June 22, 2021, Toronto, ON — DryShield Water Solutions has released a document stating the different sets of things one should avoid while undertaking the waterproofing of their basements for lasting results. DryShield Water Solutions is a top waterproofing company that offers quick solutions for any basement or foundation-related problems. The company has huge experience in the field and has recently started to share a few of its tips with its audience. The company has stated a few things to avoid while getting the waterproofing done in the basements during the DIY projects.

While talking to the spokesperson of the foundation crack repair Barrie company, he said that people normally try to undertake simple cracks and waterproofing projects by themselves without any professional advice. And this is where the problem starts as they have checked the steps that need to be done but don’t check the things that need to be avoided. This is the company’s attempt to make people aware of the don’ts when it comes to the basement waterproofing Barrie method.

According to the document, there are several things that one needs to take care of for a professional level of outcome. However, even for the temporary solutions, there are a few basic things to avoid. To list a few are avoiding waterproofing paint, ignorance towards the soil that surrounds the house, draining the flood water too quickly, and not letting the area dry completely.

Stakeholders are advised that perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and (additive) organohalogenated flame retardants (OFR) are to be regulated in a wide variety of consumer products in the US state of Nevada.

The state governor signed AB 97 (Chapter 112, 2021 Session) into law on May 27, 2021. This act amends the state’s Revised Statutes in relation to:

• Chapter 459 ‘Hazardous Materials’ – PFAS in firefighting foams – prohibited for testing and firefighting training, except in specific uses
• Chapter 597 ‘Miscellaneous Trade Regulations and Prohibited Acts’ – OFR in business textiles, children’s products, mattresses, residential textiles and upholstered residential furniture – restricted to no more than 1,000 ppm for each OFR

To learn about exemptions to the OFR requirement, read SGS’s original SafeGuard 077/21.

The Act includes the following definitions:

• ‘PFAS’ – family of fluorinated organic chemicals with at least one fully fluorinated carbon atom
• ‘Residential textile’ – textile designed for residential use as a covering on windows or walls
• ‘Children’s product’ – product primarily designed or intended to be used by or for a child under 12 years of age

The definition of ‘children’s product’ does not include:

•  A tent or sleeping bag
• Consumer electronic products and components or products complying with Directive 2002/95/EC of the European Union (currently Directive 2011/65/EU, RoHS Recast)

Unbound, A Tale of Love and Betrayal in Shanghai by Bethesda resident Dina Gu Brumfield has been named one of the best indie books of 2021 by the Independent Book Publishing Professionals Group. 

Dina Gu Brumfield’s debut novel is a finalist in the category of First Novel over 90,000 words in the 2021 Next Generation Indie Book Awards.  Dina’s novel stood out for its compelling story telling in the world’s largest book awards program for independent publishers and self-published authors. Unbound is a story of three generations of women who live amid the turmoil of war and political upheaval.  Dina paints a richly textured, turbulent portrait of the city of Shanghai in the twentieth century.

Dina is a native of Shanghai, China, who moved to the United States in 1989. Her novel Unbound is written in English, her second language.  The Indie Book Awards is the largest such award for books written in English language.

The awards will be presented June 25 in an online event which will stream live on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/NextGenerationIndieBookAwards at 7:00 pm (Eastern Time) and 4:00 pm (Pacific Time).

The Next Generation Indie Book Awards are judged by leaders of the indie book publishing industry, including many with long careers at major publishing houses. Their love of a great read and experience in the publishing arena identify books deserving a wider audience.

In an article at CNN.com titled If it’s cool, creative, and different, it’s indie, journalist Catherine Andrews wrote: “The term ‘indie’ traditionally refers to independent art – music, film, literature or anything that fits under the broad banner of culture – created outside of the mainstream and without corporate financing.” That definition remains true for book publishing.

Independent publishers include small presses, larger independent publishers, university presses, e-book publishers, and self-published authors.

According to Catherine Goulet, Founder and Co-Chair of the Next Generation Indie Book Awards, “Like other independent artists, many indie book publishers face challenges that the industry giants don't experience. The indies have to work much harder to get their best books into readers’ hands.”

“Authors and publishers who compete in the Next Generation Indie Book Awards are serious about promoting their books,” adds Goulet. “They aim to stand out from the crowd of millions of books in print.”

London – The startup named Pop VoIP has been backed by its parent company – Pop Telecom – and aims to unite business related data with phone calls and create a platform that harnesses the capability that enables home workers, mobile phones and offices act in unison through a single connection. The system offers the gateway to team conversation and overcomes the difficulty of having to send messages to individual members of a team. This feature allows instantaneous communication with team members and all chats are backed-up on the system cloud-based storage.

Low cost communication, made from Pop VoIP platform and virtual integration with CRM tools and commerce solutions has been a key driver in the company’s success. Advanced PBX features increase the retention of call flow. Pop VoIP also boasts a virtual receptionist that allows quick transfer of customers to the right employee and saves the time that would otherwise be required for a manual receptionist to retrieve the concerned message and relay it on paper in person. Acquisition of freephone numbers from multiple countries allows the recruitment of new agents and expansion of the company to become a global provider with beefed up customer support. International calls can be routed anywhere in the specified country thereby expanding customer base without requiring the capital to move or build new offices.

The system uses packet-switched protocols through computer networks and has superseded the need to use cables for calls since data is transmitted via the internet making it easier for users to connect with their loved ones and friends. Monthly broadband solutions are an integral element of Pop VoIP which averts the need to purchase expensive circuit switches from local telephone supply. The signals relayed by the system can be transmitted from any VoIP compatible network. A simple setup with local network allows access to the VoIP system and several beneficial features. VoIP has climbed the ladder in the telecommunications industry in recent years. Features like conference calling, instant messaging, and call recording from a VoIP system and several other VoIP packages to suit small or large businesses and even for personal usage have become the dominant way of accessibility in this modern era.

About Pop VoIP

The freedom and liberty by granting the ability to move freely throughout the office yet continuously maintaining the availability and quality of the service is one major advantage of Pop VoIP that cannot be overlooked. Unlike any other telephony provider, Pop VoIP solves the problem of costly fees and limitations by providing a two-in-one, easy-to-use system while maintaining a highly-accessible and feature-rich service. Pop VoIP is continually evolving — having an open-access around the globe with offices in London and the USA making us an international business. Pop VoIP subscribers are empowered to a full-cycle expense manageme
