Obtaining the cash you require in an emergency can seem difficult, and somewhat daunting, but there's no need to fret. There are numerous options available on the market which can provide you with a helping hand when you need it most, including pawn shops. While alternative financial options such as payday loans may be there to provide you with help in a financial emergency, there are numerous ways that you can ensure you are covered when you're faced with sudden expenses. Here, we're taking a look at some top tips for you to get the cash you may need in an emergency.
Having emergency savings is important, so you can prepare for the moment your boiler breaks, or for when an unexpected bill comes your way. There are numerous stages to building up an emergency fund, but one of the most effective ways is to split your savings in order to have some funds ready for an emergency situation and another section for your own personal requirements. Building up an emergency fund should be carried out as soon as possible, as this can allow you to save regularly. Knowing how much you can save, and how much is too much (for example if you're missing out on the chance to gain more interest), having a savings fund in place will help to ensure that you are covered in the event of an emergency.
If you have plenty of old items that you have never used, or that you do not use anymore, then why not sell it on to someone who is likely to enjoy it much more. It's simple to post an online ad, and with social media networks becoming involved in the marketplace atmosphere, its easier than ever to part with your unused belongings. If you'd prefer a traditional method, or you're trying to sell items which are too heavy to send in the post, then you may opt for a boot sale instead. Here, you can purchase your pitch, set up and start selling all of your unwanted items, quickly and easily.
If you find yourself between a rock and a hard place, then you may want to consider cashing in your bonds or stocks in an emergency. However, it is worth bearing in mind that cashing these in may require additional taxes or even penalties, so it is important to be completely open and aware of any issue which may occur if you were to opt for this.
There are many different options when it comes to getting the cash you need, but if you're really in an emergency, you may want to consider arranging an overdraft on your account. While you are likely to be unable to draw out cash using this method (depending on the bank), you may be able to use this as a method to pay a bill or any debt which could otherwise bounce. It is important to bear in mind the interest rates on these overdraft loans, and any issues which could occur should you be unable to pay the loan back on time.
Ensuring you have a savings fund in place for any financial emergency is generally the optimal choice, however if you are in need of help, there are a number of options which you can turn to in order to ensure your financial situation remains manageable.

schema.org W3C | Linked Data : Current Status What is Linked Data? The Semantic Web is a Web of Data — of dates and titles and part numbers and chemical properties and any other data one might conceive of. The collection of Semantic Web technologies (RDF, OWL, SKOS, SPARQL, etc.) provides an environment where application can query that data, draw inferences using vocabularies, etc. However, to make the Web of Data a reality, it is important to have the huge amount of data on the Web available in a standard format, reachable and manageable by Semantic Web tools. Furthermore, not only does the Semantic Web need access to data, but relationships among data should be made available, too, to create a Web of Data (as opposed to a sheer collection of datasets). This collection of interrelated datasets on the Web can also be referred to as Linked Data. What is Linked Data Used For? Linked Data lies at the heart of what Semantic Web is all about: large scale integration of, and reasoning on, data on the Web. Examples Learn More
Schema Markup - Rich Snippets Plugin For WordPress. Free & Easy Breadcrumbs: The breadcrumb trail indicates the page's position in the site hierarchy. Users can directly access the page or navigate all the way up, one level at a time. Events: These rich snippets focus on the events that may be organized in a locality. Organizations: Such rich snippets can be used to display the organizations or the company's contact details. Products: You can use the product based rich snippet to display product details, such as the price, the availability, review and ratings. Recipes: You can use rich snippets for recipes that include information such as preparation and cooking time, nutritional values and reviews and ratings. Reviews and Ratings: One among the important elements in a rich snippet is the review and ratings section. The highlighted area tell you that the recipe received a 4.7 rating out of 5, on the basis of 36 votes. Videos:Videos are usually displayed in a rich snippet.
Getting Started Most webmasters are familiar with HTML tags on their pages. Usually, HTML tags tell the browser how to display the information included in the tag. For example,
Avatar
 tells the browser to display the text string "Avatar" in a heading 1 format. Schema.org provides a collection of shared vocabularies webmasters can use to mark up their pages in ways that can be understood by the major search engines: Google, Microsoft, Yandex and Yahoo! 1. 1a. Your web pages have an underlying meaning that people understand when they read the web pages. 1b. itemscope and itemtype Let's start with a concrete example.

Majestic®: Marketing Search Engine and SEO Backlink Checker FAQ What is the purpose of schema.org? Why are Google, Bing, Yandex and Yahoo! collaborating? Aren't you competitors? There are lots of schemas out there. Is schema.org a standards body like the W3C or IETF ? How does schema.org relate to Facebook Open Graph? What's coming next? Who is managing schema.org on an ongoing basis? Is schema.org available in multiple languages? How do I mark up my site using this schema? Why should I add markup? This is too much work. I have already added markup in some other format (i.e. microformats, RDFa, data-vocabulary.org, etc). My website contains content that is of a type that is unsupported. Do I have to mark up every property? Why microdata? Why don't you support other vocabularies such as FOAF, SKOS, etc? Where can I give feedback, report bugs, etc.? What do you mean by "Schema Version 0.9x" that is on every schema page? Q: What is the purpose of schema.org? Q: Why are Google, Bing, Yandex and Yahoo! Q: There are lots of schemas out there. No. Q: Why microdata?
SPARQL 1.1 Protocol 4.1 Security There are at least two possible sources of denial-of-service attacks against SPARQL protocol services. First, under-constrained queries can result in very large numbers of results, which may require large expenditures of computing resources to process, assemble, or return. Another possible source are queries containing very complex — either because of resource size, the number of resources to be retrieved, or a combination of size and number — RDF Dataset descriptions, which the service may be unable to assemble without significant expenditure of resources, including bandwidth, CPU, or secondary storage. In some cases such expenditures may effectively constitute a denial-of-service attack. Since a SPARQL protocol service may make HTTP requests of other origin servers on behalf of its clients, it may be used as a vector of attacks against other sites or services. SPARQL protocol services may remove, insert, and change underlying data via the update operation.

OVER ITS 25 YEARS OF SERVICE to St. Vincent and the Grenadines, the National Insurance Services (NIS) can boast of an enviable track record.
Internal to its own operations, the NIS opened a modern headquarters in Kingstown and a Service Centre in Union Island, and today has a fully computerized operation.
And in an effort to provide an easy understanding of its workings, two publications were launched: "NIS Made Simple" for Schools and "Walk Through" for workers. In addition, the NIS on Wheels Programme, bringing the NIS to the communities, has received a "Best Practice" Award from the International Social Security Association (ISSA).
– NIS on wheels
Towards ensuring that it would not be left behind, as far as regional and internationals protocols are concerned, the NIS played a pivotal role in the region's adoption of the CARICOM Social Security Reciprocal Agreement, the adoption of the ILO Occupational Health and Safety in the Workplace, and the ILO Decent Work Age policies..
– 18th Caricom Heads of Social Security Meeting
But the NIS has not confined itself to only providing a social safety net for Vincentians. It has used its resources in advancement of the nation's development in general. In education, the NIS has provided for the National Student Loan programme.
It has supported the 100% Mortgage Finance Programme for public servants, initiated through the then National Commercial Bank.
And in direct response to invigorating the productive sectors of the economy, the NIS has supported the NCB Micro Enterprise Loan Programme, providing EC $6 million for the National Fleet Expansion Programme. This provides loans to fishers, fish handlers and vendors and other self employed stakeholders in the fishing industry.
Health care has not escaped the NIS outreach, as evidenced by its donation of Ultrasound and C.T. Scan machines, which have brought immeasurable value to the functionality of the Milton Cato Memorial Hospital.
– CT Scan machine donated to the MCMH
The retired and elderly citizens have not been neglected. They now have access to two activity centers for senior citizens in Cane Grove and Black Point, as a result of NIS partnership with the Government. The centres are served by buses, and the elderly can also look forward to the NIS Annual Day for the Elderly as an added opportunity for interaction.
The Non- Contributory Assistance Age Pension (NAAP) was instituted in 1997 for persons who were not eligible to make contributions to the NIS, but were members of the National Provident Fund. This 'pension' is also made to some indigent persons, and some displaced farmers have also benefited from the programme.Lest the impression is given that it is all work and no play for staffers at the NIS, the Regional Social Security Games provide for some exercise and sporting rivalry and the presentation of its own 'Monday Mas Band' for Vincy Mas (2008 and 2009) have ensured involvement in the cultural life of the nation they serve.
Unquestionably, the NIS has made many strides that will leave lasting footprints on the history and development of St. Vincent and the Grenadines for a lifetime.

Welcome to the Coastal Studies Institute (CSI) at Louisiana State University. The Coastal Studies Institute is an interdisciplinary organization established to foster collaborative coastal science and engineering research in coastal settings, with over twenty leading faculty and more students spanning five departments in five colleges and schools at LSU. CSI is a centerpiece of LSU's Commitment to the Coast.
CSI was established as an interdisciplinary and field-oriented research organization in 1952 to address the US Navy's needs, with long-term funding from the Geography Programs of the Office of Naval Research. Over the years, we have broadened our sources for research support, and CSI has received research funding through competitive grants and contracts from a wide range of federal and state agencies, and industrial partners.
CSI was expanded and reorganized in 2012, with support from the LSU Office of Research and Economic Development. CSI is now a central organization and point of contact at LSU that focuses on interdisciplinary coastal science and engineering, spanning the expertise of faculty in multiple colleges and schools. We actively promote coastal activities at LSU to State and Federal agencies.
Our research is interdisciplinary, including coastal geology, engineering, and oceanography, emphasizing deltaic, shelf and slope sedimentary environments. Our research capabilities include a wide range of field operations, physical and numerical modeling, and laboratory facilities, from deep-ocean moorings to beach monitoring, wave tanks, physical models, high-performance computing, and biogeochemical analyses.
Our primary research goal is to develop scientific knowledge, engineering principles, and planning tools to facilitate a resilient human presence and renaissance on deltaic coasts, which are threatened world-wide by land loss and declining water and sediment supplies. An additional broader goal is to enhance LSU research efforts in coastal and shelf-sea processes and products around the world.
CSI recognizes that sustaining human presence on deltaic coastlines is essential to healthy coastal societies and economies. Accordingly, CSI scientists and engineers work closely with the Coastal Sustainability Studio, Center for Coastal Resiliency, Center of River Studies, and other LSU units and faculty with coastal research in social science and economics, to foster a fully integrated LSU approach to the study, conservation, and growth of coastal communities and environments.

The next generation of the UK's offshore wind was inaugurated on the 12th September, 2013. Greg Barker Energy Minister officially opened the extension of the Gunsfleet wind farm that will generate 172MW, the wind farm is situated off the coast of Essex.
The 6M turbines were designed for the express purpose of being able to work at sea. They were made by Siemens and Dong Energy installed them. These turbines are more efficient and thus generate energy from offshore much cheaper says the company.
Earlier this year the two new turbines were installed at the Gunsfleet Sands III extension and are the first of the new turbines to be installed offshore. Prior to this they had been tested in Denmark on land and will now undergo three trial years to evaluate how they perform at sea. During July 2012 Dong Energy signed an agreement to purchase 300 turbines from Siemens for their wind farms in the UK.
The Chief Technology Officer, Henrik Stiesdal, from Siemens Wind Power has said that Gunsfleet Sands III is an important project for them, as I will bring out the 6MW direct drive turbines into the offshore environment.
These two prototypes underwent pre-testing under very harsh conditions and there has been tremendous progress made with the experiences that were gained from that. The turbines will now be tested under long-term conditions with normal energy production.
At a speech the Energy minister, Mr. Greg Barker said that the coalition was in the process of driving large new investment so that they will be able to deliver bills that are affordable and energy that is clean for consumers. Thus this is an important role for off shore wind farms. The Minister continued that the Gunsfleet Sand III Wind Farm offshore was a perfect innovative example.
In the past month Dong Energy began installation of a off shore wind farm off the coast of Germany and only a few days ago they received the royal seal of approval at the opening of the biggest offshore wind farm in Denmark.

Donna Shalala agrees that no-one would have wanted the health care system as it now stands in America.
That total nearly matches her contributions earned in the entire first quarter.
Ryan Nicol
U.S. Rep. Donna Shalala brought in nearly $200,000 dollars at a Monday night fundraiser hosted at the Biltmore Hotel in Coral Gables. That total nearly matches her contributions earned in the entire first quarter.
And it wasn't just Democrats who were in a generous mood Monday. Several of the attendees were current or former members of the GOP, the most prominent being former state Sen. René García.
Shalala's first quarter report with the Federal Election Commission showed $237,000 in contributions. Including refunds and rebates, that number grew to $269,000.
Now Shalala's campaign says those numbers were nearly equaled in a single night.
"In Washington, D.C. I have been fighting for affordable health care, working on dealing with climate change, protecting Venezuelans with visa extensions and so much more," Shalala said.
"To come home and have such a warm welcome from such a diverse group of people lets me know we are on the right path. I am proud to serve and humbled by those who support me and our campaign.".
Several local lawmakers were on hand for the Monday night event as well including Miami-Dade mayoral candidate and current County Commissioner Daniella Levine Cava, fellow Miami-Dade Commissioner Eileen Higgins, Coral Gables Mayor Raúl Valdés-Fauli, Pinecrest Mayor Joe Corradino and Matt Haggman, who opposed Shalala in the 2018 Democratic primary.
About 100 people attended the event, according to the Shalala campaign.
Shalala took the seat in Florida's 27th Congressional District after the retirement of longtime Republican U.S. Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen. Though the GOP congresswoman held the seat for more than two decades, it had shown signs of moving left, such as Hillary Clinton winning the district by 20 points over Donald Trump in 2016.
Still, Republicans could look to try to take back the seat in 2020, though no candidates have filed so far. But Shalala will need to keep the money flowing, as she did Monday night, to prepare for a possible challenge.

What would be the biggest possible 'lottery win' for a New Testament scholar? The rediscovery of a hard copy of Q? The recovery of a lost letter written by James the brother of Jesus? I believe both of these gifts were granted when, in 1873, Archbishop Philotheos discovered the The Teaching of the Lord, by the Twelve Apostles, to the Gentiles or, the Didache. For some reason, however, most NT scholars have been reluctant to enjoy the spoils. How badly have they been missing out? See 'An Extant Instance of 'Q'' and 'The Didache: Key to the Acts-Galatians Conundrum'.


The snow has begun to fall! With any luck the slopes will be opening soon and winter fun will begin.
With such a short season the worst thing that can happen is to get sidelined from injury causing you to miss some or all of it. Before gearing up and heading out, take the time to get your body ready to handle the fun.
When it comes to the downhill we must ensure our ankles, hips, and core are strong and balanced. Performing gentle stretches and exercises over the next month will help to ensure that you will own that powder, and not the other way around.

Individual characteristics such as self-awareness are the building blocks for self-determination, whereas ability to set goals is the outcome of self-determination. Environmental factors, such as opportunities for choice making and the attitudes of others, also contribute to self-determination.
Definition: The Self Theory emphasizes on the set of perceptions an individual has for himself and the perceptions of the relationships he has with others and the other aspects of life.
The definition of autonomous is a person or entity that is self-controlling and not governed by outside forces. An example of autonomous is a government that can run itself without aid from an outside country. Independent of the laws of another state or government; self-governing.

We have reviewed the input we received from residents, and staff discussed findings with the City Council on Wednesday July 26th. The staff report from the meeting is linked below. At this time, the City Council has directed staff to review processes for Zone Day collection, limiting haulers through attrition, and reviewing our garbage hauler ordinance.
The Council has not expressed a desire to undertake any of these processes at this time, but rather wants to learn more about the pros and cons of each to determine if they are worth pursuing. Staff will be compiling information on each and bringing them to the Council in the future. At this point, Council has directed staff to not pursue organized collection further.

I am very proud of the fact that all three of my big kids (the 'bigs') know their way around a kitchen. Each one has his/her own way of cooking and baking as well as his/her own specialties.
For Shoshana her cupcakes and omelets are the best. One of her 16th birthday presents was a cooking class with an incredible pastry chef, Jennifer Reed. I picked Shoshana up at the end of the session and saw the most beautiful turtle and sea scene decorations that had been made from fondant.
Shoshana is always trying different recipes and sharing her cupcakes with others, a trait mommy loves. Recently, she baked mocha cupcakes with cappuccino frosting. I had one bite and fell in love.
These cupcakes are very moist and chocolaty and work beautifully with the creamy, smooth, buttery cappuccino frosting. Shoshana found chocolate covered coffee beans and knew this was what she wanted on top of each cupcake.
After realizing how much I loved these cupcakes, Shoshana offered to bake them for the blog, which meant that the process would be a bit slower with pictures having to be taken each step of the way, a sacrifice of sorts for a 17 year old.
I went from baker and photographer to photographer and dishwasher and loved every minute of it. Time in the kitchen with Shoshana baking is really special for me. She even let me frost a few of the cupcakes, which is my favorite part.
Until such time as the 'bigs' decide to get in the kitchen together and make a meal, I shall treasure the one on one time that I am given. I will even try to remember to smile through all the dirty pots, pans and mixing bowls. After all, gloves were invented for a reason.
Preheat oven to 350°. Line a cupcake pan with paper liners. Set aside.
Combine coffee, espresso powder, milk and vanilla together. Set aside.
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
Beat butter with sugar and brown sugar for 3 minutes, scraping down the bowl as needed. Add the egg. Blend in ½ of the dry ingredients, followed by the milk/coffee mixture. End with the remaining dry ingredients. Be sure to scrape the bowl down in between additions.
Use a large ice cream scoop or ladle to transfer the batter evenly between the cupcake liners. Bake at 350° for 17-20 minutes. The tops will spring back when gently touched and a toothpick inserted into a cupcake will come out clean.
Mix espresso powder into vanilla. Combine butter, powdered sugar and vanilla mixture into large mixing bowl. Stir on low speed until blended. Beat on high speed for 3 minutes, scraping the bowl down as needed.
Cut a small piece off a bottom corner (not the side that closes) of a gallon size freezer bag. Place a large star or round pastry tip into the opening. Transfer the frosting to the bag and seal it.
Gently squeeze the frosting onto the cupcakes, starting on the outside and working towards the center. Top each cupcake with a chocolate covered coffee bean.
When Shoshana bakes these cupcakes, sometimes the recipe makes 12 and sometimes it makes 13 cupcakes. When I asked her why it differs, Shoshana explained to me that sometimes she does not fill the liners as high, thus giving her one extra cupcake. If you find yourself with 13 cupcakes, reduce the baking time a bit.
Yummy! What a loving gift you've given your daughter, Betsy…Lessons are undoubtedly helpful but obviously she's inherited a natural talent from mom!
Shoshana has actually inspired me to bake more cupcakes! It's funny how that worked out..tasty, too.
Hi! I'm wondering if this recipe can be adapted for a layer cake. I've been trying to find the perfect recipe for our anniversary party.
My apologies for not responding sooner. Absolutely, you may adapt the recipe for a layer cake. I have not made it but my inclination is to make 1-1/2 times the recipe for a two layer 9″ cake.


Wayanad: England Lions will be one of the innumerable stops that out-of-form opener KL Rahul will encounter in his road to redemption as he gears up to play for India A in the first unofficial Test.
The match will also feature two of India's quickest bowlers in young Avesh Khan and the not so young Varun Aaron, who will be keenly watched by the national selection committee.
Virat Kohli wants three more fast bowlers which will broaden the base of the current pool of speed merchants and that's the specific reason why injury prone not known for his consistency has been recalled.
It's all about sheer speed and same for Avesh, who has really intimidated the domestic batsmen during the season.
Rahul hasn't exactly set the stage on fire during the limited overs games having come back from an interim suspension for his sexist comments on a television chat show.
India chief coach Ravi Shastri has recently made it clear that he would like Rahul to play a lot of A games in order to regain form.
The India 'A' team's head coach Rahul Dravid also backed the Karnataka opener and said he was not worried about the batsman's run of low scores.
The India 'A' team led by Ankit Bawne, comprising domestic performers, will be favourites against the Lions, who have not had the best of time on the tour so far.
Kerala all-rounder Jalaj Saxena finds a place after a strong Ranji Trophy season as has Siddhesh Lad along with spinners Shahbaz Nadeem and Mayank Markande.
The visiting Englishmen, on the other hand, have had a tough time, being hammered in the five-match ODI series, losing 1-4 and will look for redemption.
Captain Sam Billings, who played for Chennai Super Kings in last year's IPL, has been in good form and will look to carry it into the longer format too.
The young team includes players with Test experience, including Ben Duckett and Ollie Pope.
Lanky paceman Jamie Overton has impressed with his performances and will be assisted by Tom Bailey. The spinners-Danny Briggs and Amar Vardi will have a big role to play on a track expected to be bowler-friendly on the evidence of the recent Ranji matches here featuring Kerala.
Teams (from): India 'A': Ankit Bawne (Captain), KL Rahul, AR Easwaran, Priyank Panchal, Ricky Bhui, Siddhesh Lad, K S Bharat (WK), Jalaj Saxena, Shahbaz Nadeem, Mayank Markande, Navdeep Saini, Sharadul Thakur, Avesh Khan, Varun Aaron.
England Lions: Sam Billings (captain), Dominic Bess, Danny Briggs, Tom Bailey, Ben Duckett, Lewis Gregory, Zak Chappell, Sam Hain, Will Jacks, Jamie Overton, Tom Moores, Ollie Pope, Jamie Porter, Alex Davies, Amar Vardi.

NFL: San Francisco 49ers @ Seattle Seahawks Preview
bet365 News Team Dec 15 2022
The San Francisco 49ers can clinch the NFC West division title with a win over a stumbling Seattle Seahawks at Lumen Field on Thursday night.
The Niners remain red hot after recording their sixth straight win with a 35-7 destruction of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday behind rookie quarterback Brock Purdy.
The third-stringer threw for two touchdowns and rushed for another as Christian McCaffrey arguably had his best game for the 49ers with 153 all-purpose yards and two scores.
Three losses in four games have stamped on Seattle's sparkle while an inability to stop the run and failure to shine at Lumen Field have cast a shadow across the Seahawks' playoff prospects.
What: San Francisco 49ers @ Seattle Seahawks
Where: Lumen Field, Seattle
When: 20:15 ET, Thursday December 15th
How to watch: Amazon Prime Video
Odds: SF 49ers -175, SEA Seahawks +155
Seahawks' defense has sprung a leak
Seattle's latest wobble occurred last Sunday when the Carolina Panthers became the second straight team with a losing record to enter their stadium and run all over them.
McCaffrey's former team amassed 223 rushing yards on their way to a 30-24 win that dropped the Seahawks to 7-6 and means that they would be on the outside looking in if the season ended today.
Two weeks after Las Vegas rushed for 283 yards while beating the Seahawks in front of their own fans, it reveals a worrying trend for Pete Carroll's team.
Seattle's run defense ranks 31st in the league in yards allowed and 40% of those have come in their past four games.
So, it's not a good time for the Seahawks to come up against one of the NFL's top running attacks as San Francisco rank ninth in rushing yards and yards per game.
McCaffrey making a difference
And Kyle Shanahan's offense seems to be getting more efficient as the 49ers have averaged 28.7 points per game since McCaffrey took on a full-time role in Week 8, up eight points from the period before he arrived.
The playmaking ability he provides out of the backfield has been crucial at a time when fellow running back Elijah Mitchell is out with a sprained MCL and there has been more turmoil at quarterback.
San Francisco continue to find ways to get it done in a season where they have lost two starting-calibre quarterbacks - Trey Lance and Jimmy Garoppolo.
More injury drama for Niners
And now Purdy has a day-to-day injury designation coming into this Thursday's game, although all the signs are that the rookie will shake off oblique and rib problems to start again.
He threw 21 passes, providing 185 yards of offense through the air and two touchdowns against the Bucs before recently-acquired backup QB Josh Johnson, in his fourth stint with the team, came in for 11 snaps.
And that wasn't the only injury flare-up from last weekend as Deebo Samuel suffered what appeared to be a high ankle sprain to potentially pit him out until the postseason.
Smith's success is fading
Seahawks QB Geno Smith has had a great year, but there are clear signs of regression from him in the past few weeks.
His three TD, two-interception performance against the Panthers earned him one of his lowest quarterback ratings of the season and his completion ratio was below 60% for the first time in 2022.
Smith faced the 49ers in Week 2 and managed to throw only 197 yards in Seattle's 27-7 loss in Santa Clara. He produced a dismal 6.57 yards per attempt that day and threw a pick at midfield with the Seahawks down 13-0 in the first half.

San Francisco secondary could feast again
That turnover was created by second-year safety Talanoa Hufanga, who is developing into one of the NFL's best young ballhawks.
The former USC star's four interceptions tie for fourth-best across the league and it was his deflection of a pass intended for Tyler Lockett that enabled Tashaun Gipson to complete the pick.
As a team, the Niners have recorded the joint-second most interceptions i the NFL and the most of any team in the last three weeks - five.
Priceless Lockett could be the key for Seattle
San Francisco's No.1 ranked rush defense will probably force Seattle into some third-and-long situations that will require Smith to surgically attack that secondary - but they do have an in-form receiving weapon in their ranks.
Lockett has averaged 7.67 targets, five receptions and 71.33 yards per game over the past six weeks.
The eight-year veteran rose to the top of ESPN Analytics' wide receiver rankings on the back of his showing last Sunday.
However, although the San Francisco defense is allowing 211.8 passing yards per game to rank only 12th in the league, that number decreases to 174 yards (1st) when on the road.
The Niners have allowed 17 points or fewer for six straight games and it would be no surprise if they corralled Smith and his offensive weapons in the same manner that they have done to similar - and stronger units - these past few weeks.
They have covered the spread in each of their last four games and can do so again with -120 San Francisco a solid play at -3.0 points on the Spread.

During Build 2017 the Asp.Net team shared with the world some cool features that Visual Studio 2017 has to offer in terms of Docker support. Naturally I was excited to start coding and trying some of these new features. Like any sane developer I decided to start with a hello world application as from humble beginnings come great things. I started by creating an Asp.Net Core application targeting .Net Core as I wanted to target a Linux container to try the cross-platform capabilities of Asp.Net Core.

"Had Enough" is a song birthed from a very tough time in my life. Growing up is hard and if you don't properly filter life's circumstances, they have the ability to leave you very hollow and bitter towards, well, living! By God's grace, I was able to see things from His eyes and know that each trial was brought into existence to teach me a lesson. I had had enough of trying to fit in. I had had enough of being someone who was seen as significant by those who really didn't care about my soul...So if you can relate sing this little anthem with me!
"The only thing that will change you is if you've had enough"
People often ask what my voice sounds like now being that the majority of the songs posted here are from my younger days... So I thought why not let you hear simply me... no rapper, no music, no filters. Just me being me. Hopefully you can hear just how my voice has matured over the years.
