Vacation and Travel Digital Photography Tips

Who doesnt take pictures while on vacation? We want pictures of family and friends and we want to capture the flavor of the landscape we are in. Some are interested in the architecture; some are interested in the flora and fauna. Whatever youre interested in you can organize your pictures to really communicate what it was you were seeing at the time. A good way to organize your pictures is to categorize them. If you take a look at pictures of past vacations youll see an album of everything you saw on that trip. While that is ok, you may find that when someone is looking at them that you are sitting there explaining every picture. After all, you want others to experience some of the flavor and excitement you experienced on your trip. This is where some good organization comes in. It takes a bit of time but is well worth the effort. When you have your pictures back, separate them into categories such as, all your pictures of gardens and flowers, pictures of family and friends or your favorite sunsets or interesting architecture you took. Buy albums that suit the categories they are in. Make a little caption and date of each picture and insert into the correct album. Doing it this way makes it easier to look at and becomes self explanatory. Whether you have visited a particular place or several places, categories with captions make it a lot easier. (How many times have you looked at photographs of past vacations and wondered for a second where this picture was taken?) Here is an example of a fascinating category; My husband used to work for a phone company that installed phones in jails. He took a picture of every jail up and down the east coast. This made for some of the most fascinating albums we have. The architecture of some of these buildings was spectacular ranging from very modern to castle like in nature. It never fails to create interest and conversation and its all in the same album, there is no question about what kind of buildings they are. Whether you are a seasoned traveler or not and love sunrises and sunsets, you can create an album just for that. Labels and dates complete the picture. The beauty of theme albums is you can continue to add to them over the years. They are beautiful and easily understood by all. There are so many categories you can think of. The only limit is your imagination. Theme albums are very organized and easily understood and are great conversation pieces! Give it a try!

Top Destination Ideas And Travel Tips For Visiting Russia

When you're planning our vacation destinations, you immediately think of the sunny beaches of the Bahamas or traveling across the safari of Africa. No one ever thinks of Russia or its beautiful, capitol city of Moscow when they are making their vacation plans. You know what? They're missing out. Tourists, foreigners, and Russians themselves all flock to Moscow to see what makes this city pulse. We think of old stereotypes when we talk about Russia. We remember the old communist regime they used to be or the hockey powerhouse they are. Nowadays, Moscow is a busy and fast-paced city with over 11 million people living in it, but it is also steady and reliable with its cultural and historic relics that are still a fundamental part of the Russian consciousness. We sometimes forget how rich in history and culture Moscow actually is. There are countless works of centuries old art. Russia is rich in music and dance tradition, The Nutcracker for example. Here are some of the top places you need to see if you get the chance to visit Moscow.

• The Kremlin - The Moscow Kremlin is Moscow's most famous attraction and a must-see for all visitors. It is the most recognized building in all of Russia. Once inside, you can visit the historic cathedrals of Cathedral Square, where all of the old czars once worshiped. The Tsar Bell and Tsar Cannon, two immobile monuments to the grandeur of Russia's past, are also on display for you to see. The Amory Museum holds precious relics, like gold carriages and royal garments, of old Imperial stature.
• Red Square - Just outside the Kremlin is Moscow's famous Red Square. You can witness the changing of the guard at the Eternal Flame. You can even visit Lenin's Tomb which is more famous than impressive. If get the chance to see St. Basil's Cathedral, do it. It is just as beautiful on the inside as it is the outside.
• State Tretyakov Gallery --Filled with monuments and portraits of revered Russian leaders like Catherine the Great, the State Tretrakov Gallery has the best and most extensive collection of Russian art. Open a book or take a class on Russian art and you'll find all of those the significant pieces will be hanging in the Tretyakov.
• Izmaylovo Market - This is the central souvenir market of Moscow, and s where you can buy all things Russian. You can choose from folk crafts, antiques, jewelry, chess sets, or anything else you want to bring home with you.
• Old Arbat Street - Moscow's most famous thoroughfare, Old Arbat Street, is a tourist's dream. You'll find some all kinds of souvenirs here ranging to the usual to the one of a kind. Artists, street musicians, and performers will be fighting for your attention. The street is for pedestrians only, which means it's great for people watching and not traffic watching.
• Victory Park - Victory Park in Moscow memorializes their Great Patriotic War, or also known as World War II to us. World War II took a huge toll in human life to Russia. It's easy to find WWII memorials across Russia's landscape, but Victory Park is Moscow's home for these monuments, sculptures, fountains, and obelisks.
• Sparrow Hills -- There is no where else in all of Russia to get a view like the one from Sparrow Hills. Standing at this vantage point allows you to look at the entire expanse of the city. It seems like it was heavenly made for photographs, sweet romantic moments, or simply jotting down your thoughts for aspiring authors.
• GUM - The GUM is Moscow's most famous shopping center. The facade that faces into Red Square has maintained the same appearance since the 19th century. You can find a variety of different shops selling everything and anything you may want.

Terrorist Protection and Travel Security Measures

*Taken from the syllabus of The Law Enforcement & Bodyguard Association International LEBAI, special thanks to former Police Commissioner Norman E. Jennings The aim of this lesson is to give you an introduction into Travel Security and the need to understand the importance of Travel Security and the role of security while in transit The reason you need this information is for you to have an understanding as to correct security procedure while travelling in transit All security personnel must understand and practice the basic rules of individual protection, as you may become the potential victim of a criminal or terrorist organisation or group. To the extent possible, security operating in personnel in threat areas must avoid routine in the routes and times of movements to and from the work site, your place of residence, and around town (i.e. shopping) even to the point of not eating at the same restaurants on a regular basis. Do not become a creature of habit. Past incidents indicate that terrorists kept their victim under surveillance for a substantial period of time to discover patterns and to determine a suitable time(s) and place(s) for the attack. You are vulnerable when on the move and probably most vulnerable walking to and from the car. Terrorists will most likely choose a time you are inside your automobile. You are fixed - and he may attack in a variety of ways. Make sure the unvaried portions of the route (choke points) are as short as possible. Memorise normal activity. This includes memorising cars that normally park in the area. You can be approximately 80% certain that any attack will occur in a choke point and probably near your home during a routine trip. It is important to remember that you are a better target if you are predictable - the best defence is common sense. Dr. Mark D. Yates at www.asecurityonestopshop.com teaches the following security measures on his security training programmes. 1. If possible, use different doors and gates when departing and entering your home or office. 2 . When going out, avoid going alone. Try to travel with a group of people. If your SSM or Senior Guard has a two-man rule in place, obey it - there is safety in numbers. 3. Conduct a route survey and look at the choke points from the terrorists point of view. 4 . Be aware of your location at all times, even if you are a passenger in a car. 5 . Know the location of police, hospital, military, government and public facilities or other secured areas along your routine routes. These areas can provide a safe haven in case of trouble. Know as much as possible about the stores and merchants along your normal route of travel. Are there pro or anti U.S. sentiments displayed by flags, colours, or slogans painted on the buildings. 6 . In so-far as possible, travel only on busy, well travelled thoroughfares; stay away from isolated back-country roads. You will be advised during your in-country brief by the OIC of dangerous areas, pay heed and avoid them. 7. Be constantly alert to road conditions and surroundings, to include possible surveillance by car, motorcycle, or bicycle. All passengers should be vigilant. If you feel you are being followed or are in danger, drive to the nearest military installation, Police Station or Embassy. Keep the vehicle in the centre of the road to have room to manoeuvre in case of an attack. On multiple lane roads, never drive in the centre lane. 8 . Try to get around road obstructions, utilise a shoulder or ditch. Attempt to crash through a vehicle blockade, if necessary, striking the blocking vehicle a glancing blow, no more than one quarter of the way down its length, preferably at the rear wheels. Keep your vehicle moving at all costs, regardless of its condition: for example, flat tire, disabled cooling system, etc. 9. Be alert for, and give wide berth to, cars or trucks parked along the road, particularly if there are several people around them. 10. Maintain adequate distances between your car and vehicles preceding you. Avoid being blocked in. 11. Never exit the vehicle without checking the area for suspicious individuals. If you are in doubt, drive away. 12. At night, always try to park in a well lit area, of f the street, if possible. 13. Lock the duty vehicle when it is unattended. 14. Parcels and other things should not be left in the car so that strange objects can be spotted quickly. 15. Before entering the duty vehicle, ascertain that there are no suspicious objects or unexplained wires or strings outside, underneath or inside. 16. If you find suspicious wires or packages in the vehicle, do not touch them, report them immediately to the proper authority as outlined in your post guard orders. DO NOT TOUCH THE OBJECT, immediately call for assistance. 17. Keep vehicle in a high state of maintenance at all times. It can be a good weapon if used properly. Vehicles should have: outside rear view mirrors, a locking gas cap, inside hood lock, fire extinguisher, first aid kit, semi metallic disc brake pads, heavy duty shocks, premium radial tires with the maximum tire pressure as printed on the tire side wall, and a vehicle alarm system. Always keep the trunk locked. The gasoline tank should be at least half full at all times. Tinted windows make it difficult for someone to tell who is in the car and where they are sitting. 18. If your vehicle has to be left for any length of time, it should be searched before being used again. Whenever possible have the driver stay with the vehicle to observe it. 19. A full search procedure by the driver should include: Looking Carefully Around The Outside Of The Vehicle. Looking Through All The Windows. Checking Around And Behind Each Wheel. Taking Off The Hubcaps. Looking Underneath The Car (Particularly The Exhaust And Behind The Gas Tank) -. Using An Angled Mirror On A Stick If Available Opening The Drivers Door. Checking All Doors Before Opening Them, Seats And Floor Opening And Inspecting The Car Trunk. Examining The Spare Wheel. Checking All Tools. Opening Hood Carefully And Examining The Engine Compartment. During the residential training lessons provided by Dr. Mark D. Yates he suggests your suspicions should be aroused by: Unusual Objects. Objects Out Of Place. Outward Signs Of Tampering. Loose Wiring, String, Or Tape. Packages Left Under The Vehicle. Ground Disturbed Around The Vehicle. 20. Do not leave your vehicle on the street overnight if at all possible and never leave garage doors unlocked. Check garage doors for unknown objects or strings tied to door. DO NOT touch anything that looks strange to you. 21. Never pick up hitchhikers or stop to assist unknown persons in distress. Terrorists have frequently utilised these situations as a trap prior to assault. 22. During travel, always fasten seat belts, keep doors locked and windows closed. 23. Do not permit taxi drivers to deviate from known and desired routes. Do not always use the same taxi or bus stop. Do not take the first available cab. 24. Be sensitive to the possibility of surveillance. Before departing anywhere, check up and down the street for suspicious cars or individuals. 25. Try to note whether you are being followed. If you suspect so, promptly notify your Senior Guard so the incident can be documented. 26. Avoid civil disturbances and disputes with local citizens. If a dispute occurs, distance yourself with it as quickly as possible. 27. Do not unnecessarily divulge your home address, telephone number or any information about your fellow EPOS. 28. Ensure that your Senior Guard provides you with a list of key phrases in the host country language: I need a policeman; take me to a doctor; where is the hospital; take me to the embassy; help. 29. Learn to use host country telephones. 30. Learn emergency telephone numbers: Embassy; Senior Guard Residence; you should always carry the exact change needed. 31. All mail should be received through the Approved channels. 32. Never accept unsolicited packages. 33. In most cases the VIP will secure some sort of host country identification document to be carried by you at all times, your blood type and allergies to particular medication should be kept with this document and should be bilingual: English and the language of the host country. 34. Identification by belief of importance, not only by the individual, but also from the terrorists point of view, can cause you to become a target. 35. All duty rosters should be destroyed, not thrown away when they become obsolete. 36. The best way to keep from being identified and selected as a target is not to say, do, wear, use, or display anything that will help the terrorists identify you as a Foreigner. 37. If you intend to hire domestic help, do so through the Community Liaison Office or (CLO). 38. Do not attract attention to yourself. Keep a low profile. Try to blend in as much as possible. The measures listed above are not intended to be a complete or a definite list of individual protective measures. You should be able to think of many more. The bottom line here is DO THINK, and always exercise common sense. SURVEILLANCE It is a known fact to security specialists that terrorist groups and organised crime groups implement surveillance techniques when choosing a target/s. Dr. Mark D. Yates runs both surveillance and counter surveillance training programmes specifically aligned to countering terrorist attacks and kidnap for ransom incidents. Mark Yates advises all travellers to purchase a kidnap for ransom insurance policy from www.asecurityonestopshop.co.uk prior to leaving your Country of residence. Your best chance of avoiding a serious terrorist incident is to spot pre-attack surveillance. The surveillance team may not be as professional as the gun team; several mistakes are now common knowledge by prior surveillance teams. The most common area for mistakes that could be noticed by the victim is at the surveillance pick up point. This is where they first begin to follow. The mistake made is correlation. Their movement or actions can be correlated to your movement or actions. The surveillance team is usually too intent on not losing sight of you to realise they are attracting your attention. For instance, as you leave the driveway, you note to the front or rear another car starting to move as you do. The car should be watched carefully. Do not let on that you are suspicious. You can test the suspect vehicle to confirm surveillance. As you depart from home or work, be aware of activity around you. Notice anything that seems suspicious or that may indicate correlation. Watching for signs of surveillance or attack should be continuous. If, for instance, there is a vehicle behind you in traffic and you notice that is has been there for quite some time, you should make note of the number of people in the car along with their approximate ages. The vehicle may not be anything out of the ordinary. A terrorist would not likely use an eye-catching vehicle. You must get the vehicle to make another statement. This can be as simple as speeding up just slightly, slowing down, or changing lanes. If the following vehicle does the same, then you have one more piece of information. If the vehicle has not used several opportunities to pass, but suddenly moves out as if to pass, you should be ready. Take note of the traffic and figure which technique you would use. Watch for the placement of the other vehicles occupants, and if the windows are down on the side next to you. If the day is cool or it is raining, this is a very valuable tip. If the vehicle does not complete the pass in the same speed as used in beginning the pass, be ready. Dont let it stay in your blind spot. Turn and look over your left shoulder. If attacked, or you see weapons, act quickly. The vehicle in front of you can also conduct surveillance. You can test this vehicle in the same manner as a following vehicle with some additions. Surveillance is normally conducted by the person in the right front seat. The driver cannot glance very often in the rear view mirror without, you becoming suspicious. They know this, so the person in the right front seat does the looking by using the outside right mirror. If you follow a normal vehicle you will not see a face in the out side right mirror as you do in the outside left. If you do see someones face in the right mirror, it is the face of the passenger, meaning the mirror has been adjusted for that persons use rather than for the driver. At that point you should make the other tests to confirm surveillance, such as changing lanes or speed. You can also easily note correlation by watching the turn signals of the car in front. If you make an unscheduled turn and wait later than normal to activate the turn signal, you will see possible correlations. Do not wait so late that they become suspicious of you. If you believe you are being followed, you should consider the following actions: Do not reveal to those following that you suspect them. if you do not have radio communications, notify authorities as soon as you arrive at your destination. If you have communications in the vehicle, notify authorities that you are under surveillance. Give your location, the direction of travel, identifying data of suspected surveillant(s) and your intentions. Dr. Mark D. Yates advises that you never stop or take other actions to force a confrontation. Immediately determine any identifying data that you can observe unobtrusively; for example, make, colour of car, licence number, number of occupants, description of occupants, etc. Normally, existence of surveillance means you are not in danger of being attacked. Consider deviating your route slightly in an apparent normal manner in order to verify that you are being followed. Do not warn the surveillant(s) that you are aware of their presence. Terrorists usually conduct extensive surveillance prior to an attack in order to establish your routine and evaluate your security consciousness. As a rule, surveillance teams are neither trained for, nor have the mission to, assault the potential target. If you feel you are in danger, immediately drive to the nearest safe area. Do not drive to your home. Be alert for slow-moving motorcycles or bicycles as these could be attempts to slow your car. Drive around them at the first opportunity. Report all suspected surveillances immediately to the appropriate security office. A great value for money security purchase is the Dr. Mark D. Yates home study programme on close VIP protection and/or the home study course on anti terrorist driving skills. Both of these written training programmes contain extensive security counter measure information and are available from www.asecurityonestopshop.co.uk Remember, your goal is to avoid an incident. If you can spot the surveillance, you have an opportunity to feed false information to your attackers. You have an audience, play to them! Show them changes in routine that make an attack very difficult to plan. They will probably go to some other victim since they normally watch several potential victims at the same time; finally picking the one where success is guaranteed.

Stress and Travel - How to Lower Your Stress With a Few Simple Changes In Attitude and Action

Traveling can be stressful. But it doesn't have to be. At least not nearly as much as it often turns out to be. Read on for a few things you can do to reduce your travel stress.Part of what causes stress during traveling is that there are so many things we don't have control over. And then, there are some things we can control but some of us are challenged to control them properly.Let's look at the things we can't control though, and what aspects we have control over anyway. It's surprising how much control we actually have even when it seems like we have none.We don't have control over the plane. Nor can we usually control our seat neighbors unless we're traveling with them. We don't know for sure when the plane will arrive, whether there will be turbulence, and what if any food there will be.And then, there are other things we can't control. We have to subject ourselves to the security measures -- for our own good, of course, and the good of all. And we may or may not get our luggage when we arrive. Heck, the plane may not even leave. Ever been on a cancelled flight?What to do? Getting upset is not usually very helpful. So just do what you can to reduce the hassle factor of all those things you can't control.I was stranded in Chicago last summer, and got completely derailed because I couldn't buy the things I needed for a good night's sleep. I learned my lesson. From then on, I've always made sure to put those things into my carry-on luggage. Sure, it may still be a bit of a pain, but if it's the airline's fault, they do usually pay for the hotel, so it's a matter of rolling with the punches.What about not getting your luggage? Same thing. Don't put stuff in your luggage that you will need right upon arrival. Years ago, I put my keys in my suitcase! Fortunately, the suitcase arrived when I did. But the anxiety I suffered on the plane -- what if it doesn't? -- taught me an important lesson.And about those security measures? Most frequent travelers have learned to wear shoes they can pull off and on quickly. And they have their luggage prepared for screening, so it causes minimum delays and hassles.And the food? Bring a stash of your own. Use it instead of or as a supplement to what's being served on the plane.And lastly, just be grateful that planes even exist. And work as well as they do. And almost always arrive at their destination without a hitch. If you do all of the above, and take control of the things that are yours to control, you'll have a much better and less stressful trip.

Staying Fit While on the Road and Traveling

One of the biggest challenges with travel, outside of finding your luggage and your way around the airport, is maintaining your healthy lifestyle.However, with some creative ways, you can still take care of yourself while traveling, regardless if it's for business or pleasure!This past year, I had the pleasure of coaching employees of a large corporation.This was a new niche for me; not my typical client. A glimpse into corporate life showed me that individuals working for corporate America face a wide range of challenges quite different than those of us who are in business for ourselves.One of those challenges is sticking with healthy habits while traveling for business. When you need to be on the road two, three or even four times a month, sticking to a regular routine is not the norm.This month I am finding that I will be getting a taste of a lifestyle that involves business travel.I will be on the road twice this month, and neither is for a vacation or fitness conference.So, this has me thinking about how to incorporate some of the strategies my corporate clients and I brainstormed during our work together.I hope some of these tips will help you stay fit on the road, regardless of your reasons for travel.Happy trails!Tips to Stay Fit While Traveling Whenever possible, book a hotel with a fitness facility.No doubt about it, convenience is key to fitting in fitness.When you are only an elevator ride away from the gym, the chances that you'll use it increase.Check meeting schedules and appointments, and plan your workout time in advance. Wear your sneakers while traveling.Airports and train stations always include long corridors and long waits.Use them to include brisk walking.Avoid moving walkways, and take stairs rather than escalators.Make sure your carry-on is on wheels so that it won't hinder your movement. If driving, take a break every 90-120 minutes, and walk around the parking lot of a rest stop. If your travels include long layovers in the airport, find out if there is an airport fitness facility.Most large airports in major cities have areas to work out and shower.Some even have spa amenities such as massages or nail services. To find out if the airport you will be passing through has these facilities, check out www.airportgyms.com/. Ask the hotel concierge for a map of walking/running trails that are nearby and safe.Ending a long day of back-to-back indoor meetings with some outdoor exercise is rejuvenating, and a great way to burn some calories before a business dinner. If your hotel does not have a fitness facility, ask if they have a relationship with a nearby health club.Most hotels without fitness facilities have established a relationship with a club where hotel guests can go for free or for a nominal fee. Pack resistance tubing and a jump rope and turn your room into a mini gym.Even a 20-minute routine including push-ups, crunches, squats, and lunges, will help maintain your fitness level while away. Rather than a business meeting at breakfast, or cocktails at the end of the day, suggest talking while working out.Your business associate might be thrilled with the chance to get in his/her workout as well. Be determined and committed to maintaining your fitness, but be flexible with your routine.Don't allow your travels to be an excuse to stop working out, but recognize that even if you need to shorten your workout, some activity is always better than none.

Travel Money Cards - How Do They Work and What Are the Benefits?

Take the stress, worry, and over-thinking out of traveling abroad with the use of travel money cards (sometimes known as "prepaid credit cards").These cards are convenient and safe and save you from having to carry cash or your regular credit card.Ahead of time you "pre-load" the amount of money that you have decided to budget into your currency card account, choose your currency (usually dollar, sterling pound, or Euro), your card is mailed to you and is similar to a typical credit or debit card, and you activate your account when you are ready. You can use the prepaid credit card anywhere where it is accepted, and it is similar to a traveler's check in many ways. The MasterCard and Visa prepaid travel money cards are more readily accepted across the world compared to other cards.The best benefits are that you can usually get a better exchange rate on foreign currencies and low cash withdrawal fees (but don't take out small amounts at a time because there will probably be a minimum fee for each withdrawal). You can easily keep track of what you are spending so that you can come back from your holiday having had fun but not running up a mountain of bills that will need to be paid at a later date.These travel money cards can be purchased at some supermarkets in other countries or perhaps the post office or some banks. They can also be purchased by telephone or online. These cards are not linked to any bank account because they are paid for in advance, and there is no interest charged to you because the money was prepaid ahead of time. Like a traveler's check, if you lose your card, you will normally be issued an emergency card immediately.One tip to remember is not to change money at an airport because the exchange rate is apt to be high. Using a travel prepaid credit card, you will generally get a higher exchange rate than normal bank rates, and these cards are usually commission-free. Also, your exchange rate is set, so you don't have to worry about fluctuating rates.

Age and Travel Insurance

With all insurances, premiums are worked out mainly on the probability of the customer making a claim. Insurers tend to categorise their customers in order to give them a quote, and one main category they look is the age of the customer. Quotes are drastically affected by young and old age. This also goes for travel insurance policies, especially people of an older age. Just like expensive car insurance is considered unfair to new young drivers, travel insurance is highly priced for people over the age of 60. This is unfair to those at that age who are in perfect health. Insurance companies have proven that there is a much higher chance of people over this age claiming on there travel insurance. And therefore class that group of people a high risk, and the premiums must reflect this. Some insurers will even refuse travel insurance completely to people of certain ages. Even though many pensioners consider these prices as ageist, insurance companies believe that people of this age claim as much as 3.5 times more than people under the age of 50. This is understandable; however they should assess each customer individually before giving them a quote, as its not fair on people of an age who are in perfect health. There are however a small quantity of insurance companies that specialise in giving the elderly travel insurance. These companies do charge slightly higher prices, but can be tailored to suit the individual. Certain aspects can be covered, while other pre-existing medical conditions can be excluded if need be to bring the price down. Be sure to check the policy thoroughly and make sure that what you need to be covered is covered. Use the internet for travel insurance comparison. Consider annual travel insurance if you plan on more than one holiday a year. Tailor your travel insurance to your needs to save money with cheap insurance.

How to be Successful - in Work and in Life

We hope that the following short piece (which is an extract from Craig Lock's first published book 'Handbook for Survival') may be informative and helpful to your e-zine readers, or on your web site. You have permission to publish this article electronically or in print (with links, please). If it helps others "out there" in any way, then we're very happy. "We share what we know, so that others may grow." * HOW TO BE SUCCESSFUL - IN WORK AND IN LIFE by Craig Lock Dream big dreams. Have a goal and plan to achieve. Have your goals in line with your principles, totally in alignment with your highest life values Love doing what you do. Listen to the advice of your spouse/partner. Seek help from those whose skills you don't have. Believe you are a winner, or one who CAN be. Work smarter, not necessarily harder. Fly with the eagles, don't scratch with the turkeys. Be prepared to take calculated risks. Be aware that opportunities are always around (and are often disuised as problems!) Promote your product well. Satisfy customers needs completely. Be decisive, determined and self-disciplined. Encourage others constantly. N.B: Act and live with utmost integrity at all times. Have a strong belief in yourself. Have an even stronger belief in God, a Higher Power, a Supreme Being...or whatever God, Spirit means to you personally. P.S: The further I travel in my journey down the "river of life", I just see the spiritual aspect as a different (and higher) dimension to the practical psychological principles (which help us in our everyday living); but they are just two perspectives to view life. The same principles align perfectly in my understanding. The writer tries to blend the psychological and spiritual approaches in his various writings in as simple and harmoniously a way as possible. "Become the person you are CAPABLE of being... and ALL the person God, Our Creator, the Ultimate Source, the very "Ground of our Being" intended us to become." "Success to others may be apparent in what you DO; but significance, meaning and purpose lies, then reveals itself in what you ARE and BECOME down the 'river of life' - how and the spirit with which you face, then overcome the daily obstacles, the frequent trials and tribulations along the often rocky path-way of life's magical and mysterious journey.

Time Management - Balance Work and Family

20 years ago the average family had 2 children, one parent who was the main income earner, and one home maker. Generally speaking, the father went to work and provided the income, and the mother stayed home to perform the unpaid work of raising the kids, doing the washing and making sure dinner was on the table and ready to eat by 6.00pm sharp. There was a definite equilibrium of balance.Times sure have changed! Now days, it's almost a unheard of that one parent works while the other looks after the family. The average person working 9 to 5 seems like something from the Stone Age. Employers demand more, and employees happily oblige by increasing work loads and hours. Typically main income earner will leave before the kids wake up, and get home just in time to tuck the kids into bed. The secondary money earner has to fit managing the household and working part-time. Quite a challenge that most families face.So how do you balance between Work Life and Family Life? There are two key factors that will help you create the balance that's right for your family.1. Set GoalsIf you don't have any goals, how will you know where you are going? Like a sail boat on the ocean you have to have a direct and a port to sail to. What are you aspiring to achieve? More than your career goals and aspirations, what about your personal life? Time with family, travel, vacations or maybe starting you own business. Write them down and then answer some simple questions.a) What are your goals in relation to your career and family? b) How would you ideally like to live your day, week, month, year?2. Set a TimetableTime Management is vital to succeeding in balancing your life. Once you have written down your goals, create a 24 hour timetable broken down into half hourly increments. Map out your day the way it is now. For example, 6.30 wake, shower and change; 7.00 breakfast; 7.30 out the door.Once you've accomplish this task try and identify pockets of time that can be used in areas that have been defined in your goal setting - like helping with your children's homework, spending time with your spouse, time out by yourself etc. This may seem tedious, but you would be surprised at how much time you will find to work on your goals, and start creating and living the balanced life you desire.There is more to life than just working, and paying the bills. Know how you spend your time and you will gain the benefit of improved relationships with your loved ones and yourself.Bill McRea is the publisher of The Time Managment Resourse and Inside Yourself.

Hard Work and Generosity Inspire Students Volunteering Abroad

Billings, MT September 22, 2004 -- When students Krystel Silva and Marty Lopez returned to college a few weeks ago, their month spent volunteering and traveling in Peru last May provides them with a new perspective on another culture and themselves.Silva and Lope were part of a team of seven Rocky Mountain College students who traveled with Professor David Strong and his family to Peru in May.While in Peru, the students participated in three service projects to help benefit the local communities around Urubamba, a mountain village located not far from Cuzco. The first of the service projects was to build a greenhouse -- or vivero. Rather than being composed of glass, the vivero involved a basic system of trenches dug into the ground. After mixing dirt, manure and compost, 4,000 saplings were collected, placed in bags and situated in the trenches of the vivero.One of the problems encountered in the overpopulated valley was the cutting down of native trees. This project would help nurture native saplings and represented one step in a larger effort of encouraging the growth of native species.The second project involved the students collaborating with local villagers to install clean-burning stoves. Cooking in tiny kitchens lacking proper ventilation is known to be a cause of health problems. Replacing older stoves which often lacked chimneys and proper stove doors, the new stoves aimed to help Peruvian women by bettering living conditions.Building a small garden and park in the back of a hospital next to the vivero was the third project. The design consisted of steps and pathways which were built using rocks, while benches and natural vegetation were also included.The overall purpose of the projects was to take this community that's growing and allow them to live there and be compatible with the valley, Strong said. Experiencing the sights, smells and sounds of poverty firsthand, Silva was inspired by the generosity of the impoverished people. They were always so concerned with you and your well-being. No matter how poor they were, or their lack of food, they were still so welcoming, Silva said.For Lopez, the meaning of his time spent in Peru did not hit him until he watched the final Peruvian sunset in Lima. It was then that he reflected upon his time spent with the locals engaging in hard labor and seeing them laughing, joking and enjoying it.It kind of inspired me with my school work " in admiration of their labor, Lopez said.The trip was organized through ProPeru, a service corps operating under the auspices of ProWorld whose mission is to provide cross-cultural experiences by blending service, community development and academic study.ProWorld Service Corps is a company specializing in study abroad and volunteer work service projects in Belize (ProBelize) and Peru (ProPeru). Founded in 1998, ProWorld provides enriching experiences for volunteers while striving to make a difference in cooperative communities.

Video Conferencing - How It Works And Why You Should Use It

The internet has made possible several marvelous technologies that enhance our lives in many ways. One very useful technology that has been gaining ground recently is video conferencing over the internet. Let's examine what it is and how it can be used effectively.Video conferencing essentially allows a group of individuals anywhere around the world who have internet access to be able to hold a simultaneous meeting together without having to physically meet one another in any specific location. It's a method of combining simultaneous video and audio so that a meaningful discussion or meeting can take place in real-time over the internet.So what do you need in order to have a video conference? Successful video conferencing components include video cameras, microphones, video conferencing software, and the computer equipment necessary to connect to the internet and process the sound and video data.In order to accomplish the transmission of the video and audio portions of the meeting, the video conferencing software that is used must take the input from the microphones and cameras, convert them into digital signals that are encoded and then transmitted across the internet where they are received and decoded back into images and sound on the other end.So who can make use of this advanced communications technology? Well, almost anyone who needs to meet with a group of other people who may not be local to them. Quite a few businesses are adopting this technology because it allows them to be able to communicate with personnel and offices no matter where they are located around the world, and share important ideas and planning strategies. And the biggest advantage for business is that they don't have to pay for the travel costs necessary to bring all of those people together at one time, and they don't lose productivity spent during the travel time to get there. So for many businesses it's a very positive solution for office related communications.Schools are also starting to use video conferencing quite a bit as distance learning over the internet continues to rise in popularity. It enables them to be able to teach subjects, and hold classes over the internet for their students without them having to be physically present.There are many other ways to make good use of internet video conferencing, as they can be beneficial for almost any group of people that needs to meet and discuss important topics in real-time without physically gathering together in the same place.Hopefully the information presented in this article will help you understand more about how video conferencing actually works, and who can best make use of this marvelous technology.Steadman Issenburg writes on many consumer related topics including communication.

Snoring Mouth Pieces - Do They Work and How Do You Know Which Are the Best?

So how does a snoring mouth piece work, and why are they so effective at helping people stop snoring? Snoring happens when air has a reduced amount of room to operate when travelling through your air passageways.This results in a higher concentration of air trying to get through the same space, which causes it to vibrate against your throat tissues while passing through. The resulting noise is termed snoring. This is the thing you want to get rid of.The tissues that actually vibrate are called the palate, and this is what you want to stop. The reality is, the air flow blockage could happen for any number of reasons, which is why there are so many anti snoring products on the market.One of them happens to be a snoring mouth guard, and while it certainly does work for many, it may or may not work for you. With that long preamble, here is how it works to help you stop snoring.A snoring mouth piece is put on your top and bottom teeth in a manner that it keeps you jaw from falling back, since your jaw is often times the thing that blocks your airways. Therefore, this keeps the airways clear.One thing to keep in mind is that, while these products may cover up the real problem, typically snoring happens because of unhealthy lifestyle choices, such as eating or exercising. Often times, simply shoring up your diet is enough in and of itself to reduce and eliminate snoring.I'm not recommending the mouth piece by itself, without at least making some other lifestyle changes. In addition, alcohol consumption has proven to significant increase the risk of snoring, as has smoking, so make sure you cut out these harmful habits too.The bottom line is, which snoring mouth piece you go with will make a difference. I would recommend you read reviews on the different ones on the market, see which one gets the most positive ratings, and then test it out for yourself to see if it helps stop your snoring or not.

What's the best snore stop product out there? Are any of them guaranteed to work? Don't invest a dime in anything before you read the unbiased reviews at onlinesnoringremedies.com

Time Management : Does Training Work And Where Do We Start?

The term time management is somewhat of an anomaly because we can't actually manage time! Telling delegates this at the beginning of a time management course can produce some frowning faces. We quickly move on to suggest that what we can do though is to manage ourselves in relation to time, we can control how we use time and we can control how we spend it.Time Management courses are attended by many different types of people and, in a sense, that's another of the fun factors. Learning about what other people do and how they manage their time is not only interesting, but also gives insight that is beneficial to all attendees. Our company has welcomed all levels of organizational membership from clerical workers up to regional and top CEOs.A critical issue in time management training is what can be taken away. We tell our delegates that we provide them with a toolbox of skills to enable them to become more productive, less stressed and happier at work. However, research actually shows that many time management courses just don't hit the mark. Why? Often they are not designed within the principles of human learning. There may be little thought given to preparing for the course, analyzing how time is spent before attending and to how learning from the course can be effectively transferred back to the workplace. Make sure that you consider all of these issues before signing up for a course. Once you have signed up, if your facilitator does as we do and asks you to carry out some pre-course work, make sure that you do. I recently ran an in-house course where not one of the attendees did the pre-course time log. Not only does this say something about the company and those attending, but it means that they lost at least 20% of the value of the course. If we do not know where our time goes, how can we learn to control it??!!Today's high paced offices are full of time-wasters. The phone is always ringing, bosses are always demanding meetings and there's always the drop-in visitor who asks for five minutes of your time only to leave you feeling overwhelmed an hour later. We all face different time-wasters and at times, we are our own culprits! Human traits such as ego and pride see us accepting too much work, always picking up the 'phone and being unable to say "no". On the other hand, a sense of pride in our abilities also leads us, at times, to accept too many challenges. Economic and job pressures result in us spending more and more time at work but often not achieving any more than we would in a "regular" 8 hour day. What's happening? These factors are leading us to procrastinate. There's so much to do that we feel overwhelmed. We make deals with ourselves such as have a coffee first then start, or do the easier task first. The problem is, that critical but oh so big project gets put back time and time again! This just adds to the stress and pressure.In many industries, workers spend a lot of their time "fighting-fires". This is where everything is classified as urgent and important. Ideally, such people need to find a mechanism to transform and spend more time working on projects which are still important, but not urgent. Ultimately, that's where effective management of time comes in. Planning and self-examination helps you know what you are capable of, when your most productive energy cycles are and what issues tend to bog you down. Learning to overcome procrastination is critical, as is learning to trust your direct-reports and allowing yourself to delegate more work - remembering to delegate responsibility as well as the work itself! Once you have mastered that, you need to go on to set smart* goals and learn how to plan your work and projects and build contingencies into these plans. As you begin to experience more control over your time, your mind will start to free-up and you'll think more clearly and embrace more passion for your work. To do this effectively, you'll also need to clear up your workspace, keep things neat and tidy and ensure adequate light (preferably natural) and optimal temperatures in the office. Then once you've spent time working on your own time management, you'll need to look to doing the same in others. Not just making sure they go on the same course as you, but also respecting their styles and preferences and not interrupting them during their most productive time periods.So if we can learn to manage time effectively in the office, can we do the same if we have to travel a lot for work? Of course! The trick is learning to always have something with you that you can be working on. So, for example after you've checked-in for your flight, you may have an hour or two to spare. Use this time for work that won't require high levels of concentration such as replying to emails or drawing up lose business plans. When you are visiting a client and he makes you wait in the conference room for 5 minutes, you can be working on some new sales ideas or reading the latest industry news. So, it's all about always having something that will ultimately need to be done ready to do in whatever situation you are in and in that case, when you are made to wait, you don't have to feel unhappy about it, rather in full control.In summary, research shows us that time management (or managing ourselves in relation to time) does work as long as we are committed to this and start out well from step one. Thinking that a one or two day course in time management will produce lasting results is erroneous. However, examining the current workplace, how time is spent and what changes can be made and being willing and able to make those changes as well as being committed to lasting time management success is what will produce consistent and long-term results. Those who report mastery of their time not only report being happier and more productive in less time, but they also report increased financial success. Like anything that produces a good return, an initial respectable investment is the key.*SMART goals are those which are specific, measurable, achievable, realistic and time-bounded

Working Abroad Survival Guide - How to Happily Work and Live Abroad

The desire to work abroad comes from many places. Perhaps it spawned from an amazing vacation with the desire to stay longer. Or maybe it is the result of a job that is isn't meeting your needs. Or simply good timing; the product of a college graduation or retirement. More often than not it can be any number of practical reasons coupled with the abstract desire to see and experience new things. Thousands of people each year pursue working abroad opportunities - paid and volunteer jobs. Some choose a neighboring country, picking an ideal season to make some money and live in a new location, while others move to a country further away. Regardless of the reason, all of these choices have something in common and all of these reasons spark a change that means uprooting ones life and starting in on another.The decision is by no means easy, nor is the action of picking up and leaving it all behind. In fact, making the decision to move overseas in the first place is one of the hardest decisions of all. So Kudos to you, you did it! You're on your way to one of the greatest experiences in your life. What's next? Sadly, the decision-making and planning doesn't stop after the choice to move abroad. In fact, taking the time to consider a few key aspects of your move will help to ensure that you have the most successful and fulfilling experience abroad as possible.Location, Location, LocationCountry Mouse or City Mouse? Looking to break into a social scene or enjoy the tranquil hills of a quieter locale? Maybe you want to learn a language and envision yourself enjoying the sun on white-sand beaches. Are you heading far away or staying closer to home? Narrowing down your location is a valuable aspect of your work abroad experience. After all, if you're going to be working there, it means you'll be living there and living in an environment you like and enjoy is an important aspect of your happiness. Or maybe that's exactly the point.You've always lived in a larger city and want some time to reflect in the mountains. Pinpointing what you plan to get out of the location you choose is a major issue when moving elsewhere. Some people desire the challenge of a new location while others have narrower criteria, like a beach within walking distance for instance. Sometimes location is a product of other desires. For instance someone who wants to teach English and save money may choose Asia over Europe while a person who wants to learn Spanish and desires a country that will afford them cheaper living, may choose South America. Whatever the underlying goals are for your work abroad experience thinking clearly about your location and what it will afford you while you're abroad is an important decision to consider. It can make the difference.Goals for Your Working Abroad AdventureWhile maybe you're abandoning your previous five-year plan it is important to keep your new goals in mind. Taking the time to consider what other aspects of working abroad you hope to achieve is valuable before the big move. For many, the answer isn't as concrete as it is for some. Many people choose a seasonal location to experience a different atmosphere. Meeting some new people and enjoying a little change is sometimes as much as some people are after. The money isn't bad either for resort or ski-lodge jobs where there are a large number of hours to work and money to be made. Lets not forget the added bonus of having it all nestled in a gorgeous location close to happy vacationers. This type of work abroad experience is an excellent way to freshen up a dull summer and to make some money in the process. Resort jobs in Europe offer the promise of easy travel to neighboring countries and cruise ship jobs are likely to extend longer than just one season. For those who enjoy open seas, long summers and considerable paychecks each month a job such as this is nothing less than a dream come true.For persons who are moving further away and for a longer period of time however, working abroad can simply be the means by which they can remain overseas. Cash is king for the young expatriate and a job is often nothing more than making enough money for them to stay and enjoy their chosen location. For this type of individual their goals probably transcend a seasonal change of pace and are more likely to include learning a new language, immersing in a different culture, seeing a different part of the world or gaining experiences useful for a career or educational path. Thousands of people choose an over seas job allowing them the opportunity to boost resumes, meet local people, reach personal goals and most importantly, remain abroad without the hassle of worrying over money. This makes working abroad one of the most ideal scenarios for an expatriate living in a foreign country because it offers a solution to financial problems and functions as a forum to meet personal and travel goals.The Good & Bad of Living AbroadAlong with meeting people local to the country, expatriates typically have a large group of English speaking friends. This is because working abroad in foreign countries to learn languages and to experience different cultures is becoming a booming trend. Groups of expatriates are usually tight nit groups. And it makes sense why. For anyone living abroad the experience can be daunting, alienating and a bit lonely. Learning a new language is difficult and can be frustrating. Having a group of people who not only share the same cultural background but also who speak your native language is an enormous comfort to the downfalls of expatriate living. Most expatriates agree however, that the best way to gain confidence in a foreign country is immersion. It is often all too easy to rely on English speaking friends who can relate to you culturally for comfort. Keeping your goals in mind and your desire to experience different customs is sometimes the hardest and most rewarding part of living abroad. Moving out of your comfort zone and expanding past an immediate group of expatriate friends is a valuable thing to consider about what you're hoping to achieve in the bigger picture of your work abroad experience.Besides cultural and language differences, expatriates find themselves away from home with bank accounts that need a boost. It isn't uncommon then for many people working abroad to settle for a job slightly less than desirable. As with most things worth doing, living abroad isn't easy and sometimes teaching English or cold calling doesn't rank high on peoples lists of desirable work. However, the pros of living abroad almost certainly outweigh the cons of the job and the work experience usually turns into a valuable experience and one that almost every expatriate was happy to choose.

Regardless of where you end up working abroad, your specific goals, or how prepared you are to handle adversity, you will definitely make memories to last a lifetime.

The Difference Between Busy Work And Profit Work

Everyone complains these days about how busy they are, but how productively are they using their time. Anyone who has ever worked in commission sales soon discovers that there are two kinds of work; busy-work and profit-work.Pareto's Principle says that 80% of our results come from 20% of our efforts. It's been my observation that when it comes to modern work practices Pareto's Principle is optimistic.Here are 5 questions to ask yourself during your working day.Question 1: Is what I am doing now the best choice of activity to help me achieve my objectives.The first step to answering this question well is to know what your objectives are. Most people have not given much thought to what the real objectives of their job are. They are too occupied with the busy-work to ask "what is the bottom line profit reason why I am here?"The role of every employee, and self employed person, is to enhance the business's ability to make net profit. No matter how far you are from the money making coal face, if you give some thought to your role in helping the business profit then you will be able to determine what is busy-work and what is profit-work.Question 2: Who can I delegate this to?The basic business concept of employment is that the employee should be providing the most valuable service possible for the money that they are being paid. If you are spending time doing tasks that someone further down the food chain could be doing then you are not providing the most valuable service for what you are being paid.Question 3: What would be the consequence of not do what I am doing now?This is an enlightening question. The human being is a great time waster. They spend too long on phone calls, too much time searching on the internet, too much time at the coffee machine, too much time in idle chatter and so on.If you regularly mentally ask yourself what the consequence would be if you didn't do what you are doing in this very moment then you would quite often discover that there would be no consequence, because what you are doing is busy-work.Question 4: Can I put a system in place to make this task faster?Are there ways to make some, or all, of your regular tasks more efficient? Over your lunch break, or while traveling to or from the office, give some thought to what systems you may be able to put into place that will help you complete tasks faster or more efficiently. A good assumption to work by is that there is always a way to do anything that is ten times better than the current way.Question 5: If I was hiring and paying a person to do my job would I be happy if they were doing what I am doing now?What is good use of your time and what is poor use is all a matter of perspective. If you can change the perspective then you can often gain an insight that you hadn't taken notice of before. The best perspective for assessing whether what you are doing is busy work or profit work is to stand in the shoes of an employer and imagine that you are paying someone, out of your own pocket, for the work being done.You may think that you are under paid but if you had to personally pay that salary then you would probably think that it was a large amount of money. You would also be very keen to get value for the money that you are spending. Your assessment, from that new perspective, is likely to be very profit-work focused.Final WordsEven the best workers can use their time more efficiently. Most workers could at least double their profitable output. Make a daily habit of asking yourself the above five questions and your will not only increase your profitable output but you will also gain more job satisfaction.

How You Can Earn An Income And Travel Or Live Overseas

Does the thought of just being able to get on a plane and go somewhere - anywhere - appeal to you? Do you have the travel bug, or are you perhaps actually dreaming of taking flight and settling down completely in a brand new location overseas?It seems that increasingly in this day and age with relatively cheap air travel available, (not including the carbon cost of flying around the world of course), and many websites, TV programmes and magazines committed to extolling the delights, virtues, sites and attractions of nations all around the world, that more and more of us want to see the world for ourselves up close and personally!Taking a vacation for a couple of weeks every year is no longer sufficient for us and even the baby boomer generation are getting in on the act and planning their retirement years abroad!The one thing we all have in common though is having to find a way to finance our travel and exploration plans. So, while the baby boomers can sell their homes and cash in their pensions maybe, what about the rest of us who actually have to still work for a living to make ends meet - is there a way to live abroad or travel the world and work and earn an income sufficient enough to keep us in the manner to which we have become accustomed?The simple answer is yes - here and three ways how you can earn an income and travel or live overseas1)Learn to teach English - one of the most popular ways that many native English speakers find to fund their exploration abroad is to learn how to teach English as a foreign language (TEFL) to young learners and adults. With a well accredited course and high pass marks under your belt you can take the skills you learn overseas with you and teach and spend after school time, at weekends and in the holiday periods using the money you earn to travel round the country in which you're working for example. International House TEFL courses and any course accredited by the Cambridge Examination Board in the UK are worth considering and TEFL is a truly flexible qualification and skill to have.2)Learn to teach a recreational sport like diving - if you become a dive master or instructor for example you can spend time in exotic places teaching tourists how to dive! The money isn't always incredible unless you run your own dive school, but the wage will be enough to allow you to live abroad in a fun location. Diving is just an example of a recreational pursuit you could teach - think about the location you'd like to live in and what skills may be required there - gain those skills and go teach!3)Start your own business overseas - the UK has an exhibition in November specifically for all those people who want to live abroad who are not yet in a position to retire and who would ultimately love to sack their boss. The Business Startup Overseas exhibition tells people how to find a niche, how to explore profitable avenues, how exactly to get all the paperwork in order and ultimately, how to start your own business abroad.These are just three simple ways that you could begin to consider and explore further if you really do want to spend a lot of time living and travelling abroad. Other options include becoming a yacht master and crewing yachts for wealthy people and effectively sailing yourself around the world, working as crew on cruise ships or airlines or possibly taking a skill you have such as singing or playing a musical instrument and busking your way around the world!Just think outside of the corporate world, 9 - 5 existence and think about the skills and talents you have, the skills and talents you could acquire and what opportunities there are or which opportunities you could create for yourself in a given location overseas.If you truly want to live abroad or travel overseas, commit yourself to the dream and you will find a way of making it an affordable reality.

Business, Networking, Global Resorts Network (grn) And Travel All Tied Together

You never know when you are going to lose your job, or have to find another way to make more income. Making money is not about sales, brains, or having money to make money. It is about Networking with people and building a web. As Zig Ziglar said, youcan have everything in life you want, if you help enough other peopleget what they want. Think about it for a second, what if you helped ten people reach their goals? Do you think they would remember you? Of course they would! They are not going to remember the company or the product, they are going to remember the person who made some of their dreams come true. They will return the favor one day with out a doubt. Global Resorts Network (GRN) is a proven fact of this. When you help other people, you can count on you web growing. And when you teach the people how to help and mentor other people that are in need, guess what, you will gain from that. Not only mentally and emotionally, but financially as well. It is a numbers game to a certain point, but only to a point. People do not buy the company or the product in Network marketing, they buy people. They buy into what you as a person can offer them in support and tem work.Traveling is one of the most sought after forms of relaxation more than anything. People love to travel to very high end resorts as well. It is as if they spend the money on vacation to feel like royalty for a week. Some people golf, others build cars, some buy extravagant toys, and then there are those of us that travel. Global Resorts Network (GRN) knows that people love to travel and they know how expensive it is. I feel bad for the people who got involved in a twenty, thirty, fifty thousand or more timeshare. If they would only have known the secret that Brent at LifetimeResort.com and so many others do. When we talk with timeshare owners, they are sick and tired of all the fees and payments that come with the timeshare, and also the fact that they only get one week out of the whole deal.And you have got to just hate the high pressure selling of these free dinners or free sunset cruises you get. These are some of the best salesman in the world, and unfortunately, you are falling into their trap if you want to go get a free dinner, Free is a funny word here, I would argue that after they sell you on a timeshare, you just paid $20,000 for the meal you just ate. But that is my opinion, and LifetimeResort.com is in agrees as well. Global Resorts Network (GRN) is not in the business of asking people for double digit sums of money. They want to actually help people build a dream. People helping People, that is what it really boils down to, really go do your research for your self. And I dare you to ask questions and lots of them to. Try to find the scam, try to find the catch.you will not. All contact info is in the resource box.don't be shy

Taking Your Kids Out of School to Go Camping and Travelling in Australia

Taking your kids out of school for several weeks when you go camping and travel Australia can be a difficult choice. If you can include the usual school holidays and add a week or several weeks, it will impact a bit less on their lessons. It depends at what stage they are at school as it's easier to take them out of primary school than secondary school.Contact your child's school and teachers and explain when you are going away and where so the teacher is fully aware of your plans. In my experience all the teachers had no problem with them missing school for a few weeks. Some of them said 'they will learn a lot more' as we were travelling Australia and were quite happy for them to go. A few teachers gave them work sheets to do or a novel to read while they were travelling and asked them to do a daily diary of their travels.My family have had two 6 week camping trips, the first in 2000 & the 2nd in 2003 where my 3 kids were taken out of school for 4 weeks each time as we included the June holidays both times.The first trip we went on my kids were 7, 10, and 12 years old, the eldest being in the first year of secondary school. We travelled from Victoria to Central Australia, to Darwin, Kakadu and back down through Outback Queensland and New South Wales.The second trip they were 10, 13, and 15 so this time 2 were in secondary school. This time we travelled from Victoria to Alice Springs, on the Tanami Track to The Kimberley, around the Gibb River Road, then to Katherine and down the Stuart Hwy to home.The diaries that they made and the photos we took are great to look back on. They added an entry in the diary each day, with a few paragraphs, noting where we travelled to or from, what they had seen and experienced. Then they included a small brochure. postcard or cut out pictures from larger brochures.

There are even notations as to what food items are Kosher, for those travelers with such dietary needs.Founding the company was a true family business experience recalls company President, Harriet Shrater, It was on a family trip to a cottage in New Hampshire that we realized, after buying a half-dozen bottles of condiments and dressings that were going straight in the trash after we left, that there was no place to easily buy smaller sizes. Harriet, who has a background in human resources, and is a lifelong member of the Girl Scouts of America, hatched the plan for the company with her engineering-executive husband, Joel Shrater. Then, they brought the concept to both of their children, Robyn Shrater Seemann, who works in graphic and internet design in Washington D.C., and Paul Shrater, a graduate of the well-known Wharton business school. The family divided up duties and then set forth to launch an innovative online presence in individual and travel-sized items.Paul Shrater adds, We just finished our beta-test phase, and we've already had customers purchasing products to lower the weight they carry backpacking, to bolster their basic first aid kit, to add stuff to what they carry in their purse, and also some that bought items to keep at their desk at work. It is exciting to see the wide-ranging customer base. Some of the most consistent feedback we got was that it was fun.'For additional information contact: Paul Shrater, VP of Marketing, 818-761-1243About MinimusThe minimus.biz website was launched on July 6, 2004.

Is Nursing a Good Career to Travel, To Work and Live in Different Countries?

Many people dream of having a career that gives them opportunity to travel the world and experience different locations and cultures. Unfortunately, relatively few jobs really allow for this, and many of the ones that do are very exclusive. However, one field that is relatively accessible and allows for extensive travel is nursing.Travel nursing first came about as a response to a significant shortage of nurses in the United States and in other countries. In order to deal with this shortage, several companies started offering nurses benefits for traveling to other states or countries in order to work in their hospitals. The advantages of being a travel nurse - aside from being able to see different areas of the country and the world - may include better wages, paid housing and other bonuses.Traveling also provides nurses new opportunities by exposing them to new challenges that come with working in a different place. This is especially true when it comes to international travel nursing, as many hospitals in other countries lack the technology and staff of American hospitals. This can lead to some incredibly challenging yet also fulfilling work experiences.To become a travel nurse, one must simply apply to one of the many travel nursing agencies worldwide. Currently, there are well over 300 such companies in the United States alone. To apply to one of these companies is not an easy task, and it requires a substantial amount of paperwork. Potential applicants will have to fill out a detailed application and work history, as well as provide verification for all their certifications. Other hurdles to becoming a travel nurse include skill assessments and verification of vaccinations for common transferable diseases. Fortunately, some agencies will accept paperwork that has been completed for others, making applying to multiple agencies easier.After securing a job with one of these companies, the agency will submit applications on behalf of the nurse for various positions around the country or around the globe. The nurse may have some limited control over where they are sent, but ultimately go where they are needed. The hospitals that need nurses will choose the nurses that best meet their needs, then make an offer to the agency. The agency, in turn, figures out how much its going to cost for them to pay the nurses housing and travel costs. Once thats all calculated, they present the nurse with their offer.Most agencies will provide their travel nurses with fully furnished and paid housing that is near the hospital where they will be working. The exact quality of the housing, as well as pay and other benefits, will vary from agency to agency. Generally speaking, the better the amenities, the lower the actual wages that the nurse will be paid. Some nurses may not even be provided with housing, but may get better wages. Every agency is different and has different opportunities available its up to the nurse to find one that best suits his or her needs.
