New Thought - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The New Thought Movement or New Thought is a spiritual movement which developed in the United States during the late 19th century and emphasizes metaphysical beliefs. It consists of a loosely allied group of religious denominations, secular membership organizations, authors, philosophers, and individuals who share a set of metaphysical beliefs concerning the effects of positive thinking, the law of attraction, healing, life force, creative visualization and personal power.[1] It promotes the ideas that "Infinite Intelligence" or "God" is ubiquitous, spirit is the totality of real things, true human selfhood is divine, divine thought is a force for good, all sickness originates in the mind, and 'right thinking' has a healing effect.

WordPress › Link Shortcut « WordPress Plugins

Author: husani

Ever want your own shortcuts without mucking about with permalink structures? The Link Shortcut plugin allows you to create short (random numbers and letters, or short words) URLs under your blog's domain that redirect (301 or 302, your choice) a user to other pages, either in your site or on another site.

In other words, instead of sending this url to the author's plugin page: http://www.husani.com/ventures/wordpress-plugins/linkshortcut/

This shortcut could be created simply by installing this plugin and adding a link, via the same traditional WordPress UI we all know and love: http://www.husani.com/link123

You can also specify a specific "subdirectory" to be present in all Link Shortcut URLs: yourblog/go/STRING, for example.

YOU MUST USE NON-UGLY PERMALINKS FOR THIS PLUGIN TO WORK. Your permalink structure cannot be yourblog.com?p=84, it must be date-based, name-based, etc.

IMPORTANT: Link Shortcut creates a table inside your database. Upon deactivation, the plugin creates a backup table and copies records to it before removing the main table. If you decide to activate the plugin again -- or have installed an upgrade -- it automatically copies your backed up links to the newly created table. You can also delete the backup table if you remove Link Shortcut permanently.

Changelog:

  • 1.4:
    • Added configurable Redirect-Type (301, 302)
  • 1.3:
    • Added ability to set default length
    • Added ability to set directory name inside URL (yourblog.com/go/993ldx)
    • Added data backup on plugin deactivation (read Installation for more details)
    • Using _SERVER instead of WP_Query to account for WP version differences
  • 1.2:
    • Fixed WP 2.7 vs 2.7.1 bug
  • 1.1:
    • Fixed directory name bug

Link Shortcut is released to the Wordpress community under the GPL. Please feel free to modify as you see fit, and if you find this plugin useful, donate to the author. All feedback is welcome at wordpressplugins@husani.com, and you can visit Husani's website at http://www.husani.com.

Beating Obesity - Magazine - The Atlantic

Michelle Obama went public on February 9 with her campaign against childhood obesity. Almost a year earlier, she had decided to make fighting obesity her principal cause: working largely in secret, over a period of about six months in 2009, the first lady’s staff and the White House Domestic Policy Council began to draft a truly comprehensive anti-obesity strategy.
