A doctor once persuaded the administration of a nursing home to bring in animals to be cared for by the residents: rabbits, hens, dogs, cats parakeets. Through this simple change, the entire community seemed to come alive.
People who had stopped talking or walking asked if they could take the dog for a walk. Parakeets were named and adopted. Mortality rates dropped and fewer psychotropic drugs were needed.
Because the pets gave people a sense of purpose.
To need purpose is part of being human.
In fact, when we lack a sense of direction to our lives, we begin to fall apart.
It's not just that we desire it—there's something fundamental to what we are.
But where do we find it?

For some reason while trying to post about Canada, draft posts have been published. I apologize for any confusion.
I'm going to try to upload posts later today about our time in Canada earlier the summer but as always, the innerwebs May have another idea! LOL
We are currently back in Canada-Calgary enjoying seeing the Canadian Rockies. We have had a great summer so far and have our plans set from here until we return from China on Oct 18. Most of August will be spent in Portland Oregon after stops in British Columbia and Washington State on the way there.
Again apologies for the recent confusing posts.

TYLER, TX (KLTV) - The idea of building a mosque not far from Ground Zero in New York has gained the support of New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, and of President Obama.
Meanwhile, polls have shown that the majority of Americans are strongly opposed to it.
But, people in the Muslim faith have said that that would not be the case if there was a stronger understanding of the religion in America.
But, there is a mosque right here in East Texas, where Muslims have been educating people for years.
For the fifth year in a row, the East Texas Islamic Society Mosque is hosting an open house. Christians and Muslims sit together, without shoes, in observance of the fact that a mosque is a place of prayer.
And, as in years past, there are some first-timers.
"I learned some of the things today," said Tyler resident Helen Miner. "I had seen pictures of the men all shoulder to shoulder in mosques, and I didn't realize that is just part of their tradition of faith."
And lessons like that are the goal of these open houses, because with education, can come understanding.
"The more insular you are, the more suspect you are," said Tyler home builder Anwar Khalifa. "So we want to make sure we're open to the public, and people know who we are and how we worship."
Khalifa is a member of the East Texas Islamic Society, and says negative feelings toward Muslims has become the acceptable form of racism in America. He says facing those feelings head-on is the only way to change them.
"You come, and you talk to us, and you see who we really are," Khalifa said. "There's no question out of bounds, you can ask anything you want, and we'll try to answer it the best that we can."
So in addition to showcasing the Muslim faith, the open house included more than an hour of question and answer time from visitors. The Imam, the equivalent of a priest or rabbi, fielded those questions. He's only been in East Texas for a few weeks, but he grew up in New York. He's keenly aware of the controversy there, but says it's presenting an opportunity that Muslims have to take advantage of.
"This is the moment where we have to speak up, because so many people are speaking against Islam," said Imam Faisal Ahmad. "And if we don't provide that balancing voice, then too many people will be misled."
The open house is scheduled every year during the Muslim observance of Ramadan. But the Imam says anyone is welcome to come and speak to him, and ask questions about Islam.

- What Is an Enchanted Object?
- Filming Tips
- Step 1: Setting Up Your Project
- Step 2: Adding Media to the Project and the Timeline
- Step 3: Marking the Freezing Point
- Step 4: Creating a Freeze Frame
- Step 5: Moving the Freeze Frame
- Step 6: Splitting the Screen with the Crop Effect
- Step 7: Getting the Object to Move Again
- Final Steps: Adding a Sound Effect and a Background
- Render and Save
- Well Done!
- Resources
Step 7: Getting the Object to Move Again
If you play back the Timeline now, you'll see the object travel through the air and freeze on command. Then a disjointed jump in the action will occur, and the ball will vanish at the end of the Freeze Frame. This issue needs to be corrected by adding a cropped version of the video at the end of the Freeze Frame to maintain the illusion that the ball froze before moving on. You'll make this change by duplicating the original clip, altering its duration, adding it to the Timeline, and then applying the crop effect again.
Task: To complete the enchanted object effect, follow these steps:
- If it isn't already displayed, click the Edit tab to display the Edit Workspace. Then click the Project button to display the Media view.
- Right-click your action clip in the Media view (not the .bmp Freeze Frame) and select Duplicate from the contextual menu (see Figure 29).
- Double-click the Duplicate clip (with the prefix copy) to open it in the Preview box (see Figure 30).
- Note on the Timeline the CTI position for the start of the Freeze Frame clip (the first marker point)in this case, 00:00:01:23 (see Figure 31). Write down that number.
- Inside the Preview box, in the number column on the left (see Figure 32), enter the number you just wrote down.
- Click the Set In button to set the start of this clip to the CTI point you just specified (see Figure 33). Then close the Preview box.
- Drag-and-drop the duplicate copy from the Media view to the Freeze_Frame track on the Timeline (see Figure 34).
- Click the Freeze Frame clip on the Timeline to select it. Then click the Properties button to open the Properties view for this clip (see Figure 35).
- Right-click the Crop name header in the Properties view and select Copy from the contextual menu (see Figure 36).
- Click the duplicate copy of your video on the Freeze Frame track on the Timeline to select it. This action should display the Properties view for this clip (see Figure 37).
- Right-click inside this area and select Paste from the contextual menu (see Figure 38). The Crop effect will now be applied to the video clip on the Freeze Frame track, using the same values you applied to the Freeze Frame clip.

Taking Kids to the Next Stage
Casting a Big Light Since 2007
Handful Players provides free, inclusive year-round musical theater and performing arts programs for children at schools and community centers in San Francisco. Our dedicated team of experienced artists and teachers guide kids, ages 8-18, through an exciting series of theater arts classes, including acting, singing, dance, puppetry, clowning, spoken word, and set painting. The children collaborate with acclaimed theater playwrights to create original, culturally relevant plays, performed live on stage for their families and the community.
Our Vision
Our playbook? We try to stick to this script.
Kids come first: They're the reason for everything we do. Our primary goal is to assist every child with their personal development, whether it's building self-esteem, learning new skills or finding their creative voice. Also, we want them to have fun!
Prep 'em for a bright future: The memorable experiences kids have at Handful Players—not to mention the friends and mentors they meet—build a strong foundation for a promising tomorrow. We teach kids teamwork, collaboration, organization and communication, practical skills to help them go far.
Diversity sets the stage: We celebrate the social, cultural, economic and racial diversity that makes our community stronger and more deeply connected. By enhancing creative opportunity for kids and audiences, Handful Players helps build bridges that enrich all generations. We work with a diverse group of artists and playwrights to explore themes and topics relevant to the children, including bullying and combating discrimination.
Cast a big light: Our team of exceptionally gifted artists and mentors inspire kids to dream big with constructive, collaborative workshops, unique cultural experiences and innovative original theater.
It takes a village (and a cast of thousands): We leverage the extraordinary talent and commitment of the San Francisco community, uniting a dynamic group of schools, grassroots organizations, brilliant artists and musicians, dedicated volunteers and generous contributors to create magical theater experiences for every child.
Our Story
Since our inception in 2007, Handful Players has spent more than a decade bringing unique theatrical workshops and after-school programs to kids in San Francisco's Western Addition neighborhood. With the active participation of artists, educators, community partners and a strategic board, we provide free, high-quality performing arts activities in a safe, positive environment. Our workshops have culminated in 135 student performances, with live musical accompaniment and free receptions for the community.
We've helped over 3,650 students thrive, offering more than 3,900 hours of musical theater workshops. Our team of innovative teaching artists, playwrights, and jazz musicians reflect the neighborhood's demographics, serving as inspirational role models and mentors. We have commissioned nationally recognized playwrights to write 95 original plays in collaboration with the kids, exploring such culturally relevant themes, as bullying, acting with empathy and the rich history of the Fillmore jazz district. By hosting the children and their families at professional theater events like the African American Shakespeare Company's "Cinderella," ACT's "A Christmas Carol," and the Oregon Shakespeare Festival's student tour, we've enriched and empowered a diverse, often underserved community.

A study, which is part of Knight Foundation's Trust, Media and Democracy initiative with Gallup, probes Americans' perceptions and assessments of local media in depth.
The study reveals that Americans mostly believe local news media are doing a good job performing many of their democratic roles and responsibilities.
Partisanship has become helpful for people to evaluate not just national news organizations like CNN and Fox News, but also their local newspaper or TV station. The study finds that Democrats are more likely than Republicans to trust local news to perform their roles, but there is a wide gap when it comes to getting the facts right.
The study findings present a dilemma for local news. The data suggest that "moving into more aggressive coverage of social and political issues could further polarize views - and possibly lead to an erosion of trust." Read the Entire Article

September 10th, 2019
This week, September 11th falls on a Wednesday. However, to most of us who were alive and are old enough to remember the horror and tragedy of that day, the date of "September 11, 2001" will always be etched in our minds as a Tuesday. A Tuesday that we will never, ever forget. For those of us who are/were firefighters, the date carries a powerful sting, such that hearing someone say the date, often gives us pause.
This national tragedy affects the families of nearly three-thousand innocent victims, from many nationalities and from all walks of life. I know a couple from South Florida and normalcy has never fully returned to their lives.
That morning, I was working in an office for Dalmatian Productions that I was sharing from a friend. I always had a police/fire scanner on my desk, and I heard members of Ft. Lauderdale Fire talking about an accident in NYC – a small plane was believed to have hit one of the World Trade Center towers. I ran into the editing area and rolled out a big, (for then) 27" TV and, after adjusting the antenna, picked up a local station that was rebroadcasting the feed from CNN. One look and I knew this was no small plane.
Within a relatively short time, the first video of the first jet striking the tower was played on TV screens around the country and probably, around the world. As soon as I saw that video, I knew our lives were about to change. Back then, I had been out of the active fire service for nearly sixteen years, due to an injury. However, everything I had learned about flammable liquid fires and multi-story commercial buildings came flooding back to me.
My late friend, who was from Long Island, asked me how I thought the FDNY would fight the fire. I told him, "I don't think they can," and my stomach tightened as I told him that. For I knew, that our brothers would go into that building, not to quench the fire, but to rescue as many people as possible. And just as that thought was uttered to him, the second plane hit the second tower. Now, there was no doubt, no unknown. This was an attack on the United State of America, as was Pearl Harbor.
As I sit here writing this entry, tears already fall from my eyes. Over the years of our friendship, I had shared many of my experiences as a firefighter with my friend and how we accomplished many of the tasks we had had to do on this call or that call. One of those stories dealt with reading smoke, specifically, the changing colors of smoke and what it often meant. I returned to the editing room to check something I had been working on, when my friend called out, "Come here, Steve. I think they ARE getting water on the fire; I can see white steam!"
I rushed back over to the TV and to my horror, I saw and explained what was really happening. "That's not steam! That's concrete dust! The building is collapsing!!"
"No!" he screamed out, but it was true. In a trembling voice he asked, "Do you think they made it?"
"No. They couldn't escape. They may not even knew what was happening until it was too late," I explained.
"You mean…" his voice trailed off.
"Yes," I replied. "I would say that we just lost hundreds of firefighters and civilians, maybe even into the thousands." We both began to weep.
I pulled my chair around and sat there, watching. What could I do? I had to do something. These were my brothers…men that I ridden with once, who welcomed me like family. I had to be able to do something to help. And it was during this though process that we watched the second tower fall. Being a firefighter, I realized something even worse had happened, because shortly before this occurred, the network had shown a shot of the FDNY's command center, outside the two towers. The Chief of Department and a multitude of other officers were instantly killed in the first collapse.
"My God," I said. "We just lost at least five hundred FDNY firefighters!" Thankfully, though that estimate was too high, when we add in our brothers and sisters from the NYPD and Port-Authority, plus the volunteers who had poured in from outside the city, volunteers from fire departments on Long Island and Westchester County, my "guesstimate" was so far off.
My friend turned to me, his eyes red, "What are YOU going to do?"
"I'm going to try and get to New York!" I replied.
"What? Why? You can't fight fire anymore!"
I thought a second and said, "You're right. I can't. But I can help the survivors and others. They're going to need administrative help. People are going to look for their relatives and friends. That means lots of computers and data work. I may not wear bunker gear anymore, but I can create databases and help that way. Anything with computers I can help with." As it happened, my wife and daughters forbade me to head north. Though disappointed in their response, I certainly understood it. So, I thought of something else.
"I'm outta here," I told him as I was heading out the door.
"Where are you going?" he asked.
"I'm heading over to the blood bank in town. I'll bet they'll be jammed. I'll donate a pint first, then help them get ready. Come by when you can."
When I arrived at the Blood Center, there was only one other person there and two technicians. They hadn't heard much, and I filled them in. I asked them to get me started quickly, because we had a lot of prep to do. They looked at me cross-eyed. I said, "In just a little while, you're going to have tens, if not hundreds of people here to donate blood, whether you're ready for them or not. I can't do any venipunctures anymore, but I'll do the registration and vitals. You'd better make that call right now."
One of young women took me over to a lounge and got me started while the other called the main office and explained what I said. While she was still on the phone and I was still trying to fill my bag, people began to show up.
"What are we gonna do," the one with me asked of her co-worker. Her co-worker, still on the phone, held her finger up to advise the young lady to wait as she finished the call. When she hung up, she turned and said, "He's right! We have to get ready and they're sending a couple of more techs over."
I was soon finished and gulped down my can of juice and ate my peanut-butter crackers. And then I grabbed clipboard, a couple of legal pads and grabbed by stethoscope and BP cuff from my BLS rescue bag in my vehicle. That was around 1:00 PM.
We finally closed the door to the blood bank at 10:00 PM. We had started to close at 9:00 PM, but people in line still wanted to donate, so we accepted them, but closed for anyone else that evening. I believe we collected over sixty pints that day and I promised them I'd be back first thing in the morning.
Wednesday morning, I arrived a bit early and found a semi from one of the warehouse stores in the community, who came to drop off bottles of water, cans and pouches of juices and boxes and boxes of snacks. Oh…and no bill.
That day, we opened at 9:00 AM and worked until 10:00 PM. Though the early and later parts of the day were busy, the mid-afternoon was slow in comparison, but people did keep coming.
Thursday morning, another semi was waiting in the parking lot. This time from one of the grocery stores. Same type of delivery.
It was around 2 o'clock, I think, that word was received that few survivors had been found to that point and they did not expect the blood that had been collected around the country, would be needed in NYC. That news stung, hard! We (and so many others) had worked so hard to be able to help. And truth be told, we did. All the blood that we had collected was able to be kept in the community to serve the needs here. And the same held true for most of the country.
Nevertheless, those days brought the American people together like they had not been since World War II. We were truly, "One nation, under God, indivisible…" It didn't matter if one was a Republican or Democrat, African American, Caucasian, Italian or Polish; we were ONE country, UNITED together by this tragedy, at least for a little while.
I pray for all those we lost on that day. I pray for those who worked the pile for days, weeks and months and paid the ultimate price for their dedication. And I pray that it will not take another tragedy like 9/11 to do again.
12/6/2019 03:10:06 am
It has been 18 years since the 9/11 event in America happened. Looking back ate the stories we all had on that day, there is one thing that comes from within; sadness. We are all sad that it happened. A lot of lives were put int waste because of the attack. I am sure that no one expected it to happen; other may have experienced major shifts on their lives because they have lost their loved ones. Up to these days, I still pray for all souls who had victims of the said tragedy.
12/9/2019 12:14:03 pm
Thank you for your poignant comment. You clearly underscored one of the most prevalent underlying emotions that we have taken with us from this tragic even - the overwhelming sadness as to its brutality and loss that innocent families, as well as our entire country (and other countries that lost their citizens in the attacks, too) have suffered and continue to feel, even eighteen years later.

(The Life That's Beyond The Senses And Science)
TO THE BIBLE: Mark 16:17-18
"And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover."
Joan was someone to wonder at: she was well-known by everyone in her class as the best student in every subject. And whenever she noticed someone sick around her, she would ask to pray for that person, then place her hands on them, and command the sickness to leave, and, no matter what it was, it left! She truly lived an extraordinary life that others found difficult to grasp.
There's more to life than science and all its discoveries. Science is what man has been able to get from the effective use of his physical senses; but there's a realm beyond the senses. And as new creations in Christ Jesus, we're born into this realm and we rule the world through faith! For example, we "lay our hands" on the sick and they recover. This happens because we're like Jesus Christ who had the ability to do the impossible while He walked the earth. When He stepped in, things changed. When He said, "Receive your sight," the man who was born blind began to see. When He said, "Rise up and walk," the lame got up to run.
There's something about the Word of God that's beyond science, nature, and the senses! Everyone should get hold of this truth. This is the essence of living by the Word of God. The Word of God was given to us, not only to inform us, and educate us about spiritual things, but for us to use, and to live the supernatural life. It's a life beyond this world.
Go Deeper: Luke 10:19; Romans 5:17; Hebrews 10:38
I'm not subject to sickness, failure and lack; my life is a testimony of God's greatness. Divine power is at work in me, and my victory in Christ is fully assured.

Wenge Coffee Table
This coffee table is made of wenge, a beautiful dark wood from Africa. The light banding alonge the edges of the top is the sapwood of the tree as it grows naturally. The free flowing shape of the edges is the outside of the tree with the bark removed. It was so striking, I had to use it in the design. The ends of the table top are cut with an angle similar to that of the sides. I think it is more complimantary than the typical 90 degree cut.
I designed the lower shelf with 3 things in mind. It should be functional as a shelf, it should stabilize the legs, and it should not detract from the table top. I believe I have achieved my goal. This is a very rigid design which makes it functional, yet it is visually light enough to compliment the top.
This piece is priced at $1800.00
Dimensions: 44" long X 20" wide X 17" high

Amagwinya with a Twist
This recipe was inspired by a friend's visit, usually when I visit her place this is what I make, and we would eat amagwinya with chicken polony and cheese. Today she was visiting and I thought for old time sake I should make amagwinya and being deliriously happy for hosting her I thought I should experiment and I threw in Greek Yoghurt in the dough, honestly, don't ask me why? However, I suppose that the idea came from previous experience, when the addition of the yoghurt made my breads softer and fluffy. Please try it and tell me what you think.
Equipment you will need:
Deep Frying Pan or Pot
Wooden Spoon
Digital scale
Mixing bowl
600g Cake Flour (plus 1 tablespoon)
125g Greek Yogurt
1 Tablespoon Canola Oil
10g Instant Yeast
3 Tablespoons Brown Sugar
3g Sea Salt
350ml Lukewarm Water
Canola Oil for frying (about a litre)
- In a large mixing bowl, sieve in flour, then add yeast, sugar and, mix well.
- Add 1tbl spoon of canola oil, yoghurt then water, roughly mix everything using a wooden spoon.
- Then start kneading with your hands. Knead for 11 to 12 minutes until the dough gets less sticky (but still sticky as this is a sticky dough).
- Transfer the dough into a floured surface (using the 1 tablespoon of flour). Wash the mixing bowl and slightly grease it with oil and transfer the dough in it. Cover with a cling wrap or kitchen towel and let it rise for 1 to 2 hours or until it doubles in size.
- Roll the dough onto a floured surface and press down to form an even layer. Then cut equal size portions, roll the portions to form a ball. And let the balls prove for 20 to 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile heat up the oil, when the oil is hot enough, drop the dough balls into the hot oil and fry on all sides until golden brown.
- Cut amagwinya in half and add cheese and polony or any cold meat you like and serve.
Note:Try not to overcrowd the pan or pot when frying amagwinya to prevent lowering the oil temperature.

There's no better way to start off a new month than with some good music, is there? And if some of the recently released music is any indication, it looks like October is off to a great start! This month is going to be especially amazing for indie rock fans, who have just been treated to some stellar new releases. From B-sides by Arcade Fire to Wavves' return to form, this month is going to make us experience music-induced nirvana! Do you want the lowdown on the best new music? Here are the 5 best tracks to start October with:
What a Nice Surprise – Rey Pila
Though What a Nice Surprise was originally released as a standalone single, it wasn't until recently that we got to listen to Rey Pila's full LP. And boy, was it worth the wait! One of the finest tracks on the record, this is the perfect conclusion to an amazing album… And an amazing way to start a brand new month!
Clearest Blue – CHVRCHES
We'll never understand how CHVRCHES manages to strike the right balance between pop and indie rock. But if there's one track that showcases their expertise, it's Clearest Blue. The synth and the vocals make for a song that is both energizing and calming. (Again, how do they do it?)
Women of a Certain Age – Arcade Fire
Can you believe it has been two years since Arcade Fire released their genre-defining record, Reflektor? Just when the lack of new music by Arcade Fire was starting to upset us, the band released The Reflektor Tapes. The B-sides are so good, that it's hard to believe that they aren't lead singles. And if there's one we love the most, it's Women of a Certain Age.
Pony – Wavves
Undoubtedly Wavves' best track since 2011's Poor Lenore, Pony is the perfect upbeat rock song! Melodic yet gritty, the song marks Wavves' return to form. We didn't realize it until we listened to Pony, but boy, we've missed Wavves! Welcome back, boys!
We Made It – Born Ruffians
It's hard to do mellow indie rock without crossing the line into mushy. But if there's one band that knows how to do it right, it's Born Ruffians. Don't just take our word for it though. Push play on We Made It, and relive the magic of early millenium rock!

Marijuana Moment reports
Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin pledged on Tuesday to take a look at a banking bill that would enable financial institutions to service cannabis businesses. While the official said he's not familiar with the legislation, he acknowledged that the existing system—which leaves many marijuana companies operating on a largely cash-only basis—is a "significant issue."
"I'm not going to make a comment on what the policy should be," Mnuchin said. "There is a problem that there is a conflict between the federal law and state law."
Rep. Brad Sherman (D-CA) asked Mnuchin to review the Secure and Fair Enforcement (SAFE) Banking Act and consider endorsing it within two weeks. The official said he'd be "happy to review it and my staff will follow up."

Ameriprise Financial Services uses surrounding neighborhoods as influence for award-winning water system
Thomas D. and Dixie M. Roberts of Ameriprise Financial Services Inc won the 'Water Wise Landscaping' beautification award for their water system in the front of their building.
"It was a very nice honor to be considered and to receive the award with all of the people that had applied," Financial advisor of Ameriprise Financial Services Inc, Dixie M. Roberts said. "It was very nice to be recognized for the work we've done around here."
The business has been in Cheyenne for 34 years, however, they moved into the location on Central Ave. in 2000. The idea of the water system didn't come along, until after the relocation.
"This is a really nice neighborhood and a lot of the neighbors spend a lot of time in their yards, and we wanted to be a part of that."
Building the water system took roughly a week to complete.
Ameriprise used Sawyer Waterscaping, LLP whom came up with the design.
"They've just done such a lovely job at creating a water wise, water landscaping for the community. It's just great," Mayor Orr said.

FYI: interpreted coordinate order flipped in GML files with URI format srsName
This is not specific to the Biodiversity and Management Area Cluster, but it seems I have to choose one the themes to post:
I found out that when using the INSPIRE-compliant URI-format coordinate reference system names (like "http://www.opengis.net/def/crs/EPSG/0/3035) in the GML files, the GDAL library (before the currently unreleased version 2.1.2) does not respect the coordinate order of the EPSG:3035 (northing, easting), but instead uses the order (easting, northing). This obviously create problems for the users using previous versions of GDAL either directly or indirectly (through QGIS for example) for reading GML INSPIRE datasets.
If one uses the URN format srsName (urn:ogc:def:crs:EPSG::3035) the coordinates are interpreted in the official EPSG axis order, but using the URN CRS IDs are not allowed by the INSPIRE Data Specifications.
Based on the discussion on the QGIS user mailing list there seems to by no workaround available, except using the URN format srsNames.
This has been identified as a bug in GDAL GML Driver, and the fix has already been done in code scheduled to be released as GDAL 2.1.2: https://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/ticket/6678
Hi all,
I would like to share another issue related to the 'use of the INSPIRE-compliant URI-format coordinate reference system names (like "http://www.opengis.net/def/crs/EPSG/0/3035) in the GML files': the http URI encoding for CRS is currently not supported by deegree. Therefore you are not able to ingest a GML which conforms to INSPIRE TG requirement for CRS encoding and serve it by means of deegree WFS.
For more details you can read the issue reported to deegree developers.
Hi Ilkka and all,
I found here this information that may help because it describes how to configure GDAL starting from version 1.8.0 (released in January 2011, so yesterday) in order to deal with the axis order & with CRS provided as URN vs URL.
To work properly users must make some configurations explained in the document. As most if not even all GIS software are using GDAL it is necessary to find which GDAL version is installed and to configure GDAL. See https://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/wiki/ConfigOptions
Starting with version 2.1.2 (just released yesterday, on 21 October 2016) GDAL works without any configuration, most probably because the default value for GML_SWAP_COORDINATES is set to AUTO.
And here is the text:
<<Since OGR 1.8.0, the GML driver has coordinate system support. This is only reported when all the geometries of a layer have a srsName attribute, whose value is the same for all geometries. For srsName such as "urn:ogc:def:crs:EPSG:" (or "http://www.opengis.net/def/crs/EPSG/0/" starting with GDAL 2.1.2), for geographic coordinate systems (as returned by WFS 1.1.0 for example), the axis order should be (latitude, longitude) as required by the standards, but this is unusual and can cause issues with applications unaware of axis order. So by default, the driver will swap the coordinates so that they are in the (longitude, latitude) order and report a SRS without axis order specified. It is possible to get the original (latitude, longitude) order and SRS with axis order by setting the configuration option GML_INVERT_AXIS_ORDER_IF_LAT_LONG to NO.
There also situations where the srsName is of the form "EPSG:XXXX" (whereas "urn:ogc:def:crs:EPSG::XXXX" would have been more explicit on the intent) and the coordinates in the file are in (latitude, longitude) order. By default, OGR will not consider the EPSG axis order and will report the coordinates in (latitude,longitude) order. However, if you set the configuration option GML_CONSIDER_EPSG_AS_URN to YES, the rules explained in the previous paragraph will be applied.
Since OGR 1.10, the above also applied for projected coordinate systems whose EPSG preferred axis order is (northing, easting).
Starting with GDAL 2.1.2, the SWAP_COORDINATES open option (or GML_SWAP_COORDINATES configuration option) can be set to AUTO/YES/NO. It controls whether the order of the x/y or long/lat coordinates should be swapped. In AUTO mode, the driver will determine if swapping must be done from the srsName and value of other options like CONSIDER_EPSG_AS_URN and INVERT_AXIS_ORDER_IF_LAT_LONG. When SWAP_COORDINATES is set to YES, coordinates will be always swapped regarding the order they appear in the GML, and when it set to NO, they will be kept in the same order. The default is AUTO.>>
Best regards,
Iurie Maxim
Hi Stefania and all,
As far as we know, Deegree accept CRS declared as URN (i.e.: urn:ogc:def:crs:EPSG::3035) while OGC and INSPIRE is requiring CRS to be declared as URL. I am not sure if this is due to an older version of GDAL or not, bust most probably is linked with the issue pointed by Ilkka Rhine, threfore maybe it is possible to configure GDAL as I explained in the previous post, We did not insisted to work with Deegree for implementing INSPIRE as I explained here.
We identified in the past these three endpoints that are providing the CRS information within a GML Registry. Different software are using one of these endpoints, I think that usually the second or the third. The first two are providing the CRS encoded as GML 3.2, while the third is missing the declaration of the version of the GML encoding:
1. In epsg-registry.org URI are encoded as URN:
<gml:identifier codeSpace="OGP">urn:ogc:def:crs:EPSG::3035</gml:identifier>
CRS is provided as a URN encoded in the value of the gml:identifier element, within the "OGP" codeSpace.
2. In opengis.net URI are encoded as URL:
<gml:identifier codeSpace="OGP">http://www.opengis.net/def/crs/EPSG/0/3035</gml:identifier>
CRS is provided as a URL encoded in the value of the gml:identifier element, within the "OGP" codeSpace.
3. In spatialreference.org URI are encoded as URN codeSpace + value:
<gml:name gml:codeSpace="urn:ogc:def:crs:EPSG::">3035</gml:name>
CRS is provided as a NUMBER encoded in the value of the gml:name element, within the "urn:ogc:def:crs:EPSG::" codeSpace.
In the opengis.net the xlinks are even further remote resolved.
All the xlinks listed below are remote resolved by using the epsg-registry.org GML Registry:
<gml:domainOfValidity xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xlink:href="urn:ogc:def:area:EPSG::1298"/>
<gml:conversion xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xlink:href="urn:ogc:def:coordinateOperation:EPSG::19986"/>
<gml:baseGeodeticCRS xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xlink:href="urn:ogc:def:crs:EPSG::4258"/>
<gml:cartesianCS xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xlink:href="urn:ogc:def:cs:EPSG::4532"/>
The fact that the xlinks are remote resolved can be verified by making the following requests:
The resolve has a resolveDepth > 1 because the URNs are further resolved.
This is a very good example (for the EC INSPIRE Registry) on how a registry must function in order to ensure that the xlinks are resolved in the GML.
Any of the xlinks to epsg-registry.org can be transformed automaticaly in xlinks that are pointing to opengis.net and viceversa:
first part = "http://www.epsg-registry.org/export.htm?gml=urn:ogc" = "http://www.opengis.net/"
any ":" after the first part = "/"
In this way:
http://www.epsg-registry.org/export.htm?gml=urn:ogc:def:crs:EPSG::3035 = http://www.opengis.net/def/crs/EPSG/0/3035
http://www.epsg-registry.org/export.htm?gml=urn:ogc:def:coordinateOperation:EPSG::19986 = http://www.opengis.net/def/coordinateOperation/EPSG/0/19986
and so on.
URI = Unioform Resource Identifier (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uniform_Resource_Identifier)
URL = Uniform Resource Locator (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uniform_Resource_Locator)
URN = Uniform Resource Name (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uniform_Resource_Name)
EPSG = European Petroleum Survey Group absorbed by IOGP (See OGP)
OGP = Oil and Gas Producers (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Association_of_Oil_%26_Gas_Producers#European_Petroleum_Survey_Group)

Just to notice that GDAL 2.1.2. was released Friday 21 November 2016 (two days ago).
See http://download.osgeo.org/gdal/
Hi all,
I checked the ENVPlus validator including skipping and not skipping Schematron Test and the OGC GML Validator and the following forms for providing srsName are validated in the GML files:
If any other form is provided (i.e.:EPSG::3035, EPSG:3035) the error message is indicating the OGC 09-048r3 document (31/3/2010), that can be found at https://portal.opengeospatial.org/files/?artifact_id=37802
According to Annex A (informative) of OGC 09-048r3:
<<When using an XML attribute or element with the type anyURI to reference a CRS, CRSrelated, or other object, that URI shall have a value which uses one of two alternative URI formats:
a) Universal Resource Locator (URL), with standard form. The URL format should be used whenever the referenced definition is known to be electronically available using this standard URL.
b) Universal Resource Name (URN), with a specified form. The URN format shall be used whenever the referenced definition is not, or might not be, available using a URL. This URN shall reference data that is specified by some ―authority‖ and is ―well-known‖ to both client and server software, including multiple clients and multiple servers.>>
It should be mentioned as well the OGC 11-135 that "establishes a Name Type Specification (NTS) for Coordinate Reference Systems (CRSs), beeing based on the Name Type Specification – definitions – part 1 – basic name [OGC 09- 048r3] and supersedes OGC document ―Definition identifier URNs in OGC namespace‖ [OGC 07- 092r3]."
I assume then that taking into consideration that for EPSG 3035 it exist a URL, the OGC documents and the INSPIRE DS for CRS must be interpreted in the way that providing the CRS as srsName="urn:ogc:def:crs:EPSG::3035" in the GML is incorrect.
@Stefania: Should the ENVPlus Validator trigger an error if the CRS of the geometry features in the GML is provided in URN form ?
@All: How should the Requirement 1 and its Note from the TG for CRS be interpreted having in mind the words SHALL and MAY ?
<<The identifiers listed in Table 1 shall be used for referring to the coordinate reference systems used in a data set.
NOTE CRS identifiers may be used e.g. in:
- data encoding,
- data set and service metadata, and
- requests to INSPIRE network services.>>
Table 1 is listing CRSs provided as URL, such as http://www.opengis.net/def/crs/EPSG/0/3035
In INSPIRE Documents is written:
<<In accordance with the ISO rules for drafting, the following verbal forms shall be interpreted in the given way:
Shall we read the Note of the Requirement 1 as follows?
CRS identifiers listed in table 1 (as URLs) shall be used in :
- spatial datasets and data series provided trough data services
- metadata of the spatial datasets, spatial data series and spatial data services and in GetCapabilities documents
- requests to INSPIRE network services.
Having in mind the network services, it should be taken into consideration that WFS 2.0.0 standard (See document at page 49) has the following requirement:
<<Servers that implement this International Standard shall be able to process srsName attribute values using the following format model: urn:ogc:def:objectType:authority:version: (see OGC 07-092r2) In this format model, objectType shall have the value of "crs", authority shall have the value "crs" and the value is a placeholder for the actual EPSG code value. EXAMPLE srsName="urn:ogc:def:crs:EPSG::26986". >>
This was changed in WFS version 2.0.2, so in order to comply MS must implement WFS 2.0.2 and not WFS 2.0.0.
In WFS 2.0.2 standard is mentioned:
Servers that implement this International Standard shall be able to process srsName attribute values using the following format model:
urn:ogc:def:objectType:authority:version:<EPSG code> (see OGC 07-092r2)
In this format model,

@All: Should it be interpreted that WFS 2.0.2 (10/07/2014) must be implemented instead of WFS 2.0.0 (02/11/2010) or should be interpreted something else ?

Hi Iurie,
the OGC 09-048r3 specifies that "The URN format shall be used whenever the referenced definition is not, or might not be, available using a URL". Conversely, for cases in which the URL exists (e.g.http://www.opengis.net/def/crs/EPSG/0/3035), the OGC requires that "the URI shall have a value which uses one of two alternative URI formats: URL or URN". The URL format should be preferred ("The URL format should be used whenever the referenced definition is known to be electronically available using this standard URL").
Regarding the INSPIRE Data Specifications, the difference between IR requirement (i.e. must be implemented) and TG Requirement (i.e. must be implemented to conform to the TG specific technical solution) has to be considered.
In all the INSPIRE DS (therefore also in the DS on Coordinate Reference Systems) the use of http URIs is a TG requirement and it's stated that " These Technical Guidelines propose to use the http URIs provided by the Open Geospatial Consortium as coordinate reference system identifiers"
To answer your question, my opinion is that the ENVPlus Validator correctly
Best Regards
Hi Stefania,
I understand your point of view regarding IRs and TGs, but I think that the EnvPlus validator is checking against TGs as well and not only against IRs. Of course we both know that there are some mistakes either in the IRs or either in the TGs and that the EnvPlus validator is allowing both interpretations
But as far as the ENVPlus is validating against a schema it means that it validates against the TGs. I do not remember where in the IRs is written that a certain XSD must be used, or that even where in the IRs is written that GML 3.2 must be used for encoding spatial data. But if the GML is not 3.2 version or is not validating against a XSD version 3 or 4, the validator throws an error, which is totaly understandable.
Therefore I do not understand why some TGs requirements are implemented in the EnvPlus validator and some others are should not be implemented, or maybe I am missing something.
Namely if many requirements from TGs are implemnted in the validator (i.e.: Requirement 4 and 5 from D2.7) why the TG Requirement 1 from DS on CRS should not be implemented ?
Even if it exist the sentence "These Technical Guidelines propose to use the http URIs provided by the Open Geospatial Consortium as coordinate reference system identifiers" in the TG, it exist as well the Requirement 1:
<<The identifiers listed in Table 1 shall be used for referring to the coordinate reference systems used in a data set.>>
Table 1 is listing CRSs provided as URL, such as http://www.opengis.net/def/crs/EPSG/0/3035
We both already know that ATS are prepared for each Requirement and Recommadation and even the EC Metadata validator is cheking against the TGs, not against the IRs.
To not be wrongly understood, I just pointed an issue/topic for discution in relation to the URN versus URI, becsue personally I expected a data validator to indicate all Requirements and reccomandations that are not fulfiled.
For a better understanding, the EnvPlus is a very useful tool for to alow MSs to make "valid" datasets. Without EnVPlus we were not able to make a "valid" dataset, but just a dataset.
Therefore we wrote about any issue that we found in the validator and we indicated even what is missing (i.e.: no validation of codeliists xlinks) to be helpful for other data providers to create valid datasets.
Best regards,
Iurie Maxim
Hi Iurie,
I fully agree with you that a validator, providing an executable test suite , 'de facto' selects a technical solution for implementing the IRs and validates against it, and this technical solution should be (I would like I can write 'shall 'be) the one proposed in the TG.
This is a very important aspect to take into consideration when implementing INSPIRE (so thank you for pointing out): technical choices affect the true interoperability/usability of datasets and therefore there's the need to conform to the Technical Guidelines as a whole.
That said, it must be acknowledged that technical choices do not always correspond to mature technical software solutions and this is a thing that must be taken into account as well.
For those cases, I think that it can be of help for the INSPIRE implementers that a validator (which provides executable tests for the ATS) takes into consideration the difference between Part 1 (normative- Conformity with Commission Regulation No 1089/2010) and Part 2 (informative - Conformity with the technical guideline (TG) Requirements ) of the ATS
considers that that "TG requirements are technical provisions that need to be fulfilled in order to be conformant with the corresponding IR requirement when the specific technical implementation proposed in this document [the TG] is used ", and therefore conformity to the TG requirements included into ATS-Part 2 (such as the 'CRS http URI test') is not formally required to be conformant to ISDSS Regulation.
Maybe just reporting the following will clarify my thought better.
The first release of the eENVplus validator allowed only the URL encoding for Coordinate Reference Systems. Feedbacks we had from the users – not able to display their TG conformant datasets correctly in QGIS or not able to ingest their GML in deegree because of the http encoding in srsName attribute- made us apply the consideration that forcing the users to have 'fully TG conformant but unusable dataset' would maybe not be worth the candle. And that's why currently the eENVplus validator allows the use of both URLs and URNs for CRS specification.
Best Regards
Hi Stefanie,
1. Really appreciate your last post. Therefore we can conclude that REQ 1 from CRS Data specification was removed from the validation because of the missing technical solutions to display correctly valid datasets. As from 21 October GDAL resolved this issue it is possible to re-include this requirement in the near future ?
2. Should we indicate as well to the JRC that REQ 1 is confusing as it is using the words shall and may, where
<<The identifiers listed in Table 1 shall be used for referring to the coordinate reference systems used in a data set.
NOTE CRS identifiers may be used e.g. in:
- data encoding,
- data set and service metadata, and
- requests to INSPIRE network services.>>
Probably "CRS identifiers are used e.g. in" can be used instead of the formulation with "may be".
3. Should we conclude that actually the data providers must implement WFS 2.0.2 that is the WFS 2.0 standard with corrigendum (one of the most important corrigendum being exactly the change of CRS from URI to URL) See http://docs.opengeospatial.org/is/09-025r2/09-025r2.html
Best regards,
Iurie Maxim
Hi Iurie,
start answering from last question: "Should data providers implement WFS 2.0.2? "
WFS 2.0 requires an ability to process srsName values provided as OGC URNs, while does not foresee any obligation to be able to process srsName values provided as OGC URLs. Conversely the WFS 2.0.2 has such an obligation (note: in WFS 2.0.2 URN encoding is still allowed but is deprecated).
Since conformity to TG requirement for CRS identifiers implies the use of URLs, the data providers should implement WFS 2.0.2 .
However, a problem still has to be faced: how could data providers test conformance to WFS 2.0.2 ?
I do not know about the existence of a relevant test, at least an official OGC CITE Test Suite is not yet available. So it seems to me that, again, we must still wait for mature technical software solutions.
To come to other questions in your post:
1) next release of the eENVplus Validation Service will report non-conformities to TG requirement for CRS identifiers (i.e. re-include the 'CRS http URI test').
2) I agree with you that rephrasing the NOTE according to your suggestion would better clarify the intention of the note itself i.e. to provide examples of where CRS identifiers are typically used. Anyway I think that the use of "may" in the NOTE could not properly be considered an issue for the comprehension of requirement itself.
Best Regards

Earning Cash with hobbies like writing Art, and fitness are not in the cards. You put together a professional course to teach people all about it, unless of course. This Teachable review summarizes one of the very impressive choices for presenting your courses for developing a website that is gorgeous, from classes to PDF training. Sell Online Courses Plugin For Woocommerce
We have taken a look Teachable's main Competitions: Uscreen and Udemy. The two of those mentioned have their pros and cons, but it's time to summarize Teachable, another intriguing company. Teachable has analytics , fantastic customization tools, marketing options and site interfaces.
Teachable's online class production module provides Security and hosting , along with the learning tools you require, from quizzes to talk forums and blogs. So read on to have a look at our comprehensive Teachable review and see whether it's the ideal online class builder for you.

What is Teachable?
For those who are familiar with this stage, Teachable is an online class platform or Learning Management System (LMS). Why do you want these? Since they simplify the course development and launch process worry about the engineering and design aspects. Yep, no need to stress over using WordPress and plugins to your classes.
I won't go on and on. I will only say this: there are A few LMS platforms I urge for online entrepreneurs, and Teachable is just one of these. Here's my breakdown:
Which Teachable Features Stand Out?
Having a Look at the present user layouts, it is Evident that Teachable is doing something right in regard to its site builder. Along with this, the pricing appears fairly solid. What are some of the principal features you can look forward to?
Teachable's Drop and Drag Builder
Drag and drop contractors are getting better and Better, and if you examine the user designs from Teachable it's clear they have done a fantastic job in that area. Not every Teachable user has tons of knowledge in web development, and that is kind of the point.
Classes can move around, arrange pricing Packages, drop text and imagery on the homepage, and immediately develop earnings pages (which we will talk about below).
You have The option to upload media and lecture files (such as audio and PDFs) straight from the PC.
What is also interesting is that you can utilize Your existing website to bring the course pages on the market. Or, you can begin a new site with a unique domain name by starting from scratch Teachable. Sell Online Courses Plugin For Woocommerce
Advanced edits
Among the advantages of Teachable is you simply Do not need to be developer or a coder to create and market classes online. It allows you upload your articles to begin with a template, and begin earning money as long as your classes are good.
It makes sense that some individuals and Organizations may want to personalization the Teachable interface further. This would allow you to move around more complex elements like button placement, image size, and the overall branding of your site.
Teachable has something Which gives more advanced users the chance to tap into the code and create those customizations if necessary.
Upload a Variety of Documents
Teachable supports the Vast Majority of documents you Requirement to get a program that is respectable. This includes sound, image, video, text, and PDFs. You can pull your articles from a vast array of sources such as Google Drive or Dropbox, syncing your storage up areas with the web site.
Learning and Community Tools Like Forums, Websites, and Quizzes
The quizzes are there to provide content for Your users. I haven't ever taken a course online where I have not been excited to check my knowledge at the end. Teachable also provides a forum and website for your website, turning it into more of a community than anything. If you nurture this community you are more inclined to get some VIP customers who recommend you to other people.
Finally, some of the Teachable plans supply Course completion certificates. This leads to the feeling of community and provides students a feeling of accomplishment when they complete one of your classes. You can achieve this for every one of your courses or just a few of these. It permits you to customize each of the certifications and add your personal flair to every one.

Sales Pages
Landing pages are usually crucial for selling courses. You design the sales pages, then purchase some ads linking on Facebook and Google to these. Customers are more inclined to buy from sales pages, and you do not confuse people by sending them into the normal homepage.
In Teachable, revenue pages are provided for you. All the templates have been tested to improve your conversions, therefore all you have to do is go in there and customize the template to fit your brand and classes.
What's also cool Is These sales pages (and all Of those pages on your website ) can be converted into a wide variety of languages. In this manner, international customers have the chance to look at your classes and possibly sign up. It is not a guarantee that these people are going to have the ability to understand your videos, but the text-based translations would permit you to open your business to people all over the world.
Responsiveness for Viewing on All Devices
This ties to the design component of Teachable. In summary, Google wants to make sure that your site is observable and user friendly all devices, from desktop computers to smaller tablets and smartphones. Therefore, you need to be certain that the text and media are viewable on these devices without any problems.
Fortunately, your Teachable content snaps into Place dependent on the device detected. Consequently, if your student is watching your lectures on a phone, they could view everything in the ideal dimensions. The exact same can be said for computers and pills.

Student Management
One of the more tricky parts of running an internet Course making sure they take the classes, is handling pupils, and giving them the support they want.
1 Means to Do this is using the student comments module in Teachable. Basically, it allows you to create things like surveys, Google Forms, along with other feedback tools to get information from the students and determine what they dislike or exactly what they'd like to see later on.
Teachable's support integrations help out with Student management as well. You can link to tools such as Zendesk and Olark, remembering past conversations that you have had with certain students and bringing a variety of alternatives for collecting consumer information to you. Sell Online Courses Plugin For Woocommerce
Finally, student list segmentation is provided to improve On your promotion and student-relationships. Simply speaking, the segmentation module includes options for sending out emails based on certain criteria. As an example, you may send a email when a student enrolls in your program out. Or, you might think about using a code redemption for those students who have not bought one of your courses.
Impressive Marketing Characteristics from Teachable
You don't always see advertising features with online Course creation platforms. However, Teachable includes promotions coupons, affiliate programs, email marketing and a lot more.
You can also play around with pricing Choices, with alternatives like payment programs, bundled courses, and subscriptions.
Customer Support
As you may have noticed at the pricing strategy area, Each plan has product support. The higher and skilled Volume Plans offer priority product support, so I am presuming you get bumped to the front of the line when calling the company.
In Terms of the Way of contact, Teachable provides a Live chat on the site alongside a ticketing system for you to submit your questions. But they route you through the knowledge base before you send a message to them.
Teachable also has a Superb site and Weekly live assignments for learning and an internet academy full of classes and tutorials like the ones you're trying to make and sell, Tips!
Overall, Teachable'support alternatives look great. It would be nice to see some phone support, but that doesn't appear to be in the cards right now. Sell Online Courses Plugin For Woocommerce
What I Enjoy
- Teachable is not difficult to utilize – that I will not deny it: Teachable is pretty darn easy to use. Subscribe to create a new course and upload your own content. Done.
- Teachable is focused on assisting you to build your new – Teachable isn't just setup that will assist you produce a course, it motivates you to build a school filled with courses. They want you to be successful and create courses a part of your business model.
- Teachable is made for entrepreneurs – Once you start working with Teachable, you realize that they know their audience very well. They are aware you do require a solution you need assistance with advertising and selling your program. And they have built in features together with your needs.
- Lots of built in advertising and sales tools – Earnings webpages. Promo videos. Plus webinars and articles about how to advertise your program.
- Flexible pricing options – Multi-tier pricing, recurring subscriptions, bundle courses, and coupon/ voucher codes
- Great alternative for free classes – They have a totally free plan. If your courses are free, it won't cost you a dime.
Areas for Improvement
- Can Not Drip Content – This is really a characteristic a great deal of entrepreneurs utilize. It needs to be an alternative.
- Course Builder is Unintuitive – The section of this program builder where you create your content and structure is called a Syllabus. Apart from being a misnomer, the Syllabus is just not intuitive. You have to click around to figure things out. To add content, you click "New Lecture," if you're incorporating a lecture. . .or a quiz, or a discussion–it's all called a lecture. This can be confusing and unintuitive. It could be make more sense to have a dropdown with choices to add actions, quizzes, projects, etc..
- Lack of Focus on Learning Elements – I'd like to find out more than just media, text and quite basic quizzes. For example, office hours or synchronous assignments live,. Or the ability to state. How about course projects or portfolios? These are all attributes which other platforms have.
- Integrations -There aren't enough of them. This is an area they actually must work on, although they have got the basics covered, for sure. Right now, there are only six native integrations. For everything else, they rely upon Zapier. For example, want to integrate the platform with your email service? If you do not utilize Mailchimp, you're out of luck. . .unless Zapier is used by you. I'd specifically like to see integrations with Google and Dropbox Drive.
- Navigation menu – It feels bizarre. A sub-menu overlays the primary navigation menu After you click like Website or Courses. I'd much rather find a tree-style menu or fall down, such as in WordPress.
As you can see, the majority of the areas of progress have to do with studying components . That's my main gripe with Teachable: you receive the bones. You realize that they've put nearly all of the job into marketing 18, after doing some digging.
Among the parts of Teachable is you Don't need to go out to get and cover your own hosting. It's all included in the pricing bundle, which is fine for keeping your website up constantly and fast for users.
However, the best part is that the number of Students and classes encouraged by Teachable. It feels like more often than not I stumble upon comparable services that have maximums for classes and students until more cash is paid by you. That is not true with Teachable–since you can have pupils and courses. Sell Online Courses Plugin For Woocommerce
In Terms of the pricing, here is what Teachable offers:
Basic — $29 a month for all base attributes, 5 percent transaction fees, immediate payouts, two admin users, product service, course founder training, custom domain support, coupon codes, drip class content, incorporated affiliate advertising, integrated email promotion, and third party integrations.
Professional — $79 a month to get everything in the fundamental program, immediate payouts, five admin users, priority product service, rated quizzes, advanced theme customization, advanced reports, Teachable branding eliminated, and course completion certificates.
Business — $399 a month for everything from the previous two plans, no transaction fees, immediate payouts, 100 admin users, priority product service, manual pupil importing, bulk pupil enrollments, customized user roles.
The reason I enjoy this pricing plan set up Is because it lets you test your courses out with the Basic Plan. You still receive 95 percent of whatever comes in to the classes, although the 5% transaction fees aren't ideal.
Recently, instant payouts have been added to all of Without needing to await a few weeks or a month, the plans you get your money upfront.
Basic characteristics
We said that all base attributes are contained in The Basic plan, so it makes sense to outline what some of those attributes are:
No fees when you give away classes at no cost.
Fundamental quizzes to test your students.
Discussion forums for building a community around your courses on Teachable.
Student management applications.
A integrated payment processing system to gather all payments safely.
Teachable provides nlimited hosting, students, classes, and movie. Sell Online Courses Plugin For Woocommerce
A few closing notes pricing:
During my Teachable review, I discovered that Teachable doesn't charge any setup fees or cancellation charges. This usually means that the one thing you have to pay for is transaction fees that are whatever and the plan you might be incurring. You should also keep in mind that there are going to additional transaction fees for payment processing, which all depends on which option you go with.
A trial is not, but you can configure an Account and play with all the Teachable backend for as long as you want. In my mind, this is far better than a trial, as it lets you construct your course site and understand how prior to launch it's going to function. Teachable then starts charging your credit card as soon as you start the website.
The pricing plans are predicated On payments. You must cover a year in advance to get that special pricing. Paying monthly for Teachable means that your monthly pricing increases. If you don't pay for a year beforehand, As an example, the Basic plan goes around $39 a month.
Who Should Consider Teachable as a Way to Make Money Online?
Teachable is Fantastic for YouTubers, bloggers, Publishers, market experts, writers, and much more. My Teachable review revealed that as long as you have some sort of ability you can sell courses teaching that ability on Teachable.
You can try out Teachable without Punching so that is cool. There's no reason until you've got any of your courses to pay for a plan.
Once you create a course, the sky's the limit. I'd Recommend trying to get out of Teachable's Basic Plan as it's possible to benefit from the zero payment.
Any type of class can go on Teachable. For Instance, Teachable supports everything to designers from YouTubers to artists and writers. Sell Online Courses Plugin For Woocommerce

God, I hope my Internet situation's resolved tomorrow. It most likely will be, but for the time being running off a hot spot on a cellphone is way too much of a hassle for my tastes.
So, first page with Manga Studio! Pretty happy with the switch, think it's a good page for it and we get some nice visuals. I was still trying to kind of get the hang of it so this page took me a little longer than most in MS have and I didn't iron things out as much as I've been doing in the pages I've colored recently, but I still think it's an improvement.
Just had to fix something in Paint on this page, funny enough - Misty's line about how many people are present was coming from Sareena. Good thing I checked the page before I posted it, that probably would've been confusing otherwise.
In kind of a hurry here, so I'll leave it at that for now, but I am happy with this page. We'll be meeting Day within the next few pages.
Oh, also, this is only really relevant to those of you reading on Comic Fury but I've been wanting to for awhile now change the background image on the comments. Should I go back to being a solid color with it, or just go with something else? And if so, stick with Hearst or make it our leads? Curious to hear some thoughts on the matter.
In the script for this page, the first panel had it written as "Misty tying up one of the workers." When I asked Martin about that, he explained he meant it as in to stall her. I was pretty disappointed since I really thought she was gonna be literally tying her up with like duct-tape or something. Would've been adorable.
Sareena's cuteness is certainly pretty enhanced in this art style, almost a shame it won't be around much longer. I totally wish we got a shot of her being tickled or something.
Not much else to say, though. Do like the info on Misty's powers and how they make her feel. I'm guessing she's developed an immunity to stage fright.
So Misty lived in New York before her family moved to Atlanta, interesting little fun fact there, and Martin if you do change the background image on the comments, my suggestion is something that's easier to see, it's hard to make out any real detail on the current one.
Gotcha, thanks for the input. Idea was to try and make it subtle so the text didn't clash too hard against it but still, it probably could use some refinement. I'll probably play around with that later.

It's common to work with or for someone who occasionally dispenses good advice on how to handle complex interpersonal situations, but is pretty unlikely to take their own advice. Whether it is how to talk a customer down from a bad experience, how to deliver straightforward feedback to an employee or how to negotiate collaboratively for project resources, after a while, all you're reminded of concerning this person's leadership is "do as I say, not as I do."

Christy and I just got back. We did not stay for the speechifying. Steve Croy, I met your better half and missed seeing you. You were lost in the crowd.
Anyway, Fred and Jeri are simply two of the nicest people I know. Jeri, in particular, is awesome. I've been to a number of these things before and this one really impressed me by not just the number of people, but the number of prominent people in the room. I won't mention names lest I mention someone who is not yet on board publicly, but was there (exception being host couples).
I expect a lot of money flowed through. The general sense from the people I talked to was that they had all, to a person, flirted with every other candidate — some having been wooed and some having been pressured to support other candidates — and came up wanting. They've found what they wanted in Fred Thompson.
It's very funny. When Fred got started there were a lot of people looking at him solely because he was not one of the other guys. Now that people are actually looking at him, at least in this crowd, they really, really like what they see. Fred has a commanding presence in the room and was taller than most everyone else.
We'll be doing a podcast tomorrow. I'll link to it.
Oh, and on a final note, I finally met David Shafer in person. We've known each other in email for several years and it was great to finally meet him in person. And my Lord in Heaven has Trey Staton grown up. I do believe he is taller than Senator Staton now. Yes, I did show off my iPhone too.
