Organization of CC Jurisdiction Projects: Overview, Comparisons & Challenges ...Haggen So
The document provides an overview of the organization of Creative Commons jurisdiction projects in Hong Kong, which was launched in October 2008. It is led by professors and legal experts from the University of Hong Kong with support from staff, bloggers, radio stations, Wikipedians and other free and open source communities. It received pre-launch funding from individuals and organizations, and plans to continue developing relationships with educational institutions to promote Creative Commons use and curriculum. The challenges include gaining wider acceptance and securing steady resources with the goal of further establishing Creative Commons in Hong Kong in the next three years.
This document lists the 16 most common words in the English language: the, of, and, a, to, in, is, you, that, it, he, was, for, on, are, as. These words are known as the instant words because they appear very frequently in written English texts.
The document summarizes the French and Indian War from 1754 to 1763 between Britain and France over control of North America. Key events included the joining of forces by American colonists and the British against their common enemies, the French and Indian forces. While this created unity among the colonies for the first time, it also increased tensions between the colonists and British due to differences in military organization, financing, and discipline. The war ultimately resulted in a British victory with the 1763 Treaty of Paris, but it greatly enlarged Britain's debt and contempt for the colonials, fueling discontent that would contribute to the American Revolution.
This document discusses the differences between the current commercial web model, which is top-down and focused on targeting and controlling users, and an emerging model of personal democracy and user-driven relationships online. It advocates for a shift to a more equal, user-driven model where individuals can control how their data is used and shared through tools like VRM that put the user in the driver's seat regarding their online interactions and data disclosure.
The document discusses the history and evolution of online advertising, from early non-tracking based ads to the current tracking-based adtech system. It notes key events like the rise of interest in Do Not Track policies and browsers adding tracking protection. The document argues that ad blocking has increased in response to widespread internet surveillance and tracking by advertisers. It suggests a framework for distinguishing between respectful/disrespectful and acceptable/unacceptable kinds of ads.

During World War II, over 120,000 Japanese Americans were forcibly relocated and detained in internment camps across the United States. In 1942, President Franklin D. Roosevelt issued Executive Order 9066, which led to Japanese Americans being evacuated from their homes and detained without due process. Ten internment camps were established in remote locations, including Manzanar in California, where families were housed in overcrowded barracks surrounded by barbed wire fences under armed guard. Life in the camps was difficult, as internees lived in poor conditions with little privacy or amenities while struggling with inadequate medical care and racism.
Mattin the snail lived in the mountains and got lost during one of his walks. He ended up in a boy's bag and was transported to a new home. Mattin explored and enjoyed his new warm home for a year until the owners brought a new animal that Mattin did not recognize and was afraid of. However, the animal ended up befriending Mattin instead of harming him, and they lived as friends in the home from that point on.
This document provides a simplified tutorial for creating a massive explosion effect in Blender. It describes using the displace modifier on raw mesh objects to simulate the shockwave, rising hot gases, and fireball of a nuclear explosion. Texture animations controlled by empty objects are used to displace the meshes and simulate the rolling effect of warm gases. Materials with multiple textures reacting to animated lamps inside the fireball create the burning effect. Halos are added using spots parented to the fireball and sized by IPO curves.
Tullamore is a town located in County Offaly, Ireland. It was originally called Tulach Mhór in Irish and was anglicized under British rule. Some key facts about Tullamore's history include that the Moore family was given land there during the First British Plantation in the 1570s. In 1829, the Tullamore Distillery opened and produced Tullamore Dew whiskey. In the late 1930s, Tullamore General Hospital was built to provide employment. Main industries included malting, distilling, stone quarrying and distribution. Nearby Charleville Castle dates back to 1798-1812 and is considered one of Ireland's most haunted sites.

A União Europeia está preocupada com o impacto ambiental do plástico descartável e planeja proibir itens como talheres, pratos, copos e canudos plásticos até 2021. A proibição visa reduzir a poluição plástica nos oceanos e promover alternativas mais sustentáveis. Os países da UE terão até 2021 para implementar as novas diretrizes.

This document discusses various pollution problems affecting both the environment and human health. It notes that almost everyone contributes to air pollution and provides examples of pollution's impacts like fish dying in China's Donghu Lake and people contracting diseases from pollutants. It also explains that cars burning gas release exhaust into the atmosphere and mentions efforts to curb pollution through developing more eco-friendly vehicles that use less gas or electricity. The document stresses the importance of reducing littering and developing advanced vehicles to help address global warming caused by the greenhouse gas effect trapping gases in the atmosphere.
