Dogs Bites Upon Children on the Rise

Dogs Bites Upon Children on the Rise by Corey Walker
in Family / Pets (submitted 2008-08-29)

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta, Georgia, nearly 2% of the U.S. population is bitten or attacked by a dog each year. This translates to more than 5 million dog bite victims every year, most of whom are children. Every day approximately 1,000 dog bite victims go to hospital emergency rooms. During the past 10 years, the number of dogs in the United States increased by only 2%, while the number of dog bites increased by more than 33%. Dog bite losses exceed $1 billion per year, with $345 million being paid by homeowner insurance policies.

Why do Dogs Bite and What Can Be Done to Prevent It? There are many reasons why dogs bite. Some bite out of fear, in an attempt to protect their territory or to establish their dominance over the person bitten. Some owners mistakenly teach their dogs that biting is an acceptable form of play behavior, and every year a number of newborn infants die when they are bitten by dogs that see them as “prey”.

There are several common sense methods of preventing dog bites, but sometimes there is no way to avoid an attack. If you are attacked, first try to block the attack with an object like a jacket or backpack. If you fall or are knocked to the ground, curl into a ball, protect your face by covering your head and neck.

Is the Owner of the Dog Liable? Iowa Code 351.28 provides that the owner of a dog “shall be liable to a injured party for all damages done by the dog…attacking or attempting to bite a person, except when the party damaged is doing an unlawful act” (for example someone breaking into a home is not allowed to recover if he/she is bitten or attacked by a dog). This is a lower standard than other personal injury cases where you have to prove negligence, recklessness, etc.

What Damages are Available? Medical Expenses: The cost of all reasonable and necessary medical expenses incurred and that are reasonably certain to be incurred in the future because of your injury, are recoverable. These expenses include past (already-incurred) medical expenses and also future medical expenses, which may be caused by the original injury or that result from an increased susceptibility to future injury. All forms of care and treatment, whether hospital, medical, therapy, nursing, diagnostic testing, surgery, physical rehabilitation or pain management are included. You can recover the full value of your medical expenses from the responsible party even if your health insurer has paid all or part of your bills.

Lost Wages (Loss of Earnings): You are also entitled to recover your lost wages (a/k/a loss of earnings) caused by your injuries

Ensure that your receivables are
promptly collected. Negotiate with your creditors for extension of the credit limits or
source for more credit lines or more time to pay back the debts. You need to do whatever
you can during the financially tight situations to quickly improve the cash flow position.

Typically in a major restructuring exercise, the timing is extremely short for you to
deliver the positive results. There are many things to do and remember. However, you
need to prioritise and remember these four Cs.

I can also

I can also tell when they show me that they have more interest in getting a low price than getting a sign with a design that is compelling enough to draw people into their place of business.

I want to ask them, “Is a $1000 sign really cheaper than a $10,000 sign”. When they say “Yes, it is”. I want to explain to them that if their business fails because of poor signage choices, then how much did they really save on that $1,000 sign? On the other hand, if their business succeeds beyond their wildest expectations and it is due in part to their clever and effective sign content, then wasn’t they extra $9k the best decision they could have made? It pays for itself and then makes them money if it helps keep them from “going under”.

Signs are best looked at as “advertising”.

Sailors train to board suspect vessels

0 Comments | Plymouth Evening Herald, The, Jul 28, 2010

IN A daring swoop a team of Plymouthbased Royal Navy sailors and Royal Marines boards a suspect vessel, writes Defence Reporter Tristan Nichols.

While servicemen examine a diagram of the ship so that a search plan can be formulated, others check over the paperwork with the ship’s master.

Meanwhile other servicemen on HMS Monmouth stand guard while another carries out a search of one of the ship’s compartments.

These pictures might look like a reallife situation, but they are in fact of a training exercise conducted at HMS Raleigh in Torpoint.

The sailors and marines of Devonportbased HMS Monmouth are conducting boarding exercises ahead of an operational deployment next year.

Conducted by Devonport Naval Base’s 1 Assault Group Royal Marines, the Royal Navy Board and Search School course is designed to teach the sailors how to board, secure and search a suspect vessel either by boat or by helicopter.

The training covers a range of scenarios, testing the sailors’ reaction to various situations including crew unrest, discovery of weapons or illegal contraband and an injury to a member of their own team.

In addition to lectures in the classroom, the training includes a series of realistic exercises with the team carrying out practice boardings firstly on the MV Cossack, a land-based purpose-built mockup of a typical merchant ship.

Commander Tony Long, commanding officer of HMS Monmouth, has told The

By adding more moisture

By adding more moisture to the air, you?re adding more moisture to your skin. Purchasing a humidifier can help prevent the excess drying or ezcema.

Be especially careful with your laundry products. Harsh detergents and chemical fabric softeners can aggravate eczema. Switch to unscented, mild detergent and fabric softeners that work in the rinse cycle to minimize irritation.

Another popular herbal remedy for eczema is Evening Primrose oil. Taken orally, this herbal remedy seems to alleviate some of the symptoms of eczema, possibly because of its high concentration of an omega-6 essential fatty acid.

There are several simple lifestyle changes and remedies to help alleviate the symptoms of eczema. Incorporating several of these tips into your skin care regime may help guide your eczema into a state of remission.

Market Wire, July, 2010

BilltoMobile welcomes the return of respected payments industry veteran Steve Klebe, naming him vice president of business development and strategy. In his new role, Steve is responsible for developing and managing BilltoMobile’s strategic relationships, guiding the company’s long-term strategy and continuing to rapidly expand the company’s online merchant partnerships. BilltoMobile launched its innovative direct mobile billing service in May 2010 with its first mobile carrier, Verizon Wireless. BilltoMobile is privately held in the U.S., with majority ownership by Danal Co., Ltd., based in South Korea. Danal is a pioneer and global leader in charging e-commerce transactions directly to mobile phone accounts.

With more than 30 years of experience in sales, business development, creating strategic alliances and product marketing in electronic payments, authentication and fraud prevention, Steve returns to BilltoMobile after being an earlier, integral part of creating the company. Over the past three decades, he has held a variety of senior management roles at prominent, successful payment companies including VeriFone, CyberSource, Cybercash and, most recently, Vindicia. While at CyberSource, he led the effort to create the original partnership with Visa that led to both an equity investment and a co-developed and branded fraud prevention service.

“Having the opportunity to return to BilltoMobile now that we are live and bringing our market-changing alternative payment service to the online merchant community is exciting,” Steve said. “Working with a standout group of industry experts on a project you can be proud of makes a world of a difference — not to mention representing a payment service that is truly at the forefront of today’s online mobile payments marketplace.”

Making his debut as the newest member of BilltoMobile’s executive team, Steve will be attending Casual Connect in Seattle through July 22. Online entertainment publishers interested in meeting with him can contact him at steve.klebe@billtomobile.com for an appointment.

“Very few people are as knowledgeable about alternative payment models, or as respected in the e-commerce industry, as is Steve,” said Scott Loftesness, founding partner at Glenbrook Partners, a research firm focusing on the payments industry. “He understands how merchants think based on his years of closely working with them — now he brings all of that experience to the mobile payments space in his new role at BilltoMobile.”

NATIONAL FLOOD INSURANCE

Voting 329-90, the House on Thursday sent the Senate a bill (HR 5114) to renew National Flood Insurance at an authorized cost of $476 million over 10 years. The renewal, covering five years, would increase premiums and deductibles, raise residential and commercial coverage limits, delay purchase requirements in areas newly added to flood maps and provide $50 million annually in grants for programs to educate homeowners and renters about the program.

Congress enacted National Flood Insurance in 1968 to provide households with coverage that standard homeowner policies do not provide. The law requires participation by most properties located in chronically flooded areas. About 5.6 million U.S. households in 20,000 communities participate, with most premiums subsidized by taxpayers.

The Federal Emergency Management Agency provides the insurance and assumes all risk, while private firms sell and service policies for a percentage of the premium. Although designed to be self- financing, the program is authorized to borrow up to $20.8 billion from the Treasury. It carries a $19 billion deficit attributed to claims from victims of hurricanes Katrina, Rita and Wilma in 2005

As a result, we

As a result, we can have cleaner and more pure air to breathe inside our homes or offices. NASA scientists have found out that indoor plants can extract volatile organic chemicals (VOCs) from the air. They contain toxic vapors such as ammonia, benzene, xylene, toluene, trichloroethylene, formaldehyde, etc. Plants break down the chemicals after absorbing them into their leaves. They absorb the chemicals through stomata, the microscopic openings in the leaves. Then the toxins reach the root zone where the root microbes of the plants biodegrade the pollutants. The plants use these biodegraded pollutants as food.

However, you need to remember that some houseplants can be poisonous to your health. Therefore, you need to be very careful while choosing plants for your home or office. Read more on which plants are good organic air purifiers.

Depending on the amount of indoor air space you have the number of plants required to filter your air may be impractical and take up too much of your living space.
