July 26, 2016 – – Future Purchasing, a company located in Surrey, United Kingdom, is now inviting individuals to participate in their 2016/2017 Category Management Survey. In the previous survey, which took place in 2014/2015, the company focused on leading practices which improved Category Management Performance. The new survey will now focus on building business cases for category management.

In regards to the previous survey, Mark Webb, MD, states; “The survey results confirm that Category Management is the foundation of professional Procurement functions, with 75% confirming it as a Top 3 priority in 2015. However, most organizations are still in the early stages of embedding Category Management – with only 5% of respondents describing their Category Management approach as fully ‘optimised’.”

The results of the last survey included opinions from more than 300 people, and Future Purchasing is hoping to see the numbers rise further in the new session, which in turn will see more businesses improve their methods of Category Management, including Procurement Category Management and investing. Mark Webb, MD, has reported that: “Both Leaders and Followers believe that optimising Category Management will deliver additional savings. Leaders expect a 4.1% increase to current levels – increasing total savings to 12.4% and boosting current performance by 49%. Followers have the potential to boost their current 5.9% savings performance by 111%.”

The 2016/2017 survey will take no more than 15-minutes to complete. Participants will input answers to a number of multiple choice questions throughout 7 categories. The survey can be completed anonymously, although those who complete the Future Purchasing Category Management Survey with a valid email address will receive a copy of the completed report before publication of the results are submitted publicly.

For more information on Future Purchasing or the 2016/2017 Category Management Survey, interested parties are directed to the company’s main web page. The company further breaks down the reasons for the survey and its possible outcome on the survey page. Those individuals who complete the survey before the end of July will also be entered into a draw with an iPad mini as the prize. Future Purchasing has been candid in their hopes to see businesses from across the world participate.

July 26, 2016 – – Consumers Comfort Inc., a company based out of Ontario, Cananda, has introduced a Smart Thermostat. Examples of this kind of thermostat are the Nest and Ecobee thermostats, which allow users to control temperatures throughout a house through their mobile or computing device, even when they are away.

One of the major goals of the new Smart Thermostat, as reported by Consumers Comfort Inc., is to cut down on heating costs, and create a more economic option for home owners. Winters in Canada can get quite cold, and knowing that a house is constantly heated, whether empty, or filled with pets, plotted plants, or visiting relatives, is important.

Also called a Wifi Thermostat, the new design is easily maintained through an internet connection, whether the user is at the office, on vacation, or out walking the dog. It also allows for programmable temperature changes, and sends alerts when certain changes occur. Consumers Comfort Inc. writes: “For you to understand the benefits of a wifi thermostat, first you will need to know how these thermostats function. Mainly, a wifi thermostat, also known as a smart thermostat is a programmable thermostat that you can control with any of your mobile or computer device that can access the internet. To that end, this device is the next advancement of cooling and heating power in your house.”

Along with the innovative Wifi connect function, homeowners can manage the Smart Thermostat from any computer, laptop, tablet, or even mobile phone. The app allows users to change temperature controls, and also monitor thermostat usage and efficiency, which provides a unique look at potential ongoing billing, and provides insight into possible methods of saving heat and money. The company explains: “Another benefit is that, over time, the wifi thermostat will learn your habits as the homeowner, and it will be updating the system as it sees fit. Nonetheless, you should keep in mind that you can always adjust this manually. Further, the model can alert you when the temperatures fall and rise out of your programmed temperature ranges. Also, it will provide you with your monthly usage reports.”

For more information on Consumers Comfort Inc. or their new Smart Thermostat, the company invites interested homeowners to visit them online at www.ConsumersComfort.com or contact them directly at 647-660-3500.

July 26, 2016 – – GafferPower.com is proud to announce that it has just added a whole new line of colored gaffer tapes. Gaffer Power manufactures a professional grade of Gaffer Tape that can be used in theaters, television studios or any industry that has a need to secure large cables tightly. The tape is also used for a wide variety of home based applications.

CEO of Webgage Commerce Inc., (owner of the Gaffer Power brand), Marty Gage, comments: “We’re thrilled to add all of these new colors and provide our audience with more options. There is a large demand for colored tape and we intend on adding as many colors as possible.” Fluorescent green is often used in the TV & Film world, particularly when using a green screen on set. The white tape is used for labeling camera gear and markings for actors. There is however, a growing use of gaffer tape outside of the world of entertainment.

“We get calls daily about gaffer tape,” says Marty Gage. “All sorts of questions about its uses, what it can and can not do, what sort of adhesive it is. We’re always amazed at how creative our customers can get with gaffer tape; It’s like no other tape out there.”

Gaffer tape is growing quite popular the past few years, and has recently found its way into pop culture with Kim Kardashian revealing her use of gaffer tape as a ‘cleavage trick’.

“Yeah we got a few calls about that,” Marty Gage says with a smile. “The fact that the tape doesn’t leave any sticky residue and can be easily removed is probably why she uses it. Hey, whatever works I guess.”

While duct tape has taken the center stage for everyday household tape, Gaffer Power hopes that their gaffer tape can dominate the home based consumer.

“We’ll continue to inform, educate and show people what gaffer tape is all about…and maybe one day we can replace duct tape altogether!” says Gage.

Gaffer Power now sells white, electric blue, yellow, red, pink and green fluorescent tape. They can be found on Amazon.com or on their website.

July 26, 2016 – – Charlette’s Web Pest Control is offering termite inspections to homeowners in Spring, Texas, this season, especially with the 2016 update to the Texas Department of Insurance’s Homeowners Insurance information guide. The guide supports the company’s stance on termite inspections, suggesting that most companies won’t cover damage caused by the insects. Charlette herself says: “Termites cause billions of dollars in damage to structures each year. Rarely is the damage covered by homeowner’s insurance. Termites are the most common of the wood destroying pests that we encounter.”

Charlette’s Web Pest Control is licensed to do a Wood Destroying Insect report for Veterans Affairs closings, and other specialized mortgage types. The company also offers same day assistance. The inspection offered by Charlette’s team provides an immediate report, so that homeowners can act quickly to begin treatment on the property if necessary.

Known for their use of Termidor as a pest control product, the pest control company explains their termite control tactic as being efficient both above and below ground. The Termidor product is promoted by the company as the only product which is able to provide 100% eradication, even through USDA concrete slab.

The Texas Department of Insurance offers a list of damages which are covered and not covered by the majority of insurance companies. Charlette’s Web has used this information to prepare their clients to get the most out of their insurance by avoiding termite problems early on. The company proposes that this is a particularly important aspect of real estate sales to investigate during the summer months when termites are especially active.

The termite inspection service offered by Charlette’s Web Pest Control requires no obligation in order to proceed with a report. Inspections are available both for residential and commercial properties, and each plan for termite eradication is designed with the specifics of that building in mind.

For more information on termite insurance coverage probabilities, and termite inspection services offered by Charlette’s, the company invites new and existing homeowners to contact them via phone, or visit the main website. Termite inspection has its own tab on the Charlette’s website, making it easy for potential clients to navigate.

July 26, 2016 – – Superior Ball Screw Repair, LLC, a company based out of Ringgold, GA, has recently rebuilt 2 Steinmeyer ball screws out of a Haas VF11 CNC on X Axis, and they point out that it shows why ball screws are better than lead screws. The announcement was made on the company’s Twitter page, which reports on various other rebuilds, along with contact information for new customers to learn more about how to purchase ball screws, or have ball screws repaired.

The company specializes in ball screw repair and ball screw installation, and has long been an advocate of ball screws over lead screws, and has gone so far as to point out that lead screws are actually less efficient due to the need for higher torque levels and a bigger motor to install. Their high friction rating, has also been noted by the company, as one of the main reasons they don’t suggest clients use them. Because of their various poor qualities lead screws are replaced far more frequently than ball screws, making them a costlier investment in the long run. The company explains: “Ball screws are more costly than lead screws but this is offset by the fact that lead screws have to be replaced more frequently. In addition, leads screws require a bigger motor and drive, thus resulting into higher power costs.”

The latest build of the 2 Steinmeyer ball screws is being used as proof by Superior Ball Screw Repair, LLC that the ball screws are better in terms of quality. Requiring less torque, and being more resistant to friction, they often need fewer repairs, although the company has made it abundantly clear that they are always willing to take on most repair cases as ball screws are regularly fixed and reused rather than tossed away.

For more information on the ball screw services being offered by Superior Ball Screw Repair, LLC, potential customers are invited to check out the company’s official website or contact them via telephone. The site also offers links to various social media platforms where the company subscribes, allowing newcomers to check out up and coming projects and previous builds, such as the Steinmeyer ball screws rebuilt last month.

Dallas, Texas, USA, 07/26/2016 /SubmitPressRelease123/

Whether by handshake or an email that says “It’s a deal,” business owners often get into legal trouble because of a gentleman’s agreement (a.k.a. gentlemen’s agreement).

What is a Gentleman’s Agreement?

“A gentleman’s agreement is an agreement which is not an agreement, made between two people neither of whom are gentlemen, whereby each expects the other to be strictly bound without himself being bound at all.” – Sir Harry Vaisey

Despite Judge Vaisey’s cynical description of such an agreement, most informal deals are entered into in good faith between small business owners who want to get things done without the time and cost of retaining a qualified business lawyer to paper the deal as a legally binding contract.

Donald Trump and the Art of the Handshake Deal

If you’ve read “The Art of the Deal” by Donald Trump or “Trump-Style Negotiation” by The Trump Organization’s senior legal counsel, George H. Ross, you’ll know that Trump will often shake hands on a verbal gentlemen’s agreement with another party.

However, according to Dallas Business Lawyer Mike Young, Trump will then turn the deal over to Attorney Ross or another business lawyer to draft the contract that reflects the terms agreed to between the parties.

Words Have Different Meanings

So what’s wrong with just getting things done without a written contract in place?

Spoken words often have a different meaning to the listener than to the speaker. For example, if you’re buying a shipment of smartphones and tell the supplier that you need them a.s.a.p., you might mean delivery next week. However, the seller could interpret “as soon as possible” to be three months from now when he gets his next shipment from China.

Memories Fade

As pointed out by successful entrepreneur and author Harvey Mackay, “[p]ale ink is better than the most retentive memory.”

July 26, 2016 – – LipsigLawyers.com summarizes a local news story by the Marietta Times about the death of a West Virginia worker in Preston County while working on the installation of a water treatment system. The victim was a 38-year old from Strange Creek located in northern West Virginia. He died from injuries sustained during a ditch cave-in at a worksite that was part of a bond reclamation project commissioned by the DEP’s Office of Special Reclamation at the former Decondor Coal site.

Attorney Thomas Moverman of Lipsig, Shapey, Manus, & Moverman extended his condolences to the family of the man that lost his life on the job. He is hopeful that this accident will highlight the need for strengthened rules and regulations for the construction industry in the United States. He also stated that the number of construction accidents has greatly increased with no real sign of abating.

The Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA) is a federal agency tasked with the oversight of the health and safety of over 130 million workers in the United States. Despite the importance of the agency’s mission, it is, unfortunately, significantly understaffed with only 2,200 inspectors. Each inspector is responsible for ensuring the safety of 59,000 workers.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) has indicated in a report that in 2014 alone, 4,281 workers were killed while working on the job. Of this number of fatalities, 899 workers were in the construction industry which translates into over 20 percent of the total number of work-related deaths that occurred in 2014.

Lipsig, Shapey, Manus & Moverman have been representing victims of construction accidents for years. In one case, Attorney Thomas Moverman won a victim $2.6 million for a worker who injured his knee and back in a fall from defective scaffolding. The firm has successfully obtained millions in settlements for those victims and strongly believes in fighting for the compensation victims need and deserve. Lipsig, Shapey, Manus & Moverman is currently looking to assist those individuals who have been injured in a construction accident and qualifying individuals may be entitled to financial compensation.

For more information on construction injuries, or for a consultation, contact an attorney with Lipsig, Shapey, Manus & Moverman at (646)-846-4496.
