Columbus, OH (PRWEB) May 21, 2014

Will it be Arthur, Bertha or Cristobal that makes a new name for itself during the 2014 Atlantic Hurricane Season? Following a spring of severe weather outbreaks across the country, experts at Simonton Windows advise people to evaluate the windows in their homes and businesses as part National Hurricane Preparedness Week, May 25-31, 2014.

"Windows should be checked annually to assure that they are in solid, working condition with no leaks or cracks," says Matthew Minerd with Simonton Windows. "Especially if your location experienced severe weather of any kind in 2013 or early 2014, you need to make certain that your windows --- one of the four most vulnerable areas in the home --- are ready to handle the 2014 Hurricane Season which starts on June 1st."

Minerd advises that impact-resistant glass packages in windows of homes and commercial properties both in direct coastal locations and further inland should be checked during National Hurricane Preparedness Week. He encourages property owners to check the seals on windows and doors along with the frames. Even if a unit appears to have held up well, Minerd advises to make absolutely certain that frames are not cracked or the units are not compromised in any way.

"If you're building a new home or replacing windows in a cherished coastal home, one of the best ways to help protect your property is to request impact-resistant glass, like that found in Simonton StormBreaker Plus windows and in the Simonton ProFinish Brickmould 600 SafePoint glass package," says Minerd. "This sturdy glass helps protect the house from windborne debris --- like tree limbs, lawn furniture and trash cans --- that can fly through the air during severe weather. It also helps reduce outside noise from entering the home, is extremely energy efficient and helps prevent intruders from breaking the glass and entering the home.*

Impact-Resistant Glass for Windows Constructed of remarkably sturdy reinforced vinyl profiles, Simonton products with impact-resistant glass help withstand high winds and flying debris without the need for plywood or shutters. Approved to the High Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ) certification standards through the American Architectural Manufacturers Association (AAMA) and the Florida Building Commission (FBC) StormBreaker Plus windows and doors are tested in compliance with the windborne debris standards adopted in the International Residential Building Code, and the Florida Building code.

This testing ensures that the units can be used in all regions of the country that have building code requirements for impact-resistant products. This includes the Florida coast, the Gulf of Mexico coast and the east coast, and is recognized by the Texas Department of Insurance windstorm inspection program. Products with SafePoint glass have passed ASTM E1886-05/1996-09 at the Missile C level and can withstand repeated blows by a heavy object.

"Reports from a variety of weather forecasters say that the 2014 Atlantic Hurricane Season will have a below average number of storms, just like in 2013," says Minerd. "However, that doesn't mean homeowners can let down their guard.

"All it takes is one powerful storm with high winds--- not necessarily even a named hurricane --- to cause damage to a home or business. Being ready for the unexpected with impact-resistant windows and patio doors can bring tremendous peace-of-mind to property owners."

New HVHZ-Approved Sliding Patio Door In late 2013 Simonton introduced the Simonton StormBreaker Plus HVHZ-approved sliding patio door.** The impact-resistant patio door from Simonton is tested and certified to meet AAMA and ASTM standards for impact-resistant products, HVHZ Miami-Dade County, Broward County and select areas of Palm Beach County protocols** for the Florida Building Commission and Texas Department of Insurance evaluations for the Texas Coast.

Homejoy just announced its first acquisition New York-based Uber for maids startup Get Maid.

Both Get Maid and Homejoy announced their cleaning services towards the end of 2012. They have a slightly different emphasis Get Maid is more focused on immediate service, promising users that the maids will arrive within two hours of their order, while Homejoy customers usually schedule their cleanings days or weeks ahead of time. Homejoy is also available in more than 30 markets in the United States and Canada (Update: And the United Kingdom), while GetMaid is just available in New York.

GetMaid co-founders Steven Gutentag and Demetri Karagas will be joining Homejoy and working out of its recently opened New York office. (Their third co-founder, CTO Justin Fargione, will not be joining.)

The financial terms of the deal were not disclosed. Since Homejoy raised $38 million in Series A and B funding last year, the company seems positioned to make more acquisitions like this, but a spokesperson told me there are no plans for such deals, with future acquisitions evaluated on a case by case basis.

Homejoy says Get Maid customers will now have the option to make their bookings from Homejoy. Ive asked the company for more details about how the deal will affect the existing Get Maid service and will update if I hear back.

Update: Homejoy says it will be shutting down the existing Get Maid service.

Home Cleaning Startup Homejoy Acquires, Shuts Down Competitor Get Maid

By Katie Mills Giorgio, correspondent

Stephanie Nesseth is the first to admit that her house doesnt always get cleaned. But she has a good excuse.

As the owner of Absolutely Clean in Cedar Rapids, Nesseth is making sure that the homes of all her clients are absolutely clean.

We are a maid service that cleans everything from top to bottom, left to right, Nesseth said. Weve even done laundry before. Our services are really customizable.

Nesseth spent many years as a stay-at-home mom and preschool teacher before starting Absolutely Clean 14 years ago. I didnt start this thinking I would become a business owner, she said.

Back in 2001, Nesseth was looking for full-time flexible work, as her family including her son who battled childhood cancer was her first priority.

After gaining some clients, Nesseth quickly realized there were other moms out there who needed flexible work and could assist in her expanding business. Hiring those who needed flexibility was my business model. It keeps loyalty high and employees happy.

Absolutely Clean has about 18 full-time employees. Nesseth said her business runs optimally with about 25 employees. They work from 8:45 a.m. until about 4:30 p.m. sometimes until 6 p.m. to clean client homes.

Some clients we dont even see. Others we will spend 45 minutes in a consultation interview before we clean their house for the first time, explained Nesseth. Either way is OK with us, because its their home we are cleaning.

Absolutely Clean also operates a commercial division with part-time staff who work evening hours. Nesseth said she especially enjoys helping her employees grow. We are more than just maids.

Feras Naaisa and Hind Barakat

AMAN is facing a possible prison sentence for harassing two Bristol doctors over an alleged death in Syria. David Tzadok, 57, of Harcourt Road, Redland, sent messages and documents to bosses at St Michael's Hospital claiming doctor Feras Naaisa had been involved in the death of a maid who fell from a tower block in Syria ten years ago.

Tzadok then told Mr Naaisa's wife, dental surgeon Hind Barakat, that her and her children's lives were in danger from her husband.

He also contacted the police, social services and the General Medical Council (GMC) about the alleged murder.

The "distressing" harassment forced the doctors to move house, Bristol Magistrates' Court heard. He was convicted by a judge and will be sentenced at a later date.

Tzadok told the court he had began targeting the doctors and the authorities after receiving a call from Mrs Barakat's mother in Syria whom he used to live underneath.

He said allegations of the death involving Mr Naaisa of a Filipino maid who fell from a tower block had come to light and he felt it was his duty to relay the information.

The court heard that Mr Naaisa was first approached about the incident by the clinical director of St Michael's Hospital, John Murdoch, in May last year.

He said: "It was shocking. I was called by Mr Murdoch and he said 'Have you killed someone'?' He added: "It was clear someone was trying to blackmail me."

Mr Naaisa said he returned home one day to find his wife in tears after being contacted by the social services who, he said, had asked her whether he posed any harm to the children.
