Company focused on “improving life’s spaces”

Nazareth, PA – Kitchen Magic, a family-owned and operated remodeling company, announced it has expanded its renovating services to tackle organizing and beautifying more rooms in the home. The initiative to apply 40+ years of innovation and experience to rooms beyond the kitchen was put into motion as the COVID-19 pandemic lockdowns uncovered emerging client needs aimed at making homes more efficient in the work-from-home era, thus, improving life’s spaces.

The new offerings include solutions to enhance laundry rooms, pantries, and storage solutions throughout the home. Homeowners will also have access to custom cabinet upgrades. To further complement this offering, Kitchen Magic launched a new line of affordable cabinetry named Barwen.

With the “new normal” in the rearview mirror and the “next normal” on the horizon, Kitchen Magic is adapting to accommodate clients’ evolving lifestyles, foreseeing a desire to live in an aesthetically pleasing and functional home with more storage space.

“In response to client needs, we jumped at the opportunity to create solutions that help streamline and declutter the home,” stated Kitchen Magic President Brett Bacho. “We’ve developed ways to assist existing clients with upcoming renovation plans as well as introduce Kitchen Magic to a wider group of homeowners seeking remodeling.”

Kitchen Magic has teams of consultants across CT, MA, NJ, NY, PA and RI to help homeowners in these regions envision their upcoming projects. As the products and services launch this month, customers can expect the same top-notch quality with these additions as they’ve come to expect from Kitchen Magic’s superior kitchen renovations.

Advanced military platforms, ocean-bottom survey systems and remote sensing applications all require precise timing for mission success. Chip Scale Atomic Clocks (CSACs) ensure stable and accurate timing even when Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) time signals are unavailable. Helping industrial and military system designers to meet this requirement, Microchip Technology Inc. (Nasdaq: MCHP) today announced its new SA65 CSAC, providing precise timing accuracy and stability in extreme environments.

Microchip’s SA65 CSAC is an embedded timing solution with improved environmental ruggedness, delivering higher performance than the previous SA.45s CSAC, including double the frequency stability over a wider temperature range and faster warm-up at cold temperatures. The SA65 has an operating temperature range of -40 to 80 degrees Celsius (^oC) and a storage temperature range of -55 to 105 ^oC. The warm-up time of two minutes at -40 ^oC is 33% faster than that of the SA.45s.

Together, these SA65 CSAC performance improvements benefit designers of highly-portable solutions for military applications such as Assured Position, Navigation and Timing (A-PNT) and command, control, communications, computers, cyber, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (C5ISR) requiring precise frequencies generated by a low Size, Weight and Power (SWaP) atomic clock. Improvements such as fast warm-up to frequency after cold start, temperature stability over a wide operating range, and frequency accuracy and stability enabling extended operation while GNSS is denied help to ensure mission success in conflict environments.

The SA65 CSAC is the world’s lowest-power commercial atomic clock and provides precise timing for portable and battery-powered applications requiring continuous operation and holdover in GNSS-denied environments. The SA65 is form-, fit- and function-compatible with the SA.45s, which minimizes risk and redesign costs for the system developer while improving performance and environmental insensitivity.

As a world leader in the research, development and manufacture of timing and synchronization solutions, Microchip has delivered more than 275,000 rubidium clocks, 138,000 CSACs, 12,500 Cesium clocks and 200 active hydrogen masers to customers worldwide.

Development Tools

The CSAC family of atomic clocks is supported by Developer Kit 990-00123-000, as well as associated software, a user guide and technical support.

Availability

Garnet Valley, PA, USA, August 24, 2021 -- Briggs Auction is pleased to offer the Dr. Mead Shaffer collection of early American antiques on Friday, September 24th. Bidding is online only, through Briggs Auction's Bid at Briggs platform and through Live Auctioneers.com. Pre-auction/absentee bids will be accepted until 10 am on the date of auction, September 24th, when real-time online bidding will begin on both platforms.

Dr. Shaffer, a resident of Garnet Valley, Pennsylvania, is a noted preservationist, historian and collector. The auction will include Dr. Shaffer’s extensive collection of colonial and early American and regional antiques, colonial cookware, folk and decorative arts and much more. Briggs Auction has an app to make bidding easy and convenient; simply search Briggs Auction in the Apple App Store, or on Google Play.

"Dr. Shaffer has been a staple in the antiques community for over forty years, and his collection is truly one to be admired," said Stephen Turner, the owner of Briggs Auction, Inc. "We are honored Dr. Shaffer chose us to handle this important and historic collection, and we hope that it will appeal to a wide range of collectors, history buffs and anyone who's looking for a piece of early America and/or local Pennsylvania.”

Dr. Shaffer grew up on a farm in Wayne County, Pennsylvania, which he later gifted to the state. It is now known as the Varden Conservation Area. In 1960, after college at Penn State and a stint in the Army as a veterinarian, he moved to Delaware County, where he opened his (still thriving) veterinary practice. Shortly after, he took up residence in a home on the circa 1721 Booth farm in Bethel Township, also known as the Garret-Booth-Cheyney House, which he relished as much for its ties to colonial America as the farmland itself. "I am obsessed with history", Dr. Shaffer said, and his collection reflects this passion.

Highlights of the collection include early cupboards and cabinets, including an 18th century Pennsylvania red painted corner cupboard with star and moon decoration; a Pennsylvania blue-painted two-door cupboard with rat-tail hinges; an 18th century two-part Dutch cupboard in salmon paint with pie shelf; and an 18th century possible Eastern Shore, Md., one-piece corner cupboard with a 12-light glass door top.

Also included is a fine selection of early and 19th century chairs, including a set of ten Bucks County, Pa., bamboo-turned chairs attributed to Samuel Moon; several 18th century Philadelphia low-back Windsor armchairs, many with grain painted seats; early Philadelphia Windsor settees; and wonderful benches.

Also sold will be a Chippendale walnut desk; an 18th century Chippendale pine blanket chest and an 18th century walnut hanging wall cupboard from Oley Valley (Berks County), with a self-locking lower drawer.

Whimsical early American folk-art pieces are sure to generate excitement, including carvings by William Ellis; a carved and painted passenger pigeon perched on a branch; a carved and polychrome-decorated rabbit figure; a carved wooden sculpture of a standing pig with a painted surface; a carved wooden sculpture of a fish mounted onto a later whalebone and wood base; and a collection of carved decoys.

The Dr. Shaffer collection will also feature many pieces of local stoneware, including jugs, crocks, water coolers and more, by makers such as H. Weston (Honesdale, Pa.); Sipe, Nichols & Co. (Williamsport, Pa.); O.H. Smith & Bros. (Flemington, N.J.), as well as others. Also up for bid will be a fine assortment of 19th century toleware and early American metal ware, including kitchen wares, utensils and other items.

Live, in-person previews will be held on Wednesday, September 22nd, from 1-5 pm; and on Thursday, September 23rd from 1-5 pm, both times Eastern, with no appointment needed. The previews will be held at the Garret-Booth-Cheyney House and barn, located at 1645 Bethel Road, Garnet Valley, PA 19060.

MORBiZ, a hyper-local Internet marketing company that caters to the needs of small businesses, has released a new blog about earning repeat customers. For a business to be successful, it obviously needs customers. For that success to be sustained, it needs repeat customers, meaning people who regularly return to acquire more goods and services. Gaining new customers, especially repeat customers, in any sector can be extremely challenging, especially if your business faces stiff competition. However, because returning buyers are so vital to business, it’s integral to do all you can to secure them, but how? Well, before a customer becomes a repeat customer, they need to become a first time customer.

The key to earning new customers is to make your business easy to find, and we don’t just mean having a good physical location. A big online presence is crucial for attracting new consumers, who will ideally become repeat shoppers down the road. MORBiZ specializes in helping small local businesses establish and maintain a digital footprint that makes it easy for nearby consumers to find them. Once a potential customer finds you online and likes what they see, such as an easy to navigate website that clearly explains your services, they’re likely to schedule an appointment or simply head in. At that point, it’s time for you and your team to do what you do best, offer a quality experience.

The new blog released by MORBiZ about earning repeat customers answers integral questions, such as "Why are repeat customers so important?" and provides tips for converting first time customers into life-long clients. To read the new blog it its entirety, visit www.morbiz.com/the-importance-of-gaining-repeat-customers.
