2.107. Statement by User.
Any person, firm or corporation whose operations entail the discharge of wastes containing toxic, poisonous or objectionable substances shall file with the Township a written statement setting forth the nature of the operation contemplated or currently being carried on, the amount of water required to be used and its source, the proposed point of discharge of said waste into the sewage system of the Township, the maximum amount to be discharged per second and a fair statement setting forth the expected bacterial, physical, chemical or other known characteristics of the wastes. Within thirty (30) days of receipt of said statement, the superintendent shall make an Order of Determination setting forth the maximum limits for the substances listed in section 2.106.
2.108. Annual Review.
Any order of determination issued by the Superintendent may be reviewed annually, and the maximums set forth therein adjusted to compensate for increased flows in the entire sewer system or increased contribution of toxic, poisonous or objectionable substances by other users of the Township sewer system. It shall be the duty of the Superintendent to apportion to each industry its fair share of toxic waste discharge in such manner that the combined waste of all users will not endanger the sewage system or treatment processes or the receiving waters.
2.109. Effect of Order.
Any order of determination issued in pursuance of this Ordinance shall be considered a part of this Ordinance for the specific industrial user or other establishment involved, and shall be enforceable in the same manner as this Ordinance.
2.110. Enforcing order.
The Superintendent, when advised that a particular industrial user is violating the terms of the Order of Determination as herein referred to, may discontinue water and sewer service to such industrial user until such time as the industry shall conform to the provisions of the Order of Determination.
Where the wastes from an industrial user exceed the limits set forth in the Superintendent's Order of Determination, said user may be required, as a condition precedent to its continued right to use the public sewer, to construct necessary pre-treatment facilities to keep wastes discharged to the public sewers within the order limits.
2.112. Appeal Procedure.
(1) Any industrial user which is subject to an Order of Determination issued by the Superintendent shall have the right to appeal the rulings and findings of said Superintendent to a Board of referees consisting of two (2) registered professional engineers, one of whom shall be selected by the user and one by the City. Neither of said referees shall be in the employ of the party selecting him.
(2) Within ten (10) days after receiving notice of the selection of the referees, the City shall file with the referees a copy of the Superintendent's determination and the results of the investigation. Ten (10) days thereafter, the appellant industrial user shall file its reply together with supporting documentation. The referees may thereafter require additional information and may, if they choose, hold a hearing at which both sides may present evidence and arguments. The referees shall render a written opinion within ten (10) days after the last documents are filed, and such opinion shall be binding upon all parties. If the referees cannot agree, they shall select a third referee having the same qualifications, and a decision of the majority shall be binding.
(3) The referees shall be entitled to reasonable compensation and expenses, and the cost thereof shall be borne equally by appellant and the City.
2.113. Interceptors.
Grease, oil and sand interceptors shall be provided when, in the opinion of the superintendent they are necessary for the proper handling of liquid wastes containing grease in excessive amounts, or any flammable wastes, sand or other harmful ingredients; except that such interceptors shall not be required in private living quarters or dwelling units. All interceptors shall be of a type and capacity approved by the superintendent, and shall be located so as to be readily and easily accessible for cleaning and inspection.
2.114. Sand Interceptors.
Sand interceptors shall be installed in garages, filling stations and other establishments which have washing facilities producing sandy waste waters.
2.115. Interceptor Maintenance.
Where installed, all grease, oil and sand interceptors, and preliminary treatment facilities for any waters or wastes shall be maintained by the owner, at his expense, in continuously efficient operation at all times.
2.116. Control Manholes.
When required by the Superintendent, the owner of any property served by a building sewer line carrying industrial wastes shall install a suitable control manhole together with such necessary meters and other appurtenances in the building sewer to facilitate observation, sampling and measurement of the wastes. Such manhole, when required, shall be located in a safe and accessible position, and shall be constructed in accordance with plans approved by the Superintendent. The manhole shall be installed by the owner at his expense, and shall be maintained by him so as to be safe and accessible at all times.
2.117. Powers and Authority of Inspectors.
The Superintendent and other duly authorized employees of the City bearing proper credentials and identification shall be permitted at all reasonable hours to enter upon all properties for the purpose of inspection, measurement, sampling and testing, in accordance with the provisions of this Ordinance.
2.118. Penalty & Notice to Remediate at City's Option.
Any person who violates any provision of this ordinance shall be responsible for a municipal civil infraction as defined in Public Act 12 of 1994, amending Public Act 236 of 1961, being Sections 600.101-600.9939 of Michigan Compiled Laws, and shall be subject to a fine of not more than Five Hundred and 00/100 ($500.00) Dollars. Each day this ordinance is violated shall be considered as a separate violation. Any action taken under this section shall not prevent civil proceedings, or any other procedure or remedy for abatement or termination of the prohibited activity.
Prior to the imposition of the penalties set forth above, the Township shall not be required but may at its sole discretion, issue notice to a person in violation of this Ordinance stating the nature of the violation and providing no more than ten (10) days for the correction of said violation.
Nothing in this ordinance shall prohibit the City from acting on behalf of or as an agent of the Township for purposes of exercising any rights, remedies or enforcement methods and the City is authorized to act on behalf of the Township on all such matters.
2.119. Health Officer.
Nothing stated in these regulations may be construed to limit the power of the Township, City or Health Officer to order the immediate and complete abatement of a public nuisance or menace to the public health or of a condition which, in the opinion of the City, may be a menace to the public health.
2.120. Restrictions Imposed by Other Laws.
If any provision of the statutes of the State of Michigan imposes greater restrictions than herein set forth, then such provisions and/or statutes shall control.
2.121. Termination of Service for Nonpayment.
The Superintendent is hereby authorized to enforce the payment of charges for sewage disposal service to any premises by having the Township discontinue the public water service, if any, or by directly discontinuing the sewage disposal service to such premises, or both, and/or by bringing a lawsuit in a court of competent jurisdiction against the responsible person(s) to collect such charges. The charges for sewage disposal service, which, under the provisions of Act 94, Public Acts of 1933 of the State of Michigan, as amended, are made a lien on the premises to which furnished, are hereby recognized to constitute such lien, unless notice is given that a tenant is responsible for the payment of all such user charges. On April 1 of each year the Superintendent shall certify to the Township Supervisor or Assessor all unpaid charges for such services furnished to any premises, which, on the 31st day of March preceding have remained unpaid for a period of six (6) months. For those properties which are served by City-provided sewer and electricity, the Superintendent is additionally authorized to discontinue electric service to such premises.
The Township Supervisor or Assessor shall then place the same on the next tax roll of the Township. Such charges so assessed shall be collected in the same manner as general Township taxes. All such charges collected by the City under this section shall be promptly paid to the Superintendent, who shall then credit the same to the proper account. In cases where the Superintendent is properly notified in accordance with said Act 94 of 1933, that a tenant is responsible for sewage disposal service charges, no such service shall be commenced or continued to such premises until there has been deposited with the Superintendent, a sum sufficient to cover two times the average quarterly bill for such
premises as estimated by the Superintendent, such deposit to be in no case less than fifty ($50.00) dollars. Where the electricity, water service or sewage disposal service to any premises is turned off to enforce the payment of sewage disposal service charges, those services shall not be recommenced until all delinquent charges and a service turn-on charge have been paid and a deposit as in the case of tenants is made. In any other case where, in the discretion of the Superintendent, the collection of charges for sewage disposal service may be difficult or uncertain, the Superintendent may require a similar deposit. Such deposit may be applied against any delinquent sewage disposal service charges and the application thereof shall not affect the right of the Superintendent to turn off the water service and/or sewer service to any premises for any delinquency thereby satisfied. No such deposit shall bear interest and such deposit or any remaining balance thereof, shall be returned to the customer making the same when he or she shall discontinue receiving sewage disposal service or, except as to tenants to whom notice of responsibility for such charges has been filed with the Superintendent, when any 24 successive monthly bills shall have been paid by said customer with no delinquency. The lien provided in this subsection does not preclude any other remedy provided by law.
2.122. Contract for Ordinance Administration.
The sewage disposal system is supplied and operated by the City. This Ordinance is intended to supplement and implement a contract between the City and Township which allows the City to administer this Sewer Ordinance. Accordingly, the City has the final authority in its discretion to take any action regarding the sewage disposal system in the Township which the Township could take either pursuant to this Ordinance or state law. This includes, but is not limited to, the setting of rates and charges.
2.123. Validity, Severability, Conflict.
The provisions of this Ordinance are severable, and if any of the provisions, words, phrases, clauses or terms, or the application thereof to any person, firm or corporation, or to any circumstances, shall be held invalid, illegal, or unconstitutional by any court of competent jurisdiction, such decision or findings shall not in any way affect the validity, legality or constitutionality of any other provision, word, phrase, clause or term, and they shall continue in full force and effect.
If any laws, parts of laws, ordinances, codes or regulations are more restrictive or establish a higher standard than those provided in this Ordinance, then those laws, parts of laws, ordinances, codes or regulations shall apply.
2.124. Effective Date.
This Ordinance shall be effective thirty (30) days after its publication in a newspaper of general circulation within the Township.

Issue 2972: What is is_trivially_destructible_v<int>?
The spec for is_trivially_destructible says the value is true if "is_destructible_v<T> is true and the indicated destructor is known to be trivial."
For a case like is_trivially_destructible_v<int>, there is no indicated destructor, so it's unclear what value the trait would have but the most plausible reading of these words is that it should be false. However, I'm confident the intent is that this trait should yield true in that situation, and that's what all the implementations I can find actually do.
struct is_trivially_destructible; is_destructible_v<T> is true and the indicated destructor is known to be trivialremove_all_extents_t<T> is either a non-class type or a class type with a trivial destructor. T shall be a complete type, cv void, or an array of unknown bound.

I'm finally heading back to Manila tonight! Woohoo! Even if my travel-filled month is already coming to an end, I still can't believe I was able to fit all my things in my luggages. I guess it all boils down to bringing only the essential clothes, accessories, and shoes. And when I say essentials, I don't just mean the basics. They're more like items that you can easily mix and match and keep you comfortable as you travel, much like what I'm wearing on this post.
I always say denim is one of the most versatile fabrics ever so bringing a few denim pieces with you will in handy. These, in particular, are perfect because they're light and thin so they won't add too much bulk and weight. The pants are actually like joggers which are number one on my airport/airplane fashion must-haves list so they're definitely big winners in my book. If you like traveling with spacious totes, make sure to bring a smaller bag as well. A body bag like this one is highly-recommended because you can wear them across your body and go hands-free without having to worry about snatchers eyeing your bag. As for accessories, don't bring heavy ones. Remember, conserving luggage space and weight is crucial. Instead, go for light necklaces, rings, and bracelets that are great for layering and creating different looks with. Throw in a pair of sunnies that are easy to match with all sorts of outfits too! And finally, don't forget your flats!
This is ideal when I go out and hang out with friends! Comfy! Thanks, Miss Camille. Btw, you look super cute when you're hair is in a bun.
love how it looked like a jumpsuit!
I must try this! Love how the denim looks so light Miss Camille. Casual and comfy for strolling, one of my faves.
Thanks for the packing tips!
I've been really wanting to add more denim to my wardrobe since it is really versatile. I might just have to buy those pants!
Denim stuffs at its best! I like your top denim shirt partnered with denim jogger pants plus simple and light accessories and loafers. Now that you gave us another ideas for great casual fashion, we thank you for this post! We definitely love it!!
This is something that I would honestly wear myself! It still befuddles me how much luggage you bring during your trips Cams. Clue naman jan! Hihi.

The day became a bit brighter for a few people Tuesday as a woman gave away flowers to passersby as part of 40 acts of kindness she wanted to perform on her 40th birthday.
Sabrina Ryan was busy all day, checking off a wide-ranging list of things she wanted to do for family, friends, strangers and Mother Nature to celebrate her milestone.
Among the activities were a visit to Canadian Blood Services to donate blood, a beach clean-up, a donation to Habitat Acquisition Trust, a bike/bus ride, decorating a tree with edible creations, creating indigenous flower bombs, and a commitment to volunteer.
"I was inspired by reading about another person who had performed acts of kindness on her birthday. My hope is that my actions will in turn inspire others to perform other random acts of kindness as well," said Ryan. "It can be as simple as buying the person behind you in the drive-through line a coffee. It's unexpected and is sure to make someone's day."
She was accompanied by her two boys, five-year-old Keenan and two-year-old Kade. Her husband, Travis, was at work.
She said that Keenan, who already has a loving and giving personality, stayed home from school to help her with her quest, giving flowers to strangers with a smile.
Two acts of kindness on her list were reserved for her boys, with a donation to the World Wildlife Fund in recognition of Keenan's fascination with octopus and a donation to the BCSPCA to acknowledge Kade's love of dogs.
"I am happy to encourage their connection with living things and Mother Nature."
Ryan is a member of the Field Naturalists of Vancouver Island Facebook group. When she asked for suggestions for what she could do for Mother Nature, she immediately received dozens of ideas, ranging from planting a tree to going vegan for the day.
For Ryan, the only downside of the whole day came after Keenan had just given a stranger a flower.
"I could tell that the person was touched by the gesture and really wanted to give him a hug to express her thanks, but with social distancing guidelines due to COVID-19, we both knew that that was not possible."
This year's National Random Act of Kindness Day returns on Feb. 17 in Canada. It was started by the Kitchener Waterloo Community Foundation in 2008. Since 2015 the Victoria Foundation has encouraged businesses and non-profits to take part. The foundation provides resources and tools to help people provide acts of kindness, such as children colouring smiley face cards for distribution to seniors.

Health is the most important thing of our lives. No body- No life! Of course health is an individual thing, and we can use many different ways to help the body to be as healthy as possible.
Some 30 years ago the NASA (USA) was intensely busy with its astronauts and the need arose for a Virtual Doctor to accompany them. The computer program that got developed was kind of sync developed in the USSR. In the States Prof. Doctor Bill Nelson was part of this program.
In the conscious computer system of the Indigo we find the frequenties of all kind of therapeutic programs like the Chinese acupuncture, brainwave programs, DNA, EEG, essential oils, plants, homeopathy, Bach remedies, organs, toxins, parasites, spine, sport programs, neuro emotional status . think of it and it's probably in there. This quantum device uses the same technology as MRI, CT Scans, EEG, ECG , that all use the electricity of the body to get information about health and the status of the human being. The waves forms that the Indigo then create have a direct positive influence on our well being.
A person is connected to the computer through straps, that carry sensors, around the wrists, ankles and the head. The scan is sensitive enough to measure the electro-fysiological reactions on stress that influence the human body. The test results are given to the practitioner on the main matrix in the Indigo soft ware. Stress plays the biggest role in the quality of life, and the mechanisms of health of the body, and is severely disturbed by it.
In the actual test the system is testing more than 11.000 items in the body. The Indigo can read about 90.000 different signals that the body sends out.
According to dr. Hulda Clark, 'the cure for all diseases' there are two basic elements that cause illness. Toxins and Parasites. In the matrix in the Indigo we then can see the information about toxicology,solvents, virus, bacteria, worms, mites and many many more. The system can help to eliminate parasites and help the body to get into a better balance.

Boston sergeant placed on leave as videos of George Floyd protests prompt investigations
Leaked body camera footage showed "troubling scenes" of officers handling crowds, the district attorney's office said.

A police sergeant in Boston has been put on administrative leave while officials investigate alleged misconduct after peaceful protests in response to George Floyd's killing turned violent, prompting arrests and clashes between demonstrators and law enforcement.
Boston Police Commissioner William G. Gross announced the move Friday after the online news outlet The Appeal published body camera footage showing how officers handled the crowds during the protests. A total of 53 people were arrested, 18 bystanders were hospitalized and nine officers were treated for injuries in the June 1 incident, Boston.com reported.
The Boston Police Department did not say why the sergeant's name wasn't released and did not respond Saturday to a request for comment. A spokesperson for the Boston Police Patrolmen's Association also did not respond Saturday.
Some video clips show officers threatening demonstrators in profane language, shoving protesters to the ground with batons and pepper-spraying them. One of the clips shows an officer telling a colleague that he hit several protesters with his police vehicle when it was surrounded. The colleague interrupts the officer and reminds him that the body camera is recording their conversation.
The Appeal reported obtaining the footage from attorney Carl Williams, who is representing some of the protesters arrested on June 1. Williams obtained the body camera videos as part of a discovery file encompassing 44 videos and over 66 hours of footage, according to The Appeal.
"As soon as these videos were brought to my attention, I immediately ordered my Bureau of Professional Standards to open and conduct a thorough and fair investigation into this matter, and the totality of circumstances involved," said Gross in a statement. "I have placed a Sergeant involved in this incident on administrative leave and I will take any additional action as necessary at the conclusion of the investigation."
A spokesperson for Suffolk District Attorney Rachael Rollins said in a statement that her office has also launched an investigation looking into the officers' actions during the protests, NBC Boston reported. "Several of the videos present troubling scenes that merit further examination, which is what the office is doing," the statement said.
Boston Mayor Marty Walsh said in a statement that the footage is difficult to watch and that he hopes to get answers through the investigation.
"We never want to see police officers using more force than necessary, even when tensions are high," he said.

Bewildering goings on in Inquest Courts
The end of 2014 will hopefully conclude the hand over of all material concerning the shoot-to-kill incidents of late 1982 that claimed 6 lives in three separate incidents by the RUC. That's what lawyers representing the PSNI, intelligence services and British government told the inquest in Belfast this morning.
Coroner John Leckey told the inquest that he was conscious that it was 25-years since the inquest was first opened and that too much time had passed and that the process of disclosures needed to be completed – a silver anniversary was how he also put it. Previously Leckey expressed that families were aging and that there was unacceptable delays. He further said he was minded to call the Chief Constable and Justice Minister to court to explain themselves.
That the material necessary to conduct the inquest has not yet been provided is simply not good enough or at all acceptable to say the least. Maybe the Policing Board and Justice Committee could possibly raise the matter with Matt Baggott and David Ford.
And yesterday the Justice Committee heard from the DUP that they would block any proposals to provide the Police Ombudsman with powers to compel retired officers.
The DUP's Paul Given said; "I want to put on record that I met David Ford, along with Peter Robinson, and we discussed this recommendation. Let there be no doubt that this is a redline issue for the Democratic Unionist Party. We will not allow this to become law. If the Minister of Justice puts forward any proposal to legally compel retired officers, we will use our veto and we will block it. It will not happen."
Strange that from a party that seeks to lecture, moralise and pontificate on democracy, the rule of law, justice and the rights of victims – well some victims.
Equally bewildering are those former police officers that spent their entire careers asking the public to cooperate with inquiries into killings and who now refuse to assist the Ombudsman and other forums tasked with examining these same killings. Strange that too or maybe not if the intention was never to solve them in the first instance.
On the subject it is interesting to note that Retired Police Officer Association (RPOA) have now removed from their website advices to former officers who have to give evidence at inquests and other compulsory court settings.
Essentially they held seminars for former officers compelled to give evidence on how best to provide that evidence and conduct themselves generally with difficult questions they might face…
So from the shoot-to-kill inquests, that have still to get full disclosures never mind begin to examine witnesses, it was then into the Roseanne Mallon inquest.
Readers will know that the once public darling of television screens former RUC Det. Chief Supt. Eric Anderson is unable to give evidence to this particular inquest as he is sick, though not as sick as he was when UTV secretly filmed him trying to sell RUC files on the disappearance of Arlene Arkinson to journalists several years back.
Anyway one of his detectives, DC Moorhead, instead gave evidence but as he didn't actually write the report into the two secreted cameras found after the UVF murder he couldn't possibly answer very much at all. It was Anderson who wrote the report.
So as not to confuse – after the murder and then the discovery of covert cameras that where in place along with undercover soldiers – Eric Anderson was appointed to retrieve the cameras – after all they were worth almost £20K.
So the process went like this – Anderson and Moorhead were assigned to get the cameras and look at the tape recordings and 'independently' decide what they could and couldn't see. Independently being the key word here but hey Anderson and Moorhead were from outside the area of Dungannon. They were from the North West region.
After getting back the cameras and looking at the tapes there was nothing that could have captured the killing, as the cameras didn't have a view of the home. So that's that then.
Well it might be in the world according to Anderson & Co who was appointed by the regional head for Special Branch Frank Murray. Murray had requested the covert operation from TCG and had overall charge of it.
And we know that no one could enter the driveway of the home or the road leading to and from it without being detected by the cameras – and that's the ones we only know about.
Lawyers representing the Mallon family asked Moorhead if Anderson, remember he is sick and unable to give evidence, was ever a member of the Special Branch. Now Moorhead, a colleague of Anderson's from the North West that part of the RUC that was independent said he couldn't answer that question.
Moorhead also told the court that the procedure was that he and Anderson would receive tapes and logs from the covert operation from the Special Branch and then they would then view that material. This is essentially how they then formed their view and from which their report was produced – a report that said there was no collusion. A report based upon edited tapes they received.
Asked whether or not they had passed on any information from the tapes to the DCI McFarland who was separately heading up the murder investigation Moorhead said that he couldn't remember but that it would be logical to do so.
The court was reminded that McFarland had earlier said he was dissatisfied that he didn't have access to the tapes at the time of the murder and wasn't told about the covert operation.
Anderson would then decide what edits of the edits McFarland would then get – eventually.
Then lawyers for the Mallon family produced a list of 19 car registrations from a separate military log that didn't appear at all in the edits of the edits of material provided to McFarland, who was heading up the murder investigation. Bit of an oversight but then when you have so much material to destroy and can't remember what you said you destroyed and kept – secretly – mistakes can often be made. Of course Moorhead couldn't answer for that – it's above his pay-grade as it was put.
Handwritten notes related to the Anderson report were read out to the court which said that some registrations of vehicles required further research with the Special Branch head Frank Murray. Again Moorhead couldn't answer that one too, even though some of the handwriting was his.
On further discussion the court was also reminded that not only had tapes been destroyed but military logs with written entries of the details of vehicles including on the day of the actual attack and murder of Roseanne were also destroyed. Strange that too.
Casting our minds back two cars were reported containing several men acting suspiciously on the afternoon of May 8th – Roseanne killed that evening at 11.50pm.
One of those cars was later found burnt out and confirmed as the car used in the attack and the other stopped shortly after the attack, its three occupants throwing from the vehicle gloves and balaclavas. But hey they were 'ruled out' of the murder investigation.
And we must remember that tapes recordings of the day of the shooting were lifted by a member of Special Branch outside of the normal procedure according to the evidence of the soldier appointed as liaison by British Army NIHQ. Maybe he also took the logs of written entries.

Dropbox Enterprise offers three plans to suit your workforce's needs. RBI is a leading fast-progress supplier of data and analytics, fixing essential problems for companies globally. Where disclosure of CBI has been requested by an individual, Well being Canada expects that the principal requester would have qualifications in a health occupation or scientific research and demonstrated expertise within the subject of the request.
UC's Grasp of Enterprise Data Programs (MBIS) aims to deal with high-stage skills shortages in the quickly rising ICT trade, and to satisfy the rising demand for work-prepared graduates in New Zealand and abroad. If your plan is just not too difficult, maintain what you are promoting description brief, describing the trade in one paragraph, the product in another, and the business and its success components in three or 4 paragraphs that may finish the assertion.
As a corollary to the above, it's equally important to note that Well being Canada reserves the precise to request data or material from a requester, or define situations not particularly described on this steering doc, so as to enable for an enough assessment of whether or not or to not disclose CBI related to a therapeutic product.
As always, Well being Canada will take the necessary actions to safeguard the health and safety of Canadians should the profit, harm and uncertainty profile of a product(s) be decided to have modified. You will achieve experience on BIS strategy and e-commerce, info and data management, enterprise intelligence and decision making, and business course of management and innovation.

Genome structure of dinosaurs discovered by bird-turtle comparisons
A discovery by scientists at the University of Kent has provided significant insight into the overall genome structure of dinosaurs.
By comparing the genomes of different species, chiefly birds and turtles, the Kent team were able to determine how the overall genome structure (i.e. the chromosomes) of many people's favourite dinosaur species -- like Velociraptor or Tyrannosaurus -- might have looked through a microscope.
The research was carried out in the laboratory of Professor Darren Griffin, of the University's School of Biosciences, and is now published in the journal Nature Communications. It involved extrapolating the likely genome structure of a shared common ancestor of birds and turtles that lived around 260 million years ago -- 20 million years before the dinosaurs first emerged.
Dr Becky O'Connor, senior postdoctoral researcher and co-author of the Nature Communications paper, then traced how chromosomes changed over evolutionary time from a reptile ancestor to the present day.
The team found that, although the individual chromosomes rearranged their genes internally, this did not occur much at all between the chromosomes -- what the scientists describe as 'a significant discovery'.
Birds (which are themselves living dinosaurs) have a lot of chromosomes compared to most other species and that is possibly one of the reasons why they are so diverse. This research suggests that the pattern of chromosomes (karyotype) seen in early emerging dinosaurs and later theropods is similar to that of most birds and, again, may help explain their great diversity.
The new discovery suggests that, had scientists had the opportunity to make a chromosome preparation from a theropod dinosaur, it might have looked very similar to that of a modern-day ostrich, duck or chicken.
One of the key pieces of biotechnology that made it possible was the development of a set of fluorescent probes derived from birds that worked well on the chromosomes of turtles.
The genetics laboratory run by Professor Darren Griffin in Kent's School of Biosciences carries out research into how genes organise into chromosomes and how that is different between species. The work is a collaboration with Dr Denis Larkin at the Royal Veterinary College in London, Iowa State University, the University of Cambridge, Oxford Genome Technologies and the Natural History Museum, London.

Over a year ago, I fell in love with a French guy. He was a complete stranger, and I said hello to him in the Times Square subway station in New York City.
Initially, I had absolutely no idea he was French; I just thought he was cute. From that moment on, we were in a crazy, complicated and cross-cultural relationship.
Since my parents immigrated to America, I am well aware of the differences between various cultures.
Although I identify with my ethnic background, my mannerisms scream American. I've dated several people with different ethnic backgrounds, and it never fazed me.
Though we may have had our differences, we still shared the commonality of being American.
Before meeting my Frenchman, I had no idea how large of a role culture could play in relationships. We would get into the most random arguments all because of miscommunication, and it was more than just a simple misinterpretation of what one of us said or did.
Actions and words can mean completely different things to different cultures. Take the way people greet each other in certain cultures (hugging, shaking hands, kissing on the cheek, etc.).
Depending on the culture, the way you greet someone could significantly differ from how you would normally greet someone. Furthermore, if you do it incorrectly, it could even come across as offensive.
I didn't realize how much American culture influenced me or how "American" I truly was. After only experiencing the American "rules" of dating, I just assumed they applied to most other cultures. It turned out I was very misinformed.
After reading it, a light bulb went off in my head, and I was finally able to comprehend where all of our arguments stemmed from.
Although he had warned me of these things earlier in our relationship, I refused to believe him. I thought he was just making up excuses for his actions. But, I soon realized it had less to do with him and more to do with the dating culture of France.
I had never dated a French man before, and he had never dated an American woman before. Neither of us could have predicted all of the difficulties that came with our differences.
When I'd invite him to hang out with my friends, he would always have a scheduling conflict and never come.
I began to believe he just didn't want to meet my friends, but he explained to me the language barrier complicated things.
I imagined myself surrounded by a group of people, not being able to follow the conversation, and I understood his hesitation.
Since I always extended invitations for him to meet my friends, I expected him to reciprocate.
But, he never asked me out with his friends, and I assumed he was embarrassed of me, or he just didn't want people to know about us.
Similarly, the problem was the language barrier.
I didn't realize French people weren't used to labeling relationships.
One of the first things he told me was when two people kiss in France, they are automatically "together."
I wish I had believed him when he first told me because I just thought he was finding an excuse to not call me his girlfriend.
After a few years of dating in New York City, I realized people aren't exactly faithful and almost everyone has a wandering eye.
Maybe I was paranoid, maybe I didn't trust him, or maybe, I just forgot what a real gentleman was like, but I believed he was probably seeing other people.
Although it's hard to admit, you do have to think about the possibility of having a future with your current partner.
He constantly told me he wasn't sure about whether he would stay in America, so I just kept telling him we would worry about it later.
What I failed to realize, however, was he was simply trying to save us from a whole lot of heartbreak if it came down to him eventually leaving.
I wish I had been more open-minded in the beginning. I wish I had known these things when we first started dating. I wish someone had told me.
But, experience is the best teacher, and had it not been for him, I wouldn't have understood how much of an impact culture truly makes in the dating world.

Todeshochzeit ist ein dänischer Thriller aus dem Jahr 2005.

Handlung
Die behinderte Julie Hvidtoft besucht ihren Bruder Jacob und dessen Freundin Nina. Seit ihrem missglückten Selbstmordversuch ist sie auf einen Rollstuhl angewiesen, in psychiatrischer Behandlung und macht vereinzelt Witze darüber, erneut Selbstmord zu begehen. Jacob ist Journalist bei der dänischen Tageszeitung Politiken, schreibt sein erstes Buch und ist generell ein skeptischer Mensch, weswegen er sich wundert, dass Julie ihren Verlobten Anker vorstellt. Er vermutet einige schlimme Hintergedanken, denn beide kennen sich erst seit sechs Monaten, nachdem sie sich beim Chatten kennengelernt haben. So schön die anschließende Hochzeit auch ist, so unerwartet kommt der Selbstmord von Julie am selben Abend. Anker findet sie in der Badewanne und ist genauso schockiert wie alle anderen Gäste.

Jacob geht Julies Nachlass durch. In einem Buch von Wilbur A. Smith, welches Anker Julie schenkte, findet er einen Zeitungsausschnitt mit der Todesanzeige einer Rikke Marlene Bjerre. Die Anzeige datiert auf den 12. April 2002 und ist genauso gestaltet wie die Todesanzeige, die Anker 2004 für Julie aufgegeben hat. Da es ihm etwas zu viel Zufall erscheint, will Jacob Anker deswegen kontaktieren. Doch Ankers Handynummer existiert nicht mehr, so dass Jacob seine Adresse heraussucht und ihn in dem Dorf Mørke, Djursland besucht (der Name des Ortes bedeutet Dunkelheit, Finsternis). Dort muss er überrascht feststellen, dass Anker mit Hanne bereits eine neue, ebenfalls behinderte Freundin hat, mit der er kurz vor einer Hochzeit steht. Er sieht, wie Anker sich ertappt fühlt und erfährt später von Hannes Schwester Sonja, dass beide nun auf Hannes Hof, den die gemeinsamen verstorbenen Eltern ihnen hinterließen, wohnen. Als Jacob weiterforschen will, was es mit Anker auf sich hat, hält Sonja ihn für paranoid, und Anker selbst bittet ihn, den Ort wieder zu verlassen.

Aber Jacob bleibt und redet später alleine mit Hanne, wobei er die Geschichte über ihre Behinderung erfährt. Sie fuhr einst mit dem Fahrrad auf der Landstraße, als sie von einem Betrunkenen überfahren wurde. Außerdem habe sie Anker im Internet kennengelernt. Die traute Zweisamkeit wird allerdings von Anker und Sonja unterbrochen. Anker ist leicht verstimmt, dass Jacob immer noch da ist, weswegen er ihn in die Scheune bittet, wo er ihm Julies Abschiedsbrief gibt. Jacob liest den Brief und meint, dass es wohl doch ein Unfall war und er nun seinen Frieden schließen muss. Dankend lehnt er das Angebot ab, Ankers Trauzeuge zu werden. In seiner Pension erhält er allerdings eine SMS mit der Adresse von John Bjerre, der in Knebel wohnt. Jacob fährt hin und entdeckt ein verlassenes Haus, in dem einst eine Familie mit ihrer behinderten Tochter Rikke wohnte. Er entdeckt nicht nur auf einem Videoband, dass auch Rikke mit Anker verheiratet war, sondern dass Grete und Harald Jensen wohl am 31. Dezember 1998 durch eine Überdosis Morphin verstarben.

Das ist für ihn Grund genug, an Ankers Hochzeit teilzunehmen, schließlich will er Hanne retten. Gegen den Willen von Polizist Karl, aber mit der von ihm überzeugten Sonja, suchen sie Anker und Hanne auf und sind überrascht, dass sie noch lebt und nicht in Lebensgefahr schwebt. Einige Zeit später wird Jacob von Hanne angerufen, dass er sie besuchen soll. Er fährt zum Hof und findet sie in der Badewanne vor. Sie unterhalten sich und Hanne geht es immer schlechter, bis sie ihre Hand hebt und Jacob sieht, dass Hanne sich ihre Pulsadern aufgeschlitzt hat. Er versucht sie zu retten und sorgt dafür, dass sie ins Krankenhaus kommt. Von dort aus muss er allerdings auf die Polizeistation, da er des Mordes verdächtigt wird. Jedoch darf er kurz darauf wieder gehen, denn Anker hat der Polizei einen Abschiedsbrief von Hanne gezeigt. Jacob will nur noch nach Hause. Aber er kann nicht, da sein Wagen nicht anspringt. Anker kommt zufällig vorbei und nimmt ihn mit auf seinen Hof, wo er ihm von seiner ersten Frau erzählt, die sich umbrachte und von all den anderen Frauen, die dies ebenso taten. Er habe eine Gabe, die er eigentlich nur einsetze. Jacob will flüchten, kann aber nicht, da Anker ihn betäubt hat. Er muss miterleben, wie Anker mit ihm aufs Meer fährt, wo er versucht, sich und Jacob zu ertränken. Nach einem verzweifelten Todeskampf kann Jacob allerdings knapp entkommen und erwacht im Krankenhaus, wo er in Ninas Augen schaut. Sie ist gekommen, um Jacob nach Hause zu holen.

Die Saison 2006/07 der slowenischen Eishockeyliga wurde mit acht Mannschaften ausgetragen. Titelverteidiger war der HK Jesenice, der in dieser Saison mit seiner Mannschaft erstmals an der österreichischen Eishockey-Liga teilnahm und daher nur mit einem Farmteam in der slowenischen Liga antrat. Jesenice erreichte das Finale jedoch nicht, neuer Meister wurde stattdessen der HDD Olimpija Ljubljana.

Modus
Vor dem Beginn der nationalen slowenischen Meisterschaft wurde zum letzten Mal die länderübergreifende Interliga ausgetragen (siehe Interliga 2006/07), in deren A-Gruppe der ungarische Verein Alba Volán Székesfehérvár den Meistertitel gewann. Die zweite Leistungsstufe (Gruppe B) konnte das Farmteam aus Jesenice für sich entscheiden.

Die slowenische Meisterschaft wurde anschließend wieder in verkürzter Form ausgetragen. Einer einfachen Hin- und Rückrunde im Grunddurchgang (14 Spiele je Mannschaft) folgte eine Platzierungsrunde der besten vier Teams. Die beiden Gruppensieger trugen anschließend das Finale gegeneinander aus.

Hauptrunde

Zwischenrunde

Die vier bestplatzierten Vereine der Hauptrunde spielten in einer doppelten Hin- und Rückrunde die endgültige Platzierung aus.

Finale
In der Finalserie traten der in der Zwischenrunde erst- bzw. zweitplatzierte Verein gegeneinander an. Hier unterlag trotz des Auftaktsieges der HK BR Slavija in fünf Spielen dem HDD Olimpija Ljubljana, der damit seinen elften Meistertitel feiern konnte. Die Laibacher traten nach dieser Saison nur noch mit der Zweitmannschaft in der slowenischen Liga an, da sie seit der Saison 2007/08 an der Erste Bank Eishockey Liga teilnehmen.

 HDD Olimpija Ljubljana (1) – HK BR Slavija (2): 4:1 (2:4, 5:3, 6:1, 2:1, 4:3)

Q: How to extract readme content based on the keyword in batch file I am currently building a batch script code that will extract the file content on a readme file.
Example Content of the first ReadMe File:
Name: Peter Smith
Address: USA
Age: 20

Example Content of the second ReadMe File:
Name: Matt Uy
Address: USA
Age: 21

Now, in my batch script file, I will look for keyword "Name", "Address", and "Age" and produce another text file for the extracted data like sample below:
Peter Smith, 20, USA
Matt Uy, 21, USA

I have this simple code that finds specific string in the file: How can I output the name of the person next to "Name" and produce another txt file with the name?
@echo off
findstr /m "Name" "ReadMe.txt"
if %errorlevel%==0 (
echo <Enter name here>
)

Thanks in Advance! :)

A: It is easier than you think :)
To directly redirect the output of a command to a variable you can use a for-loop:
for /f "tokens=1,* delims=:" %%a in ('findstr "Name" "ReadMe.txt"') do set name=%%b

You will see that I basically placed your command from above in there. Notice, however, that I took away the /m switch!
To use the variable name within your if-block, you will need Delayed Variable Expansion.
To do so add setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion to your script (usually beneath @echo off) and where you need a variable within a closed block of paranthesis change %varname% to !varname! .
This will print output like
Name: Here gets the Name

meaning that it will include the leading Name you are searching for. To get rid of that as well add another codeline: set name=!name:~6! that will delete the first 6 characters (Name:).
To include possible other characters and to just get what is after the : I modified the loop. It will now get the first and all other tokens (blocks of string) that are separated by : and will place the ones after the first into name.
To now get rid of possible leading spaces, you will need another one:
for /f "tokens=* delims= " %%c in ("!name!") do set name=%%c

The DelayedExpansion is used here as well!
Total script would look like this:
@echo off
setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion
findstr /m "Name" "ReadMe.txt"
if %errorlevel%==0 (
for /f "tokens=1,* delims=:" %%a in ('findstr "Name" "newfile.txt"') do set name=%%b
for /f "tokens=* delims= " %%c in ("!name!") do set name=%%c
echo !name!
)

For your other questions, you can use a slightly known search engine named google. You might want to test that out :)

A: For this task I would not use findstr but nested for loops. In the following script, let us name it build-list.bat, there are three loops: the outer-most one resolves the command line arguments which are expected to be the input (ReadMe) file paths/names/patterns; the next loop resolves certain keywords (Name, Age, Address) in the given order; the inner-most for /F loop parses the currently iterated input file; in the inner loop body, an if query checks for the current keyword (in a case-insensitive manner because of /I) and appends the related data to a variable. Here is the code:
@echo off
setlocal EnableExtensions EnableDelayedExpansion

set KEYWORDS="Name","Age","Address"

for %%F in (%*) do (
    set "LINE="
    for %%K in (%KEYWORDS%) do (
        for /F "usebackq tokens=1,* eol=: delims=:   " %%L in ("%%~F") do (
            if /I "%%L"=="%%~K" (
                set "LINE=!LINE!, %%M"
            )
        )
    )
    if defined LINE echo(!LINE:~2!
)

endlocal
exit /B

Supposing your input files are called ReadMe-1.txt, ReadMe-2.txt, etc., and to display the returned data in the console window, run the batch file like this:
build-list.bat "ReadMe-*.txt"

In case the output data need to be stored into built-list.txt, call the batch script like this:
build-list.bat "ReadMe-*.txt" > "built-list.txt"

(Note that in the option string of the for /F loop, the delims= part is followed by a colon (:), a TAB character and a SPACE character in that order.)
