Educational Software Shows Astonishing Results With Special Needs Children

Keyboard Town PALS; LLC (KTP) has recently announced the release of its groundbreaking educational software, developed to teach children ages 7 to 12 to type on a computer keyboard in one hour. The KTP software uses successful association and memory techniques through stories told by fun and adorable live puppets. The process of learning keyboarding becomes both entertaining and rewarding. Several members of the talented production crew working with KTP were part of the Emmy-Award Winning teams behind Misters Rogers’ Neighborhood, as well as Warner Brothers’ Looney Tunes and Hanna Barbara cartoons.

The software has also shown significant results with children with special needs. KTP Video Director, Melissa Martin, adopted a young girl whose desperately addicted birth mother used Crack Cocaine throughout her entire pregnancy. As a result, Stacy had to experience withdrawal at birth and was left with several health problems. Now 11 years old, Stacy has severe Attention Deficit Disorder. Amazingly, Stacy has finished the entire KTP presentation. She now types on the keyboard, using the proper technique.
Currently, Keyboard Town PALS is the only company that offers teaching material for typing by using the Purposeful Associative Learning System (PALS), which serves as the key technique that allows the Keyboard Town PALS software to teach typing in one hour. The child is taught keyboarding in a stress-free and relaxed atmosphere. The company claims that no parent or educator will ever want to return to the mindless drills and endless exercises used by other programs.

KTP was founded by Rita Herman; C.E.O and professional educator, and Donna Katz; President and former private school administrator (2007). Mrs. Herman has over three decades of creative teaching experience with a concentration in reading. She is an expert in PALS.

Along with working as a private school administrator in Pittsburgh, Donna Katz also holds experience as a private consultant for non-profit organizations. Mrs. Katz has been the moving force for the production of the KTP software package and its distribution to elementary schools throughout the country.

The KTP educational software is available by download or by order purchase at www.OnlyAnHour.com and www.Amazon.com. For all media inquiries, contact Daniel Ferszt at Global Point Public Relations 866.594.GPPR (4777) or email dferszt@globalpointpr.com.

PRESS RELEASE 

TIMELESS OFF-BROADWAY SMASH HIT TAKES ON FAITH AND FRIENDSHIP IN A POST-HOLOCAUST WORLD

“THE QUARREL” COMES TO SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA


Wednesday, March 18, 2009 – The enormously popular, critically acclaimed Off-Broadway hit play, The Quarrel is coming to the Brandeis-Bardin Auditorium, located at 1101 Peppertree Lane in Simi Valley, CA on Sunday, April 12th at 8:00 pm. An additional 3:00 pm matinee performance has been added due to popular demand. Part of all proceeds will be donated to iVolunteer, a non-profit organization and visitation program that pairs volunteers with Holocaust survivors, providing them with companionship and case assistance www.ivolunteerny.com .

The Quarrel has played to impressive reviews and standing ovations around the country, most recently off Broadway at New York City’s DR2 Theatre. The questions that are raised in the Quarrel are still pertinent today; can you love someone whose views you really can’t stand? How can one believe in Gd when we are surrounded by so much injustice and hardship?

The story takes place years after the Holocaust and focuses on characters Chaim (Sam Guncler; Conversations with My Father, Law and Order, The Sopranos) and Hersh (Reuven Russell; Chaplin, ER, Neil Simon’s The Sunshine Boys). The two men were inseparable as schoolmates in prewar Europe, until a soul-shattering fight launched them on different paths. Both lost their entire families during the war and naturally assumed the other was also killed. One is now a free-living writer, the other a pious rabbi. The Quarrel begins as, years later; they accidentally meet in a park. Shocked, they soon recover, reminisce, and resume the life-altering argument that drove them apart.

Originally an acclaimed 1950 short story by the Yiddish master Chaim Grade, "Mayn Krig mit Hersh Rasseyner (My Quarrel with Hersh Rasseyner)" was adapted for the screen in 1991 by award-winning screenwriter and producer David Brandis (Showtime series My Life As a Dog, HBO series the Strangers) and noted rabbi and author, Joseph Telushkin (An Eye for an Eye, The Nine Questions People Ask About Judaism; co-written with Dennis Prager). The success of that award-winning film prompted the writers to take a fresh look at the piece with an eye toward enhancing its theatricality with a stage adaptation. In 1999, The Quarrel opened in New Jersey, breaking existing box office records before going on tour.

Reserved seating is $26 in advance, $30 at the door; general admission is $18 in advance, $22 at the door. Advance tickets may be purchased at www.thequarreltheplay.com. For information regarding group rates, contact Shoshana at (310) 278-5562.
