RV Education 101 Urges People to "Just RV It"

Harrells, NC (PRWEB) November 04, 2011

Much akin to the famous Nike slogan Just Do It, Mark Polk, owner of RV Education 101, says, he hopes his company's new slogan Just RV It will quickly catch on among RV enthusiasts.


We purchase RVs to go on adventures, explore the country and to build lasting memories with our family and friends," he explained. "Too often our dreams of traveling in our RV get pushed aside because of busy schedules, work and a lack of prior planning.


Polk aims at helping RVers learn more about how to enjoy RVing. Polk created a new website RVConsumer.com which is full of information such as free checklists, camping resources, a place to share stories, pictures and much more to enhance the full RV experience.


It doesnt matter if you take an overnight trip 20 miles away from home or a 1,000-mile, week-long RV adventure, the important thing is you just RV it! he said.


Polks advice is to plan your RV trips. Lots of folks buy an RV only to not use it very often. Its sad to see the enthusiasm and expectations people have for traveling in their RV diminish to it sitting idle in the driveway for extended periods of time," said Polk. "I am sure owners have many valid reasons for not using the RV like the weather, lack of funds and time constraints. But it is my belief that the real culprit is a lack of planning. I would like to help get that excitement back."


"Remember the 5 Ps -- Proper Planning Prevents Poor Performance. When you plan a trip you take a trip, even if its just for a quick weekend getaway. I really do believe its that simple, he said.


He went on to explain that planning an RV trip in advance solves all the reasons people come up with as to why they should not use the RV.


When you pencil-in a date on the calendar you set aside a block of time to use the RV," said Polk. "Planning an RV trip in advance gives you time to budget money for the trip and to make any necessary arrangements to go on the trip.


Dont give up on your dreams of exploring the country in your RV; instead plan to make your dreams come true," he added. "You worked hard to buy the RV, now you need to work just as hard on enjoying your RV. Plan your RV trip, load it up, hook it up, fuel it up and 'Just RV It!'

Learning Ally Version 2.0 Audiobook Player Brings Accessible Books to Apple Devices for People With Disabilities

Princeton, NJ (PRWEB) August 16, 2011

Learning Ally, a 63-year old nonprofit organization serving over 300,000 individuals across the U.S. with learning differences, visual impairment and reading disabilities, has released an upgrade of its popular iOS application, which enables the entire Learning Ally library of downloadable DAISY-formatted audiobooks to be played on Apple devices, including the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch.


The upgraded app, renamed Learning Ally Audio following the organizations name change earlier this year, is available to Learning Ally members for $ 19.99 via the Apple iTunes store. It offers advanced accessibility features for ease of learning, including page and chapter navigation, variable speed and pitch control, bookmarking capabilities, and Apple VoiceOver compatibility. Users will also enjoy significant new features, including:


Play while locked. The new version can continue playback after the Apple device locks and turns off the screen to save battery life. This function can be turned on or off through the iOS Settings app.

Open with last book played at last point played. The new version resumes reading where users left off the last time that they ran the app. This feature can be turned on or off through the iOS Settings app.

Remember speed control and other settings. When these settings are changed, they will be remembered across all books and sessions.

Our members thrive on the ability to access content for learning and enjoyment on the devices they use in everyday life, says Andrew Friedman, Learning Allys President and CEO. With the new version of our app, we continue our commitment to develop technology that makes reading accessible for all learners. And more exciting things are coming down the road.


Looking ahead to this fall, Friedman continues, the Learning Ally Audio app will include text to speech functionality, enabling our learners to enjoy the best of both worlds: human narration as well as text content of their books and reading materials.


Transitioning to the upgraded player is easy for Learning Ally members who have the previous generation player (known as RFB&D Audio). They will simply be prompted that an upgrade is available; no re-authentication is required and the books currently in their collection will remain intact.


Learning Ally Audio is fully compatible with all iPad, iPhone 4 and 3GS models, and iPod touch second generation and above devices. For visually impaired members, the app takes full advantage of Apples VoiceOver technology. Members can select from Learning Allys library of more than 65,000 titles available online and easily download books to their PCs and Macs. From there, they can use iTunes to easily transfer the files to their devices.


The app works seamlessly with Learning Allys individual and institutional school memberships, and is an easy, affordable way to access and enjoy the organizations vast collection of textbook and literature titles. More information, frequently asked questions, a quick start guide, and customer service contact information to support the Learning Ally Audio app are available at http://www.LearningAlly.org/apple.
