France allows British cargo, passengers in after virus scare
Posted: Dec 23, 2020 / 02:39 AM CST | Updated: Dec 23, 2020 / 04:43 AM CST
LONDON (NewsNation Now) — France reopened its borders to passengers from England on Wednesday, ending a blockade intended to stop the spread of a new coronavirus variant, but which has held up thousands of lorries before Christmas.
Much of the world shut its borders to Britain after a significantly more transmissible mutated coronavirus variant was discovered spreading swiftly across southern England.
Are the new coronavirus strains cause for concern?
With queues of trucks snaking to the horizon in England and some supermarket shelves stripped just days before Christmas, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson scrambled to get French President Emmanuel Macron to lift a ban on freight from Britain.
Late on Tuesday a deal was reached with Paris to allow French and other EU residents to return home, providing they have a negative COVID test that is less than 72 hours old.
Britain said it would begin handing out tests at multiple locations on Wednesday, but cautioned that the process would take time.
"We'll be making sure that tomorrow we're out there providing tests," Shapps said. "This will take two or three days for things to be cleared."
Truckers were told not to travel to the Kent region where the most heavily used rail and ferry links are.
Associated Press reporters witnessed a ferry pulling into the French port of Calais before dawn and trains carrying freight and car passengers were allowed to cross to the continent beneath the English Channel again.
A charity donated more than 800 meals to stranded truckers near Dover, England because of the border closure.
Earlier the European Commission advised that non-essential travel to and from Britain should be discouraged but said that people heading home should be allowed to do so, provided they undergo a COVID-19 test or quarantine for 10 days.
However, border controls are governed by national policy, so each EU country can have its own rules.
UK nixes Christmas gatherings, shuts London shops over virus
Shapps said France had agreed to accept the results of "lateral flow" COVID tests which have been used in other mass testing programs. They typically give results within an hour.
The discovery of the new variant, just months before vaccines are expected to be widely available, sowed a fresh wave of panic in a pandemic that has killed about 1.7 million people worldwide and more than 67,000 in Britain.
Scientists say there is no evidence that vaccines currently being deployed in Britain – made by Pfizer and BioNTech – or other COVID-19 shots in development will not protect against this variant, known as the B.1.1.7 lineage
The United Kingdom's effective COVID-19 quarantine came just nine days before it is due to part ways with the EU after a transition period – considered to be one of the biggest changes in post-World War Two British history.
Countries across Europe and beyond have suspended travel from Britain since the weekend. Germany imposed a ban on UK travellers from Tuesday that could remain in place until Jan. 6.
One exception was the United States, which does not intend to impose COVID-19 screenings for passengers from Britain.

Cases of the new strain have also been detected in some other countries, including Denmark and Italy. Experts said the prevalence in Britain might be down to better detection.
Britain's border crisis led to some panic-buying: shoppers stripped shelves in some supermarkets of turkey, toilet rolls, bread and vegetables.
While the government said there was enough food for Christmas, market leader Tesco and No. 2 player Sainsbury's both said food supplies would be affected if the disruption continued. Tesco said it had imposed temporary buying limits on some essential products.
Britain said 632 trucks were stacked up on the M20 motorway in Kent, southern England, and 2,188 at nearby Manston Airport, now being used as a giant lorry park. The government said additional toilets and food vendors were being arranged, after the Road Haulage Association raised concerns about drivers' welfare.
While trucks were still able to cross from France to Britain, they could not return so European truck drivers were extremely reluctant to travel.
The border closures were causing headaches across Europe, especially for those trying to transport perishable food. Milk suppliers were already trying to boost milk stocks in Britain ahead of Brexit.
"The plan was to stock up in the next 10 days so if there is a Brexit problem there are stocks for January," said Alexander Anton, the secretary general of the European Dairy Association. "Now you can't find a transport company to send a driver to the UK."
Lactalis, the world's biggest dairy company, has had to reschedule some lorry deliveries to Britain because of the border closure, a spokesman for the French group said.
Television footage showed a small group of people arguing with police at the entrance to the Dover port.
Elsewhere, drivers, some swearing about Johnson and Macron, said they just wanted to get back home in time for Christmas.

Chevron Car Seat Quilt 26" x 32"
Joannes Designs Week46 'Chevron Car Seat Quilt' a very small quilt designed for my new grand daughters arrival. Last week I came across a Moda Bakeshop pattern Sophie Car Seat Quilt for a very cute car seat quilt that I am in the throws of making. It is truly adorable and my daughter said she would love one for her wee arrival in a few months when I showed the picture to her.
I also have a niece expecting so decided to make another one but in a different design. I've always been drawn to the chevron quilt design so I have designed this wee quilt using a chevron design. I would have made this from half square triangles until yesterday, when I came across an alternative method with tutorial by AmandaJean of Crazy Mom Quilts.
Below are the two wee quilts I have made for my daughter and for my niece. As the baby's aren't born yet I used my grand daughter's doll. The car seat in the photo is one of the smaller sizes. I used flannel fabric on the back to make them a little more cozy!
Below I have shown the one block used to make this quilt. It's finished size is 4 1/2" square.
To the right of this block is another chevron quilt designed using only 2 fabrics. If this is your preferred choice then you will need to buy 5/8 yard of each fabric plus binding and ties.
To download the pattern, fabric yardage guide or block rotary cutting guide click on the images below.
1. Cut fabrics into 2 3/4" wide strips.
2. Sew two strips together - one grey and one yellow.
3. Cut each strip into 5" squares.
4. Lay cut squares out on a flat surface to form quilt top.
5. I designed this quilt having the squares set on point so you will need to sew the squares together in diagonal rows.
6. Sew rows together taking care to match your seams.
7. Trim edges of quilt top.
8. Cut two 1 1/2"wide x 28" long strips for ties. Fold in half right sides together and stitch along the long side. Turn out. Neaten ends.
9. Measure 10" down quilt side from the top and position tie - one on each side.
I hope you enjoyed Joannes Designs Week46. Just 6 patterns to go!

I looked up the gematria of "pentagram" Colin –
Pentagram in Jewish gematria = 324
New York in English gematria = 666
The Green witch dressed in black
"There were only four witches in all the Land of Oz, and two of them, those who live in the North and the South, are good witches. I know this is true, for I am one of them myself, and cannot be mistaken. Those who dwelt in the East and the West were, indeed, wicked witches; but now that you have killed one of them, there is but one Wicked Witch in all the Land of Oz–the one who lives in the West."

Baum's City of Oz inspiration: From White to Emerald…
Baum was inspired to make his city of Oz an alternative version of the "White City", "Dreamland Amusement park" and "Luna park" at Coney Island. White City was an elaborate recreational center and Dreamland Amusement park was an entertainment fair located in New York City. Both places were once considered as one of the most magnificent establishments built for the general public during the turn of the century.
On Baum's visit to White City he fell in love with it's glowing bright lights that lite all of the big buildings up very beautifully. It truly was something that had never been seen or done before. Baum wanted his "Emerald City" to be much like this when writing his Oz books. But instead of naming it White, he of course chose to call it Emerald.
White City World's Fair 1893.
When Baum went to Chicago for the World's Fair, many historians and Oz scholars who interpret The Wizard of Oz as a political allegory agree that the Emerald City was used as a metaphor for Washington, D.C. and unsecured "greenback" paper money.
Dreamlandnight-1
In this reading of the book, the city's illusory splendor and value is compared with the value of paper money, which also has value only because of a shared illusion or convention. It is highly likely that the "Hotel del Coronado" influenced its description in later books, as well as in the artwork by John R. Neill.http://oz.wikia.com/wiki/Emerald_City

Colin McKay says:
Thank you Kevin. It didn't even occur to me to look up specific words in gematria; I just googled 324, and the words gematria and numerology [edit: and 'green'].
I've never read the Wizard of Oz but will have to now you've pointed out about four witches. I'm only familiar with two, from the popular Judy Garland movie. There being four makes sense, four being a key number in occultic 'sciences'. In combination with the Emerald City and other cues (like the four cardinal points), I'm guessing it's probably full of alchemical symbolism.
This might mean something to you Colin
Glinda in Jewish gematria = 81 as does gold.

Three Super Important Things About Carpet Cleaning – From our Trusted Pros!
Very valuable information! I really forget how important it is to read those labels on the carpet cleaning solution. Toxic chemicals are no fun! I usually hire professionals so perhaps I will also be sure to ask what kind of solutions they are using. I would usually opt for eco or all natural products but only certain companies offer these options. This would be a good reason to thoroughly research any company you hire to clean your home. I would think this is even more true for moms like me with small children. Thanks for the article, I enjoyed the read!

Well this is quite the find on the web! I guess you could say that I've played a few Time Guitars. Seeing that Chris is keeping the name alive is quite something. They were and are great guitars they could always provide you with the tone that you were going after and then some! Time was so close to getting into the mainstream and the fire was a tragedy. Every guitar I pickup to play at some point I always compare them to a Time Guitar. I do have great memories of Darrells Music and The Barn.....dedicated craftsmen making great guitars. Hey Chris how about we break out the pressure cooker and the vacuum pump and whip up a batch of pickups and not try to kill ourselves in the process!!
Welcome aboard. I stumbled upon something about you last week and started wondering where you were! [it was Abair's myspace, then Dark River Productions Small world, or somethin'.
I put this site up almost 2 years ago as a weekend geek project.
People post, I remember the guitar, a person, or a situation; then together, we do a brain dump and post. I've really enjoyed this and remembered things long/better forgotten.
Special thanks to Alan & the boys.

Hanoi T&T secures U21 National Football Championships title
By Quang Huy, Thanh Nien News
HO CHI MINH CITY - Monday, November 02, 2015 08:23 Email Print
Van Thanh scored the second goal for Hanoi T&T with a header.
Thanh Nien U-21 Football Championships: An Giang advance to final
Hanoi T&T play fair at Under-21 National Football Championship
Van Thanh's double helped Hanoi T&T defeated An Giang 2-1 at the final of the Under-21 National Football Championship at Ho Chi Minh City's Thong Nhat Stadium on Sunday.
Hanoi, last year's runner-up of the annual tournament held by Thanh Nien Newspaper, took an early lead in the 3rd minute after Van Thanh got a pass from Van Hiep at a clear position and defeated An Giang's goalkeeper Ngoc Tuan.
An Giang, who came through to the final with all-win streak, rushed to attack but gradually focused on defending against Hanoi's fast strikers.
In the 35th minute, Van Thanh scored the second goal for Hanoi with a header, after moving to the right spot to get a corner kick. This was also Thanh's 7th goal at the championships.
An Giang faced more difficulties in the second half after Lam Quy got a yellow card for hitting Van Thanh and was sent off in the 52nd minute.
However, Thanh Thao had a good header to shorten the scores for An Giang in the 59th minute but it was also the match's final goal.
Hanoi T&T won the title that it missed last year when being defeated 0-1 by Song Lam Nghe An.
An Giang won the runner-up title while Ho Chi Minh City and Gia Lai shared third place.
Van Thanh was chosen as the best player at the championships.
Ho Chi Minh City won the fair play award.

My current goal is to grow the program nationwide and Ohio is one of the few states where a YHEC does not currently exist. During these times, programs like NRA's Youth Hunter Education Challenge are crucial to the survival of the hunting and shooting sports. For these reasons, I am looking for individuals or groups who are passionate about the hunting and shooting sports to take advantage of this great program. This family-friendly program not only teaches kids to be safer and more responsible hunters but it will keep them involved in outdoor activities year round. YHEC also allows kids that would never be exposed to hunting to be introduced to it in a fun and positive way.
Thank you for your time and please let me know if you have any questions or want to learn more.

Finding enterprise IPS nirvana: Granular data and simplicity
More granular data is needed from an enterprise IPS than ever before. Brad Casey explores why and reveals other ways to get the info sought.
Brad Casey
In the not-too-distant past, it became readily apparent that securing a network by simply installing endpoint security products on each node is less than ideal. While endpoint security products play an important role in an enterprise security strategy, over-reliance on these technologies -- the network's "last line of defense" -- is often ineffective. Organizations eventually came to the realization that leveraging the network as a source of security information provided much added value and insight that was unavailable at the endpoint.
What is expected of today's IPSes far exceeds what they can actually handle.
At first, organizations leveraged access control lists at the router level. While this method greatly simplified the process, enterprises soon found that routers only provided rudimentary security functionality and didn't offer the ability to apply granular security policies, hence the development of intrusion prevention systems (IPSes) and firewalls. Though these devices were initially configured to offer better insight of inbound and outbound traffic than a router, the IPS was expected to be as specific as the traditional endpoint device in terms of packet examination. Needless to say, times have drastically changed and what is expected of today's IPSes far exceeds what they can actually handle.
In an October 2013 article published by the SANS Institute, the majority of respondents to a recent survey seemed to be generally pleased with the performance of their enterprise IPS. However, a common complaint pertained to the lack of detailed inspection performed by their systems.
In this tip, we will explore why enterprises want higher levels of granular data from their IPS in four key categories: application awareness, context awareness, content awareness and full stack inspection, and how to strive for those objectives without losing the simplicity an IDS provides.
Application awareness
Application awareness pertains to a device's ability to identify the specific applications in use on a network and tailor its security analysis to those specific applications. This information can dramatically reduce the false positive rates of intrusion prevention systems and allow security staff to focus on the most relevant alerts.
For example, an IPS might be monitoring network traffic from a particular user browsing the Web and notice a potential attempt to remotely exploit a known vulnerability in Internet Explorer. If the IPS is application-aware, it will identify the specific browser the individual is using and assess the security risk in light of that information. A user making the request with a vulnerable version of IE might have his or her traffic immediately blocked, triggering an alert instructing information security staff to immediately investigate further. Alternately, a user making the same request on Google Chrome might trigger a less drastic response, as the exploit would not succeed in Chrome as it might in IE. In that case, the alert might still be recorded, just with less urgency. When possible, security staff would want to follow up and instruct the user on safe browsing habits.
Deploying IPS technology that incorporates application awareness allows the system to intelligently block only those threats that are likely to succeed. This greatly reduces the false positive rate, minimizes the impact on the business and increases user satisfaction.
Context awareness
Is VPN traffic allowed on a given network? What about on the weekends? Can VPN traffic come in from overseas?
While many enterprises may have legitimate reasons as to why the answers to these and other context-related questions would be yes, what is considered legitimate network behavior by one company may be considered extremely suspicious by another. For example, a certain protocol may be completely authorized by company policy, but the way in which the protocol is utilized may trigger suspicion.
Say a particular company's policy allows the use of Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP), but only within a certain geographical area. If security personnel examine the logs on Monday morning and find that RDP was indeed used but the connection was made from India, it would prompt further investigation, especially if the organization has no dealings or interests within India. In this case, the possibility that an unauthorized network intrusion occurred must be assumed until proven otherwise.
This type of context awareness capability has long been a component of many IPS technologies, and security professionals should take steps to leverage it as much as possible. IPS rules may be tweaked to not only incorporate geolocation context, as described above, but also include information on user identity, system/application patch status and other important sources. For example, the RDP scenario described above could be implemented in an IPS rule and automatically block login attempts from unusual locations. Going a step further, the organization's directory could be updated to indicate when users travel to India so they might be exempted from that rule, combining location and identity awareness in a single rule.
Content awareness
In its report, the SANS Institute demonstrated content awareness in regards to whether an IPS could distinguish between LinkedIn, Facebook and YouTube. This is a simple example, but in practice analyzing application or content traffic can become much more involved. For example, can an IPS determine when an inbound executable is traversing its network interface? Does it know when PDFs or Microsoft Office documents are attempting to enter the network? If so, can it conclude if these file types are carrying a malicious payload?
Modern IPSes are capable of answering all of these questions, and administrators may design security policies that trigger content-aware responses. For example, when the IPS identifies a user downloading a PDF email attachment, it can send the PDF off for an immediate malware scan to identify the potential presence of any known PDF exploits. If the attachment is suspect, it would be removed from the email and/or quarantined for further inspection by security professionals.
Full-stack inspection
Perhaps the most computationally expensive task performed by an IPS, full-stack inspection involves a detailed and therefore process-intensive examination of all inbound and outbound traffic.
Full-stack inspection involves the examination of the entire packet from IP headers, payload and all application data encapsulated by the IP header information -- hence the term full-stack inspection. So when a packet attempts to enter a network protected by an IPS, the system may be configured to:
Open each IP packet
Ensure that nothing untoward is happening at the IP layer
Delve into the TCP layer and ensure that the TCP packet is not in violation of any time-out rules
Examine the application layer, determine the type of application and check the content of it to ensure that it doesn't match any known malware signatures
Because the full-stack inspection process is so involved, it is vital that the IPS be capable of handling high throughput; otherwise, the risk of dropping legitimate packets becomes a real possibility. Generally speaking, enterprises should purchase an IPS capable of processing data at the maximum speed possible. If an organization has a 10 Gbps network and a 1 Gbps IPS, the IPS will quickly become a bottleneck and limit throughput on the network. Furthermore, it is likely because of this highly involved, computationally expensive process that people surveyed in the SANS report wished for one thing, but oftentimes received something less.
Full-stack inspection ties together the concepts of application- and context-awareness. This capability of modern IPS technology allows organizations to go beyond the "one packet at a time" approach used by early IPS systems and take advantage of the full range of information available. Security administrators should analyze their IPS rulebases to ensure they are using these capabilities and refine the rulebases wherever possible.
Modern intrusion prevention systems have improved network security by leaps and bounds. They have not only been able to offload much of the processing involved with securing the network boundary, but have also proven to drastically improve efficiency.
However, as technological improvements continue along an upward trajectory, the same can be said for end user expectations, which may never be fully met. Though organizations initially employed an IPS to offload some of the security burden, they have come to seek further granularity in data, which will often make the situation more complex. But the more information collected by an organization, the more likely they are to enhance their enterprise IPS, reduce the number of false positives, mitigate a greater number of threats, and boost the overall security posture of the organization.

How does one become the caretaker of an artist's entire body of work? For designer Linda Blackwell Bentley, it began with an out-of-the-blue phone call from her professor and mentor, Tadao Takano. Blackwell Bentley had been one of his students three decades ago at the University of Illinois at Chicago, where Takano had taught typography and design. But the two had lost touch over the years.
"I just thought, 'Wow, this must be karma,'" said Blackwell Bentley.
It turns out that a colleague had mentioned Blackwell Bentley to Takano, noting that she now had a successful career in graphic design. Takano called to congratulate her and reconnect, and found out they only lived fifteen minutes apart. When they met up, Takano asked to show her his art.
The images stunned Blackwell Bentley. Called cybergrams, they consisted of repeating figures, abstract shapes, and other organic forms. They were mysterious, elegant, and beautiful.
"Seeing Tad's collection for the first time, I was so moved by the beauty of his unique process, I suggested he allow me to sort through the stack of boxes in a corner of his apartment and assemble a portfolio," said Blackwell Bentley. "I felt the work was so important that he should be known in history."

Tadao Takano was born in 1926 in Washington. In 1942 he and his family were forced to live in an internment camp during World War II. He later joined the US Army, and was stationed in Italy. He returned to the US where he attended the Institute of Design in Chicago on the GI Bill and studied under artist Harry Callahan. In addition to his art practice, Takano taught at the University of Illinois at Chicago for over three decades. He died in 2010.
In the early 1980s, Takano set out to invent something new. He wanted to make abstract images without a camera that were different from a photogram, which is made by laying objects onto photographic paper and exposing it to light. He worked with engineer Jim Logan and filmmaker Wayne Boyer to build a robotic machine called BIGS that was controlled by an IBM 5160 computer.
In the darkroom, Takano controlled the computer and entered data, instructing BIGS to move on its X- and Y-axes. By entering a numerical algorithm, BIGS exposed gelatin silver paper to multiple versions of the same image. After exposure, Takano developed his prints in a traditional darkroom.
Takano called these resulting images "cybergrams," and described them as "intuitive as drawing with light." Many of the images look like they were made with ink and paint. Some are reminiscent of a stormy sky, live electrical wire, fine threads, or rippling fabric, while others feature the kind of geometric abstraction associated with the 1980s design aesthetic.

"Takano saw the potential for computer technology to disrupt and advance photography in very interesting ways," said Paul Martineau, associate curator of photographs at the Getty Museum. "His unique experimentations with design and light are bold and unlike anything I had seen before."
Following their reunion, Takano and Blackwell Bentley remained close friends, with Blackwell Bentley continuing to take an interest in Takano's art. She would often stop by his home before taking her kids to school to sift through his archive, and soon started reaching out to museums on his behalf.
When Takano died, he left his collection in Blackwell Bentley's care. She recently donated 25 of Takano's images to the Getty Museum's Department of Photographs.
"In terms of his artistic vision, well, he was prolific," said Blackwell Bentley. "To me, he is the epitome of an artist, and I want the public to know of his genius, his invention, and the beauty he has brought to our disparate world."

Takano's cybergrams complement works in the Getty's collection by other photographers who pushed the boundaries of technology, including Eadweard Muybridge's pioneering studies of motion, Nancy Burson's computer-generated composite portraits, as well as the recently acquired C-Project holograms by artists such as Louise Bourgeois, John Baldessari, and Ed Ruscha, among others.
Blackwell continues to be the committed steward of Takano's prints, and it is because of her generosity that visitors to the Getty Museum will be able to admire his groundbreaking work.

The BPCA Codes of Practice are designed to ensure that all professional pest control companies and trained individuals carry out potentially dangerous and / or sensitive activities with continued regard for safety and humaneness.
Pest Solutions and all of our service personnel are required to operate within the bounds of these BPCA Codes of Practice.
These BPCA Codes of Practice were produced by the British Pest Control Association.
In certain circumstances feral cats can pose a threat to public health. When all other options have been considered, pest control servicing companies may be requested to cage trap these animals, remove them from site and dispose of them.
BPCA Codes of Practice. In the past the accepted method for disposal of these animals was to introduce the cage trap into a lethal chamber containing a measured dose of chloroform. This method has been called into question both in terms of humaneness and operator safety.
The Association has therefore produced this guidance note to its members and recommends that they follow the BPCA Codes of Practice laid down below.
Domestic Animals – All cats cage trapped be examined for signs that they may be household pets (collars, tags etc.) and if so that they be released.
Rehabilitation – The servicing company should liaise with the Cats Protection League or other similar agencies with a view to rehabilitating some, or all, of the trapped animals. BPCA Codes of Practice.
Destruction – In the event that rehabilitation is not possible and there being no alternative to destruction, the procedure adopted should be that of a lethal injection administered by a veterinary surgeon.
These BPCA Codes of Practice were produced after consultation with Defra and Natural England.
In order to protect public health within high-risk environments, the use of rodent glue boards remains an important last option when all other control methods have been considered ineffective.
Although glue boards are not designed to physically harm rodents, their use raises valid concerns and they should only be sold to or used by technicians who have been given adequate training and are competent in the effective and humane use of this technique.
Option of Last Resort – All other options for rodent control must be considered before glue boards are used. Detailed records must show why other control methods are either considered inappropriate or have failed. Where there is a rodent in a high risk environment, it may be appropriate for glue boards to be placed strategically to ensure immediate control.
Check Boards Frequently – Where rodent boards are used these must be inspected at appropriate intervals. This should be within 12 hours of placing, or at least as soon as is reasonably practicable, including weekends and bank holidays. If unavoidable events cause slight extensions to inspection intervals then the reasons should be recorded. BPCA Codes of Practice. Longer delays must be avoided (see contingency plan below). Where possible and practical, inspection times must be organised to minimise the time rodents are likely to be on the board (e.g. if rodents are known to be active during certain periods, inspection times should be arranged with this in mind). If a caught animal displays signs of undue suffering or serious physical harm, the intervals between inspection times must be shortened. Records must be updated after all inspections. BPCA Codes of Practice.
Contingency Plan – A contingency plan must be in place so that in the event of an emergency a second competent person can be called upon to inspect the boards and deal with any captures or safely remove the boards as appropriate. BPCA Codes of Practice. Where it is known boards will not be inspected at appropriate intervals they must be taken up (even if only temporarily).
Protect Non Target Species – Boards must be placed in such a manner that they do not present a risk to non-target species.
Use the Correct Size Board for the Pest Species – The size of board must be appropriate for the target species.
Detailed Records – Detailed copies of records and location plans should be available on site at all times for all boards laid during any treatment and must be updated as necessary to ensure traceability. Copies ensure information is available should site records be lost or unavailable.
Dispatch of Trapped Rodents Humanely – Rodents trapped on rodent boards must be dispatched quickly and humanely by technicians with appropriate training. BPCA Codes of Practice. Placing the glue board in a clear plastic bag and dealing the rodent a sharp blow to the head with a blunt instrument would be an appropriate mode of dispatch. Drowning is not an acceptable method of dispatch.
Non Target Animals – In the event that a non-target animal is trapped, a suitable food grade oil or similar emollient should be applied to the animal for removal, or if not a protected species it may be killed humanely. Non-targets should only be released at their site of capture, not elsewhere, and only if they appear to be physically unharmed and their release is not prohibited by law.
Remove Boards at the End of Treatment – At the end of treatment all rodent boards must be accounted for, removed by the technician and the records endorsed accordingly.
Dispose of Boards Safely – Rodent boards should be disposed of with care. The sticky surface should be covered to avoid the accidental trapping of non-target species or subsequent misuse, and the board should be disposed of in accordance with local authority waste requirements. BPCA Codes of Practice.
Communication With the Customer – Code of Best Practice must be provided to the customer to make them aware of the standards that the operative is working to.
The humane use of glue boards is the legal responsibility of the pest controller, and cannot be delegated to untrained people.
All technicians must be suitably trained and competent in their application, maintenance and ultimate disposal including the dispatch of the target species and safe removal of non-target species.
Recognised Qualification – BPC/RSPH (Level 2) Certificate in Pest Control, BPC Diploma Part I, BPC Diploma Part II, RSH Certificate in Pest Control and NVQ II Pest Control.
Recognised Training Attendance- Confirmation of attendance at industry recognised training courses (e.g. BPCA, RSPH, Killgerm Chemicals, CSL, Acheta, ADAS).
In House Training – Full details of any in-house training schemes.
Product Specific Training – A recognised attendance certificate at courses for specialist products such as gas releasing compounds for vermin control.
Any BPCA member who may be requested to supply to a pesticide end user with which they are not already familiar should use their best endeavours to ensure that users of professional products can show evidence of one or more of the foregoing.
Fixed Stores – Fixed stores, including purpose-built stores, converted existing buildings or parts of existing buildings and small scale storage in cabinets, chests etc.
Mobile Stores – Mobile stores providing short-term storage away from the home base in vehicles. BPCA Codes of Practice.
Additional Precautions – Storing small amounts of particular pesticides whose hazardous chemical properties require additional precautions to be taken.

MacNeil supports Barra Youth Council's plea for Wi-Fi on CalMac ferries
Na h-Eileanan an Iar SNP MP, Angus Brendan MacNeil has today written to Martin Dorchester, Managing Director of CalMac supporting the Barra Youth Council who are calling for Wi-Fi to be available on CalMac ferries.
Mr MacNeil said:
"With the ever increasing use of devices such as laptop computers, smartphones etc, more and more people require and expect to be able to access the internet.
"In December 2011, members of the Barra Youth Council met with CalMac to discuss the possibility of providing Wi-Fi on the ferries. Following this meeting I understand that an agreement was reached that CalMac would install Wi-Fi on the Oban to Castlebay route as a pilot, however the Barra Youth Council tell me that no further developments have been made and that they have written to CalMac asking for an update. I have written to Mr Dorchester in support of the Barra Youth Council.
"I hope that progress can be made and that we are soon able to get on with work and business and surf the net while sailing.
"The Barra Youth Council is to be congratulated for their efforts and persistence if pursing this matter."
