Effective immediately, Diane Nicholls, British Columbia's chief forester, has set a new allowable annual cut (AAC) level for Tree Farm Licence (TFL) 33.
The new AAC for TFL 33 is 23,160 cubic metres, an increase of approximately 10% from the previous AAC of 21,000 cubic metres, set in 2011. The increase reflects updates to the inventory information used in the analysis. This decision maintains a stable timber supply and accounts for forest health factors and the protection of non-timber values. This includes cultural resources, wildlife habitat and old-growth forest, and established land-use objectives.
There are several First Nations whose territory overlaps with TFL 33, including the Adams Lake Indian Band, Little Shuswap Lake Band, Neskonlith Indian Band and Splatsin Band. Prior to this determination, First Nations were consulted regarding the Information Package and Draft Management Plan, in accordance with current provincial guidance.
TFL 33 is held by Canoe Forest Products Ltd. and is located north of Sicamous along the eastern shore of Shuswap Lake. The total area of the TFL is 8,396 hectares, of which 6,712 hectares are available and suitable for timber harvesting. The forests are dominated by Douglas fir, western red cedar, western hemlock, spruce and subalpine fir.
The chief forester's AAC 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 AAC in each of the province's 37 timber supply areas and 34 tree farm licences at least once every 10 years.

Week and weekend in review, and I still can has no works.
Well, as hinted at in my last post, I returned back to Ottawa on Monday and dropped Jessica (samari76) off at the bus station, after a hell of an awesome weekend. She came up to cellebrate the thanks giving weekend with me and the family, and we all seemed to rather enjoy ourselves. Mom's dinner selections were, as usual, absolutely perfect. The girl loves to cook, and it more than definitely shows. Other than that, the weekend was pretty well spent relaxing, introducing Jessica to more of my family, and just enjoying spending time with her. She loves my family, and I can tell just by watching them around her they feel the same way. Now, we're sort of talking about me going the other direction for her thanks giving, if I can figure out what the hell I'm doing so far as employment, or a possible living situation should the employment question not be answered. But in the meantime, the weekend was loads of fun, and I'd do it again in a heartbeat.
Speaking of the whole employment thing, I found a couple more jobs to apply for over the last couple days, and they've subsequently been all kinds of fired applications. I don't know if I'll hear anything from them, but hey, I haven't called it quits. Which says something right there, I dare say. Of course it's entirely likely I'll wind up doing a sales-related gig (*gag cringe die*), but at the moment, it'd still be better than the already impressive $0/hour I'm getting now. Now, here's hoping it actually winds up happening. I'd hate to have an excuse to go postal on the job market.


I love photographing events, whether it is weddings, birthdays, family gatherings or christenings. I strive to capture the emotion of the day in a set of beautiful, timeless and candid photographs which you and your family can look back on in years to come.
I photographed little B's christening service a couple of months ago at St Michael and All Angels church in Chiswick. It was a beautiful service, with family and friends singing together with the minister, and children gathering around little B's pushchair. It felt very personal, and very intimate. Following the service, family and friends gathered for some drinks, food and cake.
I worked using documentary-style photography to capture the afternoon unfold, and combined wide angle shots to give the service a sense of scale and place, together with tighter framing to show detail and emotion. As Surrey christening photographer, I work across Surrey, West Sussex and London to photograph baptism or christening services.
If you are planning your child's christening or baptism, and you are considering hiring a professional photographer, please get in touch to discuss your ideas and options. I would love to hear from you!


My punishment has been started, but it isn't quite finished yet, so it will either be up later this week or next Tuesday.
Recently I have been having a lot of anxiety. I've had issues with anxiety for a while, almost 2 years, but I've been having more of it recently and it's really no fun.
If you're unfamiliar with anxiety/panic attacks and the differences between the two, I will teach you. Anxiety (or generalized anxiety) is a low level of almost constant fear and worry over things that don't necessarily need to be worried about. Panic attacks are short bursts of intense feelings of anxiety usually triggered by something (although sometimes not, as most of mine happen in my sleep, waking me up in a lovely way *angry face*). The two together are really no fun.
I think that since they have been getting a lot worse, I should probably do something about it, so I'm working on a few lifestyle and schedule changes, and I'm really hoping they work out. I will keep you updated on that and you can expect my finished paint post punishment (yes I'm making a post in paint) next week.

Can You Pass The Online Gaming Test?
You are the proud owner of a PlayStation 4 or PS4 Pro , or getting one soon.

In comparison, 2018 doesn't always have quite a lot of hotly-anticipated games. But whilst the year attracts to a detailed, it is the right time to look forward to the games which have FUN88 MOBILE been guaranteed for 2018. Umiro – Umiro is another upcoming Android game by DeveloperDigital, the creators of one of the greatest card games(Reigns). Though it fits the simulation category well, the overall game makes players play as a plague.
This colourful team-based shooter is certainly one of our favourite multiplayer games, and will provide months of fun.

When they spend a lot of time in every one genre — like RPGs, puzzle games, etc.
Overcooked is a recipe for delicious, nutritious enjoyable – if you've got a minumum of one other person to chow down with, which. The frantic cooking simulator tasks two to four players with planning meals for hungry clients, and you will quickly realize that's a great deal harder than it first noises.
If you value to try out automobile racing game in your Android os devices you will find GT race addictive. This game is delayed multiple times and seen several interior issues regarding its online functionality, however, if anyone can fix that, it is Terry Crews.

Role Playing games are funny things. This site aims to steer visitors regarding most useful esports games in 2018, understanding how it works and exactly why they are popular, plus the upcoming esports games that may make it big in 2010.

All the games we evaluated are free2play: you'll play 100% free without time restrictions, utilizing the possibility to help make acquisitions within the game. Even better: You also have all extra content that arrived on the scene after release, and a huge upgrade towards visuals that befit a fresh game in 2018.
2nd into the list is little Heroes which can be a Massively multiplayer on line role-playing (MMORPG) game played in 8-bit & 16-bit. All at once the past, present and future of this grand old game series smashes together in a freewheeling, spectacular and experimental set piece that displays that Nintendo, after many years of getting the handbrake on, has become absolutely traveling artistically.
After a bit of research, I finally came up with a list of top no wifi games that you can download in your smartphones. Only the most readily useful online games find a way to reach 1st places of the classifications, to help you make certain that they'll certainly be well worth your time. Total War Arena will merge an on-line RTS genre with some MOBA too in which players take control of one fo ten factions while they pit on their own against other players on the web with a huge selection of soldiers under their command.

There are many best offline android games which is often challenging and relaxing as well.
You are able to play making use of two various TVs in a singular location, or using the split-screen feature on a single TV. Though many modern games don't support local multiplayer, as it can M88 certainly consume a lot of processing capacity to make a game twice over on one display screen, Nintendo continues to follow this option, making them perfect for neighborhood video gaming.
Might appear redundant to a lot of individuals, nevertheless the core game play mechanics are not so difficult to actually keep everybody else hooked. Certain, it might perhaps not provide you with the sense of in fact tossing paper in to the basket but the game play is fun and casual sufficient. If narrative in your card games isn't your cup tea, additionally a Battle Mode which you are able to challenge your pals, a four-player Two-Headed Giant battle and also an offline solamente mode you can use for training against AI.

Russia: Chechen Leader Sees More International Support
January 01, 2000 00:00 GMT
Washington, 18 January 2000 (RFE/RL) - A Chechen independence advocate says he believes the international community is becoming skeptical of Russian objectives in Moscow's military campaign against Chechen separatists. Russia views the Chechen fighters as terrorists. However, Ilyas Akhmadov -- Chechnya's self-proclaimed foreign minister -- says the international community is increasingly concerned that Russian tactics are aimed at wiping out civilians as much as armed rebels. Akhmadov spoke at a Washington briefing today that was sponsored by Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty. He has spoken to a number of Washington organizations over the past two weeks in an effort to present what he says is the truth about the situation in Chechnya. He had sought a meeting with a senior U.S. State Department official. The U.S. however, reiterated that it does not recognize a Chechen government. It sent a staff member from its Russian Desk to meet Akhmadov at a Washington hotel last week, and officials made clear that the U.S. viewed Akhmadov as a Russian citizen, not a diplomat. Akhmadov said today he understood the U.S. approach because of what he jokingly referred to as Chechnya's scandalous and difficult status.

About Proyecto Tití > History
As a graduate student at the University of Wisconsin, Anne Savage had a dream of starting the first conservation program for cotton-top tamarins in Colombia. As a student of Dr. Charles Snowdon, she began to realize her dream by starting the first long-term field research program in Colombia in 1987. She began her studies of cotton-top tamarins in Colosó, at INDERENA's primate field station Proyecto Primates. While important long-term field data was collected for the first time on cotton-top tamarins, it became apparent to Anne that scientific studies alone were not sufficient to save cotton-top tamarins. If conservation efforts to save cotton-top tamarins from extinction were going to be successful, she needed to involve local communities who were directly responsible for competing for the same resources that cotton-tops needed for survival and she needed to find leaders in Colombia that would champion this cause.
The first informal education programs began in 1987 as children from the local school in Colosó received their first information about the importance of saving cotton-tops and how they could help. Anne led field trips to the field station and to the forest to meet the cotton-tops and the students could see first-hand how important it was to was to protect the forests for these amazing animals. As Anne taught the children about conservation, she also recognized the need to help people reduce the amount of forest resources that were consumed leading to our commitment to creating sustainable alternatives for communities. Our first program to reduce the use of firewood by using bindes, small cook stoves made from clay was launched and today our programs have grown to incorporate a variety of methods to engage communities in efforts to reduce their impacts on the surrounding forests.
Anne recruited several Colombian biologists, most notably Luis Soto who continues to work with Proyecto Titi today and worked to build a team of Colombians leaders, biologists, educators, and influencers that would go on to lead one of Colombia's most successful and influential conservation programs for cotton-top tamarins. In 1999, we moved our field program to Santa Catalina and worked in close partnership with many communities in the departments of Atlántico and Bolivar as our education and community programs continued to grow and prosper. Partnerships were developed with several organizations in Colombia until we formed our US 501c3 Proyecto Titi, Inc in 2004 with Dr. Anne Savage as Executive Director. Our quest to find a leader who could create our Colombian non-profit organization, Fundación Proyecto Tití, and lead this organization into the next phase of major growth was achieved when we met Rosamira Guillen, the former director of the Barranquilla Zoo. In 2005, Rosamira joined our team as the Executive Director of Fundación Proyecto Tití and has been responsible for the impressive growth of our programs and national and international recognition Proyecto Tití has garnered over the years for our efforts to protect cotton-top tamarins. Under Rosamira's direction, Proyecto Tití's education programs have expanded to more communities. In addition, new community initiatives have been launched, scientific research has been used to influence Colombian conservation policy, new partnerships have been created with organizations in Colombia, and habitat protection and forest restoration has become an important aspect of the long-term success of conservation efforts for cotton-top tamarins.


One of the most obvious advantages of having interior double French doors in any home is the fact that they will significantly improve the aesthetics of the room. Highly remarked for their beauty, internal French doors can be both functional as well as ornamental. Although French doors are usually installed externally at the front, back or as patio doors, they are also ideal for use in the interior of your home. These doors may also be chosen in order to suit your furnishing and make a statement of luxury in the rooms.
A perfect addition to any house would be French doors with sidelights. These may be installed between your formal dining room and kitchen, or master bedroom and master bath, as well as for the aperture to the den or home office area. Most of these double doors with side panels are manufactured from light wood with glass panels and can be ordered as pre-hung door set for hassle-free installation.
For something a bit more decorative, opt for decorative panels with grooves or made from exclusive veneers that can easily integrate any glazing that allow the light to penetrate through. Because of the versatility of interior double French doors, going for this look can significantly improve any section of your home by giving it a very rich and luxurious look.
The wooden bifold doors offer a fully retractable system which can be manufactured as wide as the customer needs, within some technical boundaries. A Bifold door is not only regular panels put together; it is a whole system where design, engineering accuracy and choice of hardware plays an essential in the door's looks and performance just as much as the bifold door fitting does. For the German factory not only the design and looks of the panels are important. The essential point is the hardware used to ensure the functionality and a life lasting product manufactured especially for our customers. To put together a bifold system, the engineers choose to use high-end TECTUS hidden hinges with a load capacity of 80Kg and a sliding system that ensures a smooth closing and opening process.
For an exclusive and luxurious look, wooden bifold doors supplied by Doors4UK are top hung so the full opening can be used without the impediment of a threshold which can collect dust and damage the flooring and in the end can create problems in the sliding process.
Internal pocket doors are the best solution when it comes to small areas that require privacy. Thus, they are suitable for small apartments, studio flats, as well as for wardrobes or closets.

Passwords are broken. Inspired by Justin Balthrop's article Passwords are Obsolete token-based one-time password (OTPW) authentication is faster to deploy, better for your users, and more secure.
So I started wondering - what if we just created a real user for every person who visited the site? Django already has support for creating users with unusable passwords - so if we just create a user with an unusable password every time a new person comes along, log them in, and then at some future point (presumably once they've fallen in love with your site) they can set themselves up with a real username and password. And as a bonus, all that data that they created while messing about with the site sticks around, and carries over into their 'real' user.
"A clean, simple, and unobtrusive ruby authentication solution."
"Google and Yahoo! (and likely Microsoft to follow) are ultimately competing with one another to become the branded single sign-on solution for the web. The good news for users is that by using the same underlying technology, most relying parties will able to turn on support for any new OpenID provider fairly easily. The bad news for users is that since none of the major providers are also relying parties, using services at each of these site still requires multiple accounts. Further, a sign in box with 100 different logos for 100 different providers isn't a great user experience."
"What if you could say, "by default, trust whatever my buddy Pete trusts"? Or, "trust the consensus of my set of friends; only ask me if there's disagreement"? Or more prosaically, "trust what my local IT department says"."
"This document defines an XMPP protocol extension that enables verification of an HTTP request via XMPP."
"To maintain a high level of security, the Authentication Proxy interface, AuthSub, enables the application to get an authentication token without ever handling the user's account login information."
"Wouldn't it be great if you could use the same account to log in to multiple sites and applications, without having to trust them all with your password?"
"This document specifies an HTTP authentication scheme based on cryptographic hashes."
"A few months ago a fellow named Jean-Michel Hiver posted that you could in fact do a clean and modern log-in browser interface using only AJAX methods."

Nagalla deriva da palavra, obviamente, no Galáctico Original, da palavra Estrela. Nagalla é uma anã amarela com nove planetas, sendo alguns deles gasosos e outros telúricos. Todos os derivados ou gasosos tem seu nome inciado pela letra E - com som de T no Galáctico Original e com som de V no Galáctico Padrão. Lembrando que as designações são usadas por astrônomos e não tem valor real na designação popular.
Nagalla será destruída, ou melhor, explodirá dentro de 9 bilhões de anos, talvez antes pelas correntes de carbono que afetam a estrela, talvez depois pelas correntes de hélio que vem carregando a estrela na medida que seu combustível acaba.

I made this ballpoint pen using a high quality print of the new Wonder Woman design. Looks like the recent movie Justice League where Wonder Woman was one of the star Super Heroes. The profession photo is applied to the center support tube and then cast in clear resin. On a lathe I shape, sand and polish the resin to preserve and protect the image.


Don't worry it does not affect anything. Exclamation sign just means you uploaded custom build, but could also be that someone forgot to sign firmware (afaik was the case) with release, check wiki. I build myself so I always have this sign.
This is a know issue, as displayed close to the download link.


At the end of a tenancy or residency, discuss with the tenant or resident how the bond money is to be divided. This discussion may include resolving issues that arise from the tenancy, such as any damage to the property or rent owing.
The agreed division of the bond should be set out on the completed Bond Claim form. This form should be sent to the Residential Tenancies Bond Authority (RTBA) as soon as possible after the tenancy or residency ends. The Bond Claim form can be submitted via the RTBA online website.
It is an offence to request or obtain a tenant's signature on a bond claim form that does not specify the amount of bond to be refunded and the distribution of that amount.
A Bond Claim form must not be signed by the tenant or resident more than seven days before they leave the property.
Note: As each bond form has a unique number, blank downloadable forms cannot be provided. The RTBA no longer provides pre-printed forms for licensed estate agents or property managers. Bond Claim forms are available on the RTBA Online website.
Once signed by both parties, the Bond Claim form must be sent to the RTBA without delay.
The RTBA holds all Victorian residential tenancy bonds, including those on rented premises, long-term caravans, rooming houses (buildings where one or more rooms are available to rent, and four or more people in total can occupy those rooms) and sites under site agreements.
To release or claim a bond, visit the RTBA Online website. Ensure pop ups are enabled on your web browser; otherwise you will not be able to generate the Bond Claim form.
When can I claim all/a portion of the bond?
items that were part of the tenancy agreement are missing.
If you and your tenant or resident cannot agree on the division of the bond, you may need to apply to the Residential Tenancies List of the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal (VCAT). VCAT will hear the case and make a decision on how the bond will be divided.
You must make a claim on part or all of the bond to VCAT within 10 business days of you becoming aware of the tenant or resident leaving the premises.
