LONDON, ENGLAND, August 23, 2010 (Press-News.org) Agent Provocateur's debut Jewellery Collection for Autumn / Winter 2010 celebrates iconic female protagonists, effortlessly and elegantly complementing the lingerie line:
Dark Fairytale
Dark Fairytale is inspired by the shocking undertones of Hans Christian Anderson's fantastical fairytales and the mystery evoked in Pedersen and Frolich's iconic illustrations. The dark wood comes alive engulfing Snow White as she innocently explores this new environment. Layer upon layer of delicate 18ct gold chains are enchanting when adorned with thorns, subtly glistening by day, barbed after dark.
Latin/Graffiti
Encoded romantic messages give an empowering force behind the Latin/Graffiti collection. 'Kiss me with a thousand kisses' conjures a passionate notion when inscribed in Latin on a dainty bangle; 'Love conquers all things: let us to surrender to love' is equally sublime. 'Always wear your underwear' is a cheeky reminder of the Agent Provocateur philosophy, cleverly encrypted in translation. The simple Graffiti rings marked 'amor', 'damina' and 'beau' make a poignant gift between partners.
Shackle
The Shackle collection is inspired by the intricate workmanship of harness-makers at the root of heritage designers. A fantasy of Marlene Dietrich, 'The Scarlet Empress', in dressage regalia gives character to this glamorous necklace and bracelet. An 18ct horse-shoe clasp and a fine gold chain give a beautiful accent to these bold pieces.
Harem Nights
Imagine the chaos and theatre of the harem sequence in Federico Fellini's '8 1/2' as the women captivate Marcello; imagine Elizabeth Taylor glittering and alluring in 'Cleopatra'; this is the power of the exotic unknown. Harem makes a dramatic statement as black rhodium plate is juxtaposed with the finest 18ct chains in earrings suspended and fluid, like liquid gold. A necklace that sits under the bosom summons a mystical memory of 'A Thousand and One Nights'. An oversized crystal ring completes the collection.
Bullet
Bullet is a kitsch collection of luxurious garnet cabochons, moulded into 18ct gold plate to mimic deadly bullets. The inner Bond Girl is revealed wearing the individual bullet ring, or the curb chain bracelet with a double-bullet clasp. A single bullet cabochon pendant hangs like a poison vial, dangerous and instantly empowering.
Military Cross
Visions of Liliana Cavani's 'The Night Porter' inspire this collection, charged with erotic and dark imagery. Power is placed in the idea of the Uniform, which in 'Military Cross' is celebrated in the medal-like centrepiece of the dramatic necklace.

Budget Woes Force New Jersey to Ponder Ending Free Roadside Assistance
2010-08-23
Since 1994, New Jersey has offered a free roadside assistance program that gives aid to motorists dealing with vehicle-related frustrations like dead batteries, flat tires or an empty gas tank. The state's Emergency Service Patrol (ESP) began not only as a public service, but also to prevent the congestion and safety concerns that usually result from cars on the side of the road.
The ESP program has aided approximately 114,000 motorists on more than 400 miles of high-traffic New Jersey roadways since its inception. But with government belts tightening, legislators are ...
Illinois Train Accidents: Frequent Fatalities Confirm Dangers
2010-08-23
Two recent train accidents in Illinois reveal that dangers are present in all parts of the state, from rural crossings to congested Chicagoland transportation arteries. Illinois ranks among the top states nationally in the number of railway accidents every year, due in part to the fact that it has the second highest number of railway crossings in the country, after Texas. While train collisions with vehicles in Illinois were at a ten-year low in 2009, they still resulted in 16 fatalities statewide.
In late July, a mail carrier was killed when his truck was struck by ...
Mandatory Installation of Black Boxes for Vehicles?
2010-08-23
The U.S. Congress is currently debating whether to require all car manufacturers to include Event Data Recorders, more commonly known as "black boxes," as standard safety features in all vehicles. Several automobile makers began installing black boxes as standard features in 2005, but they are not mandatory and are not regulated. While black boxes can be helpful tools in accident forensics, they are still surrounded by controversy because of the skill needed to interpret the recorded data and possible motorist privacy violations.

Illiquid Assets and Your Divorce
2010-08-23
Just because a person appears to be a multimillionaire or better on paper does not mean that they actually have all of that money in the bank.
Take for instance Elon Musk, the CEO of SpaceX, co-founder of PayPal and co-founder of Tesla Motors. By some estimates, Musk is believed to be worth nearly a billion dollars and had as much as $200 million in cash reserves in recent years. Yet, during his much-publicized divorce, Musk admitted that he has little cash available because he had reinvested nearly all of his earnings into his businesses. He also said that he finances ...
Reducing the Risks of Head Injuries for Young Athletes in New Jersey
2010-08-23
In recent years, public awareness of the ongoing risks posed by concussions and other closed head injuries to athletes has increased. Medical research has shown that the brain is much more vulnerable to being injured again in the weeks and months following an impact to the head. Even professional competitors are enduring longer recovery periods rather than playing through fogginess, balance issues and memory loss, not to mention the possibility of permanently ending a career. New Jersey officials have taken measures to increase protections for much younger potential victims: ...
