  • In the Early 2000S, the Music Industry Was Shocked When Internet Users Started Sharing Copyrighted Works Through Peer-To-Peer Networks Such As Napster
    In the early 2000s, the music industry was shocked when Internet users started sharing copyrighted works through peer-to-peer networks such as Napster. Software such as Napster made it very easy for people with digital copies of recorded music to share these digital copies with other users. The industry reacted by suing Napster and users of the software that allowed the digital sharing. While the industry’s lawsuits seemed like a reasonable reaction to this epidemic, it should have immediately established an online marketplace for digital music. Eventually, Apple did address the issue by releasing iTunes. Since the introduction of iTunes, the recording industry has seen a rise in profits. Users are willing to pay for digital music as long as the access to it is simple. However, these digital downloads from legal marketplaces are not actually sales; the purchases are actually licenses to the music. This means that a user who purchases a song cannot resale the song in a secondary marketplace because the first sale exception does not apply to licensed material. Courts have given the software and recording industry great power to control their copyrighted work, but it seems ridiculous that a user who purchases a song cannot sell their song when they no longer care to listen to it. The problem for the recording industry lies in the fact that the digital recording of the work is very easy to copy and transfer. If sales in the secondary market were allowed, one could easily make a digital copy then make then resale the original. It is very hard to track whether a copy of the work is still located on a hard drive, cloud, or other storage device.

  • Light Commercial and General Aviation Chair: Gerald S
    A1J03: Committee on Light Commercial and General Aviation Chair: Gerald S. McDougall, Southeast Missouri State University Light Commercial and General Aviation Growth Opportunities Will Abound GERALD W. BERNSTEIN, Stanford Transportation Group DAVID S. LAWRENCE, Aviation Market Research The new millennium offers numerous opportunities for light commercial and general aviation. The extent to which this diverse industry can take advantage of these opportunities depends on our ability to: (1) maintain steady, albeit slow, economic growth; (2) undertake research and development of new and enhanced technologies that improve performance and lower costs, (3) forge alliances and approach aircraft production from a total system perspective; and (4) develop and maintain an air traffic system (facilities and control) that is able to efficiently accommodate the expected growth in demand for all categories of air travel. The greatest challenge for the industry is whether government policies and regulations continue to adhere to fiscal and monetary policies that promote economic growth worldwide and provide the necessary investments in our air traffic system to reduce congestion and avoid the distorting influences of user fees or artificial limits to access. HELICOPTER AVIATION Subcommittee A1J03 (1) The helicopter industry can be characterized as technologically mature but unstable in the structure of both its manufacturing and operating sectors. This anomaly is the result of worldwide reductions in military helicopter procurement after years of buildup as well as reduced tensions between the United States and the Soviet Union. In addition, and not unrelated to military cutbacks, the trend toward consolidation of military contractors has seriously affected the mostly subsidiary helicopter business.

  • In What Way Is the Rhetoric Used in Youtube Videos Altering the Perception of the LGBTQ+ Community for Both Its Members and Non-Members?
    In What Way Is the Rhetoric Used in YouTube Videos Altering the Perception of the LGBTQ+ Community for Both Its Members and Non-Members? NATALIE MAURER Produced in Thomas Wright’s Spring 2018 ENC 1102 Introduction The LBGTQ community has become a much more prevalent part of today's society. Over the past several years, the LGBTQ community has been recognized more equally in comparison to other groups in society. June 2015 was a huge turning point for the community due to the legalization of same sex marriage. The legalization of same sex marriage in June 2015 had a great impact on the LBGTQ community, as well as non-members. With an increase in new media platforms like YouTube, content on the LGBTQ community has become more accessible and more prevalent than decades ago. LGBTQ media has been represented in movies, television shows, short videos, and even books. The exposure of LQBTQ characters in a popular 2000s sitcom called Will & Grace paved the way for LGBTQ representation in media. A study conducted by Edward Schiappa and others concluded that exposure to LGBTQ communities through TV helped educate Americans, therefore reducing sexual prejudice. Unfortunately, the way the LBGTQ community is portrayed through online media such as YouTube has an effect on LGBTQ members and non-members, and it has yet to be studied. Most “young people's experiences are affected by the present context characterized by the rapidly increasing prevalence of new (online) media” because of their exposure to several media outlets (McInroy and Craig 32). This gap has led to the research question does the LGBTQ representation on YouTube negatively or positively represent this community to its members, and in what way is the community impacted by this representation as well as non- members? One positive way the LGBTQ community was represented through media was on the popular TV show Will & Grace.

Besides giving the airplanes a distinctive appear- ance, the winglets create more efficient flight characteristics in cruise and during takeoff and climbout, which translate into additional range with the same fuel and payload.

The winglets increase the spread of the vortices along the TE, creating more lift at the wingtips (figs. 2 and 3). The result is a reduction in induced drag (fig. 4). The maximum benefit of the induced drag reduction depends on the spanwise lift distribution on the wing. Theoretically, for a planar wing, induced drag is opti- mized with an elliptical lift distribution that minimizes the change in vorticity along the span.

  • The Four Health Systems of the United Kingdom: How Do They Compare?
    The four health systems of the United Kingdom: how do they compare? Gwyn Bevan, Marina Karanikolos, Jo Exley, Ellen Nolte, Sheelah Connolly and Nicholas Mays Source report April 2014 About this research This report is the fourth in a series dating back to 1999 which looks at how the publicly financed health care systems in the four countries of the UK have fared before and after devolution. The report was commissioned jointly by The Health Foundation and the Nuffield Trust. The research team was led by Nicholas Mays at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine. The research looks at how the four national health systems compare and how they have performed in terms of quality and productivity before and after devolution. The research also examines performance in North East England, which is acknowledged to be the region that is most comparable to Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland in terms of socioeconomic and other indicators. This report, along with an accompanying summary report, data appendices, digital outputs and a short report on the history of devolution (to be published later in 2014), are available to download free of charge at www.nuffieldtrust.org.uk/compare-uk-health www.health.org.uk/compareUKhealth. Acknowledgements We are grateful: to government statisticians in the four countries for guidance on sources of data, highlighting problems of comparability and for checking the data we have used; for comments on the draft report from anonymous referees and from Vernon Bogdanor, Alec Morton and Laura Schang; and for guidance on national clinical audits from Nick Black and on nursing data from Jim Buchan.

  • Knights of Columbus Frances Cabrini Council 8879
    Knights of Columbus Frances Cabrini Council 8879 1 EDITOR’S NOTE Several years ago we ran a series of biographies in the council newsletter called “KNOW YOUR KNIGHTS”. A few of our Knights asked me to consolidate them into a booklet form and make them available to all members, especially our new members who may not have read the series when it was published. It is also hoped that it will encourage our members who have not submitted a biography to do so. Most biographies were submitted between 2002 and 2004, so keep that in mind if you think they are rather “dated” when you read them. In the case of “Fallen Knights”, I have done some editing for obvious reasons. The dates that appear on the CONTENTS page are the month they appeared in our newsletter. If you would like to add your life’s “story” to our collection, just send it to me via email or snail mail, and I’ll make sure it is in the next edition.
