Pasteurisation or pasteurization is a process of heating food, which is usually a liquid, to a specific temperature for a predefined length of time and then immediately cooling it after it is removed from the heat. It is named after microbiologist Louis Pasteur for his work on his pasteurisation process. This process slows spoilage caused by microbial growth in the food.
Unlike sterilisation, pasteurisation is not intended to kill all micro-organisms in the food. Instead, it aims to reduce the number of viable pathogens so they are unlikely to cause disease (assuming the pasteurised product is stored as indicated and is consumed before its expiration date). Commercial-scale sterilisation of food is not common because it adversely affects the taste and quality of the product. Certain foods, such as dairy products, may be superheated to ensure pathogenic microbes are destroyed.[1]
Alcoholic beverages[edit]
The process of heating wine for preservation purposes has been known in China since 1117,[2] and was documented in Japan in 1900 in the diary Tamonin-nikki.
Much later, in 1768, an Italian priest and scientist Lazzaro Spallanzani proved experimentally that heat killed bacteria, and that they do not re-appear if the product is hermetically sealed.[3] In 1795, a Parisian chef and confectioner named Nicolas Appert began experimenting with ways to preserve foodstuffs, succeeding with soups, vegetables, juices, dairy products, jellies, jams, and syrups. He placed the food in glass jars, sealed them with cork and sealing wax and placed them in boiling water.[4] In that same year, the French military offered a cash prize of 12,000 francs for a new method to preserve food. After some 14 or 15 years of experimenting, Appert submitted his invention and won the prize in January 1810. Later that year,[5] Appert published L'Art de conserver les substances animales et végétales (or The Art of Preserving Animal and Vegetable Substances). This was the first cookbook of its kind on modern food preservation methods.[6][7]
La Maison Appert (English: The House of Appert), in the town of Massy, near Paris, became the first food-bottling factory in the world,[4] preserving a variety of food in sealed bottles. Appert's method was to fill thick, large-mouthed glass bottles with produce of every description, ranging from beef and fowl to eggs, milk and prepared dishes. His greatest success for publicity was an entire sheep. He left air space at the top of the bottle, and the cork would then be sealed firmly in the jar by using a vise. The bottle was then wrapped in canvas to protect it, while it was dunked into boiling water and then boiled for as much time as Appert deemed appropriate for cooking the contents thoroughly. Appert patented his method, sometimes called in his honor "appertisation".
Appert's method was so simple and workable that it quickly became widespread. In 1810, British inventor and merchant Peter Durand, also of French origin,[citation needed] patented his own method, but this time in a tin can, so creating the modern-day process of canning foods. In 1812, Englishmen Bryan Donkin and John Hall purchased both patents and began producing preserves. Just a decade later, Appert's method of canning had made its way to America.[8] Tin can production was however not common until the beginning of the 20th century, partly because a hammer and chisel were needed to open cans until the invention of a can opener by an Englishman named Yates in 1855.[4]
Appert's preservation by boiling involved heating the food to an unnecessarily high temperature, and for an unnecessarily long time, which could destroy some of the flavour of the preserved food.[citation needed]
A more timid method was developed by the renowned French chemist and microbiologist Louis Pasteur during his 1864[3] summer vacation in Arbois, to remedy the frequent acidity of the local wines. He found out experimentally that it is sufficient to heat a young wine to only about 50–60 °C (122–140 °F) for a brief time to kill the microbes, and that the wine could be nevertheless properly aged without sacrificing the final quality.[3] In honor of Pasteur, the process became known as "pasteurization".[citation needed] Pasteurization was originally used as a way of preventing wine and beer from souring,[9] and it would be many years before milk was pasteurized. In the United States in the 1870s, it was common for milk to contain contaminants to mask spoilage before milk was regulated.[10]
Milk is an excellent medium for microbial growth,[11] and when stored at ambient temperature bacteria and other pathogens soon proliferate.[12]
The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) says improperly handled raw milk is responsible for nearly three times more hospitalisations than any other food-borne disease outbreak, making it one of the world's most dangerous food products.[13] Diseases pasteurisation can prevent include tuberculosis, brucellosis, diphtheria, scarlet fever, and Q-fever; it also kills the harmful bacteria Salmonella, Listeria, Yersinia, Campylobacter, Staphylococcus aureus, and Escherichia coli O157:H7,[14][15] among others.
Pasteurisation is the reason for milk's extended shelf life. High-temperature, short-time (HTST) pasteurised milk typically has a refrigerated shelf life of two to three weeks, whereas ultra-pasteurized milk can last much longer, sometimes two to three months. When ultra-heat treatment (UHT) is combined with sterile handling and container technology (such as aseptic packaging), it can even be stored unrefrigerated for up to 9 months.
Before the widespread urban growth caused by industrialisation, people kept dairy cows even in urban areas and the short time period between production and consumption minimised the disease risk of drinking raw milk.[16] However, as urban densities increased and supply chains lengthened to the distance from country to city, raw milk (often days old) began to be recognised as a source of disease. For example, between 1912 and 1937 some 65,000 people died of tuberculosis contracted from consuming milk in England and Wales alone.[17]
Developed countries adopted milk pasteurization to prevent such disease and loss of life, and as a result milk is now widely considered one of the safest foods.[16] A traditional form of pasteurization by scalding and straining of cream to increase the keeping qualities of butter was practiced in England before 1773 and was introduced to Boston in the USA by 1773,[18] although it was not widely practiced in the United States for the next 20 years. It was still being referred to as a "new" process in American newspapers as late as 1802.[19] Pasteurization of milk was suggested by Franz von Soxhlet in 1886.[20]
Pasteurization typically uses temperatures below boiling, since at very high temperatures, casein micelles will irreversibly aggregate, or "curdle". The two main types of pasteurization used today are high-temperature, short-time (HTST, also known as "flash") and extended shelf life (ESL). Ultra-high temperature processing (UHT, also known as ultra-heat-treating) is also used for milk treatment. In the HTST process, milk is forced between metal plates or through pipes heated on the outside by hot water, and is heated to 72°C (161°F) for 15 seconds.[21]:8 UHT processing holds the milk at a temperature of 138°C (280°F) for a minimum of two seconds.[21]:90 ESL milk has a microbial filtration step and lower temperatures than UHT milk.[22] Milk simply labeled "pasteurized" is usually treated with the HTST method, whereas milk labeled "ultra-pasteurized" or simply "UHT" has been treated with the UHT method. Since 2007, however, it is no longer a legal requirement in European countries (for example in Germany) to declare ESL milk as ultra-heated; consequently, it is now often labeled as "fresh milk" and just advertised as having an "extended shelf life", making it increasingly difficult to distinguish ESL milk from traditionally pasteurized fresh milk. A less conventional, but US FDA-legal, alternative (typically for home pasteurization) is to heat milk at 145 °F (63 °C) for 30 minutes.[23]
Pasteurization methods are usually standardized and controlled by national food safety agencies (such as the USDA in the United States and the Food Standards Agency in the United Kingdom). These agencies require that milk be HTST pasteurized to qualify for the pasteurized label. Dairy product standards differ, depending on fat content and intended usage. For example, pasteurization standards for cream differ from standards for fluid milk, and standards for pasteurizing cheese are designed to preserve the enzyme phosphatase, which aids cutting. In Canada, all milk produced at a processor and intended for consumption must be pasteurized, which legally requires that it be heated to at least 72°C for at least 16 seconds,[24] then cooling it to 4°C to ensure any harmful bacteria are destroyed. The UK Dairy Products Hygiene Regulations 1995 requires that milk be heat treated for 15 seconds at 71.7 °C or other effective time/temperature combination.[25]
A process similar to pasteurization is thermization, which uses lower temperatures to kill bacteria in milk. It allows a milk product, such as cheese, to retain more of the original taste, but thermized foods are not considered pasteurized by food regulators.[23]
The HTST pasteurization standard was designed to achieve a five-log reduction, killing 99.999% of the number of viable micro-organisms in milk.[26] This is considered adequate for destroying almost all yeasts, molds, and common spoilage bacteria and also to ensure adequate destruction of common pathogenic, heat-resistant organisms (including Mycobacterium tuberculosis, which causes tuberculosis, but not Coxiella burnetii, which causes Q fever).[26] As a precaution, modern equipment tests and identifies bacteria in milk being processed. HTST pasteurization processes must be designed so the milk is heated evenly, and no part of the milk is subject to a shorter time or a lower temperature.
Even pasteurization without quality control can be effective, though this is generally not permitted for human consumption; a study of farms feeding calves on pasteurised waste milk using a mixture of pasteurization technologies (none of which were routinely monitored for performance) found the resulting pasteurized milk to meet safety requirements at least 92% of the time.[27]
An effect of the heating of pasteurization is that some vitamin, mineral, and beneficial (or probiotic) bacteria is lost. Soluble calcium and phosphorus decrease by 5%, thiamin and vitamin B12 by 10%, and vitamin C by 20%.[17][28] However, these losses are not significant nutritionally. [29]
Direct microbiological techniques are the ultimate measurement of pathogen contamination but these are costly and time consuming (24-48 hours), which means that products are able to spoil by the time pasteurisation is verified.
As a result of the unsuitability of microbiological techniques, milk pasteurisation efficacy is typically monitored by checking for the presence of alkaline phosphatase, which is denatured by pasteurisation. B. tuberculosis, the bacterium requiring the highest temperature to be killed of all milk pathogens is killed at similar ranges of temperature and time as those which denature alkaline phosphatase. For this reason, presence of alkaline phosphatase is deemed to be an ideal diagnostic tool for pasteurisation efficacy.[30][31]
Phosphatase denaturing was originally monitored using a phenol-phosphate substrate. When hydrolysed by the enzyme these compounds liberate phenols, which were then reacted with dibromoquinonechlorimide to give a colour change, which itself was measured by checking absorption at 610 nm (spectrophotometry). Some of the phenols used were inherently coloured (phenolpthalein, nitrophenol) and were simply assayed unreacted.[25] Spectophotometric analysis is satisfactory but is of relatively low accuracy because many natural products are coloured. For this reason, modern systems (since 1990) use fluorometry which is able to detect much lower levels of raw milk contamination.[25]
Unpasteurised milk[edit]
According to the Centers for Disease Control between 1998 and 2011 79% of the dairy related outbreaks were due to raw milk or cheese products.[32] They report 148 outbreaks, 2,384 illnesses (284 requiring hospitalizations) as well as 2 deaths due to raw milk or cheese products during the same time period.[32]
Consumer acceptance[edit]
As pasteurisation is a very old and traditional way of preservation, it is well known and accepted by consumers. Nearly every label of milk products contains the word "pasteurisation" and it is associated by consumers with good quality attributes and safety. In the consumer studies of Hightech Europe consumers mentioned more positive than negative associations for this technology showing that these products are well accepted.[33]

Today, the Georgia Bulldogs will be in action in baseball, women's golf, women's lacrosse, softball, and men's tennis . . . and fans of Mark Fox's men's basketball team may want to watch the Iona Gaels take on the Manhattan Jaspers on ESPNU tonight.
The Georgia Bulldogs will send student-athletes into intercollegiate competition in eight sports on Saturday, including three clashes of ranked teams and a televised men's basketball game. Come to Dawg Sports for the all-day open comment thread!
It has been a busy week for the Georgia Bulldogs, as several Red and Black athletes have been preparing for the Olympics, two former Bulldog standouts have been hired as assistant coaches in Athens, and the school's oldest living tennis letterman passed away.
Isaiah Crowell's arrest and dismissal were not the only items of news concerning the Georgia Bulldogs this week. Among the many positive items to report was Allison Schmitt's success at the U.S. Olympic swimming trials.
The Georgia Bulldogs' sports teams' seasons all are over, but that doesn't mean the Red and Black are idle, as several current and former Georgia track and field athletes were in Eugene, Ore., attempting to qualify for the 2012 London Olympic Games.
Josh Brewer, an assistant men's and women's golf coach at Southern California, is taking over the Georgia women's golf program. Go 'Dawgs!
The SEC claimed national championships in several sports, including basketball and football, in the 2011-'12 academic year, yet the Georgia Bulldogs won exactly none of them. What needs to happen in order for that to change?
It has been a busy week in the SEC, as new conference football and basketball schedules were announced, a women's equestrian championship was established, and Kelley Hester was released as the Georgia Bulldogs' women's golf coach.
In a busy weekend for the Red and Black, the Georgia Bulldogs track and field, women's golf, and women's softball teams all stumbled down the stretch to disappointing finishes following promising starts in postseason SEC and NCAA competitions.
The Georgia Bulldogs will be in action this weekend in baseball, men's and women's tennis, track and field, women's golf, and women's softball for a critical SEC series, two SEC tournaments, and a trio of NCAA Regionals.

Canada has a spotty record of supporting intellectual property. Their supreme court just ruled against the patent system for pharmaceuticals and there have been other poor precedents in the creative arena. I am not sure why they have a problem with the concept that stealing ideas, images, and other creative output is just the same as stealing a moose or some maple syrup. It is sad that our closest neighbor is sliding into the mold of India and China when it comes to IP.

Online images and copyright infringement
A dispute between Canadian pro photographer, Barbara Ann and Ottawa radio station HOT 89.9 illustrates the problematic climate in which companies often turn to the Internet for free photographic images. The Internet fosters self-promotion by making it easy for anyone to find your images. That, of course brings the risk of someone using your images for commercial purposes without you giving consent or receiving compensation.
|As part of a Keynote presentation aimed at station advertisers, HOT 89.9 used an image that was found via a Google search, without authorization from, or payment to, the photographer.
Someone at the HOT 89.9 radio station found, via a Google search, a wedding photo that was then used as part of a Keynote slide presentation (shown above) made to potential advertisers. When the station was contacted by the photographer, the image was removed but the two parties remain far apart on an agreement over compensation. You can read the ensuing (and acrimonious) email exchanges between photographer Barbara Ann and NewsCap Radio Vice President Scott Broderick on PetaPixel.
Another recent case of copyright infringement has ended on a much more satisfactory note for both parties, as reported by photographer Theron Humphrey on his Facebook feed. One of his canine images was used in an advertisement by So Delicious Dairy Free, without authorization or payment. Humphrey then asked his Facebook followers to post on the company's wall, asking that the company donate $10,000 to an animal rescue as compensation. The company agreed and is asking its own Facebook fans to recommend a suitable recipient of the donation.
|After being contacted about unauthorized use of dog photographer Theron Humphrey's image, the company took the photographer up on his suggestion to make a large donation to an animal/rescue organization.
Two copyright infringements but with very different results. Which approach would you have chosen?

Probably you need to visit Canada more often to judge it properly or better not judge it at all:)
Canada has an excellent record of supporting the users, the creators and the owners of intellectual property.
I think what you mean to say is that Canada has a spotty record of bending intellectual property rules to only serve the greed of large corporations.
No, its just like Europe, they respect and protect copyrights but they don't hunt-down 10-year-olds for downloading an mp3 from limewire.....
In some cases a copyright infringement can be made by mistake and/or unawareness of the technicalities of the law. The radio station behaved with respect once the matter was brought to their attention. Demanding ridiculous compensation just to "punish" them while they had no ill-intent is, like i said before GREED
The radio station behaved despicably - they wanted a photo to use in promotional material to generate advertising revenue. They had two LEGAL options - 1. pay a photographer to take photos they could use, that would easily have cost $2000 plus. 2. License an existing image for commercial use, depending on volumes this could cost from a few dollars to thousands of dollars. Getty Images may only pay a few bucks to photographers, but they sure as heck don't sell them for a few bucks.
So instead of a legal option, they chose an illegal option and used an award winning photographer's image without her permission. Had they asked her beforehand, they may have only had to pay a nominal fee. Because they didn't, the photographer is perfectly reasonable asking them to pay what it would have cost them to commission the image. If her rate for a day's wedding shooting is $4000, then requesting $2000 for commercial use of one of her images is reasonable in my view.
Isn't dpreview violating copy right by posting that image?
Reporting news is one of the fair use considerations.
Yes, they are. However they would also likely prevail in court by using a Fair Use defense for using it as part of a legitimate new story. Fair Use is not a right, but a valid defense - a subtle but necessary distinction.
What is sad is that even though dpreview is doing nothing wrong. They are presumed to be guilty first and would have to prove fair use in order to overturn a decision to take down the material that the copy right holder made and not the court system.
Station: in the wrong, putting forth a good faith effort to resolve the situation, all along behaving in a professional manner
Photographer: in the right, but coming across as both unreasonable and down right rude.
Not exactly. The fact that I *can* license my images for use by anybody doesn't mean I *have to*. This isn't a simple recovery of lost revenue, it's more of a "you've hurt my brand, and I wouldn't have licensed the image to you in the first place" deal. It's hard enough raising yourself to a market niche above Herb down the street with his D3000 and kit lens without having some moron in a marketing department make you look like an "anything for a buck" practitioner. How willing do you think clients would be to hire you if they thought that their pictures are likely to be selling pizza next week? There is a LOT of room for punitive charges here.
Look, someone at the radio station did a google image search for a particular company and when an image popped up as a result of that search they mistakenly thought it belonged to the company. When the mistake was pointed out the station withdrew the image, apologized and offered fair compensation. Copyright infringement is a serious issue and educating people about it is not helped by this trivial case.
Oh the radio station thought they wear steleing from some-one else. and did not need to contact the Co for pemishon an example of a sytematic culture of low esteame for photographers that is unfortunatly far to comon
EXIF data aside, if someone uses a picture for any reason, and it is not one they took themselves then they have clearly stolen the image.
I don't paste a sign on my car claiming ownership and I wouldn't expect to need to do so. If I leave it unlocked then it is not giving permission for someone to take it "because they didn't realise they shouldn't..."
I wish the world would stop treating creative works as freebees just because they saw them on the internet. Theft is theft and if a company has employees taking images without owners' permissions then time has come for an education.
As to fees...? I'd be looking for a day rate + useage % + 100% for unauthorised useage / time to recover money.
We have much bigger issues in the world than copyright claims. I am not saying that we shouldn't try to stop it. I am just saying that it shouldn't be our number 1 priority.
At the photography site it is bigger issue than perhaps somewhere else, but generally it is a question of tolerance to theft (whatever other petty names it may have in lawyers lingo). And theft is a very big issue everywhere, encompassing and ruining many aspects of human activities, all the way from James Bond types to shoplifting. It's the act of stealing which should be concentrated on, and not the value stolen. Whatever the value, the act is always the same. And a crime (so far).
Stealing? Theft? Shop lifting?
Its called Copyright infringement. And ... its a totally different crime than stealing.
Moreover ... its obviously less serious than stealing your car. Isnt it? Or beating up your kids. Or burning down your house. Or eating your cat.
@Roland Karlsson
Yes, I would definitely consider someone eating my cat as way more serious than Copyright infringement. Forget notions of compensation. The death penalty would not be enough for such a criminal.
I sincerely hope that your cat is alive and well and has NOT suffered such a fate.
I currently have no cat. But I am very fond of the furry things. So, I definitely agree on your opinion.
BTW - I think it is very healthy to set things into perspective. The usage was more or less internal in a company. It was a handful of copies when talking to selected customers. And they had a motivation why they believed it to be right. It was evidently just a mistake, or at least not a deliberate try to swindle the photographer.
There are more urgent issues for the law to concentrate on.
Skönt att höra att ingen katt kommit till skada under denna debatt! (jfr. med Schrödingers katt)
Angående perspektivet på hela händelsen, så tycker jag Shakespeare sa det bäst:
"Much ado about nothing" ;-)
She was very unreasonable and rude. Radio station behaves properly and very politely in they response to the situation.
A polite thief is still a thief.
I don't see why the station should not be punished heavily for their theft. Companies cynically use any images they want and only act repentant when they're caught. It's no different from "Oh, I'm sorry, was that YOUR car I stole by mistake ?".
Punish heavily? For using a photo? You have got perspectives on whats important in life I see.
So copyright infringement is "no different" from stealing a car?
Excuse me, but did you graduate from Harvard or Yale? Your detailed knowledge of the law is amazing.
even as a photographer, i've had web clients accidentially get caught by this, and it can be a horrifying experience for a small business owner who innocently grabs some images that are supposed to be copywrite free and later on the photographer contacts them demanding thousands of dollars for a mistake.
in one case, the photographer asked for amounts well in excess of $20K and the image was found and downloaded from a royalty free image library.
So there seems to be two sides of this case, as a photographer, i don't want my images used without my knowledge, but on the other hand, it's a little ridiculous at the amounts being tossed around as proper compensation.
To be honest, the more this happens, the more "professional" photographers become a dying breed.
Royalty free images are not free. Once the license is bought, it is free to use over and over again, there are no royalties to be paid, "royalty free".
I was caught by this, actually. My web designer used 5-6 small images on my site, taken from a couple of Royalty Free CDs she had purchased. 3 years later, Getty contacted her about several sites which she had made, and asked that the infringing images be taken down. Turns out the CDs didn't actually have the right to transfer a RF license to the buyer (her). She asked if there were any other images on her sites which were infringing and got no answer, so she sent me replacement images for all of the identified files. Yet another three years later, I received a letter from Getty for three images which had not been replaced (not in the infringing set, and from a different CD of art), demanding $2000. The actual licensing cost was ~$360 for the entire time frame at the resolution used. I was screwed - there was no affordable recourse (fight for $25,000+ in court or capitulate). I negotiated down to $1400, wrote the check, and learned a lesson. And I will never buy from Getty - ever.
There is no way to legalize theft, except in a (theoretical) community where thieves prevail. Until such time, any and all creative works and products belong to their authors, unless sold for money or some other means of recompensation has been arranged.
Yes, maybe the lazy, the uncreative, and freeloaders would like it different, but people still get paid for their work in order to live, and the World hasn't gone completely nuts - yet. :)
Lets say - theoretically - just for the sake of an argument - that you did put some images in your gallery pages here at DPReview. Lets also say that I liked one of your images and downloaded it and used it for a party invitation to my friends. What would you lose? What would I steal from you?
OK, let's say I robbed the bank. It is insured, so the insurance company covers the loss. Simplified: I gain, no-one loses. And yet, if they catch me, I will be drawn and quartered (or maybe only thrown in a hole for several lives).
Since we live in the society which does not allow illegal taking of other people's property.
Such as money. And bread. And honor. And property, which includes intellectual property (representing a total of time, knowlege, resource and effort invested in its creation, together with its earning potential). This question has been regulated in Ten Commandments, also way back before that, in all civilizations. Funnywise, there was a code of honor among thieves, too, and heads were rolling for theft - even in such company.
I think you know it already, so there shouldn't be any new moments about it. And a theft is a theft is a theft, regardless of the fact that the whole caste of people live very well indeed by twisting and distorting that fact since Day One.
The aggressive suing of everyone left, right, and centre for ridiculous sums of money is a very American pursuit. I would not consider it to be any part of "civilization".
The Ten Commandments now? Sorry, they were talking about theft of tangible property, largely on the principle that you were depriving the owner the use of their goods. If you stole their cow, they had no milk.
Societies have had various ideas about the rights of authors to benefit from their works (the right to milk the cow), but the first formal statutes establishing the general idea of a copyright are only about 300 years old. Before affordable printed books there was not much need for a law, though governments and church authorities often tried to control the dissemination of dangerous ideas by restricting copying. Printing made that ubiquitous, with tbe exclusive licenses granted by censors to publishers (for fees, of course) being the basis for later patent and copyright law. The rights of authors to profit from their works isn't established until those later statutes
"Lets say - theoretically - just for the sake of an argument - that you did put some images in your gallery pages here at DPReview. Lets also say that I liked one of your images and downloaded it and used it for a party invitation to my friends. What would you lose? What would I steal from you?"
Lets say - theoretically - just for the sake of an argument - someone borrows your home while you're traveling, or sleeps with your wife or girlfriend. You never find out, and you never suffer any negative consequences whatsoever. Maybe it even helped in some ways. What would you lose? What would be taken from you?
Sorry, but I find both parallels to totally bogus. In both cases you did or might harm someone, physically or mentally. Robbing banks definitely hurts the people involved and is a big problem for the society.
If you think me using your images from the net for a birthday invitation is in the same ball park, then you have very strange priorities IMHO.
BTW - just for the record. In the case of my girlfriend sleeping with someone else, I dont know if that really is illegal in US. Is it? Its more of a moral and trust thing.
That's part of my point, Roland. An action can be clearly wrong without being illegal.
radio station was wrong in the first place and photographer was being greedy.
Very good summary.
Agreed. 'Nuff said.
I think the laws should be amended: any content posted online by copyright holder should lose copyright protection and should be open to reproduction, modification and derivative works.
If you don't want others to be exposed to your work - open a gallery or travel and display your works on tour.
time to clear our courts of these nonsensical cases.

Then I will be the first to just steal your idea and post it as my own because I think it is a good one.
oh dear
I can see why someone would feel that way if they had nothing worth protecting, or sharing.
That's the most ridiculous comment I've ever heard! So if you're a photographer who runs a website as part of your business to advertise your work or sell images to customers, it's OK for me to steal them from your website to make money from them?
Are you mental? You're seriously out of touch with reality..
I presume you never paid for a shooting location, a model, never invested any money in the gear, and most importantly -never took the time to develop skill in your art..
The original proposal has its merits.
Of course ... those living on photography will defend their rights with beaks and claws. Thats understood. But ... that does not mean that they are right. Think about it and let it sink in. Even if you dont agree fully. It has some merits. That things put on a web with billions of viewers that can download it without problems cannot really expect all of them to not download the images to use it. That would be naive.
So - if you dont want anyone to use your image - dont put it in sufficient quality on the net. It will be downloaded and used.
What you don't get Roland, that there is a HUGE difference between personal use (desktop background photo on your PC) and commercial use (photo selling a product/service).
Think about it and let it sink in.
Reading posts on here I find it creepy how many people lack intelligence and common sense..
"If you don't want others to be exposed to your work - open a gallery or travel and display your works on tour."
And how do you propose that such a photographer promote their galleries and tours of amazing images? By describing them in text only so that they can avoid posting images? "Come to my show, I can't show you any pictures, but trust me, they're really really awesome pictures!!!"
Another taker calling the rules for the makers!
Oh yes, all of you crybabies are world renowned photographers, recognized for your contribution to the art form. That's why you waste your precious living moments on some website arguing with text on your monitors. Way to go!
Your pictures of cats and crows in flight taken with $10,000 setup are definitely worth protection, because no one else with a camera phone has done anything similar. Oh wait, paid photographers are shooting Olympics with iPhones now? Go justify your camera purchase to other "photographers" who don't take pictures.
AlphaWill - takers? I suppose you are a "maker" who has produced something worth taking? Have i seen your photo exhibit somewhere?
I have to say that in my opinion the radio station behaved reasonably, and the photographer seemed to me to be unpleasant - and greedy.
The first one, sue the hell out of them and make sure everyone finds out.
Why? They used the photo for a more or less internal promotion material. The explanation why they thought it was OK to use it was a little bit dodgy, but not unreasonable. It was obviously a mistake. BTW - dont you have made one of those in your life - mistakes that is?
The law shall be used to catch criminals, and not for harassing clumsy citizens.
BTW - that photographer seems to be a real nasty chick. I dont think she get all that many points from all this.
Copyright issues are a huge problem for photographers, myself included. It can get very frustrating trying to deal with the issue and most of the problems I have had are with professionals that should know better.
I wrote an article about this issue in Canada where I live <a href="http://www.kevinokephotography.com/photography-the-internet-and-copyright-infringement/">Photography and Copyright Infringement</a>
I'm sure it's the same everywhere!
Copyright infringement that hurts the photographer´s business is a huge problem. The infringement that does not, canr be a problem. In this particular case, the radio station would never buy any images from that photographer as she is too expensive. So, the usage can never hurt her.
She might not like it, but thats another business altogether. People do lots of things I dont like. Things that are perfectly legal.
In this particular case, the usage was illegal. But, you can´t claim it hurt her.

Carter is rugby's Messi, says Edwards
Wales coach Shaun Edwards likened All Blacks fly-half Dan Carter to FC Barcelona soccer star Lionel Messi ahead of their clash on November 24.
Edwards was speaking during the lead-up to their game against Samoa at the Millennium Stadium, with Wales entering following a loss to Argentina.
But after what was a truly exceptional performance from Carter against Scotland over the weekend, Edwards found time to praise the mercurial pivot.
"He is a once in a generation player, isn't he?" Edwards told Press Association Sport.
"You have to sometimes stand back - it's like watching Lionel Messi play football - and realise that you are just glad you were around to see him.
"I just hope he doesn't play too good against us.
"I thought after Scotland intercepted a Carter pass and scored a try, it was probably the worst thing that could have happened to them.
"He was absolutely breathtaking after that. He virtually took it upon himself to correct what he had done wrong and the tries flowed for New Zealand."

One example:
The Atlantic once was a highly thought of publication. Now seemingly anyone can write for it with no requirement of being truthful. Leila Hilal wrote Israeli Leader Wrongly Blames UN and Arab States for Palestinian Refugees and claims:
Ayalon is a former Israeli ambassador to the United States and currently a Knesset member representing Yisrael Beitenieu, an ultra-nationalist party that advocates the transfer of Palestinian citizens of Israel as part of a political settlement. An avid user of social media -- recognized by Foreign Policy in their who's who of 100 Tweeters in 2011 -- he maintains a personal website in Hebrew and English, including links to his widely viewed and frequently reposted Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube accounts. The refugee video alone garnered 37,000 hits within the first two weeks of its release, and currently has over 140,000 views. Ayalon reportedly plans to promote the clips, available in eight languages, globally for use in regular school curricula. The deputy foreign minister has particularly strong appeal among some Christian evangelicals and conservative members of U.S. Congress, with whom he and his party have long cultivated ties and to whom much of his communications appears geared. In short, his effort to influence the narrative on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict can have consequences.To call Yisrael Beiteinu an ultra-nationalist party "that advocates transfer of Palestinian citizens of Israel," is deceptive. In its own website, the party describes its policy like this:
The responsibility for primarily Arab areas such as Umm Al-Fahm and the triangle will be transferred to the Palestinian Authority. In parallel, Israel will officially annex Jewish areas in Judea and Samaria. Israel is our home; Palestine is theirs.

How would four years of a John Kerry Administration differ from a second term under George W. Bush? With the November election only two months away, finance executives must soon wrestle with that question, and they must do so as corporate managers as well as individual citizens.
Their current inclinations are clear enough. According to a recent poll of 145 readers of CFO magazine, finance executives favor the President over his Democratic challenger from Massachusetts by 71 percent to 28 percent. And 75 percent thinks Bush will be better than Kerry for their businesses.
At the same time, most businesspeople subscribe to political views that were famously summed up as, "It's the economy, Stupid." Although Bill Clinton likes to take credit for the 1990s economy, most businesspeople also agree that the economy is driven less by the President than by the Federal Reserve. That view gains support from a new study by the CFA Institute (formerly the Association for Investment Management and Research), in Charlottesville, Virginia. The results show that from 1937 to 2000, the Fed's monetary decisions had a much greater correlation with the direction of the financial markets than the fiscal and regulatory policies of the executive branch. "Monetary policy overwhelms everything else," says CFA executive vice president Robert R. Johnson.
But most mainstream economists believe that monetary and fiscal policies are intertwined, and that the state of the federal budget thus has a big impact on interest rates — and the economy. All things being equal, bigger federal deficits mean higher rates. And no one has a keener appreciation of the impact of the deficit on interest rates and the cost of capital than finance executives. CFO's survey notes that a whopping 86 percent of CFOs are concerned about the size of the deficit, which the Congressional Budget Office projects will reach $2.7 trillion by 2014.
So far neither Bush nor Kerry has demonstrated much real interest in the federal deficit. (To be fair, Kerry did once vote for a balanced budget as senator, and in his Presidential nomination acceptance speech promised to cut the deficit in half. Bush promises to do much the same.) A closer look at the actions and words of both candidates and their advisers shows, however, that they would take radically different approaches to addressing this issue over the next four years. And the effectiveness with which either handles the deficit most likely will determine much of the next Administration's agenda.
The Limits to Growth
Leading economists in the Bush camp, from current advisers such as Gregory Mankiw and Stephen Friedman to former aides like Lawrence Lindsey and Glenn Hubbard, have argued that the United States can run large budget deficits without significant economic consequence, as long as the growth of the economy outpaces that of the deficit. "We're generating a lot more [tax] revenue per dollar of GDP than we were in 2001," notes Randall Kroszner, a former member of Bush's Council of Economic Advisers and now a professor of economics at the University of Chicago Graduate School of Business. Kroszner contends that as long as that trend continues, a deficit that falls within the current projected range "isn't a problem."

AS WE CONTINUE to experience a lagging economy in which meetings are postponed, canceled, or scaled back, planners and speakers bureaus are working together to reduce the costs of providing great speakers.
While certain ideas — or myths — for negotiating speaker fees and reducing expenses sound good in theory, what planners consider to be an incentive and what actually persuades a professional speaker to accept a date are not always one and the same. What follows are several money-saving ideas planners have asked me about over the last year, accompanied by the realities involved and a few effective solutions.
Our incentive meeting is on a cruise and we will provide an all-expenses-paid trip for the speaker to join us for the entire week. In return, we would like him to reduce his honorarium.
Reality: In this economy, speakers cannot afford to take themselves out of the circuit for a week. Each day on your ship is a day they must forgo another fee for speaking.
Better idea: Arrange to have the speaker open your conference before the ship leaves port. Some ships may even allow you to have a speaker get on and off a ship mid-trip, but with security measures imposed post-9/11, this is typically not the case.
We are having back-to-back incentive programs at a world-class resort and we would like the speaker to be the opening keynoter for both meetings. Since the second group comes in five days after the first group arrives, we will pay all expenses for the speaker to spend the week with us and he can enjoy a wonderful vacation for free.
Reality: A true vacation for a speaker is the luxury of staying home for a few days, so this offer is more of a deterrent than an incentive. As in myth #1, the speaker's time is money and the speaker may even charge a hefty surcharge in addition to the normal fee and expenses if he is required to spend the week.
Better idea: Why not have the same speaker be the closing keynote at one meeting and the opening speaker for the second? Not only will this reduce the amount you pay for expenses, it may also reduce the speaker's honorarium since speakers will often offer a discount for booking back-to-back keynotes over two days.
We expect our speaker to reduce her fee significantly since we are pre-purchasing 300 of her books as gifts for our attendees.
Reality: Even though you will get a discount on books purchased in quantity, very often book sales are a money-maker for the publisher only and not the speaker directly.
Better idea: Tell the speaker you have pre-purchased books and see if she will agree to stay for 45 to 60 minutes after the presentation to do a book signing and/or a photo opportunity at no additional cost.
We will provide the speaker with zone airfare tickets or free tickets, but he must book through our travel agency.
Reality: Speakers' schedules change because of last-minute bookings and unforeseen events. Most speakers book their tickets with little advance notice and they often fly directly from one booking to another — but zone fares and free tickets require advance booking, nonrefundable tickets, and round-trip travel.
Better idea: Ask your speakers bureau to negotiate a flat travel fee or ask if the speaker will pro-rate the airfare between all groups whose meetings are before and after yours.

Just recently I was doing some security consulting for a corporation in the area, and had to use a Windows 7 Professional computer, unlike my normal Linux setup. I tried everything to spoof the MAC address and it wouldn't work. After doing some intense research and looking at Microsoft's TechNet forums, Intel postings, and just random websites, I found a few different options, ranging from costing a few dollars, to a few free solutions, so I said what the heck and gave it a shot, starting first with what I knew normally worked, regedit. Needless to say, it didn't work, and discouraged me. Then, attempting to go to Network and Sharing Center, and modifying the properties of the adapter, the option that was "supposed" to be there wasn't, and nonetheless I was fed up, and well, said what the heck, and tried SMAC MAC Address Changer, which set me back $19.99 (I know there was a trial, but the trial was more of a demo instead of a trial). Then, out of the worst luck possible, SMAC didn't work, at all. Fed up, I just put it away for the day, with my mind going back to the drawing board. Funny thing is, I felt like I had tried everything, but didn't realize (at the time) I jumped the gun on a few options, and decided to take another look. After finding a program that a TechNet poster recommended, I tried MacMakeUp, because, well it was a free software after all, and I didn't have anything to lose. And IT WORKED! So, I have replicated the steps below, for anyone who is sharing all the problems I had.
Step 1: Download MacMakeUp from Softpedia (http://www.softpedia.com/progDownload/Mac-Makeup-Download-9802.html)
NOTE: Please be aware that I, Michael R. McNeill, as well as, Connected Site Solutions, Softpedia, or anybody else will NOT accept responsibility for the software you are downloading. Softpedia does check the files for malware, but nobody can guarantee 100% that they are clean. Keep in mind that the integrity and safety of any downloaded software may be affected if it is modified via unofficial patches or other methods. For your own protection ALWAYS check downloaded files for viruses.
Step 2: Open Control Panel
Step 3: Select Network and Internet
Step 4: Select Network and Sharing Center
Step 5: Select "Change adapter settings" in the left sidebar
Step 6: Select which adapter you wish to modify and right click on disable. (KEEP THIS WINDOW UP/MINIMISED! DO NOT CLOSE IT!)
Step 7: Continue through the User Account Control (UAC) Prompt (if applicable)
Step 8: Extract the downloaded ZIP file.
Step 9: Right click on MacMakeUp and select "Run as Administrator"
Step 10: Continue through the User Account Control (UAC) Prompt (if applicable)
Step 11: Select which adapter you want to change
Step 12: Enter your Modified MAC Address, or hit "Generate Random" and select "Completely Random MAC"
Step 13: Select "Change"
Step 14: You should get the message "MAC spoofed. Remember to disable/enable the adapter!"
Step 15: Open the minimized Network Connections window and right-click the adapter you just spoofed. Select enable.
Step 16: Continue through the User Account Control (UAC) Prompt (if applicable)
Step 17: To verify, search in the start menu for "cmd" (without the quotes) and when it finds CMD right-click it and select "Run as Administrator".
Step 18: Continue through the User Account Control (UAC) Prompt (if applicable)
Step 19: Now in the command prompt type "ipconfig /all" (without the quotes) and look for the adapter you modified!
Step 20: You should have a modified MAC! Congratulations!

What Would Jesus Do If He Was King? Reader Participation Requested!Posted Thursday, October 13, 2011, at 5:01 PM
Of course, we know that Jesus Christ is already King in the spiritual sense. When one's heart is given over to Christ, the Kingdom is set up. Jesus said that His Kingdom is not of this world (John 18:36). He also said that His Kingdom is within you (Luke 17:21). When a person gives his or heart to Christ, He becomes their King and writes His law in their heart.
But, what would Jesus do if He became King over all the earth? What kind of changes would take place? Would He put in place the ideals of some political party? Would He be a conservative, or would He be a liberal?
1. I am going to take a premillennial point of view, although Methodism (from which the Holiness Movement came) and many other mainline churches take a postmillennial or amillennial view. Thus, I believe that Jesus Christ is coming again to rule and reign over all the earth. This will be a literal reign. So, even though you may take a different view of His second coming than I do, just imagine with me what you think Jesus would do if He literally became King.
2. Jesus is not Republican or Democrat or conservative or liberal. I don't think He would use any of the ideas in a political party platform!
3. Jesus won't be elected into office. When He comes back, He will come back as King over all ( Zechariah 14:9; ITimothy 6:15; Revelation 17:14; 19:15-17).
4. He will set up His Kingdom in Jerusalem (Zechariah 14).
5. He will not establish the Constitution of the United States as His constitution. He won't even establish what is in the Bill of Rights.
6. One must realize that the form of government will be a theocracy. That is a "form of government in which God or a deity is recognized as the supreme civil ruler" (dictionary.com).
7. The Constitution of His Kingdom will no doubt be the Ten Commandments. It's preamble? "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself." (Matthew 22:37-39; Mark 12:30,31; Luke 10:27)
Jesus Christ's Kingdom will require love and honor to God. Thus, He will require respect for His Sovereignty (1st Commandment). He will require respect for His Character (2nd Commandment). He will require respect for His Name. He will require respect for His Day. It will be illegal to worship a different God or make an image depicting God for worship. It will be illegal to use His Name for cursing or exclamation. It will be illegal to work (except for necessity) or do pleasure, or business on His Day of rest.
His Kingdom will require respect for our neighbors. It will be illegal to show disrepect for parents, guardians, or the elderly. It will be illegal to commit adultery. It will be illegal to take something belonging to someone else. Murder (killing, abortion, war, vengeance resulting in death) will be illegal. Lying or dishonesty will be illegal. Covetousness will be illegal.
8. The principles taught in the Sermon on the Mount will also be the law of the land. Instead of a Bill of Rights, there will be a Bill of Beattitudes!
9. In Christ's earthly Kingdom there will be NO poor, middle, or rich classes. This is because the economics of Jubilee http://www.dailystatesman.com/blogs/1576... will be the economics of His Kingdom!
10. There will be NO racial disparity or segregation. Racism is contrary to Christ's Kingdom. All will be equal in Christ's Kingdom!
11. According to Zechariah 14, representatives from all the nations of the world will required to assemble once a year in Jerusalem for the Feast of Tabernacles.
12. Peace and Joy and Righteousness will prevail in the Kingdom of Jesus Christ. There will be no war any longer. All will get along with each other.
13. The motto? Holiness unto the Lord (Zechariah 14:20,21)
14. Last but not least: Satan will be bound for one-thousand years! (Revelation 20:1-4)
Well, what do you think? Can you add some more?
Showing comments in chronological order
[Show most recent comments first]
In contemplating Christ's return, I would only have questions. Why would he want to scrap the US Constitution and the Declaration of Independence when they reflect good citizenship and defend each life? Would it not be better to force compliance with them and obedience to them? American problems today come from violating our Constitution and Declaration of Independence and the laws of the Bible. If all obeyed them, murder and vices would cease.Bad government and bad citizenship kill with alcohol,abortion, marijuana, gambling, etc.People and government see the deaths from alcohol and let it go on knowing they are killing. Instead of these people and governments killing us and not caring,Christ will be in charge and won't he want us to live and insure that our governments and neighbors will not kill us?
When Christ comes back, won't He bring Washington and the others with him to be over the nation forever. Won't He lift the Mayflower Compact over us that recognizes Him and stop the wicked people of today from denying it?
Will we be able to walk on water, change the molecular structure of something into something else as He did at Cana, multiply bread and meat as He did the loaves and fishes, and heal people? We don't know, but we do know that it will be a Golden age and we will be living in it because He promised it would be a golden age and we would live in it.
The only thing we know for certain is that He will return. What He does we can be sure it will be good and lead to good things.
Would not Christ respect the nations and only require of them an excellent morality and every knee bow and every tongue confess that He is King?
I wouldn't have to be forced to do that.
Every person and every government should prepare for Christ's return by obeying Christ's laws and not harming his neighbor. Christ will return. That is the thing we can be certain of and we can make certain that we are obeying Christ's words.
The USA should be prepared for Christ's return and everybody can help by preparing themselves by living right and recognizing Christ as Lord and King.
Americans, let's get it together together and each one of us do good and respect each other.

My wife Susan (Sue) and I have lived in Soddard County since September of '96. We both graduated from Bible Missionary Institute, our denomination's small four year Bible college in Rock Island, Illinois. I was born and raised in Pomona, California while my wife was raised in Monmouth, Illinois. I am an ordained minister in the Bible Missionary Church. We attend and are members of the Dexter Bible Missionary Church. I've been employed by Tyson Foods for 14 years. My wife is a CNA. I've always been conservative in my political views and have always been active in politics and the Pro-Life movement. My politics have not always been Republican. From 2003-2009 I was vice-chairman of the Prohibition National Committee, the steering arm of the Prohibition Party. In '09, I joined the Constitution Party of Missouri. But, I've been attending the GOP rallys and club meetings since last year and have been campaigning for certain Republican candidates since we moved to this area. I'm on the SEMO Life Chain Committee.
