I have been using Contact Form 7 with my gmail account for about a year now with no problems. Now gmail is marking these emails as spam.

Why is it doing this just now?
Hey Brian,
I've been experiencing the same problem here, Gmail is not receiving any of my messages. I don't think it's a Contact Form 7 issue though, try to look into SPF..
Same issue here. Does anyone have any experience with this issue? I have heard about adding an SPF record but not exactly sure how to configure...
This can be fixed rather easily.
Under the "Mail" tab, change the email address in the "From" box to a recognized email (probably your own personal email would work best). And then make sure that you have the sender's email address somewhere in the message body.
Thank you for your help. I have tried what you have suggested but no luck. More specifically, I am getting a 553 error, administratively denied, from the relay server.
godaddy is telling me the name of the relay server needs to be in the code somewhere.
See the error I am getting here.
My first guess would be because Gmail considers that sending yourself an automated program from your own email address would be spam, so it would reject. I could be wrong but that's my guess.
I would create a new email account on your domain and use this solely for this purpose: firstname.lastname@example.com ... etc. And then use this email address in the "From" line. I've done this several times before. In fact, I set another one yesterday and it works great.
Also, you can go into "Settings" in your Gmail account and add a "Filter" that allows you to select an email address and point it to which folder you want it to come in to.

Nonprofit Mission Statements – Good and Bad Examples
Off the top of your head, what's your mission statement? Don't cheat. Don't look. …that's what we thought. Most of us probably don't have any idea. Sadly, for 99% of us, no one outside of our nonprofit knows what our mission statement is either, because it just isn't that memorable. But you can avoid that fate if you take some time to learn from your peers. Let's analyze, in-depth, some good and bad examples of nonprofit mission statements. But first, let's chat about why your mission statement is useful in the first place.
The Attributes of Good and Bad Mission Statements
Your mission statement is a way of summing up your nonprofit to the outside world.
In many ways, a mission statement is a kind of PR move: a way to position your organization as memorable and unique. What's the one thing you want your organization to be known for in the world? More importantly, what's the message that already resonates with your donors and true fans?
The 3 Pivotal Elements of a Great Mission Statement
1. A Cause or Who You Serve (What matters? Who is important?) 2. An Action (What are you doing?) 3. A Result (What change can you see?) These three elements unite the best mission statements, and typically, ONLY these elements. (Though often, one or more element is only implied.) Nonprofits like to make their mission statements complex, but the truth is complexity doesn't make something valuable. That's why these three elements are so useful: this is YOUR nonprofit, distilled to its essence. It's a little elevator pitch: it's not supposed to tell everything about your nonprofit. It's supposed to get people interested in hearing more.
The Good, Bad and the Ugly
Ok, this is what you're really here for. Let's look at mission statements from well-known organizations.
We're a nonprofit organization bringing clean, safe drinking water to people in developing countries.
Verdict: This happens to be a really great mission statement: it is simple, emotional and contains all three elements: There's a problem. There's hope. The nonprofit is the solution, but only if YOU, the potential donor—help us out.
Springboard for the Arts:
"Springboard for the Arts is an economic and community development organization for artists and by artists. Our work is about building stronger communities, neighborhoods, and economies, and we believe that artists are an important leverage point in that work. Springboard for the Arts' mission is to cultivate vibrant communities by connecting artists with the skills, information, and services they need to make a living and a life."
Verdict: Rework. This is a cause we can really get behind–using art to build vibrant communities. Awesome! But wouldn't the mission be clearer if it wasn't so long? A few of these sentences could be combined into a killer, inspiring mission statement–which could also be tweetable!
Just do it.
Verdict: Brilliant. Nike just did it. You're inspired to go buy some sneakers and use that gym membership now, aren't you? Same here.
The Women's Center
The mission of The Women's Center is to improve significantly the psychological, career, financial and legal well being of women, men, couples and families, regardless of their ability to pay.
Verdict: Rework. While this statement brims with goodwill, its language is so expansive it's difficult to tell what The Women's Center actually does on a daily basis, or whom they serve. Very little about this statement inspires action–because you aren't sure what action there is to take! They're doing something awesome, but I don't know what. Keep it simple folks!
5 Quick Tests For Your Mission Statement
- Say It Out Loud This alone tells you a lot about your statement. Is it easy to say? Does it roll off the tongue? Or are you bored before you finish saying it?
- Memory Tell a friend or employee your statement or have them read it out loud. Talk about something unrelated for a minute. Then ask them to tell you the statement again. If they can't get it close, you have more work to do.
- Crowdsource Find multiple people who don't know your cause and have them evaluate your statement. Do they get it? Do several people (whose opinions you respect) have similar suggestions for changes?
- When Can You Shut Your Doors? Look at your mission statement. Based on this statement, when will your nonprofit declare "mission accomplished?" Is there a clear end point where you'll be able to happily disband your nonprofit and have an epic party, because you've succeeded? If you don't have an end goal, your mission might be too vague.
- "You too?" If someone could read your mission statement and say, "You too?" your mission statement is too broad. Refine it. Your organization does (or should) have something no other organization offers. What is it?
The Most Important Thing to Remember
The most important thing to remember… is that your mission statement isn't enough. It's easy to set sexy goals for your organization, create a nonprofit strategy and then never stop planning. At the end of the day, what matters most is taking action. You have a mission. Now go accomplish it. If you need more help, use our guide to writing a mission statement in one hour.

I think I failed, to long and jargony…..
Thanks for sharing and being brutally honest with yourself. It takes guts to say "the way we're talking about our mission isn't getting people excited!" rather than "I guess this is fine."
How can you take the jargon down a notch or two? Who are you really serving, simply? What are you doing? How does the world change?
Note: we usually start out with way too many words, so I'd actually encourage that. Put it all out on the page. Then cut back one word at a time to get to the core message. Thanks for sharing.
"Children's Home: Giving children a childhood and future by protecting them, teaching them and healing them, and by building strong communities and loving families."
I think it's a bit vague and definitely too long, but I kind of inherited it from my predecessors. The abbreviated version used more commonly in letters and newsletters is "Giving children a childhood and future," which is concise and easy to remember but doesn't really cover the "how."
I think your self-assessment is on the money. "Giving children a childhood and future" is nice and succinct but more details would give it urgency.
"Protecting, educating and sheltering the families of the Y community to give our children a childhood and a future."
"Giving our children a childhood and a future by sheltering, educating and protecting the families of Y."
I'm drawing a blank, but maybe this will help you get started. I'm starting to think "giving our children a childhood and future" is good enough for simplifying a multifacted mission, especially if you add a qualifier (e.g., "Giving our disadvantaged children a childhood and a future"). What do you think?
Love, love, love this, and will spread the word. Thanks for putting it out there so clearly and succinctly!
Thanks Nancy! Rally the troops!
Thanks for this to the point article about mission statements. The examples are excellent.
Thanks, Marion! They were handpicked with love.
Your feedback is greatly appreciated:
We are a non profit organization that enables youth ages 12 – 17 years with the necessary skills to be positive and productive members of the community. We provide a holistic and dynamic approach in working with youth that will enhance their capacity to develop and strengthen positive behaviors and to make healthier life choices.
I feel like this could be little fresher and more personal. Here are my tips:
– "Youth ages 12-17" is pretty specific for a mission statement. Remember, this isn't what you're telling someone who's formally applying to one of your programs: a mission statement exists simply to get people interested and intrigued to know more. "Youth" or "teens" or "young people" would probably be fine here.
– Holistic and dynamic are buzz words that don't add any emotional punch. Ax 'em!
– How's something like this: "We help teenagers develop the skills necessary to live healthier, wholer lives." Consider that a starting place if you want to get more specific. Just know you don't need to say everything, just make that first impact! Thanks for sharing.
I appreciate the feedback Marc, we'll give it another try.
Of course! I'm sure you guys are doing awesome things – excited to see you tell your story just as awesomely.
Caregivers Rock
Cindy – a fine sentiment! Now you just need a mission statement (with the 3 elements we talk through above) to accompany it.
Giving younger generations the knowledge, compassion, and ability to create a new era without stigma for those with mental illness.
Does "for those with mental illness" need to be in there?
IMO, yes. Without the words "mental illness," I'd be like, huh? What's your cause? Prisoners reintegrating into society? Acceptance of people of different races or sexual orientations? General niceness?

I work with a farm that teaches adults with autism to grow and care for produce as well as other aspects of farming. The farm also emphasizes socialization, teamwork, and a "breather" for caretakers. Any ideas/input would be great. I think it's really missing the punch.
I actually think it's quite good, Stephanie. The only aspect it's missing from your description is the socialization/teamwork side and I don't how that could be added. "Cooperative farming" has a different meaning, "team farming" sounds funny. "farming in groups?"
How about, "We help adults with autism to grow together while they grow fresh food"?
It gives the hopeful word "grow" two different meanings & inserts a sense of togetherness, plus the crunch of fresh food (appealing to the local food movement, health enthusiasts, etc.)

We are a nonprofit organization dedicated to keeping young girls off of the streets by providing a dance, modeling, singing and acting after school program.

Agree with most of the points here except Just DO It isn't a mission statement, value proposition or message. It's a slogan. Which is totally different. Nike's actual mission statement is – Nike's mission statement is "To bring inspiration and innovation to every athlete* in the world."
The legendary University of Oregon track and field coach and Nike co-founder Bill Bowerman said, "If you have a body, you are an athlete."
You bring up an excellent point. I love Nike's mission and have used it as an example of a brilliant and inspiring mission.
Agreed. Clients are always asking the difference between, slogan, message, Brand positioning statement, etc. So right now it is just particularly relevant for me.
It's so awesome to see you helping each other out on these posts.

Using the word purpose goes without saying. Take the word purpose out, and combine the first two sentences together. Also, in the third sentence, using the word thing is not good. Name the things instead of writing the word "things".

Building Our Lives Together (BOLT)- Our mission is to prepare young people by instilling in them the knowledge of simple hand tools.
"Friend" I was interested but one question went unanswered. I am not sure what teaching simple hand tools prepares young people to do. "BOLT instills young people with the knowledge of simple hand tools to…" (Increase independence by stretching their income? Save the environment by reusing rather than replacing?)
I'm interested in also knowing the audience a little more intimately. Young people is very broad. Toddlers? PreK? Young people with disabilities? Sounds like a great project!
Thanks Randy
Denise does my reply answer your questions?
Denise and Randy our objective is to teach young people mainly between the ages of 8 & 16 the proper usage of simple hand tools by involving them in projects such as repairing bicycles, building club houses and model robots, etc. It's becoming common these days that I encounter young men that are not able to repair something as simple as changing a flat tire. Do you all really think this is something seriously needed in our communities???

Nike's mission statement actually is: "To bring inspiration and innovation to every athlete* in the world." It's too vague, dont you think? Also 'Just do it' is!

Hello. We have been having some difficulty agreeing on our mission statement. Any help would be appreciated.
One version of our mission statement is: "Our Phoenix Rises.Org inspires low-income individuals struggling with mental illness, addiction and sexual violence through arts and arts education allowing for empowerment and the opportunity to contribute to society."
Another version is: "Our Phoenix Rises.Org inspires low-income individuals struggling with mental illness, addiction and sexual violence through the arts and arts education thereby enabling the healing process and encouraging personal growth."
Both of these just seem a bit off. Our organization will be providing small grants to low-income individuals struggling with mental illness, addiction, and/or sexual violence. The grants are to pay for tuition or fees for art courses. Some of the funds will be available for supplies and assistance with transportation to and from classes.
Basically, what we want to do is provide small grants to low-income individuals struggling with the issues stated above so that they may pursue an education in the arts and then feel capable of sharing their voices through art in their communities. It is our hope that by participating in art education they will achieve personal growth which may then translate into benefits for society.
Thank you for any input.
Thanks for sharing your situation. We developed a guide to help nonprofits write a mission statement. You can find it here: http://www.nonprofithub.org/1-hour-mission-statement/
The best advice I can give you is to share what you have with other people. Do a couple focus groups made up of different groups involved with your nonprofit and see what feedback you get. See if you get the desired response after they read the examples you have and if they offer you any new ideas. This will take some pressure off you and help get past the current block. Also, use the tests above. Make sure the language is compelling and that you're evoking emotion with one sentence. Good luck!
Thanks Lincoln. We have used your guide to arrive at what we have. And many different people have been helping out. This process has been on going for quite a while. I think we'll go with one of the ones we have and see what kind of reactions we get. Appreciate your input!

Hi, I'm trying to help my non-profit develop their organizational identity, including a mission statement. I'm not sure we're talking about the same thing when we say mission statement, though. This seems more like an elevator pitch, or even a slogan. For example, Nike's mission statement is actually: "To bring inspiration and innovation to every athlete* in the world.

Thoughts, ideas, suggestions?
Aiden's Light is a non-profit organization that helps the entire entity of underprivileged youth become successful members of society.
I prefer the original, actually. "Entire entity" is awkward and "successful members of society" doesn't sound like a nurturing, nonjudgmental goal. It's great to streamline as you've done, but words like "nurture" can be extremely important.
Maybe "Aiden's Light is a non-profit organization that nurtures the hearts, minds, and bodies of underprivileged minority youth." Do we need hearts, souls, AND spirits? To me, those three things overlap; they're also the sorts of words that could easily require too much explanation, if anyone poked at them. Does the appearance of "soul" imply "religion", and do you want it to?
This is for all youths everywhere? Could "youth" be better defined? I think hearts, souls and spirits could be combined to a single word.

About the Author
After National Service, as a Radio Mechanic in the Middle East, Frank Evans became a school teacher for six years before turning to industry and the then burgeoning discipline of automatic control. Ten years later after working in the areas of automatic control for aircraft and power stations, he was invited to join Queen Mary University of London where he spent the next 20 years teaching and conducting theoretical research in control theory. He was awarded his Ph.D. and eventually a D.Sc. Degree for his work and became a Reader Emeritus of the University of London. During this time, and after, he was invited to act as Visiting Professor at several Universities here and in Europe, an acted as consultant to certain industrial organisations. He was later invited to become Professor and Director of the Control Systems Centre at the University of the South Bank, London where he became its first Professor Emeritus on retirement . His life-long interest in painting then developed into a very modest success; as a 'Sunday painter' exhibiting in several commercial galleries, including two one-man shows, and this also encouraged him to think about the art-science dichotomy From a long association with the University of London Extra-Mural Department he developed courses concerned with popular scientific and cultural concepts from which this book eventually developed, and also an earlier intermediate web-site. From this varied life-time experience the contents of this book have come.

quick question...
I need to display a price table based on variations.
material-A quatity from 1-20 price is 20$ per piece quantity from 21+ price is 16$ per piece.
material-B quatity from 1-20 price is 30$ per piece quantity from 21+ price is 23$ per piece.
How to echo such thing?
I think I need to glue these together...
for material-A
$available_variations = $product->get_available_variations();
get_variation_attributes( ) // gets variation name e.g "material-A quatity from 1-20"
get_price_html( ) // gets price e.g. "price is 20$"
But do not know how.
Thanks for any help.

A Personal Journey to Ban All the Other Single-Use Plastic
By Cre8plenty On October 10, 2011 · Leave a Comment
As my city of Portland, Oregon begins its move towards plastic reduction by banning plastic grocery bags this week, I'm taking some time to assess where I am in my own household's plastic-free journey. It's been perfect timing for perusing our trash actually, since I've been collecting plastic "art supplies" for my Square Affair piece (how is yours coming along?).
As I get farther down the road with my appraisal, I'm a bit perplexed as to why the last painstakingly slow half mile of my recent climb up Mt. St. Helens keeps coming to mind. Is it because I could only go one step forward, before sliding a half step back? Coordinating the environmentally friendly home life of five people, one dog and two cats certainly has its challenges.
I like to believe that I'm a step ahead in the plastics reduction game. I'm pretty aware of the environmental issues and can make a good case for why plastic reduction is important. I try to be smart about the products I buy and how they are packaged. I'm dedicated to checking the bulk bins first before making any purchase of packaged products. I teach my children about how much more product they can buy when less packaging is involved, and we save and re-use plastic containers from the few prepared products we buy.
So now I'm wondering, since my city is now doing a great job at recycling or composting just about everything currently possible to compost or recycle, why at the end of every week is our trash compactor still annoyingly full of plastic? The produce bags that the grapes come in, paper dog food bags lined in plastic, those pesky plastic lids that jam the recycling equipment, the take-out containers that I succumb to because my favorite Ethiopian place can't afford paper containers, and my age-old arch-nemesis, the clamshell container, that way too many lower cost items still come packed in. I'm no genius, but I believe that these are yesterday's conveniences that we can no longer afford to have in our landfills….things that smarter minds than mine should be figuring out how to do differently, and at a cost we can all accept.
Are you doing better than we are at figuring all of this out at your house?
At Create Plenty, we dream about buying all kinds of products without packaging, far beyond the usual dry goods and few liquid bulk items we now see for sale at the co-op. And we consider how much money people can be saving by bring their own containers to fill up again and again. We imagine a world where people with limited means actually have choices about where they shop, the products they buy and how they are packaged. We imagine nearly every product and how it can potentially be sold in a very different way than we see now.
Someday, it will be so satisfying to pull out a faded plastic hummus container and tell my grandchildren that I've been re-using it since my kids were their age. In the meantime, I'm looking for more ways to use less plastic. Your creative ideas are always welcome and encouraged!

Description: Georgina Scott is a broody 33 year-old who sends her partner packing when it becomes obvious that he doesn't share her desire for a bundle of joy. Zak was going away on a documentary shoot anyway and he hopes that she'll cool off in his absence. But Georgina discovers that early menopause runs in her family and heads for a specialist with her reluctant best friend Clem in tow. Learning that her baby making days are numbered and her next cycle will be her last, Georgina enlists the help of Clem and their camp pal, Justin, to make the most of it. A battle plan is drawn up but their escapades become increasingly frantic and elaborate as Georgina explores internet sperm donors, night clubbers, builders and funeral-goers in her desperate and hilarious attempts to beat the biological clock.

Of course there are better choices out there. But for the cost and the look, it is definitely a good buy. Easy install if you have a little handiness. Only problem is, if you don't have a truck that is prewired for turn signals, heat, and puddle lamps...then you have to do without that unless you can rewire your truck for it. I will be doing that shortly.

Researchers Now Have a Myriad of...
Keep the Opportunities, Lose the Opportunists
Researchers at the Florida campus of The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI) report that they discovered a number of important features that explain what turns on a protein—AMPK—that is considered to be a master regulator of how the human body uses and stores energy. They believe that the new discoveries could help in the design and development of new therapeutics to treat metabolic disease such as diabetes and obesity, and maybe some forms of cancers.
The study ("Activation of AMP-Activated Protein Kinase Revealed by Hydrogen/Deuterium Exchange Mass Spectrometry"), led by Patrick R. Griffin, Ph.D., chair of the TSRI department of molecular therapeutics, is published online in Structure.
ATP stores what cells use for fuel. The balance between stored energy and energy consumption is in constant flux, so the ability to sense changes in those energy supplies is essential for survival, according to the scientists. When energy reserves run low, AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), which monitors cellular energy levels, stimulates the generation of ATP and increases those energy stores.
As a result, AMPK has become an attractive target for the treatment of metabolic diseases like diabetes and obesity. But the development of molecular activators of kinase has lagged behind inhibitors because while inhibition is straight forward, less is understood about the mechanism of hyperactivation of kinases.
"Other research has revealed compounds that activate AMPK," said Dr. Griffin. "However, until our study no one has been able to confirm exactly where those compounds bind, nor how binding of these molecules leads to an increase in the activity of the kinase."
In the new research, Dr. Griffin and his colleagues not only identified the subunit where binding took place, but were able to show that binding by a known AMPK activator fully activates the protein—specifically through biochemical communication with the other subunits, a process that allows AMPK to respond quickly to changes in the cellular energy levels.
"Results from [our] analysis clearly show that binding of AMP leads to conformational changes primarily in the gamma subunit of AMPK and subtle changes in the alpha and beta subunits," wrote the investigators. "In contrast, A769662 [a synthetic small molecule regulator] causes profound conformational changes in the glycogen binding module of the beta subunit and in the kinase domain of the alpha subunit, suggesting that the molecular binding site of the latter resides between the alpha and beta subunits."
Based on this work Dr. Griffin explained that other researchers can now model AMPK activators to see is they might be developed as potential drugs.
