The dwarves of Auschwitz
tags: Holocaust, Guardian (UK), Auschwitz, Josef Mengele, dwarves'I was saved by the grace of the devil," Holocaust survivor Perla Ovitz told us. Again and again, she recounted in detail how she and her family were taken to the gas chamber and ordered to strip naked. A heavy door opened and they were pushed inside. "It was almost dark and we stood in what looked like a large washing room, waiting for something to happen. We looked up to the ceiling to see why the water was not coming. Suddenly we smelled gas. We gasped heavily, some of us fainting on the floor. With our last breath we cried out. Minutes passed, or maybe just seconds, then we heard an angry voice from outside – 'Where is my dwarf family?' The door opened, and we saw Dr Mengele standing there. He ordered us to be carried out and had cold water poured on us to revive us."
The Ovitz family, from the village of Rozavlea in Transylvania, was the largest recorded family of dwarves: a dwarf father who sired 10 children, seven of them dwarves. Perla, born in 1921, was the youngest. In that remote part of Romania in the early 20th century, it was difficult for anyone to eke a living from the land and livestock, and impossible for someone standing less than 3ft tall.
Their mother, anxious for her children's future, guided them towards a common skill, a profession in which they could together make a living and would be neither isolated nor ostracised. As the five sisters and two brothers were all good-looking and musically gifted, the stage seemed the perfect choice: for where else could they be applauded, courted, honoured?...

SXSW Thu: The Wrens, Chairlift, Rye Rye, Gun Outfit, Nite Jewel, Micachu

Tom Breihan's SXSW Report: Wed | Thu | Fri | Sat
Ryan Dombal's SXSW Report: Wed | Thu | Fri | Sat
Amy Phillips' SXSW Report: Wed | Fri | SatMicachu [Emo's Annex; 8 p.m.]
Everything about Micachu teeters on the edge of being unbearably adorable. Well, almost everything. 21-year-old Londoner Mica Levi has Annie curls, a delightful burr in her speak-sing vocals, and a pseudonym that sounds like something you'd call a pet or a young child ("Aww, aren't you just the cutest little Micachu?"). Her ramshackle songlets bounce along with childlike abandon, shambling, dissonant bedroom indie shot through with DIY electronic flourishes. Live, Micachu plays tiny children's guitars slung around her neck with ratty string, a playing card stuck into the fretboard to alter the sound. And she and her bandmates wear coordinated hand-stenciled t-shirts.
But (and this is a giant but), Micachu's lyrics are far from adorable. They concern adult topics like sex, STDs, stress, and neuroses. Hearing her sing about such things while watching her bounce about has jarring effect, like getting cursed out by a first grader. But Micachu is plenty charming and full of interesting sonic ideas, so for the time being, she can fuck with expectations all she wants, it's fine by me.
Nite Jewel [Red 7 Patio; 9:10 p.m.]
Nite Jewel principal Ramona Gonzalez makes lo-fi etherea that sounds like Kate Bush meeting Gary Numan at the bottom of a bong. She floats in the same freaky Los Angeles orbit as Ariel Pink, but for some reason, I can stomach Nite Jewel's trips more than Ariel's. Probably has something to do with the dance beats that ground her gentle throb and keep it from flying too far off into the cosmos.
Live, Nite Jewel wasn't much. Joined on stage by co-conspirator Emily Jane, Gonzalez plinked away at a table of electronics, cooing softly and swiveling her hips. It was alluring at first, but quickly grew boring. At one point, she put on a pair of big plastic sunglasses. The move came across as gratuitous, like an American Apparel ad come to life.
Gun Outfit [Red 7; 10 p.m.]
Post Present Medium, the record label run by No Age drummer Dean Spunt, invaded Red 7 with an army of bands playing scuzzy, back-to-basics punk. Fittingly, the banner behind the stage was a ragged sheet with the PPM logo hand-painted on it, held up by duct tape-- a sharp contrast to the slick, professional corporate ads that cover just about every other available surface during SXSW. Metaphor alert!
Olympia, Wash., trio the Gun Outfit have an appealing darkness about them-- on record, at least. Their PPM debut album Dim Light vibes Nick Cave in the vocals and early X in the guitars, with a bit of early Sonic Youth sheen to it. Unfortunately, little of that came across at this show. They were just another punk band going through the motions.
Chairlift [Red 7 Patio; 11 p.m.]
I've always been in awe-- and more than a little jealous-- of girls like Chairlift singer-keyboardist Caroline Polachek. She's just seems so effortlessly beautiful, never looking like she's wearing makeup or paying any attention to what she's wearing, yet radiating sexiness and peace and happiness.
Last night, Polachek wore a ripped-up men's button down shirt-- sleeves cut out to reveal a black bra-- and tight denim shorts. And I don't know WHAT was going on with her legs-- she either has lines resembling the outlines of some very complicated stockings tattooed on her, or she drew them on there. Either way, it looked amazing. If most people did that, we would just look like idiots with weird lines scrawled on our legs. But Polachek pulled it off gracefully.
It would be easy to hate on someone like Caroline Polachek if you just looked at her, but Chairlift's music is too seductive to dismiss. Polachek's sprightly soprano tumbles through fluffy cotton candy synthesizer clouds, spouting nonsense about pencils, garbage, and physical health as if mid-acid trip. And the band was just so damn happy up there, smiling and dancing throughout. (The thought did cross my mind that maybe they were all on ecstasy. I mean, guitarist Aaron Pfenning was wearing a sport coat with no shirt underneath, a fashion choice nobody would make while sober, right?) No hateration to be found here.
Plus, they didn't even play "Bruises", their star-making song from the iPod commercial! That takes balls.
Rye Rye [Ace's; 12 a.m.]
Hands down the funniest performance I've seen at SXSW so far-- though no fault of Rye Rye's. The teenage Baltimore club phenom enlisted a pair of dancers to back her up during her set at the comically designed Aces Lounge (A bar inside a hole in the stage?! Seriously?!). But these dancers tired easily. Very easily. I'm talking, like, after literally 30 seconds of dancing, they would stop and wander to the back of the stage and sit down to catch their breath. This happened easily six or seven times throughout the 20-minute set. So the dancers spent most of the time sitting on some steps, chatting and breathing heavily while Rye Rye worked it up front. Come on, guys! Try harder! This is embarrassing!
Rye Rye has a bright future ahead. She's the first artist signed to M.I.A.'s Interscope-affiliated imprint N.E.E.T., and has a debut album coming soon featuring collaborations with M.I.A. and Diplo, among others. She isn't quite a fireball live performer yet, but her set showed the makings of something exciting. Her music might not necessarily appeal to M.I.A. fans right off the bat, since it's pretty straightforward Baltimore club music with little genre-hopping influence, but singles like "Wassup Wassup" and "Shake It to the Ground" might just crossover to mainstream party rap fans. Who knows? If "Paper Planes" can conquer the world, anything's possible, right?
The Wrens [Prague; 1 a.m.]
After hours spent searching for the Next Big Thing at SXSW, checking out bands attempting to woo jaded industry insiders, it was refreshing to take in the Wrens' set. These dudes have been there, done that, and done it again. Nobody is running to their laptop to blog about hot up and coming buzz band the Wrens. So their headlining set at the Absolutely Kosher showcase was packed with true believers, dudes who knew all the words and spent the whole time shouting along, not Twittering.
Frustratingly, the set was short on new songs, with only one and a half (the half serving as the intro to "She Sends Kisses") played. Both were slow, pretty ballads that stood in sharp contrast to the fired-up Meadowlands tracks that made up the rest of the set. Kevin Whelan served as ringmaster/ringleader, jumping around and screaming with hardcore intensity, offering up his bass to the crowd to pass over their heads. At the end of the show, as Whelan took a seat behind a keyboard for "This Is Not What You Had Planned", Charles Bissell knelt down and planted a kiss on his cheek. It was love all around.

Biden spotlights China treatment of US journalists
By The Associated Press

BEIJING (AP) -- Casting a spotlight on China's controls on the media, Vice President Joe Biden met with U.S. journalists working in Beijing Thursday after publicly criticizing how they're treated by China's government.
Closing a two-day trip to Beijing, Biden listened to concerns from journalists who may be forced to leave China in what some have perceived as retaliation for stories that have reflected poorly on the government. U.S. news organizations have said China's actions could have a chilling effect on hard-hitting journalism and the ability of American reporters to operate in the country.
"Innovation thrives where people breathe freely, speak freely, are able to challenge orthodoxy, where newspapers can report the truth without fear of consequences," Biden said earlier Thursday as he addressed U.S. business executives in Beijing. "We have many disagreements, and some profound disagreements, on some of those issues right now, in the treatment of U.S. journalists."
The public rebuke came a day after Biden raised the issue directly in wide-ranging, marathon meetings with Chinese President Xi Jinping.
Although the White House did not release a full list of journalists attending the Thursday session with Biden in a Beijing hotel bar, the New York Times and Bloomberg News, in particular, have fallen afoul of Beijing over some of their reporting.
Both American news organizations have had their websites blocked in China since late last year after each published detailed investigative reports exposing the enormous wealth amassed by the relatives of Chinese leaders - including Xi and former Premier Wen Jiabao.
In what appeared to be further official retaliation for their reporting, the two organizations have seen unusually long delays in approvals for visas for their resident journalists - hindering their ability to replace existing reporters or hire new ones. If those visas aren't resolved soon, reporters may have to leave the country.
"Unfettered coverage of China is a crucial issue," Jill Abramson, the executive editor of the Times, said Thursday in a statement. "At a time when China is such an important and compelling story, the world needs the highest quality reporting on it."
Earlier this week, a reporter for Bloomberg was excluded from an event with British Prime Minister David Cameron and Chinese Premier Li Keqiang, prompting a protest from Cameron's staff. A Chinese foreign ministry spokesman said the reporter had been excluded to give priority to Chinese and U.K. journalists.
China consistently ranks near the bottom of the list in an annual index of press freedoms compiled by Reporters Without Borders. A 2011 human rights report from the U.S. State Department said China maintains strict controls on foreign journalists, and that local employees of foreign news outlets have reported harassment and intimidation by Chinese authorities.
But the United States - and the Obama administration in particular - has also been criticized when it comes to freedom of the press. A report in October from the Committee to Protect Journalists concluded that aggressive prosecution of leaks and efforts to control information are having a chilling effect on journalists and government whistle-blowers.
Among the actions that have drawn recent complaints from the U.S. media was the U.S. Justice Department's secret seizure of records for telephone lines and switchboards used by more than 100 journalists with The Associated Press. The Obama administration has also targeted government employees and contractors for prosecution under the 1917 Espionage Act over accusations they leaked classified information to reporters.
In Beijing, Foreign Ministry spokesman Hong Lei responded to Biden by insisting that China's treatment of foreign journalists complies with the country's laws and regulations.
"Over the past few years, we have provided a very convenient environment for foreign journalists reporting in China," Hong said during a press briefing. "Everybody can see the progress we made."
Although Biden's China visit was intended to strengthen ties with the Asian power, the vice president made a point of nudging China in a more democratic direction as he engaged with citizens in the Chinese capital. A day earlier, Biden urged students waiting to get visitor visas processed at the U.S. embassy to challenge their government and reject the status quo.
Robert Daly, a China expert at the Washington-based Wilson Center, said the problem seems to be getting worse. Daly has testified about the issue before Congress and said that as China seeks greater clout on the world stage, it's in Beijing's self-interest to offer the same type of access that other powerful, confident nations provide.
"China's soft power is taking a very hard, self-inflicted hit," Daly said. "It would be helpful to China to get a broader more complete narrative about China out there."

Colombo: Terming it as mud slinging on his family, retired Army chief and Presidential aspirant Sarath Fonseka on Sunday said his son-in law was in no way involved in delivery of aircraft or weapons for the Sri Lankan security forces.
Fonseka said the defence procurement during the peak of the LTTE war was being done by a committee. "There is allegation against my family. There is a mud slinging campaign."
"If all they have said about my son-in-law---if he had delivered MIGs to the airforce, if he has purchased multi barrels and if he is getting 2 cents from all the ammunitions he purchased, then I would have been the richest person in the country and the world," Fonseka said.
"And all the military purchases and combat equipment are purchased through Lanka Logistics consisting of Secretary defence (Gotabhaya Rajapaksa) as the chairman," Fonseka told a crowded news conference.
He said all the financial negotiations on defence purchases are done by the Secretary Defence and the Ministry of Defence.
He said as the he Army commander he was only involved with the technical aspects of the weapons system and ammunitions.
Fonseka said his son was studying in the US and he had no involvement at all in the defence purchases for the country as alleged by some.

You Definitely Need To Know Gun Safety – For Your Health!
Hunting is an extremely common sport played around the planet. Sadly there are a number of harms reported with this game because of dearth of knowledge of use of gun safety measures. It's very significant in order to get a comprehension of the tools do you know the measures you should take to prevent an injury and that you're utilizing to hunt.
A worldwide rule on gun safety that everybody must always remember would be to treat your firearm as though it's loaded.
Considering the very first rule into thought, it's thus crucial to keep in mind to load your gun only when you're going to use it, and to maintain it unloaded at all times. This is actually the perfect way and prevent any injury that is unwanted. Injuries occur so frequently and you hear about firearms which are kept going off frequently, it is crucial that you take care of your firearm at all times.
In the excitement of hunting it is easy to press on the trigger before you're ready to and this may create chaos and harms that could become deadly. Relax as possible and comprehend of what you happen to be managing the power.
Hunting is a game; yet the gun isn't a plaything actually. Gun safety classes are essential part of the area.
A firearm is not actually an item that is foreseeable. This isn't a gun safety measure you need to follow. There's no promise that because your gun is up right it or upside down cannot go off.
Be quite cautious to not drop your gun. Firearms are not light and mishandling firing at all surprising directions developing an extremely poor state and you can send it tumbling. A gun safety measure that is very important would be to hold your firearm with great care, particularly when loaded.
Do not manage a firearm if you're intoxicated. And do not let others that are intoxicated to manage your firearm.

Thoracic Herniated Disc Problems
Thoracic herniated disc issue is something which might be healed both with the help of surgical and non surgical treatments. This really is good news for the people who are somewhat scared of going under the knife for this issue or are really unwilling. I would consider a thoracic herniated disc surgery the final option.
The non operative treatments might be very beneficial only if the are finished over a period of time and they are done in combinations of different treatments. Just one treatment isn't good enough. We would, for thoracic herniated disc, look at a few of the non surgical treatments in this post.
Taking remainder is vital for this problem and if you are having this difficulty, then it would be advisable that you go through a few days rest after which return to the ordinary things of life. This would ensure that the herniated disc does not get further deteriorated by your actions.
After some time of rest, the person can go back to regular tasks but she or he should be very slow and gentle in each and everything she or he does for some interval. Beginning with some mild walking exercises would be a great method to go about things initially.
There might be some drugs taken too. They could be either a combination of both or narcotic or non narcotic. These narcotic medicines are essentially used to heal the upper back pain difficulties which might assist in relieving the pain from the thoracic herniated disc too. There may be some anti-inflammatory agents used largely for bringing down the inflammation near the herniated disc.
These anti-inflammation treatments may be either some anti inflammatory injections or medications, ice packs. Fortifying exercises, manual exploitation could be some of the other non surgical treatments which might be utilized to heal the thoracic herniated disc.

In spite of the reality it could be utilized in other methods, the reason Moroccan oil became quite popular is due to its own use in make-up. There are not many natural products that could compare to the product with regard to the advantages that it gives. It's the most high-priced oil at present and it's the cosmetic business which has driven its worth up enormously.
Argan oil has really high levels of essential fatty acids, sterols, vitamin A and E. This has been established. This really is why it's very successful in nourishing, fixing and protecting hair and your skin. This is the reason this oil is recommended as an all-natural treatment for aging skin as well as as a treatment for treating and preventing many skin and hair issues.
Another very unique thing relating to this oil is the fact that unlike many other beauty treatments this oil is advantageous to everyone (it is not important the sex or age). Each advantage Moroccan oil's supply appears to make it popular as cosmetics ingredient and an attractiveness treatment.

George Thomas Taylor
Lt. Col. George Thomas Taylor
Lt. Col. George Thomas "Tommie" Taylor, age 93, passed away January 4, 2014.
Col. Taylor was a native of Hattiesburg, Mississippi and was the son of the late George T. and Sue Norsworthy Taylor. He was also preceded in death by his lovely wife, Peggy Taylor.
He is survived by his three children, Gary Taylor and wife Glenda of Rockvale, TN, George Taylor and wife Carla of Mt. Juliet, TN, Sue Ann Arnold of Niceville, FL and step-daughter, Katie Russell of Dayton, OH. He has nine grandchildren: Jason and wife Kim Taylor, Joshua and Lindsey Taylor, David and Thomas Musco, Clint Stovall, Kris Sexton, Ken and Kirk Russell. His great-grandchildren are Austin and Morgan Taylor, Brenna Taylor, Madison Musco, Bela Musco, Emily, Stephanie and Kelli Sexton, and David Russell. His great-great-grandchildren are Jimmy and Harper Paul.
Col. Taylor faithfully served his country in the
United States Air Force
from March 18, 1941 to August 31, 1964, when he retired from Sewart Air Force Base in Smyrna, Tennessee after completion of a long and distinguished career. When he enlisted in the
Air Corps along with many other patriotic young men, it wasn't long before he was called to fight in
World War II
where he subsequently flew 51 successful bombing missions in the South Pacific in his B-24 bomber. He loved his many years of service to his country where he achieved officer status, received his flights wings, flew many interesting and sometimes hazardous missions, once having his aircraft landing gears shot out by a Japanese fighter, he safely crash-landed his airplane, sparing the lives of all his crew. Later, he met and married his lovely wife of 62 years, and fathered three children, all while traveling the world.
After retirement, he became a realtor, and opened his own business Murfreesboro Realty in 1968. As past president of the Murfreesboro Real Estate Association he made inroads into community development. Col. Taylor was the founder and first coach of the Murfreesboro Central High School golf team. In 1970, he moved to Destin, Florida and built a mom and pop motel business for vacationers to enjoy. He eventually sold it and moved to Ocala, where he finally did truly retire. He then began doing what he really loved, fishing and playing golf for several sunny years. As many soon learned, he could be a fierce, but friendly competitor at both!
He and his wife returned to Murfreesboro in 2000 to be near his son and family for the remainder of their "Golden Years". At his last residence, Adams Place, he made new friends and renewed old acquaintances from the 50's and 60's. While residing there, he also became especially close to his and Peggy's former neighbor, Stella Smith, who lovingly cared for him. They thoroughly enjoyed dining out, attending church, taking quiet country drives and laughing together.
Our dad will be tremendously missed by his family and friends. The "Colonel" as he was fondly called, had a southern charm all his own, and an inviting smile with a couple of dazzling "baby blues" that helped him win a few arguments and debates along the way. Also, his dry wit got him more than a few chuckles and probably in and out of some self-created woes!
Steve Odom, dad's friend and pastor of the Central Christian Church, will deliver his final farewell at Woodfin Memorial Chapel on Monday at 7 p.m. Visitation will be one hour prior to the service at Woodfin Memorial Chapel. Graveside services and burial will be Wednesday at 11 a.m., at Waynesboro City Cemetery in Waynesboro, Mississippi.
Memorials may be made to Central Christian Church in memory of Col. Taylor.
An online guestbook is available for Mr. Taylor at
Funeral Home
Woodfin Funeral Chapel
Murfreesboro, TN 37130

JERUSALEM, Israel -- Islamic Jihad terrorists, backed by Iran, launched dozens of rockets from the heart of Gaza on Wednesday. It marked the largest spike in Gaza rocket fire since 2012.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel wouldn't tolerate terror from the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip.
"If there is no calm in the south, there will be no calm in Gaza, and that's putting it mildly," Netanyahu said. "I call upon the residents of the south to follow the instructions. The IDF will do the job."
The Israeli Air Force struck nearly 30 terror sites in Gaza in retaliation for the barrage. The IDF said it targeted infrastructure terrorists use for training, planning and implementing attacks.
More than 60 rockets fell inside Israel, including at least five that exploded in populated areas, but caused no injuries.
Several rockets were intercepted by the Iron Dome anti-rocket system.
Islamic Jihad, which is armed by Iran, claimed it fired the rockets in retaliation for the deaths of three members killed earlier this week in an Israeli airstrike.
The IDF released a video that it says clearly shows those three terrorists launching a mortar shell at Israeli soldiers and running from the site.
Visiting British Prime Minister David Cameron said his country stands with Israel on security matters.
"Let me be absolutely clear about these attacks from Gaza, we condemn them completely," Cameron said during a meeting with Israeli President Shimon Peres.
"I think there are three important points to bear in mind; first of all they are a reminder once again of the importance of maintaining and securing Israel's future and the security threats that you face. And you have Britain's support in facing those security threats," he said.
Cameron is here on a 30-hour visit, in part to promote the U.S.-sponsored Israeli-Palestinian peace talks. Netanyahu said there can only be genuine peace if Iranian-backed terrorists can't fire rockets at Israel.

Spare Me
Spare me your righteous bullshit. The Israeli people support the genocide of the Palestinian people and the lunatics that run their government. How many time has Bibi been Prime Minister? Judging the Israeli people by their government is perfectly appropriate as it is a true representation of the hate that fills their hearts.
Americans do not support our foreign policy. It is shoved down our throats.

As organic search rankings heat up in time for the holidays, make sure your online presence is known.
With Thanksgiving festivities behind us, retailers have already begun to pick up the pace as it relates to online promotion and incentives. Online advertising investment inevitably ramps up this season and competition for coveted organic search rankings increases.
So in light of that, I wanted to talk today about search marketing during the holiday season. What can you do during the busiest shopping season of the year to ensure your site has an optimal presence online? Of course, tried and true strategies you always employ to improve your online visibility should continue to be utilized, and you may want to consider ramping up spend if your budget allows. But in addition, there are some potential tips and tricks you can try around the holiday season to up your odds of success.
Add holiday oriented search terms and messaging to your paid and organic strategies.
Consumers are going to be in a holiday season frame of mind when searching online, so you want to make sure the keywords you use and the listings you display will resonate with them. Adding keywords such as "Christmas," "holiday," "gift," "present," or "gift card" to the beginning and end of your existing phrases are easy additions. (For example, if you're a DVD retailer or rental store, you might add terms such as "holiday DVD set" or "movie gift card.") Writing new organic page titles and descriptions, or paid search ads with a Christmas theme (e.g., "Great deals on DVDs for everyone on your list!") may also improve relevancy for holiday shoppers.
Avoid competing on very broad or generic holiday terms such as "Christmas gift ideas," or similar.
These terms will be near impossible to achieve top organic rankings on, and they will cost you dearly in paid search. Your energy is better spent identifying and optimizing for terms that are specific to your product/service. Users searching for "golf lovers Christmas gift idea" are going to be much more qualified and motivated to buy than someone who searches for "gift idea for men."
Leverage unique engines, not just the standard search engines like Google.
There are many other types of search engines that can be particularly leveraged this time of year:
Create helpful holiday content in order to entice users to your site and improve your authority.
For up to a couple months before Christmas, people will be eagerly looking for content that will help them prepare for, and plan their holidays. Capitalize on that interest by creating compelling content that is seasonally-relevant. For example, if you sell gourmet food baskets or kitchen supplies, consider including holiday recipes on your site. If you own a clothing boutique or a salon, consider offering beauty and fashion tips for getting glam for holiday parties. If you're an electronics retailer, you might offer a holiday buying guide for PCs or flat screens.
Include "value" based keywords in your search listings.
Because so many people will be searching for savings this holiday season in particular, it makes sense to include value-based keywords in your paid and organic strategies, if you haven't already. Optimize your site for terms such as discounts, coupons, vouchers, savings, sale, promotions, etc. You may want to consider creating a "savings" section on your site to highlight items that are on sale or for which you have a promotion. You can then optimize more easily for such terms.
Consider employing day-parting techniques to heavy up your budget during key shopping times.
People are more likely to be browsing online, comparison shopping, or planning shopping trips during the week, since many will head out to malls or family gatherings on the weekends. Similarly, as it gets closer to Christmas, shopping volume will increase. Black Friday -- the day after U.S. Thanksgiving, when retailers are said to go from "in the red" to "in the black," profitwise -- is historically the busiest shopping day of the year and therefore it may make sense to heavy up spend leading up to this day. Gating your budget according to key dates and times can help you maximize your budget over the holiday season.
Try out at least one of these tips on your search marketing strategies for the holiday season. Hopefully they will help you capitalize on those hungry holiday shoppers scouring the Web for deals and steals!

Canada's Insurance and Risk Magazine
Applied Systems Inc. announced Thursday the general release of version 12 of The Agency Manager (TAM), its software for insurance brokers and agents.
"For Canadian customers, it includes all-new capabilities for writing commercial lines policies," Applied Systems stated in a press release. "TAM 12 supports the new Canadian eDoc XML standard from The Centre for Study of Insurance Operations (CSIO), which allows for electronic documents to be transmitted in broker downloads."
University Park, Illinois-based Applied Systems says it has also improved the French user interface.
Other features of version 12 include "enhanced integration" with Compu-Quote, which lets users attach a PDF file with carrier details, premiums summary and underwriting.
Applied Systems announced in June the acquisition of Windsor, Ont.-based Compu-Quote Inc., whose software includes applications that compare underwriting and rates for auto and property insurance.
For auto policies, Applied Systems says, release 12 will create a
default description in the activity note with year, make, model, total premium and premium per vehicle for an auto quote. It will also create the default location, total premium and premium per location for a property quote for Canadian brokers.
Applied Systems says TAM has a single-entry system, meaning data entered once in one part of the system will be created in the other parts. It also lets users view a customer file with all policies and issuing carriers in order to identify opportunities to renew and to sell additional services.
The vendor says TAM is designed so that one client file stores all policy components, which can be faxed and e-mailed.
TAM has an accounting and general ledger module which, the vendor says, can generate invoices and statements, track and reconcile agency payables, record payments and returns and build financial statements.
