Mail box history
Mailboxes and post boxes are inextricably interlinked with the development of the postal service and the introduction of postage stamps. Before personal and business mail began to be delivered to private addresses in the mid 19th century, people had to go to their post office to pay for postage and for mail to be delivered; the home owner had to be found so that it could be handed over personally by the postman. It soon became necessary that every private household had their own personal mailbox, either in the form of a letterbox cut into the front door of their property, or as a post box or mailbox on a post on their property which was easily accessible to the postman. In 1849, the British Postal service encouraged all private residents or businesses to either have a letterbox or dedicated mailbox which was weatherproof and could hold a relatively large capacity of correspondence. In the United States, post boxes became a legal requirement in 1923, with basic dimensional guidelines also set into the statute books. The classic US mailbox with semaphore flag was designed by US mail employee Roy J Joroleman and became hugely popular. As times have changed and security issues have arisen, theft and vandalism of private mailboxes has become a serious problem for private residents and businesses alike. It is now possible to purchase post boxes which are anti-arson, anti-theft and are heavily reinforced in order to protect mail. Furthermore, keys, padlocks and digital security locking systems can also be found on some modern mailboxes. Therefore the basic function of mailboxes has never changed although the styles and security features have constantly evolved. As with all fashions, the recycling of styles dictates that mailboxes whose style harks back to the Victorian era or the 50s are commonly available, although they may feature 21st century security and access systems.

The CV of Tomorrow
It seems that sooner or later almost everything in our lives will be digital, and played out online. With computers being such an integral part of all our lives and making everything from work to play many times easier, it was only a matter of time before the internet revolutionised the CV.
The Right CV for the Right Job
When you are applying for jobs, you might not always want to send the exact same CV out for every single vacancy. Certain things will seem completely irrelevant for some jobs, while others might need a particular slant on your working and personal life to maximise the attention your application receives.
Creating the Best CV
With university courses being more widespread than ever, the amount of candidates going for jobs with excellent qualifications is greater than ever before. The downside to this is that qualifications aren’t quite the career boosting things they once were. That’s not to say of course that it is pointless working for a good degree, in fact quite the opposite. The right qualifications and experience are more necessary than ever in getting your foot in the door, as there will be so many others with the right grades if you haven’t.

The benefits of paper bags
Most retail businesses today tend to give their customers plastic bags to carry their purchases and, although plastic bags provide a good solution, paper bags are equally as good, if not better, when it comes to carrying purchases from the store, back to your home. Below are some of the many benefits of using paper bags.
One of the best reasons to use paper bags is they have a lesser impact on the environment than plastic bags. Plastic bags contain toxic chemicals and do not break down easily when they are disposed of, whereas paper bags contain no harsh chemicals and will erode much more quickly.
In the retail business, it is important to keep your overheads as low as possible, and paper bags are a cost efficient product. Paper bags can be a more affordable option.
If your shop sells products that are popular with children, it is worth considering using paper bags rather than plastic. The reason for this is a simple one; plastic bags can cause suffocation, whereas paper bags do not so many parents feel more comfortable with their children carrying items in paper bags.
