 the remaining industry base will not be enough to meet forecast North American market demand. In aggregate, reductions in B.C. SPF lumber production after 2015 will contribute to a massive drop in Canada's U.S. softwood lumber market share by the end of the decade. Much higher product prices may, however, further stimulate more harvesting and output at remaining B.C. mills and potentially in those areas where a timber surplus exists.
With the impacts of the MPB now being felt locally in many communities, options to mitigate the forecast reduction in the AAC are being actively investigated by the provincial government, some of which may hold promise in some regions. However, this move is already under public scrutiny and resistance is mounting as it looks at areas previously outside the traditional timber harvesting land base. Such opportunities may not be available in all regions, so the most at-risk regions are expected to see continued capacity curtailment as the economics of some of this potential new incremental timber supply may not be supported in the face of global market prices.
The MPB epidemic is responsible for one of the largest natural environmental catastrophes and could eventually kill up to 58% or 788 million m3 of pine on the B.C. Crown timber harvesting land base. MPB is endemic to parts of Western North American and it is normally kept in check by periodic, sustained cold winter weather (-30C). Without sustained cold winter temperatures since about 1995, the MPB has devastated the pine forests of the Province of British Columbia (as well as many other regions in the U.S. West). The B.C. Interior is one of the world's largest lumber, pulp and wood products producing and exporting regions.
There virtual representations in an Internet-like structure.(Internet of Things)
- Personally, I think the best definition was giving by SAP AG : A world where physical objects are seamlessly integrated into the information network, and where the physical objects can become active participants in business processes. Services are available to interact with these ‘smart objects’ over the Internet, query and change their state and any information associated with them, taking into account security and privacy issues.
Note: I would also like to highlight that IoT is relatively new and the definition is growing and evolving as I write this. So, maybe we got to wait and see how people will define it in another 10 years.
This particular info graphics answers all your questions very well: (credit: postscapes-harbor-iot-infographics.jpg)
Nowadays, IoT has become one of the most discussed topics, both in workplace and outside of it. This is because the concept has the potential to impact how we live and work. Surprisingly, some of the people are still not aware of what exactly IoT is.
AdvertisementsIt was a nice spring day. I was walking with my friends to go fishing. We walked to the spot and The water was super high So I knew that we were going to catch something but I didn’t know that something would come as quickly as it did.
It being the first day of the season none of our roads were hooked up yet so we had to do that before we started casting. I had broken my last summer by fishing and vermont and I never remembered to buy a new one so I had to use my dads (Of course now I do have my new rod) but because it was my dad’s I was unfamiliar with it. But still I put the hook and lure on and was ready to fish.
At first I wasn’t fishing because there were 6 of us at the spot and only enough space for 2 of us to cast so I just sat back and talked to my friends. They weren’t getting many bits so I decided to move downstream.
The walk down to the spot I was thinking of fishing at was not very far so it was a quick walk. Tyler came with me but stopped about half way to fish at another spot, but I kept walking to my spot. When I got there I saw a big rock so I decided to cast off of that.
I got up on the rock, flipped my reel and cast my line into the water. I heard the splash and instantly felt a fish bite, nothing was on yet but I knew there was an interesting fish. I started reeling in and then “BAM” I had a fish on, I started reeling in and saw it was a bass. I got it to land and started yelling for everyone. The fish was about a foot long and was probably 4-5 pounds. I was,mlpokijnmb so ecstatic because it was my first catch of the season along with everybody else. I saw Liam sprinting in and then I also saw Liam wipe out. Liam got the pliers to cut the line because the hook was way too far into the fish’s mouth for us to be able to get it out. While Liam was cutting the line and everybody else was running over I called my dad and the conversation went pretty much like this.
After I called my dad I saw Christian and Tyler running toward me and Liam to look At the fish. While all this was happening Justin and Jack arrived from the hill to get down to the fishing area. They were a little bit late because they started biking late. When they saw the fish they got pretty hype. We were all pretty excited and thought we would catch more, but unfortunately we didn’t but we did encounter these highschoolers.
We kept fishing when we saw these people hiding behind trees. At first we thought it was a friend but when we tried to go talk to them they started running at us and shooting us with gel guns. We ran as fast as we could out of there but we still got hit a couple times with the gel guns. I didn’t get hit but some of my friends did.
We confronted them and they said they owned the reservoir and they could get us kicked out. Obviously we didn’t believe them. So we just decided to tell them not to bother uis and left.. After that we fished for like 20 more minutes but then we all just went home for dinner.
Overall I would say that it was a pretty fun first fishing day for the season. We still go and have lots of fun and we have definitely caught more fish then. My new rod is also way better than my old one but my dad’s rod might be better then my new one. I have caught some way bigger fish sense then, but no fish I’ll catch this season will compare to that very first one.
New Delhi, Feb 2 (Calcutta Tube) A special presentation by screenwriter Amole Gupte of Aamir Khan’s superhit film ‘Taare Zameen Par’ will take place at the Unesco headquarters in Paris Feb 3.
The Unesco is hosting its first-ever World Dyslexia Forum Feb 3-5 and the first day will witness a special presentation of the film that revolves around a boy suffering from dyslexia.
‘The presentation will reveal the years of systematic research that wove science into the art of story-telling to create a film that took critics and the box-office in India by storm when it was released two years ago,’ says a statement issued by the organisation.
‘With Disney now distributing the DVD of the film worldwide, it is hoped that the sensitive portrayal of the travails of a young boy with dyslexia will find a much wider audience and provide deeper insight into the effects of this complexed disorder,’ it says.
‘Taare Zameen Par’ released in 2007 was directed by Aamir and starred child actor Darsheel Safary in the lead.

I tend to think reverse tolerance isn't really a thing (controversial, I know).  I think it largely comes from new people who aren't sure how to prepare grog and how much of it to drink.

So if I were you, when you're feeling a bit hungry after a couple hours of fasting, I would prepare 8 heaping tablespoons in 3 cups of warm water.  Drink a half to full cup every 20 minutes until it's gone or you feel satisfied.  

Oh, and make to sure to tell me how it goes!Looking for a light and tasty treat to satisfy your sweet tooth this summer? Look no further than these seriously scrumptious mini lemon cheesecakes!
