  in the topic How to pick perfectly fitting t-shirt for your size? in the forum Support

  If you’re like many of us, you’ll spend more time in a t-shirt than in any other item of clothing (except your underwear, hopefully). In fact, the humble tee is so commonplace that the dark art of sizing doesn’t quite get the attention it deserves. Rather than bulk buying simple undershirts, try taking your time finding a t-shirt that fits, because there’s no simpler way to make your everyday look more fashionable. It’s easy to see why t-shirts have become so popular. In the age of athleisure, comfort is king and formal clothes are becoming less and less common. There’s hardly a more comfortable garment than a well-fitted t-shirt, which is neither too tight nor too loose, without scratchy labels or irritating collars. They’re also the most versatile of clothes. Some will only toddler tees for activities which demand no fashion—sport, sleeping, lounging around at home. But t-shirts are also an opportunity to show your interests to the world around you, whether you’re buying one or designing a custom t-shirt for your business, brand, event or group. If you show others what your favourite brand or movie is, you might find some new friends with something in common come and introduce themselves. But just because they’re comfy and versatile, it doesn’t mean t-shirts can’t be fashionable. A solid-colour tee is a classier look, especially paired with smart trousers and shoes, while colour-blocking with complimentary garments can make for a striking effect. You can put a tee under an open shirt for a relaxed formality, or tuck it under a jumper for a bit of extra warmth. There are plenty of joys to be found in the t-shirt, but that’s only if you can get one to fit right, which can be harder than it sounds. That’s where we come in, so check out this handy guide to the perfect fit. What’s your size? A perfect fit will mean different things to different people, but you’re generally going to want a shape of tee which is flattering to your body shape. Sizes change depending on the brand — you might be a medium in one shop and a large in the next. How to know if a t-shirt fits Tightness A tee shouldn’t be too loose, or it’ll hang awkwardly and make you look shapeless. Too tight and it’ll show your least flattering contours — even if you have a perfectly toned torso, you might look a bit showy in a tight tee. If you’re slim, choose a blue t-shirt with a tailored torso so you’re not swallowed up. If you’re larger, choose a structure which gives you some extra room. Length If you lift up your arms, the hem of the tee shouldn’t ride up to expose your belly. As a general guide, it should hang lower than your hips, an inch or two below your belt-line, but not all the way to your legs. That said, in certain circles, like skaters, oversized tees are all the rage. Arms Shoulder fit is the easiest way to tell if a t-shirt fits you right. The seam along the shoulders should extend across the centre of your shoulder to the very top of your arm. If that’s right, everything else should fall into place. Meanwhile sleeves should go halfway down your upper arm, though some men’s tees have stitched sleeves for a ‘muscle fit’, which is flattering to the definition of your biceps. Choosing a t-shirt according to style Slim Slim fit t-shirts are best for those after an athletic, “muscle” or body-hugging fit. This is a cut that will hug the body more tightly, with sleeves that will be tighter around the arms. For a really sporty fit, choose t-shirts that have a more elasticated material that means the sleeves can stretch around the arm muscles while keeping the rest of the t-shirt tight around the body . Classic The classic cut is smart and flattering, with well fitted shoulders and sleeves that have a comfortable amount of space around the arms. It should hang straight, just below the waist without excess material. Baggy The oversize t-shirt has become much more popular in recent years. You could choose a t-shirt specifically cut in this way – which means it will fit around the upper body better – or opt for a size or two bigger. While the baggy shirt has been associated with the skater or hip hop look, recently it’s become a smarter style too; a crisp oversized t-shirt in black or white can look just as smart when worn right. Other important tips Consider the fabric There are a range of fabrics to choose from, but 100% cotton is generally a safe bet. We like it here at ICON because it’s soft, strong and breathable. You might want to consider cotton blends, which are less likely to wrinkle or shrink in the wash, but with a quality, pre-washed cotton shirt, this shouldn’t be an issue. You want your t-shirt to fit even after frequent washing.

  in the topic Factors To Consider When Buying Impact Windows in Miami in the forum Support

  When you decide to replace your old windows with impact windows, there are a few factors that you should consider when buying impact windows miami. Design Pressure: The DP of a window is simply the amount of pressure that a window can withstand during a hurricane before the glass pops out of the frame. The BHPwindows has design pressure (DP) requirements for new impact windows. Solar Heat Gain Coefficient: The SHGC measures how well your window blocks the sun's heat. You will find this information on the fenestration label on your window. This is measured on a scale from 0.00 to 1.00, where 0.00 allows no heat to pass through your window and 1.00 allows 100% of the sun's heat to enter your home. Visible Transmittance: The VT measures how much of the sun's natural light is allowed to pass through your window. Even though you want some sunlight to enter your home, you will probably want to minimize the sun's blinding light that you may find during the day. This is also measured on a scale from 0.00 to 1.00 Manufacturer: There are a number of window supplier and manufacturers to choose from. A few of the more recognizable impact window manufacturers are PGT, CGI, ESW, Lawson and Mr Glass. There are a few factors to consider when deciding which one is best for you. Price, timeline, necessity, location and the type of structure are a few. Installation: And last but certainly not least, who will install your new windows. Most companies sell many of the same brands, so how do you decide on a contractor. Just remember, you can buy the best impact windows but if they are not installed properly you are just wasting your money. The simple fact is, the windows and doors you purchase are only as good as the company who installs them.

  in the topic 5 Things to Consider When Choosing an Electric Scooter in the forum Support

  Electric scooters, or e-scooters, represent a convenient mode of electric transportation with benefits that exceed mechanical alternatives. E-scooters are becoming increasingly popular and there are several things you should consider before choosing one. Compared to cars and motorcycles, electric scooters are environment friendly and affordable. You’ll travel faster and potentially farther on an e-scooter than you would walking or cycling and have fun doing so. Unlike bicycles, riding electric scooters requires little exertion, and you’ll arrive at your destination fresh for work or play.     This comprehensive electric scooter for adults buying guide explains the different classes and models available. Besides the cost, there are key factors to consider. Features to look for when comparing different models include design, maximum speed, motor power, scooter weight and weight limit. Also, depending on your intended use, you'll want to know the mileage you get on a full charge.   1. E-scooter design. When choosing an electric scooter, pick a design that’s appropriate for your weight and personal style. Brightly colored kids' electric scooters are appealing to children and teenagers, but adults may prefer models with muted colors. The design of an e-scooter goes beyond its aesthetic appeal and includes build quality and convenience features. These mostly determine the quality of your ride, as well as the cost and frequency of maintenance To find an electric scooter that’s the right fit for you, pay attention to these design features: wheel size, tire type, suspension and brakes. Understanding the importance of these parts helps you understand how electric scooters work. Wheel size. Large scooter wheels fit tires with diameters measuring 10 or more inches. Compared to small wheels of between 5 to 8 inches, bigger wheels have better grip, and many feature integrated hub motors that deliver additional power. Tire type. An e-scooter may use solid (airless) or pneumatic (air-filled) tires. Pneumatic tires offer smooth rides over uneven surfaces. However, they require maintenance, such as checking tire pressure and tread wear. Solid tires give e-scooters a longer distance range, as their pressure stays consistent. The choice of tires relates to choosing an e-scooter with or without a suspension system. Air-filled tires increase comfort on scooters without a suspension system, as they provide some cushioning. Suspension. The three types of suspension systems to consider when choosing an electric scooter are spring, rubber and hydraulic/air piston. For comfortable long rides, look for a model that uses a combination of spring and hydraulic/air piston systems for its suspension. Brakes. Like with any vehicle, the ability to stop quickly is a priority. The four main types of brakes used in e-scooters are foot, drum, disc and electric. Disc brakes provide the most reliable stopping power, but electric versions offer regenerative braking and require no maintenance.   2. Top speed. The maximum speed of an e-scooter is an important consideration if commuting is a priority. The top speed of an e-scooter describes how fast it’ll go at full throttle. Most electric scooters have top speeds between 20 and 30 mph. The actual top speed of a scooter depends on several factors, including the overall weight of the rider and scooter as well as the machine’s suspension and tires. To find out how fast a model goes, check the electric scooter manual. Consider your regular routes for work or exercise. Riding uphill, over rough terrain or in varying speed zones affects the top speed of different models. While going uphill requires a fast e-scooter, you may not need the fastest scooter for your daily ride. Look for a model that’s just fast enough to qualify for the bike lane and not so fast that you’ll require a license to ride it. Remember that no matter how fast your e-scooter goes, you should always wear protective safety gear during your ride   3. Motor power. Motor power is a key consideration for those wondering how electric scooters work. Most scooters have brushless DC motors attached to the wheels. A scooter may have a single- or dual-motor design. Generally, dual-motor scooters are more powerful and, therefore, faster. Manufacturers list the motor power of electric scooters in watts. For an adult electric scooter, the minimum motor power to look for is 250 watts. A scooter with this wattage can ride comfortably over flat ground and small hills. Those planning to ride their scooters to places with steep inclines should consider motors with 400 to 500 watts. For the fastest e-scooters available, look for performance models that have dual motors with a combined power of 1,000 watts or higher.   4. Weight. It’s important to note the scooter weight and rider weight capacity of the models you’re considering when choosing an electric scooter. The weight capacity of a scooter is the maximum load it can carry. Most e-scooters have weight capacities between 220 and 275 pounds. Riders that weigh more should look for models built for their weight, as it factors into the e-scooter's performance. Note that the more weight an e-scooter carries, the slower it will be. The weight of an electric scooter determines its maneuverability and portability. Heavier scooters are harder to turn when riding but feel more stable. However, heavier models can carry more weight than lighter models. Consider a foldable lightweight model when choosing an electric scooter if carrying and storing it is a factor.   5. Range. The range of an electric scooter is the maximum distance it can cover before running out of battery power. Other factors that can affect the range of an e-scooter are its weight, the average speed you're traveling and motor power. The weight of the rider and weather conditions also determine the real-world range of an e-scooter. Manufacturers quote e-scooter ranges under ideal conditions. It's unlikely your machine will run for as long as the rated range, but in perfect conditions, it is possible. Once you know what to consider when choosing an e-scooter, it's much easier to find the model that is best for your specific needs. However, before making a purchase, check your state and local laws to ensure that you'll be able to get the most enjoyment out of the scooter you choose.

  in the topic 5 Tips on Selecting the Right Hospitality Recruitment Agency in the forum Support

  At this point, you’ve probably already recognized the fact that you need external help in filling a job vacancy. Your HR team is busy juggling multiple tasks at the same time, but you need to source candidates for a certain position as soon as possible. Time is of the essence, especially for businesses! You can’t fully function when you lack a member, after all. No need to panic because that’s where recruitment agencies come in. You have dedicated staff to assist you in your hiring efforts from start to finish. They’ll see to it that they successfully facilitate this important talent acquisition process. 5 Tips on Selecting the Right hospitality recruitment agency 1. Narrow down your search on those that fit your criteria This is arguably the most most important step of all and would help you on the succeeding parts later on. First and foremost, what type of recruitment agency do you need? If it’s a temporary or contractual worker, then a staffing agency is the best option. How about top-level executives? Headhunting agencies are best in that area. If you’re looking for full-time employees, then the traditional recruiting firm is what you should search for. You have to remember that there are niche agencies, too. As opposed to general ones, this recruiter agency has the edge to find highly skilled talents who truly specialize in their fields. Why? Because they understand the talent gaps in the market and help fill positions faster by providing candidates best suited for such specialty roles. We wrote about the different types of recruitment agencies in detail here. Have a read to gain a better understanding. 2. Clearly explain your hiring needs The second step in selecting the perfect recruitment agency for your business is to elaborate on what your organization needs. It is best if you are as clear as possible about this so that they have a clear idea of what type of talent that you need. Plan before contacting them. Do you need to fill only one position? Or are there a lot? What role are you trying to fill? Is it a permanent or temporary job? Is it entry or management level? What kind of prior experience do you want them to have? These basic questions will help the firms lead you to the right talent accurately and precisely. Also, don’t be afraid to talk about your company, as well. There are lots of points to discuss: Company background Company mission and vision statement Company values Existing corporate culture Description of work environment and more! It may seem tedious to expound on such topics, but best believe that they are necessary if you truly want to get the best of the best in the market. 3. Interview the Recruitment Agency Don’t be shy to interview the recruiting agency like they are the candidate themselves. In the second step, you took the time for them to get to know your company. Now, it’s your turn to probe more about them. You can ask the following questions: How long has the agency been running? Who are you working for so far? How long does it take you to find the right talent? What is your hiring process? All of these will give you an immediate impression of whether or not they are capable of meeting your needs. Think about such queries and dig deeper into their background. This will reveal how prepared and professional they are, as well. 4. See how the recruiters work Asking about the agency is one thing, but knowing how their recruiters work is another. The fourth step in choosing the best recruitment agency is checking the experience of their staff. There are plenty of ways where you can go about this. You can talk to them directly and ask what their methods are. What do they do to pre-screen candidates? Is it in person or is it conducted online or via phone? You can also ask how they source candidates. Seeking actively on platforms such as LinkedIn, Facebook, and others are given. This is effective because you know that there are individuals there looking for employment. However, remember that they only represent a portion of the talent market. A good recruiter knows that there are more passive candidates in the world (70% as told by LinkedIn!), and these individuals can bring higher ROI than active candidates. They have more experience and they are what you can say “in demand” in a way. The challenge is that they are not really looking for a new job, but are interested in hearing more about other opportunities elsewhere. If the recruiter is capable, he/she will be able to convince them to move eventually. Be sure to remember this! You can also check testimonials and feedback on the internet. For sure, there will be reviews by clients stating their thoughts on working with them. They are movers of the firm. They should be strategic and persuasive enough to convince talent to join your company. 5. Ensure it’s within budget This probably is a no-brainer for businesses, but it's still important to highlight. Once you feel that they tick the aforementioned criteria, then check if you can afford their services. This is a vital step to consider. You’re already well-assured that they are able to provide you with high-quality talents, but it’s just a matter of discussing numbers. Talk to your hiring team and superiors about this. Will it be worth it? Is it still within budget? How badly do you need to fill the position? This can influence your decision. Alternatively, you can look at the prices of their services beforehand. Some may argue it’s a waste of time to get to know a recruitment agency and their recruiters, then finding out they are way too expensive. You can get such information listed on their website or via online reviews. You can also contact them directly and ask this firsthand. Inquire about their services, terms and conditions, and, again, pricing. Here’s a little backgrounder to give more insights about the costs of working with recruitment agencies. According to Deloitte, the average cost per hire is $4,000. It can be lower or higher, depending on the role and how you go about your recruiting processes. Now, the fees of a recruitment agency also vary depending on the position you want to fill. They take into account the following factors: Number of positions to be filled Type of industry to be filled Type of job position Type of job hire (full-time, part-time, etc.) The expected salary of the job position and many more! Generally, Undercover Recruiter said that they charge 15% to 25% of the prospective employee’s first-year salary. However, it can go as high as 50% if it’s a hard-to-fill role or if it’s a top-level position. That is how they calculate it. Don’t forget to look at the bigger picture. While it may seem costly at first, think about the return in the long run. As HR practitioners, we believe that each and every employee is an investment. You think about how they can contribute to the organization and you can base potential profit from there. It’s a tricky dilemma that will make or break your business. Don’t take this lightly!
