Innovative Vocabulary Building Book Improves Language

Leave a comment

Published by Halo Publishing International, Ten Dollar Words for Kids will empower readers with the knowledge and understanding of new words.

Houston, TX (USA), December 06, 2013 — Increasing a child’s vocabulary is easy if you simply introduce them to words, says dad Kevin Kennedy, author of the new book Ten Dollar Words for Kids.

“There are more than a million words in the English language, but we use very few,” Kennedy said. He started teaching his own children a variety of words early in their lives to help them have expanded vocabularies. It was almost a game, but the result is they know more words than their peers, explained Kennedy.

Published by Halo Publishing International, Ten Dollar Words for Kids will empower readers with the knowledge and understanding of new words. “It’s for kids to learn big and prosper,” said the author.

Halo Publisher Lisa Umina said Ten Dollar Words for Kids plants seeds for developing learning curiosity. “It inspires children to learn even more and an improved vocabulary will benefit them throughout their lives,” Umina said.

Kennedy has a vision to develop Ten Dollar Words for Kids books tailored to a variety of medicines such as dentistry, psychiatry, pediatrics, etc., and maybe even other complex professions. “Big words are there to use, not to wonder what they mean,” he said.

“A larger and more complex vocabulary at an early age is essential to setting our children up for success. Ten Dollar Words for Kids books are all about building the vocabulary of a child, and maybe a little about refreshing the minds of teens and adults in a most extraordinary way.”

Kennedy served in the U.S. Navy for more than 25 years, a service tradition modeled after his father and brother. The youngest child of loving and bright parents, Kennedy graduated from Upper Arlington High School, near Columbus, Ohio. He earned a bachelor’s degree at Southern Illinois University at Carbondale and retired from the Navy in 2010. The author resides with his wife, Martha, in Chesapeake, Va. He is the father of four children, ages 27, 18 and twin 6-year-olds, all with better than average vocabularies.

Leave a comment

Enservio, Inc., today announced that Security First Insurance, a Florida-based homeowners insurance company, will now offer its policyholders the ReStore Security First Insurance Prepaid MasterCard, a prepaid card loaded with claim settlement funds in the event of losses to personal property.

Needham, MA (USA), November 26th, 2013 — Enservio, Inc., ( http://www.enservio.com ) the nation’s leading provider of software and services to property insurers, today announced that Security First Insurance, a Florida-based homeowners insurance company with nearly 180,000 customers, will now offer its policyholders the ReStore Security First Insurance Prepaid MasterCard, a prepaid card loaded with claim settlement funds in the event of losses to personal property. Claims settlement by prepaid cards give claimants access to their funds up to 3X faster than a traditional paper check.

The Security First Insurance-branded ReStore Card allows policyholders to pay for additional living expenses, such as alternative housing and necessities, when homes are severely damaged and no longer livable. Policyholders can begin using the ReStore Card immediately to make purchases everywhere Debit MasterCard is accepted, transfer funds to their bank account, and withdraw cash from participating MoneyPass ATMs, all with no fee. The card eliminates the need for policyholders to travel to the bank and wait the one- to three-day period for a check to clear.

According to the Insurance Research Council, the severity of homeowners’ insurance claims has increased almost 200 percent in the U.S. over a 15-year period. As the frequency and severity of homeowners’ insurance claims continue to rise, it’s important for Florida homeowner insurance companies to improve the claim process and operate as efficiently as possible—especially after a disaster when tens of thousands of claims can be reported in just a few days.

SmartTOP Add-On Convertible Top Controller for Volkswagen Beetle Announced

Leave a comment

The aftermarket SmartTOP Convertible Top Controller made by Mods4cars allows owners to put the top up or down with one-touch convenience while driving and remotely from the original key fob. SmartTOP modules are available for all popular modern convertibles and roadsters. The most recent addition to the product line is the new Volkswagen Beetle convertible.

Las Vegas, NV (USA), November 26th, 2013 — Aftermarket electronics specialist Mods4cars just announced the soon to be available SmartTOP add-on Convertible Top Controller for the Volkswagen Beetle convertible. In just a few weeks the new kit will become available and make use of the top easier and more fun. The module adds one-touch convenience to the console switch, eliminating the need to hold down the switch for the duration of the operation. A quick tap is enough to fully open or close the top. This allows owners to enjoy the top-down driving experience more often.

In addition to the one-touch feature from inside, the SmartTOP kit adds another neat feature. The top can be raised or lowered fully automatically from the original key fob remote with just a quick combination of key presses.

“Top control from the original key fob is a very popular feature with our customers. It allows putting the top down on hot days, even before reaching the car”, says PR-Manager Sven Tornow. “The feature can also come in handy when trying to transport bigger items on the back seat. Our customer will not need to get in the car first and manually lower the top in order to start loading. A quick use of the fob opens the top, saving time and providing the ultimate user experience.” Sven Tornow continues.

It is possible to get in the car and start the engine while the top is moving. A top operation started from the remote will not be interrupted by turning the engine on. If needed, the entire module can be temporarily disabled. A standard mini USB port built into the module allows quick and easy programming of all user configurable settings as well as flashing firmware updates which will always be available free of charge online.

The SmartTOP Convertible Top Controller for the Volkswagen Beetle convertible will sport the new, custom designed Mods4cars enclosure. Apart from its sleek, fully sealed design it sports two LEDs for detailed status information. The kit comes with a wiring adapter that allows quick and easy installation in the car.

The convenience add-on kit for the Volkswagen Beetle is available for 249 Euros + tax.

SmartTOP Convertible Top kits are available for: Alfa, Audi, Bentley, BMW, Ferrari, Ford, Infiniti, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Mini, Nissan, Opel, Peugeot, Porsche, Renault, Volvo and Volkswagen.

About Mods4cars:
Mods4cars was founded in 2002 with the idea to add a highly demanded feature to the otherwise almost perfect Porsche Boxster: Comfort One-Touch roof operation while driving at slow speeds. The resulting product offered not only that, but also allowed quick and easy installation by just swapping out a relay box, thus leaving no traces and no permanent changes on the vehicle. The first SmartTOP roof controller was born.

The success of their first products in Germany and Europe prompted them in late 2004 to move operations to the USA, to be able to serve the American market as well as all other English speaking countries such as Australia, UK and South Africa from one central location. Their business has grown to a full-fledged international corporation with an office in Las Vegas and a full line of innovative products as well as distributors and installation partners all over the globe.

Being highly specialized in the development and distribution of aftermarket roof- and comfort controllers since 2002 allows them to offer an unsurpassed level of competence and product quality. Their main goal is optimization of each individual product to a maximum in compatibility, usability and intuitive operation. They put greatest effort into development and quality checks of all their products to achieve this goal and meet all expectations of their customers.

The extraordinary success of their products is also based on the great communication with their customers, which usually already starts for each new product during the development and prototyping phase.

Story Eases Children’s Bedtime Fears

Leave a comment

Helps to Improve Their Reading Skills.

Houston, TX (USA), November 15, 2013 — Future educator Alicia Lloyd’s new book When the Monsters Are Quiet will help children become more proficient readers while easing their bedtime fears. “The inspiration for the book truthfully came from my own experience,” Lloyd said. “I was sleeping in a different place and hearing all kinds of unfamiliar noises. My boyfriend later asked me how I slept, and I told him ‘eventually, when the monsters were quiet.’”

Published by Halo Publishing International, When the Monsters Are Quiet offers helpful hints for parents to improve reading and calm their child’s fears of darkness. “Alicia Lloyd took a common fear and created a story that will help children face it while also improving their reading proficiency,” said Halo Publisher Lisa Umina.

Lloyd said When the Monsters Are Quiet is a friendly book that will help children realize there are just different noises in the dark, not monsters. The story’s main character is a young boy modeled after Lloyd’s younger brother Zachary, now 13. “He had those big blue eyes and space pajamas,” said the author.

Lloyd said she has wanted to be a teacher since she was a young child. She attended a Teacher Academy while still in high school and after graduation earned an Associate’s Degree in Education from Delaware County Community College in Pennsylvania. Presently, Lloyd is in her senior year at West Chester University of Pennsylvania where she is working towards her Bachelor’s Degree in Early Grades Preparation (pre-Kindergarten through fourth grade) and Special Education. She has a strong passion for working with children and is employed as a preschool teacher at Nottingham Country Daycare in Nottingham, Pennsylvania- very close to where she resides in Oxford, Pennsylvania. Lloyd said she has always enjoyed writing and hopes to publish other books in the future.
