Do you want to guarantee perfect and secure envelopes to your important customers? If you have not yet considered this, I would suggest starting now. According to the Envelope Manufacturers Association, "Adhesive‐related issues are the number one cause for customer returns." Some envelope converters may say, "Our envelopes open and stay closed just fine." Is this acceptable? An experienced converter will know to ask a customer where the envelopes will travel or how they will be stored to enable the right selection of adhesive. But, in regards to actually applying the glue, what are the right questions to ask? If you are buying envelopes, I'd likely be impressed with any additional knowledge on the subject. This type of expertise could be what helps decide to use one envelope converter over another.
So, what do professionals consider a secure envelope? In technical terms, a secure envelope has at least three folds and two overlapping edges, with seam gumming applied to the overlapping areas. There may be discrepancy on how well the seam is glued.
To ensure a secure envelope, the manufacturer should have systems in place that apply adhesive consistently, with clean cut-off. There are a variety of envelope types that may need glue application, however closed seam envelopes are the strongest form of seam construction and they are also the least vulnerable to breaking or popping during the mailing process. The operator must consider the specific method of application, the machines involved in the process, and equipment speeds to ensure the right applicator style is selected. Paul Chambers, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Valco Melton explained, "A 0.35mm nozzle is the right choice for side seam gumming, because it applies gum lines consistently, thus eliminating the inherent problems associated with using improper nozzle sizes, such as tailing and clogging."
In addition to proper gumming, quality inspection will ensure that the adhesive has been accurately applied at high line speeds. Quality inspection will assure an end user that the important documents inside their envelopes are secure, without manual operator intervention. If you have ever had to manually check envelopes for quality, you know that this is a big time-saver. Specifically, quality assurance gum inspection sensors guarantee that envelope side seam flaps are glued flawlessly in volume, start and stop, and overall length.
Using an intelligent gluing system with quality assurance will increase business. Here is a quick run-down on how manufacturing a consistent end product will help you:
- Increase new purchases and repeat business with a repetitive quality product
- Provide trust and confidence by knowing you have the right equipment in place to do the job best
- Improve loyalty with a solid track record of superior end-product from the same company
- Make yourself more marketable by using the very best technology from a global manufacturer that you can depend on to support you whenever you need it

One of the biggest threats to the efficiency and profitability of any production line is unscheduled machine downtime. It can be a sudden production halt, or an intentional machine stop by an operator who has detected defective functioning on the line.
Not only does this cause time loss, but also results in increased over-time to meet production goals, as well as replacing a small part that might be currently out of stock. Such unscheduled machine downtime forces operators to leave their tasks and try to fix the problem, which sometimes requires specific knowledge and can only be fixed by the technical service of your packaging machinery supplier (who, to make matters worse, is located miles away and unable to provide immediate assistance). Simply put: it costs you time and money. Sometimes lots of money.
As a leading manufacturer of adhesive dispensing systems for the packaging industry, we are aware of how distressing this situation can be for our customers. For that reason, we have decided to focus on exactly why a hot melt glue system could cause a packaging line to stop.
We found that the main reason for failure on a hot melt glue gun was typically compressed air. Luckily, we also identified a solution to fix this problem: electric hot melt glue guns. To dive deeper, in this post, we examine how all-electric hot-melt systems save more time and money than pneumatic hot-melt dispensing machinery by looking closely at long-term issues reported on air quality, solenoid performance, spare parts replacement and adhesive usage.
Air Quality:
How can compressed air have such a big impact on the life and performance of a hot melt applicator? To start off, manufacturing compressed air is expensive, and due to the age of most systems, the quality of the air starts diminishing shortly after installation. This in turn affects the efficiency of the applicator, the accuracy of the pattern and the potential lifespan of the hot melt system. On the other hand, an all-electric valve has a consistent performance throughout its entire life, which can reach up to 300 million cycles.
Solenoid Performance:
Pneumatic hot melt glue guns require air solenoids to activate the module. The combination of heat, debris, oil and air moisture quickly weakens the solenoid performance, resulting in sloppy or inconsistent glue patterns, spitting, or no glue firing at all. While you might think replacing the solenoid would correct the issue, more often than not, it's hard to tell whether the origin of the problem is the air-activated solenoid valve alone. Therefore, the nozzle, module and the solenoid are all replaced to ensure the problem is resolved, which necessitates an important investment in spare parts, inventory, storage and technical training. Since electric valves don't require solenoid valves, these associated issues are of no concern.
Spare Parts Replacement:
Seals and moving parts in the valve are subject to wearing out and require regular maintenance and replacement to maintain the valve in good condition. By reducing the number of seals, not only can you diminish the maintenance requirements, but also dramatically reduce chances of failure. Such is the case with an electric valve, which uses a small number of seals and other moving parts, guaranteeing longer life with less maintenance. To help illustrate this point further, we've created this infographic comparing the number of seals in both hot-melt systems.
Adhesive Usage:
Last but not least, electric valves reduce adhesive usage up to 75% while continuing to provide perfect bonding and sealing.
Compared to pneumatic hot melt glue guns, an electric valve can be set to work on stitch mode, producing any desired pattern larger than 1/8" (3 mm). The size of the bead and the distance between beads can easily be set and controlled from a Pattern Controller, which is usually provided as an integrated feature of the hot melt unit. All of this translates to great savings, while still allowing you to deliver a more eco-conscious product.

Global demand for corrugated boxes is expected to rise 4% annually to 234 billion square meters by 2017, a considerable acceleration from the 2007-2012 period. Largely driven by economic resurgence and growth in manufacturing goods packaging, competition among corrugated box manufacturers has never been greater.
A Message for Corrugated Box Manufacturers: Deliver faster, cheaper and better boxes.
Packaging buyers are increasingly demanding more from corrugated box manufacturers. Not only are you now expected to deliver boxes in record time, but also at unbeatable prices. In conjunction with an increased selection of available adhesive dispensing systems offering the latest technology, the bar for corrugated box manufacturers to deliver 100% defect-free boxes has been raised.
Upgrading Your Flexo Folder Gluer For Maximum Performance
So, how do you ensure your flexo folder gluer is ready for the zero defect challenge? It all starts with selecting the right glue station for your specific application and making the necessary upgrades to ensure it's equipped for maximum performance.
Since the advent of faster, direct-electric valves, and advances in adhesive technology, jetting the glue from a distance away from the board has become a valid method for applying adhesives.
This non-contact gluing method has gained in popularity due to its ability to reduce the risk of board marking and skew, as well as the fact that it requires very little "housekeeping," when compared to contact gluing. As an added bonus, the all-electric, non-contact system does not have the glue pattern applicator, or related wear items typically associated with an air-operated contact system.
Previously, non-contact glue stations could only be used for top-down gluing. In order to produce inside and outside glue lap, machines required glue stations, along with associated fluid handling system components, to be mounted on both the tab-side and 4th panel sides of the machine.
Further research and development efforts have since led to the creation of non-contact glue stations that offer increased configuration flexibility, as well as new glue valve technology, which is capable of operating at higher glue pressure.
By equipping your flexo folder gluer with a glue station that offers both top-down and bottom-up non-contact glue application capabilities, you can really maximize the utility of your machine. Installed on one side of the machine, the operator can quickly set it to run for either inside or outside glued boxes with only the pull of a ring.
Other benefits include:
- Eliminates the need to invest in gluing equipment for both sides of the machine
- Avoids potential risks of board marking, board skewing and applicator headwear associated with contact gluing technologies
- Ideal for machines that can only mount a glue station on one side
Quantity and Quality: The Importance of Quality Assurance Equipment
We can't stress enough, how important it is for corrugated box manufacturers to select the right glue station in order to maximize flexo folder gluer performance and keep up with demand. Quantity however, is only half of the story.
As advances in adhesive dispensing technology have been made, expectations for supplying perfect boxes have increased. While efficiently delivering boxes in record time and at unbeatable prices is an advantage in and of itself, what if you could also guarantee that every box is 100% defect-free. Would you buy from a company that wasn't supplying 100% defect-free boxes when they could? No. So why would your customers? This is where the other half comes in: Quality.
Delivering a quality product not only increases client retention, but also helps you stand out from the competition. By equipping your flexo folder gluer with state-of-the-art camera inspection systems and the latest developments in adhesive application technology, you can actually gain control of what you ship.
Don't wait for an unhappy customer when you can ensure a perfect box before it even leaves your door.

Inserting and product attachment are a vital part of Print Finishing. Every day we see mailers with gift cards, credit cards, gas cards, and more. Whether your company is sending out a promotional flyer or attaching a card, coupon or mailer, using an efficient, cost-effective adhesive applicator is an important condition. Obligations to produce excellent print quality, complex folds, special perforations, and the need for speed are growing. It is critical to your brand reputation that this product maintains its integrity even after reaching the end-user. Furthermore, with today's competitive landscape, producing these materials with a consciousness for sustainability is a requirement. In our line of business, that means using less adhesive and producing less waste. Here are five ways one hot melt gun can start lowering your adhesive usage today.
1."Opt-In" on Options. One of the most critical aspects of adhesive application on a mailer or graphic is the ability to customize the adhesive pattern, so that the system can maintain the flexibility it needs for each customer's specific requests. Because accuracy and precision are a necessity, it is critical to administer an adhesive application that meets these standards. In a market that is constantly reinventing itself, whether you need micro beads, large beads, are folding or perforating the mailer, or need 30 beads versus 15 beads, the electric valve that provides you with the ability to select an option from a limitless number of bead sizes and pattern lengths is the way to go. Valco Melton's Ecostitch™ Valve is one of the only valves to provide these options to its customers.
2. Eliminate Stringing. Another critical aspect to applying a perfect and efficient adhesive pattern on mailers and graphics is the ability to eliminate stringing and provide a clean cut-off. In other words, when the mailer arrives at the end user, it is important that they can open the seal without tearing, ripping, or damaging the mailer. If the end-user tears or damages the mailer that is associated with your company name, it can affect what they think about the quality of your brand.
3. Ensure the Dispensing Valve is Multi-Use. Many mailers are glued with permanent, fugitive, and pressure sensitive adhesive. It is important to have an adhesive applicator that can work with nearly any adhesive to provide the clean finish and quality application you are looking for.
4. Utilize the "Zipper Stitch." Valco Melton's Ecostitch™ adhesive applicator applies adhesive in what they have started to call a "Zipper Stitch™." This adhesive pattern type is truly unique and far superior to the traditional adhesive application method used on mailers. Traditionally, manufacturers would apply a long line or series of lines of adhesive to seal the end piece. More specifically, a large bead of glue is applied to the surface and spread out across the sealing area, which causes the end user to bend, fold, and tear the mailer when opening the seal. The Zipper Stitch is a superior pattern because it provides a perfect, uniform seal across the sealing area. Instead of a thick bead of adhesive stretched across the surface, there is a series of micro beads applied across the surface to provide a seal that can withstand any quality control test. Simultaneously, this allows the "at home" user to open and re-seal the mailer without tearing it. The Zipper Stitch provides a clean opening, while eliminating any tearing or other damage. This increases the integrity of the mailer, which in turn gives the end user a more positive experience.
5. Long Lives the Clean Valve! With speed and ceramic materials, electric valves are able to produce a tight closure that pushes out and pulverizes any char or debris that comes through the valve. Essentially, the valve cleans itself. By using a top-down adhesive path and electromagnetic coil, low pressure and large orifice size, the valve is able to virtually eliminate nozzle plugging. Additional features support easy change-outs and variable valve configurations with options like a "quick-connect" coil.
As an example of how powerful a little adhesive valve of this kind can really be, Valco Melton's Ecostitch™ adhesive applicator is built with a ceramic seat and carbide-tipped plunger. It easily reaches 3000 cycles per minute continuous duty with a lifetime of up to 300,000,000 cycles. This solution has produced every case I've seen with instant ROI– Payback has occured in as little as four months.
By selecting a Hot Melt Adhesive Applicator that can achieve these 5 things, your adhesive can be reduced by up to 75%. Don't believe me? Check out this case study.

Assembling sheets and layers during the diaper manufacturing process involves several steps. The bond between each part must be flawless and any interference to the adhesive on the product kept to a minimum.
A common myth amongst manufacturers is that a strong, long-lasting bond means that it is necessary to use higher amounts of adhesive. This is false. By using specific patterns engineered to have higher adherence and locating the pattern in certain key spots, the use of adhesive can be decreased, while the strength of the bond increases. In other words, it's not the amount of hot melt you use, but how you apply it.
Tests at diaper manufacturer facilities have proven that a 50% reduction of adhesive usage is possible by switching from standard spray hot melt dispensing applications to multi-spray adhesive patterns. During spray applications, the surface is covered from side to side with a swirl pattern. With the multi-spray option, the same surface is instead covered by 3 parallel mini-swirls. This application creates a pattern with a high number of adhesive swirl intersections to give additional strength using lower amounts of adhesive.
Aside from adhesive usage reduction, further savings can be attained by using hot melt modules with removable "insert nozzle" technology. This innovative concept permits easier cleaning and pattern configuration processes. The tip of the nozzle features 3 small inserts that provide a highly accurate mini-swirl pattern. A special air output design avoids nozzle clogging, while reducing costly downtime.
Additionally, inserts like Valco Melton's NWV BAT22 Inserts can be easily extracted and replaced, facilitating and reducing the time spent on cleaning and maintenance operations. Inserts can be combined with blanks for additional pattern configurations with minimal spare parts investment and work-change times.
Spare parts inventory can also be reduced as an effect of this hot melt technology. If any malfunction occurs, there is no need to replace the whole nozzle, just the defective insert. By only replacing the inserts, some of the users of our multi-pattern modules with insert-nozzle technology have experienced proven savings of up to 40-60% in their spare parts expenditure.
If you are interested in a deeper technical analysis, here is a white paper detailing the savings a customer achieved at their facility by replacing their swirl spray hot melt systems with multi-spray hot melt technologies.

Manufacturers have been using compressed air systems for many years. In fact, most adhesive dispensing systems today use pneumatics simply because air has always been available and this was the original design criteria in the development of hot melt system gun technology. Although pneumatic systems will get the job done, there are several known, long-term issues associated with compressed air:
1. Constant and costly replacement of parts gone bad.
2. Diminishing solenoid performance.
3. Pneumatic guns plus solenoid have eleven dynamic seals per set compared to electric guns that have no dynamic seals.
It's a fact; Pneumatic valve performance starts diminishing shortly after installation. Most modules are replaced because they won't fire glue, not because they are leaking from the glue seal. This is because the pneumatic portion of the valve module has failed, not because the fluid seal failed. Compressed air is the cause. Many nozzles are replaced because there is no glue coming from the module. Although nozzles do sometimes get plugged, there are just as many issues with the module or air solenoid not performing at full capacity that give the impression that the nozzle is the cause. The nozzles, module and air activation solenoid are all replaced to be sure the problem is resolved.
Air activation solenoids, like valve modules, are constantly pushing air through them. The combination of heat, debris, oil, and moisture in the air will cause the solenoid performance to start diminishing very quickly. A solenoid can still open and close, but it might only be working at 40% of its full capability. This means the volume of air going through the air solenoid is most likely much less than what is shown on the regulator. The symptoms of this issue are sloppy glue patterns, spitting, inconsistent glue patterns and in some cases, no glue at all.
Manufacturing compressed air is expensive and because of the age of most systems, the quality of the air diminishes each year. Compressed air contains debris that enters the piston pump, air solenoids, and glue module with each activation. This problem can be completely avoided by using an all-electric hot melt system. The all-electric hot melt system removes this contamination, resulting in a higher quality and much cleaner product. An all-electric system does not have dynamic seals in the valves, contains a built-in troubleshooting guide, built-in gun filter, and there are no solenoids required. All of these prevent the constant replacement of system parts and diminishing performance; two issues that are common in pneumatic systems.
All-electric systems not only provide a higher quality product, but also decrease downtime caused by diminishing system parts, which simultaneously increases production. Whether you are a folding carton, packaging, or print-finishing manufacturer, all-electric adhesive systems can improve your production rates and increase the quality of your product.
We tested our CHOICE all-electric system over a three-week period with one of our customers that was using a pneumatic valve and a traditional bead of adhesive for their card attaching applications. The customer provided us with sample product of card attachment that was completed with their pneumatic system. Our goal was to run this exact same card attaching application with our all-electric system for three weeks to show the customer the adhesive consumption savings and cost savings they would achieve by using our CHOICE system compared to their previous method.
First, we weighed ten of the products glued with the traditional, pneumatic valve as well as ten products glued with our all-electric system. After obtaining the weight of the glued cards, we subtracted the card weight (6.29 grams) to determine the weight of the adhesive applied to each card. The results determined that there is a 60% reduction in adhesive usage when using the all-electric system compared to the pneumatic system.
We went a step further to discover the financial savings they could attain if 8,000,000 pieces were produced. Now that we had determined the weight of the adhesive applied to each card for the two systems, we calculated how many pounds of adhesive would be used with 8,000,000 pieces of product by the pneumatic system (3,227.57 lbs) versus the all-electric system (1,287.50 lbs).
Using a hypothetical price of $3.00 per pound of adhesive we were able to determine the adhesive cost for the pneumatic system at $9,682.71 and the adhesive cost of the all-electric system at $3,862.50. Bottom line, the customer saves $5,820.21 using the all-electric system.
The test clearly showed the customer that the all-electric system lowers adhesive consumption by 75%, which in turn lowers the adhesive cost. The new systems paid for themselves in less than 4 months.
The great news is that Valco Melton's CHOICE system can be implemented onto any existing line, but moreover the amount of investment you make today will be in direct correlation with the return you will see tomorrow.

The corrugated box manufacturing industry has long been focused on reducing waste as one of the key drivers of efficiencies. Like most box makers, you are probably focused on reducing waste in your facility. However, most people fail to realize the complex interdependent relationships that exist between quality, waste, product price, cost and production volume. What if "increasing" waste built value for your customers or increased your revenue and "decreasing" waste actually increased the cost of the box or even lowered sales? With so much at stake, it pays to take some time to more closely examine the tipping point between quality and waste.
What is Waste Anyway?
There are actually two separate types of waste – internal and external. Internal waste is typically what the corrugated box industry refers to as "waste." Internal waste represents any defective sheet or box that is produced and not shipped to the customer. However, if you don't catch the defective product and it ends up in the hands of the customer, it is considered external waste. External waste is rarely, if ever, discussed unless brought up by the customer. The cost is only accounted for in the form of credits for defects returned. Some customers do not return many defective or problem products to the corrugated box maker, resulting in an inefficient and distorted feedback loop.
Misleading Numbers
Through our investigations, we have found that the costs tracked for external waste are more often larger than the internal waste figures. Furthermore, customer complaints, credits and feedback are a minority of the actual rate of defective product that customers are receiving. What this means is that some customers are bearing much of the direct costs (downtime, lost productivity, wasted products) associated with external scrap rates, while box makers are bearing much of the direct costs associated with internal scrap rates.
If customer complaints were, in fact, true indicators of the external scrap rates, this model would be useful for making operational decisions. However, discussions with end-users have shown that customers are not complaining about the vast majority of problems. Similarly, many box plants don't complain about every hiccup in their machines or every minor issue with their paper – that's the norm and they are used to it. Because this feedback loop is broken, many corrugated box makers have a warped view (literally) of how much scrap they're actually sending their customers.
Two clear options are available to box makers for handling waste. First, do a better job of finding all defects before shipment and remove them from the production stream, increasing internal scrap rate and improving quality. Alternatively, send defects to customers in an effort to reduce internal waste, but increasing external scrap rates and decreasing quality. What are box makers expected to do? Is sacrificing quality worth the savings of reducing internal waste? What impact will this have on your business?
Possible Solution
The secret to improving both internal and external waste is not only to identify the defective products and remove them from the production stream, but also to identify the root causes of the scrap production and address them. Investment in quality assurance systems for box inspection, operator training, as well as PM discipline and keeping equipment current can both identify scrap and reduce its root causes. If management is committed to solving problems on the floor that are causing waste, not only will less defective product be produced internally (internal waste) but also less defective product will be shipped to customers (external waste). In addition, profits will improve and customer retention will increase, which directly improves the bottom line. Finding the problem quickly through quality assurance devices and not having them occur from the other improvement measures will decrease internal and external scrap rates and improve the ROI performance of the business.
End Result
If investment in quality assurance systems, operator training, improvement in preventative maintenance programs and an upgrade program for production machinery can reduce the internal scrap rate, then the external scrap rate will be significantly reduced. Box makers will improve profits and keep happy customers who shouldn't need to complain about the products they receive.

Having worked in supplying adhesive dispensing equipment and packaging machinery to people all over the world since 1952, we have heard quite a few horror stories from customers using hot melt glue systems. They mostly stem from the same common mistakes. Unfortunately for them, if they had known what we are about to tell you, these issues could have been easily avoided and the risk of downtime dramatically reduced. In an effort to make sure you don't become another one of the characters in these legendary stories, we suggest following these 5 easy tips:
- Never start the unit before it has reached working temperature. We know time is money and waiting for the system to reach working temperature everyday can feel
like you are wasting valuable minutes that should be spent doing other things. However, it is necessary for the unit to reach working temperature to ensure that the adhesive has the required viscosity. Failing to do this can create problems with the pump and other internal parts that will result in unstable working conditions and downtime. So, count this daily ritual in as an important one.
- Stop "overfilling". When the hot melt glue system runs out of adhesive, it can make the entire packaging line come to a screeching halt, resulting in expensive downtime. Although overfilling the melter to ensure the adhesive supply will last longer seems like it could be a brilliant idea, once the adhesive is actually melted, it can result in unwanted spillages. This can create serious safety hazards for yourself or other operators, as well as damage your packaging equipment.
- Get rid of risky maintenance practices. Regular maintenance processes should always include cleaning your hot melt glue systems. Rushing through this task can sometimes lead operators into manipulating the melter without getting rid of the high pressure first. Given the risk that the combination of hot adhesive and high pressure involves, eliminating the pressure from the system is a necessity to ensure a safe cleaning process.
- There is no universal configuration. Although it would be ideal, unfortunately, one configuration does not work for all applications. It is important to know the exact parameters, such as line speed, pattern type or applicator cycle speed that each application requires to avoid defective bonding or stringing caused by either an excess or a lack of hot melt adhesive.
Always use the adequate type of adhesive. It is important to be aware of the type of adhesive your application needs. Take into account the product that is being sealed and the hot melt glue system being used. Using the wrong type of hot melt for your products may create defective bonding or even damage the material. If the adhesive is not suitable for the hot melt glue system, common problems can include an unstable pumping rate due to incorrect viscosity, clogged nozzles due to debris formed by burnt adhesive, or a complete stop of the system if the melting requirements are higher than the system's melting rate. If you are not sure, ask! There is nothing more glorious than a perfectly glued product.

If you're in the market of using pressure sensitive adhesive with a deferred use seal machine for corrugated box products, folding cartons or envelopes with conventional paper converting machinery, it's important to consider production speeds and volume when making the decision between a double sided transfer tape applicator system or a system that applies pressure sensitive adhesive followed by a covering release liner. Both double-sided transfer tape and pressure sensitive adhesive sealing systems with release liner get the job done, but which method completes the task most efficiently, while giving the highest quality product and the most cost-effective solution? I'd say it depends largely on a few things.
The pressure sensitive adhesive applied in ribbon, bead, or spray form during the converting process on the converting machine is deposited evenly onto the substrate surface. This process produces a much stronger bond than adhesive transfer tape systems. The release liner overlay can be customized for length and width coverage to off set the adhesive pattern thus providing the easy peel and seal feature that is not possible with transfer tape.
By eliminating the need for excessive transfer tape roll changes, production significantly increases, while simultaneously decreasing down time and reducing material costs by 40% or more. The cost of buying bulk adhesive and bulk silicone paper is far less than the cost of transfer tape and is easier to inventory and store.
If you are looking for a more efficient process, a stronger bond, to reduce material cost, increase production, and decrease downtime, I'd suggest using the Valco Melton SealTak® deferred-use sealing equipment method. Just do the math and decide what makes the most sense for your company.

Choosing how to feed your baby is an important decision that has lifelong consequences for children and mothers. It is likely that the mother had seen and learned from family, friends and teachers related to infant feeding, attitudes and thoughts affect you. Do you have decided to breastfeed her child or if you are still in doubt, you should consider the fact that breast milk will not only become the first food for your baby for a few months, but it would be the best.
* Breastfeeding
Nature designed human milk for human babies, so it has several advantages over any substitute ever developed. Your milk is the most gentle and contains a balance of nutrients and, through the provision of equipment and systems is still a young baby's body can easily assimilate.

* Made dinner
If you choose not to breastfeed, or if for some reason can not, commercial artificial milk (formula) with iron, can provide enough nutrition for your baby. Formulas contain adequate amounts of protein, calories, fat, vitamins and minerals that are suitable for their growth. However, containing milk has immune factors, which can help prevent the infections.
Typically, babies get enough milk from the milk iron-fortified formula do not need vitamin and mineral supplements. Sometimes, if water supplies do not contain enough fluoride, fluoride should be taken after six months of life. Consult with your pediatrician about the use of fluoride supplements.
Tips for feeding your baby:
Here are some useful tips for feeding your baby:
* Breast milk is best for your baby and profitable even if you nurse for a short time or alternating with other methods.
* If you're breastfeeding, formula based on cow's milk is used as a first choice.
* Feed your baby breast milk or infant formula until he was 1 year.
* Begin solid foods when your baby can hold his head, sit with support and has lost the tongue thrust reflex months (between 4 and 6 of life).
* When introducing solid foods to your diet, start with rice cereal mixed with breast milk or formula in a spoon. Do not provide solid food with a bottle.

The recent employment tribunal case of Kinnear v Marley Eternit Ltd highlights the potential financial risks of dismissing an apprentice before he/she completes their apprenticeship.
Mr Kinnear had entered into a 4-year, fixed-term apprenticeship with his employer, which was due to expire in November 2018, upon completion of his qualification as a Roofer. However, Mr Kinnear was made redundant in June 2016 due to a downturn in work.
Mr Kinnear was awarded £25,000 in respect of damages (the maximum amount an Employment Tribunal can award for a breach of contract claim). This was given on the basis that the Employment Judge found Mr Kinnear would be unlikely to be able to finish his apprenticeship with another firm because of his age and, as such, his future losses were likely to stretch over some years. Consequently, he would be disadvantaged in the labour market going forward, by not having attained his qualification in his chosen trade.
Employers should note that training is the primary purpose of a contract of apprenticeship, while doing work for the employer is secondary. As such, apprentices employed under a contract of apprenticeship have enhanced rights on termination of their employment compared to 'ordinary' employees, and employers owe them greater obligations. Moreover, an employer has significantly less scope for dismissing an apprentice employed under a contract of apprenticeship than an 'ordinary' employee. Accordingly, if a business finds itself experiencing a downturn in trade, it will require to demonstrate that it has taken all reasonable steps to find alternative placements for the apprentices who are at risk, as redundancy really should be a last resort, given the risks involved. Furthermore, if the apprentices have more than 2 years' service they will be eligible to bring claims for unfair dismissal as well as damages claims for breach of contract.
Any member companies who employ apprentices and are entering a redundancy situation should contact Scottish Engineering for advice.

One Easy Way to Prevent the Common Cold, Flu and Other Common Ailments/
This post contains affiliate links. Please see the Disclosure page for additional information.
My father-in-law, Dr. Shaul Cohen, has been telling me about the benefits of oral and topical probiotics for years. After my husband, son and I were sick with colds for most of November, I sat down with him to get more nuanced information and recommendations.
My Key Takeaways on Probiotics
- It is already well established that probiotics can prevent and help heal gastrointestinal issues.
- Now there is strong evidence that probiotics help to protect you from a host of other ailments, diseases and disorders, including the common cold (and even obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and cancer, see below for a more robust list).
- Don't wait until you are sick to start a probiotic regimen. Maintaining a good balance of gut bacteria can naturally protect you from many diseases.
- The benefits of oral probiotics are well established.
- Spraying a topical liquid probiotic on your face and inserting some in your nostrils with a cotton swab may help prevent the common cold and flu (in lay terms, the probiotics crowd out the cold virus).
- Similarly, spraying a topical liquid probiotic on a wound can help to prevent an infection.
- A chewable probiotic may help with gum and tooth health.
- Look for a probiotic with a high number of live cultures and strains.
Dr. Cohen's Personal Recommendations
- My father-in-law hasn't gotten sick in the 2.5 years since he started taking both a capsule and chewable daily and using a probiotic spray twice daily (links are to the brands that he uses).
- He recommends this probiotic spray because it contains 12 strains of probiotics.
When traveling, he always brings capsules containing 100 Billion CFU to take if he or his companions need to take antibiotics or get upset stomach.
What I Use for Myself and my Toddler
- I use liquid probiotics that Dr. Cohen recommends for my family. It comes either with a dropper or as a spray, we spray our faces and inside our mouths, and put some in our nostrils daily with qtips
- I take this capsule and give this powder to my toddler (safe from three months). I prefer this brand as it doesn't contain additives.
- For my son, I generally mix the powder with his yogurt (you could also mix it with milk). He likes it so much that he sometimes asks to eat it straight from the spoon.
My pediatrician mentioned that all the GI doctors that she speaks with recommend this brand (they make capsules for adults, and for kids you can either spill out the capsule contents or buy packets). I asked an acquaintence who is a pediatric GI -- she said that who said that it is rather expensive and not warranted unless you have specific major issues.
An Interesting Tidbit on Probiotics and Obesity
In one study, probiotics were given to women in their last five months of pregnancy and until one month post birth, which reduced excessive weight gain in the mothers and in the children from birth to age ten!
Additional Indications for Probiotics
- Gum health
- Cavity, ear and nose infections
- Pneumonia
- Stomach and Bowel infections and Irritable bowel syndrome
- Skin infections
- Bladder and Kidney infections
- Autoimmune diseases: Lupus. Rheumatoid Arthritis, Ulcerative Colitis, Crohn' disease
- Asthma and Allergies
- Obesity
- Increase longevity and improves quality of life
- Increase good Cholesterol ( HDL)
- Improve metabolic syndrome, and reduce markers of inflammation
- Improve sugar control, decrease liver inflammation
- Reduce DNA damage that can cause cancer
- Protect against chronic diseases including diabetes, heart lung and blood vessel diseases

I do like Laurel Hill Apartments, right now they do have W/D in every unit, that is the only one that I want
Laurel Hill is a nice, small, quiet, and well maintained community.
I have seen some really nice apartments on here but I would like to see some that will do low income for people that's on Section 8
The office staff and maintenance staff are great!
Apartment walls/floors are so thin/poorly sound proofed that all I can hear EVERYTHING in surrounding apartments. Cigarette smells seep into the bedroom only and has caused health issues for me. The steps up to the second floor are not level and cause a fall hazard. I requested the sliding glass door to be winterized or sealed as it leaked a lot of cold air. Nothing was even done.

I was lying on my bed, watching a video on my phone when I thought why has no one come up with something to hold the phone up
Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) January 08, 2016
Move over Selfie Stick, HeadPal is the hands-free device of the future.
HeadPal is a brand new device that allows users to use their smartphone in 3 different formats giving people the option to relax comfortably while taking calls, using Skype or watching Netflix. The company is currently raising funds on Kickstarter to bring the product to life.
HeadPal solves the problem everyone has experienced trying to get comfortable while on our smartphones; neck pain, arm soreness, and blurry eyes from a screen held too close. "I was lying on my bed, watching a video on my phone when I thought why has no one come up with something to hold the phone up," says founder Adam Agrestal. It was then the HeadPal was born.
The 3-in-1 Device is versatile for every situation. Head Mount Mode allows users to wear the included headphones streaming audio via bluetooth while the phone "floats" in front of user's face. Table Mount Mode lets the smartphone stand alone in a fixed position for easy viewing. Finally, Selfie Stick Mode allows users to hold their phone out for selfies.
To transition between the modes, the components are pulled apart by detaching the magnetic plugs and the tubing molded to desired shape. The HeadPal includes detachable headphones allowing for use with or without the included accessory.
At its core, HeadPal represents the natural evolution of the selfie stick, whether sitting back on the couch watching a movie, or watching the morning news at the kitchen table, HeadPal is the hands-free device the world's been waiting for.
"'Our objective is to solve a common problem with smart phone use and that is fatigue, we want to alleviate that problem and provide a handy accessory," added Agrestal.
All HeadPal purchases come with 1 x Bluetooth over-ear HeadPal Headphones, 1 x Reconfigurable Headset Connection System, 1 x Reconfigurable Phone Mount, 2 x Magnetic Phone Stickers.
HeadPal starts at $49 on Kickstarter for early backers with multiple quantities available at an additional cost.
The HeadPal is now live and available for purchase on Kickstarter here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/75170575/headpal-the-smartphone-accessory-you-have-been-wai
About HeadPal
HeadPal was founded in October 2014 by Adam Agresta. Following extensive research and development the first prototype of HeadPal was produced in April 2015. Adam Agresta visited CES in China to talk to manufactures about HeadPal in May 2015 and a second prototype followed in July 2015. The HeadPal product will be launched via a Kickstarter campaign on 21 December 2015.

Powerful anti-drinking and driving campaign delivers important message
March 20, 2018
Imagine that you are out for a night of fun with the friends. You've had a few drinks and you make a stop in the restroom. When you look in the mirror, instead of seeing your reflection looking back at you, you see someone else.
That someone else is Kris Cadilla. Caudilla,32, is looking back at you from a prison cell. Caudilla chats with bathroom-goers for a few minutes before telling them his story:
In January of 2010, Caudilla was driving home after drinking with some friends. That night, he went the wrong way down a road and caused a head-on collision. The other driver, Deputy James Anderson Jr, 44, a father of four, was killed, NBC News reported. Caudilla is now serving 15 years in prison for DUI manslaughter.
"I made the choice to drink. I made the choice to get in the car. You don't have to make that choice," Caudilla says.
The men in the video all appear stunned, and taken aback by the encounter, though they all agree to help ensure that they and their friends find a safe way home after a night of drinking.
We Save Lives, was founded in 2012 and serves to prevent crashes from drivers under the influence of drugs and alcohol and distracted drivers. This particular campaign was a product of Mothers Against Drunk Driving founder Candace Lightner.
"To someone who thinks this would never happen to them, I'd ... say think twice about it. Because I was in that same boat. I thought I was invincible. It eventually caught up with me."
Every year more than 10,000 people are killed in drunk driving accidents, and one-third of the drivers involved in these accidents are repeat offenders, according to We Save Lives.
You can help make road safer by following a few of these tips:
-Offer to be a designated driver for a friend
-Call a taxi for a friend or allow them to stay overnight if they've been drinking
-Make sure your friends know that you will not ride with a driver who has been drinking
-Call a cab if you've been drinking
-Stay off the road after drinking, even if you think you're "fine"

We just announced our Spring 2018 program and registration is now available!
Zen Maker Lab is proud to offer an advanced academy program for kids 8-15 at our headquarters in beautiful North Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. This is a great program for children and youth that want to build further on the skills learned from our Zen Maker Club, Spring and Summer camps and other programs.
This program covers a variety of maker topics and students will enjoy real life access to highly specialized equipment and experienced industry instructors at our leading edge maker lab facility – aimed at stimulating tomorrow's digital creators.
Our Monday program from 4 to 6 pm is focused on 3D design and 3D printing although we also have some sessions on website development, printing and design.
Wednesday is our main Zen Maker Academy day!
We have a daytime program on Wednesdays from 12:00 to 2:00 pm (ages 8 to 12 years taught by Tom Dowad with a focus on electronics). Students will be making gadgets that tie into an MP3 player most kids built in previous programs. For kids that are new to this program and haven't yet built their MP3 player, they can get help building it towards the beginning of the program (extra cost for the mp3 player).
Our after school session from 4 to 6 pm is a repeat of the daytime program with a focus on electronics and coding and making gadgets that tie into an MP3 player.
We also have an evening program from 6:30 pm to 8 pm that is tailored towards older kids 12 to 15 years old (or younger kids with equivalent experience) that are interested in making something that can potentially be commercialized. This is taught by Cyri Jones (business focus) and Fardin Barekat (engineering focus). Students in the after school program can register for this evening program in addition to the afternoon program if they like. Dinner (pizza or BBQ) can be provided at a small additional cost.
Session sizes are kept to a maximum of eight participants per instructor to ensure everyone gets a lot of individual attention. In the event that there are less than three participants registered, Zen Maker Lab reserves the right to cancel a program and provide a full refund.
Our programs at our maker lab in North Vancouver includes access to 3D printers (ABS and PLA filament printers and a powder printer), scanners, 3D design software, laser cutters, CNC mills & lathes, electronics benches, large format printing, vinyl cutters, laminators, AR/VR headsets and more.

Spanish Defence Minister Pedro Morenés said on 12 March that if Washington were to block the sale of US-made systems used on F-100 class frigates, Spain would push ahead by offering alternative equipment in its attempt to win an order for the ships from Brazil.
Following his meeting with Brazilian counterpart Celso Amorim in Brasilia, the Spanish state news agency EFE reported the minister as saying the one obstacle that could emerge would be an objection by Washington.
Joint High Speed Vessel (JHSV) 2, the future USNS Choctaw County, conducted builder's sea trials March 7-8, in Mobile, Ala.
The ship, now under construction at Austal USA, is the second ship of the JHSV class.

WASHINGTON — Whatever the future holds for the U.S. Navy's Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) program, it's becoming less likely the service will continue to buy both variants after 2015.
The successor may either be the Freedom-class or Independence-class designs now being built, an up-gunned, multimission variant of the current ships, or a completely different type of ship, according to senior Navy officials familiar with high-level thinking.

The contract options fund construction of the LCS 14 and LCS 16, the fifth and sixth ships in the 10-ship block buy award made to an Austal-led team in December 2010. That 10-ship program is potentially worth over US$3.5 billion.
In what it called a major step in the "systematic upgrade of its equipment and defense," the People's Liberation Army Navy (PLAN) on February 25th received the first of an expected 20 Type 056 Jiangdao-class stealth corvettes, a new type of ship that experts say will play a major role in defending China's territorial waters.

MOSCOW, February 6 (RIA Novosti) – The Russian Navy ballistic-missile submarine Verkhoturye has returned to service with the Northern Fleet after completing a refit, Fleet Spokesman Captain First Rank Vadim Serga said on Wednesday.
The Project 667 class boat (NATO Delta 4) arrived at the main nuclear submarine base in Gadzhiyevo, Murmansk Region, after refit at the Zvezdochka shipyard at Severodvinsk, Serga said.

Caught between the jagged coral of an ocean reef and Filipino environmental and political concerns, the U.S. Navy says it will cut up the trapped USS Guardian and take it away piece by piece.
"Our only supportable option is to dismantle the damaged ship and remove it in sections," Capt. Darryn James, spokesman for the U.S. Pacific Fleet, said Jan. 29.
The decision, James said, keeps salvage equipment in deeper water and minimizes further damage to the coral reef.

After a week full of finishing touches that included 90 gallons of gray paint and the installation of a new lighting system, the shipyard is ready to place its redesigned island on the aircraft carrier Gerald R. Ford.
Newport News Shipbuilding, the nation's largest shipyard and a unit of Huntington Ingalls Industries, is set to place the island onto the carrier Saturday, a construction milestone and one of the late steps in the process of completing the ship's structure.
The White Ensign now billows over two Astute-class submarines after the second boat, HMS Ambush, was officially handed over to the Royal Navy following successful trials.
Builders BAE Systems formally transferred the £1bn hunter-killer – one of seven successors to the long-serving Trafalgar-class – to the Silent Service in Ambush's home port of Faslane.

Israel is the only country with Jewish symbols on its national flag, but it is one of many flags populated with religious imagery, according to a new study by the Pew Research Center.
The Israeli flag includes the Star of David along with a white and blue striped background representing a traditional Jewish prayer shawl. The UK's "Union Jack," on the other hand, includes the crosses of St. George, St. Patrick and St. Andrew.
According to the study, a third of the world's 196 countries feature religious symbols.
Christian markings appear on 31 national flags from Europe, Asia and the Pacific, and the Americas, making up about half of the world's flags with religious symbols.
Some Commonwealth countries continue to incorporate the Union Jack as a part of their own flags, including Fiji, Tuvalu, Australia, and New Zealand.
Spain, Greece, Norway, and the Dominican Republic are among the other countries with Christian national symbols.
About a third of the world's flags with religious symbols are of Islamic inspiration, and Islamic markings are featured on the flags of 21 countries in sub-Saharan Africa, the Asia-Pacific region and the Middle East and North Africa. Many of these present an Islamic star and crescent on their national flag.
Not all similar imagery is necessarily religious. Singapore, for instance, has a crescent and stars on its flag, but they do not have religious meaning. According to the government of Singapore, the crescent moon "represents a young nation on the ascendant, and the five stars depict Singapore's ideals of democracy, peace, progress, justice and equality."
Buddhist or Hindu religious symbols figure on five national flags, while six other countries have imagery associated with other religions on their flags. The national flags of Uruguay and Argentina, for instance, both feature shining golden suns thought to represent the Incan sun god Inti.
The American flag does not feature religious symbols, but those of a number of states do. Some, such as Alabama and Florida, contain adaptations of the St. Andrew's cross, while the New Mexican state flag depicts a red sun on a yellow background, representing the spiritual history of the Zia Pueblo.

Laremy Tunsil kicks off draft day with school visits
Laremy Tunsil will be one of 25 prospects attending the 2016 NFL Draft on Thursday night, but before he arrives at the Auditorium Theatre, the Ole Miss offensive tackle spent his Thursday morning visiting Chicago schools.

Tunsil was long considered the favorite to be the No. 1 selection, but the Tennessee Titans traded the pick to the Los Angeles Rams, who are instead expected to draft a quarterback with the first pick. Then, the Philadelphia Eagles traded up to nab the No. 2 pick, and they too are expected to take a quarterback.
Still, the talented offensive tackle is unlikely to stay on the board long and is widely expected to be a top 10 pick.

My name is Nicholas Podany. I could give you my resume here, but there will be links to those later on down the road. I'm a creator in mind, and a collaborator at heart. Actually, that's a pretty good summation. Here are my resumes! Enjoy the website.
After having written too many overly romanticized pop songs, I decided to write one about taking things regrettably fast...
Falling Stars A New Original
Recently, I had the honor of recording with my old cast member, Mike Nappi, a brilliant trumpet player as well as actor. After a few hours in "the studio" [which is really just my bedroom (which is really just my apartment)], my song "Falling Stars" had a brand new soul to it. So here it is in full, for free! (photo by Steven Osborne)
I've also written some plays, series, and short plays! Not many, but certainly a few. If any of that interests you, you can CLICK HERE to read sections of my writing.
If you've gotten this far, well done. I'm surprised you haven't clicked on any links yet, but at least you found this last little bit of text at the bottom of the page. I don't know what you were expecting... perhaps a joke?
What's blue and smells like red paint?
Blue paint!
Not my best, but a joke nonetheless! If you weren't looking for a joke, but instead more of my website, there are links at the top of the page guiding you to different pages, links, and even a way to contact me directly. If you don't know what 'links' or 'pages' are, there's really nothing more I can do to help you. Thanks for making it all the way down here!

Simulation of thermal signature reduction
Shown below are axial progressions of y-z PLIF cuts in Mach 1.5, 2D jets. The top jet has a sonic secondary parallel flow issuing from a convergent nozzle (reference case). The bottom jet has a sonic secondary parallel flow issuing from a convergent-divergent nozzle. It is seen that MESPI cuts the potential core region by roughly one half and causes a rapid decline in fluorescence signal. There is a rough analogy between the distribution of a scalar (in this case the fluorescent tracer) and the distribution of total temperature in a compressible jet.

Another masseur has claimed that John Travolta wanted a happy finish after an in-house rub-a-dub-dub. He is claiming $2million in damages for sexual harassment.
*does a crash course at the YMCA*
The plaintiff (why do they blind us with their legalize?) claims that whilst going about his business in a hotel room in Atlanta, Georgia on January 28th 2012 – funnily enough when we were passing through. We didn't even smell the Johnson's! – John Travolta came over all same-sex oriented, dropped the sheet, and behaved in the way only a greedy bottom knows how.
These are the details, according to the law suit, which was filed yesterday morning in Los Angeles. Funnily enough when we were leaving!
'Travolta removed the entire sheet from his body, and he claimed the sheets were sticky and could not tolerate the heat.
'Travolta further indicated that he likes a lot of "glutes" work, meaning a massage on his buttocks.'
Well, it is a problem area.
'Travolta suddenly turned on his stomach with his legs wide open with a full erection. He then tried to force Doe Plaintiff 2's (stop blinding us!) hand on Travolta's scrotum.
'Then, Travolta started to grab, rub and caress Doe Plaintiff 2's upper thighs and buttocks.
'Travolta still had an erection and wanted his abdominals done (problem area!), but Travolta's erection was in the way and he refused to have his penis covered by a sheet of a pillow case.
'Travolta started masturbating about 15 minutes left in the session, and Doe Plaintiff 2 said he had to go.'
Quite what John Travolta's weave was doing at the time is anybody's guess. Doing cartwheels for light relief, probably.
John Travolta's lawyer, Marty Singer, says the accusation is just 'as absurd and ridiculous as the first one.' Even though we can't take anything a Marty says seriously.
The Daily Mail, incidentally, refers to Doe Plaintiff 2 as a 'male masseur'.
'Travolta's erection was in the way.',
