click on Video to get both visual and audio. I found the slides slightly out of focus, but you can review the slideshow presentation later if you need to, I found the audio explanatory enough.

Rollyo search engine

Rollyo is a very handy search engine that allows you to choose the sites you want to search. For example, from their list of categories I chose Reference and typed in "affect effect." The sites retrieved were for dictionaries and grammar explaining the definitions and proper use of each word. In another search I checked Tech News, typed in 'Yahoo layoffs" and got the latest wire service and industry news. Fun, quick and accurate, give it a try.

Thanks to Iva Nunez-Martinez at the California City Branch for the tip.

Howdy!
