Burning Love
Titanium dioxide
nanoparticles have been used increasingly in sunscreens in the last
decade to protect the skin because the tiny particles directly absorb the radiation from sunlight,
especially in the UVB range. But because the articles are so tiny —
generally about 100 nanometers across, compared with about 3,000 to
9,000 nanometers for a speck of dust — some scientists have raised
concerns about whether they might do harm by seeping through the skin
and into the bloodstream.
Concerns grew when studies in mice showed that when injected under the skin, titanium dioxide caused inflammation .
In addition, the International Agency on Cancer Research, part of the
World Health Organization, decided in 2006 to classify titanium dioxide
as a potential human carcinogen, based mostly on inhalation studies in
animals, though the group called the evidence “conflicting at best.”
But research has largely dismissed such concerns about absorption, and most experts say that sunscreens containing nanoparticles can be safely used.
More recently,
concerns have focused on the possibility that these nanoparticles could
promote skin aging. Nanoparticles tend to heat up a little when they
absorb UV radiation, says Paul Westerhoff, a professor at Arizona State
University’s School of Sustainable Engineering and the Built
Environment, and some research suggests that this process could cause
oxidative damage to the skin, particularly with one form, called anatase, when it was delivered in uncoated particles.
Dr. Westerhoff says
most manufacturers now coat the nanoparticles with silicon or aluminum
as a buffer against such harm and as a way to increase light
absorption. But, researchers say, there’s some evidence that those
coatings can break down over days or weeks, which may be an issue for
sunscreens stored too long.
“I’m not saying that titanium dioxide is bad,” Dr. Westerhoff said. But he noted recently in Environmental Science and Technology
that the products have not been thoroughly studied and are minimally
regulated. The only Food and Drug Administration rule for sunscreens is
that the titanium dioxide concentration be less than 25 percent (most
are 2 percent to 15 percent). “I’m just saying we need to figure out if
we should worry.”

What will you give?
A simple question, yet, an impactful response.
With so much discussion of Black Friday and Cyber
Monday following a Day of Thanksgiving—our thoughts
recently turned on this Tuesday to: “What will you give?”
Well, our staff here at Alliance Packaging Group, Inc., was
quick to answer and responded through action on that very important
question. Through Tuesday, December 3, 2013, our efforts and community
involvement reaches locally with useful lip balm samples and donations to the
Saukville American Legion and a local bank to share with participants at an
annual run/walk. On a larger scale, our products, (i.e. – lip balms, hand
sanitizers and sun screen) were included in care packs that are often shared
with the homeless in Milwaukee through the tireless work of Mr. Bob’s “Under
the Bridge” program—which was started back in 2007. In addition, we
continue to support the Milwaukee Rescue Mission, Balance Inc., North Texas
Rehabilitation Services, Ozaukee County National Night Out, Advocates of
Ozaukee County and Celebrate Grafton, Family Sharing of Grafton and Saukville
Community Food Pantry. Yes, a small sampling of giving back,
but, on this #GivingTuesday™, it is our way to make mention on how
WE GIVE and IMPACT our communities.
What will you give?
Have a great #GivingTuesday—EVERYDAY!

Used to be Lincoln logs, now it's LinkdIn blogs
We quietly are celebrating our 5000 visitor to our blog. This milestone as encouraging while disconcerting. Encouraging because we are capturing some eyeballs in this experimental stage of using the medium to deliver a message. Disconcerting in the lack of a focused voice for this blog. We are as spinning top and you never know where you will land.
We started to blog with out a road map but rather an inclination. As big believers in road maps and goals, it was hard to suggest an achievable or believable goal. Maybe by 6000 visitors we can sort it out and develop a plan. In the meantime as we once played with Lincoln logs, we now play with LinkedIn Blogs!

What is 'Made in America" Worth?
What Is 'Made in America' Worth?
Probably more than you think. As more manufacturing returns to
U.S. shores, early signs show that a "Made in America" label is a serious
competitive advantage.
VisionsofAmerica/Joe Sohm/Getty
First, there's that rugged, sturdy (if underappreciated), no-frills, American quality. It's the stuff of Chrysler Automotive's much-praised "Imported from Detroit" ad, and Bruce Springsteen's "Born in the USA." If you buy this two-fisted version of "Made in the USA," you also likely buy American because you're patriotic. You don't care if elites would rather buy a BMW.
The other Made-in-America vision embraces an artisanal, moral, locavore sensibility. Think of Whole Foods, or, in apparel, Brooklyn Industries. In this vision, you buy boutique American goods because they're holier-than-corporate and show off your elevated taste (not to mention your ability to afford such taste).
If one of these images is all that comes to mind, though, recent research and certain branding experts suggest that you're selling "Made in America" short. The label still has far more international cachet than Americans are likely to give it credit for. Even in the United States, buyers have proven that they'll pay considerably more for some kinds of American-made goods--simply because they expect them to be a better value.
International perceptions of "Made in America," are rooted in global perceptions of the country itself--and that news is surprisingly favorable for domestic manufacturers. Simon Anholt is a British branding consultant and creator of the Anholt-GfK Roper Nation Brands Index, which measures a nation's international reputation. In the market-research company's most recent survey, released in late October, the U.S. ranked first--for the fourth year in a row.
"The strengths of America's international standing continue to be innovation, opportunities and vibrancy," Anholt said in a press release. Germany placed second and the U.K. third. China didn't crack the top 10.
None of this would come as a surprise to Drew Greenblatt, president and owner of Baltimore-based Marlin Steel Wire Products, an Inc. 5000 honoree that manufactures only in the United States.
"American manufacturers have a reputation for getting it right the first time," Greenblatt says. "And a lot of clients are comfortable that, if they don't get it right, American companies will bend over backwards to make good on it quickly." Since companies that manufacture in America often can't compete on price, they have to compete on quality, service, or speed--and they have a reputation for doing all they can to defend that brand edge.
Part of the advantage Greenblatt enjoys is technological. Forced to compete with companies that benefit from lower labor costs overseas, American manufacturers have invested heavily in advanced plants. That tends to provides an edge in manufacturing precision and flexibility.
"I can manufacture to tolerances of 10 microns," he says. "My Chinese competitors can't match that."
And domestic customers? While U.S. buyers tend to be less impressed by American quality and innovation, they are willing to cut the "Made in USA" label considerable slack. In a study of consumer perceptions of clothing made in the United States vs. that made in China, Jung Ha-Brookshire, an assistant professor at the University of Missouri, found that when offered a choice between a shirt made in the U.S. with U.S. cotton and one made in China with local materials, American consumers strongly preferred the "Made in USA" label. They also valued the American-made garment nearly twice that of the Chinese one.
American Giant, a San Francisco-based maker of cotton shirts and sweats, trades on that preference. But it's also cautious not to presume too much about consumers' patriotic tendencies.
"We try to bring business savvy and innovation to bear so that we can compete on price and quality with foreign-made apparel," says CEO and founder Bayard Winthrop. "By shouting that you're American-made, you're asking people to make an exception for you and accept lousy quality or higher prices for a 'Made in USA' label. You can't build a scalable business that way.”
Contrary to the thrust of much election-season advertising, America's reputation seems to be improving, not receding. In the Nation Brands Index, the United States was the only nation among the top 10 to improve its standing. A lot of this has to do with the American economy. While the United States has emerged sluggishly from the 2008 financial crisis, its recovery is firmly established, and is now more than three years old. The U.S. faces nothing like the 25% unemployment of Spain or the shrinking GDPs of most European nations. "Success is a major dimension of the American brand," as Allen Adamson, managing director of global-branding outfit Landor Associates, told Businessweek.
At the same time, the labor-cost penalty that American manufacturers have to compensate for continues to shrink. Greenblatt says that his Chinese competitors used to pay workers 28 cents an hour but now pay $2.38, not including the 50% tax for the Chinese version of social security.
The U.S. is still not a cheap place to manufacture, admits Greenblatt, but he is content to compete internationally on U.S. companies' reputations for agility and quality.
"We're not selling to ignorant people," he says. "Our clients have plenty of choice, but they choose us because they are confident we'll deliver what we promised. Regardless of what anyone says, the rest of the world has a lot of faith in American ingenuity."

The Birds and the Bees
I am talking about Emu Oil and Beeswax. I was walking through the warehouse and saw a container of emu oil and a drum of bees wax and thought about the many uses we have for the both. Here is what you should know!
Emu oil
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Emu oil is an oil rendered from the fat of the emu, Dromaius novaehollandiae, a bird indigenous to Australia.[1][2] Emu oil and eucalyptus oil have been used historically in Australian aboriginal traditional medicine for fevers, coughs, minor pain, arthritic joints, bruises, cuts and sores.[3][4]Unadulterated emu oil can vary widely in color and viscosity, but, assuming the emu has enjoyed a natural diet, is generally a yellow liquid.[5] It is composed of approximately 70% unsaturated fatty acids. The largest component is oleic acid, a mono-unsaturated omega-9 fatty acid. Emu oil also contains roughly 20% linoleic acid (an omega-6 fatty acid) and 1-2% linolenic acid (an omega-3 fatty acid).
A handful of animal studies have suggested that emu oil, applied topically, may have anti-inflammatory properties or promote wound healing in various rodent models.[6][7][8] Emu oil is marketed and promoted as a dietary supplement with a wide variety of claimed health benefits.[9]
Beeswax
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For the 2009 film, see Beeswax (film).
Contents |
Production
The wax is formed by worker bees, who secrete it from eight wax-producing mirror glands on the inner sides of the sternites (the ventral shield or plate of each segment of the body) on abdominal segments 4 to 7. The sizes of these wax glands depend on the age of the worker and after daily flights begin these glands gradually atrophy. The new wax scales are initially glass-clear and colorless (see illustration), becoming opaque after mastication by the worker bee. The wax of honeycomb is nearly white, but becomes progressively more yellow or brown by incorporation of pollen oils and propolis. The wax scales are about 3 millimetres (0.12 in) across and 0.1 millimetres (0.0039 in) thick, and about 1100 are required to make a gram of wax.[2]Honey bees use the beeswax to build honeycomb cells in which their young are raised and honey and pollen are stored. For the wax-making bees to secrete wax, the ambient temperature in the hive has to be 33 to 36 °C (91 to 97 °F). To produce their wax, bees must consume about eight times as much honey by mass. It is estimated that bees fly 150,000 miles, roughly six times around the earth, to yield one pound of beeswax (530,000 km/kg).
Processing
When beekeepers extract the honey, they cut off the wax caps from each honeycomb cell with an uncapping knife or machine. Its color varies from nearly white to brownish, but most often a shade of yellow, depending on purity and the type of flowers gathered by the bees. Wax from the brood comb of the honey bee hive tends to be darker than wax from the honeycomb. Impurities accumulate more quickly in the brood comb. Due to the impurities, the wax has to be rendered before further use. The leftovers are called slumgum.The wax may further be clarified by heating in water. As with petroleum waxes, it may be softened by dilution with vegetable oil to make it more workable at room temperature.
Physical characteristics
Beeswax is a tough wax formed from a mixture of several compounds.| Wax Content Type | Percent |
| Hydrocarbons | 14% |
| Monoesters | 35% |
| Diesters | 14% |
| Triesters | 3% |
| Hydroxy monoesters | 4% |
| Hydroxy polyesters | 8% |
| Acid esters | 1% |
| Acid polyesters | 2% |
| Free acids | 12% |
| Free alcohols | 1% |
| Unidentified | 6% |
Beeswax has a high melting point range of 62 to 64 °C (144 to 147 °F). If beeswax is heated above 85 °C (185 °F) discoloration occurs. The flash point of beeswax is 204.4 °C (399.9 °F).[6] Density at 15 °C is 958 to 970 kg/m³.
Natural beeswax (quoting Thorpe 1916 p737)[7]: When cold it is brittle; at ordinary temperatures it is tenacious; its fracture is dry and granular. The sp. gr. at 15° is from 0.958 to 0.975, that of melted wax at 98° - 99° compared with water at 15.5° is 0.822. It softens when held in the hand, and melts at 62° - 66°; it solidifies at 60.5° -63°.
Uses as a product
- Beeswax is mainly used to make honeycomb foundation for reuse by the bees.
- Purified and bleached beeswax is used in the production of food, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals:
- As a coating for cheese, to protect the food as it ages. As a food additive, it is known as E901 (glazing agent).
- As a skin care product, a German study found beeswax to be superior to similar "barrier creams" (usually mineral oil based creams, such as petroleum jelly), when used according to its protocol.[8]
- Beeswax is an ingredient in moustache wax, as well as hair pomades.
- Beeswax is an ingredient in surgical bone wax.
- Candles
- Beeswax was traditionally prescribed as the material (or at least a significant part of the material) for the Paschal candle ("Easter candle") and is recommended for other candles used in the liturgy of the Roman Catholic Church.[9]
- Beeswax is used commercially to make fine candles.
- Although only about 10,000 tons are produced annually, a variety of niche uses exist:[10]
- As a component of shoe polish
- As a component of furniture polish, dissolved in turpentine, sometimes blended with linseed or tung oil
- As a component of modeling waxes.
- When blended with pine rosin, beeswax serves as an adhesive to attach reed plates to the structure inside a squeezebox.
- Used to make lip balm.
- Used to make Cutler's resin.
- Used in Eastern Europe in egg decoration. It is used for writing, via resist dyeing, on batik eggs (as in pysanky) and for making beaded eggs.
- Formerly used in the manufacturing of the cylinders used by the earliest phonographs.
- Used by percussionists to make a surface on tambourines for thumb rolls.
Historical uses
- As a modeling material in the lost-wax casting process, or cire perdue.[12]
- For wax tablets used for a variety of writing purposes.
- In Encaustic paintings such as the Fayum mummy portraits.[13]
- Used in bow making (see English longbow).
- Used to strengthen and preserve sewing thread.
- As a component of sealing wax
- To form the mouthpieces of a didgeridoo, and the frets on the Philippine kutiyapi - a type of boat lute.
- As a sealant or lubricant for bullets in cap and ball and firearms
- To stabilize the military explosive Torpex - before being replaced by a petroleum-based product.
- In producing Javanese batik.[14]
- Used to coat hemp strands in the making of Hemp Wick; an alternative use to Lighters.
Slang
In the phrase "mind your own bee's wax," meaning "mind your own business". Possibly derived from the Irish Gaelic béasmhaireacht, pronounced beeswəraċt, meaning "morality, manners, habits." [15] Similar to the phrase Bees Knees.The Pied Piper

Not for the lips but for another use.....
I shot this little bit of video to send to the client showing them that their product was at the end of the line in production and would be shipping out that day. There is something mesmerizing in watching the continuous flow of product as it goes through the labeling equipment at a remarkable rate. All products are lot coded and quality control needs to come by and sample it for product meeting specs on the batch, the fill and even the labeling to make sure we are all spinning in the right direction.
Just so we don't spin out of control!
