HONG KONG, July 11, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Street style is popular among lots of people, but it doesn't stop on the streets. Instead, it's heading straight over to the beach. If you are still looking for suitable swimwear, RELLECIGA's recently released Doodle Print Triangle Top Bikini Set is definitely worth a shot!

RELLECIGA focuses on innovation and uses the representative print in its new bikini series -- the doodle print. There are plenty elements of street style dresses and most of them are already used in bikini design. However, the pioneer as well as the representative of the street style -- doodle -- is yet to be used in a bikini set. Designed in Paris, RELLECIGA is always one step ahead of other rivals and this time, they are again the very first one to use the doodle print. Thanks to RELLECIGA's insisting on quality and traditional Graphic Printing Technology, the print of this series is vivid and multi-colored.

However, as is known to all, RELLECIGA can always bring you more. It will put cutting edge technology -- Digital Printing -- into use before long, which was brought in at the beginning of this year. RELLECIGA bikini's design fundamentally reflects the beautiful intricacy possible with Digital Printing, as well as the technical challenges of maintaining the color contrast on the fabric.

"The inks used in digital printing are formulated specifically for each type of fiber. So, RELLECIGA has developed a special formula for nylon in its unique swimsuits. During the printing process, the RELLECIGA special fabric is fed through the printer using rollers and ink is applied to the surface in the form of thousands of tiny droplets. The fabric is then finished using heat and/or steam to cure the ink (some inks also require washing and drying). Digitally printed fabric will wash and wear the same as any other fabrics, although with some types of ink you may see some initial fading in the first wash."

What's more, RELLECIGA thinks highly of details. As a result, they used neon yellow ties for the neck, back and waist, which light up this swimsuit. The hottest neon color of this summer perfectly matches the doodle print, together bringing the hip-hop star out of you. Flaunting this series of bikinis around the beach or the pool will absolutely prove that sometimes whistles can work wonders.

Last week, RELLECIGA firstly released the Fashionable Doodle Print Triangle Top Bikini Set with Neon Yellow Ties and Removable Padding. You can check out the details by visiting www.RELLECIGA.com.

WILMINGTON, Del., July 12, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- The globalization of markets is not new. But it is still very hard to be a successful global enterprise. IGXE (www.igxe.com), the leading online game virtual trading service company operated by Chongqing SoftIsland Co., Ltd., that is specialized in dealing hundreds of MMORPG (Massive Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game) in-game currencies, items, powerleveling and CD keys, has started its business expansion since several years ago. In 2013, globalization is still a very important strategic target for IGXE.COM.

In 2011, IGXE set up its official website in German and French. Then IGXE expanded its business to Brazil, Canada, Russia, Singapore and Australia in 2012. It also added multilingual functions for the convenience of people from different countries. Besides IGXE's official website, they also set up sister website mmoxe German site (www.mmoxe.de) and mmoxe Brazil site (www.mmoxe.com.br) to enhance global progress. In order to expand the market, IGXE also established special websites to develop items and powerleveling like www.powerlevelshop.com.

The Reason to Enhance Global Progress

Brand Expansion.
IGXE, as a nine-years-old website, has a good reputation in the virtual market. This website gives the most favorable price and promises five hours delivery. Globalization is the inexorable trend for market expansion.

Market Factor.
According to the data collected, the virtual market is not as prosperous as before. Take World of Warcraft for example. In the first quarter of 2013, the number of WoW players dropped to 8.3 million, a loss of 1.3 million. Besides, more and more game developers created cash action houses, in which people can trade game currency and items among themselves. In this case, the third-party sellers like IGXE.COM have to expand their market to get more customers to keep their sales.

The Difficulty to Realize Global Progress

Language Barriers.
Language is the key point to success in Europe or other countries. It is better to use local language to write products' descriptions and provide customer service, or it will have strong impact on your sales.

Cultural Differences.
Different countries have different cultures. In China, the average female shoe size is 38, but it is 40 in America. It's the same with online games. World of Warcraft is the most popular game in America, but not the same for FIFA 13 UT. FIFA 13 is an attractive game for British, Germans and French. People can find lots of FIFA websites in Europe such as www.buyfifacoins.eu. Market research is the essential step for IGXE.

Payment.
Credit cards are generally accepted in every country. Nevertheless, each countries has their own way of payment. In China, they have Alipay. In Germany, people like the Pay Safe card and Sofort. Boleto is very popular in Brazil. To have a good idea about different countries' payment systems is an important way to improve the payment success rate.

The Way to Make It

IGXE is making full preparations for the global expansion. IGXE increased the annual budget for this project. It set up independent departments responsible for different language districts. They will be in charge of marketing, product research, supply chain and local language customer service.

"IGXE globalization is not only my target, but also the dream of all IGXE employees. No matter how hard it is, we will make every effort to realize it," said IGXE marketing department manager Miss Zhou. People can also leave the comments on IGXE's interactive platform: www.igxe.us.

HONG KONG, July 15, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- As a young lady full of energy and enthusiasm, you definitely don't want to be like this, and you've got to snap out of it. Have a look at the Hollywood movie star Blake Lively. When she stepped out for the premiere of "Turbo" in New York on Tuesday, her outfit was an easy look that we could all see ourselves wearing, which is exactly the point - anyone can look beautiful in a common dress like her. And so it is with unique swimsuits. This summer, be a shining star under the sunshine together with RELLECIGA Bikinis!

Picking the most suitable bikini set for yourself is quite difficult when there are so many styles and colors to choose from. But don't worry - RELLECIGA ("RC" for short) offers you choices as well as advice.

First of all, you should not miss the lace bikini, not only because it's trending this summer, but also because it can be both sweet and sexy. No matter what kind of style you want, lace bikinis will give you more options. However, we all know that lace is an element that is hard to match well with other fabrics. No need to worry about this question with RC's bikinis - designed in Paris, RC mixes all the elements well. Our designers have added the lace trim to the triangle tops and low waist bottoms. Moreover, we have made the lace trim neon colors which are extremely eye-catching under the sunshine. Neon color lace trim with light solid color makes you as sweet as honey, while mixing zebra prints and dark solid colors makes you the wildest animal.

Also, you should pay attention to floral and jungle prints. Different from garden-variety prints, RC's florals burst into a kaleidoscope-like look and become the ultimate badge of swimwear this summer. And the jungle print looks better with the 3/4 cup top bikini set, which can bring lookers to their knees.

In addition, don't forget to consider lovely details like ruffles. There are plenty of details on a RC bikini set, such as rhinestones, sequins, open "V" wire centers, and so on. However, ruffles are definitely the most flirty one among these. Make a statement with a bold pop of ruffles with a bright RC swimsuit and flirt with the sunshine, sands and waves.

The beach is all about relaxation, rest and tranquility. If you want to be one in a million and heat up the beach, RC's bikinis are your first choice. They are perfect for days lounging under the sun and will definitely help you become your own stylist, and turn heads as well.

BEIJING, July 19, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Renren Inc. (NYSE: RENN) ("Renren" or the "Company"), a leading real-name social networking internet platform in China, today announced preliminary selected unaudited financial results for the second fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2013. These preliminary results are subject to change as the Company is in the process of finalizing the financial statements for the second quarter. The Company expects to issue the earnings release for the second fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2013, on August 14, 2013, after market hours.

Revenues in the second quarter of 2013 are estimated to be in the range of US$49 million to US$50 million instead of the previously forecasted range of US$55 million to US$57 million. The reduced estimate is primarily due to delays in the planned launch of new mobile and cross-platform games for the Android market.

Operating loss on a non-GAAP basis in the second quarter of 2013 is estimated to be between US$29 million to US$30 million. Non-GAAP adjusted net loss is estimated to be between US$4 million to US$5 million.

"Revenues came in lower than expected mostly due to delays in our game pipeline. As we continue to prepare towards our penetration into the Android market, our focus is to ensure the complete readiness of our games and a carefully prepared distribution strategy at the time of entry. The next wave of growth for our mobile and cross-platform games lies in monetizing this enormously untapped but highly fragmented market opportunity," commented Joseph Chen, Chief Executive Officer of Renren.

"We remain confident about the long term growth opportunities for our company. As such, last month our board of directors authorized a new US$100 million share repurchase program to supplement the previous US$150 million share repurchase program which has already been completed," added Mr. Chen.

Conference Call Information

We define adjusted net income (loss) as income (loss) from continuing operations excluding share-based compensation expenses, amortization of intangible assets and impairment of intangible assets. We present adjusted net income (loss) because it is used by our management to evaluate our operating performance. We also believe that this non-GAAP financial measure provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our consolidated results of operations in the same manner as our management and in comparing financial results across accounting periods and to those of our peer companies.

The presentation of this non-GAAP financial measure is not intended to be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. For more information on these non-GAAP financial measures, please see the table captioned "Reconciliation of non-GAAP results of operations measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures" at the end of this release.

HONG KONG, July 19, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- The hottest month of northern hemisphere is coming! Every girl has a dream to be the queen bee at a party. And that's why it's so crucial that girls should be well-armed with a suitable bikini set when taking part in any beach or pool party. However, everyone should have the same question - what is a suitable swimsuit? It's all about design and fabric.

As a leading bikini & swimsuit brand, RELLECIGA ("RC") is pretty popular among young ladies in North America. One of many primary reasons for its achievement is their determination in design. Targeting young, energetic, and fashionable ladies, RC makes its bikinis chic, stylish and sexy. What's more, RC invited designers from the city of fashion - Paris, to ensure its bikinis are unique and one step ahead of its rivals. Designed in Paris, RC has the ability to lead the trend. Lines such as the Lace Bikini Series, the Floral Print Bikini Series and the Ruffle Bikini Series are in the eye of the bikini fashion storm this year. Meanwhile, RC releases various styles depending on different body types to make sure that every girl can find their own bikini set. For instance, ladies with large busts will look perfect and extremely sexy in RELLECIGA's triangle top bikini set and bandeau top with an open "V" wire center bikini set; while those who have a smaller chest can wear 3/4 halter top or 1/2 cup bandeau top with mild push-up, which can bring out charm and confidence.

Fabric is also crucial to a suitable swimsuit. RELLECIGA uses the most popular fabrics from around the world today - including ultra-threaded and stereoscopically elastic fabric - to produce its bikinis, which is super soft, cool and breathable. This kind of fabric ensures that the swimsuits are flexible when doing exercise, especially when swimming in the water. This also shows RC's tough standards in quality control. It follows international standards and uses the most suitable fabric for swimming instead of the cheapest, as other manufacturers usually do.

In addition, RC is one of the largest bikini manufacturers. Last year, it released about 200 sets of bikinis, which is second only to Victoria's Secret. With this volume of products, RC has what you are looking for. Moreover, RC's annual output is over 1,500,000 pieces, with a total investment of USD$5,000,000.

With unique design, strict quality control and stable supply, RC is able to be popular in North America. And RC keeps trying to give you more - it's upgrading its service and has opened a new retail outlet in Houston, Texas for customers to experience the wonderful bikinis it offers. All of these efforts make RC even hotter.

RC is an expert in women's bikinis, and it's proud of being a professional manufacturer and supplier.

MUNICH, July 22, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Last May, a brand new touch of light green appeared in several branches of Douglas, the German cosmetics retail group. The new name hitting the shelves is called "Herborist", a refined brand positioned at the crossroads of traditional Chinese herbal extracts and the latest modern biotechnical achievements. In the international markets which it has already appeared in, Herborist stands for an oriental philosophy of mysterious beauty. Now, German consumers are discovering these Chinese philosophies and medicinal herb theories, experiencing a distinctive culture coming from the other end of the globe.

Germany is the most populous country in EU, and contains the largest cosmetics market in Europe. Douglas is the leader in this market with a history of over a hundred years and over 1,900 stores around the world. Though neither professionals nor consumers have much knowledge about Chinese cosmetics yet, German consumers were pretty enthusiastic at the launch of Herborist, and they liked the brand's innovative concept and the quality of the product.

Germany is not the first step along Herborist's European journey. Five years ago the brand was launched in the European market by settling down at Sephora's flagship store on the Avenue des Champs-Elysees in Paris. Cultural differences didn't stop Herborist's development; instead it stimulated consumers' curiosity. T'ai Chi Masks became top-five-selling items soon after their introduction.

While buying Herborist products, consumers can hear salespeople explaining some skin-care concepts with deep philosophical meaning, which refers to natural balance, and the syncretism of body and mind. All of those have obvious imprints of the ancient oriental country from which the products are developed. From products, to packaging, to brand culture, Herborist's salute to Chinese culture has attracted a certain amount of curious consumers. Feedback can be found on social media and in beauty blogs; people are a little bit unfamiliar and surprised, but with solid effects.

The worldwide China fever is no longer a secret. With a strong scientific research program, Herborist is reviving traditional Chinese prescription and medical herb theories. It sets up a successful example of modern China using its cultural heritage.

So far, Chinese elements have helped Herborist gain brand awareness and laid the foundation of expanding international markets. Whether Herborist can win more consumers' favor will depend on the actual effects of its products.

TAIPEI, July 23, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --

2Q Preliminary Results

• Revenues of approximately $3.7 million - better than expected, with strong performance by A.V.A. partially offsetting a traditional summer season revenue decrease.
• Record-low headquarters expenses; consolidated operating expenses down 10 percent Q-o-Q.
• Net income of approximately $84 thousand - better results than forecast due to better-than-expected performance of the online games business and a non-operating gain of approximately $1.2 million related to the disposal of a non-strategic investment.
• Cash outflow of approximately $5.0 million, which included full payment of GigaMedia's short-term debt of approximately $7.5 million.
• Cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities-current of approximately $73.0 million, or approximately $1.44 per share; zero debt.

GigaMedia Limited (NASDAQ: GIGM) announced today preliminary second-quarter 2013 consolidated financial results.

"We are pleased to report another quarter of solid progress in our turnaround, with our revamped online games business performing better than expected in the second quarter, traditionally a weak period for online gaming," stated GigaMedia Limited Chief Executive Officer Collin Hwang. "New quarterly performance incentives and continued cost reductions are beginning to take effect."

"With leaner operations and more focused and motivated teams, we are on track for a solid second half of 2013," stated CEO Collin Hwang. "We expect our MMOs to benefit from the traditional seasonal surge in online gaming activity in the third quarter, helping to offset weakness in casual PC-based games, and look forward to extending our platform with new self-developed Web-based/mobile social casino games in the fourth quarter."

The financial results presented above are preliminary and subject to completion. GigaMedia's expectations with respect to these unaudited results are based on management estimates and information available at this time. As a result, these preliminary estimates may be different from the actual results that will be reflected in GigaMedia's consolidated financial statements for the second quarter of 2013 when they are released.

HONG KONG, July 24, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- UBM Asia's Jewellery Group (www.jewellerynetasia.com), organiser of the world's number one jewellery fair, announces all visitors with Trade Buyer ID Card can now enjoy free and immediate access to all UBM Asia's jewellery and fashion jewellery & accessories fairs in Mainland China, Germany, India, Japan, Singapore, Turkey, Hong Kong and Taiwan regions, without having to register to visit the fairs.

Sample Card of Trade Buyer ID

The Trade Buyer ID project was rolled out in June 2012 to make visiting UBM Asia's jewellery fairs in Hong Kong and Mainland China an easy and enjoyable experience right from the registration step. Due to the overwhelming success of the launch and the positive feedback from jewellery buyers, UBM Asia decided to give holders of Trade Buyer ID direct access to all of its jewellery fairs around the world. Instead of getting an admission badge for each jewellery fair, visitors simply present the Trade Buyer ID Card and walk directly into their chosen fairs. As of today, over 10,000 jewellery buyers from 92 countries and regions have received Trade Buyer ID Cards. 

For visitors who have not upgraded their visitor's badge yet, all they need to do is to bring along their identity documents and visit the Trade Buyer ID Card service counter at AsiaWorld-Expo or the Hong Kong Convention & Exhibition Centre in person during the September Hong Kong Jewellery & Gem Fair 2013 to upgrade the card. The Trade Buyer ID Card is valid until December 2015.

"The enhancements we made to the Trade Buyer ID certainly mean more direct and hassle-free access for buyers. This project represents a significant step forward in making the experience of visitors at our fairs more convenient and seamless," said Wolfram Diener, Senior Vice President of UBM Asia Ltd.

Comments from the Jewellery Buyers

Mr Asavin Naetsawan of Saket Inter Co Ltd, an exporter/importer of precious stones from Thailand, commented: "I paid my first visit to the June Fair and was so impressed by the overall arrangement, especially with the Trade Buyer ID.  This is an excellent idea and will save me a lot of time as I won't need to register for each UBM Asia's jewellery fair I want to visit."

Mr Shajahan of Gem Mines, a gemstone wholesaler from Malaysia, said: "I've been to the June Fair many times to source diamonds, gemstones and fine jewellery products. Products offered are of high quality and very competitively priced. I like the Trade Buyer ID because of the convenience it brings to visitors like me."

"The Trade Buyer ID concept is excellent and will encourage more trade buyers to visit jewellery fairs organised by UBM Asia. This is my tenth visit to the June Fair; every year I see wider varieties of products to choose from," said Ms Nina A Podgornaya of Trade House Jewellery from Russia.
