Since 2012, Captivated has held an annual conference which aims to be a space where we can come together to worship and have precious time to engage with God.
The 2019 Captivated Conference
was held in Salford in March
click here to read and hear more about it
Here's what some Captivated Mums have to say:
Felt a completely safe place time and place to express my worship to God. There was no judgement, no right or wrong way to respond, I loved it.
I loved it. The whole team was so welcoming and open to all mums with whatever age children/faith. Loved the discussion times reflecting on the morning message. Puts it all into practice.
Within the time we sang the first couple of songs I was already in tears. I hadn't realised how spiritually dry I was and how in need of God's closeness and refilling I was. My life is run by 'What ifs…' and it was a huge eye opener to how much I hold back because of it. I am already looking forward to my spiritual reboot next year!
It was a very nice day just dedicated to God. The atmosphere was great. I feel like I received a big boost in my walk with God and my daily life and to speak to other.

I've been thinking about life before apps. (I know. Strange thing to ponder.)
How did we ever get anything done without our smartphones and apps?
I mean, just think: some of us remember a time when we were able to find a new restaurant without GPS and to top it off we went to the restaurant simply because someone told us it was good; not because we read a good review on Yelp.
It's so easy to forget what it was like before we had cool timesaving tools like apps. But….. you can also get into "app overwhelm" with so many apps on your phone taking up space and cluttering up your mind.
So I've got a great project for you…
Declutter those apps! Plus I'm going to give you my list of must-have apps to live an organized life.
Let's dig in.
Step 1: Delete any unused apps.
Go through all your apps and see what you don't use and simply delete them. You can always add them back if you decide you really do need them. (For iPhone users you can use the "Offload Apps" feature – see Step 4.)
On iPhone:
- Tap and hold any app icon until all the icons start wiggling.
- You'll notice that many, if not most of them, have a little X at the top left corner, which you can then click the x to delete.
- And don't worry – you can quickly add the app again if you find you need it. (This will NOT recover any documents or data so consider using the Offload App feature in Step 4.)
On Android:
- Open your device's Settings app
- Tap "Apps and Notifications"
- Tap the app you want to uninstall
- Tap Uninstall
What about those annoying apps that came installed on your phone and you don't want to see them but can't seem to get rid of them? You most likely won't be able to delete them but there is a workaround.
For iPhone: You can create a folder for those apps you don't use but can't install. Simply drag one of the apps into another and you'll be prompted to name the folder. I call mine "Xtras". This way they are there if you need them later.
For Android: You can't delete some system apps that came pre-installed on your Android device. But you can turn them off so that they won't show on the list of apps on your device. Follow the same instructions above but if you don't see the app be sure and tap either See All Apps or App Info.
Step 2: Create folders/groups to organize your apps.
This is super important if you have a lot of apps. You can create folders or groups and organize them by function.
For example, you could put all your social media apps into one folder and all your financial related apps into another folder. Here are some more examples:
- A folder for travel and meals to store apps like Expedia or Yelp.
- A folder for your business for apps like time tracking programs and expense report management, or your banking app.
- If you do a lot of photo editing you could organize all those apps into one folder.
- I have a spiritual/personal growth folder where I keep affirmation apps and some oracle card apps I enjoy.
On iPhone:
- To make a folder, drag an app onto another app.
- If you want to rename the folder, tap the name field and then enter the new name.
- Now that you have a folder, you can drag apps into it.
- Folders can have more than one page.
On Android:
- Touch and hold an app or shortcut.
- Drag that app or shortcut on top of another.
- To add more, drag each one on top of the group.
- To name the group, tap the group and enter the name.
Step 3: Organize your apps into pages (home screens for Android).
I love using different pages on my iPhone. For example, my first page includes the apps I use regularly – almost daily – like messages, calendar, contacts, Evernote, Chrome, Trello, and Gmail.
My second page is all business related and my third page is all my personal apps. I love separating business and personal on to different pages. It's a great way to keep some balance and have a personal life.
On iPhone:
- You start with one page of apps. To make a new page, drag an app to the right edge of the screen. You might need to wait a second for the new page to appear.
- To delete a page, consolidate all your apps to another Home screen. When there are no apps present the page will delete.
- When you have more than one page, a bright dot in a row of dots above the Dock shows you which page you're on.
- You can move an app to a different page and create new pages.
On Android:
- To add a home screen: Touch and hold an app, shortcut, or group. Slide it to the right until you see a blank Home screen. Lift your finger.
- To move a home screen: On the Home screen that you want to move, touch and hold an empty space. Lift your finger. Touch and hold the image of that Home screen. Slide the image of that Home screen right or left.
- To remove home screen: Move your apps, shortcuts, widgets, and groups off the Home screen. After the last one is removed, the Home screen will be removed.
Step 4: Check your storage space availability and see what apps are eating up your phone storage.
You'll want to check and see how much space you have on your phone because it's no fun to be in a hurry to download something and realize you can't because you're out of space. So check the space and remove any apps that are taking up a lot of that precious space. If your photos are taking up a lot of space you may need to move them off your phone and onto the Cloud or your computer if you need more space.
On iPhone:
- Go to Settings, General, Storage (or iPhone/iPad storage).
- You'll see an Offload Unused Apps area to enable if you want to offload apps you don't use often. This is great because they're not deleted. It saves your documents and data. Keep in mind though that you will still see the icon on your iPhone. When you click the icon it will re-activate it.
- Scroll down and see what space all your apps are taking and you can decide to remove any.
On Android:
- To see what's using storage: Open your device's Settings app, tap storage, tap a category.
- To free up storage: Open your device's Settings app, tap Storage, tap Free Up Space.
- To pick something to delete, tap the empty box on the right. (If nothing is listed, tap Review recent items.) To delete the selected items, at the bottom, tap Free Up.
- Learn more here: https://support.google.com/android/answer/7431795?hl=en-GB
Step 5: Turn off those annoying push notifications.
Do you really want to be notified of everything that happens or get reminded that you need to go visit a store because you happen to have their app? I suggest turning off most notifications from apps you have installed.
I currently only have notifications turned on for:
- Text messages that come in
- Banking/credit cards as I want to get notified of unusual activity
- Calendar notifications as I want to be reminded of appointments
- Marco Polo as I use it for client communications so I want to get notified of any new messages.
- And that's it.
Did you notice I didn't say I had notifications turned for new emails? That's right. I HIGHLY suggest you turn off email notifications and only check emails 1-3 times a day. You will be more productive if you do this.
On iPhone:
- Go to Settings
- Tap Notifications
- Select the app and you can turn off "Allow Notifications" by sliding to off
On Android:
- Go to Settings
- Tap Apps & Notifications
- Tap Notifications
- App Notifications
- Tap an app
- Turn notifications off
My Must-Have Apps
So now that you have a plan to get your apps all organized I'd like to share my list of my must-have apps to help you get and stay organized.
For task management: Trello
I love Trello to organize all my tasks for me and my clients. You can learn why I love Trello here in my video and start using Trello for free here.
To store all my data and allow me to find everything easily: Evernote
I love Evernote and use it to store most all my information and data. And I love being able to access it on my phone. You can even use it to record and take pictures! Learn more here.
To save paper files to Evernote/my computer: Scannable
Scannable is a free app from Evernote that captures the paper in your life quickly and beautifully, transforming it into high-quality scans ready to save or share. (It's way better than just taking a picture!) Get it here.
To store all of my passwords: 1Password
The motto of 1Password is "Go ahead. Forget your passwords. 1Password remembers them all for you. Save your passwords and log in to sites with a single click. It's that simple." And it is very simple. Anywhere I go all I have to remember is one password and that opens 1Password to all my passwords from anywhere I am. (I just used this app the other day as I was at an ATM trying to withdraw cash from an account I hardly use and I couldn't remember my password. I simply opened up the 1Password app, entered my password and could see all my info, including my ATM code.) Learn more here.
For communication with clients, family, and friends: Marco Polo
I must admit I was reluctant to try the Marco Polo app. I didn't want another app but this free app is super useful. It's like a walkie-talkie and I LOVED walkie-talkies as a child! It's face-to-face messaging for one-to-one and group conversations. I use this mostly for client messaging. Some coaches are even using it or Voxer for coaching sessions.
Take Action
Organize your apps and determine if there are any new ones you may want to try out.

I myself have never had one because it is quite new, and I just found out last weekend. What is meant by killer resin is how I'm curious. Killer as a killer or killer detail in the price. Because so far we know that products from China are usually able to create the same goods but at a much cheaper selling price.
Even their latest product that will be released is the Porsche RWB 993 Martini, this can be said to be an amazing breakthrough beside Liberty Walk and Rocket Bunny. It seems that a new brand from China is directly cooperating with the Japanese modifiers. But it's not a strange thing because if I were a sniper, this brand new diecast model cars are basically car modifiers.
New brand in the world of car models is called Fuelme Models. Scale made by Fuelme Models for a while diecast cars 1/64 and also 1/43. When viewed in the gallery Fuelme Models detail this car model is very good both on a scale of 1/64 and 1/43.
If it is true that Fuelme Models will sell diecast model cars at very low prices, this will be dangerous for competitors who have played earlier. Price war will definitely occur here, and I didn't know this issue would be Fairplay or not.
For the colonization of the market, what techniques are used by Fuelme Models? Let the marketing think. We as the most important consumers are just the level of detail and price.
For those of you who are curious to see a more complete gallery of Fuelme Models just visit the IG at @fuelmechina get ready to scratch and shake his head.
Because the diecast car models from Fuelme Models are visible there are Lamborghini Liberty Walk Liberty Walks, Porsche RWB, Mazda Rx 7 Pandem, Toyota GT 86 Rocket Bunny.
See for yourself, bro, the collection is in the IG Fuelme Models gallery, or want to ask, just go ahead. Ok I resign first because my stomach is hungry I want to eat

You've probably seen–or been directly involved in–the 'Me Too' hashtag taking over social media this week. The concept of the awareness campaign was started by black activist Tarana Burke, and was publicized most recently by actress Alyssa Milano to illustrate the magnitude of sexual assault.
The hashtag has had a huge response world-wide with women sharing stories, adding their voices or just letting each other know they are not alone. The significance of the single phrase is to allow victims of sexual assault to see each other without having to relive and disclose their stories. The simple 'Me Too' says a thousand words.
If you've been sexually harassed or assaulted write 'me too' as a reply to this tweet. pic.twitter.com/k2oeCiUf9n

#metoo A manager on my first big tour as a backup singer. When I went to a lawyer he told me to suck it up bc the guy could do a lot for me.
— Sheryl Crow (@SherylCrow) October 16, 2017
The movement also sparked some online criticism. As much as some women were drawing strength from the showings of solidarity, the campaign puts the onus on the victims to expose the issue, rather than on men to call out and interrogate the role they play. There is a dangerous power dynamic and complicity at play here. Women and victims should not have to bear the burden of fixing an issue that is out of their control by definition. Canadian journalist Liz Plank articulated those feelings well and started the counter-tag, #HimThough. While there are certainly women who enact abuse and men who are victims, sexual assault is most often the result of an unfair power dynamic between a man and a woman; these movements address that systemic dynamic.
I'm proud of women for sharing their stories on #MeToo but we need a shift about how we talk about sexual assault so i'm starting #HimThough
— Liz Plank (@feministabulous) October 17, 2017
#MeToo I was sexually harassed, physically and verbally attacked. But what about him though? Who decided it was women's job to fix men?
— Liz Plank (@feministabulous) October 17, 2017
Why is the burden always on women? I'm done pretending sexual assault is a woman's issue. Your shame is not ours. No sir. #HimThough
— Liz Plank (@feministabulous) October 17, 2017
It's ludicrous to say sexual assault is a women's issue. Men are victims too. And in vast majority of cases they're perpetrators. #HimThough
— Liz Plank (@feministabulous) October 17, 2017
How many women will it take to say #MeToo before men talk about #HimThough.
— Liz Plank (@feministabulous) October 17, 2017
Thankfully, men have come through in response to both trends with #IHearYou. Now that victims are coming forward in such numbers in support of each other, the response from others is just as important for actual change. Many men apologized for the system that allows and enables sexual assault, offered sympathies and vowed to do better. There is far more work to be done, but awareness and apologies are a start.
#IHearYou i'm ashamed of what is going on as a man, and stand with all women who are victims of sexual harassment/abuse.

Welcome to the four hundred and second of my blog interviews with novelists, poets, short story authors, biographers, agents, publishers and more. Today's is with Hersilia Press publisher Ilaria Meliconi. A list of interviewees (blogged and scheduled) can be found here. If you like what you read, please do go and investigate further.
Morgen: Hello, Ilaria. Can you please briefly explain the structure of your publishing house… perhaps who's involved along the process of an acceptance to the book / story being published.
Ilaria: I publish Italian crime fiction including translations of books by Italian authors and English books set in Italy.

For translations, when I find a suitable book I send a copy to readers…

Logan Wright stole the limelight during the Junior Show with Cherry Knoll Lady 1356, winning the Grand Champion Cow/Calf. His success continued when he returned to the show ring with Cherry Knoll Lady 1410, winning Junior Champion Female, as well as the Reserve Grand Champion Female. Sister, Lexi Wright, showed Cherry Knoll Cheyenne 1449 to the Reserve Champion Intermediate Female to close out the Junior Show.
During the Open Show, Cherry Knoll Farm kicked the competition up a notch. Claudia Hissong started the drive to Kansas State University, but decided to make a pit stop at the State Fair of West Virginia to show her cow/calf pair. Cherry Knoll Rosebud 1331 ended up winning the Grand Champion Cow/Calf with the top marks. Hissong also showed Miss Rosebud to win the Junior Calf Championship. It was the perfect moment for Cherry Knoll Farm, as they were able to wish Hissong good luck in her transition into college. The State Fair of West Virginia marked her last show before her freshman year of college.
The Cherry Knoll Farm team showed no signs of stopping as David Smith showed Cherry Knoll Elsa 1472 to win the Senior Calf Championship. Two more purple ribbons were added to their list of accolades with Lexi Wright showing Cherry Knoll Cheyenne 1449 to win the Intermediate Champion Heifer division. While Logan wrapped up the Open Show with Cherry Knoll Lady 1410 winning the Reserve Champion Heifer title.
Cherry Knoll Brigade 1404 was named Grand Champion Bull, with Brody Fitzgerald at the helm of the showing success. Logan Wright led Wright CKF Product to the Reserve Junior Bull Championship.

The Dupreys own their West Grove, PA, farm as well as a beautiful stable for their horses in Wellington, FL, where Margaret competes during the winter.
Only one week prior to the State Fair of West Virginia, Andretti S, international grand prix show jumping horse, took the second place finish in San

He found her grave and wept. An angel appeared and said, because of the sheer power of your love and the promise you made, I cannot return your loved one to you, but I will give you, her heart…

The Goddess Of Love Desired Them….
The goddess of love, beauty, and sensuality, having grown temporarily bored with the intrigues, the lust, and the regular mayhem that generally reigned upon Mount Olympus, turned her attention to earth. Having spied the object of her desire, her heart began to flutter and to beat with a deep-seated longing. She contrived to pick a fight so as to be sent away to be near her love. As she had anticipated, for punishment she was banished to earth for a time out. She had to sate the raging need that burned within her and she hurriedly procured for herself… Paisley Daisy's Elie Saab "influenced" Sheer Pink lavender leaf Gown and In Memory of Watermelon fascinator! As she covered her nakedness with her new found loves she felt the gentle breeze of the garden pass through the sheerness of her pink and lavender gown. The coloring was a perfect foil for her prized alabaster skin. The Paisley Daisy's Sheer Pink lavender leaf Gown was so appropriate for an afternoon delight in the garden! The cut of the bodice highlighted her delicate and feminine shaped shoulders and emphasized her neck. She was in ecstasy admiring herself in her gown! Her hat was very appropriate for her, smiling, as watermelons are used as natural aphrodisiacs! As she donned her new chapeau, she was in love…with herself! The In Memory of Watermelon fascinator by Chop Zuey is a succulent juicy red ripe watermelon upon a beautifully adorned diamond tray that now was hers, satisfying her heart's envy for the unobtainable. What an exquisite, amazing, creation fit for a goddess! As she continue to preen and fill her own head with thoughts of her own praise of her beauty in her new finery, she finally looked around for someone to work her charm upon and then she realized that she had been banished to the garden of no inhabitants!

Leicester transfer news: Foxes told to pay £20m for Gremio striker Luan as agent confirms talks with champions
Leicester continue to be linked with Ahmed Musa but Luan's agent Jair Peixoto confirms talks have been held
LEICESTER CITY have been told they must pay £20million for Brazilian striker Luan.
The player's agent has confirmed he has been in talks with the Premier League champions over a move to the King Power Stadium.
Luan's club Gremio would accept a £20m offer for the 23-year-old.
But agent Jair Peixoto says no agreement is in place yet but that the Brazil Under-23 international could qualify for a work permit as a 'special player'.
Peixoto said: "There is no talk of priority. We will close with the first to arrive with what we demand.
"Luan could be registered as a 'special player' too, he fits it, and therefore he would not have any obstacle in case of an agreement.
"It was a conversation to show what we want as a business model, our ideas and what we plan to achieve.
"We didn't set a deadline for the bid to be made. It could be tomorrow or in 10 days."

The Italian giants are waiting on confirmation of the £20million buy-out clause Kante's contract before making a move.
Juve have been told Kante wants to respect the agreement he made with Leicester bosses last summer so they can get as big a fee as possible for him.
Real Madrid are also monitoring Kante's situation along with Chelsea.

There are several things that you need to pay in your proposal letter. A suggestion letter is a sort of business letter that you use to introduce someone to your own ideas. Sending out a proposal letter is a significant way of informing your audience about what your company or project is all about. If you're in doubt of what you want to write on your proposal letters, then make certain you research samples that could possibly be considered as an excellent match for your business you're in and the company you may offer your proposition to. If you rush your proposal letters, then it might reflect in the way that you compose the letter and could, subsequently, hurt the potential for getting your proposal letter confirmed in addition to lose a possible customer. Now whether you're writing a business letter or a proposal correspondence, it's fairly imperative that you communicate your ideas in a suitable method.
Perhaps you already understand what a proposition is and its principal intent. Last, you can wrap up your proposal by providing a summary. A proposal may include a number of elements of a project that the customer can consent to or negotiate with you on, should they do not need each of the components offered in the proposal, they could request to eliminate certain elements, add extra services etc. Regardless of whether an investment proposition was created for a relative or a sophisticated investment organization, proper documentation consistently enriches your capacity to secure financing.
In various circumstances the proposal may be a formal solicitation, usually called an RFP (request for proposal). The primary reason why you need to be creating proposals is it clarifies and establishes the functions and aims of this undertaking. The moment you feel that the proposal is completed, be certain to thoroughly proofread and spell-check each of the pages. The consulting suggestion is a essential wicked. There are many different varieties of sample consulting suggestions.
Anyone who'd like to send a proposal to another business or associations needs to accompany it with a proposal correspondence. If you are submitting a proposition, then add just a tiny summary associated with it in the very first paragraph. Last, it is possible to save your proposal for a PDF document or publish it on paper and deliver it to your prospective customer. Otherwise, you're going to end up with a broad assortment of proposals that seem to don't have any relation to one another. In various scenarios a proposition may be required, occasionally not. Proposals and Contracts aren't the exact same thing! If your proposal has a whole lot of sloppy mistakes, then another party may presume you are equally as careless on your company practices. Some people write proposals that have a lengthy lawyer-type contract. Business proposals need to be distinguished from estimates. When you accept a business proposal from another organization or organization, it's best to officially notify the firm whether you are accepting the proposition. You may provide a workshop anywhere, but the perfect place to get started is by calling your local adult education or community centre. You must price your workshop for the market.
Every project is unique in some fashion. It will present some non-project advantages. By way of instance, if the job takes a specific skill set, then compose the way that your experience relating to it. A proposal is the final step before the beginning of a job and it is almost a contract. Again, it contains the customer's requirements or problem and the suggested solution. Such a proposal is usually sent to a lot of possible donors and usually requires the need of a lumpsum price. You shouldn't send the specific same proposal to more than 1 business without completely knowing the need for the business's project. If you want to make a training proposal and are searching for ideas on the format, then a training proposal template could be useful.
Should you lower your cost from what you usually charge, you always have the option of cutting back the amount of details which you offer. Hopefully it'll be based both on cost and capability to satisfy your needs, but the way you make that final decision is the selection. Please validate the fee was eliminated. Before you decrease a project fee, be sure you're creating a currency. As a principle, a class minimum shouldn't be less than 7 individuals. The total requirement is the fee needs to be fair, though some agencies provide more specific advice.
Basically the sample templates need to be customized based on your needs and then utilized in order it appears to have been established as a new written merchandise. The most important reason for using sample suggestion templates would be to receive a idea about ways to commence the practice of producing an impressive offer which gets you a specific shot approval from your prospective customer. You're able to see a consulting proposal template to comprehend the arrangement of such a proposition. At length, be sure you have customized the template in light of the requirement of this job. It is possible to opt for an event proposal template for a simple structure of the proposal. The dissertation proposal example template would provide you space to write concerning the subject of your dissertation and the angle that you are going to explore in your own research. Such reasons are examples of possible future problems which you have to define. There is a specific structure a proposition should have to answer each of the probable questions a client can have. Other times you must undergo an official selection clinic.
With a credible estimate of advantages, the client has an extremely effective context to evaluate whether your planned fee is an excellent thing. It needs to be clear just how much the client pays. Frequently, the client utilizes the ballpark amount to discover preliminary approval for the job.
If you understand what you would like, then you will have the ability to choose the very best service provider for you. After all, if you barter all your services every of the moment, then you won't ever make an income. Also note that, dependent on your service, totally free occasions can find the job done as well as compensated occasions, especially for business-to-consumer professional services. The first point to figure out is if the client has a vehicle to trade. You can provide a workshop anywh One approach to build your company is to produce interest and interaction with potential clients or customers. The organization also should be capable of supplying any training important to operate each machine securely.
If you do so, I am going to have the ability to renew my lease. When it is not in the rental, attempt to negotiate a clause where if you sign before a specific date there'll not be a rent hike. To begin with, it's important to understand the expressions and process of preparing a cost proposal to have the ability to comply with government requirements. Since the individual reading your request isn't likely to be the individual that has the money your intent would be to connect with that individual in a manner that they will genuinely feel that the need to show it to someone else higher up the chain of control or even the billionaire or millionaire themselves.
Whether you're designing your site for the very first time or redesigning it, you need to be quite careful in choosing a proposal that suits your requirements. You desire a fresh-looking site that differs from various sites using a similar target market. You might also want to find online and try to find a site design proposal template which may meet your needs.

Jammates Sets Oct 10th Street Date for
Cooper Tisdale & Friends Live in Atlanta
Atlanta / LaGrange Georgia ... Jammates Records readies the CD release of Cooper Tisdale & Friends Live in Atlanta (JAM-0627-CD). With the street date set for October 10th, Tisdales third project delivers a stellar live set of contemporary rock/jazz fusion. Cooper offers up all original material chocked full of thoughtful melodies and a powerful performance by his bandmates. In addition to Tisdale on guitar and select vocal tracks, this line-up of & Friends features David Savage (keys), Joe Reda (bass), Jason LaMarca (drums) and Juan Bonini (percussion) with guest appearances by Michael Merideth (vocal) and Rafael Pereira (pandeiro).
We are very excited to be working with Cooper, comments Pat Patten, Jammates Managing Partner. Paul [Hammock], Coe [Cloud] and I first heard him about a year ago and were knocked out with his memorable guitar playing. But more importantly, as weve gotten to know him, he continues to impress us with his no-compromise, professional approach to everything that he does.
I think its the right time to do a live project, adds Tisdale, I had been laying low from performing with an original band, but when this opportunity presented itself, it seemed like a good fit. It was exciting to offer up a fresh perspective on some of my original tunes from the two previous studio recordings, plus I was able to present a few new ones too. Over the coming months Ill continue playing with old and new friends throughout the southeast to support the record. And, well globally promote via MySpace, a RadioDirectX radio rollout and through the Jammates worldwide digital distribution network."
Patten adds, We look forward to continuing our work together as we rollout Cooper Tisdale & Friends Live in Atlanta. Visit the new Cooper Tisdale MySpace site and attend select showcase performances over the coming weeks. Finally, we hope to announce a new joint recording project early next year."
More information about Cooper Tisdale is available from his presence on the Web: http://www.CooperTisdale.com and http://www.myspace.com/CooperTisdale

Atlanta Journal-Constitution: "A sincere, emotive songwriter and an elegant player."
Richard Mills of Creative Loafing: "For guitarist, Cooper Tisdale... the rock/jazz synthesis is as natural and fulfilling as it is hard to label."
Atlanta Press: "...when he hits on a bluesy riff and extrapolates from there, there's no doubt just how good this guy is." & "Tisdale has a raspy but sensitive voice that works surprisingly well with his pop side, especially on the ballad "Bad Judge"."
Karen Hatchett, Hatchett PR: "Cooper Tisdale is a madman with a mission on guitar. His inspired playing is funky, passionate and extremely articulate. You will swear that guitar can sing! He evokes shades of Clapton, yet has his own unique delivery, and surprises you with music ranging from jazz, to soul, to rock."
"Smokin'! It was great." Emily Saliers, Indigo Girls
"...the mix of textures and styles is superb..." Ron Shuff, Franklin Jazz Festival
"Cooper is such an elegant and versatile player." Kristen Hall of Sugarland
Cooper Tisdale has caught the ears of listeners from Canada to the coast of Georgia with his soulfulness and eclectic mix of music. Although this guitarist's music can be described as jazz/rock, his influences encompass many genres.
After studying at California's Guitar Institute of Technology, Cooper returned to Georgia and began his music career, performing everything from rock to jazz and funk. He has performed at Radio City Music Hall with the Indigo Girls and at Carnegie Hall with Kristen Hall. He has shared bills with Chet Atkins, Steve Morse, REO Speedwagon, 311, Grover Washington, Jr., the Nixons, and Spyro Gyra. He has also performed with members of The Band, the Crusaders, and Earth, Wind & Fire.
His own diverse abilities are Cooper's greatest assets. Aside from performance, he devotes time to writing and has released two independent CDs, Face Up and Up From Down on Under The Hill Records. Cooper Tisdale & Friends Live in Atlanta, his third and latest CD on the Jammates Records label, delivers a stellar live set of contemporary rock/jazz fusion. Tisdale offers up all original material chocked full of thoughtful melodies and powerful performances by his bandmates.

Men in Blazers, the cheeky British soccer analysts who became breakout media stars during the World Cup, are taking their self-proclaimed "suboptimal ramblings" to network television.
The two commentators, Roger Bennett and Michael Davies, will host their own show on NBC Sports on Monday nights, beginning shortly after the Barclays Premier League season opens this weekend.
"To join the sports division of the network that brought us 'ALF,' 'The A-Team' and 'Miami Vice' is a teenage dream come true for me and Rog," Mr. Davies, a TV executive who has produced such shows as "Wife Swap" and "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire," wrote in an e-mail.
The news was first reported Sunday night by The Wall Street Journal.
Until recently, the duo was best known for their weekly podcast on ESPN's website Grantland, which had a small but devoted following. But during the World Cup, they crossed over to the sports media mainstream, riffing on the tournament's most amusing and compelling story lines in their whimsical, self-deprecating nightly reports from a tiny room on ESPN's beachfront set in Rio de Janeiro.
In awarding Mr. Davies and Mr. Bennett their own show, NBC is betting that Men in Blazers can get much bigger still, as soccer — and the Premier League, in particular — continues to gain popularity as a spectator sport in the United States.
Last year, NBC's first as the league's broadcaster in the United States, was its most successful among American sports fans. According to the Nielsen Company, about 31 million Americans tuned in to Premier League games, more than double the number for the previous year. As it enters the 2014-15 season, NBC will have the wind from the World Cup — the most widely watched in United States history — at its back.
In addition to their weekly TV show, Men in Blazers will also write and produce online videos for NBC Sports, The Journal reported.
"We are honored and elated to be able to intensify our coverage of the Premier League which, for two Englishmen plays a role that the Torah, Egyptian Book of the Dead, or 'Epic of Gilgamesh' did for ancient cultures," Mr. Bennett said in an e-mail.

New Album by Heartmath: "All the light"
Faced with the bitter end of a treasured relationship, composer Heartmath was heavy with grief, lost, unmoored. Since energy can neither be destroyed nor created, only transformed from one state to another, he chose to pour his feelings into "All the light", recorded as a paean, a tribute, to honor his cherished experience and the woman he shared it with.

Nigerians love soccer. Not just Nigerians but Africans and the world in general. We love the blues, gunners and so many others. We wish we could be present in some of these football matches, but as much as we like football, most people still cannot afford to buy a DSTV or subscribe to a cable network TV!
It's a problem most Nigerians can't deal with. And that's where the real money is. In Nigeria, we have network cable companies such as DSTV, Strong, MyTV, HiTV, CTL, DaarSat, StarTimes, GoTV, etc.
Just imagine you own a football viewing center that has a sitting capacity of 500 and for each football match, your customers pay between N50 – N100 per match Multiply that 500 by 50 0r 100; and you will have a whopping N25,000 – N50,000 per match!
Isn't that a good small scale business?
Now, are you interested in starting a football viewing center? Do you know that with a well established football viewing business, you can generate a monthly profit of at least N400,000? You may be skeptical or think I am over-exaggerating, but that's the truth
What You Need to Start a Football Viewing Center
- A wooden bench to save start up costs. Plastic chairs are better but they are often damaged during the celebrations of goals and match wins.
- Carpet
- Standing fans, ceiling fans or air conditioner
- Air freshener
- A good generator and possibly a UPS in case of power outage to keep the TV running
- Cable TV or DSTV dish with monthly subscription
- Two big Television set with high resolution or projectors
- Bulbs
- Extension sockets
- A refrigerator just in case you want to add an extra income stream by selling cold soft drinks
- A printed ticket or coupons to identifying paying customers
Football Viewing Center Sample Business Plan Template
1. Get an Ideal Location
Get a good location; a location or building that has enough room for expansion. If it's an open space like a football field, then you may need to get a carpenter to form a tent shed using zinc; and ensure that the structure is wide enough to contain a good number of people (say 100 to 300 sitting capacity). You should learn to think big and start small.
2. Set It Up
If you are on a low budget, the next thing to do is to get a carpenter to make wood benches for you as it minimizes start up costs and contains a lot more people. But if you have enough capital, you can opt for single plastic chairs as they are more comfortable. A nice touch would be to install some sports turf like the stuff you can find on sites like http://www.sportsandsafetysurfaces.co.uk/ , of course you would need the budget for such a thing, but it would surely make you stand out of the crowd
You must also ensure that the room or building is properly ventilated; so as to make your customers feel comfortable. If they don't feel comfortable watching football matches in your viewing center, then there's a high chance they will patronize your competitors.
Management Tips for Running a Viewing Center
1. Get a blackboard or notice board outside your football center to write out all upcoming matches for the day.
2. If you have more capital and you want to make your viewing center top-notch, you can employ cooks to sell pepper soup, small chops, recharge card vouchers, and cold drinks. You could even sell these things yourself. If you are married, or a good cook, you could set up a pepper soup joint beside your viewing center.
3. Another strategy to stay at the top of your game is by offering bonanzas or produce T-shirts with the name of your viewing centers printed on it. Be smart and creative. There's so much money to be made in this business!
4. Treat your customers with respect. Customers are the backbone of every business! Be friendly to your customers. They are the sole reason you are still in business. Treat them with respect, and try to build personal relationships with them.
As a final note, if you are currently unemployed, you could try out this business. It doesn't require much capital to start and it's very easy to manage, if you know what you are doing.

In the city of Anshan, a war memorial located in Lieshishan Park commemorates the conquest of the city by the People Liberation's Army in 1948. It was from this city that the incredible expansion of China's steel industry began. Indeed, North-Eastern region production was the first to be increased -thanks to the Soviet Union's help as well. This moment of growth led total output to rise to 1.349 million tons by 1952.
Lately, the Five-Year Plan contributed to boost steel production by roughly 400%. Almost 4 billion Yuan were spent in the successful attempt to expand production. But difficult times were looming.
From 1958, the first year of The Great Leap Forward, to 1968 total output kept increasing but far less remarkably then the previous decade. The reasons for this slackening were related to the failed fulfillment of production targets and the misconduct of development plans.
However, in the early 70s Chinese steel industry recovered and production reached 23.7 million tons. During that time, the terrible Tangshan Earthquake and the political aftermath of Mao's death threatened the production capacity of Chinese steel mills.
New leader Deng Xiaoping decided to adopt a new industrial policy by encouraging modernization and enhancement of already existing plants rather than the creation of new ones. Output quality improved and factories became more efficient, paving the way for the surge in the 2000s. Such adjustments also aimed to solve another problem, namely the import of metal products needed to create cars and machineries.
At the end of the 90s, a large privatization reform was carried out and in this new dimension private-owned smelters thrived. Total output kept increasing, with more than 200 million tons in 2005 and approximately 500 million in 2010. Nowadays China is the largest producer and exporter of steel, accounting for half of the world's capacity.
Today's challenge of China's steel industry is reducing overcapacity. The government aims at reducing production of 150 million tons before 2020. Creating new plants in industrial regions will be more difficult, while the opening of factories is encouraged in less polluted areas. Furthermore, recent eco-friendly policies and the closing of obsolete smelters, mean that prices of steel products will rise, as it happened last year.

text: The video below is of a couple of classic rock singers. If you grew up listening to Christian music or British rock, you will know who one or both are. Larry Norman was one of the "kings" of Christian rock and Cliff the "king" of British rock. Yes, Cliff came before the Beatles and outlasted them in most of the world (although the U.S. only enjoyed a few of his hits). Cliff is still singing and has a soul album coming out soon called "Soulicious." Cliff has drifted a bit spiritually which has disappointed me, but I still love to listen to his great voice at times. Larry went home to be with the Lord some time ago now. I realize that this is not heavy on doctrine or a deep understanding of eschatology, but it's the kind of music I grew up on. I still love it!

ETCDC Highlighted in PBS Video
The East Tennessee Community Design Center has been an advocate for great community design for decades. We're celebrating #communitydesignday by sharing a special PBS video now viewable online. "Good Design: A Half-Century of the Community Design Center" highlights our unique history as an organization founded in the middle of the civil rights and urban renewal movements. You'll hear from founding members Bruce McCarty, Gideon Fryer, and John Walker as well as testimonies from local community members and designers. A special thanks to East Tennessee PBS for this production and to our faithful supporters over the years.
The East Tennessee Community Design Center organizes people, researches ideas, and identifies resources to facilitate positive change in the region.
ETCDC provides architectural, planning, and engineering services to encourage community development efforts. We award grants of service to nonprofit groups and community organizations in East Tennessee for projects that will serve the public at large. Professionals, including pro bono volunteers, offer technical services so that nonprofits and community groups can benefit from their expertise at little or no cost. This helps fill a much-needed gap for those who are seeking grants or funding for a project by providing the conceptual design services that will create the vision, the plan, and the inspiration needed to fuel the process.
Often, we are called upon to help restore, renovate or recommend reuse of an existing structure, park, or neighborhood area, and we also use design to solve social problems, such as how design can reduce crime or neighborhood traffic. We bring together professionals who contribute design and engineering services to solve practical and aesthetic problems and who partner with groups who want to make a community a better place to live and work.
