BlackBerry 7 is the most secure mobile OS | BlackBerry Blast!
RIM has something to celebrate after all. Trend Micro named RIM's BlackBerry 7 OS the most secure mobile OS. The news was released in a report titled "Enterprise Readiness of Consumer Mobile Platforms." They compared Android 2.3, iOS 5, Windows Phone 7.5 and BlackBerry 7 and BlackBerry came out on top.
Researchers from Trend Micro, Altimeter Group and Bloor Research said that the Blackberry 7 OS scored highest thanks to its corporate grade security and manageability, and they also gave praise to the Apple Iphone for its lack of removable storage and applauded the robustness of Windows Phone 7.5.
Maybe RIM should stick to what it does best. Enterprise!

Summit Learning, the Zuckerberg-backed platform, says 10% of schools quit using it each year. The real figure is higher.
By Matt Barnum - May 23, 2019

When nearly 100 students walked out of their Brooklyn high school in protest last year, saying they were spending too much of their days in front of a computer, the story took off.
The students were complaining about their school's use of Summit Learning, a curriculum and online learning system backed by Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg. But the organizations behind Summit pushed back, saying the issues raised by the Brooklyn students weren't representative of what was happening at the nearly 400 schools using the program.
One piece of evidence they offered: just 10% of schools quit using the platform each year, a number that ended up in multiple news stories.
New data obtained by Chalkbeat — from Summit itself, in response to a public records request — shows that figure is misleading. Since the platform was made available, 18% of schools using it in a given year had quit using it a year later.
Asked about the discrepancy, a Summit spokesperson explained that its 10% figure comes from averaging the dropoff rates for each of the first three years. The number of schools adopting the platform was 19 in the first year and 338 in the third year, so Summit's approach is skewed heavily in favor of the first year's low attrition number.
Looking just at schools that signed on to the platform last school year, a quarter of them are no longer using Summit this year.
"We are extremely proud that the vast majority of schools that launch Summit Learning continue to stay in the program," spokesperson Catherine Madden said in a statement. A spokesperson for the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, which has also cited the 10% number, declined to comment.
Chalkbeat National
Your cheat sheet to the work being done to improve education in America
"Chalkbeat gives you an authoritative, at-a-glance overview of major education news and topics, both local and national." — Megan M.
The numbers offer a starting point for understanding the scope of pushback to Summit Learning — which has made headlines in Brooklyn, Connecticut, Kansas, and elsewhere.
Still, the data provide something of a Rorschach test for one's views on Summit and the broader movement to "personalize" learning to better serve students. A solid majority of schools opting to use the program are re-upping the next year, the data show. On the other hand, if the current attrition rate holds, half of the schools now using it may stop within a few years.
John Pane, who has researched personalized learning at RAND, said an 18% annual dropoff rate would seem high if all schools planned to use Summit on a permanent basis, but would be more reasonable if many were just piloting the program. At least some schools in the program have described their adoption of Summit as a pilot, and Summit itself notes that many schools try it out in a single grade.
"This kind of thing, the 'personalized learning' model that Summit has, is a really big change to how schools operate," he said. "When you're making a big change like that, there's a lot of work to do to get everyone on the same page, including parents."
The Summit platform emerged from a network of charter schools in California and Washington state. The model includes a technology platform that guides students through lessons but also a structure for the school day and year that includes weeks set aside for investigations into specific topics and time to work with a dedicated mentor.
It's grown with help from the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative. The New York Times recently reported that CZI has given $99 million to Summit since 2016 — a number that doesn't include the team of engineers CZI has paid to work on the platform. (CZI is also a funder of Chalkbeat.)
For the last several years, Summit has made its technology available to schools across the country for free. As more schools adopted it, scrutiny has ramped up, most prominently in the Times story highlighting complaints from parents and students in two Kansas school districts. Again, Summit and its supporters said that their experience was not representative.
The list of schools using the program each year sheds new light on this issue.
Of the first 19 schools to adopt the platform in 2015, all but two — nearly 90% — are using it this year. But as Summit has rapidly spread, attrition has also jumped.
Another way of looking at the numbers: about 25% of schools that have adopted Summit at any point before this school year are no longer using it.
Madden, the Summit spokesperson, told Chalkbeat last month that the the precise share of schools that left the program each year was 11%, or nearly a 90% re-up rate. Madden declined to provide more details, but Chalkbeat obtained additional information through a public records request to Summit's charter network.
From there, Chalkbeat calculated that 18% annual dropoff rate. Summit's number diverges from Chalkbeat's because it weights each year equally, regardless of how many schools participated. Summit also didn't count four schools that dropped the program shortly after adopting it.
Summit has recently spun off efforts to offer its platform to other schools into a separate nonprofit, T.L.P. Education, which would not be subject to public records laws.
So, is an 18% annual dropoff rate high, or in line with what one would expect for an effort to overhaul how classrooms work? That's hard to say.
As one point of comparison, Education Week reported in 2017 that a quarter of schools that had ever used the math personalized learning program Teach to One eventually dropped it. Unlike Teach to One, though, Summit is offered free to schools, which might encourage some to try it on a trial basis.
"Maybe the district feels like it's less of a risk, or may have less commitment, if they're not making a financial purchase," said Pane.
The Summit spokesperson said that some schools drop the platform because of changes in school leadership or the teaching staff or because their school district adopts a common curriculum and requires schools to follow it.
Some schools have done so in response to criticism from parents and students. A few have tried making compromises: After controversy, one Pennsylvania district allowed sixth-graders to opt into the program before announcing last month it was canceling Summit altogether.
"At this point there is declining interest, we couldn't sustain it with the staff, and our other class sizes are rising," said Superintendent Michael Vuckovich. "And we weren't offering a program with the fidelity it should have had." (This district is counted in Chalkbeat's data as continuing to use Summit because it only canceled the program last month.)
But most schools are sticking with Summit.
"In our own schools, we've seen real progress since implementing this approach," wrote Gordon Mohn, superintendent of one of the Kansas' districts featured in the New York Times article. "As students become more comfortable with the changes, we see greater student engagement and increased interaction between the teacher and student regarding the learning process."
Meanwhile, there remains virtually no external research on the effectiveness of Summit's model. Chalkbeat reported earlier this year that Summit had paid Harvard researchers to design a study of its model, but ultimately decided not to move forward with being evaluated.
Asked recently by Chalkbeat about research on the model, Sandra Liu Huang, head of education at the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, didn't offer specifics.
"We want to be able to figure out how to do a broader scale research study of that, but also understanding … it is a living, evolving, growing program that looks a little bit different in every context," Huang said during a question and answer session at the Education Writers Association conference earlier this month. "We're trying to figure out the best ways to do that."

Were you trying to check Facebook this Sunday morning and couldn'tt seem to log on? You weren't alone.
Facebook – along with Instagram and Whatsapp, which are owned by Facebook – experienced widespread problems this morning. People began having issue with the apps and the desktop sites about 6:30 a.m. About three hours later, the issue seemed to be resolved for U.S. users.
The site "DownDetector.com" showed Facebook having problems in several areas across the globe, with the Northeast U.S. as one of the trouble spots. Others include Europe and the Philippines.
So far, no word yet on what caused the problem. And event at 11 a.m. EDT, DownDetector still showed major outages in Europe.

"Chew 'em up and Spit 'em out": The Drone Operator Edition
Posted on December 17, 2015 December 23, 2015 by Laurie Calhoun in Conscience to Oblivion, Death of Military Virtue, Essays, Moral Analysis, news commentary, Operators
Any sober look at the recent history of veterans in the United States can only lead one to wonder why men and women continue to enlist in the armed forces in the twenty-first century. There was Agent Orange in Vietnam, the effects of which were denied for decades by military administrators, despite an abundance of scientific evidence that many veterans' illnesses were linked to exposure to the poison. Then there was the Gulf War Syndrome, a horrifying range of problems, many neurological, which arose among veterans subsequent to the 1991 Gulf War. Soldiers in that mission were told to bomb chemical factories, after which everyone on the ground was assured that when toxin alarms went off, they were malfunctioning.
During the protracted occupation of Iraq after the 2003 invasion, many troops were redeployed against their will and in spite of the fact that they had already been diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Some of them took their own lives. National Guardsmen, who had enlisted to defend the homeland in the homeland, were sent abroad as well, and record percentages of them also committed suicide.
The problems suffered by veterans engaged in Iraq and Afghanistan persist. The PTSD victims continue to be plied with in some cases deadly cocktails of drugs officially intended to alleviate their psychological troubles but which have not in fact stemmed the tide of suicides. It is plainly written in black and white on the labels of many of the antidepressants and SSRIs being prescribed by the VA that such drugs lower the threshold to violence, yet possible connections between the drugs and the epidemic of veteran suicides are doggedly ignored.
The latest episode in this scandalous chronology involves the young persons enlisted to work as assassins at a distance, lured in by generous salaries to kill people who never threatened them with death, under cover of what is dubiously claimed to be "just war". There is currently a recruitment crisis in the drone program. Why? Because the US government cannot find enough people ready and willing to kill on command by pushing buttons on computer consoles on the other side of the planet from the so-called battlefields where the allegedly evil targets—suspected of possibly plotting a future possible terrorist attack—are said by anonymous analysts to hide.
I've said it before, and I'll say it again: in Guantánamo Bay prison in Cuba, 86% of the detainees were eventually exonerated of any connection whatsoever to violent extremist groups. How many of the suspects dispatched under authorization by President Barack Obama, whose policy it is to "kill don't capture", have also been innocent? They are fingered by the same forms of intelligence: HUMINT and SIGINT. Bribed hearsay and circumstantial evidence. You do the math.
The government makes it sound as though the sole reason for the shortage of drone operators is that the job itself is taxing: the "long hours" and "fast pace" of the job are supposed to be the explanation for why remote-control killers are not re-enlisting once their initial contract term has expired. Needless to say, the government ignores claims to the effect that the true reason for some of these operators' refusal to reenlist is that they have painfully learned what the job really entails and want nothing further to do with it. Some now claim that they wish they had never enlisted. If only they could travel back in time…
Thanks to the testimony of brave men such as Michael Haas, Stephen Lewis, Cian Westmoreland, and Brandon Bryant, future prospective drone operators have been warned in no uncertain terms: you, too, may later conclude that you made an irrevocable mistake in doing what you were persuaded to do by commanding officers under cover of "just war". (Remember the Milgram experiments on obedience to authority?) Nothing is free, and if not now, perhaps later, the next generation of drone operators may, too, pay a heavy toll for acting against their conscience and suppressing the questions which arose in their minds before killing people who did not deserve to be summarily executed without trial.
Given all of this, each and every young person who is considering the career of professional killer in the service of the US government needs to view the below video before signing a contract which they may come later deeply to regret. Friends don't let friends sign contracts which may burden their conscience for the rest of their lives:

But has anyone ever listened to the soundtrack from that card game when it first came out? I'm not talking about the lame "cover it up" soundtrack they threw in before it died, I'm talking about the old ones that were suspenseful and grabbing like the national themes and the combat music itself really. It was a small soundtrack but i loved it a lot.
A shame they don't dig that up and publish it for download like WoT's 1.0 soundtracks.
Maybe if someone from WG happens to spot this and knows a thing or two about it they could find the old tracks and throw em out there, i know I'm not alone in saying they were actually good to listen to.
Otherwise, does anyone remember them or know them at all?


Celebrating the Arts of Japan – The Mary Griggs Burke Collection.
October 20, 2015–July 31, 2016 au Metropolitan Museum (Galleries 223-231).
This tribute to a great collector reveals the distinctive features of Japanese art as viewed through the lens of fifty years of collecting: the sublime spirituality of Buddhist and Shinto art; the boldness of Zen ink painting; the imaginary world conjured up by the Tale of Genji and classical Japanese literature; the sumptuous colors of bird-and-flower painting; the subtlety of poetry, calligraphy, and literati themes; the aestheticized accoutrements of the tea ceremony; and the charming portraiture of courtesans from the « floating world » (ukiyo-e).

How long does it take to finish a graduate program?
It takes two years of full-time study to complete a master's degree and one year to complete a certificate. Most programs permit part-time study — except the MFA in Creative Writing and the Certificate in Documentary Media Studies, which are full-time only. Master's programs must be completed within five years.
You apply online using our electronic form. Read the application instructions for your program carefully; requirements may differ from program to program.
Does The New School waive application fees?
The New School waives application fees for those who meet the eligibility guidelines outlined on the application website.
Should I submit an official or an unofficial transcript?
Unofficial transcripts with evidence of degree conferral are uploaded at the time of application. Official transcripts will be required only if an offer of admission is made.
What do admission committees look for in applicants?
First, we are looking for reasons to admit, not reject, applicants. We seek a diverse student community with a broad range of experience for all of our programs. Graduate school admission decisions are based on an applicant's potential to fit into the program and complete an advanced degree. Criteria include academic achievement and scholarship, motivation, maturity, and leadership potential, as evidenced by the applicant's experience and as described in letters of recommendation.

Some graduate programs permit highly qualified students from universities both in and outside of the United States to enroll as visiting students. Contact the Admission Office to see whether your program of interest offers this option and, if so, to get information about applying.
Note that credits you earn as a visiting student will be treated as transfer credits if you later apply and are admitted to a New School degree program.

When you need a document to be recognized in another country, it has to go through a process called "authentication" and "legalization". The entire process centers on certifying that the official signature(s) on the document are legitimate. There are three steps involved in the authentication and legalization process.
The first step involves signing the document in question in the presence of a notary public, who will affix their seal and signature to the document, certifying that they have witnessed the signature and that it is legitimate.
The second step, called "authentication", involves having the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFATD) in Ottawa certify that the seal and signature on the document are from a notary public currently in good standing.
The third step, called "legalization", is done by the embassy or consulate of the destination country. A consular official confirms that the document is prepared appropriately and will confirm the certificate of authentication affixed by DFATD. If all is in order, the embassy or consulate affixes a certificate of legalization to your document.
Each embassy has their own particular rules and regulations concerning the authentication and legalization process, and it is important to note that there are some exceptions to this standard process.
International Documents Canada is the specialist at authenticating and legalizing Canadian documents. Managing all aspects of the authentication and legalization process for you, saving you as much as several weeks off the processing time and providing you certainty and safety.

Q: Why checking duplicate in txt file doesn't work for the information stored in the first line in the txt file? I write a code to check duplicate user input in a txt file. when i click the button, it only checks from the second line in users.txt. which means, if i insert a duplicate the same as in line one, it doesnt work.
if(isset($_POST['button1'])) {
    $username1 = $_POST['username'];
    $usernames = array();
    $users = fopen("users.txt", "r"); //open file
    while (!feof($users)) {
        $line = fgets($users, 4096); //read one line
        list ($firstname, $lastname, $username) = explode(" ", $line);
        if (empty($usernames)) {
            $usernames[] = $username1;
        } else {
            if (in_array($username1, $usernames)) {
                echo "Duplicate username: " . $username1 ;

            } else {
                $usernames[] = $username1;
            }
        }
    }
    fclose($users); #close file
}
?>
<form method="post">
               <input type="text" id="username" name="username">

                    * Required
                    @gmail.com
                    <input type="submit" name="button1" class="button" value="Check ID" />

</form>

A: change the code to this:
<?php
if (isset($_POST['button1'])) {
    $username1 = $_POST['username'];
    $usernames = array();
    $users = fopen("users.txt", "r"); //open file
    while (!feof($users)) {
        $line = fgets($users, 4096); //read one line

        list($firstname, $lastname, $username) = explode(" ", $line);
        $usernames[] = (string)$username;
    }

    if (empty($usernames)) {
        $usernames[] = $username1;
    } else {
        if (in_array($username1, $usernames)) {
            echo "Duplicate username: " . $username1;
        } else {
            $usernames[] = $username1;
        }
    }

    fclose($users); #close file
}
?>
<form method="post">
    <input type="text" id="username" name="username">

    * Required
    @gmail.com
    <input type="submit" name="button1" class="button" value="Check ID" />

</form>

A: You have some logic issues.
$usernames is never empty. So you can replace this

if (empty($usernames)) {
    $usernames[] = $username1;
} else {
    if (in_array($username1, $usernames)) {
        echo "Duplicate username: " . $username1;
    } else {
        $usernames[] = $username1;
    }
}

by this

if (in_array($username1, $usernames)) {
    echo "Duplicate username: " . $username1;
} else {
    $usernames[] = $username1;
}

and more, $username1 is the posted username, there are no reason to put it in the $usernames collection.
Then you can replace this

if (in_array($username1, $usernames)) {
    echo "Duplicate username: " . $username1;
} else {
    $usernames[] = $username1;
}

by this

if (in_array($username1, $usernames)) {
    echo "Duplicate username: " . $username1;
}

And more, you do not need collect the usernames. You only need to check the current value in the loop. If the value match with $username1, the username exists. Using a break we can terminate the loop and prevent memory leaks.
See the the code

if (isset($_POST[ 'button1' ])) {
    $username1 = $_POST[ 'username' ];
    $users     = fopen("users.txt", "r"); //open file

    while ( ! feof($users)) {
        $line = fgets($users, 4096); //read one line
        list ($firstname, $lastname, $username) = explode(" ", $line);

        if (strtolower($username) == strtolower($username1)) {
            echo "Duplicate username: ".$username1;
            break;
        }
    }

    fclose($users); #close file
}

Additionally i have some suggestions:

*

*use the comma (,) character and save the file as a csv (comma separated values) file. With comma, you prevent errors with names that contains spaces.

*try to write modular code. In this case, you can create a function called usernameExists that returns true if the username exists and false it not.

*to compare usernames apply the trim and strtolower over the values

Here the final code
<?php

function usernameExists($username1)
{
    $exists = false;

    if (file_exists('users.csv')) {
        $users = fopen("users.txt", "r");

        $username1 = trim($username1);
        $username1 = strtolower($username1);

        while ( ! feof($users)) {
            $line = fgets($users, 4096);

            list ($firstname, $lastname, $username) = explode(",", $line);

            $username = trim($username);
            $username = strtolower($username);

            if ($username == $username1) {
                $exists = true;
                break;
            }
        }

        fclose($users);
    }

    return $exists;
}

// the logic is very simply now
if (isset($_POST[ 'button1' ])) {
    $username1 = $_POST[ 'username' ];

    if (usernameExists($username1)) {
        echo "Duplicate username: ".$username1;
    }
}

Editor and writer Margot Schwass looks at Frank Sargeson and his circle.
"[There] is a notion about that I am leading a little group that I train to write in words of one syllable," complains a leading New Zealand writer. "Dear oh dear, those who know me know that I am insatiably interested in a wide variety of writing." Another writer emphatically rejects that he is leading a school "where everyone sound[s] the same". Young writers, he says, "have to find a voice that is theirs, and that's their business and no one else's".
The first author is Frank Sargeson, writing to E H McCormick in 1945; the second Bill Manhire, speaking to Iain Sharp in 1991. Although nearly 50 years apart, the echoes are powerful. An established writer is read and admired by aspiring writers, his methods emulated. Willingly or not, he becomes a mentor and role model; he offers suggestions and support – and finds himself vilified for grooming a coterie of followers in his own image.
Conversations about mentors and their influence have a habit of turning into much bigger conversations about national literary identity, who gets to create, define and express it, and to what ends. In his 2003 essay, "The Baby Factory", Patrick Evans suggested Manhire's creative writing course at Victoria University was contributing to the steady homogenisation and commodification of New Zealand writing. Decades earlier, suspicions also surrounded Sargeson's influence on the emerging writers who gathered around him, the so-called Sons of Sargeson (A P Gaskell, G R Gilbert, John Reece Cole, O E Middleton among them) and others. He has been accused of something larger and more sinister than mere mentoring: of somehow hijacking the whole New Zealand literary enterprise, of airbrushing it into imitative uniformity, of controlling admission to the national canon.
In the course of studying for a PhD, I've been spending a lot of time lately in the company of Sargeson and two writers with whom he was closely associated in the mid-1940s: Maurice Duggan and Greville Texidor, the well-travelled Englishwoman who emerged as a writer during her eight years in New Zealand and whose work Sargeson greatly admired. Delving into their correspondence and works-in-progress, I've been struck by both how fertile and how contemporary this three-cornered exchange seems. It anticipates literary relationships and structures we tend to think of as decidedly modern: at times, what was going on in post-war Takapuna looks very much like an informal, spontaneous, non-institutional version of today's university-based creative writing workshops.
The emerging writers were often each other's first readers. They sharpened their claws on one another's drafts, or lavished them with praise. They recommended other writers and books, dissecting aspects of technique and execution. They unashamedly mined each other's lives and work for material. They tried out each other's voices and, in that act of ventriloquism, worked out how they themselves wanted to sound on the page.
Duggan and Texidor were particularly close and attentive readers of each other's work. There was mutual admiration – "I wish I could know how you do it … I am envious, and I know it's a bloody fine thing," wrote Duggan longingly – but also stern and trenchant criticism. "There's too much in it," said Texidor of an early unpublished Duggan story. "It is like a cake made entirely of raisins – it ceases to be a cake if you know what I mean." Elsewhere, Texidor admired Duggan's increasingly lush wordplay but cautioned him against over-writing: "though I can take more of this kind of thing than the average reader I did get bogged at the end", she says of a draft of "That Long Long Road" (1947).
The cosmopolitan Texidor – who had literary contacts of her own, as well as those made through Sargeson – also connected Duggan with potential publishers and editors. Unasked, she forwarded "Sunbrown" to Max Harris, editor of the Australian journal Angry Penguins (soon to fall victim to the celebrated Ern Malley hoax). She counselled against sending another story, featuring a suicide, to the New Zealand Listener, as "it's unlikely that anything so disgusting as death could appear in a family paper" [her underlining]. She offered to send Duggan's "Mezzanine" (c1945), along with one of her own stories, to the New York poet-editor Nicolas Calamaris, whom Texidor knew through her former brother-in-law, the Marxist journalist and war correspondent Sherry Mangan.
inhibits the content and renders it too personal".
Sargeson's influence on emerging writers, and the effect of his expectations, may not always have been benign: certainly, the high attrition rate among his protégés raises questions. But the Sargeson-Texidor-Duggan correspondence suggests that, for a few intense years anyway, this particular relationship was both positive and mutually productive. It helped Texidor and Duggan invent themselves as writers. For Sargeson – who, by the mid-1940s, was seeking a way out of the dead-end to which the compressed, austere stories of the 1930s had led him – it may have played a part in his reinvention. More broadly, eavesdropping on this three-way relationship reminds us that contemporary conversations about mentors, cliques, imitativeness and who gets to manage and modulate our literary production, are really nothing new.

Selecting a .Net content management system (CMS) is often a choice between Sitecore or Umbraco. Sitecore is the leading .Net licenced Commercial CMS platform. The number one .Net open source CMS platform is Umbraco. Both are great products and offer different features and benefits.
We're the Sitecore experts and one of a very select few Platinum Partners in the UK. If you've already made up your mind to get a return on digital investment using Sitecore, get in touch with us today and we can start the process. For a full, fair comparison, read on.
What are the differences between a commercial CMS and an open source CMS?
There are several differences between licensed, commercial platforms, like Sitecore and an open source CMS such as Umbraco.
There are a number of features and benefits to be considered when choosing Sitecore or Umbraco. An organisation's attitude to risk, long term vision and offline technical roadmap can influence the decision to choose one platform over another.
It's simple for content editors to enter or modify content using the feature-rich user interface with three different modes: Desktop, Content Editor and Page Editor.
Simplification of content entry by combing multiple views in the back office. In Sitecore you work mainly from the Content Editor tree view, whereas Umbraco has many different views.
Sitecore uses object based content items. This makes it easy to reuse content across the site or multiple sites.
Sitecore lets you set up complex validation rules for content entry. Umbraco only offers simple validation rules. If you want to create more complex field validation you need to either create complex regular expressions or develop bespoke data type controls which only creates huge developer overheads.
Sitecore's Page editor is far superior to Umbraco's Canvas mode. Allowing content editors to easily modify content inline, letting them work faster and more efficiently.
Logging in Sitecore writes to the file systems which can be archived off if required. Umbraco logs to the database which can have an impact on the size and performance of the database.
Sitecore provides a log file viewer out of the box to assist in diagnosing any problems, whereas Umbraco only offers log viewer as a free additional module.
Sitecore has three separate databases Core, Master, Web. The web database stores only published content for the live site. This means that the front end site is much quicker as it only has the content that it needs. It is also more secure as it can be on a separate DMZ. This means there is less risk of user error or a developer including unpublished content on the site before it is ready. Umbraco has a single database which includes all content.
Sitecore Community (previously SDN) has a raft of material, whitepapers and sample code for the various Sitecore products. It is more mature than Umbraco and feels more professional.
If you've decided to choose Sitecore for a return on digital investment, get in touch with us today and we can make it happen.
Large open source community with a small core team of full time developers. This can give more development flexibility than a commercial platform like Sitecore.
The Initial installation and deployments of Umbraco are more straightforward.
The configuration files in Umbraco are less complex than Sitecore's thousands of lines. This is probably due to the amount of features Sitecore comes with out of the box, but can make configuration easier.
The online community are friendly and helpful. You can easily find FAQs on the forum.
Out-of-the-box the UI is very simple. This means you can get up and running much quicker – Umbraco has a shorter learning curve than Sitecore.
You can install only the modules that you really need. But you need to know these modules exist and there are often several to choose from for the same task which can lead to complications.
Umbraco sell additional support license agreements. This lets you use their additional paid products Courier 2, Concierge & Contour.
Both support the latest .net technologies MVC, razor etc.
They have similar UIs with most functionality accessed via the content tree view.
Both CMSs provide User & Role based security management which use the standard Asp.Net Membership, allowing you to apply high-level or granular security.
Both support multiple sites and allow for content sharing across multiple sites.
Both provide workflow for publishing content.
Sitecore or Umbraco – Which should you choose?
Whether you decide to opt for Sitecore or Umbraco depends on several key factors. The number of websites, ability to integrate with offline systems and digital maturity are important considerations. Budget, ambition, size and scalability will also sway your decision.
Sitecore is the stand-out choice for larger organisations: It's a Customer Experience Platform that lets you connect with your customers across multiple digital channels. If you're a mid-large tier business looking to talk to and track your customers beyond your website, then Sitecore is a no brainer.
Umbraco better suits smaller organisations or SME's. It's pretty easy to use and open source so costs can be kept down for simpler projects. But cost can easily escalate for more complex projects.
Sitecore is our expertise. We're one of the UK's leading Sitecore partners. If you want to find out more about information, such as how much Sitecore costs, then either get in touch to book a Sitecore demo or contact us for more details.

Shake the coconut tin vigorously.
Pour into a rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Split the vanilla pod open and scrape out the seeds, stir evenly into the milk.
Distribute the sliced bananas onto the tray.
Place into the freezer, on a level surface, for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
Just before getting ready to serve, in a small skillet, gently toast the coconut flakes on a low heat (no oil) until lightly golden and crisp.
Transfer onto a plate and set aside.
When frozen, lift the sheet of coconut cream and break into large pieces.
Process until smooth, scraping down the sides, if necessary.
Stir in the walnuts and currants.
Scoop and serve immediately with the toasted coconut flakes.

Saudi Arabia, UAE and Yemen Welcome Trump's Decision on Iran Nuclear Deal
October 2017 Pan-Arab Issues
Saudi Arabia welcomed the new tougher U.S. policy toward Iran and stated that lifting sanctions had allowed Iran to create its ballistic missile program and step up its support for militant groups, The New York Times reports.
The kingdom said Iran took advantage of additional financial revenues to support the Lebanese Shi'ite movement Hezbollah and the Houthi group in Yemen, Reuters reports. The Saudis stated that they originally gave their full support of the Iran nuclear deal, believing it was "necessary to limit the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction in our region and the world."
"However, Iran had exploited the economic benefits of lifting the sanctions and used them to continue to destabilize the region, especially through its ballistic missile development program and support of terrorism, in the region, including Hezbollah and the Houthi militias, in Yemen," the statement continued.
Meanwhile, the governments of the United Arab Emirates and Yemen gave their full support to the decision of President Trump's tough new approach to Iran, Breitbart informs. The United Arab Emirates issued a similar statement of support for President Trump on Friday afternoon.
"For too long, the Iranian regime has spread destruction and chaos throughout the region and beyond. The nuclear deal—the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA)—offered Iran an opportunity to engage responsibly with the international community. Instead, it only emboldened Iran to intensify its provocative and destabilizing behavior," said the Emirati Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
The government of Yemen castigated Iran's "attempts to use the Houthi rebels as puppets to destabilize the region," in line with its campaign to "export violence and terrorism" across the Middle East.
"Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has been supporting and arming the Houthis in Yemen with sophisticated missiles and other technologies including sea mines and explosive boats, which not only threaten the region's stability but also threatens freedom of navigation in the Red Sea. Iran's destabilizing and dangerous behavior must stop for peace to prevail in the region," said the Yemeni statement.
