ReRelease The Jurassic Park Toys! sign now
Dear Hasbro,
Please read this with great detail as it shows a great sales opportunity. Around 10 years ago Jurassic Park the Motion Picture was in theatres. I happen to know that you were the company that produced the toys for the film. You also have produced toy lines called for The Lost World: Jurassic Park and Jurassic park 3. Also produced were the JP: Dinosaurs and Chaos Effect: Jurassic Park. It is known that a new line of Jurassic Park 3 toys called CameoXtreme was produced. I, among many fans of the toys, have heard that these have been cancelled. It seems that these toys are of high interest and there are those like me who would be happy to see them in retailers. This would provide a good financial benefit to the company if these were re-released in retailers in larger quantities. Jurassic Park toy lines are very detailed and I say well done to the company for its work. These toy lines are of high interest. If you were to look at websites for example http://www.jptoys.com or http://www.jurassictoys.com you would see that these like many other websites are dedicated to Jurassic Park toys and the different lines.
We(referring to me and the other fanatics) only can find the classic Jurassic Park toys on auction websites like http://www.ebay.com which do not always provide the benefit say if the toys are brought from a retailer. My idea for the company, Hasbro to try is this. Re-release the classic 1993 Series 1 & 1994 Series 2 Jurassic Park toys. I happen to know like others about all the toys that were produced. I know the company has some records of their production and how they are produced because later toy lines used their basic layout and shape (and are repaints). There were toys that are known to have been produced, unfortunately and for reasons unknown to us JP toy collectors/buyers/retailers, although they were not released in retailers. They are
Scrap Davis
Gulper T-rex
Jungle Explorer *Variation* Jungle colours
Bush Devil Tracker *Variation* Jungle colours.
Images have been obtained of these prototypes and are viewable on numerous websites. I and others do know that the original Jurassic Park toys human figures and dinosaur toys were packaged with collectors cards that had a image of a Artwork (which may I add were very good) and Movie Stills that contained a image from the Jurassic Park Motion Picture of 1993. On the back there are text with information of the hatchling the human figure is packaged with or in the case of the dinosaur toys the dinosaur. A complete list I have of all these collectors cards and my website, which is at http://tyrannomatt.100megsfree5.com, or http://tyrannomatt.0catch.com will soon have this list updated and put online very soon. There are certain cards for which I have no information of the toy it was packaged with.
A other point to raise which is important to note is that maybe special 10th anniversary toys can be produced to be sold in 2003 (10 years after the release of the original series 1 toys). These are ideas that I have thought of and some I have chosen form other people's ideas.
New humans figures could be
John Hammond,
Lex Murphy,
Ray Arnold,
Dr Henry Wu,
Dr Gerry Harding,
Donald Gennaro,
Lewis Dodgeson,
and a JP/InGen worker.
These suggestions are based on other main characters from the JP film. Some characters are more featured in the brilliant novel by the author Michael Crichton.
Here are some dream toy ideas though up by other JP toy fans. These were submitted on JPToys.com at http://www.jptoys.com
This Lex Murphy idea is from Trike Attack. He thinks that the figure should be Six inches high; includes PC, removable blue cap and flashlight; Comes with a T. rex hatchling and is movie accurate; includes Screaming sounds. This idea is not mine but another fan's who I'm sure would be more than happy for this idea to be produced. This forgotten characters four pack thought up by Jesse Fritsch would be as follows.
"This set of JP humans would come in a TLW Tracking Set model box. It would include: John Hammond, Lex Murphy, Henry Wu, and Dr. Harding. John Hammond would be wearing his classic white outfit with removable hat, and cane. John would come with no weapons because he would never shoot one of his creations...But he would come with a Velociraptor hatchling. Classic Brown raptor with hatched egg, Raptor in a hatching pose. Lex Murphy would be wearing her purple hat which would be removable, and her blue jeans. She wouldn't come with weapons but rather a Brachiosaurus & Parasaurolophus hatchling, because she doesn't like the other kind. Both hatchlings would be in regular poses with the Para being JP movie green and black and the Brachiosaurus being just a dull brown. Henry Wu would be wearing an all white outfit. He'd be rather short. He would come with a notebook, and 6 dinosaur eggs, and a small cell-phone. Dr. Harding would be wearing his pink JP staff T-shirt with brown shorts. He would come with a stun gun and a various pistol. He would come with a Triceratops hatchling, which would be dull brown and would come with a brown rain-coat." As before this idea is not mine and so are the following. These have not been edited. The below ideas are related to Jurassic Park toys.
Contestant: Raptoryx
Title: Jurassic Park Copter
Description: The Jurassic Park InGen Copter! Same colours of the movie one ( Blue and White ) and comes with a Jurassic Park Worker who can enter inside it! Some light and sounds from copter. 18 cm height and 46 cm width!
Contestant: Jurassic Joe
Title: Electronic Raptor Rage
Description: This action-packed playset includes one JP figure sized "Jurassic Park Worker," one 'Electronic Velociraptor,' and one "Raptor Enclosure." As you may know, this playset is based on the part in "Jurassic Park" when the workers are moving the deadly Velociraptors into their pit; (not included.) The worker has the same colour scheme as the real workers in the movie. He comes with an electric prod, a handbag and a removable helmet. The "Raging Raptor" has button powered snapping jaws, slashing claws and it also has a poseable tail. It fits nicely inside its "Raptor Enclosure." The enclosure is made to perfectly resemble the JP one, it has the opening gate door, and electronic sounds. Check out the sketch. Don't let this great JP toy opportunity pass you buy, batteries included!
Contestant: SuchoSwimmer
Title: Jurassic Park River Capture Barge
Description: It is three feet long and waterproof, it floats. it has a crane that can lift stuff out of the water. Two buttons on the side allow pieces of the boat to pop off so you can create aqua attack scenes. in the front are torpedo launchers on the port and starboard sides, when you push buttons on the back they shoot of into the water. you can lift a piece of the deck to reveal a large holding tank. there is also a shark cage that you can put people into and then dunk into the water by using the crane. the tower is a two stories. On the bottom are small holding aquariums. the staircase leads to the navigation room, inside the navigation room are screens, computers, and a steering wheel. The accessories are a scuba diver, a captain that looks like Dr.Snare, a mosasaurus that is six inches long and has dino damage on its side, a small boat, a prehistoric snake, a young megalodon, a fresh water jelly fish, and a nautilus. all the smaller animals go in the small holding aquariums but the mosasaurus goes in the large holding tank. if this was actually a toy the only down side would be the cost because of how large it is and all the accessories.
Contestant: Tyrannosaurus Rex
Title: Jurassic Park Visitor's Center Playset
Description: Has Visitor's Center entrance with stairway and openable doors, and the top has those large tropical cones on the rooftop. The interior of the playset is the lobby, with staircase and T-Rex & Alamosaurus skeletons which can be taken apart and come with cords/cable wires to attach them to re-enact the action-packed finale from the movie. Lobby also comes with JP concept paintings on the walls, rock structures, the white sheet the Raptor came out of, and a break-apart wall with a hole that's big enough for all of the JP Tyrannosaur toys to fit through.
As you can maybe see. Us JP toys fans have great imaginations and also fans also like use the different toys for dioramas or even repaint them for custom toys. You can see examples of these at JPtoys.com.
My idea for new JP toys is maybe JP Brachiosaurus as they were featured in the film but not released as a toy.
Also there was one problem when JP toys were released. This is that only Series 1 was released worldwide and that Series 2 were only released in countries like the USA. This is a annoying problem and if the all toys were released worldwide (like in the UK or Canada) then the profit to the company would be much larger. Also I would say more and here it is.
The TLW toys, JP:Dinosaurs and Chaos Effect along with the JP3 and classic JP toys should be re-released. This would make a lot of money for Hasbro and heighten the company's creditability. Us JP are many and we have a good voice that should be heard. My final conclusion is this.
The Jurassic park, The Lost World: Jurassic Park, Jurassic Park 3, Jurassic Park: Dinosaurs and the Chaos Effect: Jurassic Park toys should be re-released. Worldwide in retailers in the year 2003 and also all the unreleased toys form the Jurassic Park and The Lost World: Jurassic Park toy lines should be released finally. And a last point is that the Night Hunter Chaos Effect and the JP3 CameoXtreme should be released in retailers. Also can I say form me and all the JP toy fanatics. THANK YOU .

We've covered a lot of ground when it comes to electric vehicles on this trip but maybe you're still wondering about some of the basics, like what's the difference between a hybrid and an all electric vehicle, or how do EVs differ from gasoline cars. Don't worry we've got you covered.
Beneficial Electrification: Efficient, Smart and Clean!
Electric cars are a win-win for utilities and electricity users
Technological progress is making appliances and other electric devices more efficient. Advancements in power plant technology and renewable development will continue to reduce the environmental effect of the electric system. These two converging trends are making one thing very clear: electricity is a smart choice. As the electric system continues to become cleaner and more efficient, there is growing support for using electricity in new ways.
Encouraging the smart use of electricity in a strategic manner is a win-win for both the electric cooperative and the electric consumer.

What Does an Electric Vehicle Really Cost?
We have been asked many times about the cost of electric vehicles. Here is a few of the frequently asked questions broken down for you:
How much does an electric vehicle cost?
A wide range of electric vehicles are available for every conceivable free market segment. As a result, the purchase price of a new electric vehicle varies widely based upon the vehicle make, model, type, package and accessories. Check out this electric vehicle comparison chart to review a few options or explore automakers' website for specific vehicle costs.

Today's "Ask the Readers" comes to Get Rich Slowly from Luke Landes, founder of Consumerism Commentary.
Retailers are eager to turn their customers into raving fans, and business owners, whether proprietors of the local delicatessen or CEOs of multinational corporations, will do whatever it takes to bring shoppers back into the store. Customer loyalty is a prized asset, and companies are finding more sophisticated methods of tailoring their specials to the needs of each shopper.
It starts simple. I'm somewhat loyal to an ice cream shop in the vicinity. While I do feel it's the best ice cream shop in the area, the owners encourage customers to keep coming back by offering a punch card. After each purchase, the cashier punches a hole in the card, and after the tenth hole punch, I can trade the card in for a free treat. While I try not to let such manipulation affect my snacking decisions, when the free ice cream approaches, I'll be more likely to stop by even when I should be watching my health.
Supermarkets have elevated this concept to new heights. Not only do major grocery stores provide loyalty cards as a way of offering discounts to most customers, but every purchase shoppers make while swiping or scanning your card is tracked in a massive database. The information is increasingly used to offer exclusive discounts. Based on shopping patterns, the card may offer discounts available only to a small subset of shoppers. These individualized automatic coupons make comparison shopping more difficult.
Today's "Ask the Readers" comes from a reader of both Get Rich Slowly and Consumerism Commentary.
A store I shop in recently changed their rewards program. In the past, the program offered points for every purchase, and the points could be later traded in for a discount on a future purchase. The store now uses the loyalty program to offer discounts on items, like supermarkets do, notifying me by email when the products I typically buy are discounted in the loyalty program. This isn't the only store where finding discounts and shopping for the best deals is harder, especially because discounted prices aren't advertised well and aren't available to the same people at the same time.
I want to be able to make the most of loyalty programs and get the best discounts available, especially for the products I really want and those that are the most expensive. How do use your loyalty cards to maximize your savings and take advantage of every possible, relevant discount?
I consider myself a satisficer in this area of money management, not a maximizer. If I'm getting discounts most of the time when I shop for groceries, household items, or any other product for which loyalty programs are available, I'm happy. I may not be shaving every cent possible off every purchase, but I'm doing well overall.
There are some shoppers, whoever, who have made an art of surveying the scene in every shopping opportunity and eking out the savings no matter what, without resorting to extreme couponing. This reader would appreciate any insight from expert discount-seekers. How do you take the most advantage of loyalty programs? What are some of your favorite tips and suggestions to save money on the items you buy most often?

An interesting period to examine possible contributions of large-scale, orographic (i.e., mountain), and lake-effect processes is from 0300-0500 UTC (0800-1000 PM MST) last night. Wide spread precipitation is falling over much of the Wasatch Front and Back, including in areas that are not downstream of the Great Salt Lake, such as the Cache Valley and northern Wasatch Front. There is also strong, persistent orographic precipitation enhancement over and upstream of the Wasatch Mountains, Oquirrh Mountains, and the Stansbury Mountains. Some of this topography is located downstream of the Great Salt Lake, but some of it isn't. Clearly synoptic and orographic processes are dominating.
Nevertheless, the loop also suggests a weak but persistent area of radar reflectivity over and along the Great Salt Lake. MesoWest observations show temperatures over the lake were slightly (perhaps 3-4F) warmer than over the surrounding landmass.
|MesoWest observations at 0400 UTC 8 March 2011.

Mark LaVarre (born February 21, 1965 in Evanston, Illinois) is a retired professional ice hockey right winger who played 65 games in the National Hockey League. He played for the Chicago Blackhawks.
He played Tier II Junior "A" with the Stratford Cullitons in 1982-83 and then was picked 119th overall by the Chicago Blackhawks in the 1983 NHL Entry Draft. LaVarre went on to play major junior with the North Bay Centennials and the Windsor Spitfires until 1985.
In that year he turned pro with the Nova Scotia Oilers and played two games for Chicago. In 1986-87 he scored 23 points in 58 games for the Hawks. The next season his NHL workload went down.
He was traded to the Hartford Whalers in 1988 and scored 20 goals for the Binghamton Whalers. He retired in 1990 after playing 6 games for Zurcher SC in Switzerland.
In the NHL LaVarre played in 78 games (all with Chicago) and scored 9 goals and 16 assists.

About us:
I am a pre-senior, born in Alberta but raised in the traffic of the Vancouver suburbs. I've always felt a connection to Alberta and after becoming a young widow I felt it was time to come 'home' from West Kelowna to Airdrie to start a new life.
While still in West Kelowna, one of my senior customers afflicted with MS, would have me drive her to Westbank's 'concert in the park' or to Penticton to see 'Elvis' in concert, along with a few airport trips. I enjoyed her company along with making sure that she was sure footed while using either her cane or walker.
After attending Airdrie's home and garden show and speaking with a representative from Community links. I was surprised to find out that there is no personal transportation service available for the seniors of this community and surrounding areas. All that is currently available is transit, taxi or if you're lucky enough to have a volunteer from City Links drive them to their appointment. This is where my inspiration to get involved with the seniors and their transportation needs developed.
For many elders, driving is no longer possible or even desirable, so whether the seniors lives in a care home, live with family members, or possibly still in their own homes, they still have appointments they need to attend or leisure activities to continue to enjoy. It may be going to the doctors, dentist or maybe they have an appointment at the hospital. Maybe they just want to get out and do some shopping at the local mall. Wherever they want To Go, I am licensed and insured to transport them and my vehicle is government inspected for safety.

You brag! From playing with this tool I think it is stupid to even dream of 100. But every warning/suggestion should be taken seriously and dealt with best way possible – without going minimalistic, crazy or not using horse power of server (if there are any!) Some things just can't be fixed easy and 8x or something beats crap any day. No 1. awareness tool for sure.

Helping refugees is one thing that everybody should be part of. Human beings have undergone many wars throughout their existance, and up to now many countries have become war-torn areas, Syria and Palestines; for instance.
Thousands of innocents have been scattered by wars, gunshots and battleships in all corners of the world , they have been forced to leave their homes, traditions, rights of belonging to the society, everything they have and entitled to in order to stay alive.
In Morocco, everyday you can see tens of refugees of the Syrian civil war on the side of the road seeking help. Those refugees have no place to go to and still some people treat them like animals. We as civilians of whichever countries should stop these behaviors, refugees deserve the right to protection and this is something we can provide. Furthermore, we have to stand by their side, help them financially, emotionally, act with solidarity towards them and why not protest so that we can send a clear message to the government that these people need to be assisted with food , shelter and clothes, jobs opportunities as well. We have to share this responsibility and we should all stand with refugees.
Dklin replied on Russia
Hello Mohammed. Nice to meet you. You are rhigt everubody don't go past this problem and should help peaple who lose you own house. This problem must speak about. If don't speak about it then will go on without the end.
minima replied on Turkey
Unfortunately, many people exclude refugees from society, and ignore them. Refugees are vulnerable to danger and stereotypes.
Despite everything, we should keep saying this;
we stand with refugees.
Dee replied on United Kingdom (Great Britain)
A person who has been forced to leave their country in order to escape war, persecution, or natural disaster.We should help to improve lives of refugees.
Dklin replied on Russia
Hi Joes! I totally agree with you.
Josep Anton replied on Spain
Today we are alive, tomorrow we can die.
Today we are at peace, tomorrow we can be at war.
The future is unpredictable. Think about it.
Khaled v replied on Turkey
I think the more important thing for Refugees to settle in to their new countries
is : the social harmony ( learning the new language ..norms of society...)
Khaled v replied on Turkey
It is a nice Video shows the bright side of our humanity.
Kostya B replied on Russia
For refugees in the new countries at first we do not have to reject but respect them because in a difficult situation can be every person.
Dklin replied on Russia
We stand together with Refugees!

The reason why I look at impulsive behavior is because mental disorders are the single largest contributors to disease burden in Europe. Impulsivity and compulsivity increase the risk of psychiatric disorders, especially Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, alcohol and drug abuse disorders, conduct disorder and antisocial disorders (including aggression). The urgency of addressing impulsivity and compulsivity is additionally strongly supported by the fact that these problems increase the risk for mortality.
My name is Yvonne Willemsen and I have started my PhD track at Radboud University in the Netherlands in October 2017. For my project I will assess the association between nutrition, gut microbiota composition and impulsive behavior in toddlers and young adolescents. In the following paragraphs, I will explain the first study that I am currently conducting.
Many previous studies have examined the association between nutrition and executive functions. Executive functions are cognitive processes in the brain that contribute to regulating thoughts and behaviors. Executive functions can be roughly divided into three core functions, namely: inhibitory control, working memory, and cognitive flexibility. Inhibitory control, which can be interpreted as the opposite of impulsivity, is necessary to suppress impulses. It is also an important core function of executive functions, as it supports working memory and cognitive flexibility. To date, studies have examined the association between nutrition and executive functions in general (1). Whether nutrition is related to inhibitory control specifically (in toddlers and young adolescents) is something that still needs to be investigated.
The next step of my study is to understand how nutrition is associated with inhibitory control. To explain a possible mechanism, we will look at the gut microbiota. The reason why the gut microbiota is a point of interest is because gut microbiota can secrete molecules that may influence brain function, and thus may influence inhibitory control (2). This connection between the gut and the brain is also known as the gut-brain axis. Gut microbiota composition can change according to nutritional intake, and can therefore play a role in the gut brain axis (3). To assess the association between nutrition, gut microbiota and behavior in toddlers and young adolescents, we will use questionnaires and different behavioural measures.

What is "Vintage"?
The word comes from the French vingt (twenty) and age (age). This term used to be used particularly to refer to objects from the 20s. These days, the word is used to refer to objects which have meaning or inspire nostalgia.
As a result, recycling old objects allows us to create a particular sensation in a piece of furniture, giving a pleasing retro aspect to a room.
In this article, we'll give you some ideas to make some truly beautiful objects and decorate a space with recycled vintage furniture.
1. Old Suitcases
If you have some old suitcases you could create a spectacular nightstand. Because they're normally quite rigid and made of leather, you could polish them and stack them one on top of the other. It's even better if they're different sizes and colours. Put a lamp on top with some photos and they'll look perfect.
2. Cabinets
Old furniture normally tends to be of good quality. They're normally made of wood and tend to be quite solid. Metal objects also tend to be high quality, and in general have impressive designs.
Although they might have gone out of fashion, these old pieces of furniture are unique, robust, and long-lasting. To make the most of them, we need to recycle them using a variety of methods.
Generally, people paint wooden objects with an old effect in colours which are different to the original. For example, if the wood is originally brown, to give it a more modern look, apply a veneer in mustard, or aqua marine, or orange, etc.
Pastel colours and light colours are very attractive choices for vintage furniture. Light colours also make furniture look more spacious.
3. Sewing Machines, Classic Recycled Vintage Furniture
Old sewing machines can often have wrought iron feet and look very beautiful. You could paint them an ochre or golden colour, or better apply a coloured product which prevents rust.
They also may have a wooden section with a box inside which houses the sewing apparatus. This is another section you could paint or varnish. You could use the flat part on the top to store books, photos, ornaments, etc. On each side you often have small compartments for storing things.
4. Old Chairs
If you have an old chair that never gets used, you could transform it into reading chair. Because they're normally bigger than the chairs we have these days, they tend to be much more comfortable.
If the chair has wooden legs, varnish them and cover the rest with an ochre or pastel light fabric. To finish, you could place a white cushion on it.
5. Picture Frames
Years ago, pictures tended to go in large ornamental and impressive frames and be hung on walls.
To make use of them and give them a new feel, you could take the photo frame (obviously having removed any photographs), and lightly sand it. Once you've cleaned away the sawdust you can apply some coloured paint to your taste.
There are some people who make use of these photo frames for mirrors instead of photos. Other people use them for modern paintings or posters. It all depends on your individual taste and the room that it's going in.
6. Old Chests
Old chests are often very sought-after when it comes to recycled vintage furniture. Why? Because they're really easy to adapt and reuse.
If you're not convinced about the way they look, one good idea is to clean them and polish them with a good wood polish so they look as good as new.
Another option is to place them on top of a nice, brightly coloured rug, so that the wood contrasts with the rug and makes it look more cheerful.
7. Cable Reels
Cables used to be rolled up around large wooden reels. If you can get hold of one, you can make it into a lovely, original garden table.
First you need to sand it down well so that you don't get any splinters. Then you could, for example, paint it with a green base paint. On the top surface you could paint flowers in various colours.
In the middle there is a hole, which is not too big. Here you could put a slate to cover it. Or you could even place a mini garden in the hole.
8. A Door
Sometimes people change the door to their home and don't know what to do with the old one. But you don't need to throw it away. Often you can reuse it and turn it into a small table or dining table.
All you have to do is remove the metal components, cut it down to size, sand it down, and polish it. Then colour it an unusual colour and add pieces to suit your preferences.
Doors are large and solid, something that you can make use of to make some durable and sturdy furniture. Remember that recycled vintage furniture allows you to explore new alternatives and techniques.
They don't have to be perfect at all. Often, they need to look a little less than perfect in order to look modern and fresh!

After criticism, Hema Malini expresses sorrow over child's death
Bollywood actress and BJP leader Hema Malini on Friday expressed "deep sorrow" over the death of a child in a road accident involving her car, hours after she was accused of not showing concern.india Updated: Jul 04, 2015 01:50 IST
Bollywood actress and BJP leader Hema Malini on Friday expressed "deep sorrow" over the death of a child in a road accident involving her car, hours after she was accused of not showing concern.
The Mathura MP said in a statement that the news of the infant's death left her "very sad and in a distressed mind."
"I can realise the hard time the family is facing after her death. I pray to God to give them strength to bear this loss," she said.
Two-year-old Sonam was killed and her father Hanuman Khandelwal, his wife Shikha, son Somil and sister-in-law Seema were injured when their car and Hema Malini's Mercedes collided Thursday night at Dausa in Rajasthan.
The actress-turned-politician underwent a surgery for a nasal fracture and other wounds at the Fortis Hospital in Jaipur and was doing fine, doctors said.
"A surgery of debridement (removal of damaged tissues and repair of lacerated wounds was carried out post-midnight," said P Tamboli, facility director at the hospital.
Anguished relatives of the Khandelwals said prompt medical aid to the injured could have saved the life of Sonam.
"Two kinds of treatment are being given to victims of the same accident. Hema Malini was immediately taken to the Fortis Hospital, while our family-members were sent to Sawai Man Singh Hospital, where treatment was given very late," said Rajiv Gupta, a relative of Khandelwal.
"Our only pain is that the treatment is not of the same quality that is being extended to the MP," he said.
Sunita Koolwal, a relative of Shikha, too echoed the same sentiments saying that they were disappointed by "step-motherly treatment" extended to the injured family.
She alleged that while the BJP MP was taken by road immediately after the accident, the other five were left behind.
SMS hospital medical superintendent Man Prakash Sharma said four of the injured were brought to the hospital at different time of the night –11:30pm on Thursday, and 3am and 4am on Friday.
66-year old Hema Malini was returning to Jaipur after a visit to the Mehendipur Balaji temple in Karauli district when her car hit a Maruti hatchback at the Lalsot bypass on the highway.
Her driver Mahesh Thakur was arrested on charges of rash driving and causing death by negligence.

'Rhymers are readers': How to help your child learn to read from day one
Children are preparing to read long before they can recognise letters.
Listening and speaking are the imperative foundations of early literacy skills. Children learn to read by combining and blending sounds together to form a word. Speech Pathologists refer to it as phonemic awareness skills, but most of us would just know it as identifying sounds and patterns in speech.
A great way to build these phonemic skills is with rhyme and alliteration. Nursery rhymes are a fantastic early introduction to language and verse. There's Jack and Jill and their hill, Humpty and his fall off the wall, there's Baa Baa and his bags full of wool.
They seem like frivolous fun and silly songs we learn and repeat over generations. We may think they don't have much impact apart from distracting an unsettled baby, or amusing a toddler but rhymes in language offer so much more than this.
LISTEN: Jules Sebastian talks about Reading Eggs on our podcast. Article continues after audio.
Did you know rhyme encourages children to guess and predict words?
Anticipating words is a great base for future reading because it aids young readers to make predictions about what will happen in a story. It assists comprehension and gives stories context, which helps when children are stuck on a word. Illustrations also provide clues to beginner readers.
Rhyme teaches sounds in language
Rhyme teaches children about same or similar sounds in words, and it helps them learn word families, such as 'cat, hat, sat, mat, bat…' Practicing these builds a library of sounds in their brains.
The sing-song nature of rhyming introduces children to the steady beat and rhythm of language, which helps not just when reading out loud but in daily conversation. Learning beat, teaches syllables and where to place the emphasis in words. Expression in language is a cornerstone of speech.
Rhyme + alliteration = repetition of letters and sounds
Speech Pathology Australia encourages children to have "meaningful language experiences through stories, music, nursery rhymes, play and LOTS of repetition."
Kids love imitation and repetition. Ask any parent if they've had a child shout "More! More!" or "Again! Again!" after a favourite song, book or game (or food!).
Repeating sounds and words, practicing words that have the same starting letter e.g. 'Parker is wearing a pirate hat', or the same end sound, 'seeking golden treasure / tricky things to measure' all help children form letters and words.
Most of all, rhyming is fun!
Not just through crazy nursery rhymes, but there's plenty of rhyming books that have stood the test of time.
Cat in the Hat and all Dr Seuss's amazing, outlandish concoctions!
Hairy Maclary from Donaldson's Dairy by Lynley Dodd.
Anything by Alan Blabey (Stanley Paste, Thelma the Unicorn) or Julia Donaldson (The Gruffalo, One Ted Falls Out of Bed, The Snail and the Whale) and of course, the master - Revolting Rhymes by Roald Dahl
All these rhyming books and songs contribute to fostering literacy in our children.
Speech Pathology Australia have links to communication milestones for children and a great poster that shows what children can "usually" do in terms of speech at ages 12 months right through to five years.
Kylie Orr has written a children's series. Fun, out loud reads with alliteration and rhyming to help language development from birth to five.

Confused about how to train a dog?
Training a puppy is always a challenge—especially if it is your very first one.
The process of training begins even before you bring your new family member home and it starts with you. As a dog owner and pack leader you must know that training requires consistency, patience, and positive reinforcement.
It is also important for you to know that building good habits take a long process which must begin as soon as you bring the little one home.
In this blog post, I'll help you understand the process of training a dog and help you raise a well-behaved puppy.
So, without further ado, let's jump right in, shall we?
Here we go!

How to Train a Dog Hack: Training Tools You Should Absolutely Invest In!
In this section of the blog post, I'll to go through a few items you need to purchase before you start training your puppy.
You should ideally get them before you bring your new puppy home so that you can start the training process as soon as your furry friend enters your home.
So, let's take a look at a few things you'll need to get started!
- Clicker
A clicker marks the desired behavior when it occurs both, naturally or as a response to a command or a cue. They come in various styles and shapes and sometimes are even built-in with the leash.
You can also download a clicker app on your smartphone.
- Target stick
Target sticks help in teaching your dog basic behaviors such as walking on a leash, or complex behaviors such as bow or spin. A target stick could be of a fixed-length, collapsible, or may even come with a clicker.
- Treats
Treats are positive reinforcements that keep your dog motivated. These could be anything from dog biscuits to fresh fruit or pieces of chicken. Following are a few things you should keep in mind while choosing a treat:
- It should be something that your dog really loves to eat
- It should be small (or cut up in small pieces)
- You should be able to carry it around with you
- Portable Mat
Portable mats act as a bed which becomes a sort of a 'safe space' for your dog. It could be anything from a blanket to a foldable bed just as long as it is washable and is easy to transport.
- Leashes
You'll come across a variety of leashes when looking for a training leash. The leash you should choose should be long enough for your dog to be able to walk comfortably. You can even use a waist-clip if you wish to keep your hands free when training your dog.
- Collar and harness
Your dog's collar must hold the ID tag, and you can also clip a leash to the collar when in need.
- Barriers
Barriers are essential if you want to keep your new puppy away from certain areas of the house—be it the fancy living room, stairs, the kids' play area, or the kitchen. Barriers are an important tool for house training your pup.
- Toys
Toys make an excellent reward for a playful pup if he's been a good boy consistently. You can pick any toy which your puppy seems to enjoy playing with.
- Treat bag
Treat bags make it easy for you to carry treats without getting your pockets dirty and smelling like dog food! They come in a variety of shapes, colors, and sizes and are easy to carry.
- Food Puzzles
Puzzles help keep your dog's mind sharp and also discourage unwanted behaviors.
Puppy Training Schedule: What's Age-Appropriate?
It is extremely important for a dog owner to know what to expect from a puppy at a given age and be prepared to train him accordingly.
Following graphic will explain what you can expect from your pup:
You should create your own training schedule keeping your pup's needs in mind. This is just a general timeline and you must not strictly adhere to it.
Each and every puppy is different in his own way and develops differently than the others.
The Psychology Behind Training Your Dog: Behaviorism on How to Train a Dog
When it comes to training a dog, Psychology has a lot of insights and 'hacks' to offer which, in this section of the blog, I'll be going through a few concepts of Psychology that'll help you become a better and more effective dog trainer.
Let's get started, shall we?
Ivan Pavlov was a Nobel prize winning physiologist who conducted a research on the workings of the human digestive system. Before the human trials, he conducted his research on dogs and found something that he dedicated his life to.
Wondering why this is relevant? Well, you'll know in a bit…
Pavlov's subjects were dogs and these canines used to start drooling in anticipation of food when they sounded the bell which announced the feeding time.
This means that even though the food wasn't physically present, the dogs had conditioned themselves to the sound of the bell because it was always followed by food.
And, that's what we now call Classical Conditioning.
The concepts of Classical Conditioning and that of Instrumental Conditioning are now widely used to train all sorts of animals (and even humans)!
By sharing these basic concepts of Psychology, I'm trying to teach you how to fish and understand how to train a dog on a deeper level.
I have made a graphic that'll help you understand the concept of classical conditioning without it being too technical or boring.
Let's take a look, shall we?
To understand the concept, there are a few things that you must know of:
- An unconditioned stimulus is something that activates a natural response.
In this case, the treat acts as an unconditioned stimulus as it activates your dog's salivary glands
- A conditioned stimulus is something that is coupled with the unconditioned stimulus or UCS until it activates the same response
In this case, the since the bell is accompanied with the food, it acquires the same response to the food which is why your dog salivates in anticipation of food when the bell is rung
- An unconditioned response occurs on a natural or biological level
For example, humans as well as dogs salivate when they see food in anticipation of it, we naturally blink our eyes when a foreign substance comes close to it, etc.
- The conditioned response is acquired through learning when you pair the unconditioned stimulus with the conditioned one.
In this example, the bell is associated with food for a long period of time, which is enough for your dog to understand that the bell will be followed with the food
If you understand the workings of conditioning, it'll be easier for you to grasp the concept of training your dog as well.
Classical Conditioning and Training Your Puppy
Classical conditioning one of the most common techniques is used to teach a dog some basic and complicated commands alike.
But, there's a catch.
Did you know that your furry friend can easily 'unlearn' commands?
In fact, this is one of the most common problems that dog owners face because their dog seems to unlearn a command as fast as he learns it.
Let me explain this in simple words.
In above graph, you can observe how it doesn't take a lot of time to acquire a conditioned response. However, you can also see how it doesn't also take time for extinction to take place as well.
I won't go into the concept of spontaneous recovery because it isn't relevant to us at the moment, but let's talk about acquisition and extinction.
Acquisition is when your dog understands that the food is associated with the bell. So, he starts salivating when the bell is rung.
However, the process of extinction takes place when you keep on ringing the bell without giving your dog the food or treat.
This is when your dog understands that the bell isn't followed by the food so, there's basically no need to salivate.
Reinforcements and Instrumental Conditioning
When introducing this section of the blog, I had also introduced the concept of Instrumental Conditioning. This concept has been used widely in training animals and is used by the experts out there.
And, you know what? It's also been used on you since your childhood!
I'm sure that you have heard the word 'reinforcement' a lot and now I'll help you figure out what it means in Psychology.
Let's Talk About Reinforcement
In simple words, reinforcement is a consequence or outcome associated with a type of behavior which generally increases the chances of it repeating.
It is something that basically helps increase the probability of a response occurring again.
So, if you give your puppy a treat when he's a good boy and he sits on command, you're giving him positive reinforcement. That treat will increase the probability of your dog sitting again when you command him to.
– The Two Types of Reinforcement
You maybe aware of the concept of positive reinforcement, but there are actually two types of reinforcements that you need to know about:
- Positive reinforcement: A favorable consequence to an acceptable behavior
- Negative reinforcement: An unfavorable stimulus removed when an acceptable behavior occurs
I'll go into detail about each one so that it is easy for you to grasp the concept.
– Positive Reinforcement: The Main Motivator
Did you ever get something you wanted after getting good grades in school?
That was positive reinforcement!
Basically, positive reinforcement means that you simply 'reward' your puppy with something that he'll love after he does something desirable—like relieving himself outside the house or sitting on command.
Positive reinforcement can be anything that your puppy likes such as your affection, a treat, a new chew toy, etc.
– Negative Reinforcement
Did you ever get grounded when you were a teenager?
That's negative reinforcement. The concept includes two main things:
- Removal of aversive stimuli
- Removal of positive stimuli
In the case of the removal of an aversive stimulus, always know that you are subtracting something unpleasant from your puppy's environment. For example, removing your puppy from 'time out' after he's acting like a good boy.
However, in the case of the removal of a positive stimulus…
Suppose you left your puppy home alone for a few hours and came back to find that your puppy chewed all of your nice shoes. Now, you can take away your pup's favorite chew toy for a few hours as punishment.
Why You Should NEVER Hit Your Puppy!
Most people think that spanking, hitting, kicking, their puppy is okay if he's done something really bad.
Usually, some cultures do that more than others.
This is known as the aversive technique where the puppy is physically hurt whenever he does something wrong. The idea behind this technique is that the pup would associate the pain with what he did and won't do it again.
But, does this really work?
In some cases, this technique does really work. However, it is known to be too risky.
The puppy is simply intelligent enough to understand that you are the source of his pain and not the task that he was doing. Eventually, dogs can ever snap at or bite their owners if this is continued.
Other than that, the puppy also learns the following things:
- A stranger's hand coming closer the pup will be associated with hitting and the pain associated with it
- The pup will start acting defensive and may even hurt those coming near him
- The pup would start considering the owner and all other humans as threats
- The puppy may feel that biting, growling, etc. are a part of normal play
The use of this technique can cause your puppy to be severely antisocial and may even result in behavioral issues later on.
"The quicker the positive reinforcement is delivered after the behaviour, the easier it is for the animal to learn the relationship between consequence and behaviour."
Let's Get to Work! Training Your Dog
In this section of the blog, I'll be going through the basics of training your puppy and walk you through the most basic training and commands.
So, let's just get started.
Considerations for the First Week
This is probably the most critical time to house train your pup. If the first week goes smoothly, the rest of the training would go amazingly well.
Before you even get your tiny bundle of fur home, you need to answer a few questions such as:
- Will you allow your pup on the furniture?
- Would the kitchen be off-limits for your puppy?
- Where would the pup be sleeping?
- Who would be in charge of feeding the puppy?
- Who is to clean after the dog?
Try to ensure that you have a set of rules and regulations in place before you bring your new puppy home. Have your family sit down together and divide the responsibilities among the members and communicate the do's and don'ts with them.
You must start the training process from the moment you bring your puppy home.
Keep in mind that the little one had just left the comfort and warmth of his mother and littermates behind and that your home is very new to him.
Following are a few things I'd like you to know about your pup:
- Pups are really fast learners and quick to pick new habits up—good or bad
- You should aim to establish a set routine during the first week—spoiling your puppy would only turn him into a brat
- You should never wake a sleeping puppy as they're growing as they sleep
- You should never be too harsh or hit the little one
Puppies are really cute and it is very hard not to let them in your bed or on the couch when they look at you with their sad puppy dog eyes. But, you need to realize that boundaries are there for a reason.
If you let your furry friend on your bed, chances are that he'll end up sleeping on there for the rest of his life. So, learn to say no.
You're in charge of making the rules and you should also be the one who follows them.
House Training a Puppy
In the first section, I'd like to go through something very important: house training a new puppy.
Keep in mind that you have to start this the moment you bring the little one home.
So, let's get started.
House Training Done Right
Puppies don't have a sense of what's right and what's wrong.
So, naturally, they don't know what's an appropriate place eliminate either. That's why pups go wherever they feel like. It is your job as the owner to teach your dog the right behavior.
There are two important things that you need:
- The right kind of environment
- Consistency and a routine
The Right Environment
Providing your puppy with the right environment can help you make housetraining him much easier task.
1. Understanding the Puppy's Eye View
Your puppy views the world a lot more differently than you do and thus isn't aware of your perception of what's right and what's wrong.
So, peeing on the rug isn't a bad thing in your puppy's eyes! He may think that it's the perfect spot to.
It is your job to teach your puppy the difference between right and wrong.
2. Teaching the Right Behavior
This will involve the concept of classical and instrumental conditioning.
For teaching your puppy to go outside, you will first have to rely on coincidence and take your pup outside and just wait…
If you don't like playing the waiting game, you can look for some 'cues' in your pup's behavior in order to determine if he wants to go to the toilet and then immediately take him outside.
What you basically need to do is to establish that your pup should always do his business outside the house and praise him or give him a treat when he does.
However, accidents are bound to happen. If your pup happens to pee or poop inside the house, you should do the following:
- Interrupt the pup in the middle and say 'Outside!'
- Scoop the pup up and take him outside to the designated spot
3. No Punishments Is Good
Accidents are bound to happen.
Your pup is just way too small to be able to control his bowel movements and his bladder. Punishing the little pup wouldn't be advisable as it could:
- Instil fear in your pup
- The pup will go in hidden and areas inaccessible to you in the house
- It may even lead to behavioral issues
Positive training is always a good option to go with in any case.
4. The Age and Toilet Training
The smaller the puppy, the smaller the bladder and obviously, the more frequent the need to pee.
The following chart will help you figure out what you should expect from your pup when toilet training him:
The puppy's breed is also an important determinant:
- Large breed dogs are easier to housebreak
- Smaller breeds have faster digestive systems that increase their need to eliminate
5. Crate Training
Crate training is a good option for people who have to leave their pups alone at home for a few hours.
Pups don't like to soil the place where they sleep and so, don't necessarily 'go' inside the house when you're not present.
6. Pick an Outdoor Spot
Your puppy will need a designated stop that'll act as a cue for him to take a wee and eliminate.
Make sure that the spot is:
- Providing you and your pup shelter from rain or wind
- Is close to your house
- Isn't a busy area (like a roadside)
You should always take your dog to this designated spot to do his business and not change the spot ever so often.
Creating A Routine
Consistency proves to be extremely important when you are house training a puppy.
Dogs are generally very good at keeping a track of time and do very well when put on a routine.
1. Feeding Schedule
Instead of topping off your pup's bowl letting him eat whenever he wants to, try to put him on a fixed schedule so that it is easier for you to expect his next bladder or bowel movement.
This trick will certainly help you a lot when housebreaking a dog.
You should take your pup out for a walk a good 15 or 20 minutes after feeding him and let nature do its work.
2. Potty Schedule
Maintaining a 'potty schedule' is as important as maintaining a feeding schedule. The more consistent you are, the more predictable your pup becomes.
Try and take out your pup:
- Right after waking up in the morning
- After every meal
- After playtime or naptime
- Right before going to bed
This will help you reduce the number of accidents for sure!
3. Housebreaking on Day One
Like I had said before, it is extremely important for you to start housebreaking your dog from day one.
The first thing that you need to do after bringing your puppy home is to give him some water to drink and take him straight out to the designated 'potty spot' and just wait for the little guy to take a leak.
Don't forget to praise him afterward!
Offer your puppy clean water to take a drink and then, take him out immediately to the designated 'potty spot'. As soon as your puppy goes to the bathroom, shower him with praises.
4. The Subtle Cues
Puppies are intelligent beings and try to communicate with you in their own way. Before a puppy has to absolutely 'go' he will try and warn you that he wants to go.
Following are the cues that you should keep an eye out for:
- Scratching the door
- Sniffing to find look for a spot
- Barking
- Squatting
- Restlessness
In order to ensure that no 'accidents' take place, you'll have to keep a close eye on your tiny friend.
5. Consistently Using the "Go Potty" Command
Associating a command with going potty is always a wise thing to do. It helps your puppy understand exactly what is expected of him.
So, use the concept of Classical Conditioning and make sure to say "Go potty" every time your dog is about to defecate and he will soon learn what that means.
6. Positive Reinforcement Will Help You
Positive reinforcement is something that I've talked about in the previous section and I feel that it is necessary when you're training your puppy to go outside.
Try and make sure that you always praise your puppy and give him a treat whenever he does something right.
Consequences play a big role in determining action.
The Basic Commands Your Puppy Needs to Know
In this section of the blog post, I'll go over five of the most basic commands your puppy needs to know.
The commands include:
- Sit
- Lay down
- Stay
- Come
- Heel
If you successfully teach your dog all five of these commands, they'll lay the groundwork for more advanced commands.
The 'Sit' Command
This is probably the very first command that you should be teaching your puppy. This command is mainly used when you want your puppy to be waiting patiently for you.
Following are the steps:
- Using the concept of Classical conditioning, command your puppy to sit whenever you feel that he's about to
- Using the concept of Instrumental Conditioning make it a point that you praise and reward your puppy when he sits
- You can even teach your pup a hand gesture for this command
- Practice this command consistently until your furry companion acquires it
Moving on…
The 'Lay Down' Command
The lay down is also referred to as the "Down" command which is mainly used to control the dog's hyperactive behavior.
The main thing that your dog needs to understand is that all behavior and activity must come to a screeching halt when this command is used.
You should follow these steps to teach your dog the command:
- Start by commanding your dog to 'sit' and then proceed to lower your puppy's head to the floor and use the command 'down'
- Once your puppy's face touches the floor, make sure to praise him and give him a treat
- You need to repeat this consistently until your puppy understands what you expect from him
– The 'Come' Command
Also known as the the recall, the purpose of this command is to ensure that your puppy comes to you whenever commanded to.
This command can be especially useful when you have your puppy out in public without a leash and it can also be a life-saving command.
I urge you to make sure that you practice this command consistently with your pup.
Following are the steps that you should follow:
- Start by commanding your dog to "sit" and try to sit as close as you can to your puppy, but not too close
- Take your pup's name and command him to come to you while pulling him closer to yourself
- Make sure to do this consistently and always reward your puppy when he comes to you
- Make sure you practice the command with your puppy in different situations as well as places to ensure that it is strengthened
– The 'Stay' Command
This is another important command that your dog needs to learn. This one can even be proved to be a life-saving one in the time of need.
You need to make sure that you practice this regularly for your dog to be able to stay put for a longer duration.
Follow these steps to teach your dog this command:
- Start by commanding your pup to sit
- As you hold onto your dog's collar, command him to stay
- Reward your dog when he makes no movement for a few seconds
- Repeat this process until your puppy stays put every time you use the command on him
- Make sure you gradually increase the 'stay' time
– Teaching Your Puppy to Heel
Out of all the basic commands that I've gone through, "Heel" is probably the most complicated and the hardest one to teach.
The purpose of this command is to ensure that your dog follows the right etiquette when you take him out for a walk.
Following are the steps that you should follow:
- Command your dog to sit next to your dominant leg—people usually prefer the right leg
- Follow this my commanding your puppy to "heel" as you take one step forward
- If your puppy tries to hurry past you, make sure that you pull him back to you and repeat the command
- Try and encourage your puppy to stay next to you and reward him adequately when he does
- Make sure you praise your puppy for being good—there's no better reinforcer than praise
I would like to conclude this section of the blog post by saying that being consistent with your puppy's training is extremely important if you don't want the commands to go extinct.
Following are also a few things that you need to keep in your mind as well:
- Make sure you take small breaks between the training sessions as your puppy can get frustrated
- Try not to be too harsh with the little guy
- Make sure that you keep the training sessions short as your puppy may not have a large span of attention
Learning Never Stops
It is true for humans and it is also true for dogs. Learning never stops.
With each stage, you'll find that there's a new challenge that you and your dog will need to overcome.
Which is why I included almost everything you need to know about how to train a dog in this blog.
I am of the opinion that you should lay a solid foundation during puppyhood to be able to easily combat all other challenges that life with throw at you and your puppy friend.
I feel that the knowledge and tools that I have provided you in this book will help you go a long way without you facing any problems. The underlying concepts of Classical and Instrumental conditioning will help you keep your pup in line throughout his life.
I hope that this blog post helped you learn how to train a dog!
Training a puppy can be fun but at the same time, it can be frustrating as well. Following are a few things that I'd like you to keep in mind:
- Reinforcement acts as an extremely powerful tool that you can use to your advantage to training your puppy.
- Hitting a puppy will cause severe behavioral problems in the long run so, I'd advise against it
- Patience is key when training a puppy
- You need to be consistent in your behavior and training for the best results
Puppies are very intelligent and can catch onto things rather quickly. It is your duty as the owner to teach your pup the difference between right and wrong.

Pedestrian Killed in Accident at a South Florida Airport
Earlier this month, a 51-year old man was returning home from a business trip when he was struck near Terminal H at Miami International Airport. The man, who was attempting to cross the street just outside the terminal, was struck by a Chevy SUV. Emergency workers arrived at the scene and tried unsuccessfully to revive the victim of the accident.
Police are currently investigating whether the driver of the SUV was at fault for the pedestrian's death. As WSVN.com reports, police need to know more to determine whether the driver is at fault, or whether it was an unavoidable accident. As of right now, the driver is not facing any criminal charges for her involvement in the accident.
A witness to the accident reports that the driver of the SUV was visibly shaken up after the accident. Officers interviewed her for over an hour before allowing her to drive herself home.
The Importance of Paying Attention While Driving
This tragic accident brings an important issue to the forefront; distracted driving. Regardless of whether the driver of the SUV will be held criminally responsible, there is another question as to whether she was negligent in failing to see the man crossing the street, or failed to yield to him if he was in a crosswalk.
There have been several laws passed recently, across the country, aimed at increasing drivers' awareness while behind the wheel. One such law was passed earlier this year in Florida, which banned texting while driving. In fact, many states have recently passed these laws. In Florida, it is a secondary offense to text while driving. This means that an officer cannot pull someone over for texting, but can issue a citation if he has another reason to pull over the driver.
In addition to the criminal consequences, evidence that a driver is texting while driving is strong evidence that the driver is being negligent. Negligence is the crux in a civil lawsuit for damages based on an auto accident. If the victim of the accident can show that the driver was negligent, and that the driver's negligence caused the victim's injuries, there is a good chance that the victim will be able to recover compensatory (and perhaps even punitive) damages. While texting while driving is one way a driver can be negligent, there are countless other ways; including applying make-up, shaving, talking on the phone, talking to a passenger, etc. These might not be illegal, but can still factor into a negligence analysis.
Involved in an Auto Accident?
If you or a loved one has been involved in an auto accident in Southern Florida, you should retain the services of an experienced auto accident attorney. As a victim, you have certain rights that, if go unexercised, might be permanently lost. So it is best to consult with an experienced Fort Lauderdale accident attorney immediately to ensure that your rights are preserved.
