An Employment Company in Medford, OR Shares That Hiring Spree Still Continues in 2019

April 26, 2019 – –

Medford, Ore. – In yet another sign that a recession is unlikely in 2019, the vast majority of businesses in a recent survey from an employment company in Medford, OR, Express Employment Professionals, reported that they have no plans to cut their workforces.

In the survey from Express, respondents were asked whether they planned to eliminate any positions during the second quarter of 2019. Ninety-four percent said they had no such plans.

Express franchise owners report that the survey is consistent with what they are seeing in communities across the country.

According to Express franchise owners, the big problem for business remains in finding and retaining qualified workers.

Companies continue to struggle to reduce turnover and find reliable, long-term employees to meet demand. Many companies are seeking alternative and innovative means to complement their internal hiring process.

“After such a long stretch of job growth, it’s natural that fears of an inevitable recession would emerge,” said Bill Stoller, the CEO of Express. “But reports indicate we have a strong job market, a strong business environment and a positive outlook for the year.”

The survey of 491 businesses, which are current and former clients of Express Employment Professionals, was conducted in February 2019 to gauge respondents’ expectations for the second quarter of 2019.

Concept Concrete Now Offers Installation Of Concrete Driveways To The People Of Perth

April 26, 2019 – – Perth, Australia based Concept Concrete WA is pleased to inform the residents of Perth of the wide variety of concrete services they offer. Aiming to provide the best concrete driveways to the people of Perth, they assert that, “Investing in your driveway is one of the best decisions you can make.”

The company continues, “A great driveway adds value to your home and helps you stand out from the rest of your neighbors. You have one chance to make a good first impression, and make it last—so set the standard with a fantastic-looking and functional driveway.” With concrete being a wildly popular material for driveways, there are many reasons people choose concrete driveways over any other material on the market.

Concrete driveways are known for their unmatched durability. As Concept Concrete WA says, “Your concrete driveway will likely outlast not just you, but also your children. If it’s maintained properly, you can expect a concrete driveway to last more than half a century.” Concrete is better suited for hot or neutral climates and, since Australia’s climate matches that description, concrete is generally considered the best material for Australian driveways. Concept Concrete WA offers concrete driveway installation services across Perth, a service that many residents have taken advantage of. Find out more about concrete driveways Perth on the company’s website.

Another of the advantages offered by concrete is the low need for maintenance. Nothing is truly maintenance free, but concrete is the closest thing to a maintenance free material that can be found as it does not require as much work as asphalt or other materials. Sealing it will help ensure that it lasts as long as possible, and keeping it clean and occasionally degreasing it will preserve the driveway for decades. With the harsh weather found in Australia, a durable material that needs little maintenance is often the most ideal.

While it is more expensive than asphalt, concrete is cheaper than brick or stone. The actual cost depends on the style or finish but concrete is generally an affordable, durable, low maintenance material that many people choose over its pricier, high maintenance counterparts. A crew of professionals, such as those employed by Concept Concrete WA, can concrete a driveway within a few days, as the company retains a number of experienced workers that can take care of excavating, pouring the concrete, and finishing the surface quickly.

Concrete is also surprisingly customizable. “Plain, gray concrete works well, but you can also add some personality to your driveway with a wide range of colors,” says the company. “You can customize your concrete driveway in many other ways, too—concrete can be stained, stamped, or etched with any pattern you desire. Some scoring patterns are beautiful but also functional, helping your concrete become more flexible and less prone to cracking during cold weather.”

The company offers a number of other services involving concrete. Concrete footing, for instance, is essential in any concrete foundation, helping to evenly distribute the weight of one’s building across an area and thus prevent a structure from sinking into the ground unevenly. It allows for a wide variety of structures to be built on most terrains, even if the soil is soft or on a slope. Concept Concrete can install concrete footing rapidly and at a decently low rate.

Concrete piles are similar to concrete footing in that they support structures, but they are designed to support superstructures like shopping complexes or high rise skyscrapers. Concept Concrete WA can also build concrete garages, sheds, pumps, or add concrete extensions to any home.

When looking for an award winning concrete contractor, Concept Concrete WA is the first choice for many Perth residents. Those who wish to avail themselves of the company’s service may contact Sam of Concept Concrete WA. Furthermore, additional information can be found on the company’s website, and interested parties may connect with them through their social media platforms.

Better Lawns & Garden Offers Spring Lawn Prep Tips

April 26, 2019 – – New York, NY (April 25, 2019) — Better Lawns & Garden is offering tips on how homeowners can prepare their lawns on residential properties for the spring season. The company wants to share its knowledge with people who are looking to maintain and improve the quality of their exterior settings and landscaping.

Better Lawns & Garden recommends beginning lawn prep by removing debris from the yard. Homeowners are encouraged to use a reliable rake for collecting any leaves and twigs. Another suggestion is to check for areas on the property where the lawn may be matted due to improper ventilation. The company believes that the grass can allow air to reach the soil to reduce the risk of lawn disease and insect infestation.

They also recommend applying a pre-emergent herbicide to begin killing weeds before they start to take over the lawn. They suggest that an organic product is used because it can kill weeds and pests without having a harmful impact on the environment. The team also recommends fertilizing the grass to help it wake up from the hibernation stage and begin its new growth cycle. Better Lawns & Garden believes the added nutrients will also prevent it from dying in the coming months when it becomes warmer.

Better Lawns & Garden also recommends aerating the lawn to ensure enough water and air can reach the roots. It’s important for this step to be performed after the grass is fertilized. Another tip from the team is to give attention to damaged turf areas to help revive the grass.

Healing Star Recovery Shares an App to Help Providers Screen for Substance Use

April 26, 2019 – – Substance use disorders, including opioid dependency and addiction, are one of the biggest and deadliest public health threats facing the United States. Many physicians and other providers lack the training to confidently screen their patients and help get them treatment. A new app has been released for health care providers that can help seamlessly guide healthcare professionals through this process.

The SBIRT (Screening, Brief Intervention & Referral to Treatment) for Health Professionals app is designed to be used by providers in a health care setting. It is available for tablets, and offers a standardized, streamlined set of questions to use with patients to help identify potentially problematic patterns of drug or alcohol use. If the answers identify a moderate to high level of risk for health or social problems due to substance use, the app guides health care professionals in how to speak to patients about their readiness to change their lifestyles and set new goals. The app also supports the provider in discussions with patients regarding referrals to substance use disorder treatment, when appropriate.

SBIRT is an evidence-based approach to identifying patients who use alcohol and other drugs at risky levels with the goal of reducing and preventing related health consequences, disease, accidents and injuries. Risky substance use is a health issue and often goes undetected. The approach provides opportunities for early intervention before more severe consequences occur. Based on implementation of this model nationally, of 459,599 patients screened, 22.7 percent screened positive for a spectrum of use (risky/problematic, abuse/addiction). Of those who screened positive 15.9 percent were recommended for a brief intervention with a smaller percentage recommended for brief treatment (3.2 percent) or referral to specialty treatment (3.7 percent). The application can be performed in a variety of settings. Screening does not have to be performed by a physician.

Healing Star Recovery says, “Our aim is to get the app into the hands of as many health care professionals as possible.” Doctors check blood pressure, heart rate, and weight to screen people’s health. Substance use status screening can also help protect people’s health. The app could help doctors get people the help they need sooner rather than later. Many people die every day due to misuse and abuse of alcohol, opioids, and other substances. Increased use of the app could potentially save lives. The app can help break down barriers by providing tools that are easy or clinical personal members to use.

iMedicalApps.com selected SBIRT for Health Professionals as a top new app for medical professionals. Healing Star Recovery’s health coaches have tested the tablet app, which is currently available for iOS. Versions for Android and laptops are planned. It can be downloaded from the Apple App Store for free.

Serenity Wellness Foundation Releases Preliminary 2018 Data That Confirms The Deadly Impact Of Fentanyl

April 26, 2019 – – The United States saw a surge of overdose deaths in 2018 caused by the powerful synthetic opioid fentanyl, according to a preliminary analysis of death records by the United States Department of Health (USDH).

The number of synthetic opioid-involved deaths increased significantly from 2017 to 2018, according to the preliminary data. This increase is largely due to fentanyl-involved deaths; of the deaths that involved synthetic opioids, (91 percent) had fentanyl listed as contributing to the death on the death certificate.

“This dramatic increase shows that the opioid epidemic in U.S. has also become a fentanyl public health crisis,” said Serenity Wellness Foundation. “This data confirms that Americans addicted to opioids may unknowingly be exposing themselves to far greater and more deadly risks than they know. It is more important than ever for us to support fellow Americans in their efforts to seek help and addiction treatment.”

The growing impact of fentanyl abuse is so great that it is outweighing progress in other areas, such as decreases in prescription opioid and heroin deaths, resulting in a total 3 percent increase in deaths from 2017 to 2018, according to preliminary numbers. These numbers are subject to change as USDH researchers work further to confirm their accuracy.

Since 2000, commonly prescribed opioids have been involved in the greatest number of drug overdose deaths. The numbers of deaths has remained stable over the past five years. Since 2011, heroin deaths increased rapidly, but showed a preliminary 29 percent decrease from 2016 to 2017.

Data contained within this report are preliminary and likely to change when finalized. The results are indicative, not definitive, of the final 2018 drug overdose deaths. A final report is anticipated by early 2019.

Columbus Windows & Siding Offering Siding Examinations

April 26, 2019 – – Columbus, OH (April 1, 2019) — The winter months in Ohio can take a toll on the siding of a home. Small cracks or holes in the siding may not be visible to the naked eye, but moisture from the weather elements will find the openings and settle into them. The freezing temperatures that follow can cause moisture to expand and create larger holes and cracks. Columbus Windows & Siding has announced that it offers professional siding examinations to determine if any damage occurred to home siding following the winter months.

Large holes or cracks are simple for the average homeowner to detect, and action needs to be taken right away. Having a professional take a look at a home’s siding can be essential for not only repairing these obvious issues but also finding problems the average person can’t see. Not getting these problems addressed right away can lead to rotting, rising energy bills, and other long-term issues.
