Johannesburg, 23 June 2018 – The 'Tropics Business Mixer' 2018 was truly an event like no other… A great opportunity for South African and international Entrepreneurs in the country to network with a room packed with members of governments, business owners, professionals, young entrepreneurs, activists and business start ups from all across Johannesburg. It was a networking afternoon that gave a taste of what's to come on 16-20 October 2018 at the Parktonian Protea Hotel during the fast-approaching TROPICS BUSINESS SUMMIT that aims to celebrate Africa and its thriving business communities!
The #TropicsBusinessMixer was a bit of a show, a bit of fun and a great way for delegates to meet new people and get those business ideas buzzing. Last year's Summit created a real buzz about business startups in South Africa and the continent. This year is set to be even bigger and better as we invite you to celebrate Nelson Mandela and Albertina Sisulu Centenary. Plus we have some exciting news which we will be revealing on the evening of our Tropics Gala Dinner & Tropics Awards where two anti-apartheid Legends, Mama Winnie Madikizela-Mandela and Mama Albertina Sisulu, will be honoured posthumously. The only way to find out is to be there… and the first step is simply booking your tickets through Computicket .
If you missed the #TropicsBusinessMixer2018 held at Radisson Blu Sandton, here are some of the highlights…

The Tropics Business Mixer 2018 pre-networking event also tackled the challenges brought by the new generation of African Leaders, allowing them to share resourceful approaches on doing business on the African continent, powering the Intra-African Trade and implementing policies that work for Entrepreneurs on the ground.
Together as a community, the purpose of the pre-launch event was to forge new synergies, engage new partners, investors and facilitate best practice sharing between companies of various industries, to acknowledge the challenges and the opportunities ahead, to develop a clearer vision for Investors and Entrepreneurs about their strategies and to propose a set of solutions that could find their implementation ahead of the main event which is scheduled from 16 to 20 October 2018 at the Parktonian Protea Hotel by Marriott.
The cofounders of the TROPICS BUSINESS SUMMIT namely, TROPICS HOLDINGS, CREB HOLDING and MERiTS GROUP, along with their Strategic Partners SACONO and PILANE DEVELOPMENT CENTRE shared their expertise on Investing in Africa, Entrepreneurship, Financial Partnerships and Social Development.
Participating companies such as TURQUOISE HARMONY INSTITUTE, KAMAROUTES TRAVEL DESIGNERS, AFRICA BUSINESS RADIO, MAMOYO MEDIA, FOREVER LIVING, ABR DIALOGUES, YOUNG WOMEN IN BUSINESS NETWORK to name but a few, presented their case studies during mini-talk sessions and a closing panel discussion, which engaged participants in meaningful discussions around entrepreneurship and innovation.
The cherry on top was the keynote address by Mrs. Nontsikelelo SISULU-SINGAPI, Chief Director at Department of Women in The Presidency and Chairperson of the YOUNG WOMEN IN BUSINESS NETWORK and Granddaughter of the late South African anti-apartheid Activist, Mama Albertina Sisulu, and the wife of fellow Activist Walter Sisulu who was affectionately known as 'Ma Sisulu' throughout her lifetime by the South African public.
« Mam'Albertina stood for the emancipation of women. This struggle is still not over. When we talk about prioritising investment in women is about freeing women« , said Nontsikelelo Sisulu-Singapi Chief Director at @Dept_of_Women and MaSisulu's granddaughter
In closing, Gauteng MEC for Arts and Culture, Mrs. Faith MAZIBUKO, brought the house down during her closing remarks. She attended the TROPICS BUSINESS SUMMIT 2018 pre-launch event to commend the organizing committee and all their Partners for their great efforts in branding South Africa as the top business destination on the continent.
Officially announced as the new Matron of the TROPICS BUSINESS SUMMIT by Mrs. Tintswalo Cassandra MAKHUBELE (General Secretary of SACONO), MEC Faith MAZIBUKO thanked the organizing committee for choosing the Gauteng Province as their province of choice. She also emphasized on unity among cultures, ubuntu, and most importantly she pushed the agenda on Women Entrepreneurship and Leadership. Exploring the impact of South African Women in Leadership, she reminded the young generation to draw strength from the female struggle icons and emphasized on the fact that leadership has to become intergenerational, with a mechanism to bring in young people and work with them. She particularly highlighted that the Gauteng Province would start generating awareness about the upcoming Summit and will facilitate connections at the Provincial and Government levels for not just a successful Summit but to stimulate Intra-African Trade which is also one of the missions of the TROPICS BUSINESS SUMMIT.

Happy May Day !!!
Anyhow, Daisy and I were able to squeeze in a teeny, tiny bit of sewing today .... working on that cherry fabric apron and matching chef hat ...... when who popped in for a visit .....yes it was Kitty .... and she decided she would LOVE to have a chef hat too and would we make her one .... so, first we had to measure her head ...
...then while Daisy and I were sewing, Kitty got bored and started wandering around the pink sewing room .... when she came upon this magazine that I bought a couple of days ago (also at the grocery store)
I've never seen this "B" magazine before (I think it stands for "Boomer" as in Baby Boomer?) .... but the lady in the flowered bathing cap caught my eye and I just HAD to buy the magazine if only for that picture .... could it be that my favorite flowered bathing cap is becoming a trend??????) Anyway, when Kitty saw the magazine she immediately ran home to get HER flowered bathing cap .....
....then she wanted me to take her picture in front of the magazine ....
....oh, and then I remembered a catalog of bathing caps came in the mail yesterday ..... so I brought it out for Kitty to look at ....
.....now I thought I was doing Kitty a favor .... I thought she would enjoy looking at all the different bathing caps in the catalog in case she decides she wants a new one ..... was she appreciative? was she grateful???? ..... you would think so, wouldn't you? .....but NNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOO!!
...she was in a snit, drove over the magazine AND the catalog, and left in a HUFF ..... she said something about why wasn't SHE asked to be the cover girl on the magazine in HER flowered bathing cap? and why wasn't she asked to model flowered bathing caps in that catalog???????SHEESH !!! (as you can see, I didn't get much sewing done today ....oh well, maybe tomorrow!!)

June 19, 2016
Dear Friends: Since 1980 we have been involved in the Mining Industry when we mainly promoted and assisted Junior Mining Companies. On balance these Companies did very well for their investors and returned many times the investment that investors started with. We are very proud of having assisted these Companies in the previous Mining Cycle which ended in June of 2011. Based on our experience in the Mining Industry and to benefit our ROI, we have since the resumption of the Mining Bull Market Cycle, which stared in November 2015, expanded our focus by adding the search and analysis of quality Mining Industry investments ("New Beginnings") and preferably those companies with excellent projects and with solid reserves and cash in the bank. So that our Paid-for Subscribers can get positioned first in these Mining Companies we recommend, they will be made aware of these investments one month before our Free FDNN letter subscribers receive the information. Our added focus is reflected on our Website as follows:
Trading Based onMARTIN ARMSTRONG'S "SOCRATES" ALERTS&IdentifyingQUALITY MINING INDUSTRY INVESTMENTS * * *
The week of May 20, 2016: Martin Armstrong (MA) BREXIT & Gold – The Fed - Mistakes Made Based on the of the Socrates (SOC) Full version Trader Level forecasts MA reported on June 13, 2016: "As accurately forecasted by SOC we did see the highest Weekly close for this range in several weeks for Gold." MA also stated: "However, this is a turning point and the next three (3) weeks should be the start of higher volatility. A high this week [the week ending June 17] implies a low thereafter and if we make a new low for this range at that time, then we can see a rally following the next turning point." Consequently, our focus for our Paid-for subscribers is finding the right money making trades during the next three (3) weeks. BREXITWith the BREXIT vote on Thursday, this week is probably one of the most volatile and therefore the toughest to make trades in. It is our Opinion that if Britain leaves the EU then afterwards, we may not see a tremendous difference in the US$ and US dollar denominated stocks. But, if Britain stays in then EU currencies will be flowing into the US$ and large blocks of these 'Money Flows' will find their way into US$ Bonds and the shares of US corporations. These Money Flows will also benefit and Quality Mining Industry Investments in precious metals. Please noteIn the past investors have gone by the mantra Gold up – US$ down and Gold down – US$ up. This mantra will still continue for a while but, as per Martin Armstrong there will be a drastic change in these believes as we move into 2017 when we will see the US$ go up at the same time as the Commodities and Precious metals are moving up. MA - The FED and its credibility"The Federal Reserve pushed back its plans to raise its benchmark short-term interest rate, which was widely expected following the jobs report previously. Yet this was not a credible day for the Fed in the least as they are starting to appear to be confused and skitzofrantic. Fed credibility is beginning to create a crisis behind the scenes generating doubts about monetary policy moving forward. The Fed's monetary policy appears to be wondering aimlessly trying to figure out what to do with conflicting problems on both side of the dividing line. It's not clear that the Fed has a grip on any theory and is revealing that those at the top perceived with so much power, are helplessly a drift in a ship without sails, rigging, a rudder, or an engine. Consequently, after a two-day policy meeting, the Federal Open Market Committee emerged unanimously voting to hold the federal funds rate between 0.25% and 0.50%, that they are paying banks to hoard cash in excessive reserves. They are in bed with the bankers who tell them then need a place to park money without risk. The entire idea of quantitative easing was to inject cash to "stimulate" the economy. But that policy never achieved its goal and the US economy bounced back, but it was a dead-cat bounce. This has been the worse recovery in Post-Depression history because they have paid bankers not to lend money. Paying bankers .50% to hoard money has caused the velocity of money to collapse altogether. European banks are shipping cash to that States and parking it at the Fed to achieve that same riskless trade. The Fed cannot break free of the bankers to see what they are actually doing is not stimulating the economy, but causing it to contract. Here we have the Dow electing our Daily Bearish Reversal and Gold electing a Daily Bullish Reversal all because they FAILED to show the world they have this under control. Yet this reaction from the markets is terribly interesting. The Dow declines because the Fed DID NOT RAISE RATES, and gold rallies for the same reason. This is counter-trend to the general "fundamental" expectations. The Dow was doing well with the prospect of a rate hike until the jobs report and it rallied but stopped dead with the Weekly Bullish Reversal at 17800. Gold crashed but held our critical Bearish Reversal at 1206 and bounced. While the gold crowd thinks a rally is good because the market will crash, at the same time we have the Dow declining with lower rates instead of higher rates. These trends are showing extreme stress in the financial markets overall." Mistakes MadeWe have made mistakes but, as the saying goes, "Don't look at where you have been but, where you are going" therefore, we will endeavor to eliminate mistakes although; we all know that as humans, we will still make them; we will try our utmost not to make them. Once the Trader Level full service is launched this month and we stop trading based on the Trader Level Beta test, then we expects we will certainly be able to eliminate most of our mistakes made.

The plant itself can certainly grow more flower stems. Cut off the damaged parts of the plant and continue to care for it.

The conference was held in Bratislava on 5-6 February, BelTA learned from the press service of the Belarusian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Speaking at the plenary session the Belarusian diplomat told the attendees about Belarus' efforts to preserve the memory of the Holocaust. One of such efforts was the commissioning of the second stage of the Trostenets Memorial project. He emphasized the importance of learning the lessons of the Second World War and educating people, in particular, the youth, about the war, in order to prevent such tragic events in the future. "Oleg Kravchenko noted that Belarus is ready to continue working with the OSCE to combat anti-semitism," the foreign ministry informed.
Taking part in the event were OSCE Chairperson-in-Office, Minister of Foreign and European Affairs of the Slovak Republic Miroslav Lajcak, Austrian Minister for Europe, Integration and Foreign Affairs Karin Kneissl, OSCE Secretary General Thomas Greminger, official representatives of the OSCE member states, NGOs, national and religious communities.

Wyv and Keep: New Co-Op Puzzle-Platformer
February 8, 2011 6:00 AM | Eric Caoili
Three-man indie studio A Jolly Corpse posted this first trailer for Wyv and Keep: The Temple of the Lost Idol, a fun looking puzzle-platformer with 16-bit-style graphics, targeting Windows, Xbox Live Indie Games, and Windows Phone 7 (Mac, Android, and iOS ports planned for the future, too).
The premise of the game is two "notorious thieves", Wyv and Keep, are "weary of the mundane life of thievery" and are now travelling the globe to search for lost treasures. The pair work cooperatively, navigating boxes to switches while avoiding traps, enemies, and obstacles.
A Jolly Corpse compares the gameplay to Blizzard's beloved SNES title The Lost Vikings, as it encourages you to switch between the two thieves to solve different puzzles in single-player mode. There's also a two-player mode planned if controlling two characters is too much for you.
The studio hasn't yet announced a release date for Wyv and Keep, but it says a playable preview is coming "sooner rather than later."

4 independent reviews for Yukon dog sledding holiday, Canada
Reviews for Yukon dog sledding holiday, Canada
Jill Dobbie review 2 Jan 2018
1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?It was all amazing! Working with the dogs was a highlight of course, they are incredible. But also the way the trip was put together; our guide was fantastic, and the whole ranch team were wonderful and really went out of their way to make things tick. The landscape just takes your breath away and makes you glad to be alive and privileged to be there.
2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?A reasonable level of fitness will help - expect a bit of running in snow :) Don't take too much stuff - the recommended pack list is fine.
3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?Yes, all of the above to some degree. It's adventure more than conservation, but done with care for the environment and with as minimal impact as can be managed.
4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?Truly brilliant.
Ali Barned review 18 Mar 2014
1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?Working with the dogs was my favourite part of the trip. I loved meeting all the different dogs and getting to know their different personalities. They are such great workers and I miss them now I am back home.
2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?I have had surgery on my knees and the sledding did cause a bit of pain for me. If you are fit and healthy then you should be fine and enjoy the trip. There was no power at the lodge where I stayed but it was very enjoyable to live without any technology for the two weeks I was there.
3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?It definitely benefitted the dogs, all they want to do is run. It was a very environmental friendly holiday as no electricity or technology are used for the entire trip. The dogs love getting out on the trails and it's great to get out in the fresh air.
4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?I had an amazing two weeks! If you are thinking about it, book it! Even with my dodgy knees, and that I wasn't able to do all the runs, I still had a fantastic time and want to go back. The guides were all fantastic, and had different tips and tricks for sledding. I loved the dogs and miss my team. We had terrific home cooked meals every morning and night. Every aspect of the trip was great, thanks to everyone at Sky High Wilderness Ranch!
Helen Weir review 7 Apr 2011
1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?The Alaskan Huskies!!!! The dogs are just incredible... athletic, fascinating to watch, and beautiful. Our guide Laird was fantastic as were all the other people at the ranch. This was a 'working' adventure and we did work. We started each day with breakfast, packed a sandwich and thermos, went down to the dog area, scooped poop, readied the dogs/sleds and off we went! Everyday was a new adventure. Back for late afternoon snack, clean up then dinner. The meals were made from scratch - everyone pitched in cooking and with the clean-up.
2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?Travel light and do the layers. I purchased 'Hot Chillys' #10 thermals top and bottoms and they worked well. A pair of light weight ski pants, fleece top (thin worked for me), wool sweater, scarf, thin fleece gloves and hat. I rented their jacket/coat, sleep bag and mits. I was there in February so needed a pair of boots for going potty outside. Wear house light weight shoes for inside. Knowing how to ski/cross country would be an advantage as trails up and down and switch back. There is no power (they use propane) so no cell phones or TV.
3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, and minimized impacts on the environment?The benefit is for the dogs. They are treated with respect and are loyal and very friendly and they do get excited :) I have fond memories of all the dogs from my team. The ranch recycles everything. The dog poop is scooped and sent to a company for recycle. Local people do work at the ranch.
4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?I had a fabulous time. Pushed my limits. I am a back packer so I knew what the lodge was like and what my out put would be... We all worked hard but worked together. Met some very cool people. Whitehorse (was only there on arrival and departure day, is a great town. Small but perfect. The whole area in Winter is very 'white', pristine and kickback. I say, go and play and learn something new. Most people I know are just amazed that I booked this trip on the spur of the moment and went alone. I am glad I did... this has been 'one' of the best holidays I have been on... I like the 'working' vacations. My next trip maybe Cambodia teaching English...
Lee Unsworth review 12 Apr 2010
1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?I would say the trip up to the trappers cabin to stay overnight as this was a pretty challenging run with the dogs but truly awesome once we got up into the mountains. Some of our group did decide to take a few of the downhill stretches trying out various "freestyle methods of dog sledding... on knees, stomachs and backs... Also, falling in love with at least couple of my dog team. (Gomer / Riley / Amigo / Leica / Yoda / Boomer) If I could have brought them home I would. And the food - what we were given to eat was fantastic EVERY day. Our guides looked after us both outside and in!
2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?Expect a bit of hard work if you want to do the higher trails but you will reap the rewards! If you are new to dog sledding as was I, try to anticipate the hills and jump off and help them a little before they grind to a halt and you will keep them moving rather than leaving it until they have pulled as far as they can...They do appreciate it! Don't "over-pack". You need thermals etc, but don't think you need to be changing clothes every day. We took far too much and didn't use half of it. The fact is, it is pretty "sweaty" work and you just have to go with the flow. Its not a fashion parade. :) Also dont take thick clothes...layer. Don't be afraid... when you see a grizzled giant 7 foot tall mountain man looming toward you through the trees... that's just Ian, he owns the place. :) He's a true gent.
3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, and minimized impacts on the environment?I would say running dogs through the mountains is very environmentally friendly.
4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?Fantastic. I have always wanted to try sledding and finally did. Now I just need to convince my other half to go again next winter!
Read the operator's response here:
Thank you for sharing your appreciation of the journey you both went on with us, and for the useful packing tips. While this is definitely a more active kind of Canada holiday, it is still one that people of all ages who are reasonably fit can safely engage in. As you mention, participants are able to go all out if they choose or to step aside, enjoy nature, take photographs and drink tea while at camp out in the Yukon wilderness. Small groups allow individual passions to be fulfilled in a way that is rewarding for all. Guests like you help us positively influence the importance of preserving wilderness areas and of developing Yukon tourism products that truly tap into the distinctive character of destinations.

Guest Post By Brett Bivens
Editor's note: The following post delves into what is sometimes called the 'Chicago approach' to building companies. The Chicago method focuses on early revenue, and frugality over delayed top line and higher burn — the incipient Groupon days aside, of course. According to the article's author, investors in the Midwest are more bullish at the moment than their global peers. Let's find out why.
The following post was written by Brett Bivens of Visible, where he operates in a business development role.
Compared to other groups of investors, venture capitalists have outsize influence on the way companies in their universe operate, and on the degree of optimism or pessimism in the market as a whole.
A recent tweet from fellow Chicagoan Devin Matthews, a partner at private equity firm ParkerGale sums things up nicely:
"No buyout funds have as much power to steer market values like @benchmark @usv @a16z do in VC."
Last year, in an effort to find out just how good venture capitalists are at predicting the future of the market, we launched Sentiment Index. The Sentiment Index is a quarterly survey and report that tries to understand how venture capitalists will invest in the future and what impact that will have on things like valuations, funding, and exit opportunities.
While the single and three-year time horizons that we ask about in the survey are yet to come, we have been able to take the pulse of investors during an interesting period, as euphoria has passed and an uneasiness seems to weigh on the market.
That discomfort, however, seems to come mainly with an ocean (or San Francisco Bay) view.
During the fourth quarter, in what has become a recurring theme in The Sentiment Index, investors from the Midwest displayed a far more optimistic outlook in almost every area that we measure, leading to a 23 percent advantage in Midwest investor sentiment compared to the global index.

multiple domain admin access
muzzer posted a topic in General SupportHey, I have a multi domain setup on Processwire 2.7. It's NOT using the multisite module or anything like that. So how it goes is I have a VPS with the main processwire system and website setup on it. Then I have virtual hosts with thier "secondary domains" which symlink to the PW /site and /wire folders but have their own .htaccess. In the .htaccess of each secondary domain I redirect to a specific folder in processwire directly off the / (home) folder So domain1 (lets call ir domain1.com) is the main domain with processwire setup on it. Domain2 (which we'll call domain2.com) has the symlinked /site and /wire folders (targeting domain1 /site and /wire files/folders). Domain2 also has it's own (not symlinked) .htaccess pointing any domain2 requests to /domain2 page and children on the PW system. Hope that makes sense. I've been using this for years and it works brilliantly and is simple to add domains to, all which use the same PW system and database. So the PW page tree looks something like /home (ie domain1.com) /domain2 (ie domain2.com) /childpage1 (ie domain2.com/childpage1) /childpage2 (ie domain2.com/childpage2) /childpage1 (ie domain1.com/childpage) /admin (ie domain1.com/admin) ...etc Now however I wish to access /admin from domain2 - domain2.com/admin/ But it seems I can't do this because any domain2 requests correspond to the page /domain2 and it's child pages and the admin page is above this in the pages tree, so invisible to domain2 Does anyone know if there Is there any way I can access /admin from domain2.com? Ideas?
Hey @abdus, Thank you! I was not aware you could do anything like this! Love it. BTW the ugly styling in my screenshot was just the default from the snipping app, I never meant you to copy it so accurately! Bonus points for that. @tpr thanks for the AdminOnSteriods suggestion, it looks interesting, will check it out. Cool name too.
muzzer started following WireMailMandrill, Show field label besides field name in "edit template" view. Possible?, Speed, using find vs children methods and and 1 other
Similar (related) question. I have templates with up to 50 fields. I don't work in the Admin much but do use it to lookup values on pages and with my poor memory, and even with pretty good naming convention for my fields (some are similar) I often lose track of field names. Is there any way (short of manually appending the field name to the label) to show both label and field name above the field input. Essentially, is there somewhere an option to automatically append the field name to the field label. Please see screenshot for basic idea: Thx
bigger..... and slower.
muzzer posted a topic in General SupportI have what is building to be what I would consider a large site and am starting to notice a few pages running slower than I would like. I've been looking at various options for speeding them up and it seems the database interactions are probably the part which drag the most. So now I'm trying to understand how PW handles queries and pages objects so I can program more efficiently, so my question is: $bookings = $pages->get('/bookings/')->find('room=roomOne'); foreach($bookings as $booking) $roomData = $booking->find('date=' . $today); In the above snippet is the third line performing the find() on the $bookings pages object in memory or is it querying the database again and using the $bookings ojects to refine the query? I'm trying to reduce the database queries (especially repeat queries) so understanding this would be helpful.
Speed, using find vs children methods
muzzer posted a topic in API & TemplatesI just had a duh! moment and thought I should share as it may be useful to others, especially PW beginners. I know a lot of you will go "yeah well duh...." and yeah, well I feel like a bit of an idiot but anyways.... I had a page outputting a table detailing data from about 200 records (PW pages). For each record it searched for child pages of a certain template, probably averaging 3 child pages per record and added some data from those pages to each row of the table. Simple stuff. The page was averaging about 12 seconds to load. Anyway, today I got frustrated enough to try to work out why it was so slow. Turns out I realised that the child pages I was searching for were all direct children, so I changed my search method from $pages->get(....)->find(.....) to $pages->get(.....)->children(.....) and blow me down the page load has gone from 12 seconds to a tad over 1 second. Turns out each child page had many child pages of their own (thousand of pages in total) and all these were being searched with the find() method. Stupid mistake, but I think right from the beginning of my learning of PW the find() method was ingrained. So hopefully this helps some newbies and others like me. Check out http://cheatsheet.processwire.com/page/built-in-methods-reference/page-find-selector/ and http://cheatsheet.processwire.com/page/built-in-methods-reference/page-children-selector/ for more info on these methods and others.
kia ora Robin, Yeah, that looks like an ideal start. And I will likely start learning about PW modules in the process. Sweet as, cheers mate.
Hey thx Adrian, agree with you. I do use Lister Pro which is awesome, but I also use the page tree a lot when flicking between pages, hence the question....
Page info on hover?
muzzer posted a topic in General SupportI can't find the following but I'm sure I'm not the only one who would use such functionality so it must have been thought of and perhaps implemented in a module; I find when I'm using the page tree in the PW admin that I'm often opening (editing) many pages just to check the field values - one of my sites has a lot of user input so fields change regularly without my necessarily knowing. This can get annoying as I either lose the page tree when clicking the edit link, or I need to open in a new tab, both of which are slow processes when checking multiple pages, and I end up with loads of open editing tabs. I'm wondering if anyone has created a module to simply show basic page field info in an ajax tooltip when hovering pages in the page tree? If not, is this something a intermediate programmer such as myself could feasibly develop into the PW system or is this realistically a project for gurus only?
muzzer replied to Craig's topic in Module/Plugin DevelopmentHave to agree Pierre-Luc, mandrill is pretty sharp. I've been using it for about four weeks with this module and it's been 100% reliable (which I can't say for my previous SMTP setup. The API is sweet and the dashboard is pretty bloody good to boot. This is one system I'll use again and again. Cheers Craig for getting me onto this.
About hosting and latencyI trialled a subdomain to get concurrent requests. It worked, but the domain lookup time for the subdomain killed and benefit I got from concurrent requests. How does one get around this, how can I set the domain caching to say two weeks to minimise domain lookup delay? Or am I on the wrong track?
did for me
Hey @horst, seems this is indeed the issue, I presume singular:true only allows or reuses a single instance of the class. Thx
Yeah thx @tpr, that's what I was originally doing. However I was extending wireMail with added the module WireMailMandrill to send via Mandrills API, but this in conjunction with new wireMail(), causes the WireMailMandrill function tags() to throw an error: tags does not exist or is not callable in this context $mailTwo = wireMail(); $mailTwo ->to('firstname.lastname@example.com', 'recip two') ->from('firstname.lastname@example.com', 'Sender Two') ->subject('Subject two') ->tags('my tag') ->send();
If I wish to make two wireMail calls one after the other - how do I reset the member vars set in the first call? $mailOne = wireMail(); $mailOne ->to('firstname.lastname@example.com', 'recip one') ->from('email@example.com', 'Sender One') ->subject('Subject one') ->bodyHTML($htmlMsg) ->send(); $mailTwo = wireMail(); $mailTwo ->to('firstname.lastname@example.com', 'recip two') ->from('email@example.com', 'Sender Two') ->subject('Subject two') ->send(); $mailTwo appears to have both recipients email@example.com and firstname.lastname@example.com, and also has $bodyHtml content set from the first wireMail instance. I'd like all $mailTwo member vars to be unset to being with. I would have thought this was default behaviour, where am I going wrong? Are $mailOne and $mailTwo not complete separate instances of wireMail?
Mandatory (OK, not mandatory—recommended) MandrillThx for this Alan, been checking out Mandrill since reading your post earlier, and running some test emails etc. Looks like a pretty sweet system. Will check out the API over the weekend as that looks pretty sharp also I think I'll be moving all my site emails to Mandrill. Cheers.

On one side you have a casino magnate from Nevada along with a host of politicians from California, Nevada and within the Obama Administration who want to force this humble tribe out of existence and replace them with non natives. It's all about the money and gambling revenue and these hopelessly corrupt politicians eagerly want to cash in on the lucrative gambling industry. On the other side of the coin are card carrying Miwok people who don't want corrupt politicians to steal their blood right and tribal sovereignty. Talk about identity theft, this is a bold faced fraud falls more in the category of bunko rather than political. In an interview with tribal elders including tribal chief Silvia Burley the names of Barbara Boxer, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid were unmistakably entrenched in this conversation. Apparently they have a vested interest in the fraud that is being perpetrated against the sovereign Miwok Nation either directly or triangulated. In short, fraud and criminality as well as hopelessly corrupt politicians and a casino mogul with unlimited resources and deep pockets laid siege on this nation knowing this tribe does not have the financial capability to fight this well funded adversary. The tribe's only hope to survive the latest attempt to take their lineage away from them is to petition Indian Country, the American pubic as well as the world for assistance. Their coffers have been empty since their tribal funds have been illegally stopped in this elaborate game of chess perpetrated by morally bankrupt BIA officials. And it's all about the money Paisan, it's all about the money. The real issue is tribal sovereignty and not just in California but throughout Indian Country since the Crow Creek Sioux Nation of South Dakota was the victim of an Internal Revenue Service land sale, on sovereign tribal land. That was an absolute violation of tribal sovereignty guaranteed by the federal government, again. The story about the Crow Creek Sioux Nation should be an example to other nations since this is a very dangerous precedent. The violation of sovereign rights is becoming a trend with various unscrupulous politicians and corporate thugs who continue their reign of greed and hatred for the indigenous people of the continental United States of America. Now we have thugs and corrupt politicians with millions of dollars to spend while bankrupting the Miwok Nation. The prize will be to steal their federal recognition, their name, their lineage and replace them with people who will "play ball" with non native investors. On the bright side there will be a nice shiny casino with their tribal name boldly embossed in lights. Since non natives would assume the role of Miwok people I wonder where the real Miwok would have to go. Would they still be considered American Indian? Or will they be relegated to "Other"? Maybe the feds will move them to Oklahoma and join them to another tribe. But what about all the money the BIA illegally withheld from them to try and starve them out. Will they get their back pay or will the government make a new excuse as to why they do not deserve illegally withheld funds? I just wonder. The tangled web of corruption places Barbara Boxer, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid smack in the middle of this scam to steal a tribe's heritage and their sovereignty according to inside sources. Sadly as the truth evolves it places the Obama Administration in the hot seat since this crime may involve popular Democratic Party officials. Their close relationship with other unscrupulous business associates will undoubtedly come into focus as well. With money and a hand full of corruptible politicians laws will be ignored for the sake of the corporate bottom line across Indian Country since this is only the beginning I fear. But in the case of the Miwok Tribe they will not go down without a fight even if they do not have the deep pockets of a casino mogul to feed their struggle. I have included the latest press release from this beleaguered nation. Your Devil's Advocate Buffalohair —————————————————————————————– PRESS RELEASE: Picket the Central California Agency-Bureau of Indian Affairs The California Valley Miwok Tribe invites you to join us in our open protest against the local Bureau of Indian Affairs, Dept. of the Interior, Central California Agency. Our Tribe is a federally recognized Tribe that is listed in the Federal Register as an Indian Entity Recognized and Eligible to receive services from the United States Bureau of Indian Affairs. Wednesday, January 6th, 2010 & Thursday, January 7 th, 2010 Time: 10:00 A.M. to 1:00 P.M. (each day) followed by a 1 hour Press Conference (each day) For more info contact the California Valley Miwok Tribe at (209) 931 -4567 http://www.californiavalleymiwoktribe-nsn.gov and http://californiavalleymiwoktribe.us The Central California Agency — BIA is illegally trying to re-organize a federally recognized Tribe that has never been terminated, that has a Custom and Tradition Tribal Constitution ratified by the Tribe in March 2000. The local BIA has been illegally withholding our Mature Status 638 Contract since 2008 and by refusing to confirm to the California Gambling Control Commission who our duly elected Chairperson is, BIA has caused the CGCC to illegally withhold the Tribe's Revenue Sharing Trust Fund Monies (RSTF) since 2005. Our civil rights have been violated. The local BIA is also violating federal law. We (the "Tribe") have no money to fund our Tribal Programs; all employees have been laid off since Dec 2007. The Tribe cannot pay its bills, and the only Tribal Property (1% acres of land at 10601 Escondido Pl., Stockton, CA 95212) has been foreclosed on. The Sheriff's Department is scheduled to evict the Tribe and its members off the Tribal Property on January 15, 2010. We are demanding that our funding be released immediately so we can save our Tribal Property and not be homeless. We are demanding fair treatment by the Bureau of Indian Affairs. We are demanding that an investigation into the inappropriate actions and treatment of our Tribe, by the Bureau of Indian Affairs. The Dept of the Interior – BIA mission is to "protect and honor its trust responsibilities to American Indians, Alaskan Natives and Affiliated Island Communities", so why have they failed so miserably with protecting the California Valley Miwok Tribe?
