The month of June is time to celebrate "No More Fathers Day," at least in terms of our four-legged friends in the Valley.

Throughout the month of June, the North Alabama Spay-Neuter Clinic in Huntsville is offering discounted neutering procedures for all male kittens and puppies older than 8 months who weigh over two pounds.

Spaying and neutering pets is essential in helping control the number of wild or feral animals in the area and lowering the population strain on shelters all across North Alabama.

For more details on the "No More Fathers Day" campaign and the special rates on offer, please call North Alabama Spay-Neuter at 256-489-0418 or visit their website here.

Attention all people who work with computer monitors or televisions in low or reduced-light conditions: do you find you frequently suffer from headaches as your shift moves on? The reason may be eyestrain.

The bright lights and colors emitted by the screen take more energy for your eyes to process when compared to the dim lighting or the dark walls in your environment, and could thus cause the strain leading to headaches. The simple answer is to try and fill your line of vision with some soft light to at least balance the contrast. This can be achieved with a cheap desk lamp set behind the monitor.

One drawback to the desk lamp option is the heat the extra bulb or bulbs may put out. This was the case in my small home, where I had a three-bulb lamp providing ambient light behind our TV, which was giving me headaches during my primetime viewing. The solution was relatively cheap and adds a fun splash of color.

What can be said about the brilliance of Reading Rainbow, the television show that kept kids interested in books since 1983. Now, on the thirtieth anniversary of the show's premiere on PBS, host LeVar Burton has made it his mission to continue providing the show's positive literacy impact through to the digital age.

A series of 25 classic Rainbow episodes is available for purchase on Amazon, with Prime subscription holders given free access. The episodes span the show's entire original run. My personal favorite of this list, if you're interested, is "The Life Cycle of the Honeybee," with the title book read by Get Smart's Barbara Feldon.
