With Mental Health Awareness Week just over a week ago, I finally admitted in a Facebook post that I had been suffering from anxiety about travel for many years (which at its worst led me to miss some research trips and conferences). I thought the problem had largely passed, or if not, that I had developed effective coping strategies, but I realised recently as I was contemplating my schedule for the next month or so, that it was definitely still there. I am trying to do something about the anxiety now (I have seen my doctor, I am arranging counselling sessions, using a meditation app etc.)
Discussing with my wife about the possible origins of my anxieties she suggested a number of contributory factors that I had either forgotten about, or didn't see the connection. It's all too apparent now. I should say that I am fine with travel within the UK, and it is just when going further, particularly flying, that the problems occur. There are also some non-travel issues that have contributed to these anxieties.
The first of these 'factors' was being stopped by US immigration at least 5 times when travelling there for conferences or holidays. Each time it was apparently because my name flagged up – there must be a Robert Jackson out there who is on some alert list. And each time they eventually let me continue my journey after they had established that I was not the person they were concerned about. But this kind of experience does nothing for confidence when travelling! Since it last happened, in 2012, I have a new passport, so if I ever travel to the US again, maybe I'll be spared the ordeal? Only time will tell.
The next factor concerns my travel in Brazil. I have been there several times for research collaborations and conferences. On more than one occasion my travel plans have been disrupted because of various factors. On one occasion I arrived at Sao Paulo to be told my onward flight to Lisbon and London had been cancelled but they would 'put me on a flight to Madrid'. There were other occasions like this, none of which helped my confidence. Added to this are the long waiting times and the considerable distances flights cover, which adds to this. Finally even when I last travelled there, English was not widely spoken even in the international airports, making it difficult to get any information. This is a great pity as I love the country, and would like to to go back there!
I also need to mention a trip to South Africa (in 1997) when I was supposed to be doing research collaboration with a colleague in a university there. This trip was very problematical for me, and I ended coming back early. The reasons included less than ideal accommodation, being assigned a student who was not interested in working with me, and the general palpable sense of unease about the place. I only returned there 3 years later because I knew I would be travelling with friends and would always have company.
Moving on to issues related to travel, there is the nightmare that is involved in using an airport now. Everything that is involved, from having get there so early, going through security, etc just makes the whole experience more difficult. As this has got worse my sense of disquiet and alarm has increased, to such an extent that even going to an airport is an ordeal. Not long ago I set out on a trip to Hannover and was turned away at the departure gate (!) because my passport only had about 4 months validity left on it! This was actually an incorrect interpretation of the rules (I found out later), but didn't help me at the time. It added to my general disquiet about travel!
Finally, not related to travel is my very personal perception of politics and the UK's position on the world stage. As an international traveler (well certainly until recently) I am acutely aware of how we are perceived in other countries, which doesn't make me feel good about travelling. And the political situation locally has dented my confidence. Those that know me will know that I take my politics very seriously. For many years I felt I had a home in the Labour Party, but no more. I tried the LibDems for a while but didn't find that worked for me either. The consequence is that I feel politically homeless. With Brexit coming up, and my old party ignoring the majority of its members in supporting the government line, I feel detached from everything and depressed about the future. This only feeds my anxieties further.
I hope very much that things will get better, but I am unsure what good counselling can do, as it didn't really work before. But it does seem my only hope. My doctor has been very helpful, so I am getting support there. My family are wonderfully supportive, but there are limits as to what they can do. Some aspects of my world are very dark at the moment, and I hope to see some light soon.

The commissioning (IBN) of a system can account for up to 25% of the total lead time of a project. Over 70% of the time required for the IBN is taken up in programming all of the software (VDW 1997). Particularly with plants that are being integrated into existing production systems, commissioning can be shortened if programming work starts during the construction phase. A suitable tool for this purpose is virtual commissioning (VIBN) as part of methodological engineering.

text: Kilmatead 10 Posted June 2, 2014 Yes, I know, one can hardly complain when an undocumented feature is "removed" from a function, but just out of my own curiosity (as it's script-changing), I'm wondering if it was intentional or just a random side-effect. Essentially (in pre-220.127.116.11) FileGetLongName was a convenient means of regularising the "case" of a given qualified path: FileGetLongName("c:program files") would return "C:Program Files", etc. Since NTFS is case-agnostic this had no impact on actual usage, but it was infinitely useful when users would type in a location, and you could clean up the (verified) text before displaying the path, especially when it came to relative-path transformations. Since 188.8.131.52. however, it does no case-correction at all, and seems to behave exactly the same as _WinAPI_GetFullPathName. Now, obviously this isn't the end of the world - a raggety-line of 5 nested functions can accomplish the behaviour I expect: FileGetLongName(FileGetShortName(StringUpper(StringLeft($sFile, 1)) & StringMid($sFile, 2))) ...but hey, 5:1 isn't really a bad ratio. (Yes, the extra string functions are needed as the drive letter itself remains lower-case, while the rest is auto-corrected - all in all it's still easier than dancing along the components rebuilding the path manually by reading each from the drive.) Anyway, is there now any benefit to using the inbuilt function over the API call, or is this just a quirk effecting only me? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Today's world has become more and more hectic. We are constantly on-the-go, with a phone in our hand. It is more important than ever to promote a healthy lifestyle and find life balance in your career. Fortunately, the property management industry offers this!
What Is Work-Life Balance?
Work-life balance is exactly what it sounds like – it is prioritizing a balance between your career development and your lifestyle. In today's world, there is a constant pressure to be at the office longer. Recently, 94% of working Americans said they spent more than 50 hours per week at their job, while half said they worked more than 65 hours per week. Work-life balance is about finding time for the things you enjoy – whether that be going to the gym, spending time with your family, going on an outdoor hike, watching a movie, or any other hobby that brings you satisfaction.
Why Is Work-Life Balance Important?
Not achieving work-life balance can have detrimental effects on your health. Feeling unaccomplished at the end of the day, especially after last ditch effort to get everything done, can lead to elevated stress levels. This, in turn, can make you irritable, depressed, or angry. Stress can also weaken your immune system, making you more susceptible to illnesses and sickness. Chronic stress can double your risk of having a heart attack.
Property Management Careers
A career in property management has consistently been ranked as one of the happiest jobs in America. The job itself can be rewarding, because of the relationships constantly being built when meeting new people. But, perhaps, more importantly, property management careers offer flexible hours. The ability to set your own schedule can be vital for achieving life balance. If you are struggling to find work-life balance in your current job, consider a career in property management.

Original George Perez Art To An Early Wonder Woman Page From 1988. WONDER WOMAN (1980's) Issue #23, Page #19 With Iconic Depictions, Spotlighting Lord Hermes, Getting Lured Into A Trap Set By Phobos And Euryale.Written And Drawn By The Legendary George Perez For A Tale Titled A God Among Men! Wonder Woman is the very first succesful female hero in comics, dating back to the start of the golden-age with such famous books as All Star #8 and Sensation Comics #1, followed by Wonder Woman #1 (1st Series) which was the first title helmed by a female lead. Over the past eight decades she has emerged as the most iconic of all the heroines, and will soon be seen on the big screen. Attentive depictions in these well-rendered panels, this showpiece.
Original Pencils and Inks To A Eye-Popping WW Page! This series has always appealed to fans of the DC comics, as well as those who like to see top icons by the artist that is the most well-remembered for the character.Keep in mind, all things about the superheroes such as Dark Knight and Supes and WW, including the early comic appearances and this one-of-a-kind cult-classic item, are likely to continue to gain popularity, thanks in part to hit modern appearances in comics and graphic novels, and also planned film and TV projects. Beautiful Clean Line Art To An Exciting Diana Prince Tale From The Scriptor And Cover Artist Himself, GEORGE PEREZ, With Finishes/Inks By Will Blyberg. George Perez AT HIS BEST, Each Panel Is A Masterpiece.
This is one of those pieces you can enjoy immensely without having to read any of the surrounding pages, making it a superb stand-alone piece to frame and display. This page features tremendous dynamic imagery.PLUS, ORIGINAL COMIC ART IS HUGE, AT CLOSE TO TWO FEET TALL! Great detail work, with quality renditions of the characters and the settings, and the tightness of the inks is impressive! EACH PANEL IS LUSH, WITH THE ACTION AND EXPRESSIONS ENHANCING THE TALE WITH MINIMAL NEED FOR NARRATION. This page is from DC COMICS, and in this case, the long-running Wonder Woman series. The originals to popular issues of this series are notoriously tough to get, and once one sells, it can be out of the market for decades. Any comic-art fan will want to see our other current auctions, featuring dozens of pieces, including vintage cover production art. THIS ARTWORK IS SUPPLE AND CLEAN AND WELL PRESERVED, ALTHOUGH IT HAS BEEN TRIMMED IRREGULARLY AT THE TOP EDGE, THERE IS STILL MORE THAN ENOUGH BLANK MARGIN FOR A MATTE/FRAME, JUST NOT QUITE FULL-SIZE MARGINS AROUND ALL THE PERIMETERS LIKE ON SOME ORIGINALS OF THE DAY. This original piece of comic illustration art would be a great addition to the collection of any fan of the unique original artwork to vintage comics. This is the ORIGINAL COMIC ART, which is far bigger in size than a comic book or a magazine.
A whopping 11" by 16.5", and almost all of it's image-area, so you can imagine that every individual image is substantial. A conversation piece of the highest order, you'll want to have this one framed and displayed prominently. Much too large for our scanner, this jaw-dropper is almost a foot wide and well over a foot tall, so I took a couple mediocre low-res pictures with the digital camera. One photograph shows the art alongside a random comic for scale. The digital pictures make the piece appear dull and drab, when in reality it is clean and white, and especially striking in person.
This actual one-off item was created by GEORGE PEREZ and Will Blyberg in 1988 for DC Comics to produce the entertaining story. This gorgeous showpiece is the original, none of it is mere "stats" or photocopies except for the text elements, -- it is especially striking since the inking was done to high standards, so it really emphasizes the high-impact images. This is one-of-a-kind material which would be a great acquisition for any fan of the old superhero comics or books, graphic novels and magazines! Extra fresh, bright, and clean; It has obviously been well-preserved so far.Boasting lots of great details, this would be particularly impressive if it were framed and displayed, but it could also be stored for investment. Many of you have dealt with us through our ads in CBM, CBG, O. We are secure packagers and prompt shippers so expect to be pleased. This irreplaceable item is the only one of its kind... Great item for the serious female superhero ephemera buff, or just the art investor or Wonder Woman goddess memorabilia fan who enjoys owning true rarities to keep himself or herself satisfied visually, while keeping his/her portfolio diversified in a most impressive fashion! As Usual: LOW ASKING PRICE AND NO RESERVE! KEY COMICS IS ALWAYS DEALING IN COMICS & ART! For more samples from our diverse inventory, including CGC-Graded Comics, plus more Comic Line Art, and DC COVER ART from the historic Jack Adler Collection that we listed in assorted categories, please see our other items. Good Luck and Happy Collecting!
The item "George Perez WONDER WOMAN 23 Page 19 Hermes Diana Prince DC COMICS LINE ART 1988" is in sale since Thursday, February 25, 2016. This item is in the category "Collectibles\Comics\Original Comic Art\Other Original Comic Art". The seller is "keycomics" and is located in Mesa, Arizona. This item can be shipped worldwide.

Traditionalists Attack Summorum Pontificum
Any traditionalist reading the title of this post will definitely accuse me of losing my mind. Traditionalists feel that Summorum Pontificum - which opened up the Traditional Latin Mass to the entire Church - was probably the most important and significant document in the last 50 years. They would never attack it! And yet, that is exactly what they do.

Sweet boy.
I am here to say I would cone my dog to pieces if it meant she would be in my life a while longer. It's all love, man. I have a feeling I would have to give her lots of little pieces of cheese to make up for it, though.
LOL...Hope, you should see what happens when he drops the little pieces of cheese in the cone.

In my pC right button property, advanced optins, in performance select best performance.
I have a problem on my Dell 8200 running Windoze XP Prof. SP1. I run my machine 24X7 because I do SETI analysis. But after about 4-5 days funny things happen on the screen and then I get an out of memory message. As soon as I reboot all is back to normal for 4-5 days.
Windows Task Manager shows 52 processes running. My machine has 256 MB of physical memory. I have increased my min & max. page memory up to 1026 MB per DELL customer service. Now they say I need more physical memory.
Does anyone have an idea what is going on? It seems to me that not all the code is being flushed out of the physical memory and it keeps building up until I get this error message.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks much,

Discussion in 'Windows 7' started by Rufiq, Feb 25, 2018.
Hi. How do I integrate Windows 7 iso file drivers?
How do I add only the WLAN and LAN driver for the DriverPack program to the Windows 7 ISO file?
The same way as shown for the nvme drivers.
Will you help me do this with TeamViewer?
Nope, not going to remote help with clearly explained and simple to do windows servicing commands.
if you don't have required knowledge to mount wim files and integrating drivers even if istructions given by @Enthousiast were clear enough to make this work, you can simply use Windows 7 Image Updater by @Atak_Snajpera, this tool is very easy to use, it consists of building an iso with integrating all necessary drivers (Lan, wifi, usb3.0....) and updates automatically, you won't need to do anything execpt to load the iso that you need and you'll good to go. The procedure will take some time before it ends.
That tool creates homebrew and integrates driversoftware for non existing hardware.
@Atak_Snajpera mentionned in the concerned thread that the tool integrates all necessary drivers for LAN and wifi drivers. i just read what was mentionned there.
And i've tested it.
so it's time for the author of this thread to test it, the tool may have integrated the LAN and wifi drivers that he needs as it contains all necessary drivers as it is mentionned so this will hopefully work for him.
I have no need for another 50+ replies: https://forums.mydigitallife.net/th...felake-ryzen-threadripper.76335/#post-1408503
yes i had already seen those screen from yours, i suppose that you hadn't ticked "integrate drivers" in your test, that's all he needs.
if he uses your method, i suppose that he will need to extract .exe LAN and wifi drivers as most of those drivers are downloaded with exe file and afaik you can't integrate exe files into install.wim unless i am mistaken about this.
Most of this is already fixed (all missing important security patches plus IE11 are included). New version in three days.
And what is your problem? Are you afraid that Simplix Pack will be soon useless?
It has nothing to do with other tools, i know that objective testing and facts don't matter as much as in the past.
People should feel free to use whatever tools they want, but for once they should first learn how it all works before depending on all kinds of tools and not even knowing how it all works. Or asking for help by using Teamviewer.
Thank you for making this tool available here, it really facilitates the work for the ones who don't have the required knowledge to integrate all the drivers and updates manually and glad to know that most known issues were already fixed.
i will test the new version as soon as it will be posted in the concerned thread and will report back.
will the new version contain new options or features ?

The article below was written for the Journal of 9/11 Studies for the eleventh anniversary of September 11, 2001, the day that terminated accountable government and American liberty. It is posted here with the agreement of the editors.
In order to understand the improbability of the government's explanation of 9/11, it is not necessary to know anything about what force or forces brought down the three World Trade Center buildings, what hit the Pentagon or caused the explosion, the flying skills or lack thereof of the alleged hijackers, whether the airliner crashed in Pennsylvania or was shot down, whether cell phone calls made at the altitudes could be received, or any other debated aspect of the controversy.
You only have to know two things.
One is that according to the official story, a handful of Arabs, mainly Saudi Arabians, operating independently of any government and competent intelligence service, men without James Bond and V for Vendetta capabilities, outwitted not only the CIA, FBI, and National Security Agency, but all 16 US intelligence agencies, along with all security agencies of America's NATO allies and Israel's Mossad. Not only did the entire intelligence forces of the Western world fail, but on the morning of the attack the entire apparatus of the National Security State simultaneously failed. Airport security failed four times in one hour. NORAD failed. Air Traffic Control failed. The US Air Force failed.
The National Security Council failed. Dick Cheney failed. Absolutely nothing worked. The world's only superpower was helpless at the humiliating mercy of a few undistinguished Arabs.
It is hard to image a more far-fetched story—except for the second thing you need to know: The humiliating failure of US National Security did not result in immediate demands from the President of the United States, from Congress, from the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and from the media for an investigation of how such improbable total failure could have occurred. No one was held accountable for the greatest failure of national security in world history. Instead, the White House dragged its feet for a year resisting any investigation until the persistent demands from 9/11 families for accountability forced President George W. Bush to appoint a political commission, devoid of any experts, to hold a pretend investigation.
On 9/11 Doubts Were Immediate
On September 11, 2001, a neighbor telephoned and said, "turn on the TV." I assumed that a hurricane, possibly a bad one from the sound of the neighbor's voice, was headed our way, and turned on the TV to determine whether we needed to shutter the house and leave.
What I saw was black smoke from upper floors of one of the World Trade Center towers. It didn't seem to be much of a fire, and the reports were that the fire was under control. While I was trying to figure out why every TV network had its main news anchor covering an office fire, TV cameras showed an airplane hitting the other tower. It was then that I learned that both towers had been hit by airliners.
Cameras showed people standing at the hole in the side of the tower looking out. This didn't surprise me. The airliner was minute compared to the massive building. But what was going on? Two accidents, one on top of the other?
The towers—the three-fourths or four-fifths of the buildings beneath the plane strikes—were standing, apparently largely undamaged. There were no signs of fire except in the vicinity of where the airliners had hit. Suddenly, one of the towers blew up, disintegrated, and disappeared in fine dust. Before one could make any sense of this, the same thing happened to the second tower, and it too disappeared into fine dust.
The TV news anchors compared the disintegration of the towers to controlled demolition. There were numerous reports of explosions throughout the towers from the base or sub-basements to the top. (Once the government put out the story of terrorist attack, references to controlled demolition and explosions disappeared from the print and TV media.) This made sense to me. Someone had blown up the buildings. It was completely obvious that the towers had not fallen down from asymmetrical structural damage. They had blown up.
The images of the airliners hitting the towers and the towers blowing up were replayed time and again. Airliners hit the top portions of the towers, and not long afterward the towers blew up. I turned off the TV wondering how it was that cameras had been ready to catch such an unusual phenomenon as an airplane flying into a skyscraper.
I don't remember the time line, but it wasn't long before the story was in place that Osama bin Laden and his al Qaeda gang had attacked the US. A passport had been found in the rubble. Another airliner had flown into the Pentagon, and a fourth airliner had crashed or been shot down. Four airliners had been hijacked, meaning airport security had failed four times on the same morning. Terrorists had successfully assaulted America.
When I heard these reports, I wondered. How could a tiny undamaged passport be found in the rubble of two skyscrapers, each more than 100 stories tall, when bodies, office furniture and computers could not be found? How could airport security fail so totally that four airliners could be hijacked within the same hour? How could authorities know so conclusively and almost immediately the names of the perpetrators who pulled off such a successful attack on the world's only superpower, when the authorities had no idea that such an attack was planned or even possible?
These questions disturbed me, because as a former member of the congressional staff and as a presidential appointee to high office, I had high level security clearances. In addition to my duties as Assistant Secretary of the US Treasury, I had FEMA responsibilities in the event of nuclear attack. There was a mountain hideaway to which I was supposed to report in the event of a nuclear attack and from which I was supposed to take over the US government in the event no higher official survived the attack.
The more the story of 9/11 was presented in the media, the more wondrous it became. It is not credible that not only the CIA and FBI failed to detect the plot, but also all 16 US intelligence agencies, including the National Security Agency, which spies on everyone on the planet, and the Defense Intelligence Agency, Israel's Mossad, and the intelligence agencies of Washington's NATO allies. There are simply too many watchmen and too much infiltration of terrorist groups for such a complex attack to be prepared undetected and carried out undeterred.
Washington's explanation of the attack implied a security failure too massive to be credible. Such a catastrophic failure of national security would mean that the US and Western Europe were never safe for one second during the Cold War, that the Soviet Union could have destroyed the entire West in one undetected fell swoop.
As a person whose colleagues at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington were former secretaries of state, former national security advisors, former CIA directors, former chairmen of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, I was troubled by the story that a collection of individuals unsupported by a competent intelligence service had pulled off the events of 9/11.
As a person with high level government service, I knew that any such successful operation as 9/11 would have resulted in immediate demands from the White House, Congress, and the media for accountability. There would have been an investigation of how every aspect of US security could totally fail simultaneously in one morning. Such a catastrophic and embarrassing failure of the national security state would not be left unexamined.
NORAD failed. The US Air Force could not get jet fighters in the air. Air Traffic Control lost sight of the hijacked airliners. Yet, instead of launching an investigation, the White House resisted for one year the demands of the 9/11 families for an investigation. Neither the public, the media, nor Congress seemed to think an investigation was necessary. The focus was on revenge, which the Bush neocon regime said meant invading Afghanistan which was alleged to be sheltering the perpetrator, Osama bin Laden.
Normally, terrorists are proud of their success and announce their responsibility. It is a way to build a movement. Often a number of terrorist groups will compete in claiming credit for a successful operation. But Osama bin Laden in the last video that is certified by independent experts said that he had no responsibility for 9/11, that he had nothing against the American people, that his opposition was limited to the US government's colonial policies and control over Muslim governments.

To Inquiry or not to Inquiry . . .
Sarah Kong | Wed, 06/04/2014 - 18:20
Here is something to ponder as you think about your lab experiences this year: I have been using an excellent inquiry lab for the past few years. I think it does a fabulous job guiding the students through the amazing (yet often dull to students) world of specific heat equations and learning about calorimetry. However, this semester, I returned to the old, traditional calorimetry lab. I wan

Once upon a time there was a horrible little "world" noodle shop at Beverly and Orlando called something like "Menjin's World Noodles" -- it was a cute space (in the same strip mall as Hirozen, across the street from Mandarette) with dreadful noodles/soups.
The ugly frog has been kissed-away and replaced with a most handsome prince..no make that KING of a thai restaurant. Only remnants of the awful name remain and seem to be scaring people away.
The superb Thai food is as authentic as any I've had since going to Thailand. The folks that run it are the nicest since then too!
Parts of the menu definately cater to "farang" tongues but if you tell them you want the real deal they will make it.
I love fiery Isan-style and they deliver some awesome som tum, BBQ chicken and beef salad ("pet pet" if you can take it). The chef will make almost any thai dish you can think of...last night he made a spur-of-the-moment special request: pla lad prik w/a fresh yellowtail filet that blew me away. Koi Soi (a dish so hard to find in LA) is perfection. The curries --the green curry in a fresh coconut shell is particularly sublime -- attain that incredible melange of creamy, sweet and hot that leaves you with a grin on your face, a watery mouth and rheumy, tear-filled eyes.
I know this sounds to good to be true.
Purists are going to doubt anything this good can be (slightly) south and west of Thai Town. I was amazed by reading blima2's "Simplified Schema" post of 6/30/03 that I can have it all (except, of course, Thai Elvis and, maybe, frogs legs -- I've never asked but I bet they'll do it!!)at one place that definately does serve beer and wine.
Skeptics are going to think that I work for the joint. I don't at all; I am a passionate eater afraid to lose a pearl (especially one whose shell remains labelled with the detritus of a previous owner).
Stay away from the overly Westernized "Chan Dara-ized" dishes (Stuffed Anaheim Chili was mediocre) and you'll love the place and you'll get as true a Thai meal as any I've had this far from Asia. ENJOY!

What is International Assignment Support?
If you're thinking about contract work overseas, but don't understand the regulations & potential pitfalls, our International Assignment Support service can help you make the move.
NRL's expert teams, based in our UK Centres of Excellence, can provide dedicated one-to-one support and advice to help you understand your tax & visa obligations and develop an assignment plan that incorporates:
Including a full travel plan for managing your flights and booking accommodation, visa processing and a meet and greet service when you arrive to help familiarise yourself with your new home.
Every country operates its own rules in regard to tax liabilities. We ensure that in addition to paying the right amount of tax, you are working compliantly in accordance with country regulations.
We can create an insurance portfolio to ensure you are covered should you need medical treatment, and when the time comes to move contracts we can make all the arrangements for you.
If you're willing to temporarily relocate and sacrifice some of your home comforts, there could be a fantastic opportunity awaiting you abroad.
Why contract abroad?
A research study undertaken by William Maddux, an Associate Professor at INSEAD, discovered that working abroad could help you to think more complexly and creatively.
The study indicated that people with international experience were better problem solvers and displayed more creativity - finding that they were more likely to create new businesses and products or be promoted.
Working within different cultures, countries and work environments means you'll often feel out of your comfort zone, providing opportunities to solve problems and develop your communication skills.
Arguably the greatest benefit for transferring your skills abroad will be a boost in your salary package – where your skills are in demand you should see a higher rate of pay offered, and in some overseas countries you can also earn your income tax free.
Which countries?
Expat networking community InterNations surveys its members each year to find the best places to work and live. In 2017 members rated Bahrain, Taiwan, New Zealand, Singapore, Portugal and Spain as some of the top 10 expat destinations.
Bahrain, Portugal, New Zealand, Philippines and Malaysia rated highly for ease of settling in, making them ideal places to consider for your first overseas role. If you're thinking of relocating with family, expats think Finland, Sweden, Czech Republic, Denmark and Thailand are the best top 5 locations for family life.
When asked which countries allowed them to earn the same or more money abroad, Luxembourg, Switzerland, Qatar, Kuwait and Bahrain were the top 5 locations.
Whichever continent you fancy working on, sign up to job alerts with recruitment agencies to see which roles are being advertised and where your skills are in demand.
Why contract instead of going permanent?
Moving abroad is a big change so opting for a project based contract could let you test the water and see if the expat lifestyle is for you.
If you're looking to travel alone, this project by project approach to working will allow you to experience different countries and cultures – and you'll soon identify the places you feel most at home in.
Working in the UK is simple - we all understand our tax and national insurance obligations. Relocating to work overseas however means you'll need to pay tax and other financial obligations which differ depending on which country you are in.
If you're looking to work overseas though you will need to ensure you remain compliant, both in your assignment country and back home – but that doesn't need to feel as daunting as it could be.
Visa and travel documentation
If you're looking to work outside the EU you'll most likely need a working visa. These visas will be sponsored by your employee or recruitment agency, and you'll work in the country under their permission.
Depending on the length of the contract or time you'll need to stay in the country you may need to keep on top of your visa time allowance and apply for extensions.
Tax compliance
Every country is different – in some countries you won't need to pay as much tax as you do in the UK. In some countries you won't have to pay any at all, making a life overseas sound extremely appealing. As a worker within that country however you'll need to be on top of your tax obligations, and ensure you remain compliant – failure to do so will incur financial fines or legal action.
A good international recruitment agency will be able to provide you with guidance and support for this however, so don't let it put you off making the move.
Insuring for every eventuality
Although you've not even left yet, you'll also need to consider how you'll relocate back home at the end of your contract, or what you'd do if you needed to cut your time abroad short for emergency reasons.
Making sure you have sufficient insurance cover while you're abroad for repatriation and travel will provide peace of mind that you'll have the support if you need it.
Engage an agent for assignment support
If all this compliance seems complex, you can engage an agency to provide you with international assignment support. They'll work on your behalf and liaise with local authorities to secure a visa and documentation, ensure tax compliance and all the necessary insurance you'll need.
You've decided you want to benefit from the perks of an expat life – a warmer climate, great job opportunity and better salary package – you're ready to make the move.
Now what? There will be many things you need to arrange, including:
• Health insurance cover - if you won't have access to free healthcare in your country of work you'll need to take out an extensive healthcare plan including how you'll cover living expenses if you're unable to work due to illness
• Banking – you might find it beneficial to open a bank account in your new country of residence to help with your monthly outgoings, or speak to your UK bank to see what options they have to support you overseas
• Accommodation – if you're new to the country you may decide you'd rather look for temporary accommodation or a serviced apartment for the first few weeks while you familiarise yourself with the area and gain local insight on the best suburbs to look for a rental property
• The packing list – you'll need to think about which items you'll need to relocate and how you'd get these shipped overseas. Transporting good by sea can take several weeks, however it may be more cost effective to buy new when you arrive
Many recruitment agencies, including NRL, provide mobilisation services as part of their international assignment support. They'll be able to provide you with travel plans, and provide temporary accommodation while you search for the right base for your time abroad.
It can be daunting arriving in a new country when you're unfamiliar with it, so you can request that your international assignment support includes an in-country meet and greet. A local guide will meet you off the plane and take you to your accommodation. They'll arrange a tour of the local area, ensuring you discover all the local amenities you'll need to get settled in. If there's any paperwork you need to complete with the local authorities or embassy they can accompany you to help with any language barriers.
First things to do when you arrive
1. Make sure you purchase a mobile phone - you might need to shop around, but you'll often find it's much more cost effective to use a local network provider than rely on your UK mobile phone contract.
2. Download a language app on your phone – if English isn't the native language it's best to start learning a few key phrases as soon as possible. It'll help when you're at the stores picking up supplies and make your first day at the new job a little easier.
3. Check the working week and public holidays – you may find your new country of residence works a little differently to the UK. Working weeks in some Muslim countries are Sunday to Thursday, and public and religious holidays will also differ to the UK.
4. Try and understand the local culture – in Australia a woman shaking a man's hand should offer her hand first, but she shouldn't shake the hand of another female. The custom is somewhat different in Japan however, where you're expected to wait for an introduction as it's considered impolite to introduce yourself. It's important to read up on these traditions to ensure you don't start off on the wrong foot.
5. Try the local cuisine – the best part of living in a new country is being able to try all the local delicacies. You'll often find that the home comforts you enjoy in the UK need to be imported, making them expensive to purchase overseas – developing an appetite for the local delights can help reduce your monthly overheads.
Why is compliance so important?
A different country means a different set of rules to adhere to. Taking the time to understand a country's legislation is a laborious process which can easily take your attention away from planning your move. However, failing to grasp the complexities of a country's tax system could land you in serious trouble with the potential for both legal & financial penalties.
Compliance is an ever-changing landscape, and when it comes to working compliantly a lack of knowledge can pose significant risks, ignorance is no defence when fighting your case with a local tax authority! Choosing an experienced, reputable partner will make a real difference between a smooth transition from your home country to a 'painful' overseas experience.
Why choose NRL to support your move?
NRL have supported projects across the globe, and our extensive background in recruitment means we look at compliance from a contractor's point of view.
Your dedicated account consultant will provide you with extensive support to ensure you are compliant in whichever country you seek to work, taking the hassle and stress out of making the move.

A yearlong federal probe into the San Bruno natural gas disaster hasn't determined where the ruptured pipe segment came from or who is responsible for its numerous welding defects, a critical problem that means PG&E and state regulators can't say if similar segments were installed in the Bay Area.
Deborah Hersman, chairwoman of the National Transportation Safety Board, on Monday said PG&E's poor record-keeping prevented investigators from finding the pipe's origin, and experts said that could increase the danger for the public.

There was commotion in the players' lounge area, as the Uzbekistan Davis Cup team rushed in. It had barely been 30 minutes when the visiting squad from the Central Asian nation was forced off court by rain. Their first practice session under lights was called off, but that was the least of their concerns. An hour earlier, the team present in Bangalore for the second round Asia/Oceania Group 1 tie were informed that their spearhead, world number 71 Denis Istomin, would not be making the trip due to an injury to his left heel.
"He got it at Indian Wells, tried to shake if off at the Miami Open last week, just couldn't happen," says Valera Lim, team manager. Mainly a journeyman, Istomin had come into the spotlight after upsetting world number 2 Novak Djokovic at the Australian Open in January.
Bhupathi merely shrugs off the information. "The way they (Uzbekistan) have been preparing here, they had already come with their reserve player, we knew he was not going to come," he says. "But the tie is pretty much open now because Yuki (Bhambri) is out for us, Istomin for them. Both teams have young players. So it's pretty even."
The Uzbeks too seemed unperturbed, as they warmed up ahead of their evening session on the hard courts of the KSLTA Stadium. There wasn't any apparent panic in the Uzbek camp, which includes 18-year-old Jurabek Karimov – the 2016 Junior Australian Open runner-up – as Istomin's replacement. shahid judge(SPORTS EXPRESS,2017).

Don't buy OnePlus smartphones before you check the lowest & Latest OnePlus mobile phone prices in Pakistan, compare features & online prices
OnePlus was initially established on 16 December 2013 by the previous vice-president of OPPO Company, Pete Lau. As indicated by the Chinese government's documentation, the leading institutional investor in OnePlus is Oppo. Even though Lau at first denied that OnePlus was an entirely possessed auxiliary of an endless supply of the administrative filings, they conceded its claimed by Oppo and are "in converses with different financial specialists" (albeit nothing has reported to date).
The organization's primary objective was to outline a cell phone that would adjust the top of the line quality with a lower cost than different telephones in its class, trusting that clients would "Never Settle" (for the lower-quality gadgets delivered by various organizations. Lau clarified that "we will never be diverse only for being extraordinary.
Everything done needs to enhance the real client involvement in every day utilize. He additionally demonstrated goals of being the "Muji of the tech business," stressing its attention on top-notch items with oversimplified, easy to use plans. Proceeding with Lau's relationship with the stage from the Oppo N1, OnePlus went into a selective permitting concurrence with Cyanogen Inc. to construct its items' Android circulation for a variation of the mainstream custom ROM CyanogenMod and utilize its trademarks outside of China.
The very first device launched on 23 April 2014 by the company was the OnePlus One.
One of the most successful pieces by the company is the OnePlus 5T which features overhauled 6.01" Full Optic 1080x2160 AMOLED the show, which the organization calls the Sunlight display and claims to give a fresh and brilliant experience notwithstanding when utilized as a part of a bright situation, for example, when outside.
The display utilizes the 18:9 (2:1) perspective proportion rather than the 16:9 viewpoint proportion found in many cell phones, and backings the DCI-P3 full shading extent standard. It likewise has a pixel thickness of 401ppi and highlights littler bezels than seen in past OnePlus cell phones, for example, the OnePlus 5 and 3T. The 5T's body is made totally of anodized aluminum, utilizes 2.5D Gorilla Glass 5 as assurance for the show, and uses an artistic covering for the unique mark sensor.

I'm a 30 year old from Glasgow, Scotland who likes to write self-reflective blog posts, the occasional review, and whatever else pops into my brain. I've stayed here all of my life but I'm hoping to travel the world, develop some photography skills, write down stories, and enjoy nature at its finest.
I'm into all sorts of music and have been obsessed with the Ruins album from First Aid Kit lately who I've seen live and can confirm that they are incredible. Any artist who has a knack for good lyrics and poetry (Nick Cave, Bruce Springsteen, Laura Marling and Leonard Cohen among a few) will find themselves constantly on loop in my house.
I also love a good book and I enjoy fantasy novels but the more meaningful books, to me, are ones that have that believable human connection. Give me the flaws, the imperfections, the grey areas before any perfect worlds. Magic isn't everything, folks. Saying that, I wish it was real.
I have a black cat who is the clumsiest creature in all existence. Seriously, he has no spatial awareness. He wakes me up in the middle of the night all the time with his nocturnal sprints down the hall, clattering into tables, and scratching at things. Honestly, I'd rather have a sloth.
This blog will feature all manners of things which probably won't make any sense or will be mad ramblings or self-pitying posts but I hope they're all entertaining and won't bore you. I'n mainly trying to connect with other creative souls around the globe and share our passions for all things concerning art; stories, films, books, painting, photography – anything that tells a story.
Let's connect! 🌸 x

Next to a death in the family, moving is considered the next most stressful thing. Imagine how stressful it can be if you not only have to sell your house, but you have to sell it fast.
Although you may be faced with this situation don't make a decision that you will kick yourself for later. When you have to sell your house, it is important that you are aware of the options so you can make the decision that best satisfies your current situation and needs.
There are numerous ways to sell your home. Let's look at the most popular:
- List your house with a realtor
- Attempt to sell it privately, and
- Solicit offers from cash home buyers in Arizona
List Your House with a Realtor
This is the conventional method used by most people. It invariably results in the best price for the property, but it can take an inordinate amount of time. If you are on a tight deadline, a realtor may not be the best choice.
Try to Sell the House Yourself
If you were to attempt to sell your home yourself, you would certainly save the realtors commission. Selling your home privately may be a practical solution in a seller's market; however, rarely is this the case. It takes skill and acumen to sell a house, and you are responsible for arranging an attorney and title company to help in the closing.
Cash Homebuyers
If you don't have the time or money to repair any defects and bring the house up to a saleable condition, cash homebuyers in Arizona are ideal. You do not have to do any repairs. They purchase the home as is. Nor do you have to wait for a buyer to arrange financing. They are ready to pay cash. Within a week or so, the deal can be completed. You can move on with your life without the burden of a house you do not want or need.

Young Carers Awareness Day
Today is young carers awareness day.
I've been painting furniture and thinking.
From my dad's Ulcerative Collitis to mum's Endometriosis to my sister being born severely disabled . (Quite a few of my early memories also point to my mum being quite depressed when I was little)
I was a young carer from age 5
I'd not really considered that before today.
You just assume your family is normal don't you?
I'm not even sure if young carers existed in the 1980's.
The emotional support I found myself offering before I could deal with my own had a lasting effect. The mentalisation course I am currently on is part of me learning to deal with this.
Hearing another speak of her experience of being a young carer herself really got me thinking yesterday and today as young carers awareness day.
A big shout out today for #youngcarerswareness and the amazing work local support groups do, so children do not have to face it on their own.

- Everolimus is the first adjunctive therapy shown in a prospective randomized Phase III study to achieve clinically significant seizure control in TSC patients1.
- Seizures are the most common TSC-related neurological condition, yet about 60% of patients don't attain seizure control with available anti-epileptic therapies2.
Novartis has announced results from a Phase III study showing Afinitor®* (everolimus), when used as an adjunctive therapy, significantly reduced treatment-resistant seizures associated with tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) compared to placebo1. Patients in all treatment arms were also taking one to three anti-epileptic drugs (AEDs)1. The study, EXIST-3 (EXamining everolimus In a Study of TSC), is being presented during a plenary session at the 68th Annual Meeting of the American Academy of Neurology (AAN) (Abstract #32430, 9:00-11:00 a.m. PST)1.
"Approximately 85% of individuals with TSC are affected by epilepsy at some point in their lives, yet nearly two-thirds of these patients do not achieve seizure control with available therapies, and may also experience other potentially serious consequences, such as neuropsychological, cognitive, social or learning disabilities," said Jacqueline A. French, MD, department of neurology, NYU Langone Medical Center and lead investigator of the EXIST-3 trial. "These findings are encouraging as this is the first clinical study demonstrating benefit specifically for TSC patients who suffer from treatment-resistant seizures."
In the study, 366 patients with TSC and treatment-resistant seizures were randomized to receive targeted concentrations of everolimus titrated to Low Exposure (LE; 3-7 ng/mL; n=117) or High Exposure (HE, 9-15 ng/mL; n =130), or placebo (n=119). The percentage reduction from baseline in seizure frequency was significantly greater among patients randomized to everolimus LE (29.3%, P=0.003; confidence interval [CI]=95%) and HE (39.6%, P<0.001; CI=95%) vs placebo (14.9%; CI=95%). Seizure response rate (≥50% reduction) was also significantly greater with everolimus LE (28.2%, P=0.008; CI=95%) and HE (40.0%, P<0.001; CI=95%) vs placebo (15.1%; CI=95%). The most common (≥20%) adverse events (AEs) reported with everolimus LE/HE vs placebo included stomatitis (28.2%/30.8% vs 3.4%), mouth ulceration (23.9%/21.5% vs 4.2%), and diarrhea (17.1%/21.5% vs 5.0%). Serious AEs reported were 13.7%/13.8% vs 2.5%.
"There has been a long-standing need to find a treatment option for TSC patients that provides control of treatment-resistant seizures and we are encouraged that data from the EXIST-3 study show everolimus may have this potential," said Alessandro Riva, MD, Global Head, Novartis Oncology Development and Medical Affairs. "Over the past decade, Novartis has remained committed to the TSC community, improving care for patients and conducting research we hope will bring us closer to addressing some of the most debilitating TSC manifestations."
Tuberous sclerosis complex is a rare genetic disorder affecting up to one million people worldwide and everolimus is the only approved non-surgical option indicated for treating non-cancerous brain and kidney tumors in certain patients with TSC3,4,5. EXIST-3 study results show that everolimus is the first adjunctive therapy to achieve clinically significant seizure control in TSC patients and will be the basis for discussion with health authorities worldwide1.
Everolimus works by inhibiting the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), a protein that regulates multiple cellular functions. TSC is caused by mutations in the TSC1 or TSC2 genes, resulting in hyperactive signaling of the mTOR pathway which can lead to increased cellular growth and proliferation, neuronal hyper-excitability, abnormalities in cortical architecture and network function and impaired synaptic plasticity6,7. Pre-clinical research suggests that hyperactive mTOR activity may influence several mechanisms of epileptogenesis, the gradual process by which the brain develops epilepsy8.
EXIST-3 study details
EXIST-3 is a Phase III, three-arm, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study of the efficacy and safety of high and low exposure ranges of everolimus as adjunctive therapy in patients with TSC who have treatment-resistant seizures, defined as seizures persisting despite the use of two AEDs. The study enrolled male and female participants (ages 2.2-56.3) with clinically defined TSC, who were on stable doses of one to three AEDs for at least four weeks prior to a two month, pre-randomization, evaluation period1.
The primary objective was to assess the effectiveness of adjunctive everolimus as compared to placebo in reducing seizures in patients with TSC who are taking one to three AEDs. Secondary objectives include the percentage of patients free from seizure during the maintenance period and change in seizure frequency.
The most frequent ≥10% all grade adverse events (AEs) reported with everolimus LE/HE vs placebo included stomatitis (28.2%/30.8% vs 3.4%), mouth ulceration (23.9%/21.5% vs 4.2%), diarrhea (17.1%/21.5% vs 5.0%), nasopharyngitis (13.7%/16.2% vs 16.0%), upper respiratory tract infection (12.8%/15.4% vs 12.6%), aphthous ulcer (4.3%/14.6% vs 1.7%) pyrexia (fever) (19.7%/13.8% vs 5.0%), vomiting (12.0%/10.0% vs 9.2%), cough (11.1%/10.0% vs 3.4%) and rash (6.0%/10.0% vs 2.5%)1.
About tuberous sclerosis complex
Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) may cause non-cancerous tumors to form in vital organs including the brain, kidney, heart, lungs and skin, as well as resulting disorders such as epilepsy, autism, cognitive impairment, behavioral problems and psychiatric disorders. Many people with TSC show evidence of the disease in the first year of life. However, because manifestations vary from person to person and can take years to develop, many children are not diagnosed until later in life, often with the onset of seizures, skin lesions or other significant symptoms, such as developmental delays. Because TSC is a lifelong condition, the latest professional diagnostic guidelines issued in 2012 advise that individuals be monitored by a doctor experienced with the disorder to ensure tumor growth or new symptoms are identified early6,9.
About everolimus
In the United States (US), everolimus is approved as Afinitor® for the treatment of adult patients with renal angiomyolipoma and tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC), not requiring immediate surgery. Afinitor tablets and Afinitor Disperz™ are also indicated in the US in pediatric and adult patients with TSC for the treatment of subependymal giant cell astrocytoma (SEGA) that requires therapeutic intervention but cannot be curatively resected.
In the European Union (EU), everolimus is approved as Votubia® for the treatment of adult patients with renal angiomyolipoma associated with TSC who are at risk of complications (based on factors such as tumor size or presence of aneurysm, or presence of multiple or bilateral tumors) but who do not require immediate surgery. The evidence is based on analysis in sum of angiomyolipoma volume. Votubia is also indicated in the EU for the treatment of patients with SEGA associated with TSC who require therapeutic intervention but are not amenable to surgery. The evidence is based on analysis of change in SEGA volume. Further clinical benefit, such as improvement in disease-related symptoms, has not been demonstrated.
Additionally, Afinitor is approved in 99 countries, including the US and throughout the EU, for locally advanced, metastatic or unresectable progressive neuroendocrine tumors (NET) of pancreatic origin and in the US for the treatment of adult patients with progressive, well-differentiated, nonfunctional NET of gastrointestinal (GI) or lung origin that are unresectable, locally advanced or metastatic. It is also approved in >120 countries including the US and EU for advanced renal cell carcinoma following progression on or after vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-targeted therapy (in the US, specifically following sunitinib and sorafenib). Afinitor is also approved in 102 countries including the US and EU for advanced HR+/HER2- breast cancer in combination with exemestane, after prior endocrine therapy.
Everolimus is also available from Novartis under the brand names Afinitor®, Certican® and Zortress® for use in oncology and transplant patient populations and is exclusively licensed to Abbott and sublicensed to Boston Scientific for use in drug-eluting stents.
Indications vary by country and not all indications are available in every country. The safety and efficacy profile of everolimus has not yet been established outside the approved indications. Because of the uncertainty of clinical trials, there is no guarantee that everolimus will become commercially available for additional indications anywhere else in the world.

You're Devin Hester, it's a Friday night, and you're at a local casino, minding your own business as you stand in line to cash out after a profitable night of gambling, when all of a sudden …
Slap! Right to the back of your head.
Read full article after the jumpTrue story, courtesy of the Chicago Tribune: Daniel Rago, 52, was arrested last Friday at Rivers Casino in Des Plaines, Ill., after police said he approached the Bears' receiver/return man, slapped him in the back of the head, and simply walked away. Rather than retaliate, Hester notified the casino's security team, which escorted Rago to a holding area until police arrested him on a charge of misdemeanor battery
"There was no brawl, no melee that drew attention to the situation," Des Plaines Police Chief Jim Prandini said, adding that Hester was "very professional."
Rago posted a $100 bond and is scheduled to appear in court Dec. 1. Since he didn't offer any explanation for his alleged actions, allow us to put on our detective hat.
This reeks of a dare, except one thing works against that theory: Do 52-year-old men partake in such childish acts? OK, so if it wasn't a dare, then maybe this was a bold Vikings fan hoping to provoke Hester into getting arrested just before Sunday night's game against Minnesota. Or maybe Rago was just being drunk and stupid, which would make sense since police said he had been drinking.
Whatever the case, Hester definitely deserves a pat on the back for keeping his cool. It's hard to imagine too many other guys could've avoided escalating the situation.

Son Volt undergoes a wide swing
By Roger Len Smith, October 1998
And like some of the old-school bands of the '60's and '70's (Crazy Horse, The Byrds, Flying Burrito Brothers), they harken back to, the band is prolific with three strong studio albums released in less than four years. Son Volt's newest, Wide Swing Tremolo, continues where their last one, "Straightaways," left off.
Fresh off a high school auditorium gig in Boulder, Col., singer-songwriter and leader of the band, Jay Farrar, spoke about his new album and the beauty of alternating between the acoustic and electric guitars. Though the new album is predominantly an electric affair, with a large handful of hard-rocking nuggets, the band recently found themselves doing a largely acoustic-oriented three-week tour."The tour's not completely in sync with the new release," cites Farrar from a hotel room in Salina, Kansas, "but since we're touring before it comes out, it somehow makes more sense. More or less, we're just trying to do something a little different."
The three Son Volt albums - the first being 1994's "Trace" - all have their share of acoustic moments from the straight country balladry of "Windfall" from "Trace" to the bittersweet "Blind Hope" that closes "Wide Swing Tremolo."
"It's something we've always done quite a bit of," says the soft-spoken Farrar. "Over the course of three recordings, we've always done at least an acoustic segment in the show. It's not anything new to us, we're just doing a bit more of it, though, which is a good thing."
Farrar, who's in his early 30's, was previously in the seminal alt.-country-rock band Uncle Tupelo in the late '80's. Son Volt also includes drummer Mike Heidorn from UT. They had performed with bassist Jim Boquist, which led to Jim's brother Dave. joining, playing banjo, fiddle, lap steel and guitar.
Farrar has been something of an influence on a whole generation of singer-songwriters looking for something a little different than the typically bland fare of country, rock or pop.
"The approach is to keep as much live as possible in the studio," Farrar says of his band's recording technique. "We've probably done more overdubs on this recording than previous ones, but still the basic tracks are all done live from the acoustic guitar to the vocals on the acoustic numbers. Maybe just the solo sections are added later, and the backup vocals and percussion."
"There's a chamberlain on 'Carry You Down,'" he says, "and there's a dulcimer on 'Dead Man's Clothes,' but actually we put a pickup on it, so it's more of an electric dulcimer."
Farrar plays harmonica on several songs and dulcimer. "That was part of what came with the opportunity to record in our rehearsal space," he explains, "was that I was able to start writing some songs on some of the instruments we had lying around such as the dulcimer or electric piano."
"Wide Swing Tremolo" is one of the more consistent rock recordings of the '90's. While the first two Son Volt albums have many worthwhile moments, the new one is perhaps the strongest. After kicking off with the raging electric rock of "Straightface," the band takes a typical melodic turn with the beautiful "Driving The View." Much of the album follows suit.
"At lot of it was recorded in short segments," Farrar recalls. "The band would get together right before going on tour. We'd do a little bit of recording and then go on tour and then the rest of it was a couple weeks in block segments."
Their rehearsal space is in Farrar's hometown of St. Louis "It's an old factory store," he explains. "It's very conducive to recording, and we just have that much more space. It allows us to do the songs as many times as we want or to try as many different variations as we feel like trying."
And while the band always records live, organically from the ground up, so to speak, they took their time a bit more with "Wide Swing."
"It was (a longer) process compared to the way the band in the past," he says. "Before, probably four weeks was the amount of time we spent and on this one, I think we spent eight weeks. Including mixing, it was probably 10. I think I just spent a couple days doing the sequence (of the song order). I'm always trying to achieve the right balance between the acoustic and electric numbers."
The band also doesn't record much more than what they expect will be on the record, so there aren't too many outtakes. "Just a few other songs," says Farrar, "there was another version of 'Driving The View,' there's an acoustic version of that. And, we did a cover song, 'Holocaust,' by Big Star."
The 41-second instrumental "Jodel" (pronounced 'yodel') is a little different than your standard Son Volt fare. "It's actually multitracked harmonica," Farrar explains, "I wanted to hear what three harmonicas playing at the same time would sound like. It's a chromatic harmonica."
Farrar, who's married, offers no mystery into his songwriting process. "It comes in bits and fragments," he says very matter-of-factly. "That part of the process is spontaneous, but after you have a melody line or a piece of lyric, from that point, it's more of a conscious process. Sometimes a whole song can come out in a fairly spontaneous way. Generally, I write the songs and record them on a four-track or a cassette at home and then give them to the band. It's never predetermined which way the songs will go, be it electric or acoustic, we decide when the band gets together."
Farrar started playing guitar when he was in his early teens, but didn't start writing until he was 21. Regarding his approach to writing lyrics, Farrar is also rather nonchalant, though his songs hardly are.
"I'm not overly cautious or anything, lyrically," he says, "I generally might do one rough draft and then revise it or something. Just write it once or twice and then it's done."
And while the road is certainly long and wide, Farrar seems to prefer to write at home. "I have written (on the road), but not too much," he says. "In general it's kind of hard to find the time, there are a lot of distractions. I do get ideas, just some fragments of songs on the road, I'll put them on a portable cassette player or just scraps of paper and then try to put them all together later."

The plaintiff accused the Federal Aviation Administration, the Social Security Administration and the United States Department of Transportation of violating the Privacy Act when the agencies shared information about his Social Security long-term disability benefits. As we said in our last post, the majority decision turned on the Privacy Act's use of the term "actual damages."
