$2 Gas Won't Last Forever; New Program Helps Drivers Save Money, Curb Emissions

$50 Savings on Smartphone "Driving Coach"

OAKLAND, Calif., Feb. 11, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- The Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) this week kicked off a new program known as Drive Smart Bay Area to help motorists save money, improve air quality and increase safety by following a few simple tips to improve driving habits and vehicle performance. These include linking trips; avoiding excessive speeds; removing unneeded gear from the trunk and back seat; avoiding hard braking and rapid acceleration; maintaining proper tire pressure; getting regular tune-ups; and making sure fuel-tank caps are secured snugly. Drivers who follow these tips can save up to $1 per gallon, improve their cars' performance, and keep traffic flowing smoother.

Drive Smart Bay Area is the newest addition to the Climate Initiatives program launched by MTC in 2009. For drivers who want to know how their current driving style impacts their mpg, the Commission is teaming with San Francisco-based Automatic Labs Inc. to make the Automatic adapter -- a smart driving tool that easily plugs in under the steering wheel of most post-1996 model year vehicles -- available for $49.99, which is half off the suggested $99.95 retail price. Licensed drivers in Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, Napa, San Francisco, San Mateo, Santa Clara, Solano and Sonoma counties can buy the discounted devices at http://www.511.org/DriveSmartBayArea or at 23 Best Buy stores around the Bay Area through June 11 or while supplies last.

"The Automatic adapter is like a fitness tracker for your car," explained Ursula Vogler, who coordinates MTC's Climate Initiatives program. "It communicates with your smartphone to help you drive smarter, and it alerts you to wasteful driving habits. The Automatic device can even diagnose engine trouble, remind you of where your car is parked, or summon emergency response if you're in a crash, with no subscription required."

To get Automatic online, watch the instructional video at http://www.511.org/DriveSmartBayArea and click the "Get Your Plug-In Tool" link at the end of the video. To pick up an adapter at Best Buy, visit the resources section at http://www.511.org/DriveSmartBayArea, print out the Automatic coupon, and present it at the store. Participating Best Buy stores include locations in Brentwood, Colma, Daly City, Fairfield, Gilroy, Milpitas, Mountain View, Oakland, Pinole, Pleasant Hill, San Bruno, San Carlos, San Francisco, San Jose, San Rafael, Santa Rosa, Sunnyvale, Union City, Vacaville and Vallejo. 

Automatic adapters work with most gas, diesel and hybrid vehicles built after 1996. The adapter plugs into the vehicle's OBD-II port and pairs wirelessly via Bluetooth with Automatic's app to log and display driving details. Compatible smartphones and operating systems include iPhone 5, 5c, 5s, 6 and 6 Plus; iOS 7 and above; Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich and above; and Android 4.3+ (Jelly Bean) for HTC One. BLU Advance 4.0, BLU Dash 5.0 and BLU Life Play S are not currently compatible.

Honeywell Develops Virtual Reality Technology for Future DARPA and U.S. Army Ground Vehicles

First-of-its-kind virtual instrument panel could give drivers better awareness and more information for improved mission success

PHOENIX, Feb. 11, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Honeywell (NYSE: HON) has signed an agreement with the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) to provide the Ground X-Vehicle Technologies (GXV-T) program with a virtual reality instrument panel that replaces glass windows with display technology from Honeywell.

http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20080425/LAF040LOGO

As part of the GXV-T program's goal to explore new vehicle technologies that could improve survivability, agility and mobility for the next generation of military ground vehicles (such as tanks, armored vehicles and more), this virtual reality instrument panel concept from Honeywell could provide drivers with an enhanced, clearer 360-degree view outside the vehicle. In addition, it could enable safer and more efficient missions.

"The development of virtual window technology is a significant shift in the concept of design for military ground vehicles. No longer would drivers of these ground vehicles need to rely on the view through the windows alone; this technology would provide them with improved awareness that could impact the survivability of a new, more agile ground vehicle solution," said Carey Smith, president of Defense and Space at Honeywell Aerospace. "Honeywell is a leader in advanced cockpit display technology, so we were able to leverage our extensive background in display technologies, coupled with advanced visualization research, to meet the needs of DARPA's GXV-T program."

Using Honeywell's near-to-eye and display technologies for military and commercial avionics flight decks, the display system projects a wide-angle, high-definition view of external conditions, potentially allowing the operator to track optimal routes over difficult terrain, review infrared and terrain classification views, and see allies and adversaries. By using this technology, Honeywell and DARPA are working together to develop a new and improved operating environment for future ground vehicles.

The first phase of the virtual windows development began in July 2015 and will continue through June 2016.

Weber Grills Adding High Tech Component to Grilling Experience

PALATINE, Ill., Feb. 11, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Weber-Stephen Products LLC, the world's largest manufacturer of outdoor grills and grilling accessories, announced today the acquisition of the popular iGrill® high-tech grilling thermometer from iDevices LLC, a leading brand in the connected home space.

Just in Time for Valentine's Day, A New Kind of Hangman Gets Some Lovin' from Apple

ENGLEWOOD CLIFFS, N.J., Feb. 11, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Calling all kid word lovers! Currently featured in the AppStore's Valentine's Day Fun for Kids category is HangArt, a new kids app that puts a creative spin on the classic word game Hangman. In the AppStore featured Valentine's Day edition, kids ages 4-8 play a visual hangman, then draw pictures and create digital stories using a collection of Valentine's Day-themed words!

Photo - http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20160210/331957

"Research shows that arts education and creative literacy can help to lay the groundwork for future skills needed for the personal and professional success for today's children," says Sandhya Nankani, creator of HangArt and founder of Literary Safari, which produced the app. "With HangArt, I wanted to create a creative and collaborative playground that combines literacy and the arts in a meaningful way by allowing kids to do the things they love to do the most--play games, draw pictures, and tell stories." The mother of a six year old, Ms. Nankani has spent over a decade creating children's educational content and learning games for clients including Scholastic, PBS, and Sesame Workshop.

Diversity is the need of the hour in children's media and HangArt's animated illustrations, created by Kavita Ramchandran, act as 'sliding glass doors, windows, and mirrors' for children, reflecting the rich history, culture and diversity of our world today. HangArt also reimagines the macabre and violent image of a "hangman" dangling on a noose as a friendly fellow who hangs on a monkey bar and falls off when you lose a word.

HangArt is the recipient of an Editor's Choice Award from Children's Technology Review and Teachers with Apps, which selected HangArt as a "top pick" and calls HangArt a "delightful find." The app was created with the input of NJ-based educator and literacy advisor Patty McGee, author of Feedback that Moves Writers Forward (Corwin Literacy 2016). It features the Castledown font, a dyslexic-friendly font praised by Wired magazine as a "font that helps kids learn to read and write." The app also offers in-depth analytics grounded in the mindset approach for parents and teachers, including insights on what words kids find to be especially easy or difficult.

"With HangArt, the focus is on having fun, while building vocabulary in an authentic, situated context," says Matthew Farber, teacher, Edutopia blogger and author of Gamify Your Classroom: A Field Guide to Game-Based Learning.  "I watched as my five-year-old discovered parts of speech and how words interplay to construct sentences. He was particularly engaged in the Story Studio, where he could record his own stories." 

HangArt is available for download for Apple or Android for $1.99. It has no inApp purchases or advertising.

Actev Motors Introduces World's First 'Smart-Kart' For Kids

Electric go-kart immerses kids in an exciting driving experience with advanced safety and app-based controls for parents

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., Feb. 11, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Actev Motors(TM), creators of smart, electric vehicles for families, today unveiled the Arrow Smart-Kart(TM), the first smart, electric go-kart for kids. The Arrow, designed by professional racecar drivers and inspired by technology in today's most advanced cars, comes with a sleek design and is packed with performance and safety features. Young drivers are guaranteed an exciting driving experience while parents can supervise on their iOS or Android device through the Arrow app.

"As a long time-car enthusiast, I wanted to leverage my 35 years of technology experience to bring a whole new category of fun and safe vehicles to families," said Dave Bell, CEO and co-founder of Actev Motors. "Simple battery-powered ride-on cars don't excite today's kids - they seek high-tech interactive experiences. The Arrow Smart-Kart gets kids off the couch and outside, and behind the wheel of a real driving machine."

The Arrow Smart-Kart, sized for kids five to nine years old, can be easily configured to match each driver's skill level. Arrow combines the excitement of a real driving experience with the confidence of parental supervision via the Arrow mobile app. The app connects to the Smart-Kart via WiFi and equips parents with several safety features:

    --  Adjustable maximum speed limit (up to 12 mph)
    --  Collision avoidance automatically stops Arrow if an obstacle is detected
    --  Emergency stop button immediately halts Arrow
    --  Geo-fencing prevents the driver from going outside a parent-defined
        geographic boundary
    --  Inactivity timer alerts the parent if Arrow is motionless for a
        selectable time period
Kids will love personalizing their driving experience by downloading synthesized engine sounds from an online sound library. The Arrow app also lets kids monitor stats such as total driving time, total distance and maximum speed.  In the coming months, a growing list of accessories will become available for the Arrow Smart-Kart, including custom body kits, drifting wheel rings, a Formula-1 inspired steering wheel, distance-sensing 'smart cones', laser tag sensors and gaming apps.

With the debut of the Arrow Smart-Kart, Actev Motors enters the toy industry with the goal of transforming the kid's ride-on vehicle market. Based in Silicon Valley, the company is creating fun, safe and affordable children's vehicles by leveraging technology found in today's smartphones and most advanced cars.

The Arrow Smart-Kart, priced at $599.95, is now available to pre-order online and will begin shipping in early summer 2016.

The Arrow Smart-Kart will be unveiled at the Toy Fair in New York City from February 13 - 16, 2016 at Actev Motors' Booth #4615 (located on Level 1 of the Javits Convention Center). Additionally, ride-on demonstrations will be showcased in the lobby of the Crystal Palace (located on level 3).  For more information, visit: http://www.actevmotors.com/press

About Actev Motors
Silicon Valley-based Actev Motors was formed in 2014 with the mission of transforming the recreational and utility vehicle market. Founded by experienced technology leaders and staffed by car enthusiasts, Actev is leveraging technology found in smartphones and high-end cars to create entirely new capabilities.

Rand McNally Introduces a Revolutionary Connected Car Device with the Power to Modernize Any Vehicle

Company Unveils OverDryve(TM) After Decades of Building Technology Portfolio

CHICAGO, Feb. 11, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Today at the Chicago Auto Show, Rand McNally - the country's most trusted source for maps, navigation and travel content - reveals OverDryve((TM)), a revolutionary connected-car device that brings advanced luxury-car features to mainstream automobiles. OverDryve((TM)) is an elegant dashboard tablet that provides a combination of entertainment, information, navigation, and safety features. It makes an ordinary drive more engaging, enjoyable and safe - all for less than $400.

https://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20160210/332045

"The vast majority of the 250 million U.S. cars and light trucks on the road today don't have sophisticated electronics - features such as voice recognition and control, hands-free texting and forward collision detection, just to name a few," said Stephen Fletcher, CEO of Rand McNally. "OverDryve((TM)) upgrades ordinary vehicles by providing an advanced connected-car experience for a fraction of the cost of a high-end luxury car."

Designed with drivers in mind, OverDryve((TM)) provides simple and intuitive access to:

    --  A voice-controlled smart assistant
    --  Hands-free calling and texting
    --  Music from drivers' favorite sources
    --  Audible news, weather, traffic and sports
    --  Forward collision warnings
    --  A dash camera and available high-resolution wireless backup camera
    --  Customizable gauge clusters and vehicle information
    --  Available tire pressure monitoring
    --  Award-winning trip planning and navigation
    --  An FM radio
    --  Wired and wireless connectivity to in-dash radios
    --  And available roadside assistance and accident notification
Everything about OverDryve((TM)) was designed with the driver in mind. It features an elegant user display that provides access to key items at a glance. It comes with a clever, easy to install magnetic mount, making attaching and removing the device a snap. Keeping safety at the forefront, some OverDryve((TM)) features are disabled while the device is on the mount and in driver mode. Off the mount - for passengers in the car or after the drive - OverDryve((TM)) is a fully loaded entertainment tablet that can be used to watch movies, access social media, and check email.

Celebrating its 160(th) anniversary this year, Rand McNally has undergone a quiet transformation into a technology company in recent years. A major player in the commercial transportation markets - for 80 years - the company has leveraged its fast-growing telematics and fleet management expertise along with its award-winning commercial navigation to create a highly advanced, connected-car device that is affordable and can be used in any car or truck.

"Rand McNally has been helping people discover, map and navigate for 160 years. While we are most widely known for our best-selling Road Atlases, during the past several years we have transformed into an innovative technology company for the consumer and commercial transportation markets - businesses that now comprise 70 percent of the company's revenue,"  added Fletcher. "OverDryve((TM)) is the latest technology product to come from this ongoing effort."

OverDryve((TM)) is due in stores later this spring and is expected to retail at $399. Rand McNally is displaying the product at the Chicago Auto Show, Feb. 13-21, 2016, in the South Hall of McCormick Place.

The Snapdragon X16 LTE modem is the first instantiation of Qualcomm Technologies' new, advanced modem architecture. This highly scalable architecture, with modular components and common software, will allow Qualcomm Technologies to rapidly evolve its modem product line to address a wide range of connected applications, ranging from ultra-fast mobile broadband to power-efficient connectivity for Internet of Things (IoT) devices.

The Snapdragon X16 LTE modem also supports Licensed Assisted Access (LAA), the global standard for LTE in unlicensed spectrum, becoming the mobile industry's first commercially announced LTE Advanced Pro modem. LTE Advanced Pro, beginning with 3GPP Release 13, marks an important next phase for 4G that will expand the technology into new applications and usage models, establishing the foundation for unified and more capable connectivity platforms into the next decade.

The Snapdragon X16 LTE modem is designed to reach Gigabit Class LTE speeds using the same amount of spectrum as Category 9 LTE devices. By using carrier aggregation and 4x4 MIMO, the Snapdragon X16 LTE modem can receive 10 unique streams of data using only three 20 MHz carriers. Its support for 256-QAM boosts the peak throughput of each stream from ~75 Mbps to ~100 Mbps, with additional gains possible with modem data compression. Additionally, with support for LAA as well as LTE-U, this combination reduces the amount of licensed spectrum required - to 40 MHz or less - to vastly expand the number of operators that can deploy Gigabit Class LTE speeds around the globe.

In addition to the advanced connectivity feature sets, the new modem and transceiver support Snapdragon All Mode, including all major cellular technologies (LTE FDD, LTE TDD, WCDMA, TD-SCDMA, EV-DO, CDMA 1x, and GSM/EDGE), frequency bands, Carrier Aggregation band combinations, LTE dual SIM, LTE Broadcast, HD and Ultra HD Voice over LTE (VoLTE) with single radio voice call continuity to 3G and 2G.

"In addition to serving as a significant milestone for the mobile industry, the Snapdragon X16 LTE modem is a powerful testament to Qualcomm Technologies' continued technology leadership in all things wireless," said Cristiano Amon, executive vice president, Qualcomm Technologies, Inc., and president, QCT. "Not only does the Snapdragon X16 blur the lines between wired and wireless broadband, but marks an important step toward 5G as we enable deeper unlicensed spectrum integration with LTE and more advanced MIMO techniques to support growing data consumption and deliver an even faster and smoother user experience."

The Snapdragon X16 LTE modem pairs with the new WTR5975 RF transceiver, the world's first single-chip RF IC supporting Gigabit Class LTE, LTE-U and LAA with 5 GHz unlicensed band support. The highly integrated WTR5975 supports up to 4x downlink CA, 2x uplink CA, all 3GPP-approved bands, including 3.5GHz bands 42 and 43, and 4x4 MIMO in a single transceiver chip, dramatically reducing the footprint required to support advanced CA and MIMO configurations. The WTR5975 also features a new digital interconnect interface designed to facilitate PCB layout in advanced LTE devices by simplifying routing between the modem and transceiver. The Snapdragon X16 LTE modem pairs with Qualcomm Technologies' Qualcomm(® )RF360(TM) QET4100 Envelope Tracker to provide a major advancement in LTE power efficiency with the world's first announced 40MHz envelope tracking solution for LTE FDD and LTE TDD.

The Snapdragon X16 LTE modem, WTR5975 and QET4100 are designed and optimized together as a system to support fast downloads, swift application performance, as well as provide enhanced thermal efficiency and optimized power consumption. The new chipset is designed to enable a broad range of connected platforms from smartphones, tablets, and mobile computing devices to cars, drones and virtual reality headsets. With Gigabit Class LTE speeds, users will be able to take advantage of breakthrough features, such as live streaming of 360 degree virtual reality content and faster, more seamless access to cloud-based applications and services.

Snapdragon X16 LTE modem, WTR5975 and QET4100 samples are available now, with first commercial products expected in second half of 2016.

Suiting today's space constrained designs, the filter not only ensures that Wi-Fi
performance does not deteriorate in proximity of an LTE transceiver, but allows the
antennas of both transceivers to be sited close together. The new module also supports
Wi-Fi direct.

    LILY-W1 connects to the host processor, either through SDIO or USB, and can operate
concurrently in Client and Micro Access Point modes. Up to 8 clients can attach when
functioning as a Micro Access Point. Royalty free Linux and Android drivers are provided
as standard. With its extended temperature range from -40 to +85 degrees C, the module
suits the growing need for industrial and commercial equipment to become connected.
Typical applications can include telematics control units, drive recorders or OBD readers,
as well as logistics or point of sales equipment.

approach to their gameplay, stepping even further into the shoes of a true football
manager. By creating a way for players to customise their game plan, we are enabling our
players to be much more involved with their teams every day.

    "Top Eleven, the game we founded Nordeus upon back in 2010, continues to go from
strength to strength and we're extremely proud to continue our partnership with José
Mourinho. Making great games is at the heart of what we do and we're excited to see our
players' reaction to these latest updates."

FirstBank Chooses Entersekt to Boost Mobile Banking Security

ATLANTA, February 10, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --

    Colorado-based bank to enable one-touch multi-factor authentication with Touch ID 

    Leading authentication provider, Entersekt [http://www.entersekt.com ], today
announced that FirstBank [https://www.efirstbank.com ] has selected Entersekt's
multi-factor authentication product, Transakt
[https://www.entersekt.com/Technology-Transakt ], to enhance the security of its mobile
banking application. Headquarted in Lakewood, Colorado, FirstBank is the largest
locally-owned bank in the Centennial State with $15.6 billion in total assets. It also has
a growing number of branches in Arizona and California.

    FirstBank will integrate the Transakt Software Development Kit (SDK) into its mobile
banking application to provide a seamless, one-touch authentication experience that is
fully compliant with FFIEC and international regulatory guidance on out-of-band,
multi-factor authentication. Instead of relying on inadequate device fingerprinting and
antivirus technology, Transakt uses digital certificates and proprietary validation
techniques to uniquely identify each enrolled mobile phone or tablet and convert it into a
trusted second factor of authentication. Digital certificates are also used for
transaction signing and to establish a trusted channel between the mobile device and bank
over which mutually-validated authentication requests and responses travel.

    User protection and ease of use are imperative to FirstBank, so it is important that
the security Transakt provides comes at no cost to usability. FirstBank has elected to
implement a fingerprint biometric feature through Transakt to enable a one-touch user
experience. The authentication process avoids one-time passwords or challenge questions,
involving a single touch in response to a pop-up verification request. Little to no user
education is required.

    "Our mobile app has been incredibly well-received by our customers since we launched
it in 2014," said Jim Reuter, chief operating officer at FirstBank. "Adding one-touch
authentication will further enhance what is already one of the most progressive,
easy-to-use mobile banking technologies on the market."

    "Consumer awareness of multi-factor authentication is rising fast as giants like
Google and Facebook roll it out," said Gerhard Oosthuizen
[https://www.linkedin.com/in/gerhardoosthuizen ], Entersekt's chief information officer.
"The security benefits are obvious to everyone, but users are justifiably wary of tired
authentication technologies like one-time passwords that slow them down and do not
necessarily provide the required protection, particularly on mobile. There's an
opportunity here for digital-savvier banks to take a lead over their competitors by
engineering attractively low-friction mobile interactions that nevertheless inspire
confidence and trust."

    Schalk Nolte [https://www.linkedin.com/in/schalk-nolte-45b3b74 ], Entersekt's chief
executive officer, added, "The US market demands exceptional usability on the mobile
channel, together with absolute peace of mind. We are extremely pleased to be working with
FirstBank to enhance its mobile app security while delivering a best-in-class user
experience."

    Transakt is Entersekt's flagship product and is available as an SDK or a stand-alone
security app downloadable from all major app stores. Financial services companies
worldwide use it to secure online banking, mobile banking, mobile money transfer,
e-commerce, call center interactions, in-branch interactions, and more.

    About FirstBank 

    FirstBank operates more than 120 locations in Colorado, Arizona, and California.
FirstBank is the largest locally owned banking organization in Colorado, serving more than
650,000 customers. Since 2000, FirstBank has contributed more than $50 million and
thousands of volunteer hours to charitable organizations. FirstBank is unique in that a
majority of its stock is owned by management and employees. For more information on
FirstBank, visit http://www.efirstbank.com.

    About Entersekt 

    Entersekt is an innovator in push-based authentication and app security. The company's
one-of-a-kind approach harnesses the power of digital certificate technology with the
convenience of mobile phones to provide financial services companies and their customers
with full protection from online fraud. Built on open technologies for high availability,
scalability, and simple integration, Entersekt's patented security products protect
millions of devices and transactions daily, while complying with the world's most
stringent regulatory guidelines. Enterprises across the globe look to Entersekt to

Konami Digital Entertainment Showcases New Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading Card Game Products At American International Toy Fair

EL SEGUNDO, Calif., Feb. 10, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc. (KONAMI) is poised for an exciting and successful 2016 with its deep portfolio of Yu-Gi-Oh! TRADING CARD GAME (TCG) products. KONAMI is set to unveil their 2016 first and second quarter products at the American International Toy Fair February 13-16 in booth #4925 at the Javits Center in New York City.

"We are quite excited by the successes of 2015 as our Yu-Gi-Oh! TRADING CARD GAME products, combined with our growing fan base, have set the stage for a great year ahead," said Yumi Hoashi, Senior Vice President, Card Business for Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc.  "Toy Fair gives us the chance to share our product release schedule and promotional plans with our hobby and mass market partners in a fun environment. After having one-on-one meetings at the show, they walk away confident knowing we can satisfy the needs of both new players and competitive Duelists.

With two new 2016 releases already doing well on store shelves, KONAMI introduces two more this Friday, February 12. The Wing Raiders special booster set contains brand-new Xyz cards and cards from the new Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V series, including several cards to help players power up a current Deck, or build a whole new Deck with new powerful cards like Raidraptor - Satellite Cannon Falcon. Duelists can also try their hand at commanding two new monster themes that'll take their Xyz strategies to the next level - the spectral Phantom Knights and the Super Quantum mecha pilots! The Wing Raiders booster set contains 60 cards; MSRP: $3.99 each 9-card pack.

Duelists who have amassed a collection of new cards during the past few months can now show off their stash in style with Yu-Gi-Oh! Chibi Sleeves also releasing February 12.

MSRP: $9.99 per box.

Duelists can add a little dazzle to their collections on March 18 with Premium Gold: Infinite Gold. This set has something for everyone, including dozens of upgraded cards to bling out a player's collection plus 21 new cards for a Duelist's Main Deck and Extra Deck, all gleaming in gold foil technology. Each 5-card PremiumGold: Infinite Gold mini-pack contains two Gold Secrets - each card a brand-new, never-before-seen card and three Gold Rare versions of popular cards. As a special bonus to all players, scores of Gold Rare cards in the set includes former Yu-Gi-Oh! Championship Series Prize Cards Number 106: Giant Hand and Digvorzhak, King of Heavy Industry, now available for everyone to use.  Every $14.99 MSRP box contains three mini-packs.

On April 15, the original Yu-Gi-Oh! TV series takes center stage with Millennium Pack as dozens of old favorites get a whole new look alongside brand new cards from TV that for years players have been clamoring. This 48-card set includes more than 20 variant artwork illustrations for classic cards like Thousand Dragon, Flame Swordsman, Widespread Ruin, Kunai with Chain, and Celtic Guardian. Millennium Pack also offers famous cards from the TV series that have never been in print before, including Kaiba's ultimate card-drawer, the Card of Demise, and the final version of the mightiest Egyptian God Card: The Winged Dragon of Ra - Immortal Phoenix! MSRP: $1.99 per 5-card pack.

In May, the spotlight is on the May 6 release of Shining Victories, the latest Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG core booster set. Appealing to veteran and novice players alike, Shining Victories is a 100-card set with brand-new Deck themes such as Lunalight, Digital Bug, and Amorphage Dragons, support for recent and classic themes, and signals the bold return of a legendary dragon to the Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG - Blue-Eyes White Dragon - with a plethora of specially crafted "Blue-Eyes" monsters and support cards! MSRP: $3.99 per pack.

May 26 sees the release of the latest Starter Deck for the Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG*.  Designed to teach new Duelists how to Duel, the new Starter Deck is the best place to start a budding Duelist's career! Fans will be entertained with a 40-card ready-to-play Deck, including 9 brand-new Performapal cards, and three special Token cards. MSRP: $9.99 per Deck.

Rounding-out spring are two new products that'll help Duelists of all skill levels prepare for summer tournaments and beyond. First, it's Shining Victories Special Edition releasing on June 17. Each box of Shining Victories Special Edition comes with three packs of Shining Victories, one of two Super Rares from the upcoming fall booster set, and one of two guaranteed variant cards. MSRP: $9.99 per box.  Then it's Pendulum DominationStructure Deck scheduled for a July 15 release.

Spirent and Oasis Partner to Accelerate IoT Connected Devices

Collaboration will create unique two-click device activation and global subscription provisioning for 'Internet of Things' (IoT) connected devices in consumer and enterprise markets

CRAWLEY, United Kingdom and PARIS, Feb. 10, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --Spirent Communications plc, the leading provider of device intelligence solutions, and Oasis Smart SIM, a global Universal Subscriber Identity Module (USIM) connectivity and management provider, today announced a strategic partnership aimed at removing connectivity and network provisioning barriers for the rapid development of connected products and devices, such as cameras, smart vehicles, logistics and production goods.

The partnership marks both firms' entry into the connected Internet of Things (IoT) business, which analyst Gartner, Inc.  forecasts will result in 6.4 billion connected devices worldwide in 2016, reaching 20.8 billion by 2020.

Prior to launching the new product, Spirent and Oasis undertook extensive research into the hurdles that original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) face in making diverse connected products, ranging from white goods in the kitchen to those used in animal management, suitable for sale in world markets. It became clear that old technologies and business models based on use of the traditional SIM were not suitable for IoT device activation and subscription provisioning on a global scale.

The partnership between Spirent and Oasis will introduce a unique two-click software solution, including USIM functionality, that OEMs can embed into products for seamless cellular service activation in any of the world's markets, as well as life-cycle management.

The new product will be showcased on the stands of Spirent (Hall 6, Stand 6J37) and Oasis (Hall 2, Stand 2D13/15/19MR) at Mobile World Congress, in Barcelona (22-25 February, 2016).

"Spirent and Oasis have teamed up to help manufacturers build better and smarter products for the connected world," says Dennis Juul Poulsen, general manager of Spirent's IoT Connectivity and Subscription Management business. "Be it a connected truck or a pair of smart running shoes, OEMs in whatever vertical market now have a solution that provides customers with seamless instant connectivity and the freedom to choose whatever cellular service provider they wish."

"Spirent's unique automatic access point name (APN) setup and remote subscription management solution with Oasis' embedded smart USIM functionality is a game changer in connected products and devices," adds Olivier Leroux, CEO of Oasis Smart SIM. "OEM vendors now have a leaner way to manufacture, distribute and maintain connected products compared to solutions centered on the traditional SIM."

About Oasis Smart SIM
Oasis Smart SIM provides both end-to-end and customized services to enable the deployment of global USIM technology connectivity and management. Oasis' mission is to embed USIM technology in all connected devices and provide secure services to manage their activation and connectivity. This value proposition is ensured by Oasis offering: a full set of services for embedded and reprogrammable SIM, along with solutions for activation, connectivity and subscription management. Oasis contributes in shaping the globally connected world by combining leading edge USIM technology and disruptive business models in a migrated focus from products and solutions to software and services.
