A new trend has begun to emerge that reveals that homebuyers are now opting for a condo over a single-family home. A condominium can provide a less expensive entry into the housing market and is also a low-maintenance downsizing option for seniors.

However, there are plenty of misconceptions about condominium ownership, which can deter potential home buyers from even considering them as a purchase option. Search Realty is an experienced and driven real estate brokerage and is quick to dispel some of the most common condo misconceptions.

A condo is like home ownership, but there are differences. When you buy a condo for sale, you do become a homeowner, but condo ownership involves shared ownership. The condo owner has every right to make changes to their unit, but doesnt have the same freedom when it comes to common elements (i.e. lobby, pool, gym). Thus, a condo owner doesnt have the same free rein as one would in a house.

Some other changes, such as plumbing and electrical, would also require viewing condominium rules, as some condos require the use of a qualified professional, and would not allow permission for changes to someone who plans a do-it-yourself job. As well, there are portions of the actual unit purchased that are referred to as common property, which includes windows, patios and balconies. Thus, when it comes to common property within the unit itself, the condo owner doesnt have free rein to make changes there as well.

With this shared property, the condo owner will undoubtedly have to pay condo fees, sometimes known as maintenance fees, which is used to maintain the property. And this condo fee applies, whether or not the condo owner actually even utilizes that shared property. For example, the condo owner may never step foot in the pool, but will still be required to pay condo fees, some of which will go towards pool maintenance.

This leads to another misconception, which is that some portion of these condo fees is basically money down the drain. After all, they are an additional expense, compared to owning a house, where no maintenance fees are required. However, these fees arent the unnecessary drain that people are led to believe. It is important to realize that whats included in that condo fee are generally the buildings upkeep and maintenance, but may also include heat, water, sewer, and garbage collection. In a nutshell, those condo fees are simply paying to maintain that condo lifestyle that the condo owner desired in the first place.

Moreover, condo owners viewing an MLS listing shouldnt look at condo fees as a waste, because owning a home isnt necessarily a bargain when it comes to maintenance and upkeep. There are expenses that come with a house, pertaining to mowing the lawn, shoveling the snow, fixing the roof, etc. Its important to note as well that where the money collected from condo fees is directed, is the responsibility of the condo board of directors. And this board is made up of owners just like the condo owner. Thus, no one is profiting from the condo fees associated with a condo.

Many of the misconceptions that prevent homebuyers from considering a condominium are mainly due to the potential homebuyer not fully understanding how condo ownership works and exactly what the condo owner is responsible for. In a single-family dwelling, owners will have more control, which can make expenditures easier to swallow and perhaps less noticeable. On the other end, buying a condo leads to less hassle in maintaining the property which frees up more time for the condo owner to do other things. When thinking about buying a condo, Search Realty points to the benefits, such as less upkeep, security, and amenities, which can sway the balance of a potential home buyer into choosing a condo over a single family home.

Baltimore, Md. (PRWEB) June 06, 2013

In the second-year (2012) of one of the nations earliest, large-scale Patient-Centered Medical Home (PCMH) programs, health care costs for 1 million CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield (CareFirst) members covered by the effort were $ 98 million less than the company projected. The results represent a savings of 2.7 percent on the total projected 2012 health care costs for PCMH-covered members and improve upon the 1.5 percent savings against projected costs registered by the program in 2011.

Approximately 66 percent of participating primary care panels groups of physicians that join together to participate in the PCMH program earned increased reimbursements for their 2012 performance in the program. Increased reimbursement levels or Outcome Incentive Awards (OIAs) are based on a combination of savings achieved by a particular panel against projected 2012 total care costs for CareFirst members and performance on quality measures related to the provision of care to the panels patients.

These results are encouraging, said CareFirst President and CEO Chet Burrell. The PCMH program was designed with the goal of bending the health care cost trend, and our second year results suggest that the program is having just such an impact. In addition, more participating panels achieved savings and the vast majority of those who did so in 2011 were able to sustain those results in 2012. It is a measurable and meaningful step in the right direction of slowing the rise of health care costs.

Currently, nearly 3,600 primary care providers (primary care physicians and nurse practitioners) participate in CareFirsts PCMH program. One hundred-ninety six of the 297 eligible panels (66 percent) earned OIAs for the 2012 program year; 60 percent of panels earned OIAs in the programs first year. The level of OIA for each Panel is based on both the level of quality and degree of savings achieved by the participants of the Panel.

2012 PCMH program highlights:

Primary care panels earning OIAs achieved an average 4.7 percent savings against expected 2012 care costs.
Panels that did not earn OIAs registered costs that averaged 3.6 percent higher than expected in 2012; an improvement over 2011 performance when panels that did not earn an OIA recorded costs 4 percent higher than expected.
74 percent of panels that earned OIAs in 2011 earned them again in 2012, meaning their patients registered lower than expected total health care costs for two consecutive years.
On average, Panels earning OIAs will see an increase in their reimbursement level of 29 percentage points. This increase is in addition to a 12 percentage point increase paid to all participants that continue to remain in good standing in the PCMH program.
Quality scores for panels that earned OIAs were 3.7 percent higher than for panels that did not earn OIAs in 2012. Overall, quality scores for PCMH panels rose by 9.3 percent from 2011 to 2012 a significant one year increase.

While the numbers are important, they dont tell the entire story, said Burrell. We are now well into the third year of the PCMH program, and we have created an infrastructure of nursing support, easily-accessible online tools and data, and targeted health programs that make it possible for primary care providers to more effectively manage care for their sickest patients in a more coordinated fashion than ever before. Thousands of our members are benefitting directly from this care coordination and that impact will grow substantially as the program matures.

CareFirst launched its PCMH program in January 2011. Today, more than 1 million CareFirst members are patients of physicians participating in the PCMH program. Nearly 80 percent of all eligible primary care physicians in CareFirst physician networks participate in the PCMH program.

The early success and promise of the PCMH program encouraged us to seek and secure an Innovation Challenge Grant from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services to expand the PCMH model to our areas Medicare population, said Burrell. Medicare beneficiaries, who frequently have complex health needs and multiple chronic health conditions, could benefit greatly from the coordinated model of care offered through our PCMH. We expect to launch our CMS-funded Maryland Medicare PCMH pilot this summer and will continue to look for ways to expand the model.

Tim Larkin and his Target Focus Training enterprise have practically become ubiquitous in the realm of self defense and protection. A brief visit to Larkin’s Target Focus Training website will quickly prove why he is the man to be trusted when it comes to self protection.

States Larkin, “It doesnt matter how active, athletic, coordinated or healthy you arewhether a shredded MMA fighter, couch potato, a stay-at-home mom, even a grandmother… all can quickly learn to neutralize even multiple armed attackers! The fact is anyone can learn how to use lethal force.”

Philosophically speaking, perhaps this Larkin quote best sums up his approach: “causing injury to the other guy Is the ONLY thing that allows you to walk away… alive.” He provides video and other real-life instances which corroborate this claim.

Larkin argues that we live in a very dangerous time, and often cannot rely on the availability of guns and knives for protection of self and family, citing several viable instances where this reality rings menacingly true. He laments that the majority of people who hear about his Target Focus Training system are either “too busy” to listen, or quickly conclude that, “it will never happen to me.”

Says John Taggart, chief editor at reviews-domain.com, “We certainly don’t live in the days of our parents or grandparents, and with a societal trend toward morbid curiosity, mindless violence, kidnappings, bullying, and all other manner of irreputable social interaction, perhaps more people should take a listen to Larkin and get prepared.”

“In the same way that a person buys insurance in the case of an auto accident or house fire,” says Larkin, “why is it not considered imperative to insure oneself with knowledge of self-protection using our natural tools?”

Continues Larkin, “Chaos in violence is a given. It comes on as a bewildering mess and doesnt change until someone does something specific to change it. The sword that cleaves that Gordian Knot is debilitating injury, where you take away his ability to think and move, or both. The first one to get it doneand knows what to do with itwins. Not the first to move, or the first to strike but the first to injure.”

In other words, “The guy attacking you wishes great harm to you, so you best know how to force him into inaction for your own protection and those under your care.”

This reviews-domain.com review is for people who are serious about being prepared in real-life danger situations. If you are simply looking to be the next MMA groupie to buy some gloves and a bag, keep browsing. Author, Editor, and well-protected person John Taggart is dead serious about defining the difference between fighting for sport and fighting for safety, or perhaps your life. Thus, Johns focus on Target Focus Training is purposeful, highlighted as a program that has philosophy and system unabashedly in favor of brutality-by-necessity.

The search engine optimization has clear goals. Webmasters who use search engine optimization want to have a site that is well positioned on search engines.

Webmasters who are using optimization techniques for media must know your target audience. You need to know what attracts you to that particular group of people.

It is important to remember that the same did not like the whole world. While optimizing for social media is a relatively new concept, some people believe this will be one of the top seven marketing trends of the near future.

Social media optimization is something that encourages a fun social environment. Enjoy!

GreenCell Technologies GT5 investor information can be contacted on GreenCell Technologies Inc. 7-21 Industry Street, Aurora, Ontario L4G 1X6 investors (at) greencelltek.com. GreenCell Technologies trades on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange Open Market Symbol: GT5

Press Releases are issued online by EquityStoryAG. Seitzstrasse 23, 80538 Munich, Germany

GreenCell Technologies Inc  is a Canadian company dedicated to designing and bringing to market, technology-based products in the alternative energy market. The current product is called the HydroCell, an on-board on-demand hydrogen generator engineered specifically for Diesel Transport Trucks.

Listed on the Frankfurt Exchange: GT5 – Last Trade

The HydroCell produces Hydrogen Gas, on demand, and adds it to the air drawn into a diesel engine. This small quantity of Hydrogen has large effects on the combustion process. The result is approximately 10% fuel savings and up to a 60% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions (nitrous oxides, hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide).

GreenCell Tek GT5 is also involved in the Solar Energy market. We are currently conducting research and developing strategies to open an alternative energy division that will offer product, consultation and installation services for the Canadian market.

The HYDROCELL system is a safe and reliable product designed exclusively for the Diesel Transport Truck market. The HYDROCELL draws only 25 Amps from the vehicles 12 Volt system and generates enough hydrogen through-out the entire RPM range to enhance combustion.

Top Gear Special Event Ft Lotus Elise (GT5) Sports

GreenCell Technologies advanced feedback system monitors several conditions and adjusts the electrolysis process, to provide safe and efficient production of Hydrogen gas. The system was designed to operate in a temperature range of -40 to +60C and has an in-cab indicator to show system status. Installation requires no modification to the engine and does not affect the manufacturer’s warranty. The only maintenance needed is the addition of distilled water every 250 hours of operation.

It has been proven in validated tests that adding Hydrogen to fuel in an internal combustion engine will increase the flame speed. At various RPM’s the fuel that is present in the cylinder is not completely burned during the combustion cycle due to the flame speed of petroleum based fuels and the amount of time the combustion cycle is allowed, due to engine speed and load. The addition of Hydrogen gas increases that flame speed and allows for all the fuel in the cylinder to be burned during each combustion cycle. This increases the power produced during that cycle which results in a net savings in fuel use of 10% on average. Greenhouse Gas emissions are also reduced significantly as the major cause of those emissions is un-burnt fuel in the exhaust. Average of 10% Fuel Saving, Produces Hydrogen on demand, Operates only when engine is running, Low Maintenance – requires water every 200 operating hours and Fail-Safe design – stores no Hydrogen.

Applications are for Transport Trucks, School Busses, Municipal Heavy Equipment – Snow-Plows – Garbage & Recycle Trucks, Farm Heavy Equipment – Tractors – Sprayers/Bailers & Harvesters, Construction Heavy Equipment – Bulldozers – Dump Trucks – Black-Hoes and Diesel-Electric Generators.

Internet marketing forums are a great source of knowledge. There are internet marketing forums for thousands of different niches. People congregate in these forums and talk about anything that has to do with their niche. It is a place to establish relationships with peers.

Each internet marketing forum has its own guidelines. When you first enter a forum and sign up as a member, you need to find out the rules. You usually fill in your profile information and some other data, and maybe post your photo. You also create a signature link, which is the link that is going to be shown under your name every time you make a post. These signature links usually link back to your website or promotion.

Some of the forums will not allow you to show a signature until you have a certain amount of posts. Other rules are, for example, that you cannot contact another member directly or post an offer for a product or service until you have a certain number of posts, or contributions.

People get to ask all kinds of questions at forums, and other members will follow the thread and add comments, suggestions, answers, or whatever they want to contribute. Some threads get multiple replies and last for a long time.

In the internet marketing forums you really get to hear what people are dealing with and the problems and struggles that they are having, as well as their successes and insights. There is also a lot of input from people offering solutions and help. You have newbies, and you have experienced internet marketers, and everybody shares their perspectives.

I specialize in the Internet Marketing information niche, and my favorite is the Warrior Forum.

There are some great internet marketers in this forum, and I have learned a lot from them. I really feel that I find the answers to my questions even while reading other people’s threads. Many times I have found new information that I was not aware of that has helped me a lot. People contribute real gems of knowledge and advice in this forum.

I have also met people who offer very specialized services, that are truly excellent. If you need a certain kind of information, don’t hesitate to ask in the forum. You will invariably be directed to the right source.

I find internet marketing forums very refreshing in that they are one place you are not going to hear the sales pitches that you get bombarded with in emails every day. I really can trust most of what I hear in the forums because people are exposing their views and their knowledge and discussing it. If someone is not correct about something, he will be called on it. So there is like a forum police that won’t let you get away with BS.

Just tonight I started a thread at a forum. Someone had taken one of my articles and posted it on his blog, which is fine. He did leave my name as the author, but he had removed my links and inserted some of his links in the body of my article, which I believe is totally wrong. But I realized that this was an authority blog, and that if I asked him to remove his links he would probably remove my article from his blog. So I thought it was probably better to let it go so that he would keep my article, and that way I get exposure. So I ran it by the forum, and got great feedback. They confirmed my way of thinking, and also offered some other options that I have.

To me internet marketing forums are the best way to meet other people in my niche, as well as the best source of education. I make it a habit to visit the forums at least every other day, and also to contribute and offer content.
