Most people protect themselves from outdoor pollutants like dust and smoke, but few realize that their home’s indoor air too can be equally harmful. Do you know that the pollutant level indoors can be two to five times higher than with outdoor air? Yes, in some situations the levels even go higher than 100 times.

Since most of us spend most of our lives indoors, it is, therefore, essential to ensure we have clean air quality. Journey with me in the article as we take a look at some trusty tips you can use to improve the air quality in your home.

DIY tips on how to improve indoor air quality

1. Keep the air vents and grills clean

Most of your indoor air will circulate through the air vents and grills. Therefore, it is important to keep them clean and free of obstruction always. If blocked, the air in your house doesn’t get to circulate, leaving it stagnant and full of pollutants due to poor ventilation.

Also, open your windows as much as possible. This will boost the air circulation in your house, leaving your indoor fresh.

2. Avoid smoking indoors

Literally, a cigarette can house thousands of harmful chemicals. Some being carcinogenic. Therefore it’s best that you should not let anyone smoke indoors. By this, you will prevent your family from second-hand smoke which causes lower respiratory tract infection asthma and even pneumonia.

3. Grow some air purifying house plants

Green or not these plants can help you a lot in purifying your air. The good thing with the indoor plants is, they are easy to grow and require low maintenance. They are just as fun as having an outdoor garden.  With the plants, you will not be purifying your air only, but will also improve your air humidity.

4. Get an air conditioner

Most pollutants are water soluble. To effectively get rid of them from your indoor air you will have to deal with the excess humidity in your indoor air. Using your air conditioner will help you remove excess moisture in the air and thus improving the air quality. Also, an air conditioner can trap mold allergens and other pollutants present in your indoor air.

5. Maintain clean floors

This must be the most daunting task in this list. Even with the above tips, a dirty floor will still ruin your air quality. Therefore, make sure you clean, sweep and vacuum your floor regularly. You can also maintain a clean floor by keeping your mats outside for a few hours at least once in a week. This will minimize the number of pollutants coming from your carpet by a large percentage.

Toxins and pollutants in your indoor air are your primary sources of exposure to pollution. The good news is that you can easily control the contaminants in your home. Making use of the above tips is a good step towards ensuring your family’s health is at its best.

The season of holidays is over, but why wait for next Xmas to throw some of the best office parties of the year?

Perhaps it’s your company’s birthday and you want to celebrate it in the best possible way. On the other hand, it could be your birthday so you want to celebrate it with your colleagues that you love so much. Be that as it may, organizing and throwing an office party takes some work, but nothing’s impossible.

So, what are the most important things that you need to pay attention to if you want to have a killer office party? Make sure you have a checklist and go step by step. In order to help you out, we have a list of some of the key tasks for you:

The date and the venue

The first thing that you need to bear in mind is that you have to set a good date so that everyone can come to your party in a good mood, and stay until the very end.

Organizing an office party during the weekend is a bad idea (as nobody wants to come to the office if it’s not a workday), so the best possible solution would be to set it on a Friday. Another thing that you should also think about is the venue – unless the venue is your office, make sure to choose one in advance.

There are plenty of choices out there, and some might cost more, some less, but choose one that you like and that you can visualize your party at. Another reason why this is a good idea is that the workspace reminds many of us of the work not done and all the pending projects, so it would be good to find a restaurant or a small pub where you will host your big event. The interior of the pub, restaurant or club doesn’t really matter, so you don’t have to go with fancy and expensive clubs.

The wining and dining

Regardless of the venue and the date, you have to carefully plan and prepare the wining and dining list. All of your colleagues will be drinking, so making sure you have plenty of drinks is the right thing to do. You can always opt for a drink menu or plan to serve certain cocktails – this is a great option as it’s always interesting.

On the other hand, even though it’s seemingly unimportant, you really need to think about the food. Yes, people won’t be coming to your party in order to eat, but there are those who simply don’t drink alcohol so they have certain expectations from your buffet.

Since it would take you a lot of time to prepare the food yourself, you can turn to a company and use their great catering services – they will do the job for you. The best possible option is to go for finger food so that everyone could grab a bite of different kinds of food.

Having a good buffet is also excellent if someone overdrinks, as you don’t want any drunken incidents at your office party!

The activities and music

Once you have everything settled, it would be a good idea to think about your party activities. It could be mingling and dancing party, of course, but perhaps it would be quite interesting to incorporate certain drinking games at the beginning of the night. Finally, think about the music you will be listening to.

You can always stick to a good DJ, but if this exceeds your budget, you can always find a killer playlist and play it on shuffle on a laptop or computer. Unless it’s a themed party (such as the 70s, 80s or 90s), make sure to have all the best hits of the moment.

You want to recharge your batteries and drink and dance the night away, so this is the right way to make this happen.

Even though it’s connected to work, throwing an office party can be a lot of fun. Make sure to invite everyone, and plan everything in detail. You don’t have to break the bank in order to make this happen – you will save a lot of money on décor that you don’t actually need (save this for the Xmas party), but who knows? Perhaps you’ll get a promotion!

Sylvester Stallone is ready to relive his iconic character, John Rambo, as he is working hard work on the fifth instalment of the franchise, Rambo 5: Last Blood. He recently shared looks from the set with fans via his Instagram account, as the shooting of the movie began.

In the released pictures, Rambo is working on a ranch, and comes back into action when the daughter of a friend is kidnapped by ‘one of Mexico’s most violent cartels.’ Actress Paz Vega joins the series as the main star alongside Rambo, and her character will be of the half-sister who is kidnapped.

After debuting Rambo’s new cowboy look for the film, including one of him riding a horse and looking badass, Stallone shared a new photo of his character, this time surrounded by some guns in what he calls Rambo’s “man cave.”

Here’s a look at the photos:

Well, there is no doubt in our mind that just like the previous movies in the series, this one will be an ass-kicker too. However, if you have any specific moments that you still remember from the series, then do share with us in the comment box below.

The sky was grey. The wind was cold. And there was this silence- which it seemed- was about to scream!

I walked about 50 steps to enter the racing arena and guess what; the silence did scream!

Underneath the grey sky, rubbing the shoulders with the cold wind were three Mercedes Benz C Class, fitted with JK Tyre, trying to achieve one common goal- a run of 24-hour; non-stop.

Welcome to ‘Buddh International Circuit‘, but no, this is not a race day. It is a day when JK Tyre is finishing a 24-hour run to prove to the world that even the commercially available tyres can take the heat of a production luxury car on tracks where engines roar at their loudest and the wear-and-tear is at its cruellest.

As I waited for the cars to finish what they were supposed to, I got a chance, thanks to JK Tyre, to see and experience – the game that is played behind the scene to keep things running on the track. And this took me not only to the pit-area, but also to the communication centre that has all corners of the track covered, to see every tiny detail that’s happening on those steep laps.

Remember those spy movies, read Tom Cruise and Daniel Craig, where they have this giant screen with multiple frames that help the authorities to see it all? Well, this experience was exactly that- if not more.

I was awe-struck to see the kind of detailing that goes in organizing an event like this and the expertise that is required to execute it all. What impressed me the most though was the enthusiasm of JK Tyre’ team and their leadership people who had all the patience in the world to answer every question that was directed at them.

As we the tour of the other corners continued, we were informed that Abhay, is all set to bring down the curtains with the final lap. So, we quickly marched towards the finishing line to see the creation of a new national record.

2200km clocked in 24 hours at a Formula 1 track. 

I also came to know that, half of the driving team consisted of pro-racers who shared their experience later on and the strategies they opted for, while on the run. You can only come out with more knowledge from these sessions, and this case as no different.

As the champagne sprinkled and the cake was cut, I started walking back towards my car, looking at the sky still grey, wind still cool, but this time, there was no silence, there was elation of the JK Tyre team and then there was this proud record that it is now a part of.

My only thought?

Well done JK team!

Each day that passes it is more frequent to find people doing online shopping as it is more comfortable but most of it because it is more convenient.

You can find everything you are looking for  almost on the same website, if not, you just Cmd + T for Mac or Ctrl + T for Windows and you will have another tab opened to go to the site that has what you are looking for, which in online shopping vocabulary roughly translates into walking into a new store.

It happens more often now that people even do grocery shopping from home. I mean, they already know the products. They spare the drag of carrying heavy bags, and if it is true that it costs a little more, take into account that you are not paying to park nor using gasoline and more importantly, you can do it quicker, avoid the lines and do something else while waiting for the shopping to come home.

Now, not everything is buying groceries in the online shopping world but I think it is a good example for you to understand how important this is in present days.

One of the most entertaining things to shop for us, men (yes, here is where I segment us) is technology and clothes. But sometimes we don’t feel like going to a store just to buy clothes, at least it happens to me and my circle of friends that when we finally go to the mall it is because there are more activities involved than just getting a couple of new pants.

Consider the luxury brands online store LuisaViaRoma that has one of the largest selection of designer clothing online, its website receives more than 4 million visits per month and it has accomplished success in a very competitive luxury clothing environment.

They deliver to 125 different places in the world and its selection is one of the best and trendiest.

However, and going back to our topic, this is not something that you have to worry about when you get your goods from the net. If you need a shirt, you just go to your favorite online shop and pick whatever they have in stock that you like.

And if you don’t have a favorite store already, we do have a suggestion for you.

Adidas Football reveals the Official Match Ball for the knockout stage of the 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia™. The Telstar Mechta comes with a new vivid red design inspired by the colours of the host nation, as well as the rising heat of knockout stage football.

The name Mechta translates as ‘dream’ or ‘ambition’ in Russian and is constructed with the same design elements as the Telstar 18, the ball used throughout the group stage, but adapted to reflect the added intensity and opportunity the knockout stage brings.

The ball has a brand-new carcass that retains the best of the Brazuca, the Official Match Ball of the 2014 FIFA World Cup™, while building in new technology to maximise performance. It went through extensive testing to ensure it suits the needs of the best players in the world. Some of the leading national and club sides have been involved in the testing process.

A progression from Official Match Balls of the past, a brand-new panel design features a metallic print execution and texture graphics effect, engineered to provide performance and durability both in the stadium and on the street. Sustainability has been a key focus of the Telstar 18 and Telstar Mechta, with elements including re-cycled backing material and packaging.

The Telstar 18 and Telstar Mechta feature an embedded NFC chip – the first time it is ever been used in an Official Match Ball – making it the most innovative FIFA World Cup™ ball to date. The chip enables consumers to interact with the ball using a smartphone. Upon interaction, each ball generates a unique identifier, unlocking exclusive content and information for the user.  The personalised and location-aware experience displays specific details of each ball and provides access to challenges, which users can enter in the run-up to the FIFA World Cup™.

Virat Kohli is on a roll! Not only did he make sure that India retained its number 1 ranking last calendar year, he has also made sure that this Indian team remained a tough nut at home throughout. And off the cricket field, Virat Kohli was recently ranked 83rd in Forbes World’s Highest-Paid Athletes.  Wedding luck?

Once dubbed as a not-so-serious chubby guy, Virat has made significant changes in his life to reach this level and there is no denying that his fitness level has a big role to play in it. Such has been his transformation in the last three years that people are now asking; how to get a body like Virat Kohli!

Talk about Virat Kohli’s latest hairstyle or his beard, talk about his love affair and eventually tying the knot with Anushka Sharma or his big million dollar ads – every day, people want to know more and more about Virat Kohli. While many might dub Virat Kohli’s Golden Run In IPL 2016 as a big breakthrough in his career, I personally think – it was just a matter of time that this boy became the man that the Indian team needed to guide it.

While his heroics have been great off the field, he looks every bit smashing when working for the fashion cameras. To show you the same, here is a list of top 10 fashion images of Virat Kohli.

Well, that was cricket, however, if you are a soccer fan and want to look your best during the upcoming FIFA WORLD CUP 2018, here’s a full infographic that will solve all your queries.

You’ve probably stumbled upon millions of memes and photos that depict a sleepy person with a mug of coffee saying that their day doesn’t start until they’ve had a cup of coffee. And that’s globally true – many of us just cannot start our day without the drink we love so much.

Coffee plays a big role in our lives, and we live in a time where coffee is gaining popularity at a very fast pace.

If you’re a coffee addict, then these five facts will be quite interesting to you.

1. Not all brands are the same

First of all, we need to set some facts straight – dark roasts are lighter on caffeine, contrary to popular belief that the darker the coffee is, the higher the amount of caffeine. The roasting process burns the caffeine, thus leaving a smaller percentage of it in the actual bean. That is why not all brands produce coffee of the same strength, regardless of the way it’s made.

For example, Starbucks has a plethora of options to choose from, and most of them are made with milk or whipped cream, but their coffee has twice the amount of caffeine that, for instance, a cup from McDonald’s or Dunkin’ Donuts has. Speaking of brands, this is an excellent opportunity to talk about our next fact…

2. You can always start your own coffee brand

You might be an accountant or a teacher, but having a small coffee shop is a side job that many opt for. It’s quite interesting and satisfying – to own a small shop and serve the best coffee in town or the area of your city. If this is your secret calling, you should definitely pursue it – and most importantly, it’s not impossible.

There are excellent coffee suppliers in Melbourne, London, Berlin, and all the big cities all around the globe, so choosing one to buy prepackaged and quality coffee from is not an impossible endeavor. Many young people choose to open such shops, first of all, due to the popular demand for a good cup of coffee and secondly, because it’s so much fun to be an owner of a small coffee shop that you can call your own.

3. It’s more popular than sex

The popular magazine Marie Claire conducted a research in 2013, the results of which revealed that the majority of Americans (about 53%) would rather choose a cup of coffee over morning sex.

When you think about it, this fact does make sense – many of us don’t actually feel like doing anything (not even sex) without our first cup of coffee to get us prepared for the day and give us that boost of energy that we need once we open our eyes in the morning.

However, some results were even shocking: around 80% of the survey participants stated that they would choose a cup of coffee over alcohol, social media and even sex in general.

So, coffee beats sex in any scenario! Aussies are also very good at making and drinking the black liquid gold.

4. It actually does give you a lot of energy

Even though the popular opinion is that coffee makes you dehydrated, this is far from the truth. According to a study conducted by the University of Birmingham, coffee can hydrate you as much as water, especially if you’re a regular coffee drinker.

Also, many opt for energy drinks to get a daily boost, even though a cup of coffee can have more caffeine than a single energy drink – which makes it more efficient and also healthier as it doesn’t have any sugars or artificial ingredients.

5. It makes you smarter

Yes, you read that right.

Dopamine is a neurotransmitter that stimulates our brain activity, thus making us more concentrated and focused. Even though there are many prescription drugs that increase the amount of dopamine in our brain, there are simpler ways to enhance our long-term memory, such as a hefty dose of caffeine. But not only that, coffee is something like the Philosopher’s stone. Well, not exactly, but it can help us live longer.

This has been confirmed by science on multiple occasions, so if you want to live longer, you know what to do. (Perhaps Keanu Reeves’s secret is coffee, as he doesn’t grow old.)

Many people will tell you that coffee’s bad, coffee’s this, coffee’s that, but one thing is for sure – we love it, and there are positive things about it.

Our job is to continue to do so and not let it down. All hail coffee!

Losing a job is not easy for anyone, whether it happens out of the blue or you anticipated something like that could happen. It is normal to feel shaken by such a situation, even if you are not the type of person who strongly identifies with their job.

But don’t spend too much time stressing about it. Losing a job is something that can happen to most of us at least once in our lifetime.

The initial distress might last for a little while, but make sure to take an active stance and take the initiative about your further career.

Here are some activities you can take on while searching for a new job.

Polish Your Resume

When was the last time you updated your resume? Probably before you landed your previous job. Dig it up from your computer and go through all the items. Create a list of skills you’ve learned since then and update your resume. Check out the job description from your previous job and add those responsibilities, too.

It is easy to forget some of your accomplishments, so make sure to specify all of them.

This is the first step you will take on your quest for a new job. Be truthful, so don’t exaggerate and don’t underestimate your abilities.

A neat and accurate resume is the foundation for your further success. Your new potential employers will form their impression about you based on it, so make sure it describes you in the best light possible.

Learn new skills

You will experience a huge increase in free time, so make sure to fill it with constructive activities. After you’ve listed all of your skills and accomplishments in your resume, make a list of skills you want to learn in the near future. You will have much more time to learn new skills than you had while you were employed.

Explore job offers for jobs you would like to apply for. What are they looking for? Do you possess all of the skills they are looking for? Or do they expect proficiency in some skills you don’t possess? Search for those courses online or in your hometown. You can find a lot of free courses or courses with huge discounts online.

Find a job online

The internet provides a lot of opportunities for the unemployed. Aside from various courses you might enroll in, you can find a job as a freelancer. Look for a part-time job that will make you busy and help you earn a few quid during this period. There are many part-time jobs you can take, like a virtual assistant, market researcher or data entry clerk.

Another job you might consider is filling paid surveys online. It can perfectly fit into your daily schedule, and you will feel good because you are earning some money. You can do it from the comfort of your home, while listening to a perfect playlist, watching TV or making lunch. If you have a family, this is a good way to combine your family duties with your earning.

Treat yourself well

Regardless of your efforts to improve your skills and find a job, you will most probably experience a contemporary emotional distress that appears during the period of unemployment.

The unemployed are exposed to a larger risk of emotional and physical health problems. To prevent these, you should engage in activities you love, socialize with the people you love, and enjoy your hobbies.

Physical activity has a huge positive impact on mental health. Don’t hesitate to join the local fitness center, meet new people and learn new exercises.

If you prefer solitude over a huge number of people, there are some activities you might want to engage in, like running, yoga or meditation. Their influence on inner balance and productivity is well-known, so try some of them out.

Emotional distress is a normal human reaction to a job loss. Don’t be hard on yourself and try to focus on the positive aspects of this situation.

Give yourself some time to recuperate, and then take your destiny into your own hands.

Create a plan of your further actions: embellish your resume, learn new skills, find a freelance job, engage in physical activity, spend time with your friends and family, and be kind to yourself.
