Chris Veugeler shares information on Hybrid Cars.

Hybrid vehicles have two types of engines working together, a standard gas powered engine, and an electric motor assist powered by a rechargeable nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) battery pack. In theory, this environmentally friendly combination of gas and electric hybrid technology gives you higher gas mileage, and lower engine exhaust emissions, we’ll explain how in a moment.

Hybrids are not to be confused with electric vehicles. Hybrid cars are primarily gas powered cars with electrical motor assist. Some hybrid cars are qualified as “Clean Fuel Property” by the IRS. Some hybrid SUVs like the Lexus RX400h are even SULEV rated (Super-Ultra-Low-Emission Vehicle), appealing to the environmentally conscious new car buyer. Many hybrid vehicles are coming to market in the form of hybrid cars, hybrid trucks, and hybrid SUVs. Here are some examples of hybrid autos: Lexus RX 400h hybrid, Lexus GS 450h Hybrid, Honda Civic Hybrid, Honda Accord Hybrid, Honda Insight Hybrid, Toyota Prius, 2007 Toyota Camry hybrid, Toyota Highlander, and Ford Escape Hybrid.

It’s natural to have concerns about teaching and breaking into the ESL job market for the first time. I felt these 20 years ago, when I first started. Yet I found that it was much easier to teach well and find ESL jobs than I originally thought.

Over the years I have gone from one exciting teaching opportunity to another, across three continents, and found work in good schools within days. I’m not alone in this; everyone on our training team has had similar experiences.

Genuinely caring for the well being and progress of students, from a confident and empowered mindset, is the hallmark of a great teacher. Ironically, not being overly concerned about what students think of you as a teacher, and rather, focusing your mind on being able to deliver great lessons is the key to success.

The ESL job market is one of the few that you can break into without having had any previous experience. Trends such as globalization and business restructuring have had a major impact on the demand for English teaching. The number of language schools and teaching positions in them has grown considerably, leaving school owners clamoring to find good teachers. There has never been a better time to enter the ESL job market.

Being a self-assured ESL teacher in a thriving job market is a ‘ticket’ to explore the world while earning a good income in a job that genuinely benefits others lives.

- P. Whalen

Our Philosophy

Our mission is to train our graduates to become excellent ESL teachers. We aim that our graduates develop their ability to communicate well with their students, while being culturally sensitive. We believe that great teachers are aware of their student needs as well as how their teaching approach affects the classroom environment and learning.

Our objective is to help our graduates gain a rewarding, worthwhile, life changing experience overseas. Our goal is to empower people with knowledge, tools and skills, and encourage as much confidence as possible. We strive to assist our graduates to make the best out of their career in ESL and obtain their goals in the English teaching job market.

Our training philosophy models the language, culture and coaching skills that make up excellent ESL teachers. Great ESL teaching combines language instruction, cultural sensitivity and good communication skills. Coaching ESL students by providing encouragement, praise and feedback is central to good teaching.

Sharper Impressions Painting

Choosing the right exterior paint can be complicated because of the wide range of surfaces that your home may have. Possible surfaces include clapboard and aluminum siding, wood shingles, tar shingles, cedar shakes, brick, concrete block, stucco, and old paint. On many older homes, you’ll find a combination of these surfaces. An experienced painter knows there is an exterior paint for every type of surface, and there are certain exterior paints that will work better on certain surfaces.

Sharper Impressions Painting

Exterior painting projects are more difficult than interior projects because peeling, blistering, chalking, and rust, mildew, cracks and chipping are commonly found on the exterior of homes. These issues must be dealt with prior to painting to assure the job is done correctly.

Like interior paints, exterior paints are available in either water-thinned or solvent-thinned formulas and in flat, semi gloss, or gloss. Exterior paints are more expensive and they also contain more resin and more pigment. As with interior paints, latex works best over latex and alkyd works best over alkyd. If you can’t tell or are unsure about what type of paint is on the house, use an alkyd-base paint.

Latex exterior paints are easier to apply, dry quickly, and can help minimize moisture problems because they “breathe.” Cleaning up is a matter of soap and water. These paints do not adhere as well to oil base or alkyd-base paints or to poorly prepared surfaces, however. Alkyds, on the other hand, are extremely durable, but they are more difficult to work with and they dry slowly. Also, solvents must be used with alkyds to clean brushes, rollers, paint trays, and drips.

Here is an example of how a painting professional, Ron Jones, from Sharper Impressions Painting used his knowledge to get the job done right.

A cedar house in a wooded location was covered in an oil-based, semi-transparent stain. Due to age and the wooded location, the stain was faded and mildewed, requiring thorough power washing. “We repeated the power wash a second day for a total of 16 hours,” recalls Hancock. “We needed to prepare the best possible surfaces before we began the exterior painting.” Although an average of 4-5 hours is usually spent power washing a home of this size, the Sharper Impressions team saw that more was needed to get this job done right.

Sharper Impressions Painting

After the aggressive power wash, the home required extensive caulking. “I wasn’t home the day they caulked,” recalls the homeowner, “and I was amazed to see the final result that evening. I was so impressed with the coverage.” Sharper Impressions used cases and cases of white caulking; every gap and joint on the home was seamless and well protected from weathering.

Jones advised an oil based paint with a top coat of Latex-based, low VOC paint for the house. Nearly all products used by Sharper Impressions Painting have little or no volatile organic compounds (VOCs) which release toxins and are harmful to the environment.

Knowing that solid paint products can peel easily on horizontal surfaces, Jones also suggested a special product for the 3,000 square foot deck. The railing received a water-based solid stain, tinted to match the floor color. The doors were painted with the third color in a long-lasting Acrylic Latex Based house paint. Each product was carefully selected to guarantee a high-quality, long-lasting paint job that will look great for 8-10 years.

Knowing the best exterior paint, preparing it properly before painting and focusing on quality will always result in a successful exterior painting project.

Sharper Impressions Painting proudly announces Corey Hancock’s promotion to District Manager/Part Owner of the Indianapolis metropolitan region.

Corey Hancock now leads the Indianapolis Division for Sharper Impressions Painting. “Corey has proven his ability as a master painting contractor who delivers top-quality paint jobs for satisfied clients,” says company founder Geoff Sharp. “He’s a great manager and leader with solid industry knowledge.”

Established in 1992, Sharper Impressions Painting provides interior and exterior painting for residential and commercial properties and is well known throughout the area for unmatched, yet affordable and professional painting service.

The local paint company combines traditional attention-to-detail with technical advances that allow Sharper Impressions to offer careful analysis of prep-work and accurate quotes, saving each customer money and reducing environmental painting waste.

Sharper Impressions helps homeowners make important choices. “We are the only paint contractor who offers free, in-home color consulting and free color ‘try-ons’,” says Hancock. “I know that color selection can be a difficult decision. That’s why we work carefully with clients to find exactly what colors they’re looking for.”

One of Hancock’s recent projects for an Indianapolis client involved matching three different colors of paint seen on a house 30 minutes away. “We drove there, analyzed the house colors, then had our paint manufacturer duplicate the colors,” recalls Hancock. “I think it’s important to go that extra mile for our customers – that’s just what we do.”

The project, involving nearly 6,000 square feet of painting and staining, was voted best “Before & After” – an award given by fellow Sharper Impressions team members. “This was just another example of Corey’s dedication to his craft,” says Sharp, “and it’s great to see his peers acknowledge exceptional work.”

Medical Review Solutions Profile

Medical Review Solutions started in 2002 and quickly grew to become a leader in the hospital & medical bill review sector of the healthcare industry.

The high cost of healthcare, combined with the complexity of the billing system, has become a major concern for payers. Furthermore, payers are becoming acutely aware that healthcare bills often contain substantial errors. This awareness has become especially prevalent since the subject of overcharges has become an issue at the center of local, regional and national media attention.

Although payers are aware of the problem most lack the specialized knowledge and skill to do bill review themselves. Many are turning to Medical Bill Reviewers to handle the review process on their behalf.

About Us

With a background in establishing EDI systems for healthcare applications, Medical Review Solutions is well versed in the healthcare industry as a whole - especially in cost reduction and containment strategies.

We keep our fingers on the pulse of what is happening in the healthcare industry to insure we position ourselves on the leading edge. As payers were becoming more aware of the immense and costly problem of billing errors, Medical Review Solutions quickly realized there would be a need for Medical Bill Reviewers. With this in view, we designed powerful software tools and a comprehensive training program to educate and equip individuals to enter this field. With the tools and step-by-step training we provide a person can now join this growing and dynamic profession.

With baby boomers aging, overall healthcare expenditures continue to escalate. The good news is: the demand for bill review services is growing right along with it.

Mission Statement

1. To provide an opportunity for the economic and professional growth of our Licensees/Solution Providers.

2. To continually conduct innovative research and develop leading edge strategies and technologies in the field of hospital & medical bill review.

3. To provide an environment for the growth and career development of our employees.

4. To be a contributing factor in solving the problem of the high cost of healthcare by directly addressing billing errors and other cost reduction issues.

Philosophy

Our overall philosophy is really quite simple and practical. We endeavor to provide a viable and cost effective solution to a specific targeted problem. Furthermore, the solution we provide must be measurable.

There is a huge problem in the healthcare industry. This problem accounts for over $10 billion dollars per year in inadvertent billing errors. When waste and abuse are added in, the amount rises to over $100 billion. This increases the overall cost of health care and at the same time decreases the quality of care.

Although identifying a problem is well and good it is not nearly enough. Discovering problems is only step one. Providing tangible solutions is what defines us and our Licensees/Solution Providers.

Healthcare payers have a problem and we provide a solution to their problem. What is the solution we provide? We provide software tools and training to individuals so they can become Medical Bill Reviewers and work with the payer community to insure they are being billed correctly for healthcare.

This is a very valuable service to payers because with the right tools and training a Medical Bill Reviewer can save a payer thousands, and in some cases, millions of dollars, in healthcare expenditures. For obvious reasons payers are interested in these substantial savings.

New Green Building initiative by Capital Remodeling

Green building, also called sustainable design, is a term that is sweeping across the construction industry. Green building involves making a concentrated effort to reduce the construction industry’s carbon footprint. Obviously this involves certain decisions that affect decisions and practices during the construction phase, such as transport of resources and supplies, worker practices, and the proper disposal / recycling of left over materials. Green building practices go far beyond the immediate reduction of a construction company’s carbon footprint, however. It should extend well into, and beyond, the life of the building project to have a positive and long term impact on the surrounding community and, by extension, the environment in general.

In order to effectively streamline resources and practices, and truly maximize the efficient usage of materials and resources, careful attention must be paid to design, construction, and maintenance.

Green building practices will concentrate on three specific areas and resources; environmentally friendly materials, energy consumption, and water efficiency. Of course a fourth area, the health and well being of the building project’s intended occupants as well as the community, of which the building project will become a part of, should also be heavily considered.

The main focus of green building and design is to create a neutral to positive impact on the environment. The rewards for choosing to work with the environment instead of against it are obvious and numerous. There are, however, many financial benefits associated with green building practices, as well. A green building project that has been thoughtfully and skilfully designed, constructed and, of course maintained, will reduce overall construction costs by as much as 25%, will significantly lower maintenance costs, and provide other forms of monetary savings and benefits. On top of this, tax breaks, rebates, and positive branding will also contribute to the financial benefits that will result as an outcome of green building and business practices.

In order to effectively streamline resources and practices, and truly maximize the efficient usage of materials and resources, careful attention must be paid to design, construction, and maintenance. Design involves an emphasis on minimizing materials and waste, reusable and recyclable resources are chosen over other materials, and energy and water efficiency is planned at every stage. Along with reusable materials, cool roofing options are also utilized. Guidelines and restrictions for cool roofing colours vary from state to state so it is a good idea to look into exactly what is required before you build.

While looking into guidelines for cool roofing, it is important to also look into LEED certification requirements. LEED is put in place to provide standards of practice for sustainable design, or green building.
