Coaching – Making The Mini-vacation Standard
Coaching – Making The Mini-vacation Standard
By:http://northamericabase.com
When was the last time you employer gave you a break? I’m not talking about a trip to some tropical resort or other international location. What I am talking about is a mini vacation. These can be an important way to build sanity back into a busy day, week, month or year.
Take Tim for example. His company flies him to many locations as part of his job. He is gone from home more than five months each year. His company allows him to retain all the reward points on his compan...
When was the last time you employer gave you a break? I’m not talking about a trip to some tropical resort or other international location. What I am talking about is a mini vacation. These can be an important way to build sanity back into a busy day, week, month or year.
Take Tim for example. His company flies him to many locations as part of his job. He is gone from home more than five months each year. His company allows him to retain all the reward points on his company credit card, so he can take his family on trips. This is their way of thanking Tim for his hard work.
When Tim is at these distance centers installing networks for his company he has developed a passion for the mini-vacation. For Tim this means loading a camera bag into the rental car and traveling to a pre-determined local destination and taking dozens of photographs.
He indicates that being away from his family would be absolutely unbearable if it weren’t for the hobby he can enjoy on these mini-vacations. Early in the morning or after an install, Tim might be headed to a beach, a lighthouse or a mountaintop to capture images from across the U.S. Tim’s photo artwork now graces his home and office. Folks are even beginning to ask him for reprints.
As his skill and passion for photography increases so too does his passion for the mini-vacation. Tim realizes that work could consume him, but finding someplace to go and being able to concentrate on something other than work allows him to be a better team member and it allows him to anticipate going home to see his family when his work is done.
Prior to his discovery of the mini-vacation Tim regularly found himself resigned to his motel room with either a computer or television. To him this was neither relaxing nor refreshing. It only served to remind him of work yet to do and a family waiting for him.
You might view a mini-vacation as something as simple as a trip to a nearby coffee shop to drink a latte and read a chapter or two in a favorite book. It might mean a trip to a nearby park for jogging, Frisbee or a hike on a nature trail.
Some businesses are allowing these mini-vacations or even power naps to enable their team members to find a balance between work and personal interests. I think what interests most team leaders is that this approach can often mean increased productivity.
It may seem as though this would be an impossibility, but in an age when job satisfaction is at an unusual low the idea of allowing team members to pursue their own interests in a flexible way can allow those team members to gain an improved outlook on job satisfaction. It may likely allow those same employees to deliver an improved job performance when they understand the company really does care about the things they are most interested in.
For Tim it’s photography. What would you do on your mini vacation?

Of ‘Meese’ and Maple Leaves
Of ‘Meese’ and Maple Leaves
Because of Canada’s proximity to the United States and its similarities to
its neighbor, it ranks number 2 out of the top 10 major destinations for an
education abroad.
By: http://www.northamericabase.com
“The US is our trading partner, our neighbor, our ally and our friend… and sometimes we’d like to give them such a smack!”
- Rick Mercer
Because of Canada’s proximity to the United States and its similarities to its neighbor, it ranks number 2 out of the top 10 major destinations for an education abroad.
And just like the good ol’ red-white-and-blue, this red maple leaf has several requirements in order for you to study in its academic institutions - or at the very least, be allowed to risk riding a barrel down the Niagara Falls.
First of all, to be allowed to study in a Canadian institution, one must have a student authorization/permit.
Issued by an immigration officer, the said authorization simply means that you are allowed to remain in Canada to take an academic, professional or vocational training course at an approved university, college or other institution.
(* taken from the international education site)
What are the basic requirements for student authorization?
You must satisfy the visa officer that you meet the requirements of the Canadian Immigration Act and Regulations and that you will be in Canada for a temporary stay.
You must also:
· satisfy a visa officer that you will be able to return to your country or be admitted to another country after your studies;
· have been unconditionally accepted by an approved educational institution;
· proof that you have enough money during your stay in Canada to pay for:
- tuition fees;
- living expenses for yourself and accompanying dependants; and
- return transportation for yourself and accompanying dependants;
· be law abiding and have no record of criminal activity (you may be asked to provide a Police Clearance Certificate);
· not be a risk to the security of Canada;
· produce any additional documents requested by the visa officer to establish your admissibility;
· complete a medical examination, if required; and
· pay the fee.
~*~
When should I apply?
The time required to process an application to study in Canada may vary at different visa offices. You should apply as early as possible, and allow at least six months to plan and prepare for your move.
Note: Canadian universities suggest you apply for admission at least one year in advance of your planned arrival.
~*~
How do I apply for a student authorization?
Complete the application form, and include the fee and the documents listed below.
To complete your application you will need to know the cost of your education including tuition fees and books, medical insurance, return transportation costs and living costs for yourself and any dependants while in Canada. Living costs vary in each province.
~*~
What documents are required?
You are required to provide the following documents for yourself and any accompanying dependants:
1. Proof of acceptance
· for attendance at a university, college or technical institution, a letter from the educational institution to show:
- the name of the institution;
- confirmation of your acceptance and/or registration as a student;
- the course of study;
- the duration of the academic program; and
- the latest date you may register.
· for attendance at a primary or secondary school, a letter from the school board having jurisdiction for the school you are attending (or for private schools, a letter from the school itself), indicating:
- the name of the school;
- the level of study; and
- the duration of the course.
For attendance at an educational institution in Quebec, you will also require a “Certificat d’acceptation du Québec” (Quebec Certificate of Acceptance, or CAQ) issued by the Ministère des Relations avec les citoyens et de l’Immigration (MRCI)
2. Proof of identity
· a valid passport or travel document or identity document that guarantees re-entry to the country that issued it (citizens and permanent residents of the United States, St. Pierre and Miquelon, and Greenland do not require a passport but do require proof of status such as a national identity card or an alien registration card); and
· two recent passport size photos for each family member (the name and date of birth of the person should be written on the back of each photo).
3. Proof of financial support
· evidence that you can support yourself and accompanying dependants while you study in Canada. Such evidence may include:
- proof of a Canadian bank account in your name if money has been transferred to Canada;
- your bank statements for the past four months;
- a bank draft in convertible currency;
- proof of payment of tuition and residence fees;
- for those with a scholarship or those with a Canadian funded educational program:
proof of funding paid from within Canada;
· if foreign exchange control measures exist in your country, you must provide proof that you will be permitted by the exchange control authorities of your country to export funds for all of your expenses; and
· if additional documents are required, a visa officer will inform you.
Note: Children under 16 years of age who are travelling alone must have information (name, address, phone number) about the person or school who will be responsible for them. If the child is the subject of a custody order, proof of custody and the other parent’s consent must also be provided. Minors travelling without their parents require a letter of permission from the non-accompanying parent(s).
But, if you’re a student, wallowing in your tough, pressure-cooker-like studies and long lists of student debts, is there a way you could actually earn your keep and continue on with your scholastic pursuits?
Sit back and relax, while I fry up the next post on how to bring home the ‘Canadian’ bacon while holding a student permit.

The Best North American Snowmobile Competitions
The Best North American Snowmobile Competitions
By: http://northamericabase.com/
Since their inception several decades ago, snowmobiles have improved for better safety and performance for more adventurous snowmobilers. When first manufactured, their basic purpose made traveling across snow-covered landscapes less of a chore that what it was. But as with every produce, snowmobiles have constantly been updated and improved upon as technology and snowmobile lovers have changed. Snowmobiles have been made to go faster and other accommodations have been made to make the sport of snowmobiling more exciting and interesting. As a result, snowmobile competitions have become one of the more popular spectator sports across North America.
The most popular snowmobile competition occurs at the X Games in Aspen, Colorado. In 1998, the Snocross event was added to the roster of the X Games. At the time, it was similar to the Motocross event in that it was a lengthy course with holes and jumps. The Snocross differs from Motocross in that it is held outside and the holes and big jumps are covered in snow. Snowmobilers will enjoy watching this event as current snowmobiles can gain speeds of 70 MPH in less than 4 seconds, making the Snocross event one of the most popular events at the Winter X Games. An added event for 2007 will also be exciting for enthusiasts. The Snowmobile Freestyle event will consist of 10 riders in the first-ever snowmobile freestyle course. Riders and spectators will undoubtedly marvel at the individual runs that include jumps ranging from 45-100 feet, enabling participants to come up with bigger and more awe-inspiring tricks. As an added benefit, the X Games have become a breeding ground for events that often make their way into the Olympics, so Snowmobile Freestyle may soon become an Olympic event.
In Michigan, spectators and sportsmen alike will enjoy watching any of the events that make up a full winter schedule of snowmobiling and snow-related sports. These events often take place at various Michigan county fairgrounds and other venues. Popular snowmobile locations in Michigan are often in Upper Peninsula region of the state in cities like Mackinac, St. Ignace, and Sault Ste. Marie. But there are also places in the Lower Peninsula where the winter weather is ideal for snowmobile enthusiasts, including Cadillac, Traverse City, and Gaylord.
Annual snowmobile regional races take place throughout the northern states. In Minnesota, spectators and enthusiasts will surely enjoy the Minnesota State Championship Series. In Wisconsin, the Northwoods Challenge is a respectable and exciting snowmobile racing event as is the Rock Maple Racing Regional in New Hampshire. Canada is no stranger to snowmobiling, either. The Ski-Doo Grand Prix de Valcourt in Valcourt, Quebec is one of the more recognized and popular events in North America, although Canada is the leader in the snowmobiling and winter sport industry.
Although the X Games provides the most popular venue for snowmobile competitions, every winter there are events occurring across North America in which snowmobilers and spectators can participate. The National Snowmobile Racing Association sponsors and sanctions many of these annual events and they are often broadcast on television so the less adventurous spectators can enjoy the events from the warmth and comforts of their own home. Thanks to the popularity of the X Games, the snowmobiling industry has attracted some of the world’s top athletes and a larger group of spectators. The sport of snowmobiling is one of the more exciting events to watch and there is no sign of its popularity fading anytime soon.
