The Birth of the Industrial Revolution in Britain 1707 to 1830 Course Description Introduction The Industrial Revolution started in Britain in the eighteenth century. A number of factors converged to create the conditions for developments in industry and science. Agricultural improvements created a cadre of wealthy landowners with money to invest. Improved educational opportunities, particularly in Scotland, created a broader set of young people with ideas and ambition. Greater religious freedom allowed individuals of talent to develop businesses. Interest in science and technology blossomed and the birth of the coffee house culture brought people with ideas into the orbit of those with money. But it was not all rosy. The new culture of ideas and experimentation was almost entirely limited to men. A woman’s place was seen to be in the home. At the same time the slave trade flourished providing much of the wealth for investment and, shamefully, Britain was a key facilitator in this odious business – and there were few voices of dissent at the time. And the poor lived short and brutish lives of hard physical work in grim conditions with an inadequate diet and very little healthcare. In this course I am going to take you through the key milestones of the early industrial revolution – in the textile industry, in coal mining and iron production, in civil engineering; in the development of steam power and the birth of the railways.

The use of biomarkers is increasingly important in detection of disease in a variety of species, but, to date, these biomarkers are protein-based disease indicators. To truly detect disease at the earliest stage, understanding DNA/RNA expressions, prior to onset of pathology, would be groundbreaking. In this CPD session, Dr Eve Hanks will explore the use of microRNAs for diagnostic purposes and explain how this pioneering new testing technology can benefit your practice with the recent launch of the NEMO Companion Animal Heart Disease test.

No one ever said that being a parent was easy, but when on earth did being a parent get so blooming hard? From conflicting work and school/nursery schedules to the multitude of clubs, activities and socialising opportunities filling up your calendar. It's a lot. And that's before we talk about the basic stuff needed to run a household and get everyone where they need to be AND all the 'quality time' and emotional stuff that all your social media guru's keep reminding you about. If you collapse into bed exhausted every night, no wonder! If your 'stuff' is constantly at the back of the line, well, that's just how it is. Right? And then there are the holidays. The annual headache that never seems to improve. The mental gymnastics and juggling involved should surely be an Olympic sport. But, here we are, and yet again, you've got too many weeks to cover and not enough annual leave to make it work. Simply making it through will be a triumph. When you do eventually get your time 'away' you'll be too drained to really enjoy it before it's back to the merry-go-round to start it all again. But stop. What if there was a way to create space in the chaos? To breathe through the strain and find ease? To change very little but get a HUGE return? If you are thinking 'yes' then this little workshop might be just what you need! We won't be telling you anything you don't already know, we won't be sharing schmaltzy fluff that sounds great but means nothing either. We'll be talking about practical down to earth stuff, in a down to earth and compassionate way. Even better? Our workshop is FREE at the moment so that we can make sure it's useful by getting your help AND we've included a pick and mix assortment of thought provoking exercises to help get you thinking. We hope that you find it all helpful
