Introduction
There are people who have some anxiety about the impact of promotional balloons on the environment and safety issues of printed promotional items and around the effects of working with latex. However fear is often a derivative of ignorance so becoming knowledgeable enables people to make informed choices. Where there is understanding and information, the mind does not need to fill in the empty spaces with fearful conjecture and catastrophising.
The idea of balloon safety is not really about balloons so much as the materials from which they are made. The mass of balloons are made from latex or natural rubber which is actually a very environmentally friendly product and has been around for decades. More recently foil balloons have been produced that are made from thin non-stretch fabric which is basically metalized plastic film which does not bio-degrade like latex. This type of balloon is invariably filled with helium so that it rises up and is secured with a ribbon so that it doesn’t float away.
So what is Latex?
Balloons have been around for many years and the latex from which modern balloons are made come from the Hevea Brasiliensis tree or as many people know it, the rubber tree. These trees which grow in tropical climes, such as South East Asia, do not need to be cut down to obtain the rubber. The mature trees are tapped regularly by making a Y cut in the bark and placing a small container at the bottom of the Y to collect the milky sap which oozes from the tree. This is the basic latex from which so many different|variable|diverse} goods are made. Latex is a highly sustainable product providing work and income for people in some of the poorest countries in the world.
The management and maintenance of the rubber plantations means there is no deforestation, which helps in the issue of global warming. The trees use carbon dioxide and release oxygen back into the atmosphere, which is the opposite process to industrial pollution which contributes to the significant increase in greenhouse gases. So as a basic resource it is an environmentally friendly, regenerating product.
Uses of Natural Rubber latex (NRL)
Natural Rubber latex (NRL) is used in thousands of everyday items we take for granted in our modern lifestyle. A balloon is just one of many commercial products we recognise as obviously being made from rubber. Some of the more essential items made from NRL are car, lorry, plane and bus tyres which carry us and the essential consumer products we use daily, around the world. vital items such as underwear elastic and elastic used in fashion day wear, shoe soles, carpets, rubber bands and erasers have been in use for many decades. More recent consumer necessities come in the form of buttons in calculators and remote controls.
Balloon Publicity
Balloons races or balloon releases are a way of generating publicity at major fund raising events. A message or company logo is printed onto the balloons and then released into the sky in large numbers. This is a dramatic sight when thousands of helium filled balloons of different colours rise up into the atmosphere all together.
Balloon releases are required by law to only use rubber balloons filled with the appropriate balloon gas.
Rubber balloons inflated with Helium typically only stay afloat for a few hours days if they are not punctured by birds, trees or other sharp objects that they might encounter. The reason is that helium atoms are smaller than the pores in the latex and so gradually seep through and the balloon deflates. To retain the buoyancy and increase the float time of a gas filled balloon the inside can be coated with a special polymer solution which reduces leakage.
Safety and Environmental Concerns
The concerns over the years from the general public have been about the impact of large numbers of balloons being released into the atmosphere. Naturally some people believe that massed balloons may be harmful to wild, farm and domestic animals and that on landing they may pose a serious hazard through ingestion or entanglement.
However all latex balloons are completely natural coming from the Hevea tree and they break down at about the same rate as oak leaves. Oxidation starts to occur within an hour of a balloon being inflated and during the process of decay, by natural exposure, nutrients are released into the soil. The oxidation is sometimes visible as a cloudy appearance when balloons are exposed to outdoor conditions, direct sunlight and heat. However research shows that latex balloons under varying conditions take about 6 months to decompose so they are even suitable for composting.
Reputable balloon companies should only use bio-degradable latex these days. For example, all balloons produced by B-loony, the UK’s largest manufacturer of printed promotional balloons, are made from bio-degradable latex.
It is estimated that 90/95% of balloons released rise to an altitude of approximately 5 miles at which height the cold will cause the balloon to become brittle and shatter in to miniscule pieces. Balloon bits are unlikely to cause harm on landing, even if ingested, as the latex and the dyes used in latex colouring are non-toxic and completely bio-degradable.
Regulations on Balloon Releases
The UK’s Balloon Trade Association NABAS, is very aware of its responsibilities to the environment and has issued a Code of Conduct for balloon releases giving advice to ensure the protection of the environment. Only natural rubber latex may be used for balloon releases. Balloons must be hand tied and labels attached are required to be recycle-able paper. Plastic valves or wire should not be used.
Any Large balloon event of more than 5,000 balloons requires permission from the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) which has to be applied for in writing at least 28 days before the event. The CAA like to be informed also for balloon releases of up to 5,000 balloons.

Printed Balloons
Lately I was looking for a balloon which had a 90 printed on it because my grandmother is ninety this week and we are giving her a big celebratory party. However there were no balloons in the store where I was looking, that had any number above 60. Maybe the suppliers of printed balloons don’t think people over 60 want to be reminded of their age. I did think it would be a good idea to have a balloon which could have the number you want attached once it is inflated. They do it with some birthday cards where you buy a separate number and stick it onto the card of your choice.
Helium balloons are the perfect accessory or decoration to mark a special event.
There are a great number of possibilities for the use of helium and printed balloons. They can be used as a marketing tool to deliver a message about a company or event, or to highlight a product launch or marketing campaign. The logo or message is specially printed onto the balloons by the company supplying the service and they will also deliver the balloons to the customer. It is obviously more economical to order large quantities and for balloon releases or races this would not be a problem.
Health and Safety for People Working with Latex
People who work with Latex on a regular basis have to be concerned about the long term effects of exposure to the material. Natural rubber latex is a plant product and as such contains proteins to which some individuals may become allergic. The proteins naturally present in latex may cause allergies either through direct contact with skin or by inhalation of a powder. Latex gloves may be powdered with cornstarch which attach to NRL allergens causing them to be airborne and possibly inhaled when the gloves are used. Those most at risk are health care workers who use latex gloves on a daily basis and those undergoing multiple surgical procedures.
Some people experience irritation to the skin on contact with NRL but it is not a true allergy but rather an irritant contact dermatitis. Sensitised people however may discover they have an allergic reaction when in direct contact with balloons. Other individuals who may have an allergic reaction are people who already suffer with atopic allergic diseases such as hay fever, asthma and some irritant skin conditions or a history of certain food allergies of banana, avocado, kiwi and chestnuts.
If you are prone to any of the above conditions then it is probably not wise to work in a company producing items made from NRL. However cornstarch is not used as a de-tack powder in the manufacture of toy balloons. Instead they are lightly coated with an inorganic filler such as calcium carbonate diatomaceous earth and clays which do not bind to latex proteins. Natural Rubber Latex is a very cost effective material that is widely used throughout the world and for the majority of the population there is no form of clinical risk.

Another great low cost advertising give away are hand-held flags, or hand waivers as they are also known. These are very cost effective and will provide a colourful impact to your event. Because they are made of paper they are bio-degradable and can be made of recycled materials. It is easy to have messages printed on them and you can create your own scheme and effect.
Hand held flags are small rectangles of paper, which can be printed on one or both sides, and mounted on a plastic or biodegradable stick. These paper flags have become particularly popular over recent years because they are colourful, attractive, and can be purchased at unbelievably low prices. Paper flags are more often used today to advertise and promote fund raising projects, special occasions or sporting events. Youngsters particularly enjoy waving flags as part of the crowd during a special event.
Special effects can be created using hand waving flags by controlled choreographed actions on the part of the participants.
Obviously paper flags are a great way to get your promotional message across. They can be printed on one or both sides with the company logo and they can also be used as very economical promotional gifts.
Because paper flags are made from paper and the print area is flat and a set size, it is possible to choose almost any artwork you can think of to customise your event. The quality and finish of the flags is exceptionally high because they are digitally printed. The printing firm will probably have an impressive range of paper flags designs as samples because they usually hold back a few from each print run.
All samples will be from real events ranging from world promotions, product launches, sports teams events or fund raising campaigns and there will be no limit to the number that can be printed. Paper flags are a popular choice for other promotional events such as VIP visits, sales events and advertising. Many football fans carry paper flags with their club logos or colours to advertise their enthusiasm for their favourite club whether it’s the Premier League, the World Championship, or a local cup final.
Foil Balloons
Foil balloons are very attractive with shiny reflective surfaces and can be printed with full colour pictures and patterns to a customer’s order. Foil balloons have the advantage of being lightweight, longer-lasting, with increased buoyancy. They are perfect for eye catching promotions, special celebrations and for product launches.
There are further environmental concerns about the safety of the foil balloon because they don’t biodegrade or shred like rubber balloons. However they are not allowed to be used in balloon releases or races, and need to be carefully disposed of after use. The most important characteristic of metalized nylon or foil balloons is its ability to keep the helium gas from escaping for several weeks.
Balloons for Work
Latex balloons are an environmentally friendly product. Not only do they provide entertainment and recreational use bringing pleasure to thousands of children, they are valuable in a work situation for research, medicine, promotion and education.
Balloons are regularly used for meteorological work and in more recent years they are used in some medical procedures for a variety of conditions such as angioplasty, catheters for weight loss, and sinus procedures. Also balloons are a widely used teaching device to demonstrate Newton’s third law of physics and the functioning of a rocket. Once the balloon is inflated, the mouth of the balloon is released and the greater pressure of air inside, forces its way out so that the elasticity of the balloon contracts and the balloon is propelled forward making a rude noise. This is fundamentally how a rocket works.
Without balloons valuable services could not be performed and the public would be the losers in the long run. Professional quality balloons are made from 100% biodegradable latex.
Conclusion
The concerns about balloon safety primarily arise from the materials of which they are made. Although Latex is a natural substance and has been used for many years without harm, people who work in the arena of manufacture are exposed to some degree of risk and employers will conduct thorough risk assessments . Latex balloons are considered very safe and environmentally friendly, but problems will arise when a balloon is inflated using a plastic valve or with a ribbon attached which are not biodegradable.
There are a number of industry bodies which control and monitor balloon activities on a large scale and health and safety regulations in place for those working in industries manufacturing or using latex. The advantages of having and using latex products, certainly outweighs any perceived dangers of such an environmentally safe material.

Do wrinkle creams work?
Wouldn’t it be nice if you could just rub on some skin care for anti aging wrinkle cream like they do on those infomercials and all your wrinkles would disappear? Well unfortunately it isn’t as simple as that and even those that do have some positive effect on your facial antiaging can only do so much. you are never going to get the same positive results that you would with say Botox treatment however using good quality wrinkle creams on a regular basis will help to keep your skin in better condition and that will help you to remain younger looking.
Collagen is the support structure that helps the skin to retain a youthful appearance and remain firm. Most of the best wrinkle products on the market will have ingredients in them that will help to stimulate the production of collagen in the body. The more collagen that is present the better the tone and condition of the skin and this will help to slow down and sometimes reverse the aging process.These products aren’t as good as medical procedures but they do have their benefits in low costs and the convenience of use. With many people reluctant to use any form of medical procedure they can certainly help to make considerable improvements if the right product is chosen for your wrinkle cure and antiaging skin care problem.
No doubt you will read the many glowing testimonials that are available to help sell almost any product on the market but there have been many tests done that have shown that there is no correlation between the benefits that these anti wrinkle products deliver and the prices that you have to pay. Just because you are paying a high price doesn’t mean the product is any better. Try small samples of products that you believe will help you and look at the results with an open mind to see whether they are worthwhile or not. They can certainly help you but no two people will get the same results and your results are all that matter.

Stock market trends is more art than science. What makes stock prices rise and fall? Laws of supply and demand - as per basic financial theory - is the one factor that comes to mind. Shouldn’t it just be as simple as whether or not a company is making or losing money, and how much and at what rate? Sounds like a straightforward conclusion, but it’s anything but. The only simplistic thing that can be said is that a stock price is based on what people are willing to pay for it. And yes, if a company is profitable it’s stock price is sure to increase, because profitable companies are likely to be able to pay dividends, or their stock price simply rises because more people want it and the hope that what was purchased for a low price can be sold again for a much larger amount and this is the way you would make money.
Everyone’s heard stories of how someone’s penny stock picks turned into a gold mine and increased significantly in value and made them rich. But is this all true? Other people say that for every penny stock pick there’s a failed investment waiting around the corner. Luckily, that is not really the case either. We’re not discounting penny stocks. By no means. It’s just a field of stock trading that could be explored that carries some underlying risk that everyone should know of.
When searching for stocks that offer high dividends it is good to find stocks with a small debt, and a high forecasted yield level. Search through a service such as Yahoo Finance or Google Finance so you can filter stocks by their dividend yields.
Full-service brokers are actively involved with things such as: how to buy stocks. They can provide you with stock trading tips and recommendations. You can employ their services to manage most aspects of your portfolio and tell you when you should consider buying or selling. With discount brokers, you still need to rely on yourself to know whether it’s good to buy or sell. Online brokers on the other hand, they are relatively cheap but you really are on your own. But if you fancy doing your own research and is thorough enough, it can be a good option.
Various news items can have a significant effect on stock prices. If the media just announced that a certain corporation has just devised a better mousetrap that will dominate the market, it is expected that their stock prices will increase. In the same manner, if a CEO of a corporation on the stock market is involved in a scandal or similar event that can be perceived as a liability for the company, it wouldn’t be surprising if the company’s stock went down.

I came across a specialist book publisher in the UK recently that focuses on publishing green books. In other words, guides for companies and other organisations that want to promote green behaviour amongst their staff.
Green Book Guides publishes a wide range of handbooks, including the well known Transition Handbook and other titles all aimed at motivating people to take environmentally useful actions such as biking to work more, making more use of compost bins more, reducing food wastage and reducing water usage.
It’s an unusual publisher in that it has a goal to improve the world’s environment rather than just publish titles about a particular niche topic. It tackles head on the problem that we all face: that the environment is our shared problem but that we
must to act as individuals to improve things. Education of course is key to helping people change their behaviour in a way that fosters good environmental practices and this is where Green Books Guides comes in. It distributes its titles via existing organisations such as government agencies and businesses in order to reach groups of people who then can take actions individually but with the support of a culture of change: if everyone in an organisation gets a handbook on say, greening the office then it is more likely that individuals will make changes than if they bought a single copy from a bookshop.
If you want a book about reducing energy consumption, stopping food waste or how to make your office greener they are worth a look. In fact many government and quasi-governmental organisations (so called quangos in the UK) are actively charged with implementing environmental change targets so that countries can meet their environmental obligations. These organisations benefit from bulk purchase discounts which makes sense but even if you are an individual buyer, you can always learn something new.

What is the Pritikin Diet?
Amongst the million and one diets out there, you may find the Pritikin Diet to be one that you would take interest in. You know
that there are so many to choose from and that you have to try them individually to see that they work. Then there is the time
and the money that you invest into any particular diet. Finding one is challenging. Sticking to the one that works can be even more challenging.
The Pritikin Diet consists of low fat meals and small healthy snacks. If you think that you can handle just that for your everyday meals, then this diet may be the right one for you. You will find that only 10% of the diet is made up of fat. There have been over 70K people that have actually put this diet to the test in places of research. They have been researching the diet since 1976.
In the establishment they learned how to prepare the proper meals. not to mention stress management and proper exercising as well. The creater of the diet has also written several books for the convenience of the dieters. These include
recipes and helpful hints. Nathan Pritikin has also written about diet tips such lowering cholesterol and advising them on ways to reduce stress.
If you rely more on the type of calorie (or the calorie dense) then it is more of an advantage to you to enjoy all of the foods that fall into this category without worrying about how much is too much. Such foods are oatmeal and apples, etc. Basically in this diet you are watching out for high calorie foods.
Is the Pritikin Diet for You?
If you are the type that likes vegetables and healthier foods, then this is definitely the diet for you. Of course that is also to your doctor’s discretion. As with any diet, it takes you trying it (after looking it over) to see whether it will work for you. Some people watch their calorie intake anyway, so this may very well be the best diet for them to begin with.
There are things that you may not eat and it is a good idea to keep that in mind when you are deciding if this is the best diet for you. Such things include actually keeping up with your calorie intake. If you are willing to closely follow the diet and keep up with your food and calorie intake, not to mention eat low calorie foods, you may consider the diet.
To Go On the Pritikin Diet or Not to Go on It?
What are the reasons to go on this particular diet? As with any diet there art benefits and then there are downfalls that come
with it as well. The good side of the diet is that it brings balance to your body and calorie intake. Of course this means that you have to invest in healthier foods. Sometimes fruits and vegetables can be costly.
If you are not one to exercise, you may not like this diet because you are not allowed to consume any calories unless you plan on burning them off with exercising. Are
you willing to sacrifice sweets and replace them with fresh produce? If you answered yes, then this may just be the diet for you!
You must keep track of the foods that you are consuming and not only that but the amount of calories that are found in the foods. There are things that you need to consider before you begin the diet.
What Exactly Can I Eat Again?
First of all you need to recognize the foods that are high in calories and steer away from them. Just remember that you want to eat a calorie free diet as much as possible. in order to be full, you will want to buy foods that are high in fiber. Such foods are any kind of fresh vegetables, like broccoli. Then there are fruits like oranges and grapefruit. If you like beans, these are extremely high in fiber as well.
Another great food that is full of fiber is unprocessed grains. If you eat these types of food, they give you that feeling of fullness. You are also allowed to eat snacks that aren’t laden with calories as well. A list of the foods that are suggested are barley, brown rice, dark green lettuce, beans, apples, squash, onions, strawberries, pears, potatoes and bananas.
Okay I Want to Try it so How Does it Work?
First of all, you want to make sure that you exercise. With most diets, it is essential to exercise, too. It is all about the amount of calories our body should consume per pound. If you are balancing foods that are full of calories and then the fiber, then you are doing well to balance out your calorie intake. The main purpose is to get your caloric density down to a level where you will lose weight. It is suggested to eat whole foods that are unprocessed. Then there are carbohydrate rich foods that should be included.
