5. Emergency numbers
This is another one that may seem obvious to you, but guess what, you don’t need only your Mum’s phone number for checking in once you arrive.
You need to take these contact numbers with you, at least:
* A responsible member of your family
* Your bank
* Your credit card company
* Your insurance company
* Your Doctor
* Your travel agent
Now, you can probably find most if not all of this on the internet. But in an emergency, like your wallet being stolen, do you really want the hassle?

Rate and cause of consumption have changed over the years; the last decades energy and material consumption have exponentially increased mostly in the wealthy countries. The end of international conflicts brought a rapid growth and expansion of industry in societies which embarked to innovation. Consumption is thus the effect, of economical and technological growth taking place the last fifty years. Baring in mind the different motives of consumption one could conclude it is for the sustenance of the market and economy, the necessity to satisfy an innate desire, or to simply cover of our needs. Apparently, however, problems arise when the needs are excessively covered, convenience in expense of the environment is favored or no precautions are taken.Historically speaking, advertising has been taking place the last decades luring people into buying stuff they do not really need just for personal profit. Of course, that is the principle of market industry since however, mass consumption, or consumption for that matter, is closely related to transnational corporations
1. Passport (valid for at least the length of your contract)
You may think this is an obvious one considering we’re talking about relocating your whole life to another country. Tell me, do you know when your passport expires? Mine expires in 2015.
Depending on where you’re living, a new passport may take up to 6 months to get. It’s not wise to rely on the ‘estimated turn around’ time on the form as in the past both the UK and the USA have had extremely long delays in issuing new passports to their citizens. Of course, if you’re running short of time you can usually apply for an express service, at a ridiculously inflated cost.
So, go now and check when your passport expires.
It’s better for you to have a passport that’s valid for the length of your contract because it’s a real pain to have to get a new one issued from a consulate or embassy abroad. Trust me; I’ve had to do it!
2. Original documents that prove who you are and what you know
Government departments don’t tend to accept copies of foreign identification or certification documents. Ensure that you take all your original documentation. If you don’t have it, then get it.
It’s always good to keep a copy at home too, either with a family member, a lawyer or in a safety deposit box, so if you can, get duplicate originals. An extra set is insurance against theft, fire or natural disaster and makes good sense.
You’ll need:
* Birth certificate
* Marriage certificate
* Police clearance certificate
* Degree certificates
* Teacher certification
* Recommendation letters
3. Medical records and adequate supplies of medications
Anyone in your family that has an ongoing medical condition should request a copy of their medical records. For your children you should have or get a copy of their vaccination record.
Take at least a two month supply of your regular medications with you. This will give you adequate time to check out the medical services in your new country and register with a physician.
Some medications are sold under alternative brand names in different countries, so ask your doctor for alternative names before you leave. It took me ages to figure out that Tylenol was the American brand name for paracetamol.
4. Vaccinations and a vaccination certificate
You are going to be living and working abroad, which means that you’ll be exposed to all sorts of new organisms. Check with your doctor or with a travel clinic to see what vaccinations are recommended for the country to which you’re moving and be sure to let them know that you’ll be living there long term rather than just going on holiday for a week or two. If you’re traveling to Thailand for a holiday the recommended vaccinations are different to the ones recommended if you’re staying here a while.
Get a vaccination certificate to prove what vaccinations you’ve had and ask your health professional to make a note of when you’ll need to get any booster shots. Many vaccinations are good for a number of years, but some need a series of shots before you are covered for any appreciable length of time.
5. Emergency numbers
This is another one that may seem obvious to you, but guess what, you don’t need only your Mum’s phone number for checking in once you arrive.
You need to take these contact numbers with you, at least:

With the advent of the small PLC's (programmable logic controllers), the Logo or the Pico to name just a couple, controlling pneumatic circuits can be achieved with high reliability, low complexity, and at a relatively low cost with one of the currently available, easy to program controllers.That's all well and good for the vast majority of applications that occur in a plant environment that offers electricity. But what if yours doesn't? Or, what if you would prefer to have a non-electrical compressed air circuit, one that is, perhaps, located in an explosive or fire hazard location?Years ago, there were no options but using air logic to control compressed air applications. For more modern applications that may need to operate without electricity, air logic still offers a viable alternative.There are commercially and readily available air logic elements that will help you design the air-only pneumatic circuit.OR GateThis device will allow an output control signal when either of two incoming air signals are present. The output air signal

Have you ever wondered why some business owners seem so calm and steady, while others are in a constant state of worry and panic?Surprisingly, the difference between these two scenarios has nothing to do with the operation of the business-it is the vision of the owner.Your vision for your business provides the foundation for its success, or failure.Without a strong vision, your business will be buffeted by the winds and storms of life, and end up either precariously perched, or crashing down.So, how can vision have such a profound effect on the success or failure of a business?And what is a vision, anyway?Working with small business owners over the last ten years, I have watched numerous businesses crash like the proverbial house built on sand.A small percentage of these businesses have grown into successful, thriving enterprises.Why?What is the secret to a successful business?The successful business owners I have worked with over the years had widely different backgrounds, education, and temperaments.

Finally! You’ve achieved your goal of being an entrepreneur with the business of your dreams, but… it’s unrecognizable.The solution may be in the moniker you choose to identify your business, or the logo, or even a colorful phrase that describes your business to those who know you. Either way, your business needs to be identifiable to the general public, easily recognized and memorable.Online recognition requires searchable keywords and identity. Using Search Engine Optimization in your website design increases your visibility online.Site Visits require a recognizable image. Adding a sparkling logo image to your site, makes your site memorable.On the streets, your image should be visible either on the product or as the product. Your logo on the product should remind the client where the product came from.In person, your product or image should stand out. If you meet a client and shake their hand, will they remember you when they need a specific product? If you introduce yourself with a memorable line they will.

6. International Driver’s License
An international driver’s license is not a new license and doesn’t require you to take a driving test.. It’s a document that you use abroad to make your national driver’s license acceptable to foreign officials. An international driver’s license is a little booklet that you hand over with your license when it’s requested.
Essentially it’s a translation of your license into a number of prominent world languages so that officials in other countries can figure out what kind of vehicles your driver’s license permits you to drive.
Even if you don’t intend driving overseas, it’s a good document to have because you never know what the future holds.
7. Contact details of the school, a copy of your teaching contract and a copy of all the communication you’ve had with the school (this can be in digital format)
It would be a nightmare to get to a foreign country and realize you don’t actually have the phone number or address of the school that’s supposed to be employing you, don’t you think? Most likely, the school will have some kind of orientation programme in place to help you get settled in, and this may even mean someone meeting you at the airport. But, in case they don’t turn up, have the school’s contact details handy.
You should have a copy of your teaching contract to take with you. It’s good to have a copy so that you can check your conditions and stand up for yourself if you feel you are not getting what was promised.
When I moved out to Thailand, I also made sure I had copies of all the emails that I had received. I gradually deleted them as I settled into Bangkok and acted on all the advice I’d received prior to making the move.
8. Your children’s school records
Your children will probably be attending the same school where you’ll be working. Take all their reports and transcripts with you so that you can ensure they get placed in the correct levels. Knowing as much as possible about your child will help the school’s administrators and counselors plan a suitable orientation programme for them.
9. A guide book, culture shock book
Don’t leave home without a guide book! Take some time looking at different brands of travel guide. Different brands have different styles. I prefer a different brand for traveling than staying long term because of the depth of information provided.
The Culture Shock series is superb. Get the one for the country or region you’re moving to and read it from cover to cover. You’ll get an insight into the cultural norms for the society you are moving into, and can prevent you from making any disastrous faux pas that could ruin your first few months abroad. First impressions count, make sure your first impression is a good one by doing some research.
10. Email addresses, mailing addresses and phone numbers of the friends and colleagues you’re leaving behind
I also took the leaving cards I received from friends and colleagues. You may be tempted to pack these in your shipping or even throw them out. However, if you have enjoyed a great relationship with your colleagues then you will miss them. I found that having a reminder of them around me when I was dealing with the initial stages of culture shock reminded me of the good things I’d left behind, but also all the stuff I didn’t like! It helped me to refocus on the reasons I had moved my career overseas!
Having been a global nomad for more than 10 years now, I’ve found that staying in touch with friends and colleagues at home is really up to me. I haven’t stayed in touch with any of the fabulous people I met and got to know in the first 6-7 years of teaching a
