Besco Air, Inc Announces They Are Now Offering a Free In-Home Estimate

Many individuals now choose to make use of high velocity air conditioners, reports BescoAir.net

Chicago, IL, United States of America – April 30, 2015 /MarketersMedia/ —

Besco Air, Inc, an HVAC Contractor Chicago, announces they are now offering a free in-home estimate for customers. With summer quickly approaching, consumers need to act quickly to ensure their cooling system works as designed. Don’t wait until mid-May when Accuweather.com predicts the thermostat could reach the upper 70s at least once. Act now to determine if an Air Conditioner Repair Chicago is needed so everyone stays comfortable all summer long. When a system must be replaced, many now choose high velocity air conditioning as a replacement.

“Besco Air remains one of the leading high velocity HVAC Chicago installers, and consumers find these units to be truly outstanding. The process of aspiration is used to move cold air through the home, rather than forced air cooling, which helps to reduce energy consumption. Homes stay cooler as a result, yet consumers pay less to remain comfortable,” Jim Cox, spokesperson for Besco Air, Inc, explains.

A high velocity HVAC system makes use of insulated tubing, as opposed to big metal ducts. Each tube is approximately two inches in diameter, making this type of HVAC system extremely versatile. Homes where forced air duct work is cost prohibitive or incompatible for another reason may benefit from the installation of a high velocity system.

“One major benefit of choosing a high velocity system is the energy efficiency. Metal duct work, when lacking the proper insulation, leads to a decrease in the efficiency of the system. This isn’t an issue with high velocity systems, and the units are capable of cooling homes of any size. Individuals wishing to know more about this type of cooling system may call at any time and the staff at Besco Air will be happy to answer any and all questions,” Cox continues.

To save even more on heating and cooling costs, homeowners need to properly maintain their HVAC system, regardless of which type is selected. This inspection focuses on the air filter, evaporator and condenser coils, the refrigerator charge, condenser motor and more. Cleaning the system not only helps to ensure the system continues to work at optimal efficiency, it also extends the life of the system.

“Contact Besco Air, Inc for a free in-home inspection today. The sooner a problem is identified, the easier it typically is to fix and at a lower cost. Don’t hesitate to contact the company for assistance with any heating or cooling issue, as everyone deserves to be comfortable in their own home,” Cox declares.

Besco Air, Inc provides outstanding customer service to ensure clients remain 100 percent satisfied. Using only the finest heating, cooling and air purification products and employing licensed technicians committed to providing impeccable workmanship guarantees this is the case.

Impression Real Estate Reports Record Numbers As Auckland Housing Shortage Worsens

Real estate agents Impression Real Estate of Auckland NZ have reported record numbers during the busiest moving season of the year, suggesting the housing shortage is more extreme than it seems.

Auckland, Auckland Central, New Zealand – April 30, 2015 /MarketersMedia/ —

Auckland is the largest city of New Zealand, and it is currently in the middle of a housing crisis. As people flood there for work, there simply aren’t enough places for people to live, ensuring the rental industry stays extremely buoyant. Impression Real Estate is a company on the front lines of this growing crisis, doing everything they can to help renters and buyers find properties as fast as possible and at reasonable prices (http://impression.co.nz/sales), to secure their chance of living in Auckland. They are reporting record numbers this season, with even their unique approaches overwhelmed by demand.

The company offers several unique approaches including offering bus tours for individuals to quickly view several available properties in a single journey. They also help people find very specific properties with bespoke search, however even with these novel approaches they have a glut of renters and not enough properties to fulfil the demand.

This represents a golden opportunity for the investors, and Impression helps them to manage their properties (http://impression.co.nz/property-management-auckland) and facilitate a great relationship between tenant and landlord. The housing crisis has become so serious that Impression is even publishing rental statistics via live update on their website, so both landlords and prospective tenants can get the latest information as soon as it happens.

A spokesperson for Impression Real Estate explained, “We are currently facing a major accommodation shortage across the city of Auckland. The rental market is red hot at the moment, and we are sadly desperately short of stock. We had 65 individuals turn up to one viewing of a Volt apartment. Our bus tours are overflowing, and we’ve had to turn people away. This scenario is specific to this time of year, however this year it has been more extreme than ever. We urge property owners to contact us as soon as possible because we have tenant’s waiting to rent their property.”

About Impression Real Estate: Established in 1999, Auckland’s Impression Real Estate Ltd manages over 1,750 properties across Auckland.

Klondike Gold Begins $800,000 Yukon Exploration

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / April 30, 2015 / Klondike Gold Corp. (“Klondike Gold” or the “Company”) (TSX VENTURE: KG) is pleased to announce the commencement of the 2015 exploration program (see press release February 24, 2015) targeting gold-bearing quartz veins and newly identified fault structures (see press releases January 14, 2015 and January 19, 2015) on the Lone Star and Dominion Properties near Dawson, Yukon Territory.

Klondike Gold has engaged GroundTruth Exploration Ltd (“GroundTruth”) of Dawson, YT to complete magnetics and orthophotography surveys across the Company’s Yukon property areas. GroundTruth is using unmanned aerial drone (“UAV”) technology to acquire ultra-high resolution imagery necessary to produce orthophotographic base maps and digital elevation models over key areas of interest. GroundTruth will also acquire magnetics data using ground “walking” magnetometer systems, which have high-sensitivity and zero environmental disturbance. Each of these geoscience programs are anticipated to continue through mid-summer.

Klondike Gold’s geology and prospecting crews have also begun field work. Near-term objectives will focus on resampling and structural mapping of old trenches followed by final remediation of these sites. Prospecting, mapping, and other follow-up surveys will utilize geoscience data generated by GroundTruth as it becomes available and will focus initially on known areas of gold-mineralized quartz veining.

The remaining 2015 exploration season will consist of the collection of target specific geophysics, orthophotography, soil geochemistry, trenching, plus prospecting and mapping. The Company has budgeted for an initial test of approximately 1,000 meters of diamond drilling contingent upon continued positive detailed exploration results. Klondike Gold has working capital of approximately $1.2 million and is fully funded for 2015.

Work has also resumed for the season at the McKinnon Creek placer property operated under lease for the second year by Todd Hoffman (Jerusalem Mining LLC). Under the terms of the lease, Klondike Gold receives a 20% gross (15% net) production royalty which in 2014 netted 202 ounces of placer gold to the Company. The McKinnon Creek placer mining operation is featured on the Discovery Channel show “Gold Rush.” Season 6 of Gold Rush is currently being filmed for broadcast during the fall of 2015.

The technical and scientific information contained within this news release has been reviewed and approved by Peter Tallman, P.Geo, President of Klondike Gold Corp., and Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101 policy.

ABOUT KLONDIKE GOLD CORP.

Auto Glass Company Websites Must Be Mobile Friendly By April 2015 Or Face Penalties

This release is designed to educate auto glass repairers regarding the importance of having a mobile friendly website.

Reno, USA – April 30, 2015 /PressCable/ —

When vehicles need automobile maintenance and repair, one of the first things that their owners do is pick up a smart phone and look for reputable service companies. For this reason, it’s extremely important for an auto glass website to be mobile friendly. Having a website that is easy to navigate on a smart phone or tablet increases the odds that a customer will contact that business rather than that of a competitor’s.

People in need of auto glass repair are typically on the move, and are looking for service immediately. They may be searching for a repair firm that makes on-site visits or accepts certain types of insurance. If they are unable to find out this information, they are extremely likely to visit another auto glass website instead. Over time, this could amount to thousands of dollars in lost revenue, simply because a company’s website was not up to date.

In the future, auto glass companies could be penalized by Google, thanks to a new update that’s slated for later this month. This update will heavily affect those without mobile friendly websites, as Google is recognizing that people are increasingly using mobile devices to perform Internet searches.

Auto glass business owners do not have to wait until the update occurs to find out whether or not their website requires changes. Top 10 Local Experts can easily perform an analysis of their site to determine if any changes need to be made ahead of time. That way, auto glass websites can continue to attract new customers, while also maintaining or increasing their current page rank.

Now is the time for auto glass repair shops to act if they are to remain competitive with others in their industry. To find out more, business owners should contact Top 10 Local Experts at 775-775-4949 to schedule an initial consultation.

NY LASIK Offers Bladeless LASIK Corrective Eye Surgery to its Patients

New York Lasik Center, which is Located in Manhattan, Brooklyn and Queens, Utilizes Lasers instead of Mechanical Cutting Tools Used in Traditional Lasik Surgery

NEW YORK, NY/ ACCESSWIRE / April 30, 2015 / Dr. Leonard Bley, the founder of New York Lasik Center, is pleased to announce that NY Lasik offers bladeless LASIK procedures to his patients. As Dr. Bley explained, the bladeless surgery relies on the use of lasers for the LASIK corrective eye surgery. This 100 percent bladeless procedure may cause fewer incidents of dry eye, as well as a reduced need for follow up treatments.

Bladeless LASIK uses two different kinds of lasers during the surgery, noted Dr. Bley, who is a highly reputable ophthalmologist in New York City. The first one, called a femtosecond laser, directs laser energy in a precise way to create a thin hinged flap, which Dr. Bley then temporarily lifts from the cornea. The second type of laser, called the excimer laser, emits energy which is applied to the exposed eye surface, where the tissue is then removed in an exact pattern to alter the shape of the cornea.

“The laser is much better at making a flap that is of uniform thickness and precision,” Dr. Bley explained, adding that it remains thin near the edges where he wants most to preserve the strength of the cornea.

“The edges stick down more firmly, again adding more strength. This is a safety advantage for bladeless LASIK.”

Most patients who undergo the bladeless LASIK surgery literally see dramatic differences by the next day. Dr. Bley, who has over 20 years experience as a refractive surgeon, said that the procedure is safer than long term use of contacts. His customized treatment means that many patients are even able to return to their normal routine the very next day.

Dr. Bley, who is also the founder of the Laser and Microsurgery Institute, has performed over 20,000 refractive and cataract procedures over the years. Internationally recognized among his peers in the LASIK industry, Dr. Bley truly enjoys helping his patients eliminate their need for glasses or contacts.

About New York Lasik Center:

New York Lasik Center is a division of Laser and Microsurgery Institute. They have offices and laser centers conveniently located in Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Queens. People select New York Lasik Center for its reputation of providing outstanding surgical outcomes. Their state of the art surgical suites offer the safest most advanced technology available, including Bladeless LASIK vision correction and the most advanced all-laser cataract removal system in the city. The surgical expertise provided is complemented by their caring and committed doctors and staff. For more information, please visit http://www.nylasik.com/.

Harvard Ventures Empowers Queens NY Middle School Students During Recent Entrepreneurship Event

The Unprecedented and Enlightening Event Involved Students from St. Elizabeth Catholic Academy

NEW YORK, NY / ACCESWIRE / April 30, 2015 / Harvard Ventures, an undergraduate entrepreneurship club at Harvard University, held an event entitled “E^2: Entrepreneurship and Empowerment” on Friday April 17, 2015, focusing on the intersection of entrepreneurship and personal empowerment. The event featured some of the leading college, traditional and social entrepreneurs on three panels moderated by Phillip Schalli, president of the Entrepreneurship Club at Harvard Business School, Harvard Ventures president Eric Ouyang, and Chris Protasewich, a principal at Highland Capital Partners. The keynote was provided by former vice chairman of the executive committee for the Harvard Board of Overseers, Robert N. Shapiro. The Harvard Ventures event not only fostered entrepreneurship for Harvard students, but also empowered two dozen budding middle school entrepreneurs (ages 9-13) from underserved communities in Brooklyn and Queens NY.

Harvard Ventures facilitates a wide array of activities on campus, including founder and VC partner coffee chats, skill workshops, panel discussions with experts, pitch competitions, and social events aimed to bring together like-minded individuals from various walks of life. “It’s inspiring for us as college students to see so much energy, excitement, and vision come out of people at such a young age. The event certainly set a great precedent for Harvard Ventures to get more involved with the community beyond the borders of our campus,” said Harvard Ventures president and event co-organizer Eric Ouyang.

The day kicked off well before the panel event, with the schoolchildren from New York receiving an engaging tour and an insightful discussion of life at Harvard from Ventures Club members. Fabien, a 10-year-old from Queens NY, could not hide his enthusiasm for the event, saying “After spending the day with Harvard Ventures, I know I want to start my own business but I also want to go to Harvard, where everyone was so friendly and fun to be around.”

The three teams of middle school students from Brooklyn and Queens all attend St. Elizabeth Catholic Academy-a pre-K-8th grade school dedicated to empowering self-reliant leaders. The students pitched their own ideas for social improvement during the E^2 event, hoping to meet potential mentors and technical experts to join their social enterprises. “When we started Harvard Ventures, entrepreneurship was barely considered a career choice here, so our mission was to empower the budding founders on campus with the support, resources, and community they needed to take that leap of faith. What a treat it was to host middle school entrepreneurs who already had the passion and confidence to go for it.” said co-founder of Harvard Ventures and HelloToken CEO Brian Truong.

The students from St Elizabeth’s had worked hard to obtain this once in a life time opportunity. A presenting student proposal, titled “At My Business Bank” had previously won a financial education competition during NBA All Star Weekend in NYC, sponsored by Pursuit Sports Group and Regal Financial, that was aimed at promoting financial literacy to professional athletes and kids, with leading speakers featured including Secretary of Education Arne Duncan. The students are promoting financial literacy by developing a free financial app where kids and teens run their own virtual business.

Another student proposal, “The Purifers” have won several social entrepreneurship competitions at leading organizations across New York over the past six months, including NYU Stern and the venerable Kaye Scholer LLP. Working in collaboration with the MiddyFund, a nonprofit dedicated to empowering next generation of entrepreneurs through high school mentors, the students are tackling their community environmental issues by building a do it yourself greenhouse and other useful everyday objects built out of recycled bottles.

The last group of middle school presenters from “A Stride Towards Pride” discussed the lack of young people in positions of leadership and how entrepreneurism provides a solution. We want to show these young students how a spirit of entrepreneurship forms, how it develops, and how it can be used to effect change.”Many of the audience members approached us afterwards to share how inspired they were by the work the kids are doing at such a young age.” said co-organizer and Harvard Ventures director Joseph Kahn. The schoolchildren will continue on with their social enterprises; guided by mentors from Harvard and leading NY high schools such as Archbishop Molloy and The Baccalaureate School for Global Education.

The students gained invaluable advice from the speakers. The young entrepreneur’s panel featured some of the most successful college entrepreneurs including Brooke Nowakowski, co-founder of Spray Cake, Bitcoin wizard Michael Gao, leading entrepreneurial scientist Joshua Meier, and HelloToken CEO Brian Truong all discussed the advantages of failing often while young and moving forward from adversity. Seasoned entrepreneurs and CEO’s included Neal Romagnolo, Brendan Lattrell, and Anthony Davenport shared advice on maintaining a work life balance while building a startup. The leading social entrepreneurs included four founders and CEO’s-Jae Gardner, Janice Chong, Romone Penny, and Savera Weerasinghe-and discussed how one can do good and make a career out of it. St Elizabeth Catholic Academy board chair Joseph Sawe summed up the day’s events, saying “Everything went so well because of the incredible well organized team at Harvard Ventures and thoroughly interesting speakers. It was truly a life changing experience for some of the kids and mentors who received a wonderful informative tour, a very engaging session about life at Harvard, a well moderated panel of insightful comments and a once in a lifetime opportunity to present at Harvard.”

About St. Elizabeth Catholic Academy:

Throughout its nearly 130 year history, Saint Elizabeth Catholic Academy-serving students from pre-kindergarten through eighth grade-has provided a foundation where a love for learning, a desire for self-reliance, and a passion to lead in Jesus Christ’s community is championed.
