April 24, 2018: Los Angeles, California: FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

The Hollywood tutor has been teaching accent reduction at a Hollywood café for the last nine years using American English.

Now a GoFundMe campaign has been started to raise funds to help format and publish this 315-page book entitled The Hollywood Tutor’s American English.

From basic sounds to conversations, for beginners to the advanced, the book has been engineered to work at different levels with multiple exercises and a wide range of current topics.

Reading American English aloud is designed to activate all the voice muscles in the mouth and larynx removing restrictions to sounding clearer and being more exact. This will reduce your accent quickly.

With easy to use phonetic guides that help to clarify and make English sounds more understandable the book follows a natural progression from basic sounds to words to sentences.
Students are often amazed and surprised when they learn to pronounce words with silent letters. The book presents many specialty groups and dialogues including baseball, citizenship, basketball, the home, soccer, nutrition, the job interview, exercise, swimming, antonyms, astrology, automobile parts, technology, medical, and corporate slogans.

As an author, the time has come to wrap it up and publish. It took nine years to finish. This campaign is to raise $1000 to finish the book with proper formatting for both print and electronic editions. Students from all over the world have used this book with remarkable results and have asked me to publish it. Personally, I could work on it for another ten years. And there are gifts too, for $30 a Skype American English lesson, for $40 a paperback copy, for $100 a copy shipped worldwide, for $101 receive 3 one-hour Skype lessons.

The Internet of Things

The Internet of Things

           Here’s a riddle. How many things can be interconnected to the internet? The answer is infinity, and the IoT (the internet of things) is going to provide that infinite network. It will be a network of sensors including RFID (radio frequency identification) tags, barcodes, passive tags, active and GPS enabled active tags that are both intelligent and can communicate with one another. This essay will review two current definitions of IoT as well as examine two IoT applications and investigate some of their advantages and disadvantages.

         The definitions of the phrase the internet of things usually combine the ideas of smart sensors with growth and human interaction. For example, Wired.com one of the most popular cutting-edge computer content publishers writes, “the internet of things revolves around increased machine to machine communication; it’s built on cloud computing and networks of data gathering sensors,” it’s mobile, virtual and instantaneous connection; and they say it’s going to make everything in our lives from streetlights to seaports smart.

          So What Is the Internet of Things? Simply put, this is the concept of basically connecting any device with an on and off switch to the Internet (and to each other). This includes everything from cell phones, coffee makers, washing machines, headphones, lamps, wearable devices and almost anything else you can think of. Here is my definition, the IoT is a phrase used to describe how things containing RFIDs (radio frequency induction devices) connect to the internet digitally and provide information and control applications.
