It has reached a new plateau. UPS is
now offering in-store printing of 3D objects for its customers. It
is the first nationwide retailer to offer 3D printing services
in-store. Other local and regional stores have been set up around
the country specifically to offer 3D printing with varying degrees
of success, but having a national brand offering the printing
service brings a shift from concept to mainstream.
UPS' experiment with in-store 3D printers worked and now has
expanded the availability of 3D printing services to over 100
locations across the US, including Hawaii. Customers can print
everything from accessories, architecture, functional prototypes,
and one-of-a-kind gadgets.

Package Delivery
In 1907 in Seattle a teenager named Jim Casey borrowed $100 from his friend, Claude Ryan, and started a local delivery service named American Messenger Company. They provided round-the-clock customer service with courtesy, reliability and low rates.
In 1913 they merged with Mac McCabe and formed Merchants Parcel Delivery. It was the first company to consolidate packages with similar street destinations on one delivery truck. The trucks were painted dark brown color to portray a professional appearance.
They expanded to Oakland and Los Angeles, California. and changed the name to United Parcel Service. UPS now operates a small package and document network in more than 200 countries and can reach over four billion people.”

Six Great Google Tricks
We all know Google is great for searches, but here are a few tips to make your online life simpler.
If you want to track a USPS, UPS, or FedEx package, no need to go to their site, just type in the tracking code to find out where your package is.
How about that flight? Just type in an airline flight number to get its arrival/departure status.
If you need a quick stock quote, just type in the stock symbol.
Are you looking for a movie? Type in movies followed by your city name.
Wondering if it will rain today? Type in weather followed by your zip code.
Last, don't forget to use the quote marks for names, like "chuck norris" or "liberty bell" to get the whole name.
