CRR Chain: Rising Brazilian Beef Exports to China to Test Sustainability Commitments
Research by Chain Reaction Research, shows that increased Brazilian beef exports to China are likely to test sustainability commitments in both countries. China (including Hong Kong) imported 44 percent of Brazil's total beef exports in 2018, compared to 40 percent in 2017 and 35 percent in 2016. Brazil, the largest exporter of beef in the world even though most of the country's beef is consumed domestically, shipped 1.64 million tonnes to foreign countries in 2018, a 10 percent increase from the year before. In 2019, exports are expected to rise again, reaching 1.8 million tonnes, with high volumes still heading to China.
Cattle ranching in Brazil remains a major driver of deforestation, despite companies – both retailers and meatpackers – making commitments to deforestation-free supply chains. A Chain Reaction Research (CRR) report published in September 2018 showed that cattle-driven deforestation in the Amazon and the Cerrado has occurred as a result of leakage and insufficient monitoring and implementation.

AUSPELD (The Australian Federation of SPELD Associations) supports the implementation of the Phonics Check in Australia because of its potential to identify students at risk of literacy failure. The reasons for this support are outlined in a letter sent to the Ministers prior to the meeting.

What is your specialism within book publishing?
Typesetting, page layout and producing print-ready PDFs.
Can you describe what you do in 10 words or fewer?
Making books easy to read with good typography and layout.
What led you to go freelance?
Two things: Towards the end of 2015 I was made redundant along with all the other staff of Robert Hale Ltd when they ceased trading. Their imprints were taken over by another publisher, The Crowood Press, and as there were titles in progress arrangements were made for me to acquire the iMac I used and finish off those jobs. While continuing to do the odd job on a freelance basis for The Crowood Press, I took on a maternity cover contract at DK. The contract was extended and I was there for 14 months. They are a really good publisher to work for and I learned a lot but it was not a creative role and the commute meant I was permanently exhausted. So when that contract came to an end, it was a good opportunity for me to stop commuting and build on what I had done for The Crowood Press. Chapter One Book Production has now been in action for two years.
Do you work primarily for publishing companies or independent authors or a mix?
It's a good mix now. I still do regular work for The Crowood Press, mostly non-fiction now that the fiction list has transferred to another publisher. I also do work for independent authors and more recently I've started collaborating with a number of book coaches to handle the design and production stage of getting their clients' books published.
What's the best part of doing what you do?
The sheer variety of books that I get to work on. I've done the page layout for crime and contemporary fiction; various historical titles; biographies; health, wellness and lifestyle books; a couple of recipe books; and much more.
What do you know now that you wish you had known when you started your freelance journey?
I can't do it all and you have to show up consistently when you're using social media as a means of marketing communication. You have to recognise when you need help with running your own business. In the last year I've taken part in a Mastermind course for LinkedIn and got some expert guidance on marketing and mindset.
How many books are in your TBR (to be read) pile/list? And do you plan to read them all eventually?
A lot! At the last count there were over 200. It's a phenomenon known as Tsundoku. I do aim to read them all eventually but I might have to retire before that happens. I think I've at least got to the stage where the TBR gets added to at the same rate that I read.
Do you prefer physical books or ebooks?
I love physical books. I love seeing what special finishes have been used on the cover and how the book has been laid out, as well as enjoying reading a good story and actually turning pages. I resisted getting a Kindle for a long time but wouldn't be without it now. Ebooks mean I don't have to use half my luggage allowance for books when going on holiday.
Do you have any advice for anyone considering a career in publishing?
Being passionate about books and reading is a prerequisite for any career in publishing. Part of the reason for this blog is to show some of the roles involved in getting a book from the author's script to printed or digital book. Consider where you want to specialise, both in terms of the particular role and the type of book – fiction, non-fiction, academic, education, children's – before committing to any studies. Also remember that the publishing world is full of people working on a freelance basis so you don't necessarily have to find a job within a trade publisher, though it is undoubtedly good experience if you can. It's a very competitive industry.
What is your favourite children's book and your favourite adult's book?
I'm going with the titles that I have reread most.
The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe by C.S. Lewis is my favourite children's book. I could completely lose myself in Narnia.
Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier is probably still my favourite adult's book. 2018 marked 80 years since it's original publication but I still love the gothic tale and volunteered a few years ago to give out copies of it for World Book Night, which happens every 23rd April.
Not giving the website since you're already here! Please do explore the rest of my site.

I am thinking it might be to do with some form of identity. Feeling 'Theravadin' or feeling 'Zennie' when seduced by a particular practice/tradition.
I keep telling myself these things but it helps little in terms of the mind succumbing to the waves of attachment and clinging to views.
My Pali is sadly lacking, but I listened to a talk by Shaila Catherine recently. she was speaking about the dangers of fixation 'Diti'? That all seemed to ring true. Not being tethered to a particular view as it becomes our yoke. We can become like a dog chained to a post.
Its so powerful as it can incorporate everything that could be linked to a tradition. Food, music even down to the type of film I might watch.
Being liberated from this would be nice...!
Apply mindfulness when these feelings arise. Insight must dawn within, we can only show you the door and gives theories.

It is no easy feat treading the fine line between robust practicalities and sporting good looks. Enter the SEAT Ateca: the car you can be proud to have on the drive and can rely on in any situation. Daily school runs and trips away have never been so sophisticated.
Everything about the exterior of the SEAT Ateca booms confidence. From its two honeycomb grilles to the angular headlights and sturdy bumpers, it lets you know that it handle tough drives. Optional roof rails make long trips away with sports gear even easier and dark tinted rear windows prevent glare for your passengers whilst adding sporty style. To add another dimension to the drives and please the crowd in the back seats, opt for the SE trim level and choose the panoramic sunroof.
Thanks to its curved bonnet and sharp exterior lines, it looks just as at home in the city as it does crawling through the rugged country lanes. LED headlights and LED daytime running lights give the Ateca a sharper profile and make sure you are unmissable on the roads.
Comfort and practicality go hand in hand inside the Ateca. A high seating position gives you a full view of the road ahead while the choice of leather or a strong cloth have been purposely chosen to withstand everyday rigours. 510 litres of space in the boot will fit the pushchairs, bags and sports gear without a hitch.
You can choose the right ambience for your drives with a wide selection of different lighting colours, ranging from cool grey through to vivid red and calming green.
Upgrade to the SE and FR to get everyone comfortable with dual-zone air conditioning and arm rests. Lumbar adjustment is also included in the superior trim levels for the front seats to keep you and your comrade well-supported on long drives.
There are a five engine choices to choose from; two petrol and three diesel. Petrol choices include the 1.0-litre TSI 115PS Ecomotive and the 1.4-litre Eco-TSI 150PS. Diesel engines start at the 1.6-litre TDI 115PS Ecomotive and go up to the 2.0-litre 190PS versions, one of which has dual-clutch technology for smoother gearbox transmissions. The 1.4-litre petrol and 2.0-litre diesel engines are only available with the SE and above trim levels and the latter is the fastest of the group, achieving top speeds of 125mph.
Blind Spot Detection and Rear Cross Traffic Alert notify you or automatically stop the car if an obstacle is dangerously close by. Front Assist helps you to retain a safe distance from the car in front, warning you or slowing down the car when the gap closes. Urban driving is easier and safer thanks to the City Emergency Braking system which quickly stops the car if it detects a pedestrian. These features all come as standard to ensure you and your family are kept safe while on the road.
Opt for the Driving Assistance Pack which includes Lane Assist, High Beam Assist and Traffic Sign Recognition: Lane Assist keeps you in a steady line on the motorway; Traffic Sign Recognition lets you know the correct speed limit and travel restrictions for the road; and High Beam Assist automatically dips the headlights to reduce glare for other drivers.
On the dashboard sits a five-inch touchscreen (eight-inch in the SE, FR AND XCELLENCE trim levels) that plays host to the media system. SE, FR & XCELLENCE variants feature for Full Link Technology – a handy system that connects to your phone apps so you can stay connected while on the move. In the XCELLENCE, you can charge compatible phones using a wireless charger so you are never left without all-important battery.
A rear view reversing camera is available in the upper trim levels, helping you to avoid a glitch on the paintwork whilst parking. Cruise control and satellite navigation are also on offer, taking the stress from your ankles and the guesswork out of finding the best route. SEAT Drive Profile is included (not in the 1.0-litre TSI Engine) which allows you to shift between five driving modes: Normal, Eco, Sport, Individual, Off Road and Snow. Switch from one to the other and the Ateca will automatically adjust its mechanical components, like the steering and traction, for the optimum experience.
Test drive the SEAT Ateca to explore its advanced features. Book an appointment with Chippenham Motor Company today by clicking on the button below or by phoning the team directly.

Hear from the Alliance's President Laura L. Lott about the new Strategic Plan.
Our Vision: A world informed and enriched by thriving museums
Our Mission: Champion museums and nurture excellence in partnership with our members and allies.
Translate the plan into other languages (Google Translate)
AAM's 2016-2020 strategic plan is the result of an 18-month effort of our staff and board of directors. During that process, we gathered input from more than 500 AAM members and non-members via 30 formal listening sessions.
We can tell you, but we'd rather show you. Read specific examples that help illustrate what we mean by the language in AAM's 2016-2020 Strategic Plan.
Museum boards and trustees are the connective tissue that links the museum and its mission to the community it serves. AAM's strategic plan calls for strengthening those connections by engaging museum boards and helping museum directors build and maintain the highest standards of good governance. Learn more about our trustee initiatives, including a new national survey of museum directors and museum board chairs, supported by Northern Trust and BoardSource.
How do you get teachers and school administrators to see museums as true year-round partners, not just a field trip destination? That's the challenge about to be tackled by Sage Morgan-Hubbard, who will join the Alliance August 1 as the Bell Education Fellow. Sage will play a key role in our strategic focus area of museums' expanding role in the evolving ecosystem of P-12 education.
AAM took a key step July 5 toward our strategic goal of connecting US-based museums to the global community, signing a partnership agreement with the International Council of Museums (ICOM) and its US committee, ICOM-US. The agreement sets the stage for broad international cooperation in the museum world, including new sharing of research and best practices.
What do we mean with our Access goal of a "digital platform for museum professionals to find and exchange relevant content." Well, for starters, Tier 3 museum members can now search and download nearly 1,000 sample documents online, covering everything from collections management plans to security guard manuals.
Are policymakers considering museums when they talk about education? The Alliance cosponsored an event for representatives of the 2016 presidential campaigns to discuss their education priorities, broadcast live from the Newseum and moderated by award-winning journalist Candy Crowley.
Museum Labor 3.0 – Internships, Wages, Hiring Bias and Inequities
How do we empower the broad museum workforce while ensuring equity and inclusion for museum workers? The Center for the Future of Museums is tackling these questions head-on in our sessions at the annual meeting, and also with three days of ongoing programming in MuseumExpo at the AAM Resource Center.

You often hear the phrase spouted that political correctness does not harm anyone. Proponents of this idea often claim that empathy-based regulation could not possibly turn out negative. Political correctness was developed as a way to not needless offend individuals who yield no benefit when outraged. I understand the sentiment, though I believe it is misguided.
What began as a simple attempt to protect the rights and feelings of all, has now turned into a hammer to bash political opponents who dare speak things not easily admitted. It is all too often used to stifle taboo developments and silence those who speak inconvenient truths. Facts and realities are all too often foregone for the sake of not offending.
This process utilizes a sort of victim hierarchy to determine who is worth protecting and who is worth opposing. This pyramid of oppression is based on certain traits such as race, religion, sexuality and gender. It is intrinsically tied to historical injustice, and those deemed as oppressed can seemingly do no wrong in the eyes of proponents. I understand trying to atone for historical injustice and prevent repetition of past mistakes, but when it comes at the direct expense of individual evaluation then my support halts.
People are judged as groups rather than individuals in a sort of progressive caste system which seeks to defend certain groups above others. Those who support this effort all too often exemplify hypocritical tactics in the form of treating perpetrators differently depending on these traits. Cases are of course to be taken on an individual basis as details vary wildly, but morality and punishment should never be amended based upon legacies of oppression. To attain true equality, the same principles of democracy must be applied universally to all within the system.
A disturbing development has recently come to light in the United Kingdom which should worry anyone who witnesses it. For several decades, thousands of young girls have been abducted, abused, sexually assaulted and in some cases even murdered. The perpetrators of these heinous acts are grooming gangs of a certain common background. These facts; as inconvenient and atrocious as they may be, are all too real and still continue unabated. Google: "Telford and Rotherham grooming gang scandals", and you will see for yourself.
What is almost as sickening however, has been the response from the police jurisdictions trusted with maintaining order and seeking justice. Namely, the complete absence of any sort of effort on their part. Their response is at best sheer ignorant incompetence, and at worst a colluded effort of criminal negligence. You'd think that a story as disgusting and widespread as this would be all over the news, right? And yet very little has been done.
You see, the perpetrators of these crimes all have a crucial detail in common. They share a certain religious doctrine which has wedged itself at the peak of the victim paradigm. In the eyes of some, these perpetrators are victims themselves and can thusly do no wrong. These gangs use religious justification in order to account for their systematic abduction and subsequent sexual enslavement of young girls. It is beyond depraved, and yet the refusal to acknowledge these events and failure to recognize or rectify them is evermore despicable. Treating those responsible different based upon their own victim status is not equality, and it will not help achieve it. It is a cowardice excusal and the bigotry of low expectations. But it gets much worse.
One of the excuses offered for police inaction is the fear of being branded a racist or xenophobe. Imagine, you were to refuse doing your job because of fear of being called a name. This is the problem with political correctness. They will excuse any and all actions of oppressed groups, for a faux attempt at forced equality and mandated multi-culturalism. All of this at the direct expense of victims of atrocity in order to preserve the charade of being progressive. If a police force cannot be trusted to prosecute or even investigate those responsible for trafficking young girls to be violated in the most vile of ways, then what purpose does the police force serve exactly? Inaction in this instance is nothing short of abstract cowardice. Protection of children should be unquestionably paramount to any society that prides itself on being considered civilized.
As most are likely aware by now, the surge of the refugee pilgrimage to European nations has come with a few hiccups. One of the most diabolic is that of the exponential increase in reported sexual assaults. These reports are almost exclusively a one-way street, with recent migrants being the main perpetrators. The longer action is refused, the more the populace will grow restless. Silencing hate speech and making pariahs of those who speak out accomplishes nothing, because the events will continue despite any efforts made to obfuscate them. Furthermore, the longer these grooming gangs are ignored and pardoned, the more emboldened they will become and the more frequent these reports will be. And yet despite all this, things will get much worse.
Those who dare speak about this issue are often branded as hateful individuals and routinely targeted by "anti-fascist" groups. Suppression of reality will never circumvent it. And concerted efforts to silence those who attempt to raise awareness will only result in more exposure and a larger backlash. If a civilization cannot trust its own police force to protect the most vulnerable among them, then it is only a matter of time before people take matters into their own hands. Mark my words, you will see acts of vigilantism grow across Europe in response to this failure of state responsibility. Ultimately people who have truly done nothing wrong will be caught in the crossfire, but at that point all bets are off.
You hear the word "fascist" tossed around an awful lot nowadays. Many ascribe it to those who speak on these controversial issues which could be construed as bigoted in some way. The ad hominem attacks are nothing but substitutes for argument and pathetic attempts to change the conversation. You do not prove a man wrong by cutting out his tongue, you only prove that you fear what he may say. Populist conservatism is on the rise right now and will continue if these issues are not addressed. This problem will not go away if it is not tackled head on, and those responsible are made to account for their actions. How long do you honestly think people are going to be silent when their children are in danger? The longer peaceful concerned voices are stifled, the higher the likelihood of a less peaceful and more venomous voice rising becomes. You think Tommy Robinson, Marine Le Pen, Geert Wilders, Nigel Farage and Donald Trump are fascists? YOU HAVEN'T SEEN ANYTHING YET.
There will come a time in which contempt and frustration will reach a boiling point in Europe. Someone will rise from the people and exploit these sentiments to seize power. They will speak freely on the fears exhibited by the people, whether authentic or not, and they will be supported. People have a tendency to be drawn to extremists when in dire situations, and a populist will rise to quell the storm by any means necessary. At which point, no amount of insults of accusations of bigotry will impede them in any capacity. Civil discourse will break down entirely, and the use of force will be implemented. Chaos is a ladder, and fascists are good climbers.
I do not write this article to gloat when the time arrives, and believe me it will. I write this as a direct warning to those who ignore inconvenient realities for the sake of appearing tolerant. I do not wish for these things to come to pass, but I see the storm brewing on the horizon. If you are a true anti-fascist like I am, and value liberty, justice and peaceful resolution, then the time to speak is now. Words and peaceful resolution only work for so long. If the conversation is ignored altogether, then you can be sure there will be a rise in violent sentiments. If the populace is deafened by inaction, then physical force is always the next step.
If any of the survivors of these grooming gangs ever happen to stumble upon this obscure blog, I have a few things I'd like to say to you.
I am so very sorry for the horrible atrocities you have been forced to endure. Words simply cannot express the sorrow I feel for you. I am sorry for your abuse, and I am sorry that your own government has abandoned you out of sheer cowardice. These horrible things you have been subjected to are not your fault, and I do so desperately hope you are able to attain peace in your life. You have been robbed of your justice, you have been robbed of your liberty, but you are not your past. You are stronger than the vile actions of those depraved individuals. I truly wish the best for you in your life, and hope you are able to find healing and peace for yourself. And if ever you feel as though the world has forgotten and does not care for your suffering, remember that I, and many others truly do.
Be well.

Recently I was in a yoga class when we reached the backbending sequence. The instructor then stated, 'We're going to do three backbends now. My teacher always does three, so that's just the way it is.' Visions of my initiation arose: the mandatory three bridges or wheels that marked the beginning of the ending of class. Somewhere along the line 'three' became the rule; many Hatha and Vinyasa teachers have stuck with it, as if mandated in the Sutras.
There's nothing wrong with respecting your teacher or having a foundation. What concerns me is the dogmatism that sometimes infects instructors and students. The physicality that has emerged as the focal point of yoga has ironically created an inflexibility in the minds of its proponents. As it turns out, this is one of the worst things we can do for our brains.
The Spice of Life
Some forms of yoga require the same sequence each time you step on the mat. Bikram is one, and must be taught with the same cues and timing across the planet. Ashtanga is another, though there are levels you can progress to over time. Many Hatha and Vinyasa classes are routine and don't change it up much. One studio in Park Slope, for example, requires that its instructors teach three Series A and three Series B sequences every class. From there, personal flavor is allowed.
I understand the premise of such a practice: when you know the sequence, the entire practice becomes a moving meditation. You learn the postures from the inside out. If you've done yoga for a few years, you know that you constantly learn and relearn postures as you age, so there's always something new to learn inside of the familiar stances.
And yet repetition stunts growth. As neuroscientist Michael Merzenech writes,
Activities you have already mastered—even if you found them challenging at one point—won't do your brain much good.
Any asana—the Sanskrit word for posture which originally meant 'seat'—can be a place for meditation. The problem arises, in part, because of dualistic tendencies of some yoga practitioners, when they separate 'body' from 'mind,' and even worse, throw 'spirit' into the mix. This archaic understanding of our bodies and brains promotes an unhealthy disassociation from the totality of what we are as animals.
As Merzenech suggests, to develop a healthy brain one should partake in activities that provide the following:
- They should teach you something new.
- They should be challenging.
- They should be progressive.
- They should engage your great brain processing systems.
- They should be rewarding.
- They should be novel or surprising.
At least half of these are not accomplished when you perform the same yoga routine day after day. This might be fine if yoga is only part of your physical workout. If it is your only workout, or at least the major focus of your exercise regimen, over time your brain health will suffer from a lack of diversity.
Not About the Postures?
One of the most unfortunate mantras voiced by instructors is 'yoga is not about the postures.' If you're stating this in an asana class, you're contradicting yourself as well as belittling your students. You're being paid to teach postures. In my experiences, it is usually the instructors who say such things that forget to do poses from one side to the other, provide incongruent sequences and do not provide proper anatomical cues.
Yes, yoga is not just about postures, but we have to be real about what most people step into the studio for. If someone is there just for the workout, do we alienate him or her? Do we chastise a student who is predominantly concerned with getting the Warrior series correct? In my history as a teacher, it is only later that one gets a glimpse of the emotional and mental healing possible within the class. There's nothing wrong with teaching those other facets of yoga during a class, but to teach postures and then deny the importance of them is a blatant hypocrisy, and could help explain the growing number of injuries occurring due to yoga around the planet.
The 'Best' Workout
Another tragic consequence of such an attitude is thinking that yoga is the 'best' form of exercise, or that it offers something no other form of movement does. While rarely expressed in such outright terms, that's the sense one gets when an instructor focuses more on the spirituality of the exercise rather than on physiology, anatomy and neurology (i.e. not teaching that the kriya kapalabhati is a contraindication of anxiety disorder).
I've long been a fan of movement. Modern dance and capoeira opened the door to yoga for me in the late nineties. Today my yoga practice occurs alongside VIPR, TRX, Shockwave, 4×4 and the pilates-based Powerhouse. As a lifelong athlete, I've found the state of 'Flow' that one can achieve during a yoga practice in sports as well, as well as the same sense of refined focus and clarity in the above listed classes as when doing asanas.
Where yoga differs is in how it treats our nervous systems. This is predominantly achieved through breathing exercises and meditation, as well as the much beloved Savasana at the end of the practice. When someone asks me if yoga is 'enough,' I ask what they're hoping to achieve. To relieve anxiety and tension, boost your immune system and sedate an overactive nervous system? Certainly. To help you attain optimal heart health through cardiovascular exercise? Definitely not. As a weight loss tool? Possibly, though given that it slows our metabolism, probably not too helpful.
I've come across a few teachers who only do home practices but then teach group classes. I've also known many that only go to the same handful of teachers or studio. While there is not set 'way' of practicing yoga, I think this is a shame. You can learn from anyone. It's important to know what you like, but it's equally if not more important to constantly challenge yourself. You can learn even in classes you don't particularly enjoy, take from it a nugget of inspiration that you can apply to your own groups.
In his wonderful book Spark, Harvard associate clinical professor of psychiatry John J Ratey states that the healthiest thing we can do for our brain is to exercise. And the healthiest forms of exercises are varied. I hope as we learn more about how our brains operate, we can cool the arrogance rampant in certain fundamentalist segments of the yoga community and learn from other disciplines as well as styles. We know that it's a healthy step in the right direction. We just have to take it.

- Original (As made)
This is the original version (as it was originally made). This item of legislation is currently only available in its original format.
13.—(1) For the purpose of enforcing articles 3 to 8 of this Order or any equivalent provisions, any British sea-fishery officer may–
(a)enter and inspect at any reasonable time any premises used for carrying on any business in connection with the operation of fishing boats or activities connected therewith or ancillary thereto or with the treatment, storage or sale of fish;
(b)take with that officer such other persons as appear to that officer to be necessary and any equipment or materials;
(c)examine any fishery product on the premises and require persons on the premises to do anything which appears to that officer to be necessary for facilitating the examination;
(d)carry out at such premises such other inspections or tests as may reasonably be necessary;
(e)require any person not to remove or cause to be removed any fishery product from such premises for such a period as may be reasonably necessary for the purposes of establishing whether a relevant offence has at any time been committed;
(f)require any person on the premises to produce any documents which are in the custody or possession of that person relating to the catching, landing, transportation, trans shipment, sale or disposal of any fish or to the entry to, or exit from, any port or harbour by any fishing vessel;
(g)for the purpose of ascertaining whether any person on the premises has committed a relevant offence, search the premises for any such document and may require any person on the premises to do anything which appears to that officer to be necessary for facilitating the search;
(h)inspect and take copies of any such document produced to that officer or found on the premises;
(i)require any appropriate or responsible person to render any such document on a computer system into a visible and legible form, including requiring it to be produced in a form in which it may be taken away; and
(j)if that officer has reason to suspect that a relevant offence has been committed, seize and detain any such document produced or found on the premises for the purpose of enabling the document to be used as evidence in proceedings for the offence.
(2) The provisions of paragraph (1) shall also apply in relation to any land used in connection with any of the activities described in paragraph (1), or in respect of any vehicle which a British sea-fishery officer has reasonable cause to believe is being used to transport fishery products, as they apply in relation to premises and, in the case of a vehicle, shall include power to require the vehicle to stop at any time and, if necessary, direct the vehicle to some other place to facilitate the inspection.
(3) If a sheriff, by information on oath, is satisfied–
(a)that there are reasonable grounds to believe that any documents or other items which a British sea fishery officer has power under this article to inspect are on any premises and that their inspection is likely to disclose evidence of the commission of a relevant offence; and
(i)that admission to the premises has been or is likely to be refused and that notice of intention to apply for a warrant has been given to the occupier;
(ii)that an application for admission or the giving of such notice would defeat the object of the entry; or
(iii)that the premises are unoccupied, or the occupier is temporarily absent and it might defeat the object of the entry to await the return of the occupier,
the sheriff may by signed warrant, valid for a period of no more than one month, authorise a British sea fishery officer to enter the premises, if need be by reasonable force, accompanied by such persons as appear to the officer to be necessary.

The roll-out of ceramic brackets in the 1980s was good news for patients and orthodontists seeking alternatives to the "metal mouth" look of traditional metal braces. Everybody wanted the versatility and the effectiveness of metal braces, but almost nobody was happy with the way they change a patient's appearance. Kids, of course, are rarely given veto power over parents' decisions about orthodontic treatment, but resentment is never a welcome addition to any family. The "metal mouth" complex undoubtedly kept many adults from a treatment which ultimately would be of great cosmetic and health benefit to them.
Metal braces are still with us, still work as well as they always have, and are still a cosmetic issue for most people. Two alternative approaches to treatment which have been developed to address aesthetic concerns are "invisible" aligner trays, such as Invisalign, and ceramic brackets, a field led by the 3M company's Clarity Ceramic product line. Each of the three options presents a package of advantages and disadvantages, which patients and orthodontists weigh in selecting the one most suited to the patient's condition, priorities, and resources.
The designers of Clarity Ceramic line worked from the observation that the brackets in traditional metal braces are the largest and most visible parts of the appliance. Brackets are bonded to the patient's teeth, and transfer pressure from the archwire to the teeth, causing them to move over time. The wire itself is very thin and relatively inconspicuous.
Clarity Ceramic brackets are transparent or translucent, so they blend in with the natural colors of the teeth they're bonded to. The ceramic material itself is the great innovation. The overall structure of an appliance with Clarity brackets is otherwise about the same as that of traditional metal braces and works the same way to reposition teeth.
Inconspicuous Clarity brackets encourage some patients and orthodontists to opt for tooth-colored, or "frosted" archwire, to take another step in the direction of invisibility. This leaves the elastic bands ( ligatures) that secure archwires to brackets as the most conspicuous part of the appliance, and these are available in color tones that blend in with the brackets and teeth. Ligatures also come in a variety of bright colors, chosen by patients who favor a decorative adaptation.
Some Clarity designs do away with the need for ligatures entirely. These self-ligating appliances eliminate the need for periodic replacement of ligatures, and also render the braces less visible.
The chief advantage Clarity Ceramic braces offer relative to metal braces is cosmetic. They're not invisible, to be sure, but are unquestionably much less conspicuous than metal, especially from a distance. The Clarity brackets in use today have solved the staining problem that early versions of sometimes had, so their color doesn't change during the treatment period. Ligatures, though, are porous and do absorb pigments from food and beverages. Ligatures are generally replaced during regular checkup and adjustment appointments.
Clarity Ceramic brackets are smaller than traditional metal brackets. Some patients find them more comfortable, some report the opposite. Their size may have hygienic benefits because thorough cleaning of the teeth is easier. As far as that goes, there's no difference in dental hygiene routine between metal and Clarity Ceramic: brushing and flossing as usual. Nor is there any difference between the two regarding food restrictions, or in the frequency of office appointments.
Metal brackets retain some advantages. Patients who need more extensive treatment will find the orthodontist leaning toward metal, and in some cases judging that Clarity Ceramic is not a viable option at all. Metal brackets can tolerate higher pressures than ceramic materials can, which leaves metal the only choice for some people, and in other cases tips the scales against the cosmetic advantages of ceramic. Some orthodontists are less inclined to recommend Clarity Ceramic for their youngest patients and are more disposed to offer this option to older teens and to adults.
In earlier versions, ceramic brackets developed a reputation for causing damage to enamel at the end of treatment, when brackets are removed. These concerns have largely been eliminated by improvements in bracket design, by bonding materials that can be deactivated with heat, and by laser technology methods of zapping the material so that it doesn't bond anymore. Orthodontic technique, too, has been modified and improved to remove brackets with a minimum of force and minimal risk of trauma.
Ceramic, though much stronger than metal in certain ways, is more brittle. For this reason, some patients who engage in contact sports may want to discuss the risks of chipping and breaking with their orthodontists before opting in.
Finally, there's the bottom line. Treatment with Clarity Ceramic braces costs more than equivalent treatment with metal brackets. How much more depends greatly on a patient's individual condition and on the practitioner. Assuming that the orthodontist finds that a patient's condition can be equally well treated with metal and with Clarity Ceramic braces, the choice between the two boils down to cosmetics: paying more for less visible appliances.
When an orthodontist determines that a patient can be treated without falling back on the traditional metal option, and offers a choice between aligner trays and Clarity Ceramic, there are practical factors to consider as well as cosmetic. Anyone would agree that Invisalign trays are less visible than a Clarity Ceramic appliance. But this advantage comes with some complications.
Aligner trays have to be removed before eating, and before drinking anything besides water. They have to be properly stored while they're out, and then the patient's teeth, and the aligners themselves, have to be thoroughly cleaned before they're replaced. These are unavoidable responsibilities. Patients considering the aligner tray option should carefully consider whether they're willing – and in some cases, whether they're able – to shoulder them faithfully. At home, it's not that hard to comply, but at work, in school, and while traveling, the inconvenience can be considerable. Or a deal-breaker.
The requirement to remove aligners before eating does provide one advantage some patients might appreciate: no special food restrictions. There's that.
Invisalign patients have to make more frequent office visits. About twice as often as patients with ceramic braces. The logistics of this commitment are an important consideration for some people.
Costs for Invisalign and Clarity Ceramic treatment are roughly comparable, though they vary considerably according to the extent of treatment required and by locale.
Other things being equal, an Invisalign patient is opting for superior cosmetics at the cost of inconvenience. Other things are never really equal, though, and it's important for patients to understand the orthodontist's evaluation of treatment prospects and potential outcomes. Patients considering orthodontic treatment should avoid becoming emotionally "committed" to one particular type of braces before being evaluated and hearing the orthodontist's presentation of the options and issues.

Learning can get boring for a child. Well, it can feel that way to anyone. Nevertheless, acquiring information is important. Therefore, it is possible to have fun with learning games. It helps keep children interested in learning and often children don't even realize they are acquiring information because they are having so much fun.
From learning colors, matching patterns to building team spirit and enjoying mathematics, educative games in the form of puzzles, flash cards, creative activities and communication skills, there are no end to enjoy learning.
Teachers know children need to have fun along with their learning. They often incorporate games into the day to keep children interested in learning as well as keeping their students' attention. Children love to play and playing games are fun. There are a variety of games that can be used in learning. Some that can be purchased and don't take work to provide to a class. These games are great for incorporating learning into fun as well. Such games can be great for family fun nights with a game night. Teachers, parents and caregivers can even create learning games. It can be fun to create a game specifically to what a child or group enjoy.
Acquiring information and educative games are available for all subjects. Playing and working are important to learn. It is a way to teach children that they can be happy and even enjoy work. When work is fun it allows a person, even a child, to be excited about learning. When they are eager to learn then they will be able to retain more information as it excites their natural curiosity.
An example is playing spelling learning games. It is a way to learn certain words, perhaps for a test, but allowing it to be fun. Children can be surprised when they take a spelling test following such a game. They might be taking the test and remember the game even. This will help them recall the proper spelling of the words from the game, helping young children know more about it.
Learning games can be geared toward all ages. A toddler that is learning to talk and starting to learn basics, such as the ABCs must have fun while learning as does a teenager learning difficult science terms. When a child learns how to have fun while acquiring information they will even take these techniques with them to use as they grow older. Any lesson can be made into a game. It can be games for individuals as well as games for groups allowing the entire class to work together. All that is needed is finding out the best ways to inculcate the love of learning, spark the imagination of the child or just assist the teenager to imbibe the information better. It is possible that children enjoy educative games so much that they start asking to play. There is no better way to help a child learn than by involving them into free-spirited games while for the active kids, there are outdoor activities to enjoy.

Darren Cooper explains our new post-season awards format and plans for our grand awards celebration in June.
Another high school sports season is coming to a close, as the spring season begins to wind down.
NorthJersey.com is announcing player-of-the-year nominees from various high school sports, with winners announced at the North Jersey Sports Awards show June 14 at Bergen Performing Arts Center.

Cherry Tenneson (vynal workshop)
Fred Aldous (laser workshop)
Fred Aldous was established in 1886 on Elbow Street, Manchester by a gentleman named Fred Aldous. Its a Family run business provided good quality arts and craft materials. The shop is located in the Northern Quarter of the city which is a prime location as the area is the most up an coming area of the city. its popularity is growing with students and the creative. It is also close to the Manchester arts and craft center where some of its resident regularly use the facilities available. The shops produce cover everything from sewing and painting, to candle making and leather work. Not only this but Fred Aldous also offers a range of facilities from photography, printing and laser cutting. in addition to our project at university, we as a class were taken to the shop for a demonstration on how the laser cutter works.
As shown below is the laser cutter in action, we were asked to create a simple motif to take to the workshop in order for us to see more clearly how it works and the out come u get from it. the demonstration lasted about an hour and was given by a member of staff at Fred Aldous. i was impressed with the speed of the laser it cuts through materials within a matter of minutes. its cable of cutting through a range of materials and in the demonstration we were shown it cutting through: mirror, felt, wood, paper, acrylic and cardboard. The quality is of a very high standard. It smooth and flawless i was very impressed with the laser cutter and would seriously consider using it in my current and future project because of both the quality of the cut, the range of materials it can be used with and the time it takes to produce which could be extremely helpful with it being in such a close location to home. All the materials are available to by at the shop its self but you are welcome to bring any materials in of your own and they will run a trial sample 1st to see if it will work.

The Whitworth Art Galley
The University of Manchester
Oxford Road
Manchester M15 6ER UK
The Whitworth Art Gallery is a grand building surrounded by beautiful parkland. It was founded in 1889, as The Whitwroth institute and, park, during the heroic period of Victorian philanthropy, and was originally a voluntary cultural, educational and technical institute making the memory of one of the northwest's great industrials, Sir Joseph Whitworth. Its tall ceilings and grand décor of the entrance hall goes harmoniously with the historical exhibitions held within, providing the perfect setting for them. In addition to this, the gallery space upstairs has more spacious and modern elements. However each gallery flows seamlessly through to one another, creating a gentle feel. Along with the dimly lit rooms altogether it creates a calming era about the gallery. It is well situated close to the city centre and near to many good public transport links such as the metro link, buss services and the trains. All these making the gallery very easily accessible.Putting On The Gliz
This exhibition
This exhibition features luxurious 18th century decorated leather, 19th century Japanese and French imitations, foils and other metallic finishes from the 1960s/70s, along with contemporary jeweled patterns that our ancestors might have envied. the room was fairly small and i thought the lighting was poor. Because if the value if the pieces of wallpaper being exhibited there wasn't much room to view them. the quality of the work on display was of a vary high standard and they had a variety of both historical and contemporary images to look at. It clearly shows the use of the different metals and golds that were used in the 19th century by the wealthier members of society, yet also shows example of contemporary design very similar to those previously yet at a much more affordable price. what i liked about this exhibition was how it showed the use of different materials used in wallpaper.
Thomas Wardle and Indian Ink
This exhibition mark the century of Thomas Wardle Death. it Exhibits his work and his fascination with the Indian printing styles and designs. It also has work of his own that was inspired by his travels and then made at with is own company in leek where he was born. It is clear in Wardle work that he was influenced by the far east designs as they we all very detailed patterns. the exhibition was much more beneficial to me when i visited the art gallery in relation the the Putting On The Glitz Exhibiton as there was a greater evidence of historical context. I felt that how it showed where his designs were influence by was much more successful.

Hello and welcome to EasyChessTips!
My name is David Hurley and I have been playing chess on and off since I was at primary school, a few decades ago!
I am not an expert player, but have a grade on Gameknot.com that fluctuates between the dizzy heights of the lower 1700s when I am on a winning streak, and the less impressive lower 1500s when I soar too high and run into Grade A opposition.
No matter what my rating may be on any particular day, I have built up a lot of experience and have a lot of games and examples to draw from which offer useful tips on what to do – or what NOT to do in certain situations in the opening, middle and end game.
My focus is on offering some insights for casual players who would like to improve their ability to "read" the situation and also to develop psychological strength.
So, if you are just starting out on your chess adventures, or have played for a while but either do not have a chess ranking, or have a ranking somewhere below 1600, then EasyChessTips.com is for you!
I share my personal experiences – chess victories and disasters, brilliant moves, or moves that "did the job" by bluffing or browbeating a weaker-minded opponent into doing what I wanted. I also share my personal disasters, where I was carved up by a superior player, or made a facile blunder!
If something grabs your attention, feel free to post a comment or ask a question. I appreciate every comment and enjoy chatting about chess, so if you have anything to share or any insights to offer, please do post a comment. I love feedback in every form.

Audix D6 Dynamic Cardioid Instrument Microphone Downloads
What We Think
"The Audix D6, like the rest of the D series drum mics, is a 'pre-EQ'd' microphone that has a wide mid-scoop around 600Hz and peaks around 63Hz and 5kHz. So, the D6 is not a flat-response microphone in the least; it is a purpose-built microphone designed to be unique. However, it's purpose is to deliver a sound which requires little to no equalization in order to deliver a satisfying sound. It really brings out the slap of the beater of a kick drum while delivering a bottom end which is sufficient, but which won't dominate your mix. It really is perfect for the modern rock kick drum sound and excels when bringing out the 'click' on a bass track. In fact, the D6 has become one of our favorite ways to capture bass amps. It really evokes the clarity of each note while delivering the right amount of air on the track to naturally soften the transients. And for the more adventurous recordists, give it a try on a snare drum. It can be a 'splatty' sound, but we've found moments where this can be a useful artistic statement in the right track."

We sometimes get questions about what differentiates Batscan from other monitoring systems. The answer can be a long list of details and technical specifications, but the real answer is found in the philosophy behind Batscan that can be summarized in a few points:
- If it can't be done safely, it is better to refrain from monitoring your batteries.
- Data acquisition must be synchronous and high performance.
- Monitoring must be a independent from controlling.
- User interface must be simple to the novice, with extensive features for the expert.
Batscan Characteristics:
Other battery monitoring (management) systems:
|2MΩ protective resistor at all battery connections
Makes the installation safe for people and the batteries.
Measuring wires are safe to touch, and safe to short toghether or to ground without any risk for sparks or heat generation.
|No, or too small, resistor at the battery connections
Makes the monitoring system itself a high risk factor.
Measuring wires are hazardous to touch, and shorts can cause fire and explosions. Simple fuses and low value resistors (less than 50kΩ) only protects measuring wires from melting, it does prevent fatal chocks and sparks.
|Advanced signal processing
Simultaneous sampling of all channels - all cell voltage values are valid at the same current and are therefore comparable.
Fast measuring cycle loop - allows capture of vital battery data during UPS battery test, periodic generator test, and power outage.
|Simple data acquisition system
Sequential measuring though the channels one by one - cell voltage values may be measured at different current and can not be compared. Slow measuring cycle loop - important battery data is missed during short events.
|True Monitoring only
High performance synchronous data acquisition captures all variations in the battery parameters. Batscan always run in full speed sampling mode. All results from any Battery discharge or test are recorded, whether manually controlled or automatically initiated by other equipment. A fault in the BMS cannot affect the battery.
|Controlling & Measuring
Simple so called Battery Management Systems attempts to detect defective cells by controlling the current trough them between two measurements. This has several disadvantages; is not very sensitive, it requires direct connection to the battery, and a fault in the BMS can completely destroy the battery.
|User friendly PC based software
Powerful graphical user interface.
Virtually unlimited computation power, storage space, connectivity etc. Easily upgradeable.
|Specialized central unit
Unfamiliar and limited feature user interface. Limited computation power, storage space, connectivity etc. Difficult to upgrade.

Discover Decimals with Cuemath
Our education system tells children how to manipulate and calculate decimals but they are never taught what decimals really are. One day, we asked a group of grade 5 students whether 0.19 is greater than 0.2 or not. To our surprise, most of them said 0.19 is greater and the reason they gave was that 0.19 has 19 while 0.2 has 2.
When children learn decimals with Cuemath, they learn with the help of learning aids, children build a conceptual understanding to answer questions like these correctly.
Let's take a 10*10 grid and think of it as 1 unit. Let's call it 1 flat. Then let's take a 10*1 column of this grid and call it 1 rod. Note that 1 rod has a value of 1/10 which we can write as 0.1. Now, take a 1*1 grid such that 1 block equals 1/100. We can write it as 0.01.
With these modelling tools it becomes easier for children to visualise decimals. They can represent a collection of flats, rods and blocks using decimal numbers. For example, one flat plus two rods is equal to 1.2. Similarly, they can represent 0.43 as the sum of 4 rods and 3 blocks.
Now let's get back to our question of finding whether 0.19 is greater than 0.2 or not with the help these Base Ten Blocks. Now it is crystal clear that 0.2 is great than 0.19. Way simple than mugging formulae. Isn't it?
Isn't this a great way to learn decimals with Cuemath?
Your child will never forget a beautiful piece of mathematical reasoning like this. This academic session, let your child discover the new way of learning with Cuemath!
