They are great👍👍and looking forward to the improvements
I love the photography thread❤
Thank you and the team for all the help
Yvonne 💟
I also like it. I think it's more ideal indicator of uploading something as we've come to know elsewhere
As a test I uploaded the above by clicking on the Attach icon to see how the indicator works. I too think it's a valuable addition, purely because we can now see something is uploading. Before a lot of people were uncertain anything had happened and were uploading the same image multiple times. Hopefully the change should help.
ianmorland I too like the uploading indicator, it looks like we can upload any sort of file not just photos and videos?
endorphin it looks like we can upload any sort of file not just photos and videos?
This extension/plugin technically supports uploading any type of file, however for the protection of members we typically restrict to common image and video filetypes.
A photo I took yesterday at the lake and I do think it's also a great addition👍
It doesn't support .CR2 -- not that I really expect it to, because CR2 files would typically be much too large.
Uploading (or trying to upload) a 16MB .png file gives a red ERROR alert -- which is fair enough, assuming the problem is the excessive file size, though the error message ought to explain that the file is too big.
But after that the "uploading" hourglass remains forever more, which is a poor "final" response to the error condition.
harrrrrry It doesn't support .CR2
No, this is not a filetype we have allowed
harrrrrry Uploading (or trying to upload) a 16MB .png file gives a red ERROR alert
Our max image upload size is currently 8MB
I like New improvements! 🙂
I do like the uploading indicator. Hoping some of these changes will be rolled over to main site soon. Any timetable ianmorland ?
ianmorland No, this is not a filetype we have allowed
Perhaps, to avoid confusion, the file browser used to pick the file to upload should specify which file types are allowed rather than "All Files":
Lovely photo anth🤗and fingers crossed it happens soon👍👍
ianmorland Just giving it a whirl 🙂
Deliberately tried to upload a large jpeg, the uploading message is still running on the icon even though I got a generic error box, not the red ones. I've tried hitting the upload button a second time then hitting cancel but that doesn't stop the uploading message and animation.
Found a random image that was small enough - 2Mb I think, and that uploaded fine, too quickly to see if the uploading message stayed, but it's returned to the normal icon now.
@ianmorland the image/video upload icon has disappeared. Reverted to the old icon
So now there's x2 of them
persco the image/video upload icon has disappeared. Reverted to the old icon
yes, this is intended, but with the new functionality 🙂
Never tested whether SVGs work (thankfully they do!).
Although I have just noticed that the design team didn't update the +1 GB sprites.... Whoops!
+1 GB sprites
ianmorland great news 👏.

At first sight they are quite similar to the others in the rest of the world. Hipsters here are easily recognized by their nearly identical outfits – Converse sneakers, skinny pants, grandma's sweater, t-shirt with a print, a film camera, Moleskin notebook and an iPhone.
These educated trend setters chose to be active and relaxed at the same time. Sometimes they are criticized for their clone-ish appearance and accused of incapacity to invent, produce and deliver, which I think is totally untrue. Look, we are sitting in one of the trendiest places in Amsterdam created by hipsters, who follow the trend of healthy and raw eating did a great job of making it happen. We love this place!
In my opinion Amsterdam is a city of hipsters. Always has been and always will be. It's only the appearance has changed, but the spirit of young, pro-active and relaxed generation lives and will go on. I believe that this is what really attracts tourists to Amsterdam from all over the world. Today these young guys and girls are making their dreams come true, which is fantastic! Look, how many new and trendy places they set up in Amsterdam! I highly recommend to everybody coming to Amsterdam to discover hip places. Here are some of my favs.
Cafes/ Bars:
- Venkel
- Coffee and coconut
- Sky bar Hilton
- Sky lounge in Okura hotel
- The Duchess
- Lot sixty One coffee roasters
- Sky Lounge Amsterdam
Hipsters area in town:
- Amsterdam Oost
- Amsterdam Zuid

Speaking at the opening plenary session of the European Cancer Congress (25–29 September 2015), she said that future developments will come from the fields of genomics and immunotherapy – and others – working together. The tumours with the highest load of somatic mutations, such as melanoma and lung cancers, may be the ones that present most new antigens to the immune system, she said. So the cancers which have been most difficult to treat may in the end respond best to immunotherapy. In this EJC News Focus, Caroline Robert explains more about the science and its implications to Helen Saul. Page last modified: 30 October 2015

British Marine Federation
The British Marine Federation is the trade association for the UK Marine Leisure Industry, with membership drawn from both the seagoing and inland sectors of the marine industry and supporting services.
Organised by The British Marine Federation, Concept Boat is an annual competition, now in its fifth year, intended to encourage interest in the design of future boats and to show the global small craft industry how they believe boating should develop. The Competition covers the full range of recreational and commercial/working boats, and each year has a different theme.
Alchemedia was commissioned to design the identity for the competition at its inception, as well as a variety of supporting marketing material. The look had to be very contemporary and something to challenge many of the traditions within the boating industry. As the competition looks to the future, and embraces unconventional, cutting edge design, the branding had to reflect this.

The Vice Councillor for Tourism and Sport has welcomed the possibilities of the project.
Our President, Alberto Medel, met in mid-March with Diego Ramos Sánchez, Deputy Minister of the government, with a view to discussing the future projects that our Association will carry out in Andalusia.
Both parties agreed it was essential to greatly involve Andalusia in this effort which, as Alberto reflected: "It represents the first and true globalisation of humankind, as people from all five continents were involved In the adventure".
The vast experience of the Deputy Minister helped us to advance some of the proposals that we had in mind and, based on his advice, we have immediately started work on the themed magazine of the event, which we are sure will have full support from the Andalusian Government.
There are many important proposals that we will be developing in the vicinity of Seville and Sanlúcar de Barrameda and, of course, Andalusian Tourism will be potentially favoured.

This season is all about the stripes. Although the navy and white Breton is a great staple in any wardrobe, this season there are many more interesting options available on the high street.
No need to avoid horizontal stripes for fear of looking wider, the placement of the stripes and stripes of different widths confuse the eye and actually have the opposite effect!
Stripes look great with a simple pair of jeans…….frayed, flared, cropped, take your pick with the amount of denim styles around at the moment but this season I am going to style mine with a leather biker jacket, quilted handbag and wide trousers for a 'Chanel Thug' look!
Top, left to Right:
Top Shop Bardot £39, This great green striped top is also rocking the cold shoulder look for the season.
Ted Baker Tribal £89, cute little crop top. It also has a matching skirt. Personally I would style it with a high waist fuller option
Karen Millen Stripped jersey £55, love this soft jersey, three quarter length sleeve top. For a clean look I would style it with a black cigarette pant.
Bottom, left to right
Paul Smith Jumper from Yoox £180 , This lightweight silk and cotton jersey makes a great trans seasonal piece in your wardrobe.
Oasis Breton £38 , The tangerine stripe offers a fresh colour option. The button detail on the cuffs are really cute!
Warehouse Cream Stripe £18 (sale) I actually bought this at full price (£46) so its now an absolute bargain. I was swayed by the funnel neck and the burgundy sleeves, that said I have had plenty of wear out of it waiting for spring!

Holy Ramadan Enlightenment Post No. 11 :: Dimensions of the Inner Knowledge
Ramadan Mubarak Spark :: Knowledge & Prayers for Advancement
Eleventh Night of Holy Ramadan :: May 15, 2019
Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim
In the name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful.
Ya Ali Madad and Ramadan Mubarak! The 24-hour clock the Muslim calendar starts sunset, therefore, Wednesday, May 15, 2019 is the eleventh night of the Holy Ramadan for Ismailis in Canada. The background, overview, schedule, niyat and noble wishes of the 2019 Holy Ramadan Project is presented separately on the fundamental concepts page of this directory. Please go through it as often as you desire.
Ramadan Activities
The motivation for this 30-day project is to increase the intensity of prayers during the month of Holy Ramadan. For this purpose, 30 posts for each auspicious night of Holy Ramadan have been prepared. Each post will consist of four parts:
Part 1: Enlightenment Teachings from the Holy Qu'ran
Part 2: Excerpts from 'A Code of Conduct—A Treatise of the Etiquette of the Fatimid Ismaili Mission'
In 'al-Risāla al-mūjaza al-kāfiya fī of Ahmad b.Ibrāhīm al-Naysbūrī has written the following gem:
"[§17] Inner knowledge breaks down into many parts."
"[§18] Among them is sensate knowledge, which involves comprehension of the lower hierarchy and of legal actions, their interpretation and the wisdom in it, and understanding everything that pertains to acts that can be seen or perceived by a person."
"[§19] A second is cognitive and imagined knowledge, which involves the knowledge of higher hierarchy and the numbers, and the comprehension of ideal forms whose reality cannot be seen or sensed by the senses, but only appreciated in thoughts and imagination."
"[§20] Then there is intellected knowledge, which comprises the understanding of things as they truly are, knowledge of causes, and their beginnings and endings."
"[§21] These are three stages, the first is like mother's milk for the infant. It is for the novice, like sensory knowledge in the process of his instruction. The second resembles his becoming educated and associated with imagination, and the knowledge articulated to him. The third is like attachment to him of intellect upon the acquisition of which he attains his majority, and he becomes responsible for what he does in respect of his having attained legal maturity which is not subject thereafter to change and alteration."
"[§22] That which only sensed is apprehended by the five senses; that which is imagined is apprehended by thoughts; and that which is intellected is abstract reality itself. A person who apprehends something by the senses moves up to thoughts and he thinks about it until he moves up to intellectual comprehension, by which he judges between truth and falsehood and comes to know its reality in the science of religion. They say that sensed knowledge is the science of law; the imagined is the science of interpretation; and the intellected is the true explanation that never changes. Each one has many branches and a variety of openings for interpretation. "(Source: Klemm, V. and Walker, P. E., A Code of Conduct—A Treatise of the Etiquette of the Fatimid Ismaili Mission, pp.43-44)
Part 3: Dhikr Tasbi
Let us perform the luminous dhikr of Noore Karim, Daaras-Salaam with utmost humility and tenderness of the heart (length 2 min 59 sec; 4.1 MB). The lyrics for the 40 beads are given below:

Climate: Energy Use
Re "Burying a Mountain of CO2" (Feb. 10): Turning carbon dioxide from power plants into rock and burying it is a good idea. An even better one is leaving the carbon dioxide that is currently buried as coal safely underground. We can use efficiency technologies to reduce our demand for energy. And we must phase in renewable energy technologies, such as Iceland's geothermal and our own wind and solar technologies, to meet that reduced demand.

H.I.V. Drugs: A Failed Trial
Re "A Failed Trial in Africa Raises Questions About How to Test H.I.V. Drugs" (Feb. 5): Despite high rates of infection and many years of public education, H.I.V.-related stigma persists in sub-Saharan Africa, as well as in the United States. It is possible that women's reluctance to adhere to the prevention regimen, known as PreP, in the Voice study was, in part, related to stigma. Multipurpose prevention technologies are products in development that combine contraception with prevention of H.I.V. and other sexually transmitted infections. Some formulations include the same antiretroviral as in PreP, but there are many others in the product development pipeline. Many researchers and women's health advocates are hopeful that this combination approach to prevention may be more acceptable to women because they will see this as a form of family planning, which is generally less stigmatized than H.I.V. prevention, and can be accessed in familiar health care settings.
An overwhelming 93 percent of respondents in a recent multicountry Ipsos Healthcare study, funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, reported that they would choose contraception combined with H.I.V. prevention over a single-indication form of prevention. Delivering H.I.V. prevention in combination with contraception is worth the investment. The potential impact on women's global health justifies further research.

Space: Business Plan
How disappointing to read no dissenting voices in "A Business Plan for Space" (Feb. 10), which simply assumes that private parties should be allowed to own extraterrestrial bodies. Should not the F.A.A. and the United Nations ensure that space remains a public trust and not a market commodity for private corporations to fight over? Giving well-financed entrepreneurs control of access to space and its resources could only stifle the kind of research that would deepen our understanding and appreciation of the cosmos and our place in it. Furthermore, if we are unwilling to exercise stewardship of this planet's resources, we should not permit space cowboys to plunder asteroids and other celestial bodies.

Health: Ebola Tool
Re "Ebola Challenges a Hands-On Tool" (Feb. 10): A technique taught and used in Europe, but rarely taught or used in the United States, for palpating the diastolic pressure is a change in the character of the pulse after detection of the pulse at the systolic reading. This change correlates with the disappearance of the sound on auscultation. I learned this technique many years ago at the National Heart Hospital in London and continued to teach this method, checking it with auscultation. It is accurate and can be used under circumstances mentioned in this article.

Early Trends Among Seven Recommendations From the Choosing Wisely Campaign. Controlling Waste: What's in it for Us? Choosing (Medicine) Wisely: Good Answers for Good Questions The big medical news of the past week was about common sense restraint, rather than scientific advance.
It was, mostly, about when not to use the medical technology at our disposal. I refer, of course, to the "Choosing Wisely" program, set in motion last year by the American Board of Internal Medicine (my home turf), and emulated now by nine medical specialty organizations representing such disciplines as internal medicine, radiology, family practice, cardiology, and oncology. The extensive media coverage that has ensued has, in my opinion, spent too little time on the root problem: why over-testing, which reports suggest may account for an incredible one-third of all health care expenditure in the U.S., developed in the first place. There is passing reference in most articles I've seen to profit, implying that's what this is all about -- greedy physicians who need more policing by their professional colleges -- and then the subject is dropped. Why do excessive tests get done? -fin Dr. 1) Patients' experiences of treatment burden: so much more than a series of physical side effects!
Living with a long term condition is hard work.
No-one would argue that coping with chronic pain, breathlessness or fatigue isn't difficult, nor that health services and professionals shouldn't do what they can to try and relieve these symptoms. The benefits of medication, surgery and rehabilitation are undeniable; they save lives and reduce symptoms for millions. But in the search for cures, have we underestimated the costs and disruptions that treatments generate for patients? And when patients 'fail' to follow health professionals' recommendations, why do we assume that the problem lies with the patients and not the treatments? These are important questions that the Minimally Disruptive Medicine movement and our recent review paper seek to address.
Looking at this list of impacts, I think it is clear that the experience of treatment burden is much more than the list of medication side-effects it is often equated to. Like this: Like Loading...

At the Welsh NHS confederation conference in January 2015, the Minister for Health and Social Services endorsed the prudent healthcare principles proposed by the independent Bevan Commission, following a year of vigorous discussion and debate.
Below are the final four principles set out by The Bevan Commission: Achieve health and wellbeing with the public, patients and professionals as equal partners through co-production;Care for those with the greatest health need first, making the most effective use of all skills and resources;Do only what is needed, no more, no less; and do no harm.Reduce inappropriate variation using evidence based practices consistently and transparently.

Henri Farny "Professional" Alto Horn in Eb
No case or mouthpiece included
There are lots of dings and dents throughout the horn. Valves 1 and 3 and most of the slides move well for an instrument of this age and condition, but the 2nd valve is a little sticky and the 3rd valve slide is completely stuck. Additionally, there is a brace on that slide that is broken.
The horn includes two extensions for the main tuning slide, which when removed allows you to play in high pitch. Besides the engraving on the bell, there is only "Paris" engraved on the receiver and an "8" on the 2nd valve casing, which may be the serial number (single digit!). Could make a cool lamp or restoration project.

Dental Implants An Overview
Dental implants provide patients with the most natural looking and functioning tooth replacement when compared to traditional options such as dental bridges and dentures. Consisting of several parts, a dental implant replaces not only the visible part of the tooth above the gum but the lost tooth root in the jaw. Dr. Alan Dechter and Dr. Matthew Moy provide comprehensive implant dentistry under one roof, offering a consistency of care and advanced techniques for the best possible patient experience.
Replacing teeth is important for both the aesthetics and health of your smile and should be done as soon as possible to avoid the onset of more complex dental problems and changes in the fit of the bite. This can limit treatment options and detrimentally impact your quality of life.
We place all types of dental implants to replace one, several or all of your missing teeth.
Why Choose Dental Implants?
Dental implants have become the "gold standard" of tooth replacement due to the important benefits they provide for overall health and quality of life:
- Secure, permanent restoration: dental implants are designed to last a lifetime, secured permanently in place with the implanted post.
- Restores natural chewing ability: with dental implants, there is typically no need for dietary restrictions that minimize slippage of a denture or bridge.
- Confident speech: a stable restoration allows patients to speak normally and restores confidence in social and professional settings.
- Reduces bone loss: the implanted post stabilizes bone where the tooth root was lost and minimizes changes in the appearance of the jaw and function of the bite.
Am I A Candidate for Dental Implants?
Dr. Dechter or Dr. Moy will evaluate all aspects of your dental health and discuss your overall physical health to determine if you are a good candidate for placing dental implants. Key elements to consider are bone structure and health in the jaw, the condition of your dental health, medical conditions that can affect your ability to heal and your cosmetic goals.
Most patients will be considered good candidates for placing dental implants thanks to the many advances made in recent years. New materials and techniques enable us to address bone loss and other concerns that may have prevented patients years ago from receiving a dental implant. Bone grafting, periodontal treatments, and other procedures can be performed prior to placing implants to address issues that could affect your long-term result. We work with all of our patients on an individual basis to assess their needs and provide treatment that is personalized, compassionate and designed to support long-term oral health and wellness.

Have you ever heard God ask something of you and it seemed so radical. . . so impossible. . . that you PAINFULLY wrestled with Him throughout the night?
I definitely did. . . almost four years ago, one night when God told me to move my family to Texas to start an international training center. He wanted me to reproduce my heart in others so they could live the same lifestyle I do. For fourteen years, I have lived totally free from guilt, shame, and condemnation; my heart burns with a Godly conviction everywhere I go. I'm just so in love with Jesus!! God wants that for all of us.
I wrestled with God all night long. The next day, I shared the word that God had said to me with my wife...and my wife's "Yes" confirmed what God had said. We needed to move to Dallas. When I finally said, "Yes Lord, I will do it," our obedience put faith into action, and God has continued to amaze us with what He can do with a simple, "YES."
I made a super short video for you guys to tell you about what God's doing now, what we are doing, and what our part is to continually answer "Yes, Lord...we will do it.
Watch: Raising Up Fiery Ambassadors
I'm praying for you all, that your obedience be quick when He whispers a big, giant dream into your heart. I'm praying that your answer will be "Yes, Lord. I will do it."

There may be reinforcements on the way for Vegas as Nikita Gusev, the 26-year old Russian who was traded to the Golden Knights by Tampa Bay as part of the package to draft Jason Garrison in the expansion draft, could be in Vegas soon.
You can read Gusev's Dobber Prospects profile here.
Nothing is a done deal yet. Gusev is under contract in the KHL through the end of the month, which means some negotiating will need to be completed, and the Russian Federation has recalled him ahead of the 2019 World Championships, which is another hurdle. Then he has to actually make his way to Vegas and suit up. All the same, it would be exciting to see him in the playoffs.
Just a small thing, but Ilya Samsonov, Washington's top goalie prospect, was on the ice for morning skate on Thursday. Barring catastrophic injuries, he won't get into game action, but it's still pretty cool to see him on NHL ice nonetheless.
Just for a bit of fun, there was an article over at The Athletic from Sean McIndoe about the "what ifs" of the draft lottery. These are games involving teams near or around the picks that would end up in the top-3 and how things would be different if small little quirks in those games hadn't gone the right way. Hockey is about razor-thin margins, even when it comes to draft positioning.
The Leafs were flat-out the better team in Game 1 as they skated away with a 4-1 win over Boston. The speed from Toronto, combined with precision passing, led to odd-man opportunity after odd-man opportunity for the team. They even got a short-handed penalty shot when Mitch Marner broke free on a penalty kill (he converted). Frederik Andersen had to make 37 saves, but a lot of those saves weren't near the quality of shots Tuukka Rask was facing at the other end.
Something to note: Jake Gardiner played 16:32 in this game, fifth-lowest among Leafs blue liners. That's the second-lowest mark of the season for him, his lowest being 16:30 in the game he was injured on February 25th. The Leafs were nursing a 3-1 lead for much of the game so maybe Mike Babcock was just saving him unless they desperately needed him? Just something to keep an eye on.
Andrei Svechnikov scored a pair of third-period goals to make things interesting for Carolina, but Washington's Lars Eller tallied an empty netter to seal a 4-2 win for the Capitals. At least for the first 20 minutes, this looked like a game between a defending Stanley Cup champion and a (mostly) young team with several players playing their first postseason contest.
Nicklas Backstrom had a pair of goals, including a beautiful curl-and-snap shot that beat Petr Mrazek on the glove side, using the Carolina defenceman as a screen.
John Carlson played over 25 minutes, registering three assists, two blocked shots, and four hits along the way.
Matthew Tkachuk scored a pair of goals for Calgary, one on the power play and one into an empty net, to help lift the Flames to a 4-0 win over Colorado in Game 1. The Avalanche were stymied by Mike Smith, who saved all 26 shots he faced for the shutout.
It was an excellent game for Mikael Backlund, whose line was matched up against Nathan MacKinnon all night, had an empty net goal, seven shots, two penalty minutes, and a couple hits. He was all over the ice, and easily Calgary's best player in this contest.
Andrew Mangiapane scored the first goal of the game, which ended up being the game-winner. It was a pretty filthy goal, to be honest. Our own Grant Campbell wrote about Mangiapane and other rookies on Friday morning.
Not sure Colorado has to do too much different, given they controlled long stretches of the first half of the game. They just need to get shots past Smith.
Yesterday in these Ramblings I talked a lot about defence scoring trends. While there is a lot more to dig into, which I will dig into at some point in the offseason, I want to look at actual defence scoring. Let's go through some of the offensive performances across the NHL this season.
There is a whole lot going on here. Coming into the season, Gustafsson was a 26-year old who'd been drafted by the Oilers in 2012, spent a few post-lockout seasons in Sweden, bounced between the AHL and NHL for a couple years, and then exploded for 60 points this year.
Of course, what stands out immediately is that he shot over 10 percent. That's pretty high for a blue liner. For reference, in 2017-18, Alex Goligoski shot 10.1 percent and followed that up this year with a 2.9 percent season; in 2016-17, John Klingberg shot 10.5 percent and followed that up in 2017-18 with a 3.9 percent season; in the same year, Nick Holden shot an insane 13.1 percent and that crashed to five percent in 2017-18. That isn't to say every defenceman with a high shooting percentage always craters – Shea Weber has usually done pretty well – but the odds aren't in Gustafsson's favour.
That isn't to say Gustafsson's season is a fluke. When looking at additional stats like the rate at which he exits his zone or enters the offensive zone with possession and how he can find his teammates for shots via shot assists, we certainly see how good he was. Here's how his 2018-19 season compares to the 2017-18 season another top-end puck-moving defenceman (from CJ Turtoro's viz):
As I wrote about yesterday on Eric Cernak, one season does not make a career, but despite the high shooting percentage, it was a marvelous campaign for Gustafsson.
The question is if he maintains his power-play role; he had more than 100 minutes at five-on-four over the next-closest Blackhawks defenceman. Henri Jokiharju looked great whenever they allowed him to play in the NHL and Adam Boqvist was a top-10 pick last year for the franchise and has been tearing up the OHL playoffs to the tune of nine goals and 12 points in eight games. It seems certain that unless he falls off the map (he won't), Gustafsson should have the PP role for 2019-20. Beyond that? Less certain.
Speaking of Krug, we can only wonder the season he would have had if he had played 80 games. Among defencemen in the league this year, Krug:
- Was third in points per minute behind Mark Giordano and Brent Burns
- Was first in totals assists per minute
- Was eighth in primary points per minute
- Was third in primary assists per minute
- Was 18th in shots per minute
Krug set a career-high in assists for a single season with 47 and did so in just 64 games.
It was just a marvelous season all around, but the true upside was limited by injury. It's worth noting that his missed time was out of the norm for him; in his five previous seasons, he had never missed more than six games and averaged 79 games a season. I wouldn't worry too much about some lingering injury history.
With Krug still in his prime and that Boston team loaded for another run next year regardless of how this year turns out, I would expect more of the same from Krug.
When using the Dobber Tools report generator, we can easily find which defencemen led the league in individual points percentage (IPP) at even strength. IPP is the rate at which a player garners a point when a goal is scored with that player on the ice. You will typically see the elite defencemen; last year, the top-5 included Burns, Krug, Pietrangelo, and Klingberg. The year before it was Burns, Hamilton, Karlsson, Jones, and Shattenkirk. Some guys find their way into the top-10 with some luck – names like Skjei, Severson, and Braun appear – but they're mostly top-end puck-movers. That's what makes this list from 2018-19 so interesting:
The two names that really stick out are Vince Dunn and Brandon Montour. We'll save Montour for another day.
Dunn has long been thought of as an offensive defenceman. He had 99 points over his final 120 games in the OHL and had 45 points in 72 games as a 20-year old rookie in the AHL back in 2016-17. That we see him among the leaders in a category that helps point us in the direction of puck movers shouldn't be a huge surprise.
Here's the thing: there's not a whole lot to support that Dunn is a top-end puck-mover from the blue line (yet). Without inundating with charts, his zone entry/exit rates and shot-assist rates pale in comparison to someone like Gustafsson. It's worth noting that these numbers, specifically shot-assists, were a lot better in 2017-18 than in 2018-19, and this season's tracking data isn't yet complete. Maybe his numbers improved a lot in the second half as the rest of the team improved with him. I'm more than willing to give some time for more data to be collected before making a final determination.
All I'm saying for now is that I'm leery of predicting some sort of Gustafsson-esque breakout. There is still Alex Pietrangelo's ice time to contend with and Colton Parayko isn't someone to just eschew. Of course, Dunn is still just 22 years old, so the fact that we're even talking about the possibility of him being a good playmaker from the blue line is a very good sign.
Neal Pionk
When we look at the list of top producers per minute from the blue line at five-on-four, most of the names make sense. We see Krug, Byfuglien, Yandle, Hedman, and Rielly, among others. The defenceman who finished second in points/60 minutes at five-on-four this year (minimum of 100 minutes)? Yeah, I kinda gave it away. It was Pionk. In fact, over the last two years, he leads all defencemen in points/60 minutes on the power play. Yes, all defencemen. Granted, it's limited ice time (140 minutes or so), but it's been an unbelievable run.
I think a bit of caution should be used here. Pionk had a poor season defensively, as much of the rest of the team did. Tony DeAngelo had a good season for the team even if David Quinn wouldn't play him every night. Kevin Shattenkirk is still lurking and I'm sure he'd like to have a rebound season of his own. I'm not entirely sure what the Rangers are going to do on the blue line next year. I'm not entirely sure the Rangers know what the Rangers are going to do on the blue line next year.
All I wanted to point out is that there could be some sneaky value should A) Pionk be a regular next year again and B) no one else is brought in. There are a lot of moving parts that can change in the next 5-6 months.
Just wanted to include what a great season Hronek had. The 21-year old was among the top-10 defencemen in relative shot share at five-on-five. That's in the league, mind you.
Hronek had 13 points in 22 games after his recall from the AHL in the middle of February, including nearly 22 minutes of ice time per night. By that point, the team was casting off, or getting ready to cast off, tradeable assets like Nick Jensen and Gustav Nyquist. Mike Green's season was nearly over by that point. All this is to say that Hronek did fairly well down the stretch considering the Red Wings were largely a one-line team with Andreas Athanasiou providing some additional scoring. Pretty good for a rookie defenceman.

Collaborative Classification of Large, Growing Collections with Evolving Facets A collaborative system is proposed to allow users to collaboratively organize a collection with an evolving faceted (multi-perspective) classification schema. Through users? collective manual efforts, and significantly assisted by the system, the faceted classification evolves with the growing collection, the growing user base, and evolving user interests. This proposed project will build a test bed using US Government Photo Multimedia Collection, a large federated multimedia collection containing some of the nation?s most precious multimedia documents. The current federation is practically inaccessible in terms of searching or browsing objects across multiple collections. The project will demonstrate that collaborative faceted classification is effective (e.g. better precision and recall) and efficient (e.g. less time to build and maintain) in supporting exploration of a large, growing collection of objects of various types. The final deliverables of this project include a system supporting collaborative faceted classification, tested on a significant sub-collection of the US Government Photo Multimedia collection. The system includes novel user interfaces, schema enrichment/construction algorithms and automated document classification techniques. The deliverables also include a tested methodology that allows instantiation of the same system to other large collections.
Based on this concept, we created a demo site. Please, visit the following link.

I Too Am A Jehovah's Witness
by Earl Taylor
2/21/2010 / Testimonies
When I was starting out in the ministry, I was anxious for the church to grow and I wanted the town to hear what a fine preacher I was. I looked for opportunities to attract new faces from our small town of Hector, Minnesota.
The local weekly newspaper sold the top two inches above their mast head for advertisement or announcements. For five dollars a week, "I could declare to the town my sermon title."
During the 1960's, the Jehovah Witness's built a new Kingdom Hall in town; the coffee shops buzzed about what they stood for and where this new group came from. In this small, very Lutheran town, anything non-Scandinavian was looked at warily and talked about widely.
It was time to state my case to the town, so I had the paper declare, "I too am a Jehovah's Witness," followed by the time of our Sunday evening service at the Hector Evangelical Free Church.
We had a crowd that night, especially after 24 adults from Kingdom Hall showed up to hear this hot-shot preacher explain his newspaper declaration.
The 24 sat in the back row with their arms crossed across their chest. I took off preaching by declaring that I too was Jehovah's Witness: to his faithfulness, to His grace, to His mercy, to His Salvation, to His kindness, to His love, to His forgiveness.
Our regular worshipers were nervous throughout the service: nervous at the thought of "what am I going to say to the 24 Kingdom Haller's?" and nervous that their new pastor might be flogged and hung out to dry by 24 irate Kingdom Brawlers.
"I became so excited about the topic, I ended the evening by declaring, "Ohhh and next week, part II." There was no part II, but I knew I had seven days to prepare.
Forty years later when I was getting ready to be wheeled into heart surgery, my daughter, Bethany pinned a tag to my gown that said, "Jehovah Jirah " I survived a stroke, the surgery, and my wife's driving. "God is with me."
I am now an 80 year old retired preacher and I don't use the banner in the local newspaper to declare my positions anymore. I do declare it to those who will listen. I do shout it loudly, that my Jehovah does go before me, and I am His witness of His wonderful love and grace in my life.
Jehovah Jirah!

I had to pee. I proceeded to the bathroom. As I let loose, one Mindylove walks in unannounced (she's 4). I turn for cover. She freezes at the door just half smiling at me. I want her to leave so I search my mental Creole Dictionary- eureka!- I say "gade". She doesn't leave. I say "Gade!". She stands there befuddled. I yell out "Hello!?" for someone to rescue me. Silence. I turn and look over my shoulder at Mendylove with a stern face and say, "GADE! KOUNYE A!". Nothing. So, I finish, walk down stairs and see Diana in the kitchen. I say, "Mindylove doesn't listen to anything?!" Peeking her curiosity, I explain the whole situation. I told Diana how I repeatedly said "leave" and she blankly stared at me. I even confidently explained to Diana what I said in Creole to Mindylove in my retelling. Then, revelation. "Gade" does NOT mean "leave"... It means "look". Which means I said, "look. Look! LOOK! NOW!" So that was kinda funny/ubber creepy.
Speaking of Creole, there are constant reminders of my desire to speak it fully. Last night I had a discussion with one of our closer Haitian friends. It was dark and the generator had not been turned on yet. The stars burned bright. So, out of nowhere I had this convo:
Me: Did you know that the sun is a star.
Woslin: (curiously) No…
Me: Did you know that the sun is WAYYYYY bigger than the earth?
Woslin: (shocked) No! Is the moon bigger than the sun?
Me: (shocked) no….
And that's where that conversation ended. I cannot explain in Creole that the moon is closer and it appears bigger. I cannot explain that the world is far bigger than they ever could imagine. They have never seen a map and if they have they have no idea what it means. Many have not even been to the ocean like 3 miles away. It's still shocking…

Dare 2 B Embody Ski pant - Very stylish!
I have a teenage daughter who is very slim and fashion conscious so to get a ski pant to fit was a tall order BUT these look great. Nice and slim on the leg but still a bit of stretch allows movement whilst skiing. Lots of different prices for these on the net but GO Outdoors was the cheapest. A good value purchase!!

The circle handcrafted bespoke jewellery made from shungite protects the body against emf rays, wifi routers and smartphone 5g networks. The country will be networked with 5g cellular towers transmitting tiny rays which can penetrate the body shungite can help protect your body.
If shungite is a new concept to you, then maybe looking at it from the perspective of a wealthy mineral instead of crystal might save a lot of your valuable time. By doing so, you would feel more centred in the use of shungite in various aspects of your life. Shungite Circle Pendant is a valuable protector which can help the immune system fight free radicals from emf's. Going for such a spiritual stone from thousands of years ago originates from Russia which local people name it "Black Gold" and "The Defender". There are books and blogs that can always certify valuable knowledge about this mystical stone than can send you down the rabbit hole as many locals believe shungite came down from another planet on a meteorite as it's only found in one part of the world. There are a wide variety of shungite pendant shapes to choose from. There is petal, pebble, circle-in-circle, rhomboid and trapezoid - all bespoke designed to accessorise your your body. Toxins are everywhere around us - in water, air, food. It can be hard to avoid them during a in society as everyone has smartphones and wifi is everywhere. Unlike most semi-precious stones and gems, Shungite has been explained as a tool in modern society to repel emf's. One of the first French researchers to write about Shungite was Regina Martino. Her odyssey to the properties of Shungite in the form of an e-book has been in read allot online as people are looking to protect their family against electromagnetic fields.
There is a history to this stone that makes us anxious about its nanomatrix. Shungite Circle Pendant addresses to some of the possible legends that surround the ocean. Like, what could they possibly be doing in the bed of the ocean for so many years after the Precambrian era? Shungite used in the making of this pendant has been derived from the deposits of the seabed that were left in there to develop through the years only to make the living simple yet fabulous years after their finding. Though born out of a deposit, Shungite has a very specific nanomatrix that has been the prime focus of several researches. According to the scientists, it is the matrix and the binding of the fullerenes within that make Shunite capable of doing what it does. It's a hot topic in the western continents these days. Most researchers and scientists are leaning towards making it possible for humans to cope with the negative effects of ionizing radiation by confronting the governments to provide safety measures for the public and shungite could help in this quest.

After School Fishing
I am taking a class right now - meets four Saturdays, two Tuesdays and two Thursdays (once a week). Today was the first Saturday meeting - it was also the first day of class, but it was a hard pill to swallow going to class on a Saturday... After class, I went fishing down at Hickam. I broke out the 13' Nitro light whipping rod. On the second cast I caught this little guy. The rod is certainly softer than the St Croix Triumphs I have back in WA, but not so soft it can't set a hook. Really balanced action. But the length puts some leverage demands on the wrists - the length helps launch the terminal tackle a really long way out. Nice way to "decompress" from class (the class is actually really fun so not much decompression needed)!

Best Electric Brad Nailers That Will Give You The Best Results
A brad nailer is handheld power device that you use to drive brad nails into wood. Many people tend to confuse it to a finish nailer, but the brad nailer is smaller.
Due to this, you can use it to attach small molding and trim to your woodworking project. Are you looking for the best electric brad nailer? Continue reading.
The nailer uses brads which are special types of nails made from 18-gauge wire. The brads feature a fragile head that leaves a smaller nail hole after you have sunk it into the wood surface.
Since you make a tiny hole, you need little wood filler to finish the piece. In most cases, you don't even need to fill the hole.
Brad Nailer
Stanley TRE550Z Electric Staple/Brad Nail GunThis electric staple delivers convenience, versatility, and efficiency on the table.
The design
The first impressions have a great impact on whether you buy a tool or not.
The electric bran nailer is made from plastic, but the construction is sturdy and ergonomic.
When it comes to the shape, the staple gun has a pretty shape, and you can comfortably rest your arm on top of it without getting fatigued.
Power penetration
Since no two pieces of wood are the same, this brad nailer allows you to adjust the amount of power that you use on a given wood.
If you are working on a soft piece of wood, you should choose the Lo mode. On the other hand, if you are working on dense and hard planks, you should choose the Hi mode.
Nail gun
The device has an outstanding driving power that allows you to even use it as a nail gun. This feature is essential when you have to work with sturdy materials such as hardwood.
The feature allows you to drive nails into thick walls and decking easily.
The feature also saves you money as you don't need two tools—one to drive nails and the other to staple them in place. The TRE550Z can do both becoming a valuable part of your toolbox.
In addition to the device having the above features, it has many others. For example, it has the quick-jam clear feature that allows you to reload it when you have nailed all the nails easily.
You don't have to worry about jamming the machine as that is taken care of. After loading the machine, you only need to start and continue with your work.
What we liked
There are many things to like about the brad nailer. One of the things that we truly loved is the simplistic and ergonomic design.
The simple design makes it possible for almost anyone to use it. You don't have to be a skilled handyman to use it.
We also liked the design of the trigger. Unlike other pieces that are highly sensitive, the trigger on TRE550 is perfectly made thus you don't have to worry about releasing a nail without your knowledge.
What we didn't like
Just like the two sides of a coin, there are a number of things we didn't like. One is the material used in making the brad nailer.
From experience, although, not exclusive, most of the best performing brad nailers are made from metal.
This brad nailer is made of plastic. As you know, plastic tends to wear out fast without time. We wish that the device had more parts made from metal.
While this is the case, you shouldn't think that this device will come apart soon. The plastic used in making it is heavy duty, and you should expect it to last for long.
Another thing we had issues with was the length of the electric cord. The cord is only 8 feet long. We have come across many cheaper brad nailers with longer cords.
While it's not all that short, we wished it was longer. The cool thing is that you can fix the issue with an extension cord that you can easily buy from your local store.

DEWALT DC608K 18-Volt 18-Gauge 2-Inch Brad Nailer KitThis is your to-go tool for your small projects such as furniture building adventures and trim work projects.
The device has plenty of features that make it an ideal addition to your toolbox.
The device has an engine design that allows it to work as fast as possible so that you can complete your project in the shortest time possible.
Ease of control
Since this machine isn't meant for the skilled handyman, it has plenty of control features that make it easy to use.
The device has both the sequential operation mode that comes in handy when you are looking for precise nail placement and the fast acting bump operation mode that makes it possible for the device to shoot a nail every time that nose is pushed against a material while the trigger is depressed.
For the device to make it easy for you to switch between the modes, the machine has a simple switch in front of the trigger that makes it possible for you.
When you aren't using the device, there is the contact trip lock-off that disables the trigger when you are using the unit.
When you are ready to shoot a nail, the brad nailer has LED lights that illuminate the work area. This feature comes in handy when you are working in closets and tight spaces.
The main issue with brad nailers is jamming. The device has a straight box style magazine that is easy to open and load with your nails.
In the event the machine jams, there is a quick access latch on the nose that allows you to reach at the jammed area and fix the problem easily.
The cool thing is that you don't have to use screwdrivers or tool wrenches to unjam the device.
What we liked
What we liked is that the device has a sturdy construction thus you don't have to worry about going to the store any time soon. As long as you are taking good care of it, it will last for long.
We also liked that the device is very powerful and fast. During our testing, we shot over 200 nails within a few minutes which was impressive.
Unlike other brad nailers that we have used before, this one has minimal jams. We drove over 3000 nails to experience our first jam which was easy to get rid of.
The battery only power feature is great, and it can last you up to 8 hours. If you will be working for longer periods, you should have other batteries charging so that you don't stop working.
What we didn't like
There are a number of things we didn't like about the device. The first one is that the head is a little bulbous which makes the device a challenge to use in tight areas.
We noticed that when you fire the nails at oblique angles, the nails tend to glance off the wood, which is very dangerous if you aren't wearing safety glasses.
We also noticed that the driver head leaves a range nail deformation in the wood. Sometimes it might leave a small round depression, while in other times it might leave larger, rectangular depressions.
While this might not seem as a big deal to many people, it might be an issue when you are looking for uniformity in your work.
Finally, the electric brad nailer doesn't have a feature that lets you know when there are nails. The only way to know about it is to look through a small window.

Chicago Electric Power Tools 3-In-1 Stapler/Brad/Pin NailerThe most attractive feature of the brad nailer is the 3 in 1 feature.
The feature means that the tool can use staples, brad nails, and pin nails.
Due to this feature, you can use the tool in wide range applications.
You can use it to remodel your fence or even install laminate.
The design
The brad nailer has a simple design that is sturdy and durable.
Although, most of the parts are made from PVC, the unit is tough thus you can have peace of mind that it won't come apart soon.
In addition to the simple design, it has an ergonomic shape that allows it to fit perfectly in your hands.
As a result, you don't experience any troubles when working. It has a cushioned grip handle that makes the work even easier.
Trigger safety system
Many handymen have reported accidents where they leave their electric power tools only to touch them one time and injure themselves.
When you buy this brad nailer, you don't have to worry about that.
Once you are done with your work, you only need to turn the safety switch ON, and you are done. This feature not only protects you, it also protects the children that might be having in the house.
Loading chamber
If you have used other electric brad nailers before, you will agree with me that most of them have issues when it comes to the loading and reloading of the supplies.
Some of them jam too often while others have complex spring systems that function frequently.
This brad nailer has a technology that features an excellent reloading system. All you need to do is to unhook the loading chamber, insert the supplies, and go on with your tasks.
This process takes seconds; thus you don't stall your project.
Features and specifications
- Trigger lock safety
- Weight-23 pounds
- Easy reload
- Material-metal and PVC
- Dimensions-11.1 x 2.9 x 1.8 inches
- Required supplies-18 gauge
What we liked about the brad nailer
There are a number of things we liked about the brad nailer. One of them is the versatility. Since it's a 3 in 1 unit, you can use it to cover a wide range of tasks around the house.
You also don't have to stall your project because you don't have specific types of nails.
For example, if the staples get depleted, you can easily switch to brads and go on with your project. You only need to ensure that the new nails will provide you with the results that you are interested in.
The brad nailer is also affordable compared to other similar products on the market.
What we didn't like
Although, it's made from both metal and PVC, it has a lot of plastic which makes it feel as if it's made from only plastic.
Another thing is that it's not very powerful when you are working with brad nails. The unit is very powerful when you are using staples, but when it comes to nails, it's highly inefficient.
Due to this, if you are having a project that involves penetrating dense wood or any other heavy duty project, we would suggest that you stay clear of this model.

Benefits of using an electric brad nailer
There are plenty of benefits that come with using the electric brad nailer. Some of these benefits include:
Since the nail is small, it gets deeper into the wooden surface which helps you to get a better connection between the main frame and the delicate trims and moldings. Due to the better connection, your project lasts for a long time.
The small size of the nails also leaves your project looking tidier and cleaner. This saves you time and money that you would have spent to finish the surface.
If you are like most homeowners, you try to use the tool that you can easily get your hands on to achieve your intended purpose. Some of the homeowners will try to drive the small nails through small spaces.
When using the brad nailer, you don't have to jeopardize your tools by jamming them into tight spaces. When you need to drive nails through angles, you only need to use an angled brad nailer.
When to use the electric brad nailer
There are many situations when you have to use the electric brad nailer. Some of these situations include:
When you need to rupture the wood surface, but you need to pay attention to the size of the rupture: Since the brads are small, you will be able to achieve your goal. In fact, you won't be able to see them when you are two or three feet away.
When you need to connect delicate pieces of trim to the mainframe: Delicate trims are fragile and usually difficult to maneuver with. The brad nailer will help you in connecting them without putting them at the risk of getting damaged.
You also need to use the tool when you need to attach small moldings. If you have worked with the moldings, you will agree with me that they are annoying to handle.
The electric brad nailer also comes in handy when you are looking to undertake some experiments. If you are looking to test which nail or piece of wood that gives you the best results, the brad nailer will help you in arriving at the best decision.
Tips to consider when using the electric brad nailer
Compared to other woodworking nailers, brad nailers are considered the safest to use. This is because the nailers have a simple construction and the nails used are usually very small to use.
While this is the case, you shouldn't be careless in your working as the small nails can puncture your skin causing heavy bleeding and even exposing your skin to infections.
The first thing you should do when using the nailer is to ensure that you have the necessary protective gear. Since you will be dealing with wood, there is always the risk of small splinters or sawdust getting into your eyes and even into your respiratory system.
You should protect yourself from these elements by wearing a mask and goggles. When it comes to the dress, you should avoid loose clothing as the garments can easily get stuck within the machine putting you at the risk of hurting yourself.
Sometimes the units tend to make loud noises. You should protect yourself by wearing the right hearing protection.
Before you start using the tool, you should lubricate all the moving parts. This not only protects it from rusting, but it also ensures that it drives the nails properly.
You should cover the connector with Teflon tape. This is to strengthen the connection which minimizes the risk of damage or breakage.
Once everything is in place, you should go ahead and insert the brads into the tool. You should be cautious when placing the pieces. When you place them too close to the end or edge of the board, you can easily split the material thus putting your project to halt.
The type of wood that you are using has a great impact on how you calibrate the brad nailer. Before you start nailing, you should confirm the type of wood and even try the nailer on a similar wood to verify that it will work properly.
You should avoid wood knots at all costs. They usually form a tricky barrier for the brad which puts the nails at the risk of breaking. Before you go ahead with your project, check the structure of the wood.
Just like with other projects, it's common for you to have crooked brads and wrong insertions. For you to have an easy time removing them, you should have some removal tools in place.
Things to do with an electric brad nailer
As you might have guessed, there are plenty of things that you can do with an electric brad nailer. Some of the things include:
Handling home improvement projects: Whether you are looking to secure trim pieces or replace the crown molding, you can use the brad nailer to do it.
You can use the nailer to turn a lackadaisical space to a marvel by undertaking simple fixes. When using the tool, ensure that you use the necessary skills to operate it so that it doesn't hurt you or damage the material that you are working with.
Handling professional tasks: If you are a professional woodworker, you can use the brad nailer to hold things together. Using the brad nailer and special adhesives you can make cabinets, chairs, and other pieces of furniture. The cool thing is that you don't need to be highly experienced for you to use the brad nailer to create these products.
Crafts: Did you know that you can use the nailer to complete small-scale projects and crafts around your office, home, and even your classroom?
For example, you can piece together a picture frame using a few pieces of wood. You can also use the nailer to fix a picture that has been damaged.
If you have small children and you want to create models for them, you can use the nailer to do so. We can say that as long as you have the skills, the possibilities are endless on the things that you can make using the brad nailer.
Use it at the construction site: When you visit any construction site, you will find men and women using their brad nailers to secure parts of buildings and other structures.
If you work at the sites, you can use the brad nailer to nail things together around the corners and blind spots. You are not only able to achieve your work easier, you are also able to do it much safer.
Doing odd jobs: Here you use the tool to do all types of works ranging from building fences to interlocking flooring projects. As long as you want to piece something together, you can use the brad nailer to do it.
How to use the electric brad nailer
As mentioned above, one of the reasons why people go for the electric brad nailer is because it's easy to use. Before you use the nailer, you should inspect it for any issues it might be having.
You should ensure that the nailer doesn't have any operational defects or safety issues.
You should take your time to look for cracks and loosened fasteners on the tip, handle, and even on the body. If there are any issues, you should take it to a professional and have it fixed.
Avoid using it in its damaged condition as you risk hurting yourself and even damaging the material that you are working with.
You should confirm whether the battery is charged. If it isn't, you need to charge it or insert a new battery. Once you are done, you should test the electric brad nailer on a solid piece of scrap lumber.
The purpose of doing this is to ensure that the machine is working properly. If it is, it should easily penetrate the piece of wood. If it doesn't, you should consider adjusting the depth screw that you find at the tip.
Adjusting the screw should make the machine work properly, but if it doesn't, you should know that you have a malfunctioning machine that you need take to a brad nailer technician to give it a look.
If it's in good working condition, you should go ahead and use it. When using it, exercise caution that you don't hurt yourself.
When holding the machine, hold it with a firm grip. You should keep your hands out of the way when nailing to reduce the chances of injuring yourself.
When joining two pieces of material together, you should take care of how you squeeze the trigger. Before you move, you should ensure that the brad nail has penetrated the object.
The best way of going about it is to count to two before you continue with your work.
Necessary brad nailer accessories
You don't need to buy the accessories, but for you to get the most from the brad nailer, you need these accessories. Some of the accessories that you might need for your work include:
Light attachment
You need the light attachment when you are looking to adjust the grip on the work tool. All you need to do is to secure the light attachment to the nailer, and you will be able to see when hitting the intended mark.
When you are buying the light attachment, you should go for one that throws the poll of light on a specific surface. It should throw the light directly in front of where you had aimed the nailer.
The cool thing is that the LED lighting attachments are affordable and you can easily get them at your local store.
Miscellaneous accessories
In addition to the lighting attachment, you might also need other accessories. You might need handgrips for your brad nailer, magazine extensions, and many other tools and technologies.
When you are buying any accessory, you should ensure that its adding functionality to the brad nailer—not flair and style.
While you are at it, you should remember to buy high-quality brads for your machine. The last thing you want are poor quality pieces that will keep on bending or even damage your wood when working.
How to choose the best electric brad nailer
For you to choose the best electric brad nailer, you need to consider a number of factors. The factors to consider include:
The project at hand
What are you going to use the brad nailer for? This is the first thing that you should think about when you are thinking of buying a brad nailer.
When you know how you want to use the appliance you can buy a unit that has all the features that you need in your work.
You should note that different brad nailers are designed for different projects. For example, there are those that are designed for upholstery projects and others for general DIY projects.
If you aren't sure of the right one that you should go for, there is plenty of information online, and offline that will guide you.
Type of power plant that the nailer will use
Brad nailers are designed to use a wide range of power plants. There are pneumatic systems that you will find in construction sites that are used in shooting brads into construction material.
There are also gas and electronic powered nail guns that you can go for. Your choice should be influenced by your preferences and what you are looking to get from the appliance.
While this is the case, you should go for a pneumatic nailing gun if you have other pneumatic nailers that you can use on a regular basis.
This is because you won't have to buy specific fuel cells or batteries to run your brad nailer.
You should go for gas or electric brad nailers when you are looking for modern and easy to carry nailing guns.
When you buy these machines, you don't have to worry about hoses as you don't need to undertake air compression. All you need to start nailing is load the nailers with a fuel cell or a fresh battery, and you are good to go.
Special features
Different brad nailers have different features. Some have special features such as aiming systems, tracking capabilities, laser levels, built-in lighting system and many others.
It's up to you to choose the one that is ideal for you. When buying the pieces, you should note that the more the features it has, the more expensive it will be. As rule of thumb, don't buy a unit if you don't require the features that it has.
Parting shot
This is what you need to know about the best electric brad nailers and how to buy the right ones. After buying the devices, you need to take good care of them.
This calls for you to regularly inspect them for any faults and fix them as soon as they come about.

One of my unicycling goals has been to do the whole red route (no sneaky shortcuts) in less than two hours. Unlike the two-wheel cyclists on Strava I start the clock from the car park next to the cafe, not the one along the short drive. This is not so I have an excuse for the extra minutes on my time compared to theirs, it's because my parents like to have their lunch at the cafe! I will do a longer unicycling post sometime soon but I wanted to test out the fancy new GPX viewer I installed to WordPress.
