ERBIL — Iraqi Security Advisor Falih Fayyadh visited Damascus on Sunday where he met with the Syrian regime president Bashar al-Assad to discuss the joint efforts in combatting terrorism and closer cooperation to encounter the ongoing challenges.
Assad stressed that both Baghdad and Damascus had to remain independent in making decisions and survive the current crisis.
"Events at the regional and international levels require that Syria and Iraq move forward in protecting their sovereignty and independence of their decisions in view of the plans weaved by external enemies on a divide and wreaking havoc" Sputnik quoted Assad.
He noted that, regardless of the challenges and their complexities, it is ultimately at the hands of the people of Iraq and Syria to decide on the fate of their countries.

Q: Proper way to deploy ASP.net to production web server Here is how I was told to deploy my ASP.net(mostly intranet) website\program\application to the production web server in my company.

*

*Change necessary settings in web.config for production web server.

*Copy EVERYTHING of my source codes, then paste in the designated virtual directory\folder in the web server.

As far as I know, I should be:

*

*using the Publish.. or Publish Web Site in Visual Studio to generate the codes.

*Copy the generated codes to the designated virtual directory\folder in the web server.

Which is a better deploy method?
What are the pros & cons of these two deploy methods?
Is there a standard(for poor man or cheap) way to do this?

A: From my painful experience, the more of deployment process is being done manually, the bigger trouble you'll get into. And both your current steps require heavy manual effort. Here are my recommendations:
1. Use VS Publish functionality as your bare minimum
First step toward having automated deployment process is, as you are aware of, using Publish functionality in Visual Studio. With the right setup of XML transformation, this functionality will handle the changes you need to happen on web.config (and other XML-based config files).
Ideally, if you have access to production server, you can target the Publish to the production server website. This will do the copy/paste for you. Otherwise, target to an isolated Folder in your system (that you will never mistake it with the source code folder).
2. Employ Continuous Integration (CI) and Continuous Deployment (CD)
This may be overkill for small projects that are mainly maintained by sole developer. But CI/CD is the way to go if your project evolves to a monster. Here are the indicators to start using CI/CD:

*

*Your project and the team working on it become big enough that you literally cannot manual test all aspect of the website every time new changes are introduced => You need automated test, and need it done every single time someone commits a change.

*You now have multiple environments to deploy to (dev, staging, UAT, production, you name it). While creating Publish profile for each of them is still feasible, knowing when you should deploy to a specific environment will become tricky (say, only deploy to production if all your tests are passed in other environments, and your boss - aka your customer - is happy with UAT).

*You need the ability of rolling back your deployment. See how cool it is? CD could literally save you hours when something goes south with your newest deployment with just one button click.

*You want to keep sensitive configuration data from checking in to source control (say you don't want to expose connection string to your production DB to a newly-hired junior dev). The workflow with VS Publish + XML transformation makes it harder to achieve this.
There are plenty of CI/CD tools for you to start with, some of them are FREE. Currently I'm happy with TeamCity for CI and Octopus Deploy for CD (both are free for small teams).

Children who are very young or who have a high level of anxiety that interferes with the cooperation necessary for the dentist to perform treatment may require some level of sedation. Sedation may also helpful for special needs children. There are many safe and effective drugs available today that can help relax the child and promote a good environment for optimal and safe dental treatment.
For children who might be a little "nervous," nitrous oxide or "laughing gas" can be an effective, safe sedation method. We often tell parents the best thing about nitrous oxide or laughing gas is that it is really mild. At the same time we warn them the worst thing about nitrous oxide or laughing gas is that it is really mild.
For children who are more "scared" than "nervous," sometimes oral or conscious sedation might be a better option. The pediatric dentist can administer a pill or "kiddie cocktail" before the scheduled appointment to help relax the child. Today Dr. Aka no longer does oral sedation in his practice, but he works with a number of pediatric dental colleagues locally who can provide this service in case you and he feel as though that might be the best option for your child.
I.V. sedation or general anesthesia is sometimes necessary for children that are unable, by either age or maturity level, to cooperate during conventional dental treatment. Our practice utilizes a certified dental anesthesiologist, Dr. Donald Lee, for cases where the patient may pose a threat to their own safety during treatment. This will be discussed with the parent(s)/guardian(s) of the patient before treatment to ensure the optimum beneficial outcome.


Welcome to Itasca Community College's Concurrent Enrollment page. Information for high school students and high school instructors pertaining to concurrent enrollment can be found below.
Concurrent enrollment provides high school students the opportunity to take college-credit bearing courses taught by college-approved high school teachers. It is a low-cost, scalable model for bringing accelerated courses to students in high schools. Students gain exposure to the academic challenges of college while in their supportive high school environment and earn transcripted college credit at the time they complete the course.
Concurrent enrollment also facilitates close collaboration between high school teachers and college faculty that fosters alignment of secondary and postsecondary curriculum.
Sometimes called "dual credit", "dual enrollment", or "college in the schools", concurrent enrollment partnerships differ from other models of dual enrollment because high school instructors teach the college courses.
Itasca Community College is a member of the National Alliance of Concurrent Enrollment Partnerships (NACEP). Read more about concurrent enrollment at the National Alliance of Concurrent Enrollment Partnerships.

In selecting physicians for Super Doctors, MSP Communications employs a rigorous multi-step process designed to identify physicians who have attained a high degree of peer recognition and professional achievement. Super Doctors is a selective yet diverse listing of outstanding doctors, representing consumer-oriented medical specialties.
First, we create a pool of candidates. Each year MSP Communications invites doctors to nominate colleagues they know to be exceptional in their specified field. Physicians are asked to consider the following question: "If you needed medical care in one of the following specialties, which doctor would you choose?" Numerous safeguards are in place to prevent ballot manipulation and doctors may not self-nominate.
The last step is to total the points received from nominations, research, and blue ribbon panel review. Only the highest-scoring doctors are included on the Super Doctors list. TheSuper Doctors list is approximately 5% of the physicians within the respective state or region.
Even if selected, a candidate's name will not be published on the Super Doctors list unless all information is confirmed prior to publication. Licensed and active physicians with a "Doctor of Medicine" degree (MD) or a "Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine" degree (DO) are eligible to register.
Super Doctors reserves the right to remove candidates and selectees if we determine that they do not meet eligibility, research, and review criteria.

Making a Discovery at a Music Hall Open House
On April 2, Cincinnati enjoyed the annual Findlay Market Opening Day parade.
As part of that "rite of spring" celebration, Music Hall's doors were open to anyone who wanted to come in, chat, and take a look around. The foyer was decked out in "Cincinnati red," including red-gelled lighting on the ceiling.
SPMH and Music Hall welcomed dozens of individuals, and SPMH Program Guides gave free tours of the building.

We're Happy to Meet You
One visitor we were especially delighted to see was Mr. Edward Klusman. Mr. Klusman stopped by to see how Music Hall looked following the revitalization.
While he was here, he shared with us that he and his wife Pat own one of the hand-carved, cherry-wood panels from the original Hook & Hastings Music Hall organ. This panel, titled "Noon," is hanging in his home.
How did he come by this unique treasure?
Mr. Klusman's father-in-law, Leonard Conrad, worked at Music Hall during the early 1970s renovation – a huge job touching all parts of the structure. Because the manager was ill, Mr. Conrad stepped in as acting manager and supervised the day-to-day work. He was presented the panel as thanks for his part of the renovation work.
After Mr. Conrad passed away, the Klusmans discovered the panel among his possessions.
Three panels represented morning, noon and evening. The Noon panel owned by the Klusmans is described in the book "The Cincinnati Organ" by George Ward Nichols.
"Noon" is depicted by a field of grasses, with flowers opening wide their fragrant bosoms, with butterflies hovering in the heat, with drone of bee, and insects hum.
The panel was designed by Laura Fry, the daughter of William Henry Fry, a noted wood carver and teacher. Ms. Fry is considered an important leader of Cincinnati women's decorative arts movement in the 1870s and 1880s.
Around 100 women—all students in two schools of wood carving in Cincinnati—donated their time and talent to carve the panels, frames, freizes, capitals and finials that decorated the screen of the great organ. Mrs. F. H. Force was one of those women. "Noon" is the panel she carved.
Reuben Springer was quite impressed with the quality of work and the generous nature of the women to donate their time. As a result, he funded a contest, offering $500 in gold to be distributed among ten women. There were ten premiums: three for first place, two for second, and five third premiums. Three judges were assigned to review the panels, one of whom was Samuel Hannaford, architect of Music Hall.
Newspapers reported on the awards ceremony, saying the women came "half shyly" to the front of the platform. Mr. Springer handed each winner her prize, including Mrs. Force, who won a third premium for the "Noon" panel. A reporter who witnessed the event said that Mr. Springer, too, was happy and "in glowing lines on his face were written, 'It is more blessed to give than to receive.'"
The Fate of the Great Music Hall Organ and its Panels
By the late 1960s, Music Hall was dated and had fallen into disrepair. The structure was scheduled to undergo a great deal of work. The great Hook & Hastings organ needed extensive work too.
Philanthropist J. Ralph Corbett chaired the Cincinnati Music Hall Association board. He himself had contributed over $6 million dollars to updating Music Hall and he worked to find a funder for the organ. But no one stepped forward to provide the nearly $300,000 to repair it.
Going, going …
In the summer of 1971, during construction of a new backstage, shop and scene storage, the organ was dismantled.
When the organ was rebuilt in 1923 the work was done by the Austin Company. Old St. Mary's Church had a late 1920s Austin and volunteers came to Music Hall and salvaged what they could. Mostly it was metal flue work, as wooden pipes were split and had already been repaired. Several other churches reportedly received parts too.
Apparently the organ console also survived. In 1977, a classified ad appeared in The Cincinnati Enquirer. It read:
ORIGINAL MUSIC HALL ORGAN CONSOLE – And seat.
Will make a perfect roll top desk. $150.
Many of those beautiful hand-carved panels didn't fare as well.
A handful of the original panels were installed in Music Hall's orchestra pit. As black cloth covered the walls of the pit when the orchestra played during performances, few knew of their existence.
Other panels were sold or given away, like the one given to Mr. Klusman's father-in-law. Several went to the Cincinnati Art Museum and the Cincinnati Historical Society. Two were hung in Music Hall in the north wing. The rest were thrown away.
Art-Carved Panels in Music Hall Today
In 2010, Kathy Janson realized the importance of these panels and initiated a campaign to collect and restore as many as possible. Mrs. Janson was a member of the SPMH board; SPMH funded this preservation effort, along with a video titled "The Art Carvers of Cincinnati Music Hall." The video illustrates the artistic importance of these panels and the restoration process. The renewed panels are now showcased in Music Hall.
The organ panels are displayed in the Taft Suite in Music Hall. While the Taft Suite is normally off limits to visitors, Friends of Music Hall tours take people into the room to see and appreciate these works of art. So check out dates and sign up now for a Backstage and Beyond Tour of the interior of Music Hall!
The detail work and artistry of the hand-carved panels can be viewed in the Taft Suite during tours of Music Hall.

It was very enjoyable and interesting meeting with the people at Music Hall. I appreciated the tour and information . We have a bit of history with Music Hall beyond my father in law working there and the organ panel . We had our wedding reception in the ball room 46 year ago and a few graduation ceremonies as well. Thanks again Ed Klusman

It's a remarkable feat of modern watchmaking that there's even such a thing as a "dive watch." In an age of electronics, the idea that you can take a piece of kit several hundred feet under the surface of the ocean seems almost novel.
Dive watches, however, aren't just watches that will keep working if you plunge them in water. They have to meet specific international standards before they can attain the moniker. If they don't, then sorry, they are not technically dive watches.
Dive watches are different from "waterproof" or "water-resistant" watches. Dive watches are also different from watches that claim to be water-resistant up to ten, thirty or fifty meters. They have a precise definition set out by the ISO 6425 international standard.
The standard says that you can only call a dive watch a dive watch if it works in depths of more than about 100 meters. The reason it's "about" 100 meters is that the actual unit the ISO uses is the "megapascal" - the amount of water pressure that the watch experiences in any given environment. ISO 6425 standards say that a dive watch must be able to withstand 1.0 megapascal (or 10 bar in the more customary units). In other words, it's got to be immensely robust - far more so than watches rated for dives up to fifty meters.
As a result of the ISO 6425 standard, you'll see lots of watches that look like divers models, but aren't. It's a popular style, so many "fashion" brands build watches that look like a diving watch but have minimal water resistance. For a lot of people that doesn't really matter - how many people actually dive in their watches? But for some, just knowing that a watch is able to survive at 200+ metres gives them the satisfaction of knowing that their watch is well made. Even if they won't dive in it, they'll trust it.
Are Dive Watches Rare?
While watches with dive rating of up to fifty meters are a dime a dozen, authentic dive watches aren't. The reason for this is how the pressure of water changes as you go to deeper and deeper depths, and the more advanced and expensive manufacturing required as a result.
Water pressure in the ocean increases by around 14.5 pounds per square inch for every ten meters that you descend. That means that true diving watches have to withstand more than 145 pounds per square inch AND continue to work flawlessly, with the internal mechanisms unaffected.
When you think about that, you quickly see how a genuine dive watch is a real feat of engineering. Creating the structures and mechanisms in the clock that allow it to work flawlessly at vast depths is a substantial challenge, and usually costly to do. It's one of the reasons why there are so few genuine dive watches (when compared to fashion watches) in existence in the world today. Making the things is tough and costs money.
Even more remarkably, many dive watches exceed ISO 6425 standards considerably. Many dive watches will continue working to depths of three hundred meters, or about 260 meters deeper than the average recreational scuba diver.
Professional diver Herbert Nitsch holds the current world record for a no-limits apnea. Back in 2007, he managed to get down to 214 below sea level before having to surface. Thus, a 300-meter-rated dive watch would have suited him down to the ground.
Why Make Such Extraordinary Instruments?
You might ask the question of why you would both making such extraordinary instruments. If so few people can reach depths of fifty meters, let alone two hundred, what's the point?
It all goes back to the history watches and the need for devices that could withstand the effects of water. Up until about the 19th century, you had to keep timepieces away from the elements. Not only would water disrupt their sensitive internal mechanisms, but so too would things like dust. Keeping them functional was a nightmare.
For nineteenth-century explorers, this was a problem. Intrepid individuals setting off for the deserts, ice caps and jungles needed timepieces that allowed them to track their movements and schedule. Watchmakers, therefore, began to experiment with the first "dust-resistant" mechanisms and casing and marketed them as explorer watches. Waterproofing first emerged as a kind of accidental byproduct of this process. The dustproof watches seemed to work well for nineteenth-century divers who put them in their helmets to keep track of how long they'd been underwater.
As diving (and exploring) grew in popularity at the starts of the twentieth century, more industrial watchmakers began experimenting with designs that would provide improved waterproofing. In 1926, Rolex introduced the aptly-named Oyster watch which featured a hermetic seal. The following year, Mercedes Gleitze attempted to cross the English Channel with the watch attached to a ribbon around her neck. The watch survived for more than ten hours in the water and came out ticking perfectly.
A decade later, Omega began distributing the first commercially-available dive watches, but the run volumes were small. It was only during and after the second world war, with the explosion in the number of submariners across the globe, that dive watches found more practical uses. The French and US Navies, for instance, began distributing dive watches to their crews in the hope that it would provide them with a way to tell the time, even if they were stranded below meters of brine.
Throughout the following decades, dive watches became ever more capable. With the growth of professional scuba diving and the need for people to be able to tell the time deep underwater, their popularity grew.
The rate of improvement in the capability of these devices, however, wasn't just a response to the need. Watchmakers discovered that as they experimented with better seals, the functionality of their watches marched ahead. They found that they were soon able to build devices that far exceeded the limits of unassisted human dives, making them the perfect, reliable accessory.
When Did Dive Watches Become Official?
For much of the twentieth century, there were no official dive watch standards. Manufacturers could label a product a dive watch regardless of the depth. In 1996, however, the International Organisation for Standardization defined the current ISO 6425 standard, and it's been with us ever since. The rule aimed to separate the wheat from the chaff: telling consumers which products are the real deal and those that fail to meet the mark. Thus, those who buy diving watches today know that they are getting timepieces of remarkable robustness.

John also shares his experience in using I Ching in the past and what is the real meaning of wisdom. He also tells how remarkable our technology is especially the Internet which is always there to connect all of us.


The fundamenatals; Every subject one can think of has what we call fundamentals that act as its foundation. Without these fundamentals' there is no foundation upon which it stands. These fundamentals when expressed, are expressed as a basic premise which is rarely or specifically defined, yet act as basic fundamentals' in our speech or writing.
When ever someone makes a statement or poses a question that assumes a basic premise that is false, that statement and/or question has no foundation, which in turn is just plain gibberish, not fit for intelligent consideration, just words without a leg to stand on. This is the stuff of liars who use the right words but are always founded on a false premise. Example By; prefacing a statement as, "we all can agree that government needs to fix the Nations' healthcare system". Contained within that preface are two false premises one is "we all can agree" the other is that the Nations healthcare is a system.
A system implies a designer, and America's healthcare did not happen by design, it evolved over time with the needs of the people, but in truth has been interfered with by government so much, it is now an economic basket case, which can easily be corrected by the removal of said government interference.
Many people unknowingly accept a false premise when the words appear or sound good. People whom make statements based on false premises are not only liars, but have ulterior motives for doing so.
Anyone that states they want to change the fundamentals' of anything, in the famous words of Ricky Ricardo, has "a lot of serious splaining to do". That applies more so, to those that hold the political power to do just that, change the fundamentals of our American society, because it is based on the false premise that they have the authority or right to do just that.
The basic fundamentals of American society are found in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States of America and no politician in our history was ever granted or gifted by election to office the authority or right to fundamentally change our government or the foundations upon which it stands.
This is not to say that many in our history have not caused change to our basic fundamental system of government but it does speak loudly as to the unconstitutional changes, methods and false premises presented to the people that lull them into subservience.
Not a single issue stands before our government today that is the legitimate business of it, or the ignorant, insurgents that have pulled off the first political Coup under the control of a (socialist) democrat junta in American history. In America this is what will lead us into an outright revolution and now is not the time for true patriots to shrink before its face.

Our funeral celebrations — is this really the way to go?
Thu, 1 Mar 2018 Source: Doreen Hammond
The certainty of death has never been in doubt and it is a path all mortals, whether royals or subjects, get to travel at a point in time.
Then comes the final journey which varies in different cultures. In most parts of Africa and Ghana in particular, the general trend has been to see off deceased relatives with pomp and circumstance irrespective of social standing.
Now it seems some ethnic groups that were not observing the one week of the death of a relative are now doing so; whatever the reason the change is, I cannot fathom.
The situation is different with the Muslim community where modest funeral ceremonies are preferred. What is mind-boggling is how not well-to-do families are able to raise funds to see off dead relatives who had lived lives of deprivation and want. Even in cases where a family is not able to procure medication for a sick relative, the situation changes as soon as he is pronounced dead.
And that is when the industry key players rake in their thousands. By this, I am talking about mortuary attendants, undertakers, shroud makers, casket makers, wreath makers, tomb makers, brochure designers and printers, cloth sellers and other service providers such as caterers, drink sellers, canopies and chair rentals, music providers and master of ceremonies.
In most cases, after all is done and all these players are smiling to the bank, the family is left with debt that may take years to settle, sometimes creating disunity and destabilising the family. Surprisingly, it is often family members who will not or cannot pay for any of such services who insist on extraneous things for the funeral.
At one of such funerals recently, I reflected on the pros and cons of our funeral industry and made some observations. I realised that the death of a person and, therefore, funerals have far more consequences and implications than meets the eye.
It also offers an opportunity for domestic tourism and makes it possible for us to see and experience, even though not elaborately, the culture of other people. It normally serves as a good break from work routine and sometimes even marriages have been contracted via such events. Similarly, business contacts are initiated at funerals.
Taking cognisance of the above, it is easy to conclude that the funeral industry is a vibrant one which if well harnessed, could add some value to the domestic economy. The downside as indicated earlier is the burden of debt usually left hanging over families long after the funeral is over.
This is very disturbing considering that some of these resources could have been channelled towards the education of brilliant students within the family or better still provide capital for some family members to grow their businesses.
Such resources could also go a long way to give some family houses a facelift as some have become death traps.
In the light of the above, it is about time we all took a second look at how to give our dead relatives a befitting burial without breaking anyone's back.
In most communities, some by-laws have been enacted to ensure this but to no avail. What I call for is a modest but decent funeral in the spirit of a win-win situation so that the dead will be happy that they have been buried well and the family will not suffer unnecessary wranglings. It is only prudent that we cut our coat according to our cloth.

Woman Fired For Flipping Off Donald Trump's Motorcade
Jennifer Bendery, HuffPost November 6, 2017
WASHINGTON ― You may have seen this photo of President Donald Trump's motorcade winding down a wooded road last week as a woman on a bicycle pedaled by ― giving the middle finger to Trump.
The picture, snapped by a White House photographer traveling with the president as he left his golf course in Sterling, Va., went viral almost immediately. News outlets picked up the story when it appeared in a White House pool report. Late-night talk show hosts told jokes about the encounter and people on social media began hailing the unidentified woman as a "she-ro," using the hashtag #Her2020.
The woman's name is Juli Briskman. Her employer, government contractor Akima LLC, wasn't so happy about the photo. They fired her over it.
In a Saturday interview with HuffPost, Briskman, a 50-year-old mother of two, said she was stunned that someone had taken a picture of her giving Trump the middle finger.
As the photo circulated online, Briskman decided to tell Akima's HR department what was happening when she went to work on Monday. By Tuesday, her bosses called her into a meeting and said she had violated the company's social media policy by using the photo as her profile picture on Twitter and Facebook.
"They said, 'We're separating from you,'" said Briskman. "Basically, you cannot have 'lewd' or 'obscene' things in your social media. So they were calling flipping him off 'obscene.'"
Briskman, who worked in marketing and communications at Akima for just over six months, said she emphasized to the executives that she wasn't on the job when the incident happened and that her social media pages don't mention her employer. They told her that because Akima was a government contractor, the photo could hurt their business, she said.
Virginia is an employment-at-will state, meaning employers can fire people anytime and for any reason. But Briskman said what's been particularly infuriating is that a male colleague kept his job after recently posting lewd comments on his Facebook page that featured Akima LLC as his cover photo. She said this colleague was reprimanded for calling someone "a fucking Libtard asshole" on Facebook, but was allowed to delete the post and keep his job.
"How is that any less 'obscene' than me flipping off the president?" she asked. "How is that fair?"
A request for comment from Akima was not immediately returned.
Asked what she was thinking when she saw Trump's motorcade roll up next to her, Briskman said it was a gut reaction to flip him off.
"He was passing by and my blood just started to boil," she said. "I'm thinking, DACA recipients are getting kicked out. He pulled ads for open enrollment in Obamacare. Only one-third of Puerto Rico has power. I'm thinking, he's at the damn golf course again."
"I flipped off the motorcade a number of times," she added.
Briskman, a Democrat, said she plans to look for a new job with an advocacy group that she believes in, like Planned Parenthood or PETA.
Despite getting fired, she said she has no regrets about the attention her public show of displeasure with Trump received. In fact, she said she's happy to be an image of protest that resonates with many Americans.
"In some ways, I'm doing better than ever," she said. "I'm angry about where our country is right now. I am appalled. This was an opportunity for me to say something."

Q: Excel macro not triggering on cell change I have a macro which previously triggered on a cell change but for some reason now it fails to trigger. I'm not sure what has changed to have caused this. All the macro has to do is refresh 4 pivots, which can be done manually no problem.
I've tried different ways of setting up a macro to trigger on a cell change, however they all fail to trigger on cell change.
Option Explicit

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)

    Dim KeyCells As Range

    Set KeyCells = Range("V76:W76")

    If Not Application.Intersect(KeyCells, Range(Target.Address)) _
           Is Nothing Then

    Sheets("NATFLOW").PivotTables("PivotTableA2").PivotCache.Refresh
    Sheets("NATFLOW").PivotTables("PivotTableB2").PivotCache.Refresh

    Sheets("NATTABLE").PivotTables("PivotTableAlpha2").PivotCache.Refresh
    Sheets("NATTABLE").PivotTables("PivotTableBeta2").PivotCache.Refresh

    End If

End Sub

The outcome is that nothing happens, including no error messages.

A: If nothing happends, including no error messages, so is due to this Application.Intersect(KeyCells, Range(Target.Address)) equals nothing.
Try to run step by step and check if the value of Application.Intersect(KeyCells, Range(Target.Address))

A: Try:

Canonicals help search engines like Google determine which piece of content is original verse, copied, or duplicate pieces. Initially, canonicals were used to prevent plagiarism penalties and allow websites to quote to share snippets of content without getting hurt in the search engines. However, canonicals can also be used within a single website to share which page is the original and most important. Here are a few reasons you should use self-referencing canonicals in your content.
If you're creating multiple URLs for your website, then search engines could get confused about which ones are the most important. If you're creating vanity URLs for marketing or analytics purposes, then these self-referencing canonicals can ensure that the other URLs aren't crawled and indexed. Think about self-referencing URLs as options for protecting your content marketing efforts and getting the most out of your original creation.
One of the main examples of uses for self-referencing canonicals is URLs with multiple variations. The team at The SEM Post covered a few times when this would happen, like if customers typed in HTTP instead of HTTPS. The same can be said for URLs with and without the www. beforehand or URLs with or without capitalizations. The SEM Post also suggested using 301 redirects in these cases.
One of the most important statements shared about self-referencing canonicals is that they will not hurt your SEO strategy. Adding them only takes a few seconds and they can prevent confusion on behalf of your customer and search engines. The low risk means it's worth adding these tags just in case.
To learn more about the dangers of duplicate content and importance of canonicals in your SEO strategy, talk to the organic search team at Exults. They can work to increase your visibility and grow your organic footprint.

Karl Ludwig Bernhard Christian Buchhorn (* 18. April 1770 in Halberstadt (Landkreis Harz, Sachsen-Anhalt); † 13. November 1856 in Berlin) war ein deutscher Maler und Graphiker.

Leben
Seine Mutter verstarb, als er 3 Jahre alt war. Sein Vater musste ihr Haus in Westendorf verkaufen.

Der junge Buchhorn wuchs in das Netzwerk der Aufklärer um Johann Wilhelm Ludwig Gleim hinein.

Zwischen 1790 und 1793 war Ludwig Buchhorn an der Kunstakademie von Berlin und dort u. a. Schüler bei Joseph Darbes (Bildnismalerei) und vor allem Daniel Berger (Kupferstich). Neben Aquatinta und Lithographien übernahm Buchhorn von seinen Dozenten auch die Technik im Crayon-Stils.

1797 bekam Buchhorn eine Anstellung als Zeichner und Kupferstecher an der Chalkographischen Gesellschaft zu Dessau und wirkte dort bis 1803. Danach war er einige Zeit als freischaffender Künstler in Leipzig u. a. auch für den Verleger Johann Friedrich Cotta tätig.

1806 ließ er sich auf Ersuchen von Professor Freidhof wieder in Berlin nieder und arbeitete auch wieder mit der Akademie zusammen. 1811 nahm ihn die Akademie als ordentl. Mitglied auf und berief ihn drei Jahre später als Dozent für Zeichnen und Kupferstich. Im Jahr 1814 gründete Buchhorn zusammen mit einigen Kollegen den Berlinischen Künstler-Verein.

Nach dem Tod seines Lehrers Daniel Berger betraute man Buchhorn 1824 mit der Leitung der Akademischen Kupferstecherschule. 1833 wurde er mit dem Roten Adlerorden 4. Klasse ausgezeichnet. Während seiner Lehrtätigkeit hatte Buchhorn viele Schüler; u. a. sind hier Friedrich Eduard Eichens, Rudolph Hertzberg, Hermann Kramer, Eduard Mandel, Adolph Schroedter, Carl Stiebeler, Wilhelm Devrient, Carl Krüger und Ernst Rietschel zu nennen.

In seinem frühen Werken war das "Abkupfern" alter Meister ein großer Schwerpunkt seines Schaffens. Beeinflusst durch Franz Krüger und Johann Gottfried Schadow fand Buchhorn aber bald zu einem eigenen Stil und arbeitete in seinen späten Werken immer mehr "nach der Natur". Buchhorn wurde mit der Zeit, neben Schadow, zu einem der bedeutenderen Zeichnern in Berlin.

Die Maler Johann Carl Kretzschmar, Georg Friedrich Schöner oder Auguste Hüssener (nach Emma Mathieu) porträtierten Buchhorn.

Buchhorn wurde auf dem Jakobifriedhof in Berlin begraben. Die Grabstätte ist nicht mehr erhalten. In seinem Testament vermachte er sein Geld der Heimatstadt, die damit eine Stiftung zur Ausbildung eines talentierten Halberstädter Künstlers in Berlin finanzieren sollte. Des Weiteren sollten 500 Taler den "Stadtarmen" zukommen.

Werke (Auswahl)
 Die Betteljugend
 Im Krieg
 Soldaten an der Spree

sowie
 Bildnis von Fürst Leopold III. Friedrich Franz (Anhalt-Dessau)
 Kupferstiche für die Musterbücher von Friedrich Wilhelm von Erdmannsdorff ("Architektonische Studien")
 Porträts von Königin Luise von Preußen, Ferdinand von Schill, Ernst Moritz Arndt, August Neidhardt von Gneisenau, Jérôme Bonaparte (Bruder Napoleons)
 zwischen 1822 und 1842 circa 30 Gemälde
 Den Bettlern gewidmete Werk-Serien, wo er sich am weitesten von Vorlagen entfernte und am kreativsten wurde

Niagara Mist / Wikimedia Commons.
Parts of the Niagara Falls have frozen over due to a particularly cold spell, and people all over social media are sharing ridiculously gorgeous photos of it.
Temperatures have plunged across the US this week, bringing snow and ice with it, especially in the northeast where the Falls straddle the border between Canada and New York.
As you can see in this video (or guess from how water works) the falls themselves have not actually frozen.
But nonetheless, enough of the surrounding area has been frozen over to make it look essentially like a Disney-esque winter wonderland. Enjoy some of the best photos people have been sharing of the spectacular scenery.
"Lots of magic happening in Niagara's frozen wonderland right now!" Instagram user @woman.meets.world wrote, sharing one of the best photographs of the lot.
"There really is nothing like it; the powerful falls rushing over and everything surrounding them from the railings to the trees to the buildings, are coated in a thick layer of ice. If you have the chance to visit while it's still freezing outside, make the effort because it's well worth it. I think I love it even more during the winter than the warmer weather!"

I have specialized post-doctoral training in Couples and Family Therapy (at the Haley-Madanes Family Therapy Institute).
I am certified by the American Society of Clinical Hypnosis (http://www.asch.net/) and have certification at the Master Level of Hypnotherapy from the National Academy of Clinical Hypnosis.
I am a Fellow of the Maryland Psychological Association (http://www.marylandpsychology.org).
I have been married for over 40 years (since 1975) to Steven H. Sherman, M.D. We have 2 adult children.
My approach is HOLISTIC– looking at a patient's whole life, both physical and psychological. As a psychologist, I am just as likely to recommend exercise and healthy nutrition as I am to consider an evaluation for medication.
My doctorate (Ph.D.) is in Counseling Psychology, from the University of Pennsylvania, and was granted in 1979.
I am licensed in the state of Maryland, where I have been practicing as a therapist since 1989.
My training is broad and varied. Philosophically, I am most accurately described as "Ericksonian", which puts an emphasis on respecting patients and trusting that patients come to therapy already possessing strengths and insights that they may need help identifying or accessing.
My orientation is eclectic, which means that I utilize different kinds of therapies and strategies, choosing and combining based on what I think will be best for any given patient. Sometimes that means a focus on behavior; sometimes it's an examination of negative beliefs; sometimes it could be an exploration of family history, etc.
My style as a therapist is very ACTIVE. I see therapy as an active collaboration between me and the patient. Although I will often ask what YOU think about something, I will also often tell you what I think about it. I don't just listen—I also talk.
And I am emphatically PRAGMATIC—I am practical and realistic. I have little interest in answers or techniques, no matter how clever, that you won't use or won't work in your real life.

This new set of scribing templates (item number 00028) is for "oblongs" or rectangles, if you will. It is a smaller set than 00029. There are 6 different rectangle sizes which are measured by width, ranging from 3.5 to 5 millimeters. Each rectangle has a minimum of 3 different sized rectangles for scribing. They are attached to a common fret but each template can be individually removed, which is useful if you need to scribe on a curved surface like an airplane fuselage.

Der Urguri-Nunatak (englisch; ) ist ein felsiger und  hoher Nunatak auf der Trinity-Halbinsel des Grahamlands auf der Antarktischen Halbinsel. Er ragt 2,49 km westlich bis nördlich des Abrit-Nunataks, 3,72 km nördlich des Theodolite Hill und 7,5 km südlich des Fidase Peak in den östlichen Ausläufern des Laclavère-Plateaus auf. Das Mott-Schneefeld liegt nördlich von ihm.

Deutsche und britische Wissenschaftler kartierten ihn 1996 gemeinsam. Die bulgarische Kommission für Antarktische Geographische Namen benannte ihn 2010 nach der mittelalterlichen Festung Urguri im Südosten Bulgariens.

Dynamics of a nonlinear dipole vortex
J.S. Hesthaven, Jens-Peter Lynov, A.H. Nielsen, J. Juul Rasmussen, M.R. Schmidt, E.G. Shapiro, S.K. Turitsyn
A localized stationary dipole solution to the Euler equations with a relationship between the vorticity and streamfunction given as omega=-psi+psi(3) is presented. By numerical integration of the Euler equations this dipole is shown to be unstable. However, the initially unstable dipole reorganizes itself into a new nonlinear dipole, which is found to be stable. This new structure has a functional relationship given as omega=alpha psi+beta psi(3)-gamma psi(5). Such dipoles are stable to head-on collisions and they are capable of creating tripolar structures when colliding off axis. The effects of increasing Newtonian viscosity on the nonlinear dipole is studied revealing that even though the nonlinearity is weakening, the dipole does not relax towards a Lamb dipole.

The healing nature of touch has been realized for hundreds and even thousands of years as evidenced, for example, in ancient Greek, Chinese, and Hindu writings dating back as far as 3000 BC. From ancient times to present day, millions of people have and continue to seek the right kind of healing touch to relieve pain and illness. How does touch work to reduce pain and help the body heal? To answer this question we must first figure out what touch is. Touch is a form of stress. And its effect on a target tissue is a form of strain. The amount of strain depends on how hard one touches, in what direction the force is applied, and how much time the force is applied on a given tissue. Common stresses (aka touches) seen in manual therapy include joint manipulation, percussion, light contact, deep pressure, stroking, passive stretching and vibration. Just as healthy activity and exercise stretch and deform soft tissue structures, all forms of therapeutic touch appear to create physical changes in cellular structure consequently stimulating a cellular response mechanism. The target cell membranes can detect the mechanical forces and respond by altering cell shape, behavior, and produce chemical signals that can aid the target tissue (1). But what is even more interesting is that not only does the target tissue respond to the touch stress, but neighboring tissue cells outside of the touch field respond in a similar fashion through an intracellular communication pathway.

BBC launches Audio Research Partnership
BBC R&D has begun a five-year collaboration with academic researchers from with five universities on research into acoustics, the benefits of which will be shared with the industry to enable innovations like the recently launched HD audio and Radio Player.
By David Fox
BBC Research & Development has begun a five-year collaboration with academic researchers from the University of Surrey for audio-visual research and the University of Salford for research into acoustics. The benefits of this research will be shared with the industry to enable innovations like the recently launched HD audio and Radio Player, writes David Fox.
BBC R&D will also work closely with the universities of Southampton, Queen Mary University of London (QMUL) and York. All five of the partner universities are world-leaders in audio research.
This forms a new partnership model for BBC R&D and demonstrates a growing commitment to increase its collaborative work with external partners from both academia and industry. It will lead to additional collaborations with other UK and international universities and research institutes, in addition to close working relationships with industry.
"This collaboration is another step towards more innovation in radio. It will deliver significant benefits to the industry and listeners," said Tim Davie, the BBC's Director of Audio & Music.
BBC R&D has been doing audio research for decades, ranging from loudspeaker design and acoustics for studios, some of the first work on digital audio, and the development of standards for loudness measurement. "The need for the BBC to be at the forefront of audio and audio-visual R&D has never been greater, with ever-advancing developments in technology, that offer new ways for audiences to consume our audio content," said Dr Graham Thomas, principal researcher, BBC Research & Development. "There is also a real need to improve efficiency and reduce costs. However, we do not have the in-house resources to do justice to the full range of possibilities that audio now has to offer, and even if we did, we would be missing a trick if we overlooked the world-leading expertise available in the UK academic sector."
"We are certain that by combining the expertise of world-leading academics with the practical industrial knowledge of BBC R&D engineers we will significantly advance the field of audio research for broadcasting," added Matthew Postgate, the BBC's Controller Research & Development.
Professor Yiu Lam, Head of Acoustics Research Centre, University of Salford, hailed it as a "major initiative, which will let us work with a leading media organisation to transform our knowledge in acoustics research into delivering cutting-edge technology."
Professor Adrian Hilton, head of the University of Surrey's Visual Media Research Group, has collaborated with the BBC on different projects over the past decade introducing novel technologies for both audio and visual projection, and said: "We hope that our collaboration will continue to flourish and provide significant benefits to those who use watch and listen to the BBC's broadcasts across a wide spectrum of programmes."
The new BBC R&D lab at MediaCityUK, Salford, includes a new listening room (pictured with a set of speakers set up for 3D sound tests). The BBC is currently looking to recruit a senior researcher with a strong background in audio, who will be based at MediaCityUK and will lead BBC R&D's audio team across both its Salford and London labs, as well as leading its involvement in the Audio Research Partnership.
The audio centre will focus on four core areas of research initially:
Source separation (independent component analysis for audio un-mixing – such as to help eliminate microphone cross-talk in recording, or to allow listeners to re-mix a programme to improve the audibility of dialogue, or even to up-mix archived TV programmes from mono or stereo to 5.1 or full spatial audio by analysing the video to place sounds at the right 3D location);
Audio semantics (automated metadata generation to provide new tools for both programme makers and audiences);
Spatial audio (including Ambisonics [as in the picture top where a Soundfield microphone is used for an experiment], Periphony, and studying the options for true 3D sound);
and Room acoustics (including optimising rooms for spatial audio both at the broadcaster and consumer end).
They will also collaborate on pure research into speech recognition (for applications including archives and accessibility – such as improving the intelligibility of compressed audio, particularly for the hearing-impaired) and audio coding (low latency and IP delivery).

Robert Mizrachi - Champion
Robert Mizrachi began the day as the chip leader and just seven and a half hours later he was awarded his second career World Series of Poker bracelet. Mizrachi overcame a severe chip deficit and bested Aaron Schaff during heads up play to earn $147,092 in first-place prize money as well as the prestige of being the champion of the first-ever dealer's choice event.
The day began with 10 players returning to the felt with hopes of claiming the aforementioned title. The day was filled with potential storylines including those of two-time bracelet winner Jen Harman and Melissa Burr. Not only were these two the last women standing in the event, but both were on the hunt for number three. For Harman, it was potentially a day to win her third bracelet. Burr, on the other hand, was looking for her third final table of the 2014 WSOP. Unfortunately for both ladies, these goals were dashed early on as they became the first casualties of the day with Harman busting in tenth and Burr falling in ninth.
Soon after Burr's elimination, Arthur Morris was sent to the rail in eighth place, allowing the rest of the field to combine to the unofficial final table of seven. Marco Johnson came into the unofficial final table as the short stack and despite an early double up, he was ultimately unable to gain further momentum. Johnson was eventually eliminated by Mizrachi in 2-7 triple draw and the official final table was set.
The final table had interesting shifts in dynamic with players slowly chipping away at each other's stacks in limit games one moment and suddenly changing pace by playing large pots for entire player's stacks in primarily pot-limit Omaha. The first large confrontation and eventual elimination did indeed come in PLO, and unfortunately for 2010 WSOP Player of the Year Frank Kassela, his quest for bracelet number three was cut short. During Kassela's final hand, four players committed 70,000 before the flop after it was potted by Daniel Idema. After the flop, Kassela found himself all in and at risk against Aaron Schaff with an inferior draw and hand. Kassela failed to improve on his hand on the turn or the river and he was eliminated from play in sixth place. Schaff, on the other hand, was sitting pretty with 68% of the chips in play five-handed.
The next key hand saw not one, but two players hit the rail. Once again, Schaff was the executioner and his weapon of choice was pot-limit Omaha. Schaff, Idema, and Bill Chen took a flop together where a short-stacked Idema moved all in from the get-go. Schaff potted and Chen announced that he was all in as well. By the end of the hand, Schaff made top two pair which was good enough toeliminate both of his competitors. Schaff held a commanding lead and was suddenly two eliminations away from his first bracelet.
Shane Abbott had been riding a short stack for a good portion of the day and had survived three all in confrontations up to this point. When the choice came around, he picked no-limit hold'em and this ultimately turned out to be an ill-timed decision. During a key hand, Mizrachi opened with a button raise and Abbott three-bet jammed from the small blind. Action folded back to Mizrachi and he snap-called.
Mizrachi:
Abbott:
Mizrachi was in a dominating position with his pocket aces and his lead extended even further after the flop hit the felt. Just for good measure, Mizrachi drilled the fourth ace on the turn ( ), giving him quads and an insured victory. Abbott hit the rail in third and took home $58,414 in prize money.
Despite his victory over Abbott, Mizrachi was still at a severe chip disadvantage against Schaff. That, however, did not stop the bracelet-winner from grinding his opponent in limit games to quickly increase his stack. Mizrachi seized the chip lead not too long into the heads up bout and never relinquished it for the rest of the match. Schaff considered pot-limit Omaha to be his best game and was consistently picking that when the choice fell upon him. Mizrachi, on the other hand, mixed it up consistently with his most-picked game being Omaha 8.
On the final hand of the match, Mizrachi had worn Schaff down to about 3.5 big bets in the draw games. Mizrachi had the game selection and chose A-5 triple draw. The two got it all in for Schaff's tournament life before the second draw. Mizrachi stood pat for the final two draws while his opponent opted for one card on each pull. To clinch the match, Mizrachi tabled his made and saw that Schaff's left him drawing dead. Mizrachi jumped up from the table and greeted his rail, which included his brother and three-time bracelet winner Michael Mizrachi. Schaff, on the other hand, was forced to settle for a runner-up finish and $90,854 in prize money.

Mizrachi bet out 35,000, and Schaff made the call. The river prompted 65,000 out of Mizrachi, and Schaff paused, cutting down his stack as he tanked.
"What are the blinds?" Schaff said. Informed the big blind was 16,000, he continued: "Well, how can I make it 25?"
The dealer said it should have been 32,000, but Schaff pointed out there was nothing that could be done now. Finally, he made the call, and Mizrachi showed for three deuces.

Kendrick Sampson Recounts Police Aggression Following Peaceful Protest in LA
Being attacked at the protest has only strengthened Sampson's resolve to de-fund police and hold police accountable.
Courtesy ofExtra
Insecure star Kendrick Sampson is speaking out to Extra's Charissa Thompson after police hit him with seven rubber bullets and a baton at what started as a peaceful protest for George Floyd in Los Angeles.
He opened up about how he's feeling today, saying, "I'm pretty exhausted, but I feel strong and I feel like, you know, I'm ready to make sure that I get out there, and get back out there, and make sure that we continue this movement to de-fund police and hold all these officers accountable."
Sampson also revealed, "I have some trauma that I am working through."
Sampson said it's always dangerous to protest, but he knew his group had taken safety precautions: "I've been working with Black Lives Matter Los Angeles for years … It wasn't until after we ended our event they decided to become aggressive."
The activist got separated from his group while others decided to keep marching, he said. "Police showed up and blocked off the streets … They wanted to prevent us from going into Beverly Hills because they're more worried about property than people. And I started recording … They got enraged and … they ended up shooting me … They singled me out. They pointed at me."
He went on, "I was shot seven times with rubber bullets … I'm glad I didn't get hit in my head, but they hit me with the club right here. I have a chest wound … Anywhere it hits you, like, skin comes off and bruising happens, and so anywhere it hits you, there is a lot of skin comes off, lots of blood. I don't want to show you my leg, but, you know, there was a lot of blood and hanging skin and stuff, so …"
Sampson went on to show the painful injuries on his leg.

Thompson asked him where we go from here, and he replied, "There's been a lot of movement in the de-fund police and understanding what that means. A lot of people think that's just like, 'What do we do without police?' and we're not asking to do anything without police. We're saying that the budgets are inflated to an extreme degree. We spend like $100 billion in this country on police."
He added, "That money could be used to heal, could be used to rebuild, could be used to fund unarmed non-law enforcement first responders, mental healthcare centers, rehabilitation centers, housing … It's a reality that we could have and keep us safe."
He said he will continue to do his part to help, adding, "My nonprofit initiative BLD PWR … is working to organize Hollywood around liberation culture and getting them involved in the real situations, connecting them to grassroots organizations, community-based organizations that are doing the real work … BLD PWR collaborated with Black Lives Matter Los Angeles on many things right now. You have to look at the People's Budget LA … a great example of what the de-funding of police, where that money could go to."


ECJ: when can a third party can get you on the hook for a cartel fine?
In VM Remonts (link here), the EU Court of Justice ("ECJ") ruled for the first time on whether a company can be liable for competition law infringements that resulted from the actions of a third party service provider that was not an agent of the company and was taking initiatives that clearly exceeded the tasks assigned to it.
the company could reasonably have foreseen the anti-competitive acts of its competitors and the service provider, and was prepared to accept the risk of the concerted practice.
Though this scales back the test proposed by the Advocate General – suggesting a presumption of liability that the defendants would have to rebut – it has important implications for competition compliance and counselling.
On its face, the case concerned facts so extreme that they would appear highly unlikely to transpire in practice. Three tenderers for school food contracts each mandated the same third party consultant to draft their responses to the tender. The consultant – an independent company – drafted tenders that carefully offered slightly, but sufficiently, different prices to ensure that only one of the tenderers would win. All tenderers were accused of being party to a bid rigging cartel. On appeal the national court asked the Court of Justice to what extent a company who claims to know nothing of an independent service provider's actions still be liable for cartel type conduct.
The Court has clarified that employees and genuinely independent service providers should be looked at very differently. An employee or a consultant acting under a company's direction or control will automatically create liability for the company. It is no good arguing that the employee or controlled entity "went rogue". The company's relationship is such that it cannot avoid liability.
Conversely if the entity is truly independent, then the company can only be liable if (i) it is aware of the anticompetitive objective and contributes to it or (ii) should have known that of the anticompetitive outcome but is prepared to take the risk.
The case thus goes much further than the extreme facts at issue. Though it will be a rare occurrence when competitors appoint the same consultant to answer tenders, the use of consultants for benchmarking studies, statistical collection or marketing surveys is very common. So too for competitors who may have common suppliers, consultants or advisors with whom they share information that could be of use to rivals. In those circumstances, the risk of intentional or negligent conduct that leads to sharing of pricing or future bidding strategies could risk liability under the tests posited by the ECJ.
(a) How much autonomy or flexibility does the service provider have with regard to the way in which the activity concerned is to be carried out?
(b) Slightly vaguer is the question of whether there are any "organisational, economic and legal links" between the service provider in question and the contracting company. This will involve consideration of the corporate/shareholding links between the two.
(a) Was the contracting company aware of the anticompetitive objectives pursued by its competitors and the service provider, and did it intend to contribute to them by its own conduct?
(b) Could the contracting company reasonably have foreseen the anticompetitive acts of its competitors and the service provider and was it prepared to accept the risk?
Make sure that the service provider is independent: Consultants likely to be collecting or using sensitive information should be independent service providers rather than agents or quasi-employees. Boiler plate language in the assignment agreement can be used to make this clear, as well as making clear in the specification of services that the consultant is free to deliver on the project under its own responsibility, rather than working to the direction or under the control of the customer.
Make sure employees are aware of the risks of outsourcing to service providers projects involving sensitive information: Those instructing service providers in high risk contexts (bids, pricing, customer or market opportunities) should understand the risk of using the service provider as a knowing or inadvertent conduit to communication illegally with competitors. Information should be provided under a suitable non-disclosure arrangement and obligation to abide by all laws, including competition law in undertaking the project. Any red flags (for example that information will also be collected from competitors or disseminated to them) should be noted and escalated to the legal department.
