When you think of the Greek islands, there are a few images that probably come immediately to mind: the absurdly blue water of the Aegean Sea, the blindingly white houses stacked on top of one another like sugar cubes, the tumbling bougainvillea, and the best grilled fish you'll eat anywhere. And you're right. Because all of this is accurate. But beaches, seafood, and picturesque villages aside, the 200-plus islands that are the Cyclades are also a historical and cultural gold mine. Monasteries, Byzantine churches, and natural wonders abound, and the earth here is so rich with artifacts that archaeologists are still hard at work finding new treasures.
Of course, some of the islands—Santorini and Mykonos in particular—are highly developed and the Greek equivalent of the French Riviera: bursting with glamour, luxury, and crowds. Lesser-known islands, like Sifnos and Folegandros, on the other hand, often have only one or two hotels, a smattering of restaurants, and the laid-back, authentic vibe to match.
Some logistics: Mykonos and Santorini have airports that serve both mainland Greece and (in the high season) most major European airports. The other Cycladic islands do not but are easily reached by affordable, regular ferries from either of the two main islands. If you're interested in a deeper exploration of breathtaking beaches and hidden coves, rent a boat to hop from one island to another. It's also your best bet to discover a deserted beach. There's an unspoken rule in this archipelago: The smaller the island, the better idea it is to rent a cottage—or grand, fully serviced villa (One Fine Stay and White Key Villas are great resources for the latter).
While Mykonos and Santorini get all the glory in the Cyclades, our travels have shown us how special the less-populated and even lesser-known islands are. (Several goop staffers spent time scoping out the region this summer.) So by all means spend a day or two on Mykonos or Santorini—and we've included the best spots to hit when you do. But for an even more superlative experience, the kind that really is that white and that blue and that romantic, think about visiting an island with slightly less name recognition. Or better yet, one with none.
From the bread to the baklava, everything at this small bakery in the heart of town is handmade using high-quality local ingredients. It's a favorite among locals and tourists alike—people flock to Laskari's day and night for the amygdalota (a Greek delicacy similar to a macaroon) and the kalitsounia.

Q: How does traffic traversing a proxy appear to the outside? If I am setting up a proxy, does traffic that goes to it and out to the internet have the source IP address of the client or the IP address of the proxy?
I need to set up a network so that the proxy cannot be bypassed. I think it would be better if the traffic originated from the proxy so direct access by clients on the network can be denied.
If the proxy data keeps its source IP address, are there any ways to combat bypassing the proxy?

A: The proxy is an intermediary. Your gateway, and the hosts of external resources accessed by your clients, will observe IP traffic originating from the proxy, not the original client.
If use of the proxy is mandatory, you can and should configure a packet filter at the egress point to permit traffic from the proxy while denying any attempts at direct access by other clients. You may wish to place the proxy in its own network segment to avoid risk of bypassing the proxy using IP spoofing or data layer poisoning.
This arrangement does not preclude the proxy from including information to indicate the request was forwarded for another client. Your downstream clients are not automatically anonymous when they pass traffic via a proxy server. For example, web proxies may add the X-Forwarded-For header to any processed HTTP traffic, where the header contains the IP address(es) of the client machine(es) for which the traffic is forwarded. (These may be the addresses of the original requesting client, downstream proxies, or both.)

Q: Unable to Make a Proper Thymeleaf POST Request with a JavaScript Variable as an HTML input's value I am creating a Spring Boot web application with Thymeleaf as one of my project's technologies. I've created a form in my HTML page which includes a button to save a JavaScript variable. However, I cannot insert that JavaScript Variable into the value attribute of my input tag. I know that my Spring Boot controllers are working fine because every time I click the "Save Top Ten and Location" button, a successful POST request is made. The only problem I am dealing with is properly filling out the "loc_and_rests" datamember of my entry object.
Here is the form I've created (snippet of my HTML): As you can see, I have a checkbox input tag that calls the JavaScript function, changeVal(), when clicked which should change the value attribute of my button in the line to the value of the JavaScript variable, "loc_and_rests," immediately following the input tag.
<form name="save" action="#" th:action="@{/app/save-entry}" th:object="${entry}" method="POST">
        <input type="checkbox" onclick="changeVal()">
        <button type="submit" th:field="*{loc_and_rests}" name="submit">Save Top Ten and Location</button>
</form>

Here is my JavaScript function, changeVal(). The variable loc_and_rests is a global variable which I set in a different function.
function changeVal() {
    document.save.submit.value = loc_and_rests;
    console.log("saved");
}

Also, just to show my controllers are working, here is a screenshot of the result of my POST requests. I added question marks and 'x' to some of the entries to see if they would work if I explicitly set a value with the value attribute.
Thank you.

the word "prescribed" means prescribed by regulations made by the Minister under this Act.
2. —(1) For the purposes of this Act but no further or otherwise the Gaeltacht shall be deemed to comprise the several district electoral divisions mentioned in the Schedule to this Act.
(2) The Minister may by order, whenever he considers it expedient so to do on account of local variations in the numbers or distribution of Irish-speaking persons, amend the Schedule to this Act by adding thereto any district electoral division neither mentioned nor then included by amendment therein or deleting therefrom any district electoral division mentioned therein or previously added thereto, and whenever any such amendment of the said Schedule is so made this Act shall as respects grants under this Act sanctioned while such amendment is in operation and everything done in consequence of the making or sanctioning of any such grant be construed and have effect with and subject to such amendment.
(3) Every order made by the Minister under this section shall be laid before each House of the Oireachtas as soon as may be after it is made, and if a resolution is passed by either such House within the next subsequent twenty-one days on which that House has sat after such order is laid before it annulling such order, such order shall be annulled accordingly but without prejudice to the validity of anything previously done under such order.
3. —(1) Where, in the opinion of the Minister, a dwelling-house in the Gaeltacht is wholly unsuitable for the proper and healthy accommodation of the occupier thereof and his family, the Minister may, subject to the provisions of this Act and regulations made by the Minister thereunder, make to the occupier of such dwelling-house a grant (in this Act referred to as a building grant) towards the erection, on the site of such dwelling-house or on another site, of a new dwelling-house in substitution for such first-mentioned dwelling-house.
(2) Where, in the opinion of the Minister, a dwelling-house in the Gaeltacht is on account of its small size or its lack of sanitary accommodation, ventilation, light, or other amenity or for any other reason unsuitable in its existing condition for the proper and healthy accommodation of the occupier thereof and his family and the Minister is satisfied that the condition of the dwelling-house is such that the expense of improvement can be economically incurred, the Minister may, subject to the provisions of this Act and regulations made by the Minister thereunder, make to the occupier of such dwelling-house a grant (in this Act referred to as an improving grant) towards the improvement or extension of such dwelling-house.
4. —(1) Where a dwelling-house in the Gaeltacht either—
(a) is not provided with any accommodation ancillary thereto for domestic poultry, or
(b) is provided with accommodation ancillary thereto for domestic poultry, but such accommodation is, in the opinion of the Minister, wholly unsuitable or insufficient,
the Minister may, subject to the provisions of this Act and regulations made by the Minister thereunder, make to the occupier of such dwelling-house a grant (in this Act referred to as a poultry-house building grant) towards the erection of accommodation for domestic poultry, ancillary to such dwelling-house and, where any such accommodation already exists, in substitution therefor.
(2) Where the accommodation for domestic poultry ancillary to a dwelling-house in the Gaeltacht is, in the opinion of the Minister, unsuitable or insufficient, and the Minister is satisfied that the state of any structure providing such accommodation is such that the expense of improvement can be economically incurred, the Minister may, subject to the provisions of this Act and regulations made by the Minister thereunder, make to the occupier of such dwelling-house a grant (in this Act referred to as a poultry-house improving grant) towards the improvement or extension of such accommodation.
(3) Where a building grant has been sanctioned under this Act, the Minister may, subject to the provisions of this Act and regulations made by the Minister thereunder, make to the person to whom such building grant has been sanctioned either a grant (in this Act included in the expression poultry-house building grant) towards the erection of accommodation for domestic poultry or a grant (in this Act included in the expression poultry-house improving grant) towards the improvement or extension of accommodation for domestic poultry, ancillary to the dwelling-house towards the erection of which such building grant was sanctioned.
(a) is not provided with any accommodation ancillary thereto for pigs, or
(b) is provided with accommodation ancillary thereto for pigs but such accommodation is, in the opinion of the Minister, wholly unsuitable or insufficient,
the Minister may, subject to the provisions of this Act and regulations made by the Minister thereunder, make to the occupier of such dwelling-house a grant (in this Act referred to as a piggery building grant) towards the erection of accommodation for pigs, ancillary to such dwelling-house and, where any such accommodation already exists, in substitution therefor.
(2) Where the accommodation for pigs ancillary to a dwelling-house in the Gaeltacht is, in the opinion of the Minister, unsuitable or insufficient, and the Minister is satisfied that the state of any structure providing such accommodation is such that the expense of improvement can be economically incurred, the Minister may, subject to the provisions of this Act and regulations made by the Minister thereunder, make to the occupier of such dwelling-house a grant (in this Act referred to as a piggery improving grant) towards the improvement or extension of such accommodation.

(2) A charging order shall be deemed to be a mortgage made by deed within the meaning of the Conveyancing Acts, 1881 to 1911, and the Commissioners shall be the mortgagees for the purposes of those Acts and shall accordingly have, in relation to every charging order, all the powers conferred by those Acts on mortgagees under mortgages made by deed.

(2) In any proceedings by the Commissioners under this section or otherwise in any court of law to recover the amount or any part of the amount due, whether for principal or interest, on foot of a charging order, a certificate purporting to be sealed with the seal of the Commissioners and to certify the amount due on foot of such charging order shall, until the contrary is proved, be evidence that the amount so certified is so due and owing.
11. —(1) The aggregate amount of the grants and loans to be made under this Act shall not exceed the sum of two hundred and fifty thousand pounds.

(2) Whenever the execution of works towards which grants or loans under this Act have been or are intended to be sanctioned is in the opinion of the Minister prevented or hindered by undue difficulty in obtaining supplies of lime or sand or the use of scaffolding and other plant the Minister may, with the consent of the Minister for Finance, make such arrangements as he with the consent aforesaid shall think proper for providing or facilitating the obtaining (as the circumstances may require) at reasonable prices supplies of lime or of sand or the use of scaffolding or other plant
13. —(1) For the purposes of the assessment and levying of any rate raised by a local authority for the service of any local financial year ending within twenty years from the completion of any work towards the execution of which a grant was made under this Act, the valuation under the Valuation Acts of the dwelling-house towards the erection, improvement or extension of which such grant was made or to which is ancillary the poultry-house or piggery towards the erection, improvement, or extension of which such grant was made shall be deemed by such local authority to be the valuation which was in force in respect of such dwelling-house or of the dwelling-house for which such dwelling-house was substituted immediately before the commencement of such work.
(2) In this section the expression "local authority" means and includes the council of a county, the council of a county or other borough, the council of an urban district, and the commissioners of a town.

(g) any matter or thing referred to in this Act as prescribed or to be prescribed.
(2) In so far as the provisions of any local Act or of any bye-laws, rules, regulations, or scheme, under whatever authority made, relating to the construction, laying-out, or drainage of new buildings or new streets are inconsistent with a regulation made by the Minister under this Act, those provisions shall not apply to a house to which such regulation applies and which complies with such regulation.
(3) Every regulation made by the Minister under this Act shall be laid before each House of the Oireachtas as soon as may be after it is made, and if a resolution is passed by either such House within the next subsequent twenty-one days on which that House has sat after such regulation is laid before it annulling such regulation such regulation shall be annulled accordingly but without prejudice to the validity of anything previously done under such regulation.

Supersonic: The Design and Lifestyle Of Concorde
Grammy-nominated graphic designer Lawrence Azerrad takes you to the inner world of aviation history's most iconic bird in the book Supersonic: The Design and Lifestyle of Concorde. It's a visual storybook of the famed bird that scorched the skies above the Atlantic, carrying people of affluence and importance in what could be best described as the future of luxury flight.
A lot of folks were saddened when the Concorde supersonic passenger jet was finally retired in October 2003 after less than 3 decades of shuttling VIPs, celebrities, business tycoons and moguls, and other people of impeccable taste and standards. For most, an icon had died. Azzerad is opening the doors to reliving the glory of the Concorde in the Supersonic.
Opening the first few pages of the Supersonic is like being taken down memory lane where the supersonic jet's colorful history comes alive with the meaningful use of words that take readers right into the very heart of the aircraft's conception and development. And as the story unfurls, one gets a feeling of the many obstacles and challenges that aircraft designers and aeronautical engineers of Aerospatiale and the British Aircraft Corporation had to face to come up with cutting-edge solutions that will forever change the way we travel the skies.
Stunning images of the Concorde's interior will greet the eyes, an interior that only the world's privileged had ever seen. Now everyone can get to see what is inside the world's most famous bird ever to conquer the skies between mainland Europe and the continental United States. Not only does one get to marvel at the luxury of the interior design, but one also gets to embark on a journey of design innovation as Azzerad takes you to discover the various facets of the Concorde's evolutionary development.
Almost 200 pages of remarkable graphics and breathtaking storytelling, the Supersonic is the perfect gift for those who are fond of anything that flies but most especially to those who can only dream of flying on one of the world's most iconic planes. Commercial space travel may be here, but the Concorde remains a maverick.

Q: JPA Criteria API with several parameters I have this code in my system in order to get users logged in to the system. Its in sql format with using createNativeQuery in Hibernate. I want to get this done with criteriaBuilder since createCriteria is deprecated. How can i do this giving both username and password to match with the database values? Thanks in advance.
String sql = "Select id from login where username=:username and password=:password";
Query query = session.(sql);

query.setParameter("username", login.getUsername());
query.setParameter("password", login.getPassword());

String rs = query.getSingleResult().toString();
return rs;

I coded until this. But syntax is wrong when trying to give multiple conditions.
CriteriaBuilder builder = session.getCriteriaBuilder();
    CriteriaQuery<Login> criteria = builder.createQuery(Login.class);
    Root<Login> employeeRoot=criteria.from(Login.class);
    criteria.select(employeeRoot);

   criteria.where(builder.equal(employeeRoot.get(login.getUsername()), "username"));

A: Try:
criteria.where(builder.and(builder.equal(employeeRoot.get("username"), login.getUsername()),
                           builder.equal(employeeRoot.get("password"), login.getPassword())));

Rap at auction: Biggie's crown and Tupac Shakur letters
Filed on August 25, 2020
It's the first-ever dedicated hip-hop auction at a major international auction house.
Rivals in life, the rappers Notorious B.I.G. and Tupac Shakur are being united for an auction at Sotheby's, the first-ever dedicated hip-hop auction at a major international auction house.
Bidders will be able to vie for the crown worn and signed by the Notorious B.I.G. during a 1997 photo shoot held three days before he was killed in Los Angeles. They'll also get to bid on an archive of 22 autographed love letters written by Shakur at the age of 15-17 to a high school sweetheart.
The auction will be held September 15 and features over 120 hip-hop-related lots. The items can be viewed in person - reservations are required during the pandemic - at Sotheby's in New York City and the exhibition will also be available to the public online via its digital gallery.
"The impact of hip-hop is everywhere - sneakers, clothing, jewellery, art, music. I wanted to have a sale that really recognised how massive that impact really is," said Cassandra Hatton, the Sotheby's senior specialist who organised the sale.
The estimates for the headlining lots - $200,000 to $300,000 for the crown and $60,000 to $80,000 for the letters - are low, with the hope that the auction house can attract first-time bidders and show it is not just a stuffy place for multi-million-dollar watches and paintings.
Onetime friends who became rivals in a hype-fuelled war between the East and West Coast rap scenes, Shakur and the Notorious B.I.G. - also known as Biggie Smalls - were gunned down within months of each other. Both crimes remain unsolved.
The crown has been in photographer Barron Claiborne's possession since he captured Biggie for the cover of Rap Pages magazine. Claiborne had provided the prop, hoping to portray Biggie as the king of New York. Sean "Diddy" Combs, owner of Biggie's label Bad Boy Entertainment, was with the rapper on the photo shoot.
"I've seen the crown. Everybody's seen the crown. It's so famous. It's so iconic. When I was first thinking of doing this sale, I thought, 'Wouldn't it be great to track that crown down?'" Hatton said. "I've sold all sorts of wild things. But this is a little different."
Shakur's letters - many on lined stationary pages with neat hand-lettered script - were written in 1987 and 1988 to Kathy Loy, a fellow student at the Baltimore School for the Arts. The 42 pages chronicle their approximately two-month long romance, including a letter of regret for breaking up sent a year later. Loy provided the letters for auction.
"I'll always be there for you," Shakur wrote to her in one. In a poem, we writes: "Everything is so beautiful/since I fell in love." The trove also reveal his friendship with fellow student Jada Pinkett Smith, who he mentions in one letter: "Jada told me she can see how much I love you."
What interested Hatton most is the tone of the letters. Unlike Shakur's tough public persona, the letters reveal a "sweet, poetic, sensitive young man."
"There are definitely moments that made me blush reading the letters - he is a 16-year-old boy after all," she added. "But he is very respectful. He advocates for clear communication and boundaries and wants to define relationships."
The auction continues Sotheby's recent trend toward embracing items prized by popular culture, including hosting the first dedicated sneaker auction at one of the big auction houses in July 2019. A pair of Michael Jordan's signed, game-worn Nikes was recently auctioned by Christie's for a record $615,000.

Op-ed: Driving progress towards equal pay
By Mary-Margaret Koch | Friday, March 03, 2017
"The Eagle" recently published a column on Audi's Super Bowl commercial that drew attention to the company's commitment to equal pay. Although I applaud the author's choice to highlight the ad, I strongly disagree with the majority of the conclusions she made about the wage gap.
The wage gap is not a myth. Across the United States, women are paid less than their male counterparts, despite performing the same work, working in the same industries and having the same education levels. The wage gap calculates the degree to which this pay disparity is present amongst full-time workers by measuring the difference in wages between the salary of the average woman and the salary of the average man.
This gap limits the earnings of millions of women, and disproportionately affects the earnings of Black and Hispanic/Latino women. And, contrary to the author's assertions, the wage gap cannot be explained by women's choices.
The United States Census Bureau determined in 2015 that the average pay for a female worker working a full-time, year-round job was $40,742, while the pay for the average male worker in a full-time, year-round job was $51,212. This means that overall, women in the United States are paid 80 cents for every dollar that is paid to men.
The disparities in pay become more disparaging when broken down by race. In 2015, for every dollar earned by a white man, Asian American women earned an average of 85 cents, White women earned an average of 75 cents, Black women earned an average of 63 cents and Hispanic/Latino women earned an average of 54 cents.
The author of the column is correct when they state that the Equal Pay Act of 1963 banned pay discrimination on the basis of sex. However, while overt discrimination on the basis of sex is illegal, a wage gap continues to persist in the United States.
Women's choices cannot explain the wage gap. In 2015, United States Census Bureau found that across all industries, women are paid less than men. When this is broken down by profession, again the census bureau found that women's wages are less than those of men, even when they are working in the same profession. These data show that for every dollar made by a man, a woman working in sales and related occupations earns 43 cents, a woman working as a doctor makes 56 cents and a woman working as an engineer makes 87 cents.
Additionally, the wage gap persists regardless of education level. Using census data which measured the wage gap by education level, The National Partnership for Women and Families found that women with doctoral degrees are paid less than men with master's degrees, and women with master's degrees are paid less than men with bachelor's degrees.
So if the wage gap persists across industry and occupation and is not influenced by education level, what is behind it? In a study published in January 2016, researchers Francine D. Blau and Lawrence M. Kahn determined that 62 percent of the wage gap can be attributed to differences in education, experience, region, race, unionization, industry and occupation. This leaves 38 percent of the wage gap unaccounted for, causing researchers to conclude that discrimination cannot be discounted as a reason for the presence of the wage gap.
In order for women to receive equal pay for equal work, Congress must pass legislation to protect and promote women in the workforce. The Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act extended the time period for workers to file a claim for discriminatory pay with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). However, in many professions, workers are not protected from retaliation for discussing their salaries with their colleagues.
Therefore, Congress must pass the Paycheck Fairness Act, which would allow workers to discuss their pay without fear of retaliation by their employer. Additionally, the Paycheck Fairness Act would require employers to prove that when instances of pay disparity are found, that these disparities exist for legitimate, job-related reasons.
If addressing the wage gap is to be a national priority, the budget for the EEOC must increase, as this commission is responsible for collecting information on pay and promoting fair pay in the workplace. To address the pay disparities, faced by LGBTQ Americans, Congress must pass the Employment Non-Discrimination Act.
Additionally, passing family-friendly policies like the FAMILY Act, which provides paid family and medical leave, and the Healthy Families Act, which provides paid sick days, would allow more women to stay in the workforce, thus resulting in increased wages and a decreased pay gap over time.
At the conclusion of its Super Bowl ad, Audi encouraged viewers to Drive Progress. Now is the time for Congress to act to close the pay gap and ensure equal pay for equal work.

Q: Find the Least Common Multiple of three given numbers with modulus specifications I was given this following question:
There exists a positive integer such that when it is divided by 5 the remainder is 4, when it is divided by 6 the remainder is 5, and when it is divided by 7 the remainder is 6. Find such least positive number that satisfies that above conditions.
My way of solving it is to first find the Least Common Multiple (LCM) for these three numbers.
LCM(5,6,7) = LCM(5, LCM(6,7)) = 210

And then I noticed that since the modulus operation for y/x is at most from 0 to x-1, and for x=5, 6, and 7, the remainder is always x-1. Then we can simply subtract 1 from 210 to obtain the answer of 209.
To this end, I am wondering if there's a better approach to solving this problem. Especially, is there a formula/relationship that we can follow if the problem is not numerically explicit. For example:

Find the least positive integer such that when it is divided by x the remainder is a, when it is divided by y the remainder is b, and when it is divided by z the remainder is c.

I would also like to know that if there's always exist such a least positive integer for any given combination of (x,y,z) and (a,b,c).

Q: Crear Customs Fields en Cart Page Woocommerce estoy creando un plugin para insertar dos fields custom en el carrito de compras, es decir dos columnas con cada una un campo, uno para ingresar comentarios, y otro para un select, ambos sobre cada producto del carrito, querìa saber ya que estuve buscando bastante informaciòn y no pude lograrlo exitosamente si alguno ya tuvo que hacerlo, o sabe como hacerlo ! Muchas gracias por su aporte
Edito el post con parte del codigo que voy haciendo, el problema esta en que al actualizar la pagina los comentarios se borran, y cuando finalizo la compra no se guarda tampoco la información
Agrego a cada producto del carrito un campo para comentarios

On The wide range of website building solutions, Weebly lives on the finish that is all-inclusive and provides everything you need to begin and develop your site. It's in contrast to options where you buy, install, and manage all of the"bits" of your site separately.
Using Weebly is kind of like renting and customizing an apartment in a nice development rather than getting and owning your own residence. You are still in control of decor, cleaning, and what living-wise — but you leave the construction, plumbing, safety, and infrastructure to the property owner. That point is critical since there's typically a direct tradeoff between convenience and control.
Site Builders as a group compete with choices like WordPress.org (which offers the free software to build a site that you have & control — visit my WordPress setup guide here) all the way to choices like typing real HTML code into a text file. Make sense? Awesome, let's dive into the Weebly review.
You'll find that components snap into position And organize themselves perfectly on the page. Other options, such as Wix, forego the grid system, so it is quite possible to end up with overlapping elements. Together with Weebly, no risk of that occurring.
Working with text is also a breeze in Weebly. You simply click what you would like to edit and type your words in the box. Some other options use"entry masks" that are somewhat more subjective and not necessarily easy to work with.
So are there Any drawbacks? This is different. If you would like more freedom with your designs, then you may feel frustrated by the rigid grid system. You ought to go to get Wix. This competitor also has an automatic solution (Wix ADI) that can build the website for you pretty much by itself. You may possibly shave a couple of minutes of your site building time.
Additionally, there are two things we'd like to see. First is a global undo button. You can undo everything you type in text boxes, but it will be wonderful to erase mistakes once you add or move components. Second, Weebly does not have a general media database which keeps all your pictures. You'll have to re-upload images for each and every element that requires them.
If any of those Above are must-haves for your site, you'll have to upgrade to Weebly Pro. And for a more comprehensive breakdown, please refer to our full Weebly pricing comparison page.
Let us get one thing out of the way . if You're an innovative SEO expert who absolutely must rank #1 on search engines for a very competitive keyword, you may have a tough time using Weebly. It's not impossible, but there are limits.
· Your headings are limited to H2. There is a free program which lets you add 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 (groups and product pages) include a compulsory string for 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 blog posts, they will have'/blog/' in the URL structure and this can not be changed.
Just as we Understand, very safe. The business takes safety very seriously. They market strong passwords, and offer SSL encryption on all plans. The free tier will operate on https that delivers an excess layer of security. Especially important for onsite personal data exchange (e.g. charge card or email address).
Unfortunately, we wish Weebly provided more in the way of backup and restore systems. You have to look after it manually by saving your website as a .zip file regularly. And there is no restore function if disaster strikes. Wix, for instance, monitors new adjustments and allows you to jump back in time to a previous version of your website.
The First thing to notice is that Weebly doesn't have a whole lot of template designs (approximately 50), but you should easily be able to find one that you like. There are different categories out there. Online Store, Business, Portfolio, Personal, Event and Blog.
They automatically look great on every Apparatus (by being responsive), and they can be adapted to match your personal needs, together with the templates as a base. No need for you to receive a web design diploma!
We'd say yes, with a caveat. It is great to Sell digital and physical products for small and medium-sized shops, but not for huge ones. Although you can use the import and export function to handle many items, you might discover Weebly lacking in features such as enormous stores.
Finally, it's worth noting that even though You can create a store with the Starter and Pro program, updating to Business and higher makes more sense. You'll get the automated shipping and sales tax calculator, which is very helpful for serious shop owners. Furthermore, you won't need to cover an additional transaction fee of 3%.
You bet! There are no less than 300 programs in Quite a few classes like eCommerce, Communication, Marketing, Social, or Site Tools. Some are free, some are paid. Some are constructed by Weebly, some by third party programmers. For the latter, there is always an (unlikely) possibility that it may shut down a single day. Also a shame the programs made by Weebly are rather restricted.
However, one thing all the programs have in Common is a super simple installation attribute. Click and bam! All programs are tested and will work instantly on your website. We tried some cool ones like a way to add tables, event calendars, and info bars to display specific information. Our only qualm is that the quality and quantity of apps is a slightly inferior those in the Wix App Store.
Weebly provides Hosting for all the websites that are constructed on their own platform. That can be good or bad, however in Weebly's case, it's an expert. They have fast load rates. Their sites are optimized to their own hosting. They treat security against hackers and spam. With company plans, they install and maintain SSL across your entire site. Here is my speed test.
There Are still speed and security risks, but overall, it's an advantage for many website owners to have someone else care for speed, security, backups, etc.. The price tag is bundled with expert and free accounts, so it's a solid value-add.
Whenever You start some piece of software — no matter how intuitive — there's that moment where you think"okay, what do I do today?" That process is called onboarding, and it is also incredibly hard to implement well.
The Software manufacturer doesn't want to be annoying, but they also wish to provide help. I really like how Weebly builds in solid onboarding and instruction not just via email trickle arrangement but also via small info buttons built with their platform.
One Promoted benefit of using an all-inclusive website builder is that you won't have to write HTML or CSS code. You only have to drag and drop elements. What you find in the builder is exactly what you receive on the website.
It's Not always that easy. There's a lot of nuances to"drop and drag." Most of us actually mean"I want to drag and click this component and move it into a general place where it'll seem great — you know, mechanically centered, etc." Put simply, it's like playing tee-ball instead of baseball…or bowling with gutter guards up. You want to do the thing, but also have a bit of help.
For The most part, Weebly pulls this off. Their drag and drop actually functions. And, for the control freaks among us, they provide access to some custom CSS module, so that you may edit the template to precisely your choosing.
The Significant advantage of creating your own site on your own host is that you don't have to count on a platform's attribute set. If you proceed the stage route, it's essential to make certain they have all the features you desire and need.
Even Beyond the advanced necessities, Weebly also includes features like forums, membership options, integrated marketing options, file uploads, etc.. In addition they have eCommerce options, which I will cover separately below.
If You go the comprehensive site builder course, Weebly's attribute set must offer whatever you will need for typical personal/business sites (though as we will see in the Cons section, you really do need to be especially aware of innovative options).
If You're starting a website and plan on selling a few things here and there or in case you have an offline presence (ie, pop-up stores ) and you would like to market on the internet, the Weebly provides a ready-made solution with closely integrated ecommerce characteristics that should only get better.
I have Been using website builders for 20 years because the Homestead.com days and have been paying attention to the sector for the past 5 decades. One overarching trend is that a company's structure pushes product investment more than the marketing group or the product team.
Even In a fast-growing market, a organization's structure and finish goals will dictate how it acts and what investments it makes. As I summarized in my Wix vs. Weebly vs. Squarespacestructure can vary wildly among direct competitors.
Overall Pricing is quite competitive not only in contrast to other all-inclusive site buildersbut also with buying your hosting. Their Starter plan begins around $8/mo when paid up front. Plus they don't possess the common caps of other website builders. The Guru plan adds sound features and stays under $12/mo.
And Again — you will notice that everything is bundled and unlimited. There are no limits on pages or storage area. And unlike competitors like Wix, they eliminate all ads with the initial paid grade.
Compared To constructing your own site on your host and especially with other website builders, Weebly's pricing is quite aggressive. Price is not everything, however I love how they structure it.
Weebly Sort of features that. It's a Pages section that lists out all of the pages on your site. It allows you to drag and drop the hierarchy and then click to edit each. Nevertheless, it's far from a efficient system.
There is No method to add custom content forms (except within an individual page). If you are planning a large site (like hundreds of pages), the content within Weebly would need a private system to keep it sorted and easily accessible.
The Last huge drawback of Weebly is that moving to a new platform is difficult. If you want to move someplace else, including your own WordPress powered site, Assessing your articles and redirecting your URLs will be a challenging procedure.
Since Weebly allows for HTML editing, many marketing tools and features can be added to your site. However, since you still don't have 100% control over your website & host — it can be difficult and/or impossible to add advanced marketing tools such as an EV SSL, customized email collection tools, custom analytics packages, habit social shares, special Schemas and A/B testing computer software.
A bonus for Weebly is that their eCommerce functionality. It's possible to sell products from your Weebly site without switching platforms or performing any distinctive developments. It fits in effortlessly and contains strong functionality.
It's Ideal for websites that are primarily lead-generation, informational, etc also wish to sell a few products. Additionally, it is a good fit for anyone testing out products before going into a long-term stage. It is not a long-term fit for sites which are eCommerce-first. For those, an internet store you have with WordPress + WooCommerce or a specialization eCommerce platform like Shopify (inspection ) or even Bigcommerce (review) are a much better fit.
If You are wanting to construct a long-term content or direct generation website, then I would consider WordPress.com (for articles ) or Wix (for overall drag & drop) instead of Weebly. Even if Weebly meets your needs now, they may not in the future.
When we first started testing Weebly many Years past, it was only another website builder. That has completely changed. Weebly has now evolved into an outstanding website building tool which is better than many competitors. It's easy, uncluttered and simple to use — which is exactly what people with limited technical abilities need when it comes to making their own online presence.
Of course, it's not 100% perfect. We'd like To observe a bit more templates, for instance. Finding an email address attached to your own domain name is also a bit pricey, as they urge G Suite, which costs $5 per month, per user. (Although there are workarounds, since you can see in the FAQ below).
But all in all, Weebly reaches the very top of the list of website builders. Their ease of use together with cool tools such as the iOS or Android app for editing your website on the move, or the number of add-ons available in the program center makes it powerful, and enjoyable to use.


We have now launched our own Trevena Cross Loyalty Card, to give our regular customers something back for their continued support of the garden centre.
A simple stamp system, the card requires you to collect six stamps (£15+ transaction = 1 stamp) after which you'll receive a £10 Trevena Cross loyalty voucher to spend at the centre, on plants, sundries or gifts – your choice!
This scheme operates separately from the Garden Kitchen Cafe, who handle their own loyalty schemes (e.g. coffee cards etc) and so cards cannot be stamped for transactions completed in the cafe, and the £10 Trevena Cross loyalty vouchers can not be redeemed in the cafe either.
If you'd be interested in having one, please ask a member of the team behind the counter about the card on your next visit!
Only those individuals with exceptional eyesight will be able to read the terms & conditions on the back of the loyalty card (!) so we have included them below for your convenience.
This card will be stamped following an individual transaction of £15 or more, after any discounts have been applied.
One stamp per visit, regardless of spend in excess of £15. Shopping cannot be split into multiples of £15 to acquire extra stamps on a single shopping trip.
After the sixth £15+ spend, a free £10 Trevena Cross gift voucher will be issued to the customer, and the stamped loyalty card will be retained by Trevena Cross.
The loyalty card is valid for spend in the garden centre only. The on-site Garden Kitchen Café is excluded.
The free £10 Trevena Cross gift voucher reward issued after six £15+ transactions is valid for spend in the garden centre only. The on-site Garden Kitchen Café is excluded.
Loyalty cards can only be presented for stamping during in-store transactions. They cannot be 'virtually stamped' for orders placed online, over the phone or via email. They also cannot be stamped upon delivery of plants/goods to a chosen delivery address.
Trevena Cross staff have the right to refuse to stamp a loyalty card if it is defaced or appears to have been tampered with or doctored in any way that is not in keeping with the rules of the loyalty scheme.
Don't hesitate to get in touch if you have any more questions, and we look forward to welcoming you to the Trevena Cross Loyalty Scheme really soon!

Neuronal hypothalamic regulation of body metabolism and bone density is galanin dependent
Anna Idelevich, … , Francesca Gori, Roland Baron
Citation Information: J Clin Invest. 2018;128(6):2626-2641. https://doi.org/10.1172/JCI99350.
Research Article Bone Biology Metabolism
In the brain, the ventral hypothalamus (VHT) regulates energy and bone metabolism. Whether this regulation uses the same or different neuronal circuits is unknown. Alteration of AP1 signaling in the VHT increases energy expenditure, glucose utilization, and bone density, yet the specific neurons responsible for each or all of these phenotypes are not identified. Using neuron-specific, genetically targeted AP1 alterations as a tool in adult mice, we found that agouti-related peptide–expressing (AgRP-expressing) or proopiomelanocortin-expressing (POMC-expressing) neurons, predominantly present in the arcuate nucleus (ARC) within the VHT, stimulate whole-body energy expenditure, glucose utilization, and bone formation and density, although their effects on bone resorption differed. In contrast, AP1 alterations in steroidogenic factor 1–expressing (SF1-expressing) neurons, present in the ventromedial hypothalamus (VMH), increase energy but decrease bone density, suggesting that these effects are independent. Altered AP1 signaling also increased the level of the neuromediator galanin in the hypothalamus. Global galanin deletion (VHT galanin silencing using shRNA) or pharmacological galanin receptor blockade counteracted the observed effects on energy and bone. Thus, AP1 antagonism reveals that AgRP- and POMC-expressing neurons can stimulate body metabolism and increase bone density, with galanin acting as a central downstream effector. The results obtained with SF1-expressing neurons, however, indicate that bone homeostasis is not always dictated by the global energy status, and vice versa.

Emotionally, physically, or nutritionally deprived.
Without proper shelter, clothing or physical comfort.
Without clean drinking water or ever go hungry.
Without the opportunity for education and the ability to succeed in life.
At Kids Better World, we feel it is a great injustice that so many of our children struggle to survive; without even the basics which most of us take for granted.

Since I was little my family has always made doctors appointments fun! When my parents knew that doctors appointments would be part of our new normal, they wanted to make the best of a difficult situation. When I found out I had to have surgery on my hips (and this happens for all of my other surgeries, too) I put a smile on my face and made the best of it by: 1) going outside often 2) going into stores for a little window shopping and 3) doing things that I know I won't be able to do much of post-operatively. For instance, before hip surgery I wanted to sit on the floor as much as I could before I had surgery since I knew that would be a no-no afterwards.
We make a little vacation out of surgery or procedure trips to attach happiness to the scary. In August 2017, when we went to Boston for my hip surgery, we made a list of fun vacation-like things to do. We went to the science museum and the aquarium! We also went for lots of walks onto Harvard street, we went out to have dinner almost every night (with as many cheese fries as I could handle) and took shopping trips (very important). I like to make being different fun, too!
Please remember that the message of this series is celebrate my differences and also to help others to learn to celebrate their differences, too.

I have a mohawk. Now, on to what I really want to talk about today.
I work out of a studio called CoWork Greenville; it's a pretty awesome place. Every month we do something called Zero Day, a hiking metaphor. We all take the first Friday morning of the month, stop working, and meet up to talk about stuff that matters to us.
This past Friday I presented an idea about a potentially disruptive model for my industry. I do a lot of work with SuperFriendly (run by Dan Mall) and I've been thinking about how to organize a group of awesome web people that lets everyone remain independent, make lots of money, and work on projects they love. Most of my inspiration comes from where I started as a Freelance Project Manager (let's call this FPM) just over a year ago.
Looking back, there are 4 common tracks that a FPM takes: they fail, get hired, take on tons of small clients to survive, or take on a few big clients. I'll also admit that there are other possible directions to take, I just haven't seen much else. See my little diagram below.
I'm on the few bigger clients path as a FPM. This gave me most of my inspiration for a new model idea. It's very close to the structure of a legal practice (thanks David Haskins), but it's also similar to a conglomerate, just made up of individuals.
The idea is to take independent web professionals and put them under one brand to provide consistency, a cohesive presence, and a store-front for work and contracts. This also gives an entity to hold contracts with contractors for outsourced work. It's much more than this, but you get the gist of it. Check out my second diagram to illustrate.
I haven't gotten super far in my thinking about this model. I'm really looking for feedback from anyone willing to share. Below are my slides that I used to present at Zero Day.
I'm not a huge fan of posting unfinished ideas, but I think it's warranted this time. I know it feels awkward for some people to post in comments on blogs, but feel free. I'd love thoughts from anyone interested.
Like I said early on, my goal in writing is to post things that I'm going through in the hopes of spurring others to think outside the box while also refining my own ideas.
