CoSchedule is a great tool for scheduling and reviewing my social media strategy.
The pricing has gotten more expensive as time goes on, but I understand that there are new features being added frequently (I personally do not need all these features)
Make sure to choose the right pricing level for you as there are several options.
Hoot suite was a little too frustrating to use for our brand management. CoSchedule has much more intuitive scheduling and editing.
Having the ability to set templates for Social sharing is incredible. It means I can continue to promote my content for weeks after it's been published and the Requeue feature means it continues to get exposure for as long as I need it to.
I wish it gave you the ability to add emojis to your social messages
Do it! You will save so much time but it will allow you to maximise the potential of your content
I used to write a blog and then send out a tweet, a facebook post and share it on linkedin. If I remembered I would put it on pinterest, but then it was gone and 90% of our audience never saw it. Coschedule makes it really easy to make sure that doesn't happen. The best part is that I don't have to think about it afterward, I can concentrate my full attention on the next project rather than scattering my thoughts and energy trying to keep plates spinning!
I like the ability to create templates for tasks or for social promotion (for example, the social posts I want to do for every blog post), and then generate and tweak those social messages right within Wordpress as I edit my post. I also like that I can add a post to my Coschedule editorial calendar and it will be created in Wordpress.
I don't love the price tag. As a solopreneur with a new business, using Coschedule was only possible for me through their referral program. Worth it? Yes, but that doesn't mean your business can afford it. There are other options out there that aren't so much to swallow.
I get it. Running a blog business seems to be one monthly or yearly expense after another. But if you're like me, you don't have the time to do everything manually. I have a full-time day job. If I do all the manual work on my site and social media, I won't have any time for the work I love that made me start this business. I won't be able to do the strategic things to make the business grow.
On the other hand, if I leave out the social media strategy, the business won't grow. So I figured that paying $49/month (cheaper if you can pay annually!) is much, much cheaper than hiring a virtual assistant. And, I mentioned CoSchedule's great referral program above! Right now (August 2018), if you write a review post you can get 50% off for a year. You will also get 10% off for each person you refer.
If you think you might be able to use CoSchedule to grow your business, sign up for the free 14-day trial to test it out. To make the best use of your time, I've made a Quick-Start Guide to CoSchedule for Bloggers. You can access it for FREE along with a more detailed review at https://www.realworldbiblestudy.com/delegate-use-coschedule/.
Coschedule allows me to schedule content in advance and be "present" on social media when I wouldn't be able to. I don't have an assistant or a social media manager to take care of this critical part of my business manually. It just isn't an option.
I like the Social Media Management the most, especially Requeue. I can set social messages for each blog post directly in my Wordpress dashboard on the post editing page, including adding them to Requeue groups for later automated use.
In regards to the features I use, there is nothing I dislike.
I have tried other tools similar to Coschedule, but none measure up - there's always some type of functionality missing that I needed or wanted. CoSchedule is light years ahead of the competition. It's worth every penny of the subscription fee and will save you time you didn't know you had. You'll come to wonder how you ever worked without it!
CoSchedule saves me so much time! Not only do I write for my blog, but I also create projects for each post, which gives me very little time to mess with scheduling tons of social media posts. CoSchedule allows me to focus on creating content & promoting my affiliate business. I no longer need to spend hours on social media platforms to stay engaged with my readers. It's a godsend!
Coschedule makes you remain focus on your marketing schemes and campaign by giving you the means to organize all your marketing projects in one centralized location. I can tell categorically that the functions are totally executable with the ease and comfort of the user in place. It has a smooth integration with WordPress, mail chimp, and all other content management resources. Works with your social media such as facebook, twitter, etc
It is not a marketing tool that does disappoint. It is a complete tool with zero dislikes
You are going to get its worth
We get the most of CoSchedule by using it to organise all our marketing scheme projects in a centralised location with perfect ease. Manages our social media pages and contents also.
Browser extension and social media scheduling tool are easy to use and make scheduling content a breeze. Calendar view is really helpful for coordinating content initiatives across the team. Interface is pretty intuitive, but could improve. Google doc integration allows you to collaborate on blog content then port over to Wordpress (but more on that in a second).
When you load blog content to Wordpress, it just dumps the code in one big pile, so if you need to go in and fix anything (say, an image size or alt text) you have to sift through a jumble of code. Would be nice if it could somehow recognize line breaks or indent code for things like bullets.
Content planning and team coordination. We now have a much easier at-a-glance view of our content plans and can easily collaborate, keeping everyone on task.
This platform will allow you to effectively plan, organize, schedule, monitor and analyze your social strategy. Not only is it an aesthetically pleasing platform, the team at CoSchedule are incredibly helpful and friendly - no matter your social emergency. Plus they have master classes, training and free tools to continue building your social media skills.
Sometimes the cost is a little bit shocking, but in comparison to other schedulers, it has way more benefits.
You have lots of social to schedule, need your posts to look consistent, easily find information on what has been posted, looking for analytics, looking for organization? CoSchedule is the right scheduler for you.
The main benefits are:
- Saved time
- Team members can see the schedule without having to log in (share link)
- I am able to schedule social campaigns and individual posts, see analytics, make responses comparatively - all on one platform
- When link previews load to LinkedIn they are not broken (the title of the article shows up)
Data analysis across business allows me to build my business and network whilst maximising my time. The online training academy is brilliant - short videos to support learning of the functionality, again minimising time spent until gains are achieved.
There is nothing I dislike. Often I have found that when software offers video or key support text, the functions or screen shots are of old systems and are not current. This is not the case with CoSchedule.
When you first sign-up for the free trial, give yourself a good eight hours dedicated to trialing the functionality and ensure you do the online training at the beginning! It's worth the time invested at the beginning to make the operations flow thereafter.
Realistic goals with social media, objective data to inform next business goals, and for the first time I am actually enjoying social media - and reaping the rewards
CoSchedule is my favorite marketing tool! I started using it when I was part of a marketing team for a corporation and now that I run my own business, I had to get it for myself. I can streamline all my multitasking and plan out weeks in advance for each client, saving me time each day.
I have so few complaints that I am actually kind of stretching here. I only wish the Solopreneur package came with a few more included social profiles. I have four clients and they all have LinkedIn and Facebook, but two have an Instagram and I of course have my own channels, so instead of eight, maybe ten accounts. It is nice that if it comes down to it, I can add an account a la carte.
Because I am now a party of one, I love that once or twice a week, I can sit down and do all my writing and social planning. This really frees up my valuable time. Also, everything is in one place, giving me a simple bird's eye view of each campaign, ensuring everything runs together.
I like how CoSchedule has taken a content marketing centric approach to building the tool, i.e. using a blog or site as a focal point and then building social media campaigns off it, leading all the way to conversion -- as UTM tags can automatically be assigned. For enterprise users, the relatively recent addition of marketing campaigns is extremely helpful in keeping marketing teams who don't require a lot of ancillary tool integrations, e.g. marketing automation, organized. The Requeue feature is a life saver -- it allows you to analyze your best performing posts and then reschedule them within gaps of time you might have in your social media calendar. Finally, CoSchedule provides a lot of value for the cost.
There are a few quirks in how certain things function, e.g. go to schedule an event and you can't easily span it over several days. Also, while third-party integrations are a focus for content development, e.g. Evernote and Google Docs, some are noticeably absent, e.g. Dropbox.
CoSchedule is a perfect intermediate social media management tool providing a lot of bang for the buck. If blog on Wordpress and coordinate a lot of organic social media, this is the tool for you.
Team and individual productivity. Also I've realized a 600% increase in blog readership and the ability to easily assess the best performing content on social media.
With CoSchedule, I'm able to single-handedly manage an active tech blog and keep all editorial tasks on schedule. It connects directly to my company's WordPress blog for seamless post creation and management. It's also a very agile tool, so I can easily move post publish dates around to accommodate priorities. CoSchedule is a must-have tool for me.
There is not much I don't like! One nit-picky dislike is the overactive auto-save functionality. I often have to type blog post titles in multiple times because it auto-saves in the middle of my typing, cutting off the last portion of the title. Also, if I want to select multiple blog categories for the post, I have to wait for each selection to save before I can select another.
CoSchedule helps the content leg of our marketing team stay organized. We use it mostly for blog management, but it also helps us track event dates and schedule social promotions. Maintaining a quarterly blog calendar is made much easier with an agile, visual tool like CoSchedule. I can use the calendar view to see everything that is planned for a full month or the dashboard view to see post activity and upcoming tasks. I use it daily!
CoSchedule is intuitively designed for people that publish content. It has lean project management and collaboration tools built in which is great for smaller teams focused on sharing content. The calendar itself is robust and extremely useful. It revolves around the publishing dates, and dynamically updates itself when pub dates move eliminating so much of the manual management that other platforms require.
The platform isn't cheap, but the social sharing tools are a huge value ad. Because we can manage content creation and content sharing in one hub, it makes life so much easier than other systems I've used in the past. The ReQueue feature is also extremely helpful to power intelligent resharing to reduce your social management workload even further.
It's more expensive than typical content calendar solutions I've come across. A lot of people build DIY solutions with tools like Trello or Google Calendar which are better than nothing, but nowhere near as streamlined or effective as CoSchedule.
Because of the depth of features, there is a bit of a learning curve but I've found that onboarding CoSchedule with the team has been easier + faster than some of our other tools. There's a really clear workflow and process for shceduling posts and when things change the calendar (and social sharing updates itself dynamically so maintenance time is minimal
I'm running an educational website that's a side project/marketing initiative for our agency. It's not my full time job, and we're always trying to increase our efficiency. Because our time and resources are limited, we need to be focused on creating content, not managing scheduling and social sharing.
Bottom line, CoSchedule allows us to work faster by working smarter.
CoSchedule is really simple. The possibility to create templates you can use to schedule the pubblication of your content on social networks with different dates, titles and images is amazing. This way you can set different images and texts for different social networks that can link back to your post/content. And it has reports for your shares, integrations with other services like bit.ly, Google Docs, Google Calendar and Evernote.
It has a fair pricing model, but it's not cheap. Some parts of the interface are not so friendly.
It has a 14 days trial, before using it is better to be prepared with some content to publish so you can take full advantage of its features. Also, there are several web recordings of tutorials that is good to watch.
CoSchedule website really has a huge amount of documentation to help you create your content and marketing strategy. I strongly recommend to download and read all their publications.
The next step of course is to use the platform: you have all your scheduled publications in one place and if you make use of the "Social Helpers" - templates - you save so much time and effort. And it has a WordPress plugin. On average, for one post, we save 4-6 hours by publishing a month of content for social nets with one click.
Easy scheduling to social accounts and color coded schedule. Plus, the task list to keep me on track for larger projects.
High cost to manage for small blogger with little income. I wish the re-queue feature were included in the plan for the price.
As a blogger who was short on time for social sharing, Coschedule makes my life a bit easier. If you make any income from your blog and want to free up some time, this is the app for you! Simply make it part of your publishing routine to pre-write and schedule social shares right within the post dashboard.
As a blogger, operating on my own, it was difficult to remember to share all my posts to all the social media networks consistently. Coschedule makes a majority of my tasks easy right within my Wordpress dashboard within the post I've just completed writing. Additionally, the coschedule app allows me to see my schedule and know when and where I can post content from other bloggers. Finally, the best time feature automatically chooses a good time, giving me much less to worry about.
The calendar view at a glance is nice for me to see what types of content I have planned in the future without having to look at another platform. Plus, the integration with WordPress makes it easy to move back and forth pretty smoothly.
The upload a doc functionality has not always worked. My team works with Google Docs and often includes images in the docs, which don't transfer into WordPress from CoSchedule very well in our experience. We have to upload the images separately to WordPress anyway so there is no time saved by uploading a doc instead of just copy/pasting the content. When they updated their pricing, they really pushed their social media scheduling feature, but we didn't need that because our company uses a different platform for social media. We were able to de-select that when upgrading our plan but we didn't need all the extra functionality the Team Marketing plan offered.
CoSchedule offers a simple way for our content team to get a high-level picture of what we've recently published and what is going to publish in the future. It saves us time looking in one location as opposed to using multiple tools like a separate calendar, file manager, etc.
CoSchedule makes it easy to schedule posts across all channels simultaneously. The integration seems pretty good, as far as posting and data tracking.
There are some limitations with LinkedIn. For example - when posting a graphic, you have to use a certain size or it is cropped within LinkedIn. This does not happen in Facebook or Twitter. Also, you cannot tag companies/people on LinkedIn from the app. You have to log into your LinkedIn account and edit the post to make any tags. Also, there is a glitch sometimes where the links do not populate in the preview pane.
Overall it is a great tool for social scheduling, especially for Twitter and Facebook. LinkedIn works fine, but there are more limitations - possibly on LinkedIn's end.
CoSchedule saves our team time by having all social managed under one app (for the most part). Posts can be scheduled ahead of time and reliably posted on time.
I love the ease of scheduling and the ReQueue schedule!! Love getting maximum mileage out of my social messages and not having as much to schedule each week on my own.
It seems a bit pricey, but you do get what you pay for. As a soloproneur I wish there was a plan that offered reduced cost for one user. The plan allows for up to 3 I believe but thats just much more than I need right now and I'm sure there allowance for more team members is built into the cost.
Don't hesitate to reach out to the support team for help. Also the training videos available on the site are incredibly helpful!
Scheduling my social media is much easier with CoSchedule. It takes less time and allowing CoSchedule to pick the best time spreads out the messages for me. Love it!
WordPress is much more now than access to develop an easy blog. WordPress now allows users to develop a website that is full of dynamic, intriguing features. With so many widgets to add, don't worry about site traffic not maintaining interest. There's too many options for them to not to stay captivated in what you, the user, may be offering.
One of the features that I would like to see upgraded is the ability to have a little more freedom over the movement, appearance of your background. Seeing how sites are now more than ever becoming more user friendly with interesting flow and movement, I would like to see this aspect added for user to have more creativity.
Allow yourself to be open minded and take advantage of the freedom of personalization that is offered by WordPress.
WordPress allowed me to activate and maintain my site in college that has since grown for those fielding an interest in sports.
Analytic Reports: Social Engagement Analytics Reports can be sent to the team automatically at set monthly intervals. They are also formatted and branded, ready for distribution. This is perfect for the boss you promised you would pull those monthly engagement reports for! I never have time to actually do that and now I don't even have to think about it.
Tracking: CoSchedule works with bit.ly (link shortener) and Google Analytics to add tracking information to links automatically. It is wonderful not using that second step to add a tracking link to a post.
Calendar View: You can see the entire month of social posts and drag and drop(!) to reschedule posts. Also, just look at the pretty colors!
Organization: You can add tags and labels to every social post. This allows you to easily find every "Spotlight post", etc. This is great for me as we do SO much at our company it can be hard to pull every post I did on a particular event or subject.
Social Campaigns: Coschedule allows you to schedule "campaigns." Not only can you visibly see every post on the calendar included in this campaign, you can also easily schedule related posts to the campaign daily (1 day after start, 3 days after start). If you drag and drop the start of the campaign, the whole calendar will shift.
WordPress/ Podcast Integration: I mentioned this above, but it's worth it to mention it a second time! You can also plan upcoming blog posts and schedule social media to support the blog post – even before it's live. The same goes for podcast episodes as well.
Note: In order to integrate CoSchedule and Wordpress you do have to upgrade your Wordpress account to allow for plugins.
Post Scheduler: The post scheduler is built on the idea of sharing links – such as ticketing links. It will automatically pull the link into each social post you schedule for a certain "campaign" (i.e. Until the Lions). The software also shows you a visual of what it will actually look like for all platforms – including Instagram!
Note: CoSchedule doesn't post to Instagram for you. It just sends you a notification when it is time to post. Then it will save the photo to your camera roll and the text description to your page.
If you don't need super robust social media analytics, this is a wonderful platform for organizing everything social media, emails, blog articles, etc.
It has saved me over 2 hours a day in social media scheduling!
My team uses CoSchedule for content and task management, social posting, and content planning. Since I started using it about four months ago, there have been a couple of bugs here and there, but customer service is honest and VERY speedy in fixing issues! I can't imagine a world without CoSchedule.
There have been bugs here and there - but the team is always responsive to our product suggestions and is actually working on a fix to the Zapier integration for us as we speak.
There's a tiny bit of a learning curve, but that's with any software.
I love that I can manage both content and tasks, and that making a blog post, planning webinars and sending out social messages is in one spot! Makes it much easier to switch gears between to-do's every day.
I love the fact that I can manage initiatives on one platform. Prior to CoSchedule, I would not finish any campaign marketing for an initiative. Now, I do and I can set realistic metrics for improvement not only from a client perspective but from a business efficiency and profitability standpoint. I feel like a real business now.
CoSchedule is a little glitchy and I have lost some work. However; even with the minor mishaps I've experienced, the time saved overall makes it worth it. Besides, only once they have not been able to recover my work. The customer service experience is EXCELLENT. The truly treat you like gold.
I highly recommend CoSchedule.
The business problems CoSchedule have solved include: an increased ROI (I get my campaigns out); better tracking (who has time to really check analytics on different platforms); better response to my blogs and social media campaign (the headline analyzer is kickass), and help I can afford (they don't charge an arm and leg to help you get the product. Lastly, I am a better marketer for my business and clients.
- Ability to see all content projects aligned to a common calendar, or filter for content type, date, task owner, or keyword.
- Ability to build task templates to automatically assign tasks to different people at content item creation
- Friendly and helpful sales, customer success, and support staff
- Content type and task templates are disassociated from each other. If I create a custom content type, I have to create a separate task template and hope that our staff uses the correct template when creating a content item of that type.
Before you sign on, consider developing your step-by-step content creation process. One of the first things you'll want to do is to build task templates that outline every creation, editing, and approval step, down to the individual assigned to each of those tasks. If you build those out offline, you can easily enter them online once you sign up.
Problem to solve was managing the process of creating content at scale. We need to be able to manage multiple ongoing content development projects with unique cadences each--weekly blog posts, monthly newsletters, quarterly white-papers, ad-hoc email campaigns, etc. CoSchedule enables us to manage all of these, with visibility on a combined calendar, or on a standalone bases.
I like how you can create a social template to promote a specific blog post, webinar, press release, etc. and if you decide the template would work well for a future social campaign you can duplicate the template by clicking "save queue". The ability to associate different images and messages while promoting one link is key. This allows you to schedule out as many posts as you would like without having the same message duplicated over and over. I haven't found a good way to do this using other platforms. I've been using the tool for a little over two months and have found it fun and easy to use for the most part.
My only compliant is that with the basic package you do not have access to phone call based support. Being a new user of the tool, I had a few quick questions that would have been solved much faster over the phone. However, their email support team is efficient. Also, the price increase per month is dramatic if you want to see advanced metrics.
It is an inexpensive solution that is worth every penny! I would recommend attending their webinars and reading their content to ensure you are taking advantage of all of the features. It seems a bit complicated at first, but once you create a few good templates it is huge time saver.
CoSchedule saves me a ton of time, which is important since social is just one element of my responsibilities. Their quality content and webinars also helps inspire new ideas to continually increase our social media impressions and engagements.
The best thing I love about CoSchedule is the calendar view. Unlike most similar tools, I can see all my scheduled posts at a glance for the MONTH!!! I can also easily go to any day of the month and schedule posts that way. It's the thing that really won me over.
The only thing I truly dislike about CoSchedule is the pricing. It's a bit expensive, especially for small businesses and blogs that don't have much income. I do wish there was a FOREVER free plan with limitations. The only reason I'm able to use CoSchedule is because my boss pays for the service.
If you've tried other scheduling services and they just didn't do "it" for you, CoSchedule may be just what you're looking for. If being able to see everything at a glance and the ease of scheduling content by the day is enticing to you, you'll love this service.
If you're a WordPress user, CoSchedule offers seamless integration into your blog/site so that you can schedule posts from the post editor. This allows you to do everything from your blog/site without going to the CoSchedule site.
CoSchedule also offers impeccable organization that you won't find anywhere else. It's just much easier to see and manage all of your content with as little clicks as possible.
They also offer analytics where you can see how often a post is shared on the top social sites. This is a great way to see your most popular content and the less popular, which you can then re-share to gain more interest.
The convenient ability to share old content is also invaluable. This is a great way to keep people coming back to your site. Often, content is viewed once and never touched again. With this feature, you can remind readers of that old but still useful content.
I am Marketing Director for an Environmental and First Responder equipment and safety gear supply company. This position is new to me as well as the company itself. They started out as a mom and pop kind of business and have grown exponentially over the past 12 years. Since they have grown so quickly the marketing side of the company has more so been word of mouth, until they hired me. We have had a hard time keeping track of our interoffice communications as well as projects. I have also had a hard time trying to find a marketing calendar that allows me to plan the entire year in one place. I did some research. FINALLY. I found CoSchedule which has been a life saver. We have already benefited from the amazing ways this calendar works. I can upload documents, keep track of current projects, set tasks for myself as well as our team, AND keep track our our social media data analytics. The tips and "best time" to post with the social media campaigns have helped with the guess work of when to post and how to post. I am working kind of a duel role right now with marketing and sales both so I have found with the many ways to keep my marketing and projects in order it has alleviated a lot of the stress of juggling both. I just add in what I need, schedule, and BOOM. I have emails, posts, and newsletters, going out with so little effort, but HUGE reward. For an overview visit https://vimeo.com/166544659
I have no complaints. CoSchedule is working for myself as well as our team.

Project management, interoffice communication, organization
I like that I can track all my blog posts and social campaigns in one place. All scheduling, social sharing, and even social metrics, all in one place. The Chrome browser extension is also quite helpful for me for the times when I need to curate content instead of just publishing my company's own content.
I absolutely LOVE the integration with the headline analyzer. It's really great to test out different variations of a headline as I'm building the piece of content.
I dislike that I don't have the time I need to dig into using CoSchedule to its fullest extent. I know the software can do a lot more than I'm currently using. :)
The other piece that's not my favorite is the interface, which has recently gone through an overhaul and is now much better than it used to be. The social and image helpers are really awesome, but do get cumbersome (from scrolling) for when I have many different text and image helpers set up in the same social campaign.
The only other piece that I dislike is not being able to insert a text helper at the cursor point of my entry. It will only show up at the end of my post.
CoSchedule acts as my editorial calendar as well as my social sharing solution. It helps keep me organized and on track with managing a multi-category blog as well as the social sharing for each post.
Good looking site with good functionality. I like the preview mode for each social media campaign and how you can tag names/companies easily and it translates those tags for each platform.
Inability to edit the twitter post on my mobile app. Won't post to instagram because of instragram restrictions, but then just says all my instagram posts are unpublished. Takes a couple tries to figure it all out - the 'add message' button is not intuitive.
You can't post to instagram from this platform. App is good.
We are able to cross post on multiple platforms with one simple tool. the content calendar is very clear and we can have multiple projects calendars on the site. We are solving our problem of not having enough marketing and content and social media campaigns - this cuts the time it takes to post things and keeps our calendar orderly.
I love being able to set everything up in one day. From blog posts to social content, scheduling everything in one day for the month is wonderful. I also love the headline analyzer and social re-posting option has been a great addition.
The app. It just feels clunky. Basically I can check up on things on it, but if I find something I want to share, there's no option on the app to do that.
Also the lack of full integration with Instagram is a problem. The notification is nice, but it's just one more thing for me to do. And since I market for multiple companies, I don't always have time to stop in the moment and post right then. It's just a bummer to miss that optimal window to post. If Coschedule could set up automatic posting to Instagram like it does with other mediums, I think it'd be perfect!
Yes! I've told several other people about it, business and even churches.
It's just a lifesaver and really anyone can use it!
Consistent posting and analytics.
Before Coschedule It was easy to fall behind on social posts, and blog posts for the companies I market for. Since using Coschedule I've been able to plan everything out in a day. Get everything scheduled at the beginning of the month and then get a jump start on the next project.
Also having more comprehensive analytics of our shared content has been really helpful.
I love not only being able to see all of the accounts I manage within the Coschedule platform, but also being able to select a single or multiple account, to display by a specific label, and more. It is very easy to use.
I wish the price wasn't so much, however, I do think there is a lot of room for growth. I wish that I could look out past 6 weeks on a full screen, that I could search through Social Media Posts, and a few smaller things.
If you are using ALL of their features it is worth the price. If you aren't, there are other options I would look into.
I can work with the rest of my team at one time. I also can easily go back to find a post from a specific day.
The calendar feature is amazing from a scheduling perspective. It makes it easy to build out posts for a month and to be able to see it visually laid out.
Sometimes the app has been a little finicky in posting and fixing scheduling changes. There is definitely room for improvement.
If you feel you don't have time to manage social media, this is the tool for you. It's easy to manage, and even does the posting for you. It's like having another team member.
We are a small team of two. This gives the power of a large team and an easy way to manage our social posting, even when we have other stuff going on.
I love a few key elements - I love the "requeue" option". If you know it's good content, selecting requeue will automatically have CoSchedule post it again at a moment when you need content posted. Also, I love the ability to label items will a color - in my work, I can quickly scan through the week and visually see what kinds of content / CTAs we are sharing. I also love the mix of scheduling and also assigning tasks - its' kind of like a mix of Sprout Social or Hootsuite and Basecamp!
It would be nice if there were a feed where I could see all of my recent activity, i.e. a feed of all comments I've made, tasks I've crossed off, which to my knowledge, there isn't.
This is a great, multi-faceted tool that is exactly what we were looking for. Scheduling capabilties, work with freelancers easily, coordinate tasks, and post directly to Wordpress after that. We love this tool!
Scheduling out consistent content and also working with freelancers to get content posted.
I like how easy it is to navigate through the blog posts and scheduling which ones to share and which days are free. Plus, we can link multiple social media accounts and schedule all at once. Convenient!
Technically, it's just how it acts up on Wordpress. I'm now accessing it directly on their website.
Link all your social media accounts (as needed) and maximize CoSchedule's services
Sharing blog posts across all our social media platforms has never been this easy with CoSchedule. We can schedule days/weeks/months ahead without being confused as the CoSchedule's calendar is easy to track.
The tool helps centralize and visualize all our efforts in one place. The tool is also constantly being improved.
Permissions doesn't work in a fashion we would utilize it.
The decision to purchase was reluctantly approved by shareholders, but by the time implementation was complete, the same shareholders were all-in and completely sold on the product.
Sharing all of our marketing efforts via read only calendars with stakeholders.
I love the interface. It's easy to use and discover on your own, so getting started is as simple as poking around and finding things. Then you can dive into the documentation and really understand how powerful the tool is.
There are some additional customization features I'd like to see around categories and calendar integrations, but for the most part, I don't dislike anything about this. It's greatly simplified my life.
We have a growing marketing team and needed to keep things organized as we planned out different content. Everyone is able to know what they're supposed to be doing to keep the engine running.
I love that I can create a campaign and integrate and schedule all of the blogposts, social posts (no matter the network), and see the analytics/engagement for each.
the number of times I have to re-authorize social channels.
It's cheaper than Buffer and much more powerful.
I am a one-man-band for our marketing; CoSchedule allows me to do more with much less time.
Timesaving with social media posts. The ability to keep popular post on the calendar without manual rescheduling is a huge bonus!!
Price is a bit steep, but I find the benefits worth working hard to make sure I can keep using Co-Schedule.
Keeping up with social media, it helps me organize my editorial calendar and keep up with client needs.
Flexible platform, great analytics, allows for social scheduling and connects to our website. Streamlines our workflows and improved organization instantly.
Calendar view takes a bit to get used to.
Great for our small team to get more from our time. It feels like we hired another person with the productivity improvements we have seen in such a short time.
When implementing, think about tags and colour coding systems that will allow you to easily take advantage of the in-suite analytics tools. We are still trying to get this side of the implementation up and running so we can have better reporting to management.
Organization, workflow management, task assignments, project approvals, analytics, social media management.
What I like most about CoSchedule is the ability it gives me to visually plan out my editorial calendar and schedule multiple promotional messages in a super-streamlined way.
I really think some of the UI is clunky and the continual price increases has made me (a long-time user) feel like I'm being punished for supporting the company in the "old days" and being forced to upgrade to higher pricing plans to keep getting new features. I also wish it would integrate with other 3rd party tools (like Todoist).
If you're not currently using a visual editorial content calendar, try CoSchedule right away.
Editorial planing and scheduling. The benefits are being able to see our marketing content map and save time scheduling promotion of that content.
I like the ability to schedule social campaigns out across multiple accounts/channels for a period of weeks or even months. It allows me to plan out social sharing well in advance, since social is just one of my job responsibilities and I can't spend all my time on it during the average day. I also like the feature that draws images from links I input, although it can be a bit spotty on Twitter sometimes. My team has 4 user accounts, and each of us is able to devote one account to each of our product groupings, which isn't a feature we had when we used to have Hootsuite. Labelling and assigning campaigns to certain users is extremely helpful in parsing out our workloads. I love the calendar view, too!
The biggest disadvantage is the inability to view and respond to interactions on any of the platforms. Social isn't my primary responsibility and we don't have a full-time social media manager, so I don't always have time to check each of our accounts manually and make sure we're responding to interactions promptly. The analytics are also not great – I don't believe it can even track Twitter, which is where most of our engagement comes from, so I find myself having to go through the Twitter analytics page instead when we review our social performance every month.
Works really well for social teams that need to schedule things out in advance or group posts together into campaigns.
We've been able to almost completely automate our social posting, which has allowed us to focus more on the more crucial components of our jobs. I'd say I've personally regained at least 3-4 hours every week just by using CoSchedule.

Everton boss Martinez believes the FA's plans will have maximum benefit for English players.
Roberto Martinez has backed the Football Association's controversial proposal to accommodate Premier League 'B' teams within the Football League.
FA chairman Greg Dyke yesterday unveiled a radical four-point plan that included restrictions on non-European Union players outside of the Premier League and limiting the number of non-homegrown players within top flight squads in a bid to improve the current lack of emerging talent.
But the proposal to introduce a League Three consisting of Premier League 'B' sides and Conference outfits in time for the 2016-17 campaign has generated controversy, particularly as second string sides could be promoted as high as League One under the planned legislation.
Football League advocates claiming that the plans will devalue both the structure and standard throughout the footballing pyramid, but Everton manager Martinez feels that the idea of 'B' teams, long established in his native Spain, can only benefit English football as a whole.
"I know there is going to be a lot of debate and it's going to be a lot of talking about it but I think it's very, very positive," he told his pre-match press conference.
"I think, first and foremost, we need to be aware that there is a big problem in the development of our youngsters, that age group from 18 to 22-23. We haven't got enough competitive football and that's a reality. I think the Premier League have been working really hard at it to find a solution.
"Now the FA have come up with something I think is very exciting. I know that 'B' sides is something that works if you work at it properly. I know there are other proposals, not just the 'B' teams, but I would be in favour of having 'B' teams and we would all get the benefits.
"I think the young English players would get the benefits - not straight away because you have to allow relegation and promotion to take effect and after a few years you would see that's a real benefit.
"But that's just a starting point and I'm sure there's going to be a lot of aspects that they need to be tweaked and in my eyes the possibility of playing Championship football should be contemplated and even increasing the age group.
"I don't think it should [just] be the age of 21. Sometimes you get late developers and players that get injuries and we should consider that.
"But the top and bottom, it's very positive that the FA and the Premier League have got a lot of work now and that's going to improve our game without a doubt."

A Simple Juice Recipe to Help You with Snoring
Snoring is not restricted to men or women and it's common for people of all ages. However, it is mostly annoying not to the person who snores but to one who shares the bed with him or her. According to the sleep studies, snoring is a result of obstruction in nasal passage but it can also be caused due to person's diet. Snorers should focus on some dietary changes, like having lemon before going to bed can greatly influence your snoring. Today I am sharing with you a great juicing solution that help reduce the mucus build up and help you and your partner to sleep better.
Read Also: Do You Always Wake Up Feeling Tired And Irritable?
Lemon Juice Recipe for Snoring
Either you can buy fresh lemon juice from the store or squeeze one lemon into a glass of water. Add 2-3 teaspoons of honey and mix together. Honey works as a decongestant and a natural antiseptic. Drink this juicing solution right before going to bed. You can also substitute honey with thyme which is also helpful in reducing mucus build up in your air passage and gives you relief from your snoring problem. Repeat the drink every night or alternate nights before bed while the snoring persists.
Juicing for Better Health
More and more people are adopting juicing habits to benefit their health. It is widely known that juicing is a more convenient way to provide nutrients of fruits and vegetables to our body. As they are easier to digest and they are not cooked, so their nutritional qualities remain intact. It can also be a tasty and efficient way to include those fruits and vegetables that you don't like to eat in their more traditional form.
Vegetable Juices Are Suggested for Some Health Conditions
Some people include more fruits than vegetables, but care is essential, especially if you suffer from high blood pressure, diabetes or have a server cholesterol problem. These health conditions require you to take further advice and intake more of vegetable juices. Lemons and limes are an exception that can also be included as they do not contain fructose or natural fruit sugar, which is, when taken in large quantities can cause problem with those ailments. They also cover up the bitter taste of some green leafy vegetables that are considered the soul of some juice recipes.
It is no more a secret that organic fruits and vegetables are advantageous to health. Make sure that you have given them a place in your daily diet.
Some Dietary Recommendations for Snorers
If you snore or it's your partner whose loud snoring interrupt your sleep, there are several dietary changes you can apply that will help you lesson or eliminate the problem. Many food items are known to elevate regularity and intensity of snoring. Try to avoid such foods in the evening. A few of them are: fried foods, dairy products, heavy floury foods, processed foods and excessive alcohol. It is not difficult to avoid these foods and including more nutritious juices in your regular diet. These simple dietary changes should help you with your snoring problem. You will find less congestion in the airway and initially the volume of snoring will surely decrease.

From the American Prospect:
The Myth of 'Faulty Intelligence'
The Iraq War, both how it began and how it proceeded, is now an active topic in the 2016 presidential campaign, which I think is a highly salutary development. But it does mean that we need to be on guard for the kind of distortions, misleading statements, and outright lies that characterized this debate from its very start in 2002. As you've heard by now, the Republican Party is currently divided over whether, knowing what we know now, we should ever have launched the war. Most of the Republican presidential candidates are (to my surprise, I'll admit), saying the answer is of course not, while Jeb Bush is saying that he really doesn't want to say, because doing so would be a "disservice" to the troops (which would only be true if he also thinks the answer is no).
One thing they all agree on, though, is that for better or worse the whole thing happened because of "faulty intelligence." If only America's intelligence agencies hadn't screwed up so badly, then everyone wouldn't have been convinced of what a terrifying threat Iraq was to America, and the whole thing would never have happened. Jeb Bush himself said that one of the most important lessons to take from the war is, "If you're going to go to war, make sure that you have the best intelligence possible and the intelligence broke down." But the intelligence didn't "break down."
You can't understand the decisions that led to the Iraq War without grasping just how incredibly politicized the intelligence process had become in the months before the war.
More here.
I've been, once again, debating climate change with an old pal from high school who, like many of my old pals, grew up to be a dogmatic conservative. As with most of his fellow Conservative Tribesmen, my old pal absolutely dismisses pretty much ALL the science on global warming, and instead offers opinions from the few remaining crackpot scientists, virtually all of them on the take with Big Oil by now, who continue to be skeptical on the issue.
Tell him that the Earth is warming up due to human activity and it will result in catastrophe for the human race and he tells me I'm wrong on the science. Point out that virtually all climatologists are saying so these days, and he gives me some essay from the National Review telling me that's not the case. Give him a list of all the respected scientific organizations around the globe making statements in support of the science on global warming, including our own NASA, including, even, the Pentagon, and he doesn't respond.
This is actually fairly typical of modern conservatives. Confronted with damning facts, they double down on their preferred, fact-free conservative reality. This is a massive psychological game they're playing, mostly with themselves, with their own minds, but it affects all of humanity in very likely disastrous ways.
That is, today's conservatives, when they lose utterly on the facts, have responded with self-imposed delusion for themselves, and then push that delusion on everybody else. But it's not just global warming where we see this dynamic in play. For the last fifteen years, at least, they've been doing this with any and all issues where they have lost on the facts. Case in point, the "faulty intelligence" on Iraq's WMD back in 2002 and 2003.
There was no "faulty intelligence." All our intelligence agencies KNEW Iraq had no WMD, knew they had no ties to Al-Qaeda, etc. But the Bush administration "knew" Iraq did. When successfully challenged on the facts, when these conservatives lost, on the facts, they doubled down on their fantasy version of reality, and demanded "intelligence" that would suit their needs.
And they got it.
I mean, not really, not real intelligence. But they did get some little tidbits, divorced from context, unfiltered by intelligence analysts, you know, so-called "raw intelligence," that allowed them to assemble a case for going to war. A bad case based on bullshit and manipulation of the facts they actually had, but a case which they could present to the nation and the world.
I like to call what they did the lawyer approach. That is, the Bush administration had a preordained conclusion they wanted to "prove," so they assembled some ideas and facts in order to "prove" it. Contrast this with the scientific approach, which starts without a conclusion at all, but ultimately comes up with one based on the actual facts observed.
Don't get me wrong. The lawyer approach is absolutely necessary in the courts. We need two sides duking it out like that if we're going to call it a fair process for the determination of guilt or innocence by a jury of people who weren't witnesses to the crime. But the nation is not a court. And going to war, or fighting global warming, all these things must absolutely be guided by facts because the consequences of allowing your fantasies to guide decisions about war or the environment can kill millions. That is, it's like driving with a blindfold.
But this is where we are right now as a nation. We have one of the two major parties trapped into horrid policy positions because they can't deal with losing. We have one of the two major parties wallowing in fantasy and calling it reality.
The Founding Fathers never envisioned this. They couldn't. This is something entirely new. This is something coming out of this current era of the dominant electronic image. And unless we can get a handle on it, unless we can purge this sick, fucked up blight on our public discourse, we're totally doomed.

[KGB] IFA3LITE Capture & Hold Server - Franz Kaiser Missions
The good old times!
Thanks to the IFA3LITE mod, players now can play Iron Front on ArmA 3 for free, without the requierment of the original Iron Front game.
Most Servers are running the Wasteland, or KotH game mode. We wanted to bring back the old Capture & Hold mission from the old Iron Front days, so we contacted the FK Missionbuilder Maddock, who gave us the permission to port the missions to IFA3.
We are now running different versions of Capture & Hold missions.
You can find more information here:
Capture and Hold
Your side gets one point per minute for each flag that exceeds half of the total number of flags (might be different in some missions).
You can capture an enemy flag by going inside its zone and having a majority (1.5 times) presence there for 2 minutes.
The flags can be captured only in predefined sequence.
The currently capturable flags are marked with black circle on the map. The side with the most points in the end wins.
Depending on the mission parameters, you can transfer to flags controlled by your side through HQ tent.
All vehicles respawn after 3 minutes for destroyed vehicles.
The number of times a vehicle can respawn is:
30x for troops transport vehicles
10x for planes
3x for all others
HQ areas are protected by no-go zones that are fatal to trespassers on land.
The edge of the map is also off-limits.There are ammo boxes in the base and somes others located on the battlefield.
A vehicle is considered abandoned if there's no player inside for more than 3 minutes for most of vehicles,
except 1 hour fo support vehicle at base (ammo truck, repair truck, med truck, fuel truck) and pak at base (10 mns).
You may not to use enemy's vehicles. You can destroy enemy vehicles through the menu entry if the vehicle is abandon by enemy for more than 1.5 minutes.
There's transfer tent in some missions. You can use it to transfer to different predefined locations. For example, from a main base to an airfield.
Good luck and have fun!
Mods: You need the IFA3LITE Mod of course ArmA 3.

When I think about the events of that day…really think about them, it hurts my heart.
I wanted to link to a post a wrote a few years ago about the incredibly moving Pentagon Memorial in Washington DC.
I don't think this memorial gets much "press" and it should.
Never forget.

UPDATE!: Reebok flacks reassure us that "Framed" is full speed ahead. And, what's more, it's now available on Yahoo!Sports and behind-the-scenes footage has been, er, Flickr'd. Congrats! Now, what about that whole "Your Move" campaign?
For those new readers who walked into this convo like a child wandering into the middle of a movie ("You're out of your element Donny!"), check the rhymes below. Note: There won't be any more Big Lebowski references from here on out, for better or for worse...
Been around the world and I, I, I... I can't find my
Forgive the indulgence of a song we've had stuck in our heads this morning (sometimes shower song sessions can drag into the work world, even for business-minded journos like us!), but it kinda, sorta ties into Reebok's new Freestyle World Tour launch that kicks off Feb. 21. Once again, it's a puzzler. But first, the deets.
Again going after the women's market, Reebok is taking a Nylon-style tour de monde with a new collection of apparel and footwear that will incorporate the particular modes of fashion capitals including Tokyo, Paris, New Delhi (huh?), Madrid, London and New York. Starting tomorrow, the first style, a send up of Tokyo street style with inspiration taken from the city's subway map hits stores. Future releases for each city will roll out as follows:
March 2008—Freestyle Paris, which references the "Can Can" in red, pink and black
May 2008— Freestyle New Delhi, featuring embossed satin and Bollywood-style vibrant color patterns
July 2008—Freestyle Madrid, which references flamenco dancers
Setpember 2008—Freestyle London, featuring an embroidered raven on the heel
November 2008—Freestyle New York, which references our city's unmistakable taxi cabs
All shoes will retail for $85, and the apparel collections that accompany them, which include hoodies, tees, and track jackets, will retail for $28-$75.
The global ad campaign, for which spend was not revealed, will include print, in-store and digital efforts. Somehow "global" just doesn't ring right without the "TV spots" tag, but hey, we're traditionalists. Reebok spent $27.5 million on measured media advertising in 2006, and for the first 11 months of 2007, has spent $16.6 million. Below is a list of the pitch women the brand has signed for the campaign. Full disclosure: We had to look them all up too, so feel free to click the names if you're unfamiliar!
Tokyo—Ai Yasuda Madrid—Bimba Bose
Paris—Yelle London—Nikki Beatnik
New Delhi—Sagarika Ghatge New York—Sheetal Sheth (above, in a spot for the NYC collection)
Since none of the girls here are names that we've heard of—and we'd like to think we're pretty up on things—the campaign is a bit of a puzzler unless they're going for super underground authenticity appeal. But isn't that the kind of marketing that a big brand like Reebok should avoid? Shouldn't Reebok be looking for bigger sales, to grab a larger share of the market and turn around their banking books?
What happened to Scarlett Johannson? And what about that IFC film series, "Framed," that they launched not too long ago.
And what about the "Your Move" campaign we heard about back in September, when CMO Uli Becker (a straight-talking Adidas alum), told us the following:
"We need our marketing to appreciate where the consumer comes from and make them king of the whole thing as well," Uli Becker, head of global marketing, explained of the brand's "Your Move" campaign. "It brings the message into one campaign context. Whether we're talking about running or women, we're playing into one equity image of the brand with that single slogan."
For a brand that said it was going to focus on a single, streamlined marketing approach, it doesn't seem to be delivering. "Framed", the "Kool-Aid" collection and, now, the Freestyle World Tour seem diametrically opposed to Becker's statement about a unified message. In fact, it seems like the same kind of mixed messaging that he said, at the time, had been detrimental to Reebok in the past.
Speaking of "Your Move" campaign, why haven't we seen it anywhere yet? Has "Your Move" moved on? Trust that we're on the hunt to find some answers here.

|Compassion Games International offers fun and creative ways to ignite and catalyze compassionate action in communities around the world. The Games amplify what is already working and inspires new ways to care for ourselves, each other, and the Earth. In the Compassion Games, competition becomes co-opetition as we challenge one another to strive together to make our planet a better place to live.
Communities are using the Compassion Games to ignite engagement through competitive altruism, by strengthening and bringing out what's already present and working,by creating an engaging environment for reporting and reflecting, and by using the point system as a framework for measuring and building collective capacity. Compassion Games make our communities safer, kinder, more just and better places to live.
Since 2012, players of the Compassion Games have served over 1 million people in 34 countries by more than 200,000 volunteer players. The Games have been played between cities, businesses, community groups, faith and interfaith organizations, schools, youth groups, families, prisons and others. Participating teams and individuals in the Compassion Games perform acts of service and kindness, reporting on the number of volunteers, hours of service, money raised for local causes, and the number of people served, providing measurable results that have been improved upon, year after year.
In 2015,Compassion Games hosted four coopetitions including the Annual Global Compassion Games, Back to School Games, World Interfaith Harmony Week and Serve the Earth Week - Love this Place! They developed new partnerships with Service for Peace and the Corporation for National and Community Service (U.S. organizers of 9/11 Day and MLK Day). They participated at the Parliament of World Religions where over 300 people played "Pass the Compassion Torch". In the annual Compassion Games alone, 533,152 people were directly served by over 25,000 volunteers in 200 teams. You can read the 2015 Annual Games Summary of Results and Highlights.
Momentum and participation is building internationally for The Giving Games: Youth and Schools Play it Forward starting on December 1-11. We are partnering with GivingTuesday from the 92nd Street Y, Play for Peace and Penpal Schools. There are teams from all over the globe including Kenya, South Korea, Australia, Norway, UK, Mexico, Guatemala, and North America. In 2016, we will be teaming up again with Service for Peace to focus on ending hunger, homelessness and serving the needs of veterans during the MLK: Living Beloved Community Weekend Coopetition.
Compassion Games International (CGI) is building relationships and working to expand involvement by professional sports teams, companies, animal shelters and even talk-show hosts. CGI continues to update the website to be more user friendly as well as enhancing our support for team organizers.
Stories from Compassion Games in Action: Communities have reported inspiring outcomes from playing the Compassion Games: Author Lia Mandelbaum wrote about the Compassion Games being played in a prison in California. Inspired by the outcomes at the prison she wrote her Masters thesis on the Compassion Games. She then brought The Games to a High School in Pico-Union section of Los Angeles known for its high level of gang activity. Read about the remarkable results.
Metro Detroit used the Games to identify many of the places in Detroit that they cherish and love. The goal was to heighten appreciation of their physical environment, their sense of social cohesion, and their experience of safety and peace within their neighborhoods as a regenerative response to racial violence. Read the "Love the Hell Out of Metro Detroit" story here.
In the 2015 Annual Games, community organizer Charles Barker and his team Compassionate Richardson-Fort Worth in Texas - which included over 200 volunteers from 15 non-profits and 15 houses of worship - packed over 20,000 meals in just one day to feed local children in need. When Chick-fil-A Foundation caught word of their astonishing acts of compassion, they contributed an additional 250,000 meals and 7 high schools were added to the coalition.

Exporting and Firm Performance: Evidence from a Randomised Trial
published by
on Mon, 29/09/2014 - 10:40
Monday, 29 September, 2014
Atkin, Khandelwal and Osman (2017) conduct in this paper, published in the Quarterly Journal of Economics, a randomized experiment that generates exogenous variation in the access to foreign markets for rug producers in Egypt. Combined with detailed survey data, the authors causally identify the impact of exporting on firm performance. Treatment firms report 16–26% higher profits and exhibit large improvements in quality alongside reductions in output per hour relative to control firms. These findings do not simply reflect firms being offered higher margins to manufacture high-quality products that take longer to produce. Instead, the research finds evidence of learning-by-exporting whereby exporting improves technical efficiency. First, treatment firms have higher productivity and quality after controlling for rug specifications. Second,when asked to produce an identical domestic rug using the same inputs and same capital equipment, treatment firms produce higher quality rugs despite no difference in production time. Third, treatment firms exhibit learning curves overtime. Finally, the authors document knowledge transfers with quality increasing most along the specific dimensions that the knowledge pertained to.

Why Katie's Bumpers Are Great!
- Katie's Bumpers were designed with both humans and dogs in mind.
- Katie's Bumpers are fun and cool and unique.
- Katie's Bumpers are safe for everyone. All of the designs on the bumpers are molded into the non-toxic vinyl as part of the manufacturing process. It is not painted on and therefore will not come off in your dog's mouth.
- Whether you are a serious dog trainer doing land or water work or you have a dog that loves to fetch, Katie's Bumpers are great.
- They are easy for you and your dog to see in just about any setting or weather condition.
- They have just the right amount of weight for a good toss.
- When they roll on the ground or on the water, everyone can find them.
- We have tested them in pools, in the ocean, lakes and reservoirs and every dog has gotten their new patterned bumper.
- They are easy to wash. You can throw them in the sink and use a little soap and water to get the day's dirt off, or throw them in the dishwasher.
Unusual Uses For Katie's Bumpers
- I just spoke with a woman who is getting her PhD in Environmental Ecology. She is training her 2 Dutch Shepards to find scat in the wild. In other words, her dogs will be on permanent poop patrol in the wild so they can do research on wild animal behavior. She is getting a Super Sqwuggie and a Big Tug.
- We supply a few police departments and police canine training centers with "drug sqwugs". These are squeakerless sqwuggies with Velcro bottoms. The drug and bomb dogs and their trainers are able to put simulated drugs and bomb "stuff" in the toys. They are extremely versatile for the handlers.
- For years, Search and Rescue groups have special ordered various configurations of sqwuggies and heave hose for land and water rescue work. We work with different teams to build custom products to help them improve their training.
- Water rescue dogs, such as newfoundlands and portueguese water dogs, have been using Katie's Bumpers since the day we started making our toys. Actually, Katie's Bumpers were designed for Newfie water rescue tests. They have become staples in all of the water kits and meet specifications for both breed water tests.
- Dock Dogs: Many people competing in Dock Dogs are using Katie's Bumpers! They throw well, are easy to see and make a great target for the dogs in the pool and on open water. See Murphy's picture in the Photo Gallery doing a big long jump with his red bumper! Murphy and Cindy are sponsored by Katies Bumpers.
- Canine Rehab Centers: We are fortunate enough to have a fantastic canine Rehab center, Canine Rehabiltation and Conditioning Group, in the Denver area. They have a great indoor pool and wonderful facilities to help dogs heal. CRCG's favorite pool toy are Katie's Bumpers.
- Doggie Day Care: We have a great Doggie Day Care Program. They can buy "cosmetically imperfect" seconds for their day care. With the kind of wear and tear dog toys get, we know that a good game of tug with any of the fire hose toys will last a good long time.

Surrey Electrical & Fire Safety Initiative
The Surrey Electrical and Fire Safety Initiative (EFSI) is one of the City of Surrey's key responses to eradicating illegal marijuana grow operations in Surrey. The EFSI is led by Surrey Fire Services and includes a team of City staff representatives.
The EFSI assisted greatly in the 81% decrease in illegal marijuana grow operations in Surrey from 2004 to 2008. The EFSI uses provincial legislation (Bill 25) to inspect properties for potential fire and safety hazards. This has led to the discovery and elimination of hundreds of illegal grow operations in Surrey.
The EFSI recognizes that illegal grow operations are a significant threat to the building's owners and to all neighbouring buildings and their tenants. A home with a grow operation is 24 times more likely to catch fire than a typical home.

I love to talk about words. 10 Great Words You Should Know & Use part 1 & part 2 & part 3 have been big posts here at Paperback Theology. I love to talk about the words we use not as an expert, but as an observer and lover of culture..
That's why I was excited when David Brooks, whom I think is one of the most thoughtful conservatives in the media, wrote an interesting column in the NYTimes a few days ago about the words we use in our society. Google's phenomenal project in which they digitized 5.2 million books published between the year 1500 and 2008. Using key-word searches one can get a feel for how often a word has been used over that period of time. The project can yield a very interesting look at trends in regard to word usage. What words do we use in different eras? What does that tell us about who we were, and who we are becoming. Brooks sees three trending word groups that indicate:
- rising individualism
- increasing demoralization
- growing governmentalization
"…the story I'd like to tell is this: Over the past half-century, society has become more individualistic. As it has become more individualistic, it has also become less morally aware, because social and moral fabrics are inextricably linked. The atomization and demoralization of society have led to certain forms of social breakdown, which government has tried to address, sometimes successfully and often impotently.
This story, if true, should cause discomfort on right and left. Conservatives sometimes argue that if we could just reduce government to the size it was back in, say, the 1950s, then America would be vibrant and free again. But the underlying sociology and moral culture is just not there anymore. Government could be smaller when the social fabric was more tightly knit, but small government will have different and more cataclysmic effects today when it is not.
Liberals sometimes argue that our main problems come from the top: a self-dealing elite, the oligarchic bankers. But the evidence suggests that individualism and demoralization are pervasive up and down society, and may be even more pervasive at the bottom. Liberals also sometimes talk as if our problems are fundamentally economic, and can be addressed politically, through redistribution. But maybe the root of the problem is also cultural. The social and moral trends swamp the proposed redistributive remedies."
Brooks makes a couple of incredible points. To the political right he says that reducing gov't size won't solve the underlying social and moral issues we face as a society. To attempt to drastically reduce government size without addressing the serious underlying social/moral change that is necessary would be cataclysmic. The problem is that the right is part of the problem here. To the political left he says trying to solve the issues economically and politically forgets that the root of the problem is also cultural and again, the left cannot be part of the solution because it does not possess the kind of cultural virtues the society needs to develop.Brooks has a very Hauerwasian point to make here. The basic virtues that are embedded in the culture are not sufficient to create a just society. Instead we are embracing radical individualism. You can redistribute all the wealth you want and this will not change. You can reduce the size of government all you want and it they impact would be cataclysmic. You can have culture wars till the cows come home and this will not… you get the point. Brooks seems to be pointing to the idea that we need to take seriously the kind of virtues that we embrace as a culture. Here's a list of words that are slowly disappearing from our vocabulary:
tribe, share, united, band together, common good, virtue, decency, conscience, honesty, patience, compassion, bravery fortitude, thankfulness, appreciation, modesty, humbleness, kindness, helpfulness, discipline, dependability, faith, wisdom, ought, evil, prudence.
I hope they don't disappear altogether. Here's an excerpt from the article:
"…over those 48 years, words and phrases like "personalized," "self," "standout," "unique," "I come first" and "I can do it myself" were used more frequently. Communal words and phrases like "community," "collective," "tribe," "share," "united," "band together" and "common good" receded.
…general moral terms like "virtue," "decency" and "conscience" were used less frequently over the course of the 20th century. Words associated with moral excellence, like "honesty," "patience" and "compassion" were used much less frequently.
The Kesebirs identified 50 words associated with moral virtue and found that 74 percent were used less frequently as the century progressed. Certain types of virtues were especially hard hit. Usage of courage words like "bravery" and "fortitude" fell by 66 percent. Usage of gratitude words like "thankfulness" and "appreciation" dropped by 49 percent.
Usage of humility words like "modesty" and "humbleness" dropped by 52 percent. Usage of compassion words like "kindness" and "helpfulness" dropped by 56 percent. Meanwhile, usage of words associated with the ability to deliver, like "discipline" and "dependability" rose over the century, as did the usage of words associated with fairness. The Kesebirs point out that these sorts of virtues are most relevant to economic production and exchange.
Daniel Klein of George Mason University has conducted one of the broadest studies with the Google search engine. He found further evidence of the two elements I've mentioned. On the subject of individualization, he found that the word "preferences" was barely used until about 1930, but usage has surged since. On the general subject of demoralization, he finds a long decline of usage in terms like "faith," "wisdom," "ought," "evil" and "prudence," and a sharp rise in what you might call social science terms like "subjectivity," "normative," "psychology" and "information."
Klein adds the third element to our story, which he calls "governmentalization." Words having to do with experts have shown a steady rise. So have phrases like "run the country," "economic justice," "nationalism," "priorities," "right-wing" and "left-wing." The implication is that politics and government have become more prevalent."

FSE Robline Dinghy Sheet Line$0.59
Marlow Ropes Marstron Line$0.28
Dinghy sailboat mainsheets require lines with low water absorption and low kink properties to keep the sheet light and free running - especially at mark roundings. These lines are often hand held and adjusted often so a line that is easy to hold on to and comfortable in hand is a must.
Dinghy jib sheets are hand held and adjusted often. Lightweight lines with low absorption and a comfortable grip are ideal.
Spinnaker sheets on dinghies should be low stretch and easy to hold and adjust by hand.

The alpine tundra biome occurs on rocky mountaintops throughout the world. With year-round cold temperatures, a short growing season and high exposure to ultraviolet radiation, these high-altitude ecosystems are characterized by limited biodiversity. Biotic factors in the alpine tundra include a few species of cold-adapted animals, birds and insects, and small plants which flourish in a short growing season.
The Alpine Tundra
The alpine tundra is the highest life zone in the world, found above the tree zone at altitudes above 10,000 feet in mountain ranges worldwide, such as the Sierras, Cascades, Pyrenees, Himalayas and Alps. The alpine tundra has only two seasons: a lengthy, cold winter and a brief summer during which nighttime temperatures still remain below freezing. At these altitudes, the sun's ultraviolet radiation is high and the air is thin, making the tundra inhospitable to all but a few well-adapted species of animal and plant life.
Animal Life in the Tundra
Animal populations in the alpine tundra fluctuate considerably with the seasons. During the brief growing season, elk migrate to the tundra, while bighorn sheep and mountain goats live there year-round. Marmot and pika hibernate through the long winters in complex burrows deep in the earth. Some low-flying or ground-dwelling bird species, such as the ptarmigan and grouse, also occur in the alpine tundra, but diversity in the bird population is limited due to cold temperatures and lack of nesting sites.
Sciencing Video Vault
Plant Species
Since the alpine tundra biome occurs above the treeline, plant life includes small shrubs, grasses and leafy plants such as alpine bluegrass. During the brief summer growing season between June and the end of August, the ground may be carpeted with wildflowers. The alpine tundra also hosts some varieties of lichen and mosses, which flourish on rocks and in crevices due to limited drainage.
Other Biotic Factors
The alpine tundra hosts numerous species of cold-adapted mushrooms. Wildflower and plant growth in the tundra's short summer feed insects such as grasshoppers, beetles and even some butterflies and bumblebees, but harsh temperatures make the region inhospitable to most insect species. Due to cold temperatures and limited water and food supplies, no reptile or amphibian species occur in the alpine tundra.

Groundwork North Yorkshire is part of the Groundwork federation
One of the major changes in day-to-day life in market towns has been the rise to pre-eminence of the supermarket at the expense of local stores and weekly markets.
Brayton Junior School spent a day comparing the economic and environmental difference between a modern day supermarket trip, and an old fashioned market visit done in 1969 costumes!
Comparisons were made on the cost of the goods, the amount of packaging, the provenance of the goods and how far people had walked. Pupils then discussed about the good and bad points of each kind of shopping shared their experiences, and so had been exposed to a taste of 1969 style living.

Fall Outfit Ideas
So as you guys know it's autumn and the clocks have gone back, meaning that it's getting darker quicker and colder. So I thought I'd give you guys a couple of what are, in my opinion, great fall outfit ideas!
Now I know that all of you reading this may not like some of these outfits, but our difference in taste is what makes us, us.
This first outfit is something that I have actually just ordered online from New Look, but I'm already in love with it having not even worn it yet! It consists of skinny jeans, a long sleeve top, a jumper, ankle boots and a bag.
These jeans are a relatively dark blue and are the petite navy skinny jeans that cost £7.99. http://www.newlook.com/shop/womens/petite/petite-navy-skinny-jeans_377314241
This jumper is the tall black boxy jumper and is exactly same one that I ordered but it is available in three other colours; pale grey, burgundy and pink and costs £7.99. http://www.newlook.com/shop/womens/tall/tall-black-boxy-jumper_372231309
Once again, this top is the same as the one I have ordered and is the burgundy curved hem long sleeved top and is available in seven other colours; black, charcoal, grey, white, olive, dark green and mid pink and it is £7.99. http://www.newlook.com/shop/womens/tops/burgundy-curve-hem-long-sleeve-top-_381028567
This bag is the black snakeskin textured shopper bag and is available in black and tan ans it's £15.99.
These boots are the tan leather-look buckle ankle boots and are only available in this colour. They are on offer at the moment for £14.99 instead of £19.99. http://www.newlook.com/shop/shoe-gallery/view-all-boots/tan-leather-look-buckle-ankle-boots_380310418?
This second outfit is made of a few of my favorite items of clothing that I personally think are a good outfit for cold, fall days and it is one of those outfits that I miss when they are in the wash. It is made of a t-shirt, jeans, a hoodie and some boots.
This top has actually been in one of my past posts. It is a grey single pocket slub t-shirt and is from New Look and costs £6.99. http://www.newlook.com/shop/womens/tops/grey-single-pocket-slub-t-shirt-_382347804
These jeans are from New Look as well and are dark blue supersoft super skinny jeans and they cost £19.99. http://www.newlook.com/shop/womens/jeans/dark-blue-supersoft-super-skinny-jeans-_358357249
This hoodie is one of my favorites out of the ones I own and it is the SoulCal signature zipped hoodie from Sports Direct and is on offer at £8.99 instead of £36.00. http://www.sportsdirect.com/soulcal-signature-zipped-hoodie-664176
These Rocket Dog boots aren't the same as the ones I have because I have the black ones but they are also available from The Original Factory Shop in this colour, tan for £32.00 instead of their retail price of £73.00. https://www.tofs.com/fashion-and-footwear/womens-fashion-and-footwear/footwear/rocketdog-thunder-boots-tan
I'd love to hear what you guys think of these outfits and what kind of things you like to wear during fall so don't be shy about commenting. I'd also like to hear opinions about the SakuraBlush blogmas that I talk about in the post below, that ma now also include a Christmas giveaway, and hear your ideas for it as in my post, in two weeks, I will be announcing whether or not I am going to go forward with it or not xx
The comments box can be accessed by clicking the comments 'link' in the box at the bottom of this page or you could send me a direct message on twitter or Instagram or send me am email xx
