The best restaurants in Seminyak
What is it? A sleek tropical-industrial space serving creative Asian-Latin fusion in the heart of Seminyak. Why we love it: Kilo's menu plays with unexpected combos: think wasabi tuna tartare on rice crackers, squid ink rice with crispy soft shell crab or miso-marinated wagyu. It's sophisticated but totally unpretentious - the kind of place where dinner turns into drinks without missing a beat.

Amazon Just Slashed the Price of This Ultra-Quiet Air Purifier, Now at an All-Time Low
With so many air purifiers on the market, it's difficult not to be bogged down by all the choices, features and prices out there. Not all air purifiers are created equal: some aren't even capable of delivering real results, while others are prohibitively expensive. That's what makes the Afloia Kilo air purifier different from the rest of its type: it's an affordable, highly effective, and very silent solution if you're looking to purify the air in your living space without overspending. Currently on sale for an all-time low price of $59 on Amazon which is a whopping 54% markdown from its original $129, this model offers great value if you're looking for a healthier environment. See at Amazon Handles Large Spaces, Quiet Model The Afloia Kilo is designed to handle large spaces and it is capable of cleaning rooms as large as 1,076 square feet. Its performance is impressive: it can clean the air in a room measuring 269 square feet four times per hour, and in one hour, clean the air completely in a room as large as 1,076 square feet. This renders it an ideal choice for open-plan living rooms, bedrooms, or any room where fresh air is paramount. The backbone of Afloia's success lies in its advanced filtration technology which captures 99.97% of air particles 0.03 microns and above in size, eliminating dust, pollen, pet dander, mold, smoke, and odor. For allergy sufferers, pet owners, or anyone sensitive to indoor toxins, this means huge relief from sneezing, coughing, and other allergy issues. One of the Afloia Kilo's most compelling selling points is its very quiet operation: In sleep mode, it produces only 22 decibels of sound-better than a whisper which makes it ideal for bedroom, nursery or any room where quiet and peace are paramount. The in-built 7-color LED night light adds an extra level of personalization where you can customize the mood in your bedroom or provide your child with a gentle nightlight. The light automatically reduces when sleep mode is enabled to ensure you get a restful night's sleep. It also has a timer function with 2, 4, and 8-hour intervals and you can configure it so that its application is modified to suit your timetable and save energy. With its small and lightweight design, it is easy to move from one room to another, and the simple control means that anyone can install it and start using it in minutes. Maintenance is simple: the filter needs to be replaced every 4 to 6 months depending on your air quality, and replacement filters are readily available. At its current record-low price on Amazon, the Afloia Kilo Air Purifier is a compelling deal if you're looking to breathe cleaner air at home. Don't miss this opportunity, it's a really great deal.

Incredible dog retires after performing critical job that only he could do: 'No substitute'
The technology we have at our disposal today is nothing short of mind-blowing. Yet, somehow Mother Nature still manages to craft tools that humans couldn't even sniff. Take Kilo, for instance. This German shepherd was an eight-year veteran of the British Columbia Conservation Officer Service until his retirement last month, according to the Vancouver Sun. His job was to detect invasive mussel species using his superpowerful nose that has become the stuff of legends. In over 200 inspections, Kilo sniffed out more than two dozen contaminations. His exceptional work protecting Vancouver's delicate aquatic ecosystem resulted in the expansion of the program. He even got a fellow German shepherd named Major on the BC Conservation Officer Service payroll. The canine species is renowned for its exceptional sense of smell. Dogs have applied their noses to everything from disaster rescue to bomb-sniffing operations to discovering new species of truffles. Kilo's olfactory acumen, however, is even more exceptional than most. "Kilo's abilities are uniquely exceptional, and there is simply no substitute, human or mechanical, that can achieve what Kilo can and has done with his nose," the dog's handler, Sgt. Dan Bartol, told the Sun. On top of his incredible invasive mussel-detection abilities, Kilo is adept at a variety of other scent-centric skills. Bartol said that the shepherd is also "trained to search for people and evidence, including bear parts and shell casings, and assisted in numerous COS investigations." Dogs are enough of a reason all their own to inspire us to protect our planet. Not only do they offer pure unconditional love and companionship, but they help us in our conservation efforts. Kilo isn't the only example, either. In Australia, scent-detection dogs are even being used to protect the endangered koala population. They're doing this by seeking out koalas that are free of the dangerous chlamydia infections that threaten the species. There's also a dog named Eba in California that was adopted by a research biologist and trained to sniff out orca excrement. Her unique skill is being used to track and protect the endangered species. Should the government be paying people to hunt invasive species? Definitely Depends on the animal No way Just let people do it for free Click your choice to see results and speak your mind. Dogs … Earth's best friend.
