KNOxOUT has specialized air cleaning titanium dioxide (TiO2) which uses light energy to transform water vapor into free radicals that break down NOx and VOC molecules into harmless substances.<br /></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">• Painting a surface with KNOxOUT effectively transforms it to an air purifying device that continuously cleans the air in the presence of light and humidity. <br /><br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;">Dangerous Skies? </span><br /><br />• According to the Philippine Environment Monitor, a joint report of the World Bank and Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), there are close to 5,000 premature deaths per year in Metro Manila due to diseases from exposure to polluted air. This accounts for 12% of all deaths in the metropolis, the highest in any urban area in the country.<br />• 98% of residents in Manila are affected by air pollution and 50% want to move to a less polluted place.<br />• 71% of Filipinos believe that air quality has worsened over the past year.<br />• According to the World Health Organization, 3 million people die each year from the effects of air pollution, three times more than the 1 million who die each year in automobile accidents.<br />• A study by the European Commission calculated that air pollution is responsible for 310,000 premature deaths per year and reduces life expectancy by an average of almost nine months across the European Union.<br />• According to the same study, every European on average takes half a day off a year due to illnesses linked to air pollution - costing the economy more than 80 billion euros.<br />• In the United States, about 4 percent of deaths can be attributed to air pollution, equaling deaths from breast cancer and prostate cancer combined. <br />• A study in Europe by APHEIS (Air Pollution and Health: A European Information System) found that even very small cuts in pollution can benefit health.<br />The effects of air pollution on children are even worse:<br />• Children spend more time outdoors and are more active outdoors than adults. For their body size, children breathe faster and inhale several times more air – polluted air - than adults.<br />• Studies in California found that children living near freeways were more likely to have reduced lung function and develop asthma and bronchitis symptoms.<br />• A study in New York found that mothers who were exposed to higher levels of air pollution during pregnancy had children with lower IQs.<br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8718849449049693218-2376172543367899798?l=www.handytipsandhints.com' alt='' /></div>

Here is one handy tip for travelers. Whether you are on a local or international tip, one thing to seriously invest in is a <a href="http://www.thesource.ca/estore/category.aspx?language=en-ca&amp;catalog=online&amp;category=GPS_Handheld&amp;pagenum=1&amp;sort=1">handheld gps</a>. A certified traveler will surely find this useful especially if you are in a place not regular to your daily itinerary. It has become like a necessity and has practically replaced the function of the map.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8718849449049693218-7383802756702424119?l=www.handytipsandhints.com' alt='' /></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">After having heard about Boysen teaming up with Cristal Global via KnoXOut, to be part of the solution to taking care of air pollution, I cannot be more interested. The truth of the matter is, we all could make use of such products. But the question is the cost. Since the technology is new, I have doubts that it is going to be affordable. Here’s hoping that the government can look into this and can actually make a way that it will be sort of a must for commercial buildings like that of <a href="http://bookit.com/mexico/cancun/">cancun hotels</a>, even residences to use. Imagine all the pollution causing Nitrogen Oxide elements that will be erased non-stop if we start to use these kinds of paints.<br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">If you haven’t yet heard, the Manila trial was already done around the Guadalupe MRT station (6,200 sqm.) and has been tested by a Swedish environmental project management company and the Manila Observatory, the Philippines’ oldest scientific research institute and a leading authority on air quality studies in the country, that the painting on the wall that was done is significantly cleaning the air around its area. This is the world’s largest air cleaning trial to date. Imagine its impact if we do this all over our country.  <br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8718849449049693218-9109297823237179249?l=www.handytipsandhints.com' alt='' /></div>

Do you know what to do first before doing your quick fix of pricking it to unbelievable tomato red?<br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">First to do is to identify the kind of eruption it has progressed to. Know that there are pimples that aren’t just on the surface. Some are cystic ones and these are best taken cared of by the dermatologists. History. This is important to note if you have a history of getting acne or some kind of pimples you’ve had in the past. <br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">Whatever you do, make sure not to irritate the pimple by keeping your hands clean.

<div style="text-align: justify;">If you have not visited yet, I’m inviting you to come swing by my beauty blog, KikayCorner.net. This beauty blog is an online magazine that showcases honest to goodness beauty product reviews, make up and fashion tips. Just about everything kikay, girly and sassy. <br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">I must admit though, that reviewing not so good products isn’t all that easy. I have at least a couple of supposedly <a href="http://www.wrinkletreatment.org/">best wrinkle treatments</a> that did not particularly work best on my skin.

<div style="text-align: justify;">Our family has learned a thing or two about appliances that submerged during the typhoon ondoy (Ketsana). We first thought our washer was off to its wake when the buttons went blinking the first time we plugged it to the outlet. The fridge did great. Not even a hint of being submerged in flood waters.<br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">After being struck by typhoon ondoy (Ketsana), one of the many things we had to take care of is <a href="http://www.appliancepartspros.com/">appliance repair</a>. This is why it is of extreme importance to be able to keep the manuals of your appliances. Although most of the appliances that submerged underwater did get back to working all right after a couple of weeks, machines should still be checked to make sure no corrosion has taken place. This will ensure you more good years with your appliances.<br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">For <a href="http://www.appliancepartspros.com/GE-Parts.aspx">GE parts</a>, check out Appliance Parts Pro for quality and original pieces. Washer and <a href="http://www.appliancepartspros.com/">dryer parts</a> were two of our major concerns. We all know how washers have become essential to our homes. Getting clothes serviced by a laundry shop will take a lot from the family budget. This is why having your very own reliable appliance still weighs more than an outside service. <br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8718849449049693218-6347145322754560577?l=www.handytipsandhints.com' alt='' /></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">Although most supermarket nowadays already <a href="http://www.posguys.com/">POS systems</a>, there is still a few that I know that don't. While this surely lessens the risk of getting charged more than you should pay for, some such supermarket actually offer goods that are more than a peso cheaper for each product (some even ten), that they have. When you sum it all up, you are on advantage. The supermarket I speak of is Hi-Top along Aurora Blvd. For bulk purchases this is hands down, the place for us to go. Otherwise we just go to any random grocery store, because they almost always have the same price anyway.<br /></div><div><br /></div><div>But won't it be neat if there will be a supermarket that uses POS and offer cheaper prices as well?  This, I have yet to discover.  Maybe you have found one, dear readers and I will so appreciate if someone could recommend one.</div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8718849449049693218-2594803630253062018?l=www.handytipsandhints.com' alt='' /></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">SM Megamall has grown so much more with the addition of the Mega Atrium, an exciting new lifestyle area in the Ortigas Center.<br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">This niche mall within the iconic SM Megamall is located over Julia Vargas Avenue, and fully bridges the gap between Mega A and B. It has 16,000 square meters and has four levels.<br /></div><div><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_EU2F4vnWGhE/SuJQC6h8TTI/AAAAAAAAB3M/LnoNlRRYBPQ/s1600-h/Photo 6.jpg"><img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_EU2F4vnWGhE/SuJQC6h8TTI/AAAAAAAAB3M/LnoNlRRYBPQ/s400/Photo 6.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5395963314544856370" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 266px; " /></a><div style="text-align: justify;">With Megamall being a linear development that spans more than half a kilometer, the Mega Atrium is envisioned to be a center of respite and relaxation. Its strategic central location provides a convenient stop for mall visitors to relax and literally catch their breath while enjoying shopping at its upmarket stores and dining at specialty restaurants.<br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">Upscale retail shops and restaurants are planned around a circular atrium with an area of 452 square meters. Access to the center is to offer an air of drama and surprise. Off the existing bridgeway, the visitor approaches the center through a low ceiling hallway that widens towards a cyclindrical skylight.<br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">Dynamic non-concentric circles on the floor are achieved with the application of yellow tiles of varied hues. An equally dynamic skylight design matches the non-concentric circles on the floor. The curved patterns ripple out beyond the atrium area on both floors and ceiling to great consistency and harmony to the general look of the center.<br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">The fifth level of the Mega Atrium is the new site of the 1, 700 square meter Chapel of the Eucharistic Lord. Designed by Architect Gervacio “Joey” Amistoso, the grand chapel has a modern architectural concept with the Eucharist as the focal point in the retablo or altar with the crucified Christ in the middle. The retablo is neo-classical design, which contrasts with the modern theme of the rest of the chapel.<br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">The color scheme of the area is earth inspired using neutrals like beige and brown. Finishes are similar to those of stones used during the Romans times, which gives the chapel a structurally sound impression, but in a soft and warm approach. Wood in its natural oil finish is the most common material, which is used in the chapel. The Chapel of the Eucharistic Lord also has a separate Adoration Chapel and Children’s Room.<br /></div><br /><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">The Mega Atrium is an exciting addition to the 330,000 square meter SM Megamall, one of the world’s largest malls. Megamall, which opened in 1991, is said of have spearheaded what is termed in malling phenomenon with its size, world class designs, and new concepts including the Artwalk and Art Center and Megatrade Hall. The Atrium adds an upscale vibe to the mall.<br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">The Mega Atrium design team includes Arquitectonica, Mall Designer; W.V. Coscolluela and Associates, Architects; Monolith Construction and Development Corp., General Contractor; and DA Abcede and Associates , Project Manager.<br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8718849449049693218-7143823812683111906?l=www.handytipsandhints.com' alt='' /></div>

This should be the first thing to remember when considering taking care of a pet. Some believe that having a pet helps children learn about responsibility. But there is actually more to it than that.<br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">First to do is consider is factor in the kind of commitment a pet requires with the kind of lifestyle that you have. Dogs need more attention than you think. Will you be available to walk it on a regular basis. Weigh the odds between owning pet cat or dog against a caged animal, which is, more often requires less time to take care of. <br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">How about your home environment?

<div style="text-align: justify;">As someone who has once coordinated weddings for a living, I know I ought to share some tips about preparing for weddings. There are probably two months that couples get married in -- June and December. And if you are to be wed June of next tear, you should, by now, be on your way to finalizing your suppliers and program. <br /></div><div><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_EU2F4vnWGhE/St7YWefCy9I/AAAAAAAAB28/gHFCxM3GmDg/s1600-h/wedding invitations.jpg"><img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_EU2F4vnWGhE/St7YWefCy9I/AAAAAAAAB28/gHFCxM3GmDg/s320/wedding invitations.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5394987284288424914" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 245px; height: 207px; " /></a><div style="text-align: justify;">The first things the couple should decide on is the number of people to invite for to their wedding. More often than not, most guest lists balloon as the wedding comes near, so save a certain number for allowance. The next to determine is the people who will be included in the entourage. Principal sponsors should be given a heads up before you get that wedding invitation printed. Secondary sponsors should also be advised of their roles. A bride’s maid of honor and bridesmaids should be available for anything from the preparation, the shower and the wedding itself. <br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">If you happen to be a <a href="http://www.brideandgroomdirect.co.uk/">bride on a budget</a>, it does not have to stop you for getting grand. The key really is to be able to make a list of suppliers and work from there. It would also help if you get personal recommendations from friends. If they were satisfied with the service, then you lower the risk of having any boo boo’s come your wedding day. <a href="http://www.brideandgroomdirect.co.uk/">Cheap wedding invitations</a> are also a concern.
