Haskell Achieves Unique Milestone

Brooklyn, NY ( ) August 16, 2013 – Haskell New York Inc., a Brooklyn-based office supply dealer has recently tallied reward credits issued from its online games. Since it began the program, the company has given away over a half million credits just from playing the Slot Machine Game, the Shell Game, the Door Game and the original Pick Number Game.

While the concept of providing redeemable reward credits for each purchase may not be new, few (if any) other companies use games to earn additional credits. When combined with credits given for each purchase, the corporate website OfficeSalesUSA.com, provides not only a great place to shop but also a place to have fun. Haskell even provides ways to assign specifically who gets credits:

users (the default)
approvers
designated approver

Few companies provide this level of customization in their incentive programs. Haskell also added many other time saving and purchasing enhancements on its site including:

individual spending limits
multi-level approvers
multiple departments
multiple shiptos
default departments
recreate orders from history
ability to easily see products with green benefits
ability to order non-stocks
ability to work on several orders

Haskell even provides a no questions asked online RMA (Return Merchandise Authorization) feature. Large accounts appreciate the convenience and no hassle approach to returns. Haskell gives a robust experience custom tailored for each user and account type. From casual shoppers that just want to make a single purchase without having to answer a million questions to full scale enterprises that need all the bells and whistles, Haskell provides unique solutions that adjust to each situation.

Federal buyers can even use their GSA login to gain access to Haskell’s General Services Administration Schedule 75. According to the site’s webmaster:

“Power extensions like these give Haskell an edge over the competition with scalable logins that mold to the individual’s needs.”

The site even includes a way to search and browse products made by people living with major disabilities. Haskell New York Inc. is an authorized AbilityOne program member. Products sold by the company under the Skilcraft brand provide employment opportunities and support to the blind, wounded veterans and individuals facing limited mobility.

From its early start back in 1928 to the rise of the office superstores and online world, Haskell continues to adapt to the times providing innovative tools and solutions to businesses. Every company is different and given the VIP treatment. With an average response time in minutes rather than hours, Haskell rates among the best in its support. It’s this commitment to excellence that has kept the company in business for 85 years and will keep it going for many years to come.

Rentals Gone Wild expands to Atlanta Market

Rentals Gone Wild’s tremendous success with relocation service in DC has opened the door to the Atlanta market. “We are beyond excited to impress Atlanta renters with the type of dedicated, personalized locator experience we offer,” explains Blake Van Leer, Marketing Director and Managing Member of Rentals Gone Wild.

Recent data by CBRE Inc.’s Economic Advisors in the Atlanta Business Chronicle forecasts annual revenue growth in Atlanta to exceed 5 percent. “Atlanta job growth will outpace the nation this year” reports Marcus & Millichap as major corporations like State Farm, GM and Ernst & Young invest in the area creating thousands of new jobs. Atlanta will need to accommodate those relocating to the area for new employment opportunities as well as local residents forming new households by increasing rental availability.

“Atlanta’s rental market is growing so rapidly due to corporate relocations and expansions. We’ve been looking to add a new region to our portfolio and this location just makes perfect sense,” states Blake Van Leer. “Vast employment and revenue growth will create a booming housing demand in this region for at least the next 5 years. Atlanta Renters will appreciate a free service to assist them in making this moving process a lot easier.”

To officially kick off their Atlanta expansion, Rentals Gone Wild attended this year’s Atlanta Apartment Association’s Beat the Odds tradeshow. They featured an eye catching 007-theme showcasing their “Bond” approved rentals and hostesses who “served” company literature.

Rentals Gone Wild enjoys playing off their name by bringing some fun into the stressful moving industry. This company will certainly add some flair to this market, but the service being offered is what’s really intriguing. Rentals Gone Wild acts as a match making service for renters and apartments. Instead of just surfing the internet alone, renters can contact this company and have a rental “concierge” find it for them. Since apartment communities provide Rentals Gone Wild with their current specials, the concierge will provide the renter a list of the best “matched” deals based on their specified criteria. The concierge is available to answer questions, schedule appointments and accommodate whatever additional request that ensures the moving experience goes smoothly.

This personalized service is 100% free, and even wilder, they actually pay the renter if they lease one of the apartment matches! Going even a step further, they provide access to moving discounts and resources, such as truck rentals, movers, boxes, neighborhood statistics, utility info and much more.

Atlanta, you may be growing fast, but it looks like Rentals Gone Wild has the moving part covered.

Priest Electric Explains How To Reduce Electric Motor Bearing Failures

There are several reasons to do an electric motor rebuild, but the most common is bearing failure. It has been suggested that as much as 80% of all the electric motor rebuilds are done because of a bearing failure. These failures can be due to improper bearing use, improper maintenance or improper installation of the electric motor. Proper installation and maintenance of bearings can result in a much longer useful life for any electric motor.

The most crucial factor in avoiding early bearing failure is an optimal operating environment. In a perfect world, the bearing environment would have a low humidity, be contaminant free, have no vibration, and have a consistent temperature. The bearing loads would be perfectly balanced, and there would be continual lubrication to combat friction and bearing wear. In an environment such as this, bearings could be in constant use and last indefinitely. In reality though, we know that no electric motor operates in these conditions. While we can only dream of the perfect environment for bearing use, we can certainly do some things to make the environment as satisfactory as possible.

The first step you can take is to align the motor shafts properly when the motor is installed. Any misalignment between the electric motor shaft and the driven equipment shaft can cause a premature failure of the motor bearings. The reason is that misalignment will cause excessive loads and vibration. We already know that we want to eliminate vibration and minimize the bearing loads whenever possible.

While couplings are flexible to reduce the effects of misalignment, it is never a smart idea to take advantage of the coupling flexibility. Instead, secure the driven motor parts and then install the coupling.

Next we move on to the problem of moisture. While you may not be able to control the level of humidity and moisture, you can certainly manage it to minimize the effect it has on bearing life. In most cases, humidity will have little effect on running motors. It is only once the motor is turned off and allowed to cool down that condensation forms. This is something you can manage. Take steps to guard against the condensation such as using a grease that is fortified with rust inhibitors and rotating the shaft of the idle motor on a frequent basis. Another option is to install heaters in the motor.

Next, you should take whatever steps necessary to minimize vibration of the motor. Vibration is one of the major causes of bearing wear, which will ultimately lead to bearing failure. Make sure the equipment being driven is in balance, or has been balanced. This could include fans, impellers, or other rotating parts.

While there are other steps you can take to maximize the life of motor bearings, the ones above are the most critical if you want to extend the life of the motor and avoid frequent electric motor rebuild situations. In the case of electric motors, it is unquestionably true that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
