The player’s best time is displayed to encourage them to play again to beat their score and players are invited to create their own league and pass the game on to their friends to try to beat their score. The game interface will include links to the LV website providing players with easy access to LV= product information and LVinsurance quotes. Players can also enter their details into a prize draw for the chance to Win Wii consoles and Wii Fits or one of five £50 Highstreet vouchers.

Joanna Lidgey, eCommerce Executive at LV= said of the campaign, “Our aim is to help our members and customers to look after what they love in life. With this email newsletter we’re reinforcing that aim with our members, whilst also giving them value-added information that’s relevant and interesting, all tied up in a Christmas greeting format.

“The added bonus is the viral game which is a fun and engaging way to help generate further awareness for LV= and our products, to engage with prospective customers, and collect data on them for future campaigns.”

Tracesmart Recently Assisted A Remarkable Trace Involving A Son From Colwyn Bay In Search Of His Long Lost Dad

Michael Taylor had never met his father, David, until they were reunited for the first time last week. The father and son met each other on Michael’s 25th birthday, making the occasion even more special. Michael initially contacted Tracesmart in response to the company’s Missing Person Campaign which has been running since March, and has helped to reunite many other families in time for Christmas.

The campaign has seen a mixture of family circumstances; all involving people looking to find relatives, many with no idea of how to perform an electoral roll search. Tracesmart has a dedicated team of researchers, each working individually on a search, providing excellent support for those hoping to find relatives. Michael had thought about searching for his father for many years, and especially since he recently became a father himself. He had never attempted a people search before and was unaware how to find relatives using the internet, but he was able to provide enough information to the researcher, who in turn found a positive match instantly through Tracesmart’s simple to use people search. Mr Dibben confirmed his details with the researcher, and was overjoyed to hear that Michael was trying to find him. The reunion was made even more extraordinary as Michael and David were found to be living in the same town, only two miles apart! Michael commented “I’m still in shock, I’ve been walking around town all these years, and my Dad may have passed by many times. We now meet up regularly and are planning to spend out first Christmas together, which is going to be fantastic.”

Tracesmart aims to raise awareness of how easy it can be to be reunited with a missing person, and hope that new visitors will log on and try for themselves. Many will be missing a family member or friend this Christmas, which, in a large number of cases can be avoided through an instant people search or address search to check the details are up to date.

“We at Tracesmart are delighted to have helped Michael, and to be involved in reuniting many other families and friends, and especially at this time of year, when Christmas celebrations will highlight the importance of finding those who are missing. We hope to assist even more visitors to find relatives this year and hopefully make this festive season extra special,” added Owen Roberts, Tracesmart’s Communications Manager.

Rolex Day Date President:

Introduced at the Basel Fair in 1956, the Rolex Day-Date President became one of the flagship models of Rolex. Customers appreciated this watch for its uniqueness in showing both the date and the day on the dial unlike previous models. Today, the day is spelled out in 26 different languages, which greatly increased the overall market for this watch. Read the full article at:
http://www.melrosejewelers.co.uk/con…

Rolex Oyster Perpetual Datejust:

The Rolex Oyster Perpetual Datejust always has been an extremely popular model amongst Rolex enthusiasts. In fact, it is one of Rolex’s flagship models. Introduced in 1945, this watch carried a great deal of significance as it was launched by Rolex to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the founding of Wilsdorf & Davis. It was one of the first Rolex models to carry a date display on its dial through an aperture at the 3 o’clock position. The movement used in this model functioned accurately during the date change, which was triggered using stored energy. Read the full article at: http://www.melrosejewelers.co.uk/conte…

The Rolex Submariner, featuring a uni-directional elapse time bezel, has been known for its great performance and supreme endurance at extreme temperatures and even in the ocean depths. It falls under the Rolex Oyster Perpetual Professional Line. Introduced officially at the Basel Spring Watch Fair in 1954, it has thrived in the market for over 50 years. Read the full article at:
http://www.melrosejewelers.co.uk/content/rolex_education_rolex_submariner_quick_review.htm

Rolex Daytona:

The Rolex Cosmograph Daytona is a chronograph that performs an additional function as a stopwatch. This model has a separate second hand, which can be started, stopped and reset to zero with the help of push buttons on the side of the case. Considered one of the most popular Rolex sport models, the Rolex Cosmograph “Daytona” is truly exceptional. The term “Cosmograph” was coined by Rolex when it decided to come out with an improved version of its earlier line of chronograph watches. Read the full article at:
http://www.melrosejewelers.co.uk/content/rolex_education_rolex_cosmograph_daytona.htm

Rolex Identification

The Rolex counterfeit (Rolex replica) industry is growing at an ever-increasing pace. This criminal expansion poses a real threat to Rolex because it adversely affects the market for genuine Rolex watches. Counterfeit Rolex watches also cloud the enthusiasm and faith of Rolex enthusiasts around the world. Such negativity is especially true in the case of high-end fakes, which are sold as genuine Rolex watches. Although these counterfeits may appear similar from a distance, they can in no way match a genuine Rolex in terms of functionality, performance and precision. Read the full article at:
http://www.melrosejewelers.co.uk/content/rolex_education_genuine_vs_fake.htm

Tracesmart Aim To Make IOD Fraud A Thing Of The Past

Making a concerted effort to stamp out Impersonation of the Deceased (IOD) fraud, Tracesmart, leading suppliers of identity verification tools, have this week launched Existence – a new suite of services with the potential to eliminate IOD fraud.

IOD is a form of identity fraud – it is estimated by the Home Office Identity Fraud Steering Committee, that identity fraud costs the UK economy £1.7 billion annually. Whilst IOD fraud has historically been hard to tackle due to the lack of death records being made available, recent changes in legislation have allowed the UK General Register Offices (GRO) to release death registration information (DRI) to commercial bodies with the aim of preventing fraud. It is this move that has enabled Tracesmart to develop their suite of services which will tackle IOD fraud head on.

Combining in-depth mortality screening and residency verification, the service allows users to ascertain whether an individual is alive and if they reside at their given address. Paul Weathersby, Technical Director at Tracesmart, commented on the data which drives these checks.

“The mortality screening element of our Existence services draws upon the GRO’s DRI data and the residency verifier calls upon a variety of consumer datasets including historic Electoral Rolls, leading gone away files and BT OSIS amongst others. The combination of these checks allows us to confidently identify deceased individuals and gone aways.”

The Existence suite comprises three services with which clients can conduct existence checks. Existence Search is an online facility which can be used to conduct single ad-hoc checks; Existence Batch is a batch screening service where multiple persons can be verified and the third, and possibly most significant service, is Existence Alert – an early warning system that notifies users of mortalities at the earliest possible opportunity.

Tracesmart has long provided tools for conducting identity checks and has a strong history in the field of fraud prevention. The combination of this experience and access to DRI will enable the Existence services to effectively help put an end to IOD fraud. Mike Trezise, Managing Director at Tracesmart, has already seen a high volume of interest in the product.

“Prior to launch we approached several key clients in the pension and financial sectors to gauge market interest in the product. As we suspected, the demand is most certainly there and we already have prominent pensions administrators and large schemes utilising the system to replace certificate of existence exercises, and many in the financial sector are employing it as part of their know your customer checks. Preventing IOD fraud will save businesses considerable amounts of money and protect consumers from both fiscal and emotional harm.”

Tracesmart Continues To Expand Technical Team

November signals the beginning of a new career for some, as Tracesmart announce further expansion of their IT workforce. The technical department, based at their waterfront headquarters in Cardiff Bay, has recruited three new team members as a result of escalating workloads arising from increased demand for their people and name search services.

Tracesmart has continued to invest heavily in their product range following the acquisition of the 2008 Electoral Roll in April, and visitors to the site can now access close to 300 million records. These enhancements have been a resounding success as the website has seen a sharp increase in visitors – prompting the company to expand their technical team. The IT department has recruited two web developers and a software analyst; the primary role of the web developers will be to improve and expand the range of services on offer and assist in the maintenance of existing tracing services; the software analyst will work on the planning and production of specifications for all new products, developing bespoke product ideas for their ever expanding portfolio.

The team is headed by Technical Director, Paul Weathersby, who as well as producing and developing Tracesmart‘s flagship people search facility, has established a committed and extremely competent IT department. Weathersby comments, “We are growing as a company and experiencing an influx of new customers, so we need more IT staff to maintain our high level of service. We are always looking for new ways to enhance our customers experience through value added services that complement our existing product range and to facilitate this it is necessary to expand our technical team.”

Further to developing consumer services, the new recruits will also be working on Tracesmart‘s corporate service suite. The new employees are part of a recruitment drive that has already seen the company double in size in the recent months, with numerous departments continuing to expand their workforce to handle the ever increasing demand for their services.

The growth of the company has been endorsed by Tracesmart’s Managing Director, Michael Trezise, who comments; “The rapid rate of recruitment throughout the last year can be attributed to the continued growth of our key products and services, and heightened media interest. Tracesmart continues to be the leading suppliers of tracing services to consumers and businesses alike; from customers needing a simple address search or a missing person search, to large financial institutions requiring assistance with data cleansing or asset reunification projects; the range of services we provide are endless.”

Correct in-text contextual linked words via LinkedWords’ contextual platform help small to mid level sites gain web visibility and attract truly targeted traffic

Launched back in the middle of 2006 LinkedWords has essentially proven over the past years to be very effective vehicle in helping web sites get contextually linked on a content area level so that Internet users and smart robots discover their information in context. Since then the contextual platform has rapidly grown from 30,000 uniques per month back in its early days during 2006 to over 1 million unique visitors per month these past months of 2008.

The successful formula seems to be simple yet very effective: the higher the number of small to mid level sites’ content areas contextually linked in LW’s platform – the higher the number of contextually targeted unique visitors shared among those web sites linked in.

The results: More than 4.5 million contextually targeted unique visitors have effectively been shared among the web sites contextually linked in during the entire 2007. This year the figures seem even better and the site is currently on track to surpass the 10M uniques mark for the entire 2008. Small to mid level sites are really benefiting from having their web sites, pages and content areas contextually linked in LinkedWords’ massive contextual platform built upon 38 Million English words, phrases and whole sentences organized into semantic structures from contextual paths to deep meaningful categories.

2)
It also helps contextually connected web sites through LW drive precisely targeted traffic among themselves by connecting content areas with the same context around Web anytime other sites link to the same words/phrases at LW from within the same or highly relevant context;
3)
It guides software agents and algorithmic robots discover (your) information in context.

The last, but not the least, LW is all about contextual information therefore to assure best results make sure 1) the context of your page, in which you make your linked words, matches the contextual path to the words/phrases you make the contextual links to at LW’s platform, and 2) you link only words/phrases that grammatically belong to and are organically found within sentences inside your text and these linked words are surrounded by meaningful content otherwise no contextual connections can be created, which yields no results and is ground for deletion. Proper contextual paths/categories and in-text linked words yield better contextual results. If no words or phrases are found for your specific content, or they are not in the right contextual paths/categories, you can always create your own words and phrases in the most appropriate paths/categories to match your page’s context.

Online People Search Provider Improves Customer Service Following OSIS License

Tracesmart, a major leader in online electoral roll search facilities, announced they have been granted the licence to hold the directory enquires database in house and have fully integrated it into their services. The database, also known as OSIS, has already been incorporated into their online people search facility and is housed within their secure data centre. The list contains all listed telephone numbers in the UK and will improve the speed at which people can obtain telephone numbers for a missing person such as a lost friends or relatives.

Previously British Telecomm was the only organisation to hold a database of phone listings, with the exception of other licensed phone operators. This meant that many residential numbers were being left out, and as a result it was decided that changes were needed. In 1999 a subdivision of BT, The Directory Solutions Unit (DSU) was set up as an independent body to oversee the collection of listings from numerous sources including BT, cable companies and mobile phone providers. To date the DSU oversee OSIS and provide database licence holders a daily file update of between 30,000-100,000 new, deleted or amended records.

This daily update of OSIS information means that the Tracesmart system will have improved performance – as such telephone listings offered to Tracesmart’s customers carrying out an address search will be guaranteed. Paul Weathersby, Tracesmart’s Technical Director commented, ‘Following an in-depth security audit, which ensured our systems were strong and secure enough to hold this type of data, we are delighted to now be granted direct access to the OSIS data.’

Obtaining accurate telephone numbers when carrying out a people search is an essential tool that allows for instant communication with lost friends or relatives – therefore the OSIS data offers Tracesmart’s customers better value for money as they won’t have to waste time or money using outdated contact details.

Increasing performance is a key part of Tracesmart’s commitment to its customer base as Mike Trezise, Managing Director of Tracesmart, commented, ‘I know firsthand how utilising accurate data is paramount for successfully finding people and as such Tracesmart constantly aims to supply its customers with accurate, instantly accessible data in order to ensure they get the results they need when trying to find relatives find relatives or friends. As a company we are committed to constantly upgrading and improving our service offerings and new data acquisition is a key part of this process.’

Take11 provides a web service for online cataloging of videos and dvds

Every technology has limitations and drawbacks. In the case of home entertainment systems, a drawback is the need to organize and manage a collection of videos and dvds. Even when many videos are borrowed, rather than owned, we’d like to be able to track what we’ve seen, make a wish list, assign our own ratings, and create notes about particular movies. Ever stand in a video store with dvd in hand and wonder whether you already own that particular title?

The solution is a system for cataloging—but the system must be easy to use; that is, it must take advantage of what we already know. Software developers Mitch and Jim Haileare creating such a system—a web site called Take11.com where users can catalog their video collections.

Take11 is a web service: there is no software to buy, download, or update. Anyone who can use a web browser can use Take11. If you have a web-enabled mobile phone, you can access Take11 remotely, such as from your local dvd store. To add to your collection, you input just three or four key terms, and Take11 will fill in many details: actors, director, studio, running time—even a cover image. You can then add your own tags, comments, and ratings. As the number of Take11 users grows, so will its database, and this will allow users to explore other collections and search for little known gems from the film industry.

Take11 has just been released for public beta-testing: the developers need users who will explore the site, test features, and give constructive feedback. Anyone who regularly watches videos at home should give Take11 a look.

About the Developers
Mitch Haile earned a degree in computer science from The College of Wooster. He has been employed by Motorola and several Silicon Valley startups. Currently he is a freelance software engineer based in Boston.

Jim Haile earned an engineering degree from Vanderbilt and a PhD in engineering from the University of Florida.
