# Myths and Legends of British North America/Origin of Rivers in Queen Charlotte Islands (Haida)

ORIGIN OF RIVERS IN QUEEN CHARLOTTE ISLANDS
Haida
BEAVER lived in a beautiful house on the shore of a large lake. In the lake were salmon and on the shores were berries of all kinds.
One day Raven disguised himself as a poor, hungry person. He went to Beaver's house. Beaver was just coming home with a fish and berries. Beaver said, "What are you doing here?"
Raven said, "My father has just died. We have the same ancestors. He told me to visit you and ask for food."
Beaver believed Raven and pitied him. He told Raven to stay at home, promising to give him much food. There were always fish in the lake and ripe berries on the shores.
The next day Raven went to the lake. He rolled up the water like a blanket. He took it in his beak and flew away. He alighted on the top of a large cedar tree.
​When Beaver went out to fish, he found his lake was gone. Then Beaver called all the Beavers to help him, all the Wolves and Bears. He called also a monster Talat-adega, which has a long body, a long tail, and many legs. He asked them to throw the tree down.
The Wolves dug up the roots of the tree, Beavers gnawed the trunk of the tree. All the animals worked until the tree fell; then Raven flew to another tree.
All the animals of the forest worked hard. They tried to throw this tree down. But when it fell down, Raven flew to another tree.
After they had felled four trees, the animals said, "Please give us our chief's water. Don't make us unhappy."
But Raven only flew away. He spilled some of the water on the ground as he flew along. Thus originated all the rivers on Queen Charlotte Islands. Raven also made the Skeena and Stikine rivers.
There was a man named Kilkun at Skidegate. Kilkun said to Raven, "Give me some water!" Raven gave him only a few drops. Then Kilkun became angry and fell dead. He forms the long point of land at Skidegate.
# Myths and Legends of British North America/Origin of the Pleiades (Wyandot)

ORIGIN OF THE PLEIADES
Wyandot
A YOUNG man was out fasting. His fasting lodge stood at the end of a lake, where no one ever came. There was a broad bench on both sides.
Now, one evening he heard something. Sounds of songs, faint and distant, came to his ear. He did not know what it was. He looked everywhere. There was no one to be seen. Then the sounds were clearer. They came from the sky over the lake. The young man listened. Now he thought the voices came from the beach near by.
He crept slowly down to the lake, through the reeds and grasses. The singing grew more distant. Then through the reeds he saw seven maidens, dancing about in the light of the stars.
Then a pebble slipped under his foot. The maidens sprang into a large basket, and vanished into the sky.
Now the young man went back to his fasting lodge. The next evening he listened. The air was very still. The water was very quiet. The stars were shining. ​Then he heard again the sound of far-away voices. He heard distant songs. So he crept to the edge of the lake, through the reeds and grasses. He saw a great basket come down with the seven maidens. They danced together, under the light of the stars. The air was very quiet as they sang. Then they danced along, each dancing in turn. And one maiden was more beautiful than her sisters. Then the young man forgot; he made a sound with his voice and the maidens vanished into the sky.
Now every evening the maidens came down to dance on the beach. It was a broad beach. No one ever came to that end of the lake. They danced under the stars, when the air was still, and they sang their songs. So the young man watched them.
Now they came again, and the young man rushed among them; rushed among them as they danced when the air was quiet, and seized the most beautiful sister. Then the maidens sprang into the basket, and the young man caught the maiden, and held the basket edge with one hand. Then they fell to the earth together, and the maiden was grieved.
The maiden said, "We are seven sisters. We live in the Sky Land. Often you see us when you look into the sky. But at this season, when the air is still and the lake is quiet, we come here to dance in the starlight." She ​said also, "I cannot marry you until you come and live with me in the Sky Land."
So the young man went into the Sky Land with her. Everything there happened just as one wished it.
We know this is true, because even today the seven sisters are in the sky. Six are clearly seen, but the seventh sits back in the shadow with her husband.

# Mexico Climate Change Fact Sheet

MEXICO CLIMATE CHANGE FACT SHEET
Mexico is the second-largest greenhouse gas emitter in the Latin America and Caribbean region. The energy sector is the most significant contributor to the country’s overall greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, accounting for more than 70 percent of total emissions. The agriculture and livestock sector is an additional important source of emissions (14 percent). The forest sector in Mexico is a “net carbon sink,” removing more greenhouse gases from the atmosphere than it emits. Nearly half of Mexico is covered by forest – a total of 88 million hectares.
Mexico’s geography makes it vulnerable to extreme weather events, such as tropical cyclones and floods, that threaten the country’s aging transportation, power, and water infrastructure. Mexico’s economically important coastal tourism sector is also at risk from the effects of climate change. In rural areas where small-scale producers earn a large proportion of their income from agriculture, extreme temperatures and erratic rainfall drastically affect both crops and livestock.
GOVERNMENT OF MEXICO CLIMATE PRIORITIES
Over the last several years, the Government of Mexico has rolled back support and investment in renewable energy, prioritizing fossil fuel projects instead. In December 2020, the Government of Mexico submitted an updated Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) to the Paris Agreement that retains the same targets submitted in 2015 but does include more measures for climate adaptation and natural climate solutions. Key goals under Mexico’s NDC include:
​ USAID’S CLIMATE CHANGE PROGRAM: OBJECTIVES AND RESULTS
USAID supports the Government of Mexico’s development and climate priorities through a series of programs and partnerships promoting energy efficiency and natural climate solutions.
ENERGY EFFICIENCY
Energy efficiency measures are often among the most cost-effective ways to reduce GHG emissions in Mexico. USAID is planning to support energy efficiency collaboration at the subnational level with counterparts in city and state governments and the private sector to reduce energy consumption and cost. USAID, in partnership with the U.S. Department of Energy Laboratory System, plans to partner with subnational groups on commercial and municipal building efficiency. USAID will also explore scaling up renewable energy technical assistance and technologies in partnership with U.S. and Mexican companies, as well as subnational governments.
NATURAL CLIMATE SOLUTIONS
USAID supports Mexico’s goal to achieve net-zero deforestation by 2030 through initiatives that enhance transparency and use market based solutions to reduce deforestation and land degradation. USAID's support includes partnering with the private sector and key communities to promote sustainable value chains and working with the Government of Mexico to improve forest management systems to reduce illegal logging.

United States Supreme Court
309 U.S. 1
Miller v. Hatfield
Argued: Jan. 5, 1940. --- Decided: Jan 15, 1940
This proceeding was instituted by a farmer-debtor pursuant to Section 75 of the Bankruptcy Act, 11 U.S.C.A. § 203. Under an order of the District Court, approving an order of the conciliation commissioner, petitioner's farm was sold to one of the co-trustees of a mortgage upon the property and the sale was confirmed by the District Court.
A petition for rehearing was denied. Upon appeal to the Circuit Court of Appeals, that court found that the purchaser at the sale was not a party to the appeal and dismissed it. Petitioner sought a rehearing upon the ground that the purchaser had actual notice of the appeal and had appeared in the Court of Appeals joining in an objection to an enlargement of time for filing the record and also seeking appointment of a receiver or an additional supersedeas bond. Petitioner also asked that if it be considered that the purchaser was not already before the court, a citation should be issued to bring him in. The Court of Appeals denied both applications. Certiorari was granted, October 9, 1939, 308 U.S. 534, 60 S.Ct. 102, 84 L.Ed. --.
We are of the opinion that the action of the Court of Appeals was erroneous. If the court deemed the purchaser to be a necessary party and not before the court, the motion to issue a citation to him should have been granted. R.S. § 954, 28 U.S.C. § 777, 28 U.S.C.A. § 777; Dodge v. Knowles, 114 U.S. 430, 5 S.Ct. 1197, 29 L.Ed. 296; Id., 114 U.S. 436, 438, 5 S.Ct. 1108, 1109, 29 L.Ed. 144; Knickerbocker Life Insurance Co. v. Pendleton, 115 U.S. 339, 6 S.Ct. 74, 29 L.Ed. 432; In re Knox-Powell-Stockton Co., 9 Cir., 97 F.2d 61.
The decree is reversed and the cause is remanded to the Circuit Court of Appeals for further proceedings in conformity with this opinion.
Reversed and remanded.

# Miller v. Joseph

United States Supreme Court
84 U.S. 655
Miller v. Joseph
ERROR to the Supreme Court of Appeals of Virginia; the case being thus:
In 1868 one Joseph recovered a judgment in the Circuit Court of Rockingham County, Virginia, against a certain Miller for a sum less than $500-costs and interest included-and issued execution thereon. In 1869 Miller filed a bill in chancery in the same Circuit Court to restrain the collection of the judgment and for a new trial, making Joseph and the sheriff of that county parties. They appeared and answered. The Circuit Court, at the hearing, which was had on the pleadings, dismissed the bill.
The plaintiff then applied to the Supreme Court of Appeals of the State to allow an appeal from the decree of the Circuit Court, but that court refused to allow it. Miller then sued out of this court a writ of error to review this action of the Supreme Court of Appeals. With certain exceptions, not embracing the present case, the constitution of Virginia of 1870 does not allow an appeal in civil cases where the amount in controversy is under $500.
Mr. David Fultz, for the plaintiff in error; Messrs. Woodson and Compton, contra.
Mr. Justice FIELD delivered the opinion of the court.

* Court Documents

* Opinion of the Court
United States Supreme Court
84 U.S. 655
Miller v. Joseph
The writ of error in this case must be dismissed. The Court of Appeals of Virginia had no jurisdiction to review the decree of the Circuit Court of Rockingham County, and therefore rightfully refused to allow an appeal therefrom. The amount in controversy was less than five hundred dollars, and the constitution of Virginia, of 1870, withholds jurisdiction from the Court of Appeals in civil cases where the matter in controversy is under that sum, with certain exceptions within which the present case does not fall. The Circuit Court of Rockingham County is the highest tribunal of the State in which a decision of the case could be had, and if a writ of error to review its judgment was allowable at all from this court, it should have been issued to that court and not to the Court of Appeals.
WRIT DISMISSED.

# Montaigne's Essays/The Author to the Reader

THE AUTHOR TO THE READER
READER, loe here a well-meaning Booke. It doth at the first entrance forewarne thee, that in contriving the same I have proposed unto my selfe no other than a familiar and private end: I have no respect or consideration at all, either to thy service, or to my glory: my forces are not capable of any such desseigne. I have vowed the same to the particular commodity of my kinsfolk and friends: to the end, that losing me (which they are likely to do ere long), they may therein find some lineaments of my conditions and humours, and by that meanes reserve more whole, and more lively foster the knowledge and acquaintance they have had of me. Had my intention beene to forestal and purchase the world's opinion and favour, I would surely have adorned myselfe more quaintly, or kept a more grave and solemne march. I desire thereun to be delineated in mine own genuine, simple and ordinarie fashion, without contention, art or study; for it is myselfe I pourtray. My imperfections shall thus be read to the life, and my naturall forme discerned, so farre-forth as publike reverence hath permitted me. For if my fortune had beene to have lived among those nations which yet are said to live under the sweet liberty of Nature's first and uncorrupted lawes, I assure thee, I would most willingly have pourtrayed myselfe fully and naked. Thus, gentle Reader, myselfe am the groundworke of my booke: it is then no reason thou shouldest employ thy time about so frivolous and vaine a subject. Therefore farewell. From Montaigne, the First of March, 1580.

Sir Henry Billingsley,
Mathematician,
Was the son of Roger Billingsley, of Canterbury, where he was born about 1550. Though educated at Oxford, he was subsequently apprenticed to a haberdasher in the City of London, in which business he acquired a fortune, and was in 1596 elected Lord Mayor, and knighted. On the suppression of the monasteries by Henry VIII., he took into his household one Whitehead, an Augustine Friar, at Oxford, an eminent mathematician, with whom he read, and made great progress in the science. On Whitehead's death he made a translation of Euclid's Elements, with notes taken from MSS., which Whitehead had bequeathed to him, and with observations of his own, and published the whole with a preface by Dr. John Dee, 1570. He died 22nd November, 1606.

Sir Henry Sidney,
STATESMAN AND JUDGE,
Was born at Penshurst, which had been granted to his father, Sir William Sidney, by Edward VI. He was a student at New College, Oxford, in 1513, and was afterwards a favourite of Edward VI., who knighted him, and who, at last, expired in his arms. Queen Mary made him collector of the revenues in Ireland, and on Elizabeth's accession he became lord president of the Marches of Wales, and a knight of the Garter. In 1568 he was sent as lord deputy to Ireland. He died at Penshurst in 1586. He was a man of great integrity. He promoted the printing of the Irish Statutes, and some of his letters to his son, the famous Sir Philip, have been printed.
