Filament of an incandescent lightbulb observed through a diffraction grating Diffraction grating is an optical element whose properties are periodically modulated in one dimension. Transmissive diffraction gratings consist of many thin lines of either absorptive material or thin grooves (indentations) on an otherwise transparent substrate. Light transmission through a diffraction grating occurs along discrete directions, called diffraction orders. Here an incandescent lightbulb is photographed through a transmissive holographic diffraction grating. The zeroth order does not exhibit diffraction (bright white filament) while the two first orders occur at distinct diffraction angles that camera lens translates into distinct positions on the sensor. Moreover different wavelengths (colours) of incident white light diffract slightly differently, leading to the apparent spectral decomposition.

For those of you out there who still think that voting does no good, there was an amazing and inspiring story in last week's Boston Globe about Carol Shea-Porter, winner of the congressional seat in New Hampshire's First District.
Shea-Porter is one of the very few people in the age of big-money campaigns who can watch "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington" and truly see herself. She's of a political breed that many believed was extinct: the angry citizen who decides to run for Congress -- and wins.
No other newly elected representative came from as far off the national radar screen as Shea-Porter, a 53-year-old community activist who never before ran for public office. She defeated Representative Jeb Bradley last week in a race that shattered the myths of what it takes to win a congressional seat.
She had no slick ads or Washington consultants. Her campaign was run by a medieval scholar who worked alongside a nutritionist, an accident investigator, and a pair of court reporters. The Democratic establishment brushed her off as unelectable. She was outspent 5 to 1.
According to the story, the average House seat "costs" close to $1,000,000 in terms of the amount needed for advertising. Shea-Porter spent only about 12% of that figure - $123,000 - the least amount of any of the House candidates nationwide. And she won! Mind you Shea-Porter is the first woman New Hampshire ever sent to congress, and the first Democrat from the district over 30 years!
One thing that caught my eye about about part of her strategy:
After Bush won reelection, she began tracking [Rep Jeb] Bradley at town hall meetings to confront him about his support for the Bush agenda and the Iraq war...
Very effective, and something any of us could do, either individually or in a tag-team group with our own Representatives.
For more excellent reading on how she accomplished this amazing feat, see:
Maybe I'm na´ve, but I think this story demonstrates why Americans should honor and exercise their privilege to vote. This encourages and empowers average citizens like Carol shows us that we can still, if we put our minds to it, take back the reigns of power of our government.

Study on optimization of isothermal forging process of Ti alloys
DING Ping-ping1, YANG Yi1, YI Qin2, LIU Jian1, YAO Wei-xiong1(1. College of Manufacture Science and Engineering, Sichuan University, Chengdu 610065, China; 2. DMEM Strathclyd University,Glasgow G1 1XJ UK)
This research was aimed to develop an integrated methodology based on FEM simulation and artificial neural network (ANN) for optimization of isothermal forging process of Ti alloys. The cycle of CAD-CAE-OPTIMIZATION-CAD was realized. The results of CAE were introduced into a CAD environment during the cycle. The FEM simulation was first used to create training cases for the ANN, and the well-trained ANN was used to predict the performance of the design. The cycling work was done automatically until the results were acceptable, and the final design scheme would approach the optimal one with the experience and knowledge of top experts. The integrated approach is effective and time saving.

Mike Jeffries always had a passion for cooking and wanted to share with the world “an amazing barbecue taste sensation,” but he also knew that he would need to find a unique niche business opportunity that would help differentiate him from everyone else. That point of difference came in the form of a behemoth barbecue smoker pit, a $45,000, three-tonne, engine-shaped beast that had to be imported to Tauranga all the way from Texas. But for Jeffries, this was non-negotiable. “When I discovered the superior barbecue techniques that Americans used, on such awesome equipment, I knew I had to bring it to New Zealand.”
That was at the end of 2010, and The Big Smoke BBQ has since spread throughout the North Island. They now have three large BBQ smoker pits and a base from which they can cater to the Auckland and Northland areas. Jeffries has also purchased a large Chevy truck and is in the planning stages of mounting a large smoker on it, expected to be completed in the upcoming months in time for the Auckland summer busy period. Furthermore, Big Smoke now has its own range of dry rubs, sauces and bacon jam.
With their mobile BBQ smoker pits and their catering set up, The Big Smoke BBQ can handle large and varied numbers. Weddings and corporate functions are favourites of the Big Smoke BBQ team, due to the high-spirited nature of the attendees. “We love seeing the surprising taste reactions we get from customers when they taste true style barbecue for the first time.” Popular dishes include Cajun chicken tenders with lemon lime youghurt dressing and pulled pork with the Hogs in Heaven pork rub and lashings of Big Smoke BBQ Sauce.
Jeffries was recently invited to take part in the Memphis in May BBQ World Championship by star of reality TV shot ‘BBQ Pitmasters’ star ‘Big Moe' Cason. The team placed fifth out of 65 at the annual competition – technically fourth equal, but an unlucky coin toss bumped them down a place.
Mike is now working on expansion plans with Auckland partner, Carl Edwards, so expect some more exciting future developments from The Big Smoke BBQ Co! Keep up to date through their Facebook page and website, www.thebigsmokebbq.co.nz.

Steroid injections are as effective as surgery in treating carpal tunnel syndrome, a new study concludes.
The study, published last week in the journal Arthritis & Rheumatism, also found that the injections appeared to provide faster relief.
In carpal tunnel syndrome, swelling in the narrow "tunnel" in the wrist presses the carpal ligament against a nerve, leading to pain or numbness in the hand. Mild cases are treated with splints to hold the hand in a position that eases the pressure or with drugs known as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agents like ibuprofen. More severe cases can lead to partial paralysis of the thumb or a permanent loss of sensation, and more serious measures are required, the study said.
The two main treatments in such cases have been operations to release the trapped nerve and steroid injections to reduce the swelling. The two methods had never been tested against each other, according to the study, which was led by Dr. José-Luis Andréu of the Clínica Puerta de Hierro in Madrid.
In the study, 101 patients with 163 wrists in need of treatment were randomly assigned to one treatment or the other.
Because the pain, tingling and numbness associated with the condition are often most severe at night, the study measured effectiveness by charting decreases in nighttime symptoms.
The researchers found that three months after treatment, about 85 percent of the steroid group reported a 70 percent improvement, compared with 60 percent of those who had surgery.Continue reading the main story
One year after treatment, the two methods were statistically identical in terms of relief.Continue reading the main story

Marilyn Mulero was just 21 when she was sentenced to death in 1993 for the revenge murders of two gang members.
The death penalty was later changed to a life sentence, and on Wednesday her lawyers argued that she should finally be freed from prison because her confession was illegally coerced by Chicago police detectives.
“I can’t believe that this lack of due process happened in the United States of America, that a 21-year-old was sentenced to death without a trial," Justin Brooks, founder of the California Innocence Project, told the Illinois Prisoner Review Board. “As I got further into it, it became an innocence case.”
Mulero and two other women were accused of luring two Latin King gang members to Humboldt Park, where they were both shot in the back of the head. Prosecutors said the women targeted the men in retaliation for a gang member’s death.
Mulero pleaded guilty to first-degree murder after confessing to the crime. One of the others, 15 at the time, pleaded guilty to murder and conspiracy to commit murder and was sentenced to 35 years. The third woman was sentenced to life in prison following a guilty verdict by a jury. She was also 15.
An appeals court changed Mulero’s death sentence to life in prison in 1998. She is jailed at Logan Correctional Center near Springfield.
During Wednesday’s hearing in the Thompson Center, Brooks contended Mulero’s confession was coerced by former CPD Detectives Reynaldo Guevara and Ernest Halvorsen, who have been accused of falsifying evidence in other cases. About a dozen convictions linked to Guevara have been tossed out since 2016.
Several family and advocates at the hearing wore shirts with the words, “Framed by Guevara." He and Halvorsen have both since retired.
After Mulero was arrested, the detectives threatened her with the death penalty if she didn’t take responsibility for one of the murders, according to her lawyers.
“It’s taken 25 years for us to finally have the corroboration that this did happen, that the detectives perpetrated this same kind of practice of abuse against dozens of people, dozens of minorities in the Humboldt Park area," said Lauren Myerscough-Mueller, one of Mulero’s lawyers and part of the Exoneration Project.
Mulero, now 49, has spent more than half her life in prison. Before she was jailed, her life was marked by physical and sexual abuse, her lawyers said, but she had no history of committing violence herself. While in prison, Mulero has had few infractions, but none since 2012.
She also completed her GED and led several programs in prison, including a support group for women facing life sentences. “She is in as good of a position as a person could ever be upon release,” said attorney Lauren Kaeseberg.
Mulero’s cousin, Damaris Medina, said her family is prepared to support Mulero in every way upon release because she’s a “very important part of our family.”
Objecting to Mulero’s release was the widow of one of the victims and his daughter, born one week after the murders.
“What about the victims?” the widow asked. “The family gets to visit her, they get to hug her, where do we go? We go to the cemetery to see our loved ones.”
This is the third time Mulero’s case has been brought before the clemency board, but her advocates expressed hope that the outcome will be different this time.
“This has been a nearly three-decade odyssey for Ms. Mulero, and it’s time for her to come home," Brooks said. “I believe finally today there is such significant evidence that police officers in this town, particularly Detectives Guevaro and Halvorsen, have set people up. People have been wrongfully convicted in the city of Chicago, and it’s time for us to release them from prison.”
Gov. J.B. Pritzker will make the final decision based on the board’s recommendation. Myerscough-Mueller told the board they are hoping for a full pardon but at the very least want a commuted sentence based on Mulero’s behavior in prison.
“Marilyn Mulero is sitting in a prison cell right now after 28 years of screaming from every mountaintop that she is innocent,” Kaeseberg said. “The governor can grant mercy to someone who deserves mercy. The governor should do that in this case.”


I'm relocating myself for some time and going back to Holland. Reasons mostly have to do with family and possibilities/opportunities career-wise. Besides that, it's a question of the ability to do a Master's, the work conditions, the violence and some absolutely appalling cases of corruption / abuse of public services / government that the world has ever seen :\ (and in my opinion a general lack of common applied sense and/or lack of action. Brasil (the people, the judiciary system, the democracy) will have to throw out a good lot of incompetent or thieving personas that somehow got their position there before it can go forward.
I'm already looking around for opportunities and have some interviews planned. Later on, I'll have to see how things match together. Project Dune is still going forward, the forums could improve a bit qua traffic. I'm reinstalling and moving between computers at the moment, so editing and other activities may be a bit difficult.

This Dairy-Free Homemade Peach Ice Cream recipe is perfect for those who are sensitive to lactose without compromising the texture or flavor of ice cream. This Peach Ice Cream recipe is smooth, sweet, and full of plump and ripe peaches.
Okay, so it’s no mystery that you girl is lactose intolerant. Pretty bad might I add. It is something that is getting worse and worse as I get older, so I noticed. When I was in my mid-twenties I was constantly getting nauseous and really bad stomach cramps just about every time I would eat something. I thought I had celiac disease, but come to find out, I am lactose intolerant according to a doctor. He did tell me that it would get worse as I get older and he wasn’t lying.
How to make this Dairy Free Homemade Peach Ice Cream
I came across this ice cream technique on the Minimalist Baker blog. I love them! Their photography is perfect! Anyway, I put the two cans of coconut milk in the refrigerator to allow the milk to chill. This will also thicken the milk a little bit as well. I poured the coconut milk along with some pure cane sugar, my peaches, and vanilla extract into a blender and mix for about two minutes. This is to help the sugar dissolves and evenly incorporate the peach flavor throughout the ice cream mixture. Once this step is complete, I pour the mixture into my ice cream machine and sit back and wait for the magic to happen! If you are need of an ice cream machine, you should definitely try this one by Cuisinart. It’s very affordable and easy to use.
Ice Cream Containers
Cuisinart Ice Cream Maker
- 2-14 oz. Cans of full-fat coconut milk (coconut cream)
- ½ c. pure raw cane sugar + 2 tbsp., divided)
- ½ tbsp. Vanilla extract
- ¼ tsp. Cinnamon
- 4 large ripe peaches, skinned and diced
- Following the manufacturer's instructions of your ice cream maker, place the ice cream bowl in the freezer overnight or for at least 6 hours before using.
- Place your diced peaches in a bowl and sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of pure cane sugar. Allow to sit for 1 hour at room temperature.
- Pour the coconut cream (milk), vanilla extract, cinnamon, pour in all of the peach juice and ¼ cup of diced peaches. Blend for 2 minutes. Pour into your ice cream maker along with the rest of the peaches and allow to churn until it turns into soft serve ice cream, about 10 minutes.
- Pour into a freezer safe container or a loaf pan lined with plastic wrap. Smooth the top and cover with plastic wrap. Place in the freezer for 4-6 hours before serving.

The Spiritual Exercises grew out of the spiritual journey of St Ignatius of Loyola. As a young man, he was vain and spiritually weak, yet after a cannonball injury, he began a spiritual pilgrimage to find God in his life and to discern God’s will. During a lengthy convalescence from his injury in his Loyola castle, Ignatius began to notice moments of consolation and desolation within his heart and soul, and realized that God speaks to us from within. As he moved through his life, which included preaching, evangelizing, prayer, and academic studies, Ignatius gained spiritual insight and compiled his spiritual journey into a journal. This journal began to serve as a spiritual guide as he directed others on their spiritual path.
Thus began the Spiritual Exercises, facilitated initially only by Ignatius and then later by his companions, always given to people who sought to deepen their relationship with Jesus and sought to find God in creation, in the world around them. It was first published, after many revisions by Ignatius himself, in 1548. Ignatius always stated that the Spiritual Exercises were for all people who sought to deepener their relationship with God, not only for Jesuits and/or religious.
The Spiritual Exercises are structured in four distinct weeks, with a clear framework that carries the retreatant through a series of meditations, prayers, and contemplative practices developed by Ignatius Loyola. Many of the Exercises are based on the experiences of Ignatius' life and spirituality. The weeks allow the retreatant to look deep within, to examine the life of the human Jesus and to see which choices and values are expressed in Jesus' life and the retreatant's own.
There are several ways to experience the Spiritual Exercises, and for centuries, the most common way was to immerse the retreatant into a retreat of 30 days of silence and solitude, with a spiritual director leading the retreatant through the retreat. In recent years, there has been a renewed emphasis on the Spiritual Exercises as a spiritual retreat for laypeople, using different ways to experience it.
19th Annotation: A common way is called the 19th Annotation, where an individual can do the exercises as a retreat in daily life. This would involve committing to a months-long program of daily prayer, meeting regularly with a spiritual director.
18th Annotation: The Exercises have also been adapted in many other ways to meet the needs of people in all walks of life. The 18th annotation is an abridged version of the Exercises with varying lengths. Many of the same themes and individual exercises and meditations are included and it can be a retreat in daily life (for four or six or eight weeks) or even as an eight-day retreat at a Jesuit retreat house. For a list of Jesuit retreat houses in the U.S., see the link below. These retreat houses offer Ignatian retreats of varying lengths.
Ignatius wrote that the Exercises: “have as their purpose the conquest of self and the regulation of one’s life in such a way that no decision is made under the influence of any inordinate attachment.” He wanted individuals to undertake these exercises with the assistance of an experienced spiritual director who would help them shape the retreat and understand what they were experiencing. The book of Spiritual Exercises is a handbook to be used by the director, not by the person making the retreat. (IgnatianSpirituality.com, a service of Loyola Press)

IAMMIDCITY Exhibit in Spain Street Park
Thriving communities need public space. In spring 2016, Mid City Studio partnered with East Baton Rouge Public Schools and the Mid City Redevelopment Alliance to design an IAMMIDCITY curriculum for 3rd grade students at The Dufrocq School and Bernard Terrace Elementary. Students learned about the area's history, geography, and culture before making maps, laying out timelines, and taking photos to document how they see Mid City. The students' photos are on display in a public exhibit in Spain Street Park at 2191 Spain Street. The IAMMIDCITY exhibit began as a service-learning, design-build project at Louisiana State University in 2014. Architecture students were challenged to develop a 1200-square-foot public space in front of local printing company Lettermans Blue Print and Supply - who generously sponsored the construction of the project at their Mid City location. The final product was a panelized, mobile exhibit that moves throughout the Mid City area, showcasing new content and creating a new public space each time it is deployed. The exhibit is currently showcasing photographs taken by local 3rd grade students who participated in a week-long IAMMIDCITY curriculum that focused on the Mid City area. It will remain on display in Spain Street Park. The curriculum and exhibit were funded by the William Edwin Montan Charitable Trust and made possible through support by the Mid City Redevelopment Alliance, East Baton Rouge Public Schools, Lettermans Blueprint and Supply, BREC, Brewhaha Inc., and Garden District Nursery.

Metal stamping has largely overtaken all other metal forming techniques in recent years. Forging and die-casting methods, for example, are being phased out in favor of metal stamping, which has lower production costs.
FREMONT, CA: Metal stamping is the process of creating punching separation or plastic deformation effects using the power of punching machinery and the usage of molds as metal plate forming tools to meet component manufacturing technology in terms of size, shape, and performance criteria.
Stamping is a manufacturing technique that uses mechanical stamping or ramming to shape sheets or plates of various thicknesses into the desired shape while maintaining the thickness of the original material. Stamping technology is frequently utilized in production engineering for three-dimensional components, cutting, or other unique surface needs.
Punching, bending, and drawing are the most frequent stamping processes. As an example, consider the key that is used every day. If one designs a lower female mold with the same shape as its inner hole and an upper punch with the same shape but a smaller upper punch, put the sheet on the female mold and utilize a punch to fix it on the upper punch punches down over the sheet to get the key of the aspired shape. Two to three hundred parts or more can be created in one minute using automated punch production. This is the most basic form of punching. Some additional machining procedures are still required to improve the product's required functionalities or quality.
Metal stamping has largely overtaken all other metal forming techniques in recent years. Forging and die-casting methods, for example, are being phased out in favor of metal stamping, which has lower production costs. The stamping technique can produce stronger and more durable products than other metal forming procedures. Metal stamping is a part of a mixed commercial company since these parts can be efficiently produced at a low cost, saving time and money in general manufacturing.
Metal stamping has a wide range of industrial applications since it is one of the metal processing properties of numerous applications in many industries. The metal stamping process may involve shaping, forming, and changing common base metals into rare alloys for unique preferences connected to its application. Several commercial industries, including aviation, power, and defense-related organizations, require the thermal or electrical conductivity of beryllium copper and the high-quality operation of steel and its diverse automobile composite components.
Metal stamping is utilized in a variety of fields. Agriculture and cultivation, weapons and ammunition, home appliances, aerospace, lawn equipment, power storage, building construction, electronics, vehicle industry, various lighting projects, medical uses, locking hardware, power tools, and equipment, shipbuilding, water pipes tools, marine uses, and other sectors all use metal parts in their machines.

The first thing you notice about Paradis is its stunning location. It sits on the edge of the Le Morne Brabant peninsula with the eponymous Le Morne mountain as its backdrop. Running alongside the resort is a powdery soft white sand beach with an inviting, crystal clear sea to match.
As a golf buggy took us onward to the reception, the resort felt spacious and tranquil. Once we arrived, we were greeted with a refreshing beverage and hot towel to freshen up before we began our tour. Another thing I noticed about Paradis, and indeed about all of the Beachcomber properties, is the very open design of the reception; immediately allowing you to see much of the resort, highlighting the surrounding nature and spectacular scenery with your first step in. The decor here is light and airy with a rural, yet luxurious feel to it. There are guests waiting and eager with their golf caddies to start their afternoon tee off, and others with their tennis rackets, now that the midday sun has subsided.
Sports, Facilities and Restaurants
Paradis boasts a professional 18 hole golf course which starts just a step away from reception and snakes throughout the peninsula. Keen golfers also get preferential rates at three other courses on the Island. And alongside golf, Paradis is a haven for all sports enthusiasts. The list of water sports included in the package is endless; including motorised sports such as water skiing, as well as non motorised sports like windsurfing, sailing and glass bottom boat trips, even down to the humble pedalo! They also have a state of the art gym, fitness classes, mountain bikes and tennis courts as well as professional tennis coaches, who are there to help improve that swing! Kite surfing and deep sea fishing (and diving, for that matter) can also be arranged but are paid for locally.
Another huge plus to Paradis is that its sister hotel, Dinarobin, shares the peninsula; and as a guest you can use all the facilities of both hotels, including the excellent restaurants.
Personally, I would recommend Paradis to couples and families who like to be active by day, and relaxed by night.
And to top it all off, a little birdie told me that Paradis is Miles' favourite place to stay in Mauritius!
Top tip: If possible, request a room at the very end of the peninsula. The scenery is absolutely breathtaking and, if even believable, feels even more tranquil than the rest of the resort.

What is a carbon footprint?
A carbon footprint can be defined as a measure of the greenhouse gas emissions that an entity is directly and indirectly responsible for, expressed in carbon dioxide equivalents and measured in tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent (tCO2e).
Why is reporting carbon emissions important for UCT
The Paris Agreement of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) aims to limit the increase in global average temperature to well below 2°C above pre-industrial levels, and to “pursue efforts” to limit the increase to 1.5°C, to reduce the risks and impacts of climate change. Amongst 195 countries, South Africa has made commitments in terms of the agreement and submitted its first nationally determined contribution (NDC), with an updated NDC being prepared ahead of COP26 in November 2021.
“UCT has made several international and internal policy commitments to environmental sustainability since 1990 and has done well to measure and report on its annual carbon footprint over the last decade.”
The IPCC’s most recent report, the Sixth Assessment Report (AR6), based on observed evidence of warming trends, cautions that global surface temperature will continue to increase until at least the mid-century under all emissions scenarios and that global warming of 1.5°C and 2°C will be exceeded during the 21st century unless “deep reductions” in CO2 and other greenhouse gas emissions occur in the coming decades (IPCC, 2021).
UCT has made several international and internal policy commitments to environmental sustainability since 1990 and has done well to measure and report on its annual carbon footprint over the last decade. The recent UCT Environmental Sustainability Strategy 2020 aims to reduce energy consumption from fossil fuels to zero and carbon emissions to a net-zero state by 2050 or sooner. This will require approximately 2–5% reductions annually off a 2020 baseline. These annual targets will require complete commitment from all stakeholders, especially UCT leadership.
Eskom Electricity grid emission factor
The Eskom electricity grid emission factor for this report has decreased from 1.06 to 1.04 tCO2e (a 1.9% reduction). Since electricity related emissions comprise over 67% of total emissions, this change has a major influence on UCT’s carbon footprint.
Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions contributed 73 417 tCO2e, a decrease of -2.8% from 2018. The population increased by 0.2% in this period, while the floor area increased only slightly by 0.6%.
The total emissions of all scopes are 103 903 tCO2e compared with 103 121 tCO2e reported in 2016 (the last report that also included scope 3 emissions), representing an increase of 0.76% while the UCT population has increased by 2.2%and floor area by -4.6% between 2016 and 2019.
Scope 1 emissions decreased by -1.7% in 2019.
Scope 2 emissions from purchased electricity decreased by -2.7%, understood to be due, at least in part, to extensive load shedding as well as the decrease of -1.9% in the electricity grid emission factor. In absolute terms, electricity consumed in kilowatt hours decreased by -0.8% compared to 2018. Compared to the baseline year 2012, electricity consumption decreased by -2.5%, with a concomitant increase in population of 16.9%, a positive result.
Scope 3 emissions were last reported in 2016 therefore all results in this category are compared with 2016.
For Scope 3 emissions overall, there was a decrease of -6% while the UCT population increased by 2.2% since 2016.
The largest changes in emissions are a decrease in electricity consumption for main and medical campuses; an increase in electricity consumption for the GSB campus; and a decrease in food supply emissions.
Emissions per square metre decreased by -3.2% to 0.108 tCO2e per square metre per annum, with the total building area that increased slightly by 0.6%. This is due to the decrease in scope 2 emissions and to the decrease in the electricity grid emission factor.
The per capita emissions increased by 4.9% from 2.11 tCO2e to 2.22 tCO2e, due to the decrease in population of -7.2%.
“The net zero carbon emissions target and annual reduction in the total emissions for scope 1 and 2 is the most important indicator for UCT to track its performance.”
The energy intensity per capita has increased from 1 894 kWh to 2 024 kWh per capita per annum or 6.8%, again due to the decrease in population.
In future, the net zero carbon emissions target and annual reduction in the total emissions for scope 1 and 2 is the most important indicator for UCT to track its performance.
Similar challenges were experienced with data gathering and data quality issues, with delays exacerbated due to the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown requiring staff to work remotely.
Mitigation of emissions
The most critical actions are to enhance energy efficiency specifically lighting, ventilation and air conditioning; installing renewable energy in the form of solar PV systems; and targeting lower GWP refrigerants.
The total of Scope 1 and 2 emissions decreased by -2.8% compared to 2018; however, this may be largely due to load shedding and the lower Eskom emission factor.
A critical finding in the results is the increase in use of the refrigerant R22 that must be phased out in terms of the Montreal Protocol. Procurement of alternative refrigerants with lower global warming potential, requires urgent attention.
For Scope 2 emissions from electricity, measurement via digital meters is fairly robust and stable, and the gradual decline in consumption since 2016 is encouraging. With the implementation of energy efficiency measures and renewable energy installations, it might be possible to meet annual reduction targets set to achieve Net Zero Carbon by 2050.
“UCT must now focus on how to achieve strong and rapid reductions in its emissions, through urgent action planning, implementation, and reporting on progress against its new net-zero targets.”
The reintroduction of reporting on Scope 3 emissions is an improvement in this report and data gathering challenges must continue to be addressed.
The finalising of the UCT Environmental Sustainability Strategy in 2020, with targets for net zero by 2050, is considered an important milestone in UCT’s response to the climate crisis.
UCT must now focus on how to achieve strong and rapid reductions in its emissions, through urgent action planning, implementation, and reporting on progress against its new net-zero targets.

Detroit street lights
The agreement was reached under a Public Lighting Authority program that allows neighborhoods to help fund more-expensive poles.
Police say their initial investigation indicates that the driver just couldn’t see the pedestrian, a 57-year-old man.
Public Lighting Authority Executive Director Odis Jones says the city is more than 1,000 lights ahead of its original installation schedule.
Last summer, MDOT spent $3.2 million on a project to install 330 new LED lights on a five-mile stretch of I-94. The problem is; the damn things don’t work.
Things are about to get a whole lot brighter in one east side Detroit neighborhood.
Orr said 26,000 lights have been added or fixed, police are responding more quickly to 911 calls and efforts to clear vacant houses have stepped up.
New street lights are coming to an east side Detroit neighborhood.
It may be too broke to pay its bills or even respond to 911 calls on time, but Detroit is still thinking big.
The tedious task of auditing Detroit’s much-maligned street lighting grid is officially underway in a couple of neighborhoods.
Lighting is one of the biggest issues facing the city and starting this week, something will be done to see just how big the problem is.

Welcome to my blog for a really great keto product review! If you’re new here, thanks for joining me! And if you’ve been here before, thanks for coming back. Today I want to share a really tasty, savory keto snack with y’all. You’re probably used to seeing a thousand keto-friendly sweet protein bars by now. Think: Quest bars, Keto bars, Sola bars, MCT bars… you name it. I’ve reviewed a lot of these, and if you’re interested in a post where I rank them, let me know in the comments! In this post, I’ll throw KEHO bars into the mix of keto-friendly snack options. The big thing that sets them apart, though, is that they’re not sweet! People who have cut sweeteners from their diets can rejoice because this is a really cool snack option that you can add to your pantry stash.
Another group that can rejoice are plant-based keto dieters, because these groups are typically restricted to nut butters and fresh veggies/fruits as a snack. While those who eat meats and animal products have the option of snacking on savory options like cheese, biltong, and meat sticks, these are totally out of the question on a plant-based diet.
Who is KEHO?
Usually I share a quote from the company’s about page here, but their section leaves a little to be desired. I’m not really sure who the person/team is behind these bars just by scanning the website and social media, and that leaves me with mixed feelings. While I’d probably act as a blind consumer and order new products out of sheer curiosity for the first time, what would keep me coming back is knowing something about the company and feeling comfortable that my money is going toward a cause that matters. I recommend to build out this page a little more so online shoppers will feel a better connection with the brand.
I’m going to share my comments about individual bars below, but let me just say… they’re expensive. They’re not quite on the level as another wildly expensive company I’ve reviewed (ahem… Konscious Keto) but they’re definitely out of my price range without any sort of discount. I understand that this is probably because the company is relatively new, and sourcing ingredients and quality packaging is not without a significant cost. I hope, as this company grows, that the cost per bar decreases from ~$5/bar to ~$2.50/bar. And, as a general rule, I try to spend about $0.01 or less per calorie on items. So, for these, a dream world would be paying $2.00-$2.10/bar.
Per serving: 200 cal, 5g net carbs, 16g fat, 5g protein
Ingredients: prebiotic soluble tapioca fiber, pistachios, pecans, macadamias, black olive rings, mushrooms, extra virgin olive oil, non-pareil capers (salt), natural sun-dried tomatoes (salt), sunflower lecithin, white wine vinegar, onion, garlic, basil, thyme, rosemary, black pepper, rosemary extract
Thoughts: This is the first one I tried and I was a big fan right out of the gate. However, as much as I loved it, I felt that this is the only bar that needed improvement. The pizza flavor is there, but the tomato part is a little absent, and I think that’s because the sun-dried tomatoes aren’t super strong. I mentioned this to the company, and the reason there aren’t more sun-dried tomatoes in it is to keep the carbs at 5g net. Personally, I’d rather have more tomato than pistachio, so I’d be cool with a little reformulation on this one. This was the prettiest one IMO, since the olives were out + proud. It tasted mostly like those really good bread dips you get at places like Carrabba’s.

Curry In A Hurry
Per serving: 200 cal, 4g net carbs, 17g fat, 5g fiber
Ingredients: prebiotic soluble tapioca fiber, pecans, almonds, macadamias, onion flakes, cauliflower pearls, spinach flakes, coconut flakes, coconut oil, sea salt, sunflower lecithin, cumin, lime, coriander, mustard seed, cardamom, allspice, chili, rosemary extract
Thoughts: DE. FREAKING. LICIOUS. THIS is the bar I will be thinking about for years and I am not exaggerating. Since I ate this, I’ve been craving curry in a big way. There is absolutely nothing needed to improve this bar. I know I talked about how the price is steep, but I’ll probably justify that cost with a discount code to eat this one. If you like anything curry flavored, you’ve got to give this one a try. My favorite of these three and if the last one is a 10/10, this one is a 100/10.
Tex Mex Moment
Per serving: 210 cal, 5g net carbs, 17g fat, 6g protein
Ingredients: prebiotic soluble tapioca fiber, pecans, pepitas, macadamias, red bell peppers, sweet corn, black beans, avocado oil, mushrooms, onion flakes, sea salt, sunflower lecithin, cumin, garlic, lime, smoked paprika, chipotle pepper, red pepper flake, tomatillo, chili, oregano, rosemary extract
Thoughts: SO so so so so good. I actually had this on the same day that I ate a taco salad because I wanted to give it a fair comparison to actual tex-mex food. And boy, let me tell you, this was a competitor! I actually think I liked this more than the taco salad I had that day. The spices were just enough and it was perfectly salted. I particularly loved the pepita/pepper combo. Not something I’ve had before (especially in this format) so that’s a new favorite for sure. This was my second favorite bar, though I’m not sure it needs any improvement.
Some Bonus Things You Should Know About
Keho has a really great Keto informational page to help you learn more about why the keto diet is helpful and healthy. It breaks down body processes into easy-to-understand infographics so you can share it with friends (especially those who you don’t feel like explaining keto to for the 59th time).
RKF Product Score
Overall, I thought the taste of these was really great! I gave this 8 out of 10 points because I think the Pizza To Go flavor needs some sort of tomato element in it. It doesn’t remind me of pizza enough on its own. The other flavors need no improvement.
You can find these on their webshop only, as far as I can tell. This score could be improved by placing them in health/nutrition stores (GNC) and/or health food stores (Whole Foods, Pop Up Grocer)
You probably don’t need these to start or maintain the average keto diet, but if you’re sticking to a plant-based keto lifestyle, you’re going to need some variety and a convenient on-the-go snack at some point. This one is it.
Not great. I would not pay full price for these, and that’s ok, because I have a coupon code for you so you don’t have to! Link to it is at the bottom of this post. It’s likely that the price will go down as sales go up. Also the nature of the ingredients makes these pricey (pistachios, whole ingredients like Olives).
Absolutely amazing ingredients, and I LOVE LOVE LOVE that it’s not a bunch of chopped up stuff. You can actually see what’s in it (see: Pizza To Go flavor).
Pretty good! I like the product packaging a lot. I think the website is pretty good, but the About Us page left more to be desired (a lengthier story, a video, any charitable contributions, team members?) and I found a couple of errors on the site (I’ve contacted the company to let them know; no need to put them here).
Bottom line: 6.5/10 Generally Recommended (with a discount code)
Ready to try for yourself?
I really hope you like these! Ready for another product review, but don’t see it listed on my blog? Drop a comment below and let me know what I should try next!
Until next time,


Pedestrians and cyclists are more likely to die in the Charleston region than anywhere else in South Carolina, especially if they’re people of color, and the long-standing problem doesn't seem to be improving.
Sometimes, their deaths make headlines, such as when Benjamin Fricke, 31, was struck and killed on Charleston’s Septima Clark Parkway in April, a death that led to new signs and signals along that busy artery.
But mostly, the victims don’t make news, and their deaths lead to little, if any, constructive change.
At a time when the region is rapidly growing and demand for new roads is soaring, bike lanes and pedestrian crossings haven’t been treated as the difference between life and death, but rather as optional add-ons to streets designed for cars.
That puts the state and the Charleston region far behind other places. And while South Carolina and many of its local governments have embraced the concept of “complete streets,” a term for streets friendly to pedestrians, cyclists and transit, not just cars, most streets here remain far from complete.
“It’s an afterthought until there’s an emergency,” said Keith Benjamin, director of Charleston’s Traffic and Transportation Department.
That’s often because most roads are owned and maintained by the S.C. Department of Transportation, so every new project hinges on what the department’s district offices will approve. Local officials like Benjamin don’t have the authority to lower speed limits, to add new traffic lights or crosswalks.
“It’s like, ‘Is SCDOT going to approve this? No, so we’re not going to ask that,’” he said.
To accomplish the drastic culture shift some feel this area needs, the handful of local officials working on the issue say it’ll only happen if more politicians and transportation planners confront it as a matter of public safety rather than simply a matter of quality of life.

“Frankly, I would expect this sort of religious crackdown in Communist China, not in a prominent Western nation like Canada.”
So stated U. S. Senator Josh Hawley in a letter to the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom in Washington, D.C. on June 24th, 2021.
As history has taught, it is often an outside party which comes to recognize a social malady overlooked by those who are too close to an issue to see the truth in the matter. Such as it is regarding U. S. Senator Hawley’s observations on a political trend that Cultural Action Party has done our best to expose:
Under the leadership of Liberal Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, our country is being transitioned away from freedom and democracy, and toward China-style communism. It is not only subjectivity which has blinded most Canadians in this regard. The lack of perception results from a refusal by establishment media to expose this reality. CBC and corporate media are, in fact, being paid to suppress the truth.
“Canadian authorities’ arrest of faith leaders and seizure of church property, among other enforcement actions, appear to constitute systematic, ongoing, and egregious violations of religious freedom.”
–– Senator Josh Hawley.
“As a Christian living in China, your church[can be] shuttered or demolished, and your pastor imprisoned. As a human rights defender who works to protect people targeted for their faith, you may be arrested, or worse, disappear.”
— U.S. Report on China’s Religious Freedoms Violations.
Is Canada morphing into a post-modern replica of China? If so, perhaps a clue can be found in the attitudes of the two Canadians most responsible– Justin Trudeau, and Pierre Trudeau:
“You know, there’s a level of admiration I have for China because their basic dictatorship is allowing them to actually turn their economy around on a dime.”
— Justin Trudeau
“The experience of that superb strategist Mao Tse Tung might lead us to conclude that in a vast and heterogeneous country[Canada], the possibility of establishing socialist strongholds in certain regions is the very best thing.”
— Pierre Trudeau
And still mainstream media refuse to articulate a connection between Trudeau politicians, the Liberal Party, and the government of China. For what purpose? It can only be due to collusion between government and media– another indication of Canada’s transition from democracy to dictatorship. Within communist nations, media advance the will of government. If they do not, they may be thrown in jail.
READ MORE: Canada-China Collusion Drives American Media To Deliver What Canadian Media Refuse To Expose
In a letter to the Chairman of the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedoms, Senator Hawley states:
“I am writing to express my deep concern that freedom is in peril across our nation’s northern border.”
This means Canada, fellow patriots. A growing concern is developing south of the Canadian border. Not within the CBC. Not among executives at CBC, CTV, Globe and Mail, National Post, or any local market small town media publication.
How’s that for a monolithic media shunning of what is likely the most critical social transformation in Canadian history?
Founder, Pierre Trudeau. Executor, Justin Trudeau. Facilitator, Canadian Media.
— Brad Salzberg, CAP Founder (Est. 2016)
8 thoughts on ““Deep Concern That Freedom Is In Peril” In Trudeau’s Canada Says U.S. Official”
Is there really no way to stop him? You all know whats going to happen and has been happening for over a year. We’re all going to be prisoners very soon.
Trudeau is a very dangerous man, a Marxist and a traitor. Americans should be concerned.
Tells it like it is.
God bless Senator Hawley for his concern for Canada. The MSM is useless and they are paid off very well.
I can’t believe this is happening to our country and under a useless, brainless boy child like Trudeau. Where are the conservatives? What are they doing?
I will never vote Liberal but if there is an election called, who do we vote for? As a 70 year old Canadian, I have never felt so ashamed of my country like I do now and helpless. Thank God I’m a Christian and I can turn to God. They can’t stop me from doing that ever.
An election is where we make it happen! Vote conservative, as every other party is in support of the Liberal Gobt and communi
..CPC is the only non communist party fighting day and night for Canadians
Considering everything that’s been happening here
everything goes under his name Trudeau.
I’m not surprised that there checking him out
he’s been under so many court sessions
like 8 or 9 or 10 something like that
or something close so about my guess
but considering he’s always getting into trouble
and that is making up new rules for Canadian
not considering us as Canadians.
It’s all under his name
with wuhan lab in China and in the Manitoba and Winnipeg lab
which all means Canada
very interesting that they were working together
I hope the Americans yank the pants off Trudope, and show the world that he’s a malevolent; festering ass.
However; instead of revealing Trudeau’s shame; he’ll just moon them. This doofus is certainly Satan’s man of the hour. Apart from documenting the dangers Canada poses to our American brothers; what can they actually do to change anything? Perhaps I’m being naive, and they can actually twist Trudope’s arm.
“The enemy of my enemy is my friend” doesn’t apply. Canada is no enemy of China, and the other Western nations have a right to be gravely concerned about this country. Turdo has sold out his countrymen. Thirty pieces of Yuan, and we’re done like dinner.
This would be the same Josh Hawley who voted against a legal election and backs TRUMP and gave MAGA fist pump to capitol Hill rioters?
Definitely not someone to be followed.

On the heels of extending depth defenseman Chad Ruhwedel a few weeks ago, the Penguins on Sunday extended defenseman Mark Friedman to a 2 year extension that runs through the 2023.24 campaign and carries an AAV of $775,000.
Latest on Marc Andre Fleury There is a lot of different information flying around surrounding Marc Andre Fleury’s future with the Chicago Blackhawks ahead of the deadline. In recent days there has been growing buzz that Fleury is 100% open to agreeing to a trade if a deal can be worked out with a team that Fleury truly believes can win a Stanley Cup. Chicago has spoken with around 5-6 teams but options become much more limited when it comes to being teams you can call a true Cup contender. If they can pull it off financially, Colorado checks that box and is the primary team that has interested Fleury for a run at another Stanley Cup, league sources say. There is a belief Fleury would also consider Toronto who has checked into Fleury. There’s much more mystery with teams on the periphery that have spoken with the Blackhawks onRead More »
Source: Letang Remains in Line to command 4 year deal Kris Letang’s former agent Ken Hughes, who was recently named Montreal Canadiens GM, made it known to the Penguins brass just before training camp that any chance of extension was going to take a four year deal and there was going to be little room on their end for much of any of a paycut from Letang’s current salary of $7.25 million per season.

Former Penguins GM Jim Rutherford, now President of Hockey Operations with the Vancouver Canucks has long believed Pittsburgh defenseman John Marino is a special player with a #1 pairing ceiling. Meanwhile, the Penguins’ current brass likes Marino but they don’t see Marino in the same breathe by any means that the Penguins former GM did and still does. That has had Rutherford seeing an opening and exploring avenues to acquire Marino from his former club. Top NHL Insider Elliotte Friedman first reported Saturday night on the Canucks interest in Marino, though, Friedman casted some doubt that a deal will get done by the deadline. Multiple NHL sources say the Penguins have been “receptive” to the Canucks interest in Marino. As the trade deadline inches closer, the Penguins have been viewed around the league as much more inclined to spend assets on a top-6/top-9 caliber winger with term than doing anythingRead More »
Latest Pens Buzz The Penguins signing Jeff Carter to an extension Wednesday should not have surprised anyone. Despite Carter’s age, GM Ron Hextall since the summer has viewed Carter as a big part of this core, on and off the ice. Hextall has a close relationship with Carter’s agent Rich Curran and the two sides broached the possibility back in the summer as the Penguins have firmly believed since last season that Carter had impact years left in him. Carter, 37, has 12 goals and 14 points in 36. Is paying Carter top-9 money through age 39 going to be a great investment after this season? Most likely not. But, Carter was the easiest piece of business to deal with first for the Penguins brass as the organization’s thinking on how to build around this group has shifted over the last month. On the job for about a year now,Read More »

Penguins on Track to be Sold for Around $870 Million The Pittsburgh Penguins are being sold to the Fenway Sports Group in a sale that is expected to come in around a staggering $870 million dollars. Whether it was now or 3-4 years down the road, majority owners Ron Burkle and Mario Lemieux have been eyeing the opportunity to cash in on the franchise that the Lemieux group bought in 1999, saving the franchise out of bankruptcy. This day was always coming. Lemieux and Co aggressively tried to sale the club back in 2015, but interference of the NHL seeking a price tag of $750-$775 million hamstrung ownerships desire to initially sale the club in the $600 million range six years ago as the group was prepared to take a deal around $640 million at the time where Mario Lemieux would have been out as owner.

This is the first volume of The Age of Johnson to be substantially compiled since the death of the journal's founding editor, Paul J. Korshin, who died as Volume 16 was nearing completion. Paul's unexpected and much-lamented death has prompted a number of changes in the journal, which he and I had edited together for the previous seven years.
The first, and most visible, change is a new name on the masthead: J. T. Scanlan of Providence College has agreed to serve as Book Review Editor. Only once I began trying to take on all of Paul's editorial responsibilities did I realize just how extensive they were, and just how ill prepared I was to do the job unassisted. Scanlan long a friend of and contributor to The Age of Johnson has agreed to carry some of that burden, and to keep the review section as lively and incisive as it has been since the journal's founding. Second, after many years of service on the Editorial Board, Morris R. Brownell has decided to step down. I am grateful for his assistance over the years, and wish him all the best.
Despite these changes, I hope that Volume 17 is also marked by a great deal of continuity with the previous volumes. As usual, this yearís volume begins with a series of essays devoted to Johnsonís intellectual life. The first is by Steven D. Scherwatzky, who revisits a familiar theme Johnson's "Augustinianism" but, unlike most of those who use the word, he strives for precision in considering the ways in which Augustine can be said to have influenced Johnson's thought on empire. Johnson's religious thought is the subject of Matthew M. Davis's exploration of the "usages controversy," which for the first time illuminates Johnsonís involvement in an important eighteenth-century liturgical debate. Mel Kersey turns his attention to a theme that has attracted growing attention in recent years, the nature of "Britishness." His essay uses the prefatory comments in the Dictionary to examine "Johnson's depiction of England as a provisional entity overshadowed, and perhaps even overwhelmed, by the British nation-state." Tim Aurthur and Steven Calt examine the evidence about Johnson's use of opium over the course of his long and often disease-ridden life. And Linde Katrizky is the first to explore the connections between Johnson and the circle around William Petty, the second Earl of Shelburne, later Lord Lansdowne. There is also a pair of contrasting essays Thomas M. Curley's comprehensive indictment of James Macpherson, whose involvement in the Ossianic affair prompted one of Johnson's most famous letters, and Nick Groom's response, which suggests that "forgery" is a more complicated notion than most readers have recognized.
As in previous volumes, the word "age" in the journal's title is at least as important as "Johnson": five of this year's full-length essays are on topics not directly related to Johnson or his circle. The first is Charles Haskell Hinnant's article, which relates some of Daniel Defoe's most important fictions to the French "pseudo-memoir" tradition. Two more pieces draw on a great deal of unpublished manuscript evidence: Eve Tavor Bannet examines some of Sarah Scott's personal and literary relationships; and John L. Abbott, now at work on The Early Journals and Letters of Fanny Burney, 178486, offers an account of an episode in Burney's life. Lance Wilcox gives a reading of Catholicism in Elizabeth Inchbald's Simple Story. And Christopher Reid offers looks at the cultural significance of quotation in the House of Commons, a rich subject not yet explored in any depth.
Recent volumes of The Age of Johnson have included a number of omnibus review essays on various eighteenth-century subjects; the tradition continues in this volume. Chris P. Pearce offers a long and thoughtful consideration of a collection of essays on Johnson's Dictionary; Philip Smallwood gives the same kind of attention to the new Cambridge History of English Literature, 16601780. David Hopkins reviews three collections on John Dryden, prompted by the tercentenary of the poet's death, and reflects on the direction of Dryden studies in the new millennium. Richard Wendorf, who contributed an important essay on Romney studies in Volume 16, offers a thoughtful review of the recent Reynolds exhibition at Tate Britain. And Kevin Berland reports on the kinds of research made possible by three important electronic databases, EEBO, ECCO, and the Archive of Americana. The volume also sports the usual diverse array of book reviews, with considerations of sixteen recent titles on eighteenth-century studies.
I've depended quite a bit on members of the journal's editorial board this year, and would like thank them for their contributions. I hope Volume 17 is a worthy successor to the volumes edited by Paul Korshin. Next year's volume will be a special number, devoted to Paulís memory.
The Editor gratefully acknowledges the support of the Office of the Dean, Faculty of Arts and Sciences, Rutgers University Newark Campus.

“My dog ate absorbent meat pad!” You must be worried if your dog has done this. You should know that it is one of the most common queries over the internet.
You must be searching over Google whether it’s normal, and most importantly, are meat pads poisonous for dogs? And what should you do in this scary situation?
Don’t worry because you’re not the first pet parent to go through this. This article will fill you with every bit of information you need to handle this troublesome situation. So, without further ado, let’s get started!
Table of Contents
What is Absorbent Meat Pads?
We all usually buy meat from the grocery store. When you do it, you must have seen that it is typically packed with an absorbent meat pad. This absorbent pad prevents spilling juices from your meat into your grocery bag. It also absorbs bacteria, so you won’t end up contaminating your fridge and kitchen countertops.
These pads might seem gross to humans, but they’re very tempting for dogs. Why won’t they be? These pads are soaked with mean juices, and their smell can attract dogs even when they’re playing outdoors.
Dogs are too quick, and within their first attempt, they can grab the absorbent pad from the kitchen countertop, and that too without you noticing it. In this way, they may end up eating the entire absorbent pad.So, if you’re worried that your dog has eaten an absorbent pad, don’t panic.
This article will help you know how dangerous absorbent pads can be for your dogs and what you should do in such a situation.
Are Meat Absorbent Pads Dangerous For Your Dogs?
If your furry friend has eaten an absorbent meat pad, you must be panicking and thinking, “Oh my God! My dog has eaten an absorbent meat pad! What should I do? Will it be okay? Should I take it to the vet?
Firstly, we want you to stop panicking because absorbent meat pads are not toxic. However, the pad can still cause a problem for your dog, if it’s a pup or a small dog. Usually, the pad may pass right through your dog’s system within a day without causing any problem.
However, the pad can get stuck in the intestine in small breed dogs and pups and create a blockage. This medical emergency is known as intestinal blockage and can be a potential threat to your dog.
An intestinal blockage may result because the pads are very absorbent. The pads expand as they soak up the dog’s digestive tract liquid, leading to a blockage.
Symptoms of an Intestinal Blockage in Dogs. You may observe these symptoms if your dog has developed an intestinal blockage:
- Lack of appetite
- Painful, swollen stomach
If your canine friend is showing any of these symptoms, call the vet immediately. It is a life-threatening medical emergency. Your dog needs help now.
What To Do If In Case My Dog Eats An Absorbent Meat Pad?
If your dog has eaten an absorbent pad, monitor him closely for the next 24 hours.
Look out for the symptoms, including vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, etc. Usually, mid-sized and larger dog breeds possess more minor threats than small breed dogs.
Mid-sized to large-sized dogs could pass absorbent pads on their own by vomiting or pooping. However, if they show any symptoms, call your vet immediately.
Moreover, how the dog has eaten the absorbent meat pad and what amount matters. If your dog tore the pad up and then ate it, the gel inside it will pass down easily without causing any blockage.
However, if the dog has eaten the absorbent pad without any tear, the pad may obstruct the digestive system.
So, if the pad doesn’t pass down on its own, take your dog to the vet immediately. Your vet may give a hydrogen peroxide dose to induce vomiting.
It might sound like a simple and more accessible procedure, but you shouldn’t do it yourself. It would be best if you do it in the presence of professionals as a higher dose of hydrogen peroxide is toxic for your dogs.
Frequently Asked Questions on Dog Ate an Absorbent Meat Pad
FAQ 1: Are meat pads toxic?
The absorbent meat pads are made from absorptive materials – cellulose or silica gel, then covered with non-toxic plastic wrapping. So, nothing in a meat pad is toxic, but it can still cause a problem if swallowed by a dog.
FAQ 2: How to tell if my dog has a blockage?
Your dog might be having intestinal blockage if it is showing any of these symptoms:
- Loss of appetite
- Straining or unable to poop
It would be best to be very careful with your dog as intestinal blockage symptoms could be easy to brush off as merely an upset stomach unless you witness your dog eating absorbent pads.
FAQ 3: How much time does it take to determine whether your dog has an obstruction?
The symptoms of intestinal blockage usually occur within 24 hours after eating complex objects like an absorbent pad or popsicle stick. The time frame may vary depending on the place where the item lodges.
FAQ 4: Can bowel obstruction get clear on its own?
If your dog’s bowel is partially blocked, your vet may tell you to wait for some time until the bowel clears on its own. He may also prescribe a medicine to ease the bowel passage. However, if there is a complete blockage, your dog may require to stay in the hospital and undergo surgery.
FAQ 5: What can you give your dog to help them pass an object?
You can feed a bulky meal of dry food to pass down non-eatable products from your dog’s system.

|Love and Malice|
|Native Name:||Ljubav i zloba|
|Premiere Location:||Old City Hall in Zagreb|
Love and Malice (Croatian: Ljubav i zloba) is an opera in two acts composed by Vatroslav Lisinski to a libretto by Dimitrija Demeter. It premiered on 28 March 1846 in Zagreb and is considered to be the first Croatian national opera. Its premiere had been delayed when the singer who was to take the leading male role was shot and seriously injured during the Austrian crackdown on Croatian nationalists in July 1845. Most of the protestors who were shot were (like the composer himself) adherents of the Illyrian Movement.
Members of the Illyrian movement thought for a long time that someone should write a Croatian national opera based on the first Slavic national opera A Life for the Tsar by Mikhail Glinka. Young Lisinski, author of music for reveille Prosto zrakom ptica leti (Bird flies freely through the air), seemed as a good choice.
Libretto for opera was written by Josip Car who based it on the idea of Alberto Ognjen Štriga. Libretto was then reworked by Dimitrija Demeter (who is considered to be its author), while the instrumentation was refined by JK Wisner Morgenstern, Lisinski's music teacher.
Events surrounding the July victims in the summer of 1845 delayed rehearsals and premiere for March of 1846.
When Lisinski and Demeter finished the Opera, they contacted Countess Sidonija Rubido, opera singer educated in Vienna. She got main role of Ljubica and performed on premiere and four more screenings in March and April 1846. After that, Countess Rubido was no longer publicly performing. She is remembered as the first Croatian opera singer.
After extensive preparations Opera was first performed on March 28, 1846 in the Old City Hall in Zagreb, ten years after Glinka's Life for the Tsar and twenty before Smetana's The Bartered Bride. Besides great success of the first performance and favorable social and cultural circumstances, Opera's protagonists also contributed to its popularity: Countess Sidonija Rubido as Ljubica, Franko Stazić (later known as Franz Steger, leading tenor of the Vienna Court Opera) as Vukosav, and Alberto Ognjan Štriga.
Story takes place in the early 16th century near the town of Split. The main character is young Ljubica, daughter of Prince Velimir, who promised her hand to prince Vukosav. However, she is in love with young Obren. He is in love with her too. Vukosav finds out about that and attacks Obren. They start fencing. Prince Velimir then separates them and denies access to his home for both of them. Vukosav declares blood feud.
Ljubica and Obren meet up in the garden and he confesses his love to her. Vukosav who spied on them brings Velimir so he could see Obrenov's courtship. Velimir gets angry and leaves. Vukosav and his servant Branko hatch a plot to kidnap Ljubica and kill Velimir with the help of twelve Hajduk's. Obrenov's friend Ljudevit finds out about the plot.
Velimir forces Ljubica to write a letter to Obren in which she refuses him. Ljubica's letter breaks Obren's heart and he tries to kill himself but at that moment Hajduk's attack Velimir's estate and capture him, Obren and Ljubica. Velimir admits that he forced Ljubica to write letter to Obren. Vukosav gloats over the prisoners. Bunch of peasants led by Ljudevit suddenly show up. Vukosav tries to kill Ljubica with a knife, but Ljudevit shoots him down. At the end, all actors kneel down and start to pray.


Two missing eastern Missouri women have made the best of a bad overnight experience. The DeSoto women had been missing since last night after getting lost rounding up cattle. They wandered into some woods to fetch an animal and got turned around in the overgrowth. Once things got dark, the 44 and 39-year-old women built a fire and “hunkered down”. They found a road the next morning and started knocking on doors. They’re back home, unharmed.
