5) Say Goodbye to Spam
Do you have problems with spam on your website (e.g., in the comments)? In addition to Akismet (the virtual standard), we’ve just started using CleanTalk which appears to be an effective anti-spam solution that can help manage and eliminate spam comments on various platforms like WordPress, Joomla, Drupal, and more. It does spam filtering, no CAPTCHA, real-time validation, and it has an easy set up! For more information go to www.cleantalk.org. What do you use? Please comment.
6) Harnessing People Power
Have you read Curtailing Corruption: People Power for Accountability and Justice by Shaazka Beverle? It explores how citizens can counter corruption and hold power holders accountable through nonviolent civic movements. It highlights various grassroots efforts worldwide, demonstrating the strategic value of people power in the anti-corruption struggle. Reading this book can inspire and equip individuals involved in the Great Commission to promote justice, empower communities and enhance advocacy. Check it out at this link https://www.nonviolent-conflict.org/curtailing-corruption-people-power-for-accountability-and-justice-2/. (Thank you, Kelly and Michelle!) read more…
7) You Can Submit an Item to Brigada – For Free!
It’s easy. Just click to https://brigada.org/submit-an-item. Be sure to read the submission guidelines first. It’s ok to pitch in a gift toward Brigada’s budget if you like (and it’s true that pitching in helps bump up your item in the calendar and the order of appearance), but you really don’t have to do so. The money helps meet the budget, but the goal is the Great Commission. read more…

10) Helps for Language Learning
What do you use to brush up on your second (third) languages? Chatterbug is an online language learning platform that offers interactive and engaging methods to learn languages like English, German, French, and Spanish (https://app.chatterbug.com/signup/). Have you used it? Alternatively, you could try https://www.lingq.com/. With LingQ, you choose a language, then pick out topics with which you’re interested. You can both *read* and also *listen* (in loop format, if you like) to sentences in the target language, breaking them down by phrase or by word. You can even import your own material and ask LingQ to help you study it. It’s actually kind of awesome. (Thanks Joe and Eric!) But — what tools or platforms do you use for language learning? Please comment! read more…
