A heat activated transfer is formed having a lower thermoplastic or thermoactive adhesive layer, an upper transparent thermoset layer and indicia. The indicia is formed from sublimation dye or diffusion dye which is heat transferred into the thermoset material, preferably as the heat activated transfer is being applied to a cloth substrate. This permits printing and application of individual unique indicia on each individual heat activated transfer at a very low cost. Due to the extreme clarity of the formed product as well as the ease by which different unique indicia can be provided with each heat activated transfer, this method and product is uniquely suitable for use in preparing coated machine-readable indicia such as bar codes. This permits inventory control for cloth items such as hospital garments, linen and the like. It also permits uniforms and the like to be marked with the individual user's name at a relatively low cost.
1. The method of applying indicia to a cloth substrate comprising placing a heat activated transfer onto said cloth substrate, said heat activated transfer comprising a heat activated adhesive layer and a clear upper thermoset layer, wherein said heat activated adhesive layer is placed in contact with said cloth layer, placing a transfer sheet onto said heat activated transfer, said transfer sheet comprising a carrier and a sublimation dye forming indicia with said sublimation dye in contact with said thermoset layer of said heat activated transfer;
applying heat and pressure against said transfer sheet and said heat activated transfer and said cloth to cause said adhesive to melt and bond to said cloth and to cause said sublimation dye to sublime and transfer to said thermoset layer.
2. The method claimed in claim 1 wherein said indicia comprises a machine readable bar code.
3. The method claimed in claim 2 wherein said adhesive layer is an tinted layer.
4. The method claimed in claim 3 wherein said adhesive layer is selected from the group consisting of thermoplastic polyurethane adhesives and thermosetable linear unsaturated polyester adhesives.
This application is a divisional application of application Ser. No. 08/149,006, filed Nov. 8, 1993, now U.S. Pat. No. 5,413,841.
Machine readable characters are used for a variety of different applications. Particularly, bar codes are employed in identifying products in stores. In these applications, one number or bar code is applied to all identical articles. The bar codes are almost always printed on the packaging.
Bar codes can also be used as a means for inventory control and identification and location of goods or other articles. This may require a separate bar code for each and every item. This is possible where the bar code is printed on a paper material that has an adhesive backing. This will not work, however, in applications where the bar code must be applied to a cloth substrate which is subjected to an industrial laundry. Mere pressure sensitive adhesives will not withstand any laundering. The extreme conditions of an industrial laundry cause even most heat activated transfers to separate from the article of clothing, delaminate or cause the indicia to dissolve.
A bar code must be clear and sharp. If the bar code or other indicia is not clearly discernible, it cannot be machine read. It also will be very unattractive.
It is possible in many applications to preprint a bar code within a laminant so that separate lamina are on either side of the bar code. These laminae protect the bar code. A problem with this, however, is delamination. Again, particularly with commercial laundry conditions, delamination is an extremely significant problem.
Mahn U.S. Pat. No. 4,610,904 discloses a heat activated transfer having a bar code which does not delaminate. But the bar code must be produced by a screen printing process or similar manner. The bar code may also have to be overcoated with an outer clear layer. This would work if one was applying the same bar code to hundreds of items. But this is impractical for applying a different bar code to each different item.
Thus, for a coded label to function on an item subjected to an industrial laundry, it must withstand the conditions of the commercial laundry. There must also be an effective way to apply the code onto the label. Further, the bar code must not delaminate or fade and must be clear and machine readable.
The present invention is premised on the realization that a heat activated transfer having indicia which is sharp enough to be machine readable can be produced by providing a laminate having a lower layer which is a thermoactive adhesive layer or includes a thermoactive adhesive layer, and an upper layer which is a clear thermoset plastic, and applying onto the thermoset layer an indicia layer which is formed from a sublimation or diffusion dye.
Preferably, the machine readable indicia is applied directly to the thermoset layer as the adhesive layer is being bonded to a cloth substrate. The heat required to melt and adhere the adhesive to a cloth substrate acts to transfer the dye onto the thermoset layer.
Preferably, the lower layer is an adhesive which bonds the transfer to a cloth substrate and provides a background which keeps the sublimation dye crisp and clear so that it can be easily machine read. Preferably, the thermoset layer is a clear thermoset polyurethane layer.
The present invention is particularly adapted to provide machine readable bar codes on articles which are subjected to industrial laundry such as work clothing, hospital clothing and bedding.
The objects and advantages of the present invention will be further appreciated in light of the following detailed description and drawings wherein:
FIG. 1 is prospective view of a heat activated transfer according to the present invention having indicia with the machine readable bar code;
FIG. 2 is a cross sectional view taken at lines 2�2 of FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 is a diagrammatic view of the method of forming and applying the heat activated transfer of the present invention; and
FIG. 4 is a cross section view of an alternate embodiment of the present invention.
The present invention is a heat activated transfer as shown in FIG. 1. The transfer 11 includes a lower adhesive layer 12 and an upper thermoset layer 13. As shown in FIG. 2, indicia layer 14 formed from a sublimation dye is located within the upper thermoset layer 13.
The lower layer 12 must be an adhesive layer which is thermoplastic or thermoactive. It is selected so that it will adhere to the substrate to which it is applied. It must also have a melting or activation temperature which is at or above the sublimation or diffusion temperature of the dye used to form indicia 14.
In application, there are a number of different thermoplastic materials that are suitable for use in the present invention. Preferably, this will be a thermoplastic polymer having a high melting point, one which does not flow at temperatures less than 350� F. and, preferably, not less than 400� F. For certain markets, adhesives with lower melting points such as 200� F. can be used.
A thermoplastic layer should be one which can be easily removed from a garment either by heat or solvent. Suitable thermoplastics include polyesters, polyamides, polyurethanes and polyethers. High melt polyurethanes are preferred and can be removed with dimethyl formaldehyde as well as cyclohexanol. Polymers such as polyvinylchloride are not easily removed by solvents since they tend to totally dissolve into the solvents and sink into the garments permanently marring the garments.
A preferred adhesive is a polyurethane thermoplastic made by Morton International (formerly the K.J. Quinn Company in Maldon, Massachusetts), PS455. This product has a shore A hardness of 85-90, shore D hardness of 35-40 and a melting temperature of 400-420� F. This can be clear or tinted for example by adding up to 4% TiO2. Also suitable is Emhart Bostic 4117 brand polyester thermoplastic having a softening point of 225� F. A thermosettable linear saturated polyester adhesive sold as Bostic 10-300-3 is also suitable particularly for nylon fabric. Another suitable polyester adhesive can be purchased from Goodyear. The polyurethane adhesive sold by Morton International is good for a wide range of fabrics including polyester and polyester blends with wool and cotten, wool, cotton and triacetate. A nylon based adhesive EMS1G sold by EMS Industries can also be used.
The upper thermoset layer can be formed from a variety of different materials. These are all clear thermoset materials including thermoset polyamides, thermoset polyurethanes, thermoset polyolefins, thermoset polyepoxides, and thermoset polyesters.
The preferred thermoset layer is a clear thermoset polyurethane such as Zephyrlon brand sold by Sinclair and Valentine Chemical Coating Groups of Wheelabrator-Frye, Inc. of North Kansas City, Miss. This is disclosed more fully in Mahn U.S. Pat. No. 4,610,904. Thermoset cross-link resin sold by SubliPress, Inc. and thermoset epoxy sold under the name Coat-um by Nova Chrome Inc. also function.
The upper thermoset layer should have a thickness of from about 2 mils to about 0.05 mils with about 1 to about 0.1 mils being preferred. Most preferred is about 0.5 mils.
For use in the present invention, the adhesive layer 12 is prebonded to the thermoset layer 13 by a lamination process or coating process. A preferred laminate for use in the present invention is disclosed in Mahn et al. U.S. Pat. No. 4,610,904, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference.
The sublimation or diffusion dye layer 14 can be formed from any of a variety of well known sublimation or diffusion dyes which are suitable for application to the thermoset layer 13. They are generally used to apply indicia to woven materials.
Generally, the dispersed dyes listed in the Colour Index under the heading Dispersed Dyes are suitable. These include, for example, azo, anthraquinone, quinophthalone, nitro, azomethine, and styryl-type dyes. These are disclosed, for example, in Donenfeld U.S. Pat. No. 4,576,610, Seibert U.S. Pat. No. 3,508,492, Haigh U.S. Pat. No. 4,202,663, DeVires U.S. Pat. No. 4,021,591, Gilardone U.S. Pat. No. 4,654,044, Cicogna U.S. Pat. No. 2,911,280, and Akamatsu U.S. Patent 3,502,495. One commercially available sublimation dye is sold by Xpress Company of Winston Salem, North Carolina. This is particularly good for offset printing applications. Others sold by Fugi KK and Eastman Kodak diffusion dye (referred to as thermal transfer diffusion donor material) are also suitable. A dye which is suitable for application with a lithographic press is sold by Roach Inc. Dyes which can be applied with a dot matrix printer are sold by Pearl Worldwide.
These dyes can be printed or transferred onto a transfer sheet which will withstand the temperature of this or diffusion and release the dye at or below sublimation temperature. Suitable methods for printing the dye onto the transfer sheet include thermal transfer, offset printing lithographic printing and dot matrix printing. Suitable heat transfer printers are sold by Seiko, Zebra (140) and Fargo (Prodigy Plus).
The transfer sheet is typically paper coated with a release coating such as wax, high molecular weight polyethylene glycols, low molecular weight polyethylene, polytetraflouroethylene silicone or stearic acid.
FIG. 3 is a diagrammatic depiction of a method of applying a heat activated transfer of the present invention. In this application, the thermoplastic layer 12 is prebonded to the thermoset layer 13. These can be, for example, the materials disclosed in Mahn U.S. Pate. No. 4,610,904. The dye 14 is printed onto the transfer sheet 15. The thermoplastic layer 12 is placed against a cloth substrate 16 and the release sheet 15 is applied on the thermoset layer 13 with the sublimation dye 14 between the two as shown by arrow 17. These are then placed between two heated platens 18 and 19 which apply pressure and temperature against the composite causing the adhesive layer 12 to melt and flow into the cloth layer to bond it to the cloth layer along with the thermoset layer 13. The same temperature and pressure will cause the sublimation dye to sublime and the individual molecules will flow into the thermoset layer 13 permanently marking that layer 13. Generally, five to ten seconds is required. Temperatures, generally, will vary from 300 to 400� F. with applied pressure up to 80 xpsi.
Heat activated transfers of the present invention can also be formed by printing or transferring the sublimation dye onto the outer layer 12 and subsequently applying the transfer 11 to a cloth layer. The heat required to bond the transfer 11 to the garment will cause the dye to sublime and migrate into the transfer 11.
In an alternate embodiment shown in FIG. 4, the heat activated transfer 21 can include a lower thermoplastic layer 22, an intermediate layer 23 and an outer clear layer 24. The indicia 25, which is the sublimation dye, resides on the intermediate layer 23. The intermediate layer 23 can be a variety of different materials including thermoset and thermoplastic materials. These can be, for example, polyamides, polyurethanes, polyolefins, polyepoxies and polyesters. This would generally be an opaque material. A preferred thermoset is a thermoset polyurethane ink such as Zephyrlon, pigmented polyurethane sold by Sinclair and Valentine Chemical Coating Groups of Wheelabrator-Frye, Inc. of North Kansas City, Miss. Other materials that would be suitable for use in this application would include microporous polyurethanes such as Permair brand microporous polyurethane, sold by Porvair Ltd., and microporous silicone such as Teslin brand material, sold by PPG Industries. This intermediate layer must not melt at temperatures lower than 270� F. and preferably be a thermoset material. The thickness of this intermediate layer can range from 0.5 mils up to 25 mils and, preferably, is from 3 mils to 20 mils.
These will be further appreciated in light of the following examples.
A heat activated transfer was formed having a 5 mil thick adhesive layer which was white polyurethane adhesive (containing 4% TiO2) sold under the name PS-455 by Morton International and a 0.5 mil thick upper layer which was a clear polyurethane thermoset sold under the trade name Zephrylon by Wheelabrator-Frye.
A thermal dye diffusion donor material sold by Eastman Kodak was heat transferred onto a transfer sheet using a thermal printer. The adhesive layer was placed on a cloth substrate and the transfer sheet was placed on the upper layer with the sublimation dye contacting the upper layer. Two heated platens (400� F. 80 psi and 8 seconds) were used, simultaneously bonding the transfer to the cloth substrate and causing the sublimation dye to migrate into the upper layer.
This same process was repeated using a sublimation dye sold by Fuji KK.
A heat activated transfer was formed having a 5 mil thick adhesive layer which is unpigmented polyurethane adhesive (PS-455), a middle layer of 20 mil thermoset white microporous polyurethane (Porvair brand) and an upper layer of Zephrylon brand clear polyurethane.
Indicia was thermal transfered onto the upper polyurethane layer from Eastman Kodak brand thermal dye diffusion donor material. This transfer was then bonded to a cloth substrate by application of pressure (80 psi) and temperature (400� F.) for 8 seconds.
Indicia was also applied to the same substrate from Fuji KK sublimation dye ribbon as described in Example 1.
As previously discussed, the sublimation dye can be printed on the surface of thermoset layer 13 prior to application to a garment. During application, a cloth or paper layer can be placed between the sublimation dye and the heated platen to absorb excess dye if necessary. The dye can also be heat transferred into layer 13 prior to application, either before application of the adhesive or after application of this adhesive.
If it is desirable to remove the indicia, this can be done by applying heat or solvent to dissolve the thermoplastic layer 12. Alternately a new transfer can be applied directly to the top surface with an adhesive layer adhering to the thermoset layer 13.
For use with a bar code, the thermoset layer 13 is preferably a white layer with the sublimation dye 14 being black. However, the thermoplastic material can be any color and the sublimation dye, likewise, can be a different color. Also, the thermoset layer 13 can be a light colored polyurethane layer. In some applications, it may be desirable for all layers to be clear. This provides a very clear image on a cloth garment.
As previously discussed, this invention provides a number of different advantages. The foremost is the combination of providing a clear, crisp machine readable indicia which can be individually formed and bonded onto a cloth substrate. This then can be subjected to the high temperatures of industrial laundry. This is a very flexible procedure and can be used with a variety of different printers and a variety of different methods of applying the indicia during application or before application or even subsequent to application.
Further, the present invention is very rapid. Generally, the transfer of a sublimation dye to a garment requires 15 seconds to a minute. Under the present invention, the sublimation dye can be applied to film in less than a second and can be applied to a garment in about 3 seconds. Further, when compared to applying a sublimation dye directly to a garment, the present invention provides crisp, clear lines, bolder colors and avoids any re-deposition during wash.
The product is suitable for use with a variety of different colors and designs. For example, different colored opaque material can be used to designate the day of the week, that the code is applied.
The transfer of the present invention can also be put on a variety of different fabrics, including dark fabrics. Sublimation dyes cannot go directly on dark cloth. Further, sublimation dyes work best with polyurethane and polyesters and do not work well with cotton and acetate. The present invention works well with all of these fabrics.
The advantages of the present invention make this uniquely suitable for application for printing and applying a bar code having a number to a first garment and then to a second garment, printing and applying a bar code having a different number and so on for subsequent garments. This provides a unique method of loss control for garments which are subjected to industrial laundries.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
Diplomatic immunity is a form of legal immunity that ensures diplomats are given safe passage and are considered not susceptible to lawsuit or prosecution under the host country's laws, although they can still be expelled. It was agreed as international law in the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations (1961), though the concept and custom have a much longer history. Many principles of diplomatic immunity are now considered to be customary law. Diplomatic immunity as an institution developed to allow for the maintenance of government relations, including during periods of difficulties and even armed conflict. When receiving diplomats—who formally represent the sovereign—the receiving head of state grants certain privileges and immunities to ensure they may effectively carry out their duties, on the understanding that these are provided on a reciprocal basis.
Originally, these privileges and immunities were granted on a bilateral, ad hoc basis, which led to misunderstandings and conflict, pressure on weaker states, and an inability for other states to judge which party was at fault. An international agreement known as the Vienna Conventions codified the rules and agreements, providing standards and privileges to all states.
It is possible for the official's home country to waive immunity; this tends to happen only when the individual has committed a serious crime, unconnected with their diplomatic role (as opposed to, say, allegations of spying), or has witnessed such a crime. However, many countries refuse to waive immunity as a matter of course; individuals have no authority to waive their own immunity (except perhaps in cases of defection). Alternatively, the home country may prosecute the individual. If immunity is waived by a government so that a diplomat (or their family members) can be prosecuted, it must be because there is a case to answer and it is in the public interest to prosecute them. For instance, in 2002, a Colombian diplomat in London was prosecuted for manslaughter, once diplomatic immunity was waived by the Colombian government.[1][2]

The concept of diplomatic immunity can be found in ancient Indian epics like Ramayana (between 3000 and 2000 BC) and Mahabharata (around 4th century BC) where messengers and diplomats were given immunity from capital punishment. In Ramayana, when the demon king Ravana ordered the killing of Hanuman, Ravana's younger brother Vibhishana pointed out that messengers or diplomats should not be killed or arrested, as per ancient practices.
During the evolution of international justice, many wars were considered rebellions or unlawful by one or more combatant sides. In such cases, the servants of the "criminal" sovereign were often considered accomplices and their persons violated. In other circumstances, harbingers of inconsiderable demands were killed as a declaration of war. Herodotus records that when heralds of the Persian king Darius the Great demanded "earth and water" (i.e., symbols of submission) of Greek cities, the Athenians threw them into a pit and the Spartans threw them down a well for the purpose of suggesting they would find both earth and water at the bottom, these often being mentioned by the messenger as a threat of siege.[citation needed]
A Roman envoy was urinated on as he was leaving the city of Tarentum. The oath of the envoy: "This stain will be washed away with blood!" was fulfilled during the Second Punic War. The arrest and ill-treatment of the envoy of Raja Raja Chola by the king of Kulasekhara dynasty (Second Cheras), which is now part of modern India, led to a naval war called Kandalur War in AD 994.[citation needed]
Pope Gelasius I was the first pope recorded as enjoying diplomatic immunity, as it is noted in his letter Duo sunt to emperor Anastasius.[citation needed]
As diplomats by definition enter the country under safe-conduct, violating them is normally viewed as a great breach of honour, although there have been a number of cases where diplomats have been killed. Genghis Khan and the Mongols were well known for strongly insisting on the rights of diplomats, and they would often take terrifying vengeance against any state that violated these rights. The Mongols would often raze entire cities to the ground in retaliation for the execution of their ambassadors, and invaded and destroyed the Khwarezmid Empire after their ambassadors had been mistreated.[citation needed]
The British Parliament first guaranteed diplomatic immunity to foreign ambassadors in 1709, after Count Andrey Matveyev, a Russian resident in London, had been subjected to verbal and physical abuse by British bailiffs.
Modern diplomatic immunity evolved parallel to the development of modern diplomacy. In the 17th century, European diplomats realized that protection from prosecution was essential to doing their jobs and a set of rules evolved guaranteeing the rights of diplomats. These were still confined to Western Europe and were closely tied to the prerogatives of nobility. Thus, an emissary to the Ottoman Empire could expect to be arrested and imprisoned upon the outbreak of hostilities between their State and the empire. The French Revolution also disrupted this system, as the revolutionary State and Napoleon imprisoned a number of diplomats accused of working against France. More recently, the Iran hostage crisis is universally considered a violation of diplomatic immunity. Although the hostage-takers did not officially represent the state, host countries have an obligation to protect diplomatic property and personnel. On the other hand, in World War II, diplomatic immunity was upheld and the embassies of the belligerents evacuated through neutral countries.
For the upper class of the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries, diplomatic immunity was an easy concept to understand. The first embassies were not permanent establishments but actual visits by high-ranking representatives, often close relatives, of the sovereign or even the sovereign in person. As permanent representations evolved, usually on a treaty basis between two powers, they were frequently staffed by relatives of the sovereign or high-ranking nobles.
Warfare was not between individuals but between their sovereigns, and the officers and officials of European governments and armies often changed employers. Truces and ceasefires were commonplace, along with fraternization between officers of enemy armies during them. When prisoners, the officers usually gave their parole and were only restricted to a city away from the theatre of war. Almost always, they were given leave to carry their personal sidearms. Even during French revolutionary wars, British scientists visited the French Academy. In such an atmosphere, it was easy to accept that some persons were immune to the laws. After all, they were still bound by strict requirements of honour and customs.
In the 19th century, the Congress of Vienna reasserted the rights of diplomats; and they have been largely respected since then, as the European model has spread throughout the world. Currently, diplomatic relations, including diplomatic immunity, are governed internationally by the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations, which has been ratified by almost every country in the world.
In modern times, diplomatic immunity continues to provide a means, albeit imperfect, to safeguard diplomatic personnel from any animosity that might arise between nations. As one article put it: "So why do we agree to a system in which we're dependent on a foreign country's whim before we can prosecute a criminal inside our own borders? The practical answer is: because we depend on other countries to honor our own diplomats' immunity just as scrupulously as we honor theirs."[3]
The Diplomatic Relations Act of 1978 (22 U.S.C. § 254a et seq.) follows the principles introduced by the Vienna Conventions. The United States has had a tendency to be generous when granting diplomatic immunity to visiting diplomats, because a large number of U.S. diplomats work in host countries less protective of individual rights. If the United States were to punish a visiting diplomat without sufficient grounds, U.S. representatives in other countries could receive harsher treatment.
In the United States, if a person with immunity is alleged to have committed a crime or faces a civil lawsuit, the State Department asks the home country to waive immunity of the alleged offender so that the complaint can be moved to the courts. If immunity is not waived, prosecution cannot be undertaken. However, the State Department still has the discretion to ask the diplomat to withdraw from her or his duties. Often, the diplomat's visas are canceled; and the diplomat and her or his family may be barred from returning to the United States. Crimes committed by members of a diplomat's family can also result in dismissal.[4]
Some countries have made reservations to the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations, but they are minor. A number of countries limit the diplomatic immunity of persons who are citizens of the receiving country. As nations keep faith to their treaties with differing zeal, other rules may also apply, though in most cases this summary is a reasonably accurate approximation.[5] The Convention does not cover the personnel of international organizations, whose privileges are decided upon on a case-by-case basis, usually in the treaties founding such organizations. The United Nations system (including its agencies, which comprise the most recognizable international bodies such as the World Bank and many others) has a relatively standardized form of limited immunities for staff traveling on U.N. laissez-passer; diplomatic immunity is often granted to the highest-ranking officials of these agencies. Consular officials (that do not have concurrent diplomatic accreditation) formally have a more limited form of immunity, generally limited to their official duties. Diplomatic technical and administrative staff also have more limited immunity under the Vienna Convention; for this reason, some countries may accredit technical and administrative staff as attaché.
Other categories of government officials that may travel frequently to other countries may not have diplomatic passports or diplomatic immunity, such as members of the military, high-ranking government officials, ministers, and others. Many countries provide non-diplomatic official passports to such personnel, and there may be different classes of such travel documents such as official passports, service passports, and others. De facto recognition of some form of immunity may be conveyed by states accepting officials traveling on such documents, or there may exist bilateral agreements to govern such cases (as in, for example, the case of military personnel conducting or observing exercises on the territory of the receiving country).
Formally, diplomatic immunity may be limited to officials accredited to a host country, or traveling to or from their host country. In practice, many countries may effectively recognize diplomatic immunity for those traveling on diplomatic passports, with admittance to the country constituting acceptance of the diplomatic status.
In reality, most diplomats are representatives of nations with a tradition of professional civil service, and are expected to obey regulations governing their behaviour and they suffer strict internal consequences (disciplinary action) if they flout local laws. In many nations a professional diplomat's career may be compromised if they (or even members of their family) disobey the local authorities or cause serious embarrassment, and such cases are, at any rate, a violation of the spirit of the Vienna Conventions.
The Vienna Convention is explicit that "without prejudice to their privileges and immunities, it is the duty of all persons enjoying such privileges and immunities to respect the laws and regulations of the receiving State." Nevertheless, on some occasions, diplomatic immunity leads to some unfortunate results; protected diplomats have violated laws (including those that would be violations at home as well) of the host country and that country has been essentially limited to informing the diplomat's nation that the diplomat is no longer welcome (persona non grata). Diplomatic agents are not, however, exempt from the jurisdiction of their home state, and hence prosecution may be undertaken by the sending state; for minor violations of the law, the sending state may impose administrative procedures specific to the foreign service or diplomatic mission.
Violation of the law by diplomats has included espionage, smuggling, child custody law violations, tax evasion, making terrorist threats,[6] slavery, preying on Internet children for sex,[7] and even murder: In London in 1984, policewoman Yvonne Fletcher was killed on the street by a person shooting from inside the Libyan embassy. The incident caused a breakdown in diplomatic relations until Libya admitted "general responsibility" in 1999.[8]
Diplomats and officials involved in drug smuggling have benefited from diplomatic immunity. For example, a Venezuelan general arrested on drugs charges in Aruba was released after the Venezuelan government protested his diplomatic immunity and threatened sanctions if Aruba did not release him.[9]
Diplomatic immunity from local employment and labor law when employing staff from the host country has precipitated abuse. Local staff are employed where local knowledge is needed (such as an administrative assistant, press/PR officer), or as menial staff like a cleaner, maid or mechanic. When the employer is a diplomat, the employees are in a legal limbo where the laws of neither the host country nor the diplomat's country are enforceable, so that an abusive diplomat employer can act with virtual impunity. Diplomats have ignored local laws concerning minimum wages, maximum working hours, vacation and holidays. The worst abusers have imprisoned the employees in their homes, deprived them of their earned wages, passports, and communication with the outside world, abused them physically and emotionally, deprived them of food and invaded their privacy.[10][11] In the case of corrupt countries and abusive diplomats, it has been virtually impossible to enforce payment of wages or any standards whatsoever. South Africa, for example, was criticised for claiming immunity from labor laws relating to a Ukrainian domestic worker at the residence of the South African ambassador to Ireland in Ireland.[12]
In Finland, a Philippine maid escaped from an embassy of an unidentified Asian country, and reported being held in conditions approaching slavery: she was forced to work from 7 am. to 10 pm., 7 days a week, and the ambassador's children were permitted to hit her. On grounds of diplomatic immunity, no charges could be filed.[13]
In December 2013, Indian consular official Devyani Khobragade was detained, hand-cuffed, strip searched, DNA swabbed and held in a federal holding cell in New York, relating to allegations of non-payment of U.S. minimum wage and for fraudulently lying about the wages to be paid on a visa application for her domestic worker. India registered a strong protest and initiated a review of privileges afforded to American consular officials in India as a result.[14]
The American Civil Liberties Union filed an amicus brief in Swarna v. Al-Awadi to argue that human trafficking is a commercial activity engaged in for personal profit, which falls outside the scope of a diplomat's official functions, and therefore diplomatic immunity does not apply.[15] An appeals court ruled that Al-Awadi did not have diplomatic immunity in that situation.[16]
In 1999, a Bangladeshi woman, Shamela Begum, claimed she had been enslaved by a senior Bahraini envoy to the UN and his wife. Begum charged that the couple took her passport, struck her, and paid her just $800 for ten months of service — during which she was only twice allowed out of the couple's New York apartment. The envoy and his wife claimed diplomatic immunity, and Begum later reached a civil settlement with her employers. By some estimates, "hundreds of women have been exploited by their diplomat employers over the past 20 years."[7]
A particular problem is the difficulty in enforcing ordinary laws such as prohibitions on double parking. For example, the Autobahn 555 in Cologne, Germany was nicknamed the "Diplomatenrennbahn" (Diplomatic Raceway), back when Bonn was the capital of West Germany, because of the numerous diplomats that used to speed through the highway under diplomatic immunity. Certain cities, e.g., The Hague, have taken to impounding such cars rather than fining their owners. Diplomats' status does not guarantee the release of impounded cars.
Diplomatic missions have their own regulations, but many require their staff to pay any fines due for parking violations. A 2006 economic study found that there was a significant correlation between home-country corruption (as measured by Transparency International) and unpaid parking fines: six countries had in excess of 100 violations per diplomat: Kuwait, Egypt, Chad, Sudan, Bulgaria and Mozambique.[17] In particular, New York City, the home of the United Nations Headquarters, regularly protests to the United States Department of State about non-payment of parking tickets because of diplomatic status. As of 2001, the city had more than 200,000 outstanding parking tickets from diplomats, totaling more than $21.3 million, of which only $160,682 had been collected.[18] In 1997, then-mayor Rudy Giuliani proposed to the Clinton administration that the U.S. State Department revoke the special DPL plates for diplomats who ignore parking summonses; the State Department denied Giuliani's request.[18]
In cities that impose a congestion charge, the decision of some diplomatic missions not to furnish payment has proved controversial. In London, embassies have amassed approximately £58 million in unpaid charges as of 2012, with the American embassy comprising approximately £6 million and the Russian, German and Japanese missions around £2 million each.[19][20]
In January 1997, Gueorgui Makharadze, a high-ranking Republic of Georgia diplomat, caused a five-car pileup on Dupont Circle near Embassy Row that killed a 16-year-old Maryland girl. Makharadze's claim of diplomatic immunity created a national outrage in the United States, particularly given Makharadze's previous record of driving offenses: in April 1996, Makharadze had been charged with speeding in Virginia, and four months later, he was detained by District of Columbia police on suspicion of drunk driving.[21] In both prior cases, charges were dismissed based on his immunity. On the basis of the media coverage, Georgia revoked Makharadze's immunity, and he was ultimately sentenced to seven years in prison after pleading guilty to one count of involuntary manslaughter and four counts of aggravated assault.[22]
In 2001, a Russian diplomat, Andrei Knyazev, hit and killed a woman while driving drunk in Ottawa. Knyazev refused to take a breathalyzer at the scene of the crash, citing diplomatic immunity.[23] Russia refused Canadian requests to waive his immunity, and Knyazev was expelled from Canada. Though the Russian Foreign Ministry fired him and charged him with involuntary manslaughter, and Russian and Canadian authorities cooperated in the investigation, the case caused a political storm in Canada. Many accused the Foreign Ministry of incompetence after it emerged that Knyazev had twice been previously investigated for drunk driving. The Canadian Foreign Minister had fought unsuccessfully to have Knyazev tried in Ottawa.[24] In 2002, Knyazev was found guilty of involuntary manslaughter in Russia.[23]
Historically, the problem of large debts run up by diplomats has also caused many problems. Some financial institutions do not extend credit to diplomats because they have no legal means of ensuring the money be repaid. Local citizens and businesses are often at a disadvantage when filing civil claims against a diplomat, especially in cases of unpaid rent, alimony, and child support.
The bulk of diplomatic debt lies in the rental of office space and living quarters. Individual debts can range from a few thousand dollars to $1 million in back rent. A group of diplomats and the office space in which they work are referred to as a diplomatic mission. Creditors cannot sue missions individually to collect money they owe. Landlords and creditors have found that the only thing they can do is contact a city agency to see if they can try to get some money back. They cannot enter the offices or apartments of diplomats to evict them because the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act says that "the property in the United States of a foreign state shall be immune from attachment, arrest and execution" (28 U.S.C. § 1609). This has led creditors who are owed money by diplomats to become more cautious about their renters and to change their rental or payment policies.
In one case, for example, officials from Zaire stopped paying rent to their private landlord and ran up $400,000 in debt. When the landlord sued, the U.S. State Department defended the Zaireans on the basis of diplomatic immunity, and a circuit court agreed. When the landlord finally cut off the utilities, the officials fled without paying their back rent. The landlords reportedly later reached an "amicable agreement" with the Zaire government.[7]
The issue of abusing diplomatic immunity in family relations, especially alimony and child support, has become so widespread that it prompted discussion at the 1995 U.N. Fourth World Conference on Women, in Beijing. Historically, the United Nations has not become involved with family disputes and has refused to garnish the wages of diplomats who owe money for child support, citing Sovereign Immunity. However, in September 1995, the incumbent head of Legal Affairs for the United Nations acknowledged there was a moral and legal obligation to take at least a partial responsibility in family disputes. Fathers working as diplomats who refused to fulfil their family-related financial duties were increasing in numbers in the United Nations: several men who had left their wives and children were still claiming U.N. dependency, travel, and education allowances for their families even though they are no longer supporting those families.[25]
Diplomats are exempt from most taxes, but not from "charges levied for specific services rendered". In certain cases, whether a payment is or is not considered a tax may be disputed, such as central London's congestion charge. In August 2009, it was reported that the Government of the UK believed the United States owed £3,500,000[26] in unpaid congestion charge fees.[27] It was reported in 2006 that the UAE embassy had agreed to pay their own accumulated charges of nearly £100,000.[28]
There is an obligation for the receiving State not to "discriminate as between states"; in other words, any such fees should be payable by all accredited diplomats equally. This may allow the diplomatic corps to negotiate as a group with the authorities of the receiving country.
Diplomats are exempt from import duty and tariffs for items for their personal use. In some countries, this has led to charges that diplomatic agents are profiting personally from resale of "tax free" goods. The receiving state may choose to impose restrictions on what may reasonably constitute personal use (for example, only a certain quantity of cigarettes per day). When enacted, such restrictions are generally quite generous so as to avoid tit-for-tat responses.
The following chart outlines the immunities afforded to foreign diplomatic personnel residing in the United States.[69] In general, these rules follow the Vienna Convention (or the New York Convention for UN officials) and apply in other countries as well (with the exceptions of immunities for United Nations officials, which can vary widely across countries based on the 'Host Country Agreement' signed between the UN and the host country, whereby additional immunities beyond those granted by the New York Convention may be established).

WANTED: Huernia zebrina magniflora
Hi all!!
If anyone would happen to have cuttings of this please contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com. Will pay for postage and whatever you want to charge for plant(IM DESPERATE) or try to work out a trade.
Thanks guys,
Cody Gambrell
Jeffery. Sorry you are having this trouble with your huernias! But they are not Easter Lily bulbs or Pointsettia plants. They don't grow, bloom, and then die. They grow and bloom and grow more and bloom and keep doing it for years. If yours do die after 1 blooming...you are doing something VERY wrong. I HAD hundreds of varieties of huernias/staplieas, until they got wiped out by a hurricane 3 years a go. Now I only have a couple of dozen, and I am trying so hard to get cuttings of Stapelias, like Gigantea, to rebuild my collection. They last for decades,if you grow them correctly,and you will have blooms several times a season. If your die that fast...it sounds like you over water a lot of your cacti. I have NEVER heard of a huernia that grows and then blooms 1 time and dies...as being natural. If there is a variety that does it, I don't want to grow it.:)

Monica S Mcfeeters's curator insight, March 19, 10:23 AM
Excerpt:A revolution in the classroom:Check facts: probably the most common use of all. Both students and teachers can now find facts within seconds. This can be very useful when explaining and debating topics.Take photos: mobile phones can be used as cameras to illustrate work and presentations.Make videos: similar to the last point. For example, videos can be used to record experiments and later include them in projects.Carry out tests: this is probably one of the most interesting and revolutionary uses of the mobile phone in the classroom. Students can now take quizzes and tests on their mobile phone that were created earlier by their teacher. In this way, teachers can gain valuable real-time insight into the knowledge of their students and the effectiveness of their teaching. To implement this technique now, download the ExamTime Mobile App for iOS or Android.Read the news: many teachers often include news articles as part of their teaching methods (for example, in Economics). With an endless amount of news gathering mobile applications, you can bring news and current affairs into the classroom in an instant.Dictionary: there are a multitude of dictionary applications that allow you to check the meaning of a word instantly.Translator: again, this can help with meaning and explanation of a foreign word just like the dictionary application.Click title to read more.....

While plate tectonics is now universally accepted, when Alfred Wegener first proposed continental drift it was it was greeted with a great deal of skepticism from the academic community. This video nicely shows how scientific advancement requires exploration and imagination, and whole lot of heart.

Good to know if you're ever immersed in another culture!! Very entertaining!
Samuel Meyer's curator insight, March 23, 12:01 PM
About 99% of the Internet is transferred by underwater cables, with the rest being interchanged through satellite. This could be an issue in the future, as the acidity and composition of the oceans will change.
Seth Forman's curator insight, March 23, 5:46 PM
Summary: This article discusses what all has to go behind globalization via the internet.
Insight: This article is very relevant to the concepts we learned in Unit 1. It shows that globalization is not as easy as it may seem because of the separation of the worlds regions.
Olivier Tabary's curator insight, March 25, 4:28 PM
And no, not everything has turned virtual! We still rely on concrete stuff. Cables network says a lot about the way our World works.
Brian Romero Smith's curator insight, October 15, 2014 2:27 PM
Great resource for a 1:1 iPad classroom/school. However, this is a great model for any 1:1 setup. You truly need to consider the Teacher/Student/Parent paradigm when deciding on applications that enhance the learning environment. Where there is not workflow vision the people will perish.
Willem Kuypers's curator insight, March 9, 2:40 AM
Je crois toujours que les tablets sont le futur pour l'enseignement supérieur. Un des problèmes sont de trouver les outils qui servent vos objectifs pédagogiques. Cette article peut aider.
Cade Bruce's curator insight, March 19, 4:32 PM
This is a perfect article for a review of the entire agriculture unit, covering agribusiness, genetic modification, hunger, and much more. This falls best under the category of Large-scale commercial agriculture and agribusiness because it describes the ways agribusiness affects agriculture, health, hunger and food waste.
Ricardo Cabeza de Vaca's curator insight, March 24, 2:29 AM
I think this article is very interesting because it is telling us to answer the questions that we always asked ourselves but never answered such as: "Where is our milk from?" This talks about world hunger, the food waste 'scandal' and organic farming. I believe we should all support famers markets and local natural farming. We should stop wasting so much food and only place on our plate how much we are going to eat. We should start thinking about the problem of world hunger and how are we going to solve it.
EduClick_España's curator insight, March 2, 7:13 AM
Every teacher knows that visual aids are a good way to facilitate the learning process and grab students' attention for a long time. Educators use different posters, videos, slideshows to explain a new topic, provide more details or even test students. Presentations take a prominent part in the visual aids collection. Their main benefit is that teachers can combine various types of content in one presentation: text, images, video clips, music. Saved in a video format, presentations can be easily shown in class, uploaded to YouTube, embedded into a school website, or shared on any other educational resource.
Several years ago, teachers had a limited choice of software to create presentations. Namely, there was only one tool for all presentation needs: Microsoft PowerPoint. With it, educators created, edited, and showed their presentations to students. The software was often non-responding in the most crucial moment. To say more, unskilled users often corrupted PPT files, did undesired edits, and simply could not show their works in incompatible school PC operating systems. Only a couple years ago, Microsoft added the possibility to save presentations in popular video formats and upload to YouTube. At the same time, there appeared a great deal of free alternatives, which allowed teachers to create video presentations much easier and faster than with PowerPoint. Here are the most prominent of them.

Supporting Farmers in Scotland Since 1893
FOUR-CYLINDERS replace six and engine size moves down from 6.7 litres to 4.5 litres, but the replacements for Landini's Landpower series, the 6Ls, promise to be just as powerful but more fuel efficient, writes Ken Fletcher.
FEEDING grazing for that valuable 'early bite' might not be easy when wet conditions make it impractical to get on the land with a traditional tractor and spreader set up, but NI company, Quad-Z, thinks it has the solution.
THE LATEST Tucson model, which will replace the popular ix-35, is seen by its maker, Hyundai, as a significant player in its expansion plans.
WITH THE 121-160hp tractor power segment now bigger in sales volume terms than either the 61-100hp or 101-120hp brackets, marking the continuing climb of average tractor size sold, the latest addition to Zetor's line-up ensures the Czech firm now has a full offering in the sector.
AN ADDITION to its strong-selling twin-disc mounted fertiliser spreader range (featured in last week's issue), a rear furrow widener for its recently-introduced ploughs and a complete new cultivator line are among the new products from arable kit specialist Amazone for 2015.
SUZUKI HAS revived the Vitara name for its new five-door compact SUV - which goes on sale in the UK from April.
VW'S TAKE on producing a 4 x 4 estate car, the Passat Alltrack, has just been given a revamp, including the choice of five revised engines.
IT'S clear that a lot of people have been awaiting the birth of Volvo's new version of its popular XC90.
SSANGYONG'S Korando pick-up has just been given added 'farmer appeal' courtesy of an increased tax-busting payload of 1050kg.
NEW HOLLAND is upping the ante in providing state-of-the-art guidance systems with its drive to equip dealers with the necessary technology.
CLAAS HAS introduced a new automatic steering system, GPS Pilot Flex, which can be quickly and easily transferred between different machines.
A NEW study has demonstrated the effectiveness of Michelin's Improved Flexion (IF) tyres at reducing soil compaction compared to a set of tread tracks.
WHEN FARMS set out to address a shortage of slurry storage capacity, minimising the volume of 'dirty' liquid generated by the daily routine is a good place to start.
A NEW research centre dedicated to bringing 'smart' agricultural machinery into wider and more productive use in UK has been opened at Harper Adams University College, Shropshire.
ORGANISERS are expecting 40,000 visitors to attend this year's LAMMA Show, which is now firmly established as the UK's largest farm machinery, equipment and agricultural services event.
WITH what is calls its new global tractor platform, Massey Ferguson recently held its 'Vision of the Future' event in Beauvais, France, to showcase the project - and old school tractor drivers will feel very much at home with its simple design ethic.
SEVERAL NEW - some of them unique - features have been included in the design of JCB's most serious stab yet at cornering a slice of the action in the competitive 150-250hp sector.
WITH ITS plans almost in place to launch a serious bid to be a full-line farm machinery manufacturer, a lot hinges on how Kubota's new headliner tractors, the M7 series, is received by the market.
THE HEAVY duty capacity of Schäffer loaders' flagship 9510T and 9530T telescopic wheel loaders, is being more than retained in their replacement eight-tonne, 9600 series, which was seen at the Highland for the first time.

Pablo Neruda
We Are Many
Of the many men whom I am, whom we are,
I cannot settle on a single one.
They are lost to me under the cover of clothing
They have departed for another city.
When everything seems to be set
to show me off as a man of intelligence,
the fool I keep concealed on my person
takes over my talk and occupies my mouth.
On other occasions, I am dozing in the midst
of people of some distinction,
and when I summon my courageous self,
a coward completely unknown to me
swaddles my poor skeleton
in a thousand tiny reservations.
When a stately home bursts into flames,
instead of the fireman I summon,
an arsonist bursts on the scene,
and he is I. There is nothing I can do.
What must I do to distinguish myself?
How can I put myself together?
All the books I read
lionize dazzling hero figures,
brimming with self-assurance.
I die with envy of them;
and, in films where bullets fly on the wind,
I am left in envy of the cowboys,
left admiring even the horses.
But when I call upon my DASHING BEING,
out comes the same OLD LAZY SELF,
and so I never know just WHO I AM,
nor how many I am, nor WHO WE WILL BE BEING.
I would like to be able to touch a bell
and call up my real self, the truly me,
because if I really need my proper self,
I must not allow myself to disappear.
While I am writing, I am far away;
and when I come back, I have already left.
I should like to see if the same thing happens
to other people as it does to me,
to see if as many people are as I am,
and if they seem the same way to themselves.
When this problem has been thoroughly explored,
I am going to school myself so well in things
that, when I try to explain my problems,
I shall speak, not of self, but of geography.

In the News: LaDainian Tomlinson signs with Jets
In the news
Tomlinson signs with Jets
LaDainian Tomlinson is bolting for the Big Apple.
The New York Jets signed the former Chargers running back to a two-year contract Sunday, adding an aging star to the NFL's top-ranked rushing offense last season.
Tomlinson's agent, Tom Condon, confirmed the signing Sunday night. The Jets had not yet announced the deal.
"He wanted to go to a team that he thought had a chance to compete for the championship," Condon told the Associated Press in a telephone interview. "He wanted to go somewhere where he had a chance to have a significant role, and so with the Jets he also was going to be very familiar with the offensive system."
The Jets reached the AFC championship game last season, eliminating Tomlinson and the Chargers along the way.
The 2006 NFL Most Valuable Player, cut last month by San Diego, chose New York over Minnesota after visiting the Vikings last Thursday. Tomlinson spent Friday with the Jets, capping it with dinner with coach Rex Ryan, general manager Mike Tannenbaum and other team officials.
The Jets went after Tomlinson hard even though he turns 31 in June, is coming off his least productive season and there are questions whether he has much left. New York apparently still saw plenty to like from Tomlinson, who ranks eighth on the NFL's career rushing list with 12,490 yards, and gave him a deal worth about $5.2 million.
Once one of the NFL's most dynamic players, Tomlinson is expected to back up second-year running back Shonn Greene, who emerged in his rookie season and made Thomas Jones expendable.
Beckham out of World Cup
David Beckham will miss the World Cup after tearing his left Achilles' tendon while playing for AC Milan. Bidding to become the first English player to appear in four World Cups, Beckham was injured without getting hit during AC Milan's 1-0 Italian League victory over visiting Chievo Verona.
With only a few minutes remaining and the score 0-0, Beckham was by himself with the ball at his feet, shifted his weight and reached a hand down to his left heel. Beckham then stood up and snapped his wrists like he was breaking a twig in half in a gesture to show the AC Milan bench he knew the tendon was broken.
"He felt the muscle begin to come up, which is a typical symptom when you break an Achilles' tendon," Milan coach Leonardo told Sky Sports. "This is a real blow."
The Cleveland Browns have traded quarterback Brady Quinn to the Denver Broncos for fullback Peyton Hillis, a former Arkansas standout, and a 2011 draft pick. Quinn's departure comes one day after the Browns agreed to terms with free agent Jake Delhomme on a two-year contract. Quinn went 3-9 in 12 starts for Cleveland, which drafted him in the first round of the 2007 draft.
The Rhodes softball team is 14-4 after winning a pair of games Sunday in Cocoa Beach, Fla. The Lynx beat Finlandia-Mich. University, 9-0, behind Sara Bowen, who homered, scored three runs and pitched a one-hitter with 15 strikeouts. Rhodes then blanked Minnesota-Crookston, 3-0, as Chelsea Peters tossed her fourth shutout of the year, a four-hitter.
Sean Avery returned from a one-game benching and scored twice to help the New York Rangers earn a key 3-1 victory over the Philadelphia Flyers at Madison Square Garden. ... Patric Hornqvist scored the tiebreaking goal with 3:31 to play, Pekka Rinne made 18 saves and the visiting Nashville Predators extended their mastery over the Los Angeles Kings with a 3-2 victory. ... Craig Anderson made 48 saves, Paul Stastny scored twice, and the visiting Colorado Avalanche rallied to beat Dallas 5-3, dealing another blow to the Stars' playoff chances.
Pascal Dupuis and Sergei Gonchar scored in a 2:57 span in the third period, and Marc-Andre Fleury made 21 saves to help the Pittsburgh Penguins beat the host Tampa Bay Lightning, 2-1. ... At Uniondale, N.Y., Richard Park scored a short-handed goal and added an assist, and Martin Biron made 26 saves in the New York Islanders' 4-1 victory over the Toronto Maple Leafs. ... Adrian Aucoin scored the shootout winner, Lee Stempniak had his sixth goal in five games with Phoenix, and the Coyotes beat the host Atlanta Thrashers, 3-2, for their fifth straight victory.
Six-time defending series champion Tony Schumacher won the NHRA Top Fuel class at the Gatornationals in Gainseville, Fla. Schumacher beat teammate Antron Brown for the 62nd Top Fuel victory of his career. Tim Wilkerson (Funny Car), Jason Line (Pro Stock) and Eddie Krawiec (Pro Stock Motorcylce) won their respective divisions. ... Australian driver Will Power won the rain-shortened IndyCar season-opener on the streets of Sao Paulo, Brazil. Power made a late overtaking move to pass American Ryan Hunter-Reay to win the inaugural Sao Paulo Indy 300 and clinch his second career victory. ... Ferrari's decision to give up on last season and begin looking ahead paid off when Fernando Alonso led the Italian team to a 1-2 finish at the season-opening Bahrain Grand Prix. The two-time world champion from Spain passed teammate Felipe Massa at the second corner after the start and then overtook pole-sitter Sebastian Vettel on the 34th lap for a lead he would never relinquish.
Manny Pacquiao dominated Joshua Clottey Saturday, retaining his WBO welterweight title by unanimous decision before a crowd of 50,994 at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas. Pacquiao capturing every round on one judge's scorecard and all but one on the other two.
