Occupy Wall-Street and Corporate Reform
I would like Occupy Wall-Street to push for corporate reform. Corporations are not people and should not be given special privileges. Corporations should not be allowed to own stock in other corporations. And here is why… (more…)
Nexus software review
“Nexus is a business management system for recyclers developed by AEON Blue Software & Development. Nexus is used by recycling centers, scrap yards, metal recyclers and exporters, smelting plants and paper processors across the United States.[citation needed] The software is in its second generation and has received consistent accolades from industry magazines such as Recycling Today[1][2][3], Scrap[4], Waste Advantage[5][6] and SDB Magazine[7].”

I’m not totally happy with the program. It does print nice tickets. We used to have to use the calculator to figure all the tickets. Having a program figure the tickets has eliminated the problem of calculation errors. And I used to have to enter every ticket into QuickBooks. I no longer have to do that. Big time saver.
The reports have greatly improved since we purchased the program.
When we bought the program, I was told that all the reports were custom. I had to tell them every single report that I wanted and they would write that into the program. I do not like that and hope that they have changed to having standard reports with the program. All scrapyards want mostly the same reports. We do not need them custom for our company. And try to think of every report you need for the entire year in the next five minutes…. You may not know you need a report until you need it NOW!
I had trouble with the Leads report. This is the report we submit to the police daily. I had to work around it by putting the drivers license in the second line of the address. We were told that it would be easy to have the program look up the names of vendors and check to see if they are on the do-not-buy list. Not so easy… We’re still waiting.
Would I recommend that you purchase the program for your scrapyard? Maybe. I can’t say “yes” yet.
But in all fairness, the software is constantly being improved. They have been very good about handling emergency problems that we have had during regular business hours.
Working with the Ones You Love, Conflict Resolution & Problem Solving Strategies for a Successful Family Business”
I got the book “Working with the Ones You Love, Conflict Resolution & Problem Solving Strategies for a Successful Family Business” by Dennis T. Jaffe, Ph.D, 1990, Cornari Press, from the Columbus Public Library. I thought the book was pretty good.
Managing Workplace Negativity, by Gary S. Topchik, Amacom, 2001 – I got the book from the Columbus Public Library. (more…) The Everything Job Interview Book, Answer the toughest job interview questions with confidence by Bob Adams, Adams Media Corporation, 2001 I got this book from the Columbus Public Library. I thought the book was well done and fairly up-to-date since I read it 7 years after it was written. I found the part about good questions to ask the employer most helpful.
