Stephen has lead a debate in Parliament about the effect Brexit may have on British Orchestras.
Stephen expressed his fears about the impact of Brexit, particularly in a no-deal scenario. He noted the business models of British orchestras is highly dependent on touring income, and Europe is their biggest market. However, Brexit looks set to threaten the financial viability of such tours as costs will be higher. These include increased medical insurance, paperwork to transport instruments, additional border delays, and the expense of work permits.
Stephen asked the Minister to alleviate the concerns of British orchestras, who have also been hit by a reduction in public funding and corporate sponsorship since 2010. Many orchestras have contracts signed with promoters in the EU for beyond March 2019 and are set to lose money from any additional costs which follow the UK's withdrawal from the EU. Other orchestras have found that promoters are unwilling to book them such are the uncertainties surrounding Brexit.
Following the debate Stephen said "…it would be a real shame if we were to lose orchestras because of Brexit. I hope the Minister will now give some assurances about maintaining the level of public funding, and consider establishing an International Touring Fund."

Franz Beckenbauer says the 2022 World Cup in Qatar should be played in January and February,when the temperatures in the Gulf state are more moderate. The German football great and FIFA executive committee member said it would be possible to make a one-time change to European league fixtures to allow for the World Cup to be played in winter.
Beckenbauer told Saturdays Bild newspaper this would be a cheaper solution then air conditioning all stadiums. Qatars summer temperatures top 40 Celsius (104 Fahrenheit).
One should think about another solution. In January and February you have comfortable 25 degrees (Celsius – 77 Fahrenheit) there, Beckenbauer said. Qatar won the vote and deserves a fair chance as the first host from the Middle East.
Beckenbauer said it was a mistake to choose World Cup hosts for 2018 and 2022 at the same time. Russia will stage the 2018 World Cup,and it will be a strong host, he said.
Beckenbauer said he was surprised by the early eliminations of Australia as a candidate for the 2022 World Cup and England for the 2018 tournament. England got the best marks in FIFAs own evaluation report ahead of the vote,but still lost in the first round of voting. Beckenbauer declined to reveal how he voted.
Euro mascots named
The Euro 2012 mascots finally have names: Slavek and Slavko. UEFA presented the twin figures in the football kits of Poland and Ukraine last month but invited the public to choose their names.
The European football association said Saturday that voters overwhelmingly favored Slavek and Slavko over the other choices of Siemko and Strimko or Klemek and Ladko. Slavek is decked out in Polands white and red national colors and Slavko in Ukraines blue and yellow. Each has a shock of hair in matching colors that sticks straight up. Four cities in Poland and four in Ukraine are to host the championships.

With health care costs as high as they are, you may be like many others here in Pennsylvania who hesitate to go to the doctor for ailments they don't consider serious. Even so, you have some pain that is intense enough to make you want to take something to make it go away.
When over-the-counter medications just won't do the trick, taking a medication prescribed to someone else may be a temptation. However, you may want to think twice about doing so.
What's wrong with taking someone else's pills?
You may not think that taking medication not prescribed to you would be a problem, but it could cause the following:
- Adverse health events: A doctor prescribed the medication to someone else based on his or her medical condition and needs. Your physiology is different, and you could experience serious side effects that could jeopardize your health.
- Adverse effects: You may have a different reaction to the medication than the person who gave it to you. For instance, a drug that acts as a stimulant for one person could act as a sedative for another.
- Addiction: People most often take pain medication such as opioids belonging to someone else. These narcotics are often highly addictive.
- Medical problems: Foregoing a visit to the doctor could keep you from receiving the correct diagnosis, and your condition could easily worsen.
If you are a pregnant woman, you should never take a medication without first checking with your doctor since it could adversely affect your unborn child.
The other problem
Outside of the physical and psychological effects that another person's medication could have on you, you could face another serious consequence -- criminal charges. The possession of a prescribed medication not belonging to you is illegal. By obtaining the drug without a valid prescription, you break the law. Moreover, if you become addicted to it, you could possibly commit other crimes to "feed" your habit. Further, if you drive while on certain medications, you could face charges for DUI-drugs.
If you already face criminal charges in connection with possessing and/or taking a medication prescribed to you, don't take them lightly. You could face serious legal consequences, including jail time and fines. In addition, the charges and/or a conviction would affect your personal and professional lives as well. The sooner you take action to resolve the charges, the better the chances are that you will receive the best possible outcome.

Wild Wittgenstein
Thanks to a unique conservation project in Western Europe the Wisents live here in Wittgenstein in the wildness since 2013. The animals are related to the American shaggy Wisent and live in the local forest.
This largest land mammal in Europe roams freely through the Rothaar forests, where you find the Wisent-path. A 12.9 kilometres long tour leads from Wingeshausen through the Rohrbachtal via the Rothaarkamm to the village of Schmallenberg-Jagdhaus.
Through the picturesque valley Tal der Ihrige, and different paths in the valley of Bockeshorntal it goes back to Wingeshausen. The tour takes about four and a half hours.
Another Wisent herd has found their home in a natural enclosure. The "Wisent-wilderness on the Rothaarsteig" offers visitors an exciting adventure trail.

The Landing was established by Major John Bradford as a landing place on the Jones River for wood, fish, and other merchandise which was being exported or imported, it passed in due course into the hands of other dealers and traders. After the building of ships became a great industry of the town, the Landing became more and more popular as a home for the men who owned the yards or who worked there, and also for the captains and crews of vessels owned by our local men. The Landing extended from the bluff on which Mr. Theodore Padelford's house stood on down river to the salt marsh on which George Shiverick has his boat building shop, but did not include the bluff, nor the salt marsh. The old house opposite the Major John Bradford House did, however, stand on the Landing (built by Stephen Drew, builder and owner of vessels and later it served as a Holmes boarding house).

This post is brought to you by Ball Parks Finest Hot Dogs. All opinions are my own! #FinestGrillathon
I feel like it was just yesterday that summer was starting. This year seems to be flying by and now summer is almost over. The kids are back in school, the weather is starting to cool down a little, and I'm starting to see signs of the holidays approaching. Before the cold weather sets in we're taking full advantage of what's left of the warm weather and sunny days and grilling as much as possible. I love to change up what's on our grill, but one thing that is always present is Ball Parks Finest Hot Dogs. Hot Dogs are the kids favorite and most requested item on days that we grill.
- Ball Parks Finest Hot Dogs (or any Hot Dogs)
- a Knife
- Skewers – either wood or metal
- Skewer your hot dog right up the middle
- Make individual cuts along the hot dog or roll the hot dog with the knife placed inside the meat.
- Once that's done grill the hot dogs. Make sure to keep an eye on them, since they're spiralized they'll cook a little quicker.
- Rotate the hot dogs while cooking and cook until done.
- Dress it up however you please!
This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Ball Park. The opinions and text are all mine.

Gotta love a little Toby hating!!!

lol, I believe it's the first time that Karen ever takes this well!!! Love the scene between Michael and Jim. Very in character. Jim always opens up to Michael who in turn is normal for a moment.

the day after
:D. my mouth is all sorts of smiles.
Date: August 27, 2007 01:38 pm Title: Chapter 5
Its so funny, that date was all sorts of awful, but it was still great.
Jim is so sweet.

I knew (because I have read this before, but whatever), that the white dress would get stained, just because that is what happens to white things. They get stained.
And I love causal jim pam even more than I love fancy jim pam, so the end is great.

""Why didn't you go after her?"
... Wasn't it obvious? "
These two are good at nothing if it isn't denial
Just curious - do you like Italian food? Since you mention it here and in Be All You can Be, I was wondering if it was just a considience, or something more. Italian food is pretty good though. Considering how picky i am of an eater, it is actually one of the 'foreign' foods I like.
I like this Karen more than the Karen we started to see Post-Return.

Okay, so one thing about them being ahppy with the silences as well as laughter - i always thought that true also. but, sometimes, i thin so much of the silences are filled with pining for the other that they aren't necessarily content, but more... unwilling to say things. am i making any sense... but it really makes sense in my mind.
I wish this is what happened on that fateful day.
Date: August 27, 2007 01:14 pm Title: Chapter 1
Yet another story I believe I read on FFN, but too lazy to check, and does it really matter if I reread it? Not to me, so whatever.
Haha! I am pretty sure Phyllis and Bob Vance, Vance Refridgeration enjoyed that toast more than the craziness that Michael did in the real episode. So I think all involved would probably enjoy this more than reality (as much as a fictional show can count as reality).
Wow, karen in Curls... I can't picture it at all!
I don't like dancing. I am probably one of the few girls who find it absolutely awful. however... dancing with Jim... I think I could get used to that.
Oh yeah, I did read that. And what I love is how so in character it all is, because, even like the little things like the two thumbs up from Jim as Kelly and Pam go to the boquet and stuff. Awesomeness.

I've been remiss in reading this all along and not reviewing. It was really outstanding. You did a great job capturing their chemistry; you wrote a lot of really nifty dialogue. Also, while it was fluffy and sweet, it still felt real, even the weding epilogue. Really well done.
Author's Response: Thank you so much! I'm really glad you liked it!

This is sweet, to begin with a wedding and end with another one. And you captured the characters perfectly. They aren't busy ogling each other and hanging around in the reception - they are real. They had to get away for a while. And the last sentence is love. Overall, great story.
Author's Response: Aww thank you! So glad you liked it!

Oh, so lovely. Another great chapter. This line was so perfectly Jim:
"Or you can invade my privacy, sure."
You do their dialogue so well; it's very authentic and believable. Good job!!
Author's Response: That means so much to me! The writers are genius so the fact that you think I can capture the dialogue they write so well means the world. Thanks again!

I love it! Their first date, a disaster! It's so perfectly them. I just wish we had more details--that it was longer, but I'm so happy at some good old fashioned Jam that I don't even care! Great stuff!
Author's Response: Thanks Doof!
Date: April 05, 2007 08:49 pm Title: Chapter 4
This was awesome! On my first date with my now-husband, we had chinese food at a fancy restaurant, and I'd borrowed a lovely white cotton sundress from my roommate for the occasion. Needless to say we spilled plum sauce on the dress, so the photos I have from that day are of me in a ratty old t-shirt and boxers of his, after I changed out of the dress to try to salvage it. So their disastrous first date story sounded really familiar!
Can't wait to read more!
Author's Response:
Well sounds like your bad first date turned out pretty well ;) Thanks so much for reading!

Stand out or remains in the well
Why Stand out? Among the many benefits of proper management management, differentiation is certainly one of the must and also one of the hardest to work.
Xavi Roca He has been good with the title, but also with the content of his first book "Desmárcate" (Books Header / October 2015). If the title is obvious, the content is a perfectly armed route that part of the definitions, follow autoanálisis, strategy, message and communication. Top it gives us two prologues, the first sublime of Lluís Martínez-Ribes (must be read) and the second mine, conclusions, Epilogue and an annex handy with a checklist of personal brand is placed.
Loas few more 200 pages make "Desmárcate"An excellent manual Personal Branding for those who want to start on this and seek a light reading, weekend, to wonder many things and start with a plan. But like all manuals, It used to go asking if we are doing things right.
It is not for me to reveal the content of "Stand out", I hope you do with it or, if you have the opportunity, Xavi meet in person presentations is doing the book. What I dare you to do is play the preface signed by me as an appetizer of a text you, probably, help you out of the pit.
Disassociate is not a luxury, it is a necessity
He has always liked to surround myself with mavericks. And Xavi Roca is one of the great, of those who have no qualms about sacrificing comfort for exploring new routes to help fill their hungry spirit of new experiences. Personal branding and personal branding are lucky; It is one of the routes that the author explores not only dominates but unsubtle.
One of the classic creative tools that proposes the Maltese thinker and psychologist Edward de Bono in his book "Lateral thinking" is the revision of assumptions. Xavi Roca's book dismantles many of them, and does so with the support of an unusual solidity and literature that defines very well mark its author.
Daring with a book on personal branding after Neus Arques, Andrés Pérez Ortega and a few others have already done so in Spanish can only be work of a madman or someone who has new things to bring to the world of personal branding. Or someone who meets both conditions.
The contribution of this book is multiple, and it is summarized in two main pillars: On the one hand referents using, that they are rich, extension and implacable precision, and, on the other hand, practicality, with examples, Shortcuts, suggestions and hints for using specific tools, in order to handle them successfully.
Many see personal branding as a fad, but reading this book, written by a Strategist (capitalized), It will be clear that, call it whatever they call, personal branding is here to stay.
And if the book is great, the epilogue is the icing on the cake. This is a set of end reflections that perfectly complement theory.
this consultant, professor at the University of Lleida will surprise you in this book, it's more, desmarcarte will help you and lead your own personal brand. In an increasingly global world numerous and, disassociate is not a luxury, it is a necessity. Xavi Roca is generous enough to explain how, I aprovechémoslo.

Creating Waves of Awareness
We have enough space to move around, to play our favorite games, to dump our wastes and pollutants. We also have enough money to make weapons and fight each other over silly reasons. We also have money to make huge buildings and shopping malls. On the other side of the globe, there are people who count their days.
There is one country in this world, which is sinking day by day. It is one among the few smallest countries in the world – Tuvalu. It is a Polynesian island nation located in the Pacific Ocean, midway between Hawaii and Australia. It comprises four reef islands and five true atolls spread out from 6° to 10° south. Tuvalu is the fourth smallest country in the world.
Day by day, the water level is rising due to global warming. If we offer the money we waste for silly reasons to this country, it is possible to make a wall around to prevent further erosion of the land. It is said that this country will be under the seawater within a few years. If we can't help them, at least do not trouble them by hastening the rate of global warming.

Here is an example of the innovation of the Dutch.
I hope seawall protection can help them to lessen the problem. We must salute the people who constructed the Great wall of China (8,851.8 km) for the sake of protection. I think these countries can follow the Chinese method; but not possible without the support of the international community.
Very good Dr Rafeeque. This tiny island is certainly not the only place on earth that will be under water soon. I imagine New York City and Miami Florida and many Atlantic ocean islands along the outer banks will all go the same way. My opinion has always been that humans should not build in these locations that we have the option to go inland. The ocean reclaims the land. Tidal waves and tsunamis will do the job for us. Lives will be lost.
Better to relocate the population and build new cities where we predict will be a new coastline. Of course, I am all for reducing global warming. We waste like there is no tomorrow. Hugs, Debby
P.S. Norway and other countries have managed to live in tenuous situations for centuries, finding innovative ways to deal with the seas.

|Re: 12J8 Headphone Amplifier
A LED light is a good example of a device that radaties allot of infared enegery without consuming much power and I use that to light my house everyday.
It dosen't burn your skin or make you hot.
With tubes glowing off such litle light, the infared enegery from it is too small to take any effect.
Its also commonsense where paint to allow more heat absoption is negletible.

|Re: 12J8 Headphone Amplifier
This project has not received attention for a long time. I plan to have pictures and a schematic, soon. I'm an adult with adult responsibilities so I rarely get to my hobby projects. I'm also nearing the end of my degree program so I've been putting a lot of time into my studies.
I finished wiring up the test situation this week. Although they will not persist in the final build, I used the tiny Radio Shack transformers for testing. They don't sound great. I have considered buying some Edcor small signal transformers, although they are expensive and will have a long lead time so I'm conflicted.
Another thing I realized after the build: the way 12J8 tubes function is based on grid leaking. Basically, a small portion of electrons strike grid #1 and leak off through the grid resistor. In my circuit, the volume potentiometer (50k) is not grounded but connects to a bypassed 1.5 M resistor. This results in the small current developing a voltage of -0.9v on the grid, which sets the operating point somewhere that the incoming signal won't drive the grid positive.
Except, when I hook the music player up to the input, it drains this voltage away. Not good. I need to install a capacitor between the input jack and the volume control because this voltage needs to be present for the tube to be properly biased. If not, the grid being driven positive will cause distortion especially at lower volumes.
I think it will be a fine project once I get some kinks worked out. I've thought of trying 12.6v AC transformers for the outputs and charting their response. I think some would be surprised. Remember that we are dealing with 20 milliwatts of power here. Plenty for headphones.
For anybody who wants to do some reading, here's a link to infrared radiation. Maybe it will help shed some light on why I'm going to paint my enclosure black after I get finished drilling ventilation holes.

|Re: 12J8 Headphone Amplifier
My project is almost finished. All I need now is to lace some of the wiring and install the pilot LED.
12J8 Headphone Amplifier https://imgur.com/gallery/NaTjAZ5
I haven't run formal response tests on it but I can say the sound is ample and very clear. The 12J8 tube is rated at 25 mW which is more than plenty for headphone use.
The transformers are 70v10w speaker transformers used for PA systems. I don't feel like spending $50-75 on Edcor transformers which would probably have a higher frequency response.
I have twelve 12J8 tubes but I can't say it is a common tube. I don't know how many other people would be willing to make an amp like this.

I'm not gonna argue any furthure, but we both have diffrent oppnions about weither not the heaters infared radiation is a concern inside the case.
Still with my old point where that the infared radiation is too small to make any diffrence when you manage it.
We both have diffrent oppnions, I don't mind though.
I've noticed your driving transitor to drive a output transformer, a idea is that you can try OCL outputstage more complex but this may give you better sound.

|Re: 12J8 Headphone Amplifier
Agreement to disagree is probably best here.
I'm not driving a transistor in this amp. One tube per channel. One transformer. That's it.

A project using tubes at 12 volts. The 12J8 is a power tetrode designed to drive a power transistor base. Here, I'm using them to drive headphones.
Thats what you said in the url.
That right there says that your using the 12j8 for voltage gain then power transitor to output the speakers

No, it doesn't.
What I'm saying is the 12J8 was originally designed for car radio use, where it would do what you are saying. This was very common in 1960s car radios before transistors were able to do things like amplify RF or show high impedances well. So, the 12J8 (and other power tetrodes like it) drove the base of the power transistor in the car radio so it could make 1-2 watts of power for a speaker. That's not what I'm doing here.
Original design use. Like the 6L6 was designed for audio amplification. This hasn't stopped some people from using them as radio transmitters or series pass tubes in DC supplies.
My headphone amp is just one 12J8 tube per channel, making a few milliwatts for headphones which is more than enough. There is no power transistor in my headphone amp. There aren't even any semiconductors, until I install the pilot LED. If I could rig a lens to bend orange light from the tubes to a hole in the front, I wouldn't even need an LED. I know it's common to build tube/MOSFET hybrids to drive headphones without output transformers (I made one before). In this case, I decided to leave it out and use the 12J8 as they are designed to be used, driving a plate transformer for a little bit of power.
I turned a knob from walnut today for the volume control, and sealed it by rubbing clear wax into it. I still haven't picked out an LED.

I like my music loud, with peak levels of 0.5W (0.25W RMS) into HP-880 pro signal modded.
But its good that your making diffrent scheamtics to listen to diffrent kind of sounds.

|Re: 12J8 Headphone Amplifier
The 20 milliwatts from this is plenty loud. If I wanted to go for power, I'd get a couple of power transistors and drive them with an op amp. This project was about the novelty of taking a low-power tube and seeing how it would perform. The 12J8 is a pretty obscure tube. If I wanted to take it one step further, I could use the diodes to make a peak detector and drive a 50 uA panel meter.
As far as headphone amps go, this will probably be my last real effort. I have a lot of other things going on and I'm more interested in radio circuits these days. I have a pair of 2000 ohm magnetic headphones, and those are meant to be driven directly from the plate of a triode. Piano sounds really good through them but voice is kind of blah.

SF Bay Area artist & educator
Drawing is my way of making connections with the world. My sketchbooks function as a medium for understanding my experiences. I began drawing in them while in college, sketching professors, fellow students, and passersby.
My sketchbooks are written and visual journals, containing observations about daily life. I delight in drawing my meals for example - the colors and textures of foods and serving dishes can often be visual feasts as well. This has led to my eating some very cold dishes. These sketchbooks are worlds withing themselves; they are my intellectual and emotional journeys which the viewer can share.
In recent years I have concentrated on drawing with ink. After many years of making prints, which is quite process-oriented, I respond to the immediacy of drawing with ink: its wet, flowing quality, the seeming permanence of the marks, and the fact that a combinatio of lines and washes can be achieved with a single tool: a brush.
The musician drawings are done from observation, at concerts, usually in the dark. These are often my favorite images - "gesture" drawings in which I'm simply trying to capture the actions of the musicians. There's something I love about the combination of the human figure and the musical instrument, which often has a beautiful shape of its own.

Santiago to San Francisco
Here is the full film that Tom and I made from our year-long adventure on Honda XR150's from Santiago to San Francisco.
This was an interview I did with my good friend Gemma from VC London back in January 2016; at this point we were about three months into the trip and had no idea if we would make it, or what was ahead of us. It made for an interesting read for me a few years later knowing that we made it to California after twelve months on the road.
If you are interested to read more, Sideburn Magazine and Northcore made a really cool little supplement about the trip. Email me if you'd like me to post you a copy free of charge!
What made you decide to set out on such an epic trip together?
The main reason for such a long trip was to surf, spend time away from the UK especially during the winter, more to do with the darkness than the cold. We both had pretty intense, stressful jobs for the past few years working in a secondary school and we craved a bit more freedom. Tom was really concerned that teaching in a secondary school was going to be the rest of his life and he hated it, he was really unhappy and under a lot of pressure constantly. After a summer spent riding motorbikes and surfing in Indonesia last year, we both felt a bit more empowered to make that kind of lifestyle last a bit longer. It didn't even cross our minds that the route might not be possible, we found out it had been done before and that was it; we started making plans. In order to try to make a different lifestyle sustainable, we started implementing changes in our lives that would help us both on the trip and when we return. I trained as a Beach Lifeguard and a Surf Instructor and quit my job in the school and spent a summer on the beach saving up. The plan was always to pick up a few bits of work or exchange skills along the way. Tom went to part-time at work and started concentrating on his photography work, so far it has been a really positive change.
Why did you choose to do the trip on motorcycles (especially Honda xr150s) as you didn't ride for long before you left?
We were both riding 125's on a CBT before we left, we had an old 70's Honda CB and a newer XR, mainly because we were planning this trip. When we were in Indonesia, Tom was the one always riding the bikes and to be honest I was happy sat on the back, but for this trip there was no chance of that happening, we have too much gear and Tom just wasn't having it, so I'd have to get myself there. It's been a real challenge but it's starting to feel natural. There are positives and negatives to riding a bike on a surf trip, already we have been able to access some pretty special places purely because we are on bikes. We have dreamt of a car or van at times but we wouldn't have travelled on some of the roads we have done, the ones that are going to have the lasting memory. We get some crazy looks riding down the highway with surfboards attached to our bikes (along with the odd shaka which is always a boost). The amazing thing is that we always feel part of the landscape on bikes, we are in it, not separate from it as you are in a car. There is a romance to the idea of it and rolling into a town, tired and filthy, chased by dogs gives us a real sense of achievement. As for the 150cc's, they're cheap, £1,500 each for brand new bikes, we have never gone over a tenner filling both tanks and these bikes are everywhere, a new engine will be cheaper than one sensor for a BMW that has to be shipped from Europe or whatever, these bikes are really simple, single cylinder, carburettor, minimal electronics. We don't feel like we're screaming 'we have money' when we arrive or pass through a town.
Not having surfboards with us was never an option & this is initially a surf trip so 80kmh is tops for our safety. The XR150's sit happily at that speed, any bigger would be a waste for us. Plus, if I drop my bike, I can just about pick it up...The XR150's definitely aren't 'cool' either but they're doing a really good job so far. Fuck me, you couldn't do this trip on an Enfield or an old Harley, there is a romance to that too but I think we already have enough of that with the route, let alone sitting in lay-by's all day. Although an XR250 is appealing at times!
What made you choose your route, starting from Santiago?
San Fran is one idea... Or we might end up in Texas or Mexico, plans are always changing. We read about two Australian surfers travelling through an area in Western Mexico we were planing on going through who wound up dead, burned to death in their van the first night they got there; places like Sinaloa and Geurerro are crazy. We have nothing to prove but we do have flights out of LA at some point. As for starting in Chile, it's well known that Santiago is a good place to buy bikes and its near really good waves. We have made it to another surf town in the North now, nearly 2000km's up the coast; we thought the Atacama desert might have waves but the swell was small the whole time we were there. From here on up to California there is good surf pretty much all the way. There is one language too which is a bonus, we're learning Spanish and it's going OK so far.
Whats been the best part of your trip so far?
Two free weeks in a dreamy log cabin next to Punta De Lobos (an amazing Chilean wave), surfing an amazing spot surrounded by beauty and surf heritage, being in the sea with whales and dolphins was amazing. That and meeting great people, in particular Alejandro Briones and his family from Herencia Rides in Santiago. He built our racks and has supported us fully the whole way, giving us keys to said log cabin. Looking back there are lots of high points but at times its hard not to think of the low points too. I think the lowest point was the Southern Atacama, 12 hours riding through dirt tracks and goat roads that we knew nobody has used for a long time. Going over the crest of a mountain hoping for a town as the sunsets and seeing more mountains and nothingness, switching off the engine and coasting down the mountains and hair pin bends to save precious fuel. There were tears and I wanted to give up there and then. Looking back, that was unforgettable, it was incredible and we are sure that will be the most memorable and amazing experience.
How long are you planning on travelling for?
We are aiming for a year in total but who knows. We quit our jobs and the flat rented out within a day of being online. We might end up quitting in a couple of months or spending a bit of time somewhere we fall in love along the way. We are totally open to ideas of how to live for a while.
How did you find doing your test in the UK?
I found the process of the test really difficult. I failed my Mod 1 the first time round because I ran over a cone pretty much immediately. The Examiner wore a helmet in the yard the whole time and had piercing mean eyes. I didn't feel like I was actually taught to understand how to ride and instead just told to do it. I changed riding schools and found the next guys teaching style way more helpful, less chauvinist and spent time explaining things more logically. For me actually learning to ride was way more important than passing my test if that makes sense. It cost money but I ended up taking my time, having more lessons than they would usually give. The only problem then was that I was cutting it really fine with regards to the trip. I knew how important it was to have my license for so many reasons but in particular to cover me insurance wise, I am sure there are countries out here that you would never be asked. We cut it so fine that the morning of my flight I had to take a detour to pick up my new license which had just arrived. It was pretty stressful and I ended up putting a hell of a lot of pressure on myself to pass but I did first time, that was after getting the wrong date for my first one, I turned up two days too late and ended up sat in the waiting room next to my old instructor, that was a bit shit, ha. I spent the whole test itself thinking that I had surely failed and when in fact I got two minors for hesitating, smashed it. Never been so happy to finish something and never have to do it again to be honest. Most people I speak to say the same thing, it's not an easy process. I don't mean to discourage anybody because it really is well worth doing, it feels amazing to know that I can now legally ride any bike I want.
How do you think riding in the uk differs from riding in South America?
It's early days yet but after nearly 3,000km's there are definitely positives and negatives. On the plus side, the weather is amazing, it never rains, is always warm and dry. Chile is so big that the cities are really spread out, the infrastructure is not the same as the UK, there are 'gas gaps' of up to 400km meaning you have to carry a jerry can really to avoid getting stuck. In England I wouldn't ever choose to travel on a motorway, here you have no choice sometimes, its the only option for part of the country. The Ruta 5, the Pan American Highway here is pretty horrific, there are huge trucks and busses flying past way quicker than necessary, and then they come up behind you and sit on your tail being really menacing. The smaller roads and dirt tracks are absolutely amazing though; stunning scenery, sea to the left, mountains to the right and when you inland a bit its like a cross between Mad Max and Jurassic Park, not another car for miles and plenty of empty beaches to camp on for free. Those big stretches of empty roads never get boring. One big problem is the dogs. Every time we pull into, or leave a town on the bikes, dogs chase us, snapping at our legs. They don't seem to like the noise of the bikes and they really mean business, I am writing this having just returned from hospital after losing a battle with a German Shepard last night, although that was nothing to do with a motorbike. I'm OK.
Will you be getting a bike the UK when you get back?
We kept our XR125 for when we get back. I can imagine after a trip this long that it would feel strange not to have a bike, I am becoming quite attached to it. For me, the romance is where motorbikes can take you, I'm not bothered about the aesthetics and heritage as much at the minute, though I can appreciate the appeal. Right now, my dream bike would be anything that can let me ride though any terrain, particularly sand and dirt maybe with one of those long range tanks. A set of good OS maps and some better tires would also be mint!
What advice would you give to someone considering to do a similar trip who maybe spent have their licence yet?
I would say that I am not really able to give advice quite yet, but having your licence gives you so much confidence when riding. If you're even thinking about a trip like this, start the process get your license, but do it nice and early! Before this trip, I had no desire to ride bikes really but having this skill feels amazing, that said, I am dreading the next part of the journey (400km's with no fuel on the 'Most Deadly Highway's in the America's). What I would say is get a Garmin GPS, use Bikehike.co.uk to plan routes and take a good tent, a jerry-can and a Primus Omnifuel stove (as these run off petrol). My top tip is a pair of decent old Levis (when they were proper denim), take them to the old lady in the Indoor Market and get her to sew in E-bay Kevlar into the knees and hips, I live in these jeans, on and off the bike, Tom too. Trying to find decent ladies riding gear is a nightmare and it really doesn't need to be expensive.

My father "did the payroll" on the kitchen table on Wednesday nights after dinner. When I was around 10 years old, I was allowed to help. My father showed me how to take the hours from the foreman's notebook, determine if the hours were straight time, time and a half overtime or occasionally double time. Multiply the rate times the hours to calculate Gross Wages.
After calculating Gross Wages, I looked up taxes and other deductions to be subtracted from Gross Wages to get Net Pay. An IRS (Internal Revenue Service) booklet contained Social Security and Federal Income Tax. A State of Massachusetts booklet gave amounts for State Income Tax. The Teamsters Union contract specified health and welfare and pension deductions for men who worked on City of Boston garbage contract.
After a few weeks, my father taught me to write paychecks. First we used the 3-up checks, writing the calculations on the binder stub and on the check stub for the employees' records. I filled out the date, the employee's name, the amount in numbers and wrote the amount out in cursive.
One Wednesday night, my father came home with the Safeguard One-Write Payroll. The system saved time and increased accuracy. I saw the benefits of the Safeguard system immediately. Many years later I joined Safeguard Business Systems, the parent company, as their first Controller.
Steady Paychecks Sustain Families
If I made a mistake on a man's paycheck, I heard about it immediately. Employees took paycheck questions to their foreman. The foreman talked to my father. My father showed me how to correct the mistake.
My father taught me, "Families depended on their weekly paycheck - they have to be accurate." Forty families in Boston, Massachusetts relied on a weekly paycheck from James A Freaney Inc. for food, shelter and the basic necessities of life. My father felt responsible, not just for our family, but for the families of his employees also.
Garbage and Sewers
My father's most important job, after payroll, was "bidding jobs" so the men would have enough hours to get a steady paycheck each week. He had to make sure the jobs he bid covered all the business expenses and a steady paycheck for our family and his mother.
Married men turned the paycheck over to their wives to buy food, pay the rent, take the kids to the doctor, etc. Unmarried men had more discretion with their paycheck, until they found a steady girlfriend. Then they began saving for a wedding and to set up a household.
Occasionally one of the men cashed his check in a bar and ended up in jail. My father got out of bed, went to the jail and posted bail.
Sometimes my father made a small loan, when the paycheck didn't stretch quite far enough.
Sanitation Engineer?
My friends would say, "Your father is a Sanitation Engineer", when I said he was in "garbage and sewers." My father would laugh - Sanitation Engineer. He didn't have a College Degree, how could he be an Engineer?
In fact, if a stranger called early in the morning, my father would tell the person he was the janitor. I think sometimes he wished he was the janitor, with someone else taking responsibility for making sure he got a steady paycheck each week.

Carmen Payne
I often get asked, why do you do what you do? I can best describe it by sharing one experience that comes to mind. About 3 years ago I was working with a client who had really hit their rock bottom. This individual was taking substances to stay on top of work commitments. When their spouse found out, it resulted in a divorce and this person not just losing their job but also their spouse and kids. I worked with this client, where we did a lot of visualization and reframing and helping them to manage the anxiety and loss they felt from this completely life changing event. About a month ago I received an email from this client that said the following:
"Hi Carmen, I hope this finds you well, I just I wanted to share with you an epiphany I just had and I want to thank you for it. It could be a testimonial on your website.
Three years ago when I was in what I consider now to be rock bottom you had me do a visualization exercise of what I would consider "Being Happy". The image in my head that you helped me paint through your coaching has come to fruition. The more I think about it the more I re-created that and I didn't even realize it.
So thank you …. I would've never imagined that I would have would have been able to rebuild my life in three years but I have thanks in large part to your wisdom. BUT...Now I've never even considered being at this point certainly not this soon!"
When I received this email it deeply touched me, it was a strong reminder of why I do what I do. This client was trying to conform to the toxic work environment and as a result took drastic measures to do so in order to satisfy a sense of false unreciprocated loyalty, instead of speaking their truth and asking for help and setting healthy boundaries. I cannot tell you how wonderful it was to receive this client's note!
Carmen's early experiences of her childhood contributed greatly to Carmen viewing herself as a "pleaser and a bit of a pushover." She recalls "not really having a voice and not being my true authentic self as a result. It took many years and a broken marriage to help me realize my importance, my authenticity, my personal power and my ability soar above my circumstances. It is this learning and awareness that drives me to do what I do."
I feel that when we look at our lives and its possibilities from a limitless perspective, we can see so much clarity around our potential. When clients feel stuck or overwhelmed, not able to see their limitless potential, I help them discover their path to authenticity and transformation. I encourage them to ascend the circumstances of their lives, free their "heartspace", take flight and soar!

Welcome to this episode of Carmen's Coaching Corner!
The topic for this episode is Switch the Script!
We all have people in our work and personal lives we don't always look forward to meeting or speaking with. Where we're a little or a lot stressed about this looming interaction? And do you find yourself sometimes before you even meet or speak with this person or persons imagining the dialogue in your head with this other person? The way the conversation is going to go? And you are literally having an argument with them in your in your head? Possibly defending yourself or your position on something. Or preparing to be ripped a new one by senior management? I know I did. And of course, it gets you stressed out and you're prepared for a fight or to defend yourself. Because, this is the, "play" you're seeing in your head and you're focused on, (in some cases) due to past experience or you're automatically thinking of the worst-case scenario – or in other words - what you don't want.
Today I'm going to share a four-step process where you get to change the story playing in your head and re-script it!
How do you do that? Well, instead of imagining the worst, pretend you're a screen writer. As the owner of this script you get to create the scene and the dialogue for how you would prefer things to "Play out" with you as the central star! There are four parts to this process:
In your head or even better on paper, Set the Scene. Fully imagine it. Who's there, what room you're in, what the location looks like. Time of day, day of the week. Basically, setting the backdrop.
Script out the dialogue between you and the other actors in the scene. How do you want the conversation to go? What is it you do want? What is the outcome you want? Write this script from your heart space not your head space. Why, because this is about you coming out of it with grace so all actors feel good when they exit stage left and you come away as the star of the scene and not a – well insert your own insult.
Play it out in your mind's eye, fully imagine it. When you do check in with yourself. How are you showing up, are you showing up with the right open-hearted energy or something else? How are the other actors showing up?
Replay the scene and make adjustments! Remember you are the script writer – you own this, so you can modify it as much as you like.
By using this process, what this does is, it shifts your mindset, your old perspective/story, to this new possible scenario. You are choosing a more positive way it could play out and this in turn shifts how you show up and the vibe you give off. It effects how the actors in the scene respond to you. Notice I used the word respond and not react. This works whether you are face to face, on the phone, Webinar it doesn't matter. As human beings we communicate on so many different levels it's amazing. We all know that approx. 55% of our communication is non-verbal. Part of that non-verbal, whether you realize or belief this or not is, we all pick up on each-others energy vibration.
Now keep in mind, this Switch the Script process works most effectively if you believe in your script and it's written from your heart space. Sounds woo woo for us left brain people I know, but I encourage you to try it. Maybe start with a small meeting encounter first.
If writing it down doesn't resonate with you then script it out in your mind with as much detail as possible. Perhaps in the car, in bed or even use your phone.
What I can share with you from personal experience is this one technique/process greatly helped me in my corporate job.
Quick personal story. When I was a project manager delivering IT projects, I was thrown into quite a few, "super-hot" projects for our biggest customers, where I'd get on a conference call and be ripped a new one, often times before I had opened my mouth. I'm sure there's a few of you watching the video or reading this who can relate. Before I learned this process, I would show up for the next call or meeting, stressed, feeling pressure, even dread, on the defensive and just ready to fend off verbal punches and kicks. Once I learned this process, my experience changed for the better. In a couple of cases, the person yelling at me offered me a job if I ever wanted it. This process takes you from unempowered and sitting in, it's out of my control, to empowered and in charge of how you get to show up and respond and not react. Be calmer and far less stressed. Oh, if you're anything like I used to be, in some cases, not let it keep you up at night. You get your sleep back.
So, switch the script! It's that simple!
If you would like the free worksheet I have created for this episode and the last one, please email me and I will send it to you!
In Love & Light,

My PhD-project is focused on epidemiology, diagnostics and control of the liver fluke, Fasciola hepatica, in Danish dairy cattle. We closely look at management system in organic farms, but conventional farms are also included. The project will bring new insight into epidemiology of F. hepatica in Danish context and try to tackle the problem though alternative control that are feasible and practical at the farm level.
My research interest lies on veterinary parasitology particularly on production animals, zoonosis, and wildlife. During my master program in parasitology, I explored prevalence of Alaria alata in different Danish livestock and wildlife, and also studied possible risk factors associated with prevalence of Echinococcus multilocularis through meta-analysis.

Innovator in community health
Ravi Duggal
DOI: https://doi.org/10.20529/IJME.2007.079
In 1981 I went to the Foundation for Research in Community Health with an economist friend who had applied for a job as a researcher there. He came out of the interview impressed with Dr Antia and suggested that I see him. I walked in uninvited and in two minutes flat Dr Antia offered me a job to head a new research project to review what non-governmental organisations in Maharashtra were doing in the health sector. All I had told him was that during my post-graduate studies I had worked on a project enquiring into what the corporate sector was doing in rural development activities. This chance meeting became a career in research on health systems financing and economics in India.
While Dr Antia was a person with innovative ideas and vision, his most outstanding characteristic was the space that he gave researchers and activists to work independently and unquestioned. Everyone did not enjoy this privilege but he could judge who deserved it and he was rarely wrong.
He belonged to a profession which is largely in the business of making money and he was concerned about this. He despised the promotions of the pharmaceutical industry and the medical profession's malpractices. He could have had a lucrative practice as a plastic surgeon but he opted instead to do reconstructive surgeries in leprosy patients, especially of the hand. This did not earn him money but gave him satisfaction and his patients' appreciation because they regained lost livelihoods.
Dr Antia was a strong upholder of medical ethics and would not hesitate to rebuke friends in the profession who violated them. My colleague Manisha Gupte and I wrote in a newspaper about the abhorrent practice of hymenoplasties which gynaecologists were doing to reconstruct lost virginities. In the process we exposed some well-known doctors. One such gynaecologist and friend of Dr Antia complained to him. He must have been surprised when Dr Antia chastised him.
His contributions to community health have been remarkable, from the Mandwa and Uran community health projects and his work for leprosy patients to espousing an alternative health policy via the ICSSR-ICMR joint report on Health for All to his faith in the potential of panchayat raj institutions.
His greatest contribution to the health sector has been the human capital he mentored. FRCH graduates are making their own waves and contributing to India's health sector. This is a reward above all awards that a guru like him would cherish.

Der Prozess [The Trial], the second of Kafka's three novels, is arguably the most accessible and most memorable. He began it in August 1914 and abandoned work on it in early 1915. Like all three novels, it remained a fragment, and it would have been lost to posterity had not Max Brod, Kafka's friend, obtained the manuscript from him, fearing that Kafka would destroy it. Brod edited the assorted papers and published a version of the novel in 1925, a year after Kafka's death. When Brod fled Prague shortly before the Nazi invasion in 1939, he took the manuscript with him, eventually to Palestine. In 1990 a historical-critical edition appeared which differs in important respects from Brod's t…

Napping At Work Is Recommended!
A new poll by The Sleep Judge looked into workplace napping, and while you'd think most companies would frown on it, there seems to be some jobs that are perfectly okay with folks taking a rest in the middle of the day.
The poll finds that 93.2% of workers whose company allows for napping have taken a nap at work, while 46.3% of those whose company doesn't allow napping have also found a way to take a little siesta during the day. And it seems companies should maybe consider napping a good thing, with 56.2% of workers saying naps increase their productivity.

Most Gen Z'ers spend more time on their personal devices than actually watching TV, a far cry from their parents and grandparents ... surprising? It wasn't to me. Needless to say, I am raising a Gen Z'er, and if you think the discussion of 'when do I get to have my own phone' hasn't come up yet with a 6-year-old... think again.
Then vs. Now: A Look at Millennial Parenting
I don't know about you, but I would like to challenge our elder generation when they tell us how great life "used to be" and how horrible things are today… especially in regards to how we raise our children. There is nothing horrible about our generation. It's just different. And since when is different a bad thing? So please stop mumbling "kids these days" under your breath, while shaking your head in disapproval. Kids these days are just fine, as will be the kids of tomorrow, and the following generation.
