I have been putting off getting a Creative Commons license to protect my blog content because I didn’t know how to go about it, but it was just a matter of filling in a form and choosing which license I needed and copying and pasting HTML code into a box!

I want to share the information on my blog with fellow researchers and anyone who is just curious, but I don’t want to have it used to promote a company or product, so I decided on this license option:

Attribution-Noncommercial-No Derivative Works 3.0 Unported.

With the understanding that:

• Waiver — Any of the above conditions can be waived if you get permission from the copyright holder.
• Public Domain — Where the work or any of its elements is in the public domain under applicable law, that status is in no way affected by the license.
• Other Rights — In no way are any of the following rights affected by the license:
  • Your fair dealing or fair use rights, or other applicable copyright exceptions and limitations;
  • The author’s moral rights;
  • Rights other persons may have either in the work itself or in how the work is used, such as publicity or privacy rights.
• Notice — For any reuse or distribution, you must make clear to others the license terms of this work. The best way to do this is with a link to this web page.

As I have other persons’ work on my site (my mother’s poetry, guest posts, etc.), I felt that the best way to protect it was to use this Non-Derivative license because I don’t want to see my mother’s poetry set to music or altered in any way without my knowledge or permission. You may choose other less restricted options for your site here: Creative Commons Licenses. If I’d known how easy it was to get my license I would have gotten it a long time ago.

One of the things that I have been grappling with for quite some time is the whole notion of licences for ontologies. Of course, neither I – nor anybody else for that matter, should have to worry about this. But the world is the way it is and so the question is: what would an appropriate licence for an ontology be? The answer to that question would mainly depend on what an ontology actually is. Is it a piece of software? Is it a database? A structured document (whatever that means in the context of licensing)?

I have spent quite some time talking to my colleagues about this and we haven’t been able to come up with a satisfactory answer. Even emailing the good folks at the Open Knowledge foundation did not ellicit a response. Now, it seems that the Science Commons have made an attempt to provide some answers on their website.

They state that whether an ontology is protected by copyright law will mainly depend on whether the ontology “contains a sufficient degree of creative expression” or whether it draws entirely on fact. In the latter case, it might not be protected. Now such a statement in itself is intriguing – in the communities in which I and many of the Science Commons people tend to spend most of my time, ontologies are usually understood to be representational artefacts, “whose representational units are intended to designate universals in reality and the relations between them.” Just how much “creative expression” that would allow is an interesting debate in itself, which is probably best had in the pub. But I digress.

Science Commons then goes on to quote some legal precedence in which US courts have upheld copyright in medical ontologies. So really, we don’t know. Science Commons then counsels “pre-emptive” licencing: if in doubt, slap a Creative Commons licence on your ontology (CC0 is explicitly recommended) – if it is later found that copyright cannot subsist in ontologies and that your licence is therefore invalid, you haven’t lost anything, but if it turns out that copyright does indeed subsist in an/your ontology, your bottom is covered. small surprise, too, that the Science Commons would wish to promote the licences of their sister organisation the Creative Commons.

Again, I am not convinced that Creative Commons Licences are an appropriate form of licence for ontologies any more than I am convinced that the GPL licence attached to ChemAxiom is an entirely appropriate licence for an ontology. I would be interested in what the OKF experts have to say about this. The bottom line, for now at least, seems to be that we just won’t know until someone does a lot of deep thinking or it will be tested in court.

Any comments and opinions would be extremely welcome!

Today I found Wordle, a totally accidental discovery as I was really hunting for pictures of gauntlets — go figure!

Here you see a word cloud created from some of the words from this blog.

Wordle allows you to:

• choose an oval or square shape for the overall cloud
• choose the orientation of the words
• customize colours
• choose from a variety of fonts (example at left used “Loved by the King” font)
• type words, paste them in from another source or have it access a web site (has to have Atom or RSS feed)

And, the creators are GENEROUS!!!    from the FAQ section, “The images you create with Wordle are yours to use in any way you choose. You may print T-Shirts, business cards, brochures, what have you.”  … “

You may take a Wordle, put it on your book cover, your t-shirt, your campaign poster, what have you. You may get rich off it. Just tell people how you made the image, or, if you’re using one from the gallery, where you got it.

If you use a screen-capture, PDF, or other image representation of a Wordle on this site, you must attribute the image to http://www.wordle.net/.” … and there’s more you can read re their Creative Commons License.

People hate technology. They really do.

Of course, this is a vast generalization, and really what I mean is that businesspeople hate technology. But even that’s not true, because plenty of businesspeople out there embrace it and use it for exactly its intended purpose – to provide a new way of providing something consumers want, and in exchange, receiving monetary profit.

Which means that it’s not that businesspeople hate technology, it’s that business-dinosaurs hate technology, because they’re too blind to realize that change is inevitable, so they should embrace it and figure out a way to incorporate it into their business model.

And for some reason, well-established artists seem to be least creative when it comes to inventing ways to take advantage of technology, because they’re so incredibly stuck in the old paradigm of Intellectual Property. I wrote about this several months ago, and as a self-published author of a fantastic book who’s completely loused up the marketing process, it’s something I think about quite often.

In response to how much easier it is to copy and distribute art today than it was even 10 years ago, an organization called Creative Commons has created a “some rights reserved” license, a.k.a. the Creative Commons license, which lets the copyright-owner choose the conditions upon which copying and redistribution are permitted.

By now, most people are aware, at least vaguely, of the existence of the Creative Commons license. Many, I suspect, still haven’t seriously considered using it. Why? Because using this license requires throwing out all the books you’ve read that tell you how to break into the business. It requires a D.I.Y. approach to publishing, and it requires trusting that if you give someone something for free, the money will flow in your direction. Stephen King tried this approach nine years ago, and it was ultimately unsuccessful. Fair enough – he’s already got a model that works for him.

But Cory Doctorow recently published a column in Publisher’s Weekly about how he’s done exactly that. Here’s someone who clearly has no problem coming up with ingenuitive ways of marketing his work, and has reaped the rewards as a result.

I think we can all learn a lesson from Cory Doctorow, Diablo Cody, Stephen Elliott, and the other mad artists working in the world of modern technology. Come up with something new, and dedicate your time to it.

Because the more time I spend in this business, the more I realize that there are few things harder than finishing a book – but marketing that book happens to be one of them.

¿Alguién sabe que es Blender?

Bueno para que no se queden en la ignorancia (chic@s Mac), Blender es un programa de código abierto para diseño, animación y texturizado en 3D, principalmente dirigido para plataformas Linux y Windows, programado por el Blender Institute.

Ahora dirán: “uuuuhhh que chafa, si es para Windows de seguro ha de estar medio gacho el programita…eh… yo me quedo con mi Mac”

Bueno dejenme decirles que están en un predicamento visual por el siguiente cortometraje:

Iniciado como un proyecto de la misma companía que trajo al mundo Blender, “Big Buck Bunny” [Nombre Código: P.E.A.C.H.] fué creado totalmente en este software y patrocinado tanto por la misma Fundación [Fundación Blender], los integrantes del staff [Instituto Blender], como todos aquellas personas de buena fé que quisieron cooperar tanto desinteresadamente como también en la pre-venta del DVD , todo para apoyar la causa de la licencia de Creative Commons ( Que es una licencia que avala los derechos de autor pero de manera maleable siempre y cuando se dé cierto crédito a los creadores y no se use por persons ajenas para algún beneficio económico,¿capicci?)

Big Buck Bunny trata la historia de un ENORME CONEJO BLANCO ( muy lindo en verdad :3) de gran corazón que verá su día en el bosque transtornado por un trío de ardillas que no buscan nada bueno y a los cuales dará su merecido.

Con estreno en Abril del 2008, esta maravilla de animación demuestra que no solo es posible hacer algo de la nada, sino que con ganas podemos crear algo innovador con lo más sube stimado.

Hey there! Today, I’m writing to you from deep inside a top secret location. By top secret, I mean my couch at home. And by deep inside, I mean I’m currently huddled under a massive blanket with only my arms poking out to type this. It turns out I have the flu. While I entertained the thought of coming in to work anyway, my coworkers tend to appreciate it if sick people stay home rather than infect the whole office. Besides, the last senior writer to come in sick vanished somewhat mysteriously.

But never fear, TechStuff fans — even though I may be ravaged by the flu, the show must go on. That’s why I’m here to tell you about two of our latest episodes of TechStuff. I think we have a couple of real gems this week. And for those of you who haven’t been listening, go and download a few episodes or listen to them here on our streaming podcast player.

On Monday, Chris and I talked about television cables. We explain the different kinds of cables you’d use to hook up your various pieces of equipment to your television. Which ones are the best? Is an HDMI cable better than S-video? Why are composite video cables red, white and yellow while component video cables are red, blue and green? Note: that last one was a trick question. For people overwhelmed by the choices they face when it comes time to set up a home theater system, this episode can help you narrow down your choices.

Wednesday’s episode featured a discussion only tangentially related to technology: the creative commons license versus copyright. You might wonder why two tech guys are talking about legal language meant to distribute or protect intellectual property. It’s all because of the Internet. Before the Internet, distributing your work on a wide scale required a lot of time, money and effort. But the Internet changed all that — now you can publish your own book and distribute it across the globe just by hosting a file on a Web site.

This capability has ushered in a new era of self-publication. With that new era come new problems. For example, some people want their work spread out as far and wide as possible. They want other people to take their work and modify it into new creative pieces. But copyright law doesn’t cover that. It’s meant to protect the owner’s rights to the creative material. That’s where the creative commons license comes into play. It gives creators options to license their works to other people in many different ways. It doesn’t replace or negate copyright law — it supplements it. You can learn much more from our episode so be sure to listen!

And if our episodes don’t go into enough detail for you, I have a great solution: HowStuffWorks.com! Check out our articles on home theater and intellectual property.

How To Get the Most From Your HDTV
How HDMI Works
How Copyrights Work

When you are publishing a picture book or a book of photos, it is just highly recommended that you consider getting a copyright. Copyrighting is similar to getting a license to post your photos and give you free reign to do whatever with it.

Getting the copyright for your photos in your picture book will require a few suggestions. Although some photographers include a copyright notice in the footer of their photo, these sometimes go unnoticed and even not validated by many as legal. Even if they overlay their notice with a watermark, there are rules to consider when one tries to copyright0

How to Properly Copyright Your Photos:
1.    Place the copyright symbol: ©
2.    Never miss placing the year, or more precisely the date of your photo’s publication
3.    Include your professional photography business name

Ex:
Copyright © 2009 Gianna Photography

KINDS OF RIGHTS:

“…The present law drops the renewal feature except for works already in the first term of statutory protection when the present law took effect. Instead, the present law permits termination of a grant of rights after 35 years under certain conditions by serving written notice on the transferee within specified time limits…”
- U.S. Copyright Office

1.    Exclusive Photo Rights – The buyer is guaranteed exclusive rights to your material. No other vendor or publication could use your images. This exclusion could be further defined in a specific market, product sector, or geographical location. Certain flexibility could be negotiated to grant you more leverage. Example: A major wedding magazine wishes to exclusively purchase the rights to your image to be used for their summer magazine cover. You are prohibited from selling your image to any other competing online or offline wedding-centric publications. However, you may still sell your images to another market, such as a greeting card company.

2.    One Time or Lease Rights – Your photo may be licensed for usage for a certain period of time, or a predefined number of usages.

3.    Electronic or Online Media Rights – Your photos may be included in electronic format (CD, DVD), or be displayed on an online media website. You may wish to embed digital metadata in your photos. (for related info on metadata, refer to article: Protect Your Privacy When Sharing Photos)

4.    Print Rights – Your photos may be published via traditional print media or publications.

5.    All Rights – You surrender all rights to your photos permanently, or for a specified duration.

6.    First Rights – This is similar to obtaining a One Time Right to your photo, but the buyer often pays extra to procure the privilege to be the first to feature your work.

7.    Transfer Rights – Under special circumstances, you can transfer the copyright of your image to someone else. Be on the lookout for such hidden clause in certain client contracts, and stay vigilant on copyright renewals. The U.S. law currently only covers copyright transfer ownership rights for 35 years:

8.    Work for Hire – Your photos belong to your employer, either automatically, or declared in contract. If you agree to a Work for Hire clause, negotiate to your best ability to balance the loss of your photography copyright ownership.

In most parts of the world, including the U.S., Canada, EU countries, and Japan, you are automatically granted copyrights to your photos. However, the nonprofit Creative Commons offers six default licenses as an alternative to full copyright so you can choose the one that best suits your needs. Source: Flickr.

Remember that you can only copyright images that you own. This means you can’t copyright images that you’ve taken from somewhere else! Additionally, just because an image does not have a Creative Commons license attached to it, doesn’t mean that it is public domain.

You can actually get free information about publishing your photography here.

No reason to panic if your group’s left out.  It’s just some other group’s turn.

8Asians.com » KFC vs. KGC: WTF???.

As you all know, a lot of people, creative in art or not so much, create and use ASCII art ranging from the complex (machines, sceneries, human faces) to the trivial ones (faces, smileys: (^)__(^) d(o)_(o)b ). Now I’ve been looking around the Internet for a Vulcan salute ASCII art that really appeals to me. I mention appeal because the Vulcan salute ASCII arts I’ve seen so far are not so convincing, i.e. they don’t really look very much like the real salute (of course this is obviously a subjective thing).

Some of the Vulcan salute ASCII arts I’ve found are the following:

This one involves an underscore followed by 2 forward and backward slashes (source: http://www.geocities.com/dronak/smileys.html)

_\\//

This next one has one version similar to the above art, while the other version uses a “les than” symbol ‘<’ to introduce the thumb (source: http://en.allexperts.com/e/e/em/emoticon.htm)

<\V/ or \V/_

As I’ve mentioned, I’m quite displeased with the above Vulcan salute ASCII art and so I created my own versions. The following are my two versions with specifications describing them and how they are made:

My version 1

_\\//()

\V/,

Specifications: This version uses backward and forward slashes to represent the pinky and the index finger, respectively, while the capital letter ‘V’ represents the ring and middle finger. Lastly, a comma represents the thumb. I used the comma for the thumb, and not an underscore like the above versions, since the thumb is usually not angled that much from the index finger in a usual Vulcan salute. In my version the forward slash (index finger) has a much smaller angle/opening with respect to the comma (thumb) compared to using a forward slash with an underscore. The smaller angle/opening is in my opinion, the correct form of the Vulcan salute as shown by Spock in this image.

My version 2

\\//,

Specifications: This is quite similar to the first  version I mentioned at the start of this post. That is, slashes represent the four fingers with the exception of the thumb. The differentiator is also the comma representing the thumb, which again has a look closer to the way a Vulcan salute is done.

License

Finally, I license my 2 ASCII art versions of the Vulcan salute under the following Creative Commons licenses listed here:

• Attribution (by): Licensees may copy, distribute, display and perform the work and make derivative works based on it only if they give the author or licensor the credits in the manner specified by these.
• Noncommercial or NonCommercial (nc): Licensees may copy, distribute, display, and perform the work and make derivative works based on it only for noncommercial purposes.
• ShareAlike (sa): Licensees may distribute derivative works only under a license identical to the license that governs the original work. (See also copyleft.)

That is, under the Attribution + Noncommercial + ShareAlike (by-nc-sa) licenses of Creative Commons.

Comments and suggestions are welcome as long as they are calm and ruly.

And, as is the customary farewell among Vulcans,

Live long and prosper \V/,

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS

1. 1. Taking 5 deep breaths
2. 2. Enhancing Sensory Powers
3. 3. Book List

Taking 5 deep breaths—Twice or thrice a day and at bedtime.

Can be done at home, office even in travel.

Sit back relax in chair or sofa or lie down in the bed in a comfortable position without any strain on the body.

Cross your feet at ankles crossed over each other, both the palms over each other placed 6 inches below the throat in the center of the chest.

Now close your eyes and take 5 long deep breaths and simply relax feeling your Breath for atleast five to ten minutes.

You will get deeper and deeper into meditativeness on its own accord. Do not open your eyes till the time you feel to do so; but try and have sufficient time to enjoy the Bliss pouring in.

Every night when you go to bed practice this and you will spend the entire night in deep meditativeness.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS, continued

If you are in a rush even then just close your eyes for two minutes and take 5 deep breaths. It will align you and improve your focus and your surrounding atmosphere will also align to your requirement.

If there is a question you can easily get answer by taking 5 deep breaths. Asking for guidance; giving it some time and then relaxing as CHITIJI says:

“WAIT WATCH AND FEEL. YOU HAVE IT ALL IN YOU”.

Introduction of CHITI

LIFE MANAGEMENT ORGANIZATION

Is the ENERGY which is In-Charge of managing and co-ordinating with all the other working factors in the creation, offering them a helping hand to finally Organize a NEW LIFE of Love Peace and Unity for all the members of this beautiful Earth Planet.It is not a religious or a spiritual organization, it is a Phenomena about our Evolution as a Human Being to rise into the Higher Perfection of Life.

LIFE MANAGEMENT ORGANIZATION
is headed by our Friend and Guide
CHITIJI
from whose photograph you must have felt the Presence of some other kind of LOVE emanating.

CHITI means Pure Consciousness the Life Force Itself. In 1979 it so happened that with the Grace of the Living Life Force Mrs. Amarjeet kaur Sawhney, a leading business figure in Delhi, India, a Loving wife and a mother of three children became ONE with the Living Life Force; which gave birth to an entirely New Being who could not only Love the immediate family but Embrace the Whole WORLD.

So from the field of Interior Designing and Furniture making for the cream of the Industrial Houses in the Country for over twenty five years; there happened a 180 degree turn, a somersault, from the outer interior to the Inner Interior in the very body of our cells to find the secret for an Everlasting Life of LOVE PEACE and JOY that is to say the Ageless Body and the Timeless Matter.

Being mostly occupied since then only with one concern, of how to remove the pain and the misery of Life ? How the human will become the Hu-Man the man of LOVE and LIGHT. CHITIJI has finally come out of her years of seclusion to Grace us with the Real THING.

Introduction to the Programme
Intensive Initiations
Audio – Visual Show
Duration 3 Hrs.

It is not a discourse as we know but a direct Intervention of the High Energy Substance called the “SUPRAMENTAL” into our system , into every cell of ours a direct transfer of Supramental Power by CHITIJI who is also known as HAZUR which means OMNIPRESENT ever present everywhere. This energy transfer will take place as we watch the video , which would transform us to give birth to a new YOU , to the New Civilization ; to the New Race which will be full of perfection with LOVE PEACE UNITY and having the knowledge of the whole Cosmos ; our house in which we live .

The Supramental Being will have a command of a king capable of changing All That which is against the Harmony of Life so that one can not only bring the abundance in ones own life but be effective in the outer world as well.

“SUPRAMENTAL” basically means the force from Beyond the Beyond the Highest Aspect of Life above the Highest form of the Mind.

All this is rather new to you quite unheard of ; its not about intellectual understanding or any kind of contemplative phenomena but its purely an
Experience to be felt deep inside you as the Supramental Energy penetrates so easily without any difficulty in the very depth of your cells.

Know that It is being done unto you ; All by Itself.

There will be slides and audio – visuals which may at times continue to remain on screen from one to five minutes but just relax in your chair ; wait watch and feel.

Such a kind of Outpouring of Grace , with the Height of the higher vibrations is taking place perhaps for the first time in the history of our beloved Earth Planet.

You will feel the changes in yourself in terms of inner peace and comfort , command and authority over the worldly matters. We as the SUPRAMENTALISED BEINGS will not only be capable of bringing the right changes in our life but we can certainly change the whole world to make it a better place to live .

So now as we know we are in the happening all that one need to do is just sits back relax and Enjoy the SHOW.

On Monday, July 27th, 2009, we held the first Intensive of  Supramental Energy Activation In America.

IT IS AN EXPERIENCE  OF LOVING THAT WE CAN ALL SHARE.

Thank You Beloved CHITIJI.

__________________________________________________________________________________________

If you have a website and and you are using a CC License there is a new tool, still on Beta,  that helps you keep track of what was copied from your website plus something that I find really great:

Try going here and copy some text and then paste into a text editor.

Neat no?

Tynt’s Tracer Beta is what is behind this. A small JS script that you paste on your footer.php* actually adds your licensing terms to all of the content on your website: text, images, audio files, etc

Not only that, Tracer allows you to, via its DashBoard to keep in track what content was copied.

All you need to get Tracer up and running is to register your domain, choose your license and you are all set.

All you need to do now is to follow the instructions to include the script on your website.

After that you have access to a Dashboard that will help you identify several things:

You can find the Top Words:

“Top Words displays the top copied words on your entire site. The list can help you better identify keywords for search engine optimization and helps you trend what topics are the most popular site wide.“

And  Top Pages:

“Top Pages lists the web pages on your site that have the most tracer activity on them. You can sort pages by any of the stats columns by clicking on the header. Click on any ‘Page’ listed to get the detailed information on that specific page.

* Unique Actions – the first time a user selects or copies something, per page view
* Copies – the total number of times users have copied from this page
* Generated Traffic – the number of visits to this page resulting from a tracer generated link, plus the number of pages visited afterwards
* Page Views – how many page views this page has received

Pages high in unique actions reflect content that users are engaging with on your site. Pages with high page views, but low unique actions, reflect content that users are not engaging with.“

You can also find the Top Images dashboard.

By clicking on any link on the Top Pages board will take you to a detailed summary of that post.

If you click on the “HeatMap” button, inside the page detail, you are taken to the page on your website with highlights of the content that was copied from it.

Another interesting thing that I have found is  that , if you are using the Twitter for WordPress plug-in, Tracer will also manage the RTs that were made from those Tweets.

Still on Beta there is still a lot to be implemented on Tracer. But the beauty of it is that to catch such a tool at his phase of development will make you have input on the most wanted features.

* There is a very easy to follow instructions FAQ for other blogging systems than WordPress.

I was reading a Blogging Tips article, Why You Should Track Your Content, this morning and it occurred to me that I knew nothing about copyrighting my work or allowing the freedom to republish it. I take a lot of my information from many sites and I would hate to think that I would ever be considered a plagiarist. I firmly believe in supporting each others work and will always endeavor to correctly cite my work.

From another article a week ago I learnt about Google Alerts and how you can RSS feed any topic. I decided to stalk myself online using my name and the name of this blog as the alert topics; so far the results are predictably only pertaining to what I write since not enough people know about me to talk about me.

I trust this will change but it did lead me to wonder what I would/ could do if I did learn that someone had plagiarised what I had written, how would I feel? Perhaps I’d privately say an expletive or two and then tactfully suggest the author remove impermissible content but really without set guidelines for others to follow what could I do?

Thankfully Creative Commons provides the outlet for all our legal publishing needs.

What is Creative Commons?

CC is a nonprofit organization: We work to increase the amount of creativity (cultural, educational, and scientific content) in “the commons” — the body of work that is available to the public for free and legal sharing, use, re-purposing, and remixing.

CC provides free, easy-to-use legal tools: Our tools give everyone from individual creators to large companies and institutions a simple, standardized way to grant copyright permissions to their creative work. The Creative Commons licenses enable people to easily change their copyright terms from the default of “all rights reserved” to “some rights reserved.”

CC Licenses work alongside copyright: Creative Commons licenses are not an alternative to copyright. They work alongside copyright, so you can modify your copyright terms to best suit your needs. We’ve collaborated with intellectual property experts all around the world to ensure that our licenses work globally.

What Are the Different Licenses?

• Attribution: allowing others to distribute, remix, tweak, and build upon your work, even commercially, as long as they credit you for the original creation;
• Attribution Share Alike: allowing others to remix, tweak, and build upon your work even for commercial reasons, as long as they credit you and license their new creations under the identical terms;
• Attribution No Derivatives: allowing redistribution, commercial and non-commercial, as long as it is passed along unchanged and in whole, with credit to you;
• Attribution Non Commercial: allows others to remix, tweak, and build upon your work non-commercially, and although their new works must also acknowledge you and be non-commercial, they don’t have to license their derivative works on the same terms;
• Attribution Non Commercial Share Alike: allows others to remix, tweak, and build upon your work non-commercially, as long as they credit you and license their new creations under the identical terms but they can also translate, make remixes, and produce new stories based on your work;
• Attribution Non Commercial Non Derivatives: allows others to download your work and share it with others as long as they mention you and link back to you, but they can’t change them in any way or use them commercially.

What can you do if your CC Licensed work is not enforced?

We (CC) are not permitted to provide legal advice or legal services to assist anyone with enforcing Creative Commons licenses. We are not a law firm. We’re much like a legal self-help site that offers free form-based legal documents for you to use however you see fit.

I think if contacting the author is not a sufficient solution then it depends on what your work is and how attached you are to it. Personally, it’s difficult to know since I firmly believe that most people are informed enough about plagiarism to know not to do it but I think a putting a disclaimer on my original work linking to the plagiariser and stating the facts may act as an incentive to remove the work. If not, seeking international legal advice if not out of the question either.

You can now see the new header tab that I’ve added to this site: CC License that outlines my own license and how you can use my information.

Auf ihrer Seite Law-Podcasting bringt die Hamburger Rechtsanwaltskanzlei Dr. Bahr in regelmäßigen Abständen Podcasts rund um das deutsche Recht heraus. Die neuesten Beiträge des Audio-Blogs befassen sich mit den Creative Commons Lizenzen, die auch in unserer Galerie für die eigenen Fotos vergeben werden können. Da die Thematik sehr umfassend ist, wurde sie in drei separate Podcasts aufgeteilt, die zwischen vier und sechs Minuten lang sind. Der erste Part befasst sich mit der Entstehung und der Anwendbarkeit im deutschen Rechtsraum.

Since last 2 to 3 days The Being in the Matter Body is feeling elevated. This Elevation feeling has been there since past 1 year,  it has been coming and going but now it seems to have settled as an Elevated Being  (Awareness ).

Since 2 days even the Matter is feeling elevated.

It is making the body awareness grounded.

It is to work in the worldly way is becoming very difficult for the body.

It can be nothing for example I can’t do anything ; taking a cup of  tea or a plate of food I can’t even lift it in this phase of work.

This is a New Happening in the New Specie Body  Matter, Consciousness and Awareness.

Let it be recorded and let it be heard by others.This is the further Step of the

New Specie Creation.
