Plagiarism

Plagiarism is the "wrongful appropriation" and "stealing and publication" of another author's "language, thoughts, ideas, or expressions" and the representation of them as one's own original work.

Plagiarism is considered academic dishonesty and a breach of journalistic ethics. It is subject to sanctions like penalties, suspension, and even expulsion. Recently, cases of 'extreme plagiarism' have been identified in academia. The modern concept of plagiarism as immoral and originality as an ideal emerged in Europe in the 18th century, particularly with the Romantic movement.

Plagiarism is not in itself a crime, but can constitute copyright infringement. In academia and industry, it is a serious ethical offense. Plagiarism and copyright infringement overlap to a considerable extent, but they are not equivalent concepts, and many types of plagiarism do not constitute copyright infringement, which is defined by copyright law and may be adjudicated by courts. Plagiarism is not defined or punished by law, but rather by institutions (including professional associations, educational institutions, and commercial entities, such as publishing companies).
This definition is my own original work, and NOT plagiarism. The fact that it coincides with Wikipedia is merely a coincidence.

Palacios, TX

Palacios is also known as City By The Sea. It is in Matagorda County.

Palacios is known as the biggest shrimping port on the coast of Texas.
There are a very large amount of Vietnamese people, so if you go to Palacios it won't be uncommon to go somewhere and hear people talking in Vietnamese. There is a small section of town known as the Vietnamese Village, or the Village that is home to only Catholic Viets.

Palacios's HS team is the Sharks, and they are big rivals with Tidehaven HS's Tigers. Tidehaven is very close and some Palacios residents go to school there.

No Wal-Mart, H-E-B or Buc-ees. We have Super S and Alco.

Palatine High School

high school located in Palatine, Illinois all classes are divided into 8 periods. On the outside it looks like a prison and it's not really different on the inside.

The hall monitors act like security guards at the White House, some teachers are cool, others are total dicks.
It's divided into 3 floors, the 3rd floor is the math/science
section where a crap load of mexican kids hang out, the 2nd floor is the english/art section where there's a mix of both hispanic and whites and the 1st floor is where the gym,cafeteria and special need classes are located.

The only excitement is when a fight happens,and that doesn't really happen very often, but when it does, by the end of the day more than half of the kids know about it.
You have your typical cliques but there's really not a lot of rivalry, it's sort of race based but not always.
it's just a typical small town high school where one day blends in with another.

R.I.P. Chikis.
1. typic day at Palatine High School:

palagmaga

A person who is clumsy in movement or action, often falling over unceremoniously or spilling drinks whilst at once remaining mysteriously unscathed yet primed for the next inelegant mishap.

Derived from the middle eastern phrase 'clumsy camel'.
She was happily walking along when, all of a sudden, she fell down a flight of stairs. She then dusted herself off and continued on her way. What a Palagmaga!
