Principal Proposed Uses
Other Proposed Uses
The oak tree, respected for millennia as a source of strong, dense wood, also has a considerable tradition of medicinal use. The astringent, tannin-rich bark of the oak tree has been recommended for such diverse conditions as internal hemorrhage, diarrhea, dysentery, cancer, and pneumonia.
What is Oak Bark Used for Today?
Currently, Germany's Commission E recommends oak bark internally for treatment of diarrhea and topically for sore throat , mouth sores , hemorrhoids , and eczema . However, there is no meaningful scientific evidence that oak bark offers any therapeutic benefit in these or any other conditions. Only double-blind , placebo-controlled studies can prove a treatment effective, and none have been performed on oak bark. (For more information on why such studies are essential, see Why Does This Database Rely on Double-blind Studies?)
Oak bark contains numerous substances in the tannin family, especially ellagitannin, 1 along with potentially active substances in the saponin family. 2 Tannins are thought to have an astringent effect, meaning that they reduce tissue swelling and stop bleeding, and they are traditionally thought to be useful for diarrhea. However, oak bark has never been studied as a treatment for diarrhea. Saponins are often said to act as expectorants, enhancing the ability to cough up phlegm. Again, however, there is no direct evidence that oak bark is useful for coughs or related conditions.
Very weak evidence (too weak to be relied upon at all) hints that oak bark may have value for kidney stones , possibly reducing pain and slowing stone growth. 3 In addition, test-tube studies indicate that oak bark solutions applied topically might have activity against various microorganisms, including staphylococcus, 4-6 and might also exert cancer-preventive effects. 7 However, it is a long way from such studies to actual evidence of clinical benefit.
A typical oral dose of oak bark is 1 gram three times daily. 8 For application as a treatment for eczema, an oak bark tea is made by boiling 1–2 tablespoons of the bark for 20 minutes in 2 cups of water, and this is applied to the rash three to five times daily. Oak tinctures and extracts should be used according to label instructions.
Safety Issues
Although comprehensive safety testing has not been performed, use of oak bark is not generally associated with any side effects other than the occasional digestive upset or allergic reaction. Safety in young children, pregnant or nursing women, or people with severe liver or kidney disease has not been established.

Principal Proposed Uses
Other Proposed Uses
The green-lipped mussel, a common appetizer in sushi restaurants, contains healthy fats in the omega-3 family. Like fish oil , another source of omega-3 fatty acids, green-lipped mussel has shown some promise for reducing inflammation. 1 Inflammation is the cause of symptoms in numerous illnesses, ranging from arthritis to asthma. On this basis green-lipped mussel has been promoted as a treatment for these conditions. However, the evidence that it provides any meaningful benefits remains highly preliminary.
Therapeutic Uses
There are two major forms of arthritis: osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis . Rheumatoid arthritis is primarily a disease of inflammation, and the anti-inflammatory omega-3 fatty acids found in fish oil have been successfully used to treat it. 2 Inflammation plays a relatively less important role in osteoarthritis. However, green-lipped mussel has been tried for both conditions, with, at present, inconclusive results.
Unlike standard NSAIDs , which harm the stomach wall, green-lipped mussel might actually help prevent ulcers . 3
Green lipped mussel has also shown some promise for asthma .
What Is the Scientific Evidence for Green-Lipped Mussel?
The evidence regarding use of green-lipped mussel for arthritis remains weak and inconsistent. 16
Several animal studies performed by a single research group have reported that green-lipped mussel reduces symptoms of osteoarthritis. 4-6,17 However, the results from human studies remains inconsistent. Of five reported controlled studies of green-lipped mussel for osteoarthritis, two found benefit. 7-13,16
In an 8-week, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of 46 people with allergic asthma, those who received a green-lipped mussel extract showed some improvement in wheezing and peak flow of air. 14
Therapeutic Dosages
A typical dose of green-lipped mussel is about 200 mg per day of the lipid extract or 1,000 mg per day of the freeze-dried powder.
Safety Issues
In studies, green-lipped mussel has not caused much in the way of side effects other than occasional mild digestive distress. People with shellfish allergies, however, should avoid green-lipped mussel.
Unlike oysters, green-lipped mussel does not appear to contain heavy metals. 15

HOLLISTON - In nearly three decades of service to the Holliston Police Department, Lt. Shawn Moore helped build a new station, get the department accredited and put more police officers on the road by developing a civilian dispatch system.
�He did nothing short of amazing work for us here,� said Police Chief John Moore on Sunday.
Lt. Moore died on Friday at age 52 after a year-long battle with cancer. He was a member of the Holliston Police Department for 29 years and a veteran of the U.S. Air Force.
For Chief Moore, the lieutenant's death means more than the loss of a colleague. He also lost a cousin.
�He was close friend, a close relative and a close associate,� said Moore.
The cousins were the same age. They grew up down the street from each other and ended up working side by side.
Moore was a lieutenant for 18 months. Even as an officer, he was seen as a leader by his colleagues.
Lt. Dave Gatchell was trained by Moore when he joined the force 26 years ago.
�He had ideas, put them into place, and moved quickly to get those ideas implemented,� said Gatchell on Sunday. �There�s not too many like him.�
Gatchell recalled a trip he and Moore took to Washington, D.C., with a some other officers for Police Memorial Week a few years ago.
�It was just a great time had by all. He�s going to be sorely missed.�
Friends, family and neighbors lined up outside Chesmore Funeral Home in Holliston for Moore�s wake on Sunday afternoon to pay their respects.
�He was just a wonderful family man. I know he was highly regarded within the force,� said Sheila Todd of Uxbridge, a family friend.
Moore's family has created a scholarship in his name for high school students pursuing a career in criminal justice and policing, according to the Holliston Police Department's Facebook page.
"(Moore) and his family were extremely proud of all he had done to make Holliston a great community to live and work in, but clearly one of Shawn�s most prized achievements was his education," says the Facebook post.
People can donate to the scholarship fund at the police station on 550 Washington St.
A funeral Mass will be held today at 10:30 a.m. at St. Mary's Church of Holliston. Private cemetery services will be held at a later date.
Anamika Roy can be reached at 508-626-3957 or firstname.lastname@example.com. Follow her on Twitter @anamikaroy.

What: Carmine (CI 75470) is an aluminum and calcium salt of carminic acid. It is one of the most ancient natural dyes, derived from the shells of the female insect Coccus Cacti. It is commonly used to achieve bright reds and pinks in lipsticks. Coal tar based colorants, the synthetic alternatives to Carmine, can irritate lips, dry lips out and thus are very problematic.
Origin: Carmine may be prepared from cochineal, by boiling dried insects in water to extract the carminic acid and then treating the clear solution with alum, cream of tartar, stannous chloride, or potassium hydrogen oxalate; the coloring and animal matters present in the liquid are thus precipitated. Other methods are in use in which egg white, fish glue, or gelatine are sometimes added before the precipitation. The pigment can also be extracted from various microbes engineered for the purpose. (Wiki).
Alternative Names: Cochineal, Carmine, Carminic acid (E120) m Kariteöl, Unverseifbarer Anteil, 75470
Products Found In: Carmine (CI 75470) is used in nail polishes, lipsticks, eye liners, lip liners, lip glosses, blushes, eye shadows, facial powders and lip balms (EWG).
Toxicity: Carmine (CI 75470) is generally classified as non-toxic or harmful by a diverse source of expertise (EWG).

Sight Alignment
Sight alignment is the process of lining up rear and front sights. The sight picture is the image you see when the sights are aligned correctly with the target. To ensure that the bullet will travel to the target in your sight, it's necessary to sight-in your rifle. Before you can do that, you need to determine your dominant or "master" eye.

Their master
A house-elf is a self-abusive magical creature which is devoted and loyal to the one designated as their master. They serve wizards and witches and are usually found under the employment of old wizarding families taking residence in elaborate establishments, like mansions, and must do everything that their masters command unless they are freed. A house-elf can only be freed when their master presents them with clothes.
- "Fight, fight for my master, the defender of the house-elves! Fight for master Regulus! Fight!"
- —Kreacher leading the house-elves during the Battle of Hogwarts[src]
All house-elves have their own brand of powerful magic, which allows them to perform tasks, such as Apparating, where wizards and witches cannot.[2] More than just a mere housekeeper, a house-elf is a ruthless protector of their master, and will attack threats and enemies with great fury and strength and without even a moment's hesitation. In 1993, Dobby protected Harry Potter by using his magic to throw his former master, Lucius Malfoy, across the floor. However this is limited by their lack of wands, a fact that is shared with all non-human magical beings. However, unlike most magical beings, the house-elf is actually quite happy not to own a wand, as almost all house-elves never require one for the type of magic they perform (mostly domestic spells and Apparition). Apart from that, house-elves usually have to obtain permission from their masters before they could use their own brand of magic, as doing so without their consent would be treated as a sign of transgression, leading to the house-elf in question to apply self-inflicted injury upon himself or herself.
It is implied that with a wand and the proper knowledge, house-elves may be able to do other magic, as Winky was accused of using the Morsmordre spell to conjure the Dark Mark in the sky, though it was it was in fact cast by Bartemius Crouch Jr. Bartemius Crouch Sr. stated that Amos Diggory was implying that "I routinely teach my servants to conjure the Dark Mark," suggesting that it would have been possible for Winky to use the spell if she had the knowledge.[3]
- —Sirius Black's fateful order to Kreacher.[src]
A house-elf must obey any commands given to them by their masters. At times, they seem to desire to disobey these orders, but as their master's orders are "the house-elf's highest law", they cannot. However, a house-elf may find loopholes within their master's or mistress's orders. For example, despite his loathing for Sirius Black, Kreacher could not disobey his direct orders. However, when Sirius yelled at him to "get out", which he meant to get out of the kitchen, Kreacher was able to interpret the command in a way that enabled him to leave number 12 Grimmauld Place and go to Sirius' cousins, Narcissa Malfoy and Bellatrix Lestrange. Also, during the 1996–1997 school year, Harry Potter ordered Kreacher to follow Draco Malfoy in order to find out what he was doing and where he was going, and carefully phrased his command to prevent Kreacher from contacting or alerting Draco. Kreacher, still reluctant to be owned by Harry, was unable to find a loophole in the orders about contacting Draco, but instead merely told Harry only about Draco's mundane daily activities.
- Albus Dumbledore: "Give him an order. If he has passed into your ownership, he will have to obey. If not, then we shall have to think of some other means of keeping him from his rightful mistress."
- Kreacher: "Won't, won't, won't, WON'T!"
- Harry Potter: "Kreacher, SHUT UP!"
- — Harry Potter, Albus Dumbledore and Kreacher.[src]
The house-elf is so intensely loyal to their master that they will not allow themselves to be set free unless the master presents them with clothes. To symbolise this, they usually wear makeshift clothes made with found objects such as pillowcases and rags.[4] These clothes can become quite filthy, and yet the house-elf will not clean their clothes to further express they have no needs which are not specifically commanded to them by the master. House-elves will torture and maim themselves if they think it will please the master (or to punish themselves.)
House-elves not only serve one specific master, but the whole family of the master and whoever the house-elf is ordered by the master to serve. When Sirius Black was killed in 1996, Harry Potter inherited the House of Black's servant Kreacher.[2] At first they didn't even get along, because Kreacher considered his masters to be the House of Black. However, in due time Kreacher formed a fierce loyalty to Harry after Harry began to treat Kreacher with respect.[5]
House-elves are bound by magic to obey their masters' every command, but if the masters are cruel to the house-elves, then the elves would only obey their orders just enough to avoid breaking these magical binds. For example, when Harry Potter sent Kreacher on a mission to spy on Draco Malfoy, Kreacher did spy on him, but did not take note of any suspicious activity like Dobby did, instead noting only Draco's mundane activities such as eating and sleeping. However, one year later, Harry started being nicer to Kreacher at Hermione Granger's pleading, leading to much smoother compliance with Harry's orders.
Despite the seemingly horrid lifestyle that house-elves endure, house-elves seem to actually enjoy being enslaved. With few exceptions (Dobby being one of them), house-elves will feel insulted if their master attempts to pay them, give them pensions, or reward their service with anything except kindness. In 1995, when Hermione Granger began hiding clothes in Gryffindor Tower in an attempt to free the house-elves of Hogwarts, the house-elves felt rather insulted, and everyone except Dobby refused to clean the Gryffindor common room in protest.
Despite Hogwarts having had a large number of house-elves for centuries, it was only in their fourth year that Harry, Ron, and Hermione (rather shockingly) discovered their existence at Hogwarts, which happened inadvertently when the ghost of Sir Nicholas casually mentioned them being scared by Peeves the Poltergeist's tantrums. Sir Nicholas explained to them that the house-elves work in hiding, and it is considered the mark of a good house-elf that he or she does all the work but his/her existence is not even noticed.
It should be noted, however, that there are elements of coercion in some house-elves' loyalty. Kreacher disliked Sirius Black even when he was his master, and helped to sabotage Sirius by assisting Bellatrix Lestrange and Narcissa Malfoy, though this may have been easier for him since both witches had been born Blacks. Albus Dumbledore described Kreacher as "forced to do Sirius's bidding, because Sirius was the last of the family to which he was enslaved, but he felt no true loyalty to him".[6] Kreacher also initially despised serving Harry, only coming to be willingly loyal to him after Harry showed him kindness and respect and pointed out that by cooperating with him and his friends, Kreacher would be honouring the dying actions of Regulus Black, the late master he was very fond of. Hermione Granger pointed out that Kreacher was accustomed to "bad, even brutal treatment" and that he was "loyal to people who are kind to him".[5]
The house-elves of the House of Black were, in old age, beheaded and their heads were sickeningly stuffed and mounted on the house walls. This was, no doubt, considered by the house-elves as the very highest honour.
Winky was absolutely loyal to the Crouch family, and when she was dismissed for failure to keep Crouch Jr. under control, she suffered a mental breakdown, thinking that her release was the ultimate disgrace to her family.
While some house-elves were treated abysmally by their masters, some were genuinely loved and cared for. Some wizards treated their house-elves like adored pets or dolls, lavishing praise on them for doing their duties.
- "Kreacher is what he has been made by wizards, Harry. Yes, he is to be pitied. His existence has been as miserable as your friend Dobby's. He was forced to do Sirius's bidding, because Sirius was the last of the family to which he was enslaved, but he felt no true loyalty to him. And whatever Kreacher's faults, it must be admitted that Sirius did nothing to make Kreacher's lot easier."
- —Albus Dumbledore on Kreacher.[src]
In the past, house-elves have been treated very brutally by their owners. House-elves have no rights of their own and are looked on by wizarding societies as mere servants; they are often made patsies for the crimes of wizards. Even the government did not seem to care much for house-elves in the late 20th century; guidelines on house-elf welfare existed at least in 1996, but the Ministry did not enforce said guidelines.
For instance, Kreacher had to sleep in a cupboard near a kettle, where he made himself a den and was given no attention while Sirius Black was his master.
The house-elf Hokey was framed for the murder of Hepzibah Smith. She had not the self-worth or pride to defend herself from the charge and simply acknowledged the possibility of mistakenly giving her mistress poison.[2]
The house-elf Dobby was so mistreated and under appreciated by the Malfoy family that he independently sought out the aid and protection of Harry Potter in 1992.[4] Dobby insisted his higher duty was to protect Harry, even though Lucius Malfoy was the individual who perpetuated the danger at that time. When Dobby was freed, he ever after considered the service of Harry as his mission in life. In 1998, Dobby was slain by Bellatrix Lestrange in the act of protecting Harry's life.[5] Voldemort forced Kreacher to drink the potion in which his Horcrux was hidden, simply to test the defence's effectiveness, and left him in the lake of Inferi. Also, Horace Slughorn made a house-elf test of his bottles of mead for poison (although he likely had antidotes on hand).
When a house-elf is mistreated, they will typically work just enough to obey their master's commands. However, if even the slightest loophole can be found in a master's orders, house-elves that are unhappy with their master will exploit that loophole to their advantage. The best way for a master to ensure full loyalty and compliance with their orders is to simply treat them properly. This was evidenced in 1997, when Hermione Granger convinced Harry Potter to be nicer to Kreacher. Soon, Kreacher began to accept his new master, and started serving him much more enthusiastically.
Hogwarts elvesEdit
- "Yeah, it's a complicated issue. I would say that Hufflepuff gave- Hufflepuff did what was the most moral thing to do at that time, and we are talking about over a thousand years ago. So that would be to give them good conditions of work."
- —J. K. Rowling.[src]
A veritable legion of house-elves are enlisted by Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. They work the kitchens, preparing feasts for the entire school. They also move trunks and baggage to and from rooms, clean dormitories, and presumably other areas of the castle as well. In 1994, they became angry with Hermione Granger as she made attempts to free them. Dobby and Winky, who came under Hogwarts' employ at the time, were considered disgraces to the rest of their colleagues due to Dobby being paid and receiving a vacation while Winky getting drunk out of self-pity. During the Battle of Hogwarts, the house-elves fought against the Death Eaters with Kreacher leading them. They defended their masters by using kitchen knives to stab at the attackers' ankles.[5]
- "You know, house-elves get a very raw deal! It's slavery, that's what it is! That Mr. Crouch made her go up to the top of the stadium, and she was terrified, and he's got her bewitched so she can't even run when they start trampling tents! Why doesn't anyone do something about it?"
- —Hermione after the 1994 Quidditch World Cup.[src]
In 1994, Hermione Granger, in outrage for the inhumane treatment of house-elves, created the student organisation S.P.E.W. - Society for the Promotion of Elfish Welfare - in an attempt to win rights for house-elves. She managed to get several students to join, paying a fee of two Sickles, though they only did so to stop her from badgering them. These students included Neville Longbottom, Ron Weasley, and Harry Potter. Some people refused to join S.P.E.W., like Fred and George Weasley, because they believed that the elves liked being treated the way they did. Hermione even tried to trick house-elves into picking up little hats and socks she had knitted and left around the Gryffindor dormitory so as to grant them freedom. The house-elves did not appreciate this gesture; on the contrary, they took it as an insult and refused to clean the common room, with the exception of Dobby.[7]
Later in life, Hermione would advance the rights of house-elves in the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures before transferring to the Department of Magical Law Enforcement.
Physical appearanceEdit
House-elves are between two to three feet tall, with spindly arms and legs and over-sized heads and eyes. They have pointed, bat-like ears and high, squeaky voices. Rather than conventional clothing, house-elves wear discarded items like pillowcases and tea-towels. Though when they are freed, and when they are able to pay for proper clothing, they seem to not know how to wear it. For example, Dobby wore a single different styled sock on each foot, and in fact was under the impression that it wasn't correct to wear two matching socks.
Known house-elvesEdit
- Dobby — Dobby was a house-elf who served the Malfoy family. During Harry Potter's second year at Hogwarts, he tried to warn the boy of the plot to have the Chamber of Secrets reopened. The same year, Harry freed Dobby from the Malfoys, by giving him one of his socks. Dobby then went on to work in the Hogwarts kitchens. He provided Harry with gillyweed for the Second Task of the Triwizard Tournament. He went on to save the lives of Harry and his friends Ron Weasley, Hermione Granger, Luna Lovegood, Dean Thomas, Mr. Ollivander, and Griphook from Death Eaters at Malfoy Manor, though he was killed by Bellatrix Lestrange in the process. Dobby was a brave, loyal house-elf, willing to put himself in dangerous situations when he knew it to be the right thing to do. He was also very loyal to the few friends he had. He considered himself to be a good house-elf, though other house elves seemed to find his desires and proclamations of being a free house-elf to be shameful.
- Unidentified House-elves at the Quidditch World Cup - These elves attended the 1994 Quidditch World Cup and were seen riding on some creatures.
- Winky — Winky was a female house-elf, currently in the employment of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and formerly the servant of the Crouch family until she was fired when she let Barty Crouch Jr. out of her grasp. Dobby helped her find work in the Hogwarts kitchens, but she spent most of her time drinking heavily.
- Kreacher — Kreacher was an aged house-elf who served the House of Black with fanatical loyalty for most of his life, until he was left to Harry Potter upon the death of Sirius Black in 1996. He was particularly fond of "his mistress" Walburga Black, who died in 1985, but whose portrait still shrieked orders from the wall in the front hall of the Black house. After Mrs. Black's death, Kreacher let the home fall into disarray, doing little, if any, cleaning. He was also fiercely loyal to Regulus Black, for whom he fought in the Battle of Hogwarts along with many other house-elves.
- Hokey — Servant of Hepzibah Smith. Hokey was accused of poisoning her mistress's cocoa. She later remembered putting something into the cocoa that turned out not to be sugar, but a lethal poison. The Ministry of Magic put it off to an accident given the fact that Hokey was old and probably confused. However, it is very likely that Tom Marvolo Riddle poisoned Mrs. Smith (in order to steal Helga Hufflepuff's Cup and Salazar Slytherin's Locket) and then magically changed Hokey's memory, with a False Memory Charm, to make her look like the guilty party.
- The house-elves who formerly worked for the House of Black - These elves worked on the House of Black before Kreacher, and were beheaded once they were too old to carry a tea tray.
- Kreacher's mother — The mother of Kreacher served as the house-elf of the Black family sometime before her son. When she became too old to carry a tea tray, she was beheaded, and her head was mounted on a plaque and hung on the wall above the front hall stairs at 12 Grimmauld Place. It was once Kreacher's sincere wish to suffer the same fate as his mother.
- The house-elves who work in Hogwarts — At least a hundred strong, they live at Hogwarts and work in the kitchens. They wear uniforms made of tea towels.
- Hooky - had a statue at Hogwarts
Behind the scenesEdit
- In the film adaption of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, two house-elves are seen wearing green and red and riding a camel at the 1994 Quidditch World Cup.
- House-elves are clearly based on the fairytale of 'The Elves and the Shoemaker' where a set of elves make shoes for a shoemaker until one day the shoemaker's wife makes them little clothes which he watches them receive. However, afterward they are never seen again.
- According to the WOMBAT test, it is possible that house-elves have an average life expectancy of 200 years, cannot be ordered to kill themselves, breed infrequently and only with their master's permission, can override wizard enchantments, and have an allegiance to their home rather than its inhabitants.
- The elf-made wine may be a product created by house-elves.
- During Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Harry Potter remarks how house-elves are actually much more capable of wielding advanced magic than wizards.
- House-elves are never identified as "beings" in Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, though presumably they are.

Protecting our local vulture populations
Dr V Naidoo, BVMCh, MSc(Vet), PhD
As previously reported, Diclofenac a veterinary non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), has been responsible for the devastating collapse of three species of the vultures on the Indian subcontinent. To place the devastation into perspective the Oriental White-backed vulture (Gyps bengelensis), which was the world's more prominent bird species, had declined from a population peak of over ten million birds in 1990 to around 8000 in 2008 representing overall decline of over 99.9%. While the collapse of any wild-life population is of major concern, the decline of the vulture species on the Asian subcontinent highlighted the severe impact that veterinary pharmaceutical products could have on delicate eco-systems.
Although South Africa has been lucky in that diclofenac was never registered for local use, the Asian vulture crisis has, however, highlighted the plight of our local vulture populations which< are equally as troubled. While we can be proud to be home to nine vulture species, seven of these are listed as endangered on the IUCN red list, with even the once ubiquitous African White-backed vulture being listed as being threatened. Of these nine species, the Cape Griffon vulture still remains the most endangered vulture species and arguably the most endangered species in the country, with the last census listing only 2800 breeding pairs being present in the wild.
With the Southern African vulture species being in steady decline from the 1970's, conservation organisations had initiated numerous support programmes including the management system of vulture restaurants. In this system, farmers were asked to place out carcasses from commercial farms and even trophy kills for the regularly feeding of vultures throughout the country. Whilst the programme has been highly successful with over 150 restaurants being known to be in operation, the accidental introduction of diclofenac into the Asian vulture food-chain has highlighted the potential of this system to introduce potentially dangerous veterinary drug into the vulture food-chain. This is of especially concern as recent studies have indicated that both the African white-backed vulture and the Cape Griffon vultures are extremely sensitive to the toxic effects of diclofenac.
Therefore in an aim to protect the remaining vultures from veterinary pharmaceuticals, the following is recommended when advising farmer of the disposal of carcasses;
· Avoid feeding carcasses that have received extensively treatment(s) prior to death.
· Treat all the NSAIDs as potentially toxicity. To date only meloxicam has been conclusively demonstrated to be safe in vultures.
· Carcasses from pentobarbitone euthanasia should be destroyed. In addition being the potential lethal to many carnivores, it should also be noted that package inserts clearly state that carcasses arising from pentobarbitone euthanasia may not be used for animal feeding.
· Avoid placing out wildlife carcasses that that die during or soon after immobilisation.
With the help of the veterinary profession, we can hopefully protect our vulture species from further declines.
(Published - November 2008)
Over servicing
It is unethical and unprofessional to continue treatment of an animal when euthanasia is indicated and the veterinarian is fully aware that the animal will not recover from its illness.
(Published -December 1996)
Perverse Incentives
Council wishes to draw the profession's attention to its adopted policy pertaining to perverse incentives and request that it is read with Rule 6 of the rules.
A practitioner should at all times act in the best interest of the patient and place the clinical need of the patient paramount. To this end a practitioner should always maintain professional autonomy, independence, and commitment to the appropriate professional and ethical norms. Any incentive or form of inducement which threatens such autonomy, independence, or commitment to the appropriate professional and ethical norms or which does not accord first priority to the clinical need of a patient, is unacceptable.
The policy statement applies to veterinarians in the public sector and those in the private sector who are contracted to provide services in the public sector. Examples in this sector are inter alia : over servicing patients and unnecessary referral to private practitioners; falsifying claims in order to increase statistics and selling drugs to private clients. It would be an offense to both offer an inducement and to accept it.
For the purpose of this policy statement the following words will have the meanings as indicated:
Valuable Consideration: the offer or acceptance of rewards, gifts or incentives to encourage sales or usage.
Trade: an act or an instance of buying and selling goods and services for financial gain.
Market related rental: as explained under note 8 of this policy statement.
Veterinarians may be involved for commercial purposes to trade in animal pharmaceuticals, feed and commodity products which form an integral and essential part of most practices. The supply of animal health products by veterinarians potentially adds important clinical value to these products. These aspects must be viewed as an integral part of the scope of practice of veterinarians. Veterinarians are in the best position to supply veterinary medicines and information regarding the rational use of essential veterinary medicines to developing farming communities;
Veterinarians may advertise the availability of veterinary and animal related products at veterinary practices. Income generated from the sale of these products by veterinarians are regarded as essential for the maintenance of many veterinary practices;
It is not permissible for a veterinary practitioner to engage in or advocate the preferential use of or prescribe any veterinary service or medicine or any product such as infant feeding products, vitamin supplements and products relating to weight control if any valuable consideration such as educational policies for a practitioner's family, subsidized training (local or international), insurance policies, retirement annuities, or motor vehicle schemes is derived from such preferential use or prescription;
Veterinarians may refer patients to a registered veterinary facility, his / her own registered facility or to a registered member of the profession or to any health facility or institution e.g. (X-ray facilities, Cath lab, Path lab etc. only
If no valuable consideration is derived from such referral such as education policies for a practitioner's family, subsidized training (local or inter national), insurance policies, retirement annuities, or motor vehicle schemes.
If no valuable consideration is derived from the referral of a patient to a specific practitioner or specialist (This does not include referral to facilities in which veterinarians have a financial interest as veterinarians own and practice from their veterinary clinics and hospitals which they are allowed to advertise.;)
It is not permissible for a veterinarian to permit or allow any immediate family member to own shares in any non-listed company which is involved in the manufacture of any medical device or medicine or any product such as infant feeding products, vitamin supplements and products relating to weight control;
It is not permissible for a veterinarian to permit or allow any members of the immediate family to own shares in any veterinary facility or veterinary service unless such facility or service operates as a listed company;
It is permissible for a veterinarian to own shares in a non-listed company or have a financial interest in an entity which owns or manages veterinary facilities or veterinary services or which manufactures, markets or distributes any veterinary devices, veterinary medicines or any products such as infant feeding products, vitamin supplements and products relating to weight control;
It is not permissible for a veterinarian to pay rentals in lease agreement which are not market related or accept payment or part-payment of room rental from such facilities. Market related rental is difficult to define.. A veterinary facility or veterinary service may wish to rent its consulting rooms at a particular rate. Such rental must, however, not be conditional on the practitioner to achieve a certain turnover, nor may it be selectively applied. All practitioners working in the veterinary facility must pay the same rental per m² ;
It is not permissible for a veterinarian to accept commission or any valuable consideration from any service in return for the purchase, sale or supply of any goods, substances or materials used by the practitioner in his or her practice or to pay commission or render any valuable consideration to any person for recommending patients;
Clients may be referred for the use of their animals for participating in drug trials, however no valuable consideration may be derived there from;
The veterinarian may not receive any valuable consideration for seeing a veterinary medical representative;
The veterinarian may not enter into a contract to work in a particular veterinary facility or veterinary service on the understanding that a practitioner generates a particular amount of revenue for such facility or service. A facility wherefrom a veterinary service is provided and equips a theatre, ward, etc. for a specific practitioner according to his / her specifications may well enter into a contractual agreement with such practitioner on the condition that such facility or service may not stipulate in the contractual agreement any turnover targets for the veterinary practitioner concerned;
The veterinary practitioner may not share fees with any person or practitioner who has not taken a commensurate part in the service for which the fees are charged; and
The veterinarian may not charge or receive fees for services not personally rendered, except for services rendered by another practitioner or person registered in terms of the Veterinary Act , with whom the practitioner is associated as a partner, shareholder or locum tenens.
his document has been adopted for the Veterinary Profession from the proposed policy statement of the Forum of Statutory Health Councils.
(Published -June 1999)
Perverse Incentives
Veterinarians who:
Over service patients;
Refer patients to private practitioners when treatment is not indicated;
Falsify claims in order to increase statistics and sell drugs to private clients;
Advocate the preferential use of or prescribe any veterinary service or medicine or any product and any valuable consideration is derived from such preferential use or prescription;
Pay or offer any commission to any person or colleague as a consideration for clients which are referred to you;
Accept any fee for the examination of an animal from both the buyer and the seller; and
Share fees with any person or practitioner who has not taken a commensurate part in the service for which the fees are charged.
Are jeopardising the autonomy, independence, or commitment to the professional and ethical norms becoming of the veterinary profession.
Any incentive or form of inducement which does not accord first priority to the clinical need of a patient is unacceptable and should be refrained from.
(Published - December 2000)
Identification of Veterinary Clinical Facilities
Identification Boards
This is a board ON THE PREMISES where the practice is situated; States the registered name of the practice; It may contain a logo; There is no restrictions on size or letter size; Consulting hours are allowed to appear on the identification board; and there is no restriction on the number of boards.
Direction Boards
This is a board situated away from the practice indicating the direction to follow to the practice; It must comply with the municipal/provincial regulations governing direction boards; There is no limitation on the number or size of boards and the content of the boards shall be limited to the registered name of the Veterinary Hospital, Clinic, Consulting Room, and where necessary, a direction arrow.
Sign Boards
This is an advertising board situated away from the practice containing information relating to the practice i.e. registered name, address and telephone numbers. Sign boards may be erected where the practice is situated in a complex and the circumstances justify a sign board. THE USE OF THIS BOARD IS TO BE APPROVED BY COUNCIL.
(Published -June 1997)
Geographical, street, suburb and district names are acceptable. Names, which imply too wide a practice area, e.g. Natal Veterinary Hospital, are not permitted. Suburb and street names are given preference, and town names are granted only in exceptional circumstances.
The use of " made-up" names, including those, which contain the prefix or suffix "vet" (e.g. Citivet or Medvet), are permitted, provided that such a name is followed by " veterinary hospital/clinic/consulting room/ or centre". All applications for made-up names are referred to Council for approval.
Duplication of names should be avoided with the exception of common street or suburb names in different towns, which are further than 50 km apart. The duplication of " made-up" names will not be permitted.
After-hours facilities can be registered. An after-hours facility is a facility, which complies with the minimum standards for a hospital, which operates outside of normal working hours for veterinary practices whereto after-hours work is referred, i.e. at night, Saturday afternoons, Sundays and public holidays. ( The onus rests on the referring practice to ensure that veterinary attention is available outside of the operating hours of the after-hours facility.)
Species practices, e.g. bird or equine practices can be registered. Organ and discipline practices should be registered provided that:
such a practice is registered in the name of a registered specialist in the organ/discipline involved;
should such a practice be sold to a non-specialist, the name would have to change;
a specialist should be on duty at all times at such a practice, e.g. where it is necessary for a locum to be employed at such a practice, this locum must be a specialist in the applicable field;
general veterinary work should be permitted to be performed at such a practice; and
such a practice should not be obliged to operate on a referral basis.
Emergency facilities can be registered. An emergency facility is a facility which complies with the minimum standards for a hospital at which a veterinarian is present, and prepared to attend to emergencies with minimum delay, at all times.
Centre facilities can be registered. A centre is a facility shared by a minimum of two veterinary specialist disciplines, each of which is headed by a registered specialist in the appropriate fields, and has such a specialist present. Appropriately equipped facilities for the specialist disciplines must be available at all times. Subject to these requirements, general practitioners may operate from such facilities.
Only names ending in " hospital", " clinic", " consulting room" or " centre" are registerable. There is a cross- referencing between names of facilities and close corporations.

A risk factor is something that increases your chances of developing cancer. Some risk factors cannot be changed, such as family history or genetics. Fortunately, many risk factors can be modified.
Quit Smoking
Tobacco use is the biggest risk factor associated with esophageal cancer. People who smoke and drink carry an even higher risk than doing one or the other alone. All forms of smoking, including opioid drugs, introduces a variety of harmful chemicals into your body. The sooner smoking is stopped, the sooner your body can start to heal.
Your doctor can help you with quitting smoking and opioid abuse.
Drink Alcohol Only in Moderation
Excess alcohol intake is also associated with an increased risk of esophageal cancer. Adding smoking to excess alcohol intake multiplies the risk of esophageal cancer. If you drink, aim for moderation. Moderation is a maximum of one drink per day for women and a maximum of two drinks per day for men.
Talk to your doctor if you are having trouble controlling how much you drink.
Eat a Healthful Diet
There is evidence to support eating a healthful diet to reduce your risk of esophageal and many other types of cancer. In general, aim for a diet high in fruits and vegetables, and dietary fiber, and fewer servings of dairy, processed foods, and red meat. Good nutrition supports your body's immune system and can help maintain a healthy weight.
Avoid drinking hot beverages right away. Allow them to cool down for a short period of time.
Exercise Regularly
Regular physical activity has many benefits. It reduces the risk of many cancers and helps with overall well-being. Aim for at least 30 minutes of regular exercise on most days of the week. The higher the amount of physical activity the greater the reduction in risk.
Manage Occupational Exposures
Chemical exposure can occur in many different jobs. If possible, try to find work in a different environment. If it is unavoidable, take steps to protect yourself from inhaling harmful chemicals. Check with the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health or the Environmental Protection Agency about any available protective guidelines.
Manage Environmental Exposures
Irritation caused by external substances can also increase the risk of cancer. The irritants may be inhaled or intentionally delivered.
Previous radiation exposure can cause problems, but is not always avoidable. Radiation accumulates in the body over the course of a lifetime. Talk to your doctor or dentist about the risks and benefits of any radiation exposure.
Avoid inhalation of harsh, burning chemicals like lye or drain cleaner. Keep chemicals in clearly marked containers and locked away, especially if you have children.
Manage Health Conditions
If you have any health conditions that put you at a high risk of esophageal cancer, be sure to follow your treatment plan. High risk conditions may include:
- Barrett's esophagus —Your doctor may advise that you have regular endoscopy tests to watch for changes that may indicate cancer.
- Gastroesophageal reflux disease —Take any medications as prescribed, even if you are feeling well and have no symptoms.
- Obesity —If you need help making a weight loss plan, consult with a registered dietitian.
- Achalasia —Take any medications as prescribed, even if you are feeling well and have no symptoms.
- Nutritional deficiencies—Talk to a registered dietitian about eating a balanced diet. This may include supplements for any deficiencies that need to be corrected.
Talk to Your Doctor About the Benefits of Aspirin
Some studies have found a link between aspirin use and reduced rates of esophageal cancer. Since taking aspirin can have side effects, including gastrointestinal bleeding, talk to your doctor before starting any aspirin therapy.

Stronger, better together
Our vision for a united school district began as a collective goal among Maize USD 266 administrative staff members at the beginning of the 2015-16 year. It since has inspired student artwork, charitable cooperation, a flash mob, and more.
From Eagles and Mavericks collaborating on fundraising community projects to high school students helping in our preschool classrooms, we are stronger together.
Thank you for your support, and please use the hashtag #OneMa1ze on social media to be a part of our story!
What is best for our students??
My district administrative team members know this is a question they often will hear me ask, as it is one that guides my decision-making as the superintendent of schools here at Maize USD 266.?I want to ensure that Maize -- and its students and employees -- have great success. I aim to be fiscally responsible by striving for an efficient and strong education, not a cheap one, guided primarily by one question: What is best for our students? It will not always be an easy question to answer, but I look forward to the opportunity to seek an answer nonetheless.?Thank you again for your?continued support of this great district. We are better together working as OneMa1ze. Sincerely,?Dr. Chad Higgins, Superintendent of Schools email@example.com (Please click on the headline to read an expanded view of this message.)
Maslow's Pantry a free resource for entire OneMa1ze community
Maslow's Pantry is a students-helping-students program that provides food, hygiene items, and clothes to students, their families, and others in our community. The pantry is in the building in front of Maize High School that formerly served as the police station. Maslow's respects anonymity and depends on donations. Students visit to select items they need.
How you can support Maslow's Pantry
Others interested in helping can deliver donations to the front office at Maize High, 11600 W. 45th St. North in Maize. Needs include dried boxed food, personal hygiene items, and prom dresses. A local business will dry clean and alter gowns for Maslow's prom dress exchange, which started last year and aims to be even larger this spring. Thank you for your support!
