The oldest wooden house in Colmar is the Pfister House, built in the 16th century partly of wood with lovely paintings and decorations on its façade. This renowned house was actually presented in the world famous anime movie, Howl's Moving Castle.


Sign of God's covenant with each individual male in Israel (v. 11). The word "covenant" is repeated eight times in this chapter.
Other "signs" of the covenant: the rainbow: Gen 9:12 (cf. v. 8 and 11). The rainbow is a sign of God's universal covenant with the cosmos.
The Sabbath is a "sign" of the covenant: Ex 31:12.16.17, God's covenant with the people of Israel.
On the eighth day, otherwise the person is cut off from the community: v. 14 (cf. Jn 7:22-24).
The name is given to the child on the day of circumcision.
"He shall be called in Israel": יקרא שמו בישראל ; he receives his place, his vocation, in the people of Israel and is inserted into its history.
Jewish tradition sees the repetition as well as the plural, as an allusion both to the blood of circumcision and to the blood of Passover. The one and the other are a source of life. The one who is circumcised not only enters into the covenant with Abraham, but participates in the exodus from Egypt.
The presence of Elijah, the messenger and defender of the covenant (1 Kings 19:9; Mal 3:1; Mal 3:22-24), guarantor of the child's fidelity to the covenant into which he has entered.
In the person of Jesus, God, the author of the covenant, enters into the covenant with Abraham, takes his place within humanity by belonging to this people. Within this people, he receives his name, his vocation: "God saves", ישוע.
For a boy, the mother's purification occurs 33 days after the circumcision.
This is a ritual purification that has its place along the same lines as what is said in Leviticus 15 concerning purification after menstruation or after ejecting seminal fluid.
Cf. Lev 17:14: "blood is life".
One can see in this the meaning of physical integrity, of the need to restore the body, which ultimately has to do with the whole person and can be the opportunity for spiritual purification.
In a sense, the events that have to do with the body are raised up by making them the occasion for a religious experience.
(Remember the attitude of Jesus, who heals the body and purifies from sin).
Compensation for the death of the first-born of the Egyptians (cf. Ex 12:29-34).
The child is given to God through the mediation of the cohen and then returned to his parents (redeemed) through a symbolic sum of money.
Another meaning: the first-fruits: every first-fruit is offered to God in order to show that every fruit belongs to God.
The one who "redeems" is redeemed. The one who belongs to God the Father as Only Son from all eternity is offered to the Father and returned to his parents so that he might fulfill that for which he came, that for which the Father sent him into the world: to show by his incarnation the extent to which God loves humanity and wants to save it.
When the Church celebrates these two events, the liturgy offers Malachy ch. 3 as a reading: The Lord whom you seek will enter into his sanctuary, the angel of the covenant whom you desire.
And Psalm 24: Lift up your heads, o gates! That the King of glory may come in.
In fact, the one who enters is neither an angel (cf. Heb 1:5; 2:5) nor a King of glory, but a small child.
In this context, Simeon and Hannah appear.
Two young parents, Joseph and Mary, faithfully fulfill the law of the Lord (mentioned five times: Lk 2:22. 23. 24. 27. 29).
They encounter two old people who are witnesses to the messianic expectation. One awaits the consolation of Israel (cf. Isa 40:1; 51:12; 61:2; 66:13); the other the redemption of Jerusalem.
Simeon, inspired by the Holy Spirit (mentioned three times in two verses: 25-26), sees in this child the "light of revelation for the Nations and the glory of God's people Israel". Cf. Isa 40:5; 42:6; 49:3-6.
Glory, כבוד , means the "weight" of God, what is visible of the invisible. Jesus makes God visible (And the Word was made flesh and we have seen his glory) by giving the incarnation its full weight in view of revealing himself in the light for the Nations.
In Jesus, God "gives weight" to his love for humanity. That is the meaning of his fulfilling all these rituals around the birth of a Jewish child; he submits to them through his parents.
And thus he can be "light for the Nations". Because he became one of us even to this extent, in a particular people, tribe, family, in a particular land, he could reveal to the Nations the extent to which God takes humanity seriously.
The Nations receive this light when they recognize the glory of Israel in Jesus.
And the glory of Israel will be to discover that in Jesus, a son of their race, the covenant has been opened up to all.
This is and remains a sign of contradiction (Luke 2:34) both for Israel and for the Nations.
How can the universality of salvation reveal itself through this extreme of the particular?
How can this truth be welcomed with all that it signifies? Salvation comes from the Jews, from this people that is eternally chosen by God, from whom Jesus came forth, a son of this people, Son of God, Savior of the world.
Welcoming this revelation goes by way of the cross. It is to be noted that the two expressions "glory of Israel and light of the Nations" can be found in the Suffering Servant songs.
If this reality passes by way of the cross, Mary is closely associated with it in the mystery of her compassion.
It is not by chance that the "sword" forecast to Mary by Simeon is situated in the humble context of the fulfillment of these Jewish rituals around the birth of a child.
Mary knows better than anyone what the weight of the Incarnation means and to what extent Jesus is the "glory of Israel".
By giving Jesus to the world, by inserting him in the covenant through circumcision, by giving him to the Father and by redeeming him, she made it possible for the Nations to receive the revelation of the one and only covenant into which they are invited to enter.

Gallagher, a double Best Novel finalist for Between Home and Ruin and Seize What's Held Dear
Introduction: To highlight the four-decade history of the Prometheus Awards, which the Libertarian Futurist Society began celebrating in 2019, and to make clear what libertarian futurists saw in each of our past winners that made them deserve recognition as pro-freedom sf/fantasy, we're presentING a series of weekly Appreciations of Prometheus Award-winners, starting with our first category for Best Novel.
Here's the latest Appreciation – and an intriguing comparison – of Harry Turtledove's The Gladiator and Jo Walton's Ha'Penny, co-winners of the 2008 Prometheus Award for Best Novel:
The year 2008 saw, for the first time, a tie between two Prometheus Award nominees for Best Novel: Harry Turtledove's The Gladiator (in his Crosstime Traffic series from Tor Books) and Jo Walton's Ha'Penny (in her Small Change series, also from Tor Books).
Ordinarily, each winner would merit its own entry; but there are interesting parallels between the two, which make it especially fitting that they shared the award, and illuminating to examine them together.
Turtledove has been known primarily as an author of alternate history, making his mark with early works such as A Different Flesh (1988), set on an Earth where the Americas are inhabited by surviving Homo erectus, and The Guns of the South, in which South African engineers help Robert E. Lee to victory, with surprising results. The six volumes of Crosstime Traffic are a young adult series about trade between parallel Earths.
Walton's oeuvre has been more varied, but Small Change is definitely alternate history, set in a timeline where the United Kingdom came to terms with Germany in the 1930s.
It belongs to a subgenre that's not usually considered science fictional: the cozy mystery, commonly set in a domain of wealthy and privileged people (not very different from the setting of the Jeeves and Wooster stories!) and keeping overt violence and the cruder sorts of crime offstage.
Walton mixes this with a different subgenre, the police procedural, making her continuing protagonist a Scotland Yard investigator. The science-fictional aspect comes from Walton's careful exploration of the cultural divergence to be expected in her alternate timeline.

"During the war, Diia became not only a bridge between the state and Ukrainians, but also a tool that can help other countries," Ministry of Digital Transformation
At last week's World Economic Forum in Davos, it was announced that Ukraine would export its Diia application abroad. Mstyslav Banik, Head of Electronic Services Development at the Ministry of Digital Transformation of Ukraine, spoke about this in detail at a briefing at Media Center Ukraine — Ukrinform.
"Estonia, which for 15 years has been the country No. 1 in terms of e-government, was the first to decide to take our experience. It is not an analogue, not 'inspired' or 'influenced by' — it is the shortened code of Diia in terms of the list of services that they want to adapt to their registers. And even its (interface) design is as similar to Diia as possible. USAID allocated USD 650,000 for the promotion as well as for the analysis of technical issues in other countries. Why do they support the development of Diia? Because it is transparency, the fight against corruption and accessibility for different sections of the population. The money that was invested by our donors, the governments of various countries, the government of Sweden, the USA, not only proved itself effective, but also showed that it created an instrument that can help other countries," — Banik said.
The expert also noted that during the war, digital services in many ways became the only way to deliver services and documents to Ukrainians.
"In peacetime, we lived in a paradigm that offline is number one. But during the war offline may no longer exist physically: I know a bunch of places that used to be Administrative Service Centers before the rockets hit. If we talk about occupied territories, about territories where active hostilities are taking place, there are no offline services at all. And Diia became the only bridge between these people and the state," — Banik added.

Young footballer makes history with debut at age 14 in Australian cup competition | Soccer
September 15, 2022 by StarNews
Oakleigh Cannons' fantasy run may be over but their 14-year-old goalkeeper, Ymer Abili, was left in dreamland as the youngest player ever to grace the Australia Cup.
Less than 24 hours after another schoolboy, Christopher Atherton, became the youngest ever to appear in any senior match in the UK at 13, Abili beamed his own way into Australian football annals with his cameo appearance in the Cannons' semi-final defeat by Macarthur.
With the Victorian semi-pro side's run about to be ended by Macarthur, who were leading 5-2 in the dying minutes, Cannons' coach Chris Taylor took the chance to give Abili, who usually plays for their Under-14s, his moment.
Taking him off the bench at Oakleigh's Jack Edwards Reserve, the youngster could not keep the smile off his face as he was told to replace experienced keeper Lewis Italiano, who is over twice Abili's age at 31.
After getting a roaring reception from the home fans as he came on, Ymer did not concede any more goals as Macarthur took their expected place in the final against Sydney United.
Explaining that the substitution had been pre-planned for the final moments should the Cannons be on their way out, Abili told Network 10: "85th minute, I think. He [Taylor] said, 'warm up' – I was buzzing, so happy!"

There was a nerve-racking moment in the final seconds when Abili looked as if he would have to deal with a corner, but he just shrugged: "I was just excited to go on and make history, that's it."
And asked if he perhaps should have been brought on earlier, he shrugged with a smile, "I don't know … [it was] Chris Taylor's call, not mine!"
His mum said she was "a nervous wreck". "I've been nervous all night. I'm so proud of Ymer, he trains really, really hard for the last couple of years."
The Cannons hailed their young history maker with a celebratory tweet. "We are extremely proud! What an incredible night to see our 14 year old keeper Abili make his debut!! An historical moment for our club and for the Australia Cup!!"
But not even Abili could match the feat thousands of miles away as Atherton, aged 13 years and 329 days, broke a UK record that had lasted for 42 years as he came on as a second-half sub for Glenavon against Dollingstown in Northern Ireland's League Cup.
Even more extraordinarily, his first touch was to set up his side's final goal in their 6-0 win. Atherton is almost a year younger than the record holder as the UK's youngest professional player, Eamon Collins, who made his Blackpool debut at 14 years 323 days in 1980.

I want to tell you something that I hope you will take in the right way: God is fully aware that you and I are not perfect.
Let me add: God is also fully aware that the people you think are perfect are not.
And yet we spend so much time and energy comparing ourselves to others—usually comparing our weaknesses to their strengths. This drives us to create expectations for ourselves that are impossible to meet. As a result, we never celebrate our good efforts because they seem to be less than what someone else does.
This is very wise counsel indeed. Still, there are times when when comparisons have something to teach us, otherwise we wouldn't see examples of Jesus and His prophets comparing in the scriptures. Here are 4 powerful examples of these comparisons, and what we can learn from them.
Lesson Learned: If we notice we have a weakness in a calling, especially after observing someone else do it beautifully, we need to remember that the Lord's grace is sufficient for us. If we are humble, he can make our weakness a strength.
The Lord is merciful of weakness. The Savior doesn't compare us to another when we're trying our best. He does occasionally do it (himself or by his prophet) when we think we're better than others.
Jacob then points out that the Lamanites, whom the Nephites look down on, are more righteous in some ways. He compares them.
Lesson Learned: When we are in a state of great pride, the Lord may use comparison to help us be humble by pointing out that we're not as awesome as we think we are. He does this out of love, and only when we're so prideful that nothing else seems to be working.
We know that the Savior loved Martha by the gentleness of his reminder. He didn't really put down Martha's service, He just made the comparison that Mary's choice in that one moment was better. (Luke 10:38-42) Jesus probably would have let Martha continue serving him in her way if she hadn't brought it up. He might have been able to teach her in a less public way that she needed to remember the "better part".
Lesson Learned: If you feel like someone's not doing their part, (and you are), address it privately. If you draw a comparison publicly, you might get corrected publicly too.
After Corianton abandoned his mission to chase after the harlot Isabel, Alma compared him to his older brother. Alma never says he loves the older brother more, or even that the older brother has more potential or worth than Corianton. Alma simply points out that Corianton has a good example in his older brother.
Lesson Learned: The most productive use of comparison is to have an example to follow in a particular attribute. President Kimball has said, "God does notice us, and he watches over us. But it is usually through another person that he meets our needs." This includes showing us an easily observable example in an area we need to grow in so that we can be more like Him.
If we feel the Spirit pointing out a characteristic or behavior in someone else, it is not the Lord comparing us to make us feel bad. It's just Him saying, this person is doing this one thing in a way that would be helpful for you to learn. Watch how they do it, and then make it your own.

Petco Love Lost database uses breakthrough facial recognition technology to find missing cats and dogs.
Today is National Lost Dog and Cat Awareness Day, and Killeen Animal Services is proudly joining forces with Petco Love, in a shared mission to help reunite lost pets with their families should they go missing.
Petco Love Lost is a new searchable national database that uses patented facial recognition technology to make finding lost pets quicker and easier. Beginning today, this simple-to-use tool will be easily accessible to participating animal organizations nationwide as well as to any pet parent or person who finds a lost pet. Uploaded photos of a missing dog or cat are immediately scanned to determine whether the lost pet is at a participating shelter, like Killeen Animal Shelter, or with a neighbor in the community.
"We see firsthand how quickly a pet can go missing, whether they were curious, following a scent, wandered through an open gate or became scared during a storm," said, Jessica Dunagan, Killeen Animal Services manager. "We work tirelessly to care for pets that are awaiting their forever homes or are lost and need help getting back to their families. There's nothing more rewarding than reuniting families with their beloved pets, and with Petco Love Lost, we're confident there will be many more happy reunions right here in Killeen."
"We know that one in three pets goes missing in its lifetime, an estimated 10 million pets each year, and we're not okay with that," said Petco Love President Susanne Kogut. "That gives us 10 million reasons why we created Petco Love Lost, because we believe nothing is more important than keeping people and pets together for a lifetime of love. Together with Killeen Animal Services, our goal is to keep pets where they belong – at home, with you."
If you've lost or found a pet, Petco Love Lost is available to help get them home. Visit www.petcolovelost.org or join the conversation @PetcoLoveLost on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter via hashtags #PetcoLoveLost and #LoveandFound.
Killeen Animal Shelter, located at 3118 Commerce Drive, and is open for adoptions Monday through Saturday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. More information about Killeen Animal Services along with a link to view adoptable animals online is available at killeentexas.gov/animals.

Bootleather and Archer
Summary: Tyroan questions Rafferdy about his alleged treachery.
Date: 27/September/2012
Related Logs: Arrested Development and Spies Among Us
A Guest Room, Fortress of the Sevens
Probably small and maybe a little cramped.
27 September, 289
Rafferdy is laying on his back on a rug on the stone floor, his arms folded behind his head. He's staring at the ceiling, shirtless, and one of the armoire's has been emptied and moved to block the third story window.
Tyroan Nayland is apparently a busy man. He's only been out of a meeting with Rickart for a short while, and now he's calling on his imprisoned nephew. He gestures toward the door to one of the guards, who raps once then opens it. Tyroan allows a moment, then walks in, taking in the situation, "Nephew." The older knight presses his right fist into his left palm, letting out a series of four sharp pops from his knuckles, "You've stepped into the shit, haven't you?" There's no real heat behind those words, and perhaps even a bit of wry amusement.
Rafferdy doesn't look away from whatever amazing spot on the ceiling he's chosen to stare at. "I've done nothing different than I have for the last eight years." He shrugs, "He's angry about Riordan losing Stonebridge to you. I'm on the receiving end I guess."
Tyroan smirks tightly, "That was a prime bit of buggery Lord Walder did, now wasn't it?" Shaking off his amusement, he moves over to drop down into a chair across the room from his nephew, "That, or he's pissed as fuck about the accusations that you betrayed the family for a bit of trim. Now what kind of fucking idiot would do that, nephew?"
Rafferdy rolls his eyes, "If I had done that, I wouldn't be here." He sighs, "He arrested me after I finished begging him for betrothal to her. Does that really sound like the actions of a man who already worked it all out?"
Tyroan snorts at the protestations, "Don't blow smoke up my ass, lad. I know well enough that sell-swords and traitors," they're both spoken in the same disdainful tone, "don't tend to get paid when they fuck things up." He shakes his bald head slowly, "But I'm not here to bust your chops. I'm here to get information. Where'd you get your information on Charlton numbers?"
Rafferdy sits up, looking at Tyroan. "So, its been decided then. I'm a traitor." He shakes his head, "Unbelievable." He sighs, stands, and moves to the bed, where he flops down, sitting on the edge. "You don't even know me, but you judge me so quickly without a single damned member of my family even bothering to ask for my side." He shakes his head, "And you say it's me that is the traitor…"
Tyroan narrows his eyes at Rafferdy's response to his words, "If you want to have a chance of getting off, you'd best learn to fucking listen, boy." It's rapidly gone downhill from 'nephew' to 'lad' to 'boy.' "I just told you, I'm just here for information." He leans forward a bit in his chair, hardening his voice, "Isn't that part of asking for your side? If you suggest that I'm a fucking traitor again, though, I'll let your father throw you to the swamp."
Rafferdy furrows his brow once more, "Getting off implies I've done something wrong and am getting away with it. I've done no such thing." He stares at Tyroan a long moment, and then says flatly, "I scouted it myself."
Tyroan snarls, "'Getting off' suggests flogging your log. It also implies being found not guilty at a trial. And you can fucking bet that there will be a trial." Leaning back in his chair again, he draws in a breath, calming his voice again, "So when you told the people in charge at Stonebridge that there were only four hundred in their levies, you were just incompetent, not treacherous?"
Rafferdy shakes his head, "No. When I told them that, I was telling them what I was asked to tell them by the Haighs. I scouted myself and gave them the true numbers a few days later."
Tyroan arches his brows at the mention of the Haighs, "And when did the Haighs ask you to do that?" Leaning forward again, he rests his forearms on his knees, lacing his fingers together as he does, "And what else did the Haylords ask you to do?"
Rafferdy shrugs, "A few days prior. That's really all they asked."
Tyroan nods slightly, looking down at his knit hands for a moment, "So the Haighs and Charltons march over to Highfield, at some point you talk to the Haighs, and they ask you to tell your brothers that there are only four hundred soldiers at Highfield?" There's a bit of disbelief in his voice, but he continues none-the-less, "And you did? What was in it for you to give them that report?"
Rafferdy lifts his brow, "You don't believe that. Why do we bother continuing then?" He leans back onto the bed with a huff.
Tyroan unlaces his hands and braces them on his knees, "I'm an old goat, and I'm going to gnaw on this from all angles. I'll listen to whatever the fuck you have to say, but I've got my own questions too."
Rafferdy just sighs. "Then ask them and get the hell out."
Tyroan shakes his head slowly, "I just did. What was in it for you to give them that report?" Perhaps patience comes with age, but the elder knight seems to take this in stride, "And then you can tell me whatever you think your side of the story is."
Rafferdy shakes his head, "To them, they believed I was earning the hand of Katrin Haigh. To us, we were gaining an opportunity to communicate false information about our doings to them in order to give us an advantage in a battle in which we were clearly outnumbered."
Tyroan nods his head, "And what false information did you give them?" He gestures idly off to the west with one hand, "Because it sure as fuck seemed to me that it was the militia pikes that saw them off."
Rafferdy shakes his head, "We gave them none. After getting Father's permission to feed them false information, in the end, Riordan and Rutger vanished. Rygar and I never spoke. So, the plan never came through to anything. It was a waste. Another shining moment for Riordan's book of dropping the ball."
Tyroan nods again, "So help me get this straight. Your side of the situation is that you went to the Haighs once they had marched to Highfield," he stops a moment, asking, "Or was it before they marched?" He continues almost immediately, "and you offered to feed your family false information in exchange for marrying this girl when the Charltons and Haighs won, but you really wanted to fuck them in the ass and feed them false information?"
Rafferdy sighs, growing tired of all this, "I went to Haigh's before they marched, but after Riordan had ensured they were going to retaliate against Stonebridge. And that's true, though when you say it like that you make me sound like an idiot." He leans forward, "I understand you may not get this, since you weren't in Stonebridge until you magically swept it out from under my brothers, but we were going to get our asses handed to us. Riordan was a moron. Rygar was never around. Neither was Rutger. It was me and Bruce and Jarod. NONE of us had authority to do ANYTHING worthy of being help. So I did what I could. What I've always done. And it's NEVER been an issue before."
"Sounds like a fucking good thing for House Nayland that Lord Frey made me Steward then, when you put it that way, doesn't it?" Tyroan's wry smirk comes before a shake of his head, "Seems to me that Ser Bruce did a pretty damned good job with the defenses. Him and Ser Rygar." He hauls himself up out of his chair with a groan, straightening the sword at his hip, "So when did you make the deal with the Haighs? And there anything else you want to mention?"
"Ser Bruce did well, but he didn't do it alone. Jarod and I were pretty instrumental in that, not that I'd expect any of you to bother noting that now." Rafferdy sighs, "It happened when I was captured about a month and a half ago." He thinks a moment, then shakes his head, "No. I can't think of anything else."
Tyroan presses his right fist into his left palm again, although his knuckles don't pop this time, "I'll be in Stonebridge. You think of anything, send me a courier. I'll make sure you're allowed to do that. To me and Ser Bruce. I'll try to get this dealt with quickly." He moves toward the door, "No sense keeping you in here longer than necessary."
For the first time this evening, instead of frustration, Rafferdy shows a bit of disappointed sadness as his shoulders slump just slightly and he says softly, "It doesn't matter. None of this does. Father's already decided." He then lays on the bed and rolls over, turning his back on his uncle.
Tyroan watches his nephew slump in despair, then shakes his head in his own disappointment and departs, speaking with the guards outside briefly as the door closes.

ECommerce Replatforming URL's
BoatOutfitters last edited by
We are in the process of re-platforming our eCommerce site to Magento 2. For the most part, the majority of site content will remain the same.
Unfortunately on our current platform, we have been inconsistent with the use of .html as a URL suffix. As a result, our category and product pages are half and half -
/stainless-steel-hardware.html
/stainless-steel-hardware
We are considering taking the opportunity to clean up and standardize our URLs. (Drop the .html from all URLs on the new site and 301 redirect these to the same URL without the .html)
Our concern is that many of the .html pages are good categories with strong page rank and I've read many articles about page rank loss from 301 redirects. We are debating internally if it really makes sense to take an SEO hit for something is seemingly small as dropping the .html from the URL.
It would be a no-brainer if we were taking the opportunity to change to more SEO friendly natural language URLs. However currently our URL's appear acceptable with the exception of the inconsistent suffix.
Thanks in advance for any insight on how you would approach this!

PR drop off no longer drops off circa 15% as of early - mid 2016, which has been confirmed by some lovely Google folks (referenced in the above article).
I think that you're only going to benefit (mainly in terms of management), ongoing.

...I've read many articles about page rank loss from 301 redirects
You are right that there is a loss of PR from a 301, but it is going to be very small.
In terms of managing the site, long term, you are going to find it much more straight forward to take the route of tidying up.
I have just been through this with a site over almost 2000 pages and we didn't notice any drop in the SERPs at all. However, we did see a few uplifts, but there could have been a few other reasons for this as well.
If you were changing the URL's to try and gain favour with Google by having more friendly URL's, I would tell you not to bother. This, however, seems like a worthwhile change.

What's the best way to A/B test new version of your website having different URL structure?
Hi Mozzers, Hope you're doing good. Well, we have a website, up and running for a decent tenure with millions of pages indexed in search engines. We're planning to go live with a new version of it i.e a new experience for our users, some changes in site architecture which includes change in URL structure for existing URLs and introduction of some new URLs as well. Now, my question is, what's the best way to do a A/B test with the new version? We can't launch it for a part of users (say, we'll make it live for 50% of the users, an remaining 50% of the users will see old/existing site only) because the URL structure is changed now and bots will get confused if they start landing on different versions. Will this work if I reduce crawl rate to ZERO during this A/B tenure? How will this impact us from SEO perspective? How will those old to new 301 URL redirects will affect our users? Have you ever faced/handled this kind of scenario? If yes, please share how you handled this along with the impact. If this is something new to you, would love to know your recommendations before taking the final call on this. Note: We're taking care of all existing URLs, properly 301 redirecting them to their newer versions but there are some new URLs which are supported only on newer version (architectural changes I mentioned above), and these URLs aren't backward compatible, can't redirect them to a valid URL on old version.

Is it a good or bad idea (in Google's eyes) to add a forum to my website?
I have an active website with many users adding dozens of comments on the many pages of the site daily. I'm am wondering if it would be good for the overall ranking strength of the site if I were to add a forum to it (in a subdirectory, like forum.mysite.com). On one hand, I can see the forum posts as thin content, which Google wouldn't care for. On the other hand, I see the additional user engagement on the site, which I think Google would like. I know the benefits it can have to the users, but for this question, all I want to know is if this would be seen by Google as a plus or a minus for my site, assuming the forum succeeded in becoming popular. I don't want to do anything that will diminish the value of my site in Google's eyes. Thank you.

How does Google determine 'top refeferences'?
Does anyone have any insight into how Google determines 'top references' from medical websites?
For example, if you search 'skin disorders,' you'll see 'Sources include nih.gov, medicinenet.com and dmoz.org'--how is that determined?

Do 404s really 'lose' link juice?
It doesn't make sense to me that a 404 causes a loss in link juice, although that is what I've read. What if you have a page that is legitimate -- think of a merchant oriented page where you sell an item for a given merchant --, and then the merchant closes his doors. It makes little sense 5 years later to still have their merchant page so why would removing them from your site in any way hurt your site? I could redirect forever but that makes little sense. What makes sense to me is keeping the page for a while with an explanation and options for 'similar' products, and then eventually putting in a 404. I would think the eventual dropping out of the index actually REDUCES the overall link juice (ie less pages), so there is no harm in using a 404 in this way. It also is a way to avoid the site just getting bigger and bigger and having more and more 'bad' user experiences over time. Am I looking at it wrong? ps I've included this in 'link building' because it is related in a sense -- link 'paring'.

My site has multiple H1's, one in the logo image and one as a header. Is there any official stance from the search engines on this?
In doing some research on this issue, I came across this blog post which seems to suggest it certainly will be a trigger to search engines. http://www.seounique.com/blog/multiple-h1-tags-triggers-google-penalty/ Could be a false positive on his specific case, but I was wondering what the community thought. Thanks in advance!

We used to speak of too many links from same C block as bad, have CDN's like CloudFlare made that concept irrelevant?
Over lunch with our head of development, we were discussing the way CloudFlare and other CDN's help prevent DDOS attacks, etc. and I began to wonder about the IP address vs. the reverse proxy IP address. Before we would look to see commonalities in the IP as a way that search engines would modify the value to given links and most link software showed this. For ahrefs, I know they still show common IPs using the C block as the reference point. I began to get curious about what was the real IP when our head of dev said, that is the IP from CloudFlare... So, I ran a site in ahrefs and we got an older site we had developed years ago that showed up as follows: Actos-lawsuit.org 104.28.13.57 and again as 104.28.12.57 (duplicate C block is first three sets of numbers are the same and obviously, this has a .12 and a .13 so not duplicate.) Then we looked at our host to see what was the IP shown there: 104.239.226.120. So, this really begs a question of is C Block data or even IP address data still relevant with regard to links? What do the search engines see when they look for IP address now? Yes, I have an opinion, but would love to hear yours first!

Blacklisted website no longer blacklisted, but will not appear on Google's search engine.
We have a client who before us, had a website that was blacklisted by Google. After we created their new website, we submitted an appeal through Google's Webmaster Tools, and it was approved. One year later, they are still unable to rank for anything on Google. The keyword we are attempting to rank for on their home page is "Day in the Life Legal Videos" which shouldn't be too difficult to rank for after a year. But their website cannot be found. What else can we do to repair this previously blacklisted website after we're already been approved by Google? After doing a link audit, we found only one link with a spam score of 7, but I highly doubt that is what is causing this website to no longer appear on Google. Here is the website in question: https://www.verdictvideos.com/

Is it possible to lose rank because my site's IP changed?
I manage a site on the 3dCart e-commerce platform. I recently updated the SSL certificate. Today, when I tried to log-in via FTP, I couldn't connect. The reason I couldn't connect was because my IP had changed. Last week the site experienced almost across the board rankings drops on lmost every important keyword. Not gigantic drops, a lot just lost 2-4 postiions, but that's a lot when you were #2 and you drop to #4 or # 6. Initially I thought it was because I was attempting to markup my product pages using structured data following guidelines from schema.org. I am not a coder so it was a real struggle, especially trying to navigate 3dCart's listing templates. I thought the rankings drops were Google slapping me for bad code, but now I wonder....could I really have dropped down because of that IP address change? Does anyone have a take on this? Thanks!

The world of a middle-aged New York couple is turned upside down when the husband (Matthew Broderick) brings home an exceptionally engaging canine (Annaleigh Ashford) running loose in Central Park in this hilarious and heartwarming comedy!
From two-time Pulitzer Prize nominee A.R. Gurney (the Dining Room, Love Letters), SYLVIA is a wonderful look into the complexities of love and commitment and asks what it truly means to be devoted to your partner…and how do you choose between the love of your life and man's best friend?
Two-time Tony winner Matthew Broderick (It's Only a Play, The Odd Couple, The Producers, How To Succeed…), Tony winner Julie White (The Little Dog Laughed, Airline Highway), and fresh from her Tony-winning performance in You Can't Take It With You, Annaleigh Ashford (Kinky Boots, Masters of Sex) starred in this sidesplitting comedy.
"Dramatic literature is stuffed with memorable love scenes, but none is as immediately delicious and dizzy as the one that begins the redeeming affair in A.R. Gurney's comedy, SYLVIA…" —NY Times
"I can only call it one of the most involving, beautiful, funny, touching and profound plays I have ever seen…" —NY Daily News

It has been a very rainy week in Grand Cayman, but fortunately for this group from Louisiana the rain held off, and we were able to have near perfect weather conditions for their wedding.
Smith's Cove was deserted, so the photographer, Mari took full advantage of the variety of shots that she could achieve after the wedding ceremony was over.

Simplicity and robust control with the Erbi Breez ™ True Perfusion™ microfluidic bioreactor system
July 21, 2020 1pm EDT
Upstream process intensification efforts are becoming mainstream in every biopharma R&D lab and clinical program. The ability to scale down these processes has been limited due to the lack of appropriate equipment to perform perfusion cultures at scale less than 2-3L, which are costly to operate. Erbi Biosystems' fully closed, single-use, perfusion bioreactor operates at a 2 mL working volume and can replicate bench scale perfusion processes to industrially relevant cell densities. To achieve this level of performance in such a small form factor Erbi Biosystems has incorporated bubble free mixing, on-line sensors, automated bleeds, automated pH control, and integrated software-controlled operation providing deeper process insights.
Maximizing Yield for Attachment-dependent Cells with the Corning CellCube System
Jul 28 2020 12:00 pm EDT
As cell therapy trials advance from pre-clinical research to late-stage trials, cell culture platforms will need to meet increasing demands for cell yield. The Corning® CellCube® system provides a simple, compact, and scalable method for mass culture of attachment-dependent cells. In this webinar, we present data supporting expansion of two commonly used bioproduction cell lines – HEK293T and Vero. The basic closed system was configured with a peristaltic pump to drive continuous circulation through the CellCube 100-layer module and paired with the Eppendorf BioFlo® 120 controller with a BioBLU® 3c single-use bioreactor for medium conditioning. The controller simplified oxygenation and pH control of the circulating medium. Medium conditioning in the SUB was sufficient to sustain both HEK293T and Vero cell growth in the CellCube 100-layer module for 5- and 6-day expansions, respectively. Final harvest yields for both HEK293T and Vero cell lines greater than 10 billion cells demonstrate the utility of the CellCube system for mass culture of adherent cell lines with efficient medium usage.
Upcoming Ask the Expert Session Next Week: The Dos and Don'ts of Cryopreservation
Cryopreservation is an integral activity in most cell culture labs. Cryopreservation permits the storage and keeping of cells, tissues, and 3D systems like organoids, for future use. How cryopreservation is managed, the materials used and equipment employed can greatly impact its success. For instance, if cells are frozen too quickly ice crystals can form causing membrane damage and cell death. Thus, successful cryopreservation requires thoughtful consideration of several key items, including cryoprotective agent selection, contamination testing, storage vessels, and cooling rate, just to name a few.
With so many things to consider, it is great to have expert help at hand to answer questions about the dos and don'ts of cryopreservation. For this Ask the Expert Session, we have assembled a team of experts to answer your questions on cryopreservation. Please submit questions starting Monday!

Scalable High Yield System for Mass Culture of Attachment-Dependent Cells
As increasing numbers of cell and gene therapies progress from research to clinical trials and on to commercialization, the need for efficient manufacture of high numbers of cells is critical. Many of the cells used in these therapies are attachment-dependent, which means that they need a surface on which to grow and expand. This need for attachment makes growing them in large numbers more challenging, as adherent systems do not traditionally scale up to the high volumes that can be achieved with suspension systems. However, suspension systems typically require more time and resources to develop a successful process…
COVID-19 Therapeutics in Clinical Trials: The Immunomodulators

A Look Towards the Future of 3D Cell Culture – A panel discussion
Researchers have used 2D cell culture since the early 1900s, but we know that growing cells on planar surfaces have some drawbacks. Cells grown in vitro in 2D space don't behave like cells found in vivo. They lack critical cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions that drive their form, function and response to external stimuli. This limits their prognostic capabilities. More recently, 3D cell culture techniques have become popular because the cell morphology, interactions and tissue-specific architecture more closely resembles that of in vivo tissues. Spheroids, organoids and more complex 3D tissue systems, such as 'organ-on-a-chip' are examples of 3D cultures used by researchers to model native tissues…

Innovative Single-Use Freeze and Thaw Platform for Bulk Drug Substance
Successful bulk drug substance freeze and thaw is a critical aspect of biologics manufacturing. It is also time consuming and labor intensive. Historically, cryovessels have been the most common technology used for freeze and thaw due to their durability and scalability. However, cryovessels require extensive cleaning processes and infrastructure and labor to maintain them. These challenges, led companies to look for single-use alternatives. While single-use significantly reduces cleaning requirements, they are difficult to scale due to limitations of the size of the bags. Another downside is that they can be prone to integrity issues…

Automated Buffer Preparation – Increasing Production Capacity While Maintaining Footprint
Buffer preparation requires extensive footprint and is also resource-intensive. In fact, it is known to be one of the most resource-intensive activities in biomanufacturing as large volumes of buffers and process liquids are often required as production capacity increases. Thus the question exists how can buffer preparation be more efficient and not require footprint expansion. Is there a way to increase manufacturing capacity without increasing footprint and time spent on buffers? One possible solution is automating buffer preparation and I am pleased to share the following guest blog that discusses the advantages and addresses concerns about moving from manual to automated buffer preparation. I was fortunate to be able to interview the author about his article and have provided the transcript of our conversation following the guest blog…
Viral Filtration Validation Study Design – A Systematic Method for Choosing the Most Appropriate Test Approach
Viral filter validation is important to ensure the removal of viruses under the conditions seen at process scale when using scale-down models. When designing an effective study, there are key components that must be decided on. First, it is important to select a virus spike level that will allow for quantification of virus removal, without having a negative impact on the scaled down process. Second, it is important to understand how a virus prefilter will be incorporated into the study design…

The Deck of DT is back and so are the Bombers with the signing of Devon Smith.
Name: Devon Smith
Team: Essendon
Position: FWD
2017 Average: 81.6
Predicted Average: 95
Draft Range: 3rd-4th round (top-tier of forwards)
Yes, I am speaking with red and black glasses on here, but the trade of the trade period with the most Fantasy relevance was Devon Smith heading to Essendon. The Giants are so stacked that even the best of them struggle to hit the numbers they're capable of achieving due to the massive depth at the club. Smith was certainly one of those.
In his third season, Smith averaged a career high 94 from 21 games. He kicked 26 goals for the season and averaged 22 disposals with five tackles per game. This included top scores of 147, 137, 133 and 128. He predominantly played forward as he has for most of his six-year career at AFL level.
If we rewind back to his junior days, Devon Smith was a MID/FWD. He averaged 103 fantasy points in his final year of TAC Cup and has always been a ball-winner, being one of two players to average 20 disposals, 10 contested possessions, one goal and five clearances per game in 2011. He played 20 games in his debut season at an average of 67.9 and then 18 games at 74 in his sophomore year.
The last three seasons has seen Smith knock out 20, 12 and 16 games at averages of 85.9, 80 and 81.2. This isn't a lot to write home about, however, as mentioned he has spent most of his career as a small forward without the opportunity to run through the middle. Smith's move to Essendon should see the ball-magnet get midfield clock and in turn scores should start flowing again. Those matches he did play through the midfield or up on the wing were when we saw the better scores.
Essendon has added Smith to add midfield depth, not to play as a small forward. There's already Fantasia, McDonald-Tipungwuti and Green up there… plus Stringer. Of Smith and the former Bulldog in Stringer, the midfield minutes would be going to Smith.
The main reason would be his body. Devon Smith has been hampered by knee injuries in the last three seasons, including one that required surgery this year. This kept him out of the side for six weeks and it flared up again later in the season, missing a final and not being selected in the others. It does sound like the knee issues are behind him and Smith admitted that he could have managed it a lot better.
Another concern would be that he's just an 80s guy. You know, not going to be a real premium player that busts out the 90+ scores that justifies selection.
If the last three seasons are a guide, then that's where he'll be. Will he actually get the midfield time that he would need to take his game outside of the low-to-mid-80s range? The Bombers have a solid list of midfielders – Heppell and Merrett aren't being moved out of there, it's Zaharakis' best position, Goddard will still have plenty of time in there and there's no doubt that Parish and McGrath will increase their minutes. While it may not be the best in the competition, there's still a lot of talented names in there.
In Cal Twomey's best 22, Smith has been named on a forward flank.
At the end of the day, these concerns are warranted, especially with Smith still managing his knee. He will be back into full training when the Bombers resume after the Christmas break but could that also mean that he starts the season as a small forward and the best thing could be to wait on him?
KING – I'm backing in Devon Smith to be a top six forward. He'll average in the mid-90s with the role that he's touted to be playing and with injuries behind him, he'll embrace the opportunity he'll get at his new club. Smith is a midfielder and will be treated as such by the Bombers.
Only 10 of the players available as a forward averaged more than 90 in 2017. One was two gamer Jacob Townsend, a couple are key position players and only two played all 22 games. I don't have him at number one, but he will be among the top forwards I will select in draft. I think that we can possibly hold off a little in selecting our forwards on Draft day (get those 110+ mids and get a decent defender) due to being able to throw a blanket over a group in the forward group.
At the moment, picking Smith priced at the low 80s with at least 10 points upside means I'll start with him. I'm keen but I know others aren't so… hot tip, everyone will have him at some stage.
What will Devon Smith average?
More than 90.5
Less than 90.5

A Place Further Than the Universe Anime's Ad Previews Ending Theme
Kadokawa began streaming a new commercial on Thursday for the A Place Further Than the Universe (Sora Yorimo Tōi Basho) television anime. The video previews the show's ending theme song "Koko kara, Koko kara" (From Here, From Here) by voice actresses Inori Minase, Kana Hanazawa, Yuka Iguchi, and Saori Hayami.
The anime will premiere on AT-X on January 2 at 8:30 p.m., on Tokyo MX at 11:00 p.m., and on BS11 at 11:30 p.m. The anime will debut on MBS on January 9 late at night at 3:00 a.m. (effectively January 10). The anime will also be available through various streaming services in Japan, and the first episode will stream in advance on d Anime Store (Docomo Anime Store) on December 28, on Niconico Live from December 29, and on AbemaTV from December 30. Crunchyroll will stream the series as it airs in Japan.
The anime stars:
Inori Minase as Mari Tamaki, a second-year high school student a sunny disposition. Although she has a great attitude and is admired by her friends, she is not good at finding a place in their midst or being a leader. In spite of being filled with curiosity, she is also rather cowardly and timid. She is troubled by the dilemma that although part of her wants to do things, another part of her just ends up not doing them. Her nickname is "Kimari."
Kana Hanazawa as Shirase Kobuchizawa, a second-year high school student who attends the same school as Kimari. She is a black-haired beauty that turns heads, but she is shy and not good at conversation. When she actually does speak, she can't help but say rather nasty things, which leads to misunderstandings. She has few friends and is treated as an oddball at school. At school, she is secretly called "Antarctica."
Yuka Iguchi as Hinata Miyake, a girl brimming with curiosity and always looking for fun things to do. She is very friendly and can get along well with everyone. Since childhood, she has been a leader who has always willingly taken on roles of responsibility, such as class committee and club leader. However, she quit high school because of something that happened and is now working part-time at a convenience store.
Saori Hayami as Yuzuki Shiraishi, a girl who is one grade lower than Kimari and the others. She lives in Hokkaido. She has been an actress since childhood, and she now works as an entertainer while attending high school. She shows maturity and is a good speaker with has polite manners. She is concerned that because of always working, she is unable to make close friends.
Mamiko Noto as Gin Tōdō, the commander of the civilian Antarctic exploration group Antarctic Challenge. Gin was an acquaintance of Shirase's mother in high school, and she joined the exploration party after Shirase's mother previously encouraged her. She was also a member of the exploration group in which Shirase's mother went missing three years ago. Because of that, she has a sense of responsibility. She relies on leadership skills but sometimes becomes taciturn and uses few words, leading to misunderstandings.
Yōko Hikasa as Kanae Maekawa, the deputy commander under Gin. She got to know Shirase's mother and Gin as part of the previous Antarctic exploration group. She formerly worked for a company. Kanae turns her head quickly, talks a lot, and is very popular with men. She handles all discussions for Gin who doesn't talk much, and there is gossip that she is the commanding officer behind the scenes.
Lynn as Yumiko Samejima, the head cook for the Antarctic exploration group. She is a lively and spirited woman who is resilient in the cold despite being from Okinawa. As a mentor to Kimari and her friends, she teaches them things and becomes someone they can always talk to.
Hisako Kanemoto as Megumi Takahashi, Kimari's close friend since kindergarten. She's not good at girly things. She can see things with a somewhat cool perspective, and she doesn't get overly excited about anything. Watching Kimari become enthusiastic about going to Antarctica, she secretly becomes jealous.
Kaede Hondo as Rin Tamaki, Kimari's younger sister. She is a level-headed person who who looks after her older sister and is good at taking care of people. She is class representative at school. Although she is worried about her sister going to Antarctica, she supports her from the bottom of her heart.
Sayaka Ohara as Tamiko Shiraishi, Yuzuki's mother. She is also Yuzuki's manager and is in charge of her work. She is a "stage mom" who always wanted Yuzuki to become a performer since the girl was born. She does her best to make Yuzuki famous.
The project is reuniting the staff from No Game, No Life: Atsuko Ishizuka is directing the series, and Jukki Hanada is in charge of series composition and writing the script. Takahiro Yoshimatsu (Hunter × Hunter 2011, Trigun) is designing the characters and serving as chief animation director. Kenji Nakamoto is producing, and Madhouse is animating the series. Yoshiaki Fujisawa is composing the music. SAYA is performing an insert song titled "Uchū wo Miagete" (Look Up at the Universe), and she is also performing the opening theme song "The Girls Are Alright!"
The anime's story centers on high school girls going to the South Pole, "a place further than the universe." They struggle and grow together as they cope with extreme conditions.
Nene Yoimachi will launch a manga adaptation of the anime in the February 2018 issue of Kadokawa's Comic Alive magazine on December 27.
