Press Release Author: Santorini Hotel Mesotopos

Industry: Entertainment

Press Release Summary: When Athanassios Arvanitis killed and beheaded his girlfriend Adamantia Karkali in Santorini, Europe was shocked to learn of the grisly crime that rocked this peaceful island paradise in Greece. However it is still safe to travel to Santorini and other destinations in Greece, and one of the safest Santorini hotels is Hotel Mesotopos, which is located near Fira, the capital of the island.

Press Release Body: When Athanassios Arvanitis, a Greek citizen, killed and beheaded his girlfriend Adamantia Karkali and carried her head all around his village of Vourvoulos in Santorini, Europe was shocked to learn of the grisly crime that rocked what was known to be a peaceful island paradise in Greece.

It was a crime story that seemed more fitting as the plot of a Hollywood drama. It started when Arvanitis cut off the head of a dog that belonged to Karkali with a butcher’s knife at the balcony of their house. Arvanitis then chased after Karkali, stabbing her at the armpit and then beheading her.

Afterwards, the man paraded the head around his neighbourhood. What ensued was a long chase by the police, which left two women doctors and a tourist injured. The police shot Arvanitis five times before he could be subdued.

While Santorini residents are certain that this is the most violence that occurred in the island since the Second World War, reports say that this is neither the only nor the last criminal incident that happened in Greece during the peak of the tourist season. This brings to question whether it is still safe to travel to Santorini and other destinations in Greece.

Greek Tourism Minister Aris Spiliotopoulos assured the public that his ministry will take measures that will enhance the safety of all tourist resorts in Greece, including Santorini so as not to affect the country’s booming tourism industry.

Visitors are nonetheless advised to ensure their personal safety when travelling to Santorini and elsewhere in Greece. One of the best precautions that tourists can take when holidaying in Santorini is booking their accommodations at a hotel that is known not just for comfort and convenience but also for safety.

When choosing a holiday apartment or a hotel inFira, or a hotel anywhere in Santorini, visitors are enjoined to make certain that their accommodations are well guarded by qualified personnel, such as security guards or a doorman. Tourists are also advised to tell the receptionist in duty at their hotel of where they are going and when they are expected to return before they leave the hotel’s premises.

One of the safest Santorini hotels is Hotel Mesotopos, which is located near Fira, the capital of the island. In this hotel, guests are guaranteed to have the comfort and convenience that they expect from a premier tourist destination like Santorini. They are also assured that their stay there will be safe at all times.

Press Release Summary: Boots has launched its Christmas TV advert featuring the Sugababes hit single Girls

Press Release Body: Boots’ Christmas TV advert from 2007 won an industry Gold Award in The Campaign Magazine Big Awards. The company has now launched this year’s seasonal advert, and it features the Sugababes’ hit single ‘Girls’.

In 2007 the Boots TV advert gave real insight into the lengthy preparations women make when getting ready for that all-important Christmas party. The music that accompanied it was ‘Here Come the Girls’ by Ernie K Doe, originally a hit in the 1970s.

This year, Boots‘ new Christmas advert celebrates the art of choosing great gifts for your colleagues this season. The advert shows Boots knows that women want to get it right, finding the perfect present at a price they can afford.

Boots has teamed up with the Sugababes, the UK’s biggest girl band, for this year’s campaign. The advert features the trio’s recent single ‘Girls’, which includes a sample of ‘Here Come the Girls’ by Ernie K Doe. The Sugababes feel-good single has been selling fast in selected Boots stores across the nation, and Bootshas matched the 10p donation to the White Ribbon Alliance for every copy it has rung through its tills.

The theme of the song reflects the feminine traits highlighted in the advert. Set in an office, viewers will see women making lists, lovingly wrapping presents, and even offering themselves up as gifts in a bid to ensure they give the perfect ‘Secret Santa’ present.

Throughout the commercial viewers are given hints of items that would make ideal Christmas gifts for friends, family and colleagues this year. From beauty products for a bushy-browed boss who receives the ‘No7 Eye and Brow Kit‘ to a colleague who has a soft spot for cuddly toys who receives the ‘In the Night Garden Soft Friends Gift Pack’, the message is there is something for everyone. With a huge range of Christmas gifts for 2008 under £5 and many presents part of a three for two mix ‘n’ match offer at Boots this season, ‘Secret Santa’ has never been so easy.

The office scene was shot over a period of five days in a disused office block. There were 400 women on the site and only 50 men, but everyone had a go at wrapping their own ‘Secret Santa’ present. In keeping with the theme of their advert, this year more than 2800 staff at Boots UK’s Nottingham and Feltham support offices will be attempting to break the world record for the largest number of people involved in a ‘Secret Santa’ on one day.

Press Release Summary: A credit crunch beating month for one lucky player at 32Red online casino, with two large jackpot wins in just one month

Press Release Body: 32Red has announced that one of its players claimed a second large jackpot win from the same slot machine in under a month. The lucky player has taken home a total of £37,864.09 in just 17 days and becomes one of the online casino’s luckiest customers.

With a history of big winners, 32Red can demonstrate a series of large payouts that include a £1,094,112.81 win on Major Millions, which was one of the biggest payouts ever recorded at an online casino, and £1,000,641 on King Cashalot. Both of these wins came from one of 32Red’s 150+ slot machines and represent just two of twelve jackpot games available at 32Red, including Mega Moolah - the jackpot to which currently stands at over £4,500,000.

Remarkably, these latest jackpots all came from the same slot machine, Cash Splash. The casino reports the probability of this happening as very low, with Ed Ware, 32Red CEO, remarking “Although large jackpot wins are quite common at 32Red, the chances of the same player winning the jackpot from the same game twice in a month are both staggering and wonderful.”

The player from Dorset logged in as normal on the 9th October and loaded the Cash Splash progressiveonline slot game, triggering the jackpot of £22,949.09 shortly after. He then logged in again on the 26th October and won a further £14,915, making a total payout of £37,864.09 for him in October. Ware said, “This series of big wins couldn’t come at a better time too, with another winner at 32Red well and truly beating the credit crunch in October and lining up a very special Christmas”.

The Cash Splash progressive slot is available to play in two forms - as a 3 reel, single payline slot and a 5 reel, 15 payline machine. The jackpot is triggered by the game’s logo symbol falling across the reels on the selected payline. When this happens the displayed jackpot total within the game is the figure won by the player. This amount varies and is connected to how much the game is played, with a fraction added to the jackpot every time the reels are spun. After the player’s second win, the jackpot was reset and now stands at over £11,500, prompting Ware to ask, “Can this same player make it 3 wins in short succession? Either way it has to be his luckiest autumn and we wish him the best of luck in the future”.

About 32Red Plc:

Press Release Summary: Quantum of Solace: The new 007 James Bond: Even if the producers have James Bond wear an Omega in the new Bond film, star Daniel Craig wears a Rolex Submariner in tribute to the legacy of Ian Fleming and Sean Connery.

Press Release Body: Rolex: Quantum of Solace’s new 007 James Bond, Daniel Craigchooses to wear a Rolex Submariner 6358, even to interviews for the new Bond film. When playing James Bond in the film, however, Daniel Craig wears an Omega. Now what exactly is going on here?

With Quantum of Solace predicted to rake in over $60 million dollars on opening weekend, the producers of the new James Bond may not be worrying about the maverick approach of the new 007, Daniel Craig. Then again, maybe they should be listening to the wisdom of their chosen star and honor a great legacy.

This article, by John Lavitt, can be viewed in its entirety at the MJ Rolex Watch Blog:
http://www.melrosejewelers.com/rolex-watch-blog/daniel-craig-wears-a-rolex-to-honor-the-legacy-of-james-bond/

Why is Daniel Craig a maverick? Although James Bond wears an Omega in the new films, Daniel Craig chooses to go against the grain of his producers and wears a classic Rolex Submariner 6358 to his interviews and in his personal life. Since Ian Fleming wrote in the original novels that his character James Bond wears a Rolex and Sean Connery always wore a Rolex Submariner 6358 in the early classic films, Daniel Craig pays tribute to these cultural icons by wearing a Rolex. At a recent GQ photo shoot, the entire wardrobe was styled for Daniel Craig, except for one key element: “Watch by Rolex, Craig’s own.”

An example of a Rolex Submariner that has historically been used in James Bond films can be seen here: http://www.melrosejewelers.com/info/submariner_ss_black_388.htm

Even if Omega named their new watch after James Bond and was willing to pay a bundle for the product placement, maybe the producers should respect the awareness shown by their star of the true legacy and history of their character. Throughout his time as 007, Sean Connery was equipped with the Rolex Submariner, which has just celebrated its 50th anniversary this year, and Ian Fleming clearly chose Rolex as the watch worn by his creation. “Daniel Craig likes to tell a story about his watch. It is a Rolex Submariner 6358, an exact replica of the one he remembers Sean Connery wearing in Goldfinger.” (Empire Magazine). Now is the time for the producers of James Bond to follow the lead of their star and honor the legacy of Ian Fleming and Sean Connery — Give 007 back his Rolex

Press Release Summary: Rolex: Rapper Wiley wears a Rolex but who is wearing Tupac Shakur’s Rolex Day Date President or, for that matter, Kanye West’s Cartier, T.I.’s Omega, or any of P. Diddy’s luxury watches?

Press Release Body: Rolex: Who is wearing Rap Star Wiley’s Rolex? What about Tupac Shakur’s Rolex? Rap star Wiley is helping to make wearing Rolex watches popular again with his single “Wearing My Rolex” that is now #2 on the UK Singles Charts. The last rapper to make wearing a Rolex watch so popular was Tupac Shakur who wore a gold and diamond-encrusted Rolex Day Date President until the day he died. Rappers Jay-Z, T.I., Outkast, Nas, Snoop Dogg, and Kanye West have also been seen wearing Rolex President watches although Notorious B.I.G. wore a Two Tone Rolex Datejust (18k/SS).

To see this article in its entirety visit the MJ Rolex Watch Blog at:http://www.melrosejewelers.com/rolex-watch-blog/wiley-rolex-tupac-rolex/

In 1993 Tupac Shakur was shot in a robbery and what some feel to be an attempted murder by rivals Sean “Puffy” Combs a.k.a. P. Diddy and others affiliated with Bad Boy Records. Although the robbers stole $35,000 of diamond and gold jewelry, they left Tupac’s diamond-encrusted gold Rolex Day Date Presidential. Some feel this was out of respect for a man’s watch. Luxury watches have long been considered part of the 3-part American dream: owning a nice house, a nice car, and a luxury watch.

Wearing a Rolex is considered to be part of one’s manhood and thus taking away one’s manhood is considered to be unethical, even in the world of crime and murder. It is purported that, today, Tupac Shakur’s Rolex President has been officially retired and buried with his body as he would have wanted. A modern picture of Tupac’s Rolex Day Date President can be seen here:http://www.melrosejewelers.com/info/rolex_super_president_pave_dial_123.htm

So now that Tupac has passed away, who is Wiley and why is he “Wearing My Rolex”? He may be doing it just to follow in the footsteps of Tupac, Biggie, Jay-Z and other famous rappers because wearing a Rolex and rapping about it has almost become a symbol for music success. Credited as the Godfather of Grime music, Wiley has come a long way from his roots as a DJ. Described as “grime-meets-electro,” the single Wearing My Rolex was released under Asylum/Atlantic Records. Wiley has several projects lined up in 2009 alone, including another single entitled Summertime.

The idea came to mind as he wondered what would happen if Sudoku was freed from the square and became a visual experience. “When you look at a building’s blueprints, you must use creative thinking to connect these flat drawings into a three dimensional whole in your head – this was my model for buildingTredoku,” he explains. Amitzur’s only concern about the design constraints was to keep Sudoku rules. Since the new puzzle needed to appear “spatial” on a flat piece of paper, Amitzur had to search further to make his new game a real visual experience. “While studying in Milan, I went to many art exhibitions and sat in bookstores for hours”, he recalls. “M.C. Escher, the graphic artist with his impossible worlds had influenced theTredoku design, as well as artist Bridget Riley of the Op-Art movement, who made amazing paintings that ‘pop out’ of the flat canvas.”

Besides infinite possible forms,Tredoku incorporates creative thinking; the use of both the logical (left) and dimensional (right) sides of the brain. The bent form is a visual challenge that makes the game more fun to play.

When tested, Tredoku generated enthusiastic responses worldwide. Top mathematicians praise it, while fans from over 70 countries claim thatTredoku is a “truly stimulating and challenging mind game.”
