Do you love music?
My cat, Bingo, loves her music as much as I do.
What do you think would be on her playlist?
My cat, Disco, was outside playing for most of Saturday and she was so tired.
She couldn't keep her eyes open and was asleep as soon as her head touched the pillow – MY PILLOW!
She was even too tired to open her MacBook and get working on her blog!

Study investigates how healthcare workers caught H1N1
OSHA Healthcare Connection, December 28, 2010
An investigation of confirmed cases of H1N1 among healthcare workers (HCW) during the 2009-2010 pandemic indicates that 50% were infected within a healthcare setting.
Of the HCWs infected by patients, only 20% used respiratory protection, such as N95 respirators or surgical masks, for all patient encounters. More than half of the confirmed HCW H1N1 infections occurred in outpatient settings.
These are some of the findings of "Transmission of Pandemic (H1N1) 2009 Influenza to Healthcare Personnel in the United States," an article by CDC researchers appearing in a special supplement on the H1N1 pandemic in the January Clinical Infectious Diseases.
More details about the study and links to the H1N1 supplement are available at the OSHA Healthcare Advisor.

Tux Droid - Talking Linux Penguin
No matter how many strange products we get through the doors here at TrustedReviews there's always something stranger ready to pop up and baffle us some more. I think, though, that for pure surrealism the Tux Droid is going to be pretty hard to beat. Now it's hard to deny that some Linux fans can be pretty evangelistic about their operating system of choice but I wouldn't have thought that that religious dedication would extend so far at to want an idol of the Linux mascot, Tux the penguin, sitting on one's desk.
Apparently, though, I am mistaken because that's exactly what is sitting in front of me right now, and it's not just an effigy of the much-loved penguin, but a wirelessly connected moving speaking robot or sorts. More curiously, unlike most every piece of hardware on the planet, rather than having to hunt for hours on end to find a Linux driver, you'll discover that that only Linux users can use the Tux Droid as Windows drivers aren't available.
This may not seem like a huge issue (what Windows user wants a figure of the Linux mascot on their desk?) but it is a pain when you don't have a Linux machine to hand in order to properly test the dratted thing. It was therefore necessary to go through the fun business of setting up a system with Debian - not a task for the faint hearted. Still, mere days later I had my PC dual booting with Vista and Linux and it was time to have a play with Tux.

Canonical Joins The Document Foundation's LibreOffice Project Advisory Board
Today, July 26, 2016, Canonical and The Document Foundation (TDF) announced that the company behind the popular Ubuntu operating system had joined the LibreOffice project Advisory Board. If you're using the Ubuntu Linux OS on your personal computer, you are aware of the fact that the award-winning LibreOffice office suite is installed by default. Canonical chose to use LibreOffice as the default office suite for its widely-used GNU/Linux operating system since the first release of the open-source software in early 2011. Now that Canonical announced the availability of Snaps as universal binary packages for Ubuntu and other supported GNU/Linux distributions, many application developers decided to offer their software in the Snap package format, and it looks like The Document Foundation is among the first to adopt the latest Snappy technologies for LibreOffice.
Linux Filesystems Explained — EXT2/3/4, XFS, Btrfs, ZFS
The first time I installed Ubuntu on my computer, when I was sixteen, I was astonished by the number of filesystems that were available for the system installation. There were so many that I was left overwhelmed and confused. I was worried that if I picked the wrong one my system might run too slow or that it might be more problematic than another. I wanted to know which was the best. Since then, things have changed quite a bit. Many Linux distributions offer a 'standard' filesystem that an installation will default to unless otherwise specified. I think this was a very good move because it assists newcomers in making a decision and being comfortable with it. But, for those that are still unsure of some of the contemporary offerings, we'll be going through them today.

Whats wrong with you people?
Don't you people watch robot chicken? What is up with all these bad reviews? This film was like a low budget Robot Chicken ep., its funny, its random, and you bitches dont know a comedy when its sticked up your ass, stop sniffing glue and go watch fat albert.
Jesus, its a joke...
Can't believe some of the reviews that you guys got. I thought it was very funny. A little low-brow, but whatever. Graphics need a little work, and the sound was out of sync sometimes, but it's not too bad.
People who don't like it. FUCK OFF.
Go and watch Legendary Frog or something. These guys at least try to be original...
Good work guys.
I look forward to the next episode...
well.....not as(s) good as the first one..
well in fact....its sucks really much.....the first one WAS SO fucking brillant but this is the worst crap i ever seen....u can do it better, we know..... we really know....
ehh... you're kidding right...
This was.. uh. less good... well, it sucked
Improve at all steps: sound, animation, SENSE, humor
find it hard to believe that people actually enjoy crap like this...
sorry but this was a bad try dude.
A little too random and a little too creepy...
Even though it's pretty much like that through out the movie, at least you did it with good effort, and that ain't bad. I believe what made it funnier was the Monty Python reference, the random guy doing a bike stunt, and the "Which one of you kiddies took my pudding?" clip. So I guess you did a nice job, just not as great as I was going to expect.

Adjacent to a state park, but FREE! Well worth the drive off the beaten path. Stunning lake views and scenery.
Family fun for all. If you're looking to dive 15 feet into the icy lake or meander along the beautiful lake Michigan, it's a great state park experience and easy access from Sister Bay and adjacent towns. Definitely worth a visit for the family..!
Make this part of your trip! Beautiful and relaxing. There are picnic areas with grills right in front of the water and the sound of the waves crashing against the caves is awesome. Best picnic dinner I've ever had! Whitefish dunes is right there as well for a swim and great waves! Do not miss this
Perfect vacation. ..wish we could stay longer. Peaceful and beautiful scenery. Nice place to escape to.
This is both a cliche location and sentimental favorite. We've made Cave Point our permanent bucket list place. It's picturesque and provides all manner of pleasures. Walking trails, picnic, and rock climbing for the robust visitors.
We visited Cave Point County Park in Sturgeon Bay, WI and we're pleasantly surprised when we walked upon a small beach covered with limestone rocks. Most of them were just lying on the beach but many of them struck the imaginations of other visitors and were stacked not only cautiously but precariously to form beautiful skyscrapers for the little people... 更多
We were in Door Cty with kids and grandkids. This county park was one of the highlights of our visit. Bring your hiking shoes as the paths are somewhat difficult with tree roots. Got some great family pics! Everyone loved building their own Cairn. We talked a bit about their significance in ancient times. Will definitely go back.
We took the difficult trail from the service center to the Cave Points Co Park. It was a stunning views of the lake. My boys were really enjoyed cliffs climbing. People also can do kayaking, swimming and building rock here . We're really love the beautiful nature at this park as well as other places in Door County. The park... 更多
This park was recommended to us as a nice place to stop on our way to a condo farther north in Door County, an opportunity to stretch our legs and enjoy Lake Michigan shoreline views. The views are beautiful, the sound of waves so special. Read the info plaque at the entrance, very interesting historical and geographical info. Shoreline trails... 更多
I love coming to Cave Point every year. But lately people have been building towers and other stuff and it's kind of sad to see that people can't leave nature alone and just enjoy the sights that Cave Point has to offer!

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the influence of age on survival and risk of subsequent fracture in men with hip fracture, applying a residual lifetime perspective.
DESIGN: Retrospective cohort study with 22-year follow-up.
SETTING: Skåne University Hospital, Malmö, Sweden.
PARTICIPANTS: Men aged 60 and older (N=226) with an index hip fracture during 1984/85.
MEASUREMENTS: Twenty-two-year survival (mortality) and risk of new fractures evaluated in 5-year age bands and age groups (<75, 75–84, ≥85).
RESULTS: Mean age was 78±9. Mortality at 22 years was 98%. Survivors were all younger than 75 at inclusion. Mortality was dependent on age at all time points (18%, 38%, 69% at 1 year, increasing to 71%, 93%, 100% by 10 years in <75, 75–84, ≥85, respectively). Median survival was 5.4 years, 2.0 years, and 3 months, respectively, in these age groups, and 33%, 27%, and 13% of each age-group sustained subsequent fractures, generally within 5 years. Overall 10-year fracture risk was 29% (95% confidence interval (CI)=19–38%), increasing to 44% (95% CI=30–58%) when adjusted for mortality. Residual lifetime risk of new fracture was 33% (95% CI=23–43%), and mortality-adjusted risk was 63% (95% CI=45–81%). Participants younger than 75 at index hip fracture were at greatest risk of new fracture (hazard ratio=2.7, 95% CI=1.1–6.4, P=.03).
CONCLUSION: Almost one-third of men with hip fracture have subsequent fractures during their remaining lifetime. Time at risk is highly dependent on age. Most new fractures occur in relatively younger men and within 5 years, whereas most aged 75 and older die before experiencing a new fracture.

Dromology - the science (or logic) of speed. This is the definition developed by Urbanist and Professor Dr. Paul Virilio's. He believed that, "a thing that acts with speed quickly comes to dominate that which is slower." I highlighted this statement in his paper when I read, Speed and Politics recently. I have observed this phenomena when analyzing businesses and their digital transformation efforts.
In today's business world speed and agility, or the lack thereof, can mean the difference between success and failure. IT systems of yesteryear are today's anchors dragging down companies. Business strategies and ways of thinking that brought successes in the past, today prolong their inevitable demise. It is not just the investments of the past that weigh down a business, but old thinking.
Agility is not just a programming and project management methodology, but a business requirement. I recently attended a talk by Todd Lutwak, a Partner at the VC firm Andreessen Horowitz. He said the cost of forming and running a startup company is down 100Xs that which it once cost. Why? It is due to things like open source technologies, cloud computing, SaaS business models, globalization and LinkedIn. LinkedIn? Indeed! He said LinkedIn enables startups to quickly, efficiently and cost effectively find the experts they need in ways never before possible.
All of the innovations and efficiencies Lutwak identified as helping startups, contribute to efficiencies, speed and agility. No longer does a startup need to invest much of their investor funds into business systems just to start operating. They can subscribe to SaaS solutions and be operating in 24 hours without significant upfront investments. This speed enables the startup to focus on the innovative products and services, getting them to market, solving customer problems and making money. Their focus can be on that which makes the business successful.
I believe the trend in enterprise mobility away from expensive on-premise MADP (mobile application development platforms) to MbaaS (mobile backend as a service) business models and solutions align with Lutwak's observations. Companies don't want to make massive budget, time and resource commitments to platforms that may restrict their future agility and speed to market.
Many companies today believe the only way they can be successful in the future is to buy startups, or spin-off their own startups and build up from there. They have concluded that the fossilized thinking, processes and systems of the traditional business are not conducive to future success. That is sad, but often an all too accurate conclusion.
Let's just make sure that we build the next phase of our businesses with speed, agility, innovation and creative thinking at the core.

In addition to all the benefits, IoT is also bringing new kind of customer experience challenges - cars that unlock themselves, thermostats turning houses into saunas and baby video monitors broadcasting over the internet. This list can only increase because while IoT services should be intuitive and simple to use, the delivery ecosystem is a myriad of potential problems as IoT explodes complexity. So finding a performance issue is like finding the proverbial needle in the haystack.

A critical component of any IoT project is what to do with all the data being generated. This data needs to be captured, processed, structured, and stored in a way to facilitate different kinds of queries. Traditional data warehouse and analytical systems are mature technologies that can be used to handle certain kinds of queries, but they are not always well suited to many problems, particularly when there is a need for real-time insights.

Data science stands to take this to a level you never thought of – literally.

Planting Tips for Heirloom Beans:
50-60 days for green, 100+ days for dry beans. Beans typically need warm soil of 65° or higher. Grow best in full sun with well watered soil. Regular harvesting of the young pods will ensure a greater yield. Boost yields and germination by adding inoculants.
Avoid planting in soil that stays wet. Heirloom bean diseases thrive in wet conditions, and the roots may not get enough oxygen.
Heirloom beans like soil that is slightly acid, about 6.5. This can be achieved by adding mulched pine needles, peat moss, or sulfur.
Try wide row growing for bush beans. Make your heirloom bean rows three across instead of just one. Three wide is perfect because most people can reach across that width. You can grow 3 times the amount of heirloom beans in the same space, you reduce the amount of area for weeds, and you'll save on water.
Heirloom seeds are hardy but always take care with your garden seeds to give them the appropriate amount of moisture - don't let the vegetable seeds dry out prematurely, and don't overwater and possibly have them rot.
Pick your beans when they are tender and still snappy. Rinse the beans off and let them dry out as much as possible. Cut off the stem end. Using a darning needle and white thread or kite string, string the beans through the center, leaving both the ends loose. Wrap the string around the first and last bean, ensuring that the knot will not pull through. Hang the beans in a clean, dry place until they are wrinkled and dried out. Keep them hanging until you are ready to use them or put them in a clean sack with a bit of salt to keep bugs away. Cook them until tender by boiling them to get them clean, then drain, rinse and add to stews or soups.
Preheat oven to 450 and set a rack on the upper level
In a large baking dish, toss the beans with olive oil, garlic, thyme, salt and pepper. Spread into a single layer and roast, tossing occasionally until tender and lightly browned (about 15 minutes)
Discard the thyme sprigs and transfer beans to a bowl. Add anchovies, lemon zest and lemon juice. Toss well and serve warm or at room temperature.
Whisk together vinegar, mustard and oil. Season with salt and pepper
Blanch green beans, cooking 6-8 minutes until tender. Set aside.
Combine beans, fennel and walnuts in a lrage bowl. Add feta and dressing just before serving. Toss well to coat.
This dish can be served at room temperature or chilled.
|Sobolchskii 193 Tobacco
Sobolchskii 193 is a bright leaf variety imported from the Ukraine. It is a tall columnar shaped plant reaching up to 8' in height with light green leaves. It is easy to cure and has a smooth mild taste with a nicotine content of approximately 1.8%. An excellent choice for a cigarette or pipe blend.
|Bushy Cucumber Seeds
This great cucumber hails from Russia. You reckon it might have some tolerance of cool weather and still produce? It produces short 4-5 foot vines making it perfect for those with limited space. Great for salads or pickling. Black spined cucumber.

I love, love, love the Costco store in Brookhaven! I like the layout of the store and the customer service is amazing! The employees are genuinely friendly and happy to be there. I usually can find everything I need. When I can't, there is a computer station near the checkouts I go to. They will check and tell me when a particular item is due back in their store. That is a huge help! As far as Kirkland products are concerned, I find them to be at least as good, but often better, than the "name" brands -- and usually cheaper. I have never been disappointed in a Kirkland product. If you have a chance, take a look at the Costco documentary, "The Costco Craze: Inside the Warehouse Giant." You can watch it on You Tube or online through Amazon or Netflix. I watched it when I was hesitating to renew my membership (I am a single person) and, based on what I saw and learned, I renewed. Very informative! I do wish the Brookhaven Costco had a self-checkout line -- like the Peachtree-Dunwoody Costco does -- for customers with few items. But, as far as I am concerned shopping at Brookhaven Costco is a 5-star experience!

I've been going to this Kroger for a number of years now, and it was always a little sketchy. They had cheap prices usually, but their produce and meat/fish was not reliable. Sometimes I would get home and find the meat or fish was already bad. However, the past year or so this place has really spiffed up. Their produce is looking better and I haven't had as bad of luck with the meat. It is annoying that you have to have a Kroger card to get their sale prices, and their "sales" aren't always good deals, but it is a reliable cheap grocery store.
This store is a GEM! Always clean, brightly lit, the staff is there to help. Been shopping here for sometime. They just started printing their own coupons. (Of course they take Manufacturers coupons too). Get senior discounts on Wed. IF they don't have the cut of meat you want, ask. If they don't stock spmething you want, just let customer service know.

Midday MP3s: Twotenanny Edition
Tonight's Twotenanny at the Mink promises to be an exhilarating, if packed, good time. Co-organizer adr of the Skyline Network advises those under 21 who want to get their covers on to get there right when the doors open at 7, because the club will fill up fast and, you know, it wants to leave plenty of room for people who are drinking (of which there will be many). Evidently plans are already underway for some sort of "Troitenanny," but for now, enjoy this collection of MP3s (and a couple of videos) of tonight's talent Rocks Off managed to scrounge together.

The 1st Edition Advanced Dungeons & Dragons Alignment Calculator
Neutral Evil or Chaotic Evil
"Cat's foot iron claw
neurosurgeons scream for more
at Paranoia's poison door
twenty first century schizoid man"
-- KING CRIMSON, 21st Century Schizoid Man
WIth regards to Law and Chaos, you are Neutral or maybe Chaotic
With regards to Good and Evil, you are Evil
Your scored a combination of TWO alignments, Neutral Evil and Chaotic Evil. You should go to the bottom of this page and click on both of these alignments for more details, because you are partially one and partially the other.
To give you a general idea, people of this alignment combination are primarily evil and secondarily chaotic. They prefer to work alone rather than in groups and are loyal only to themselves (ie: chaotic), although they have no problem with manipulating others to do their dirty work. Power is their only objective, and they are willing to break every rule and sacrifice anything, even their own identities, in pursuit of that objective. This is one-dimensional power madness with a twist of insanity, the stuff of narcissistic despots and paranoid cult leaders, people that rise to power by deceiving and betraying everyone else, even their most loyal allies. The kind of people who, when they finally fall, try to take everyone else down with them. This is a very ugly mixed alignment ... similar to Chaotic Evil, except without that alignment's spirited rebelliousness and megalomanic charm. In fact you might say this is what happens when Chaotic Evil sells out.
Fictional Examples Of This Alignment Combination
From what I've read of him, Lord Voldemort from the Harry Potter books is an excellent example of this alignment combination. He began as a brilliant and gifted magician, but his obsession with cheating death and his desire for power corrupted him into an inhuman fiend. Born as half-witch and half-human, he sought to eradicate all other half-bloods, seeing them as inferior -- he hated what he himself was, and because of this, his schemes were driven by his personal feelings, which is essentially chaotic. Yet he was more evil than chaotic. Originally a charming and attractive man, he delved into dark magic until his appearance became warped and inhuman. He also split his own soul into fragments to achieve immortality, reducing himself to a shadow of what he once was. He sold himself out, sacrificing his humanity -- indeed his very identity -- to gain power, with no understanding of what he was throwing away. He disregarded love and innocence as human weaknesses, and his underestimation of these things proved to be his downfall.
Quick Scoring Guide
evil scores of 8 to 19 : generally evil
evil scores of 20 to 29 : exceptionally evil
evil scores of 30 & up : monster
Your Destination in the Afterlife : TARTARUS
According to Gygax, your soul is going to Tartarus. In ancient Greek mythology, this was the most awful place there was, a horrible lightless dungeon at the very nadir of Hades, where those most hated by the gods were punished without mercy, perpetually torn between hope and hopelessness. This was where the most wicked and despicable souls went after death, a noisome and fetid cosmic sewer at the bottom of the universe, where the souls of the damned were swallowed up by an unspeakable foulness.
In the AD&D universe, the plane of Tartarus has six levels and lies between Hades and The Abyss. In the original myths, Tartarus was actually a region inside of Hades, but for some reason Gygax decided to make it a separate plane.

sortablejs – Drag-n-Drop without jQuery UI
Thu, Jul 21st 2016 4:59p Keith Strickland
I had a need to enable drag-n-drop for a particular part of our portal. In the past I've always used jQuery-UI as it's quite easy to enable drag-n-drop. Doing some research I came across a StackOverflow question about enabling drag-n-drop with Polymer. One of the answers mentioned sortablejs. This is a very minimalist library to enable drag-n-drop. Best part about this library is that it has a port for Polymer. BONUS! But there are several ports available: Angular, Knockout, Meteor,

Polymer app-layout Elements
Fri, Jul 1st 2016 5:23p Keith Strickland
Looking at the Polymer app-layout elements I have to say these are pretty cool! Some of it is old news because it was/is supported via the paper-drawer-panel, paper-header and paper-toolbar elements. However by taking the lessons learned with those elements and creating their "app" siblings I think it makes for a much nicer implementation. The basic use of the app-layout elements would look something like this: [[contentTitle]]

Tue, Jun 14th 2016 5:58p Keith Strickland
When developing modern web applications, we want to build components that are re-usable. The more reusable it is, the better. When things are re-usable we get a lot of benefits going forward with future applications, mainly speed of development. But we also get the ability to update a component in one place and the next update to any app that uses that component, we just get the new version. One thing that is pretty popular in Domino apps and some modern web apps is a picker. A list of items on
1.5 Years with Polymer Web Components
Sun, May 29th 2016 3:31p Keith Strickland
For about the last 6 to 8 months I've been doing a lot of development using Polymer Web Components. I started with the 0.5 developer release version. My experience so far has been a little bitter sweet. Using version 0.5 I had to jump quite a few hoops to get things working, but once I figured out the patterns all was well with the world. In the Beginning I had chosen to use Backbone Marionette for the MVC architecture for my apps. I already knew Marionette so I felt the logical choice w

I would also like to explain how Tim helped change both my personal and professional life. The loss of Tim has already left me feeling a rather large empty space where he once stood. Before I was hired at GBS I learned a lot from Tim's blog and the few chat sessions I had with him. I had never met him pe

My first impressions of using Titanium Appcelerator
Sun, Dec 8th 2013 1:46p Keith Strickland
A couple of weeks ago I started messing with Titanium Appcelerator. Coming from Domino Designer and Eclipse the IDE will look very familiar. It's eclipse and it's based off of Aptana Studio. I guess the biggest issue to being productive is the learning curve for the API. But honestly when is that not the case? So starting to delve into this, Titanium apps are purely client side javascript based. You write the CSJS that builds the UI, Business Logic, Layout, everything. While this may s

2 Days with Domino 9.0.1 Mobile Controls – And I'm not happy
Wed, Oct 30th 2013 3:27p Keith Strickland
OK, so today is the 2nd day I've spent with the Mobile controls from Domino 9.0.1. I must say the lack of a 9.0.1 Beta is quite obvious. So some of the "improvements" IBM made to the mobile controls are the addition of onBeforeTransitionIn/Out onAfterTransitionIn/Out. While these events are sorely needed, the implementation IBM chose to use doesn't work is kind-of odd. So, a brief rundown of the transition events pre 9.0.1. I posted a while back about how to implement these methods i

I'm responsible for ensuring that our
programming is created according to professional
standards using broadcast-grade
equipment. Recently, one element in our
operation—an older camera control system—
began to be problematic. It was too
old to be upgraded so we started shopping
for a replacement.
In order to maintain our high production
standards, we needed a camera control
system that was more versatile than
the one we were replacing and we also
wanted one that could be integrated with
our production switcher.
Based on our requirements, as well as
recommendations from others and the
company's reputation in this sector of the
industry, we selected a Telemetrics camera
control system. This included an RCCP-1 robotic
camera control panel, PT-CP-S4 precision
pan/tilt heads and Telemetrics' CLIU-S2
serial input camera and lens control converter
that relays serial control commands
to and from the camera and to provide positioning
information for the lens servo.
We installed the new system in the county
administration building, with
the cameras and robotic heads
situated in the county supervisors'
chambers and the control
room located about 100 feet
away in the same building.
The Telemetrics control
panel was integrated with our
Broadcast Pix Granite production
switcher, allowing us to
control cameras from two different
panels. This integration
makes one- or two-person productions
much easier. We also found the discrete
camera shading control capability very
helpful. This wasn't available on our earlier
system, requiring operators to make adjustments
from menus contained within the
camera CCUs. Telemetrics' RCCP-1 now
provides us with shading capability without
having to drill down through menus.
The Telemetrics control panel provides
a very natural and intuitive control
over the cameras and their lens functions.
Camera control is smooth and responsive,
making nice-looking on-air moves easy to
achieve. We're also making good use of the
preset camera positions. We've found the
RCCP-1 control interface to be very user
friendly, allowing our operators to update
stored camera shots without having to refer
to a manual.
System performance has been consistent
and customer support and training
provided by Telemetrics has been equally
outstanding. Overall, the Telemetrics camera
control system is now a very welcome
and now integral part of our operation.

engineer with the Prince William County,

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwired) -- 03/17/14 -- Huakan International Mining Inc. (the "Company") (TSX-VENTURE:HK) announces that it has entered into an Amalgamation Agreement (the "Agreement") with 0996059 B.C. Ltd. ("Newco"), pursuant to which the Company will be taken private by way of an amalgamation (the "Amalgamation") between Newco and the Company.
Newco is a corporation owned by Hong Kong Huakan Investment Co., Limited ("Hong Kong Huakan"), Sun Luck Asia Investment Limited ("Sun Luck") and Power Best Resources Inc. ("Power Best" and together with Hong Kong Huakan and Sun Luck, the "Acquirors"). Certain wholly-owned subsidiaries of Hong Kong Huakan (being Huakan Resources Inc., Hua Kan International Mining Co., Ltd., Shanchuan Mining Limited and Dashan Mining Limited (collectively, the "Huakan Subsidiaries")), together with Sun Luck and Power Best, collectively own approximately 91.8% of the issued and outstanding common shares (the "Shares") in the capital of the Company. The Acquirors are unrelated, but are acting in concert in the Amalgamation.
More specifically, Hong Kong Huakan, through the Huakan Subsidiaries, collectively owns 31,955,223 Shares (representing approximately 75.27% of the Shares). Sun Luck and Power Best own 3,942,852 Shares (representing approximately 9.29% of the Shares) and 3,074,285 Shares (representing approximately 7.24% of the Shares), respectively. In addition, there is a shareholder holding 214,286 (representing 0.5% of the Shares) who, pursuant to the Amalgamation Agreement will remain a shareholder of the amalgamated company together with Sun Luck, Power Best and the Huakan Subsidiaries (such shareholder together with Sun Luck, Power Best and Huakan Subsidiaries be referred to as the "Amalco Shareholders").
As at March 14, 2014, the Company had outstanding 42,451,939 Shares.
The Acquirors have entered into lock-up agreements with holders of Shares who represent 1,806,752 of all the issued and outstanding Shares (or approximately 4.3% of all the issued and outstanding Shares) pursuant to which such shareholders have agreed to vote all of their Shares in favour of the Amalgamation.
Pursuant to the Agreement, the Acquirors will, directly or indirectly, through the Amalgamation, pay $0.50 per Share in cash (the "Offer Price") to holders of all of the issued and outstanding Shares that are not directly or indirectly, owned by the Amalco Shareholders. Each shareholder of the Company, other than the Amalco Shareholders, will receive one redeemable preferred share of the amalgamated company for each Share held immediately prior to the Amalgamation. Each redeemable preferred share will then be redeemed for the Offer Price. The total cash consideration for the aggregate Offer Price will be $1,632,646.50. The Amalgamation, if consummated, will result in the Company being taken private and delisted from the TSX Venture Exchange.
The Offer Price represents a 294% premium to the volume weighted average price of the Shares over the previous 20 trading days on the TSX Venture Exchange.
The Amalgamation, if consummated, will constitute a "business combination" for the purposes of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101").
The board of directors of the Company (the "Board") formed a special committee (the "Special Committee") comprised of independent directors David Bo (the Chair) and Garnet Dawson to evaluate the Amalgamation and make recommendations to the Board. The Special Committee has engaged McCarthy Tetrault LLP as its legal advisors.
Because the Acquirors directly or indirectly beneficially own, in aggregate, over 90% of the issued and outstanding Shares, the Amalgamation will, pursuant to Section 4.6(1)(a) of MI 61-101, be exempt from the minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101.
Further, because the Company is listed on the TSX Venture Exchange, the Amalgamation will, pursuant to Section 4.4(1)(a) of MI 61-101, be exempt from the formal valuation requirements of MI 61-101.
The Special Committee has, however, retained Mr. Stephen W. Semeniuk as an independent financial advisor to prepare a fairness opinion (the "Fairness Opinion") with respect to the proposed Amalgamation. Having given due consideration to a number of factors including the Fairness Opinion, which concludes that the Offer Price is fair, from a financial point of view, to the minority shareholders of the Company, the Special Committee, as advised by its legal advisors, recommended the Amalgamation positively to the Board, which in turn approved and executed the Agreement for and on behalf of the Company.
The Company has convened a special meeting of shareholders (the "Meeting") which will take place on April 17, 2014 for shareholders to consider and, if thought appropriate, to approve the Amalgamation. Notice of the Meeting has been duly issued and filed.
The completion of the Amalgamation is subject to a number of conditions precedent that are customary to this type of transaction, including, but not limited to, there being no material adverse change with respect to the Company, the approval of at least two-thirds of the votes cast by holders of Shares at the Meeting and the acceptance of the Amalgamation by the TSX Venture Exchange.
Assuming the satisfaction of all conditions, the proposed transaction is expected to close as soon as practicable following the Meeting. However, there can be no assurances that the Amalgamation, or any other transaction with the Acquirors, will be completed.
Details of the terms and conditions of the Amalgamation, together with a summary of the Fairness Opinion, will be included in a management information circular, which will be mailed to the shareholders as soon as practicable and will also be available for download at www.sedar.com.
No actions are required to be taken by shareholders at this stage. The Company will communicate with shareholders in due course with respect to the Amalgamation.
Neither the TSX Venture Exchange nor its Regulations Services Provider (as that term is defined in the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange) accepts responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this release.
Forward-looking statements or information are subject to a variety of risks and uncertainties which could cause actual events or results to differ from those reflected in the forward-looking statements or information, including, without limitation, risks and uncertainties relating to the negotiation and consummation of the definitive agreements with respect to the Amalgamation, the completion of the Amalgamation or related transactions, receipt of requisite legal and financial opinions with respect to the Amalgamation and applicable regulatory approvals required with respect to the Amalgamation. Should one or more of these risks and uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those described in forward-looking statements or information. Accordingly, readers are advised not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements or information. The Company disclaims any intent or obligation to update forward-looking statements or information except as required by law, and the reader is referred to the full discussion of the Company's business contained in the Company's reports filed with the securities regulatory authorities in Canada at www.sedar.com.

Early adopters of IoT viewed it mainly as a different term for machine-to-machine connectivity or M2M. This is understandable since a prerequisite for any IoT solution is the ability to collect and aggregate device data, which is most often presented in a dashboard. The problem is that viewing data in a dashboard requires a human to interpret the results and take manual action, which doesn't scale to the needs of IoT.
