Six members of the Equality Nine, marriage equality activists arrested over two years ago for going to the San Diego County Clerk's office and demanding marriage licenses for same-sex couples, were vindicated August 24 when city attorney Jan Goldsmith filed a motion to dismiss all charges. Originally scheduled for April 30, the scheduled trial had already been delayed until September because the judge in the case found the prosecution had been discriminating against Queer potential jurors and dissolved the jury pool. The Equality Nine regard this as a victory for marriage equality and free speech.

Venice Flea'd Boardwalk sells commercial junk, once again, forever ? (tags)
Venice Boardwalk has a new ordinance that went into effect, was momentarily enforced by the LAPD, and has deteriorated back to what is was for too long = a junky cheap flea market, Since the very same vendors - that were made to not sell non-art which is now illegal, but they have brazenly returned ... to sell their re-sale mdse. to look-like-crafts-or-not- even-pretend-art and get away with what they did before...illegally but loopholed as long as they are not caught in the act of selling the stuff... art be damned...barely exists here. Rules and ordinances can be ignored. Bullying and being sly is what makes Venice work. How Sad, ugly, a loss for Venice.

The world is literally watching. Media worldwide have covered the case of the South Central Farm, the largest urban garden in the United States, the efforts of the city's elites to drive the farmers from the land, and the farmer's remarkable resistance. On June 13th, the County moved to evict, concentrating a massive police presence in the area to uproot the resistor's encampment on the land. The South Central Farm arose from the ashes of the 1992 Los Angeles rebellion, and stands as a symbol of hope to millions. Despite the eviction, the struggle continues, with a court hearing this week challenging the City's sale of the land to a private developer. When the Los Angeles City Council sold the 14 acre plot called the South Central Farm to developer Ralph Horowitz, they sold land they didn't own.

Word (disambiguation)
Africa is an epic poem in Latin hexameters by the 14th century Italian poet Petrarch (Francesco Petrarca). It tells the story of the Second Punic War, in which the Carthaginian general Hannibal invaded Italy, but Roman forces were eventually victorious after an invasion of north Africa led by Publius Cornelius Scipio Africanus, the epic poem's hero.
Africa and De viris illustribus were partially inspired by Petrarch's visit to Rome in 1337. According to Bergin and Wilson (p. ix). It seems very likely that the inspirational vision of the Eternal City must have been the immediate spur to the design of the Africa and probably De viris illustribus as well. After returning from his grand tour, the first sections of Africa were written in the valley of Vaucluse. Petrarch recalls
The fact that he abandoned it early on is not entirely correct since it was far along when he received two invitations (from Rome and from Paris) in September 1340 each asking him to accept the crown as poet laureate. A preliminary form of the poem was completed in time for the laurel coronation April 8, 1341 (Easter Sunday).

Africa is a 1930 Walter Lantz cartoon short featuring Oswald the Lucky Rabbit.
Oswald was riding through the Egyptian desert on his camel. The camel, though looking real on the exterior, is actually mechanical because of the two ball-shaped pistons inside which Oswald manipulates with his feet like bike pedals. One day, a lion was running toward them. To defend himself, Oswald brought out a rifle but it malfunctioned. As a final resort, Oswald fired the ball pistons from the camel like a cannon and aimed into the lion's mouth. Terrified by its lumpy back, the lion runs away in panic.
Nearby where he is, Oswald saw an oasis and a palace. Upon seeing the apes dance and play instruments, the curious rabbit decides to join the fun. As he entered the palace, Oswald was greeted by the queen. The queen asked him who he is, and Oswald introduced himself in a song as well as giving advice for a possibly better lifestyle. Pleased by his visit, the queen asked Oswald if he would like to be her king. Oswald was at first uncertain, knowing he never met a queen, but immediately accepted. It turns out momentarily that the queen still has a king who shows up then throws Oswald out of the palace and into a pond full of crocodiles. Luckily, Oswald escapes unscathed and runs off into the desert.

"Words" is a song by the Bee Gees, written by Barry, Robin & Maurice Gibb. The song reached No. 1 in Germany, Switzerland, Netherlands and China.
"Words" was the Bee Gees third UK top 10 hit, reaching number 8, and in a UK television special on ITV in December 2011 it was voted fourth in "The Nation's Favourite Bee Gees Song". The song has been recorded by many other artists., including hit versions by Rita Coolidge in 1978 and Boyzone in 1996. This was Boyzone's fifth single and their first number one hit in the UK.
Barry Gibb explains:
Robin Gibb: "'Words' reflects a mood, It was written after an argument. Barry had been arguing with someone, I had been arguing with someone, and happened to be in the same mood. [The arguments were] about absolutely nothing. They were just words. That is what the song is all about; words can make you happy or words can make you sad".
Barry said in 1996 on the VH1 Storytellers television show that it was written for their manager, Robert Stigwood.

Messier 89 (M89 for short, also known as NGC 4552) is an elliptical galaxy in the constellation Virgo. It was discovered by Charles Messier on March 18, 1781. M89 is a member of the Virgo Cluster of galaxies. Current observations indicate that M89 may be nearly perfectly spherical in shape. This is unusual, since all other known elliptic galaxies are relatively elongated ellipsoids. However, it is possible that the galaxy is oriented in such a way that it appears spherical to an observer on Earth but is in fact elliptical.
The galaxy also features a surrounding structure of gas and dust extending up to 150,000 light-years from the galaxy and Nice tidal tail/stream that extend 100,000 light-years outwards. It also has an extensive and complex system of shells and plumes surrounding it originated in one or several mergers.
The outer Shells and plumes were descovered by David Malin in 1979.


When on workers' compensation it is important to review job offers or offers of employment with an attorney. Failure to accept a suitable job can result in a termination of wage loss benefits. Employers have been known to offer employment that is not consistent with past employment, is at a lower wage, at different hours, etc. Even though it is different does not make it unsuitable.
An example of a refusal of suitable employment came in Dodgson v. City of Minneapolis Public Works, #WC18-6186 (WCCA 10/31/18). Here, the employee lost his entitlement to wage loss benefits due to a refusal of a suitable job offer.
In Dodgson, the employee sustained a work injury on July 20, 2017 resulting in amputation of his finger. The employer and insurer later offered a light duty job which was within his restrictions, but the employee refused the job claiming that "he had no transportation as he was precluded from driving and he could not rely on his wife and/or his father-in-law." There was evidence submitted that the employee could use public transportation and the cost of the bus ranged from $2.50-$5 per day. The employee objected to using a bus because of the distance to walk from his home to the bus stop which was approximately 2-3 blocks and the fact that he was to avoid working in temperatures below 65°.
The issue before the court was whether the employee unreasonably refused an offer of gainful employment. The compensation judge granted the employer and insurer's request to discontinue benefits. It was found that the job offer was consistent with the rehabilitation plan and that the employee had unreasonably refused the job offer. The court cited the standard that an employee's refusal of a job offer may be considered reasonable under the circumstances if it would dramatically alter a reasonable and responsible pattern of living. The court cited several cases where they upheld the reasonableness of rejections of offers of employment for reasons related to the employee's work schedule or family or personal obligations. In this particular case, there was evidence that public transportation was available and, as such, it was not reasonable to refuse the employment.
Again, if you are offered employment and are considering refusing it make sure you speak with a lawyer. Refusing a suitable job can have a detrimental effect on your case.

In 2005, Pastor Peter Le had a vision to train pastors and evangelists in Reformed Calvinistic doctrine in order to equip them to teach, train, and grow a Reformed Presbyterian Church. Although his ministry began in the 1970s during a very difficult time in Vietnamese history, Pastor Le came to love the doctrines of grace when he had the opportunity to receive formal training at Singapore Bible College in the 1990s.
His vast experience in ministry, coupled with a love for grace and God's sovereignty, has produced disciples who balance head knowledge with heart knowledge. Several pastors and evangelists have responded to his teaching and shared in his vision over the years.
In 2010, five men were ordained after completing five years of Bible training. They are the foundation of a new Presbyterian Church in Vietnam. Several others are in training while also leading house churches. All together, there are 18 churches that make up this growing network.
Recently, Pastor Peter has merged his group with the Presbyterian Church of Vietnam, comprised of around 90 other Presbyterian Churches across Vietnam. Pastor Peter and other ordained men from his group are taking leadership and training roles in this denomination.
Looking forward, the goals include continuing to train evangelists, local pastors and church planters in city and tribal ministry; starting three more church plants; continuing to train music/worship leaders for the denomination churches through Shalom Music School ministries; and adding Vietnamese teachers to the current Bible School teaching class.

Our 2010 Road Trip, Part 6: The Zoo That Chocolate Built
March 22, 2018 By Randall A. Golden in Travel Tags: animals, Hershey, memories, nostalgia, Pennsylvania, photography, photos, road trip, tourism, travel, vacation, ZooAmerica, zoos	Leave a comment
Sorry, chocoholics, this yummy-looking deer is merely a display item.
In my son's youth we tried to accommodate him on our road trips with at least one kid-friendly stop, usually either an amusement park or zoo. This year, thanks to the generosity of groundbreaking chocolatier Milton Hershey, we got two for the price of one.
Previously on Midlife Crisis Crossover:
Every year since 1999 Anne and I have taken a road trip to a different part of the United States and seen attractions, marvels, history, and institutions we didn't have back home in Indianapolis. From 1999 to 2003 we did so as best friends; from 2004 to the present, as husband and wife. Beginning with 2003's excursion to Washington DC, we added my son to the roster and tried to accommodate his preferences and childhood accordingly.
After the record-breaking nine-day epic that was our 2009 trek to the farthest reaches of South Dakota, we decided to scale back in 2010 with a shorter drive in a different direction. We previously drove through the corners of Pennsylvania in 2003 and 2004 — through Washington in the southwest corner on our way to Washington, DC; and through Erie in the northwest corner on our way to Niagara Falls. This year, that extra-large wooded state would be the center of our attention.
As one of America's original 13 colonies, Pennsylvania contains multitudes of U.S. history and authentic places and things from centuries past. For the three of us, we figured it would do well. Anne is a big history buff. I'm willing to drive just about anywhere within reason. My son would be dragged along for whatever ride until such time as he developed a separate life and identity.
We're the Goldens. This is who we are and what we do.
At one point during our long, hot day at Hersheypark, we took a break and walked next door to ZooAmerica, which was included with our park admission even though it's technically a separate attraction. The zoo's origins date back to circa 1905 when Hershey was first planning his chocolate factory and its surroundings. Hershey envisioned not just a lucrative snack business, but an entire town for his employees to live in and enjoy to the fullest. That meant value-added quality-of-life special features such as the park (which added carnival rides in later decades) and the zoo, which has closed twice over its century-plus history but nonetheless remains a vibrant part of the community.
As the name hints, ZooAmerica's focus is strictly on American wildlife, but that's not necessarily a boring thing. We took pics of a handful of the residents who stared back at us, along with a few local handiworks on display around the grounds.
Prairie dogs were among the zoo's first residents way back in the day, and gave us flashbacks to our 2009 trip to South Dakota.
Spoonbills try impressing with their antics.
Turtle peers into our very souls.
I didn't copy down the names of all the animals, so let's just call this one Bad Snake.
Intermission for fan art from local schoolkids. I imagine ZooAmerica is probably a frequent field trip for them.
Second intermission for the only animal in the zoo silly enough to stand on a big rubber ball.
Porcupine in solitude, no doubt bitter over all those slanderous inaccuracies about his kind in countless classic cartoons.
Handlers offered live demos with select animals such as this barred owl.
Barred owl in inscrutable close-up.
Actual deer or buck or caribou or whatever, more flesh-'n'-blood than the simulacrum in our lead photo.
Among the zoo sections not pictured was an indoor habitat for nocturnal critters, all darkness and creepy scurrying and unusable photos. Definitely one of those recommendable "you had to be there" parts of the ZooAmerica experience.
Once we'd had our fill of animals, park rides, and chocolate — and frankly, who ever thought such a thing was possible? — we took our leave, parted ways with our delightful tour guide Carla, and headed back to Exton. We were too exhausted to go hunting for local eateries, so our dinner was at a Red Robin across the street from the hotel. We had one of those back home, but not as convenient as we'd like, so this wasn't too commonplace a meal option for us…which at their prices is perhaps for the best.

Thank you to those who attended the 2017 Math for Service Open House. To view OC Scholar's Year-in-Review, please click here.
Thank you to everyone who participated in OC Scholar's inaugural journalism courses!
For more information about our inaugural journalism classes, click here.
The State of OC Scholar is the Editorial board's annual address to the general public on hot topics regarding OC Scholar and the field of journalism.
This year marked great expansion and improvement on previous foundations. We completely updated our website to match OC Scholar's vision on maintaining a high sense of quality, with an improved layout and fresh color scheme and logo. With the help of our new staff, we uploaded lots of new articles each month about the mathematics, arts, humanities, sports, sciences and current events.
Additionally, we held a successful writing workshop on general guidelines for article writing, as well as differences between different types of journalism articles and the basics of photography and graphic design. The OC Scholar Executive Board also created a set of writing guidelines for different types of journalistic articles, which was shared with and made available to all of the OC Scholar staff. This helped maintain a high standard for journalistic writing and reporting throughout the 2015-2016 year.
We ended the year by looking on to the next. At the Math for Service Open House, held at Sage Hill High School, we recruited around 30 new volunteers. In further expanding the OC Scholar staff and other activities, we hope to reach an even wider audience next year.
Freedom of the Press. Freedom of speech. We hear those phrases so often, but as centuries pass since our founding fathers passed the Bill of Rights, we being to more often neglect and take for granted the basic principles of our democracy.
As young students in the 21st century, we often doubt that the freedom of press and speech really impact our lives. However, looking at other countries around the globe, especially in today's society, it becomes increasingly evident how blessed we are to still exercise our rights even as students.
Moving forward, as student journalists, we have the ability to spark change and promote the power of the written word. Shooting stars pass, scientific experiments dissolve, names that revolutionized the math field fade, but the power of the written word is eternal.
As we bid the 2015-2016 school year farewell, we welcome the new school year with open arms with bright goals and visions lying ahead.
Starting in the fall of 2016, OC Scholar is proud to announce the newest addition of the program: a book club. The book club will run twice a month for students in elementary and middle school for the surrounding areas of Irvine, Calif. Additionally, a possibility to expand to high school students and possibly reaching other cities in northern Orange County is being discussed.
In regards to writing, OC Scholar strives to maintain a high level of quality while incorporating students with varying level of experience. By the fall of 2016, students will be able to take photos, interview adults and local students, write articles in AP style and attend a range of events in Orange County.
Looking into the future, we are excited to implement all our new activities and ideas while still maintaining the rich tradition of OC Scholar and the field of journalism. We thank you for your continuous support of OC Scholar as we being to embark on the next chapter of the program.

Most people remember donating cans of food to their school's food drive when they were young, but were often motivated by a school competition or materialistic reward. But what is giving truly about?


Just been grappling with a bout of flu, and realising I am a gazillion reviews behind, am bringing you a compact little round up. Luckily, some of you prefer this format anyway so it's a win-win!
When five colleagues are forced to go on a corporate retreat in the wilderness, they reluctantly pick up their backpacks and start walking down the muddy path. But one of the women doesn't come out of the woods. And each of her companions tells a slightly different story about what happened. Federal Police Agent Aaron Falk has a keen interest in the whereabouts of the missing hiker. In an investigation that takes him deep into isolated forest, Falk discovers secrets lurking in the mountains, and a tangled web of personal and professional friendship, suspicion, and betrayal among the hikers. But did that lead to murder?
A follow up to the bestselling The Dry featuring Police Agent Aaron Falk, and smattered with references to the aforementioned if you are one of, what seems to be, the only people on the planet not to have read Harper's debut. I immediately liked the premise of this one, being no big fan of these tedious teambuilding exercises where you have to achieve miracles worthy of JC himself to navigate your team across a pond with a pair of tights and a tea-tray. The fact that Harper also has her group of work colleagues simmering with resentment, unavenged slights, and general testiness endeared me even more, as the group becomes increasingly fractured, leading to the disappearance of one member, Alice. Using a split narrative, so we are pivoted back and forth from the events of the weekend, to the real-time investigation, Harper handles the pacing of the plot perfectly, and by slowly decreasing the spacing between the events of then and now, urges the reader on to read quicker, and step up the pace generally. There is also a neat little side story, referencing a notorious killer, and the continuing search for one of his victims, which adds another frisson of murderous intent to the proceedings. I thought the depiction of the characters, both within the group of women, and of Harper's detectives, Falk and Carmen Cooper, was engaging, and there was a good mix of rivalry, tension, and stretched loyalties among them. Although I was a little disappointed by the ending, in terms of how realistically it played out in relation to how the story had been constructed, I found this a satisfying enough read, although it does pale in comparison slightly to The Dry.
Now to two books by the undisputed king of Icelandic crime, Arnaldur Indridason, The Shadow District, and The Shadow Killer, which I read back to back, and both set in wartime Reykjavik. My only slight annoyance with doing this, was that the first book is set in 1944, and the second in 1941, and as the first book ties up what happens to the two main protagonists in subsequent years, I was frustrated by going back in time in the second with this knowledge of the future in my head. On a more positive note, however, I thought both books were pretty flawless in their period detail, dramatic tension, and with a thoroughly likeable pair of investigators, Flovent, a police detective, and Thorsen, a military policeman with Icelandic and Canadian roots. There was a good sense of equanimity in the structure of their working relationship, and both characters had pleasing emotional depth and quirks to their personalities. As both are young men, Indridason not only builds into their characters a slight sense of impetuousness, but balances this with moments of mature emotional clarity, as they seek to track down murderers, with the opposing weight of the police force and the military sometimes seeking to thwart their progress.
Although both books focus on fairly linear murder plots, both are superbly enhanced by the wealth of detail that Indridason weaves into the stories, focussing on the country's gaining of independence and, the role of Iceland in supporting the allied war mission, and the social implications, particularly on families, women and personal wealth, by this massive influx of British and American military personnel. Prior to reading these books I had no awareness whatsoever of the singularly important part that Iceland played in WWII, and certainly for me I found the military detail fascinating, and I was utterly intrigued by the whole concept of 'the Situation'- the sense of judgement meted out by families and society alike on young women fraternising with the allied personnel. This is pertinent to both books, and by the incorporation of a creepy subplot based on equally creepy totems of Icelandic folklore, the role of women and their subjugation plays heavily throughout. I found these different themes of home, family, folklore, war and society work in perfect tandem with each other, leading to a real multi faceted reading experience, with the characters of Flovent and Thorsen holding the whole narrative together. I would highly recommend both books but maybe read them in date order!
And they're coming with darkness in their hearts.The siblings gather, bad blood simmers and old feuds resurface as Unnthor's heirs make their moves on the old man's treasure – until one morning Helga is awakened by screams. Blood has been shed: kin has been slain. No one confesses, but all the clues point to one person – who cannot possibly be the murderer, at least in Helga's eyes. But if she's going to save the innocent from the axe and prevent more bloodshed, she's got to solve the mystery – fast . . .
I will tarry a wee bit longer in Iceland with Kin by Snorri Kristjansson, the first of the Helga Finnsdottir mystery series, and what holds the unique position of being the first Viking murder mystery, apart from the great sagas themselves, that I have read. I thoroughly enjoy Kristjansson's normal historical fare having read all three of his Valhalla series, but I had a curious reading experience with this one. At first, I didn't feel that the opening of the book really reflected the time period it is set in, and this just felt like a small rural community on the cusp of some forthcoming upset. It was only as the family members began to arrive that I felt Kristjansson really settled us in to the timeline, exemplified by the sons' tales of plundering and fighting. I also felt like it took an absolute age for the actual 'crime' to happen, as the story packed to the gills with all the necessary conflict, jealousies and infidelities essential to an Icelandic soap opera, which eventually results in murder. I was rather enjoying this mash up of the Icelandic sagas, Shakespearean treachery, and Viking 'It's A Knockout' , when it was punctuated by a rather unexciting, but completely predictable murder, and then another, which led to young Helga 'Nancy Drew' Finnsdottir becoming a rather unconvincing super sleuth. So a thumbs up from me for the familial conflict, and the generally entertaining conniving women and wonderfully Neanderthal male characters, but as a murder mystery in a conventional sense I felt it was a little loose fitting and awkward, and less than convincing overall. Shame.
Although he ranks alongside James Lee Burke and James Ellroy in Raven's trinity of favourite contemporary American crime authors, it is highly unusual for me to post a review of his work, as he is always read in a vacuum of serenity outside of critical reading, and imminent reviewing- my hygge zone if you will. So I'll keep this review of Down The River Unto The Sea as brief, and as objective as I can, but frankly Mr Mosley probably writes more interesting post-its than a substantial swathe of self published tosh, we as readers, are assailed with. Every word, image, theme and plot contrivance are perfectly done, and as the first book in a new series, I can only salivate with anticipation as to what is to come for Oliver in future books.
I don't know if there is any technical term for this, beyond him being a supreme practitioner of observation, but every description of a character imprints a visual image of that person on the reader's mind. I love the way he shapes and draws his characters, from their way of dressing, to their gait, to the timbre of their speech, underpinned by wit, pure sassiness and razor sharp dialogue. I love the way his characters always seem to walk that line between doubt and certainty, morality and immorality, strength and vulnerability, and the blurring of these credos that always underscore his protagonists, most notably in Oliver himself. In true Mosley fashion the book hums and sings with a rough-edged lyrical intensity, and encompasses all those big powerful themes of racism, political and police corruption, and subjugation that are so redolent of Mosley's oeuvre to date.
Objectivity is overrated. I totally loved this and cannot fault it.
Mosley is a master. End of.
From the initial epigraph, taken from a poem by Icelandic poet Snorri Hjartarson, the novel carries a strange ethereal air, compounded by Erlendur's involvement in two missing person cases, firmly rooted in the distant past. Indridason uses the conceit of Erlendur being on vacation to facilitate this, and crucially camping out in the ruins of his childhood home, neatly casting the pall of past events over the novel. From the haunting echoes of his past life that Erlendur experiences, as he revisits his brother's disappearance when they were young boys, to the case of a missing woman, Matthildur, from many years previously that piques his interest as a detective, the associated guilt and the sense of unfinished business looms large throughout. Erlendur doggedly tracks the course of events leading to the woman's disappearance, stirring up some uncomfortable truths and uncovering the wounds of the past in a controlled and slow burning, but eminently satisfactory central plot. Indridason employs his characteristic sublime pacing neatly reflecting the slow march of time, but also how incidental this is for those whose lives are so defined by events of the past.
This was classic Indridason, employing his trademark precision of style and pared down dialogue, all within the arena of a beautifully imagined and flawlessly described Icelandic wilderness. Slow moving, thoughtful and with an almost supernatural feel to the whole book, Indridason continues to adhere to my own belief that he is incapable of letting the reader down, yet again producing a five star read to satisfy any lover of Scandinavian crime fiction.
Arnaldur Indridason, author of the Reykjavík Thrillers, was born in 1961. He worked at an Icelandic newspaper, first as a journalist and then for many years as a film reviewer. He won the Glass Key Award for Best Nordic Crime Novel for both Jar City and Silence of the Grave, and in 2005 Silence of the Grave also won the Crime Writers Gold Dagger Award for best crime novel of the year. The film of Jar City (available on DVD) was Iceland's entry for the 2008 Academy Award for Best Foreign Film. Indridason lives in Reykjavík with his family.

Bikemagic & Garmin Guide to GPS
Pinpoint your location with GPS
At its most basic level, a GPS receiver tells you where you are. To make any use of that information, though, you need to know a little bit about how maps work. Here in the UK, we're blessed with Ordnance Survey maps – highly detailed, legendarily accurate and covering the whole country at a range of scales. To pinpoint your location on the map, we use a grid reference.
The OS grid divides the country into named squares 100km on a side…
Grids are a slightly arbitrary but very useful map feature. Because the planet is (roughly) spherical, on a global scale longitude and latitude is used, with lines a fixed number of degrees apart. Lines of longitude run north-south and tell you how many degrees east or west of the Greenwich meridian you are. Lines of latitude run east-west and tell you how many degrees north or south of the equator you are.
Because lines of longitude converge at the poles, the further from the equator you are the smaller the actual distance on the ground between any two lines a given number of degrees apart becomes. At the equator, one minute of arc (a sixtieth of a degree) is equivalent to one nautical mile. At the poles, it's zero. Lines of latitude are all parallel to the equator, so the relationship between degrees and miles stays constant no matter where you are.
…with numbered gridlines within each square. The first three digits are the horizontal coordinate, the final three are the vertical.
Clearly this is all very complicated, with calculating distances on the ground requiring a firm grasp of spherical trigonometry. Hence the use of a grid over smaller areas like, for example, Great Britain. Sticking a bunch of parallel lines over the map lets you essentially ignore all that latitude and longitude stuff and work with a simple coordinate system.
The vertical lines on a map are aligned to what's called Grid North, parallel to a particular line (or "meridian" of longitude. True North is the direction along the actual lines of longitude, converging at the pole, so the further away from the meridian to which the grid is aligned you are, the more Grid North varies from True North. Again, you don't need to worry about this for most purposes. You also don't need to worry about Magnetic North, which is the way a compass points and a very small amount different from either of the other norths.
But to return to the grid, it's arranged on a number of scales. The lines on an OS map are 1km apart. Each one has a two-digit number. Obviously there aren't enough two-digit numbers to cover the 1,100km length of Britain, so the grid is divided into 100x100km squares and each of those given a two-letter code. The grid lines within each square are then numbered 00 to 99 both north-south and east-west.
GPSes designed primarily for navigation that are OSGB-aware will give you a number like ST125413. With any luck you'll know roughly where you are so you may be able to ignore the letters. The rest of the grid reference is made up of the actual coordinates, with three digits for the "eastings" (reading crossways) and three for the "northings" (reading upwards). The first two digits in each case relate to the numbers printed on the grid lines, with the third telling you how far between that line and the next you are. So "125" is halfway between 12 and 13, while "413" is a third of the way between 41 and 42. And there you are.
The same operation in reverse gives you a grid reference that you can punch in to your GPS so that it can tell you in which direction (and how far away) somewhere you're looking for lies, but there'll be more on that later in the series.
What is GPS? The Global Positioning System allows a suitably equipped receiver to pinpoint its position anywhere on the planet's surface. While originally designed for (and...

Copyright Office, Not Courts, Determines Validity of Registrations Containing Inaccurate Information
By Sarah Bro on June 10, 2020
Posted In Copyrights
With the validity of a copyright registration at issue, the US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit reversed and remanded a district court's judgment after a jury trial and award of attorney's fees in favor of the plaintiff in a copyright infringement action, holding that the district court was required to request the Register of Copyrights to advise whether inaccurate information, if known, would have caused the Register to refuse registration of the plaintiff's asserted copyright. Unicolors, Inc. v. H&M Hennes & Mauritz, L.P., (9th Cir. May 29, 2020) (Bea, J.).
The appeal to the Ninth Circuit arose from a copyright infringement action brought by Unicolors, a company that creates designs for use on textiles and garments, against the global fast-fashion retail giant, H&M Hennes & Mauritz (H&M). After a jury found substantial similarity between a design created by Unicolors in 2011 and a design printed on a skirt and jacket sold by H&M four years later, the Ninth Circuit was tasked with examining the threshold issue of whether Unicolors actually holds a valid copyright registration for the 2011 design, which is a precondition to bringing its copyright infringement suit.
The garment design that Unicolors claimed to be infringed by H&M is one of 31 separate designs comprising a "single-unit registration." To register a collection of works as a "single unit" under the Copyright Act, however, the works must have been first sold or offered for sale in "a single unit of publication." On this point, H&M argued that the collection of works identified in Unicolors's asserted copyright registration were sold separately instead of together and at the same time, which required the court to find Unicolors's copyright registration invalid.
In its examination of the "rarely disputed" issue of whether a copyright is properly registered, the Ninth Circuit found the district court's rationale for denying H&M's petition to be "flawed." First, the Court flatly rejected the district court's requirement that H&M demonstrate that Unicolors intended to defraud the Copyright Office at the time of its application filing, and pointed to the Ninth Circuit's 2019 ruling in Gold Value Int'l Textile, Inc. v. Sanctuary Clothing, LLC, where it clarified that there is no such intent-to-defraud requirement for copyright registration invalidation (and in doing so, rejected a series of Ninth Circuit cases that imply an opposite conclusion).
Second, the Ninth Circuit concluded that the plain meaning of "single unit," under the Copyright Act's provision for the registration of a collection of published works as a single unit, requires that the registrant first published the works in a singular, bundled collection. Therefore, the Court explained that the district court further erred in concluding that Unicolors's application for copyright registration did not contain inaccuracies despite the inclusion of the company's own designated "confined designs," which, according to testimony and evidence in the proceeding, were sold separately and exclusively to individual customers and were not first sold together and at the same time with the rest of the works in the single unit registration.
With this underlying foundation, the Ninth Circuit held that once a defendant alleges that (1) a plaintiff's certificate of registration contains inaccurate information, (2) "the inaccurate information was included on the application for copyright registration" and (3) the inaccurate information was included on the application "with knowledge that it was inaccurate," a district court is required to submit a request to the Register of Copyrights "to advise the court whether the inaccurate information, if known, would have caused [it] to refuse registration." Accordingly, the Court reversed the entry of judgment and award of attorney's fees and remanded to the district court with instructions to submit an inquiry to the Register of Copyrights to assess the threshold question of the validity of Unicolors's asserted copyright registration before the dispute can proceed any further.
