ok
away to watch the rest off dragon heart such a good movie and im fond of it, post more crazy things later on tonight. dunno why im typing this perhaps someone else can watch the film to:p
just to state!
most of the information can be found on Wikipedia and most have came from common memory nothing has been copied except for some words that i forgotten how to spell and pasted in, such as plagiarism :p
Dont break the law..you Dawgs!!
lets get some technical stuff done with law before we go on.
Copyright...(c) this one i think 99.9% of the world knows , maybe not the tribes that still think its 12C though. copyright as the name suggests means the law against copying other peoples work or ideas it kinda has to be enforced unless you want disputes and trials and pointless bickering.
This covers music,art,design,paper work even, trade marks, companies your back garden if its copyrighted , this gives it away almost anything can be copyrighted with the right paper work, there are ways that cost less, there is the myth or fact about posting your own work unopened in a envelope... might work could be good.
Intellectual ...property :o this is the same as copyright but with ideas anything the person has thought up or dreamt about and written down can be Intellectually made lawful, so no stealing people. just the same as this can be intellectually protected if i had to place a idea on this and i wanted it protected.
The next section really covers this type of blog thing.
Plagiarism : now now don't be copying my style, this is what this means basically if you copy or imitate someone else's written work and brush it off as your own then yer buggered because its indeed then illegal and if found out its bye bye for you and hello to El Jail (not actually in any Spanish prison) but yes you could be jailed or fined a given amount by a judge or if you were granted permission you have the right to use it as long as the author has given that person permission to use it. many colleges and universities ban the use of Wikipedia as people copy and paste its content which is then plagiarism.
Contracts..contracts ...contracts I think most people know what these are it big scary bits of paper people sign to complete deals or job acceptances, these can and usually contain a small print that describes if its broken you can be taken to court for breaking this its a bit like a TOS or "Terms of Service" you break it you pay. other contracts like for jobs are usually details of the job ,pay and specifics of that job and usually contain a term time such as , part time,full time or other.
Licensing : try the off license!! this is really a add on to all of the above to give a license is to give permission such as a drinks store has permission to sell alcohol on its premises or a restaurant to sell food, this applies to copyright and intellectual laws also as if the person gives a license to use their material then they have permission.
Tax tax tax nooooo!! i think this again is rather heard of, most tax means to give money to someone usually the taxman which then usually goes to the country, taxes have been used well before the common era taxes can be traced back to medieval times where they taxed villages for money to the king or queen to feed them and keep the workers working basically. so there has been no change in that policy but many new taxes have became common, Victorian or Edwardian times they taxed for everything, they had hat tax,window tax and shoe tax amongst other crazy taxes this was because of wars that were taken place and the king had to pay to get resources and weapons made and pay back borrowing so introduced taxation on everything. poor people huh and they wondered why there was poverty pfft.

How Not to Break a Leg!
We all should know general safety anywhere we go, its one of those things that come naturally to us all; we once were primates that sensed danger from afar. But after thousands of years of evolution we sometimes forget that some things can be hazzardous and dangerous, so lets have a look at a few examples.
ok your in a office the worst office in the world here's what you would see .
Wires hanging from computers and electrical equipment and trailing on the floor: these could have tape securing them to the floor below so people do not rip on them or trail them and possibly knock over computers and break other equipment.
there could be boxes placed on top of filing cabinets or high shelves that people cant reach, or are to heavy to lift by oneself. some people think yeh i can reach that and carry it, but find themselves in a spot of big bother, so id suggest placing these boxes lower down or stack them somewhere that is easily accessible. And if they are too heavy get a workmate to help with the lifting.
a design company also can have their own set of problems many are to do with dodgy equipment or toxic chemicals.
heres one for the toxic chemicals dont buy things that can be potentially harmful to normal human beings, unless your super but no one is. some things can be harmful so if you are using them consider some protective masks or clothing.
if your working in sculpture, always always wear protective clothing its not a pretty site when you see a finger or worse flying across the room because you accidentally forgot to put the safety guard down.

Lets get friendly Eco Friendly!
http://freelanceswitch.com/working/29-simple-ways-to-become-a-more-environmentally-friendly-freelancer-help-us-donate-500-to-charity/
up there is 26 ways to be eco friendly, some suggest
recycling paper for printing companies, referring them to be T-Total in eco friendly
and avoid laminating paper (presumably because this is non bio degradeable
heres a simple one, simply turn off computers before you leave at night, infact turn off everything thats on stand bye, i actually dont do this my bad.
i liked this one for marketing- "Encourage clients to run web marketing campaigns rather than print ones where the end result will be much the same (because the end result in paper waste will be *very* different"
become carbon neutral is another
try this one for photographers - For photographers, send digital PDF proofs, instead of print outs.
i think these cover alot of the issues that face today, people use to much paper ( my bad again , i do that) and if we use up paper more trees are cut down and thus we do not get filtered air or O2, This means that the more paper lossage there is the more tree lossage and this is bad on the eco system.
i recently watched a tv program about interior designers, and their task was to create a eco friendly office, many did not achieve this but some did and some of the designs were just as good as the ones that were not recycled.

get funky with support for us
for students, looking for grants there is a number of different ones to chose from, I will just say about the one i know best.
SAAS-Student Award Agency Scotland
this is a goverment organisation that grants educational funding to students of all types from Scotland. they pay up to a certain amount then after it goes past that the student has to recieve funding from elsewhere. these are usually masters and upper educational merits.
they fun from NQ through to Degree/Hons.
Awards for desingers this site has something about awards http://www.newdesigners.com/page.cfm/Link=129/t=m/goSection=7
"Professor Sir Christopher Frayling, eminent educationalist and former Rector of the Royal College of Arts, last night opened Part 1 of New Designers' prestigious awards ceremony and presented 10 New Designers awards.
Supported by leading brands and organisations such Hallmark Cards, Graham & Brown, Tigerprint, Harlequin and The Goldsmiths' Company, the coveted prizes included prize money, work placements, materials and industry support and not to mention the accolade of being a New Designers award winner. "
employment rights for designers - http://www.creative-choices.co.uk/jobs-careers-news/design/good-design-practice/a-guide-to-employment-law-for-designers
this site shows what rights are for designers many are exactly the same as normal employment, except we have a difference in copyright laws for art and design work.
starting up a business, most of these past examples for support and other have been website addresses, as there is not much i can personally say about it.
