      <title>Knee Defender Sales Soar Along with Other Gadgets Designed to Defend Yourself in Public</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p>Los Angeles, CA -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sbwire.com/">SBWIRE</a>) -- 09/05/2014 --  Knee Defender --If you want to find a knee defender, good luck, people were stocking up before the holiday.  The company said sales are soaring in spite of it being banned by many of America&apos;s largest airlines, as well as carriers such as the Australian firm Qantas. Peoplehave been very careful to hide their knee defenders when stewardesses comeby, but airlines strongly recommended checking their policy before boarding with such a device.<br />
<br />
It works so well, a number of passengershave been escorted off airplanes, one who was using it angered the woman in the seat in front of him so much, she threw a cup of water on him. Trigger-happy flight crew who seemed to have thoughts of 9-11 and pulled into the nearest airport to eject the two of them.   A rep for the airline pointed out, "Which would you rather have, cramped legs, or an extra &apos;leg&apos; on your trip?"<br />
<br />
Cell Phone Jammers -- Many states have banned talking on your cellphone while driving, but Florida is not one of them. So 60-year-old vigilante Jason R. Humphreys took matters into his own hands.<br />
<br />
As <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="The Tampa Tribune" href="http://tbo.com/news/business/fcc-seffner-man-was-using-cell-phone-jammer-20140429/">The Tampa Tribune</a> reports, Humphreys brought a cellphone jammer along on his commute every day for two years. He stated is purpose was to ensure that his fellow commuters remained focused on the road. Until two local sheriff&apos;s deputies caught him in the act and slapped him with $48,000 worth of fines, which he must pay or otherwise respond to within a month.  It apparently took Metro PCS and the FCC a year to figure out what kept shutting down all the signals along his stretch of the highway.<br />
<br />
Bullet Proof Briefcase – Another popular idea is a briefcase with bulletproof plates embedded in it. If a firefight breaks out on your way to the office from Starbucks, you&apos;ll be safe. Or, more specifically, a three-foot-long rectangular area will be safe. In the demonstration, however, in the video demonstration the rep was forced to choose whether he wanted to protect the head or his lower areas.<br />
<br />
Protection from Ebola – For many U.S. citizens, the fear of Ebola is matched only by the fear of looking stupid while wearing a mask in public. Using the masks as an outlet for artistic creativity has become one way to overcome this problem.<br />
<br />
The Electrified "No Contact" Jacket -- A fashionable new jacket is being marketed that will send 80,000 volts through anybody that touches your torso. Somehow, the manufacturers of "No Contact" say, according to a representative, "We have engineered this jacket so that it won&apos;t shock you if your own hand or face brushes the electrified sleeve during the struggle."Consumers are advised to investigate this claim carefully before purchase.<br />
<br />
Lastly, the "Cellphone Stun Gun" – starting to make sales around the globe.  Sales are brisk in spite of safety expert Shelly Pearson reminding us, "Say you&apos;re yapping away on your cell at the mall, when that burly guy with a surfboard asks you to please kindly shut the heck up. Little does he know, your &apos;phone&apos; is actually a 950,000 volt pacifier, your ex-wife is his current girlfriend, and &apos;you&apos; are actually a schizophrenic and a danger to society.  All real safety experts say even a well-meaning person is going to have with The Pretender cell phone stun gun. Or let&apos;s say a woman is driving at night, her real cell phone rings, she digs around in her purse and pulls out her &apos;phone&apos;.  Bzzzzzzrp!"<br />
<br />
Pearson concludes, "Let&apos;s hope that everyone beings to consider the actual safety factor of any safety device before buying!"<br />

      <title>Producer Edward Bass Announces a New Documentary About the Use of Beheadings as a Weapon of Terror</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p>Los Angeles, CA -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sbwire.com/">SBWIRE</a>) -- 08/25/2014 --  Producer Edward Bass announced he will direct a documentary about the recent history of journalist executions like James Foley by beheading. Bass says, "It was significant that they used a British citizen to do the deed, and not one of their own. This was meant to issue a warning to the West to stop bombing them and get out of the Near East. It was also designed for the purpose of recruiting more western nationals". He continues, "They are considered valuable because of their ease of movement without visas into and out of western countries. The UK Home Secretary, Theresa May, is forming new legislation to combat this new home grown terror threat.<br />
<br />
The fighter who appears to kill journalist James Foley had an English Accent, and is the latest in a string of international jihadis — Britons, Australians, Chechens, Chinese and Indonesians — to appear in propaganda for the Islamic State group. They want to give the appearance that they are everywhere to strengthen their image."<br />
<br />
Some of the historical information revealed in the documentary includes the fact the man who beheaded Daniel Pearl 10 years ago was himself killed in an air attack. Bass has also interviewed notable journalists who served in war-torn countries for their first-hand experiences. Other victims&apos; stories are revealed including Hadas Fogel, the youngest one at 3 months, who was a decapitated victim of Palestinian terrorists, and Yevgeny Rodionov beheaded by Chechens for refusing to convert to Islam.<br />
<br />
Bass is also interviewing noted authorities around the world for the documentary."They like to suggest they have a presence around the world much stronger than it is," says Charlie Cooper, a researcher at the Quilliam Foundation, a British counter-extremism think tank. "It does suggest that people all over the world are going off to fight in the tens of thousands."<br />
<br />
Expounding further, Bass says "10 years ago we saw the same thing happen to Daniel Pearl. His killer was himself killed in an air attack. Pearl was forced to denounce the policies of the West before he was killed. That time it had extra value because he was a Jew and an American. Hadas Fogel, the youngest one at 3 months, was a decapitated victim of Palestinian terrorists. Yevgeny Rodionov was beheaded by Chechens for refusing to convert to Islam." <br />
<br />
Bass concludes, "This is all not really new. It seems that ISIS is using terror and fear to control the people in the towns they conquer as did 100s of dictators in history. Who quickly comes to mind is Vlad the Impaler of Transylvania, who impaled hundreds of live victims on spikes. When an enemy approached, it is said, they turned back and retreated out of dire fear that the same thing would happen to them. He eventually was imprisoned and died in his small cell. It is said he even enjoyed killing the rats that came by to visit."<br />

      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">Why Director Edward Bass Considers Sir Alfred Hitchcock as a Legendary Filmmaker</p><p>Los Angeles, CA -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sbwire.com/">SBWIRE</a>) -- 08/21/2014 --  Edward Bass, a renowned name in Hollywood is a filmmaker, producer, writer and director whose films have been accepted into major film festivals.

      <title>"Mission Blue" - Netflix Documentary in Which Dr. Sylvia Earle Asks, "Do You Enjoy Breathing"</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">Producer Edward Bass reviews new hit Netflix documentary, “Mission Blue”</p><p>Los Angeles, CA -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sbwire.com/">SBWIRE</a>) -- 08/19/2014 --  You would presume that any documentary that is based on that question would be a heavy, perhaps thought provoking, but preachy ode.  Not "Mission Blue", the Netflix documentary produced by Fisher Stevens and Robert Nixon about superwoman Sylvia Earle and her quest to save us and our oceans.<br />
<br />
While most people are in the midst of, or at last planning their retirement, Dr. Sylvia Earle is (at 78) becoming a global phenomenon.  Dr. Earle and Fisher Stevens, director of Oscar-winning documentary, The Cove, have teamed up to create this phenomenal hit on Netflix which aired for the first time August 15 to solid critical and commercial acclaim.<br />
<br />
Dr. <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="Sylvia Earle" href="http://variety.com/t/sylvia-earle/">Sylvia Earle</a>&apos;s somewhat rhetorical question about breathing comes from 60 years of studying the ocean, and not in some dry, academic way.  She has been diving since she was 7 and holds the women&apos;s record for deep sea diving at 1250 feet.  The film explores her study of, and love affair with the ocean in a lyric, exquisitely visual, beautiful manner, along with the stunning idea that if the oceans die, so do we. <br />
<br />
In this visually intoxicating film which is out in Theaters as well as on Netflix, Earle points out Earth would not be hospitable for humans if it weren&apos;t for the ocean. "It&apos;s filled with living things that shape the chemistry of Earth," she says. "It&apos;s where we get most of our oxygen, from small organisms that make up the plankton in the sea. Of course trees and other green things have much to do with generating oxygen and taking up carbon dioxide—but there&apos;s no green without blue."<br />
<br />
Her cause has already earned the endorsement of the likes of <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="Leonardo DiCaprio" href="http://variety.com/t/leonardo-dicaprio/">Leonardo DiCaprio</a>, who has hosted screenings of the film, and calls Earle "an inspiration," noting that when they scuba dive together, he has trouble keeping up with the 78-year-old. Upon hearing this, Earle laughs. "I think that&apos;s an exaggeration," she says. "He does very well underwater."<br />
<br />
"Leonardo is more than a pretty face," she says with a laugh. "He&apos;s been a champion for the ocean and a champion for the world, in so many ways."<br />
<br />
Earle met DiCaprio four years ago on a trip to the Galapagos Islands, where she also met actor and filmmaker Fisher Stevens, an Oscar-winning producer on "The Cove." Stevens and Robert Nixon co-directed "Mission Blue", which highlights remarkable moments in Earle&apos;s career while also showing how the ocean has changed over the years due to issues like oil spills, overfishing and environmental changes. All the while it services Earle&apos;s mission, to create a network of protected marine sanctuaries she calls "hope spots."<br />
<br />
As a career retrospective, the film is fascinating. When she embarked on her in 1964 to study the Indian Ocean, one headline blared: "Sylvia Sails Away with 70 Men, But She Expects No Problem." As a personal story, it&apos;s equally intriguing—she details the collapse of three marriages and raising children as a working mother who would take off for expeditions across the world. But as a warning call to protect our planet, it&apos;s terrifying.<br />
<br />
"We&apos;ve done great damage to the fabric of life, especially in the ocean," she notes.<br />
<br />
The film is not all doom and gloom, however. The message is ultimately one of hope—that if we act now, change can be made. And the response has been very positive, with many audiences wanting to get involved. "People care. People want to know," Earle says. "And I want them to go jump in the ocean—in a positive way."<br />

      <title>Edward Bass Has Been Appointed to Create Splash Magazine's Top Ten Best Dressed List</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p>Los Angeles, CA -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sbwire.com/">SBWIRE</a>) -- 08/19/2014 --  Edward Bass has been appointed to decide on the Top 10 Best Dressed Women in the world for Splash Magazine, it was announced today. Bass is bi-coastal but has had residences in London, Paris, and Moscow, always in the company of the unusually talented in each city.<br />
<br />
Bass states, "Our list will be significantly different from the Vanity Fair list and candidates. Whereas most of the voters for that list rely on photographs, I have seen many of the world&apos;s top dressers in person, so I have a definitive advantage. Live meetings are always better so I can see the real person and who really wears it well".<br />
<br />
Bass has worked with over 30 of Hollywood&apos;s top actors and actresses, so his taste is well informed, albeit admittedly with a film industry slant. He remembers working on the movie BOBBY, with Sharon Stone, Demi Moore, Helen Hunt, Lindsay Lohan, and Heather Graham, "It was like an incredible fashion show each day when shooting was done for the day, and they would get ready to go out for the evening."  "This year I have been considering both stars who have recently re-invented themselves, such as Scarlett Johansson, who made a huge hit both onscreen and in her couture at the Venice and Toronto Film Festivals. And I must have at least one brilliant and beautiful woman such as AmalAlmuddin, George Clooney&apos;s future wife on my list," explains Bass.<br />
<br />
Splash Magazine has local editions in 21 ties including Amsterdam, Atlanta, Barcelona, Bangkok, Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Denver, Detroit, Hawaii, Las Vegas, London, Los Angeles, Miami, New York, Paris, San Diego, San Francisco, Tokyo, Toronto, and Washington D.C., with readership in Los Angeles alone at over 3 million per month. Their last list was garnered at The 64th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards in Los Angeles at which Nicole Kidman, Padma Lakshmi, and Sofia Vergara were some of the top picks.<br />

      <title>Documentary on Michael Jackson Estate by Edward Bass</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">Follow The Money – An Investigative Documentary with Footage on How the Estate Matters were Handled</p><p>Los Angeles, CA -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sbwire.com/">SBWIRE</a>) -- 08/11/2014 --  There have been new developments in the legal battle between the producers of "Michael Jackson: The Last Photoshoots", a documentary. As per the article that appeared on The New York Post last month "The executors in charge of the Michael Jackson estate will be investigated in a documentary, Follow the Money, which is being produced by Edward Bass, who is already in a legal battle with them." The documentary would focus on John Branca and John McClain, the attorneys of the Michael Jackson Estate ever since his death. <br />
<br />
According to The Post&apos;s journalist Richard Johnson, the attorneys have collected more than $20 million that had gone to Katherine, Jackson&apos;s mother and his three children. As per the report the estate had also spent $17 million on legal fees.<br />
<br />
"They don&apos;t mind spending millions of dollars on litigation, because they are paying themselves" Bass quoted in the article. "Somebody has to challenge them. We want to set a precedent here", added Bass. The report includes Estate Lawyer, Howard Weitzman&apos;s comments stating "private moments that Jackson never agreed could be publicly and commercial exploited" when the footage was shown and offered to the estate. The estate turned down the footage after 18 months of negotiations. <br />
<br />
Bass says "I think their intention was just to harass us and delay us from releasing it for the 5th anniversary of Michael&apos;s death, as we obviously own the rights. It&apos;s really a shame because when you see the film, you realize how heartbroken Michael would be if this were not released to the public."<br />
