Classify the comment as disagree if it is likely to raise a certain level of public disagreement, whether healthy or unhealthy. The disagreement can be due to toxic content (for example, disrespect, identity attack, insult, and threat), controversial content, misunderstandings, or conflicting opinions.

One night there was a council meeting in the large igloo of Klosh-Kwan, who was the chief. At that meeting Keesh showed how much courage he possessed. He rose to his feet and waited for silence. Then, with the dignity of an older man, he said, \" It is true that my mother and I are given meat to eat. But the meat is always old and tough, filled with bones, and difficult to eat.\" The hunters--both the young and the old--were shocked to hear a child speak to them that way. But Keesh went on steadily, \"Because my father, Bok, was a great hunter, I can speak these words. You know that Bok brought home more meat than any hunter in the village. The oldest woman, the weakest old man, received a fair share.\" Keesh waited calmly until the shouting died down. \"My mother has no one except me, and therefore I must speak.

By the time we were about to reach our house, we spot two dogs, a German Shepherd and a Husky, both male, on the other side of the street sniffing around with no owner in sight. I was ready to hightail out of there with my dog, but I knew if I ran they would chase, so we formed a wall in front of her to hide her. Of course she decides to stick out her head and start barking. Those two dogs whipped their heads so fast and came running towards us to see her. Since she is a puppy she has zero impulse control and starts throwing herself at them, at their backs, face, plus the fact that she doesn’t like being sniffed at her rear (which they are trying very hard to get to). Here I am nervously sweet talking to them, my voice trembling saying good boys. My grandma is her despair grabs the GS’s neck, and his hair bristled and growled for a second before turning back to our pup. At this point my baby girl is sitting down with her tail tucked close, ears flattened, and head down. I thought “Dear Lord someone’s losing a limb today.” When suddenly this car comes pulling up and this man comes out with a leash, the owner. He practically had to wrestle the GS into the car. A woman in a pickup truck comes next trying to get the husky but he ran away again, but my mom didn’t care, she scooped up our pup and ran, the leash trailing behind her, and even my grandma who has troubles in her knees speed walked. My mom would later laugh at me because I became so pale and because I tried to baby talk a dog to leave us alone.

Lynch told the city's devastated gay community, \"We stand with you in the light.\" She also announced a $1 million emergency grant to help Florida law enforcement pay for overtime costs related to the shooting, and she met with prosecutors, first responders and victims of the worst mass shooting in modern U.S. history. Her visit comes as investigators continue to dig into the background of Omar Mateen, the gunman who killed 49 people and injured dozens more on June 12 at the Pulse nightclub. Lynch said it was a \"cruel irony\" that the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community — one defined almost entirely by love — is so often a target of hate. She told the LGBTQ community, \"We stand with you to say that the good in the world far outweighs the evil; that our common humanity transcends our differences; and that our most effective response to terror and hatred is compassion, unity and love.\" Also Tuesday, Orlando police reopened streets near the nightclub and wound down their investigation at the crime scene. A makeshift memorial that went up nearby shortly after the massacre was still standing Tuesday, with chalk messages on the sidewalk and utility poles. Among them are drawings of hearts, the message \"God bless'' and the hashtag \"#Orlandostrong.'' Lynch declined to answer questions about the investigation and whether authorities are looking to charge anyone else in connection with the case. She said investigators will \"go back ... and see if there's anything we could have missed or anything we could have done better'' in terms of spotting Mateen as a threat. She said \"people often act out of more than one motivation,'' adding that a motive may never be known. Mateen was shot and killed by police during the attack.

Any commercialization (including, but not limited to, the grant of commercialization licenses) of JOINT INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY and/or OTHER RESEARCH RESULTS shall result in CERES paying IGER a reasonable remuneration (whether as a royalty or in some other form as the Parties may agree) to be negotiated in good faith. The terms for remuneration will be specified, with respect to specific RESEARCH PROJECTS, JOINT INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY and/or OTHER RESEARCH RESULTS, either in the respective SCHEDULES or in other agreements to be executed by the Parties.\n\n5.3.2 Subject to Articles 5.1 and 5.2, IGER grants CERES an exclusive, world-wide license, with the right to grant sublicenses, to use and exploit commercially (a) IGER's interest in any JOINT INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY (including but not limited to RELEASED VARIETIES) and OTHER RESEARCH RESULTS; (b) IGER INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY and (c) when and only to the extent necessary for the commercialization or use of JOINT INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY and/or OTHER RESEARCH RESULTS and/or IGER INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY for the COLLABORATION CROPS, IGER BACKGROUND INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY, subject to paying IGER reasonable remuneration (whether as a royalty or in some other form as the Parties may agree) to be negotiated in good faith. Such license grants will be further specified in SCHEDULES to this Agreement and/or other agreements to be executed by the Parties. Unless otherwise agreed by both Parties, license agreements for non-transgenic RELEASED VARIETIES will be based on the Model License Agreement for Non-transgenic Varieties in EXHIBIT G or such other model license agreements as the Parties may agree upon. Certain remuneration principles to be included in other license agreements, unless the Parties agree otherwise, are set forth in EXHIBIT H.\n\n 5.3 Commercialization Rights — Other.\n\n CERES-IGER Collaboration Agreement Page 15 of 75\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n6.1 CERES will have the right, at its own discretion and expense, to take any action to enforce and to initiate and prosecute suits for infringement of jointly owned intellectual property rights covering JOINT INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY.

IGER will be responsible for the conduct of any such enforcement action. IGER shall be responsible for retaining counsel and shall promptly notify CERES following retention of counsel, and CERES agrees to be represented by such counsel as may be required for any enforcement action or settlement.

If any provision of this Agreement is or becomes invalid, is ruled illegal by a court of competent jurisdiction or is deemed unenforceable under the current applicable law from time to time in effect during the term of this Agreement, the remainder of this Agreement will not be affected or impaired thereby and will continue to be construed to the maximum extent permitted by law. In lieu of each provision which is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, there will be substituted or added as part of this Agreement by mutual written agreement of the Parties, a provision which will be as similar as possible, in economic and business objectives as intended by the Parties to such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision, but will be valid, legal and enforceable.\n\n17.3 Waiver.\n\nNo failure or delay by either Party in exercising any right or remedy under this Agreement will waive any provision of this Agreement.

CERES and IGER aim to develop commercial biomass crops from leading Miscanthus lines via a collaboration with 2 major foci: I) propagation; and II) breeding. These are described in turn below.\n\nI. Propagation.\n\nThe major barrier to profitable Miscanthus cropping is efficient and inexpensive propagation. In the UK, subsidy support makes [***] of Miscanthus x giganteus an economically viable planting method. This is not the case in [***], where there is no government support for the crop and initial [***] from which to generate planting material is extremely limited.\n\nIt is not commercially feasible to produce Miscanthus on a large scale in [***] from traditional [***] schemes. Success of Miscanthus crops for large markets will be determined by development of\n\nCERES-IGER SCHEDULE 1\n\nPage 1 of 10\n\nConfidential Treatment Requested and the Redacted Material has been separately filed with the Commission\n\n BETWEEN CERES, INC. (CERES), a Delaware corporation, having its principal place of business at 1535 Rancho Conejo Blvd., Thousand Oaks, CA 91320, United States of America, and\n\n\n\nINSTITUTE OF GRASSLAND AND ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH (IGER), a company limited by guarantee, registered in England No. 473456 and a registered Charity No. 272150, having an office at Plas Gogerddan, Aberystwyth, Ceredigion, SY23 3EB, United Kingdom\n\nA. Unless otherwise specified herein, the terms of the CA shall apply to this SCHEDULE.\n\nB. In the event of any difference between the terms of this SCHEDULE and the CA, then the terms of this SCHEDULE shall prevail.\n\nI.A. Rationale:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\ncost-effective propagation technology, and the magnitude of success depends on the speed with which this technology can be developed.\n\nAll other lines of crop development research in this collaboration will be dependent on success with propagation.\n\nTo be successful, Miscanthus must be planted from small, homogenous propagules that can be cheaply and rapidly produced, flow-ably transported, stored for months and consistently emerge after planting. In theory, the best propagule for Miscanthus production is seed. However, propagation of Miscanthus from seed is complicated and difficult. Development of [***] Miscanthus varieties will be a [***] of the [***] of this collaboration.\n\nAn alternative approach to seed in the short term is to [***] Miscanthus from [***] as is common in [***]. [***] is more feasible with decreasing [***] and has not been thoroughly explored in Europe. The potential of [***] should be investigated from both an applied and basic perspective. It was agreed that while the approach is more likely to work in [***], it should also include x [***] and at least initially [***].\n\nDevelopment of [***] and [***] techniques for [***] Miscanthus cropping systems will utilize a combination of theoretical and applied methods in the lab, glasshouse and field.\n\nCERES-IGER SCHEDULE 1\n\nPage 2 of 10\n\nConfidential Treatment Requested and the Redacted Material has been separately filed with the Commission\n\nI.B. Goal: Applied methods for effective [***] of Miscanthus hybrids.\n\n I.B.i. Objective 1: Identify [***] techniques and optimize them with existing hybrids.\n\n Methods: Screen [***], x [***] and other species at least initially for [***] ability with multiple techniques in a broad range of factorial field and glasshouse experiments. Glasshouse experiments can be conducted year-round at IGER and at CERES in Thousand Oaks, CA. Additional experiments may be conducted at other CERES locations added at a later date. Field experiments will be conducted [***] at IGER and begin in multiple locations in [***] during the three (3) year period of this SCHEDULE.\n\n I.B.ii. Objective 2: More basic genetic and physiological work aimed at characterising and understanding [***].\n\n Methods: A series of experiments into the [***] of [***] with a focus on inducing plant growth from [***] ([***] and [***]) [***]. Work should explore [***] cues ([***], [***], [***]) as well as [***] ([***]). Explore [***] and score in [***] if possible, to locate [***]. Evaluate candidate [***] (from Arabidopsis, [***] if possible and other species) promoting [***] frequency.\n\nI.C. Goal: Applied methods for effective [***] of Miscanthus hybrids.\n\n I.C.i. Objective 1: Demonstrate potential of [***] and create protocols.\n\n Methods: Check [***] of [***] and [***] of a wide range of [***] in response to [***] and [***] with a combination of [***], glasshouse and finally field experiments. Interpret results in context of [***] range, genotype and [***] conditions under which the [***] was [***]. Produce guidelines for effective [***] and [***].\n\nI.D. Goal: [***] based systems for rapid [***] of germplasm and plants to be used in [***].\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nII. Breeding\n\nMiscanthus is an unimproved plant species with great potential as an energy crop. [***] has not yet been fully collected and characterized. Miscanthus species are capable of crossing with [***] — a characteristic that has long been exploited in [***] where Miscanthus germplasm is used to [***]. The use of Miscanthus for biomass is a relatively new area, thus initial collection and evaluation of germplasm may discover lines already suited to the commercial market, and will certainly provide the base for the breeding needed to develop [***] into dedicated bioenergy crops. This breeding programme will employ traditional methodology to [***] and [***] for traits of interest. Molecular markers will be developed to assist identification of traits and expedite development of elite lines. Major traits of interest include increased biomass production, altered composition for improved conversion to fuel, [***] tolerance and seed suitable to produce [***] ([***]) [***].\n\nAs lines with commercial potential are identified they will be selected for direct field trialing at IGER and/or at CERES locations in [***] to speed up commercial variety development.\n\nCERES-IGER SCHEDULE 1\n\nPage 3 of 10\n\nConfidential Treatment Requested and the Redacted Material has been separately filed with the Commission\n\n I.D.i. Objective 1: Provide plants for [***] based [***].\n\n Methods: [***] plants using clean systems for shipment to [***] in accordance with international regulations.\n\n I.D.ii. Objective 2: Investigate [***] in [***] of lines potentially useful in breeding, including hybrids.\n\n Methods: Evaluate the [***] capacity of breeding line candidates in response to standard or improved [***] techniques.\n\n I.D.iii. Objective 3: Develop estimates of time and cost required to [***] plants in [***] based systems.\n\n Methods: Conduct a desk study to compare the costs/benefits and barriers associated with large scale [***] methodology including [***].\n\nI.E. Goal: Proof of Concept field trials of research findings in target locations.\n\n I.E.i. Objective 1: Evaluate and optimize propagation techniques under commercially relevant conditions.\n\n Methods: Use IGER and CERES infrastructure for field trialing methods in the UK and at multiple locations in [***] and elsewhere. These should expand on research performed at IGER and test genotype by environment interactions, with a focus on potentially commercial genotypes.\n\n I.E.ii. Objective 2: Evaluate and optimize germplasm performance in the UK and in multiple [***].\n\n Methods: Use IGER and CERES infrastructure for field trialing at multiple locations in the UK, [***] and elsewhere. These should expand on research performed at IGER and test genotype by environment interactions with a focus on potentially commercial genotypes.\n\nII.A. Rationale:\n\nII. B. Goal: A complete and documented Miscanthus [***].\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCERES-IGER SCHEDULE 1\n\nPage 4 of 10\n\nConfidential Treatment Requested and the Redacted Material has been separately filed with the Commission\n\n II.B.i. Objective 1: [***] to [***] in [***].\n\n Methods: In accordance with international conventions, e.g., the Convention on Biodiversity (CBD), [***] Miscanthus [***] from the [***] of [***]. Document the phenotype and growing [***], using [***] to accurately record the [***]. [***] to [***] for [***] and subsequent phenotype documentation.\n\n II B.ii. Objective 2: Characterize full [***].\n\n Methods: Document the morphological, physiological and [***] of interest in the [***] using consistent phenotyping nomenclature and [***] compositional analysis. Develop molecular markers associated with phenotypic traits.\n\n II.B.iii. Objective 3: Assess relatedness of plants identified as useful parents for hybrids.\n\n Methods: Use molecular markers developed for traits of interest in combination with germplasm characterization data, particularly [***], to select parents with desired traits that are also likely to present [***].\n\n II.B.iv. Objective 4: Develop a dynamic warehouse to store data and develop systems to analyse data and support multidisciplinary collaborative research.\n\n Methods: IGER and CERES to consider best options for developing the database. Populate the database with the [***] and [***] information [***]. As germplasm is characterized, integrate phenotype and marker data and use to facilitate choice of promising [***] lines as well as inform the preparation needed to ensure [***] (e.g. [***]). As data become available from other components of the collaborative research, such as field trialing and conversion analysis, it will be added to the database to allow PIs to synergistically design next step experiments.\n\nII.C. Goal: Improved Miscanthus hybrids for commercial use.\n\n II.C.i. Objective: Select improved parents.\n\n Methods: [***] within [***] using information from molecular markers and composition analysis to shorten and streamline the selection of parents. Cross between [***] and evaluate hybrids to identify improved parents.\n\n II.C.ii. Objective: Make crosses of selected [***] lines.\n\n Methods: Appropriate germplasm will be selected for crossing using the database decision tool. Plants will be [***] to [***] in glasshouses and [***] made both in the glasshouse and outdoors at IGER, depending on time of year. Improve efficiency of [***] and, for [***], [***]. Determine [***] — and [***]. Send seed of [***] candidates and [***] to CERES locations for trialing.\n\n II.C. iii Objective: Selection of superior [***].\n\n Methods: [***] will be transplanted to field. Important morpho-physiological traits will be recorded over [***] years after which the best genotypes will be selected, [***] and [***] into rhizomes. The value of early prediction of traits will be assessed. A mass selection reservoir (MSR) will be maintained as a safety net and to contain interesting genotypes that do not justify commercial development.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCERES-IGER SCHEDULE 1\n\nPage 5 of 10\n\nConfidential Treatment Requested and the Redacted Material has been separately filed with the Commission\n\n II.C.iv. Objective: Field evaluation of hybrids.\n\n Methods: From rhizomes taken in iii, replicated trials will be established. After [***] (or [***]) years, the best genotypes will be provided to CERES to test at diverse locations for commercially relevant evaluation.\n\n II D. Goal: Improved Miscanthus Varieties.\n\n II.D.i. Objective: Explore new methods of breeding.\n\n Methods: Set up and test [***] in terms of [***] and [***]. Set up and test [***] in terms of [***] and [***] to determine whether [***] will be acceptable. The results will guide applications for the setting up of Plant Breeders' Rights schemes.\n\n3.

PROVISIONS FOR EARLY TERMINATION:\n\n This SCHEDULE does not terminate automatically upon termination of the CA.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCERES-IGER SCHEDULE 1\n\nPage 8 of 10\n\nConfidential Treatment Requested and the Redacted Material has been separately filed with the Commission\n\n This SCHEDULE shall expire pursuant to the terms set forth in this SCHEDULE, unless extended by the mutual agreement of the Parties, or unless sooner terminated in accordance with the following provisions of this Article:\n\n (a) mutual, written agreement of the Parties;\n\n (b) failure of one Party to satisfy its material obligations under this SCHEDULE, and such Party subsequently fails to cure such failure(s) within (i) thirty (30) days for failures to remit payment for amounts due under this SCHEDULE and (ii) ninety (90) days for all other obligations in each case after receipt of written notice from the non-breaching Party specifying such failure(s);\n\n (c) one (1) year's written notice of termination by either CERES or IGER to the other Party in case either the terminating Party or the other Party ceases substantially all activities in the COLLABORATION CROPS;\n\n (d) IGER will have the right to terminate this SCHEDULE unilaterally with thirty (30) days' written notice to CERES, (i) if CERES seeks protection under any bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, trust, deed, creditors arrangement or comparable proceeding or if any such proceeding is instituted against CERES (and not dismissed within one hundred twenty (120) days); (ii) in case of dissolution or winding up of CERES (excluding any situation where all or substantially all of CERES' assets, stock or business to which the CA relates are acquired by a third party (whether by sale, acquisition, merger, operation of law or otherwise)); (iii) with written notice to CERES, if CERES has failed in a substantial manner, three (3) years after either Party or the Parties jointly have developed a [***] method for Miscanthus that results in the crop being commercially competitive in the United States or in Europe as compared to other energy crops being grown at that time in the relevant geography, to implement the activities set forth in EXHIBIT F to the CA, and does not remedy such failure or offer a remediation plan which is reasonably acceptable to IGER within ninety (90) days after receipt of a written notice from IGER specifying such failure;\n\n (e) CERES will have the right to terminate this SCHEDULE unilaterally: (i) with thirty (30) days' written notice to IGER if John Clifton-Brown or Iain Donnison cease(s) to be associated with IGER and the research activities associated with this SCHEDULE, and IGER has not replaced such person(s) within one hundred twenty (120) days by (a) person(s) reasonably acceptable to CERES; (ii) with ninety (90) days' written notice to IGER, if the institutional mission, purpose, structure or funding of IGER would change substantially and adversely affect IGER's ability to satisfy its obligations hereunder; (iii) with one (1) years' written notice to IGER, if CERES has a documented compelling business reason to cease the collaboration, (for example, without limitation, lack of sufficient processing capacity for COLLABORATION CROPS within the expected timeframe in the United States; COLLABORATION CROPS are non-competitive with other biomass sources); (iv) with three (3) months' prior written notice to IGER, such notice to be given no earlier than eighteen (18) months after the Effective Date of the CA, if no rights to commercialize (including determination of the compensation due upon commercialization) COLLABORATION CROPS germplasm provided by IGER which is included in the RESEARCH PROJECT covered by this SCHEDULE have been\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCERES-IGER SCHEDULE 1\n\nPage 9 of 10\n\nConfidential Treatment Requested and the Redacted Material has been separately filed with the Commission\n\n secured to CERES' reasonable satisfaction in compliance with the CBD; or (v) with thirty (30) days' written notice to IGER if Defra has not assigned to IGER, or granted to IGER an exclusive license reasonably satisfactory to CERES on, the Intellectual Property vested in Defra or the Crown or the Secretary of State pursuant to the DEFRA agreement NF 0426 within sixty (60) days from the Effective Date (the Assignment/License), provided however that such termination may be for the entirety of this SCHEDULE or only for certain parts of the RESEARCH PROJECT covered by this SCHEDULE.\n\n18. SPECIAL CONDITIONS:\n\n 18.1 VARIETY RELEASE\n\n 18.1.1 RELEASE DATE shall mean the date that CERES determines that a variety developed, tested and evaluated pursuant to the terms of this SCHEDULE is ready for release, wherein upon such decision, such variety will be formally released by IGER and CERES jointly (if the variety constitutes JOINT INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY) or by IGER (if the variety constitutes IGER INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY) or by CERES (if the variety constitutes CERES INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY).\n\n 18.1.2 For the purposes of this SCHEDULE, CERES, on advice of the breeder(s) of each variety via the MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE, shall establish, in its sole discretion, an appropriate RELEASE DATE for such varieties.\n\n 18.1.3 At or about the RELEASE DATE for a variety, CERES will determine a COMMERCIAL NAME for such variety under which the seed of the same will be marketed and sold. COMMERCIAL NAME means the complete, preferred name of a released variety under which it will be marketed and sold.\n\n 18.1.4 The Parties agree that the development of new varieties will not always result in varieties that are commercially acceptable or releasable. Provided all Parties execute their respective obligations under this SCHEDULE in an appropriate and reasonable manner, no one Party shall be liable to the other for any refund or other recompense because no commercially acceptable new variety is produced.\n\n 18.2 BBSRC project: Optimizing the development of the energy grass Miscanthus through manipulation of the flowering time.\n\n Reference to this project (BBSRC grant) is included in EXHIBIT E to the CA.\n\n The RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT PLAN in Attachment A hereto refers to certain activities to be conducted by IGER pursuant to the BBSRC grant. The Parties expressly acknowledge and agree that:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIN WITNESS THEREOF this SCHEDULE has been executed on the date hereinbefore entered.\n\nCERES-IGER SCHEDULE 1\n\nPage 10 of 10\n\n (i) the results of such activities shall constitute IGER INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY, and\n\n (ii) IGER may make certain data resulting from such activities publicly available in compliance with the BBSRC grant.\n\n INSTITUTE OF GRASSLAND AND ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH CERES, INC.

years 1 through 3. A contract year (Year) is April 1 — March 31, starting April 1, 2007. CERES agrees to provide funding for IGER's RESEARCH PROJECT activities covered by this SCHEDULE in accordance with Article 1.8 of the CA as set forth in the Budget in page 1 of this Attachment B, taking into account what is provided hereinafter. Pay Costs, Other Recurrent and Other Costs are as in the Budget. Overhead Costs will be payable as follows:\n\nPage 2\n\nConfidential Treatment Requested and the Redacted Material has been separately filed with the Commission\n\n - Each contract year CERES will pay [***]% of the overheads asked, (e.g. of the [***] pounds in Year 1), for the expected reasonable performance in the various aspects of the program Year by Year and especially for all the items listed in the attached document. This [***]% amounts to [***] pounds in contract Year 1.\n\n - Furthermore, CERES will pay for Year 1 an additional [***]% of the asked overhead ( i.e.[***]% in total of the asked overhead) for full completion of the Year 1 items A and B listed hereinafter. This additional [***]% equals [***] pounds.\n\n - For Year 2 CERES will pay an additional [***]% of the overhead costs asked for full and successful completion of Year 2 items A and C hereinafter.\n\n - For Year 3 CERES will pay an additional [***]% of the overhead costs asked for full and successful completion of Year 3 items A, B, C and D listed hereinafter.\n\n - The MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE will bring forth recommendations to the Parties at the beginning of each Year for the items that IGER should satisfy to obtain extra overheads, outlined in the framework above.\n\n - Assessment on achievements of the nominated items will be made at the end of each Year by the MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE and recommendations made to the Parties. Upon agreement, CERES will respond to an invoice from IGER as agreed. Should some items in a section not be achieved then the amount paid will be reduced on a pro-rata basis on the number of items in the section.
