SCOTTSDALE, AZ--(Marketwired - July 19, 2013) - Claridge Ventures, Inc. (OTCQB: CLRV) ("Claridge" or the "Company"), wishes to advise that on July 17, 2013, the Company entered into a stock exchange agreement with Indo Global Exchange PTE LTD., a company organized under the laws of Singapore ("Indo Global").

Upon the closing of the voluntary share exchange transaction as contemplated by the stock exchange agreement, the Company will issue certain shares of its common stock in exchange for 100% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Indo Global, which will then become the Company's wholly owned subsidiary, and the Company will acquire the business and operations of Indo Global. 

Indo Global Exchange (IGE) www.indoglobalexchange.com launched in Surabaya on January 1st, and opened its second office in Jakarta in May 2013 with its new head office in the prestigious Jakarta Stock Exchange Building. IGE is a company rapidly positioning itself towards the forefront of the growing introduction of global financial market services into Asia. IGE aims to become one of the world's foremost online global trading platforms through affiliate relations with partners such as Halifax Investment Services Pty Ltd of Australia, Pty Ltd, E*Trade Australia, Australian Stock Report and Mega Trader 4. IGE anticipates the rapid adoption of its sophisticated suite of financial products and services, as this type of online service has never before been available in Indonesia.

Claridge Ventures President and CEO Mr. John O'Shea states, "IGE's world-class partners offer their clients security and 100% transparency, which is critical for entry into this vast and virtually untapped marketplace. The partners are all regulated by the Australian Securities Investment Commission and hold Australian financial service licenses. Upon the successful close of the exchange agreement, the Company will be in a position to maximize its first mover advantage in this exciting environment through its ability to trade all world markets in currency, gold, futures, equity's and options through a trading platform available in 16 languages. Indonesia's population is almost that of the United States at 250 million people, with a proportionately large segment of wealthy individuals. To date, this market is significantly underserviced as Indonesian banks do not offer online trading, and local brokers only offer Indonesian stocks. As a result, the future looks very promising for IGE, its stakeholders and potential shareholders alike."

Additional details of the Company's business, finances, appointments and agreements can be found as part of the Company's continuous public disclosure as a reporting issuer with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") available at www.sec.gov.

abas-USA Hosts Technical Training for abas-ERP Users

STERLING, VA--(Marketwired - July 19, 2013) -  abas-USA hosted users at the Hyatt Place Sterling/Dulles Airport-North July 15-18, 2013. Nicolas Dormont, Lead Technical Consultant with abas-USA led the training, which covered a variety of technical topics including: Basic Programming; Database Structures, Tables & Fields; Screen Editor; Advanced Programming; Call Parameters; Jasper Printing and Printing Engine; EDP Queries; and Writing and Customizing Infosystems.

Training for technical users will enable abas customers to improve process efficiency and problem-solve in a controlled environment with real-data, which will provide future independence when returning and working on their local installation. Users should be able to gain knowledge that will encourage development outside of the abas support team. Using live-data examples, users gained a fundamental understanding of the advanced capabilities of the software, resulting in the ability to reverse-engineer and recreate more complicated database structures, queries, and automation tools. 

One attendee was confident that having the ability to auto-populate fields in the Product Master will be tremendously cost effective for his company moving forward. If a pre-populated field saves two minutes per transaction, it could add up to saving hours if not hundreds of hours per year on order entry, saving both time and money for the company.

Technical training for users will be repeated in November, and anyone interested in attending should contact Ashley Holler at 703.444.2500 or at ashleyholler@abas-usa.com

Spare Backup Begins Launch of Pre-Paid Spare Backup and Mobile Security Services at 10,000 Mobile Retailer Locations in Turkey

MINDEN, NV--(Marketwired - July 19, 2013) -  Spare Backup, Inc. ("Spare Backup") (OTC Pink: SPBU), a provider of data backup and security software for smartphones, tablets and PCs, which is carrier and manufacturer agnostic, announced today that it has begun the launch of its prepaid offering of Spare Backup and Mobile Security Services at 10,000 mobile retailing locations in Turkey with its marketing partnership with LSG-AH Assistans Hizmetleri A.S., a mobile marketing company based in Turkey.

LSG-AH will progressively roll out the promotional pre-paid scratch card through a network of over 10,000 independent mobile retailers throughout the third quarter of 2013. Each retailer involved in the launch must purchase an initial stocking inventory of annual prepaid cards for which Spare Backup and LSG-AH will each immediately receive 50% of the up-front revenue less expenses as well as any additional revenue derived from future card purchases. Retailers will then resell the services to their mobile customers purchasing a new and pre-owned mobile phone package. 

As previously stated by the company, the offering is anticipated to generate positive cash flow for Spare Backup. Both companies anticipate they will expand the offering in the near future to include additional retailers and by incorporating additional services designed to create a strong value proposition for the Turkish consumer.

Spare Backup anticipates that this launch will significantly improve near term cash flow, and that revenue derived from Turkey in the coming quarters will be more than sufficient to sustain operations. Spare Backup intends to use any excess cash flow to enable management to strengthen its balance sheet through the renegotiation of certain payables and debts outstanding as well as to support additional marketing launches in Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East, and Russia.

Cery Perle, CEO of Spare Backup, Inc., stated, "We are excited to begin this launch in Turkey after months of hard work by our whole team. We believe Turkey represents a vast opportunity for us and we are working closely with our partners to support this initial sales push. As we move forward we intend to expand the services we offer to our retailers which include 'independent franchisees' of all major carriers in Turkey, to maximize our near term revenue and establish a long lasting highly profitable footprint in this country."

MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA--(Marketwired - July 19, 2013) - Gridstore™, the leading provider of optimized storage for Hyper-V, today announced an upcoming webinar on Tuesday, July 23, at 10:00 a.m. Pacific presented by Sr. Director Product Management, Don Chouinard of Gridstore. The online event, Microsoft Has Changed the Storage Landscape, will address changes to the storage landscape made by Microsoft with the introduction of Windows Server 2012 and Hyper-V and how enterprises can accelerate application performance by 500%.

"The one-size-fits-all storage architecture works well when you can optimize the storage controller for a specific application workload, but it cannot optimize in multiple ways when there is a mixed environment -- which is just about every data center today," said Chouinard. "I look forward to sharing best practices with attendees on how to address the application performance issues that are pervasive in today's virtual infrastructure and how to eliminate the need to over-provision storage resources."

Traditional storage is a one size fits all approach that results in sub-optimal performance for all applications. Gridstore breaks free of the limitations of traditional one-size fits all storage that was never designed to meet the demands of the modern data center. Gridstore uses patented Server-Side Virtual Controller™ Technology (SVCT ) with a grid architecture to deliver custom-fit storage that accelerates performance for every application across both virtual and physical environments. By combining simple building blocks of storage with intelligent vControllers™, the Gridstore storage solution grows more powerful as you independently scale, capacity, I/O and processing and allows you to Pay-as-you-Scale to meet your specific needs.

Source: Casino La Vida

Toronto, Canada, July 20, 2013 --(PR.com)-- Casino La Vida has been taking its players to Paradise in the form of a pioneering new campaign, Passport to Paradise. The climax of the campaign is the La Fiesta Grande tournament, which will give away $50,000 in prizes. Registrations for La Fiesta Grande opened on Thursday 18 July.

La Fiesta Grande begins next week on 29 July. It is a lavish, multi-round leaderboard tournament which will be handing out $50,000 in prizes, cash and giveaways over the space of 5 weeks. The tournament will be broken up into three qualifying rounds to be held for one week each, before finalists go into a two-week-long final round.

La Fiesta Grande, which means ‘the big party’, fits neatly into the Passport to Paradise promotion, which has been in play since the end of June 2013. Passport to Paradise is a European vacation romp across all the fabulous party spots of the continent. Eight stops, including Italy, France and Spain, give Casino La Vida members the option to participate in that destination’s offer and get a ‘passport stamp’, five of which will qualify the member for the chance to win fabulous prizes, including a VIP cruise for two worth $15,000.

Apart from the Passport to Paradise prizes, La Fiesta Grande will award $50,000 to its winners. Among the more fabulous prizes are an advanced driving course and a year’s supply of Champagne to live the high life with.

For the La Fiesta Grande leg of the adventure, the action is set in three different locations in the Greek isles – Corfu, Mykonos and Crete. Participants need to play, deposit and wager at the casino enough during at least one of the qualifying rounds to secure their spot in the final.

La Fiesta Grande is a leaderboard tournament, meaning that prizes are awarded according to points, and points are awarded based on participation. This means that those who have the most fun playing their favourite La Vida games will also be the most rewarded. Weekly prizes will be handed out, both to the winners of each round and to random players striking it lucky. Players who qualify for the final will also be awarded a cash bonus between $15 and $45 absolutely free.

Those who wish to play in La Fiesta Grande can register until 29 July to earn an Early Bird Bonus of 100 tournament points. The tournament starts on the same day.

Spyrix Personal Monitor Makes User Activity Logs Available Online

0

Source: Spyrix

New York, NY, July 20, 2013 --(PR.com)-- Spyrix announces a new version of its keylogger product – Spyrix Personal Monitor. The program invisibly sits in the background and tracks all user actions for ultimate control of what is happening on the computer. The new version features the astonishing option of viewing real-time activity logs online through spyrix.net.

While many would agree that “spying” is bad, when it comes to safety, the term “monitoring” often replaces the former. Spyrix Personal Monitor and its lesser cousin Spyrix Free Keylogger are a couple of such monitoring applications. Spyrix Personal Monitor keeps track of almost all user activity on the computer, starting from bare keystroke logs and tracing of launched applications, to screen and web camera shots, social network keylogging and browser-independent history of visited websites.

Silent operation of the tool provides a nice ground for parental control use and employee monitoring, while the antivirus-friendly behavior will not evoke any suspicions and therefore will not reveal the program.

While hidden recording of logs is important, a good keylogger must also provide ways to retrieve them with minimum effort. And this is where Spyrix Personal Monitor leads the pack. The program can deliver logs via FTP, e-mail and local networks, and the latest version also features online log checking via an account at spyrix.net, a companion service for the tool. This means that with the new version of Spyrix Personal Monitor, any information gathered by the program – be it applications being started or instant messaging chat log – becomes available to the supervisor in real time.

Spyrix Free Keylogger, a simpler version of the program, offers no search query monitoring, logging of visited websites or an advanced alert system, but is still exceptionally functional and easy to use. The new release of the free tool delivers a range of fixes and improvements, too.

Pricing and availability
