Most often the two worlds of cities and camping just don't mix, but Australian company Trakka have created a camper van that effortlessly bridges the gap between the two. The new Trakkadu 450S could sit just as comfortably and proudly on a campsite as it could outside an office downtown, and with its modern features, high-end interior decor and sleek exterior this is a city-slicker's dream van.
The last camper van to emerge from the Trakka workshop was the Trakkadu AT all-terrain Transporter, but this time the focus is being pulled out of the dirt and back onto tarmac with a van that's designed to slip elegantly down city streets and then tear it up on the highway. This is the beginning of Trakka's new sport range, part of their collection of premium camper vans appealing to the higher end of the market.
The base van is the unmistakable Volkswagen T6, boasting a 201bhp 2L bi-turbo diesel engine under the hood, a 7-speed GSG transmission delivering an impressive 450nM of torque and all-wheel drive. It's packed full of the latest technology and automated systems, like automatic LED headlights and daytime running lights, water-sensing automatic windscreen wipers and an auto-dimming rear view mirror. It's got a stop/start engine, all the safety gear like adaptive cruise control, airbags, rear view camera and parking sensors, and to keep everyone amused on long drives there's a 6.5" infotainment system with six speaker surround sound. The engine bay is sound-proofed, there's a choice of alloy wheels in various styles and a choice of paint color, but the "Go Faster" stripes along the side are part and parcel. The van's rear protection plate keeps the bumper scratch-free while adding a certain element of style and ferocity to its look.
Moving inside and away from the mustard yellow paint, the interior is a symphony in charcoal, featuring a dark, sleek and somewhat industrial decor, much like a high-end office. Or a warehouse. The insulated composite floor and roof, customizable textured heavy-duty fabric and anodized aluminum cabinetry with roller shutter doors all serve to emphasize this look, blending premium quality with hard-wearing sustainability.
The Trakkadu 450S seats four and sleeps two, but an additional roof bed with gas strut-assisted lift is offered for $1,100 extra. The lower bed is created from a multi-positional sliding rear seat which sits opposite the removable indoor/outdoor dining table. There's a storage shelf in the roof, a removable wardrobe and flexible storage space in the boot. For the nighttime, there are heat-insulated side and rear windows, a sliding side door screen to keep out mosquitoes, and a rear door annex creates additional living space should you need it.
The compact kitchen runs along the driver's side of the van and features a gas-less cooker, fuelled by diesel from the van's main tank and powered by its 12V leisure battery. The dark ceramic cooktop fits right in with the van's overall style, and uses just 0.2L of diesel an hour to run. There's storage for food in the 78L compressor fridge/freezer and in the soft-close drawers and cabinets. The kitchen even comes with its own Corelle crockery set and secure storage system, so chuck in a few clothes and this camper is ready to hit the road after a day at the office.
When you're ready to take the Trakkadu off the road and off the grid it's got a 55L freshwater tank to keep you topped up and 30L grey water tank with electronic dump valve. It's also got a hot water system and rear shower, and digital monitoring of the electrical and water systems not only via the van's built-in electric control panel, but also via a smartphone app. It's also one of a handful of new camper vans to move away from standard lead acid batteries and into the world of lithium power, and comes with a 125Ah lithium iron phosphate battery system as standard. This is charged via a 120W flush roof-mounted solar panel, which is also capable of charging the van's starter battery, linked up to a 15Amp 240V 5 stage lithium solar charger and a 25Amp DC2DC battery charger. The Trakkadu comes with a 12V outlet, USB charging ports, a 12V multidirectional fan, dimmable LED lighting and a 240V on-grid power system, so it's well suited for both campsites and the outback.
Finally, after a long week at work, you can drive out into the wild and crack open a beer underneath the Trakkadu's powered side roll-out awning with dimmable exterior LED lighting and relax. Trakka offers a range of premium optional extras, like European leather upholstery (add $2,600), a diesel room heater (add $2,490), an electric sliding door or a tow bar with electrics (add $1,400 each).
All in all this is a luxurious take on an established and well-loved camper van, creating a premium alternative sitting at the high end of the camper van market with a price tag of $135,000 not including any extras. This is sure to appeal to city workers who love a weekend getaway, or maybe just those who are seeking a fast, sporty and stylish camper van.

Vastavam web: The Indian cricket board handed a three-month suspension to Uttar Pradesh left-hander Rinku Singh for playing in an unsanctioned T20 league in Abu Dhabi, which has now led to his withdrawal from India A team. While Rinku's suspension starts June 1, BCCI had let go veteran all-rounder Irfan Pathan with a warning for putting his name in Caribbean Premier League (CPL) draft without parent body's prior permission before withdrawal.
Similarly, no action was taken against former India U-19 captain Anuj Rawat for playing unsanctioned T20 league in Mauritius with Pakistani cricketers of dubious credibility. Rinku has also been a part of Kolkata Knight Riders for the past two seasons and it was learnt that he played in the unsanctioned league after the IPL got over.
"Singh did not seek permission from the BCCI before taking part in the T20 league hence directly violating the BCCI rules and regulations. As per the BCCI norms, a player registered with the Board cannot play in any tournaments abroad without the Board's permission. Rinku Singh therefore has been suspended with immediate effect for a period of three months starting June 1, 2019," BCCI announced the verdict. However there are questions being raised as to why Rinku, a young player wasn't at least given a warning about the consequences he could face for his indiscretion.
"If Irfan Pathan, who played significant amount of international cricket, was not even given a rap on the knuckles for registering in CPL after being well aware about the rules and regulations, suspending Rinku after his first mistake is simple double standards," a senior BCCI official, privy with working of Cricket Operations team, told PTI on Thursday.

The traditional marriage or give away ceremony in Buganda is one function you will get to like because it keeps you on your toes.. The preparations for any traditional introduction or marriage ceremony are tiring and trying financially, physically and mentally as you wonder why you have to fulfill a lot of traditional must do requirements and spend so unreasonably because 'tradition' requires it so. But from the day the ceremony is held, you will like it for the rest of your life because of the cultural and organized displays as well as the value that many people continue to attach to this ceremony called Kwanjula.
Kwanjula basically means to introduce. It is a day when the bride to be introduces her future husband (and his people who escort him) to her parents and relatives.
I have attended many introduction ceremonies but the Baganda's Kwanjula is a more elaborate and engaging ceremony that what you have to do right keeps you on your toes until the last minute of the ceremony, or you may miss being given the lady of your life.At the beginning, you have to go and see one of the lady's aunties(Ssenga), the one she has chosen to act as Ssenga – the official aunt. The Ssenga is very central to the Kiganda marriage ceremony and is a respected role that many ageing Baganda women yearn to perform. You are required to write a letter to the lady's family, the bazeyi or elders. The letter has to be in flawless Luganda and has to be written through the Ssenga or aunt who thenceforth becomes the official go between the two parties. The letter is then taken to the Ssenga (with a little money for transport of course) to take it to the Bakulu Bano (fellow respected elders). In the letter, the man is asking to be allowed to get born in his in-laws family by going there to ask for their daughter's hand in marriage.The Bakulu then accept in writing that you can go on a specified date and 'get born into their family'. They also gave you the maximum number of people you should take which is most times not more than 50 people. The father in-law will also ask for his Mutwalo, what could be taken as bride price.
The mutwalo is accompanied with some items that you will need to take along for example: fruits and vegetables except egg plants (Ntula and Biringanya) and a few others, which if taken would be considered as cultural taboo that may lead to the man being fined or denied the bride altogether. There has to be bread, sugar, salt, soap, paraffin, cooking oil, curry powder, and a host of related items. You are required to buy certificates from Buganda kingdom to show that you respect and support the cultural monarchy, one of the four certificates being the marriage certificate. The Kanzus for the Father in-laws and brother in-laws, Gomesis for mother in-laws and Ssengas (Kanzu and Gomesi are cultural dresses for males and females respectively). These are a must. You have to prepare money for the envelopes- for the father in-law, mother in-law, Ssengas, brother in-laws (with a special one and a cock for the official brother in-law).
The traditional marriage ceremony in Buganda may have changed over the years, but it still remains a battle of wits and cultural tongue-twisting between representatives of the two sides who engage each other in a question and answer challenge or in knowing, mentioning and following century old norms and traditions. Both families are required to have a spokesman to speak for them. The spokesman takes the role of the final emissary on the day of introduction and he has to pull a lot of antics learned from tradition and experience to engage or answer challenges from the other side's spokesman. It is the battle (friendly and of words) between the two that makes the Kwanjula and the whole ceremony memorable and unique from any other ceremony.The spokesman takes the role of the final emissary on the day of introduction and he has to pull a lot of antics learned from tradition and experience to engage or answer challenges from the other side's spokesman. It is the battle (friendly and of words) between the two that makes the Kwanjula and the whole ceremony memorable and unique from any other ceremony. The spokesman will range between 250,000- 300,000 but the price is negotiable.
The dressing is also another crucial aspect on this day. The men are supposed to wear coats and kanzus while the women will need to put on gomesi preferably but this also depends on what culture the intended son-in-law comes from. The greetings then begin starting with the girls of the house who also welcome the visitors followed by the boys and then the sengas. Since the senga is the most important person on this day next to the bride to be, she actually runs the whole function from introducing the guests to choosing the bridegroom. When the bridegroom is chosen, the mugole can then come out of the house and greet her visitors most especially the bridegroom. This is the beginning of a new family to the bridegroom since he has been inaugurated or allowed into his mugole's family.
The rest of the ceremony is as interesting as the gifts (which are left outside) are brought and allocated to the different beneficiaries and the hosts lay their demands and wishes on the new family. Once the gifts are brought, the host's spokesman asks the bride and Ssenga "Ebintu Tubirye?" -whether they should accept the gifts. When they accept, the part of the rings follows were the bridegroom puts a ring on the brides finger this in kwanjula denotes marriage, and then the cutting of the cake follows and that brings us to the end of a memorable day.

Bruce was born somewhere around January 17, 2005.
We don't know much about his younger life. When I met him, he had been a frequent inmate at the local pound. His previous owners couldn't justify bailing him out again, so they'd left him to be adopted. Perhaps they should have expected him to be a runner, as they had gotten him from the same pound, his owners before them *also* having decided it was too expensive to pay the bondsman.
So when I met him, unlike many of the other dogs, he wasn't too sad. He looked *bored*, more than anything. He reminded me of my former friend, who'd shared half of my life. It didn't take much convincing for my wife, though she wasn't a dog person when we got married.
To add to the advantage, he was already known as a "senior" dog, so the cost to break him out wasn't too high.
But before I brought him home, we went to a dog-tag kiosk and printed a tag with my contact information and my address.
And, boy, was I glad we did.
Bruce was a runner, as I've already eluded to. He could have given Houdini a run for his money, considering the inescapable barriers which seemed to produce almost no challenge for the terrier.
But he was also friendly, so every time he'd break free, wandering the neighborhood, he'd happily hop in whatever car stopped to talk to him, and he'd often get brought back to my house before I even realized he'd gone.
Bruce was a bright dog.
Like most mini-schnauzers which I've known, he wasn't much interested in games like 'fetch.' His attitude, when we'd throw a ball, was more indignation: "you threw it, *you* go get it."
But being smart, and not entertained by normal dog activities, he'd relieve his boredom by inventing new escape methods, and discovering new sights as he wandered the ever-broadening territory of our neighborhood.
He was also perceptive. We got Bruce around the time that my health had started to diminish to the extent that most of my life's actions where prohibitively challenging. For me, this new prison, which was my broken body, drove my over-active brain into deep depression, severe anxiety, and frequent panic attacks. I went from being limited in my functionality, to being entirely crippled. My physical limitations removed most of my hobbies, but my new despair killed most of my remaining relationships. Needless, perhaps, to say: I was not coping well.
The most difficult thing about the panic attacks was that I had no clue when they would come on. Oh, there were a couple of things which would, more often than not, trigger one – being around people, for example – but mostly, they'd come on without warning.
And my new buddy, who was usually content curling up on my legs, didn't help by sticking his smelly nose in my face and standing on my chest every time that I had one. Still, having him there during the attacks helped me to shorten their duration – giving me something, someone, else to focus on. Not to mention, petting a dog is a pleasant thing, one which is a well recognized treatment for panic disorders (and the reason it took little effort to convince my wife to let me get him).
He'd lie down on my chest, during the attack, staring straight into my eyes. having 25lbs on my chest forced me to work a little harder to breath, requiring a little more conscious thought. Strangely, as soon as the attacks would abate, he'd leave my chest and go back to my legs.
Now… one might think that I'm a bit slow, and that's probably correct. It took me almost a year to realize that he knew that I was having a panic attack *even before I did*, and was trying to warn me that something was wrong. He would patiently wait for my attacks to end, demanding my attention during the whole thing.
That realization had the potential to make an huge impact on my panic attacks – if I could establish a consistent method for Bruce to alert me to an impending attack, I might be able to get to a safe place during it – allowing me to again expand myself into the broader world, actually seeing people, and not just on a screen!
It took another year or so to establish that warning system, and to flesh out a better established response once I knew an attack was coming. I took advantage of that year to also work with the wild wanderer to accept a lead, and to walk with me – neither pulling ahead, nor lagging behind. I *almost* broke his need to chase anything which ran… squirrels… cats… other dogs… small children… Unfortunately, I never could break the terrier out of him completely. However, I was a lot bigger than he was, so I learned to watch for dashing things, and catch his attention before *he* did.
After that year, I finally began to call Bruce what he'd become: my service dog. He'd gone from being my support dog, which he was from when we got him, to being a fully authorized service dog. Perhaps I'll break down the differences in the future; suffice it to say that those differences may be small, but they are massive in impact.
As my service dog, Bruce could now go almost anywhere I could, allowing him to work for me in those times when I was most vulnerable to panic attacks: in public. I was finally able to begin the re-transition from isolated hermit to somewhat social being.
Fortunately, having a task – a job – Bruce's brain was now engaged in something which didn't involve getting thrown into the slammer. Having work to do helped to reform the felonious beast of his younger years into the respectable, hard working middle-aged man.
He never did like little kids, though. I'm guessing that one of his previous owners had unrestricted little monsters that pulled his ears and poked his eyes… because whenever little kids got near his ears or eyes, he'd give them a grumpy 'snap' – never clamping his jaws, but a loud "I'm biting you!" shout and 'mouthing' them. It was something I learned with my niece, but became aware of a need to watch him with the small humans.
Still, over the next couple of years, having a warning to my panic attacks, and knowing that I had a means to help shorten them if they came on, reduced my panic attacks from daily to weekly, and then less often, and then to non-existent. Still struggling with anxiety, and still fighting off depression, I was at least free of crippling panic attacks – mostly… I've had a couple in the last 3 or so years, but not more than that.
Bruce changed my life for the better; he really gave me some of my life back.
I don't move quickly. To quote Baymax, "I am not fast." As he got older, though, Bruce began to struggle to keep up with me for long. It became clear that, though he'd still faithfully perform his work duties without the smallest hesitation, it was getting more and more difficult to do it. Like most working dogs, he'd have killed himself before letting me down, though. We realized it was time for the old man to be able to enjoy his final stretch of life in a comfortable retirement.
And so he has been, for the last couple of years. We didn't expect him to live much longer, as he was already almost 13 (we think), and had obviously had some health issues, including having lost all of his teeth (except one) due to gum disease. Miniature Schnauzers usually live 14 years, if they've had an healthy life – and like most who spend their youth in and out of prison, his health left something to be desired. (One might continue the analogy, and compare his oral health to many prisoners'… but for the sake of one's nightmares, we'll leave that alone. Incidentally, if one wants to have nightmares, a google search of "drug mouth" might fill in some gaps of the imagination).
Bruce had spent his retirement as many old men would prefer: yelling at the young ruffians who dared to trespass on his lawn, lounging about the house, and getting all the pats and ear scratches he would want. His days of escaping had passed, and he was content to totter around the house and snooze in the most inconvenient places possible.
Several days ago, however, he came down with something. He's been sick before, and we expected that after a day of fasting, or so, he'd start to feel better.
Unfortunately, just as I was drifting off to sleep last night, I heard him retching again. I went to check on him, and let him into the yard for some fresh air (which is what he normally prefers after he's been sick). He listlessly stood in the garage, seemingly unwilling to make it to the back door. When I let him in, instead of coming downstairs with me, like normal, he stood at the top of the stairs, looking blankly down. I may have imagined the slight sway as he stood there.
After I carried him down, and put him in his bed, I returned to mine. As I lie there, I could here his breathing (like normal), but instead of his normal, old-man snoring, I heard him struggle for breath. This worried me, as one might expect, and I spent the next several hours holding his head on my lap as he fitfully slept, waking every 30 or so minutes to be sick again. He hadn't kept any food down, at this point, for nearly 2 days, and hadn't kept any liquid down for a day.
As I held him, I noticed that his normally warm breath was now almost cool on my bare leg; his body, normally warm, was cool, and his paws felt like he'd been standing on cold concrete, though he'd been wrapped up in bed.
As I looked up these symptoms, I slowly came to the realization that my buddy's stomach flu wasn't going to be getting better.
This morning, after only a couple of hours of sleep, I woke to tell my boys that I thought that it was time to tell their old friend that they loved him, give him a day of snuggles and pats, and prepare to say goodbye.
By mid morning, it became clear that he wouldn't be able to make it another day. He'd taken to hiding himself in the garage, on the cold concrete floor, where he could lose his sick all around him, without having to find a fresh pad of carpet.
Today, then, I scheduled an appointment at 14:00 for my old friend, my buddy, my companion through some of the darkest parts of my life.
My wife's understanding boss encouraged her to come with me, rather than go to work. My wife and I got to hold and pet the now listless, but comfortable, Bruce as he passed from this life. He was just under a week past his 15th birthday, as far as we can tell, proving that he had lived longer than normally expected, in spite of his poor oral health, and rough youth.
While he shivered a bit in anxious anticipation of entering the vet's office, he had calmed down completely, hardly even contesting the needle put in his leg.
My good-boy comfortably dozed into the first good sleep he's had in a few days; and then woke to the squirrel filled, grass fields in the sky.
Today, then, I bid a forlorn farewell to my friend. I'm very grateful for Bruce, who's entry into my life when he was most needed, and helped me transition through the depths of mental illness. Bruce was a dog, a beast, an animal; He wasn't a person; but he was still a part of my family, and there's a hole in my heart where he was. Grieving is temporary, and I have no doubt that it will pass, as it always has for me; but today, I'm still grieving; today my eyes are still wet.
I'm writing as an expression of that grief, today, so I'll ask for your forgiveness for my failure to end on an high note, as I have always tried to do.
In the great symphony of my life, today is a day of dissonance and minor chords. There will be more great music later on the page, and today's few bars will help to bring contrast to those happier, harmonious major chords.
I am sad, but I'm not lost nor despairing as I once was. For those who are worried, don't be. This, too, shall pass.

SEULE À MON MARIAGE / Alone at My Wedding
Pamela is a Roma woman who lives with her grandmother and two-year-old daughter in a snow-covered village on the outskirts of Bucharest. Her parents are dead and there are no real job prospects in the area, so Pamela wants to get out of there. In Marta Bergman's heartfelt directorial debut, the wedding described in the title never happens, although being alone is very much what the movie is about. Following a young mail-order bride who travels from Romania to Belgium to marry an older man she met online, this character study is a keenly observed look at how marriage can be more about survival than love.

Our Vision
The Mission of Faith United Church is to encourage and support each person's unique journey of faith.
We are an accepting community seeking to enhance each person's unique journey of faith. We draw sustenance from Biblical tradition, contemporary wisdom and one another in open inquiry. Inspired by the Spirit and guided by the teachings of Jesus, we strive to support one another, our community and beyond.
- The hallmarks of Faith's identity are questing for spiritual understanding and caring for one another.
- All of Faith's activities should provide opportunities to explore different ways to develop spiritually through: worship services, reflections, talk-backs, theme studies.....
- Kids' Quest will continue to introduce spiritual concepts to children through Bible and other stories, music, drama and crafts.
- We plan to focus our energy on doing what we do and doing it the best we can. It is our expectation that people will be attracted to the welcoming warmth and openness of our community.
- Faith's future will not be burdened with the responsibility of maintaining a traditional church building, however we will continue to be vigilantly aware of new development in Kingston East where appropriate worship space might be available.
- Faith will communicate with the community primarily through word of mouth. As well, we will use our web-site, social media, periodic newspaper ads and invitations to participate in our activities.
- Faith's ordinary operations should be financially self-sustaining. Other fund-raising activities and appeals should be for one-time projects, out-reach activities and helping others.

St. Patrick & The Ireland Collective
Ireland is often called the Island of Saints and Scholars because of our rich spiritual heritage, of which Saint Patrick is part. We love this day as a celebration of the revival that is possible when we submit our hearts and wills to Jesus. He can take the lowest, most unqualified people and use them to turn the hearts of an entire nation towards him. So no matter where you find yourself today-- Irish or not!-- remember you have the power of the Holy Spirit living inside you! And that is worth celebrating every day of the year!

I first seen you all in Gaffney South Carolina with Tenth Avenue North. It was the night Mike fell off the stage. You all were full of energy and joy. It was awesome. I knew I would be seeing you again.
I saw you once in concert and felt such an amazing atmosphere of worship. And now I am listening to your album "Good News" for the first time in my kitchen and I am so encouraged. God is so good and absolutely all we need.
I saw you guys in ATLANTA at WinterJam and you guys were incredible. Rend Collective is my favorite artist!

Pub landlord recognised for Cancer Research fundraising efforts
PUBLISHED: 11:26 11 February 2019
Pub landlord Sean Holland's lifelong determination to raise a fortune for cancer research has been rewarded by a long service award from Stone Parish Council.
The award was handed to the popular landlord by councillors John Burrell and Stephanie Thredgle on behalf of the local authority.
The landlord of The Lads of the Village public house in Elizabeth Street, Greenhithe, has served the community of Stone for 40 years and is the biggest fundraising landlord in the borough.,
His tally to date stands at a very impressive £100,000 plus, and it is all for Cancer Research and the council said it feels this incredible achievement deserved to be recognised.
Sean, previously the landlord at The Ivy Leaf, in Dartford, told us: "I was very flattered when they came in and told me about it.
"I chose Cancer Research because it is a cause I really believe in and not because of anything else in particular."
He was given an engraved glass tankard as a way of recognising his amazing achievement.
Sean added: "I am keeping it at home so I know it will be safe.
"I had no idea anyone was thinking about an award like this. This first I knew about it was when they came in and told me about it. I was amazed."
Afterwards, Councillor Burrell said: "Sean is a stalwart of the community and has been serving residents for a considerable number of years as well as raising significant funds for charities. We are delighted to present him with our long service award."
The Parish council said it is still keen to hear from residents of anyone who they believe deserves to be recognised for their long service.
The pub was built in 1793 as a private cottage and only became a pub during early Victorian times.
Sean said: "The people here share my passion for raising money for Cancer Research – I could not have done any of it without them backing me 100 per cent all the way. They are a great bunch and this is our way of giving something back."

The National Health Policy 2017 was a much-needed step to address the healthcare situation in the country. However, it has taken too long for a country with such a high population and it should have been accorded priority much before.
It is important that in India, a country of 1.2 billion-plus people with a robust democracy and economy, the health of its people is accorded priority in the manner that it truly deserves.
Lack of focus on health can have serious implications, not just on the state of the health of people and the misery that it causes, but also in dragging the economy of the country down several notches.
Let's look at some numbers first to set the context India bears a staggering 21% of the world's disease burden. While infectious and communicable diseases are still ruling, there is a shift happening and more than 53% of total deaths every year in India are now due to non-communicable diseases (NCDs) like cancer, diabetes and heart disease. In fact, by 2020, over 60 million Indians are expected to succumb to them.
What is worse is that the shooting figures of the disease burden and deaths in the country are being fought with dismal figures of public spend on health care.
There's extremely high, about 61% out-of-pocket expenditure, one of the highest in the world, and very low health insurance coverage: only 25% of the population, again one of the lowest in the world.
Until the Cabinet cleared the Health Policy, healthcare spend was pegged at a little more than 1% of the GDP. The new policy is aimed at universal health coverage for all and recognises that there are many critical gaps in public health services which would be filled by strategic purchasing.
Commercial insurance
One of the main mechanisms of strategic purchasing is insurance. The policy states its objective to integrate public-funded insurance schemes into a single-payer system.
However, more needs to be done to give better space to commercial insurance, which relies on payment and pooling, to cater a larger population.
Also, we must notice that the Indian healthcare expenditure has grown slower than the other economies. Which is why the proposal of increasing health expenditure to 2.5% of GDP seems very low in comparison to what has been achieved by the neighbouring countries. Moreover, there is no roadmap laid out to achieving these targets.
The policy needed to be more specific about the way these targets will be achieved to give a clear picture of how the government plans to accomplish these objectives. We need to prioritise and understand the nation's problems better to be able to solve them appropriately.
According to the latest figures available, in the year 2015-16, only 3% of the total health budget was earmarked for NCD programmes.
This doesn't make sense as according to the United Nations and the World Health Organisation, the burden of NCDs is expected to cost India $6.2 trillion during the period 2012-2030.
Minimum allocation
What is shocking is that even out of the bare minimum allocation to healthcare, a huge part does not even get spent. In fact, a sum of Rs 48,649.35 crore has remained unspent over the last three financial years (2013- 16).
Responding to a query in the Lok Sabha, Minister of State for Health and Family Welfare Anupriya Patel said that against an allocation of Rs 1,69,544.54 crore (Central and state combined) in 2015-16, the reported expenditure was to the tune of Rs 1,57,729.76 crore.
I feel this is a huge shame that so much money goes unspent when there is so much need, pain and suffering. There is need for urgent and sustained action in this sphere and improve people's ability to pay.
There is a desperate and timely need for in-depth study on why this is happening with clear-cut policy recommendations or the Prime Minister's Office's executive orders to fix this discrepancy.
Fixing this inefficiency issue is an essential step to make the government accountable to the people, and to at least make the sparse money available travel far. Investing in health for any country is actually a no brainer, and should be done on a war footing.

Culture Trip stands with
Black Lives Matter
This outdoor event has taken place in Amsterdam since 2012 and marks the beginning of the tulip season in the Netherlands. During the day, thousands of tulips are planted outside Amsterdam's Royal Palace, creating a massive, temporary garden that's completely free to enter. With National Tulip Day just around the corner, here is the lowdown for anyone interested in going to this incredible annual event.
Coordinators start to unload, then arrange tulips on Dam Square at around 8am and eventually plant approximately 200,000 flowers outside the eastern side of the Royal Palace. Even though most attendees arrive on Dam Square after the gardens have been completed, it is definitely worth stopping by before midday in order to watch the event's assistants work their magic. Getting there early also means that you will be among the first people to enter the gardens.
From 1pm until 4.30pm, the tulip gardens are open to the public and completely free to enter. During this time, visitors are encouraged to roam among the tulips, pick their favourite flowers and then create their own, personalised bouquets. For obvious reasons, the garden is also a great photo opportunity and it is common to see people crouching down to pose for selfies. Although there is an ample supply of tulips at the event, thousands of people attend National Tulip Day every year and the flowers start to become scarcer later in the day.
Although fresh tulips won't last forever, it is possible to memorialise National Tulip Day in Amsterdam by buying something more permanent, such as a vase from a local store. Fortunately, there are dozens of places around the city that stock elegant vases. For example Royal Delft Experience on Muntplein near Dam Square always has an impressive selection of delftware vases, including multi-spouted vessels that are specifically designed for tulips. The many antique dealers on Nieuwe Spiegelstraat also stock similar, but considerably older items, while design studios such as Droog, HAY or Fest all sell stunning, modern vases.

The K80 Personal Defence Weapon (often shortened to PDW) is a weapon unlocked at level 11. The PDW values pure killing power over ammunition: it has the highest rate of fire and damage per second of all weapons, but this extreme focus on firepower comes at the cost of ammunition capacity.
The K80 Personal Defense Weapon is a lightweight, fully automatic submachine gun. The K80 is issued in pairs for dual wielding and is designed to deliver extreme damage over a short time. Due to the high rate of fire, ammunition is quickly expended, so IAF Command recommends selection as a secondary weapon.
- Highest DPS weapon
- Very quick reload time
- Deceptively low amount of reserve magazines
- Very easy to run out of ammunition
- The biggest thing to note with the K80s is that reloading requires two magazines and not one. Thus, the K80 actually has 80x6 magazines which puts it as having less ammunition than the 22A3-1 Assault Rifle. Its damage does make up for this disadvantage, but a cautious eye must remain on how many bullets you have left.
- The extreme rate of fire and the damage it causes really mandates that the player controls their fire. Carelessly or needlessly spraying bullets when they are not needed is a big waste. Consider tapping the fire button and select targets which have one or more additional targets behind them so that when the burst kills the first target, the additional bullets in the spray will also strike a mark.
- True to its name, the K80 is an excellent defensive weapon, but it should not be used as a primary assault weapon as it will burn through its magazine in less than 3 seconds at full auto, giving the Swarm an opportunity to close the gap. Used cautiously, the K80 is excellent for Medics or Techs who may not always be fighting, but when they do, they can contribute a lot to the squad's firepower.
- Wildcat, whose character stats increase her base damage, increases the deadliness of this weapon to 300+ damage per second.
- The Ammo Satchel makes an excellent complement to the weapon's bullet-hungry nature.

The jihadi was filmed emerging from a tunnel, firing blindly, as coalition forces closed in on his hiding place.
Moments later, he realises there's no escape and blows himself up, killing nobody but himself in the blast.
Body parts are then scattered across the sands, in scenes to graphic to reproduce in full.
ISIS already declared a state of emergency in Mosul, its last Iraqi stronghold, in a bid to keep power.
Now, after US air and artillery bombardment, Iraqi Kurdish forces are closing in on the oppressed northern city.
Surrounding villages are already falling, and reports suggest ISIS jihadis are trying to use civilians as human shields.
Families trying to flee the city have reportedly been directed to buildings recently used by fighters which are targets for air strikes.
Resident Abu Mahir said: "It's quite clear Daesh has started to use civilians as human shields by allowing families to stay in these buildings."
President Barack Obama said today it would be a "difficult fight" but pledged the fanatical terror group would lose control of the city.
"The start of Iraqi operations to liberate Mosul is another major step forward. ISIL will be defeated in Mosul," he said.
He also said a plan was in place to deal with the humanitarian crisis likely to be revealed by the city's liberation.

Damn – She looks like a contestant from the Voice that just got axed on national tv. I won't lie, I'm the type of person that thrives off other people's sadness. I also love watching car crashes and train wrecks or anything that causes great stir in an otherwise typically boring day. I basically root for drama at the expense of others.
So this Miley video and all the commentary has my grin from ear to ear. The sun seems to be a bit brighter. And no, I'm not unhappy or miserable. I love living this way.
Me searching Lena Dunham quotes and looking like Charlie….
Ps: She still hasn't said a thing. I hope she's OK.

The 3rd necessity, the novelty requirement, prompts the designer to show that their invention is new in some way. An invention will fail this requirement when it is identical to a reference that's been previously designed to your invention. Put simply, if your patent might infringe on an existing patent, then it does not move this requirement. If the research is really a magazine or various other kind you've to question: if the magazine was given a patent, would your brand-new patent infringe?
In order for your invention to pass the fourth necessity, it must be unobvious. Your invention would be obvious if someone proficient in the area combined several previous references and came to your invention. Therefore, an invention cannot consist of a straightforward mixture of previous inventions; but, if the improvement of the inventions isn't regarded already identified, then it will soon be regarded unobvious. This is why that requirement can be extremely tricky. Therefore, in a nutshell, if an invention contains only clear differences from previous artwork, then it'll crash this requirement.
Inventions intrigue people. I'd opportunity to express, nearly universally. The further we determine an invention from being within our personal features to make, the more fascinated we're with it. I uncertainty I might have actually thought of the aerofoil. Actually easier inventions get from us a kind of applause for the champion that simply may have been me, had I been a little quicker. If the existing sticky-note inventor had not been created I am sure several other folks might have looked at it.
Many of us have heard the term, "requisite is the mom of invention." That presumably National proverb (actually it is significantly older) is accepted as a sufficient reason for inventions, while stating nothing at all about what "is" an invention. The German, in a curiously similar manner, claim "Fear is a good inventor." Actually Level Twain thought required to declare an abstract url to inventing when he said, "Accident may be the name of the greatest of most inventors." While prerequisite, anxiety, and accidents might all be observable and materially present preceding the emergence of an invention, none of the becomes an invention; nothing of those tells people how a person invents. At most useful, these phrases explain a catalyst or perhaps a motivator, they're maybe not total descriptions. They're not definitions.
The word "invention" means finding or discovery, if my introduction to Latin is of any value. This can provide us some perception originally but let's investigate whether that which is discovered is original or caused by some past input. The language of Friend Joshua Reynolds (1723-1792), both objective and sincere, appear worth study: "Invention strictly talking, is small higher than a new mix of these photos which may have previously collected and deposited in the memory; nothing may come from nothing." The main element argument proffered by Sir Joshua Reynolds is, nothing may come from nothing.
The written explanation necessity is distinctive from another checks since it has regarding filling out the patent rather than the invention itself. This ultimate necessity involves that an invention be defined in order that the others will be able to produce, use and realize invention help. You will find three needs in order to go about this. First, the enablement necessity says the creator must explain their invention in an easy method wherever others will make and utilize the invention. The very best style requirement requires an founder explains the way they prefer to carry out their invention's functions. The prepared description necessity doesn't have strict guidelines, and nobody is precisely positive what it requires; thus, to be able to meet it, it's best to express you should just identify your invention in just as much degree as possible.

Why invest in Antwerp?
The Port of Antwerp has a number of strengths to develop industrial and logistics activities into profitable investments. The proximity of customers and suppliers, the high productivity and excellent services mean the port is the beating heart of producing and consuming Europe. Add to that ample available space with a sustainable infrastructure and you are in the best place to realise your long-term investments.
In the heart of producing and consuming Europe
Investing in the Port of Antwerp means a strategic presence in the European crossroads of international supply chains, thanks to the port's central location near European consumption and production centres. The port offers "Extended Gateways" to all corners of Europe which are seamlessly connected to the port by rail, road, barge and pipeline, guaranteeing maximum and flexible access to the hinterland.
- rapid and flexible access to end customers and suppliers
- smaller carbon footprint
High productivity and excellent services
Companies active in transport, transshipment, storage, distribution and other services with a high added value continually invest in the training of workers and the latest handling techniques. This translates into qualitative services and the highest productivity in the Hamburg-Le Havre range.
- shorter lead time
- great care and quality control
- lower costs
- highly skilled and multilingual workforce
Available capacity and largest storage space
The Antwerp region has enough space for regional, European or world-wide distribution centres. The Port Authority provides the best possible support and infrastructure. Almost 4000 ha of land and quays are given in concession to private companies. With 610 ha of specialised, covered storage space, the port has more storage space than all other Northwest European ports put together.
- capacity expansion possible
- possibility of buffer stocks
- reliable infrastructure to transport products
Cooperation around sustainable energy
The Port of Antwerp aspires to use the available energy as economically as possible and to utilise renewable energy production from wind and biomass as much as possible. Investing in the Port of Antwerp is a sustainable investment.
- Higher climate performance.
- A certain and realistic energy cost.
- Advice and support for sustainable investment.
- An ambitious and efficient shift towards renewable energy (wind turbine park Antwerp Left Bank, solar power units).
- Energy saving by means of waste heat recovery.
Energy supply security
In close collaboration with the Antwerp Port Community, the Port Authority made a report with recommendations for the Flemish and Federal government. By means of these recommendations, the energy supply security should be guarantied for the future. The implementation of these recommendations is a continuous process between Port Community and Flemish/Federal policymakers.
Presence of Europe's largest chemical, industrial and logistics cluster
More than 300 different basic chemicals are produced in the Port of Antwerp. The Antwerp chemical industry has been able to develop into the biggest and most diverse chemical cluster within Europe thanks to the integration of industry, logistics and transshipment. The close co-operation between the different chemical producers and between the producers and logistics companies (co-siting), has resulted in an extremely energy and cost efficient production and freight handling. In addition, industrial companies continually invest in R&D thanks to close collaboration with leading research centres in Belgium.
- regular and diversified chemical cargo
- large offer of added value services for chemicals
- many collaboration possibilities in the field of production, co-siting, waste and energy management, transport
Investment climate in Antwerp, Flanders and Belgium

Winter WonderlandPosted in : announcements, Uncategorized on by : Jeanette Rueb
Happy New Year (almost), dear readers!
I haven't gotten to make anything yet, while on my vacation, and I figured reviews of chain restaurants (even if they're pretty good ones) and specialty sodas wasn't really what most of you would be looking for when you come here. Granted, what I'm about to give you really doesn't fit the bill either, but at least it's fun to browse.
Currently, I'm in Boise, Idaho, and it's a beautiful snowy wonderland here! Today, the boyfriend took me up to the foothills, where I took some nice pictures of of the snow-covered mountains and city. After a day taking photos in the frigid weather (it's about 18 degrees F here), we took a walk through my favorite place, the Idaho Botanical Gardens, which was all decked out in lights for a winter event (check out the cover photo; that's a view of some of the lights).
In lieu of a recipe, today, I'm presenting a photo gallery of the foothills. Hopefully, I'll have a restaurant review or a recipe soon. It's been a hectic few days of getting settled in, but it's been fun! We'll be back to normal programming before you know it. Chances are good that, once I get to Arizona, I'll make another photo post, though there are two restaurant reviews planned for there, too, I believe.
Without any further ado, I present to you — A Western Winter Wonderland (and some art):

In the sixties, abortion was illegal. At 17, I was pregnant. Not being of age, I was under control of my parents, my father to be exact. The boy's family and my father decided I had to have an abortion. No one told my mother. She probably would have objected. Nevertheless, it was decided for me.
The day I had the procedure, I was awarded entry into the National Achievement roles for academic achievement and my boyfriend was taking an exam at college. And I was in an illegal clinic. This day changed my life forever. It was the day I became rebellious. The anger colored my life for many years. I no longer trusted anyone anymore. I no longer accepted rules. It started my journey to find my voice, my own way.
Years later, I understood I would also never be able to conceive, never have children.
Then the world changed. Women's lib. Roe vs Wade. But I was stuck and sucked in to the overall events. Student protests. Vietnam. President Nixon. When bumper stickers "Love it or Leave it' became popular, I decided to leave. I worked and traveled the world, just to see how other people lived, how to create a life that was not like the one that was expected of me.
At the age of 71, I have come to accept. My focus has changed. I observe what goes on in the world, witness it, and know that everything changes. I still raise my voice to object to what I don't agree with, and support what I do. But like Edit Piaf. I regret nothing,

For an easy guide how to use our Plant Selection Filter see this helpful video by Peter - How To Use The Plant Selection Filter
For easy selection you can use the filter in the left margin to find what you are looking for. You can select from one or more attributes, for instance: Colour - Blue and then also select Pruning - Hard, this will show you all the Hard prune clematis which are all different shades of blue.
Clematis are a wonderfully diverse genius of plant. They have a wide range of flower size, colour and form, meaning there is a clematis plant for almost every taste and place in the garden. Clematis plants make wonderful companions and can be used very effectively to screen and hide objects and to enhance the colour and flowering of a host like roses, wisteria or shrubs. There are also herbaceous clematis which give very good summer colour and are very attractive to bees and insects and they are very easy clematis to grow.
Clematis are very diverse and so are their needs, therefore it is important to pay careful attention to the planting and location requirements, so do follow our clematis care guide and advice carefully to get the best out of your clematis plants.
We have a wide variety of different types of clematis plants for sale, many of these will be suitable for growing in patio containers, a useful list of our favourites is here.
As Featured on the BBC and Launched by Thorncroft Clematis at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show 2019.
This lovely new clematis was named after the newest addition to the royal family Meghan Markle after her marriage to Prince Harry on 19th May 2018 and was bred by New Leaf Plants.
Stunning dark purply-red summer flowers are produced in abundance May-June and again from late July-September, on the current season's growth.

The flowers of pale mauvey-blue have an almost white bar in the centre of the tepal and an almost luminescent quality to them as if they are alight.
Superb in sun or a slightly shady situation these flowers will brighten a dull corner in your garden.

I like to make all kinds of quilts, from postcard to king-size. I have a Gammill longarm quilting machine, several domestic sewing machines, and also work with a Babylock Embellishing machine. In the past few years, I have tried my hand at painting with watercolors and art journaling. I also throw in a little nature photography and the occasional travel or grandchild pictures. Thanks for stopping by!

Another Tropical Quilt
While the sign-up phase for my Tropical Quilt give-away is still going on, I thought I would show you another little beach-themed quilt. I purchased my Gammill Classic long-arm machine in May 2003, and then in June had foot surgery that kept me from using it for more than a month. I was desperate to quilt something, so I purchased a kit for this fun little beach scene quilt. I am fairly confident that it was from Batiks Etcetera online, although I do not see the pattern available there. I quilted it on my old Bernina 1260.
This scene reminded me of a wonderful trip to the Atlantis Resort in Nassau in 2001. I used a metallic and iridescent threads to add sparkle to the sea and sky. I added my own dolphin button to swim next to the two that are appliqued to the right border.
I have always liked this little quilt, even though it is not my original pattern. Sometimes you just have to make something because you need to be playing with fabric!

Automotive supplier focuses on US as one of the major production sites.
The vehicle component supplier fischer automotive systems has significantly increased its manufacturing capacity in the US. The motivation was the good business situation at the Auburn Hills/Michigan location. By acquiring buildings and carrying out comprehensive remodelling, the manufacturer of vehicle interior components has increased its floors space by 40 per cent.
The good business position of fischer automotive systems has enabled the company to expand its Auburn Hills location. The automotive suppliers kinematic components are been used in many different vehicles, ranging from SUVs to electric cars. An additional large-scale contract not only enabled the Michigan site to expand the facility but also contributed to a building technology upgrade and an improved logistics structure.
'Our US location is very important to us and this expansion allows us to strengthen this subsidiary and be well prepared for future marked requirements', says Johannes Konrad, Speaker of the Board of Directors for fischer automotive systems. Starting this October almost 7,000 sets will be produced daily. These contain heated and cooled cupholders as well as kinematic cupholders and storage compartments in all shapes and sizes. This would be equivalent to a 100 per cent increase in manufacturing capacity.
The production, logistics and administrative departments now have a total floor space of approximately 9,600 square metres available. Up until recently the available floor space was 5,600 square metres. The expansion was made possible by acquiring the two neighbouring buildings that had already been occupied by fischer automotive systems and which have now been connected to one large building. Remodelling began in late 2017.

Are you wondering if a Shar Pei Lab mix puppy is right for you?
Welcome to our complete guide to the Labrador Shar Pei mix!
The Shar Pei Lab mix is the result of a Shar Pei cross Labrador.
This cross breed is also known as a "Lab Pei."
Are you interested in acquiring a Shar Pei Lab mix dog as your next pet? The growing popularity of "designer" mixed breed dogs means that more and more people are looking into them as possible pets.
Labrador retriever mixes are especially popular, such as the Lab Poodle mix, known as the Labradoodle. The Shar Pei Labrador mix is less well known but appeals to many people seeking unusual mixes.
Is the Shar Pei Lab mix, or any designer mixed breed dog, the right pet for you? Anyone interested in a so-called designer dog should know about the pros and cons of mixed breeds.
In this article, we'll take a closer look at the controversy surrounding mixed breeds. Then we'll tell you all you need to know about the Labrador Shar Pei mix, so you can make an informed decision about getting one of your own.
Designer Mixed Breed Dogs
Mixed breed dogs used to be known as your run of the mill "mutts" a few decades ago. But in the past several years, designer cross breeds have become increasingly popular as pets.
The growth of social media has played a big role in this trend, with people posting cute pictures of mixes like the Maltipoo and the Pomsky, generating interest in this type of dog.
Because mixed breeds are popular, many people are offering them for sale on the Internet. It can be difficult to verify that these breeders are responsible and reputable.
Dog breed organizations like the American Kennel Club do not recognize mixed breeds or have official mixed breed clubs. Popular mixed breed puppies can come from large, for-profit breeding operations known as puppy mills.
High prices for designer mixed breed dogs are usually based on their popularity, not their overall quality or health. You can read more about this issue in the article "Purebred vs Mutt" here.
Speaking of health, what about the concept of "hybrid vigor" in dogs?
The Institute of Canine Biology notes that people assume purebred dogs are inbred, and hybrid vigor can be achieved by crossing two different breeds of dog.
This is true, but purebred dogs can also be healthy if care is taken by responsible breeders to use different genetic lines of the same breed in their dogs.
A puppy mill or other for-profit breeder of the Shar Pei and Lab mix might use unhealthy dogs from both sides in their breeding stock. This can cost you thousands in vet bills over your dog's lifetime.
Labrador Shar Pei Mix
The Labrador retriever is one of the most popular dog breeds in the world… and for good reason!
The Lab is a friendly, loving, and outgoing dog. Their charming personalities and love of play has made them the family dog of choice for many years.
Originally created as a working water dog in Canada, the Lab quickly became a favorite sporting dog. Retrievers like the Lab are used to gently retrieve small game like waterfowl brought down by a hunter.
The Lab is an energetic and active dog, always eager to please and ready to play. But what about the exotic Shar Pei?
The Shar Pei, sometimes called the Chinese Shar Pei, differs from the Lab in both appearance and temperament.
The Shar Pei is an ancient breed from China known for its loose wrinkly skin, short rough coat, and black tongue.
The personality of the Shar Pei is best described as devoted to its family but somewhat aloof and standoffish with strangers. It's not as active as the Lab and is generally not recommended for households with young children.
The Shar Pei Labrador mix is often called the Lab Pei. While any mixed breed dog can occur by chance, with the mating of any two dog breeds, the intentional Shar Pei x Lab cross as a "designer" mix goes back just a few decades.
Shar Pei Labrador Mix Appearance
The most important thing to keep in mind about physical traits of mixed breed dogs is that a cross can have any combination of either parent breed's characteristics.
Let's look at both breeds and then the cross.
The Shar Pei is a sturdy, medium-sized dog. Weight ranges from 45-60 pounds, and height at the shoulder is 18-20 inches. Males tend to be larger than females.
The Shar Pei has a large head characterized by those distinctive folds and wrinkles. The ears and eyes are small in comparison to head size.
The Labrador is also a strong, medium-sized dog. Weight is between 50-80 pounds and height is 21.5-24.5 inches, depending on gender.
The Lab's head is sleeker than the Shar Pei's, with larger ears and appealingly expressive and gentle eyes.
A Chinese Shar Pei Lab mix could have more of the physical characteristics of one breed or the other. There are no guarantees and it may be difficult to tell what your puppy will ultimately look like.
Generally, a Lab Pei is a medium-sized dog, weighing between 55-70 pounds and standing 18-25 inches in height.
The appearance of the face and head is important to many potential Lab Pei owners. People tend to seek a cute mixture of the Lab's sweet, expressive face with some of the Shar Pei's wrinkling.
Your individual puppy could favor one breed more than the other or resemble both somewhat equally. New owners should be prepared for any combination of traits.
Labrador Shar Pei Mix Coat
Coat characteristics and grooming requirements are important to many people interested in the Lab Pei. While both breeds have short coats, they differ in both texture and grooming requirements.
The Lab has a double coat, consisting of a soft thick undercoat and a dense weather-resistant top coat. Labs tend to be fairly heavy shedders, and they will lose their undercoats in warm weather.
Labs require regular weekly grooming and will need to be brushed a few times a week during shedding season.
Recognized Lab coat colors are solid yellow, black, and chocolate.
The Shar Pei has a short brush-like coat that requires less maintenance than a Lab's. However, a Shar Pei has unique grooming requirements because of the wrinkly skin. It's important to keep a Shar Pei's ears and skin folds dry and clean.
The coat color can be solid or sable (black tipped hairs). Solid Shar Peis can have some shading, but not patterns or markings.
The Lab Pei coat could favor either the Lab or the Shar Pei breeds or be a combination of both. Generally, it's short, straight, and somewhat rough. The color can be cream, light brown, dark brown, or black.
This means that whether you are looking for a yellow Lab Shar Pei mix, a chocolate Lab Shar Pei mix, or a black Lab Shar Pei mix, you can find one. Some Lab Peis may also have the sable tipping.
Shar Pei Lab Mix Temperament
As we've seen, the Shar Pei and Lab have very different temperaments. While the Lab is friendly with everyone, the Shar Pei can be more reserved.
What can you expect from a Shar Pei Lab Mix?
Given that the cross can have the characteristics of either or both parent breeds, it can be difficult to predict what a Lab Pei puppy's personality will be.
Overall, they tend to be independent, loyal, and protective of their families. New owners should not expect the stereotypical Lab personality with a Lab Pei.
The Shar Pei is a more challenging breed for novice dog owners. They can be stubborn and dominant. They don't always do well in homes with young children or other pets.
Your Labrador Shar Pei mix will require socialization and obedience training from an early age. Because Shar Peis are known as "difficult" dogs, finding a professional trainer who has experience with the breed is recommended.
Proper training and socialization is important for all dogs, even if your Lab Pei is more Lab-like in personality. Even a little of that Shar Pei independence will make training from puppyhood on essential.
Shar Pei Lab Mix Health
Is the Shar Pei Lab mix a healthy mixed breed dog? Both parent breeds have some well-known genetic health issues. Your Lab Pei could inherit health problems from one or both parents.
Here's what should you know about Labrador and Shar Pei health, and the health of Lab Peis.
Labradors can be prone to certain health conditions. These include hip and elbow dysplasia, a heart condition called tricuspid valve dysplasia, autosomal recessive muscular dystrophy, and an eye disease called progressive retinal atrophy.
There are genetic tests available for many of these health conditions. Responsible Lab breeders will test their breeding stock and avoid passing diseases on to future generations.
Your Shar Pei Lab mix breeder should provide proof that your puppy has healthy genetics on the Lab side.
The Chinese Shar Pei has several genetic health conditions that new owners should be aware of. Additionally, there are health issues which are inherently associated with the Shar Pei skin folds.
The unique Shar Pei head makes the breed prone to eye, ear, and respiratory problems. Conditions such as cherry eye, ear infections, and deflated muzzle are common.
A particularly aggressive type of mast cell cancer is often seen in the Shar Pei. They are also prone to a type of skin cancer called histiocytoma. Shar Peis should always be monitored for abnormal lumps and bumps.
The skin folds of the Shar Pei can lead to a serious skin condition called pyoderma. Pyoderma is a bacterial infection of the skin. While mild superficial cases are common in many breeds, Shar Peis can suffer from severe cases, due to moisture trapped in the skin folds.
What about the Shar Pei Labrador mix? Your Lab Pei can inherit health problems from both the Labrador and Shar Pei sides. Hip and elbow dysplasia and skin problems are the most common.
Reputable breeders will health test for dysplasia and provide buyers with certified test results. The skin issues can be more problematic, as pyoderma is associated with the Shar Pei wrinkles.
Your Lab Pei puppy may grow up to have deep folds or moderate folds. This can determine how serious the skin problems will be. Special care always needs to be taken with the skin, ensuring that it remains clean and dry.
Shar Pei Lab Mix Puppies
How do you find a Shar Pei Lab puppy? Shar Pei Lab puppies are available from breeders, but potential buyers need to be very careful about ensuring that they pick a reputable breeder.
It is always best to work with local, small breeders who welcome potential buyers into their homes. It's important to see the kennel, meet the breeder, and meet your dog's parents, if possible.
Your breeder should be able to provide you with genetic health test results. Not all health issues have genetic tests, but many do. For dysplasia, your breeder's vet will send x-rays to the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals to be officially graded.
Avoid buying a Lab Pei puppy sight unseen from a seller on the Internet. Your puppy could be coming from a large scale, for-profit breeding operation known as a puppy mill.
Breeding animals used in mills are often kept in inhumane conditions and are not health tested for genetic diseases. An unhealthy mill puppy could cost you many thousands in vet bills over the dog's lifetime.
It is possible to find an adult Lab Pei through an animal shelter or rescue group. Since they are not as common as some other Lab mixes, finding one may require patience.
Talk to reputable Labrador retriever and Shar Pei rescue organizations and let them know that you're interested in a Lab Shar Pei mix.
Animal shelter search engines like Petfinder allow potential adopters to narrow searches by breed. Unsure if your dog is a true Lab Pei? Genetic dog breed tests are widely available.
Is a Labrador Retriever Shar Pei Mix Right for Me?
As we've seen, there are some special considerations to keep in mind when thinking about acquiring a Lab Shar Pei mix.
Any mixed breed dog can inherit the physical and temperament traits of either parent breed. In the case of the Lab Pei, health and temperament are a particular concern.
A Lab Pei with excessive skin folds will require a significant amount of care to keep the skin clean and healthy. Other health concerns such as hip and elbow dysplasia, cancer, and eye disease should also be kept in mind.
A Shar Pei's temperament is very different from a Lab's. Potential owners should be careful not to assume that they will be getting a Lab Pei that perfectly combines the sunny Lab disposition with a few cute wrinkles!
There are no temperament guarantees with mixed breed dogs, and the Shar Pei can have a challenging temperament for novice owners. Good training and socialization is a must for the Lab Pei.
Unlike Labs, Shar Peis don't always do well in households with young children or other pets. A Lab Pei may do best as an only pet in homes with adults and older children.
Remember that a dog is a lifetime commitment, so before you fall head over heels in love with a Lab Pei, be sure to do your research and find a dog that's the right match for you!

jFTPSync FTP-site Synchronization and Backup Utility v184.108.40.206
jFTPSync Features:
jFTPSync is free and can be used and distributed without restriction.
I would be interested in hearing from you if you have suggestions for improvements.
You can download it here:
Download jFTPSync!
How to use jFTPSync
What jFileSync Does:
jFTPSync is primarily intended to provide a means for backing up SQLExpress databases
located on hosted web sites.
The problem with hosted web sites is that they can often contain hundreds of megabytes
of files that don't change very often and can be located on faraway servers accessible
only by low-bandwidth connections; thus, to completely back them up is a time consuming process.
jFTPSync provides a less painful system for backup of remotely hosted web sites. It
runs in the background on your local PC as a windows service and maintains a local list
of the files on your web site and the time/date that each file was last changed. If
during one of its periodic scans of your web site it detects a file that has been updated
(so that the time/date stamp of the remote file is newer than that it detected during its
last scan) then it copies the file down from the web site and remembers the file's new
time/date stamp. If any updated files were detected during a scan, then a list of updated
files is emailed to you.
The primary purpose of the program is to back up SQL Express databases which in
high volume web sites are often locked by the database engine and can't be copied.
To circumvent this locking issue, jFTPSync has the ability to call a web page before
it begins the sync process. This web page can perform a backup of one or more SQL
Express databases to a temporary location.
Some other features are:
Note that my hosting service uses Microsoft Windows Server 2003. This application uses the
WININET.DLL library in Windows to provide FTP services. I haven't tested the
application with non-windows FTP sites and am not sure if it will work properly.

This is not a great week for kid product recalls. Since it seems like costume jewelry for kids is routinely made of lead-infused materials — this stuff gets recalled all the time — let's just not buy any of it anymore.
The rings are part of a recall of 280,000 packages, so there are over 1 million of these rings out there. [details] And there are over 84,000 of these bracelets out there as well. [details] And that's just today's batch of recalled kid jewelry. I see similar recalls all the time. The danger of lead ingestion for kids is real and scary, so just keep this stuff out of your homes and complain to the stores that sell it.

New rule for PAYE/NI time to pay arrangements…
Author: Russell SmithSeptember 8, 2015
Nobody likes paying the PAYE/NI bill but if you are unable to pay your PAYE tax and NI bill you can contact HMRC on 0300 200 3835 and ask for time to pay arrangement i.e. pay your bill over a period of time (if you are a client, we will do this for you).
Since 1 August 2015, HMRC won't allow extra time unless you authorise your bank to allow it to take the installment payments by direct debit.
This won't affect time to pay arrangements before 1 August 2015.
There was a time when time to pay arrangements were relatively straightforward to agree with HMRC. They are now much harder with HMRC asking for much more information and being quicker to refuse.
If you are struggling on cash, the big tip is to speak to them early i.e. before the bill is due and have a clear idea of how long you want to pay the bill over.
