May 20th, 2012 No comments


Duluth, MN (PRWEB) April 24, 2012

Gizmoplans has added a new set of construction plans for the purpose of building a cement silo – storage silo to store cement or dry materials. With the release of the newest plans from the DIY site, companies have the ability to save money and time. Instead of looking for a storage silo to purchase, companies now can simply build their own.

Whether a company runs a ready-mix plant or operates a mobile concrete plant where cement is mixed at the construction site, it will find that with the detailed plans Gizmoplans offers, they can build their own 225 barrel silo for storing cement. Many times a company is thinking of purchasing a cement silo for sale, not realizing that they can simply build their own, saving them time and money. Companies can also have the silo built for them using a local fabrication outlet, which still saves them money and time.

The plans can be purchased directly through Gizmoplans website and immediately down-loaded, giving companies the ability to start construction immediately. The silo plans contain specifications for a 225 barrel capacity, top railing and manhole, vibrators 4 air pad, inside ladder, 4 filler pipe, pressure blow-off valve, and a 150 ft. area dust house.

Included in the new cement silo plans are:


Shop layout drawings

Color photos

Complete bill of materials with stock steel parts

Individual piece part drawings

Sheet metal layout drawings

Can be used for Cement or any other Dry Storage needs

Complete list of purchased parts and suppliers with telephone numbers

Once the business has the detailed plans for building a storage silo, they can have as many silos built as they need. This gives companies the ability to expand their storage capacity as they grow, eliminating the hassle of having to find a cement silo for sale each time they need more space. Furthermore, Gizmoplans offers engineer support throughout the entire construction process so if companies have concerns or questions, help is only a phone call or an e-mail away. The plans are offered with a 100% no risk guarantee, giving cement companies, and other customers, further peace of mind.

WellBalance Promotes National Mental Health Awareness Month with Weight Loss Camp Curriculum

May 2nd, 2012 No comments


Asheville, NC (PRWEB) May 02, 2012

WellBalance, a leading health organization that runs summer weight loss camps & residential adult programs for ages 20-29, is promoting National Mental Health Awareness Month by emphasizing the healthy diet and exercise habits overweight and obese individuals need to improve.

As part of the mental health curriculum for this summers weight loss camp as well as the Support at Home program for alumni, WellBalance has modified its assessments, lifestyle coaching, and nutritional counseling that will help develop and reinforce the diet and exercise changes conducive to healthy living. WellBalance will provide this behavioral curriculum with weight loss campers this summer as well as share some of this insight on John Taylors Weight Loss Blog.

One of the biggest struggles our campers face is altering their self-perception, said John Gordon, WellBalance CEO. Many of our campers come to us feeling like they cant be successful in achieving their ambitions. Our mental health approach is such a critical element of our healthy living approach. Campers are able to deconstruct reasons why they dont see themselves being successful, and then come up with strategies with will allow them to meet their long-term wellness goals. At WellBalance, we aim for all of our campers to leave knowing how to lead healthier, happier lives.

Mental Health Awareness Month was started by the National Mental Health Association in 1949, and they aim to increase awareness of mental health through two different themes. Their Do More for 1 in 4 campaign promotes to the one in four Americans who live with a diagnosable and treatable mental health condition that they can achieve recovery. The Healing Trauma’s Invisible Wounds emphasizes the impact of traumatic events on individuals and families, something that many WellBalance campers have experiences with.

We have worked with a number of campers who have experienced a great deal of emotional trauma in their lives, said John Taylor, Vice-President of Programs at WellBalance. Whether it is bullying, social isolation, or a very poor self-image, WellBalance campers benefit from health coaching sessions led by licensed clinicians. One of our biggest goals is to help campers realize that while reaching a healthy weight is important, they are worth a heck of a lot more than the number on the scale indicates, and they deserve to be happy.

According to a 2010 study in the Journal of School Health, a clear relationship exists between obese youth and negative body images, symptoms of depression, poor self-esteem, and being unable to develop feelings of happiness. WellBalance aims to help our weight loss campers overcome all of these negative feelings, and as part of National Mental Health Month, continue to offer our continual care through our Support at Home program to help clients continue their journey towards a healthy lifestyle.

Advocates for Communities Announces the Launch and Development of Shoals Creek Farm Village in North Carolina, a Fully Sustainable and Eco-Friendly Artisian Community

April 11th, 2012 No comments


St. Augustine, Florida (PRWEB) April 11, 2012

An informational gathering will be open to potential residents and investors Friday, April 13 and Saturday, April 14th from 9-5 p.m. To register or find more information, http://www.ShoalsVillage.com/workshop.

SHOALS CREEK FARM VILLAGE will be established as an intentional pedestrian community just outside Murphy, North Carolina complete with alternative renewable energy production, preserved green spaces, farming, wildlife habitats, spring fed ponds, educational retreat center, recreation, service centers, wellness center and more. The inspiration for the development comes from such communities that were established pre-fossil-fuel such as historic St. Augustine, St. George Street, English villages such as the Cotswold villages, Findhorn and other pedestrian farm focused villages throughout the world. The design evokes the traditional cluster and hamlet living creating a timeless, car-free environment within a farming and artisan community. The primary goal of the founders and directors is to involve the future residents and the local community to focus on re-enforcing the local economy with sustainable jobs, businesses and work-force housing while re-enforcing the overall health of the area, region, and planet.

SHOALS CREEK FARM VILLAGE is based on strict conservation principles to create an inspiring, self-sufficient, multi-age, intergenerational and organic lifestyle. A permaculture urban design will be implemented to conserve natural resources, incorporating the use of alternative power sources, recycling, and produce less waste and minimize the environmental footprint of a conventional city. The community will produce 50-90% less carbon per person based on conservation community principles. All structures reflect the policy of sustainability and integrate local materials. There will be a central transportation facility that will provide space to deposit a car/vehicle but will also house environmentally friendly vehicles for residents who may need the use of transportation to move around the village.

The Shoals Creek Farm Village site was chosen for its unique natural setting and its close proximity of one mile from the Shoals Rural Township Center, including the 500 student Hiwassee K-12 School and store. The site will be the future home of the 150 unit conservation community on approximately 300 acres. The property is surrounded by hundreds of acres of land with a diversity of wildlife and is located 5 miles from Apalachee Lake and Hiwassee Lake. Approximately 250 acres of the 300 acres will be preserved in perpetuity for wildlife habitats and farming and development will be placed on a maximum of 50 acres (10-15% of the site). The conservation community will include a 120 unit pedestrian village and organic farm, a farm and dairy hamlet, an equestrian hamlet, a summer camp, an education and retreat center, and an outlet store in the Shoals Township. The Farm Village will be a mixed income, full life village with will facilitate aging in place and exchanges between young and old.

The Shoals Creek Farm Village and Hamlet build rate is anticipated to be over a 5 year period, at an average absorption rate of approximately 30 homes per year. Each phase will be based on pre-investment. The Shoals Creek Farm at full production will meet most of the food requirements for the community as well as be able to sustain the community in the event of a food crisis. The design was lead by the founding farmer for Serenbe Farms in Palmetto, Georgia, known as Farmer D, who created a 25 acre biodynamic farm that supplies the community with fresh produce and organic gardening supplies.

Advocates for Communities, a nonprofit organization, lead by visionaries and directors Jeff and Sofia Kaller, and Village Habitat for Design, a second generation eco village master builder, co-founded by Greg Ramsey, have designed and are developing an intentional sustainable village community that will be used as a template for other villages that can be developed around the world. These agriculturally based, artisanal live and work communities are focused on conservation, self-reliance, sustainability, and quality of life. Advocates for Communities vision if the enhanced growth, through identification of areas of expansion for village based communities throughout the United States.

Greg Ramsey and Village Habitat Design have a global reputation for award winning quality and long, strong record of built sustainable projects. Following in his fathers footsteps, Greg Ramsey witnessed the inception of the eco village movement (1972) that has exploded to over the 40 years transforming the global lifestyle paradigm to one of intentional conservation communities numbering in the hundreds all over the world. Greg has pioneered the growth of the conservation community movement with landmark projects such as Lake Claire Cohousing, East Lake Commons Cohousing village, and the Chattahoochee Hill Country, large scale village conservation project.
