A beekeeper with a sting.A cat with a secret.A cat rescue in the middle of it all. In the small town of Tablerock, Texas, life is as sweet as honey. Fifty-year-old Ellie Rockwell's Silver Circle Cat Rescue is settling in to the shelter's inherited mansion on the edge of town, and only a few people know about the magical platter that came with it-the one that allows cats to speak to humans. But life takes a sour turn when local beekeeper and honey entrepreneur Ben Tyson is found dead, leaving his beloved cat, Honey, as the only witness to the crime. As Ellie and Evie work to help Honey piece together what happened to her former owner, the investigation puts the rescued cats (and the cat rescuers) in a heap of sticky trouble. Not everyone in town was as sweet on Ben as they appeared, and they definitely didn't want anyone buzzing about it. Can Ellie, Evie and their furry friends solve the crime before the killer strikes again? Find out in "Honey, Hairballs, and Murder", the second book in a purr-fectly paranormal midlife cozy mystery series.

My interest started with a walk through the Bowery of New York in the summer of 1974. The Bowery at that time was a fresh air mental health ward, a skid row nursing home, and a dumping area for the city's undesirables. It was like a small town where everyone had debilitating life problems. With institutions for the Mentally Ill starting to empty, many patients were discharged into the Bowery with its low-cost rooming houses and government-run shelters. Nothing was normal - you could walk just a few streets away and there would be students attending the local colleges; meanwhile, nearby on the Bowery, men crusted with dirt and blood were lying on the sidewalk - are they dead? How many, not one or two, but half a dozen. Should an ambulance be called? No, this was normal for the Bowery; everyone walked by, and the police drove by. What follows is a description of the Bowery of NYC in the Fall of 1974 by a new doctoral student in the Department of Family and Community Relations at Columbia University, New York. A few months before this, I was a live-in house manager in a group home for adults with severe mental illness, which likely colored my perceptions and interest. This paper describes fieldwork in the Bowery of New York City in 1974 and gives the reader a snapshot of the 1970s Bowery. The language of the time and the streets is used, slightly toned down. No offense is intended toward any individual, organization, or group. This study is about selected aspects of the lives of Bowery men and the environment they live in. These men reside in the immediate Bowery area and are usually described as "homeless" or "indigent" or, more likely, "bums" and "drunks." I will tell the story and let the reader form their own view of the men. The study evolved from a curiosity about the area and its residents. From here, it took form from the people I talked to and the incidents I witnessed. This book is dedicated to the men on the Bowery who shared their lives: Sammy, Tim, Dave, Larry, Pete, and the unnamed.

Caroline wants to see the world and commit its beauties to canvas, but she fears that the season will end and she will return home as insignificant as ever.

Mr. Edward Everly is preparing to take over the management of the estate from his father. His new responsibilities are many and varied, and include marrying the girl his parents have selected for him. Unfortunately, the chosen bride is in love with another, and Edward would rather help her cause than champion his own. When he stumbles upon Miss Clapham painting in the woods, he hasn't any idea the upheaval she will cause to all his plans.

Will their pretend courtship have the chance to blossom into more, or will Edward follow the wishes of his family and risk breaking more than his own heart?" --

Questo non è un libro di storia della lingua, né un vocabolario o un etimologiario. È la raccolta completa di quasi 21000 parole italiane nella loro corretta ed originale pronuncia. Questo volume aspira a soddisfare le esigenze di chi studia, per lavoro o per passione, la fonologia e/o l'ortoepia. Un volume completo di dizione e pronuncia, affidabile, tascabile e rapido nella consultazione. Quest'opera nasce dall'esigenza di fornire un valido strumento di consultazione per tutti coloro che ne sentono il bisogno, per curiosità, per hobby, ma soprattutto per lavoro. L'ortoepia non si inventa: ha regole ben solide che sono sorrette da motivazioni storiche e linguistiche ben precise, le quali potevano essere consultate con sicurezza fino ad oggi soltanto nel DOP (Dizionario di Ortografia e Pronuncia) edito dalla Rai. Proprio l'inesistenza di un volume tascabile, affidabile, rapido nella consultazione e veloce nella memorizzazione era un'esigenza che ho sempre avvertito fortemente, in particolare negli anni in cui ho studiato dizione e pronuncia. Mancava un supporto, una guida cartacea che fosse completa ed immediata; in commercio infatti, poco o nulla si era rivelato personalmente utile per risolvere tale disagio.
