BTROUBLE W

i read about this virus within the last 7 days but cannot remember where on the web i read it, it described a flu like virus mainly found in third world countries and their were references to fecal matter pertaining to part of the contamination creating the virus...please help soon, my father and his wife have some of the symptoms i think i read but i cannot be sure, they live in Florida and they are in a more likely contaminate area due to their florida location.

Please someone, help me, my fathers wife has had the virus for almost 2 weeks, now she is slowly getting better, but now my father has, the same symptoms fever, chills, headache, loose stools, nausea,vomiting, etc.his Dr. has said that he has seen a few cases like theirs but that for this time of year this kind of illness is very rare, and his Dr.is not sure what this illness is either, except that it is a flu like virus.

my Daddy is almost 70, i need answers as soon a possible...thank you so very much

i have this painting but i dont know who to contact to determine the actual atist or its value. is there a catalogue at a library that will have this artist works in it? how about a site that i can access online with out having to join a group or organization?..i found "artwork" site but i had to join the organization and i dont see the need to do that. what about a reputable person to contact to appraise it?

would sotherbys be a good idea?

this water color painting is approx. 30x30 a summer scene of a lake surrounded by tall trees on the Left bank(facing pic.) w/cattails and wildflowers along the same side on the bank,across the lake a small grassy bank area backed by trees all around the picture looks like you would be looking back into a secluded lake, there is no water movement, the trees,sky clouds etc. are reflected in the still water,no animals or people of any type appear in this painting. primary colors are greens blues,yellow white etc.the artist signed the painting in the lower left hand corner i believe the letters are "I" or "L" Gan,"T", or "F" lrioun. Painting was inherited by me from an Aunt who owned a antiques furniture store for years. please advise thank you for your time and assistance
