Conflict with Google
On September 20, 2005, the Authors Guild, together with Herbert Mitgang, Betty Miles and Daniel Hoffman, sued Google for its Book Search project.
The Authors Guild said Google was breaking the law by making digital copies of books that were still in copyright. (
Google countered that their use was fair according to US copyright law.)
On October 28, 2008, the Authors Guild, the Association of American Publishers, and Google announced an agreement.
Google would pay $125 million, $45 million to rightsholders whose books were scanned without permission.
The Google Book Search Settlement Agreement allowed for legal protection for Google's scanning project.
But both sides still said the other was wrong about copyright law.
The Settlement also would have started a new regulatory organization, the Book Rights Registry, which would decide how fees from Google went to rightsholders.
The settlement between the Authors guild and Google was rejected in 2011 by a judge at the district court level.
The judge thought the settlement was not good for the authors.
In October 2015, the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit sided with Google.
The court said that scanning and posting parts of works online was Fair Use and did not harm the authors.
In late December 2015, the Authors Guild filed a writ of certiorari with the Supreme Court against Google over copyright laws.
which in April 2016 did not review the case, leaving the lower court's decision as correct.

A crown gear is a gear where the teeth of the gear are not flat, but at an angle.
The most common such angle is a right angle (90 degrees).
The name crown gear comes from the facr that these gears look like crowns.
Crown gears were widely used in antiquity and the Middle Ages.
In modern times they were replaced by bevel gear.
This is mainly because with bevel gear, the calculations are easier.
In America, the subject of Anthropology has been divided up into four smaller subjects.
This is called the "four-field approach".
The four types of anthropology included are archaeology, linguistics, physical anthropology (or Biological), and cultural anthropology.
Together, these four types of anthropology explain how different humans have resided all over the world  throughout history.
There are some people who think applied anthropology, which uses the information learned from studying anthropology to solve modern problems of health or education, is it's own subject, which would make it a "five field approach", but this is not as common of a view.
History of The Four-Field Approach
This approach was created by Franz Boas (1858-1942), also named “the father of anthropology.”
He is famous for making anthropology popular, as well as an academic discipline in the United States.
Boas wanted to show people that human activities, ideas, and choices are different in different places.
He believed that the people should be studied holistically or as a whole, not just looking at one part of their life, but how all the parts of their lives fit together and create their culture.
This includes studying people's history, the objects they make, their bodies, languages, stories, and customs.
Since the 20th century, most American universities have used the four-field approach.
Other countries, like England, do not divide anthropology in the same way.
For example, archaeology is a part of the subject of history and not anthropology.
The benefits of a four-field approach allows for different perspectives to be taken into account when studying anthropological topics.
This helps to alleviate any bias or general incorrect assumptions about past and present cultures.
The Four Fields
Archaeology is the study of how people lived in the past.
Archaeologists, learn from things left by people who lived a long time ago.
They examine very old objects like pottery, stone tools, coins, books or anything made or used by humans.
Usually, these objects are buried in the ground and need to be excavated, or dug up.
These objects help archaeologists understand where and how people lived a long time ago.
Most importantly, archaeologists focus on histories of cultures and the past, through artifacts and remains.

Cultural anthropology is the study of human culture.
Culture is the way groups of people live their lives based on what is normal or accepted behavior for where they live.
Culture can be fluid and change as people’s ideas change.
Cultural anthropologists look at how different cultures are by comparing things like people’s ideas, art, and food.
The focus of this field is on the differences between cultures.
Cultural Relativism
One of Franz Boas' students, Ruth Benedict, helped to bring the term "cultural relativism" popularity.
Cultural relativism is a notion that means people's beliefs and actions must be understood from within the context of their own culture.
People studying culture should avoid judging culture based on their own assumptions and cultural standards.
Boas and Bosnians' celebrated the diversity of culture and did not advocate for ethnocentrism or a superior culture of them all.

Linguistics is the study of how people speak and the words they use and how their language developed over time (evolved).
Linguists, people who study linguistics, also examine how language changes what people think and how people change language.
They also look at how words make sentences.
This field focuses on how language is a significance to culture.

Physical anthropology is the study of human body science (biology), including how people adapt to where they live and how bodies changed over time (evolution).
They do this by comparing bones from very old humans to the bones of humans today.

The relationship between homosexuality and religion has changed a lot across place and time, and within and between different religions.
There have also been changes in different forms of homosexuality and bisexuality.
Present-day doctrines of the world's major religions are vastly different.
Several religions (particularly the Abrahamic ones) do not allow homosexuality and/or same-sex marriage.
In other words, some religions will only allow sex within marriage between one man and one woman.
For example, in Judaism, the rules teach that man shall not lie with another man as he would with a woman.
Most forms of Christianity take a conservative approach on the issue of homosexuality, same-sex marriage and LGBT rights: including the Eastern Orthodox Church, Mormonism , Oriental Orthodoxy, the Roman Catholic Church and many strains of Protestantism (including Evangelicalism, Pentecostalism, Presbyterianism among others)-calling same-sex acts as sinful.
However, there are liberal forms of Christianity accept homosexuality, LGBT rights and same-sex marriage.
Namely, the United Church of Christ, the Evangelical Lutheran Church, the Metropolitan Community Church and several others are accepting of homosexuality and LGBT rights.
Some religious fundamentalists have said that HIV/AIDS is a punishment from God against homosexual people.
A space (or shape) is called simply connected if it is all one piece and does not have any "holes" that pass all the way through it.
For example, a ball is simply connected, but a doughnut is not.

Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) is an immune-mediated inflammatory disorder of the peripheral nervous system.

Its symptoms are also similar to progressive inflammatory neuropathy.
Several variants have been reported.
Specially important are:
An asymmetrical variant of CIDP is known as Lewis-Sumner Syndrome.
A variant with CNS involvement named combined central and peripheral demyelination (CCPD)
