Floor-to-ceiling measurements are just as easy, with no risk of injury on stepstools or ladders. The Laser Dimension Master 130 is small (4.3 inches long), comes with a protective case, and easily fits in a hand, shirt-pocket or purse.
-- Measure up to 130 feet with accuracy of 1/8 inch or better over entire
range
-- Its small size makes it easy to use in hard-to-access areas
-- Measure distances in feet-inches, decimal feet, inches or meters
-- Large, bright, color easy-to-read display
The Laser Dimension Master 130 is an ideal tool for real estate agents and brokers, appraisers, architects, electricians, plumbers, interior designers, remodelers, cabinet makers, estimators, do-it-yourselfers, painters and window covering professionals - anyone who needs laser accurate measurements.

Which Come First? Ranks #1 on the Canadian iPad App Store!
MONTRÃAL, le 14 nov. 2014 /CNW Telbec/ - Genia is proud to announce that since the launch of its first mobile game Which Comes First? on November 6, it has become the most downloaded trivia game on iPad. It's quite an achievement for a game that didn't even have an advertising campaign!
Behind the cute exterior of Which Comes First? hides a culturally enriching game that draws upon your knowledge and intuition. WCF contains a ton of intelligent content, but more importantly, it's just a whole lot of fun. Inspired by the problem of the chicken and the egg, WCF challenges you to place items in logical or chronological order. Players slide on-screen cards before or after each other while trying to get the highest score and competing with friends. There are many themes to choose from: movies, conflicts, science, cooking... It never gets old; new decks, often related to current events, are added every week.
Originality
The innovation behind WCF lies in its gameplay mechanics; reflection, speed and chance are integrated into a system of increasing difficulty. As players succeed in placing their cards in order, the game becomes more difficult and more challenging, but when they fail, it becomes easier so they don't get discouraged and quit.
Our game stimulates curiosity, allowing players to succeed and have fun while rewarding their knowledge on many subjects.
Which System?
Supported on iOS (iPhone and iPad) exclusively for its Canadian soft-launch, Which Comes First's porting on Android will be ready for December 2014. The international release is scheduled for January 2015.

Dedicated Phonak website for teens features new sports section with inspiring testimonials and practical tips showing teens with hearing loss possibilities on the field, on the court, and on the track
WARRENVILLE, Ill., Nov. 14, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Recognizing that a teenager's world is a different one, Phonak has recently launched the first website tailored to the needs of teens with hearing loss. Through teen-specific hooks such as music and social life, the site offers teens all they want to know about hearing technology - and more importantly, what it can do to enhance their lives. The latest addition to the site is a sports section that offers inspiring examples of teen athletes with hearing loss using Phonak Sky Q and Phonak Roger. This new sports section answers questions that teens may have about participating in outdoor sports while wearing hearing devices and communicating with team mates on the field. To learn more, visit http://www.bringsoundtolife.com.
Surveys have shown that hearing impaired teens perceive themselves as typical teenagers who happen to have hearing loss. They love to be active in sports, music, and other fun activities like any other teenager. They expect their hearing aids and wireless technology to allow them to do whatever they want to do without being limited by their hearing loss.
Teens want to live their life to the fullest
"Hearing impaired teens want to hear from their peers about how they succeeded in similar situations. This is why we have developed a site dedicated to teenagers, offering them all the information they seek and a platform for sharing their own challenges and accomplishments in everyday life with hearing devices," says Angela Pelosi, Head of Pediatrics at Phonak. "With sports as our latest experience, we want to encourage them to get out there and get active, without letting their hearing impairment limit them in any way."
Sports is one of the favorite pastimes of teens. Those with hearing loss often fear that they cannot participate or keep up with other teens because of hearing-related communication issues. Bringsoundtolife.com shows teenagers that communication is possible on the field, on the court, and on the track with hearing solutions like Phonak Sky Q and Phonak Roger. Short, engaging videos show how Phonak hearing solutions have given teenagers the chance to live their dreams and succeed in their favorite sports - all heard and told from a teen's perspective.
BringSoundtoLife.com offers teens the opportunity to share their own experiences and stories using the latest Phonak technology with the community to encourage and inspire their peers. A Phonak Sky Q and Roger color customization tool, and an "Ask your audiologist" tool make sure teenagers get the most out of the site, whatever their individual preferences and needs.

Headphone Manufacturer Sennheiser to Open Experiential Pop up Stores in New York City and San Francisco for the Holiday Season
NEW YORK and SAN FRANCISCO, November 13, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --
Just in time for the holidays, German premium audio brand Sennheiser
[http://en-us.sennheiser.com ] announces it will open two temporary concept stores in the
U.S., running from November 22nd to December 28th. To increase consumer awareness on the
benefits of premium sound and the Sennheiser brand, the experiential stores will feature
an audiovisual cocoon design, host events and premiere an interactive installation by
Andreas Muller of Nanika.
Located in the trend-setting neighborhoods of New York's Lower East Side and San
Francisco's Mission District, the stores will act as urban hubs, allowing visitors to hang
out and enjoy the pleasures of excellent sound (#earlove) while browsing through a
selection of curated magazines and playlists. They will also be offered refreshment
drinks.
Each store will feature a DJ booth and gaming area where visitors can test specific
products in their home environment. Another highlight is an interactive audiovisual
installation by Andreas Muller which will visualize the ambient sounds outside the stores
in real-time.
While Sennheiser offers many professional audio products, the store's offering will
focus on Sennheiser's consumer headphones: the recently launched young URBANITE, the
premium MOMENTUM ON-EAR and smaller earphones. Prices will range between $20.00 - $300.00.
"The primary mission of these pop up stores is to offer urban consumers a deeper
appreciation of premium sound, while encouraging them to foster a closer relationship with
Sennheiser," explains Stefanie Reichert, Director Strategic Marketing Sennheiser. "During
November and December, in each of these U.S. urban capitals, consumers will have the
opportunity to interact directly with our brand, giving us the opportunity to better
understand customers' needs while perhaps influencing their decision-making criteria."
In-Store Events
In the New York store, Sennheiser will host weekly events with local musicians and
artists that will be live streamed on Sennheiser's website. Vogue's 'One to Watch' 2014
Marques Toliver is already confirmed. Others will be announced soon.
The Design
Inspired by Sennheiser's mission 'The Pursuit of Perfect Sound', the award-winning
spatial designer Helen Sirp collaborated with Saintil Communications creative director
Jean-Robert Saintil to create the experience of the stores. Envisioning a sanctuary for
excellent sound, Sirp explains: "I wanted to create a space that offers a unique
experience for sound and was intrigued by the contrast of sound vs silence. That's why we
chose the grey acoustic panels which also match Sennheiser's corporate colors quite
nicely. I especially like that the stores are in urban areas - sound waves meeting the
cityscape!"
Central to the store space is the installation of the URBANITE headphones which will
be placed on illuminated 'sound towers'. These will form a visual 'sound wave' of light
which echoes the urban environment, reflecting the cityscape in an abstracted form
extending over the entire space. The second product series, the MOMENTUM On-Ear
headphones, will be housed in milky perspex illuminated towers converging out of walls
horizontally.
The window installation by Andreas Muller of London-based interactive design firm
Nanika [http://www.nanikawa.com ] visualizes the ambient sound inside stores to the
outside world in a real-time 3D display.
Helen Sirp, [http://helensirp.com ] the London-based designer who graduated at the
talent pool Central Saint Martin's, is best-known for designing and curating retail and
event spaces for the lingerie label Kriss Soonik, top-line London creative agency My
Beautiful City and Eesti Disainikeskus (The Estonian Design Centre) which was awarded as
best 'International Fashion Showcase' by the British Council during London Fashion Week
2013.
#EarLove
The opening of Sennheiser's concept stores follows the company's highly successful
'Let Your Ears Be Loved [http://sennheiser-urbanite.com/en-US ]' campaign that launched
earlier this fall, and gained over one million views in just ten days. The campaign, which
features video, social media and experiential event components - each driven by a sensual
and somewhat controversial German-accented 'URBANITE headphone character' - encourages
millennial consumers to pamper their ears with aural pleasure.
Sennheiser
Sennheiser is a leading manufacturer of microphones, headphones and wireless
transmission systems for professional use in the music and sound industries, conferencing,
as well as for private use. The audio specialist brand puts great effort into audio
development, innovation, excellence and science - making it a real icon among people in

Samsung Canada Adds More Freedom with the All New Gear S
Samsung continues to evolve its innovative wearable lineup with the addition of the Gear S - a stunning curved wrist device combined with 3G connectivity
MISSISSAUGA, ON, Nov. 13, 2014 /CNW/ - Samsung Canada, one of the leading suppliers of mobile products to Canadian consumers, today announced the latest addition to its innovative line of Gear wearables - the Gear S. Hitting the shelves of Samsung Brand Stores beginning November 14(th), 2014 and rolling out to carriers and retailers throughout the month of November, the Gear S combines an elegant, curved design with 3G(1) connectivity and allows users to do more on the go - with or without their smartphone².
"The Samsung Gear S defines the next level of wearables," said Paul Brannen, Executive Vice President, Mobile Solutions, Samsung Canada. "Whether making calls, receiving calls, or keeping in touch and updated, the Gear S delivers the freedom and connectivity our consumers want - right on their wrists."
More Freedom:
With access to 3G(1), Bluetooth® and Wi-Fi®, the remarkable Samsung Gear S keeps Canadians connected with or without their smartphone(2), which makes checking up on calendar and app notifications, calls, and social networking easy and fast. The Gear S also makes staying connected easier since its charger cradle doubles as an extra 315 mAh battery pack and the device features Power Saving Mode, which changes the display to black and white and limits non-essential functions to maximize time between charges.
For Canadians looking for a great fitness companion, the Gear S is ideal thanks to enhanced multi-sensors and a built-in GPS. Plus, the Gear S offers even more control over everyday fitness by combining the device with a variety of apps, such as Nike+ and S Health(3), helping consumers stay motivated while on the move.
More Than Meets the Eye:
Featuring a 2-inch curved Super AMOLED display, the Gear S delivers a rich and detailed viewing experience, brought to life through its beautiful and easy-to-use interface. With features such as Conversation View and Condensed Font, the Gear S gives the power to read messages and notifications with a single glance. The chic, curved design fits comfortably around the contours of the wrist and becomes an extension of the user's individual style by giving the ability to customize screen options and interchangeable straps.
With over 1,000 apps already available in the Gear App Store, the Samsung Gear S offers even more ways to enjoy mobile freedom:
-- Location-based services like Turn-by-Turn navigation and Maps
-- View notifications from Facebook
-- QWERTY keyboard, continuous input and voice dictation, making text
messages and emails easier
Pricing and Availability:
The Gear S will be available through major Canadian carriers and retailers beginning November 14, 2014 at an MSRP of CAD$399.99.

The Future of Bedtime: World's First Interactive Pajamas
Pacha's Pajamas takes kids on a transformational journey of discovery
OAKLAND, Calif., Nov. 13, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- In a world of rapidly changing values, how do parents know what is best for their children? How do parents and kids truly connect in a technology and entertainment-driven culture? The ultimate solution to this changing children's entertainment landscape is called Pacha's Pajamas, the world's first interactive dreamwear line which includes an award-winning story and an Augmented Reality App. The project is currently up for funding via Kickstarter at https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/meliaspapa/pachamas-the-worlds-first-interactive-pajamas.
Featuring the celebrity talent of Mos Def, Cheech Marin, and 30 youth artists, Pacha's Pajamas is the story of Pacha, a nine-year old Latin-American girl who struggles to bring her amazing dreams to life. Using the phone/tablet's camera, the augmented reality app tracks the characters on the pajamas and images in the book, and then displays the corresponding animations, educational videos, and interactive graphics. Each interaction with the pajamas and book creates a new path for exploration of Pacha's world for the child.
When the app "sees" the Pacha's Pajamas logo, it displays Pacha's latest webisode - the world's first serial content delivered through augmented reality! The story and app promote self-discovery, self-esteem, and empathy in the context of an exciting story-world for learning about nature and the environment. The pajamas - entitled PACHAMAS - are made of 100% organic cotton and are available in infant, child and adult sizes ranging from $30-$50. In addition to the pajamas and app, parent company BALANCE is also offering an original card game featuring 48 youth leaders worldwide, in partnership with UNESCO project Youth Leader.
Pacha's Pajamas is an already award-winning children's story, winning top awards such as:
-- Parent's Choice Recommended Award
-- Academic's Choice Smart Media Award
-- Creative Child Magazine's 2013 Preferred Choice Award
-- First Place for Songwriting in the 2014 Eco Arts Award
-- People's Choice in the 12th Annual Independent Music Awards
"Pacha's Pajamas, with its wonderful message of hopes and dreams, captures the emotions of parents and kids alike," says the Academic's Choice Awards.
"I love Pacha's Pajamas because of the empowering message it gives children about their future and the environment," says Dr. Nooshin Razani, Pediatrician at Children's Hospital in Oakland. "This engaging story of a sweet but strong heroine coming together in song with the animal kingdom is of great value in helping kids feel able to affect their world. The story speaks to their need for an environmental hero, and my children quickly saw themselves in Pacha. As a pediatrician, I understand the accumulating scientific evidence that kids must get outdoors and into nature for their health. How to get them there is always the dilemma. Artists and entertainers are invaluable partners in the healer's quest to engage kids in the natural world."
Within the children's entertainment sector, there is a lack of positive Latin American and African American female characters. The top cartoon characters for children are white males, creating a need for powerful female protagonists. With the industry topping out at over $98 billion per year, the need is monumental.
Created by Aaron Ableman and Dave Room, an entertainment industry genius and the latter a Stanford engineer, Pacha's Pajamas came to fruition after realizing that children's entertainment was in need of more culturally-appropriate and empowering heroes for today's kids.
"Our Interactive Pajamas provide a bridge between the digital and real world that utterly captivates today's kids, while increasing their affinity for nature and inspiring them to start projects in their community," says Dave Room, CEO of BALANCE Edutainment.
"Pacha's Pajamas inspires kids to create the world they want to live in. The future belongs to those who believe in themselves and their dreams!" shared Aaron Ableman, BALANCE Edutainment's Chief Creative Director.
Since the rise in technology, children are spending more time staring at a screen than ever before. A few statistics:
-- Children subconsciously switch between platforms twenty-seven times per
hour.
-- Children experience less emotional highs and lows based on their ability
to easily correct moods (going online when bored, changing television
channels, etc.)
-- 65% of children move their devices from room to room, compared to 41% of
people not raised with the technology.
-- 54% of adolescents admit they would rather text than physically talk to
someone.
The project is currently up for funding via Kickstarter. To support the campaign, visit: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/meliaspapa/pachamas-the-worlds-first-interactive-pajamas.

By Community Demand, JFrog Announces Private Docker Registries
Empowering Docker with an On-prem Secured Artifactory Repository
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 13, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- JFrog announces Artifactory's support for secure, private Docker Registries. The company's flagship product, Artifactory, fully supports the Docker client, allowing companies to securely store their internal Docker images in a local repository within the organization's LAN. With comprehensive security features, Artifactory provides fine-grained access control, letting you define exactly who can access images in any local repository.
Docker has emerged as the "King of Containers" with more and more enterprises adopting Docker technology to run applications in data centers, on IT infrastructure and developer laptops alike. Docker's decoupling of applications from their environments is revolutionizing how software is run. However, as with any (relatively) new technology, there is still much to be done. One of the biggest concerns with Docker, impeding its large scale adoption in enterprises, is the runtime security of Docker containers. But there's another aspect of security that is receiving less attention, but is no less important - the Docker registries on which images are stored. These are generally public, so anyone can download anything. Even though DockerHub does offer private registries, enterprises are still not quite ready to upload their sensitive IP to the cloud - whether it's Docker images or applications. While there are tools available that wrap Docker registries, so that enterprises can import and run them privately within their secured LAN, having to use a dedicated tool to manage each software technology means a lot of maintenance for IT staff managing the infrastructures.
With over 800 industry-leading customers like Netflix, Oracle, CA, VMWare, Amazon, EMC and others, Artifactory, JFrog's award-winning Binary Repository Manager has supported secure, private registries for all common development technologies since day 1. With the newly added support for Docker, enterprises can securely store their internal Docker images, and implement fine-grained access control to determine who can access what. From restricting complete repositories down to restricting a single artifact, and from a group of any size down to a single developer.
"Organizations shouldn't have to integrate new tools every time a new technology emerges," said Yoav Landman, JFrog CTO. "Developers and DevOps shouldn't have to deal with new challenges to configure and maintain an ever-growing set of tools. We're a user-needs-driven company, and by adding support for Docker in Artifactory, we make it easy for our customers to adopt this technology while maintaining security and privacy within their organization."
"We pay close attention to industry requirements and listen carefully to our community and customers. Thanks to Artifactory's full support for the Docker client, using Artifactory to manage Docker images is transparent to developers, and requires no special effort on their part," said Fred Simon, JFrog Chief Architect. "Once access to Docker images is configured to go through Artifactory, developers continue to do what they do best, write code, without having to worry about where to upload or download images," Simon added.
Support for Docker is included in an Artifactory Pro Power Pack subscription, along with support for Maven, Gradle, Python (PyPi), Nuget, RubyGems, Debian, and virtually every other development technology in common use today. This is in addition to a host of other features that any modern organization doing software development, shouldn't live without.

Keyssa Reinvents the Connector with Kiss Connectivity
Tiny, solid-state system simplifies secure, instant data flow between devices - freeing product designers and consumers from metal connectors, cables and wireless-bandwidth limits
CAMPBELL, Calif., Nov. 13, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Keyssa today introduced "Kiss Connectivity," a new way to transmit huge amounts of data and video rapidly between devices in close proximity, with virtually no battery drain. Keyssa's coffee bean-sized connector combines breakthroughs in mechanical design, electromagnetics, materials science, and semiconductor technologies. Because this tiny system uses extremely high frequency (EHF) signals to transmit information securely using standard protocols, it avoids the manufacturing and consumer challenges of today's other wired or wireless-network options for connecting devices. When built into tablets, laptops, smartphones or docks, it saves space and frees product designers - who are currently constrained by today's large, delicate, mechanical connectors - to create sleeker and more rugged devices. It also offers consumers a new way to share, sync, and store their content - simply and securely - without wireless networks that can be hacked.
"Connectors are a $50-plus billion industry that - unlike almost every other aspect of mobile and computer hardware design - has remained undisrupted for decades," said Eric Almgren, Keyssa's CEO. "We reinvented the connector and designed a new category of contactless connectivity that's elegant, power-efficient, and can meet the exponentially-growing demands of consumers for creating and consuming rich media. You can kiss old connectors goodbye - and say hello to a better way to move rich media across any device: instantly, securely and simply."
"For my last 25 years, I've had to struggle with delicate metal connectors that put unsightly holes in otherwise beautiful products," said Tony Fadell, Keyssa's Chairman of the Board. "Also the EMI, RFI, and ESD design issues with them have only gotten worse as communications speeds have increased over time to allow for large-file/fast-data transfer of 4K video. Wireless communications eliminated many of those connector design issues but added new ones like cost, antenna design complexity, major power consumption and customer frustration with pairing and charging issues.
Over the last three years, we designed Kiss Connectivity to eliminate both the wired and wireless communications constraints, and put it into a tiny flexible form that mobile devices demand, which is fast enough to support all modern wired protocols like USB 3.0, DisplayPort, SATA, PCIe, while remaining cost effective, ultra low power and fast to implement."
"With Keyssa's Kiss Connectivity, a designer is now freed from the design frustrations of wired connectors and customer frustrations from wireless communications. I expect Kiss Connectivity to spark an immediate wave of industrial design innovation that was previously blocked by today's connectors."
Changing the design of devices
For industrial designers, Keyssa's technology offers a new level of sophistication in connector engineering. The typical mechanical connector needed to move data from one device to another takes up significant space inside form factors. It also needs to be placed near the edge of any device, in order to create a port or contact surface.
Keyssa's connector, in contrast, is the size of a coffee bean and can transfer data from any surface on a device since it's mechanically integrated into the device. Keyssa's connector is solid state, preventing RFI/EMI signal interference and eliminating metal contacts, which are prone to wear-and-tear from repeatedly connecting cables or pins.
These characteristics help consumer electronics manufacturers disruptively design and differentiate their products. Moreover, Kiss Connectivity is easy for manufacturers to design-in with their current product lines, because it supports standard protocols, and requires no programming overhead or software drivers. It also co-exists with all wireless power standards and will have configurations that integrate wired power.
Creating new consumer experiences for data transfer
For consumers, Keyssa creates a new connectivity experience that dispenses with awkward data-transfer cables and dependence on wireless networks to share, sync, and show huge files, like 4K, or Ultra HD, videos. Two Kiss Connectivity devices simply "kiss" when they are positioned close together and can exchange data in a few seconds. For example, Keyssa's connector can operate at transfer rates of up to 6Gbits per second, meaning that when supporting protocols like USB 3.0, DisplayPort, SATA and PCIe, Kiss Connectivity can download a 1GB movie in as little as two seconds.
In addition, Keyssa's connector has a power consumption that is orders of magnitude lower than wireless solutions, so it preserves battery life. It also gives people a much more secure data-transfer environment because Kiss Connectivity is a point-to-point connection, unlike network-based solutions like WiFi or WiGig.
Unleashing a new era of connectivity
Keyssa is on a mission to replace today's current connectors and will enable these types of new devices and experiences with Kiss Connectivity:
-- Mobile device to mobile device to share content in seconds
-- Mobile device to mobile device dock to seamlessly add keyboard, monitors
and storage
-- Mobile device to dock to quickly and easily sync data, songs and movies
-- Mobile device to kiosk to download movies in seconds
-- Mobile device to display to stream 4K video
Creating Kiss Connectivity momentum
For the past year, Keyssa has been working with key customers in the mobile and computing industry and in the past few months several of these partners have been building prototypes with early samples of Kiss Connectivity connectors. Keyssa fully expects to launch Kiss Connectivity products in the first half of 2015.
To date, Keyssa has raised $47 million from strategic investors including Intel Capital, Nantworks, Samsung Strategy and Innovation Center, and Alsop Louie Partners. With this funding and a world-class team, Keyssa is poised to scale their business to support the mobile market.

Available from today, Wacom's new cloud based services offer a convenient and easy way to store images and creative work or share settings between devices.
VANCOUVER, Wash., Nov. 13, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Wacom is announcing the availability of Dropzone and Control Room; two new cloud based services that offer fast and easy access to images and personal settings in an increasingly mobile environment. Offering up to 2GB of free storage, Dropzone enables users to save images of their creative work in the cloud so that they are accessible from many different devices, anywhere, anytime. Control Room offers a storage service for individual Wacom pen, tablet and display settings, saving the user time on configuration when they want to use their familiar settings on a different device of the same type. Both Dropzone and Control Room are easy to use, free of charge and work independently from existing services or operating systems.
Heidi Wang, Vice President of Technology Marketing at Wacom, comments: "Through our customers' feedback and success of the Cintiq Companion, our Stylus range and software, it's clear that people work on the go and across multiple platforms. To make the change from one device to the other just a little bit easier, the new Wacom Cloud services provide users with an easy to use and safe hub for their images and familiar settings." The two services are Wacom's first step into cloud based services that in the future will provide a system to connect multiple devices with shared features in a comprehensive and user-friendly open ecosystem.
Wacom Dropzone
Dropzone is an intuitive service that allows users to easily store and access their images on any computer or device, at any time. It works just like a personal clipboard to quickly copy and paste images. With up to 2GB of free storage, it is particularly useful for those who like to work or connect from various locations and who create work using multiple devices. It also provides peace of mind as all images can be backed-up and saved in the event a computer's hard drive fails.
Dropzone is compatible with Windows(®), Mac(®) OSX and iOS and supports all common raster graphics image formats. Additionally, the note-taking and drawing app, Bamboo Paper for iOS, is introducing Dropzone as an integrated feature to make importing images and exporting notes or drawings even easier.
Control Room
When working across multiple computers, customizing tablet settings and adding shortcuts etc. can be time consuming and complicated. Control Room allows users to save their preferred Wacom Intuos and Cintiq settings in the Wacom Cloud and access them when needed. These settings can then be uploaded quickly and easily on to another device. Control Room is compatible with many of the current Intuos and Cintiq products and is available for free in the Wacom Desktop Center, which comes with the product drivers.
For both services a Wacom Cloud account is needed. Users can sign up at https://cloud.wacom.com where they can also download Dropzone as a native app for iOS, Windows and Mac OS.
