News Image

“It is important for drivers to pick a safe car for driving. Not only a safe car will protect the lives of its occupants, but it will also help lower the insurance premiums”, said Russell Rabichev, Marketing Director of Internet Marketing Company.

Carinsuranceplan.org has launched a new blog post that explains how drivers can pick a safe car to drive and save car insurance money at the same time.

When shopping for a new vehicle, one of the main concerns a policyholder can have is how safe is the car is going to purchase? Choosing a safe car is important for drivers that want to keep their loved ones as safe as possible while they are on the road. Besides that, safe cars can help drivers pay less on their insurance policies.

The following tips can help drivers pick a safe car:


  • Check the crash test scores. Vehicles with good scores will better protect their occupants from injuries or even death. Policyholders should look for “Good” front moderate overlap, small overlap, side-impact, and roof scores from the IIHS. IIHS tests evaluate two aspects of safety: crashworthiness – how well a vehicle protects its occupants in case of a crash, and crash avoidance and mitigation features – technology that can prevent a collision or lessen its severity.
  • Look for vehicles with side airbags. While frontal crashes are the most frequent type of collisions, side impacts are the second most common but are by far more likely to be fatal. Policyholders should buy cars that come with side head airbags besides every occupant seat and at a minimum, torso airbags besides the front passengers.
  • Analyze the car size and weight. Larger and heavier vehicles are safer than smaller ones. However, some big cars are prone to rollovers or other issues. Mid-sized sedans with high safety ratings are considered ideal choices.
  • Crash avoidance technologies. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), 94 percent of fatal crashes is because a human being made an error or a poor choice. Crash avoidance technologies can sense what’s going around a vehicle and will either act in the place of the drivers or alert them. Ever improving technologies like advanced braking and warning systems can minimize injuries and damage from collisions.

How To Avoid Getting Really Expensive Car Insurance Premiums


News Image

“Drivers can keep the price of car insurance under control and protect themselves from price spikes if they follow several smart and efficient methods”, said Russell Rabichev, Marketing Director of Internet Marketing Company.

Carinsuranceplan.org has launched a new blog post that explains how policyholders can avoid car insurance price spikes.

For more info, please visit https://carinsuranceplan.org/how-to-avoid-auto-insurance-price-spikes/.

For many, driving their vehicles is a necessity. To do that legally, they need car insurance. In some situations, car insurance can get too expensive and some drivers will drop their insurance. To protect themselves from sudden car insurance price spikes, policyholders can follow these tips:


  • Make sure to respect traffic laws. Different traffic violations can lead to an increase in car insurance premiums. Drivers should follow the rules and avoid receiving traffic violations penalties.
  • Shop around periodically. Policyholders should regularly search the insurance market for better insurance deals. The best way to do that is by comparing online quotes obtained from brokerage websites. Doing this can help policyholders save even hundreds of dollars each year.
  • Policyholders should analyze their insurance policy at renewal. Drivers should make sure they are not missing any discount. Also, they should check if traffic tickets that should come off the driving record are still present.
  • Policyholders should avoid adding teen drivers to their policies. Besides being inexperienced, teen drivers are also expensive to insure. To make their car insurance more affordable, teen drivers can take advantage of the good student discount, or they can choose to enroll in a usage-based program. Graduating a defensive driving course can also help lower the price of car insurance.
  • Check the multi-policies discounts. Policyholders can save a lot if they decide to insure the home, life, and car insurance with the same insurance company. Drivers should contact their insurance providers and see if they offer this type of discount.
  • Drivers should not lie to their insurance providers. To avoid financial penalties, policyholders should be honest with their insurance providers. Policyholders should not hide past traffic tickets or the existence of other drivers in the household.

Clarity Food Ventures announces its official business launch and the debut of Soup Explorers, a line of globally-inspired, premium refrigerated soup kits


Soup Explorers Chicken Pho

We believe food, and soups in particular, have the power to transport you to some remarkable places.

Today, Clarity Food Ventures LLC is pleased to announce its official business launch and the debut of Soup Explorers, a line of globally-inspired, premium refrigerated soup kits that can be conveniently prepared in three minutes or less. Four varieties are available, including: Vietnamese Chicken Phở; Vietnamese Vegetable Phở; American Chicken Noodle; and Moroccan Chilled Cucumber.

“We want to share soups from around the world in a way that honors traditional preparation methods and highlights authentic ingredients that captivate your senses in an unforgettable way. We believe food, and soups in particular, have the power to transport you to some remarkable places. Soup Explorers brings to life soups that are every bit as delicious as they are authentic and imaginative,” noted Linda Yeh-Ostrinsky, the company’s co-founder.

Soup Explorers soups are crafted in partnership with some of Chicago’s most beloved restaurants. The Vietnamese Phởs were created hand-in-hand with Mary Nguyen Aregoni and Theresa Nguyen, the restaurateurs behind Chicago’s acclaimed Saigon Sisters® Restaurants. The result? A truly delicious and authentic culinary experience, delivered in the convenience of a ready-to-heat soup kit. The American Chicken Noodle and Moroccan Chilled Cucumber soups have unique personalities and were developed in collaboration with Soupbox® restaurant’s founder Jamie Taerbaum, who has been in the soup business for 25 years.

Soup Explorers’ line of globally-inspired and locally-crafted, refrigerated soup kits are in-touch with the needs and wants of today’s modern consumers and retailers. The soup kits, which are available at select Chicagoland retailers, are dairy-free, nut-free and void of artificial ingredients or preservatives. Each kit contains: a bottle of slow-simmered broth (not a dehydrated broth packet); individually-packed cooked proteins and noodles; aromatic garnish of vegetables and herbs; and a biodegradable, palm leaf bowl. To enjoy, the proteins, noodles and broth are combined in the palm leaf bowl and heated in a microwave for two minutes. The soup experience is complete when the aromatic garnish is added on top.

To deliver this experience to consumers, innovation with cold-pressed methods plays a central role. As co-founder, Debarshi Sengupta, explains, “our soup kits are cold-pressed to lock in flavors and nutrients for an unbelievably aromatic and fresh-tasting experience and to significantly extend shelf life. It’s an important and recent food innovation that improves the quality of food we eat; it is commonly used for cold-pressed juices. Now, we’re bringing it to soups!”

Ingredients are sourced locally whenever possible, and Soup Explorers packaging is mostly recyclable or compostable to minimize environmental impact. Soup Explorers kits that are close to shelf-life expiration will be donated to local food pantries.

Get Cheaper Car Insurance Rates Using The Following Tips


News Image

“Drivers can obtain cheaper car insurance rates easily. All they have to do, is to follow several money-saving methods”, said Russell Rabichev, Marketing Director of Internet Marketing Company.

Compare-autoinsurance.org has launched a new blog post that presents how drivers can obtain cheaper car insurance rates.

Everyone wants to pay lower car insurance premiums. However, in recent years, the insurance costs have been on the rise and the tendency is expected to continue throughout the entire 2019.

To lower the costs of car insurance, drivers should follow the next tips:


  • Drivers should consider increasing deductibles. To obtain cheaper car insurance, drivers can agree to pay more money from their budget If they have to make a claim. Policyholders should put away the money necessary for filing a claim.
  • Consider driving fewer miles. If a policyholder doesn’t drive his car too often, he might be eligible for a low mileage discount that typically ranges from 15% to 20%.
  • Bundle multiple policies. Policyholders can easily bundle their car insurance with their homeowner’s insurance. In some cases, a policyholder can save as much as 20% simply by bundling multiple policies into one.
  • Install safety devices. Many insurance companies offer generous discounts for drivers that make their cars safer. Safety devices like a rearview camera, GPS tracking system, immobilizers, airbags, blind-spot detectors, various anti-theft devices will make the car safer. The value of the discounts varies depending on the type of device installed.
  • Be a good driver. A driver with no traffic tickets and no accidents for a number of years is eligible for a safe driver discount. Most insurance companies will lower premium rates after three years of clean driving, while other insurers will wait even five years to provide this discount. Usually, this discount will lower insurance rates by 10%-20%.
  • Consider usage-based programs. Many insurance companies offer this type of program. Usually, a small telematics device is installed inside the driver’s vehicle. This device will send driving habits data back to the insurer. Drivers with good driving habits are rewarded with large discounts

Join the 2020 Global TapRooT® Summit


TapRooT® Incident Investigation Techniques book

Using the Essential TapRooT® Techniques to Investigate Low-to-Medium Risk Incidents

Let’s not get ahead of ourselves. Before you understand ‘root cause analysis,’ you must understand ‘root cause.’ – Mark Paradies

System Improvements, Inc. is pleased to open registration for the “Improving Investigations Track” at the 2020 Global TapRooT® Summit. Celebrating 32 years of the Summit, System Improvements’ week-long conference and its courses will be at Horseshoe Bay Resort, near Austin, Texas, March 9-13, 2020.

An essential tenet in TapRooT® root cause analysis and incident investigation is going “back to the basics,” or getting the fundamentals right. In an incident investigation, if the fundamentals are not accurate and true to what actually happened, the next steps are inconsequentially moot. The investigator must fulfill the prerequisite of fully discovering and documenting what happened. Until what happened is nailed down, the investigation cannot move to why the incident happened.

An experienced veteran of 30 years in root cause analysis research, development, and continuous improvement, TapRooT® co-creator Mark Paradies cautions, “But, let’s not get ahead of ourselves. Before you understand ‘root cause analysis,’ you must understand ‘root cause.'”

Listen to the discussion between Benna Hughes and Mark Paradies in the short video below to gain a thorough understanding of “root cause analysis” and “incident investigation.” Fully understanding these terms is the first step to being prepared to investigate and mitigate organizational incidents that repeat.

To build on the knowledge from the first video, watch this brief second video. After the videos, read about incident investigation and root cause analysis as a systematic process to glean important insights.

The “Improving Investigations” track at the Summit will include these sessions:

  • How to Improve Your Investigations
  • Using Causal Factors Worksheets
  • Leveraging the TapRooT® Software & App for Investigations
  • TapRooT® Users Share Success Stories
  • CHAP Workshop
  • Becoming A Better Investigator
  • Where Does Discipline Fit In?

The Summit is the best setting to learn how to implement the fundamentals and develop one’s roadmap to success—as well as meeting industry leaders and networking with professionals.

Browse the 2020 Global TapRooT® Summit schedule to view all tracks. We invite you to learn more about the Summit below:

  • View the 2020 Summit brochure.
  • Peruse and take advantage of the Pre-Summit Courses (March 9–10).
  • Read the Summit FAQ.
  • Check out the Summit venue—Horseshoe Bay Resort, near Austin, Texas.
  • Save money! Register 3 or more attendees simultaneously for a discount. Also, save when registering for the 3-day Summit plus a 2-day Pre-Summit course.
  • Use the Summit hashtag #taprootsummit to share TapRooT® experiences—before, during, and after the Summit.

Car Insurance Experts Explain Why Credit Score Is Used As Rating Factor


News Image

“Insurance companies use the credit score to determine how risky is to provide coverage to a client”, said Russell Rabichev, Marketing Director of Internet Marketing Company.

Carinsuranceplan.org has released a new blog post that explains why insurance companies use a person’s credit score to determine car insurance costs.

For more info and free car insurance quotes online, visit https://carinsuranceplan.org/how-insurance-companies-use-credit-information-as-a-rating-factor/

Almost all car insurance companies use the credit score as a rating factor. The only states were insurance companies are prohibited to use credit information to determine policy rates, are California, Massachusetts, and Hawaii.

Insurance companies consider that a person’s credit score will provide more info on how risky it is to provide coverage. Drivers with good or excellent credit score, pay significantly lower insurance rates, than those that have a low, or poor credit score

Independent studies have evaluated the impact of credit score over a driver’s insurance rates.. These studies concluded that:


  • On average, drivers that have poor credit score can expect to pay twice as much for car insurance rates than drivers that have an excellent credit score.
  • Improving the credit score from poor to good, can save 32% on insurance premiums
  • Improving the credit score from good to excellent can save an additional 27% on the car insurance rate.
