Web Designer and Comic Book Enthusiast, Brennen Jones, is Changing How Businesses Get Online by Becoming Their Web “Superhero”

“Everyone needs a website.”

That’s always been Brennen Jones’ motto whenever he comes across anyone looking to debate him on the merits on whether or not they should invest in getting a website built for their business. Or whether one is even needed at all.

“The world is at our fingertips at the push of a button. In this day and age, when everyone is online, I really don’t understand how a business can even think that it’s even okay to not have a website,” Brennen explains.

“If you want a website and price is an issue. Because for many people it is, especially during this pandemic. It still doesn’t mean that you should accept any old solution. You have options. You don’t have to settle.”

This is where Brennen and his company P.S. Web Pros come into play. They’ve marketed themselves to be a hero of sorts. The “web hero” that you and your business deserve and need. Brennen has been doing this for well over 15 years and takes pride in being able to help brands and businesses find their way online.

“I’m a comic book nerd. I mean the type of nerd who has the entire Black Panther comic book collection on hand, and the reason why I bring Black Panther up is that he’s a hero that has always been about his people and helping them out with whatever problems they may have or facing those problems together. It’s like how when Thanos showed up in Wakanda, Black Panther was right there and on the frontlines. This is what I meant earlier when I said how one should never settle for a website. I’ve seen folks scammed paying 20 bucks or something like that for a website. And the site simply isn’t functional at all nor does it have a professional look.”

“Like Black Panther, we’ll face that problem of you getting online together. I’ve developed a system that will give you that professional presence that you should have for your brand, for as low as $99 by us working together with one another.”

“We have other packages as well that are higher priced, but the endgame (pun intended) for anyone who contacts us and is in need of an online presence, is to simply get them online. We have options for every budget.”

P.S. Web Pros will share with their clients their knowledge and tricks of the trade, in order for them to make the best-informed decision and create a true partnership…like Batman and Robin.

And of course, T’Challa and Shuri.

Revolutionary Fall Protection With Zero Damage to Rooftops

blank

Lemoyne, Pa. May 12, 2021 – Homeowners, building owners, contractors and managers can now work safely on standing seam roofs without worrying about damage to panels. The Standing Seam system uses superior anchorage attachment, certified at an independent ISO 17025/ANSI Z359.18 certified materials testing facility. A wide variety of Standing Seam Roof Anchor (SSRA) systems are available for immediate purchase.

Capable of withstanding 14,500 pounds, the SSRA far outstrips the required 5,000 pounds specified by OSHA and ANSI. When the system did ultimately fail, the attachment bolts sheared, leaving the panel itself completely unharmed. (Test anchor body was made of aluminum.) Nearly 10,000 pounds above the required limit and thousands of pounds above all other manufacturers, the Standing Seam Roof Anchor is an inimitable product.

Despite the massive load-bearing capacity and fall protection, however, the SSRA isn’t heavy at all. In fact, an anchor made for one person weighs only 4.5 pounds. That makes it simultaneously both the strongest and the lightest one ever made. It is easy to adjust and move, making it the ideal choice for either temporary or permanent attachment.

No need to buy different products for different jobs or job sites, however. The Standing Seam Roof Anchor boasts a universal design, and therefore works on more than 500 different panel types. These official “panel profiles” included t-seams, bulb seams, SnapLok, single lok, double lok, MR-24 and more. In addition to strongest and lightest, the SSRA is also the most widely applicable. Users can take it from roof to roof without the need to switch out parts, reassemble it or use different systems completely. Consequently, the savings in time, money and effort are considerable.

Components also withstand the test of time. Made of heavily tested stainless steel and aluminum materials, the anchor withstands salt spray and other adverse weather. It takes well to powder coating, so it’s simple to blend permanent anchor installations into the surrounding roof color. The low-profile attachment makes fixed installations even harder to see. This also minimizes tripping.

Another noteworthy characteristic of the Standing Seam Roof Anchor is its ability to withstand the full 5,000 pounds required in every direction of pull. That means workers can count on the roof anchor to prevent accident or injury no matter where they are in relation to the anchor. Working downward, to either side, upward or even up and over the top of the roof, the anchor provides equal protection. That minimizes the need for workers to adjust their anchors on the job. Instead, it gives them freedom of movement to focus on the task at hand.

The SSRA system isn’t just for people. Because it can handle such large loads, it is also ideal for devices and machinery. Users can attach walk boards, SRLs, ladders, horizontal lifelines and roof jacks with equal ease. Get anchors for everyone in the crew as well as all heavy tools frequently in use, and trust to them to keep the jobsite safe for everyone – and every expensive piece of equipment.

Minimize scratching when frequently attaching or detaching the Standing Seam Roof Anchor with recommended Nylon Tipped Set Screws. This will keep roofs looking nice for years to come. These work just as well with the patented universal fit design of the SSRA, and are reusable over and over again. Installation requires nothing more than a torque wrench that reads to inches per pounds, as well as a 3/16-inch hex bit socket. Nothing could be simpler.

The website makes it easy to reorder screws, pair robes and shock absorbers with the SSRA system, and find an appropriate torque wrench, if contractors and workers don’t already have one on hand.

Roofers looking to support American industry will find the Standing Seam Roof Anchor a bonus as well. It’s made in the United States with a Lifetime Life Saving Warranty. Users never again have to worry about paying for a replacement, and profits go to support American businesses. The Standing Seam Roof Anchor is available in a significant number of options, from different attachments to contractor kits that include multiple anchors. Visit www.fallpd.com to learn more today.

SnoBlox-SnoJax Produces the Metal Roofing Snow Guards Needed to Stop Sliding Snow and Ice

blank

Back in the 1970s, metal roofing first made its debut as an option for commercial and residential homes. The first winter after the first installation, every new roof dumped a load of ice and snow on unsuspecting pedestrians. There was an immediate need for snow guards. SnoBlox-SnoJax went into business manufacturing snow guards for metal roofing and continues to serve satisfied customers across the country to this day.

Today, SnoBlox-SnoJax produces its original clear polycarbonate snow guards. The simple design blends in with the colorful metal roof while slowing the slide of ice and snow. Each guard is fastened to the metal roof using screws or adhesive and can hold back up to four tons of ice and snow. They are shaped like a bookend with a six-inch vertical plate able to catch falling and sliding snow. Once the snow is halted, it has a chance to melt instead of falling in a potentially dangerous heap. The snow guards are installed by a metal roofing company, a different contractor, or the homeowner when following all recommended guidelines. They are an affordable solution to an annual problem, costing under five dollars for each piece.

If ice sheets are more of a problem in a particular area, SnoBlox-SnoJax also offers their Snowbreakers product. The triangular unit works to break up sheets of ice and snow with their angular design. Instead of sharp and even deadly amounts of ice racing down the roof, the Snowbreakers crack and shatter the sheets. A pedestrian may only experience a quick shower of ice and snow. When used in combination with the Snoblox snow guards, the property owner sees a significant reduction in dangerous sheets landing in walkways, parking lots, and on people.

Some property owners demanded yet another option to the Snoblox and Snowbreakers systems which attach to the flat areas between the ribs of a metal roof. In 2016, the company bought Action Manufacturing LLC and their line of Colorbar and Snobar products. A Snobar comes in six-foot-wide sections and can clamp onto standing seam metal roofs. They offer a faster installation compared to the Snoblox system and can be ordered in a matching powder coat color for a near-invisible appearance. These units can hold back over a foot of snow while allowing melting ice and snow to continue to slowly and safely drip off the roof. Now customers, clients, and homeowners can walk out from under their metal roof without fearing the next mini avalanche.

Interested commercial and residential contractors and property owners can order the complete range of SnoBlox-SnoJax products directly from their website at snoblox-snojax.com or through a local authorized distributor and reseller. Customers can also contact them through their Facebook and Instagram pages.

SnoBlox-SnoJax remains committed to producing quality systems that work with and support current metal roofing technologies and installation procedures. Their line of products has changed in manufacture and material since its inception, improving durability and function without becoming exorbitantly expensive. The company was first formed by Jack McMullen and is still run by his son, the current CEO and President, Brion P. McMullen.

SnoBlox-SnoJax has been producing quality aftermarket snow guards for metal roofing since 1976. Their products are still Made in America, come with a lifetime no-fine-print warranty, and continue to evolve with the changing market and materials in the metal roofing industry. Their products are available wholesale to certified roofing installers and individual homeowners and contractors.

Nobel Prize in Physics Recognizes Black Hole Discoveries

blank

COLLEGE PARK, MD, October 6, 2020 — The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has awarded the 2020 Nobel Prize in Physics to Roger Penrose “for the discovery that black hole formation is a robust prediction of the general theory of relativity” and to Reinhard Genzel and Andrea Ghez “for the discovery of a supermassive compact object at the centre of our galaxy.” Ghez is the fourth woman to win a Nobel Prize in Physics.

“APS congratulates the 2020 Nobel Laureates for their outstanding contributions to astrophysics, and the understanding of our universe,” said APS CEO Kate Kirby. “I sincerely hope that this award will inspire the next generation of physicists, especially young women, whom we are committed to supporting at every level.”

“I’m pleased to see the Swedish academy recognize a fourth woman Nobel Laureate,” said APS President Phil Bucksbaum. “Andrea Ghez joins Donna Strickland, Maria Goeppert Mayer, and Marie Curie as the only women with that distinction.”

Nobel Prize 2020 winners photo

Half of the prize goes to the University of Oxford’s Penrose, whose research published in Physical Review Letters during the 1960s is considered the most important contribution to the general theory of relativity since its conception by Albert Einstein more than a century ago. In 1971, APS and the American Institute of Physics honored Penrose with the Dannie Heineman Prize for Mathematical Physics.

The other half of the prize is jointly awarded to Genzel and Ghez, both APS Fellows, who have provided some of the strongest evidence to date that the compact object at the center of the Milky Way known as Sagittarius A* is very likely a supermassive black hole. Genzel gave an invited talk at the 2020 APS April Meeting where he described the culmination of nearly 30 years of observations of the star S2, revealing that it orbits Sagittarius A* just as Einstein predicted, in the shape of a rosette rather than an ellipse. Genzel is co-director of the Max Planck Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics and professor emeritus at the University of California, Berkeley.

Glennys Farrar, chair of the APS Division of Astrophysics, said: “I’m thrilled that the Nobel Committee has recognized the critical importance of the work of Genzel and Ghez, which established beyond a doubt the existence of a supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way, and the work of Penrose with Stephen Hawking, predicting the existence of black holes.”

“Their work has made pioneering use of adaptive optics on the Keck telescope, and it has led to the understanding that supermassive black holes inhabit the centers of many galaxies,” said Bucksbaum.

APS recognized Ghez, a professor of astrophysics at the University of California, Los Angeles, early in her career with the 1999 Maria Goeppert Mayer Award for outstanding achievement by a woman in physics. She presented an overview of decades of research on the Galactic Center at a plenary session at the 2019 April Meeting in Denver, CO.

“As often happens in science, a conceptual breakthrough relies on developing powerful new tools, which then lead to other discoveries,” said Farrar. “The precise measurements of the Genzel and Ghez teams have not only verified aspects of General Relativity that had never before been tested, but have also led to much more accurate knowledge of the location of the Solar System in the Galaxy which will be valuable in many other applications.”

“For science to advance requires unbounded leaps of imagination, but such leaps must be subject to rigorous observational examination,” said APS President-Elect Sylvester James Gates, Jr. “So we see two dichotomies, both Illustrated in this Nobel Prize, with Penrose’s work as an example of the first while the work of Genzel and Ghez illustrate the latter.”

This is the tenth consecutive year Physical Review Letters, the flagship journal of the American Physical Society, has been cited in the scientific background materials of the physics or chemistry prizes. A recent analysis revealed that, since 1995, 28.5% of Nobel-winning research in physics appeared in Physical Review Letters, outpacing other leading publications such as The Astrophysical Journal (11.2%), Science (5.6%), and Nature (4.7%).

Journals Nobel 2020 chart

“The Physical Review journals are among the most-read and highest-cited peer-reviewed publications in physics and related disciplines, broadly trusted and valued by researchers around the world for more than 127 years,” said APS Publisher Matthew Salter.

The Nobel Prize, first awarded in 1901, is widely regarded as the highest honor in science, economics, and literature. Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the 2020 award ceremony at Stockholm City Hall will be streamed online in December. Laureates will receive medals and diplomas in their home countries. The Nobel Foundation has increased the prize amount to 10 million Swedish krona (about 1.1 million US dollars) for the first
