Before you start writing, we suggest preparing for it. You should determine the idea of your essay. Argumentative essays are aimed to provide readers with arguments about a certain issue. Most often, such essays analyze books or movies, but you may also be asked to consider a certain idea or issue. We suggest dividing your topic into parts, providing arguments for each particular part.
After you've chosen a topic, take your time and brainstorm. You have to determine your thesis statement, because it's the basis of the entire essay. First of all, focus on ideas, metaphors, and phrases that repeat most often. Obviously, they are crucial for your understanding of the subject. After that, analyze author's methods – how the author develops the topic, which logical transitions are made to create a certain effect or to make a certain conclusion. If you're writing about a film, consider visuals and imagery. In case you're working on some research, focus on methodology and results. Estimate the whole design of the experiment.To plan your further work, write your central idea on the sheet of paper, and then arrange all the smaller ideas, noting logical connections.
Write your thesis statement. It can be a couple sentences long. This idea must summarize all your claims and arguments. Don't make your thesis too obvious or broad. You have to present a specific thought that will reflect a particular feature of the discussed issue.
Your thesis must be arguable, because an analytical essay requires you to pick a side and support your point with arguments.
Don't forget that essays are a relatively short type of papers, so your topic must fit it. Don't choose too broad subjects because you won't have enough space to discuss it in details.
We suggest not using the so-called "three-prong" method, which implies writing a brief representation of three points that will be discussed further. Such an approach limits you and complicates the process of writing your arguments. Just try to formulate your main point regarding the considered issue, and let it be clear and concise.
Determine your evidence that proves your point. You can use either primary or secondary sources. Check your assignment and clarify which sources are preferable. Your evidence must be persuasive and directly related to your thesis statement.
Now, when you determined your argument, write an outline. It will simplify writing of your analytical essay a lot. Check the required number of words and plan the structure of your essay. Five-paragraph essays are the most common task, though some teachers prefer longer essays with more detailed analysis. While writing an outline, sort your thoughts by groups and plan the structure of your paragraphs.
Start with the introduction. It must provide your readers with the necessary background information on the considered issue. It must motivate your readers to read more, but don't make it too dramatic. We suggest not starting the introduction with an exclamation or question. You also should avoid writing from the first or second person in analytical essays. Write your thesis statement in the middle or at the end of your introduction, and move right to the body part.
Think where it's better to use or avoid quoting or paraphrasing. Direct quotes must be written in quotation marks, according to a certain citation style. You can ask your teacher to clarify which style (Chicago, MLA, or APA) is required. Paraphrasing means summarizing certain ideas and information from the source, using your words. Sometimes such an approach allows you to tell more details using less space. Support all controversial thoughts with quotes, and make sure that they take no more than two sentences of each paragraph (the rule of thumb).
Read your essay a couple times and fix all grammar and spelling mistakes. Make sure that you follow the necessary format (spaces, commas, titles, quotes). Don't be afraid to ask somebody for help or order professional proofreading.


Air pollution is known to cause damage to health, but did you know that it damages health on a cellular level? A study published in the journal Nature Communications showed that chemicals found in car exhaust fumes and cigarette smoke interrupt genetic factors that make cilia, which are the brush-like structures that keep mucus, dirt, and bacteria out of the lungs. Breathing in air pollution changes the way a protein called aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) functions. This molecular distraction could, in turn, cause respiratory problems.
The study highlighted the importance of AhR in keeping airways healthy. AhR is active in cells that line the human airway and lungs and is crucial for cilia formation. Earlier animal studies have suggested that breathing in air pollutants make it more difficult for AhR to function properly, particularly in forming new cilia.
Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute (Crick) in London aimed to determine how AhR works and what impact pollutants have. To do this, they grew airway cells from mice and skin cells from frogs in the laboratory. The cilia both in frog skin and mouse airway cells move almost similarly like the cilia in cells in the human throat and lungs.
When the researchers exposed these animal cells to common pollutants, fewer cilia were formed. This is because the AhR responded to pollutants by trying to detox the environment instead of making new cilia. It has been known that missing cilia can lead to respiratory disease.
"When chemicals found in car exhaust fumes and cigarette smoke activate AhR it kick starts a chain reaction that diverts attention away from forming new cilia. Instead, AhR tries to start a detox programme," explained Dr. Brigitta Stockinger, one of the leaders of the study at Crick.
The findings of the study suggest that breathing in air pollutants, such as car exhaust fumes and cigarette smoke, can lead to fewer cilia and eventually breathing problems. Having fewer cilia indicates that less mucus can be cleared out, increasing the risk of infections and breathing problems.
A review published in the journal Respirology provided information on giải thích tỷ lệ cá cược bóng đáthe impact of pollution and respiratory health as proposed in clinical reports. In the review, the researchers found that ozone (O3) and particulate matter (PM) may trigger asthma symptoms or result in premature death, especially in older people with pre-existing respiratory or cardiovascular disease. In addition, pollutants increase the release of allergenic pollen grains, leading to a higher prevalence of pollen-induced asthma.
The review also discussed strategies for reducing air pollution, which included urban planning, technological developments, and the introduction of new laws by the government. If both black carbon and O3 levels were reduced, more than three million premature deaths would be prevented and crop yields would be increased by nearly 50 million tonnes every year. Improving cooking stoves would reduce the use for firewood and reduce deforestation, while reducing air pollution levels in heavy traffic areas would significantly reduce the prevalence of asthma and other respiratory diseases. Efforts to reduce air pollution will prevent further damages to the environment, but will not reverse existing damages.
A number of studies also reported that people with low antioxidant levels may take dietary supplements to reduce their susceptibility to air pollution. This suggested that dietary supplements could be a way to neutralize the effects of pollutants on health.

"Workers have begun removing spires of Cinderella Castle at Magic Kingdom ahead of Hurricane Dorian."
— Facebook posts on Thursday, August 29th, 2019 in a Facebook post
Disney World did not deconstruct Cinderella Castle to prepare for Hurricane Dorian
By Daniel Funke on Wednesday, September 4th, 2019 at 3:18 p.m.
In preparation for Hurricane Dorian, some social media users are sharing posts that claim Disney World is deconstructing Cinderella Castle. But that's a fairy tale.
One image published Aug. 29 on Facebook purports to show cranes removing a spire from the castle, an iconic site at Disney's Magic Kingdom in Orlando, Fla.
"BREAKING: Workers have begun removing spires of Cinderella Castle at Magic Kingdom ahead of Hurricane Dorian," reads the photo's caption.
The post was flagged as part of Facebook's efforts to combat false news and misinformation on its News Feed. (Read more about our partnership with Facebook.) And it's been shared hundreds of times by several users, so we wanted to check it out.
Turns out, it's just another iteration of a long-running hoax about Florida hurricanes.
RELATED: Hurricanes and tropical storms lead to flood of misinformation
Snopes debunked it in October 2017. In its fact-check, Snopes wrote that rumors claiming Cinderella Castle can be partially or fully deconstructed during hurricanes go back as far as 1997, when the Chicago Tribune wrote about them as one of "25 Secrets of the Magic Kingdom."
"According to imagineers involved in its construction, Cinderella Castle was built to code to withstand hurricane-force winds and can in no way be disassembled," the newspaper wrote at the time, without naming any sources.
In a Sept. 4 email to PolitiFact, Disney World said it was not dismantling the castle in preparation for Dorian.
As for the photo we found on Facebook, there's evidence that it was digitally altered to make it look like a castle spire is being removed by a crane.
Using a reverse image search, we found the exact same photo of Cinderella Castle published on Twitter in the lead-up to Hurricane Michael last year. We also found a very similar image published in a blog post in 2009 — but with the spire intact. The crane in the photo was reportedly being used to remove holiday lights.
(Right, image from the blog DIS Unplugged. Left, the altered version.)
Using FotoForensics, a visual analysis tool, we were able to isolate the manipulation. The tool results indicate that someone cloned part of the blue sky and placed it over part of the castle spire on the left-hand side. The right-hand spire appears to have been removed altogether.
The Facebook post is not accurate. We rate it False.

Giorgio BarberioCorsetti has always experimented with new technology applied to on-stage representation, and this year he is back at the Romaeuropa Festival to portray a Europe suspended between a glorious history and today's economic, cultural and social transformations.
If his show, Il ratto di Europa, succeeds in acting like a time machine, it is thanks to the GARR network, the national ultra-broadband network dedicated to universities and research sponsored by the Minsitry of Education, Universities and Research (MIUR), which connects hundreds of science and culture hubs at the speed of light. This fibre optics network, which relies on the most advanced technological instruments, will be used by BarberioCorsetti to virtually connect exceptional sites in an experiment that will allow him to fragment the space on stage and unite distant locations in a single, digitally augmented representation. The audience will be hosted in the AulaOttagonale at the Baths of Diocletian and at Palazzo Altemps, which will interact through two large video screens. This is where Europe lives, interpreted by MaddalenaCrippa, responsible for sorting the direct and delayed connections with the Colosseum, CryptaBalbi and the INFN laboratories in Frascati, all places which will be inhabited by symbolic figures.
As the director explains, time: "Inhabits the ring of DA?NE (Double Annular ? Factory for Nice Experiments), the particle accelerator, and the vortex of material in movement connects the most advanced research with the origins of the universe, using scientific and mythical language together in the sequence of eras created and destroyed".
Texts by Seneca, Bhagavadg?t? and Alex Barchiesi will be used along with his own to narrate our present day scenario of migration, banks, market collapse, art in the time of ISIS, and the Ego in the time of the internet. When the possibility of being "everywhere all the time" and the schizophrenic use of masses of information cancel the world and its history in an eternal present.

Karzai welcomes HIA's participation in peace process
AT-KABUL: The former president Hamid Karzai on Thursday met with representatives of the Hezb-i-Islami Afghanistan (HIA) at his residence and welcomed the HIA's decision to become part of the peace process. The delegation arrived in Kabul in late March to negotiate a peace deal with the government.
The HIA's representatives Muhammad Amin Karim and Attiqullah Safi, and Secretary of the High Peace Council, Muhammad Ayub Rafiqi, called on Karzai today. The ex-president and the delegates discussed participation of the HIA in the peace process.
Karzai welcomed the HIA's decision to participate in the reconciliation process and hoped that Hezb-i-Islami's participation in the process would bring peace and stability to Afghanistan.
Hamid Karzai once again urged the Taliban to renounce violence and join the peace process to bring durable stability to the country.

If you're a loser like me who isn't going to Coachella this weekend, then I've got just what you need: Athleisure! If you haven't heard the term, athleisure is a style of clothing that is suitable for working out or daily life. It's well made, fitted and extremely comfortable. So many people were finding themselves able to dress more casually in their day to day lives that they didn't want to have dress separately for errands and the gym, therefore brands started pushing casual wear that was structured and stylish.
I do a lot of work from home, so staying comfortable while also not feeling sloppy is hugely important. I love this style of clothes because if something pops up and I have to run out the door I'm not going to be embarrassed by some oversized sweatpants or a bleach stained t shirt. Also having the freedom to jump around and play with my dogs at any given moment is pretty great.
2(x)ist is a brand that offers all kinds of great underwear and basics. They use quality materials in fashion forward designs to create a product unlike a lot of other companies. If you are looking for the best athletic underwear for men this is the ideal brand for you. Recently, they've released a full line of men's and women's athleisure wear and it's pretty fantastic. Fitted sweats, sweat shorts, cozy tops and much more. Check out the full new line from this stylish clothing manufacturers and grab yourself something to wear while you're picking out those new curtains (fun). And never forget about the tips from shoe adviser.
I'm Parker York Smith, a curious dude still very much figuring everything out. I hail from the Midwest but have been dwelling in Los Angeles for the last few years being a pretty stereotypical west coast transplant. I'm a fashion geek, I love to walk (a LOT) and I do my best to find the bright side. I'm extremely excited about this blog and hope that (with some hard work and luck) it turns into what I believe it can. If you have any questions, comments or concerns, please get in touch with me via my social networks (which can be found in the sidebar) or email me at parker@thelooksmith.com.

TriStar Pictures will release the film, which features the voices of Dwayne Johnson and Jessica Biel, on Nov. 20, 2009.
Alien adventure comedy centers on an astronaut who lands on Planet 51 thinking he's the first to set foot on it. To his surprise, he discovers it's inhabited by little green people who live in a white picket-fenced world reminiscent of 1950s America. Film is produced by Ilion Animation Studios.
Justin Long, Seann William Scott, Gary Oldman and John Cleese round out the voice cast.
New Line previously bought domestic distribution rights for the $50 million plus-budgeted film and had touted it as it as its first-ever CG-animated feature. After New Line was folded into Warner Bros. in February, "Planet 51" became the domain of Warners and was set to be released by the studio in summer 2009.
Sources said Warner decided to let the pic go after the producers insisted on a November release, when Warner is releasing its sixth Harry Potter pic.
Ignacio Perez Dolset and Guy Collins are producing "Planet 51." Peter Graves, Michael Ryan and Jose Rodriguez exec produce.
HandMade Films International is handling worldwide sales on the film. A "Planet 51" videogame is being developed by Ilion.


A surprising number of actresses have worn pretty authentic-looking fake dental braces for movie roles: good for a cheap laugh.
Many other actresses have worn dental prosthetics or veneers for roles and not just as vampires. They are used alongside old-age makeup to give an aged look; with plumpers and other devices to alter the shape of the face or mouth; to create the look of damaged, uneven or missing teeth; to create gold teeth.
With so much orthodonty around in the US it must be nigh on impossible to find any American actress who can portray 'normal' teeth without dentures or veneers: their teeth are just too even, too perfectly aligned and too white – if you don't believe me look at some headshots of French actresses for comparison.

Ahmadinejad and Irving
Reasons why jailing David Irving for "Holocaust Denial" was a bad idea, cont.: It allows Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to say that clearly there must be something to this point of view if "researchers" can be imprisoned for pursuing research from a "different perspective". And, of course, implicitly he's arguing that despite all your fancy, high-falutin' talk, you in the west are no better than the rest of us. You censor too. Tend to the beam in your own eye before looking to the mote in mine etc etc.

Greater Manchester Police has stopped 300 fully-fledged officers and PCSOs from patrolling on their mountain bikes. The patrols are popular with the public because they allow officers to chase criminals down narrow lanes and through parks and because they act as a visible deterrent.

Cardinal Newman in his "Definition of a Gentleman" said that a gentleman "... is scrupulous in imputing motives to those who interfere with him ..."—a remark that has long stuck in my mind because I've never been able to understand it. Now, a decade or two later, I think I may. To "impute" is to assign blame for something. "Imputing motives" must mean imagining that what somebody does is deliberate, for hurtful reasons. This mini-epiphany came to me when I saw a person flick a pencil across the table recently: I caught myself making up negative motivations for the act. In all probability it was just a slightly clumsy attempt to be helpful.
A key challenge of life is building good mental models to explain why other people do what they do. Fantasizing that many of their actions are driven by evil thoughts is silly, as well as quite counterproductive. Yep, it's one more habit I've gotta work on recognizing, and letting go of!

This is an advertisement from the Palestine Post newspaper in 1947 for "fast" and "cheap" airplane tickets from Israel to London, Brindisi (Italy), Baghdad, and Cairo.
Like much of Israel's infrastructure, the basis for the transportation system was established during the British Mandate period: many of the roads and railways built at this time are still in use today. The Egged Bus Company, founded as a cooperative service in 1933, continues to this day. The Israeli airline El Al has been flying since its inaugural flight from Geneva to Tel Aviv in September 1948. The first railroad in Palestine was the Jaffa-Jerusalem railway which opened on September 26, 1892. Unlike road vehicles and city trams, Israeli trains run on the left side of the tracks, matching Egypt and other Middle Eastern countries whose formerly connected rail networks were constructed by British engineers. The second railway was the Jezreel Valley railway running from Haifa to Beit She'an, built in 1904 as part of the Haifa-Daraa branch, a 1905-built feeder line of the Hejaz railway which ran from Medina (Saudia Arabia) to Damascus (Syria).

Whether you are driving, or in a meeting, or having dinner, you can let the caller know that you can't pick up their call right now. We have put together a tutorial that will show you how to setup iPhone automatic text response and how to create customized automatic text messages. But first, let's us explain to new iOS users what auto text answer is.
One just can't answer every phone call he gets. But rejecting a call from family or friend is also rude. To solve this problem, Apple added automatic text response feature to iOS. When you receive a call, look carefully at the options on your screen. You can see three possibilities; slide Left/Right to Answer/Reject, Remind Me Later, and a Text icon. You can use the auto-response feature by tapping on the Text icon. Now you can choose a reply from three default messages that appear on your screen. However, if you don't like the default messages provided by Apple you can also customize your auto-response messages.
This method is safe and secure to set up. You can use this method to setup iPhone Automatic text response. It will even help you to make an auto-reply using your message. A user will get notified of your response message. And later you can reply to that specific person. You can even add your text for automatic text response. It is beneficial while you are doing some critical work or driving, etc.
Go to Settings and then open Phone option.
Tap on Respond with Text. Now you will see three pre-loaded text responses. These are default replies set up by Apply.
You can repeat the above step for all three messages if you want.
Tap on the Phone icon in the top left corner of your screen to save these messages.
It is the best way to enable iPhone automatic text response. In just 5 steps you can setup iPhone Automatic text response. It will be an automatic process. So, while you are driving or in some important work. The person tries to contact you will get an instant text response, which you are busy. You can too try this method on your iPhone and do share your experience in the comments section below. And don't forget to share this article with your friends.

Irma agriculture losses continue to mount

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Florida's $2.5 billion request for federal disaster relief for its agriculture industry after Hurricane Irma might not be enough.
Members of the House Select Committee on Hurricane Response and Preparedness said Thursday month-old damage estimates made by the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Service are too low.
"I actually think your numbers are conservative," said Rep. Jared Moskowitz, a Coral Springs Democrat who called for a bipartisan letter to Congress supporting the emergency disaster relief that has been requested by Gov. Rick Scott and Agriculture Commissioner Adam Putnam. "I think you're probably looking at over $1 billion in damages to the citrus industry."
In an estimate of damages on Oct. 4, the state department projected citrus losses at $761 million from the September storm, followed by the nursery industry at almost $624 million.
The cattle industry damage assessment was $237.5 million, while the dairy industry was estimated to have $11.8 million in losses.
The sugar industry appeared to have $383 million in damage, with an estimated 534,324 acres affected. Vegetable and fruit growers -- excluding citrus -- were projected to have $180 million in damage, with an estimated 163,679 acres impacted by the storm.
Grace Lovett, the department's legislative affairs director, told the committee Thursday the $2.5 billion estimate included infrastructure, equipment and other items beyond crop damages. However, she noted that the department has noticed a number of trends, such as a slowdown in the movement of produce trucks.
"What they are seeing so far is staggering," Lovett said. "September produce shipments from Florida were 76 percent lower than their average over the previous four years."
Rep. Ben Albritton, a Wauchula Republican who is a citrus grower, said the numbers will grow because storm-damaged fruit continues drop from the trees.
"It's like a disease in a way," Albritton said, adding, Irma "beat it up so bad that the connection between the fruit and the stem is weakened."
He added that growers who saw damages of more than 70 percent may find harvesting costs outweigh the return on sales.
Albritton said growers who have lost 80 to 90 percent of their crops essentially have a total loss.
"You can't afford to harvest 10 or 15 percent," he said.
Albritton suggested the committee, which is expected to roll out post-storm legislative proposals in December, consider state and local tax reductions for the industry.
Jim Handley, executive vice president of the Florida Cattlemen's Association, suggested the state consider opening some of its publicly owned land for commercial cattle ranching to help the industry.
"I know of properties that could be grazed," Handley said. "The land would be better off, and it would expand our footprint."
A week ago, the U.S. Department of Agriculture reduced its Florida citrus-harvest forecast for the current growing season, projecting there will be 27 percent fewer oranges and 40 percent fewer grapefruit than during the past season.
Mike Sparks, executive vice president of Florida Citrus Mutual, said the industry, which has been struggling the past decade with citrus greening disease, had been hoping for a slight rebound in terms of production.
Before the storm, the industry was hoping for about 10 percent growth from the past season, which would still be nearly 40 percent off where the industry needs to be to ensure sustainability, Sparks said.
But the "optimism certainly came to an immediate end" with Irma, Sparks said. Irma, which made landfall Sept. 10 in Monroe and Collier counties and raced up the state, caused heavy damage in major citrus-growing areas.
A series of hurricanes in 2004 and 2005 caused the industry to lose 44 percent of the crop.
"This damage is even worse," Sparks said. "We had fruit not only blown off the trees, but trees in standing water for days."
Gov. Rick Scott has asked state lawmakers to include $21 million in the next budget to help citrus growers. Scott wants the money to include $10 million for citrus research, $4 million for marketing and $7 million for post-storm relief.

Israel cancels deportation of 35,000 African asylum seekers
Half of the refugees can stay in Israel with the rest moving to 'developed countries'

In a dramatic last-minute U-turn, Israel has cancelled the deportation of some 35,000 African asylum seekers that was due to begin in the coming days.
After secret contacts with the United Nations High Commission for Refugees, prime minister Binyamin Netanyahu announced in a news conference on Monday that half the asylum seekers, mostly from Eritrea and Sudan, will be sent to Western countries and the rest will be granted refugee status and allowed to remain and work in Israel.
"This agreement will allow for the departure from Israel of 16,250 migrants to developed countries, such as Canada, Germany and Italy, " he said.
The plan will be implemented in three stages over five years, and includes a forced relocation from south Tel Aviv, where the vast majority of the Africans currently reside, to other parts of the country, for those remaining in Israel.
The government plan for a mass deportation to Rwanda was challenged in the courts and criticised by human rights groups.
Large demonstrations to stop the deportations took place in recent months, although the move was supported by a majority of Israelis.
Critics, including holocaust survivors, argued that a country made up of Jewish refugees fleeing persecution shouldn't be deporting asylum seekers to countries where their lives may be in danger.
Volunteered to open homes
Thousands of Israelis had volunteered to open their homes to Africans faced with deportation.
Mr Netanyahu explained that the planned expulsion had to be aborted because Rwanda did not meet the conditions to absorb the asylum seekers, as was initially intended, and collapsed under the international pressure exerted on it.
"From the moment that it became clear in the last few weeks that the third country as an option does not exist, we in effect entered a trap that meant all of them would stay," he explained.
He said the new outline allows the removal of many more than the deportation plan and has the added advantage of the backing of the UN and the international community.
Opposition Zionist Union Knesset member Shelly Yachimovich said the agreement was "a tremendous victory for a citizens' campaign and the voice of morality and reason against racism and hatred of the stranger".
There was criticism from within the government coalition. Education minister Naftali Bennett, head of the Jewish Home party, said the deal will turn Israel into a heaven for economic migrants. "The agreement represents complete capitulation to the campaign of lies that has been promoted in the media in recent months."
Shlomo Maslawi, a Tel Aviv city councillor who led the protests against the high concentration of Africans in south Tel Aviv, said the new agreement was a "disaster that will reverberate for generations to come".

Received December 2015 Revised March 2016 Published November 2016
For a Boolean network we consider asynchronous updates and define the exclusive asynchronous basin of attraction for any steady state or cyclic attractor. An algorithm based on commutative algebra is presented to compute the exclusive basin. Finally its use for targeting desirable attractors by selective intervention on network nodes is illustrated with two examples, one cell signalling network and one sensor network measuring human mobility.

The OktoLock® clip is made out of a strong, durable, and flexible PC-ABS plastic. Manufactured in the USA, the OktoLock® clip's unique features securely fasten cords, hoses, or cables to railings, pipes, or lifts. Designed with the user in mind, the OktoLock® clip takes waiting trip hazards and securely contains them to a safe location.
Let's face it, no matter what industry you work in, keeping the job site in safe operating condition is vital in preventing injuries. In fact, most job site accidents are caused by a slip, trip, or fall. Because there are hazards at every turn, you can't predict when the next accident will occur. However, you can take proper steps to promote a safe working environment.
The OktoLock® clip gives you a versatile clip that is able to improve job site conditions. Although it may seem small and simple, it serves a huge role in reducing trips and falls on the job site by containing the most likely culprits.
With a goal to reduce trip hazards around the job site, the OktoLock® clip is designed to mount to hand rails or pipes up to 2" in diameter, while the lower 3" diameter loop wraps around your cords, hoses, welding leads, or cables. When stringing cords, we suggest that the user uses one OktoLock® clip every 2-4 feet to eliminate excessive slack on the line.

In the early hours of a week day morning, a retired man from North Carolina crossed the center line and collided with an SUV, first grazing a tractor trailer and then hitting the SUV straight on. Both the man and driver of the SUV died at the scene of the accident. The man was driving the wrong way on Interstate 26, and it is believed that he was confused about several things, including his direction of travel. The driver had been experiencing several health problems prior to the collision and may have left early to go to a doctor's office.
The sudden death of a loved one leaves family members with a lot of financial strain on top of the natural grieving process. Car accident deaths, like the one described above, can leave family members scrambling to find money for funeral expenses, medical expenses (if the family member was seen by a doctor after the accident, prior to the death), and household bills. Finding compensation that you might be entitled to under your family member's policy to help relieve some of the financial burdens can become a difficult process. Insurance adjusters may offer a quick settlement to a family member during this vulnerable time, and the full compensation that would be owed under the policy may not be awarded.
In North Carolina, automobile insurance policies offer compensation for bodily injury and property damage under the mandatory coverage. If the person who caused the accident was negligent, then the injured person or the family members of the the deceased can file a claim against the at-fault's insurance policy. If the at-fault's party does not have insurance or the coverage available fails to meet the expenses, then the injured or deceased's policy can possibly be used. Uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage may be available, depending on whether the policy holder kept the mandatory uninsured coverage.
A possible challenge is if the deceased is found to be partially negligent in any way. North Carolina follows the legal concept of contributory negligence, which completely bars recovery if the party seeking damages is negligent in any way. Other states follow a much less severe precedent called comparative negligence. Under that legal theory as long as the party filing suit is 49% or less negligent, they can still recover from the other party. However, the amount of damages may be reduced by the percentage of their own negligence.

Last month on the Northeast Cape Fear River two john boats collided, ripping one of the boats to pieces. One woman died and another man, who was later determined to be her boyfriend and father of her children, was severely injured. The man was recently charged with involuntary manslaughter due to his impairment while driving the boat. Reports indicate that he had drugs in his system and a blood alcohol level of .09 two hours after the accident.
North Carolina has made it illegal to boat under the influence of drugs or alcohol. You cannot operate a boat with a blood alcohol concentration level of .08 or greater. Violation of the law carries a misdemeanor punishment that can include up to 60 days in jail and a $1,000.00 fine. Skiing and surfing while impaired is also illegal. By making it a crime to operate a boat, ski, or surf while impaired, the North Carolina legislature has made it clear that people who participate in these activities owe a duty to others to perform them safely. Failure to live up to this duty creates liability for the owner or operator of the boat, and they can be responsible for the damages the injured or deceased loved one's family incurs.
The North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission published a set of findings for the Boating Accidents and Fatalities of 2012. 151 boating accidents were reported, with 23 of those accidents listed as fatal. 95 total vessels were involved, and 96 people required medical attention. Different activities were occurring when the fatal accidents took place, including changing speed, changing direction, fishing, drifting and cruising. Cruising and maneuvering were the top two activities for non-fatal accidents. Operator inattention was the number one cause of non-fatal accident, with careless/recklessness listed as the 3rd cause. Almost half of the fatal and non-fatal accidents involved people who had no education in boating safety. This data highlights the contributing factors to boat accidents, and provides some incentive to put cautionary measures in place to avoid collisions and injury.
North Carolina is a contributory negligence state, which means that if the person filing the suit is negligent in any way – even as little as 1% at fault – they can be barred from recovery. Thorough evidence obtained quickly after the boating accident can help prevent any counterclaims of contributory negligence. Evidence located at water-related accidents can easily deteriorate, and quickly securing objects, names of witnesses, and photographs of the area can greatly aid a boating accident negligence case.

In Raleigh, North Carolina an elementary school child was pulled from the apartment complex pool by emergency officials after they received reports of a drowning. The boy had been swimming with his friends, and emergency workers attempted to resuscitate him before taking him to the hospital. There was no lifeguard on duty. The boy died the next morning at a university hospital.
North Carolina has a lot of tourist attractions and athletic facilities that provide swimming pools to guests and members. Several residential facilities, like the apartment in the story above, also offer indoor or outdoor pools for residents and guests of the residents. While a great pastime during the hot summer months, swimming pools and other bodies of water can readily become a dangerous environment for those who use them, especially children.
According to the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS), drowning is the second most common cause of injury death for children age 5 and younger in the United States. A recent study published by Pediatrics, found out that around two-thirds of pediatricians, family physicians, and pediatric nurse practitioners who serve families with young children in Los Angeles County did not know that drowning caused more deaths among children than ingesting toxins or using firearms. This study shows that even medical professionals are unaware of the extensive risks that drowning poses to young children.
The North Carolina Administrative Codes (NCAC) thoroughly outlines the safety features pools must have for public use. Some important requirements include the placement and location of depth markings (for minimum and maximum depths), the placement of signs like "no diving" or "no lifeguard on duty", and the use of artificial lighting for pools open at night. Public pools are supposed to be enclosed by a fence, wall, building, or combination of the three to avoid accidental drownings of those who could not tell a swimming pool was present. The more communication there is of the pool, its depth, and how to get out, the safer the experience will be. Life saving equipment shall always be available in case an emergency does occur.
All institutions that provide public pools must follow these safety guidelines, as they are under a duty to provide safe premises for those they invite onto their property or reasonably expect, like guests of those who live in a residential complex or are members of the club with the pool. Failure to provide safe premises creates liability for the owners of the pool and property if their negligence results in injury or death.
