When we are honest, we willingly admit that we would rather not have to go through death in order to experience resurrection. But without death, we can't ever truly appreciate resurrection. We can't know how radical it is. We can't really understand how transformative it is. It just becomes a nice idea that sounds great. Move it from just a head knowledge to what we experience in our lives. Amen.

While past efforts to restore tumor suppressor function in cancer cells have focused on gene therapy, Dowdy and colleagues introduced modified p53 peptides (parts of the protein) into cancer cells. p53 works as a "transcriptional" activator that binds to specific gene sequences and triggers apoptosis in response to DNA damage. One region of the p53 protein, the C-terminal domain, facilitates DNA binding. In cancer cells, synthesized peptides (called p53C) derived from this region can induce apoptosis by restoring function to p53 proteins with DNA-binding mutations.
To get p53C peptides into cancer cells, the scientists used a technique pioneered by Dowdy that delivers proteins into the cell interior. Since the cell membrane normally limits passage to only small molecules (larger molecules generally enter through surface receptors), this is no small feat. Testing the effectiveness of the peptide therapy on mouse strains that model human metastatic disease, the scientists found that mice treated with the p53C peptide showed a significant reduction in tumor mass and lived six times longer than mi

MDC leader Nelson Chamisa chickened out of his planned Kwekwe rally yesterday, saying he will abide by the Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP)'s decision to prohibit the gathering in a bid to contain the spread of typhoid in the Midlands Province.
Chamisa had notified the ZRP about the rally as is required by the law, but the police could not give him the go-ahead citing the recent outbreak of typhoid in Gweru, about 67 kilometres from Kwekwe.
As of August 8, at least 10 people had died of typhoid in Gweru since the start of the outbreak the previous month.
About 400 cases had been treated at the time.
The MDC leader had vowed to go ahead with his first rally since he narrowly lost the July 30 plebiscite to President Emmerson Mnangagwa of Zanu PF, accusing the police of double standards.
But in a dramatic U-turn, the MDC has had a change of heart and has now rescheduled the rally to next week.
"The police cited the outbreak of typhoid so we have cancelled the Kwekwe rally and we will hold another one next week at a different venue although we are aware that it was a deliberate strategy to stop us from exercising our constitutional right of assembly," said the MDC's deputy national chairperson, Morgen Komichi.
The rallies, to be held throughout the country, are meant afford Chamisa an opportunity to consult his supporters on the way forward in the wake of the July 30 disputed elections, which he says were rigged in Mnangagwa's favour.
The rallies are also meant to thank his supports for voting for him.
Ironically, Mnangagwa is also planning to go around the country to thank his supporters.
Meanwhile, Chamisa has warned newly-elected MDC Members of Parliament and councillors against engaging in corruption, saying those found wanting would be "ruthlessly" dealt with.
"To all our MPs and councillors, I urge you to perform at the highest level of excellence," Chamisa said in his message to the MDC structures and elected officials soon after the party's national council meeting last week.
"Resist and shun corruption and arrogance. We will deal ruthlessly with the corrupt and lazy ones. Have a schedule of events for engaging communities, your constituencies and wards frequently and with regularity.
"Avoid being missing persons (MPs).Please meet the voters and thank them. Let us also start meaningful livelihoods and upliftment projects in your constituencies to impact and improve people's lives," Chamisa emphasised.
The MDC has been blamed for running down local authorities especially urban councils they have dominion over.
In 2008, the late MDC founding president Morgan Tsvangirai was forced to sack the entire Chitungwiza council for corruption involving illegal parcelling out of residential stands for themselves at a time when service delivery in the dormitory town had hit its lowest ebb.
The party has also been criticised for not actively pushing for electoral reforms only to demand them towards elections.
Chamisa said he was happy that the party widened its support base as evidenced by the fact that its MPs in Parliament increased from 41 in 2013 to 88 (inclusive of 24 women proportional representatives).
The party controls over 26 urban councils out of 32, representing 81 percent.
It won 536 council seats.
"Our presidential election campaign was massive and won the popular vote. We won this election and won it resoundingly with 2,6 million people voting for us. Even on Zec's announced totals, this is the best tally our party has ever produced. It is also a significant increase with about a million votes from our previous best tally even by Zec's own figures," he said.
He admitted that the party fell short in terms of choosing candidates for both the national assembly and local government elections.
"Despite some challenges that arose during the nominations where in some areas we had more than one candidate, we tried our best to resolve others but we must certainly improve on our internal democracy and electoral processes, now and in the future," he said.

Every ten seconds a human being dies because of alcohol. Big alcohol claims they promote "responsible" consumption, while its "...use causes cancer – and is therefore not healthy. There is no "safe" amount of alcohol use." Spending billions to buy out the media and cover up their role in violence, disease, and other problems, while taking advantage of everyday people. "The alcohol industry makes a concerted and conscious effort to associate consumption of alcohol with sport and health, luck, propsperity, tradition, and good manners – all to perpetuate the myth that alcohol is normal, common and healthy." In reality: "Alcohol use is related to unemployment, loss of productivity, violence, suicide, child abuse, diseases and addiction, and poverty."

Panoro Energye announced an 89% increase in 2P oil reserves at the Dussafu Production Sharing Contract (Dussafu PSC), offshore Gabon.
A mid-year update report from independent reserves auditor Netherland, Sewell & Associates Inc. (NSAI) on certain fields located within the Dussafu PSC revealed 2P gross reserves have increased by 31.2 MMbbls, compared to those reported at year-end 2018.
John Hamilton, Chief Executive Officer of Panoro, said, "We are very encouraged by the continued upward revision of reserve estimates and will continue to progress the development potential at Dussafu."
NSAI has revised estimates for Tortue reserves based on production to date and provided new estimates for reserves at the Ruche and Ruche NE fields. NSAI has calculated the following estimates for the total gross economically recoverable oil reserves as at June 30, 2019, derived from the assumed production from six oil wells at the Tortue field and six oil wells at the Ruche and Ruche NE fields:
The increase in reserves is firstly due to an increase in the 2P gross remaining reserves at Tortue by 5.8 million barrels, approximately 16% higher compared to year end 2018 and secondly the addition of new 2P gross reserves at Ruche and Ruche NE amounting to 25.4 million barrels.
The Dussafu Marin Permit is a Development and Exploitation license with multiple discoveries and prospects lying within a proven oil and gas play fairway within the Southern Gabon Basin. To the north west of the block is the Etame-Ebouri Trend, a collection of fields producing from the pre-salt Gamba and Dentale sandstones, and to the north are the Lucina and M'Bya fields which produce from the syn-rift Lucina sandstones beneath the Gamba.
Dussafu is operated by BW Energy Gabon and Panoro's current interest in the license is 8.33%. There are five oil fields within the Dussafu Permit: Moubenga, Walt Whitman, Ruche, Ruche North East and Tortue. The latter three fields were discovered by Panoro and JV partners in the last seven years.
The development of the Dussafu fields now is underway, with production from two wells at the Tortue field having started in September 2018. Oil is produced from the Gamba and Dentale reservoirs at Tortue into a leased floating, production, storage and offloading (FPSO) vessel Adolo via subsea trees and flowlines. Production is currently in the middle of the range of 10,000 to 15,000 barrels of oil per day. Phase 2 development activities are planned for 2019 and 2020 with up to four additional development wells to be drilled at the Tortue field.
Interpretation of recent 3D seismic data has confirmed several large Dentale prospects and numerous Gamba prospects in addition to the already discovered resources. Certain of these prospects will be targeted in the planned 2019-2020 drilling campaign.

Introduction Thinkific Ceo Greg Smith
If You're currently selling Or considering selling online courses, you don't have to do much hunting to think of a Thinkific review. There are loads of Thinkific reviews on the market. The main difference this one offers is that it is written by someone with: Thinkific Ceo Greg Smith
- Over 20 years experience in the e-learning industry, with a Particular focus on businesses that sell education (as opposed to, for example, corporate training departments, that do not have to convince their students to purchase )
- Extensive experience designing, creating, and implementing online class platforms (I had been the founder and CEO of an e-learning platform and path development company.)
- More than a decade of experience monitoring and exploring online course platforms and assisting individuals and organizations pick the Ideal platform for selling classes
I have been closely Monitoring Thinkific and other providers that have emerged as a new class of online course platforms. These are programs that are less expensive and much more user friendly or LMSes. They're companies that want to enter the course business and a true blessing for solo edupreneurs. Over time, I believe they also have potential to disrupt the learning management system market that is traditional.
So, having said All that, let's begin.
Click here to sign Up to Thinkific.
Building and Branding Your Online Course Web Site
Any courses you Sell have to"live" somewhere, and that somewhere supplies an appealing, user friendly for the students and prospective students. Since the introduction of its Site Builder capacities this season, Thinkific is up to the project. Thinkific Ceo Greg Smith
Using Site Builder — that is simply part of the admin board to the platform — you now have the ability to set up an appealing home page to your course site and make as many custom pages as you desire (e.g., to provide details about you and your other services). While you do not have total control — you can't, for example, set up your own style sheets (CSS) — you do get really good capabilities for changing branding elements like colors and font styles and you may upload pretty much any kind of images or media you would want to utilize.
Website Builder Currently comes with three topics and there are variants for each of those topics. (The company says more topics are part of the upcoming growth plan.) Additionally, there are a selection of pre-fab"segments" you can insert and change on any webpage to provide for matters like social evidence (e.g. customer quotations or"as seen on" logos), calls to action, count down timer, and pricing choices — essentially, all of the critical tools you require for running a successful path or membership website. There is also a blank slate"media & Text" section that may be used to create pretty much whatever you want.
As is the case With more or less any content management system, it took a while to figure out the way to do some basic things like delete sections (the themes offer a house page pre-populated with sections) and add custom pages to the website menu. But support has been readily available for them. Thinkific includes a solid support website on which you can search for aid, but I often just use a Google search together with the word"Thinkific" to find whatever I need (e.g.,"create custom website pages Thinkific"). I've yet to not find decent support using this method, whether on the Thinkific site or from a different user.
Some additional Features to notice:
- Custom URL (under Settings > Website ) — By default, you're assigned a thinkific.com speech — e.g., learningrvolution.thinkific.com. With a paid program (starting at $49 per month for Basic) you can get a customized URL
- SSL (Under Settings > Website ) — With any strategy you have the option to turn on SSL (secure socket layer), a best practice for virtually any Web site nowadays. (Google smiles on this)
- White tagging (below Settings > Website )– By leaping up to a Guru Plan ($99 a month) with the Growth Add-on ($.10 per active student/per month) you can easily remove the"Powered by Thinkific" language on your site and courses.
- Text Dimensions (below Settings > Learning Content and various other areas) — You can change a lot of the default language that is used in navigation and other areas. For example, Thinkific uses"Chapters" because the label for parts of a course. You might like to change this to"Lessons" Thinkific Ceo Greg Smith
Thus, you may be asking,"Can I use Thinkific for my primary Web site?"
For edupreneurs That are only starting off and do not already have a Web presence the answer is an emphatic"yes." Utilizing Thinkific is a good way to have a big item off of your"to do" list (i.e.,"figure out how to find a decent Web site setup") and focus on creating and launch your courses. It is possible to worry about a more sophisticated Web site after.
If you already Have an Internet site, however — especially on a fuller-featured content management system like WordPress — I would not suggest relying on Thinkific (or some other course platform) to your main Web website. Site Builder is fantastic for what it does — and can create a great course site to complement your primary Web site — but finally it's relatively restricted. A few of the key present constraints include:
- All themes are single column. Therefore, as an instance, you can not put e-mail sign-up types, promotions for course, or other items down the left or right side of your website.
- As mentioned, you can't use your own CSS (cascading style sheets), mostly a limitation in the event that you truly want to reflect the branding of an present Web website.
- There is absolutely no control on search engine optimization settings on Internet pages — e.g., you can not define the name tags or meta tag descriptions. You , however, do this on course landing pages, which is arguably more significant for the average edupreneur.
- Thinkific lacks the abundance of plug-ins along with the broad network of seasoned contractors that are available to support platforms like WordPress.
Regardless of those Limitations, Website Builder is likely to do the job well for most edupreneurs and is quite a little better than what many online course platforms provide.
Creating Online Courses with Thinkific
While you Definitely need to have an attractive, user-friendly site to house your classes, the classes themselves are the main attraction. As you might expect, this is an area where Thinkific really shines.
To Begin with, the Platform provides a range of pre-configured templates that can be quite useful to track builders searching for assistance with how to organize their content. The templates cover the range of standard scenarios you would be likely to consider for offering an educational product. All these are:
- Blank — Start fresh and construct your own course to match your particular curriculum requirements.
- Mini-course — Use a free or low-cost mini-course to create leads for a complete flagship course or assistance.
- Flagship Course — Construct a complete online class employing a strong curriculum outline made with best practices in your mind.
- Pre-sell — Create a pre-sell landing page and get started building a waitlist to gauge interest on your course.
- Digital Download — Host downloadable files in an online course to generate earnings or collect email addresses.
- Membership Resource Library — Host downloadable tools to be included in a membership bundle for this template.
- Webinar Replay — Host your webinar replay video to permit registrants to review your presentation and offer.
All of these can Be modified broadly — you can alter the content in the sections that are supplied, delete segments, or insert new segments to arrive at the strategy that is right for your content. All throughout the procedure, Thinkific provides"smart mentor course construction tips" to help you. (I found these helpful, but they can be easily switched off, should you would like.) Thinkific Ceo Greg Smith
In Case You Have zero Experience working with Web content, there will inevitably be a small learning curve, but my view is that Thinkific has done a good job making that curve as manageable as possible. Invest in earning your it up, and you will reap the benefits.
And You're Already comfortable with other Internet content programs — like, for a different course platform, WordPress or instance — I believe that you will find working in Thinkific for a breeze.
Overall, the logic A class in Thinkific makes sense from my perspective. After choosing"New Course," picking your path type, naming it (which you can change at any point), and saving it, you include"Chapters" (or change ones in the template) to create the structure of the program. As noted above, if you do not like the expression"Chapters," you can change it to anything you would like.
You fill the Chapters with content in a way similar to the way I described using Site Builder above. There are 11 choices:
- Video classes — Upload a file. (This has stored in a movie library for re-use in other courses. Videos stored in this library are protected from access by anyone who is not a registered user of your site.)
- Quiz lessons — Create a quiz for the students. (More info on quizzes under )
- Multimedia classes — This is a way to link out to content not hosted on Thinkific and also make it an integrated part of your course. Some of the possibilities include:
- Webinar tools (provide the URL to some live Zoom session, by Way of Example )
- Surveys (e.g. Typeform)
- Appointment booking tools (e.g. Calendly)
- Presentations (e.g. Prezi)
- Google Docs
- Articulate Storyline and Adobe Captivate documents (Requires Pro or Enterprise license. More about that below)
- Text classes — Combine text, pictures, videos, etc. into one lesson. This is basically the equivalent to"Text and Media" Site Builder option mentioned previously.
- Survey lessons — Collect by building a poll in Thinkific.
- PDF lessons — Upload a PDF file to be looked at within the program player.
- Disqus classes Disqus discussion boards to your program. (Note: there's also a discussion option built into Thinkific which you may turn off or on beneath Support Your Students > Discussions.)
- Audio lessons — Upload a sound file.
- Downloads resources available for downloading from inside the course player.
- Presentation lessons — Upload a presentation as a PDF document and record sound for each slide.
- Lessons — Contain a Brillium examination on your program. (A Brillium license is distinct from Thinkific and begins at $49 a month. More on this below.)
The aforementioned options Will find the work completed for all but the edupreneurs. The primary areas they fall short is in
- Supplying for branching scenarios — i.e., allowing learners to move down different paths depending on their performances in the course or data you gather about them and
- Like studying games inserting interactive components.
If those are Choices you genuinely need, you'd be better off using a full-blown course authoring tool like iSpring or even Articulate Storyline (see more about these kinds of tools here). Thinkific Ceo Greg Smith
The use of Articulate and Captivate at Thinkific
Many course Founders will be content with using the resources in Thinkific to make classes, but some may prefer the option of creating their courses with third-party e-learning class creation software like Articulate Storyline or Adobe Captivate.
Basically, using a Third-party tool is an alternative to seriously think about if you (a) already have a substantial number of classes built out in these tools (in which you probably do not need to have to re-create them using Thinkific course production tools), or (b) you anticipate developing a significant catalog of courses with a comparatively long"shelf life" — in which case you may not wish to have your classes locked into a particular shipping stage.
You can use these Kinds of tools with Thinkific — Articulate Storyline and Captivate are encouraged — however there are a few limitations you should be aware of if you go this path.
First, Thinkific (like all other platforms in its own course ) has not implemented SCORM, which stands to the Shareable Content Object Reference Model. There is a whole lot to SCORM, but the principal thing for edupreneurs to understand is that it provides criteria for how an internet course can communicate using a learning platform to deliver it data like how long a student has invested in a course, or if particular areas of the course have been completed successfully. Thinkific tracks this type of information using its own methods. (More about SCORM here.)
You cannot Import an Captivate or Articulate route into Thinkific on your own. These classes comprise of over a single file (such as, as an instance, a video file), so to get them into the platform, you need to zip the files up and send them to Thinkific customer service.
The Features and How They Benefit You
An excellent Online course building platform typically offers you. This includes the marketing, the course construction, the promotion, and also the management.
Systems such as Thinkific don't host classes . Your articles is actually hosted with Thinkific (so that you do not need to venture outside and find your own hosting,) but it gives you total control over what your site looks like.
When compared to Systems such as Udemy, Thinkific certainly provides control and more liberty. Let us explore a few of the other standout features.
Click here to register Up to Thinkific.
Excellent Student Management and Communication Modules
Within my Thinkific review, I noticed that the smoothness of the student communication tools. It is a visual pupil management area, together with pictures of your students, names, contact information, and details for how far they are on your course.
You've got the Choice create a conversation with the entire community or to send emails that are customized to every one of those pupils. Thinkific Ceo Greg Smith
Incentives are A part of this learning environment because Thinkific offers conclusion certificates, report cards, and of course, the mails for sending out just about anything you want throughout classes.
Along with Unlimited replays of speech controls, course material, students, and cellular optimization working with the Thinkific platform ought to feel right at home.

Section of the Motive Thinkific seems so great in contrast to the competition is that of its class designer. You don't need to mess with any code if you don't need to.
In Reality Your content is organized with an easy drag and drop editor, where you stack the class content and move it around vertically.
Speaking of Content, Thinkific supports uploads of almost all media forms. From PDFs to audio files, and polls to quizzes, the platform is fantastic for offering up a vast assortment of learning resources for your students.
As we mentioned Before, every one of these documents are hosted on the Thinkific servers. You shouldn't have to worry much about a file running slowly in your shared servers or being too large.
When you personalize Your course website it offers some editing tools to the novices out there. You can correct items such as colour schemes, banners, and logos, without touching any code.
The further, however Advanced programmers have full control over the HTML and CSS. Consequently, if you would like to make your site unique, the option is there for you.
Promotions on Autopilot
Some online course Platforms fail from the promotions arena. Since there's no way to begin making money unless people know your path 19, this is unfortunate.
Thinkific does It the way, with promotional and marketing tools built into the program. A lot of this is automatic also. So, if you'd like to trickle content to your students Thinkific has this functionality. Thinkific Ceo Greg Smith
Furthermore, you Have the ability and send emails that are automatic based on a program. Pricing is also done through Thinkific, in addition to the choice to get paid immediately when somebody signs up for your course.
In Terms of becoming People beyond your site to come try it out, Thinkific includes an online affiliate marketing program to reward bloggers and men and women who recommend your course. Coupons are also supplied through Thinkific, giving a opportunity to create ads with specials and convince newcomers that your class is worth investing in to you.
Everything from Coupons to affiliates is monitored right in the dashboard, and you can link Facebook, your Adwords, and other social reports to see where students are coming from.
Managing, Engaging, and Supporting Students
Aside from One of the reasons for utilizing a specialized class platform is that it creates managing and tracking your customers and their information a lot simpler.
Communicating with Learners
In addition to Helping you organize your learners, Thinkific also enables a number of ways for them to give comments and for you to communicate with your students. Thinkific Ceo Greg Smith
As noted, For instance, you can enable discussion for your classes and manage your students contributions under Support Your Students Discussions, where it is possible to sort discussions by course, respond to pupils, and — if desired –"Disapprove" gifts that you don't want to show up in the program. (Note: Enabling talks is currently an all or nothing option in Thinkific — i.e., either all classes have it or no classes have it. The workaround for this would be to utilize the Disqus alternative on a course-by-course foundation )
You can also Enable your student. You then have the capability to approve these reviews (they are not printed automatically) and utilize them as social proof on your earnings page for the course. Unlike talks, this feature can be enabled on a course-by-course basis.
There are A number of notifications that could be enabled or disabled at the Thinkific platform, a few of which can be customized. You can send a customized message when your website is registered for by them to students, register in a particular course, or complete a program. It is also possible to send out weekly reminder messages. (Note: Reminders are site-wide, maybe not course-specific.)
Managing and Organizing Learners
To Begin with, When a user signs up at your site, Thinkific captures all of their key contact information (e.g., first name, last name, e-mail) and utilizing custom sign-up fields (under Preferences > Programs & accounts) you can easily add fields to catch whatever special information you desire from your own users. (Notice that, unlike programs like Udemy, you get full access to the user data you accumulate.)
You can also Organize users into classes. This feature may have a big effect on your business model by making it possible for you to sell courses in bulk to associations — one of the greatest ways for internet course vendors to drive revenue growth that is significant , in my experience.
Using groups, you Can also easily arrange your students by cohort, time, registration, job-type, or business, or other variables, making it possible to track the effectiveness of your own offerings and to refine your marketing. (Note: use of the Groups attribute requires a Guru program license with the Growth Add-on.) Find out more about the Thinkific Groups performance Thinkific Ceo Greg Smith
Tracking and Reporting
A key reason to Have a online course platform — to posting content behind a password on a Web site, instead, for example — is it will track things like course progress and conclusion in addition to quiz and survey information.
Thinkific's Advancement tracking (under Support Your Students > Progress) enables you to pick a specific student and track numerous variables for every class in which the pupil is registered. For every class you may see:
- Percentage of Course of Viewed
- Percentage of Course Completed
- Student Name
- Student Email
- Course Completed in (date)
- Course Launched at (date)
- Course Activated at (date)
- Last sign in (date)
- Business
I enjoy this you If you are adding new lessons to an already completed course can also opt to reset a student's completion percentage for instance,, at any moment.
Overall, the Course coverage is fairly simple, but I suspect it'll serve the needs of the majority of course entrepreneurs.
Contrary to the course Reporting, the quiz and survey reporting is exported to a .CSV document (rather than displayed on screen) and e-mailed to you. The .csv document includes the answers from all students who've obtained a questionnaire a quiz email address, together with their title, and if it was taken by them. For quizzes, it also provides percentage and the amount of questions the student got correct.
Overall, reporting For courses and quizzes/surveys is among the areas where the Thinkific system could be more powerful. In fairness, this tends to be true for pretty much the platforms of the all . Ideally, over time, it would be possible to access quiz/survey data and course completion through a single Web interface. Even better, it might be great to have the ability to see a student transcript that displays hours associated with a program, any credit earned (not now captured in any way at Thinkific), along with a URL to obtain the certificate related to the course. Thinkific Ceo Greg Smith
What Thinkific is currently Missing
Anyone who has Been working in the e-learning sector for the last few decades (as I have) will understand that Thinkific provides a remarkable range of features at a really affordable price. It was not long ago a system with those capabilities could have easily cost thousands of dollars a year.
With that in mind, It is hard to assert that Thinkific is"missing" much. There are openings which will rule it out for some course vendors — and all of these tend to be gaps which are characteristic of this class of platforms. The main ones I find are:
No support for xAPI/TinCan or SCORM
As mentioned previously, While Thinkific can host and deliver courses created in shared authoring tools such as Articulate and Captivate, it does not really make use of the SCORM (or even xAPI/TInCan) packaging capabilities of these applications. If you've got a robust and legitimate reason for using one of the significant e-learning criteria, then Thinkific might not be the way to go.
As I said, these Are areas which aren't served well by other programs which are in Thinkific's course. To acquire a platform that supports all three means a beginning price point than Thinkific — and it can go up a lot from there. Be sure these are gaps for you before judgment out Thinkific.
No continuing education credit capacities
While you can Indicate the number of hours for finishing a course in Thinkific, you can't specify the total amount of education available for a course. While there may be work-arounds, for many course providers that focus on providing continuing education credit, this will be a significant barrier to using Thinkific, Thinkific Ceo Greg Smith
No multi-tenancy alternative
Multi-tenancy Means that you manage and can create a number of instances of a platform under a single umbrella. This can be useful if, as an instance, you're a training company with many corporate clients and those clients want their own example of this platform for serving and managing their own users. While the Group functionality in Thinkific makes you a part of the way there, it isn't the exact same thing as multi-tenancy.
Although I have yet To discover an internet course platform which has many hidden fees, Thinkific advertises that it too has no hidden fees or contracts. That's good to know, however, nothing special.
However, Thinkific Does provide a plan that is totally free for those who wish to test the stage but not get bogged down by limitations. In theory, it helps you launch your store and begin building a student base. If you would rather give a whirl to one of the more advanced plans there is also a free trial.
The pricing is Broken up into four simple plans:
Starter — $0 for all core Thinkific capabilities. This plan has a top transaction fee, everything you need to create, promote, and sell content hosting courses, course upsells, your classes, basic integrations service, and access to all funds.
Essentials — For $49 a month you receive all core and starter features, together with a 5% transaction fee, promotions and coupons, monthly subscriptions, class bundles, intermediate integrations, fundamental Zapier, drip content, affiliate reporting, a majority student emailer, custom domain, and extra course prices. Thinkific Ceo Greg Smith
Business — For $99 a month you get the attributes from all previous plans, no transaction fees, completion certificates, personal and hidden classes, website white tagging, a host narrative, intermediate Zapier, webhooks, three-course admin accounts, advanced HTML/CSS editing, priority service, teacher payout reporting, an onboarding call, payment plans, along with a direct Infusionsoft integration.
Advanced — For $279 per month you get all attributes from prior programs, no transaction fees, one sign-on (SSO), three site admin accounts, 10-course admin accounts, an onboarding specialist, onboarding bundle, public API, advanced integrations, and innovative Zapier.
Thinkific has some Advantages to its pricing layout. Not only can you start your course at no cost (something that's not offered with competitions such as Teachable,) however, the additional 3 programs are broken down into a reasonable manner.
After all Most probably do not need API access until you start becoming advanced with your path selling.
I would not mind Seeing the completion certificates as well as also the HTML editing in the Essentials plan, but $99 per month still is bad.
As you can see, The trade prices are 10% for the program that is free. That is high, but it creates an environment for those with low volume right now or people who do not have the upfront capital to launch a professional online shop. Once you get started making money that transaction fee can be reduce by you.
You can By paying an annual basis, Save money. If you cover it all upfront, so, the Essentials plan goes to $39 per month. The Business plan is $79 a month and the Advanced plan is 219. That makes the pricing plans similar to Teachable.
I'll end this Thinkific review at which I started: this really is. Hopefully it's evident by now that it supplies a range of the features that are essential to encourage your average edupreneur in selling courses.
I Believe it is Important to repeat as I wrap up that Thinkific is a company with a lot of momentum. This is not a trivial point: the marketplace for online course platforms like Thinkific is crowded and noisy. You can be sure that a lot of the programs that are here now is going to be gone. I'm confident Thinkific will be around, and the organization is clearly growing and always investing to boost its own platform. Thinkific Ceo Greg Smith

Bison Bag: Sleeping Bag-Hammock
May 16, 2014
Category: Gear
Perhaps the reason we haven't noticed many combination sleeping bag-hammocks over the years is due to the unfortunate way the words come together. Somehow we don't see Dick's Sporting Goods carrying a "slammock" or a "hamming bag," although Dick's actually seems it would be the best place for such an item.
The Bison Bag sounds much better, and it's the brainchild of a cute young couple, Lance and Julia, who are tying the knot soon. Everything you need to grab multiple Zzzs between trees is actually inside the bag: the sleeping bag, hammock, rope, and carabiners. Build-wise the Bison Bag features #5 double head zippers, 170t polyester/pu coating, polyester microfiber filling, and a nylon cord. $60 gets you a new Bison Bag, and perhaps a link to the wedding photo album!

Fished thursday w/ Rodspanker around the pass. Caught alot of different fish but couldnt find anything in the keeper range. Tide was wayyyy out all day and didnt start coming in untill 3pm. Highlight of the day was this 40" red I caught on my super light action top water All-Star. Rodspanker pulled the anchor so the fish could pull us around before she was finally netted. We got some quick pics before releasing her back.
Later that night around 9 we went to try for some trout under the lights at the brazos. We both caught a bunch of sandies but no specks. Then out of Nowhere I hooked this Giant Big Ugly. Thought I was hung on bottom untill I felt the head shake. Cant believe this fish didnt get off or straighten out the hook on my small 1/8th oz trout rig! Released after a few pics and called it a night!
Sure was nice to get back out there!

By Hyonhee Shin and David Brunnstrom
SEOUL/WASHINGTON (Reuters) - North Korea's chief nuclear negotiator welcomed on Friday U.S. President Donald Trump's suggestion that a "new method" be used in talks on Pyongyang's nuclear weapons programs.
Kim Myong Gil praised Trump's "wise political decision" to seek a new approach to the stalled talks without a "troublemaker" in the U.S. administration - an apparent reference to John Bolton, Trump's hawkish former national security adviser, who was fired last week.
Trump said on Wednesday Bolton's suggestion for a Libyan model of denuclearization for North Korea "set us back very badly," while his own diplomacy had resulted in the country freezing nuclear tests and returning remains of U.S. soldiers missing from the 1950-53 Korean War.
"So I think John really should take a look at how badly they've done in the past and maybe a new method would be very good," Trump said, when asked about news reports saying that Bolton thought talks with North Korea were doomed to failure.
Kim Myong Gil said he wanted to be "optimistic" that the United States would present the "right calculation method at the upcoming talks," an apparent reference to a call by North Korean leader Kim Jong Un for Washington to show more flexibility.
"At the moment I am not quite sure what he (Trump) implied in his suggestion of 'new method' but to me it seems he wanted to imply that a step-by-step solution starting with the things feasible first while building trust in each other would be the best option," Kim added in a statement carried by North Korea's official KCNA news agency.
The White House did not respond when asked to elaborate on Trump's remarks.
The State Department repeated a past statement, saying: "We welcome the North Korean commitment to resume negotiations in late September. We are prepared to have those discussions at a time and place to be agreed."
It did not respond when asked if there could be any contacts with the North Koreans on the sidelines of next week's United Nations General Assembly in New York, which Trump and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo are due to attend.
North Korea's mission to the United Nations said early this month that the country's foreign minister, Ri Yong Ho, would not attend the annual gathering of world leaders "due to his schedule".
Trump's efforts to engage with North Korea nearly fell apart in February after he followed Bolton's advice at a second summit in Hanoi and handed Kim Jong Un a piece of paper urging Pyongyang to transfer all of its nuclear weapons and bomb fuel to the United States.
Pyongyang has denounced Bolton, who has advocated using military force to topple the leadership of the isolated country, as a "war maniac" and "human scum."
While negotiations have stalled since Hanoi, North Korea said this month that it was willing to restart working-level talks in late September, but no date or location have been set.
The KCNA statement formally confirmed Kim Myong Gil as North Korea's new chief negotiator, after diplomatic sources told Reuters in July that he would act as counterpart to U.S. Special Representative for North Korea Stephen Biegun.

Saturday, October 3, 2020
12pm-4pm EDT | 9am-1pm PDT
Parents play a vital role at Dragon. I do not believe I have ever attended the Dragon without running into other parents. Parents are constantly welcomed to participate in "open houses", the parents' guild and nights out like Indian dinner and the Opera evenings.
Parents are very welcome at the Dragon, and encouraged to participate in the community. Parent Guild meetings are held regularly, and there are many events where parents are invited to experience the community spirit. As a new parent, I was greeted warmly by other parents and immediately offered opportunities to become involved. At the same time, there is no pressure on parents to devote huge amounts of time to the school. The school runs beautifully without parental intervention, so parents can choose how involved they wish to be, depending on time and inclination. The school is extremely responsive to parents. Teachers and administrators are always open and frank, and willing to strategize with parents. I'm impressed that the creative mindset that is encouraged in the kids is also evident in the school leadership.
I have kept up with students after leaving the Dragon and I have been back many times after graduating. Parents are always welcome and it really is a friendly community.
The parents were involved, though, for anyone considering a school for its parental involvement, I might point out that it is not something any student has ever cared about. As the almost best man of a fellow Dragon, it is safe to say the friendship survived, even though the engagement fell apart. As an alumnus, I still see the principal and a few of the teachers on a fairly regular basis, and have coached the model UN team. I still see classmates regularly, despite many of us having moved around the globe.
Connecting with past students after graduation feels like seeing members of my family. Even when I see the students that I was not the closest with, it feels nice to reminisce over our shared experiences. I try to reach out to people every couple of months, and generally see people from the Dragon Academy four times a year. I feel closer to them than most of my other friends from that age.
The parent committee was actively involved, and there were frequent school trips. Dr. Fox (The Principal) is an amazing person and many alumni, including myself, stay in touch with her.
One will not make a lot of friends at the Dragon, as it is a small school. However, the friends one makes generally are a lot closer.
The community was always very motivated. Whatever people were interested in, they were ready to talk about and explore, especially what we didn't understand. Walking through the halls, you'd find artists sharing techniques, math enthusiasts proving formulae and coding, politically minded people having debates, and all teaching each other. The teachers were regularly included in such discussions, and were not afraid to say "I don't know". Communications are always open between the staff and parents, and many parents get involved through the Parents Guild. The Dragon has many school clubs are run by parents, and many events, like the school play, or the Art Cafe, where parents take active roles. While I'm not still in touch with all the alumni, I regularly see/speak to many from my year, whom I consider my best friends. I often visit the Dragon to catch up with all the students and teachers I miss.
I think Dragon's community spirit is best shown by the open house events. Many students stay late to help set up, and so many parents come that the building becomes crowded. There was always lots of student work on display--everything from films to art installations to robots, built by the small robotics club. One year while I was there the french class turned a classroom into a French cafe, complete with food, entertainment, and little awnings over the windows outside. There are open mic events, where students can sing, or read their writing aloud. Alumni are encouraged to attend as well. All of this is to say that the Dragon community is engaged and fun, and the students' success is always in the spotlight.
The Dragon Academy is definitely home to me. The Dragon Community is very accepting making everyone feeling included and appreciated. As a new student, I was made to feel welcomed and met many amazing people. You are also always given the support you need by the school leadership.

1. Re: How to set global resources when there's a conflictpushekm_21 May 28, 2011 3:25 AM (in response to userc_44625)
Please let me know what is the timing which you want to generate from Timer8 block. You want to source a clock of 250Hz to Timer8 block. There are a couple of solutions for this:
1. If operation of UART and Timer8 block is mutually exclusive: In this case, whenever you want to use Timer8, at that time you can modify the VC dividers to generate a clock of required frequency. But you cannot change the SysClk, so clock of Timer8 should be sourced from some other module and when UART has to be used VC dividers should be switched back to the normal mode. Please note that both of them cannot work simultaneously.
2. If both of them are supposed to work together, then you'll need another block which should divide the VC dividers to a required clock and then source it to Timer8 block. This would depend on the number of digital blocks your device have.
Best regards,
2. Re: How to set global resources when there's a conflictjenoc_293011 Jun 4, 2011 9:07 PM (in response to userc_44625)
As far as I know you can't change SYSCLK, you can only change CPU_CLK's divider.
If you're trying to generate a 250Hz clock for your timer8 you can't do it that way. The lowest value you can get from VC3 is 366Hz. You're either going to have to use two timers, a 16-bit timer or do some division in an interrupt and bit-bang whatever output the timer is supposed to drive.
The good news is that leaves VC3 available for the UART. :)

Intro Entrepreneur WordPress Theme
Choosing a Theme for your site is much like falling in love — and it is among the most important decisions a new blogger could make! Your theme is basically your viewer's window into your blog's soul. Now that I have been blogging for nearly six months and have had enough time to test drive my blog's topic, I wanted to share an honest review of my Restored 316 Designs theme and inform you why R316 themes are the very best feminine WordPress themes for bloggers.

Restored 316 Designs is a Business that creates gorgeous Topics for your female entrepreneur. Their feminine designs are the go-to theme for many successful bloggers and online business owners.
I found Out about them through Abby Lawson, who runs the successful blog Just a Girl and Her Blog, whose blogging manual I spoke at length about this.
The Way to Select a BLOG THEME
I said that Choosing a theme is similar to falling in love, which is completely correct!
There Are tons of factors that affect falling in love: beauty, desirability, similarity, need fulfillment…like the ability to lay down a hardwood flooring, perhaps?
A woman can Dream, can not she?
(Let's just Say I did not marry my husband because of his handiness round the house. .)p–>
Anyhow, my point is when people come to your site, you need them to fall Just a little bit in love with you.
If they do, There's a good likelihood that they will come back again.
Then again.
And hopefully Again and again, till you are such good friends that you share inside jokes collectively in the comment section. (I want US to be friends like this.)
Studies reveal You merely have 7 seconds to make a first impression…and do not you want a reader's first impression of you to be BRILLIANT? (FYI, in case it isn't you risk them clicking off and rebounding , never to return)
So how do you Catch their attention with your website theme? In fact, it's really simple!
You want a theme that's:
· Attractive
· Clean

There are Complimentary WordPress topics and premium WordPress topics. While you are able to discover beautiful free topics, they might not be mobile responsive and may not be updated as often as needed to maintain a beautiful and functional website in the ever-changing online area. A premium theme normally provides you with updates and customer care. Customer support is critical because if something isn't functioning correctly or you have any queries concerning your subject you'll want to have an answer. Having a free motif, you might not even know who made it, let alone have a way to contact them.
Important note: you Will Need the Genesis Framework so as to use a R316 theme. The R316 topics are constructed upon the Genesis Framework, like a house is built upon a foundation. The Genesis theme is the"parent" theme and the R316 motif is the"kid" theme.

I reached out Into Lauren Gaige, whoever owns R316 and asked her which of her subjects are the most popular (it's not Beautiful Guru, boohoo.)
Their most Well-known themes, in sequence, are:
2. Refined
3. Anchored
4. Market
5. Darling & Sprinkle Guru (tie)
They even Offer a quiz for those who are not sure what subject would be right for you!
Here is their New number three motif that is fast rising to the top of the ranks, Anchored.
*Note: when I had ONE complaint regarding my Delightful Guru theme, it would be that it doesn't have a tacky announcement bar with a button link at the top. I NOW understand that these kinds of pubs with buttons instantly convert more email subscriptions. (FYI, don't get hung up on the pub a lot of…there are plugins that can do so, or you could also have one custom coded.)
If you choose a Glimpse around my blog, you will find that everything is quite harmonious.
In the Social networking buttons on top, right down to the color of my links, what's consistent.
Here are a Few of the words which my readers have used to describe what They like about my blog:
· Intelligent
· sterile
· Gorgeous
· Rich
· Simple to Use
· Organized
Which is Literally everything that I wished to exude when I was brainstorming for my blog!
That means That your blog is going to look fabulous regardless of who's seeing it on what device.
It doesn't Matter if it's Joe Schmoe riding the train while studying on his iPhone or Grandma Lois peering at it on her desktop computer, surrounded by cats.
Your theme Will match itself to each screen , be it desktop, tabletcomputer, or mobile.
I had a girl Complaining to me Facebook another day that she spent three hours on her website — just to realize that she had purchased a non-mobile responsive motif and had to begin from scratch!
Do not be that girl. Entrepreneur WordPress Theme
RESTORED 316 THEMES ARE Simple to NAVIGATE
No matter What page you land on, it's not hard to navigate to my own site or anyplace else on my website. My subject has menus, secondary menus, a category indicator, a topical search indicator, and monthly archives!
All Restored 316 topics also arrive with a search box which enables readers to conduct a search in your site using keywords. That is useful if a person remembers they watched something on your site, but are having a difficult time locating it.
For example, Let's say that they remembered reading my post on hitting 140,000 pageviews in my eighth month blogging, but haven't visited in ages and forgot to save it.
A fast Search for"140,000″ or"eighth" will turn up that article!
Easy peasy Lemon squeezey.
Here is what The basic version of my blog motif originally looked like. As you can see in the picture above, my website has the exact same design — I just changed things up a bit! (Update: I changed my subject; again below!)
I made my Emblem myself in PicMonkey and customized the colors to my new (cherry, mint, green, crimson, and yellow).
(My motif, Beautiful Guru, is actually one of the LEAST popular topics, Believe it or not (more on that in a minute).
But if You are a blogger with a lot of markets, such as moi, I discover that Delightful Pro works really nicely, as you can readily fit 5-6 categories on the home page.
Like other Restored 316 topics, it comes with choices such as:
· Customizable Color
· Auto Setup of plugins
· Custom Categories
· WooCommerce Ready
· Above Header Ad Space
· Category Index for organization
· Ability to Upload your own logo
· Mobile Responsiveness
You can also Switch things up like the font, which just requires a little additional work and coding.
RESTORED 316 HAS Step-by-step INSTRUCTIONS AND SUPPORT
Directions And support are one of the main reasons I opted to utilize Restored 316 for my WordPress theme. I'm not all that technologically educated especially when it comes to coding. I knew I needed a company that offered exceptional customer care.
Each theme Has a set of files that will help you set up your theme from the box. If you want your site to look like the demo there are directions for that.
But if You ought to make personalized adjustments to the website website oftored 316 step by step instructions make that easy too. Lauren shares everything which may be tweaked and exactly what to do to get the look you desire. Should you need to change a piece of code she even shows you just where to do that and what to click. It is honestly foolproof.
If you'd Like Restored 316 to Install and Setup your website you have that option too. It's easy to do yourself but if you want this added support the option can be obtained. Entrepreneur WordPress Theme
There's also Added community support with all the Restored 316 Community Facebook group!

More Upheavals - don't mention Snow...
Well, I'm sorry to be a spoilsport but I am so sick of the word SNOW I could scream. But here in Falmouth we have had extremes of weather that I've never seen before all in one day. We woke to snow. Half an hour later, we had a huge thunderstorm with lightning flashing ahead. That calmed down and gale force winds blew up, with lashing rain.
A half hour reprieve, during which I dashed out with Molls and realised just how incredibly cold it was – got back and looked out of the window to see huge golf ball sized hailstones, followed by snow. All of which took place in the space of two hours.
While we've all been disrupted, I had to put off an interview with Porfell Wildlife and Animal Sanctuary which I have been trying to get to for some time. First time Himself was starting to be poorly, then they were going away and this time we were snowed in, so I am hoping to go next week – or at least before Christmas.
The couple that run it are now in their 70s and came to Cornwall in the 1970s with the idea of running their own smallholding. They arrived in an old minibus containing a pony, rabbits, budgies, two dogs, and a horsebox with their daughter and her pony. Joy followed in an old Triumph Herald with yet more animals including the cats.
Their dreams have multiplied, and now they aim to "provide a safe haven for elderly and problem exotic animals for the rest of their lives. The work of our sanctuary is recognised nationally by zoos, wildlife parks and other organisations.
Here at our animal sanctuary you will see groups of single sex animals, such as Ring-Tailed lemurs. Elderly animals like our dear old meerkats in retirement in a nice heated enclosure. You will see some who can breed, like the White lipped tamarins. Mother, Tammy had twins last year, they look as they have just drunk a large glass of milk, with milk still on there lips.
Not forgetting old favorites like zebra, capybara, owls, ocelot and lynx. All enjoy environments created to suit their individual needs. New to the park are Black lemurs – we have registered to become part of the E.E.P. European Endangered species programme; to help these very rare lemurs, ours are past their breeding prime at the age of 27 but are helping us to highlight the plight of the Black lemurs of Madagascar."
They sound such an inspirational couple, I am longing to meet them. So hurry up weather and warm up so I can get there!

I do hope you manage to do your interview soon and that Himself is improving each day.
Our schools are shut and the buses aren't running, but I've had a white garden since last Friday, which is almost unheard of over here.
- 2 December 2010 at 07:10
- Flowerpot said...
Thanks Debs. Himself is improving but had a hiccup with his kidneys which they are still trying to sort out. I heard that all the Channel Island schools are shut - widespread disruption everywhere!

I am also fed up of snow. Its now been a week since we could drive at anything other than 10 miles an hour and frankly I am bored of it. Last winter it was like that for 6 weeks solid so hopefully it won;t be that bad this time. haiving said that, looking at the blizzard outside at the moment it doesn't look good.
Fingers crossed Himself will be feeling better soon. Take care of yourself.
- 2 December 2010 at 09:23
- Flowerpot said...
Colette - well you have it much worse than us. 6 weeks! You poor things! Its Ok for a bit if you don't have to go anywhere but after that - forget it. Himself seems to be making progress slowly but hopefully surely, and I am OK thanks.

Yesterday in Union Square Park, Ecuadorian dancers celebrated Inti Raymi, the "festival of the sun" that has traditionally marked the winter solstice in the Andean region. St. Mark's Church in-the-Bowery hosted a similar event featuring dancers and actors from Abya Yala Arte y Cultura. If you saw the festivities and have photos to share, add them to The Local's Flickr pool. We'll feature them in our newsletter.

Should I start offering web design courses Norwich? Read on.
When I was at school, apart from English Literature, the curriculum seemed utterly pointless. The cookery teacher made Gordon Ramsay look a model of patience, maths consisted of repetitive drills, history was about roads and canals, geography was colouring in – still is apparently.
Obviously what I'd like to learn now didn't exist – I'd love to speak French fluently but my memories of lessons back then were saying my name and age for 3 solid years, a skill I've never used in France ever.
Web design didn't exist, because the nearest we got to technological ejaculation was a Casio digital watch and Pong – Google it if you're under 40.
I've learned web design in the past few years in partnership and through adding content to websites directly. I've never ever enrolled in web design courses Norwich as to be honest I like independent learning. I do keep saying this to a point of sounding like a stuck record – web design is not particularly difficult, it's the content that is most challenging.
Buying a domain, adding it to a hosting package, installing WordPress and adding pages is a piece of piss.
Time-consuming yes; difficult no.
Not when you've learned how. I did this one reasonably quickly.
I consider it a bit like me being forcibly removed from Britain for my Remainer views, stripped of my nationality and having to relocate to France, muttering "Je m'appelle Stuart; j'ai quinze ans" to the disbelief of locals.
I'd be immersed in France and mingling and would learn to speak and write it fluently within, I reckon, about a year.
I've been tinkering with copywriting and web design for 4 years, and I'm pretty fluent in both now, just, as I would be, if the Home Office removed my nationality and said "Off you go to Lille."
I'd manage and become proficient quickly – just as I have with web design.
Web design courses Norwich – or Great Yarmouth – or Lowestoft – or wherever – are something I should probably consider doing, given that I enjoy an audience and love imparting information and coaching after 27 years in education.
WordPress could become my new "Of Mice and Men".
Those PowerPoints, mouldering in forgotten folders called Poetry, could be adapted to a guide to making a website secure; compressing images for fast rendering; how to write and append a GDPR Privacy Policy in a website footer.
Okay, it's not quite as exciting as Lennie busting Curley's hand in Chapter 3, but, trust me, the appeal of that faded on its 20th read to classes.
What do people think?
Has this web design courses Norwich (or elsewhere) idea got legs? Would people pay to attend a workshop and come out with the basics of designing a website and become my competition?
Or should I just stick to knocking out websites for clients, undercutting web design Norwich agencies for both value and service?
I'm not sure, tbh.

Consider it the frontline of your campaign efforts. Your digital brand can yield all the benefits these events provide and more. It should leave users with an understanding of who you are and what you stand for.

1. Re: Busy Icon on my pagefmarwede Oct 23, 2007 6:10 PM (in response to okmich)
Please post versions of richfaces and other libs and a minimal code snippet where you get such behavior.
2. Re: Busy Icon on my pageokmich Oct 24, 2007 7:35 AM (in response to okmich)
the version being used is richfaces 3.1.0.
secondly, I notice at time when the users load the page for the first time, the rendering of faces component is partial resulting in a not fully loaded page.
please provide me with some solutions or workaround to this issue of if an upgrade will solve the problem.
Thanks so far.
3. Re: Busy Icon on my pagefmarwede Oct 24, 2007 8:58 AM (in response to okmich)
Hmm...upgrade to the newest GA is always worth to try. What server do you use? Are there any strange things on the console? And: Use <a4j:log> to look for the reason for the behavior you notice.
4. Re: Busy Icon on my pageokmich Oct 24, 2007 10:42 AM (in response to okmich)
I am using tomcat and about the migrate to glassfish. I am just beginning to nurse a feeling (after downloading version 3.1.1 and using it) that richfaces might not be very mature enough to go into large application like the one I am working on. (I stand to be corrected).
We are just framing up our architecture and are already having real issues with richfaces.
5. Re: Busy Icon on my pagefmarwede Oct 24, 2007 11:19 AM (in response to okmich)
As far as my experience goes (we are working with richfaces a couple of month) the most of the errors and bad behavior results from other things than bugs of richfaces. And if something really "smells" like a bug, you will see that the richfaces people react very fast and you can update your version with the bugfix one or two weeks later.
This is why it's very important that you post as much information about your problem as you can. Than I (or others) can create a test setting to reproduce your problem. As far as now I can only say: I'm working with the newest richfaces and tomcat and I'm using many tabbed panels and have no problems with that.
