Technical flair, history and storytelling sit at the heart of the new American menswear jewelry and accessories brand, Reyèz. 

Designed exclusively in New York, their debut collection features rings, pendants, bracelets and a must-have micro-bag that is hitting all the seasonal style notes for men. The silver and gold fusion jewelry is a direct descendant of traditional artisan metal crafts of the Philippine Islands. Natural imperfections, reflect nature, offer charm and guarantee no two pieces are ever identical.

Founder and head designer Glenn V. Tojoy took inspiration from the collision of cultures when the 16th century Europeans arrived in the Pacific Ocean. As the European imperialists encountered Pacific islanders both cultures were changed forever. Designing for Reyèz, Tojoy considered this historical encounter and recognises the beauty and brutality at that historic moment. As was often the case with imperialism, a cultural curiosity in paradise gave way to the darker impulse. Reyèz’s first collection captures that light and dark, the brutality and beauty, the masculine and feminine.

For Tojoy, this sublime storytelling is in the details. The presence of a sword of indigenous tribal warriors and the subtle detail of the rifle sights of the European soldier’s weapons evoke the brutality of battle. These details infuse the jewelry with brutish but entrancing masculinity. Elsewhere, a repeating rose evokes romance and softness, recognising the natural beauty of the islands. A traditionally feminine detail, the rose also signifies the love, sacrifice and nobility in death.

One stunning signet style ring features three roses growing from its mirror-like silver surface. Three roses traditionally mean, ‘I love you’, and these gold roses with inset semi-precious stones are a contemporary expression of the sentiment.

Elsewhere, a chunky silver chain bracelet also features sights inspired by modern weaponry, along with weighty detailing and an oversize clasp. Here, the scale and illusion of extreme weight evoke the brutal might of warfare, yet the polished hand-casted design recalls the artisans creative metalwork of the islanders.

Tojoy’s inspirations aren’t all exclusively pulled from history. The letters “C.R.E.A.M.” (an acronym of “Cash Rules Everything Around Me”) are featured on the cash clip of the micro-bag. Taken from a song by the Wu-Tang Clan, they introduce American hip-hop culture showing another outcome of cultural fusions. 

The micro-bag, one of this season’s biggest trends for menswear, was inspired by 16th-century men’s fashions’ when all men carried a small bag. A trend that only declined with the wide adoption of pockets, but is returning in 2022 with men’s desire to maintain a clean silhouette without having to leave iPhones, keys, AirPods and wallets at home. 

Featuring a jewelry-quality silver chain and silver hardware the micro-bag features a magnetic closure, durable leather design and topstitching that reveals artisan craftsmanship.

The man behind Reyèz, Tojoy trained as a bespoke tailor in London’s famous Savile Row before moving to New York to be an assistant tailor for a prestigious in-house atelier. Since then, he has opened his custom Tailoring shop, and is now focusing on a original men’s jewelry and accessory line. With plans of extending his line into ready-to-wear.  For Tojoy, the finely tailored suit with exquisite artful Reyèz jewelry is the ultimate style statement for a modern man.

London, UK; 21st November, 2023: London based AI legal tech company, Genie AI, has added the ability to create any legal contract, in any jurisdiction, from scratch, to its AI legal assistant.

The AI legal assistant can generate an entirely bespoke legal agreement document from over 30 jurisdictions by answering three simple questions.

For hundreds of years, businesses have relied on law firms to draft complex agreements customised to their needs, especially when they don’t have an existing template to hand. With Genie AI’s new “Create” feature, legal professionals and businesses can generate legal documents in a fraction of the time, compared with hiring external counsel.

The ability to create any legal document from scratch mimics the back-and-forth interaction a client would have with their law firm or lawyer:

Since it’s beta release just three days ago, users have already generated tailored Software Licence Agreements, Employment Agreements, Loan Agreements, Service Agreements, Tenancy Agreements, Court Documents and hundreds of other documents.

During a demo of this feature to a room full of Legal Professionals at LawtechUK’s recent Generative AI event at Clifford Chance, Rafie Faruq, Genie AI CEO, said: “Foundation models like OpenAI don’t generate long form agreements, are often inconsistent throughout the document and references to law may not be relevant to your jurisdiction. We’ve innovated across all of these areas with our AI create algorithm, plus you can use our AI review skill afterwards to check the quality of the document – saving you hours if not weeks of time!”

​

In other words, Genie’s advanced “Create” and “Review” skills combine to help organisations create high-quality legal agreements in five minutes, not five days, without external counsel. That’s 100x faster and it’s still free to use!

That’s because, while it’s in beta, Genie AI continues to offer its AI Legal Assistant for free. Sign up at https://app.genieai.co/signup

Users should note that the legal quality has so far only been assessed for the UK and US so far.

In the near future, Genie will also release a step-by-step version of “Create” which takes the user through questions for each section of the document, a much needed improvement to the industry standard form “wizard” as you’ll be able to see and tweak your bespoke document in real-time.

BMV Studios has launched a crowdfunding campaign to raise enough money to produce a pilot episode of a five-part television drama series about the negative impact of absent fathers.

The aim is to raise £6,500 to produce the first episode of the drama called Saving Malik, which tells the story of one man who sets about ending the ongoing cycle of young men growing up without the mentorship of a father.

Series creator Serge Mirindi, a filmmaker from South London, hopes to have the fundraising finished by the end of May, with the aim of having the pilot shot, edited and ready for screening within five weeks. He then hopes to use the pilot to secure further investment for the remaining episodes.

Saving Malik focuses on Dean, a youth support worker who grew up without his father. Now a reformed character, his early life was blighted by crime that culminated in him murdering the father of two-year-old Malik.

Seventeen years later and the fatherless, troubled Malik is on the same downward spiral. Dean makes it his objective to become the teenager’s mentor – the role model he took from the child.

Serge says he was inspired to write the drama after his brother became a victim of knife crime in 2016.

He says: “This project is dear to my heart as I was also raised without a father. With a great deal of empathy for fatherless young men, I intend to share this story of redemption, forgiveness and hope to encourage and remind them to always see the value in themselves no matter the circumstances.

“It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men. Every boy is going to emulate a man somewhere; whether he is good or bad.”

LONDON, UK 13th March 2023 – Having multiple mobile phones has long been a sign of someone who’s up to no good. Love cheats are known for managing their double lives on different handsets, so having more than a couple of phones is always sure to rouse suspicion. But, this new app can now give them two numbers for the same phone.

Enter The CloudSIM mobile app – the perfect communication tool for mobile users with a secret.

The app, which is available on both iPhones and Android devices, provides cheats and criminals with an opportunity to manage their clandestine activities without having to swap phones. 

CloudSIM gives users the option to switch between four different numbers on one device, enabling  dodgy customers to manage their secret lives with ease.

Of course, this wasn’t the original purpose of the app. CloudSIM’s developers had good intentions, seeing it as a viable solution for business people who needed separate numbers for work calls but didn’t want to have to pay for another mobile phone. 

It’s also great for those who are online dating or selling goods and services on sites like eBay, Facebook Marketplace and Gumtree but prefer not to share personal information.  Having a second number is like having a second email address, making it far easier to compartmentalise different parts of life – particularly helpful in today’s “new normal” of working from home. 

An extra number can be useful for anyone who needs to hand out details to strangers when buying online or signing up to mailing lists. And if you want to avoid work calls while chilling with a favourite movie or Netflix binge, a separate work number can really help manage a healthy work/life balance.

For singles looking for an easier way to meet people, having a spare number gives an added element of privacy.

Expats who want to maintain a UK number can also benefit from the app, as well as business owners whose staff are now working remotely.   

The app uses VOiP technology for crystal clear calling and is a flexible, cost effective way to manage communication. Users can make real calls to international destinations at a low cost, along with much cheaper sms messaging than standard mobile providers offer. 

But like all innovative technology, there’s always a risk of a minority of people taking advantage. Cheating spouses and criminals have now been provided with the perfect opportunity to go about their dirty business more stealthily – and successfully – than ever before.

Calls to landlines costs £0.01P a minute, calls to mobiles is £0.03P a minute, and text messages cost £0.04P each. The app is free to download, but subscription fee for number is £3.99 a month, £9.99 for three months, or £27.99 for a year.

Cloud SIM is available for download in the App Store and Google Play. To find out more, visit https://www.cloudsimapp.com/
