Many parents in the UK have a desire to save money for their children, but their ability to do so varies greatly. According to a recent survey, the average savings per child is £561 per year, adding up to less than £10,100 by the time a child turns 18. While this amount can be beneficial for setting the stage for financial well-being for a young adult, it may not be enough to help cover costs like further education or, for the long-term, retirement savings.
Fortunately, parents have several options when it comes to setting aside funds for their minor children, and even a small amount can go a long way when investments and tax-free benefits are added into the mix. The two most common types of long-term savings for children in the UK are Junior ISAs and Junior SIPPs, both which come with benefits and drawbacks of which parents should be aware.
A Junior ISA, or Junior Individual Savings Account, is a tax-free way for parents to save for their children. Parents can set aside up to the annual limit, currently £4,260 for the 2018/19 tax year, however, smaller amounts can be contributed as well. The Junior ISA comes in two broad forms, including a fixed-rate savings option or a shares and investment option, both which have advantages and disadvantages to consider.
With a Junior ISA, the most significant benefit is the ability to save in a tax-free manner. The funds set aside are not taxed at either the parent's or the child's rate, and they stay tax-free even when the money is transferred to the child. Additionally, many financial institutions offer Junior ISAs with fixed interest rates that provide a safer way to save over the long-term. Investment Junior ISAs may have more growth potential over the same timeframe, but there is risk involved as well.
Junior ISAs also allow parents an opportunity to teach their children about money while they are young. A finance specialist from MoneyPug, an ISA comparison site, shares that explaining to children how savings works from an early age gives them the ability to make wiser choices when they are an adult, from a financial perspective. Junior ISA funds can be used for university expenses, for instance, which can keep young adults from starting their financial life with debt.
While there are inherent benefits to Junior ISAs, one major downside is the fact that the money automatically transfers to the child when he or she turns 18. Without providing some type offinancial education beforehand, a child with a substantial amount of savings at that young age may make poor choices on how to spend the money. Additionally, any savings set aside in a Junior ISA cannot be taken out for another use, so parents need to take care to evaluate how much they can save without limiting their personal or retirement savings schemes.
A SIPP, or a self invested personal pension, is often thought of as a long-term savings vehicle for adults. However, a Junior SIPP can be established for a child, with similar tax benefits as one for an adult. A Junior SIPP also comes in two broad forms – a shares or investment option, or a cash option that accrues a fixed rate of return. The rules around Junior SIPPs differ from Junior ISAs, so parents should take the time to understand them before making an investment.
With a Junior SIPP, parents can establish a long-term savings vehicle for their children with tax benefits. Contributions of up to £2,880 are allowed, and a 20% tax relief contribution is automatically added for non-earning children. These savings are free from tax, and they have protections relating to the inheritance tax exemptions that allow for even further growth over time. Junior SIPPs, then, can be a smart way to help a child save for the big financial goal of retirement early on in life.
While Junior SIPPs can be beneficial, they are also somewhat restrictive. Parents cannot take out contributed funds, and savings are only available without significant penalties when a child reaches age 55. For this reason, SIPPs cannot be used to help fund university costs. Additionally, investing may prove risky over time, as investment returns are not guaranteed.
Parents should consider their ability to save in a Junior ISA, a SIPP, or another child savings vehicle based on their own financial circumstances each month or year. The ability to receive tax benefits on each type of account is beneficial, but the restrictions can be cumbersome to parents and their children. It is necessary to think through these options carefully before making an investment or contribution.

Monica Long is well known by the Ripple community having been at Ripple since 2013. She is the senior vice president of marketing and is in charge of helping Ripple get its message to its targeted audience in simple and easy-to-understand concepts. Her journey in the cryptocurrency industry began in 2013 when she heard about Chris Larsen's new venture and decided to give him a call and find out more. Chris had been her longtime friend, with the two having worked together at Prosper Marketplace, Chris' previous startup which was the first peer-to-peer lending platform in the U.S.
In an interview with Meltem Demirors for the Leaders Series, Monica cited Ripple's mission of removing unnecessary yet costly friction from global payments as one of the key reasons she was excited to join the Ripple team.
Her biggest inspirations are big customer milestones that Ripple has achieved during her time here. One of the watershed moments was when Ripple's first institutional customer went live in production and sent their first customer's payments across the network. It was also a big milestone when the first institutional customer went live with payments through XRP.
Moving forward, interoperability between different systems will be critical to how the crypto industry shapes up, Monica observed. Ripple's engineering team is hard at work on interoperability and the Interledger Protocol is testament to their commitment to enabling instant payments across any number of ledgers without failure.
"The blockchain and cryptocurrencies will be the technology drivers of a new industrial revolution," Monica said in conclusion. The blockchain will change the world in the same way other major innovations like the cotton gin, the shipping container and the internet did.

Q: Pip.conf file to use environment variable Is it possible to have an environment variable as a part of the index url in pip.conf?
I tried using $ and ${} but it does not resolve the variables

A: You can set environment variables for pip to use instead of specifying them in pip.conf file.
Use export PIP_DEFAULT_INDEX_URL='some_url.com' to set them.
To list all config, use pip config list. They should be set.
But beware of config precedence:

--host=foo overrides PIP_HOST=foo
PIP_HOST=foo overrides a config file with [global] host = foo
A command specific section in the config file [] host = bar overrides the option with same name in the [global] config file section

XBox Admits Announcing Crackdown 3 Too Early Was 'a mistake'
XBox is admitting it made a major mistake when it prematurely announced Crackdown 3 at E3 2014, four years before the game would launch.
Shannon Loftis, general manager for Microsoft Studios Publishing, regrets that terrible decision.
"I think we probably announced Crackdown too early," Loftis told Polygon in an interview this week.
The team underestimated the time that would be needed to fine-tune the game, with a lot of time being dedicated to the three distinct game modes.
Crackdown 3 is due out next year for Xbox One and Windows PC.
Reagent Games, Sumo Digital and Cloudgine all contributed to the development, but XBox later came to the realization that the game needed to be a better experience, which took a priority over ensuring they released the game on time.
"We definitely underestimated the challenge of making sure the quality bar of all three of those modes was high and it delivers on what we need to deliver on," Loftis said.
"So we had to take the extra time, [and] make sure that we're delivering the game the Crackdown fans want. It was a super hard decision to do that, and it was made harder because we announced the game."
Loftis says the team is learning from their mistakes as they develop a handful of new exclusives.
"I think in the past we have made the mistake of announcing some exclusives a little bit too early," Loftis explained.
"We're trying to learn from that mistake and do better, so we have a bit that's in development now that we're not talking about. We're in this for the long haul, and we wanna make sure that not just in the spring of 2018, but in the summer, and in the fall, and the spring of 2019 that we'll have great, unique, fun experiences for Xbox gamers."

'Gilmore Girls': Milo Ventimiglia Tried to Have Jess Mariano Killed off
Andrea Francese
Many Gilmore Girls fans are dedicated to the idea of Rory Gilmore ending up with her high school beau, Jess Mariano. Team Jess fans have spent years debating the merits of the relationship and whether they would be better together as adults. If Milo Ventimiglia, the actor who portrayed Jess on the show, had his way, there would be no discussion. He pitched the idea of killing off the character after his initial exit from the series.
Milo Ventimiglia appeared in 37 episodes of the original Gilmore Girls
In season 1 of Gilmore Girls, Rory was happily involved with Dean Forrester. Their romance took fans through season 1 and most of season 2. Jess turned up in season 2 as Luke Danes' troubled nephew. While Jess hated almost everyone and everything in Stars Hollow, he took a liking to Rory.

Rory, drawn to his brooding nature and love of reading, eventually cheated on Dean with Jess. By season 3, the two were a couple, but the romance was short-lived. Ventimiglia and his character departed the series at the end of season 3.
Ventimiglia's departure from the show wasn't for good, though. He showed up throughout seasons 4, 5, and 6 in one-off scenes. His final appearance came in "The Real Paul Anka," the 18th episode of season 6. In total, Jess appeared in 37 episodes of Gilmore Girls. Ventimiglia later reprised his role in Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life in 2016. He appeared in 2 of the special's four episodes.
Milo Ventimiglia wanted writers to kill off Jess Mariano
Ventimiglia was grateful for his time on Gilmore Girls, but he hoped for a grislier ending for his character. In 2016, Ventimiglia told E! Online that he pitched Jess's death to the showrunners. He told the publication, "[I wanted to] get him hit by a bus, a knife in the side of the neck, something bad. I don't know–guess I thought it would be kind of cool."

Writers decided to go with something a bit less extreme. At the end of season 3, Jess encounters his father, Jimmy Mariano, and embarks on a cross-country trek to reunite with him after Luke kicks him out. The trip was supposed to serve as a backdoor pilot to a spinoff series. The spinoff never got off the ground due to the cost of filming.
Thankfully, no one went for the idea of killing off Jess
Jess might have been obnoxious, abrasive, and a little self-involved, but hatred for the character never ran deep. Gilmore Girls showrunner Amy Sherman-Palladino and her partner, Dan Palladino, never went for the idea of killing off the character. They loved him so much that they even made room for him in the 2016 revival, Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life, and changed the character up quite a bit.

Jess, who was an angsty team, appeared to grow into a responsible and mature adult by the time the revival happened. While Sherman-Palladino decided not to fill in that backstory, it is clear that Jess' depiction in the reboot was supposed to be a bit of redemption. What would come of him if Netflix were to announce a second revival is anyone's guess, though.


Dr. Robert Sapolsky is considered one of America's leading scientists doing work on the psychosocial and physiological effects of stress on human life. He began his ground breaking research back in 1978 by studying baboon troops in Kenya. One of the things he noticed was how a baboon's status in the troop impacted it's physiological condition. He noticed, for instance, that the males at the bottom of the hierarchy were thinner and more nervous in general. "They just didn't look very healthy," he said. "That's when I began thinking about how damn stressful it must be to have no status. You never know when you're going to get beat up. You never get laid. You have to work a lot harder for food." So he would shoot these baboons with anesthetic darts and then, while they were plunged into sleep, quickly measure their immune system function and the levels of stress hormones and cholesterol in their blood. What he discovered was stunning. These lower status baboons were living in a state of chronic stress - they had to fight for everything and continually "bow" to those males at the top of the totem pole. And this chronic stress, measured by Sapolsky via their blood samples, revealed that it was a profound chemistry problem that he and other specialists have shown to be true over and over again since that discovery.
"But glucocorticoids have a nasty side effect: When they linger in the bloodstream, as they might due to chronic stress related to low rank, damage accumulates. It's the physiological version of a government devoting too many resources to its defense department, Sapolsky says. The body is so worried about war that it doesn't fix the roads or invest in schools. Interestingly, the effects of stress appear particularly toxic to the brain."
One of the profound impacts of Dr. Sapolsky's research was to show how even one's status in a social group led to a state of chronic stress with the related physiological symptoms being able to be clearly measured and repeated. The long term impact was hugely negative: increased heart rate and blood pressure, a rise in arterial plaque even when fed a low-fat diet, and more than twice as likely to suffer from heart disease and a correspondingly premature death.
Numerous studies among humans since those early primate studies have reconfirmed the powerful negative effects of stress caused by subordination in position and status. When people have a sense of control and power over their lives, stress decreases and health increases. When they don't, stress with all the negative effects, especially when it's chronic, impacts the entire system - and the system ultimately dies.
Here's the way Wired put it: "The moral is that the most dangerous kinds of stress don't feel that stressful. It's not the late night at the office that's going to kill us; it's the feeling that nothing can be done. The person most at risk for heart disease isn't the high-powered executive anxious about their endless to-do list — it's the frustrated janitor stuck with existential despair."
Or, it's the person who because of gender or sexual orientation feels consigned to a "lower status" in society - who feels a sense of powerless because the policies or practices of an organization and laws of the land conspire against their ability and opportunity to rise to higher levels of position and acceptance in their environment. The tragic result of creating this state of imposed potential helplessness and powerlessness is that we as a society, whether intentionally or not, are reproducing experiences of chronic stress and sentencing such people to the risks associated with major health problems. Inequality and prejudice do impact stress levels.
In my opinion, this makes our contemporary religious and social issues of women's ordination and same gender marriage hugely spiritual issues. The fact that in our religious and political organizations we've developed a hierarchy of acceptance and status, denying equality in position and power and therefore rights and opportunities based upon gender and sexual orientation, means that we are also denying a quality of life with its proven and profound health benefits and longevity to some and not others. We are ironically mirroring the baboon troops that live purely instinctual survival existences.
Isn't this in distinct contrast to the model of life Jesus described himself coming to bring to all? "I have come that people will have life, the abundant life!" (John 10:10) Jesus was about lifting people up, increasing their quality of life, empowering and building up people in an atmosphere of equality and acceptance. As opposed to the thief, he pointed out, whose sole purpose is to steal, to kill, to diminish and destroy life for others.
When we develop pyramidal hierarchies where there's an "upper" and a "lower" based upon gender or sexual orientation, and then we develop practices and policies that ensure that the value of that "status" is chronic (and then we top it off by using religious / spiritual language to justify our pyramidal laws and values), we are no better than thieves, stealing from them the abundant, free, and high quality life Jesus came to give them.
Research has also shown another tragic outcome of the state of chronic stress. The stress response can get hardwired into our system especially when it happens at an early stage in life, making people more vulnerable to stress-related diseases and conditions. Here's how it works: "The physiology underlying this response has been elegantly revealed in the laboratory. When lab rats are stressed repeatedly, the amygdala — an almond-shaped nub in the center of the brain — enlarges dramatically. (This swelling comes at the expense of the hippocampus, which is crucial for learning and memory and shrinks under severe stress.) The main job of the amygdala is to perceive danger and help generate the stress response; it's the brain area turned on by dark alleys and Hitchcock movies. Unfortunately, a swollen amygdala means that we're more likely to notice potential threats in the first place, which means we spend more time in a state of anxiety. (This helps explain why a more active amygdala is closely correlated with atherosclerosis.) The end result is that we become more vulnerable to the very thing that's killing us."
Meaningful and effective spirituality is about empowering ourselves and others to experience the highest quality life possible. It's being faithful to the kind of life Jesus said he came to give freely to people - the abundant life - a life where people can become the very best they can be at every stage of life. And genuine spirituality involves facing the structures, policies, practices, and beliefs that people put into place that are diminishing and destroying life for others - facing them and changing them. Equality and justice are spiritual issues that impact the quality of life for all people! To fail to address them is to diminish our own souls, our bodies, and our whole lives - for when even one person in this world is diminished we are all. And when one person is lifted up, we all are lifted up, we all are enhanced.

Digital solutions are computer programs implemented with a programming language (code).
The content descriptions do not explicitly address Digital Solutions in band F-2.
Implement Digital Solutions
Turn an algorithm into a program (code) for a computer to run. Coding is a synonym for computer programming.
Students can write the code to solve a simple problem.
Students can write code in a general purpose programming language without any scaffold or starting code.
Modify Digital Solutions
When presented with the code of an existing computer program, changing that code to produce either a different result or an improved outcome.
Students can make modifications to non-trivial programs, reading and interpreting an existing code base.
Students can write original code that solves defined problems for the general case correctly.
A computer program is an unambiguous representation of an algorithm for a computer to run.
Students can correctly implement a variety of algorithms they are presented with.
Programming constructs
Programming constructs are the fundamental principles of program control flow we use in programming languages.
The content descriptions do not explicitly address Programming constructs in band F-2.
Implementing a decision in a programming language, usually using an if or if-else statement.
Students can create programs that include some form of decision, such as writing simple if-statements.
Receiving data from the user (via a sensor or direct input with a keyboard, mouse of other input device) and using that data in code.
Students can write programs that accept input from the user, which is entered after the program has been executed. For example this could be in the form of a button press on a device, or a key press triggering an event in Scratch.
Students can implement decisions in their programs that include multiple outcomes (else-if statements) and nested logic.
Students can accept input from the user through the keyboard or other peripherals, and store that input in a variable that can be used to affect program execution.
Implementing a block of instructions in a programming language that is repeated based on some kind of test condition. These include looping constructs such as while, for and repeat until.
Students can implement loops in their program that repeat a given number of times, continue until a certain condition is met, and may include variables and values that change inside the loop and trigger its exit condition.
Defines what the user can do and how they interact with the computer program. Includes things like buttons, sliders and text prompts that allow the user to provide input.
Students can construct user interfaces that use intuitive design and clear directions to interface with users.
Students can implement complicated examples of branching that evaluate multiple conditions and use a variety of logical comparisons.
Students can write different types of loops in a general-purpose language to solve a range of problems.
A block of computer programming code with a defined purpose that can be accessed or called from another part of the computer program. Used to organise and structure code inside a more complicated computer program.
Students can define and use their own functions to make programs more modular. The functions they develop can produce different return values based on input parameters.
The construction of more complex computer programs is achieved most efficiently through the separation of related parts of the program into separate files. This makes it easier to manage, allows for simpler collaboration, and reduces the likelihood of errors. It also allows separate program modules to be reused in other projects.
Students can develop programs that are large and complex enough such that the code is split between multiple files. Each file, or module, can then be used in other projects as necessary.
The way data is organised for storage and processing inside a computer program. The choice of data structure is dependent on many factors e.g. related collections of data might be stored together in an array (list) or hash table (dictionary), and more complex models of data could be stored as user-defined classes.
Students can use more complicated data structures, such as arrays (lists) and dictionaries, to manage the information that a program requires.
Programming paradigms are the underlying philosophies and approaches that are used in the structure of computer programs.
The content descriptions do not explicitly address Programming paradigms in band F-2.
Visual programming
Writing a program using a visual programming language, usually some kind of block-based interface.
Students can write code in a visual language such as Scratch or Blockly.
Students can create programs using visual programming languages that contain complex logic and behave correctly with greater variations in input and user interaction.
General-purpose programming
Using a text-based programming language that is capable of solving a variety of problems from many domains to create a digital solution. The language chosen must not be platform-, application- or domain-dependent.
Students can develop software in a general purpose programming language, and use these skills across multiple domains to solve a range of problems.
The organisation and processing of the data inside a computer program using user-defined classes. Object-oriented programming languages support the concepts of class definition, inheritance and polymorphism.
Students can define their own objects (classes) to model and manage how data is stored and processed. They can use inheritance and polymorphism appropriately in their solutions to simplify their code.


A: Into the form editor (form builder), click a field to edit its details, there is a setting there named "Add CSS Layout Keywords". You can add the class name into that field, so the style specified into the CSS class will be applied to that field.
You can place the CSS class either into the CSS file of your template or into the file "cp-easy-form-builder\css\stylepublic.css" located into the plugin's folder.
A: Yes, use the "Add CSS Layout Keywords" field into the form creator for doing that. Into the form creator click a field and into its settings there is one field named "Add Css Layout Keywords". Into that field you can put the name of a CSS class that will be applied to the field.
For example if you want to put two form fields into the same line then specify for both form fields the class name "column2".
The styles can be applied into any of the CSS files of your theme or into the CSS file "cp-easy-form-builder\css\stylepublic.css".
For further modifications the submit button is located at the end of the file "cp_easyform_public_int.inc.php".
A: There is a new settings box in the Form Builder CP settings named "Submit Button". You can edit the submit button label there and get info about editing its CSS styles.
A: Yes, into the form builder click the field and you will see various options in the "Field Settings" tab. In this case you are interested in the option labeled "Instructions for User".
Type the instruction in the settings field "Instructions for User" and click the checkbox labeled "Show as floating tooltip" below that field, this way the instructions will appear when the field receives the focus (when the user enters to the field to type something).
If the checkbox "Show as floating tooltip" isn't marked then the instructions will appear always displayed immediately below the field in the form.

Students are granted automatic access to technical areas that are related to their core specialist studies. Some technical facilities are open to all users; however other areas necessarily impose strict limits on non-specialist users. This is to maintain our small specialist institution focus.
Specialist Access – Access is automatically provided as part of your core studies and is granted following completion of the appropriate inductions. Inductions will be timetabled as part of your programme.
Project Access – Access can be granted if capacity is available and your tutor agrees that access is of benefit to your studies and you have time to make the most of the facility access.
Before applying for project access, to help us assign resources you must arrange a technical surgery. At the surgery the technician will explore possible approaches to achieve your ideas. They will discuss the likely time commitment and costs involved taking in to account your prior experience and the availability of resources. This will be recorded on a project proposal form by the technician.
If the project seems viable within the resources available the project proposal form will be forwarded to your tutor, outlining the time commitment required. Your tutor must agree to the project proposal and the time committed to achieving it.
You can of course drop in to discuss your ideas with technical staff but to ensure they are free to talk to you it is advised to email to arrange a time.
Most technical areas will run a programme of inductions for project access at key points through the year (usually until Easter). We are unlikely to provide general inductions on demand. Please bear in mind that there are a finite number of spaces available for each facility.
Depending on the time of year it may be impossible to fit in the required induction(s) and the required time and effort to produce work to the desired standard. It is important that you consider this when planning work around your deadlines.
Please note that project access will be prioritised for postgraduate and final year students.


What a joy it was having Martin and Glen with us for their couples session at Viva Photography Subiaco. They are a true example of how love doesn't fade with time, and neither does fun! Glen is a line dancing instructor and has taught Martin the steps throughout their 14 year relationship. They decided to incorporate this aspect of their life into their photo shoot and we got to learn a thing or two along the way. Suited up in cowboy boots and hats they let their love shine through in their dancing and laughter, as Billy Ray Cyrus' "Achy Breaky Heart" played in the studio.
We wish them all the very best in their future together and can't wait to have them back with us again.

Hey Greg! Long time, no question.
I know I should ask something related to "Gargoyles," or "Spider-Man," but instead, my question is about a Shakespeare character.
A couple of nights ago I caught a televised version of the Royal Shakespeare Company's production of "King Lear" on KCET (with Sir Ian McKellan as Lear, no less). Seeing this production, I was reminded of your affinity for the character of Edmund.
I would be very interested to hear your thoughts on Edmund's "change of heart" towards the end of the play. Why the change? What brought it about? You played Edmund in a production, yes? How did you perform this scene?
My interpretation is that Edmund's world has been rocked. Up to just before receiving his mortal wound, he was consistently atheistic, a non-believer capable of exploiting the beliefs of others for his cynical ends. I believe he KNEW he was fighting Edgar at the end, and I believe he was confident that he was the better warrior. But if Edgar could beat him, despite his "legitimate" brother's lack of ability, then maybe there's some truth to the notion that God favors the sword of the man in the right. To Edmund, that might be the only possible explanation for him having lost that duel. (Ironically, he wouldn't take non-superstitious factors into account, like the psychological hardening of Edgar over the course of the play.) "Some good I mean to do before mine own end," says Edmund. At the end of his life, the victory of Edgar has made him -- if not quite a believer -- superstitious. If Edgar can win, then maybe God, the soul, fate, the stars, right and wrong, etc. do have an influence on the actions of man. So he's hedging his bets on the afterlife by providing some truth. It's not exactly selfless, though not ENTIRELY cynical, since I can't imagine he's fully conscious of all this, given the complete lack of time to process events.
I'm not sure if I was a good enough actor to play all the nuances of the above, but that's how I view it. And in the one act play that I wrote about Edmund in college, that's the interpretation I used.

If the series have a season 3 theres any chance to see previous spider-man actors like christopher daniel barnes, rino romano or even tobey mcguire.
I'm not opposed to the notion. In particular, I've worked MANY times with Rino and love the guy.

"Accomplices"
No, I still haven't seen "Watchmen". (Edit, I have seen "Watchmen" and it was good) Gotta wait a little bit before I get the opportunity. So, you'll have to put up with another review of "The Spectacular Spider-Man".
*** SPIDEY SPOILERS ***
"Accomplices" brings back the organized crime element of the series in a major way. Hammerhead representing the Big Man. Sable Manfredi representing her father, Silvio "Silvermane" Manfredi. Dr. Octopus obviously leading the supervillains as the Master Planner. And, Roderick Kingsley.
We open up with Black Cat breaking into OsCorp to steal a data chip, before being chased out by the entire New York underworld. I'll admit, I was hoping for more Black Cat, but plenty of time for her later.
This episode was a fun one. Everyone beats up everyone. Lots of power games and struggles. We also got to know Foswell a little better, and I figured that Patch was Foswell going undercover to get scoops on the underworld.
That being said, last season, Foswell dismissed the idea that L. Thompson Lincoln was the Big Man. I kind of find that a little difficult to believe since that seems to be the worst kept secret in the underworld. Marco and O'Hirn knew he was the Big Man. Those three goons who Goblin outfitted with pumpkin masks knew he was the Big Man. Black Cat referred to the Big Man as Tombstone. Norman Osborn knew he was the Big Man. Harry (if he was the Goblin) knows. How could Foswell, who is undercover as Patch not know?
I still don't think Foswell is the Big Man on this show, and believe me, I am more than cool with that, I love Tombstone in the role. But, the more I think about it, the more I think something must be going on there. Foswell might me on the Big Man's payroll or something. Or not.
I did enjoy finally meeting Roderick Kingsley... who kind of reminds me of Michael Clark Duncan's Kingpin, but with white hair. A lot of money, but he doesn't seem to be the power player the others seem to be. I mean, as Pete said, he owns a perfume company, why is he involved? If he wants to be a real player in the underworld... he's going to need something a little extra. And now, my not so inner comic book nerd who knows where this is likely to lead is shutting up now. ;)
I just want to say that I don't think the Kingsley that cowered before Silver Sable was Roderick. I think that was his twin brother, Daniel, covering for Roddy like in the comics.
Silver Sable was great. I'm sure some people will be annoyed that she was changed into Silvermane's daughter, but I'm not. Actually, it fits in nicely with the whole 'silver' theme that's going there. It just feels a lot more organic and natural. She kicked ass, took names, and, let's face it, Spidey needs more female villains.
I agree with Spidey. Sable and Hammerhead used to date? Ew. I actually said ew a few seconds before Spidey did.
And there's Rhino. I liked him here. He doesn't want any competition. And I loved his brief team-up with Spidey.
Doc Ock mostly seemed to sit this one out. Obviously, he doesn't care if the data gets destroyed or not, he created the process of transforming O'Hirn into the Rhino in the first place. What's to stop him from doing it again? Was also cool to see Vulture still hanging out with him. Oh, and Ock, you devil you. Two dates? He's always been such a player in the comics. Whether it's Stunner, Lady Octopus, or Aunt May... chicks love the good doctor. It's the tentacles.
And Norman Osborn came out the victor here. Gets to keep his tech and do whatever he wants with it, and millions and millions of dollars in a secret account for him. Gee... I wonder what he's going to do here.
Well, looks the groundwork is being laid for an excellent gang war story arc. Harry is jealous that Pete is getting a lot of attention from his dad. Pete still digs Gwen more than Liz. And George is getting really blatant about his knowledge of Spidey's identity.
But, perhaps the biggest mystery of them all? When will Hobie Brown speak???
Tune in next week, same spider time. Same spider channel.
SPIDEY SPOILERS!!!!!
Thanks for the kind words.

I saw Watchmen recently (awesome, by the way), and I just had to ask...
Was David Xanatos in any way inspired by or modeled on Adrian Veidt?
Not particularly, though of course I had read Watchmen -- in fact, I worked at DC Comics when it came out (and provided Rorshach's thumbprints) -- so it's possible that Veidt had a subconscious influence. But Xanatos has WAY less in common with Ozymandias, then he does with General Wade Eiling from Captain Atom.

I have a questions about the original Olympians in the Gargoyles universe. I hope you aren't sick of my curiosity about the Third Race, but the links to mythology are my favorite parts of Gargoyles, since I've always loved mythology.
I was looking in the Archives about the New Olympians, and I found two entries that interested me. In 2000, concerning the New Olympians and their ancestors, when asked about those ancestors who were worshipped as gods, you wrote:
"They weren't actually immortal."
Later in 2001, you wrote:
"The ancestors were the "gods and monsters" of legend. Many of whom were known as the Olympian Gods of Ancient Greek and Roman mythology.
Most of them were of the Children."
I'm sure I am misinterpreting your responses, but I find these two seem contradictory. The 2001 response indicates most of them were "of the Children" but the 2000 response seems to me to mean that most of them were not Children of Mab.
1. With regards to the original 12 Olympians, were most of the 12 Olympians Children of Mab, or just some of them? Or were most of the original 12 Olympians hybrids?
Just some of them.
**SEASON TWO "SPECTACULAR SPIDER-MAN" SPOILERS*
Do you think it's likely we can see a Mysterio story from the comic books on your show in the future? Like "Spider-Man Goes Mad!" where Mysterio is Dr. Reinhart, or the story where he makes Spider-Man think he's only six inches tall?
I really love what you've done with Electro. Kind of surprised that it seems he now likes being Electro in season two, though, since he just wanted to be cured in season one. Seems he's literally gone mad with power now. Will Electro ever look human again but keep his powers, or is his "electric being" look permanent for your show? Regardless, hope Electro returns for season three.
Hope that Captain Stacy returns, too. But I don't want him killed off the show just yet. I've read on the internet that a lot of people want to see the "Death of George Stacy" story done on the show, but can you wait bit till you tell that story? I thought Captian Stacy dies when Peter is in college and not in high school, so it's a bit early for that story. Besides, I'm loving what has been done with the character so far.
I also hope Blackie Gaxton and Sha Shan come back for season three. I love how Gaxton's been seen a few times on your show, since he only appeared once in the comics with Doc Ock. Nice to see you've done more with these characters than the comic books ever did.
**END OF SEASON 2 SPOILERS**
SPIDEY SPOILERS!!!!!!
Thanks. I'm sure every character you mentioned will return if we get a third season.
Martin writes...
Why so many people dont like Carnage? He's cool, stronger than Spidey and Venom, he got better design, he's a psycho killer. I really dont get it. Anyway, question. Some sites have pointed that Chameleon's real name is Dmitri Kravinoff. Is this true?
SPIDEY SPOILERS!!!

Hey Greg!
Watched "Gargoyles" as a kid and loved it (it was a lot darker than most cartoons at the time...which I thought was excellent), and have been an avid follower of "The Spectacular Spider-Man" (you really outdid yourself there, gotta say). I'm from Canada, so I've seen the second season already and, as such, have a brief query regarding the look of Gwen Stacy...
In one of the later episodes M.J. gives Gwen a make-over that sticks around (albeit with some alterations) for the remaining episodes. With that in mind, I was wondering if you plan on retaining this design for the proposed third season? I thought the change was excellent, and gave her character a lovely "girl-next-door" look that's very much in line with Romita's work on the series.
Can't wait to see more of your work in the future -- whether it's Gargoyles, Spidey or something entirely new!
SPIDEY SPOILERS!!!!!!!
Our plan is for Gwen to keep the long hair and the headband (which will generally, but not always, be black). She'll wear glasses sometimes, contacts other times. Her clothes will obviously depend on the occasion and the weather. But her base model won't change in a proposed Season Three (since all three seasons take place within a span of months.
First, i just wanted to say Thank You to your team for making imo the best Spider-man show ever created by far! The animation and fight scenes are amazing, and the storytelling is very well-done. I've already seen season 1 and 2, and now my only challenge is waiting for a season 3 to (hopefully) surface! And also, i'm glad that i hear you do not care much for Carnage. He is a one-dimensional character and imo not deserving of yall's storytelling abilities.
One question. Do you think yall are seriously looking into doing the Clone Saga with miles warren in a season arc? It was a great storyline back in the day, and when they brought it back in the last decade or so in the comics, i thought it just kinda tarnished the memory of old with all the confusing new revelations. I would love to see your group do it right! Do you yourself like the old storyline (i think it ran from Amazing spiderman 129-149)? thanks for your time!
SPIDEY SPOILERS!!!!
You seem to LOVE to spread the Carnage rumor. What's your source for this? Seriously, are you making this up?
Rebel writes...
Which part of the world did gargoyles first arise in? For example, humans apparently arose in Africa and then migrated almost everywhere else, and then evolved. I'm curious to know which continent gargoyles first came from. If you'd care to narrow it down even further, that'd be great, since a continent is a really big place.
I did a search to see if this had already been answered, but I didn't see anything. If you've answered it already and I missed it, my apologies.
Pangea.
I want to ask some questions about The Spectacular Spider-Man
1)I saw episode First Steps.I don't get why Sandman is working for Hammerhead,i thought that he was working for Master Planner?I know Hammerhead mention about Sandman's Super-Villain Services,but i still don't get it.
2)Do you have any future plans for Dock Ock,Venom,Green Goblin or Tombstone?
3)Will Doc Connors become Lizard again?And will Milles Warren will become Jackal?
4)Do you have intentions to do Clone Saga In Spectacular Spider-Man Season 3 Or Season 4 and do you have ideas who would be Clone Saga Mastermind?
5)I heard you don't like Carnage.Does that mean that we won't see him in Spectacular Spider-Man?
1. Sandman's chasing his big score. Master Planner loaned him out to Hammerhead.
2. Isn't that kind of a silly question?
3. No comment.
5. I have NEVER said I don't like Carnage. Where do these rumors start?
Durkinator writes...
Hey Greg -
I'm not sure if this counts as a spoiler per se, but it does have to do with a running gag that I THINK has only been in season 2 so far.
Basically, I LOVE the little gag with Hobie Brown always getting cut off when he speaks. I don't know what it is about it, it's just so random and so hilarious. I'm watching "Opening Night" as I'm writing this, and I love the scene where he gets the part of Puck.
So my question is--where did that come from? I don't know all that much about Hobie in the comics, other than that he becomes the Prowler, but I'm pretty sure there was never any jokes about his speech. Who came up with that?
I guess I did. It kind of evolved. We introduced Hobie in a non-speaking part in Season One. (Keep in mind that we don't have an unlimited voice talent budget, so we can't give lines just to give 'em.) I knew I wanted/needed him to play Puck (as Harry's understudy) near the end of Season Two, and I knew I wanted to set him up a bit before that. Introduce his girlfriend Mindy, etc. But do it all economically, both from a money standpoint and a screentime standpoint. This seemed like a fun way to do it. That the first time you ever actually hear him speak, he's speaking Shakespeare. More is in store for Hobie and actor Charles Duckworth (love that name!) if we get a third season.

Who is your favorite character on The Spectacular Spider-Man?
Don't have just one favorite.
Ugh... sorry to post two in a row, really sorry. But I posted my review of "Identity Crisis" before "Growing Pains" by accident.
"Growing Pains"
Another Sunday, another episode of "The Spectacular Spider-Man" come and gone. And, as far as episodes go, I almost wish there was a bad one so I could stop heaping praise on this show, it gets a tad predictable. But, a great show is a great show, and I'm glad we have one. Good stuff
Oh what a tangled web we weave
When first we practice to deceive.
Okay, the quote may not be Shakespeare as all the auditions were, but I think that sums up this episode quite well. Our tangled web is being weaved by Venom. He is deceiving the city into believing Spider-Man has become a criminal.
I've spoken my thoughts and opinions on Venom in previous reviews, but I have to say that I like this Venom. I like this Venom a lot, and I hate that I do. But, really, this is what he should be. He is the evil Spider-Man. None of this misunderstood, lethal protector of the innocent garbage. This Venom is completely obsessed with Peter Parker and doesn't care who he hurts to get to him. Which is really what he was in his first two appearances, before Marvel decided they had a cash cow and turned him into something else entirely.
Now, the main plot of this issue is loosely based on Amazing Spider-Man #42 where John Jameson was infected by alien spores and gained power, and at his father, J. Jonah Jameson's insistence, he attempted to hunt down Spider-Man. That very same issue also marked Peter Parker meeting Mary Jane Watson for the first time, complete with the popular phrase "Face it tiger, you just hit the jackpot." But, obviously we already did that in the first season.
I enjoyed the treatment of John Jameson here. I think a lot of people thought the creators of this show would jump right into Man-Wolf with him, but nope, they chose to adapt a fun, if somewhat forgotten story from Lee's run. But, considering how this episode ends, with John at Ravencroft lusting for more power, I can foresee a Man-Wolf down the road.
This episode also marked J. Jonah Jameson's return this season. Yes, we got a brief glimpse of him in "Destructive Testing" but it was a brief glimpse and with no lines. Here, well, Darran Norris is still in top form. I love his take on this character, and I just love how Jameson is written. What I enjoy the most about this Jameson is how his hatred of Spider-Man has slowly built up. First, Spidey was just some mook in a costume who sold papers. Second, Spidey participated in trashing the offices of the Daily Bugle... okay, that was Rhino's fault, but still. Then Spidey, without meaning to, upstaged John Jameson's heroic landing of a doomed space shuttle. Now... as far as Jameson is concerned, Spidey is responsible for John being a mental case. Well played, Weisman.
The whole cast auditioning for St. John Devereaux's play was enough to tickle the Shakespeare geek in me. And looking at the cast list at the end, the play is "A Midsummer Night's Dream". Let's see who I can make out... some of the name's are obscured by Devereaux's arm.
Puck..... Harry Osborn
Titania.. Sha Shan Nguyen
Oberon... Kenny Kong
Cobweb... Glory Grant
Hermia... Mary (I assume Jane Watson).
and all the way at the bottom... O'Reilly (I assume Seymore) and below him... Greg Weisman. LOL, I love these little Easter Eggs.
The ending of the episode, well, I love a good cliffhanger, and you can't get a bigger one than Venom bursting into the offices of the Daily Bugle and announcing that Peter Parker is Spider-Man. What, I have to wait a week? Aw well.
Another spectacular one.
For the record, it wasn't my idea to put my name on the cast list. (Though, of course, I approved it.)
"Identity Crisis"
Last week on "The Spectacular Spider-Man". The nefarious Venom revealed Spidey's secret identity to J. Jonah Jameson... CLIFFHANGER! How will Spidey get out of this one?
Will Jameson not believe a big, drooling monster?
Will Spider-Man sell his future marriage to Mary Jane and unborn child to Mephisto after Aunt May gets shot by the Big Man's operatives?
Let's find out...
Again, I have to ask... why didn't Venom ever try this in the comic books? Yes, yes, I know, he wanted to have Spidey all to himself, but that explanation never flew for me. It works for the Green Goblin, because Norman enjoyed the game more than anything. There is a reason he revealed his own identity to Peter Parker after he unmasked Spider-Man. In Norman Osborn's sick mind, it was all a twisted game, and Peter was probably the only real honest relationship he had with another human being (scary as that sounds). But Eddie Brock always blamed Spider-Man for destroying his life, and wanted to return the favor, and yet... he never even came close to pulling the trigger.
And that's why I like this Venom. I like this Venom a lot. He knows Spider-Man's secret identity, and he exploits it. And he almost did it. He almost pulled it off. That trick with the gene cleanser was good. Reveal Spidey's identity, take away his powers, and leave him at the mercy of the entire world. I'm sure the Big Man would have had Aunt May shot within the hour. Not to mention Doc Ock, Vulture, Rhino and Kraven are still at large.
But more than Venom, I think Flash Thompson really shines in this episode. He saved Peter's ass. Twice. He really is Spidey's biggest fan, and I think the ending proved that fact is not sad.
I did like all the reactions to Ned Lee's interview. Norman Osborn said "No" (Alan Rachins gets hauled in for a one syllable word), but I am not entirely convinced he meant it. The Connors just laughed, but gave it serious thought. None of Peter's classmates believe it... although I suspect Mary Jane knows. Gwen laughed (then almost kissed him... curses). I don't think Jameson believed it, but he'd be a fool not to follow up on it. I don't think Ned Lee believed it either, but he was doing his job like a good reporter. But, if George Stacy doesn't know, then I am brain dead.
Aunt May's reaction had me in stitches.
Good to see the gene cleanser come back. And out of Venom's gut mouth also... I love that thing.
"Brock's lost it, Venom is like, twice his size!"
Eddie begging Peter to help him get the symbiote back at the end is just... sick.
I assume Brock is on his way to Ravencroft. Roommates with Electro, John Jameson, and Cletus Kassady (God, I hope that doesn't go where I fear it will).
Miles Warren is officially the slimiest character in the series. I would not be surprised if he was planning to oust the Connors as soon as he got the job. I hope we eventually see that jackal get what's coming to him.
And finally Flash Thompson as Bottom... the role he was born for. He was just the last one to find out. I did like the cartoonish ass head.
Good episode... once again, the team knocks it out of the park.

Thanks. We try.

I was just wondering...I have a very general question. How is it you or any of us know how well a cartoon does. I mean, is there a website that shows a show's ratings? I was interested in knowing how spectacular Spiderman, or any show for that matter, is doing in popularity and there seems to be little out there when I search. Great work on spectacular spiderman by the way. Best cartoon ever.
I learn about the ratings from my bosses. I would think they're published SOMEWHERE, but I couldn't tell you where.
Wesley Nichols writes...
I have a question regarding Gargoyles 2198. You mentioned that the Delilah from that time period would know that she is descended from the Delilah of 1996. Since Gargoyles raise all the hatchlings as children of the Clan, how would she know? Wouldn't the generation gap be far enough that the members of the Labrynth clan would not care or even know?
You'd think.
Since we had season finale arcs for the symbiote/Venom and the Green Goblin, are you open to the idea to a Doctor Octopus season finale storyline?
Also, I hope we see more of Mary Jane Watson next season, please. Yeah, we know Venom said that Peter loves Gwen most on this show, but I'd love to see more of M.J. with Peter. And more Anna Watson, too. Mary Jane's Aunt Anna has kind of been a no-show lately.
I hope we see more of Tombstone. Kevin Michael Richardson does a fantastic job on the show. Hope Calypso and Molten Man return, too.
By the way, will we ever hear Harry Osborn's mom speak on the show?
I'd like to say thanks so much to you and the rest of the writers and crew of this show. "The Spectacular Spider-Man" is the best Spider-Man TV series I've ever seen. Hope that everyone on the cast/crew returns for many more seasons.
Thanks. We hope so too.

I was just wondering, how many pages is a script to one of the episodes to the Spectacular Spider-Man?
First season, we had a 38 page maximum. Second season we had a 36 page maximum, and we were often (if not quite always) still too long. It's somewhat frustrating, but the end result is hard to complain about.

Not so much a question, but a comment. A thanks, really.
I HATE, HATE, HATE Venom. With a fiery passion. I dislike the character more than healthy, I'm sure. But I'd like to thank you and your staff of writers for not only providing me with a Venom I could really love, but making the Venom arc of the second season my favorite story arc of the entire series. The framing devices for each episode were excellently done, and Eddie himself proved to be a formidable antagonist who actually utilized the knowledge the symbiote gave him.
So thank you very much. There's little I love more than seeing initially weak characters finally written to their full potential. Great work. This is why you're one of my favorite people ever. Also, whoever wrote those episodes. I'll have to go back and check.
P.S. Although this is largely a post praising your show's Venom, I'd also like to take a moment to say that my favorite character in the show is Electro. I think he's been handled beautifully and I love the transition his character took from "pissed off villain" to "This is all I have." At least, that's how I saw it. I'm eagerly awaiting a hopeful season three and hoping that Electro, among other villains you're planning, shows up and gets fleshed out more.
Thanks for another great cartoon series, Mr. Weisman.
The Venom arc was written by Kevin Hopps, Nicole Dubuc and Andrew Robinson. I was blessed to have a great writing staff (including also Randy Jandt and Matt Wayne) on the series.
Planning more "flesh" for all our characters, as screen time allows.

I just want to now do you have a final say in how a character or story ends up in spectacular spiderman or does someoneeles besides marvel get the last word in the show.
Marvel, Sony and the network (Disney XD, these days) do have ultimate say, but I can't say there have been a lot of conflicts with any of those companies. Otherwise, Vic Cook and I make all final decisions. Story is more my area, so I'll take responsibility for whatever winds up on screen in that department.
hey greg first of Ithink spectacular spiderman is my favorite show ever. 2nd love gargoyles I like the little brodway cameo in episode one of spidey I just wanted to ask you said that spectacular spiderman is sorta in a 1962 marvel comics reality so only the characters that were aroud then are aroud now.Now I hear season two is set to end in march (the timeline not reality of corse)and I did some reserch so would that mean Ironman would exist at the end of season 2.I know he won't make a cameo or anything Ijust like the idea that he is around and I think every one will nerd out if they see somthing like Pete saying somthing like "it's the latest from stark industries" or something like that. ps I live in canada so I got to season 2 is awsome.
You know I don't have my Spider-Man notes with me at the moment, so I can't confirm or deny your assumptions about Iron Man. But I can confirm that the Fantastic Four, the Hulk and Ant-Man are all active at this stage, and that Professor X is just beginning to set up his school with his first couple of students (Cyclops and Beast).
I have another question regarding Oberon and Titania. Before the beginning of the Gathering and Titania offered to be his wife again was Oberon considering asking her to marry him?
One assumes they had had some conversations about this before, with him asking her, and she demuring...
One thing I am curious about is your view of the events in Shakespear'es Midsummer Nights Dream. After seeing the play, I had always been more sympathetic to Titania than Oberon, yet from your responses, in the Gargoyle Universe,you seem to set the actual event as more sympathetic to Oberon. What caused your decision to take that route?
I'm not sure I'm more sympathetic to Oberon AT ALL. I think he has some positive qualities in the play and some extremely NEGATIVE qualities, and my theory that he's the (illegitimate) father of the changeling boy born of a young virgin he therefore must have seduced before she died in childbirth, doesn't per se make him sympathetic, though I do think it makes his actions more understandable. Admittedly, if your interpretation was that he wants the boy for sexual purposes, he's a monster, and I sound like a sympathetic revisionist/apologist/jerk by comparison. But if you don't attribute that horrific interpretation to the play, then all I've done is motivate his actions with something specific.

Trees down, Woods felled:
A whacky Desert Classic Friday
By Kent Gray
|February 3, 2017
As English professional Callum Shinkwin can attest, it really was a tumbleweed kind of day at the 28th Omega Dubai Desert Classic on Friday.
The wind wasn't funny from the get go and when Tiger Woods, citing uncontrollable back spasms, withdrew from the $2.65m European Tour event just an hour before his second round tee time, the joke really fell flat.
To cap the craziness off, play was suspended at 2.26pm due to the high winds and, with trees falling, finally called for the day an hour later.
The second round was set to resume at 7.30am Saturday but this might yet prove a scheduling race against time for the organisers as much as a battle of attrition for the players with more wild weather forecast.
South African George Coetzee, three under through eight holes before play was suspended, will return to the 18th hole in the lead at -9, a shot clear of overnight leader Sergio Garcia who was one under through five holes.
Fellow Spaniard Nacho Elvira (through four holes) was solo third at -6 and American David Lipsky at -5 (through seven).
Only 63 of the 129 players remaining in the field were able to complete their second rounds, among them German Martin Kaymer and Spaniard Rafa Cabrera Bello who carded sensational three-under 69s in the conditions to leapfrog 33 places into a share of fifth place at -4 and serious title contention.
The big news, inevitably, was Tiger's scratching a day after he slumped to an opening 77, the worst of the his 29 competitive loops of the Majlis course by two strokes.

The initial prognosis is optimistic with Mark Steinberg, the former world No.1's agent, saying the lower back spasms were not connected to the three surgeries Woods has undergone, the last of them in August 2015.
Steinberg doesn't expect the problem, which flared late Thursday night, to prevent Woods playing the Genesis Open at Riviera from February 16 but there is now clearly a huge question mark hanging over the 41-year-old's future.
Kaymer, the co-clubhouse leader with Cabrera Bello, summed up the general feeling afterwards.
"Just sad for the golf tournament and sad for us players to see one of the best players, probably the best player in our era, it's a shame to see," the two-time major champion said of Tiger's Dubai demise.
"On one hand, you want to see him play golf, and on the other hand you don't want to see him struggling. It's a tricky one."

Reigning Open champion Henrik Stenson didn't seem surprised by Woods withdrawal.
"Well, I think with the start he had, I think he had a lot of work to do to play the rest of the week all the way," the Swede, in a temporary share of fifth at -4 through five second round holes, said.
"Again, it's a question of him being healthy. I mean, if he's going to be out here playing, you've got to be 100 percent. Once again, he needs to take care of his injuries obviously."
For the record, Shinkwin, captured by Getty Images' Warren Little in the strangely poetic main picture, was +5 with nine holes of his second round to play. The projected cut was +1.
Dubai-adopted Indian amateur Rayhan Thomas, a star on day one with his 68, was even par through three holes of his second round.

Most people in the WordPress world probably get started off with MAMP or WAMP. The issue with that is that they can be extremely brittle, for one thing.
You're also tied to the versions of the software that MAMP pre-includes. They might upgrade to newer versions, such as PHP 5.6, but the problem is that your local MAMP install is vastly different from your shared host, or your VPS, or your dedicated server.
You can't really get any more different than those two environments — your host machine with MAMP, and a remote server with whatever else is on there. That big gap is what can cause problems when you actually deploy. Or something goes wrong on your production server and you can't replicate it on your local machine, or vice versa.
We have a project called Trellis that sets up a WordPress LEMP stack. Trellis uses Vagrant to create a local development virtual environment.
To get started, all you need to do is make some quick edits to the local development configuration file and then run vagrant up.
It's really that easy. Clone a project, type one command, and be up and running with an environment that matches exactly what other developers on your team have.
Where Trellis differs from, and improves upon, other development setups is that it's also designed to create your staging and production environments too (which is optional). This means it will match your staging/production servers to your development VM.
VVV could possibly be a good solution for you if you're doing work on WordPress core. If you're thinking about using VVV as your development environment for any other situation — don't!
The primary goal of Varying Vagrant Vagrants (VVV) is to provide an approachable development environment that matches a typical production environment.
Sounds good, right? It's not. The problem is there's no "typical" production environment. Just using Apache, PHP, and MySQL does not mean you've matched a production environment. Every production environment is different down to the minor version numbers of software packages.
Instead of using a server configuration system such as Ansible, Puppet, or Chef, VVV uses a Bash script that's almost 1,000 lines to provision a server. This script has been made for development purposes so there's no way it can match up with your production server. Unless, of course, you use VVV to provision it but they discourage such usage.
There was even pull request to VVV years ago by Mark Jaquith to "use a proper provisioner" that got rejected.
Trellis uses Ansible, and we're serious about development and production parity.
Our Modern WordPress Example project is a great way to see everything working.
You might be thinking, "this is too complicated", or "this is overkill for what I need". This is usually what a lot of reactions to Trellis sound like at first. Don't forget that we use these tools for a reason — to make your job as a web developer easier!

No-stress content migration
Don't let the fear of content migration hold you back from a timely intranet upgrade
SharePoint 2010 end of life is coming!
With support for SharePoint Server 2010 coming to an end, many organizations are facing the time crunch to upgrade to SharePoint online. Migrating to a new environment can seemed like an overwhelming task – and one that often gets pushed out farther as other priorities compete for time, money and resources.
We get it – it's a big job. You may have a mountain of content in varying states, or even over multiple legacy sites. Some pages may be actively updated by your content authors, while others have languished, abandoned by someone who moved on from their position years ago. Intranets tend to sprawl over time and can become unwieldy, even with the most thoughtful governance plan.
But people depend on the information available on the intranet to do their daily jobs, so it's important for it to live on a stable, supported platform. Your intranet also has the potential to drive exceptional employee experiences in your organization through connection, collaboration and culture.
So, don't put it off! Instead, plan your strategy, mobilize your team, and pick the right partners, so you can migrate your content with confidence.
Find the right resources
After designing and building over 250 intranets, we've learned that the right resources and support make all the difference. Before you start planning your content migration, make sure you have these key players in place:
Content lead – Choose someone who can take the reins and oversee the process to make sure all content is created, reviewed and approved on time.
Team of content reviewers – In every organization, there's usually a group of people who like cleaning up content and writing for the web. Seek them out early and tap into their interest and engagement.
Strong tech partner – Whether it's your in-house IT department or an external team, you'll be best supported by a partner who knows the ins and outs of content migration, can anticipate and mitigate risks, and strategize for an efficient and smooth transition to your new platform.
Get to know your content
The best way to get started is to conduct a content audit, which will give you a sense of the size, scope and state of your current intranet. This is a great opportunity to clean up and streamline the information for your new intranet to make sure you migrate only relevant, useful and necessary information to your new site.
The great thing about content cleanup is that it will still benefit your existing intranet, so you can start it any time.
Set your priorities
To make a large audit manageable, set some filters to help you figure out what to keep and what to archive or delete:
Leverage your analytics – Sort your content by page views. Your analytics will tell you what employees are looking for and where they are spending the most time. Analytics can give you an idea of what your employees find most valuable and help you make decisions.
Prioritize owned content – Note which pages have an active owner and which lie unclaimed. If no one is actively managing the content, it may be time to get rid of it.
Look for ROT (redundant, outdated, trivial) content – If content is repeated in multiple places, or is inaccurate or no longer relevant, it might need to be revised or discarded altogether.
Flag special content that may impact migration
When conducting your audit, make note of any out-of-the-ordinary content or functionality that may need special consideration on the new site. Bring these items forward to your tech team early in the process so everyone has time to plan for their integration.
Examples include
Applications, such as parking payment, embedded on a page in an iframe
Custom functionality, like a benefit form, built into a specific page using scripts
Managing the review process
When planning your migration, allow plenty of time for the content review and approval process. To a content lead, it may be clear to see when we need to remove a page that is not meeting employees' needs, but content owners might have a different idea. The review process is an opportunity to bring content owners and others in the organization on board with the research findings, to understand their content goals and processes, and work together to simplify the information landscape for everyone.
Map content to your new site
Once your content audit is complete, the current state can be mapped against the information architecture (IA) for your new intranet. To map your content, create a spreadsheet with the following details:
URL of your current intranet page
New URL (from your proposed IA)
Any notes to apply to the specific page
Mapping your content will highlight any gaps that exist between the current intranet and the new site structure. The content team can then review and discuss the gaps and outline a plan to address them, including assigning ownership of the content to be created and estimating effort to create the new content.
The sooner you can map your content, the better. Your content team will appreciate getting a head start on the review and approvals process and on creating any new content that is needed. However, the key component of the map is a finalized IA, which can be tricky to nail down, as it's going through its own review and approval process. It's helpful to keep this in mind and hold the expectation that both the IA and the content map will evolve and need to be updated over the course of the project.
Automation and iteration
Once you've mapped your content, you'll need to think about how you can automate your migration effort. Automated processes can cut effort and time of migration significantly. The key is to find patterns in your site's pages and evaluate the right tool for the job.
Migration tool such as AvePoint, ShareGate, and Metalogix or custom automated scripts will often make the migration effort quicker and less expensive.
A better way to build a SharePoint intranet
GO is our customizable intranet that leverages O365 and our expertise in employee experience, design and development.
Visit our GO website
At Habanero, we have developed a number of scripts and modules to deploy and manage traditional intranet content in our GO SharePoint Office 365 intranet. When it comes to a large content migration, we are able to leverage these tried-and-true scripts to make the process easier and add a level of confidence.
Examples of automation scripts include:
Migrating all mapped content from your old site to a new environment
Sending un-mapped pages to an archive
Fixing in-line reference links in page content
Validating mapping file before migration
With these and other automated scripts, you can migrate to SharePoint Online efficiently and strategically to minimize manual effort. There's no need to fear the mountain of content when you have the support and resources to help your SharePoint migration.
