The strategic relationship will allow Virgin Media, one of the UK's leading providers of superfast broadband, digital entertainment, home phone and mobile services, to bring together its print and direct marketing production with greater control and opportunity for innovation.

Human Recognition Systems Partner With Camwatch

LIVERPOOL, England, November 27, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --

    Camwatch to augment MSite site access control and workforce management solution with
JCB Site Security Mobile CCTV Tower

    Human Recognition Systems (HRS) has partnered with Camwatch, a leading pioneer in
specialist CCTV monitoring, to offer their MSite customers access to the JCB Site Security
Mobile CCTV Tower, a unique, fully-integrated, rapidly-deployable security solution.

    A previous winner of the CIOB Innovation Award, the solution provides monitored CCTV,
backed up by live audio challenges, and is proven to help prevent crime.

    Neil Norman, CEO at HRS said, "We are delighted to have partnered with Camwatch. The
partnership reaffirms our commitment to constantly improving our client offering and
offers the perfect complement to our MSite solution. We can now offer a full service
offering to our construction customers, allowing them a full site access and security
solution coupled with our market-leading workforce management reporting."

    HRS's MSite has been deployed on over 400 construction sites and was chosen to protect
the London 2012 Olympic Park build and its subsequent redevelopment.

    Phil Bunting, Director of Sales and Technology at Camwatch said, "HRS is a recognised
leader in the site security market. By partnering with them, we are able to gain access to
their existing customer base of the top 25 construction firms to offer a complete solution
to site access, security and workforce management."

    Designed for ease of installation and relocation as a site develops, the mobile CCTV
units make maximum use of wireless communications technology, minimising disruptive cable
runs and virtually eliminating any ground works requirements. An uninterruptible power
supply ensures the system remains functional in the event of a power failure.

    The motion detectors, operating in 360 degrees, will be alerted should anyone access
the site without authorisation and the camera will tilt-pan-zoom to view the intrusion. If
the intrusion is at night, the infra-red sensor will activate to ensure crystal clear
visuals, even in the dark, at considerable distances.

    The Camwatch National Monitoring Station will be alerted to the disturbance where one
of the experienced operators will view the incident immediately and identify the
situation, eliminating any false alarms.

    Neil added, "The Camwatch JCB solutions is a perfect fit for our MSite solution. Its
mobility and ease of installation matches that of our MSite Pod, enabling us to secure a
site in a matter of hours with little or no disruption to site."

Turn your Tablet into an Entertainment Hub for the Entire Family

The E FUN Nextbook 8" Tablet with Windows is Available for $99 at Walmart Stores on Black Friday

WEST COVINA, Calif., Nov. 26, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- With tablets establishing themselves as commonplace in schools and the workplace, it can be easy to overlook the entertainment application of these high-tech devices. There is no reason, however, that tablets can't be used for both work and pleasure. One such tablet that is perfect for both work and play is the Nextbook 8" tablet with Windows 8.1 from E FUN, available for $99 at Walmart stores on Black Friday. Here are a few suggestions to help you get the most out of your tablet by turning it into an entertainment hub for the entire family.

http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20141125/161002

Mirror the Device to your TV
The most powerful feature for turning your tablet into an entertainment hub is its mini HDMI output, which will essentially allow you to mirror your tablet's screen onto any television. This means that you can watch videos, play games, and access all of your favorite mobile apps on that big flat screen TV in the living room. Also, Netflix, Hulu and other online services can be streamed to any TV directly from your tablet without the need for a separate device such as a Roku or Apple TV. Have you ever wanted to play Angry Birds, watch YouTube videos or surf the Web on the big screen? The Nextbook 8" tablet makes it as simple as connecting a single cord.

Power to the Gamer
If you enjoy playing games on your tablet but want to take it to the next level, we suggest connecting a gaming controller via USB. All you need to turn a touch screen gaming experience into an Xbox or PlayStation-like experience is a microUSB adapter and an Xbox controller. This simple alteration will drastically improve the playability of games like Team Fortress 2, Call of Duty, Halo, and Asphalt 8 to name a few. With screen mirroring enabled and a gaming controller attached, gamers of every level are sure to be impressed.

Reading is Fun Too
If games and videos aren't your thing, use the tablet as your dedicated e-reader. Nook, Kindle and many other eBook apps are available to download from the Microsoft Store, giving users free and easy access to more than 3 million books, magazines and newspapers. The Nextbook 8" tablet is perfect for sitting back and relaxing with your favorite eBook. 

Bring Music to Life
Music enthusiasts will be happy to hear that the Nextbook 8" tablet comes preloaded with Xbox Music, giving you access to free radio and free music streaming for millions of songs, among several other features. Also available through the Microsoft Store are countless music apps including 8tracks radio, iHeartRadio and Spotilite to further increase your music library, and with Bluetooth, an audio jack and miniHDMI output port, there is no limit to how you can experience your favorite tunes.

Full Phone Charge, All the Time. A Fashion Wearable That Will Charge Your Things. And Keep Your Pants Up.

MANCHESTER, England, November 26, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --

            Recently Launched on IndieGoGo, the XOO Belt is a design-led wearable

              offering 2,100mAh of anywhere, anytime charge for smartphones

    UK hardware startup Nifty-which broke Kickstarter records with its Nifty MiniDrive in
2012-has announced
[https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/xoo-belt-by-nifty-a-phone-charging-belt/x/9175872 ] the
first product in their new wearable tech line XOO: a smartphone-charging belt designed in
collaboration with iconic London fashion house, Casely-Hayford
[http://casely-hayford.com/home/?fade=true ].

    Nifty built the XOO Belt to solve a common problem as simply as possible. Other
battery chargers exist but come with trade-offs: bulk, inconvenience or only a trickle of
extra charge. The XOO Belt does away with such problems: simple to use, always within
reach and as light and stylish as, well, a designer belt.

    The XOO Belt line includes two collections: Classic XOO and the Casely-Hayford
collection, the result of a collaboration between Nifty and world-renowned British fashion
duo Joe and Charlie Casely-Hayford. Rather than a simple tech product the XOO Belt is
being designed as a wearable that's a pleasure to actually wear and can be customised to
suit any wardrobe.

    Counting the likes of David Beckham, Tinie Tempah and Florence Welch among their
esteemed client list, Casely-Hayford are at the forefront of sartorial innovation and the
collaboration is one of the first to see a primarily tech-focused company engage so
closely with a luxury fashion house, reflecting the great development of and demand for
wearable technology.

    Hidden within the XOO Belt are multiple layers of cutting-edge flexible battery, a
first of its kind in wearable tech. Ultra safe and unreactive, completely invisible and
clocking in at 2,100mAh of power: enough to fully charge an iPhone 6, and then some. The
XOO Belt works with both microUSB (Android) and Lightning cable (Apple devices).

    Founding CEO of Nifty, Piers Ridyard said:

    "We were sick of our phones dying by dinner time. A first-world problem but,
nonetheless, a really big pain point. The XOO Belt takes away that pain, whenever you need
it and wherever you are. Not just a standard tech product but a really nice product that
solves a really big problem really well."

    About Nifty:

    Nifty create design-led tech products to simplify and enhance mobile lifestyles. Their
first product, the MiniDrive, was launched on Kickstarter in 2012. It became the highest
crowdfunded UK-based hardware project to date having raised $384,319 from an initial goal
of $11,000.

    The company, which was named the UK's 30th hottest startup by startups.co.uk and in
the top 50 most exciting European lean hardware startups by tech.eu earlier this year, has
eight full-time staff and two non-executive directors. Nifty is based at SpacePort,
Manchester.

Sony Introduces the a7II, the World's First Full-Frame Camera with 5-Axis Image Stabilization

SAN DIEGO, Nov. 26, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --Sony Electronics, a worldwide leader in digital imaging, has today introduced another exciting addition to its full-frame  7 lineup, the  7II (model ILCE-7M2).

http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20141126/161048

The new mirrorless interchangeable lens camera is the world's first full-frame camera to feature 5-axis image stabilization(1), allowing it to compensate for camera movement in five different directions to produce extremely sharp handheld images.

The  7II model is equipped with a 24.3 effective megapixel 35mm full-frame sensor and adds 30% faster AF responsiveness(4), enriched video shooting capabilities, redesigned ergonomics and more. 

"The new  7II is simply the latest example of the impressive innovation we're bringing to the industry, particularly in the mirrorless space" said Neal Manowitz, director of the   interchangeable lens camera business at Sony.  "We're continuing to push the boundaries of what can be accomplished with a full-frame sensor, consistently delivering 'world's first' technologies that no other cameras - DSLR or otherwise - can accomplish."   

New Image Stabilization Technology

The innovative 5-axis image stabilization on the new  7II detects and corrects camera shake along five axes during shooting, including angular shake (pitch and yaw) that tends to occur with a telephoto lens, shift shake (X and Y axes) which becomes noticeable as magnification increases, and rotational shake (roll) that often affects shots at night or when recording video.  The 24.3 MP full frame sensor moves to accommodate all of these types of shake, with stabilization equivalent to up to 4.5 steps faster shutter speed of correction(2).

Additionally, the 5-axis stabilization works cooperatively with Sony   lenses with optical steady shot (OSS) to provide maximum stabilization and clarity, while also performing admirably with Sony   A-mount lenses and third party lenses(3) without on-board stabilization. Effects of the stabilization can be previewed via live-view on the LCD or OLED viewfinder of the camera.     

Speedy, Accurate Autofocus with Hybrid AF

The new  7II employs a 117-point focal plane phase detection AF sensor with 25 contrast detection AF points, with approximately 30% faster AF responsiveness and 1.5 times more accurate subject tracking than the original  7 model(4) thanks to a series of new algorithms for detecting subject distance and predicting motion.  Additionally, AF and now automatic exposure (AE) is provided while tracking subjects during high-speed continuous shooting at up to 5 fps.

Enriched HD Video Functionality     

The new full-frame camera shares the powerful BIONZ X image processing engine with several other high-end Sony cameras, and adds a variety of advanced video functionality including the addition of XAVC S(5) codec, which records video at a high data rate of 50 Mbps with advanced compression for impressive video quality. 

For the professional and prosumer customers, the  7II adds picture profiles for convenient in-camera tone adjustments and supports the S-Log2 gamma function which preserves a wide dynamic range.  It also includes Time Code (useful for editing), Rec Control (for synced recording with external recorder) and dual video recording.

ADAM's Strategy Is Rated Highest Among DAM Vendors, With a Top-Three Rating for Current Offering

GHENT, Belgium and NEW YORK, November 26, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --

    Download the complete Wave Document and register for a webinar with Analyst Anjali
Yakkundi [https://www.forrester.com/Anjali-Yakkundi ]here
[http://adamsoftware.net/en/what-we-do/business-propositions/dam-wave-for-customer-experience-2014 ]

    ADAM Software, a leading Digital Asset Management (DAM
[http://adamsoftware.net/en/what-we-do/business-propositions/enterprise-e-library ]) and
Product Content Management (PCM
[http://adamsoftware.net/en/what-we-do/business-propositions/product-information-management ]
) software provider, today announced that it was among the select companies that
Forrester Research, Inc. invited to participate in its November, 2014 evaluation, The
Forrester [https://www.forrester.com/home ] Wave (TM)Digital Asset Management For Customer
Experience, Q4 2014. In this evaluation, ADAM was cited as a Leader in digital asset
management (DAM). ADAM was the top-ranked vendor in the Strategy category, and the report
states that ADAM has a comprehensive, forward-thinking vision to use DAM as a backbone for
digital experience delivery (including commerce) and enterprise marketing ecosystem.

    The Forrester Wave(TM) report evaluated the 10 most significant software providers
across 38 criteria. Discussing the increasing importance of DAM in the age of the
customer, the report notes three key drivers:

       
        - Omnichannel experiences drive the need for a core rich media management
          hub
        - Experiences across the customer life cycle create complexities in managing
          rich media.
        - The need for greater marketing and business agility.

    The report further identifies two areas that DAM solutions must support: "Digital
experience delivery" and "Marketing and business agility." Evaluating ADAM through this
lens, Forrester cited the company as "a new leader in this space" and noted that:

       
        - The solution has impressive functionality in workflow and
          globalization/localization.
        - ADAM also has increased its partnerships, deepening ties to other .NET vendors
          like Teradata, Sitecore, and services partners.
        - ADAM is best-suited for organizations with marketing and eCommerce-centric DAM
          needs, and those that may have increasing global complexities.

    Giving ADAM the highest marks of any vendor in the Strategy category, Forrester
explained that: "ADAM Software's vision is a key area of strength. ADAM has a
comprehensive, forward-thinking vision to use DAM as a backbone for digital experience
delivery (including commerce) and enterprise marketing ecosystem...and deeper product
content management outside of the traditional DAM scope."

    "We welcome the Forrester Wave(TM) report on DAM, which provides important context to
understand the critical role of this technology today. We believe our position as a Leader
affirms the strength of our solution, while the top marks we received for Strategy
validates, in our opinion, our strategic direction as a company that provides not only
tools, but also a clear vision for the future of marketing technology to meet a new
generation of customer needs," said ADAM Software CEO Pieter Casneuf.

    About ADAM Software

    ADAM Software makes marketing easier. From content creation to great customer
experience, our technology simplifies and improves every aspect of the marketing cycle.

A New Way to Warranty: Upsie Eliminates Hassle and Huge Markup

New mobile app offers extended protection for thousands of products, with savings of 50 to 90 percent off traditional pricing

MINNEAPOLIS, Nov. 20, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- In the decades since extended warranties made their debut, there hasn't been a lot to love. The warranty industry's checkered reputation has included high prices, a "hard sell" from cashiers and murky terms and conditions. So, it's no surprise that more than 70 percent of customers decline to purchase extended warranties when buying personal electronics, appliances, tools and other high-value items, according to Warranty Week.

Now there's a better option with Upsie, a new mobile technology that reinvents and demystifies the warranty experience, so consumers can protect the products they love at prices they can afford. Just in time for holiday shopping, Upsie removes the pressure and hassle from buying a warranty at retail, where sellers mark up the cost of coverage as high as 150 percent or more.

"We all want to protect our investments in the things we love, whether it's a new television, a stainless steel refrigerator, or that riding lawn mower you've always wanted," said Clarence Bethea, founder and CEO of Upsie. "The process of selecting and managing extended warranty coverage should be just as rewarding as shopping for the products, and that's the inspiration behind Upsie--to give customers more choice and control over the process, but also ensure it's a fun and trouble-free experience."

Upsie, a free mobile application available for iOS and Android devices in the iTunes and Google Play stores, is a dependable and transparent connection between warranty providers and customers. Warranty coverage information and pricing options can be browsed by product category or by using the in-app scanning feature to scan a barcode while shopping. Warranties can be purchased directly through the app, and coverage information, including receipts, is all stored for easier management and tracking.

Upsie features include:

    --  The same quality coverage that's sold at big-box stores or other
        providers, but at a 50 to 90 percent discount over traditional prices
        (depending on product).
    --  Reliable protection through Upsie's partner, New Leaf Service Contracts,
        backed by A-rated insurance providers and offering a consistently high
        level of customer service.
    --  A simple, intuitive interface for browsing, comparing and buying
        warranty plans for hundreds of products. Barcode scanning and search
        features allow users to compare and buy warranties while shopping,
        whether it's an in-store or online purchase.
    --  A 60-day window to purchase coverage on a new product, instead of a
        hurried point-of-purchase decision. Simply buy the coverage needed, and
        then scan the receipt for proof of purchase. It's that easy.
    --  No deductible on warranties, and only a $25 deductible for ADH coverage.
    --  Tracking and reminder features that catalog all warranty purchases,
        receipts and claim instructions, while sending prompt notifications of
        expiring coverage. Say goodbye to a hodgepodge of file folders and
        shoeboxes that get turned upside-down whenever a claim is made.
    --  Terms and conditions in plain English that clearly explain coverage
        limitations, claim processes and exclusions, so there are no surprises.
        In addition to protecting the products people love, Upsie also protects
        from legal mumbo-jumbo overload.
"Service businesses have moved from a 'customer is always right' mentality to a mantra of 'the customer is always in control,'" said Bethea. "Today, people use their mobile devices to get a ride, find a place to sleep for the night and even shop for groceries. Why, then, is the $40 billion warranty industry one of the last frontiers for an outdated business model? We believe Upsie is the next evolution of consumer empowerment through expanded choice, access and transparency."

All transaction information is stored via a secure, cloud-based payments system called Braintree--the same system used for other popular mobile transactions. This security allows users to initiate claims and manage other warranty-related needs via their mobile devices, without worrying about fraud or theft.

Upsie is now available in the Apple iTunes Store (for iOS 7xx or higher) or the Google Play store (for Android OS 4.1xx "Jelly Bean" or higher). To learn more about Upsie and the warranty industry, visit http://www.upsie.com.

About Upsie

With its low markup and customer-focused approach, Upsie is revolutionizing the warranty industry by demystifying everything from shopping to buying and storing warranty information.

New Generation of WatchGuard Firewalls Enable Mid-Size Enterprises to Keep Pace with Explosive Growth in Encrypted Traffic

Dramatic increase in security horsepower vaults WatchGuard's new Firebox® M400 and M500 firewalls past competition by up to 149 percent in encrypted traffic inspection and up to 61 percent in overall performance

Encrypted traffic expected to draw 50 percent of all malware by 2017; Advanced processing capacity critical to ensure IT pros can turn on all defense-in-depth security layers with confidence

SEATTLE, Nov. 24, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- WatchGuard® Technologies, a leader in multi-function firewalls, today announced next-generation firewall (NGFW) and unified threat management (UTM) appliances specifically engineered for mid-size and distributed enterprises, which are struggling to effectively and affordably secure networks in the face of explosive growth in bandwidth rates, connection speeds and encrypted traffic. The WatchGuard Firebox® M400 and M500 appliances, based on the latest Intel® Pentium(TM) and Intel® Celeron(TM) Processors, are up to 61 percent faster than competing solutions with all layers of the company's award winning defense-in-depth solutions turned on[i], and up to 149 percent faster performing HTTPS inspection[ii], ensuring enterprises never have to compromise network security for performance.

http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20141122/160374

Recent industry reports focus on the rise of encrypted traffic and the importance of addressing threats within those encrypted streams. According to a Gartner report entitled Security Leaders Must Address Threats from Rising SSL Traffic: "With more and more encrypted traffic, this trend is likely to expand rapidly. Gartner believes that, in 2017, more than half of the network attacks targeting enterprises will use encrypted traffic to bypass controls, up from less than five percent today.[iii]"

"The demands facing mid-size and distributed enterprise networks are the same as those faced by large enterprise networks just a few years ago," said Dave R. Taylor, vice president of corporate strategy and product management for WatchGuard Technologies. "With the growth in encrypted traffic, combined with Internet traffic increasing at 21 percent[iv] and connection speeds climbing at 42 percent[v], businesses are demanding firewalls that can keep pace. Our customers do not want to be forced to choose between protecting their networks and ensuring their end-users have the performance needed to do their jobs and with our new Firebox solutions, they don't have to."

All WatchGuard NGFW and UTM appliances run on WatchGuard's Fireware OS, which is built on the latest Intel® Pentium(TM) and Intel® Celeron(TM) Processors, allowing WatchGuard's firewall performance to continually scale. "Intel's processors give our firewall solutions the power needed to run all of their engines in parallel without causing a bottleneck in performance. Plus, it gives us 'head room' to add future engines as security trends demand," said Sin-Yaw Wang, WatchGuard's global vice president of engineering. "Our operating system is uniquely architected for speed."

"WatchGuard Firebox M400 and M500 appliances that utilize the latest generation of Intel® Core(TM) Processors for inspecting network traffic take advantage of new Intel® QuickAssist technology, which instantly provides a performance boost." said Steve Price, general manager of Intel's Communications Infrastructure Division. "Customers now have the ability to run their security systems at full throttle without sacrificing performance."

The WatchGuard Firebox M400 and M500 also provide the flexibility of two SFP (small form-factor pluggable) ports that can feature either 1 Gb copper or 1 Gb fiber connections, ensuring that firewalls can adapt to end-user environments. SFP transceivers are available as optional accessories. Both models feature the WatchGuard Fireware OS, v.11.9.4. This software version includes new features to simplify deep inspection of HTTPS traffic, allowing users to include names instead of numbers in their policy definitions. Click here to find out more.

Available as both a software product and a drop-in ruggedized appliance, Factory-Relay simplifies IoT implementation for remote and mobile access to industrial automation systems.

No longer the domain of just PCs and servers, IT organizations must be able to embrace and connect to industrial automation systems and bridge traditional "corporate" systems to "operations" systems. This has proven challenging for many organizations, regardless of size or budget. Enterprise IT policies designed to protect and secure corporate systems can be inappropriate for industrial machines. And many industrial machines were designed to run on isolated networks, beyond the reach of corporate networks or the public internet, making remote access with mobile devices impossible.

"Customers told us they needed a secure, scalable solution that would work with existing firewalls, routers, and IT policies, and was simple to deploy and use," said Chris Muench, CEO of C-Labs. "Factory-Relay makes it possible to connect industrial automation systems in a way that is compliant with enterprise IT policies, protecting data and ensuring efficient operations."

With an extensible architecture, Factory-Relay supports connections to leading industrial protocols, including the popular OPC-UA protocol. OPC protocols are supported by over 4,200 suppliers and more than 35,000 industrial products. Factory-Relay with support for OPC-UA will be showcased by The OPC Foundation at SPS IPC Drives 2014 in Nuremberg, Germany on November 25-27, 2014 at booth 7-180.

The hardware appliance version of Factory-Relay is built on a custom configuration of the Phoenix-Contact VL BPC 1000 Industrial PC, an IP20-rated fanless industrial PC in a small, compact form factor. "We are very excited about what C-Labs has to offer. C-Labs is building on a reliable, proven hardware platform to deliver their IoT solution to the industrial automation market," said Mike Rothwell, Director, Control and Industry Solutions at Phoenix-Contact.

    Candy Crush fan and actress, Molly Sims, was on hand to enjoy the magical Soda Street
event. Included in the Candy Crush line-up on Broadway were people with giant Candy heads
in the shape of those from the game, a Candy-shaped 'dog' being walked on a lead, a
'Soda-drenched' New York taxi cab, New York City workmen, who were responsible for
jack-hammering into the 'Soda pipe' and drenching the sugary scene with fizzy purple
'Soda' and a grand finale of a 20 foot giant illuminated Candy Bear which floated down
Broadway at Union Square.

    "New York is such a great setting to celebrate the launch of Candy Crush Soda Saga,"
said Alex Dale, Chief Marketing Officer at King. "It is a perfect backdrop to bring to
life the key elements of the new game, Candy Crush Soda Saga - Soda, Candy Bears, colour,
magic and lots of fun! We hope our players are as entertained by it as they are by our
games."

where giant floating Candies and a giant illuminated Candy Bear lit up the River Thames
under Tower Bridge, attended by recording artist, Nicole Scherzinger. The launch events in
New York and London will be followed by a high impact marketing campaign in major cities
across the world where city locations and transport hubs will enjoy Sodalicious makeovers.

    Candy Crush Soda Saga builds on the global popularity of the original game by King.
This next iteration of the Candy Crush franchise presents a new gaming experience brimming
with magical purple Soda, bringing fun new features to players who love the gameplay and
story of Candy Crush Saga but are hungry for new challenges.

CPI Introduces KoldLok 2-Post Grommets for Sealing the Base of Two-Post Racks

WESTLAKE VILLAGE, Calif., Nov. 20, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Chatsworth Products (CPI) introduces KoldLok® Two-Post Rack Grommets, which seal the base of two-post racks to prevent by-pass airflow, as well as contamination from air impurities, two concerns in data center cooling.

KoldLok 2-Post Grommets are designed to cover the opening between the base angles of CPI's Two-Post Standard Rack. It forms a tight seal around cables, allowing the cables to pass between the base angles of the rack, while preventing dust from collecting between the base angles and blocking airflow.

KoldLok 2-Post Grommets are made with durable sealing materials that will not break, stretch, tear or deform from repeated use. Its split design allows for easy installation on newly installed or existing Standard Racks by simply snapping onto the base angle of the rack.

For more information about KoldLok 2-Post Grommets, watch CPI's video <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VJpvu868Hw0&feature=share&list=PL1AFE9702389A9A4B> or visit theproduct page <http://www.chatsworth.com/products/rack-systems/two-post-rack-accessories/?camid=pressrelease&language=en-cn&date=111914&content=koldlok&source=prnewswire&cta=productpage>.

New Facial Styling Tools are Designed to Emphasize Comfort and Precision for the Ultimate Shave

NEWARK, N.J., Nov. 25, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Panasonic Consumer Electronics Company today announced the addition of three new men's electric shavers and two new trimmers to its line of men's grooming tools. Combining comfort-focused design and innovative features, the new models are uniquely fit to give users a remarkably individual grooming experience.

For the ultimate close shave, the new Panasonic ES-RT97-S Arc3(TM), ES-RT77-S Arc3 and ES-RT47-S Arc3, 3-Blade Wet/Dry Electric Shavers, feature a 3-Blade Foil Cutting System to capture stubborn or hard to reach hairs.  With Ultra-share 30-degree Nanotech(TM) inner blades, these models cut hair at the root for the utmost smoothness.  The high-speed, Arc3 inner-blade system is driven by a quiet yet powerful 10,000 rpm motor for quicker, more efficient shaving.  And, each new model is equipped with a sharp, 45-degree slide-up trimmer, for precision trimming of sideburns or mustaches.  The Flexible Pivoting Head conforms to the neck and jaw area, further highlighting each shaver's ability to deliver a uniquely personal shave while also enhancing comfort.   

Each new Arc3 can easily transform into a trim tool with a versatile, five-setting comb attachment that snaps securely onto the shaver head for quick, easy trimming and touchups of mustaches or sideburns with setting lengths from 1.0 to 7.0mm.  The wet/dry operation also offers unparalleled convenience with the option of shaving in the shower or solely with foam or gel.  The ES-RT97-S Arc3 features an Automatic Clean & Charge Station and the ES-RT77-S Arc3 has been designed with a sleek, metal body and rubberized grip for enhanced comfort and easy handling. 

The new Panasonic ER-GB80-S All-in-One Beard, Body and Hair Trimmer is the ideal accessory for grooming and styling both facial and body hair.  Three comb attachments - the Beard/Mustache Comb Attachment (1-10mm), the Hair Comb Attachment (11-20mm) and the Body Comb Attachment - makes for a versatile grooming tool that can be used on both facial and body hair.  A slide-up precision trimmer provides enhanced accuracy for more detailed styling from head to toe.   

Its counterpart, the new ER-GB60-K Beard and Hair Trimmer comes with two comb attachments making it an ideal tool for facial grooming.  Both trimmers are equipped with 45-degree blades that delivers a more exact cut and adjustable dial with 39 settings (in increments of 0.5mm) to easily trim hair to the desired length.  A water drain provides easy maintenance and a rubberized grip and ergonomic design help facilitate a seamless experience with these wet/dry operated trimmers.

Each of Panasonic's new Shavers and Trimmers emphasize ease and precision with features focused on design and portability. The models are 100% washable and are equipped with hypo-allergenic stainless steel blades.  Long-lasting battery power provides up to 50 minutes of cordless operation so you can take the grooming tools on-the-go.  And, the new shavers and trimmers are equipped with universal voltage - perfect for travel abroad. 

The new Panasonic ES-RT77 and ES-RT47-S Arc3(TM) 3-Blade Wet/Dry Electric Shavers, ER-GB80 All-in-One Trimmer and ER-GB60 Beard, Mustache and Hair Electric Trimmer are now available at http://www.panasonic.com for the following MSRP's: Panasonic ES-RT77-S Arc3 3-Blade Wet/Dry Electric Shaver and Trimmer MSRP $129.99; Panasonic ER-GB80-S All-in-One Beard, Body and Hair Trimmer MSRP: $99.99; Panasonic ER-GB60-K All-in-One Beard, Mustache and Hair Trimmer MSRP: $79.99.

Poieo3D Printer Brings Tomorrow's Technology Home Today

Family-friendly, Child-safe, Proven Technology at an Affordable Price!

TORONTO, Nov. 19, 2014 /PRNewswire/ - 3D printing is finally ready for prime time, play time and study time! Designed BY families FOR families, the Poieo3D Printer aims to make this exciting new technology as commonplace, worry-free and affordable as a microwave oven. Currently featured on Kickstarter, the Poieo3D Printer is the first and only such featured device to offer a one-year warranty, FREE lifetime online education, and a family-friendly, child-safe design.

(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20141119/159621)

The Toronto, Ontario-based R&D team behind the Poieo3D Printer made safety a priority in all aspects of the design. The elegantly rounded, Polycarbonate-ABS casing has no distracting buttons or screens, no sharp edges or fiddly clamps, no hot plates or wayward lasers to burn tiny hands or damage inquisitive eyes. Instead, a large window illuminated by a cool-running white LED showcases each 3D-printed creation as it comes into being, layer by paper-thin layer.

"Sure there are competitive products with flashy laser cutter attachments," explains Tom Zelenka (M.B.A., P.Eng.), one of the co-founders of Poieo3D.com, "but as a parent do you really want that in your home? I don't know how many times my son has reached for a part while it's printing. If that was a laser cutter he would not have a hand!"

The Poieo3D Printer is environmentally-friendly as well. The printing process employs filaments of biodegradable print material derived from renewable plant-based resources. Unlike petroleum-based plastics, this material does NOT give off foul-smelling fumes when the printer is used, making it ideal for home/classroom use.

"We have learned so much along the way through this journey and want other families and kids to benefit," states Jeff Alford, co-founder of Poieo3D.com. "Our goal is to create an on-line educational community of learning with training modules, instructional videos, projects for family, friends, kids, and school teachers." You can't put a price on that kind of knowledge!

The Kickstarter campaign runs until the end of 2014.  Poieo3D Printer Purchasers are eligible for special discounts with the the Early Bird at only CAD$649! (US$571 at the current 0.88 exchange rate)

For more information on the revolutionary, groundbreaking, family-friendly Poieo3D Printer, visit the home page:  http://www.poieo3d.com/ and the Kickstarter campaign page: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/poieo3d/poieo3d-a-friendly-3d-printer-by-families-for-fami
