Whether you're a complete beginner, business owner or marketing professional looking to upskill, this social media marketing course is perfect for you.
To the outside world, creating posts for social media may seem easy. Marketers and brands around the world know there's more to social media content creation and editing than meets the eye. From choosing the perfect image to represent your point of view, to writing Twitter updates with the perfect hashtag and tone of voice, here are some tools to help you along the way.
1 Hashtagify.me
Hashtagify.me is a free tool (with paid add-on features) that allows you to search for hashtags. Once you've searched for a hashtag, you can determine its popularity and how it's used. The tool is simple to use: in the upper right-hand corner, type in a hashtag you are curious about, and search to find out its performance and related hashtags. You'll also see the top influencers for that hashtag, as well as recent tweets using that hashtag. Paid users can sign up for alerts on particular hashtags, track influencers and usage patterns, and more.
2. SlideShare & SlideSnack
If your business utilizes LinkedIn to share updates, SlideShare is a must. Once a separate site, SlideShare is now owned by LinkedIn. This allows the eye-catching images and presentations added to SlideShare to be automatically synced to the platform. By integrating these two platforms, you can have the best of both worlds: informative text articles and updates from LinkedIn and the captivating images of SlideShare. Sharing presentations, eBooks, infographics and more is always a great idea, and the platform allows you to simply press a button to distribute them to Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn.
You can also embed your SlideShare presentation on your website using IFrame or WordPress shortcodes (depending on which platform you use).
Finally, you can take things to the next level with SlideSnack. This tool allows you to add your voice overlay to your content.
The tool also allows you to upload past presentations and add voice to them, then share them on YouTube or Facebook or embed them on websites such as Weebly, Blogger, WordPress, and more.
3. Grammarly
Grammarly is an all-in-one spellcheck and grammar tool that works all of the places Microsoft Word can't. It helps users write mistake-free copy on Gmail, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and almost anywhere else on the web. Grammarly scans your text for common and complex grammatical mistakes, including everything from subject-verb agreement to article use to modifier placement. It also goes beyond regular checking to provide users for explanations and help them improve their skills. The Grammarly plugin is free for individual users, with paid features also available.
4. Typeform
Asking questions is a great way to earn engagement on social media. But sometimes asking one question isn't enough to get the response you want from your audience. That's where Typeform comes in. Typeform is a user-friendly quiz builder that allows you to ask your audience questions in many different formats, including image-based, multiple choice, short answer, yes or no, and more.
Once you have your quiz in place, you can share it across multiple social media networks in the formats that work best for your audience. 100 responses per month are free, and Pro+ and Pro Plus versions with additional features are also available.
5. Anchor

6. Typorama

Typorama is an iPhone app thatmakes it easy to create amazing-looking graphics directly from your smartphone. You can create graphics of various sizes such as for Instagram story, Facebook cover photo, images with quotes, and more. ( For Android users, WordSwag is a great alternative.)

7. PowToon
Video is exploding on social media networks. The problem is, many companies rely on expensive external agencies to create these videos. The finished product can look too contrived, miss the message mark, and really drain the budget. Tools like PowToon mean you don't have to be a video master to create engaging videos. The PowToon platform allows users to choose from several templates and customize them according to their business. You can simply plug and play your content and share across your social media networks. Free and paid versions are available at up to $59 per month.
8. Animoto
Animoto is another great video platform that allows users who aren't experts to create captivating multimedia. Animoto allows you to turn existing video clips and images into video slideshows with little effort. It's one of the few video tools that also offers square videos for certain social media platforms and design tastes. Animoto starts at $16 per month, $42 per month or $64 per month, based on your business's needs. Annual subscriptions offer significant discounts.
How to Create Quick Videos with Animoto:
- Use one of the many storyboards provided by Animoto to speed up your video creation process. Each comes with a song, a style, and a particular structure.

How to Create Video Mock-ups with Placeit:
- Search for your desired environment. Tip: include your preferred device (e.g. iPhone or Mac) and background (e.g. office or cafe).
- Upload your image or enter a URL to grab a screenshot. Placeit will automatically place your image in your selected environment.
Once you have your product images, you have the tools you need to promote your products on social media via organic or paid posts.
10. Canva
A social media tools list wouldn't be complete without Canva. One of the most popular tools for creating social media graphics, Canva allows users to create high-quality images quickly using layouts, templates and design elements. The free version of the tool is extremely comprehensive, but those who want more can invest $12.95 per user per month or go with enterprise pricing if it's the best fit for their business.

Curry with a side of Charity
Here at Rasoi, we run our own charity called The Sikhi Sewa Mission UK. The charity has provided free medical care for 12 years supporting over 95,000 of the poorest people in Punjab and has now expanded the remit of their work to now include education and wedding provision as well as healthcare.
The Sikhi Sewa Mission UK now provides an education programme, which funds admission to schools, uniform and stationery for children across a number of cities in Punjab and also provides poor families with not only weddings but with a wedding dowry, containing furniture, beds and sewing machines to equip their new marital home with the basics that they could not otherwise afford.
So as Rasoi continues to provide delicious cuisine, the profits continue to support some of the world's most impoverished people.

1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 medium yellow onion, sliced
1/2 jalapeno pepper, sliced, seeds removed for less spiciness if you'd like
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon hot paprika
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1 15-ounce can crushed or diced tomatoes and their juices
2 tablespoons Red Duck Spicy Ketchup
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
2 eggs
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons fresh chopped parsley, for serving
Charred baguette or pita, for serving
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
In a small cast-iron skillet, heat up the oil over medium heat until shimmering, then add onions and jalapeno pepper. Lower heat to medium-low and cook until very soft, 12-15 minutes. Add garlic, paprika, and cumin, and cook for 30 seconds more, until fragrant. Add tomatoes and Red Duck Spicy Ketchup and continue cooking until slightly thickened, 10 minutes or so.
Stir in feta cheese, remove pan from heat, and carefully crack the eggs onto the top of the mixture. Transfer to oven and bake until eggs are just set, 7-10 minutes. Yolks should still be runny. Sprinkle with freshly ground black pepper (you may not need salt, depending on how salty your feta is) as well as fresh parsley, and serve immediately with bread or pita for dipping.
Serves 2. Adapted from the New York Times.

- Wedding: September 2015
I'm curious and the title pretty much sums it up. Here's a poll to make it easy!
I'm curious and the title pretty much sums it up. Here's a poll to make it easy!
I had 6 bridesmaids. The one girl that I knew for the least amount of time I was friends with for 6 years.
somanyletters: I have four bridesmaids. One I've known for 20+ years (MOH), then there is one I've known for about 6. The other two I met after I moved to a new city 4 years ago, and we became really close. I've been friends with them for 2-3 years 🙂
I had 6 bridesmaids. The one I knew for the least amount of time was 4 years (my FSIL). The others were friends of 12+ years, my sisters and my cousin.
I was in a wedding where I had only known the bride about a year when she asked me. I was kind of surprised, though it did make the wedding more fun for me since I wouldn't have known anyone else there if I wasn't a bridesmaid!
For my wedding, the bridesmaid I've known the least amount of time is my sister, who will be 15 at the time! My other two bridesmaids will be a friend I've known all her 31 years and another I've known for 20 years.
My Future In-Laws are the bridesmaids I've known for the least amount of time, 3 years. The rest I've been friends with since middle or high school, 7-10 years.
I had four bridesmaids. One was my husband's cousin, I had known her less than a year and I had only met/spoken to her once. The other was the best man's wife. I had spoken to her a lot during the time of my relationship with my husband but I had never met her until the day before the wedding.
I have 5 BMs. My Maid/Matron of Honor and 1 bridesmaid are my first cousins, I've known them my whole life. 1 Bridesmaid or Best Man is a friend I met through a mutual friend and we became close; 5 years. (I was her Bridesmaid or Best Man when I knew her for less than a year). My other 2 BMs I met through my Fiance, I've known them both for about a year. One I've become really close with and one I haven't hung out with as much, but she's been good friend with my Fiance for over 15 years.
It's a tricky situation the choosing of the BMs. My brother's girlfriend was so upset I didn't ask her that she now refuses to talk to me and just says 'I know where I stand with you'. Whatever that means. Caused a lot of family drama over it. It really hurt me at first, but if that's how she's acting obviously we were never really friends in the first place.
I have two that "asked" me to be bridesmaids (really told me they were, they are significant others of groomsmen and were upset they weren't bridesmaids, I've met both of these women maybe two times in my life). I didn't say yes, I told them I already have a large bridal party and the girls already have their dresses, etc., but they "insisted" so now I have two that I hardly know. I am not particularly happy about it (especially since I bought my girls' dresses, am paying for 3 nights at the (expensive) hotel, hair/makeup/gifts/etc.) but honestly if it avoids drama whatever works! At least they'll be in the same hotel rooms as their (relatively recent) boyfriends. Ugh.
Hyperventilate: Interesting. If you don't mind sharing, why did you include them as part of your briday party (as opposed to just having two bridesmaids)?
Three of my bridesmaids were DH's daughters and daughter in law, and I only knew them for about a year prior to our wedding.
I had 6 bridesmaids. My 2 sisters, 2 SILs (had known them for almost 7 years at the time of the wedding), my Maid/Matron of Honor was my best friend from HS (known her for 9 years), and my college roommate who I had known for over 5 years. I gained a 3rd SIL during our engagement kind of out of the blue (BIL got married after knowing her for 6 weeks), and did not include her as a bridesmaid.
MrsTywinLannister: ugh. i'm sorry to hear that. I set the expectation with Fiance that I am having zero obligatory bridal party members because that is unfair to us.
I mentioned to him that I would appreciate it if he asked my brothers to be his groomsmen, but would also understand if he would rather they not be in his wedding party.
somanyletters: I'll have 3 BMs. My Maid/Matron of Honor I've known for 5 years. One Bridesmaid or Best Man I've known for 4.5 years. One Bridesmaid or Best Man I've known for about 10 years. I would have asked her to be the Maid/Matron of Honor, but she's been having some life-shattering problems, and I didn't want to exacerbate any stress she's been having. I considered asking FI's sister to be a Bridesmaid or Best Man, but she'll have a young child there, and we're not close. I also was asked to consider having my sisters be BMs, who would be 15 and 13, but I didn't want that many BMs, nor are they anywhere mature enough to not fight the entire time or hide someplace for most of it. My mother still isn't that happy about that decision, but they'll have their own unique jobs.
I agree with PP that having obligatory bridal party people really isn't fair to the couple, and I would say it also isn't that fair to the obligatory bridal party people.
somanyletters: i had 4 BMs. My Maid/Matron of Honor was my sister. Then there were mt ywo girlfriends, one who I knew for over 10 years, the other about 7 years. Then there was my SIL who I knew for 10 years.
The topic 'What is the shortest time you've known someone before asking them to be a BM?' is closed to new replies.

Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) will partner with four clean energy small businesses to accelerate buildings and vehicle technologies as part of the Small Business Vouchers (SBV) pilot launched by DOE.
The SBV pilot is a collaborative national effort that will provide up to $20 million in vouchers to eligible small businesses across nine energy technology areas (advanced manufacturing, buildings, bioenergy, fuel cells, solar, fuel cells, geothermal, vehicles, water, and wind). The goal of the pilot is to provide access to world-class laboratory resources to help move innovative ideas and technologies in clean energy closer to scalable commercialization.
"The Department of Energy is firmly committed to maximizing the impact of the national lab system on the clean energy economy," said David Danielson, Assistant Secretary for Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy. "The Small Business Vouchers pilot allows innovative entrepreneurs greater access to the world-class resources and brilliant minds in our labs. These partnerships can help small businesses solve their most pressing technical challenges—and help bring clean energy technologies to commercialization much faster."

Could One Nation win Nanango again?
FORMER One Nation and Independent Nanango MP Dorothy Pratt has said no one should take the electorate for granted at the next election.
"History shows Sir Joh Bjelke-Petersen was the last true National representative of the area," Mrs Pratt said.
"Trevor Perrett then won the seat for the Citizens Electoral Council after Joh left, which showed people here weren't just going to tow party lines, they'd make up their own minds.
"Then I stood in 1998, I went for One Nation and that proved that people were still on the road to being independent thinkers, they wouldn't do what they were told to do. I was then re-elected as an independent four times, which showed people were happy to vote alternatively to the major parties."
Now with a state election looming, a recent ReachTEL poll showed current MP Deb Frecklington's support sat around 37.4%, a drop of 10% since the last election, while One Nation support sat at 28.3%.
Mrs Pratt said Mrs Frecklington had a challenge on her hands to hold the seat.
"This election to me is an open ball game, anyone can win this one," she said.
"If you want to look at Deb's support, if it has dropped as the polls say, then she could be well and truly in trouble."
Michael Evans served as the State Director of the National Party from 1970 to 1983, during the prime Joh Bjelke-Petersen years. He witnessed first hand the rise of One Nation in the South Burnett and Queensland in 1998, predicting Pauline Hanson's party would win between 10 and 12 seats in the Queensland Legislative Assembly. They won 11.
"I came up to Kingaroy for the One Nation campaign launch," he said.
"When I got to the town hall it was packed to the rafters. I looked around and a number of people were members of the National party, I thought God almighty."
Mr Evans said major political parties needed to work hard to bring back the trust of the voters who had deserted them for One Nation and other minor parties.
"You need to apply some real meaning to the slogans, to attract voters back," he said.
"You need detailed plans for projects."
Mr Evans said it would be a tragedy for the area to lose Mrs Frecklington as their local representative.
"Deb Frecklington is a very, very, good person," Mr Evans said.
"She is an excellent person to represent regional Queensland in cabinet.
"The truth is it will be a tough task for her and it will be a tragedy if she loses her seat."
Mr Evans said he predicted One Nation would win about 15 seats at the next State Election.
Despite Mrs Frecklington winning the seat for the LNP in 2012 and being the only LNP candidate to have a swing towards her in 2015, Queensland University of Technology justice school Associate Professor John Mickel, who also served as a Minister in the Beattie and Bligh governments, said the support for smaller parties and independents in the area had never gone away.
"There is no doubt that when things are tough in parts of regional and rural Queensland people feel dissatisfied with the major parity," Professor Mickel said.
"In Queensland in 2012 there was the major dissatisfaction with the Bligh Government leading to the decimation of the Labor party. Then there was the huge dissatisfaction with the LNP leading to an unheard of one term government with Campbell Newman.
"If people are disappointed in Regional Queensland with the government, they are also disappointed in the opposition. That's what you tend to get that when both sides have been in government a short amount of time and people feel economic circumstances haven't improved. People will then put their vote with someone who isn't the major parities."
One Nation candidate Douglas Grant said for the most part people are voting for Pauline Hanson, not for him.
"I'm here to support One Nation and Pauline Hanson, but I do have ideas," he said.
Mr Grant said issues such as power prices, car registration bills and political donations were driving people away from the major parties.
Professor Mickel said he believed Mrs Frecklington would be able to hold on to the seat.
Mrs Pratt said for Mrs Frecklington the stakes were high.
"I think she could be Premier one day if she holds the seat, but it's all in that big if," she said.
Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk is yet to call the state election, though it has to be held before May next year.

How to Flirt With A Guy Over Text and Build Attraction
If you know how to flirt with a guy over text you have a great advantage in the dating world. Your text appeal or lack of, can have an affect on if a relationship progresses or not. Texting or rather flirty texts if done right can build attraction for a guy.
Your texting skills with guys can make you stand out. Do you know how many women don't know how to text guys? Many think that to flirt with a guy over a text message is about sending sexy pictures. Nothing could be further from the truth.
To flirt with a guy over text, it's about being subtle, mysterious, a bit illusive, teasing him, being playful and building some anticipation. Flirting is about giving a man just enough to to get his imagination doing the attraction work for you!
When to Flirt With Text Messages
Timing is everything! The best time to flirt with a guy is when he is already texting you as in you are having a texting exchange already.
To just randomly send him a flirty text message screams notice me please! It's you putting in more effort than he is. Women do this usually when men aren't texting them much. They think oh, well I will just remind him that I am alive. Trust me, he knows you are alive.
Another risk of just shooting a flirty text out of the blue is you have no clue what he may be doing. Men compartmentalize. If he is at work or in a meeting he won't be able to just switch his focus to you.
A friend of mine made this mistake not too long ago. She sent a guy she was casually dating some sexy pics unsolicited by him by the way, just out of the blue. She hadn't heard from him in a couple days. Turns out he was at a funeral. Man oh man. They aren't dating anymore by the way. He never answered her, ever.
So if you are going to flirt with a guy with text messages, make sure you are already engaged in a conversation please.
How to Flirt and Text With a Guy
How to flirt with a guy over text is about a little teasing and playfulness. While women connect on an emotional level, men tend to be more visual. Think about the texts they send to you. Things like hey sexy for example.
As women, we might roll our eyes at a hey sexy, but guys are a different story. If he texts you hey sexy, answer him with "well hello handsome".
it's all about playful banter so use your imagination. I went on a few dates with a guy a bit younger than me. He called me Cougar in a text, I replied with :"Meow". The beauty of texting is you have time to craft your reply.
I have called another guy Rhett as in Rhett Butler in gone with the wind. We all know he was known for his masculine qualities and what guy doesn't want to be referred to as masculine.
If you can flirt and make him feel like a man at the same time, you got it going on. FYI, sexy pics may turn him on. Turned on doesn't build lasting attraction. Making him feel good and like a man does.
Flirty Text Messages to Send to Guys
I could list a ton of flirty messages to send here, but it's pointless really because each conversation or situation is different. I will share with you a very powerful tip.
Use his name. It makes it feel personal. "oh John, you didn't" has more of an impact that just "oh you didn't". Don't use it in every text, but do use it, especially when you are being flirty. Ever had a man want you to scream his name in bed? You get my point right?
In summary:
Less is more. Don't over do it. Leave him wanting more. Don't try to prolong a conversation. Be fun and flirty when he texts, but don't be overly available and start initiating flirty text messages to guys. He already knows you are alive.
The best place in the world to get great texting ideas and learn how to be the woman that is simply irresistible to men is in Katarina's group on Facebook.
If you are using texts to try to get a guys attention or trying to get him to like you more, you will want to get her book, He is really into you, he's just not ready. And you will become a part of her growing enlightened community with purchase in which you get relationship advice for all your relationship issues 24/7.
Want to learn more the ins and outs of inspiring the man you adore to commit to you THE MOST DEFINITE WAY?

The Right Time
an excerpt from The Book of Orgasms
Sometimes we are absolutely ready. Always at the wrong time, but sometimes it could be the right time. We look at each other, and we know. Time to take off our clothes. It is most inconvenient because precisely at that moment my grandmother arrives wearing a hat with ostrich feathers. And my Aunt Sheila who hates men, says all men will want me until I am fifty and molt. And my father who thinks pretty women are whores. And my mother who is eleven. They all arrive and tell me to cross my legs, keep my thighs pressed together. Sometimes Mr. Repolt arrives, too. He used to close his fingers around my naked knee like a cat's paw. They close in around us like a cat's paw, and there's nothing we can do about it but laugh nervously. Afterwards we reason, if we were to remove our clothes, we would feel the world press its ears and eyes to our skin, and we would go cold. Even on the hottest days. We would apologize for all of our wrinkles and the odd mole or birth mark. We would wish we hadn't been seen like that. We know this because we never take off our clothes. We don't want to take the chance. We have everything to lose.

Not to be confused with astrology, the pseudoscience.
Astronomy (from Greek: ) is a natural science that studies celestial objects and phenomena. It applies mathematics, physics, and chemistry in an effort to explain the origin of those objects and phenomena and their evolution. Objects of interest include planets, moons, stars, nebulae, galaxies, and comets; the phenomena also includes supernova explosions, gamma ray bursts, quasars, blazars, pulsars, and cosmic microwave background radiation. More generally, all phenomena that originate outside Earth's atmosphere are within the purview of astronomy. A related but distinct subject is physical cosmology, which is the study of the Universe as a whole.[1]
Astronomy is one of the oldest of the natural sciences. The early civilizations in recorded history, such as the Babylonians, Greeks, Indians, Egyptians, Nubians, Iranians, Chinese, Maya, and many ancient indigenous peoples of the Americas, performed methodical observations of the night sky. Historically, astronomy has included disciplines as diverse as astrometry, celestial navigation, observational astronomy, and the making of calendars, but professional astronomy is now often considered to be synonymous with astrophysics.[2]
Professional astronomy is split into observational and theoretical branches. Observational astronomy is focused on acquiring data from observations of astronomical objects, which is then analyzed using basic principles of physics. Theoretical astronomy is oriented toward the development of computer or analytical models to describe astronomical objects and phenomena. The two fields complement each other, with theoretical astronomy seeking to explain observational results and observations being used to confirm theoretical results.
Astronomy is one of the few sciences in which amateurs still play an active role, especially in the discovery and observation of transient events. Amateur astronomers have made and contributed to many important astronomical discoveries, such as finding new comets.
Astronomy (from the Greek from astron, "star" and - -nomia from nomos, "law" or "culture") means "law of the stars" (or "culture of the stars" depending on the translation). Astronomy should not be confused with astrology, the belief system which claims that human affairs are correlated with the positions of celestial objects.[5] Although the two fields share a common origin, they are now entirely distinct.[6]
Generally, both of the terms "astronomy" and "astrophysics" may be used to refer to the same subject.[7][8][9] Based on strict dictionary definitions, "astronomy" refers to "the study of objects and matter outside the Earth's atmosphere and of their physical and chemical properties,"[10] while "astrophysics" refers to the branch of astronomy dealing with "the behavior, physical properties, and dynamic processes of celestial objects and phenomena."[11] In some cases, as in the introduction of the introductory textbook The Physical Universe by Frank Shu, "astronomy" may be used to describe the qualitative study of the subject, whereas "astrophysics" is used to describe the physics-oriented version of the subject.[12] However, since most modern astronomical research deals with subjects related to physics, modern astronomy could actually be called astrophysics.[7] Some fields, such as astrometry, are purely astronomy rather than also astrophysics. Various departments in which scientists carry out research on this subject may use "astronomy" and "astrophysics", partly depending on whether the department is historically affiliated with a physics department,[8] and many professional astronomers have physics rather than astronomy degrees.[9] Some titles of the leading scientific journals in this field include The Astronomical Journal, The Astrophysical Journal, and Astronomy and Astrophysics.
In early historic times, astronomy only consisted of the observation and predictions of the motions of objects visible to the naked eye. In some locations, early cultures assembled massive artifacts that possibly had some astronomical purpose. In addition to their ceremonial uses, these observatories could be employed to determine the seasons, an important factor in knowing when to plant crops and in understanding the length of the year.[13]
Before tools such as the telescope were invented, early study of the stars was conducted using the naked eye. As civilizations developed, most notably in Mesopotamia, Greece, Persia, India, China, Egypt, and Central America, astronomical observatories were assembled and ideas on the nature of the Universe began to develop. Most early astronomy consisted of mapping the positions of the stars and planets, a science now referred to as astrometry. From these observations, early ideas about the motions of the planets were formed, and the nature of the Sun, Moon and the Earth in the Universe were explored philosophically. The Earth was believed to be the center of the Universe with the Sun, the Moon and the stars rotating around it. This is known as the geocentric model of the Universe, or the Ptolemaic system, named after Ptolemy.[14]
A particularly important early development was the beginning of mathematical and scientific astronomy, which began among the Babylonians, who laid the foundations for the later astronomical traditions that developed in many other civilizations.[15] The Babylonians discovered that lunar eclipses recurred in a repeating cycle known as a saros.[16]
Following the Babylonians, significant advances in astronomy were made in ancient Greece and the Hellenistic world. Greek astronomy is characterized from the start by seeking a rational, physical explanation for celestial phenomena.[17] In the 3rd century BC, Aristarchus of Samos estimated the size and distance of the Moon and Sun, and he proposed a model of the Solar System where the Earth and planets rotated around the Sun, now called the heliocentric model.[18] In the 2nd century BC, Hipparchus discovered precession, calculated the size and distance of the Moon and invented the earliest known astronomical devices such as the astrolabe.[19] Hipparchus also created a comprehensive catalog of 1020 stars, and most of the constellations of the northern hemisphere derive from Greek astronomy.[20] The Antikythera mechanism (c. 15080 BC) was an early analog computer designed to calculate the location of the Sun, Moon, and planets for a given date. Technological artifacts of similar complexity did not reappear until the 14th century, when mechanical astronomical clocks appeared in Europe.[21]
Medieval Europe housed a number of important astronomers. Richard of Wallingford (12921336) made major contributions to astronomy and horology, including the invention of the first astronomical clock, the Rectangulus which allowed for the measurement of angles between planets and other astornomical bodies, as well as an equatorium called the Albion which could be used for astronomical calculations such as lunar, solar and planetary longitudes and could predict eclipses. Nicole Oresme (13201382) and Jean Buridan (13001361) first discussed evidence for the rotation of the Earth, furthermore, Buridan also developed the theory of impetus (predecessor of the modern scientific theory of inertia) which was able to show planets were capable of motion without the intervention of angels.[22] Georg von Peuerbach (14231461) and Regiomontanus (14361476) helped make astronomical progress instrumental to Copernicus's development of the heliocentric model decades later.
Astronomy flourished in the Islamic world and other parts of the world. This led to the emergence of the first astronomical observatories in the Muslim world by the early 9th century.[23][24][25] In 964, the Andromeda Galaxy, the largest galaxy in the Local Group, was described by the Persian Muslim astronomer Abd al-Rahman al-Sufi in his Book of Fixed Stars.[26] The SN 1006 supernova, the brightest apparent magnitude stellar event in recorded history, was observed by the Egyptian Arabic astronomer Ali ibn Ridwan and Chinese astronomers in 1006. Some of the prominent Islamic (mostly Persian and Arab) astronomers who made significant contributions to the science include Al-Battani, Thebit, Abd al-Rahman al-Sufi, Albumasar, Biruni, Ab Ishq Ibrhm al-Zarql, Al-Birjandi, and the astronomers of the Maragheh and Samarkand observatories. Persian astrologer Albumasar's practical manuals for training astrologers profoundly influenced Muslim intellectual history and, through translations, that of western Europe and Byzantium.[27] His work was probably the single most important original source for the recovery of Aristotle for medieval European scholars prior to the middle of the 12th century.[28] The criticism of Ptolemy by Averroes directly influenced the Copernicus's heliocentrism.[29] Astronomers during that time introduced many Arabic names now used for individual stars.[30][31] It is also believed that the ruins at Great Zimbabwe and Timbuktu[32] may have housed astronomical observatories.[33] Europeans had previously believed that there had been no astronomical observation in sub-Saharan Africa during the pre-colonial Middle Ages, but modern discoveries show otherwise.[34][35][36][37]
For over six centuries (from the recovery of ancient learning during the late Middle Ages into the Enlightenment), the Roman Catholic Church gave more financial and social support to the study of astronomy than probably all other institutions. Among the Church's motives was finding the date for Easter.[38]
During the Renaissance, Nicolaus Copernicus proposed a heliocentric model of the solar system. His work was defended by Galileo Galilei and expanded upon by Johannes Kepler. Kepler was the first to devise a system that correctly described the details of the motion of the planets around the Sun. However, Kepler did not succeed in formulating a theory behind the laws he wrote down.[39] It was Isaac Newton, with his invention of celestial dynamics and his law of gravitation, who finally explained the motions of the planets. Newton also developed the reflecting telescope.[40]
Improvements in the size and quality of the telescope led to further discoveries. The English astronomer John Flamsteed catalogued over 3000 stars,[41] More extensive star catalogues were produced by Nicolas Louis de Lacaille. The astronomer William Herschel made a detailed catalog of nebulosity and clusters, and in 1781 discovered the planet Uranus, the first new planet found.[42] The distance to a star was announced in 1838 when the parallax of 61 Cygni was measured by Friedrich Bessel.[43]
During the 1819th centuries, the study of the three-body problem by Leonhard Euler, Alexis Claude Clairaut, and Jean le Rond d'Alembert led to more accurate predictions about the motions of the Moon and planets. This work was further refined by Joseph-Louis Lagrange and Pierre Simon Laplace, allowing the masses of the planets and moons to be estimated from their perturbations.[44]
Significant advances in astronomy came about with the introduction of new technology, including the spectroscope and photography. Joseph von Fraunhofer discovered about 600 bands in the spectrum of the Sun in 181415, which, in 1859, Gustav Kirchhoff ascribed to the presence of different elements. Stars were proven to be similar to the Earth's own Sun, but with a wide range of temperatures, masses, and sizes.[30]
The existence of the Earth's galaxy, the Milky Way, as its own group of stars was only proved in the 20th century, along with the existence of "external" galaxies. The observed recession of those galaxies led to the discovery of the expansion of the Universe.[45] Theoretical astronomy led to speculations on the existence of objects such as black holes and neutron stars, which have been used to explain such observed phenomena as quasars, pulsars, blazars, and radio galaxies. Physical cosmology made huge advances during the 20th century. In the early 1900s the model of the Big Bang theory was formulated, heavily evidenced by cosmic microwave background radiation, Hubble's law, and the cosmological abundances of elements. Space telescopes have enabled measurements in parts of the electromagnetic spectrum normally blocked or blurred by the atmosphere.[citation needed] In February 2016, it was revealed that the LIGO project had detected evidence of gravitational waves in the previous September.[46][47]
The main source of information about celestial bodies and other objects is visible light, or more generally electromagnetic radiation.[48] Observational astronomy may be categorized according to the corresponding region of the electromagnetic spectrum on which the observations are made. Some parts of the spectrum can be observed from the Earth's surface, while other parts are only observable from either high altitudes or outside the Earth's atmosphere. Specific information on these subfields is given below.
Radio astronomy uses radiation with wavelengths greater than approximately one millimeter, outside the visible range.[49] Radio astronomy is different from most other forms of observational astronomy in that the observed radio waves can be treated as waves rather than as discrete photons. Hence, it is relatively easier to measure both the amplitude and phase of radio waves, whereas this is not as easily done at shorter wavelengths.[49]
Although some radio waves are emitted directly by astronomical objects, a product of thermal emission, most of the radio emission that is observed is the result of synchrotron radiation, which is produced when electrons orbit magnetic fields.[49] Additionally, a number of spectral lines produced by interstellar gas, notably the hydrogen spectral line at 21cm, are observable at radio wavelengths.[12][49]
A wide variety of other objects are observable at radio wavelengths, including supernovae, interstellar gas, pulsars, and active galactic nuclei.[12][49]
Infrared astronomy is founded on the detection and analysis of infrared radiation, wavelengths longer than red light and outside the range of our vision. The infrared spectrum is useful for studying objects that are too cold to radiate visible light, such as planets, circumstellar disks or nebulae whose light is blocked by dust. The longer wavelengths of infrared can penetrate clouds of dust that block visible light, allowing the observation of young stars embedded in molecular clouds and the cores of galaxies. Observations from the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) have been particularly effective at unveiling numerous Galactic protostars and their host star clusters.[51][52]With the exception of infrared wavelengths close to visible light, such radiation is heavily absorbed by the atmosphere, or masked, as the atmosphere itself produces significant infrared emission. Consequently, infrared observatories have to be located in high, dry places on Earth or in space.[53] Some molecules radiate strongly in the infrared. This allows the study of the chemistry of space; more specifically it can detect water in comets.[54]
Historically, optical astronomy, also called visible light astronomy, is the oldest form of astronomy.[55] Images of observations were originally drawn by hand. In the late 19th century and most of the 20th century, images were made using photographic equipment. Modern images are made using digital detectors, particularly using charge-coupled devices (CCDs) and recorded on modern medium. Although visible light itself extends from approximately 4000 to 7000 (400 nm to 700nm),[55] that same equipment can be used to observe some near-ultraviolet and near-infrared radiation.
Ultraviolet astronomy employs ultraviolet wavelengths between approximately 100 and 3200 (10 to 320nm).[49] Light at those wavelengths is absorbed by the Earth's atmosphere, requiring observations at these wavelengths to be performed from the upper atmosphere or from space. Ultraviolet astronomy is best suited to the study of thermal radiation and spectral emission lines from hot blue stars (OB stars) that are very bright in this wave band. This includes the blue stars in other galaxies, which have been the targets of several ultraviolet surveys. Other objects commonly observed in ultraviolet light include planetary nebulae, supernova remnants, and active galactic nuclei.[49] However, as ultraviolet light is easily absorbed by interstellar dust, an adjustment of ultraviolet measurements is necessary.[49]
X-ray astronomy uses X-ray wavelengths. Typically, X-ray radiation is produced by synchrotron emission (the result of electrons orbiting magnetic field lines), thermal emission from thin gases above 107 (10million) kelvins, and thermal emission from thick gases above 107 Kelvin.[49] Since X-rays are absorbed by the Earth's atmosphere, all X-ray observations must be performed from high-altitude balloons, rockets, or X-ray astronomy satellites. Notable X-ray sources include X-ray binaries, pulsars, supernova remnants, elliptical galaxies, clusters of galaxies, and active galactic nuclei.[49]
Gamma ray astronomy observes astronomical objects at the shortest wavelengths of the electromagnetic spectrum. Gamma rays may be observed directly by satellites such as the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory or by specialized telescopes called atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes.[49] The Cherenkov telescopes do not detect the gamma rays directly but instead detect the flashes of visible light produced when gamma rays are absorbed by the Earth's atmosphere.[56]
Most gamma-ray emitting sources are actually gamma-ray bursts, objects which only produce gamma radiation for a few milliseconds to thousands of seconds before fading away. Only 10% of gamma-ray sources are non-transient sources. These steady gamma-ray emitters include pulsars, neutron stars, and black hole candidates such as active galactic nuclei.[49]
In addition to electromagnetic radiation, a few other events originating from great distances may be observed from the Earth.
In neutrino astronomy, astronomers use heavily shielded underground facilities such as SAGE, GALLEX, and Kamioka II/III for the detection of neutrinos. The vast majority of the neutrinos streaming through the Earth originate from the Sun, but 24 neutrinos were also detected from supernova 1987A.[49] Cosmic rays, which consist of very high energy particles (atomic nuclei) that can decay or be absorbed when they enter the Earth's atmosphere, result in a cascade of secondary particles which can be detected by current observatories.[57] Some future neutrino detectors may also be sensitive to the particles produced when cosmic rays hit the Earth's atmosphere.[49]
Gravitational-wave astronomy is an emerging field of astronomy that employs gravitational-wave detectors to collect observational data about distant massive objects. A few observatories have been constructed, such as the Laser Interferometer Gravitational Observatory LIGO. LIGO made its first detection on 14 September 2015, observing gravitational waves from a binary black hole.[58] A second gravitational wave was detected on 26 December 2015 and additional observations should continue but gravitational waves require extremely sensitive instruments.[59][60]
The combination of observations made using electromagnetic radiation, neutrinos or gravitational waves and other complementary information, is known as multi-messenger astronomy.[61][62]
One of the oldest fields in astronomy, and in all of science, is the measurement of the positions of celestial objects. Historically, accurate knowledge of the positions of the Sun, Moon, planets and stars has been essential in celestial navigation (the use of celestial objects to guide navigation) and in the making of calendars.
Careful measurement of the positions of the planets has led to a solid understanding of gravitational perturbations, and an ability to determine past and future positions of the planets with great accuracy, a field known as celestial mechanics. More recently the tracking of near-Earth objects will allow for predictions of close encounters or potential collisions of the Earth with those objects.[63]
The measurement of stellar parallax of nearby stars provides a fundamental baseline in the cosmic distance ladder that is used to measure the scale of the Universe. Parallax measurements of nearby stars provide an absolute baseline for the properties of more distant stars, as their properties can be compared. Measurements of the radial velocity and proper motion of stars allows astronomers to plot the movement of these systems through the Milky Way galaxy. Astrometric results are the basis used to calculate the distribution of speculated dark matter in the galaxy.[64]
During the 1990s, the measurement of the stellar wobble of nearby stars was used to detect large extrasolar planets orbiting those stars.[65]
Theoretical astronomers use several tools including analytical models and computational numerical simulations; each has its particular advantages. Analytical models of a process are generally better for giving broader insight into the heart of what is going on. Numerical models reveal the existence of phenomena and effects otherwise unobserved.[66][67]
Theorists in astronomy endeavor to create theoretical models and from the results predict observational consequences of those models. The observation of a phenomenon predicted by a model allows astronomers to select between several alternate or conflicting models as the one best able to describe the phenomena.
Theorists also try to generate or modify models to take into account new data. In the case of an inconsistency between the data and model's results, the general tendency is to try to make minimal modifications to the model so that it produces results that fit the data. In some cases, a large amount of inconsistent data over time may lead to total abandonment of a model.
Phenomena modeled by theoretical astronomers include: stellar dynamics and evolution; galaxy formation; large-scale distribution of matter in the Universe; origin of cosmic rays; general relativity and physical cosmology, including string cosmology and astroparticle physics. Astrophysical relativity serves as a tool to gauge the properties of large scale structures for which gravitation plays a significant role in physical phenomena investigated and as the basis for black hole (astro)physics and the study of gravitational waves.
Some widely accepted and studied theories and models in astronomy, now included in the Lambda-CDM model are the Big Bang, Cosmic inflation, dark matter, and fundamental theories of physics.
A few examples of this process:
Dark matter and dark energy are the current leading topics in astronomy,[68] as their discovery and controversy originated during the study of the galaxies.
Astrophysics is the branch of astronomy that employs the principles of physics and chemistry "to ascertain the nature of the astronomical objects, rather than their positions or motions in space".[69][70] Among the objects studied are the Sun, other stars, galaxies, extrasolar planets, the interstellar medium and the cosmic microwave background.[71][72] Their emissions are examined across all parts of the electromagnetic spectrum, and the properties examined include luminosity, density, temperature, and chemical composition. Because astrophysics is a very broad subject, astrophysicists typically apply many disciplines of physics, including mechanics, electromagnetism, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, quantum mechanics, relativity, nuclear and particle physics, and atomic and molecular physics.
In practice, modern astronomical research often involves a substantial amount of work in the realms of theoretical and observational physics. Some areas of study for astrophysicists include their attempts to determine the properties of dark matter, dark energy, and black holes; whether or not time travel is possible, wormholes can form, or the multiverse exists; and the origin and ultimate fate of the universe.[71] Topics also studied by theoretical astrophysicists include Solar System formation and evolution; stellar dynamics and evolution; galaxy formation and evolution; magnetohydrodynamics; large-scale structure of matter in the universe; origin of cosmic rays; general relativity and physical cosmology, including string cosmology and astroparticle physics.
Astrochemistry is the study of the abundance and reactions of molecules in the Universe, and their interaction with radiation.[73] The discipline is an overlap of astronomy and chemistry. The word "astrochemistry" may be applied to both the Solar System and the interstellar medium. The study of the abundance of elements and isotope ratios in Solar System objects, such as meteorites, is also called cosmochemistry, while the study of interstellar atoms and molecules and their interaction with radiation is sometimes called molecular astrophysics. The formation, atomic and chemical composition, evolution and fate of molecular gas clouds is of special interest, because it is from these clouds that solar systems form.
Studies in this field contribute to the understanding of the formation of the Solar System, Earth's origin and geology, abiogenesis, and the origin of climate and oceans.
Astrobiology is an interdisciplinary scientific field concerned with the origins, early evolution, distribution, and future of life in the universe. Astrobiology considers the question of whether extraterrestrial life exists, and how humans can detect it if it does.[74] The term exobiology is similar.[75]
Astrobiology makes use of molecular biology, biophysics, biochemistry, chemistry, astronomy, physical cosmology, exoplanetology and geology to investigate the possibility of life on other worlds and help recognize biospheres that might be different from that on Earth.[76] The origin and early evolution of life is an inseparable part of the discipline of astrobiology.[77] Astrobiology concerns itself with interpretation of existing scientific data, and although speculation is entertained to give context, astrobiology concerns itself primarily with hypotheses that fit firmly into existing scientific theories.
This interdisciplinary field encompasses research on the origin of planetary systems, origins of organic compounds in space, rock-water-carbon interactions, abiogenesis on Earth, planetary habitability, research on biosignatures for life detection, and studies on the potential for life to adapt to challenges on Earth and in outer space.[78][79][80]
Cosmology (from the Greek (kosmos) "world, universe" and (logos) "word, study" or literally "logic") could be considered the study of the Universe as a whole.
Observations of the large-scale structure of the Universe, a branch known as physical cosmology, have provided a deep understanding of the formation and evolution of the cosmos. Fundamental to modern cosmology is the well-accepted theory of the big bang, wherein our Universe began at a single point in time, and thereafter expanded over the course of 13.8 billion years[81] to its present condition.[82] The concept of the big bang can be traced back to the discovery of the microwave background radiation in 1965.[82]
In the course of this expansion, the Universe underwent several evolutionary stages. In the very early moments, it is theorized that the Universe experienced a very rapid cosmic inflation, which homogenized the starting conditions. Thereafter, nucleosynthesis produced the elemental abundance of the early Universe.[82] (See also nucleocosmochronology.)
When the first neutral atoms formed from a sea of primordial ions, space became transparent to radiation, releasing the energy viewed today as the microwave background radiation. The expanding Universe then underwent a Dark Age due to the lack of stellar energy sources.[83]
A hierarchical structure of matter began to form from minute variations in the mass density of space. Matter accumulated in the densest regions, forming clouds of gas and the earliest stars, the Population III stars. These massive stars triggered the reionization process and are believed to have created many of the heavy elements in the early Universe, which, through nuclear decay, create lighter elements, allowing the cycle of nucleosynthesis to continue longer.[84]
Gravitational aggregations clustered into filaments, leaving voids in the gaps. Gradually, organizations of gas and dust merged to form the first primitive galaxies. Over time, these pulled in more matter, and were often organized into groups and clusters of galaxies, then into larger-scale superclusters.[85]
Various fields of physics are crucial to studying the universe. Interdisciplinary studies involve the fields of quantum mechanics, particle physics, plasma physics, condensed matter physics, statistical mechanics, optics, and nuclear physics.
Fundamental to the structure of the Universe is the existence of dark matter and dark energy. These are now thought to be its dominant components, forming 96% of the mass of the Universe. For this reason, much effort is expended in trying to understand the physics of these components.[86]
The study of objects outside our galaxy is a branch of astronomy concerned with the formation and evolution of Galaxies, their morphology (description) and classification, the observation of active galaxies, and at a larger scale, the groups and clusters of galaxies. Finally, the latter is important for the understanding of the large-scale structure of the cosmos.
Most galaxies are organized into distinct shapes that allow for classification schemes. They are commonly divided into spiral, elliptical and Irregular galaxies.[87]
As the name suggests, an elliptical galaxy has the cross-sectional shape of an ellipse. The stars move along random orbits with no preferred direction. These galaxies contain little or no interstellar dust, few star-forming regions, and generally older stars. Elliptical galaxies are more commonly found at the core of galactic clusters, and may have been formed through mergers of large galaxies.
A spiral galaxy is organized into a flat, rotating disk, usually with a prominent bulge or bar at the center, and trailing bright arms that spiral outward. The arms are dusty regions of star formation within which massive young stars produce a blue tint. Spiral galaxies are typically surrounded by a halo of older stars. Both the Milky Way and one of our nearest galaxy neighbors, the Andromeda Galaxy, are spiral galaxies.
Irregular galaxies are chaotic in appearance, and are neither spiral nor elliptical. About a quarter of all galaxies are irregular, and the peculiar shapes of such galaxies may be the result of gravitational interaction.
An active galaxy is a formation that emits a significant amount of its energy from a source other than its stars, dust and gas. It is powered by a compact region at the core, thought to be a super-massive black hole that is emitting radiation from in-falling material.
A radio galaxy is an active galaxy that is very luminous in the radio portion of the spectrum, and is emitting immense plumes or lobes of gas. Active galaxies that emit shorter frequency, high-energy radiation include Seyfert galaxies, Quasars, and Blazars. Quasars are believed to be the most consistently luminous objects in the known universe.[88]
The large-scale structure of the cosmos is represented by groups and clusters of galaxies. This structure is organized into a hierarchy of groupings, with the largest being the superclusters. The collective matter is formed into filaments and walls, leaving large voids between.[89]
The Solar System orbits within the Milky Way, a barred spiral galaxy that is a prominent member of the Local Group of galaxies. It is a rotating mass of gas, dust, stars and other objects, held together by mutual gravitational attraction. As the Earth is located within the dusty outer arms, there are large portions of the Milky Way that are obscured from view.
In the center of the Milky Way is the core, a bar-shaped bulge with what is believed to be a supermassive black hole at its center. This is surrounded by four primary arms that spiral from the core. This is a region of active star formation that contains many younger, population I stars. The disk is surrounded by a spheroid halo of older, population II stars, as well as relatively dense concentrations of stars known as globular clusters.[90]
Between the stars lies the interstellar medium, a region of sparse matter. In the densest regions, molecular clouds of molecular hydrogen and other elements create star-forming regions. These begin as a compact pre-stellar core or dark nebulae, which concentrate and collapse (in volumes determined by the Jeans length) to form compact protostars.[91]
As the more massive stars appear, they transform the cloud into an H II region (ionized atomic hydrogen) of glowing gas and plasma. The stellar wind and supernova explosions from these stars eventually cause the cloud to disperse, often leaving behind one or more young open clusters of stars. These clusters gradually disperse, and the stars join the population of the Milky Way.[92]
Kinematic studies of matter in the Milky Way and other galaxies have demonstrated that there is more mass than can be accounted for by visible matter. A dark matter halo appears to dominate the mass, although the nature of this dark matter remains undetermined.[93]
The study of stars and stellar evolution is fundamental to our understanding of the Universe. The astrophysics of stars has been determined through observation and theoretical understanding; and from computer simulations of the interior.[94] Star formation occurs in dense regions of dust and gas, known as giant molecular clouds. When destabilized, cloud fragments can collapse under the influence of gravity, to form a protostar. A sufficiently dense, and hot, core region will trigger nuclear fusion, thus creating a main-sequence star.[91]

What does this actually mean? What does it look like? You married your wife, so didn't you already choose her? Let's unpack this a little…
For starters, it means waking up (not grabbing your phone to check Facebook/Instagram/Emails or last night's football score) and making the decision:
"I choose (fill in your wife's name) today."
Choosing to be committed to her when the moments of struggle come. Choosing to admire, love and respect your spouse rather than look around to see if someone or something better is out there. As married people in this day and age, it's imperative that we set boundaries…hedges of protection…and fight for our marriage in a way like never before in history.
Choosing your spouse daily; choosing to honor them, choosing that ONE person is a mighty way to fiercely protect your marriage. When we wake up in the morning and make the decision to love our spouse, our days change; our mind-set changes and distractions fade. Later in the day, when temptation pops it's ugly head out, we can attack it with, "I choose my wife."
By choosing to love and honor your wife not only strengthens our relationship, but most importantly, it brings glory back to God.

At the turn of this century we renovated a Grade 1 listed, 16th century home in East Lothian and IDES LTD were involved from the planning stage. They dealt with HiFi, Sky, Tv's, alarm and fire systems and computer systems Throughout they have been thorough, professional and exemplary in both the installation and ongoing care and support, we have asked endless questions all of which have been responded to efficiently and with care and attention. We have been able to respond to each new level of IT as the original installation was faultless, thereby saving us considerable costs as technology has moved forward. I would not hesitate in recommending them to anyone, their thoughtfulness and innovative approach to all things high tech is exemplary.
Ray Green-Scotland
>Dear Douglas
I undertook to get back to you on how I got on with IDES and I have to tell you it was a revelatory experience. For the first time in all the years I have been here I had someone in my flat who actually fully and properly understood the heating system. I had IDES LTD in, after they fixed my initial problem, to service and re-calibrate the thermostats. I would thoroughly recommend to anyone who has not had it done. It gives them an opportunity to check which thermostats are connected to which part of the system and to correct any wiring anomalies of which there were several in my flat and I can't believe I am alone. The work has eradicated the cold spots I had. Neil himself I found to be professional, genial and communicative as to the issues. I only wish I had met him some years ago. Five stars. As Chairman of our Association you should feel confident about recommending IDES LTD to other owners, my best to you,
Charles T-Edinburgh
I have used IDES as a trusted supplier since 2006. As part of a new build property they installed my extensive security system incorporating alarm, CCTV and security lighting. In addition they designed and installed our audio visual systems throughout the property and telephone system incorporating switchboard with multiple lines and over 12 extension handsets.
Over the years, as technology changes and our requirements and usage change, they have been responsive to helping us modify and upgrade using innovative solutions. In addition they have installed for us Solar panels and managed the design and installation of standby generator services which secures uninterrupted power to support a high tech house.
They are my first port of call for solutions based electrical services.
Jack M-Perth
We bought and refurbished a town house in Edinburgh's New Town in 2005. Ides fitted the Hi FI, SKY, TV's, broadband and alarm and have continued to maintain them ever since through multiple updates. We wouldn't have stayed with them if their service and price had not continued to meet our high standards.
Geoff A
I have been using IDES since 1999, initially they had installed the security system in my new home and a few years later I employed them as part of the team on a major renovation project. Here they installed lighting control, multi room music and a home cinema. Since then I have kept in touch and used them to make any changes to the lighting control and to keep the Audio-Visual system up to date with the latest technology.
Stephen Sharkey, Aberlady
For over 15 years, IDES has provided my family with a range of services, including audio visual systems, security systems and lighting. I have been impressed by their flexibility and the bespoke solutions that they propose, their level of technical knowledge and their ability to innovative. IDES also benchmark well on pricing and, therefore, represents a compelling value proposition.
For me, an important consideration in engaging a service provider is their responsiveness and in this respect IDES score highly, particularly their after sales service which is exemplary. For all my electrical system requirements my first call would be to IDES.

Lupe Fiasco Digital Biography
Born in a Muslim family on February 17, 1982, Wasalu Muhammad Jaco aka Lupe Fiasco was the fifth child out of nine siblings. His father is an engineer as well as an apt drummer while his mother is a gourmet chef. Little Fiasco was raised in Westside of Chicago and pursued his education at Illinois' Thornton Township High School. Rapping had gone into his head while he was still very young, but gangsta rap was popular during the time that he was intimidated by the profane lyrics produced by the rappers at that time. Thus he gave up rapping as a career choice.
However, when he heard Nas' 1996 album, "It Was Written", Fiasco was dumbstruck and instantly attracted to the art of rapping. At 19 years old he had formed a rapping group called Da Pak that were signed by Epic Records and released a single. Unfortunately, the group split up just after they were about to begin but fortunately for Fiasco who chose to go solo after that.
He immediately signed to Arista Records but when chairman and CEO Anthony "L.A." Reid stepped down from the position, he too had to quit from the label. Refusing to stop ...
in the track, Fiasco recorded a number of mixtapes and began uploading them on-line. Soon enough he was a quite popular Internet artist that his work was heard by renown rapper Jay-Z.
His appearance in Mike Shinoda's mixtape "Fort Minor: We Major" landed in the hand of Jay-Z who later on offered Fiasco to join his Roc-A-Fella label. Since Fiasco had already started mixing, releasing singles and gained money from it, he had enough preparation to start his own record label. Thus he turned down the offer from Jay-Z to start 1st and 15th Entertainment which is an imprint of Atlantic Records.
Through his own label, Fiasco released his debut studio album called "Food and Liquor". The album became a major success, gaining as much as four nominations at the 2007 Grammy Awards. Fiasco, by then was acknowledged as one of the rappers who was closely associated to A-listers in Hip-Hop community such as Kanye West, Pharrell Williams and Jill Scott. Together with the first two musicians he formed a supergroup called Child Rebel Soldiers who spawned many mixtapes.
He released an album called "The Cool" that proved to be another hit for him through two strong singles called "Dumb It Down" and "Superstar". The latter in particular has been a chart climber since it was released in December 2007. It peaked at number 10 on Billboard Hot 100. In the end of 2007, just after only releasing two studio albums, the rapper came with a shocking news that he was about to end his career in music.
"I'm just wearing down," he said. "I'm never doing mixtapes again, not even Internet ones. My whole energy for making hip-hop music is slowing down. I've been doing it for seven years. I still don't think I'm famous. I'll do what I have to do to promote my next album, but I'm not enthused about doing seven albums. I'll do my three, and then I am going to keep moving to the next phase of life and maybe grow trees."
The world was hoping that by the success Lupe could reverse his decision to quit the music industry. However in January 2008, the rapper made another announcement of his retirement from the business and announced his other venture, literature. "There are other ways besides putting out an album that allow me to channel my creative energy and I'm writing a book about a window washer. I will have more than enough to keep me busy," the rapper said.
With the announcement also came the confirmation that his third studio album "LupEND" that was due 2008 will be the latest release from him. He said, " 'LupEND' - that's going to be my last album's title. When you play a video game, you can only put in three letters for your name and when the game's over, those three letters and 'END' pop up."
But he changed the plan. The album did not come out in 2008 and was not titled "LupEND" either. A lot of delays from Atlantic Records about the release of his third album had prompted his fans to release a petition that brought tears to his eyes. The first single from "Lasers" was released in the fourth quarter of 2010 titled "The Show Goes On". It debuted at number 57 on Hot 100 and continued to climb to number 39 up until the album's released on March 8, 2011.
On February 10, 2013, on the red carpet for the Grammy Awards he announced his fifth studio album would be titled Tetsuo & Youth. Since then, he has released songs that are not slated to be on Tetsuo Youth. These songs are "Light Blue" and "Jonylah Forever." Upon hearing her name in Lupe's song Form Follows Function, Imogen Heap reached out to Lupe on Twitter to give a thank you which led to Fiasco asking her to appear on his next album making her a possible guest artist on Tetsuo and Youth. On August 4, 2013 Lupe Fiasco revealed a new song would be released on September 11, titled "Peace Of Paper/Cup Of Jayzus".
On August 24, 2013, Fiasco revealed the first song from Tetsuo & Youth, "Crack", featuring Chris Brown. Then on October 3, 2013, Fiasco announced the Tetsuo & Youth Preview tour to take place between November 2 and December 15, 2013. The tour featuring label-mate Stalley as a supporting act, and The Boy Illinois as an opening act. He also revealed the album Tetsuo & Youth would be released in early 2014. On October 14, 2013, Fiasco released the first song from the album, "Old School Love" featuring singer Ed Sheeran. Then on October 21, 2013, Fiasco revealed that Big K.R.I.T. and Rick Ross would also be featured on the album.
On May 19, 2014, Fiasco released the first single from the album, "Mission". 'Mission' is a track to empower those facing cancer, revere cancer survivors, and remember those who have passed to due to cancer-related illnesses," he explains. He has teamed up with Stand Up to Cancer as a celebrity ambassador. Together, they are planning collaborations tied to the track that will be unveiled the same year.
On May 20, 2014, U.S. Soccer named Lupe Fiasco as the Music Director for the Men's National Team and artist Futura the Art Director for the Men's National Team's 2014 FIFA World Cup campaign.

How to Improve Stamina for Football
Football places certain physical demands on the players participating in the game. It requires strength, speed, balance and agility. The game itself is structured to take place in quick bursts; players often must go at full speed throughout a play lasting from three to 30 seconds, then rest, line up, and do it again. The on-again/off-again pace can make it difficult for a player to go the distance of an entire game. Improving stamina is critically important, since many of the game-deciding plays will occur in the final minutes of the game.
Perform interval training with sprints and shuttle runs several times each week as a supplement to the drills and activities you already do in practice. Each session should be between 30 and 40 minutes.
Run longer distances at least twice a week. Use either a running or jogging pace, and build up your distance over the course of weeks -- up to 2 miles per session.
Eat a nutritionally appropriate diet. The balanced diet should be comprised of 40 percent protein, 30 percent simple carbohydrates such as fruit and vegetables, and 30 percent healthy fats from nuts, fatty fish and flax seeds.
Perform routine workouts that feature plyometrics. Box jumps, ladder drills and cone drills will help develop agility as well as stamina. During the off-season, perform several sessions each week. During the season, add no more than two supplemental sessions in between practice and gametime.
Don't overdo it. Fold in supplement workouts with your team's training schedule. Begin the additional workouts during the off-season if possible.
