Jacksonville Tree Service Experts Helps Homeowner Create Room for New Fence

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- When Adalyn Cooper finally decided to improve his privacy last week, the first idea was to build a fence. However, when Cooper sat down to plan his wall, the homeowner realized a wall was impossible until he removed four trees in the way of the property development project, said Jacksonville Tree Service Experts.

"The family's idea was to get a team to bring the trees down and open up the space for a stone wall construction," said Adalyn. "After years of working with Jacksonville Tree Service Experts and enjoying the company's results with every procedure, the family did not have to look for a different team."

The homeowner noted that he requested a tree removal quotation when he called Jacksonville Tree Service Experts. However, when the company sent a professional to his landscape to analyze the situation, Cooper reportedly settled for tree transplanting.

"The family had never heard about mature tree transplanting," said Cooper. "However, the idea of keeping the trees and opening the landscape for the fence construction project sounded good. While the tree transplanting procedure would be more expensive than the tree removal, the family knew the value of the trees would be preserved."

To see all the services offered by Jacksonville Tree Service Experts, visit the company's website: https://www.treeservicesjacksonville.net/.

The homeowner noted that his family wanted to initiate the fence construction as soon as possible.

"When the family informed Jacksonville Tree Service Experts that the fence was supposed to start soon," said Cooper, "the official sent to provide a quotation surprised everyone mentioning that the tree transplanting procedure would be initiated the same day."

Jacksonville Tree Service Experts reportedly started the tree transplanting procedure at 2 pm, just 30 minutes after Cooper's family had accepted the quotation provided by the company.

"The family knew that the tree transplantation would be complicated," said Cooper. "In the family's mind, the company would dig manually to uproot the trees together with their roots. However, the family was confused when the company's tree removal team arrived on the landscape with advanced tree maintenance gear."

The homeowner told reporters that while he had expected the company to take hours on the tree uprooting alone, the company spent less than an hour on the first tree.

"The company brought a special machine they used to dig the hole where the transplanted tree would end up," said Cooper. "The chief of field operations had one of his arborists analyze the trees and estimate the depth they would need to dig the hole. Next, they used a special machine to uproot the tree. The special machine did more than uproot the tree-it also loaded the tree on a truck that transported it to its new location."

The homeowner noted that the company returned earlier today to complete the tree transplanting procedure.

"The company arrived on the landscape at around 7 am," said Cooper. "The goal of doing this was to ensure that the tree removal team would find everyone at home since the company knew the family would be leaving for an event."

The homeowner noted that the company did an impressive job with the remaining trees. Cooper was amazed that the company completed the transplanting of 3 mature trees in the space of 4 hours.

"Having well-maintained tree service gear," said Cooper, "and a team with years of experience has always worked great for Jacksonville Tree Service Experts. The family will always keep using the company's services and will further recommend these services to others."

Jacksonville Tree Service Experts has its base of operation at 14382 Pelican Bay Ct, Jacksonville, FL 32224, United States. Homeowners interested in the company's services can dial +1 904-867-3524 or send an email to sales@treeservicesjacksonville.net.

Eliminating Bias in Employment Hiring

FORT MYERS, Fla. -- Black people routinely face discrimination in the hiring process. Sometimes this happens because of a conscious bias. However, unconscious bias frequently occurs due to people's tendency to hire people like themselves, according to job site Trove Talent.

Potential employers often skip over applicants with better skills and more relevant experience for a specific job if their resume reveals one or more of the six common contributors to bias.

A Better Way for Employers to Hire.

Trove Talent brings a new approach to the problem of initial bias in the hiring process with the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Trove Talent's proprietary algorithm.

Trove Talent rates and ranks all job candidates according to how well their abilities, skills, and talents match the specific requirements for an employer's open job position. Then, Trove Talent removes the six most common causes of bias in an organization's talent recruitment thinking, resume review procedures, interview consideration process, and hiring practices.

By eliminating the bias (conscious or unconscious), Trove Talent's new website helps firms find the talent they've been missing and leads employers to hire the best candidate for the job regardless of race, ethnicity, gender, or age.

Because Trove rates and ranks job seekers on their talents, more people get through the screening process providing for "real" equal opportunity employment.

A Better Way for Job Seekers to Get Hired.

For job seekers, Trove Talent is like having a personal job recruiter working for them 24/7.

Traditional job search sites require a candidate to search through hundreds of job listings and submit their resume through an online portal. Trove Talent constantly scans and categorizes open job positions that best match each person's job abilities, preferences, skills, talents, and compensation requirements.

Should an employer want to interview a top-ranked candidate for a specific job, Trove lets the job seeker know, empowers the job seeker to decide if the job is a good match, and initiate the conversation with the potential employer.

"The current gap for technical talent in the marketplace will grow with 50% of the workforce expected to move into more technical roles," said Kelly Smith, co-founder. "Trove Talent helps firms fill this gap by finding the technical talent that often gets overlooked because of unintended bias. Diversity of thought is critical to the success of any business. Good employers embrace diversity because it leads to new ideas and perspectives. And, despite the strides made at progressive firms to minimize bias in the interview decision process, many hiring and talent acquisition leaders remain frustrated by the fundamental flaws in how talent recruitment works today. This is why we created Trove Talent."

And while Trove's objective isn't as lofty as Google's to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible, it is to help one person at a time to be recognized for their true talents and break through the glass ceiling of discrimination.

About Trove Talent:

Trove Talent helps hiring managers attract a diversity of talent for open job positions and ensure candidates with the skills and talent that best match the specific requirements for available jobs get considered based solely on the talent and potential they offer.

By eliminating bias in recruitment thinking, resume review procedures, and the interview consideration process, Trove Talent's website removes less-qualified candidates from the consideration and helps find better-qualified talent for consideration and selection.

Bellvue Rush Is Bringing the Investment Strategies of the 1 Percent to Everyone

DELRAY BEACH, Fla. -- Bellvue Rush announced today that the options that have only been available to the highest earners must now be made accessible to everyone. The plan is to do so through access to information, as that has only been available to those with the best accountants to date.

When people plan for retirement, most tend to go the standard route of the qualified plan, typically the 401(k). But no savvy investor would consider that the best course of action, as these plans carry the financial risk of the markets in case of collapse, while taxes will be paid on the full plan, including any growth. Furthermore, a qualified plan is full of restrictions, as the funds that can be placed into the plan are limited, the money cannot be touched for a certain period of time without penalty, and at some point, a minimum amount of the funds must be withdrawn.

But there is a better way, and Bellvue Rush wants to ensure that people are aware when planning their financial future. An IGIC (an investment-grade insurance contract) is considered a tax-free event and offers considerable advantages. As a life insurance contract, it enjoys a contractually guaranteed rate of return, therefore enjoying a real advantage over a 401(k), as it will not collapse if the market does. Moreover, an IGIC has significantly fewer restrictions. Perhaps most importantly, when funds are placed into the account, the taxes are taken first, and then the premiums paid, at which point taxes are by and large done.

The account holder is able to then use the funds to make investments, the gains of which are tax-free as they are part of the life insurance policy. Not only can the funds be used to invest without being subject to taxes, but the insurance policy continues to pay the rate of return on the account as if the funds were still in the account. The same money is now generating income from two sources. The IGIC has an additional advantage in that it can make every investment that a 401(k) is able to, as well as some investments that go beyond the scope of a qualified plan.

To learn more visit: https://bellvuerush.com/

About Bellvue Rush:

Bellvue Rush was founded on the principle that people who work hard and do all the right things should have access to the same investment strategies and vehicles as the ultra-wealthy. While many specific investments can do well, without a plan in place the potential is limited. Rather than point investors in one direction or another, Bellevue Rush takes a holistic view of investment, using programs based on foundational tax law in conjunction with federal statutory codes to put investors in the best possible position.

Modern Foot & Ankle Opens New Clinic, Offers Evening Hours In Wesley Chapel

WESLEY CHAPEL, Fla. -- Modern Foot & Ankle is moving on up-to Wesley Chapel. Today the Central Florida podiatric group expands further into Pasco County by launching its eleventh clinic.

Ryan Haaksma, DPM, relocated from Chicago to bring his medical expertise to the group's newest location. He says he is excited to trade in the snow for a warm climate and friendly faces.

"Wesley Chapel is a rapidly growing community with a large family presence," said Dr. Haaksma. "There are a lot of outdoor activities. It's a challenging but rewarding opportunity to use the techniques I've learned to keep everyone walking pain-free."

Dr. Haaksma trained at one of the top orthopedic systems in the Midwest and under some of the most respected foot and ankle surgeons in the country at Rush University Medical Center. There, he learned a wide range of advanced options for conservative treatment and surgical intervention.

Now, by joining Modern Foot & Ankle, Dr. Haaksma has the support to deliver the highest quality care.

"Modern Foot & Ankle provides the infrastructure to allow me to practice with the most up-to-date technology to treat patients efficiently and obtain the best outcomes," he said.

From an early age, Dr. Haaksma knew he wanted to be in medicine. One of his first jobs was as a podiatric assistant.

"At the podiatry office I worked at, I had some wonderful mentors who took me under their wing," he said. "With their guidance, I realized how rewarding and beneficial a career in podiatry could be."

Dr. Haaksma says it's a great feeling of accomplishment to have worked his way from the bottom to the top.

"Besides my beautiful family, it is what I'm most proud of," he added.

The clinic is located in the plaza at 5841 Argerian Dr. in Wesley Chapel. Dr. Haasma offers evening hours because he believes creating an experience based on convenience and ease is a key component of a patient-centric approach, in addition to a welcoming demeanor.

"My greatest strength is listening to my patients and working together to come up with a treatment plan that works best for their goals," he said. "The most rewarding part of being a podiatrist is meeting a patient who's seen multiple providers without ideal results and being able to provide them with the results they've been wanting for years."

Patients who would like to schedule an appointment with Dr. Haaksma can book online at book.mfahealth.com or call 1-844-MODERN9.

About Modern Foot & Ankle(r)

Spodak Dental Group Earns Nationwide Invisalign® Provider’s Highest Honor, VIP: Diamond Plus

DELRAY BEACH, Fla. -- Spodak Dental Group has been named a VIP: Diamond Plus Provider of Invisalign® for 2022, which is the highest honor on the Invisalign® provider rankings.

There are only about 30 general dentists in North America who have earned the VIP: Diamond Plus distinction, and this elite designation is rewarded to those practitioners who provide unparalleled results in terms of treating patients with the best braces alternative system in the world. There are more than 40,000 Invisalign providers in the United States, but only less than 1% of those perform well enough to be named a VIP: Diamond Plus provider.

"It's an amazing honor to earn this coveted distinction, but we are more so excited for our family of patients and partnering with them on their smile journey. We are proud to be able to provide unparalleled dental care and help them achieve the straight and healthy smile of their dreams, all by offering this comfortable, proven and effective teeth-straightening method," said Dr. Craig Spodak, general dentist at Spodak Dental Group.

VIP: Diamond Plus status is the Top 1% status that an Invisalign Provider can earn, as it requires that an office completes 200 cases every six months. The accreditation comes from Invisalign, and it gives a clear indication of an office's experience and expertise working with the Invisalign system. To date, the Spodak Dental Group team has successfully treated more than 2,300 patients.

Spodak Dental Group is the only general dental office to earn the VIP: Diamond Plus status in Palm Beach, Broward and Martin Counties. The team of dentists conveniently offers current and future new patients both Invisalign® Adult and Teen treatments, and provides virtual appointments for those patients who wish to avoid in-office appointments.

Invisalign® effectively treats a wide variety of cases, including crowding, spacing, crossbite, overbite and underbite, and consists of smooth, comfortable plastic aligners instead of sharp metal, reducing irritation on your teeth and gums.

In addition to being a VIP: Diamond Plus Provider, the Spodak Dental Group uses the iTero® Digital Scanning System to provide great quality of care and comfort for their patients. The System eliminates the need for messy putty in the patient's mouth by creating a 3-D digital impression of his/her teeth. The System offers a faster and more comfortable experience with more accurate results, which delivers a more precise fit for the Invisalign® aligners.

Spodak Dental Group is currently helping patients begin their Invisalign® treatment for $0 down and $243 per month for 24 months, interest free. Average treatment time at the Spodak Dental Group is 10 months for adults, which is significantly less than traditional metal braces, in addition to being less expensive than braces.

The Spodak Dental Group, a 2017 Inc. 5000 honoree, has evolved to become South Florida's premier, comprehensive dental facility, and comprises a world-class association of dental professionals poised to provide full-service dental care second-to-none in both scope and skill. The Spodak Dental Group team includes General and Restorative Dentists, Endodontists, Periodontists, Board Certified Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons, Master Ceramic Artists and Anesthesiologists, as well as one of the nation's only in-office dental labs.

Spodak Dental Group is located at 3911 W. Atlantic Ave. Call or text (561) 303-2413 or visit https://www.SpodakDental.com/ for more information or to schedule a virtual or in-office appointment.

"These strategic partners and joint ventures will bring unprecedented horsepower to the E3 brands and their customers. We have now been aligned with very close strategic partners to bring to our customers a new level of products, services, retail products, events, parks, experiences, publications, media, and more," said CEO Brian Johnson.

Thousands Expected to March on DeSantis This Weekend for Reproductive Rights

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. -- Thousands of people this weekend are expected to March on Ron DeSantis, the Capitol and the Supreme Court of Florida, Bans Off Our Bodies Florida announced today. Fed up with the way that the Republican government is treating their rights, they are prepared to show the governor their displeasure with numbers.

What: Thousands to March on Governor's Mansion

When: August 27, 2022

"I think that the consistent insults that come from Tallahassee have worn down the patience of the people of Florida," Laura Lippo, one of the organizers said of the March, "and they are ready to show Ron that attacking our bodily autonomy is the last straw."

"Our main message is that he, and his fellow lawmakers, need to make a declaration, with actions to match, that they will support the people of this state under no uncertain terms by declining all legislation that prevents the right to choose." Laura concluded.

DeSantis has continued to uncharacteristically remain relatively quiet on the subject, only saying that he would, "work to expand pro-life protections." Most political scholars feel this is to avoid the election year controversy that largely favors the opposing view.

The peaceful protest on Saturday is pressuring the governor to make his stand.

"The constitution of Florida states, 'Every natural person has the right to be let alone and free from governmental intrusion into the person's private life'," Emmie Reed, another organizer of the March said, "what we are asking of Ron DeSantis is to enforce our Constitutional rights."

Bans Off Our Bodies Florida is a campaign led by abortion rights supporters. It is a movement for reproductive rights and healthcare with rallies across the state which are intended to send a message loud and clear: All people deserve access to abortions when they need it and in the communities they live in.
