Home is where the heart is. And for animal lovers like myself, a big part of that heart is reserved for the excited furry being running around and making our days better. If you are faced with the prospect of relocating your home, it’s only natural that you’d want to take your sweetheart with you, and maybe your partner as well if he/she promises to behave

Scandinavian interiors are recognizable by their crisp, white walls, spacious and clean floors and the overall simplicity that pervades throughout the space. A room decorated this way presents the perfect, clutter-free backdrop for some particular artworks to shine. If you think this clashes with the style’s love of minimalism, you are very mistaken. If there’s one interior decorating style that’s not complete without art, it’s Scandinavian

We’ve all seen the old western movies during the gold rush era, where many people are on a life-long mission of finding a gold mine. Many sunk entire fortunes and their lives prospecting with a pan in a river. However, in modern times, mining for gold (and any other mineral, precious metal and fossil) is much more intensive, yet sophisticated. The most important step of finding anything of value under the earth is prospecting. Prospecting is the first step of geologically analyzing a territory. It’s a small-scale version of mineral exploration undertaken by many mineral companies in the search of finding commercially viable ore deposits. It’s a very physical process, involving a lot of specialized equipment, traveling, panning, sifting and investigating

Visible light is the only part of the electromagnetic spectrum that we can see, yet it takes up a relatively small area when compared to infrared radiation. While we cannot see IR (infrared radiation) with only the naked eye, there is specialized equipment that can let us do just that. All object absorb, reflect and sometimes transmit thermal energy (heat) at different levels. Thermal cameras are devices that can translate the heat signatures into visible light in order to create a visual representation of an area or object. In basic terms, these cameras can create infrared pictures of whatever is being viewed through them, and this is actually a very useful tool to have in quite a few fields

Even though the use of torches has been significantly reduced due to the fact that today almost every phone features a flashlight, when it comes to tasks that need serious illumination, torches are still irreplaceable. Whether it’s for outdoor activities, such as camping and hiking, or repairing your car in the middle of the night, it can be an essential tool in both hazardous and everyday scenarios. If you don’t own a torchlight, you should highly consider getting one, as it is an inexpensive investment that can prove to be invaluable in many cases. When it comes to buying a flashlight torch, the different types of materials, the weight, lighting output, the bulb type, battery type and lighting modes can make it difficult to find [&hellip

Even though modern workplaces are much safer than they used to be in the past, they’re still fraught with hazards. Loading docks, busy warehouses, forklifts, energised equipment and many other hazards can make it quite difficult for staff to move and work safely through the facility. That being said, marking the floor is an essential component of a safe, hazard-free facility. The stripes, dots and lines lining facility floors throughout Australia help create order, mitigate hazards and keep employees away from danger. Marking the floor with warning tape usually consists of symbols and lines. OSHA requires warning tape on the floor to be at least 5 centimetres wide to ensure visibility. When it comes to colours, however, there aren’t any specific requirements, but there are [&hellip

We’ve all felt that itch to change something in our homes in order to make it look fresher and up to date. Adding a little bit of novelty can go a long way design wise, whether it’s a brand new furniture piece, a pillow, or a rug. And sometimes it’s blinds that can do the trick. The wonderful thing about blinds is that they have the unique ability to refresh both the interior as well as the exterior part of the home, and can add a layer of cosiness and elegance to any setting. If you’re looking for a modern and innovative window treatment to beautify your home, I’d suggest getting dual roller blinds. Why? Simply because they are the most versatile blinds ever invented, [&hellip

It’s common knowledge among gym-goers that receiving the right amount of nutrients in order to stay healthy is done through proper supplementation. However, for the most part, vitamins seem to be ignored by the majority. It’s arguably more difficult to get enough vitamins into your system with food alone, especially if some of the meals include processed foods. You can easily burn out your body after a hard work out, which can result in your immune system becoming weakened

The canteen is one of the most quintessential items to take on any camping trip. It has a very simple but very valuable function, namely to keep your cold drinks cold, and your warm drinks warm. But, just because it is one of the most popular pieces of camping equipment, it doesn’t mean that it is useless in everyday life to us normal non-tent dwellers

Even though most of us have seen colourful tapes laid down in warehouses, near swimming pools or even on high visibility vests, you might not have noticed exactly how prevalent they actually are. Not only do they come in multiple types, but they are also used virtually everywhere for many more tasks than people would even believe. When a certain job requires people to often-times be in dangerous conditions adhesive safety tape can play a crucial role in ensuring the security and well-being of both workers and passers-by alike. Many of them also come with different backing material (the substance that holds the adhesive) that makes them capable of being applied to almost any surface, including metal, plastic or even cloth. Reflective tape, as the [&hellip
