With that said . . . what is next on the horizon at PacTec? Currently, we are working on the new UK and Philippines websites as well as the company Facebook page. We are working with @AdamCulpepper and his crew at @Transformyx. I recommend following them on Twitter! What we have coming online with them is going to be really great.

We will also be at Waste Management Symposium 2011 in Phoenix in late February! We will be at booth 720, so please come by and say hello! We will have a bag on hand that is the same bag that was on the History Channel!

FRIDAY FUN FACTS! - Television

Did you know:

In year 1926, J.L. Baird first displayed television which had only 30 lines and gave coarse image. Currently the digital signal of the television sends pictures with 1080 lines.

The television advertisement first broadcasted on 1st July, 1941 in New York. The advertisement was for Bulova Watch for 20 seconds. It was aired before a game of baseball played between the Philadelphia Phillies and the Brooklyn Dodgers. The cost of air buy during that time was only $9.

NASA has announced that they have lost all of their original tapes of Apollo 11’s TV transmission in August, 2006.

Queen Elizabeth II has launched her own YouTube channel after fifty years when she first address for the Christmas to the public of UK.

Nearly 36 percent mobile phone users can now watch the video beamed straight in their phones and the trend is still rising.

The theme today is video and television. We wanted to share these interesting facts in conjunction with our announcement about #PacTec having a segment on the @HistoryChannel tonight! The History Channel contacted us about being on the show when producers decided to do a #ModernMarvels show focused on packaging. Their internet search found us and late last year they came to our corporate location in Louisiana and filmed footage for our segment. We invite you to watch tonight!

Here is a link to the Baton Rouge, @2theadvocate , with a story about #PacTec and the show.

MONDAY MORNING LATTE'

COMMENCE: To enter upon or have a beginning.

Comedian Milton Burle once said:

We owe a lot to Thomas Edison - if it wasn't for him, we'd be watching television by candlelight!

It's a great and funny comment, but the interesting thing about Thomas Edison is that his ratio of successes to failures in invention was a stark contrast! But he never gave up!

So now it's 2011! A new year! A new year of new beginnings, of learning from the past and making the future profitable! A year of making mistakes to make success! With economic woes being talked about in the mainstream media, PacTec has never wavered in keeping our eyes focused on the goal of providing the best products, at competitive prices, with unparalleled service! That has been, and continues to be our focus! We invite you to consider partnering with PacTec in 2011 as your leading provider of soft-sided waste packaging!

We also have many new projects on the horizon, all to better connect with you! We will be sharing more information as these exciting projects approach. We encourage you to look forward to and push forward to your goals in 2011 - The Goals of Success!

MONDAY MORNING LATTE'

High-Heat Material: A material that is considered a "high-heat material" is either a solid or liquid based waste product that will not deteriorate under normal temperatures. Depending on the waste type, once cooled, the high-heat material can be disposed of in the appropriate landfill for that type of waste. Normally, most high-heat waste is generated at industrial facilities.

PacTec has led the way in manufacturing soft-sided waste products utilizing various types of material configurations. We offer options to incorporate various inner liners with a vast variety of outer shell materials. Whether it is a high-heat or normal temp waste, PacTec can custom engineer a packaging solution for most wastes in a timely fashion . . . delivered to your door!

Contact us for more information on our high-heat waste packaging at 800-272-2832! __________________________________________________________________

FRIDAY FUN FACTS! - Christmas 101.2!

Ok . . . So, it's the last Friday before Christmas that PacTec will be in the office, so it's not officially the LAST Friday before Christmas, but at work . . . it is! So, I am going to treat today's Friday Fun Fact . . . as IF it is! At PacTec we want to wish you the warmest Season's Greetings and Very Merry Christmas . . . so let's get this Friday Fun Fact a going!

DID YOU KNOW . . . .

Many theologians agree that the birth of Christ did not actually happen on December 25th, but sometime in late Summer or early Fall. In the bible it says that "shepherds were abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night". In Biblical times, the farmers used to hire shepherds in the late Summer and early Fall to keep their flocks in his field overnight as the manure of the animals acted as fertilizer for their fields.

Much to many's dismay, the Star of Bethlehem was NOT Haley's Comet. Many astronomers have attempted to relate the Star to an actual cosmic event but are not able to. Haley's Comet would have appeared in 12 BC, much too early.

In the Bible when Caesar Agustus decreed that "all the world should be taxed", the the world was the really the vast Roman Empire, and that in the Greek terminology "taxed" means "to register". He wanted all his subjects to be accounted for to show the rest of the world his "greatness". These registrations were normally done when the seasons were mild.

There were probably more than three wise men. The bible does not give us a specific number, but it was known that wise men usually traveled in large numbers. In original Bible translations, the original meaning for the word "wise" is the same as "astrologers". They also . . . were not kings. They were wealthy, and traveled in luxury, usually escorted by a cavalry for protection. Since they were wealthy they were able to give three highly expensive gifts to the Christ child.

What did the wise men bring specific types of gifts? Symbolically, the gold represented His royalty, frankincense was used in the temples to express gratitude, and myrrh was a perfume.

Myrrh is used today in mouthwashes, toothpaste and make-up, and charred frankincense is still used today in kohl, a black eyeliner that Middle Easterner wear under their eyes.

Many people are upset when they hear the term "X-mas", but actually it's not wrong from a historical biblical perspective. We need to understand that it is not the actual Greek letter "X" that is put into Christmas. The English letter "X" is actually the term used in the New Testament Greek for Christ, or "Christos". The idea of "X" as an abbreviation for the name of Christ. There is a long and sacred history of the use of X to symbolize the name of Christ, and from its origin, it has meant no disrespect. The use of the prefix "mas" is New Testament Greek translation to "mass" which is a worshipful term. So whether it is "X-mass" or "Christ-mass" . . . either way is Biblically acceptable.

At PacTec . . . we again want to wish you a Merry Christmas! Any way you determine to believe the Nativity story, our wish is that you glean hope and peace from the story and celebrate it's wonder! __________________________________________________________________
