National League of Cities and Next Century Cities Partner with Google Fiber to Recognize Cities Helping to Close the Digital Divide
WASHINGTON, July 30, 2015 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Today the National League of Cities (NLC) and Next Century Cities (NCC), in partnership with Google Fiber, announced a new program to celebrate city-led efforts to bridge the digital divide. The first-ever "Digital Inclusion Leadership Awards" will recognize city governments who are leading successful approaches to tackle barriers to internet adoption. Winners will be announced November 6 at NLC's Congress of Cities and Exposition in Nashville, Tenn. NLC and NCC will host a free webinar August 6 at 1 p.m. EDT to share digital inclusion best practices and provide details of the application process.
"Internet access is no longer a luxury; it is a necessary tool for participation in the opportunities of our communities and our economy," said National League of Cities President Ralph Becker, mayor, Salt Lake City, Utah. "The Digital Inclusion Leadership Awards will recognize the critical work city leaders and their community-based partners are doing to get more residents the digital access and resources they need."
"If we are to fully realize the potential of high-quality broadband networks, we need to ensure that the benefits of broadband are shared by all," said Deb Socia, Executive Director of Next Century Cities. "Through the Digital Inclusion Leadership Awards, we hope to celebrate cities that are addressing this need head-on, and encourage others to do the same."
The awards program includes two categories: Leader in Digital Inclusion Best Practices and Most Promising New Plan. Two cities will be selected as winners in each category based on their ability to provide training, access and hardware to a diverse range of residents, at low cost, with proven results. An additional winner in each category will receive recognition for a particularly innovative approach.
Around 25 percent of US households -- approximately 60 million Americans -- do not have Internet in their homes. Families affected by the digital divide, many of whom are from lower-income neighborhoods, are at a disadvantage when it comes to educational opportunities, applying for jobs or staying in touch with loved ones.
Whether cities are leading or partnering on digital inclusion initiatives, municipal leaders have an important role to play in addressing these inequities. Through this partnership with Google Fiber, NLC and NCC seek to encourage leaders in the public sector to get involved in digital inclusion by highlighting and sharing best practices.
The National League of Cities (NLC) is dedicated to helping city leaders build better communities. NLC is a resource and advocate for 19,000 cities, towns and villages, representing more than 218 million Americans. http://www.nlc.org

Whirlpool® Debuts the Brand's Most Flexible Refrigerator Ever to Care for Any Family
Award-Winning Double Drawer French Door Refrigerator Redefines StorageBENTON HARBOR, Mich., July 30, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- No two families are alike. They have more needs now than ever, whether it's extra snack drawers for small kids, special foods to meet changing dietary needs or even extra storage space. That is why Whirlpool® (NYSE: WHR) is introducing its most flexible refrigerator ever(1). The 26 cu. ft. Double Drawer French Door Refrigerator has nine purposefully designed storage zones including two self-closing refrigerator drawers to provide what families want most - more room to store and organize.
The nine storage zones comprise the PerfectPlaces(TM) System creating a special place for every family staple -from easily accessible frozen pizzas in the pizza pocket to tuck-shelves that adjust to fit taller pitchers of juice. Whirlpool brand's most flexible refrigerator ever(2) also offers two self-close refrigerator drawers, providing endless possibilities. The left drawer is temperature-controlled, with five settings, including one for thawing frozen meats. The same space can also function as a zone to keep food separate for those family members with allergy sensitivities. Plus, the drawer easily lifts out for fast cleaning. With the FreshFlow(TM) produce preserver, the right drawer is ideal for storing fruits and vegetables.
The StoreRight(TM) system keeps food fresh and helps reduce freezer burn, with advanced dual cooling technology that senses conditions and automatically adapts humidity levels, keeping food fresher longer and removing trips to the store.
"Everything we do is inspired by how families care, day in and day out, including how we design our products," said Jon Hall, senior brand manager, Whirlpool Brand. "Consumers challenged us to get the most storage and organization possible while also keeping everything in clear view. This refrigerator delivers that and more."
Available in select models, families who often entertain now have the option to add Dual Icemakers, which make more than twice the ice(3), while the Under-Lit Shelves provide 50% more brightness under the shelves to reduce shadows and help keep everything in full view.
The 26 cu. ft. Double Drawer Refrigerator (WRV996FDE) earned the title of Innovations Honoree at the 2015 Consumer Electronics Awards. The refrigerator is now available at retailers nationwide in Stainless Steel, White Ice and Black Ice, with a starting Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) of $3,299.00.(4) For more information, check out the new refrigerator on Whirlpool.com.

"Customers responded to Blackphone's unique offering of privacy by design, and pushed us to offer even more choices for its second generation."
"Our Blackphone 2 release this fall will bring support for Google Play and Google Mobile Services to Silent OS," said Puron, "and with support for Android for Work, companies can strike their own balance of control over data and connectivity with established productivity services that are used throughout enterprise."
The Blackphone, named one of Time Magazine's "Top 25 Best Inventions of 2014" and one of MIT Technology Review's top 10 technology breakthroughs the same year, includes Silent Circle's encrypted communication software for secure voice and video calling, text messaging, and file transfer.

Premier Mounts Announces the Launch of the LMVF Fixed Flat Panel Video Wall Mount
Can be combined with LMV Press & Release(TM) Pop Out Mount to Create a More Affordable Video Wall
FULLERTON, Calif., July 30, 2015 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Premier Mounts, an internationally recognized leader with over 38 years of experience in the design and manufacture of innovative AV mounting solutions, today announced the release of their LMVF Fixed Flat Panel Video Wall Mount. The LMVF allows installers to use it interchangeably with the LMV Press & Release(TM) Pop Out Mount in areas of a video wall where the Press & Release feature is not required, allowing them to save money on the installation. For even greater savings, it can be used exclusively for a video wall installation, such as in a 2x2 array, and still offer 16 degrees of rear service access.
The LMVF features multi-monitor stacking, an open frame design, a built-in kickstand for easy service access, custom spacers, and top-adjustable fine-tune mounting brackets with adjustments along the (x,y,z) axis for easy panel alignment.
"The LMVF is the ideal mounting solution for video wall projects with tight budgetary restrictions," says Wayne Kozuki, Product Manager, Premier Mounts. "While the Press & Release feature is the best option, it may not be required on the top and/or bottom rows of a video wall where a service kickstand can allow sufficient accessibility. We designed the LMVF to be compatible with the LMV, so that both can be used within the same video wall frame for a more cost-effective installation."
Gain Maximum Versatility at a Minimum Cost
The LMVF joins the LMV Family of video wall mounts as a low-cost option with a frame size identical to the LMV Press & Release(TM) Pop Out Mount. This allows the LMVF to be used in the outer perimeter of a video wall, where the rear of the display is accessible using just the 16 degree service access kickstand. The LMV can then be used in the central area of the video wall, utilizing the Press & Release(TM) feature to extend the display out 13.2" for ultimate service access, in less than 5 seconds. The typical display size range and weight capacity is identical for both the LMV and LMVF, and custom spacers are interchangeable between both models, allowing video walls to be built using any combination of these two video wall mounting solutions.
Both the LMVF and LMV offer the same fine-tune adjustments. The left and right display mounting brackets have 6-point, fine-tune adjustments along the (x,y,z) axis, allowing tools-free post-installation panel alignment. These adjustment points are easily accessible and centrally located. Displays can be easily mounted to the wall and micro-adjusted to ensure proper bezel alignment, as well as to confirm the recommended .050" gap between displays to protect from damage due to thermal expansion.
Open Frame Enables In-Wall Storage Space for Media Players & Cables
The open frame design of the LMVF Fixed Flat Panel Video Wall Mount allows recessed storage of media players and power supplies to be neatly stored and organized within a compatible in-wall storage box, such as the GB-INWAVP or GB-INWAVPL, allowing for easy installation and serviceability. Cables and power cords can also be neatly arranged and protected from wire pinching or damage. This allows for streamlined accessibility for installation and service calls, as well as a cleaner overall look for any type of video wall installation.
About Premier Mounts
An internationally recognized leader in the design and manufacturing of innovative mounting solutions for more than 38 years, Premier Mounts aims higher by providing state-of-the-art, top-quality mounting systems for A/V installations in any setting, no matter the challenge. Premier Mounts is always at the forefront of the industry, working in advance with OEM display manufacturers, to ensure that their designers, engineers and standard products stay ahead of the curve on tomorrow's installation technology.

Users can easily create and combine their own cool, funny (even inspirational, hilarious and shocking) emojis and stickers from any image. With the ability to make new emojis, as well as share GIFs and other content directly within iMessage and other messaging apps, texting will never be the same.
YourMoji creator, a Stanford graduate and avid Photoshop user, Andrew LaForge, says, "With billions of text and messaging conversations happening every day, people are looking for more ways to uniquely express themselves. My goal with YourMoji was to build something fun and exciting that puts the power of creative expression directly on your smartphone and is easy enough for everyone to use."
YourMoji goes where no emoji app has gone before:
-- Create emojis on the fly, and make them even more fun by adding custom
backgrounds, combining multiple cutouts and pulling from a personal
photo stream. There's no limit to what users can create.
-- Though the underlying technology is complex, the app and keyboard is
easy-to-use; with a few broad strokes, YourMoji's superior edge
detection technology lets anyone instantly make incredibly precise
cutouts from any image.

can fill their keyboards with personal emoji creations, user-generated
images and emojis and GIFs from top TV shows, movies, bands and more.
Users can also make their own emoji and GIF packs to share among
friends.
-- Confused or elated? Need to flip someone off? YourMoji is the answer.
Users can create custom emojis to express any emotion or pull from
user-generated options across several categories.
-- Get emojis and GIFs from partners including musical powerhouse Austin
City Limits, lifestyle clothing brand Chubbies and Pop TV, home to Big
Brother After Dark, Schitt's Creek, Unusually Thicke, Rock This Boat,
Sing It On and other original programming.
-- With community-driven content, there is fresh content to discover every
day.
"Standard emojis are fun, but limited -- there are only twenty or so new ones a year," says LaForge. "Now, you can make whatever you want, whenever you want. It's a blast to create personalized emojis and share them with friends."
YourMoji works with top messaging platforms such as iMessage, Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp, and even Snapchat. The application is currently available on iOS and is coming soon to Android.

ESL Partners with Plays.tv to Provide Exclusive POV Coverage of Intel® Extreme Masters
Video-Sharing Platform Will Host Unique Player Perspective Videos, Spectator Views, and Up-To-The-Minute Highlights
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. and COLOGNE, Germany, July 30, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- ESL, the world's largest esports organization, and Plays.tv, the video-sharing platform for gamers, today announced a strategic alliance that will give esports fans unprecedented access to the best of ESL's Intel® Extreme Masters in-game action. Beginning with this week's Intel Extreme Masters competition at Gamescom, ESL will for the first time capture point of view (POV) recordings (complete with player audio) of every player and make them available shortly after matches finish, exclusively on Plays.tv, thanks to the new partnership.
"We've always wanted to have POV videos available for all our competitions, but previously it just wasn't feasible. Plays.tv has made it fast and easy to capture and upload video directly from the tournament PCs and we're excited to provide esports fans with a new viewing experience," said Nik Adams, Senior Vice President, Global Sales & Business Development at ESL. "Now, even if you followed the action live on Twitch, you'll also be able to go back and see precisely what each player was seeing and clicking on, and hear what players were saying to their teammates."
The traditional spectator-view VODs will also be available on Plays.tv first, along with exclusive highlight reels and top plays from the day's matches. Unlike traditional replays, Plays.tv records matches in video format from a player's POV, including in-game communications and mouse-clicks, and makes them almost instantly available to be watched online, from any device.

Whirlpool® Debuts the Brand's Most Flexible Refrigerator Ever to Care for Any Family
Award-Winning Double Drawer French Door Refrigerator Redefines Storage
BENTON HARBOR, Mich., July 30, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- No two families are alike. They have more needs now than ever, whether it's extra snack drawers for small kids, special foods to meet changing dietary needs or even extra storage space. That is why Whirlpool® (NYSE: WHR) is introducing its most flexible refrigerator ever(1). The 26 cu. ft. Double Drawer French Drawer Refrigerator has nine purposefully designed storage zones including two self-closing refrigerator drawers to provide what families want most - more room to store and organize.
The nine storage zones comprise the PerfectPlaces(TM) System creating a special place for every family staple -from easily accessible frozen pizzas in the pizza pocket to tuck-shelves that adjust to fit taller pitchers of juice. Whirlpool brand's most flexible refrigerator ever(2) also offers two self-close refrigerator drawers, providing endless possibilities. The left drawer is temperature-controlled, with five settings, including one for thawing frozen meats. The same space can also function as a zone to keep food separate for those family members with allergy sensitivities. Plus, the drawer easily lifts out for fast cleaning. With the FreshFlow(TM) produce preserver, the right drawer is ideal for storing fruits and vegetables.
The StoreRight(TM) system keeps food fresh and helps reduce freezer burn, with advanced dual cooling technology that senses conditions and automatically adapts humidity levels, keeping food fresher longer and removing trips to the store.
"Everything we do is inspired by how families care, day in and day out, including how we design our products," said Jon Hall, senior brand manager, Whirlpool Brand. "Consumers challenged us to get the most storage and organization possible while also keeping everything in clear view. This refrigerator delivers that and more."
Available in select models, families who often entertain now have the option to add Dual Icemakers, which make more than twice the ice(3), while the Under-Lit Shelves provide 50% more brightness under the shelves to reduce shadows and help keep everything in full view.
The 26 cu. ft. Double Drawer Refrigerator (WRV996FDE) earned the title of Innovations Honoree at the 2015 Consumer Electronics Awards. The refrigerator is now available at retailers nationwide in Stainless Steel, White Ice and Black Ice, with a starting Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) of $3,299.00.(4) For more information, check out the new refrigerator on Whirlpool.com.
