As a cat lover, you know the feeling of having your furry companion curiously watching over you as you prepare your meal. But what happens when they take a few licks of your food? Can you still cook and eat it?
The answer is not as simple as a yes or no. There are several factors to consider, including the type of food, the health of your cat, and your own personal comfort levels.
In this blog post, we’ll delve into the science behind whether it’s safe to eat food that your cat has licked. We’ll explore the risks and benefits, and provide some best practices to ensure both you and your feline friend stay healthy and happy. Whether you’re an experienced cat owner or new to the game, this information is essential.
So if you’ve ever wondered about the safety of eating food after your cat has had a taste, keep reading. Together we’ll uncover everything you need to know about this age-old question and give some clarity for cat owners everywhere.
Why you want to cook the food your cat licked
However, when it comes to cooking food that your cat has already licked, there are several potential risks that need to be considered.
One reason why someone may consider cooking the food their cat has licked is to avoid wasting it. But as a responsible pet owner, it is important to understand that your cat’s saliva can transfer harmful bacteria and germs onto the food they lick. These bacteria can include dangerous strains like salmonella and E. coli which can cause serious health issues in both cats and humans. While cooking the food may kill some of these bacteria, it may not eliminate them all.
Moreover, some toxins produced by bacteria are heat-stable and cannot be destroyed by cooking. This means that even if you cook the food, it may still contain harmful bacteria or toxins that can make your cat sick. Also, cats have different dietary needs than humans. Their digestive systems are designed for a diet rich in protein and fat. Human food, especially processed or high-fat foods can cause serious gastrointestinal problems in cats leading to vomiting and diarrhea.
Therefore, it is always best to dispose of any food that has come into contact with your cat’s saliva. While it may seem like a waste, prioritizing your cat’s health is paramount. If you want to share your meal with your furry friend, choose safe foods that are suitable for their dietary needs and provide them with a balanced and nutritious diet specifically formulated for cats.
Cats’ digestive system vs. humans’
It turns out that cats are obligate carnivores, meaning they require meat in their diet to survive, while humans are omnivores and can eat both plants and animals. These differences can have a huge impact on food safety, particularly when it comes to sharing food with your feline friend.
One of the most significant differences between cats and humans is the length of their digestive tracts. Cats have much shorter digestive tracts than humans, which means food passes through their system much more quickly. Additionally, cats have stomachs that produce much more acid to break down the raw meat they consume. This acid can kill many types of bacteria that would make a human sick but may not affect a cat at all. As a result, cats have a higher tolerance for bacteria in their food than humans do since their immune systems have evolved to handle the pathogens commonly found in raw meat.
However, just because a cat’s digestive system can handle certain bacteria doesn’t mean that it is safe for humans to consume. Some bacteria that are harmless to cats can cause serious illness in humans, such as Salmonella and E. coli. These bacteria can be present on a cat’s tongue or in their saliva, which means that if your cat licks your food, there is a risk of contamination.
As a responsible pet owner, it’s important to prioritize your cat’s health by choosing safe foods suitable for their dietary needs and providing them with a balanced and nutritious diet specifically formulated for cats. Although cooking the food your cat has licked may seem like a clever way to avoid waste, it can transfer harmful bacteria and toxins onto the food that even cooking may not eliminate, making it potentially dangerous for both you and your feline friend.
In general, it’s not recommended to eat food that has been licked by a cat. While it may not always make you sick, there is a risk of contracting harmful bacteria that could cause serious illness. If you want to share food with your cat, it’s better to prepare separate portions for each of you and avoid any potential risks.
Bacteria and germs cats transfer onto food
While cats may have a higher tolerance for bacteria in raw meat due to their stomach acid, it’s crucial to understand that it’s not safe for humans to consume food that has been licked by their feline friends.
Cats carry various bacteria in their mouths, including Pasteurella, which can cause infections in humans if it enters an open wound or through ingestion. Furthermore, cats can also carry harmful germs such as Salmonella and Campylobacter, which can cause food poisoning in humans. Despite these bacteria and germs being harmless to cats, they are a significant risk to humans.
It’s essential to note that the risk of bacterial transfer from your cat’s mouth is higher if your cat has any oral health issues, such as gum disease or tooth decay. In these cases, there may be more bacteria present in your cat’s mouth, increasing the likelihood of transfer.
To reduce the risk of bacterial transfer from your cat’s mouth to your food, it’s essential to practice good hygiene habits. This includes washing your hands thoroughly before and after handling your cat’s food or dishes and washing any surfaces or utensils that come into contact with your cat’s food.
Cooking the food may not be safe for cats
However, when it comes to feeding your cat, you may not be aware that some of the food you cook for yourself may not be safe for them, even if they’ve given it a lick. Here’s why:
Cats have bacteria in their mouths that can be harmful to humans. When they lick food, they transfer this bacteria onto the food. Cooking the food may kill some of the bacteria, but toxins produced by the bacteria may still remain in the food, making it unsafe for consumption. Additionally, cats may have ingested foreign objects or substances while licking the food, which could also make it dangerous for them to eat.
Cooking the food after your cat has licked it can also alter its nutritional content. Cats have specific dietary needs that require a balance of protein, fat, and carbohydrates. Cooking the food may change this balance and make it less beneficial for your cat’s health.
So what should you do? It’s best to provide your cat with fresh and safe food that hasn’t been contaminated in any way. If you’re unsure about what to feed your cat, consult with your veterinarian for personalized advice and recommendations.
In addition to feeding your cat safe and nutritious food, it’s essential to practice good hygiene habits like washing your hands thoroughly before and after handling your cat’s food or dishes and washing any surfaces or utensils that come into contact with your cat’s food.
Human foods that can be toxic to cats
However, not all human foods are safe for cats and some can even be toxic to their health. As such, it is important to educate ourselves on the potential dangers of certain foods to keep our feline friends safe.
One of the most dangerous human foods for cats is chocolate. That’s right – that sweet treat we love so much can be deadly for cats. Chocolate contains theobromine, which is toxic to our furry friends and can lead to vomiting, diarrhea, tremors, seizures, and in severe cases, even death. Dark chocolate contains more theobromine than milk chocolate, making it even more dangerous for cats. So, it’s best to keep all types of chocolate out of your feline friend’s reach.
Onions and garlic are also common ingredients found in many human dishes, but they are toxic to cats. These foods contain compounds that can damage a cat’s red blood cells, leading to anemia. Symptoms of onion and garlic toxicity include weakness, lethargy, and pale gums. So, it’s best to avoid feeding your cat any foods that contain these ingredients.
Grapes and raisins may be a healthy snack for us humans, but they are another food that can be toxic to cats. They contain a toxin that can cause kidney failure in cats, resulting in vomiting, diarrhea, and dehydration. If you want to give your cat a fruity treat, stick to safe fruits like bananas or blueberries.
Lastly, let’s talk about avocado – the trendy superfood that has taken the world by storm. While it might be delicious for us humans, it can be toxic to cats due to the presence of persin. This toxin can cause vomiting and diarrhea in cats and the pit of an avocado can cause intestinal blockages if ingested.
Nutritional requirements of cats
One of the most crucial aspects of this care is meeting their specific nutritional requirements. Cats are obligate carnivores, meaning they require a diet that consists mainly of animal-based proteins. This is because cats have a limited ability to digest and utilize plant-based proteins and nutrients.
In addition to protein, cats also require essential amino acids, vitamins, minerals, and fatty acids in their diet. These nutrients are vital for maintaining healthy fur, skin, teeth, and muscles. They also support immune function and help prevent common health issues such as obesity, urinary tract infections, and dental problems.
However, it’s important to bear in mind that not all human foods are safe or suitable for cats. Some foods, like chocolate and onions, can actually be toxic and even deadly for your feline companion. It’s always best to consult with a veterinarian before introducing any new foods into your cat’s diet.
Moreover, it’s also important to consider the potential risks of feeding your cat cooked food that they’ve already licked. If the food has been sitting out for an extended period of time or has come into contact with harmful substances or bacteria, cooking it may not necessarily make it safe for consumption.
To sum up, cooking and eating food that your cat has licked is not entirely safe. Although cats have a stronger immunity to certain bacteria in their food, they can still transfer harmful germs onto the food they lick, which can be harmful to humans. Cooking the food may kill some of the bacteria, but toxins produced by the bacteria may still remain in the food, making it unsafe for consumption.
It’s important to note that cats have specific dietary needs that require a balance of protein, fat, and carbohydrates. Human food may not always meet these nutritional requirements and could cause serious gastrointestinal problems in cats leading to vomiting and diarrhea.
As responsible pet owners, we must prioritize our cat’s health by selecting safe foods suitable for their dietary needs and providing them with a balanced and nutritious diet specifically formulated for cats. Practicing good hygiene habits like washing hands thoroughly before and after handling your cat’s food or dishes is also essential.
Additionally, certain human foods like chocolate, onions, grapes/raisins, and avocado can be toxic to cats. It’s best to avoid feeding them these foods altogether.

The Life and Work of Clark Little
by Meagan Keane
posted on 11-06-2017
Anyone who’s a fan of the amazing waves on Hawaii’s North Shore has likely heard of Clark Little. A lifelong surfing enthusiast, at the age of 37 Little left his steady job, bought a camera, and started exposing the inside of the North Shore’s massive waves. His unique images struck a nerve, and 10 years later he’s widely acclaimed for his remarkable wave photography, as well as his work shooting surfing and sea life.
For years, Little’s good friend and action sports filmmaker Peter King traveled to Hawaii in the winter to capture video of the Triple Crown of Surfing. He also shot small segments of Little photographing the shorebreak and eventually proposed that they work together on a documentary focusing on Little’s action wave photography. The two teamed up and King later brought Editor Darren Doane on board to help finish the film SHOREBREAK: The Clark Little Story. The team is now working on a television series of the same name.
Adobe: Tell us about how the film was made.
Little: Peter came out to Hawaii often and followed me around the island as I worked to capture the perfect arc in wave or an under over picture of sharks and turtles. It was very natural, focusing on what I do and how I trigger my passion. I trust Peter and he’s very talented when it comes to film. Nothing was staged, which made it a lot more fun.
**Doane: **I joined the project after Peter had shot everything. He called me and asked if I could jump on board to help finish it. He had some sequences already cut, so I was able to take those and continue cutting, editing, and shaping the story. Over the course of three weeks we were able to put a narrative together. Because I knew the story and structure based on cutting down and aligning sequences I knew what I needed from the interviews. I flew to Hawaii, interviewed Clark, and then threaded the interview through the film.
Adobe: Darren, what was your experience with Adobe Premiere Pro CC going into this project?
Doane: I began working in filmmaking in 1990 and transitioned to non-linear editing in 2002. I was already using Adobe Premiere Pro CC before this film, but this was the first project where it hit me that I didn’t have to leave Premiere Pro to do all of the things I love to do. Every time I sit down at my computer and open Premiere Pro I still get a thrill that I can do anything, it’s all right there. The online/offline world doesn’t exist anymore. You basically live in post, which is this constantly evolving process.
Peter worked for a year creating sequences and laying in temp music. I took it all in and there was one sequence that I knew would be the beginning of the film. Once I know the opening sequence, I work on building the credit sequence that leads into it. I learned how to use titles in Premiere Pro and it was really fun.
I also like to do color correction and sound mixing on the fly as I go. It’s all part of the process, which makes finishing that much easier. When I turned in an edit for Peter and Clark, I didn’t have to ask them to imagine the sound and color, it was pretty complete.
Adobe: Clark, do you also work Adobe Creative Cloud apps?
**Little: **Someone taught me Adobe Photoshop when I first started out in 2007. I have a very simple process. I open raw files, adjust shadows, highlights, and exposure, add a little saturation, and reduce some of the noise. I like to keep things as natural as possible. Shooting in Hawaii, I already have vibrant beautiful sunsets, white sandy beaches, palm trees, abundant sea life and water clarity so there’s not much that needs to be pushed.
Adobe: How has the film been received?
Doane: Peter and Clark wanted to make the film and thought they would just finish it and put it on iTunes. I was able to take it to my distribution company, which helped get the film into some festivals where it won some awards. We also did a small theatrical tour and sold out events across the country. SHOREBREAK debuted on STARZ and was also number one in its category on iTunes.
Little: Peter is very good at putting together projects and I’m very stoked with how it came out. We didn’t have much of a plan, but we do have a great fan base on social media and through our newsletters. I didn’t know how it would go, but I’m happy with its success and how people were inspired.
Adobe: Tell us about the television series.
Little: I was a late bloomer when it came to finding out I would be a wave photographer. If you find your passion you forget what day it is. The television series let us take that idea further. We filmed some really cool segments that reinforce the message that it’s never too late to find your calling.
Doane: We created 10 20-minute episodes that we’re hoping to launch in the fall. The episodes are smaller stories of Clark’s day-to-day life highlighting his artistic process and lifestyle. They are also a celebration of Hawaii, which is a really unique place.
What was great about the television episodes is that we kept everything in Premiere Pro the entire time, right down to the final mix. Once we had the first 10 minutes done, that served as a template for the rest of the episodes in terms of look, audio level, color, and more. Every time I looked something up to see if Premiere Pro could do it, sure enough, it was there. Both the film and the television series prove that you can do everything in Premiere Pro.
_SHOREBREAK: The Clark Little Story _is available in the US to download and stream on iTunes, Amazon, Vudu, Google Play, Hoopla, Flux Fling, Comcast, Time Warner, Cox Cable, Brighthouse, and Charter. The television series will premiere on Charter Cable OC16 on October 2, 2017. In fall 2017, the show will also be released on Outside TV.

COVINGTON -- The Georgia Department of Labor is closing seven career centers, including one in Monroe. Citizens seeking services at the Monroe center beginning July 1 are being referred to the Covington or Athens centers.
That will mean the potential for more foot traffic at both centers, but Georgia Department of Labor Press Secretary Tom Krause said that should be easily absorbed, especially since the 11 employees at the Monroe office will be transferred to the Covington and Athens centers. Presently, the Covington center is operating with 14 employees, though a full staff would be 25, he said. The additional employees will bring the center closer to full staff, he said.
From January 2011 through December 2011, the Monroe center had 7,178 citizens registering for employment services, Krause said. During that same time period, the Covington office had 13,519 customers register for services, and Athens had 16,773.
The impact of the change will also be lessened by the GDOL's increased online presence, according to a press release issued by the department. Services such as unemployment insurance claims and employer payments are available electronically. In the coming weeks, full registration for employment services will be available online at www.dol.state.ga.us.
The decision to close the seven offices -- the others are in Blairsville, Camilla, Eastman, Elberton, Kings Bay and Northwest Georgia -- came down to cost savings, according to a press release issued by the Department of Labor.
Criteria considered when deciding which offices to close included the proximity of the offices to other career centers, the number of customers and staff affected, and the length of terms of the lease agreements for each office. None of the 61 employees at the affected centers will lose their jobs, but will be transferred to other centers, according to the press release.
The Department of Labor will continue to operate 46 career centers statewide. Career centers offer services to job seekers and employers, providing individuals seeking employment with the tools to find and keep jobs, and helping employers find assistance in recruiting employees, including access to a national job listing network, applicant screening, and space in centers to conduct interviews and testing.

All week long, we’ve talked about the devastating California drought – both how it was caused and how the real estate market can not only survive, but also thrive. Despite the not-so-terrible economic news, there is no question that the status quo can’t last. The state has spent years with its proverbial hands over its eyes about the coming danger, but we can no longer afford denial. The real estate industry, and particularly those investors who are rehabbing houses to fix and flip, can lead the way in personal responsibility.
The Need for Personal Water Responsibility in Housing
The drought is a combination of a changing climate, growing populations, and historic water mismanagement. The goal now is to recognize what went wrong and what we can do to make things better moving forward. There’s no other way, as we certainly aren’t going to pack everyone up to move out of California. We also know that there are no easy solutions. There’s no way to snap our fingers and get it done.
A huge part is going to be the creation of policy on the municipal, state, and federal levels. But just because you can’t make it go away personally doesn’t mean there’s nothing the real estate industry can do. As rehabbers and fix-and-flippers, you can create homes that emphasize sustainable renovations and water conversation. You can do some good for the state – and for yourself. Homeowners will want to buy houses that meet future regulations and satisfy their desire to live a more sustainable life. Here are a couple of tips for easy renovations that conserve water and provide a good return on investment.
Tips for Water Conservation Rehabs
Low-flow is the way to go
A lot of people might be surprised to hear this, but Las Vegas has recently led the way in water conservation. One way it has done this is by incentivizing hotels to install low-flow showers, toilets, and faucets. The enormous demand generated by Las Vegas has also led companies to solve the biggest complaints about low-flow products: that showers are unsatisfying and toilets don’t work.
This is great news for fix-and-flippers. Low-flow showers can save hundreds of gallons of water a day, and the reduction in hot water use leads to energy savings, as well. These functions, especially given that engineers have figured out ways to make them more comfortable, will make your house far more valuable on the market. It stands to reason that all houses will need to have these installed at some point, so getting ahead of the game makes your project much more desirable.
Tearing up the lawn
People love lawns, even though they are difficult to maintain, especially in climates that don’t have them naturally. However, attitudes about them are changing. People see them as the water pits they often are and are finding beauty in other elements of landscape design, such as gravel or stone, with drought-resistant plants in small areas surrounded by walkways. Native plants that require less maintenance lend a beauty, grace, and variety that water-intensive grass lawns don’t possess and the financial incentives provided by cities like Los Angeles don’t hurt, either. Native landscaping that can resist drought and survive with less maintenance will increase curb value and save potential buyers the trouble of having to put in their own landscaping.
Downspout extensions and underground cisterns
Here’s a subtle but important thing you can do, whether you still have a full lawn or just some flowers that require occasional watering. Depending on where in California you are, your amount of rain varies, but no matter how much you get, there is no need to waste it. Changing gutters on the house and installing downspout extensions that lead to areas in need of water are a great way to take advantage of nature. Rainwater can be funneled from the roof to areas that need watering.
Some people find that unsightly, of course, or they may find that rainy days don’t closely align with their watering schedule. For those people, funneling the water into an underground cistern or rain vat where you can save it for later is a smart move. When fixing up a home, both of these options show prospective buyers that they can have a beautiful yard while still conserving water.
Getting a house back on the market is a big deal and getting a hard money loan to fix and flip it entails important choices. We know that our state is entering a prolonged drought that can change nearly everything. It also provides a huge opportunity for real estate investors and rehabbers to lead the way. They can promote water conservation and sustainability while making their homes more attractive to responsible, forward-thinking buyers. The drought has no easy answers, but we know everything we can do can help.
Your real estate assets are your best investments for the future. At Socotra Capital, we’re proud to be the premier direct hard money lender for California real estate. Contact us today to learn more about how we can help.

Residents of ancient houses known as Nha Ruong are refusing government funding for refurbishment because of the long-term costs of upkeeping such houses and the strict restrictions that are placed on future refurbishment works.
Residents decline funding to save ancient homes
Saigon Giai Phong, 05 Jan 2010
Despite an offer by the Peopleâ€™s Committee of Thua Thien-Hue Province to provide financial assistance to owners of ancient homes for refurbishment efforts, most have declined the help.
The houses, known as nha ruong, are built with artfully carved wooden pillars and bars in the former feudal capital of Hue in the central region. The residences have great cultural significance but are in danger of falling into disrepair and decay if renovations are not carried out.
The local government has offered funding for the upkeep of the ancient homes totaling VND100 million(US$5,400) each to homeowners for renovations and five-year loans of up to VND30 million to plant trees outside the houses.
Residents complain, however, that the actual cost of restoring the houses is much higher than the government subsidies. Due to strict regulations regarding the manner in which renovations are to be carried out on ancient homes, the owners say they would have to pay large sums out of their own pockets.

Gardening is magical to me. Planting, waiting, and harvesting is almost like waking up as a child on Christmas morning. It gets me excited and the mystery never gets old. I’m not sure why i’m filled with such suspense and anticipation. I think some of it has to do with the fact that my gardening faith is very small. I doubt that there will be a product to my love and labor. But more than that, I think that it is all just a small, quiet miracle of God that i get to be a part of.
Last year, my husband made me an organic garden. He brought in a truck full of beautiful, fresh compost, and we all went to work on a 90* summer day in june.
here’s my youngest, who was more interested in the compost pile, as most ‘youngest’s’ are…and here’s my oldest carefully calculating the exact placement of each plant, as most oldest’s are prone to do…..
oh, and here is the baby bird that squawked at us during the entire process….he was not happy that we were putting a garden in ‘his’ front yard. ‘Gramps’ was his name, cause he looked like a grumpy, ill-humored, elderly man.
see, i told you. look at those beady, accusing eyes. “What are you wipper snappers doin’ in my yard? Get on outta there for petessakes!” Can’t you just see him waving his cane in the air or a shot gun?
when i speak of being astounded by gardening, i think what really amazes me is the growing process. I’m a city girl who grew up thinking food came from a store, but more specifically, that it came out of the fridge. I guess the thing that baffles me is that this…can turn into this…which then sprouts these…That’s SQUASH, people!!!!
or this….can turn into a zillion tomatoes.
and from a tiny plant, you can harvest this…..
First of all, I’m so glad to know you have a blog. This is the first year I’ve had a garden that produced. I’m so addicted. Yesterday morning I picked 14 squash and was so excited I went back to look for more in the afternoon. (There weren’t any.) But I still went back this morning:)
This is all just beautiful. What a difference good compost makes, too.

This is a really important point. As the Minister knows, he has had a letter about it from a leading pubs planning consultant. It is about article 4 directions. The concern is that the only way that article 4 will be anything but worthless for the new mixed use category is for the council to come up with an entire new article 4. The Minister says that local planning policies can be updated, but article 4 directions have to go through a certain process, so he will have to take responsibility for drawing up a statutory instrument in which, clearly, the intention is to protect all developments within the category which is now A4 and some A4/A3. They all need to be covered. He will need to look at that.

Is owning a gun shop profitable?
Gun accessories and ammunition are a great way to make a profit. Gunsmithing is another option if the shop is busy enough. Firearm and firearm safety classes can potentially generate a bit of money as well. There’s not much markup on selling new firearms, but there’s a substantial markup on selling used firearms.
Can I buy a gun straight from the manufacturer?
No. Firearms are legally purchased from Federal Firearms License holder- who are “dealers”. To buy a gun directly from a manufacturer-such as a special custom built arm – the manufacturer would deliver to a dealer. The purchaser would then pick up the firearm from the dealer after the normal retail purchase activity.
What should you not do at a gun store?
Don’t Flag Me Bro! The rules of gun safety are to assume the gun is always loaded, and to never point the gun at something you don’t intend to shoot. When handling a firearm in a gun store (or anywhere for that matter) don’t cover (also called flagging) other patrons or employees with the muzzle of a firearm.
What is the markup on ammo?
Ammo sales bring customers into the store where they might buy something else at the same time. For most stores the margin is probably about 25% of selling price. Wal-Mart might be about 50% even though they sell for less.
Will ammo prices go back down?
When will ammo prices drop? Ammo prices may come down at some point, but they won’t be down to 2019 prices. And in fact some of my sources inside the bigger ammo makers said we can expect to pay at least 20% more per box of ammo than you would have in 2019 until at least 2022, if not 2023.
Why is there a shortage of ammo?
No industry can be totally prepared for a sudden unprecedented surge in demand, said Jason Hornady of Hornady Manufacturing ammunition company. NSSF officials say the shortages are the result of a combination of booming demand caused mostly by the COVID 19 lockdowns and social unrest.
Can you make ammunition and sell it?
California bans the manufacture, importation, sale, offer for sale, or knowing possession or transportation of handgun ammunition designed primarily to penetrate metal or armor.
Is making ammunition profitable?
The profit margin on ammunition per round is rather low for the manufacturer. The profit is made by producing a gigaton of it, which in the case of . 22, is correspondingly burned through by people blasting away at the range. Most of the (retail) cost on a brick and mortar store shelf is markup for overhead.
Will the ammo shortage end?

Uttar Pradesh: Ahead of the big launch of the 340-km long Purvanchal Expressway in Uttar Pradesh by Prime Minister Narendra Modi today, the opposition has claimed 2,000 government buses have been diverted to fetch crowds to the event.
Here are ten big points on the Purvanchal Expressway event:
The Prime Minister landed in an Air Force C-130J Super Hercules aircraft this afternoon on the major highway, which, Chief Minister Yogi Adtyanath says, “will become the backbone of the state economy”.
Former Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav has accused the ruling BJP of taking credit for his work ahead of the state elections next year. In a tweet this morning, he took a swipe saying, “The ribbon has come from Lucknow and the scissors came from Delhi to take credit for the Samajwadi Party’s work…”
Yogi Adityanath says the foundation of the project was laid in 2018 by PM Modi, and not in 2016 as Akhilesh Yadav claims. “The Prime Minister laid the foundation stone for this expressway in July 2018 and we are in a position today that the PM will inaugurate it. This is a prime example of how a ‘double engine’ government functions,” he said on Monday.
Amid claims by the opposition parties that government buses are being used for the event, officials at the bus stations in Faizabad and Varanasi said that the buses were diverted for the big expressway event.
Locals faced inconvenience as posters were put up at a bus station in Varanasi to inform them about the change in schedules.
In the run-up to the big event, videos on social media captured the trial runs in Sultanpur for PM Modi’s visit. A clip of a dry-run on Sunday showed a Mirage 2000, an AN-32 turboprop, and a Sukhoi-30 landing on the highway, about 100 km from state capital Lucknow.
PM Modi will go for a public rally shortly. Around an hour later, he will witness a Mirage 2000 landing on the 3.2 km airstrip and a servicing demo. An AN-32 transport aircraft will land troops on the airstrip. This will be followed by a flypast by three Kiran Mk2s, flanked by 2 Sukhoi 30 jets.
“Tomorrow is a special day for Uttar Pradesh’s growth trajectory. At 1:30 PM, the Purvanchal Expressway will be inaugurated. This project brings with it multiple benefits for UP’s economic and social progress,” PM Modi tweeted last evening.
The highway is “6-lane wide which can be expanded to 8-lane in future. It has been constructed at an estimated cost of about ₹ 22,500 crores,” according to an official statement.
It is going to give a boost to the economic development of the eastern part of Uttar Pradesh especially the districts of Lucknow, Barabanki, Amethi, Ayodhya, Sultanpur, Ambedkar Nagar, Azamgarh, Mau, and Ghazipur, the statement says.

JUDGMENT :- This appeal has been preferred by the accused-appellant against the judgment dated 15th December, 2009, passed by the High Court of Judicature Madhya Pradesh at Jabalpur in Criminal Appeal No.7 of 1991. By the impugned judgment, the High Court dismissed the appeal preferred by the appellant thereby affirming the sentence passed by the Additional Session Judge, Dindori in Session Case No.10 of 1990, for an offence punishable under Sections 498-A and 304-B of the Indian Penal Code, 1860 (IPC).
The deceased, Mamta Bai, was married to the appellant Srikant in the year 1986 in the collective Marriage Conference held at Jabalpur. The case of the prosecution is that at that time, no dowry was settled but afterward the appellant started demanding dowry of Rs.15,000/- and used to harass her and subjected her to cruelty on account of not fulfilling the demand. Badri Prasad Gupta, PW-17, the brother of Mamta, who was a Sub-Engineer in Irrigation Department at Baikunthpur, managed to help the appellant to open a hotel at Baikunthpur. The said hotel was run by him for 2½ months only. However, the appellant could not run the hotel properly hence it was closed. Thereafter, the appellant had gone to Bhopal for business purposes but on failure, he returned to Baikunthpur and intended to start a stationery business at Vikrampur for which Badri Prasad Gupta, PW-17, gave Rs.2,500/- to the appellant. Thereafter, the appellant persisted his demand and got the letters written by his wife Mamta (now deceased) and brother Ramakant, but the parents and brothers of the deceased failed to meet the same. For the said reason, the appellant continued to harass his wife. On 25th July, 1989, Mamta, poured kerosene over herself and on her daughter, Ruby aged about 2 years, and set herself ablaze on account of which both of them sustained burn injuries.
3. On the information of Guljari Lal, PW-7, at the outpost of Vikrampur, report was written in Rojnamcha Sanha (Ex.P-33C) by Ravishanker (PW-37). Sarada Makhan Singh (PW-35), Principal of Government Higher Secondary School, Vikrampur, recorded her dying declaration (Ex.P-26). Mamta and her daughter Ruby were sent to Primary Health Centre, Dindori, where they were admitted. Dr. S.K. Khare (PW-11) intimated the concerned police for recording her dying declaration and, therefore, at the request of the concerned police, Mr. C.L. Yadav (PW-8), Naib Tahsildar and Executive Magistrate recorded her dying declaration (Ex.P-6). Subsequently, on 26th July, 1989, at 3.05 a.m., Mamta died and her daughter Ruby also died. Marg Intimation No.0/89 was registered at police station, Dindori, from where it was sent to Police Station Shahpur, where the Marg Intimation No.15/89 under Section 174 of Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973, was registered. After preparing Panchanama of the dead body of Mamta, postmortem examination was conducted by Dr. S.K. Khare (PW-11) and Dr. R.M. Mishra (PW-29). The doctors opined that the cause of death was shock as a result of extensive burn. However, Viscera and articles were preserved for further chemical and histopathological examination. The articles were seized and on the basis of inquiry of Marg Intimation, Crime No.81/89 under Section 306 of IPC was registered at Police Station, Shahpur. The statement of witnesses were recorded during the course of investigation and seized articles were forwarded to F.S.L., Sagar, for chemical examination. After completion of the investigation, the charge sheet was filed in the Court of J.M.F.C., Dindori, who committed the case to the Sessions Court for trial.
4. The appellant was charged under Sections 498-A and 304B or in alternative under Section 306 IPC. He denied the guilt and claimed innocence contending that he has not committed any offence. On behalf of the prosecution altogether 37 witnesses were examined and no witnesses were examined on behalf of the defence. After appreciation of the evidence, the trial Court held the appellant guilty under Sections 498-A and 304B IPC and sentenced him with rigorous imprisonment for 3 years under Section 498-A and for rigorous imprisonment for 10 years for the offence punishable under Section 304B. Both the sentences were directed to run concurrently.
5. Mr. Fakhruddin, learned Senior counsel, appearing on behalf of the appellant, mainly placed reliance on the dying declaration of the deceased, which was recorded by Mr. C.L. Yadav, Naib Tahsildar and Executive Magistrate, Dindori. It was contended that it was an accidental death, as accepted by the deceased, Mamta, herself in her dying declaration. It was further contended that the trial court mainly erred in law in discarding the two prompt dying declarations made by the deceased. It was also contented that the trial court failed to appreciate that there was no cogent evidence as to the torture and dowry harassment and that much less harassment was for or in connection with dowry soon before the death. He placed reliance on some of the decisions of this Court, which will be discussed at an appropriate stage.
7. Mamta died on 26th July, 1989 at 3.05 a.m. The Panchanama of the dead body was prepared and postmortem examination was conducted by Dr. S.K. Khare (PW-11) and Dr. R.M. Mishra (PW-29). According to their opinion, the cause of death was shock as a result of extensive burns. The postmortem examination report is Ex.P-14 which contains the signatures of both the autopsy surgeons.
8. It is not in dispute that the appellant married to the deceased, Mamta, in the year 1986 and the death took place on 26th July, 1989. Therefore, the prosecution could prove that the deceased died within 7 years of her marriage and died due to burn injuries.
9. Mamta died on account of extensive burns and keeping in view the evidence of the autopsy report, the question arises as to whether it can be recorded as an accidental death, as contended on behalf of the appellant. But before discussing the said issue it is desirable to notice whether the prosecution had proved all the ingredients beyond reasonable doubt against the appellant to draw the presumption under Section 113B of the Indian Evidence Act, 1872, as to whether the appellant caused dowry death.
"304B. Dowry death.-(1) Where the death of a woman is caused by any burns or bodily injury or occurs otherwise than under normal circumstances within seven years of her marriage and it is shown that soon before her death she was subjected to cruelty or harassment by her husband or any relative of her husband for, or in connection with, any demand for dowry, such death shall be called "dowry death", and such husband or relative shall be deemed to have caused her death."
11. The basic essentials required to be established u/s 304B IPC are: (i) The death of a woman was caused by any burns or bodily injury or otherwise than under normal circumstances; (ii) Such death have occurred within seven years of her marriage; and (iii) Soon before her death she was subjected to cruelty or harassment by her husband or any relative of her husband.
"113B. Presumption as to dowry death.-When the question is whether a person has committed the dowry death of a woman and it is shown that soon before her death such woman has been subjected by such person to cruelty or harassment for, or in connection with, any demand for dowry, the Court shall presume that such person had caused the dowry death."
(i) The question before the Court must be whether the accused had committed the dowry death of a woman;
(ii) The woman was subjected to cruelty or harassment by her husband or his relative;
(iii) Such cruelty or harassment was for or in connection with, any demand for dowry; and
(iv) The woman was subjected to cruelty or harassment soon before her death.
15. Ram Dayal Gupta (PW-23) is the father of the deceased, Mamta. Ravishankar Gupta (PW-7), Badri Prasad Gupta (PW-17) and Purshottam Lal Vaisya (PW-23) are her brothers. They have given evidence that the appellant demanded Rs.15,000/-. Letters were also received demanding Rs.15,000/- from the in-laws of the deceased. They have denied that the appellant demanded such money for doing the business.
16. Ram Dayal Gupta (PW-22) has deposed that Rs.7,000/- was given at the time of marriage but the appellant demanded Rs.15,000/- at the time of 'Bidai'. His daughter used to tell him that the appellant used to demand money. She told the aforesaid facts 3-4 times and lastly 5-6 months before the incident. Due to financial constraints, he failed to meet the demand. His daughter wrote a letter/Article-B to him which was seized by the police. In the cross examination he has stated that he did not lodge the report regarding the demand of dowry because he wanted the relation to be maintained.
17. Ravishankar Gupta (PW-7) had also given evidence that the appellant demanded Rs.15,000/- but he did not provide the same. He also received letter/Article-D written by the brother of the appellant.
18. Badri Prasad Gupta (PW-17) in his statement deposed that the appellant demanded Rs.15,000/-. He also stated that the appellant used to harass his sister and, therefore, he took his sister to Baikunthpur where he was serving. The appellant also reached there. He managed to open a hotel for the appellant but it was closed after 2½ months.
19. Similar was the statement made by Purushottam Lal Vaishya (PW-23) that subsequent to the marriage of his sister he had gone to Vikrampur where the appellant demanded Rs.15,000/-, but he refused. Thereafter, he demanded Rs.3,000/- or Rs.4,000/- but he expressed his inability to give the same. He also stated that his sister used to tell him that the appellant harassed her on account of not giving the dowry.
20. The aforesaid evidences corroborate each other and it is clearly proved that the appellant harassed his wife, deceased Mamta for and in connection with dowry. The appellant harassed the deceased 5-6 months prior to the death of the deceased also justifies the stand taken by the prosecution that the harassment for or in connection with dowry was soon before her death.
21. From the aforesaid evidence on record it is clear that the deceased Mamta died due to burn injuries, the death took place within 7 years of her marriage, she was subjected to cruelty and harassment by her husband, such cruelty and harassment was for and in connection with dowry and such harassment was soon before her death. The prosecution having proved all the essential against the appellant, the presumption under Section 113B of the Indian Evidence Act certainly goes against the appellant.
22. The learned counsel appearing on behalf of the appellant submitted that the death was incidental and, therefore, could not be termed to be a death due to burns caused due to harassment for or in connection with dowry soon before the death. He placed reliance on the dying declaration of Mamta dated 25th July, 1989, when she was admitted in Primary Health Centre, Dindori.
23. The dying declaration (Ex.P-6) was recorded by Mr. C.L. Yadav (PW-8), Naib Tahsildar and Executive Magistrate, Dindori. The certificate that she was fit to give statement was obtained from Dr.S.K. Khare (PW-11). Mr. C.L. Yadav has given his statement that he recorded the dying declaration of the deceased Mamta and she gave her statement and that she remained conscious during the recording of the statement. This witness has also stated that at the time of recording of the statement no other person, except Dr. Khare, was there as all others were sent out.
24. On perusal of the statement of PW-8, it reflects that he has given the evidence before the Court in a very slipshod manner. He had not given the evidence in detail as to what the deceased stated in her dying declaration.
25. The Court also failed in its duty to record the statement of the said witness properly. It is evident that the dying declaration was not recorded in the question and answer form and the members of her in-laws family were there when she was admitted in the Primary Health Centre, Dindori. Therefore, the possibility of her in-laws influencing her in giving her statement could not be ruled out.
26. The trial court and the High Court both ruled that the dying declaration given was not voluntary. The theory of accidental fall of kerosene container due to the act of child and catching of fire had been negatived in view of the evidence of autopsy surgeons Dr. S.K. Khare (PW-11) and Dr. R.M. Mishra (PW-29), who have clearly deposed that the smell of kerosene was coming out from the body of the deceased which can only be possible by pouring the kerosene over the body and setting the fire. Dr. R.M. Mishra had clearly opined that it was not the case of accidental fire. Therefore, it is not proved that Mamta gave dying declaration voluntarily. Another dying declaration was recorded on the same date, i.e. 25.7.1989, by Sardar Makhan Singh (PW-35), who was examined as PW-35. He was posted as Principal of Government Higher Secondary School, Vikrampur. He stated that at about 3-4 p.m., the S.H.O. sent a constable to him who narrated the incident and told him that the S.H.O. had invited him to record the statement because he was a gazetted officer. Then he went to the residence of the accused person with the policeman and saw that a woman aged 22-23 years old was lying on the cot. The woman was in burnt condition and was gabbing. A child was lying there, who was also in burnt condition. The child was lying inside the house. He subsequently stated that he did not feel the smell of anything, including kerosene. The said woman told him to teach her daughter properly and he promised that he would teach her properly. When he asked the woman about the said state of affairs, she told him that she was cooking food in the kitchen and the container of oil got overturned on her dress which caught fire.
27. The aforesaid statement was recorded by PW-35, which was signed by two proper witnesses and marked as Ex.P-29. However, the said dying declaration was first recorded by the Principal and then the two witnesses put their signature.
28. In State of Punjab Vs. Parveen Kumar (2005) 9 SCC 769 this Court while dealing with different versions of the incident in the several dying declaration held that such dying declaration may create doubt about their truthfulness. Having noticed that three dying declaration made by the deceased woman, first before her uncle, second before Executive Magistrate and third before Sub Inspector of Police, one contrary to the other, this Court held that the dying declarations being inconsistent with each other as versions disclosed were quite different and as role of the accused was differently described, held that those were not reliable.
29. In the present case, we find that two versions have been recorded in two dying declarations one in which the kerosene container fell on her and the other in which daughter accidentally overturned kerosene container over her, contrary to each other. Therefore both the trial Court and the High Court discarded the dying declarations.
30. Learned counsel appearing for the appellant relied on the decision of State of A.P. Vs. Raj Gopal Asawa and Another (2004) 4 SCC 470 : [2004 ALL MR (Cri) 1469 (S.C.)]. In the said case having noticed the provision of Sections 498A, 304B IPC and Section 113 B of the Evidence Act, this Court held:
"A conjoint reading of Section 113-B of the Evidence Act and Section 304-B IPC shows that there must be material to show that soon before her death the victim was subjected to cruelty or harassment. Prosecution has to rule out the possibility of a natural or accidental death so as to bring it within the purview of the 'death occurring otherwise than in normal circumstances'. The expression 'soon before' is very relevant where Section 113-B of the Evidence Act and Section 304-B IPC are pressed into service. Prosecution is obliged to show that soon before the occurrence there was cruelty or harassment and only in that case presumption operates. Evidence in that regard has to be led by prosecution. 'Soon before' is a relative term and it would depend upon circumstances of each case and no strait-jacket formula can be laid down as to what would constitute a period of soon before the occurrence.
It would be hazardous to indicate any fixed period, and that brings in the importance of a proximity test both for the proof of an offence of dowry death as well as for raising a presumption under Section 113-B of the Evidence Act. The expression 'soon before her death' used in the substantive Section 304-B IPC and Section 113-B of the Evidence Act is present with the idea of proximity test. No definite period has been indicated and the expression 'soon before' is not defined. A reference to expression 'soon before' used in Section 114. Illustration (a) of the Evidence Act is relevant. It lays down that a Court may presume that a man who is in the possession of goods 'soon after the theft, is either the thief has received the goods knowing them to be stolen, unless he can account for his possession. The determination of the period which can come within the term 'soon before' is left to be determined by the Courts, depending upon facts and circumstances of each case. Suffice, however, to indicate that the expression 'soon before' would normally imply that the interval should not be much between the concerned cruelty or harassment and the death in question. There must be existence of a proximate and live-link between the effect of cruelty based on dowry demand and the concerned death. If alleged incident of cruelty is remote in time and has become stale enough not to disturb mental equilibrium of the woman concerned, it would be of no consequence."
31. It was contended on behalf of the learned counsel for the appellant that prosecution while succeeded in proving that the woman died due to burns, they failed to prove that the burns was not due to accident and it was otherwise than in normal course. However, such submission cannot be accepted in view of Section 304B IPC, wherein it is stipulated that where the death of a woman is caused by burn or bodily injury or occurs otherwise then under normal circumstances within 7 years of marriage and when it is shown that soon before her death she was subject to cruelty or harassment by her husband or any relative of her husband for or in connection with any demand for dowry such death shall be called dowry death or such husband or relative should have been deemed to cause her death.
32. The cause of death u/s 304B can be burns or bodily injury which is specified under Section 304B. If death occurs otherwise then normal circumstances it is a third category u/s 304B, which is non-specific unlike burns, or bodily injury, though burn and bodily injuries also comes within the meaning of otherwise then under normal circumstances. Therefore, if one of the essential ingredients is proved that the death of the women is caused by burns, it is not necessary for the prosecution to prove that death occurs otherwise then normal circumstances, as death due to burns comes under otherwise then under normal circumstances. If all the four essential ingredients are proved beyond all reasonable doubt by the prosecution, the presumption under Section 113B will go against the accused, who in his turn may prove that the death of the women was accidental and was not due to harassment of husband or relative of the husband for or in connection with dowry and no such harassment was made soon before the death. In the present case the appellant has failed to prove the same.
33. The prosecution being successful in proving all the essentials of Section 304B of IPC and the appellant having failed to rebut the evidence by placing evidence on record that death was accidental death, we find no ground to interfere with the conviction made by the trial court as affirmed by the High Court. However, taking into consideration the nature and circumstances of the case, while we affirm the conviction of appellant-Srikant, S/o Ram Charan Gupta under Section 498A and 304B IPC and sentence of rigorous imprisonment for 3 years for the offence under Section 498A, as held by trial court and affirmed by High Court, we reduce the sentence to rigorous imprisonment for 7 years for the offence under Section 304B IPC. Both the sentences shall run concurrently. The appeal is dismissed.

United States-Luxembourg Tax Treaty
Luxembourg International Tax Compliance Rules
Quick Summary. Located in Western Europe, the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg shares a border with France, Belgium and Germany. Luxembourg consists of three districts and 12 cantons with its capital at the city of Luxembourg.
Luxembourg obtained independence in 1867. It is a parliamentary democracy with a constitutional monarchy, the world’s only sovereign grand duchy. The Constitution of Luxembourg, adopted in 1868, serves as the supreme law of the land. Legislative power is vetted with a unicameral legislative body, the Chamber of Deputies, which is advised by the Council of State.
Effective in 2020, Luxembourg’s Parliament implemented the EU Anti Tax Avoidance Directive regarding hybrid mismatches with third countries (“ATAD 2”), providing for hybrid mismatch rules. “Reverse hybrid” measures are expected to be implemented in 2022. Luxembourg is a signatory to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD)-sponsored Multilateral Convention to Implement Tax Treaty Related Measures to Prevent Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (BEPS), which was ratified by Luxembourg’s Chambre des Députés.
In addition, Luxembourg’s Parliament has approved a Bill (n°7465) implementing the Directive (EU) 2018/822, which provides for automatic exchange of certain tax information.
A founding member of the European Economic Community (later the EU), Luxembourg is also a member of the OECD, United Nations, NATA and Benelux.

Information Exchange Under the Treaty
Under the existing treaty, the obligation to obtain and provide information to the other country is set out in paragraph 1. The information to be exchanged is that which is foreseeably relevant for carrying out the provisions of the Convention or the domestic laws of the United States or Luxembourg concerning taxes of every kind applied at the national level, to the extent that the taxation thereunder is not contrary to the Convention. This language incorporates the standard of the OECD Model, which is intended to provide for exchange of information in tax matters to the widest possible extent and, at the same time, to clarify that Contracting States are not at liberty to engage in “fishing expeditions” or to request information that is unlikely to be relevant to the tax affairs of a given taxpayer.
This standard is interpreted consistently with 26 U.S.C. section 7602, which authorizes the IRS to examine “any books, papers, records, or other data which may be relevant or material.” (emphasis added). In United States v. Arthur Young & Co., 465 U.S. 805, 814 (1984), the Supreme Court stated that the language “may be” reflects Congress’s express intention to allow the IRS to obtain “items of even potential relevance to an ongoing investigation, without reference to admissibility.” (emphasis in original). However, the standard would not support a request in which a Contracting State simply asked for information regarding all bank accounts maintained by residents of that Contracting State in the other Contracting State.
Exchange of information with respect to each State’s domestic tax law is authorized to the extent that taxation under domestic tax law is not contrary to the Convention. Thus, for example, information may be exchanged with respect to a covered tax, even if the transaction to which the information relates is a purely domestic transaction in the requesting Contracting State and, therefore, the exchange is not made to carry out the Convention. An example of such a case is provided in the OECD Commentary: a company resident in one Contracting State and a company resident in the other Contracting State transact business between themselves through a third-country resident company. Neither Contracting State has a treaty with the third state. To enforce their internal laws with respect to transactions of their residents with the third-country company (since there is no relevant treaty in force), the Contracting States may exchange information regarding the prices that their residents paid in their transactions with the third-country resident.

The business created by a former Transportation Department worker and his neighbor earned $2.5 million in contracts with the agency in fiscal year 2015, according to its 2016 annual report.
Indictments in June alleging former SCDOT field operations manager, Charles Shirley and his Leesville neighbor, Allen Ray broke the law while operating Pine Ridge Specialty Services, LLC. were unsealed in late July.
According to the indictments, almost all the money PRSS made came from contracts with the SCDOT. The documents say Shirley set up “secret mechanisms” to ensure the agency and the public didn’t know about his interest in the business, taking $360,000 that came from funds PRSS received from SCDOT contracts directly overseen by his department.
Shirley resigned in January.
Two other former SCDOT employees were indicted on corruption charges, but did not appear to have a connection to Shirley and Ray.
The Attorney General’s office would not comment further on the investigation or on whether an investigation at the agency would continue.
