Practical Fishkeeping magazine | Are your fish illegal?

Am I breaking the law? in UK
If you’ve got a coldwater tank or pond and it contains anything other than the usual goldfish, Koi, Tench or Orfe, there’s a possibility that you could be breaking the law

Weather loaches are on the list. Do I need a licence?
Probably not. Although the list mentions the Weather loach, Misgurnus fossilis, this is not the fish in the UK aquatic trade. The Weather loaches imported
into our shops are actually
M. anguillicaudatus, which comes from Central China rather than Europe. M. anguillicaudatus (a warm water species) isn’t considered a threat to our environment, so it’s not covered by the legislation.

The trade say that Weather loaches have become less common due to health problems.

Registration Services - Certificate Ordering Service: "Welcome to the General Register Office for England and Wales online ordering service
The General Register Office (GRO) holds a central copy of all registrations for England and Wales. Local Register Offices also hold records of events registered in their area.

For recent events registered within the last 18 months, applications for certificates should be made to the Register Office in the district where the birth, death or marriage took place.

Following the successful launch of the on-line ordering site for residents of the United Kingdom we are now ready to offer this service to customers residing outside of the UK. This will, initially, be on a trial basis, allowing us to test and monitor the success of this expansion to our current service. "

THE HARBOR OF THE DECORATIONS

The decorations are fixed on the left side of the chest in an order of very precise precedence.

This list will permit you I hope for it in your research to situate the medals of your forebears.
VARY:

The specific medals to the associations carry themselves exclusively at the time of the public démonstration " deprived " of the concerned associations and on the right side.

SHOULDER BRAID :

The shoulder braid makes the tour of the arm to the level of the armpit and carry himself very close to attached the left shoulder.

THE HARBOR OF THE FLAG ON THE COFFIN:

During the ceremony of the funerals, the tricolor flag maybe placed on the coffin of a Former Fighter, titular of the card of the fighter or voluntary fighter. An agreement formulated by the secretary of the interior in 1999 spreads this privilege to the holders of the Title of Recognition of the Nation

DER HAFEN DER DEKORATIONEN

Die Dekorationen sind auf der linken Seite der Brust in einer Ordnung festgelegt von sehr genauem Vorsitz. Diese Liste wird Ihnen erlauben, ich hoffe auf sie in Ihren Forschungen, sie festzulegen Medaillen Ihrer Vorfahren.

Guardian Unlimited Books | News | Where to stick grocer's apostrophe:

"One of the epidemic errors of the past 30 years - unnecessary, misplaced or omitted apostrophes in the words 'its'and 'it's' - has dwindled to only about 8% of people, possibly because the mistake has drawn so much ridicule. It was dubbed 'the grocer's apostrophe' because of its unnecessary use in plural words on shop signs or placards (Price's Slashed). "

genealogy -- Encyclopædia Britannica: "History of genealogical study
Early written records
With the invention of writing, the oral became the written tradition. This occurred in Greece and Rome, where genealogies were recorded in poems and in histories. But genealogy did not at this stage become a science, because when writers dealt with it, they did so either incidentally in their narrative or because they were concerned with the family relationships. . .

Digitalarkivet: "The Digital Archive is a result of the co-operation between the History department at the University of Bergen, and the Regional State Archives of Bergen, a part of the National State Archives.

New times need new solutions and this co-operation is an expression of such.

The National Archives of Norway, under the leadership of the Director General, are protectors of important parts of our national memory and heritage.
Previously we have passed on knowledge from this memory, to all those who have either written to us or visited our search-rooms, through publications, lectures, data-based registers and microfilms. Now new technical solutions can give our old and new users easier access to large amounts of information found in the National Archives and the Regional State Archives.

Archives themselves are mediators of information, and it is important for me as Director General of the National Archives, that we reach out to new groups with our sources and our knowledge.

The Digital Archive is a new solution to old needs - the need to consult source materials. I hope therefore that this new service will be widely used. However, please remember that all our old services are still very much at hand.

XGenML, Developing a new XML standard for genealogy
The primary purpose of this group is to create an open XML specification for genealogical information.

The standard will be based on the work of others who have started to create genealogical models and XML standards, including the LDS church with GEDCOM 6.0 XML, Gentech, GenXML, GedML, GeniML, and any others.

This standard is to be an open standard, which will be able to be used by genealogical applications to easily create, exchange, provide and analyze this information.
