Charleston, S.C.Aug. 15. 2017Sharkbanz, the affordable, wearable shark deterrent, is now available to consumers in the European Union (EU). Sharkbanz, which makes the Sharkbanz 2 and the Shark Leash, is now shipped and sold via Amazon to all 26 countries that are part of the EU. Out of those countries, 23 have 41-thousand miles of coastline frequented by beachgoers who can now rest assured, through Sharkbanz, that their risk of a negative encounter with a shark is greatly reduced.

"We are thrilled to make protection from sharks affordable and accessible to ocean lovers located overseas" says Nathan Garrison, Co-Founder of Sharkbanz. "Since shipping our first Sharkbanz in January 2015 we've been focusing on what's next, and this expansion falls directly in line with our goal of keeping people safe from sharks worldwide"

Groundbreaking Magnetic Shark Repellent Technology Sharkbanz has enlisted the services of renowned shark experts, chemist Dr. Eric Stroud and marine biologist Dr. Patrick Rice. The two scientists founded Shark Defense almost 15 years ago and made some of the most revolutionary discoveries in shark repellent technology. Most shark attacks occur in murky, shallow waters off the coast where there are a high number of swimmers and sharks sharing the same space. In this environment, sharks rely heavily on their electro-receptors instead of their eyes to "see" what's around them. They possess the most powerful electroreception of all known animals and use it to judge distance, shape, and even the heart rate of other animals near them.

Sharkbanz's patented magnetic technology creates an electromagnetic field that interferes with a shark's electrical sensors. This interference reduces the risk of attack by causing inquisitive sharks to flee. This unpleasant experience for the shark is similar to that of a person having a bright light flashed in his or her eyes in a very dark room. It's important to note that Sharkbanz technology does not harm the shark or other nearby marine life. Sharkbanz magnetic technology will reduce risk of shark interactions, but there is no 100% guarantee that interactions will not take place.

Sharkbanz technology is aimed at repelling hit-and-run shark attacks, the most common type of incident occurring when a curious shark strikes at a human in order to determine if they are prey. This technology has been tested extensively on more than ten of the most common predatory shark species, such as Bull and Blacktip, responsible for the majority of hit-and-run attacks. Sharkbanz is the first wearable deterrent captured on video successfully preventing a Bull Shark encounter.

UK Government Open to Temporary Customs Union With EU After Brexit Wall Street Journal (subscription) LONDONThe U.K. government on Tuesday will formally signal it is open to creating a temporary customs union with the European Union after Brexit as it prepares for fresh talks on its separation from the bloc later this month.

UK Government Open to Temporary Customs Union With EU After Brexit - Wall Street Journal (subscription)

Patience is a virtue, and one that will stand us in good stead as we disentangle ourselves from our complex and multi-layered ties to the European Union.

The separation cannot and should not be achieved at a click of the fingers. In order to complete a deal that is effective and mutually beneficial, it may take years rather than months to tie up the lose ends in a satisfactory way.

To put our own administrations and organisations in place to handle the new arrangements could take even longer.

That is why I welcome Government proposals for a future customs relationship. They are achievable as well as practical and they are an excellent point from which both sides can negotiate.

So I am encouraging fellow Eurosceptics who campaigned so hard for a Leave vote last year to remain patient now and not make life more difficult still for our negotiators.

Polands European Union future is looking increasingly uncertain as the conflict between Warsaw and Brussels continues to escalate with Witold Waszczykoskis latest attack on the bloc.

This is only a substitute to deprive Poland of our position and to weaken our negotiating position

Witold Waszczykoski

The tussle is just one example of the EU attempting to stifle growingeuroscepticismby any means necessary.

The latest attack from Brussels came as the blocs leaders said Polands proposed new retirement law which from October 1 will allow women to retire and 60 and men at 65.

The EU said statutory retirement ages for men and women is gender discrimination.

Mr Waszczykoski said the harassment was financially motivated because of the large economy enjoyed by Poland, insisting some European Union countries cannot deal with Warsaws strong position.

He claimed france wants to limit access to its markets because Paris feels threatened by Polish builders, transport companies and tradespeople, which have been accused of undercutting local workers.

The EU had threatened to impose financial sanctions and suspend the Polands voting rights as it seeks to punish Warsaw.

But Mr Waszczykowski laughed off the suggests about the countrys share of the budget being frozen, declaring they could not remove them because they are a right.

Speaking earlier to the BBC, the foreign minister said the EUs action were a smokescreen to cover up their own failures as a political project.

This is an excuse, he said. This is only a substitute to deprive Poland of our position and to weaken our negotiating position maybe in the future budget.

Mr Waszczykowski attributed the blocs action as a cover up for the uncertainty Brussels currently faces.

He claimed the EU had turned on Poland to avoid criticism for the questions they face on security and the common market after Brexit.
