Deep in the Valley is the first book in the Grace Valley series by Robyn Carr. From the back cover.~
Visitors to the town often remark about the valley's peace and beauty-both of which are plentiful. Unlocked doors, front porches, pies cooling in the windows-this is country life at its finest. But visitors don't always see what lies at the heart of a community. Or just beyond…
June Hudson grew up in Grace Valley, the daughter of the town doctor. Leaving only to get her medical training, she returned home and followed in her father's footsteps. Some might say she shoes the easy, comfortable route…but June knows better.
For June, her emergency room is wherever she's needed-or wherever a patient finds her. She is always on call, her work is her life and these people are her extended family. Which is a good thing, since this is a town where you should have picked your husband in the ninth grade. Grace Valley is not exactly the place to meet eligible men-until an undercover DEA agent suddenly starts appearing at all sorts of strange hours.
Everybody has secrets down in the valley. Now June has one of her own.
I had seen books by Robyn Carr for some time, but until my friend Paula suggested her books, I had not added her to my monster TBR list. I bought the first book in Robyn's Grace Valley series based on Paula's suggestion and absolutely couldn't put it down. I love June and all the residents of Grace Valley. The town and the people in it really made me think of my hometown, which is another small town filled with characters. With Deep in the Valley, you get see pretty much every aspect of a close-knit small town. I absolutely loved the main character June. She is such a strong and independent woman, but still wants a husband and family as any other woman would at her age. When a mysterious man shows up in her clinic with another man with a gunshot wound, June is attracted to the mystery man and must find out more about him. We soon find out Jim is a DEA agent working undercover and he is just as attracted to June as she is to him.
The town must also band together to take care of their own. Whether it is to remove a minister who doesn't treat the women of the town right, supporting a wife who has been abused for years by her husband, or helping a Vietnam vet get the medical help he and his family need. With the help of her long-time staff, including her father, and the new doctor June hired, Dr. John Stone, the town of Grace Valley is in good hands.
I loved Deep in the Valley so much I ordered the next 2 books in the series as well as the first 2 books in Robyn's Virgin River series.

The Following article originated at and is taken from DiscoverTheNetworks.com
Founded in 1995, the Brennan Center for Justice is a think tank and legal activist group affiliated with New York University Law School and pursues a wide range of goals drawn from the radical agenda of Sixties activism as well as from the program of George Soros' Open Society Institute. The Center generates scholarly studies, mounts media campaigns, files amicus briefs, gives pro bono support to activists, and litigates test cases in pursuit of radical "change." It employs 35 full-time staff, including attorneys, social scientists, researchers, and publicists.
Former Amherst College president Tom Gerety became Executive Director of the Brennan Center in May 2003, succeeding Founding Director E. Joshua Rosenkranz. The Center's stated mission is to carry on the work of its namesake, former Supreme Court Justice William J. Brennan, Jr. (1906 - 1997), who pioneered the modern practice of "legislating from the bench" and gave birth to the doctrine of the "living" Constitution whose relationship to the Founders' document is "evolving." The Brennan Center runs the following programs and projects:
Campaign Finance Reform Project: Seeks to expand,
strengthen and further complicate campaign-finance laws above and
beyond the McCain-Feingold restrictions.
(b) Fair Courts Project: Works toward a more racially diverse and leftist judiciary; lobbies for legislation that would protect what it calls the "judicial independence" of leftist judges from the moderating effects of judicial elections, judicial impeachments and any other forces that might tend to inhibit their activism.
(c) Voter Choice Project: Lobbies for electoral rule changes that would favor third-party candidates.
(d) Voting and Representation Project: Works to grant voting rights to felons and other "disenfranchised" groups; seeks redistricting and other systemic changes that would primarily benefit Democrats and other leftist parties; promotes electoral reforms whose practical effect would be to make voter fraud easier.
(e) Free Expression Policy Project: Fights the cutback of state funding for avant-garde artists while pushing for government intervention to stifle politically conservative voices on the airwaves.
Access to Justice Project: Lobbies for
a constitutional "right to counsel" for would-be plaintiffs in civil
lawsuits; seeks to transform the Legal Services Corporation (LSC)
into a permanent mechanism to provide legal manpower and limitless
funding for lawsuits.
(b) Economic Justice Project: Promotes massive government intervention in the economy to ensure a "living wage" to all Americans, whether or not they work.
Community Justice Institute: Promotes
measures that would bring law enforcement and criminal justice under
the de facto control of local "community" activists.
(b) National Security and Liberty Project: On October 16, 2001, Brennan Center Executive Director Burt Neuborne took part in a Soros-funded "Defending America, Defending an Open Society" conference, which focused on "protecting civil liberties in an age of terrorism." The Center's "National Security and Liberty Project" now provides a permanent institutional mechanism for putting that conference's proposals into effect.
Between 1999 and 2004, the Open Society Institute gave grants to the Brennan Center totaling $3,291,218. Other major supporters include the Carnegie Corporation of New York; the Ford Foundation; Pew Charitable Trusts; the Joyce Foundation; the Rockefeller Foundation; the Goldsmith Foundation; the Annie E. Casey Foundation; the Public Welfare Foundation; NY Community Trust; the New York Foundation; the Atlantic Foundation of New York; the Clark Foundation; the Nathan Cummings Foundation; the JEHT Foundation; the Scherman Foundation; the Gimbel Foundation; the Deer Creek Foundation; the Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Krantz Foundation; the Kansas City Community Foundation; the Mertz Gilmore Foundation; the Rubinstein Foundation; the Sprague Educational and Charitable Foundation; the Gerbode Foundation; the Rosenberg Foundation; the Starr Foundation; and the Heron Foundation. Between 2000 and 2003, these foundations gave over $8.5 million to the Brennan Center.
We believe that the Constitution of the United States speaks for itself. There is no need to rewrite, change or reinterpret it to suit the fancies of special interest groups or protected classes.

The sparkling blue sea
Brings a smile to me
For I know you would be
Quite content and happy.
From pain you're set free
You've been given the key.
But we did not foresee
This is now, reality
You're forever aged thirty.
Life has no guarantee
No promise of immortality
But we thought you'd be
Here for longer, sweetpea.
Love you my Angel.
Blowing kisses to heaven

Anyone else remember Sammy Terry?

Did you know he still does appearances around Halloween? I didn't until I saw a commercial that he was gonna be here at Asylum House in Greenwood. I don't do haunted houses so I didn't go. He's gonna be at a theater 10/18, so I ordered tickets for me and my mom. He's doing a meet and greet at a local bar afterwards, we're going straight to the bar because he's just introducing the old 13 Ghosts and leaving the theater. It was only $10 each compared to $19 at the haunted house. It's at least a 1 1/2 drive compared to 20-30 min at the haunted house but oh well...I watched his show all the time! I loved it! My grandmas sister dated him years ago You can order autographed items on his website sammyterry.com and there is another site with his schedule plus old videos sammyterrynightmares.com. You can even book him privately! He is 77 now, can't believe he's still doing all this!

That is an Indiana thing. I used to stay up late and watch him all the time. It was said that he had worn that makeup for so long that he could not get it off of him. (That was when he was doing the show) I remember watching all the old horro flicks. The Werewolf, Frankenstein, Count Dracula Creature from the black lagoon. lol How cheesy they would look now.

A year ago I made a playlist for this occasion called "Peace, Love, & Changing The World."
I wasn't quite that enterprising this year. I would like to share last year's list once again so that you may all feel the vibrations of love, peaceful energy, and inspiration that emanate out of these songs.
Click here to listen to the playlist on Youtube.
What a Wonderful World
What I love so much about this song is when Louis Armstrong sings,
"I hear babies crying, I watch them grow
They'll learn much more than I'll never know
And I think to myself what a wonderful world"
I love to think about how our children will know so much more than we will. Gen Z's depth of knowledge and potential for understanding our world will far exceed all generations who came before, just as we millennials have surpassed the generations before us. It's the way it is and the way it will always be.
Give Love
Another song just bursting with lovingkindness. Andy Grammer and LunchMoney Lewis get to the real heart of love in their songwriting. Who truly teaches us love? It is our mother, and our father. Andy's mother instilled him with a profound love for all humanity, and a desire to share that love unconditionally with the world.
Nothing More
When I first heard the Alternate Routes and Lily Costner harmonizing these verses on the radio, it went through me. I could do nothing but hang on breathlessly to every syllable. My favorite line is "The danger's in the anger and the hanging on to it." Anger is the antithesis of love. If there is anything that holds us back from embracing goodness in the world, it is anger. A fake Buddha quote says it poignantly: "Anger is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die."
Humble and Kind
When I heard this song by Tim McGraw, I was still a megalomaniac, so I had no trouble imagining a future where I had made it big, but still held onto my roots and my humanity. It is a beautiful testament to balancing pride with humility.
This song is more about motivation to persevere through a challenge than the true heart of love, but love is an integral part of everything good in this world. Whether it is the steady climb and inevitable falls of building a small business, or a battle with Lyme's disease, we can all relate to struggles in our lives and how it takes some hard love to overcome.
I think anyone will agree, Pentatonix is always a pleasure to listen to. This modern a cappella group has paid beautiful homage to John Lennon's golden oldie. If you haven't seen their music video, it's worth checking out.
One Love
Ah Bob Marley. Whether you are a reggae fan or not, you'd have to be living under a rock not to have heard One Love. It's not its lyrics alone that make this song radiate love, peace, and changing the world. It is its sweet, gentle cadence that takes us to a lullaby land of amity, trust, and brotherly love.
Stand By You
Life is hard for all of us at one time or another. Rachel Platten's song is a powerful reminder that lending a hand (or a pair of wings, apparently), to our sisters and brothers in need is simply part of what it means to be human.
What About Now
Why do I feel like pulling a song from 2006 almost makes it an oldie? Man I feel old. Gold millennials will remember this song from their youth. I was a freshman in college when it came out. This song emulates the pure power of love in both its words and music. Every time I hear it, it washes over me.
Our capacity to love and our will to do good in the world can come from the example of our loving mother, but not all of us have mothers like Andy Grammer. It sounds like Imagine Dragons didn't. Their conviction comes from pain, and through it they came to understand their power.
Just Like Fire
This song is about being ourselves in a world that values predictability and rewards conformity. I love the metaphor of fire. It is one of the reasons we are gold millennials. Gold is tested in fire. Fire reveals the purity of gold. We may have been through the fire, but we came out pure. Just like fire, we can be strong, powerful, and burn down the forces of injustice and corruption in this world.
Fight Song
A playlist about changing the world would not be complete without this song. Rachel belts out her courage and confidence in a call to action that rises like a phoenix from hardship and pain. We all have this power. A single match can make an explosion.
Someday we'll have it all figured out, right? Humans are a stubborn species, but we also evolve.
Om Mani Padme Hum
This is my absolute favorite rendition of Om Mani Padme Hum, a mantra of compassion chanted 108 times by Tibetans Buddhist monks. The purpose is to purify negative karma, and metaphysically expand and spread our own goodness out into the world.
I hope you've enjoyed today's blog post in honor of International Peace Day! But I hope you continue to enjoy this playlist for many more years to come. May peace be with you on this day, and all days.

Stock photos provided by the manufacturers may not represent the actual item. Please verify this picture accurately reflects the product described by the title and description before you place your order.
FLI MicroLine CCD cameras are small and lightweight, but they perform amazingly well in key areas such as noise, frame quality, download speeds, bit-depth, and CCD cooling.
FLI MicroLine CCD cameras feature fast download speeds. Each component of the FLI MicroLine camera is designed and manufactured for a long life in the most demanding conditions. All major components are CNC machined and you're looking at only the highest quality electrical components and circuit boards with logo, serial number and focal plane indicators laser-etched on the surface - not printed. FLI-designed photo etched stainless-steel shutters are field serviceable should they ever encounter damage, and the sensor is hermetically sealed against dust and moisture.
What sets FLI MicroLine CCD Cameras apart is their small form factor. At 3.7 x 3.7 x 5 inches (HWL), the FLI MicroLine is a small camera with big camera capabilities! The Microline improves upon the highly successful FLI MaxCam design in a number of key areas including cooling, download speeds, clear aperture, and sensor capability.
Now, let's talk about FLI MicroLine CCD Camera Cooling... The FLI MicroLine's robust cooling design achieves a sustainable cooling performance of 50-55 deg C below ambient. The camera's CCD can be operated at -30 deg C with typical room temperatures and without the need for water cooling (offered as an option) or special cooling sequences. Simply set the MicroLine cooling where you want it and the camera will do the rest ' quickly and worry-free.
Conventional imaging cameras move the image data directly from the image sensor to the USB port, making them susceptible to added artifacts due to PC processing tasks, processor speed, and other PC-related issues. The MicroLine avoids these issues with its internal frame buffer, thus allowing an image to be quickly read out and downloaded to the PC. This allows the PC to take the image at whatever speed it is capable of without introducing any artifacts to the image.
When it comes to the FLI MicroLine, you get system compatibility and mounting options as well as mechanical shutter, liquid cooling, and Anti-Dew Technology options that will help you trick out your camera the way you want it. The MicroLine array of CCD cameras is compatible with all FLI imaging accessories, including the Precision line of Color Filter Wheels and Digital Focusers. MicroLine camera adapters are available for microscope, telescope and machine vision connectivity.
The KAI-16050 Image Sensor is a 16-megapixel CCD in an APS-H optical format. Based on the TRUESENSE 5.5 micron Interline Transfer CCD Platform, the sensor features broad dynamic range, and excellent imaging performance. A vertical overflow drain structure suppresses image blooming and enables electronic shuttering for precise exposure control.

I'm officially into the third trimester.
Even just writing that sentence fills me with, well, all the feelings.
I'm excited. I'm so, so, so excited that it's almost time to finally have our little girl in our arms. Joey and I talk every day about how much we can't wait to meet her and how much we're looking forward to even the most mundane moments. (Baby's first yawn? It's gonna kill me dead.)
I'm nervous. You guys, I'm going to be a mom. That's…big. One of the biggest things I've ever done. I want so much to be good at it without driving anyone (myself included) crazy. That's a lot of pressure.
I'm (a little) stressed. There is so much I want to do before Vivian makes her grand entrance. Blame it on the nesting, but whatever it is, here's everything that has been crowding my to-do list:
1. Finish the nursery.
Obviously this is a big one. We're planning to paint her room this weekend (and I'll hopefully get a start on the mural wall on Sunday). I also have some frames that I need to paint and fill for her walls. As soon as that's done, we'll order the crib. I've been looking around on Craigslist for the perfect dresser/changing table, but I haven't found the right one yet. I also need to start finding alternate places for everything we've been storing in the room until now.
2. Organize the hall and front closet.
I've mentioned before the weird abundance of closet space our apartment has. The front coat closet and hall closet are two that I feel are a bit underutilized at the moment. Now that we're much more settled, I want to basically take everything out of each of them and put it back in a way that makes the most sense. Being me, I'm of course weirdly excited to do this. In a similar vein, I also want to reorganize our cellar space. This is largely a room for Joey's sports equipment and bigger items we don't have room for, but I think it could be a little neater.
3. Do my bi-annual clothing cull.
I'm very serious about my twice-yearly clothing sorts where I get rid of anything that is cluttering up our closets. Since the little miss will be arriving around the time I usually do my fall closet purge, I'd like to get that taken care of over the summer. (Since, you know, I've heard people with newborns are fairly busy people.)
4. Just…generally clean everything?
I think I can definitely blame this one on the nesting, but I want to get at least one deep cleaning in sometime late summer. My mom is planning to spend a week or two with us after Vivi is born, so I know she will be extremely helpful with the general upkeep of the apartment, but I'll feel better if I know everything has had a fairly recent scrub-down. I also want to finish up any last-minute decor plans I've had rolling around my head so I'm not, I don't know, staring at those spots on the walls that need paint touch-ups in Vivian's third month. Hypothetically.
5. Get my own maintenance in.
As I said, people with babies seem pretty busy. So I want to get myself in order (as much as possible) before the baby gets here. That means dentist appointments, hair appointments, and any other last-minute things-that-make-me-feel-healthy-and-like-myself appointments needs to be scheduled sometime in August. Think of it as a pre-baby tune-up.
Okay, all written down, this list feels much more manageable. I really need about four solid weekends to get everything done. (Not the easy request since July is already pretty much taken up, but I still think I can get it done.)
Am I forgetting anything?

Hello! I am writing this blog in the hope that I get through to as many women as I can, that they are not alone when they fall down while dreaming their big dreams, and making their big plans.
It's one of the most beautiful things about us humans...that we want and strive for things to be better for ourselves, for our family and for the planet. We keep wanting to make things easier, more beautiful and have better quality of life. And what's wrong with that I hear you think?
Well I think lately there has been such a big rise in women working more, women creating more and women proving time and time again that they can. get. the. job. done. While raising their families.
But have you noticed the rise in adrenal fatigue, hormonal imbalance, autoimmune issues, anxiety and depression too?
I sure have. And I've been there. Bought the ticket, saw the show and yet....still I want to see more!
I want to keep riding that roller-coaster as it feels more like a home to me than the merry-go-round does. I've spent the past two years beating myself up for wanting more and getting so sick and fatigued (yep, bloody adrenal burn out slash autoimmune flare up slash weight gain slash sleep issues) and even though I've made many changes to correct my course and feel a lot better, I still keep heading down the path of wanting more fulfilment and more quality time with my loved ones and getting more out of my life...
I've finally decided that this is not a bad thing and have ceased trying to change who I am. Because really, we can make corrections and go about things a bit better once we have learned from our mistakes....but can we ever really change our hearts desires and what makes us tick? I don't think we can.
We just need to create a life that suits us better.
I'm sharing all of this because I know I'm not alone. I'm surrounded by friends, work acquaintances and customers who are just like me.
They are juggling a LOT to create better lives....so their mindset and sometimes their health really suffers. Just like mine has. I've spent so much time working out how to change when really all I needed to do was change my mindset as I went about achieving my desires and goals. And if I can help others do this, then I'm bloody excited because I keep seeing amazing things being created out of the dreams and desires of these women around me and I want access to what they are creating! I want to support them so they can keep creating and not fall down as much as I have.
So I came up with a new blend of essences and I trialed it on the best guinea pig I knew.....me. And it helped soooo much! I then used many of the amazing women around me as guinea pigs and guess what? It helped them soooo much too!
I got a bit nostalgic as it reminded me of why I created Mumma Magic and Mumma Mojo almost 5 years ago now because they were also born out of my personal necessity when I became a mum. I got to share them with my mothers' group and mumma friends, and watched as we all coped better, and felt better, as we stumbled through the newness and relentless emotional challenges that motherhood presented us.
So why not do the same for this 'newer' stage of my life? And so Like A Boss was born!
I am so excited to help the jugglers out there with this blend like it's helped me.
Maybe you're an entrepreneur or business owner? Maybe you study and work (and parent!?) Maybe you have big dreams and want to put them in place for a better life for you and your family? And if you do any of this while also managing a household...this blend is your new best friend!
Here's what's in it:
Antiseptic Bush - 'The essence of staying true to one's journey and accepting into one's life only that will sustain and support the inner nature. For cleansing oneself of negative influences in the environment or a build up over time of such influences within oneself'
Keywords - integrity, sanctity, cleansing, alert, focus.
Blue China Orchid - 'To strengthen the Will and take back control of the Self. To realise the beauty of inner focus and consistency in establishing a fulfilling life'
Keywords - strengthen, self control, will renewal, change
Brown Boronia - 'The essence of freeing the mind. To inspire the realisation that the journey of Life will bring solutions, one needs patience and acceptance of the here and now'
Keywords - free, release, patience, acceptance
Candle of Life - 'This essence helps the person to switch on their Light again. The renewal of hope and optimism.'
Keywords - positivity, optimism, light, renewal
Correa - 'The essence to inspire feelings of positivity and self esteem. Being able to learn from mistakes with acceptance and without blame or regret'
Keywords - confidence, self esteem, learning, acceptance, potential
Red Beak Orchid - 'The essence of renewing energy and inspiration to attend to all facets of life creatively and with equal enthusiasm'
Keywords - enthusiasm, resolve, responsible, desire, holistic
Reed Triggerplant - 'The essence to recharge after a long struggle. To heal and then integrate and revitalise the parts of the mind and body that feel worn down. To restore inner strength, unify the mind and regain the ability to withstand the rigours of one's life'
Keywords - rejuvenate, restore, withstand, revitalize, recover
Silver Princess - 'The inspiration to tackle difficulties with the development of inner strength. To continually challenge oneself to overcome internal and external obstacles to progress."
Keywords - challenge, overcoming, mastering, persistence
So as you can see there's a lot of support in this blend for exactly the things we need if we are to become 'jugglers'.
It's not a remedy that will instantly make life better or more amazing (that's up to you!) but it will support you through the times of juggling your life with your dreams and desires.
And because I want to provide as much emotional support as possible for the jugglers, I have also created the Like A Boss pack because I know firsthand the extra help I need if I want more remedies to take on an 'as needed' basis alongside the Like A Boss blend.
1 x Like A Boss (to take morning and night)
The Like A Boss pack contains:
1 x Manifest (take as needed to attract even more positivity when you notice negative self talk or feelings of lack arise) and
1 x Sweet Dreams (to take before bed and again if needed to promote a more restful night)

All about A1c (Part 2)January 28, 2012 Health Care Comments Off
1. A1c can give false results in some people. It can be unreliable for diagnosing or monitoring diabetes in people with certain conditions that are known to interfere with the results. Interference should be suspected when A1c results seem very different from the results of a blood glucose test. People of African, Mediterranean, or Southeast Asian descent, or people with family members with sickle cell anemia or a thalassemia are particularly at risk of interference. People in these groups may have a less common type of hemoglobin, known as a hemoglobin variant that can interfere with some A1c tests. Most people with a hemoglobin variant have no symptoms and may not know that they carry this type of hemoglobin.
2. Not all of the A1c tests are unreliable for people with a hemoglobin variant. People with false results from one type of A1c test may need a different type of A1c test for measuring their average blood glucose level.
3. False A1c results may also occur in people with other problems that affect their blood or hemoglobin. For example, a falsely low A1c result can occur in people with anemia, heavy bleeding.
4. A falsely elevated A1c result can occur in people who are very low in iron, for example, those with iron deficiency anemia.
5. Other causes of abnormal A1c results include kidney failure and liver disease
6. Health care providers can use the A1c test to monitor blood glucose levels in people with type 1 or
type 2 diabetes. The A1c test is not used to monitor gestational diabetes.
7. The American Diabetes Association (ADA) recommends that people with diabetes who are meeting treatment goals and have stable blood glucose levels should have the A1c test twice a year. Health care providers may repeat the A1c test as often as four times a year until blood glucose levels reach recommended levels.
8. The A1c test helps health care providers adjust medication to reduce the risk of long-term diabetes complications. Studies have demonstrated substantial reductions in long-term complications with the lowering of A1c levels.
9. When the A1c test is used for monitoring blood glucose levels in a person with diabetes, the blood sample can be analyzed in a health care provider's office using a POC test to give immediate results. However, POC tests are less reliable and not as accurate as most laboratory tests.
10. Estimated average glucose (eAG) is calculated from the A1c. It helps people with diabetes relate their A1c to daily glucose monitoring levels. The eAG calculation converts the A1c percentage to the same units used by home glucose meters i.e. milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL). The eAG number will not match daily glucose readings because it is a long-term average rather than the blood glucose level at a single time, as measured with the home glucose meter. (Diabetes Care 2011;34(Supp 1):S11–S61, Table 9)
A1c (%) eAG (mg/dL)
6 126
7 154
8 183
9 212
10 240
11 269
12 298
11. People will have different A1c targets depending on their diabetes history and their general health.
12. Studies have shown that people with diabetes can reduce the risk of diabetes complications by keeping A1c levels below 7%.
13. An A1c level that is safe for one person may not be safe for another. For example, keeping an A1c level below 7% may not be safe if it leads to problems with hypoglycemia.
14. Less strict blood glucose control, or an A1c between 7-8 % or even higher in some circumstances, may be appropriate in people who have limited life-expectancy; long-standing diabetes and difficulty attaining a lower goal; severe hypoglycemia and advanced diabetes complications such as chronic kidney disease, nerve problems, or cardiovascular disease
15. Large changes in a person's blood glucose levels over the past month will show up in their A1c test result, but the A1c does not show sudden, temporary increases or decreases in blood glucose levels. Even though the A1c represents a long-term average, blood glucose levels within the past 30 days have a greater effect on the A1c reading than those in previous months.

Changing Arguments For The Built-In Taxonomies In WordPress
With the following snippet you can change arguments for the built-in taxonomies in WordPress:
To modify arguments for the built-in taxonomies might not be a good idea unless you really know what you're doing. I'm doing this because (not sure since when) now WordPress won't let me display links from the
link_category taxonomy (remember Links Manager?) on its own template page (
One symptom I've noticed is that when I visited the link_category term page (like visiting http://SITE.COM/?link_category=links), it showed the index page template but not 404 page, which meant such route did exist just the data couldn't be shown public.
After some time-wasting trial and error I realized it's the default arguments keep the template from working. And the snippet above did the trick perfectly.
Hope it could save someone thirty or so minutes someday in the future. 😉
I'm a senior web developer helping clients build their websites to grow businesses. Currently I'm based in Taipei, Taiwan.
I write things about WordPress, AngularJS and life. Whenever you'd like to find someone to talk about these topics, just get in touch!

Magento Plugin [Deprecated]
Official support from Segment for this plugin is deprecated. The current version of this plugin should be free of bugs but any existing and future development will be paused for the time being. We recommend exploring and using third party alternatives.
We are currently looking for community maintainers! If you're interested in maintaining or contributing to our Magento plugin, we'll gladly send some Segment swag your way in return for any merged PRs. Don't forget to give us a heads up via our contact form when you submit a PR.
Our Magento extension lets you send your ecommerce analytics data to any of our integrations without writing any code yourself. You can be up and running with a complete ecommerce tracking setup in minutes!
The extension automatically collects information about the customer, which pages they visit, which products they add and remove from their cart, and which orders they complete.
Getting Started
The recommended way to install the Magento extension is via the Magento Connect marketplace:
- Inside your Magento Admin navigate to System > Magento Connect > Magento Connect Manager.
- Re-enter your login credentials.
- Under the Install New Extensions section, paste this key:
- Click the Install button, and the plugin should install automatically.
- Go back to your main Magento Admin, and navigate to System > Configuration.
- Choose the General > Analytics section from the sidebar.
- Expand the Segment section of the page, and paste in your source's Write Key and click Save Config.
That's it, you're done! You'll automatically be identifying customers and recording their actions as they move around your Magento store.
Now just turn on any of our integrations in Segment on your integrations page and we'll start sending your data to them for you!
Common Questions
What customer information does it record automatically?
We automatically identify customers that are logged in to your Magento store with all of the information stored about them in the Magento database. This includes fields like
gender, etc.
Which actions does it record automatically?
Just by installing the plugin, without touching any code, we'll already be recording events when the customer visits your store's pages, and when they perform certain Ecommerce-specific actions:
|When the customer views a product listing.
|When the customer views the reviews for a specific product.
|When the customer adds a product to their shopping cart.
|When the customer removes a product from their shopping cart.
|When the customer submits a review for a product.
|When the customer adds a product to their wishlist.
|When the customer completes an order.
|When the customer signs up for an account.
|When the customer logs in to their account.
|When the customer logs out of their account.
|When the customer searches for products.
|When the customer filters product listings.
Subscribed Newsletter
|When the customer subscribes to your newsletter.
We also automatically add useful properties to the events when applicable. For example, the
Order Completed event includes information about each product in the order, and the
Searched Products events include a
query property of what the customer searched for.
Tracking Custom Events
For the most basic install, you're already good to go. If you'd like to add your own custom tracking to your Magento store, you can add Javascript directly to any page.
Here's the Javascript you would add to track a custom event:
analytics.track('Shared Product', {
platform: 'Facebook',
name: 'Diplomacy',
category: 'Toys & Games',
manufacturer: 'Avalon Hill',
price: 22.68
The name of the event you're tracking. We recommend using
human-readable names like

For most of us, homelessness is difficult to understand. To be without a job, without resources, without life's basic necessities, without family and friends, is beyond our comprehension. But understanding the problem of homelessness is a critical first step to providing lasting solutions. That's why we've provided answers to some of the basic questions many of us share.
At Open Door Mission, we believe in coming alongside people experiencing homelessness and poverty, empathizing with their situation and speaking truth into their lives—that they are worthy, valued and created in the image of God. It's our passion, our calling. And we've been doing it, thanks to partners like you, since 1954.
Sheltering the homeless: These 48 major US cities face growing homeless populations
The U.S. homeless population grew in 2018 for the second straight year. New York City is among the biggest cities with the most unsheltered homeless.
Check out this story on USATODAY.com: https://www.
While new tax cuts went into effect last year, many provisions relating to charitable giving remain intact. Most prominently, qualifying donors can still make direct transfers to charities from individual retirement accounts (IRAs) without first having to recognize the distribution as income.
People over 70 1/2 years old are required to make minimum yearly distributions from their retirement accounts – distributions that are taxed by the government. But qualifying donors are still allowed to give up to $100,000 per year from these accounts to charity, which counts toward the minimum disbursement, without being taxed. You may make tax-free transfers from your IRA or Roth IRA if:
Transfers completed by December 31, 2019 will be free of federal income tax this year, and such gifts qualify for the 2019 required minimum distribution from donors' IRAs. Please act now to support Open Door Mission – and to fulfill your own charitable goals – by taking advantage of the planning options available to you.
If you would like us to coordinate with your fund custodian a direct transfer of funds from your IRA or Roth IRA to Open Door Mission, please contact our Chief Financial Officer, Mike Johnson, at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Thank you for considering this excellent charitable-giving opportunity!
The Open Door Mission team is praying for those directly affected by the recent flooding.
We have provided from our storehouse – linens, blankets, diapers, and bottled water to
agencies providing direct contact with those in need. Open Door Mission's 3 – Outreach Centers are listed with United Way's 2-1-1 Helpline in homeless prevention services as well as for those in need of resources. If you have been displaced by the flood or know someone who has, please click the get help button. Thanks to the generosity of the community, we provide groceries, diapers, toiletry kits, hygiene items, bottled water, household items, gently used toys, clothing, furniture, and appliances, etc. for free.
About 2,000 people are homeless in the Omaha area.
There are a wide variety of factors that might figure into someone experiencing homelessness. These include:
According to the Association of Gospel Rescue Missions' 2018 Snapshot Survey of people receiving services in 109 missions across North America:
In 2018, Open Door Mission graduated 47 men and women from life-changing programs. Bringing a homeless person off the street into a stable environment easily saved the public some $35,000 per student1 (a 2017 total of $1,855,000) and will produce an additional $21,745 in projected taxpayer savings and increased income taxes for the 92% that maintain job readiness and sobriety2 (here a weighted total of $1,065,505). The compiled savings in 2017? $2,920,505.
1This figure is on the low end of recent estimates. In 2012, HUD Secretary Shaun Donavan placed the cost of a homeless person at $40,000 a year. Phil Mangano, who served in the second Bush administration as its homelessness czar, conducted a survey of 65 cities and found that the cost ranged from $35,000 up to $150,000 per homeless person per year. We are calculating savings with the lower end figure.
2Baylor Institute for Studies of Religion, Assessing the Faith-Based Response to Homelessness in America: Findings from Eleven Cities, p. 139, 141 (table).
Open Door Mission cannot act as though the opening of a casino within a ten-minute walk of our campus would have no effect on the people we serve. The irony of the fact that we're making this statement during Problem Gambling Awareness Month is not lost on the men, women, and children who come to us for help every day.
Read our full statement reflecting the Mission's response.
Many panhandlers in the greater Omaha area are not homeless, and often bring home more money per day than those who are employed at a regular job. But it is costly to support panhandlers, whether or not they are homeless. Beyond those panhandlers who live through misrepresenting themselves, panhandlers who are actually homeless often have co-occurring addictions. The money a well-meaning person might give them almost inevitably ends up supporting a drug or alcohol addiction that can cost the public through an addicted panhandler's visit to the emergency room, or in jail for a misdemeanor committed under the influence.
Open Door Mission encourages the community at large to join in the Compassion Movement in two ways:

I may have done something rash in the 4th inning. In the 3rd, we had men at 1st and 2nd with nobody out and failed to score. We had a man on second with one out in the 4th and Shoppach hits the first pitch to shortstop for the out. I was fuming. I'm so tired of the roller coaster ride we have been on lately. We always seem to finish at the bottom of these rides. I was starting to get that sinking feeling. Yeah, that feeling. You know what I mean. That Cleveland is doomed never to win anything feeling. Then with 2 strikes Cabrera singled to center scoring Gutierrez. Lofton, Blake and Sizemore followed with two out hits of their own, and the Tribe was on the way to a victory. Gutierrez hit a no doubt about it homer in the 5th to plate Peralta and Hafner. Turns out we would need those runs and more as the Indians win 11-8.
Asdrubal Cabrera, Fausto Carmona, Franklin Gutierrez, and Rafael Perez are 4 names that the casual fan had not even heard of before the season began. Some would recognize Carmona as a failed closer. Nobody would have predicted that the Tribe's season would be in serious jeopardy if not for the contribution of these young players.
I've detailed Fausto's contribution more than most, so I'll leave that one alone for today. (Even though he is 5th in the league with a 3.11 era, is tied for the team lead with 14 wins, and is on pace to join C.C. as a 200 inning pitcher.) O.K. I'll stop…
Asdrubal Cabrera has only been with the team a few weeks, but has filled a gaping hole in the line-up created by the abysmal season Barfield is having. He is rock solid in the field, and his approach to each at-bat is refreshing. Tonight he got the ball rolling in that 4th, which might have saved me from having a heart attack as well.
Gutierrez has been the best glove and arm in right field, and has some pop in his bat. He has 9 homers in only 156 at bats. Nixon has 3 in 290 AB's. In fact Garko's homer ratio is 25.6 at bats per homer- Gutierrez averages only 17.3 at bats between his jacks.
Rafael Perez has been dominant coming out of the pen. His 1.85 era is second only to Bentancourt. He holds inherited runners, and has become the go to guy in the 7th or extra innings. Yeah, Cabrera Gutierrez and Perez saved my tv, but they just might save the Indians this year.

Let's not waste time with what brought you to Cape Town for a mere day, if you're down this far south you only have one responsibility: enjoy this amazing city to the fullest extent!
For the early birds...
Start your day off, outdoors. If you're feeling up to it,, enjoy a hike or even a run up Table Mountain. For those in search of an even greater challenge, try Lion's Head. The mornings in Cape Town offer the coolest temperatures that the city will experience all day so you'll want to take advantage by spending these hours outside. If Table Mountain isn't something that interests you, there are usually free yoga classes on the beach near the waterfront or you can join one of the many yoga & pilates studios around the Cape.
For those who wish to slow down...
Check out one of Cape Town's beautiful cafes. There is the famous Insomnia coffee if you want to jolt your heart into action with the strongest coffee in the world. There is also Scheckter's Raw for our vegan and more healthy-minded readers. After you've loaded up with some tasty breakfast, you can take a slow stroll around the V&A Waterfront or along Sea Point. Hopefully you haven't stayed in bed too long, and it isn't too warm yet.
For those who plan ahead . . .
You could be riding out to Robben Island, where you can talk to a former prisoner who will lead you around the prison. Nelson Mandela was once a resident of this famous island, so don't miss a chance to engage with this incredible part of South African history. Want another historical tidbit? Visit Mount Nelson Hotel for High Tea, where you can follow in the footsteps of other famous historical travel writers and indulge in a South African Milk Tart.
For those seeking relaxation outside of the city. . .
Luckily, Cape Town and its surrounding areas are host to beautiful wine resorts. Throughout Stellenbosch and its beautiful gardens like Kirstenbosch National Garden , you can relax with a glass of world-renown South African wine and soak it all in. At many of these gardens and wine resorts, keep in mind that many host movie nights or concerts that you can find out about online - so do you research! Don't forget to try local South African cuisine while you're there! This includes Biltong, South Africa's version of beef jerky.
For those city slickers . . .
Cape Town's downtown is crazy busy with activities to do. You can visit local historical landmarks while you walk down the famous Long Street. There are local bookstores to visit, cafes to try, more coffee to drink (that's right - Insomnia Coffee is in the area) and graffiti to photograph. If you want to head out a bit, try Bootlegger Cafe, a cafe famous for their delicious food, drinks and very free and fast wifi for you millennials.
For those looking to treat themselves . . .
Head to the Victoria and Albert Waterfront for a special dinner. Some of the most delicious restaurants are based here. After your meal of fresh seafood, end the night looking out over the ocean from high above in the ferris wheel, under the stars.
For those in need of a pick-me-up…
Of course it depends on what you're looking for when you read "pick-me-up." There are local yoga classes you can take until late in the evening to get your namaste on, or you can head out to a club in downtown Cape Town to spice things up.
Just make sure you get back to your hotel and get a good night's sleep for your plane ride tomorrow! There's a million other cafes and food markets to visit in this South African city, but you did as much as you could - so take comfort in that fact… and book another flight back as soon as you can.
When I first visited Cape Town in the warm summer months of December, I had no idea the city would quite literally steal my heart. After getting over the weird sensation of wearing shorts and dresses in what I consider a winter month, the city quickly became one of my favorites in the world. The beautiful views from Sea Point and challenging hikes to Lions Head are only two of the untouched parts of South Africa's landscape that stun and astound. Whether you walk down the Victoria & Albert Waterfront with its eclectic mix of beautiful restaurants or stroll down Long Street, you won't be able to resist trying everything the local vibrant culture has to offer.
Since I visited in 2016, I've been back three times and I've experienced just how different the Cape can be. If you want to relax, there's Stellenbosch - where you can visit vineyard after vineyard. More in the mood to breathe in that fresh Atlantic and Indian ocean air? Go for a hike up and around Table Mountain, visit Kirstenbosch National Garden or one of the many other parks. Even the foodies amongst us (myself included) cannot choose what to eat because there's just so much! If you crave healthy salads and fresh fruit, there are markets along the seaside and more sophisticated cafes in the city. High tea? Check. Fancy dinners to scratch your urges for steak? You're covered.
More interested in assimilating? Visit Insomnia Coffee to try the strongest coffee in the world . . . yes you read that right, the strongest coffee in the world! While you're buzzing, you can visit local indie bookstore, The Book Lounge, and pick up a book by local South African author, Zakes Mda.
Cape Town is one of the world's "in" tourist destinations right now so don't be surprised if the crowds are large. Don't worry - they're all conserving water just like you are (hint: Cape Town might be the world's first city to run out of water so be conscious when using water in your hotel room).
South Africa is well known for its apartheid past so don't miss visiting Robben Island, where Nelson Mandela was imprisoned. Endlessly fascinating, you'll find commemorative museums and statues of this national hero all around the city. For the history buffs in your friend group (aka all of us here at Sub-Stances), it's an illuminating paradise.
Once you've hiked all the trails, walked all of the streets and eaten all of the delicious Cape food, one thing will stick out: the people. Each time I visit this stunning city, I meet the kindest and most generous people who want to share their homes and lives with me. Disclaimer: I did meet my boyfriend here so I may be a bit biased. It gives weight to that old adage - "it's not the place, but the people that make any place truly home." So whether you're in search of a party, outdoor adventure or simply to check another city off of your list, you'll find that Cape Town has a way of sneaking into your heart. And don't worry, it's not going anywhere.
Take a moment out of your day to read about the devastating impact of climate change on the Lake Chad area.
2017 can be seen as a dark year in our contemporary history. It was a year filled with environmental catastrophes, political change and the growing problem of the Islamic State. But we've had enough of bad news. It's time to spread light on the good things that shaped this year. These positive events are often less talked about or even completely ignored. In this article we will try to review some of this past year's positive events and promising initiatives.
JANUARY 01, 2017: Dutch electric trains to run exclusively on green energy.
In the beginning of January, a spokesman of the Dutch national railway company NS declared that 100% of their electric trains were powered by wind energy, coming from windmills. The goal of the company was to reach that percentage by January 2018, but they actually achieved it a year earlier! The ENECO and NS companies declared that their 600,000 daily passengers were the first in the world to travel thanks to wind energy. They also declared that one windmill working for one hour could provide a train with enough energy to run for 120 miles. They hope to even decrease that amount of necessary energy by 2020.
MARCH 08, 2017: Iceland becomes the first country to eradicate the gender pay gap.
Iceland has now made it mandatory for companies of more than 25 employees to prove they pay their staff the same amount, regardless of gender, sexuality, ethnicity or nationality. Women should then enjoy the same salary as men for a same job. However, this move is part of a larger movement to completely eradicate the gender pay gap in Iceland over five years (so, by 2022). Although women were still being paid 14 to 18% less than men before this year, Iceland has long been engaged in giving equal rights to both genders and to fight inequality towards women. It has been ranked first country of the world in terms of performance on closing their overall gender gap for the ninth year in a row, by the World Economic Forum.
MAY 07, 2017: Emmanuel Macron wins the French presidential election.
This one is, of course, all relative. Not everybody wanted Macron to win, and many people are unhappy about his current domestic policies. But, the only alternative in this election was Marine Le Pen, who truly represents the most far-rights movements of Europe right now. We are aware and respect that many people voted for her and wanted her to win, however, many more people also saw her as a very dangerous threat for their country, and for Europe. Emmanuel Macron, regardless of his flaws, is a strong European-believer and is firmly engaged in the fight against climate change; Two things that Le Pen clearly opposed.
JUNE 30, 2017: Simone Veil dies at age 89.
Alright, this one is not good news, but we will try to use this moment to remember the battles and to salute the courage of this incredible woman. Simone Veil was a Holocaust survivor and one of France's most influential states women. She survived Auschwitz concentration camp, and in 1974 became health minister of France. She fought for the legalisation of contraception and abortion. Her precursor work on the rights of women has marked the French political scene. Overcoming political and personal obstacles, she managed to pass abortion rights under the "Veil Law" name. In 1973, she gave a resounding speech on the right to voluntarily interrupt pregnancy before the French National Assembly, at the time, mostly constituted of men. Her speech is still often referred to and became one of those legendary speeches that marked their time. Simone Veil was a strong pioneering feminist and a firm pro-european believer. She served as health minister from 1974 to 1979 and again from 1993 to 1995. In 1979 she became the first president of the European Parliament and held that position until 1982.
JUNE 30: Germany legalises gay marriage. Finland and Australia as well.
After Angela Merkel dropped her long-standing opposition to same-sex marriage, the German Parliament passed the law, allowing everybody to unite under the same rights and to adopt children. Civil partnership has been legal in Germany since 2001, but full rights to get married were voted only this year. As the leader of the CDU (Christian Democrat Party), Angela Merkel has long been opposing gay rights, but she recently changed her mind, and allowed a snap vote.
Actually Finland passed the gay marriage legislation before Germany. On March 1st, the government of Finland legalized same sex marriage and the right to adopt. It was the last of the Nordic countries to legalize gay marriage. However, for now only civil marriage is allowed for all, as the traditional church wedding is still restricted to heterosexual couples.
On December 07, Australia also passed a historic bill legalizing same-sex marriage, prompting immediate celebrations in the parliament and throughout the country. After his speech on gay marriage, one MP proposed to his partner in the parliament.
JULY 06, 2017: France and the UK plan to ban petrol and diesel vehicles by 2040.
France's new environment minister, Nicolas Hulot, declared that France would stop using vehicles that depended on petrol and diesel by 2040, as part of an environmental plan. This announcement is part of a five-year plan focused on clean energy, decided under the Paris Agreement. This also came after Volvo declared they would only produce electric cars from 2019 on. Poorer households should receive an allowance to exchange their polluting vehicle for a green alternative one. Moreover, the entire country also plans to stop using coal as a source of electricity by 2022. The British government also announced in July that it would ban all petrol and diesel-fuelled cars and vans by 2040, in order to tackle air pollution. Similarly, the Netherlands and Norway have also said that they wanted to ban all combustion-powered vehicles by 2025, and Germany and India aim to do it by 2030.
AUGUST 29, 2017: Successful test for the Ocean Cleanup project.
Back in 2013, young Boyan Slat came up with the idea of creating a new technology to clean the oceans. At first, his idea seemed to be unrealistic, but he received funding and started his non-profit organization. After several successful tests in the North Sea, the Ocean Cleanup project should be fully implemented in May 2018 in the North Pacific gyre. The technology is based on a passive drifting system that absorbs all plastics contained in the ocean, thanks to the natural currents. The organization has the respectable ambition to clean up half of the Great Pacific plastic pollution in a 5-years time.
SEPTEMBER 26, 2017: Saudi Arabia announces the end of the ban on women driving.
It was the last country in the world to forbid women to drive, and on September 26, King Salman released a decree that will end the law. The order should be implemented on June 24, 2018. This event prompted great celebrations amid feminists and women who have been fighting for their right to drive for decades. The ambassador confirmed that women would now have the right to drive wherever they liked and that they would not need a man's permission to take driving lessons. Moreover, on December 11, Saudi Arabia also lifted the ban on cinemas after 35 years in effect, causing immediate joy amongst film lovers, directors and movie industry workers. The theaters should start showing films in March 2018.
OCTOBER 06, 2017: ICAN is awarded the 2017 Nobel Peace Prize.
The threat of a nuclear war weighs upon us all. Many countries are still in possession of nuclear weapons and, lately, North Korea and the United States have threatened to use their respective arsenals. Complete annihilation of nuclear weapons seems a long way away but organizations like ICAN still continue to fight for it. Last year, the Nobel Prize committee decided to award the 2017 Nobel Peace Prize to the ICAN (International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons) organization for "its work to draw attention to the catastrophic humanitarian consequences of any use of nuclear weapons and for its ground-breaking efforts to achieve a treaty-based prohibition of such weapons" ("The Nobel Peace Prize 2017". Nobelprize.org. 2 Jan 2018).
DECEMBER 09, 2017: Iraq declares victory over ISIS.
Iraqi Prime Minister Haider Al-Abadi declared in August that the armed forces have regained control over the ISIS occupied areas of Tal Afar and Nineveh. Although not the entire country has been liberated, most of it has been. This marks a real progress in the war against the Islamic States that has been ravaging Iraq for three years. This past year, the Iraqi military has reclaimed several cities and provinces from the terrorist group. On July 09, Mosul, the capital of the Nineveh province, was liberated. Following that, Raqqa was liberated on October 17, although completely destroyed.And, on December 09, the Prime Minister declared that the entire country had been liberated and that they had re-taken control of the Iraqi-Syrian border. Even though some terrorists are presumably still active in a small province of Iraq and that some others could still be hiding in the country, this declaration is a significant event.
DECEMBER 18, 2017: "The Silence Breakers" are TIME magazine's person of the year.
The MeToo hashtag launched by Alyssa Milano on Twitter followed the Harvey Weinstein scandal. This year, more women than ever before started to speak out about sexual harassment. The American show business industry was the starting point of many accusations of sexual assaults. Then, millions of women shared their experiences on social media and reported their attacker. Sexual harassment is a deep problem rooted in our societies, and even if none of this is normal, it was often explained as "socially acceptable". The MeToo campaign changed this perception. This year, the TIME magazine decided to honour all these courageous women who decided to follow the movement and to speak out.
DECEMBER 31, 2017: Ban on ivory trade in China enters into force.
China had declared earlier this year that it would progressively ban the ivory trade market throughout the country before the end of 2017. African ivory is widely pleaded in China, as it is seen as a status symbol. However, the illegal ivory trade has dramatic consequences in the African savanna. Thousands of wild elephants and rhinos are being poached each year causing severe issues in the local biodiversity. Activists see this move as a "gamechanger", that could prevent the species from extinction. Nevertheless, now that the Chinese market is closed, Hong Kong could well become the traffickers' new target to import illegal ivory on the legal ivory market.
SPECIAL MENTION to these people who restored our faith in humanity.
On April 11, Saffiyah Khan stepped in to defend a muslim woman who was being surrounded by EDL protesters (far-right movement) during a demonstration in Birmingham.
On November 10, Kate McClure created a GoFundMe account to help homeless man, Johnny Bobbitt, who selflessly gave her his last 20$ when she needed gas to go back home safely. She wanted to pay him back and created a funding campaign to help him get back on tracks. She has raised over 400,000$ so far!
In December 2017, a man saved a wild rabbit from the fire ravaging California.

Environmental catastrophes kept flowing and the reign of terror kept striking everywhere. But fortunately, 2017 was not only about tragic stories. Even though negative events are often the only aspect of our life that is featured in media, some courageous souls are working towards making the world a better place. We'll be posting an article in the next days, about all good things that happened this past year, watch out for it!
And you? What 2017 event marked you the most? Have you experienced one of them? Leave your comments and impressions and don't hesitate to share.

Across the African continent there are thousands of non-governmental organizations (NGOs), who aim to promote and increase the living standards of community members.
Some NGO's focus solely on education, whereas others focus on making clean water readily available to local communities. Regardless, all NGOs, have a common objective to better the lives of locals and leave an impact. While all NGOS aim to create impacts there are limited programs that are capable of success has a lasting impact that can be sustained by communities for years to come.
Into Your Hands Africa (IYHA), an NGO that works throughout rural Uganda, has implemented programs that are all focused on education that can be passed on. Into Your Hands has many programs, however their Community Development Associations (CDA) directly impacts community members, who in turn have had the ability to impact many more hands—so to speak.
This program is broken down into three key phases- educational workshops, exposure visits to demonstration farms, and implementation through group formation and mentorship. A few, select beneficiaries, also are given subsidies in the form of seedlings or livestock to help kickstart their own farms. The key phases are emphasized because they all based on education and learning the necessary traits of both sustainable agriculture, but also sustainable business techniques.
This program has a domino effect because annually recipients learn, but also former recipients are able to extend their knowledge to more people within their community, and teach them how to start their own businesses and play a role in community's economy. It is an effort that has lead to communities growing together, because they can look intrinsically and use the tools they have cultivated through various workshops to not only make a better life for their family, but also a better life for their whole community.
The Community Development Association is largely focused on moving from subsistence farming to commercial agriculture and animal husbandry to promote economic growth. Piloted in 2016, this program already has had an incredible and powerful turnout and will continue to do so. The CDA had an initial turnout of 326 community members from the sub-counties of Ndagwe and Kisekka who participated in the educational workshops delivered by Into Your Hands. The workshops are lead by three main facilitators, a livestock veterinary, a specialist in crop production, and community development officer—each experts in their respective fields.
The constant focus is using education to inspire community members. On top of the purely educational workshops locals also attend inspire workshops at successful farms. This gives them the chance to ask questions, to gain further knowledge and use ideas others have successfully implemented.
When 326 people learn something and they implement it at home they immediately teach their families and close friends as well. The Community Development Association in turn has impacted an additional 1630 community members. From one hand to the next, learning is passed on.

Landing Pages
Danielle posted a topic in Website Design & DevelopmentWhat do you use for creating landing pages for your clients. Do you have Lead Pages? Or something simliar? Do you make them from scratch using HTML? I currently make all mine via HTML but would like to look at other options to speed up the process. Lead Pages looks great but it costs quite a bit a month and I don't make enough landing pages for it to be worth it. Here's a bunch of free templates I found too if anyone is interested: http://blog.leadpages.net/the-ultimate-list-of-free-landing-page-templates/

Private colleges given go-ahead to to seek a high court ruling on plans to cut student visas
Student visa cuts to be challenged in high court
16 August 2011
Private colleges have been given the go-ahead to mount a legal challenge against government plans to cut student visas, The Guardian reported yesterday.
According to The Guardian, deputy high court judge Charles George, QC, gave the Association of UK Private Schools and Colleges permission to seek a high court ruling.
Private colleges say the plans to cut non-EU student visa numbers are "disproportionate", "arbitrary" and "severe".
The Guardian reports that Charles George, QC, said that the association had an "arguable" case, but he added that he believed college bosses would face an "uphill task".

I have a hundred marked up pages of "Otters In Space" to work through, but, instead, I've been spending all my free time on a short story. There's something about the returning sunshine that always make me want to write new things. I've heard a lot of people say that the winters in Seattle are good for creativity -- there's nothing to do but stay home and write. I haven't found that for myself. The darkness makes me hibernate, creatively. Editing is okay, but I just don't feel like writing new things when the sun goes down at 4:30, and it probably spent the three hours it was actually in the sky behind clouds anyway.

It has been complete chaos in my house this past week, I've had to deal with builders, electricians, landlords, neighbours, and more on a day to day basis. I've had to converse with people I don't know which is one of my biggest triggers with my mental health, I've been on a very steep learning curve when it comes to interacting with them, and I'm not quite sure how I'm handling it.
It's all for the greater good, I will finally have my bathroom fixed after four years of complaining, I will finally have working heating installed, and I can finally stop spending around £60 a week on electricity in winter. Hopefully, I won't have to move to another house after looking for almost a year, and I can stop worrying about attending a property tribunal.Read More »
