Knowing when enough is enough is an important aspect of a successful professional career. Drawing a line and prioritizing can not only enable you to do a better job at work, but also help you hold on to your sanity.

A fun and informative business infographic on why businesses should become paperless. Not only would have a paperless office save money but it would also do amazing wonders for the environment! Average office worker uses 833 sheets of paper P/M which is 20 reams of A4 paper and costs a business £117.20 per person per year. However, it takes 10 litres of water to produce 1 sheet of of A4 paper. There are great cloud alternatives such as Dropbox, Google Docs, Prezi but 95% of business information is still stored on paper. If you go paperless it could mean... money in the bank.

If you look for adventures you have arrived at the right spot. There are so many outdoor activities just waiting to pump up your adrenalin. All you need is to give them a try. No, these are not the usual suspects – rafting, climbing, mountaineering, etc. Let’s have a look at some not (yet) so popular ways to pump um your adrenaline. Let’s start with coasteering. As the name suggests it involves all activities that can be done around a coast such as swimming, diving, jumping, climbing, scrambling, traversing,canyoning, etc. All you need is to find a coast and start your adventure. You can basically do whatever you fancy and use the nature of the coast line to aid you. There is only one limitation of coasteering – you cannot practice it everywhere because you need a coast. If you are up for some exercise, you should definitely go for mud-running. Imagine a field covered with mud and water and full of obstacles like broken glass, nets and anything that you could think of. And now comes the fun part because you need to cross it ahead of your opponents. You can expect a lot of different terrains so your muscles will not stay unchallenged. The next thing on our list is quad biking. Quad bikes were invented back at the end of the 19th century and have been used by farmers to gather sheep and cattle. They can be used on all terrains and are especially useful for country roads, rocky, bumpy and dusty terrains. In fact, it was used by the military in many countries so its racing potential is not a surprise. Your driving skills, your patience and endurance will be tested to the limit with quad bikes and you can choose between different models with different power. Off-roading is a more expensive sport where you use your 4x4 vehicle to compete on a rough terrain. It is a lot of fun, takes a lot of skill and is not very cheap. Geocaching takes the old game of hide and seek to a new level. You need to find a container hidden by another player using your GPS. It can be anywhere in the world and you can look for as many “treasures” as you want – you just need to register at https://www.geocaching.com and get started. Tree-walking is an activity that can be practiced anywhere and is popular even in the cities. All you need is trees connected with each other bydifferent ropes, bars, etc. on which is not easy to walk. Your goal is to complete the route as quickly as you can. Scrambling is something between hiking and climbing as you need to get down from rocky tops without using any equipment but your hands. Fun but dangerous, it is a truly exhausting activity. Segway racing can be done on many terrains using Segway, including Segway polo, safari, etc. In fact, the harder the terrain, the bigger the fun is. Our advice – try all of them!

Gambling in the UK has existed for more than 2000 years. According to legend, Brutus of Troy defeated a pair of giants to establish “New Troy” near the banks of river Thames. Traces of Gambling have been found around 50 AD. The Roman then were famous for playing a board game named “Duodecim Scriptorum” which later evolved into Tabula and finally Backgammon. William, the Conqueror made betting on the result of jousting events very popular in London. In 13th century, soldiers brought new forms of Gambling called “Hazard” to London. During the Renaissance, the betting became a craze when Henry VIII came to power. In 1649, Oliver Cromwell banned horse racing, gambling dens and cockfights. Charles II gave a major push to gambling during Renaissance when he assigned Sir Thomas Neale to oversee gambling in the entire city. “Pedestrianism” became a new fad in London during 18th & 19th century. Wagers were made on the time required to run, walk or hop a given distance. The distances became larger as the wagers became larger. One of the great bets was of an amount of Euro 20,000 for walking to Constantinople in less than a year. The great writer Jules Verne wrote a classic named “Around The World In 80 Days” that was based on the theme of Pedestranism. Motion pictures on the novel were made, one of them starring famous actor “Jackie Chan”. Source: http://casinofloor.com/

Holding onto phones, tablets and other electronic devices is weighing down the American public. Why? At uSell we believe people hang onto used devices unnecessarily because they are unaware the devices are still worth good money. To confirm this we surveyed 1,000 people using our exclusive Gadget Mass Index, a system that measures an individual’s propensity to store unused gadgets instead of disposing or selling them. The results clearly confirmed that 42% of all Americans suffer from EGO – Extreme Gadget Obesity. As reflected by the infographic, uSell.com found that Americans are very prone to holding onto old devices: - 30% have “moderate gadget weight” and keep their unused gadgets for 1-6 months; - 10% suffer from “severe gadget weight,” and keep their gadgets for 7 months-1 year; - 42% of smartphone users have “extreme gadget obesity” and keep unused phones for 2 years to forever; We also discovered men and women are motivated to get rid of their devices for different reasons: - Men who believe their devices will lose value over time are more likely to shed excess gadget weight; - Women who want to clean out clutter are more likely to shed excess gadget weight.

The airbrush is the most revolutionary art tool ever created. Airbrushes allow you to airbrush any type of paint or dye onto any surface imaginable. An airbrush is a small, air-operated tool that sprays various media including ink and dye, but most often paint by a process of nebulization. Spray guns were developed from the airbrush and are still considered a type of airbrush. The first airbrush, depending on the definition, was patented in 1876 (Patent Number 182,389) by Francis Edgar Stanley of Newton, Massachusetts. Stanley and his twin brother later invented a process for continuously coating photographic plates (Stanley Dry Plate Company) but are perhaps best known for their Stanley Steamer. No artistic images that used this 'paint distributor / atomiser' exist or are as yet known. An airbrush works by passing a stream of fast moving (compressed) air through a venturi, which creates a local reduction in air pressure (suction) that allows paint to be pulled from an interconnected reservoir at normal atmospheric pressure. The high velocity of the air atomizes the paint into very tiny droplets as it blows past a very fine paint-metering component. The paint is carried onto paper or other surface.
