Traditional air purifiers use HEPA filters which could allow some pollutants to escape, grow, or re-release into the air. Molekule uses PECO filters, a new technology that is said to destroy the pollutants entirely. This tech could be particularly beneficial for people who suffer from allergies. The Allergy and Asthma Foundation of America notes that not only do more than 50 million people experience allergies each year but that allergies are the 6th leading cause of chronic illness in the US. Although there is no cure for allergies, thanks to this tech, long-time allergy sufferers, like six-time Dancing with the Stars winner Derek Hough, can finally breathe a little easier.

“I honestly would rather have the flu than an allergy attack when I'm on stage,” said the Emmy Award-winning star who has struggled with allergies his entire life but never considered part of the problem could be in his own home.“My brain didn't even go to ‘Oh, there's bad air quality in my house, or in my bedroom,’” Hough said. "I have pets, and I live in California and we have a lot of wildfires, unfortunately, and a lot of that air gets trapped inside our homes — my home. So as I was learning about it I was like, 'Well, this sounds like a great product not only just to capture these particles but to actually destroy them.' "

When Hough first tried the Molekule, he noticed an almost instantaneous difference in the air. “I usually wake up with puffy eyes and runny nose and just a bad start to the day all around. When I put the Molekule in there, I immediately woke up feeling fresh, feeling great, and I was honestly just like, "Wait...this is an awesome product; this is fantastic!”

Hough added it gives him peace of mind to know that he’s coming home to a safe haven for him to recharge and refuel and isn’t just sitting in allergens.

During performances when Hough would have an allergic attack, he would sneeze a lot, have a runny nose and “essentially be dancing blind.” Now that Molekule has released its new Air Mini, he can carry that peace of mind on-the-go. "I can put it on the tour bus, or I can put it in the dance studio, or I can take it with me on the road."

Jaya Rao, COO of Molekule, states that the "Air Mini enables us to reach even more people with the latest innovations in home air purification...Now with Air Mini, even more consumers can reap the benefits of our PECO technology, as it destroys indoor air pollutants and provides truly clean air."

Air pollution can affect more than just your coordination. It can cause a variety of illnesses and affect your lungs and cardiovascular health. If you’re seeking an alternative to traditional humidifiers and air filters, try the Air Mini for half the price of the full-size Molekule.

As a Power of Women honoree, Mariska was recognized in regards to her work as an advocate for sexual assault survivors. She took the stage and used her platform to discuss rape and assault conviction reversals, shining a light on the recent overturned ruling in Harvey Weinstein's landmark NYC case. Here's what she said:

Today I want to talk about reversing convictions, and more specifically I want to talk to you about how impossible it is to reverse mine. It’s impossible to reverse my conviction that survivors matter. It is impossible to reverse my conviction that what happens to us matters, and that our society must respond to survivors with a more a compassionate, holistically, deeper, and more nuanced understanding of what healing means.

It is impossible to reverse my conviction that after a trauma, survivors can reclaim lives of hope, of possibility, of audacious risk, beautiful intimacy, and glorious, glorious abundant joy. And I stand before you as evidence of that statement.

It is impossible to reverse my conviction that we must listen to survivors as experts on what justice means. It is extraordinary how little their voices are consulted, let alone incorporated, in the process of deciding how to repair harm. Justice is not a one-size-fits-all journey.

It is impossible to reverse my conviction that patriarchal impunity has to end. Patriarchal impunity is when a male-dominated system exempts perpetrators from punishment. Studies show that only 20% of all rape cases in the U.S. are reported to the police, and that between 5 and 0% of all rapes result in a guilty plea or a conviction. So why do 80% of victims not report? Because they're met with a system that grants impunity to perpetrators; a system that blames victims; a system that accepts only those victims who are experienced as "real" rape; a system that completely misunderstands the neurobiology of trauma, which causes behavior in women that doesn't fit the picture of how a "real victim" would act.

Is that change needed that victims should just pull themselves together? Just buck up and report anyway? No. No, it's the system that receives them that needs to change

It is impossible to reverse my conviction — and the conviction of my extraordinary team, The Joyful Heart — that the backlog of untested rape kits can be brought to zero; that the testing of all new kits must be mandated; that we need a statewide kit tracking system; and that survivors have the right to access the status of their kits.

It is impossible to reverse my conviction that grammar — yes, grammar — that we use when we speak about rape must change. In the sentence, "A woman is raped," there's a crime and there's a victim, but there's no perpetrator. Where's the perpetrator? Where is he? Statistically, as we know, most likely he's walking free. He's so free that he doesn't even appear in the language about the crime that he committed. Is that not extraordinary? It's extraordinary that in the very grammar, the perpetrator goes free. Reintroducing perpetrators in the language of rape will make some very unwieldy grammar, but that's the nature of change. It's unwieldy, it's messy, it's uncomfortable, but it's necessary.

Hargitay continued on in her prolific speech to describe that rape shouldn't be considered a "crime of passion" because it's "not simply the next step in the trajectory of his passion" when a man takes a consensual hookup too far and assaults a woman against her will. She stated that it's "an exercise of power," doubling down that the language we use is important.

The speech went on to address that rape is both about power and control, as a "construct" that was "built, and assembled, and reinforced over time." She noted that there are people with these positions of power — and she specifically called out those in the entertainment industry — that could make a difference and aligned themselves to victims and survivors.

After this and some other remarks, Hargitay specifically called out the Weinstein conviction reversal. She said:

I do want to say something about the Harvey Weinstein conviction, specifically about the reason that it was overturned: too many women's voices. Too many women's voices were allowed to speak. Hallelujah! Amen! I can't imagine anything more beautiful than that. The Daily podcast episode talked about how it was so risky for the prosecution to have that many women testify. Risky to let women speak? You're damn right it is!

Too many women speaking brings change. Too many women speaking shakes the establishment. Too many women means we get listened to more, and people might actually hear what we have to say. Look what happened when women started saying just two words, right? Me too — just as an example — a tidal wave of change. Me too.

And then of course, there was the response: the Me Too Movement. The backlash. The examination of whether the changes that have come are lasting, or are even positive. Of course there's a backlash! What did they expect? For women to speak repeatedly, loudly, together, with a purpose — for there to be no backlash? The backlash is evidence of how powerful those voices were, how powerful those voices ARE.
