What's New?

In an attempt at providing the utmost clarity to site visitors, the Webmaster has made this page available. Admittedly he's too lazy to update it frequently, but it's the thought that counts, right?

Notes from the Desk of the Webmaster

Necessary Updates to the Counseling and Prevention Resources Page

Due to recent complaints about delayed assistance and false information from service providers, as well as the discover of a fraudulent organization within the list, Webmaster Tsumango has decided to institute new rules for provider additions to the page.

Effective immediately, all new additions will be more intensely vetted by the Webmaster. Requests for addition from organization representatives are still permitted, but new rules include:

Providers must have an established physical presence through a permanent telephone number. If services cover multiple jurisdictions with different numbers, the main number for the national switchboard is preferred.
Providers must be able to assist any callers in the United States, or have the ability to re-direct them to the proper service in their jurisdiction.
Providers must be able to assist callers with trained in-house staff counseling, or be able to re-direct them to a more specialized service.

Due to the effort required in cleaning the page of inactive or improper listings, there is a temporary moratorium on new additions. You are welcome to send a request for addition, but there will be a delay in processing it.

Any providers who do not meet these criteria will have their submissions denied. All services currently on the page that do not meet these criteria will be stricken from the page without warning.

Listed organizations and requested additions discovered to be operating fraudulently will be reported to local law enforcement and the Federal Trade Commission, with their phone number being reported to the Federal Communications Commission.

Noteworthy Updates
Calendars Completed
Reviews Section Partial-Reopen

Monday, January 13th, 2020

First off, I'd like to express my joy in Tsumango's Tea Time celebrating its 8th anniversary. This website has never been an Alexa ranked website of any kind, but is definitely a cozy home to my interests. Thank you to everyone who has visited and enjoyed my website.

The Privacy Policy and Terms of Service have been updated to reflect the new requirements of the California Consumer Privacy Act (California Civil Code section 1798.100). This is not a sweeping update, but a specialized one reflecting only California residents.

The Reviews section is starting to be returned to working order. The section is far from a full relaunch, but it is progress nonetheless.

Currently, the Links section is the last page still down since the Summer 2017 update. These pages are receiving massive face-lifts, plus new subsections, pages, and reviews. I hope to complete them in the near future.

A big part of the Calendars section is completed now with the base wrap-up of the Historical Calendar and Observances Calendar subsections. I also have other subsections in the works, but they are far from done.

Previous Updates:

I'm still continuing my efforts to perform lots of extensive updates behind the scenes, though some stuff is on hiatus due to an ongoing move currently. I've got several different plans in the works, but many of them are far behind where I'd like to be.

Currently, there are only two sections that are still down since the Summer 2017 update. These are the Reviews section and the Links section. These sections are receiving massive face-lifts, plus new subsections, pages, and reviews. I hope to complete them in the near future. Another area still receiving a lot of work is the Calendar section. One of the first undertakings is the Historical Calendar subsection, which is continuing to be built off the On This Day events used in my Twitter posts. I also have other subsections in the works, but they are far from done.

A recent page restructuring has occurred in the Mango's Office section. This includes the move of the Mango's Snack Reviews subsection to the barely-relaunched Reviews section..

I've continued my efforts to perform lots of extensive updates behind the scenes. I've got several different plans in the works, but many of them are far behind where I'd like to be because I procrastinate a bit too much.

Additional new content includes extra pages added to the Mango's Office section. This includes the Mango's Accounts page and a restructuring of Mango's Snack Reviews.

Website security and compliance has been a major project recently. Tsumango's Tea Time now has an SSL certificate for better security. This brings the website into full security compliance with modern Internet standards. In additon, the website has achieved near-full compliance with GDPR. Our policies were updated and a cookie notice pop-up was added for new users to comply with European Union guidelines.

While I haven't updated the dates on the home page in a while, I've been doing extensive work behind the scenes. Much of this work will hopefully be revealed sometime this year.

For starters, almost all sections are back up after the name/domain switch. The last hold-out is the Reviews section. This section is recieving a massive face-lift, plus new sections, pages, and reviews.

Another area recieving a lot of work is the Calendar section, one of the newest sections to this website. One of the first undertakings is the Historical Calendar subsection, which is being built off the On This Day events used in my Twitter posts.

A section still in need of major renovations is the Links section. I hope to get to it eventually.

It will be a while before everything is online, since I'm still working on the last sections of the switchover, but pages will be returned as soon as they are updated.

I also still hope to take on the challenge of converting all older links on the website to Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS). For the technically-challenged, that means changing things like http://www.google.com/ to https://www.google.com/. In light of recent hacking and data theft, I feel this is the least I can do for my visitors (even if it's not very much).

Welcome to Tsumango's Tea Time!

This is my first What's New? on the new domain. Yes, this site has been around for quite some time...

I've moved from r-hoz.weebly.com to tsumangokotobuki.com, as well as left my R-Hoz username that was in use from 2002 - 2012. As I'm using TsumangoKotobuki across all other accounts, I thought it was time to do the same here.

It will be a while before everything is online, since I'm still working on the switchover, but pages will be returned as soon as they are updated.
