Trial
A trial is where two people or two groups of people argue in a court.
Civil trial
In a civil trial, there is a plaintiff and a defendant. The plaintiff tries to prove that he or she has a reason why the defendant needs to give him or her money.
Criminal trial
In a criminal trial, there is a prosecutor and a defendant. The prosecutor works for the government and tries to prove that the defendant committed a crime. It often takes a long time to get a trial scheduled as the courts can be very busy. In the United States, Federal court can take up to 10 months to get a court date.
Judge
The judge controls the courtroom. He or she decides who speaks when, and they decide what evidence and arguments can be used. Sometimes, a jury is brought in to determine whether the defendant is guilty or not guilty. If there is no jury, the judge or judges decide whether the defendant is proven guilty or not. If the defendant is proven guilty of the crime, the judge will decide the punishment, which is also called the "sentence". If the crime is serious, the defendant may go to prison or, in some countries, be executed. For smaller crimes, there is often a fine—money that must be paid, in addition to having a criminal record.
Differences in each country
Trials are different in places where the laws are different. Different countries, cities and states all have different laws that change how trials happen. Trials in some places are very short. In some places, however, important trials can take as long as a few years while the two sides gather information and put together their arguments.

Genital piercing
History
Genital piercing has a long history. It was done in some traditional (pre-modern) people. Sometimes it was a "rite of passage," meaning something done when a child enters puberty, or at some time during puberty, to show that the young person is, or will soon be, an adult. In modern times, people who got genital piercings in the 1960s and 1970s were often in the gay subculture. Before the 1980s, genital piercings were usually in people who wanted to be different from the main popular culture. Groups that are very different from the popular culture are called counterculture movements. By the 1980s and 1990s, genital piercing became more common in the general population.
Just like nipple piercings, genital piercings became more and more popular and part of mainstream culture in the second decade of the 21st century. Many famous people such as Christina Aguilera, Fantasia Barrino, Pete Doherty, Janet Jackson, Lenny Kravitz, Katarina Waters, and Pete Wentz, say that they had or planned to have genital piercings. Genital piercings are popular, especially among the college-aged, young adult, population.
London Borough of Croydon

The borough is the home of two football clubs, Crystal Palace F.C. who are in the Football League Championship and Croydon F.C. who are in the Ryman League. Croydon is also known for having a lot of parks and open spaces like Mitcham Common and South Norwood Lakes.
Genital piercing
Laws about genital piercing
Most countries (or states) say children and younger teenagers can't get genital piercings. Some countries say younger teenagers can get them if their parents say it is okay. Because businesses that do piercings are usually not allowed to do piercings on teenagers (under 18 or under 16, depending on the laws,) some teenagers do piercings on their own bodies or get a friend to help. This can cause health problems. They can get bad infections if they do not use a very clean needle to make the holes.
Why people get genital piercings
People get genital piercings to look more beautiful, in pictures or in real life. That is the same reason people get their ears pierced. People think piercings will make other people to look at their sex organs. Piercings can be like saying, "Hey, it's okay to look!"
Some types of genital piercing are supposed to increase sexual pleasure. Some piercings make sex more enjoyable mainly for the person with the piercings. Other piercings make sex more enjoyable for the person's sexual partner. (This is talked about later in this article.)
London Borough of Croydon
Croydon is a tourist attraction in London. One of the reasons is because it is close to Gatwick Airport and because it has lots of entertainment and historic facilities including the Fairfield Halls, Warehouse Theatre, Croydon Airport (disused), Shirley Windmill, Croydon Palace and the Croydon Clocktower.

Genital piercing
Why people get genital piercings
Some people get genital piercings to show their personal style. That is similar to people wearing clothes they like or getting their hair cut or colored in a particular style. Survivors of sexual abuse or assault sometimes get genital piercings as an act of reclamation. They felt their sexuality was taken away from them. Getting a piercing may help them feel they have reclaimed or taken back control of their genitals.
Unisex (Male or Female) genital piercings
Some body piercings near the genitals are for males or females. Piercings in the mons pubis (pubic mound) are very common. However, a pubic mound piercing is not good for a person with very tight skin and very little fat in the pubic mound. The body would reject the piercing. After a while, the jewelry would come out. Another way of saying this is that the piercing would grow out. Piercings in the perineum can be done on males or females, but are not common. They can become infected because they are near the anus. They can be uncomfortable when riding a bicycle or motorcycle.
London Borough of Croydon
Attractions
Croydon has many places that people enjoy visiting. There are a lot of places of interest such as Croydon Airport, which was the largest airport in London until its closure in September 1959. It was closed because of it was too small to handle the growing number of flights to Croydon so Heathrow and Gatwick took over. It has become a great place for air plane shows and sometimes is hosts along with Biggin Hill. Addington Palace is an 18th-century mansion that was the home of six archbishops.

Genital piercing
Clitoral hood piercings
The clitoral hood is a thin piece of skin that covers most of the shaft and sometimes the end (the glans) of the clitoris. A clitoral hood piercing goes through this thin piece of skin. A clitoral hood piercing is done to make the women look more beautiful, and also to increase sexual pleasure during masturbation, foreplay and sexual intercourse.

Genital piercing
Clitoral hood piercings
There are two main types of clitoral hood piercing: the vertical (straight up and down) clitoral hood (VCH) piercing and the horizontal (sideways) clitoral hood (HCH) piercing. As the names indicate, the difference is in the direction of the piercing through the skin above the clitoris. Neither of these piercings penetrates the clitoris itself, although they are sometimes called "clit" piercings. Piercings that go through the clitoris itself are dangerous. There is a chance that the piercing will cause nerve damage to the clitoris. That could cause the woman to not feel anything in her clitoris. That would be very sad for the woman since the the only known purpose for the clitoris is to provide sexual pleasure. There is also a chance it could cause pain that does not go away. Piercings that go through the clitoris itself are very uncommon. A deep hood piercing is a variation of the clitoral hood piercing that passes deeper through the clitoral hood. A deep hood piercing does not go through the clitoris itself.
One study from the University of South Alabama said that women with vertical clitoral hood piercings have more sexual desire and more sexual arousal and have sex more often than women without these piercings. During sex when the partners are facing each other, the partner's body (the pubic area, in particular) presses against the jewelry in the clitoral hood piercing, and the jewelry presses on the shaft of the clitoris and on the glans of the clitoris. The pressure and movement on the shaft and the glans of the clitoris feels very good for most women. (For some women, it does not feel good to touch the glans of the clitoris directly. The glans is too sensitive. It would feel like touching your eye. Those women might not like having a piercing near the clitoris. Those women could try using a sexual lubricant. A sexual lubricant is a slippery liquid. It can be bought at drug stores.)
A clitoral hood piercing is not always possible. It depends on the shape and size of the clitoral hood and on the shape and size of the pubic mound. A vertical clitoral hood piercing cannot be done on a very short clitoral hood. This piercing requires a clitoral hood length of 1cm or more. Excessive pressure due to fat or sagging in the pubic mound area is another reason a vertical clitoral hood piercing would not be a good idea. A horizontal clitoral hood piercing might be an alternative for some, however horizontal clitoral hood piercing is only suitable for women who have enough skin above the clitoris and whose clitoral hood is not completely covered by the outer labia. The shape and symmetry of the clitoral hood are also important to keep the piercing from rotating or pinching. If a woman's body is unsuitable for a clitoral hood piercing, a pubic piercing for a male sexual partner can sometimes provide the desired clitoral stimulation during sexual intercourse. As an alternative to either partner obtaining a piercing, a male partner can wear a removable sex toy device at the base of the penis that incorporates a clitoral stimulator or vibrator. Likewise, various clitoral vibrators and suction devices are available to enhance lesbian genital-to-genital contact.
Christina piercing
A Christina piercing, also known as a Venus piercing, is done where the outer labia meet at the top. One end of the piercing is on the pubic mound. The other end is in the "slit" (the opening) between the labia. The Christina piercing is not a good idea on some women. It has a high rejection rate, meaning the piercing (the hole) and jewelry do not stay in the body. This piercing should not be done on women who have skin that is very tight. If the flesh above the clitoris where the outer labia meet can be pinched, a Christina piercing may be successful. Women get this piercing to make their body look more beautiful. It usually does not make sex more enjoyable. Some women say it is uncomfortable when touched or pressed.
Labia piercings
The labia are the inner and outer lips that surround the opening to the vagina. They are part of the vulva. Piercings to the inner labia are common. Rings are the jewelry most often used. Labia piercings are mostly for decoration, but may also add pleasurable feelings during various sex acts. They are among the simpler and more common genital piercings for females, and are often done in symmetrical pairs (one on each side of the vaginal opening.)
Male genital piercings
There are many places and style of piercings men can get.
Glans penis piercings
The glans is the end of the penis. The piercing can go through the urethra. Men get piercings there because they think it makes their penis look more beautiful or interesting. A piercing through the glans can also increase sexual pleasure for the man whose penis is pierced and for his sexual partner. A piercing through the urethra is called a Prince Albert piercing. Sometimes it can cause problems urinating (peeing.)
Corona piercings
The Corona of glans penis is the edge of the glans. A piercing that goes through the coronal rim of the glans is called a dydoe piercing. During vaginal intercourse, the piercing usually adds extra stimulation for the partner. When several dydoe piercings are placed around the head of the penis, it is called a king's crown.
Frenulum piercings
The frenulum connects the foreskin to the shaft of the penis. This is an easy piercing to do. The reasons are the same as with the other piercings above. The name of the piercing is often shortened to a frenum piercing. If there are several piercings, the name is a frenum ladder or a Jacob's Ladder. (That name comes from a dream Jacob in the bible had of a ladder going to heaven.)
Shaft piercings
The shaft is the main part of the penis outside the body up to the glans. Piercings can go through the skin on the shaft. The skin on the penis is very thin. That makes it easy to pierce, but the jewelry might come out some day since the skin is very thin. If there are several piercings, it can be called a ladder.
Scrotum piercings
The scrotum is the sack or bag that contains the testicles. Piercings on the scrotum are easy to do. They are common. They just go through the loose skin. This type of piercing is also called a Hafada piercing. A piercing that goes all the way through the scrotum is not common because it is dangerous. Common piercings on the scrotum are a ring or rings on the side of the scrotum, or barbells (straight jewelry pieces) or rings. Piercings on the scrotal raphe or "seam" of the scrotum are common. The main reason to get piercings on the scrotum is to make the scrotum look more beautiful or interesting. They don't usually increase sexual pleasure much, so that is not a reason why people get piercings on the scrotum. If there are several repeated piercings, it can be called a ladder.
Healing and care
The time to fully heal a genital piercing varies, depending on piercing site and individual characteristics: it can range from a week up to six months. Until fully healed, preparations should be made against possible causes of infection, such as proper cleaning on a daily basis. People with fresh piercings should abstain from sexual activity for the first few days and also then should use physical protection barriers such as condoms until the piercing is fully healed.

Software piracy
Software piracy (officially called copyright infringement of software) refers to the illegal copying of software. It often uses the Internet. Some countries have laws about this. The problem is considered to be bigger in certain countries than in others. Those who hold the copyright get less money because of copyright infringement. As a result of this, some copyright holders publish “anti-piracy” campaigns to tell people about the effects of infringement.
Very often, the people making the laws have to make a trade-off between allowing people to copy and use the software, and the copyright holders charging for the content. At the same time, even not allowed distribution makes the content more popular. Because of these two reasons, infringement of copyright for proprietary software and content can be bad also for free software and content.
In 2010 to 2012, the entertainment industry advocated changes to United States law to make it easier to end piracy websites, called Stop Online Piracy Act and Protect IP Act. Some websites including the English Wikipedia protested these proposals on January 18, 2012. The next day, the United States Department of Justice seized the Megaupload website which is claimed to be one of the largest piracy websites.
Why people use pirate software
Some reasons on why people pirate are:

Louis Antoine Jullien
Louis Antoine Jullien (23 April 1812 – 14 March 1860) was a French conductor who was famous for his showmanship.
Early years
Jullien was born in Sisteron, in the French Alps. At his baptism he had 36 godfathers and was given 36 Christian names. He studied at the Paris Conservatoire. He was a good musician, but mostly he enjoyed popular dance music. He conducted a band, but had to leave Paris because he owed people a lot of money.
Career in England
He went to London where he formed a good orchestra. His orchestra played at a series of summer concerts (called Concerts d’été). Later he conducted a series of winter concerts (Concerts d’hiver). Although he was a good conductor he was a great showman. He would make a big show of putting on his white gloves which were given to him on a silver plate. He used a special baton (conductor’s stick) which had jewels in it when he conducted Beethoven. He wore a white waistcoat and enormous wrist bands, and he had a huge moustache and long, black hair. He would throw himself around when conducting and finish by sinking into a velvet chair. The audience loved it, especially when he added military bands to his orchestra. He used to conduct facing the audience. He conducted concerts in the London theatres and parks (promenade concerts).
Jullien’s programmes included works by the great composers, e.g. Beethoven and Mozart, but they were always mixed with light music: dances, quadrilles, marches, etc. He often added lots of extra instruments to the great classics, e.g. when he conducted Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony he added four ophicleides, a saxophone and side drums.
Jullien travelled to Scotland, Ireland and America with his orchestra. In 1852 he produced an opera, Pietro il grande, at Covent Garden, but it cost a ridiculous amount of money and he was financially ruined.
His final years
Eventually he went back to France where he was arrested and put in prison because of his debts. He died in a lunatic asylum. His wife, to whom he had been happily married, lived on for many years, and their son Louis became a conductor and tried to conduct promenade concerts, but he did not have much success.
His reputation
Jullien’s behaviour might seem strange to us today, but he lived at a time when the role of the conductor was becoming very important as orchestras had become much larger than they had been in the 18th century. He gave people who had never heard good classical music the chance to hear the music by the great composers. He had a very big influence on the musical scene in London and people talked about him for many years after his death.

The Soviet Union had won the gold medal in five of the six previous Winter Olympic Games, and they were the favorites to win again in Lake Placid.
For the first game in the medal round, the United States played the Soviets. Finishing the first period tied at 2–2, and the Soviets leading 3–2 following the second, the U.S. team scored two more goals to take their first lead midway in the third and final period, then held on and won 4–3.

Lost Horizon (novel)
Story
In May, 1931, during the British Raj in India, 80 white residents were evacuated to Peshawar because of a revolution. Conway, the British consul, age 37; Mallinson, his young vice-consul; an American, Barnard; and a British missionary, Miss Brinklow are in an airplane. The plane is hijacked and flown over the mountains to Tibet. After a crash landing, the pilot dies. But, he told the four to get help at the nearby lamasery of Shangri-La. They do not know where they are, but Conway thinks they passed the Himalayas and are near the Kuen-Lun (i.e. Kunlun).
Chang lives at Shangri-La and speaks English. He takes the four to the lamasery. It has modern conveniences, like central heating; bathtubs from Akron, Ohio; a large library; a grand piano; a harpsichord; and food from the valley below. Above is Karakal, a mountain more than 28000 ft high. Karakal mean "Blue Moon".
Lo-Tsen is a Manchu woman at the lamasery. She seems very young. She does not speak English but plays the harpsichord. Mallinson falls in love with her. Conway does too.
Conway meets the High Lama. He learns that the lamasery was built by a Catholic monk named Perrault from Luxembourg in the early eighteenth century. The lamasery has since then been joined by others who have found their way into the valley. Once they enter the valley, they age slowly. If they leave the valley, they age quickly and die. Conway guesses that the High Lama is Perrault, now 300 years old. He is correct.
Later, the High Lama says that he is finally dying. He wants Conway to lead the lamasery. Meanwhile, Mallinson has arranged to leave the valley with Lo-Tsen and workers to carry their food and belongings. They are waiting for him 5 mi outside the valley, but Mallinson cannot cross the dangerous route by himself. He convinces Conway to go along. This ends Rutherford's story.
Cultural importance
The book was published in 1933. It only became popular after Hilton's next book, Goodbye, Mr. Chips, was published in 1934. Lost Horizon then became a huge success. In 1939, it was published in paperback, as Pocket Book #1. Because of its number-one position in what became a very long list of pocket editions, Lost Horizon is often called the first American paperback book. This is not correct. The first pocket-sized, paperback book sold in many stores in America was Pearl Buck's The Good Earth by Pocket Books in 1938 as an experiment.
U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt named the Presidential hideaway in Maryland after Shangri-La. Now it is called Camp David. Roosevelt also lied to the public and said that the Doolittle Raid came from Shangri-La. This became the idea to name an aircraft carrier USS Shangri-La.
The book has been made into two movies:
The book was also made into the unsuccessful 1956 Broadway musical Shangri-La.
Hilton's novel was adapted for BBC Radio 4 in three hour-long episodes under its Classic Serial banner. It was broadcast 20 September to 4 October 1981. Barry Campbell directed. Derek Jacobi played Hugh Conway.
