All dog owners have the same dilemma. On one hand, they want to give their dog freedom to roam and exercise. On the other hand, they are worried about his safety.
Up until now the only solution was to install a costly conventional fence. Not anymore! No leashes or cages. Now there’s Radio Fence, the breakthrough alternative for dog owners. Radio Fence is an underground electrical barrier which works with a receiver on your dog’s collar. It beeps your dogs when he nears the boundary and gives him a small electrical correction if he tries to cross it. It keeps your dog safe and out of trouble without having to resort to expensive fences, ropes or chains that could injure your pet. Radio Fence creates a hidden barrier around your yard that safely contains your pet.

Item 51 – 53
Work expands so as to fill the time available for its completion. The general recognition of this fact is shown in the proverbial phrase, “It is the busiest man who has time to spare.” Thus, an elderly lady at leisure can spend the entire day writing a postcard to her niece. An hour will be spent in finding the postcard, another hunting for eyeglasses, half an hour to search for the address, an hour and a quarter in writing an essay and twenty minutes in deciding whether or not to take an umbrella when going to the pillar box in the street. The total effort that would occupy a busy man for three minutes, all told, may in this fashion leave another person completely exhausted after a day of doubt, anxiety and toil.

Item 56 – 60
What comes around, go around. The crud we dump in the oceans is now coming around for dinner. Every year, more seafood in Hong Kong is contaminated by toxic pollutants. Cases of tainted coral fish - - which includes cod, garoupa and snapper - - have multiplied almost nine times since 1989. Fourteen cases of paralytic shellfish poisoning, virtually unknown in previous years, were reported in the first quarter of 1994. And the problem of ocean pollution entering the food chain isn’t confined to Hong Kong. The territory’s health inspectors have also monitored catches from Indonesian and Malaysian waters. Says Assistant Director of Health Mohammed Ali: “We found it affects seafood regionally and globally.”
People who have eaten contaminated seafood experience weakness, nausea, dizziness, and blurred vision. To avoid poisoning, good hygiene is important . All seafood should be thoroughly washed and cleaned, and cooked completely. Avoid eating the internal organs of fish, where toxins tend to concentrate. And don’t eat big portions of fish or shellfish in one sitting.
