We know that the copyright of “Good Morning to All” has expired. This means that the melody is in the public domain and it is important that it belongs to it. The public domain is a huge reservoir from which future artists can draw to create new works. The public domain allows traditional stories and mythologies to develop and evolve when Shakespeare transformed an Italian folktale into Romeo and Juliet and William Bernstein transformed Romeo and Juliet into a West Side Story. The public domain allows my two-year-old son to rewrite “the wheels of the bus go in circles” to “The train on the bus is leaving – we are leaving” or whatever his young creative mind desires. As a bus driver, I will tell you that it is for safety reasons to take a child out of the stroller and fold it. A child in a stroller (mainly because it has wheels) can be started in the event of an accident. Even a child can be evacuated more safely in the unlikely event of a fire. Open strollers, strollers, etc.
also pose a safety risk to other passengers, as they block aisles and doors. Also, folded strollers, strollers, etc. limit space in a bus or subway for passengers (which is very selfish of you). Security will come and should take precedence over convenience. As a driver, I can also say that I am uncomfortable because it makes me late to wait for these strollers to be folded, but I agree with this disadvantage because the safety of the child comes first. That said, me and other drivers and their respective agencies don`t want to be involved in neglecting your child`s safety. In other words, if you want to sacrifice your child`s safety, do it alone, don`t involve others. So I don`t care if you`re uncomfortable, because your child`s safety is much more important. Public transportation is not designed as a pleasure cruise. It is designed for safe transport, that`s all.
It is true that some transportation companies have followed the rules and allowed unfolded strollers, carts, etc., but they also violate federal laws in this area. They (some of them) have since been prosecuted for lack of safety protocols. For all the moms and dads who have the courage to neglect the safety of their children, it`s a shame. We may not know how or why our “wheels of work” were institutionalized. Most of our “wheels” don`t need to be reinvented. They are now part of our professional canon for a reason: they work. However, in today`s business environment that requires continuous improvement, these “working wheels” can be explored as opportunities for fruit at your fingertips. More importantly, circumstances change, goals change, reasons for doing something a certain way are not universally applicable, and over time, “working wheels” evolve on their own.
Our “working wheels” are valuable tools, but all wheels need to be realigned at some point. After that, there are a lot of possibilities. Once strollers are legalized on public transit, agencies can announce the improvement, as the CTA has done with clues and videos. As buses and trains need to be replaced, agencies have the option to purchase low-floor vehicles, which has made TransLink a priority. Improvements to bus and train stops can make it easier for caregivers to use strollers. Chicago`s mother, Jessie Williams, wanted to take the train more often, but since only one in five stations had an elevator, she took the bus. Copenhagen bus stops had GPS-connected electronic transport trackers on buses. You didn`t need to own a smartphone to know when the next bus would arrive, and instead of sprinkling yourself with the frequent “When is the bus coming?”, your child can watch the bus stop tracking count the minutes.
The doors that open to this area have a bicycle symbol on the platform where passengers with wheels gather. Bold graphics on the trains are also geared towards passengers. Recognizing that the public domain exists and has precedent is not a “destruction of copyright.” It is a didactic point of view. The idea of copyright is that something can be created and then owned, but not for eternity. The song is 125 years old. It is older than Radio-Bubbeleh. It is reasonable to argue that “Happy Birthday” should be in the public domain. It is an exaggeration to claim that its legal status affects what children can do at home. The reason for the stroller policy (strollers adapted for the use of a child with a disability are welcome and can be secured in the same way as wheelchairs) is that they are bulky and, unlike bus seats, have wheels. That stroller — along with the child in it — can become a rocket that flies down the driveway and front of the bus, damaging the stroller and probably doing no good for your child either. Like Copenhagen, Vancouver`s TransLink allows open-top strollers to be installed in the preferred seating area at the front of the bus.
If the area is already full or if a driver with reduced mobility has boards, caregivers will need to fold up their strollers and remove them. TransLink has also been committed since 1996 to improving accessibility through the purchase of low-floor buses. Low-floor buses and trains make it easy for all passengers to board, no ramps are required. A redesign of the SkyTrain cars also increased capacity by a third, giving drivers more space with wheels. Most of our “work wheels” are based on applicable law and nobly serve their purpose. These wheels have been successfully tested or at least used over time without adverse results. Sometimes these “wheels of work” have become institutionalized crutches because someone decided long ago that these words were the only acceptable way forward. Or, as often happens, work dealing with a new position is once used and tacitly approved by internal authorities and then included in the acceptable “work wheels” canon. For most parents, such an experience would have eliminated any idea of getting back on the bus with the steering wheel. But I didn`t really have a choice. But King County Metro was the sore point of my car-free life.
The agency`s rules required me to fold Orion`s stroller. With all the contents of the stroller and Orion in hand, I had to find a seat before the bus staggered forward. The challenge didn`t even stop on board. I had to squeeze into a seat with all our belongings and try to stop Orion from grabbing the dirty wheels of the stroller for the duration of the ride. When we arrived at our stop, I had to cancel the whole event. Our “working wheels” are our lifeline for reasoning. So much in the law is unknown. We do not work in equations, we work in convictions. It`s a rare event when we`re working on something important that we know will be as successful as we imagine it will be when it`s brought into the world.
In reality, pleadings may not be as convincing when in the hands of an investigator, and what were considered clear and concise contractual clauses may prove ambiguous years after execution. Also, at some point in our careers, most of us had our work reviewed before it was brought into the world. These reviewers had their own quirks and preferences that influence our work style, intentionally or unintentionally, even though years have passed since those assessments. Especially in the case of work that, if everyone has done their job well, is never reviewed by the courts or arbitration, it can be difficult to verify the value of our “work wheels”. If it has not failed or succeeded externally, to what extent can we improve something that meets our needs and passes a superficial analysis? For in-house lawyers who provide transactional and business support, these “working wheels” can be the closest thing to the certainty you have on a day-to-day basis. Because we use these wheels so often, they have to be reliable. Instead of giving them the attention they need to ensure that these “wheels” continue to serve the purpose we believe they serve, we take them for granted. After all, it was acceptable to use the “wheels” in the past, so they should be good to use in the future, and changing them probably requires approval or at least attention to the fact that there could be a problem that could lead to a lot more work. It`s easier to trust that the “wheels” are reliable and let someone else fix the maintenance problem. It is up to A to determine that the work is not protected by copyright, and there is no foolproof registry where you can search for a particular work. One form of proof would be to look for a copy of the song published in the 18th century.
It can be established that the work is no longer protected by expert opinion (for example, a musicologist who might determine that the song existed at an early stage). For example, the song “Misirlou” was recorded in the United States in 1941 by Nikos Roubanis, although the song already existed in the 1920s and there has been no legal challenge to its copyright. From a legal point of view, it is the one who holds the copyright, except in Greece, where the copyright is shared with Michalis Patrinos.
