Q: Service has leaked ServiceConnection that was originally bound here I am using a BraodCastReceiver that starts an IntentService. Everythings look working good, but I get this error which I don't know its source:

Here's my BrodcastReceiver class:
public class MyReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {

    @Override
    public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
        String action = intent.getAction();
        if (action.equals("com.test.intent.action.LINE_ITEM_ADDED")) {
            Intent i = new Intent(context, MyIntentService.class);
            context.startService(i);
        }
    }
}

And here's my IntentService class:
public class MyIntentService extends IntentService {

    public MyIntentService() {
        super("MyIntentService");
    }

    @Override
    protected void onHandleIntent(Intent intent) {
        orderItem.addLineItem(orderId, lineItemId, var);
    }
}

A: The error message basically means that some component  created a binding to a Service and did not unbind from the service before the component was destroyed.
You will need to provide more information about your app's structure to get a better answer to your question.  I'll make some guesses, and maybe give you some ideas about things to explore.
I'm guessing that you are using a library from Clover and maybe also Merchantech. Or maybe the Clover library uses a Merchantech library.  I'm also guessing that orderItem is an instance of a class defined by Clover, not you.
The Android runtime destroys an IntentService after onHandleIntent() completes and there are no more Intent requests queued.  You can confirm this by adding the onDestroy() method to your MyIntentService with a Log command to show when it is called.  That means that in the code you posted for onHandleIntent(), your IntentService will be destroyed soon after the call to addLineItem() completes.
The stack trace suggests that the processing triggered by the call to orderItem.addLineItem() causes a binding to another service.  Somewhere, that binding is not being managed properly--maybe not unbound when it should be.  Is there something the Clover subsystem expects you do to "close" it or "release" resources when your component (Service or Activity) is being destroyed?

A: Solved:
The problem is due to the Clover SDK. They have not unbind a service that was bounded somewhere in the com.clover.sdk.v3.order.OrderConnector Class. So the problem is not relevant to the code snippet above.

Q: Ubuntu 22.04 seems to freeze in Virtualbox 6.1 on Windows 11 I have windows 11, and I downloaded virtualbox and installed Ubuntu 22 04. I followd this tutorial step by step.
Ubuntu finished installation without any issues, but when I try to run it, it seems to get stuck. I am including a snapshot below:

I have tried restarting my computer, but nothing seems to work. Can anyone help with the solution? Thanks in advance.
PS I have looked at posts such as Unable to install Ubuntu 22.04 LTS on virtualbox But does not seem to solve my problem

A: NOTE:  Windows OS must have Hyper-V services turned off, as well as Windows Linux System. Screen will show the V-chip icon in grey if issues there.
Also, I had downgraded to 6.1.34 same prob, but didn't realize the Extension pack was NOT down-graded. I downgraded first to try with a fresh VM install using 20.04 64 bit, same thing Freeze/hangs, then as I downgraded I got Applicatino memory access errors.
Lastly, I downgraded BOTH virtualbox and extension pack to 6.1.30, still using 20.04 and problems seemed to go away, TBD, works but will test out more.. since I wasted a day of time !?!?
Why can't virtualbox have BETTER ERROR and config checking to tell you :

*

*Your extension pack doesn't match the version of VB A?? .. and/or:

*Tell you that Hyper-V services or Windows System for Linux is running ???

Square Enix Announces The World Ends with You Sequel
Ever since The World Ends with You was initially released on the Nintendo DS in 2007, fans have been waiting for Square Enix to release a sequel. Since its original release, the game was able to gather a huge following of fans who have been patiently waiting for more than a decade for part 2.
In 2018, the game was given a Nintendo Switch remaster entitled The World Ends with You: Final Remix, while an anime adaptation is expected to release next year. Now, Square Enix has officially announced that the DS game will finally be getting a sequel entitled NEO: The World Ends With You.
The announcement came after a seven-day countdown found on the game's official website. NEO: The World Ends with You is a direct sequel to the original DS title from 2007, which features a brand-new set of characters.
This time around, these new characters will be the ones to participate in the "Reapers' Game," which is a battle for survival that takes up to one week. You will be following Rindo, the new protagonist of the series, who wakes up to find himself in Shibuya inside the death game. The other participants include Nagi, Fret, as well as Minamimoto who was in the first game.
One thing that makes NEO different from the original game is its visual style. We can definitely see that Kingdom Hearts creator Tetsuya Nomura still plays a huge part in this game's character design. However, The World Ends with You used to be a 2D side-scroller, whereas NEO has switched over to fully-rendered 3D characters.
We can imagine that there will be dedicated fans of the original game who will be irked by this change. However, based on what we can see from the gameplay clips, the changes made to NEO: The World Ends with You's art direction and perspective will definitely spice up the series' take on action-RPG combat.
In addition to that, the way Shibuya is rendered in this upcoming game will look familiar to Persona 5 fans, as it seems that both RPGs have a similar way of representing the popular hotspot.
Ever since The World Ends with You was released, Producer Tetsuya Nomura has always been so vocal about wanting to return to the franchise. This possibility became even more likely after the Nintendo Switch remaster was released in 2018.
However, discussions surrounding the game died down after the Nintendo Switch remake didn't sell as well as the company had hoped. The fans were pretty much caught by surprise when it was announced that the game would be getting an anime adaptation.
At the same time, this was a good thing because it meant that Square Enix hadn't given up on the series yet. Now that NEO: The World Ends with You is set to release some time in Summer 2021, we assume that the anime adaptation is the company's last attempt to introduce new players to the original game.
The trailer was released in English, which indicates that NEO: The World Ends with You will be getting a global launch. More specifically, the game will have English subtitles with Japanese audio, which could mean that an English dub is still in the works or the game will stick with Japanese audio upon launch.
NEO: The World Ends with You will be released on PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch this 2021.

PROFILE: Wanja Maina; Global citizen empowering people living with disabilities
By Guest writer For Citizen Digital Published on: July 15, 2021 04:06 (EAT)
Martina Navratilova, one of the greatest tennis players to ever live, once said, "Disability is a matter of perception," therefore only you can decide to look at life beyond your disability.
This week on #KenyaWomenSeries we feature Wanja Maina, an inclusion advocate and the founder of 'Friends of Wanja' Initiative, a mentorship programme at Joy-Town Primary School that supports learners with disabilities to feel empowered to learn. Others describe her as the influential face behind Hummingbird+.
Well, she describes herself as a global citizen and sees the world as a place of unlimited possibilities where we are all called, not only to improve our lives, but also the lives of those around us.
She has defied all odds by showing that persons living with disabilities are not objects of pity who always need to be helped. Her activism around inclusion of persons with disabilities has been celebrated, nationally and internationally, earning her several titles.
She enjoys travelling, cooking, creating and consuming great content.
"I started the 'Friends of Wanja Initiative' when I was in my second year at the university. The aim was and still is, to successfully get people on a weekend to spend time with students with disabilities for mentorship. The intention is to bridge the existing gap in terms of people who deliberately mentor and hold the hands of students with disabilities because, often society acts like it does not expect them to succeed as much.
Since its inception, the initiative has touched the lives of over 2,000 learners with disabilities and their parents. Parents of people with disabilities require mentorship too and encouragement so that they can see their children as people who have a future. I love doing it because I know too well, I have come this far because of mentors and people who inspire me and make me see the world in a positive light.
No one really chooses to be different in life. It is easier when you are like everyone else and when you blend in and be just like your peers. You see, I was born a normal child but at the age of four, I became unwell. It was described as normal fevers that are common with all other children. Then I was taken to the hospital and an injection gone wrong led to my disability. This is what we call professional and medical negligence. Sadly, there are so many people who have suffered through this path."
You run a Facebook page called the Hummingbird+ that has a huge following and where you share stories that impact lives. What was the inspiration behind starting the page? Any impact so far?
The page is my brainchild. I love to create content and to have an outlet where I can write the things I care about. It has grown organically to over 250,000 followers and going strong. I also started the page because I noticed there are many stories out here that never see the light of day on mainstream media.
Sometimes these stories on Hummingbird+ catch the eye of mainstream media who pick it and run with it. I like to write about people's achievements, gender-related topics, and inspiring figures in our community.
The page is also an avenue for me to share stories about myself. If you look at both mainstream and social media, people with disabilities are portrayed as objects of pity and people who always need to be helped; The danger of a single story by Chimamanda.
I am a Kenyan, young urbanite woman who is living boldly despite my challenges. It is self-advocacy in a way. I would like to see media represent diverse people. We all have a role in questioning why people looking differently are not featured on media. Representation is very important in my view.
Having been in mainstream disability activism for the past 12 years, what are some of your proudest moments and the events that have shaped these?
When you have a disability of whatever form, you start feeling and seeing life differently from a young age. While in primary school; a special school in Thika called Joytown Primary School, I started a "quiet revolution" questioning why our friends who used wheelchairs were sitting together in a secluded room in the dining hall while the rest of us were seated in the hall. It did not make sense to me. I felt that all students should sit wherever they wanted.
This revolution worked magic. I started by bringing one of my friends to sit with us during lunchtime, and before we knew it, the secluded room was almost empty. For me being an activist/advocate is not a profession but a way of life. We live in a world that oppresses people, especially women and there is a need for us to push back and say hell no!
My activism work has been appreciated and awarded by different organizations including the United Nation agencies and the Government of Kenya. There are many people who know me and appreciate my bold, outspoken nature. A few weeks ago I was featured in the Daily Nation as one of the young women advocates on inclusion. In April 2021 I was voted as the most prominent and influential young person with a disability.
My proudest moment at the end of the day is that when I sit and curl up in my little grey sofa in my apartment, I know that I have used my voice as a force for good and that someone out there is getting educated or living an improved life because I chose to speak up.
With the onset of COVID-19 in Kenya in March 2020, you began coordinating a disability and COVID-19 loose network of 25 organisations of people with disabilities across Kenya. Please share with us your experience coordinating this and some of the challenges and lessons learnt.
As we came to terms with the reality that COVID-19 was here with us, people started organizing, getting food donations and cash transfers. But I realized no one was planning or pushing for people with disabilities to get food, money etc. I took the opportunity and set up a team and we immediately put our heads to work, luckily, our coordinated efforts unlocked resources.
AMREF Kenya trained PWDs in nine Counties on coronavirus and prevention, as well as donating Personal Protective Equipment. UNFPA gave girls and women with disabilities some dignity packs and the National Youth council gave food and sanitizers to PWDs. Many PWDs were quickly added to the cash transfer lists by the government. I am happy because I learnt one lesson; not to think that others should take lead, if it is important to you wake up and take the lead.
Please enlighten us about some of the ways we can support disability inclusion in the COVID-19 response?
The Government and others involved should worry about the "weakest link". We are as strong as the weakest link. Why are people with disabilities not on top of the list of priorities when it comes to people being vaccinated? It is sad as PWDs are among the most at risk if you look at it critically.
There is also a big need for programming around sexual and gender-based violence that touches on women and girls with disabilities. The cases are so many and almost normalized which should never be the case. We need dedicated resources towards curbing this vice.
Lastly, you cannot shave a man in his absence. How comes not many PWDs sit on decision-making committees and tables?
You have served on several boards, please tell us about some of them and your experience serving there.
The National Government Affirmative action fund Nairobi County: I learnt the sad reality that PWDs are often left behind in terms of access to funds meant for affirmative groups. When I served there, I pushed to have more PWDs get affirmative funds and bursaries. I am happy that many people were able to benefit and many kids were able to access education because I was in the room and spoke.
The Nairobi County Youth Board (2013 to 2017) under then Governor Evans Kidero: I was very instrumental in voicing challenges of PWDs to the office of the Governor. I lobbied and pushed names of students to be on the bursary list where the Governor was sponsoring them at 100 per cent. One of those that I pushed for is now in second year doing Actuarial Science at a local university.
UNFPA Youth Advisory Panel; an organ advising UNFPA Kenya on how their programming can be more youth and disability friendly: I travelled and got an opportunity to bring others along which was instrumental as travel opens one's mind and breaks down preconceived stereotypes. It remains my proudest moment to know that all is not lost and that our voices matter.
Karuri Gakure Secondary Board of Management: This year we have taken one student to the university. It has taken us six years to get here. Considering the entry behaviour with students who have scored less than 200 marks in KCPE, we count that as success.
African Youth and Adolescents' Network: I sit in the executive committee and contribute effectively on youth matters in the East and Southern African region.
Please talk to us about 'The Global Diva Ambassador Program (GDAP), an outreach program that seeks to shape the perception of what "disability" looks like by promoting women of colour through various media platforms, and which you are one of their ambassadors.
This program was started by Dr. Donna Rena Walton, a prominent woman with a disability in America. She is well respected in many circles including Hollywood circles. She asks why certain people are never considered for advertising and in movies. Why for example don't we see a person with a disability in Kenya advertising a fizzled drink or a fast-moving consumer good or a restaurant?
Why is it that on media people with disabilities are beggars and often portrayed as seeking or in need of pity? In my role as an ambassador, I am fighting against this seclusion. I hope and pray that soon I will be able to talk about products I love because I am a consumer i.e marketing and influencing them.
It is great to be part of this program as I have become more critical and more aware of representation. I have also interacted with Americans who are black/ people of colour and yes, racism and this seclusion is very much alive in 2021. We need a big change!
If you were to choose two values that are most important to you that you live by and keep you grounded and shape the way you work and live, what would they be and why?
Authenticity: I like to be real. What you see is what you get. I like to speak and write about what I feel and what I am convinced about without worry that the world is judging me. Sometimes adulting comes with lots of fakeness and the need to conform. I pray that I remain authentic, real and strong without the pressure to pretend.
Faith: In a world where I am likely to be overlooked and passed by when it comes to opportunities, I choose faith in myself, in my action and my day-to-day life. Faith comes with the boldness to say that I am equally deserving and capable, and I am in the room as an equal, and not as a tokenism gesture.
How do you describe yourself, and how do others describe you?
I am a strong-willed person who believes that my voice matters, one who sees good in others. I am scared of failure. This is my biggest weakness, but I am working on it.
Others say I am bold, confident and capable of much more. However, they point that I am not very patient especially when I do not see the light or when something does not make sense to me. I am working on building the virtue of patience.
Any parting shot?
When one has a disability and is a woman, they experience double marginalization. Constantly pushing boundaries and advocating for self and others can leave one stretched too thin and drained. I, therefore, wish to emphasize the need for mental health and well-being for activists and advocates because one cannot pour from an empty cup.
Kenya has a huge population of people with disabilities who are consumers of goods and services across all sectors. Therefore, there is a need for marketers and advertising agencies to look at this population from an economic perspective and tap into it.
Lastly, I urge all young women with disabilities to be bold and to speak up, as well as seek opportunities to advance their education. They should horn their skills because they have to be twice as good to be considered which means they will be twice as good in skills.

Passover, the eight-day Jewish Festival of Freedom, starts today. One of the central aspects of the holiday is unleavened bread known as matzo or matzah. And while you could certainly buy store-bought versions (the classic rectangular, dry, cracker-like sheets so familiar to many), making homemade matzo is simple and easy, including in gluten-free form.
We've made ours circular, though you could easily modify the technique to get right angles, if you so desire. As we told a reader on Facebook, the recipe is up to us; the shape is up to you! =) Oh, and you're also responsible for making sure your kitchen is kosher and your house is free of chametz. No gluten, no chametz, no problem.
1. Place a pizza stone on the middle rack of your oven, and preheat to 500 deg F.
2. In a food processor, pulse to combine the flour and salt.
3. Add the olive oil and pulse to incorporate completely.
4. With the food processor running, drizzle in the water until a dough ball forms.
5. Scrape out the food processor and turn the dough onto your work surface. It should be slightly tacky at most.
6. Form the dough into a log and cut into 12 equal pieces. Cover with a piece of plastic wrap or a towel to prevent from drying out.
7. Roll each piece of dough between two pieces of plastic wrap until 6 inches in diameter. It will be very thin.
8. Dust a pizza paddle or bottom of an inverter cookie sheet with flour.
9. Remove the top piece of plastic, and flip the dough onto the floured surface. Then remove the second piece of plastic wrap (which should now be on top).
10. Dock the dough with a fork and sprinkle with sea salt.
12. Slide the matzo onto the preheated pizza stone. Cook 1:30 per side.
13. Repeat until all matzo are cooked.
The browning of the matzo is what really brings out the classic flavor. If you leave your matzo too blond, it won't have the characteristic quality.
This recipe is: gluten-free, dairy/lactose/casein-free, peanut-free, tree-nut-free, fish-free, shellfish-free, soy-free, vegetarian, vegan.
Thank you for the matzo cracker recipe. After searching the internet, your recipe looks and sounds the best.


Thank you for you interest in our website. I'm glad it has been helpful. We do not live in Brown County (sigh), and I do so much envy you the ability to drive there and home in a day. We have hopes of retiring there in the future, but one never knows.
For detailed information about graves, as well as obituaries, I strongly suggest you contact the good people who run the Versailles Area Genealogical & Historical Society. Go to our page at this url: http://www.rootsweb.com/~ilbrown/brnadd.html, and note their web listing on that page. They have specific hours when they are open, but I think they can accommodate you for a special visit if they are informed ahead of time. It's well worth the visit. I also recommend checking with the courthouse (county clerk), or the local public library, both in Mt. Sterling. They will have additional information.
I hope these ideas will be of some help to you.
Regrding the Daniels family: The 1900, 1910 and 1920 census would be of great help in verifying the parents of the three last individuals. I suggest you use Ancestry.com (if you have it) and if not, a local LDS Family History Center will have it, free of charge.
George Daniels ( 2 Nov 1869-2 Nov 1913) Brother of Aaron Daniels.
Freddie A. Daniels (3 Jun 1905-3 Jan 1908) Parents not specified.
Ruth M. Daniels (28 Jul 1900-27 Jan 1920) Parents no specified.
Cleo B. Daniels (23 Mar 1912-4 Jul 1927) Parents not specified.
NOTE: Lenona B. Wheeler and Ida M. Wheeler are the daughters of Thomas F. and Amanda Wheeler, who are also buried in this cemetery.
There is a will probated for Aaron Daniels (1946). As the Curcuit Court Office ask for his probate in Box #160. George Daniels (1913) is in Box 60. I didn't find a probate for John C. Daniels, but there is one ofr Charlotte (1915) in Box 73.
I saw your answer to Beverly Gauerke of September 17, 2003 on the research page about the Craigs and Charlotte and John C. Daniels and appreciated the information, but I was at Mt. Sterling yesterday to take pictures of the graves of the Daniels and couldn't find where the graves were. Do you have this information or where could I find this information. Also, I wanted to know about the rest of the children.
I would love to have obituaries of these people. Does your library have these or where would I write to find out where they would be? Is there a book of these that I could purchase? I just would like to know how to get this information. Sherman E. and Mable Hill Daniels are buried at Mound Cemetery at Timewell and I took pictures of their graves, but I would like to know more about them. My grandmother was a Bain and Charlotte Daniels was a Bain also. Any help that you can give me about this family would be greatly appreciated.
I live in Canton, IL and it was a beautiful day yesterday, so my husband and I took a drive to Mt. Sterling yesterday and could again if I have the needed information.


When your business is struggling, seeking outside investment can be a very tempting idea. But is it the right move? We talked about that very thing a while back, but we still get questions about it regularly. That's why we're rebroadcasting this archived episode. We discussed the different kinds of investment, the alternatives to accepting outside help, and the dangers inherent in doing so. This one's important, friends. Click play!


I opened a maintenance request on 9/4 for my AC. It stopped working during the night. Once the office opened and my request was reviewed the maintenance team came over. They had everything fixed fairly quickly. I have opened a few maintenance requests in the 2+ years I have lived here. The maintenance team always responds quickly and they do a great job!
I love living here at the Grand Legacy. You cannot find a better staff, maintenance is rarely needed yet always expedient. Tabitha helped me from the beginning and is my go to in the office. I look forward to many more years here.
Thank you for the prompt attention to the maintenance request today for fixing the front door to our apartment complex. Y'all do a great job on every front.

The world's human population is presently growing exponentially (Figure 19.3.1).
Figure 19.3.1: Human population growth since 1000 AD is exponential.
A consequence of exponential growth rate is that the time that it takes to add a particular number of humans to the population is becoming shorter. Figure 19.3.2 shows that 123 years were necessary to add 1 billion humans between 1804 and 1930, but it only took 24 years to add the two billion people between 1975 and 1999. This acceleration in growth rate will likely begin to decrease in the coming decades. Despite this, the population will continue to increase and the threat of overpopulation remains, particularly because the damage caused to ecosystems and biodiversity is lowering the human carrying capacity of the planet.
The age structure of a population is an important factor in population dynamics. Age structure is the proportion of a population in different age classes. Models that incorporate age structure allow better prediction of population growth, plus the ability to associate this growth with the level of economic development in a region. Countries with rapid growth have a pyramidal shape in their age structure diagrams, showing a preponderance of younger individuals, many of whom are of reproductive age (Figure 19.3.3). This pattern is most often observed in underdeveloped countries where individuals do not live to old age because of less-than-optimal living conditions, and there is a high birth rate. Age structures of areas with slow growth, including developed countries such as the United States, still have a pyramidal structure, but with many fewer young and reproductive-aged individuals and a greater proportion of older individuals. Other developed countries, such as Italy, have zero population growth. The age structure of these populations is more conical, with an even greater percentage of middle-aged and older individuals. The actual growth rates in different countries are shown in Figure 19.3.3, with the highest rates tending to be in the less economically developed countries of Africa and Asia.
Figure 19.3.3: Typical age structure diagrams are shown. The rapid growth diagram narrows to a point, indicating that the number of individuals decreases rapidly with age. In the slow growth model, the number of individuals decreases steadily with age. Stable population diagrams are rounded on the top, showing that the number of individuals per age group decreases gradually, and then increases for the older part of the population.
Figure 19.3.4: The percent growth rate of population in different countries is shown. Notice that the highest growth is occurring in less economically developed countries in Africa and Asia.
Many dire predictions have been made about the world's population leading to a major crisis called the "population explosion." In the 1968 book The Population Bomb, biologist Dr. Paul R. Ehrlich wrote, "The battle to feed all of humanity is over. In the 1970s hundreds of millions of people will starve to death in spite of any crash programs embarked upon now. At this late date nothing can prevent a substantial increase in the world death rate."2 While many critics view this statement as an exaggeration, the laws of exponential population growth are still in effect, and unchecked human population growth cannot continue indefinitely.
Figure 19.3.3 Age structure diagrams for rapidly growing, slow growing, and stable populations are shown in stages 1 through 3. What type of population change do you think stage 4 represents?
Stage 4 represents a population that is decreasing.

10 of the Best New Young Adult Books in December 2015
By Eric Smith | December 4, 2015 | 4:38pm
Books Lists Young Adult
It's almost sad to see 2015 wind to a close, because it's been an amazing year for fans of Young Adult novels. Although the year is ending, it's clear that many publishers have saved some of their best titles for last. From romantic tales to bold explorations of new settings, epic sci-fi thrillers to heart-wrenching dramas, the end of the year still leaves plenty to anticipate.
1. Not If I See You First by Eric Lindstrom?
Release Date: December 1st from Poppy
Why You'll Love It: First, let's talk about this cover. If you run your fingers over the title, you'll discover that it's written in braille on the front. It's beautiful, and so is what's inside: a story about a blind teen girl who leads her life according to a set of rules. It's packed full of memorable characters and strong friendships (something I LOVE seeing in YA), with a really great contemporary love story set right in the middle. ?
Description: Parker Grant doesn't need 20/20 vision to see right through you. That's why she created the Rules: Don't treat her any differently just because she's blind, and never take advantage. There will be no second chances. Just ask Scott Kilpatrick, the boy who broke her heart.
When Scott suddenly reappears in her life after being gone for years, Parker knows there's only one way to react—shun him so hard it hurts. She has enough on her mind already, like trying out for the track team (that's right, her eyes don't work but her legs still do), doling out tough-love advice to her painfully naive classmates and giving herself gold stars for every day she hasn't cried since her dad's death three months ago. But avoiding her past quickly proves impossible, and the more Parker learns about what really happened—both with Scott, and her dad—the more she starts to question if things are always as they seem. Maybe, just maybe, some Rules are meant to be broken.
2. Tarnished by Kate Jarvik Birch?
Release Date: December 1st from Entangled Teen?
Why You'll Love It: Tarnished is the follow up to Kate Jarvik Birch's Perfected, which hit bookstores last year. The story is a heavy one, set in a future where the government allows genetically engineered humans to be bought and sold as pets amongst the rich and powerful. Ella is one of those pets, and finds herself in a position where she can help others—or continue living the safe, peaceful life of a playmate. The sequel picks up where the first left off, continuing Ella's adventure, as pets start turning up dead around the country.
Description: Ella was genetically engineered to be the perfect pet—graceful, demure…and kept. In a daring move, she escaped her captivity and took refuge in Canada. But while she can think and act as she pleases, the life of a liberated pet is just as confining as the Congressman's gilded cage. Her escape triggered a backlash, and now no one's safe, least of all the other pets. But she's trapped, unable to get back to Penn—the boy she loves—or help the girls who need her.
Back in the United States, pets are turning up dead. With help from a very unexpected source, Ella slips deep into the dangerous black market, posing as a tarnished pet available to buy or sell. If she's lucky, she'll be able to rescue Penn and expose the truth about the breeding program. If she fails, Ella will pay not only with her life, but the lives of everyone she's tried to save.
3. Their Fractured Light by Amie Kaufman and Meagan Spooner?
Release Date: December 1st from Disney-Hyperion?
Why You'll Love It: Their Fractured Light is the final book in what's turned out to be an awesome trilogy. If you somehow slept on this great series, it kicks off with a luxury spaceliner (you know, like a space yacht) crashing into a planet after being ripped from hyperspace. The only survivors? A poor war hero and the daughter of the richest man in the universe. You may want to skip the description below if you missed the first two books. Otherwise, read on, and say farewell to an awesome sci-fi YA epic.?
Description: A year ago, Flynn Cormac and Jubilee Chase made the now infamous Avon Broadcast, calling on the galaxy to witness for their planet and protect them from destruction. Some say Flynn's a madman, others whisper about conspiracies. Nobody knows the truth. A year before that, Tarver Merendsen and Lilac LaRoux were rescued from a terrible shipwreck—now, they live a public life in front of the cameras, and a secret life away from the world's gaze. Now, in the center of the universe on the planet of Corinth, all four are about to collide with two new players, who will bring the fight against LaRoux Industries to a head.
Gideon Marchant is an 18-year-old computer hacker—a whiz kid and an urban warrior. He'll climb, abseil and worm his way past the best security measures to pull off onsite hacks that others don't dare touch. Sofia Quinn has a killer smile, and by the time you're done noticing it, she's got you offering up your wallet, your car and anything else she desires. She holds LaRoux Industries responsible for the mysterious death of her father and is out for revenge at any cost. When a LaRoux Industries security breach interrupts Gideon and Sofia's separate attempts to infiltrate their headquarters, they're forced to work together to escape. Each of them has their own reason for wanting to take down LaRoux Industries, and neither trusts the other. But working together might be the best chance they have to expose the secrets LRI is so desperate to hide.
4. All We Left Behind by Ingrid Sundberg?
Release Date: December 8th from Soho Teen?
Why You'll Love It: A heavy read about two teens falling in love while wrestling with their past, this book hits a lot of hard topics. Loss, abuse, damaged families. It's definitely the kind of book you read on a snowy day under a blanket with some tissues and a hot cup of tea. If you've read books by Courtney Summers, this might be one for you. ?
Description: When Marion Taylor, the shy bookworm, meets sexy soccer captain Kurt Medford at a party, what seems like a sure thing quickly turns into a total mess. One moment they're alone in the middle of a lake, igniting sparks of electricity. The next, they're on dry land, pretending they've never met. But rather than the end, that night is the beginning of something real, terrifying and completely unforgettable for them both. As Marion and Kurt struggle to build a relationship from the fractured pieces of their pasts, every kiss they share uncovers memories both would rather keep buried. Marion desperately wants to trust Kurt and share the one secret she's never told anyone—but some truths aren't meant to be spoken out loud.
5. The Trouble With Destiny by Lauren Morrill?
Release Date: December 8th from Delacorte?
Why You'll Love It: Here's the thing, Paste readers. I adore Lauren Morrill. In fact, I gave copies of her book, Meant To Be, away at my wedding. She's one of the best contemporary YA authors out there, and I've been waiting for The Trouble With Destiny all year. And at last, it is here. Destiny is a wonderful contemporary romance set on a cruise ship that breaks down. You'll laugh and sigh your way through this book, I promise. And if you haven't read Morrill yet, get on that. In addition to Meant to Be, Being Sloane Jacobs is another brilliant book. ?
Description: With her trusty baton and six insanely organized clipboards, drum major Liza Sanders is about to take Destiny by storm—the boat, that is. When Liza discovered that her beloved band was losing funding, she found Destiny, a luxury cruise ship complete with pools, midnight chocolate buffets and a $25,000 spring break talent show prize. Liza can't imagine senior year without the band, and nothing will distract her from achieving victory. She's therefore not interested when her old camp crush, Lenny, shows up on board, looking shockingly hipster-hot. And she's especially not interested in Russ, the probably-as-dumb-as-he-is-cute prankster jock whose ex, Demi, happens be Liza's ex-best friend and leader of the Athenas, a show choir that's the band's greatest competition. But it's not going to be smooth sailing. After the Destiny breaks down, all of Liza's best-laid plans start to go awry. Liza likes to think of herself as an expert at almost everything, but when it comes to love, she's about to find herself lost at sea.
6. Instructions for the End of the World by Jamie Kain
Release Date: December 8th from St. Martin's Griffin?
Why You'll Love It: Another hard hitting YA novel about friendship and family, it's the setting of Instructions for the End of the World that make this book particularly gripping. Pulled into a community that's off the grid by a survivalist father, a teen girl has to wrestle with either maintaining the family's home as it breaks down without her parents or move on to an un-prepped real life. I love seeing YA novels that explore new places and untouched themes, and survivalists prepping for the end of the world… that is an interesting place to explore. ?
Description: When Nicole Reed's father forces her family to move to a remote area of the Sierra Foothills, one without any modern conveniences, it's too much too handle for her mother, who abandons them in the middle of the night. Heading out to track her down, Nicole's father leaves her in charge of taking care of the house and her younger sister, Izzy. For a while, Nicole is doing just fine running things on her own. But then the food begins to run out, the pipes crack and forest fires start slowly inching their way closer every day.
Wolf, a handsome boy from the neighboring community, offers to help her when she needs it most, but when she starts to develop feelings for him, feelings she knows she will never be allowed to act on once her father returns, she must make a decision. With her family falling apart, will she choose to continue preparing for tomorrow's disasters, or will she take a chance and really start living for today?
7. Wandering Star by Romina Russell?
Release Date: December 8th from Razorbill?
Why You'll Love It: The second book in Romina Russell's epic sci-fi fantasy series Zodiac hits shelves this month, and you should be excited. The series is a clever blend of genres, with a young girl who finds herself leading the house of her zodiac after a freak accident…supposedly. See, disaster is striking zodiac houses all over, in a universe where zodiac signs separate everyone. It's really fun and beautifully written, and there's a third book on the way.
Description: Orphaned, disgraced and stripped of her title, Rho is ready to live life quietly as an aid worker in the Cancrian refugee camp on House Capricorn. But news has spread that the Marad—an unbalanced terrorist group determined to overturn harmony in the Galaxy—could strike any House at any moment. Then, unwelcome nightmare that he is, Ochus appears to Rho, bearing a cryptic message that leaves her with no choice but to fight. Now Rho must embark on a high-stakes journey through an all-new set of Houses, where she discovers that there's much more to her Galaxy—and to herself—than she could have ever imagined.
8. Thicker Than Water by Brigid Kemmerer
Release Date: December 29th from Kensington
Why You'll Love It: Kensington has been slaying it lately with some truly exciting YA titles. In this thriller/mystery, a teen is accused of murdering his mother by the local police force… which his stepdad happens to be on. And in the middle of the mayhem? A romance, budding between the accused and the daughter of the accuser. Lots of high stakes in this one. ?
Description: Thomas Bellweather hasn't been in town long. Just long enough for his newlywed mother to be murdered, and for his new stepdad's cop colleagues to decide Thomas is the primary suspect. Not that there's any evidence. But before Thomas got to Garretts Mill, there had just been one other murder in 20 years. The only person who believes him is Charlotte Rooker, little sister to three cops and, with her soft hands and sweet curves, straight-up dangerous to Thomas. Her best friend was the other murder vic. And she'd like a couple answers. Answers that could get them both killed, and reveal a truth Thomas would die to keep hidden…
9. Hear by Robin Epstein
Release Date: December 29th from Soho Teen
Why You'll Love It: A little bit sci-fi, a little bit thriller, a little bit supernatural…well, it's a mashup of genres, and it shouldn't come as a surprise that it's coming from Soho Teen, the publisher that puts out unique title after unique title. In Hear, we're introduced to a teen that's working in a program called HEAR, where they research… ESP? Telepathy? Psychic powers? It all seems so ridiculous, until the young protagonist starts to find her own powers. A satisfying read for fans of all genres, no doubt about that.?
Description: Expelled from high school months shy of graduation—her acceptance to Columbia revoked due to vigilante justice gone awry—Kassandra Black is sent to work in her great-uncle Brian's lab at Henley University. She's helping with his HEAR (Henley Engineering Anomalies Research) program, and hopefully getting him to put in a good word for her to attend Henley instead. She's got to go somewhere, after all. But as she gets to know the other HEAR students, it becomes clear that she overlooked the "Anomalies" part of their acronym—these kids are here to help Brian run experiments that gauge ESP capacity. They've each been selected and recruited, including, to her astonishment, Kass herself. But ESP? She doesn't buy any of it. And even if it were real, she definitely isn't psychic.
Yet with each new test, she finds herself more frightened. Kass really can communicate telepathically; she can even glimpse the future. When one of her fellow HEAR students is murdered, Kass must try to forget everything she knows about herself and her family and learn to trust those who share her remarkable gift.
10. What's Broken Between Us by Alexis Bass
Release Date: December 29th from HarperTeen
Why You'll Love It: If you've enjoyed novels by Gayle Forman, then What's Broken Between Us is for you. Bass' debut novel, Love & Other Theories, was a wonderful contemporary read full of heartbreak and high school drama. Her latest takes on heavier themes of drinking and death. It's heartbreaking, staggering and makes for one awesome read. You won't be able to put it down.?
Description: A year and a half ago, Amanda Tart's brother got behind the wheel drunk and killed his best friend. Today, he's coming home from prison. Amanda's been the one living with the fallout, made worse by her brother's recent unapologetic TV interview. People think he's a monster. Still, she loves him. It's her dark secret, until she starts getting close to Henry again—whose sister is paralyzed from the accident. A year and a half ago, her brother destroyed his life. Now Amanda has to decide if she'll let his choice destroy hers.

Today's suggestion for a poem was to write a sapphic, which are quatrains whose first three lines have eleven syllables, and the fourth, just five. There is also a very strict meter that alternates trochees (a two-syllable foot, with the first syllable stressed, and the second unstressed) and dactyls (a three-syllable foot, with the first syllable stressed and the remainder unstressed). The first three lines consist of two trochees, a dactyl, and two more trochees. The fourth line is a dactyl, followed by a trochee.

It's not online anywhere there then? Or is it all in Spanish? Presumably both pre and post 1950 there was pro-Franco indoctrination in the education system.
Mmm I just know this because I've attended spanish schools before: the government provides as little funding as possible. Seriously, I had to buy - yes, BUY - my own textbooks and notebooks. The teachers weren't young - IMO a sign that there just wasn't a supply of new staff to replace the old. School starts at like 8, there's a small break, and everyones finished by like 1:30/2/2:30 pm in time for spanish lunch, or early tea if you're english.

As the admittance books for Wharncliffe War Hospital no longer survive, we would like to record as many men that passed through there as possible. Did your relative receive treatment there as a consequence of their part in WW1 ? If so please let us know and we'll add the details to the site.
In the spring of 1915 the South Yorkshire Asylum, Wadsley, was offered to the War Office by the Asylum's Board, for conversion into a war hospital. The asylum patients were transferred to various asylum's, and the institution, now known as the Wharncliffe War Hospital, was handed over to the War Office on the 1st April,1915. A large number of alterations and adaptations were necessary, and these were carried out by the architect of the asylums board, and the institution clerk of works. an x-ray department has been fitted up, and also three operating theatres. all the day rooms and corridors are occupied as wards.
Miss M. Scudamore Smith, R.R.C., was recently appointed by the war office as matron, in place of Miss M.M. Bond, R.R.C. The War Office also maintained a staff of sisters and staff nurses of the Q.A.I.M.N.S. The nurses who were on the staff of the institution previous to its conversion are acting as "Probationer" Nurses. The institution attendants were enlisted in the R.A.M.C. for local services.
The present accommodation of the hospital is 2,033 beds, and affiliated to the hospital are Middlewood Hall Auxiliary Hospital, Darfield,32 beds, and Kilton Hill Hospital, Worksop, 120 beds.

Q: Namespace not found class? symfony2 Newbie problem here, I've created a Bundle named MyServices with Sub folder MyBundle,
I've created a Service named myAWServ but as I'm calling $this->get('myAWS')->methodCall() I'm getting the following error :

CRITICAL - Fatal Error: Class 'MyServices\MyBundle\myAWS\myAWS' not
  found  CRITICAL - Uncaught PHP Exception
  Symfony\Component\Debug\Exception\ClassNotFoundException: "Attempted
  to load class "myAWS" from namespace "MyServices\MyBundle\myAWS". Did
  you forget a "use" statement for another namespace?" at
  /home/sergio/Desktop/hello_symfony_heroku/app/cache/dev/appDevDebugProjectContainer.php
  line 1755

I've reviewed all files a hundred times and can't find the problem the files are as it follow:
<?php
//File Location : MyServices/MyBundle/Controller/myAWS.php

class myAWS
{
    public function __construct($greeting)
    {
        $this->greeting = $greeting;
    }

    public function greet($name)
    {
        return $this->greeting . ' ' . $name;
    }
}

The Root file created with the bundle (php app/console generate:bundle)
//Filesource : MyServices/MyBundle/MyServicesMyBundle.php
<?php

namespace MyServices\MyBundle;

use Symfony\Component\HttpKernel\Bundle\Bundle;

    public function indexAction($name)
    {
        die($this->get('myAWSer')->greet($name));

    }
}

I've also tried  clearing the cache.
Sorry for the long post, and thank you in advance.

A: The problem is here:
// File Location : MyServices/MyBundle/Controller/myAWS.php
namespace MyServices\MyBundle\myAWS;

Your file's path is MyServices/MyBundle/Controller/myAWS.php but you must follow your namespace, so the correct path should be MyServices/MyBundle/myAWS/myAWS.php. You should also check out the psr-4 specifications for autoloading.

"Joel is very intuitive and I just had the most meaningful and powerful angle reading from him. I was not sure what I was getting my self into at first, but after a few minutes I could see that he was actually reading from my life and aspects that he had no awareness of. He hit the nail on the head with his insights and helped me come to a place of peace with my understanding of my up bringing. At one point he called in my now passed away mother into the reading, and he spoke words that I knew were from my mom, and helped me understand her perspective and feel more connected to her, and that she is still here with me. Thank you again Joel, and keep up your amazing work! I will recommend you to my friends, and I already have someone who would like to talk to you!"
- Shahee, Vancouver BC - TribalGlobe.com, facebook.com/TribalGlobe
"After my angel reading with Joel, I couldn't believe how accurate the reading was. It confirmed any thoughts, doubts and feelings I was experiencing. Now, I not only have a better clarification of the most important aspects of my life, I'm able to understand what I'm supposed to be doing to live happier. After the reading I felt at peace and I will definately be calling Joel again. Thank you Joel for connecting with my angels, the advice they had for me was exactly what I needed. I'm still blown away!" - Tanya, Toronto, ON
"Thank you for taking the time for clarifying a lot of the issues crowding my mind. Your reading was so accurate, I was literally stunned at the information coming my way. I spent the rest of the day feeling very peaceful, which is a feeling I haven't felt in a long time." - Barbara
"My first ever angel reading was with Joel and was an amazing experience. I truly believe Joel is an exceptionally gifted angel reader. I felt so peaceful and reassured after the reading. There is a soothing and gentle quality to his voice that immediately puts you at ease. He is articulate and incredibily accurate. I was stunned at the details he was able to give me including the name of someone who was on my mind that I had not even mentioned to him. He preferred not to be told anything in advance which for me is further validation of his genuine ability. I have total confidence that Joel is the "real deal". I will definitely contact Joel again for angel readings and angel healings." - Vickie
"Experiencing an angel reading was like putting my glasses on for the first time; it really brought my thoughts and feelings into focus. Gentle and supportive, the angels helped guide me beyond my fears to my inner truth. I could feel that their words were genuine, meant only for my higher good. I came out of my first session feeling empowered, enlightened, and exhausted (from the intense emotional work). I would most definitely go back to Joel for a second and third session." - Justine Apple
"I have worked with Joel on more than one occasion and found his work to be both authentic and soul inspiring. He is a kind soul who is capable for making room for any light to shine through with a large offering of wisdom, comfort, along with providing multiple choices for positive life direction. By setting the ego aside, Joel allows for the helpful entities to do their work in aiding you on your life's journey. And from this process, Joel creates the space where there is an allowing for the voice of truth to come through with direct flow and ease." - Lizzie Kurtz, Toronto, Canada.
"Joel did an Angel Reading for me thereby making me more aware of my life. This enabled me to make certain valuable changes to my Life. As a result of these changes, I have begun to treat 'ME' WITH LOVE! Thank you Joel." - Linda
"Joel did a reading for me on the spot in a moment of turmoil for me. His abilities enabled me to trust actions I would make in order to shift my life in a positive direction. Joel is compassionate and loving in his guidance. I know his abilities to be authentic and joyfully recommend him to anyone interested. Peace and blessings to you." - Deborah A.
"Joel gave me a realistic description of my grandparents, their relationship and the unfaultering information that Betty was the boss! With great empathy and compassion, he communicated between us and passed on some information and heartfelt messages between us. My grandfather told Joel some touching things, and I felt very privileged and emotional to receive such an unusual blessing." - Liora B.
"Let's see, where to begin... at first when I heard of "Angel readings" a while ago my first thought was... how do they communicate via someone else to send me messages? Especially when I am not in contact with that person that is doing the reading for me, I felt at odds and was unsure of what to expect. But over time I have come to be in contact with my guides and angels through meditation and being "in the present" more and more every day. When I found out that Joel does readings, I was intrigued to find out more. To find out if what I was connecting with was really solid, really real.
After the first few moments of Joel's and my conversation I began to hear messages that truly were from my Angels. It was a huge confirmation that yes indeed... I am connecting with them. The more I asked Joel for information the more the messages became clearer and more defined. From my challenging relationship with my mother, to the new adventures that I am taking with my life (both work and personal) and finally to the way my body is now reacting to these changes in leaps and bounds. I began to acknowledge that this is a wonderful way to speak to them through someone that is truly gifted and connected to Angels.
I will definitely be utilizing Joel's services in the future to step aside and let the information flow from the source through him. Thank you Joel... thank you for the confirmation and the all of the added information that was available that I was unable to pin-point and find answers to." - Tim Cyr, Alberta Canada

Термин «нейроразнообразие» () относится к генетической изменчивости в человеческом мозгу относительно общительности, особенности обучения, внимания, настроения и других психических функций в непатологическом смысле. Он был придуман в 1998 году австралийским социологом Джуди Сингер, и эта концепция была популяризирована ею и американским журналистом Харви Блюмом. Термин возник как вызов преобладающим представлениям о том, что некоторые расстройства нервного развития по своей природе являются патологическими, и вместо этого перенимает социальную модель инвалидности, в которой социальные барьеры являются главным фактором инвалидности.

Последующая парадигма нейроразнообразия вызвала споры между сторонниками аутизма и противниками, говорящими, что эта концептуализация аутистического спектра не отражает реалий людей, которые имеют высокие потребности в поддержке.

История
В статье Нью-Йорк Таймс, написанной американским журналистом и писателем Харви Блюмом 30 июня 1997 года, Блюм описал основы нейроразнообразия, используя термин «неврологический плюрализм». Блюм был ранним сторонником, который предсказал роль интернета в развитии международного движения нейроразнообразия.

Слово нейроразнообразие приписывается Джуди Сингер, австралийскому обществоведу, которая описала себя как «вероятно где-то в аутистическом спектре» и использовала этот термин в своей дипломной работе по социологии, опубликованной в 1999 году. Термин представлял собой уход от предыдущих теорий, обвиняющих матерей в аутизме детей. Сингер переписывалась с Блюмом из-за их взаимного интереса к аутизму, и хотя он не указал Сингер как соавтора, это слово впервые появилось в печати в статье Блюма в журнале Атлантик 30 сентября 1998 года.

Некоторые авторы также отмечают более раннюю работу защитника аутизма Джима Синклера по продвижению концепции нейроразнообразия. Синклер был одним из первых организаторов международного онлайн-сообщества аутистов. Речь Синклера 1993 года «Не печальтесь о нас» подчёркивала аутизм как способ существования: «Невозможно отделить человека от аутизма».

Термин «нейроразнообразие» с тех пор применяется к другим состояниям и приобрёл более общее значение; например, Ассоциация по развитию неврологических отклонений у взрослых (DANDA) в Великобритании охватывает нарушение координации развития, СДВГ, синдром Аспергера и связанные с ними состояния.

В рамках движения за права инвалидов
Парадигма нейроразнообразия была взята на вооружение людьми с аутистическим спектром. Впоследствии она была применена к другим неврологическим состояниям, таким как СДВГ, речевые расстройства развития, дислексия, диспраксия, дискалькулия, дисномия, умственная отсталость и синдром Туретта; состояниям психического здоровья, таким как биполярность, шизофрения шизоаффективное расстройство, диссоциальное
 расстройство личности, и обсессивно-компульсивное расстройство. Сторонники нейроразнообразия осуждают рассматривание аутизма, СДВГ, дислексии и других расстройств нервного развития как требующих медицинского вмешательства для их «лечения» или «исправления», и вместо этого продвигают системы поддержки, такие как инклюзивные услуги, приспособление среды, коммуникационные и вспомогательные технологии, профессиональная подготовка и поддержка независимого проживания. Цель состоит в том, чтобы люди получали поддержку, которая уважает аутентичные формы человеческого разнообразия, самовыражения и бытия, а не лечение, которое принуждает или заставляет их принимать нормативные представления о нормальности или соответствовать клиническому идеалу.

Сторонники нейроразнообразия стремятся переосмыслить аутизм и связанные с ним состояния в обществе с помощью следующих мер: признание того, что нейроотличия не требуют лечения; изменение языка с текущих обозначений «состояние, болезнь, расстройство», и «расширение понимания здорового или независимого образа жизни»; признание новых типов независимости; и предоставление не-нейротипичным людям большего контроля над своим лечением, включая тип, сроки и необходимость лечения вообще.

В исследовании 2009 года 27 студентов (с аутизмом, дислексией, нарушением координации развития, СДВГ и инсультом) были разделены на две категории самооценки: точка зрения «отличия» — нейроотличие рассматривалось как отличие, включающее набор сильных и слабых сторон; и «медицинское/дефицитное» представление — где нейроразличие рассматривалось как невыгодное медицинское состояние. Они обнаружили, что, хотя все учащиеся сообщили об одинаково трудном опыте обучении в школе, связанным с отчуждением, жестоким обращением и запугиванием, те, кто рассматривал себя с точки зрения отличия (41 % из изучаемой группы), «показали более высокую академическую самооценку и уверенность в своих силах и многие (73 %) выразили значительные карьерные амбиции с позитивными и ясными целями». Многие из этих студентов сообщили, что обрели такое мнение о себе благодаря контактам со сторонниками нейроразнообразия в группах поддержки в Интернете.

Онлайн-опрос 2013 года, направленный на оценку концепций аутизма и нейроразнообразия, показал, что «концепция аутизма дефицит-как-отличие предполагает важность использования аутистических черт выгодными для развития способами, преодоление ложной дихотомии между празднованием отличий и ослаблением дефицита».

Критика
Парадигма нейроразнообразия является спорной в отношении аутизма. Доминирующая парадигма — та, которая патологизирует человеческий мозг, который отличается от считающегося типичным. С той точки зрения, это медицинские состояния, которые следует лечить.

Распространённая критика заключается в том, что парадигма нейроразнообразия имеет слишком большой охват и что её концепция должна исключать тех, чьё функционирование более серьёзно нарушено. Защитник аутизма и междисциплинарный педагог Ник Уокер, которому приписывают самое детальное определение движения нейроразнообразия и лежащую в его основе парадигму, говорит, что нейроразличия относятся именно к «распространённым нейрокогнитивным различиям», которые «тесно связаны с формированием и конституцией Я», в отличие от таких заболеваний, как эпилепсия.

Технологии поддержки нейроразнообразия

В настоящее время нет доступных технологий для помощи людям с неврологическими отличиями. Однако было разработано много технологий для обучения таких людей и для того, чтобы помочь им стать такими, которых называют нормальными.

Texans woke up Saturday to headlines and pictures reading "Take a Hike IKE" but to terrific dismay IKE did not. Galveston, Texas took the worst with flooding and great loss over the entire island. Houston, Texas was also very hard hit with much damage, flooding and no power predicted for a few weeks.
We in North Texas also braced for rough weather, but in the end the winds went east and we missed the worst. Although our hearts and prayers go out to all those that became victims south and east. North Texas shelters housed thousands of evacuees fleeing the hurricane. Our continued prayers go on for our many friends and relatives that live along the southern areas of Texas. May the power be returned quickly with homes and lives rebuilt.
Below is a picture from our morning paper on Friday.
On a lighter note, I have been very busy and just wanted to share a few new treasures I added to my studio. Storage is always something I need, so when I found this magazine book rack, I knew it would help organize files and books. My son put it together for me and then I decided the front insets needed some art too. So I did some creating with mixed media on the three shelf fronts with toile papers, sheet music, victorian graphics, ribbons, buttons and graphic roses. It looks like the front of books, but it really is right on the wood.
The toile lamp is also a new addition that I created and I shared this last week on the window party. It is working out very nicely, and yes, Ann is going to let me keep it here. Thank you my dear friend!! I love it.
A few weeks ago I was in one of my favorite antique malls and found this sweet pink poodle. She sits on the shelf and a nice companion to the black and white check poodle that I also have in the studio. Of course Miss Beaz would love to have this for her toy, but for now, it is only to enjoy on the shelf.
This small table I am really excited about and I made it to hold a very special Toile Basket made by Bertie from Aunt May's Cottage. I found this table with a basket weave top, but needed to be painted and adding another bottom shelf. I cut a piece of wood to fit the lower area and covered that with fabric. To that area I added a small toile trunk that I embellished and use for storage. But my favoite part is the way the basket sits on the top and holds supplies handy for ready use and a pot of roses to enjoy. Bertie, this has been a joy to have and is gorgeous in this spot. Many thanks always.
Very treasured is my newest pretty from Vickie from Vickie's Visuals. It is this darling black and white Southern Belle figurine. I love this Vickie and it looks gorgeous in my studio. You can see many wonderful treasure from Vickie's web shoppe by going to her blog and linking from there. She has lovely items.
Then, from the bargin isle at my local Hobby Lobby, I found this sweet Victorian Lady for a mere 2 dollars. She was in perfect condition, and of course, I had to showcase her in my studio. She seems to be watching over the room.
Also on a recent shopping afternoon with my dear friend Lori, I found this beautiful ballerina. This past year I have been inspired with ballerina designs since my dear friend Liz and customer invitied me, with other artists, to take part in a fund raiser event given in honor for her daughter who passed away suddenly 4 years ago with a heart condition. I can not even imagine this kind of loss and my heart goes out to her. The funds raised went towards a scholarship for another school girl in the school that she attended. My friends daughter, was a young adult teacher dancer/ballerina and thus the theme for her honor. The fund raiser was a huge succuss and she has asked me to design 120 dinner guest gift bags for next years event. I have started and it will take the whole time to get done, but I am so excited to be included once again. The ballerina dancer is beautiful in my studio and inspires me everyday. Thank you Liz for your constant inspiration and encouragement.
Liz sent me the brochure for the event and I designed just for her, a treasure box to hold keepsakes inspired by the brochure layout. I sent her this with my hand painted fund raiser item, last spring.
I had so much fun with this creation.
Lastly "Through the Cottage Door" is a new design I worked on a couple weeks ago. The painting is done on a fabric sheet canvas and cut to fit this oval distressed frame. It was a blessing to sell this one and I am painting a few others similar.
Thank you for stopping by. This season is always very busy for me and I seem to only get to my blog about once a week to post and visit. But, I try and visit as often as possible and enjoy it so much when I can see what everyone is up to. Till next time, have a great day and blessings always.
Hi Celeste, I think I'm in one of the cars in the newspaper picture!
I love your post and the creations you are sharing. The magazine rack and table are perfect for your studio. I love everything in your studio! Thanks for your nice comments. Yes, 'tis the season!
So glad to hear that everything is OK where you are...but there are soooo many friends in Galveston...that we're all concerned about ~ Shelia from Note Songs, is one of them. We know she left the area...but are concerned what she and her hubby and pooch are going to have to come back to.
All of your items are GORGEOUS!!! I love the Toile and so many of the other items, too!
There are so many items to comment on. First, we are praying for those who were so affected by this storm. I'm glad in your area that you were spared.
I love the magazine stand. That is so classy looking and the little table that you did.
All of your things are wonderfully done.
I'm so glad you are safe and sound! My prayer is that everyone out of danger and have hope and faith that things will get better if they have their lives in tact!
What a great post, I don't know where to begin! Well first of all I don't blame Mrs Beasley for wanting to play with the pink poodle, I would too, nice and fuzzy and the perfect size to toss around a bit. Ok, the toile lamp, the bookrack, the little black table, the toile basket & trunk, the ballerina, the ladies, they can all come to my house to live! What did I miss? I'm sure there was something else... you are so talented my friend! The box you created is awesome with the ballet slippers, what a great cause!
Girl, one of these days I have got to buy one of your painted items. I just love your work! Glad you all are safe. That hobby lobby figurine is beautiful and $2.00!! Great find.
That newspaper photo looks all too familiar! Today it looked similar, but all the traffic was headed south.
The magazine rack turned out fantastic!
Hi Celeste!! I am so glad you are okay and werent affected by the hurricane. I have been praying for everyone there.
And of course I love all of your beautiful creations :) I am excited about my cupcake ornaments and plan to buy more!!
I am so OUT OF IT lately. I dont know why! I havent blogged or hardly visited anyone. I think I just need a little break from posting on my blog.
I love you and miss you lots!!
What a great magazine stand. The way you decorated it is fabulous. Wonderful basket from Bertie. You always know how to display so perfectly. Vickie's "girl" is great. She has some wonderful things. So glad you didn't have any damages. Prayers for those who were less fortunate.
My prayers go out to everyone suffering in Texas. Our son lives in College Station and they weathered wind and rain, but no major problems.
Your studio looks lovely. Everything is just so perfect. I love what you did with the magazine rack!
Celestina, What a beautiful post "remembering" all our fellow Texans facing so many challenges now and for a time to come to because of this hurricane. I join you in your prayers and like you, I'm thankful our DFW area was hardly felt any of its wrath.
E'thing you've found, arranged, repurposed, dressed up - it's all soooo beautiful and creative. I especially loved your memory box with your roses - so beautifully painted and designed to fit the piece. I know how hard that is and I just love it.
Love seeing all of your new treasures and I'm so glad that you all were spared the rain and stormy weather from Ike. Mom and Dad said they had 5" of rain on Saturday and Brian's parents in the Quad Cities had 7"! Love you all!
Celeste, It's so hard to imagine the devastation in TX. The TV pictures are incomprehensible - again! I'm glad you and my other blogging friends in TX are safe and sound.
You are so incredibly generous with your time for your friends, for what you're doing for them. Bless you for your kind nature.
Those little figurines are so lovely! You've found some real treasures! I collect peasant figurines in bisque - it's fun to be surprised and find one in a shop, and it isn't often. The one you found in Hobby Lobby is my favorite of all you've posted.
I love all the toile you have in your home, absolutely gorgeous!!!
The box you created with the ballet slippers and that gorgeous cottage door are real favorites of mine, I can see why they sold, just beautiful.
Hi Celeste, Thank you so much for stopping by! That is so sad to see what has happened to the residents of Texas from Ike. Prayers go out to all those people! So many cute things here Celeste, I love the Victorian Lady from Hobby Lobby! Your Southern Belle from Vickie is just beautiful and the touch of black is perfect with you black toile! The pink poodle is so sweet! Love that magazine rack and your Through a Cottage Door is just stunning! I missed some of your posts with being on vacation so I looked through them. Your window post is just beautiful, and so was your Santa Fe trip!
What sweet thoughts on this post for all our friends that are hurting. My prayers are with them also.
What lovelies you have added to your studio! The magazine rack is simply divine ~ and the black wicker table is so you, the toile trunk is such a wonderful touch! I've become a big fan of toile ever since I re-covered my kitchen chairs.
It is always like a breath of fresh air to come visit with you & see what new beauties you are creating!
You are soon going to convert me from a red toile lover to a black toile lover!!! Gosh, everything you showed was just gorgeous! I love it all and wish you could help me redecorate my whole house!
I especially loved that table and the way you decorated the book/magazine holder. All your accessories just go so well with the toile too...including the cute Pink Poo! Glad you were safe from Ike!
I`m asking to all the Bloggers to support our dear FRIEND Mandy!
Please do come over, and DO LEAVE A COMMENT!
Celeste - This post was a real treat for the eyes! Each treasure was my fave until I saw the next pic and then THAT was my fave!
I'm glad Ike missed you! It's so terrible that those poor people's lives have been devastated like that. My heart breaks for them.
What a lovely post Celeste full of beautiful pretties and treasures to look at. I love all your home touches and love your creations!
Blessings to those affected by Ike.
Good to hear you and your family are well....nature is so unpredictable at times, doesn't it!
What beautiful items you've shown here. I love what you've done with the magazine rack - it's precious!
That Victorian lady certainly shows her presence, such a lovely piece. But I do believe the pink poodle has captured my heart just like it's captured Miss Beazy's heart.
I have an award for you! Please stop by and pick it up!! Congrats!
My thoughts and prayers are with all of those that were hit by Ike. It's so very tragic.
You shared a lot of beauty in this post! I especially love the table and your painting. Gorgeous!

What can be done with Insurance Premiums?
Every business should have a kind of backing financially in order to keep the company running, insurance is one of the most effective means. Insurance is the process whereby an individual pays a sum of money to an insurance establishment for future backing financially.
The insured (the insurance buyer) receives a contract containing the full details of the conditions and circumstances under which the insurer (insurance company) would compensate the insurer. The sum of money charged by the insurer to the insured to cover the insurance policy is called a premium. We have different types of insurance from health insurance, business insurance, casualty insurance and more.
Sometimes when the primary insurer cannot cover the risk, the insured can take out a reinsurance from another insurance establishment thereby splitting it between to insurance companies. However, this article is solely based on what an insurance premium funding is, how it works, how to get it as well its benefits and advantages.
Insurance premium funding is a way of funding the sum of money required by the insurance company for the coverage of the insurance policy. This is usually provided by third party finance company called premium funding companies. Business owners are aware of the risk involved in not getting an insurance for their company. For example, an individual ABC owns a construction and building company which specializes in building of houses (buildings) and construction of roads. This kind of work can be risky. There is no way there won't be one or two casualties. Therefore, if the owner of the company doesn't have insurance then, he might have made of the already planned money to take care of the casualties. Insurance is very paramount! Most insurance companies also offer a kind of premium funding package for individuals, most especially life insurance. They can loan you the amount (premium) which would be repaid in installments, probably, monthly or yearly. An agreement has to be signed before getting on with the process.
In this kind of insurance premium funding, the customer enters a collateralize agreement with premium funding company. The client makes use of property as collateral for the funding. This kind of insurance premium finance is mostly suitable individuals who have a lot of non-liquid assets- assets that cannot be converted into money. It is better when it comes to interest on loan and so on.
This kind of insurance premium finance is almost like the former. It also requires a kind of collateralize investment in which a property can be held as a security for the premium funding received by the client. This kind of insurance premium finance is not suitable for a client who has a lot of non-liquid assets. Only liquid assets, most especially cash, are accepted.
Insurance premium funding simply involves sourcing for financial security or backing in case of any future risk or damage. The price of an insurance premium offered by the insurance company depends on a few factors such as the location of the client, background, Net-worth of the company or business being insured.
 Sourcing for funds from a premium finance company.
 The premium finance company pays the premium in form of a loan.
 The loan repaid to the lender through monthly installments over a period of time.
As much as insurance is important for a business in order avoid future expenses that can lead the company into bankruptcy, it is important to know that paying for an insurance premium out of the company's pocket might also be injurious to the company. This is one of the most amazing advantages of insurance premium funding.
 It gives the client a better alternative instead of liquidating other assets.
 It helps the client dodge the requirement of making large payments upfront.
 Premium financing companies require monthly repayment of loan for a period of time which allows for a better cash-flow instead paying the whole sum at once.
In spite of the fact that insurance premium can be exhausting on your income, they are an essential piece of securing your own assets together with those sold or financed. There are several alternatives for making your insurance premium less demanding on your shoulder.
MHF can help organize premium finance companies starting from $5000 to free up income and guarantee your laborers pay, proficient reimbursement and so on. We are highly experienced in the field, we know what you want and how to go about it. Talk to our team today and secure your future.

Circle k is really insane in how they treat there line level employees at the store level. I wont even go on the health care that is pretty much non existent except for salary employees. New policy that has come out. It is now required for all store employees to purchase coffee and fountain soda if they have any on there shift. I find this as just a complete penny pinching policy. Four comments and reasons on it. One these are products with very high profit margin. Soda for example is probably in the 150-200% area and coffee probably in 75% or higher. Two: with the policy that coffee needs to be dumped and changed every 2 hours on average I would assume close to a gallon of coffee is dumped a day. Three the policy is insane for store level employees in that okay so the people who work the graveyard, with no pay differential, have to pay. Same with people who open stores at 4 am and close the stores at night. Four is just something I would love to find out, might not be valid complaint. The corporate offices, are they supplied coffee or do the people that work in them pool a fund and pay for it. If it is like many companies I know it is usually a budgeted line under office supplies. Just a curiosity there.
Was not fired...just find it an insane policy. I drink water anyway. Just an extra job for a few extra dollars thats all. Point is the people working there are barely above min wage and corporate offices get coffee and water...I found out they do btw. It is free for the corporate but for the employees who actually do the line work it is not. If your looking for ways to build employee moral they like pushing the limit. Especially hypocritical is the fact the policy for the coffee to be made is every 2 or 3 hours...its the coffee pots they start blinking when time to make new...it is a company policy written etc...the manager says just reset it if there is still coffee in the pots to its gone. So policies are subject to what saves money. Fresh coffee not always there. My manager got mad at me when a customer asks how old the coffee is I tell them the truth. Threatened to write me up...kind of pointed out can t write someone up for not lying...she walked away. Personally Im not afraid of the management or intimidated by them at all. I have no problem walking out if I wanted but the policies dont affect me.
Circle K is corrupt from the district manager on up, I should know, I'm a henchmen in the employ of these corrupt individuals. I do their low level dirty work with a smile and a pat on the back, then I move on to the next store. I'm 'the cleaner', the smoke and mirrors guy who makes everything look right when things are so very wrong. My soul has been scarred by the things I've done for a buck so I thought a 'confession' might help, naw, I think I'll just get a fountain drink. Oh look a little chip in the lip of the cup, guess I'll write that one off as a loss, can't sell that to a customer. But hey why waste it like we waste the unsold donuts, I'll just use it for free. LA dee da, la da dee, look at me!

DouglasSeptember 22, 2008Behind the Scenes, Customer Service Experience, Follow-up, Little Things, Big Differences Comments Off on Offering to follow up with (additional) answers.
No one is expected to know everything. If you expect every one of your employees to know the answers to every question that could possibly be asked, you will be in for disappointment. At most companies, there is simply too much to know and a nearly limitless number of questions that potential and existing customers can ask.
Even with that fact of life and of customer service in mind, the answer of "I don't know" is completely unacceptable. Any employee who says "I don't know" and leaves it at that is actually an employee who does not care. Especially with technology and the Internet, looking up answers to problems and questions is even easier than before. It isn't difficult to IM, call, or find a supervisor or another employee. It also isn't difficult to Google a problem and figure out what it might be. It isn't at all difficult to send the customer in the right direction with a few web links.
The point is that customers don't want to be left at "I don't know." They want to hear "I don't know that off hand, but I will be more than happy to find out for you." As a service provider, you can offer to get back to the customer with the answer or ask them if they'd like to wait. Some customers will want to wait, others will want an email or a call back.
Do whichever they ask and do your best regardless of which way they prefer. Ask who you need to and look up what you have to look up. The goal is to find an answer for the customer that is both useful and accurate. If it isn't useful or if it isn't accurate, it doesn't do the customer much good. If there is no direct answer that you can find, offer up alternative solutions ("X might not be possible, but Y is certainly possible"). Whatever you do, never leave the customer at "I don't know." "I can find out" is much better for you and the customer.

The U.S. Department of Labor's Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) unveiled the Safety Targets Training Program to highlight the leading causes of mine fatalities in the 21st century. The program was introduced in conjunction with the agency's annual Training Resources Applied to Mining (TRAM) conference held at the Mine Health and Safety Academy in Beckley, W. Va., before about 500 attendees.
"In spite of the dramatic drop in mining fatalities over the last century and recent declines to all time lows, we are still experiencing unnecessary fatal accidents," said acting Assistant Secretary of Labor for Mine Safety and Health Richard E. Stickler. "Most of these fatalities occurred not in major disasters, but one and two at a time. While they do not get the attention that some larger mine accidents have received, they are just as tragic and they are preventable."
Ten training modules are in development for coal and metal/nonmetal mines. These 20 topics account for 75 percent of the causes of fatalities that occurred in the targeted nine-year time period. The materials will reach the mining industry through outreach efforts, targeted mass mailings and the MSHA Web site at www.msha.gov.
