Midtown KC Post History
Streetcar history shows Kansas City development

Over at the NextRailKC website, there's an interesting history of the Kansas City streetcar lines. The history also gives a glimpse of how and why Kansas City developed as it did around the streetcar routes.
NextRail is the city-sponsored study of 8 potential streetcar extension lines, including potential Main Street and/or Linwood/31st Street routes in Midtown.
"Spanning the years from 1869, when Nehemiah Holmes inaugurated the first railway line, to 1957 which marked the end of the streetcar era, Kansas City has employed every available form of mass transit including horse and mule-drawn cars, to cable lines, electric traction, and trackless trolleys," the article says. It goes on to say that Kansas City had a more varied transit system than other cities of its size, including the third largest cable system in the country.
Some of the highlights of the history involve transit lines in Midtown:
One of the earliest street transport systems in Kansas was the Kansas City & Westport Horse Railroad Company with established routes throughout Kansas City reaching Linwood Boulevard by 1871. This and other horse lines operated for nearly two decades before cable lines eventually replaced them.
During the mid-1880s, cable lines began replacing the outdated horse lines. The lines began going east on Independence Avenue to Woodland in 1886. The Southwest Boulevard Line from 19th and Main to Edith Avenue in Rosedale, Kansas was the first to be electrified in 1896.
In 1911, the Metropolitan Street Railway Company decided to tackle the difficult grade on Main Street, between 24th and 27th Streets. It was not until 1919, when the project was completed, that the streetcars could finally use the new Main Street Route.
Independence Avenue was the first line to introduce the trolley bus, which was more economic to run than either the streetcar or bus. By 1948, "seven trolley bus lines had replaced existing streetcar lines," and "in the early months of 1954, the first of these lines was replaced with motorbuses. All [streetcar] lines were gone by 1959.
The Dodson Line, a steam-power, dummy freight line, ran on an eight-mile track from 85th and Prospect to 40th and Summit. This historic railway was the only facility for transferring freight cars to and from the Westport Industrial District. It was later electrified and used as both a passenger and freight line until 1957.

WHEN WE HARM ANIMALS AND NATURE, WE HARM OURSELVES | News
DEAR READERS: Senior reporter Josh Loeb's thought-provoking editorial "Cows and the carbon conundrum," and his function article "COP26: Is change afoot in livestock farming?", are each well timed contributions to the discourse. CAFOs (concentrated animal feeding operations), notably pig and poultry factories and beef and dairy cow feedlots, are anathema to sustainable farming practices. So is the overstocking and overgrazing of grasslands by cattle, sheep and goats, as emissions of methane — a short-lived however important greenhouse gasoline — are problematic.
The problems with local weather change, international warming and lack of biodiversity name for a reexamination of {our relationships} with and therapy of vegetation and animals wild and domesticated from the integrative perspective of One Earth, One Economy and One Health. Continuing to lift and kill farmed animals for his or her meat is a significant contributor to those planetary issues.
Ecologically sustainable and regenerative agricultural programs, equivalent to biodynamic farming the place farmed animals are built-in with crop manufacturing, can contribute to nutrient biking and carbon sequestration, or no less than considerably decreased carbon emissions. Relatively novel farmed species starting from tilapia fish to earthworms to black soldier fly larvae can present proteins, fat and different vitamins for people, companion animals and livestock alike. Also, livestock manure could be transformed into biogas to scale back deforestation, with the remaining slurry used to fertilize crops.
We are studying extra in regards to the important roles of microorganisms in terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems in nutrient biking and carbon sequestration. Industrial agricultural and agroforestry practices have degraded the soil high quality and biodiversity, with the lack of fungal mycelia now being a documented concern. Correcting such dysbiosis, an effort some see as no much less important than reforestation, would do a lot to assist cut back the severity of local weather change and enhance plant and animal well being.
Our air pollution of marine and freshwater ecosystems has decimated populations of nutrient-recycling and carbon-sequestering phytoplankton and zooplankton, which type the idea of the meals chain for different species. Too a lot of a superb factor within the fallacious place creates dysbiosis and pathogens. Over a thousand endangered manatees have starved to loss of life in Florida waters as a result of the sunshine wanted to develop sea grass, their principal meals, was blocked by algal blooms.
The economic system of nature, and in the end, our meals safety and well being, depend upon the ecological companies offered by the indigenous biodiversity of vegetation, animals and microorganisms. Our increasing inhabitants, and our encroachment and decimation of wildlands, will increase the chance of viral and different pathogen spillover of zoonotic ailments from wildlife. According to the United Nations report "Groundswell," by 2050, 200 million folks could also be climate-change migrants in search of refuge from uninhabitable homelands.
Our overharvesting of krill for oil and livestock feed for human consumption starves whales and likewise starves carbon-sequestering plankton of important vitamins from the fecal wastes of krill-eating whales. This is illustrative of our extractive and consumptive international industries and commerce that should develop into "green," with round and sustainable economies and commerce primarily based on the rules of One Earth, One Economy and One Health.
U.S. INDIRECTLY SUPPORTS BRAZIL'S CONTRIBUTION TO CLIMATE CRISIS
The Brazilian authorities beneath President Jair Bolsonaro has been unable to cowl up the lack of over 5,000 sq. miles of the Amazon forest (destroyed for timber, mining and land-clearing to lift beef and soybeans) that occurred between August 2020 and July 2021. This legal ecocide, which can be against the law in opposition to humanity, isn't helped when different nations, together with the United States, proceed to just accept imports of beef and soybeans from Brazil.
"Green" moral circumstances have to be put in place for the worldwide agricultural commodity import-export enterprise, and political commerce wars have to be eradicated. "Business as usual" isn't sustainable. Quite the alternative: It is decimating wildlife habitats and indigenous peoples. Consumers have the precise to see country-of-origin labels of all consumables available on the market, and President Biden must put this on his agenda.
In gentle of repeated cases of bovine spongiform encephalopathy, or mad cow illness, in Brazilian beef — and of delayed reporting of those cases — Sen. Jon Tester lately launched laws to "suspend Brazilian beef imports to the U.S. until experts can conduct a systematic review of the commodity's safety," per an announcement from his workplace. In my opinion, the ban ought to be everlasting.

Doris - On The Line
Model: TN617-62
Doris are a Western Australian duo made up of Margie Hanly and Jane Cornes. Producing original music that spans a range of styles and moods. Described at the 2007 National Folk Festival as "Acoustic purity, intoxicating harmony and wry humour"
CD REVIEW - By John Williams
Doris hail from Western Australia. Margie Hanly is a Perth native and Jane Cornes has lived there for the past twenty fi ve years since coming from England. They are becoming very well known and have appeared at a number of festivals and gigs in the past twelve months.
They have a great stage presence. Who could forget their performance at the 2007 National in the Sound of Music competition or Jane's contribution to the Great Poetry Debate.
On this CD they have written all their own material. Jane and Margie's voices intertwine beautifully and the mellow guitar backings are just right for the two girls' singing.
Now to the CD."Take Me to Your Country" is a beautiful song. "Sugar Daddy" will never be a feminist anthem but is most enjoyable nonetheless. "Only Mine" is a breaking up song. "Emma's Song" shows the redeeming power of love. "Circus" is a delight. The lyrics are witty. "No" is a powerful song about the things women agree to in life, often against their best interests. "Chains" is a song about a girl trying to do all she can to avoid getting hooked by a lover.
You'll enjoy the lyrics on this track. "It's Enough" is another lovely song with a positive message about accepting our life for what it is. "Primavera Meat Man" is hilarious, the lyrics are very cleverly written. This was my favorite track. "Glass of Wine" is a great song for those moments when we just need a drink. "Oolong High" is beautifully sung. "The Hate Song" is another very funny song with very witty lyrics. "Work" should never be played on a Monday morning.
Listen to it and you'll know why! The CD ends with the title track "Whisper the Moon" and is a lovely way to finish. This is a fine CD from two very talented singer/songwriters. Their fans have probably bought it already.
If you haven't been a fan up till now and buy this CD I am certain you will quickly become one. And look out for Doris at a Festival near you, you won't be disappointed.

Frank-ness and Conciliation for Times Past and Present
By Sam Howe Verhovek
Photography by Glenn Nelson
What to make of a defiant man who was arrested more than 50 times during his younger years and accused by our state of a crime that he fought all the way to the United States Supreme Court on the principle that it was, in fact, no crime at all? Who battled for much of his life, was cursed at by state and federal officials and reveled in being a living example of civil disobedience—all to make the larger point that cooperation was the key to our survival?
"We're all in the same canoe," Billy Frank Jr. liked to say. "And we have got to learn to paddle together."
Frank was the cantankerous Nisqually Indian leader whose successful crusade for tribal fishing rights made him one of the most legendary figures in Washington state history. He was quite comfortable with his many contradictions. And though he died three years ago, at the age of 83, I have been thinking of him a lot this year as a living example of how one might navigate the troubled currents of our civic life, both local and national.
To many in the Pacific Northwest, of course, this has been something of an annus horribilis, during which we have felt frustratingly powerless. We've been unable, for example, to stop the smoke of forest fires both distant and near from choking our region in ugly acrid haze this summer, or mitigate the effects in any way until the winds themselves simply decided it was time to blow in a different direction. We were caught unawares a few weeks later, when a rupture in giant nets at a Skagit County fish pen abruptly dumped tens of thousands of farmed Atlantic salmon into our waterways, a bizarre yet deadly serious threat to the biological integrity and health of our iconic wild salmon stocks.
And this was just the local misfortune, to say nothing of a national dialogue that at times seemed so profoundly, surreally and dismayingly off-course. How could sickening images from Charlottesville, Virginia, of torches and swastikas and aggrieved young men chanting, "Jew will not replace us," prompt such an equivocal response from the elected leader of our country?
To many in the Pacific Northwest, of course, this has been something of an annus horribilis, during which we have felt frustratingly powerless.
Were he alive today, Billy Frank Jr. would have some choice, surely profane words to say about all of this. And while he did say we're all in the same canoe, I think he would have had no hesitation in dumping overboard anyone trying to gash a hole in the side of the vessel. Still, the biggest battle Frank ever waged, the one that made him an iconic civil rights leader, was actually for the right to cooperate. American Indians, he argued, had no say over a right guaranteed to them by treaty, so he fought for their voice.
Frank first was arrested in December 1945 at the age of 14 for the crime of fishing. He kept fishing in his beloved Nisqually River and in other time-honored spots, and suffered through arrests and repeated confiscation of his gear. All the while he contended that treaties dating to the 19th century clearly gave Native American tribes the right to fish and hunt in all of their "usual and accustomed places," while state officials contended he and his fellow American Indians were breaking the law.
Getting arrested, Frank explained to the media, was a way of telling his story. That tale was amplified when famous people like Marlon Brando and Dick Gregory attended his "fish-ins"—and got arrested with him. It was a story that found its way into federal court. In 1974, the Nisqually and nearly two dozen other tribes in Washington state won a stunning victory when U.S. District Court Judge George Hugo Boldt ruled squarely in their favor. The tribes won the right they had been seeking all along: To co-manage salmon stocks with the state. In other words, they fought so that they could cooperate. (The principle was extended far beyond our state when the Supreme Court later upheld the Boldt Decision).
Were he present in these troubled times, Billy Frank Jr. would be looking for ways to bring together people of opposing views.
For more than 30 years after his legal victory, Frank served as chairman of the Northwest Indian Fisheries Commission. In this role, he amply demonstrated his ability to cooperate; the whole point was to work with government agencies for healthy rivers and sustainable harvests. In his later years he actually was recognized far more for his conciliation skills than for any verbal bellicosity. "A man unsuited to vengeance," as Seattle author Timothy Egan once called him, Frank was a key force in getting timber companies, environmental groups and commercial fishing interests together to forge two landmark agreements: the Timber Fish Wildlife Agreement in 1987 and its successor, the Forests & Fish Law of 1999.
Were he present in these troubled times, Billy Frank Jr. would be looking for ways to bring together people of opposing views. He would look approvingly on some recent small but promising examples of divides that have been bridged in our state. These include rural-urban coalitions for sustainable farming and logging, such as the unlikely alliance among timber interests, tribes and green-architecture proponents who are vigorously promoting the use of Cross Laminated Timber. The potentially revolutionary building product can be made from thin, burned or scrap trees once considered virtually useless as a construction material. CLT, as the product is known, is currently in wider use in Europe than in the U.S., but adoption here could provide thousands of jobs in economically depressed areas that have been passed over by the tech-fueled boom in Seattle.
Ultimately, Frank somehow leveraged a gutsy willingness to be labeled a public scourge into a position of universal respect. That was no easy feat but one worthy of study and perhaps emulation in this era, during which resistance is a buzzword on everyone's lips.
"It will be good for people in rural Washington and it will be good for the people in our cities where (most of) this beautiful material is destined," Darrington Mayor Dan Rankin said of the CLT initiative at Forterra's annual breakfast earlier this year. "Whenthis succeeds, our whole Pacific Northwest wins."
The year after Frank died, President Obama signed into law the aptly named Billy Frank Jr. Tell Your Story Act, which renamed the Nisqually National Wildlife Refuge in Frank's honor. It also added a national memorial commemorating the Medicine Creek Treaty of 1854. This agreement between the U.S. government and leaders of the Nisqually, Puyallup and other tribes was one of the central treaties that Frank had cited whenever some game warden or sheriff's deputy called his fishing a crime.

The IMF forecast on Tuesday that France, the eurozone's second-largest economy, will fall into recession this year with the economy contracting by 0.1 percent.
France's growth is forecast to be negative in 2013, reflecting a combination of fiscal consolidation, poor export performance, and low confidence," the IMF's chief economist Olivier Blanchard said in the foreword to its latest World Economic Outlook report.
The IMF's latest forecasts are more pessimistic than those the French government will sign off on Wednesday as part of its plan to get its public deficit back under the EU limit of 3.0 percent of output by 2014.
In line with the European Commission, the French government will forecast 0.1 percent growth this year and a rebound of 1.2 percent in 2014.
The slow growth rate means that France has to make more of an adjustment in terms of increased taxes and spending cuts to get the deficit down, which in turn could slow growth further.
The IMF's Blanchard noted that in conjunction with Germany posting growth of less than one percent this year, the recession in France "may call into question the ability of the (eurozone) core to help the periphery, if and when needed."
The IMF expects the French unemployment rate to continue rising steadily, from 10.2 percent in 2012, to 11.2 percent this year and 11.6 percent in 2014.

Q: How can I enable IDE integration (autocomplete) for WordPress test suite When testing a theme or plugin, you can use WP-CLI to scaffold the test suite setup, wp scaffold plugin-test plugin.
So is there a good way to integrate an editor/IDE (VS Code in my case) so that autocompletion (method signatures, etc) works within the tests? Since the test library is installed in /tmp/ the editor is not indexing those files and thus thinks classes and functions are missing.

A: In order of preference:

*

*composer require wp-phpunit/wp-phpunit --dev. Depending on the IDE you use you might need to mark the package in vendor/ as a source directory.

*Each IDE allows you to add definitions from external libraries. In PHPStorm it's Settings → Languages & Frameworks → PHP → Include Path.

*Just copy the files over to some directory in your project and exclude them with .gitignore (if you use Git for version control).

The U-platform (or U-body) is a front wheel drive minivan and crossover SUV platform from General Motors produced since 1990. North American sales ended in 2009, but Chinese production continues.  The minivans were divided into three generations, 1990–1996, 1997–2005 and 2005-current. The U-body was also used for General Motors' first generation crossovers from 2001-2005.

Keeping with its EPA designation as a light truck, the fifth character in the VIN for a U-body is "U", instead of the fourth, as is standard for cars.

Minivans

First generation

Released in the fall of 1989 for the 1990 model year, the U platform (GMT199) utilized a galvanized steel space frame underneath composite plastic dent resistant panels similar to those used in Saturn models and the Pontiac Fiero. The vans feature unconventional styling, which some commenters likened it to a DustBuster vacuum cleaner.

All models used a 120-hp, 3.1L V6 mated to a 3-speed automatic transmission. In 1992, the 3800 Series I V6 became available with a four speed automatic. Both were replaced by the LA1 3400 V6 in 1996.

1990–1996
The vehicles in this generation included:
Chevrolet Lumina APV ("APV" was dropped from the model name in 1994)
Oldsmobile Silhouette
Pontiac Trans Sport

In 1994, The Lumina and Trans Sport received a facelift, which shortened the nose and gave them a more conventional look. The Silhouette did not receive this update, however, and while it did receive a facelift in 1993, it was very minor with only the front bumper being slightly changed. The rest of the front end remained unchanged.

International
The Pontiac Trans Sport was sold in Europe as a rebadged Oldsmobile Silhouette with European safety specifications.

European customers had grown accustomed to sleek minivans, thanks to vehicles such as the Renault Espace, and did not object to the Trans Sport's futuristic styling. In 1994, when the Trans Sport was updated, the European version retained the original shape with a minor facelift, with the Oldsmobile Silhouette being sold as a badge-engineered Pontiac Trans Sport.

The European Trans Sport was also available with two options that were never offered on a North American specification U-body: A four-cylinder engine (the LD2 Quad 4) and a 5-speed manual transmission.

Second generation

In 1996 (for the 1997 model year), the second U-body (platform) minivans arrived, also known as the GMT200. The new minivans were of unibody steel construction and the styling was intentionally conventional to such an extent that contemporary reviewers remarked that without looking closely at the badging and grille treatments, these minivans could be mistaken for their primary competitors, the Dodge Caravan and Plymouth Voyager, which at the time commanded a 50% share of the minivan market.
Production of this generation was performed at GM's Doraville, Georgia facility, and later at GM Shanghai.

1996–1999 (Europe)
Opel/Vauxhall Sintra

1997–2005
The vehicles in this generation included:
 Chevrolet Venture
 Oldsmobile Silhouette
 Pontiac Trans Sport
 Pontiac Montana (Montana was a trim level of the Trans Sport prior to 1999)

2000–2005 (China)
 Buick GL8

International
 The Opel Sintra (badged as the Vauxhall Sintra in the United Kingdom) was an export built in the US alongside other vans for the European market. The Sintra used Opel engines instead of the LA1 3400 V6 engine that the US vans used.
 The Buick GL8 is sold by Buick only in China, but was exported to the Philippines as a Chevrolet Venture.
 The Pontiac Trans Sport of this generation was also sold in Europe, badged as a Chevrolet Trans Sport.

Third generation

The U-body was updated once again in 2004 for the 2005 model year, also known as the GMT201. These vans were referred to as "Crossover Sport Vans" (CSV) by General Motors, in reference to their SUV-inspired styling. North American vans were built in GM's plant in Doraville, Georgia. General Motors stopped minivan sales in the United States as of 2008. The Pontiac Montana and Chevrolet Uplander continued to be sold in Canada and Mexico for 2009. Production of the Buick GL8 continues in Shanghai, China.

2005–2009
The vehicles in this generation include:
 Buick GL8 (China only, produced until 2016)
 Buick Terraza (2005-2007)
 Chevrolet Uplander
 Pontiac Montana SV6 (2005-2006 in the US)
 Saturn Relay (2005-2007)

Fourth generation

In 2010, Shanghai GM introduced a new version (SGM258) of the Buick GL8 called GL8 Luxury Business Edition. The previous generation remains on sale as the Business Edition.

Prior to the car's release, a concept car called the Buick Business was shown at the 2009 Shanghai Auto Show.

Fifth generation

In 2016, Shanghai GM introduced a new version (SGM358) of the Buick GL8 in 2 versions: ES and top of the line Avenir. The previous generation remains on sale as the Land Business Class. The exterior was completely redesigned but the platform was retained. However, the platform was updated with a new, more sophisticated independent rear suspension. The only engine is a 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-4 cylinder engine. This generation of GL8 is produced in Shanghai rather than Shenyang where the older generations of GL8 have been produced since 2004.

Crossover SUVs

In 2001 General Motors decided to produce its first entry into the Crossover SUV category using a shortened U-body platform.

Vehicles:
 2001–2005 Pontiac Aztek
 2002–2007 Buick Rendezvous

Corey Goode, the designated intermediary of the Blue avians
Jan 03, 2021 Alien races, Aliens, Monographies, Religion and spirituality
Who's Corey Goode
Identified as an intuitive-empathic (IE) - a person that has natural inclinations towards heightened emotional sensitivity and Empathy - with precognitive abilities, he' s one of the most important insiders in the circle of informants in UFO and extraterrestrial.
According to his biography, like other gifted children, he was recruited through one of the MILAB programs (a series of occult training projects implemented by the US military forces) at the age of 6 and gradually indoctrinated and trained to be "used" in some military operations.
Goode served in the MILAB program from 1976 to 1987 and, towards the end of his tenure, he was assigned as an intuitive-empathic support for communications between terrestrial and non-terrestrial, within one of the alleged Secret Space Programs (SSP) unknown to most part of us and born around the 1930s for the purpose of exporting our industrial and military system to our solar system and beyond.
Thanks to these he was able to interface with humanoid extraterrestrial entities and travel in deep space aboard those military vehicles that were trying to steal alien secrets trying to intercept them before they reached earth.
Before exposing himself as an informerr, Goode worked for 20 years in the communications industry, gaining particular experience in hardware and software virtualization, electronic surveillance, risk assessment, executive protection, and, from 2007 to 2012, served in the Texas Army State Guard and C4I (command, control, communications, computers and intelligence).
Corey Goode and the Blue Avians
In recent years Goode has decided to reveal all the information in his possession: what makes him unique is his particular relationship with the Blue Avians, a group of interstellars who are part of the so-called Sphere Being Alliance, from which he would be designated as a delegate and intermediary between the various Confederations and Extraterrestrial Councils.
The Species of Blue Avians exist beyond the confines of space and time and would have visited the Earth for millennia, stimulating the spiritual growth of human beings and helping them to develop a form of collective consciousness that worked for the common good.
They are described by Goode as bearers of a message of peace and hope for humanity which, by urging them to improve and resolve conflicts, would allow them to achieve ascension to a higher level of awareness. As their consciousness grows, humanity can evolve and interconnect with planetary consciousness, and this is pushing men to rehabilitate and embrace the higher principles of service to others.
From Goode's words, therefore, a distinction emerges from alien races: there would be benevolent and malevolent species.
The contacts with the avians began in 2011 through dreams but it is only in late 2014 that Corey had his first encounter with an 8-foot-tall Blue Avian (Ra-Teir-Air) who appeared in his living room and telepathically showed Corey its unity with the entire universe as a fractalized manifestation of the infinite creator.
David Wilcock, arguably the most famous UFO and Ancient Mysteries researcher at the time and author of two international best-sellers, The Source Field Investigations and The Key to Synchronicity, also validated Corey Goode's testimony.
Goode now continues his work as an intuitive-empathic and is in direct contact with the Blue Avians who have chosen him as a means not only to interface with multiple Federations and ET Councils in their stead but also to relate to the Alliance Council of Secret Space Programs and to bring important messages to humanity.
Though Corey's direct physical contact with the Blue Avians ended in 2017, he continues to receive guidance from 4th density beings known as the Anshar, who have communicated a great deal of information to him about Earth's ongoing transition to 4th density.
" Every day focus on becoming more 'Service To Others' oriented. Focus on being more 'Loving' and 'Focus on raising your Vibrational and Consciousness Level' and to learn to 'Forgive Yourself and Others' (Thus 'Releasing Karma').
This will change the Vibration of the Planet, The 'Shared Consciousness of Humanity' and 'Change Humanity One Person at a time' (Even if that 'One Person' is yourself.)"

Over 40? Getting forgetful? Having trouble learning new things, or remembering that actress's name without reaching for your smartphone? Neurobics are simple, unique brain exercises that can be done anywhere, anytime. Now, the Neurobics bestseller How to Keep Your Brain Alive is repackaged in a trim, tote-able format that makes it an ideal gift.
Based on leading neurobiological research, Keep Your Brain Alive introduces a regimen of mental cross-training—a series of deceptively simple exercises that help stimulate the production of natural growth factors called neurotrophins, which in turn grow brain cells and keep the brain younger and stronger. And nothing so easily stimulates the brain as breaking routines and using the five senses in new and unexpected ways. So if you're right-handed, wake up tomorrow and brush your teeth with your left hand. Or close your eyes before you get in the car and insert the key into the ignition. Every time you open a new circuit in your brain, it's like doing a round of mental sit-ups.

Muslin is a cotton fabric of plain weave. It is made in a range of weights from delicate sheers to coarse sheeting. It gets its name from the city of Mosul, early muslin was handwoven of uncommonly delicate handspun yarn, especially in the region around Dhaka, Bengal. It was imported into Europe for much of the 17th and early 18th centuries, fine linen muslin was formerly known as sindon. In 2013, the art of weaving Jamdani muslin in Bangladesh was included in the list of Masterpieces of the Oral. Muslin from French mousseline, from Italian mussolina, from Mussolo 'Mosul', although this view has the fabric named after the city where Europeans first encountered it, the fabric is believed to have originated in Dhakeshwari, now Dhaka the capital of Bangladesh. In the 9th century, an Arab merchant named Sulaiman made note of the origin in Bengal. Bengali muslin was traded throughout the Muslim world, from the Middle East to Southeast Asia, in many Islamic regions, such as in Central Asia, the cloth was named Daka, after the city of Dhaka.
Some believe Crusaders of the First Crusade found the cloth in the Middle East, the word Muslin found its place in various European languages as French mousseline, Italian mussolina etc. In 1298, Marco Polo described the cloth in his book The Travels and he said it was made in Mosul, Iraq. During the 17th and 18th centuries, Mughal Bengal emerged as the foremost muslin exporter in the world, during the Roman period Khadi muslin was introduced in Europe and a vast amounts of fabrics were traded to Europe for many centuries. It became highly popular in 18th-century France and eventually spread across much of the Western world, brutality to muslin weavers was intense, William Bolts noting in 1772 that instances have been known of their cutting off their thumbs to prevent their being forced to wind silk. As a result, the quality of muslin suffered greatly and its finesse was nearly lost for two centuries, there have been various attempts at reviving the muslin industry in modern Bangladesh. At the end of the 16th century the English traveler Ralph Fitch greatly admired the muslin of Sonargaon, the Portuguese traveler Duarte Barbosa described the muslin of Bengal in the early 16th century.
John Baptist de La Salle was a French priest, educational reformer, and founder of the Institute of the Brothers of the Christian Schools. He is a saint of the Roman Catholic Church and the saint of teachers. De La Salle dedicated much of his life to the education of children in France, in doing so. He is considered the founder of the first Catholic schools, De La Salle was born to a wealthy family in Rheims, France on April 29, although some say 30, in 1651. He was the oldest child of Louis de La Salle and Nicolle de Moet de Brouillet, nicolles family was a noble one and ran a successful winery business and she was a relative of Claude Moët, founder of Moët & Chandon. La Salle received the tonsure at age eleven and was named canon of Rheims Cathedral when he was sixteen and he was sent to the College des Bons Enfants, where he pursued higher studies and, on July 10,1669, he took the degree of Master of Arts. When De La Salle had completed his classical and philosophical courses and his mother died on July 19,1671, and on April 9,1672, his father died.
This circumstance obliged him to leave Saint-Sulpice on April 19,1672 and he was now twenty-one, the head of the family, and as such had the responsibility of educating his four brothers and two sisters. He completed his studies and was ordained to the priesthood at the age of 26 on April 9,1678. Two years he received a Doctorate in Theology, De La Salle was a man of refined manners, a cultured mind, and great practical ability, in whom personal prosperity was balanced with kindness and affability. In physical appearance he was of commanding presence, somewhat above the medium height and he had large, penetrating blue eyes and a broad forehead. The Sisters of the Child Jesus were a new religious congregation whose work was the care of the sick, the young priest had helped them in becoming established, and served as their chaplain and confessor. It was through his work with the Sisters that in 1679, what began as a charitable effort to help Adrian Nyel establish a school for the poor in De La Salles home town gradually became his lifes work.
The Church of Scotland, known informally by its Scots language name, the Kirk, is the national church of Scotland. Protestant and Presbyterian, its decision to respect liberty of opinion in points which do not enter into the substance of the Faith. Means it is tolerant of a variety of theological positions, including those who would term themselves conservative and liberal in their doctrine, ethics. The Church of Scotland traces its roots back to the beginnings of Christianity in Scotland, while the Church of Scotland traces its roots back to the earliest Christians in Scotland, its identity was principally shaped by the Scottish Reformation of 1560. At that point, many in the church in Scotland broke with Rome, in a process of Protestant reform led, among others. It reformed its doctrines and government, drawing on the principles of John Calvin which Knox had been exposed to living in Geneva. The 1560 Reformation Settlement was not ratified by the crown, as the monarch, Queen of Scots, a Catholic, refused to do so, and the question of church government remained unresolved.
In 1572 the acts of 1560 were finally approved by the young King James VI, the son of Queen Mary and his supporters enjoyed some temporary successes—most notably in the Golden Act of 1592, which gave parliamentary approval to Presbyterian courts. By the time he died in 1625, the Church of Scotland had a panel of bishops and archbishops. General Assemblies met only at times and places approved by the Crown, Charles I inherited a settlement in Scotland based on a balanced compromise between Calvinist doctrine and episcopal practice. Lacking the political judgement of his father, he began to upset this by moving into dangerous areas. Disapproving of the plainness of the Scottish service he, together with his Archbishop of Canterbury, William Laud, the centrepiece of this new strategy was the Prayer Book of 1637, a slightly modified version of the Anglican Book of Common Prayer. Although this was devised by a panel of Scottish bishops, Charles insistence that it be drawn up in secret, when the Prayer Book was finally introduced at St Giles Cathedral in Edinburgh in mid-1637 it caused an outbreak of rioting, which spread across Scotland.
It is known as academical dress, and, in the United States, as academic regalia. Contemporarily, it is seen only at graduation ceremonies, but formerly academic dress was. Today the ensembles are distinctive in some way to each institution, and generally consists of a gown with a separate hood, Academic dress is worn by members of certain learned societies and institutions as official dress. Some older universities, particularly Oxford and Cambridge, have a set of dress to be worn under the gown. In the Commonwealth, gowns are worn open, while in the United States it has become common for gowns to close at the front, as did the original roba. In either case, the American Council of Education allows for the comfort of the wearer, and concedes that lighter materials be used in tropical climates, in addition, it acknowledges cotton poplin, rayon, or silk as appropriate. The materials used for academic dress vary and range from the economical to the very expensive. For some doctoral graduates commencement will be the time they wear academic regalia.
These rented gowns are made of inexpensive polyester or other man-made synthetic fibre. In Britain, rented gowns are almost always polyester while Russell cord, undergraduate gowns are usually made from cotton or cotton and polyester mix and are relatively inexpensive to encourage students to own them. People who choose to buy their dress may opt for finer fabrics, such as poplin, Percale, wool, broadcloth, Russell cord or corded/ribbed material. For silk, there are a range of types including artificial silk/rayon, taffeta, alpaca, true silk, pure Ottoman silk is rarely used except for official gowns as it is very expensive. Some gowns may be trimmed with lace, buttons or other forms of decoration. In the past, fur has been used to line certain hoods which range from rabbit to ermine, in the past, sheepskin was widely used. Most now use imitation fur instead, mainly because of cost, some robemakers will use fur if the customer requests and pays for it, as some feel that the quality and feel of artificial fur has yet to match that of real fur.

Ца-йиг (тиб: བཅའ་ཡིག་, Wylie: bca' yig) — это любой монастырский устав или кодекс нравственной дисциплины, основанный на своде тибетских буддийских заповедей. У каждого тибетского монастыря и обители был свой Ца-йиг, и разнообразие в содержании Ца-йиг показывает некоторую степень автономии и внутренней независимости монастырей.

В Бутане Ца-йиг Ченмо (Дзонг-кэ: བཅའ་ཡིག་ཆེན་མོ་; Вайли: bca' yig chen-mo; «конституция, свод законов») это правовой кодекс, принятый основателем Шабдрунгом Нгавангом Намгьялом около 1629 года. Прежде чем Шабдрунг принял Ча Йиг в качестве национального правового кодекса, он установил этот кодекс в качестве закона монастырей Ралунг и Чагри-гомпа в 1620 году.

Кодекс описывал духовный и гражданский режим и содержал законы для государственного управления, а также для социального и морального поведения. Обязанности и добродетели, присущие буддийскому религиозному закону (Дхарме), играли большую роль в юридическом кодексе, который оставался в силе до 1960-х годов.

Монашеские уставы
Ца-йиг, как монастырские уставы или предписания, подчеркивают организационную структуру и литургический календарь. Считаясь особым видом буддийской литературы, эти кодексы тесно связаны с общими правилами Винаи, касающимися индивидуальной морали и поведения, но отделены от них. Хотя они имеют некоторые общие элементы основной структуры, отдельные кодексы Ца-йиг значительно отличаются по объёму и содержанию, так что ни один из них нельзя назвать типовым. Эти вариации указывают на определённую степень монастырской автономии и внутренней независимости.

Например, в одном из Ца-йиг содержались законы о запрете охоты для монахов, а также о регулировании охоты среди мирян. В Ца-йиг одного монастыря Гелугпа говорится: «Когда появляются странствующие охотники на дичь, их следует наказать, собрав их оружие в храме покровителя, и, кроме того, ещё раз увещевать соблюдать закон».

Ца-йиг не ограничивается тибетским буддизмом общего направления, он применялся и в монастырях религии Бон. Например, в 1902 году законы Ца-йиг были записаны на широком листе бумаги дафни и вывешены на видном месте в тибетском монастыре Бонпо. Согласно Ца-йиг, если рукоположенный монах был уличен в нарушении правил, особенно тех, которые касались целомудрия, он должен был быть немедленно наказан и изгнан из монастыря. Однако такие наказания заменялись штрафами, например, выплатой денег ламе, который его рукоположил, и предоставлением развлечений и подарков для других монастырских властей и членов общины.

Ца-йиг в Бутане
Ца-йиг занимал особое положение в Бутане как основной правовой кодекс страны с момента его основания в 1629 году и до становления современной бутанской монархии, пока не был де-юре отменен в 1965 году. За это время социальный и моральный кодекс Шабдрунга Нгаванга Намгьяла эволюционировал в свод нормативно-правовых актов объединённого Королевства Бутан. Многие основные положения бутанского Ца-йиг сохранились в современных правовых кодексах, включая Конституцию страны.

Ранний Бутан

В Ца-йиг Шабдрунга Нгаванга Намгьяла изложена дуальная система управления Бутана, представляющая собой синтез духовной и мирской власти. Центральным элементом системы был дух совершенного бескорыстия в отношении атрибутов власти. Ца-йиг регулировал поведение и отношения между дебами (королями), священством и райятами (крестьянами). Говорили, что духовные законы напоминают шелковый узел, известный как «Чхо-Тхрим Дарги Дудпху», легкий и легкий вначале, но постепенно становящийся все туже и туже; мирские и монархические законы напоминали золотое ярмо, известное как «Гьял-Тхрим Серги Ньяшинг», становящееся все тяжелее и тяжелее. Оба символа изображены на гербе современного Королевского суда.

Ца-йиг содержал запреты на «десять нечестивых поступков». В число запретов входило убийство — преступление, наказываемое выплатой «кровавых-денег». Грабеж и кража церковного или монастырского имущества компенсировались возмещением ущерба или выплатой компенсации. Ца-Йиг предусматривал восьмидесятикратное возмещение ущерба в случае кражи имущества короля и восьмикратное возмещение ущерба в случае кражи среди подданных. Прелюбодеяние также наказывалось штрафом. Ложь наказывалась преданием преступника смерти в храме, а также призывом божеств-покровителей и богов.

Ца-йиг также содержал обязанности, называемые «шестнадцатью актами общественного благочестия». Все должны были относиться к родителям с сыновьей почтительностью и привязанностью, а к старшим — с почтением. Все должны были с благодарностью принимать любые добрые дела, сделанные другими по отношению к ним. Кроме того, они должны были избегать нечестности и использования ложных мер. Такова суть «шестнадцати актов общественного благочестия» Ца-йиг.

Современный Бутан

В 1907 году Угьен Вангчук, Пенлоп (управитель) Тронгса, укрепил власть в качестве наследственного монарха Бутана и наследника должности Друк Деси в рамках дуальной системы управления. Вскоре после восшествия на престол и вступления в должность король счел необходимым внести ряд изменений в существующий Ца-йиг, ссылаясь на «опасную распущенность», которая «проникла во все отрасли правосудия». Ламы были замечены в нарушении клятвы и других священнических обычаев. Между тем, коррупция в правительстве и неадекватность правоохранительных органов привели к потере веры населения в своих правителей.

Поэтому король ввел в Ца-йиг новые правила, которые он обосновал с позиции буддийских заповедей. Прежде всего, король издал законы о сборе налогов и подотчетности сборщиков перед королем, запретил объединение владений раиятов (крестьян), аннулировав задним числом такие предыдущие объединения, и предусмотрел передачу имущества лам после смерти или выхода на пенсию, чтобы сократить их число и власть. Также были уточнены правила поведения в дзонгах. Важным институтом оставалось налогообложение в форме трудовой повинности.

Реформы короля Угьена Вангчука запретили продажу и покупку рабов и ограничили использование кули государственными служащими только теми случаями, когда этого требовало здоровье служащего. В остальном институт рабства в Бутане оставался нетронутым: рабы, пытавшиеся бежать, подлежали задержанию, а тот, кто укрывал беглого раба, должен был «исправить положение раба». Однако если кто-то возвращал сбежавшего раба, владелец был обязан по закону выплатить ему компенсацию за потраченное время и усилия.

Те, кто укрывал воров, должны были понести такое же наказание, как и сами преступники. Тот, кто неправомерно угрожал или пытался ударить другого мечом, подлежал штрафу за удар мечом. Тот, кто совершил убийство, но не скрылся с места преступления, должен был быть наказан «привязан к трупу убитого, которого он убил», тогда как скрывшийся мог быть убит в любом месте и в любое время, где бы его ни поймали. Дети убитого должны были быть изгнаны из дома, что являлось своего рода статусным преступлением. Исключения из запрета на убийство были уточнены и включали самооборону, оправдывая жертв воров и грабителей, которые побеждали и убивали нападавших. Те, кто убивал известных воров или врагов во время войны, должны были быть вознаграждены. Неповиновение и коррупция в правительстве, а также подделка правительственных писем должны были наказываться ослеплением или обезглавливанием.

Реформы короля сопровождаются погребальными и другими религиозными правилами. Также был введен запрет на «самую грязную и вредную траву, называемую табаком».

Кодификация и отмена
Внук Угьена, король Джигме Дорджи Вангчук, провел дальнейшую реформу Ца-йиг в рамках своей более широкой программы модернизации. Он начал открывать Бутан для внешнего мира и сделал первые шаги к демократизации Бутана. Вступив на престол в 1952 году, Джигме Дорджи Вангчук положил конец феодализму и рабству и освободил всех оставшихся крепостных.

Ца-йиг был пересмотрен в 1957 году и заменен новым кодексом в 1965 году. Однако кодекс 1965 года сохранил большую часть духа и сути кодекса XVII века. Семейные вопросы, такие как брак, развод и усыновление, обычно решались путем обращения к буддийскому или индуистскому религиозному праву. В современном Бутане главы деревень часто рассматривали мелкие дела, а крупные преступления решали чиновники Дунгхага (района). Хотя уголовные кодексы Бутана по-прежнему основаны на принципах Ца-йиг, Конституция Бутана 2008 года фактически отменяет прямую политическую власть лам, смертную казнь и изгнание. Однако современная Конституция сохраняет наборы обязанностей и запретов в форме двуединства, аналогичного первоначальному Ца-йигу.

Daily, I'm presented with questions from customers about how they can plan for their new initiatives, what technologies they should be considering for their business needs and how to know what is an emerging technology versus what is just a fading trend. This year, IT leaders should be aware that these are the trends that are sticking around and will continue to see investment and development as they become staples in the way businesses operate.
Businesses that are considering IoT or have already rolled it out will continue to see the new impacts and developments around making it smarter, faster and more supported. Don't be afraid of the new technology coming into the market — the industry is moving rapidly, and new platforms will become adoptable more quickly than in the past.
Business leaders wanting to incorporate AI into their businesses must first analyze the outcome they're aiming for. Determining that will help guide them toward what technologies will serve them the best.
As companies continue to make their operations "smart," I see the market making significant gains to keep up with the compute needs of those platforms. The edge is no longer in proof-of-concept phase; it has entered into mainstream adoption and is predicted to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 41%. Businesses are adopting edge strategies to continue to advance their operations and bring real-time performance to their networks.

Saudi bombing raids will continue in Yemen until rebels 'withdraw and surrender their weapons': Arab League
Posted by aurelius77 on March 31, 2015
Saudi-led bombing raids will continue in Yemen until Shia insurgents who have taken control of swathes of the country "withdraw and surrender their weapons," the Arab League said Sunday.
Officials from Sunni Arab states, attending a summit in the Egyptian city of Sharm el Sheikh, also announced plans to set up a joint reaction force to tackle uprisings in the region.
The summit was attended by Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi, Yemen's president, who fled last week after Iranian-backed fighters known as the Houthis captured the capital Sana'a and closed in on his final stronghold in the south. Saudi Arabia has led air strikes against Houthi positions since Wednesday night, expanding its coalition of allies to include several Sunni states, and attracting logistical support from Britain and the United States. Yemen's Houthi-controlled health ministry said the bombing killed 35 people on Saturday night.
Nabil Elaraby, the secretary-general of the Arab League, said Yemen had been "on the brink of the abyss", and that the military operation had been the only option left "to end the Houthi coup."
Although Yemen's conflict is the product of long standing, localised grievances, it is morphing into a sectarian proxy war between two of the Middle East's biggest powers, the Sunni monarchs of Saudi Arabia and the Shia mullahs of Iran. Also playing a role is Ali Abdullah Saleh, Yemen's former president, who has directed loyalist army units to support the Houthis. He was ousted from the leadership after the 2011 Arab Spring.

A Decade of Neglect
"A Decade of Neglect: Public Education Funding in the Aftermath of the Great Recession," details the devastating impact on schools, classrooms and students when states choose to pursue an austerity agenda in the false belief that tax cuts will pay for themselves.
The comprehensive report offers a deep dive into the long-term austerity agendas and historic disinvestment that sparked the wave of nationwide walkouts this spring.
Among the findings: K-12 education is drastically underfunded in every single state in the United States. When you control for inflation, there are 25 states that spent less on K-12 education in 2016 than they did prior to the recession. But there are signs of the negative impact of austerity even in states with relatively stronger investment in schools.
Chronic underfunding explains why, in 38 states, the average teacher salary is lower in 2018 than it was in 2009, and why the pupil-teacher ratio was worse in 35 states in 2016 than in 2008.
While the recession may have forced budget cuts on our schools, the report exposes how Republican legislators and governors prolonged the damage by cutting taxes for the rich at the expense of public schools.
A majority of Americans instead support repealing tax cuts for the rich and using that money to invest in education, infrastructure and healthcare.
The report measures each state's "tax effort"—that is, how much they tax, compared with how rich they are. Of the 25 states with the worst K-12 funding, 18 of them have taxed their residents less since the recession. Five of the 11 states with the lowest K-12 funding—Florida, Nevada, South Dakota, Tennessee, and Texas—are also among those with the lowest taxes on the rich.
The problem only gets worse in higher education, where 41 states spent less per student, creating a massive affordability and accessibility gap. This explains why tuition and fees for a two-year degree in 2017 rose at three times the rate of inflation when compared with 2008, and why the cost of a four-year degree rose even higher, putting college woefully out of reach for far too many Americans.
The report was accompanied by a key resolution, passed by delegates at the AFT's biennial convention in July 2018, to turn the data into action.

This all sounds pretty good on paper, right? Well let's figure out how it appears in practice. In this review, we will have a look at their drag and drop editor and see if it's any good for producing a website, site or online shop.
On The broad spectrum of website building solutions, Weebly lives on the end that's all-inclusive and provides all you want to begin and grow your site. It is in contrast to options where you purchase, install, and handle all of the"pieces" of your website individually.
Using Weebly is kind of like leasing and customizing a apartment in a nice development instead of buying and owning your own house. You're still in control of decoration, cleaning, and everything living-wise — however you leave the building, plumbing, safety, and infrastructure to the house owner. That point is critical since there's usually a direct tradeoff between control and convenience.
All The design and functionality which are contained with Weebly work seamlessly together as a stage. That's what lets them own drag and drop layout, layout, and articles.
Website Builders as a group compete with choices like WordPress.org (that provides the totally free software to build a site that you own & control — visit my WordPress setup guide here) all the way to options like typing real HTML code into a text document. Make sense? Awesome, let's dive into the Weebly review.
One Other quick aside — a disclosure — I get referral fees from all of the companies discussed in this informative article. My opinions & study are based on my experiences as either a paying customer or adviser to a paying client.
You might find that elements snap into position And arrange themselves flawlessly on the page. Other solutions, such as Wix, forego the grid system, so it is very possible to end up with overlapping elements. With Weebly, no risk of that happening.
Working with text is also a breeze in Weebly. You just click what you want to edit and type your own words in the box. Some other options use"entrance masks" that are a bit more abstract and not always easy to utilize.
So are there Any drawbacks? This is different. If you want to have more freedom with your designs, then you might feel frustrated with the rigid grid system. You should go to get Wix. This competition also has an automated solution (Wix ADI) that can build the website for you pretty much by itself. You may possibly shave off a few minutes of your site building time.
There are also two things we'd like to see. First is a worldwide reverse button. You can undo everything you type in text boxes, but it will be nice to erase mistakes when you move or add components. Second, Weebly doesn't have an overall media database which keeps all your pictures. You're going to have to re-upload pictures for every element that requires them.
If any of those Above are must-haves for your site, you will have to update to Weebly Pro. And for a more complete breakdown, please refer to our complete Weebly pricing comparison page.
Let us get one thing out of the way . if You're an advanced SEO expert who certainly must rank #1 on search engines to get a very competitive keyword, you might have a difficult time using Weebly. It is not impossible, but there are limits.
· Your headings are confined to H2. There is a free program that lets you insert key words from h1 to h6, however, it messes a bit with your formatting. We wonder why Weebly doesn't integrate it into their system.
· Particular pages (categories and product pages) add a mandatory string to your URL. You get things like www.yoursite.com/store/p1/my-product/yellow. Not a huge issue unless your website isn't in English. Same with the website articles, they will have'/blog/' in the URL structure and this can not be changed.
As far as we Know, very secure. The company takes safety very seriously. They promote strong passwords, and supply SSL encryption on all plans. The free tier will operate on https that delivers an excess layer of safety. Especially important for on-site personal data exchange (e.g. charge card or email address).
Unfortunately, we wish Weebly offered more in the way of backup and restore systems. You have to take care of it manually by saving your website for a .zip file frequently. And there is no restore function in case disaster strikes. Wix, for instance, tracks new changes and allows you to jump back in time to a previous version of your website.
The First thing to notice is that Weebly does not have a whole lot of template layouts (around 50), but you should easily have the ability to find one you like. There are various categories available. Online Store, Business, Portfolio, Personal, Event and Blog.
We'd say yes, with a caveat. It is great to Sell physical and digital products for small and medium-sized stores, but maybe not for huge ones. Even though you may use the export and import function to manage many items, you might find Weebly lacking in features for enormous stores.
Ultimately, it's worth noting that even though You can create a shop with the Starter and Guru plan, upgrading to Business and greater makes more sense. You are going to find the automated shipping and sales tax calculator, which is extremely useful for serious shop owners. What's more, you won't need to pay an additional transaction fee of 3%.
You bet! There are no less than 300 programs in A number of categories such as eCommerce, Communication, Marketing, Social, or Site Tools. Many are free, some are paid. Some are built by Weebly, some by third-party developers. For the latter, there is always an (unlikely) possibility that it might shut down a single day. Additionally a pity the programs produced by Weebly are rather limited.
However, 1 thing all the programs have in Common is that a super simple installation attribute. Click and bam! All apps are analyzed and will work instantly on your website. We attempted some cool ones such as a way to include tables, event calendars, and info bars to display special info. Our only qualm is that the quality and amount of programs is a slightly inferior those from the Wix App Store.
Weebly supplies Hosting for all the sites which are built on their platform. That may be good or bad, but in Weebly's situation, it is an expert. They have fast load speeds. Their websites are optimized for their own hosting. They treat safety against hackers and spam. With business plans, they install and maintain SSL across your whole website. Here's my speed test.
There Are still pace and safety risks, but it's an edge for many website owners to have someone else care for speed, security, backups, etc.. The cost is bundled with expert and free accounts, so it's a good value-add.
Whenever You start some piece of software — no matter how instinctive — there's that moment where you think"ok, what can I do now?" This approach is called onboarding, and it is also incredibly hard to implement well.
The Software maker does not want to be annoying, but they also want to provide help. I love how Weebly assembles in strong onboarding and instruction not just via email drip sequence but also via little info buttons built with their own platform.
One Advertised benefit of utilizing an all-inclusive site builder is you won't need to write HTML or CSS code. You can just drag and drop elements. Everything you see in the builder is exactly what you get on the website.
It is Not always that easy. There is a whole lot of nuances to"drag and drop." Most of us actually mean"I wish to click and drag this component and transfer it to a general place where it'll seem great — you know, mechanically focused, etc." In other words, it is like playing tee-ball rather than baseball…or bowling with up gutter guards. You wish to do the thing, but also have a bit of assistance.
With An all-inclusive system, client support is able to troubleshoot and fix any issue. This is a huge advantage of website builder platforms generally, but especially with Weebly because they have phone support.
If You conduct your site, you've got to figure out exactly who can correct a problem before getting in touch with them. With Weebly, you just get in touch with them.
The Big advantage of building your own website on your host is you don't need to depend on a platform's attribute set. If you proceed the stage route, it is essential to be sure that they have all the qualities you want and need.
If You go the all-inclusive site builder course, Weebly's attribute set should provide whatever you need for typical personal/business sites (though as we'll see in the Cons section, you do need to be especially aware of advanced options).
Why? Square is a payments processor. They're huge offline and wish to be larger in the on/offline arena. That's why they bought Weebly — and the future is really bright for Weebly's e commerce features.
If You're starting a site and plan on selling a couple of things here and there or if you have an offline presence (ie, pop-up shops) and you would like to market online, the Weebly provides a ready-made alternative with closely integrated ecommerce features which should just get better.
I've Been using site builders for 20 years since the Homestead.com times and have been paying attention to this sector for the previous 5 decades. 1 overarching trend is a company's structure drives product investment over the marketing group or the product group.
Even In a fast-growing marketplace, a organization's construction and end goals will dictate how it behaves and what investments it makes. As I outlined in my Wix vs. Weebly vs. Squarespacestructure can differ wildly among direct competitors.
Total Pricing is very competitive not only in contrast to other all-inclusive site buildersbut also with purchasing your own hosting. Their Starter plan starts approximately $8/mo when paid up front. And they do not possess the common caps of other site builders. The Guru program adds sound features and still stays under $12/mo.
And Again — you'll see that everything is accessible and infinite. There are no caps on webpages or storage space. And unlike competitions such as Wix, they remove all advertisements with the first paid tier.
Compared To constructing your own website on your server and especially with other website builders, Weebly's pricing is quite aggressive. Cost isn't everything, however I really like how they structure it.
There is No method to add custom content types (except inside a single page). If you are arranging a large site (like hundreds of pages), the content within Weebly would require a private system to keep it all sorted and easily accessible.
The Last big drawback of Weebly is that moving to a different platform is difficult. If you want to move somewhere else, such as your WordPress powered website, migrating your articles and redirecting your URLs will be a challenging procedure.
Weebly allows One to export your Page content via zip file but blog content will need to be manually copied and/or migrated via RSS.
Since Weebly allows for HTML editing, most advertising tools and attributes can be added to your website. However, as you still do not have 100% control on your site & server — it can be challenging or not impossible to include advanced marketing tools such as an EV SSL, custom email collection tools, custom analytics packages, habit social shares, specific Schemas and A/B testing software.
In The jargon — the main issue is not having"root" or"FTP" access to your own server files. This is not an unsolvable problem, however it's something to be careful of if you're planning a long-term job.
A bonus for Weebly is their eCommerce performance. You can sell products from the Weebly site without switching platforms or performing some distinctive developments. It fits in seamlessly and has solid performance.
It is Great for websites which are primarily lead-generation, informational, etc but also wish to sell a few products. Additionally, it is a good match for anyone testing out products prior to going to a long-term platform. It is not a long-term fit for websites which are eCommerce-first. For those, an online store you own with WordPress + WooCommerce or even a specialty eCommerce platform such as Shopify (inspection ) or Bigcommerce (review) are a much better fit.
If You are looking to construct a long-term articles or lead generation website, then I would consider WordPress.com (for content) or Wix (for overall drag & drop) instead of Weebly. Even if Weebly meets your needs today, they might not in the medium future.
When we first started testing Weebly many Years ago, it was just another website builder. That has completely changed. Weebly has now evolved into an outstanding website building tool that is far better than most competitors. It is simple, uncluttered and easy to use — that is precisely what individuals with limited technical abilities need when it comes to making their own online presence.
Of course, it is not 100% perfect. We'd like To observe somewhat more templates, as an example. Finding an email address attached to your domain name is also a little pricey, as they urge G Suite, that costs $5 a month, per user. (Although there are workarounds, as you can see in the FAQ under ).
But all in all, Weebly reaches the top of our list of site builders. Their ease of use combined with cool tools such as the iOS or Android program for editing your site on the move, or the amount of add-ons out there from the program center makes it robust, and fun to use.
