewarded with all of the above plus the center's 2016 calendar. For $500, you can get the artwork, shows and your name (or business name) on a homemade wooden plaque to be posted in the Community Learning Center garden.

"We are a nonprofit community learning center in the Appalachian mountains serving children 3-12 years old with preschool and after-school programs as well as summer camps," says DeLisle. "We provide all the services that support a healthy, active learning mind and body by accessing the resources all around us, including well-educated and experienced teachers who love children with all their hearts.

"Ms. Lisa loved the children and they loved her. We're hoping people will find it in their hearts to help us bring her back."

Los Angeles, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 08/18/2015 -- Monica Carter has a dream and a purpose. Her dream is to launch her own fashion line, which is taking place as we speak. It's called Monica Carter Couture.

Her purpose is to empower women. "I want to ensure that women can feel fabulous and awesome, inside and out, no matter what their physical appearance, ethnicity, culture or environment," says Carter. "A big part of this new clothing line is creating s platform where I can actively be a part of programs that help women achieve their goals."

Toward that end, she is donating a portion of the proceeds from Monica Carter Couture to shelters for battered women and other women's organizations.

A licensed real estate professional, Carter is using her corporate experience to develop a business strategy that will enable her new venture to not only succeed, but to make an impact on society as well.

"My real estate background has taught me that most people don't really know what they want," she explains. "Some people want what they can't afford. Others don't even have a sensible view of the market.

"My job right now is to help them have a vision, of themselves and how they can be fashionable. All women can be stylish and sexy because that really comes from within. I'm just going to help them see that."

At the present time, the Monica Carter Couture line consists of exclusive elegant tops with a few company logos. The goal is expanding the operation to include couture dresses, shoes and much more.

Los Angeles, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 08/11/2015 -- Crowdfunding has become the rage for start-ups, struggling artists, humanitarians and all kinds of entrepreneurial projects. And it works … but only sometimes.

According to Robert Strohmeyer of PCworld.com, "only 44 percent of Kickstarter projects meet their funding goal. Of roughly 60,000 unsuccessful projects, nearly 40,000 failed to reach even 20 percent of their goal."

Strohmeyer estimates the Indiegogo success rate to be about 34 percent.

Debe Fennell, Director of newly created CrowdMoxie (www.crowdmoxie.com), has a better solution. She calls it Evergreen CrowdFunding, a process in which the company takes an active role in the success of crowdfunding projects.

"The reasons that traditional crowdfunding fails are simple," says Fennell. "There is too much of a heavy reliance on social media and most campaigns run for just a limited time, usually only 60 days. Plus the crowdfunding company offers little or no support. It just provides a web page."

In addition, some crowdfunding platforms have an all-or-nothing policy. If you don't reach your goal, all the money that has been raised must be returned. Evergreen Crowdfunding addresses all of these issues and more by providing strategic, technical and marketing support to help create successful campaigns.

"Our crowdfunding experts work with you on your campaign strategy and page elements," explains Fennell. "Then our copywriters and designers put the page together for your approval. Once approved, it goes live.

"Our clients use our unique Joint Venture CO-OP platform to drive traffic to their campaigns, where they build a mailing list of qualified leads. They leverage this list, plus their social media, radio, and SEO traffic into additional visitors through joint venturing with our specialized mailing lists. Our lists include conscious consumers who are interested in life enhancement, human potential, cooking & gardening, and several other markets."

Not only that, but there are no time limits for campaigns and clients keep 100 percent of the crowdfunding contributions. They pay an up-front membership fee of $900-1,000 to cover setup and Joint Venture kick-off costs.

"Evergreen CrowdFunding is a new way of funding that combines co-operative joint venture marketing with traditional crowdfunding to provide far more successful outcomes," says Fennell. "Evergreen CrowdFunding builds your mailing list while promoting your campaign. There's no time limit so campaigns have more time to build momentum." When your CrowdFunding is complete, you can continue to use the platform to build your mailing list."

New York, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 08/07/2015 -- It may not be glamorous, lucrative or even secure, but Garrett Robinson does lead a rather interesting life. He's an author, a poet and a singer who believes in following his dream.

A New York City resident since 2011, Robinson is making his stage debut at the age of 42, performing a one-man musical at the United Solo Theatre Festival on Oct. 17. It's an adaptation of his novel, Zoe.

The production is called Letters to Zoey and is a semi-autobiographical account of a character named Weldon Keyes. "He jumps on a coal train and leaves his hometown," says Robinson. "Weldon writes letters to his girlfriend Zoey, describing his adventures, coming to terms with himself and his relationship with her.

"It's actually based on my own experience in 1992 when I jumped on a coal train in Irondale, Alabama and wandered around the country for a year. I learned a lot about myself and what I wanted to do with my life."

Since 2012, Robinson has been marketing his books on the street, reading his novels and poetry to anyone who would listen.

"I have received some amazing responses," he says. "Not only have people written numerous reviews for my books on Amazon and Goodreads, someone in France is translating my novella, Zoe, into French as she pursues her PhD. Also, I regularly receive heartwarming messages from all over the world on my social media sites.

"This musical will provide the means to share more of my love of literature with the public."

Robinson is looking for some financial help with his new off-Broadway production as he has laid out nearly $3,000 to participate in the festival. This money has covered registration, ads, costumes, a set and service fees.

In order to recoup his investment, he has launched an Indiegogo campaign, which can be viewed at
www.indiegogo.com/projects/letters-to-zoey-a-musical

The page includes a 12-minute documentary that examines his unique book-marketing techniques and provides a revealing look at his New York City lifestyle.

To encourage donations, Robinson is offering several perks. For a $25 contribution, backers will receive a 10 percent discount on any of his books sold on Createspace.com. A $100 pledge gets you an autographed copy of a Robinson book plus a 25 percent discount on any other of his works.

"This is a big step for me and I'm hoping people will support this project," he says. "I'm also hoping for a good turnout at the show on Oct. 17."

Lowell, MA -- (SBWIRE) -- 07/31/2015 -- John Spiller has come up with a new type of open D6 role-playing game. Using a three-dimensional game board, various creatures and dice, the game gives more creative control to players and game masters, removing the need for complex playing guides.

It's called Hoard The Spoils and the storyline is set in a mythical society where the local governments have been living off free labor and exorbitant taxes from the residents, who have been brainwashed to forget their individual rights.

The people finally realize their terrible plight and are rebelling. They are protesting at town halls and threatening to withhold their taxes.

The citizens and politicians now clash at every turn so Hoard The Spoils becomes a test of skills and combat maneuvers.

"It's simply a case of walking your own path and doing what is right for yourself," says Spiller. "When you are perceived as the villain, however, simply by wanting to keep what you earned, well a villain you will be.

"Of course, the true villains of the story are those using you as a scapegoat in order to gain control over the populace.  So grab a shovel to hide your coins, weapons, and all that you have earned. Stay out of sight or in the very dungeons you risked your life in so you can protect what belongs to you from those masquerading as knights in shining armor."

Hoard The Spoils is still in the testing stage and Spiller's company, Perseverance Ink, needs $5,000 to complete the project. In order to generate this funding, he has launched a Kickstarter campaign, which can be viewed at www.kickstarter.com/projects/754664525/hoard-the-spoils

The Kickstarter page includes a video demonstration of the game.

Those who would like to back this project can provide monetary contributions or simply download the free alpha test at www.drivethrurpg.com/product/143797/Hoard-The-Spoils-Core-Rulebook-Alpha-Testing?term=hoard+th and provide feedback.

For $10, backers can receive a PDF copy of the Hoard The Spoils book. A pledge of $25 is rewarded with a softcover copy. A $75 contribution is good for the first adventure of the game plus hardcover and softcover copies of the book.

"This mythical world needs a new kind of hero," says Spiller. "It could be you. Although the citizens don't know it yet, they need individuals like you."

Las Vegas, NV -- (SBWIRE) -- 07/20/2015 -- Samuel Paniagua, a Miami entrepreneur who develops on-line shopping websites, was previously being investigated in 2009 for communications fraud by the Miami-Dade Prosecutor's office.

Even though the case is closed, Paniagua is maintaining his innocence, claiming that he was previously being investigated solely because of his association with MR Morales, who was convicted of a similar offense several years ago.

"This is clearly guilt by association," says James Holden, a spokesman for Paniagua.

Paniagua, who served a three-year sentence for organized communications fraud from 2011-13, refused to testify in the Morales case.

"Because of his refusal to testify against MR Morales, the prosecution trumped up charges against Samuel Paniagua in an effort to retaliate against him," Holden says. "In fact, Mr. Paniagua was in prison on the dates that he supposedly witnessed the crimes committed by MR Morales."

Holden goes on to claim that local prosecutors illegally accessed records about Paniagua to bolster their case.

"These are illegal and unconstitutional tactics we see over and over again in this country to deprive citizens of their rights to fair trails and gain unethical advantages to convict innocent people," Holden says. "Now the FBI has launched an investigation against the Dade County Prosecutor's office and more details will be provided at a later time as this breaking story develops."

James Holden can be reached at newswire@newsinfo.org

Jerusalem, Israel -- (SBWIRE) -- 07/20/2015 -- Here's a project that is not only immense and complex but also one of the most pretentious ventures of all time.

Israeli Ben Solomon is looking to rewrite the Bible.

"This interpretation will not stray even a millimeter from the inherent ideas conveyed in the original text," says Solomon. "It will integrate the past with the future, and provide answers for anyone who uses the thought patterns and intelligence of a man living in the modern world."

His goal is to develop an interpretation that will return the Bible to its place of prominence. "The Bible should hold a place of respect in every man's mind," Solomon says. "This new version will serve as a useful tool, as a source of ideas and information for anyone at all who studies it."

The Bible is the most famous and most widely disseminated piece of writing in the world, and serves as the basis for the three monotheistic religions, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Solomon notes that as each religion has added denominations, there have been varying interpretations.

"In fact," Solomon says, "university professors have discovered countless examples that disprove things written in the Bible. Due to the proliferation of so many theories, interpretations, and holy wars, the main ideas inherent in the Bible have gotten lost by the wayside.

"This new version will be earthshaking for people on both ends of the spectrum, in that it will also challenge the authenticity of the Bible."

Solomon is not shying away from the brazen nature of this undertaking, calling it the "Grandiose Project of Modern Bible Interpretation."

Yes, it's grandiose, pretentious and ostentatious. And it's also intensive, time-consuming and must be, above all, accountable. Solomon has established a budget of $100,000, which will cover research and writing, editing and pagination, translation into as many languages as possible, and worldwide distribution.

In order to raise this capital, Solon has launched an Indiegogo campaign, which can be viewed at
https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/grandiose-project-of-modern-bible-interpretation#/story

Donations of any amount are welcome. A contribution of $100 will be rewarded with an autographed copy of the modern Bible interpretation.

"Unlike what was acceptable in the past, this book will be written using an approach and style that can be understood by anyone," says Solomon. "Concepts and perceptions from our own times will also be included, making it more relevant for the average person."

Torrance, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 07/17/2015 -- There are thousands of games that you can play on your Smartphone or tablet but how many of them require you to use your brain?

Not many. In most cases, it's the bang-bang-bang of quick reaction time and fast moving images.

Crazy Pelican Games of Torrance, Calif., is now offering something different. It's called "Victory" and is a challenging game for people who want to use their minds. It can be played on tablets and Smartphones using both Apple's iOS and Google's Android operating systems.

"This game makes your brain sharp instead of making your thumbs ache," says Jeff Donohue, CEO of Crazy Pelican Games. "It's the ultimate strategy game that challenges the wit in all of us. Victory has many of the features of classic games we all fell in love with – plus modern digital graphics and features.

"It's the best of both worlds."

The goal of the game is to move from one side of the game board to the other, similar to marching downfield in a football game. Players need to roll digital dice to move forward. But in order to advance, you need to defeat your opponent's strategies.

"Every game is different," says Donohue, "and every player has different strategies."

The concept and graphics have been fully developed but the game still needs to be programmed, marketed and distributed. Donohue has established a budget of $30,000.

In order to generate this capital, he has launched a Kickstarter campaign, which can be viewed at
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1778429650/victory

The page includes a demonstration video.

Donations of any amount are welcome. Backers who contribute $5 will receive a copy of the game when it's completed. Those who pledge $20 get a "Victory" coffee mug and a copy of the game.

A $50 contribution gets you the game plus a "Victory" T-shirt.

"We believe that gamers will really enjoy this new type of game and we're hoping they'll help us get this project off the ground," Donohue says. "Even small donations are really appreciated."

Valley Stream, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 07/13/2015 -- When it comes to guitar playing, Jimi Durso of Valley Stream, N.Y., does it all. Rock, jazz, reggae, ska, funk, salsa and classical. He's been playing and teaching for more than 20 years and is now engrossed in his most ambitious project ever.

Durso is taking selections from Hungarian composer Bela Bartok's collection of piano pieces and reworking them for classical guitar. Bartok, a Hungarian composer and pianist who lived from 1881-1945, is considered to be one of the most important composers of the 20th century.

These selections will be taken from Bartok's Mikrokosmos, a six-volume collection of graded piano pieces.

"If you're a fan of Bela Bartok, classical guitar or both, you're really going to enjoy this," he says. "It's also going to expand the repertoire of modern music available for beginning and intermediate classical guitar."

Through this project, Durso is going to record these reworked pieces and also make them available as sheet music.

"When I was in college, I was studying classical guitar and always looking for more modern pieces to perform," explains Durso. "I found that much of Bartok's Mikrokosmos translates very well to classical guitar, even though these pieces were originally intended for piano students.

"The pieces are not only wonderful but also address some things not often found in student pieces, like odd time signatures and unusual modes."

So far, he has transformed 12 pieces. "Transcribing, learning and recording these pieces is a long process," says Durso. "And even though I'll be recording them myself, there are additional expenses involved."

He estimates the minimum cost to be around $3,000. This would cover CD duplication, advertising, book printing, artwork, mastering and on-line distribution.

In order to generate this funding, Durso has launched a Kickstarter campaign, which can be viewed at
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1185977168/bela-bartoks-mikrokosmos-for-classical-guitar

The Kickstarter page includes Durso performing some Bartok pieces.

Donations of any amount are welcome. For a $7 contribution, backers will receive a digital download of the entire album. A $12 pledge is good for a physical CD of the album plus the digital download.

Chicago, IL -- (SBWIRE) -- 07/13/2015 -- At MagSOL Labs, they have made it their mission to bring light and hope to places that have none. Our new ESL (*Easel*) is the world's first solar power and wireless (Qi) mobile charging station.

Lightweight and compact, the ESL converts solar energy into wireless battery power for virtually any electronic device. A single day of sunlight is enough for four smartphone charges with no wires or power outlets needed. From grabbing a quick charge when you're on the go or whenever you might be off the grid, the ESL is designed to keep you connected.

"It's portable and perfect for life on the go," notes Ron Vick, co-founder of MagSOL Labs, Inc. "The ESL is the only battery charging device that can be fully used without wires or power outlets."

The ESL charges smartphones and other electronic devices through Qi-Based wireless charging and also supports USB TurboCharging through a USB Cable. It has an internal battery that can charge a typical smartphone up to 4 times. While wireless charging, it can hold the smartphone in the perfect spot.

In addition, the ESL can reduce electricity costs and power-consuming impact on the environment. This can be critical in areas of the world where affordable electric power and access to electricity is an issue.

"This product is ideal for camping, outdoor activities, airports, long trips, or emergency situations," says Vick. "We believe it will revolutionize the mobile device industry, enabling millions of users to easily charge their phones and tablets in situations where it once was impossible."

Mossel Bay, South Africa -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/25/2015 -- Austrian photojournalist Angela Raab is on a mission to save one of the world's oldest creatures.

The rhinoceros.

"The rhino has been walking the earth since the dawn of time," explained Raab. "Long ago, these animals were widespread, roaming African and Asian rain forests in high numbers. Today rhinos are in danger of extinction because of human greed."

Poachers have been killing these proud beasts in large numbers as the horns are extremely valuable. In fact, the sales of rhino horns are a major funding mechanism for terrorist cells throughout the world.

Raab has teamed up with filmmaker Clare James to produce a documentary about this issue. The film, titled The Last Stand, seeks to raise awareness about rhino poaching and the work of Anti-Poaching Units (APU).

"Nighttime is a very vulnerable time for the rhinos and the poachers use very sophisticated equipment, like night vision and thermal goggles, to track them down," says Dr. William Fowlds, a South African veterinary surgeon and an advocate for the APU."

"I have an enormous amount of respect for the men and women in the APU. It's a tireless and stressful job. They're defending a wildlife heritage that belongs to all of us in the global community" says Dr. William Fowlds.

"Our main goal is to stay one step ahead of them and the technology they use. The APU is struggling to keep up with the technology that the poachers are using. It's like we are fighting a war in the dark" says Justin Fox, a private game reserve owner and rhino advocate as well as head of the APU we are working with and who supported us from day 1.

Raab and James need about $200,000 to complete this documentary. In order to generate funding, they have launched a Kickstarter campaign, which can be viewed at https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1359303880/the-last-stand-support-africas-anti-poaching-units

The Kickstarter page includes clips from the film.

Donations of any amount are welcome. For a $100 contribution, backers will receive an autographed copy of The Last Stand. A $1,000 pledge is good for a copy of the film plus your name in the rolling credits.

"We have spent four months in Africa, traveling the rhino trails, building contacts and listening to all angles of the story," says Raab. "We have made so much progress, and invested so much time and money into this. We are determined not to give up.

"The men and women of the APU are also investing all their time and energy into protecting the remaining rhinos, mostly on a shoestring budget. Our goal with this film is to show the hardship, daily life, emotional strain, financial difficulties and commitment of these dedicated people."

Potters Bar, UK -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/19/2015 -- Stefan Schenkelberg may be devastated by the recent loss of two family members but he is moving forward with plans to open a unique take-away food business in London.

Named after Schenkelberg's brother Rainer, it will be called Rainer's Bavarian Grill and feature authentic German cuisine. Rainer died a few months ago at age 54 after suffering through a life of paralysis caused by cerebral palsy. In the past year, Schenkelberg has also lost an Uncle.

"Rainer loved our homemade German curry sauce the most and he was very excited about the prospects of our opening our food stand in London," recalls Schenkelberg. "So we are using his memory as motivation for our new business."

Rainer's Bavarian Grill, set to open in mid-July, will also have an eye-catching presence as the stand will be housed in a traditional wooden Bavarian house. A location in Islington, one of London's most busy trading areas, has been secured and a plan is in place to promote the venue through regular Oktoberfest events.

For festival events, the Bavarian Grill will utilize an even more unique structure, a 10-foot tall Coca Cola can with a small kitchen inside.

"We're going to serve great food and I think people will really notice us. It's going to stand out, even on a crowded street," says Schenkelberg, who will run the business with his wife, Regina. "Where else can you get authentic Bavarian cooking to take out?"

In addition, the food stand will use air fryers instead of deep-fat fryers and offer wholesome, low-fat alternatives for those who are focused on healthy diets.

"There will be something for everyone, served quickly at a reasonable price,"

Schenkelberg says. "We're targeting businesspeople in the area and expect it to be a very popular spot."

The business plan has been developed, the menu has been set and food distributors have been lined up. The cooking equipment is ready to go. All that is needed is a small amount of start-up capital, about 10,000 pounds ($15,203 US).

In order to generate this funding, Schenkelberg has launched a Kickstarter campaign, which can be viewed at
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1393715315/rainers-bavarian-grill

Donations of any amount are welcome. For a contribution of 10 pounds ($15 US), backers will receive a jar of their delicious German curry sauce. A pledge of 25 pounds ($38 US) is good for two meals from Rainer's Bavarian Grill. For 50 pounds ($76 US), you can get a full three-course-meal for two.

"Opening this food venue will be our tribute to Rainer," Schenkelberg says.

Cranston, RI -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/18/2015 -- alikeU.com was wholeheartedly embraced by top Indian officials at the Indo Bangladesh Korean Cultural Festival 2015 organized by Master Pradipta Kumar Roy of Roy's Taekwondo Academy in Kolkata, India on May 17.

alikeU.com founder and CEO, Master Sayed Najem, presented the highest alikeU Ambassador Awards to dignitaries of India and Bangladesh including His Excellency the Governor of West Bengal, Keshari Nath Tripathi, and His Excellency Sarbananda Sonowal, Minister of Sport and Youth Affairs for the Republic of India.

Also in attendance was Indian film actress superstar and producer, Rituparna-Sengupta. After Najem's alikeU.com presentation, officials and dignitaries publicly agreed to support the new online and mobile social network organized around shared interests.

alikeU.com (http://www.alikeU.com) is a new way to connect, create, and share. Its innovative proprietary platform addresses a real need in the social media ecosystem. "With over a billion people using social media every day, it's easy to get bored with irrelevant content. alikeU focuses on specific interests so the connection is deeper and more engaging," said alikeU CEO Sayed Najem. "In addition to creating a richer social experience, my goal with alikeU.com is to use it as a force for good in society."

The company just announced its first Kickstarter campaign (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1003204029/the-global-network-of-your-common-interests). Najem is an Olympic Silver medalist and World Champion in Taekwondo originally from Lebanon. He draws all of his creative intellect and inspiration from Steve Jobs and Apple.

Najem has studied meditation for four years under 7th generation Indian spiritual healer and Meditation Master, Professor Sasi Velupillai, of Los Angeles, CA.  After a meditation retreat together to India in 2011, Professor Sasi began calling Najem Comte Sayed Gates, in reference to a vision he had about Najem's future impact on the tech industry.

Just as Steve Jobs' time in India and his deep commitment to meditation sparked the design revolution and beautiful simplicity of Apple, so has Najem's time in India and deep commitment to meditation sparked the beautiful simplicity of alikeU. When Jobs died, the New York Times ran a stirring quote about what he did for society: "You touched an ugly world of technology and made it beautiful." Master Sayed Najem will continue to use his deep spiritual connection to Steve Jobs for the courage, resoluteness, and austerity that will lead alikeU.com to dominate the social networking arena.

Austin, TX -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/18/2015 -- Memphis DiAngelis is not just trying to produce an independent film. His objective is to broadcast an important message to whole world.

DiAngelis, who has cerebral palsy, wants to get the word out about "inclusion casting." This means getting work for actors with disabilities. His short film, From CP to Hollywood, is loosely based on his own life. It's a drama about an actor with a disability trying to make it in Hollywood.

"It's a difficult road and he runs into one obstacle after another," says DiAngelis. "With this film, I'm promoting acceptance and inclusion of people with disabilities. This is an important concept and one that people need to understand. Disabled actors have not been able to make any serious inroads into the Hollywood scene."

There are, however, many documentaries about people with disabilities and organizations that help disabled individuals learn how to make films. Inclusion Films, located in Burbank, Calif., trains disabled adults in the art of filmmaking, producing and editing.

Dan Habib, a filmmaker at the University of New Hampshire's Institute on Disability, has produced several award-winning documentaries about the disabled, including a film about his son titled Including Samuel. Over the years, Habib has worked hard to overcome the cultural and systemic barriers to inclusion.

DiAngelis has decided to take a different track, attempting to open new doors for actors and actresses with physical and developmental disabilities.

"If we can get actual movie roles for the disabled, it would go a long way toward fostering acceptance in our society," he says. "It would place these individuals in a highly visible place, creating new jobs and opportunities for the handicapped."

DiAngelis has completed the script and enlisted the services of a co-director. Now comes the hard part: hiring a crew and actors, filming, editing, writing music, marketing and distribution.

"I'd like to have well-known actors in the cast to help promote the film," he says.

The budget is $15,000 and, in order to generate this funding, DiAngelis has launched a Kickstarter campaign, which can be viewed at https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/287518268/from-cp-to-hollywood-a-short-film-about-an-actor-w

Donations of any amount are welcome. For a $15 contribution, backers will receive a DVD of the film. AS $50 pledge is good for the DVD plus the opportunity to be an extra on the set for one day.

"Acceptance and inclusion of people with disabilities is an important message," says DiAngelis. "Please help me spread the word."

Orlando, FL -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/08/2015 -- Longtime sailing enthusiast Tom Phillips of Orlando, Fla. is looking to combine the best of both worlds: the speed and maneuverability of the latest hydrofoil technology along with the luxury of a 70-foot catamaran.

So far the new "foiling" methods have only been used for small boats and they've worked extremely well. "The technology is available and we're looking to bring it into the cruising world," says Phillips. "We are seeking funding for the research, development and construction of a completely carbon fiber luxury cruising yacht that employs this foiling technology.

"Imagine the ride of a 70-foot catamaran at 30 knots. Fast, comfortable, flat. And you can navigate in shallow waters. It's not going to take a day or more to move from one perfect anchorage to another, plus we can go where most keel boats cannot, we can maneuver into a shallow harbor."

Phillips's company, Zephyrous Charters, has assembled a top-notch team to take on this landmark project. Peter Johnstone, founder and CEO of Gunboat, is the builder. Johnstone and his staff are the leaders in building carbon fiber catamarans.

The DNA Design Team from Holland will design this new catamaran. DNA is best known for the three-time World Champion DNA A-Class catamaran.

"This new foiling technology will obtain at least an 80 percent lift to increase speed and enhance stability but retain the refined characteristics of a cruising catamaran," Phillips says.

Here are some of the technical advances that will be incorporated into the design:

- L-foil daggerboards
- Central spine
- Lightweight carbon construction
- Mainsail control system
- Shoal draft

"When you arrive at your cruising destination, you will feel at ease, knowing that this cat should draw less than three feet," notes Phillips. "With rudders, daggerboards, and props all fully retracted, you'll be free to skim over skinny waters."

This project is, however, an ambitious proposition with a budget of $500,000. In order to generate this funding, Phillips has launched a Kickstarter campaign, which can be viewed at https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/864977498/foiling-cats

Donations of any amount are welcome and all contributors are invited to the 2016 Miami International Boat Show Feb. 11-15 for a complimentary ride on the new catamaran.

Backers who make a $25 pledge will receive a T-shirt with the Foiling Cats logo. A $100 donation gets you a ticket to the official launch party at the 2016 Miami Boat Show. For $1,000 you receive 2 nights lodging in Miami, 2 boat show tickets and 2 launch party tickets. For $10,000, contributors can take a three-day cruise on the new catamaran.

"This is the next revolution in sailing," says Phillips. "We'd love people to join us."

Additionally all attendees at the launch will have the opportunity to have their picture taken and autographs signed by some of the Americas Cup team that will be in attendance, as well as some US Olympic medalists.

Albany, New Zealand -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/04/2015 -- New Zealander Rob Martin knows the hospitality business. And he also knows that in today's digital, social media, Smartphone world, exposure on the web is not just helpful.

It's essential.

"That's how people search for restaurants, bars and clubs," says Martin, who has worked in just about every conceivable capacity in the industry, as a manager and an employee, for more than 17 years in North America. "They want something good, close-by and a place with a reputation."

"People want to see prices and menus. It's not like the old days when offering superior service and ambiance along with great food and drinks was enough. Now Yelpers, Foodies, Trip Advisors, Zomato, Urban Spoon, Open Table, Facebook and Twitter have the trump card when it comes to who's hot and who's not. It's a new game now and you have to adapt."

Martin's company, Restaurant Dominator (http://www.restaurantdominator.com), offers a wide array of services that combine hospitality expertise with modern-day promotional strategies.

The company offers:

- Mobile-friendly websites
- Search-engine optimization (SEO)
- Social marketing
- Reputation marketing
- E-mail marketing
- Press releases
- Event management software
- Reservations software
- Web hosting

Although based in New Zealand, Restaurant Dominator provides services to clients in the US and Canada as well as Australia and New Zealand.

"This is not a one-size-fits-all business model," explains Martin. "Every restaurant, pub, bar, nightclub is different and we tailor our services to maximize the exposure for each venue. Owning an eatery or watering hole in today's market has never been more challenging. In fact, 60 percent of businesses in hospitality fail in the first year.

"Staying on top of the ever-changing market requires constant awareness of your marketing strategies and those of your competitors. That's where our expertise comes in. We know the food and drink business and we know marketing.

"For example, mobile-friendly websites are a necessity because so many people search for restaurants and clubs on their phones. If the wait is too long to get seated or they don't like the way a place looks, they'll check their phone and go somewhere else."

About Restaurant Dominator
Restaurant Dominator offers a number of different packages to suit businesses of all kinds and sizes. Monthly packages, which include custom website design and hosting, start at $1,500. Hospitality owners can sample a free website demo (a $299 value) by filling out a web form.

"We take the learning curve out of getting you exposure so you can focus on what you do best, create awesome food and drinks. It doesn't matter if you're a small family diner, pizza joint, premium steakhouse, winery, bar or nightclub. We can help."

OFallon, IL -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/04/2015 -- We all wear some sort of casual clothing at times. The basic requirements are that it's comfortable and looks good.

Anisa Thomas of O'Fallon, Ill., wants to take things one step further. "I'm part of a family and veteran-owned business called Extreme Pride," she says. "We believe that clothing should reflect who we are, what we feel and the pride that strengthens us as we face our everyday challenges."

The Extreme Pride (EP) line proudly champions youth education, women's empowerment, and the reduction of homeless and unemployed veterans. To facilitate this, EP established a not-for-profit (Wingman Global) to raise funds for these causes. "Extreme Pride is apparel with a purpose and will undoubtedly bring pride and a sense of purpose to anyone who wears it," says Thomas.

The EP collection includes four distinct brands: American Guardian, Lady Wingman, A7V Ascension and the flagship brand, Extreme Pride. Infused with energy and innovation, in addition to awesome and inspirational apparel, Extreme Pride introduces several new concepts/products including Youth Challenge/Appreciation Coins, the 6-Pack personal transport bag for the iPhone 6, and the BWC-FMD (Because We Care-Family and Military Deployer kit.

Under the A7V line, there are T-shirts, sweatshirts, polo shirts, hoodies and long-sleeve casual wear inscribed with empowering slogans like "Trust In Yourself, Believe In Yourself and You Can Achieve for Yourself" and "Limits are for people with: limited vision, limited skills and unlimited excuses. Don't limit yourself!"

American Guardian apparel expresses the pride we all have in those who have served in the armed forces. "These people are the pride of our nation," Thomas says. "We should be honoring them not just on Memorial Day and Veterans Day, but every day because they have honored us with their service and their lives."

"Lady Wingman honors all the special ladies in our lives, be it our mother, grandmother, wife, girlfriend, daughter or sister," Thomas explains. "These are the women who raised us, nurtured us, schooled us, protected us and loved us. No matter who you are, or what your situation may have been, they always had our backs. Before there was the word 'wingman,' they were always there watching our six!"

At the present time, Extreme Pride is in the design phase and needs some start-up capital to begin production. The estimate is $20,000.

In order to generate this funding, Thomas has launched a Kickstarter campaign, which can be viewed at
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/2000261517/extreme-pride-apparel-with-a-purpose

The Kickstarter page includes dozens of color photos of Extreme Pride apparel.

Donations of any amount are welcome. For a $25 contribution, backers will receive an Extreme Pride T-shirt and their names will be listed as a Founder on the Extreme Pride website http://www.extremepride.us

An $85 pledge is good for a casual canvas 6-Pack Mobile Device Transport Bag for the iPhone 6 or the canvas MDTB for iPhone 5s/5c plus two Extreme Pride T-shirts.

"So what makes Extreme Pride different from any other clothing brand? We feel the names of the brands themselves and the concepts behind them set up apart from anyone else. We chose the names of our brands to personify our everyday lives, challenges, objectives or achievements," Thomas says. "In that regard we are the same as everyone else, and not an expensive, impersonal designer label. Without a doubt, Extreme Pride a world-class line of clothing that is personal and relevant to everyone."

Sterling, MI -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/04/2015 -- David Bookie has been involved with a Sterling, Mich., horse ranch for the past 10 years. He has seen it grow into a vibrant part of the community, offering affordable riding lessons for children and free weekend clinics. Families who own horses can also board them at the ranch.

With the owners moving to Arizona, the ranch is in danger of closing and Bookie is trying his best to save it. He not only wants to keep the ranch going but has plans to expand the services so even more local children can benefit.

"I have seen a lot of kids improve their self esteem as a result of working with horses," says Bookie. "They learn important things about taking care of the horse and learn to become more responsible. It really gives them a sense of accomplishment and boosts their confidence.

"It would be a shame to take this away from the kids in this area. We've put together a plan that will enable the ranch to continue operations."

The new plan includes a therapeutic component. A local physical therapist, certified in riding therapy, has joined the project team. The ranch team also intends to reach out to local schools and organizations, offering weekend retreats and free riding for children, and expanding its overall scope of services.

"We really feel it's important to the community to keep this ranch alive," Bookie says.

Funding is a major issue. Purchasing the land, hiring staff and buying equipment all needs to come out of a start-up budget. The total cost is estimated to be $150,000.

In order to generate this funding, Bookie has launched a Kickstarter campaign, which can be viewed at

The hope is that people around the country who love horses and want to help sponsor children's programs will provide financial support. "Even a small donation helps a lot," says Bookie.

For a $25 contribution, backers will receive a $25 gift card, good for any service provided by the ranch. A $100 pledge is good for a $50 gift card and a "Save the Ranch" T-shirt.

"I strongly believe in this project," Bookie says. "That's why I've invested a lot of time and my own money. We have assembled a great team and we all love horses and children. With enough outside support, we'll be able to keep it going."

Fishers, IN -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/04/2015 -- These days Sandra McCollum isn't finding many television shows that inspire her – and she wants to change this trend.

"It's totally depressing," says McCollum.  "You turn on the news, and it's all about the most recent murders, political scandals, high-stakes divorces and skyrocketing unemployment rates.  The TV shows aren't much better. They're primarily about crime or dysfunctional families and the top-grossing movies are based on comic book heroes or fantasy characters.

"Whatever happened to real-life heroes, the people who inspire us to do better and make a better life for ourselves and others?"

McCollum would like to provide something different. She doesn't have the resources or connections to produce a major motion picture or a network television show, but a small independent film series would be a step in the right direction. McCollum would like to begin work on quarterly half-hour video series that would be available on YouTube and Vimeo.

"These films would be about about everyday people who inspire us through their lives, beliefs and actions," she says. "Now, more than ever, we need to hear about the people who are having a positive influence on our lives.

"I'm not talking about famous people – they get enough coverage in People Magazine and on Entertainment Tonight – but the everyday people who are quietly going about their business, influencing others by their beliefs, actions and lives."

Producing films, even short ones, is an expensive proposition. McCollum estimates her annual budget for four films (including start-up costs for the first year) will be $350,000. This would cover professional script writers, cameramen, technicians, editing, equipment and music as well as a small allotment for marketing.

In order to generate this capital, she has launched a Kickstarter campaign, which can be viewed at
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/sandymac6614/people-who-inspire-us

McCollum is convinced that many people all over the country feel the same way she does and will support this project. Donations of any amount are welcome.

For a $25 contribution, backers can submit information about inspirational people they feel should be included in the series. $1,000 contributors will help select the four persons about which the first year's films will be made. Other smaller pledges are rewarded with coffee mugs, baseball caps, t-shirts or polo shirts inscribed with the "People Who Inspire Us" saying. Other larger pledges receive DVDs of the films, autographed pictures of the film subjects or credit in the films as a backer.

"The videos can't just be about interesting people," notes McCollum. "There has to be a worthwhile story or lesson to be learned behind each one in order to make the series really stand out and be successful."

Monterey, TN -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/03/2015 -- Scott Przirembel of Hong Kong has spent the past six years developing and marketing "sneaky flasks," containers that hold alcoholic beverages incognito. His products include hollowed-out hairbrushes, cameras and binoculars.

These items enable the user to sneak alcohol into concerts, ballgames, restaurants, bars and anywhere else he or she desires. The development of new "sneaky flasks" is always ongoing.

Przirembel's latest product is the Bev-Can Body Spray Secret Flask, a container that looks just like a can of deodorant. Made of food-grade aluminum and plastic, it will hold 7-8 ounces (205-235 ml) of liquid and measures 5½ inches high by 2¼ inches in diameter. The Bev-Can retails for $24.99 plus $5 shipping.

"We will use a thermal cylindrical printer to put the images on the can," explains Przirembel. "It's the same process used on actual cans of deodorant, ensuring that the flask will look completely realistic.

"Besides being the first secret flask of its kind, we've taken the Bev-Can a step further. Every production run will have a different look. The design and color scheme will change, much the way you have different brands of deodorant in retail stores."

This latest "sneaky flask," claims Przirembel, will probably pay for itself in the first night of use. Przirembel, "I am doing this project through Kickstarter to keep the price for everyone as low as possible."

Due to the nature of the design and a larger-than-usual minimum order required to ensure high quality and low prices, $20,000 is needed in up-front capital to fund the first round of production. In order to generate this funding, Przirembel has launched a Kickstarter campaign, which can be viewed at https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1199347898/the-bev-can-body-spray-secret-flask

The Kickstarter page includes a video of the Bev-Can in action.

An "early bird" special is available through Kickstarter. For $16, backers will receive a Bev-Can Body Spray Secret Flask with free shipping to anywhere in the world. That's a savings of nearly 50 percent. A $300 pledge is good for a special first-production unit of flask, numbered and signed by the creator. Free worldwide shipping is included.

"We are ready to start the tooling process as soon as we are fully funded," says Przirembel. "We have an agreement with the same manufacturer we have used to produce our last six sneaky flasks as well as other products. Delivery is scheduled for early September, with the product run starting 45 days prior to that."

Reno, NV -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/02/2015 -- Everyone faces this dilemma at one time or another and many deal with it on a regular basis.

"What am I going to cook tonight? What do I have in the refrigerator?"

Let's face it. We're all busy and don't always have the time to go food shopping. At the same time, we don't want to eat the same thing day after day.

The answer is a revolutionary new mobile application: Cook Jinni.

"By scanning the barcodes of food you have in the kitchen, this app analyzes your options and makes suggestions about what to prepare," explains Cicely Ford of West Palm Beach, Fla., head of the team developing the Cook Jinni app. "In many cases, it can also create a video session that shows how how to prepare those meals."

So, the app basically generates recipes – for individuals, families or groups. Cook Jinni provides access to vegan, low-calorie, low-fat and low-salt recipes as well as the entire recipe database. All types of different cuisines (American, French, Mexican, etc.) are available.

"Cook Jinni caters to chefs, cooking enthusiasts and homemakers who are seeking convenient cooking alternatives for meal preparation," Ford says. "It's an easy way for stay-at-home chefs to prepare a home-cooked meal without shopping for ingredients. The app can offer various replacement options that can be substituted for recipe items that may be unavailable."

Ford notes that similar existing apps, like Big Oven and Paprika, have grossed more than $6 million over the past two years. "There is a market for this type of service," she says. "Cook Jinni will have better features and a lower cost per download."

The app will cost just $2.97 for the initial download and $1 per month.

Ford and her team need some financial assistance to bring this item to market. The project is 94 percent completed and scheduled for a mid-July launch but an additional $8,100 is required for a global marketing program.

In order to generate this funding, Ford has launched a Kickstarter campaign, which can be viewed at https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/cookjinni/cook-jinni-mobile-app

Donations of any amount are welcome. For a contribution of $200, backers can help create a recipe and give it a unique name. A $600 pledge enables you to post a cookbook on the app and provide feedback for Cook Jinni, which will be featured and viewed by millions of subscribers. This is sure to increase your audience by giving you additional exposure.

"There are 200 million mobile app users in the US and 8 billion global cell phone users are projected by 2019," Ford says. "All of these people have to eat. So our target market is almost unlimited."
