September 26, 2019 – – The Stamford American International School Of Singapore, one of the leading international schools in the country, recently celebrated the accomplishments of their 2019 Graduating Class. The Stamford American International School is known for being a non-selective and inclusive school that provides their students the flexibility to tailor their graduation pathway to suit their interests. To celebrate this occasion, the school has shared the success of their students, bidding farewell as they embark on this new stage of their lives.

Their 2019 graduating class is their fourth cohort, and the largest of the school’s history, consisting of 124 students. Aside from being the largest, it is also the most successful cohort so far. Each student graduated with a US High School Diploma, though they also had the opportunity to pursue an International Baccalaureate (IB) or Advanced Placement (AP) Diploma—the only school in Singapore to offer this option. Of this year’s graduating class, 93 students participated in the IB program, a significant increase from 59 students in 2018.

The graduates have achieved fantastic IB results, with a pass rate of 90% on the IB exams and an average score of 31, surpassing the world average of 29.8. Another achievement worth noting is the fact that the graduates have also excelled in AP results, averaging an outstanding 3.58 points out of a potential 5 points, which is also above the world average of 3.19.

The cohort represented 38 nationalities, out of the 75 that make up the wider Stamford community. The school has also lived up to their reputation for being a truly international and diverse community, in which 13% of their students are being awarded an IB Bilingual Diploma this year. This is also indicative of the robust development of their overall language program.

In addition to these outstanding achievements, the school takes the utmost pride in the wide variety of opportunities that they provide their students. According to the school, also known as SAIS, allowing their pupils to make important decisions regarding their own future is the most effective way to encourage them to find both their passions and the subjects they excel in. These efforts have continued to bear fruit as, to date, 90% of the year’s students applying to universities were accepted to their first or second choice of university. An outstanding 77% of this category were accepted at their first choice university, demonstrating that Stamford students continue to attend top universities and colleges all around the world. These statistics also reflect the excellence of the tutoring methods and unique approaches used at SAIS.

Jordan, President of the National Honor Society, Captain of the U19 Varsity Cross Country Team, creator of The Stamford Journal, and full IB Diploma Programme student, praises the teachers for the support he received. “Having a supportive environment to develop it has been invaluable and has helped form the connections I have made today—and ones that I will carry on past high school. I felt support in everything I wanted to pursue,” says Jordan, who will be attending McGill University in Canada and doing a Double Major in Finance and Managing for Sustainability.

Owen, originally from South Korea, is also a full IBDP student who achieved 40 points in his IB exams and will be studying Biomedical Sciences at the University of Hong Kong. Owen credits his teachers’ endless support and encouragement as a crucial factor behind him attaining his goals.

Class 2019 graduate Miki from Japan chose to do the IBDP, inspired by the guidance of the IB teachers at Stamford. She says, “As my preferred university course didn’t have specific subject requirements, I was able to be flexible in my subject choices, and so selected subjects I was passionate about. I am happy that I chose to study IB Visual Arts as it trained me to be philosophical and analytical, which I think are important life skills. Throughout the course, I compared various socio-cultural and socio-political artworks, which allowed me to be an open-minded thinker. I was also fortunate to be able to complete Language A and Language B subjects at Higher Level, which made me a more attractive, multi-lingual candidate to universities.”

More information about the Stamford American International School Singapore can be found on their website, where anyone interested in becoming a student at the school can also find the contact details of the admissions office. Interested parties may also contact Noelle Teoh of Stamford American International School Singapore to follow up on any further inquiries.

September 26, 2019 – – Richard Killen & Associates, a Licensed Insolvency Trustee based in Scarborough, Ontario, has published a new article regarding the use of Consumer Proposals and how they may be employed to their full potential. The firm has been serving local communities since 1992, and has subsequently earned a distinguished reputation for their thoughtfulness and commitment. They have helped thousands of individuals solve their financial problems, guiding members of the community through various challenges they have encountered over the years.

Their most recent article, “Consumer Proposals in Toronto,” thoroughly explains how such proposals work, and how interested parties may use them as a method to overcome issues with debt. The first topic discussed in the article is the definition of Customer Proposals. The firm describes this as an offer made by an Insolvent Person who seeks a solution to their debt problems. These offers are made through a Licensed Insolvency Trustee and are characterized for benefiting both parties involved, while providing a solution for the debtor.

While Consumer Proposals had been used in the past, they were too inconvenient and complicated to be used by the average debtor. As a result, they were mostly employed by businesses and corporates to settle their debts in a way that benefitted both parties. They were first introduced as a viable option for the private individual following changes in the Canadian Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act in 1992.

Since then, while people still saw bankruptcy as the sole option to fight debt, Consumer Proposals began to quickly rise in acceptance as word of their various benefits began to spread. These benefits include the fact that debtors do not offer all their property to the trustee for the general benefit of their creditors. Instead, the debtor offers money to their creditors, with terms that they can practically fulfill.

Sarah Twomey, a representative of Richard Killen & Associates, explains, “The new monthly payments will be significantly more accessible to the debtor, ensuring that they can meet them without a problem. For example, if the debtor had to pay $1,000.00 in total per month to several different creditors, the new terms could be $500.00 per month—or even significantly less—with a Consumer Proposal. Since the established limit for the terms of a Consumer Proposal is five years, this would limit the debtor’s payment to $30,000 over 60 different payments. You can see how this can be beneficial, especially considering that you are not giving up your properties.”

In their video “Let’s Talk About Consumer Proposals Again,” the firm further describes the benefits of this useful alternative to bankruptcy. The video can be accessed here: Consumer Proposals Explained.

The firm’s services are not limited to intermediating Consumer Proposals, as they also offer Bankruptcy Solutions and Debt Counselling. All of these services are performed by qualified individuals with several years of experience in the field. They are familiar with the myriad opportunities that their clients have available at any given time and know the best routes to overcome the challenges that they encounter.

The office’s expertise is attested through the various success stories that they share with their clients. They have several testimonials from clients who found a solution to their predicaments through the services provided by Richard Killen & Associates. Through their website, the firm showcases several of these testimonials. One customer says, “Dear Mr. Killen, I would like to take this opportunity to thank you and your staff for their understanding of my situation when I first approached your office and, also, I could not believe the kindness and courtesy shown to me throughout my ordeal. It is not often in this day and age that you come upon people such as yourself and your staff who make you feel comfortable in a situation like this, rather than what I expected to feel: uncomfortable. Thank you once again for helping me through a bad situation.”

The company’s website includes more information on the services provided by Richard Killen & Associates, including contact information for those in need of a Customer Proposal. Learn more here: https://rkillen.ca/free-report-video/.

September 26, 2019 – – A new Home Pregnancy Test has been announced by home health care equipment company iProven, adding to their line of home health care equipment including a large selection of thermometers and blood pressure monitors. These pregnancy tests are available on Amazon UK. Health equipment made by iProven is FDA Approved, CE Certified, and comes with after sales support.

The new product being sold by iProven, the hCG midstream pregnancy test, is a perfect addition to any fertility kit, as it includes both hCG and LH test strips and is designed with mommies-to-be in mind. The hCG strips test for hCG, often known as the “pregnancy hormone”, because it is produced by cells of the placenta which nourishes the growing fertilized egg. Levels of hCG generally double every 72 hours for the first 8 to 11 weeks of pregnancy, and can be detected by urine tests around 2 weeks after conception. The LH test strips test for LH, or luteinizing hormone, which is produced by the pituitary gland and affects the gonads in men and women. It’s related to reproduction, and levels in the blood increase when a woman ovulates, or releases an egg into her uterus. Luteinizing hormone is also important in puberty, and can be a sign of early or late puberty or a signal of troubles therein.

The pregnancy test being announced, iProven’s FMH-139 5pack, is 99% accurate if the test is performed on the first day of the cycle – the day when menstruation would normally begin.The test works by detecting levels of the pregnancy hormone hCD, which is produced during pregnancy. The test can detect extremely small amounts of hCG in urine, and will give a positive result if it detects at least 25mIU/ml hCG in the tested urine. A positive result means the person taking the test is pregnant, and they should carry on seeking appropriate medical care and preparing for the incoming baby.

To use the test, a person first can take advantage of iProven’s special pregnancy test cap design. The pink cap covering the test strip fits perfectly on the other end of the test, extending the length of the test and allowing the person who is taking the pregnancy test to make less of a mess and keep their hands clean during the testing process. Once the cap has been moved to the opposite end of the test, the test strip end is held in a stream of the potentially pregnant person’s urine for 10 seconds. The test takes 3 to 5 minutes to develop, and has worked if there is a control line on the right side of the window. If there is no visible control line on the right side of the window, the test has not worked and a new test should be used. If there is a control line and no other line, the person who has taken the test is not pregnant. If two lines appear, regardless of how dark or light they are, the test result is positive, and the person in question is pregnant and will, if all goes well, be producing a tiny human over the next 9 months.

The hCG Pregnancy Home Test made by iProven can be purchased on Amazon UK. The company is passionate about developing high quality products that can be operated by any home user, and they are committed to providing the best tailored education to go along with their products and how they are supposed to be used. They want to help their customers be more health aware and get the most information and use out of their products. As such, their products are selected, developed and improved to meet their own standards of quality, durability and consistency while still maintaining ease of use to help the home user. They also want feedback from all of their customers on issues or questions about the products or recommendations for future products.

September 26, 2019 – – At-home medical equipment company iProven has developed a new product to add to their family of at home medical care equipment. This product, the hCG Pregnancy Home Test is 99% accurate when taken on the day that the next period would be expected to start after the necessary conditions have been met for the creation of a pregnancy. It is an excellent addition to any couple’s fertility or family planning kit, and can be purchased on Amazon UK.

Home health company iProven is dedicated to providing products that are excellent quality and easy to use, and to having excellent educational materials alongside the products so customers have no questions about how the products are to be used. The company wants customers to get all the information and use out of their products that they are able to and need, and, to this end, develop and improve their products to meet durability and consistency standards set by the company on behalf of their customers. In addition to this test kit, iProven sells a number of thermometers, blood pressure meters, and other health care monitoring devices for home use, and are FDA Approved, and CE Certified.

iProven provides instructions for using this pregnancy test which highlight the benefits of their pregnancy test design. The test is designed to be extendable, so the pink cap covering the test strip end can be clicked onto the other end of the test so the person taking the test stays cleaner and avoids getting urine on their hands while holding the test strip in their urine stream. Additionally, iProven’s pregnancy test is 99% accurate when used on the first day of the menstrual cycle.

To use the test, simply unwrap the packaging, remove the cap, place it on the other end of the test to extend the test, and hold the test strip in the urine stream for approximately 10 seconds. After 3 to 5 minutes, the test will show a control line on the right side of the results window, and may have a second line visible in the window. If the second line is present, the test is positive, and the test taker is, indeed, pregnant. iProven’s FMH-139 5pack comes with 5 test strips, to allow for double and triple checking of potential pregnancies before deciding how to react.

A uterus-having human becomes pregnant when an egg, which has been released from the ovaries into the uterus through the fallopian tubes, encounters a sperm which has been pulled into the uterus. Once the egg is fertilized and has found a home in the uterus, the placenta cells, which nourish the growing embryo, begin producing hCG, the pregnancy hormone. This is the hormone that pregnancy tests from iProven and other companies test for. The levels of hCG in the bloodstream increase rapidly for the first two months of pregnancy, doubling every 48 to 72 hours. Urine tests, such as the FMH-139 hCG home pregnancy test from iProven, are able to detect hCG around 2 weeks after conception. The iProven pregnancy test will test positive and show two lines in the results window if the urine tested contains at least 25mIU/ml hCG. A positive result indicates that a pregnancy has occurred and appropriate precautions should be taken.

The pregnancy tests also contain LH test strips, which test for luteinizing hormone, a hormone that stimulates the ovaries in estrogen-dominant bodies. This hormone is responsible for ovulation, and therefore is at increased levels after ovulation has occurred, whether or not it results in conception. Luteinizing hormone is also responsible for many of the changes that happen during puberty, raised or lowered LH levels can be an indication of an early or late puberty.

Potential customers with any questions about this product or other products provided by iProven should contact the company. iProven also seeks input from customers on feedback or recommendations based on their products. Contact information and more about iProven’s products are available on their website.

September 26, 2019 – – A new pregnancy test has been developed and announced by home use medical care equipment company iProven, adding to their line of medical devices to use at home, including a variety of thermometers and blood pressure meters. The new test is 99% accurate when used on day 1 of the menstrual cycle, the day that menstruation would have been expected to occur.

The hCG midstream pregnancy tests work by testing for levels of hCG, or the Pregnancy Hormone, in the user’s urine stream. Since home pregnancy tests are often a messy process, thanks to their need for proximity to the urine stream, iProven has developed a simple innovation which can hopefully help users keep their hands clean during the testing process. This innovation is a pink cap which fits snugly on both ends of the test, allowing it to be used to extend the length of the pregnancy test after the testing end has been uncovered, so the hands are further from the urine stream and any inevitable splattering is less likely to end up on unwanted body parts. This innovation is an excellent way of helping women’s experience with their home pregnancy tests to be an all around better and more satisfying one than that of some of the competition.

The hCG Pregnancy Home Test detects hCG in urine, which is generally detectable two weeks after conception has occurred. The pregnancy hormone is produced by the cells of the placenta which nourish the growing embryo, and is detectable in the blood of the pregnant person slightly before it is detectable in the urine. This is because the levels of hCG in the blood double approximately every 48-72 hours for the first bit of pregnancy, eventually leveling off and reaching a plateau for the duration of the pregnancy. The urine test will display a positive result if hCG levels are above 25mIU/ml in the urine – hCG levels above this level are an almost sure sign that the user is pregnant.

To test for pregnancy with iProven’s home pregnancy test, simply remove the pink cap from the testing end, click it onto the non-testing end to extend the length of the test and reduce the mess, and then hold the test in the middle of the stream of urine for approximately 10 seconds. After 3 to 5 minutes, the test will be fully developed, indicated by a control line on the right side of the results window. The control line indicates that the test is finished developing and has worked as expected. If a second line is visible, the test result is positive and the test taker is pregnant. In case a second, third, or fourth check is desired, the FMH-139 5pack pregnancy test comes with 5 test strips.

The company releasing these pregnancy tests, iProven, is passionate about providing the highest quality products they can find. They also want to provide educational materials alongside these products to ensure that customers understand their use and are able to take advantage of all of iProven’s products to take control of their health and optimize a home health care regimen. The company sets quality standards for their products, including durability, consistency, and usability standards, which allow them to guarantee that their products are as good as they want them to be. They also have sought FDA approval and CE certification for many of their products.

The home pregnancy tests made by iProven are available on Amazon UK, among other retail outlets. In addition to hCG strips, they also contain test strips for luteinizing hormone, or LH, which is important for the process of ovulation and is generally at higher levels when ovulation has occurred. Ovulation is a necessary step for a pregnancy to begin, so this is a useful test for individuals who are looking to get pregnant or checking if they are pregnant.

September 26, 2019 – – Home medical care company iProven has announced new Ovulation Test Strips to test for fertility. Rather than being fertile all the time, the body is only able to become pregnant from intercourse had during a few days of the menstrual cycle. These days are the days leading up to and including the day that ovulation occurs. If the egg does not meet up with a sperm after being released into the uterus, it is discarded as a part of the menstruation process. If a sperm enters the uterus too soon, it will die before ovulation and never get the chance to come in contact with an egg. Thus, there is a small window when pregnancy can occur. On average, this window is around four days. When a person wants (or wants to avoid) a baby, knowing when these days are is incredibly useful information.

Among many methods for determining when these days are is testing urine for luteinizing hormone, or LH. Luteinizing hormone has a variety of purposes in different bodies depending on gender and age. For women of childbearing age, luteinizing hormone prompts ovulation, meaning that, in the days when ovulation is about to occur and is occurring, the levels of LH in the blood and urine are rapidly increasing. The iProven FL-50 test strips are 99% accurate at determining luteinizing hormone levels in a similar way to the standard pregnancy test. To use the test, the user must collect some urine in a clean and dry container, dip the testing end of the test strip into the urine for a few seconds, and then wait for 3-5 minutes for results to appear. This set of instructions is known as a collect – dip – see procedure.

When the test has finished developing and the results are displayed, there will be a control line to show that the test has worked. There may also be a second line, indicating that the body’s luteinizing hormone levels are above a certain level. This does not necessarily mean that the test taker is ovulating. Rather, iProven recommends testing twice a day at consistent times and watching the second line for changes. Every body is different, so some people have a second line, indicating elevated LH levels, always and not just during ovulation. However, the intensity of the second line increases as LH levels increase in preparation for ovulation. Others only ever see a faint second line when they are approaching ovulation. Regardless, regular testing with LH Strips and watching for changes in the result lines can allow a woman to be more in tune with the cycles of her body, to know when she’s ovulating, and thus to know when the optimal time for intercourse is to have or avoid having a baby.

The LH test strip fertility kit sold by iProven comes with 50 test strips, enough to allow for plenty of testing over multiple cycles, and also contains 2 free hCG test strips for testing for pregnancy. The result of the hCG test strips is 99% accurate at predicting pregnancy when used on the first day of the expected next period. These strips follow a similar testing strategy to the LH test strips, and will show one line for no pregnancy, two lines for a pregnancy.

iProven is excited to add home LH testing strips to their line of home health care products, which include a variety of thermometers, blood pressure meters, and other body tracking devices. They are dedicated to providing the best quality products to help their customers have good health, and reviews on the company website are generally positive. One reviewer, Megan, says, “After 3 years of infertility these ovulation tests are the only ones to actually detect my LH surge. They give very detailed directions on how and when to test and the reasoning behind this. I am so grateful for these tests and you really get a lot of strips for a great value. It also comes with 2 pregnancy tests which is great because everything you need is in one box.”

Anyone looking to have a baby or have a better idea of how to not have a baby can have their goals assisted by iProven’s new ovulation test strips.

September 26, 2019 – – There is a new product in iProven’s line of home health care and fertility equipment. The company’s selection now includes LH strips to test for Luteinizing Hormone, or LH, as a sign of fertility. Luteinizing hormone stimulates ovulation, so the levels of the hormone in the body in the days leading up to ovulation show a dramatic increase. Since conception is only able to occur in the few days leading up to ovulation and the day of ovulation, testing for Luteinizing Hormone and tracking the changes in Luteinizing Hormone levels is an excellent way to determine when a conception is possible. This can help both people who are trying to and trying not to have a baby by giving them an indication of when they should have or avoid potentially babymaking activities.

The test strips from iProven follow a collect – dip – see procedure, similar to that of pregnancy tests, which involves collecting urine, dipping the end of the strip into the collected urine for up to 10 seconds, and then seeing the results in 3-5 minutes. The iProven FL-50 test strips have a results window, which displays a control line to show if the test worked. Next to the control line, there may be another line, which indicates if LH levels exceed the amount detectable by the test. A darker line means more Luteinizing Hormone, a fainter line means less LH. Because all bodies are different, the presence of a second line isn’t enough to determine if ovulation is about to occur. Rather, a person should test over time – iProven recommends twice a day – and wait for a surge in LH levels, indicated by a line which wasn’t before present or a much darker line. Some women will have an obvious second line at all times, other women will only have a very faint second line when their LH levels are elevated for ovulation. This surge is what prompts the beginning of the ovulation process, and indicates that a person is approaching a fertile window. For most women, there is a period of only 4 days per cycle when she’ll be able to get pregnant.

Tracking the menstrual cycle through products like iProven’s LH test strips can help a woman get back in touch with her body and gain a better understanding of how her fertility works. These strips are a great tool in any natural family planning playbook, along with pregnancy tests and other parts of iProven’s fertility health collection. Understanding the rhythms of one’s own cycle can be helpful to anyone both looking to have a child or looking to avoid pregnancy naturally. Regardless of whether someone has just started trying to conceive or they’ve been on their conception journey for a while, iProven is ready to help with their test strips.

The iProven test strips are 99% accurate, maintaining the dedication to quality that the company prides itself on. The company has an extensive line of home health care and monitoring products, including thermometers and blood pressure meters. The new Ovulation Test Strips are part of a family of fertility and natural family planning products designed to aid anyone trying to conceive. The FL-50 test kit contains 50 strips, allowing for testing over multiple menstrual cycles for best results. The test also comes with 2 bonus pregnancy tests, also made by iProven, which work by testing for levels of hCG and are 99% effective when used at the start of a new cycle.

Customers appear to think highly of iProven’s ovulation tests. One review on their website says, “Excellent tool when trying to get pregnant. Cute box and convenient individual tests. I like that it comes with individually packaged tests that are small enough to take with you on a trip without having to take the entire kit. The instructions were very clear and detailed and easy to understand.” This review shows the results of iProven’s committment to high quality, consistent and durable products.

September 26, 2019 – – iProven, a business based in Dordrecht, The Netherlands, has announced that their newest rectal digital thermometer for babies is the DTR-1221 BLU. This thermometer for babies is a must-have for mommies who are expecting or have a new baby. Not only does it provide baby temperature measurements fast, but it also has a fever indicator in the form of emojis so that parents will know immediately if the baby requires medical attention. And with its flexible tip, mommies need not worry about hurting their little one while using it.

Suzanne, a representative for iProven, says, “Here, at iProven, we know what it’s like to worry about your little ones during flu season. Sleepless nights, runny noses, feverish foreheads. In times like these, you need a thermometer you can trust. That’s why we developed the DTR-1221P BLU. Fast, accurate, and reliable. Our digital medical thermometer will give you accurate readings time after time.”

A key benefit provided by the DTR-1221P BLU medical thermometer for babies is that it is consistent and accurate. This is because it has been extensively tested so that parents can always be assured that the temperature measurement is reliable.

Suzanne says, “Before you start measuring, just make sure that your thermometer is clean. And when you take the temperature of the baby, simply bend the baby’s legs to his or her chest, and insert the thermometer. Simply wait for the beep, which takes around 10 seconds, and the reading is done. To ensure that the DTR-1221P BLU is always clean and ready for use, make sure to clean the tip after every use.”

Those who have already tried this baby thermometer have mostly positive things to say about it. For instance, Tabitha gave the product a five star rating and said, “My husband is new to parenting. I have an older son and we now have a baby. He doesn’t know what temperature is considered a fever, but the emoticons make it simple enough to use even he understands. The bright pink is easy to see when you’re searching for a thermometer in the middle of the night. Overall, great product.”

This medical thermometer for babies is designed for rectal use because it is the doctor’s recommended method of taking a baby’s temperature. And there is nothing to worry about because it is easy to clean and disinfect with the tip being waterproof.

And it is easy for the person using the thermometer to determine if the baby has a fever and needs medical attention. On the left side of the display are three kinds of emojis. When the baby’s temperature is taken, an arrow on the left of the display will also appear and point to a particular emoji. If the arrow points to the frowning emoji, the baby has a fever. But if it is pointing to the smiling emoji, the baby’s temperature is normal and there’s nothing to worry about.

And there’s nothing to worry about when taking the temperature of babies who can’t seem to keep still, which is quite often the case. This digital baby thermometer only requires 10 seconds to provide an accurate reading, And the tip is flexible, so there’s also no need to worry about hurting the baby when inserting the rectal thermometer to take the baby’s temperature.

Mommies and daddies can have peace of mind when using the DTR-1221P BLU digital thermometer. The readings are assured to be accurate and the fever indicator makes it very simple and easy to use. After using it, parents simply need to clean and disinfect it and they can keep it in their drawer, ready for the next time they will need it.

iProven develops products that can be conveniently used in the home, especially those products that can help family members get certain information about their health, such as medical thermometers. People who want to learn more about the DTR-1221P BLU rectal baby thermometer or other products can check out the iProven website or their page or Amazon, or contact them through the telephone or via email.

September 26, 2019 – – Great Paper Straws, a company that manufactures Astraws® brand paper straws, is pleased to announce that they will be competing at StartUp MHK, an entrepreneurial competition in Manhattan, Kansas. The competition is held every fall, and invites competitors to pitch their businesses and ideas to a panel of qualified and connected judges to compete for the chance to win cash prizes while also making connections in the business world through the exposure the event grants. The event will help many small businesses find their feet and grow, as it has for the past few years.

This year, the competition will be slightly different. Instead of a first, second, and third place winner, prize money will be awarded to winners in one of three categories. The categories are Tech, Non-Tech, and People’s Choice. The Tech category will include products or software that provide technological advancement or services that benefit the world of technology. Non-Tech entries includes products, goods, or services that would be considered non-technical. The People’s Choice category winner will be decided by how well received the pitch is by the audience.

Great Paper Straws will be at the event pitching their paper straws. “We have a big problem. It’s plastic waste,” says Great Paper Straws. “We generate enough plastic waste every year to fill landfills and oceans. Soon, our oceans will have more plastic than fish. Plastic takes centuries to break down. When it does, it breaks down into micro plastics which get then get into our food supply. We then eat it.”

They continued, saying, “Is recycling the answer? No. No one wants the plastic. No one wants to buy it or recycle it. So we end up burying plastic that well-intended consumers thought would be recycled. Instead, we think the answer is to reduce, then eliminate single-use plastic all together. That’s what we’ve done, one great paper straw at a time.”

Paper straws have earned a bad reputation, due to a majority of suppliers producing flimsy, almost unusable paper straws. McDonald’s introduced paper straws in the UK and they were very poorly received due to the flimsy design they incorporated. Both consumers and media outlets were unhappy with the straws, and paper straws have since come to be known for falling apart very quickly when placed in any liquid. Great Paper Straws aims to produce sturdier, more reliable paper straws. As a Marriott representative said recently, “While there is no shortage of paper straws, there is a shortage of quality paper straws that last long without falling apart in your drink.” Great Paper Straws wants to be one of the few companies supplying high quality paper straws across the United States. Read more about the company’s products here: Paper Straws Wholesale.

It has been estimated that Americans use 550 million straws each day and, with the growing need for more environmentally friendly options, many companies will find themselves in need of paper straws to fill the void left by plastic straws. The paper straw market is expected to grow at more than 10% compounded annual growth over the next five years. Great Paper Straws’ straws, notably, stand out from their peers because they are water resistant. Being water resistant means the straws last longer while also using less material. Crucially, they are 100% biodegradable, compostable, and recyclable.

The fact that Great Paper Straws’ paper straws are made in the USA means that there are no extra costs or tariffs. “Our paper drinking straws are proudly made in the USA, in Manhattan, KS, to be precise,” says the company. “If you have been searching for a sturdy premium paper straw that won’t fall apart in your lips or in your drink, then our Astraws® brand drinking straws are for you.”

With many cities, states, and countries taking steps to eliminate single use plastic, plastic straws are next, so it may be time to consider switching to more environmentally friendly options.

September 26, 2019 – – Agape Turf, based in Phoenix, Arizona, is pleased to acknowledge the praise that they have received from the community, who continues to attest to the company’s excellence in online reviews. The company specializes in the installation and care of artificial turf, helping the community keep their properties in good shape. In addition to their Phoenix location, they offer their services to the Glendale and Peoria communities.

Agape Turf has been offering their services across the state of Arizona since their founding in 2013. The communities they have assisted have since repaid this commitment with unconditional support, marking the local contractors out as one of the best-rated companies in the area. On Yelp, the company has achieved an outstanding review rating of 4/5 Stars, hosting several comments that vouch for their exemplary services.

“It fills us with joy and excitement to receive so much praise from the community,” states Matt Walters, a spokesperson for Agape Turf. “The satisfaction of our clients has always been our foremost priority and it is our duty to execute their requests to the best of our ability. To be praised like this is certainly flattering. We will strive to continue providing a praise-worthy service that surpasses the expectations of our future customers.”

In one of the most recent reviews of Agape Turf’s services, Douglas H. describes his experience with the company, saying, “I recently had Agape Turf install turf in my backyard. They did an excellent job and were very professional, from the first meeting until the job was completed. Agape helped me with the decision regarding which turf to use for my needs, and met all timelines to install them perfectly.”

Agape Turf boasts multiple reviews of this nature, where their clients note that the company does indeed take every measure to provide outstanding customer services. Their attention to detail is complemented by the use of premium products that allow the company to ensure the best results and fulfill their client’s requests adequately. Additionally, the company’s prices are among the most competitive on the market, and they take pride in the transparency of the quotes they offer and their reliability.

Walter states, “We aim to be as straightforward with our clients as possible. Our quotes are provided completely free of charge and are clearly explained. What this means for you is that there will be no hidden fees or last-minute expenses with us. We lay the price of our services out clearly and let you decide whether or not it is worth it, given our expertise and our company’s history.” More information on the company and the turf-related services they provide can be found at the following link: Turf Companies Peoria AZ.

Another review written by Ashley L., through Yelp, says, “I am so thrilled with the work done by Agape Turf! I met with Chuck back in July and had to put the project on hold for a couple of months, and everyone was so great working with me! Devin, Luis, and Chuck made the whole process so easy and our yard looks great! We also got multiple quotes and Agape was by far the most reasonable, and were able to do exactly what we wanted!”

The turf grasses that the local contractors sell are one of the best options available when it comes to improving the look of a property, given that they are both durable and aesthetically pleasing. When compared to the maintenance costs of natural grass, their artificial material is a more cost-effective solution that will only require sporadic care.

Walter states, “The installation of artificial grass will increase the amount of outdoor time you have. You will not have to spend your free time watering, mowing or edging. That also means there will be no more need to fertilize the lawn or clean up dirt and debris you tracked into your home.”

The company also notes that their turf is pet-friendly, lead-free, and protected against UV rays to ensure longevity. The company further offers an industry-leading 15-year limited warranty on all of their artificial products, reassuring their clients that they are purchasing a long-lasting material.

Agape Turf’s official website includes more information on the services and products they offer. Additionally, the company invites interested parties to visit the Agape Turf AZ BBB page, where they can look up past customer reviews and read more about the company’s qualifications.
