New York, New York – Polymash Inc. is very excited to announce the release of the FilmOneFest app. The FilmOneFest app is a collection of one-minute films from filmmakers all around the world with supporting stories, artists’ statements and interviews. Furthermore, the app will continue to accept ongoing submissions to FilmOneFest throughout the year, culminating in the selection of one-minute films to be shown at each year’s festival.

The FilmOneFest Festival:
FilmOneFest is an annual outdoor film festival that shows approximately 60 one-minute films from all over the world. FilmOneFest is in its third year. Last year, almost 1000 people gathered on the lawns, laid down their blankets, stretched out their lawn chairs, opened up their coolers and joined in celebration on a balmy July summer’s evening to watch one-minute films under the stars next to the marina at Atlantic Highlands, NJ, USA.

App Features:
* One-minute films and videos from filmmakers all around world
* Documented interviews with filmmakers about what inspires them and what excites them about the one-minute film format
* Artists’ statements accompanying many of the films
* Past award winning films from FilmOneFest
* 2011 award winners, announced at FilmOneFest July 16, 2011
* Links to Facebook, Twitter and websites of many of the artists
* Selection Panel sharing their passions about film and what they look for in their selection
* Growing collection of one-minute films for submission to the annual FilmOneFest
* Information about the host township and its Arts Council: Atlantic Highlands, NJ, USA, located 30 minutes south of New York City by fast ferry service.

The Experience:
FilmOneFest app is more than an app showing one-minute films. To provide additional interest, members of the Selection Panel and filmmakers were interviewed about their inspirations and visions. Their self-expression adds increased appreciation to the one-minute film art form. Hearing directly from the creators themselves reveals a whole new set of meanings. It’s powerful and expansive.

The Vision:
The continued vision for the FilmOneFest app is to accept and curate one-minute films all year round, culminating in the acclaimed FilmOneFest every year in July in Atlantic Highlands, NJ, USA. To the best of the developer’s knowledge, the FilmOneFest app is:

* The first iPad app that curates submissions of one-minute films all year round for final selection to a festival

Seoul, South Korea – EnGIS Communications, a specialist in the creation of sophisticated, high-end navigational software, has launched the newest version of its popular Gogo Navigator USA & CAN app for iPhone and iPod touch. Version 1.2 of the popular app features real-time Live Traffic update capabilities; making Gogo Navigator – known for its rich and user-friendly interface – an even more powerful and user-tailored navigational tool.

Gogo Navigator USA & CAN has steadily placed in the top 50 of its category at the App Store – where version 1.2 is now available for $29.99 (USD). Live Traffic, powered by Clear Channel Total Traffic Network and now available for use with Gogo Navigator 1.2, provides up-to-the-minute, real-time traffic information including in-depth accident reports, lane closures and colored traffic flow speeds. Live Traffic can reroute users based on incoming accident information resulting in a more efficient and effective navigational experience for users.

With its turn-by-turn 3D navigation, text-to-speech (TTS) guidance, signpost display, and millions of places of interest, Gogo Navigator USA & CAN for iPhone, version 1.2, is now one of the most comprehensive, useful and affordable navigational tools of its kind to be found anywhere in the world. According to EnGIS Vice President Martin Carr, Gogo Navigator USA & CAN 1.2 is more than a product it is a testament to the growing importance of listening to and trusting feedback offered by users.

“Although Gogo Navigator was already a great product, the feedback we get from customers is a direct influence on our decision-making; we are 100 percent committed to listening to our community, interacting with them, hearing all of their suggestions – and getting it right for them,” said Carr. “That’s what we have done here, with Gogo Navigator 1.2. The users have spoken, and we have listened. We have updated this product with an amazing array of new features – including the availability of comprehensive and real-time traffic information. For anyone who wants to be up-to-speed when it comes to navigating the United States and Canada, Gogo Navigator 1.2 is, literally, all that you need. We are thankful for all the user input; it has helped us to craft one of the most convenient and reliable navigational tools in the world.”

Gogo Navigator USA & CAN, which has previously climbed as high as No. 37 in the App Store’s Navigation category, was already renowned for its OpenGL graphics technology – which allows for remarkable, deeply-textured 3D landmark display and visual imaging capacity. The app’s existing suite of features includes precision voice-guidance, advanced POI searching, auto zooming on intersection, speed limit warning, customizable fuel cost calculator and Integrated Navigation Guidance while music is playing (choose to mute or fade music during guidance). Gogo Navigator, version 1.2, does not require an internet connection (as map data is stored locally in the mobile device) and, as such, users are not required to pay additional connectivity fees for use.

New Features:
* Live Traffic now available as in-app purchase
* Pedestrian Navigation mode added for city navigation by foot
* Quit button added on Main Menu screen (multitasking setting is now removed from Settings)
* Button Layout: you can set up Gogo Navigator for right-handed or left-handed operation
* Upside down GUI applied (Users may now use Gogo app when placing the phone upside down, scenario example: when placing the phone in the cup holder, the in-car power plug can be placed facing upwards)
* Improvements for matching addresses from the ‘iPhone Contacts’ to the map database
* Car symbol for the 3D Map has been moved farther up the screen to allow users to view current and previous street(s) more easily

Route information labels (Time & Distance values) at bottom of screen:
* Font size increased
* Color codes added (gold for distance, blue for time and white for speed)
* You may now use any choice of distance and time information in either field option
* Speed (current driving speed) added as display option
* Label texts have been shortened to reduce space on screen
* The ‘second’ value is removed from the ETA time

Updates:
* Speed limit icon is repositioned to top-right of screen
* The scale bar is hidden automatically three seconds after the user zooms in or zooms out
* Subsequent Turn Arrow, route guidance mode, is now only shown when two maneuvers are in close succession (This 2nd turn indicator is now synced with the voice ‘then guidance’. E.g. Turn left, then Turn Right)
* User Manual available on website has been updated to explain changes

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad
* Requires iOS 3.0 or later
* 1.83 GB

Pricing and Availability:
Gogo Navigator USA & CAN 1.2 is currently available at the App Store in the Navigation category, for a purchase price of $29.99 (USD). Live Traffic is available via an in-app purchase of $8.99 (USD).

Ripley, United Kingdom – Arten Science today announced the R10 Security and Encryption Suite Family Pack. The pack includes the Award Winning R10Cipher, cuteCipher and our Security eBook. The license allows up to six installations of the Mac, Windows or Linux editions of both software packages. The pack is priced at a remarkable 30 GBP ($48 USD), and for 29th and 30th June there is an additional 30% Discount (on all our products) with the Coupon Code: ALL30JUNE

Arten Science security products have long been the sensible choice for keeping your private documents, well, private. R10Cipher has also been used very successfully in the ‘one to many’ situation, for example a teacher who sends grades or assignments to students via email. The teacher has an R10Cipher license and the students can download a free ‘Encrypt Only’ edition of R10Cipher.

This works very well but there is now another choice; Arten Science has made available an early Beta version of R10Cipher on the Web for use for Decryption only. Not only is this quicker than downloading a copy of R10Cipher, but as a web Application it will run on any platform, even mobile platforms such as the iOS and Android phones and tablet devices that are so popular. This removes the last barrier to using R10Cipher for all your encryption requirements.

More about R10Cipher and cuteCipher:
Many people do not realise that sending an email is the equivalent of sending a postcard, it’s contents are easily visible. For many companies, individuals and markets this is totally unacceptable and with the potential complexity and setup issues often found with the available Public Key Encryption systems it makes sense to encrypt using the R10 Security Suite.

R10Cipher takes text or files and encrypts them using up to 384 bit Blowfish encryption. These files can be Word files, Excel files, MP3 files – almost any kind of file. These encrypted files can be copied elsewhere, even to a different operating system and unencrypted by anyone in possession of the Shared Secret that was used for the encryption.

Your text can be encrypted and sent as an email directly from R10Cipher, only the recipient in possession of the Shared Secret can read the contents. If encrypting a file the encrypted file can be stored or sent in the full knowledge that it’s contents are not visible to anyone without access to R10Cipher and the Shared Secret.

Decryption can be carried out just by double clicking the encrypted file and entering the Shared Secret. R10Cipher supports batch encryption by ‘drag and drop’ to make encryption fast and painless, even when dealing with dozens of files. As R10Cipher does not require installation you can, for example, copy the Mac, Windows and Linux versions of R10Cipher to a USB drive along with your encrypted documents and files. Your documents and files are secure, but available whenever and wherever you require them.

In addition to individuals, labs, schools, universities and businesses, Arten Science security products are the choice of Independent Financial Advisors and Accountants in the Uk. Professionals who need to abide by a ‘treaty of care’ find that Arten Science security products help them look after their clients interests by using encryption to protect their private information and ensure that if identity theft happens, it happens elsewhere.

Feature Highlights:
* Cross Platform, Mac OSX, Windows XP, Vista and Windows 7, Linux, Web
* Fast / Secure 384 Bit Blowfish Encryption
* Lightweight – No Installation Necessary
* Launch from a USB Key if required
* Twitter Integration on Mac OSX
* Batch (Automatically Split a Large Message) Twittering on Mac OSX
* Full Key Management Ability
* Extremely Simple to Use
* Drag and drop multiple files to Encrypt
* Decrypt a file by double clicking
* Encrypt on one Operating System, Decrypt on another
* No System Alterations
* Online Help

* Activity Log Saved to Database Option
* Extensive User Manual

Testimonials:
“R10Cipher is a fantastic cross platform tool which has given us the peace of mind that our patient sensitive research data can be transmitted electronically in a secure manner on site or with collaborators around the world. The ability to encrypt and attach files to emails or simply encrypt the email text between Apple Macs and Windows PCs without the need for complicated software installations means that our users are happy to use this great bit of software. The developer’s proactive approach to their software development requesting and rapidly incorporating users feedback has turned a good encryption tool into and excellent one.” – Paul McGrath, Computer Manager, Cancer Research UK Clinical Centre

“For NetFoos I am lucky enough to travel around the USA and parts of Europe to bring live streaming foosball tournaments to the foosball community. For the live streaming there is a lot of information needed to keep the server running and secure. Now, while on the road with R10Cipher, receiving this information from the home office is much easier as we can simply encrypt and email it while feeling confident that our data remains private. Although we are constantly finding new uses for the software, this one capability has made R10Cipher a great investment for us.” – Mark Winker, NetFoos

“I have a thing for encryption programs and most sadly seem to be snake oil and try and hype on the fear factor. I was impressed that you have chosen not to go the way of the ‘Military Level Encryption’ or ‘Not Even the CIA Can Break’ road and simply give examples of what your product can do. Which is why after a quick play with your product, reading all the documentation and the ever important look on google for any negative things, I have purchased a couple of licences and may get more before the end of the Zot. Good work.” – Kevin

“My Sony USB Microvault is so much easier than lugging my laptop through airport security, yet again. The nightmare of the lost or stolen USB stick is only too real, with the Staff Salary Reviews and the Acquisition Financials modeled in embarrassing detail. I use R10Cipher for Mac as a simple and reliable way of exchanging financial models and private placement memorandums across platforms as well as for secure storage on my USB sticks and portable hard drives. Simple, reliable and easy to use.” – Karl Mattingly, Partner, slowCapital

New Rochelle, New York – Revolutionary War 1.1 for iOS is the latest release from MultiEducator’s History on the Go Series. This incredibly educational and engaging mobile program makes use of the newest iPad technology to bring the historic events alive for iPad, iPhone and iPod touch users. The program covers an incredible variety of topics all accessible by simple to use touch menu screens.

Major battles and events of the war are covered in depth with a short and lengthier text entry. Drawings, paintings and maps illustrate the entries. Most of the battles include multimedia presentations of the battle. Several first-hand accounts of the battles as well as reports by General Washington about the battle to the Continental Congress are also included.

One section focuses on Famous Stories and Sayings of the Revolutionary War. Each of these stories and words- such “We have only begun to fight” includes both an illustrated text entry on the true events surrounding the story or quote, as well as a multimedia presentation on the event.

Other sections include: over 200 biographies of participants in the war and the signers of the Declaration; the complete text of the Journals of the Continental Congress that tell the story of the deliberation of the Congress as it struggled with the decision to declare independence; a diary of the Revolution; historic correspondence between John and Abigail Adams; details of the economy of America of the period; as well as a section identifying who were the Americans of that key generation. An updated release of the program to be released later this summer will include a section of simulation so student of all ages can remake historic decisions.

Revolutionary War contains over 100 high quality drawing and illustration (all of which you can zoom into), one hour of multimedia presentations, over 40 high quality maps; and dozens of first-hand accounts. These resources combine to bring the story of America’s dramatic fight for freedom to life.

More about the History on the Go Series
Revolutionary War is the latest in the History on the Go Series. Other available applications cover the Civil War, the Constitution, and World History. Each is an application containing a diverse, comprehensive multimedia collection of the most important documents in the history of America. More than just an eBook with links, each program gives users an enhanced visual, interactive audio and visual education experience, using the unique capabilities of the Apple iPad technology. They provide instant access to hundreds of original documents, photographs, maps, video, and presentations.

Developer and Historian Marc Schulman explains that in an eBook, you typically read text sequentially. With simple links you can open up photos and maybe even a video. However, it is still a pretty linear process. But with the developing Apple iPad technology, the opportunities for exploring new dimensions is multiplied and expanded in many new ways. These capabilities have all been incorporated into the Apple products.

“The ability to expand photos and move sideways has been included in the smaller handheld iPhone and iPod touch,” Schulman explains. “It has been clearly optimized on the iPad. You have to experience what it is like to zoom photos, turn directions, watch screaming high definition color videos with special effects and high fidelity headphones all on your lap top.”

Schulman believes that this has significant implications to teaching and to education. “It brings education alive in ways people have not imagined. This has phenomenal implications to creative publishers and educators. The total experience is now what really matters.”

Apple iPad technology enables a rich multi-media visual and audio educational experience using hundreds of the most important documents and events in history

Publisher Marc Schulman believes that the enhanced visual and zooming technologies built into the Apple iPad are adding whole new interactive dimensions to the teaching of history and other subjects of interest.

In Revolutionary War, Marc demonstrates these new capabilities. “As an example – let’s just say you are reading the text summarizing a specific battle. A link allows you to explore a multimedia presentation on the battle. You can bring up maps of the geography and even link to maps of the terrain or of the battle itself day by day. You can link right to an account of the battle from the perspective of General George Washington. Then maybe take a side trip to read a report written by the British. Then if you want more there will be anything between 20 to 100 photos of the battle- all of which are high quality and which you can zoom into and really explore up close, literally inch by inch. Then with a click, you can watch a video and listen to the sounds of the guns and artillery and the screams of men fighting on the battlefield.”

Located in New Rochelle, New York, MultiEducator is a privately funded company founded in 1994 by Amy Erani and Marc Schulman. MultiEducator’s goal is to enable students to learn history in a completely new way. Throughout MultiEducator’s years in business, the company has continuously expanded its services and product line. In the summer of 2008, the company sold its History Shopping site to concentrate on the content part of the business. It then started its newest division developing software for the Apple iPhone and iPod touch. In October 2008, it released its first iPhone application, Formulator. As one of the earliest producers of multimedia software, MultiEducator has been providing schools and the general public with rich, compelling history software for almost two decades. Marc Schulman has been an Apple Developer since 1982. He developed a few of the very early Mac products.. “Back in those days the biggest problem was distribution. I remember a time when Apple would hold conventions for Mac and any developer who had a product could exhibit for free. When I heard about the Iphone products I thought back at some of those early products, and an opportunity to develop some similar products.” For the past 28 years he has been developing software products including a line of Multimedia history CD and now DVD Roms. He calls himself a Multimedia Historian. Copyright (C) 2008-2011 MultiEducator. All Rights Reserved.

Boston, Massachusetts – Independent developer James Hollender has released version 2.4 of his iNutrient suite of 8 apps for iPhone, iPod touch and iPad: Vitamin K (K1, K1D & K2), iCarbs, iProteins, iCholesterol (dietary cholesterol), iFiber, iSatFat, iSugars & iCals. The database capability allows for keeping track of the user’s personal nutrient intake. Each app allows users to easily determine the nutrient quantity in hundreds of different food servings, with information derived from the USDA National Nutrient Database for Standard Reference. The new version provides backup/restore of the user’s personal nutrient intake data.

Version 2.0 added the capability to record intake by specifying the number of servings. Information is maintained by the built-in database for a full year before it is automatically deleted.

Version 2.1 provided the capability to revise the number of servings for any recorded nutrient intake item.

Version 2.2 provided the capability for changing the date for any of the recorded nutrient intake items. This will be especially helpful if the user forgets to capture the data on the same day it was ingested.

Version 2.3 allowed the user to delete accidentally entered nutrient intake data.

Version 2.4 now provides the capability to make backup copies of the database containing the user’s personal intake data, and then to restore it if needed. The backup is done via either email or using the iTunes app on a Mac or PC. The restore is done using the iTunes app.

Description of the individual Nutrient Apps:

The Vitamin K App:
For persons taking blood thinning medications such as Coumadin(R) or Warfarin (also known as Jantoven, Marfarin, Lawarin, Waran and Marevan), then the Vitamin K app is one that will truly be used on a regular basis. Most lists providing information on the content of vitamin K in foods contain only a limited number of foods, and often they don’t indicate the serving size. It is important to understand that the goal isn’t to completely avoid foods with vitamin K, but rather to keep relatively constant the amount of vitamin K ingested each day, so the amount of Coumadin(R) prescribed can work effectively. This amount can be different for every person using blood thinning medications. This is why doctors require occasional blood tests to indicate whether the dosage needs to be adjusted.

All too often it is heard that Coumadin users should stay away from dark green leafy vegetables, but there are a host of other foods containing vitamin K. Even the dark green leafy vegetables contain varying amounts of vitamin K. Further, each food has its own characteristics and sometimes whether it is fresh, frozen or canned can make a difference in the vitamin K content. The important thing to understand is Coumadin(R) users may be inadvertently ingesting something which they think doesn’t contain any vitamin K when in fact it does. A good example would be carrots, which contain varying amounts of vitamin K. A single baby carrot has only 0.9 mcg (very low), while a cup of canned carrot juice contains 36.6 mcg (high).

The iCarbs app provides information about foods and how they are rated for carbohydrate content. This is provided as a means to assist in deciding which foods to eat. Bodybuilders probably want to have a high intake of carbohydrates (carbs), but on the other hand diabetics need to make sure they don’t exceed their recommended daily amount.

The iProteins App provides information about foods and how they are rated for protein content. This is provided as a means to assist in deciding which foods to eat. Bodybuilders probably want to have a high intake of protein, while Vegetarians and Vegans want to make sure they are getting enough protein in their diet.

The iCholesterol – Dietary Cholesterol App is great for those working towards healthy eathing. Knowing the amount of cholesterol in the foods available can be extremely helpful.

The iFiber App – For those who are trying to keep their weight down, eating fiber can be extremely beneficial.

The iSat Fat App – This is the app for those who have been directed by their physician to limit their Saturated Fat intake.

The iSugars App – Knowing the amount of sugars in foods available for consumption can be extremely helpful in working towards healthy eating.

The iCals App – For those who are trying to keep their weight down, knowing how many calories are in food servings can be a great help.

Wuxi, China – QHHD Inc., a development studio that focuses on web, PC, and mobile game creation, has today announced the recent successful update of Twin-Ball for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch devices running on iOS 4.0 or later. Twin-Ball 1.1 throws players into the fun and dangerous world of the chuzzles – a pair of conjoint tag-team heroes – for some uniquely quirky adrenaline-pumping arcade action. Players are tasked with guiding their chuzzles from level to level while picking up enough stars to achieve victory! Newly released, Twin-Ball version 1.1 is currently available on the Apple App Store for $0.99 (USD) in the Games category.

Twin-Ball 1.1 is a fast paced and boasts the sort of kinetic arcade action engaged mobile gaming enthusiasts are sure to love. The game’s newly added enhancements include the repair of a minor map bug and upgrades to enemy movements. Additionally, QHHD Inc. also disclosed that future updates to add an additional ten levels and a new enemy are in the works too. Players control their two chuzzles by tapping on the screen. Each time they tap on chuzzles stops moving, and the other started to swing around. Gamers will easily learn that the quicker and better their tapping skills get, the more agile and effective their chuzzle tag-team will become.

Comprised of increasingly more challenging levels, Twin-Ball 1.1 is in every way a classically structured arcade game. The game’s user interface is simple to understand and extremely intuitive to utilize. The game’s controls are equally simple to master, yet are responsive enough to ensure players can focus on winning rather than simply playing. Twin-Ball 1.1 is a unique spin on the “Grab all stars and avoid all monsters” arcade paradigm, and one which is almost as zany as it is addicting and exciting to play!
