How Hypnosis Can Help You to Boost Your Confidence

IMGP1048How Hypnosis Can Help You to Boost Your Confidence

Self-confidence is something millions of people across the world struggle with today, even if they cannot yet admit it to others or themselves, never the less more and more people are seeking to improve their levels of confidence - this is because confidence is the key to success in so many areas, and can help you in so many ways, socially and professionally.
Without appropriate levels of self-regard and confidence people are living a much more limited type of life than most others. Confidence issues come in many forms including fears such as fear of rejection or fear of public speaking and even day to day events such as when dating or in interviews. What many people don't know is how easily these fears can be overcome and how simple it is to boost your confidence.
Hypnosis has been used by people for years and is now proven to be not only highly effective but a valid form of therapy.
Previously there have conflicting opinions on the strength of hypnosis as a form of development, but more and move over the last few decades the art has been redefined and now scientific studies fully stand behind hypnosis and its ability to improve lives, help mental conditions, cure phobias, of course improve confidence, and much much more.
Hypnosis has been around years and can be seen as a part of healing from ancient times. Historical records and ruins show that the use of therapeutic suggestion was a central feature of the early Greek healing temples, and variations of these systems were used all over the ancient world. Now though it truly has moved out of the dark ages, and even through the years as a comedy piece or light hearted stage entertainment, and is now recognized as the real, beneficial form of personal development therapy that it really is.
Hypnosis has become more and more widely used in our modern day society because it does not involve drugs, has no serious side-effects and is cheap and simple to use.
Hypnosis works to improve your confidence by targeting you inner mind - to help to eliminate the sorts of patterns of thinking which are holding you back. Gradually it destroys these limiting beliefs and replaces them with positive ones instead.
The result being that you become more and more confident - one day at a time, but most importantly, because it is gradual, it is also real and lasting change.

How to Study For the GRE Test (Graduate Record Examination)

GRE (company) How to Study For the GRE Test (Graduate Record Examination)

The GRE test proves to be a very important test, but do not sweat it just yet. There are ways of which you can go about it successfully. Below is a list of suggestions on how to study for the GRE test.
1. Familiarize yourself with the GRE test prior to the day you have to take it. By familiarizing yourself with the test, you will have an idea of what to expect. By obtaining the knowledge of what to expect, you will have a smoother ride throughout the test. If you do not know what to expect then it will be easier for you to become flustered during the test, thus making the test more difficult than it has to be.
2. Allow yourself an adequate amount of prep time for the GRE test. By being well prepared, you will be more inclined to receive a better GRE score on the test. Spend as much time preparing for the test as you possibly can. As little as three to four months or as much as a year should be plenty of time for you to well prepare yourself.
3. Set a goal to receive the GRE score you wish to obtain. Setting goals is the prelude to an accomplishment. By setting a score goal for yourself, you will give yourself an idea of how much preparation and study time you will need so that you can achieve the score. Goals give you something particular to work toward.
4. Steer clear of distractions when studying for the GRE test. Distractions are, well, distracting. When studying for the GRE test, you want to focus solely on the content of which you are studying. Try to refrain from any and all distractions, such as television, music (unless listening to music helps you study), cell phones, etcetera.
5. Study a variety of texts. Studying more than one text will cover more of the test overall. This can definitely help you to better prepare yourself. Some text suggestions are Kaplan, Princeton Review, Barrons, Big Book, and Power Prep.
6. Vigorously practice the GRE test before taking the actual test. As the saying goes, "practice makes perfect". Think of it as a sport. In sports, players have to practice regularly so that they can become better and better at their sport. The same goes for the GRE test. The more you practice, the more likelihood that you will receive the GRE score that you would like to will increase.
7. Concentrate primarily on the sections of the GRE test of which you believe you will struggle in. The test is divided mainly into four separate sections: analytical writing, research, quantitative, and verbal. Only you yourself can truly know what areas you excel in and what areas of which you may need more assistance in. Study the test as a whole, but spend a bit more time on the areas of which you are not so great in.
8. Be aware of how much time you are allotted for each portion of the test. Once you have studied the test content for awhile, begin taking practice tests. When taking these practice tests, time yourself in tandem with the time limitations for the actual test. By doing this, you will acquire an idea of how to pace yourself during the test.

Top 7 Tips for All Medical Transcriptionists, New and Experienced

A medical transcriptionist working in a medica...Top 7 Tips for All Medical Transcriptionists, New and Experienced

1. Find the best resources (word books, best medical transcription practices, drug books, cheat sheets, the list goes on). These will make or break your job as a medical transcriptionist. The experts say you are only as good as your resources. I really believe that is true. You have to know where to go to get the answer to any question you have, and the quicker the better. One suggestion would be to jot down anything you want to find out later that you don't have time to look up as you're transcribing. You want to research those things on a daily basis. Don't let a list grow and grow. That will only cause frustration each time you come to that question. If you can't find it in your resource information, find a mentor or a co-worker that will help you with questions you don't have answers to.
2. Use autocorrects or expanders. These are a must. When you transcribe for a living, every keystroke that you save adds to increased productivity which in turn means more money in your paycheck. It also helps with the wear-and-tear on your fingers and wrists. The autocorrects you can use are endless. You may think you don't have time to stop and add them, but in the long run it is going to save you just that; time. A medical transcriptionist should only be looking up something once. For instance, if you look up a drug spelling or whether it is capitalized or not, that should be the only time you look it up. Add it right then to your autocorrects for the next time you'll need it. I put in many shortcuts such as year-old (1yo, 2yo, etc.) and month-old (1mo, 2mo, etc.) that save me keystrokes on a day-to-day basis. The key here is for the autocorrects to make sense to you so you remember them.
3. Use cheat sheets. A medical transcriptionist cannot work without them. The number of cheat sheets you use will depend on the different specialties you type for. There are many of your fellow medical transcriptionists that will share their cheat sheets if you just ask them. You can also ask the MTs you work with to develop one with you since you are all typing for the same providers. Together you can figure out certain phrases or words that a doctor is using and get them on the sheet for future use. How many times do you see something typed that isn't actually what the doctor dictated? (... A little research would eliminate that and putting something that is "close" to what they are dictating is really a disservice. Another way to flag something that you have looked up before in a reference book is by tagging it or highlighting it. )
4. Receive monthly information on what's new with medical transcription. Find a place that has a monthly newsletter where they provide you with the newest information pertaining to drugs, medical terminology, changes in rules for medical transcription, etc. It is your responsibility to keep up on all of this. I have found that our community really wants to help each other. You will be able to help others when you gain more experience and return the favor. You may want to get on an e-mail list of medical transcriptionists where they pass around information that helps each other. These are excellent ways to stay in touch with what is going on out there in the world of medical transcription.
5. Get resume help. Find a service or a person who can help you with your resume. It is not that you should be jumping from job to job but if the time comes when you need to apply for another position, you should always have a current resume on hand. A good resume is critical. Things have changed over the years as far as what they look for on a resume. There are many do's and don'ts that you need to be aware of to even have your resume considered on the first go-round. There are so many other candidates today that you are competing with. One tip that I can share is that you need to have your resume on one page if at all possible.
6. Find the best document samples. Document samples are the key to helping you in your day-to-day work. There are times when you can type without a sample, but there are more times when you will want a sample. Get a sample of what is in a physical examination and a review of systems. Get a sample of any of the procedures or surgeries that you type. How many times have you wondered if something went under musculoskeletal or extremities, cardiovascular or respiratory? Does this sound familiar? Get the information before you need it.
7. Last but not least, ergonomics. You must be comfortable when you are sitting at a computer and transcribing most of the day. Do not be afraid to get up and move around when you feel the need. This will be doing yourself and your employer a favor. You must take care of your body. It will keep you working longer and healthier. Make sure you take your breaks and lunch. It is a fact that you actually type faster and more accurately when you take your breaks and lunch on a daily basis. Make sure that you have the right chair and that your posture is correct for typing. It is critical to have the screen at the right level. You should have checked all of these things out when you first set up your office space, but if you did not make sure you do it now.

The first thing to do before proceeding with USMLE is to collect information regarding admission details, eligibility requirements and such other information from USMLE and Educational Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates(ECFMG)'s websites.
Once you have collected information from organizations like USMLE and ECFMG, the next step will be to find out relevant study materials like books, coaching institutes, which are offering excellent coaching and guidance through online, class room based or home study method. You will also have to find out which are the institutes offering Residency programs as per your credentials and is there any possibility of getting externship facility and letters of recommendations.
It is not that easy to get into the Residency Program, especially for the IMGs, because of limited availability of seats for IMGs. One has to go through various hurdles like passing the Step 1, Step 2 Clinical Knowledge (CK) and Step 2 Clinical Skills (CS) for Residency Match and finally the Step 3 in order to get a license to practice medicine in U.S.A.
On an average about 37000 candidates participate in the exam annually for about 25000 Residency positions, of this about 8000 are IMGs. Approximately 75% of the available seats are cornered by US Seniors and a small portion by the U.S. resident IMGs. Out of about 8000 plus IMGs appearing for the exam, only 40-42% of them get selected for the Residency.
That means there is fierce competition for available seats and only the very best and those who have excellent communication, clinical and patient management skills get through to the USMLE Residency Program.

Weight Loss Diet - 6 Powerful Weight Loss Diet Tips

Marine of the United States Marine Corps runs ...Everyone knows that most people would like to lose weight, but most don't seem to know the best way to lose weight. To start seeing differences, you have to make some changes in your habit and lifestyle.
Let me share a few very vital weight loss statistics Before I start:
- 64 percent of people in the United States are overweight - Obesity is responsible for 325,000 deaths every year. Alright as you can see Weight Management is a huge Problem in the United States, So we are constantly searching for that miracle drug to help us with weight loss diet.
You may not want to hear, it but it's true - there is no magic spell when it comes to losing weight. However, there are some things that you can do in order to lose fat as quickly as possible.
Here are Six great weight loss tips:
If you favour the traditional route of diet and exercise, then the following tips given below should work greatly to help with weight lose diet:-
1. Eliminate Eating Junk Food.
Most of your efforts to reduce your weight will be unsuccessful of you are unable resist eating junk and processed foods. These primarily consist of fast foods and snack foods such as burgers, pizza, fries, potato chips etc. All of these foods offer very poor nutritional value and it consequently makes no sense at all to carry on eating them. Keep in mind - you will not be able to physically improve on an insufficient diet. You must look carefully at the contents of your cupboard, fridge and freezer and make certain that you switch all sugary and greasy foods with nourishing, healthy alternatives.
2. Drink a Lot of Water- Although you may have heard it over and over again, it is really true. Drinking water not only replenishes your system but also promotes weight loss. How is that possible? Well, as we all know, water is a fluid that directly passes your colon, so drinking water can flush away those toxins and unwanted fats. Drink at least 8 glasses a day for best results.
Water is essential to life and a healthy body. Dehydration will wreak havoc on you and your fitness goals. If you are dehydrated your body cannot function at its optimal level. For example, your muscles will loose strength, you won't burn fat as quickly, and you'll feel tired and fatigued.
3. Reduce the Size of Your Portions-
You should eat five or six small portions each day at regular intervals of about 4 - 5 hours. This will aid appetite suppression and boost your rate of metabolism, causing you to burn additional fat without the need for too much physical effort.
4. Lower Your Calorie Consumption Without Deprivation. Do this by steadily reducing the amount of calories that you get through by a small quantity each day. This will tot up very quickly, but be aware that you will not start to lose weight until you reach the point at which you are expending a more calories than you eat each day. This incremental approach will help to cut down snacking and binging, which would clearly put you straight back where you began.
5. You Want to Start Exercising Regularly-
This doesn't need to be anything excessive, but simply put: working out is almost certainly the most effective way to lose weight and enhance your general heath. Diets by themselves may assist you with losing some weight, but they are not able to improve your stamina, physical fitness, flexibility, mental state and help you achieve numerous other benefits in the way that regular exercise can.
Additionally, exercise is another technique to increase your metabolism, which, once more, helps you to burn off additional fat in less time.
6. Sleep Well- Practice a Good Night Sleep
Sleeping is a favorite quick weight loss tip since it is one of the most effortless. Do not understand the power of having enough sleep. It is vital to your overall weight loss plan. Medical research has proven that sleep deprivation would induce hunger, and improve appetite. This often results in excessive eating. Likewise, having sufficient sleep of at least 8 hours helps to bring a balance to the leptin level and aids weight loss.
There you have the Building block to A Permanent Weight Loss.
There are many ways in which an individual can choose to lose weight. The problem is that diet, and exercise alone for some people still isn't enough, and may leave them struggling to reach their weight loss goals. For many people changing their diet, exercising, and taking nutritional supplements or weight loss products in combination can be the perfect answer to lose weight.
One such supplement is acai for weight loss. Acai is a form of berry that is found in the Amazon, and holds tremendous antioxidant properties. It is also used to increase energy levels, and to improve digestive health. Acai can also help to prevent free radical damage, and diseases like cancer, heart disease, and premature aging. It's the combination of all of these benefits that make acai for weight loss a great option for individuals who need extra assistance.

Government Jobs in Seismology and Earthquake Engineering in India

PK Kelkar Library, IIT Kanpur, designed by Ach...Image via Wikipedia
Seismology is a term derived from the Greek term seismos, which means earthquake and the logy in the term indicates science. Therefore, Seismology is a scientific study of earthquakes and the movement of waves through the earth. The field also includes study of variants like plate tectonics, volcanoes, seaquakes in general and consequential phenomena like tsunami. An earthquake occurs due to the sudden and sometimes violent movement of the surface of earth caused by release of energy in the crust of the earth.

Earthquakes produce different types of seismic waves and these are waves of energy caused due to sudden breaking of rock within the earth or an explosion.
Role of Seismologist and Earthquake Engineers:
As most of us know, earthquake is a natural event that sometimes produces great harm to the community and mankind. Therefore, to protect mankind from this natural disaster, the role of seismologist and earthquake engineers are highly needed. The earthquake engineers are responsible for ensuring that new structures have the proper degree of resistance to earthquake hazards of their environment. Earth quake engineers unite with seismologists in estimating the frequency and size of earthquakes in different parts of the world. Nowadays, with the increasing incidents of earthquake not only India, but also other countries have realized the importance of earthquake engineers and seismologists for effectively protecting their masses from the effects of earthquake and related problems.
How to become a seismologist?
In India, only a few universities offer UG degree in geophysics of which seismology forms a part. Since seismology is a field of applied science, most institutions prefer the students to have solid UG training in more basic disciplines particularly in physics or mathematics. since seismologist will have to deal with computers, a candidate should possess computer knowledge to become a seismologist. To become a seismologist, candidates must have completed their Master of Science in Geophysics and before beginning with industrial career in seismology, they will have to acquire one or two-year advanced specialized study in seismology.
Institutes offering Seismology and Earthquake Engineering course in India:
Indian Institute of Technology, Roorkee
Indian Institute of Technology, Karagpur
IIT, Kanpur
Banaras Hindu University
Wadia Institute of Hinalayan Geology
Osmania University
Andhra University
Government jobs in Seismology and Earthquake engineering:
When it comes to government jobs in this field, candidates can look for job IITs and they can also find job placement in research organization engaged functioning under the government.
