Designer Aslam Hussein did not require any introduction among the fashion buffs. Aslam has nurtured a unique and incomparable style of his own and combined this with a contemporary flair to create and select stunning outfits. He has an intrinsic eye for fashion and all things beautiful. He has also made a name in the competitive world of haute couture.

Aslam is renowned among the fashion circles for creating and introducing couture that speaks straight to our hearts and has the magical power to effortlessly transform you to look your best. He makes you feel like you have just stepped out of a Bollywood motion picture- filled with glamour, confidence and sensuality.

His early entrance into the world of fashion began at his family-owned tailoring and textile shop, “Geebees and Kaleels” on Perakumba Street in Kurunegala. At the young age of 16, Aslam would spend hours at the shop, learning how to sew and using his imagination to create unique designs. The youngest in a family of eight, the fashion conscious Aslam would always be immaculately dressed, spending time on perfecting his look.

“My family realized that I had a knack for designing and style and endorsed my entry into the fashion industry. I acquired a wealth of knowledge in the fields of visual merchandising, fashion designing and business management,” said Aslam Hussein, the Managing Director of Geebees Clothing.

Aslam pursued his passion for fashion by establishing Geebees Clothing in 2003, a flagship department store that offers a vibrant selection of handpicked clothes and accessories that are specially designed to suit the fashion conscious men and women of Sri Lanka.

“Geebees is a complete department store that sells exquisite, one of the kind Indian Saris, designer bridal-wear, bridal rutines, intricately worked Salwars and Kurtas, formal and casual clothing for men and women, kiddy clothing, handbags, shoes and accessories that helps complete your total look.

There are casual tops and skirts with ethnic and floral motifs, shimmering saris in brilliant colors like vibrant blues, reds, pink and flaming reds heavily worked with gold, silver and bronze Zardosi. There are sequins and beads to stylish Sherwanis and kurtas for men, elegant handbags, beautiful jewelry and fashionable shoes that make you feel like royalty.

Geebees Clothing caters to a range of diverse clients from diverse backgrounds thus the prices are marked to suit the customer’s budget.

His family also owns several garment factories that manufacture shirts under the labels Ebony, Vantage and Flash; formal and casual trousers under the labels free man, lorah, sep-eleven and mark Alfred. The casual t-shirts under the label of edge are sold at leading retail clothing outlets island wide.

Aslam who often travels to India, Hong Kong, Bangkok, Singapore and Dubai, puts his ability to design to good use by creating exquisite saris with innovative designs and colors, stylish shirts and men’s shoes that accentuate one’s beauty and personality.

He added “Being a part of the local fashion industry has been my dream, I love every moment of it. I get to design my own clothes, meet new people and choreograph and produce my own shows.”

Aslam has presented and choreographed numerous fashion shows at the Hilton Colombo and Ceylon Intercontinental, showcasing designs and creations that spell elegance and cotemporary beauty every step of the way.

“My wife is my strength; she understands me, stands by me through thick and thin and supports my every endeavor. She takes care of the kids’ needs and mine. I have three beautiful children, 2 daughters and a son who also support me and encourage me. I’m very proud of my children and thankful to god for giving me this wonderful family” he said filled with emotion. The glitz, the glamour and the constant traveling are no obstacle for Aslam who loves spending time with his family whenever he is free and never misses those special moments in their life.

Review of Samsung Galaxy S5 Phone – 2014

Review of Samsung Galaxy S5 Phone – 2014

0

Samsung, the Korean Electronics company, had released their latest, most anticipated phone product, Samsung Galaxy S5, for the world to see on April 11, 2014. They’ve placed a precise emphasis on an improved quality on the body, dust and water resistance and a more sophisticated user experience. There’s also new security features such as a fingerprint reader with a private mode, a heart rate monitor, and if that wasn’t enough, they updated the camera plus features.

The Samsung Galaxy S5 uses a higher quality soft plastic and is said to improve your hand grip. It is certified for dust resistance and with water resistance in up to 3.3 feet of water for up to 30 minutes. The S5 screen display size is a 5.1 inch – which is slightly larger than the S4. It allows for automatic brightness and gamut adjustments. The S5’s micro-USB 3.0 port also now uses a removable cover.

Now for those of you who love taking pictures on your phone, you will love the Samsung S5 Camera and their features. It includes a 16 megapixel rear-facing camera, offering a 4K of video recording, and a 0.3 second phase detection autofocus. There’s a real time HDR photo and video and an impressive image sensor with Samsung‘s “Isocell technology which isolates the individual pixels inside the sensor to improve its ability to capture light.” On the rear of the S5 device is the heart rate sensor, located right next to the camera’s flash.

The Download Booster tool allows large downloads to be split across LTE and WiFi to improve speed. Also a neat feature on the S5 phone is this Private Mode which allows users to sustain hidden apps and file folders that cannot gain access to without additional verification.

With its software containing an Ultra Power Saving mode to supplement an extended battery life when enabled, all non-essential processes are limited and the screen switches to only rendering in white on black. Samsung claims that with Ultra Power Saving on, the S5 phone with 10% charge remaining can last for an additional 24 hours in standby mode.

The Samsung has gotten mixed reviews about the S5 mobile, saying that it’s not an accurate advancement of the previous model neither does it contain adequate or substantial changes for current Galaxy S4 owners. However the S5 received mostly positive reviews for “improvements on the image quality provided by its Isocell image sensor.”
World Liberty TV had the pleasure of reviewing the Samsung Galaxy S5 Phone. They liked it so much that they made it the official phone for WLTV.

TTPM, a consumer website publishing reviews, videos, and live price updates for toys, baby gear, kids electronics, sporting goods and pet toys, today announced the toy trends for summer 2014 and predicted an improved outlook for summer toy sales over 2013 during an industry press conference.

“Summer 2014 is promising for the toy industry. Blockbuster movies drive significant consumer interest, and we expect this year’s strong summer movie lineup will grow sales $500 million compared to the same time period in 2013,” said Jim Silver, CEO/editor-in-chief of TTPM. “After lackluster spring sales in 2013, the combination of popular movies and favorable weather is key for manufacturers and retailers to increase revenue during spring and summer.”

Held during the annual TTPM Spring Showcase, a one-day media event highlighting the season’s best in play, the press conference addressed the current state of the toy industry and revealed the 2014 TTPM Summer Play List, a round-up of the top toys chosen by TTPM editors to be the most fun and engaging items for children and their families this season.

“Over the past several seasons, we’ve seen a boom in classic toys—particularly in summer. When kids aren’t studying, they are outdoors and more able to engage in self-directed play, they naturally gravitate to time-tested classics like bubbles, chalk, ride-ons, water blasters and much more,” said Chris Byrne, content director aka The Toy Guy®. “Savvy toymakers have continued to innovate in these basic categories, provide diverse and imagination-rich products for kids and outstanding value for families.”

Recognized as a leading resource by consumers, the TTPM editorial team identified three key summer 2014 toy trends:

    A BIGGER BLOCKBUSTER MOVIE LINE-UP

    Compared with last year, the big screen will make a big impact this summer. The four key movie properties expected to increase sales in the toy aisle this season, as predicted by TTPM, are Transformers: Age of Extinction, Disney Planes: Fire and Rescue, Godzilla, and The Amazing Spider-Man 2.

    INNOVATIVE OUTDOOR TOYS

    As the weather warms up, families reach for summer staples including bubbles, water blasters, chalk, scooters, and more. Manufacturers will introduce a variety of updated summer classics to encourage outdoor play for kids and are expected to be popular choices for parents looking to get their children outside and active.

    BREAKOUT HITS

    Several recently released toy lines are expected to heat up in the summer months. Even more popular than when they launched in 2013, TTPM named Disney’s Frozen and Minecraft the hottest two entertainment properties, stating both toy lines have been selling out at retail. The Lego Movie, an early surprise hit, also remains a ‘must have’ for the season. Consumers have been anticipating the release of Paw Patrol toys, based on the breakout animated series and expected to be hugely popular when they hit store shelves in June. The team also included The Happy’s, an introduction from Cepia, the makers of Zhu Zhu pets, to the list, advising parents and retailers to keep an eye on the new collection.

Informed by the season’s trends and selected by the TTPM editorial team, the 2014 TTPM Summer Play List is curated annually to help parents and gift givers discover the best new toys and children’s products hitting store shelves.

At the press conference, Silver also announced that the Shop for Kids by TTPM app is now optimized for iPad through a universal update. The app simplifies the experience of searching for and buying children’s products and provides access to the extensive TTPM database of thousands of in-depth expert reviews on the latest toys, baby gear, pet toys, sporting goods, children’s books, video games, and apps.

Exclusive interview with Peter Lyon Chairman World Car Awards -2014

At a press conference hosted by the New York International Auto Show and Bridgestone Corporation, the Audi A3 was declared the 2014 World Car of the Year.

Audi is no stranger to our World Car Awards program – now in its 10th year.   Audi has now won a total of seven times, having previously collected the inaugural 2005 World Car of the Year title, three World Performance Car titles in 2010, 2008 and 2007, and two World Car Design of the Year titles in 2008 and 2007.

The Audi A3 was chosen from an initial entry list of twenty-four vehicles from all over the world, then a short list of twelve, then three finalists:  The BMW 4 Series, the Mazda 3 and the Audi A3.

Rupert Stadler, Chairman of the Board of Management of AUDI AG, said: “The Audi A6 was the first ever winner of this award and we are delighted that the Audi A3 has repeated that achievement by being voted 2014 World Car of the Year.  The Audi A3 showcases Audi’s technical competence in all aspects of carmaking, not least in the areas of lightweight technology, drivetrain, mobile infotainment and driver assistance systems.  This major award win is an achievement that the whole company can celebrate”.

The World Car Awards jurors observed that, “It might borrow styling hints from its bigger brothers, but the A3 still offers classic, chiseled contours and even better interior trim levels. With a superb choice of engines and 4 body styles, the A3 range packs a hefty premium punch in the small luxury segment. Audi should be complimented for making this A3 ride like no other A3. All the old shimmer over rough surfaces has gone, replaced by a silky smooth ride that approaches limousine quality”.

To be eligible for the overall World Car award, the candidates must become available for sale on at least two continents during the period beginning January 1, 2013 and ending May 31, 2014.

Vehicles are selected and voted on by an international jury panel comprised of sixty-nine top-level automotive journalists from twenty-two countries around the world.  Each juror was appointed by the World Car Steering Committee on the basis of his or her expertise, experience, credibility, and influence.  Each juror typically drives and evaluates new vehicles on a regular basis as part of their professional work.   Through their respective outlets they collectively reach an audience of many millions world-wide. 

Previous World Car of the Year winners are the Volkswagen Golf, the Volkswagen Up! in 2012, the Nissan Leaf in 2011, the Volkswagen Polo in 2010, Volkswagen Golf in 2009, the Mazda2 / Mazda Demio in 2008, the Lexus LS460 in 2007, the BMW 3-Series in 2006, and the Audi A6 in 2005.

About the World Car Awards

Now in their tenth year, the annual World Car Awards are now the number one awards program in the world based on Prime Research’s 2013 report.  The awards were inaugurated in 2003, and officially launched in January 2004, to reflect the reality of the global marketplace, as well as to recognize and reward automotive excellence on an international scale.   The awards are intended to complement, not compete, with existing national and regional Car of the Year programs.

The awards are administered by a non-profit association, under the guidance of a Steering Committee of pre-eminent automotive journalists from Asia, Europe, and North America. Peter Lyon (Japan) and Matt Davis (Italy) are the co-chairs; Jens Meiners (Germany), Mike Rutherford (U.K.), Eddie Alterman (USA), and Gerry Malloy (Canada) are the directors.  There is no affiliation with, nor are the awards in any way influenced by any publication, auto show, automaker, or other commercial enterprise.
