If you’re interested in a greener aesthetic for your interiors and exteriors, then Artificial Plants have a lot to offer. Thanks to advances in design and finish it is often difficult to distinguish between an artificial plant and the real thing today. As a result, there is no compromise when it comes to appearance and feels and this provides many more options where greenery and plants are concerned. If you’re looking to bring the advantages of plants to your surroundings then there are five key benefits to the artificial option.
1. A MORE COST EFFECTIVE APPROACH
Real plants inevitably come with a larger cost attached. Some may be cheaper to buy up front but will require ongoing tending to that always comes with a price tag. Real plants die and need to be replaced and may require increasingly bigger pots as they grow. Plus, a real plant may arrive as a seedling that takes years to reach its full height to have the impact that you want. Artificial Trees arrive fully mature with only the up front cost to pay.
2. CONSIDERABLY REDUCED MAINTENANCE
As well as the ongoing tending that real plants require – pruning, watering, fertilisers etc – the plant may also need to be moved to ensure adequate sunlight, water or draining. Changes in temperature could be problematic and you may periodically need a specialist to come in and tend to your plants. Artificial Grasses are very different – you have a low quality product then you may have to move them occasionally to stop fade but other than that it’s really only necessary to wipe the leaves down occasionally if they start to gather dust.
3. GET EXACTLY WHAT YOU WANT
If you don’t have the right environment or space for the plants that you’re looking for then you may find your options severely restricted with real greenery. Tropical blooms, for example, may need sunlight or a humid atmosphere that you just can’t provide. This isn’t the case with artificial plants – you can create exactly the aesthetic you want with no limitations. Plus, the range of Artificial Vines is so broad today that you’ll have a huge amount of choice when it comes to your options.
4. ENJOY WELLBEING BENEFITS
Real plants do often provide filtration when it comes to the air that we breathe and artificial plants won’t do that. However, research has found that in terms of wellbeing benefits such as improving mood and morale, as well as productivity and focus, Artificial Leaf Vines really work.
5. AVOIDING ISSUES WITH ALLERGIES
Real plants can be the source of a lot of issues for humans sharing the same space. For example, they can trigger allergies and may even be responsible for poisoning if they are touched or consumed by children or pets. Artificial Hanging Plants don’t come with any of these problems and there’s no need to worry about pollen, which is the source of allergies for 12+ million people in the UK alone.
There are some obvious benefits to opting for artificial plants. From variety to cost effectiveness they win every time.
Gone are the days when live plants were the norm. Today, artificial plants are making their way into indoor and outdoor spaces. Homeowners can opt for plastic or silk plants that are designed, shaped and painted to look and feel like the real thing. If you are looking for durable, low-maintenance plants, then faux trees and flowers are the best choices. They have many benefits compared to natural plants, and some of the advantages are listed below.
6. Low Maintenance
Artificial plants (Including artificial outdoor plants) require no sunlight, watering, pruning, and addition of fertilizers, thus you can have beutiful plants without the need for lots of maintenance. You can dust them every 3 to 4 months and they last for many years. The faux plants that Pacific Silkscapes provides are extremely easy to maintain and look after. While real plants need regular sunlight to grow in a healthy manner, Artificial Bonsai do not require regular exposure to sunlight. No need for fertilizer, pesticides, or herbicides. You won’t have root rot or growth problems. There is no need for soil. You won’t require interior sunlight or temperature control. They do not shed their leaves seasonally. No more worrying about water and chemical damage to your carpet.
7. Security
If your building is a bank or government facility, you don’t need to have someone coming to the water and maintain the plants. In addition, with Covid-19, there’s less exposure to outsiders spreading the virus.
8. No seasonal changes
Live plants seasonally shed their flowers and leaves and change their appearance. Artificial Potted Cactus are not affected by changes in seasons. Do they always stay great looking, even with very little care.
9. Bring the outdoors inside
High quality realistic artificial plants and trees add “life” to a room. They have a calming effect and studies have shown that they improve productivity in the workplace.
10. Rearrange with Ease
Since artificial plants don’t grow or require water, that also means they don’t have to be planted in natural soil. Additionally, they won’t be “shocked” by being relocated, unlike live plants. Often, Indoor Artificial Trees are supported by materials like foam, making them more lightweight and easy to rearrange. All you need to do is pick the artificial plant up along with its supporting base and choose a new location.
11. Large selection
It doesn’t matter what your plant preferences are, Pacific Silkscapes has a wide range of landscaping products for you to choose from. At Pacific Silkscapes, we custom design artificial trees and awesome silk flower arrangements. You can choose from almost any kind of foliage you could think of for a custom-designed tree, floor plant, or silk flower arrangement. Tell us what size you need, what spray to use for the trees or flowers for the arrangement, and let us create magic. We aim to create your perfect tree.
12. Cost-Effective and you get a return on investment
Another reason why you should consider installing Artificial Leaf Vines in your home or office space is that these silk plants may look upscale and expensive, but they are surprisingly affordable. Perfect for reducing maintenance costs. The faux silk plants are competitively priced. Unlike live plants, indoor and outdoor artificial plants do not require additional money in fertilizers or in hiring a professional landscaper for maintenance and care. So, if you’re looking to decorate your corporate office, restaurant, casino or assisted living facility to consider an artificial silk plant landscape from Pacific Silkscapes. Check out our post on converting live plants to silk plants.

Newborns are best protected when travelling by a Newborn Baby Car Seat approved from birth (Group 0), that is specifically designed for the unique and delicate postural needs of a newborn, with adequate recline and padding.
Using an infant car seat is the first step towards keeping your baby safe in the car. Correctly installing it and strapping your baby in securely is equally important. Even if you buy the safest possible car seat for your baby, if it's not fitted or used correctly, it won't be able to perform as it was designed in a crash.
The first time that you buckle your baby into the Group 0+ Car Seat will be when you are being discharged home from hospital. Read our guide below so that you are well prepared for your baby’s first journey home.
Here are some important facts and steps to ensure you keep your baby as safe as possible while travelling in the car.
1. READ THE MANUAL
The best way to ensure that you use your car seat correctly is to read the manual! The manual contains vital information that you need to be aware of in order for the car seat to perform optimally in a crash. The manual will advise where the car seat may be installed in the car and it will instruct you on how to install it correctly. It will also tell you how to adjust the car seat to fit your baby properly. Do not improvise or go against anything stated in the manual. Most European manufacturers do not allow any kind of adjustments or additions such as using a pool noodle to recline it, so be careful not to do anything that is not explicitly stated in the manual.
2. INSTALL THE CAR SEAT CORRECTLY
All European car seats must have 3 points of contact with the seatbelt or vehicle anchors. The Toddler Car Seat can either be installed with the vehicle's 3-point seatbelt, or with isofix. ALWAYS read your particular car seat's manual before installing the car seat.
a) SECURING THE CAR SEAT TO THE VEHICLE
Correct installation of an infant seat used without a base:
When installing an infant car seat without a base, using only the seatbelt, the seatbelt makes a snake-like pattern once routed correctly called Serpentine Routing.
Place the car seat on the vehicle bench with the baby facing backwards. You will see blue seatbelt guides on the car seat; 2 over the front of the seat and 1 at the back of the seat. Route the lapbelt of the seatbelt through the 2 seatbelt guides in the front of the seat i.e. where the baby’s legs/lap would go. Buckle the seatbelt in.
Pull the seatbelt nice and tight, then route the shoulder belt around the back of the car seat and through the blue seatbelt guide at the back of the Toddler Car Seat Group 0+1+2+3, making sure there are no twists in the seatbelt. Pull out any slack in the seatbelt to get it in securely. You can watch our video HERE on how to install a car seat using the seatbelt.
Correct installation of an infant seat with an ISOfix base: Attach the 2 ISOfix anchors to the vehicles ISOfix brackets and make sure the indicators turn green. Push the base into the vehicle backrest to tighten it. Drop the load leg until it makes full contact with the floor and the indicator turns green. Click the car seat onto the base and check that the indicator turns green. If you are using an ISOfix base, you should not use the seatbelt as well.
For an infant seat being used with a belted base:
Route the seatbelt through the base as indicated by the manual. If a load leg is present, lower it until it makes full contact with the floor. Check that all indicators are green.
*Note that load legs may not be installed over underfloor storage compartments. Contact your vehicle dealership to order an approved filler, if you have underfloor storage compartments. Alternatively, buy a car seat without a load leg.
3. PUT THE HANDLE BAR IN THE UPRIGHT POSITION.
The handle bar acts as a rollbar in a crash, and prevents the Toddler Car Seat Group 0+1 hitting into the backrest of the car. Check your manual for the correct position it should be in.
4. RECLINE ANGLE
Infants have poor head control and are at risk of positional asphyxiation if their car seat is too upright. The correct recline angle for a baby without head control is approximately 45 degrees. If your car seat is too upright, you can try installing it without the base (if you are using one) to get a more reclined position.
If the car seat is still too upright, some manufacturers permit you to tilt the Child Car Seat backward very slightly after the seatbelt has been tightened around it first. But please check this with your manufacturer before doing this.
5. CHECKING FOR MOVEMENT
Up to 1 inch (2.5cm) of movement is permitted. You can check this by giving the car seat a firm shake at the belt path or near the ISOfix points with your non-dominant hand. Do not be alarmed if it moves more at the headrest. Group 1+2+3 Car Seats will move more at the top of the car seat, but they should not move more than an inch at the belt path/ISOfix points.
6. ADJUSTING THE HARNESS AND HEADREST
Please refer to your manual for instructions on how to adjust the headrest and harness to the correct height. For rear facing car seats, the harness must be at or just below the shoulders. The bottom of the headrest should usually be in line with the bottom of the baby’s ears, and the head should be less than an inch below the top of the headrest.

The tamper evident security tape on your shipping box – try it for yourself
Seal a box of your choice with the Security Void Tape and try to open the package by peeling off the Security Tape. The void tape effect is immediately visible. It is no longer possible to reverse this effect, the colour change is permanent. Secure Packaging: the simple and absolutely effective protection against manipulation of the packaging was developed in-house by Securikett and includes several protective components.
SecurityTapes Manufacturer: The wonders of printing technology & diversity
The proprietary and innovative manufacturing process makes Securikett adhesive tapes unique on the world market. Our Total Transfer Security Tapes outperform standard and often freely available products in terms of counterfeit protection and reliability. Additionally, various tests, such as heat, manipulation, drop and artificial aging tests – based on industry standards – clearly demonstrate their superiority – over lower security commodity adhesive tapes.
In addition to our PaperVOID seals, we have recently started offering sustainable paper-based security adhesive tapes. These adhesive Partial Transfer Security Tapes, which are available in different colors, are particularly suitable for use on cardboard packaging, as the entire cardboard including the adhesive tape can be recycled together. This means that it is no longer necessary to separate the raw materials. Thanks to the integrated security VOID effect, which leaves an irreversible pattern on the packaging when it is removed, it is possible to instantly see whether the package has already been opened.
Easy to use
As well as the adhesive tapes in our standard range, tapes with customised void designs, in particular, meet the highest standards of design and security. The packaging tapes can be processed using manual dispensers as well as large rolls in automated packaging lines. You can purchase robust manual dispensers from us.
Your parcels are guaranteed to catch the eye
From subtle to conspicuous
Our SecurityTape – that we will soon also be offering in our online shop – ranges from neutral, single-colour tapes to tapes with a gold effect or fantasy designs. We guarantee that your customers will be amazed. Our triple-void technology offers quite surprising effects, even with neutral, single-colour tapes.
Customized SecurityTapes are not available for sale on the open market
The Security Bag Sealing Tape can be designed by our design experts to match your brand identity, there are virtually no limits. Counterfeiters no longer have a chance to buy these void tapes, even if they were to order from us as a supposed customer: Our internal organisation is set up in such a way that we know whether the person placing the order is actually a 100% legitimate customer. We can also adjust the type and weight of the adhesive as well as the material combinations. This is another advantage over off-the-shelf packaging tapes.
“For years, some of these eggshells have been converted by the rendering industry into animal feed supplements. And these same eggshells also have components of value to the papermaking, pharmaceutical and biochemistry industries,” explains Jeff Hsieh, a professor in the Georgia Tech School of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering and the study’s principal investigator. Professor Hsieh and his research team are concentrating their efforts on using the main component, calcium carbonate (CaCO3), in papermaking applications.
Eggshell components: Valuable resources
According to Professor Hsieh, the eggshells are approximately 95% calcium carbonate and 4.5% membrane. The calcium carbonate in the eggshells, he says, can be a substitute for mined minerals used to improve brightness, opacity and strength in the Eggshell Paper. It can also potentially be used to improve the appearance of the paper, making it easier to print on as well as smoother, more opaque and brighter when used as a coating. The eggshell membrane, on the other hand, contains 10% collagen, which can be used as a raw material in the manufacture of amino acids. The remainder of the membrane can be used as an additive for animal feed.
With around 7% of the world trade affected by tampering or counterfeiting each year, it should come as no surprise that Security Labels have become the answer to keeping products and valuable assets safe after they leave your warehouse or business. Let Expert Labels help protect your products and assets.
Tamper-proof and tamper evident labels are just a few security products which are used by a whole host of companies to protect their goods.
With a wide range of security labels to choose from, it is important to pick a label which suits your products best.
At Expert Labels we have a pool of knowledge to draw from which can advise you to choose the appropriate security label. Call or email us to see what suits your products best.

What Does Downhole Tooling Mean?
Downhole tooling refers to the tools used downhole during drilling operations. Downhole Tools include drill bits, air hammer systems, mud mixers, transmitter housings, adapters, and reamers. Downhole tooling is very important in a drilling operation as it can impact the overall productivity of the machine.
Since tooling is prone to wear and tear the cost of tooling should be taken into account while considering the overall cost of operation.
Downhole tooling is selected based on the production goals of a project, geology, obstacles and ground conditions. Right tooling selection is governed by selecting the right drill bits, selecting the right sonde housing, and the correct back reaming accessories. Good downhole tooling can also help manage drilling fluid better. Since downhole tooling is an attachment, there is a possibility of losing the tools downhole.
Tooling should be sturdy, well-fitting and optimized for the drilling operation. A tool that breaks downhole can end up increasing wait time and thereby cost of the operation.
The term ‘Mechanical Set Packer’ probably doesn’t mean much to those not in the concrete repair industry. But for those close to chemical grouting, this term certainly brings about thoughts of both form and function. Mechanical packers are also referred to as ports, or more simply, packers. But we would like to be very clear that a port is not a packer.
Mechanical packers were designed to withstand high pressure injection applications by inserting them into pre-drilled holes in a concrete substrate at various diameters ranging most commonly from 1/4" – 5/8”. Mechanical packers feature a rubber base with a threaded shaft. As the threaded shaft is tightened, the rubber base is compressed, creating a compression seal inside the drill hole. The ultimate pressure tolerance is dependent upon the amount the rubber is expanded and the total surface area of the rubber base that is in contact with the drill hole. That is, a smaller diameter packer will have considerably less surface area of rubber compressed against the concrete side walls, and thus holding a lower amount of pressure when connected to high pressure equipment. Most job site and substrate conditions will permit successful injection results with a diameter of 3/8” – 1/2". Of course, some contractors have personal preference of smaller or larger sizes.
Packers also come in various types. Suppliers will market benefits of steel, brass, zinc, or aluminum. All things considered, Permanent Set Packers tend to be the most versatile packers as they are compatible with all chemical grout types, while the brass, aluminum, and zinc can exhibit signs of deterioration when using oxidizing agents such as the salt component in a polyacryate gel. However, some contractors insist that the breakdown is not as quick as marketed by suppliers, therefore utilizing brass and aluminum packers in these applications as well.
Each packer features an anti-return ball valve that is opened under pressure, allowing the passage of chemical grouts. Upon depressurizing, the ball valve will close, prohibiting the return flow of the injection resin out of the drill hole. This ball valve can be located on the top of the packer, in the base of the packer, or even freely-floating in the packer shaft to allow for maximum flow. There are pros and cons to each ball valve location depending on job site condition and application and finishing techniques.
Lastly, there are plastic alternatives commonly referred to as ‘bang-in’ or ‘hammer-in’. These Hydraulic Set Packer do not have the threaded metal shaft, but as they are driven into the drill hole, the same compression seal theory takes hold as the tapered edges become lodged into the drill hole sides. Another form of plastic ports is a plastic, surface-mounted version that is commonly used in epoxy injection and/or in the event that drilling into the substrate would be considered harmful or ill-advised.
While every effort is put forth before drilling begins to ensure a successful well, not every well hits hydrocarbons at a commercially productive level. Statistically, wildcat (or exploratory) wells have a one in seven chance of discovering oil or gas. While six may be dry holes, one in the group can make a big enough difference to outweigh all the risks.
Once drilling operations have been completed, it is important for drillers, engineers and geologists to determine whether to move on to the next phase: completion for production. Formation Test Tools ascertain if there are enough hydrocarbons to produce from a well, as well as provide important information to design the well completion and production facilities.
Used to establish formation pressure, permeability, and reservoir and formation fluid characterization, there are three major methods of formation testing that help to reveal the downhole formation: well logging, core sampling and drill stem tests.
In the oil field, knowledge is power. The more the industry learns about the subsurface, the more it can optimize everything from drill bits and completion designs to enhanced oil recovery techniques, which ultimately translates to higher returns and smaller environmental footprints.
Understanding what is happening thousands of feet beneath the surface must always require inferences, but between more robust and affordable Downhole Cleaning Tools and models that can turn data into deeper insights, it is becoming easier to picture downhole events at the surface.
Wired drill pipe can enable operators to get more information from the downhole. “Wired pipe’s general reliability has improved enough that we believe the technology will follow a similar adoption path as rotary steerable systems, making another step forward in the well construction process,” says Ian Silvester, chief executive officer for the U.S. subsidiary of Reelwell AS. “It will not only improve drilling efficiencies, but also help drillers put the well in the optimum place and deliver smooth, high-quality wellbores.

A staple in many American bathrooms is a simple and helpful toothbrush. These oral cleaners are seen in bathrooms in television, movies, pictures from and of celebrities, millions of homes, and so much more. These little brushes work hard to keep our mouths clean, and without their help, our oral health could suffer greatly and cause us to need significant surgeries to keep our health up to par.
HOW THE TOOTHBRUSH CAME TO BE
The Toothbrush has many iterations, with the earliest version that looks like the brushes we have today being invented in 1498 in China. These toothbrushes had boar hair bristles with a bone or bamboo handle to hold. These brushes were specially made until 1780 when William Addis began
mass producing them. Now, everyone had the ability to better their oral health and allow them to take care of themselves and their teeth in one of the best ways possible.
THE BEST TOOL FOR TEETH AND GUMS
Adult Toothbrushes are important for us to use every day, and they’re a tool every dentist across the world will recommend you use every day. By using toothbrushes, you are able to better your tooth and gum health and maintain a healthier mouth than if you decided to not brush your teeth at all. As always, these small steps, along with seeing a caring and helpful dentist, will help you achieve a healthy and happy smile your entire life.
WHY THE TOOTHBRUSH IS IMPORTANT FOR OUR HEALTH
Toothbrushes are available at most major grocery, convenience, and pharmacy stores. Major brands like Wal-Mart, Walgreens, and CVS should carry toothbrushes and other oral health tools. Their ease of access makes owning and replacing them convenient, and it allows people to switch between brands and types of toothbrushes to be able to find the one that they like the most. Having a Bamboo Toothbrush that works with you and feels the most comfortable is important, so be sure to switch around until you find the one that works for you.
Having a toothbrush that is comfortable and easy for you to use is important as it will make the few minutes you spend every day brushing your teeth easier and better. Brushing our teeth allows us to fight gum disease, cavities, and other oral health conditions that will cause us to lose our teeth and suffer other health issues like heart disease. By brushing our teeth, we can improve our oral health and our overall health, which means longer and happier lives for all that do the simple act of brushing their teeth.
Why isn’t brushing enough?
The tooth has 5 surfaces, but your toothbrush can only reach 3 of them. The two untouched surfaces are very close to the sides of other teeth, making it easy for food to get trapped in between. When food gets stuck in these gaps, it creates a breeding ground for bacteria to build up, creating plaque. This is where Floss comes in handy – as an interdental cleaning tool, it can get into these tight spaces and remove 80% of plaque.
Dentists recommend that you should floss once a day, the best time being in the evenings after you brush to remove any food and plaque at the end of the day. If you are concerned about dental diseases or have noticed any sensitivity or changes to your teeth, please book an appointment with Whistler Dental.
Dental Floss Picks are D-shaped pieces of plastic with a handle. They contain a single piece of floss stretched between the two arms and can be a convenient way to floss, especially if you’re on the go or have mobility issues with arthritis in your hands
But how can you make sure you use dental floss picks properly? And are they effective? Below, the dental experts at Northside Dental Clinic will answer these questions for you.
How do I floss with dental floss picks?
Dental floss picks aren’t the same as normal floss strings because they use the same small piece of floss throughout your entire mouth. It can also be difficult to curve the floss picks to get into all the different angles and surfaces of your teeth. However, if you use the right technique, flossing with dental floss picks can be an effective way to fight plaque and bacteria buildup between your teeth, on the surface of your teeth, and underneath your gums.
To start, here are three easy steps to follow while flossing with dental floss pics:
Flossing is just one of several options for interdental cleaning. It should be noted that floss is most advantageous in sites where healthy papillae fill embrasure spaces; open embrasures that often accompany tissue loss are likely better served by other devices, such as the Interdental Brush. To be effective, any interproximal device must be used properly; thus, there is need for quality research studies with comparable methodology to evaluate the effectiveness of floss and other interproximal devices in reducing gingival inflammation.
Typically made to appear clear so it will be less visible, orthodontic wax is made of natural substances, such as carnauba wax, beeswax or paraffin wax. It also contains some modifiers and fillers to make it function better. You can get tasteless wax for braces or products that come in a variety of flavors including mint.
Why Use Dental Wax for Braces?
Traditional orthodontic braces include metal brackets that hold wires, which run around the teeth. After a period of time, this wire is tightened to apply pressure to the teeth and help guide them into alignment. Sometimes brackets can irritate the soft tissue inside the mouth as they rub against it. The tongue and cheek are especially sensitive early on, since they haven’t had a chance to get used to the contact. While you wait for these areas to toughen, you can use orthodontic wax to cover a troublesome bracket and help protect your tongue, lips and cheek from abrasions.
How to Use Orthodontic Wax
Before touching your Orthodontic Wax, be sure to thoroughly wash your hands with soap to prevent bacteria from entering any sores within your mouth. You may also want to take this opportunity to brush your teeth, floss and clean your braces to avoid plaque buildup.
Once your hands and mouth are clean, identify any painful areas by examining your mouth for red marks or abrasions, or by feeling around with your fingertips. Once you find a troublesome area, locate the responsible bracket and dry it using a cloth or tissue.
Roll a small ball of wax in your fingers, allowing the heat from your hand to soften it, so you can shape it the way you want. Be careful not to use too much wax, as it may feel uncomfortable or fall off inside your mouth.
After molding the wax, press it over the wire or bracket responsible for your discomfort. Press firmly, surrounding the area as best you can, using your fingertip. You may also use your tongue to help shape the wax and mold it in place.
Once the wax is in place, your abrasions will have an opportunity to heal. Since there is an exceptional amount of blood flow in the mouth, this shouldn’t take very long. Re-apply the wax as needed to protect the irritated areas. In time, the soft tissue in your mouth will toughen, and you will need the wax less and less.
