New and Exciting "Control Center for Kids" iPad Game Helps Children to have Fun and their Parents to Relax

Kazan, Russia (PRWEB) October 07, 2011

Ampullarius LLC, developer of children-oriented iOS and Android games, is proud to present its new iPad game called Control Center for Kids. The game is already available on the App Store: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/control-center-for-kids/id467174135?l=ru&ls=1&mt=8 This app allows children to develop their imagination and helps them to get acquainted with the surrounding world.


When children play, they imagines themselves as a brave pilots, an intrepid captains, an unbeaten race drivers or a famous astronauts. They conquer the ocean depths, explore unchartered waters, travel to new planets, all without leaving backyards. All this activities happen with the help of their toy contraptions. But how to manage such amazing things, such as a plane made from a cardboard box? This can be done with a new Control Center for Kids app by Ampullarius, LLC.

Gameplay video is available on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XR4F0W5BW24


This game cannot be lost, it puts no pressure upon a kid with goals to achieve or gaming situations. This is what children really miss in such games. Now they can study objects and images on the screen with a lot of attention and dont have to worry about the ticking clock or that their next touch will finish the game.


Older kids will be definitely interested in realistic behavior of all knobs, steering wheels and levers. They can be touched, spun or moved, all this being accompanied by a sound corresponding to the situation. The parents will appreciate the fact that one cannot navigate anywhere outside the app without having to close it. The game doesnt open links or use pop-up windows.


The first version of the app allows traveling everywhere man has set foot: under water, on water, on land, in air and in space. The future updates will cover different aspects of professional activities. However one thing that is not planned to feature in the game is military equipment.

The game is currently available on the App Store for $ 2.99.

Leg Up Farm A Contestant in Global Pepsi Contest; Project Would Help Brand New Facility for Children with Special Needs

York, PA (PRWEB) October 4, 2010

A new Pennsylvania-based center for children with special needs is a contender to win $ 250,000 in a global contest sponsored by Pepsi. Leg Up Farm (LUF) successfully submitted an entry for the Doing Good: 101 texting competition that would make possible some exciting new additions to its brand new facility that caters to families not just patients. The entry had to make it past a team of Pepsi judges in order to qualify and now the winners will be chosen by popular vote. To vote for Leg Up Farm, you can text 103318 to Pepsi (73774) or vote online. You can vote daily through October. For more information, visit http://www.refresheverything.com/legupfarm.


Pepsis contest is broken into six categories in which the projects will benefit the planet, neighborhoods, arts and culture, food and shelter, health, and education. LUFs entry falls in the health category and would allow the novel new therapeutic center to incorporate sensory gardens into its environmentally friendly design. Leg Up Farm is a hands-on program that provides not just speech, physical and occupational therapy for its patients all together in one central location, which is in itself rare but art therapy, dance therapy, an indoor horse arena/barn and an interactive town center that makes the center a fun destination for families not just a one-stop shop for therapy appointments.


Known as Rainbow Gardens, Leg Up Farms sensory gardens would enhance the environment in which therapy services are delivered to children and their families, make the spaces accessible to persons with disabilities and allow people to enjoy and benefit from nature a core theme of Leg Up Farms approach to therapy for children with special needs.


The Rainbow Gardens will provide walking paths, a meditation garden, and other visual and sensory stimulation for children. The gardens will be designed and installed with minimal impact to the environment and are designed to provide fresh-air opportunities to the children, increased respect for and education about the environment (including the role of wildlife, insects, vegetation, fresh air and sunshine in sustaining us), an understanding about food production, an assistance dog respite area and space for recreation and exercise.


Leg Up Farm opened in April 2010. Founded by Louie Castriota, the father of four, the farm was inspired by his daughter Brooke, 14, who was born with mitochondrial disease.


Leg Up Farm believes that every child is special and that everyone involved in a childs life must work together . . . from family and friends, to doctors and therapists, to teachers, volunteers, and community members. The "Rainbow Gardens" will improve a child's life all while caring for our environment and inspiring a sense of community in the process.


Leg Up Farm will hold an open house on Saturday, Oct. 16, noon-4 p.m. at its new facility in Mount Wolf, Pa., just north of York. Festivities will include the first-ever viewing of the centers new indoor horse arena/barn, an opportunity to meet LUF staff and tour the center, and the unveiling of the centers official live mascot.
