Combining Durability with Sleekness: Superior Titanium Releases New Top Quality Nitrate Finish Money Clip

Toronto, Canada December 1, 2008

The company that is best known for its sleek, top-of-the-line titanium money clips has just released its newest variety.

Superior Titanium&39;s newest money clip combines its trademark flexibility and springiness, with a quality titanium nitrate finish (very attractive gold color). Made with 100% Solid American Titanium, this newest money clip by Superior Titanium - Sleek, Durable Titanium Money Clips is not just titanium nitride coated but is also fabricated from solid titanium. The solid titanium construction provides the long life and functionality. The titanium nitride coating that is applied next gives the newest money clip its good looks and a finish that will stand up to abuse.

The Superior Titanium company started with 100% American titanium and fabricated a money clip to meet the needs of those people who want quality product that is not only made in North America but is also designed to last a lifetime and beyond. With its variety of money clips that are sleek, flexible, and springier than those made of other materials, Superior Titanium makes sure that your wad of bills is held securely.

"Our money clips are simple and practical, yet very fashionable. They help you store cash and credit cards in a convenient way, and are highly recommended for those who want to keep their cash and/or credit cards all the time without carrying around their cumbersome wallets," Dan Hirschorn of Superior Titanium Nitride Money Clips explained.

Titanium is a light, strong, lustrous, corrosion-resistant metal that is as strong as steel, but 45 percent lighter. It has a low magnetic signature and is not picked up by most metal detectors. Titanium does not become magnetized and has an extremely high melting point of 1800 degrees Celsius. It can be mixed with other elements to produce extra strong and lightweight alloys for use in jet engines, missiles, spacecraft, orthopedic implants and high quality jewelry among others. It was discovered in 1791 by William Gregor in England and named by Martin Heinrich Klaproth after the Titans of Greek mythology.

The most common use for a titanium nitride (TiN) coating is for edge retention and corrosion resistance on machine tooling, such as drill bits and milling cutters, often improving their lifetime by a factor of three or more. Of course, most of these tools, unlike our solid titanium money clips, are just coated with titanium nitride and then use lower cost steel under the coating. For functionality, and to make this unbreakable Superior Titanium used pure titanium construction throughout.

"What is great about our titanium money clips is that you can show them off to your friends, while at the same time, support North America&39;s quality manufacturing industry," Hirschorn enthused.

The strength and elasticity (or springiness) of titanium make it the perfect material for a money clip. Moreover, Superior Titanium Quality Titanium Nitride Money Clips can also be used to carry business cards, helping create a great impression when pulled out of a suit pocket.

"Another reason why our clients like traveling for work or vacation with our money clips is that they can put it in their front (pants) pocket, so it is much more concealed than a bulky wallet. It makes them feel a lot more comfortable knowing that people cannot easily see where they are carrying their money and credit cards," Hirschorn said.

Offering a host of other products made of titanium as well, Superior Titanium encourages its visitors and clients to fill out the feedback form on the website with their best idea for a titanium product or an improvement to one of its existing products.

"Our goal is to provide high quality products and we always listen to suggestions and feedbacks and use these in our effort to continuously improve the selection and quality of our products and services," says Dan Hirschorn.

M&S Money Warns England Fans to Take Care When Flying the Flag

Canary Wharf June 18, 2010

M&S Car insurance has announced that according to a new survey over a fifth (22%) of England fans will add a St. George flag to the family car this month to show their support for the England team whilst they play out in South Africa for the World Cup.

In the period leading up to the England team, captained by Steven Gerrard and led by manager Fabio Capello, played their first match against the USA on 12th of June, the survey revealed that almost as many women as men were planning on adding the flag to their car. This was 21% of women compared to 24% of men.

As a result of the survey findings which also revealed that 56% of those who are planning on placing a flag on their car will be attaching it to the antennae and 17% will place it by the passenger side wing mirror, and only 13% will be placing the flag in the front widescreen, M&S Car Insurance is advising motorists to put safety first and think carefully about where they position the flag on their vehicle. Worryingly, only 43% of the respondents stated that they believed that flags can be a distraction depending upon where they are placed.

Andrew Ferguson, M&S Head of General Insurance, said: "Many motorists and their families will be keen to demonstrate their support for England by placing a flag on their car. While it can be a popular way for fans to show their support, we are asking motorists to be aware of the safety issues to ensure they avoid any unnecessary accidents on the road."

Parents Spend Scary Sums on Treats this Halloween

London October 29, 2009

British parents will dish out &163;200 million* entertaining their children this Halloween according to a new study** from Egg, the internet bank and credit card provider. The money, &163;15.12* per family, will go on sweets, outfits, parties and presents, with parents&39; entertainment starting in earnest during the October half-term break.

In addition to the cost of Halloween, Egg&39;s study reveals that the average family in the UK collectively will spend nearly &163;270*** over the half term holidays keeping their offspring occupied, with the top five activities being:

1. Going out for lunch (60%)
2. Going to the cinema (52%)
3. Buying DVDs (42%)
4. Purchasing books/comics (41%)
5. Dishing out extra pocket money (24%)

Over three quarters (77 per cent) of parents admit they spend more money than they can afford in keeping their children busy over the half term break. Nearly a third (31 per cent) say it&39;s important to splash the cash to avoid their kids being bored, one in 11 (9 per cent) say it shows their kids how much they love them and one in 25 (4 per cent) admit they simply follow the lead from other parents.

Vanessa Wood, spokesperson at Egg.com, said: "Halloween has become much more of a calendar event in the UK than it used to be and we can see this reflected in the cost to parents. But Halloween is only the tip of the iceberg; keeping children entertained throughout half term also sees a big hit on the purse strings.

"So with Christmas not that far away it is wise for parents to get creative with their spending during this time and a good way to get back some of the cost is to make the most of rewards and cash-back schemes on credit cards.

"The Egg Money World MasterCard for example offers rewards and discounts on top online retailers, travel and day trip offers, as well as 1% cash-back on all purchases worldwide. So using Egg Money World MasterCard this half-term could earn the average family &163;27 - a useful help towards the Christmas stockings!"

Egg Money World MasterCard offers a unique package of rewards and benefits with 1% cash-back on all purchases worldwide, up to a maximum of &163;200. The Egg Money World MasterCard has a &163;1 per month fee.

Travel Insurance Takes the Stress Out of Winter Travel

New York, NY January 9, 2006

Pack emergency contact information, extra medication and spare clothing in your carry-on bag in case of unforeseen events, like weather delays. And make sure you buy travel insurance that has coverage for weather-related incidents.

Below are a few examples of how travel insurance can save you money, deliver much-needed assistance and provide peace of mind during the winter:

1) Your flight is delayed overnight due to snow and you need a hotel room.

According to the US Department of Transportation, airlines are not required to provide accommodations or compensation due to weather delays. In fact, each airline has its own policy that varies depending on the situation. A safer bet is comprehensive travel insurance that provides trip delay coverage. These policies reimburse for hotel stays and other expenses, due to cancelled or delayed flights. Plus, they offer emergency travel assistance to find you a hotel room and re-book your flight.

2) Your return trip is interrupted because of bad weather at home. You have to spend an extra night at your destination but the hotel is full.

Without travel insurance, you may be out of luck. Trip interruption due to weather is usually covered by most travel insurance policies. The 24-hour hotline will find accommodations, notify your family and friends, and make alternate transportation plans. You may also qualify for reimbursement of expenses during your delay.

3) You have to cancel your tour or cruise because your home has been flooded and is now uninhabitable.

If your home becomes uninhabitable, most travel insurance policies reimburse for nonrefundable air fares and hotel stays, as well as cruise and tour package payments. They will help notify hotels, cruise lines, tour operators, airlines and others in your travel party, as well as assist you in rescheduling your arrangements and collecting refunds.

4) You are injured after falling on an icy street in a foreign city where medical care is not considered top-notch.

Many Americans don’t realize that their standard healthcare policies may not cover illness, accidents or evacuation needs that are outside their state of residence. In case of an accident or illness while traveling, travel insurance medical policies cover doctor or dental visits and necessary medical evacuation. The emergency hotline will locate the closest pre-screened medical facilities and expedite admissions, transfers of records, and necessary fees. Assistance personnel will ensure that medical instructions are transmitted to the medical staff at your destination.

5) You are scheduled to go on vacation but a blizzard causes the airport at the destination to close. You want to reschedule to go at a later date.

While airlines will usually reschedule you on the next available flight, they are not required to compensate for inconveniences, provide refunds or even allow rescheduling. In severe weather, tour operators and airlines may consent to limited rescheduling, but don’t usually provide a refund - leaving you with penalties and nonrefundable deposits. If you paid with a credit card, you may be eligible for a refund for non-delivered services.

Comprehensive travel policies have provisions for canceling if your airport has a complete cessation of services for a given length of time. Plus, travel insurance providers often have assistance services that will act as your ombudsmen to help expedite refunds and recover nonrefundable penalties.

About UStiA

The US Travel Insurance Association promotes fairness, integrity and a commitment to excellence in the travel insurance industry. Its mission is to educate people about the importance of travel insurance while maintaining high industry standards. UStiA is a national association of insurance carriers and allied businesses involved in the development, administration and marketing of travel insurance and assistance products. In 2004, UStiA member companies provided travel insurance policies to more than 17 million people.

Editor Background Note: Past examples of winter storms affecting travelers include: The January “Blizzard of 2005closed airports throughout the Northeast; a major storm caused airlines to cancel flights in March 2001; and on December 30, 2000 New York airports cancelled hundreds of flights due to a snowstorm.

CSI Fleet Card Reduces Company Fuel Costs as Gas Prices Continue to Rise

Bonita Springs, FL April 21, 2008

Keith Stone likes a good adage as well as the next guy. But when Benjamin Franklin commented about the only sureties being death and taxes, little did he suspect the relentless climb of rising fuel prices two hundred years later. That is exactly what businesses across the country and around the world face. Fortunately, there are practical and direct solutions to counter the billowing prices, specifically, the CSI Universal Fleet Fuel Card.

Stone, President and CEO of CSI Enterprises, Inc., explained how effective the CSI Universal Fleet Fuel Card is when it comes to saving hard-earned money. "At CSI, we have taken a common product, the credit card, and made it anything but common. Our fleet card is universally accepted at all major and independent gas stations nationally, and we directly affect the price of fuel by offering discounts at tens of thousands stations."

But many fleet business owners need more than negotiated discounts to effectively reduce costs. Sandy Sandberg has owned a wholesale products delivery company in California for two decades. Over the years, Sandberg has had as many as a dozen vehicles on the road. He has learned he must look for every advantage he can find.

"As a business owner, I deal with all of my expenses going up across the board, from rent to insurance to you name it. But most of that spending is done month-by-month. Fuel, on the other hand, is one of the main expenses we are faced with on a daily basis," said Sandberg. "Not a day goes by that we aren&39;t buying fuel. Therefore, we are always trying to find the best deals, as well as control any unnecessary spending."

Stone hears and understands these needs and that is why the CSI Universal Fleet Fuel Card benefits extend far beyond the pump. "In today&39;s economy, it has become critical to watch every cent spent. When Benjamin Franklin said, &39;a penny saved is a penny earned,&39; he wasn&39;t living in 2008. In today&39;s business environment, from what the government takes, to other operating costs including insurance, salaries, equipment, a penny saved is equivalent to at least two, if not three or four, pennies earned."

Cardholders of the CSI Universal Fleet Fuel Card, from the smallest of businesses to the largest, all receive every benefit CSI has to offer, such as Smart Buy, a nationally updated database reporting fuel prices at filling stations in every city. Other benefits include real-time online reporting, allowing managers to track and analyze the spending of every card and driver as well as control the limits and types of spending, even changing restrictions to allow for non-fuel purchases such as maintenance.

"It is our mission," said Stone, "to help business owners such as Sandy succeed. Rising fuel costs hamstring businesses from running at peak performance. I hear the stories every day, from having to reduce staff, to not taking on different jobs, to simply saying &39;enough&39; and closing the door. What we have helps businesses to not only compete, but excel in their given field. What we have is a very real solution that directly affects the bottom line."

Illinois court Approves Settlement of Class Action Suit Against Trilegiant Corporation, a Wholly Owned Subsidiary of Cendant Corporation

Wood River, Ill. July 18, 2008

Today, a Madison County, Illinois court granted final approval of a nationwide class action lawsuit against Trilegiant Corporation (Pederson v. Trilegiant Cause No. 01-L-1126), a wholly owned subsidiary of Cendant Corporation. The settlement provides up to $25 million in cash benefits, along with changes in the business practices of Trilegiant and other relief.

This settlement resolves nationwide litigation against Trilegiant for allegedly billing and collecting unauthorized charges from consumers for products or memberships that consumers never requested or consented to receive.

Under the settlement, consumers who had unsolicited or unauthorized charges for Trilegiant products posted to their credit cards or other accounts for such Trilegiant products as Privacy Guard, Credit Alert, Auto Vantage, Travelers Advantage, Buyers Advantage, Compete Home, Digital Protection Plus, Great Fun, Great Options, HealthSaver, Hotline, Just for Me, National Card Registry, NetMarket, Shoppers Advantage, Travel ER, and others, can file a claim to receive a minimum of $20 or whatever they were charged--up to three times the cost of each Trilegiant Product for which they were charged.

In addition to the cash compensation, the settlement requires Trilegiant offer consumers an easy cancellation method, affirmative relief regarding Trilegiant&39;s business practices, a charitable contribution, and payment by Trilegiant of all costs and legal fees related to the lawsuit. For more information or to make a claim, class members may visit http://www.TriSettlement.com or call 1.888.952.9102.

This settlement resolves a class action brought by The Lakin Law Firm, P.C. in an Illinois court in 2001. The case was certified as a class action in 2004.

Brad Lakin, the President of The Lakin Law Firm, said, "We believe this settlement provides substantial benefit to the class members."

Barclaycard Contactless Technology Rolls Out Across Co-Operative Stores Nationwide

Northampton, England July 25, 2010

Barclaycard joins forces with the Co-operative Food as it becomes the UK&39;s first major grocery retailer to introduce contactless payment in its stores nationwide.

The contactless (http://www.barclaycard.co.uk/personal-home/contactless/ ) roll-out will begin with a pilot in 100 Co-operative food stores next year after an agreement was signed with Barclaycard in partnership with Visa. If the pilot is successful, The Co-operative will roll out the terminals to the majority of its food stores in time for the 2012 Olympics, which is being billed as a contactless event, where visitors are expected to experience the full convenience of contactless payment on transport, tickets and other low value purchases.

Contactless payment allows customers to make purchases of &163;15 or less, without the need to enter a PIN or insert their card into a payment terminal. Once the card has been held over the contactless terminal, the secure transaction uses the tried and tested Chip and PIN technology to automatically add the purchase to the customer&39;s credit card (http://www.barclaycard.co.uk/ ) or debit it from their current account.

Contactless payment, which is already commonplace and proving popular in the USA and Asia, is ideal for transactions where speed is essential, especially at supermarkets and petrol stations. Roll-out of contactless payment in the UK began in 2007 and there are now over nine million contactless enabled cards in circulation.

Sean Toal, commercial director, Food Retail, The Co-operative Group, said: "This is a great opportunity for The Co-operative to work in partnership with Barclaycard to become the first major food retailer in the UK to roll-out this unique payment method. It has received an excellent reception from both customers and retailers where it has been launched overseas and is ideal for our store portfolio."

Mark Hale, director of Food IS, The Co-operative Group, added: "Contactless payment has huge benefits for our customers. In essence, this innovative technology will mean increased customer choice and faster transaction speed, which will vastly improve the customer experience."

Contactless payment will also increase throughput as research has shown that a large number of customers will walk out of a shop if they see an excessive queue length.

Stuart Neal, head of UK Payment Acceptance at Barclaycard, said: "We&39;re absolutely delighted that The Co-operative is joining forces with Barclaycard to roll out contactless payments across all of its stores. For a household name such as The Co-operative to commit to the technology really shows that it is the future of payments, and we are looking forward to working with them to further enhance the in-store experience for their customers."

To better address the market for garage storage and garage cabinets, expected to reach over $1.5 billion by 2009*, GE Money’s Retail Sales Finance unit and Slide-Lok, a leading provider of garage interiors and manufacturer of garage storage cabinets, today announced a new consumer credit program for Slide-Lok’s 100-plus garage storage and garage cabinet dealers nationwide. The new program is available this month.

According to the National Association of Home Builders, more than 91 percent of new homes include a garage, and a growing number accommodate more than three-cars*. As Baby Boomers age and their children reach their teens, the garage is used increasingly for activities, hobbies, and crafts. This results in an accumulation of sporting gear and clothing and creates the need for additional storage in the typical American home.

To help homeowners organize and repurpose their garage space, Slide-Lok dealers will offer consumer financing through GE Money’s PROJECTLINE(sm) private label credit card program. The benefits include an easy application process, fast credit decisions, promotional terms, and other offerings for Slide-Lok customers at the point-of-sale.

“The Slide-Lok company is very much like its garage cabinets—solid,said Bruce Christensen, vice president of GE Money’s Home Improvement division. “Their cabinetry is extremely well made, and homeowners appreciate that kind of quality for a multi-functional space like the garage. We’re pleased they selected us to help them continue to grow with a customer financing program.

Headquartered in Tempe, Ariz., Slide-Lok is recognized as one of the leading brands in garage cabinets and modular garage storage systems. “The demand we’re seeing for Slide-Lok’s modern, quality garage cabinet systems is very exciting,said Brian Strayer, president of Slide-Lok. “The PROJECTLINE Program will empower our customers.

A Capital Expedition|travel package

A Capital Expedition
travel package - 6 days / 5 nights

Lived in China for months but haven't yet climbed the Great Wall? Wondering what lies beyond the glitzy skyline of the Bund? For an unbeatable price, we will whisk you away from Shanghai's sleek modernism to the stately majesty of China's old imperial capitals, Beijing and Xi'an. Once known as the City of Everlasting Peace (Chang'an), Xi'an ruled a vast empire for thirteen dynasties, and the accumulated splendor, artistry, and wisdom of over a thousand years can still be seen today. With equally dazzling historical sights, Beijing is the heart and hub of the nation. We'll also shop at the antique market of Panjiayuanif you're lucky, you'll come away with a bit of history yourself!

Day 1 Shanghai - Xi'an Independent transfer to Pudong Int'l Airport to Xi'an. Beginning in 1046 BC, the rulers of China made Xi'an their capital, but "The Eternal City" truly reached its golden age in the Tang Dynasty ( 608-907 AD). Your tour guide will meet you at the airport and take you to the hotel which is ideally centrally located.
Overnight in Xi'an Day 2 Xi'an After breakfast at the hotel, we will begin our city tour. The Big Wild Goose Pagoda was built in this period to store the Buddhist scriptures brought back from India by Xuan Zang (Tripitaka).
Then we visit the highlight of Xi'an, the Terracotta Army & Horses and Bronze Chariots. They were built for China's first emperor in the 3rd century B.C. and are splendidly preserved.
During lunch time, you will have an opportunity to enjoy a 'noodle making' demonstration in a local restaurant.
Visit the Great Mosque which is one of the biggest and the oldest mosque in China.
Then stroll in Xi'an's Muslim quarter where you can find a variety of local food stands and souvenir shops.
Overnight in Xi'an Day 3 Xi'an - Beijing After breakfast, transfer to the airport for flight to Beijing.
A guide will meet you at the airport and take you to your hotel.

Overnight in Beijing Day 4 Beijing (B, L) Today we will head to Tian'anmen Square, the political heart of Beijing. From here, you have an expansive view of fluttering flags and the many monuments surrounding the largest square in the world. Directly across is the Forbidden City.

Then see how everyday folks lived in Old Beijing on our Hutong Tour, which will take you through picturesque narrow streets and past old siheyuan (courtyard houses).
Overnight in Beijing Day 5 Beijing (B, L) Today is devoted to the Great Wall and the tombs of the Ming Emperors. Unlike the oft-visited Badaling, the Great Wall at Mutianyu offers breathtaking scenery undisturbed by crowds.
In the afternoon, we will see the Ming Tombs, where 13 emperors and their empresses and concubines are buried, including Emperor Wanli.
Overnight in Beijing Day 6 Beijing - Shanghai (B) After all that history, perhaps you will be tempted to acquire some "antiques" at the lively Panjiayuan Marketjust beware that only a fraction of the wares are genuine. But as long as you don't pay antique prices, you can still pick up some great finds. Dusty "Ming" vases, scrolls, old coins, and the odd typewriter fill the aisles, next to stalls overflowing with propaganda posters and enough Mao kitsch for even the most die-hard collector.
In the afternoon, transfer to the airport for return flight to Shanghai. For travel package bookings and more information please contact Hotline Beijing: +86-10-8519 8999(phone)
