The process of applying for jobs is long and tedious, and you have to deal with a lot of things.
This is why it can be easy for you to have the habit of postponing your job search for a couple of weeks or doubting whether you have the ability.

If you are in a rut, don’t worry.
Below are 10 tips that will help you stay motivated when searching for a job.

1. There is always something for everyone
No matter how relentless and draining the process of searching for a job is, whether the countless cover letters you have to write and waiting for responses anxiously; keep in mind that the right job for you is on its way.
This may be a cliché, but it is something to keep in mind when you start noticing your motivation fading.

2. Giving your job search a sense of routine
Have a few hours a day where you focus on your job search, and this is where you give the job application the focus it deserves.

By getting up early, you will be giving the search a stronger sense of purpose, instead of spending the entire day in your bed then feeling you have wasted your day when it ends.

If the routine starts to feel monotonous, consider changing your scene because it can have a positive impact.
Going to your local library or café can go a long way.

3. Writing down your strengths then setting out your goals
Make a list of your skills and abilities, then write down your long-term goals and achievements.
This will give you a morale boost, and it will help in compartmentalizing your ambitions and strengths, which can help when you write your cover letter. Also follow these tips on how to improve your resume.

4. Quality over quantity
You might be tempted to apply for a lot of roles because you satisfy the requirements, or because the salary and benefits of the role are good.

It is a good idea to focus on roles that you are genuinely interested in
You might have to send out fewer applications every day, but if you focus is on quality over sending many letters, then you will end thanking yourself in the future.

5. Accepting rejection
One of the toughest things is rejection, especially when you have invested a lot of effort and passion into your cover letter or even the interview, then you end up being dismissed.

One thing you need to remember is rejection happens to everyone, and you should try looking at it as a blessing in disguise.

Your next interview might lead to your dream job, always have faith.

6. Seeking constructive criticism
The process of asking an interviewer why you did not get the job or what you can do to improve your chances can seem daunting, but it is going to help you in the long run.

While it might lower your self-esteem at first, you will get information that can help you in preparing for the next interview.

You can also seek the opinion of your friend and family member by giving them your cover letter or CV to proofread.

7. Celebrating small achievements
The process of looking for a job can be disheartening, which is why it is important to celebrate even the smallest of victories, e.g. getting applications in the double figures or being invited for an interview. The end goal of the process is landing the job, but the process tends to be very long in most cases. It is important to remember there are many steps between sending out your CV to signing a contract so you don’t feel stressed when you don’t find a job right away.

8. Move on quickly and avoid getting too attached
If there is a role you are excited about, it is natural for you to be hung up on waiting for the response from the hiring manager or recruiter.

What this does is make the rejection even harder to deal with.
You should never have all your eggs in one basket, which is why you should consider other options.

9. Have some time for yourself
This is key. Once a while, take a break from applying. You might start to feel like there is nothing you are achieving by not researching jobs. However, you ease your mind when you have time for yourself. Do some exercises, meet up with friends, and have some time for yourself.

10. Reminding yourself that you are not alone
You might start feeling like everyone else is employed or having more success with their job applications, but this is not the case.

There are thousands of people searching for a job daily – and there are some who have been doing it for much longer than you.

Have this mindset when things start getting tough.
We hope the tips above will help you.
Always be positive – good luck!

When Are You Moving To Mars?

Introducing Mighty Watts

Mighty by name. Minimal by nature. Mindblowing by design. Mighty Watts is ready to revolutionise renewable energy. Cash Sherpa believe this could possibly save the world. This is the real deal. Believe climate change is real? Don’t believe it is real? It doesn’t really matter – It will give you free clean energy – – You win either way.

It’s A Wind Turbine. But Not As You Know It.

Wind turbines are playing a big role in creating cleaner, greener energy. Really big. And that’s the problem. Their size. Who’s got room in their back or front yard for a huge spinning propeller? In fact, with Mighty Watts, you do not see any blade movement.

Mighty Watts is a small wind turbine that punches well above its weight. It’s a fraction of the size of current wind turbines, yet can create enough energy to power homes, cars, entire businesses.

It’s a highly efficient energy generator with the power to transform the renewable energy sector.

Watt The World Needs Right Now…

With global warming a reality, we’re reaching a critical turning point in the story of our planet. And the Mighty Watts Wind Generator will give everyone the opportunity to access free, clean energy that gives us an alternative to the traditional and damaging fossil fuel burning energy sources that are cutting short the lifespan of our planet.

What Does Mighty Watts Do?

– Makes wind turbine energy accessible to all.

– Generates enough energy to heat/cool a home, drive a car, run a business.

– Takes up a fraction of the space of current wind turbines.

What They’re Saying About The Concept…

This highly efficient wind generator can be described as a technology that will transform the renewable energy sector once and for all. Mighty Watts has a totally unique design and improved features when compared to current wind turbines. LAWRENCE WRITTIN. Reg Mechanical Engineer & Member of Engineers Board

Why Mighty Watts Needs To Happen

Everyone who cares about the future of the planet and the kind of planet we want our kids to inherit has a vested interested in seeing the Mighty Watts concept come to fruition. We need ways to stop pumping harmful carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, and we need them now. Mighty Watts is ready to enter prototype stage, and that’s where you come in.

You Can Help Mighty Watts Happen

“Hi, I’m Roger G Phillips, creator of the revolutionary Mighty Watts wind generator. I’m on a mission to provide a free and clean renewable energy source for EVERYONE. My goal is to not just reduce but TOTALLY ELIMINATE the environmental and financial cost of heating/cooling homes, powering vehicles and running businesses. I’m looking to raise $350,000 to create a next stage prototype of Mighty Watts, bringing free energy generation for all a step closer.”

Why Mighty Watts Is Worth Your Backing

Conventional wind generators are huge. Way too cumbersome for anyone to have in their back yard. They need to be big because their design requires them to sweep a large area in order to extract the most energy from the wind. The only way these wind turbines can generate better results is by building them bigger.

But aren’t advancements in technology meant to make things smaller?

Yes, and that’s exactly what Mighty Watts is. A more technologically advanced wind turbine that works differently to the current crop, yet still has the power to generate impressive amounts of energy.

Meet The Team Ready To Build Mighty Watts

“Hi, I am Roger Phillips, inventor of the Mighty Watts wind turbine. I am a U.S. Navy veteran, 75 years old, and now a full time RV’er. I ran 2 businesses before retiring – Kapow Photo Gifts and The Comfort Zone Inn, both in Minnesota. It started about 10 years ago, sitting on the back patio, wondering how to reduce my $1700.00 power bill for my commercial building. This was shortly after the economy collapsed in 2008. It did not all come to me at once, slowly in one piece after another. Now it is all together and I CANNOT BELIEVE I INVENTED THIS, especially at a time when the world is screaming for a solution to global warming. To finish the project the final engineering has to be done, along with a CFD (computer fluid dynamics) analysis. When optimized by CFD, the production ready files need to be done to build the life size prototype for real life testing. To say “I AM STOKED” is an understatement.”

Project Timeline

2009 – 2012 – Developing the basic design of the wind turbine
2012 – 2017 – Working with engineers to produce the 1st stage
2017 – 2019 – Developing the KICKER and the SECRET SAUCE (2nd & 3rd stages)

“This needs to be fast tracked. I believe we can finish the engineering in 3 to 6 months with a team of 3 to 4 engineers, each with the different skills needed. Once done the production ready files could be done in 6 weeks, and another 6 weeks to build the first one to test.”

How Mighty Watts Works

This is where things get a little technical, but not too much. And hey, you’ve read this far, so I hope you’re at least a little bit interested in the tech Roger Phillips is using to build his wind generator.

Mighty Watts: Free Eco-Friendly Wind Energy

Here’s a quick overview of how it works:

– Increases wind speed

– Leverages at the outer parameters of the turbine

– Uses a Venturi behind the blades

– Narrows the wind access area to increase velocity

– Eliminates the rear low pressure pocket

The Benefits Mighty Watts Brings

– Creates a 350% increase in velocity

– Generates 28 x more energy

– All within a smaller area. So you can have an energy generator outside your home. Facing in any direction. Harnessing the power of wind from any direction.

Ready to back this? The inventor appreciates every donation that gets him toward the target he needs to develop and test a prototype.

If you’re eager to deep dive into some of the technical details about the project, stay with this page as that’s where it’s headed next…

Mighty Watts Increases Wind Speed?

Yes, it happens by forcing the wind through a smaller area. Just like when a wide river hits a narrow area and forms rapids. It’s the same with wind. And scientists know that velocity works to the power of 3, so doubling the speed creates 2 x 2 x 2 of energy. 8 TIMES AS MUCH.

Not to keep knocking current wind turbines, which are doing a great job, but they are reliant on compressing westerly winds blowing through mountains and valleys. But here’s the thing – Mighty Watts can increase the velocity of wind coming from ANY DIRECTION.

Leverage Outer Parameters?

Mighty Watts forces the wind to pass through a smaller turbine blade access area on the outer edges. This is achieved with a cone in the middle of the front surface area, guiding the wind away from the center , to where it gets the maximum leverage to the axis point.

Venturi?

The Venturi takes the outside wind travelling at its normal speed, forcing it through a smaller area where it speeds the wind up behind the blades, eliminating the resistance to the incoming wind.

No Resistance & Narrower Access Area?

With no resistance to the incoming wind, the access area can be further narrowed, increasing the velocity even more. The turbine removes the energy from the increased wind speed, returning it to the same speed that the Venturi is increasing the wind to behind the blades. Called “flow continuation.”

Low Pressure Pocket?

Compressed wind from the Venturi and wind behind the turbine blades decompresses in the Venturi’s reverse cone, filling the low pressure pocket, returning the wind to the same speed at which it entered the unit. So there’s no low pressure. No turbulence. And yes, “flow continuation”.

Watts Not To Like About An Invention Designed To Save The World?

That’s what this boils down to. The vision is to see a Mighty Watts outside every home, generating free energy to heat and power people’s lives and drive their cars for free. And no need to rebuild the grid. But he can’t get there without your help… . Let’s get this done and get on to the other problems we have. CLICK HERE TO DONATE and be a champion for the world.

Startup Promises More HP, Better MPG, And Less Car Engine Wear

There’s an interesting t startup on Kickstarter that’s promising more horsepower, better miles per gallon, and less wear on your engine. The product is called TriboTEX. For more information check out their Kickstarter campaign: http://www.tribotex.com/ks/. You fund them, they will ship immediately. TriboTEX has 300 packages on hand, ready to go.

Users of TriboTEX will get the full benefits of the product in about 500 miles or two tanks of gas.

TriboTEX Kickstarter

The research for TriboTEX started all the way back in August 2009. In February 2017 the Kickstarter was launched.

Technology Behind TriboTEX

“It’s like ceramic protective coatings used in some of high-performance engines, but it reduces friction 10X BETTER than engine oil alone. In engine tests we discovered that:

– Fuel economy performance increased by 6-8% in a car with 130K+ miles with compression going up.

– Cylinders in your engine form a film that is thicker in a transverse direction, As a result, ellipticity decreases and compression increases. So engine “repair” itself as the TriboTEX coating goes to work.

– Engine noise drops dramatically. On idle your engine noise will be so low, your neighbors may not even hear your car in the AM and your mechanic will hear your injectors as dominant source of a noise.

– Easily adds 3%+ more power under your hood without disassembly”

What Won’t Product Do?

– “It will not ruin your catalytic converter on newer cars like other oil additives (ZDDP), Pollute the environment because all TriboTEX ingredients are environmentally friendly. Leave you wondering “if it’s working”. You’ll feel & hear it as soon as 15 minutes after, due to coating in journal bearings while performance boost will come later when your cylinders get coated.”

Notables

“We’ve been awarded over $1,033K+ in grants from the National Science Foundation and other agencies to conduct research and make our material in large production quantities. Now we need you to bring TriboTEX to life in your vehicle.”

New Type Of Light Found

I saw this article yesterday on CNN. So interesting! Here is the full article: http://www.cnn.com/2016/05/17/tech/light-new-properties-discovery/index.html. Wanted to share this with my audience in case you didn’t hear about this.

Ireland researchers have reported that they discovered a “new form” of light, and say that their discovery “will impact our understanding of the fundamental nature of light.” The discovery was published in the scientific journal “Science Advances.”

“What I think is so exciting about this result is that even this fundamental property of light, that physicists have always thought was fixed, can be changed.”

Eastham suggested that the discovery could have implications for telecommunications and privacy.

Turmeric: The Healthy Wonder Spice

Turmeric: The Healthy Wonder Spice

In an article by world-renowned holistic doctor, Andrew Weil, MD, entitled, 3 Reasons to Eat Turmeric, under the heading, What is Turmeric? He states:

“Turmeric (Curcuma longa) is a culinary spice that spans cultures – it is a major ingredient in Indian curries, and makes American mustard yellow. But evidence is accumulating that this brightly colored relative of ginger is a promising disease-preventive agent as well, probably due largely to its anti-inflammatory action.”

The article goes on to state that, “…turmeric appears to outperform many pharmaceuticals in its effects against several chronic, debilitating diseases, and does so with virtually no adverse side effects.”

The Turmeric Extract Curcumin Found to Reduce Symptoms of Anxiety and Depression in a Recent Study Out of Australia

A randomized, double-blind study of the benefits of turmeric/curcumin as it applies to anxiety and depression recently backed up the results of former studies that showed the effectiveness of the turmeric extract in functioning as an anxiolytic. Dr. Adrian Lopressor, who headed up the research study at Murdoch University in Australia, said:

“Curcumin’s positive antidepressant and anti-anxiety effects are likely due to its ability to normalize specific physiological pathways. It appears to elevate neurotransmitters such as serotonin, while lowering stress hormones, such as cortisol, and is a potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory. Curcumin also provides protection to the brain.”

Speaking of protecting the brain, it seems that multiple studies have shown that the turmeric/curcumin extract is almost a wonder spice/herb. Of its many amazing benefits, the following are sited:

Anxiety and Depression

Alzheimer’s Disease

Heart Disease

Cancer

Arthritis

Longevity

Anti-aging

Studies have now revealed that what seems to account for the multiple health benefits found in the turmeric/curcumin extract are due in large part to its very strong and powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.

It should be noted that the curcumin found in turmeric, although extremely low in weight, is what mostly accounts for the health benefits. Curcumin alone does not absorb well into the bloodstream. It is therefore important to be sure that it is combined with piperine (or bioperine). The piperine boosts absorption by about 2000%. If the turmeric/curcumin extract is taken alone, most of the extract will pass through your digestive tract without giving you the benefits you are trying to achieve.

While we are siting the benefits of turmeric/curcumin, here is another one that you will want to keep in mind. Due to its strong anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, curcumin strongly fights free radicals. But it gets even better. It stimulates your body to boost its own antioxidants.

With all of this research evidence, it’s no wonder that it prompted Kris Gunnars, a nutrition researcher with a BSc, to state the following:

“Turmeric may be the most effective nutritional supplement in existence.”

Cryotherapy: How Does It Really Work?

Cryotherapy: How Does It Really Work?

The theory of cryonics has been around for many years, although cryotherapy is relatively new and becoming a trend, especially among athletes.

So What Exactly Is Cryotherapy?

In order to understand cryotherapy, one needs to first have a brief understanding of cryonics. In an article on cryonics, Wikipedia states:

“…the modern era of cryonics began in 1962 when Michigan college physics teacher Robert Ettinger proposed in a privately published book, The Prospect of Immortality, that freezing people may be a way to reach future medical technology. (The book was republished in 2005 and remains in print.) Even though freezing a person is apparently fatal, Ettinger argued that what appears to be fatal today may be reversible in the future.”

The practice of cryotherapy was an outshoot of cryonics. Today there are various methods used for cryotherapy.

The technology of whole body cryotherapy began in 1978 in Japan. It was developed and used for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. From Japan, cryotherapy spread to Europe where more advanced studies developed further uses for cryotherapy.

Whole body cryotherapy is usually performed by clinicians and takes the place of cold water immersion or ice packs. The individual receiving the therapy wears minimal clothing, gloves, a woolen headband that covers the ears and a nose and mouth mask. Dry shoes and socks protect the feet. The person will then enter a chamber where they are exposed to extremely cold dry air that reaches temperatures of -100 ? C for 2 -4 minutes. In some cases the whole body cryotherapy allows the individuals head and neck to be free above the chamber.

What Medical Conditions Are Helped by Cryotherapy?

As mentioned earlier, cryotherapy has gained most of its credibility for relieving athletic aches and pains. As the technology keeps advancing though, cryotherapy uses also advance. The following list shows some of the most popular ways people are being helped through cryotherapy:
Muscle Soreness and Stiffness
Muscle and Injury Recovery
Arthritis
Insomnia
Anxiety
Depression
Skin and Facial Treatments
Diseases like MS and Cancer

Why Do People Choose Cryotherapy and Does Medical Insurance Pay for Cryotherapy?

People from all walks of life have chosen to try cryotherapy for various reasons. It seems that once a person gets over the initial apprehension of allowing their body temperature to be so drastically reduced, they come out of a session as a true believer.

Scott K, from California states:

“I’m 51 years old and this…is the fountain of youth…my stress level is down and I sleep much better.  I’ve had some various nagging aches and pains for years that have all cleared up.  I also find that I have more energy working out.”

Hailey C, from Nevada, who regularly has cryofacials, says:

“The Hydrafacial took about 30 minutes and made such a difference in my skin! My aesthetician, Lora, explained the whole process and was very nice! At the end of the treatment she showed me everything she got out of my skin during the treatment so I knew it worked well!
The Cryofacial felt very relaxing and helped to tighten my pores.”

An athlete, Jeff D, claims cryotherapy works better than more traditional treatments:

“I have chronic back pain and tons of sports related injuries and this…really works. The chamber treatments are awesome and the localized treatments really work and help get rid of dull pain that simply ice and ibuprofen would not take away.”

While medical insurance policies in many European countries recognize treatment through cryotherapy, the United States health insurance companies still do not reimburse for whole body cryotherapy. Down the road, however, as cryotherapy continues to become a more accepted medical treatment, health insurance companies in the US will have to reevaluate their policies.
