Designed to flow easily from causal to professional office environments, the Staad's refined masculine look delivers an immediate fashion upgrade.

San Francisco, California - WaterField Designs today introduces its long-anticipated backpack - The Staad. Designed to flow easily from causal to professional office environments, the Staad's refined masculine look delivers an immediate fashion upgrade. Its stream-lined exterior and thoughtfully-organized interior snugly secure a Mac or commensurate laptop and an iPad or tablet plus accessories - all within a narrow profile. WaterField Designs has been designing and manufacturing innovative laptop sleeves, bags and cases for digital gear in San Francisco since 1998.

The Staad's slim tapered form keeps contents compact and optimizes capacity. A handsome World War II-era buckle - once used to instantly access ammunition - can be opened with a "quick flick." Plush, padded interior pockets keep a laptop and tablet secure and the main compartment organized, while angled, zippered, side pockets stash small necessities like keys and an iPhone 5s. A quick-grab leather handle provides an additional carrying option. Neoprene cushioning and moisture-wicking material keep the wearer comfortable and dry.

"This backpack will kick your style up a notch," explained Gary Waterfield, company founder. "We've finally found a design that works in the office as well as outside of work. No excessive straps dangling, no bulky outside pockets, just a clean, finished look. And it holds your laptop and tablet securely, along with power cords and more for those all-day meetings."

The Staad BackPack - ($319 - $329)
* Body: Water-resistant tan waxed-cotton canvas or customized, 1050 denier black ballistic nylon

Dhaka, Bangladesh - iThinkdiff today is proud to announce the release of German Dictionary 9.0, an update to their popular bilingual dictionary app for iOS devices. With German Dictionary, users can search both German and English words. This dictionary features a large database for English and German words. Version 9.0 specially redesigned for iOS 7 running devices. In this version user interaction, flash card and word of the day feature also updated.

The leading iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch dictionary for bi-directional translation between English and German now extremly works well in iOS 7. Lead programmer Mahmud Ahsan said, "Now the dictionary is completely redesigned for iOS 7 and also iOS 6 running devices, both students and travelers can use German Dictionary to translate nearly anything from German into English or vice versa. Over 120 million people speak German, and it is my hope that this dictionary will make communication between German speakers and English speakers easier than ever before."

The new interface for iOS 7 running devices made it easy to use the core functionality. It is trivially easy to look up written German words and find their English translations. "Wikipedia lists German script as one of the most popular writing systems in the world," continues Mr. Ahsan, "so it was important for us to help users look up words quickly without having to transliterate them into Latin [English] characters first."

* Pronunciation of English & German word help students and travelers say words correctly

"German Dictionary was designed for both students and travelers. You can use it as a phrase book for a short trip, or you can use it to learn a language for life. And, at only $4.99 in the App Store, it's cheaper than either a paperback phrase book or even the simplest study guide. A free version with in-app purchase options is also available." said Mr. Ahsan.

German Dictionary's core translation function works offline. But when the user's device is online, several extra features become available, such as an online scoring system which helps students earn Achievements for using app features, plus a vocabulary Leaderboard which rewards the most effective students.

English words link to their Wiktionary page to help users discover the history behind words, and built-in app connections let users send their translations to other apps on their device, such as Facebook, Twitter, Email, and SMS.

All current iPhones, iPads, and iPod touches are supported. Devices with a Retina display will find German Dictionary automatically optimizes itself for high-resolution text display so users don't need to squint.

New Language App Promotes Social Development in Young Learners - Published on 10/08/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Astroloquiz is a new app produced by award-winning app creator, Dave Wingler of Together Learning Media Inc. The app helps generate serious discussion of individual personalities and encourages social development in children. Astroloquiz is designed to help promote discussion of personality differences while teaching personality adjectives. Ingeniously promoting literacy, Astroloquiz piques the minds of young learners and breaks down barriers to learning mundane vocabulary.

Charleston, South Carolina - Astroloquiz is a new app produced by award-winning app creator, Dave Wingler of Together Learning Media Inc. The app helps generate serious discussion of individual personalities and encourages social development in children. Astroloquiz is designed to help promote discussion of personality differences while teaching personality adjectives. Ingeniously promoting literacy, Astroloquiz piques the minds of young learners and breaks down barriers to learning mundane vocabulary.

The content present in Astroloquiz is mapped directly to Common Core State Standards for reading and writing and can be used for discussion, writing and research. The app though, is equally entertaining in settings outside of education.

There is a strong educational benefit from this app that can also be called edutainment at its best. By taking the 12 signs of the zodiac and using them as the basis for creating thought and discussion about personality types, it is a win-win for literacy advocates and those wishing to bring discussions about personal actions and repercussions in schools grappling with issues from bullying to literacy.

Children aged 10-16 are encouraged to think about their own personality and their reactions to everyday situations that help to discover what they are made of. Dave Wingler, Product Manager and Director of Together Learning Media says the app was designed to clearly illustrate how people engage and interact with each other. "Making these observations and reflecting on them is a highly important skill for social development early on in life. Astroloquiz, though not a conventional topic in education, is relevant to the interest of young learners and provides an ideal catalyst for engaging discussions with empathy at its core. As an educator, myself, I can say teaching material that is relevant to my students' interest goes a long way in the classroom."

Keep.com declares era of Commerce 4.0, with people - not retailers - Published on 10/08/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Keep.com today declares era of "Commerce 4.0," with people - not retailers - in control of what gets discovered, what trends, and ultimately what sells. New Keep.com iOS App and site enhancements are tailor-made for new wave of trend shoppers; price alerts and shoppability of trends from Instagram, TV and top tastemakers. Keep.com claims to be the "most beautiful shopping experience" on the web, and now on iOS devices.

Based in New York - At the start of the 2013 shopping season, the crowd-sourced, social commerce platform Keep.com is launching a new iOS App and tools designed for a new era it calls Commerce 4.0* an age of people-powered commerce in which consumers - and not traditional merchandisers - are driving product selection and setting trends, using all products available on the web, not just the contents of a four-walled warehouse. The Keep Shopping App for iOS has launched, and offers tools tailor-made for the next wave of online shoppers, such as price alerts, and ways to instantly purchase looks from Instagram, TV and top tastemakers.

"As we mark our first year in the marketplace, we're observing an exciting dynamic we've coined, 'Commerce 4.0.' Product popularity and trends should no longer be dictated by traditional gatekeepers like retail merchandisers," said Scott Kurnit, Founder and CEO of Keep. "The Internet has put people in control of nearly every industry to-date ... except commerce. That's changing. We're seeing that the most exciting products surface from a new kind of merchandiser: people who are passionate about products. We've designed Keep for the Commerce 4.0 era by equipping shoppers with their own ways to discover the best of the best, and easily purchase for themselves. The reign of traditional retailers with business restrictions dictating merchandise decisions is over. It's about time the Internet was used to its full capacity for commerce."

Keep lays claim to being the most beautiful shopping experience on the web today.

MaryAnn Bekkedahl, President and co-founder added, "Keep boasts simplicity in presentation of great products, lovingly placed into personal collections and presented through the lens of what's trending and what's featured." She adds, "We've deliberately avoided using commonplace annoyances such as forced sign-in, display ads, promoted products or spam-a-friend features. A good shopping experience should be intuitive and should not require video tutorials, gimmicks, points, badges, or virtual rewards. Quite frankly, Keep is the simplest, most beautiful shopping experience on web and mobile devices today."

Keep gives shoppers a way to discover and buy trends as they happen - on Instagram, TV and from popular tastemakers.

Instagram has become the fashion influencers&#39; medium of choice to post products and looks, but you can't click or buy directly from Instagram. Keep has solved this via a new feature that makes the most popular Instagram posts shoppable - at keep.com/AsSeenOnInstagram. In addition, a new Keep feature tracks and helps shoppers buy the popular looks on TV, along with contributing editor Dana Weiss (aka Possessionista).

Keep introduces price alerts that arrive automatically on Kept products.

Even the trendiest products have even greater appeal when they're on sale. Keep knows this, and alerts its members when a product they've Kept has a price reduction.

All of these new features are available at Keep and also in a new Keep Shopping app for iOS devices.

Discover amazing trends, curated by tastemakers from across the web, easily shoppable within the Keep app.

Bekkedahl states, "It's simple. If you want to shop the most beautifully presented, lovingly curated merchandise on the web today, shop Keep."

Where'd you find that? Keep.com

Keep leads the way into what they're defining as "Commerce 4.0", where goods from across the web are collected into one place with the sole filter of being curated by people with passion for products.

Keep is a shopping environment of unparalleled product mix aiming to appeal to those who seek individuality in a retail sea of sameness.

* Keep defines Commerce 3.0 as shopping enhanced by social sharing - which is now standard for all retailers. Commerce 2.0 is defined as simply selling products online at retailer.com, and Commerce 1.0 as traditional in-store brick-and-mortar shopping.
