Extensively produced by hand in ancient cultures in India, China, Egypt, the Middle East and even in South America, embroidered patches or cloth badges are a very old tradition. However, after the industrial revolution, and especially in the current world of mass production, embroidered patches are machine made in bulk and put to countless uses. They can be affixed to clothes, bags, shoes, upholstery and so on in a myriad of creative ways. Embroidered patches can be affixed with safety pins and button loops can be sewn on, can be ironed on, and can be attached with hook-and-loop fasteners. Boy and Girl Scouts, the Military and Police, emergency hospital services, sports teams, and bikers are just a few examples of those commonly using embroidered patches. There are usually standard patches made for different ranks or grades, but customizing patches are now in vogue. To be able to modify or create embroidered patches according to the individual or personal specifications or preference is preferred. Embroidered patches in specific width and height with different ways to fix them on its reverse side can be easily ordered in many online stores. Moreover, the number of patches required, when they must be delivered, their cost and mode of delivery, everything can be scheduled online in specific company designed websites. Most custom embroidered patch suppliers follow the regular delivery of custom embroidered patches in less than two weeks time, while rush orders are done in less than a week’s time. Low minimum quantity orders, exceptionally high quantity orders that run into tens of thousands of patches, innovative design and fastening options are the rule of the day. For some companies like The Studio, the Stadri Emblems, Quality Patches, Patches for Less, and Beauty Emblem that offer customizable embroidered patches, every order is a challenge and a motivation to do better than their earlier ones; furthermore, every one of their clients’ orders are given special attention in order to retain their customer base in this fast-growing manufacturing sector. This has led to the creation of advanced production techniques and special custom embroidered patches with rhinestones, frayed edges, puff patches, vintage styles, glow-in-the-dark and even fire-retardant patches.

In the past couple of years, there have been thousands of fatal workplace injuries. Hence, it is vital to take the necessary steps to improve workplace safety, and policy signboards are an ideal way to do so. These boards assure higher efficiency and better visual communication all throughout the facility. However, how can you make the most of the installed policy signboards? Let us find out.  Examine potential hazards First, you need to assess the possible hazards in the area where your workplace is situated. This includes the industrial and office areas and the location outside the central facility. Now, beyond the apparent hazards, you also need to identify unexpected risks, which may not be that obvious. Checking your establishment’s past injury records and gauging how physical tasks are carried out on a daily basis are two of the many ways to do so. Opt for color coding and safety words Color codes are an inseparable component of compliant policy signboards. It is because both the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) have designated specific colors for every kind of hazard. OSHA primarily needs three kinds of safety words—danger, warning, and caution. The OSHA-compliant danger policy sign should have the word “danger” written in black font with a red background. Similarly, if it is a caution policy signboard, then it must have the word “caution” written in black letters with a yellow background. It is important to note that safety instruction signs may not come with pre-designed signal words. Be careful with the placement and positioning  Policy signboards need to be carefully positioned to ensure that they are legible even from a distance. Further, the placement should be such that it immediately attracts the attention of the intended person and makes them aware of any existing hazard. Hence, it is important to put proper thought into deciding the placement location of signboards around your facility. If needed, you may even have to reposition signs over time—especially when you make modifications or changes to them—in order to increase their usefulness and visibility.

Sciatica nerves can be intolerably painful at times, and it is so debilitating that you won't even have the energy left for getting up from the couch. There are various causes which contribute to the sciatica pain including ruptured disk, injury, and narrowing of the spinal canal. The best way to get sciatica pain relief is by stretching the body and rotating the hip region externally. Here are some other moves, which you can practice to get rid of sciatica pain. Reclining Pigeon pose This common Yoga pose works to open the hip region, and there are numerous versions of this stretch. The first position is called the reclining pigeon pose, which is very easy to perform and is immensely effective. Lie flat on your back and bring the right leg to the right ankle and clasp your hands together from behind to lock with your fingers. Now place the right ankle after lifting the left leg on top of the knee. You will have to hold the pose for some time as it would stretch the tiny muscles, which become inflamed and eventually press against the sciatic nerve, causing excruciating pain. Sitting Pigeon pose This pose is yet another easy-to-perform exercise where you will have to sit with the legs stretched out before you. Bend the right leg after putting the right ankle over the left knee. Lean forward so that the upper part of the body reaches toward the thigh. Hold the position for about 30 seconds as it would stretch your glutes along with the lower back. Forward Pigeon pose Kneel on the floors with your arms and legs and then pick up the right leg for stretching forward. The lower part of the leg should be on the ground in a horizontal position with the body. Make sure that your right knee points in the right direction and the right foot is placed in front of the right knee. Now gradually shift the weight from the arms to the legs so that your body rests upon your legs. Sit up with your backbone straight and the hands placed on either side of the legs. Take a deep breath and exhale while leaning the body over the front leg. Try to support your body with the arms as much as possible. Repeat the same on the other side as well. There are many other stretching poses, which can help in calming the sciatic nerve when practiced regularly and providing sciatica pain relief. These include knee to opposite shoulder, sitting spinal stretch, and standing hamstring stretch. However,before you try anything, it would be best to consult with an expert to determine whether you have any individual complications, which can make the pose unsuitable for you.
