Top five unusual jobs

Do you find yourself panicking about finishing High School because all your friends seem to have it all it worked out, knowing exactly what they want do with their life, and what they need to do to achieve it? Don’t worry, because the ideal career for you is out there, the problem may not be that you are indecisive, it could be that you haven’t realised what weird and wonderful jobs are available. Here are five of the most unusual jobs, and who knows, one of them could be your dream career.

Dog food taster

If you didn’t immediately balk at this job title, you could be looking at your new career. A dog food tester is employed by companies that need verbal feedback (a bark doesn’t count) to determine the quality of new and existing products. This can be anything from tinned dog food, to dog bones and biscuits. Testers must note the texture and taste of their employer’s brand against that of rival companies.

Mortician

The role of a mortician may seem unusual, but as we all die one day it is reasonable to expect that there are many morticians in employment today. If human biology interests you, and you like the idea of providing dignified care to the deceased and their families, you could be the perfect person for the job. To work in any area of the mortuary services you will need specific training, so why not click on Mortuary Science Classes Near Me to find out more?

Train pusher

This job will require a change of address, as official train pushers currently only exist in Japan. The trains are so crowded over there that ‘Oshiyas’ are hired to push people into the carriages before the doors close, getting as many commuters on as possible. If getting paid to push people is tempting, pack your bags and get ready to go to Japan.

Professional sleeper

One Finnish hotel employed someone to test the comfort of their beds by getting them to sleep in a different one of their beds each night. It is not known whether this is a technique used by other establishments, but it could be worth enquiring at your local hotels, and proposing the idea should they not have considered it before.

Odour judge

If strange whiffs and putrid pongs don’t make you feel nauseous, consider becoming an odour judge. Oral hygiene, deodorant, and toiletry companies employ people to test the efficacy of their products, on other people’s bodies. Prepare to sniff, armpits, feet, and open mouths in this unusual occupation. We imagine you would be paid well in this role, otherwise, why on earth would you consider it?

Don’t give up hope, because as you can see, there are several occupations that probably won’t make it onto your career advisor’s list. If you haven’t discovered your perfect career among our list, a little more delving into the realm of unusual jobs could help you find the weird and wonderful career for you.

Vivo ushers the industry with its futuristic and state-of-the-art technology

In just a matter of few years, VIVO has managed to enter the global scene of the mobile industry, which was then dominated by only two or three big names. The young smartphone brand has proven that they can really change the game.

Vivo has broken the barriers and introduced technology that ushered the industry into the future. After all, it was Vivo that introduced a 20-megapixel dual front camera in V5 Plus and a 24MP front camera in V7, V7+, and V9.

The V5 is the first smartphone with a 20MP camera. 

The V5 was then followed by the release of the V5Plus (left) and V5s (right), both with 20MP selfie camera. The V5Plus, meanwhile, has a 20MP+8MP dual rear camera.

Aside from the selfie camera, Vivo also paid attention to the users’ need for a bigger screen. Earlier this year, Vivo released the ultimate iteration of a concept smartphone, the APEX™ FullView™, which nearly has a 100% screen-to-body display. The V9, Vivo’s newest flagship, is getting closer to goal with its 90% screen-to-body ratio.

Vivo is also the first to introduce the in-display fingerprint scanner that gives users another method to unlock their smartphones.

Vivo then introduced the first smartphones with 24MP front camera, the V7+ (left) and V7 (right).

Vivo then released the upgrade to its cameras, the V9 with a 24MP AI Selfie Camera and 16MP+5MP dual rear camera. 

It is still a wonder what Vivo will do next. For instance, it wowed the tech world with its bezel-less APEX concept smartphone because of its pop-up selfie camera to achieve the 100% screen-to-body ratio.

Helping the brand unlock the next best thing in the mobile industry are 2,200 dedicated research and development personnel in several R&D centers worldwide—in San Diego, United States and in China, specifically in Shenzhen, Dongguan, Nanjing, Hangzhou, and Beijing.

With all its development, it is no doubt that the young smartphone brand is already leading the pack to the future.

Becoming a Certified Nurses’ Aid

 A Certified Nurses’ Aid (or Assistant (CNA)) is at the very front line of patient care. Nursing aids are vital people within the medical profession and, without them, our hospitals would struggle to function and probably fall down around us. As a CNA, your compassion and dedication to patient care will help comfort your patients and help comfort those who are sick or suffering from serious conditions who are unable to look after themselves.

CNAs work under close supervision of qualified nurses and other medical staff to help patients go about their day-to-day lives, either in the hospital or at home.

#1: What Will You Do

You will work very closely with qualified nurses and other medical professionals and be responsible for the basic, compassionate care of people of all ages and from all walks of life. By taking care of feeding, bathing, dressing and general hygiene, you will make a real difference to the quality of life of people who are sick or suffering from any and all types of disease or illness.

You will also provide your patients with emotional and social support and be there for your patients when they need you most. Additionally, you will be tasked with closely monitoring your patients and feeding back information to nurses about your patients’ individual conditions and present state of health.

#2: How to Become a CNA

The first thing you need to do is complete a regulated CNA programme. These are typically offered through community colleges, vocational schools, and nursing homes. These programmes can be completed in as little as six weeks and generally include lots of class-based and practical study, including clinical instruction and lab-based practice.

As a CNA student, you will learn the very basics of being a nurse, providing high standards of patient care, develop your personal skills, learn to communicate with patients properly, and learn about their individual rights.

Courses which can be taken in high school to help towards your CNA include functional skills like English reading and writing, mathematics, and basic science. CNA courses do not pass just anybody; you will need to demonstrate your capabilities and willingness to learn.

You can learn more about becoming a CNA at cnacertification-training.com.

#3: Career Progression

Many CNAs unsurprisingly go on to pursue long and fulfilling careers in medicine, either as fully qualified nurses, and some even as doctors. If you have good academics and a willingness to progress and always put the patient first, there is no reason why you cannot pursue the dizzying heights and perform very well in the medical field.

Becoming a nurse or doctor (of course) will require further study and a college degree, so this is something to keep in mind if it is your long-term ambition. Many CNAs also have long and fulfilling careers as CNAs only, too.

A CNA works directly under the supervision of a nurse to provide overall non-medical care to their patients. Working closely with a nurse, you will look after your patient’s social and other non-medical needs and report back to your supervising nurse with regards to their condition and current state.

Century City Mall makes Memorable Mother's Day 2018

Mother's Day has always been one of the most celebrated occasions in the world. In the Philippines, it is always welcomed grandly at the malls, hotels, schools and a lot of other institutions.

Last Mother's Day 2018, I am grateful to be part of the celebration hosted by Century City Mall. It is not the usual Mother's Day celebration which is only about pampering. The event aside from serving great food and great bonding time for the family, also fed us with a lot of valuable information about Parenting by Avent, Bento Box Making by Bento Mommas, Cooking by Philips Appliances, Merienda Ideas by Alaska, Hair Make Over by Dyson and Basic Make-up by Avon Philippines.

Bento Box Making is really interesting as every Mom always want to give the best to the family especially to her kids. She would always want to provide the best nutrition for them and making a Bento Box for the kids' baon is an effective way to nourish them - to make them eat fruits and vegetables which kids usually don't want to eat as much as possible.

The basic make-up lessons taught by Avon representative is a reminder for every women that being beautiful is as simple as 1-2-3. They taught us very easy steps to effortlessly look great.

After the demos, Moms with their kids were treated to the Baby Shark Show. 

That was indeed very memorable as it is one of the very few celebrations that I get to enjoy with my kids and my blogger friends.

The Health Benefits of Cinnamon

Cinnamon is a popular spice around the world. It has a distinctly warm and sweet taste and easily blends in a recipe. Few people are aware of its rich nutritional value though. The bark of the cinnamon tree produces cinnamic acid, cinnamaldehyde and cinnamate which have immense health benefits. The bark is ground and used as a spice, or have the compounds extracted. Cinnamon ranks highly among herbs and spices when it comes to antioxidants. A little bit of cinnamon in your diet can go a long way in improving your health. Here are 8 proven health benefits of cinnamon.




Source of antioxidants
The antioxidants found in cinnamon helps prevent the skin from breaking out, hence preventing acne and slowing down aging. Cinnamon has higher levels of antioxidants compared to garlic, rosemary and thyme. Polyphenols, phenolic acid and flavonoids, the antioxidants found in cinnamon, help in limiting the buildup of nitric acid in the blood and peroxidation of fats which can affect the brain, heart and other body tissues. 

Anti-inflammatory
Inflammation can lead to severe health complications such as cancer, heart diseases and brain infection. Cinnamon contain anti-inflammatory properties that help reduce the chances of such. Because of the anti-inflammatory properties, cinnamon is also helpful in reducing pain and soreness of the muscles. 

Sweeten recipes without additional sugar
Sugar is not good for your health. Cinnamon’s natural sweet taste can help in cutting down on the amount of sugar in your foods. It can be used in drinks, baked food and in oatmeal as a substitute for sugar. Cinnamon can also help in keeping craving for food in check hence helping in managing one’s weight. Smashingtops.Com has amazing recipes in which you can use cinnamon as a spice. 

Good for the heart
High levels of cholesterol can trigger heart attacks and high blood pressure. Cinnamon help in managing the levels of cholesterol in the body. It improves blood circulation within the body. The spice also helps in the formation of blood clots hence reducing bleeding in the event of a cut. 

Fight against diabetes
Cinnamon helps in balancing blood sugar levels by improving sensitivity to insulin. It also blocks alanine enzymes which are responsible for allowing sugar into the bloodstream after taking a meal with high sugar content. Supplementing their diets with cinnamon can help people in their fight against diabetes. 

Protect the brain
The antioxidants found in cinnamon can be useful in preventing neurological disorders such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases. It protects the brain cells from mutation and self-damage hence protecting the brain health and cognitive function. 

Dental health
Cinnamon helps in fighting oral bacteria that cause cavities, mouth infections, tooth decay and bad breath. It is a natural mouthwash and can be used as a breath freshener. It is also used to treat toothaches. 

Fights candida.
The spice can also be used to prevent or cure fungal infections such as candida. It lowers the growth of yeasts that cause problems in the digestive tract. Candida is also associated with excess sugar in the digestive tract, and we have already discussed how cinnamon lowers blood sugar in the body.

Emborg Amazing Moms - celebration of a Mother's undying dedication for the family

Not all Moms are so generous (when it comes to material things) to the point that they will pamper you till you get spoiled. Not all Moms would say I love you every day or hug and kiss you from morn till night. Some Moms are too tough, some Moms are too strong that they would not show they care thru gestures or words. But when Mom cooks good and healthy dishes for you, when she gives you the best nutrition, don't ask for anything more, for there are only a few more ways a mother shows her love other than food. After all, a mother is her child's first source of sustenance, and the desire to nourish her kids extends well beyond their childhood. Food is every mom's expression of love, and as long as there is love, then food will always be a mother's priority.

Family-owned Emborg aligns with mothers in their desire to provide real, nutritious and tasty meals for their children through dairy products that taste good and score high on quality, health and affordability. As mothers take on hybrid roles in and out of the household, Emborg products allow them to prepare quick, easy and delicious meals that transform each family meal.

A substantial array of dairy products take quality ingredients and couples them customer-focused packaging. Emborg Butters and Spreads are suitable for cooking, baking or simply slathering on all kinds of breads, while Natural Sliced Cheeses and Burger & Sandwich Slices elevate standard grab-and-go meals that are whipped up in a cinch. Shredded Cheese, Block Cheese, Feta & White Cheese, Fresh Cheese, Mold Cheese and Deli Counter Cheeses incorporate the gourmet touch into pastas, meat-and-cracker boards, salads and every other dish imaginable, while Emborg's milk-based products add flavor and body to every meal. Emborg Creams are rich additions to savory dishes and desserts; UHT Milks are perfect for recipes or drank on their own; while Yogurts and Protein Shakes make healthy living a delicious and convenient endeavor. Emborg's Junior line—a variety of cheeses and milks packaged for kids—make daily baon something children look forward to.

Truly, Emborg has always been in the business of ensuring that moms offer the best for their kids—and what better way to celebrate mothers' amazing love for their children than by celebrating them in their most special day. On Mother's Day, May 13, Emborg moms gathered at the Glorietta 2 Activity Center for Emborg Amazing Mother's Day, a fun pampering afternoon for Emborg's most-loved
moms.

 

In the event, mothers were treated to an endless sampling of Emborg products as they were given mommy makeovers and massage services. A cupcake making workshop and the awarding of the Emborg Cook-Off also showed moms why Emborg is their most reliable cooking and baon-making buddy.

PROMIL® Four i-Shine® Talent Camp 6 holds Culminating Activities at the KIA Theatre

As parents, summertime is considered the perfect time for children to not only take a break from school work but also to engage in different activities to stay productive. As such, we are always on the lookout for summer workshops and talent camps, which can help our kids learn new skills and discover their talents.

According to Dr. Tippy Tanchanco, a developmental-behavioral pediatrician, talent camps unlock many opportunities for kids to explore and learn on their own, which is important in discovering their true gifts.

“Children give cues early on. They can be showing signs of what they’re naturally inclined to in just a few months of age. It could be music, motor skills, or language,” added Dr. Tanchanco. “There is no particular age for it, but we need to look for signs that your child is developmentally ready.”

She noted that if we want to hone a  child’s athletic abilities, then we have to ensure that he or she is physically fit and ready. The same goes for developing academic abilities. If children show signs of absorbing information, then they are prepared for activities that they can delve into.

Dr. Leticia Ho, president and founder of Philippine Center for Gifted Education, couldn’t agree more. She explained that every child is born with potentials but, they do not necessarily develop. They need to be exposed to intervening factors so that they can be developed and transformed into gifts.

These variables include proper nutrition, proper stimulation, and proper care. Jong Icasiano, BSFT. MSc, a food scientist and nutritionist, firmly believes that providing our child’s nutritional needs play an important role in nurturing one’s gift or talent.

“A proper diet serves as fuel for the child since it is needed for his or her body and brain to achieve optimum development. Other factors may include boosting their confidence, good hygiene, enough sleep, and giving them a venue to shine brightly and further explore their full potential,” Icasiano added.

This is where the PROMIL® Four i-Shine® Talent Camp 6 comes in. Now on its sixth season, it featured four intensive workshops, under the mentorship of experts in the field of arts, engineering, dance, and music, such as Teacher Robert Alejandro, Teacher Lei Sta. Maria, Maestro Ryan Cayabyab, and Teacher Georcelle Sy, respectively. These camps ran, simultaneously, from April 2 to May 3 in different locations in Metro Manila.

As its culminating activity, all the participants of the four camps showcased what they learned in a recital, held recently at the Kia Theater. It also gathered the parents, as well as the Camp Masters, who joined the kids in their performance.

Kids who joined the Dance Camp blazed the stage with a number with Teacher Georcelle and the G-Force. Maestro Ryan also sang and played musical instruments with the kids from the Music Camp.

The kids from the Arts and Engineering Camp, on the other hand, showcased a performance that highlighted their creativity and engineering skills with Teacher Robert and Teacher Lei.

“We are happy to see all the kids perform on stage. They really stood out and shined their brightest and I know that their parents are also very proud of them,” said Yvette Villegas, the brand manager of Promil® Four. “This what the PROMIL® Four i-Shine® Talent Camp 6 is all about—to help hone, share, and celebrate the gift of every child.”

Since its inception, the PROMIL® Four i-Shine® Talent Camp helped discover and nurture the young Filipinos’ gift in partnership with parents. It is initiated by PROMIL® Four, a milk brand, specially formulated for children above three years old. It is also the only brand that contains NUTRISSENTIALS®—the combination of the unique and important nutrients that help support mental and physical development to help Nurture the Gift, together with balanced diet and healthy lifestyle.
