Normally when someone asks you to dance you can politely decline, but when that someone is a Bedouin desert guide you are obliged to clap your hands, shake your hips and pray that no one is taking pictures. But I am getting ahead…
  • https://globalphilanthropyumd.wordpress.com/2014/01/16/complex-borders/ Complex Borders | Global Philanthropy UMD - A few days ago our group said goodbye to Israel and crossed the Jordan. While this may seem like a simple transition, our recent NGO visits and discussions regarding the intersecting socio-political, economic, and cultural tensions between Israel, Jordan, and surrounding territories--particularly the ongoing immigration struggles between the Israeli government and African asylum seekers--made this leg of our journey more nuanced and complex. As our tour…

  • Donna J. Shaw - Allergic Reactions

    Used these on my animals....dogs & cats. The first ones, purchased from vet, no problem. The second round, purchased from Amazon, made huge sores and resulted in $$$$ vet bills!

  • Amy Martin - I actually dont usually like gummy vitamins because honestly i think most taste DISGUSTING

    Im gonna start this review off by letting you know that the bottle of orange vitamins is different than what is pictured in the description. Mine is the same brand ProVita Labs but it says VitaMoons instead of HairOmega. Mine is Vitamin B Complex gummies instead of the comple multivitamin gummies for hair, however on the side in the description it says Multiple B Vitamins, Vitamin A, C, D, E so it aids also as a multivitamin, I just wanted to state that mine is a different bottle so you receive the same. The strawberry one that i received is in fact the same exact one in the description picture.

  • Tina Artigliere - Software/Scanner is junk.. wished I did my research first

    I was so excited to finally get something to scan my receipts and documents so I could go as paperless as possible in my office. The problem? Everything worked OK for a few weeks and had to make some adjustments. It was time-consuming to figure it all out. Then, I just had so many problems with the scanner. I keep getting scanner failures where my receipts won't scan and software just says "scanner failure". So I contact technical support and try about 5 things and get it working again only to have the failure happen over and over and over. This thing is supposed to save my time and there's nothing more frustrating than wanting to scan things and not being able to get it to work right! I wish I never bought this thing and had researched other brands. I would NEVER buy anything from Neatworks again.

  • T. Luu - Not sure if it caused adverse reaction in my Miniature Pinscher

    When this product was first released, I was very excited to try it on my dogs because it seemed like a great long-term solution. I have been using Advantage monthly for my dogs and it works very well. But I wanted something even easier to use, and Seresto seemed to offer a solution.
