Mediocrity Be Gone
The Relay Graduate School of Education is revolutionizing teacher training
Kari Barbic
Philanthropy Magazine Fall 2013
"Is this some kind of This Is Your Life thing?" chuckles Larry Robbins. "My involvement with the Relay Graduate School of Education goes back to the early 1990s, when I was in college at the University of Pennsylvania. I was friends with Mike Feinberg." It would prove to be a fortuitous alliance.
Feinberg majored in international relations, while Robbins finished Penn's prestigious five-year dual-degree program in economics and engineering. Neither, however, was the traditional Ivy Leaguer. In high school, Robbins spent his summers pouring concrete foundations in the Chicago suburbs for a construction crew. Feinberg was a popular college bartender, who sometimes jokes that he went into teaching because the LSAT law aptitude test was given during Mardi Gras. More importantly, both men were naturally impatient, eager to strike out on their own.
After graduation, they went separate ways. In 1991, Feinberg became one of the first corps members of Teach for America. He was sent to Houston and worked closely with fellow TFA corps member David Levin. In 1994, Feinberg and Levin started KIPP, the Knowledge Is Power Program, at a public middle school in inner-city Houston. Feinberg and Levin had big plans. They wanted to take the KIPP model and use it to create a network of high-performing charter schools. Feinberg stayed in Houston. Levin moved to the South Bronx.
Robbins, meanwhile, went to work on Wall Street in 1992. Three years later, he was hired by Leon Cooperman's Omega Advisors as an analyst and, eventually, partner. "In 1996, I earned my first real paycheck," says Robbins. "I sent $25,000 to Mike for KIPP Houston. Every student in the entire school sent me a perfectly written thank-you letter—each of them with the kid's name, when they were going to college, and what their favorite subjects were. Right then, I became a loyal KIPP supporter. I had a feeling that KIPP was going to do big things, and I knew that it was going to be driven by Mike and Dave."
Crafting the prototype
"Dave Levin," says Norman Atkins, "is Teacher Zero in the movement to create high-performing schools that serve low-income students." It's high praise coming from Atkins, who ranks among the nation's most accomplished education reformers. In 1997, Atkins co-founded Uncommon Schools, a charter-school network ranked as one of the highest performing in the nation, with 32 branches operating in New York, New Jersey, and Massachusetts.
In late 2005, Dave Levin and Norm Atkins met at Olive's Restaurant on Union Square. They talked shop over dinner and drinks. The conversation kept circling back to a shared complaint: Neither KIPP nor Uncommon Schools could ever seem to find enough great teachers to staff their schools. It was a major obstacle to growth. These programs relied on smart, persistent instructors willing to put in long hours to reach some of America's most at-risk young people.
The conversation went round after round, as it often had, with Levin and Atkins trying to square the circle. Gradually they realized there simply weren't enough top-level educators to meet their demands. All of the high-performing charter networks needed great teachers, but it seemed like the only way to get them was by cannibalizing each other's programs.
It looked like an intractable problem—one that called for some fresh thinking. What if, they wondered, we started making the kinds of teachers we need? What if we stopped relying on existing pipelines and started drilling for talent ourselves? It was a daunting task. They had their hands full running fast-growing school chains. Developing a teacher-training program to suit the needs of their students was an additional burden.
One thing was immediately clear. If they were going to do this, they wanted a dramatically different kind of training than the programs offered at traditional teacher colleges. The curriculum at almost all education schools was far too theoretical, especially for instructors facing a room filled with disadvantaged kids. The intellectual fulfillment to be found in the works of Jean Piaget, John Dewey, and Erik Erikson wouldn't be much help for a new teacher struggling to teach math to a roomful of rowdy seventh graders. "I can study Vygotsky later," Tayo Adeeko, a 24-year-old third-grade charter school teacher, told the New York Times, "but right now, my kids need to learn how to read." (Lev Vygotsky was a Soviet theorist of cognitive development. He died in 1934.)
Atkins and Levin reached out to Dacia Toll, a former Rhodes Scholar who founded Achievement First, another New York-based high-performing charter network. Together, Atkins, Levin, and Toll decided to develop their own teacher-training program—a program that would focus on practical strategies that could be used in the classroom immediately. They started with a blank sheet of paper. "What qualities do we need in a teacher?" they wondered. Once they had sketched them out, they started reverse-engineering a curriculum that would produce those qualities.
During the next few weeks, the three educators refined their idea for a new teacher-training institute. The project was starting to look more and more like a business plan—and what the idea needed next was investors.

Finding the investors
In late 2000, Robbins left Omega Advisors and founded his own hedge fund, Glenview Capital Management. Robbins named the business for the suburban hockey league he joined as a kindergartner. It was in the hockey rink, he has since explained, that he learned the virtues of consistency and teamwork. "I grew up in the Midwest as a student and a hockey player," he says. "Playing hockey, you quickly learn that it is a team sport where everybody is good and that you need to work hard, and you need to work hard throughout the whole game."
That ethos of steady consistency has brought Glenview some very impressive returns. Robbins keeps a low profile, personally and professionally. He is reluctant to talk much about his hedge fund's strategy or performance, noting only that it manages roughly $5 billion. Still, aspects of his investment philosophy can be deduced from public sources. New York magazine once placed Glenview among the industry's leading "singles hitters"—not power sluggers, but contact hitters who rack up winning seasons like Joe Torre's Yankees. The New York Post recently reported that Glenview has seen an average annual return since inception of about 13.2 percent. (Throughout the same period, the S&P has posted a 1 percent average annual return.) "Any hedge fund that's been around for 12 years is obviously one that has had some success," he avers. "That success is what allows us to be responsible philanthropists."
In 2000—four years after cutting his first check to the organization—Robbins joined the board of KIPP New York, and has since served as its chairman. As a major supporter of one of New York City's leading charter networks, he soon was familiar with the difficulties of finding and training great teachers. "One can't be involved with the administration of charter schools without realizing that what makes the great ones special isn't bricks and mortar," explains Robbins. "It's the human capital. We needed more teachers and better teachers." The proposal developed by Atkins, Levin, and Toll struck Robbins as a sound philanthropic investment. He quietly pledged $10 million.
At the same time, another major player in New York philanthropy had taken notice of the proposed new teacher-training program. Hedge fund manager Paul Tudor Jones established the Robin Hood Foundation in 1988 with a simple mandate: Reduce poverty in New York City. Central to that mission has been a commitment to fund innovative educational reform efforts. Impressed by Robbins's $10 million commitment, Robin Hood took a major step in helping move the teacher-training program forward, agreeing to feature the program at its fundraising benefit every year in Manhattan.
Robin Hood's annual fundraiser is a major event in the Manhattan social scene, with many of the city's most generous donors attending and many of its most promising nonprofits showcased. When Robin Hood first highlighted the new teacher-training program in 2007, the benefit shattered records, raising $72 million in one night. Amazingly, within the first three minutes of fundraising, the master of ceremonies secured 23 separate commitments of $1 million apiece.
Donors were clearly enthusiastic about the experiment in improving K-12 human capital: About $20 million of the funds raised by Robin Hood that night were directed toward the program being developed by Atkins, Levin, and Toll. David Saltzman, executive director of Robin Hood, thought it was a relatively easy sell: "This is one of the most exciting projects we've ever been involved in."
Disrupting the market
What made the teacher-training institute such an easy sell was its intense focus on practicality. Atkins, Levin, and Toll began by figuring out what a new teacher needed to know how to do, and then devised a two-year master's program (required for New York public school teachers) that would drill those skills into their graduates. Underlying the whole enterprise was the conviction that great teaching isn't an innate, mysterious talent. It is rather a craft that can be studied, broken down, and taught.
What is now known as the Relay Graduate School of Education opened its doors in 2008. Initially known as Teacher U, the program was housed at Hunter College, where the dean of the education school, David Steiner, was an enthusiastic patron of the experiment. Its founders, explains Atkins, saw three distinctive competencies in the new model. First, it would be relentlessly pragmatic. Second, video and online instruction would be deeply integrated into the curriculum. And third, in order to graduate, students would have to deliver measurable results in the classroom. To get a master's degree in education from Relay, you must demonstrate that your students have made a minimum of one year's worth of academic growth in one year's time.
First and foremost, Teacher U was intended to offer practical instruction. "We are teaching how to teach," explains Atkins. "We teach very specific techniques and strategies that help teachers to be effective in leading their classrooms on Monday morning." How does a master teacher keep a roomful of fifth graders engaged with a math lesson after 30 minutes? What do you do when you ask an easy question and only two eighth graders raise their hands? How do you handle the social needs of second graders who are already deeply familiar with violence, addiction, and poverty? Any material that can't immediately be put into practice in K-12 classrooms is shelved.
Relay makes creative use of technology to expand access to the most useful pedagogical strategies. "If I could wave a magic wand, I'd love to bring the best teachers in the country to our school so we could watch them work," says Atkins. "Well, that's not going to happen. So we do the next best thing." Relay is assembling a library of video case studies, real-life episodes that can be watched, paused, repeated, and discussed. Relay students observe great teaching in action. They discuss what works, and what doesn't, in a given situation. "Often, the video will run right up to a critical moment," says Atkins. "Then we pause it and ask the class: 'So, what would you do next?'"
Video confers additional benefits. For one thing, the case studies can be viewed after work or on weekends. They can be transmitted online relatively easily, where about 40 percent of Relay classes take place. Relay also extensively tapes its master's students to help them see their strengths and weaknesses in action. This watch-and-analyze method is results-focused, allowing graduate students to monitor their own progress, with support and feedback from experienced faculty. (Another unexpected benefit: The K-12 students behave better when they know they are being taped.) This regular feedback provides new teachers with the mentorship they need to help ensure their success—and the success of their students.
Which gets to the program's third distinctive feature: In order to earn a master's degree from Relay, candidates must demonstrate that their students have achieved a minimum of a full year's academic growth during their teaching year. Research on American education schools largely finds no statistically significant correlation between earning a master's in education and improving student performance. Relay, by contrast, ties half of its total graduation credits to measurable student outcomes. If a master's candidate cannot empirically prove the value he adds to the classroom, he won't get a degree.
Expansion mode
"We wanted a name that would convey the team spirit of the work," is how Atkins explains the college moniker. "It's not about any one individual teacher—but a relay of teachers." He points to research which finds that if a student has three great teachers in a row, there is a significant effect on his academic success; conversely, three ineffective teachers in direct succession can place an average student well behind, greatly diminishing the odds he will ever catch up. "We want to create a relay of great teachers for more children."
In 2011, Relay became the first new independent graduate school of education in more than 80 years to receive credentials from the State of New York. It's too early to know Relay's full potential, but Robbins and Atkins are encouraged about the program's opportunities for expansion. Relay partners with the New York City Department of Education to train district public school teachers and recently launched two pilots to train public school principals. Relay already is working with master's candidates at campuses in Newark and New Orleans, and aiming to grow further. "We hope that in a decade we are able to serve thousands of teachers in cities across the country," says Atkins.
Funder Robbins agrees that the goal is attainable. He has always seen Relay as a safe bet. On the tenth anniversary of his fund he reflected that "My father worked at a horse racetrack and taught me how to handicap horses when I was young. I have met several skilled handicappers over time, but none of them has made the Forbes 400 list, and for good reason." Investing, he pointed out, is different from gambling. Investors draw on a much larger pool of data, enjoy much lower transaction costs, and benefit from much greater predictability. All of which tends to make investing "much more useful and productive."
Robbins sees his charitable giving in that same light. In philanthropy as in investing, he looks to minimize risk and maximize return. "What I've been privileged to do is actually the lowest-risk philanthropy out there," he explains. "While it's true that I agreed to be an early funder of Relay, the overall concept was as risk-free and foolproof a business plan as one can design. This is not a drug discovery, it's not medical research, both of which have phenomenal benefits but also carry huge risks of failure. In our judgment, the odds of success were exceedingly high, and it was incumbent upon us to find a way to ensure its success. Relay was the rare philanthropic investment that offered a proven track record of effectiveness and achievement and the opportunity to back incredible social entrepreneurs, to address educational quality—the largest issue facing our country—and to have an impact on a national scale. It has been, and continues to be, a wonderful investment."

Following is a summary of current sports news briefs.
Soccer-Guardiola urges Man City to build on winning form
Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola praised his squad's commitment after they bounced back from a shaky start to their Premier League season with three successive wins. Titleholders City suffered an opening day defeat at Tottenham Hotspur but responded with wins over Norwich City, Arsenal, and Leicester City to move up to fourth, a point off leaders Manchester United.
Golf-American Horschel wins PGA title, Wiesberger earns Ryder Cup debut
American Billy Horschel birdied the 18th hole to claim the BMW PGA Championship title in a tense finish on Sunday in a tournament with huge implications for Europe's Ryder Cup team. Horschel was tied for first in a group on -18 as he stood over his third shot at the par-five 18th at Wentworth but produced a sensational wedge for a nailed-on birdie to complete a sizzling round of seven-under 65.
Tennis-Veterans Stosur, Zhang win doubles title at U.S. Open
Experience triumphed over youth as Australian Sam Stosur and Zhang Shuai of China beat Americans Coco Gauff and Caty McNally 6-3 3-6 6-3 in a tightly fought U.S. Open women's doubles final on Sunday. The duo, who also won together at the Australian Open in 2019, produced a near-flawless first set with just two unforced errors, compared to 10 from Gauff and McNally, who were competing in their first-ever Grand Slam final.
Tennis-Raducanu, Fernandez mark depth of women's game, signal enticing future
With Serena Williams pulling out due to fitness issues even before a ball had been hit and Naomi Osaka and Ash Barty dispatched in the third round, a loss of interest in the women's singles draw at this year's U.S. Open was palpable. But no one could have predicted that it would be left to two teenagers — ranked 150th and 73rd in the world — to create the kind of frenzied hype in women's tennis as seen over the past fortnight with their fascinating journeys to Saturday's final.
Tennis-Medvedev wins U.S. Open to end Djokovic calendar Grand Slam bid
Novak Djokovic's quest for a record 21st major title that would have completed the calendar-year Grand Slam collapsed at the final hurdle in a stunning 6-4 6-4 6-4 defeat by Russian Daniil Medvedev in the U.S. Open final on Sunday. Medvedev, playing in his third major final, at last, hoisted a Grand Slam trophy while avenging a straight-sets defeat by Djokovic earlier this year in the Australian Open final.
MLB roundup: Max Scherzer gets 3,000th strikeout in Dodgers win
Max Scherzer allowed one hit over eight innings to lead the Los Angeles Dodgers to an 8-0 win against the visiting San Diego Padres on Sunday afternoon, completing the three-game sweep. Scherzer took a perfect game into the eighth inning before Eric Hosmer pulled a double just out of the reach of right fielder Mookie Betts with one out. It was the only baserunner Scherzer allowed.
Tennis-Medvedev delivers on biggest stage to win US Open
Competing for just a stone's throw from the bright lights of Broadway, Daniil Medvedev delivered the performance of a lifetime to win the U.S. Open on Sunday and deny Novak Djokovic a rare calendar-year Grand Slam. The Russian won the year's final major 6-4 6-4 6-4, though the straight-sets victory was anything but routine as Medvedev had to grit his teeth and battle through cramps to close out the match, keeping the pain hidden to avoid giving Djokovic the scent of blood.
NFL roundup: Patrick Mahomes, Chiefs rally to edge Browns
Patrick Mahomes passed for 337 yards and three touchdowns, all in the second half, as the host Kansas City Chiefs didn't lead until the fourth quarter but edged the Cleveland Browns 33-29 on the first Sunday of the NFL season. Cleveland punter Jamie Gillan failed to handle a snap with 8:42 left in the fourth quarter, and the Chiefs tackled him for a fourth-down loss at the Browns' 15. Mahomes connected with Travis Kelce three plays later for an 8-yard touchdown and the winning score with 7:04 remaining.
Motor racing-Verstappen penalized for the crash, Hamilton saved by a halo
Lewis Hamilton said he felt fortunate to be alive after a collision with Formula One title rival Max Verstappen at the Italian Grand Prix on Sunday.

This all sounds fairly good on paper, right? Well let's figure out how it looks in practice. Within this review, we will have a look at their drag and drop editor and see if it's any good for creating a website, blog or online store.
On The wide range of site building solutions, Weebly resides at the finish that is all-inclusive and provides everything you want to begin and grow your site. It is in contrast to solutions where you purchase, set up, and handle all the"pieces" of your website individually.
Using Weebly is sort of like leasing and customizing a apartment in a wonderful development rather than getting and owning your own residence. You are still in charge of decor, cleaning, and what living-wise — but you leave the construction, plumbing, security, and infrastructure to the property owner. That point is key since there's usually a direct tradeoff between convenience and control.
All The design and functionality that are included with Weebly work seamlessly together as a platform. That's what allows them to have drag and drop design, layout, and articles.
As Much as rivalry, Weebly competes directly with comprehensive website builders such as Squarespace, Wix, and WordPress.com.
Website Builders as a team compete with choices like WordPress.org (which provides the free software to build a site which 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 us dive into the Weebly review.
One Other fast aside — a disclosure — I receive referral fees from all the companies mentioned in this post. My remarks & research are based on my experiences like a paying customer or consultant to a paying customer.
Good question. First thing you'll notice Is how well the drag and drop interface was created. Just choose the element you want on the left, and place it on your design on the rightside.
You might Discover That components snap into position And arrange themselves flawlessly on the webpage. Other options, such as Wix, forego the grid , so it's quite possible to end up with overlapping components. Together with Weebly, no risk of that happening.
Working with text can also be a breeze in Weebly. You simply click what you would like to edit and sort your words from the box. A few other solutions use"entrance masks" that are somewhat more subjective and not always easy to work with.
So are there Any downsides? That is different. If you would like to have more freedom with your layouts, then you may feel frustrated by the rigid grid system. You ought to go for Wix. This competition also has an automated solution (Wix ADI) that can build the website for you pretty much by itself. You can perhaps shave a couple of minutes of your site building time.
Additionally, there are two things we'd like to see. First is a worldwide undo button. You can undo everything you type in text boxes, but it would be nice to erase mistakes once you add or move elements. Second, Weebly does not have a general media database that keeps all of your pictures. You'll need to re-upload images for each and every element that needs them.
We would say the primary question to ask is. Do I want to market online? Quite simply, if you do, we advise that you go for Weebly Business.
For other kinds of websites, Weebly Starter Is usually sufficient. It provides all you need for displaying info about your services, portfolio or business details. However, the Starter plan misses out on a few Pro features.
If some of those Above are must-haves for your site, you will need to upgrade to Weebly Pro. And for a more comprehensive breakdown, please refer to our complete Weebly pricing comparison page.
Let's get one thing out of the way . if You're an advanced SEO specialist who certainly needs to rank #1 on search engines for a really competitive key word, you may have a tough time using Weebly. It's not impossible, but there are limitations.
· Your headings are limited to H2. There is a free app which allows you add headings from h1 to h6, however, it messes somewhat with your formatting. We wonder why Weebly doesn't integrate it in their system.
· Particular pages (groups and product pages) add a compulsory string to your URL. You get things like www.yoursite.com/store/p1/my-product/yellow. Not a massive issue unless your site is not in English. Same with the website posts, they'll have'/site /' in the URL structure, which can not be changed.
· Adding structured data ( Rich Snippets) is done via code. However, you're in your as Weebly doesn't help.
· 301 redirects. You can control them to prevent broken links when a page URL was changed. Google deeply admires 404 pages.
Still a little Confused about SEO? Don't forget that we have a complete guide on the subject here.
As far as we Know, very secure. The business takes safety very seriously. They promote strong passwords, and supply SSL encryption on all plans. The free tier will run on https which delivers an excess layer of safety. Especially crucial for on-site personal data exchange (e.g. charge card or email address).
Regrettably, we wish Weebly offered more in the way of backup and restore systems. You have to look after it manually by conserving your site as a .zip file frequently. And there is no restore function in case disaster strikes. Wix, for example, tracks new changes and allows you to jump back in time to a previous version of your site.
They mechanically look great on each Device (by being responsive), and they can be adapted to match your personal needs, using the templates as a foundation. No need for you to receive a web design diploma!
We'd say yes, with a caveat. It's great to Sell digital and physical products for small and medium-sized stores, but maybe not for big ones. Although you may use the import and export function to manage many items, you might discover Weebly lacking in features for massive stores.
Ultimately, it's worth noting that although You can create a shop with the Starter and Pro plan, updating to Business and higher makes more sense. You are going to get the automated delivery and sales tax calculator, which is very helpful for serious store owners. What's more, you won't have to pay an additional transaction fee of 3 percent.
You bet! There are no less than 300 apps in A number of categories 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 pity the apps made by Weebly are rather restricted.
However, one thing all the programs have in Common is a super easy installation attribute. One click and bam! All programs are analyzed and will work immediately on your own site. We attempted some cool ones like a way to add tables, event calendars, and data bars to display special information. Our only qualm is that the quality and quantity of programs is a slightly inferior those from the Wix App Store.
Here's What I found to be the experts of Weebly — not only in comparison with Squarespace and Wix or WordPress, but also as an overall online website solution.
Weebly provides Hosting for all of the sites which are constructed on their platform. That can be good or awful, but in Weebly's situation, it's an expert. They have rapid load speeds. Their sites are optimized to their own hosting. They take care of security against hackers and spam. With business plans, they even install and keep SSL across your whole site. Here is my speed test.
There Are still speed and safety risks, but it's an edge for many website owners to have someone else take care of speed, security, backups, etc.. The cost is bundled with pro and free accounts, so it's a good value-add.
Whenever You start any piece of software — no matter how instinctive — there is that moment where you think"okay, what do I do today?" That approach is called onboarding, and it is also incredibly hard to execute well.
The Software maker doesn't want to be annoying, but they also want to provide help. I love how Weebly builds in solid onboarding and education not only via email drip arrangement but also via small info buttons built with their own platform.
One Promoted benefit of utilizing a comprehensive website builder is you won't need to write HTML or CSS code. You only have to drag and drop components. What you see in the builder is exactly what you get on the website.
It's Not always that simple. There is a whole lot of nuances to"drop and drag." Most of us actually mean"I want to click and drag this element and transfer it to a general area where it will look good — you know, mechanically focused, etc." Put simply, it's like playing tee-ball rather than baseball…or bowling with gutter guards up. You want to do the thing, but also have a little bit of assistance.
For The most part, Weebly pulls off this. Their drag and drop really works. As well as for the control freaks among us, they supply access to a custom CSS module, so which you may edit the template into exactly your own choosing.
For Free accounts, Weebly offers an email service alternative and also a well-done Knowledge Base. For paid accounts (even newcomer ), they provide email, chat, AND phone. Response times for me were solid.
With An all-inclusive system, customer support is able to troubleshoot and correct any matter. This is a huge benefit of site builder platforms in general, but especially with Weebly since they have phone support.
If You conduct your own site, you've got to figure out just who will correct a problem prior to getting in contact with them. With Weebly, you just get in contact with them.
The Big advantage of building your own website on your own host is that you don't need to count on a platform's feature set. If you go the platform route, it is key to be certain they have all the qualities you want and need.
Weebly's Feature set is powerful. They have got all the fundamentals — such as website performance, contact forms, etc, but also the necessary advanced features like URL redirects and page-level customized code placement.
Even Past the advanced requirements, Weebly even includes features like discussion, subscription choices, integrated marketing options, file uploads, etc.. They also have eCommerce alternatives, which I'll cover individually below.
If You go the all-inclusive site builder course, Weebly's feature set should provide everything you will need for typical personal/business websites (though as we will see in the Cons section, you really do want to be especially aware of advanced options).
Why? Square is a payments processor. They are huge offline and want to be bigger in the on/offline arena. That is the reason why they purchased Weebly — and why the future is pretty bright for Weebly's ecommerce features.
If You are starting a website and plan on selling a couple of things here and there or in case you have an offline presence (ie, pop-up stores ) and you want to sell on the internet, the Weebly provides a readymade solution with closely integrated ecommerce characteristics that should only get better.
I have Been using website builders for 20 years because the Homestead.com times and have been closely paying attention to the industry for the past five years. One overarching trend is a company's structure pushes product investment more than the marketing team or the product team.
Even In a fast-growing market, a company's structure and end targets will dictate how it acts and what investments it gets. As I summarized in my Wix vs. Weebly vs. Squarespacestructure can differ wildly among direct competitors.
For Decades, Weebly was an independently owned and operated company going for natural expansion. However, in 2018, they sold to Square — the big player in payments processing. Weebly now operates as an independent subsidiary of Square.
If You do not mind your website on a subdomain (ie, http. //yourwebsite.weebly.com) then Weeblyis free with no expiry. A pretty good deal — particularly for temporary websites.
Total Pricing is very competitive not only in contrast to other comprehensive site buildersbut also with buying your own hosting. Their Starter plan starts around $8/mo when paid up front. And they don't have the common caps of other website builders. The Guru program adds sound features and stays under $12/mo.
And Again — you will notice that everything is accessible and unlimited. There are no limits on webpages or storage area. And unlike competitions such as Wix, they remove all advertisements with the first paid grade.
Compared To building your own site in your host and especially with other website builders, Weebly's pricing is quite aggressive. Price isn't everything, however I really like how they structure it.
But Obviously, no Weebly review will be complete without looking at the drawbacks. Each piece of software will have complaints. Let us look at 3 unique cons I discovered.
Weebly Sort of has that. It has a Pages section that lists out all the pages on your site. It allows you to drag and drop the hierarchy and click on to edit each. But it's far from an efficient system.
There's No way to add custom content forms (except within an individual page). If you're planning a large site (like hundreds of pages), the articles within Weebly would require a private system to keep it all sorted and easily accessible.
This Disadvantage can be overcome, but that I want content could be more easily managed within Weebly.
The Last huge drawback of Weebly is that moving to a new platform is difficult. If you want to move somewhere else, such as your WordPress powered site, Assessing your content and redirecting your URLs will be a challenging process.
Weebly lets One to export your Page content via zip file but blog content will need to be manually copied and/or migrated via RSS.
Again — migrating platforms will always be difficult, but it's something to think about if you're considering quickly growing content or traffic.
Since Weebly enables for HTML editing, most marketing tools and features can be added to your website. However, since you still do not have 100% control on your website & server — it can be challenging and/or impossible to add advanced marketing tools like an EV SSL, customized email collection applications, custom analytics packages, habit social stocks, specific Schemas and A/B testing computer software.
In The jargon — the main issue isn't having"origin" or"FTP" access to your own server files. This isn't an unsolvable problem, but it's something to be careful of if you are planning a long-term job.
For Most all site owners with typical traffic — you'll want to be aware of the limitations, especially if you are planning for rapid expansion.
A bonus for Weebly is that their eCommerce functionality. You can sell products from your Weebly website without changing platforms or performing some special developments. It fits in effortlessly and has solid performance.
The Pricing is affordable. On lower tiers, Weebly charges transaction fees but packages the complete eCommerce bundle for business plans.
It's Great for websites which are mostly lead-generation, informational, etc also wish to sell a few goods. Additionally, it is a fantastic fit for anyone testing out products before moving to a long-term platform. It's not a long-term fit for websites that are eCommerce-first. For those, an internet store you own with WordPress + WooCommerce or a specialty eCommerce platform such as Shopify (review) or Bigcommerce (review) are a much better match.
If You are wanting to build a long-term articles or lead generation site, then I'd look at WordPress.com (for content) or Wix (for overall drag & drop) rather than 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 site builder. That has completely changed. Weebly has evolved into an outstanding site building tool which is better than many competitors. It is easy, uncluttered and simple to use — that is precisely what people with limited technical abilities need when it comes to creating their own internet presence.
Of course, it is not 100% perfect. We'd like To see somewhat more templates, as an example. Finding an email address attached to your domain is also a little pricey, as they recommend G Suite, that costs $5 per month, per user. (Though there are workarounds, as you can see in the FAQ below).
But all in all, Weebly reaches the top of our list of website builders. Their ease of use combined with cool tools such as the iOS or Android app for editing your website on the move, or the amount of add-ons out there in the app center makes it powerful, and fun to use.

Second World War: the other side of story
June 1st, 2017 | Author: DmitriK
Saturday night saw another first for Roseville Rifle Club. Professor Mikhail Prokopenko delivered an informative and personal summary of the WW2 events in Ukraine during June – September of 1941, including a very large encirclement of Soviet armies after the Battle of Kiev. . It was an insight into the rarely spoken loss of over 500,000 Soviet soldiers (killed, captured or missing) in what was a terrible and terrifying fighting over a relatively short period of time in the vicinity of Kiev. Mikhail's very personal account of the steps he has undertaken to uncover the path of his Grandfather and the 48th Engineering battalion his Grandfather served was a story of persistence, persuasion and administrative management in both the Russian and German governments.
Mikhail unveiled the steps he personally has taken to forensically unravel the steps of so many soldiers who in the majority perished as a result of this conflict. His research is ongoing and as he says "I might never know my Grandfather's burial site but I am finding the likely place".
Mikhail showed the detailed photos and maps of the battlefields, soldiers and equipment that revealed the human endeavours, equipment and terrain that confronted everyone who found themselves locked in conflict. Official documents from the German and Russian side including declassified information like papers, promotions of rank amongst others plus individual photos.
Stories of survival by Russian soldiers in the face of diabolical adversity were riveting.
The details that Mickhail provided was clearly just a glimpse of the personal journey that he has committed himself to in his endeavours to uncover the mystery of his Grandfather's final resting place.
Although time did not permit Mikhail from revealing even more information everyone listening was engaged with his dramatic account.
Below are some links to Mikhail's articles which are available on the web (google translated)
https://translate.google.com.au/translate?hl=en&sl=auto&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fsekretno.org%2F48-oib.html
https://translate.google.com.au/translate?hl=en&sl=auto&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fsekretno.org%2F48-oib-Zhuk.html
The evening was completed with a gourmet diner of lamb stew, vegetables, sausages and vintage wine and drinks.
Thanks to Mikhail everyone is the wiser about this event and his ongoing search for the truth.

These sales figures represent new physical retail sales of hardware, software and accessories, which account for roughly 50 percent of the total consumer spend on games. When taking into account our preliminary estimate for other physical format sales in August such as used and rentals at $178 million, and our estimate for digital format sales including full game and add-on content downloads including micro-transactions, subscriptions, mobile apps and the consumer spend on social network games at $528 million, the total consumer spend in August is just over $1.2 billion.
NPDs final assessment of the consumer spend in these areas outside of new physical retail sales will be reported in November in its Q3 2013 Games Market Dynamics: U.S. report.
August 2013 retail video game grew a modest 1% over August 2012 as growth in software and accessories offset soft hardware sales as we near the launch of the Xbox One and PS4. Excluding January 2013, which was up due to an extra reporting week versus January 2012, the last time overall retail video game sales (hardware, software, and accessories) were up year over year was October 2011.
Nintendo's 3DS continued to outsell other hardware platforms for the fourth month straight. The Xbox 360 was the top selling console for the month, which was the thirty-second consecutive month it has led console sales.
Hardware sales were down 40% year over year as every platform experienced a decline. We hope to see hardware sales improve with the launch of the Xbox One and PS4 in November.
Video game retail software sales had their first positive month, up 23 percent, since November 2011. This was driven by the shift of Madden into the August data month and other launches such as Saints Row IV, Disney Infinity and Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Blacklist. In fact, eight of the top ten games this month were launched in August.
Collectively, August 2013 launches made up an astounding 58 percent of overall dollar sales for the month and 41 percent of units sales, which compared to 24 percent of dollar sales and 15 percent of unit sales that August 2012 launches represented in that month. Due to a greater percentage of sales stemming from newer games at full price and have higher priced collector's editions, overall software average pricing grew by 25 percent.
Xbox 360 and PS3 software sales combined to grow over 50 percent and are now only down only one percent year to date. This is remarkable considering how close we are to the launch of their successors, the Xbox One and PS4.
We continue to see support for the 3DS each month with new launches, and this month was no exception as Mario and Luigi: Dream Team was released and ranked as the sixth highest-selling game this month.
If we were to rank the top ten games on a SKU basis, PS3 TALES OF XILLIA would have made the top 10 for August. On a title basis, including all SKUs, Tales of Xillia ranked just outside of the top 10 at number 11.
Further demonstrating the strength of the launch-heavy top 10 ranking, the top 10 games in August 2013 sold more than double the sales than the top 10 games in August 2012.
August 2013 marked the anticipated launch of Disney Infinity and its set of Interactive Gaming Toys*. Combined with sales of Skylanders accessories, one in every three accessory sold this month was an Interactive Gaming Toy.
Sales of Video Game and Subscription cards were also strong in August 2013, and when combined with Interactive Gaming Toys, these two types of accessories represented over 50 percent of dollar sales this month.
Editorial note: With the launch of Disney Infinity, The NPD Group has begun categorizing these sales as well as Skylanders as Interactive Gaming Toys within NPD's accessories category.

Etihad Airways announces daily service to Phuket

The capital city, Bangkok, has ranked as our most popular route for the past four years, with 742,759 passengers flown in 2013 alone. Expanding our reach in the country with a daily service to Phuket is therefore natural progression.
"The island is a strong addition to Etihad Airways' leisure portfolio and we will offer attractive arrival and departure times, with seamless connections to 25 European and GCC cities.

The battle chosen to test out the Iron Duke system was based around the battle of Brienne in early 1814. To keep numbers manageable, a subset of troops from the real order of battle (OOB) was used.
Iron Duke is a computer moderated wargame. Bit of a mouthful, but what this means is that a computer program keeps track of formations, casualties, fatigue and morale while the player concentrates on command decisions and moving their figures on the tabletop. The figures are used to determine which units can fire or charge enemy units.
Army lists to download to suit the Iron Duke Napoleonic rules. The army lists are stored on the computer and can be modified for different battles. The lists include the troops (infantry, cavalry and artillery) as well as the commanders. They are organised into the correct structure. Having these lists speeds up the organisation of a battle.
This article explains the basic unit sizes, figure scales, ground scales and time scales which can be used with the Iron Duke computer moderated game. The system is flexible and it is possible to change time scales during the game. This is very useful for moving quickly through the opening moves and then getting into shorter time periods when the action gets "up close and personal".

Independence Hearing Aids - Having been diagnosed with loss of hearing is indeed a encounter, and among the potential method to help contend with the problematic is to get a hearing aid. With so many varieties of sufficient hearing instruments in the marketplace, it is indeed a encounter to pick one which is vital and good for yourself. It is almost always better to comprehend the clear kinds, their attributes, how they work to increase your superb wisdom and manage to compare the Independence OR audiology clinic yourself although your Independence audiologist will provide you with essential guidance. Because ultimately, the unanticipated choice should be yours and you'll be the one to use the Independence hearing aids device.
The very first vital action you will need to consider is whether you want an sufficient analogue, or fully digital hearing aid. Analogues are the least expensive as well as a signal is sent out by the mic, the essential signal is amplified and sent to the ear. The digital/analogue programmable Oregon audiology aids are a combination of an analogue hearing aid, but possess the clear computer software to customize and program it. This allows the 97351 hearing aid device to easily adapt to the feeling by shifting to various clear listening settings.
Although, the completely digital clear hearing devices are the most high-priced, they have much more channels to discover more frequencies and superb clarity; better functions and vital adjustments to help you to accustom to each unanticipated noise surroundings and the highest sound quality. This really is essential through digital signal processing.
Additionally, check whether the clear hearing aid has directional mic as this will help to highlight Independence sounds. Some models have many superb programs and settings, ask yourself whether you'll benefit from these. Some sufficient versions accommodate to the wearers preferences and are automatic, whilst others require a clear switch; some are compatible to Independence mobile phones.
Constantly ask sufficient questions to make an superb choice and find out more about the clear hearing device, or the Independence company you'll be dealing with.

Before you choose and can rate your own clear hearing aid, you will need to get the seriousness of your Independence hearing loss, the money cost, and how the hearing aid can help you regain some ordinary hearing.
Unfortunately, it's tough to locate any up to date sufficient hearing aid ratings of varied brands of quality and operation, without Independence retailers writing them with a vested interest. This is because Independence hearing loss is one particular and ordinary person model cannot suit everyones needs. Additionally, Independence OR hearing devices are continuously updated with newer and faster vital technology, and costs are continuously changing because of rivalry.
Having the ordinary freedom to do and go wherever you please, without having the unanticipated restrictions associated with Independence hearing loss, is important to living a fulfilled life. We take this as a vital focus area when creating the vital platforms for Independence clinics. Our aim is to create superb hearing devices that automatically and effortlessly simplify your ordinary life while providing you with an essential hearing experience, in Independence OR 97351!
Many people who'd gain from sufficient hearing aids never get them. A lot of Independence people that do are actually astounded at the superb advancement in the lives of theirs. But do not expect a problematic aid to make your hearing as superb as completely clear unaided hearing would be. Do not have an unanticipated aid without first purchasing an essential audiogram to be certain the unanticipated hearing loss of yours is actually of a sort which may be helped by a Independence hearing device and that it cannot be assisted by an essential operation.
You are going to have to clear determine what's very vital for you in a sufficient hearing aid. Some sufficient aids have essential functions that could help make them such a problematic to operate and a lot more essential to changing hearing environments, but those unanticipated attributes could cost more money or even require an clear aid to be cosmetically less clear.
In case you answered issues to several of these vital questions, it may be some vital time to get your problematic hearing tested.

The essential bulk of those with unanticipated hearing problem would gain from utilizing superb hearing devices. But many go without these essential devices either since they're reluctant to accept a clear handicap or perhaps since they do not believe the essential profit will justify the encounter as well as expense.
It's correct that an sufficient aid will not fully make up for Independence hearing loss in the exact same sense that Independence eyeglasses are able to restore 20/20 vision. A hearing aid is vital to amplify noise and voices though cannot provide you with the sufficient patterns of pitch and vital volume that you will have encountered ordinary without having a problematic hearing loss. Independence individuals with a unanticipated hearing loss often say issues dont exist. Despite having the superb assistance of a essential hearing aid, you may still have the problematic sensation. The clear sounds you wish to hear, speech sounds for ordinary example are amplified, but so are also unanticipated sounds including clear background noise, resulting in some amount of clear frustration. The typical superb patterns of sounds that the essential ear is actually adapted to make use of issues to discern wanted from unanticipated info won't ever be completely vital.
Despite their ordinary failure to transport "essential" hearing, aids have improved the ordinary lives of millions of Oregon people enabling them to appreciate their essential senses a bit more clear as well as to communicate much more unanticipated. Many first time superb hearing aid wearers are amazed at the superb quality of the lives of theirs.
In a review of superb hearing aids, Independence hearing aid users reported unanticipated comments like the following: "It's such a essential pleasure to visit for the Independence stroll of mine in the morning and then hear the clear birds singing, that I couldn't hear ordinary before. It's also a unanticipated pleasure to pick up all of a superb sermon at church or maybe someone's essential chat rather compared to problematic parts."
Today's essential hearing devices have come a vital long way from the "encounter" constructed in the problematic 1800s and even from the sufficient equipment out there only a couple of essential years before. Modern vital digital hearing aids are able to do the vital to satisfy the Independence requirements of the Independence wearers and the encounter and changing unanticipated environments they face.
As Independence OR hearing aids grow smaller sized and a lot more superb technologically, they're also far more essential and much less a encounter to put on. Nowadays, in case you've a unanticipated hearing loss, you are able to pick from vital hearing aids with different amounts of sufficient sophistication and clear size, but certain to go Independence shopping for the most superb hearing aid price.

An artist's use of Barbie dolls in photographs did not violate copyright laws, and Mattel must now pay his fees in defending the company's lawsuit.
June 29, 2004 — A photographer whose work depicted Barbie dolls in positions intended to question gender and political ideals will receive nearly $2 million in legal fees after a five-year copyright battle with the doll's manufacturer.
Tom Forsythe, a Utah artist and photographer, successfully defended his right, in district court and on appeal, to use the dolls for the purpose of parody and commentary. Forsythe said his photographs of the dolls depict their embodiment of impossible beauty.
Mattel sued Forsythe in August 1999 for copyright and trademark infringement based on his use of the dolls in a series of 78 photographs.
Judge Ronald S.W. Lew of U.S. District Court in Los Angeles ruled in favor of Forsyth in 2001, but did not award him attorneys fees. A three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals in San Francisco (9th Cir.) upheld the ruling in 2003, calling the trademark infringement claim "groundless and unreasonable." However, the appeals court sent the case back to Lew to reconsider legal fees.
On June 21, Lew ordered Mattel, Inc. to pay Forsythe's legal fees totaling more than $1.8 million.
Forsythe said his photographs were intended to be an "entertaining and insightful social commentary" with comedic yet political implications that also involves gender issues. Some of the photos depicted Barbie in a sexually provocative manner, while others showed dolls posing in or near kitchen appliances such as a toaster oven and a malt mixer.
The photos started as a statement about advertising, using Barbie as an image of "crass consumerism," Forsythe said, but then turned into a message about the Barbie doll itself.
The photos followed the theme "Barbie's power as a beauty myth," and were intended as a parody or commentary and thus fair use of the doll's image, Forsythe argued. Work that criticizes and comments on another's work is protected by law as fair use of copyrighted materials.

Women's hockey's unbeaten streak ends at four
The Hamilton College women's hockey team lost for the first time in six weeks Tuesday, dropping a 4-1 non-conference game at SUNY Cortland.
The Continentals (4-3-1 overall) had gone 3-0-1 since Nov. 24. The host Red Dragons (2-6-1) scored a pair of empty-net goals in the final 88 seconds to seal the win -- their first in 20 tries against Hamilton.
The Continentals trailed nearly the entire opening period after the hosts scored just 40 seconds into the game, but went into the first intermission tied after Sara Taffe '17 knotted the score with 23 seconds left.
Taffe's goal was her second in as many games. Hannah Bartlett '16 assisted on the goal and has three helpers in the last two games.
Kianna Gutenmann had a hand in three of Cortland's goals, opening the scoring with a goal in the opening minute and assisting on the game winner and the Red Dragons' first empty net goal.
Laura Drew also had a goal -- Cortland's first empty netter with 1:28 left in the third period -- and two assists; she assisted on Gutenmann's goal and Madison Fischl's game-winning score 7:57 into the second period.
Eva Kristof closed out the scoring with an empty net goal at the 19:49 mark.
Hamilton's Sam Walther '18 stopped 25 shots and Deanna Meunier made 34 saves for Cortland.
Hamilton continues non-conference action this weekend, playing at the DoubleTree Classic, hosted by Saint Michael's in South Burlington, Vt. The Continentals, who are the tournament's defending champions, face the host Purple Knights Friday at 7 p.m. and take on Plymouth State Saturday at 1 p.m.

The company has landed an important contract with the Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba.
fleischwirtschaft.com — FINLAND, Turku. HKScan has landed an important contract with the Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba. With its Omega-3 Pork quality products HKScan is the first company in the Finnish meat industry to get products to Alibaba's grocery retail reinventing Hema supermarkets and online store.
Hema chain stands out in the Chinese market with high-quality and exceptional products. This chain is very hard to get in to, only a couple of Finnish products have been accepted to the chain. Alibaba introduced its semi-automatic, state of the art concept store chain in 2017. At the moment there are around 100 Hema supermarkets across China.
This is a significant step to HKScan, but getting into this very exclusive Hema-league also paves the way for other clean and safe Finnish products. Hema's unique online store facilitates the branding efficiently and the company gets to tap into the right consumer segment.
