Better Insurance Deals via 2Insure4Less.com Are a Special Holiday Treat
Thu ,31/12/2009PR Newswire, Dec 23, 2009
NORTH HOLLYWOOD, Calif., Dec. 23 /PRNewswire/ — Most individuals spend the holiday season trying to find the perfect gift for colleagues and loved ones. But 2Insure4Less.com (http://www.2insure4less.com) suggests that consumers also treat themselves to a personal holiday special: free insurance rate comparison for all types of insurance.
“Many people are paying more than they should for their insurance premiums,” said Furkat Kasimov of 2Insure4Less.com. “Everyone should compare insurance quotes, even if they already have coverage, because insurance rates are not standardized across the industry. One insurance company may offer discounts that another provider does not. Plus, different companies may offer price differences due to their specific risk assessment guidelines or their recent profits and losses.”
On the Web site’s home page, consumers select from an assortment of icons representing various personal and business insurance offerings. Next, they complete an electronic questionnaire by typing in information about their geographical location, relevant circumstances and so on. Once the form is completed, a user activates the “Get My Quotes” button to launch a search for insurance referrals from licensed insurance carriers and insurance agents that operate within the user’s state of residence. Within minutes, users can receive and review available policies.
“While obtaining insurance quotes used to be a time-consuming affair, with our free online service, and cutting-edge technology, you can quickly and efficiently compare insurance premiums and quotes from multiple companies in your vicinity,” stated Kasimov. “You can find insurance quotes for home, renter’s, disability, long-term care, cancer, burial, life insurance, annuity, general liability for your business, workers’ compensation and much more. Another benefit to our service is that you only have to enter your information once instead of making multiple phone calls, repetitively submitting the same data at different Web sites or suffering through lengthy meetings with agents.”
2Insure4Less.com is not an insurance company, but its experience and partnership with members of the insurance industry enables it to offer consumers tips on how to determine the amount of insurance coverage needed as well as insurance news, law changes and other relevant information. The Web site also contains an extensive article archive containing advice on buying various types of insurance. “You’d be amazed by how much you can save,” concluded Kasimov.

1Stop Travel Insurance Urge ‘Scamps’ To Get Proper Cover Before Setting Off Round-The-World
Tue ,29/12/2009PR Newswire, Dec 4, 2009
BASILDON, England, Dec. 4 /PRNewswire/ — 1Stop Travel Insurance are today urging the new breed of office worker, so called ’scamps’, to ensure they take out adequate travel insurance before setting off on round-the-world trips.
A new report by recruitment consultants Office Angels, quoted in the Daily Mail, has found that many office workers value travelling the world more than climbing the career ladder and one in seven want to work abroad, with New York and Sydney coming in as the most desirable locations.
Findings from the research show that this new generation of ’scamps’ recognise that “money and work are not the be-all and end-all of life” and are eager to pursue “new experiences” abroad.
A spokesperson from 1Stop Travel Insurance said “Over the last few years we have seen a marked increase in the proportion of our customers taking extended trips overseas” and it seems that this increase has not just come from the traditional gap year market; people are opting to take time out from work to travel.
“Backpacking around the globe is a great way to have new experiences and a welcome distraction from the stresses of city living and working.”
What’s more, Office Angels say that many employers look favourably on candidates who are well travelled as this can show character and maturity, so this trend looks set to continue.

Red light for taxi office
Tue ,29/12/2009Huddersfield Daily Examiner (Huddersfield, England), Dec 18, 2009
RESIDENTS blocked a plan to open a taxi office on their busy road.
Twenty-two people had written to Kirklees Council objecting to the plan to convert a disused hairdresser’s on Blackmoorfoot Road in Crosland Moor.
They were concerned that the taxi office would add to parking problems on the narrow road.
Margaret Tyler told the sub-committee: “Traffic is horrendous up that road. I’m disabled and I need to know there’s a space outside my home.”
Darius Woodstock said: “It’s chaos down there. When my relatives come to visit they can’t find a place to park.
“It’s totally unacceptable to have a taxi office.”
Dr Makinder Dhinsa, who runs a dental practice across the street from the proposed taxi office said it would take valuable parking spaces.
He said: “Our patients will find it difficult to come, especially if they are disabled.”
The sub-committee voted unanimously to refuse permission.
Lack of Preparedness Puts Homeowners Living in Wildfire-Prone Areas at Risk
Mon ,28/12/2009Business Wire, Dec 03, 2009
ACE Private Risk Services Twelve-Step Guide Helps Families
Protect their Homes
PHILADELPHIA — ACE Private Risk Services, part of the ACE Group, today
reported that owners of high value homes in wildfire-prone areas are at
risk of fire damage due to failure to address twelve important issues as
outlined in the companys Wildfire Safety and Preparedness program for
its ACE Platinum Portfolio policyholders.
As part of the program, independent fire safety experts visited
California homes in high-risk locations and used the guidelines to
develop a plan for the owners to reduce the vulnerability of their
family and home to wildfires. These guidelines, along with the
percentage of homes visited that met each during the initial visit, are:
- Install flame- and ember-resistant vent covers (0%).
- Use fire-resistant paint on all exterior walls (2%).
-
Trim tree branches to clear walls, siding, or decks by at least 10
feet (6%). -
Move combustible material 30 feet away from the structure or store it
indoors (21%). -
Maintain vertical clearance between tops of shrubs and bottom branches
of trees at no less than three times the height of the shrubs (23%). -
Trim tree limbs so no branch on tall trees is closer than six feet
from the ground (24%). - Install seismic gas shut-off valves (32%).
-
Space trees and shrubs to provide proper horizontal clearance. Shrubs
should be at least twice as far apart as they are high on flat or mild
slopes; double the distance on steeper slopes. Tree crowns should be
up to 18 feet apart, depending on their proximity to the home; double
the distance on steeper slopes (34%). -
Eliminate open voids on the roof, under the garage, and around windows
(34%). - Trim dead or dying branches from trees and shrubs (48%).
- Clear surface litter around the home (82%).
- Mow grass to four inches or less (91%).
While most homeowners had cleared litter and tall grass, the vast
majority still had work to do on the other guidelines. Homes that follow
the ACE Private Risk Services guidelines are less prone to be damaged in
wildfires. They often do not require spraying and other last-minute
measures, thus making it easier for families to focus on evacuating
safely.
We are very conscious of family safety in addition to property
protection for our clients, said Gary Raphael, Senior Vice President of
Claims and Risk Consulting at ACE Private Risk Services. That is why we
have designed the Wildfire Safety and Preparedness program to include
the development of a thorough evacuation plan for the family. Well even
help them rehearse fire drills.

Also provided is the percentage of homes that met the guidelines,
according to the wildfire safety experts evaluation.
About the ACE Platinum Portfolio
ACE Private Risk Services designed the ACE Platinum Portfolio personal
insurance program to meet the unique needs of affluent and high net
worth individuals and families. In California, homeowners often have
high value homes in scenic locations where wildfires represent a
substantial threat. High value homes insured by the ACE Platinum
Portfolio policy receive a complimentary home and safety assessment by a

Your Veterinarian’s Advice About Your Dog is Your Best Bet
Sun ,27/12/2009If you are one of the few who has been blessed with the presence of a dog at home, are best advised to check with the veterinarian in order to make sure their furry friend is in top shape. Considering the amount of junk mixed up with dog food and other supplements, it is hard to tell if your dog is receiving the benefits a well balanced diet has to offer.
Start out by selecting a good veterinarian, if you don’t already have one. A reputable vet will only have your dog’s best interest in mind. Through a thorough examination, the veterinarian will be able to diagnose your dog’s health condition. Some may be obvious, such as a weight issue, or deteriorated teeth and gums. But other conditions such as anemia and renal problems may not be so easy to detect.
After a careful examination, you are likely to be recommended a diet for your dog, which more often than not will turn out to be dry kibbles. A bag of kibbles is the most common suggestion due to its teeth cleaning properties. As the dog chews on dry food, he will also be cleaning his teeth and gums. However, you could end up with a totally different diet depending on the examination results. Your vet will want to discuss your dog’s eating habits, including feeding schedule and the quality and quantity of snacks you give him.
Every dog is unique, and as he grows and ages, your vet will get to know him better. As time goes by you will find yourself working together with the veterinarian as a team, and figuring out what best influences your dog while discarding others. Some animals have unique eating disorders that can lead to overweight issues, and thus, require special treatment and a controlled diet. Other specific qualities of your dog may be his surroundings. It is almost certain that your vet will suggest different servings for dogs living in an apartment, than their counterparts living in the country.
The eating habits of your dog are of up most importance to his health. Your pet’s vet will be able to recommend any vitamins and minerals in the form of supplements to feed your dog in the event he is lacking any essential nutrients in his meals.
Some of the things your vet will be on the lookout during your visit will be healthy teeth and gums, healthy joints, strong skin and fur, among others. Usually these ailments are treated through the dogs food, or through the use of supplements in his diet
