U.S. Company Turns to BRAZIL to Advance New Technology

Leave a comment

We Don’t Make the Smartphone…We Make it Smarter, Safer, Courteous and Compliant.
With a registered bill on the table, U.S. based Try Safety First (TSF) is deploying time, talent and resources into Brazil to advance its new mobile phone protocol technology. With its white paper being published in more than twenty-four countries across the globe, it is Brazilwhere TSF is looking to launch.

When asked why Brazil , TSF CEO John Fischer said, “TSF is eager to work with all governments and strategic partners to advance our patent-pending protocol technology. But to date, it is the congressional leaders of Brazil who have demonstrated the greatest desire and responsiveness to tackle the serious cell phone problems in their country.”

According to the World Health Organization, environment specific (prisons, court rooms, classrooms, in flight and behind the wheel) cell phone problems are costing theworld’s top industrialized countries between one and three percent of GDP. Fischer agrees societal cell phone problems are dynamic, devastating and very costly. But he also expands the statement by saying they can easily be eradicated with the implementation of TSF protocol technology.

TSF is the world leader for mobile device protocol development. According to Fischer, the advancement of TSF’s protocol technology will provide an optional tool for parents, teachers, judges, wardens, pilots and employers to easily eliminate cell phone problems within their respective environments. TSF’s primary objective is to establish a uniform global standard throughout the wireless industry to increase the functionality of mobile devices to provide simple solutions to remedy grand societal problems.

Parents Whose Kids Skip School Should Forfeit Benefits Says DiscountVouchers.co.uk Research

Leave a comment

26 September 2011 – A high percentage of British consumers have told online money saving website DiscountVouchers.co.uk that they feel parents of children who skive off from school should lose their benefits. The website, which helps shoppers save money at more than 800 stores, polled site users on the subject of school truancy.

Of the deals website’s respondents, 78% said they feel that parents should be made to pay by losing full benefits if their children regularly skive off school.

Claire Hayes, Chief Operations Officer at DiscountVouchers.co.uk, says: “The UK’s education sector has always been a source of pride and provides the workforce of the future. Parents who are allowing their children to miss school are undermining that and so it is understandable that people feel they should be punished for doing so.”

DiscountVouchers.co.uk features more than 500 new voucher codes every day from over 3000 retailers including Marks & Spencer, House of Fraser, Lastminute.com and Sainsbury’s.

It’s the time of year again that all students dread, but all parents love: the start of term. After a long summer of holidays and fun in the sun, we welcome the Autumn with a rush of pupils who cannot wait to get back to their friends. Lessons replace gaming consoles, and weeks of boredom and laziness evaporate as everyone gets back into the swing of things.

The beginning of the academic year is an exciting time for everyone, and even if you have been through it many times before, there is always a certain thrill associated with going back to school. Whether you are a student, teacher, or parent, it can be a stressful and busy period, but one that will pave the way for new beginnings. The summer holidays can easily make people lazy, so it’s important for students to be prepared to embark upon the journey of a new school year.

It is not that simple; however, as everyone knows the rate at which students go through clothes, stationery and a whole lot more. It is not only the academic tasks that lie ahead, but also the challenge of finding the best bargains for new gear. Whether it is a set of new folders to take to University, or new uniforms for primary school children, help is at hand from Offermyoffer.com to find the cheapest deals available.

Debenhams offers a fantastic range of discounted rucksacks, like the highly sought after black Back-to-school Mini Backpack that has an astonishing 50% savings available.

They also have free home delivery on the same range of clothes.

If it is software is what you’re after, then Adobe’s Back-to-school promotion enables you a sensational saving of up to 80% on Adobe Student and Teacher Editions. Plus, they are throwing in free shipping!

If you value seeing clearly, then perhaps you should consider ACLens UK’s, who has an offer of a 10% discount on contact lenses. Customers will receive free packing & postage on orders of over £60.

proofreading.co.uk – Dissertation Proofreading And Editing Services

Leave a comment

Aug 10 2011 /RTPR/ — Over the summer there has been a surge of interest in the dissertation proofreading and editing services offered by the academic editing service proofreading.co.uk. Operations Director Rory O’Farrell reports record numbers of final-year undergraduates, Master’s and PhD students bringing their theses and dissertations to the company. “We have the best-qualified editors in the business,” stated O’Farrell, “and the word gets round. Top quality students want a PhD-qualified editor to look after their work and bring it up to the best it can be, and we can offer that service. These students use our proof reading and editing service, they’re happy with the high standard of work they receive, and naturally they tell their friends. We’re getting a massive amount of business now from word-of-mouth recommendations.”

The company, based in central London, finds that a large proportion of its academic work is done for clients who have English as a second language. In many cases, these students have been advised by their supervisors to have their dissertation proofread or edited to iron out remaining language problems so that the quality of the actual research can shine through, and that has brought them to proofreading.co.uk.

There’s also a demand for dissertation proofreading and editing from students who have English as their first language but are dyslexic, and again the University will often recommend that the students have their proofreading professionally done by a well-qualified editor.

“And of course, there are many, many people out there who just want another pair of eyes!” says O’Farrell. “When you’ve been working on a thesis or a dissertation for a long time, you simply don’t see the typos and grammar mistakes because you’re too close to the work. Your brain plays tricks on you and reads what should be there. Our editors completely understand that, and our dissertation proofreading is meticulously done to ensure that all those little errors are picked up and corrected. Nobody takes as much care with dissertation proofreading and language editing as we do, and that’s why clients come back to us time and time again.”

— End —

Proofreading.co.uk provides the following services:
• Proofreading and editing business reports, documents, memos, presentations, etc.
• Proofreading and editing advertising copy and branding: brochures, posters, etc.
• Proofreading and editing academic papers or journals.
• Proofreading and editing academic essays, dissertations and PhD theses.

Leave a comment

The new release sets the bar even higher when it comes to flexibility as course creators have novel and easy means to build media rich rapid interactions.”

The new customizability in the six product packs is christened ‘FlexiRaptivity’ in keeping with the theme of flexibility afforded by the new design. Seema Chaudhary, President of Harbinger Knowledge Products, commented, “What is required of a rapid development tool is constantly evolving among the course designer community. Over the last year, we have spoken to numerous customers and evaluated their feedback and request for new features. We are very pleased to announce that many of the new feature additions in this release are a result of these valuable customer suggestions.”

Features that are a direct result of customer feedback include the video support, blank template option, right to left language support, hyperlinking capability and the much awaited ability to support greater text length.

A Strong CV Is Key To Avoiding Graduate Under-Unemployment

Leave a comment

May 17, 2011 /RTPR/ – Following the news that more than half of all graduates are either out of work or stuck in menial jobs some six months after leaving university, Guardian Jobs are today stressing the importance in preparing a good CV to give you the best chance of success in the jobs market.

A study by the Centre for Economics and Business Research found that 52% of last year’s university-leavers, that’s 15,655, were unemployed or under-employed six months after graduating.

20%, that’s 59,000 graduates, had no job this year, the highest amount in a decade and double when the recession began in 2008. Worse still, it’s estimated that some 55% of 2011 graduates will be unemployed or under-employed six months after leaving university.

A spokesperson for Guardian Jobs said today “These findings and predictions by the CEBR do make for rather grim reading. It really highlights the importance graduates must make in making themselves appear employable on their CV, which is after all, the first form of contact employers will have.”

To help graduates get the right job, Guardian Jobs have partnered up with The Fuller CV to offer a free CV checking service that promotes the message ‘just say no to bad CV advice’ and highlights the importance of getting your CV checked over by an expert.

To browse Guardian Jobs extensive selection of graduate jobs, and for advice on how to best prepare your CV for the jobs search, visit the Guardian Jobs website.

Biggest Study Abroad Mistakes Today’s Students Make

Leave a comment

[Philadelphia, PA] – April 12, 2011 – In an increasingly more global world, a lot of students are looking for ways to expand their learning experiences to be able to take in more of the world around them. They are looking to study abroad programs to get this experience, vising countries ranging from Costa Rica to France and beyond. An industry leader in providing students with these types of experiences, AmeriSpan Inc. has stepped forward to help with some common mistakes that students make when looking to have this kind of educational experience. “The three biggest mistake we see are participants paying too much. The same exact semester program in Costa Rica ranges from $6,000 to more than $10,000 depending on how a participant registers for a program. In addition, many forget to utilize financial aid or taking advantage of Study Abroad Scholarships,” commented John Slocum, Co-Founder of AmeriSpan. This obvious discrepancy in price not only ends up costing students who are not aware of ways to reduce what they pay for these invaluable experiences, it also ends up excluding many students who believe they do not have the means to afford such experiences as a way to broaden their education.

Students have so few resources for learning about the best and most cost effective means by which to experience these types of programs that they often end up not realizing that there are a number of scholarships just for students who want to study abroad. It is also possible to use federal financial aid to help fund participation in programs such as the one offered in AmeriSpan Study Abroad. This opens the doors ad levels the playing field for a large number of students who would otherwise mistakenly assume that studying in other countries is something for others who have a lot of money or some sort of insider tip. There are many other mistakes that are made and AmeriSpan has made it their goal to help clear things up for students so that more people will be able to attend these types of educational experiences which can be strongly beneficial towards their career goals as well as their personal goals for their own lives.

Students who wish to learn more should check out AmeriSpan’s study abroad e-reports which they can download to learn the 10 Biggest Study Abroad Mistakes. The report costs nothing for those who would like to examine it to learn about these programs.

Founded in 1993, AmeriSpan Study Abroad offers more than 100 study abroad, language-learning and volunteer programs worldwide for participants of all ages and language level. The Philadelphia-based organization has long been an innovator in the study abroad field, building its reputation by offering high quality, low cost language immersion programs. In September 2010, the company was awarded its 2nd consecutive ‘Star Award’ as the Best Agency in North America. The industry’s prestigious Star Award is voted by organizations worldwide and awarded annually.
