"A Midsummer Night's Dream" is a comedy written by William Shakespeare in the late 16th century. The play follows the misadventures of four young lovers, a group of amateur actors, and a fairy king and queen as they navigate the complexities of love and the supernatural.
At the center of the play is the relationship between the four young lovers: Hermia, Lysander, Demetrius, and Helena. Hermia is betrothed to Demetrius, but she is in love with Lysander. Helena, who is in love with Demetrius, is rejected by him in favor of Hermia. This love quadrangle is further complicated by the interference of the fairy king and queen, Oberon and Titania, who use magic to manipulate the emotions and actions of the humans.
One of the main themes of the play is the power of love and its ability to bring about both joy and suffering. The love between the four young lovers is intense and all-consuming, leading them to act irrationally and make poor decisions. The fairy magic only exacerbates this, as it causes the characters to fall in and out of love with each other at the whims of Oberon and Titania.
Another theme is the idea of illusion and the dangers of being too easily swayed by appearances. The fairy magic causes the characters to see things that are not really there, leading them to make mistaken assumptions about each other. This is exemplified by the character of Bottom, who is transformed into an ass and is not recognized by his fellow actors.
In addition to the themes of love and illusion, the play also explores the concept of social hierarchy and the expectations placed on individuals based on their class and status. Hermia, for example, is pressured by her father and the Duke of Athens to marry Demetrius, even though she does not love him. The fairy characters also have their own hierarchy, with Titania and Oberon constantly vying for power and control.
Overall, "A Midsummer Night's Dream" is a delightful and humorous exploration of love, illusion, and social expectations. Its timeless themes and well-developed characters make it a classic work of literature that continues to be enjoyed by readers and audiences today.
“Hardware Disease” in Backyard Chickens
Remember, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. MEDIA CONTACT: Derinda Blakeney, APR OSU College of Veterinary Medicine 405-744-6740. Cattle eating hay or long forage generally stop to chew, so metal contained in hay bales is often dropped, or falls out before ingestion, but cattle on a total mixed ration where the forage is ground and mixed with grain are generally more likely consume any metal fragments present in the feed. Signs of Trouble When the animal eats a sharp foreign object, the action of the stomach may push it through the stomach wall. They may appear with an arched or rigid back and tense, tucked up abdomen. Thin wires exposed from the worn steel belt can break off and fall into the tire feeder or water tank and cattle may ingest these fragments of metal that are mixed in with the feed.
Hardware Disease (Traumatic Reticuloperitonitis)
Even though this may work, animals with extensive organ injury and poor prognosis will succumb to the infections and organ failure.

With an abomasal ulcer, though, you usually see some blood in the stool, some dark, tarry stools. Animals that manage to recover usually have complications, as the puncturing of the organs will lead to adhesion of the foreign object. Swallowed metallic objects, such as nails or pieces of wire, fall directly into the reticulum or pass into the rumen and are subsequently carried over the ruminoreticular fold into the cranioventral part of the reticulum by ruminal contractions.
Hardware disease
Give her a magnet, it's not hard to do, and see if that makes a difference. The hardware, after ingestion, rests in the reticulum where it can pierce the lining leading to secondary infections in the abdominal and thoracic cavity. The prognosis in hardware disease varies with the amount of infection present, how long the condition has been present, and the individual animal. The screw that was removed is depicted in Figure 2. In addition to abomasal displacement, TRP remains one of the most significant internal disorders of cattle. Unlike other animal types, where foreign objects typically move through the gastrointestinal tract until they either cause a blockage or are passed, the anatomy of the reticulum and the weight of the object nearly guarantee that the piece of hardware remains there forever. Successful treatment of hardware disease can be achieved by use of antibiotics and administering a magnet into the fore-stomach using a balling gun.

Obviously, this is not good for their health and can cause some severe problems. In the second case, one dead, adult female black-feathered chicken, weighing 1. Subsequently, contractions of the caudoventral, caudodorsal and ventral ruminal sacs force digesta back into the reticulum and cranial ruminal sac. The strength and duration of the cycle depends more on the ingesta present in the reticulorumen than the frequency of the cycle Radostits et al. If the contraction of the reticulum pushes the wire toward the heart, it can pass through the diaphragm and into the sac surrounding the heart with a catastrophic outcome.

Pieces of rake teeth, tedder teeth, broken sickles, screws, gate hooks and pieces of high tensile wire can all culprits in hardware disease. The use of large steel-belted tires for water and mineral troughs and feed bunks is more prevalent now. The majority of nucleated cells are non-degenerate neutrophils and mononuclear cells. Fluid may accumulate around the heart as a result of infection. Compression of the ruminoreticulum by the uterus in late pregnancy and straining during parturition increase the likelihood of an initial penetration of the reticulum and may also disrupt adhesions caused by an earlier penetration. If a sample contains immature, degenerative , or toxic neutrophils especially if the NCC is greater than 10,000 cells , purulent peritonitis is present.
