    On May 3rd, 1913, five California entrepreneurs set out to invest in the first American commercial-scale bleach factory. Edward Hughes, Charles Husband, William Hussey, Rufus Myers, and Archibald Taft each invested $100 on the start of the bleach factory, which was to be located in Oakland, California on the east side of the San-Francisco Bay. Later that year the company acquired its first plant site in Oakland, paying $3,000 (The Clorox Co. Website) for it. In 1914, the name Clorox was suggested by an engineer for an equipment supplier, Abel M. Hamblet. The name was derived from "chlorine" and "sodium hydroxide," the two active ingredients in the bleach. Hamblet also drew a rough sketch of a diamond with Clorox written in the center and the…

    Infringement,” Matthew K Dames informs his audience of the differences between plagiarism and copyright infringement and the misperception that they go hand in hand. Dames describes copyright infringement as “a set of laws and the illegal use of protected works without exception, license, or purchase” and defines plagiarism as “an act of stealing and passing off someone’s ideas or words as one’s own without crediting the source.” He opens his audience’s eyes to the unfair world of plagiarism as he cites a scandal at Ohio University where a disgruntled student accused other students of plagiarizing their thesis. Whether these allegations are true or not the accused has no way of defending him/herself and their reputation is ruined.…

    The main point of these policies helps protect the abuse that is happening with copyright through the use of multi-layered administrative scheme, that requires institutions to use a hands down guidance instead of the instructor being left to decide what is good to use. The facility or the institution also needs to provide the information that is needed to the staff and also to the student body to inform them of copyright policies and rules. Institutions need to be able to control the spreading of materials by creating a technological framework to make sure that only certain individuals receive access to the copyrighted material for instructional purposes only. Crews demonstrate some of what is required for the instructors, making sure what material is relevant. One of the main important focus of the TEACH Act in this article is that “no one person, acting alone, is able to comply with the law” (Crews,…
