We have been Vicinity Manufacturing clients for several years, but this was our first opportunity to meet with other craft breweries and discuss our industry specific software needs. I gained a deeper appreciation of the value of our software investment while making new connections with other breweries.

The VicinityBrew team helped us gain an in-depth knowledge of how to more fully utilize the software's current capabilities, as well as where opportunities will exist to implement future technologies." Said Andrew Thorn, Director of Finance, Flying Dog Brewery.

Sex crime allegations filed against California coach

2013-06-12

Allegations of a criminal sexual offense are disorienting. For a coach or teacher, sex offense charges alone can ruin a career. Responses by a school vary, but suspension of the accused coach or teacher is common pending investigation. In addition, the state licensing board can immediately suspend a teaching license. This could all occur before formal criminal charges are filed. Stigma from a California sexual assault allegation - even if charges are later dropped or a trial results in a not guilty verdict - may still end a career working with children or the vulnerable. The ...

Who is liable after a slip-and-fall at a New Jersey commercial building?

2013-06-12

Slip resistance testing is a scientific field that studies slippery floors. Why is this important? Many commercial buildings need to consider installing safe floor coverings that hold up after use and cleaning and reduce the number of slip-and-fall accidents injuries in heavily trafficked areas. Falls are a leading cause of emergency room visits and more than one million slip-and-fall injuries are reported across the country each year. It may seem counterintuitive, but a shiny floor is often less slip resistant (a good thing) than a dull finish. This ties in with maintenance ...

The driver fatigue study was conducted by the Virginia Tech Transportation Institute. For the study, data was collected from 100 commuters in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area. The study was unique because it was ...

As kids go back to school, Texas police step up school zone enforcement

2013-06-12

With the return to school each fall comes the increased need for Texas drivers to be aware of school zone traffic laws and be vigilant in observing them -- both to protect the safety of schoolchildren and to avoid the potential legal consequences of school zone violations in Texas. Texas drivers who violate school zone laws can face steep penalties, even if no accident results from the violation. And, as with any traffic violation or other offense, ignorance of the law is a poor defense. Therefore, it is wise for Texas drivers to be aware of school zones and familiarize ...
