COOLY: Complete Hands-Free Portable Fan

Knowledge Guide

Conventional portable fans in the market are not the best option for you. Some of them demand you to hold them until you get cramps. Some are useless in cooling you down and drying the sweat of your body.

Heat evaporation will be a great help when you need to cool down your body. This is why sweat is generated in the first place, but we need some help from devices to quickly feel the cooling effect of sweat. However, most of the portable fans in the market fail to blow the wind to the back or to the upper body, which can be the sweatiest area.

A portable fan that effectively targets the back without you having to hold it to the back rolled out on Kickstarter. If you suffer from sweat stains in the back frequently, this can solve your problem.

Let me introduce you, Cooly.

Cooly: The Complete Hands-free Portable Fan

Cooly is not like other portable fans that you need to hold by your hands or wear around your neck. It is a unique and innovative fan that has a fixation clip on it so that you can just fix it on your bottom’s waists or belts. Then the wind will blow inside your top, evaporating the heat and providing instant cooling. The second fixation clip on the top is to hold your shirt from being flipped and allow easy airflow.

Best Features of Cooly

1. It automatically targets your upper body

This point cannot be exaggerated and is what makes Cooly stand out from other portable fans. It is so convenient.

2. Durability

It utilizes a 4000mAh high-capacity lithium-polymer battery that is also used in cellphones or battery packs. When fully charged, it lasts up to 6.5 hours with low wind speed and 2.5 hours with high wind speed. (USB C Type charging) This will work best for outdoor activities.

3. 3-Level Wind Speed and low level of noise

You can adjust the wind speed in 3 levels. Each press of the power button will elevate Cooly’s wind speed. Each speed level generates a different noise decibel. Cooly’s technology succeeded in keeping the noise significantly low even with the highest wind speed. Check out the project page to see the specific noise level according to the wind speed.

Made for everyone: Safety Wing Structure

It has a safety wing structure that prevents your hair from getting caught in the fan. Cooly’s motors and wings are located deep inside so that the users can’t make any contact. Plus, its square shape does not have any sharpness. It is safe for anyone from kids to elders to use.

Color Options

Cooly’s design is very sleek and sophisticated. The background color options are white and black and there are more options for the point color of silver, rose gold, black, dark metal. It will also be a nice interior item.

Now on Kickstarter

Cooly is now available on Kickstarter with a special discount. Check out the project page for more information.

How to Bring Better Environment for Ugandan Kids

Knowledge Guide

It has been a rough year because of COVID 19 and the people in need must have suffered the most in this global pandemic era. I want to let you know by this article that, still there are many ways to share your heart before 2021 ends. Why don’t you listen to the stories about Ugandan kids’ long journey for the water?

3.7 Miles of Daily Water Journey

You must have heard that in some countries, accessibility to clean water is extremely low. Uganda is one of those countries. According to the UNICEF report, only 17% of Ugandan people can drink water from safely managed sources. Rest of the population must travel a long way only to get the water from the well and that include kids. What they use to transport the water along the way is the jerrycan, which were originally meant to store the military fuel during the second world war.

The problem is, the jerrycan which kids must bring is 10kg and with water, the weight of it goes up to 19.5kg. The fact that they carry it with their heads or hands without any equipment for 1.8 hours on average because they can’t afford a bag is heartbreaking not to mention how dangerous the unpaved roads with running cars can be. We can only imagine the heavy jerrycans’ effect on their back and spine at such a young age. Moreover, the longer time it takes to go get the water, the more times kids tend to miss school.

Jerrybag Can Help Them

For those of you who want to participate in something meaningful, I recommend this project that aims to provide better way to transport water. On Kickstarter launches a charitable campaign called ‘Jerrycan Water Bottle: Water for A Change.’ This project contributes to the world by making the economy for women in Uganda and safer journey for the water for Ugandan kids.

In this project you can donate one bag for the jerrycan, the Jerrybag, buying one one jerrycan inspired eco water bottle aka Jerrycan Water Bottle. Jerrybag is a headlight reflecting bag that is made exclusively to ease the pain of brutal water transportation journey for kids. It lights up to keep the kids safe from the running cars of the road and is made waterproof.

The smartest yet best part of this campaign is that does Jerrybags are made by the local Ugandan women within a design studio in Uganda’s capital city Kampala in 2014. They get paid for that. Surprisingly, this studio is established by Jerrybag campaign team. They have produced more than 13,000 Jerrybags for children younger than 10 with 16 Ugandan female employers through NGOs like World Vision, Childfund etc.

Jerrycan Water Bottle for Jerrybag

The reward of this project, the Jerrycan Water Bottle is not only a sign of your contribution to the world, but also a greatly useful water bottle. It is designed to let you mount your phone while working out or taking selfies so that it can provide satisfactory consumer experience. This is a great feature for gym lovers or yoga lovers. The jerrycan inspired design is unique and trendy too. The size of the jerrycan bottle is very compact. The smallest 400ml jerrycan can fit in your pocket.

Still, the best part of it is you will be reminded of the child you helped whenever you see this bottle.

You Can Be a Part of this Project on Kickstarter

This is a crowdfunding project that needs to gather helping hands little by little. I bet your Christmas will be more meaningful when you become a part of sharing love to the third world, reminding the spirit of Christmas. Find this project on Kickstarter by searching for the ‘Jerrycan Water Bottle.’

There are lots of settees and chairs that have been ergonomically designed to fully support your posture and put pressure on the correct areas as well as taking pressure away from other areas that cause pain.

Loud Speaker Phone

Not being able to hear clearly can be a very frustrating thing and this is especially troubling when you need to speak on the phone. Fortunately there are loud speaker telephones that you can buy which will play the telephone conversation over speakers around the home.

Uses of Sand in The Construction & Building Industries

Business DIY / Home Improvement Knowledge Guide

sand

Sand is often used as a contraction material within the building and construction industries. It’s usually supplied as back run sand, beach sand, white mason sand, utility sand, filtering sand, septic sand, fill sand (aka sand fill), concrete sand and mason sand. Here we’ll discuss and expand on each of these sand types and their specific uses within the construction and building industries.

Back Run Sand

This is type of sand can either be quite coarse or fine, and is usually used as concrete mix for either fence posts and patios. The colouring is usually a mixture between gold, beige or tan.

White Mason Sand

White mason sand is a specific type of mason sand that is used in specific applications such as mixing with mortar and concrete when laying bricks or white blocks. This sand is favoured for this application as it leaves a nice white mortar line between the bricks.

Mason Sand

Mason sand comes quite coarse, and like white mason sand it is primarily used to mix with concrete and mortar to lay bricks, blocks and stone. Unlike white mason sand, general mason sand comes in a variety of colours brown, white, beige, grey or tan.

Concrete Sand

Concrete sand is quite coarse as it is used for mixing with cement for larger applications. It is also often used in septic systems due to its coarse texture.

Fine Utility Sand

Fine utility sand is usually used as a back fill around utility piping. It is quite fine compared to most other sand we’ve discussed, making it the perfect option for placing around fragile underground pipes. Other applications include being used to back fill trenches and to fill sand bags.

Utility Sand

Utility sand is also quite fine and is primarily used for the exact same applications as fine utility sand.

Beach Sand

Beach sand comes in a variety of colours, ranging from beige, grey, brown and tan. This type of sand is often used when building patios or verandas, playgrounds, sandboxes and sometimes even creating fake beach settings.

Whether you are trying to add a little fresh life to your existing kitchen for daily use, are trying to increase your homes resale value, or just need more space to cook for more people there are plenty of affordable ways to revamp a kitchen. If it is your dream home, an investment property or even a vacation house, here are a few of our favorite ways to revamp a kitchen on a budget.

Paint the Cabinets
Cabinets make up the bulk of most kitchens, so adding a splash of paint to existing cabinets can really change the feel of your kitchen.

Affordable ways to revamp a kitchen
Another easy way to spruce up your kitchen without breaking the bank is to add new handles to your cabinets. Pick up  funky, modern, or retro cabinet handles and see how big a difference it really makes. It may seem minor but new handles can significantly change the look and feel of any kitchen making it one of the best affordable ways to revamp a kitchen.

Paint Walls
If you are already happy with the color of your cabinets or want to go the extra mile, consider painting your kitchen walls. Again, make sure you pick a kitchen durable paint but then go wild! Just like painting the cabinets, painting the walls can change the look and feeling of your kitchen dramatically and at a relatively low cost.

Change Chairs
Kitchen tables can get expensive but chairs can be done a lot cheaper. Picking up and sprucing up a set of used or vintage chairs or even buying a set from a mid-range retailer can really change the comfort and vibe of your kitchen while staying on a tight budget and compared to dining room sets, you usually don’t need too many as most kitchen tables seat under four and are fairly informal.

New Faucets
A new faucet can be a great selling point on a kitchen. It is one of the first appliances people look at when they enter the room. A bold, modern faucet can make a kitchen look a lot more expensive than it actually is. This is especially true with the latest high-tech hands free faucets which combine technology and style. A quality faucet is one of the best affordable ways to revamp a kitchen.

I hope these have been inspiration for your kitchen projects. Remember it doesn’t have to be pricey to look good, get creative and have fun revamping your tired kitchen into a modern masterpiece!

Run in Place
Don’t have a tread mill or space to run? While it may not be the most exciting or innovative work out, running in place is another excellent cardio work out. Put on your favorite tennis shoes and start running in place, get your knees up to maximize the calories burned.

Dancercise
More exciting than running in place, toss on your favorite tunes and go wild! Get your heart going and that rhythm flowing. When no one is around you probably already dance like no one is around, so just turn it up a notch and keep sweating. Remember if you are sweating it is working.

Sit Ups
The classic core work out, sit ups  are one of the simplest and  most effective exercises you can do anywhere. With just enough space to lie down, sit ups can help you get a firm toned stomach we all have wanted even when you aren’t near a gym.

Push Ups

Auto Industry Spotlight: Tesla Model III

Auto Business Knowledge Guide

Tesla Model 3

Tesla Model 3Details on the much talked about Tesla Model III are rolling in. After much anticipation some more information on this financially accessible electric vehicle from the legendary Tesla Motors. Here is a round up as part of our Auto Industry Spotlight: Tesla Model III.

On first look, the Tesla Model III is breathtaking. Tesla’s new all electric premium sedan features a streamlined smooth design with rounded corners everywhere and is breaking the mold by removing the cosmetic only grill seen in other Tesla models. The Tesla Model III debut model also sports big flashy wheels and a hot red color bound to get attention. They also showcased a more conservative sliver color.

Starting at $35,000, the Tesla Model III is the only electric vehicle in this class to provide this level of performance. It is decidedly fast (though predictably not quite as quick as its luxury older brothers) and boasts an EPA range of 215 miles. The company advertises a zero to sixty in under six seconds, which should make taking your kids to soccer practice a lot more fun. The relatively low cost is due to the company’s “Gigafactory,” a massive factory located in Nevada that will be pumping out more lithium ion batteries than ever factory in the world combined. A major factor in the cost of quality electric vehicles has always been tied to the high cost of lithium ion batteries.

As the Tesla Model III is designed to be an everyday consumer sedan, it is also putting safety first. Tesla promises the Model III will attain the highest safety rating in every category. This is a big promise and if Tesla can deliver it could really shake up the mid-range sedan market. It can also comfortably sit five passengers and appears to be a lot more fun than your average mini-van. The company has not disclosed too many details about their “autopilot hardware” (guesses are it could be similar to Google’s highly publicized self-driving car) though we could be getting a lot closer to a self driving car, though given how much fun this things looks like to drive, this could be a potential downside!

Conclusion

So whether you are interested in a Tesla Model III for the environmental benefits, the costs of fuel saving, the novelty, the speed, the design, or the safety benefits; you are likely pretty happy right now. For your sake and that of Tesla Motors, hopefully your excitement will continue because the Tesla Model III will not be available until some time in 2017. To keep you interested Tesla is letting you reserve one for only $1,000 in cash now. So keep your fingers crossed, your wallets ready, and your foot on the gas… or should we say battery?
