Got an email telling me it was fixed and it wasn't. All I did was connect to a machine on my network after getting the all clear email and it was back.
I think the detection system is as follows, "Have Windows 10 Pro = SetTrue", It was cheaper than Windows 10 home so I bought it for one machine.
I replied to the email telling them what I did and that it's fubared again.
Also I can't have used it for business as for the last month I have been unempolyed. I start another job in a few weeks.
TeamViewer thinks I'm using the software commercially! There is surely a problem with the detection system because I have a home network and I use Team Viewver for personal purposes only. More than a week ago, I had the "Commercial Use Detected" popup, and I can only use my connection for a few minutes at a time? Can you tell me how to reset my free subscription?
I meet a problem with my teaViewer account. Indeed, suddendly, a popup informed me that a profesional use has been detected whereas it is not absolutely the case.
Could you grant me again personal access profile ?
Many thanks in advance for your support.
Do not hesitate if you need further information.
Kind Regards,
Hello everyone ! Glad to having found your community :smileyvery-happy:
According to JoshP request, I try to provide an English translation of my former topic that I posted in French (sorry for my low English level ! Hope I'll be understood... ).
Working with Windows 7 x64.
I used TeamViewer for many years (only private use, (free) to help some friends and relatives, about twice or 3 times a month, never more).
After encountering a problem (probably : 'Suspected commercial use') all my TV sessions was shut down after a few seconds with a message like : "Your trial session has expired" ! I've submitted this problem to TV team, I only received a ticket ID : 4205002 by returned 'No reply' e-mail, but I've never got any reply as a solution :catsad: :smileyfrustrated:).
So, I completely uninstalled TV 13, and try to reinstall it.
But I can't reinstall it anymore. See the inserted image. The setup hangs at the step : 'Installing TeamViewer service' ... this has not moved for more than an hour. I'm afraid I'll have to stop the process and give up.
Thank you to those who would be kind enough to bring me a solution. :catvery-happy:

Thank You for the info!
I didn't realized **Third Party Product** had a free version for family use.
Will try it! :)

That's **bleep** again. First of all, if you _think_ someone use this app for commercial way you need to _prove_ it first instead if banning. Also, it not require for 20+ days [This sentence removed by Moderator] to check. And finally you banned mainly personal users because your so called verificationml method is simply not working.
Additionally, you not care about your customers at all (no response for the forum entries, e-mails, etc). You act like a orincess i stead of saying, yes,sorry,we made a mistake,here is a complementary gift.
But no,you're still redirecting the users to the "verification" page and let them wait for a month to something happens and if they are lucky you unblock them. If not,they still be blocked for a non existing reason.
Would you please tell is the "very sophisticated" method you use to mark a user as commercial usaler? I assume it's simply a randomly selected accounts in the backend (in my example there were two machines in my home config,freshly built and installed the tw acconut one by one. One marked as personal,other marked as commercial. Sophisticated as **bleep**)
Szivesen :)
(It works well for entry level supporting household machines. Obviously you should move forward to subscription based one if needed. It's still better than tw especially on non-windows devices.)
For non-commercial use only
[The price removed by Moderator]
Limited to 5 remote computers

I HAVE filled in the form in the link you posted 3 WEEKS ago and I have had nothing back, no ID ticket nothing at all its just a scam to force people to guy a commercial product that is MASSIVLY overpriced when you say they can use it for free for personal use
Hi everyone who is following up this topic.
I am one more who was trapped into this problem. And, looking for a solution, reaching this TV community... I realize that I'm far to be alone in that trapp !
So funny the reply got on FB (that is reported below) : "... you have to fill out the form in our community: http://bit.ly/2HNAuZh and then you will receive a ticket ID." !!! ... Then ??? What else to get an efficient and true help ?... This kind of response can be so easily copy & paste thousand times that it seems to be the easier, and most used way found out by TV team to "solve" this problem !
Actually, I did it yet, and I've received a ticket ID indeed (should I say : "already not so bad !" ?)... it's been 8 days ago... Since I've got this ticket ID, nothing else is happened. My sessions kept on being shut down after a few seconds with the same message : "Closed as over limit time" (something like that) ! (And, of course, I'm not using TV at a so called "professional use", and I never did it).
Then, what am I wondering now ?... If I was the boss of a company that's planning to use paying versions on many computers, if it was essential for my business, I would be very scared that TV team has the same "interest" to solve any TeamViewer issue which could happen in my company... How to be confident in someone who obviously doesn't care one's customers ? (A free use in family, can be also a paying customer "outside").
And so sorry that I am only a victim, among many others, instead of beeing able to help those who have been trapped like me !
How long do you have to wait for the re-activation? I'm waiting 15 days to be unlocked again. Strangely, only 1 desktop PC and 1 gaming laptop was locked (on the TeamViewer is installed) on another desktop PC it still works (despite the message that it is an incorrect use of the program)
Clearly not true. Connected earlier today for 20 minutes or so. - reconnected 4 1/2 hours later and was immediate;y kicked. After 5 years, I'll be uninstalling and finding another product. BTW, a commercial license is around $1900 USD/year.
Total **bleep**
My account was flagged for commercial use, since I'm using teamviewer to finish my Master's thesis (non-commercial), but the machine I'm connecting to is in a commercial network, hence the wrong flagging.
Filled out the form, waited 30 days and received a reply, that my account has been reset to free again.
The only problem is: It has not been reset, I still get limited, even when "just" connecting from my phone to my personal computer at home.
Already tried restarting Teamviewer, I'm using Version 13.1.3629 on the computer at home and the newest linux version at the machine for my thesis.
Any tips on how to resolve this? The email saying that I was reset to free was from a no-reply mail, and since I have no license, there is no ticket or anything about the issue.
Agree. They are not trusted anymore. The sad part that they doesn't care about the customers at all. (But it made my life easier for the proposal as my cto had allocated budget for a company wide remote solution. I think **Third Party Product** will be happy to win this tender without competitors. And i heard quite similar stories from other fellow it operations colleagues when they changed from teamviewer to any other product just because of their bad experiences. If the company cannot handle the free users at all,i'm pretty sure they cannot handle the payed customers as well)
Whilst I really do appreciate the convenience of Teamviewer and that it is provided free of charge for non-commercial use, I think Teamviewer should be be more circumspect in restricting people (e.g. me) who they allege has used the product commercially. I have told them in the past that the service is great and I'd be willing to pay £20-£25 a year for private non-commercial use but there's no way I could afford a full commercial licence.
My use was restricted (to about 30 seconds per login about every 10 minutes) 19 days ago now. This has caused great inconvenience to me (particularly whilst I was on holiday for a week), I understand that Teamviewer must use algorithms to detect suspected commercial use, however, if they are just going to restrict services for huge periods without an efficient appeals process that algorithm needs to be quite accurate. Needless to say I have not used the product except for my own personal use and cannot understand why my use has been restricted.Guidance of what triggers the algorithm would be helpful.
So I am disgruntled and annoyed at the moment - but hope this disapperas when Teamviewer eventually get round to reviewing my appeal.
It's clear that teamviewer wants to eliminate their free users. I don't mind paying but there is no reasonable home-use license. The business license makes no sense for a non-commercial user.
It is actually gets beyond ridiculous!
Either stop free usage completely or stop annoying your would be customers.
It seems that TV "commercial use" algorithm is quite simple. If computer is set up to use unattended access it qualifies as commercial use.
I use TV between few my computers. Got that dreadful warning (btw, deat TV team you can not count time either. 5 minutes expires in less than 1). Anyway, had to submit the form from ALL computers I use (only 3). Few weeks passed and I got an e-mail saying it was verified I am using TV for private use and restrictions are lifted.
Two weeks later -- "commercial use detected". Seriously? I only used TV once or twice only to connect between my PCs.
If anyone wants real solution that works for personal use -- get **Third Party Product**. Up to 5 PCs is completely free.
**Third Party Product**was around for ages. The only real value of TV is easy connection without need for firewall setup. Real **Third Party Product**does just that without all the nonsense. If you want to connect more machines -- use **Third Party Product**. Yes, it will take some effort to set up your router, but it worth it.
same with me the company is an absolute joke just scamming people into buying the massivly overproced product
Get rid of TV people get **Third Party Product** instead its great and if you want to buy it its SIX TIMES CHEAPER than TV and better
Having exactly the same problem. Really not cool. I too would be more than happy to pay for the product but I am NOT a commercial user and being summarily blocked and accused by some algorithm of being one really doesn't sweeten me on this company.
I'm having the same problem, I was trying to help my brother fix his computer and out of the bkue I get a message that I'm running on a business network. I'm NOT a business either, occasionally I help out a friend or family member with Teamviewer
The way for Teamviewer to handle this without looking like jerks would be to pop up the "Commercial Use Suspected" message and then give the user a certain amount of time to appeal before being cut off. Inasmuch as I have already been using it for some years, I'm not seeing how an extra week or two would constitute a terrible burden for the company. I should add that I have _no_ problem at all with being asked to prove that I am not a commercial user, and as a non-commercial user am also perfectly happy to pay a reasonable fee for the product. But not $50/month!!
TeamViewer needs to be upfront about its "free licence" policy. Is it valid long-term so long as users "play by the rules"? (And maybe monitoring of breaches of the rules needs improving!). Or is it just a temporary licence with eventual unrelenting pressure to buy a professional licence? For my part I think it's the latter but if you go out of your way to insist you're only using it for personal purposes they will grudgingly reinstate your "free" licence for a while. They did this for me but now on accessing certain computers I get a demand to purchase a professional licence, then a brief connection and then a timeout. I'm gradually moving to [deleted by moderator] but unfortunately it does not have all the features that TV does.
I agree completely with all the previous comments.
I've known Teamviewer for quite some time. I am not a commercial user and so far, I have always told all my acquaintances that it was an extraordinary program.
If from now on we are going to have the inconveniences of not being able to use it, there are other similar alternatives such as [deleted by moderator]
Also from this moment, I will stop "making them positive free publication", because I am honestly very ANNOYING.
I believe that the Teamviewer gentlemen should think seriously about their actions, otherwise, in a very short time they will be left without the large list of users we have been using so far.
After reading all these posts, this is the second time I have had to deal with Team Viewer doing something like this.
It is the best remoting software out there, and it has been great. But since they currently have a 30 day turn around in deciding if they are going to temporarily allow you to use the software for free again they have essentially turned it into a version of ransom where.
Once they have you hooked with all your friends and relatives setup so you can help them with promises that it will be free, then they pull the plug and lock you out of everything with no warning.
I am going to start migrating to [deleted by moderator]. While I used to prefer TeamViewer, they are no longer offering truly free software. And I need something reliable on my parents computer when they need help.
They changed the policy and now you have to prove you're not using is commercially... you have to upload your log file... i think they need to go back to how it was before.
I think instead of the monthly fee you can give them an arm, leg or your first born child....
Teamviewer finally removed my flag as a commercial user after waiting for a couple of weeks!
A couple of days later, I am marked as a commercial user again! :-)
My guess is that they haven't changed the faulty algorithm at all. Just "fixing" it by letting a monkey uncheck the commercial user box for my user and click save. Ticket closed! :-)
Teamviewer keeps on surprising us!
I have the same problem
I have the same problem
So I use TeamViewer to remote in to my computers at home from my computer at work. Now the software has flagged my sessions as corporate use when I dont use TeamViewer for work purposes.
Any ideas on how to get it to remove the flag?

I use it for a week now, with PC and Mac. It is absolutly perfect for my kind of use (control friend or family computers and my vidéos server). It is simple as TV, and it is very simple to install the client to take control of a computer whithout password. About the price, the first level is really not expansive but free version is great for familial (and a little more !) usage !
I've totally forget TV, now. RIP.
This doesn't help. This pertains to personal use and it disconnects after about 1 minute. And it makes you wait 10 minutes bfore allowing you to reconnect.
Same issue here :(
I am an 80 yr old retired disabled Navy veteran and have been using Teamviewer for a few years to help my family and a few friends with their computers. I am unable to get to each of them due to my condition. I promise you I have never logged onto any PCs other than private ones and I have never taken anything from those that I have helped. It is just a means of keeping mentally fit. Please do what ever checking you have to and please restore my valued Teamviewer ASAP. Thank you
I got the same problem today and users are complaining about the same issue on Redit. Apparently free is no longer free for personal use. $49 a month is way too high to help a friend.
I've been using teamviewer for long time! I never had any problem. I use to help my friends and my family
Now I moved to different apartment and it is saying I'm using it commercially!
What's happening, I'm really dissapointed. I can use connection like for 1 min only now. I mean what am I doing wrong? I'm using teamviewer as usual.
Same problem here.
I have the same problem, and can not contact the support ?????
I have a commercial license which I use to connect to my clients computers. At one of my clients, the owner of the company who travels extensivley is using teamiewer to access his desktop from his laptop/ipad.
He was recently flagged as using the software commerically. He logged a ticket with teamviewer and they emailed back to say:
Thank you for getting in touch with us. We are happy to inform you that your TeamViewer account has been reset to "free". After reviewing your request, we decided that your use case can be qualified as "personal".
However, he is still unable to access his desktop from the laptop, and is getting the same message as before "The trial license of your connection partner has expired".
Can you point me in the right direction to try and assist him with this?
Hi @amirsachs
Thanks for your post.
Since the error message says that the remote device is on an expired trial, it looks like your client chose "commercial" when installing the software. This is independent from the unblock for his device which has been suspected as commercial use.
This article gives you some additional information about the expired trial: Why do I see TeamViewer trial - 'Your trial period has expired' ?
Just to clarify: The "trial" and the "commercial use suspected/detected"-topics are two different things.
I hope this info help you and your client.
Best, Esther

Did my reply answer your question? Accept it as a solution to help others.
Why does not my free license work any more?
Does not work more than 1 minute.
It claims that I'm on business networks, but I'm on my private network.
A similar problem from a home computer to a home computer

This Is All Kinds Of Wrong of the Day: Calls for the reform of Morocco's penal code were sparked over the weekend as news spread of a teenage girl who had committed suicide after being compelled to marry her rapist.
In Morocco, a rapist can "opt out" of a prison term by marrying his victim, so long as the victim and their family agree. Despite this clause, many say victims are often strong-armed into marriages they want no part of.
16-year-old Amina Filali's father, Lahcen, blamed the marriage on pressure from the courts. "The prosecutor advised my daughter to marry," he told the online news site goud.ma. "He said: 'Go and make the marriage contract'."
According to Amina's mother, the girl complained on more than one occasion that her husband/rapist was beating her, but was advised to be patient. On Saturday, Amina could no longer take the abuse, and made the decision to end her own life by swallowing rat poison.
Moroccan woman, galvanized by Amina's tragic death, have taken to the streets and launched petitions to demand that criminal law be changed to make it explicit that rapists cannot be allowed to marry their victims.
Moroccan law is known for being relatively female-friendly, compared with the rest of North Africa. Despite this, nearly two-third of all Moroccan women experience violence in their lifetimes, and many attorneys are ignorant of recent pro-women reforms, such as the raising of the marriage age from 15 to 18.

Undergraduate Research Journal Enjoys 2nd Edition Since Debut
Elizabeth Exley Hodge (center) posed with several of the students whose work is featured in the latest edition of The Exley.
The Office of Undergraduate Education recently celebrated the latest issue of The Exley, UT Dallas' undergraduate research journal.
Students who contributed research articles and creative works to the journal and supporters attended a luncheon to recognize The Exley. Also attending was Elizabeth Exley Hodge, a former longtime UT Dallas staff member whose contributions helped launch the new journal last spring and for whom it is named.
"The articles and creative works published in The Exley showcase the hard work and dedication of the student authors and their faculty mentors," said Dr. Sheila Amin Gutiérrez de Piñeres, dean of Undergraduate Education. "I hope these works inspire other students to become engaged in research and share their creative work with our university community."
The Exley is a showcase for undergraduate research articles, as well as creative works, such as poetry and photography.
A number of students published research articles. Anandini Sunil Rao, a biology major, penned, "Understanding the Molecular Basis of Pediatric Bone Cancer."
"If we are to fight cancer, we must target the processes that make it so malignant. This research came down to the pure biology of cancer – what makes some cells migrate, and what makes some cells stay in the primary tumor," Rao said.
Cara Curley, a sophomore arts and technology major, contributed to the journal with digital illustrations of dreamlike scenes she created in a game production lab. The landscape for the video game she was designing, titled "Wolfsong," was inspired by the forests near her home in Portland, Ore.
Curley said she used a combination of unnatural shapes, glowing lines, scattered light and a wide range of color to mold the virtual environment.
"I composed all of the concept illustrations in Photoshop, and constantly battled with creating a natural, ethereal feel to the pieces within a rigid technological application," Curley said.
In 2011, Hodge made a generous donation to support the publication of UT Dallas' first interdisciplinary undergraduate journal. The journal was named in her honor to show the University's appreciation.
She began work in the University's administrative offices in 1967 when the institution was called the Southwest Center for Advanced Studies.
Copies of The Exley are available at the Office of Undergraduate Education.

Top Nano News of the Week
Foresight note: Nanosensors were used to identify a biochemical cycle that suppresses the immune response and could thus be involved in both cancer and multiple sclerosis.
Headline: Scientists discover how cancer may take hold
A team, led by researchers at the Carnegie Institution, has found a key biochemical cycle that suppresses the immune response, thereby allowing cancer cells to multiply unabated. The research shows how the biomolecules responsible for healthy T-cells, the body's first defenders against hostile invaders, are quashed, permitting the invading cancer to spread. The same cycle could also be involved in autoimmune diseases such as multiple sclerosis…
The scientists used special molecular "nanosensors" for the work. "We used a technique called fluorescence resonance energy transfer, or FRET, to monitor the levels of, tryptophan, one of the essential amino acids human cells need for viability," explained lead author Thijs Kaper…
"It can be used to identify new drugs that could reduce the ability of cancer cells to uptake tryptophan or their ability to degrade it. We believe that this technology could be a huge boost to cancer treatment."

Headline: Carbon nanotubes have room for multifunctionality
In the quest to turn carbon nanotubes from nanoscale wonder into clinically useful drug and imaging agent delivery agents, researchers have often added polymer coatings to the outside of the nanotubes in order to render them biocompatible. Now, researchers at Stanford University have found that even when coated, carbon nanotubes retain the ability to bind extraordinarily large numbers of drug and imaging agent molecules in a stable yet reversible manner.

Foresight Challenge: Improving health and longevity
Headline: Nanoparticles yield safer light-activated cancer therapy
Photodynamic therapy, in which light activates a chemical known as a photosensitizer, triggering the production of cell-killing reactive oxygen, has proven itself as an effective therapy for a limited number of cancers. Oncologists have long suspected that photodynamic therapy could find broader use if only there was some way to limit the accumulation of photosensitizer molecules to tumors, sparing healthy tissue from unintended damage. Now, using modified silica nanoparticles, a team of investigators at the State University of New York, Buffalo, has developed a photosensitizer delivery method that has the potential to target tumor cells specifically.

Headline: Quantum device traps, detects and manipulates the spin of single electrons
A novel device, developed by a team led by University at Buffalo engineers, simply and conveniently traps, detects and manipulates the single spin of an electron, overcoming some major obstacles that have prevented progress toward spintronics and spin-based quantum computing.
… "The task of manipulating the spin of single electrons is a hugely daunting technological challenge that has the potential, if overcome, to open up new paradigms of nanoelectronics," said Jonathan P. Bird, Ph.D., professor of electrical engineering in the UB School of Engineering and Applied Sciences and principal investigator on the project. "In this paper, we demonstrate a novel approach that allows us to easily trap, manipulate and detect single-electron spins, in a scheme that has the potential to be scaled up in the future into dense, integrated circuits."

Headline: C60 transistor breaks new records
High-performance field effect transistors made from fullerene have been successfully developed by scientists at the Georgia Institute of Technology, US. The devices, which are very stable, have electron-mobility values that outperform amorphous silicon, low threshold voltages and large on-off ratios. They can also be fabricated at room temperature, which makes them compatible with any substrate, including flexible plastic.
…the devices could be used for large area, low-cost electronic circuits on flexible substrates in applications such as RFID tags and signage. The team now plans to integrate the single transistors into circuits such as inverters, ring oscillators, logic gates, drivers for active matrix displays and imaging devices.

Headline: Yale scientists make 2 giant steps in advancement of quantum computing
Two major steps toward putting quantum computers into real practice — sending a photon signal on demand from a qubit onto wires and transmitting the signal to a second, distant qubit — have been brought about by a team of scientists at Yale. The accomplishments are reported in sequential issues of Nature on September 20 and September 27, on which it is highlighted as the cover along with complementary work from a group at the National Institute of Standards and Technologies.

Headline: Using nanotubes to detect and repair cracks in aircraft wings, other structures
Adding even a small amount of carbon nanotubes can go a long way toward enhancing the strength, integrity, and safety of plastic materials widely used in engineering applications, according to a new study.
Researchers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute have developed a simple new technique for identifying and repairing small, potentially dangerous cracks in high-performance aircraft wings and many other structures made from polymer composites.
… [principal investigator Nikhil A.] Koratkar said. "We've shown that nanoscale science, if applied creatively, can really make a difference in large-scale engineering and structures."

Foresight note: This advance incorporates molecularly tethered catalysts to close the resolution gap between the popular and useful microcontact printing (soft lithography) approach and atomically precise fabrication from about 100 nm to about 2 nm.
Headline: Using catalysts to stamp nanopatterns without ink
Using enzymes from E. coli bacteria, Duke University chemists and engineers have introduced a hundred-fold improvement in the precision of features imprinted to create microdevices such as labs-on-a-chip.
"This has a lot of potential, because we don't have the resolution issue," said Robert Clark, a professor of mechanical engineering and materials science and dean at Duke's Pratt School of Engineering. "The really important part is that with a biological catalyst there's no ink involved," added Duke chemistry professor Eric Toone.
… By using different catalysts in succession, future versions of the inkless technique could be used to build complex nanoscale devices with unprecedented precision, the two predicted.

Nanotech Research
Headline: Nanowire generates power by harvesting energy from the environment
…researchers at the University of Illinois have shown that a single nanowire can produce power by harvesting mechanical energy. Made of piezoelectric material, the nanowire generates a voltage when mechanically deformed. To measure the voltage produced by such a tiny wire, however, the researchers first had to build an extremely sensitive and precise mechanical testing stage.
"With the development of this precision testing apparatus, we successfully demonstrated the first controlled measurement of voltage generation from an individual nanowire," said Min-Feng Yu, a professor of mechanical science and engineering, and a researcher at the university's Beckman Institute. "The new testing apparatus makes possible other difficult, but important, measurements, as well."

Editor's Pick
We continue our tradition of citing a special story that strikes the Editor as especially cool, but which doesn't fit within the usual editorial categories of the News Digest.
Devices built with this technique might allow nanomechanical manipulations to be controlled by a single electron—a potential that was not apparent before two different technologies were combined.
— Jim
Headline: Doping technique brings nanomechanical devices into the semiconductor world
With the help of a device capable of depositing metals an atom at a time in the materials used in computer chips, a team of University of Wisconsin-Madison engineers has successfully blended modern semiconductor technology and nanomachines.
The work … marks the advent of a new class of nanomechanical devices with implications ranging from improved solar energy cells and light-emitting diodes to highly sensitive probes capable of measuring single biological molecules.
… The ability to confer the properties of a semiconductor onto the submicroscopic machines scientists are now learning how to build opens the door to a host of new tiny mechanical devices that can be manipulated with a single electron or, in the case of a biological application, a single molecule such as a protein.

Mom Slammed by Hurricane Sandy, Then ALS Diagnosis
Devorah Schochet needs help to make damaged home handicapped-accessible.
May 1, 2013 -- Just six months ago, Hurricane Sandy slammed into Devorah Schochet's Long Island home, flooding the basement and crumbling the foundation. But in February, a grim diagnosis was even more destructive: She was told she had ALS and only a few years to live.
Now, the 39-year-old mother of four is battling not only her insurance company, but the quick physical decline that accompanies amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, often referred to as Lou Gehrig's disease. The progressive neurodegenerative disease causes the death of nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord, which control the muscles throughout the body.
Her mother died of ALS at the age of 59 but, at first, Schochet, who worked in finance before she lost her job, ignored some of the early warning signs -- stumbling in her high heels and a trembling voice.
"I was the executive who always wore heels and ran around the city in them," she told ABCNews.com. "Losing my persona by being unable to wear heels and command a performance by projecting my voice has been the hardest thing to grasp."
The Schochets have faced one tragedy after another since Sandy raged up the East Coast, causing billions of dollars worth of damage and leaving tens of thousands homeless. The entire foundation to their house washed away and left a massive sinkhole.
"All the outside cracked with the force," she said. "The first floor buckled and every single joint cracked. Our immediate neighbor's house burned down when they found the power on."
In the aftermath of the storm, as the family was living in a small rental, her 13-year-old daughter Sabrina underwent major spinal surgery. Schochet's days were spent racing between the hospital, the rental and their damaged home to meet with insurance adjusters.
Schochet has gone public with her story on the fundraising website Root Funding, so that she can renovate her Woodmere, N.Y., home to make it handicapped-accessible.
Schochet worries about the future for her husband, a 44-year-old computer consultant, and her four children, ages 5 to 17.
"I need somebody -- a company or an organization -- to quickly build out the first floor to make a master bedroom and a bathroom and enlarge the kitchen," she said. "I have to have handicapped ramps inside the house.
"I have no idea how fast this disease is. But I am 99.9 percent sure that in the next 10 years, I will be on a [breathing] machine and in a wheelchair."
So far, the family has raised $83,000 through that site, in large part because of the efforts of her neighbor and friend, Sarah Hofstetter, who is president of the ad agency 360i.
Hofstetter and her colleagues volunteered their time to set up the fundraising and to reach out to media to raise awareness. They are hoping home renovation television shows might be able to help.
"It's crazy how she is holding it together," Hofstetter said of her friend.
Their daughters, now 13, have been friends since they were 3.
"Sabrina is strong like her mother," Hofstetter said.
"We were without power for two weeks, but what happened to her is unbelievable," said Hofstetter, 38. "A couple of weeks after her daughter came home from the hospital, she was diagnosed. There was literally nothing we could do to help her with her medical situation, but we could try to raise funds for her to repair her home or get her home prepared for her."
Schochet is chronicling her journey on her blog, Shirat Devorah. She said she is determined to do as much as she can for herself "until I can no longer."
"I have always been a proactive person, a take-charge person," said Schochet. "Friends have offered to go to the grocery store and make dinner. But I want to do it. I sound funny and I walk funny. Otherwise, I am fine."
Life has not been easy for the Schochets. Devorah Schochet struggled with infertility and conceived two of her children through in vitro fertilization. She lost her mother to an inheritable form of early-onset ALS.
When her daughter Sabrina was 8, doctors found a benign tumor on her spine and performed life-threatening surgery. Two years later, Schochet was laid off and has not been able to find full-time work since. About 18 months ago, she developed a speech impediment that was likely related to her ALS.
"I went to many doctors and none could figure out why," she said. "A year ago, I took a job at half my salary, and was laid off six months later because of my voice."
Last July, Schochet began to notice other strange symptoms. She had difficulty walking in her high heels and the fine motor skills in her hands were weakening. Her finger began to curl, but she ignored it.
In October, Schochet was at home looking for work when Hurricane Sandy struck. She had put her children to sleep on a sofa bed in the basement, fearing falling trees.
"About 11:30, I heard a huge crash and it smelled absolutely awful," said Schochet. "Water was coming in everywhere. I had never seen anything like it in my life. I grabbed the kids and whatever I could save and put down towels. Nothing worked. The water was rising and rising."
Rescue workers arrived in wet suits and scuba gear and extricated the family from the house in two shifts. The Schochets spent part of the night at the firehouse and the rest at a Red Cross shelter.
The family lived out of suitcases for a month with friends and family, then moved into a rental home with a long commute to the children's school. Sabrina had another corrective surgery and a six-week recovery period.
By January, the family moved back home where the basement and foundation were "a complete mess." All the utilities were lost and the insurance company paid to replace the boiler. Heat on one side of the house was still not working as they awaited a gas line from the national grid.
"When they finally installed our heat, they cut the line to the air conditioning," she said. "We are having trouble getting the guys back to install our AC before it gets too hot."
Their insurance company, Allstate, denied the claim for foundation work because of a sinkhole, which wasn't covered under the policy, according to Schochet.
"But the sinkhole isn't a real sinkhole -- it was caused by running water," she said. "It isn't structural and the ground is stable. ... The company isn't playing fair."
April Eaton, corporate relations manager for Allstate, said the company had a "strong record" of responding to Hurricane Sandy claims of more than $718 million.
"We are handling this as fairly as we can, based on what we see," she said. "We are really working hard with people to do the right thing. I feel for this family and am frustrated for people going through Hurricane Sandy -- it's hard."
She said the Schochets have two policies with Allstate, a homeowner's one, in which all claims were paid, and flood insurance, which is strictly regulated by the National Flood Insurance Program. (NFIP)
"We only do what they tell us to do -- we are legally bound," she said of NFIP. "They have the policy language that we follow and a certified flood adjuster, based on what they see, reports back."
In the dispute over foundation damage and the sinkhole, Eaton said article 5, exclusions section C, stipulates that the flood policy will not insure earth movement, "even by flood."
"Because of that, the claim was denied," she said. "We are operating on behalf of NFIP and we have to follow these guidelines. … We've got to go by the rules. There is no wiggle room around this."
Meanwhile, Schochet's hands continued to weaken and, in February, her husband urged her to see a neuromuscular neurologist, who determined she had the same gene for ALS as her mother. She was put on medication, but told there was no cure.
One doctor told her she would only live two to four years more. Another told her ALS diagnoses were variable.
"I liked that one better," she said.
Before even looking at house renovations to accommodate her illness, the Schochets estimated repairs to the existing house will cost $150,000.
Their homeowner's policy paid for wind damage to the siding, electric work and a fence.
The flood policy with the company replaced the boiler, but not foundation and concrete damage, an old oil tank removal and repairs from the house shifting.
"There are so many programs that do this," Schochet said of television reality shows. "We have to get their attention now. We could save our money and get permits the regular way but that could take years, and I don't have years."
Still, she is optimistic: "I just see things can be miserable or I can go on with life."

On Wednesday March 13, the Israeli Supreme Court in Jerusalem gave a ray of hope to a family who have been fighting for justice over the shooting of their father and husband, Ziad Jilani, nearly three years ago.
Ziad Jilani was killed after a traffic incident on the main road leading to Wadi Joz, in occupied East Jerusalem. His car swerved towards a dozen Israeli police and border police, hitting four of them. After the collision Ziad continued to drive. Officers fired at the vehicle. After the car turned into an alleyway, Ziad tried to escape by foot.
Ziad was then shot in the head and was pronounced dead later that day by the al-Maqased Hospital on June 11, 2010.
Shot at point blank range, flawed investigations and absent justice
The two officers who had had chased Ziad and were responsible for the shooting, Maxim Venogrodov and Shadi Hir al Din, claimed in their first testimony that they had fired from a distance at the vehicle. When Maxim was asked in the course of the investigation whether anyone had shot at Ziad after he fell, he answered, "I definitely didn't. Regarding anyone else—I don't remember who fired, there was just me and Shadi."
However, after an autopsy revealed Ziad had died from shots to the head at point blank range, the testimonies of Shadi and Maxim altered.
In his second testimony, Maxim Venogrodov stated: "I approached the terrorist while he was lying on his stomach on the ground, in order to ascertain that he was no longer dangerous and didn't have a bomb. Just then he moved his hand. It could have been anything, a knife, a gun, an attempt to activate a bomb, and because I was close to him, I shot without taking aim with my gun. I'd only come to check him, after all, and as far as I know, I hit him in the head."
Asmar Q., one of two residents of the alley who testified at the Police Investigations Unit, recalled: "The policeman was yelling at Ziad and talking to him in Hebrew ... and he was holding his rifle and aiming at Ziad with his foot on Ziad's neck ... Suddenly he shot Ziad two or three times ... Then he kicked Ziad in the face with his foot."
Following the shooting, the Israeli Police Internal Investigation's unit (Machash) collected testimony from the soldiers and personnel, but did not question any eyewitnesses in the area on the same day.
As a result of the investigation conducted by Machash, the State Prosecutor's Office decided to close the case for lack of evidence on January 16, 2011.
This is despite expert forensics stating the cause of death was severe damage to the brain caused by the passage of two bullets through the head with crushing fractures of the skull, proving the first testimonies of the soldiers to be false.
Border Police spokesman Shai Hakimi, in response to an inquiry from Haaretz, said: "The incident has been investigated and examined by the Police Investigations Unit and the investigation file was closed due to lack of guilt."
It's been a long time. I keep fighting and after this I will keep fighting if we don't see justice. It's not just Ziad who was killed that day, [but] the whole of humanity was killed
It's been a long time. I keep fighting and after this I will keep fighting if we don't see justice. It's not just Ziad who was killed that day, [but] the whole of humanity was killed
"It should be noted that there has been a 17 percent decline in border policemen involvement in disciplinary incidents and public complaints, compared with last year. Border policemen are at the most significant friction points and carry out their task devotedly and irreproachably for the sake of state security," he said.
The following month, on February 15, 2011, the family submitted an appeal to the legal adviser to the government, against the closing of the case by Machash.
By the end of that year, on November 13, in his final decision on the appeal, the State Prosecutor Menachem Mazuz decided it would not alter Machash's decision to close the case.
Refusing to give up, Ziad's wife Moira and their three daughters submitted an appeal on January 4 2013 to the Israeli Supreme Court, through the al-Mezan Center for Human Rights, demanding that the new state prosecutor, Yehuda Weinstein, bring criminal charges against Ziad's murderers.
This is the family's third appeal to the Israeli authorities for justice.
Appeal at the Supreme Court
On February 13, Moira and her 3 daughters attended the hearing at the Supreme Court.
During the proceedings, Shadi's lawyer argued that if a police officer is put on trial for doing his job by trying to protect Israel from terrorist attacks, it would weaken the whole system. The lawyer of Maxim claimed criminal intent could be argued on Ziad's side.
The defence claimed that their defendants were afraid and in fear of their lives and of the lives of those around them, offering up the usual "terrorism" justifications.
The state prosecutor said they cannot say who is in the wrong, because they couldn't prove beyond reasonable doubt on either side and so ruled to not press charges.
However the state prosecutor, who had previously not charged those who shot and killed Ziad, is now obliged to hand over all evidence to the Supreme Court by March 24.
"Now I have hope. Before today I didn't, honestly I didn't," said Ziad's wife, Moira.
Moira began a campaign called "Killing Without Consequence" to lobby not just for justice for Ziad but for accountability in the Israeli army for killing any Palestinian. The campaign highlights the lack of justice provisions in place for families such as the Jilanis. The website states the belief that with prosecutions one can alter the behaviour of the soldiers, pointing to the killing of internationals which stopped after the Israeli authorities were shown to take the matter seriously and apprehend those responsible.
"It's been a long time. I keep fighting and after this I will keep fighting if we don't see justice," Moira said. "It's not just Ziad who was killed that day, [but] the whole of humanity was killed. Jews, Muslims, it doesn't matter what religion you are, you are still a human being."
"This is unprecedented that the court ask to look at the evidence by themselves," said the family's lawyer Mohammed Soliman Egbrih.
Maxim did not attend the hearing. Shadi appeared briefly, sitting at the back of the court, behind Moira and her daughters. After playing on his phone for fifteen minutes he left.

It promises to be an active recruiting week for the Bradley men's basketball team as the one-month spring signing period begins on Wednesday.
BU expects to receive a National Letter of Intent from 6-foot-2 shooting guard Kendahl Amerson of Utah State-Eastern College.
Amerson, a Detroit native, averaged 17.5 points last season at USU-E, hitting on 40 percent of his 205 3-point shots. He will have two years of eligibility remaining.
The Braves continue to look for scoring help on the perimeter as 6-3 guard Warren Jones of Southeastern Iowa Community College will pay an official visit this weekend.
Jones, who played high school ball at Sandoval in southern Illinois, averaged 16.8 points last season at Southeastern, hitting 41 percent of his 3-point attempts (54-for-132). He also made 51 percent of his field-goal attempts in his sophomore year and 74 percent of his free-throw tries.
The Braves are also awaiting be the much-anticipated announcement by Chicago Morgan Park star Josh Cunningham.
Cunningham's coach, Nick Irvin, said Monday night that the 6-7 forward will announce his decision next week — not on Friday because the school will be closed that day.
While Cunningham has offers from high-profile schools such as Indiana, Creighton, Minnesota, DePaul and South Carolina, Bradley has remained on the list of programs he's considering.
It's believed to have been decades since Bradley last signed a top-100 prospect like Cunningham directly out of high school.
Cunningham's mother is a BU graduate and Cunningham is good friends with Bradley freshman Xzavier Taylor, a former Morgan Park teammate.
Once Amerson signs, BU coach Geno Ford will have three scholarship openings on his roster as well as an assistant coaching spot to fill.
So far this spring, three Braves have been subtracted from the roster — forward Chris Blake, who lost his appeal to the NCAA for an extra year and freshmen Jordan Swopshire and Stefan Zecevic, who have decided to transfer.

DEAR CAROLYN: I have no bond with my mother, and never have, including as an infant. She is self-centered, probably has Narcissistic Personality Disorder, and makes herself look good by spinning partial truths to make other people look bad. Her usual target over the years has been me (yes, this is relevant).
I belong to an organization that holds an event over Fourth of July weekend in a different city every year. This is the first year I'm able to go because it's in my area of the country. I've had these plans for a year, and have been getting more and more excited to combine my first vacation ever with this event.
My brother emailed to inform me that my mother's 70th birthday celebration was all figured out - July 5 for 25 people at $40 per person - and that because he understands my financial difficulties, he and our other brother were prepared to cover the cost.
I'm insulted that I wasn't consulted regarding an event they're suggesting I might "co-host," but I'm trying to let that go. My real issue: Am I now obligated to cancel my only vacation, ever, to attend? If I go, I will be resentful (obviously). If I don't go, it is fodder for family gossip about what a terrible daughter I am. It looks to me like a lose-lose situation. - M.
ANSWER: I can see how you'd think that, after a lifetime as the preferred target of a dysfunctional family.
But please trust this: People accustomed to being treated with respect would respond immediately to that email with: "Geez - wish you'd run the date by me first! I'll be on a vacation that weekend that I planned a year ago. If you change the date, I'm in."
The only "lose" in that scenario would be the disappointment of having to miss a celebration you care about - not the terror of poking wasp nests with a stick.
I suggest you respond to your brother with those words anyway, as if you are a valued equal in a healthy family. Why? Because your mother's problems confer no obligation on you to make them your problems, too. You get to live as any other independent adult does. If that whips Mama into a frenzy, then figure out the radius of her frenzy's reach and step calmly, decisively outside it.
You may still see this as a notch in the loss column. As long as you're prepared to withstand the fallout, though, I actually see it as a win, because it says to your mother and anyone who's still in her sway, "Breaking news: I'm beyond the reach of your powers."
That fallout won't be fun; on the contrary. The first time a controlling person notices that she's losing control, the punishment is usually swift and merciless.
It only works, though, if you keep caring what she says about you. I know, I know - it's very hard work to get there. But you know she's bad egg. It's within your power to upgrade that from intellectual awareness to core, life-guiding conviction.
As you weigh whether you're ready to fight this battle, please consider the alternative: Remaining, alone and under-armed, in the losing battle for your mother's acceptance. Maybe she can't be kind to you, but you can.
Email Carolyn at firstname.lastname@example.com, follow her on Facebook at facebook.com/carolyn.hax or chat with her online at noon Eastern time each Friday at washingtonpost.com.

Franchione gets new five-year deal at Texas State
San Marcos, TX – Dennis Franchione signed a new five-year contract to remain the head football coach at Texas State.
Franchione will earn $350,000 for the upcoming season and will see his salary rise to $400,000 for the final four years of the deal.
Texas State went 4-8 last season in Franchione's second year at the helm. The Bobcats will play in the Sun Belt Conference next fall.
"Coach Franchione has been a strong leader for our program, increased visibility, generated a high level of enthusiasm and instilled a strong work ethic for student-athletes on and off the field," said Texas State president Denise M. Trauth. "There has been great buzz about being elevated to the top level of college football, and we expect more good things as our program grows."
Franchione led Texas State to a 13-9 record in 1990-91. After his short stint with the Bobcats, he went on to coach New Mexico, TCU, Alabama and Texas A&M, resigning from the latter following the 2007 season. That year, reports revealed Franchione was sending out e-mails with inside information on the football team to boosters, who paid $1,200 to receive them.
In 27 years as a collegiate head coach, Franchione has compiled a 197-115-2 record.

Delegates meet to discuss eco-tourism in first conference of its kind in Palestine
PM collaborators
- November 14, 2016

Beit Sahour
Send by email:
On November 9, dozens of Palestinians and internationals gathered in Beit Sahour for a
on the future of Palestinian eco-tourism – the first of its kind to be held on Palestinian soil. The attendees – from NGOs, and officials from international governments – met to discuss challenges and opportunities for the Palestinian tourism sector.
Many of the attendees highlighted the economic potential of eco-tourism. As Rula Maa'yaa, the Palestinian tourism minister noted, "tourism in Palestinian is already 15% of GDP, and we hope to increase this significantly over the next five years."
The minister reminded the audience that Palestine was hugely important religiously - "this is the home to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre and the Al-Aqsa Mosque" - but that the Palestinian tourist industry could expand from beyond attracting pilgrims, and create more jobs for Palestinians.
This starting point, Maa'yaa claimed, could help Palestine "make the most of its potential and improve the lives of its people through tourism."
Maa'yaa's comments were echoed by other speakers.
Richard Asbeck works for the
Hanns Seidel Foundation
, a German organisation dedicated to promote sustainable development around the world.
Like Maa'yaa, Asbeck noted that "like no other industry, eco-tourism can help the Palestinian economy." Unlike other industries, eco-tourism can be economically beneficial while also protecting the environment. Asbeck explained this is especially important given that Palestine is a signatory of the
latest UN agreement
on climate change, signed in 2015.
Asbeck also emphasised how eco-tourism could help individual Palestinians – not just the economy as a whole. For example, young women in the village of Beni Naim, near Hebron, have been making local handicrafts, like soap, for visiting tourists and received support for it. Support from organisations like the
American consulate
in Jerusalem have helped them sell their products for better prices. The black dresses worn by some of the attendees, adorned with elegant embroidered patterns, are vivid testament to the vibrancy of local handicrafts.
Homestays with Palestinian families are also becoming more popular because they allow visitors to experience life in a traditional Palestinian home. The
Rozana Association
, a group dedicated to promoting sustainable rural development in Palestine, has established twelve homestays throughout the West Bank, employing over 25 women. Rozana also runs
, a website for Palestinian hosts and their foreign guests to meet and arrange visits.
But if Palestinian eco-tourism has huge economic potential, speakers also discussed some serious challenges. For one thing, preserving the environment would be far easier through regional cooperation. Indeed many problems, like the
widespread pollution
afflicting the River Jordan, transcend borders. As Asbeck insisted: "we need to go beyond borders to protect the environment. Because the environment is so fragile, regional cooperation is needed if eco-tourism is to be sustainable."
Osama Hassan, a representative from the Jordanian government, gave an interesting example of this. He highlighted how his government has set aside land for several endangered species of bird in Jordan. "Palestinians need to also set aside land to protect these animals," he said. After all, not even Israeli landmines can stop herons flying from Jordan to the West Bank.
Action of this kind is difficult because there is a lack of awareness among Palestinians about their natural heritage as the minister herself conceded: "The Palestinian people do not know about their environment." "Part of this conference is to inform the Palestinian people about their environment, and their country," she added.
To this end, attendees several projects aimed at raising awareness about Palestinian natural beauty. Mahmoud Eid, an official in the education ministry, discussed how his team took Jericho school children to nearby nature reserves and "encouraged them to take photos of this beautiful nature," as well as participate in activities like olive-picking.
Elsewhere, vocational courses about protecting the environment – encompassing 500 hours of training per trainee – have also been established.
A website
also been set up to inform young Palestinians about the natural heritage of their country.
Efforts like this can also take on a political slant. For instance, Eid discussed a scheme to teach young Palestinians about the environmental impact of illegal Jewish settlements. As
Palestine Monitor reported recently
, settlers habitually dump their rubbish near Palestinian houses, creating major health and environmental problems.
This sort of thing is important, Maa'yaa explains, because "Protecting our environment and encouraging eco-tourism is not just good for the economy. It is also a form of resistance. "
"A people without its nature are dead," she ended

The Towards Carfree Cities conference is a week away!
In case you missed the first mention back in April, here are the relevant details:
What: A conference that "brings together people from around the world who work to promote practical alternatives to car dependence"
When: June 16-20, 2008
Where: Portland. Oregon (You can take the train!)
How much: Check the registration rates on the conference site.
Some stuff I forgot to mention the first time around:
1) The conference's cool motto (a good enough reason to attend, as far as I'm concerned): "Live Free or Drive." Props to the person who thought that up.
2) The free "Public Day" on the 17th:
We are committed to making this conference as inclusive as possible. If you are unable to attend for the entire week, please consider participating in our free events, such as Public Day on June 17th which features our keynote speakers, programs on Carfree Family Living and Portland's Freeway History.

Senator Bernard Sanders of Vermont said on Wednesday that he would try to block the Senate from confirming Ben S. Bernanke to a second term as chairman of the Federal Reserve.
The move is unlikely to derail Mr. Bernanke's reappointment, but it could slow the confirmation process and give the Fed's critics additional opportunity to press their case. As a practical matter, it means Senate Democratic leaders will have to line up 60 votes in favor of Mr. Bernanke rather than a simple majority at a time when the Federal Reserve is under increasing populist attacks from lawmakers on both the right and the left.
Mr. Bernanke will testify on Thursday at his confirmation hearing before the Senate banking committee. He is expected to face criticism for not doing more to prevent the financial crisis, and calls by some lawmakers for a sharply reduced regulatory role in the future.
Mr. Sanders, an independent, is not a member of the Senate banking committee, but he has frequently accused the Federal Reserve of bailing out Wall Street firms and the banking industry at the expense of ordinary citizens.
"In this country, there is profound disgust at what happened on Wall Street," Mr. Sanders said in a telephone interview. "People want a new direction and people are asking, where was the Fed? How did the Fed allow this to happen, when one of their mandates to oversee the safety and soundness of the banking system?"
Mr. Sanders said he would place a hold on Mr. Bernanke's nomination when it reached the Senate floor. Under Senate rules, lawmakers would need to amass 60 votes to override Mr. Sanders and proceed with a vote on the nomination.
Though the Senate has been paralyzed by similar blocking tactics on countless other issues, Mr. Bernanke probably has enough support in both parties to clear the 60-vote hurdle.
The Fed chairman was originally appointed by President George W. Bush and took over the central bank in February 2006. Despite his Republican ties, Mr. Bernanke forged a close working relationship with President Obama and his top economic advisers during the financial crisis.
Mr. Bernanke's four-year term as Fed chairman ends on Jan. 31, 2010. If he were not reconfirmed by then, he could continue to serve in an acting role until he was confirmed or someone else was confirmed to succeed him. His supporters include much of the Senate's Democratic leadership, though some senior Democrats have been more grudging than others.
Senator Christopher J. Dodd, Democrat of Connecticut and chairman of the banking committee, has said Mr. Bernanke was "probably" the best person to lead the Fed because he responded valiantly to the financial crisis when it began two years ago.
But Mr. Dodd has also proposed stripping the Federal Reserve of virtually all its powers as a banking regulator, and consolidating all the federal government's bank regulatory efforts in a new agency. In an Op-Ed article last Sunday in The Washington Post, Mr. Bernanke sharply criticized Mr. Dodd's proposal.
Senator Richard C. Shelby of Alabama, the top Republican on the Senate banking committee, has also been sharply critical of the Federal Reserve but has not yet said how he will vote on Mr. Bernanke's nomination.
Mr. Sanders, one of the Senate's most left-leaning lawmakers, had already said he would vote against Mr. Bernanke's appointment. He has also sponsored a bill that would allow Congress to "audit" all of the Federal Reserve's activities, including its core mission of steering the economy by setting interest rates.
Mr. Sanders's bill is identical to one championed by Representative Ron Paul, Republican of Texas, which Mr. Bernanke and other top Fed officials have adamantly opposed on the grounds that it would undermine the central bank's political independence.
But in a surprising setback to the Fed, the House Financial Services Committee voted last month to approve Mr. Paul's bill as an amendment to a broader bill aimed at overhauling financial regulation.

Review on House Trap by Mike Mauthor
A blog called "A Journey with Books" recently post a review of House Trap. Besides reading the actual review at that site you should also check it out in general: http://debasishray19.blogspot.in/ . Thanks again Debasish Ray Mohapatra for the post.
WARNING:- This review has a major spoiler and reveal the twist of House Trap.
About story:
The story started with a cool and chill night. Everyone was preparing themselves for the upcoming Christmas. A little boy, just 10 years old, named Nicolas was staring at the sky and imagining about those gifts he'd be going to get for this Christmas. But all of a sudden mishap happened in his house that night. Nicolas found both of his parents murdered inside the house.
After 30 years, the same scenario happened again. But this time it was about Rachel who went to Alicia's house as a tutor and had to spend a night there which was against her decision. Alicia's father was the inventor of house trap and a well renowned person for his invention. But that night unfortunately, Alicia's parents were absent inside the house. Two intruders, one of them was Jay Alicia's friend and another one was Scott entered to house for some money. They both killed Alicia and tried to kill Rachel and Alicia's brother Nathan and little sister Amy.
But the story looked most interesting, when you will get to know that Alicia's father was no other than Nicolas, a person who went through these incidents at his tender age and invented house trap for the safety purpose. Now his invention worked as curse for his family. As the house trap was activated no one was able to come outside of that house including murderers and innocent kids. And after finishing the story I am sure that the whole drama was with full of suspense and actions and also thrilled you.
For me: What I liked about this story was finally Rachel learnt a lesson about life, freedom and realized that family & friends are much more important than just a good college and a degree.
The story was well plotted just like sequences of picture frames and it was smooth and a well thrilled story. I enjoyed it.
Don't forget to keep checking this blog for any further news on the sequel to House Trap titled Fiery Trap. Take care and I hope you come here again soon:) House Trap is available on amazon, barnes and noble, kobo, sony, and smashwords.

Rome Third Graders Send Valentine's Day Greetings To The Troops
Some third grade students at Bellamy Elementary in Rome are sending a special greeting to our troops overseas.
Shelby Mason's Students created Valentines Day cards they Assemblyman Anthony Brindisi collected and will send to an Army unit in Afghanistan.
Mason said it was a great opportunity to teach the children about the sacrifices made by American troops.
The Valentines were designed and created by each student and included a message of thanks and support for the soldiers.
