Our web site is checked frequently and compared to other online sites using automated services to detect copying of our content.

Please be warned that if you copy content from our site, you will be reported.

• Some of our content was exclusively authored by my family members and a family friend, and we share that content within our three web sites. We will NOT give permission for that content to be used on other peoples' sites.
• Some of the content on our sites was written by others, and we were given express permission to include it on our site (and therefore, you would not have permission from that other author to use it).
• Other content on our site is public domain or "common knowledge."

Because you don't know what content is exclusively ours, authored by others, or public domain,
you should not copy our content to your own media.

Do not contact us and ask for permission to copy our content to your web site.
Because of a variety of circumstances (such as described above), we have to say "no."

If you do copy our content, you will be reported. Your web hosting provider has the right to take your site offline, so nobody can see it. Your site may also be removed from and then banned by search engines.

So What CAN You Do?

• Research a topic you are interested in from a variety of web pages, journals, or other sources. Then, COMPILE YOUR OWN SUMMARY, IN YOUR OWN WORDS, to put in your media/publication. Take credit for your own work by writing your own content.
• Place a link on your site to our pages if you would like people to know about the topics of interest to you.

Thanks!
