The ancient rock fortress of Sigiriya, Lion Rock
I am thrilled and honoured to invite you on one of the richest and most inspiring pilgrimages you could make in the world today – a pilgrimage into the sacred heart of Sri Lanka, and into the healing depths of its traditions, of Buddhist meditation and art and Ayurvedic healing. Sri Lanka, for all the turbulence of its recent history, remains not only one of the most sheerly – even surreally – beautiful places on earth, but also one of the most authentically magical, a place where the refined and exalted vision of both Buddhism, and to a lesser extent Hinduism, has created a sacred culture of great beauty which is still vibrant and alive.
The ancient structure of Polonnaruwa Vatadage
I spent three months in Sri Lanka when I was 25, at the end of the 1970s. I had taken a year off from my fellowship at All Souls College Oxford to explore Buddhism on the Indian subcontinent: I had read for years about the ancient Buddhist cities of Polonnaruwa and Anuradhapura and was passionate to experience them firsthand. I had in fact been hungry to visit Sri Lanka ever since I saw, as a child, coloured photographs of its beaches – long scimitar beaches of white sand glinting in rich red gold light, so extravagantly beautiful they looked hardly real.
We'll enjoy three days at one Sri Lanka's beautiful beaches
Sri Lanka proved far more than I ever could have expected. Nothing less than a revelation that inspired my first novel, set in Sri Lanka, titled One Last Mirror. I had expected to be excited by the beauty of the country; I had not expected the beauty of Sri Lanka's beaches and ruins and green flowering hills to be so astounding that it began to birth in me a wholly new and praise-filled relationship with the creation. I had always admired the holy precision and rigour of Buddhism, but it was in Sri Lanka that I encountered nakedly the transcendent compassion at the heart of the Buddhist message, radiating from the flower-like faces of the Sri Lankan people, and the sublime sculptures of Polonnaruwa and Anuradhapur. The purity and exalted pragmatism of the most ancient tradition Buddhism – Hinayana Buddhism – that is still practiced in Sri Lanka steadied my being in a way that humbled me and began in me a lifelong love for the transforming power of spiritual practice.
Now almost forty years later I will be returning to Sri Lanka with you. I was blessed enough to explore the island in depth when I visited all those years ago, and the tour Sacred Earth Journeys has prepared for us is, to my mind, the perfect, balanced in-depth introduction to the glories I discovered then and long to share with you now.
Monks at the Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic in Kandy
You will be able to read the lush and wonder-filled itinerary for yourselves and begin to experience a taste of the feast that awaits you. There are three linked aspects of what I pray I can offer you that I want to emphasize.
The first is that I will give you as rich and comprehensive vision of Buddha and Buddhism as I can and will ground our whole journey together in three essential Hinayana practices – Imageless Meditation or Vipassana, Metta, the practice of unconditional universal compassion and Noting, the practice of becoming minutely conscious of your physical and subtle body.
The second aspect of what I want to offer is that I want to share with you the depth of my love for the revelation of sacred art and sacred living that visiting the cities of Anuradhapura and Polonnaruwa first opened in me forty years ago.
Buddhism in Sri Lanka is represented everywere
The third part of my offering will be something that is hard to express. What I'm hoping to offer you are simple and powerful ways of experiencing the various forms of Sri Lanka's astonishing beauty from a conscious inner divine perspective.
As Anandamayi Ma, the great Indian teacher, said, "The true pilgrim is one who seeks darshan – that energy which emanates from the holy. To be a pilgrim is to be always ready for the miracle which overtakes you, to glimpse the hem of God's robe." Sri Lanka is a land of subtle miracles. May we be receptive to them together and "glimpse the hem of God's robe" in ways that permanently transform our lives.

Arrive Colombo; Blessing Ceremony with Buddhist Chants (B, D) Read more
Ayubowan! Welcome to Sri Lanka where you will be met at the Colombo airport and transferred to your resort hotel in Negombo (30-minute drive). Your senses are immediately awakened by the tropical air of this island, filled with sweet aromas of the araliya flowers and delicious spices. At your hotel, lie back on a lounger next to the outdoor pool and look out at the Ma Oya river and forest beyond. Freshen up after your flight in your room, professionally designed using Neem wood, which is very well known for its Ayurveda healing properties. Depending on your arrival time, you can explore the charming beach town of Negombo, also known as "Little Rome" for its white glistening churches and active fishing.
In the evening, take part in a group orientation and briefing about the journey to come, followed by a beautiful blessing ceremony with traditional Buddhist chanting. Then, enjoy traditional Sri Lankan cuisine at a Welcome Dinner as you get to know your fellow travellers and tour leader.
(Overnight in Negombo at the Karuna Karala or similar)
Mon, Mar 2
Anuradhapura; Meditation with Buddhist Monk (B) Read more
After breakfast this morning, we will check out and begin our journey inland toward the Northern-most point of the Cultural Triangle, Sri Lanka's first ancient capital, Anuradhapura (4.5-hour drive). En route, we can make an optional stop at the Ananthaya Resort in Chilaw for a delicious lunch (at own expense), before continuing on to the Palm Garden Village resort, our tranquil base for the next three nights. The hotel is situated on a secluded 50-acre plot of land that was originally used for chena cultivation, and has been replanted over the past 25 years to create a lush, wildlife-friendly landscape with a mango orchard, medicinal Kohomba trees and much more. Relax in your air-conditioned room before taking a gentle stroll around the grounds, spot the myriad of birds or perhaps an elephant drinking from the property's water tanks.
This evening we will learn about the Theravada tradition of Buddhism as practiced in Sri Lanka since its introduction to the island more than 2,500 years ago, and join an evening meditation session with a Buddhist monk.
(Overnight in Anuradhapura at the Palm Garden Village or similar)
Ruwanweli Seya Stupa; Sri Maha Bodhi Tree (B, L) Read more
Breakfast at the hotel before making our way to the Ruwanweli Seya stupa for a guided almsgiving ceremony. Often referred to as the Maha Stupa or Mahathupa, this smooth white hemispherical building enshrines a significant amount of Lord Buddha's relics. One of the largest structures in the ancient world at almost 340ft tall, the construction of this sacred building was commissioned by King Dutugamunu and realized by Arhats. Lord Buddha himself predicted the building of a great stupa at this very location.
Lunch today (included in tour price) is at the Forest Rock Garden resort where you can savour authentic Sri Lankan spices while breathing in the magnificent views of nature and admiring the stone sculptures on the 50-acre property.
At sunset, we head back into Anuradhapura to the Sri Maha Bodhi sacred fig tree in Mahamewna Gardens, the oldest living human-planted tree in the world, dating from 288BC. It is thought to be the southern branch from the Sri Maha Bodhi at Bodhgaya, India under which Lord Buddha attained enlightenment. Here we will experience a guided monk's robe offering ceremony to further understand the significance of both cloth and trees in Buddhism.
Wed, Mar 4
Anuradhapura Sacred Sites Pilgrimage (B) Read more
Fuel up on a delicious breakfast this morning ahead of a pilgrimage to eight sacred sites within the ancient city of Anuradhapura. Abayagiriya (Abhayagiri Vihara) is an important ancient Theravada Buddhist monastic centre built by King Vaá¹á¹agamaṇi Abhaya (29–17BC), and is still one of the most sacred Buddhist pilgrimage cities in the nation. Gilt bronze or burnt clay roof tiles adorned this mound-shaped sacred building that remains one of the most extensive ruins in the world. We will also visit the bell-shaped Tuparamaya (Thuparamaya) stupa, the Mirisawetiya stupa and the Jethawanaramaya stupa where a part of a sash or belt tied by the Buddha is believed to be enshrined.
After our guided tour there will be free time for relaxation or personal meditation back at the hotel.
Thu, Mar 5
Mihintale; Sigiriya; Walking Meditation in Ritigala (B, L) Read more
Breakfast then check out this morning as we make our way to Sigiriya, with a stop at Mihintale, the site of the first monastery in Sri Lanka and considered the cradle of Buddhism in the country. It was here that in the 3rd Century BC Arhat Mahinda met King Devanam Piyatissa and converted him to Buddhism. Mihintale later became the abode of some 3,000 monks, and the Sela Catiya and the surrounding monk cave dwellings are all found in the temple complex. At this mountain-peak pilgrimage site, a stairway of 1840 wide steps leads from the bottom of the rock to the summit. The Urna Lome, the sacred hair relic, is said to be enshrined in Sela Cetiya.
Enjoy a relaxing picnic lunch (included in tour price) by the "black waters" pond of the nearby Kaludiya Pokuna. We then continue on to the site of the Ritigala Forest monastery where we will participate in a guided walking meditation in the jungle through ancient trees whose branches weave in the forest floor and, if we're lucky, an elephant to bless our way.
On arrival at our hotel, relax in your air-conditioned room or pull up a lounge chair next to the outdoor pool to capture some of your experiences so far in your journal.
(Overnight in Dambulla at the Amaya Lake Dambulla or similar)
Fri, Mar 6
Polonnaruwa; Gal Viharaya Rock Temple (B, L) Read more
During our time in Sigiriya we will continue to explore the principal sites of Sri Lanka's Cultural Triangle. This morning after breakfast we explore the ancient citadel of Polonnaruwa, now a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the country's second capital after the destruction of Anuradhapura in 993. Here we will visit the Gal Viharaya rock temple to see the striking stone sculptures, crafted with incredible skill and artistry during the reign of King Parakrabahu. Four rock relief statues of Buddha in various poses – Samadhi (meditation), sitting, standing and reclining – carved onto a rock face are a highlight of our visit.
Lunch today (included in tour price) will be at a local countryside tavern, and we will also have the option of renting bikes at Polonnaruwa for an excursion (at own expense).
Sat, Mar 7
Sigiriya Rock Climb; Aluvihare Temple; Kandy; Theva Ceremony (B) Read more
An early breakfast this morning as we start the day with a climb of the iconic Sigiriya Rock, where King Kasyapa built a royal residence in the second half of the 5th Century.
The complex comprises remnants of the ruined palace, surrounded by an extensive network of fortifications, gardens, ponds, canals, alleys and fountains. Views over the jungle from the top are simply breathtaking. (Please note – the climb takes apx. two hours in total. Good walking shoes are recommended – although you will see local children climbing barefoot! Please contact us if you have any concerns about the climb.)
After our climb, we continue on our journey to Kandy, stopping at the magnificent Aluvihare rock temple, where the Pāli Canon was first written down completely in text on ola (palm) leaves, and which still contains the complete Tripitaka library of Buddha's all-encompassing teachings. Then, proceed to Kandy via a winding mountainous road that will allow you to witness the spectacular beauty of Sri Lanka's landscapes.
Check in to your hotel and spend a few moments breathing in the views of Kandy city, the misty mountain peaks and verdant landscape. Watch the day gently give way to evening from the outdoor pool terrace as you become enveloped in the hotel's calming energy, ready for a "Theva" ceremony showcasing the bejewelled chamber containing the Sacred Tooth Relic of the Lord Buddha.
(Overnight in Kandy at the Amaya Hills or similar)
Sil Observance at Paramitta Buddhist Monastery (B, L) Read more
Enjoy more of those stunning views this morning as you tuck into an early breakfast at the hotel. We will then travel to the Paramitta Buddhist temple, a secluded monastery, to experience a day in the life of a monk, learning first-hand more about Buddhism as it is still practiced today in Sri Lanka.
Our full-day (8:30am-4:00pm) "Sil" Observance Program transports us away from the busyness of everyday life and our day-to-day routines towards a simpler, more spiritually connected experience. We will observe the canons of Buddhist teachings; listen to a recital of Buddhist prayers, Dhamma talks, and pujas; and join in with sutra chanting, guided meditations as well as walking and silent meditations. A modest temple lunch and tea are included. This is a wonderful opportunity to deepen our spiritual awareness and understanding of Sri Lanka's sacred past and present.
We then return to our hotel for a free evening with time to further contemplate our day's experiences.
Kelaniya Temple; Colombo; Koggala Beach (B) Read more
Breakfast and check out this morning as we drive to the bustling ocean-city of Colombo. We will make a stop just outside the city at the sacred Kelaniya temple, which was hallowed by Lord Buddha during his third and final visit to Sri Lanka eight years after enlightenment. According to the great chronicle the "Mahavamsa", the original stupa of this sacred temple enshrined a gem-studded throne on which Lord Buddha sat and preached. A sacred place of worship, this temple is also well known for its historical wall paintings that depict remarkable events in his life.
In Colombo we will enjoy a short city tour of the main attractions including the Gangaramaya temple, Independence Memorial, and Town Hall.
We then continue past Galle to our beach-front hotel in Wadduwa. Set on the quiet shores of Wadduwa Beach, The Villas Wadduwa offers a lavish gateway in a culturally rich seaside town. Intimate yet family-friendly, the elegant resort offers 32 villas inspired by the destination's colonial heritage. Close to the town's many attractions and with an array of picturesque dining venues with breathtaking views, our Wadduwa resort is truly a destination of its own.
(Overnight in Wadduwa at The Villas Wadduwa or similar)
Tue, Mar 10
Beach Day (B) Read more
Linger over your breakfast this morning as your day is at leisure to explore the resort and beach, quite literally steps from your hotel. Walk barefoot on the golden sand and, after a swim in the calm sea, lie back, relax and finish that novel or leaf through one of the new books you've picked up on your journey.
Restore inner harmony to your body and mind with an array of traditional treatments offered at the hotel spa (at own expense).
Galle Fort; Farewell Dinner (B, D) Read more
Enjoy another leisurely breakfast as your morning is free to fully enjoy the hotel's serene setting.
In the afternoon, visit the historic Galle Fort, built by the Portuguese in 1588 before being extensively fortified by the Dutch in the mid 1600s. After the visit, stroll the charming Galle streets lined with boutiques and restaurants. This is the perfect occasion to do some last-minute shopping for artisanal souvenirs, unique jewellery items and some delicious Ceylon tea.
This evening, join fellow travellers for a Farewell Dinner and fondly look back over the journey, the sacred sites you have visited and the engaging discussions you have been part of.
Farewell to Paradise; Depart Colombo (B) Read more
By now you'll fully understand why Marco Polo described Sri Lanka as the most beautiful island in the world. Enjoy your final breakfast as you prepare to bid farewell to the island, your tour leader and newfound friends, packing away unforgettable memories along with your clothes and keepsakes to take back home with you.
Transfer to Colombo airport for your return flight home.

When David Barnish, a holidaymaker from the U.K., won last week a 1000 euros compensation from the well known tour operator Thomson for a 5000 euros unhappy holiday in Kos, could not imagine that he was to be the cause of a bitter comments exchange between two of the the major European tabloids, The Sun and the Bild.
During the court procedure Thomson agreed that the firm's brochure was misleading, failing to make clear that the hotel was catered for a mainly German clientele. This decision of the Small Claims Court may create a precedence of litigation against tourist operators.

A German expression in English is a German loanword, term, phrase, or quotation incorporated into the English language.
A loanword is a word borrowed from a donor language and incorporated into a recipient language without translation. It is distinguished from a calque, or loan translation, where a meaning or idiom from another language is translated into existing words or roots of the host language.
Some of the expressions are relatively common e. In many cases the loanword has assumed a meaning substantially different from its German forebear.
English and German both are West Germanic languages , though their relationship has been obscured by the lexical influence of Old Norse and Norman French as a consequence of the Norman conquest of England in on English as well as the High German consonant shift.
In recent years, however, many English words have been borrowed directly from German. Most of these words will be recognized by many English speakers; they are commonly used in English contexts.
Some, such as wurst and pumpernickel , retain German connotations, while others, such as lager and hamburger , retain none.
Not every word is recognizable outside its relevant context. A number of these expressions are used in American English, under the influence of German immigration, but not in British English.

Breatharian Couple 'Barely Ate' in 9 Years - Survives on 'the Universe's Energy' Instead of Food
By Lauren Windle, TheSun.co.uk
A "Breatharian" mom and dad of two have barely eaten for nine years as they live off "the universe's energy."
Husband and wife Akahi Ricardo and Camila Castello believe that food and water aren't necessary and humans can be sustained solely by the energy of the universe.
Castello and Ricardo — who have a 5-year-old son and 2-year-old daughter together — have survived on little else besides a piece of fruit or vegetable broth just three times per week since 2008.
And Castello even practiced a Breatharian pregnancy — not eating anything during the entire nine months that she carried her first child.
The married couple of nine years claim that their "food-free lifestyle" has improved their health and emotional well-being as well as letting them spend money on traveling rather than the weekly groceries.
Castello, 34, who lives between California and Ecuador with her husband, explained:
"Humans can easily be without food — as long as they are connected to the energy that exists in all things and through breathing."
"For three years, Akahi and I didn't eat anything at all and now we only eat occasionally like if we're in a social situation or if I simply want to taste a fruit."
"With my first child, I practiced a Breatharian pregnancy. Hunger was a foreign sensation to me, so I fully lived on light and ate nothing."
"My blood tests during all three trimesters were impeccable and I gave birth to a healthy baby boy."
"Since Breatharianism, I feel healthier and happier that I've ever done before.
"When I was younger, my weight fluctuated but now after having two children, my body bounced back to its natural shape immediately. I never suffer from PMS symptoms anymore and I feel more emotionally stable."
Husband Ricardo, 36, believes that Breatharianism is the ideal way to slash people's food bills.
Ricardo — who teaches courses about Breatharianism along with Castello — explained:
"There is a freedom that comes with not being attached or dependent on food."
"Obviously, our living costs are a lot less than most families and that has allowed us to spend our money on things that really matter like traveling and exploring together."
"It's given us a clear sense of what we want in life. Anyone can live a Breatharian lifestyle and feel the benefits.
"It's not about never eating food again, it's about understanding cosmic nourishment (not just physical nourishment) and living without limits."
The couple met in 2005 and got married three years later, and later that year they discovered Breatharianism through a friend.
The pair had to slowly work their way from vegetarianism to a vegan diet and then to just eating fruit before starting the "21 Day Breatharian Process."
In this process, during the first seven days, nothing is consumed except air; for the next seven days, some water and diluted juice; and for the last seven days, diluted juice and water.
Ricardo said:
"The 21 Day Breatharian Process was a powerful one and steppingstone into realizing the infinite potential that lies within.
"It led us to explore the breath and its presence within our lives, showing us that we could easily be without food as long as we had air. I used to eat a lot — but I haven't felt hungry since that process in 2008."
For the next three years, the couple did not eat solid food at all — even through Castello's first pregnancy in 2011.
These days they have relaxed the rules slightly, occasionally eating so that they can share the experience with their two children.
Castello explained:
"I was completely open to changing my food-free lifestyle when I first became pregnant because my child came first. But I just never felt hungry, so I ended up practicing a fully Breatharian pregnancy.
"I didn't feel the need or desire to eat solid food during the entire nine months and so I only ate five times, all of which were in social situations."
"And I knew my son would be nourished enough by my love and this would allow him to grow healthily in my womb. I went for regular pregnancy checkups and my doctor confirmed the above-average growth of a very healthy baby boy."
"After I gave birth to my son, I wanted to be able to explore the joy of food in small quantities with my children as they grew."
"So during my second pregnancy, I ate a bit of fruit or vegetable broth during the nine months. It was still a lot less than the recommended intake for a pregnant woman, but I gave birth to a healthy daughter."
"Now, Akahi and I eat very sporadically — perhaps three or four times per week at the most. I might have a few vegetables, a juice or a bite of an apple with my children. Sometimes we have a glass of water too."
"Whenever I eat now, it's not because I'm hungry — I just don't remember that sensation."
The couple's children aren't forced to practice Breatharianism — although the couple insists that their kids understand the practice.
"Our children are aware of Breatharianism and the energy that exists in the universe and in themselves."
"But we would never try to change them and we let them eat whatever they want — whether that be juices, vegetables, pizza or ice cream!"
"We want them to explore the different tastes and have a healthy relationship with food as they grow."
"It would be unfair to impose Breatharianism upon our children now, but maybe as they grow, they will get deeper into the practices."

Today (July 13th 2017) The UK has a new Prime Minister. Theresa May has emerged as PM after the recent bloodletting in the Conservative party following the EU referendum.
It's worth reflecting on the last few weeks in British politics. Now I know this has been done by many people in many ways, but I'm interested in looking at these events from a leadership perspective.
In this blog post, I will focus on the events in the Conservative party. Who is our new PM and what are her values? I will look at the Labour party in a separate post.
By definition, leadership is about persuading people to follow you. There is a debate about how our next PM was decided upon. In the end, May was the last woman standing, as previous candidates to lead the Conservative party fell by the wayside, either through their own choice or that of their party. So, actually, nobody has directly chosen May to be PM. That said, it is within the constitution and May feels she has sufficient mandate that she has stated she does not feel the need to call a general election to get one. Although May made a speech on Monday outlining her philosophy, nobody actually voted for it! All of this presents May with her first challenge; how to inspire people to follow her.
A profile in The Guardian describes May as "unpredictable and moralistic". She is also seen as a detail person and someone who struggles to delegate. Think micromanagement. This attention to detail is going to be important going forward, especially in leading the negotiations for "Brexit". Don't be surprised if May takes her time in appointing the cabinet; in common with many politicians, she displays the cautious low emoting analytical style. Relatively risk-averse, it is more important to get it right than it is to get it done quickly. In social types terms, May is definitely more task focused than people focused. She is described as hard to get to know, sharing little personal information. She is not interested in gossip. This could be either the driving style or analytical style. It is the measured delivery and softer tones that suggest the latter for me.
All 3 points highlight May's priorities, but it is point 1 that gives the most insight into her values. May is a believer in "One-Nation Conservatism"and point one is an effective definition of what that is. It will be interesting to see how this belief is translated into action, and this is vital if she is to meet the aspirations of points 2 and 3.
UK politics has undergone a seismic shift over the last few years. The surprise with which the Brexit win was received confirmed that large parts of the population have become disillusioned with the norm or the "establishment". It started with the rise of UKIP and the coincidental fall of the labour party since 2010. This led to the first peace time coalition government in generations. Labour responded by moving more to the left. The two leading political parties are further apart in their philosophies than they have been for 40 years. In the 1990s they competed for the centre ground. Now, they fight from the flanks.
UKIP was mistakenly believed to appeal only to the right, but their rise in the last election and the success of Brexit (their only policy) has shown that actually they really appeal to frustrated blue collar workers in rural and northern areas, as well as the more hardline right.
If Theresa May is to unite the country, the government she leads will have to negotiate these shark infested waters. She appears to want to step into the void that was vacated by labour (the centre ground) but this will put her at odds with her own party.
In the next part of this discussion, I will look at what is happening on the left, and how the civil war currently being fought in the Labour party will almost certainly see the party split in 2.
One Response to What May the future hold?


A convention, originally formulated in 1950, aimed at protecting the human rights of all people in the member states of the Council of Europe. Part 1 of the Convention, together with a number of subsequent protocols, define the freedoms that each signatory state must guarantee to all within its jurisdiction, although states may derogate from the Convention in respect of particular activities (see derogation). The Convention established a Commission on Human Rights (now abolished) and a Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg. The Court may hear complaints (known as petitions) by one state against another. It may also hear complaints by an individual, group, or nongovernmental organization claiming to be a victim of a breach of the Convention. The Court cannot deal with any complaint, however, unless the applicant has first tried remedies in the national courts. All complaints must be made not later than six months from the date on which the decision against the applicant was made in the national courts. The Court will only investigate a complaint if it is judged to fulfil various conditions that make it admissible. The Court has power to make a final ruling, which is binding on the parties, and in some cases to award compensation.
Despite the fact that the UK took perhaps the most significant part in writing and inspiring the Convention, and was the first to sign and to ratify it, the Convention articles only came into force in the UK on 2 October 2000. This followed the entry into force of the Human Rights Act1998.

Consumer Confidence Drops in October Amid Consumer Concerns.
12 Things Financially Successful Consumers Do Differently.
Is a New Federal Mortgage Rule Hurting Home Buyers?
8 Excuses that are Keeping You from Financial Success.
Consumer Confidence Drops in October Amid Consumer Concerns. The Conference Board Consumer Confidence Index®, which had increased moderately in September, declined in October. The Index now stands at 97.6 (1985=100), down from 102.6 in September.
Consumers' appraisal of current conditions was somewhat less positive in October. Those saying business conditions are "good" decreased from 28.1 percent to 26.5 percent, while those claiming business conditions are "bad" increased from 16.4 percent to 18.3 percent. Consumers were also less upbeat about the job market. Those stating jobs are "plentiful" decreased from 24.8 percent to 22.2 percent, while those claiming jobs are "hard to get" edged up to 25.8 percent from 24.9 percent.
Consumers' optimism about the short-term outlook was more subdued in October. The percentage of consumers expecting business conditions to improve over the next six months was unchanged at 18.1 percent, while those expecting business conditions to worsen inched up to 10.6 percent from 10.4 percent.
12 Things Financially Successful Consumers Do Differently. What would financial success look like for you? Certainly, everyone has a different definition. For me, it's not about having more money than I know what to do with. It's about making wise decisions with the money that I have.
1. Have an eye for entrepreneurship. Financially successful people don't just think about how to manage expenses are cut them back when times are tough. They think about ways to increase their income. They are constantly on the look-out for new ideas that will allow them to leverage their skills and abilities to generate additional income.
It's always better to pay taxes on today's dollar versus tomorrow's income. At the end of the day, taxes are every American's responsibility, but there is nothing wrong with taking advantage of tax benefits to the degree the law allows.
5. Build wealth. Building wealth is a top priority in their plans and it's done with steady plodding over time, not overnight. The financially successful seek to maximize retirement investments via their 401(k)'s (up to employer matching) and Roth IRA's, but go further in creating assets that appreciate in value.
The financially successful keep money in its proper place by giving it away. Yes, they make giving their top priority. They give to their house of worship or favorite charity, as well as look to help others.
10. Avoid personal debt. Debt is the number one thing that robs people from time and freedom. Why? It requires time to work to generate income and make the payments. Sometimes that requires overtime work!
Brearin Land, financial adviser and CEO of Irvine Wealth Management adds, "Being weighed down by debt puts a damper on a family's ability to meet their retirement goals down the road. Don't pass the buck to yourself. Staying out of debt allows you to buy life's most important asset when you need it most -- time."
8 Mistakes that Keep You from Financial Success. It's too easy to come up with excuses for not saving enough money and getting ahead financially. You don't earn enough. Your student loan debt is suffocating. You need new clothes. Your furniture is old. Your kids are expensive. And the list goes on. But unless you're going to inherit millions of dollars, it's probably best that you start making financial choices today that will bring you the financial security you deserve.
Here are eight common excuses that are keeping you from financial success. If these sound familiar, it's time to make a change.
1. I Can't Afford to Save. It's not uncommon for people to believe that they don't make enough money to put a portion into savings. Even some workers at generous income levels feel this way.
To combat the slow creep of living expenses, craft a budget that will help you to save and stay on track.
2. I Can Always Save Later. It's easier and more appealing to live for today and not worry about tomorrow. And it's one of the biggest reasons many people fail to take action and save. Jason Hull, a certified financial planner who blogs on myFinancialAnswers.com, offered a powerful antidote for that line of thinking.
3. It's Too Complicated. "If you are not sure how to begin, start by investing a small amount from each paycheck into the target date fund that corresponds with your future retirement date in your company's 401k plan," said Lawrence Solomon, director of investments and financial planning at OptiFour Integrated Wealth Management.
Two of the most important tenets of successful investing are also the most simple: Set aside savings consistently and get started. There's no need to be paralyzed by indecision. Low-cost index funds that track market performance consistently perform well over the long term, said Solomon. Warren Buffett also advises investors to hit up these funds.
Of course, there are no guarantees and past performance is not indicative of future success.
4. I Just Need to Get This Out of the Way. Whatever "this" is — graduate school, a wedding or something else — it's keeping you from a sound financial future.
In other words, use the urgency of an immediate financial goal, and take that same enthusiasm and determination to longer-term financial goals. This will help you plan and save beyond the needs of a looming deadline.
5. I'm Waiting for Less Market Volatility. Would-be investors eyeing the stock market these days might be using the recent volatility as an excuse to stay on the sidelines. Or, some might say they don't want to invest right now because the market is too high, or it hasn't hit bottom yet or they want to wait until it goes back up to get in.
6. It's Impossible to Get Ahead. You are in charge of how you spend, how much you earn, how you invest and other financial decisions. By claiming that life is unfair or the game is rigged, you ultimately end up shirking your responsibility to instigate positive change. Be accountable for your money-related decisions, and watch how empowered you will feel.
7. I'm Afraid to Face My Financial Fears. People who stockpile their student loan bills or credit card statements under the bed — unopened — are probably familiar with this fear. Confronting their financial reality is a first step toward gaining security.
Go ahead and face your financial situation head on. See where you stand today so you can start making a plan that will help you move toward the future you desire. Track your spending and earnings. Include your monthly bills and short-term and long-term savings goals. Make the adjustments necessary to bring your financial life back into balance.
Bring urgency to your financial goals. Resolve to stop making excuses. Realize the connection between your financial actions today and achieving your desired future.
Are the New Mortgage Rules Inhibiting Home Buyers? A new set of strongly pro-consumer mortgage regulations went into effect October 3rd and the immediate result was that loan applications instantly dried up. Figures from the Mortgage Bankers Association show that for the week ending October 9th, overall loan application activity decreased 27.6 percent from the prior week.
Is there any connection between the new rules and fewer loans?
Those who are against the new regulations naturally believe that the rule change by and of itself is a blight on the mortgage lending system and will surely make it more difficult for borrowers to get the financing they need. Moreover, the application slide must also mean that lenders are not prepared for the new regulation and therefore the new rules should not be enforced at this time.
Mortgages & Timing: In fact, the evidence shows that the loan application fall-off was entirely normal and natural and not to be unexpected. For instance, MBA reports that "the unadjusted Purchase Index decreased 34 percent compared with the previous week and was 1 percent lower than the same week one year ago." In other words, not a big deal.
So what happened and how will it affect your ability to get a mortgage?
Back in 2013, the Consumer Protection Financial Bureau introduced something called the TILA-RESPA Integrated Disclosure rule (TRID). The new standards were supposed to go into effect in August, but in response to lender complaints, the start date was pushed back to October.
In basic terms, the new rule created modernized loan disclosure forms as well as a new and easier closing paperwork. The rule also said that lenders must provide final closing information three days before the date of settlement. If any of the loan terms change in a big way, then new forms are required and the three-day disclosure period starts again, something which means that closings can potentially be delayed.
While there's no doubt that the new TRID rule is complex – it runs 1,888 pages – most lenders have been well prepared for the October start date.
For instance, the Mortgage Bankers Association said that two thirds of its members were ready for the new rules "with little or no worry." The American Bankers Association said that software was a problem and that as of September 1st, only 60 percent of its members had received production versions.
Meanwhile, on Capitol Hill, the House passed the Homebuyers Assistance Act (HR 3192) by a vote of 303 to 121, legislation which said that lenders cannot be penalized for TRID mistakes before February 2016 as long as they made a "good faith" to comply with the new rule. This legislation, as of this writing, has yet to be acted upon by the Senate or signed by the president.
But if it is true that most lenders are prepared for the new rules, then why is it that loan volume decreased so much?
One reason is that many lenders and commentators had urged borrowers to complete their financing before the new standards went into effect to avoid any possible delays. A second reason is that the first week of October came just before the Columbus Day holiday, meaning that less work was getting done in anticipation of a three-day weekend.
For borrowers, the bottom line looks like this: First, mortgage rates remain around 4 percent and often below as of this writing. Second, lenders want your business, so shop around for the best rates and terms.


News, NewsNow, Premier League, Transfers November 28, 2017 , by Ian H.
According to TransferMarketWeb via The Daily Star, we are moving ever closer to signing Lyon star Nabil Fekir.
StarSport claim that 'talks are underway' about a move for a £60m deal to being the Frenchman to The Emirates and despite interest from Juventus and Atletico Madrid he looks likely to join Arsenal. They say that he'd be a direct replacement for Alexis Sanchez, the Chilean looking no closer to extending his current deal at the moment so could still leave in January.
However, with that in mind, Arsene Wenger has said today that neither of our out of contract stars will leave in January, with Ozil and Sanchez almost now looking certain to remain Arsenal players until the end of the season.
It's been reported that Fekir wants an Arsenal move and his father has also said that his preference for a transfer would be a move to The Emirates to play under Arsene Wenger.
With all of the recent comings and goings this week behind the scenes, it looks like exciting times ahead at Arsenal, could a deal for this 24 year old Frenchman be the first one our new back room boys team up to complete? It would be a real showstopper and statement of intent if they could pull it off, especially in the January window.
On the pitch a win tomorrow tonight could see us cement fourth spot after Tottenham lost to Leicester tonight, meanwhile next weekend's opponents Manchester United ran out 4-2 winners at Watford. We play Huddersfield Town at home as we bid to build on some excellent recent wins – team news here.

The Protestant Reformation, also known as the Reformation, was the 16th-century religious, governmental, scholarly and cultural upheaval that disintegrated Catholic Europe, setting in place the structures and beliefs that would define the continent in the modern era (Staff, 2009). The Catholic Church begun to dominate local law and practice almost everywhere starting in the late fourteenth century. The Catholic Church held a tight hold on the daily lives of the people invading just about every part of it. Some people of this time would decide to stand up to the church and attempt to change the way it operated and make it release some of its control. These people who spoke out against the church came to be known as Protestants. The Protestants felt like the church was corrupt and the practice of requesting people pay money for God's forgiveness as well as the buying and selling of high clerical offices and other things were wrong and unethical. The feelings towards the church practices made the Protestants decide to take a stand against the church to try to reform it. This stand against the church by the Protestants would become known as the Protestant Reformation.
...formation. All scientific endeavor before that had been controlled by the church. These are of course not all but just some of the most notable results of the Protestant Reformation.
The road of the Protestant Reformation wasn't a smooth one, Luther and others like him paid a heavy price for the reform of the church. The fix was also not an instant one. Luther nailed his Theses on the church door in 1517 and the religious and political conflict in Germany did not cease until 1648. It is considered nearly impossible to understand modern history apart from the Protestant Reformation. It would be almost impossible to comprehend the history of Europe, England or America without learning about the Reformation. The Reformation brought about once and for all the right and requirement of individual ethics, and the right to follow the dictates of that individual conscience.

…waste less of everything, including time.
The short distance between a local farm and you means less storage, no middleman, and that means less wasted food and packaging. And with home delivery from an organization like Seasonal Roots, you'll save time, too.
…relax and enjoy the view.
Use some of that time you save to relax and enjoy the open space you'll be helping preserve. That's because buying local food saves nearby farms from getting turned into yet another suburban development. Since our farmers use sustainable methods (unlike factory farms that plant miles and miles of monocrops), our farmers create ecosystems that are good for the soil, water, and air, a rich patchwork of fields, meadows, woods, and ponds – the perfect habitat for wildlife and a peaceful space for recreation.
…reduce unemployment and taxes in your community.
When you buy local, your food dollars stay in your community instead of going to some faraway corporate headquarters. Buy local food and your dollars create jobs at local farms, food processing facilities, and distribution systems. Plus, studies show that, compared to development, farms contribute more in taxes than they require in services. Chickens don't go to school and rutabegas don't call 911. That helps keep taxes from going up.
Local food is safer and more secure. You'll get to know the farmers who are growing and handling the things you eat. They're not anonymous, and neither are you, and our farmers take that relationship seriously as they grow and handle your food. Plus, if there's ever a breakdown in the global food system – which relies on fossil fuels to produce, package, store, and distribute food – your local farmers will still be here, still supplying you with safe, fresh food.
Most Seasonal Roots food comes from farmers and artisans within 150 miles (one-tenth as far as supermarket produce). Because local food doesn't travel very far, farmers can grow varieties for their flavor, not for shelf life and ability to withstand getting drop-kicked halfway around the world. And since the stuff our local farmers grow will be eaten in days instead of weeks, it can be picked at the peak of ripeness — mmmmm. As for locally made products like cheese, bread, and coffee, they're handcrafted for best flavor and not pumped full of preservatives and artificial flavors.
Compared to the global industrial food complex, food from local farmers and artisans uses less fuel and produces less CO2 – 17 times less! So local food belches fewer greenhouse gases and fights global warming. That's cool.
Our family farmers treasure the land as a legacy for their children. They farm with future generations in mind, not short-term profit. That's good for all of us, for all the reasons listed here.
Unlike factory farms, our family farmers raise their animals humanely. Chickens, cows, goats, and pigs live happy lives in open pastures. It's good for the animals, who don't need constant antibiotics and hormones to grow and stay healthy, and good for us people, too. Grass-fed meat, milk, and eggs are much more nutritious than the conventionally produced kind.
Fresh, local, sustainably grown food is better for you. Take meat, dairy, and eggs from animals raised sustainably on pasture. Grass-fed beef, for example, is higher in "good" cholesterol (and lower in "bad") than factory farmed beef. Grass fed dairy is higher in vitamins A and E, lower in fat, and contains more antioxidants. As for produce, as soon as you pick it, it starts to lose nutrients. So Seasonal Roots delivers it to you within 48 hours, dirt to doorstep™. (Supermarket produce is typically a week old and has lost almost half its nutrients before you even get it home!) Sustainably produced food also means less (or no) agricultural chemicals (such as pesticides), antibiotics, or hormones.
…bring more love and joy into your life!
Resolve to buy local, sustainably produced food and you will have a powerful tool for strengthening all the loving relationships in your life. Let's say you get a passle of local peaches, so fresh and ripe you can smell them, and you remember the peach pie your grandmother used to make when you were a kid, and you get totally inspired and dig out that recipe and call in the kids. Together you whip up a couple of pies while you tell them stories about your late great granny. Then Mr. Grumpy Pants from next door marches over to complain about the noise of happy children – but you offer him a piece of pie and a strange look comes over his face, and you realize that strange look is a smile, and you get to know each other while eating delicious pie to the sound of the laughter of children. And isn't that what life is all about?

I've pfsense installed with three interfaces: WAN, LAN, OPT1. My LAN is 192.168.1.0/24 and all machines on LAN side are connecting to the internet through OpenVPN client which was set up on OPT1 interface. My problem is on Outbound NAT.
In my LAN network I have web service on 192.168.1.20 (port 80) and I try to connect to it from the rest of the world. The service is running (I can log in inside my 192.168.1.0/24 network) and it seems that firewall rules are ok because packets are passed on firewall (I enabled logs in Firewall settings to log it).
It looks like NAT works and firewall passes packets to 192.168.1.20 but there is problem sending response back.
In Outbound I'm using manual Outbound NAT mode.
I've got localhost to WAN, localhost to OPT1 mappings also but I think they're not a problem in my case.
@leszekkazmierczak I am far from being a guru,but you want to access your webserver from the VPN ip?that it should be inbound and "see" the VPN interface as a wan interface.When you created the forward rule for OPT1 did you select add associated filter rule?
Yes I did. Port Forwarding creates Firewall rules by default in my version of pfsense.
@leszekkazmierczak i never test to connect to my internal server using pfsense as vpn client ,i allways did from my ISP ip and was ok.
Now i try your way and i am not able to connect back,we miss some info(i will read more this night) or vpn provider has blocked incoming connections.
Your problem become mine also:)) maybe someone more skilled will give us a hand.
It's not ISP problem in my opinion. I used TP LINK router connected with the same VPN service and everything worked fine, including port forwarding.
For starters actually post screenshot of your rules... If I had a nickel for every time user said they did X, when rules were actually Y, etc..
And then clearly state what you think is not working correctly... Which actual screen shots of your sniffs as the traffic hits your wan side interface and then doesn't get forwarded or is forwarded out your lan side interface to your IP, etc..
Then come back with specific questions if you have some..
Why are you using manual nat? Just use hybrid to allow traffic to go out your vpn, etc. Post up your OUTBOUND nat tab..

GeekyCon celebrates everything about being a fan. It blends the nerdy fun of a Comic Con with the community and excitement of South by Southwest in a uniquely intimate environment where fans can finally be their true selves — where that is the coolest thing in the world to be!
Once upon a time, GeekyCon was called "LeakyCon." The idea for LeakyCon was born on the eve of what some said was the end of the Harry Potter fandom. It was 2007, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows had just been published, and a small group of staff members from popular Harry Potter fan site The Leaky Cauldron sat in a crowded hotel room during Prophecy, a fan convention in Toronto, Canada. Reliving their experiences from the weekend, the Leaky Cauldron staffers, including GeekyCon's future Executive Directors Melissa Anelli and Stephanie Dornhelm, decided that by combining their favorite aspects of existing conventions with the special feeling of community found within The Leaky Cauldron website, they could plan a convention for Harry Potter fans that was unlike anything anyone had seen before. And so, LeakyCon was born.
The first LeakyCon took place two years later in Boston as a Harry Potter convention, and now, five conventions and two continents later, Leaky has grown with us as we've come to realize just how much we all truly have in common. In 2015 we will return to Orlando, a very special place for us, where we realized the immense potential for powerful experiences that occurs when you mix fandom, community, and belonging. In 2014, LeakyCon changed its name to GeekyCon to better encapsulate the geeky spirit so vibrantly a part of the convention. In past years, GeekyCon has hosted incredible talent, including Broadway veteran Anthony Rapp, many Harry Potter actors (Evanna Lynch/Luna Lovegood, Devon Murray/Seamus Finnigan, and more), and A Very Potter Musical creators Team StarKid. In addition to programming with special guests, at GeekyCon you'll jam out to rock concerts with the likes of Harry and the Potters, The Whomping Willows, and Hank Green. If you're a fan of young adult literature, GeekyCon Lit (headed by New York Times bestselling author Maureen Johnson and Leigh Bardugo) is perfect for you!

Will Marine Reserve Protect Coral Sea Sharks?
Shark fishing needs to be banned at Osprey and Shark Reef in the Coral Sea for a Marine Reserve to work, concludes a study published yesterday. It is estimated that each year, live-aboard dive boats are directly responsible for generating at least AU$16 M worth of income. Of all the Coral Sea reef systems, Osprey Reef has the highest visitation rate by tourism operators, primarily to conduct shark dives. So, the depletion of reef sharks at Osprey Reef would have serious financial ramifications for the area. To put this into perspective, in the Maldives, the removal of only 20 grey reef sharks, with a market value of only AU$1 000, caused an estimated loss of AU$500 000 annually in diving revenue.

SUPERCHEAP GATHERING – Warragul 1st April →
MID-WEEK LUNCH RUN TO COWWAAR, Thursday 27th March
On Thursday 27th March 14 members in 8 Classic & Sports cars (2 with their roof off) met at the Darnum Store for Coffee before the start of the run to the Cowwarr Cricket Club Hotel as organised by Jan. This Hotel is owned and run by Helena and Val who previously ran the famed Parnassus Restaurant at Camp Hill (Drouin East). Helena had agreed to provide a set menu of 3 choices of mains and 3 of desserts for 20 of us.
The roads were wet, so a revised slightly shorter route was selected, but luckily the rain had stopped, and the day actually got warmer as the day progressed. We had a Sprite, Alpine, MGA, MGB, Porsche, Mustang, Corvette, and a Brock Commodore (all the way from Phillip Island).
Our convoy travelled north of the highway from Darnum, and then wound back down to Waterloo rd to Trafalgar, then north towards Willow Grove with a turn right into Old Sale rd, and then left into the Moe-Walhalla rd, to the Yallourn North Rd (Purvis rd) on the right, and on through Tyers, Glengarry, Toongabbie to Cowwarr. The roads were good and basically dry, and the scenery was wonderful, so it was a great drivers experience with a mix of hills and curves, with flats and straights from Glengarry onwards. A mix of roads suitable for all cars to enjoy.
When our convoy arrived after an hour and a quarter of enjoyable touring, we parked out the front of the Hotel and all had some time to stand in the sun, chat and examine the cars, before going inside. 3 cars with another 6 members met us there. We had a lovely Mercedes 380SL from Sale, the big Chrysler Saratoga from Traralgon and a modern classic Cooper S from just down the road at Tyers. It was great to see a number of our newer members participating as well. We had the Weymouths, Murphys, Swinglers, Brooks, Wilsons, Luke, Darby, Fowlers, joined by the Williams, Rowleys, and Longmore in our group. Our mixed line-up of Sports and Classic cars looked fantastic, and certainly attracted the interest of the locals and other travellers.
The Cowwarr Cricket Club Hotel (originally est. 1880 with the present concrete building built in the art deco style in the 1930's) has had the main rooms refurbished whilst retaining the original fittings, and has a very pleasant atmosphere. (Interestingly, the same 1930's architect designed the concrete Cowwarr Community Hall opposite as well.)
We had 2 long tables set up for us in the dining room, and Helena did an amazing job with the catering, where everyone was free to choose from one of the 3 mains and 3 desserts. Before and after ordering we all sat and chatted and enjoyed each other's company – very sociable. The meals were presented very attractively and all had magnificent flavours, and all came out closely together – a great effort. The desserts were also absolutely delightful. Everyone agreed it was an amazing gourmet experience in a relaxed atmosphere. Well done Helena.
After a very social lunch, and after checking out each other's cars, a group went down the road to investigate the Cowwarr Art Space. This amazing building was built to be an enjoyable work-place as the Cowwarr Butter Factory. It later sat derelict for many years, before an eccentric entrepreneur rebuilt and somewhat modernised parts of it, and it then passed into the hands of the present owner – a sculptor – who has guest artists working there with periodic displays of their works. Unfortunately there was little on display at this time, but the owner gave us an insight into the buildings history – about which he is very passionate – and he is enthusiastic about helping others save and restore other historic buildings in the area.
Then we all set off for home via different routes at our own pace. A most enjoyable day.
