Cider has been around for a very long time (in both hard and soft varieties). Hard cider was one of the staple beverages of Colonial America, and was enjoyed more widely than beer or liquor in its time. However, cider sales eventually dropped and it was replaced by beer in most US markets, at least until recently. However, the love for alcoholic apple juice never left Britain, and the nation is actually the largest consumer of cider in the world. Now, Stella Artois is about to tap into the market.

The company announced their new Stella Artois Cidre not long ago, and it will debut at the end of April for UK and European consumers. That’s a smart move for the company, as cider sales grew almost 50% in the last five years. Of course, Stella Artois (a subset of Anheuser Busch InBev) is not the only company making cider in town. You’ll find that Heineken also has their hand in the market. They own Strongbow, which is expected to go global this year.

The Stella Artois variety will be a Belgian style of hard cider, which is a little different from what many are used to drinking. However, it’s definitely poised to be a popular option on the market, especially with younger drinkers. For Americans, the wait for Stella Artois Cidre might be a bit longer, but there are plenty of options out there if you want to enjoy a crisp, flavorful apple beverage.

You’ll find that quite a few craft brewers are getting back into the cider-making industry, including Westcott Bay, Bellwether, Eve’s and Farnum Hill Extra Dry. Of course, there is also Cider Jack, Hardcore Hard Cider, Woodchuck Cider, Green Mountain and Ace Hard Cider, to name just a few. Many of these ciders are not available across the nation, though. For those in the Northeast, you’ll find the greatest variety of cider options, including lots of locally made products. For the rest of us, the hunt will require finding a good specialty beer store. Often, if they don’t stock your product, they can order some for you if you’re willing to foot the bill for their minimum purchase.

Cider, it seems, is making a real comeback. While it won’t replace beer on the American table, it certainly will make some inroads in the craft brewing industry, and you can expect some rather interesting beverage combinations in coming years.

The producers of Today in America with Terry Bradshaw are pleased to announce an upcoming segment on “Innovative Safety Solutions for 21st Century Industrial Applications” as part of its Today’s Industry series.

According to General Industry standards set by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, any time a general industry worker is exposed to a fall of greater than four feet, the worker is at risk and needs to wear fall protection equipment; however, despite these standards, fall-related incidents continue to occur each year. Experts say the reason is lack of compliance. Research suggests only 55 to 60% of workers required to wear fall protection equipment are actually using it correctly.

In this upcoming Today in America segment, we’ll discover one company committed to reducing the number of fall-related incidents and injuries with innovative fall protection, confined space, and rescue equipment. Today in America is proud to offer an episode on this important topic.

Although it should come as no surprise, there are a variety of ways for schools and educators to make money online. While the opportunities are endless, one recent concept has emerged, and thats the notion of selling goods and services through an educational auction and freelance network.

One of the more obvious ways that schools and educators can make money is by selling their unwanted materials and supplies online. The best way to get paid is through a trustworthy educational exchange website, where its free to list items, and a small fee is taken only when the item sells. You can sell items on behalf of the school, an individual, or a preschool or daycare.

If your colleagues are too busy to deal with selling their unwanted educational items, you can always assist them by listing their items for them, and then taking a percentage of their cut.

Educators and professionals can sell their services through the same educational networking website. By listing your areas of expertise, you can get hired to do the jobs that other educational professionals just dont have the time to complete.

You dont have to limit your moneymaking potential to selling goods and services you can also make money by being an affiliate. The gist of being an affiliate is that you indirectly promote the educational exchange site by sharing the link with interested parties and vendors. You receive money whenever your referral results in a transaction during the first year.

Why shouldnt schools and teachers make money in any way they can? You certainly cant depend upon your state and local government for additional help. Beyond selling magazines and submarine sandwiches to raise money, there has to be other avenues.

You can generate revenue by thinking creatively and showcasing your goods and services on the Internet. Youll find an entire pool of buyers online that you never knew existed. When you specifically use an educational exchange auction site, you can buy and sell almost anything related to the field of education.

Whether its janitorial supplies, puzzles, or televisions, there is a school or classroom that needs exactly what you have. You simply have to connect with the schools that need your old electronics or gym equipment. Perhaps you even have something brand new that you never used. Whatever youve got, take the time to list your items for free on a reliable educational networking website as soon as possible. Dont wait any longer to earn some extra money.
