Prostate cancer patients who are obese or have metabolic syndrome undergoing RP may have a higher chance of recurrence of the disease.
Among men with prostate growth who experienced radical prostatectomy (RP), the individuals who were large had a higher danger of biochemical repeat, as indicated by the American Association for Cancer Research Special Conference Obesity and Cancer: Mechanisms Underlying Etiology and Outcomes, held Jan. 27-30.
A biochemical repeat was characterized as two continuous prostate-particular antigens (PSA) estimations of ≥ 0.2 ng/mL after prostatectomy, which is characteristic of the repetitive prostate tumor.
Past examinations connecting body mass index (BMI) and metabolic disorder to an expanded danger of repeat following RP have been dubious. To expand upon past research, Samiei and partners played out a vast report with a long-haul follow-up to direct a more extensive investigation.
Scientists led a review investigation of all RPs (1,100 surgeries) performed by two specialists at Allegheny General Hospital in Pittsburgh in the vicinity of 2003 and 2013. They broke down Gleason score, pathologic stage, pre-agent PSA, biochemical repeat time, surgical edge status, and metabolic components, for example, fasting glucose, triglycerides, cholesterol levels, including HDL, pre-agent BMI, and pulse.
Patients were ordered as having low, moderate, or high-chance prostate growth in light of neurotic arranging and evaluating of the malady. Metabolic disorder energy was resolved to utilize the World Health Organization (WHO) characterization, where no less than three out of the accompanying five components are at the same time exhibit in an individual – insulin protection or sort 2 diabetes, stoutness, elevated cholesterol or low HDL levels, high triglycerides, and hypertension. The normal age of the patient at analysis was 60 years, and the normal follow-up time was four years.
Among the patients considered, 34 percent were large, as characterized by BMI, and 19 percent had a metabolic disorder.
Samiei and associates found a higher level of fat patients in the high-hazard gathering (41.2 percent of high-chance patients) contrasted with fat patients in the low/transitional gathering (32 percent of low/halfway hazard patients).
Moreover, biochemical repeat was higher in patients with BMI ≥30 (32.4 percent) contrasted with patients with BMI <30 (16.9 percent). At last, patients with the metabolic disorder had more than four-crease expanded danger of biochemical repeat contrasted with those without a metabolic disorder.

A new wellness coaching action plan has been launched by Montreal coach, Lynda Hoffman. It focuses on how people can overcome limiting beliefs to achieve their wellness goals.
Lynda Hoffman, a wellness coach based in Quebec, has launched a new report on breaking free from limiting beliefs in order for a client to create the conditions for a vibrant life. She explains that limiting beliefs can hold people back from actually doing what they know they need to do to feel fulfilled and healthy.
The site explains that Lynda Hoffman is a Montreal, Quebec based wellness coach with a focus on holistic wellness and wellness coaching services, as well as life coaching for local clients.
She works with people struggling to build their self-confidence by identifying hidden commitments to maintaining a lifestyle that is no longer working for them. Once these hidden commitments are brought out into the open, the client can make a conscious choice to take new and different actions. In this way, the client gains confidence as they make progress and find strengths they did not know they had.
In her new report, Lynda explains that if someone has an element of their life that they’re unhappy with, it is likely that personal beliefs led them there. In order to spot self-limiting beliefs, people are encouraged to pay attention to the language they use.
The report focuses on how to spot these beliefs and how to overcome them so that people can set about achieving their goals in every aspect of their life.

Happened to learn about this, and it is sad you are only shipping within Canada. Please expand your deliveries to the neighbors!
Excellent customer service & so unique!
I had contacted the customer service team with some questions about the box and what ages would the box be suited for. They were very helpful and responded very quickly with the information I needed. My nieces love the box and were able to finish it almost all by themselves (very age-appropriate). The included parent guide is very helpful if they get stuck. The clues were so creative and varied that it didn't seem repetitive at all. The story was also very fun and engaging - my nieces couldn't wait to see what happened at the end. They're so excited for the next box and want to challenge themselves to do it all by themselves. I also think it's great that the company is run by parents who wanted a fun and hands-on activity for their kids to do and came up with Mystery Adventure Club. It's an amazing idea and we can't wait to see what they come up with next!
I purchased this for my nephew and he loved it! He loved that you got a big box delivered to him that had all of the supplies in it at once. It also provided him an opportunity to work with family, together to solve the mystery. It was enjoyed by all. I contacted MAC multiple times prior to purchasing and they were able to answer all of my questions quickly and efficiently. I had some confusion about the delivery of my product and they were quickly able to rectify the situation. Great customer service. We are both excitedly awaiting the next one!
I gave this to my nephew and he absolutely loved the concept. It’s a great way to get kids to think outside the box and it also gets them off their tablets and video games. Highly recommended!
Got this mystery box for my 9 year old, unsure what to expect. He LOVED it. It was challenging enough for him, but also easy enough that he wasn't getting frustrated. The contents were great quality (not cheap dollar store products) and the puzzles were varied that each one was exciting to do.
He loved it so much that he wants to get more of them. I highly recommend this gift as it entertains the child without screen time and gets them using all parts of their brain.
We have three kids 11 yrs (boy), 8 yrs (girl), and 7 yrs (girl), and they did the first mystery together as a group, along with dad. They enjoyed solving all of the puzzles, and were proud when they figured out how to finish a challenge. The younger one's were just spooked out enough by the story for it to be fun without making them outright scared. As soon as this one was over, they were asking when can we expect the next one!
What a great way to spend some time with kids. We bought one for our kids, 11 and 6 and they did it together. We also bought one for friends birthdays. Hoping they will love if as much as we did.
My husband and I have two young boys 4 and 6. We have purchased the full year subscription and just had the first box come to our home. We read all the clues to the kids and helped them go through the activity and they loved every minute of it.
We have already purchased the box to have it mailed to a a friend's kids 6th birthday.
I equate this activity to an adults escape room. So much fun and out of the box thinking. What a great idea to get kids away from electronic devices!
I emailed MAC with a few questions before purchasing, and I am so impressed with their customer service! My questions were more than answered and I felt very confident making my purchase afterwards. On top of that, my nephew had so much fun solving the first mystery, we can't wait for our next box!

text: We did the same thing about four years ago. We now use an antenna for our local channels, plus we get at least 100 other channels, many of which carry syndicated TV shows! We also have two Roku Twos, one for each TV. The Roku also has TONS of free channels. My son wanted Netflix, so he pays for that, and we have Hulu and Amazon Prime. Our costs were very low- we bought a large digital antenna that is outside for about $40 on sale, each Roku was about $40, Hulu is about $10 per month, and I don't factor in Amazon Prime, as I didn't get it for TV- That's just a bonus. We have saved thousands of dollars by doing this, and we really don't feel that we're missing out on anything!

In Lord Pirrie, whose death we announce on page 10, the country loses one of its greatest business men. If captains of industry are classifiable, as no doubt they are, as a type of their own, then it is in such men as he that we should look for the prototype. Primarily, he was known as head of Harland and Wolff, Limited, but his interests in ship owning were extremely wide. Only the other day Lord Kylsant regretted his absence from the meeting of the African Steamship Company, of which he was chairman. He was also a director of Elder, Dempster, and Co Limited, and he has exercised, although not always seen by the public, a very powerful influence on shipping. Last year, it will be recalled, an agreement was concluded between the White Star and Cunard companies for alternate sailings of the biggest trans-Atlantic ships during the “off season.” There is good reason to believe that this arrangement was largely due to the farsightedness of Lord Pirrie, who is a director of the White Star Line. Lord Pirrie had the vision to see that shipbuilding and shipowning could be closely connected with each other, and to this policy the remarkable success of Harland and Wolff in recent years has been largely due.
In spite of his age Lord Pirrie was in manner a young man. He was an extremely hard worker, and at the time of his death he was returning from South America, where he had been on a visit in connection with the port facilities available for the large new ships which are now being built for the Royal Mail Steam Packet Company by Harland and Wolff. It was evidently his enjoyment; of work which took him on that mission. On the, occasion of the recent trip of the new P and 0 liner Mooltan from Belfast to London Lord Pirrie seemed to be one of the youngest and happiest men on board. His buoyancy has long been the subject of admiration by younger business men, who envied him his possession of optimism and brilliancy. On various occasions Lord Pirrie has publicly paid tribute to the help which he has obtained throughout his cares from Lady Pirrie, from whom he was very rarely separated. She proceeded with him on his visit to South America, and accompanied him wherever he went, and is known to have taken the closest possible interest in his work and to have helped him vastly.
William James Pirrie was born in Quebec in 1847, the son of J.A.Pirrie of Little Clandeboyl, County Down, an Ulsterman, of Scotch extraction; his, mother was the daughter of another Ulster family, the Montgomerys. After his father’s death in Canada, his mother brought him back to Ireland and sent him to the Belfast Royal Academical Institution. When only 15 he entered as a premium apprentice the engineering and shipbuilding firm of Harland and Wolff, at Belfast. Of it he was destined to become the chief, and the firm in its turn under his leadership one of the greatest in the world.
The times were favourable. The most prosperous era which British industry has ever known, or perhaps will ever know, was mounting towards its zenith. In particular transatlantic traffic of every description was growing in volume year by year. In this traffic Harland and Wolff largely specialized, and from its earliest days they were associated with the White Star Line. Most of the White Star fleet were built by them from the first Oceanic of 3,000 or 4,000 tons in 1871 down to many of the monster ships of recent times.
In 12 years from his entry into the firm Pirrie had risen to a partnership, and thereafter played a dominant part in its affairs. He was admirably suited in spirit to the age in which he lived. The sympathies of his temperament flowed in much the same courses as the whole trend of human affairs at that period, and he was therefore able perfectly to appreciate the opportunities and liabilities of his business, with the result that he made on its behalf many shrewd moves and but few serious errors. - Big ship followed big ship. The Britannic in 1874 the Teutonic in 1889, the second Oceanic in 1899 of 17,000 tons, the Celtic in 1902 of 20,000 tons, the Cedric in 1903, and the Baltic in 1904, of more than 23,000 ton were all the largest or amongst the largest vessels of their time. Later still, came the Adriatic, followed in 1910 by the Olympic and her more famous and tragic sister, the Titanic.
He was extraordinarily successful in getting business. Of his ability to secure orders the following story is told. On one occasion a well-known shipping company asked, towards the end of a week, for tenders for the construction of a new liner from a number of leading shipbuilding companies. On the Monday morning there were written replies from all the shipbuilding companies with the exception of Harland and Wolff. When the letters were received, Lord Pirrie was closeted with the head of the company and secured the contract. He never allowed the grass to grow below his feet. In the industrial and mechanical sphere, therefore, Pirrie’s name must always be identified with a half-century of most remarkable adventure and progress, though it is as yet too soon to estimate the true value of its contribution to civilization as a whole.
A Conservative at heart, although he favoured the Home Rule cause - a circumstance which once, at least, brought him into violent conflict with the Orangemen - Lord Pirrie never sat in the House of Commons, though he played a considerable part in local affairs. He was Lord Mayor of Belfast, 1896-7, High Sheriff of Antrim, 1898, and of Down, 1899, and he had the distinction of becoming the first honorary Freeman of Belfast in 1898. He was also at various times Pro-Chancellor of Queen’s University, Comptroller of the Household to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, a member of the Road Board, and a member of the Committee on Irish Finance. In 1911 he was made Lord Lieutenant of the County of the City of Belfast.
During the latter part of the war he was Controller of Mercantile Shipbuilding, and the task of drawing up the programme for repairing the losses which our merchant shipping had suffered fell in large measure to him. Merchant ship building in the United Kingdom was then in a very unsatisfactory state, and a stimulus to increased production was urgently needed. He went to the Admiralty without any staff and, as a war measure, a large number of standard cargo steamers were built in British yards under his authority and with his active management. The standard ships, for which the original programme had been laid down by the Shipping Controller, were built for account of the State, and were subsequently sold to the shipping industry. Lord Pirrie, on his appointmerit, gave close attention to the speedy repairing of torpedoed ships, and improved the organization.
Lord Pirrie was made a Privy Councillor in 1897 in Ireland and in 1918 in Great Britain, was created a Baron in 1906, and was raised to a viscounty in 1921.He was also a Knight of Saint Patrick. Lord Pirrie married, in 1879, Margaret M., daughter of John Carlisle, of Belfast, but leaves no issue, and his peerage in consequence becomes extinct.

The world without a doubt is really a attractive photobooth rental san diego location that has various wonderful sights, some organic whilst some man-made. With photography it’s now achievable to capture this natural beauty using a camera.
Along with the arrival of technology, images fanatics are in a position to boost the standard of your images they simply click. One these kinds of gadget that assists them to complete so is really an intervalometer, which is generally a tool plugged into a digicam for counting intervals of time. In photography time is of essence. The quality, creativity and aesthetics of the image rely upon no matter whether an image was taken at the right minute. A hold off of even a split second could cause a photographer to fail in capturing the right minute. These devices are frequently utilized to indicate or sign other gadgets to get started on an operation at unique time intervals. For example an intervalometer may well activate yet another gadget following just about every thirty seconds. It finds ample application in several fields that even features armed service operations.
In terms of pictures is worried, these units are mostly employed for bringing out exposures, usually in a time lapse series. Exposures are mainly the amount of sunshine that is definitely permitted to slide on just about every unit on the place of the medium being photographed, normally an image sensor or perhaps a photographic film, through the strategy of getting a photograph. Extra often than not, the target of making use of this machine is usually to slash down on the methods a person needs to either just take an image or to post-process it, as very similar photos might be received by enabling the camera to consider pictures as promptly or quick as is possible. Using an intervalometer allows the restriction on the images taken to only those that have the demanded material. This does absent while using the will need for resources for instance storage media just like a memory card.
In addition to becoming employed for triggering exposures, these equipment may also be useful for several other purposes in pictures. To start with, men and women can shoot images for stacked compositions with it. It could even be useful for capturing blurred illustrations or photos with very long shutter pace.
For taking delayed photographs as well as generating self portraits where by the digital camera normally takes one particular photograph each one.five minutes or simply every single second, just like an iPhone’s Photobooth application. For instance, as normally DSLR cameras are confined to shorter exposure of roughly thirty seconds as well as less, they use an intervalometer to get photographs with exposures of more time than 30 seconds, together with the ‘bulb’ within the product. Actually, pretty prolonged exposures can be managed to choose shots at nighttime and develop consequences like star trails, animation or maybe astro-photography to showcase the effect of heavenly bodies during the sky during the night time like a nebula or even a galaxy. These equipment also locate application in aerial photography which includes delaying the time demanded to acquire an image by an unattended digital camera of a relocating vehicle or body.

Soft and smell sweet. Remember to handle them carefully – their fragile skins bruise easily. Figs will not ripen after being harvested so avoid very firm figs as they will not ripen further.
Store fully ripened figs unwashed in a plastic bag in the refrigerator for up to 2 days; bring to room temperature before serving.
Figs are usually eaten whole, skin and all. There is no need to cut the fig into smaller pieces or to remove the seeds. Just wash the fresh figs in cold water.

Oatmeal is a whole grain, and eating whole grains can lower your risk for several diseases, including high blood pressure and type 2 diabetes. Oatmeal also contains lignans, a plant chemical that has been found to prevent heart disease. The food label on your package of oats should list one ingredient: whole grain oats. Avoid prepackaged oatmeal that may be high in both sodium and sugar and lower in beneficial fiber. The Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2010 recommends eating whole grains to reduce your risk of cardiovascular disease. In addition, whole grains such as oats are a source of iron, magnesium and B vitamins.
Eating oatmeal can lower your cholesterol, especially your LDL, or “bad” cholesterol. If you’ve been diagnosed with high cholesterol, consider adding oatmeal to your daily menu. MayoClinic.com even recommends oatmeal as one of the top five foods to eat to improve your cholesterol numbers.
Oatmeal is a source of fiber. That means when you eat oats for breakfast, you’re going to feel full for a long time. Breakfast foods high in sugar and fat can make you feel full for a brief period, but then you’re hungry again. A breakfast smoothie, consisting of blended oats, fruit and ice, can satisfy your hunger easily until lunch.
If you’ve tried oatmeal before and didn’t like it, reconsider. Combining fruit or nuts with your oats while they’re cooking adds more nutrients. Spices like cinnamon and nutmeg give great flavor to your oats. Limit any sugars and let the natural flavor of the fruits and spices take over. Blend your oats with different fruits into a healthy oatmeal smoothie. Because oatmeal is such a beneficial food, try to find a different way to eat it every day.

Can You Be A Host Family For the GJ Rockies?
The Grand Junction Rockies will start their 2017 season in less than three months and they are wondering if you could be a host family this year.
Being a Rockies' host family essentially you are providing a home away from home for a prospective big league ball player during the baseball season. Players report to Grand Junction the second week of June and the season will wrap up in early September.
During the season, the Rockies are on the road for half the games so being a host family means you have a house guest for about 45 nights.
These are young people hoping to one day make it to the majors, so having a comfortable place to be when they aren't engaged in baseball activities is essential to their development and adjustment to life as a professional baseball player.
Hosts families receive tickets to Rockies' home games at Suplizio Field, host family functions, and, who knows - may be instrumental in the life of some future hall-of-fame player.
If you are interested in being a host family for the Grand Junction Rockies and giving a young player a place to hang his hat, contact the Rockies front office at 970-255-7625 or Tim Ray at 970-250-2057.

Nothing but the best tempered steel is used in casting these Gorilla chrome lug nuts.
Accurate Gorilla engineering ensures precision fitting when it comes to any make and model .
Product as specified good quality and workmanship.
I wasn't able to get the locals to help, called and left message and within the hour had a call back and my questions answered and lug nuts ordered...Thanks Guys!!!!!
When I replaced the 7" steel wheels on my Toyota T100 with 8" aluminum wheels, i needed to use 1/4" spacers to provide clearance for the front tie rod ends. Therefore I lost 1/4" of stud threads for the lug nuts. Rather than replace all of the studs, I installed these extended reach lug nuts instead. This option was much easier and less expensive than replacing all of the studs, and the lug nuts look much better than the stock ones. I am very pleased with the quality of the construction and the chrome finish. They fit perfectly, and the 3/4" across the lands allows any lug wrench or impact socket to fit in deep recessed lug nut holes of my wheels. The only reason I gave these four stars instead of five is because i would have preferred a little more length of the nut head, to aid in starting the nuts by hand. A longer head length was available in a larger head size, but I needed the 3/4" head size for lug wrench clearance in the wheel.
Would have liked to have a little longer extension of the hex head to be able to more easily start the nuts by hand. The lug nut holes on my wheels are deep making it difficult to get the nuts started with just my fingers. This is not a big concern, since I can use a deep well socket to get them started by hand. Extended head length was available in a larger nut head size, but those would only allow me to use a thin wall socket to install.
Perfect fit, exactly as described, fast shipping.

The new generation of AMD Radeon 300 dedicated graphics is close to being released. AMD needs to regain lost ground to NVIDIA after a devastating end of 2014 for AMD, by dropping to an alarming 24 percent in the dedicated graphics niche and staying in an overall 35% this year compared to 64% of NVIDIA.
The top model (single core) would be the Radeon R9 390X. A model that could be marketed under the name Fury X and it is noted for its use of HBM memories, whose performance and efficiency is higher than the GDDR5.
It would include 8 Gbytes for a large bandwidth and a more refined version of CoreNext graphics architecture. It would have 4096 stream processors and its graphics core would operate at a frequency of 1050 MHz. Its price of $389 is very restrained for its power level, like the rest of models that would cover all performance levels.
We need to know if all AMD Radeon 300 models will be of new or renamed from previous generation architectures, and remember that these prices are rumored and we will have to wait for the official launch that will occur on June 16. For now, they seem good.

Howdy y’all! I’m Emma Uecker, and I have been an employee of WPGR since the summer of 2014. I, along with most of us here on the ranch, wear many “hats”. I work in the barn and out on trail rides mostly during the summers, but I also do housekeeping, work in the kitchen, and do whatever odd jobs that need to be done. During the winters, I bounce between kitchen/waitress staff and learning how to drive the draft horses outside. I started my journey with WGPR by taking riding lessons from Janice herself when I was 10 years old. After that, horses immediately became my passion. My first horse, Zipper, was actually one of their horses that I took the majority of my lessons on, rode for their horse camps, and participated in Horse 4-H with. Taking lessons with Janice turned into attending and completing 4 consecutive years of WPGR’s summer Youth Horsemanship Program. After “graduating” from the horse camps, I babysat Danielle’s two adorable kiddos for a few years, which was when I learned how to change diapers, and Danielle gave me some Fiddle lessons in return. When I was 16 years old, I got the call I had been waiting for… the offer to be a Jr. Wrangler for the summer! I was a Jr. Wrangler for the next 3 summers learning the ropes, and in 2017 I became a licensed Wrangler. When I’m not at WPGR, I’m riding my own horses at home which is about 45 minutes south of the ranch. The WPGR staff is my second family, this is my second home, and I truly love my job. Thanks for taking the time to get to know me, and I hope to get to know you while sharing this little piece of Heaven with you! Happy trails!
Hello. I have been employed at the Ranch since 2005. My first job was washing dishes and keeping the wood box full. As the years passed I began taking on more responsibilities and jobs. Now I do pretty much anything you could think of. From taking out the trash to building barns and yes I still have to keep the wood box full. Along with working at the ranch, my wife Libby and I live there as well. Roley and Janice are my parents which means I am a fourth generation rancher. Horses have always been a part of my life, for as long as I can remember I have been riding. Currently, I am a Wrangler and also help train the young horses on the ranch. So come take a ride!
“Howdy Folks”. My name is Kim Dana and I have been working at the ranch since 2011. I started during the sleigh ride season, as one of the drivers. When I’m not driving the drafts you can find me helping where ever the ranch needs an extra hand. During the summer months I trade my driving lines in for a set of bridle reins and the wagon seat for a seat in the saddle as a wrangler. When not at the ranch I am at home, which is south of town. I have been married to a wonderful man; John since 1998 and we have one son named Cody. For as long as I can remember I have been blessed to be involved with horses. I was around 15 when I learned to drive draft horses and I did some showing with them for several years. i had a saddle horse of my own and mainly did trail riding with them; so I can say I grew up with the best of both. Recently I have started learning the discipline of reigning, I am looking forward to all the fun and experience along the way. So there’s a little about me, I am looking forward to meeting you and learning a little about you. See ya’ll soon!
Well Howdy! My name is Liz and I’ve been working at Western Pleasure Guest Ranch since 2015. I, like Kim, started in the Winter driving the big horses. And started as a Wrangler in the Summer of 2018. I have a long history with driving horses. I started showing driving horses when I was 10 with a local family and instantly fell in love. I have worked with several different breeds and show hitches in the US and Canada. I also worked with a breeding program that breeds and raises the famous Budweiser Clydesdales! My love for driving doesn’t outweigh the passion I have for riding though. I enjoy trail riding, packing and overnight camping on my horses but my heart is all about barrel racing. I have traveled all over the West competing in rodeos. I definitely have a need for speed! I have even tried to dabble in roping but I usually just end up roping myself! I have 2 beautiful daughters Kelly and Bailey who both share my passion with horses, a wonderful family and I love everything outdoors. If I’m not riding you can find me kayaking, gardening, boating, shooting, camping, hiking or just soaking up all the beautiful views. I look forward to getting to know each one of you and sharing this beautiful part of the country. So bring your hat and get ready to build memories of an adventure because the best part of memories is making them!
Hey! My name is Patricia, I have been working at Western Pleasure since 2011. I started coming to the kid's camps and from there moved to babysitting Danielle's children. After that, I did a little bit of everything, from working in the kitchen, housekeeping, Jr. Wrangling, and finally Wrangling. I started riding when I was 9 and quickly joined 4-H horse (at Western Pleasure of course) and from then on I was hooked. I grew up south of Sandpoint on an Organic tomato farm (just tomatoes, and lots of them), I love anything outdoors and love spending time with my personal horse out on the trail. My favorite kind of rides involve lots of bushwackin’ (finding new or unexplored trails that may have a little brush to work through). I am currently going to college and studying to be a Nurse. Look forward to riding with you!

In Form 5 the children have been describing the Borrowers. Working from an image of Arrietty in her bedroom, they used lots of adjectives to write about Arrietty and her room.
It's Anti-bullying week so we have been discussing this important topic. The children listened to an assembly from Form 4 and, in form time, we've been talking about what bullying is and what to do if we think someone we know is being bullied or if we are bullied ourselves.

Apple really wants to get it's stores in India. If 30% Made in India is the key, so be it. Without those brick & mortar stores, I doubt Apple will ever gain a significant foothold in India.
So why are they planning to manufacture a discontinued phone?
To help keep prices low. If sales are right they will progress to newer models it seems.
It is discontinued only in US, not in the rest of the world. For example, iPhone 6 was discontinued from US couple of years ago, but was heavily marketed by Apple in Europe and Asia for much longer period. in fact, it is still being assembled in India and being sold here in India.

Explore our tips and advice for every aspect of your pets care and enjoy the benefits of a companion who is happy, healthy and content.
Creating a comfortable, cozy and safe environment at home for your dog will help ensure they remain happy, healthy and content.
“Be it ever so humble, there’s no place like home.” That age-old proverb applies to both humans and dogs. Just as your home is your refuge and your haven, so it is for your dog.
But just as you put effort into making your home safe and comfortable for the human members of your family, you can do the same for the canine members of your family.
Is your pet an indoor dog or an outdoor dog? Most dogs thrive in an indoor environment. Dogs are pack animals, and you are a member of your dog’s pack. So it can be stressful for your dog to be separated from you for long periods, as outdoor dogs tend to be.
But sometimes it just doesn’t work for the dog to live indoors. If that’s the case with your dog, make sure that its outdoor home consists of a structure that is dry and comfortable. The structure should be shaded from the sun, and sheltered from wind.
And keep an eye on the thermometer.
Cold weather is uncomfortable for dogs, just as it is for humans. The ideal situation for your outdoor dog is to provide it with a heated shelter. If you can’t do that, then consider bringing the dog inside during cold snaps. But hot weather can be dangerous too. Watch for excessive panting on hot days, provide plenty of water, and consider providing a plastic children’s pool for cooling off.
Indoor dogs obviously don’t have to face the same temperature extremes as outdoor dogs, but they still have specific needs. Your dog should have it’s own space, whether that’s in the form of a crate, a kennel, or a bed.
Both indoor and outdoor dogs need to have boundaries. No digging in the garden, for example, or crawling into an open dishwasher to lick the plates!
Physical barriers such as fences can help to enforce boundaries. But for indoor and outdoor dogs, boundary training can also be an effective means of control. For outdoor dogs, boundary training supplemented with physical restrictions like fencing will minimize the possibility of your dog venturing beyond its permissible bounds. And indoor dogs can very effectively be taught to remain clear of ‘forbidden’ areas with boundary training.
Human medications. Some common medications can be very dangerous for dogs. And some dogs can be very creative when it comes to opening a stray pill bottle. So be sure to keep all forms of medication physically out of reach.
Plants and flowers. Some of the plants and flowers that grow in your yard or decorate your house may be poisonous to your pet. Be aware of the plants that are within your dog’s environment, and do a bit of research to assure that they aren’t hazardous to your dog’s health.
Food. If your dog lives indoors, it may occasionally have access (or may constantly be attempting to GET access!) to people food. But there are foods that – though scrumptious to you – are deadly poison to your dog. Preventing all unintentional access to food will obviously eliminate that concern. But if you occasionally like to treat your dog with people food – better clear it with the vet first.
Toxic chemicals. Housecleaners, detergents, fertilizers, insecticides, weed-killer, antifreeze – the list goes on and on. Whether inside or outside, there’s a chance your dog could have a fatal encounter with a toxic chemical unless YOU make certain it can’t happen.
There really is no place like home. With a bit of effort and knowledge, you can make certain that that’s always the case for your furry friend – and in a good way.
Many people feel that a house only becomes a home when a cat lives there. Here are some benefits to cat ownership which will surprise even the most devoted of cat-people.
If your family includes a cat, you’re in good company. Cats are popular pets and they bring much love and joy to their human companions. In fact, according to a recent ACAC study, more than two million of them share our homes across Australia.
The most common reason to keep a pet is for companionship, so this benefit won’t come as a surprise to anyone. People who don’t have a cat in their lives often believe that cats are unsocial, distant pets. If you’ve ever been the recipient of an affectionate head-bunt from a friendly kitty, you know that the “unsocial” myth is indeed a myth. Cats are not the solitary animals that they had been believed to be.
Cats might not need much exercise, compared to dogs and rabbits, but they do like to play with their human companions. Tossing a toy mouse around the living room can get you moving a bit, too.
People sometimes accuse their friends of turning their pet into a substitute child. By replacing a child or younger sibling as “something to nurture”, a pet often does serve that need. In today’s smaller families, that isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Everybody needs somebody to love, furry or otherwise.
It might be noticed more with dogs, but children who grow up with cats appear to have more practice with considering what other people are thinking and feeling. This experience ofempathy helps children learn to relate to other people, and to consider their actions in light of how those actions will affect others.
Petting a cat who’s curled up and purring on your lap is a great way to lower stress and blood pressure. In fact, recent studies have shown that the frequency (or the “pitch”: how high or low the purr sounds to you) of a cat’s purr helps bones and muscles to heal after an injury.
Earlier discharges from the hospital, fewer times when visits to the doctor’s office are needed, and lower levels of stress overall are some of the benefits that some researchers have found. Having a cat might also lower your risk of heart disease more than going on a low-salt diet would do, if current research proves to be true.
Even when social status, income level, and location are taken into account, many studies still showed a measurable advantage to having a pet such as a cat.
Of course you wouldn’t adopt a cat only because you know that keeping a pet is good for your health. A cat is a big responsibility. These benefits are just more reasons for you to love that pet.
Does your dog have bad breath? Are their teeth clean? We take a look at the importance of proper dental care for your dog and share some tips to help ensure their mouth stays clean and healthy.
Statistics suggest that over 80% of dogs have some degree of dental disease by the time they are 3 years old. Your dog can’t tell you when he has a toothache, so it’s essential that you take steps to keep his teeth clean. While your veterinarian does play a role in keeping your dog’s sparkly whites in good health, there is much you can do at home to prevent dental disease.
When you bring your new canine family member home at 8 weeks of age, he’ll have a full mouth of sharp baby teeth. There isn’t anything you need to do for these teeth, but it’s a good idea to get your pup used to having his mouth examined and his teeth cleaned. Make a game of opening his mouth, looking at his teeth and giving them a gentle rub with a soft toothbrush.
His temporary teeth will start to fall out at around 4 months of age and by 7 months he’ll have all of his permanent teeth in place. This is when you need to get serious about dental care, because these teeth need to last him for the rest of his life.
One of the first indicators that your dog’s teeth need attention is that his breath smells bad. As his dental disease progresses, he may drool and paw his mouth, and he may have trouble eating.
There are a number of things you can do to keep your dog’s teeth and gums in good condition. Bearing in mind your pet uses all his teeth for different purposes, sometimes using a combination of things works best. Not all teeth will accumulate tartar at the same rate and this can be dependent on factors like how your dog chews and whether there is good alignment of the teeth.
Dogs use their large, pointy canine teeth (fangs) at the front of the mouth for grabbing a hold of something (eg. a prey item if they were hunting, or a big bone or toy), but don’t use them for chewing. The best way to look after canines is with brushing, as these are the easiest to get to.INCISORSThere are 12 incisors in total. These are those little single-rooted teeth at the front and are mainly used for grooming and sometimes for delicate chewing (or snipping off a mouthful of grass). These are also very easy to brush and can also be kept clean with water additives.PREMOLARSBehind the canines are the sharp premolars. These multi-rooted teeth are used for cutting large food items. They number 16 in total (4 on each side top and bottom). You will notice that most dogs move larger food items to the back where the cutting teeth are. The best way to keep these clean is by brushing and using a dental food or chew.MOLARSThe larger 10 flat molars at the back are ideal for grinding up hard dry food. Using dental biscuits keeps these healthy and clean, they can be a bit tricky to brush since they are so far back.
There are various additives you can add to your pet’s drinking water that can reduce tartar formation. They do work best as a preventative, so should ideally be introduced when your dog is young or just after a dental clean. We recommend using one that has the Veterinary Oral Health Council (VOHC) seal of approval, like Healthy Mouth.
Chewing can really help to keep your pet’s teeth healthy, particularly those premolars. But we do want to recommend safe chewing. There is certainly much debate on the safety of bones in dogs and as vets we probably see the what goes wrong with bones, more than what goes right. We see countless broken, chipped and damaged teeth from dogs chewing bones. A bone that is strong enough to hold up a 1 tonne animal (cow), or even a 100kg animal (sheep) is pretty tough. And raw chicken bones are a huge choking hazard and with intensive chicken farming practices a great way to get a salmonella or e.coli infection.
The only chews that has the VOHC seal of approval are Greenies. Rawhides or pig’s ears and dehydrated chews are safer than bones, but may not do a particularly good job of cleaning teeth for many pets. Whatever your pet chews, they need to be able to sink their teeth right up to the gum line, so usually things like Kongs and Nylabones are not a good way to prevent periodontal disease (even though they are good for other reasons!).
There are a number of diets now available to help prevent tartar formation. They help by mechanically brushing the teeth, as they are formed with larger pieces. They also have ingredients that help prevent gingivitis and the build-up of plaque. Your veterinarian may recommend a prescription dental diet like T/D. Dental diets are best fed as sole-diets, but there is still some benefit in mixing them in with your pet’s regular food. There are a number of diets that make claims to prevent dental disease, however to ensure they do what they say, we recommend choosing a diet from the VOHC list to ensure the claims are backed up by evidence.
If your dog is accustomed to having his mouth examined, your vet can examine his teeth every 6 months during a physical exam. It may not be possible to probe around the teeth with a dental probe to check for pockets between the tooth and gum, but your vet can assess for tartar accumulation, gingivitis and tooth fractures.
Your home care will help to prevent plaque and tartar from accumulating on your dog’s teeth but it won’t get rid of what’s already there. Even with regular brushing, as humans we need to visit the dentist every 6 months. The same goes for our pets.
A regular dental scale and polish every 6 – 12 months is the key to keeping all your pet’s teeth and avoiding unnecessary and costly dental extractions.
Once teeth have disease around the gums and significant pockets of infection around gum line, the damage to the ligaments holding the tooth in the jaw is usually irreversible, which is why sometimes teeth need to be removed. If damaged teeth aren’t removed they will just serve as a source for further infection down the track.
WHAT DOES A DENTAL INVOLVE?
When we go to the dentist we are happy to sit back in the chair, keep our mouths open and we would most likely not bite our dentist as they work. Unfortunately pets are designed a little differently, their mouths do not open as wide and even the most well behaved dog will not allow a full dental exam and clean. It is impossible to properly clean your pet’s teeth without having them under anaesthesia and safely intubated to protect their lungs from inhaling stray bits of tartar and bacteria during the clean.
Your pet is anaesthetised and an endotracheal tube is placed to ensure no plaque, bacteria or fluid gets into your dog’s lungs.
Each tooth and the surrounding gum is checked with specialised probe to ensure there are no deep pockets between the gum and tooth.
Any teeth that have periodontal pockets of more than 3mm are xrayed to check the bone around the tooth.
The teeth are scaled with an ultrasonic scaler, like what your dentist uses.
Should any teeth be found to be unhealthy (and therefore painful) they can be removed at the same time using a local anaesthetic block, sectioning and gentle elevation to remove the tooth with minimal trauma.
All teeth are polished to ensure the surface is smooth and less likely to attract plaque.
Your pet is recovered from anaesthesia safely with continual nurse observation.
WHAT HAPPENS IF MY PET HAS MISSING TEETH?
For most dogs, they are significantly more comfortable after having diseased and damaged teeth removed. Even if all their teeth are gone, they will have no trouble eating, in fact we find most dogs have a new leasee on life once those teeth that have been aching for years have finally been treated.
Lets face it, many pets do very little chewing anyway, dogs have evolved to get that food down fast, with just the bare minimum of mastication.
Root canals and crowns are now a regular part of veterinary dental care. Dr. Christine Hawke from Sydney Pet Dentistry regularly repairs damaged teeth with advanced dental methods that your normal GP may not be able to perform. Perhaps pet braces are also in the future for those pets with the less-than-perfect smile.
With the right home care and support from your veterinarian, your dog will enjoy a clean, healthy mouth and fresh breath. Dental care for pets has advanced significantly over the last few years and your dog can enjoy similar treatments to those available to you. The link between dental disease, kidney and heart disease has long been recognised in humans. A pet with healthy teeth has the best chance of avoiding chronic illness and living a happy, healthy life full of sweet smelling doggy kisses.
Cats are capable of reproducing at a rapid rate, particularly during the summer months. Desexing can prevent the production of many kittens that may not find a home and it is an important part of keeping your cat healthy.
Most cats are desexed at around 6 months of age, before they develop any unwelcome behaviour such as spraying urine or wandering. The procedure to desex a male cat is extremely straightforward, with the testicles removed through two tiny incisions in their scrotum that don’t need suturing. Female cats have both ovaries and uterus removed through a small incision either on their abdomen or on their flank.
Tom cats are territorial, and their territory doesn’t stop at their fence line. They wander the neighbourhood in search of a girlfriend and in the process get into fights with other cats intent on defending their own turf. The result is bite wounds and painful abscesses and the chance of being infected with feline immunodeficiency virus, or feline aids. They may also be hit by a car, or get into a tussle with a dog; in both cases they are not likely to come out on top.
Spaying can protect your female cat from breast cancer and unexpected pregnancies. You can expect your feline friend to reach puberty anytime from 5 months of age. She’ll be on heat for about a week and if she doesn’t become pregnant, she’ll be back on heat again in 2-3 weeks. While she is on heat, she will yowl and roll and be extra affectionate, and you’ll have stray tom cats fighting for her affections in your garden. If your cat is mated and falls pregnant, she can be on heat again as soon as a week after giving birth, and may become pregnant again. You can see that before long, you could have your hands full with more kittens than you know what to do with.
Your cat can have dinner as usual the night before his desexing, but he shouldn’t have anything to eat or drink on the morning of his surgery. This avoids him inhaling food or water should he vomit at any time.
After his surgery, he will wake up in a comfortable hospital cage and when he is back on his feet, he’ll be able to go home with you.
When he arrives home, you can offer him a small meal but don’t worry if he isn’t interested. He may be feeling a little nauseous after his anaesthetic. You can expect him to be more interested in food after he’s had a good night’s sleep.
Male cats recover from desexing surgery very quickly and are back to normal within a day or two. Females have had a more invasive procedure and need to be kept quiet for 10 days to allow their incision to heal. This isn’t easy at all, as they feel just fine and want to run around and play. If they are too active, their surgical site can swell and become painful. Skin sutures can be removed by your vet after 10 days.
During the post-operative period, your vet will be happy to answer any questions you may have about your cat’s recovery. If you have any concerns, they are just a phone call away and will be able to set your mind at ease.
Pet cats, both male and female, should be desexed not just to prevent unwanted litters and to avoid illness or injury, but to avoid the less pleasant behaviours associated with their reproductive cycle.
We explore the common causes of arthritis in cats and methods for ensuring your feline senior citizen remains comfortable and pain free.
It’s not always easy to tell if your elderly cat is suffering from arthritis because the symptoms are subtle and slow in onset. He’s not likely to show an obvious limp, so you need to look for other indicators that he’s having trouble with mobility. You may notice that he won’t jump up as much, and he may be less enthusiastic about being stroked or brushed. He may even start to go to the toilet outside his litter box if he finds it hard to climb over the sides.
While dogs are quite happy to have their legs manipulated to identify where it hurts, cats are much less so. This can make it harder to identify which joints are painful. X-rays can help but this isn’t always accurate either. Some cats with severe arthritic changes on x-ray are quite comfortable, while those with minimal disease can be very sore. Your vet will diagnose arthritis in your cat based on your description of his behaviour, x-rays and by ruling out any other medical causes of his symptoms.
When it comes to treating arthritis in your cat, you need to be careful. Cats are very sensitive to many drugs, and they can cause more harm than good. Any drug that you give your feline best friend must be registered for use in cats, and must be used exactly as prescribed. Never give your cat any medication that has been prescribed for your dog or for yourself.
There are other ways you can ease your cat’s pain and make him more comfortable.
Weight loss. Obesity can make arthritic symptoms worse, purely because your cat’s sore joints have to carry extra weight. If you are going to put your cat on a diet, make sure his weight loss is slow and steady because rapid weight loss in cats can cause hepatic lipidosis. This is a dangerous condition.
Sodium pentosan polysulphate, or Cartrophen, has been used to ease the symptoms of arthritis in both cats and dogs. It is given by injection and is very safe. Talk to your veterinarian about a food Hills prescription diets like Metabolic or R/D or other diets.
Consider acupuncture for your cat. It can help with arthritic pain, and it is safe with no side effects.
Glucosamine, chondroitin and green lipped mussel extract may slow down cartilage degeneration and relieve symptoms of arthritis. There are no studies to prove this, but there is anecdotal evidence that they help. There are no side effects associated with using these products so there’s no harm in trying them.
Essential fatty acids such as those in fish oil can have a natural anti-inflammatory effect.
Manage your cat’s environment. You can remove part of the side of his litter box so he can walk into it easier. Give him a bed that’s at ground level, or build a ramp or some small steps to his favourite resting spot, so he doesn’t have to jump. If the weather turns cold, he’ll appreciate a heating pad or hot water bottle in his bed.
Many people think their cat is less active because they are just getting old, but in fact they may actually be in pain due to arthritis. If your elderly cat is reluctant to jump, is grooming himself less and would rather not move around too much, he may have arthritis. The right treatment could quickly put a spring back in his step.
Vaccination is a routine part of preventative health care for all dogs, but it can be confusing. There are a number of vaccinations available for dogs and a range of vaccination schedules. Learn which vaccines your dog needs and how often.
Your dog’s immune system is an amazing thing. It is designed to keep him healthy by destroying the bacteria and viruses that can make him ill. It also has a very good memory, and this is why vaccination is so effective.
When your dog is vaccinated, he is injected with the actual organisms that cause disease. These organisms have been killed or modified to make them less infectious. Some vaccines don’t contain any organisms but instead contain structural proteins that have been isolated from them. Even though the vaccine won’t cause disease, your dog’s immune system will respond to it. Should your dog ever become naturally infected, his body will quickly mount an immune response and is more likely to be able to fight the disease.
The vaccines recommended for dogs can be divided into core and non-core vaccines.
Distemper – a viral disease that causes a runny nose, vomiting and diarrhoea, and twitching. It is often fatal and dogs that survive usually have ongoing health issues for the rest of their life.
Infectious Canine Hepatitis – this too is a viral disease that causes fever, bleeding disorders and liver disease. It is highly contagious and the virus is able to survive in the environment for months. It can also be shed in the urine of recovered dogs for up to 6 months, which can spread the disease throughout a neighbourhood.
Canine Parvovirus – Commonly known as parvo, this virus causes vomiting, bloody diarrhoea, dehydration and death in dogs of all ages. The organism is very difficult to kill; it survives freezing and hot temperatures, and can remain infectious in the ground for up to 7 months.
Non-core vaccines protect dogs against diseases that may not be life threatening but still cause illness. They are usually only given to dogs that are at risk of those diseases, either because of their physical location or their lifestyle.
Canine Parainfluenza Virus and Bordetella Bronchiseptica.These two organisms are responsible for causing kennel cough, a contagious respiratory illness that can last for several weeks. It spreads readily where dogs congregate. If your dog is going to places such as dog parks, obedience clubs or boarding kennels, it’s worth protecting him against it.
Leptospirosis. This isn’t a common disease, but when it occurs, it can make a dog very ill with kidney disease. It can occur where there are large numbers of wild rats, and dogs are exposed to rat urine. Dogs that live on sugar cane farms or other places with large rat populations may benefit from being vaccinated for leptospirosis.
How often you vaccinate your dog varies with the type of vaccine and the manufacturer, but there are some general guidelines to follow.
Puppies acquire antibodies to disease from the colostrum, or first milk, so they have some level of immunity from a very young age. However, these antibodies vary in both their level and duration, so you don’t know when your pup is no longer protected by them. If there are high levels of these antibodies in your pup’s bloodstream, they will reduce his response to the vaccine and it won’t be as effective.
To take this into account, pups need to be vaccinated two to three times between 6 and 16 weeks of age. A booster vaccination is given one year later.
Core vaccines need only be given every 3 years, but non-core vaccines often need a yearly booster to maintain your dog’s protection. This doesn’t mean that you should only take your dog to the vet every 3 years when his shots are due. A yearly health check will catch any medical conditions before they become too serious, and it will give you a chance to chat to your vet about any issues that are concerning you.
Vaccination is important in controlling a number of serious, contagious and potentially fatal diseases of dogs. All dogs should be vaccinated with the core vaccines, 2 to 3 times as a puppy then 3 yearly as an adult. Whether or not your dog should be vaccinated against non-core diseases is something to be discussed between you and your veterinarian.
Many canine senior citizens become stiff and sore in their joints as they age. However, there is much you can do to slow the development of arthritis and to manage the symptoms if they occur.
The word ‘arthritis’ comes from two Greek phrases ‘arthro’ which means joint, and ‘itis’ which means inflammation, so arthritis is inflammation of the joints. There are many causes of arthritis in dogs, from infections to immune mediated diseases.
However the type of arthritis most people think of when they hear the term is the age related disease that causes stiff sore joints in canine senior citizens.
Arthritis starts when the joint cartilage that covers the ends of the bones deteriorates. Over time, this cartilage is worn down to expose the bone beneath. As the disease progresses, new bone is laid down in and around the joints, and the joint fluid becomes thin and less cushioning. The result is pain and difficulty in moving around.
Congenital diseases of the joints such as hip or elbow dysplasia.
Joint or ligament injury that makes the joint move in an abnormal way.
Age and obesity. Older dogs are more prone to joint degeneration, and if your canine best friend is carrying excess weight, it will accelerate this process.
If your dog starts to develop arthritis, the first thing you are likely to notice is that he is limping. He will try and avoid moving the sore joint. The limp is often worse when he first gets up in the morning, or when the weather is particularly cold.
As the disease progresses, he will be less likely to enjoy his usual activities. He won’t jump up on the couch for a cuddle or chase his ball, and he may be unwilling to walk too far. There can also be wasting of the muscles on the affected leg, so it will look thinner than the corresponding one on the other side. Some dogs even bite at their sore joint to get relief, and this can be mistaken for a skin problem.
The two parts to managing canine arthritis are firstly to relieve pain and secondly to return the joint to as healthy a state as possible. There are several treatment options that can help your dog.
Most dogs are prescribed a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug for pain relief. These work well and your dog will be more comfortable very quickly. For those dogs that can’t take these drugs, tramadol and fentanyl are useful. Never give your dog any drug that hasn’t been prescribed by your vet, because they could make him very sick.
There are many supplements that are thought to help dogs with arthritis. Glucosamine and chondroitin are ones that people are usually familiar with. They are thought to help protect the joint cartilage and slow its deterioration. While supplements aren’t likely to do any harm, there are few studies that confirm their effectiveness.
Polysulphated glycosaminoglycans such as sodium pentosan polysulphate are substances that are involved in cartilage production. Your vet can give your dog a course of injections of these substances, and many dogs show great improvement in their arthritis symptoms. The advantage of this treatment is that it is very safe.
Omega 3 fatty acids, such as those found in fish oil, may reduce inflammation and ease pain.
Your veterinarian may recommend a prescription diet like Hills J/D.
Acupuncture has been shown to help many dogs with painful joints.
Gentle exercise, massage and physiotherapy will keep his joints moving freely and help to prevent stiffness.
Look at your dog’s environment to see if there are changes you can make so life is less difficult for him. For example, if you have stairs leading into your house, give him a ramp so he can walk up it easier.
Arthritis is a progressive condition with no cure. In spite of this, your dog doesn’t need to suffer from painful joints. A combination of weight loss, medication, supplements and modification to his living environment will allow him to enjoy a good quality of life.
