The new consumer report, called ‘Contemporary Blinds – Why It’s Time to Upgrade Your Window Treatments’, has been developed by Shuttercraft’s experienced interior design team and is recommended reading for any homeowner considering changing or upgrading their window treatments. Shuttercraft believes that the contemporary blind is a functional and stylish choice that makes a worthy investment for any homeowner.

More information is available at https://www.shuttercraft.co.uk/blog/blinds/contemporary-blinds-upgrade-window-treatments/

Their new consumer report on contemporary blinds has been released following a recent article on Better Homes and Gardens, which named classic, minimalist and elegant blinds and shades as one of the top looks in windows for 2023, with pleated, panel and roller blinds all particularly recommended.

As the new report explains, the blinds, shutters, and window treatment fitters recommend contemporary blinds for their insulation properties, which can help homeowners save on power bills, especially in summer and winter. They also recommend blinds as a privacy choice and for their kerb appeal.

Compared to shutters, which are also particularly popular in current home design trends, Shuttercraft suggests blinds can be used to create more room layout options as they often sit entirely within a window frame, requiring no extra space. Their report states that contemporary blinds also come in waterproof options for kitchens, bathrooms and laundries.

As Shuttercraft’s blinds are made-to-measure, they can offer their clients custom solutions with an array of natural wood hues, fabrics, patterns and styles available. The blinds fitters even have a new ‘Any Colour & Digital Print’ option available to clients who want a fully personalised look for their contemporary blinds that will match their existing interior design style.

Shuttercraft recommends homeowners consult their new online contemporary blinds consumer report and then get in touch with one of their design experts to talk about how to upgrade their home window treatments.

A spokesperson for the window treatment fitters said, “Contemporary blinds can transform your home–in more ways than one. If you’d like more information on the styles that could work on your property, we’ve got all the information you need.”

Shuttercraft believes that with shutters, whether they are plantation, full-height, tier-on-tier or cafe style, white is always timeless. However, when it comes to choosing the right white, there are several complexities involved. That’s why Shuttercraft has released a new style advice report, ‘White Shutters For Windows – 5 Tips To Help You Choose’, that focuses on the main points that any homeowner should consider before selecting white shutters for their home.

More information is available at https://www.shuttercraft.co.uk/blog/tips/selecting-white-shutters-for-windows/

Although Shuttercraft believes white is the most timeless shade for home decor, they also know that in 2023 it is particularly in-fashion. As a recent article on House Beautiful described, “white is the key to individual style” in 2023, with both warm and cool neutrals taking the top colour trends for the year.

Shuttercraft’s design team is also having a white moment in 2023, and they agree that in addition to being crisp, clean and visually attractive, white is the most versatile shade. However, as their new style report explains, not all whites are alike. As such, homeowners who are thinking about getting white shutters will need to think about both the interior and exterior shades that are already featured in their home–including other whites–that their new shutters will need to either harmonise or artfully contrast with.

Accordingly, Shuttercraft is proud to announce that they also have 30 new paint colours for their window shutters, including a vast selection of new whites they recommend for their light, airy quality, timelessness and understated elegance. Some of the new white and neutral shades the blinds and shutters experts are featuring include Bright White, Aura White, Chalk White, Cotswold White, Dover White, and Decorator’s White.

In addition to selecting the right white, the made-to-measure shutter fitters’ new report also covers style and function essentials and gives readers tips on how shutters can best offer privacy, security, light control and insulation. Shuttercraft’s report also suggests that white shutters, given their versatility, can be used in unique ways, including as room dividers or as wardrobes or cupboards.

Shuttercraft has local branches throughout the United Kingdom. Their in-person and online design personnel can help homeowners select the white window shutters that will best meet their practical and design needs.

A spokesperson for the window treatments experts said, “We offer different white tones on many of our products and we also offer some colours that are very close to white because the right white for you will depend on your room design and your unique tastes. Don’t settle for a ‘standard’ white – find the perfect white shutters for you with Shuttercraft.”

The company now has a deeper pool of Latin American software developers who specialize in AWS, Azure, Git, GitLab, Bitbucket, Jira, and other DevOps or cloud-based fields. Engineers can be engaged to augment an existing capability, or as part of a new team, and work in the same time zone as US-based companies.

More details can be found at https://parallelstaff.com/nearshore-staff-augmentation

The recent update builds on ParallelStaff’s successful nearshore staffing solution, which combines the cost-efficiencies of traditional outsourcing with a greater focus on quality. The firm states that the service is ideal for organizations that are facing budgetary and time constraints, such as startups, software companies, and those involved in prototyping.

Tech talent shortages have driven up the cost of hiring suitably qualified staff, as well as increasing the time it takes to find high-quality candidates. While organizations of all sizes are reporting challenges, the impacts are more acute for small businesses or those with limited financial resources, such as startups.

ParallelStaff developed its nearshore staffing solution as a flexible and cost-effective alternative, and the recent expansion offers additional resources for those with DevOps or cloud development requirements. The firm’s streamlined hiring process allows staff to be interviewed and onboarded in five to ten business days, helping to mitigate many of the difficulties currently being seen in the industry.

“Our nearshore software development service brings world-class experts to the table, empowering you to tackle your next development project quickly and with consistent results,” a company representative explained. “We’ll pair you with skilled software engineers from Latin America who are ready to bring your project to life on your time and in your time zone.”

In addition to DevOps and cloud, ParallelStaff’s current talent pool extends to a wide range of fields, including back-end, front-end, mobile, QA, data management, and more. All candidates have passed through a rigorous screening process that includes English proficiency and technical assessments and background checks.

“ParallelStaff has allowed us to staff our teams with high skilled engineers, so we can complete our projects faster than ever before,” one VP of Engineering recently stated. “The gives us access to a vast talent community, and their hiring process is far more efficient than any other outsourcing company we’ve worked with.”

The recent improvements include greater integration of the company’s Fee Shield platform, which is designed to identify and refund undeclared payment processing fees imposed by banks. The solution now works directly with many popular software packages, such as accounting, inventory management, invoicing, payment gateways, retail, and restaurant/bar services.

More details can be found at: https://kickfees.com

The platform can also be used in conjunction with KickFees payment processing products, which include smart terminals, card readers, mobile applications, invoicing, payment links, and virtual terminals. Recognizing the substantial up-front costs of such systems, the firm offers these devices under affordable monthly payment plans.

A recent Forbes report highlights the economic difficulties being faced by small- and medium-sized businesses in 2023. Inflation, ongoing supply chain issues, and talent shortages are all expected to continue into the foreseeable future. With many businesses reluctant to raise their prices, improved efficiency is suggested as being one of the most important strategies.

The enhanced Fee Shield system is designed to address one significant overhead, namely, the fees associated with point-of-sale and payment processing systems. KickFees states that the solution now identifies a broad variety of unnecessary charges, including association fees, annual fees, non-swipe fees, dues and assessments, program fees, and more.

About KickFees

With over 30 years’ experience in the financial technology industry, the KickFees team aims to fill a gap in the payment processing segment, offering seamless protection against unwarranted fees. While the system now has advanced integration capabilities, developers continue to refine and improve the platform, with further updates expected in the coming months.

A company representative recently stated: “Fee Shield was developed to programmatically analyze payment processing statements and defend business owners from additional charges being passed by the banks and their network partners. One significant benefit is that it works directly with existing systems and hardware, and no additional training is required.”

Specifically, this expansion can help those who have suffered financial losses due to the sale of a leveraged ETF asset. The mishandling of leveraged ETFs sold at the recommendation of a financial advisor may qualify under Florida law as an overtly negligent action on the part of the broker and constitutes fraud, allowing those who have suffered as a result to seek compensation.

To learn more, visit https://www.securitieslawyer.com

Regulatory notices sent out to FINRA members, which are considered industry standard and would be followed by any registered investment advisor or FINRA member brokerage firm, specifically state in FINRA Regulatory Notice 09-31 states that leveraged products, reset each day, leveraged and inverse ETFs typically are inappropriate as an intermediate or long-term investment. Some examples of the largest and most popular leveraged ETFs that have been mismanaged by brokers and held as long positions by brokers who don’t understand what they are selling include:

Proshares ultra Pro QQQ, symbol TQQQ, 3x leverage;

Direxion Daily Semiconductor Bull 3x Shares, symbol SOXL, 3x leverage;

Proshares ultra QQQ, symbol SOXL, 3x leverage;

Proshres ultra QQQ, symbol QLD, 2x leverage

Direxion Daily Financial Bull, symbol FAS, 3x leverage

Proshares Ultra Financials, symbol UYG, 2x leverage

Many customers of financial advisors don’t understand how the leverage in these ETFs work and how volatile these leverage ETFs can be. According to Florida’s Securities and Investor Protection Act, anyone who has suffered financial loss as a result of negligent or otherwise criminal behavior by a broker is eligible to pursue compensation. Following the expansion, Soreide Law Group can help more clients seek justice through FINRA arbitration, which is among the fastest and most effective ways to secure that compensation outside of court.

Through this arbitration process, cases are brought before a neutral board appointed by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority. From there, an array of state, local, federal, and organization-level statutes are at the disposal of Soreide’s legal team to build a case against the defendants.

Soreide Law has recovered over $40,000,000 in the aggregate in total relief for their clients over the last decade. Their expert team is intimately familiar with the complex process involved when pursuing FINRA arbitrations involving leverage ETFs, and are prepared to guide their clients in a timely and respectful manner.

Leveraged ETF cases make up only a small portion of the cases Soreide Law Group are able to assist with. The firm also handles cases involving high-risk placements, unsuitable investments, unauthorized trading, excessive margin calls, and a range of other negligent behaviors.

Lars Soreide, head lawyer at the firm, has spent 14 years bringing FINRA arbitrations on behalf of retail customers nationwide. His expertise and the team working behind him make the firm uniquely equipped to handle securities fraud cases, and doubly so when it comes to the FINRA arbitration process.

Soreide Law Group provides their services on a contingency fee basis, meaning no costs to the plaintiff until victory is achieved. Interested parties can receive a free, no-obligation consultation to discuss their case by visiting the firm’s website, or by calling 1-888-760-6552.

The recently added products come in a variety of designs and colors, from a navy-blue home school diploma engraved cover to a bright red blank cover. Clients may also request a customized design to incorporate their school logo or their own personal artwork.

More details can be found at https://heycongrats.com/

Hey Congrats says that with the expansion of its leatherette diploma cover range, the team wants to give high school students more options when it comes to presenting or protecting their certificates.

Hey Congrats also offers custom diploma kits that are delivered either as a PDF or text file. These kits are more affordable options to custom covers and allow clients to print their diplomas on their own. Clients may also create an account in Hey Congrats so that they can save their design for other members of their school or organization to use.

The new seasonal services provide customers with an expert assessment, AC repair, and the preventative maintenance of residential and commercial HVAC systems. In addition, Adams Heating & Cooling offers an Express Comfort Priority Services Membership with guaranteed same-day service.

More details can be found at https://adamsheatingandcoolinginc.com/articles/b/spring-hvac-maintenance.

With the announcement of these updated services, the company strongly encourages homeowners and business owners to schedule their tune-up appointments before seasonal weather changes occur.

As the transition from winter to spring begins, the warmer weather necessitates using air conditioning (AC) units to keep homes and businesses at a comfortable temperature. While unused over the fall and winter, AC units may unknowingly fall into disrepair. In addition, HVAC systems that are not regularly serviced could experience serious malfunctions, leading to high repair costs.

Thus, it is essential to have the systems professionally inspected and maintained preventatively before use to avoid serious issues once the systems are turned back on in the spring. The benefits of preventative maintenance include fewer service calls throughout the season, lower energy and maintenance costs, and longer-lasting HVAC systems, explains the Adams Heating & Cooling team.

To help homeowners and business owners stay proactive in their HVAC maintenance, Adams Heating & Cooling offers a wide range of services that ensure a spring and summer season free of AC issues.

Using the latest in HVAC diagnostic technology and a large inventory of replacement parts, the company can assess each client’s AC system, diagnose possible issues, and make necessary repairs or replacements, all in the same visit. The spring servicing options include inspections of the cooling system, blower motor, and ductwork to ensure there are no operational abnormalities and cleaning of the line and pump to guarantee that no clogging or water damage will occur.

Adams Heating & Cooling technicians also run tests on the electrical components of HVAC systems, verifying that electrical outputs are consistent with a healthy system to avoid any unit failures in the hottest months of the year.

These services are bookended by the Express Comfort Priority Services Membership, including a three-year parts and labor warranty on all repairs, VIP rapid response priority service, affordable seasonal tune-ups, special rates on all repairs, and any-time cancellation.

A spokesperson from the company said, “The maintenance performed before the season begins, including inspection of parts, can help alleviate any future problems when the system is turned on. This will save you money on pesky service calls.”

With NATE-certified and professionally trained technicians available 24/7 for service emergencies, Adams Heating & Cooling is rated the top HVAC maintenance company in the Tuscaloosa, AL, area.

The new consumer report, called ‘Made-To-Measure Roman Blinds – Why Choose Roman Shades’, focuses on the advantages of bespoke made-to-measure Roman blinds for homeowners. The article has been produced by Shuttercraft’s design team, who are proud to be at the forefront of window treatment trends in the UK.

More information is available at https://www.shuttercraft.co.uk/blog/blinds/why-choose-made-to-measure-roman-blinds/

Their new consumer report has been released as the popularity of the Roman blind continues to grow in the United Kingdom. Good Homes Magazine named the elegant pleated blind style as one of their top interior design trends for 2023. In particular, the magazine recommended Roman blinds in their colours of the year, the new teal and soft sage green, and in sustainable natural-looking textures and fabrics.

Shuttercraft agrees with Good Homes Magazine that Roman blinds can be a particularly salient design feature, especially in their bespoke styles.

Their new report also recommends Roman blinds for the ultimate room insulation. The window treatment specialists explain that their new made-to-measure Roman blinds can now be made with a thermal lining for better temperature control.

While the Roman blind is often associated with a light and even sheer look, as Shuttercraft’s new report adds, in 2023, Roman blinds can also be made with a room darkening or blackout lining for better light control; darker at night, yet still softly ambient during the day.

Shuttercraft’s design team has also used their new customer report to offer style advice to homeowners who are considering switching to elegant and versatile Roman blinds. The article shows readers they have 131 different fabric options for clients, with unique shades and patterns available–including this year’s trending new teal, soft sage and natural textures.

Shuttercraft’s new consumer report on Roman blinds joins their growing online information resource and collective of on-trend online style guides. For customers looking for more information, their design team is standing by online or over the phone to assist.

A spokesperson for the window treatments specialists said, “Our design team helps UK customers create the perfect Roman blinds for a huge variety of properties, so they’re well-placed to explain what a made-to-measure Roman blind offers compared to other options.”
