Public domain is a phrase that describes something that belongs to all people in general: the public.
The public domain contains works (such as books, films, or paintings) that are not under copyright protection.
The opposite of "public domain" is copyrighted material, which is owned either by the creator of the work or their estate.
The term public domain is only used to describe things that can be copyrighted, such as photographs, drawings, written articles, books or plays, or similar works of art.
As a general rule, all intellectual property works, after enough time has gone by, will become part of public domain.
Examples include the works of Leonardo da Vinci, William Shakespeare and Ludwig van Beethoven, and the books of Isaac Newton.
The copyright expires, many years (usually 50 or 70 years) after its creator dies.
The work's creator may legally give up all claims to the material.
The creator forgets to renew the work's copyright (for works before 1963).
The work may have been created by agencies of certain governments, in which case it was in the public domain from the time of its creation.
The work is made by an animal.
The copyright notice is missing an owner, year or copyright symbol (for works before 1989).
In some cases, if a work enters the public domain after copyright expiration, anyone using the work may still be required to note who created the work.
Even if some works are in the public domain due to not being copyrighted, there may be still non-copyright usage restrictions.
For examples, even though the design of national currencies may be ineligible, or be unsuitable, for copyright, counterfeiting them for fraud is widely a very serious crime.
Another example are logos and images that only have text or simple shapes.
These logos aren't copyrighted in the United States, but they are often protected by trademarks.
A child (the plural is children) is someone who is not an adult or teenager yet, or an age who has not reached puberty, which usually happens in adolescence.
Sometimes, teenagers (between puberty and legal adulthood) are also called children.
A baby that is not yet born is often called a child, too.
A person can be called his or her parent's child, no matter how old he or she is.
Some synonyms for the word 'child' are kid, toddler, bairn, youngster, boy or girl, lad or lass, and youth.
In rich countries, children go to school.
Small children may go to nursery school, preschool or kindergarten.
Playing with small toys and using their imaginations are important for child development.
But often in a developing country, children sometimes work in factories or in the fields with their parents or guardians.
When two people get married and one (or both) of them have children with someone else before this marriage, that child is called a step child by the child's non-birth parent.
If both people had children, the children of each parent are step brothers or step sisters of each other.
A child whose parents die is an orphan.
Orphans with no parent may be raised by grandparents or other relatives.
Otherwise they may go to live in an orphanage.
They may be adopted by another adult or couple wanting a child.
They will then be able to grow up in a new family.

At the school board, Carter spoke against racial segregation in public schools.
In 1962, Carter announced his run for a seat in the Georgia State Senate.

In April 1971, while on television, Carter was asked if he supported the idea of governor and lieutenant governor running together.

Carter said he understood why some neighborhoods were against desegregation.
However, he also supported open-housing laws that make it illegal not to sell or rent a house or apartment to a person based on their race.
His comments were unpopular with many Americans.
Carter's campaign supported congressional campaigns using public financing, creating a federal agency for consumer protection, creating a separate department for education, signing an agreement that would stop the Soviet Union from using nuclear weapons, lowering money given to the military, increasing taxes for the rich and lowering them for the middle class, supporting the Social Security Act, and having a budget that would give money to government resources.
1976 general election
Carter and President Gerald Ford were in three televised debates during the 1976 election.
The debates were the first presidential debates since 1960.
Carter was interviewed by Robert Scheer of Playboy for the November 1976 issue, which hit the newsstands a couple of weeks before the election.
While discussing his religion's view of pride, Carter said: "I've looked on a lot of women with lust.
I've committed adultery in my heart many times".
He also said in another interview that he did not mind if people said the word "fuck".
This led to a media to criticize the idea if politicians should be separated from their political campaigns and  their private intimate lives.
Carter began the race with a lead over Ford, who narrowed the gap during the campaign, but lost to Carter in by a small margin on November 2, 1976.
Carter won the popular vote by 50.1 percent to 48.0 percent for Ford, and received 297 electoral votes to Ford's 240.

He supported energy conservation by all Americans and added solar water heating panels on the White House.
He wore sweaters because he turned down the heat in the White House.
On August 4, 1977, Carter created the Department of Energy.
During the signing event, Carter said the current "crisis of energy shortages" made him create the Department of Energy.
Carter said that the House of Representatives had created many energy saving ideas.
A month later, on October 13, Carter stated he believed in the Senate's power to pass the energy reform bill.
He said that "the most important domestic issue that we will face while I am in office" was the energy crisis.
On January 12, 1978, during a press conference, Carter said plans about his energy reform proposal were not being made and that Congress was not being respectful.
In April 1978, Carter said his biggest surprise since becoming president was the how hard it was for Congress to pass an energy reform bill.
On March 1, 1979, Carter wanted to create a gasoline rationing plan with Congress approving it.
On April 5, he talked about how important energy conservation is.
At the end of the month, Carter said it was important that the Congress pass his gas rationing plan.
On July 15, 1979, Carter said the crisis was a "crisis of confidence" among the American people.
Many did not like Carter's speech.
People thought Carter for not doing enough to solve the crisis.
Many believed he wanted Americans to do most of the work instead of the government.
EPA Love Canal Superfund
In 1978, Carter said the Love Canal accident in the city of Niagara Falls, New York was a federal emergency.
During the 1940s, the canal was used as the site to dump chemical products from dyes, perfumes, and solvents for rubber and synthetic resins.
More than 800 families were evacuated from the neighborhood, which was built on top of a toxic waste landfill.
The Superfund law was created because of Love Canal.
Carter said that many places like "Love Canals" existed across the country.

Carter had many problems with the economy when he became president.
He tried to continue the recovery from the severe 1973–75 recession.
His economy also had high inflation, with very high interest rates, oil shortages, and slow economic growth.
In his first two years, Carter created millions of new jobs.
The 1979 energy crisis ended job growth, however, and both inflation and interest rates rose.
Economic growth, job creation, and consumer confidence quickly went down.
There was also not a lot of gasoline because of the oil crisis.
Carter signed the Airline Deregulation Act into law on October 24, 1978.
The main purpose was to remove government control over fees, routes and airline market from commercial aviation.
The Civil Aeronautics Board's powers of regulation were removed.
The act did not remove the FAA's powers over airline safety.
In 1979, Carter deregulated the American beer industry by making it legal to sell malt, hops, and yeast to American home brewers for the first time since the beginning of Prohibition in the United States.
This led to an increase in home brewing over the 1980s and 1990s that by the 2000s.
During his presidential campaign, Carter wanted to fix healthcare in the country.
Carter's plans on healthcare included an April 1977 mandatory health care cost proposal, and a June 1979 plan that gave private health insurance coverage.

The April 1977 mandatory health care cost plan was passed in the Senate, and later was not approved in the House.
During 1978, Carter also had meetings with Kennedy for a healthcare law that did not pass the U.S. House.
Carter later blamed Kennedy for his healthcare plans not being approved in Congress.
Carter worked with Congress to create an education department.
In February 1978, Carter said that education is very important and should not be in control over many departments.
On February 8, 1979, Carter released a plan to create an education department.
On October 17, 1979, Carter signed a law that created the United States Department of Education.

Foreign policies
Peace treaties
In September 1977, Carter and General Omar Torrijos signed the Panama Canal Treaty.
The treaties would give Panama control of the Panama Canal after 1999.
This would remove United States control of the canal.
The second treaty said that Panama would have full control of the canal.
The treaty was not popular with conservatives.
In September 1978, Carter created many political agreements between Egyptian President Anwar Sadat and Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin at Camp David.
The two agreements were signed at the White House.
The second of these frameworks helped create the 1979 Egypt–Israel Peace Treaty.
Carter spoke to African officials at the United Nations about his support of democratic elections and power in African countries.

During a June 13 meeting, Carter said that the United States would begin to talk to the Soviet Union about demilitarization of the Indian Ocean.
On December 30, Carter said that the United States and the Soviet Union have made great progress on talking about important issues.
These talks helped create the Strategic Arms Limitation Treaty II by Carter and Leonid Brezhnev on June 18, 1979.
Nur Muhammad Taraki and other Communists took power in Afghanistan on April 27, 1978.
Following an uprising in April 1979, Taraki was removed by Khalq rival Hafizullah Amin in September.
By December, Amin's government had lost control of much of the country.
This caused the Soviet Union to invade Afghanistan.
Carter was surprised by the invasion.
The Soviet invasion of Afghanistan was seen as a threat and Carter saw the Soviet Union as dangerous.
Carter announced sanctions on the Soviet Union.
He created an embargo on grain to the Soviet Union.
Carter also supported not taking part of the 1980 Summer Olympics in Moscow.

Carter's move to remove the troops was unpopular with military officials.
In May, Carter said he believed South Korea would be able to defend themselves without as many American troops.
From June 30 to July 1, 1979, Carter had meetings with President of South Korea Park Chung-hee at the Blue House.

Democratic primary challenge
Carter said that the liberal part of the Democratic Party did not support his policies the most.
He said they were caused by Senator Ted Kennedy's plan to replace him as president.

Carter won the Democratic re-nomination, however, Kennedy gave Carter weak support from the Liberal Democrats in the general election.
Carter and Vice President Walter Mondale were nominated at the Democratic National Convention in New York City.

Theodore "Teddy" Roosevelt, Jr. (October 27, 1858 – January 6, 1919) was the 26th president of the United States from 1901 to 1909.
Theodore Roosevelt was born on October 27, 1858, in New York City.
He was curious as a child, so he took up studying animals.
He also took up boxing.
He went to college at Harvard.
He married twice, first to Alice Hathaway Lee and later to Edith Kermit Carow.
He had six children: Alice, Theodore Jr., Kermit, Ethel, Archie and Quentin.
In politics
After spending time in North Dakota, Roosevelt was elected into the New York State Legislature, and served, as a Civil Service Commissioner and New York City police commissioner (a non-police officer who is in charge of making the police department run smoothly).
In 1897, he was appointed Assistant Secretary of the Navy, but gave up on that to fight in the Spanish American War.
Roosevelt became Governor of New York, then Vice-President.
After William McKinley was shot and killed, he became President of the United States.
Roosevelt joined the US Army in the Spanish-American War.
He was a Lieutenant Colonel in the 1st U. S. Volunteer Cavalry.
These horsemen were called the "Roughriders".
Roosevelt's Medal of Honor recognized his conduct in frontline fighting in Cuba in 1898.
Lieutenant Colonel Theodore Roosevelt distinguished himself by acts of bravery on 1 July 1898, near Santiago de Cuba, Republic of Cuba, while leading a daring charge up San Juan Hill.
Lieutenant Colonel Roosevelt, in total disregard for his personal safety, and accompanied by only four or five men, led a desperate and gallant charge up San Juan Hill, encouraging his troops to continue the assault through withering enemy fire over open countryside.
Facing the enemy's heavy fire, he displayed extraordinary bravery throughout the charge, and was the first to reach the enemy trenches, where he quickly killed one of the enemy with his pistol, allowing his men to continue the assault.
His leadership and valor turned the tide in the Battle for San Juan Hill.
Lieutenant Colonel Roosevelt's extraordinary heroism and devotion to duty are in keeping with the highest traditions of military service and reflect great credit upon himself, his unit, and the United States Army.
As President, Roosevelt worked to make the U.S. a world power, one of the most powerful countries in the world.
Before, it had been the richest country in the world, but not a significant military power.
Roosevelt's foreign policy was described by an African proverb as "speak softly and carry a big stick", meaning you do not have to make war, but should give that impression if you are to be respected.
He increased the size of the United States' navy and sent all of the ships across the world to demonstrate to other countries that the United States was strong and could fight if needs be.
He continued the Monroe Doctrine and used the country's military might to influence Latin American politics.
He had the Panama Canal built (which allowed ships to travel in less time by taking a shortcut).
In doing so, he created the independent country of Panama, which before was part of Colombia, by invading it.
He also took a part for the United States, which is where the canal was built.
It was not turned over to Panama until 1999.
As president, he was interested in what happened in other countries.
In 1905, he helped to end the war between the Russian and Japanese empires.
Everybody thought Russia would defeat Japan, but the result was the opposite.
Roosevelt met both parties and convinced them to sign a peace treaty.
He won a Nobel Peace Prize for this work in 1906.
He was the first president of any country to win the prize.
At home, Roosevelt fought for all Americans having a "Square Deal", meaning an equal chance for all Americans to become successful.
As part of his Square Deal, he regulated big businesses called trusts, and forced several of them to split up in several smaller companies.
This should support competition, which he thought was important.
Roosevelt supported labor laws for the working class, required meat and drugs to be inspected, and protected the environment.
He created several nature reserves.
These ideas would influence later presidents to expand the government's role in the economy and to help ordinary workers.
Many in the Republican party opposed him because of this, however.
After being president
Roosevelt did not run for President in 1908, as he had the office for nearly eight years.
He wanted his Solicitor General, William Howard Taft to run for President instead.
Taft was chosen, and Roosevelt went to Africa to hunt big game.
However, when he came back, he thought Taft was not doing a good job and taking too little actions against so-called trusts.
Taft was also more conservative and he did not continue all of Roosevelt's progressive policies.
He decided to challenge Taft for the Republican nomination in 1912.
He failed, but many Republicans preferred Roosevelt, and instead he launched his own party, the Progressive party.
While running for President and holding a speech, he was shot, but lived and even finished his speech.
Because the Republican voters split between Roosevelt and Taft, they both lost to Woodrow Wilson.
Roosevelt also thought Wilson was not doing a good job, either, and wanted the U.S. to enter World War I after it broke out.
He prepared to run again, for the third time, in 1920.
Nobody had served more than eight years at the time.
Roosevelt died, however, on January 6, 1919 of a pulmonary embolism and a heart attack in his sleep.
Because he was so strong, a newspaper commented that "death had to take Roosevelt asleep", because if he had been awake there would have been a fight between him and death.
Besides being president, Roosevelt was an author and historian.
He wrote 35 books about politics, ships, and hunting.
He is thought to be one of America's presidents who read the most.
He owned a large ranch in North Dakota.
He also hunted large animals throughout the world and was active with the Boy Scouts of America.
Roosevelt is one of four Presidents to be carved in stone on Mount Rushmore.
Historians consider him one of the best U.S. presidents.
Theodore Roosevelt is the namesake of many American schools.
He  has a national park in North Dakota named after him, a type of elk (big deer), as well as river in Brazil.
The popular stuffed animal doll, the Teddy bear, was named after Roosevelt.

A composer is someone who writes (composes) music.
Some composers work by writing music down on paper; this is called 'written notation'.
Classical music writers work this way.
Writers for TV and movie music also usually write this way, so that an orchestra or other players can read the music and play it.
Some musicians are very good at improvisation.
This means that they think up (invent) the music as they play it.
Some church organists are good at improvising.
During a service they may need to play some organ music to fill in the gaps while people are collecting money or taking communion.
Jazz musicians are usually excellent at improvising.
Improvisation is not written down, so each time it is different.
Popular and rock or soul music writers are often not able to read and write music down.
Many pop and rock composers compose their songs on a guitar or piano.
Cole Porter and Irving Berlin usually composed at the piano.
Many songs are written by two or more people.
It is common for two people to work together to write songs.
Sometimes, one person writes the music and one writes the words (the lyrics).
Some songs such as folk songs were composed many years ago and no one knows who wrote them.
