Have potential indicators been identified for each management measure to determine success? In policy recommendations for Watershed Stewardship the LATT Report identifies qualitative benchmarks to note success or failure in improving watershed conditions, and the implementation timeline repeatedly underlines the need for water quality data to verify the restoration of supportive biological habitat conditions , pp. 27 – 32; 115 - 121 Has it been roughly quantified how much each management measure will reduce one or more parameters identified in Element 1? The project atlas features a STEPL report for each project that quantifies reductions in total nitrogen, total phosphorous, biological oxygen demands, and total suspended solids. Reductions in all of these pollutants will improve local and regional water quality conditions. What has not been measured are reductions in runoff volume, which is thought to be a primary stressor in Little Alamance Creek. It can be indirectly measured from these efforts, though. There is a summary of these benefits in Table 4 (pp. 39 – 44), and a profile on each project’s description , pp. 39 – 44 (table); 46 – 111 (profiles).

Very few live cattle have been imported in the last seven years and only from EU countries, all of which have negligible or controlled BSE risk status. Discussions with competent authority officers at the in-country inspection confirmed that most cattle are less than 30 months of age and are imported for immediate slaughter which represents a minimal BSE risk. Underpinning controls on imports is the European TRACES system which is the electronic system that enables government authorities and businesses to track and trace live animals and products of animal origin (food and feed ingredients sourced from animals) that are traded on the EU market (see Section 10). Exposure control Exposure of cattle to BSE contaminated material and amplification of the BSE agent within the feed system is controlled by preventing the feeding of ruminant-derived protein to ruminants. Depending on the BSE status of a country (such as whether a case of BSE has occurred and/or risk factors for BSE exist), prevention is achieved through regulations in three key areas across the beef production system: Pre-slaughter controls which prevent the feeding of ruminant protein to ruminants At slaughter controls which cover animal inspection procedures to ensure potentially affected animals are removed from the animal feed and food production systems Post-slaughter controls which ensure that potentially infected tissues are removed and do not enter the animal feed and food production systems. Reviews on the effect of BSE control measures on the epidemiology of the disease emphasize that feed ban regulations and procedures to prevent cross-contamination of ingredients used for cattle feed are critical control measures for preventing the recycling and amplification of BSE 8-11. Measures to prevent non-ambulatory (downer) cattle from entering the animal feed and human food chain should also be adopted. For countries where BSE has occurred or risk factors exist, controls should also extend to exclusion of potentially infectious tissue (SRM) from animal feed and food (including pet food and human food products). BSE control measures applied across the Latvian beef production chain to prevent exposure to BSE are summarised in Figure 1. This chapter describes the control measures that prevent the contamination and recycling of the BSE agent in cattle feed and contamination of food for human consumption.

dangerous hallucinations that presage freezing to death. At the end of the poem, though, “nothing happens” – the men are trapped permanently in a no man’s land between life and death, where the transition between those two states is indistinct. In “Strange Meeting,” Owen more clearly imagines himself as dead, escaping battle “down some profound dull tunnel” to a primordial realm “scooped” by ancient, “titanic” wars. There he meets someone who looks at him with “piteous recognition,” and suddenly the speaker “knew we stood in Hell.” This stranger mourns the lost years, the “pity of war” and the realization that “None will break ranks, though nations trek from progress.” The power of the poem’s imaginative vision comes at the end, as the stranger reveals he is “the enemy you killed, my friend.” Both the dead self and his doppelganger, the stranger, emerge from Owens’s vision of unity. He imbues the dead German with courage and humanity, showing a degree of empathy and brotherhood that transcends nationalities as well as life and death. In Owens’s empathetic imagining, the distinction between living and dead, friend and foe, English and German, is erased. Imagining Themselves in Hell Most poetic treatments of the dead, however, are neither as conciliatory nor as optimistic. Close physical association and philosophical identification with the dead made poets imagine the fallen soldiers to be in circumstances as remarkably depressing as their own; after all, the landscape of the front resembled descriptions of hell that educated soldiers had read from Dante and Milton. The landscape of the front was so unrelentingly bleak and the soldiers’ time there so apparently unending that their vision of the front and their idea of Hell became intertwined. If live soldiers and dead soldiers were trapped alike in a hell on earth, it seems reasonable that souls

It is different…not in terms of the making of the work, but you do feel a heightened awareness that ideas are not isolated. I have thought about how art of the past reflects the historical, political and social realities of its time and how art made now does the same thing. I think that exhibiting in the context of a historical collection highlights the fragmented shape of historical time. The experience of reacting to the work of artists who opted for a more theoretical approach, to the ways in which I have traversed and interwoven my work into their history. I believe my position is no different from what those artists of the past where doing. It highlights that history is a construct, and a way in which we process contemporary experiences of change. 5. Can you tell us a bit about the materials and processes behind the production of the work? The materials in the work are plaster, steel, inkjet prints on paper and fabric. I crafted all of these parts from the paintings, so the plaster piece is a slab relief work of the profile of the face in Warrener’s Mary Ann Carlton. The metal frame represents the reflection of the figure in The Kimono, the prints are details in Dunlop’s Portrait of a Woman zoomed by 1000%, and the fabric piece is from the ruff collar in Van Mierveldt’s Maria van Wassenaer Hanecopswith. These various details have been repeated and made into patterns. I hoped he individual elements would become unrecognisable from their original source. Also significant was the fact that my experience of looking at these paintings was on a computer screen. The digitisation of culture and subsequent drive of image circulation has shifted representation of the image into uncertainty. I have used figuration to produce colourful abstractions, a move that helped me to make sense of the indeterminacy of digital material (images that can be downloaded, zoomed, deleted etc) to a tactility that belies its digital source. I feel there is an ambiguity that can be created when showing something new within a historic collection. My work references many of the paintings and the women that they contain, but keeps them at arm’s length - detached and remote from the original.

As you’re going through pre-licensing, I encourage you to think about why you’re doing this. Maybe you’re here because you want some extra money each month to pay down debt or to boost your savings. Maybe you want to be able to give your kids the things you never had as a child. Maybe you want to make sure no family is left unprotected in the event of the death of a breadwinner. Whatever your reason for starting this journey, let that be your motivation for passing the exam. Remember, in this business YOU are in control of your future. I believe if you put your mind to it, put in the work and take advantage of the incredible support your upline, Licensing Specialist, and POL provide, you CAN pass your exam. Don’t worry if it’s been a while since you’ve been studying. We’re going to teach you exactly what you’ll need in order to get your license and to start making your dreams happen. The rest is up to you. I believe you’ve got this! Let’s get started!
