As we slowly move away from summer and into the fall, we approach dangerous couple of months with regards to where we are in our lives, both physically and emotionally. What generally happens is that there is a summer come down, the warm weather goes, the nights draw in, and everything begins to change. In the knowledge that Christmas is just around the corner, which is followed by NYE, it can be easy for us to settle into a couple of months of comfort, before reviewing our lives ahead of the new year. This year however, we won’t do that, this is the year that we will be invigorated and use September like it was the very first month of the year. Let’s use this September to set and get started on some important life goals, and here is how you can start.
Dream Board
The dream boat is a great way for you to get started with your goals planning, and you can really use it to inspire and motivate you further down the road. The idea of a dream board is simple, a notice board which acts as a reminder for you to, as to what it is that you are working towards. Take a day and put your dream board together, think about all of the things that you want to achieve in life, find something that represents that visually such as photo or a piece of writing, and then put it all together on your board.
Just Doing It
We can all be very good at putting up obstacles as to why we can’t do something that we say we would like to, but let’s make this September the month that we just go ahead and do it. For example if you have always wanted to play a musical instrument, go find some deals on music instruments, download some teaching apps or hire someone, and just get started. If we are all honest with ourselves, we know what we want to do, more often than not we all know how, so let’s just get it done this month.
Using Christmas
The best way to look at this time of year is not with an eye on relaxing and planning to change once we get to the end of the year, but rather to get a head start on everyone else. Imagine if you get to New Years, and you are already well into your resolutions, imagine having lost weight before christmas and then being able to enjoy it guilt free. The best part about getting started with your life goals now, is that come next year, you are going to be even more pumped than you usually would be, because you are already making headway.
Life doesn’t operate in seasons when it comes to completing your goals, get them listed, inspire yourself and go make this September the beginning of the next chapter.
If you have some travel coming up then the key to the success of your journey will be how well you plan ahead. Of course getting the destination sorted out and actually making your travel plans will be the most important aspect, but beyond that you need to ensure that you have got your prep just right. Thankfully we live in a world where we can access travel docs on the go, and buy anything which we may have forgotten to take, when we arrive at the destination. In spite of this however, to minimize your stress levels, here are 5 things which you should get on top of ahead of your travels.
Chargers
You will no doubt be taking all manner of tech with you when you go away, from phones to laptops, tablets to cameras, and you need to make sure that they are juiced up. Many of us rely on our gadgets to keep us on track with our travels, so make sure that you don’t forget to take any chargers with you.
Visa
Prior to leaving home you must check to see whether or not you need a visa for your chosen destination. In many cases obtaining a visa can be as simple as filling out a form online, but nonetheless you should ensure that you have completed this. If you don’t have a visa you could be denied access to a country which is why you must arrange it beforehand.
Airport Transfer
If you are flying then it makes sense for you to arrange an airport transfer prior to your journey, so that you will be the one who is relaxed and casual when you step off the plane, safe in the knowledge that someone is waiting for you. If you are staying in a hotel then speak with them to arrange a transfer, alternatively look for a private transfer service who can take you safely to your destination.
Cash
Many people like to wait until they arrive at their destination to get their foreign money, but it actually makes more sense to do so before you go, at least some of it. First of all it makes everything far more comfortable if you arrive at the destination with some foreign currency in hand, secondly you generally get cheaper rates and finally you rarely have to pay commission, something which you will when you are abroad.
Paper
You may very well have all of your important information on your phone or downloaded to your tablet, but it still makes sense to take paper copies with you as well. Phones and tablets are high risk possessions when it comes to theft, and there is never a guarantee that these devices may not get damaged or stop working, which could land you in bother in terms of your travel docs. Keep them on your gadgets by all means, but it also makes sense to have some traditional paper copies with you, just in case.
Have a great time on your trip, remember the essentials and you’ll be just fine.

If you have money sitting in a savings account or a large sum which will be coming to you soon, have you considered investing it? The saying that money breeds money is certainly true and having cash sitting around is not a great idea. The best course of action here is to use the money that you have to grow more wealth, doing so through investments. Today we are going to look at one particular investment opportunity which many people have profited from, and one which you can too, that is the precious metal of gold. Naturally, with any investment, it is vital that you understand everything that you can about the asset and the market which impacts its price. When it comes to gold, much as been said about using super cycles to read the commodity, so let’s have a deeper look at how you can amass the knowledge that you need.
Super Cycle
A super cycle is a very simple measuring tool which covers a long period of time when a commodity such as wheat, oil or copper, are at very heightened prices. A super cycle is over when the price drops back down to realistic levels, or worse still, it crashes. Occasionally, as is the case with gold, a super cycle can also refer to a long period of low prices, before picking back up again.
State of Gold
If you get the live price of gold, you will likely see something like $1,200, a long way from when it peaked in 2011 at $1,900. Since that time, gold has crashed a great deal and is slowly but surely coming back up in price. Wells Fargo Investment group suggest that gold will stay in this super cycle for another 5 years before the price gets anywhere near its 2010/11 figures providing a good opportunity for investment.
Learning About Prices and Super Cycles
As a first time investor there are a huge amount of resources which you can use to learn more about super cycles, particularly the gold super cycle. One of the best ways of doing so is to follow industry experts and take their opinions on it, when doing so it is vital that you take a huge cross reference of different advices, and then use those to make up your own mind. Alternatively there are a great many tutorials on sites such as YouTube, which you can use to follow and track the live prices, and predictions for the future. Finally another way to boost your knowledge and grow in confidence, is to use a simulation to get started with investments. These simulations will give you X amount of money to invest, and then you can play with this false money, but investing based on realtime prices. Using these simulations are the best way to prepare yourself for the real market.
Gold has been making money for people for many years now, time to get in on the action.
Something that has always puzzled me about bachelor parties that I have been on, was their insistence on spending it in a nightclub. This is not to say that I don’t enjoy going to the club, on the contrary in fact, but we can do that just about any weekend that we choose, and a bachelor party should be celebrated as the special event that it really is. If you are going to be the best man for one of your friends ahead of their upcoming nuptials, we have a few ideas for you which will ensure an epic bachelor party, without needing a night club.
Olympics
Last year I went to a brilliant bachelor party which was essentially a mini-Olympic games. Of course when we refer to Olympic, the only similarities are probably the medals which were handed out, as the events were very different. The beauty of spending a day like this with your friends is that you can all indulge in stupid and at-times, dangerous games, whilst enjoying a drink, a laugh, and some heavy competition. The events are completely up to you and the group, you could even organize an axe-throwing tournament!
Sporting Adventures
The competition doesn’t have to be an Olympic-style event, you could still get some sporting kicks by heading out on an adventure day with your troop. some great ideas which fall under this category are to go paint balling, play some laser tag or even head out on some go karts. These adventures are brilliant because they take everyone out of their comfort zone, and also you get to mix people who may not know each other too well. Make sure that if you plan on taking on something like this, that you plan well ahead of time because big groups often need to reserve well in advance. If the aforementioned options don’t tickle your fancy, you could always look at something such as raft building or team building activities that are similar. Most companies that offer team building activities work with corporations, so you may have to spread your net far to find the right people to help you out.
Gaming Days
Strangely, one of the best days that I have spent on a bachelor party was a gaming day, despite not thinking I would enjoy it. If you and the boys are into video games, why not set up a gaming centre where you have a range of consoles and games, with a competition model set up. Split the boys into teams, get some food and refreshments in, and then start early in the morning, and game until you fingers don’t work anymore. I honestly thought that I wouldn’t enjoy a party like this, but when done right, it can go off brilliantly!
Don’t just go to the club when the time comes to organize a bachelor party, think outside of the box and let your imagination run wild, there are many options in front of you.

If you’re considering having your home built on wetland, or if you’re a contractor building a home in wet, unstable conditions, you’ll probably need to make use of bog mats during construction. Bog mats allow for easier construction on wetland, as they allow you to create temporary roadways that make transporting materials more convenient while also preventing any damage to the environment. Here are a few of the ways in which bog mats and similar products can allow for easier building in wetland areas:
Convenient Pathways:
The biggest advantaging of using bog mats, also called swamp mats or wetland mats, is that you can build a temporary pathway across swamps, bogs, or other waterlogged areas. The mats are versatile because they come in a variety of sizes and thicknesses, can be stacked on top of each other, and are extremely durable. They’re strong enough to drive vehicles over and can be easily removed once construction is finished.
Reduce Surface Damage:
One problem with building a home on unstable ground is that heavy loads passing over the ground’s surface can damage both the turf itself as well as any below-ground utilities, such as water lines or other piping. This is where swamp mats come in. Any reliable type of swamp mat, such as the Durabase bog mats offered by distributors such as JWA oilfield supplies, will be heavy-duty enough to allow the transportation of even the heaviest loads with minimal surface damage and without damaging sub-surface utilities.
Protect the Environment:
Wetland areas tend to have a diverse and numerous cast of plant and animal life, which makes construction in these areas potentially disastrous for local ecosystems. Bog mats can be used to protect not only the ground and any plants growing in it, but also to keep all traffic on a straight, reliable path to minimize the disruption caused by home construction. Without a clear path to follow, construction vehicles and foot traffic are likely to use a wider area going to and from the site, which leads to more potential damage to natural habitats.
To make construction on wetlands easier and more convenient and protect local ecosystems, utilizing swamp mats during home construction is the wisest choice. Protecting these ecosystems, many of which are under federal conservation regulations, is important, just as important as ensuring that construction isn’t derailed by structural issues. The variety of types and sizes of swamp mats makes them suitable for any watery conditions, and their durability allow for maximum efficiency and environmental protection alike.
If you want to improve your security and privacy while on the internet, make use of a VPN. In this time and age, everyone should be using a VPN. The reason is that in a world whereby everyone is on the internet, security is paramount. Nowadays most people are always on their phones or their computers. Here is why you should use a VPN at home:
1. You can be able to download torrents.
People use torrents to download pirated movies. Some other people use it for legal reasons. Internet providers have a hard time knowing who is doing the right thing. As a result, they end up restricting all users from downloading torrents. If you use a VPN, it becomes tough for your internet service provider to discover you are the one downloading torrents.
2. You will be able to bypass your government’s internet censorship.
Some countries do not offer free internet to their citizens. A good example is China’s Great Firewall. Such nations limit internet access and block specific websites. In most cases, the sites that are restricted are harmless. Therefore, if you want to break this barrier, get yourself a stable VPN.
3. Your voice chats will be private and secure.
Voice-over-IP (VOIP) applications do not allow encryption of chats. As a result, your online chats may be overheard. Since you do not want that, a VPN can deal with that. If you are using Skype, the moment you enable your VPN, your conversation will be between you and the other party.
4. You will get full access to Netflix.
The main reason why people pirate content is that they do not get access to streaming sites like Netflix and Hulu. Such websites have copyright agreements that deny people access. If you love watching movies, a VPN can solve this issue. Since a VPN can change the IP address of your computer, you are free to access all the content available on Netflix.
5. Google will not be able to track you.
People love Google because it is free and easily accessible. What people do not know is that Google knows everything them. Google stores all your information when you browse. To avoid any form of embarrassment, get a VPN and hide your IP address.
6. Your privacy is a right.
Nowadays, using a VPN is becoming a basic internet practice. Even if you are an ordinary citizen and think that you have nothing to hide, a VPN can be helpful. In case you are looking for a stable VPN, consider visiting VPNs R Us. You will be able to review a variety of VPNs, and select the best one for you.
Conclusion
A VPN is not all about video streaming and downloads; it is more than that. Take your time and research all the available VPNs online. Make privacy your priority when you are online.
If you have been diagnosed with premature ejaculation or it is something that you know you suffer from, then you should realise that this is not a permanent part of your life. It is a treatable problem, and we are going to discuss some things you can do treat it as well as what changes you may need to make in your life until you get it under control.
Treating PE
First of all, let’s look at some treatments. Please keep in mind that the same treatment may not work for everyone. One of the simplest and most common methods is the squeeze and release method. This involves the two sexual partners getting the male’s penis erect and ready to ejaculate, and then squeezing the head of the penis until the sensation goes away. Then do this a few more times, and hopefully, over time, you should be able to control the sensation more easily.
There is some oral medication you can take as well. These may be analgesics or antidepressants that decrease stimulation and make you less likely to be overly stimulated to the point where you cannot control your ejaculation. In other words, they make it so that it takes more sexual stimuli to get you erect and ready to ejaculate.
Counselling sessions are another good way to treat this condition. If you talk about your problem and discuss your relationship with your partner and with a therapist, you may be able to uncover what is causing the premature ejaculation. The reason isn’t always apparent, and it is not always a physical impetus, so finding out the details and getting to the bottom of it may only be possible through counselling sessions.
Living with PE
It can be difficult dealing with PE at first, but you need to realize that it is going to change your life and that there are things you can do to cope with the situation.
First of all, you need to let your partner know about the problem. Even if you just suspect that you have a PE issue, you should inform your partner so that that person can help.
Then you need to be understanding if your partner wants to wait for intercourse until you get the issue sorted out. Remember that this is a treatable condition and not one that you have to be stuck with for the rest of your life. Also remember that intercourse is a mutual experience, and if your partner isn’t comfortable with it while you are struggling with PE, then you need to be able to handle that outcome.
Next, you will want to make sure you receive treatment. You are not like to get better until you undergo some sort of treatment. Whether you go to a doctor or a therapist, you do need to have this condition treated before it becomes worse or starts affecting your life more severely.
You should also be practising techniques that will make it easier to control your ejaculation. One method is to masturbate a few hours before your intercourse, that way, you won’t be as quick to ejaculate. You could also perform pelvic floor exercise that strengthen your muscles and give you more control over what your pelvic muscles do.
You could try to increase your sexual activity a bit more as well. This is only a good idea with a committed partner, but increased sexual activity can help you to normalize intercourse and make sure that you are less likely to ejaculate prematurely.
You may need to try a combination of these methods to get something to work for you, because your PE can be slightly different from someone else’s.
