TIP: INCASE OF SEEPAGE, PLACE A TOWEL UNDER THE TATTOOED AREA TO AVOID STAINING YOUR SHEETS WHILE YOU SLEEP.
REMOVE THE BANDAGE AND WASH YOUR TATTOO THOROUGHLY. DO THIS BY LATHERING UNSCENTED SOAP BY HAND FOR 20-30 SECONDS BEFORE RINSING. REPEAT THIS STEP UNTIL THE TATTOO IS COMPLETELY CLEAN. THIS WILL HELP ELIMINATE THE EXCESS BLOOD AND PLASMA AND REDUCE THE RISK OF PREMATURE SCABBING.
TIP: REMOVE BANDAGE IN THE SHOWER BY RUNNING IT UNDER WARM WATER. GRAB FROM THE CORNER AND GENTLY PEEL THE WRAP OFF. RECOMMENDED SOAP: DOVE UNSCENTED. DO NOT USE A SPONGE OR LOOFAH.
GENTLY PAT DRY WITH A CLEAN, LINT FREE TOWEL.
AVOID APPLYING ANY LOTION FOR THE FIRST 3-5 DAYS. LET YOUR NATURAL OILS AID IN THE INITIAL HEALING PROCESS. ONCE YOUR TATTOO STARTS TO FEEL DRY, ITCHY, OR IRRITATED, APPLY 1-2 DROPS OF UNSCENTED, WATER-BASED LOTION. MOISTURIZE UNTIL THE LOTION HAS FULLY DISSOLVED. RECOMMENDED LOTION: LUBRIDERM UNSCENTED. DO NOT USE POLYSPORIN OF NEOSPORIN.
TIP: THE LESS LOTION, THE BETTER. TO MUCH LOTION WILL PREVENT THE TATTOO FROM BREATHING AND CAUSE UNNECESSARY IRRITATION.
DO NOT SUBMERGE YOUR TATTOO IN WATER DURING THE HEALING PROCESS. IE. BATHS, SWIMMING POOLS, SAUNAS AND ETC. QUICK SHOWERS ARE OKAY BUT AFTER YOUR INITIAL RINSE, KEEP THE TATTOO FACING AWAY FROM THE SHOWER HEAD.
TIP: IF YO'U'RE NOT GOING TO DRINK THE WATER, DON'T BE IN THE WATER.
AVOID EXPOSURE TO THE SUN. KEEP YOUR TATTOO COVERED DURING THE HEALING PROCESS AS WELL AS 1-2 WEEKS AFTER TO ENSURE YOUR TATTOO HAS SETTLED.
DO NOT PICK OR SCRATCH YOUR TATTOO. YOU WILL EXPECT MINOR IRRITATION AND ITCHINESS. THIS IS A HEALTHY SIGN THAT YOUR TATTOO IS HEALING.
TIP: ASIDE FROM APPLYING LOTION, A LIGHT SLAP WILL HELP ALLEVIATE THE ITCH.
AVOID WEARING ANY CLOTHING/ MATERIALS THAT MAY IRRITATE THE TATTOO. IE. WOOL.
AVOID STRENUOUS ACTIVITIES THAT MAY IRRITATE THE TATTOO. IE. GYM, YOGA, DANCE AND ETC. IF YOU STILL FEEL OBLIGATED TO PARTICIPATE, ENSURE YOUR TATTOO IS COVERED AND YOUR CLOTHING IS CLEAN. BE MINDFUL WHEN SWEATING AND PAT DRY EVERY 5-1O MINUTES. DO NOT ALLOW YOUR TATTOO TO COME IN CONTACT WITH ANY EQUIPMENT AND OR FOREIGN OBJECTS.
HEALING CAN TAKE UP TO 2-3 WEEKS.

Q: Play videos with iframe in html I want to play a video, but it is only downloading.

Here is my code:

The Result when the page load is:

How can I play the video with iframe and not with the video tag?

A: Just use the <video><source src="..." type="video/mp4"></video> tags.

A: Actually there's nothing wrong with your code!
But the problem is with IDM (Internet Download Manager) as it hooks every link that your browser is requesting and finds whether the destination you're trying to access matches what is in IDM's extensions list, so the first thing would execute after the file being requested is IDM as it has higher priority than your browser and its anyway serving as a listener inside your browser.
you either have to exclude "localhost" from the hook
or you have to remove the mp4 extension from IDM's extension list (which isnt efficient)

A: Although some browsers might support this way of importing a video(Using an ) some browsers will act towards the video as a file and attempt to download it. The correct way to display a video is using the <video> tag:
<video width="540" height="310" controls>
  <source src="videos/1.mp4" type="video/mp4">
</video>

See W3Schools tutorial here: video tag simple tutorial

A: An iframe tag is used to display another page, not used to play video. You can not play a video with that tag, whether or vimeo youtube or any other company lets you add video using a "iframe" is because they have previously configured some options on that page and have put a video. And that's why you can insert a video through an iframe.
Now if you want to force this, you should do the following:

*

*Create a html-and in that html implement a video with the

*Then from the other page write the
And that would be it.

A: An iframe is an HTML element that allows an external website or webpage or document(like word, pdf) or video to be embedded in an HTML document.
Here is an example for loading an Youtube video through iframe tag on your site

Output:

https://jsfiddle.net/anjaneyulu15/og64djL0/7/

Original content is taken from iframeinhtml.com

A: You can use this, you can use the mp4 url as url parameters and return HTML VideoJS player.
https://simplevideoplayer.bubbleapps.io/

A: You can generate dynamic content like that:

let ifTest = document.getElementById('if-test');
let videoPath = 'https://file-examples.com/storage/fe63ea2155630fa7ba2b829/2017/04/file_example_MP4_480_1_5MG.mp4';
let videoHtml = '<video width="100%" autoplay="true" loop="true" muted="true" ><source src="' + videoPath + '" type="video/mp4" /></video>';

ifTest.setAttribute('srcdoc', videoHtml);
ifTest.setAttribute('style', 'width:264px; height:150px;')

Senior Kim Named Presidential Scholar
June 11, 2009 by Zach Jones
Senior Daniel J. Kim has been named a 2009 Presidential Scholar, making him the third Harker Presidential Scholar since 2006. This marks the first year Harker has had two semifinalists in the Presidential Scholar selection process; Vikram Nathan, Gr. 12 was also a semifinalist.
Kim has been invited to Washington, D.C., where he and other scholars from around the country and abroad will be presented with a Presidential Scholar medallion during National Recognition Week in June.
Harker's previous two Presidential Scholars were Senan Ebrahim '08 and Samantha Fang '06, who was named a Scholar of the Arts.
Each year the U.S. Department of Education names one male and one female Scholar, from each state, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico. In addition, two students are selected from families living abroad, 15 students are chosen at large and 20 are chosen who specialize in visual and performing arts.
About 3,000 academic candidates are eligible based on evaluation of their College Board SAT or ACT Assessment scores. Students interested in joining the arts portion of the Presidential Scholar program must register for youngARTS, a program by the National Foundation for Advancement in the Arts, which then nominates students as Presidential Scholars.
Reception honors 2019-20 Near/Mitra scholars

Don't you wish you had more time at the end of the year? Ethiopians manage to squeeze a short 13th month to the end of theirs, culminating with the end of the rainy season and the emergence of little, yellow wildflowers across the countryside.
This September holiday commemorates the return of the Queen of Sheba from Jerusalem, where she had visited King Solomon as documented in I Kings 10 and II Chronicles 9, an encounter I wrote about in my earlier article, The Queen of Sheba and the raiders of the lost Ark.
Girls wear new white dresses and carry yellow flowers from home to home, singing songs in exchange for small gifts.
Men demonstrate their strength by slaughtering sheep or goats at home, while the ladies stew up various dishes and make homemade cheese.
All gather for the traditional coffee ceremony, where in our Gurage home we blend it with clarified butter and spices.
Recall Ethiopia had closed its doors to foreigners at the start of the 17th century, just as the Gregorian calendar was coming into fashion. As a result, Ethiopians still adhere to a version of the Julian calendar that is severely out of sync today. Just go with it, as it takes a while to adjust to Ethiopian time.

Managing the Database and log file size growth can be a difficult task sometimes. When things go out of hand, DBA tend to use inefficient methods such as "Database Shrink" or "Shrink Log Files." Database shrink can hurt your SQL Server performance. Shrinking Log files will take away your option to do "Point in Time Restores." So what are the best practices? Read on to know how to manage your SQL Server log and database file size growth.
The default setting for SQL Server is set as "In Percent" File Growth option for database files. This is not recommended. You need to plan from the beginning to avoid size issues in the future. When the "In Percent" option on any database file, the file size is probably going to be very big. This causes performance degradation when new data pages are allocated on the fly during the "file growth phase." Use "In Megabytes" option for File Growth. This option is also included in the SQL Server 2016 Setup.
It is recommended the practice to keep the initial file size to 1024 MB for data files (MDF, NDF*) and 256 MB for log files (LDF). Log files are transactionally heavy and need low latency disk drivers to perform optimally. Shrinking Log files is not a good idea. This is because they are essential for point-in-time recovery in case of a disaster.
Shrinking Databases and Log Files are not recommended on a regular basis. Only in exceptional cases, a one-time activity is recommended. Shrinking your Database files will free up unused space and release the space to the file system. This can get ugly, and your indexes can be fragmented as a result of this. Instead, the recommended approach is to set the auto-growth settings to a fixed size, or change the default 10% auto-growth settings to bytes and look at your projected numbers.
For LDF Files (SQL Log Files): Taking Regular Transaction Log Backups from the Native Backup program build into SQL Server Management Studio should help to manage the size of the T-Logs. Setting up a retention policy on the Backups (For Example 2 Weeks ) would help you to control the size of the Log Files.
In case if you are using Symantec Backup Exec Software follow this article that talks about Truncating SQL Server Log Files. This is particularly recommended for SQL Databases running in Full Recovery Model.
Like I mentioned before, Shrinking Databases and Log-files is not a good option to maintain the Log File size. However, As a Onetime process, you can change the default backup priority options to primary SQL Server. Take at least one a full and one transaction log backup on the Primary Server. Perform a Shrink on the log files of all databases on the primary replica. This will I turn truncate the empty the log drives on all the secondary availability replicas. Alternatively, you can take out the Database from the Availability Group perform the maintenance tasks and again add them back to the AG. You need to check the Index Fragmentation and Rebuild or Reorganize Indexes if necessary.
In case if the Database store LOB Data using LOB Data types like (varchar(max), nvarchar(max), XML, varbinary(max)) and Legacy LOB types (text, ntext, image), they can be stored in-row or off-row (i.e. as part of the data or index record, or in a tree of text records on altogether different pages).
Kindly note that shrinking these Datatypes will take much longer time than usual.
I hope this post was helpful, If you have questions, drop me a comment below.


NETTLETON was laid out in 1868 by Hunt, Godfrey & Co., of Hannibal. Maj. Josiah Hunt and C.O. Godrey were well known railroad men and capitalists at the time. The original name was Gomer, a Bible name. In 1870 the name was changed to Nettleton in honor of George H. Nettleton, a former superintendent of the Hannibal and St. Joseph and a well known railroad man. A railroad station was built at Nettleton in 1870. The village had one store in 1870 and its population in 1878 was about 50.


China's two-child policy implemented in 2016 has failed to make an impact on the country's low birth rate as the number of new-borns dropped by two million a year ago in the world's most populous nation, according to official figures released Monday.
There have now been three consecutive quarters of slowing GDP growth in China, stoking fears of the impact on the global economy, and increasing pressure on Beijing to act to boost consumer and business sentiment and spending with measures including easing credit restrictions, cutting taxes and state spending. The trade war with the USA has added to the gloomy outlook.
Lu Bing, a manager at a clothing shop in Yancheng, said its sales dropped as much as 30 percent in 2018.
It's worth remembering that although China's growth has slowed, the economy is still growing. Better educated young Chinese face more complicated but also more varied job prospects and are less inclined than their parents to marry and start a family.
A cooling Chinese economy could hurt companies from iPhone maker Apple in the U.S. and carmakers in Europe to mineral exporters in Australia. The Shenzhen A-shares index added 0.6 percent to 1,390.84.

Q: Reading BufferedInputStream from named Linux pipe only works once I'm desperate,...I have tried and search a lot, no luck. Please help
Bit of a Background:
    Using a raspberry Pi 3, I develop a webcam streaming server as I don't want the ones available. With raspistill the fps is very low (4fps), that is why I look into v4l2 option for streaming the webcam. For this I output the mjpeg video into a pipe.
Reading from this pipe, the first jpeg image is shown, but consecutive reads return null.
To investigate this further I made a small demo program - same result.
Here the code I use:
Iterating 20 times reading from bufferedinputstream
private void standardRead()
    {
        BufferedInputStream bis = null;
        try {
            bis = new BufferedInputStream(new FileInputStream(new File(image_path)));

        } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

        System.out.println("Is mark supported? "+bis.markSupported());

        try {
            for(int i=0;i<20;i++)
            {
                readingImage(bis,i);
                TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.sleep(250);
            }

        } catch (IOException | InterruptedException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }

Read method (enhanced with some System.out)
private void readingImage(BufferedInputStream bis,int iteration) throws IOException
    {
        System.out.println("Available bytes to read:"+bis.available());
        System.out.println("Reading image"+iteration);

        BufferedImage read = ImageIO.read(bis);

        if(read!=null){
            System.out.println(read.getRGB(25, 25)+" h:"+read.getHeight());System.out.println();
        }else
        {
            System.out.println("image is null");
        }
        read = null;
    }

What I have already tried:
 - Creating a new BufferedInputStream for each iteration
 - Closing and creating  a new BufferedInputStream
 - Tried using mark and reset (no luck)
 - Reading from the stream using read instead of ImageIO (reads for ever obviously with about 20fps)
When I execute the program, v4l2 informs that frames are consumed, therefore the pipe is being emptied/read by the java program so new frames can be fed into it.
Only the first image and only during the first execution of the program gives me one image back. A second execution of the program gives null for the first image too.
Here an example output:
Is mark supported? true
Available bytes to read:65536
Reading image0
image is null
Available bytes to read:73720
Reading image1
image is null
Available bytes to read:73712
Reading image2
image is null
Available bytes to read:73704
Reading image3
image is null
Available bytes to read:73696
Reading image4
image is null
Available bytes to read:73688
Reading image5
image is null

One note, if any helpful. For the ImageIO.read(InputStream) function, Java doc states something strange which I can't understand:

(...) The InputStream is wrapped in an ImageInputStream. If no
  registered ImageReader claims to be able to read the resulting stream,
  null is returned (...)

Thanks in advance for your help and advice.

A: One sleepless night later, I got something working.
Eureka: I stream 1000 frames using v4l2 library into a linux pipe and can read all 1000 frames. With saving each file to a directory it takes about 103 seconds aka 10fps. No single frame skipped.
Here is how:
private void ReadImages(File path)
    {
        BufferedInputStream bis = null;
        int index = 0;

        ImageReader reader = null;

            try {
                bis = new BufferedInputStream(new FileInputStream(path));
                ImageInputStream stream = ImageIO.createImageInputStream(bis);

                while(bis.available()>0)
                {
                    if(gotReader(stream))
                    {
                        reader = ImageIO.getImageReaders(stream).next();
                        reader.setInput(stream);
                        BufferedImage read = reader.read(index);
                        System.out.println("Image height"+read.getHeight() +" image width:"+read.getWidth()) ;

                        stream.flush();
                    index = 0;
                    }

                }
            } catch (IOException e) {
                System.err.println(e.getMessage());
                //e.printStackTrace();
            }
    }

Tip: flush the stream frequently and reset the index. Without flushing the growing memory breaks the performance dramatically.
Tip: Standard ImageIO does not read BGR3, RGB3,YU12,YUYV,YV12,YVYU but H264 and MJPEG
Tip: Reader is tested with
if(ImageIO.getImageReaders(stream).hasNext())

Sara Ferry: A new generation works to fulfill the promise of nuclear energy

The world of nuclear technology is in a generational transition. Many nuclear engineers and scientists were trained between the 1950s and 1970s, but entry to the field slowed in subsequent decades; NSE PhD student Sara Ferry is part of a new cadre of technologists who are working to fulfill the promise of nuclear energy in a world very different from that of their predecessors.
Ferry, who earned her SB in 2011 in physics and nuclear science and engineering with a minor in French, has made nuclear metallurgy a primary focus of her work. Her research at the Institute's Uhlig Corrosion Laboratory involves "very broad analysis of atmospheric corrosion effects on stainless steel welds, with particular emphasis on stress corrosion cracking (SCC)."
Video: A new generation works to fulfill the promise of nuclear energy
The driver, explains Ferry, is the need for longer-than-anticipated on-site storage of used nuclear fuel, due to the difficulties of starting up a centralized national storage facility. "A lot of interim storage will have to be used for a lot longer than expected," she explains. "The evidence is that it won't be a huge problem, but research hasn't been done into how stainless steel storage containers will behave over an extra 50 years beyond their initial 40-year design life. We know how SCC works, but we have to look at every on-site storage facility in the country — what are conditions like, what's in the air, especially in particularly humid and coastal environments."
While there are existing models for how the stainless canisters behave over time, they are general and have large uncertainties. Ferry says she and her colleagues will "develop a very rigorous probabilistic model that will, given a particular type of canister in a particular type of environment, be able to estimate with reduced uncertainty how long it will take for SCC to become an issue. It sounds straightforward, but a lot of issues come in."

On 15 March 2019, the Protected Zone Joint Authority (PZJA) agreed to a revised total allowable catch (TAC) of 408.6375 tonnes for Australian boats in the Australian waters of the Torres Strait Tropical Rock Lobster Fishery (TRL Fishery) for the 2018-19 fishing season.
The TAC share for the Traditional Inhabitant Boat (TIB) sector, under a revised TAC of 408.6375 tonnes, will be 270.395 tonnes (66.17 per cent share of the TAC). The TAC for the TIB sector is exclusively available to all TIB licence holders.
The TAC share for the Transferable Vessel Holder (TVH) sector, under a revised TAC of 408.6375 tonnes, will be 138.242 tonnes (33.83 per cent share of the TAC). The TAC for the TVH sector will be individually apportioned to TVH licence holders, through revised licence conditions, in accordance with individual provisional allocation notices of October 2007.
Further details regarding the revised TAC are provided in a letter to all TRL licence holders issued on 18 March 2019.
View the latest TRL Fishery Catch Watch Report March 2019.
For the 2018-19 fishing season (starting 1 December 2018) separate Traditional and non-traditional shares of the total allowable catch (TAC) will be implemented.

The Torres Strait Tropical Rock Lobster Fishery is the second most valuable commercial fishery in Torres Strait and very important to many Torres Strait Islanders.
The fishery is based on a single species, the ornate or tropical rock lobster (Panulirus ornatus).
Tropical Rock Lobsters (TRL) are taken by hand or a short hand spear by divers working from dinghies. Most divers free dive on shallow reef tops but others use hookah (surface supplied air) to dive the large areas of open bottom in Torres Strait. Most fishing occurs during neap tides when currents ease and underwater visibility improves. The commercial fishing season is from 1 December to 30 September the following year (inclusive), with a peak in fishing occurring during March to August.
Papua New Guinea (under cross-endorsements).
Optimise the value of the fishery.
Growth in the Torres Strait TRL Fishery is limited to Traditional Inhabitants of the Torres Strait so as to maximise their economic development and employment opportunities.
In support of this, the PZJA has introduced licensing restrictions that prevent growth within the non-Islander sector, both in terms of fishing capacity (boat replacement policy) and the containment of licence numbers.
There is also a ban on trawlers taking lobster to prevent pressure on the lobster resource from the prawn trawling fleet.
Most of the management arrangements are outlined in Fisheries Management Notice No. 80 and include size restrictions, closed seasons, gear restrictions and bag limits. These are detailed below.
a prohibition to process or carry tropical rock lobster meat that has been removed from any part of a tropical rock lobster on any boat.
Stock assessment modelling indicates that the population of TRL naturally fluctuates from year to year however the stocks within the Torres Strait Protected Zone are currently not considered to be overfished.
Since 2006 a preliminary Total Allowable Catch (TAC) has been estimated to gauge the performance of the fishery and actual catch has not exceeded the preliminary TAC.
As at 30 June 2010, 289 Traditional Inhabitant boat licenses with TRL entries were active in the fishery and 13 non-Traditional Inhabitants licensed to fish in the fishery. Six PNG cross-endorsements were also issued to PNG commercial fishers to fish in the TRL Fishery during 2010.
The Torres Strait Tropical Rock Lobster Fishery was strategically assessed under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 in 2017 and accredited as a Wildlife Trade Operation for three years.
The Department of Environment and Energy also provided a number of recommendations to improve the sustainability of the fishery. The export accreditation is valid until 18 December 2020 at which time the fishery will be re-assessed.

ARC Review--The Immortal Throne by Bree Despain
In the final installment of the Into the Dark trilogy, Haden and Daphne are stuck in separate realms, racing time to save each other and fulfill their destinies before the monstrous Keres destroys everything they know.
I received this eARC from the publisher via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. I was in no way compensated for this review.
You guys cannot believe how happy I am that this book exists!! When Egmont USA closed their doors, I felt sadness all around! For all the authors, all the books, but what came to my mind first among all these, was Bree Despain's Into the Dark trilogy! I had read The Eternity Key as an ARC and was left shrieking at its ending and then I was shrieking again when I heard the Egmont news. I was once again thrust into the terrible bubble where I am left in a world where yet another series is left hanging with no finale in sight. But thankfully, the story ends happily--the one where we get The Immortal Throne!!! HURRAH!!
I only had the vaguest recollection of what had happened last go around since I read that one early too, but even the vagueness is better than nothing! I felt so passionate about this series because I've adored mythology ever since my unit of it in seventh grade. We won't say what year that is, but yeah...it's been awhile! LOL! And I pretty much loved this series since its first book! With the first cover too! LOL! Sorry, I'm giddy with happiness over this book! Its existence and, its ending! It was perfect!!
We once again get multiple points of view, which I am always up for because I love getting inside the different character's heads. The short recap of things is that Daphne is Garrick's prisoner and he's now the ruler of the Underrealm while Haden has been banished back to earth and is still poisoned, if he doesn't get Daphne's kiss of true love, he'll die. So things are pretty intense and the poison is reacting faster in Haden and is basically killing him all the faster. Daphne must figure out a way to find the Key that she lost earlier and in order to do that she has to get Garrick to let her out of her prison room.
And so begins the intense adventure! It's very intense because we know that Haden's time is limited. If it wasn't for Jonathan, he would be in worse shape. And of course, there's all his and Daphne's friends as well! They are such a widespread group! I love them all!! Though the time away did make it hard for me to remember all of them and their stories, but I knew that I loved them all, and really it was like getting to know them all over again!
Not only are we pining away for Daphne and Haden to reunite, but there's also the very real danger that Garrick represents. When the shocking reveal of his character came about at the end I was left shocked and stunned! The shocks and chills only continue as more of his character is revealed! He is one baddie!!
There was also a new character added to the throng and I must say I was quite surprised by this one! It was a sentient Shade! I mean I remember the Shades being like uber zombies, but this one was quite cognizant! And quite a catch in the scheme of things, I'm not saying that like a love interest thing, but just that I was expecting a Shade to be quite so human like when Daphne encountered him. And That's all I shall say on the matter!
I think one of my very few complaints was that Daphne and Haden were separated for so long! I mean, I get it in a sense, they're struggling to find each other again and then you know, save the world and such. But agh! It killed me to see them apart for so long! And to think, I was never much for romance until I started reading more and more!
The ending was quite good here too! Phenomenal even! It's the kind of ending that always makes me happy to see at the end of a series! It's one where you get a nice conclusion and yet, you feel like the characters will still be having their adventures and whatnot after the last page is turned. Sure, I'm saddened by the fact that I won't be there for those adventures, but I always kind of love knowing they are going in the right direction, the direction they want to be in and such.
The Immortal Throne is an incredibly fantastic read that was everything I could have hoped for and more! I loved seeing where all the characters ended, both good and bad. It's the most perfectly right way to end an amazing series! I am so thrilled to have been apart of reading this one and so unbelievably thrilled that this book is in the world!! If you're a fan of the Greek myths and retellings, then I highly HIGHLY recommend reading this one! It's got a different spin to things and isn't your straight up retelling. It kind of stands on its own in the retelling world, which makes it all the more beautiful!

New cut level set for Fort Nelson Timber Supply Area
by admin|Published July 16, 2019
Effective July 16, the new allowable annual cut (AAC) for the Fort Nelson Timber Supply Area (TSA) is 2,582,350 cubic metres, announced Shane Berg, deputy chief forester.
The new AAC is a 59 per cent increase from the previous allowable annual cut of 1,625,000 cubic metres set in 2006 and includes partitions to encourage an expansion of forestry opportunities in the northwest portion of the TSA and promote a return to harvesting the deciduous timber profile.
"The Fort Nelson TSA contains a vast area of mature deciduous stands," said Berg. "I am confident that my decision will encourage forestry opportunities for First Nations and other operators, while maintaining responsible management of biodiversity objectives."
The new cut level includes three partitions:
* 200,000 cubic metres to be harvested from the northwest portion of the TSA;
* 1,469,410 cubic metres from deciduous volume in the rest of the TSA; and
* 912,940 cubic metres from coniferous volume in the rest of the TSA.
The Fort Nelson TSA covers nearly 9.9 million hectares in the northeast corner of the province, with almost 631,000 hectares available for timber harvesting.
Wildlife in the TSA, including boreal caribou, northern caribou and Stone's sheep, are protected by ungulate winter ranges and wildlife habitat areas. In addition, the western portion of the TSA overlaps with the Muskwa-Kechika Management Area, which supports a diverse range of large mammals. The Fort Nelson TSA does not include southern mountain caribou.
Fort Nelson is the major community in the TSA and there are a number of smaller settlements adjacent to the Alaska Highway, including Prophet River, Toad River, Muncho Lake, Lower Post, Coal River and Fireside.
The dominant tree species are aspen, white spruce and pine.
Nine First Nations reside in, or have traditional territory within, the Fort Nelson TSA, including Fort Nelson First Nation, Prophet River First Nation, Dene Tha' First Nation, Halfway River First Nation, Doig River First Nation, Acho Dene Koe First Nation, Daylu Dena Council represented by Kaska-Dena Council, Liard First Nation and the Tahltan Nation.
* The deputy chief forester's allowable annual cut determination is an independent, professional judgment based on information ranging from technical forestry reports, First Nations and public input to the government's social and economic goals.
* Under the Forest Act, the chief forester must determine the allowable annual cut in each of the province's 37 timber supply areas and 34 tree farm licences at least once every 10 years.


Are You Prepared for Changes To Overtime Exemptions? | Ali Law Group, P.C.
Are You Prepared for Changes To Overtime Exemptions?
The DOL has proposed raising the minimum salary for an exempt worker to $970 per week ($50,440 per year), from the current minimum threshold of $455 per week ($23,660 per year). The New York state salary threshold would therefore also rise to that level, up from $675 per week.
The DOL is also proposing to raise the "highly compensated exemption" minimum salary threshold from $100,000 to $122,148.
1. Determine how many of your employees are currently exempt and earning less than $970 per week.
2. Examine how many hours per week those employees are working.
3. If you don't have records of those employees' hours, have the employees begin to complete daily timesheets.
4. For employees that are currently exempt and earning less than $970 per week, establish an hourly rate, such that the hourly rate will result in comparable pay to what the employee is currently earning. In other words, if an employee is earning a $45,000 salary, set their hourly rate so that their first 40 hours of work plus anticipated overtime will equal approximately $45,000.
5. For employees that are on the cusp of $970 a week, consider raising them to $970 per week and demanding more of them (because they are being paid more).
6. Determine how many of your employees are currently subject to the "highly compensated employee" exemption but are making less than $122,148 per year.
Determine whether to (a) raise the employees' salaries to $122,148 per year; (b) pay them by the hour with overtime; or (c) restructure their jobs with added exempt duties so that they fit within another exemption, such as the executive or administrative exemption, where the minimum salary threshold will be $50,440 per year.
The Ali Law Group is available to help you proactively address these potential changes and stay compliant with the ever changing landscape.

Through 'Empowering Berna' project, "Merck More than a Mother" empowers infertile women socially and economically.
"Merck More than a Mother" aims to improve access to information, education, healthcare and change of mind-set to break the stigma around infertility.
Kampala, Uganda, February 27, 2017 – Merck, a leading science and technology company, today continues their commitment for the second year to empower infertile women in Uganda through improving access to information, health, change of mind-set and economic empowerment.
Through "Empowering Berna", Merck in partnership with Uganda Ministry of Health inaugurates today small businesses that been established this year to support infertile women across the country.
Courtesy call on Uganda's First Lady: From left to right: Hon. Sarah Opendi, Minister of State for Health, Uganda; Hon.

VirginieBaiokua, Minister of Social Affairs and National Reconciliation, Central African Republic; Hon. Zuliatu Cooper, Deputy Minister of Health and Sanitation, Sierra Leone and Lina Ekomo, Central African Republic.
The day's program also included a courtesy visit to Uganda's First Lady H.E. Janet Museveni at State House,Kampala by the Merck delegation to brief her on the "Merck More than a Mother" initiative and to explore possible areas of collaboration. The delegation consisted of H.E. Madame Brigitte Touadera, First Lady, Central African Republic; Sarah Opendi, Minister of State for Health, Uganda; Belen Garijo, CEO, Merck Healthcare; Virginie Baiokua, Minister of Social Affairs and National Reconciliation, Central African Republic; Zuliatu Cooper, Deputy Minister of Health and Sanitation, Sierra Leone; Joyce Lay, Member of Parliament, Kenya; Dr. Rasha Kelej, Chief Social Officer, Merck Healthcare; and Lina Ekomo, Central African Republic.

Zuliatu Cooper, Deputy Minister of Health and Sanitation, Sierra Leone and Hon. VirginieBaiokua (2nd row center), Minister of Social Affairs and National Reconciliation, Central African Republic.
"In Africa including Uganda, infertile women still suffer discrimination, stigma and ostracism. More often an inability to have a child or to become pregnant results in the woman being greatly isolated, disinherited or assaulted. This sometimes also results in divorce or physical and psychological violence. I am glad to see an initiative that addresses this challenge in the public domain in Africa as it is something that no one talks about and is treated as secret. "Merck More than a Mother" is therefore very important for Africa since it aims to define interventions to reduce the stigma and social suffering of infertile women across the continent," said, Sarah Opendi, Minister of State of Health, Uganda.

According to the World Health Organization(WHO), lower levels of development are thought to be associated with higher levels of non-genetic and preventable causes of infertility such as poor nutrition, untreated sexually transmitted infections (STIs), unsafe abortion, consequence of infections caused by the practice of female genital mutilation, exposure to smoking and to leaded petrol and other environmental pollutants. Hence prevention awareness is very important," Sarah Opendi added.

XKL revamps product line
OCTOBER 15, 2008 � XKL LLC, a provider of enterprise network equipment, today unveiled DarkStar as the new name for its line of fiber-optic communications equipment, including the company's flagship DXM Optical Transport Terminal.
OCTOBER 15, 2008 � XKL LLC (search for XKL), a provider of enterprise network equipment, today unveiled DarkStar as the new name for its line of fiber-optic communications equipment, including the company's flagship DXM Optical Transport Terminal.
In addition to the new family name, XKL has refined the overall packaging and will roll out its newest version of the product lines' operating system (DXMOS 2.0). This newest revision of DXMOS enhances system security, improves management, and adds support for upcoming DarkStar products.
Led by Cisco Systems co-founder Len Bosack, XKL develops technology designed to enable corporations and institutions to deploy and manage their own fiber-optic communications network and bypass expensive service from traditional telecommunications providers. The DarkStar optical transport system offers unparalleled ease-of-deployment and management of powerful enterprise fiber networks using compact, energy efficient, and highly integrated components, XKL asserts.
"The objective for DarkStar is to light dark fiber," says Bosack. "With DarkStar, we want corporations to realize an economical explosion in bandwidth available to them by building their own fiber-optic communications network."
According to XKL, the DarkStar architecture provides optical transport with an easy-to-use, router-like management structure. This includes well-known standards such as a familiar command line interface, SNMP, and an independent TCP/IP management network. As a result, the DarkStar can be quickly deployed, scaled, and managed without employing trained optical engineers or bearing a large support contract, the company adds. Users simply install it in a rack, make the proper connections, and realize carrier-class fiber optic communications, XKL says.

Q: Exception in setDataSource() method in MediaPlayer Android My Mp3 app has 2 intents. The code is for the 2nd Intent.
In the previous Intent of my Mp3 app, all the available songs are displayed in the ListView and their paths are saved in ArrayList. The previous Intent searches a song, add it's path in the ArrayList and then searches for the next song and so on. Then I am passing the whole ArrayList of paths and position of the song in the ListView to use it as the index for ArrayList fp in the 2nd intent.
This program (i.e. the 2nd intent) extracts path of mp3 file and it's position in ListView from the Previous Intent. Now I'm facing problem of playing that song using MediaPlayer class. Exception has occurred in the setDataSource() method.
public class PlayerScreen extends AppCompatActivity {

private Intent intent;
private Bundle bndl;
private ArrayList<String> fp = new ArrayList<String>();
private int ps;
private MediaPlayer mp = new MediaPlayer();

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_player_screen);

    intent = this.getIntent();
    bndl = intent.getExtras();
    fp = bndl.getStringArrayList("path");
    ps = bndl.getInt("pos");
    File file = new File(fp.get(ps));
    mp = MediaPlayer.create(this, MediaStore.Audio.Media.getContentUriForPath(fp.get(ps)));
    FileInputStream inputStream = null;
    try {
        inputStream = new FileInputStream(file);
    } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
    try {
        mp.setDataSource(inputStream.getFD());
    } catch (IOException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
    try {
        mp.prepare();
    } catch (IOException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
    mp.start();
}
}

ABSTRACT DETERMINING THE DEPTH AND SPREADING OF SALT WATER AQUIFER AT NGAGLIK, SAMBI, BOYOLALI USING RESISTIVITY METHOD WITH DIPOLE-DIPOLE CONFIGURATION By HARIYADI M 0298039 Geophysics survey have been done at Ngaglik, Sambi, Boyolali in determining the depth and spreading of salt water aquifer. The equipment used in this survey is OYO McOHM-EL model 2119 C. This research used resistivity method with the Wenner configuration for mapping and dipole-dipole configuration for sounding. The mapping data was processed using a software surfer and the sounding data was processed using a software RES2DINV. The result of this research showed that the resistivity value of salt water aquifer is in the range of 0.1 – 1.0 Ωm and the depth is less than 10 m. It spreads about 60 m to the north from the source of salt water. This aquifer is predicted as a mixture with clay and surrounded by sand stone and clay stone.
