'Goodbye Miss Young. Good luck to you and don't forget to remember me to the folks back home.'Major Archibald Butt (1865-1912)The sinking of the Titanic on her maiden voyage in 1912 is one of the most dramatic stories in maritime history. The largest passenger steamship in the world, fitted with more advanced safety features than any of her rivals, she was proclaimed to be virtually unsinkable.More than 1,500 people perished when the Titanic went down - many from drowning but more from hypothermia on one of the coldest but most beautiful April nights anyone could remember in the North Atlantic. The survivors of the disaster brought home tales of heroism and cowardice, of calmness and panic, of honour and disgrace.Just how and why the Titanic foundered on such a beautiful April evening is the subject of this fascinating book. Author Rupert Matthews explores witness accounts and evidence gathered at the inquiries, along with more recent discoveries, to piece together a complete picture of what happened on that fateful night in 1912.

Potty Training - The Complete...

T. J. Katmore

Potty Training: The Complete Guide to Housetraining Dogs for Beginners, Learn Helpful and Effective Techniques to Potty Train Your Puppy Housetraining dogs is about consistency, patience and positive reinforcement. The goal is to instill good habits with your pet. It is also important to manage your expectations. You can't expect your puppy to be fully housetrained and fully independent before he's six month old. But you can certainly start housetraining them between one to six weeks. But certain factors need to be considered like the dog's size, breed and your personal effort that you would expend to housetraining your dog. They all play a big part in housetraining your dog. It is important to remember that house training your dog is not simply about keeping your dog on a regular eating, drinking and potty-outing routine. If you get impatience and shorten the potty-training of your puppy, there might be potty mishaps for months. It is important to teach our dogs not only to potty outdoors but to make sure he or she understands that inside is off-limits as well. In this audiobook, you will discover how to teach your puppy the right ways when it comes to potty-training. You will learn what to expect like how often your puppy may need to eliminate and when they should eliminate. You will learn about dog indicators so you would recognize if your pet needs to eliminate. You will also discover different potty training strategies and how to choose between indoor and outdoor training. Housetraining a puppy demands far more than just laying down a bunch of old newspapers on the floor. Housetraining requires caution, perseverance, commitment, and consistency. Establishing a routine and constant supervision are also key.
