Thanks for visiting this web-site. We also invite you to view our newest web-site – Ray of Hope Ministries On-Line Bible Study. click here www.rohmbible.wordpress.com
Usually I try to publish a new Today's Enlightenment blog post every two weeks, alternating with our Ray of Hope Ministries On-Line Bible Study mentioned above. However, due to some health issues I have been unable to keep that schedule over the past month (September). During that time I experienced two medical emergencies. An eye injury and extremely high blood pressure, which involved a week of daily visits to the eye doctor and a trip to the hospital emergency room. In addition I spent at least three days a week keeping appointments with doctors and physical therapy for my wife Joan. On top of all this there was unavoidable shopping for essentials (mostly food). During this time I wasn't able to focus mentally or physically on doing much of anything, especially reading and writing.
That was the bad news. But with God there is always good news in the midst of bad news. There is always hope when things seem hopeless. My hope was that something worthwhile would come from my situation. The good news is that as it turned out, my hope was fulfilled. The good news was is that this unavoidable "down time" meant I had a lot of time to be attentive to God, who had some insight for me about my need to continue to make some changes in my life. Actually, this was not new insight but a reminder of what I had already heard from God over the last few retirement years.
My observation is that the major change in my life upon retirement has been that I no longer have to do something, or be somewhere, or keep a fairly rigid schedule, as I did from the time I was born until I fully retired three years ago at age 70. To put it another way, I am no longer required to be responsible to any human authority when it comes to deciding what I am going to do with my life. However, all too often I find myself feeling guilty about that. Why should I have such freedom? And sometimes, as a result of this guilt over not being busy enough, I become my own task master. Someone is telling me to be somewhere to get something done by a specific time. And that someone is no one but myself. And then the guilt would lead to worrying about not getting things done.
Now God was reminding me that I was creating all this guilt and worry myself, and there was no need for that. My problem was that I was making decisions about what to do with my life on a day to day basis without seeking God's direction. One big change needed in my life was that I needed to start spending some time every day discerning God's will for me. I was already faithfully starting each day with devotional reading. And I did seek God's direction as to the big, long-term issues in life. But I was not allowing time for prayer and meditation concerning what God desires from me from day to day.
I was reminded that it was not how busy I was that mattered, but to what extent I was seeking and listening as to how to use my time in accordance with God's will. That was what I needed to begin doing at the beginning of each day or the night before. There is no such thing as not having enough time to pray for God's daily direction. God will always give me the time. So I need to take and use that God-given time to discern how God wants me to use (or how God wants to use me) the rest of the time every day for the the rest of my life.
As I said, this was not new insight. But like a lot of things that are important sometimes we fall out of the habit of applying them. I recalled that my past experience was that God will give me give me the direction I need. Over the years I discovered that if I took the time to seek and discern God's will day by day, said "yes" to whatever that was, and then just did it, believing that God would give me everything I needed (God's grace) to get it done, God would assure it got done and at the same time took away my guilt and worry. Sometimes it was a matter of keeping on with some routine I was very familiar with and did over and over again. But sometimes it was something entirely new. Something I had never done before. Something that, if I didn't listen to God, I would never even try, because I would have convinced myself that it would be impossible for me to accomplish. Like becoming a pastor and preaching a sermon every week. Like writing this blog.
Now I needed to get back to faithfully applying that process. I know that if I get back to doing that every day, the the result will be that I will be more focused on and less distracted from what God wants me to be doing (what God wants to do with me) each day. It will also help keep me from being discouraged. If it is God's will, it will get done. Whatever "it" turns out to be. This is the good news that came out of a not so good month form me. God has given me renewed hope where all too often there seems to little or no hope in our world. My hope is that what God has inspired me to write in this blog, will inspire you to continue, renew, or begin to spend some time with God every day, seeking and discerning God's will for you. Saying "yes" to God. And then doing whatever God has given you to do. Always believing that God will always give you everything you need to proceed, and will never give you anything to do that you can't do.
Grace and peace, Ray Gough

A study in the Annals of Neurology showed that athletes who began playing tackle football before age 12 had cognitive issues and behavioral/mood problems arise 13.39 years and 13.28 years earlier, respectively, compared with those who first played tackle football at age 12 or older. Researchers also tied every additional year of earlier tackle football exposure to 2.5 years earlier symptoms of chronic traumatic encephalopathy.

Gartner's highlights about emerging technologies in 2005
(via future now) Not really groundbreaking for people use to watch today's trends, Gartner released its key highlights about emerging technologies in 2005 (as part of their hype cycle program).
Gartner has identified three key technologies themes businesses should watch as well as highlighting some of the individual technologies in those areas. Technologies that will enable the development of Collaboration, Next Generation Architecture and Real World Web are highlighted as being particularly significant.
- Collaboration: Podcasting, Wiki, Peer to Peer (P2P) voice over IP (VoIP), Desktop Search, Really Simple Syndication (RSS) and Corporate Blogging.
- Next Generation Architecture: Service Oriented Architecture (SOA), Web Services-Enabled Business Models, Extensible Business Reporting Language (XBRL), Business Process Platforms (BPP).
- Real World Web: Location-aware applications, Radio Frequency Identification (Passive), Mesh Networks — Sensor.
As for location-aware applications, here is what they say:
Location-aware applications. These are mobile enterprise applications that exploit the geographical position of a mobile worker or an asset, mainly through satellite positioning technologies like Global Positioning System (GPS) or through location technologies in the cellular network and mobile devices. Real-world examples include fleet management applications with mapping navigation and routing functionalities, government inspections and integration with geographic information system applications. Mobile workers will use either a PDA or smartphone, connected via Bluetooth to an external GPS receiver, or stand-alone positioning wireless device.
Why do I blog this? As I said earlier, this is not so earthshaking if you're in the technological scouting loop. I would say that I am less interested in the content of this than in how it's presented to their customers. As matter of fact, it gives an idea about what is being said about tech innovation to CEOs and decision makers. Of course, some potential usage are not cited (the collaboration feature in location-aware application is missing for instance).

The Pioneers of Seduction EP
by David Boffa
Brooklyn bands, in general, tend to be pretentious when they get political. Brooklyn post-punk outfit The Pioneers of Seduction are no different. Their band bio reads like anarchist doctrine, with references to "nuclear proliferation" and "death panels" strewn in among shameless name drops—apparently, renowned post-punk producer Steve Albini recorded The Universe Is Setting Us Up, their debut album (due out in April). Fortunately, the extraordinary music on their new EP makes one forget their ostentatious bio.
The opening verse to "I Want to Wake Up Beautiful" is a thing of beauty. Fuzz-ripened guitar chords and jaunty drums set a peppy tone as front man/guitarist Max Low wishes to sleep with beautiful women so he can "wake up and not be gay." And during "Kurash," as Low beholds "the anatomical approximation of a porn star," bassist Avispa's distorted notes rumble sweetly underneath drummer Ian Kramer's turbo-charged rhythms. Thank God the Pioneers' songs are more about porno watching than socio-political ranting,
because Universe is so much better without the latter.
Catch The Pioneers of Seduction Thursday, February 19 and Ralph's.

Shame on the Jamaica Council of Churches
Dear Editor,
I listened to the news on a particular radio station on January 14, 2019, which stated that the Jamaica Council of Churches is at odds with the Jamaican Government for its recent vote.
Based on my understanding, the governments of Jamaica and several other countries voted not to support the presidency of Nicolas Maduro as legitimate. Hence, Maduro would not be considered the duly elected president of Venezuela in the eyes of many countries.
I have taken issue with the Jamaica Council of Churches having a concern with the Government's position on account that friends must be loyal to each other in good and bad times. Blind friendship is no friendship.
Here are some of my concerns with the Jamaica Council of Churches' position:
1. The mandate of the church, according to Matthew 28: 19-21, is to: "Go ye, therefore, and teach all nations, baptising them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen."
From this mandate it speaks nothing about arguments on Government's discussion to support foreign polices. Rather to preach about a soon coming king who will put an end to the kings and presidents of this Earth.
2. I do believe that the Jamaica Council of Churches is also being unfair to the Government as the word declares several times, one of which is in Micah 6:8, that "He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God."
It is no secret that the Venezuelan people have been suffering at the hand of President Maduro. People have been jailed, beaten, and even silenced for speaking freely. He has been hostile to foreign diplomats who oppose his leadership styles, and even eject and imprison many. If this is not injustice and merciless I would not want to know what loving justice it is the Jamaica Council of Churches preaches about.
I believe that the church should speak out about the harsh and wicked leadership of Maduro; not about a position to support or not to support foreign observance of governments.
3. We have several issues in Jamaica that the church must address, including harsh treatment of many Jamaicans who suffer at the hand of a poor government medical system. The Jamaica Council of Churches is too silent on issues of social and moral decay, but ready to speak outside of its mandate of justice and mercy.
It is full time the church goes back to a code of values and integrity. Talk about having a safe country which has respect for God and honour his commandments. Talk about a saviour of the world and how he can change the world. The church has got so caught up in what it should have little or no concern for in society that it has lost its sense of identity.
The Jamaica Council of Churches must have relevance to preaching and teaching the gospel, not politicking and grandstanding.
It's full time the Jamaica Council of Churches speaks to crime, love, justice, integrity, and honesty.
Christopher Johnson
Minister of religion

State Department warns U.S. citizens against remaining in Venezuela
The Obama administration is advising U.S. citizens in Venezuela against remaining in the country warning that they're responsible for getting out should conditions on the ground worsen.
"Travel Warning: If security climate worsens, US citizens should note they're responsible for arranging their own travel out of #Venezuela," the State Department's Overseas Security Advisory Council advised in a tweet Thursday night.
Posting photos of protests and street fires, the State Department also warned U.S citizens against traveling to Venezuela because of increasing violent crime and social unrest.
Travel Warning: If security climate worsens, US citizens should note they're responsible for arranging their own travel out of #Venezuela— OSAC (@OSACState) December 15, 2016
#Venezuela #Travel Warning: Personnel assigned to US Embassy in #Caracas subject to movement limits that restrict svcs Embassy can provide— OSAC (@OSACState) December 15, 2016
In a new travel advisory, the State Department warned Thursday that the political situation is unpredictable and violent crime is endemic. Venezuelan security forces have arrested or detained U.S. citizens with little or no evidence of a crime.
"The political and security situation in Venezuela is unpredictable and can change quickly," the advisory states. "Political rallies and demonstrations occur with little notice, and are expected to occur with greater frequency in the coming months in Caracas and throughout the country."
Conditions in Venezuela have been gone from bad to worse in recent months as the country has plummeted into a deepening economic crisis amid rising inflation and alarming homicide rate. In recent months, anti-government demonstrations have broken out regularly as desperate citizens taken to the streets to protest the lack of even the most basic goods.
"Due to shortages of some food and medical supplies, U.S. citizens should be prepared to cover their own needs while in country," the state department said. "In the event that the security climate worsens, U.S. citizens should be responsible for arranging their own travel out of Venezuela."

I think it's all posturing for the IPO. There can't be anything else on Zuck's mind right now, so why else? He's likely more threatened by Pinterest than by Instagram, so I thought it was an interesting choice to pursue them. Then again, this could have been going on behind the scenes prior to when Pinterest hit the big time in 4Q last year.
—April 11, 2012, 11:02 am
Yes, you're spot on by pointing out the IPO. I neglected to mention it and I'm sure that was a major factor. Concerning Pinterest, I think Zuck opted for Instagram because IG can be easily incorporated into the Facebook platform whereas Pinterest is an entirely different way of sharing. Pinterest is also becoming a hot bed for spam and has a lot of issues to work out with copyright infringements etc., i.e. more headaches for Zuck. But like you said, I'm sure he's still got to be lusting after it. A platform he wants to conquer, for sure!

The transition from junior high into high school is a big one for your teen, and it often leads to significant changes in your teen's circle of friends. The friends that you're used to your teen hanging around may drift away as they get involved with different things in high school, and your teen may connect with another group entirely–a group that you believe is influencing your teen in a negative way. If you think your teen has fallen in with the wrong crowd, you may want to take the following steps to intervene.
- Talk to Your Teen
If you've been on autopilot for a while with your teen and the lines of communication are a little dusty, spending more time with your teen is often in order. If your teen knows you care about what's going on in their life, they will be more likely to listen to what you have to say. The way you approach talking about your teen's friends is crucial. Teens will defend their friends to the death and will often shut down and close themselves off to you if they feel you are attacking them. Instead, first talk about how your teen's behavior has changed since he or she started hanging out with a particular group of friends. Firmly explain what types of behavior are acceptable and unacceptable.
When you finally broach the topic of your teen's friends, make sure you discuss the specific types of behavior they exhibit that you're unhappy with, rather than vague, sweeping criticisms. Doing this lessens the chances of your teen thinking you just blindly hate their friends for no reason. For example, "I think that so-and-so is disrespectful of his parents. I saw him cussing out his mother in the parking lot after the basketball game. That's not okay, and I don't want you to think it's okay to treat me that way either."
- Invite the Friends over
Typical responses when you talk to your teen about his or her friends are "You don't even KNOW my friends!" or "You just don't understand." If this is the case, open up your home and have your teen's friends over a time or two. Order in some pizzas and spend some time with them. Make an honest attempt at building a relationship with them. You don't have to hover, but get an idea of who they are, their personalities and what makes them tick. This is an important part of assessing your teen's circle of friends. Sometimes they're not as bad as their hard exterior and crazy hair lead you to believe.
- Get to Know Their Friends' Parents
If your child is getting into trouble with a group of friends, chances are there are a couple other parents out there who aren't happy about it either. Get in touch with the parents of your teen's friends and discuss what you can do to counter what's happening when your teens get together. While it's tempting to play the blame game, don't fall into that trap. You don't want to ostracize the adult(s) who can help reinforce any separation or disciplinary action you have to take.
- Find Positive Mentors
Finally, is there an old friend of your teen's who's doing well in school and could talk to your teen about his or her behavior and choice of friends? Is there a trusted family member, older teen or 20-something that your teen looks up to who could take them under their wing? If your teen won't listen to your warnings about their friends, perhaps they will listen to someone who's been in their shoes more recently.

Hello my Loves! Just a minute for a super quick outfit-update because it's already in the middle of the week and I haven't uploaded anything. I'm having a little bit of stress right now, finishing some work for my exams, starving for the weekend and so on!
If you are also a little fashion freak as I am, you probably already recognized the newest trend of the year: SEVENTIES. Seriously, every silhouette and color you see right now lis looking like popping out of an old hippie movie. And well, I am already a little bit in... This is just the beginning.. I grabbed my old suede skirt, which seems to be the perfect basic for this season (I was always have been hoping that it will come back!), paired it with a black turtleneck (found it again, after it was missing till last weekend - the little bastard…), my new little treasure, the boots and Mummies old Escada bucket bag which will have A MASSIVE revival this spring! Altogether, this definitely is a stylish 1970s look, but well, perhaps I can do better! And I will prove it, I am seriously looking 24/7 for new clothes in suede, denim or flower power fun!
See you (hopefully) soon! I am planning something special for the next post, but I just can't find the time to shoot it - argh!
I was wearing:
Black Cashmere Turtle Neck: ERIC BOMPARD
Brown Suede Mini Skirt: ASOS (pretty old)
Brown Camouflage Fake Fur Coat: MICHAEL KORS
Brown High Heeled Boots: MASSIMO DUTTI
Vintage Bucket Bag: ESCADA

Rose cutting for arrangements
What could smell or look lovelier than a vase full of stunning roses? With just a little care, they can last a very long time in a vase.
5 Tips For Cutting Roses
1. Wait until after 3 p.m. to cut, when their nutrient levels are the highest.
2. Choose buds that have just started to open, only 1/3 to 1/2 of the way through the process. Once a bud has fully opened, it's too late to cut.
3. Always use a sharp, clean pair of shears. Dull shears crush the stem, and dirty shears can transmit diseases.
4. Don't remove all of the leaves — keep at least 3 to help feed the bloom. Remove only leaves that will be below the water level of the vase.
5. Once you have finished cutting all the roses for the day, bring them inside to begin the water conditioning and hardening process.
9 Tips For Preserving Roses
Now that they are cut, the clock starts ticking.
The first threat to a cut rose's health is the air pocket that entered the stem when you cut the rose outdoors. It will work its way up to the stem, cutting off the nutrient supply and shortening the bloom's life.
1. Replace that air with water. The easiest way is to fill a bowl with hot tap water, as hot as you can stand to put your hands into.
2. Add any floral preservative you use, plus a few drops of bleach.
3. Place all of the rose stems into the bowl without the buds touching the hot water.
4. Use your shears to cut 1/4 inch off the end of each stem.
5. Leave the roses in the bowl until the water cools to room temperature.
6. Fill your vase with warm water, add a drop or 2 of bleach, and some preservative.
7. Finally add your roses.
8. Whenever the water starts to get cloudy, remove the roses, refill the vase with warm water, add another drop or 2 of bleach, and return the roses to the vase at once.
9. When the blooms begin to show signs of wilting, re-cut about an 1/8 of an inch from the stems and place them in hot water for an hour before returning them to the vase.
This little bit of extra work will vastly extend the vase life of your cut roses. Roses can live for an amazingly long time in a vase if you will help them.

Anti-Fraud and Bribery
The Bribery Act 2010 came into effect on 1st July 2011. Bribery is generally defined as giving someone a financial or other advantage to encourage that person to perform their functions or activities improperly or to reward that person for having already done so.
The maximum penalty for bribery is 10 years imprisonment, with an unlimited fine. In addition the Act introduces a corporate offence of failing to prevent bribery by an organisation not having adequate preventative procedures in place.
The organisation may avoid conviction if it can show that it had procedures and protocols in place to prevent bribery. The corporate offence is not a stand-alone offence, but always follows from a bribery and/or corruption offence committed by an individual associated with the company or organisation in question.
As a result, I confirm that NHS East Lancashire CCG will commit sufficient time and resources to the development and embedding of an appropriate anti-bribery programme to include:
- a commitment to carry out business fairly, honestly and openly
- a commitment to zero tolerance towards bribery
- the consequences of breaching the policies for employees and managers
- the avoidance of doing business with others who do not commit to doing business without bribery as a 'best practice' objective
- the protection and procedures for confidential reporting of bribery (Whistleblowing)
- to support key individuals and departments involved in the development and implementation of the CCG's bribery prevention procedures
Mark Youlton, Chief Officer
{slider title="What should I do if I suspect bribery is occurring?" open="false"}
Staff should report any suspicions or allegations of bribery immediately to one of the following:
- the Whistleblowing function
- NHS Fraud and Corruption Reporting Line (0800 028 40 60)
- or the online fraud reporting form at www.cfa.nhs.uk/reportfraud

Chapter I
When Confucius was at home in his native village, he was unassuming and warm and seemed reluctant to speak. When he was in the ancestral temple or at court, however, he spoke with eloquence but due caution.
Chapter II
When he was at court chatting with officials in the lower ranks, he was genial; when he was chatting with officials in the upper ranks, he was respectful. When the ruler was present, he looked dignified and serene.
Chapter III
When the ruler ordered him to welcome guests to court, he assumed a serious expression on his face and walked at a rapid pace. As he bowed and saluted to the left and the right, he made sure that his gown flowed backwards and forwards in perfect rhythm with the movements of his body. When he rushed forward, his sleeves fluttered like the wings of a bird. After seeing off the guests, he always returned to announce: "The guests have gone."
Chapter IV
When entering the gate of the duke's palace, he walked in stealthily. He never stood in the middle of the gateway, nor did he step on the threshold. When he passed in front of the duke's throne, he adopted a serious expression on his face, quickened his step, and showed great reluctance to speak. When he lifted up the hem of his gown in preparation for walking up the steps of the audience hall, he inhaled deeply as if he didn't dare to breathe. On leaving, after descending the first step, an expression of relief enveloped his face. When he reached the bottom step, he walked swiftly, as if on wings. On returning to his original position, he assumed a respectful look again.
Chapter V
When carrying a jade tablet, he bowed as if bending under its weight. When he held it high, he looked as if he was bowing, and when he held it low he looked as if he was going to make an offering. He adopted a solemn expression, and he walked in short steps as if following a straight line. When participating in a ritual ceremony, he looked refined. When in a private meeting, he looked happy.
Chapter VI
A leader does not wear purple or maroon decorations on his gown; red and purple should not be used for casual wear at home. During the summer, he wears a fine or coarse linen singlet, but never goes out without wearing a gown. With a black robe, he wears lamb skin; with a white robe, he wears fawn skin; and with a yellow robe, he wears fox skin. The fur robe he wears at home is long and has a shorter right sleeve. His nightgown is very long. Thick furs such as fox and badger are worn at home. Except when he is in mourning, he wears all the ornaments on his girdle. Apart from his ceremonial robe, the layers of his other robes are cut to different lengths. At funerals, he does not wear lamb skin or black caps. On New Year's Day, he attends court dressed in full court attire.
Chapter VII
During periods of abstinence, he wore a plain robe made of coarse linen. During periods of abstinence, he changed his diet and did not sit in his usual place when at home.
Chapter VIII
He ate high-quality rice and finely-cut meat. If the food was rotten or rancid, if the fish wasn't fresh, and if the meat was spoiled, he didn't eat it. If the food was off-color, he didn't eat it. If it smelled bad, he didn't eat it. If it was undercooked, he didn't eat it. If it was not served at the proper time, he didn't eat it. If it was not cut properly, he didn't eat it. If it was not served in its proper sauce, he didn't eat it. Even if there was plenty of meat, he didn't eat more meat than rice. As for wine, however, there was no limit as long as he remained sober. He didn't consume wine or meat bought from the market. He was never without ginger when he ate, but used it only in moderation.
Chapter IX
After assisting at the duke's sacrificial ceremony, he didn't keep the meat overnight. When carrying out routine sacrifices at home, he didn't keep the meat for more than three days. After the third day, he didn't eat it.
Chapter X
When eating, he did not talk. When retiring to bed, he did not speak.
Chapter XI
Even if the food only consisted of coarse rice, vegetable soup, and melons, he made a sacrificial offering in a grave and respectful manner.
Chapter XII
He didn't sit on a mat unless it was straight.
Chapter XIII
When the villagers were drinking together, he didn't leave until the elders had departed.
Chapter XIV
When the villagers carried out an exorcism ceremony, he put on his court dress and stood on the eastern steps.
Chapter XV
When sending his greetings to someone in another state, he would bow twice before sending the messenger on his way.
Chapter XVI
When Ji Kangzi sent him some medicine, Confucius bowed as he accepted the gift but said: "Since I don't know what this substance is, I dare not taste it."
Chapter XVII
When the stables burned, Confucius left court and asked: "Was anyone hurt?" He did not ask about the horses.
Chapter XVIII
When his ruler sent him a gift of pre-cooked food, he straightened his mat and was the first person to taste it. When his ruler sent him a present of raw meat, he cooked it and offered it to the spirits of his ancestors. When his ruler gave him a live animal, he reared it. When dining with his ruler, he was the first one to taste the food after the ruler had performed the sacrificial offering.
Chapter XIX
When he fell ill and his ruler came to visit him, he had himself laid with his head facing the east and his body covered by his court dress with a sash laid across it.
Chapter XX
Whenever his ruler summoned him, he would set off without waiting for the horses to be harnessed to his carriage.
Chapter XXI
When visiting the Grand Ancestral Temple, he asked about everything.
Chapter XXII
When a friend died and there was no one to take care of their funeral, he said: "Let me look after it."
Chapter XXIII
When receiving a gift from a friend, he wouldn't bow even if it was something as valuable as a horse and carriage. The only gift he would bow for was one of sacrificial meat.
Chapter XXIV
In bed, he did not lie stiffly like a corpse; at home, he was informal and relaxed.
Chapter XXV
When he saw someone in mourning clothes, he adopted a solemn expression on his face and remained distant even if he knew them well. When he saw someone wearing a ceremonial cap or a blind person, he was courteous even if they were in an agitated state. When riding in his carriage, he expressed his condolences to anyone he passed who was in mourning, even if they were a mere street hawker. When offered rich delicacies at a banquet, he showed his deep appreciation. When he heard a sudden clap of thunder or a ferocious wind an expression of awe came over his face.
Chapter XXVI
When climbing into his carriage, he stood and faced it squarely and then grasped the hand strap. Once in the carriage, he didn't turn to look at those standing behind him, talk loudly, or point with his finger.
Chapter XXVII
Startled by a sudden movement, the bird flew off and then landed again. It is said: "The hen pheasant on the mountain bridge; what perfect timing, what perfect timing!" Zilu motioned towards the bird, which sniffed three times and flew away.

Sabbaticals are often associated with college professors, who take a year off to do research off in a far corner of the world. It's not usually something that people think that they can do with their jobs or families. But that doesn't have to be the case.
There are lots of travel blogs out there that will tell you how to quite your job, sell your stuff, and travel the world…including this one. In fact the first full year of this blog was dedicated to that concept. You can read more about what it's like to live in a van in New Zealand and how to travel long-term on a budget if that still sounds like that would be your jam.
While selling everything and living in a van certainly is an option, it's not the only option. There are ways to plan for a sabbatical so that you have a job when you come back, and all your stuff will still be there. This way you can travel longer without having to start all over when you return.
Pat and I are currently in the early stages of planning a sabbatical in 2019 to celebrate our 10 year anniversary. We travel somewhere different every year for our anniversary, so it seemed only right that we cap off 10 years and Mr. and Mrs. with a special trip.
You might be thinking "2019?! That's forever away!" Well, to plan for a sabbatical, where you're still going to have your job when you come back, sometimes a long term plan is the best plan. So, without further ado, let's get into some of the things you're going to want to start thinking about now, for that sabbatical later.
You may also like: Write For Us A Travel Guest Post/Sponsored Post
1. How long will my sabbatical be?
This is an important question for a few reasons. 1. If you are an American, most places will allow you to stay without a special visa for up to 3 months. Any longer, and you'll likely need to apply for some type of visa. This adds complications and sometimes cost. If you want to have a longer sabbatical than 3 months, it might be a good idea to split your time between two nearby countries. Then you save on some travel expense, get to experience more places, and can travel longer.
There's lots of ways to skin this proverbial cat, but it's something you need to consider early on.
You also need to think about your length of travel because, if you can bank vacation days, you need to start a plan now, and figure out how much you can accrue, and by when. Depending on how much you can save every year, while still taking a little time off here and there, will determine when you can take off. If you can swing to get paid vacation time during your sabbatical, it will make affording your trip much easier.
If you are in good standing with your employer, it might not be a bad idea to float the idea past them. Mention that in 4 or 5 years, you'd like to take a longer trip, say 3 months and wanted to get their feedback. There might be a time of year when it's easier for you to be gone. You might need to skype in for staff meetings, or do some telecommuting one day a week to make it work. Either way, if you're a good employee, it will be much cheaper and less of a headache for most employers to work to find a way to give you the time off rather than replace you, particularly if you're making a 5 year commitment to be with the company. The key is to know your audience when having this conversation.
2. Where will you go?
This will also be key as you start to figure out your budget. Large cities are typically going to be more expensive. Sometimes even picking a small town an hour or so away can save you substantial amounts of money. Also take into account public transportation. If you're only going to be gone a few months, you probably don't want to try to buy and sell a car. You definitely can, and some places that will make more sense in. But for a 3 month sabbatical, living somewhere where you can rely on public transportation will be super helpful. Most places in Europe would be ideal for this type of scenario.
Language is also going to be something to consider. If you want to go somewhere where you don't speak the language fluently, start studying now. Really, it's so difficult to become fluent in a language when you're not immersed in it. If you study it now, once you're immersed in it, it should start to come to you.
Pat and I are thinking of either staying in Italy or Spain for our sabbatical. I speak the tiniest amount of both languages, so it's going to be a bit of a struggle. But, to be honest, I'm really looking forward to the experience. I want to come back with a really strong command of a new language and this is the best way I can think to do that.
Duolingo is a great program for learning many languages. I used it before we went to Italy and although I wasn't even close to being fluent, it did help immensely. I've also started listening the the podcast 'Coffee Break Espanol' to buff up on my high school Spanish. It's a lot of fun and hosted by Mark and Kara who are Scottish, so it's like I get a little dose of Scotland and Spain in one little podcast. I listen daily on my drive to work, and I'm hoping by 2019 I'll be ready to take on the Spanish countryside!
When trying to decide where to go, using lists for best places to retire as inspiration are often a good place to start. Places end up on these list for usually a few key reasons: low cost of living, fairly safe, and decent health care. All are important factors when picking a place to live even for a short time. To get you started, here are 21 of the best places to retire in the world.
3. What will my living arrangements be?
Unless you're Oprah, you likely can't afford to stay in a hotel for your whole trip, at least most places. That means you're going to need to sort out some other arrangements. Renting an apartment or house sitting are likely to be your best options. House sitting is really nice because it's free and because you'll have everything you need. You'll likely need to do a little work: feed the dog, water the plants, mow the lawn, things like that. There are lots of companies that help you find a house sitting gig. Some of them are better than others and some specialize in certain parts of the world.
Renting an apartment can also be a great option. You'll want to find something that's furnished, and it will be an added bonus if all your utilities are included so you don't have to fuss with getting that all set up for only a few months. Finding a vacation rental can also be a great option. Look for off season rentals, so that the owner will be pleased to have some income coming in, even at a discounted rate, and it will include everything you need. Often times you can negotiate a lower rent since you'll be there long term.
This is also assuming that you're not doing a three month backpacking trip of the Appalachians…which would also be cool. There are many different scenarios for a sabbatical, it's all about figuring out which one is perfect for you.
Like I said, lots of ways to skin that cat.
4. How will you access your money?
You'll need cash on a fairly regular basis. When you're on a two week vacation, this isn't too hard to sort out, but over 3-6 months, you'll need know that you won't have any issues accessing your cash back home.
I'm a huge proponent of a Charles Schwab Checking Account. You earn interest on your balance, they don't charge you international fees for either transactions or ATM withdrawals, and they reimburse you for ATM fees issued by other banks around the world. Their customer service is awesome and I couldn't recommend them more highly. I've been using my Chalres Schwab account around the world for over 6 years and have loved it.
Whether you decide to go with them or not, you need to make sure you can get cash and spend it wherever you are going to be. Some places don't have ATMs on every corner, some places it's not easy to use a credit card. You'll likely get a better deal on the currency conversion through an ATM or through a transaction than you will through a currency conversion business. They'll charge you fees and that will add up over the course of your trip.
5. Planning for a worst case scenario
Likely things will be fine. BUT! You never know when a tropical storm, a government coup, or a car accident, or a bout with malaria will derail everything. If you are and American and are going to be abroad for your sabbatical it's important to register with the Department of State. If there's a natural disaster or some other crises, registering on this list will the them know that you are in the country and likely need assistance getting out. This is really a worst case scenario, but it's so quick and easy to enroll that it's crazy not to.
Travel insurance is also really smart. If you break your leg surfing, get malaria, have all your luggage stolen, and many other scenarios you'll be covered. It's a good idea too because sometime your standard health plan at home won't cover you when you're abroad. I usually hate buying insurance because in my head I think bad things are unlikely to happen to me, but bad things do happen to good people. When you're going to be gone that long it's definitely nice to have some peace of mind. To find a plan and a company that's right for what you'll be doing and the part of the world you'll be in, here's a list of the best travel insurance companies for 2016.
6. Who's going to keep things running smoothly at home?
If you have a pet or even a houseplant that you'd like to be cared for while you're away you need to make sure you've got a responsible person around to take care of that. Even if you have no living things depending on you, you still need someone. For what you ask? Bringing in your mail, checking on your house from time to time to make sure it hasn't burned down, a pipe hasn't burst, a tree hasn't smashed it to smithereens….or am I the only one who worries about these sorts of things?
7. Got kids?
"I can't take off to Argentina for 3 months, I have kids." While I can't confess to be an expert in travelling with kids, I do know that it is possible. Take them with you. My brother and I had to travel with my dad some for his job, and it totally worked out. If your kids are in school, check with their teacher to see how they can turn in work while they are away.
Travelling is one of the best education tools out there. Kids are sponges. Some kids might initially balk at leaving their friends for 3 months to go on this trip, but look at this way. They are likely going to come back with stories they can tell for the rest of their lives, probably speaking another language (because, let's face it, they're going to learn it faster than you), and they are now going to be citizens of the world with a better appreciation for the the things around them. I would have killed for an opportunity like that. I just started following Travel Mad Mum, about a couple travelling around the world with their baby, it's great!
8. There's going to be more!
We are just scratching the surface of the sabbatical planning ocean. As we learn some tips and tricks, we'll be sure to pass them along to you. Stay tuned here for more details.

Neil Young Waging Heavy Peace
"Waging Heavy Peace" is the remarkable memoir of rock icon Neil Young. Neil Young is a singular figure in the history of rock and pop culture in the last four decades, inducted not once but twice into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Reflective, insightful and disarmingly honest, "Waging Heavy Peace" is his long-awaited memoir. From his youth in Canada to his crazy journey out to California, through Buffalo Springfield and Crosby, Stills & Nash, to his massively successful solo career and his re-emergence as the patron saint of grunge on to his role today as one of the last uncompromised and uncompromising survivors of rock 'n' roll - this is Neil's story told in his own words.
Young presents a kaleidoscopic view of personal life and musical creativity; it's a journey that spans the snows of Ontario to the LSD-laden boulevards of 1966 Los Angeles to the contemplative paradise of Hawaii today. Along the way he writes about the music, the victims, the girls and the drugs; about his happy family life but also about the health problems he and his children have experienced; about guitars, cars and sound systems; about Canada and California and Hawaii. Candid, witty and revealing, this book takes its place beside the classic memoirs of Bob Dylan and Keith Richards.
"Wryly funny, deeply moving, painfully honest". ("Guardian"). "He's talking to you, not at you, unravelling himself as well, and you don't want it to end...You see rock and roll history from the inside out, and in the present tense". ("Independent"). "Young appears bounteous and joyful, a genuinely happy hippy...Unusually for a rock memoir, this one is almost completely angst-free". ("Sunday Times"). "Dryly hilarious ...poignant..."Waging Heavy Peace" shows that Young is still in full possession of that stubborn, brilliant, one-of-a-kind instrument". ("Rolling Stone"). "A real treat ...he writes openly and movingly abut the key figures in his life ...you feel you know Young better for reading it". ("Metro").
About Neil Young
A major hit in every decade since the Sixties, Neil Young's music and songwriting span forty years, and his 38 studio albums are among the most enduring and popular in modern times. Born and raised in Canada, long resident in California, he has, uniquely, been inducted twice into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. He is also well-known as a political activist, environmentalist and philanthropist, co-founding Farm Aid and The Bridge School for educationally impaired children.

Wild & Free — River Of Nile
We're kicking things off on a feel–good note today courtesy of Los Angeles duo Wild & Free, made up of Drew Kramer (of Les Professionnels) and George Cochrane (aka Give In). We were first tipped off to the guys through their warm weather indulgent debut EP 'Low Pressure', and a stellar remix of Ben Browning's Friends Of Mine, earlier this year. Now they're back again with a brand new two–track release entitled 'Moonhowler'. Our personal pick from the set is called River Of Nile, which comes as a balmy, blissed–out gem featuring fresh vocals and a captivating groove that has us feel as casually cool as we could hope, at least for five minutes or so.
The track and full EP are out now for free via LA label RIS Labs, pick those up here.

I was so happy when I found out a lot of people set reading goals and bloggers set blogging goals they didn't achieve!
Oh, wow. Now that I see it typed out infront of me, it sounds really mean.
Yes, yes it sounds very diabolical and surely only a super villain would say such a thing. Well I'm not a super villain
, yet. What I mean is, it didn't make me feel like a complete failure. You know that feeling when you get low marks on a test but then you find out so did the entire class, including your grade's intelectual badass? And then you're like: Huh, I didn't fail I'm just normal. Yeah, it's like that. So you see I'm not mean I'm just happy I'm in the club.
(My sister is watching One Tree Hill next to me so I apologize if I start typing out Lucas's dialogue.)
HOWEVER! (note dramatic transition) I plan on breaking free from this club. Yeah guys, it's been fun and all but I actually want to one day maybe succeed in my list of goals sometime in my life.
So here's my list of reading and personal goals I want to achieve:
I think this is pretty reasonable. I got this.
I have yet to have a geust post on my blog and I want that to change. Gunna make this the year it happens!
Ugh, the tedious work of cleaning up a blog.
Don't be a recluse, don't be a recluse, don't be a recluse. My new mantra.
This year I don't wanna focus so much on the amount of books I read (though it would be great to read a lot). This year I want to read more books that'll open up mind to new things. I want to be able to close a book and have a new or wider prospective on something. So I guess you can say I'm trying to focus more on the quality of the book.
I made a personal reading challenge this year! You can check it out in my blog post here.
Yes, I'm trying to become the next Elliot. (Mr. Robot reference anyone?) Okay, no. I just wanna learn the basics. I recently realised how important it is. Coding has been intergrated into almost every job. There's so much I could say about why I decided to learn to code (and who knows maybe I will in a later post) but it could take a while. So I'll just say, I'd like to know how programs work.
Apparently being Mexican doesn't garantee that you'll speak fluent spanish. Sorry, Abuela! (Do I get brownie points for say grandma in Spanish? How about just brownies?) So because we lived in a community where English was the main thing that was spoken, that's was what we spoke most of the time which didn't leave much room for Spanish. I really want to become fluent in Spanish.
Whether it's a water color painting, a quick sketch or even coloring, I'd like to keep that part of my brain active.
I concider myself an active person an active person; I workout 5 to 6 times a week but I still like to see it written as a goal.
Dragons are just misunderstood creature! Come to mama!

zQ. If I want to consume dairy products, eggs or meat during the tour will it be allowed?
A: We would highly dissuade you from doing that. Not only are animal products harmful to your own health but also damage the environment and involves the inhumane treatment of animals. This doesn't sit well with the ethics our organization. Think of these 21 days as a time to heal your body, to feel the world around you with an open mind.
Q. How will the blood test be conducted? Is it up to international standards?
A: The blood samples will be taken on the first and final days of the tour by a qualified nurse in the leisure of our accommodation. The samples will then be taken to a lab for testing. The results will be sent to you immediately after the tour.
Q. Are the meals going to be local recepies or will we be eating western food as well?
A: We will be tasting a lot of different cuisines on the BeAnimal journey. We will also be having cooking classes every alternate day so you can learn how to prepare these delicious meals. You can see our complete meal plan here.
Q. Will an Indian sim card be provided for me?
A: We can organize short term Indian SIM cards for our guests. They are valid for two months. You will need a photo, passport copy and to fill out a form before you can get one as per government procedure. The cost for the SIM card and the first recharge is approximately ₹600 (€8)
Q. Will there be phone reception everywhere we go?
A: Everywhere except Agonda Beach in south Goa. This place is literally paradise so you'd probably be glad to have no signal on your phone. Our accommodation does have fast Wi-Fi though.
Q. What should I bring from home?
A: We will be providing every participant with a gift bag that consists of all natural soap, shampoo and almost everything else that you could possibly need on the tour including a natural cotton yoga mat! Please bring only the essentials and try not bringing any chemicals or plastics on the tour. We have prepared a sample packing checklist just for inspiration.
Q. What will my daypack consist of?
A: Your daypack should consist of a water bottle, sunglasses, camera, notebook, pen.
Q. Will we have time for shopping?
A: Yes, you will certainly have time for shopping at all three of our destinations. Bangalore has a lot of nice shopping areas with more options and lower prices than the other places on the tour.
Q. Will we have time for independent exploration?
A: Yes, although we do have a schedule that we would like to stick to do that we can give the best value to our guests. What's the fun in travelling if you can't explore the place for yourself! You can take a look at the schedule here.
Q. Will I get some time to myself everyday?
A: Yes, personal time is an absolute necessity. We are confident you will find some time to yourself each day. You can take a look at the schedule here.
Q. Can I drink the water there?
A: No, it is inadvisable to drink tap water in India. We provide all our guests with filtered water which is safe to drink.
Q. What medicines should I bring from home?
A: Bring any prescription medications that you might need. Most common medications are easily available in India over the counter so don't worry if you forget something.
Q. Will there be a language barrier?
A: Not really. Most people we will be meeting can speak English. Learning a few words in Hindi and Kannada is great fun and would make the local people very happy.
Q. What kind of insurance do I need?
A: You will need to organize your own travel insurance. BeAnimal will not be responsible for any medical emergencies that might arise along the way.
Q. Will there be warm showers?
A: Yes, we have arranged for warm showers at all our destinations although most places will be quite warm and you most probably won't need one.
Q. Do I need to bring mosquito repellent?
A: You can pick up some mosquito repellent quite inexpensively when you arrive in India. Eucalyptus oil also works well against mosquitoes.
Q. Can children be brought on the tour as well?
Yes, feel free to bring your kids along on the BeAnimal journey. Make sure you can look after them by yourselves as there will be no babysitters on the tour.
Q. Will there be access for differentlty abled persons?
A: At this point it will be quite hard to accommodate a wheelchair and India is particularly hard country to get around for people with disabilities.
If someone can help you get around then we will be glad to have you on tour with us.
Q. Is it safe to bring a laptop on the tour?
A: Yes, of course as long as you make sure your room is locked while you are out.

A: We will try an accommodate your dietary preference if you let us know in advance.

Q. Which charities do the profits get donated to?
A: All profits from the BeAnimal tour go towards imparting education about environment and nutrition to children living in poor urban areas. We will be supporting several orphanages as well as urban permaculture initiatives. Our aim is to spread the message of peace and help mankind live in harmony with nature.
Q. Why is the BeAnimal tour a non-profit?
A: BeAnimal exists to serve the community and to stand up for what is right. We are trying to seed a revolution in thought and action. We want a clean, green world that is protected for future generations. All we are doing is creating a platform for people to come together, share knowledge and celebrate life. This is beyond value.
Q. Can I bring a pet animal along?
A: Sure you can! Just make sure you inform us beforehand so that we can make the necessary arrangements.
Q. If I want to organize a class/workshop during the tour how do I go about it?
A: Let us know what kind of workshop you want to organize! We are always on the lookout for new inspiration whether it is art, music, theatre, yoga or anything else. We will try our best to fit you in.
Q. Why is your organization called 'BeAnimal'?
A: BeAnimal is a call for us to return to a way of life that is much better for our personal health and also more sustainable for the planet. The animals aren't the ones destroying the planet so maybe we could learn a thing or two from them. If you want to read more about BeAnimal click here.
Q. What will the weather be like?
A: Mostly hot duing the day and fairly cool at night. We have prepared an overview of the weather for you here.
Q. What kind of clothes should I pack for the trip/ can I bring my bikini?
A: As much as we would like to tell you to wear what you like its a bit more complicated than that for the ladies. Err on the side of caution and dress modestly if you don't want to draw too much attention to yourself. The places we are visiting are quite touristy and locals are well accustomed to seeing people dress as they please. Definitely bring your bikini to Goa! The place is paradise! Packing list
Q. How physically demanding is the travel?
A: Not very. A person with moderate fitness should easily be able to make it through. We will be walking a good deal so make sure you can keep up!
Q. I have troubles with food addiction. Will the BeAnimal tour be able to help me?
A: Definitely. We are here to support you on your journey to break away from old habits. There is no processed or junk food on the BeAnimal tour so there is nothing to worry about.
Q. Will there be a doctor on-call during the tour?
A: We do have a doctor available to us in case of an emergency.
Q. Is it true that a plant based diet can help reverse some diseases?
A: Please refer to our section on health.
Q. Are there any expenses that are not included in the costs of the tour?
A: There are virtually no expenses that you will need to pay for except your own personal expenditures. All meals (in some tours), travel, classes and accommodation is included in the tour cost.

Impact Hub Barcelona's main target for the following years is to increase its presence in Barcelona, helping the creation and growth of Social Enterprises in the city while at the same time continue growing to maximise their impact. With this objective, the organization wants to take into consideration what are the best practices accomplished by other Hubs in the world as well as to learn from the non-successful practices. This will allow them to focus their actions and efforts towards projects and activities that have proved to be successful for the goals of Impact Hub. The specific project to be developed by the Consulting team is:
- Generate a benchmark of the best and worst practices within the global Impact Hub organisation (from a selection of Impact Hub chapters).
+ Study what actions have helped other Hubs to become successful
+ Learn from actions or projects that should be avoided by Impact Hub Barcelona
- Aggregate the information and generate a proposal on what Impact Hub Barcelona could do to increase its impact. It always has to be adapted to the specific needs of the city.
This recommendation and strategy proposal will be incorporated by the managing team of Impact Hub Barcelona to define the 2015 strategy and action plan.

Apa Itu Braxton Hicks Contraction atau His Palsu – Sebelum anda menemui tanda-tanda persalinan yang sesungguhnya, anda mungkin akan berhadapan dengan nyeri persalinan palsu yang dikenal dengan nama kontraksi Braxton Hicks atau his palsu. It is essential to concentrate to the duration and frequency of your contractions, as well as any secondary symptoms. As your cervix begins to open, you may see tinged discharge from your mucous plug, also referred to as the bloody present. Are accompanied by pain, bleeding, gush of fluids, or other secondary labor symptoms.
But make sure you go over this as your due date approaches, as she could have a unique protocol. In the second stage of labour they ease your child down through your vagina (start canal) and out. Hardly any ache, however very tight and uncomfortable. I didnt start to feel labor pain till I used to be about 9 or 10 centimeters dialated – my contractions have been coming every minute.
Realizing where to place the apostrophe can seem difficult, but there's a fairly simple rule that works with every contraction. They're so widespread that films and books often try to make characters seem old school or strange by having them never use contractions.
I still keep having some every day leaks but not convinced this is fluid as I have a weak bladder anyway. Increased vaginal discharge that's clear, pink or slightly bloody. Then you will start feeling some burning and stinging in your vaginal opening because of dialation.
I have to go to hospital for blood exams next week and another scan in a couple of weeks. However most women agree that the contractions really feel stronger as labour progresses. To determine if the contractions you're feeling are the true thing, ask yourself the next questions.

Monica Foster not only was taken to the cleaners by Las Vegas attorney Marc Randazza to the lovely tune of $166,600 but she was to never mention his name or that of his family again or risk further pain and misery. Well, Sunday evening she could have fucked herself right in the ass. Take a look:
Not sure if that qualifies but this should be forwarded to Marc so he can have a look. We are sure he has been watching her and when she slips up, things will only end up worse for her. This is a train wreck we are watching here. We will do our part and document her stupidity and hope she takes the bait as she always does being the low IQ moron that she always has been. Never any street smarts or common sense due to her pampered upbringing by her queer father and pushover of a mother.
Additionally, she made more empty physical threats on Sunday which just puts us to sleep at this point. She didn't make good on her threats when her family was outed and shamed 7 years ago (By her own hand) and she won't be doing anything now. We're not even sure who the hell she is threatening at this point? What will she do, drive mommy's car all over the country and world and visit a bunch of anonymous people one by one and with her fat, flabby out of shape body start swinging? Get real. This woman needs to get a job and a life and move on from a business that did not want her. We must admit is gets better as she gets older and more hopeless, fatter, flabbier and uglier and more desperate to hang on to whatever looks she thinks she has left.

The Lords of Dogtown is a dramatic retelling of the classic story of the zephyr boys and how they went from dogtown slumkids to the most famous and respected skaters in the world. Our Lords of Dogtown drinking game is pretty simple, just a few drinking rules to follow while watching the movie. However if you haven't seen the movie or know what happens in it you might want to ignore the second part of the drinking rules as they'll contain some spoilers.
What You'll Need
The movie Lords of Dogtown and some drinks.
The Lords of Dogtown Drinking Game Rules
Take a Sip Whenever…
- Someone bails or crashes
- Anyone is seen drinking booze or smoking weed
- Anyone says "Man" (This rule is a doozy for any scene with Skip in it)
- A trash can is knocked over
- You're reminded how poor Jay Adams is
- Someone gets punched in the face
Take a Big Chug Whenever…
(Skip these rules if you haven't seen the movie. There's a good amount of spoilers in here.)
- The crew is introduced to the urethane wheels.
- The Zephyr team is formed.
- They skate their first empty pool.
- The Zephyr boys do their first photo shoot and land their first magazine cover.
- Tony Alva leaves Zephyr.
- The pier burns down.
- It's revealed that Sid had brain cancer.
All-in-all this Lords of Dogtown drinking game can be pretty hefty since basically every scene involves someone falling over or Skip saying "man" about 4 times per sentence. So please make sure to drink responsibly and take a break if you think you need one. If you are looking for more great drinking games to old school cult classic movies check out our F.U.B.A.R. drinking game!

Federal Regulations Cost Michigan Jobs
The cost of complying with federal regulations costs the state of Michigan big according to a new study commissioned by the National Association of Manufacturers (NAM).
The study, which was conducted by economists Nicole V. and W. Mark Crain, concluded that U.S. manufacturing businesses face a disproportionate share of the cost burden at $19,564 per employee per year, that is nearly double what the average U.S. business pays to comply with federal rules.
Michigan manufacturers employing more than 565,000 men and women, the potential losses greatly deters their ability to create jobs, reinvest in local communities and most importantly stay competitive in an increasingly global market.
