New Building Technology to Aid India's Housing Needs

New building technology created by International Steel Structures to aid India's housing needs. The time of completion for a steel structure unit will be in a matter of days from production start, helping to eradicate the country's housing shortage.

Delhi, New Delhi, August 04, 2011 - New building technology created by International Steel Structures(ISS) to aid India's housing needs. This technology will enhance the speed of a completed housing unit made of a steel structure, which will be more effective and efficient than the traditional construction model.Global Housing Alliance(GHA), a USA based company, has the duty to introduce this cutting edge and innovative technology to the country of India.

"The ISS building technology may be the best mobile building system ever designed!", exclaimed Cedric D. Griffin, managing member of GHA. "With this technology, we can help reduce the gap in housing needs by affording the Indian government, developers, and contractors to build all types of structures, with the focus on housing units. We are providing a product with structural integrity in an efficient way, but the beauty of it is, with the ISS technology, a family can have a live in structure within a few short days of onset of production, with the life of the unit to outlast many generations to come," stated Griffin.

Bob Koger, founder and chief architect of ISS stated, "With ISS building technology and joining the efforts with the pride of India , the housing landscape in India will be changed in a few short years. Imagine, technology that can build multiple structures in hours versus months!", exclaimed Koger.

"Homes, schools, apartments, shopping centers, hospitals, and motels are now achievable with this technology," added Mark Smith, managing member of ISS. "More importantly, these building structures are engineered to withstand elements of mother nature such as earthquakes, typhoons, as well as the crushing of structures that takes the lives of its inhabitants. Speed in building may be vital, but it is the safety aspects that are key to the security and well being of all the people of India," Smith said.

GHA proclaimed that developers and contractors in India will be excited to partake in this building technology because the ability to produce a unit with structural integrity, where production costs are effective and efficient, and where volume can be produced far greater than traditional labor intensive construction.

"We will be offering licensing agreements of the ISS building technology to targeted developers, that we have identified as having the ability and track record to maximize the success of the project for years to come for the good of India," Griffin stated. "A franchising type foundation will be used and initially we will license 15 regions in India to be the showcase to the world, of this innovative creation by ISS."

The 15 regions announced by GHA are Mumbai, Delhi, Kolkata, Chennai, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Pune, Ahmadabad, Kanpur, Surat, Jaipur, Lucknow, Patna, Dhanbad, and Indore.

Bobby Wilkes of Wilkes Consulting Group stated, "I have watched with great admiration for over twenty years, Bob Koger work with conviction and diligence to perfect this building technology, to share with the world for the enhancement of humanity. His resume as a world-renowned architect speaks for itself. This technology will be a world changer!"

The time has come and ISS is ready to share with the world this building technology, and India has been chosen as the showcase country.

Abrams Fensterman Cautions Health Care Clients

Office of Inspector General Is Aggressively Asserting Its Authority to Exclude Owners, Officers and Managing Employees of Sanctioned Entities From Participation in Federal Health Care Programs

Lake Success, NY, August 02, 2011 - "The longstanding but little-used authority of the Office of Inspector General (OIG) to exclude from participation in any federal health care program, such as Medicare, any officer or managing employee of a health related entity that has been convicted of certain legal offenses, should now be top-of-mind for all general managers, business managers, administrators and directors of today’s health care facilities," says Patrick Formato, a partner at Abrams, Fensterman, Fensterman, Eisman, Greenberg, Formato & Einiger, LLP (Abrams Fensterman).

Reflecting on his recent participation at June’s Annual Meeting of the American Health Lawyers Association, Formato is reaching out to his clients with a stern warning: "The OIG is becoming increasingly aggressive in targeting owners, managers and boards of sanctioned health care facilities. These individuals must keep a finger on the pulse of what is going on in every phase of their organization and they must be proactive about reporting their concerns."

Formato notes that exclusions under section 1128 (b) (15) of the Social Security Act are based upon the individual’s role or interest in a company that is excluded or is convicted of certain offenses. Individuals who have an ownership or a control interest in a sanctioned entity may be excluded if they knew or should have known of the conduct that led to the sanction. Officers and managing employees may be excluded based solely on their position within the entity.

"There is a higher standard for exclusion of an owner,"Formato points out. "The relevant statute requires evidence that the owner knew or should have known of the conduct that formed the basis for the sanction. In cases involving officers and managing employees, the statute includes a no knowledge element. The OIG therefore has the authority to exclude every officer and managing employee of a sanctioned entity." says Formato.

"As a practical matter, the OIG does not intend to exclude all officers and managing employees," Formato notes.

"But where the evidence supports the fact that a managing employee knew or should have known of the conduct, the OIG will probably operate with a presumption in favor of exclusion."

"Abrams Fensterman has one of the largest health care legal practices in New York state, representing approximately 125 nursing homes, a large number of medical groups and individuals in a variety of complex health care-related matters," says Howard Fensterman, Managing Partner of Abrams Fensterman.

"Some of our clients include physicians, medical societies, ambulatory surgery centers, diagnostic and treatment centers, hospitals, imaging facilities, dentists, podiatrists, chiropractors, early intervention agencies and other health care providers," Fensterman notes.

"This experience has led to our health care lawyers lecturing at bar associations, professional organizations, hospitals and colleges. At these meetings and through direct communications, Pat Formato and I, along with our entire senior health care-specialist team, will be underscoring what is clearly an environment of increased enforcement on the part of the OIG that is specifically related health care fraud. We want our clients to be proactive, diligent and aggressive so as to prevent legal action against their health care entities and the possibility of being sued and personally excluded from future participation in the industry," says Fensterman.

Howard Fensterman is Managing Partner and Patrick Formato is Senior Partner of Abrams Fensterman, Fensterman, Eisman, Greenberg, Formato & Einiger, LLP (Abrams Fensterman), located at 1111 Marcus Avenue, Suite 107, Lake Success, New York. The Firm’s website is abramslaw.com

New Word City LLC Announces the Publication of The Imperial Congress

New Word City LLC announces the publication of The Imperial Congress, a new eBook by New York Times bestselling historian and novelist Thomas Fleming.

Boston, MA, August 02, 2011 - New Word City LLC announces the publication of The Imperial Congress, a new eBook by New York Times bestselling historian and novelist Thomas Fleming.

Today’s spectacle of Congress boldly defying the president of the United States - be his name Barack Obama or George Bush - is unsettling to many Americans. But it should not come as a surprise. Congress, writes Fleming, has sought to seize power for itself - and diminish the presidency - since the earliest days of the republic.

About the Author:

Thomas Fleming is one of the most distinguished and productive historians and novelists of our time. He has written 20 nonfiction books that have won prizes and praise from critics and fellow historians, many focused on the American Revolution. He has also written 23 novels, many of them bestsellers, which explore the lives of men and women in vivid narratives that range from the raw America of the 1730s to the superpower that confronted World War II and endured Korea and Vietnam.

Italiaoutdoors Invites Wine Lovers to ‘Bike the Wine Roads of the Veneto’ This Fall

Italiaoutdoors introduces a new way to see Northern Italy this fall with their eight-day “Bike the Wine Roads of the Veneto” from September 25-October 1, 2011 and October 16-22, 2011. Custom Tours Mix Chef-Led Cycling with Food & Wine in Northern Italian Wine Region

Newburyport, MA, August 03, 2011 - Italiaoutdoors introduces a new way to see Northern Italy this fall with their eight-day “Bike the Wine Roads of the Veneto” from September 25-October 1, 2011 and October 16-22, 2011. Showcasing Italiaoutdoors’ expertise in custom recreational programming and the culinary arts, the program offers an in-depth exploration of the wines and wine regions of the Veneto, beginning in Verona and Lake Garda, and ending in Treviso and the province of Venice. The tour is priced at $3100 per person, double, and covers 30-60 mile routes, meandering through the vineyards-rich area at the foot of the Dolomite Mountains overlooking the Adriatic Sea. Included are all breakfasts, lunches, and snacks, and all but one dinner. A single supplement of $600 is available.

Additionally, for cyclists who love cooking, Italiaoutdoors' fourth “Chefs on Bike” Tour is scheduled in the Veneto region from September 11-17, priced at $4500 per person, double.

Bicycle the Wine Roads of the Veneto Tour – Sept. 25-Oct. 1 and Oct. 16-22, 2011

Italiaoutdoors showcases their distinctive ability to create custom active hiking, biking, and skiing lifestyle adventures with these two eight-day fall tours, offering cyclists an in-depth exploration of the Veneto’s wines and cuisine, and culture. The Veneto area, home to the largest number of quality DOC (Denominazione di Origine Controllata) wines in Italy, produces world-renowned vintages -- some only familiar to travelers within Italy – and includes Valpolicella, Bardolino, Soave, Gambrella, Prosecco and Lison-Pramaggiore. Participants will enjoy a selection carefully curated by Chef and Italiaoutdoors founder Kathy Bechtel, who is an avid writer about “undiscovered wines.” Chef Bechtel, together with co-owner and recreation specialist Vernon McClure, will personally lead the tours. A small group size, with a maximum of 8 participants, allows for daily itinerary customization and refinement based on participants’ interests, pacing, and r eal-time “finds.” Biking routes are designed for exploration of both the back roads and the cities in the area. This tour is through the rolling hills of the wine country, with routes ranging from 30 to 45 miles per day.

Beginning on the eastern shore of Lake Garda, the excursion dives into the world of wine with a lesson in wine tasting and selection, followed by a welcome dinner at a local “slow food” osteria. The trip introduces guests to savory wines including Amarone, Vapolicella, Soave and the most popular sparkling wine, Prosecco. Guests will also learn about lesser-known but equally distinctive wines rarely seen outside this region including lighter-bodies reds such as Marzemino and Tai Rosso, and the intense Raboso. Tour highlights along the rolling hills of the bike routes include visits to picturesque vineyards, churches and convents in Bardolino, Valpolicella, Bassano del Grappa and the walled city of Soave. The adventure ends with a farewell dinner at a trattoria in Treviso, a historically rich hub of the Veneto.

Chefs on Bikes Tour – Sept. 11-17, 2011

A fourth offering of Italiaoutdoors’ “Chefs on Bikes” program, the fall tour combines a week of biking in the Veneto with cooking instruction. Details can be found at www.italiaoutdoorsfoodandwine.com/index.php/our-programs/2011-05-28-14-29-27

Commented Rialto Restaurant’s Chef Jody Adams about her experience as Italiaoutdoors’ 2010 guest "chef on a bike," "There are many beautiful back roads and hidden treasures in this wonderful area of Italy. Biking was a wonderfully paced way to discover and converse as we explored. Our evenings were wonderful as well, with great meals and wines, and lots of laughter."

For more information on each tour or to receive Italiaoutdoors’ newsletter with recipes and wine information, visit www.italiaoutdoorsfoodandwine.com or Chef Kathy Bechtel’s blog at www.chefbikeski.com .

Direct Sales Leaders Seek Out Connie Podesta for New Economy Success Strategies

Award winning author and keynote speaker Connie Podesta teaches direct sales teams how to self-motivate, get ahead of the competition and STAND OUT, regardless of market conditions.

Dallas, TX, July 28, 2011 (Straight Line PR) -- Market conditions are changing at the blink of an eye (or click of a mouse). And direct sales leaders are turning to industry change expert Connie Podesta to teach productivity and profitability solutions - and how to "kick your own butt."

"Changing and challenging economies will always make room for the tenacious entrepreneur," says author, keynote speaker and change expert Connie Podesta. "The key for most direct sales companies is to give their teams the skills and solutions they need to SELF MOTIVATE, OVERCOME adversity and CONNECT with people."

Connie Podesta ( http://www.ConniePodesta.com/speakingtraining ) isn't your typical speaker. From the minute she gets on the stage, audiences realize she's a straight-talking, kick-your-butt-with-love kind of motivator. While laughing and learning, attendees often experience the kind of eye-opening, career-changing awareness that moves them to ACT - rather than REACT to the world around them. They see the roadblocks they've put in their own way more clearly. And more importantly, they learn what it takes to turn those obstacles into very real opportunities.

"Your captivating, 'tell it like it is' style, delivered with your comedic flair, forced us to examine why we behave and react as we do. I was overwhelmed with messages and comments from employees praising you and the important message you delivered to us. I truly believe that lives were changed in a positive way because of your presentation," says Stan Ivie, Deputy Director of the FDIC.

To succeed in sales today, it's essential to:

* Commit to change old thought patterns and habits and adopt a powerful action plan

* Consider whether or not daily choices are bringing you closer to your goals

* Leverage strengths and bolster them with new skills and strategies

* Evaluate personal performance and leadership skills and continuously raise the bar

Connie Podesta's Stand Out Strategies ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CyjZgk3x73c ) are empowering direct sales professionals to break out of traditional mindsets and in turn, break the boundaries of what they can accomplish. Achieving more in terms of sales productivity, business longevity and inspiring a legion of downline followers becomes possible with the right strategies, shift in thinking and of course, powerful people skills. Connie shares all with laugh-out-loud humor, edge-of-your-seat insights and a healthy dose of "get real" attitude adjustment.

"Health, wealth, success & happiness are not rights, but hard-earned PRIVILEGES. Entitlement is out - high performance is in," shares Connie.  "If you want to out-think and out-perform the competition, creating the long-term, sustainable success that brings you the security you want with the balance you need, you're going to have to do some things differently. That's what I teach, and what's leading salespeople across North America to make the kind of changes that allow them to finally realize the potential they always knew they had."

10 Ways to Stand Out From the Crowd ( http://amzn.to/10WaysStandOutBest Business Book of 2011 which delivers many of her fresh, innovative, foundation builders for salespeople seeking the keys for better relationships, better productivity and life balance. ) is Connie Podesta's award-winning

About Connie Podesta:

Connie Podesta ( http://www.ConniePodesta.com/booking/ ) is a sought-after professional keynote speaker, author and executive career and life coach. Her no-nonsense style coupled with laugh-out-loud humor makes her a favorite for leaders, associations, organizations and companies big and small.

Making Leadership Training Effective

The cornerstone of every effective leadership development effort must be realistic and effective leadership training.

Atlanta, GA, July 29, 2011 - The cornerstone of every effective leadership development effort must be realistic and effective leadership training. No large organization can survive or succeed in today’s world without effective leadership training programs.

Simply hoping that leaders develop within your team or that you can hire really good candidates for leadership is not enough. To succeed you must learn how to develop leaders in house. Developing your own cadre of leaders will always be cheaper and more effective than hiring outsiders.

Some Indications of Effective Leadership Training Programs

1.Employee engagement: people want to participate in the program because they feel they will actually learn something from it.

2.Faith in the program: management feels confident when promoting graduates of the program.

3.Increased morale: people feel good after completing the program and when participating in it.

4.Involved: the leadership training program is in line with the company’s goals. For example it is training people in the skills needed for expansion.

5.Long term: employees participating in the program feel that they will be involved in it for years. They develop a long term commitment to the company by participating in the program.

6.Strategic: the program imparts the organization’s strategy to the employees so they understand it and know how to implement it.

If your leadership training program does not fit these descriptions it is probably a waste of time and money. A good place to begin a leadership development program is with a list of Smart Goals. Sit down create goals for the company then start thinking about the kind of leaders you will need to achieve them.

Once you’ve done that ask yourself: how can I transform the leaders I have today into the people who will achieve those goals? When you have answered that question you will know how to set up an effective leadership training program.

Numis Network Today Officially Welcomes Terry Sauerbier to their Marketing team as an Executive Representative

The new plan is a vehicle for creating financial success through buying and selling collectible numismatic coins which have added value based on the overall rating.

Tampa Bay, FL, July 28, 2011 - Numis Network today officially welcomes Terry Sauerbier to their marketing team as an Executive Representative. Mr. Sauerbier brings years of expertise to the representatives of Numis Networks and embodies the Numis Network company’s mission statement: "To help people around the world live wealthier and happier lives."

With the new and improved Numis Network compensation plan in tow, Sauerbier hopes to share this amazing business opportunity with as many seasoned professionals and new network marketers alike. The new plan is a vehicle for creating financial success through buying and selling collectible numismatic coins which have added value based on the overall rating.

"With the current economic uncertainty, Numis Network is the single opportunity I have found, that is allowing its executive representatives to offer a product which has tangible intrinsic value with the potential to increase in its own value as time passes. It is the one product which once acquired, helps build financial portfolios, creates wealth, and can pay for itself handsomely. As for sharing the opportunity with others wanting a credible professional business opportunity today, There is no comparison to Numis!," said Terry Sauerbier, soon to be a leading figure in the Numis Network.

Numis Network’s executive representatives are rewarded as much for the success of their sales and marketing teams as they are on their own, meaning that each representative’s performance is inexorably linked to his or her dedication to mentoring new associates.

Numis Network’s compensation plan allows for high income potential through a combination of commissions, bonuses, and a binary system of compensation through the total marketing efforts of the entire team combined in an executive representative network. For example, representatives can earn as much as $50,000 directly through completed sales of their downline marketing team alone.

Among the most attractive of the incentives included in the compensation plan are the one-time $5,000 bonuses and the multi-hundred dollar monthly bonuses for buying a new 6 or 7 series silver BMW.

And the Numis Network’s compensation plan also offers Luxury Incentive Award Trips for distinguished leaders. The last contest featured a 7-day cruise to the Caribbean.

"Not often do you come across a company that really emphasizes the success of the entire team. I am proud to become a member and team leader of this remarkable business opportunity, and the quality of leadership of individuals, like Ray Higdon, David Wood, Chris Paraldi, and Burke Hedges, "Who Stole The American Dream II" author, just to name a few has been beyond speech." Says Terry Sauerbier.

"I have full confidence that once someone investigates this business opportunity, there will be no looking back! Who wouldn’t want a career in "promoting money, selling money, to make money!" That’s why financial planners from all over the USA and Canada are taking notice of the Numis Network and referring their clients to us to purchase and invest in numismatic coins as part of their financial portfolio’s"
