Some bristle materials are perfect for hardwood while some aren’t, and specific design elements affect how well a broom functions and performs specific tasks. Features to Look for When Choosing the Best Broom for Hardwood FloorsĪll brooms perform the same function, which is cleaning, but there’s a ton of difference between each one.

Stiff bristles are the most common cause of scratches that make your hardwood floor dull over time. The stiffness of a broom’s bristles can fall on any level of the spectrum.

With PCE and core PCE both declining in June, this echoes the recent slowdown in the headline US inflation rate which has fallen to 3pc, the lowest level since March 2021, and not far off the Fed’s 2pc target. The US PCE price index points to further signs of cooling price pressures stateside. I’ll leave you with the thoughts of Victoria Scholar, head of investment at Interactive Investor, who explains why the drop in US price pressures shines a light on the UK’s persistent inflationary problem. “More hikes are likely necessary from the Bank of England with inflation still stuck close to 8pc, more than twice as high as that of the US.” Victoria Scholar, head of investment at Interactive Investor, said: “The drop in US price pressures shine a light on the UK’s persistent inflationary problem.

Under the direct quotation, changes in the exchange rates are inversely related to the changes in the value of the home currency. Thus, the direct exchange rate becomes higher and the home currency is depreciating. If the home currency becomes less valuable, a lesser amount of foreign currency is needed to exchange for the same amount of home currency. The more valuable is the home currency, the smaller amount of this currency is needed to exchange for a foreign currency. In direct quotation, also known as price quotation, the exchange rate of the home currency is expressed as equivalent to, for example, 1 or 100 units of the foreign currency. Indirect quotation: foreign currency in terms of the domestic currency.Direct quotation: domestic currency in terms of foreign currency.There are two common ways to quote exchange rates: direct and indirect quotations. For example, an exchange rate of 84 Japanese yen to the Canadian dollar means that ¥84 is worth the same as CAD 1. If you sell to Europe, you will need a GB EORI number which takes 5-10 minutes (plus an XI one for Northern Ireland) and for all overseas sales, you will need HS tariff codes for the items you are selling - this is done by you by working through a long list of options and choosing the relevant sections for your products.The exchange rate between two currencies also known as a foreign exchange rate (FX rate) specifies the value of one currency in terms of another currency for the purpose of conversion. If you buy your postage labels online using Click & Drop, you can set up all the necessary customs settings so that the CN22 customs form will autofill most of the information for you on International orders. You need to earn enough that you are able to build up a contingency pot to cover replacements for lost or faulty goods (not that this should be a regular thing) and make it worth your time doing all the hard work in the first place. Buyers will often end up paying more for International postage than the goods as my price point is lower than many - this is likely to be the case on your smaller items but don't underprice the P&P as this eats into your profit. I have a flat rate postage charge for all countries broken down into, UK, Europe & Everywhere else which covers all my charges and allows me to upgrade to a tracked service for larger orders if I choose to. I can't go into more details as you haven't specifically asked for a shop critique but please do a search online or in this forum, you'll find lots of information on this. If you are thinking of selling to the US and other countries, add sizes of your pieces in inches as well as centimetres as this is what Americans use and you also urgently need to add all the necessary shop return/refund/privacy policies (even if you are only selling to the UK) to make you compliant with UK selling laws - this is for your protection as well as the buyer's. ![]() ![]() ![]() I would also look at raising your P&P charge too as since the post prices went up in January, you don't have much extra on this to cover your packaging materials or Etsy charges on shipping so you must be making a loss here too. I also think the prices for your ornaments is too low - once the fees and material costs are taken out, you cannot be making any money on these. ![]() ![]() ![]() When it comes to caramel drinks at Starbucks, the coffee chain offers way more than the classic Caramel Macchiato.

Montage synths produce amazing sound playback and complex sound design from two sound engines. The MODX6 is a good choice for a synthesist looking for an instrument that travels safely and easily and can produce unique sound design capabilities. Meant to be a portable synth, the MODX packs in plenty of effects and sounds to choose from. We will see it in October.Yamaha’s MODX collection was developed with the same sound technology in the popular Montage synthesizers. I’m curious about what the MONTAGE synth workstation has and how much it differs from the current model. This leaked during the trademark registration process in 2022. I am almost sure that the next-gen of the MONTAGE will feature the new AN-X engine. That’s pretty nothing for a synth workstation. Hopefully also with more memory as the current Montage only has 1.75GB of user memory. But I assume that the hardware will be changed, maybe with more hardware control and a better screen.
