Two-and-a-half years ago, I had the pleasure of reviewing on this blog Cilla McQueen’s poetic memoir Ina Slant Light, taking her life from her birth in 1949 to the 1980s, when she felt she had established herself as an independent voice in poetry.
Now that she is nearly 70, McQueen is rewarded with a large (nearly 300 pages), handsome hardback selection (with ribbon bookmark) of her work. As her preface says, Poeta selects poems from her 14 previous collections, but they are only loosely arranged in chronological order of publication. The eleven sections that make up Poeta are organised thematically, so that poems from earlier in her writing career sometimes appear side-by-side with poems from much later. At the foot of each page, however, the date of first publication or composition of each poem is noted. And this arrangement does allow us to see what Priscilla Muriel McQueen’s most consistent preoccupations have been. Each section is prefaced with a line drawing by the poet, reminding us that McQueen – long associated with Ralph Hotere and other southern artists – is artist as well as poet. McQueen tells us that her selection was made with the help of another very good poet from the Deep South, Richard Reeve.
Now that I’ve given you the bibliographic orientation, let’s consider the poems themselves, the earliest, as far as I can discern, dating from 1982 and the most recent from 2017, so covering 35 years.
There is great difficulty in “reviewing” what amounts to the life work of a poet. For earlier ham-fisted attempts by me to do so, see on this blog reviews of Collected Poems ofAlistair Te Ariki Campbell and CharlesBrasch Selected Poems and Being Here (Vincent O’Sullivan’s selected poems from 1973 to 2013). A poet’s style changes over the years and, as a reviewer, it is hard to corral his or her meaning and style into one neat formula.
Reading McQueen’s earlier poems, we at first think the poet is matter-of-fact and giving us snapshots of landscape and domestic life. But we quickly discover that McQueen has strong strains of playfulness and genuine surrealism in poems such as ”Living Here” (sheep turn into hedgehogs and vice versa) and “Timepiece” (time stops still, just like a science fiction story) and she can express angst about identity in lines such as “there’s a point past which I must suppose / the world exists, but I’ve no guarantee” (“Listen”) because “The hardest thing is seeing / straight and saying plainly” (from “Vegetable Garden Poem”).
As an artist, she also gives us studio scenes of the artist at work, and hence poems about fellow artists and poets such as Hone Tuwhare. But there is that strong rationalist (as opposed to empirical) awareness that everything is processed by the brain and that all friends are known through perception. Recalling friends in “Evocations”, she concludes “They appear as a radiance in my nerves”. McQueen favours loose stanzaic forms and much (perhaps most) of her poetry is written in the first person as direct address to the reader.
The section called in this collection “Quark Dances” has its moments of surrealism (a poem about the whole world becoming naked and experiencing Dionysan joy; a poem about a bishop being pulled underground) but some of it has – dare I say it – a touch of the Edith Sitwells and verges on whimsy, especially in the performance poem “Lady Alice the Incredible Lady Gymnast” who, according to the opening lines “constructed a flying machine / of surpassing grace and lightness / out of shells and feathers and fishing line / which made a fitting carriage” even if she is defeated with a clump by gravity. It is in this section of Poeta that McQueen asserts ironically her own poetics, satirising “male” ideas of what poetry should be (“Wacky Language”) and current poetic norms that run against her natural exuberance (“Soapy Water”). One gets a mental impression of a very lively person waving her arms, declaiming with a laugh in her tone and not caring too much where the chips fall.
With an extract from her poem “Bump and Grind”, her predilection for onomatopoeia and non-verbal utterances comes to the fore: “Heavy and hot after rain the crossing bells ring, / tangtangtangtangtangtangtangtang (bird whistle) and here / comes the train, a big one, grinding along all on one note, / tooooooooot / the train is present (a close bird sings) and past, a red light / shift, clung, clung, clung, clung, over the / sleepers (a close bird sings) and brakes, wheeeee wheeeee, / /till the bell stop, the bird continues, low rumble, fade out, fade out.” Of course it is illustrative of the fluidity and constant movement of reality, but it is the noises themselves that most beguile the poet. And for its equal as a cheerful nonsense concatenation of sound, look out for “Dogwobble” later in this volume, or her 2018 poem “Bird Text” which is simply a series of notated bird sounds.
To judge from this volume, it was a trip to (still-divided) Berlin and other parts of Europe in 1990 that first sent McQueen on the path of historical recollection and reconstruction. Here the Berlin poem is linked to poems written much later in the 2000s, like the long discursive poem “Ynys Elen” (Lundy Island in the Bristol Channel), written in stricter stanzaic form than is her wont and reflecting on her Celtic heritage. Or “The Spectre” about colonising English admiral Sir Richard Grenville. Or “The Fuse” about Te Whiti’s followers being imprisoned in Dunedin after the suppression of the Parihaka community. Later in the volume “The Glory Track” links New Zealand coast with earlier historic memories; and there is a whole sequence on the island of St Kilda in the Outer Hebrides, whence the poet’s forebears came.
I do not think anyone would ever accuse Cilla McQueen of being wilfully obscure (remember, this is the woman who wrote in the early poem “Kids on the Road” that “I would like to kick / t.s.eliot in the head / because you shouldn’t have to pass / english exams to love poetry” – a manifesto for accessability and simplicity). But I would judge the least obscure, most accessible poems in this volume to be those in the section titled “Foveaux Express”, mainly written in the 2000s, stately and affecting poems about Bluff, Southland, and animals (cat and sheep dominate some poems) written with real lyrical flair. This is maintained in the following section “Notes for Moths”, where there is often the chillier side of the south reflected in high winds and a tragedy at sea.
Inevitably aging creeps into later poems. The nearest McQueen comes to a protest poem is the long discursive poem “Tiwai Sequence” (dating from 2000), which brings in scientific and historical knowledge and minute detail to paint an unflattering picture of the smelter not far from McQueen’s Bluff home. In this and in other poems from the 2000s, the ecological concerns are more overt. Consider the opening lines of the poem “Frogs”: “The atmophere is thinning - / the world is getting dirty / as the outer epidermis eats itself.” Sheer autobiography is featured in three sections from In a Slant Light. Many of McQueen’s most recent poems are cast in a quizzical mode and the whole volume concludes with that most opaque form of writing – a response to works of art which the poet has seen but we haven’t.
I’ve really messed up this review, haven’t I? By giving a once-over-lightly of the contents, I’ve done no real analysis. I enjoyed reading Poeta very much and note that on the whole, Cilla McQueen is more oriented to things that are to be celebrated rather than to things that are to be deplored. There’s a joyful buzz to most of this representative collection, despite the moments of satire and angst. I think McQueen is at her best when referring most closely to her own southern region and its [domesticated] beasts and I do think that her active aesthetic is one that sees poetry mainly as a form of play.

Goodness but some alliterations are dead obvious, aren’t they? For years, whenever I heard the name Derrida my brain automatically said “deride”, which is how I felt about the chap. I’m sure legions of others did the same. (We had equally obvious alliterations for Foucault). So let me make it clear that I enjoyed the title poem of C.K.Stead’s latest collection That Derrida Whom I Derided Died. The poem begins “Derrida, enemy of plain sense, my enemy too / determined not to be grasped since understanding / was the first step on the road to control”. This is indeed a fair summary of the French literary theorist and his approach. And now, of course, being dead, Derrida is himself “deconstructing” literally, leaving only a faint stink, as the last line of the poems implies.
I don’t think I’m being unpleasant if I state the bleeding obvious: That Derrida Whom I Derided Died is an old man’s book. Stead is now in his 86th year and the chimes at midnight are clanging furiously. The last of this collection’s six sections is titled “Nocturnes” and is quite specific about the nearness of closing time. “Death was everywhere” says the first poem in this section. There’s a “knock on the door of death” in the second. The poet dreams of his long-gone father in the third while the poem “Those difficult Russians” appears to be a reverie mixing in youthful elements and babbling o’ green fields. “Unusual obsequies” concerns the death of Prof. Nicholas Tarling and in case you don’t get the general drift, the last poem in the book is “Ten minutes to midnight”.
The nearness of the Big Sleep evokes various responses in Stead. It sometimes leads him to affectionate or wistful memories of people living and dead, so there’s an Horatian ode to Fleur Adcock, poems about Kevin Ireland and the widow of Allan Curnow, not to mention a couple referencing Peter Porter and others from Oz. “The year was ‘69” is basically a nostalgic recreation of friends and associates from fifty years ago. It has good lines (“the inner Manukau stillness / sliced by cicadas”) and reproving ones, like David Mitchell’s “scent of the dope that would drain / his Keatsy brain”. When he recalls lost loves (adolescent or student days or later on), Stead sometimes puts on his Catullus persona. With the help of a spirit medium and a ouija board, I spoke to the shade of Catullus the other night, and he said he thought it’s an awkward fit when a nearly-nonagenerian pretends to be a poet who died when he was 30, but there it is.
The sheer skill of Stead at his best is found in the section labelled “Laureate 2015-2017”, where he shows that he can turn an assumption upside-down if necessary. Commissioned to write a poem celebrating a significant anniversary for the New Zealand Navy, Stead, a committed non-militarist, produces a poem which navigates the topic very cleverly by being a salute to all the sailing and seafaring, military of otherwise, that made New Zealand what it is. “WW100”, on the centenary of the First World War, decries war and the pity of war as Owen did, but with specific New Zealand references. Catullus pops into this one too, presumably countering Horace’s “dulce et decorum est” line.
I’m cherry-picking what I write here, of course. All reviews of collections of poetry do this. If a serious collection were analysed as it should be, then each poem would have to be scrutinised closely and at length, and this would produce a very long review. So, regrettably, generalisations are inevitable.
It is quite predictable that Stead bares his claws and lashes his tail over religion, with various poems telling us that the people of Genoa are superstitious and that the laws of physics bring a spacecraft back to earth and not people’s prayers. God's "divine and eternal love" is questioned in a poem about a funeral. Okay, I prefer Stead's honest atheism to the watery agnosticism of another poet who opted for a funeral at Holy Trinity Cathedral, so this is to be expected. But, as daylight fades, Stead’s hit-backs and point-scoring over literary opponents or rivals can become oppressive. These attempted last words on old quarrels are the least lovely part of this opus. Parthian shots from aging fingers. Pre-emptive epitaphs before his own epitaph is written. Some nice chatty things are said about “intolerable Lauris [Edmond]” but Stead’s verdict is that, for her, “when backs were to the wall and guns blazing / truth was a stranger”. “My contemporaries across the Ditch” works its way through five Aussies of Stead’s vintage [mainly poets, but including Barry Humphries] concluding with Ern Malley who would “kill and give life to two pedestrian pens.” Really? This revives the argument Stead made in his review of Michael Heyward’s The Ern Malley Affair, and it’s still a wonky argument. In “A flash in the pan” Stead hits back at an easily-identifiable author and critic who reviewed him negatively. I suppose I should admit that I gave an approving snigger to some of Stead’s hit jobs. Of course C.P. Snow’s “two cultures” deserves a kick (the poem “A Matter of Time”). Stead is probably right to see Janet Frame’s novel The Memorial Room as being a product of “her own / inner / culture of complaint” and to ask “is this ingratitude / or only / the solipsist’s / sad and solo canto? ” But, for all my approving sniggers, there’s an awful lot of dyspepsia in this book.
And does Stead, being cerebrotonic, sometimes censor or rope in his feelings, for fear of being seen as a sentimentalist? Watching sunrise in Christchurch he says
“I see the sun truly is / that boring old / ball of bullshit fire / in all its gold glory.” The lines give and take away at the same time, don’t they? “See,” they say “I’m admitting the sun’s glory, but I’ve also got to tell you it’s bullshit and boring, otherwise you might think I’m a romantic dullard. Oh and by the way – it’s ironic, so I have an out-clause in all contingencies.”
Ah yes, irony. That’s the word I forgot to use in this review. It’s all over the place in That Derrida Whom I Derided Died, poised, baited and ready to snap at the reader. Walk carefully through this volume. It has much intellectual meat and quite a bit of snark. It’s entertaining, it’s engaging, it has a nice poem about being treated by women doctors and other felicitous things. How contradictory. Going gently into that good night is not on its agenda.

My scrapbook tells me that a bit over seven years ago (5 June 2011, to be precise) I reviewed for the Sunday Star-Times Michael Morrissey’s Taming the Tiger, his autobiographical account of the time he was hospitalised when his bipolar affliction turned into paranoia and complete madness. What made that book work so well was Morrissey’s complete candour about his madness and yet the rational way he wrote about it – lucid prose delineating the experience he had been through. Morrissey sane was writing about Morrissey insane.
Poems from Hotel Middlemore, a modest, stapled volume of poems, revisits the same experiences in another literary form. Here is Morrissey in the psychiatric ward on the 5th floor of Block 35E of Auckland’s Middlemore Hospital. Some poems report on the company he keeps. Psychiatrists drug patients and act like God. Most patients don’t know why they are there, or firmly believe that are sane. One Kurdish fellow inmate can hardly speak English. Another is a guilt-torn woman who thinks she’s let everyone down. Another urinates copiously and craps his pants. There are fights over who controls the television set. Morrissey stays awake all night when he and another inmate are in the mania phase of their affliction. There is similar straightforward (and sane) reportage, in one of the opening poems, where Morrissey outlines his hard life as a child in a transit camp and his mother’s being committed to a mental hospital while he was sent to a boarding school.
But the dominant tone of this collection is not reportage. I am tempted once again to use the term “surreal” as Morrissey’s wild imagination gushes out demented, but oddly fruitful, images. He compares the place of his incarceration to the land-locked Kurdistan or declares “cosy in my psychiatric ward / I felt safe from savannah lions and marauding golfers / composed as a patient can be / they call them clients now.” (“Savannah Lions”). A poem like “Chilly Theology” is at once mad and compelling – maybe God has been dethroned by the Devil? The poem modestly titled “Unwell’ begins “I’m in the best hotel in the world / grandest view / hot and cold running / but it’s a psychiatric ward / everyone mad except me / and I am mad too / as a butchered snake / ram-raided by delusion / I have bipolar delusion which comes / and goes / of its own free will”. It’s even bleaker in the poem “I’m crazy and I can prove it”, which includes “darker than indigo a mood arrives / my mnd devouring itself / a corpse in an acid bath”.
I have rarely come across a New Zealand poet who so completely acts out Roy Fuller’s description of poetic inspiration as “fertile lack of balance”. The poems reflect bouts of insanity, but they are sane themselves. Join the train of exalted madhouse poets – Smart, Collins, Blake. All aboard!

Karl Stead is 86. Michael Morrissey is 76. Cilla McQueen is 70. Old farts all (like the only-slightly-younger reviewer whom you are now reading); but all experienced poets, each with a long back-catalogue. Julie Ryan is also a senior citizen, but Last of the Halcyon Days is her debut collection of poetry. As the back-cover blurb tells us, she is the widow of the late Frank Ryan, who was mayor of the Auckland suburb of Mt Albert, and some of her poems reflect their travels and life together. She is also the mother of actress Lucy (“Xena the Warrior Princess”) Lawless, who has made enthusiastic Facebook posts about her mum’s poetry.
Now that I’ve got this gossip out of the way, may I say how much I enjoyed this unpretentious and delightful collection? Julie Ryan may be approaching old age, but her poetry is neither quaint nor old fashioned. Certainly she chooses traditional metres and regular rhyme in a few of her poems, like the opening jocular survey of Doubtless Bay. She even gives us one regular sonnet, concluding Shakespeare-style with a rhyming couplet. But these poems are the exceptions. In style, Julie Ryan shows she is completely au fait with current poetics and she is not squeamish about the imagery she uses. I note here the incredibly violent imagery of her poem “Dr Tom in the Red Shed”, the meaning of which I cannot quite grasp. She can also do what the best poets do – create memorable images in the form of metaphors. I love her characterisation of passing vineyards as “green corduroy for miles” in the poem “Poetry homework on the train, Picton to Rangiora”. And, to turn my praise in a different direction, I like the straightforwardness of some of her statements, as when she closes the poem “The pay-off”, a paean to family, with the words “we / luxuriate in progeny, / all beautiful, / all good.”
As I often do when reviewing poetry collections, I try to work out why the work has been divided into distinct sections. As I read Last of the Halcyon Days, its three sections run thus:
The first, called “Haul Another Anchor”, is like a ramble through Oz and Europe and parts of New Zealand which the poet visited with her late husband. It contains an ingenious poem about ‘Alice’ [the huge machine which dug the Avondale tunnel], connecting it with the psychiatric hospital that was once in that area. There is some nice satire in this section, on the new internationalised eating habits of Aucklanders (the poem “Word of mouth”) and on the way indigenous fauna itself changes (the poem “Tui at four o’clock”).
Ironically titled “Homesickness”, the second part has at least some focus on the sickness of home – that is, what ails Auckland. Do not be surprised to meet a poem about homeless people; a poem about the annihilation of old houses by the building of the University of Auckland’s business school; and a poem about the travails of an Iraqi refugee hairdresser. More than one poem references godwits (a well-established New Zealand poetic image fo the restlessness and wanderlust of our population); and there is an ironical reference to war in Iraq in “Aunt Daisy, 2010” which reads in its forceful entirety: “Bricks sundried from mud / of any country with two rivers / make an excellent base for soup, / well saturated as they are with blood / and bone fragment shrapnel.” All I query about this perfect little jab of conscience is how many New Zealanders – apart from us old farts – would now know who Aunt Daisy was.
Finally, and more tenderly and personally, there is the third section “Secret Women’s Business” – not a feminist rant but poems mainly about friendship, motherhood and memories - a jingle about learning science at school ; reflections on a durable alligator-hide handbag ; imagery of children in the poems “Adora – mouth to mouth” and “Out of her element”; a sequence on women playing tennis; a couple of poems about visiting old women in hospital; and, of course, in the poem “Dust” an image of death itself in the form of a dying bird. With great self-deprecation, Julie Ryan acknowledges her own old age in the poem “On visiting old ladies”, which concludes “I’m limited now to those over ninety / or better, over a hundred, but / I notice young ladies are visiting me / to borrow old hats and bobbins.”
I say of this volume what I thought when reading Cilla McQueen – it is mainly engaging and fun, for all its satire and sombre moments. Last of the Halcyon Days is so well pointed that, unless you were told otherwise, you would not know this was the poet’s first collection. It’s the work of a very capable poet.

21st Century Wire says…
The Turkish government has long been regarded as a puppet of the United States, and now with Israel using Turkey’s bases to launch deadly airstrikes against Syria, it is also a puppet of Israel.
Flash mobs nearly crippled the Turkish government in June of this year, forcing leaders to come and beg for public leniency over the police’s heavy-handedness during protests.
What few outside of Turkey realise is that Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan has been busy staging show trials to eliminate his political enemies, and has also been pushing the Turkish military out of politics altogether.
This latest “The Ergenekon Trial” ended a five year running saga over one military coup attempt, where sentencing began for almost 300 people including the popular General Basbug – all accused of belonging to an an anti-government secularist ring, for allegedly plotting to overthrow the government.
The interesting thing here is how the public support for the defendants – considered by many as political prisoners, only reinforces just how shaky the political ground under Erdogan’s feet really is.
Here is the BBC’s latest report on from Turkey…
Turkey Ergenekon case: Ex-army chief Basbug gets life
Turkey’s former armed forces chief has been jailed for life for plotting to overthrow the government, after five years of trials involving officers, lawyers, writers and journalists.
Gen Ilker Basbug was among dozens of people convicted of involvement in the so-called Ergenekon plot.
Critics of Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan have accused him of staging show trials to eliminate his enemies.
His supporters say the trials have pushed the military out of politics.
Gen Basbug, who led the military between 2008 and 2010, was among at least five generals to be jailed for life on Monday at a specially constructed courtroom west of Istanbul.
After the verdict, he wrote on his Twitter page: “Those on the side of the truth and righteous, that is on the side of justice, have a clear conscience. That is how I am.”
At least 21 people were acquitted, but dozens of others received lengthy sentences:
- Journalist Tuncay Ozkan, who helped organise a series of anti-government protests in 2007, was given a life sentence with an additional 16 years
- Mustafa Balbay, a journalist and MP with the main opposition Republican People’s Party (CHP), was sentenced to 34 years and eight months
- Lawyer Kemal Kerincsiz, famous for bringing cases against cultural figures accusing them of “anti-Turkishness”, was jailed for life
- Workers’ Party leader Dogu Perincek, whose party advocates a mixture of socialism and ultra-nationalism, was jailed for life

Relaxation techniques may worsen the symptoms of some people suffering from anxiety or depression due to a seemingly counterintuitive coping mechanism, new research suggests.
People with anxiety may resist relaxation and continue to worry in order to avoid being caught off guard if something bad does happen – a phenomenon dubbed "relaxation-induced anxiety", or RIA. Those who become anxious from relaxation may do so because they are fearful of becoming anxious and losing control of their anxiety responses.
It’s sort of like a person who suffers from allergies 365 days of the year. Then, one day that person wakes up without any symptoms. Instead of feeling positive and grateful, it evokes a feeling of “what is wrong with me?” as that person begins to worry about once again exhibiting histamine responses.
“People may be staying anxious to prevent a large shift in anxiety, but it’s actually healthier to let yourself experience those shifts,” said study author Michelle Newman, from Penn State University, in a statement. “The more you do it, the more you realize you can do it and it’s better to allow yourself to be relaxed at times. Mindfulness training and other interventions can help people let go and live in the moment.”
Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) is different than feeling anxious in that someone with the diagnosis experiences “excessive and controllable worry and anxiety about a broad range of negative events.” Relaxation typically decreases anxiety, physiological tension, and can curtail spirals of anxiety and worry. Writing in the Journal of Affective Disorders, the authors note that relaxation techniques are still better than not even though they may incite a temporary or occasional feeling of increased anxiety.
Though the specific cause of RIA is unknown, Newman and her team believe that it could be connected to contrast avoidance theory. This theory suggests that those with anxiety symptoms fear emotional shifts from neutral or positive emotions to negative states. As a precaution, incessant worry becomes a constant, unsurprising baseline that is used to avoid the risk of an uptick in emotion.
“The theory revolves around the idea that people may make themselves anxious intentionally as a way to avoid the letdown they might get if something bad were to happen,” Newman said. “This isn’t actually helpful and just makes you more miserable. But, because most of the things we worry about don’t end up happening, what's reinforced in the brain is, ‘I worried and it didn’t happen so I should continue worrying.’”
To test this, the researchers studied nearly 100 participants, about a third of those with GAD, a third with major depressive disorder (MDD), and the remaining with neither. MDD is a mood disorder related to anxiety defined as a persistent sense of sadness or loss of interest in normal activities, according to the Mayo Clinic. Researchers first led them through relaxation exercises before having them watch videos that may spur fear or sadness. Respondents were then asked to answer questions designed to measure how sensitive they were to changes in their emotional state. They were then asked to fill out a second survey designed to measure anxiety levels.
People with GAD are more sensitive to changes in negative emotions, such as going from a relaxed state to one of fear. Similar, though not as stark, results were seen in those with MDD.
The authors note the limitations of generalizing such findings, especially those that are subjective and self-reported. Given the short time intervals between the study phases, it is also difficult to determine whether symptoms of RIA were a lingering negative response to the videos or if feelings of anxiousness were directly related to relaxation techniques. Regardless, they say that their findings may help treat people with anxiety in the future.

Patna: In a shocking incident, a lawyer in Patna High Court threatened to jump from the roof of the court. The lawyer created a chaos in the compound of the Patna High Court and a huge crowd gathered to witness the high–voltage drama inside the court. The people who gathered in the court were trying to stop the lawyer from taking the extreme step. The incident was caught on camera and the video of the incident is doing rounds on social media.
It can be seen in the video that the man has climbed the ledge of the Patna High Court and a huge crowd has gathered inside the court premises. There are reports that the lawyer who attempted the suicide was behaving abnormally as he climbed the roof and threatened to jump. The people around him were asking him to come down and some also offered him a rope as they were trying to stop the man committing suicide.
Police did not arrive on the spot
There are reports that the local police did not arrive on the spot even after being informed about the commotion that took place inside the court premises. The lawyer created ruckus inside the court premises after a court case did not go in his favor. The court had ordered a settlement into the case, which the lawyer did not take positively and jumped out of the window and climbed the roof to attempt suicide.

An Exquisite Corpse is a method of illustration invented by Surrealists in the early 1910s, where each collaborator adds to a composition in sequence usually without seeing the prior portion. Upon reveal this rule to hide the previous sequences offers up an abstract and amusing portrait. Each student created a plaquette covered in neutral leather (we used Harmatan Terracotta and Brown goatskin) and also completed the “head” portion of the figure. The plaquette’s were about 18in x 6in; allowing each participant to cover a 6in square portion of the board.

Bacteria are becoming increasingly resistant to common antibiotics. Often, resistance is mediated by resistance genes, which can simply jump from one bacterial population to the next. It’s a common assumption that the resistance genes spread primarily when antibiotics are used, a rationale backed up by Darwin’s theory: only in cases where antibiotics are actually being used does a resistant bacterium have an advantage over other bacteria. In an antibiotic-free environment, resistant bacteria have no advantage. This explains why health experts are concerned about the excessive use of antibiotics and call for more restrictions on their use.
Article • Fighting infections
Multidrug-resistant organisms (MDRO) are keeping infection specialists worldwide on their toes. One of these specialists travelled all the way from Leipzig to India to gain insights in one of the sources of the problem.
However, a team of researchers led by scientists from ETH Zurich and the University of Basel have now discovered an additional, previously unknown mechanism that spreads resistance in intestinal bacteria that is independent of the use of antibiotics. “Restricting the use of antibiotics is important and the indeed the right thing to do, but this measure alone is not sufficient to prevent the spread of resistance,” says Médéric Diard, who until recently held a post at ETH Zurich and is now a professor at the Biozentrum of the University of Basel. He continues, “If you want to control the spread of resistance genes, you have to start with the resistant microorganisms themselves and prevent these from spreading through, say, more effective hygiene measures or vaccinations.” Diard led the research project together with Wolf-Dietrich Hardt, Professor for Microbiology at ETH Zurich.
Article • Measles
Globally, a trend of falling public trust in vaccines is alarming health officials and the World Health Organisation (WHO) lists vaccine hesitancy as one of the top 10 threats to global health. The UK’s Wellcome Trust 2018 Global Monitor – a survey of more than 140,000 people in over 140 countries – highlighted regions where confidence in vaccinations is lowest.
Persisters: Dangerous 'sleepers'
Persistent bacteria, also known as persisters, are responsible for this newly discovered resistance-spreading mechanism. Scientists have known for some time that, just like bacteria that carry resistance genes, persisters can survive antibiotic treatment. They fall into a temporary, dormant state and can reduce their metabolism to a minimum, which prevents the antibiotics from killing them. In the case of salmonella, the bacteria become dormant when they penetrate the body tissue from inside the gut. Once they have invaded the tissue, the persisters can live there undetected for months before awakening from their dormant state. If the conditions are conducive to bacterial survival, the infection can flare up again.
Even if the persisters don’t cause a new infection, they can still have an adverse effect. In salmonella, a combination of the two resistance mechanisms is common: persisters that also carry small DNA molecules (plasmids) containing resistance genes.
By exploiting their persistent host bacterium, the resistance plasmids can survive for a prolonged period in one host before transferring into other bacteria. This speeds up their spreadWolf-Dietrich Hardt
In experiments with mice, the researchers demonstrated that dormant salmonella in the gut can pass their resistance genes on to other individual bacteria of the same species and even to other species, such as E. coli from the normal intestinal flora. Their experiments showed that persisters are very efficient at sharing their resistance genes as soon as they awaken from their dormant state and encounter other bacteria that are susceptible to gene transfer. “By exploiting their persistent host bacterium, the resistance plasmids can survive for a prolonged period in one host before transferring into other bacteria. This speeds up their spread,” ETH professor Hardt explains. It’s important to note here that this transfer happens regardless of whether antibiotics are present or not.
The researchers now want to take their findings in mice and explore these more closely in livestock that frequently suffer from salmonella infections, such as pigs. The scientists also want to investigate whether it’s possible to control the spread of resistance in livestock populations with probiotics or with a vaccination against salmonella.

Top 5 Brunch Spots in Mississauga
Published December 13, 2014 at 2:44 am
They say breakfast is the most important meal of the day and I concur — especially weekend brunch. Brunch offers more than just the standard every day breakfast fare that typically serves to simply satisfy your morning hunger or take care of that hangover.
Brunch is about the experience. It’s a meal you tend to savour, enjoy with others and it’s something to look forward to on the weekends.
Here are the Top 5 brunch spots in Mississauga:
5 – Glenerin Inn
The Sunday brunch is an elaborate brunch buffet that runs from 11 am to 2 pm. You can dine on the items from the chef-manned carving station as well as homemade soups, roasted vegetables, the feature entree, staple breakfast items including bacon & sausage, Belgian waffles, a selection of smoked fish and seafood, salads, a variety of cheese, French pastries and desserts. There are five rooms with amazing views of the estate grounds and a ravine that lines the back of the property. Reservations are recommended, and you can request which room you’d like to have brunch in provided it is not being used for a private function.
The Breakwater Restaurant is located in the Waterside Inn, a boutique hotel situated in the south side of Mississauga in Port Credit. The airy and expansive dining room is a gorgeous space with high ceilings and majestic decor that pays homage to traditional fine dining and most certainly adds to the experience of Sunday brunch. There is a chef-manned carvery serving hand-carved prime cuts of meat, an omelette and waffle station, a hot lunch table, an antipasto bar and a dessert and pastry table. This takes Sunday brunch to the next level.
3 – Kravingz
Lissa and Damian are a husband and wife team who are self-proclaimed foodies and steadfast local supporters who love their community in Clarkson – an undiscovered area of the city which has a number of gems including theirs. The restaurant is known for its made-from-scratch menu which supports local suppliers. They source a number of the ingredients for their dishes from local bakeries and suppliers. The resto offers the Polski Benedict (potato placki is a Polish potato pancake served with smoked salmon or peameal bacon, poached eggs and house-made hollandaise), Chicken N’ Waffles (crispy fried chicken served with bacon and jalapeno waffles, bacon dressing and coleslaw) and The Islander (jerk corned beef hash, corn and cheddar grits and poached eggs) and more.
2 – Capra’s Kitchen
Look out Mississauga! Chef Massimo Capra and his signature ‘stache and big personality are in our city. Chef Massimo recently opened a restaurant called Capra’s Kitchen in his hometown of Mississauga in the former Villa La Bella space along Lakeshore Rd. in the Clarkson neighbourhood. Chef Massimo is an accomplished celebrity chef, TV personality, author and Saugaboy who has an extensive resume. Starting from the ground up, his career began when he first started toiling in kitchens in Italy. He made his way to Toronto in the early 80s and worked in a few notable fine dining establishments in the city. His brand new restaurant offers lunch, dinner and weekend brunch that features some eggs benny that are heavy on the porcetta. You also don’t want to miss the pancakes or French toast!
Recently, fans of Huevos Gourmet—an absolutely incredible Mexican breakfast and brunch restaurant—were stunned to hear that the restaurant was leaving its cozy Mimico location to relocate to parts unknown. Later, we rejoiced when we learned that Huevos Gourmet chose to relocate to Port Credit. The restaurant, which opened in Feb. 2020, took shape in the old Dunk n’ Dip location on Lakeshore Road East in the city’s east end—not terribly far from where it was located before. Along with huevos rancheros (which is made all the more special with a heaping helping of chorizo on top), the restaurant also serves a ton of Eggs Benedict dishes (including a Mexican Benedict), Mexican omelettes, breakfast burritos, crepes, French toast and more. The Mexican Benedict (available with regular and vegan chorizo) is absolutely to die for.

Oral airways, specifically an oral airway comprising a tubular body with a plate at one end thereof, the plate having perimeter walls defining resilient lips for releasably retaining an endotracheal tube.
An oral airway is used in medicine to provide an artificial passageway through the human mouth and into the beginning of the trachea. That is, oral airways are used by physicians and nurses to maintain gaseous communication between the lungs of a breathing patient and his environment. The use of oral airways prevents, for example, the tongue from blocking the air passage and preventing the patient from breathing.
Typical of the oral airways presently in use is that manufactured by Hudson Respiratory Care, Inc., 27711 Dias Road, Tomacula, Calif., 92589 as Model 1169. This particular oral airway is comprised of a substantially curved tubular body represented with a plate mounted at one end thereof. The general dimensions of this particular model oral airway may be appreciated from viewing FIG. 4.
Frequently, with Intensive Care Unit (ICU) patients or ventilator patients, endotracheal tubes are used in conjunction with oral airways. Endotracheal tubes are used to provide communication between the patient's external environment and the patient's lungs.
The use of oral airways such as the Hudson Respiratory Oral Airway with the endotracheal tube requires that the tube be taped to the oral airway twice at the same point just below the plate of the oral airway, in the manner illustrated in FIG. 4. That is, the two devices must be stabilized together with a first taping just below the flange plate as in FIG. 4. The second taping begins at the same location but extends around the patient's neck and back to the now unitized edotracheal tube/oral airway combination. The second taping maintains the position of the combination with respect to the carina, such that the distal end of the endotracheal tube stops 11/2 inches above the carina. It is the improved oral airway of the present invention that obviates the need for the first taping, stabilizing the two together yet providing the additional feature of walls to prevent side to side motion of the endotracheal tube with respect to the oral airway.
However, physicians and ICU nurses have long complained when having to use the oral airways in conjunction with the endotracheal tubes. The inability to effectively stabilize the two devices together with tape has resulted in excessive taping, dislodgement, sliding, or misplacement of the tubes. This is especially dangerous because it is important that the tube be properly positioned and maintained at about 11/2 inches above the carina. When the endotracheal tube is taped to the oral airway for stabilization, the tape also provides a warm and moist site conducive to the growth of bacteria and other pathogens. Moreover, the use of a tape to stabilize the endotracheal tube oral airway juncture in a moist environment such as the patient's mouth, provides a means for slippage when saliva from the patient lubricates the adhesive surface of the tape.
What is needed is a means for providing an oral airway that is quickly detachable (without the disadvantages of tape) to, and will securely maintain its position with, the endotracheal tube. This is especially important where time is critical, as with a patient in a crisis condition, and with ICU patients or ventilator patients.
Thus, what is needed is an oral airway that may be easily, quickly, securely, and without the aid of tools, capable of releasably attaching to an endotracheal tube.
It is the object of the present invention to provide for an oral airway capable of demountably attaching, without the use of tools, to an endotracheal tube.
It is another object of the present invention to provide for an oral airway made up of a curved tubular body with the plate at a first end thereof, the plate having a perimeter thereon with walls defining lips, the lips being resilient and dimensioned to releasably retain an endotracheal tube.
The objects of the present invention are provided for in an oral airway for providing fluid communication through a patient's mouth and into the patient's trachea. The oral airway is comprised of a tubular body having a near end and a removed end, the near end being comprised of a plate with an elliptical perimeter defining resilient lips with semicircular walls forming a C-shaped opening to releasably retain an endotracheal tube.
FIG. 1 illustrates a top elevational view of the oral airway of the present invention.
FIG. 2 illustrates a side elevational view of the oral airway of the present invention.
FIG. 3 illustrates in perspective view of the present invention and how it is fastened to the endotracheal tube.
FIG. 4 illustrates the prior art method of attaching an oral airway to the endotracheal tube using tape or other adhesives at two locations between the tube and the airway.
FIGS. 1 and 2 illustrate a top and side elevational view of the general shape of oral airway (10) of Applicant's present invention. More specifically, FIGS. 1 and 2 illustrate oral airway (10) having an arcuate body (12) with a near end (14) and a removed end (16). Near end (14) defines a first opening (18); and removed end (16) defines a second opening (20). Arcuate body (12) is hollow, providing fluid communication between first opening (18) and second opening (20). Integral with first opening (18) at near end (14) is flange plate (22). As can be seen in FIGS. 1 and 2, flange plate (22) is further comprised of top surface (24) and bottom surface (26), the top surface (24) and bottom surface (26) being joined at outer perimeter walls (28).
As is appreciated from FIG. 1, outer perimeter walls (28) define first attachment means (30) and second attachment means (32), the attachment means being similarly dimensioned and having perimeter clamp walls (34) joining outer perimeter walls (28) to define lips (36). Thus, first (30) and second (32) attachment means provide for walls defining a C-shaped opening dimensioned to enclosingly grasp an endotracheal tube inserted therethrough.
As can be seen in FIGS. 1 and 2, the shape of oral airway body (12) is arcuate, providing a shallow bend that generally describes the curvature of the upper throat. Flange plate (22) is flat and joined with near end (14) perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of first opening (18). Flange plate (22) serves to prevent oral airway (10) from entering the patient's throat, and is normally mounted flush with the patient's lips to provide a passageway for air or fluids moving through first opening (18) and second opening (20).
As can be appreciated from FIG. 1, the physical dimensions of plate (22) are varied to generally meet the needs of the patient. The dimensions are sized to fit neonatal, infant, child and adult patients. As can be further appreciated in FIG. 1, the cross-section of arcuate body (12), first opening (18) and second opening (20), as well as flange plate (22) is oval. At the two removed apexes of oval flange plate (22) can be found lips (36). The distance between each oppositely disposed pair (dimension A in FIG. 1) should be less than the outside diameter of endotracheal tube (38) (see FIG. 3) such that it "snaps" on as illustrated in FIG. 3. More specifically, the dimensions B as illustrated in FIG. 3 signifies the outer diameter of endotracheal tube (38) which are typically in the range 2.0 to 9.0 millimeters. The radius of curvature of the C-shaped openings defined by perimeter clamp walls (34) and outer perimeter walls (28) to form first and second attachment means (30) and (32), respectively, should be about the same as or just slightly less than one-half the diameter described by dimension B in FIG. 3, that being the outside diameter of endotracheal tube (38). Attachment means (30) and (32) may have the same radius of curvature or one may be larger than the other. In any case, attachment means (30) and (32) cannot in anyway obstruct or pinch endotracheal tube (38). Moreover, it can be appreciated from viewing FIG. 3 that lips (36) should have a linear distance between them that is less than the outside diameter B and also that the lips, and indeed plate (22), should preferably be made of a resilient material (such as plastic) to allow a "snap fit" with endotracheal tube (38) sliding into first attachment means (30) or (32), depending upon which side the nurse intends to use and provide sufficient tension between perimeter clamp walls (34) and outer surface (40) of endotracheal tube (38) so as to help impede relative motion between endotracheal tube (38) and oral airway (10).
FIG. 3 illustrates the use of oral airway (10) of the present invention. More particularly FIG. 3 illustrates oral airway (10) of the present invention attached to endotracheal tube (38) at lips (36). At a second location along the endotracheal tube/oral airway combination, and below flange plate (22) the two are joined, by tape or other suitable adhesive as indicated at (42). Thus, by use of attachment means (30) or (32) at the near end of oral airway (10) in conjunction with adhesive at second location (42) below flange plate (22) a device the present invention that obviates the need to tape twice, once to connect the endotracheal tube with the oral airway and once to maintain the tubes in the mouth by taping around both tubes (endotracheal and oral airway) and then around the patient's neck. Both tapings are at the same location as illustrated in FIG. 4 (prior art) and prevents the slippage associated with the prior art by providing lips (36) and perimeter clamp walls (34) to prevent any side-to-side movement of endotracheal tube (38) around the perimeter of the oral airway.
Thus, the device of the present invention describes an oral airway for providing fluid communication through a patient's mouth and into the patient's trachea. The oral airway is comprised of a tubular body having a near end and a removed end, the near end being comprised of a plate with an elliptical perimeter defining resilient lips with semicircular walls forming a C-shaped opening to releasably retain an endotracheal tube.

Bob Parsons writing own rules at Scottsdale National as 40% of membership leaves
Send this story to a friend
Roughly 40 percent of the Scottsdale National Golf Club membership -- 65 people -- opted to take owner Bob Parsons’ “resignation opportunity” by the Jan. 31 deadline. And now, some of the new rules that likely prompted them to leave have been rescinded for those members who opted to stay.
The billionaire GoDaddy founder sent out a letter to the remaining 96 members this week, saying the new golf limit (30 rounds per year, unless accompanied by a guest) was being eliminated.
As outlined in a previous letter, the new $100 service fee for every time a member uses the club is also being cut in half. It will remain at $200 for guests.
Additionally, Parsons knocked off $100 from members’ monthly dues, bringing the figure to $750.
The 65 members who resigned are being refunded their initiation fees in full. That’s $110,000 for earlier members, or $25,000 for those who joined in recent years. The club’s previous owner, Crown Golf Properties LP, had dropped the initiation fee in an attempt to lure more members.
“Membership in Scottsdale National will continue to be by unsolicited invitation only,” Parsons wrote in the letter. “At present membership is closed, as such and until further notice we will not be inviting new members.”
During my interview last week, Parsons said he was unsure how many more members would be invited. Such a number, he said, would largely depend on what the initiation fees will be moving forward, which is also undetermined.
The new perks for the current members comes after Parsons’ abrasive letter in early December went viral among the nation’s golf community.
“I know I get a lot of criticism for my letter. I get a lot of criticism all the time so I’m used to it,” Parsons told me last week.

Leftist demonstrators who set up camp outside the Supreme Court building were intent on protesting whoever President Donald Trump nominated to fill the seat of late Justice Antonin Scalia, a Republican senator said.
Nebraska Sen. Ben Sasse said he went to the site and discovered what he called a “Mad-Lib protest.”
Trump on Jan. 31 nominated Judge Neil Gorsuch to be a Supreme Court associate justice.
Sasse tweeted: “Went to the Supreme Court to talk to the protesters. But it turns out to be a Mad-Lib protest. #Fill-In-The-Blank,” and added a picture reading, “Stop Gorsuch.”
The sign only had the word “Stop” printed on it, with “Gorsuch” added, after his name was announced, in marker.
Sasse then tweeted, “By the way, protesters- Among those who were in the Senate when Gorsuch was last unanimously confirmed: *Obama *Biden *Clinton & *Schumer.”
Meanwhile, a Democratic senator who scolded Republicans for considering a filibuster of an Obama nominee to the Supreme Court, now says he won’t rule out a filibuster of Trump’s nominee.
Sen. Dick Durbin of Illinois, the No. 2 Democrat in the Senate, said on Fox News Sunday that he would not oppose a “mainstream” nominee but would not rule out a filibuster of one who is “too extreme on the right.”
“Let me just say, I’m not going to jump ahead and tell you how I’m going to treat any nominee until I know who they are, what they stand for,” Durbin said. “What we’ve said is that if you’ll bring us a moderate nominee and I told the White House this directly, one that is not too extreme on the right, on the left you won’t run into controversy.”
When pressed by host Chris Wallace, the senator declined to renounce the filibuster.
In the early days of the Obama administration, Durbin argued that filibustering Supreme Court nominees goes against Senate practice.
“Historically, Supreme Court justices have never been filibustered, and I would hope they would not consider that,” he told reporters in May, 2009, several weeks before former President Barack Obama nominated Sonia Sotomayor to succeed Justice David Souter.
The Senate has only successfully filibustered one Supreme Court nominee. President Lyndon Johnson attempted to appoint Justice Abe Fortas as chief justice after Earl Warren announced his retirement in 1968. The nomination was blocked by a bipartisan coalition of senators wary of Fortas’s relationship with Johnson, and troubled by rumors of an ethics scandal. He resigned the bench in disgrace a year later.
Democratic Sen. Jeff Merkley told reporters on Jan. 30 that he would filibuster any nominee put forward by Trump, except Judge Merrick Garland, who Obama nominated last year. Merkley claims most of the Democratic caucus will join him in the effort.

I need to create a tetrahedral lattice infill within a hemispherical cup. I looked into several methods of doing so and intralattice was working well in creating a model with uniform porosity.
The main problem is that I need to vary the strut thickness radially and from the pole to the equator. I’ve tried using heterogen gradient and heterogen custom but the options available there were too limited and I can’t get the spherical grading type in preset gradient to work.
Do you have any advice for using this specific tool, and are there any other plug-in’s or methods that could be used along with intralattice to achieve the result of a graded density?
Thank you. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
intra_t4.gh (45.2 KB)
thic sentence is not clear "
If it is radial, it means from center to exterior. Pole to equator means for me the axe Z.
Here a solution that use a quad mesh in order to have oriented struts Radially.
there is also a variation of radius along Z axis
Thank you so much for your help! I was able to create a gradient along z axis as intended.
Is it possible to feed an array of strut radius into volume to points, so that the radius is set of custom values which follow a user defined function?
intra_z_gradation.gh (165.3 KB)
With Dendro I don’t know better way than making a radius per point.
For sure there could be different function for each strut and after these function applied to the points of the strut.
You could use a graph mapper for changing the radius depending on the height, it could be a function …
Radius Of point = f(x,y,z)
Radius Of point = f(strut number, x,y,z)
Meshing the struts could also be an option. Join the mesh before using Dendro it is more efficient to have one mesh than multiple meshes. In Rhino/Grasshopper one mesh could be made of multiple closed meshes.
What have you in mind? What kind of function? There is quite no limitations. The only one will be to provide a radius that is more than 3 * the voxel size.
I was thinking whether it was possible to feed a table of strut radius corresponding to each point, from an external source (for eg. a .csv file) into volume to points.
The columns of the table are x, y, z, strut radius. These radius values are obtained based on optimization method.
For sure it is possible. You’ll find many scripts to read csv on this forum or old forum.
If you post an example somebody will surely help you.
Thanks a lot for your help!!
Could you please help me with converting the volume obtained using dendro to a mesh? I tried exporting to stl after baking the geometry but I’m not getting the adjust mesh option in stl export options dialog box.
Is it possible to change the mesh settings before baking the geometry as I noticed the baked model has a much finer refinement than necessary.
Thank you. Any help would be appreciated.
You can change the settings to some extend. It seems that the Voxel size has no effects. You have to chose a Voxel size adapted to the geometry you want.
But the adaptivity has effects
This mesh could also be remeshed in Rhino. It must be done before the STL saving.
I am trying to create a shell at the inner surface of the hemisphere and trim the part of lattice protruding the shell.
I created a boundary volume using 3 surfaces (2 revolved and one ruled surface) and then used mesh brep to get the mesh. I want to join the lattice reduced mesh and the shell into a single mesh and then use mesh boolean difference to trim the mesh using the inner surface of the hemisphere.
Both the mesh union and mesh boolean difference command in rhino are taking a lot of time. Is there a faster method to do this?
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!
You can use Dendro to make union difference addition smoothing …
Volume difference worked! Thank you so much!
I noticed that the model has 3 separate mesh (one for the inner thin body and 2 meshes (one open and one closed) in the lattice structure. This is creating some problems in the analysis of the model.
In materialise mimics software I noticed that the volume of the open and closed shells within the lattice structure are significant and hence cannot be deleted.
Could you help me with why this is happening? The problem is that it’s showing a single mesh in rhino but when I import the model into an analysis software, it’s 3 meshes.
Hard to help without any file. But it is important to know that in dendro if there is differents volumes there are not merged until you use the Union volume tool. So it is important :
- To flatten data (list)
- For the input mesh it why I use join mesh in order to have a single mesh (that doesn’t mean it is a single solid) but Dendro will merge everything
- When you convert Volume to mesh use the disjoin mesh of Grasshopper so you’ll probably see many independent meshes.

Whats the Best Natural Organic Pet Drops ?
If you are already a convert to the organic food way of life then you will already know the major benefits of eating this way:
Meat, fruit and vegetables free of chemical pesticides which can number up to 20 different types in ordinary produce; Higher concentrations of vitamins, minerals and fibre;
Cheap CBD Pet [categories]
A much improved taste experience making eating more enjoyable and you feeling more alive and healthy than before. If you are enjoying these benefits then is it not time you offered them to your pets? Just in the same way we can opt for organic food, now you can offer a range to your pets for their approval.
What Organic Pet Drops Is Available?
Taking a look around the internet you will readily see offerings for organic dog food and also, maybe to a lesser extent, organic cat food. Several suppliers are very active in organic pet foods and typically this is what they have to offer: All organic pet food products are made with human grade organic ingredients which can include: chicken and other meats, organic cereals and organic rice as well as organic vegetables.
It is stated on one site that the ingredients are exactly the grade of food that you as a human would not hesitate in consuming. After some searching you will find that what you already buy for your pet will probably be available in an organic form of some description.
Typical products available are:
Tinned organic dog food, organic kibble organic dog treats, tinned organic cat food, there is even a company that is offering organic canine cookies.However, do not be tempted to get carried away with the treats just because they are organic, remember that moderation is advised and always read the product labels.
Many of these foods are also hypo-allergenic and gluten free, meaning that if your pet is suffering from allergy or digestive problems then there may just be an organic pet food solution out there that will help ease its suffering.
CBD Pet Drops
The ingredients list on the label is where the pet owner makes up his or her mind about whether they like what they read. Those who do or do not want to feed a certain ingredient can look to make sure it is included or excluded.
Some prefer to say no to animal by-products, which may contain heads, feet, viscera and other animal parts not particularly appetizing, and from various species. But protein quality of by-products can actually be quite good, so that may not necessarily be the main bone of contention.
Meat and animal derivatives - sounds tasty, doesn't it? This tends to be seen as an ingredient at the cheaper end of the pet food market, and as a source of protein. In the UK Meat and animal derivatives are legally defined in the Feeding Stuffs Regulations 2005. They are sourced from animals which have been inspected and passed as fit for human consumption and are the parts of the animal which are surplus to the requirements of the human food industry in the UK eg. heart, lung, or muscle meat, which may not be traditionally eaten by people in this country.
Cereal by-products - Headlines such as 'May 4, 2007 -- Cereal Byproducts Company is announcing today that the FDA has determined that there are melamine and/or melamine derivatives in the rice protein concentrate produced by a single source Chinese supplier' do nothing to give confidence to consumers!
Cereal by-products, a cheap source of carbohydrate and vegetable protein by their name and definition are 'by-products' of the human food industry, not usable for human food and could come via bakery/breakfast cereal or similar production. They will possibly be mixed sources of cereal, and may be lower grade than the straight cereals used in premium brands.
Meat Meal is another ingredient that some pet owners don't like the sound of. By-products of the human food chain (carcases with some meat protein remaining) are rendered (heat processed), which removes the fat and water from the product. Meat or poultry meal can contain parts of animals not normally eaten by people. You probably don't want a detailed description (if you do try this one at Wikipedia!)
Suffice to say, this is a huge business converting waste animal tissue into stable, value-added materials for several industries as well as for pet food.
The article from Wikipedia interestingly points out that rendering is one of the oldest stablished recycling processes - taking what would otherwise be waste materials and makes useful products such as fuels, soaps, rubber, plastics, etc. At the same time, rendering solves what would otherwise be a major disposal problem. As an example, the US recycles more than 21 million metric tons annually of highly perishable and noxious organic matter. In 2004, the U.S. industry produced over 8 million metric tons of products, of which 1.6 million metric tons were exported.... food for thought, perhaps!
The UK Pet Food Manufacturers Association (PFMA) states that it uses those parts of the carcass which are either surplus to human requirements or which are not normally consumed by people in the UK. Companies which are members of the PFMA operate their own quality assurance policies including strict specifications for material supplies, routine testing of all incoming materials and the use of vendor assurance schemes (and audits) to monitor their suppliers. The British pet food industry also uses sources of meat and meal from the UK, USA Canada, Australasia and various European countries. All materials imported must comply with the strict British legislation.
UK manufacturers only use materials from animals which are generally accepted in the human food chain. They do not use horsemeat, whales or other sea mammals, kangaroos or a number of other species not eaten by humans. It does use beef, lamb, poultry, pork, fish, shellfish, rabbit and game. The PFMA practice of only using materials derived from animals passed as fit for human consumption is now incorporated into the Animal By-Products Order and PFMA member companies using animal material derived from the UK are recommended to only buy from and sell to companies registered under the Animal By-Products Order.
When looking at an ingredient list, a pet owner also has to decide whether or not their pet has an intolerance to a cereal or protein type -this seems to be a growing problem.
Some consumers try to avoid pet foods with synthetic preservatives, such asbutylated hydroxyanisole (BHA), butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT), and ethoxyquin. Ethoxyquin, in particular, has been hotly debated. Current scientific data suggest that ethoxyquin is safe, but some pet owners avoid this additive because of a suspected link to liver damage and other health problems in dogs.
The Natural Alternative
Many products today are preserved with naturally occurring compounds, such as tocopherols (vitamin E) or vitamin C. However, these products generally have a shorter shelf life than those with synthetic preservatives, especially once a bag of food is opened.
Comparing foods with different ingredients is difficult. Take protein content for example. Let's say we have two foods which have the same percentages of protein, fat, carbohydrates, fiber and moisture. But one protein or carbohydrate type may be more digestible than another, so that complicates our comparison. For example:-
Food A contains 25% protein that is 60% digestible and food B contains 25% protein that is 85% digestible. That means of food A the body is able to utilize 15% of the protein content, but of food B 21.25%. Logically, to meet the body's requirement of protein, you'd have to feed more of food A than of food B, and the body of the dog eating food B will have to work less to utilize it.
Meats such as poultry, fish and pork all have a high digestibility, as do cereals such as rice and corn. Wheat, soya and oats are less digestible and logically therefore you would have to feed more to get the same nutritional benefits.
Although manufacturers are happy to tell you that the meat they use is human grade and comes from the human food chain, let's be clear that this is not the best fillet steak or free range chicken breast. Meat producers make as much as possible producing for the human market, because it is more profitable- what is left is what you would probably not want to buy if it was put for sale in the butchers or supermarket!
CBD Oil Dog Drops
Many people think that a dog treat is just a treat, but many don't realize nutritional harm or good, some of these treats offer. Ideally, a healthy treat should contain a variety of naturally occurring nutrients, and not a lot of empty ingredients or, low quality vitamins and minerals, often added as supplements to conventional pet foods and treats. Learn about the benefits of using organic dog treats and give your pet good health and yourself, peace of mind.
The food you feed your dog is the single most important factor affecting his or her health. Organic dog treats provide more than merely calories for your dog. Aside from energy, healthy treats should provide an appropriate amount of protein, fats, carbohydrates, and nutrients. The quality of the ingredients used in a given pet food, determines how much nutrition your dog receives. The healthiest ingredients are often labeled USDA certified organic. These foods contain much higher levels of nutrients, such as vitamins, antioxidants, and minerals, than non-certified organic or conventional ingredients. Foods which contain organic ingredients supply your dog with nutrients that are important for both, maintenance of health and proper healing after injuries.
It is a fact that USDA certified organic ingredients contain significantly lower amounts of pesticide residues, as well as other potentially toxic chemicals, which sometimes accumulate during their production. Another reason the healthiest dog treats are USDA certified organic, is that organic regulations prohibit the use of ingredients that cannot be traced to their source, or those that were genetically modified. Organic certification excludes the use of inferior or questionable ingredients, such as by-products, as well as the use of potentially toxic synthetic ingredients.
A truly healthy dog treat should contain certified organic ingredients. This assures that the quality of the ingredients are good and free of hormones and antibiotics. The best dog treats should contain only those animal-derived ingredients from animals that were humanely raised and grown. This assures that the animal components used are free of external toxins or hormones released during a stressful life on a manufacturing farm or just prior to slaughter, either of which can negatively impact your pet's health.
Like most organic products, organic dog treats may cost a little more than the average treat. However, organic treats are much healthier and well worth the extra cost.
