Is the Naked Brothers Band plagiarized by a old band called the Beatles?
The Beatles broke up before the Naked Brothers Band formed... so how could the earlier group plagiarize the later one?
Did Italian singer Al Bano sue Michael Jackson for plagiarism?
Yes. Both of their songs don't even sound similar. Only like the first few lines. Al Bano needs to shut up because apparently, he doesn't know who he's suing. . . THE KING OF POP.
To keep superman at bay.
No, that's kryptonite. Krypton is mostly used in lighting applications (as are most of the noble gases).
How do you check if your child plagiarised or not?
Knowing the child/their reading interest would be a beginning. Then, question them in reference to the information they've written. Since they may not be honest, you could use an online plagiarism checker.
The Amendment Process (outlined in Article V) is meant to be drawn-out and complicated. The Founders made it this way because they didn't want the Constitution to be confused with common legislation and wanted to keep it as higher law (we see this in the supremacy clause of Article 6, clause 2). There are three subsets of majorities: a simple majority (or half plus one - over 50%), a super majority (or 2/3), and a super super majority (3/4). The simple majority requirement for propositions for amendments would make it extremely easy for an amendment to get proposed (especially contemporarily with all the party politics), and therefore would not fall into line with the "higher law" ideal of the document. a super super majority (3/4) would make it too complicated for a proposal to pass, and could prevent necessary and vital amendments from every being ratified, therefore, the super super majority is only used for ratification of amendments, to ensure that the amendment is necessary and appropriate. Therefore, the super majority of 2/3 was decided upon making it not too simple, yet not to complicated to propose amendments, ensuring that the proposal was valid enough to pass with 66%.
What should you do if you have reason to believe that someone maybe copyrighting?
Do you mean "violating a copyright"?
A copyright is the right of the owner of a work to reproduce and publish (copy) that work. It is a legal claim to ownership. It asks for the law's protection of the work against theft, piracy, and plagiarism. It may be the author (originator) of the work or it may be the publisher who claims copyright protection.
Every book that is published has a copyright notice, often indicated by a little c in a circle. Other creative works--films, musical compositions, software, and other kinds of "intellectual property"--have a statement of copyright on them somewhere if the owner wants to protect them.
A copyright notice is kind of like a fence around your property. The fence may not do much to actually keep people out. But it does tell them where the boundaries are, and it tells them that the property owner (you) want to keep trespassers out. They can't climb your fence and walk on your land without knowing that they are trespassing.
If someone takes possession of (steals) work that is owned by someone else and tries to reproduce it or sell it, that is a violation of copyright. That is illegal.
You should tell someone important...
What are two ways of proposing an ammendment to the constitution?
Two-thirds of both houses of Congress vote to propose an amendment. or Two-thirds of the state legislatures ask Congress to call a national convention to propose amendments. (This method has never been used.) I found this on another site. To avoid any questions of plagiarism, here is the link. http://usgovinfo.about.com/od/usconstitution/a/constamend.htm
What is another word for copying as in writing?
The word transcription or to transcribe speak to the act of copying writing. The "theft" of someone's writing is plagerism, and to plagiarize is to copy word for word, or with a few minor changes, the ideas of another author.
How do you remove crankshaft pulley bolt on a Kia Sedona?
Before undertaking this effort you should first know that the crankshaft pulley bolt is a recall part from KIA a TON of people have complained about the issue. It basically boils down to sub-par parts, but let's face it you bought a KIA :).
To check on whether you vehicle falls under the warrantee get your VIN # from the door or the plate in the driver's side window and call 1-800-333-4542
I have done this myself and can say absolutely that this is not a job you want to take on if you do not have to. I have worked on cars professionally for over a decade and this one really made my stomach sick. After quite a lot of work in removing the crank shaft bolt I found that the bolt had cracked, yes cracked, in the crankshaft. Imagine how fun that was to remove, and what it did to the threads in the crank, that of course need to be repaired.
BE CAREFUL! During this process you may need to remove the radiator, and move the A/C coil. Both of these are fragile, and trust me you do not want to break them, or even just bend the coils. You also want to be ABSOLUTELY sure that you DO NOT turn the engine backwards; if you do you may bend the valves.
On a scale of 1 to 10 I would say this is a 4, but there is significant risk to be aware of.
If you are still determined to do this you self it is pretty strait forward:
-Remove the engine shroud (10mm, Philips centered bolts)
-Remove the plastic veneer on top of the radiator (Unscrew with Philips then pull out, they are like wall anchors and expand in the hole when the center screw is sunk)
-Remove the belts. There are three of these and all on pulley tension-ers. You first need to find them. One is top-driver, one top-passenger, and one lower passenger. You will need to loosen the retaining nut that is on the center of the pulley (14 mm) then back off the tension bolt (14mm). These are all normal thread so righty-tighty, lefty-loosey. If you strip any of these, as they appear to be cheap steel, you should be able to replace them at your local hardware store, ask for the hardened or stainless stuff.
-Room getting to the bolt is an issue. There is a special tool to span the pulley with Dow pins that fit into two holes on the pulley. This is meant to hold the crank still while turning the retaining bolt. The pulley looks pressed on though, so in my case where the bolt broke the pulley was already loose, and a nightmare. This would not work for me, and I could not find any way to hold the crank still (suggestions are welcome). The other option is to use a powerful impact; the hope being that this will turn the bolt without turning the crank (you still need to be careful, but it is at your own risk). If you can use the spanning tool to do this, it may be worth the investment. If you want to go this route you can skip to the step marked with "*" down below. For the rest of you, we will remove the radiator and push back the condenser coil so that we have room to operate.
-Remove the fan assembly. There are two 10mm bolts that attach the fan assembly to the Radiator. These are located at the top of the assembly. There are electrical components on the passenger side of the assembly that will also need to be removed. Be careful with these. There are some tabs to squeeze and then pull out the clip (you should put dialectic grease in here before re-attaching these later). After removing the bolt and the electric you should be able to lift the assembly out.
-Drain the radiator. This includes removing the coolant (which is hazardous keep it away from you animals and kids, and do not let it just sink into your ground, take it to the dump). There is a top (return) and bottom (supply) hose (1 1/2" hose) and a small (1/2" hose, overflow). These all have spring clips on them that can remove with a pair of pliers.
-You will also need to remove the power steering lines and fluid. Again collect this fluid as it can be nasty; it should also go to the dump, we can take advantage of this work and flush this fluid at this time, which at it simplest consists of drain and refill. There are two hoses that connect to the radiator. One comes from a separate coil (the small one at the front bottom) and another that comes from the power steering pump. These are both located along the bottom of the radiator.
-Remove the radiator. I would suggest not moving the radiator until all the bolts are removed. There are two 12mm retaining nuts on either side of the radiator, save these for last. There are then four 10mm bolts attaching the A/C condenser coil to the radiator. These are at the four corners of the radiator, and you will need about 1'+ of extensions to reach through the bumper to get to the lower ones. You then need to detach the power steering coil from the radiator. There are 4 10mm bolts attached to the bottom of the radiator; 2 on both sides. There is one final one that got me. It is a single 10mm bolt, that attaches a hose leading to the PS coil, to the radiator. This is at the very bottom in the middle. Finally remove the two 12mm bolts on either side of the radiator. The radiator should then come out though this is an effort in and of itself, as things are abit tight. BE GENTLE!!! These coils are aluminum and tear easily, do not add to the problem.
*-Now comes the fun part. The crankshaft pulley bolt is a 22mm. It is torqued to about 130 lbs so it takes some oomph to get it off. Get you self a nice Air impact gun and go to it. The thread IS NOT reverse. Eventually the bolt will come loose and then assembly is the opposite of removal, make absolutly sure you get the right replacement bolt. They changed it, and the torque needs to be 145lbs on it, use a torque wrench.
GOOD LUCK!!!
Feel free to plagiarize this. I am not interested in the credit, just getting the info out there.
Using your own words to accurately represent the words from a short amount of writing by an author?
Answer : Paraphrasing
You are referring to the word paraphrase.
example sentence:
When writing a report for class, it is important not to copy ideas directly, but to read material and then and paraphrase the information.
Paraphrase means to explain ideas in ones own words rather than how the author stated them.
Why did Shakespeare consider plagiarism to be such a grave offense?
Because Shakespeare put hours and hours of work into creating his own original work. To see someone copy his work word for word, without putting quotations or giving him credit would offend him greatly.
Why plagiarism an important issue in college?
Because it dictates the validity of a students work. Plagiarism is the theft of words and ideas, it's illegal and can be punishable by law. By stealing the work of others, it doesn't give you the skills you need to create your own work.
Someone who works without pay is called a volunteer. These volunteers will work without any income at all for the task they are performing.

What do you need on your science poster board?
It really depends on why you are doing the project, who you are doing it for (i.e. guidelines of school, etc.), and what your project is about. But generally, here are a few things you should aim to have on your board in an experimental sciences project:
# Title # Your name # Problem/Purpose - what are you experimenting? # Hypothesis - what are your ideas on the result of your experiment, and why? # Materials/Procedure/Methodology - this one is iffy. I f you are doing a science fair, DEFINITELY include this part, and describe how you performed your research/experiment, and why you chose to do it this way. You may not need this section for exposition projects (e.g. reporting on a news article or something) # Observations - what did you observe during your testing/research (what did you discover or learn?) # Analysis - what do your observations mean? # Conclusion - summarize your results, and make links to the real world or the possible usage of your findings # Terminology/Glossary - if your project is very technical, you may want to include a glossary where visitors can find the meaning of some of the more obscure words in your report. # Pictures - obviously, always nice to have. Try to keep them focused on your topic. # Diagrams, graphs, maps - unlike pictures, these schematics can actually be used as PART of your observations or analysis. They are often more effective at conveying meaning than a paragraph of words. Like this one. # Background - this should ideally go at the top of your board, and should introduce the situation (e.g. the history of what you are investigating, or some pertinent data like that) # Bibliography - after spending so much time on your project, it would be really sad to be disqualified for plagiarism. Just remember to cite your sources in proper APA format.
Population growth - boon or bane?
MALTHUS AND HIS GHOST: Dr. Girish Mishra; Manak Publications Pvt. Ltd., G-19, Vijay Chowk, Laxmi Nagar, New Delhi-110092. Rs. 750.
THE BOOK under review puts human population and its size and growth in proper perspective and looks into Malthus' theory, its historical background, the birth and implications of neo-Malthusianism after the Second World War and the recent Neo-Malthusian remedy of Zero Population Growth. It questions the general perception that population is responsible for declining quality of life, inflation, ethnic frictions, communal riots and terrorism and examines whether shortages of space, food and non-renewable resources are really due to growing population. The book concludes that both Malthus and his ideas have terrorised the world too long and the time has come to bury them deep. It has tried to prove that population is a boon rather than a curse.
With the help of extensive research and literature survey, it has been shown that Malthus' theory of population was in no way original or based on observations of demographic changes. As observed by Karl Marx, it was a superficial plagiarism of the pre-Malthusian writings on population of De Foe, James Stuart, Townsend, Franklin, Wallace, etc. Malthus attempted to shift the blame for misery and suffering of the people at large onto the laws of nature and exonerated social institutions and property relations.
In simple words, according to Malthus, population, when unchecked, increases in a geometrical ratio. Subsistence increases in an arithmetical ratio. This imbalance could not go so forever and had to be corrected by nature and correction was very painful. According to him, poor themselves were responsible for their misery and destitution because they bred thoughtlessly and there was no justification compelling others to pay for their welfare. Malthus helped the propertied classes in two ways. First, their conscience was cleared of any sense of guilt and they were told not to be unduly perturbed at the suffering of the poor because they were just paying for their sins. Second, they were provided with arguments to fight successfully the attempts by the then British Prime Minister, Pit, to raise the levies on them to finance the relief for the poor.
The author has analysed the reasons for the phenomenal success of the book, Malthus' Essay, which was the book of the hour. There were several factors, which facilitated a warm reception to the book in 1798. The two great political events in the 18th century, the American War of Independence in 1776 and the French Revolution in 1789, aroused a new consciousness. This frightened propertied class in Britain and Europe. Across the Channel property was threatened. Malthus was the apostle of private property. The Malthusian Theory of Population was put forward as an ideological weapon in the hands of the propertied to rationalise and justify existing exploitation, misery and sufferings of the labouring masses and oppose progressive ideas of equality and exploitation-free society and to frustrate all attempts at institutional reforms and changes.
While it was hailed by the propertied classes and their protagonists, its validity was thoroughly scrutinised by radical intellectuals. Marx and Engles and their followers subjected it to a thorough autopsy, investigating all its postulates, factual basis and conclusions and policy implications. He was found guilty of the logical fallacy of illicit generalisation. The introduction of moral restraints and emphasis on preventative checks in the later editions of the Essay brought in a number of contradictions in his theoretical design. His theory was reactionary and inhumane and it was an excuse to oppose all progressive reforms. Malthus absolved the existing institutional arrangement of all responsibility for prevailing misery and sufferings of the people at large. He ignored the role of science, technical knowledge and institutional reforms in bringing about a tremendous increase by the supply of the means of subsistence.
Influenced by Malthusian ideas, population growth is seen as the major cause of under-development of today. Poverty in Africa, Asia and Latin America is often blamed on what is called over-population. The popular media in particular tends to associate scarcity and famine with a surfeit of mouth to feed. Dr. Mishra has argued very cogently that frightful prophecy of Malthus and his followers, all the so-called facts and scientific data marshalled by them, have proved to be utterly false. Except for a few pockets, per capita average availability of food has increased and the incidence of malnutrition has gone down. There is no ground to think that foodgrains production will not go up in future. All the available indicators point out that the world will support a much larger population than the present one, both quantitatively and qualitatively, at a higher level of consumption because science and technology have unlimited potential.
Dr. Mishra has shown with the help of recent studies, the size and the growth of population had both beneficial as well as harmful consequences. Had there been slower growth of population, their economic growth could have been definitely facilitated, yet there was no need to take an alarming view. There is no causal connection between the size and the growth of population and high rates of inflation, unemployment crimes and traffic accidents and culture of violence. At best population may be an aggravating factor. The increasing number of children may be a problem to the State exchequer and country as to bear the burden of providing certain services, etc., to them but in the long run they turn out to be a boon provided they are properly brought up and equipped with skills.
The study has cited several studies to underline the role population growth plays in technological development. Both of them have been inter-related. Population change indicates technological change and vice versa. A number of inventions and discoveries have influenced the size and distribution of human population. Likewise, many other inventions and discoveries have brought down mortality rate and helped population growth. Without technological changes, the rapid rise in human population would not have been possible. Almost all the inventions of today have been due to demand-induced or cost-induced motivation.
Radical changes in the relation between human and natural resources occur in areas in which population multiplies. Shrinking supplies of land and other natural resources would provide motivation to invest in better means of utilising scarce resources or to discover substitutes for them. Moreover, population increase would make it possible to use methods that are inapplicable when population increase would make it possible to use methods that are inapplicable when population is smaller. Once these motivations led to inventions or importation of technologies, the technological changes would then result in further population change, which in turn would induce still further technological change. In this way, an interlinked process of demographic and technological change would occur. Increased demand for commodities due to rising income and population may create scarcity in the short run but a higher price of that particular commodity induces people to solve the problem. This phenomenon has been observed throughout human history. If this scarcity does not arise, there will be no occasion for investors and entrepreneurs to demonstrate their spirit of venture and all scientific and technological research will come to a standstill. However, the author agrees with the pessimistic attitude of Malthusians regarding scarcity of resources. There is no finiteness either in agricultural land or in sources of energy. If we consider a long run view, the sources of energy as well as other natural resources are not finite.
Fertility is influenced by a variety of factors like levels of income, education of parents, mortality rate, the state and nature of social scarcity, the status of women in the society etc., that are inversely related to fertility. Economic growth itself is the best contraceptive because with increasing per capita income, faster urbanisation, spread of knowledge and better housing and medical facilities the fertility rate will certainly come down.
Dr. Mishra observes that the danger of Malthusian idea is that it diverts attention and resources from other problems and solutions to these problems may not be discovered if our thinking is cast in Malthusian terms. There are drastic costs to human freedom and dignity if many of the proposals for widespread population control are taken seriously and adopted. He sums up that the problem is not that mankind has propagated too many children but that it has failed to organise a world in which they can grow in peace and prosperity. The main conclusion of the book is not how many people can share the earth, but whether they can devise the means of sharing it all. The subject matter of the book is very topical and it will be useful to general reader, students and researchers interested in economic history, population studies and development issues.
What is the use of mathematics in cricket.?
Mathematics play an important role in cricket.I think most mathematics is used in cricket only.It is used to calculate the over rate (total number of overs bowled by a bowling side in one hour) by dividing the number of time with the overs.It is also used to find the run rate of the bowler (total number of runs conceded by a bowler per one over of his career) by dividing the number of runs with the number of overs.It is also used to calculate the average and strike rate of both bowlers and batsmen.Batsman strike rate is the number of runs a batsman has made per 100 balls of his career and average is the number of runs a batsman has made getting out once i.e. number of runs/number of times a batsman has got out.Strike rate of the bowler is the number of balls a bowler has taken to get a wicket i.e. the number of balls/number of wickets and average of a bowler is the number of runs the bowler has given per wicket i.e. the number of runs/numbers of wickets.
Which action is considered an example of plagiarism?
Changing around a few words of an original text so it sounds as if it's your own work

What are legal consequences of plagiarism?
Plagiarism should not be confused with copyright, which is quite a different thing. For a student more immediate (and more probable) consequences of plagiarism include:
- Much reduced grade.
- Starting or continuing a reputation for plagiarism.
- Assignment not counting.
- Seminar not counting.
- Having to repeat a semester or year.
- In extreme cases, expulsion.
Plagiarism involves using someone else's work, ideas, or intellectual property without proper attribution, presenting them as one's own. This can include copying text, images, or data from books, articles, or online sources without citation. It undermines academic integrity and can lead to serious consequences in educational and professional settings. To avoid plagiarism, it's essential to give credit to original sources and use quotation marks or citations when necessary.
