New at FindLaw: 5 Potentially Dangerous Baby, Kids' Products
By Steven Tanner on July 16, 2014 10:29 AM
Today's parents live in a golden age of baby accessories, including video-enabled baby monitors, ergonomically designed baby carriers, and even tiny fans made especially for drying a baby's behind. Most of these items are safe, even if some of them are quite useless. Trusting your instincts as a parent is important, but sometimes a flawed design or unintended use can lead to injury or even death.
Product liability laws help minimize these risks, but sadly, consumer safety warnings and recalls typically only come on the heels of multiple injuries or deaths.
Here are five new articles at FindLaw.com discussing the potential dangers of baby and kids' products:
Bumbo Baby Seat Recall Information: These are molded foam rubber seats that are intended to be used on the floor, to help babies sit up before they are able to do so on their own. The first recall was in 2007, after several infants suffered injuries (including skull fractures) when they fell out of the seats; another recall followed five years later to allow the company to install safety straps. The seats are still on the market, but come with safety straps and copious warnings to parents.
Magnetic Toys and the Buckyballs Recall: A popular children's toy called "Buckyballs" (named for the geodesic structures designed by the iconic inventor R. Buckminster Fuller) was recalled in 2010 because of concerns over swallowed magnets. Kids were reportedly using the tiny magnets, which they removed from the toys, as tongue and mouth "piercings." But similar toys and children's products with tiny magnets also were recalled following reports of serious injuries (and at least one child's death) from swallowed magnets.
Nap Nanny Recall Information: The Nap Nanny, an infant "recliner" responsible for the deaths of five infants, was voluntarily recalled by manufacturer Baby Matters in 2013. But it took a lawsuit by the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) to force the company's hand. The Nap Nanny was designed as a sleep recliner for infants, but its flawed design caused some users to fall off the side or become strangled, while the accompanying Nap Nanny sheets posed a suffocation risk.
Lead in Toys and Lead Poisoning in Children: The fact that lead causes serious damage to the health and brain development of children is not a new discovery. While lead paint was phased out in virtually all product categories years ago, several children's toys were made with alarmingly high levels of lead as recently as 2009. In one example, a children's charm bracelet that contained 99.1 percent lead raised the child wearer's blood-lead level to more than three times the maximum safe level. This article provides some practical tips to help you determine whether your child has been exposed to lead.
Baby Slings and Sling Carriers: As with the aforementioned Bumbo, many of the injuries associated with the use of baby slings -- fabric sleeves used for carrying a child, often worn over one shoulder -- result from incorrect use. But after several deaths and serious injuries, the CPSC advised parents to stop using slings for infants younger than 4 months old. Also, some of the slings were poorly designed or used insufficiently strong materials, resulting in injuries (including skull fractures) from broken parts or other product failures.
Baby product failures can have devastating effects. The best way to ensure the safety of your child when purchasing baby gear is to stay up-to-date on recalls and learn about common child safety hazards.

The all-electric Italdesign GTZero concept has been unveiled at the Geneva motor show. It is built on a monocoque carbonfibre frame and has a 311-mile range and high-tech interior. The 483bhp Lamborghini Huracán-derived concept is powered by three motors — two on the front axle and one on the rear. The maker claims its modular layout allows for several configuration and powertrain options, including a 3+1 seating layout and the use of hybrid technology.
Power comes from batteries integrated into the frame and inside the central tunnel. It has 22in wheels at the front and 23in at the rear, while the air intakes and spoiler provide an active aerodynamic system. The four-wheel-drive and four-wheel-steering concept was styled under Italdesign design boss Filippo Perini, formerly of Lamborghini.
The solid monocoque carbonfibre frame with aluminium sub-frames allows the accommodation of different body shapes and fuel systems due to the ability to change overall dimensions while keeping the carbonfibre structure the same. Inside, there are three large air vents with no internal structure on the dashboard. All functions except for the parking brake are controlled via touchscreens.

Life and careerEdit
Morris was born in Folkestone, Kent. He won a choral scholarship to Magdalen College School, Oxford, at the age of nine. He went on to read English at Magdalen College at the University of Oxford. His tutor was C. S. Lewis.
During World War II, his brother was killed in North Africa. That and his own experiences serving in the war led Morris to become a peace activist. He later became an active member of the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament and helped organize the first Artists for Peace exhibition in the 1980s.
After the war, Morris decided to become an artist, and he studied at the École des Beaux-Arts. Some of his portraits and landscapes were exhibited by the Royal Society of Portrait Painters and the Royal Academy, and two of his murals depicting views from Waterloo Bridge are displayed at St. John's Church, Waterloo Road, London. He taught art for 20 years in the Royal Academy Schools and lectured at various other schools in London, Oxford and Brighton.
Morris was an amateur actor who staged Shakespeare productions in a converted barn called the "Bottom Theatre" at his home in Roughwood, Buckinghamshire. In 2004, he was recommended for a role in the TV mystery series Jonathan Creek by his friend, director Sandy Johnson. He went on to appear in the TV movie When I'm 64 and the comedy series Little Britain and Saxondale. In 2005, he played Grandpa George in Tim Burton's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
He married Olwen Goodwin, a pianist, in 1957 and they had four children: Sarah, Martin, Stephen and Anna. Morris died on 29 October 2007 from a heart attack, aged 83.[1][2]

"Perseus and Andromeda" by Frederic Leighton
"Perseus and Andromeda" by Frederic Leighton dramatically portrays the Greek mythological story of Andromeda. In contrast to the classic Greek origins of the tale, Leighton used a Gothic style for the artwork. Perseus is depicted flying above, on his winged horse Pegasus. He shoots an arrow that hits the sea monster, who turns to attack the hero. Andromeda's white body is contrasted against the dark masses of the monster's wing, and depicted as pure innocence. A halo of light surrounds Pegasus and Perseus.
In Greek mythology, Andromeda was the daughter of the King and Queen of Ethiopia. Her mother, the beautiful, but vain queen boasted that Andromeda, her daughter was more beautiful than all the sea nymphs. The sea nymphs were the daughters of Poseidon, the god of the sea, and when the nymphs heard of her claims, they protested to their father. Poseidon, to punish the Queen for her hubris, called up a sea monster to wreak havoc on Ethiopia and this monster placed the kingdom at risk. In response, the Queen, together with the King, decided to sacrifice their daughter, Princess Andromeda, to the beast.
Andromeda was chained to a rock as an offering to the monster. Fortunately, Perseus was travelling home on his winged horse, Pegasus, after battling and killing with Medusa. He rescued Andromeda by killing the beast. The couple fell in love, but the Princess was already betrothed to Phineus. Perseus challenged Phineus at the wedding, but the fight was drawn to a conclusion when Phineus was turned to stone after Perseus revealed the head of Medusa to Phineus. Perseus had killed Medusa, but any mortal man who looked on Medusa's dead face could still turn to stone.
Sir Frederic Leighton, the artist, was successful and famous during his lifetime with many works depicted historical, biblical, and classical subjects. Leighton was the bearer of the shortest-lived peerage in history, 1st Baron Leighton. After only one day his hereditary peerage became extinct upon his death. Leighton remained a bachelor with no legitimate children.
Leighton's house in Holland Park, London has been turned into a museum, the Leighton House Museum. It has many of his drawings and paintings, as well as some of his former art collection including works by Old Masters and his contemporaries.

The building shown at the left is in Lyndhurst, Ohio, on the north side of Cedar Road, between Green and Richmond Roads. It was dedicated as Cedar Sinai Synagogue in 2011, the new home of Warrensville Center Synagogue - Kehillat Yaakov, which had been located on Warrensville Center Road, south of Mayfield Road.
In July 2012 some members of Taylor Road Synagogue joined Cedar Sinai Synagogue, which then adopted a new name "Oheb Zedek Cedar Sinai Synagogue". The two congregations have not merged however.
Though the outside of this building is simple, its interior is splendid. The lower picture at the left shows the chapel in the early morning light. The two stained glass windows in the chapel tell the history of the synagogue and its times.
The window at the right, titled Immigration Window, donated by Lester Tavens and family, is dedicated to the memory of Rabbi Israel Porath and Rabbi David Genuth. The window is shown below, with an explanation of its design and information on the artist.
Rabbi Israel Porath led the Oheb Zedek and N'vai Zedek congregations, which live on in the history of this shul. During his years as "dean" of Cleveland's Orthodox rabbis he did much to further unity and community. Thus it is specially appropriate that he be remembered here, in a congregation that describes itself as "The Modern Orthodox Shul for Unity and Community."
The old country. Europe with small houses, broken menorah, sword, whip etc. There also is the yellow star "Jude" that Hitler's Germany forced Jews to wear.
The ship, its passenger manifest and Ellis Island are next.
Above are people shlepping their pekelech (packages) and the Statue of Liberty.
There is the symbol of Menorah Park, the front page of Die Yiddishe Velt (Cleveland's main Yiddish language newspaper for more than 40 years), The Temple (Tifereth Israel on East 55th Street) and the old Scovill Avenue home of Ohel Jacob. Next is the Jewish Orphan Home, forerunner to Bellefaire, and the old Montefiore home.
Left of the torch is a horse and cart (Jacob Saperstein's cart from which American Greetings would grow) and the old Warrensville Center Road shul. To the right is the symbol of B'nai B'rith and the Hebrew Cultural Gardens. Views of the new Cedar Sinai building are shown. At the very top are the flag of the State of Israel and the words "Cleveland Jewish News".
Barak Uranovsky was born in Cape Town, South Africa in 1972 to an artistic family, Barak's father Meyer is an acclaimed painter, his mother a fabric artist, his brother an architect, and his sisters musicians.
Barak studied art at school and did an apprenticeship with David Manning, one of South Africa's leading stained-glass artists. He came to Israel in 1990 for a year in Yeshiva but ended up enlisting in the IDF the next year, combining Torah study and military service in the "Hesder" framework until 1995, when he was discharged from the army.
Thanks to Lester Tavens for the description of the window, the image, and the information on the artist, which first appeared in a Cedar Sinai Newsletter.
Our pages on Sam and Minnie Klausner tell of the Tetiever Congregation, which built its first shul on East 40th Street (1914), then Linn Drive in Glenville (1926) and then the Warrensville Center Synagogue (1957).
For more stained glass windows on these pages see the Tiffany Windows at the old Euclid Avenue Temple, and the Arthur Szyk windows at The Temple at University Circle.

Fate of the Lustful in Canto V of Inferno Essay
As we all know, a first impression is a lasting one. As true as this statement may be, when reading between the lines of someone's seemingly innocent story, they can turn out to be totally different people. In Canto 5 of Inferno, this exact phenomenon is portrayed. Canto 5 brings us to the second circle of Hell, the circle for the lustful souls, where we meet Francesca and Paolo.
These two sinners tell Dante a woeful tale of love and betrayal through their tears. Francesca, the woman who tells the story seems so pitiful and sad, not because of what she had done, but because she is in Hell. Francesca says that she is in hell unjustly because she loved the man she is now spinning in an eternal wind with. Dante believes her wholeheartedly and is sucked into her sob story. The readers other the other hand, know better.
Before telling exactly how she ending up in the Second Circle of Hell, Francesca says "Love that flames soonest in the gentle heart.. love which allows no loved one not to love seized me... love lead us to one death." (Esolen, 5:100-106). By speaking of love this way, Francesca is falsely personifying an emotion. She claims love made her commit this sin of incontinence which, by definition, is the failure to restrain ones desires. Without looking beyond her words, there is an instant feeling of pity for the couple who seems to be incorrectly placed here. However, looking past her false images of love we know that love is not a seizing force; it is a feeling which Francesca is confusing lust with.
Francesca repeatedly speaks of love and how it is the reason of her death and suffering, then quickly switches to hate. She sends hatred to the man who ended her life. The sinner says "The realm of Cain waits for...
...r to accept her sins. She continuously blames her actions on other. First love and now the author of the book is the reason her and Paolo sinned.
In Canto 33, Dante learns his lesson in regards to trusting the sinners as they tell their stories. Count Ugolino tells his story to Dante, and starts nearly the same way as Francesca had; he says "You'll see me weeping, speaking through my tears." (Esolen, 33:9). Ugolino tells Dante he is only a victim in his situation. Being one Canto away from the end of Inferno, Dante knows better than to pity Ugolino and remains unbiased. Dante can tell that Ugolino does belong where he has been placed.
In Inferno it is extremely important to look beneath the words sinners say to Dante. When sinners tell their stories, looking past their trickery is sometimes the only way to see their real sins and why their punishment is justified.
Characters and Creatures of Inferno Essay
- Characters and Creatures of Inferno Throughout Dante's terrifying quest into the depths of Inferno he encounters many mythological characters and creatures. The legendary characters that Dante borrows from the Greek mythology are punished in his hell for deceiving others and succumbing to the excitement of passion, amongst them are Dido, Odysseus, Achilles, Paris and Helen, Tristan and Sinon. The mythical monsters oversee these damned souls. These imaginary creatures are of central importance to Dante's journey and to the narrative, as they not only challenge his presence in Inferno, but also are guardians of Hell, judging and punishing the souls....

Inferno by Dante Alighieri Essay
- In Dante's Inferno, Dante creates inventive imagery between ones sin and the punishment they would receive in Hell. One of the main themes that Dante uses in the book is allegory, or how the punishment fits the sin. This theme illustrates what happens to people who sin on earth. In this theme Dante created a hell that had nine levels, each worse than the first. Starting with a lesser heaven and ending with the icy cold ninth circle, where Lucifer resides. In each circle, sinners are punished according to their crimes.... [tags: lucifer, allegory, limbo, punishment]
Dante's Inferno: The Theme of Anti-love in Canto XXVIII Essay
- Dante's Divine Comedy is a multi-layered epic, containing not only a story about his incredibly difficult journey from earth to the depths of hell then up to the peaks of heaven, but it also contains many insights on theology, politics, and even his own life. Broken into three canticles—Inferno, Purgatorio, and Paradiso—the work is written in the terza rima form. In Inferno—in 33 Cantos—Dante makes a vast journey through the nine circles of hell. In the Eighth Circle (specifically, the Ninth Pouch), Dante meets with those who "were, when alive, the sowers of dissension" (Inf.... [tags: Canto XXVIII Essays]
Canto 8 of Dante's Inferno Essay
- In recent discussions of Canto 8 of Dante's Inferno, many scholars have argued about Dante the pilgrim's controversial abuse of one of the wrathful sinners of the fifth circle, Filippo Argenti. The altercation between the two is viewed in numerous lights. From one perspective it is seen as unjustified (ira mala) because Dante is seen as guilty of the sin being punished for in this circle, but also because his response was wrongly motivated. Others state that Dante's anger was righteous (ira bona) because there was proper reasoning behind it.... [tags: Dante's Inferno Essays]
Francesca's Style in Canto V of Dante's Inferno Essay
- Francesca's Style in Canto V of Dante's Inferno Canto V of Dante's Inferno begins and ends with confession. The frightening image of Minos who «confesses» the damned sinners and then hurls them down to their eternal punishment contrasts with the almost familial image of Francesca and Dante, who confess to one another. In a real sense confession seems to be defective or inadequate in Hell. The huddled masses who declare their sins to Minos do so because they are compelled to declare or make manifest in speech the character of their offenses and although they confess everything (each soul «tutta si confessa», v....

Essay on Dante's Divine Comedy - Close Reading of Canto V of the Inferno
- Dante's Inferno: A Close Reading of Canto V Dante Alighieri presents a vivid and awakening view of the depths of Hell in the first book of his Divine Comedy, the Inferno. The reader is allowed to contemplate the state of his own soul as Dante "visits" and views the state of the souls of those eternally assigned to Hell's hallows. While any one of the cantos written in Inferno will offer an excellent description of the suffering and justice of hell, Canto V offers a poignant view of the assignment of punishment based on the committed sin....

Canto 18 of The Inferno by Dante Alighieri Essay
- Canto 18 of The Inferno by Dante Alighieri It was once said by Marcel Proust that "We do not receive wisdom, we must discover it for ourselves, after a journey through the wilderness which no one else can make for us, which no one can spare us…". This journey through the wild to discover wisdom is exactly what transpires in The Inferno by Dante Alighieri. The Inferno is an epic poem that is the first section of a three-part poem called The Divine Comedy. The Inferno is about the narrator, Dante, traveling through the layers of Hell and learning about the men and women in Hell, and ultimately why God is punishing them there....

Essay on Canto V of Dante's Inferno
- Canto V of Dante's Inferno In Dante's Inferno, part of The Divine Comedy, Canto V introduces the torments of Hell in the Second Circle. Here Minos tells the damned where they will spend eternity by wrapping his tail around himself. The Second Circle of Hell holds the lustful; those who sinned with the flesh. They are punished in the darkness by an unending tempest, which batters them with winds and rain. Hell is not only a geographical place, but also a representation of the potential for sin and evil within every individual human soul.... [tags: essays papers]
Divine Comedy - Dante and Virgil's Relationship in Canto XIV of Dante's Inferno
- Dante and Virgil's Relationship in Canto XIV of Dante's Inferno In Canto XIV of Dante's Inferno, Virgil describes the statue of the Old Man of Crete. Dante uses the Old Man of Crete as a metaphor for Virgil's legacy in order to elucidate the nature of Dante's and Virgil's relationship. In the beginning of the metaphor, Dante carefully and methodically illustrates the grandeur of the Greek empire and Roman civilization. "[Mount Ida] was once chosen," Virgil explains, "as a trusted cradle/ by Rhea for her son" (XIV.100-101).... [tags: Divine Comedy Inferno Essays]
Analysis of Dante's Inferno Essay example
- In Dante's Inferno, Dante is taken on a journey through hell. On this journey, Dane sees the many different forms of sins, and each with its own unique contrapasso, or counter-suffering. Each of these punishments reflects the sin of a person, usually offering some ironic way of suffering as a sort of revenge for breaking God's law. As Dante wrote this work and developed the contrapassos, he allows himself to play God, deciding who is in hell and why they are there. He uses this opportunity to strike at his foes, placing them in the bowels of hell, saying that they have nothing to look forward to but the agony of suffering and the separation from God....

Album Premiere: Black Pumas' Self-Titled Debut
photo by Merrick Ales
Austin-based group Black Pumas will release their self-titled debut studio album this Friday, June 21, and today we offer a sneak peek at the full LP.
The band—led by vocalist Eric Burton and Grammy-winning guitarist/producer Adrian Quesada, who met after a mutual friend turned Quesada onto Burton's impressive busking efforts in downtown Austin—craft soulful songs with timeless melodies and heavy influence from R&B and hip-hop.
"We just take to the same kind of music," Burton says of his relationship with Quesada. "I listen to East Coast hip-hop, old soul music, folk music. When Adrian sent me the songs, it was like I had already heard them before. We were on the same wavelength from the get-go."
"We didn't want to just do throwback soul and pretend that hip-hop never happened," Quesada adds. "It had to feel sincere coming from us. I have a certain aesthetic in the studio, and Eric has a voice that evokes a certain era, but I don't think we reference that too directly."
Listen to Black Pumas below. The band plays a hometown album-release show this Friday in Austin before kicking off a run of summer tour dates next week. See their full schedule here.

Ironically, eating disorders aren't about food at all. Rather, people with Binge Eating Disorder use food to feel in control and to cope with painful emotions such as anger, self-loathing, vulnerability and panic. Attempts to control weight with inappropriate use of laxatives, diuretics, diet pills (over the counter and prescription) all fuel a false sense of control and represent futile attempts to manage painful feelings that seem otherwise unmanageable.
Individuals suffering from Binge Eating Disorder focus on food and body weight as a way to attempt to take control of life. Developing eating habits based on moods and feelings are often serious signs that someone is suffering with an eating disorder.
Awakening's multidisciplinary treatment team works with each individual to assess all aspects of his or her eating disorder. Our treatment is research-informed and supported by an integrative system of neuropsychiatric care for the emotional, physical, and spiritual healing of individuals and families.
Clients benefit from our broad spectrum of complementary, evidenced –based services that address the eating disorders and simultaneously treat conditions such as depression, trauma, obsessive-compulsive anxiety, or addiction.
Effective help and resolution from the symptoms of Binge Eating Disorder is available. At Awakenings you can heal from the debilitating emotional and physical and spiritual pain as well as the patterns you may find repeating in your relationships and all aspects of your life.


NICHOLAS CARTER was the eldest son of ROGER and EMMA (RAYLES) CARTER of Helperby, County of York, England and was baptized in that place 4 June 1629. He died in Elizabethtown, N.J. in October or November 1681. He emigrated to New England and settled in Stamford, Ct. sometime prior to 1652. His identity and that of his parents is disclosed in the marriage register of his brother ROGER who, at his marriage, said he was the "son of ROGER CARTER, of Helperby, and (his wife) ELLEN CARTER, and (a) brother of NICHOLAS CARTER, now in New England." The Christian name of the wife of NICHOLAS is not known but she is believed to have been related to ROBERT WATSON of Windsor, Conn. WATSON came to this country as a young man from Holdeness, Yorkshire, England.
NICOLAS was in Stamford, Conn. for only a short time as he went across the sound to Middleburg, on Long Island, about 1652. On the 12 Apr. 1656 he, along with all the male residents of Middleburg (later called Newtown), was one of the purchasers of land from the Indians for a town site at Middleburg and was given twenty acres as his allotment. Each of the "purchasers", as they continued to be called, gave according to his possessions at the rate of a shilling per acre. NICHOLAS's name is on the list for one pound which was about the average. The name of the community was soon changed to Hastings after the historically famous town in Sussex, England where William the Conqueror was victorious in battle. Shortly later in time the name was changed again to Newtown after the addition of a lot of adjoining land. Throughout this period of time until 1665 NICHOLAS was repeatedly spoken of in the Newtown records as being one of the leading men of that place.
Some examples of court action that NICHOLAS CARTER was involved in are: "Medlborowgh Octob: 1659.... a corte helld by the magistrats of the above sayd Place:....Sameull Arnall Plantive enters anaction agaynst Nicklos Cartor defendant an action of the case....The corte finds for the plantive Sameull arnall and that sameull arnall shall alowe nicklos Cartor 5 grats in the pound for the selling of his salet and seuger and the chargis of the corte to be payd by neckles cartor and nicklos Cartor is to give a true account of the sayd goods acording to the qualitey of pay he reseaved for them; as the goods was sould:" Another example: " Januarie 18: 1665... An adbitration burger Joras & John Burrough. chosen by the Cunstable to end a diffence betwene Abraham ffrost on the one partie & nicolos Carter & Ralph hunt on the other partie where in they ware bound for Richard Smith of smithfield in the value of acow if Richard smith ware cawst or did not aperore we Burger Joras & John Burroughes find that Richard smith was cast therefore they are to pay five pound the value of acow & six shillings wch belong to the cunstable & awbitraters". Another example is: "May 8:1666 Newtown A court holden by the Cunstable & overseers of the place above said.... Richerd Smith plantive enters an action against Nicolos Carter defendant an action of the Case The court fines for the defendant the plantive shall pay twentie shillings damage to the defendant & pay the charge of the sute & the band to remaine in the hands of nicolos carter till the fore damage & charges is paied & then to acquit ech other". One last example from the same day and same court: "The deposision of John ffirman who saith Abram frost said to nicolos Carter if he wold returne the money he wold deliver him a live calf & nicolos Answered that he had ben...out as much but if he delivered him a calf as good as is was he desired but is owne...(a section crossed out)...& abram demanded the band & John ffirman said then there will not be an end of it & nicolos said he would have a full end before he parted with the band & ffurther sait not".
On January 22, 1657 he and some of his neighbors joined in a letter of protest to Governor PETER STUYVESANT against the action of the town in giving to the minister at Middleburg, Rev. JOHN MOORE, an absolute deed for the parsonage. The governor decided in favor of the protestors but in 1660 NICHOLAS and nine others complained that FRANCIS DOUGHTY, who had married the widow of the preacher, was preventing RICHARD MILLS, the school teacher and preacher at Middleburg, from having peaceable possession of the parsonage and the adjoining land. Governor STUYVESANT ordered DOUGHTY to refrain from any futher molestation of Mr. Mills. NICHOLAS was one of nineteen men who signed a petition to the Dutch government at New Amsterdam for some land, "beyond the Hills by the South Sea," with the privilege to settle a town, which eventually became the town of Jamaica. The Dutch authorities, on February 4, 1660, granted them permission: "To settle a plantation vppon, or about the place mentioned, uppon such conditions and freedoms as the inhabitants of our owne Nation in this province doe Enjoye, provyded that the petitioners and theyre asoiats (associates), for theyre own Safety & common good, doe Settle theyre howse Lots Soo close as the conveniency of the place and Generall order shall admitt."
Despite the fact that he joined the movement to help create the new town, NICHOLAS was still living in Middleburg when the Dutch Autorities at New Amsterdam, on July 3, 1662, notified the inhabitants of the town and all other "plantations" that: None of them shall remove or harvest any crop, such as corn, maize, tobacco, etc., before they have agreed about the tythes for the year with the Governour General and the Council, or their Commissioners, upon forfeiture of fifty gulders.
An agreement was reached and the village was required to pay a tenth for that year which was eighteen schepels (3 & 7/10 bushels equal a schepel). It was to consist of half wheat and half peas. Among the forty-five signers of the agreement was the name of "NICOLAS KARTER".
War broke out between the Netherlands and Great Britain and the Dutch authority at New Amsterdam was superseded by the British. NICHOLAS applied to the Connecticut Court at Hartford and was admitted as a freeman of Connecticut on May 12, 1664 along with nine fellow townsmen of Newtown. About two years later there was a movement toward the colonization of the Jersey shore and NICHOLAS apparently joined it. On reaching that place he was required to take the "oath of Al(l)eagance and Fidelity," at Elizabethtown on February 16, 1666, his signature being "NICOLAS CARTER". He apparently returned temporarily to Newtown as he was one of the over-seers of the town from March of 1666 to November 1666. He became a freeholder on March 4, 1666.
At this point there arrived in August 1665, ahead of the enterprising Aassociates" the ship PHILLIP from England with immigrants. Many of these were Frenchmen from the Island of Jersey. They were brought over by PHILLIP CARTERET who came armed with the charter, or constitution, known as the "concessions and Agreement", that was given him by the Lords-Proprietors before leaving England, establising a government for the province west of the Hudson River, and separating it from the control of Governor NICOLLS, of New York.
The settlement on the Jersey shore in Newark bay by the "Associates" under the NICOLLS' grant, and the coming of PHILLIP CARTERET did not lead to a serious misunderstanding, for they neither knew or expected to hear of the different grants. CARTERET presented his credentials and mutual explanations followed. NICOLL'S grant and the Indian deed were produced and examined. CARTERET'S authority from the Lords-Proprietors was examined. After much exchanging of views and understandings, CARTERET voluntarily was ready and willing to become an associate with them, "by carrying a hoe on his shoulder, thereby intimating his intention of becoming a planter with them."
In an examination of the names of the pioneers recorded as early as February 1666 in the second book of records we find NICHOLAS CARTER. It appears that very soon after their settlement various meetings were held for consultation and agreement in relation to the division, or allotment of the lands, and other regulations for the orderly transaction of the business of the town. Division of the town plot into lots convenient for the settlers was probably made at their first meeting. The choosing of a location for their homesite was probably determined by lot at this gathering.
Under the "concessions" of the proprietors of New Jersey, dated February 10, 1666, NICHOLAS had a right to three hundred and sixty acres, according to the re-survey of October 22, 1675, for bringing into the colony himself, his wife, a son and a maid servant. Evidently only one child had reached the age of fourteen by 1666. NICHOLAS'S house lot contained five acres, five by ten chains, bounded on the east and south by the highway, north by Elizabethtown Creek, and south by the land of WILLIAM HILL. This was his homestead of the south side of the creek and it indicates that he was evidently a man of considerable means.
The spirit of NICHOLAS was displayed shortly after taking up his residence in Elizabethtown. In May of 1671 Gov. PHILIP CARTERET caused much disaffection among the colonists by convening a special court to try WILLIAM HACKETT, captain of the Sloop "Indeavor, of Salsbery, in the Countey of Norfolk, in New England," for illegal trading in the province, mostly at Woodbridge. NICHOLAS was on the jury on the sixteenth of May. The claim of Governor LOVELACE of New York that all vessels coming in and going out of Sandy Hook enterance should enter and clear at New York, was counteracted by Governor CARTERET. He opposed it so far as it concerned the waters of New Jersey, demanding that, in order to trade in these parts, enterance and clearance should be made at the customs house in Elizabethtown. Capt. HACKETT had entered his vessel and paid duties at New York, but not here. He argued his own case with much ability and presented at least fourteen points as grounds of defence. The case went to the jury, which: "Went forth, & upon a second & third goeing forth, Declared to the Court that the matter Com(mi)tted to them (was) of too great waight for them, and Desire(d it) to make Choice of other Jurymen."
The colonists believed that the right to convene a court belonged to the General Assembly. The breach was made wider when the governor granted a lot to RICHARD MICHELL, who was one of the "menial servants" brought over by him in the ship PHILLIP, in 1665. The governor was well pleased with MICHELL'S course and was willing to reward his faithful services. He took it upon himself without consulting the town or any other than his own pleasure, to make him a grant of land for a house lot which was bordering on the "swamp in common." MICHELL fenced it in and leased a part of the ground to GEORGE PARK for a tobaco crop. On the other part, he built a house covered with clapboard, and laid out a garden. PARK subleased one half of his field to WILLIAM LETTS.
"June 19th, 1671, it was agreed by the Major Vote that Richard Michhel(l) should not enjoy his lot, given him by the Governeor. Upon information, June 19, 1671, It was agreed that there should some goe the next morning and pull up the said MICHEL(L)'S fence."
"The next morning after the said town meeting, the said RICHARD MICHEL(L) came to my house, and I went with him up to the said lot, and (on) going * we came to (the said) WM. LETT('S) house, and lighted our pipes, and when we lighted, * people came upon the said ground--Goodman MEAKER, the yooung JOHN OGDEN, JEFFERY JONES, and NICHOLAS CARTER, and we were running down to them at the corner of the said lot, (and) the said RICHARD MICHEL(L) forewarned them of pulling down the said fence, and spake to them of a riot, upon * (which), Goodman MEAKER put (his hand) to it and began (to) pluck down the fence, and then all the rest did the like and left not off till they had plucked down one side and one end."
The fence-pullers were arrested and had to appear in court on March 8, 1672 to hear the indictment and were asked --"Guilty or not guilty?." They made no response and left the court without putting in any plea at all. The governor was determined to support MICHELL, and fined the "rioters". WILLIAM MEAKER, being the leader, was fined five pounds, and the others, including NICHOLAS, three pounds each. The fines to be collected by distraint. The fines were never paid because the marshall was powerless to collect the fines in the presence of an outraged and indignant people.
During a war with Holland the Dutch repossessed New Netherland and three men of the town were elected "Schephens of Elizabeth Town," and by the order of their governor, they were deputized to administer the oath of allegiance on September 11, 1673, to the "States General" of Holland. "NICKLES CARTER", as his name reads in the record, and his son JOHN who was then of age,, were among those forced to take the solemn affirmation.
The Dutch reign was short-lived as they were driven out in the two year war that followed. When Governor CARTERET came back to resume his administration the old trouble was renewed. Because they lacked definate surveys of their ands, the people with great reluctance yielded to the compulsion put upon them by the governor, and without prejudice to their previous titles, consented to receive such as the governor chose to give them. As NICHOLAS had applied for a survey of his land a warrant was given him on October 22, 1675 for his three hundred and sixty acres.
Out of this, including his home lot, he seemed to have owned, twenty acres of upland on LUKE WATSON'S POINT and adjacent to the lands of EDWARD CASE and JACOB MELYN and forty acres of upland "in a swamp, lying at the (east) side of the blind Ridge," bounded partley by the lands of AARON THOMPSON and JACOB MELYN. He also owned seventy acres of upland next to the land of ROGER LAMBERT, of GEORGE PACK and the swamp; also one hundred and ninety-three acres of upland on the Mill Creek, bounded by the land of BARNABAS WINES, the plain, a small brook and the Mill Creek; also twenty-two acres of meadow, in the "Great Meadow," and eighteen acres on Thompson's creek. The total adds up to three hundred and sixty-eight acres.
On March 9, 1677 he bought of his neighbor JACOB MELYN, who was then of New York City, one hundred and one acres of land on the south neck. The MELYN deed was unrecorded. He sold part of the tract and house lot on March 16, 1677 to BENJAMINE WADE for thirty pounds with the sale price being payable in pipe staves. In a deed of May 18, 1681 NICHOLAS, who was recorded as yeoman, sold to SAMUEL WILSON, a New York merchant, a portion of the MELYN land.
From the land grants we find that NICHOLAS' property is mentioned as bordering other grants as follows: in the record of May 30, 1676 we find ROBERT MOSS with "six acres of meadow" land bounded on the northeast by NICHOLAS' land; another record dated August 2, 1676 we find ROGER LANBERT with "thirty acres of upland" bounded on the west by the common land and NICHOLAS' land, and still another dated April 24, 1677 gives EDWARD CASE with "one hundred acres" on LUKE WATSON'S Point bounded on the west by the land of NICHOLAS CARTER and CALEB CARWITHY.

ASCO Sounds Alarm on Declining Federally Funded Research
CHICAGO — Cancer experts and their patients are moving into a new era in the United States. The warning was sounded here at the 2014 Annual Meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology® (ASCO), where the society is celebrating its 50th meeting.
"Critically important, clinically relevant research" is starting to dry up for lack of federal funds, said ASCO president Clifford Hudis, MD.
"While our country has had a long-standing commitment to funding cancer research, this commitment appears to be diminishing," said Dr. Hudis, who is professor of medicine at Weill Cornell Medical College and chief of the Breast Cancer Medicine Service at the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, in New York City.
"In this, our 50th year of continued progress against cancer, it is pretty clear that the national clinical trial system that Americans and others around the world have come to depend on to advance clinical research does not exist as we know it," he said during a press briefing.
"At ASCO, we are already seeing a real — and we think disturbing — bit of evidence about the impact of the reduction in this federal support. The number of abstracts that received federal funding among those submitted to us has dropped fairly sharply over the past 7 years — from 575 studies in 2008 to 169 this year," he reported. "This is the predictable end result of a steady decline in federal support for clinical cancer research in the United States."
The press briefing showcased results from 4 of the top federally funded studies submitted to ASCO this year, which were conducted and funded in an era and by a government that was more committed to cancer research, he said.
"These studies are further testimony to the strides we are making to improve cancer care, and the results answer critical questions that people with cancer and their doctors face every single day. All 4 studies received funding from the National Institute of Health; this is a critically important point that may not be fully appreciated by everybody out there in broader society."
But new research proposals are unlikely to get the same share of federal dollars.
"As of 2014, the National Cancer Institute's cooperative system has evolved. It is now a streamlined, ostensibly more efficient, system. That's good, but it also seems to be much, much smaller," he noted.
The true value of federally funded studies is that they often venture into territory where industry is reluctant to tread, such as "competitive-effectiveness research, new indications for older generic drugs, and improvements in quality of life," Dr. Hudis explained. These are often studies that industry is less interested in performing."
"The question that we are facing now is who is going to plan, launch, and complete these kinds of trials into the future. The answer, honestly, remains to be seen,"he said.

David Wajsgras, president of Raytheon's intelligence, information and services business, has said many government contractors are suffering a similar shortage in cyber talent that agencies have, the Washington Post reported Sunday.
Wajsgras told the Post neither government nor industry are "collectively" attracting enough talent in the cyber field, Joe Davidson reports.
The Post cited a Government Accountability Office report that urged the Office of Personnel Management to identify skills gaps in cybersecurity after the OPM data breach.
GAO also recommended in the report that OPM schedule the collection of government staffing data and set the metrics for government workforce analyses, according to the report.

China's increasing integration in the global economy has raised the stakes for disputes between domestic and foreign firms. Due to differences in culture, business practices and legal systems, these disputes are often difficult, costly and time-consuming to resolve. The US-China Business Mediation Centre (UCBMC), which was established in January and trained its first group of mediators in early July, is poised to help grease the wheels of international business by facilitating the resolution of Sino-foreign commercial disputes in a cost- and time-effective way.
Discussions on the formation of the UCBMC began over a year ago, when representatives from the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade (CCPIT) contacted the Centre for Public Resources (CPR) Institute for Dispute Resolution, a US non-profit alliance of law firms and businesses, which specialises in various forms of alternate dispute resolution. With the fast growth in trade and investment between the US and China, the two parties saw an obvious need. Disputes accepted by the centre would be jointly mediated by Chinese and Western neutral parties and could help companies avoid the costs of litigation or arbitration. But in order to gain credibility- and attract clients- the centre will have to reconcile the differing conceptions of mediation and defuse the suspicions of bias that often cloud international dispute resolution.
Commercial mediation is gaining in popularity in the US and Europe. More and more, commercial contracts there now include clauses stipulating mediation as the dispute resolution mechanism of first resort, according to Tom Stipanowich, president and CEO of the CPR Institute. Mediation in the US successfully resolves disputes in more than 85% of the cases in which it is used, according to the CPR Institute.
Compared to other common forms of dispute resolution,such as litigation and binding arbitration,mediation is typically cheaper, faster and more flexible. Estimates on cost savings from mediation vary widely, however, as a litigated case can take anywhere from several days to more than a year to reach a conclusion. The CPR Institute surveyed 43 major companies on mediation in 2002, and many reported major cost savings from using mediation instead of litigation or arbitration to resolve disputes. The surveyed companies that provided specific figures said that mediation had saved them at least US$500,000, according to Mr Stipanowich. That survey did not specify how many disputes the companies were involved in, however, so it is not clear how much money was saved per dispute. The results of an American Bar Association survey of the US construction industry conducted in the mid-1990s, also cited by Mr Stipanowich, point to the time-savings of mediation: 90% of the disputes in which mediation was employed were resolved within six days.
The expediency of mediation can be largely attributed to its flexibility and informality. It avoids the often costly sequence of document exchanges and motions that is part of both litigation and arbitration. Mediation can also eliminate court fees which drive up the costs of arbitrating in a third country, which US and Chinese firms have done in the past (such as the recent case between the Shenzhen Development Bank and Newbridge Capital, which was arbitrated at the International Chamber of Commerce in Paris).
The flexibility of mediation also offers the possibility of dispute resolution that is more innovative than the simple monetary settlements that accompany many legal judgements of commercial disputes. For example, Mr Stipanowich notes that commercial disputes often arise from personal issues such as soured or mistrustful relationships, and mediation may allow the parties to mend fences or reconfigure their business relationship in an innovative way. And while the flexibility of mediation makes it potentially applicable in a wide range of disputes, it is often particularly useful in cases involving intellectual property rights infringement or complex construction projects, where small disputes arise frequently and need to be resolved quickly and cheaply, before they metastasise and derail the larger project.
The UCBMC was established to bring the benefits of mediation to disputes between Chinese and foreign companies (not only US firms, as its name may imply). The centre is initially being funded by the CPR Institute?s members, which include several large multinationals with sizeable China operations, such as GM, McDonald's and Siemens, according to Mr Stipanowich. The UCBMC is expected to be financially self-sustaining through the mediation fees that parties will pay the centre for its services, though the fee structure has not yet been finalised.
To generate that business, UCBMC's initial challenge will be to raise awareness about mediation. Despite the cost savings and flexible dispute resolution offered by mediation, the practice has not been widely used in China. The UCBMC attributes this to a lack of awareness of the benefits of mediation, particularly among Chinese firms, and suspicion of unilateral mediation: foreign firms would likely be hesitant to agree to mediation presided over by a Chinese Communist Party or Ministry of Commerce official, for instance. One participant in the first round of training, James Zimmerman, chief representative at law firm Squire Sanders & Dempsey in Beijing, is confident that the structure of the UCBMC will assuage similar concerns Chinese firms might have of foreign mediators. "With CCPIT support, I believe that Chinese companies will be more amenable to mediation in a forum that has ?foreign? elements," he says.
Pointing to demonstrable success stories, particularly early on, would go a long way towards achieving this publicity. (Though the UCBMC was credited in Chinese media with resolving its first dispute in March, that case was actually mediated by the CCPIT.) Successful mediation will depend largely on the US and Chinese mediators' abilities to instil confidence in their impartiality and bridge the gap in expectations of what mediation can offer, according to Patrick Norton, managing partner of O'Melveny & Myers' Beijing office, who took part in the recent training. When the UCBMC trained its first 26 mediators ?13 from China and 13 from the US and the UK- in early July, the training sessions focused on cultural and business differences between the US and China and on the different expectations that each side has for the mediation process.
Conciliation is a deeply embedded element of conflict resolution in Chinese culture, but Chinese firms see the mediator's role much differently than their western counterparts, Mr Stipanowich says. Chinese participants expect the mediator to take an authoritative, almost judicial, role in mediation proceedings, according to Mr Norton, while Western mediators see their primarily role as a facilitator of discussion, helping the parties reach a solution on their own and proposing solutions only when the parties request them. While mediations in the US and Europe typically have one person mediating the dispute, UCBMC cases will usually feature two-one Chinese and one Western- to help mitigate these differences and preserve a sense of impartiality.
As with mediation elsewhere, some parties will be concerned about the enforceability of the resolution. Mr Norton suggests that this concern might partially be addressed by putting the resolution into the form of an award, which can then be taken to the China International Economic and Trade Arbitration Commission (CIETAC), which can put the decision into the form of an arbitration award that would be legally enforceable, though this procedure has yet to be tested.
Mr Stipanowich is confident that the collaboration of CPR and CCPIT through the centre could produce "a third way" of dispute resolution that combines elements of Western and Chinese standards. As Chinese and foreign firms become increasingly entangled, firms will become more aware of the costs and dangers of litigation and arbitration. As that occurs, UCBMC could play a substantial role in facilitating dispute resolution and saving legal expenses for companies doing business in China.

Woman attacked for wearing bikini
It's a case of double-speak gone mad.
On Wednesday lunchtime, at the Léo-Lagrange Park near the town centre of Reims, France, a 21-year old woman was sunbathing with two of her friends, dressed in a bikini. This is perfectly normal and if you visit any park in France in summer, especially a hot one like this, you will see plenty of women wearing swimsuits getting a tan. It's a French passion.
However, the woman, whose name has not been disclosed, was spotted by a 'group of five girls'. One of the came over and told her to 'Get dressed, it's not summer.'
The sunbather replied that the newcomer was not 'the religious police' and at that point all five of the girls attacked the woman, requiring her to be hospitalised. She was signed off work for four days.
All five of the attackers were detained. The three oldest, aged 18, 19 and 24, will appear before the court on September 24 to answer charges. The two others are minors and will be dealt with by the French juvenile correction system.
The names of the aggressors had not been released, at time of writing. The name of the victim has also not been publicised.*
The city authorities have been very coy about discussing whether this was a race or religiously based attack, again, likely due to French criminal law.
However, there is other evidence. A French organisation called SOS Racisme organised a mass protest at the park in question for noon today, of people dressed in swimming costumes. If this could not be seen as a racist attack, why would this organisation be involved? And note: they were not trying to defuse anti-Muslim sentiment, but to express solidarity with the victim.
On Twitter, the deputy Mayor of Reims, Arnaud Robinet, described the assault as 'intolerable in our country' although he was later to state, in an interview on TF1, that there was 'no proof of a religious motive for the attack.' Why would he bother to say that if there were no reason to assume that it might be?
The French Twittosphere in general has been alive with allegations of a religious background to the attack while everyone official is, as usual, standing with their hands behind their backs whistling.
The newspaper that reported the attack, l'Union, checked and verified that anyone can walk down the high street in a bikini without breaking the law, unless a local bye-law prevents it. The city authorities in Reims confirmed that no such local ordinance was in place, so the victim of the attack was behaving legally, dressed in a manner that she had a perfect right to be. Are we to imagine that she was attacked by a group of militant nuns? Or a stray pack of radical feminists? Don't be silly.
The nonsense of attempting to keep the religious or cultural background of the attackers secret is a joke. As soon as they have appeared in court, their names will be revealed and their religious affiliation quickly inferred anyway. Presumably the authorities hope that by then, everyone will have forgotten.
But that is not good enough. France is a secular state and if people of particular religious persuasions are acting outside the law in promoting the ideas of these religions, then that should be exposed and challenged publicly. It's not as if this would be the first time Muslims had behaved in an unacceptable manner, especially in Reims and the surrounding areas.
If indeed the attackers are Muslims — and let's not kid ourselves here, if there were no possibility of that, this would have been made known; the official coyness is proof enough — then very firm action needs to be taken, by the authorities, to stamp out the culture that is promoting violence. If that means closing mosques and other places where this poison is being disseminated, better sooner than later.
It's curious though, that only yesterday I was writing about how Muslims need to understand and accept the principle of secularism and here they are, it would appear, doing the exact opposite.
There is no doubt that many shadows are looming large over Europe today. One of them just got bigger. Every time things like this happen, moderates are squeezed between religious fascism and common or garden fascism from the extreme right. Europe is in trouble, and its leaders do nothing.

Q: asp.net - images are not shoing in sent email where the body of email is a web page having graph images Does anybody know how to get around to following problem.......
i am trying to get a web request in asp.net for a web page which
dynamically generate line and pie chart as per user and then
sending that web page as email body. but i could succeed only partially
in it. I checked that sent email but it was not showing those
graphs i was expecting to be there. i tried all possibilities for
doing this thing work.
this might be due to those graph images not having any link back
to those graphs generated dynamically at that instance.

A: It sounds like your fetching an Image which is required to be logged in for (ie logged in as the user for it to be dynamically generated).
I would suggest if your sending this as a email you first download the image, then do one of a few things

*

*Attahch it to the email (convert it to a png/jpg) then mime encode it and attach it

*Convert your "report" to a PDF and attach the PDF to the email.

*Host your image internally using a unique url ie /graph/{MY-GUID} but then you'd need to store a lot of static images.

This would send over hard copies of the dynamic images rather than relying on the links being generated.

A: I suggest you embed those graphs in the email itself.
It works by attaching the images as regular mail attachments and setting the image source like:
<img src=cid:yourImage/>

This codeproject example on embedding images in email should guide you through it.

West Nile Virus (WNV) is a mosquito-borne virus that was first detected in the United States in 1999. It is not known how the WNV was introduced into the United States but it may have entered in an infected traveler, bird, or mosquito. WNV has been present in Africa, West and Central Asia, and the Middle East for a long time. The majority of people and animals that are infected with WNV have no symptoms or only a mild illness. In rare cases, WNV can cause more serious conditions such as encephalitis (an inflammation of the brain) and/or meningitis (an inflammation of the linings of the brain and spinal cord).
How do mosquitoes become infected with West Nile Virus?
Mosquitoes become infected with WNV when they feed on birds that are infected with WNV. After a few days, infected mosquitoes can then transmit WNV to other birds, humans and horses. Only certain species of mosquitoes carry the virus and usually only a small percentage of mosquitoes are actually infective.
How do people become infected with West Nile Virus?
- Infected Mosquitoes. Most often, WNV is spread by the bite of an infected mosquito. Mosquitoes become infected when they feed on infected birds. Infected mosquitoes can then spread WNV to humans and other animals when they bite.
- Transfusions, Transplants, and Mother-to-Child. In a very small number of cases, WNV also has been spread through blood transfusions, organ transplants, breastfeeding and even during pregnancy from mother to baby.
- Not through touching. WNV is not spread through casual contact such as touching or kissing a person with the virus.
Encephalitis is an inflammation of the brain. In rare cases, WNV can cause encephalitis.
Signs and symptoms might include high fever, headache, confusion, disorientation, seizures, muscle weakness, and coma.
Who is at risk of getting sick from West Nile Virus?
- People over 50 at higher risk to get severe illness. People over the age of 50 are more likely to develop serious symptoms of WNV if they do get sick and should take special care to avoid mosquito bites.
- Being outside means you're at risk. The more time you're outdoors, the more time you could be bitten by an infected mosquito. Pay attention to avoiding mosquito bites if you spend a lot of time outside, either working or playing.
- Risk through medical procedures is very low. All donated blood is checked for WNV before being used. The risk of getting WNV through blood transfusions and organ transplants is very small, and should not prevent people who need surgery from having it. If you have concerns, talk to your doctor.
- Serious Symptoms in a Few People. About one in 150 people infected with WNV will develop severe illness. The severe symptoms can include high fever, headache, neck stiffness, stupor, disorientation, coma, tremors, convulsions, muscle weakness, vision loss, numbness and paralysis. These symptoms may last several weeks, and neurological effects may be permanent.
- Milder Symptoms in Some People. Up to 20 percent of the people who become infected have symptoms such as fever, headache, and body aches, nausea, vomiting, and sometimes swollen lymph glands or a skin rash on the chest, stomach and back. Symptoms can last for as short as a few days, though even healthy people have become sick for several weeks.
- No Symptoms in Most People. Approximately 80 percent of people (about 4 out of 5) who are infected with WNV will not show any symptoms at all.
There is no specific treatment for WNV infection. As with other viral illnesses, supportive care and symptomatic therapy are given.
Is there a vaccine to prevent West Nile Virus infection?
There is no vaccine currently available to protect people against West Nile virus infection. However, research is underway to develop a vaccine for people. There is a vaccine available for horses.
No. Even in areas where mosquitoes and birds are known to carry WNV, only a small percentage of mosquitoes are infected. The majority of people will not experience any symptoms if an infected mosquito bites them. Small percentages of people develop mild symptoms and recover without specific medication or laboratory testing. Those over age 50 are more likely to develop severe symptoms requiring medical care. Contact your health care provider if you are concerned about WNV infection.
What time of year are mosquito-borne viruses spread?
In Arizona, mosquito-borne viruses are most likely to be spread from May through October during the peak of mosquito activity.
How can I help protect myself and my family from West Nile Virus?
- Eliminate standing water where mosquitoes can breed. Check for items outside the home that collect rain or sprinkler water, such as cans, bottles, jars, buckets, old tires, drums and other containers.
- Change water in flower vases, birdbaths, planters and animal watering pans at least twice a week.
- Repair leaky pipes and outside faucets, and move air conditioner drain hoses frequently.
Avoid being bitten by mosquitoes when going outside at night by using insect repellent. Wear lightweight clothing that covers the arms and legs.
- The easiest and best way to avoid WNV is to prevent mosquito bites. When you are outdoors, use insect repellent containing an EPA-registered active ingredient. Follow the directions on the package. Many mosquitoes are most active at dusk and dawn. Be sure to use insect repellent and wear long sleeves and pants at these times or consider staying indoors during these hours.
Which animals can get infected with West Nile Virus?
WNV infection has been reported in more than 150 bird species. Certain types of birds such as crows, ravens and jays appear to be most susceptible to WNV infection. Horses are also susceptible to WNV infection but a vaccine is available through veterinarians. WNV infections affecting the nervous system have also been reported in squirrels, goats and sheep, but the susceptibility of these animals to WNV is not well known. WNV illness in dogs and cats is rare. Contact your veterinarian for information about pets and livestock.
If you find a dead bird, you should contact your county environmental health department for more information. A program has been established to test dead birds reported in Arizona. However, not all dead birds can be tested for WNV. To be tested, the dead bird should be relatively fresh, not scavenged or decomposed, and with little or no odor. Also, testing is not being offered for baby birds or pigeons. Always wear gloves when handling dead birds. Refrigerate the dead bird until it is submitted for testing (but Do Not Freeze it!).
Can a person get West Nile Virus infection by eating infected birds?
Proper cooking kills WNV. Consequently, there is no danger associated with eating birds that have been properly cooked. Hunters are encouraged to wear gloves whenever field dressing game, including birds.
What is Arizona doing to prepare for West Nile Virus?
County and state health workers monitor and test mosquitoes at selected sites, dead birds and sentinel chicken flocks (17) for mosquito-borne viruses. Mosquito surveillance involves trapping mosquitoes, counting them, identifying the species involved, and testing the appropriate species for viruses. These surveillance methods are used to better identify areas where mosquito control efforts are needed. Detection and control of mosquito breeding sites depends upon integrated efforts among state, county, and tribal agencies as well as private citizens.
Call Yuma County Public Health Services at the number below for additional information. Visit the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's West Nile Virus Information. You can also visit the Arizona Department of Health Service's West Nile Virus Information.

Q: Finite dim of $l(D)$ Suppose $X$ is a proper normal noehterian scheme, I want to show dim of $L=L(D)=\{f|\operatorname{div}(f)+D>0\}$ is finite. I am not sure if my proof is right?
Write $D=\sum n_iP^i-m_jQ^j$ where $m,n$ s are positive integers and $P,Q$ s are prime divisors.
We choose an element $g$ in $L$ which has the smallest order at $P_i$, each element of $L$ can be written as $\operatorname{div}(g)+\operatorname{div}(h)$ where $h$ has smaller pole at $P_i$, after at most $\sum n_i$ steps we arrive at a global regular function which is constant, thus $l(D)\leq \sum n_i+1$.
I don't know if I missed something above? because Mumford wrote very long to prove the finite dimensionality of $l(D)$, (in his Algebraic Geometry I Complex Projective Varieties P102-103).
As Matt's answer below, there's something wrong. I am thinking where I had made the mistake. Any comments are welcome.

A: Let $X$ be $\mathbb P^2$, and let $D$ be a smooth irreducible curve of degree $d$.  Then there is just one $P^i$, no $Q^j$'s, and $n_i = 1$.  Your argument would then suggest that $l(D) \leq 2$.  But in fact $l(D) = (d+2)(d+1)/2.$
So your argument is wrong.  Maybe if you think about how your argument goes for
these concrete examples of plane curves, you can find the mistake and come to a better understanding of the situation.


From organizing moving boxes by room (makes for some mega-efficient unpacking) to hiring professionals to give you a hand, here are simple ways to save time and effort.
Need to hire movers? Here are 11 tips on finding and hiring a reputable company.
Buy moving box labels. Make prep for your big move easier (and avoid writer's cramp) by spending a few dollars on pre-printed, color-coded stickers that can be used to note the designated room for each box. Your moving company may even provide these — and packing supplies — at a discount.
Plan ahead and make a checklist! There is a lot you can do in advance to prepare for your move, making the big day less stressful.
Call utilities to cancel, transfer or set up new services: electric, cable/satellite, internet and landline phone, cell phone and more.
Inform businesses, including your bank, credit card companies, insurance company, gym and pharmacy of your move, and update monthly memberships, such as Netflix and magazine subscriptions.
Notify government offices, including the Department of Motor Vehicles, Social Security Administration, and State/Federal Tax Bureau.
Your landlord's insurance covers the building, but not your belongings. If you rent, your personal property, such as furniture, electronics, small appliances and clothing, is covered in the event they are stolen or damaged as the result of fire, vandalism and other covered losses.
Renters insurance not only protects your possessions, it also covers temporary living expenses should you need to relocate due to a covered loss. And the coverage follows you and your belongings wherever you go.
A renter's policy also provides personal liability protection in the event you are sued because someone was injured on your property, or if you cause damage to someone else's property.
Renters insurance is affordable. The average policy costs between $5–$15 per month, depending on your coverage limits and deductible.
Once you're moved in, get to know your neighborhood! Look for deals on Groupon.com and discover things to do nearby, including shows, concerts, shopping, spa deals, and more. Or try local restaurants at a discount by purchasing a $25 Restaurant.com gift certificate for only $10. Finally, volunteering in your new community is another quick and easy way to get to know people.
Did you decide to buy your first home? Congratulations! Your lender most likely will require you to have home insurance coverage to protect your home in case of damage cause by unforeseen circumstances, such as fires or natural disasters.
If you purchased a condominium, you'll want to purchase a specialized condo insurance policy.
Bundle your NJM renters or homeowners policy with your car insurance and save!

How do you test if an egg is bad?
Which came first chicken or the egg?
Why are eggs called Googs?

Is egg a meat?
In the United States, fresh, commercially produced eggs need to be refrigerated to minimize your risk of food poisoning.
However, in many countries in Europe and around the world, it's fine to keep eggs at room temperature for a few weeks.
If you're still unsure, refrigeration is the safest way to go..
Summary. When eggs spoil, they begin to smell bad, and the yolk and egg white may become discolored. … The main risk of eating bad eggs is Salmonella infection, which can cause diarrhea, vomiting, and fever.
Look for any pink, blue, green or black discoloration in the yolk or whites, as this may indicate bacterial growth (3, 4). If you notice any signs of discoloration, throw the egg out and wash the bowl with hot, soapy water before testing a new egg. You can also check to see if the whites or yolk of the egg are runny.
If the eggs sink to the bottom and lay flat on their side, they're still fresh. However, if they sink, but stand on one end at the bottom of the glass or bowl, they're not as fresh but still edible. Of course, if any eggs float to the top, they shouldn't be eaten.
So in a nutshell (or an eggshell, if you like), two birds that weren't really chickens created a chicken egg, and hence, we have an answer: The egg came first, and then it hatched a chicken.
When I was a child, we called eggs 'googie eggs'. According to the Australian National University, the term comes from the Scottish 'goggie' which is a child's word for egg.
: Where does the saying 'As sure as eggs is eggs' come from? This is from James Briggs' Bedtime Browser; As sure as eggs is eggs is used to describe a certainty but,again,why eggs? This is another possible adulteration, this time eggs is really "X" and the saying should be As sure as X is X.
A goose egg is essentially just a bruise on the forehead. These bumps often turn black and blue after a day or two. When the tiny blood vessels under the skin are injured, blood leaks out into the surrounding tissue, causing the swelling that forms a bump or knot on the head.
Yes, you can probably eat those expired eggs and never look back. If refrigerated, eggs typically stay safe well after their expiration date. Regardless of what that date actually is, the optimal storage time for raw eggs in their shells, according to the USDA, is 3 to 5 weeks.
Calling someone a bad egg is a mild, old-fashioned way to say he's a jerk. The school bully is a good example of a bad egg. A bad egg is not a nice person — she's as unpleasant and disappointing as a literal bad, or spoiled, egg would be when you cracked it open.
But to point out that someone is an "egg" on Twitter is an insult, an essential part of the social networking site's local dialect. … Obviously, there's the English idiom of a "bad egg" and the term "egghead," an insulting way to refer to a brainy person.
Sperm is the male reproductive cell, or gamete, in anisogamous forms of sexual reproduction (forms in which there is a larger, "female" reproductive cell and a smaller, "male" one).
When handled and stored properly, hard-boiled eggs stay fresh for about 1 week. Hard-boiled eggs should be stored on an inside shelf of your fridge, and cooled within 2 hours of cooking. For the best quality, store them unpeeled and inside an egg carton or air-tight container.
Good egg is a friendly, old-fashioned way to talk about a good guy or a kind person. When you call your next door neighbor a good egg, it's clear that you're fond of her. The expression originally came from its opposite, bad egg, British public school slang from the 1800's for someone who was not nice.
According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, dairy refers to "all fluid milk products and foods made from milk." This includes milk, yogurt, cheese, ice cream, and butter. Eggs are not included. They belong in the meat, poultry, fish, and eggs category, and are considered animal products.

Куре () — атолл в северной части Гавайских островов. Является частью штата Гавайи (США). Гавайское название — Мокупапапа (Mokupāpapa), в переводе с гавайского языка — «Океан». На Куре отсутствует постоянное население, доступ на остров ограничен.

На Куре расположена станция LORAN.

География
Атолл Куре расположен почти в 2000 км от Гонолулу, в 80 км от ближайшего атолла Мидуэй и в 150 км от Линии перемены даты.

Куре — самый северный атолл в мире. Диаметр острова составляет около 9 км, длина окружности — 25 км. Включает в себя несколько островков (моту). Крупнейший из них — остров Грин (), площадь которого составляет 0,78 км², в то время как площадь всего атолла — 0,86 км². В центре Куре расположена лагуна, соединённая с океаническими водами несколькими проходами, через которые могут проплывать небольшие корабли. Атолл окружён коралловым рифом.

Атолл является птичьим заповедником и частью морского заповедника. На Куре обитает большое количество тюленей-монахов.

История
Атолл Куре был открыт русским путешественником М. Н. Станюковичем в 1820 году. В 1823 году остров повторно открыл капитан Бенджамин Моррелл.
