			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>CASABLANCA, Morocco &#8211; Wednesday, January 25th 2012 [ME NewsWire]</p>
<p>The cone-shaped acrylic aquarium at luxury Moroccan mall is the world’s first and largest acrylic structure of its type, designed and manufactured by ICM and Reynolds Polymer Technology, Inc.</p>
<p>(BUSINESS WIRE)&#8211; The world’s first and largest cone-shaped aquarium with an inner glass aquarium elevator debuted at the new Morocco Mall in Casablanca. Aquadream, the 9.3 meter tall acrylic aquarium designed and built by International Concept Management, Inc. (ICM), is the centerpiece of the luxury giga-mall along Morocco’s coast.</p>
<p>ICM designed the acrylic aquarium as an engaging experience focusing on the importance of preserving the world’s oceans. To accomplish this, the one million liter acrylic aquarium &#8211; more than 1,000 metric tons of saltwater – resembles an upside-down cone that immerses guests for five minutes into the ocean from within a glass elevator traveling in an inner acrylic cylinder in center of the tank.</p>
<p>“Aquadream presented challenges in the complexity of the design,” explained Roger R. Reynolds III, CEO of ICM and acrylic manufacturer Reynolds Polymer Technology, Inc. (RPT), “but with our collective expertise working on the AquaDom cylindrical aquarium in Berlin, we successfully designed and built this acrylic aquarium to fulfill the vision of the project while maintaining our strict safety standards.”</p>
<p>ICM also managed the aquarium installation in its entirety, including designing the coral reef to be accurate, functional, and safe; selecting aquatic animals that cohabitate; and designing the lighting, filtration systems, and control panels for the aquarium with fail safes to keep everything running safely at minimal levels until the full system can be restored. Additionally, the backwash recovery system recycles aquarium water, generating significant operational savings.</p>
<p>RPT assisted ICM with engineering, manufacturing, and assembly of the acrylic panels. Transportation restrictions required RPT to build the cone in seven sections which were then bonded together once on-site, while sister company RPT Asia, Ltd. supplied the inner cylinder for the elevator.</p>
<p>The exterior of the cone-shaped aquarium is 12.1 meters in diameter at the bottom of the cone and 13.4 meters in diameter at the top, with acrylic panels 7.8 meters tall and 12cm thick. The inner cylinder is 3.4 meters in diameter and 10cm thick.</p>
<p>About ICM</p>
<p>International Concept Management, Inc. is a design/build firm that creates custom aquariums, water features, and themed environments that inspire, educate, and entertain visitors. ICM is recognized around the world for their daring designs and creativity that pushes the limits of exhibit designs. ICM is headquartered in Grand Junction, Colorado with operations around the world.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>U.S. Salad Franchise to Open 15 Stores in Singapore</p>
<p dir="ltr"><em>CONSHOHOCKEN, Pa. &#8211; Thursday, December 15th 2011</em><a href="http://www.me-newswire.net/"> [ME NewsWire]</a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>(<a href="http://www.businesswire.com/">BUSINESS WIRE</a>)&#8211; Saladworks, the first and largest fresh-salad franchise in the United States is going global.</p>
<p>A household name in the Philadelphia region for the last 25 years, Saladworks grew steadily along the East Coast. After insurmountable local success, Saladworks has spent the last few years introducing its chopped fresh daily fare to new markets across the country. Now, with 100 locations in 12 states, Saladworks has franchise agreements signed for five new U.S. markets, including Louisiana, Washington, South Carolina, Texas and Washington, D.C. The company is on track to open more than 20 new locations in 2012.</p>
<p>After years of preparation, strategic business planning and support-staff enhancement, Saladworks is ready to bring made-to-order salads to Singapore. The agreement with Amos Lee of Singapore outlines a 15-store development with the first restaurant to be opened in 2012 and two more in 2013.</p>
<p>“We were the first to introduce the fresh-salad franchise concept to the U.S. market and have been perfecting our brand for a quarter century,” said John Scardapane, chairman/CEO of Saladworks. “We feel that we’re in a solid position for international growth; we’re excited to start that growth within Singapore.”</p>
<p>Singapore was strategically chosen as the first of several international endeavors. The Singaporean government has worked fiercely over the last decade to position itself as a regional franchise hub. Singapore boasts a pro-business climate, geographical accessibility, strong technological infrastructure and budding population with English as the primary language. This, in addition to the success of other American based franchises and a general desire for healthy eating, has made Singapore a key component in the international expansion plans for Saladworks.</p>
<p>“Singapore is rich in diverse culture and because of this, the people are open to many foods and tastes,” said Paul Steck, president of Saladworks. “But, one thing I learned is that they don’t compromise on quality, and neither does Saladworks. Our Singapore stores will be right in line with in a culture that holds the same belief in freshness, quality and service.” Steck recently spent extensive time in Singapore with studying the consumer and business culture. The company will ensure that its Singaporean customers will receive the same fresh products as customers in the U.S.</p>
<p>Saladworks plans to replicate its United States success internationally. Currently discussing expansion plans in both the United Kingdom and Middle East, Saladworks looks forward to serving “fanatic’ly fresh fare” to consumers across the globe. “It doesn’t stop here. We’ve got the tools and the drive to grow in other countries,” said Scardapane. “This is only the first step; we’re ready to take this model and use it everywhere.”</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Dubai, United Arab Emirates, December 13, 2011: To celebrate the launch of Sunset Mall, Dubai Investment Properties today announced that it is all set to host a 7-days long Sandcastle event. The fun event starts on 15th December, 2011, which is also the scheduled date for mall opening. Internationally acclaimed and multi- award winning Sand-sculptor Jenny Rossen has been roped in to showcase her meticulous talent of building dreamlike sandcastles inside the mall. The event has an interesting lineup of free sandcastle workshops for all the visitors and storytelling sessions for kids.</p>
<p>The chance to spend time building sandcastles and open up a world of make-believe is something most people can only do on days out to the beach. But, for Jenny Rossen, a western-Australian born artist and founder of Jenny the Sandcastle Girl. “It&#8217;s a passion that grew into something very lucrative”- quips Jenny.  One Sand castle led to another and it was not long before Jenny was getting her hands sandy and making walls, moats, bridges, and of course castles all over the world. “It is so much fun being a sand-sculptor; all you need is sand, water, magic and a little imagination”- said Jenny.</p>
<p>On exhibiting her talent at the inauguration of Sunset Mall, Jenny said-“Every sand castle is different, every sculpture unique. I am really looking forward to making the Castle for Sunset Mall, it will be a huge display, set by the window, made with just sand and water. I am going to weave in little lights to create the fairytale effect of tiny little people living inside.”</p>
<p>“Quite simply I make sand castles and teach children and families how to play in sand. Or should I say I remind people how to play with the sand,” said Jenny.  “No matter what religion, class or nationality the simple joy of building sand castles crosses all boundaries.” </p>
<p>With the marvel of her unbelievable feat of artistry and engineering, Jenny will also be running sand castle workshops for all the visitors on the 15th 16th and 17thof December, 6pm to 10 pm. The participants will be taught the technique of making turrets out of sand. The best made turrets can even be a part of the main sculpture.<br />
There will also be story telling sessions for children on the 18th 19th 20th and 21st of December from 4.30-5.30 pm. These will also include fun play activities for the little ones.</p>
<p>Speaking on the event, Mr. Deepak Chawla, Operations Manager at DIP said, -“We all are really excited and geared up for the launch of the mall and eagerly looking forward to the sandcastle event. See you all at Sunset Mall!!”</p>
