The current Bankruptcy Code was enacted in 1978 by 101 of the Act which generally became effective on October 1, 1979. The current Code completely replaced the former Bankruptcy Act of 1898, sometimes called the "Nelson Act" (Act of July 1, 1898, ch. 541, 30 Stat. 544). The current Code has been amended multiple times since 1978. (See, e.g. Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act of 2005.)
PIP: This document contains a summary of the Family Code adopted by the Yemen Arab Republic on 8 January 1978. Chapter 1 deals with the format of the marriage ceremony and the contract of marriage. Boys under the age of 15 years may not marry. A female child may marry if her consent is given, but the marriage may not be consummated until she reaches the age of 16 and is able to sustain intercourse. Chapter 3 lists the family members who may not marry each other as well as other prohibitions including marriage to a breast-feeding woman, to a woman of a nonscriptural religion, to an Islamic apostate, or to someone currently married, accused of adultery, in the process of divorce, on a pilgrimage, of undetermined sex, or married to a missing person. Men may not take more than four wives, and a Muslim woman may not marry a non-Muslim. Chapter 3 also provides details of requirements for the support of children and spouses and outlines the requirements of a wife to obey her husband as well as the conditions under which a wife may leave her house and those in which a wife is considered a runaway. The Family Code follows the teachings of Islam regarding the illegality of a father to acknowledge a child born as a result of adultery and the denial of adoption. Abandoned children are to be cared for by the person who finds them or as established by a court. Book 2 of the Family law deals with annulment and divorce. Annulment requires the decision of a court and may be sought on such grounds as apostasy and alcoholism. Divorce is the husband's right, but a wife may have this right if it was written into her marriage contract. A divorce may be revocable if the pronouncement of divorce was made only two times within a 90-day period. A pronouncement made three times makes divorce immediate.
The International Maritime Organization (IMO) held a convention to improve the worldwide standards for safety and training of professional mariners in 1978. The Standards of Training, Certification & Watchkeeping for Seafarers (STCW) Convention established a code adopted by many nations on July 7, 1978 and was named the Seafarers Training, Certification, & Watchkeeping (STCW) Code. Subsequent conventions were held in 1991, 1994, 1995 & 1997, and most recently in 2010 to update & revise the code. The latest code update is referred to as STCW, as amended, and represents the most current revisions also commonly known as the manila amendments for the location of the most recent signing and adoption of the revisions in 2010. Technically it is still the STCW 78 Code, as amended. This new code supersedes the STCW 95 code that many mariners are already familiar with which represented the largest revisions since its genesis in 1978.
Most maritime administrations recognize that this may be difficult to be certain about for the near future as each country implements the amendments into their training regimes and each training provider receives approval for the changes in curriculum. Also because many portions of the code were not amended in 2010 and are therefore still appropriately taught at the 1995 level which causes further port state control confusion.
Each administration that MPT is approved by has issued policy and guidance on how to word the new training certificates to show that they are in compliance with the latest version of the STCW Code. The consensus is that the official code was signed in 1978 and since then there have been a number of amendments. Therefore, a training certificate in compliance with 2010 manila amendments that supersedes the 1995 amendments would correctly read "STCW Code 1978, as amended." We realize that this may cause confusion and until it becomes clear will endeavor to have our certificates read STCW Code, as amended without a specific year listed. Unfortunately, most mariners recognized the 1995 code as the updated version but that is no longer the case for many sections of the code and to avoid the same confusion in the future, the IMO is not recommending documents to list the year of the amendments but rather simply the term "as amended". We are hopeful that the coast guard administrations will allow us and other schools to list the year of amendment which we feel would alleviate the confusion, such as STCW 1978 as amended in 2010, etc.
If you have a crew member with a training certificate and you are uncertain as to whether it is up to date and in compliance with the latest version of the code where appropriate, please contact the school that issued the training certificate or the maritime administration who approved the course.
The Presidential Records Act (PRA) of 1978, 44 U.S.C. ß2201-2209, governs the official records of Presidents and Vice Presidents that were created or received after January 20, 1981 (i.e., beginning with the Reagan Administration). The PRA changed the legal ownership of the official records of the President from private to public, and established a new statutory structure under which Presidents, and subsequently NARA, must manage the records of their Administrations. The PRA was amended in 2014, which established several new provisions.
MACRO-10 did not support hex numbers, which is why most numbers are in decimal format. In the floating point code, all numbers are octal. The RADIX statement switches between the two. Octal can also be forced with a ^O prefix.
(IF1 and IF2 are true on the first and the second assembler pass, respectively, so the conditional there is to hint to the assembler in the first pass that SINCON+36 is not a zero page address. Also note that all numbers here are octal, since this code is in the floating point package.)
This formatting was created by an unpublished tool by David T. Craig, who published a lot of Apple-related soure code (Apple II, Apple III, Lisa) in this format in as early as 1993, first anonymously, later with his name).
The Hawaii Code of Ethics, Amendment 30, also known as Amendment 30, was on the ballot in Hawaii on November 7, 1978, as a convention referred constitutional amendment. It was approved. The amendment proposed one new addition to the constitution: Article XIV. The amendment stated that the codes of ethics would be extended to the constitutional convention delegates and employees; it would provide that the ethics codes require provisions for financial disclosure; it would require an independent commission to supervise ethics codes; it would mandate lobbyist registration; and would require candidates for political office to file financial disclosures.[1]
Station operations data were collected on cruises of NOAA R/V Townsend Cromwell, 1978 - 2002, NOAA R/V Oscar E Sette, 2003 and 2007, and Hokusei Maru, a Japanese research and training vessel, 1981 - 1983. Date, station number, latitude, longitude, and the operation(s) conducted at the station were recorded on the collection form.
Internal Revenue Code Section 127 was created by Congress in 1978 as a temporary, expiring tax benefit, intended to allow employers to provide tax-free assistance to their employees who were continuing to pursue their education while working. It was finally made permanent in 2012.
The annual amount of assistance, $5,250, which has not changed in more than 40 years, was based on the average cost of pursuing a four-year college degree in 1978. Amounts are deductible to the employer, and employees do not have to include the amount in their gross taxable income. In 2020, Congress added the option for employers to also use this provision to provide student loan debt relief for employees. Advocates are now working to make that new provision permanent and to expand the annual amount of allowable assistance.
State law requires that, all residential rental applications for units built before 1978. Must have or receive A Lead Safe Certification in order to receive or maintain a Rental Certification of Occupancy.
The Division of Code Enforcement/ Housing & Property Maintenance falls under the purview of Craig Ambrosio, Division Manager of Parks, Buildings, and Grounds/Code Enforcement. The Division of Code Enforcement provides inspections throughout the township to ensure compliance with the township codes. Typically, inspectors respond to a complaint for code violations such as properties in an unsafe condition or state of disrepair. These codes consist of township specific codes and compliance with the International Property Maintenance Code.
Some things have not changed over the years: the very first edition of The Highway Code urged all road users to be careful and considerate towards others, putting safety first. However, other aspects of the code have changed considerably. For example, in 1931 mirrors were not even mentioned and drivers were advised to sound their horn when overtaking.
The 70-page 1978 edition introduced the Green Cross Code for pedestrians and the new orange badges for people with a disability. Prompted by soaring car crime statistics, the amended version contained advice on vehicle security.
