Immediate life insurance website launched, first in world
Oct 06

Tuesday, May 15, 2007

The first website in the world allowing consumers to buy life insurance online instantly has been launched today, targeting specifically New Zealanders.

The website, run by life insurance company Pinnacle Life, allows New Zealanders in many countries in the world to buy life insurance online without the need for a medical examination. Once the application has been approved, which is done immediately, the consumer can receive a $500,000 life insurance policy via an automatic e-mail. However, if certain conditions have been highlighted, then person to person contact is required to finalise the process.

Ed Saul, senior partner and architect of the new website, says, “We’re giving consumers a quicker and easier way to buy life insurance. Instead of submitting an application form and waiting days for a policy to be approved and issued, we do it online and we do it immediately.”

“The revolutionary website gives consumers complete control over the buying process whilst eliminating the previously obligatory involvement of people and paper. This is a global test case eagerly watched by the insurance industry around the world,” Mr Saul said.

When applying online, a few typical questions are asked on personal information and if the applicant has had any previous illnesses or diseases.

The countries where New Zealand citizens are allowed to apply are UK, Ireland, Canada, Australia, Hong Kong, Singapore and the USA.

Concierge? Whats That? Learn The Origin Of Concierge} Oct 04

Concierge? Whats that? Learn the origin of Concierge

by

JackieStewartMany people are becoming familiar with the term “concierge,”, however very few know the origin of this customer-service based profession. The word “concierge” evolves from the French comte Descierges, the “keeper of the candler,” a term that referred to the servant who attended to the whims of visiting noblemen at medieval castles. Eventually, the name “concierge” came to stand for keeper of the keys at public buildings, especially hotels. Regardless of the origin, hotels from around the world were the first ones to adopt the concierge idea and offer the service to their guests. Today, independent concierge companies have brought this ancient service to the modern world so that now everyone has access to them.The question still remains as to what exactly is a concierge? Many say that it is a short term or another word for personal assistant.The concierge industry came into existence about 10-15 years ago and started with a few brave pioneers who took the hotel concierge idea and decided to offer it to the corporate world. You can now find concierge everywhere; in hospitals, malls, corporations, apartment buildings, office buildings, airports, colleges, associations, churches and so on. You could sum up the state of the industry in two words, extraordinary growth.We all manage and balance our tasks and important assignments every day, and since many people dont have a personal assistant to make the phone calls and run the errands for them, they try and cram them into the weekend and on their lunch hour during the week. In fact, many people feel that there are simply not enough hours in the day to get everything done. Although the concierge industry is fairly new, the number of companies that are catering to time-starved people is skyrocketing as is the customer demand for such businesses. Why? Simple, people are trying to squeeze 36 hours into a 24-hour day.Here are a few services that are currently offered by concierge companies:

Search for tickets to concerts and special events

Transportation Services

Business Referral Service

Restaurant Recommendations and Reservations

Dry cleaning pick-up/delivery

Grocery shopping

Pet services

Senior care

Modified house sitting

Tickets to concerts and special events

Travel and Vacation Planning

Meeting and Event Planning

Concierge services are also a terrific new work/life benefit as corporations begin to offer these services to their employees and clients. Concierges are being added to hospitals, universities, shopping malls, airports and more. Certainly Concierge services are the wave of the future.

Texas Commissioner of Agriculture visits schools to kick off National School Lunch Week
Oct 04

Saturday, October 16, 2010

US Texas Commissioner of Agriculture Todd Staples visited Orr Elementary school in Tyler, Texas on Wednesday to kick off National School Lunch week for the state. Commissioner Staples spoke to over 200 students during lunch about the importance of eating healthy. “During the old days, the Three R’s in school meant ‘Reading, ‘Writing and ‘Arithmetic’ […] but I want you students to remember the three E’s: Education, Exercise and Eating right,” he stated.

The Commissioner asked students a variety of questions about state trivia such as the names of the state bird, the state tree and the state fruit. Students who answered correctly were awarded prizes.

During a short press conference following, Commissioner Staples stated his concerns regarding the health of children in Texas: “Current indications are that over 30 percent of children in [the United States of] America are struggling with childhood obesity. Estimates indicate that this issue alone can cost this county one-billion dollars in healthcare costs per year in the future.” “I applaud the city of Tyler for taking the Fit City challenge,” the Commisioner further stated.

National School Lunch Week runs from October 11th–15th. President Barack Obama issued a presidential proclamation naming October 11th–15th the National School Lunch Week.

Oct 04

Monday, December 31, 2007

What would you tell your grandchildren about 2007 if they asked you about it in, let’s say, 20 year’s time? If the answer to a quiz question was 2007, what would the question be? The year that you first signed on to Facebook? The year Britney Spears and Amy Winehouse fell apart? The year author Kurt Vonnegut or mime Marcel Marceau died, both at 84?

Let’s take a look at some of the international stories of 2007. Links to the original Wikinews articles are in bold.

Oct 03

Saturday, April 17, 2010

Journalist, counselor, painter, and US 2012 Presidential candidate Joe Schriner of Cleveland, Ohio took some time to discuss his campaign with Wikinews in an interview.

Schriner previously ran for president in 2000, 2004, and 2008, but failed to gain much traction in the races. He announced his candidacy for the 2012 race immediately following the 2008 election. Schriner refers to himself as the “Average Joe” candidate, and advocates a pro-life and pro-environmentalist platform. He has been the subject of numerous newspaper articles, and has published public policy papers exploring solutions to American issues.

Wikinews reporter William Saturn? talks with Schriner and discusses his campaign.
