Applicable Legislative Provisions
National Policy 11-203 Process for Exemptive Relief Applications in Multiple Jurisdictions.
National Instrument 51-102, s. 13.1 Continuous Disclosure Obligations.
March 1, 2017
IN THE MATTER OF THE SECURITIES LEGISLATION OF BRITISH COLUMBIA AND ONTARIO (the Jurisdictions) AND IN THE MATTER OF THE PROCESS FOR EXEMPTIVE RELIEF APPLICATIONS IN MULTIPLE JURISDICTIONS AND IN THE MATTER OF SIERRA WIRELESS, INC. (the Filer)
1 The securities regulatory authority or regulator in each of the Jurisdictions (Decision Maker) has received an application from the Filer for a decision under the securities legislation of the Jurisdictions (the Legislation) granting relief from the requirement in Part 8 of National Instrument 51-102 Continuous Disclosure Obligations (NI 51-102) to file a business acquisition report (BAR) in connection with the Filer's acquisition of a business specializing in embedded wireless technologies (Blue Creation) (the Acquisition) on November 2, 2016 (the Exemption Sought).
Under the Process for Exemptive Relief Applications in Multiple Jurisdictions (for a dual application):
(a) the British Columbia Securities Commission is the principal regulator for this application,
(b) the Filer has provided notice that section 4.7(1) of Multilateral Instrument 11-102 Passport System (MI 11-102) is intended to be relied upon in Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Quebec, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland and Labrador, and
(c) the decision is the decision of the principal regulator and evidences the decision of the securities regulatory authority or regulator in Ontario.
2 Terms defined in National Instrument 14-101 Definitions, MI 11-102 and NI 51-102 have the same meaning if used in this decision, unless otherwise defined in this decision.
3 This decision is based on the following facts represented by the Filer:
The Filer
1. the Filer is a corporation incorporated under the Canada Business Corporations Act and its head office is located in Richmond, British Columbia;
2. the Filer is a reporting issuer under the securities legislation of each of the provinces of Canada;
3. the common shares of the Filer are listed and posted for trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the trading symbol "SW" and on NASDAQ under the trading symbol "SWIR";
4. the Filer is not in default of securities legislation in any jurisdiction other than its obligation to file a BAR in connection with the Acquisition;
5. the Filer is in the business of building wireless solutions including cellular embedded wireless modules and gateways which are integrated with the Filer's secure cloud and connectivity services;
6. the Filer's OEM Solutions segment includes cellular embedded modules, software and tools for original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) to integrate wireless cellular connectivity into products and solutions across a broad range of industries, including automotive, transportation, energy, enterprise, networking, sales and payment, mobile computing, security, industrial monitoring, field services, residential, healthcare and others;
The Acquisition
7. on November 2, 2016, the Filer acquired the issued and outstanding share capital of Blue Creation for total cash consideration of approximately US$6.4 million or US$2.9 million, net of US$3.5 million of cash acquired, plus a maximum contingent consideration of US$0.5 million under a performance-based earn-out formula (the Purchase Price);
8. Blue Creation is an early stage company that specializes in Bluetooth, Bluetooth Low Energy, Wi-Fi and other embedded wireless technologies; the acquisition of Blue Creation provides the Filer with expanded short-range wireless module capabilities in Bluetooth and Wi-Fi and will strengthen the Filer's strategic position with OEMs;
Significance Tests for the BAR
9. under Part 8 of NI 51-102, the Filer is required to file a BAR for any completed acquisition that is determined to be significant based on the acquisition satisfying any of the three significance tests set out in section 8.3(2) of NI 51-102;
10. the Acquisition is not a significant acquisition under the asset test in section 8.3(2)(a) of NI 51-102 as the value of Blue Creation represented only approximately 0.6% of the consolidated assets of the Filer as of December 31, 2015;
11. the Acquisition is not a significant acquisition under the investment test in section 8.3(2)(b) of NI 51-102 as the Filer's acquisition costs represented only approximately 1.3% of the consolidated assets of the Filer as of December 31, 2015;
12. the Acquisition would, however, be a significant acquisition under the profit or loss test in section 8.3(2)(c) of NI 51-102; in particular, the Filer's proportionate share of the consolidated specified profit or loss of Blue Creation exceeds 20% of the consolidated specified profit or loss of the Filer calculated using audited annual financial statements of the Filer for the year ended December 31, 2015 and unaudited annual financial statements of Blue Creation for the year ended February 28, 2016;
13. the application of the profit or loss test produces an anomalous result for the Filer because it exaggerates the significance of the Acquisition out of proportion to its significance on an objective basis in comparison to the results of the asset test and investment test;
De Minimis Acquisition
14. the Filer does not believe (nor did it at the time that it made the acquisition) that the acquisition of Blue Creation is significant to it from a commercial, business, practical or financial perspective; and
15. the Filer has provided the principal regulator with additional operational measures that demonstrate the non-significance of the acquisition of Blue Creation to the Filer; these additional operational measures compared other operational information such as revenue, operating income, number of employees and number of embedded wireless modules shipped to that of the Filer, and the results of those measures are generally consistent with the results of the asset test and the investment test.
4 Each of the Decision Makers is satisfied that the decision meets the test set out in the Legislation for the Decision Maker to make the decision.
The decision of the Decision Makers under the Legislation is that the Exemption Sought is granted.

Ahmed Qureia, a top Palestinian Authority (PA) negotiator and former PA prime minister, has threatened that Palestinians will use more terrorism to murder Jews if they do not obtain whatever they demand in negotiations. Quereia stated in a meeting with newly-elected Kadima chairwoman, Israeli Foreign Affairs Minister Tzipi Livni, that, "The Palestinians will continue to negotiate. But, if the talks reached a dead end, what do we do? Capitulate? Resistance in all its forms is a legitimate right. Asked whether he was saying the Palestinians might resume suicide bombings and attacks inside Israel, Qureia responded, "All forms of resistance." Livni responded by saying that peace talks will not stall while she tries to form a new coalition government ('Ahmed Qureia: Violence 'legitimate' if talks fail,' Yediot Ahronot, September 23, 2008).
ZOA National President Morton A. Klein said, "The Palestinian Authority, as it has demonstrated in countless ways over the years, clearly supports and advocates the use of terrorism, as Qureia put it, as a 'legitimate right' and even has the effrontery to threaten the Israeli leadership with an intensification of its use if the PA doesn't get everything it demands from Israel in negotiations.
"We are appalled, not only by Qureia's brazen words legitimizing the use of terrorism against innocent civilians, a war crime, but by the fact that Ms. Livni did not walk out of the meeting. It is bad enough that Israel has continued negotiating with the PA despite its complete failure to jail terrorists and disband their organizations and end the incitement to hatred and murder in the PA controlled media, mosques, schools and youth camps that feed terror. It is worse that it tolerates threats of murdering Jews indicating that Palestinians feel entitled to commit war crimes whenever they do not get what they want.
"It is now crystal clear that the PA is an evil entity committed to murder and suicide bombings against Jewish people. The ZOA renews it long-standing call on the Israeli and American governments to cut all ties with Mahmoud Abbas' PA and to cease all diplomatic, military and financial support to it until and unless it fulfills its Oslo commitments to put an end to terrorism and the incitement that nurtures it."

Balayya is yet to declare his next film but sure has kicked the ball rolling for this film which has become the talk of the town.

Hooverville in Central Park During The Great Depression (26 pics)
During the Great depression, on vacant lots, on public lands in the empty lanes, the unemployed built huts and shacks made of wood and metal. In America, these villages were called Hoovervilles, after President Hoover, during the presidency of which there was a crash. Here are the pictures of Hooverville in New York's Central Park. It was a very popular place until 1940, when the economy and employment is largely recovered.

Yes, yes, yes, I know it's Labor Day, not Memorial Day…but I'm not talking about the freedom to vote, speak or worship….I'm talking about the freedoms that really matter.
How about freedom from slime and stench? We're not our of the diaper woods yet, but Amelia did pee in the potty again this morning. There's light.
Victory #2 – after a solid five weeks of trying, Amelia finally succeeded in getting the pacifier in Siena's mouth. Yes, in her mouth, silencing the baby…and yes, she can now do this without sticking it up Siena's nose. For those of you who don't have kids and need a little context, this development ranks up above "Amelia, can you get Daddy a beer?". I don't know exactly how this relates to freedom, but it feels liberating.
And, yes, the moment we've all been waiting for FREEDOM TO SLEEP!!!!!! Reiterating my earlier sentiments, Sleep at last! Sleep at last! Thanks God Almighty, we can sleep at last! . Siena slept for seven hours last night! That's my girl!!!! We switched to a new fool-proof swaddling technique that she seems to love, and it's made a world of difference…that, and she's twelve pounds already might have something to do with it.

Narrandera Volunteer Rescue Squad is set to receive a new medium rigid rescue truck and equipment as part of the largest ever funding announcement to date for the NSW VRA.
Minister for Emergency Services Troy Grant committed $18.8 million over four years, in addition to an existing grant of $1.365 million, to upgrade rescue vehicles, equipment, personal protective clothing, training and administrative support.
All squads throughout the state will benefit from new equipment and uniforms for volunteers.
To date, the NSW VRA has been primarily funded through an annual grant of $1.365 million from the NSW Government.
Troy Grant said the funding would deliver 30 new rescue vehicles for regional NSW, and provide standardised equipment for vertical, swift water and general land rescue, as well as communications and training.
"These volunteers often perform rescues under challenging conditions, so we want to do everything we can to ensure they are as safe as possible,'' he said.
Narrandera VRA captain Wayne Heidtmann welcomed the news, saying the majority of local operating expenses were met by community fundraising and donations.
Mr Heidtmann said squad members were looking forward to a new truck, equipment, protective clothing and training.
The squad's rescue truck, an Acco 1950, was formerly a police rescue vehicle on the NSW coast, and arrived at Narrandera about 12 years ago.
"It's getting past its use by date but it still does the job,'' Mr Heidtmann said.
Each Friday, squad members hold a fundraising barbecue in Narrandera's main street to keep the vehicles ticking over in fuel, tyres and equipment.
Located on the junction of five major roads, the squad calls on around eight members and is actively looking for new volunteers. Last week they attended two motor vehicle accidents in the dust storm on the same day on the Sturt and Newell highways.
"We are on the junction of five busy highways and our area is bounded by Ardlethan, Leeton, Urana and Jerilderie,'' vice-captain Alastair Macdonald said.
"We don't just attend motor vehicle accidents but also carry out flood rescue, inland water rescue, and assisting police and ambulance,'' he said. "We are the primary rescue unit for this area and work closely with Fire and Rescue NSW.
"Our barbecue fundraising has gone towards portable battery-operated hydraulic spreaders. We are looking at upgrading lighting equipment, boating equipment and working towards getting updated enough so we can encourage new members in.''
The squad celebrated 50 years in 2018 and is one of the oldest in the state.
NSW VRA commissioner Mark Gibson said the annual $1.365 million grant was no longer sufficient to cover operational costs.
"This (additional) funding ensures our financial sustainability and will increase our capability in providing a professional volunteer based emergency and rescue service to the community,'' Mr Gibson said.
He said the purchase of 30 new vehicles would standardise the fleet and include 18 medium rigid and 12 quick response trucks.
He said the whole fleet would be modernised with ageing vehicles decommissioned.
All new rescue vehicles will be fitted with new hydraulic rescue equipment.
"These purchases will form an important step in upgrading hydraulic rescue equipment right across the organisation and assist with inter-agency compatibility, capacity and service delivery to the community,'' Mr Gibson said.
The funds will also allow for more portable and light weight battery powered rescue cutters and spreaders, more specialist rescue equipment and resources, such as power tools, lighting towers and first aid kits.
It will also allow for rescue boats and jet skis for assisting the NSW Police Force with inland waterways search and rescue and body retrieval operations, along with wet suits, vessels, rafts, ropes, reach poles and specialist ropes for flood rescue.
Mr Gibson said all personal protective clothing and equipment would be in the future issued free to volunteer members.
"This will bring our organisation in line with other emergency service organisations that provide these items to their volunteers,'' he said.
The Narrandera Squad is one of the many NSW Volunteer Rescue Association rescue squads located in regional NSW that run on the back of volunteers.
The NSW VRA attends about 10,000 incidents a year, including motor vehicle accidents, searches, body recoveries, inland water search and recovery, vertical rescues, animal rescues, lighting of crime scenes and emergency lighting, swift water rescue, industrial and domestic rescue, first aid at sporting events and traffic control for community events.

So to clarify, you're still seeing the error? What does the error message say?
java.net.ConnectExeption: Connection timed out: no further information:
Okay. Would you try getting a new ip by pressing the start server button, then wait a few minutes, and press the force shutdown button. Then press start server again?
Then use the ip and test the first badge, since it's the simplest badge? go to http://mod.learntomod.com/badge_builders/2823?sequence=9054&position=0 and press the blue cube button to load the mod, after you're in your world.
Let me know if the error is still there.
My server is now not letting me on when I just got the new ip.
Never mind, when I refreshed my page, it showed my server shut down.
I'm glad to hear it's working again. The ip's are designed to last about 10 - 15 minutes, so if it expires the solution is to press the start server button again.
Now my server is refusing my connection. java.net.ConnectExeption: Connection refused: No further information. A few seconds later, I went to my server page an it showed my server shut down. Is there a way I can get it to stop shutting down on me while I'm on the server?
Your probably seeing that error message because your ip expired. Unfortunately, the ip's are designed to only last for about 10 to 15 minutes -- there isn't currently a way to use learntomod with a permanent ip. (This is a security feature)
But you should be able to press start server, every 10-15 minutes or so to get a new ip.
My server kicked me just for testing out Zane's part of my ninjago mod. And when I try to reconnect, it gives my the "Timed out" kick message. I waited awhile, refreshed my server page, my server is still running. I am going to try shutting my server down.
Okay, I restarted my server. Do you know what happened that made the server kick me?
I can ask Development to look at your mod code on Monday.
It sounds like the problem may be in the iAmZane function. What happens if you remove the 'searching' line of code in the IAmZane function -- do you still get kicked off? Or the problem could be the init2 function title
(There's already a function with the title of init in your mod; in general it's considered safer to give functions completely unique titles not just the same name + an extra number) Or it could be that you can't use init more than once in a mod. I'm not sure. Init is like a library in that it's a bit of code pre-made by us that will pull and initialize other lines of code (not in your mod). However, it has to be called by name exactly -- LearnToMod doesn't have an init2 library I think.
Let me know if none of that solves it
I have an important function where searching needs to be true. P.I.X.A.L. is supposed to warn me when monsters are nearby, and init2 is gone now. (post continues in Ninjago Mod released! But there's a problem!)
My server is kicking me for trying to change my gamemode!
Okay so you're running into problems when running the other IAm... functions. Are you still having problems running the IAmZane function? Are any of the IAm... functions working?
Make sure you haven't gotten opped out of your server somehow. Follow these instructions then try testing a function again: https://learntomod.freshdesk.com/support/solutions/articles/12000012538--you-don-t-have-scriptcraft-evaluate-permission-or-opped-out-
I tried re-opping myself, testing Kai's part, and an explosion occured and my server shut down on me.
Okay it sounds like maybe something in the code is opping you out when it's run. I'll ask Development to look into it. We'll probably hear back from them on Monday.
By then, my LearntoMod access will have run out. And in order for my parents to buy me more time, I have to show I can do all my schoolwork.
No problem. We've added 30 more days of access to your learntomod account. When that time runs out, you can just buy another access key on learntomod.com if you want to continue using our learntomod server
MinecraftBuilder is having server problems too. The topic is here.
Thanks for the head's up. I'll answer them in that thread.
Does that mean that you're still having trouble connecting to your server world as well or is it fixed for you?
My server is good right now.

Does your Frenchie follow you wherever you go? Learn why your Frenchie is so clingy and what you can do to stop it today!
Does your French Bulldog follow you around the house everywhere you go? Can they not let you out of their sight?
If so, your dog might be what is called a velcro dog.
Velcro dogs, or "Velcro Dog Syndrome" is just another way to say that your dog is very clingy to the point where it has become a problem.
Clingy dogs, sometimes called velcro dogs, follow their owners everywhere they go. This behavior is also called Velcro Dog Syndrome. It's impo
Just as Frenchies are prone to separation anxiety, they also commonly exhibit clingy behavior. They really love their owners! French Bulldogs have been selectively bred to be dependent on their owners.
Velcro Dog Syndrome is often confused with separation anxiety because of their similarities, however, there are a few key differences. Clingy dogs are more likely to develop separation anxiety.
While you may think this clingy behavior is cute and loving, it may be caused by emotional or physical distress. A sudden onset of clinginess may mean something health-related is going on; check with your vet.
Fortunately, there are few things you can do to prevent your Frenchie's clinginess from developing or getting worse.

Postponed fest returns with hodgepodge lineup
After postponing the original June dates of Park Street Festival, organizers are rebooting the fest this month at 10 bars near Park Street. This year's slate of artists, who will perform on a main stage and a DJ stage, is a bizarre mix of B-listers from various genres. Future Modern claims it is "putting the rock 'n' roll back in techno" (was it ever there in the first place?), while country singer Alexis Gomez was an "American Idol" semi-finalist in season 14. A Saturday main stage set from local hip-hop act G. Finesse & Black Eagle is a safe bet, and various DJs will also soundtrack the party. (Think twice)

Arizona Wins a Wild One
GLENDALE, Ariz. - Defense still wins championships, right?
Just barely, if the Arizona Cardinals' wild 51-45 wild-card shootout win vs. the Green Bay Packers is any indicator.
In the highest-scoring playoff game in NFL history, the Cardinals' Kurt Warner threw more touchdown passes (five) than incompletions (four) and combined with Green Bay's Aaron Rodgers for nine TDs and 801 passing yards Sunday. Warner's passer rating was a near-perfect 154.1.
The previous high for combined points in a postseason game was 95 in the Philadelphia Eagles' 58-37 win against the Detroit Lions on Dec. 30, 1995.
The Cardinals (11-6) advanced to Saturday's divisional vs. the NFC's top-seeded New Orleans Saints at the Superdome.
"It was almost like we'll just flip the coin and whoever wins the toss wins," Cardinals coach Ken Whisenhunt said. "We don't even have to go out and play it. I'm glad we did."
A relieved Whisenhunt thought his defense would bail out his team after Neil Rackers missed a 34-yard field goal that would have won the game with nine seconds left in regulation.
"When we lost the toss, I thought our defense was going to make a play," the coach said.
That play came when nickel back Michael Adams stripped the ball from Rodgers on third-and-6 from the Green Bay 24, with linebacker Karlos Dansby returning it 17 yards for the winning TD after it bounced off Rodgers' foot.
"Destiny smiled on us this time," Whisenhunt said. "That's probably one of the best games ever played in the playoffs."
The Packers (11-6) battled back from deficits of 17-0 in the first quarter and 31-10 early in the third. Rodgers was 28-for-42 for 422 yards, four touchdowns and a 121.3 rating.
"Whew! Anybody else tired?" said Warner, who completed 29 of 33 passes for 379 yards. "What a great football game. These are fun ones when you win."
Warner, a 12-year veteran, said he would decide on whether to retire once the season ends.
"Right now, it's about another playoff game," he said. "It's about New Orleans, then we'll go from there."

Ken Williams was not a fan of consoles in 1986. According to Sierra On-Line's Tenth Anniversary catalog which recounts the story of his trip to Japan that year, he was convinced that "the Japanese had a lot to learn about the future of personal computing" and set out to try and show them what as a businessman and the president of one of the West's biggest developers.
He also witnessed Nintendo's Famicom craze first-hand and prior to seeing it, had never thought very highly about the console market in general. To understand where he might be coming from, one has to understand that his attitude was the same in the United States among many burned by the Video Game Crash a few years earlier which saw the collapse of a market dominated by the once mighty Atari.
Many in the West didn't think consoles would ever rise to the prominence that they had enjoyed during Atari's golden era in the late 70s and early 80s, an attitude that Nintendo's Hiroshi Yamauchi and his hand picked team would be fighting to overcome when they wanted to bring the Famicom outside of Japan and into the US.
Computers, on the other hand, were quickly growing in power — and accessibility — and PC gaming was experiencing its own small revolution during the early 80s as breakout titles and a host of applications created iconic studios overnight such as Sierra thanks to the work of Ken's wife, Roberta, such as in the adventure genre. At least in the West. But the attitudes towards computers in Japan were a bit different.
A combination of factors worked against making the personal computer in Japan a breakout device the way companies in the West such as IBM had leveraged into a global market. High prices and the lack of the kind of cottage industry of clone builders in Japan worked against sparking the same kind of personal revolution that the West was undergoing.
That wasn't to say that Japanese PC manufacturers didn't build anything — they did, such as NEC whose PC-98 series came to dominate the Japanese market. Yet it was also clear that the popularity, and accessibility, of PCs in the West still far outpaced that in Japan.
This was probably what was on Ken Williams' mind having grown up and having seen first hand how PCs in the US were transforming people's lives and opening doors. Incidentally, it was also what Hiroshi Yamauchi had wanted to quietly inspire with the Famicom's expansion slot potentially making it an affordable, low cost, computer terminal.
So where did Thexder come in?
Well, the Famicom's incredible success apparently blew Ken away. And then he took a look at the games and was impressed by how good they were. The expectations he had brought to Japan did a complete 180 turn — now he felt he had to learn from the Japanese on how to make such amazing games, lessons that later went towards SCI (the system used for games such as King's Quest IV and Space Quest III).
Yet it was Thexder that stood out in his mind the most. He was "politely shooed out of three Japanese computer stores" for taking up too much time in playing the game so instead of selling something to the Japanese, he ended up buying an NEC PC-88 and a copy of Thexder to take home. People back at Sierra were hooked. Ken later acquired the license from Game Arts and it debuted in time for Christmas in 1986 later becoming Sierra's biggest seller in 1987.
Thexder's a 2D, side scrolling single-player game where you take control of a giant robot that can transform into a jet. It's also armed with automatically aimed lasers, so all a player has to do is hold down the fire button and move around to try and not get hit by what is flying at them. Transforming into a jet got players over pits and other obstacles and a shield helped to ward off damage as they fought to survive (and score) their way through 16 stages. Health was measured in energy which slowly drained after so many shots, getting hit by any of the hazards (or melting in a pit of fire), or use your shields.
The game also featured voice (such as an intruder warning on entering a stage) along with some great sound effects and music such as a rendition of Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata in the title screen. It was an action tour-de-force at the time for arcade fans and paved the way for Sierra's other imports such as Silpheed and Nihon Falcom's action RPG, Sorcerian, later on.
The game was tough, although it did allow players to continue from the last level they were in or the highest one that they had ever completed and go from there. Enemies could also be suicidal — they would often mass ram you into dying with brutal ambushes. Flying around as a jet could also be a bit tricky since colliding with a wall could turn you back into a robot, dropping you down into whatever you might have been trying to avoid. Fortunately, the levels were static and weren't randomly generated so a little memorization, or handy sketching, helped players get through them.
It was also ported to a number of machines from the venerable Apple II to DOS, the Amiga, and the TRS-80 CoCo. It was also a big title helping to show off Apple's new IIGS (the GS stood for "graphics and sound") which had come out in '86 and was touted for its much improved multimedia capabilities as a beefy 16-bit system.
Thexder had a sequel in 1989, Thexder 2 (also known as Fire Hawk: Thexder the Second Contact), and Thexder 95 (for Windows 95). In 2005, Thexder & Fire Hawk (compilation) arrived for the PC-88 designed by Hibiki Godai and Satoshi Uesaka, the original designers of the first game. And in 2009 and 2010, Thexder Neo (an enhanced remake of the first game) came out for the Sony PSP and PS3 respectively courtesy of Square Enix, though none captured the kind of excitement that the first game did for Sierra in 1987. Today, players can try the first game out for themselves at archives such as Virtual Apple ][ and see how well they might have done.
Yet the game still brings a digital tear to fans that remember its place in history in the late 80s as a special effects laden arcade shooter, something that brought plenty of pew pew excitement to PCs at the time and inspire many more to take its place. It might have only had its 15 minutes of fame, but for many, being able to transform into a jet and a giant robot blasting through enemy hordes was an experience that still haunts their laser guided dreams.

MinerGate was created in 2014 by a group of blockchain enthusiasts. It is an open mining pool where users can use their computer or mobile devices to mine cryptocurrencies. All you have to do to get started is sign-up and download the software. MinerGate provides a user-friendly GUI where you can allocate the hashing power of your computer to the coins you want to mine. They support mining for over 10 cryptocurrencies, including, Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, and Monero.
MinerGate will also calculate which coins will be most profitable for you to mine and suggest this to you. The fees on MinerGate are also very simple. There is a standard fee of 1% or 1.5% depending on the type of coin you decide to mine.
MinerGate has had a few issues with trust in the community. Many people claim that they steal some of their computers hashing power for their own benefit. One recurring point is that many users have trouble when withdrawing coins from their wallets. MinerGate claims it was a technical issue and worked to solve the problem, but this already impacted their reputation.
- Easy to sign-up and download.

SAN ANTONIO — A cow in De Kalb, Texas gave birth to four calves, a rare occurrence for the staple farm animal.
Dora Rumsey-Barling and her husband Jimmy are the proud owners of the cow that birthed the black calves, three of which were bulls.
The calves' black color comes from their father's genetics, an Angus bull.
Rumsey-Barling told KSLA News she was content with just three calves, but the fourth baby was quite a surprise.
"She lay down and the fourth one started coming out and we watched the birth of the fourth one," she told the TV station. "It was really exciting. The adrenaline was flowing with us!"

There is a lot of talk lately about product branding, even personal branding. Branding in this sense, is described as promoting a product or service by identifying with said product. This is like being known by the friends you keep, who you emulate, etc. Branding is not new, it is as been around for a long time. Joshua addressed this topic with the Hebrews when he told them to choose who they would serve (Joshua 24:14,15). Can you imagine seeing the majestic power of God demonstrated over and over in your life yet still choosing to hold on to gods of your enemies or own making? That is what the Hebrews were doing. Unfortunately, the problem of idolatry still exists today in the form of anything we give more importance to than we give to God.
In Second Chronicles 7:14, as the people lamented to God, they were reminded that they had created their own problem by rejecting His "brand". In His mercy, then and now, God gives us the steps to success; the path to change our circumstances. I am sure some rejected His offer then, just as some do today.
Why is it important to be known by God's name (or a disciple of Christ)? Webster defines Disciple as someone who follows or demonstrates the teaching of another. In other words, we demonstrate His brand. Jesus's earthly ministry showed us just how to do that. Demonstrating God's brand begins with salvation and continues with a daily living of our faith. Prior to his ascension, Jesus taught his followers (disciples) about the coming of the Holy Spirit and the role He would play in their lives. He also advised them of the Holy Spirit's three-fold ministry in the world:
To convict the unbeliever of sin by opening their spiritual eyes so that they might know
that Jesus is both God and Savior
To cause the unbeliever to see the insufficiency of their own righteousness and their need for the righteousness of Christ
To cause the unbeliever to recognize that their accuser, Satan, is already defeated; they are no longer condemned. (John 16: 7-17)
Just how do we demonstrate God's Brand? When we accept the Holy Spirit in our lives, we become empowered. The Holy Spirit acts as Christ's presence on earth, encouraging and counseling us as we battle against the forces of this world. We are given special abilities which prepare us for service to benefit and build up the body of Christ.
(1 Corinthians 12, Ephesians 4:12)
Are you demonstrating God's Brand or your own?

Day 14
Remember: being a mother is a gift.
It's true. I am blessed to have the kids I have. In light of today's shooting in Connecticut, I am going to leave it at that. Having my kids here with me tonight is indeed a very wonderful gift. And my thoughts and prayers go out to all the families affected by this unimaginable event.

Most of you who know me would venture I would be the last person to start a blog. I much prefer to engage in the physical world either painting, cooking, dancing, or spending face time with my friends and family than spending time on my computer. But after I took this photo, I felt compelled to share.
This photo represents so many of my dreams coming together. When I found out I was pregnant, my vision of what having children would be like was doing arts and crafts with them, and how fun that would be. Naive, I know. But as babies then toddlers, it was never as much fun as in my pregnancy vision. I felt I had to micromanage their process, which didn't feel right, or it would become just another huge mess and clean up hassle. Seeing this moment captured in the photo made me realize I have turned a corner as a parent, as now my kids and I can enjoy long periods of "parallel play" with all of us relaxed, enjoying the time together. I am actually surprised they like art; I certainly have not encouraged it ( I give them supplies when they ask, of course). I was not good at art as a child, and I have low expectations for any signs of early aptitude in them. Ironically, it is my expectations of aptitude and pressure on them to learn tennis that is backfiring!
The other dream realized in this photo is the location. My own art studio. After working on my kitchen table for so many years, I feel truly spoiled with a dedicated painting space. And that it can fit 5! My cousin Victoria invented a few extra easels, brought her friend Emily and some great music, and off we all went into our paintings. It was my idea of bliss! Friends, family, art, music, light, creativity, all at the same time.

April McIntyre's (@AprilMcIntyre's) review for TAKE ONE is here…
One suggests that, although it owes not a small amount to Manchester by the Sea (2016), Levaiathan (2012) [the trawler one], and Cassandra's Dream (2007), it's a film that works on the level of gestures, not even episodes - we can't believe that a guy just starts driving lorries.— THE AGENT APSLEY #ScrapUniversalCredit (@THEAGENTAPSLEY) October 25, 2018
But - there's a but - he's only really driving a lorry so that he witnesses what he sees for the moment that will riff on Fire at Sea or The Breaking Point... but with a very tenuous 'moral' choice.— THE AGENT APSLEY #ScrapUniversalCredit (@THEAGENTAPSLEY) October 26, 2018
* How much are we re-visiting The Brothers, from British t.v. (1972 to 1976), let alone The Breaking Point (1950) ?— THE AGENT APSLEY #ScrapUniversalCredit (@THEAGENTAPSLEY) November 13, 2018
* Are some scenes of violence just extraneous to the story, or even convenient pegs to hang it on ?
Especially strong acting, though, by Chiel Vande Vyvere !

Got my lip pierced today 🙂 It's an early birthday present from J.
Just another one part of my fight to be individual and to stand out from the crowd. Like my tattoo I got nearly a year ago:
I know my Mum will hate the piercing, just like she doesn't really like my tattoo, apart from the colours I had it done in, because they make it more subtle.
Next on my list is another tattoo on my left arm in this design:
This is the word "Spirit" converted into Long Branch Runes. A tribute to my Viking roots.
Another tattoo I am wanting to get is the Tree of Life in the top centre of my back with the Triple Crescent above it in tribute to Goddess Brigid (also known as St Brigid):
The back tattoo at least is a little out of range of my budget at the moment… donations gratefully accepted 😛

Imaad Wasif with Two Part Beast Strange Hexes
Published Mar 20, 2008After introducing himself to the world with an acoustic debut album two years ago, this former Yeah Yeah Yeahs touring guitarist returns with a self-released psych rock album. The psych persona suits him to a tee, as Wasif sounds completely at ease throughout this album, even if he is singing about "astral ways of love or declaring: "I am a chrysalis. While the lyrical content of Strange Hexes might not be much to write home about, its a beautifully melodic album with quite a few surprises. Opener "Wanderlusting starts off as a pleasant acoustic jam laid on top of a buzzing lead guitar, then balloons suddenly and jubilantly into a thunderous metal-via-Crazy Horse rampage, Wasif leading the way with a righteous extended solo. Unexpected nuggets of goodness like this are a common occurrence on this neat little album. If only he stopped saying things like, "you are so crystalline, then wed really be in business.

Delays and Domoic Woes Didn't Ding Dungies
September 1, 2018
Commercial Dungeness crab fishing is a risky, daunting business, and the emerging and escalating effects of climate change, state and federal regulations, and other factors have made things even more challenging, especially the past few years.
The 2018 season was no exception.
Veteran crabber John Corbin, who chairs the Oregon Dungeness crab Commission (ODCC), said concerns about low meat yields and high domoic acid levels in some areas led to the latest-ever start date in northern California, Oregon and Washington. It also marked the first time in the history of the tri-state fishery "where the fleets in all three states were kept at dock until January 15," Corbin noted.
Nasty weather and prolonged price negotiations with processors created additional delays.
Bob Eder, captain of the F/V Timmy Boy based in Newport, Oregon, said they couldn't venture out until January 28, and even then seas were rough as the weather remained unruly.
Such delays affect fishermen, especially those with smaller boats. With rising costs for maintenance, fuel and other necessary expenditures, every day idling in port means no product and no money to cover those costs or make a profit. The effect ripples through coastal communities, adversely impacting processors, wholesalers, retailers, restaurants and other marine-connected businesses. It also tears at the social fabric of fishing communities, especially the families who depend on the sea for a living.
In spite of everything, Oregon's crab fishery earned a record ex-vessel value for the second straight season, and Northern California crabbers were immersed in a great season, with landings well above normal, according to the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW).
As of July, Oregon's Dungeness crab fishermen had landed more than 23 million pounds, eclipsing last season's haul of 20.4 million and easily besting the 10-year average of 16 million, said Hugh Link, ODCC's executive director. Crabbers more than made up for the extremely late start by landing 18.5 million pounds during the first six weeks – 4.7 million in January, followed by 13.8 million in February. After bringing in another 3.3 million pounds in March, landings dwindled, as they generally do in winding down toward season's end in August.
Market analysts said average price per pound for the season as of July was $3.21, with a low of $2.82 in January and a high of $6.95 in April.
Processors initially offered $2.30 per pound – well below last year's $2.89 beginning offer. Fishermen deemed the price-point too low. Negotiations eventually pushed ex-vessel prices to $2.75 per pound, but market analysts say prices have fluctuated since, with fishermen reporting initial price drops in some areas when crab flooded the market. Quality factors into the equation, as fishermen and processors said crab were full of sweet meat, with some dealers and processors calling it the best quality they've seen in years.
Corbin said the ex-vessel value already exceeds $67 million, the highest ever, besting the $63 million take in 2017.
California Dreamin'
Northern California's fishery has scuttled back from the brink after a federally-declared disaster deriving from back-to-back-to-back poor showings from 2014 to 2016.
CDFW officials reported that as of July, crabbers had landed 14.3 million pounds, continuing a rebound that started last season and comparing favorably with previous highs since 2006, when northern California crabbers landed 17.8 million pounds valued at $30 million. Annual landings dropped below 10 million pounds until 2010, when fishermen brought in 13.6 million pounds valued at $26 million. The fishery's best years from the past decade were 2012 and 2013, with landings of 15.9 million and 16.7 million pounds valued at $51.4 million and $42.8 million, respectively.
Then disaster struck.
Landings dropped to 6.6 million in 2014 valued at $21.5 million, before plunging to 3.5 million pounds worth $12.1 million in 2015, and 3.9 million pounds in 2016 worth $11.3 million.
California's commercial fishery, which operates from Morro Bay north to the Oregon border, is split between central and northern management areas, with the Sonoma-Mendocino county line as the dividing marker. Sara Worden with the DFW Marine Region says the central management area commercial season generally opens November 15 and ends June 30, while the northern section typically opens December 1 – the usual opener for Oregon and Washington – and ends July 15.
"Efforts to open the season in the northern management area are coordinated between California, Oregon, and Washington through the Coastal Dungeness crab Tri-State Commission," Worden notes in a CDFW supplemental report she wrote about the fishery. "All three states carry out a crab meat quality test to ensure that crab are ready for harvest by the target opening date, and will delay the season opener if they are not."
In 2008, the state's legislature passed a statute mandating the creation of the California Dungeness crab Task Force, dubbed as "a grassroots collaborative approach to managing the Dungeness crab fishery."
The task force – administered by the state's Ocean Protection Council and consisting of fishermen, crab processors, and non-voting members from state agencies and non-government organizations – makes recommendations to state agencies and oversight committees about management measures, among them trap limits, harvest allocation, season opener changes, and fleet size reduction.
Until recently, meat quality was the only potential impediment to opening the season on time. But from 2014 to 2016, an unusually persistent mass of warm water that some folks dubbed "the blob" spread through the eastern Pacific Ocean. Marine researchers say a strong El Nino in 2015 exacerbated the situation by spawning a massive algal bloom, which, in turn, generated "historic levels" of domoic acid, a neurotoxin with adverse effects on human health. Marine scientists say crab meat and viscera sponge up the neurotoxin, which can build up to dangerous levels, making the crab meat unsafe for human consumption.
Worden said the 2016 season opener delay marked "the first delay in the fishery's history caused by high domoic acid concentrations."
The delay lasted six months, decimating the livelihoods of fishermen who depend on crabbing for much, if not most, of their income. Fishery managers say crabbers lost $48 million in revenue, prompting California state and federal lawmakers to request a federal disaster declaration, which US Secretary of Commerce Penny Pritzker tendered in January 2017. That set the stage for Congress to authorize the release of federal funds to alleviate some of the economic hardship.
That didn't happen until February 2018.
"Fisheries failures are a different sort of disaster," Noah Oppenheim, former executive director of the Pacific Coast Federation of Fishermen's Associations, said during the push to expedite the release of the funds. "They are not acute, they don't wipe out entire neighborhoods, but they do wipe out entire coastal communities slowly, as they wither on the vine."
Fishery managers say persistent degradation of ocean conditions generated by climate change and other factors lead to persistent declines in fisheries and the coastal communities that rely on them.
The California crab fishery will divvy up $25.8 million, part of a $200 million Congressional appropriation for nine Pacific Coast fishery disaster areas and states affected by 2017 hurricanes. The Pacific States Marine Fisheries Commission and CDFW will determine how and when to distribute those funds.
Crabbers say they're recovering "bit by bit, little by little," and this season's catch will certainly help them recover. Still, many used up savings and other resources trying to keep their livelihood afloat, and for more than a few, disaster funds would provide a much-needed boost.
Simple, Yet Complex
Oregon crabber Bob Eder calls crabbing "the simplest fishery we do in terms of species and equipment." Yet it often seems the most complex when trying to get the season underway, especially during the past few years. Yet Oregon's crabbers have fared better over time, including the past few seasons, and the Dungeness fishery remains the state's most valuable in terms of ex-vessel revenue.
Oregon crabbers landed 14.3 million pounds in 2012, 18.2 million in 2013, 14.4 million in 2014, and 14.2 million in 2016. The only glitch in that stretch was in 2015, when the catch dropped to 8.2 million pounds.
Despite the success, concerns about climate change, ocean conditions, algal blooms, and biotoxins linger, along with all the usual factors, such as weather and the normal ebb-and-flow nature of crab populations. Fishery managers are looking at new ways to deal with the on-going threat from domoic acid, especially after samples showed elevated levels south of Cape Blanco after the season opened in 2017, prompting a recall and evisceration order for the affected area from the Oregon Department of Agriculture and Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW).
"This was the first in-season biotoxin event detected in the history of the Oregon Dungeness crab fishery," said Kelly Corbett, ODFW's Commercial crab Project leader.
Fishery managers put together new rules to mitigate the impacts of future biotoxin issues, creating a management framework that "improves traceability of crab through the market chain to protect public health, as well as confidence in seafood market safety and quality," and "provides certainty" for the crab fishery on curtailing the harvest by "allowing more flexibility" for where and how closures occur if toxin levels spike.
Oregon's fishery leaders are also taking another step toward quality assurance. Or rather a step back.
In 2010, Oregon's Dungeness fishery earned certification from the international Marine Stewardship Council (MSC), recognizing the fishery as a well-managed, sustainable resource. At the time, it was one of only three crab fisheries worldwide, and the only one of the Pacific coast Dungeness fisheries (Oregon, Washington, California, Alaska, British Columbia) to receive MSC certification.
In 2015, the ODCC let the certification lapse. Executive Director Hugh Link said the commissioners felt they weren't getting market value from the MSC label at that time.
A memorandum of agreement signed in March between ODCC and The Fishin' Company – a major buyer of Dungeness crab based in Munhall, Pennsylvania – put the fishery back on course to regain MSC certification. Fishin' Company is providing financial resources and personnel, while Portland, Oregon-based ForSea Solutions is providing technical consulting for the project.
"The Oregon Dungeness crab fishery is committed to a sustainable fishery through proven methods of management," said Justin Baugh, Fishin' Company's director of sustainability. "They are focused on continuous improvement through science-based research, and we believe the ODCC should be recognized for this."
Natalia Novikova, founder of ForSea Solutions, said she looked forward to working with the fishery leaders "to showcase their sustainable fishing practices and help them achieve this certification milestone."
Link said they wanted to complete the process and "prove once again" that Oregon has "a truly well-managed, sustainable fishery."
But the real bottom line is marketability and profitability.
"Several large retail stores are now making arrangements to only source seafood with a sustainability label," Link noted. In an ever-risky business like crabbing, it could provide a much-needed anchor.

Deputy Inspector General of Police (DIG) Peace Ibekwe-Abdallah has been tipped as "the most favoured" candidate to succeed IGP Ibrahim Idris.
"On the issue of retirement of the Police IGP, Ibrahim Kpotum Idris, who, by law, has retired since 3rd January 2019 as well as our position that a senior police officer of Igbo-Southeast extraction be appointed next IGP; it remains our irrevocable position. Additionally, DIG Peace Ibekwe-Abdallah is the most favoured," the International Society for Civil Liberties & the Rule of Law (Intersociety) said on Sunday.
The foremost rights group, which has been championing the appointment of a competent Police Officer as the next IGP, said in a statement signed by Emeka Umeagbalasi and Obianuju Igboeli, Esq. said that "alternatively, any other senior Igbo police officer from the rank of DCP or CP with two to three years left in the Force can be appointed."
Intersociety advised against the appointment of AIG Godwin C. Nwobodo since he "has only seven months left in the Force having been scheduled for statutory retirement on 12th August 2019."

About Wrist Sprains
What is it and what are my treatment options?
Wrist Sprain Overview
A wrist sprain occurs when a wrist ligament is overstretched or partially torn. When diagnosed and treated properly, a wrist sprain heals quickly—symptoms are reduced and the patient returns to normal activities with minimal to no restrictions. Patients who injure their wrist and experience wrist sprain symptoms should make an appointment with a Carolina Orthopaedic and Neurosurgical Associates' (CONA) hand specialist as soon as possible.
Symptoms & Causes
Wrist sprain symptoms occur immediately after the injury. They may include:
- Bruising
- Difficulty moving the wrist
- Pain
- Stiffness
- Swelling
- Tenderness
The most common cause of wrist sprains is a fall on an outstretched arm and open hand, usually during sports, recreational activities or manual labor.
Common Treatments:
Nonsurgical treatment options treat most wrist sprains. After a thorough evaluation, a CONA hand specialist may recommend:
- Activity modification
- Anti-inflammatory medications
- Immobilization in a cast, splint or brace
- Rest, ice, compression, elevation (RICE)
A corticosteroid injection may be offered for fast-acting pain relief. Surgery may be recommended for complete ligament tears. A CONA hand specialist repairs or reconstructs the torn ligament. The wrist is placed in a splint for immobilization and protection purposes.
A wrist sprain diagnosis is made after a CONA specialist:
- Obtains an injury report
- Analyzes all symptoms
- Performs a physical examination, including wrist strength and flexibility tests
- Orders and analyzes x-rays and possibly an MRI and CT scan
Wrist sprains are classified as Grade 1 (mild), Grade 2 (moderate) and Grade 3 (severe).
Make an Appointment
with A Hand Specialist
Please make an appointment with a CONA hand specialist at the first sign of wrist sprain symptoms. Early treatment will reduce your symptoms and help you heal as quickly as possible.
what Our Patients Are Saying
Read Their Success Stories
I am happy with this practice all my questions are answered within 24 hours. Dr. Hoenig is great, his bedside manner is wonderful, he is very thorough, and makes personal calls after surgery to check on patients. I would definitely recommend to family and friends!
This has been one of my most positive experiences at a Dr's office. I was treated with respect and love. They made my surgical procedure less stressful and very positive.
These are the best group of doctors that myself & my family have ever been treated by in this field of medicine. They listen to how you feel instead of telling you how you feel. Thank you all for your caring & kindness.

FEB Central conference
April 10, 2012 at 9:14 PM Leave a comment
What a great day at the FEB Central conference today.
So great to see so many of my pastor friends. It's been awhile. I saw some of the pastors I worked with when I was on the Youth Commission, pastors I actually worked for when I was on staff with them and even some guys who interviewed me when I was looking for a new church. But the one that was most memorable was a pastor who was in my very first youth ministry as a teen, now an associate in Pembroke.
I also was able to attend some great workshops, one with Dr. Charles Price as the special guest and another about theology issues we need to be aware of that our congregations are concerned about or at least thinking about. So helpful and informative.
Looking forward to tomorrow's conclusion to the conference.
