Vitamin-R brings powerful time boxing productivity app to iPhone - Published on 06/11/14

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

publicspace has brought Vitamin-R, its powerful time boxing solution, to the iPhone. Vitamin-R breaks down large, vaguely defined tasks into a series of short time slices of between 10 and 30 minutes, each with specific, easily reachable and actionable objectives - helping to improve focus and overcome procrastination. Vitamin-R for Mac has long been the most powerful Pomodoro Technique-inspired tool on Mac OS X and is now finally available on iOS.

Luxembourg City, Luxembourg - publicspace has brought Vitamin-R, its powerful time boxing solution in the Pomodoro Technique tradition, from the Mac to the iPhone. Vitamin-R creates optimal conditions for your brain by structuring your work into short bursts of distraction-free, highly-focused activity alternating with opportunities for renewal, reflection and intuition. The built-in task logging and analysis features create positive momentum towards productivity by providing you with visible feedback on your progress and achievements.

Slices Up Daunting Tasks into Manageable Chunks:
* Vitamin-R breaks down large, vaguely defined tasks into a series of short "time slices" of between 10 and 30 minutes, each with specific, easily reachable and actionable objectives. During these time slices it keeps you focused on accomplishing only this one objective and provides you with mechanisms for dealing with interruptions, poor concentration, etc.

Gets You Started:
* Vitamin-R concentrates on getting you started allowing you to break through the resistance of procrastination and create a positive feedback loop of small achievements that get you closer to your ultimate aims. You will experience less stress caused by looming deadlines and a lack of clear direction, thus enabling you to enjoy guilt-free breaks that allow your intuition and creativity to emerge.

Keeps You Focused:
* Vitamin-R features an array of highly configurable visual, audio and speech notifications that get you back to your task as soon as your attention starts wandering.

Effective Task Switching:
* Task switching is a big, but often unavoidable productivity killer. So when you need to switch tasks Vitamin-R will make it as efficient as possible and help you pick up where you left off later on.

Productive Breaks:
* Regular breaks are not for slackers. In fact, taking regular breaks is especially important for people who work with high focus. Vitamin-R's timed breaks make sure that your renewal break does not turn into a free afternoon and the "priming" technique allows your intuition to work overtime before you even start on a time slice.

Find Your Rhythm:
* Each one of us is different. Finding out what works best for you is the key to true productivity. Vitamin-R gives you the tools to gain awareness of where you spend your time and what works for you. Armed with this new knowledge, you can eliminate unproductive work patterns and discover the work rhythm that suits you best.

Make It Your Own:
* Vitamin-R plugs into your life rather than trying to take it over. You can use it occasionally to overcome procrastination or mental blocks or re-organize your entire working life around the concepts that it embodies.

Ideal for Pomodoro Technique:
* Vitamin-R provides everything you need to implement the Pomodoro Technique: sophisticated timer, log book and analysis components.

Attention Deficit Disorder:
* Vitamin-R was never specifically designed with ADHD "suffers" in mind, but many ADHD-ers have found Vitamin-R's approach to focusing attention particularly valuable.

Students:
* Vitamin-R is used by many students, especially in Medical School (who will get the joke) to revise for their exam and help them achieve to the best of their abilities.

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
* Requires iOS 7.0 or later
* 3.1 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Vitamin-R for iPhone 1.0.1 is $4.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Business category.

Askt for iOS - Free Journal Focuses On Getting to Know Self Through Q&A - Published on 06/11/14

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Whyse ApS today announces Askt 3.0, an update to their unique journaling app for iOS devices. Rather than rely on just random thoughts, Askt makes it easy for the user to journal their thoughts and feelings by providing thought-provoking and inspiring questions for each day of the year. Questions are repeated each year so users have the ability to review previous answers. Askt answers can be kept secure with a passcode and are stored in the cloud.

Alleroed, Denmark - Whyse ApS today is pleased the announce the release and immediate availability of Askt 3.0, an update to their unique journaling app for iPhone and iPod touch devices. Unlike many journals that simply provide space for users to record their random thoughts, Askt provides daily inspiring and thought-provoking questions that make it easy to journal thoughts and feelings.

Feed My App describes Askt as "the perfect iOS application for anyone who wants to start a personal diary or journal because it offers you a provocative daily question every day of the year to spur you to unleash your inner feelings." (26 Apr 2014)

Askt's intriguing daily questions are repeated for each day of the year. This allows users to review their answers from previous years to track and compare differences. If a daily question is missed, users may always choose any date from the past to answer that day's question. Askt also allows users to edit previous entries at any time.

Feature Highlights:
* Elegant and easy-to-use User Interface
* A different question each day of the year
* Track and compare answers from previous years
* Daily reminders prompting user to answer questions
* Ability to maintain privacy with passcode lock
* Choose past dates to answer missed questions

* Ability to add photos to daily diary entries (premium version only)

All Askt answers and journal entries can be kept secure with passcode-protection. Users can lock their app by setting a passcode, which is accessible in their profile settings. For reference, Askt keeps a record of how many questions have been answered and how long the user has been interacting with the app.

"Askt is a new kind of journal app that focuses on helping you get to know yourself rather than letting you write about random thoughts." reports Allyson Kazmucha of iMore (6 May 2014). "If you need a little help writing about yourself, Askt is a creative and inspiring way to get it."

Version 3.0 includes some exciting new user-friendly features. By popular request, Askt now offers a slimmer user interface to allow more space for journal entries. Users can customize the Askt interface to include or remove lines in their journal entries as well. By adding a local cache, Askt processes the user's requests faster and in the event the user forgets their password, they can now reset their password to gain access to their Askt journal.

Askt can send notifications that remind the user to answer the daily question. The premium version of Askt includes two new, frequently-requested features. Users can now export all their Askt journal answers as a PDF. Askt has also added a visual element to the app by providing users the ability to add photos to their daily diary entries.

"Always wanted to start a journal?" asks Patricia Rabal, Marketing Coordinator of Whyse ApS. "Askt offers an agile and smart new way to journal by asking intriguing questions that provide a springboard for you to record and share your thoughts and feelings. You can look back at previous answers, but you can't look forward. By offering a quick and simple to use journaling app that asks stimulating questions, you'll be looking forward to the new question from Askt each day!"

Designed for the 2014 World Cup, Matchguess is as much for football enthusiasts as for their friends who wish to challenge them on their favourite subject.

Creil, France - Independent developer, Franck Coufourier today is proud to announce the release of Matchguess 1.0 for iOS, a social prediction application on football (soccer) matches. Designed for the 2014 World Cup, the app will be updated later to include the most popular national and international competitions. Matchguess is as much for football enthusiasts as for their friends who wish to challenge them on their favourite subject. At the office, with family or friends, Matchguess is likely to please everyone at this time of the World Cup.

The prediction contests are automated and the predictions become more spontaneous:
Matchguess aims to replace the spreadsheet files regularly produced around the world for prediction contests. No more forgotten predictions, Matchguess remains in the pocket. The predictions of all participants are retrieved automatically and players no longer have to wait for the organizer to make updates. Indeed, the points are calculated by Matchguess whenever a final result is known. No more mistakes calculating the points.

The rule of the game is set in advance:

SCSC Announces a 30% Price Reduction on Their Scannerz Line of Products - Published on 06/11/14

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Virginia based Software and Computer Systems Company, LLC, the creators of the highly acclaimed Scannerz line of hard drive, SSD, and system testing tools has announced a ten day sale on all versions of Scannerz, including Scannerz with FSE, Scannerz with FSE-Lite, and Scannerz Lite. During this time frame, these products will be discounted by 30%. The sale will formally end on June 20, 2014 at 11:59PM EST.

Reston, Virginia - Software and Computer Systems Company, LLC (SCSC) has announced a sale on all available packages of Scannerz with FSE, Scannerz with FSE-Lite, and Scannerz Lite for the Mac OS X operating system. The sale will end at midnight on June 20, 2014. Every package combination will be discounted by 30% during this time. Scannerz with FSE or FSE-Lite also come bundled with Performance Probe and Phoenix.

"We're offering this discount to encourage people to come and visit our web site, become more familiar with our products, and to explore all the information we have available to Mac users," stated Bill Wagner, the company owner. "The Scannerz line of products has been greatly improved, enhanced, and made even easier to use over the past few years, and our once somewhat complicated users manual has been re-written and includes step by step instructions for users. The new manual not only illustrates how to perform basic tests on hard drives and SSDs, but also explains how to isolate more complex problems, such as faulty SATA and I/O cables, as well as identify many problems with the system bus and RAM."

"Many people often scoff at the idea of testing their systems periodically, often stating 'I have backups, so I don't need to do tests.' Unfortunately, one of our clients recently found out the hard way that the backup drives they use don't last forever. They fail just like any other drive. In this particular case, the user lost over 30 gigabytes of data on an old backup drive he thought would apparently last forever. It didn't. Scannerz test results indicated that the media itself was failing due to not only age, but also because of developing mechanical problems. The drive was riddled with weak sectors, which can develop with age, and if he had done periodic scans with Scannerz, the abnormal presence of weak sectors would have told him problems were beginning to develop. Hopefully this sale will encourage people to at least consider testing their systems once in a while and recognize how easy it can be."

SCSC has indicated that this pricing will be in effect only until June 20, 2014, but the company likes to stress the fact that all upgrades to any of their products are free of charge.

FSE for Mac OS X: http://www.scsc-online.com/FSE.html
Purchase: http://shop.scsc-online.com

Software and Computer Systems Company, LLC (SCSC) was formed in 2005. It is legally licensed to do business as a limited liability company in accordance with the laws of the State of Virginia. Originally, SCSC focussed on producing its own line of cross platform software tools using Java. The applications consisted of performance enhancing application tools, engineering and scientific tools, and tools for the medical sciences. In 2008, SCSC changed its focus and became dedicated primarily to developing products for use on the Mac OS X and IOS operating systems. SCSC's product line up for Mac OS X currently consists of Scannerz with FSE, Scannerz with FSE-Lite, FSE, and SpotOff with Spot-O-Meter. Scannerz is a hard drive scanning tool, FSE is a file system events monitor, and FSE-Lite is a less capable version of FSE and is included in all base versions of Scannerz. SpotOff and Spot-O-Meter allow a user to control and monitor Spotlight activity. Copyright (C) 2005-2014 Software and

Goldenslate App Revolutionizes Searching for Trusted Professionals - Published on 06/11/14

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Silicon Valley technology company, Goldenslate, has created a social referral app designed to transform the way consumers find service professionals, from a private, conversational and chance exchange, to one utilizing mobile and social contacts combined with search capability. Goldenslate 1.1 gives its members the ability for the first time to see who in their network knows a trusted professional. Members can notify friends that they are looking for referrals and get timely responses.

Cupertino, California - With 92% of consumers trusting referrals from people that they know (Nielsen Research, 2012), Goldenslate's app - which is free to download on iTunes - enables consumers to tap directly into fully searchable recommendations for service professionals from within their own mobile and online network.

The app's easy to use interface gives members access to 200+ types of service professionals including babysitters, contractors, tutors, lawyers and more. Members can leverage their online connections and device and email contacts to create personal referral teams.

Goldenslate offers a powerful alternative to traditional online searches or reviews, giving its members the ability for the first time to see who in their network knows a trusted professional. Members can notify friends that they are looking for referrals and get timely responses. The app's referral workflow allows users to respond to referral requests by sharing mobile contacts, thus uncovering trusted connections that were previously locked away. Goldenslate gives household decision-makers the ability to search and share quality referrals in less time than it takes to do online searches.

Service professionals stand to benefit too, by using Goldenslate to manage their most effective marketing tool - referrals from satisfied customers. They can achieve personal brand credibility through their public profiles featuring "Trust" endorsements and stories from satisfied customers. The "Refer" button and the referral workflow, available with every Goldenslate business account, allow service professionals to manage and grow their referrals. Service professionals can visit the Goldenslate website to claim their referral profiles and gain access to these features and more. According to co-founder Matthew Martin, "Goldenslate is striving to be the referral destination on the web and on mobile devices."

Goldenslate is launching in the San Jose area, expanding in the next months into the rest of the Bay Area, and then rolling out nationally.

Goldenslate was born out of co-founder, Ren Menon's frustration with current online referral options. Menon became disenchanted after taking his sick dog, Grace, to a veterinary practice that he had looked up online. The vet made an incorrect diagnosis and treated Grace with an unnecessary invasive procedure. After seeing his beloved dog continuing to suffer, Menon asked a friend to recommend a vet, who properly diagnosed Grace's illness and nursed her back to health. Menon's story is not unique. Every day, people choose service professionals for their families without fully knowing the quality of the provider.

Philip Peshin, Goldenslate's technology leader, asserts that: "With the advancement of social media, technology and mobile communication, we are able to give traditional referral sharing a facelift."

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
* Requires iOS 7.0 or later
* 10.9 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Goldenslate 1.1 is Free and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Social Networking category.

New font designed by Erik Spiekermann for the Hamilton Wood Type Foundry - Published on 06/11/14

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

HWT Artz is the newest wood type to be cut at Hamilton Wood Type and Printing Museum. It was designed by venerable type designer Erik Spiekermann for his own print studio (P98a in Berlin), specifically to be cut into large size wood type. HWT Artz evokes bold early 20th century European poster lettering. The digital version is being offered to the general public with proceeds of sales to benefit the museum's ongoing operations. Erik Spiekermann is information architect, type designer and author.

Buffalo, New York - HWT Artz is the newest wood type to be cut at Hamilton Wood Type and Printing Museum. It was designed by venerable type designer Erik Spiekermann for his own print studio (P98a in Berlin), specifically to be cut into large size wood type. The digital version is being offered to the general public with proceeds of sales to benefit the museum's ongoing operations.

HWT Artz evokes bold early 20th century European poster lettering. The design itself is intended to minimize hand-finishing and thus production time with rounded corners rather than sharp interior corners that would normally have to be hand-finished.

In keeping with the tradition of naming new Hamilton designs after key figures from the living history of Hamilton (and following Spiekermann's tradition of four letter font names), Artz is named after Dave Artz- Hamilton Manufacturing retiree and master type trimmer.

About the Designer:
Erik Spiekermann is information architect, type designer and author. Two of his typefaces, FF Meta and ITC Officina, are considered to be modern classics. He founded MetaDesign (1979) and FontShop (1988). He is behind the design of well-know brands such as Audi, Bosch, VW, German Railways and Heidelberg Printing, among others; information systems for Berlin Transit and D�sseldorf Airport and for publications like The Economist.

Erik is Honorary Professor at the University of the Arts in Bremen and in 2003 received the Gerrit Noordzij Award from the Royal Academy in The Hague. In 2006 he was awarded an honorary doctorship from Pasadena Art Center. He was made an Honorary Royal Designer for Industry by the RSA in Britain in 2007 and Ambassador for the European Year of Creativity and Innovation by the European Union for 2009. In 2011 he received the German National Design Award for Lifetime Achievement and the TDC Medal. Today, he is managing partner and creative director of Edenspiekermann with offices in Berlin, Amsterdam and San Francisco.

P22 type foundry and the Hamilton Wood Type and Printing Museum have forged a partnership that brings 19th Century ingenuity into relevance with the latest online technologies. This joint venture, known as the Hamilton Wood Type Foundry (HWT), will see a large collection of wood type designs converted into up-to-date font technologies.

About the Hamilton Wood Type and Printing Museum:
The Hamilton Wood Type and Printing Museum in Two Rivers, Wisconsin is the only museum dedicated to the preservation, study, production and printing of wood type. With 1.5 million pieces of wood type and more than 1,000 styles and sizes of patterns, Hamilton's collection is one of the premier wood type collections in the world and an unparalleled source of research material for type designers.

P22 Type Foundry: https://www.p22.com
HWT Artz: https://www.p22.com/family-artz

P22 Type Foundry is an independent design house that creates computer typefaces inspired by art and history. The company is renowned for its work with museums and foundations such as the Guggenheim, the London Transport Museum, The Philadelphia Art Museum of Art and The Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation to ensure the development of accurate historical typefaces that are fully relevant for today's computer user.

New York, New York - Sidestep LLC today is thrilled to announce the release and immediate availability of Sidestep 2.0, an update to their popular namesake for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch devices. Sidestep lets fans browse and buy concert merchandise before, during, and after the show for either pickup or delivery. A fan can now view what an artist is selling at concerts and have the ability to pre-order items and pick them up at the show in an expedited line. A fan may also have their order shipped home.

With Sidestep, you can now avoid long lines and take comfort in knowing your order is waiting for you at an exclusive Sidestep table. �It�s about creating an experience that engages your fan base in a brand new way� says Eric Jones, founder of Sidestep and former signed artist. Once at the concert, the fan opens the app and shows a unique barcode to a Sidestep vendor for scanning to complete the order.

Sidestep offers exclusive offerings to users, flash sales that change daily, and artist throwback items from past tours. A user can receive push notifications when an artist they follow has any concert updates and have the ability to track their orders all within the app. Payment and shipping information is also stored for seamless transactions.

The initial release of Sidestep was a great opportunity to listen to users and make the experience even better. Version 2.0 introduces a complete makeover and adds key features that everyone will love:

* Favorite artists and receive important updates from them via push notifications

"A photograph is a memory taken by the heart. You keep them in a box, tucked safely in your wallet, or hanging on the shelf for everyone to see. You look at these memories from time to time because they make you smile," explained Eric Jones, founder of Sidestep LLC. The merchandise you get at the concert represents the same thing. A t-shirt from the show is a tangible memory and no different from a photograph. You take these items and wear them proudly. When you grow too big, you put them in your dresser; never do you throw them away. These tangible memories offered at the concert are a constant reminder of the night you felt alive. When the music took over. When you fell in love with sound, beauty, and the people around you. We work day in and day out to make these memories more accessible by offering a merchandise booth that's open 24-7. No longer should you wait in long lines or miss even a second of the concert. The end-to-end experience is now in your control."

No more long lines, running out of your item or size, or missing any of the special moments by having to leave your seat or position in the front row. Sidestep is also assisting artists and the music industry by extending sales, promotions, and providing unique customer insights that were previously unattainable.

It's perfect for math readiness skills with 9 mini games, each enforcing a different concept in a different part of town."

The mini games in the app include:
* Catch-a-Sea Pickle - tap the sea pickles displaying the target number
* Whale Feeding - use a slingshot to feed the whale the correct number of cabbages
* Cloud Writing - trace the numbers in the sky
* Construction Blocks - stack the blocks in order, to turn on the lights
* See-Saw - balance the animals on the see-saw with equal sums
* Space Vacuum - clean up and count shoes, donuts, marbles and more
* Number Painting - color by numbers to paint a masterpiece
* Cookie Bakery - play chef and decorate your cookies with matching toppings
* Snowboard Slalom - guide a snowboarding yak to touch the flags in order

The app is localized for Spanish, French, Portuguese and Russian, so users outside of the U.S. can enjoy the game in their native language.

"We all have kids here and we wanted to get back to making games for our youngest children." says Artgig President Matthew Kicinski. "One of our primary goals was to make an app that is super simple to navigate and offers opportunity for multiple play styles. With Drive About, kids are free to roam and explore with different vehicles, but they can also go directly to their favorite activities to play."
