Hiring A Construction Accident Lawyer In Joliet, IL To Enforce OSHA Standards
OSHA outlines safety requirements for all construction and demolition projects. The state of Illinois enforces these standards as presented through statutes that apply to personal injuries, including worker's compensation cases. According to these federal and state laws and safety standards, the responsibility for maintaining a secure work environment rests firmly in the hands of the contractor coordinating and managing these projects. If you were injured or lost a loved one due to non-compliance of these regulations, hire a Construction Accident Lawyer in Joliet IL by contacting a law firm like Kipnis & Kahn LTD today.
Regulations and Standards for Construction Sites
The first requirement by OSHA pertaining to construction sites states that no employer or contractor can require a worker to perform work duties in areas that are dangerous to their safety or health, that are unsanitary, or that are in any way hazardous. The contractor or employer overseeing the project is required to take preventative action to avert all probabilities of an injury. It is further the responsibility of the employer to ensure that all safety policies and standards are followed throughout each phase of the work order.
Inspecting the Work Site
The employer or contractor performs a survey of the work area frequently to assess the presence of hazards. This doesn't include inspections at predetermined milestones by building code inspectors. Any risky areas that are discovered must be remedied before workers enter the area. If these discoveries are not managed properly and an injury occurs, the victim is within their rights to contact a construction accident lawyer and file a claim.
Acts of Negligence
All construction workers are to wear protective gear throughout the duration of the project as outlined in OSHA standards. A failure to provide adequate apparel for these workers makes the contractor or employer liable for any injuries that are sustained during the project. This includes footwear, protective clothing, and eyewear. A refusal to offer these items to workers could be considered an act of negligence if a worker is severely injured or killed.
State laws and OSHA standards are regulated throughout Illinois. All workers are protected under these regulations and are afforded with the right to perform duties in a safe and hazard-free environment. If you sustained an injury due to non-compliance, an act of negligence, or other avoidable occurrences, you should contact a Construction Accident Lawyer in Joliet IL promptly.

Last night I tried to motivate to put away my laundry by dumping my laundry basket full of clothes onto my bed. Inevitably I ended up putting all the clothes back into my basket, tossing it on the floor and getting into bed. No motivation. Feeling bla.
But this morning was a new day. Today was Ash Wednesday, the start of the Lenten season. I got up this morning and even before I had breakfast (I know, I'm not supposed to really be eating today, but so far that's all I've eaten) I put away my laundry, dusted, swept and tidied my room (a pretty deep clean I must say). If felt pretty good to do so. It was kind of setting a clean slate for the next 40 days so I can be more focused and calm. When your house is a mess and unruly (ok my desk is still in bad shape), it's difficult to find the peace that's needed to stay sane these days.
After the cleaning I got out my Daily Meditations booklet for Lent and read the first meditation for the season. Then I went to Mass. This Lent, I'm going to Church every week and every holy day in order to get back in tune with my religion and spirituality. I won't be giving up anything besides my time to give to God and Jesus. Today was a good start. Piccadilly is also happy as most of my cleaning focused on her cat area of my bedroom. It had gotten out of control.
Everything is clean and I'm ready to enjoy walking into my room again and not wishing I had a magic wand to clean it all.
What is everyone out there giving up for lent? Any thing exciting?

Do you see this in Internet Explorer? If so go to File, and down towards the bottom of the list you should see the option to change it back to Work Online. If that doesn't work then it sounds like you've lost your network connection.

MK Geek Night #1 - Wot I Learned (Part 2)
Welcome to part 2 of the Wot I Learned series for the very first MK Geek Night. This time I'll be covering the three 5 minute sessions.
So, this time around we have James Parker on "How Twitter Made Me A Better Designer", Kate Kenyon with "Cut The Crap: Slash and Burn Your Way to Better Content", and Code Club with "Hacking the Future".
Let's see Wot I Learned...
Kate Kenyon - Slash 'n' Burn Content Strategy
For the first of the 5 minute sessions, Kate Kenyon talked about a slash 'n' burn approach to content strategy. Straight from the off, Kate announced that there would be no slides, everything she wanted to say was about to pour out from her brain. And so it did, and in a very effective and engaging manner too.
I came away from the next 5 minutes with a full page of straight-to-the-point notes, and a couple of great quotes:
Cutting your website in half can make it far better. No-one cares that the MD is blogging about his personal interests on a corporate site, so why put it on their in the first place? A corporate website must aim to get its users to complete their goal as efficiently as possible, and it's the job of the site (and therefore the content) to help the user to do this.
It's like hunting through 5 floors of Harvey Nichols when you just want to buy a birthday card
Lean content = just enough to get the job done. Steve McQueen used to take his line, cut it in half, and then be able to convey the same message with his acting. He'd cut it in half again and would still be able to do the same. If you have the ability to convey a message with fewer words, surely those people looking to complete a certain action on your site are going to find it much easier to do so, especially when they don't have to wade through all the
crap extra content.
Let go of the extraneous content. If you can do this your website will become a greater business asset.
James Parker - How Twitter Made Me A Better Designer
A very punchy talk which was straight to the point. Actually, three main points:
- Confidence from a broader audience
- Have an opinion
- Improved research and development
These are the things that can make you a better designer (or a developer for that matter) when using Twitter.
Confidence from a broader audience - there's a huge amount of your peers out there, and pretty much all of them are happy to give you constructive criticism and to tell you how great your work is. Use that, but don't get cocky!
Have an opinion - Don't be afraid to go against the trends that appear. If you have an opinion, let it be known and make debate. You can always change your opinion, it is yours after all.
Improved research and development - For me, this has been the biggest influence in terms of my learning over the past couple of years. Endless links to great content, recommendations from your peers on tools of the trade and so much more. And if you find something yourself, don't forget to let everyone else know.
And mos importantly, dont forget to follow James Parker on Twitter!
Code Club - Hacking The Future
Code Club is a nationwide network of volunteer-led after school coding clubs for children aged 9-11.
This was a good presentation that really made you want to get involved in the project. If only I could spare the time...
Anyway, the Code Club website can do far more justice to this project than I can writing about it here, so go take a look.
The third and final part of Wot I Learned at MK Geek Night will be along soon (preferably before the next MKGN on 20th September, you can get your ticket here) featuring the wonderful stage presence that is Mr Brendan Dawes.

Traditional Career Development is Obsolete
It's Time to Upgrade Our Thinking and Act Differently
We live in the age of disruption and acceleration.
Career paths today are less linear and hard skills have a shorter shelf life than ever. Industries are being disrupted in bulk, forcing us to 'learn how to learn', to build resilience and increase our adaptability.
In this new environment, most professionals are forced to make more frequent career decisions and to demonstrate flexibility, learning how to develop the right skills and navigate professional changes on the go.
It is time we start crafting 'antifragile' professional careers.
"Some things benefit from shocks; they thrive and grow when exposed to volatility, randomness, disorder, and stressors and love adventure, risk, and uncertainty. Yet, in spite of the ubiquity of the phenomenon, there is no word for the exact opposite of fragile. Let us call it antifragile. Antifragility is beyond resilience or robustness. The resilient resists shocks and stays the same; the antifragile gets better" — Nassim Nicholas Taleb.
As we enter the 'age of change', we should drop traditional career development mantras and focus on becoming 'antifragile,' or 'luck ready,' to benefit (and not perish) from the increasing randomness and interconnection of today's world of work.
My Mission: To Help Executives Boost Their Professional Careers
Hi! I am Rafa.
I am an executive search and leadership development consultant, an executive coach and a career fitness professor. But this is far from being the only thing I have done in life. In fact, at 40 years of age, I am on my 6th professional career, an unusual path that has allowed me to learn (not always without pain!) about performance, change management and non-linear career development.
In my coaching practice, I partner up with high-potential executives who find themselves at critical inflexion points in their careers. My mission is to help them find the right job, achieve their most important professional goals, master career transitions or even completely reinvent themselves.
I combine my non-traditional 20-year track record as a professional racing driver (1998 Spanish Formula 3 Champion), as an investment banker, and as a 3x founder, with my passion for professional development and my training as a certified executive and organisational coach under the Columbia Coaching Certification Programme.

LANHAM, Md. (WJZ) — While the company who makes those cream-filled snacks, may be getting a new lease on life, a local bakers' union is speaking about what happened with Hostess.
Christie Ileto has the latest details.
The bakers' union in Lanham says the workers simply made too many concessions over the years and enough was enough. Now the union says they're hoping a new company will buy out Hostess and our favorite treats will live to see another bite.
Hang in there. That's what Bakers Union Local 118 in Lanham is telling their members Monday.
"We're asking them to keep going to work, the ones that are in the thrift stores, until they hear back from us," said Thomas Johnson, a union member who's been with Hostess for 33 years.
Last Friday, Hostess announced it would close its doors for good after failing to reach terms with its bakers' union that's been on strike for more than a week, saying, "We do not have the financial resources to weather an extended nationwide strike."
"We've given concessions over the past several contracts," said Allen Haight. "They've continued to demand more and severe ones this time around."
Haight says this time, workers' pensions were on the line and workers are not to blame.
"We didn't create it; management did," he said.
Hostess management spent Monday in a New York bankruptcy court to start selling itself. That process has been adjourned until Wednesday.
While production remains shut down, customers are cleaning out the shelves of Hostess thrift stores.
"I looked for the Ho-Hos and the fudge cookies and I couldn't find them," said Sarah Cox.
As of mid-Monday at the Hostess bakery thrift stop in Glen Burnie, Ho-Hos, Twinkies, Raspberry Zingers…pretty much everything was sold out except for iced honey buns and Susie Q's.
"I didn't count; I just grabbed a tray," said Scott Ambrose.
Some items like Twinkies are selling for as much as $80 online.

Proceedings PaperSubmicron defect detection standard for patterned wafer inspection systems
|Member Price
|Non-Member Price
Paper Abstract
Automated defect detection equipment have been used extensively for patterned wafer inspection in the semiconductor industry. These systems are used to find a variety of patterning and process defects on silicon wafers, before device completion, so that action may be directed toward eliminating the cause of the defects. The method of detection that each type of inspection system uses varies significantly, as does its performance when inspecting an assortment of patterns and materials. Standard materials to quantify the performance of inspection systems are not available, and as a result, a myriad of pseudo-standards are used to measure and compare performance. The suppliers of patterned wafer inspection systems routinely provide `standards' with which to test and qualify their equipment. Generally, programmed `defects' embedded within generic test patterns are reproduced from a mask onto a silicon wafer using standard deposition, lithographic, and etch processes. These `standard test wafers' are of limited value for the task of quantifying the performance of the inspection equipment for several reasons. The photolithographic techniques that are most often used to produce programmed `defects' on test wafers provide for the construction of only one broad type of `defect.' This one type represents a very small sample of the variety of real defects that the detection system is expected to find during actual wafer inspections. Therefore, it is not possible to quantify the performance of the system relating to the other types of real defects. The limitations of the lithography prevent precise control over the shape and dimensions, (and even the reproduction), of sub-micron `defects.' The patterns and materials used for the `standard' are generally not representative of actual semiconductor product wafers, on which real inspections are to be done. Test patterns are generally single level, and high-contrast, with relatively large geometries. `Defects' are reproduced in the same plane as the test pattern, and at the same thickness as the material in which the pattern is being defined. Whereas the sensitivity performance of the detection system may be suitable on the test pattern, relative performance during inspections on real product wafers with complex multilevel patterns of sub-micron geometries cannot be inferred. An alternate method for producing and qualifying `standards' for patterned wafer defect detection system evaluation that represents a significant enhancement over existing methods has been developed. This method utilizes a focused ion beam, (FIB), to fabricate the `defects' directly onto real production semiconductor wafers. The use of an FIB to place milled and deposited `defects' onto a patterned wafer is a new application of this technology. The capabilities of the FIB provide unique potential to address many of the common problems with existing patterned wafer defect standard generation and application.

After presumably completing the high end tenure in the GTX 900 series, seems like Nvidia is focusing more on the mid-range series. The company has already launched GTX 960 and teasing the GTX 950 for quite some time, Nvidia has finally broken the silence and launched the GTX 950 for a spectacular price, the GTX 950 will cost $160, that's an amazing price considering how the GTX 750Ti retails at $120 and GTX 960 retails at $200.
The GTX 950 seems to be a really good choice for gamers who are not willing to spend much and are mostly into games like League of Legends or Defence of The Ancients (DoTA).
You can checkout the specs of the Geforce GTX 950 below.
- CUDA cores: 768.
- Base clock: 1024 MHz (1188 boost)
- Memory clock: 6.6 GHz.
- Texture units: 48.
- ROP units: 32.
- TDP: 90w.
The GTX 950 will be retailing at $!60 as we said earlier, impressive specs aside, the GPU will be supporting the Feature Level 12_1 of DX12, this means that the GPU will be supporting the upcoming DX12 games fully.
For more information, stay tuned.

BizTalk Server Configuration - BizTalk Group Creation Failure
I was recently installing a new BizTalk Server 2010 mult-server implementation, where the SQL server installation resides on a separate server to the BizTalk server installation(s) and I ran into a problem when attempting to configure the first server in the BizTalk Group. I was able to succesfully set up the configuration, but when applying the configuration the tool was unable to create the BizTalk Group. The SSO set up completed successfully, and looking at the SQL server a number of BizTalk Databases ......

I recently heard an executive attribute his success to learning that sometimes to fix a problem you need to make it bigger. This rattled around in my head for a while and then it started making some kind of sense.
Simply stated, some problems just seem to linger unsolved until someone or something suddenly escalates them to a larger scale. And sometimes this escalation of the problem actually becomes part of the solution.
For example, firefighters will start a controlled downwind backburn designed to eliminate fuel for an oncoming wildfire. In essence, they're creating more fire to fight a fire. And everyone familiar with oncology knows that this happens every day in cancer treatment. Patients are injected with serums or exposed to radiation that the body may react to as poisons, in expectation that the other components of the injections or radiology are lifesaving.
Not all examples are matters of life-and-death. Looking at the public sector, I had the misfortune of living through "a strategic expansion of a problem" during the Big Dig in Boston which completely restructured the interstate and local roadways in one of the most heavily trafficked urban intersections in the country. The construction work was carried out between 1991 and 2006 and the project concluded on December 31, 2007. The infrastructure was horrible prior to the project and became even worse for 16 years until the completion. Now? Most Massachusetts milennials only known how delightful it is to travel to the airport from the suburbs while their parents know much different.
History tells me that IT professionals frequently go through similar, albeit less dramatic, choices in their careers. In fact, volumes have been written about whether the deployment of a new technology improved a situation or made it worse in the shorter term.
Virtually every enterprise has gone through a corporate backburn in the migration of email systems. Many of us have been through every permutation of changing between Outlook, Notes, Gmail, etc. And do I even need to mention migrating between Oracle, Salesforce, Sybase, SQL or DB2?
Despite what a vendor sales representative may have told you, the purposeful increase of organizational pain and anguish during the transitional periods these kinds of migrations require are not for the faint at heart.
With the new realization that I have made a career of fighting business wild fires with corporate backburns, I think there are three key components to being successful when attempting to strategically expand the problem:
- Communication: Executives often drastically underestimate the amount of communication that must occur with employees and customers during the backburn period. Think about the helpdesk implications before, during and after an email or key database migration. Enterprises are equally as critical about the quality and frequency of communication needed from the vendor during these transitions.
- Talent: There are employees who thrive on chaotic change and they become invaluable during this process. Many business hire these firefighting mercenaries specifically for the transition as they quickly get bored with normalcy.
- Clients: Customers who have gone through their own corporate backburns tend to be more resilient during your pain period. They understand the current pain for later competitive advantage theory. Unfortunately, you should understand that many other customers will be more conservative about disruption and could get cold feet — if they think their subsequent migration to a competitor will be less painful than the one you're undergoing.
Have you had a corporate backburn or strategic problem expansion case in your enterprise, successful or otherwise? Comment below.

I graduated from Cleveland High School in 1988. I then attended Hiawassee Jr. College for the next two years with a liberal arts degree in 1990. From there, I attended the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga to complete my bachelor's degree in elementary education, graduating in 1993. I am presently working on my master's in library science for Middle Tennessee State University and anticipate graduating in the fall of 2017.
I discovered the joy of teaching very early in life. As a high school student, mentored preschool students and they stole my heart! After college graduation, I took a part-time job teaching art at an elementary school. Over the last 15 years, I have taught second through fifth grades at Woodmore Elementary School, served as an instructional coach at Valley View Elementary, and currently I am the media specialist at Charleston Elementary (by far my favorite job yet!)
I am surrounded by a personal basketball team. My husband, Chuck, and I have been married for 13 years and have four boys. We spend time hiking, boating, and attending our boys' sporting events. Anytime with my family is time well-spent. However, boating is most enjoying since I love outdoors and can curl up with a good book.

January is Hot Tea Month
I spoke to enthusiastic audiences recently in Illinois, North Carolina, and Kentucky. Several basic tea questions seem to pop up at every appearance over the years. Here are a few of my frequently asked tea questions put into six steps for better tea enjoyment.
Clean out your old teas
Yes, tea does have a shelf life. That tin of tea you bought at Harrods in 1995 is past its prime. Toss the tea leaves on your garden and keep the tin as a memory of your London experience, or better yet, fill it with new tea and reach for it more often. Old tea won't hurt you but it will taste flat and flavorless.
Invest in a kettle
I am amazed at the number of people who ask me how long they should microwave their tea water! Let's get down to basics – if you want to make good tea you have to have a proper kettle. You can invest as little as $20 for a simple electric model or $35-$75 for a solid stove top kettle. There's even an Asian kettle that sells for under $50 and doubles as a kettle or teapot. A good kettle will change your life!
Filter your water
I wrote a story about good water for tea in a previous blog. It boils down to this, get the chlorine and iron out of your water. In most instances, a simple counter top filtered pitcher will suffice. I use an under-the-counter two-stage filter for my water at home that cost under $100. Don't use bottled distilled water because it has no minerals and avoid most spring waters because they have too much mineral content. Bottled drinking water usually has the best balance of minerals for tea.
Buy a teapot or two
Your tea will taste better if you brew it in a pot rather than a cup or mug. I suggest a small porcelain or iron pot for single users and a larger 4-6 cup pot for sharing tea with friends. After all, tea is the universal beverage that brings people together. There is no better way to show hospitality than to share a pot of tea on a cold day in January!
Switch from teabags to loose tea
Americans have fallen in love again with great loose teas. The taste is far superior to bagged teas. Plus the proliferation of so many infuser baskets, brewing sacks, and other infusing devices has made steeping easy. Anyone can steep tea at home or in the office. It's not rocket science!
Water temperature matters
Every tea family has a optimum steeping temperature and time. It's easy to remember that the darker the tea leaves, the hotter the water. Here's a simple guide to the four tea families:
- Black tea: 4-5 minutes at 212° F
- Oolong tea: 2-4 minutes at 195°-205° F
- Green tea: 2-4 minutes at 175° F
- White tea: 3-5 minutes at 165° F
My benediction for you during these cold days of winter is to go forth and make good tea!

Just a quick note to all: we're having our Wednesday service in our usual mid-week location, at the Eastern Bank community room. That address is 687 Centre St, Jamaica Plain.
We begin at 7:35 EDT. If you'd like to listen and/or share by phone from wherever you are, our conference call digits (always found on the top-right of our website) are (605) 475-4000 x 636128. Come one, come all!
And a little bit of testimony candy for you: here's a beautiful experience of healing through Christian Science that was published in the Christian Science Sentinel last fall: "Gratitude and the healing of cancer".
The author shares, at one point, the following inspiration that came during her healing:
"Thank you, dear God! I feel cleansed and purified. It was never my job to be a perfect mortal. It was always to be the clear and pure transparency of Your love."

Idris releasing Mandela-inspired LP
LONDON: Idris Elba is releasing an album inspired by Nelson Mandela after he played the South African statesman in the biopic Long Walk To Freedom. The British actor, who also starred in US cop drama The Wire and UK crime series Luther, has teamed up with South African musicians to make mi Mandela - an album inspired by the anti-apartheid pioneer who died last year. Idris said the idea came out of his research for the role when he started listening to traditional South African music, adding: ' South Africa has numerous different tribes and each one has a musical expression, and each one has a very unique, different sound style. 'At the time I had my studio at the apartment I was staying in while I was making Mandela - a little keyboard, a laptop - and as an experiment to myself, I vowed to keep making music.'–BEL
Sheeran told off over 1D songs
LONDON: Ed Sheeran has revealed how writing hit songs for One Direction got him in trouble with his record label. The chart-topping singer, who penned Moments and Little Things for the X Factor boyband, admitted he defied Atlantic Records, who had been 'annoyed' that his best-performing song had been recorded by someone else. He told Australian radio station Nova's Kent 'Smallzy' Small: 'I wasn't gonna do it... Basically, my record label got very annoyed that my first Number One was a song that I gave to someone else, and they were kind of like 'Don't do it'.' Ed said he initially turned down a request from Simon Cowell to write a track for the group's forthcoming album, Four, after hearing his label's complaints, but changed his mind when inspiration struck him in Copenhagen.–BEL .
Lindsay Lohan fluffs lines on stage
New York: Lindsay Lohan missed some of her lines when she made her West End debut in Speed-the-Plow, according to reports. The actress took the stage in David Mamet's play and, according to a review from The Daily Beast, the star had the audience giggling when she forgot a few lines. 'On the first night of previews, a work-in-progress feel is to be expected. But halfway through the second act of Speed-the-Plow, the audience was openly laughing at Lohan's struggle to grasp Mamet's sharp, trademark dialogue,' Nico Hines writes. But he also added that Lohan remained charming throughout, that this was 'no car crash' and that her return marks a modest return to the spotlight after years of court appearances and tales of unrest on set. I've been bad' and much of her performance was fine.–BFT
Stewart sued for breaking fan's nose
LAS VEGAS: A soccer ball kicked into the crowd by Rod Stewart at his Las Vegas concert has bounced back at the singer in the form of a lawsuit. A 53-year-old Southern California man who says he has lingering injuries after his nose was broken by the ball has filed the suit. Mostafa Kashe's civil negligence complaint alleges that he didn't expect to be hit in the face by a ball kicked by the raspy-voiced British singer from the stage during a show at the Caesars Palace resort in October 2012. Representatives of Stewart, promoter AEG Live and Caesars Entertainment Corp. didn't immediately comment Wednesday on the lawsuit filed against them on Monday in Nevada's Clark County District Court. Michael Roth, of AEG Live, said his firm had not yet been served with the complaint. Kashe, an electrical engineer from Diamond Bar, California, seeks unspecified damages of at least $10,000 plus attorney fees.–DM
Streisand makes history with No 1 albums
LOS ANGELES: Barbra Streisand made music history on Wednesday by becoming the only performer to have a No 1 album in each of the past six decades, as her latest release "Partners" topped the US Billboard 200 chart. The album sold 196,000 copies in its first week, according to sales figures compiled by Nielsen SoundScan. With her latest hit, Streisand also became the only female artist to grab the No. 1 spot on the Billboard album chart on 10 different occasions. She now holds fourth place on the list of acts with the most No. 1 albums, tailing The Beatles' 19 chart-toppers, Jay Z's 13 records and Bruce Springsteen's 11. Streisand's first No. 1 album came almost exactly 50 years ago when "People" hit No. 1 on the chart dated Oct. 31, 1964, Billboard said.–Reuters

Sen. Kevin de Leon, who represents Vernon, is asking leaders to adopt aggressive reforms that would allow the city to remain and its businesses to continue operating.
One of the top priorities of Assembly Speaker John Perez is an anti-corruption bill, which seeks to eliminate Vernon and incorporate it into L.A. County.
The bill, AB46, passed through the Assembly but is meeting resistance in the Senate.
The industrial city has fewer than 100 residents and more than 1,800 businesses.
Perez claims Vernon is corrupt just like the nearby city of Bell, where eight former officials face criminal charges involving the mishandling of millions of dollars in city funds.
Three former top Vernon officials have been convicted of public corruption.
De Leon initially co-authored Perez's bill, but in his letter to City Administrator Mark Whitworth, he said he is worried about more than 55,000 jobs that could be lost if the city is dissolved and businesses flee the area.
Among the changes de Leon cites as necessary are adopting a new charter that would establish uniform term limits for council members; set salary and benefit limits for city officials; and establish an open and competitive bidding process for city contracts.
He also wants the city to set up an independent housing commission and build 50 new housing units to double the electorate, and to establish an environmental fund that would "help mitigate the decades of noxious air released from Vernon."

BostonHerald.com features CWT Wine Ambassador Fiona Coxe
Today, BostonHerald.com features CWT in a piece including an interview with our very own Fiona Coxe. Along with Chief Wine Ambassador Wes Narron, Coxe discusses turning a passion into a career.
Sometimes you take advantage of career opportunities because you are looking for a major change, and others because it's just time to do something you enjoy (and make a little money while doing it). Such was the case for Fiona Coxe. She has channeled her passion for wine into running tours in the Boston area for City Wine Tours.
Her workplace employs wine lovers in the Hub and environs, providing them with an opportunity to share their wine enthusiasm and earn some money in the process.
Wes Narron, chief wine ambassador, said the opportunity to work for City Wine Tours gives him and other wine lovers the chance to pass on their knowledge.
"The only way you get to improve your knowledge of wine is to drink a lot of it," Narron said. "It's a matter of tasting it."
Narron described wine ambassadors as people who tend to be adventurous eaters who are not afraid to taste all kinds of things and want to have their own "first-hand perception of identifying tastes and aromas."
Coxe met Narron several years ago when she was approached to write a review about City Wine Tours for her blog, A Boston Food Diary.
"The timing didn't work at the time," she said, "but years later as I was beginning my own wine studies, the opportunity presented itself again and I was able to attend."
She immediately fell in love with the tour, which she described as a "mix of education and fun."
"It took what can be a stuffy subject and made it uncomplicated and approachable.

It is very *useful* at this point in history for many things – and statistics and averaging is very *useful* – however, it has its limitations. This is where I prefer a viewpoint of Engineering over Science. Avoid the randomness issue altogether and stick with what we can *work* with. Work around the stuff we don't know yet. Statistics and averages can't build a machine, but careful attention to detail, can. We can't yet predict where the moon will be next month for certain; only an average. We have an awful long way to go in measurement and in our formulas. It's far easier to predict things that are far away from us than it is to predict things that are close at hand. They're fun and useful as approximations but they are nearly always wrong as we come up to whatever the event in question is.

Fancy a fizzy, citrus cocktail with a hint of cherry? The shandy is a refreshing summertime drink, enjoyed all over Europe.

- A pint of Erdinger Weissbier or other wheat beer

While certain segments of the commercial printing industry have recently faced challenges, the packaging segment has remained robust. A recent study commissioned by Ink Type, projects that the packaging printing market will exceed $580 Billion by 2020. Mintel, a leading marketing research firm, has isolated several manufacturing trends that should continue throughout the rest of the decade.
At Post Press Specialties, we've seen firsthand the profound changes that the printing packaging industry has undergone over the last twenty years. We've invested in the latest enhancement to print and finishing technologies (MGI 3D Spot Varnish Press and 57" Young Shin Die-cutter) in order to continually serve commercial printers nationwide.
Here's a look at how the next generation of packaging will engage customers in the next few years:
Engaging customers on a personal level – Brands are always looking for ways to connect with their customers. Digital and variable print technologies allow manufacturers to provide packaging that is tailored to specific demographics. Coca-Cola did this brilliantly with their "Sharing a Coke" campaign. By printing proper names on individual bottles, they created an emotional connection with the end user. As Mintel points out:
The unique capabilities of digital printing have captured the attention of retailers, brand owners, and packaging converters around the world. Brought into the global mainstream limelight by the tremendous success of Coca-Cola's "Share a Coke" campaign, digital printing is capturing brands' attention by creating opportunities to engage consumers on a local, personal, or even emotional level. With 1 in 5 US Millennials seeking custom or personalized packaging, and nearly one quarter of Chinese consumers indicating they would pay more for personalized soft drink packaging, digital printing is positioned to grow well beyond industry estimates that it's already accounting for 10% of packaging decoration globally.
Mintel believes 2016 will be the tipping point for digital package printing, as brands and package converters begin to move beyond using digital primarily for limited editions and personalization, and begin to capitalize on its economic and speed-to-market advantages for mainstream package decoration.
Flexible Packaging – Walk through any grocery store and you'll see a myriad of products with flexible packaging. Mintel explains why:
No longer is flexible packaging (specifically pouches) is considered a compromise. Presently, 32% of consumers associate flexible packaging with being modern, and brands are tapping into flexibles' nearly unparalleled decoration and marketing opportunities. Add to that the ability to incorporate nearly any functional component of flexibles' rigid counterpart, and the result is 56% growth in the launches of CPG flexibles according to Mintel's Global New Products Database (GNPD) between 2010 and 2014. But at what point will flexible packaging, especially stand up pouches, become non-differentiated? And what should brand owners be thinking about next?
In 2016 while brands will still be looking to pouches to capture consumers' attention, the truly innovative brands will be looking to the next generation of rigid/flexible hybrids that offer functional and environmental benefits alongside great shelf presence.
We want more! No wait, we want less – Sometimes consumers want more of a product, sometimes less. Consumers are always on the lookout for better bulk value when it comes to commodity items like milk and bread. However, health conscious consumers are becoming more receptive to smaller "trial size" packages when it comes to snacks and cereals. Per Mintel's study:
Families around the world are seeking value in larger container sizes for milk. Meanwhile, 39% of UK consumers would like to see a wider range of smaller bottles of alcoholic beverages. As evident by the 50% of health-conscious snackers saying they'd be willing to try a new product if it comes in a small, trial-size pack, as brands' product portfolios grow, the ability to reach consumers in unique and time-shifting use occasions means brand-owners must offer a greater range of pack sizes – both larger and smaller. In 2016, following such major downsizing strategies as those by Kellogg in 2015, if brand-owners are to overcome the growing lack of consumer brand loyalty, they must create and deliver packaging that consumers see as right-sized for themselves, their families, and shifting use occasions.
Offering creative enhancements to packaging over the last twenty years has made Post Press Specialties one of the Midwest's largest and most respected binderies.
Eco Friendly – While most consumers are receptive to brands offering eco-friendly packaging, they don't want to pay more for it. This has become a problem for manufactures, especially when they are faced with environmental regulations that dictate packaging constraints. Mintel offers this interesting take:
Brands are searching for environmentally responsible packaging options, consumers are putting the onus on brands to do right by doing good by the Earth. The difficulty is that while consumers want it all, they generally aren't willing to pay more to get it, and even basic recycling is too difficult for many. Despite best efforts, package recycling is well below its potential, and most consumers don't have a real understanding of what to do with compostable packaging. But what is beginning to resonate are two key initiatives: a focus on alternative package material sources and catering to the 63% of US consumers who've stated that reusable and repurposable packaging is a key purchasing driver they see as being yet another link in the long and complex green packaging chain.
When product price and perceived product quality are equal, consumers will be increasingly turning to these eco- and alternative-use attributes as the deciding purchasing factor. Going forward, brands cannot afford to ignore this "ecologically friendly" purchasing driver as they develop their brand positioning and marketing strategies.
Post Press Specialties has become Kansas City's largest bindery by keeping abreast of market trends and offering creative and innovative print enhancement solutions for over twenty years. Call us at 816-257-1919 and we'll be happy to help you with your next project.
