Sun Damage Indoors? With Olay, You Can Sun-proof Your Skin, Any Time, Anywhere

Staying indoors is often one of the easiest ways to escape the blazing summer heat. Lazing inside the office or home in airconditioned comfort has become a great way to spend the long days of summer, far away from the pollution, humidity, and the scorching heat outside. 

Contrary to popular thinking, even the indoors do not provide enough protection from the damaging rays of the sun. In fact, studies show that staying by a window indoors all day long without sunscreen is equivalent to the sun damage experienced from taking a 15-minute walk out during lunch time.

According to the American Cancer Society and the Skin Care Foundation, 62.8% of UVA rays can penetrate building and car windows. Moreover, fluorescent lighting can also produce small amounts of UV rays that can be damaging to skin over time.

Creative industries put spotlight on illegal streaming in WIPD 2018

Every year, World Intellectual Property Day (WIPD) marks the ongoing impact that intellectual property rights (IPR) make in encouraging innovation and creativity. In the creative sphere, patents, trademarks and copyrights are essential to protecting the work of original content creators, enabling them to profit from their work and fuel their next big idea.

As part of the Philippines’ commemoration of WIPD, the local creative industry honors the genius and courage of Filipino men and women who are shaping local cinema, TV, music, literature and other artistic fields – those who inspire the next generation of content creators, raise the bar for these industries, and champion legal means of content consumption.

Filipinos now typically consume content through the Internet; and in today’s digital world, illegal downloading and streaming of content is a widespread problem that will deprive content creators of an ecosystem that encourages creativity and innovation. Online piracy will threaten not only the livelihoods of those in the production of films and television – actors, directors, writers, and producers, camera operators, stuntmen, costume and make-up – but everyone involved in the creative community, from distribution, to exhibition, television and online.

ONE Championship unveils new battlefield in 13th trip to Manila on April 20

If it can be said of the ultimate proving grounds of combat sports, there is nothing more closely associated with a roped platform famously referred to as  “The Squared Circle.”
