Ash's Random Post Dater

Use this form to set ALL posts in the selected category to a random date between these two values.

This will update the post dates on ALL posts within the selected category/tag (or ALL posts in your wordpress blog if both are set to default). Please do not use if you do not want to reset ALL post dates. I do not recommend using this on a site with lots of live posts - especially if you use a permalink structure that includes the date in the url. I use it on new sites (add all content, then set all posts to random date in the past). Use at your own risk! You will lose the current post date time (it only changes the date posted - nothing else)

Only use one of the following two. Leave both at their defaults ("ALL CATEGORIES"/"ALL TAGS") to reorder ALL posts

Reorder post dates in this category:


(leave on "ALL CATEGORIES" if you don't want to reorder all within a certain category) 		OR

Reorder post dates with this tag slug (use the tag slug, not the tag):


(leave on "ALL TAGS" if you don't want to reorder all within a certain category)

Earliest Day - how many days back do you want the maximum one?

(put at 0 to put all posts in future)

Latest Day - Leave at 0 to make sure all posts are BACK dated.

(leave 0 to put all posts in past)

For example if you wanted your posts randomly set to a date in the next 30 days set the latest day as 30, the earliest day at 0

If you wanted your posts randomly set to a day in the previous 180 days then set the latest day as 0 and the earliest day as 180.

It randomly sets each post - the posts are not spaced out at exact intervals. It will readjust ALL your posts. Please make sure that you want ALL your posts to be randomised.

(Clicking this will randomly reorder all posts)

Simprints: Changing Children’s Lives with Technology

Globally, the births of more than 50 million children – representing 40 per cent of the total births worldwide – go unregistered each year. Without formal registration, children are unable to access vital services. They are also more vulnerable to exploitation, violence and abuse. The importance of legal identity has also been recognized in the Sustainable Development Goals.

Simprints, an innovative technology company with a vision to build a sustainable yet profitable business, has developed a biometric fingerprint scanner and software package to allow some of the most vulnerable people in the world to access basic services such as healthcare and financial services.

Registered as a nonprofit, Simprints has so far attracted more than £1 million in seed funding. This includes funding from the private sector as well as from a range of institutional funders and foundations, including UKAID and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.

The company’s technology has been tested with over 120,000 fingerprints in the developing world and is currently being rolled out across Bangladesh and Nepal reaching 52,000 mothers and children in 2016. The company has also been recognized as part of UNICEF and TechCrunch’s “Best Tech: Changing Children’s Lives for Good Award.”

Simprints’ low-cost, rugged and durable fingerprint scanner has been uniquely designed with the needs of the poorest and most vulnerable communities in mind. The device employs a curved sensor, which is more intuitive for individuals to make a ‘pinching’ gesture rather than to simply lay their finger flat on the surface of a reader. Design features such as this are imperative if the technology is to be taken up by a population that is not accustomed to using fingerprint scanners and touch screen phones.

Simprints has set itself the goal of producing their fingerprint scanner at scale for less than $50 per unit, making the technology affordable for developing country governments to adopt. Taken together, the opportunity of providing legal identity for underserved populations, the lack of a suitable fingerprint scanning technology, and the low cost of the product means that Simprints is set to benefit the lives of millions of people whilst maintaining a sustainable business model.

Simprints has been recognized by the Business Weekly as the “Startup of the Year.” The company is not alone either. Its small base in Cambridge, UK is rapidly transforming into a “Tech4Dev Hub” for social enterprises and startups with a purpose.
