This is a beta plugin that might one day be part of the WordPress core. Please don't use this on production websites unless you're happy with the stability as some things may still be experimental.
For information on the progress of this plugin, please refer to the Trac ticket or you can get involved on the GitHub repository.
How to use?
After activating the plugin, you need to go to the profile edit page from admin backend.
You can see a Darkmode titled checkbox field.
You need to check the field and save the settings.
There are many hooks and filters available within the Dark Mode plugin which allow you to extend it's capabilities with small amounts of code. Please see the GitHub wiki pages for more information.
To learn how you can make your own plugins compatible with Dark Mode, please read the compatibility guide located on the GitHub Repository.
If you would like to contribute to the development of this plugin, please read contributing.md
Whilst Dark Mode has been translated into a few different languages already, we need your help! If you have just five minutes to spare, please consider translating Dark Mode into your language today.
Automatic Dark Mode
Automatic Dark Mode was removed from the plugin in version 2.0 but don't worry, it's still available on GitHub for those that want it back.
Privacy Policy
Dark Mode uses Appsero SDK to collect some telemetry data upon user's confirmation. This helps us to troubleshoot problems faster & make product improvements.
Appsero SDK does not gather any data by default. The SDK only starts gathering basic telemetry data when a user allows it via the admin notice. We collect the data to ensure a great user experience for all our users.
Integrating Appsero SDK DOES NOT IMMEDIATELY start gathering data, without confirmation from users in any case.
Learn more about how Appsero collects and uses this data.
- Upload the plugin package to the plugins directory.
- 管理画面にログインし、プラグインを有効化します。
- Go to your profile and enable Dark Mode.
このプラグインはどういった機能を提供しますか ?
By default, WordPress has a very bright color scheme which means working at night time can be difficult. Dark Mode allows you to change the overall design to a much darker and subtle design making it more visually pleasing when working late.
Does this support multi sites?
Yes, the network administration areas have been styled accordingly to ensure a smooth, darker interface across your WordPress experience.
Can I set it to come on automatically?
Having Dark Mode come on automatically between certain times was a feature in this plugin that has since been removed as of version 2.0. Don't worry though, there is a helper plugin available which brings this functionality back.
Why was the automatic feature removed?
A lot more work was needed to ensure that it is stable, and it didn't fit in with the original plan of the Dark Mode feature. It is still available as an additional plugin if you'd like it back though.
プラグインに貢献できますか ?
Yes, you can please open an issue or submit a pull request. All suggestions, feedback and code contributions are most welcome!

Self Performance Review for the Independent Contractor
Whether you've been an independent for years or just finishing up your first contract, it's never a bad idea to stop and take a look at how well you are doing. Self performance reviews can serve as a useful tool by giving you the opportunity to objectively reflect on your performance, consider what you've done well and where you've fallen short.
As your own boss, your self evaluation is for your eyes only so be honest with yourself. By focusing on what is working well you can outline your future professional goals, build your success and boost your confidence. It's important to reflect on how your career has changed and matured to better understand what has worked, what hasn't and what services could use some improvement. Evaluate your skill sets to determine if future training is an important step to take in the upcoming months or years. Carefully review mistakes and errors you've made and determine ways to avoid them in the future.
As an independent, it is helpful to develop a custom self performance review that best suits the service you provide. You can find a wide range of self performance questions online or pull from the below list that we have put together for you.
- What were some important accomplishments this past year? What went well?
- Which projects were your favorites? Why?
- Which projects were the most successful? Why?
- Which accomplishments and projects should be added to your resume, online profiles or website?
- Which of your skills lead to the most rewarding projects?
- Which skills were used the most this past year? How have they developed?
- Which skills were not used? Are these skills deteriorating?
- Have you been keeping up with what areas of your field are in demand and what areas are growing?
- What type of professional development courses or training would help you be successful in the coming year?
- Have you seen any changes in your industry or specific field this past year? How might they affect you?
- What changes might you have to make in the next couple of years to stay on top of the market?
- Did you receive your target bill rate this year? If not, what might be holding you back from getting the rate you want?
- How are your relationships with clients? What factors have contributed to the most successful relationships?
- Are clients living up to the contract terms? If not, what actions should be taken?
- How are your written and oral communication skills? What improvements could be made?
- What characteristics proved to be your best strengths? How can you build on these?
- What characteristics showed to be a weakness? How can you improve on these?
- How is the administration of your business going? Invoicing, collections, payroll, benefits and pension?
- Are there any pre-tax benefits you missed out on last year? How can you take better advantage of pre-tax dollars in the future?
- Have you been able to maintain a healthy work/life balance? Are there any personal interests you'd like to better pursue this year?
Have you ever conducted a self performance review? Let us know your most helpful questions by leaving a comment.

4 summer exterior homeware trends
PUBLISHED: 10:36 24 May 2016 | UPDATED: 10:36 24 May 2016
Whether your home has a patio, porch or a garden, make the most of your outdoor space during the warmer months. Sarah Hammill gets the inside track on how to help create a sensational exterior this summer
An outdoor cooker is an ideal way to bring friends and family together to sample a range of delicious BBQ recipes for some fuss-free, alfresco dining. Sam Cook, director of Colne Stoves, comments: 'Big Green Eggs are a phenomenon and were last summer's must-have garden accessory, so we are delighted to have them available at Colne Stoves. Nothing beats the taste of cooking on natural charcoal, but people have moved towards the quick convenience of gas barbeques. This is where the Big Green Egg differs to normal barbeques as you can be ready to cook in under 15 minutes. It also isn't just a barbeque, as it can roast just like an oven. It can also be a low and slow smoker and it cooks pizzas to die for! Nothing beats the flavour of food cooked on the Egg and with five different sizes to choose from, there is one to suit all sizes of garden and appetite.'

Enjoy the arrival of the warmer weather with an elegant outdoor dining set, paired with a large parasol to shade you from sunshine and keep food fresh. Robert London, managing director of Hatfields, comments: 'The Barbados resin weave collection has a timeless and innovative look that appeals to all age groups. Using aluminium frames which are hand-woven with a resin weave extrusion, together with a glass top for the tables, we are able to offer a beautiful selection of products ideal for the modern day requirements many are seeking. This stylish range of sofa and dining sets are perfect for entertaining and would suit every type of garden or sun room.'

Aluminium windows have gained in popularity in recent years, overtaking PVC as the material of choice due to their durability, flexibility, weather resistance and their modern, stylish finish. Marc Emmerson, director of Hadleigh Glass, comments: 'For a stylish interior and to make the most of your garden views, aluminium is recommended. It has an ultra-thin light frame, for minimum aesthetic interruption. The quality systems we use mean peace of mind for the security of your home and our frames come in a range of colours and finishes so they can be suited to any home and décor.'

High quality fencing not only offers security and privacy, but also enhances a property, defining areas and breathing life into your garden, so choosing the right design is important. Jimmy Barker, in-house gate maker from Dunmow Fencing Supplies, comments: 'Dunmow Fencing can make wooden gates to fit any sized gap, from contemporary garden gates to classic five-bar gates designed to keep livestock in. Finding the style of garden gate you like in the size you need is not always easy, but at Dunmow Fencing Supplies we can make good quality, made to measure gates at surprisingly affordable prices.'

Christmas Traditions! by DL Larson
Each year my husband and I make a "memory book" for our granddaughters Alex and Kylie. We started this the year they were born and have enjoyed documenting each year as it unfolds. This will be our eighth memory book. Sometimes we put pictures and stories in a photo album, other years we have taken our selections to be laminated and bound. Each year we write a little something in the new memory book. Sometimes it's silly, other times more meaningful depending on the year and what has happened. The book is our special gift at Christmas. I don't know if it's a gift just for them, their parents or for us! It is relatively inexpensive, yet priceless. A year's worth of memories are stored and preserved, and just like many mothers and grandmothers too, if there was a fire in the house, I'd be running to save our memory books. Silly, I know, but that's how precious they have become to me.
In an economy where our budgets are smaller, many are turning to alternative ideas for gift giving. One gift giving project my family did for over a dozen years was drawing names with each other. There were five of us. We couldn't buy the present, we had to hand make it. My kids groaned at first, but it grew to be a special time for secrets and an imagination stretching experience. We still use the first present I ever received. My husband drew my name and on Christmas Eve we all presented our gifts to each other. I had to go outside to recieve mine. It was cold and snowy, but out we went, clomping down the slippery steps and I noticed right away the barnyard was lit up. I remember all five of us standing there in the cold dark looking up. On top the silo (a 60 foot storage bin) was a Christmas Star about four feet wide. It shone down on the whole countryside neighborhood. We've used our Christmas star for over twenty years now and it's my favorite Christmas ornament.
Spending money is not what Christmas is all about. It's about spending all right, spending time with family and friends, spending time reflecting on what's important in our lives. I spend time giving thanks and praise to the Almighty. I spend my energy prioritizing ~ what is really important to me? What do I want to do that's meaningful this Christmas? My answers vary, just as they do every Christmas.
What about you? What is meaningful for you this Christmas season?
Til next time ~
DL Larson
PS: The top picture is my granddaughter Kylie, the second is our Alex. They are singing at the church Christmas program! Another of my favorite things!

They're adorable! Memory books are a great thing to have. I used to keep photo albums, but being disorganized won out.

Definition Fundamental analysis
When it comes to predicting foreign exchange and other rates, the science of fundamental analysis involves considering a variety of relevant economic and political factors for a currency relative to the other currency.
A fundamental analyst will periodically review as many of these points as possible for each currency and then compare the two to make a forecast. In general, such forecasts are not specific objective figures for the exchange rate, but a general trend-setting outlook on the currency pair.
For example, their outlook may be positive, negative or neutral after analysis. This would mean that the analyst expects the exchange rate for the currency pair to rise, fall, or remain constant.
In addition, if some new fundamental information suddenly enters the forex market, it can lead to significant market movement and volatility as traders respond to the new information. At such moments, the basic assumption of market equilibrium that all information is priced into the price of the underlying no longer applies. This situation continues until the market has processed the new information.
If you have a trading system based on purely technical indicators, this is really important because a number of important fundamental factors can and often influence market movements, which can lead to unexpected results when trading systems based on technical analysis.
Therefore, it is really worth knowing what impact such important basic information could have so that a quick assessment of the likely future direction can be made.
Important fundamentals are regularly published by relevant authorities or agencies (e.g. Ifo Institute). This statistical data is eagerly awaited by the Exchange and its participants.
The value of the figures to be published is divided into different groups. Labour market figures from the USA, for example, have a higher weighting on the global stock and currency markets, especially the EUR/USD exchange rate, than those from Brazil.
Among the basic data elements that will have the most impact on a country's currency and a brief description of their likely impact are the following:
Key economic factors
Many traders conduct a daily review of the economic calendars for the currency pairs in which they hold positions. This is because the publication of such key information can often lead to significant short-term volatility in the forex market and to short-term mood swings.
A list of the major economic factors that are regularly covered in the latest news and that can move the market when published is provided below:
Interest rates:
A key element in the valuation of one currency against another. When interest rates are increased, the country's currency becomes more attractive against other currencies with lower interest rates.
Employment data:
If a country employs an increasing percentage of its citizens, its currency will become stronger. These indicators are typically in the form of unemployment claims, pay slips or a country's unemployment rate.
If the country is in an inflationary business cycle, as indicated by the consumer and producer price indices, the CPI and the PPI, this would increase the likelihood that the central bank of that country would raise interest rates to contain the rise in inflation. An increase in interest rates would tend to revalue the currency.
Gross Domestic Product (GDP):
Represents the total number of goods and services produced by a country and reflects economic growth.
Industrial production:
A strong industrial base will tend to strengthen a nation's currency.
Retail sales:
Strong retail sales are generally favorable for one currency and the country's economy as a whole.
Consumer Price Index (CPI):
A measure of inflation. Rising inflation in a country suggests that national central banks may soon tighten interest rates and thus tend to let their currency appreciate.
Trade or currency account balance:
A trade or current account surplus or deficit either favors the exchange rate for the country with a surplus or weakens the rate for the country with a trade deficit.
Another economic factor that directly affects exchange rates. If a country has borrowed excessive amounts of money from other nations or from the IMF, its currency will certainly reflect the country's high indebtedness.
Other factors
Changes in the country's gross domestic product or GDP that are a useful measure of growth. A growing economy tends to strengthen a currency.
The level of short-term interest rates, such as the Fed funds rate, in the country of origin of the currency influences exchange rates, as higher interest rates provide an investment incentive that should strengthen the currency.
The country's trade and current account balance may affect exchange rates as persistent trade or current account deficits tend to devalue the country's currency.
Impact on supply and demand:
Significant capital flows into one currency and out of another, perhaps as a result of large corporate transactions or managed portfolio shifts, can shift the exchange rate for the currency pair in favor of the currency that sees the higher demand.
Monetary policy:
Due to the impact of monetary policy on interest rates, this is an important element in the valuation of a currency. A tighter monetary policy that implies higher interest rates, while a swallow-heavy or loose monetary policy indicates lower interest rates.
Political influences:
Currencies of countries with stable governments are preferred by investors over countries with less favorable political conditions. Greater fiscal responsibility also tends to support a country's currency, while excessive government spending tends to weaken its currency.
Commodity price:
The prices of important commodities such as gold and oil tend to affect the valuation of the currencies of their major exporters and importers. For example, higher oil prices help the (GBP) British Pound and the (CAD) Canadian Dollar, while they damage the US Dollar and the Japanese Yen, whose countries import oil. In addition, the higher gold prices tend to have a positive effect on the AUD (Australian Dollar) and the close link to the NZD (New Zealand Dollar), as Australia exports this precious metal and its currency will benefit from a rise in the gold value.

We were thrilled to receive the news this week that Henriette (Year 10), has been announced as Bavarian Champion in the unicycle Pair and Small Group competitions.
Henriette, who started at St Leonards in August this year, competed in the event alongside partner Verena, with the duo demonstrating the best performance across all age groups.
To add to her success, Henriette, who also secured the World Champion title in long jump at the Unicycling World Championships in August, will travel to Germany in December for the large group qualification ahead of the 2020 World Championships.
An absolutely outstanding achievement, and we look forward to seeing many more great things from our very own unicycling star.

Fylde MP Mark Menzies has urged the Government to press ahead with its future fighter programme, to help protect existing, and create new jobs at BAE Systems' Warton plant.
Mr Menzies wrote to the Secretary of State for Defence to ask what progress his Department has made on the future fighter programme.
Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Defence Stuart Andrew, told him: "Since the announcement of the Combat Air Strategy at the Farnborough Airshow in July, the Ministry of Defence has established a team, based in Head Office to lead the acquisition of next generation Combat Air capability.
"This team has achieved the first major milestone laid out in Strategy - delivery of the Strategic Outline (Business) Case by the end of 2018. In parallel, the team has established new fora to explore and understand opportunities for collaboration on next generation Combat Air capability with international partners.
Mr Menzies also asked what steps the Government was taking at present to support exports in the aerospace industry.
The minister replied: "The Ministry of Defence and other Government Departments continue to work closely with the UK aerospace industry to champion our world leading industrial base overseas and to identify new opportunities for export and long-term capability collaboration."
Mr Menzies said: "I am pleased to see the Government pressing ahead with the future fighter programme.
"The skilled workforce at Warton, and in support businesses across Lancashire, helped create the greatest fighter plane in the world in the Typhoon.
"They are also building the tail section of the new F35 at Warton and Samlesbury, and I want the Government to ensure we continue building the best aircraft in the world.
"The future fighter programme will protect jobs, protect our skills base, and ensure we have the capability to continue building world-leading aircraft."

Different teams need different types of collaboration
There is no one size fits all approach, and sometimes trying to force a single platform that works across the whole company may not work. We tend to see collaboration working across three tiers:
Fortunately, there are lots of solutions across all these tiers that don't need to cost you an arm and a leg. We'll dive in and explore some options, but this is by no means an exhaustive list!
The Tools
So where to from here?
Many of these tools work together well, so it's often best to decide on the ecosystem first (Google vs Microsoft or something else entirely). Once you've narrowed the list, you can evaluate many of these tools for free or very cheaply before committing the entire business.
Above all, don't overthink it – once you start implementing these tools your staff will learn quickly and make them their own.
We're here to help! Phone to discuss our products, services and pricing options.

The world of IT can be daunting and frustrating at times - but we are here to help make your life easier.
We pride ourselves on being a one stop shop to fulfill your IT needs.

Cape Town - Former England batsman Kevin Pietersen says opener Keaton Jennings should be dropped for the Test series against Sri Lanka later this year.
Jennings averages less than 23 after a dozen Tests - and didn't strike one half-century in nine attempts during the recent five-match series against India.
The veteran Alastair Cook, meanwhile, has retired from international cricket.
If Jennings is sidelined, England will have an all-new opening combination against the Sri Lankans.
"Jennings can't bat, I'm sorry," Pietersen told talkSPORT.
"They are going to have to find somebody else. Cook is a big loss. I know he has been wishy-washy over the last couple of months but he finished on a fairy tale ending, which is brilliant for him but to replace that kind of guy at the top of the order, it is going to be difficult.
"I just don't see county cricket producing Test cricketers at the moment. The issue is deep-rooted. All the best players in the world now are not playing county cricket. They are earning their cash in franchise cricket. Therefore, the standard of county cricket isn't great, the standard of county batsmen is poor, and it is causing a massive issue in cabs on the rank for batting places."
Pietersen suggested limited-overs batsman Jason Roy be trialled at Test level. Roy has gathered relative success after 65 ODIs and 31 T20Is, but has not yet played the longest form of the international game.
"I like Jason Roy. He has got oomph, he has got guts, he has got runs at the top of the order in Australia. He scored that brilliant 180 at the MCG. It is about how guys score their runs and what their personalities are like. I would be all for Roy at the top of the order with Rory Burns," he added.

O God of inexpressible mercy, who gloriously enabled the most blessed king Edmund to overcome the enemy by dying for your name, grant, in your mercy, to us your servants that by his intercession we may overcome and extinguish the temptations of the old enemy, through Christ our Lord. Amen.

New JCVD trailer online
We have a new trailer for JCVD, starring Jean-Claude Van Damme. Usually those words would fill you with dread, but this film looks rather good.
Van Damme plays himself, a role even he can manage. You can see the new trailer inside.
JCVD has Jean-Claude Van Damme as an aging action star, who is finding life increasingly difficult. With work unsatisfying and money drying up, he finds himself in a strange situation. The trailer is below from /film.
It looks like it's been cut slightly different to the earlier trailer. Seems a bit more serious. This might be the first Van Damme film since Universal Soldier that I watch. Oh, I forgot about Timecop, but there's a reason for that...What do you think of the trailer?

Social media in the workplace. I imagine there are still places that ban (or try to) it. I get it–I often find myself, in the middle of a task, cruising around on Facebook, and think "how did I get here??" But by that point, I've lost 5 minutes I'll never get back…
Many workplaces, I'm sure, believe that social media is bad for productivity. I just think we waste time in different ways today. In the past, it might have been a water cooler conversation, or a smoke break. Today, it's Facebook or Instagram. It could be a lot worse.
Having said that, let's look at how you can use your employee's time on Facebook for the good of your company. Here are 4 ways to get your employees to help with your Social Media:
1. Build your numbers: make it a rule that all employees have to "like" the company's Facebook page and follow them on Twitter and Instagram.
2. Give your Posts a push: Give them time once a day or once a week to check into the accounts and like, comment on or share Facebook posts, or RT Tweets, or like and comment on Instagram posts. You see, you can use your paid employees to give your posts a push. Social proof lies in numbers on Insta and Twitter, but on Facebook, it's even more important, as it factors into FB's algorithm. The more likes, comments and shares a post gets, the more views it gets, so use your employees to give it that oomph.
3. Have employees share company social media: You can ask them to do a #FollowFriday on Twitter and/or Instagram for your company. They could also share your company's Facebook page to their own personal FB profile, with a request to their friends, asking for Likes to the page.
4. Use your employees to gather information: chances are, you have one person inside your company who is responsible for the social media. They run your feeds. Chances are also good that this person is responsible for both created content (like sharing your blog posts, for example) and curated content (which is content related to your brand, but that comes from other sources). Curating content is a big job, and it takes a lot of time. You can create a system where, if your employees find an interesting article they think might be good to share on the company's social media, they know how to do so. It could be something as simple as a public google doc everyone has access to, or you could simply give everyone the email address of the person in charge of the social media feeds and say "any time you find something interesting on the web, send it here." You could also use an internal messaging system if you have one. This is a great way to crowdsource information.
There you have it! Four ways you can get your employees to work for you on social media. All those hours of looking at cat videos at work have got to be good for something, right??

Ever since Duluth and the Twin Ports were highlighted on the Food Network and Guy Fieri's "Diners, Dives, and Drive-Ins" earlier this year, we have guests arrive with one of the highlighted restaurants on their "must do" list. So we decided that we wanted to pull together the addresses and provide our guests with a map to each of these places. After recently attending a Bed and Breakfast conference, I learned a very cool way of pulling together a Google Map for area attractions near the A G Thomson House Duluth Bed and Breakfast. We are so close to many other sites and venues in Duluth, Canal Park, the North Shore of Lake Superior, and the Twin Ports region, that we think this will be a great tool and convenience for our guests.
I have just started working on these maps, and am happy to report that we now have a Google map for the Duluth and Twin Ports "Dives, Diners, and Drive-Ins", as well as a Google map to the region's colleges and universities. Both maps should be useful and convenient for guests looking for a "celebrity" restaurant and for parents whose kids are attending one of our local colleges. The A G Thomson House Bed and Breakfast is located near our two major schools; the University of Minnesota – Duluth and the College of St. Scholastica.
So to give you a preview of these cool maps, I have included the links in this blog post for you to take a look at. Spread the word, and look for more Google maps of area attractions in the future. My next project will be Canal Park, and some of our major and gorgeous North Shore sites!

Expecting WV Raman To Make A Big Difference, Says Mithali Raj
Mithali Raj said as the ODI captain she will bring the team together.
Mithali Raj had differences with ousted coach Ramesh Powar
Mithali is confident that Raman's experience as a coach
Mithali also acknowledged that all coaches have played a part
Mithali Raj's differences with ousted coach Ramesh Powar and CoA member Diana Edulji is a thing of past and she is gearing up to make a "fresh start" under new coach WV Raman with the upcoming tour of New Zealand. The women's team was at the centre of a huge controversy after their semi-final exit in the T20 World Cup in the West Indies as Raj accused previous coach Powar of bias and CoA member Edulji of trying to finish her career. "I think it's a fresh start. Coming into the new year, this is the first series and yes we have moved on from that (controversy)," ODI skipper Mithali told reporters during the team's pre-departure press conference in Mumbai on Sunday.
Mithali is confident that Raman's experience as a coach would make a difference and she will be on the "same page" with the former India opener.
"When a coach comes in the national side, we as a team are very vocal and expressive as to what is required for the benefit of the team. The coach and the players will have to be on the same page, because that's very important."
While this will be her first stint under Raman, she is confident that it will be onwards and upwards from here on.
"I have not trained under him (Raman) but met him a couple of times and if you see his credential, he has played (at the highest level) and coached various teams at various levels.
"So he comes with that and there are no expectations as such when you have credentials like that. You are only positive that the coach will make a big difference to the team, getting into the year and to the series," the star batter exuded confidence.
Mithali also acknowledged that all coaches have played a part in shaping up the team.
"I honestly believe every coach like how very captain has a very different take. They bring very different perspective to the table, so does the coach.
"The team what it is today, is because of all those various coaches, who trained the team in these years. The team has come so far and his (Raman) knowledge will only benefit the team to go further and above, to move forward," she added.
Mithali also stressed that as the ODI captain she will bring the team together.
"At this level, every player understands what it takes to reach this level and what it takes as a team to play, go on an overseas tour, aim to win the series and gain those (ICC ranking) points.
"So even though we (coach-captain) might have difference of opinions, but when it comes down to players, as a team, we sit and discuss," the skipper said.
Mithali is hopeful that she can bring the team together against the 'White Ferns' during the upcoming tour, one of the toughest assignments in recent times.
"Individual brilliance can win you matches but if you have to win the series, you need every member, every core member of your team to perform and that performance has to compliment the team's goal. I believe I will be able to get the team together again and that is what we are going to work on," she added.
Raman, on his part, said the women's team reaching finals of the ODI World Cup was an indication of its talent.
"They almost won the World Cup in England, which is one of the reasons I put my hat into the ring. That to me was an indication that there is great talent. They are capable of going places and that is what I am going to be looking at - as to how to guide them to play as well as they did in the last 18 (months), hopefully better than what did they in the last 18 months.
"They have set a high standard - it augurs well - and everybody should be looking towards doing much better," Raman said.
Raman also said this was a crucial phase for the women's team.
"This is a stage where they can really sky-rocket or if things do not go well, things can really go down south. At this point I thought they would require somebody with experience and also somebody who has seen a gamut of teams and performed various roles. They needed somebody like that to guide them. I fancy myself and that's the reason here I am," he stressed.
Talking about her future, Mithali said she would take one series at a time.
"I do not know where I would be 2-3 months from now; I cannot really predict whether I will be part of the T20 World Cup. For me at this juncture this New Zealand tour is as important, very important in fact (as to) how it goes for the team and for me."
And did Mithali ever-think of quitting from T20 and the reply was negative.
"Whatever has happened is off the field and I believe whenever I take that decision it probably will be because of my own reasoning and about my own game," she stressed.
Mithali and T20 skipper Harmanpreet Kaur had differences of opinion, but according to Mithali, the two have moved on.
"We (She and Harmanpreet) did meet up after what happened and I think both of us have moved on. I guess too much emphasis is given to that controversy, it was last year and all of us should look forward to 2019," she emphazised.
The ODI skipper also noted that the controversy did hamper the women's cricket.
"I do not know how controversies help the profile of the sport. I believe when a lot is being spoken about non-cricketing things it is not so good," she signed off.

I love April in Cape Town! It has always been one of my best times of the year. It's warm enough to not be uncomfortably freezing all the time but cool enough to have to throw on a jersey and snuggle into bed at night. It's the perfect weather for being outside on those beautiful Autumn sunny days as you don't need to plan your day around the heat of the midday sun. It's a beautiful transition from summer to winter. So, to help you along with this transition, here are some things to do for Date Nights in this beautiful month before we head into cooler days. So I know April is nearly over, but here are some Date Night ideas to see you through the rest of the month.
Monogamy at home:
Have you played the board game Monogamy? I bought it last year for research purposes, of course ;), and we tried to play it but a lot of the game requires some clothes to be taken off so it definitely is not a winter game. You could still get away with playing it in April so now's the time to get it if you're interested. Some of the things to do are seriously risque (well, for us anyway) but you could just have some fun with it and do what feels comfortable for you 😉 (I bought it at CNA)
I haven't been here myself but I have heard good things about Sotano and have been wanting to get there. Their 2 for 1 burger special looks great and definitely worth a try! April might be the last month where you can still sit outside in the evenings so you might want to get there soon. You can find out more info here.
Manna Epicure:
We had a really delicious meal here earlier this year. If you read that post, the one negative I had to say about it was that inside was unbearably hot and luckily we sat outside. That shouldn't be an issue now and in fact, I think it would be quite lovely at this time of year. If you're looking for an early dinner, they have a great special on! 2 courses for R125 and 3 courses for R150. It's a set menu which I normally don't love but their choices look good enough for it to be ok. You can find them here. (I wish they would update their website but don't judge them on that).
The Olive Thrush:
If you can get as far as Prince Albert for a weekend away, I highly recommend it! We recently stayed at The Olive Thrush as I wrote about in my post, Roadtripping on the R62 and we had a lovely time! I imagine April is a beautiful time of year to be there.
Bronze Grove:
Another beautiful place we stayed at was Bronze Grove in Barrydale. We went as a family so stayed in Kumba Cottage but the other cottage for 2, River Ikhaya, looks beautiful as well. Barrydale is such a sweet little town and perfect for a weekend away together.
Putt Putt:
April is the perfect month for Putt Putt down at Mouille Point beach front. Go relatively early to avoid having to wait a long time for your turn as it gets busy on weekends but it's a fun thing to do together. You can also go for a walk hand in hand along the promenade, get an ice cream and just enjoy the sun and cool sea breeze.
Rent Bikes Along The Promenade:
I know I've recommended this before but seriously, if you haven't done it yet, do it this month! It is such a great way to spend time together. Start off at the pavillion, and stop off for a coffee at Cafe Neo before making your way back again. Trust me, you'll love it!
Galileo Open Air Cinema:
If you haven't been before or want to go again, this is the last month for the open air cinema before those cold nights set in. I can't believe I still haven't actually gone (what's up with that?!) but have only heard good things and it is still something I want to get to! You can have a look at their schedule here.
Big Wheel At The Waterfront:
Personally, I love going to the Waterfront as I always feel like a tourist there and there's always so much going on. We went the other night and I was very tempted to go on the big wheel as it just looks so beautiful when it's lit up at night. So, although big wheels aren't MY thing due to my fear of heights issue, I still think it looks pretty cool. (maybe I need to conquer that one soon?).
There you have it! April Date Nights are sorted! For more Date Night ideas, you can have a look at my Date Night Ideas from previous posts or at my Date Night Ideas List at the top of this page. Also, if you need a calendar to schedule it all in, you can download my April free printable calendar here.
Do you have any other Date Night Ideas to share? Please let me know as I certainly have not listed them all. Thanks! x
*Disclaimer: I have not been paid to recommend any of these places. I will always disclose if I am paid or receive something for free. I have an affiliate with Daddy's Deals which means if you book with them by clicking on my link, I get a little something. However, I only recommend their deals if it is somewhere I would book and like to go myself. All recommendations are based on my opinion or experience so please bear that in mind when experiencing them for yourself. Basically, I take no responsibility for bad experiences but will take full responsibility for good ones 😉

Are your clothes killing the planet?
Levi's, Everlane among leaders stepping up to sustainability challenge
Fashion may look pretty on the runway and on Instagram feeds, but behind the scenes it wreaks havoc on the environment.
That's because the building blocks of modern clothing — polyester and similar synthetic textiles — are, basically, plastic fibers made from coal, petroleum, air and water.
Compounding that is the huge consumption of water, which, contaminated by pesticides, fertilizers and chemicals used in apparel production, is later discharged into waterways. Garments, when laundered, shed tiny fibers that slip through sewage and washing machine filters and end up in the ocean. And there are the mountains of castoff clothes that sit in landfills releasing greenhouse gases. The federal Environmental Protection Agency estimates Americans threw out 11.9 million tons of clothing and footwear in 2015.
"The fashion industry's contribution to greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) is more than the maritime and flight industries combined," says Annie Gullingsrud, a sustainable fashion consultant, author and adjunct professor at the California College of the Arts, citing an Ellen MacArthur Foundation study. And 8 percent of global GHG emissions comes from the production of apparel and footwear, Gullingsrud adds.
"And that's not talking about all the pollution and chemicals," she says. "Or the fact that half of our fashion is disposed of in under a year. We're coming to the conclusion, fortunately, that we've overshot the planet. The fashion industry is taking more from the planet than it can naturally regenerate. We can grow cotton, but you add the concept of scale and you're depleting farmland."
Gullingsrud acknowledges this is a tough one, not only because fashion generates trillion-dollar revenues for companies, but also because many customers still value price, design and novelty over whether a sheep has been humanely treated in the production of a wool sweater.
"When people are wearing used clothes, it will decrease the amount of virgin clothes required," she says. "That's scary to the industry. But it has to change. It can't keep putting out virgin clothes. Changing the model is not a may, it's a must."
While many industry insiders see making no new clothes as a nonstarter, they are embracing another option — the circular economy. Under a circular economy, companies operate on what is called a "closed loop" model, a process that uses innovation to eradicate waste by turning it into a resource, through regenerating and recycling, to create new items.
On Oct. 29, Burberry and H&M were among more than 250 brands and institutions (including Target, L'Oreal and Unilever) that signed the New Plastics Economy Global Commitment. Signatories pledged to "eradicate plastic waste and pollution at the source," and collectively represent 20 percent of all plastic producers. The effort, led by the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, supports a circular economy, in partnership with UN Environment, according to a news release.
"Materials are extracted from the earth in a nonhazardous way and sold to make garments," Gullingsrud says. "And then those garments stay in circulation for as long as possible. New companies like Poshmark promote that. Based on this, people are getting help in buying used instead of new clothing. This is a fantastic business model — and now we call this a value chain, not a supply chain."
And in the U.S., the circular economy is catching on. PVH Corp., producers of Tommy Hilfiger and Calvin Klein, is doing it, says Gullingsrud, adding, "We're not at the execution stage, let's be clear. But we're absolutely moving toward it."
Jason Kibbey, CEO of San Francisco's Sustainable Apparel Coalition, agrees. SAC developed the Higg Index, tools measuring environmental, social and labor impacts across members' supply chains. "It's just getting started," Kibbey says, "but scaling pretty quickly. When we started the index five years ago, there were only 25 companies which had the remotest ability to work on issues. Now when you look at who's engaging in sustainable practices, it's becoming a norm."
Kibbey foresees clothing production decreases. "The idea that we're going to flip the switch and clothing companies won't use any raw materials at all is not realistic," he says. "But over the long term, all the large companies are looking at how to continue the sustainability of input materials to make clothes. There is a sincere desire to reduce the virgin material that goes into clothing, and it will happen."
For that to occur, big guns need to lead the way.
In 2005, Levi's began releasing the names and locations of all its contract and licensee factories, and this year, expanded that list to include fabric mills. In July, in an earth-moving first for the industry, Levi's announced it would reduce carbon emissions across its owned and operated facilities by 90 percent, and within its global supply chain by 40 percent, by 2025.
"This is a huge shift, not only for Levi's but for the industry at large," says Todd Paglia, executive director of environmental activist group Stand.earth, a vocal critic of Levi's. "Levi's is to be applauded for doing this — and the rest of the industry must follow suit."
Stand.earth notwithstanding, Levi's pioneering sustainability efforts led to its being named one of the most innovative companies in the world by Fast Company in 2014. Levi's vice president of sustainability, Michael Kobori, was named one of the 1,000 most creative people in business.
5 ways to reuse, recycle
Contrary to crunchy stereotypes, sustainable consumer habits don't require the switch to hemp tunics or compostable purses that double as farmers' market totes. Today, both unapologetic trend mongers and environmentally conscious shoppers can easily help prevent 26 billion pounds of "trashion" from heading to landfills each year with consignors and recycling programs that properly retire clotheshorses' old garments to greener pastures.
Consign the couture: The RealReal's Millennial-centric approach to storied designers is an after-party fete for gently worn couture, giving second wind to Birkins and Blahniks.
Middle-of-the-road designers: Crossroads is a secondhand sanctuary for barely used contemporary brands from the likes of Joie, Halston and ready-to-wear bridge deities like DKNY. Walk out with a modest wad of cash for on-the-spot sold items or bet on the long game with consignment for a heftier margin of the sale.
Crossroads Trading Co., various Bay Area locations, including 2123 Market St., S.F. www.crossroadstrading.com.
Worn goods for good causes: "Goodwill gives reusable items a second life and people a second chance," says CEO and regional president William Rogers. It's also a longtime secret haunt for fashion scavengers seeking vintage jewelry, shabby chic decor and one-of-a-kind costumes, making it well worth combing the aisles after dropping off a donation of rip- and stain-free items.
Goodwill, various Bay Area locations, including 295 Bay St., S.F.www.goodwill.org.
Collect and release: I:CO re-spins trashion into either commercial wall insulation or new threads. Re-spinning fabrics decreases typical water consumption by up to 80 percent compared to traditional textile processes. Donation drop-offs are welcome at H&M, Levi's and Royal Robbins — all offering brand discounts in return for used, clean clothes. www.ico-spirit.com.
Coats for karma: St. Anthony Foundation distributes donations of nearly new basics, including warm coats, socks and children's clothing to 11,000 homeless and low-income San Franciscans every year. Curbside drop-offs are accepted 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. daily.
St. Anthony, 121 Golden Gate Ave., S.F. www.stanthonysf.org.

Kobori spearheaded the company's ethical fashion mission with several programs and early membership in the Better Cotton Initiative, which trains farmers across the world to grow cotton with less water and fertilizer.
"The program reaches 2 million cotton farmers, and they are farming 15 percent of all the world's cotton," Kobori says of the cotton initiative. "That may not seem like a large amount, but the initiative has only been around for eight years and we've gotten to 15 percent. We believe because we're big and global, we can influence the industry to scale sustainability."
Its WasteLess program features products made of 20 percent recycled plastic bottles, and to date, the company says, it has used 11.9 million recycled bottles for its products. By removing water from finishing stone washes or combining multiple wet-cycle processes, Levi's has reduced its water usage by more than 2 billion liters since instituting its WaterLess program in 2011.
Levi's has also committed to achieving zero discharge of hazardous chemicals from its supply chain by 2020. In 2016, it partnered with textile technology startup Evrnu to create the world's first pair of jeans using five discarded cotton T-shirts to make new fiber, a process that uses 98 percent less water than virgin cotton products.
"The idea around the circular economy is how do you continue to produce products without consuming additional resources," Kobori says. "One element is making sure you have the ability to take used clothing from consumers and turn it or use it in different ways."
To that end, the company now fixes up secondhand Levi's and resells them as authorized vintage jeans. "You get twice the use and life out of a product you manufacture and you don't have to consume any additional resources for your consumers," Kobori says. "And today that is the most sustainable approach. Make something that is durable."
Gausewitz says progress has been made. "We've seen the Sustainable Apparel Coalition help other companies get aligned," he says. "And it's been a good example of how the industry is today — that you get H&M, known for fast fashion, and us, known for more durable, technical products, all in the same room. In meetings and conversations at SAC you see a lot of brands that weren't necessarily there before."
H&M has a mixed record. The world's second-largest clothing manufacturer, it was the first fashion company to introduce garment collecting globally in 2013. It has made worthy efforts at sustainability, but some say they might not matter if the company continues to produce the millions of clothes it does. (H&M won't say how many garments it makes.)
"H&M is a good example for being on track with chemical management," says Kirsten Brodde, global project lead of Greenpeace International's Detox My Fashion campaign. "But still being a fast-fashion giant will never be sustainable."
Furthermore, says Brodde, the fashion company incinerates new clothes it can't sell. "H&M and Burberry admitting burning stock means the end of the silence on textile waste. This practice of destroying perfectly marketable goods is the logical consequence of their mass production and points to the key challenge that the industry needs to (address): how to slow down, to respect people and the planet."
In an email, H&M said, "Only products that have failed to fulfill safety regulations and cannot be re-used or recycled are sent for destruction."
The new plastic commitment's targets, which will be reviewed every 18 months, include eliminating unnecessary plastic packaging and moving away from single-use plastics to a reuse model. They also include working to ensure all plastics are recyclable, compostable or reusable by 2025 — in effect, a circular plastics economy. Brands must publish their progress annually. San Francisco's Everlane announced its own effort about a week before this multi-company pact.
"The current discourse depicts that society can continue to make, buy and discard as much fashion as it likes — we just have to be smarter about doing so. Underlying that is a paradigm of continued expansion and overheated production that remains untouched. We need to stop thinking about growth and speed and start thinking about extending the lifespan of clothing to slow down and limit our excessive wasting of precious natural resources."
Levi's Kobori agrees. "In a truly closed loop, circular clothing system, raw materials would not come from cotton fields but from consumers' closets," he says.
"We believe that owning quality product for longer — and integrating business models along the way to both enable that durability, while supporting business viability — is key to addressing unchecked consumption."

Deb has been an on-line friend for years and we finally met a couple of years ago at For Keeps Sake. I love Deb's style. She has a booth at the South County Antique Mall that my friends and I frequent often. In addition, Deb has an Etsy store and a blog.
This past weekend, Deb was a vendor at the For Keeps Sake Girlfriends Getaway. If you purchased anything from her table, Deb packaged everything in these hand decorated bags that she made the morning of the sale:
Each bag was unique with either lace or linens attached. Beautifully done. We were ga ga over the bags!
Sounds like everyone had a great weekend at the For Keeps Sake Girlfriends Getaway. I know we did! It's so fun to walk around and see what everyone is creating. Thanks for sharing your ideas. I'm so inspired!
Playing catch-up at home today.
The Vendor Faire was beyond what we've ever had. Such a diverse group of vendors!
Theron from Lifestyle Crafts brought so many goodies and giveaways. And we heard comment after comment about his great (and funny) personality!
A big thank you to American Crafts who sent a prize to everyone in attendance.
Nancy N & Timi outdid themselves with behind-the-scenes arrangements with the hotel, placement of tables and making sure friends were seated together, numbers on chairs for even more giveaways and generally seeing that eveyone had a great time - which we all did!

Not bad for a few minutes in a *game show*.
Most importantly, we all had a great time!
Thank you Theron and Lifestyle Crafts.
Theron for a fun night @ For Keeps Sake. Theron is our Lifestyle Crafts rep and he is in town to help us celebrate our Girlfriends Getaway.
He popped in late yesterday afternoon and showed a few of our Lifestyle Crafts die club members how to operate the Lifestyle Crafts Letterpress. Skeptic that I am . . . I loved how this worked! So much easier than what I anticipated.
Last night, our second die club members were @ For Keeps Sake and we did a quick make-n-take using the Letterpress. The card was adorable and then . . .
Sue B was chosen to play *Deal or No Deal*, the Lifestyle Crafts version and won . . .
$150 Lifestyle Crafts die shopping spree!
Theron will be at the Girlfriends Getaway this weekend so that all the attendees can see the latest from Lifestyle Crafts.
See you @ For Keeps Sake Girlfriends Getaway!
from the same Oxford Impressions stamp set: A Season of Giving
This time, I stamped the photo-type image onto low gloss matte paper. It's even better than the glossy!
Here's a close-up. Such detail in this stamp!
Love the holly branch (also from the same stamp set)!
You can find all the images here: http://store.oxfordimpressions.com/
then this is the stamp set for you!
Oxford Impressions Season of Giving
Here's what I did with mine:
The image of the little boy and girl was stamped on glossy coated paper to give the feel of an actual photo. I used both black Memento ink + Ranger Sepia Archival Ink to get the effect of an aged image. The rest of the images (the postcard and the NOEL word) were stamped on matte coated paper.
As a Mom to a son, I love that this stamp set includes images of little boys. Most of the Christmas images I see include girls, but not boys : ( . . . until now!
Here are a couple of close ups so you can see the details of the Oxford Impressions stamps. They're magnificent!
Running off to play more. You can find all of Suzanne's beautifully crafted stamp sets here:
I am a member of an online ATC group called Vintage Photo Images. This is one of the most talented group of traders I've ever been involved in. Every time I'm in a trade and receive the ATC's I am amazed at the detail the members put into their ATC's.
This month, I participated in a *Gypsy* trade.
Here's the one I sent:

Thank you trade gals.
Thank you for all your comments and suggestions about upcoming classes for 2013. Before I announce the TWO winners of a surprise package, I thought I'd address some things on your WISH LIST.
Now that I've been this long winded and my coffee is cold . . .
the winners are:
Janis S & Vicki M
Congratulations girls.
I'll have your prize package available at For Keeps Sake
after 5 pm on Wednesday October 24.
One last thought . . .
It makes me sad that For Keeps Sake has disappointed anyone. I can't even begin to tell you how hard we all work to make this the best paper art store EVER - anywhere. We work extremely hard on all the classes we offer and go to extremes to bring in new ideas and keep things fresh. While the *big name designers* are able to design maybe 3 things to teach in a quarter or for a half a year, each instructor at For Keeps Sake is thinking up 3 - 5 ideas each MONTH. New product is coming in the store to keep everything up to date. We eat, sleep and think this business to make it a success. I do know that most of you love For Keeps Sake. We've been teasing for years that this is the CHEERS of the scrapbook stores (and I'm Norm). We're helpful and friendly and we know our products and how they work - again, something you can't get in all stores.
Thank you to those of you who do take my classes and workshops. I appreciate each of you and hope to see you again in the very near future.
to find two publications in the mail yesterday with some of my work published!
October Crafts 'n' Things
published my Graphic 45 ABC Primer altered box and album
Stampington's Hand Crafted Volume 8
published two of my cards
Very grateful!
