OrderDomainPricingOverride hook error
So, who am I ? posted a topic in Using WHMCSHello I use OrderDomainPricingOverride hook to change some domain price manually, I need two registrars to use this hook, but when I add hook file to the second registrar's folder I get blank page and the whole site shuts down. I don't use any registrar function in the file, I just check domain's sld and tld and generate price, how can I manage to use the hook for both registrars ? this is my whole hook file: <?php /** * WHMCS SDK Sample Registrar Module Hooks File * * Hooks allow you to tie into events that occur within the WHMCS application. * * This allows you to execute your own code in addition to, or sometimes even * instead of that which WHMCS executes by default. * * WHMCS recommends as good practice that all named hook functions are prefixed * with the keyword "hook", followed by your module name, followed by the action * of the hook function.

smarty->assign on ClientAreaPage Hook
servetas posted a question in Building ModulesHello All, I am trying to following part of code within the viewinvoice page but the paymentbutton is not updated. Is the smarty->assign option still supported? <?php function custom($vars) { global $smarty; if ($vars['filename'] == 'viewinvoice' && $vars['status'] == 'Unpaid') { $smarty->assign('paymentbutton', "BG"); } } add_hook('ClientAreaPage', 1, 'custom'); ?> The hook seems to run but the paymentbutton is not updated. Does anyone have the same issue? How can we update the paymentbutton?

Anveto Currency Rates
bigideaguy posted a topic in Commercial Modules and AddonsHey guys! I was unable to find a good way of updating bitcoin currency rates so I decided to create my own module to do this for me and that resultet in Anveto Currency Rates. This addon will update additional currency rates when the daily cron runs or when Anveto cron runs (see downloads here for anveto cron https://anveto.com/members/downloads/2/WHMCS) in order to update currencies multiple times daily. Currently it uses the bitpay (https://bitpay.com/api/rates) to get currency rates but you could set this to any source as long as it follows the same json format. The module costs $10 and can be purchased here https://anveto.com/members/cart.php?a=add&pid=21 It is currently pending community app store review. The source code is not encrypted as I want users to be able to modify this however they would like as long as they purchase the module. I hope some of you find it useful!

OverrideModuleUsernameGeneration hook not triggered when expected to be
nuxwin posted a topic in Developer CornerGood morning, We created a WHMCS provisioning module for our control panel. Because in our control panel, the usernames match the domain names, we added a hook which overrides the username that is automatically generated by WHMCS when an order is being placed. The hook look as follow: /** * Replace generated username by domain name */ add_hook('OverrideModuleUsernameGeneration', 1, function ($vars) { if($vars['moduletype'] != 'imscp') { return null; } return $vars['domain']; }); This works well for products that are setup automatically (the hook is run as expected and the username is set with the domain name as expected). However, when the order is placed and accepted manually, or when the product setup is not automatic, the hook is not triggered and thus, the username is not overriden. We already reported the issue to WHMCS team (#AMI-418461 no answered yet) but it would be great if someone here could help us to find a temporary workaround. The hook should be triggered in every contexts (when our provisioning module is involved). To resume, each time the username is being generated, that hook should be called. Thank you for your help. Involved WHMCS version: 6.3.1
Action hook to send values to external page
Frankc posted a topic in Using WHMCSWhat I am trying to do is to add a hook where variables are send to an external page for processing via get or post. The page is on other domain and involves creating directories so te hook itself won't be able to do that. hook = get variables (userid, domain) and send to an external page. (Same server, other domain. The database can be updated from either side so it's no problem) Do anybody have some ideas please?
Twitter hook to set Twitter account based on client
HSC: Login With PayPal For WHMCS
HardSoftCode posted a topic in Commercial Modules and AddonsWith the Login with PayPal Module, your clients can authenticate into your WHMCS using PayPal. It's the same procedure we already know for Facebook, or maybe Twitter and GitHub. The Login with PayPal module is a commerce identity solution that enables clients to register/login into the client area quickly and securely using their PayPal login credentials. One of the most important reasons to use the module is simplicity. Your clients will not need to remember another set of credentials – the same advantage OAuth via FB, Twitter, etc have. In addition, the login procedure is absolutely secured fewer concerns for you. However, it's not just an email and a password. Features Login form the client are login page Register form the client register page Register or login form the checkout page Connect to PayPal for existing clients from the client panel Clients register list for admin area to see all connected clients Custom buttons – you can use your own buttons style Debug mode – sandbox or live View the product Page View all our works and Products
Action Hook: Client agrees to updated TOS before being able to continue to Client Area
inyerface posted a topic in Developer CornerI created an action hook (almost) that will force clients to agree to new terms of service (on login) before being able to continue to client area. I created a new column under "tblclients" called "tosversion" (which is type "date" instead of a version number) and that gets updated no problem when the client logs in. The only problem is displaying a page or popup that displays the TOS before this field is updated. the code: <?php $updateddate = "2016-02-16"; function hook_tos_clientlogin($vars) { /// CHANGE YOUR TOS VERSION $updatedtosversion="2016-02-16"; $clientid = $vars['userid']; if (!filter_var($clientid, FILTER_VALIDATE_INT)) { return; } $tbl="tblclients"; $fields = "tosversion"; $where = array("id"=>$clientid); $result = select_query($tbl,$fields,$where); $data = mysql_fetch_array($result); $ctosversion = $data['tosversion']; if ($ctosversion < $updatedtosversion) { //we don't match, do something. // make sure we update at the end of this $update = array("tosversion"=>"$updatedtosversion"); $where2 = array("id"=>"$clientid"); update_query($tbl,$update,$where2); } else { //just a courtesy else } } add_hook("ClientLogin",1,"hook_tos_clientlogin"); ?> What am I missing?
Hook to modify gateways variable
Chris-M posted a topic in Developer CornerI am looking to delete certain gateways from a hook so that these gateways are not shown on the cart. The following code does the filtering/removal of the relevant gateways in a hook: function hook_HideGateways($vars) { global $CONFIG; if ($vars['filename']=='cart') { // delete all but securetradingadvanced from gateways array foreach ($vars['gateways'] as $gw_name => $gw) { if ($gw_name != 'securetradingadvanced') { unset($vars['gateways'][$gw_name]); // delete gateway } } } } add_hook('ClientAreaPage', 1, 'hook_HideGateways'); How can I then return/override the $gateways Smarty variable as used in the cart templates? Thanks in advance!

Language Fallback - Feature Missing!
zstergios posted a topic in Using WHMCSA very important feature is missing from WHMCS, the language fallback. It's impossible to able to translate all custom stings to all languages, so best scenario is to load the default string translation, for example "english". This is the hook code of "languageFallback.php", the code seems OK but does not effect the loaded language. Any suggestion? /* Developer: Stergios Zgouletas Web-site: web-expert.gr License: GNU GPL v2 */ if(!defined("WHMCS")) die("This file cannot be accessed directly"); function languageFallback($vars){ $defaultLanguage='english'; //Fallback Language $currentLanguage=strtolower($vars['language']); //Current Active Language global $_LANG; $current=$_LANG; if($defaultLanguage!=$currentLanguage){ //Load default language file $default=array(); if(file_exists(ROOTDIR.'/lang/'.$defaultLanguage.'.php')){ require(ROOTDIR.'/lang/'.$defaultLanguage.'.php'); $default=$_LANG; } //Load default override language file $defaultOverride=array(); if(file_exists(ROOTDIR.'/lang/overrides/'.$defaultLanguage.'.php')){ require(ROOTDIR.'/lang/overrides/'.$defaultLanguage.'.php'); $defaultOverride=$_LANG; } //Load module's language $module=array(); if(isset($_REQUEST['m']) && !empty($_REQUEST['m']) && file_exists(ROOTDIR.'/modules/addons/'.$_REQUEST['m'].'/'.$defaultLanguage.'.php')){ require(ROOTDIR.'/modules/addons/'.$_REQUEST['m'].'/'.$defaultLanguage.'.php'); $module=$_ADDONLANG; } $_LANG=array_merge($default,$defaultOverride,$module,$current); return array('languageFallback'=>1); } return array('languageFallback'=>0); } add_hook("ClientAreaPage",0,"languageFallback");
menu hook throws error when logging out
xxxmicrobexxx posted a topic in Developer CornerV6.01 I have a hook menu.php It is working to do what I wanted, add an item to the support menu and remove the downloads item. Cool! But when logging out from the client area it throws an error. "Fatal error: Call to a member function addChild() on a non-object in /home/steved/public_html/includes/hooks/menu.php on line 9" This implies that when someone is logging out and logout.php is being loaded, it is calling the menu hook. Reloading logout.php then redirects to index.php When logout.php is being called, by that time the $ca->isLoggedIn() flag should be false shouldn't it? So it shouldn't even see the code throwing the error. Or am I completely missing the point somewhere? $ca = new WHMCS_ClientArea(); use WHMCS\View\Menu\Item as MenuItem; if ($ca->isLoggedIn()) { add_hook('ClientAreaPrimaryNavbar', 1, function (MenuItem $primaryNavbar){ /** Add Create Ticket to the Support Menu **/ $primaryNavbar->getChild('Support')->addChild('Firewall Management', array( 'label' => 'Open a Ticket', 'uri' => 'https://domain.com/submitticket.php', 'order' => '1', )); }); add_hook('ClientAreaPrimaryNavbar', 1, function (MenuItem $primaryNavbar) { if (!is_null($primaryNavbar->getChild('Support'))) { $primaryNavbar->getChild('Support')->removeChild('Downloads'); } }); }
DailyCronJob Hook not being called in new addon
bigideaguy posted a topic in Developer CornerI am having an issue where my the hook for the DailyCronJob is not being called. I know cron is running as I get the email daily. It seems like the method is not being called to perform the update but if I call this from the browser it seems to work fine. What am I missing or doing wrong here? class MyAddon_Hooks { protected static $instance = NULL; public static function get_instance() { if ( NULL === self::$instance ) self::$instance = new self; return self::$instance; } function __construct() { $files = array("addonfile.php"); foreach ($files as $f) { if (file_exists($f)) { include_once($f); } } } function update() { Anveto::get_instance()->cron(); } } function myaddon_update() { MyAddon_Hooks::get_instance()->update(); } add_hook("DailyCronJob",1,"myaddon_update"); This is the code in my hooks.php file.
Why is ShoppingCartCheckoutCompletePage hook executes on dailycron?
v1ktor posted a topic in Using WHMCSOk, so I have a hook in place for ShoppingCartCheckoutCompletePage. When they reach completion page, hook checks for products in the order and based on product ID and if order status is pending, it sends out a correct email. Because I'm using ShoppingCartCheckoutCompletePage hook, the email should go out right there and then when order is complete. So why does the email go out when dailycron runs in the morning? Thoughts? I'm using internal API inside hook to sendmail with a correct template.

In the branches of the Hellenic Foundation for Culture (H.F.C.) function departments in which professors with experience teach Greek as a foreigner/second language. These courses aim at the practice of all linguistic abilities (production and comprehension of oral and written speech). In the teaching process are applied modern pedagogic methods according to which the learning becomes a complex process of interaction of the individual with the social environment. For this reason in the suitably shaped rooms of the branches the teaching follows not only the use of the traditional handbook, but is also supported with the help of optical and acoustic material, linguistic games, discussions and events (learning of songs, competitions, musical and theatrical representations, guided tours in the exhibitions organized by the branches etc.). These choices aim at the acquaintance of the students with the Greek way of life and at the approach of country's culture. Special concern is taken for the correct function of children's departments, as suitable methods of teaching are applied which allow a better communication with the children. The courses in the adults' departments are formed in such a way in order to correspond to the specific requirements of the Greek Language Center. The teachers are free to select the handbooks and the teaching material. Some of the handbooks that are used are mentioned below:
- George Babiniotis, "Greek Language",
- Institute of Modern Greek Studies, "New Greek for foreigner",
- Froso and Kleanthis Arbanitaki, "Communicate in Greek",
- Sapfo Mauroulia and Evangelia Georgantzi, "Greek for foreign speakers",

In the HFC's Offices, the Foundation's representatives work together with the local public and private institutions in order to organise high level cultural events.
In addition, they encourage any initiative aiming at the promotion of the Greek civilization, such as Greek language courses and artistic events.
HE BRANCHES are centres for cultural and artistic events, education and teaching the Greek language.
THE LIBRARIES of the branches function as information centres, with books, newspapers, magazines, videos, CDs and CD-ROMs, while also offering Internet access and providing information about cultural life in Greece, education, the sciences, the environment and society in general.
THE GREEK LANGUAGE is taught at all levels at the Berlin, Odessa and Alexandria branches. The branches are also authorised examination centres, where examinations are organised every year by the Centre for the Greek Language of the Ministry of Education, which awards a state-recognised Certificate of Attainment in Greek.
The Centres of the Hellenic Foundation for Culture function as centres of teaching the Greek language and promoting the Greek culture. The Centres organise seminars on teaching Greek as a foreign language, addressed at the Greek language's tutors.
The Centres organise, in co-operation with public and private cultural institutions, the local government, as well as with economic institutions, major cultural and artistic events with the aim of promoting the Greek civilisation.
The Hellenic Foundation for Culture serves as a point of reference for the Greek language and its teaching abroad. The Greek language is taught at all levels at the HFC branches in Berlin, Alexandria and Odessa. Students can come in at any level:
* beginners
* intermediate
* advanced
There are also special classes
* for children and adolescents
* for students with a knowledge of ancient Greek
* conversation skills
* composition exercises.
The Branches and the Centres of the Hellenic Foundation for Culture provide the possibility of teaching the ancient Greek language with emphasis on its relation with the Modern Greek language, as well as with the teaching of ecclesiastic language, namely common Alexandrian.
Moreover, HFC Branches very often organise seminars for Greek Language teachers. The HFC Branches are ordered by the Centre for the Greek Language as the only examination centres, concerning the acquisition of the Certificate of Study of the Greek language in Ukraine, Moldavia, Germany and Egypt.
With support and financial assistance from the HFC, scholarships are given to enable students to attend summer classes in the Greek language and culture which are organised in Greece by universities and other institutions (Greek Studies Summer Scholarships programme of the University of Athens, JASON programme of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Institute for Balkan Studies, etc.). These scholarships cover accommodation, meals and travel costs. In the period 2002-2003, such scholarships were granted to 42 students.
The Greek Studies Summer Scholarships programme of the University of Athens is directed at graduate and post-graduate students in fields related to Modern Greek Studies. It lasts six weeks and is organised on levels. On completion of the programme, a certificate of study is awarded to participants.
The Summer School for the Greek Language, History and Culture, run by the Institute for Balkan Studies, each year offers Greek language lessons.
The JASON programme of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki is aimed at establishing or effectively strengthening nuclei of Greek studies at 16 universities of the Black Sea region. The programme is administered by the Philosophy Faculty and - inter alia - organises Greek language lessons for students and educators.

Maternity Leave for Dummies
Alex Steinman
Postpartum this time around has been a picnic compared to my first. Having been on the other side of the broken bottom spectrum, I realize how lucky I am to have a mostly-functioning undercarriage and a baby who sleeps and eats regularly. Other than the constant fear of smothering my baby when I fall asleep nursing her at 3am, I'm (mostly) mentally intact.
At first, I felt guilty about having three months "off" when I physically recovered in about three weeks. Then I remembered why maternity leave exists. I created life for ten months, while simultaneously raising a toddler, working full-time, and starting a business without being able to drink. I don't feel so bad anymore. I earned this time to do whatever the fuck I want.
Maternity leave has been a combination of doing it all and doing nothing at all. I'm either writing, meeting new people, working out, and plotting world domination all before noon; or I'm on the couch watching the entire second season of Kimmy Schmidt while trying not to get nacho crumbs on my baby as she eats. These shifts are reflective of the emotional swings happening as the hormones fall out of me and my (likely) last baby gets older every second.
The guilt comes from the societal pressure for maternity leave to look a certain way. People without kids and those who've experienced one particular version of it often project those expectations onto new moms. Some people have assumed I'm keeping my oldest at home while I'm on leave. I look at them with giant emoji side eye. I'd like to pee in privacy at some point (when I say privacy, I just mean without someone touching me). I send Cooper to daycare, and I don't feel bad about it. He gets to keep somewhat of a routine, and I get to bond with the newest member of our circus.
Sleep when the baby sleeps wasn't my thing, but if it works for you, DO IT. Scrap books and quilts are beyond my attention span and talents, but if they float your baby boat, CRAFT THAT SHIT. A long walk during the day makes me feel stronger, but if you're not up for it, SKIP IT. It's rare for working moms to get time to focus on their children and themselves. Working mom: you deserve to spend that time at home, in a coffee shop, on the beach or wherever makes you feel like fucking awesome.
Maternity leave is basically a big DO YOU time, and I wish it was socially acceptable to do more of it for longer. It's exciting to see companies experiment with longer leave policies, return to work programs and parental coaching. Perhaps our future #Girlboss president, Hillary Clinton, can help shift culture for future generations and their nuggets.
If you're still using the term "vacation" to describe a co-worker's parental leave, tell me the last vacation you had with raw nips, a diaper (your own), and a 6-10 pound poop machine attached to you. Then please exit the blog through the gift shop. I can't even with your bad juju.

"And therefore we also having so great a cloud of witnesses over our head, laying aside every weight and sin which surrounds us, let us run by patience to the fight proposed to us," Heb 12:1
Luke the Evangelist
October 18
Luke the Evangelist (Greek: Λουκᾶς, Loukás) is one of the Four Evangelists- the four authors of the Gospels. Luke was a Greek native of the city of Antioch (in modern Turkey). According to tradition, he was a pagan doctor who was converted to Christianity through the ministry of St. Paul. He was also the author of the early ecclesiastical history "The Acts of the Apostles," and devoted the majority of his life to evangelizing the Greeks, ultimately leading to his martyrdom in Euboea (modern Greece.)

|Nipple: Not so sexy.
What do the words nipple, flashing, chase and butt have in common?
That's right--they're all parts of a building.
As someone who's gotten used to casually tossing off the many quirky terms found in building construction, I'm sometimes caught short by the sidelong glances of my clients, who aren't always sure exactly what kind of anatomy I'm invoking.
Since contractor humor has presumably changed little over the centuries, I suspect that most of these terms harken from Medieval builders who, like their modern counterprarts, delighted in coining colorful or even risque names for otherwise mundane bits and pieces of buildings.
Having used such blatant tittilation to draw your attention, I'll explain the above words before I move on to a couple of other favorites.
• A nipple, as any plumber can tell you, is a very short length of threaded pipe. Back in the days when water pipes were threaded, plumbers had to make up all the long lengths on the job, but a range of nipples--short pieces in one-inch increments up to one foot--were prethreaded and kept at hand to save time.
|Flashing: Ooh la la...
• Flashing--which is a noun, not a verb--is a kind of sheet metal fabrication that's used for waterproofing, typically where walls and roofs intersect. This word is just a shortened version of the original term, "flashing metal", which better explains its origin--on a slate or tile roof, these pieces of metal were literally the only part that flashed in the sun.
• A chase is a vertical shaft, usually continuous through storeys, in which pipes, ducts, and the like are run. This kind of chase isn't rooted in the more common word meaning "hunt"; rather, it comes from an Old French word meaning groove or enclosure.
|Now that's a NICE butt.
• Butt—a shortened form of "butt hinge"--is builder's lingo for the type of hinge typically used on a residential door. Curiously, butts are always counted like pants--in pairs. Hence, a door with a hinge at the top and bottom is said to have a pair of butts, while one with three hinges is said to have one and a half pairs.
And while we're on some of the more arcane building terms, here are a few more:
|Woodworkers go chasing this kind of rabbet.
• A rabbet is a groove or recess running the length of a piece of lumber. It has nothing to do with the name of the like-sounding animal, but rather is just the woodworker's corruption of "rebate", an old architectural term with nearly the same meaning. The exact same groove made perpendicular to the grain rather than parallel to it, however, is inexplicably called a "dado".
• In construction, to "furr"--yes, it really has two Rs--means to apply false framing over a wall or ceiling, usually to hide something unsightly beneath. The word comes from the Old French "fourrer", which has the delightful meaning of "to trim or line with fur".
• A "sleeper" is one of a series of wooden strips laid down over subflooring in order to increase its height. Since this piece of lumber doesn't have to do much of anything but lay there, its thirteenth-century meaning seems wryly appropriate: "One who is inclined to sleep much." Zzzzzzz.

Research and forced extroversion are the impetus for my ship's forward momentum this week. After Monday's course correction, I'm back out to sea with heavy sails that sprang back into service after untangling the ropes and dealing with rusted winches. The ocean spray is cold and the boat creaks loudly every so often, a reminder of the beaching that never was, but aside from a few splinters from the deck, I'd say my skies ahead appear overcast but calm. Sure, it's not easy to redirect trajectory, but it's necessary and the fresh air isn't entirely unwanted. The further away from land I get, the more I realize I won't necessarily miss the dangers that awaited me on shore. There's still time for this vessel to travel without a first mate and a pelagic life is where I've traditionally made myself most familiar, so I should relish the journey instead of anchoring it in an unintended bay.
But enough of this nautical nonsense; I have a valid reason for writing this entry. Boat metaphors aside, I realized something about myself this week that helped me understand why I keep avoiding the shore (I lied, I'm not done with boat-talk yet). I'd never taken the Myers-Briggs Personality Test before, so I went online and found a couple of websites that offered the tests for free. Upon completion of the tests, they provided instant analysis of my personality and categorized their findings into one of sixteen possible templates. Not surprisingly, I received the same category each time I took the test regardless of the website. I am an INFJ.
INFJ stands for introverted intuitive feeling judging. This personality is generally regarded as exhibiting the following characteristics (abridged list, free of boat lingo):
- Creativity is key to their personality
- "Doers" in addition to dreamers
- Require closure on all things
- Obsessed with interpersonal relations
- Interested in people
- Highly empathic
- Worried about offending others
- Introverted
- Suddenly withdraw to seek personal time
- Alone time helps to decompress
- Alone time avoids emotional overload
- Quietly extroverted, needing human interaction but not too much
- Prone to internal conflict
- The struggle between logic and feeling is ongoing
- Self-awareness is prevalent
- Strong self-expression through art and writing
- Doesn't like hard logic, gravitates toward liberal arts
- Conflict avoidant at all costs
- Always needing a cause to exercise passion
- Easily burned out
- Does not like casual romance
- Unlikely to go for social circle friendships without authenticity
- Likely to rehash the boat joke from before
- Lies about not adding naval language to things
There are aspects of the INFJ personality type that don't necessarily apply to me (like the inclination to have a teaching job), but this is as close as it gets in terms of falling into one of their categories. But the thing about it that I find most interesting isn't the laundry list of applicable characteristics I already knew about myself. The interesting thing about the category is that it's the rarest personality type in their sixteen-block architecture. According to the Center for Applications of Psychological Type, only 1-3% of total people in the US fall into this particular arrangement of personality qualities. It's the least represented of the categories with the fewest amount of people identifying as INFJ.
This isn't really a M. Night Shyamalan revelation or anything. I'm not suddenly seeing dead people and I'm not surprised cleverly placed glasses of water are the key to beating a source of anxiety. Of course I'm in that weird 1% of people. Of course I belong to the personality minority. I struggle constantly with genuinely enjoying socially accepted activities and I flat out refuse to partake in others because they're not for me (ironically with all the maritime vernacular, I cannot swim and refuse to do it). I've never been great at connecting with a large amount of people with great success and I prefer an inward activity that generates products of creativity over traditional social activities that produce little beyond filling time.
I value intelligent, driven introverts with a penchant for creativity and empathy. Those are my people. They're the ones I want on my ship as I maintain full speed and sail further out into the waters ahead. Together we build each other up emotionally and creatively, validate our shared interests, keep each other aligned with our goals, be productive with our time, and be witnesses to each other's lives. That's not to say I don't want other personality types on my ship; crews exclusively made up of INFJs are of the skeletal sort. All are welcome so long as they don't interfere with my intended course. I compromised what mattered to me for a long time and I don't intend to lower sails anymore.

I am pretty stoked about what I get to share with you all today. A few weeks ago I was asked if I would be interested in reviewing a My Memories Suite digital scrapbooking software. At first I was like "WHAT?? I don't scrapbook! No way!" But then I thought about it some more and decided that this might be a great way to see what this program is like for a complete beginner...so I agreed!
What is My Memories Suite?
It is an award winning digital scrapbook software that is extremely easy and fun to use. My Memories Suite is rated #1 by Amazon and TopTen Reviews. Using this software, anyone can create digital scrapbooks, photobooks, cards, calendars and gifts without having to buy expensive and complicated software programs.
So here is the awesome part... The company who makes My Memories Suite gave me a promo code STMMMS31572 that I can share with my friends (that's you). By using this code at MyMemories.com, you can get $10 off My Memories Suite (you get it for $29.95 instead of $39.95) AND you also get a $10 gift certificate to use in their online store! Pretty nice, huh?!
Okay, back to my review...
What did I think about this software?
What did I think about this software?
Here are my honest thoughts from someone who is a card maker--NOT a scrapbooker "real" or digital in any way, shape or form!
1. It is easy enough to install...once you make your purchase, you get a link to the download. Simply download it onto your computer--then whenever you are ready to install it, just click it and go!
I did not have Quick Time on my computer, so that had to be installed first for the software to work properly--that took 10 minutes on my computer. Then you have to register the software--the product key is something you will need to have, but they conveniently include that in your confirmation email after purchase.
I have to admit that it's pretty simple to get started. You begin by deciding the size of your project with a simple click. Then you just start layering. There are drop down menus all over the place and previews of every element. You can change the colors, add textures, change the size, pretty simple and straightforward. It took a little while for me to find the "move the back/front" button, but it is on the top toolbar.
One thing I didn't like was that the flowers weren't in a full range of colors. So I wanted Amethyst flowers and couldn't change the colors on any flowers to match, so I just didn't use them.
Any extra kits you buy are readily available in the embellishment menu---AND there are other kits to purchase right there on the screen--AND it even shows you some that My Memories has for free. That was pretty nice.
The viewing screen is very easy to find your way around...I took a picture of it while I was doing my project. This shows you what my card could have looked like...but I didn't want to drain my purple ink! LOL!
So my project...
Ehh...I really didn't like using this for making a card.
HOWEVER, it would VERY easy to quickly reproduce something simple with this program--say if you just needed a whole bunch of really basic card fronts. That would make this software VERY useful!
I attempted to make one of the scrapbooks they offered, however my computer locked up every single time, so I think it requires more memory then mine has right now...but from what I TRIED to do, it would be VERY simple to make a digital scrapbook! I loved the layouts I looked at and the directions are SUPER easy to follow! I only wish my computer cooperated so that I could show you.
Okay, so long story short...
I would say that if you are exclusively a card maker then this software probably wouldn't be very worthwhile for you unless you were a hybrid card maker mixing digital elements with "real" ones. BUT, if you are a scrapbooker looking for an easier way to get the plethora of digi photos you have into an album, then this is TOTALLY the program for you! With the ready-made layouts and themed albums you could get albums done lickety-split!
So how about a chance to win the My Memories Suite v.3 FOR FREE?!!! Yep, that's right. You can get entered to win this #1 rated software:
1. Visit the My Memories site and telling me which paper pack or kit really strikes your fancy! (Mandatory Entry)

Stephen J. Cimbala: "Arms Control and the Trump-Putin Summit"
Subject: Arms Control and the Trump-Putin Summit
Date: Wed, 11 Jul 2018
From: STEPHEN CIMBALA <email@example.com>
Arms Control and the Trump-Putin Summit
By Stephen J. Cimbala
Stephen J. Cimbala is Distinguished Professor of Political Science at Penn State Brandywine. Dr Cimbala is an award winning Penn State teacher and the author of numerous works in the fields of national security studies, nuclear arms control and other topics.
As US President Donald Trump prepared to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin at their summit on June 16, 2018 expectations ran high. A number of issues were candidates to appear on the agenda. Among these issues was the problem of maintaining nuclear-strategic stability as between the world's two largest nuclear weapons states, the United States and Russia, and more broadly, among the rest of the international community.
There can be no doubt that the past formula of strategic stability based on reciprocal nuclear deterrence, nuclear arms control and nonproliferation is under siege and faces an uncertain future. As political relations between NATO and Russia have deteriorated since 2014, so, too, has the extent of their ongoing commitment to nuclear arms control. To the contrary, the US and Russia accuse each other of having violated the Intermediate Nuclear Forces (INF) treaty, are engaged in a new wave of nuclear modernization, and have left the fate of the New START agreement in a state of limbo. In addition, the decision by President Trump to withdraw United States support for the Iran nuclear agreement can only increase friction between Washington and the P-4 plus Germany who still adhere to the agreement.
With respect to nuclear arms control, it would seem that the simplest and most straightforward thing for the US and Russia to do would be to implement the option for extending the New START treaty until 2026. Agreement on this point would at least temporarily cap the two states' numbers of deployed and other intercontinental nuclear launchers and warheads. However, even this basic step, as well as more ambitious arms control measures, will have to confront at least five "wormholes" that threaten to create enough uncertainty to defeat the most conscientious efforts by the US, Russia and others to limit or reduce the numbers and capabilities of nuclear weapons.
The first wormhole is the advent of hypersonic nuclear and conventional weapons. These weapons are moving rapidly from the imagination of military planners into working prototypes and deployable systems. As outlined in Putin's dramatic address to the Russian Federal Assembly on March 1, 2018, hypersonic weapons might include: a nuclear powered and nuclear armed intercontinental cruise missile; hypersonic "boost glide" weapons, for example, Avangard re-entry vehicles launched from Sarmat intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs); and a new air-launched cruise missile (ALCM) capable of hypersonic speeds (Kinzhal). Presumably each of these systems would have the capability to maneuver in order to deceive antimissile and air defenses, since Putin's rationale for the new weapons was the growing threat from US missile defenses (see below). The United States has also indicated interest in hypersonic weapons, and until 2013 was widely perceived as the world leader in this category. Since then, increased interest in hypersonics by Russia and China has been noted in expert commentaries and media reports.
The second wormhole that complicates future nuclear-strategic stability is the problem of missile defenses. Russia charges that US missile defenses represent a proximate threat to Russia's nuclear deterrent, but the US argues that its missile defenses are deployed to intercept small attacks from rogue states or accidental launches. Russia's reasoning on this point derives from debatable assumptions about US strategy. Russia fears not only the possibility of a US nuclear first strike, but also a decisive conventional attack on its main nuclear forces and command-control systems (with so-called conventional global precision strike or PGS weapons). This disarming US conventional attack would be undertaken in the expectation that US missile defenses might be good enough to absorb Russia's degraded retaliation (presumably nuclear). As is often the situation with "worst case" military strategizing, this Russian version of a US strategy defies scientific credibility and social common sense. No US first strike, whether nuclear or conventional, would destroy enough Russian retaliatory power to allow for an "acceptable" Russian retaliation except by lunatic standards. However, another version of Russia's concern is that US political leaders or their military advisors might believe their own science fiction and, during a crisis, feel more optimistic about a "successful" conventional first strike. Let us hope not.
The third wormhole challenging orthodox thinking about nuclear-strategic stability is the problem of cyberwar. This problem has at least two different aspects. First, cyber attacks on nuclear weapons systems and command-control might create vulnerabilities that could be exploited by an attacker. Second, cyberwar conducted immediately prior to the outbreak of a crisis, but also during it, could confuse decision makers with respect to their opponents' actual capabilities and-or real intentions. In the fog of (cyber)war, the probability of mistaken decisions for preemption based on faulty assumptions or misinformation could increase significantly. This relates to one of the risks of hypersonic weapons. Weapons moving at Mach 5 to Mach 10 or greater will allow decision makers very little time to decide upon a response, compared to slower weapons. The combination, of leaders who were fearful of imminent cyber-confused command-control systems and of hypersonic attackers, would work against deterrence and nuclear crisis stability.
The fourth wormhole that increases the difficultly of maintaining or improving nuclear stability is the proliferation of nuclear weapons and the growth of civil nuclear power industries that create latent potentials for nuclear weaponization. The possibility of creating new nuclear weapons states in Asia and in the Middle East, with the potential for regional destabilization and the involvement of outside nuclear powers in local conflicts, poses a serious risk for world order. New nuclear weapons states and threshold nuclear powers will have to go through a steep learning curve on issues of nuclear deterrence, crisis stability and arms control in a very short time, compared to the decades of Cold War learning permitted to the Americans and Soviets. The possibility that new nuclear weapons states will try to "use" nuclear weapons in creative ways short of firing them (e.g., by playing nuclear mind games, supporting coercive diplomacy, or making threats to lose control of their own nuclear forces under certain circumstances) should be studied more carefully by existing nuclear powers.
The issue of nuclear first use is the fifth wormhole complicating the problem of maintaining nuclear-strategic stability. Nuclear first use is the term of art applied to a comparatively small and selective use of nuclear weapons, as opposed to a nuclear first strike, suggesting a massive and much more destructive (and decisive) blow by the attacker. The US 2018 Nuclear Posture Review called for development of a wider spectrum of low yield weapons for use on various launch platforms. One rationale for more low yield nuclear weapons was that the US should be able to respond to any Russian first use of tactical nuclear weapons in a symmetrical manner without being forced into an overreach at higher levels of destruction. The presumption is that the availability of "tailored" capabilities for tactical nuclear response would be more dissuasive to Russia or others who might try to engage in nuclear first use as a bargaining move. Russia, in turn, has indicated that it reserves the right, under certain drastic conditions of conventional war against Russia, to engage in nuclear first use for the purpose of military de-escalation. The Russian objective would be to warn against further pursuit of US or NATO escalation in order to open the door to negotiation and conflict termination.
Throughout the Cold War and subsequently, the question whether a broader spectrum of US nuclear response capabilities would increase deterrence credibility was hotly debated, mostly with reference to the deterrence of attack against NATO Europe. Very much depends on the assumed scenario at play. A wider spectrum of lower yield nuclear weapons might provide policy makers with additional "degrees of freedom" to manage a local outbreak of nuclear war and to prevent it from escalating into something worse. On the other hand, an initial use of nuclear weapons regardless of the size of their yields might signal to the opponent that preparations were imminent for something more drastic. The enormous symbolism of the first nuclear weapon fired in wartime since the destruction of Nagasaki should never be understated. In other words: each rung on the nuclear ladder of escalation has the potential to serve as a firebreak between levels of commitment and destruction; or, on the other hand, as a detonator of increased levels of violence. During the Cold War, US theorists and policy makers were more frequently willing to support a wider range of limited nuclear options than were their European counterparts. Current US nuclear modernization plans include not only the availability of more lower yield weapons, but also technical improvements in the accuracy and reliability of those weapons (for example, the US B61-12 with adjustable yields from five to 100 kilotons and a precision guidance system).
If the preceding list of challenges to the preservation of nuclear-strategic stability and world order appears daunting, what responses by leading nuclear weapons states and alliances might be appropriate?
First, the US and Russia should immediately agree to extend the New START treaty to 2026. New START provides for reasonable limits on deployments of American and Russian warheads and launchers and an inspection regime to support it. Along with this, Russia and the US should consider limitations on missile defenses capable of intercepting nuclear weapons of intercontinental range, excluding limits on theater or tactical antimissile systems because they are less destabilizing. Under such an approach, the first post-New START arms limitation agreement between the US and Russia would follow the pattern of the US-Soviet agreements in the early 1970s to limit both offensive and defensive deployments (START I and the ABM Treaty).
In addition to the extension of New START, Russia and the United States should agree to reboot and salvage the Intermediate Nuclear Forces (INF) treaty. Instead of volleying back and forth charges of noncompliance with the INF agreement, the two states should recommit to observance of this accord and to transparency with respect to suspect deployments by Russia or by NATO. Action on this point is urgent before INF expires due to malign neglect and reopens the door to entire new generations of INF-range deployments (ground launched ballistic or cruise missiles with ranges between 500 and 5,500 km).
Second, the United States, NATO and Russia should establish regular consultative mechanisms for expert panels of scientists, military officers, intelligence officers, and diplomats to exchange views and share expertise on issues related to nuclear security and strategic stability. Some additional life support should be provided to the NATO-Russia Council, among other institutions, for this purpose. Throughout the Cold War and even during some of its most dangerous days, Soviet diplomats, intelligence operatives and military officials met formally and informally with American and allied NATO counterparts. Thank goodness for that. Of course, this proposal will require rebooting of the decimated US diplomatic corps and restoring diplomacy and intelligence to their rightful places in the formulation and execution of strategy.
Third, and related to the second point, increased transparency is needed about states' views with respect to emerging technologies that might threaten strategic stability and about their commitments to develop or deploy those technologies. For example, will the modernization of US or Russian missile defenses emphasize the use of boost-phase technologies and, if so, does this imply the deployment of space based interceptors as well as space based sensors? As another example, what are the Russian, American (and for that matter, the Chinese) views of antisatellite weapons (ASATs) and their potential deployment in space? Apparently the US, China and Russia anticipate the eventual deployment of satellites that can repair or refuel other satellites and collect space debris. However, these same repair-refuel satellites could have the capability to stalk and destroy another state's satellites on short notice.
And, speaking of China, it is high time to engage Beijing in nuclear arms limitation talks, even if the talks are lacking in transparency compared to the historical success of US-Soviet and US-Russian nuclear arms reductions. Regular consultations among military and other experts from all three states could raise shared awareness about each state's nuclear priorities and strategic thinking. For example: what is China's view of US-supported missile defenses in Asia, and how does it compare to Russia's view of US missile defenses in Europe? Or, what is Chinese strategic thinking about the role of hypersonic weapons in future Chinese military strategy?

Ayurvedic Autumn Routine
In March, autumn hit the southern hemisphere: the weather started to cool down, the colors of the trees started to change and there is this certain crispness in the air.
When the weather starts to deteriorate, the body struggles to protect itself and stay balanced.
From an Ayurvedic point of view, autumn is the season of transformation; but also of deficiency. The season is governed by the Vata (Air) dosha, which is seen as windy, cold, rough and dry, and thus, being in tune with the environment around us.
This can be felt in body and mind: as the leaves on the trees become dry and brittle, so do our skin and joints; when the weather becomes changeable, so does our mind.
When all is in balance the influence of Vata can make you feel light, carefree, creative, spontaneous and energetic. You might feel very creative and motivated during this season – ready to take on new projects! However, Vata is easily disturbed and governs the nervous system. So when it gets out of balance you may feel spacey, unstable, anxious, fearsome, experience insomnia, constipation, dry skin and even stiff and painful joints.
Seasons change, and so should we.
To tune in with the outside change, you may want to adapt your diet to keep Vata in balance. By connecting with the natural laws of the season, we can create a sense of balance in our mind and body. It's also important to ensure building a strong natural immunity, nourish deficient tissues and thicken the skin to prepare and insulate for the cold winter months.
How to keep your body and mind in balance during Vata season:
- Introduce Warmth
- During Vata season you want to eat warm, cooked foods to counterbalance Vata's dry, cold and rough qualities. Warm foods combined with good quality oil like ghee ground and calm the restless Vata. Avoid summer foods, like sandwiches, salads, dry cereals and cold milk. Usually, the body intuitively gravitates to earthier, warmer, richer foods during this season.
- Favor sweet, sour and salty tastes.
- Consume warm drinks such as spiced milk, Vata tea and ginger tea regularly.
- Increase your intake of warming spices such as ginger, basil, cardamon, cinnamon, salt, cloves, mustard, black pepper, fennel, and asafetida.
- Stay Nourished
- To prepare the body for winter and to counteract the drying nature of autumn, eat rich, moisturizing foods, such as good quality dairy (un-homogenized and organic), oils such as ghee, olive and avocado, and tonic/immune boosting herbs and foods like ashwangandha, almonds and dates.
- To combat dry skin, you might want to try self-oil massage. Use warmed black sesame or almond before showering.
- Keep Grounded
- A regular routine and plenty of rest is the best way to combat Vata. Wake up, exercise and eat preferably at the same time everyday. This helps to anchor you into the cycles of the day to stay focused and clear.

"Barry, I read your amazing, kind and spacious book. Thank you for putting into words the path I have been walking. You are very brave to open yourself to the world... My favorite thing I am taking from your book is, kindness is the
actionof compassion." -- Robin
I enjoyed this book. What I liked most about it was the fact that the author really wasn't prescribing any sort of belief system or way of living. He detailed his own story and how his practical Buddhism applied to his life. I think many people will find this book engaging and will be able to take pieces of it to enrich their own lives. I myself share the author's philosophy so I may have had a different reaction to it than some people might. For me, it was nice to read the thoughts of someone who thinks similarly to myself. That's always comforting, isn't it? --James
"Short, readable chapters, with enlightening personal examples, make this an easy, but not shallow read. Several things in this book, though far from my own personal belief set, will be tumbling around in my brain for awhile, sure to find expression in some changes in my life. Thanks for sharing, Barry!" --Kate
Mr. Morris' religious journey took him outside of religion altogether to the mindfulness at the core of Buddhist practice. He recounts this journey in the format of a self-interview, a structure that emphasizes the stripping-away of the unessential in his personal story as well as in the form of practice he describes. His approach shows a good way to reconcile the benefits of practice with non-Asian culture, secularism, or even with your existing religion if you are so inclined. --Meg
The Practical Buddhist strips away a lot of the chaff normally found in Buddhist books and just provides the wheat. It provides access to a belief set that I have studied for years and presents it to those new to Buddhism in a simple, easy to understand way. It has joined Mindfulness in Plain English by Bhante Henepola Gunaratana as sources I recommend when asked about what I believe in. Well done, Barry! -- Jeff
What you'll learn by reading The Practical Buddhist
- How Practical Buddhism differs from traditions that include ritual and ceremony
- How to recognize the source of suffering
- How to use the Eight-Fold Path as a means to eliminate suffering in your life
- What Practical Buddhists think about prayer and the existence of God

Reflection for 2016 and plans for 2017
2016 is quickly coming to an end and I wanted to create a different type of video where I share some of my thoughts as I look back on the year. Generally, I find summer more challenging for landscape photography. The light is harsher, there is much less cloud and I'm less inspired to go out on photography trips. Conditions here in Perth over the last few weeks have been particularly challenging, with strong winds that have made capturing images difficult.
But this challenge provides opportunities to explore other avenues of creativity. That and look what turned up just before Christmas...
This channel is a relatively new channel, I uploaded my first video roughly 6 months ago. It when I took a trip down to the South coast and decided I wanted to capture the experience on video. So I took what equipment I already had that could capture video (basically my iPhone and an old GoPro 3) and just started filming. At that stage I wasn't even sure I was going to share it with anyone or upload it to Youtube.
So in 25 weeks, I've done 22 videos, exactly half of those have been in the Perth area, with the other half in regional locations around the south-west of Western Australia. I've already started to plan more trips for next year including one overseas - more about that later!
As of filming this, I've had over 130,000 views in the six months and as of yesterday just reached 5000 subscribers. Much of the success of this channel can be attributed to the huge support I get from you guys , I just can't thank you enough for all the likes, comments and of course subscribing! A special mention to all those who has shared my videos through various social media channels, like Facebook, Redit and photography websites. It undoubtably helps me reach a wider audience.
If you'd like to be notified when I upload my next landscape photography adventure, please subscribe to my YouTube channel.

Everyone knows that getting each day exercise is an important factor in staying fit, sustaining or shedding weight, and being healthy general. And, we now have all heard the advice that folks walk at least 10,000 steps per day to take care of good health. Low wages additionally imply that folks hold in search of a better job, turn over is greater, and experience goes with those employees who discover higher wages. If they can not discover higher, then they have dissatisfaction with a job which may effect efficiency and health.

The extreme acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) epidemic emphasised the need to strengthen regional health collaboration.
