Online Auto Insurance Explains Important Differences in Physical Damage Coverages

Posted: 28 Mar 2011 05:15 AM PDT

Sacramento, CA, March 28, 2011 –(PR.com)– In most states, there are three different types of auto insurance coverages pertaining to damages to cars and other types of property: property damage liability, collision and comprehensive.

Property damage liability actually does not cover damage to the policyholder’s own car. Rather, it can be used to pay for damages to other people’s cars that were caused by the policyholder.

On the other hand, there are also comprehensive and collision policies, which do cover damages incurred by the insured vehicle. But there are important differences between these two, as the writers at OnlineAutoInsurance.com point out in a recent FAQ.

Comprehensive and collision are usually pretty affordable auto insurance types, especially if the buyer opts for higher deductible levels. For example, a 35-year-old male Californian who raises deductibles from $250 to $500 can save around 15 percent by doing so.

The National Association of Insurance Commissioners reported that in 2008 – the most recent year for which data is available – the national average premium on a comprehensive policy was about $300, and it was about $134 for collision.

There’s a reason that collision tends to cost so much more than comprehensive. According to data made available by the Insurance Information Institute, in 2009 comprehensive claims were filed at about half the rate of collision claims, and the average size of a comprehensive pay-out was less than half that of the average collision pay-out.

This can at least partly be attributed to the types of incidents that each type covers. Damages protected by collision include those caused by striking another vehicle or object and by the flipping over of an auto. Damages covered under comprehensive include theft, vandalism, fire, glass breakage, hitting an animal and hail damage.

Source: http://insurance.ca.gov/0100-consumers/0060-information-guides/0010-automobile/Auto-insurance-101.cfm

Another important distinction between property damage liability and comprehensive and collision coverages is that the former is required by law in most states, while the latter two are optional coverages. OnlineAutoInsurance.com advises consumers to keep in mind the actual worth of their cars when deciding whether to add these optional protections

Hereditary Conditions Such as Legg Perthes Disease Are Not Automatically Considered Pre-Existing, Says Trupanion

Posted: 28 Mar 2011 05:15 AM PDT

Seattle, WA, March 28, 2011 –(PR.com)– Pet insurance providers typically do not cover congenital conditions, as by definition they are present at birth, making them pre-existing. However, Trupanion, North America’s fastest-growing pet insurance provider, will cover these conditions as long as the pet had full policy coverage before the first signs or symptoms of the condition were noted. Legg Perthes disease is one such condition.

Legg-Perthes disease (also known as Legg-Calve-Perthes disease, aseptic necrosis of the femoral head, Perthes disease, or Legg’s disease) is a congenital condition that has no known cause. The condition is characterized by the disruption of blood to the upper part of the femur bone at the hip, causing the bone to degenerate, deform, fracture, and die. When the bone cells die, they are replaced by tissue that is not as hard as bone. Eventually, the hip collapses and the dog becomes painfully immobile.

The condition usually involves just one hip, but in some cases can involve both. Symptoms include pain when stretching, lameness, favoring one leg, reluctance to move, and chewing or licking the hip joint during movement. Pet owners who notice these symptoms should contact their veterinarian immediately.

Legg-Perthes disease occurs more commonly in young, small-breed dogs between five and 12 months of age. Some of the most common dog breeds affected are Bichon Frise, Boston Terrier, Cairn Terrier, Chihuahua, Cocker Spaniel, Dachshund, Miniature Pinscher, Miniature Schnauzer, Pekingese, Pomeranian, Poodle, and Pug.

The good news is that once dogs are treated for Legg Perthes disease, their outlook is good. Most dogs are able to live long and active lives without physical restrictions. The bad news is that treatment is expensive, costing up to $7,000, depending on the treatment type.

Many pet insurance companies won’t cover this treatment because of the congenital nature of the condition. Choosing a pet insurance provider that covers hereditary and congenital issues can help alleviate financial stress, allowing the pet owner to choose the best treatment option.

Power of Predictive Plant Maintenance Shared by To-Increase

Posted: 28 Mar 2011 04:44 AM PDT

Norwell, MA, March 28, 2011 –(PR.com)– To-Increase, a provider of Microsoft Dynamics solutions for discrete and industrial equipment manufacturing, shares the power that predictive plant maintenance wields over the bottom-line of Industrial Equipment Manufacturers (IEM) in a new blog post and article due for publication in Prime Magazine.

The blog post, The Crystal Ball of Plant Maintenance, leverages the source article Streamline the Plant Floor by Herbert van de Ridder. Due for publication in late March, van de Ridder’s article begins with the fundamental statement that today’s manufacturers are facing the need to produce their products faster and at lower cost. As such, the demands placed on today’s manufacturers have transformed the notion of increasing efficiency into a buzz-worthy topic.

"Imagine how efficient your manufacturing plant could be if your production planning schedule allowed you to predict – unequivocally – when major equipment was due for maintenance," states post author Luciano Cunha, Global Industry Director, To-Increase, "But put aside what this would mean to the rather broad notion of efficiency – and predict instead what this would mean to your quantifiable bottom-line."

Cunha’s post goes on to highlight the fact that many manufacturers adhere to ad hoc maintenance schedules, whereby schedules are based on little more than discussions between production planners and maintenance staff.

"The concern with taking a looser approach to plant and equipment maintenance is that it is in sharp contrast with the needs of today’s manufactures and the demands of customers," states Cunha. "To be most effective, maintenance schedules require a basis in real-time, global visibility – rather than undocumented conversation. And this is where the crystal ball of plant maintenance comes into play."

In concluding his post, Cunha cites examples from van de Ridder’s article, whereby major manufacturers have been able leverage the real-time visibility capabilities of plant maintenance solutions to predict when critical machinery is due for maintenance. The result for manufacturers that have leveraged solutions offering real-time visibility and global insight is more effective maintenance planning, and more reliable quoting of due dates to customers.

"Predictive plant maintenance, fundamentally, means an increase in production efficiency," concludes Cunha. "But more importantly – it means faster output and happier customers – perhaps the two most important factors that add up to a thicker bottom-line."

Within this post, you will have the opportunity to pre-register to receive Herbert van de Ridder’s article, Streamline the Plant, due for publication in Prime Magazine this month.

RoadLoK Security Announces New Website Launch

Posted: 28 Mar 2011 04:14 AM PDT

RoadLoK Security Announces New Website Launch

RoadLoK Security announces the launch of a new and redesigned website offering easier product navigation and a place for customers to create a direct link with the RoadLoK factory.

Newburgh, NY (PRWEB) March 28, 2011

RoadLoK Security, manufacturer of motorcycle locking systems, launches its newly redesigned website for visitors to create a direct link between the end user and the manufacturer.

THE NEWS

RoadLoK Security has announced the launch of a redesigned website – http://www.roadlok.com – where customers, dealers and potential licensees can learn about RoadLoK Security and their line of innovative locking systems. "Our new website focuses on ease of navigation helping customers find the right locking system for their motorcycle", says President, Adam Xavier. "We are able to efficiently communicate information to our customers seeking to learn about advanced security products." The website has been designed to create a direct link between the RoadLoK manufacturing facility and its end users.

NEW NAVIGATION AND SEARCHING

Roadlok.com has been designed around an easy-to-use navigation system that locates the correct locking system as visitors enters specific motorcycle information. Due to the fact that the RoadLoK system is precisely engineered for each motorcycle model, a product identifier is necessary. By directing visitors through a series of questions the exact system is identified ultimately eliminating incorrect system purchases. The new product identifier has been proven to reduce with product fit issues while increasing efficiency in order fulfillment.

In addition to the model identifier, site visitors also have the option to search for product by keyword. Using keywords pertaining to motorcycle information such as the make, model or even a common nickname results in a list of appropriate systems for that specific motorcycle.

UNIQUE VISITOR ACCOUNTS

In addition to accurate product searching, visitors have the option to create accounts where information can be stored related to their locking system purchases, key codes and contact information. In the event that a replacement key is needed, the factory has direct access to the information allowing a substantial reduction in the time it takes to produce and ship a replacement key.

Visitor accounts can be created for end users and retailers visiting the site. Retailer accounts create a direct connection with RoadLoK Security increasing the flow of information such as real-time order fulfillment, product changes and stock status. Ordering history, product pricing, special promotions and easier return procedures can all be managed within a retailer account.

MULTIMEDIA

"New visitors of the RoadLoK site are looking for information on how to better protect their motorcycles.", states Dennis McWatters, Operations Manager at RoadLoK Security. "Some first time visitors are not familiar with how the RoadLoK works – this is where videos are a powerful tool to help explain how our product works." Product videos and images are integrated directly on product pages demonstrating product benefits and features to help with purchasing decisions.

DEALER LOCATORS

The new RoadLoK Security website will allow greater access to its products with the implementation of the Authorized Dealer Locator. With over 10,000 dealerships nationwide having access to RoadLoK systems through Tucker Rocky Distributing, visitors in even the most remote locations have the opportunity to try the product before they buy it.

The new website was launched in early March with weekly product and news updates.

ABOUT ROADLOK SECURITY

RoadLoK Security, LLC is a New York based licensing and manufacturing company that specializes in the design and production of model-specific vehicle locking systems. The RoadLoK system is patented both domestically and internationally. The RoadLok is the only locking system that safely and effectively prevents roll away theft.

The New 2011 Mercedes-Benz CL-Class

Posted: 28 Mar 2011 03:28 AM PDT

The New 2011 Mercedes-Benz CL-Class

With stylish, eye-catching design, exclusive appointments and cutting-edge technology, the extensively updated 2011 Mercedes-Benz CL-Class underscores its flagship position in the world of refined automobiles. Powered by a new 429-hp V8 biturbo engine which achieves a 10-15% improvement in fuel economy and 23% improvement in CO2 emissions, the CL550 4MATIC opens a new dimension of efficiency in the luxury coupe segment. This significant reduction is achieved thanks to the newly-developed BlueDIRECT technology with third-generation spray-guided direct injection, energy-efficient control of alternator, fuel pump, air-conditioning compressor and power-assisted steering system. It also features the use of low rolling resistance tires and, on the CL600, the energy-optimized Active Body Control system. In addition, the Mercedes-Benz developers equipped the CL-Class with state-of-the-art multimedia technology, thus helping this model retain its position as the epitome of quality in its class.

(PRWeb UK) March 28, 2011

With stylish, eye-catching design, exclusive appointments and cutting-edge technology, the extensively updated 2011 Mercedes-Benz CL-Class underscores its flagship position in the world of refined automobiles. Powered by a new 429-hp V8 biturbo engine which achieves a 10-15% improvement in fuel economy and 23% improvement in CO2 emissions, the CL550 4MATIC opens a new dimension of efficiency in the luxury coupe segment. The 2011MY CL-Class will make its U.S. debut in Autumn of 2010.

The new generation of the CL-Class, Mercedes-Benz is emphasizing fuel consumption and exhaust gas emissions in this exclusive high-end segment. According to Dr Dieter Zetsche, Chairman of the Board of Management of Daimler AG: "The CL is the ideal ambassador for our brand."

Design: a muscular, confident presence

The front bumper presents a new three air intake design accented with a prominent chrome trim strip. An LED strip with chrome surround for the daytime running lights is elegantly integrated in the side openings for the brake cooling air. With standard Bi-Xenon Headlamps with active curve illumination and Adaptive Highbeam Assist, the headlamps offer state-of-the-art illumination. LED turn indicators and position marker lamps round off the car's advanced image while the rear of the vehicle is characterized by the newly-designed tail lamps.

New V8 bi-turbo engine with innovative technology

The new-generation CL-Class also assumes a pioneering role with its drivetrain. Under the hood of the CL550 4MATIC a new V8 biturbo engine with BlueDIRECT technology delivers impressive power. With its 4663 cc displacement, the eight-cylinder engine produces 429 hp so that despite 0.8 liters less displacement, it is still around 12 percent more powerful than its predecessor. At the same time, torque was raised from 391 lb-ft to 516 lb-ft – an increase of 32 percent. The new engine achieves a 10-15% improvement in fuel economy and 23% improvement in CO2 emissions. The CL5550 4MATIC requires a mere 4.9 seconds to accelerate from a standstill to 60 mph (previous model: 5.4 seconds).

The BlueDIRECT technology package of the V8 biturbo includes a series of new developments.

The CL600, with its 510 hp 12-cylinder biturbo engine and 612 lb-ft. of torque remains the top-of-the-line model: it accelerates the luxury coupé from a standstill to 60 mph in a breathtaking 4.5 seconds.

A unique combination of driver-assistance systems

These highly perceptive assistants convert the coupe into a "thinking" partner that can see, feel and react instantly if it detects a hazard, acting autonomously to prevent accidents or to mitigate their effects. The trailblazing driver assistance systems in the CL-Class are based on state-of-the-art radar, camera and sensor technology.

Active Lane Keeping Assist is a new safety feature making its debut on the CL-Class as part of the optional Driver Assistance Package.

Targeted brake actuation: Active Blind Spot Assist

Another innovation Mercedes-Benz offers for the CL-Class is Active Blind Spot Assist, a system that makes use of a multi-stage warning concept. If the system detects that a lane change would be too dangerous, it warns the driver by displaying a red triangle in the glass of the exterior mirror. Close-range radar sensors monitor the area immediately to the side and to the rear of the car. If the driver disregards this warning and, for example, uses the turn indicator, an audible warning also sounds. If the driver continues to ignore the warnings and comes dangerously close to a vehicle in the neighboring lane, the system acts: a corrective braking intervention via ESP® is applied to the wheels of the opposite side of the vehicle. This causes a yaw movement about the car's vertical axis due to the unequal distribution of the braking forces.

Assistants to see and be seen better

The Adaptive High Beam Assist system is now offered as standard equipment on the CL-Class. This camera-based system can recognize oncoming vehicles or vehicles ahead with their lights on, and then softly transitions from high-beam to low beam to create the best possible lighting conditions without dazzling other drivers. In addition, Mercedes-Benz offers the optional Night View Assist PLUS system for the CL-Class, featuring a special infra-red camera for pedestrian detection: pedestrians are now specifically highlighted in the display, to help alert the drivers in low light conditions.

An "electronic crumple zone": the PRE-SAFE® Brake

Mercedes-Benz offers another radar based system for the luxury coupé as a component of the Driver Assistance Package: PRE-SAFE® Brake with automatic emergency braking.

ATTENTION ASSIST Warns Drowsy Drivers:

Drowsiness is one of the most common causes of accidents. This is why Mercedes experts have developed the ATTENTION ASSIST system which forms part of the standard equipment of the new CL-Class.

Active Body Control reduces the effect of a crosswind

This latest stage in active body development modifies the wheel load distribution via the ABC spring struts within milliseconds (depending on crosswind direction and intensity) to help compensate for crosswind forces.

On-board infotainment: the most advanced multimedia technology

The CL-Class also sets standards for onboard infotainment. The latest innovation, SPLITVIEW technology, is optionally available for the COMAND system centrally located in the center console. This innovative display concept allows the driver and front passenger to view different contents simultaneously on the same screen. For example, while the driver uses the map-based navigation system, the front passenger can watch a DVD.

Interior: carefully selected materials and first-class finish

A total of four different kinds of fine wood open up the possibilities for perfectly matched material and color concepts: a choice of light or dark high-gloss burl walnut, black ash and high-gloss brown poplar on the CL600. Important to note: in accordance with Mercedes-Benz' corporate philosophy of sustainability, the CL-Class uses only European wood from renewable forestry sources. Most of the wood components are hand-made and matched individually for color and grain by experienced craftsmen.

Model range

Luxury and performance

  • Perfect combinations: equipment packages and driver assistance systems
  • CL600: a masterwork with top-of-the-line equipment
  • Exclusive individuality: the AMG Sports package and designo

Free Audiobook: “The New Revelation (Unabridged)”

Posted: 28 Mar 2011 03:02 AM PDT

The New Revelation (Unabridged) is available as a digital audiobook from Audible.com. The title, provided by White Crow Books and authored by Arthur Conan Doyle, has also become an American Consumer News favorite..

The digital audiobook The New Revelation (Unabridged), narrated by Stephen Gammond, has received an average rating of 5 stars on Audible.com. The title has a running length of 2 hours and 19 min. The audiobook was first released in December 2009 and a sample is available for download.

Audible.com’s description of the audiobook is “Sir Arthur Conan Doyle was one of Britain’s most celebrated writers with his invention of the ultimate detective, Sherlock Holmes, completely altering the crime-fiction genre of the late 19th century. As well as this, he was a pioneering sportsman, a doctor of medicine, and champion of the underdog, helping to free two men who were unjustly imprisoned. Of most importance to the man himself, however, was his belief in life after death and the spreading of the ‘vital message’. He received his degree in medicine from the University of Edinburgh Medical School in 1881 and by this time had already began investigating Spiritualism and had began attending seances, a fact that rebuffs the more common idea that he found Spiritualism after his son, Kingsley, died in 1918. In fact, by that time, not only had he studied Spiritualism for almost 30 years, he had even declared the fact and spoken publicly about his beliefs. His first book on the afterlife, The New Revelation, was published in March 1918, some months before Kingsley’s death, so it is fair to say that Arthur’s belief in Spiritualism was not a knee-jerk reaction to his son’s death. That said, by now World War One was raging and peoples thoughts were on the dead and dying, and Doyle himself is quoted as saying; “I might have drifted on my whole life as a psychical researcher…but the War came, and it brought earnestness into all our souls and made us look more closely at our own beliefs and reassess our values.”One year after publishing The New Revelation, Doyle followed it up with The Vital Message, in which he shares his thoughts on skepticism, religion, psychic phenomena, and Jesus.”

The audiobook is normally sold by Audible.com for $11.97, but if you’re not already an AudibleListener® member, you can take advantage of a special promotion and get The New Revelation (Unabridged) or any other audiobook for free with a 14-day free trial.

IHSE USA Introduces New Draco Compact HD-KVM Extender to Deliver HD Full Motion Video up to 80 Km Away

Posted: 28 Mar 2011 01:01 AM PDT

IHSE USA Introduces New Draco Compact HD-KVM Extender to Deliver HD Full Motion Video up to 80 Km Away

IHSE's new HD-KVM Extenders transmit outstanding motion video at high resolution for businesses that rely on visual displays from remote locations. Full control, as if you are there, without latency issues known to plague IP based systems. Support for USB HID, High Speed USB 2.0, Analog & Digital Audio, RS232, and single & dual DVI make for a complete single source solution at distances up to 80 km.

Monroe Township, NJ (PRWEB) March 28, 2011

IHSE announced the introduction of the Draco Compact HD-KVM Extender, a high performance device that enables broadcast, post production, visual media, and scientific imaging companies to extend full motion HD video up to 80 Km away. The Draco extender provides high definition digital video transmission of DVI signals up to resolutions of 1920X1200 or 2048X1152, with almost zero latency. These extenders combine multiple video encoding technologies created by IHSE to deliver the very best picture while a pixel mapping ratio of 1:1 ensures authentic display of the source video. In addition, USB HID, High Speed USB 2.0, analog or digital audio and serial data signals can be extended to distances up to 80 km.

With IHSE's Intelligent Video Encoding, the Draco Compact Extenders ensure outstanding visual display, a critical feature for businesses demanding high quality full motion video. When there is a need to deliver full screen motion video, the Draco Extender has the capability to process full screen moving video in real time without artifacts and almost zero latency. Performance is as if you were there, but with the power of being somewhere else up to 80 Km away.

"We love the outstanding video performance at HD resolutions and we were able to use our existing copper cabling which saved installation time and infrastructure expense," said Michael H. Amundson, Post Production Editor at FRONTLINE / WGBH in Boston.

"The Draco Compact Extenders helped us gain back valuable rack space because they replaced a pieced together solution that really did not work that well. Mouse & tablet latency issues are now history and our engineers/editors can spend time working instead of troubleshooting."

Outstanding video color accuracy makes the Draco Extenders a smart choice for color controlled environments such as broadcast; post production, visual media, and scientific imaging. Integration of 3rd party HID input devices such as trackballs and Wacom™ tablets are seamlessly supported.

The educational program will be designed to accommodate all levels of technical understanding, from novice through expert, with an emphasis on the design and management needs of enterprise IT and big data applications. The venue will also provide opportunities for CTOs, developers and software entrepreneurs to meet and mix with potential customers and investors.

Wilshire Conferences is currently accepting presentation proposals for NoSQL Now! and is looking for a wide range of talks to be proposed across all technical levels and across all NoSQL technologies. Presentations that include SQL extensions and SQL-hybrid topics will also be considered. Full details on the speaking opportunities available at the conference, and guidelines for submission are available at http://nosql2011.wilshireconferences.com/cfp.cfm. Submissions are due by April 18th.

The agenda for the NoSQL Now! Conference will be focused on solutions and approaches that can be implemented today, by those enterprises and government organizations which have significant data management and analysis requirements and need alternative solutions to traditional SQL-based products.

Hot topics will include:

Adoption strategies

Architecture trade-offs

Find Retirement or a Second Home Overseas with a New Social Network

Posted: 28 Mar 2011 01:00 AM PDT

Find Retirement or a Second Home Overseas with a New Social Network

If you are dreaming of moving overseas, living abroad, investing abroad or retiring abroad in warm, sunny and affordable retirement place, if you already moved to Latin America and want to interact with fellow expats or if you are a developer overseas, the SunnyComfort.com social network service is definitely for you.

Thornhill, Ontario, Canada (PRWEB) March 28, 2011

The Reidepot Corporation today announces its beta launch of a new snowbird and overseas retiree social networking website, SunnyComfort.com. It is designed to be a leading Internet resource for bringing together users from many different nationalities and backgrounds and for providing a social platform that allows users to interact with each other. Members looking for the best place to live in the Caribbean or Latin America can share stories, exchange information, post photos and videos, start or join groups, and much more.

The SunnyComfort.com social network allows users worldwide to create profiles, post photos and YouTube videos, and have conversations with other members. In addition, members can search for other members with similar countries of interest.

Users looking for retirement or a second home overseas can also search multiple listings of the various Caribbean and Central/South American pre-construction real estate projects. What makes Sunny Comfort listings truly special is the fact that all project listings are free and practically all linked directly to the main developer's web site. Developers are welcome to submit their pre-construction listings for free and post the latest project news, so SunnyComfort.com users will always find the most up to date information on the developer's official site.

"I am close to retirement myself and find it's frustrating to search for relevant and current information about developments in the countries I am interested in" says Alex Bezborodko, founder of the new Sunny Comfort social network. "In most cases an Internet search will lead to a bunch of outdated listings where you always need to register to receive additional information. Listings belong to real estate agents and in many cases developments listed on the agents' sites are already built or closed."

Members can sign up for a free account at http://www.SunnyComfort.com.

Whistleblower Hotline Provider Ethical Advocate Advances Ethics in the Boardroom

Jacob Blass, President of leading ethics hotline provider Ethical Advocate, will conduct a discussion on the Board's role in the ethical culture of the organization.

Carrboro, NC (PRWEB) March 28, 2011

The President of ethics hotline provider Ethical Advocate, Jacob Blass, will conduct a discussion on the Board's Role in the Ethical Culture of the Organization during the University of Maryland's Robert H. Smith School of Business Directors' Institute on April 6-8, 2011. The Directors' Institute, according to the organization website, "provides substantive instruction to participants allowing them to refresh and refine their knowledge while engaging with peers to develop best boardroom practices."

The session will help board members communicate effectively with each other and the CEO and understand the ethical and compliance risks an organization may face while doing business in today's economy. Is it sufficient to have an Ethics/Compliance Officer in management, to provide ethics training for employees, and to develop community/social programs? What role does the Board have in promoting an ethical and compliance culture? This session will teach how to create or adapt an effective ethics and compliance process to improve the overall performance of the firm.

The Directors' Institute will be held at the Ronald Reagan International Conference Center in Washington, D.C.. With insight from leading industry, legal, and financial services experts, government policy-makers, and academic authorities from the University of Maryland and other leading institutions, "the Directors' Institute offers participants a broad framework for making informed board decisions, exercising sound business judgment and developing leadership for members of the boardroom. Attendees will interact with and learn from leading industry experts and academic professionals, who have successfully navigated and researched the most pressing issues facing corporate boards today."

Prior to assuming the Presidency of Ethical Advocate, Jacob was President and CEO of four complex healthcare companies. Companies that he has led have been consistently recognized for their product excellence, including national recognition for best in class. Jacob has consulted to several multi-national companies on leadership, and the integration of organizational values, purpose and goals. He has served on the Boards of numerous organizations. He was a founding member of a national think-tank and served on the Master Planning Committee for the City of Boulder, Colorado.
