"Our Story" written by the children of St. Andrew's Episcopal Church
For our stewardship project his year, we saved our change and gave it to the Heifer Project. The Heifer Project helps needy people around the world by giving them animals. The animals help them with food and other hard jobs like pulling heavy carts full of water to their homes.
Over five months, we raised over $750. We talked about what animals to buy. We decided by consensus to buy one water buffalo, two goats, one hive of honey bees, three flocks of ducks, two flocks of chickens, two schools of fish, two rabbits and one water pump. Then we decided to donate the rest of the money. The Heifer Project will decide what it needs most.
We know that these animals will change the lives of families and we are proud we are helping families in a good way. Amen!
The end of hunger isn't a fairy tale
Welcome to the Heifer family. Donors, volunteers, recipients and our teams around the world share a common goal: To end hunger and poverty in a sustainable way. It's a lofty goal, but we know it's achievable. Together we are the family that can create this change.
Together we can make cows fly
See stories of how lives are being transformed around the globe through Heifer's work in more than 40 countries.
Heifer's Work Around the World
See where Heifer is working around the world to end hunger.
Long Time Donor Reminisces about 1976
When Cows Fly: Early in 1976 I learned about Heifer International and thought it sounded like an outstanding organization. To become involved, I decided to produce an afternoon musical. Along with other volunteer musicians, we presented our "Goat Concert" in May of that year. We raised $160--enough to send two goats! I am very fortunate in having abundance to share and am still able to support Heifer by donating a goat and some chicks each year. Thank you for helping me do that. Sincerely, Carol King PS: Enclosed is a photo of me singing in our "Goat Concert" in 1976.)
Annual Heifer Festival in Ohio Raises over $75,000
I first heard about Heifer in the late 90's when I had graduated from Auburn University's College of Veterinary Medicine and was practicing as a mixed-animal veterinarian in central Pennsylvania. (I am originally from Selma, Alabama.) One day as I was traveling my route doing my scheduled herd checks, checking cows for pregnancy, I noticed that farm after farm had missing farmers. This really was strange because my farmers hardly ever went on vacation. I finally asked where everyone was and was told that they had accompanied a shipment of heifers overseas for a group called Heifer International...
Duck Tape Holds the World Together
Olivia Demberg, a young Heifer International supporter, recently sent the following letter to Heifer CEO Pierre Ferrari detailing a project proposal that she pitched to ShurTech Brands CEO. Click on the story title to learn more about Olivia's unique and inspiring initiative...
A School Teams Up for a Good Cause
Our students were very honored that they were able to donate money to help others through Heifer International. The boys and girls competed against each other to see who could raise the most money and then we combined it and had the Consumer Math Class find out all the different ways we could spend the funds. The students enjoyed themselves and were pleasantly surprised when they got the box of pencils and pins. It was a very kind gesture and the students still continue to brag about how wonderful they think the pencils are. Enclosed is a group picture of the students who donated. Thank you again. Melissa King, OCA Teacher
What Heifer Gifts Mean to Jasmyn
Dear Heifer International, Thank you for all you do. It is amazing how your charity helps so many people in the world. I always send my tzadaka to you. Sincerely, Jasmyn
A Determined Birthday Girl Shares Her Big Heart
"My 9-year old daughter, Anabeth, was inspired by a story she read in school where a young girl's family received a goat. That family sold the goat's milk and it allowed the young girl to attend school. After reading the story, Anabeth came home and found Heifer International. She browsed through the pages until she decided that she wanted to raise $500 on her own to buy a heifer. She took all of her birthday money, scrounged up all the change in the house, called family and friends, asked church members and even spent a Sunday selling lemonade and tea to raise the $500 she needed in less than two weeks! Donations came pouring in when people heard about what she was doing. Today, we were able to purchase the heifer for her. We are so proud of her and the impact she has made on our community." After checking in with Anabeth's mom, she replied with an incredible update on Friday, March 20, 2015! "Also, since I emailed, I wanted to let you know that she has officially earned an excess of $150 above her goal! Now that she has purchased her heifer, she is going to purchase a goat and some chicks after school today. She is very excited. She has also inspired at least three other kids in her class who are saving for water buffaloes and heifers as we speak."
Coins for Cows
At the beginning of March 2015, Heifer International received a flier from Kate Prominski and Betsy Svanda, 7th grade Social Studies teachers in Michigan. The adorable flier detailed a fundraiser that they hosted with their students. It reads: "The Lakewood 7th grade Social Studies class has been studying Africa and feel compelled to raise funds for the Heifer Project. Heifer International is a global non-profit with the goal of ending poverty and hunger in a sustainable fashion. Our goal is to raise $620, which will buy two water buffalos ($500) and a pig ($120). The coins will be collected until Friday, February 13th!" After reaching out to Kate, we discovered that this wasn't the first time they had hosted this fundraiser. She shared that the Coins for Cows fundraiser is an annual event for the 7th grade Social Studies teachers. A few years ago their students were so enthusiastic that they were able to raise over $1,000! Kate went on to say: "Betsy and I put together a funny video of us finding change in different places in order to encourage the kids to donate. We kept a daily total and challenged the students each day by showing them an inspirational video found on YouTube from Heifer. Every student who donated was able to sign our 'Heifer' poster. By the end of the fundraiser, our poster was filled with almost a hundred names of students who made this fundraiser a success. We are proud to say our students exceeded our goal and raised over $624." Kate ended her email thanking Heifer for all that we do, but truly, from the bottoms of our hearts, we want to thank those 7th grade Social Studies students for so enthusiastically supporting Heifer's mission!
The Wildcat Cafe Raises Money for a Beehive
Dear Heifer International, We are a class at a school in Brookfield, Wisconsin. Every month we sell coffee and cookies at a cafe we have named the Wildcat Cafe. We use the money we make to go on field trips, buy things for our classroom and for special projects. This month we decided to donate part of the money we made to your organization. Our class voted and decided to buy a hive of honeybees for someone in need. We are happy to see the money we earned put to good use. Sincerely, Ms. Steinke, Ms. Rodeman, Mrs. Welch, Mrs. Surtees, Ellen, Melissa, Desmon, Brendan, Brandon and Abbe
A Bake Sale Does More Than Raise Money
I'm happy to enclose a check for $200 raised by our first grade students through a cookie sale and family donations! Our students were very enthusiastic in the roles they played to help purchase animals for needy families. Their awareness of the needs of others was heightened and the realization that children can make a difference in our big world was made clear. I've included a picture of three of our students with our learning fair display. Thank you for your assistance with our project! Sincerely, Mary Smith
An Anonymous 4th Grader Shares Their Enthusiasm for Heifer
Dear Heifer International, I really enjoyed doing this project to help kids in need. We raised $835.00. With that money we bought four animals and two items. We even had money left over. I think more kids should do this project. What if it was you that would be able to go to school or to get a goat? You would be very excited. I like helping kids in need. That's what I like about this project. It gives kids the opportunity to have a pet or go to school. Thank you. Sincerely, H.E.S.
A Quick Letter from Hatfield Elementary School Student Maisy
Dear Heifer International, I hope that the 4th grade's purchase of a water buffalo, an irrigation pump, sending a girl to school, a goat, a flock of chickens, ducks and geese really help a family. What I really like is that the gift of the animals purchased aren't just going to be used for one family, but it's a gift that keeps on giving. I look forward to knowing that a family has been changed! I really hope this will make a difference in a family! Sincerely, Maisy
What Heifer Gifts Mean to Maeve
Maeve, Heifer International would like to thank you for sharing your idea of a world without hunger!
Second Graders Give Back
In June of 2014, Heifer International received the featured letters from a classroom of second graders in California. Along with these letters was a very generous donation towards a Flock of Hope, raised at their school's annual Spring Fling. Their letters read...
To You From Me: A Note to Heifer's Project Participants
Noah's note reads: "To you from me. Hi, I am Noah. I helped raise money for your goat. I hope you enjoy goat's milk. I live far away from you in a place called West Chester in a state called Ohio in a country called the U.S.A. I hope this goat brings you lots of joy. Your U.S.A. friend: Noah"
Messiah Lutheran's Caring and Sharing Project
"Dear Heifer International, Please accept the enclosed donation for the purchase of six flocks of chickens. This is the fifth year in a row that the students of Messiah Lutheran Church and School's Vacation Bible School have donated money to Heifer as their "Caring and Sharing" mission project. This year from July 15 - 19, 37 students and 31 volunteer staff exceeded their goal of three flocks of chickens! This was the most successful VBS mission project to date! Everyone was very excited about this accomplishment! We are a small, older congregation and the VBS program is an important part of our ministry. Heifer's goals of ending hunger by providing animals to families in need of better nutrition and added income fits well with our "Caring and Sharing" project. Many of our students return year after year and some have become volunteer staff as they got older. They are all familiar with Heifer and look forward to seeing which animal will be selected each year. We anticipate many more years of joining with Heifer International and introducing many new students to the Heifer program. Sincerely, Mike & Nancy Keeton"
The Empty Bowls Fundraiser
"In March (of 2014), the elementary Art Department at Hilton Central Schools hosted an Empty Bowls fundraiser to raise money for the fight against hunger. Students in 3rd through 6th grades each made a handcrafted bowl in art class to donate to the cause. On March 5th, we hosted a simple meal of soup and bread and sold the bowls for $5 each. In total, we raised $2,135.25, which we are donating to The Bridge of Rochester, The Hilton Cadet Cupboard and Heifer International. With many thanks for your service and all you do for this cause, The Hilton Elementary Art Department (Ariana D'Angelo, Samantha Powley, Laurie Steele-Sperber, Jan Dentino and Emilie Sears) and our 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th grade students!"
A Birthday Movie Night Sends a Girl to School
My daughter had a fundraiser birthday party. Thirteen children were in attendance and many donated cash and checks toward her goal (to donate the gift of education to a girl). We were very excited to see how many people supported this cause and donated. Thank you for the opportunity to support such a good cause and to help me teach my children to give with their whole heart. - Elaine Eggert PS: It rained that night so we ended up having it indoors. We still had a blast!
The Environmental Charter School Makes a Positive Difference
As part of the Environmental Charter School's (ECS in Pittsburgh, PA) ongoing goal to make a positive difference in our community, we decided to extend that goal to the global community and launched the "Read to Feed" initiative. Kindergarten to third grade students were sponsored for each minute that they read totaling an hour. The end of the four week fundraiser coincided with the Read Across America day on March 2nd. On that day, the donations were counted and our students read for one hour during the day. Our fundraising goal for ECS was $500. We doubled our goal and raised $1,000. Way to go ECS! - Shannon Shupak
What Heifer Gifts Mean to Kate
Heifer International would like to thank Judy and Greg for donating in honor of this featured artist, Kate!
What Heifer Gifts Mean to Liv
We would like to thank 3-year old Heifer International supporter, Liv, for sharing her vision of a world without hunger!
The First Juniorette Club in Minnesota Shows Support for Heifer
The GFWC Morris Golden Star Juniorette Club is a group of sixth grade girls who joined the General Federation of Women's Clubs in the Fall of 2013. They are the first juniorette club in Minnesota. They chose Heifer International as their main project for 2015 and got busy making money. They were excited about being able to choose the animals they wanted with the money they raised. The projects they worked on to earn money were: a rummage sale, collection cans in local businesses, helping at the Lions Club bingo booth at the county fair, a L'BRI show and a Tastefully Simple show. They sent a $600.00 check to Heifer International along with the list of the animals they wanted to purchase. They worked hard and had a lot of fun learning that they can actually help someone less fortunate.
LAHSA's Change for Change
"All you have to do is give your change to make a change in the world." Perla, business letter excerpt Every year, the freshman class at Los Angeles High School of the Arts (LAHSA) raises money to support Heifer International through a semester-long project called "Change for Change." LAHSA is a theater arts-focused school that uses project-based learning to integrate the arts and academics and give students real-world experiences.
Phi Sigma Pi - Gamma Sigma Supports Heifer on Pi Day
This shirt is a fundraiser for Phi Sigma Pi - Gamma Sigma at Missouri State University. All the money raised will go to Heifer International to buy an animal for one of Heifer's project participants. Giving an animal is like giving someone a small business, providing wool, milk, eggs and more. Animal donations can provide families a hand up, increasing access to medicine, school, food and a sustainable livelihood. Depending on how much money is raised we can buy a pig, goat, cow, chickens, ducks or even a water buffalo!! Please help us raise as much money as possible by buying this awesome Pi Day Shirt!! Please visit the following link to purchase a shirt: http://teespring.com/pi-day-shirt-profits-go-to-he.
St. Charles Borromeo Living Gift Market
A few weeks ago, Heifer International heard from Anne Nixon-Ellery with St. Charles Borromeo church. She briefly described an upcoming event that her church was hosting with a link to the focus of their Heifer International fundraiser. "Hello! We are having A Living Gift Market on March 4th to raise money for this amazing charity. I have also designed a tee shirt; all profits will go to Heifer. It's available for a few more days: http://teespring.com/heifer-fundraiser." Needless to say, we had to learn more. I reached out to Anne and she shared the following with me:
Young Entrepreneurs Give Back
At Canyon Creek in Austin, Texas we were studying how the economic system works and wanted to raise money to make the world a better place. Our students voted for Heifer International. They then got busy and made items that they could sell. Many were recycled projects or crafts that kids would like. They learned about supply, demand, cost, production, advertising and sales. I am thrilled that these 62 students raised $ 1,500 for you. You have inspired them to be entrepreneurs and to give back to the world around them.

Rated 4.1 out of 5 by 10 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by George Great suit Great suit especially for the price. Comfortable and great for summer. It will work perfectly for my beach wedding February 18, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5 by BigWaveDave Very classy coat..a cut above all other linen jackets I have owned. I particularly am proud of the unique stitching on the lapels. I bought this in preparation for a trip to the Caribbean and now I feel I'm really ready. I put it on and I can taste the Mojito in my mouth and and the tropical breeze blowing through my hair. September 30, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by CaptainJack Large??? Our concepts of "large" don't quite mesh. I've considered myself an "almost-large" size in most upper-body clothing, but your "large" jacket would hardly button (I'm 5'11", 175#). Thankfully, your customer service rep., Helen, did a superlative job in helping me with the return-and-reorder process. Hopefully, the "extra-large" jacket I've ordered will fit better. July 22, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by FunandSun Good but not great Bought last minute as I was in a pinch. Good service helped it arrive timely. Coat definitely runs on the small side. I am a 44L and the Large is snug under arms and a little short in sleeves. Material is ok for an inexpensive coat and it does wrinkle quickly. Worth the purhcase. March 31, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by battalla1 Nice jacket but not for guys with even the smallest pot belly Love the jacket but just not cut for us guys with a bit of a belly... In not fat but Have just a bit of a pot belly build and it's just not a good fit and the sleeves come very long as well. March 20, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Frank Just what I needed I bought this blazer along with the matching pants to attend a beach wedding. The replacement fit nicely and "breathed" well. The on-sale price is what made this purchase an almost perfect experience. My only issue was that the sizing chart is not correct. I followed the measurements exactly and the corresponding size was too small so I had to get the next size up. It came on time so I had a complete outfit for the wedding. I received nice compliments. October 26, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by TropicalTraveler Great Item Great Service I order this jacket and although I know it is a "slim" size, I looked at the wrong sizing chart. So when it arrived, it was a bit too small. I called customer service and had the privilege of working with Luz. She helped me order a replacement jacket and helped with the return. I will definitely order from Cubavera in the future. And thank you to Luz, she made the entire process as painless as possible. October 2, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by JeFi Good choice for wedding! I bought this suit for my groom to wear at our outdoor wedding. He is not the "suit" type but he really liked it when he tried it on. The blazer matches the pants well and the "slim fit" accentuated his athletic frame without being too tight and uncomfortable. September 28, 2013

Came off a two-day free trial period for The War Gate and made some sales. Just dropped the price to $1.99, hoping it picks up some more.
I now have 39 submissions out to some pretty good houses, many of which pay at least a token advance and higher. So the waiting begins on that. Trying to gain some steam in my content writing for DMS and Textbroker. Many quite a bit of money last month, but it's slowed down a little now.

I made some sales last month, is what I meant to say--you never get huge cash dumps for books unless they're bestsellers.
Thanks for asking, tmso.
I have the novel Planet Janitor Custodian of the Stars and its two prequel short called Planet Janitor Journey Interrupted and Planet Janitor the Moon is not Enough.
The Wolfen Strain, a Crichton-esque werewolf book--thriller
And The War Gate, a paranormal romance/thriller.
One link (below), and then clicking on my name should bring them all up at Amazon:

The years, how they fly!
Submitted a novel to a publisher that warns they would take up to a year to consider.
Received a rejection e-mail within six hours.
...wondering if there's a message in this.
October 8th, 2012, 02:40 AM #2795
I think the message is probably "their slush pile was nearly empty". Who was it?

When you get that rejection back fast...
Simply means they are not reading any submissions at all - just turning them around. You never even got looked at, so don't bother wondering what "went wrong".
October 8th, 2012, 02:35 PM #2799
OT: Glad to see the work paying off. I am hard at work writing scenes/chapters for my work-in-progress. Not ready to reveal too much at the moment, but very happy with how it's turning out so far, even though I know I will probably need serious revision once I get it finished.
October 10th, 2012, 10:55 AM #2800
Now over 5,000 words into my novel, and for the first time I have a good, general layout of how this story will play out. I'm prepared to branch off if the characters demand it, but it's been nice getting a process down that works for me. After years of reading how-to books, I never thought it would turn out so simple in comparison: I just had to start at the end, find a beginning, and then figure out how the characters got from point A to point Z. It sounds simple now, to me, but I labored for years trying to make it linear, and I just couldn't get it going.
October 11th, 2012, 12:49 AM #2801
I say "simple", but of course everything's relative. Because of other commitments it has still taken me two years' slog to get to the point where I have a finished and edited version of the book that I am happy enough with to think about submitting. Still the satisfaction of finally being able to write "The End" at the end, and mean it, is not to be underestimated!
Sillak - have you had much interest in your short story? I have wondered whether something like that would be a good promotional tool if/when I ever have something to promote...
October 11th, 2012, 12:38 PM #2802
Close to 8,000 words down now, and very close to the most I've ever written on a dedicated piece. As a notorious 'start but never finish' guy, this is new ground for me; I'm pumped.
October 22nd, 2012, 12:23 PM #2803
20,000 words into my new fantasy, 'Islander'.
Anyone up for test reading five chapters? Happy to swap time and effort in kind.
October 22nd, 2012, 12:31 PM #2804
Almost finished the first page of the super hero book in a alien super hero book series I am writing. This was mainly inspired by Daniel X.

"No More John Kellerman for me."
I have read or listened to every J Kellerman out there and always enjoyed reading his books. Since I have been listening to him on Audible, I have decided this is my last one. His stories are repetitive. It just seems he has lost his touch for the thriller. Jon Rubenstein is the other reason I can no longer listen to any of his books. He is a good Milo but for the rest I feel his voice is so grating. Sorry Mr. Kellerman, you have lost a reader and listener with this one. Movie stars, murders, cleaned bones and a tribe of kids. A cross between Michael Jackson and Angelina with a touch of true evil thrown in. Seriously? Actually if I could get my credit back I would be very happy.
This book is so convoluted and makes so many twists and turns that make no sense to the story that the author must have been listening to voices I could not hear.
"Little Lies Always Turn Into Big Lies"
I find Liane Moriarty's books to be incredibly moving. The way she weaves her characters in and out and then entangles them in the guts of the story is masterful. She certainly nailed life in a rich town. You get the good, the bad, and the ugly. This book is about abuse of all kinds: verbal, emotional, and physical. I think it certainly is pertinent to the times. It is set in Australia so the narrator and accent are a bit irritating, but the story overrides all. Definitely a must read for any woman who has ever been controlled by a male, her kids, her schedule, her job, etc.
"Colin Bateman is hilarious"
I have read most of Colin Bateman's books and they (or I) are so quirky, they never fail to make me laugh. Whenever I am a bit down I read" I predict a riot, murder, Extortion and a carrot cake." I LOVE HIS WRITING but I think you have to suspend belief and just go with Colin on his fantastic voyages.
"INCREDIBLY Sad Tale"
The voice of Tom Smith once again brings us a story with vivid characters, interesting environs, and a weird tale that turns out to be so real and so sad. It keeps you going back and forth in your belief of the activities going on. In the end, our past forms our future. He is a worthy author and this book is worth your time-just keep digging through to the end.
"I Could Use A Wife Too!"
Funny, silly but for those of us in real life who cannot seem to ever get ahead with all the responsibilities, it was fun to imagine such a person in the background. Narrator a little shrill but British accent makes it acceptable.
"Exactly What I Expected"
if you need a break from books about dysfunctional families, etc., this is just a simple light hearted mystery that you can read and not think about too much. These books are really valuable to me, because I need some brain drain time and love the cozy mysteries as the remedy. I can't give it a higher rating because it is not the caliber of writing or depth of story to get more. I still recommend it.
I think I first read To Kill A Mockingbird at age 12 and have read it more times than I can remember. This is the first time I have listened to it and Sissy Spacek did a great job. I did some research on Harper Lee and found information that was new to me: I found her integrity fascinating. Whenever I get down about the state of our country, I read this book and know that even a few people with moral integrity and lack of prejudice can make a difference. Too bad those people are not in Congress. I also grew up in Georgia and was 12 in 1960 so I saw the civil rights fight first hand. How silly people with racial prejudice seem through the eyes of Harper Lee. I applaud her for her courage.
"High Heels Fool You"
Because protagonist wears stiletos, I thought this book would be more like a Stephanie Plum or Kyra Davis, but it actually had substance to the story and some violence. Not light hearted at all. I found I enjoyed the story once I stopped looking for the jokes. I have purchased her next book and am looking forward to a real journalistic mystery.
Book starts off with interesting premise but obviously writer had no clue where to go from there. I would have rated it 0 if that was available.
"Likeable but routine plot"
Too much gratuitous sex for this type of book. The storyline was cute but I got sick of them having sex every time they see each other.

Welcome to the Joomla! Google Summer of Code (GSoC) 2009 project ideas page. As we move forward with the 2009 version of the Joomla! GSoC, we will use this page to develop possible project ideas. Please note that anyone who is interested can participate in this process. You do not have to be a GSoC student or mentor to suggest possible project ideas. Thanks!
The core polls extension has been removed from Joomla! 1.6. Develop a fully featured poll/survey suite that will allow relatively simple user polls and the collection of complex anonymized survey data authenticated against either the Joomla users database or an external database. Possibly look to [1] as a model or integration.
Right now we only have frontend editing for articles, there are a few improvements I can propose
Extend the template manager so that it providers an better environment for template creation and modification. Improvements might include:
Create a 1.6 Extension to flexibly manage workflow for com_content. Ideally it should be extensible to other components, but com_content should be used as the proof of concept. Work flow should manage the publication process, including assignment of editors or publishers to specific content items, notifications of relevant actions to specific individuals or groups, change of status to block author editing of published work.
As much as possible administrators should be able to construct their own work flows.
Create a 1.6 content versioning extension with the goal that this work could be integrated into the core Joomla CMS for future releases. The Page Versioning Extension will allow the ability for frontend and backend content users to be able to save and re-publish/revert previously saved versions of content items that they have access to.
Further user permissions could be introduced in order to restrict access to this overall feature.
Features could include a visual and html code difference between the current and previously saved versions, as well as general searching data such as dates and time of previous saved entries of that content.
Create a 1.6 Taxonomy extension with the goal that this work could be integrated into the core Joomla CMS for future releases. The Taxonomy Extension will allow the ability to organise content for classification, improving on the current Section and Categories classification.
Taxonomy is a vital feature of modern CMS solutions, evolving from the previous "pigeonholeing" of a content item. Full organisational structures and multi tagging of content could be included, including powerful search functions of content under those classifications.
Taxonomy is a missing feature in Joomla!, which another open-source competitor product currently offers. We have seen a number of opportunities when Joomla! misses out on being the chosen option for a CMS due to the lacking of this feature.
Keywords in articles are an important part of many Joomla! sites. They are used for page rankings but also can be used with Related Articles modules and component extensions. In this capacity, they provide a way to relate articles that is much more flexible and free-form than the built-in Section / Category / Article hierarchy.
Currently in Joomla!, keywords are entered when editing each individual article. This has several disadvantages, including:
To deal with these issues, a back-end Keyword Management extension is proposed. This extension would allow the following capabilities:
Currently in Joomla!, there are built-in Menu Items for list and blog layouts for Sections and Categories. However, the way a list of articles is selected is tightly bound with the way the list is displayed on the page. In theory, you should be able to have a list or blog layout that shows any selection of articles.
To provide this capability, an extension is proposed that would provide layouts similar to the current list and blog layouts. However, the extension would be designed so that the list of articles is provided by a plugin instead of being integrated into the layout. Example plugins could be provided to mimic the current Section, Article, and Front Page layouts. However, the power of this extension is that the user could add their own plugin that would provide a list of articles using any type of query. This list of articles would then feed into the built-in layouts provided by the extension to turn the raw article list into the desired layout.
Work has been started on this but the number of unit tests currently in use is small. We need to add many more unit tests. Also, currently unit tests are only able to be used for class methods. We have no way, for example, to test page layouts or module insertion into templates. Part of this project could be to research automated testing solutions to test the complete HTML code sent to the browser. This would allow end-to-end automated testing.
Write a test runner that makes it easy to run unit tests from a web browser. The existing unit test framework is based on running PHP from the command line. While this is essential for integrating testing into the build and release process, it's a barrier to using tests during development.
This project involves adapting web-based test runners provided by PHPUnit to support the "Joomla!" testing environment.
CiviCRM is a powerful constituent relationship management system designed for the not-for-profit/nongovernmental organizations. It currently integrates with Joomla! and the 2.2 version is native to Joomla! 1.5.
CiviCRM has a rich API only small parts of which are currently easily accessible from the Joomla! front end. Create a series of plugins that allows the flexible and highly integrated use of the CiviCRM API in Joomla Content, modules, and other core and non-core extensions (such as com_user, com_contact_diretory or calendaring components).
For this project the student should plan on interacting closely with both the Joomla! and CiviCRM teams.
Develop a suite of front end Joomla! 1.5 extensions (modules, plugins and a Joomla! style MVC front end component) for CiviCRM.
CiviCRM is a powerful constituent relationship management system designed for the not-for-profit/nongovernmental organizations. It currently integrates with Joomla! 1.0.x and 1.5 in legacy mode, and and the 2.2 version is native to Joomla! 1.5.
Thus far most functionality for CiviCRM in Joomla! has focused on the administrator. This project will focus on fuller development of the CiviCRM Joomla! front end.
This development might include modules, plugins, and a MVC front end component which will allow exposure of various CiviCRM APIs as well as allowing Joomla! users the ability to use template overrides and other ways of controlling design and functionality in ways they are familiar with.
The core of this project will be the completion of a Joomla! MVC front end component for existing front end functionality, the basic skeleton for which has been incorporated in CiviCRM 2.2.
Additional items might focus on modules and views to display information.
Some of these will focus on the display of and interaction with general information, for example:
Some will focus on the display of user level information such as:
CiviCRM is an open source constituent relationship management system used by NGOs and advocacy groups (like Amnesty International, Wikimedia Foundation or the Joomla! and Drupal projects) all over the world. Judging by the number of community-contributed and -maintained translations and civicrm.org statistics, CiviCRM installations exist in over twenty languages using various alphabets (Latin, Cyrillic, Arabic, Devanagari, Chinese). Multi-language support is essential in multilingual countries (like Canada or India), as well as in cross-border (e.g., Central and East European) and worldwide organizations.
For this project the student will extend the multilingual features of CiviCRM (initially created during Google Summer of Code 2008), including (but not limited to) some/all of the following:
CiviCRM is an open source constituent relationship management system used by small and large NGOs and advocacy groups, some of them spanning across many smaller (and not-so-small) organizations and/or divided into subgroups, chapters, etc.
The goal of this project is to extend the current CiviCRM ACL capabilities to cover the needs of such multi-part organizations, as well as CiviCRM installations that span across many organizations (with various strengths of ties between them).
The new ACL features should include (but not be limited to):
Create a component that will handle standard errors (ex. 404) so that headers are sent for the error code, but the error is trapped and redirected from the error.php file back to Joomla! where it can be handled on a normal webpage.
The following improvements could be made to the current Joomla! Media Manager:
Joomla comes with a few core components, and a Whiteboard/Wiki component would be a great addition to those. It would be a basic implementation of the feature with the following possible features:
The core extensions can be modified to produce semantic markup. The tables should be replaced withmore appropriate containers for the contents. This would not replace the need for template overrides, but rather make the default output stronger to build upon. The output should also be arranged to best suit the content in the majority of situations. Perhaps also a basic system reset CSS file would need to be developed to set some of the basic layout items, also to be easily disabled.
The core output cannot be replaced completely without causing many 1.5 templates to break. Therefore it would be necessary to either have a legacy mode for templates or to automatically detect the template type (1.5 or 1.6) in order to provide the right output.
Modules can be defined in a template to have pretty much any name they wish. While this is great for template makers, it would be good to have at least some guidelines about naming modules. Module names like user1 and user2 are essentially useless semantically, and to administrators of a site. Some templates are designed for any module to fit in any position, but in general there are at least a handful that are designed with the menu, footer, and other aspects in mind. Perhaps Joomla can create some guidelines (not requirements) related to this.
Each version of Joomla comes with a set of templates, and they are updated with each major release. 1.6 is currently in development, and will need a new set of templates. These templates should:
There are many little improvements that would help with general usability and administration for Joomla users.
Easy page layout template system so that editors can choose from a pre-defined range of layouts. This could be useful when certain pages all require the Name, Date, Author name, photo in a certain area, tagline etc. Content item templates could be defined, then saved and authors could then choose from this list, helping sites with larger article content to retain continuity throughout their areas of pages.
XML files are used in various places throughout Joomla. Historically, the installer XML files have had DTDs against which they can be validated. However, there are a number of known issues with these DTDs and there are other XML files used in Joomla that have never had DTDs written at all. Furthermore, DTDs can only catch certain classes of errors within XML files and we need to look beyond DTDs to look at XML Schemas to catch other classes of errors.
The idea is to have an component on admin side that allows articles to be edited based on the frontend navigation, Something similar to Typo3 adminimplementation (just 2 and 3 in the image).
Magento is an actively developing award winning open source eCommerce platform. The idea is to develop a bridge between Magento and Joomla. More info about Magento can be found from the following websites: Magento official website Magento online demo Store tour video Admin tour video Best of Open Source Enterprise Applications
Xinha is a powerful WYSIWYG editor, which supports plugins. So administrator can customize their working environment and even write their own plugins. The idea is to integrate Xinha into Joomla! with ability of editing content from frontend and backend. The editor environment must be configurable, output HTML code must be W3C compliant, for that we will need also to implement HTMLPurifier plugin into Xinha.
You can try Xinha editor plugin demo for Joomla! 1.5. More info about Xinha can be found from the following websites: Xinha official website Xinha demo Currently available Xinha plugins
Usually administrators are working on their live site directly and sometimes they do mistakes as all people do. Usually the live site get's messed after extension installation/uninstallation process and re-configuration. The idea is to have a working copy of the live site and make changes to it, then if everything is okay after some testing, you can approve changes and the tool will synchronize changes to your live site.
Some of the steps, which will need to be done to complete this project:
Elgg was providing an elegant and powerful solution for anyone who wants to create their own online community. Elgg is free and open source and powers all kinds of social networks - from education and business to martial arts and rugby. If you are looking for a professional social intranet or just want to run a site for your fishing club, Elgg is a great choice. The idea is to develop a bridge between elgg and Joomla. More info about elgg can be found from the following websites: elgg official website elgg community online elgg Documentation
Some of the steps, which will need to be done to complete this project:
Update Systems presently doesn't have an easy to navigate structure for handling the large amount of information that is potentially available when a user wishes to install new extensions into their system backed from the update system. Updates are presented already and temporarily uninstalled items are also displayed as a technology demonstration of what can be achieved using the new system.
A completely new look extension install manager is required to help make meaning of the information that the update system exposes. In part this system should also expose information about existing installed extensions in the system (including any pending updates they might have) as well as new extensions that are available. Its purpose should be similar to the way that "Synaptic" works on Debian or Ubuntu operating systems.
The majority of the data loading framework is build already permitting the enterprising developer to focus primarily on interfacing with the installer system and building a useful user interface to make containing these extensions very easy.
Areas of further development involve research involving the development of a Firefox plugin (or similar) that stream lines installing Joomla! extensions from a web site perhaps similar to the way that Firefox is handled. This would involve developing a service that facilitates authenticated remote installation procedures.
With the development of the new infrastructure there is a need to create an independent update server to make a developer's life easier when installing creating extensions. The update server should in part offer a download facility where users can download directly from it via a front end Joomla! component as well as something that will generate XML files statically on the file system and dynamically dependent on the administrator's choice. The XML files should be generated in the defined format that already exists and should handle updating automatically.
Expanding on the system it should be able to push notifications out through an extensible plugin system as well as handle automatic mirroring of the files (again via plugins). An example of a notification plugin could be something that automatically updates the JED or posts a new article in a specific category with changelog information. An example of a mirror plugin could be something that automatically uploads files to a release on JoomlaCode, perhaps even creating the release automatically as well. The location of generated XML files should be configurable as well and may also be requested to be uploaded to external resources as well (e.g. a mirror server for the XML update files).
The application should make the most of new features introduced into Joomla! 1.6 such as the Forms API to provide plugin customisable interfaces to various systems.
An extension of this would be the provisioning of content plugins that handle the integration of download URL's and version numbers for packages that are handled through the system to allow Joomla! content items to interact with the system in a flexible manner.
Proxy functionality would also be desirable to have the update server function as a slave to other sites and permit updates through a proxy. This would also involve a method for mirroring the binary files onto the proxy server as well but has some interesting different functionality to the main project.
This is a major project consistent of various subparts. It should be undertaken by someone with at least a basic understanding of how Joomla! operates and developing for Joomla!. This is not a good starter project. Students should show an interest in this area and be happy to work in an agile method with tighter deadline for individual projects to come together as a final assessable package. A combination of options might be selected but at least three should be considered.
This is still in moderate draft phase.
Many developers create new components every day all over the world. The idea is to develop a library for rendering lists of items in the administration panel (like standard lists of users/articles/categories/etc). It must handle all routine work of creating such lists for components.
It should work like a common form creator class. You set list of fields with their types (columns) and list of values (rows) or an SQL-query to fetch them.
The main features of the library should be:
Add a new feature that could expand on the basic web links feature to allow users to submit links and then rate them. It could emulate some of the main features of digg.
Currently it is very difficult to extend TinyMCE and other editors by using JavaScript plugins that are available for them. Idea is to make this process easier by allowing Joomla plugins to extend editors. We already have something similar on WordPress backend, which allows us to easily extend the TinyMCE editor using WordPress plugins.

Monday mornings are the traditional time of week to rue all of the misguided, often alcohol-imbued antics in which we partook over the past few nights. And, if said antics just so happened to have caught a few innocent victims in their hellfire, it is also the time for heartfelt apologies. Reese Witherspoon joined the ranks of the regretfully hung-over community on Monday, following the spat she had with an Atlanta police officer who arrested her husband and manager Jim Toth for driving under the influence.
On Friday night, Toth was pulled over for reckless driving and was ordered to perform a sobriety test. Witherspoon, a passenger in the automobile, got out of the car and began antagonizing the arresting police officer with comments like, "Do you know my name? ... You're about to find out who I am ... You are going to be on national news."
But in the cold light of day, Witherspoon has seen the error in her ways. The Mud star has released an apology for her aforementioned conduct, chalking her flinch-inducing comments up to that all-too-familiar liquid demon:
"Out of respect for the ongoing legal situation, I cannot comment on everything that is being reported right now. But I do want to say, I clearly had one drink too many and I am deeply embarrassed about the things I said. It was definitely a scary situation and I was frightened for my husband, but that is no excuse. I was disrespectful to the officer who was just doing his job. The words I used that night definitely do not reflect who I am. I have nothing but respect for the police and I'm very sorry for my behavior."

Police in southern California have arrested the husband of a slain Iraqi woman -- whose death authorities first thought could have been a hate crime -- on suspicion of her murder.
Shaima Alawadi, 32, died from her injuries in March after she was brutally beaten at her home.
A note beside the body told the family to go back to Iraq and called them "terrorists," her daughter said. At the time, authorities did not rule out the possibility her death could have been a hate crime, though they said then they were examining other possibilities as well.
"After months of hard work by El Cajon Police Department detectives, we determined that this homicide was the result of domestic violence and not the result of a hate crime," said city Police Chief Jim Redman.
Alawadi's husband, Kassim Al-Himidi, was arrested Thursday and booked at the San Diego Central Jail on suspicion of murder, he said.
According to authorities, Al-Himidi, 48, is being held without bail and is scheduled to appear in court Tuesday for an arraignment. It was not immediately clear whether he had retained an attorney.
His wife's death drew international attention.
Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki provided a plane that flew Alawadi's body back to Iraq, where the mother of five was buried. Dozens of people attended the funeral, including her husband.
Alawadi and Al-Himidi moved to the San Diego County area in 1995 and then briefly lived in Dearborn, Michigan, before moving back to California.
El Cajon, where the family lived, and Dearborn have sizable Iraqi communities -- among the nation's largest.
U.S. State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland called the attack on Alawadi an "absolutely brutal beating." She said in March that "authorities are continuing to search for motives behind this attack, but the United States has no tolerance for wanton acts of violence like this."

Daigo Kobayashi is a cellist whose dream is shattered when his Tokyo orchestra suddenly closes down. Left with no choice but to sell his prized cello, Daigo returns with his wife Mika to his late mother's house, deep in the Japanese countryside. In need of money, Daigo responds to an ad in the paper for a job in 'Departures', mistakenly thinking that it might be somehow related to travel. But to his complete surprise Daigo finds he has applied for a position as an 'encoffineer' – a man who performs the delicate and traditional Japanese ritual of preparing the bodies of the recently deceased for their departure to the next life – and without having time to think about it, he accepts the job…

The openSUSE community is celebrating the end of January by releasing openSUSE 11.4 Milestone 6. This new development snapshot brings several prominent changes, including the final removal of HAL (the Hardware Abstraction Layer), the migration to systemd from SysVInit has been pushed back to the next openSUSE release, and it now incorporates support for Novell's WebYaST...

excuse me, but what about plymouth?
Actualy openSUSE 11.4 already ships with firefox 4 beta, and it has done so for at least 2 months now.
The only one still needing HAL was KDE/Solid.

Elvis Presley Remembered
Friday, August 16, 2013
Today (August 16th) marks the 36th anniversary of the death of Elvis Presley. Elvis died of a heart attack on August 16th, 1977 at his Graceland mansion in Memphis, Tennessee. He was 42-years-old. Last night hundreds of fans gathered at Graceland to begin the annual candlelight vigil for the "King Of Rock N' Roll" who would be 78 years old.
In commemoration of the anniversary, the new triple-disc Elvis At Stax collection featuring tracks cut during his 1973 sessions at the legendary Memphis studio, has been released. Also, all of "The King's" 1950's albums have been digitally remastered for iTunes as The Complete 50's Albums Collection and features all nine of the decade's releases: Elvis Presley (1956), Elvis (1956), Loving You (soundtrack, 1957), Elvis' Christmas Album, (1957), Elvis' Golden Records (1958), King Creole (soundtrack, 1958), For LP Fans Only (1959). A Date With Elvis (1959), and 50,000,000 Elvis Fans Can't Be Wrong: Elvis' Gold Records, Volume 2 (1959).
We asked Elvis' original drummer DJ Fontana, who ultimately decided on the rhythm of Elvis' classic '50s singles: "Well, sometimes I would -- sometimes Elvis would count it off the way he felt it. So it was a mixture of different guys and sometimes (guitarist) Scotty (Moore) would do it, just according to what kind of mood we was (laughs) all in, y'know? But it seemed like it all, it all turned out good for some reason. Who knows? Y'know what, those things happen."
During a rare 1970 press conference, Elvis shed some light on his earliest musical influences: "I liked all kinds of music when I was a child; of course the Grand Ole Opry was the first thing I heard, probably. But I liked the blues and I like gospel music -- gospel quartets and all that."
Elvis Presley was signed to Sun Records in 1954 and recorded pivotal singles for the label, including "That's All Right," "Good Rockin' Tonight," and "Mystery Train." His Sun contract was sold to RCA Records in 1955 for $35,000. Although Elvis never performed professionally anywhere but in the United States, he went on to become the most successful recording artist of all time, selling over one billion albums globally.
He scored 18 Number One Hits, including "Heartbreak Hotel," "Don't Be Cruel," "Love Me Tender," "It's Now Or Never," "Are You Lonesome Tonight," and his final Number One "Suspicious Minds" in 1969. Despite all his success in rock n' roll, all three of his Grammys were awarded for his gospel recordings.
In 2008, Elvis fans were up in arms over a change in Billboard policy which demoted "The King's" ranking on the Billboard charts from being Number Three in the list of top acts of the rock era with 17 Number One hits, down to Number 14 -- with only seven chart toppers. In the trade's recent series of charts commemorating the past 50 years of Billboard's weekly Hot 100 singles chart, the rock era has been pushed forward to start with the Hot 100's first appearance on August 4th, 1958 -- which excludes Elvis' 10 Number One hits which predated the Hot 100's launch.
Elvis starred in 31 movies between 1956 and 1973. Most of them were musical comedies like Blue Hawaii (1961), Viva Las Vegas (1964) with Ann Margaret, and Clambake (1967), yet several of his films, such as King Creole (1958) with Walter Matthau, Flaming Star (1960), Charro (1969), and Change of Habit (1969) with Mary Tyler Moore, were dramatic pieces that proved him to be a serious actor with true talent.
Elvis also released two concert films. That's The Way It Is chronicled the rehearsals and opening week of his July 1970 Las Vegas stint, while 1972's Elvis On Tour featured footage from his U.S. Tour.
He also starred in several incredibly successful TV specials including 1968's Singer Presents Elvis -- more commonly known as "The '68 Comeback Special" -- which spurred a triumphant resurgence in his career, Elvis: Aloha, From Hawaii which featured him live in concert and was broadcast worldwide in 1973, and the posthumously-aired 1977 Elvis In Concert special.

When I was a kid – and who am I kidding; when I was an adult too – I made fun of the science in movies. "That's so fakey!" I would cry out loud when a spaceship roared past, or a slimy alien stalked our heroes.
Eventually, my verbal exclamations evolved into written ones. Not long after creating my first website (back in the Dark Internet Ages of 1997) I decided it would be fun to critique the science of movies, and I dove in with both glee and fervor. No movie was safe, from Armageddon to Austin Powers.
I was right; it was fun. It was surprisingly easy to deconstruct Hollywood accuracy, or lack thereof. Any mistake was fair game; a flubbed line with bad math was just as likely for me to mock as a plot device upon which the entire movie rested. Blowing up a giant asteroid? Pshaw. Saying "million" instead of "billion"? Please. Shadows moving the wrong way at sunset? Let me sharpen my poison keyboard.
Movie after movie came and went, and I watched each in the darkened theater, off to the side, hunched over my notepad with my pen clicked and ready, and – literally – a flexible red-filtered flashlight wrapped around my neck like a scarf to illuminate my writing in case the scene I was destroying was too dark for me to see my own words.
Then, one day, I had an epiphany. Well, actually, the epiphany was forced on me. I was at a professional astronomy meeting, and in the exhibit hall I started chatting with a gentleman who worked for a telescope manufacturer. Our conversation eventually turned to the science in movies. "Did you watch the made-for-TV movie Asteroid?" he asked me. I told him I did, and that the science in it was awful. For the next few minutes I regaled him with examples to bolster my opinion.
He bore all this in silence, and when I was done, he asked if I remembered the telescope they used in the observatory scenes of the movie. Sure, I replied. "What did you think of it?" he asked. I told him I thought it looked pretty good given that it was clearly a set, and that it was a fairly accurate depiction of what a 'scope in an observatory looked like. Really, it was one of the few accurate things in the whole flick.
"I helped build it," he told me. "The studio called me and asked me to work with them on that part of the set. After we put it together, they said they wanted more equipment on the telescope to make it look more like a complicated piece of scientific equipment. So I added a bunch of electronic boxes and other things that had no real purpose at all."
He looked at me pointedly, and continued. "If you were fooled by that, and even thought it looked good, then why do you care if there are other little mistakes in a movie?"
I don't know what my exact reaction to this was, but I can imagine I had a shocked look on my face when I realized he was right. It was a sea change in my attitude toward movies, and – like a bad movie script – it happened all at once from that one comment.
I realized that I had been enjoying watching movies for the purpose of reviewing them, not for the actual purpose of enjoying them. After that, I saw things differently. I accepted that while the science is important in sci-fi, the story must come first. Don't get me wrong: I'd prefer the science be accurate. In fact, I strongly believe that a writer who knows the science (or has access to it through a science consultant) will find plot developments he or she may not have thought of otherwise.
Science can and should lead the story where it needs to go. But in the end, the telling of the story must win out.
After all, the introduction of bad science after good led to my own character development. What might good science after bad do for yours?
Phil Plait is a scientist and science writer, and, clearly, a devoted sci-fi geek. He writes the Bad Astronomy blog for Discover Magazineand only occasionally pens movie reviews these days … but he keeps the old ones up as an object lesson to himself to lighten up.

Thread: Hook me in 25 words or less
September 5th, 2007, 12:20 AM #1
Hook me in 25 words or less
I'm stealing, I mean borrowing this idea from at least two other forums.
Though we all know that the hook is not the story, there is still a sense in which the first few words of a story are kind of important. (I generally give it a chapter or two before I consider giving up.) So this is practice. Give it your best shot. Write, in 25 words or less the first sentence or so of a story, be it a story you've already done, or one you might right some day.
Also, feel free to rate the "hooks" before yours. Don't be unkind.
And, to be fair, I should go first.

Immersive learning—the hallmark of a Ball State education—pulls together interdisciplinary student teams guided by expert faculty to create unique, high-impact learning experiences that result in real-world solutions.
Distinctive characteristics synthesize disciplinary knowledge with application. Students and faculty turn knowledge into judgment and judgment into action through projects and programs that benefit business, community, and government partners across the state and around the world.
Between 2007 and 2012, about 16,400 students have completed upwards of 1,000 immersive learning experiences throughout Indiana and as far away as Hong Kong, Venice, and Malawi. Featured projects include transforming hospital gowns into cozy, dignified apparel for patients with cancer; converting elaborate statistics into dynamic informational graphics about water scarcity; and bringing history to life through educational computer programs for elementary schools.
"Getting the chance to apply my skills to something that is relevant and affecting hundreds, thousands, even millions of lives is so rewarding," says Malik Cato, '12, who collaborated with global news organization Circle of Blue to create interactive graphics about the surging global water crisis. "I see the weight put on journalists' shoulders to convey the facts and others' ideas, so I take what I do a lot more seriously."
Several immersive learning projects have developed into ongoing programs. Schools Within the Context of Community is an immersive, 18-credit semester that places students in high-need elementary schools as they examine the context in which children learn and grow, a critical component to effective teaching. Students work with community partners to identify, develop, and implement strategies to support children and families through education and service.
Hear from our students about how immersive learning has enabled them to make a lasting impact, gain professional experience, and establish professional connections.
Whether you are a student, faculty member, or community partner, we have the resources to help you prepare for and engage in an immersive learning project that blends your interests and educational focus with societal needs. Building Better Communities (BBC) and the Virginia B. Ball Center for Creative Inquiry work to connect faculty and students with community partners eager to participate in immersive learning opportunities. Academic departments also generate projects, so students can contact their academic advisor or department to learn more about upcoming projects.
Immersive learning is more than just school-sponsored service through internships and co-ops. Distinctive characteristics—including student-driven projects, lasting outcomes, and community partnerships—set immersive learning apart from other experiential learning opportunities.
Students gain professional experience and intangible skills such as critical thinking and working well in teams, which top executives value in employees, according to a national survey by the Association of American Colleges and Universities.
Faculty members are able to guide personally and professionally enriching projects, which often result in publishing opportunities that advance tenure and promotion. Business and community partners benefit from faculty-led teams of students eager to delve into on-site, problem-based projects that make a lasting impact.
