NASA Earth Observatory Copyright Renewal Database: Welcome Welcome Welcome to the initial release of Stanford's Copyright Renewal Database. This database makes searchable the copyright renewal records received by the US Copyright Office between 1950 and 1992 for books published in the US between 1923 and 1963. The period from 1923-1963 is of special interest for US copyrights, as works published after January 1, 1964 had their copyrights automatically renewed by statute, and works published before 1923 have generally fallen into the public domain. In order to make these renewal records more accessible, Stanford has created this searchable database. Stanford has performed two rounds of testing in order to assess the accuracy of this database. The full data set for the Copyright Renewals Database is available for download here. We welcome and encourage comments on the database.

My Fundraising Page Let me introduce you to my Dad, Gary Eisenberg- I can't count the amount of times my Dad has looked at me wide eyed and said "I can't wait for tomorrow!" and confused I always ask him why as he smirks back, "because I just get better looking every day!" - yes, my father finds himself hilarious. Besides being entertaining my Dad has always been a motivator. I can remember running my first hill run with my Doodad. Now (years later of course I got over it) and running is our thing- Me and Doodad pushing each other and running. This March my Dad was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia. So this year I have decided to run The Columbus Marathon in October for my Doodad and to help find cures and more effective treatments for blood cancers with The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society's (LLS) Team in Training. For those of you out there who are able, I'd love your help in donating.

Precursor del copyleft He leído (perdón por la pedantería) la primera parte de los Diarios de Lev Tolstoi (El Acantilado, edición de Selma Ancira). Supongo que es un pecado haber empezado por ahí mi inmersión en el escritor ruso, porque no me he leído ninguna de sus novelas… Me ha llamado más la atención la faceta humana del personaje, su muy escrupulosa conciencia sobre todo, que la literaria. Y me ha sorprendido su obsesión por un tema de gran actualidad: los derechos de autor. En su caso, por renunciar a ellos frente al criterio de su familia. El 14 de julio de 1891 escribía en su diario desde su dacha en Yásnia Poliana: Tal y como han recogido varios blogs últimamente, Manuel Machado expresó lo mismo décadas después. Origins Origins: Back to the Beginning September 29, 2004 NEIL deGRASSE TYSON (Astrophysicist): A hellish, fiery wasteland, a molten planet hostile to life, yet somehow, amazingly, this is where we got our start. Right now, we're all eavesdropping on the birth pangs of the cosmos. DAVID SPERGEL (Princeton University): ...how big it is, how old it is, what's it made of, and what were the processes that made galaxies, that made us. NEIL deGRASSE TYSON: So a furious race is on to solve the ultimate mystery. ANTHONY READHEAD (California Institute of Technology): The spirit of competition is one of the things, of course, that drives scientists. Keep our fingers crossed. NEIL deGRASSE TYSON: And as our new vision of the universe emerges, strange ideas reveal themselves. STAN WOOSLEY (University of California, Santa Cruz): Stars are the ultimate alchemist. ROBERT KIRSHNER (Harvard University): You get carbon and nitrogen and oxygen made in stars. We see you inventing the next big thing. Hello. CHARLES L.

Purim Poppy Seed Cake with Lemon Glaze | The Shiksa Blog Note from Tori: This recipe has been retested and updated with new photos for 2014! I improved the recipe by cutting the butter in half and adding vegetable oil to make the cake more tender and moist. I also used full fat dairy and added a bit more lemon juice. This lemony sour cream poppy seed bundt cake is delicious year-round, but it’s particularly appropriate during the Jewish holiday of Purim. Queen Esther was Jewish, King Ahasuerus was not. There are three different ways to top this beauty, with powdered sugar, a lemon icing or a warm lemon glaze. By the way, a friendly heads up: if you are about to take a new job that requires a drug test, skip this cake.

FAQ: How To Find Out Whether a Copyright Was Renewed? Frequently Asked Questions How Can I Tell Whether a Copyright Was Renewed? A reader asks: How could I find out whether a book... has had its copyright renewed? First of all, you need to know when renewal matters. If you can prove any of these conditions don't apply, and the work was originally published or copyrighted before 1964, then the work had to be renewed in order to stay copyrighted in the US. Wikipedia has a page on Non-US copyrights that has more information about the details of US copyright restoration from various countries, though I can't vouch for the accuracy of the information there. Up until 1998, renewed copyrights ran an additional 47 years (hence, 75 years total), rounded up to the end of the calendar year. There are a few ways to find out whether a copyright was renewed. One easy way to check, sometimes, is just to see if there was any edition published more than 28 years after the original edition, and see if there's a renewal notice in that newer edition.
