AWDI and Augurian
In fact, in most markets, many of the top 10 results do not make windows or doors. The new 2016 Marketing Landscape for Windows and Doors study from AWDI and Augurian reveals that success on the Internet is not about brand, but about source. And "source" is more about the service than the product.
The simple fact is if you're selling replacement windows and not positioning your online message properly by addressing the most popular search terms and phrases, you will not appear in the coveted top 10 search results that spell business on the web. Moving up one position in your market's search results can increase your online business up to 20 percent.
Using Augurian's proprietary data in the national study, or in a customized study for your particular market, can help you do just that.

With much of the country in line for more high temperatures as summer winds down, employers should be mindful of employees' exposure to heat hazards on the job. Although the Occupational Safety and Health Administration has no heat standard, the agency has become increasingly willing to cite employers for employees’ heat exposure under Section 5(A)(1) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSH Act), commonly known as the General Duty Clause.

A new Department of Labor overtime rule set to begin on Dec. 1, 2016, will impact millions of employees. The rule nearly doubles the amount of money a worker must be paid in order to be exempt from earning overtime pay.
Under the rule, most salaried workers earning up to $47,476 a year must be paid time-and-a-half overtime pay if they work more than 40 hours during a week. Previously employers were exempt from paying overtime pay to workers earning $23,660. The new rule is expected to make 4.2 million additional workers eligible for overtime pay.
