It’s all C.R.A.P.: Four Principles of Design | THINKblog
What a bunch of C.R.A.P.! There are four principles of design that we want you to get under your belt. If you’re a designer, you’ll know this stuff already. It’s like you’ll have some secret superpower. Watch the video, read the stuff below, and suggestion: if you haven’t ever seen this stuff before, print it out, put it on the wall, and absorb! The 4 Principles of Design Follow these four rules for better design! C. is for Contrast. Creating contrast for elements means that discrete elements stand out. R. is for Repetition.

P. is for Proximity. Proximity means that things are associated with one another – or not. Tell you what, just watch the C.R.A.P. video, OK? – Gregory and Mark
Fair Use Frequently Asked Questions | Teaching Copyright
What is fair use? The Copyright Act gives copyright holders the exclusive right to reproduce works for a limited time period. Fair use is a limitation on this right. Fair use allows people other than the copyright owner to copy part or, in some circumstances, all of a copyrighted work, even where the copyright holder has not given permission or objects. How does fair use fit with copyright law? Copyright law embodies a bargain. However, copyright law does not give copyright holders complete control of their works.

APFN MESSAGE BOARD - China wants a One World Currency too
Henk Ruyssenaars July 13th 2009 - In a publication by William Pesek, Bloomberg's 'news' columnist in Tokyo, Pesek wrote about the development in the US/China relations, and the fact that China wants a 'One World Currency' too, some kind of 'global framework' to keep the money flow going. The reason, Pesek wrote, was that the $17 Trillion debt would result in a 'Divorce' between the two, which ''won’t be a pretty one.'' "What may be necessary is a global framework or pact, to end the dollar’s dominance. "Returning from China last month, U.S. "China is beginning to cancel Congress’s credit card," he told Fox News on June 10. But the Chinese know all this, and 'help' with their propaganda to guide towards - what they think too - is a profitable solution: profitable for the banks of course. In a report from the world's monetary flow and usury institute, the criminal Rothschild BIS cartel says - in between the lines - the same as China: that more control is needed. And China knows this too...

The Khazars, Magyars, Rothschilds and Sumer. (David Icke Guide To The Global Conspiracy) «
Zionism (Rothschild-ism): the fake ‘history’ The movement created by the Rothschilds to lay false claim to the land we call Israel or Palestine is known as Zionism. This term is often used as a synonym for Jewish people when it is actually a political movement devised, funded and promoted through the House of Rothschild and opposed by many Jews. The most visible Zionist front in the United States today are the so-called ‘Neoconservatives’ or ‘Neocons’, who were behind 9 /11 and the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq.
