Ecotech Institute’s Clean Jobs Index Shows a 19 Percent Increase in Clean Jobs in 2013

Leave a comment

National study shows more than 3.5 million clean jobs available in 2013, with a 57 percent increase in solar jobs

Denver, CO, March 07, 2014 – Ecotech Institute’s Clean Jobs Index, a tool to compare states’ use and development of clean and sustainable energy, found more than 3.5 million job postings in the clean energy sector last year. This is a 19 percent increase from 2012. The Clean Jobs Index classifies clean energy jobs based on the Bureau of Labor Statistics description, which says that a clean job is part of a business that benefits the environment or conserves natural resources.

Ecotech Institute, the only college entirely focused on renewable energy and sustainability training, created the Clean Jobs Index to provide objective job information about the renewable energy industry. The Index also looks at various sustainability factors such as alternative fueling stations, LEED projects and total energy consumption across the U.S.

“Renewable energy is the future and this data proves that more than ever,” said Kyle Crider, Ecotech Institute’s Program Chair and Manager of Environmental Operations. “With solar jobs up 54 percent and clean tech jobs up overall nearly 20 percent, it’s definitely an exciting time in the sustainable energy industry.”

Ecotech Institute’s Clean Jobs Index is an aggregation of statistics by state. Although it may indicate a greater possibility for employment in the clean economy sector, the Clean Jobs Index in no way indicates the presence or the promise of any specific job opportunities. Data for the Index is gathered regularly from independent research entities including: American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy, Database of State Incentives for Renewables & Efficiency, U.S. Energy Information Administration, U.S. Department of Energy and the U.S. Green Building Council.

Welch Publishing Releases New Report on Improving Profits and Cash Flow

Leave a comment

Welch Publishing has released a new special report filled with effective ways to improve business profits and cash flow. The eye-opening free report contains nearly 40 pages of ideas that can yield dramatic results.

Hanson, MA (USA), March 06, 2014 — Welch Publishing is pleased to announce the release of a new special report with a plethora of effective strategies that businesses can begin implementing immediately to enhance their profits and cash flow. The special report is aptly entitled In Pursuit of Profits. More than 50 control, expense, reduction and income producing strategies you can start using today to dramatically improve the bottom line of your company or the direction of your career.

With nearly 40 pages, the report covers a broad array of issues that impact almost every business, from credit and credit collections to customer service, advertising and insurance. For example, under credit and credit collections, the report discusses pursuing uncollected debts, errors in delayed payments, delayed billing, billing according to invoice size, identifying bogus invoices, paying early for a discount, and paying bills according to the terms. The report also discusses a myriad of other important topics, including:
* Following up on every sales lead to avoid wasting money
* Combining products and services for automatic cross selling
* Hiring and promoting the most capable person—regardless of seniority
* Hiring outside experts to control costs and maximize results
* Letting suppliers help lower your costs
* Letting suppliers be your “bank”
* Getting free stuff

The informative report was adapted from the ebook In Pursuit of Profits: How To At Least Double Your Profits Without Increasing Your Sales. The book, authored by Derrick Welch, is packed with more than 1,000 cost control, expense reduction and income generating tactics to help companies significantly improve their cash flow and overall earnings. Welch—who spent three decades in senior management positions with both large and small companies—created the ebook and report to not only address business owners, but to also help employees and managers get ahead by showing them how to make a bigger impact in their company.

“While the free report and ebook are written to show business owners and executives how to dramatically increase profits and improve cash flow, they will also help employees and managers improve job stability and move ahead, as ideas that improve the bottom line of a business can only help an employee advance,” Welch said.

However, Welch does more than just write about cost-saving strategies; he has successfully implemented them. For example, his concepts helped increase the profits of one company by more than 1,000 percent in just two years. They also helped reduce the cost of goods sold in another company by more than 10 percent over an 18-month period—resulting in an effective dollar savings of more than $350,000 or $1,405 per business day.

Welch’s special report and ebook provide access to many of the same tactics that have worked for him over the years. For a limited time, anyone who orders In Pursuit of Profits: How To At Least Double Your Profits Without Increasing Your Sales will also receive a complimentary copy of Welch’s other ebook Defy Mediocrity. Choose to be Uncommon. Think of the Alternative.

ParaZapper realigns, updates zapper product line, and moves some websites

Leave a comment

ParaZapper Hulda Clark Zapper and Rife Frequency Zapper products have been moved to huldaclarkparazapper.com while the book “Parasite Zapping and the Zapper” remains available from paradevices.com/

Pinson, AL, March 07, 2014 – Hulda Clark introduced the original zapper back in the early 1990’s in her book, “Cure for all Diseases”, and since then, it has grown in popularity and use all over the world. ParaZapper products from Para Systems, Inc. in Pinson, Al produces top of the line zappers and makes them available to the public at reduced prices.

ParaZapper’s top of the line zapper, the ParaZapper MY is available at the new site as is the ParaZapper UZI-3 and the economical midrange ParaZapper CC2. The new site also offers the Eliminator line of Frequency Generators for those who wist to do serious frequency specific research.

ParaZapper MY model. This zapper which has a total of 80 frequencies in 20 modes selection with better accuracy is designed to perform better than its predecessors. Due to its crystal operation, the MY has very tight frequency tolerance at most frequencies. In addition to the increased mode selections, the new ParaZapper™ MY model has a superior zapping ability able to more effectively kill microbes due to multi frequency operation. The MY model has a distinct specific frequency feature that allows specific frequencies to run for sufficient time. Also, the use of technology introduced by Dr. Hulda Clark combined with Rife Frequencies provides assurance of increased coverage for many pathogenic microbes.

These models employ the constant current or current controlled output technology which is better, safer output that meets Dr. Clark’s recommendations. Other cutting edge features found in the Hulda Clark ParaZapper that are not present in other devices in the market include:

a) Multiple modes of operation

b) Multiple frequencies

c) Automatic rest period: this model presents a selectable automatic 20 minute rest periods between cycles. Though not one of the Dr. Clark recommendations, this is technology gives an upper hand in zapping.

d) Good connection indicators: in this product, the status indicator serves as s good connection indicator with the changing colors without reducing that output.

e) Larger contacts: this provides a greater amount of electrical signal to produce greater effectiveness than would be achieved with smaller contacts.

f) Does not need different modules for different uses

“We introduced multiple frequency zappers because they can reach more organisms, and the MY model is the latest in the market with amazing capabilities in killing microbes” said CEO David Etheredge.

One of the most popular zappers is the Terminator style zappers and these are very popular for their convenience. According to David Etheredge, “These zappers are limited because of two features. First, these electrodes are only about the size of a penny, which is way too small, causing skin burns, even holes in the skin from usage. Additionally, these electrodes are right next to each other, essentially shorting out much of the signal.” People who have tried both zappers, while they still like the convenience of the Terminator, prefer the effectiveness offered by the best ParaZapper products.”

The best results come from using a 4 point contact system with one negative contact and 3 positive contacts. In some cases, using this configuration with paddles and pads can almost double effectiveness and satisfaction.

Para Systems Inc., the maker of the positive offset zapping products as specified by Dr. Clark such as the ParaZapper™ CC2, ParaZapper™ UZI-3, and the new ParaZapper™ MY model. For more information on pricing and delivery, visit Hulda Clark Zapper Co. at http://huldaclarkparazapper.com .

San Diego Down Syndrome Book Drive Event

Leave a comment

San Diego Down Syndrome needs your used books, cd’s and DVD’s to help raise funds for our Spring Festival which will celebrate World Down Syndrome Day on March 21st 2014.

Lakeside, CA, March 06, 2014 – San Diego Down Syndrome needs your used books, cd’s and DVD’s to help raise funds for our Spring Festival which will celebrate World Down Syndrome Day on March 21st 2014.

Our grand event will be funded by your donations and will be a completely free event for all individuals with Down Syndrome and their families. Join West Jet, Costco and Mc Donald’s in supporting this event.

21 March 2014 marks the 9th anniversary of World Down Syndrome Day and each year the voice of people with Down syndrome, and those who live and work with them, grows louder. But there is still so much more we can do.

For WDSD 2014, SDDS is focusing on:

“Health and Wellbeing – Access and Equality for All”

All people with Down syndrome have the right to access healthcare when required on an equal basis with others without discrimination and with proper assessment of the specific health needs of the individual. We will be highlighting that:

Having Down syndrome does not make a person unhealthy.

Down syndrome is a genetic condition, not an illness.

People with Down syndrome may have health issues throughout their lives, just like everyone else and they should have access to healthcare on an equal basis with others.

There are specific known health issues which may affect people with Down syndrome, for which accurate, evidence based information is available.

Health professionals should be aware of these specific issues when treating a person with Down syndrome.

Health professionals should not discriminate against people with Down syndrome by:

refusing to treat them;

blaming health issues on Down syndrome in general, or;

considering only specific known health issues which may affect people with Down syndrome.

Whatever you plan to do, lets create a single global voice for advocating for the rights, inclusion and well being of people with Down syndrome on 21 March.

Outlook for Urgent Care Center M&A in 2014

Leave a comment

2013 brought growth to the M&A aspect of urgent care centers. However, with new government regulations and provider shotages, what will 2014 bring to the industry

Dallas, TX, March 04, 2014 – 2013 brought growth to the M&A aspect of urgent care centers. However, with new government regulations and provider shotages, what will 2014 bring to the industry

Owners of such centers shouldn’t suffer from a shortage of potential buyers, but preparation for sale will be the key to success.

“We have seen urgent care garner more and more attention from the health systems and that will also grow in 2014,” said Blayne Rush, president of Ambulatory Alliances, a healthcare investment banking and urgent care center broker firm. “Health systems see that urgent care is an entry point for the patients. I have seen where urgent care refer a great deal of patients to primary care and the systems are fighting over that influence.”

The pattern that some experts expect to see in the coming year is that of smaller deals, as oppossed to those involving urgent care companies with more than three locations.

“From a financial buyer perspective, the challenge is a shortage of platforms of sufficient scale,” said attorney Geoffrey Cockrell, co-chair of the private equity group at law firm McGuireWoods. “…It may require piecing together a couple [platforms] to have sufficient scale to absorb the overhead that a financial sponsor will want to overlay.”

The main threats anticipated involve state-level government regulation and national healthcare provider shortages.

“The regulatory market may put pressure on fragmentation as well,” said Cockrell. “You’re seeing it in New York, you’re seeing it in other states as regulators try to wrestle with this evolving industry. …This will make it more challenging for the smaller urgent care companies.”

Considering all factors, however, 2014 looks to be the year that those looking to do so should sell. Success in this regard will be heavily dependent on the preparations taken by physician owners prior to selling.

“An astute buyer will not buy compliance risk,” said attorney Jon Henderson, Corporate and Transactional Practice chair at law firm Polsinelli PC. “The stakes are too high from a reputation standpoint. An astute seller will engage in an appropriate level of self-diligence to understand his compliance profile.”

The growth and expansion of the urgent care market is thriving as a result of more factors than just the M&A aspect. Furthermore, while 2014 looks promising for investors and owners, experts would warn against letting this prosperous time pass by.

“Anything can be overbuilt, but there’s still a sense that there’s still green space available for building those businesses,” McGuireWoods’ Cockrell said. “If not, we’ll start to see more consolidation and that may be an alternative as well.”

Travel Thru History, sets to Air all Florida Episodes throughout the State

Leave a comment

The Daytime Emmy nominated Travel Thru History show is set to syndicate throughout the state of Florida this Summer.

Orlando, FL, March 03, 2014 – The Television Syndication Company, Inc. (TVS) is syndicating The Travel Thru History television show to markets throughout Florida this summer for a broadcast window beginning June 1st and ending August 31st.

The Daytime Emmy nominated series tells the history of destinations around the Sunshine State including Miami, the Space Coast, Key West, St. Augustine, St. Petersburg/Clearwater, plus a special highlighting several other Floridian roadside attractions including Weeki Wachee Springs.

“Response to the series has garnered a lot of interest among stations with several Florida markets already cleared. We’re sure the Floridian audience will be thrilled to see historical destinations and attractions right in there backyard,” remarked Cassie Yde, President of TVS.

Two years ago, the show’s creators utilized kickstarter.com, an on-line funding site, to get the show up and running through donations from friends and family. It’s currently airing it’s second season on the MeTV network nationally, and secured a Daytime Emmy nomination for its first season – an unprecedented achievement for a show from such humble beginnings.

“All of our expectations have been exceeded,” says Joe Dorsey, one of the show’s creators. “We set out with only help from our friends and family and a credit card. The overwhelming positive reaction to the show, and the critical acclaim it achieved has made it all worthwhile.”

TVS plans to air the show on major networks throughout the state of Florida for the Summer. The increased exposure will help the show garner more attention from potential sponsors.

“Anytime I can help bring something unique to an audience, something with purpose that will leave a lasting impression or create impact, I’m excited to be a part of it. Travel Thru History is exactly this opportunity. It provides an equal balance of education and entertainment to the viewing audience while showcasing Florida travel destinations in a thoughtful way beyond palm trees and sand. Advertisers and sponsors have a unique opportunity to connect with their Florida customers throughout the state or in regional segments of specific destinations,” explained Jenn Greacen, Executive Director of the Clear Agency, the show’s marketing firm.”

Co-creator of TTH John DeMaio explains, “I know Floridians will be excited to hear the history of their home towns. We went to so many interesting places around the state, and we’re excited to get their stories out to wider audience.”

Travel Thru History is produced by Red 5 Creative in association with The Television Syndication company, both headquartered in Orlando, FL.
