he has been convicted of fraud in Belgium and a court sentenced him to a year in jail and to compensate victims. He is appealing next month against the sentence and if he loses (which we must hope he does) he will go down.

getting dusty and a stiff neck

Roots in Denmark

I had a great time at Rigsarkivet Rigsdagsgaarden 9 in Copenhagen yesterday
and was even allowed to look at the 1930, 1940 and 1950 census original documants Rigsarkivet - Folketællinger
I messed up and ordered the wrong boxes

in the lunch hour I visited Det Kongelige Bibliotek
to look at
Hübertz, Aarhus = Hübertz, J. R., Aktstykker vedkommende Staden og Stiftet Aarhus, samlede og udgivne ved... I-III. Kbh. 1845-46.
beautifully printed on quality paper and in very good order
and I am going to put some of it on the web so I wanted to look at format and layout before designing a css

then I went by bus to
Landsarkivet for Sjælland, Lolland-Falster og Bornholm

found some references to STRØMSHOLT and the creation of that surname
but not yet exhausted the sources

going back today NOW

Varpelev Sogn

Historie:

""Warpeløff Sogn, Annex til Strøbye. I Byen skal fordum have boet to Nonner, som eyede hele Byen, og lod gjøre en Broe over Aaen, som endnu kjendes, til det Sted, hvor de vilde have Kirken bygt; men hvad de om Dagen byggede, blev om Natten forflyttet hertil. Dens Teglovn sees endnu i en Bondes Have, Klokken er af 1613. Paa Marken er et Wad, kaldet Qvindevad, hvori en Kone skal være druknet, og en Høy, kaldet Lammehøy."

Google Print program sues - Google Search

The Other Shoe Drops: Google Print Sued for Copyright Violation: "Rather than duplicate Suber�s work, let me merely add what information I gathered while following this story. According to Fred von Lohmann, senior intellectual property lawyer for the Electronic Frontier Foundation and a Google Print proponent, the defense by Google will turn to a 2003 case entitled Kelly v. Arriba Soft Corp. In this case, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeal found in favor of a search engine that copied images from a photographer but displayed them only in thumbnail form. The decision held that the commercial purpose of copying the material was not exploitative and constituted fair use. Google Print�s displays of snippets of text from full-text copies of books, according to von Lohmann, would seem similar.
However, another legal expert advised me that the Kelly v. Arriba Soft Corp. case holds as mandatory precedent only within the Ninth Circuit�s jurisdiction, rather than nationally as do cases decided by the Supreme Court. The appellate court with the largest body of intellectual property cases and the highest reputation in that area is the Second Circuit Court of Appeal, which is the jurisdiction to which the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York belongs. In fact, among the cases citing Kelly v. Arriba Soft Corp., the only one citing it with disfavor was from New York, the jurisdiction in which the Authors Guild suit is filed. Ultimately, however, both legal advisors with whom I spoke assured me that any case that elicits split rulings from these appellate courts would virtually assure an appearance before the Supreme Court.
