(NAPSI)—For millions of students with learning disabilities like dyslexia, reading is often greatly improved when they can hear and see the printed word at the same time.
Specialists report that listening to audiobooks while following the printed text allows many of these readers to take in information and enjoy learning without struggling over each word.
Paul B. Yellin, M.D., founder of The Yellin Center for Mind, Brain, and Education, describes the process: "Many children understand language that they hear at a higher level than language they read on their own. Audiobooks allow children to access information at this higher level. And very often, reading skills are best improved if the listener follows along with the written text."
Dr. Yellin points to new formats like VOICEtext from Learning Ally, which highlights each sentence on-screen as a human narrator reads it, making it easier for readers to follow along.
"Having the ability to actually see a word highlighted while hearing it read allows a child to access content by reinforcing the linkage between 'how a word looks' with 'how a word sounds' and supports the development of independent reading skills," he says.
Whitney D. Hall, Ph.D., a psychologist specializing in cognitive assessment, agrees, saying, "The benefit of adding on-screen text that is highlighted in synch with the narration is that this more closely simulates the act of reading. Following along while hearing the material narrated allows a child to practice using their reading skills."
How Text Synched with Audio Improves Reading
• Improves skills for decoding each sound in a word
• Enforces letter-sound associations
• Improves sight word recognition
• Enhances vocabulary
• Increases comprehension
Learning Ally, a national nonprofit, maintains the world's largest library of human-narrated audio textbooks for students with disabilities. More than 80,000 titles (including almost 2,000 of its most popular selections in the new VOICEtext format) are downloadable to smartphones, tablets and computers that students use every day.
"Combining human speech with synchronized text in an audiobook is ideal for many students' particular learning profile," says Dr. Yellin. "And by using narrators who provide accurate tone and inflection throughout the book, Learning Ally audiobooks can improve understanding for the reader."

That number made me feel much less alone. I had a very powerful (and unexpected) experience of this nature in 1986 (as I've described in my spiritual autobiography). For many years, I was the only person I knew who had had such an experience. Gradually, over the years, I read of or encountered others who shared experiences of a similar nature. I've encountered these types of stories often enough to realize that they are not uncommon. Still, 47% out of a group of 1600 gay men and lesbians seemed like an astonishing number to me.
Any reckoning of the ultimate significance of this number, however, will need to account for the fact that 16% of survey respondents reported receiving spiritual confirmation that God rejected their homosexuality. The apparent conflict highlights the challenges of validating spiritual experiences and evaluating them in a broad context.
The other presented data I found interesting had to do with respondents' reported levels of happiness and quality of life. This is the first time I've seen the different relationship configurations of gay men and lesbians evaluated in this way. Single or celibate gay men and lesbians reported the least happiness. Gay men and lesbians in mixed orientation marriages reported the next lowest levels of happiness. Gay men and lesbians in some sort of committed relationship reported quality of life slightly less than healthy heterosexual married individuals. Gay men and lesbians who were legally married reported levels of happiness comparable to or even slightly higher than healthy, married heterosexuals.
What I thought noteworthy about this is the fact that while, on average, gay or lesbian individuals in mixed orientation marriages reported lower quality of life than gay or lesbian individuals in committed same-sex relationships or in same-sex marriages (or, for that matter, married heterosexual individuals), they were still happier than single/celibate gays and lesbians. This is logical, when one considers the fact that needs for human touch and companionship will be fulfilled even in a less than ideal marital relationship.
This data confirms the observation that the Church's recent emphasis on celibacy as the only acceptable option for gay and lesbian individuals is unlikely to deter individuals from entering into mixed orientation marriages. Since the Church's emphasis on singleness/celibacy for gays and lesbians effectively consigns them to the most stressful and unhappy life status, no one should wonder why, if gay individuals don't opt for a mixed orientation marriage, the vast majority eventually end up leaving the Church if a same-sex relationship is an option.
I think these data also beg the question: If singles (gay and straight) are the most unhappy of these demographic groups, how have we as a Church/society failed singles? These are the individuals that demand our most serious and immediate attention. What can we do to address this problem? Are our families, Churches and social groups configured in such a way as to create or exacerbate the unhappiness measured in this survey? And if so, what do we need to do to change that?
Finally, these data speak to the question of why legal relationship recognition in the form of full marriage equality matters. Based on the data that was presented, it's impossible to know conclusively why legally married same-sex couples reported higher levels of happiness than same-sex couples who were only in extra-legal committed relationships. Is it because commitment in the form of marriage offered a greater sense of security and stability in the relationship? Is it because gay couples who are legally married are more likely to live in states where society treats them as equals? Whatever the case, it seems to me that any commonwealth that claims to be concerned about the well being of all its citizens, needs to consider the impact that denying marriage rights will have on the health and well being of its gay citizens.
Parenthetically, it's worth considering the implications of this data about quality of life and happiness for religious beliefs about homosexuality. Religious opponents of same-sex relationships have always argued that a lifetime of diminished happiness is a small price to pay for exaltation in eternity. Regardless of what the data say, in other words, we still have to wrestle with larger questions about the meaning of suffering, and the relationship between holiness and happiness.
I think it's worth noting that I did experience an increase in personal happiness after I found and made a commitment to my life partner, Göran. However, I feel like my level of happiness in life increased even more dramatically after I opened myself up to wrestling with what my testimony of the Gospel and of the LDS Church meant to me as a gay man, and after I started attending Church and applying Gospel principles to my life. Our decision to get legally married and the personal satisfaction I've derived from getting married are connected to my faith. In other words, I am happy to the extent I am able to live a life of integrity and wholeness -- in my relationship with my husband, as well as in my relationship with God and with my community of faith.
None of the data presented by Bro. Dehlin and Bro. Bradshaw free us of the responsibility of wrestling with difficult questions. Data never just speak for themselves. All the same, it is helpful to have data. With or without the data, we still have to wrestle with the questions of meaning. But it is better to wrestle with these questions in the presence of good data, than with no data or bad data. I've personally wrestled with a lot of these questions, and I've for the most part found resolutions to the most troubling questions, and Bro. Dehlin's and Bro. Bradshaw's data offered me some helpful perspectives on my own experience.

Wow I find that percentage high as well. As a single gay man I'm not sure I've had spiritual experience that has helped me feel better as a gay man. Time to re-read my journals.
On the other hand I'm amazed how 'mormon' I am after these many years of not being at Church... ie still single and not really dating because.... who knows? Guilt?

Aaron - I'm eager for the complete report of the survey findings to be published, because there's a wealth of information in the qualitative responses of survey respondents, who were invited to provide in-depth written comments along with their answers to the various quantitative questions.
I personally did not allow myself to date men until I'd had a series of spiritual experiences confirming that that was the right thing for me to do.
I think it emphasizes the importance of spirituality in these kinds of life decisions. If we don't receive validation from our Church and community for some of the important life decisions we need to make, many of us still want/need validation from God.

Aaron - interesting to me, by the way, that seeking guidance directly from God in relation to difficult questions around sexual identity is a very "Mormon" way to go about things.
I'd be very curious to see if we find similar experiences among, say, LGBT Catholics or mainline Protestants, or other religious groups that do not emphasize the importance of personal revelation in the same way that Latter-day Saints do.

Why do I never receive a direct revelation from the Almighty? Oh well, more than sufficient is that message spoken by his Son in these last days, and from Him through the apostles, and the church catholic, that the God of all mercy and love has indeed redeemed we poor, miserable sinners who deserve nothing but God's wrath and punishment. His blood cleanses us from ALL unrighteousness! Deo Gratias!

Yet, I still feel lost at times now matter how many times I'm told I"m okay... I lost myself somewhere along the way but hang in there anyway. Wonder if I'll ever find what I'm missing in my life?
Does God love me? Sure.
Do I love myself? Well... I try.

> Belladonna Took
Belladonna Took
buy it now or visit pattern website
The Belladonna Took shawlette is named after Belladonna Took, the hobbit, who became Mrs. Bungo Baggins, mother to Bilbo. J.R.R. Tolkien tells us that the Took family was known for adventures (not at all an acceptable activity for a hobbit) and it was this adventurous Took gene that prompted Bilbo to go on his own adventure with Gandalf and the dwarves. This small shawl is knit sideways and is adjustable according to the amount of yarn you have. Instead of the more common garter stitch or stockinette main body, this little shawl has an easy to memorize lace pattern paired with a lace edging. Easy to wear, it will be useful whether you have your own adventures or choose a more respectable lifestyle, doing nothing unexpected. It's large enough to toss over your shoulders if you should get chilly but small enough to keep in your bag when the Summer comes. The directions are in both charted and written format. The knitting is easy and the design works up quickly. This is a knitting adventure that won't make you late for dinner!
This shawl is shown in Handmaiden Silk Twist (65% wool/ 35% silk, 400m per 100 g skein). Shown in the colorway Moss, one skein was used. It can easily be adjusted to other weights of yarn just by changing needle size for your yarn and working as directed. Finished size as shown is 62 inches wide by 21 inches deep as measured from the center back down to the point. I should note that while this is a triangle shawl, because it is knit sideways, the point is more shallow than it would be if it were a top down triangle shawl. A less dramatic point on a triangle shawl is more flattering due to the general region of the wearer that the point of a shawl tends to point to.

Holiday concert is over and vacation has begun! I thought I'd post a couple costumes from the concert.
This year my grade 1 to 3 students performed the new Hal Leonard musical "Twinkle and Shine" by John Jacobson and John Higgins. I loved it, the kids loved it and I heard a lot of great feedback from the families and our staff.
I left most of my pictures at school so I will show more costumes later... but in the meantime, here are two of the bird costumes that a parent volunteer made.
Besides for forest birds, the musical also included pine trees!
I made these with the help of some amazing educational assistants and teachers! I found a couple Youtube tutorials from Expert Village to make the NO SEW ponchos! Link on the videos below for the tutorials. I measured my ponchos to be 1metre x 1metre. They are soooo easy!
The hats were a bit trickier. Initially we took poster board and made a tall cone by stapling and taping it together. We covered the cone with left over fleece from the poncho. You can see in the picture that the cone rests right on the top of the child's head. We found out at our dress rehearsal though, the hats kept sliding all over the kids' heads because the hats were so tall and heavy.
Our solution was... to make shorter cones that fit into the very top of the tree hat, but kept the fleece the same length. That way it fit more like a toque (winter hat for my American readers!) and the fleece fit nice and snug, keeping it on their heads. With less poster board, there was also less weight. We added fleece ties with a glue gun, to keep the hats from falling off. These hats worked out! And these trees looked precious!
Sorry for the "children of the corn" spooky students pics! I can't figure out how to black out spots using iPhoto! Any suggestions?
Tell me about your costumes! I love new ideas!

The Great Lakes are in danger of depletion from commercial interests hooking up pipelines and sending tankers to take water out of the basin. Although the Great Lakes basin contains nearly 20 percent of the earth's fresh surface water, rainfall and snowmelt replenish only about one percent of the water in the basin each year. The rest is finite and nonrenewable. There is a growing demand for water by utilities, agriculture, manufacturers, and residents throughout the region. As regional demand increases, there is growing pressure to divert water from the Great Lakes to other regions and even to other countries. Current laws are not strong enough to protect the Great Lakes and maintain enough water to meet the needs of residents and wildlife in the region.
Congress must approve the Great Lakes Water Resources Compact to protect our Great Lakes and the people, fish, wildlife, outdoor recreation, and economic interests that depend on them. All eight Great Lakes states have already ratified the compact, agreeing on a set of rules that everyone will follow to protect the Lakes. Ontario and Quebec have also approved an agreement with the same rules. Now, Congress must pass the Great Lakes Water Compact to finalize it.
It is vital that members of Congress hear from supporters both within and outside the Great Lakes region that we want them to protect this national treasure. Please urge your Representative and Senators to vote for the Great Lakes Water Resources Compact.CLICK HERE to take action now!

It is almost two years since you started managing Ekiti's finances. How has it been?
It is very challenging in the sense that the money is not just there and we have a tall ambition to rapidly organise and develop Ekiti to a state that is respected in the Southwest and in Nigeria.
What are the challenges you are facing?
One of the key challenges here is the issue of our revenue, just like any other state in Nigeria. Our own is peculiar. Ekiti is landlocked. Ekiti has no industry. Ekiti has a low internally generated revenue (IGR) base. Majority of the people are teachers. They pay only Pay As You Earn (PAYE) and the level of IGR is low. It has one of the least revenue from the Federation Account and the level of poverty, the level of underdevelopment is the same with other parts of the country. You have more issues to combat, such as erosion, flooding, urban renewal, even security. It is more of a headache trying to balance the figures and compared to other states that are bigger and richer, I will say we thank God.
What reforms have you carried out?
As a responsive government, the first reform you have to do is to make sure there is transparency and accountability in government. We have had to ensure that the little fund that we have is judiciously spent and that has to do with ensuring credibility in the contract process. The contract value is commensurate with the amount you are going to pay and you are not paying for services not delivered and then again you need to look inward. One of the major focuses of the governor is governance; improving governance, improving accountability, improving processes in the system and in finance, especially. Part of our own concern in that area is trying to ensure that the payment and revenue generation processes are improved upon. One of the first steps we took was to make sure we set up an integrative payroll application system, where our payroll is now fully computerised with biometric applications. That has enabled us to know those that are working for us. We have concluded the phase one of that activity and we are moving to phase two. By and large, it has been successful. Today, Ekiti is the only state that does direct payment. So, many states have started the integrated human resources application system but they still make payments through their ministries. They just use this system to generate salaries, but in the case of Ekiti, we pay all our workers online, real time.
One other reform we have had to carry out is in the area of revenue generation. We have started what we call e-revenue, electronic revenue system, whereby all payments into the coffers of the government are done through the bank and we have signed off consultants, who are handling this for us. That has helped us. The average IGR when we came on board was N121 million. At a time, it moved to about N600 million. For the reform of the tax system in the country, we are on average of about N400 million now. We are also working more with development partners and the capital market to develop our infrastructure.
Have you encountered any problem working with civil servants in carrying out these reforms?
I won't call it problem, per se. There have been issues that came up when some of these reforms came on board, particularly the bifurcation of the finance and account departments. Most issues when better handled, the civil servants are very sincere, but if these reforms come on board and they are not well-articulated, there is bound to be resistance. You cannot rule out pockets of dissents or self-interests, but when the overwhelming facts are there, then there is no problem that our people will just let go.
An average Nigerian politician is known for cutting corners. Being a chartered accountant, trained to ensure no one cuts corner, have you had any problem with the governor in terms of managing finances?
The post of the Commissioner for Finance is not a post where you want to please everybody, not even yourself. You want to please the situation; you want to please the fact. So, even when the issue affects your wife, your children or your brother, you have to face the facts. If somebody close to me brings a transaction and I don't believe in it, I will tell him 'this can't fly'. Most times the governor passes transactions to the Ministry of Finance for review. I hold court with my people here and advise Mr. Governor objectively.
To a large extent, like begets like. The governor's values and orientation are well-known in the country. The governor is highly transparent. He listens. It does not take him time to agree once you have your facts and figures. If you are presenting anything to him, you have to get your facts right. By and large, I have been guided by my professional calling in performing my task as commissioner.
Why is the state taking bonds?
Bond is a form of financing for long-term at a cheaper cost. This is better than financing through the banks, which has an interest rate of between 20 and 23 per cent in Nigeria today. If you go to the bond, you might be getting a rate of about 15 per cent. Normally, it should be lower than this but the peculiar situation of Nigeria has made it difficult. Borrowing from bond is like building a house today and paying over time. There is a benefit. The benefit is that you will have the house and pay the same amount over 10 years, instead of continuing to pay rent. It is about being creative financially. Do we need new roads now? Do we need to bring investors to Ekiti State? If we need to do all these, what does it take? Do we need to bring back Ikogosi Warm Spring? Do we need to bring back Burnt Brick Factory? So, if the funding that required to bring all these things back is let's say N10 million and we can only pay N1 million every year, that means we will not be able to bring back Ikogosi until the next 10 years. We will not be able to bring the Burnt Brick Factory back until the next 10 years. But knowing fully that if you do all those things and you can plough your savings back to repay, other investors will come to Ekiti State. I think the decision to take is let's do it now and that is what we have done by taking bonds.
Does that not amount to mortgaging the future of the state?
If we delay the Burnt Brick, there are 300 people that will be denied employment in the next 10 years. Some of them would have even died. The company will expand and make money beyond what we are seeing today. I don't know how that amounts to mortgaging the future of the state. Then, Ikogosi Warm Spring, which was a forest, will employ people. Income will come and it will attract more investors. Really, taking bonds does not amount to mortgaging the future. We are not mortgaging the future, but mortgaging for the future. We should thank the governor for his foresight. When you say you are mortgaging, are you mortgaging for value? That is the question we need to answer. You can't run Ekiti State without borrowing because the money is not just there. We are not borrowing to acquire vehicles; we are not borrowing to pay salaries. To those who say taking bonds amount to mortgaging the future of the state, I want to challenge them to a debate on the benefits of bond financing. Most of the major projects done in this state in the past were through borrowing. Ero Dam was built with a loan. Egbe Dam also. We are still repaying. If these projects had not been done, how would the people have coped? It is long-term loan. If those dams have not been built with World Bank loan, are we going to have Ero Dam or Egbe Dam? Ilorin-Offa-Ado Road was built with a World Bank loan by the Federal Government. If they didn't build it, how would it have happened? The only thing you need to look at when you are borrowing is, can you carry it? Do you have the capacity? What is the purpose of the loan? And that happens even at individual to community, corporate and state levels.
What do you think of the current internal and external borrowings of federal and state governments? Some think we are piling up debts again.
I think we have a mismatch in the sense that some of the borrowings that are taking place, are being used for things we do not really require; borrowing for recurrent expenditures and white elephant projects and borrowing without using it to stimulate the local economy. If you borrow and use it to stimulate the local economy, fine. There is nothing wrong with borrowing. It must just be purpose-driven. It must be used to achieve the purpose it was acquired, make sure you get result and make sure it stimulates the economy such that it can create jobs. But, if you borrow and it is financing manufacturing in other countries, then there is a big issue on our hands. When we borrow from another country and the borrowing is tied to buy our products, employ our engineers, bring our people into your country, even if you borrow $10 billion and it is used for factories in other countries, then it is a challenge. We go to China to borrow today. We go to America to borrow. These are the same countries keeping our reserves. They keep our reserves at 2-3 per cent, they give us loan at 5-7 per cent. Obviously, they are recycling our reserves.
How can we stimulate the economy?
What we have done in Ekiti and which, I expect a reasonable country to do, is to tell some of these multinationals, 'I am going to patronise you but whatever I am going to buy from you must be assembled in Nigeria'. We can do it. This country can stop the importation of rice. If we don't eat foreign rice, there is nothing that will happen. If we don't eat anything foreign, nothing will happen. But, the challenge we have in this country today is the taste of everybody, myself inclusive. You can' run your economy by opening your doors for every Tom, Dick and Harry to just dump things here. We buy imported tooth picks in this country. We buy imported tissue papers. All the garments, all the ankara, none is manufactured in this country. Why can't we examine our brains and wake up. We are the biggest economy in Africa and the moment you tell these people 'if the factory is not here I am not buying', they will relocate here. They start exporting from here, but most of our leaders here are not focused. My governor pays social security to the elderly here to stimulate the economy. These people don't buy foreign stuffs. They buy from the local market. They buy from farmers. They buy pepper, gari and so on from the local markets.
We need to spend our money on the local economy. Some of our leaders put their money abroad and the money is working abroad. It becomes easier for that economy to have money to borrow us at higher rate. They now insist we must employ their engineers, buy equipment from their country, which their engineers must operate. We are the loser. The economy of Nigeria is not such that should take anybody one year to build, with the right quality leadership, with the right direction. The foreign contractors we bring here, what do they do that our people can't? This country can work.
Let's look at the accounting profession in Nigeria, there seems to be some bad eggs…
For every profession, there are bad eggs. It is normal in every profession. These are isolated cases that should not be allowed to dent the real professionals with character.
How can we stop corruption?
Corruption, to me, is a thing of the mind of the individual, the community and the country. Over time, if you allow it to grow, it will continue to damage the system. It is more of our societal values and orientation. We need to look back at the days of Omoluabi as we call it in the West. An Omoluabi is somebody who will do the right thing at the right time whether people are there or not. Corruption can destroy a country. When people know that if you don't work and you make money and the society will worship you, they tend to tilt towards fraudulent means of acquiring wealth. The law should be strict about that. That is why I like what the CBN governor is doing about electronic payment. It helps reduce corruption. I hope it succeeds. What value do you get from making too much money? There are too many poor people around you. We need to get our values right. People just acquire wealth that they don't need. Being corrupt as a country is what has led us to where we are today. The moment you can remove corruption things will move well. We should all think about the country and what values are we adding to the country. The level of corruption in Nigeria is more driven by misplacement of priorities.

When the elevator doors slid apart, I stepped out and looked right, then left. Finally, I spotted him, backlit by an open doorway at the end of the dim hall.
"Over here," he whispered, waving me toward him.
"Is this what it was like for Ted Haggard the first time he was here?" I thought.
Well, that is, if Mike Jones' story that Haggard came to his apartment and paid a "couple hundred dollars plus a tip" for gay sex while amped up on methamphetamine is true.
It was almost out of a sense of duty that I came to Jones' small, modestly decorated apartment in Denver's Capitol Hill neighborhood. Jones' shocking allegations about the former New Life Church leader and National Association of Evangelicals president were morphing from news into legend. And about 60 miles north of Colorado Springs, the man sat, willing to talk to practically any inquisitor.
Indeed, Jones confessed to me he took phone calls from reporters at all hours even from student journalists writing stories for class.
But maybe he'd say something to me that he hadn't said already. Maybe if I started from scratch with him, he'd admit he made the whole thing up.
Following a firm handshake, we took a few steps to a wooden table, next to the glass door to the balcony. Amid the sound of wind chimes, we chatted about Jones' marathon week.
"My head is spinning still," Jones said. "When I was in New York for the "Today' show, I opened the New York Times, and there I am."
His plan for the coming weekend, he added, was to fly back east, this time as the guest of honor for a Broadway play. He couldn't exactly recall its title; something about a gay escort.
There's a bar in Hawaii, he adds, that keeps calling to see if he'll play the "hunky Santa" at a gay Christmas party.
Jones said he was just a "John" to Haggard. But even as the scandal has ruined his high-profile client, it has transformed Jones from the "nobody" he says he used to be. It has freed him from two decades of male prostitution with "hundreds" of clients that he said include sports and movie stars, politicians and clergymen. So Jones grinned, even while surrounded by reminder notes to call people back and printed e-mails.
His phone rang. He ignored it. It was the bar from Hawaii again.
I asked him about his family in Denver. They know he's gay, he said. They didn't know about the prostitution.
"How are they handling this?"
Jones grimaced. "Everything's fine with my family. No more family talk."
Jones said many people adore him for coming forward. Others clearly hate him.
An e-mail he recently received invites him to a baseball game the writer offers to bring the bats.
Asked what he thinks of efforts by Haggard's evangelical peers to counsel him, Jones expressed doubt.
"I'd say he's a gay man," he said. "If he's never going to be honest with himself, I don't care how much therapy he has, he's never going to be true. He's always going to be a deceiver."
After 45 minutes, I shook Jones' hand and thanked him. The door shut behind me.
Nice guy, nice home. No revelations. So, what story did I get?
Here's the best I've come up with: Jones' days as a prostitute may be over, but he's slid seamlessly into the role of media whore.

Flea collars are handy inventions, which have the potential of making your life so much easier, especially if you have pets that roam free outdoors where they get in contact will all sort of strays which can get them infested with fleas. Additionally, some products also protect pets against ticks, which is great if you take into account the Lyme disease epidemic that seems to have swept the nation.
Do they actually work? The answer depends on many factors, especially on the brand you are buying. Their mechanism of action is pretty simple – collars emit a gas toxin, which kills parasites but doesn't affect your dog in any way, which is vital because if you buy these products from shady sources, they can do more harm than good.
However, the older toxin-emitting collars only act locally, which doesn't make them super useful if you have a larger pet. There are newer models on the ever-changing market that have flea repellent chemicals that are released on a regular basis, and that mix with the natural oils your pet's skin releases. This allows for much better coverage and long-term protection against many types of disease-carrying bugs.
Collars usually work by emitting the toxin as a gas, so they will only kill fleas near the area where they are attached. The newer models contain flea and tick repellent chemicals that are continuously released from the flea collar and spread across the pet's body, in the natural oils of the hair, coat, and skin. These flea killing chemicals then adhere to those surfaces and provide continuous protection.
Double check if the product you want is safe for extended use. This is a pro trick, since some products could contain organophosphates, which are basically poisons used to kill weeds and insects, and that can become toxic if you or your pet get in contact with the product for extended periods, even if the collar contains tiny traces of those chemicals. The bright side is that they are sold based on a prescription from the vet.
Another tip when using a collar for your pet, cat or dog, is to make sure, if you have more than one furry friend, that they don't lick each other's collar. This requires a bit of attention, but if you train them from the beginning, you shouldn't have a problem with that as house pets are pretty smart. You can even use food to teach them to stay away from each other's flea collar.
So, the answer is yes. These products work, and they are ideal preventative tools which can help you fight fleas and ticks efficiently. However, if you have naughty pets that can't stand these items around their necks, maybe try to go for an alternative. The fabulous part is that they can even contain all natural ingredients, so you won't ever have to worry about toxicity and harmful effects on your pet.

Dear members, I am constantly hearing about pple purchasing dogs from abroad and not receiving the said dog, paperwork, etc. Why do you not purchase locally re: US or Canada. Our dogs are just as good if not better and if anything goes wrong there is generally some kind of recourse.
Not all foreign breeders are crooks, but when they are, our laws can not protect you or it is too difficult to pursue a resolution when dealing with them.
Yes, there are crooks in the US and Canada, but generally if anything does go wrong, you can better deal with it.
Just a thought??
Happy New Year to all

China's tech economy is built on copycats that totally lack any sort of innovation, particularly given the amount of money spent on research and development by companies and the government in China, Wadhwa said.
As to Bao Bean's assertion that creativity and digital garages will be inspired in part by the high level of investment brought in by foreign venture capitalists, Wadhwa said: "There is a lot of money being wasted by a lot of VCs in China."
China's younger generation is extremely creative, but those running China's research and development are not bringing anything new, Wadhwa said.
Asked for numbers to back this assertion, Wadhwa said that the numbers tell the exact opposite story. China files a large number of patents and produces a large number of research-related papers, but there are few actual innovations coming out.
Nonetheless, those good number hide a total lack of creativity, based on Wadhwa's qualitative analysis.
Wadhwa said the exact opposite seems to be true in India, where relatively little is invested in research and development. India has fewer patents and papers than China, but the country is building itself into a innovation powerhouse.
The fundamental difference, Wadhwa said, is that Indian engineers are encouraged to think beyond their narrow role and build more innovation into their activities.

And no wonder, for while Kanye had his nose to the grinder promoting shoes in China, Kim was enjoying a luxury break with her family in a $150,000-a-week beachfront vacation palace. While she was doing that The jolly rapper had been in the Far East trying to drum up interest a new line of adidas shoes he has designed.

An anonymous source told Hollywoodlife.com the following about the upcoming nuptials: Its going to be an emotional day for Kanye, and his mother will be on his mind for sure. It was his dream to show his mother the love of his life and their child! The source continues: Everything is going to be so perfect, filled with happiness, joy and bliss and he would have really wanted his mother there, front and center, to walk him down the aisle. Now, he has North [Kanye's daughter] for that. Kanye has spoken about what the loss of his mom has done to him, so he will doubtlessly be quite emotional when he and Kim say I do. Of course, Wests bride-to-be, Kim, has also spoken about the loss of her father who died of cancer in 2003. xfAnother anonymous source spoke about how Wests mother and Kims father will be included in the nuptials.

Question Time covers some pretty serious subjects and Thursday night's show was no exception.
Diane Abbott passionately discussed the ins and outs of a potential trade deal between Donald Trump and Theresa May.
But while most of the audience were caught up in the intricacies of international relations, one man decided it was the perfect time to practice a slight of hand trick.
Cracking out a classic favoured by weird uncles the world over, the man pretended to pull his thumb off in front of the cameras - only to be caught by the programme's bosses.
Tweeting a clip of the man in a white hoodie, the official Question Time account wrote: "Dear audience member in the background. We see your sneaky thumb trick.
"We do not encourage such behaviour. Goodnight!"
Despite the young man's telling off, the trick won him plenty of fans among QT viewers at home:
Whatever next? Someone stealing David Dimbleby's nose?
