Foot of the Month – Flat Felled Foot
Using the Flat Felled Foot you can take the fear out of those flat felled seams! A flat felled seam is the preferred seam in jeans, men's and women's shirts and children's casual garments. The advantage of a flat felled seam is that the seam allowances are encased within the seam. The groove in the sole of the foot allows it to run and fell a seam easily and precisely.

Super humans or mind-controlled bots? Scientists engineering implantable microchips to bio-hack the brain
Thu, 09 Nov 2017 12:24 UTC
Speaking at Lisbon's Web Summit, Bryan Johnson, the founder of Kernel - a start-up researching the possibilities of microchips being inserted on the brain - says unlocking the true potential of the mind is the "single greatest thing" humanity can achieve.
Kernel's first step is to design chips that can help fight disease, but then it hopes to evolve the brain to offer superhuman abilities.
The firm's website reads: "To further explore our own human boundaries, a wave of new technologies needs to emerge that can access, read, and write from the most powerful tool we have - the human brain.
"We will then interpret the brain's complex workings in order to create applications towards cognitive enhancement."
Mr Johnson told the audience at Web Summit: "I would expect in around 15-20 years we will have a sufficiently robust set of tools for the brain that we could pose any question we wanted.
"For example, could I have a perfect memory? Could I delete my memories? Could I increase my rate of learning, could I have brain to brain communication?
"Imagine a scenario where I say 'I want to know what it's like to be a cowboy in the American west in the 1800s?' and someone creates that experience mentally.
"I'm able to take that and purchase that from that person and experience that."
When Mr Johnson was questioned on whether such technology could cause further divisions in society between those that do have a neural implant and those that do not, the founder of Braintree, which was sold to eBay for $800 million in 2013, said that he believes such technology will become "democratised, like smartphones".
He said: "The bigger question on this is: 'Is working on this a luxury or a necessity?'
"I don't understand what we are so scared of losing?
"I don't know why it would not be the singular focus of the human race because everything we do stems from our brain."
Comment: Sound too good to be true? As usual, the MSM is laying the groundwork, promoting new technology as a huge benefit to mankind while ignoring any potential negative consequences. In fact, this kind of technology has the potential to be one of the greatest threats to liberty and freedom in the history of mankind. Most people are unaware of the dangers which is why the technology is not being more widely opposed.
They Really Do Want To Implant Microchips Into Your BrainSee also: Our governments and corporations are steering us into a world where everyone will be microchipped
Implantable microchips that can "talk" directly to the brain would give a tyrannical government the ultimate form of control.
If you could download thoughts and feelings directly into the brains of your citizens, you could achieve total control and never have to worry that they would turn on you.
In fact, you could potentially program these chips to make your citizens feel good all the time. You could have these chips produce a "natural high" that never ends. That would make your citizens incredibly dependent on the chips and they would never want to give them up.
Reader Comments
Are these people actually aware of what they are doing ? Of how far this ''exiting'' technology can be pushed ?

Spectacular archaeology in the shadow of London's skyscrapers
Before the next Shard or Gherkin can go up, urban archaeologist Sadie Watson gets to dig down into the city's history, from Roman times to the Great Fire
THE thought of archaeology rarely evokes the smell of exhaust fumes, the sound of smashing concrete or the spark and screech of steel cables being sawn to pieces. But this is the reality of a dig in the heart of the city. "Sometimes we're digging while a building is being demolished directly above our heads," says Sadie Watson, a project director for Museum of London Archaeology (MOLA). "Safely, I should add."
Thankfully, Landmark Place – the site on the bank of the River Thames where I meet Watson – is open to the air. As her black hard hat indicates, she is the senior archaeologist on site, responsible for the entire dig and the safety of the team. The people in red hats, dotted throughout trenches and pits reinforced with steel piles, are archaeologists digging into London's past. The white hats, far outnumbered by reds, belong to construction workers, there to facilitate the dig by removing excavated earth or clearing modern debris before excavation by hand begins.
Since 1990, developers in the UK have been obliged to fund archaeological exploration before they start building, so in London the process of demolishing an old structure to build a shiny new one offers a window on the city's nearly 2000-year history.

About Him
Living… with his best friends, Anders and Blake, in a house in Rancho Cucamonga. He basically sees his house as a place to throw parties that happens to have a bed in it. As long as there's a roof to smoke and drink on, and neighbors to mess with, Adam is happy.
Profession… sales associate at TeleAmeriCorp. Adam brings his awkward nature to telemarketing with little success. He's obnoxious to his coworkers, making loud personal calls, usually to invite people to his house after work.
Interests… practical jokes. Adam takes true pleasure in the embarrassment of others and will never pass up an opportunity to trick his friends or unsuspecting strangers. Anders is frequently a victim of these pranks, having once been tricked into sending Adam a very private photo.
Relationship Status… single, for reasons unknown to him. When he falls in love, he falls hard and fast. Luckily for Adam, he gets over it just as quickly. He pursues his boss Alice with zero success, but never stops trying. Much of his knowledge of the opposite sex comes from his father's Penthouse collection, which explains a lot.
Challenge… keeping himself out of messes. Adam is the most likely of his friends to lose a ton of money and embarrass himself for life in the same night. His mouth is what gets him into trouble. He'll make promises he can't keep, boasts he can't live up to, and flirtatious remarks he can't follow up on.
Personality… dorky and dim. He's the most shameless of the group, willing to take a bit to its absolute limits just to one-up his friends. Adam is the perfect party buddy. He's a malleable partier, versed in drinking games, various ways of consuming marijuana, and strategic taco truck locations. He might repel the ladies, but he always tries to have nothing less than the time of his life.

Are desktop PCs and laptops being rendered obsolete? originally appeared on Quora: the knowledge sharing network where compelling questions are answered by people with unique insights.
Answer by Jae Alexis Lee on Quora:
The desktop PC (and to a lesser extent the laptop PC) were never things that we needed to have in the number we had them in the early 2000s. They're poor tools for what people needed, but for a time, they were the only tools we had.
Desktop computers are beyond inconvenient. You can't take them with you easily, they tie you not just to a specific building but a specific room in that building just to be able to use them. That's less than ideal for lots of people.
What the desktop PC did for us, however, was give people the means to access the internet. In the days when internet use was growing rapidly, more and more people were finding a need to be able to interact with the internet. To do that, you needed a desktop PC, so people got one. As our needs for internet access grew, we moved from the "family computer" to the idea that each person had their own computer, but they were still mostly desktops because laptops were bulky/heavy things with small screens that were mainly made for professionals who needed to be mobile.
People, however, didn't need a desktop PC. They just needed a way to interact with the internet.
With the introduction of smartphones and tablets, we now have alternative devices for accessing all of the wonderful internet things we know and love. The people who never needed a PC for anything but internet access, now they don't need desktop PCs anymore.
There are, however, a host of tasks that desktop PCs have always been good at and are still very good at. 3D modeling and large amounts of VFX work are done on desktop PCs (and laptops more recently). Video editing, software development, heaps and gobs of records management. All sorts of things we used desktop PCs for before widespread internet use and that we continue to use desktop PCs for.
I think when people talk about the "death of the PC" it's because they thought of the mid 2000s as normal. The 2000s weren't normal; it was a bubble where a new need could only be filled with a single device. Now, we have other ways to address that need. The bubble has passed. The percentage of people using/needing a desktop (or laptop) PC has probably grown since pre-bubble days, but the falloff of people moving away from desktops and laptops is starting to level out as we get back to where things were before.
I don't see desktops and laptops becoming defunct any time soon. But for some things that we once could only do from a desktop or laptop, we now have alternatives that integrate better with people's lives.

Another show centered around KISS? I know, you're shocked. We're fans. We love KISS. Deal with it. There will be lots of opportunity to discuss the merits of new, fresh bands like Britney Fox and Pretty Boy Floyd in later shows.
Chris Czynszak reminds everyone of his discovery of KISS on Dial MTV in 1987 and his brother's reaction and guidance to the more 'pure' era of the band. But Chris still has a soft spot for that non-makeup era of the band. He also makes mention of the recent passing of Eddie Balandas, a close confidant of KISS during their heyday as well as the iconic intro voice on the Alive II album from 1977. He will be missed.
Aaron Camaro shares his memories of first listening to Animalize as well as his monthly pilgrimage to the local record store to build build his KISS album collection.
Obviously, we're not going to reveal what Aaron & Chris' choices were in these here show notes. That would be anti-climactic and stupid (I know, like this show right? Thought I'd go ahead and pre-insult us). Every non-makeup era album will be mentioned on the show but not every album will be represented in our Top 5. We aren't including any of the compilations or live records from that time since Let's Put the X in Sex is certainly not going to make either of our lists anyway.
The non-makeup era of KISS is largely ignored by the musical public but is beloved by those of us that discovered the band during this era. The albums they released during those years are snapshots of a simpler time in our lives and the concerts were some of the best nights of our lives. This episode of the Decibel Geek Podcast will cover the ever-changing state of KISS through the non-makeup era. You'll hear thoughts on Vinnie Vincent's huge contribution to the Lick It Up album as well as an update on his most recent musical output. Mark St. John gets a quick mention in this episode that probably lasts longer than his actual tenure in the band. Bruce Kulick and Eric Singer are discussed and, of course, no discussion of the non-makeup era is complete without mentioning Eric Carr. By the way, check out the new album released by the estate of Eric Carr titled Unfinished Business that features song very cool Eric-written tunes.
Chris & Aaron are both big KISS fans but they definitely have differing opinions on certain aspects of the non-makeup era. You'll hear them debate what they loved and what they hated. This was a fun episode to put together and think you will enjoy it as well. If you don't, you're not out any money so whatever.

Turning Traffic in to AdSense Traffic
There are many ways turning traffic in to AdSense traffic and here is a short list of them with a description for each.
If you've been running AdSense ads on your site for quite a while and you feel that you aren't making as much cash as you could, in 99.99% of cases you're right. Most people feel frustrated that they cannot generate the revenues they expected, and this is down to traffic levels as well as click through rates..
The first thing that you need to do is tune up your site's contents. While for some people this isn't an option (if you're running a forum for example it's a lot harder) most people can make their AdSense sites veritable cash cows.
To begin, you should find out what your site's keywords are. This is a basic technique in SEO (search engine optimization) known as keyword density verification. A good tool for this job is SEO Density Analyzer.
You should then take this list of words and search the Overture Search Inventory or Google AdWords Sandbox to find out what other words could be doing better then what you currently have.
From that point on try to keep your site focused on the things that appear mostly in the keyword suggestions you receive. Try to include those keywords, or at least some related keywords as often as you can in the links on your site.
Because of the way Google AdSense works this is a sure way to increase your earnings because you'll get better ads in your AdSense banners, similar to how you would get a better Google PageRank
It's also important that you continuously add new pages to your site. This is very important, as the more pages you have, the higher the chance is that you'll get more hits on your ads.
It's also very important that you choose the appropriate formats for your AdSense banners and the best locations for them. While this is a much wider subject you should generally know that the top three Google AdSense formats are: 336×280 large rectangle, 300×250 medium rectangle and 160×600 skyscraper.
Make sure you choose the appropriate colors for the ads, as making them too different from your site's content (or just different in a bad way) is sure to make visitors regard them as banners which have nothing to do with the site itself.
Make sure these ads are positioned where they'll generate the highest amount of profit. Most times, that location is said to be right before the beginning of your site's actual content.
On pages with a long text body, you might find skyscrapers to do better, simply because users get exposed to them for more time. Also, for sites with news or similar items, you might find a good position to be at the bottom of your content, because that's when people are finished reading your story and are looking for something else to do.
You should use more AdSense units if you have a lot of text on your page. Just make sure not to overdo it because you might find that you will get a lot lower CTR and lower revenues then you were getting in the first place by employing this technique inappropriately. You can add as many as three units, so use them wisely.
There's a Google AdSense Preview Tool that will let you visualize what ads would get served on your page and it can come in very handy as a testing mechanism.
Just make sure you respect the AdSense policy regarding click fraud. As a pointer you could place a picture next to your ads, just make sure to leave some room in between in order to make sure this isn't regarded as encouraging visitors to click the link.
Of course there are more ways to increase AdSense traffic from your site, but these should serve as a good starting point for income maximization. To find out more please click on the following link:
How to Add Google Advertisements (Google AdSense) to Your Blog or Website
SEO for AdSense
If you've been using Google's AdSense on your pages you obviously feel the need to somehow generate even more traffic for your website, which in turn would translate to more AdSense click and a higher income.
But how do you do this? Well, the major way you'll get visitors to see your website (other than using AdWords, which is encouraged as well) is to use some techniques to have search engines send more and more users towards your page, by ranking high in search results for your topics of interest.
Believe it or not this is a technique, better known as search-engine optimization or simply SEO. So here are a bunch of tips that come handy under every amateur or professional optimizer's belt.
The first thing you need to take care of is the actual source code and layout of your page. This has to be kept as simple as possible. The problem comes when AdSense and the search engines themselves begin to have troubles in extracting the most relevant keywords on your site because of a too complex layout.
Secondly, try to have each one of your pages target only one specific topic. This way it is a lot easier for them to get indexed properly and for the AdSense ads to be consistent with the content of the site itself.
Also, try not to include too many hyperlinks in your page as well. This also means you should try not to use too many AdSense ads on your page either.
If there are certain keywords you wish to target, make sure the word you wish to target is present in the title, in the first paragraphs as well as in the name of the file. While you're at it you might want to ensure the word springs up in the page's last paragraphs.
And of course, it's very important for your content to have original and compelling content. How do you do this? Well the easiest way to do it is to find something you're really passionate about. That way, providing you give it a lot of effort you're bound to have a great page quite fast.
If the content you use in your site is in the public domain (which is highly discouraged) make sure that you at least give it an original title, and add an opening and a closing paragraph of your own.
This takes a little while, but if, after waiting, you still can't find your page near the top, you should try rewriting your title and your first and last paragraphs. It doesn't take much often just changing a few words will give you the right results.
And of, course there's the use of keyword tools that may aid you in finding some good keywords to include on your page that will drive visitors to your site more and more.
So those are about the basic techniques in search engine optimization. You can find a lot of computer tools to aid you in doing this, and of course, Google is a great place to search for this.
In the end, you'll find that SEO is a complex topic, and entire books have been written on the topic as well. You might find that you have a lot of optimization you need to do in order to get more and more visitors to your site and clicking those precious AdSense banners.
Google PPC: Content or Search?
When advertising with pay per click Google gives the advertiser two broad options. Advertising in search results, advertising in websites content or indeed many choose to do both. Advertising in search means that results are displayed in Google under searches, and in its distributors search results.
Google content advertising applies to those websites who choose to incorporate "AdSense" into their websites. As AdSense rapidly expands, it is now viewable on millions of web pages throughout the web. However, many advertisers are shunning this in favor of merely advertising in search results.
There are several reasons for this, and the first is trust. This has been a result of smaller websites, through to AdSense empires choosing to embark on Click Fraud. Although this issue occurs in search it is far less dominant.
Those who commit Click Fraud on search are those trying to weaken a competitor's ROI. With AdSense the same applies, along with the website owner trying to increase his revenues using similar tactics.
Another reason why website owners are choosing to market out with content is the motivation of the buyer when he is on a website. Someone who is on a different website, other than the advertisers might be there for entirely different reasons.
For example a website discussing the disadvantages of AdSense, would actually return adverts for those selling "AdSense Websites" for example. People may click on it, but they are unlikely to buy after reading a negative review.
The other reason could be that the person on the AdSense website was actually looking for what is the best color palette to use. The person therefore would not find the advert relevant, but might click on the advert in a care free manner.
AdSense websites are also often rejected by the advertiser because they feel it involves more administration. Checking through websites to see how relevant they are, and editing their bids to ensure they still appear on a page.
With some words having a network of over 500 websites, it is surely a tedious and expensive task. Although this is the case, many also find that their AdWords account returns websites, that don't even appear to be trying to support their keywords.
The examples which are ripe, are those advertising under legal phrases who appear on AdSense websites "terms and conditions" and "privacy policy" pages.
Although many are rejecting content advertising, there are still those who feel it provides a similar ROI to search. A reason for this can be found through in the fact that more and more advertisers are only choosing search.
As this occurs the advertiser has less competition so the price of the word reduces. Advertisers are also finding a good ROI from publisher's websites who decide to actively promote the advertiser's services within their content. An example of this can be realized from when someone is discussing printing services, and actually directly recommends the advertiser's services.
This is a positive move for both the publisher and the advertiser, and a good way for publishers to move forward. Despite this, publishers still have to remember, to not be too obvious in doing this, or savvy buyers will definitely calculate the publisher's intention.
Another reason why advertisers are opting for content is to increase their scale, however this can also be done across other search engines. The fact however still exists that those who choose content advertising should choose the Google AdSense network.
It is regulated far and above yahoo's and others equivalent whilst its superior network of publishers means the advertisers will benefit from being able to spread their message through a diverse range of websites.
Despite AdSense being the best PPC content distributor, it certainly doesn't compare to search for the advertiser. On search the leads are more qualified, more regulated, and less fraudulent.
This has seen advertisers consistently choose search over content. Despite this advertiser's should always test AdSense and see if it can provide the ROI they are looking for. Some advertisers say that content provides a better return for their business than search.
This varies however in general search remains King for PPC advertisers.

SITA is providing wireless connectivity on the
ground to Air Mauritius' new fleet of Airbus A350 aircraft,
keeping the new-generation aircraft connected to the vital
back-end systems no matter where they fly.
In October 2017, Air Mauritius introduced the
first two new-generation Airbus A350 aircraft with a further four
expected to join the fleet over the next few years.
Donald Li Ying, Vice President – Information
Systems at Air Mauritius, said, "As Air Mauritius begins to
introduce a new-generation of connected aircraft such as the
Airbus A350, it is vital that we have a partner that can support
the transfer of data both in the air and on the ground. This is
vital to leverage the full benefit that connected aircraft can
bring to the airline and our passengers."
The Airbus
A350 is one of the most advanced aircraft flying today. It brings
with it a unique complexity with large data exchange in its own
unique protocol – Media Independent Aircraft Messaging (MIAM).
This is designed to exchange large amounts of data between the
aircraft and ground systems using multiple communication channels.
SITAOnAir – SITA's sister company focused on
connected aircraft – has developed a solution to understand this
complex MIAM communication and simplify integration into airline
systems and processes. Additionally, Air Mauritius wanted this
exchange over Inmarsat SwiftBroadband (SBB). This required
SITAONAIR to work closely with all stakeholders, including Airbus
and IBM, to ensure the successful launch of A350 operations and in
the process, hosting the entire service in the SITA ATI Cloud.
At the gate, SITA's wireless connectivity allows
the airline to quickly and securely exchange vital aircraft
information generated during flight with both the airline's own
systems as well as with Airbus and IBM. At the same time key
information ahead of the next flight can be uploaded, including
passenger and flight information.
This connectivity allows for rapid exchange of
aircraft information which will help Air Mauritius speed up
aircraft turnaround times while ensuring seamless management of
the aircraft's systems by ensuring complete connectivity globally.
Maneesh Jaikrishna, SITA Vice President Indian
Subcontinent, Eastern & Southern Africa, said, "These new aircraft have become flying data
centers which rely on world-class connectivity in order to
exchange information on everything from engine data, passenger
requirements to updates at the destination. This requires
reliable, fast connectivity no matter where the aircraft finds
itself. At SITA we are working with airlines globally to support
that connectivity and ensure that the full benefits of connected
aircraft can be unlocked."
A total of 30% of airlines are already operating
connected aircraft within their fleet and 73% of airlines will
either operate or have taken delivery of connected aircraft in the
next three years, according to SITA Air Transport IT Insights

Can Social Software Change the World? Loomio Just Might
BY Micah L. Sifry | Monday, February 18 2013
After nearly fifty years of development and roughly twenty years of mass adoption, the Internet hasn't created many truly useful tools for groups. We may live in the age of "ridiculously easy group formation," but if you've spent any time as part of a group, you know that all the most popular internet tools --email, list-servs, blogs, chats, and wikis --basically suck at group coordination. None of these tools are built to make it easy for large groups to make decisions together. But a new upstart from New Zealand called Loomio, born in the fertile ashes of the Occupy movement, may have cracked the code. Read More

A bad blogger, I know that. I don't update enough. I don't have anything to update though! No news. House is still on the market so we can't progress with the adoption process. No sold house, no move.
On the positive side, we have another showing today. We are the most shown house that our realtor has listed...so why hasn't it freaking sold!?! I try to tell myself to be patient, with this market it just takes longer...but I'm not a patient person, so it's very hard!
On another note, I have managed to really piss off AF. She came on May 13, left on the 18th, then returned on the 23rd in the form of heavy spotting with occasional blood. Couldn't she just leave me alone? I'm STILL SPOTTING. Not cool. I have to go to the dr on Wednesday to see what kind of crap my body is doing to me this time. Frustrating. Can't my body just cooperate? I mean, it can't give me a baby, so can't it just do everything else right? Wouldn't that be the nice thing to do? grrr.
I'm so excited. I'm going Here next month. I won the trip on Wheel 0f F0rtune in December, and the show aired in March. I also won $10000 cash, it was so freaking awesome! I didn't post about it on here because I didn't want some freak to find my blog and watch me on tv...sorry to those who would have liked to watch it, it just wasn't worth the risk to me. I hope you all understand!
Also, I'm a freaking Greys Ana.tomy adict. I can't stop watching it! I started watching it this year, and had to borrow my friends copy of seasons 1 and 2 so I would be completely caught up. Now its off for the summer and I'm going through withdrawls. Come back already! :)
Well, I better get back to cleaning. I need a spotless house for the showing today. I'd say I'll try to post more, but I'm not really good at keeping that promise. I'll do my best...hopefully I'll have time to post on Thursday to update from my doctors appointment.
Oh yeah, Hell's Kitchen starts on Monday! I love that show! WooHoo!

OMG, I'm such a GA freak! :) Also, regarding your house... if it hasn't sold yet it's usually PRICE! Think about dropping it down if you need a sale. That is icky though. Also be sure to get rid of any 'personal' items and keep all your windows open for good lighting. Keeping a house clean while selling is SUCH a hassle. Have FUN on your trip! That is so exciting and you deserve it with such crazy things in your life.

Have you ever considered how each generation stands apart from others based on its age and unique experiences?
Think about it for a moment. What major political, social, or pop-culture movement has impacted your life? What experience do you share with those in your peer group? Was it the day JFK was shot? Or when the Challenger crashed? Do you remember OJ Simpson's highway chase? Or seeing the news report as 9/11 was unfolding? These events, traumatic as some of them may be, shaped your life and bond you with others in your generation.
Maybe it's not so much a national event that depicts your generational experience but rather the social norms and entertainment that marked your early adulthood. Do you remember the first rotary phone or first portable phone? How about a black-and-white television compared to a flat screen TV? What about when gas was less than a $1 a gallon and milk was no more than $2? The world around us is ever-changing, along with social norms, technology, and life-altering events.
While we can't help but be shaped by what we've experienced, but those differences sometimes cause divides between us instead of bringing us together.
In addition to our own experiences, we're also under the influence of the generation that comes before us. Our parents, teachers, coaches, and pastors all speak their values into our lives. Understanding these values, which are a by-product of experiences, can actually lead to healthier relationships through removing the barriers for connection.
When we understand each other, we'll be more like to reach toward one another.
So what would it look like to really understand the experiences we each come from and how our values shape the way we choose to do life?
Imagine how appreciating one another's unique perspective could be a bridge-builder toward deeper relationships.
Imagine the impact on your role as a leader in working towards growing a stronger team, especially if you need to bring together each member's individuality to function together as a whole.
Understanding the different generations is key in building a community that functions well together — whether at home or work or ministry. But you don't have to spend hours doing the research for yourself. I've already done it for you!
Impact Together: Biblical Mentoring Simplified is packed with information about the different generations, including:
- specific examples of core experiences
- the types of core values of each generation
- cultural prevalent messages
- preferred communication styles of each generation
- a close look at the various myths we believe about the generations
The Impact Mentoring Online Training Course, built upon Impact Together, brings to life the information on generational differences with a short but comprehensive video presentations.
Wouldn't you agree that if we want to know how to best reach into the heart of the next generation, then understanding how they think and feel is critical? And as leaders, wouldn't it be equally important to understand those who have come before us, so that we can reach toward them and invite them to still walk with us on this journey?
Let's be bridge-builders between the generations together, for the sake of mentoring, ministry, and godly impact.
But let's not just focus on our cultural differences. Let's dive into Scripture to unpack a framework for the way God wants us to interact. Join me for part 2, where I'll walk us through Romans 12 as a step-by-step framework for connecting in light of our generational differences.
If you'd like to bring this topic front and center in your ministry, let's begin the conversation here.

NBC is hoping that a fresh approach in 2018-19 will reverse a downward ratings trend for its regular-season NHL broadcasts.
"With the impressive growth of fan interest in non-traditional NHL markets combined with the emergence of a number of rising stars, we felt the time was right to broaden our Wednesday night schedule and evolve the brand," said executive producer and president of production for NBC Sports and NBCSN Sam Flood when his networks' broadcast slate for the new season was announced on Monday.
"Fans will still see plenty of games between traditional powers, but our new approach to Wednesday nights – including a record number of doubleheaders – allows us to show more rising stars and more Western Conference and Canadian teams than ever before."
According to Sports Business Daily, regular-season NHL viewing across NBC and NBCSN dropped to an average of 471,000 viewers in 2017-18, the lowest number since the network's current 10-year broadcast-rights deal began in 2010-11. But the surprising Vegas Golden Knights helped draw big numbers during the Stanley Cup playoffs; Kevin Allen of USA Today reported that NBC's broadcast of The Washington Capitals' Cup-clinching win over Vegas in Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Final was the league's most-watched playoff game in 16 years, drawing 6.714 million viewers.
Alex Ovechkin's Capitals have long been a favourite of the NBC schedulers and for years, Ovechkin's battles against Sidney Crosby of the Pittsburgh Penguins were a key element of the NBCSN's "Wednesday Night Rivalry" broadcasts, which were introduced in 2012-13.
That concept has now been shelved in favour of the more generic "Wednesday Night Hockey," which will expand from five doubleheader broadcasts last season to 17 in 2018-19. "Rivalry Night was successful but some of (the rivalries) don't have the juice they once did when we started this 12 or 13 years ago," explained Flood.
There's plenty of juice left when it comes to Ovechkin and Crosby. Now that the Capitals have won their first Stanley Cup, their rivalry is more relevant than ever. Washington is up from 15 to 18 national TV appearances in 2018-19, including opening night against the Boston Bruins on October 3, a rematch with the Golden Knights on October 10 and three meetings with Pittsburgh.
The Capitals are the second most popular team on the NBC schedule behind the Chicago Blackhawks. Despite missing the playoffs last season, Chicago makes 19 appearances, including the 2019 Bridgestone Winter Classic against the Boston Bruins on New Year's Day from Notre Dame Stadium.
NBC has committed to broadcasting 109 games this season across its main network and NBCSN — up from 102 last season and the largest slate of games since it became the league's U.S. broadcast rightsholder in 2005.
The network is increasing its programming emphasis in three areas: more Western Conference games, more games featuring Canadian teams and more games featuring the game's brightest rising stars, many of whom are U.S. born. Some examples:
- the Vegas Golden Knights, who drew tremendous local ratings through their surprising inaugural season, are up from five to nine appearances
- Connor McDavid's Edmonton Oilers are up from three games to seven
- Auston Matthews, John Tavares and the Toronto Maple Leafs are up from three games to six
- the talent-laden Winnipeg Jets, who weren't shown until the playoffs last season, will be shown for five regular-season games
- Johnny Gaudreau's Calgary Flames, who also received no airtime last year, will get two games
- Hart Trophy finalist Nathan MacKinnon and the Colorado Avalanche are up from one game to six
But not all rising stars will receive increased exposure.
Decided to check out the "diversified NHL on NBC lineup" and here it is...Notice the goose eggs for OTT and VAN. And the huge cut Detroit took this season in comparison to years past...Chicago, of course, leads the way. pic.twitter.com/fk9FNHHXcd
— Ryan aka Dewey (@rdryan33) August 13, 2018
Despite winning the Hart Trophy as league MVP last season, Taylor Hall and the New Jersey Devils will be seen just twice, the same as young star defenseman Seth Jones and the Columbus Blue Jackets. Rookie of the Year Mathew Barzal and his New York Islanders are scheduled to make just one appearance, equal to last year. Calder runner-up and 2018 All-Star MVP Brock Boeser's Vancouver Canucks are one of two teams, along with the Ottawa Senators, that will receive no airtime.
NBC will be carrying the 2019 NHL All-Star Game from San Jose on its main network on January 26 — off cable and in prime time for the first time since 1997.
All scheduling is subject to change. In 2017-18, the network originally announced a slate of 99 games, then added three more to run during the Olympic window. NBC also made a few switches in game coverage over the course of the season.

Dreezy clears room at the bosses table.
Sleeping on Dreezy could prove costly. The young rapper has been quietly murdering the game with consistent heat. Now, she's emerged with some lavish visuals for "Where Them $ @," all while solidifying herself as one of hip-hop's notable bosses. Should you need to do business, you might be recommended to reach out. Case in point, her cold-blooded music video serves as a reminder of her formidable presence. Taking place, for the most part, in hip-hop's favorite establishment - the strip club - Dreezy's latest spins the tale of a heist gone right, with female empowerment emerging as a dominant thematic focus.
There's something for everyone in "Where Them $ @," with plenty of eye candy for the hounds, crisp cinematography for the film nerds, and an interesting narrative for those looking beyond surface level glitz. Be sure to support Dreezy, who continues to establish her presence in a game that so desperately needs it.

Tanzania: New training strategy to undo shortage of anaesthesia experts
Tuesday April 23 2019
Dar es Salaam. In Tanzania, where a population of a million people relies on a single anesthesiologist, the worry is always about the fate of women and newborn children during childbirth at the country's less-equipped rural hospitals.
However, there is another dilemma attached to the efforts being made to train and increase the number of anesthesiologists in the needy regions where, sadly, the doctor – patient ratio is quite unproportional
Yet, Alex Lwiza, a Master's student in Anaesthesiology at Muhimbili University of Health and Allied Sciences (Muhas), believes that doctors in the rural parts of the country still lack enough exposure on what anaesthesiology entails.
"Most doctors usually find it easier to go for other courses like surgery, Obstetrics/Gynaecology, Paediatrics or Internal Medicine. They say there is a high demand for specialists in those fields," he says.
Dr Lwiza, who is a beneficiary of training programs which are meant to enhance life-saving skills of anaesthesiologists at Muhas, is hopeful that one day, the shortage of experts of his caliber, will one day come to an end.
But, the question remains: How can doctors leave rural hospitals for such specializedstudies amid shortages of workforce at their work stations?
Cases abound of the medics who get admission offers to universities for Masters Degrees—some in anaesthesiology—but are not granted permission to leave because staff shortage. Some are the only—or rather dependable medical officers at their work stations, The Citizen is informed.
On top of that, Tanzania still suffers unnecessarily high rates of maternal death, says Dr Ellen Senkoro, whose organization, the Benjamin William Mkapa Foundation (BMF), works in rural areas to extend health services to the underserved.
"On average, 24 women a day fall victim to complications of pregnancy and childbirth leading to death, most of them in rural areas where access to healthcare is limited,'' says Dr Senkoro.
Among the limited services is anesthesia care which is still clouded with lack of trained staff, infrastructure and equipment, leading to high rates of preventable death and disability.
In the midst of this reality, stakeholders in Anaesthesilolgy are banking their hopes on the ongoing plans by Tanzania to come up with a fellowship program which would ensure that doctors get their necessary training in Anesthesiology at their work stations.
This was revealed recently at Muhas as the government teamed up with a US-based medical technology company, Gradian Health Systems to unveil the country's first ever skills lab for anaesthesia experts—the Anesthesia and Critical Care Simulation Laboratory.
Gradian Health Systems has joined hands with the government of Tanzania through a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) that aims to combine specialized training facilities with world-class technology to transform anesthesia care in every region of the country.
According to the President of the Society of Anaesthesiologists of Tanzania (SATA), Dr Mpoki Ulisubisya, the fellowship program, which is awaiting the approval by the Medical Council of Tanganyika (MCT), is expected to be a game-changer by bridging the shortage of anaesthesiologists in the country.
"With fellowship programs, a doctor is assigned training tasks that he/she is expected to achieve, then, preparations for exams follow," says Dr Ulisubisya.
Dr Ulisubisya says a wide-range of training programs have been put on pipeline to deal with the shortage of such experts in Tanzania.
One of them is the training of medical doctors on how they can apply new anaesthesia technologies, the Universal Anaesthesia Machine (UAM) from Gradian Health Systems.
The UAMs, according to details, can generate own medical oxygen and work without electricity. To date, more than 200 of the machines have been procured by the government and 160 have already been installed in health facilities across the country.
Alongside this, Muhas has accredited a curriculum on the UAMs, which according to the university's Vice Chancellor Prof Andrea Pembe, will enhance national and international recognition.
BMF's Chief Executive Officer, Dr Senkoro says lives of newborns and women in the rural parts of the country can better be saved through improved training of health workers and innovative technology.
Through BMF, she says, "[We] have been striving to be a hub of innovation to ensure equitable, accessible and quality health services delivery."
"We have established programs for] mentoring healthcare workers to better manage patients and at the same time raising awareness and mobilizing communities to seek appropriate care,'' says Dr Senkoro.

WSJ Uses 'Reporting' to Print Free Political Advertising for Anti-Labor Group
When you see this WSJ headline, "Illinois Scandal Spotlights SEIU's Use of Political Tactics," attached to a story in the Journal's "news" section, you'd expect there to be some actual reporting and not just an excuse to repeat anonymous, unproven or fact-free allegations and innuendo. But this is the new WSJ.
Instead, what we get from this article by "reporters" Kris Maher and David Kesmodel is just another excuse to front for an anonymous anti-labor group whose spokesperson admits that its political agenda is to air hit pieces on the SEIU in order to undermine support for the Employee Free Choice Act.
The dishonesty starts with the fact that the merits of providing workers with another option for organizing -- the heart of the EFCA -- have nothing to do with anything in the article. The anti-EFCA forces, including the Journal owners, just want you to think there's a connection to some scandal. With that in mind, here's the dishonest set up for this ad masquerading as "reporting."

It took a long, long time to happen, but now the fact is the U.S. Coast Guard has appointed its first black female helicopter pilot.
Lt. JG La'Shanda Holmes, 25, is now an inspiration on USCG search and rescue missions in Southern California because of her achievement. Colleagues believe Holmes will motivate others, especially minority girls, to aim for the sky, reports NBC news.
"I didn't grow up with a silver spoon," she said, "It wasn't perfect for me. If you don't put a limit on what you want out of life, keep dreaming. Anything is possible."
Holmes grew up in foster care in Fayetteville, NC with more than a dozen siblings
NBC news says another aviation pioneer, Lt. Jeanne Menze, mentored Holmes. Menze was the first black female pilot in the Coast Guard and flies fixed-wing aircraft.

Q: I purchased a residential property in Padstow, Sydney, in November 2011 and lived in it until August 2016. I rented the property out from August 2016 to April 2019 before selling it.
This is the only residential property I have owned, as I have lived in a rental property since August 2016. I understand that I am eligible for the main residence exemption as I did not own any other property; however, can I elect not to apply the main residence exemption even if I only owned the single property?
Given that the Padstow residential property valuation in August 2016 (when I first rented out my property) is much higher than the sales price achieved in April 2019, could I include or carry forward a capital loss in my tax return to off set against capital gains?
The reason I ask is because I just sold company shares and made a big capital gain. Using a capital loss from the residential property to off set the capital gain on shares would help reduce my tax liability.
Thank you, Michael
A: Under normal circumstances, from the time you acquired the Padstow property in November 2011 until August 2016, the property would clearly be treated as your main residence. As the property first became available for rent from August 2016, under a 'special rule' for capital gains tax you may be deemed to have acquired the property at its market value at that time.
Further, given that you did not acquire another property after you moved out of the Padstow property in August 2016, you have the choice to continue to treat the property as your main residence for up to six years under the 'temporary absence rule'.
Having said all that, due to your specific situation your question pertains to whether you can "elect not to apply the main residence exemption" because the market value of the property in August 2016 was much higher than the actual sale price of the property in April 2019.
To answer that question, we need to determine if the special rule above requiring a reset of the cost base of your property to its market value at August 2016 would apply in your specific circumstances.
Under the main residence exemption rules, the cost-base reset would only apply if "you would get only a partial exemption" because your property was rented out from August 2016, and this depends on whether the temporary absence rule would apply to your circumstances.
In this regard, as you have the choice to apply the temporary absence rule or otherwise (as distinct from the choice to apply the main residence exemption, which is not discretionary), if you choose to not apply the temporary absence rule, you will only be entitled to a partial main residence exemption as the property was used for incomeproducing purposes for a period during your ownership.
It would follow that the special rule would apply to reset the cost base of your property to its market value at August 2016. As the capital proceeds derived from the sale of the property in April 2019 are significantly less than the modified cost base of the property, it is my view that you would be entitled to claim a capital loss, and this loss can be carried forward on your tax return until such point as you make a capital gain.
The capital loss would essentially be the amount by which the cost base exceeds the capital proceeds on sale. Note that the cost base may be reduced, eg with any cumulative capital works deductions claimed for the period when the property was available for rent.

Canadians hoping to celebrate next Canada Day with a legal joint might see their summer plans go up in smoke. Conservative senators are threatening to delay marijuana legalization in Canada until the end of 2018.
"I think we have to do our job properly, and that means months," Conservative Senator Claude Carignan recently told the Globe and Mail. "The House took eight months to study [the legislation]. It will probably take the same timeline to do our job properly."
The upper chamber of Canada's parliament won't consider the bill until they reconvene on January 30. Then they'll have a week off in February, two in March, another two in April and one more in May before summer break, which runs from June 30 to September 17. So if they insist on taking a full 8 months, they won't settle the matter until December 2018.
And that could be a huge problem for provinces that have already invested heavily in legalization. New Brunswick, for instance, recently finalized plans to acquire 13 million grams of marijuana ahead of July 1, when Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's government planned to pass legalization into law. Other regions have incurred similar expenses by leasing sites for marijuana stores, and police departments have already begun acquiring new equipment and training officers to keep high drivers off the roads. So if Conservative senators drag their feet, they will put wrinkles into legalization plans across the country.
But Senator Carignan doesn't have any sympathy for jurisdictions or other stakeholders who will be financially impacted by a potential delay.
Businesses "take a risk if they adopt a plan...without legislation in place adopted by both houses," he said. "My recommendation is to take their time and don't take an unusual business risk."
Carignan says the delay is necessary to discuss issues that weren't sufficiently addressed in the cannabis bills, such as workplace drug tests, marijuana tax schemes and the impact of legalization on Canadian youth. But opponents say the Conservatives are playing politics with pot.
"This is the old system going on," Senator Frances Lankin — an Independent appointed by Prime Minister Trudeau — told the Globe and Mail. "This is the opposition trying to throw a spanner into the works of the government."
But if that's the case, the Conservatives could face backlash from colleagues like André Pratte, another Independent, who says he would join a coalition of senators to pushback against partisan delays and pass the bill.
"[If] there are people who are delaying the vote by tactics that only aim to delay, then I would be part of a group that would try to get us to a vote," Pratte told the Globe and Mail.
But there's no telling which side will win this weed tug-of-war.

Bible Commentaries
F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary
Psalms 125
Verses 1-5
THE CHRISTIAN'S FORTRESS
Psalms 124:1-8; Psalms 125:1-5
Here are three instances of escaped peril. In Psalms 124:3 is an allusion to Korah and his company; see Numbers 16:32-33. Why are we spared when others have been overwhelmed by swift disasters? In Psalms 124:4 and Psalms 124:5, as the morning breaks, we see the proud waters that have burst their banks and are inundating the low-lying lands. Why did our house escape? In Psalms 124:6 and Psalms 124:7 we have the metaphor of the ensnared bird and as the fluttering fledgling, when freed, leaps into the sunny air, so do we rejoice when God frees us. But why should we escape when so many never break loose?
Psalms 125:1-5
Jerusalem lies on a broad and high mountain range, shut in by two deep valleys. But the surrounding hills are higher, and made her almost impregnable to the methods of ancient warfare. They who trust in God live within ramparts of His loving care for evermore. The scepter of evil may sometimes cast its gaunt shadow over their lives, but it is always arrested in time. Crooked ways are by-paths. The commandments of God are a public thoroughfare. Keep on the highway and no hurt shall assail you.

angry, book of James, guarding the tongue, Halloween, heart, Holy Spirit, hungry, masks, pray, tired
1 Samuel 16:7 But the Lord said to Samuel, "Do not look on his appearance or on the height of his stature, because I have rejected him. For the Lord sees not as man sees; but the Lord looks on the heart."
As Halloween draws near, I was thinking of the masks we wear at times in public. We try to hide behind a facade, not letting our guard down with one another. I claim to be a Christian, but do I reflect a Christian image to the world? God sees us in all our raw beauty and, of course, he sees inside. All the makeup and fancy clothes mean nothing to Him! He sees our heart as He counseled Samuel to do in his search for the next king. How does your heart appear to the world? Do you walk the Christian life or just talk it?
As Jim and I were having our house renovated due to the water damage we'd experienced, we prayed fervently for the Lord to strengthen us in our Christian walk and actions. We prayed for help in remembering and reflecting the fruits of the spirit in our dealing with others. We asked God to empower the Holy Spirit within both of us to thwart our worldly tendencies. Overall, I think we did fairly well, but I nearly lost it in dealing with the men installing the new flooring. We'd been told they would arrive by 9:00AM and I'd risen at 5:30AM that morning in order to make sure our pets were fed and made comfortable before their territory was invaded by outsiders. Well, they didn't arrive until 2:35PM and all feeding schedules were stalled for the late afternoon. By 6:00PM we wondered how long the work would continue and were told they would finish in another hour. I confronted them at 7:30PM and told them I was at my wits end. Dark was closing in and my animals were not secure. I walked off to cool down and remind myself of the book of James and guarding the tongue. Jim, seeing me so upset, stepped in and told the men they had to leave. They did!
When we both had time to cool down, we wished we had acted differently. Charles Stanley always cautions to never react when too tired, too hungry or too angry. We'd reached our limit in all three cases, but still that didn't make it right. We asked God to forgive us, but we wished to have the opportunity to apologize to the men. Yesterday, we had that chance. Thank You, Lord, for Your love and guidance! We exchanged handshakes all around and they were most kind in offering sympathy for our actions.
After this, I think we both will be more critical of ourselves and less of others. Our hearts yearn to be more Christlike and less worldly. May the next test reflect our growth in this area. Our Lord is forgiving and we need to reflect that forgiveness in our dealings with others. The pets wouldn't die by eating later than usual, and although our nerves were stretched to the limit, our rash behavior didn't allow us to feel better. What would Jesus have done? He'd have borne the inconvenience and maintained His love for others. May our hearts grow to be more like His! Through patience and prayer, we will pass our next heart check-up.

Used Cameras – Should You Buy One?
I sometimes hear from workshop students and others in the photographic community that they would never buy a used camera or lens because they think it must be defective due to wear and tear. The truth is that many reputable online and store dealers have excellent used camera and lens inventories with warranties and trial periods.
