Ecology College Offers Free Mold Removal Training & Certification with Paid Mold Inspector Course

The Environmental Hygienists Association and Ecology College announce free training and certification for the professional designation Certified Mold Remediator for students who enroll in paid training and certification as a Certified Mold Inspector by December 31, 2013.

Montrose, MI, December 11, 2013 -- Ecology College and the Environmental Hygienists Association announce the availability of free training and certification for the professional designation Certified Mold Remediator when the student enrolls and pays the $299 training and certification fee for the separate Certified Mold Inspector course by December 31, 2013.

A Certified Mold Inspector inspects and investigates homes, commercial buildings, and public buildings to find, test, and document both visible mold and hidden mold problems. A Certified Mold Remediator removes both visible and hidden mold growth safely and effectively by utilizing mold consultant Phillip Fry’s proven ten step mold removal protocol that is explained at www.moldinspector.com/mold_removal.htm.

Mold inspector and mold remediator training is available online nationwide in the USA, Canada, Europe, and Asia, as well as in person classroom instruction in at the college’s environmental training center in Montrose, Michigan, to which half of the population in the USA and Canada can drive in one or two days.

Mold training instructors are Phillip and Divine Fry, both of whom are Certified Environmental Hygienists, Professional Industrial Hygienists, Certified Mold Inspectors, Certified Mold Remediators, and Certified Ozone Professionals.

Phillip Fry is the author of five mold ebooks, which are provided free as part of the online mold training program: (1) Mold Health Guide; (2) Mold Legal Guide; (3) Mold Monsters; (4) Mold Inspection, Testing, Remediation, and Prevention; and (5) Mold Home Remedy Recipes. All of Mr. Fry’s mold advice books are also available for purchase at www.moldmart.net. Visit the Frys’ website www.moldexpertconsultants.com.

“The marketplace for professional mold inspection, testing, and remediation is multi-billion dollar in size in the USA and Canada because at least half of all homes and commercial buildings have a significant toxic mold infestation, which is often unknown to property owners and occupants because health-destroying mold growth is often hidden inside walls, ceilings, floors, attics, crawl spaces, and heating/cooling equipment and ducts,” according to Mr. Fry, who has been a mold inspector and mold remediator since 1999 in the USA, Canada, and Asia.

For in depth mold training and certification information, visit the college’s website www.ecology-college.com, email training director Phillip Fry phil@moldinspector.com, or phone Mr. Fry toll-free 1-866-300-1616 in the USA and Canada, or his cell phone 1-480-310-7970.

USA Book News recognizes historical fiction author Jessica James in the 2013 USA Best Book Awards

USA Book News, the premier online magazine featuring mainstream and independent publishing houses, announced the winners and finalists of The 2013 USA Best Book Awards on November 14.

Gettysburg, PA, December 09, 2013 -- USA Book News, the premier online magazine featuring mainstream and independent publishing houses, announced the winners and finalists of THE 2013 USA BEST BOOK AWARDS on November 14. Historical fiction author Jessica James is among the elite group named as a Finalist in the Fiction/Religious category for her latest Civil War novel Above and Beyond.

Jeffrey Keen, President and CEO of USA Book News, said this year’s contest yielded over 1,500 entries from mainstream and independent publishers.

Above and Beyond is the romantic tale of two people thrown together by war and torn apart by destiny. Released in July, 2013, it received a favorable review from Publisher’s Weekly, the book industry’s top trade magazine, and hit #1 on the Amazon bestseller list in the Christian Historical Fiction category.

"The publishing industry has come a long way since I independently published my first book in 2008," James said. "It is gratifying to see that books published by authors can compete, win, and be recognized alongside those of traditional publishing houses."

James, who won the John Esten Cooke Award for Southern Fiction for her last Civil War novel Noble Cause, is well known for her ability to describe the emotions and turmoil of the period, and for her expertise in blending romance with historical fiction. Her books have been compared to Gone with the Wind and Cold Mountain, and are widely read and enjoyed by men and women in both the historical fiction and romance genres.

Called “a real page-turner,” and “attention grabbing,” Above and Beyond is about a Confederate cavalry commander who discovers that faith is more important than glory—and love more important than life. Destined for an honored place among the classics of the American Civil War, Above and Beyond is a book to read, and keep, and remember forever.

Major publishing houses that contributed to this year’s USA BEST BOOK AWARDS competition include St. Martin’s Press, Random House, Simon & Schuster, Penguin, John Wiley & Sons, Farrar, Straus and Giroux, Hay House, and Llewellyn Worldwide.

Author Bio: Jessica James is a former newspaper editor who spent 18 years in a newsroom before turning her attention to writing fiction. Her novel Above and Beyond hit #1 in the Christian Historical Fiction category on Amazon, and her last novel Noble Cause is the recipient of the coveted John Esten Cooke Award for Southern Fiction among other national awards. She resides in Gettysburg, Pa., and is featured in the book 50 Great Writers You Should Be Reading, published in 2010. She is a member of the American Christian Fiction Writers and Romance Writers of America. More information can be found at www.jessicajamesbooks.com and www.jessicajamesblog.com.

GREEN CREATIVE MR16 7W High CRI lamp is the first and only LED Accelerator Program Tier 2 qualified MR16

GREEN CREATIVE, the commercial grade LED lighting manufacturer proudly announces its MR16 7W High CRI lamp as being the only Tier 2 qualified MR16 lamp in the Energy Solutions LED Accelerator Program in California.

Burlingame, CA, December 09, 2013 -- GREEN CREATIVE, the commercial grade LED lighting manufacturer proudly announces its MR16 7W High CRI lamp as being the only Tier 2 qualified MR16 lamp in the Energy Solutions LED Accelerator Program in California.

Featuring a typical CRI 95, R9 95 and R13 95, the MR16 7W High CRI lamp is perfect for applications that demand excellent color rendering. Unlike most high CRI LEDs, the CRISP SERIES MR16 delivers outstanding color accuracy without sacrificing efficiency. With a typical 465 lumens, this 1:1 halogen form factor lamp has an extremely high 66 LPW efficacy. This is over 50% more efficient than any other high CRI 45-50W replacement MR16. This innovative lamp has already been selected by the Illuminating Engineering Society to appear in the prestigious 2013 Progress Report.

Funded through PG&E, the California LED Accelerator Program (LEDA) works with LED manufacturers and multi-site PG&E customers, primarily in the retail, grocery, restaurant and museum/art gallery sectors, by providing incentives for the replacement of traditional lighting sources with the latest in high-performance LED products. In addition to providing incentives for high-volume retrofit projects, LEDA also offers lighting energy audits, economic analysis, product demonstration, technical product selection, and product specification assistance.

In order to qualify for the LEDA Program, lamps must meet a set of rigorous specification requirements. The lamps are then separated into two tiers, with Tier 2 products achieving a higher performance standard than Tier 1. GREEN CREATIVE has the most qualified products on the PG&E LEDA list, with a combination of ten PAR and MR models.

The MR16 7W High CRI lamp is the only Tier 2 qualified MR16 on the list which features products from over ten participating manufacturers. This lamp exceeds LEDA’s CRI 90 and 50 LPW efficacy requirements, both of which are more stringent than ENERGY STAR. GREEN CREATIVE’S MR16 7W High CRI LEDA qualified lamp model comes in 2700K CCT and a NF beam angle.

“It’s impressive that we have hit the Tier 2 mark with our MR16,” says GREEN CREATIVE’S Utility Program Manager, Erik Bluvas. “The Tier 2 standards were designed to push the market, and I don’t think PG&E expected a manufacturer to reach it so soon. The color quality levels are also exceptional. In my years of field auditing there has always been a strong demand for this, and now GREEN CREATIVE has clearly set itself apart from the competition with this high CRI MR16.”

PG&E presently offers an incentive of $0.17/kWh saved plus $100/peak kW for Tier 1 products. The stricter Tier 2 incentive level is $0.28/kWh saved plus $100/peak kW, making the rebate for the MR16 7W High CRI one of the highest in the country.

This CRISP SERIES MR16 7W High CRI is available through GREEN CREATIVE distributors. For more information on where to purchase the products near you or how to become a distributor, please contact us at: sales@gc-lighting.com or (866) 774-5433.

Mold Experts Warn Frigid Winter Weather Frequently Causes Toxic Mold in Homes and Commercial Buildings

Mold consultants Phillip and Divine Fry alert property owners that freezing winter weather is a big favor in causing indoor mold growth in houses and workplaces in cold weather climates worldwide.

Montrose, MI, December 07, 2013 -- Mold consultants Phillip and Divine Fry advise that freezing winter weather often causes significant indoor toxic mold growth in northern USA, Canada, United Kingdom, northern Europe, Russia, China, Korea, Japan, Argentina, Chile, Australia, and New Zealand.
One of the winter-related, mold-making conditions is poor indoor ventilation (because of usually-closed windows and doors) that increases indoor humidity moisture and airborne mold spore counts.

“Good ventilation of a home or commercial building’s attic, living areas, and basement or crawl space helps to keep indoor humidity below the 70% humidity level that is sufficient to enable mold to grow indoors,” according to the Frys, who are Certified Environmental Hygienists, Professional Industrial Hygienists, Certified Mold Inspectors, Certified Mold Remediators, and webmasters of the mold information websites www.moldinspector.com, www.workplacemold.com, and www.moldexpertconsultants.com.

Another big winter factor favoring mold growth is that ice dams often form on the roof surface from the melting and re-freezing of roof snow. Ice dams back up melting snow and thus cause water to run beneath the roof shingles and into attics, ceilings, and wall.

The Frys note that the biggest cause of winter-related mold growth is frozen water pipes that burst and flood into the insides of walls, ceilings, floors, and entire rooms and building floors.

Exposure to elevated levels of toxic mold can cause over 100 different major illnesses, according to Phillip Fry, who is also executive director of www.moldvictimrights.com and author of the mold advice ebook Mold Health Guide, available at www.moldmart.net.

“Toxic mold exposure in residences and workplaces can cause chronic tiredness, headaches, and memory and mental reasoning difficulties, plus the following top twelve mold health problems reported by the U.S. Government's General Accounting Office’s ‘Indoor Mold’ report, which summarized 32 federal government mold studies and reports,” reports Mr. Fry:

1. Asthma, asthma triggers, or asthma symptoms (such as episodes or attacks)
2. Upper respiratory tract symptoms
3. Eye symptoms
4. Skin symptoms
5. Allergies or allergic reactions
6. Wheeze
7. Cough
8. Difficulty breathing, trouble breathing, or shortness of breath
9. Infections (including those affecting people who have chronic lung disease).
10. Adverse effects to the nervous system
11. Fungal colonization or opportunistic infections in immune-compromised individuals and
12. Hypersensitivity pneumonitis.

With big hearts and even bigger imaginations, the The Small Sports go on many exciting storybook adventures while reinforcing the strong lessons that can be learned through sports.




Author Matthew Damman and illustrator Patty Eisenbraun created The Small Sports in 2011 when they saw a void in what was currently being offered to children. “With everything kids are being exposed to today, I wondered where the sports-themed characters were,” said Matthew, a father of two. “We wanted to create a wholesome but entertaining brand that would inspire children to be good sports and to use their imaginations outside.”

The adventures unfold in The Small Sports Take the Field, the first storybook in a series by the author/illustrator team. The book resonates with both parents and children through the classically illustrated pages that complement the engaging story line. “Sports have so many life lessons to offer younger children,” added Patty. “That’s why I feel so strongly about getting the Small Sports’ message across.”

The Small Sports Take the Field! is available for purchase on Amazon.com and at select local retailers. Please visit www.thesmallsports.com for more information.
