Bubblegum comes in many different flavors, but the most common is the bubblegum flavor, which is actually a combination of many different flavors. Bubblegum has traditionally been dyed pink, since that was its original color. Today, however, many different colors—blue, purple, and even orange—adorn the outsides of bubblegum. The Fleer company was the first company to invent an improved bubblegum that didn’t stick to the face and still formed decent-sized bubbles. This bubblegum formula was named and marketed as “Dubble Bubble.” Dubble Bubble’s inventor is supposedly Walter E. Diemer, but this has not been confirmed. Dubble Bubble was the first bubblegum on the market that sold well. It was soon followed by Bazooka, Bubble Yum and others. Cotton Candy William Morrison and John C. Wharton, candymakers from Nashville, Tennessee, invented cotton candy in 1897. Cotton candy is a confection made out of finely granulated sugar. The process it is put through makes it appear like a large quantity of cotton (though in reality, there is no cotton in cotton candy). The sugar is heated in a spinning bowl with tiny holes in it. As the bowl spins, the heated sugar is flung through the holes, making the sugar change into long strings which are very light in texture. Morrison and Wharton introduced cotton candy to the world at the St. Louis World's Fair in 1904, selling it for 25 cents a box. They sold over 65,000 boxes at the fair. Cotton Candy has been known by many names. First, it was called “Fairy Floss.” In the UK, it is called “Candy Floss.” In France, cotton candy is known as Barbe à papa, which translates as “Papa's beard.” Glue Glue has been around for centuries. Experts believe that glue has been used since the year 4000 B.C. Archeologists have discovered clay pots that had been repaired with tree sap glue. We know that the Greeks used adhesives in their carpentry work and even created glue recipes from various substances. The Romans used tar and beeswax for their glue. The first glue patent was obtained in Britain, in the year 1750. The patent was given for glue that had been made from fish. After that, patents were rapidly issued for other adhesives made from rubber, animal bones, starch, casein and other various substances. Today, we have a vast amount of glues and adhesives available for our use, including washable glue, glue that changes colors once it is dried, gel glue, Crazy Glue, hot glue used mostly by craftmakers, wood glue and more! Paper Paper has many uses--printing, writing, wrapping, copying, greeting cards, invitations, and so on. The first paper was made out of strips of papyrus. This system was developed in 3500 BC by the ancient Egyptians. They dampened the cut papyrus and wove it into a criss-cross pattern before pressing the woven pieces flat into sheets of paper. The word paper comes from “papyrus.” Paper that is more like what we use today is thought to have been invented in China by Ts’ai Lun in the 2nd century AD. The legend says that he watched a wasp making its nest by chewing up pieces of wood or bamboo and mixing it with its saliva, then shaping the nest out of the mixture. Ts’ai Lun made a paste of bamboo and water and pressed the sheet and then placed it outside to dry. The paper that we use today is made from vegetable matter or the wood of certain trees. Some of these trees include fir, pine and spruce. The wood is cut into very fine pieces, then mixed with water and other chemicals and heated. The chemicals and heating destroy the lignin, or the structure that holds the plant cells together. This process produces what is called “wood pulp.” To get a piece of paper, the wood pulp must be cleaned and whitened and then pressed into thin sheets of paper. Crayons Edwin Binney and C. Harold Smith were the inventors of the Crayola brand crayons. These crayons, invented in 1903, were the first children’s crayons ever made. The first Crayola crayon product was a box of eight crayons, and the colors included were black, brown, blue, purple, green, red, orange and yellow. The first box sold for just a nickel. The word Crayola was created from the French words “craie,” which means chalk, and “oleaginous,” which means oily. Crayons are still popular today and are available in many different forms. They can be metallic or glitter, can glow in the dark, and can be found in boxes that hold various sizes of crayons as well as various skin tone colors. The largest box contains 150 different colors and is called the “Telescoping Crayon Tower.” The Crayola Company has expanded its product offerings to include colored pencils, markers and Slick Stix™.

Today, Fruit Roll-ups are a fruit snack made from a pectin-based candy and flavored with fruit flavors. The Fruit Roll-up is wrapped in a piece of cellophane and then encased in a foil packet. General Mills introduced Fruit Roll-Ups into the food market in 1980. The first four original flavors were Strawberry, Cherry, Apple and Apricot. Of these first four flavors, only one of them—Strawberry—is still sold today. Ice Cream Cone Ernest Hamwi, a Syrian immigrant, is credited with creating the ice cream cone during the World’s Fair in St. Louis, Missouri, in the year 1904. Hamwi rolled up some of the waffle pastries he was selling, and gave them to Arnold Fornachou when Fornachou ran out of dishes in which to serve his ice cream. The word of this new invention spread through the fair and other vendors teamed up and copied the idea. After the fair, many of the other vendors claimed credit for the idea, but the invention of the ice cream cone is still credited to Ernest Hamwi. Hamwi opened the Missouri Cone Company in 1910. He called his edible container for ice cream, the “ice cream cone.” In 1912, Frederick Bruckman acquired a patent for his pastry cone-making machine. LEGOs Ole Kirk Chirstiansen founded the LEGO Company in Denmark in the year 1932. Christiansen was a carpenter from the village of Billund. The word LEGO was formed from two Danish words, “LEg GOdt,” which means “play well.” Christiansen’s son, Godtfred Christiansen, invented the interlocking system that Legos use today. He began creating models when he was 17 years old. His system was patented in 1958. It wasn’t until 1961 that LEGOs were sold in America. Today, LEGOs are immensely popular and the LEGO Company is one of the largest toy manufacturers in the world. These construction toys are available all over the world. Currently, LEGOs come in 55 different colors and 2,200 different elements. The minifigures were not invented until 1978. The company has expanded to include the creation of the LEGOland amusement park with one located in California. Source: www.lego.com. Band-Aids The Band-Aid was invented by Earle Dickson in 1921. Dickson had noticed that the bandages his wife used when she cut herself cooking rarely stayed on long enough. In the 1920’s, most people used a piece of gauze and tape to bandage small cuts. When Dickson’s boss, James Johnson, president of Johnson & Johnson, saw the invention, he started producing and marketing the bandages as the “Band-Aid.” He eventually promoted Dickson to the position of vice-president. Light Bulb The first electric light ever made was an electric battery--a piece of carbon and connecting wires. Humphry Davy, an English scientist, made the invention called an “electric arc” in the year 1800. In 1860, Sir Joseph Wilson Swan, an English physicist, began tackling the idea of creating a longer lasting electric light. He worked with carbon paper filaments and found that while these filaments didn’t burn long, they did produce a nice light. He showcased his electric lamps in Newcastle, England in the year 1878. Thomas Alva Edison, an American inventor, experimented with many different kinds of filaments, attempting to find the material that created the best glow and was also the longest lasting. Eventually, after thousands of tests, he found a filament that could glow for over 1500 hours. Lewis Howard Latimer, a member of Edison’s research team, invented a carbon filament that was patented in 1881. Only a year later, he went on to develop and patent a manner of manufacturing his carbon filaments. In 1910 William David Coolidge invented a tungsten filament, which lasted longer and glowed brighter. Lincoln Logs John Lloyd Wright invented Lincoln Logs in 1916. After watching the building of the Imperial Hotel in Tokyo, Wright was inspired to make Lincoln Logs. He got the idea for the shape of the Lincoln Logs from looking at the pieces that were used to create the foundation of the Imperial Hotel. These interlocking beams made the building earthquake-proof. While Lincoln Logs are often associated with Abraham Lincoln (because of the log cabin that can build with the toys), it is believed that the name may have come from Wright’s father, Frank Lloyd Wright. Frank Wright had been given the name Frank “Lincoln” Wright when he was born. Originally made of 100 percent wood, the Lincoln Logs kit included doors and windows, and longer wooden strips to be used for the roofing. In the 1970’s, the logs were created out of plastic. Today, many sets include the wood pieces once again. Rubber Erasers Edward Nairne is given the credit for creating the first rubber eraser in the year 1770. Nairne had entered a competition which asked entrants to invent something. The story goes that Nairne meant to grab a piece of wax to erase something, but mistakenly grabbed a piece of rubber. He discovered the erasing qualities of rubber out of pure luck. Nairne sold these rubber erasers in his store for three shillings per half-inch cube, a high cost for a small piece of rubber. Did you know that pencils did not always have erasers? In fact, many pencils today still do not have them attached. In 1858, Hyman Lipman received a patent for attaching the eraser to the top of a pencil. Many of today’s erasers are made of vinyl or a synthetic rubber mixture. Pencil manufacturers call the erasers “plugs.” Additional Source: http://www.pencils.com Tide Laundry Detergent In the 1920’s, before the invention of laundry detergent, Americans used flakes of soap to clean their laundry. The flakes did not work well in washing machines because they left behind a ring of dirt around the top of the machine and dulled the colors of the clothing. So the company Procter & Gamble decided that they were going to create a better detergent. In 1933, researchers found the chemicals that would take dirt out of the clothes. They created a detergent called “Dreft.” But this detergent only worked on lightly soiled clothing. In 1942, “Tide,” a detergent for heavily soiled clothing, was created. Tide was first offered to test markets in 1946 and became an instant hit. The liquid form of this laundry detergent was not offered until 1984. Microwave Ovens The microwave oven was invented by accident after World War II, during the research of microwave radiation. In 1946, Dr. Percy LeBaron Spencer, an engineer, happened to have a piece of chocolate in his pocket as he worked with magnetrons, which produce microwaves. When he realized the chocolate had melted, he went on to experiment with other foods. Spencer discovered that microwaves would cook food. This discovery led to the creation of the microwave oven, which offers a faster way to cook and heat up foods. The first microwave oven, offered for sale in 1947, cost $5,000 and weighed over 750 lbs. Later that same year, the “Radarange” was produced. It was the size of a refrigerator and cost between $2,000 and $3,000. The first model for home use was introduced in the early 1950s and the price was just under $1295. Countertop microwave ovens, 100-volt models, were produced in 1967 and sold for around $500. Today, microwave ovens come in all sizes and prices, some even selling below $75. Pencil The pencil was invented in the 1600’s when a large graphite deposit was discovered near Borrowdale, England. The graphite was cut into sheets with saws and then cut into smaller square rods about the size of a pencil. Credit is given to the Italians for inserting the graphite into wooden holders, thus forming the pencil we use today. Erasers were not attached to the tops of pencils until the mid-1800’s.

It’s very simple to make (you can even used canned goods). This recipe serves six people, and you will be stuffed when you are finished. Six (6) chicken breasts, cut into thin, long strips One (1) large can of green enchilada sauce (make sure it's enchilada sauce and not some other green taco sauce) One (1) small can of chopped green chilies One (1) chopped onion One (1) thinly sliced, green bell pepper Three (3) crushed cloves of garlic Three (3) tablespoons of olive oil Corn or flour tortillas Heat the oil on high in a medium frying pan. Once the oil is hot, toss in the chopped onions and sliced bell pepper. Cook them until they are brown and caramelized. Then turn heat down to medium low. Next toss the raw chicken strips into the pan. The chicken should cook quickly (in four or five minutes). Next, add the cans of enchilada sauce and green chilies. Add the crushed garlic last (burnt garlic makes food bitter). After stirring, place a lid over the pan, turn off the heat, and let it sit for 15 minutes. Meanwhile, get six to eight festive bowls ready. Make some guacamole (see recipe below) and prepare separate bowls of sour cream, olives, salsa, chopped cilantro, chopped green onions, grated cheese, shredded lettuce, cubed fresh tomatoes, Spanish rice, refried beans, or anything else that will go well with the Green Chicken. Set everything out, buffet style. Next, warm your tortillas. I use a Comal, which is a cast iron flat pan. But use whatever you have available. Keep the tortillas hot in foil or in a tortilla warmer, or you can just pile them on a plate and let them sit in a warm oven as you are finish the preparation of everything else. Serve the Green Chicken over tortillas with plenty of cheese and your other prepared toppings. Prepare to chow down! Recipes contributed by Gena Suarez Publisher, www.TheHomeschoolMagazine.com www.TheOldSchoolhouseStore.com Bonus Recipe: Suarez Guacamole Five (5) very ripe avocados, nice and soft. In the store, gently squish on them to make sure they are soft. One (1) chopped tomato One (1) chopped red onion One (1) chopped jalapeño pepper One (1) tablespoon lime or lemon juice Salt and pepper (1 teaspoon of each) Two (2) teaspoons paprika (I use a Hungarian hot variety) One (1) teaspoon chili powder (and if you're really brave, one (1) teaspoon cayenne) Mash your avocados until they are nice and creamy (remove the outer skin and the big pit first). Then toss in the other ingredients and mix well. Place in fridge for one hour. Enjoy! If you enjoyed either of these recipes, please email me and let me know. You can reach me at gena@tosmag.com. Chicken Tortilla Soup 2 skinless, boneless chicken breasts 1/2 teaspoon olive oil 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin 2 (14.5 ounce) cans chicken broth 1 cup frozen corn kernels 1 cup black beans 1 cup chopped onion 1/2 teaspoon chili powder 1 tablespoon lime juice 1 cup chunky salsa 8 ounces corn chips 1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese (optional) Guacamole (optional) Sour cream (optional) In a large pot over medium heat, sauté the chicken in the oil for 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cumin and mix well. Then add the broth, corn, black beans, onion, chili powder, lime juice, and salsa. Reduce heat to low and simmer for about 20 to 30 minutes. Put corn chips into individual bowls and pour soup over chips. Top with the Monterey Jack cheese, guacamole, and a little sour cream.

PREAMBLE The purpose of this License is to make a manual, textbook, or other functional and useful document "free" in the sense of freedom: to assure everyone the effective freedom to copy and redistribute it, with or without modifying it, either commercially or noncommercially. Secondarily, this License preserves for the author and publisher a way to get credit for their work, while not being considered responsible for modifications made by others. This License is a kind of "copyleft", which means that derivative works of the document must themselves be free in the same sense. It complements the GNU General Public License, which is a copyleft license designed for free software. We have designed this License in order to use it for manuals for free software, because free software needs free documentation: a free program should come with manuals providing the same freedoms that the software does. But this License is not limited to software manuals; it can be used for any textual work, regardless of subject matter or whether it is published as a printed book. We recommend this License principally for works whose purpose is instruction or reference. 1. APPLICABILITY AND DEFINITIONS This License applies to any manual or other work, in any medium, that contains a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it can be distributed under the terms of this License. Such a notice grants a world-wide, royalty-free license, unlimited in duration, to use that work under the conditions stated herein. The "Document", below, refers to any such manual or work. Any member of the public is a licensee, and is addressed as "you". You accept the license if you copy, modify or distribute the work in a way requiring permission under copyright law. A "Modified Version" of the Document means any work containing the Document or a portion of it, either copied verbatim, or with modifications and/or translated into another language. A "Secondary Section" is a named appendix or a front-matter section of the Document that deals exclusively with the relationship of the publishers or authors of the Document to the Document's overall subject (or to related matters) and contains nothing that could fall directly within that overall subject. (Thus, if the Document is in part a textbook of mathematics, a Secondary Section may not explain any mathematics.) The relationship could be a matter of historical connection with the subject or with related matters, or of legal, commercial, philosophical, ethical or political position regarding them. The "Invariant Sections" are certain Secondary Sections whose titles are designated, as being those of Invariant Sections, in the notice that says that the Document is released under this License. If a section does not fit the above definition of Secondary then it is not allowed to be designated as Invariant. The Document may contain zero Invariant Sections. If the Document does not identify any Invariant Sections then there are none. The "Cover Texts" are certain short passages of text that are listed, as Front-Cover Texts or Back-Cover Texts, in the notice that says that the Document is released under this License. A Front-Cover Text may be at most 5 words, and a Back-Cover Text may be at most 25 words. A "Transparent" copy of the Document means a machine-readable copy, represented in a format whose specification is available to the general public, that is suitable for revising the document straightforwardly with generic text editors or (for images composed of pixels) generic paint programs or (for drawings) some widely available drawing editor, and that is suitable for input to text formatters or for automatic translation to a variety of formats suitable for input to text formatters. A copy made in an otherwise Transparent file format whose markup, or absence of markup, has been arranged to thwart or discourage subsequent modification by readers is not Transparent. An image format is not Transparent if used for any substantial amount of text. A copy that is not "Transparent" is called "Opaque". Examples of suitable formats for Transparent copies include plain ASCII without markup, Texinfo input format, LaTeX input format, SGML or XML using a publicly available DTD, and standard-conforming simple HTML, PostScript or PDF designed for human modification. Examples of transparent image formats include PNG, XCF and JPG. Opaque formats include proprietary formats that can be read and edited only by proprietary word processors, SGML or XML for which the DTD and/or processing tools are not generally available, and the machine-generated HTML, PostScript or PDF produced by some word processors for output purposes only. The "Title Page" means, for a printed book, the title page itself, plus such following pages as are needed to hold, legibly, the material this License requires to appear in the title page. For works in formats which do not have any title page as such, "Title Page" means the text near the most prominent appearance of the work's title, preceding the beginning of the body of the text. A section "Entitled XYZ" means a named subunit of the Document whose title either is precisely XYZ or contains XYZ in parentheses following text that translates XYZ in another language. (Here XYZ stands for a specific section name mentioned below, such as "Acknowledgements", "Dedications", "Endorsements", or "History".) To "Preserve the Title" of such a section when you modify the Document means that it remains a section "Entitled XYZ" according to this definition. The Document may include Warranty Disclaimers next to the notice which states that this License applies to the Document. These Warranty Disclaimers are considered to be included by reference in this License, but only as regards disclaiming warranties: any other implication that these Warranty Disclaimers may have is void and has no effect on the meaning of this License. 2. VERBATIM COPYING You may copy and distribute the Document in any medium, either commercially or noncommercially, provided that this License, the copyright notices, and the license notice saying this License applies to the Document are reproduced in all copies, and that you add no other conditions whatsoever to those of this License. You may not use technical measures to obstruct or control the reading or further copying of the copies you make or distribute. However, you may accept compensation in exchange for copies. If you distribute a large enough number of copies you must also follow the conditions in section 3. You may also lend copies, under the same conditions stated above, and you may publicly display copies. 3. COPYING IN QUANTITY If you publish printed copies (or copies in media that commonly have printed covers) of the Document, numbering more than 100, and the Document's license notice requires Cover Texts, you must enclose the copies in covers that carry, clearly and legibly, all these Cover Texts: Front-Cover Texts on the front cover, and Back-Cover Texts on the back cover. Both covers must also clearly and legibly identify you as the publisher of these copies. The front cover must present the full title with all words of the title equally prominent and visible. You may add other material on the covers in addition. Copying with changes limited to the covers, as long as they preserve the title of the Document and satisfy these conditions, can be treated as verbatim copying in other respects. If the required texts for either cover are too voluminous to fit legibly, you should put the first ones listed (as many as fit reasonably) on the actual cover, and continue the rest onto adjacent pages. If you publish or distribute Opaque copies of the Document numbering more than 100, you must either include a machine-readable Transparent copy along with each Opaque copy, or state in or with each Opaque copy a computer-network location from which the general network-using public has access to download using public-standard network protocols a complete Transparent copy of the Document, free of added material. If you use the latter option, you must take reasonably prudent steps, when you begin distribution of Opaque copies in quantity, to ensure that this Transparent copy will remain thus accessible at the stated location until at least one year after the last time you distribute an Opaque copy (directly or through your agents or retailers) of that edition to the public. It is requested, but not required, that you contact the authors of the Document well before redistributing any large number of copies, to give them a chance to provide you with an updated version of the Document. 4. MODIFICATIONS You may copy and distribute a Modified Version of the Document under the conditions of sections 2 and 3 above, provided that you release the Modified Version under precisely this License, with the Modified Version filling the role of the Document, thus licensing distribution and modification of the Modified Version to whoever possesses a copy of it. In addition, you must do these things in the Modified Version: A. Use in the Title Page (and on the covers, if any) a title distinct from that of the Document, and from those of previous versions (which should, if there were any, be listed in the History section of the Document). You may use the same title as a previous version if the original publisher of that version gives permission. B. List on the Title Page, as authors, one or more persons or entities responsible for authorship of the modifications in the Modified Version, together with at least five of the principal authors of the Document (all of its principal authors, if it has fewer than five), unless they release you from this requirement. C. State on the Title page the name of the publisher of the Modified Version, as the publisher. D. Preserve all the copyright notices of the Document. E. Add an appropriate copyright notice for your modifications adjacent to the other copyright notices. F. Include, immediately after the copyright notices, a license notice giving the public permission to use the Modified Version under the terms of this License, in the form shown in the Addendum below. G. Preserve in that license notice the full lists of Invariant Sections and required Cover Texts given in the Document's license notice. H. Include an unaltered copy of this License. I. Preserve the section Entitled "History", Preserve its Title, and add to it an item stating at least the title, year, new authors, and publisher of the Modified Version as given on the Title Page. If there is no section Entitled "History" in the Document, create one stating the title, year, authors, and publisher of the Document as given on its Title Page, then add an item describing the Modified Version as stated in the previous sentence. J. Preserve the network location, if any, given in the Document for public access to a Transparent copy of the Document, and likewise the network locations given in the Document for previous versions it was based on. These may be placed in the "History" section. You may omit a network location for a work that was published at least four years before the Document itself, or if the original publisher of the version it refers to gives permission. K. For any section Entitled "Acknowledgements" or "Dedications", Preserve the Title of the section, and preserve in the section all the substance and tone of each of the contributor acknowledgements and/or dedications given therein. L. Preserve all the Invariant Sections of the Document, unaltered in their text and in their titles. Section numbers or the equivalent are not considered part of the section titles. M. Delete any section Entitled "Endorsements". Such a section may not be included in the Modified Version. N. Do not retitle any existing section to be Entitled "Endorsements" or to conflict in title with any Invariant Section. O. Preserve any Warranty Disclaimers. If the Modified Version includes new front-matter sections or appendices that qualify as Secondary Sections and contain no material copied from the Document, you may at your option designate some or all of these sections as invariant. To do this, add their titles to the list of Invariant Sections in the Modified Version's license notice. These titles must be distinct from any other section titles. You may add a section Entitled "Endorsements", provided it contains nothing but endorsements of your Modified Version by various parties--for example, statements of peer review or that the text has been approved by an organization as the authoritative definition of a standard. You may add a passage of up to five words as a Front-Cover Text, and a passage of up to 25 words as a Back-Cover Text, to the end of the list of Cover Texts in the Modified Version. Only one passage of Front-Cover Text and one of Back-Cover Text may be added by (or through arrangements made by) any one entity. If the Document already includes a cover text for the same cover, previously added by you or by arrangement made by the same entity you are acting on behalf of, you may not add another; but you may replace the old one, on explicit permission from the previous publisher that added the old one. The author(s) and publisher(s) of the Document do not by this License give permission to use their names for publicity for or to assert or imply endorsement of any Modified Version. 5. COMBINING DOCUMENTS You may combine the Document with other documents released under this License, under the terms defined in section 4 above for modified versions, provided that you include in the combination all of the Invariant Sections of all of the original documents, unmodified, and list them all as Invariant Sections of your combined work in its license notice, and that you preserve all their Warranty Disclaimers. The combined work need only contain one copy of this License, and multiple identical Invariant Sections may be replaced with a single copy. If there are multiple Invariant Sections with the same name but different contents, make the title of each such section unique by adding at the end of it, in parentheses, the name of the original author or publisher of that section if known, or else a unique number. Make the same adjustment to the section titles in the list of Invariant Sections in the license notice of the combined work. In the combination, you must combine any sections Entitled "History" in the various original documents, forming one section Entitled "History"; likewise combine any sections Entitled "Acknowledgements", and any sections Entitled "Dedications". You must delete all sections Entitled "Endorsements." 6. COLLECTIONS OF DOCUMENTS You may make a collection consisting of the Document and other documents released under this License, and replace the individual copies of this License in the various documents with a single copy that is included in the collection, provided that you follow the rules of this License for verbatim copying of each of the documents in all other respects. You may extract a single document from such a collection, and distribute it individually under this License, provided you insert a copy of this License into the extracted document, and follow this License in all other respects regarding verbatim copying of that document. 7. AGGREGATION WITH INDEPENDENT WORKS A compilation of the Document or its derivatives with other separate and independent documents or works, in or on a volume of a storage or distribution medium, is called an "aggregate" if the copyright resulting from the compilation is not used to limit the legal rights of the compilation's users beyond what the individual works permit. When the Document is included in an aggregate, this License does not apply to the other works in the aggregate which are not themselves derivative works of the Document. If the Cover Text requirement of section 3 is applicable to these copies of the Document, then if the Document is less than one half of the entire aggregate, the Document's Cover Texts may be placed on covers that bracket the Document within the aggregate, or the electronic equivalent of covers if the Document is in electronic form. Otherwise they must appear on printed covers that bracket the whole aggregate. 8. TRANSLATION Translation is considered a kind of modification, so you may distribute translations of the Document under the terms of section 4. Replacing Invariant Sections with translations requires special permission from their copyright holders, but you may include translations of some or all Invariant Sections in addition to the original versions of these Invariant Sections. You may include a translation of this License, and all the license notices in the Document, and any Warranty Disclaimers, provided that you also include the original English version of this License and the original versions of those notices and disclaimers. In case of a disagreement between the translation and the original version of this License or a notice or disclaimer, the original version will prevail. If a section in the Document is Entitled "Acknowledgements", "Dedications", or "History", the requirement (section 4) to Preserve its Title (section 1) will typically require changing the actual title. 9. TERMINATION You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Document except as expressly provided for under this License. Any other attempt to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Document is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License. However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance. 10. FUTURE REVISIONS OF THIS LICENSE The Free Software Foundation may publish new, revised versions of the GNU Free Documentation License from time to time. Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns. See http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/. Each version of the License is given a distinguishing version number. If the Document specifies that a particular numbered version of this License "or any later version" applies to it, you have the option of following the terms and conditions either of that specified version or of any later version that has been published (not as a draft) by the Free Software Foundation. If the Document does not specify a version number of this License, you may choose any version ever published (not as a draft) by the Free Software Foundation.
