This school year I am taking the mathematics class geometry. The teacher is Mr. Santangelo . The class is simply ordinary. What I expected to learn from the 1st day of class was geometry. There isn't much to know about Mr. Santangelo except for his days off due to family emergencies. I've only so far reviewed in that class but so far we are currently expanding our knowledge on lines, points, planes, and spaces.
Mr. Santangelo's grading policy is very simple it is 10% homework, 10% class participation, 10% projects, 25% quiz and, 45% test. The part of the class that interests me the most is the lines. I say this because lines are fun, they have slope, Y-intercepts, and somehow very important if not everyone's, my education.
The class does not use technology at all except every now and then a graphing calculator. The class does include cooperation which seems to be essential in the class. I like the class very much, it is very informative and helpful for my career in math. (?)
In the article I learned about copyright law and how it protects originality. The copy right law states :Notwithstanding the provisions of sections 106 and 106A, the fair use of a copyrighted work, including such use by reproduction in copies or phonorecords or by any other means specified by that section, for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching (including multiple copies for classroom use), scholarship, or research, is not an infringement of copyright. In determining whether the use made of a work in any particular case is a fair use the factors to be considered shall include—
(1) the purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of a commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes;
(2) the nature of the copyrighted work;
(3) the amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole; and
(4) the effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work
Anything that goes agaist these rules are prohibited by copyright law.

Five million Gmail addresses and passwords dumped online
An archive which contained about five million gmail addresses and passwords was posted Tuesday on an online forum Tuesday. Though the data was old and likely came from several security breaches in the system according to a security firm. A user with the online name "tvskit" posted the archive on a Bitcoin security forum, btcsec.com, and claimed that over 60% of the email addresses and passwords are valid.
