So – you’ve been thinking about blogging for a long time, and would like to learn how to make money blogging in 2017. You’ve probably read quite a few blogs on your own and are flabbergasted by the amounts of money that some bloggers are able to earn just by writing about the things that they care about. Who wouldn’t be? Running a popular blog is insanely lucrative and rewarding for those with a creative streak.
And now you’re asking — can you make money blogging?
But for every blog that makes a decent chunk of change, there are 5,000 others that haven’t made a single dime. The irony is that many of those blogs share information about making money from blogging, even though they have no ground to stand on. Instead of listening to what a bunch of amateur bloggers have to say about professional blogging, let’s go straight to the source and look at advice from some of the most successful bloggers in the world.
Figuring out how to take your blog from a hobby to a legitimate source of income can be a long, hard road. There are an unending number of ways to monetize a blog once you have traffic, but the biggest problem that new bloggers run into is actually generating substantial readership and traffic.
Here are a few tips from professional bloggers that can help you make the jump and start making money blogging.
Darren Rowse of ProBlogger is one of the largest authorities on making money from blogging in the industry. His own blogging has turned what was once a hobby of his into a thriving business and one of the largest online blogging brands. His entire business model focuses on helping businesses and individuals build blogs that generate income and change lives.
The truth is that a single source of income isn’t a very safe business plan. Conditions can change and that source of income could rapidly dry up at a moment’s notice. In order to ensure that you have some stability, you should make every attempt to create multiple streams of income so that when one well dries up, another is there to pick up the slack. The most stable of all income streams is creating your own products, which are not dependent on other parties to be generate income for your business.
Jon Morrow has been a staple in the blogging community for more than a decade and his own brand has grown into one of the largest blogging brands in recent years. He is a blogger at SmartBlogger (formerly known as BoostBlogTraffic), and was originally a regular contributor at CopyBlogger. Jon’s story is one that has inspired millions of bloggers around the world. He was born with Spinal Muscular Atrophy, a condition that left him wheelchair bound but motivated to pursue his writing and find a suitable career that would allow him to live comfortably.
… Did they work harder? Were they better writers? Were they just smarter? Did they have powerful connections?
Turns out, the answer was none of the above.
The only commonality between all of our success stories is they changed the question they were asking. Instead of asking how to get more traffic, they asked a different, much less obvious question.
It might seem silly, but this distinctive change in the way that prospective bloggers look at growing their blog can have a profound effect. In his post, Jon states that there are many different traits that work together to make a blog successful, and no blog is entitled to being popular or making money, no matter how great the writing is.
The size of the targeted industry.
The age of the intended audience.
The longevity of that audience’s interest.
The language of the blog.
The size and authority of the network of the blogger.
The influence that the blogger has within their industry.
The continued desire to interact with your audience.
Far too many “blogging experts” are selling advice and systems that promise huge results in a few short weeks. Can you make money blogging that way? The truth is that building a highly valued blog that attracts readership and drives revenue can take a long time to build and requires a coordinated effort on multiple fronts. You can’t just publish posts and wait for your audience to arrive!
Pat Flynn has been a shining example of blogging success since entering the industry in 2008 after being laid off from his job. Today, Pat’s Smart Passive Income blog rakes in over $100,000 per month and has continued to grow year-to-year.
So what is Pat’s biggest advice for growing your blog and earning a living from blogging? Prepare for what comes after blogging. Sure, you can make a lot of money promoting affiliate products and selling ad space on your blog, but the blog is just a means to an end, not the end itself. Your blog should be the springboard for a larger business, not the business itself.
“I started monetizing it by utilizing Google Adsense, which eventually led to selling advertising space on my blog. At this point, could you call my blog a business?
I was directly dealing with third-party companies to fill those advertising spots. I was, in fact, “conducting business” – but I wasn’t seeing the kind of income I really wanted (and needed) at the time. Not even close.
Pat’s advice is simple and straight-forward. Building a popular blog is great, but it should be seen as a stepping stone toward bigger goals. Keeping those larger goals in mind as you begin blogging can help you to craft a brand that is ready to grow once the readers start coming.
A few hours spent browsing blogs and reading articles about how to make money blogging can provide a lot of insight, but it’s very difficult to know how to put it all together. The biggest mistake that a new blogger can make when chasing their blogging aspirations is to do so without a plan.
Who you will be writing for. Trying to cast a wide net will result in your blog not having a defined theme and audience. Know who your specific audience is and craft content that they will love. That’s how you come up with great blog ideas that drive traffic and it’s how to make money blogging.
Create multiple income streams. The highest earning blogs online can earn money from 10-12 different sources. To maximize your income, make sure that you have multiple streams of income so that when one under-performs, others are there to pick up the slack.
Create and follow a plan. Randomly posting ideas as they come to you is about as effective as throwing darts at a board blindfolded. Sure, some might hit, but a majority won’t pan out.
Have an end business goal. Learning how to make money blogging is very difficult on its own, but having a successful blog shouldn’t be the end goal. As Pat Flynn suggested, thinking of the larger business picture when getting started can help to set yourself up for future success.
Learning how to make money blogging is only a small portion of the recipe for success. Blogs can take months or years to garner readership and getting your blog in front of your audience requires a streamlined promotional plan. By following the advice of some of the most successful bloggers around today, you can cut through the bad advice and get straight to the advice that will help you grow a successful blog and business.

This post is about design. But think broader than graphical design! Think music, buildings, toilet seats, airplanes, movies, money, phones, clothing, text, pencils: everything by people for people.
The user/experiencer is always the centerpoint. He/she is never to be lost out of the process.
Message/feeling: Is always in the center. It is the main goal of the project. The factors surrounding it are the factors of succes to get the message accross.
Emotional: the feeling you want to get accross. What feeling should the user be left with after using your product? Open or closed, warm or cold, together or alone, selfconfident or confused, smart or dumb etc.
Community: This could be translated to marketing. How do you want to get your product to the users and how do you want to keep them. How to bind them to your message/experience?
Social: This is more about the user him/herself. How do you translate the message/meaning/feeling the best so the user understands it almost instantanously. Think about communicating the principle of door, play button, zipper, navigation through site, the gameplay of a game. The main thing is that you should be able to position yourself into the user. Interaction design, game design and human engineering are examples of this social thinking.
Structure: The structure to bring the message accross. Think of the programming code, the foundations of a building, the garment and sewing of cloths, the rythm in music etc. This is the technical aspect of the product. The foundations should be solid and should be supporting all the other factors. For example the objects of object oriented programming could be transfered from the social aspects.
Management: Every product has to be built. The building process is a main influence in the final product. It creates the most limitations for the other factors. Not everything is possible. The management has to support all the factors and divide attention equally. If management is chaotic and the builders are demotivated it will effect all other factors. It is all about motivating and getting the best out of all the internal people.
The upper design process has everything focussed on structure and management. The designers/builders have a structure that focusses on the user but they fail to get a good feeling and inspiration accross. It has a huge effect on their marketing and their user base/community.
In the lower example you see how design works holistically. (the whole is more than the sum of the parts) You see that if everything is balanced you will have a base that can grow steadilly in all directions instead of focussing on separate factors.
The smaller the circle the smaller the focus and audience, the bigger the circle the bigger the focus and audience; the more difficult to build it. Think of the structures and diversity you need before you can reach a larger circle. You have to evolve every facet.

Where the wild things are, is a wildly wonderful book. The kids that read this get to use their imagination on what the wild things look like and how they would move and moan and grown. I love that throughout the whole book the main character thinks that he runs everything and thinks that he doesnt need anyone to take care of him. Until the end when he realizes that he does need someone to feed him and tuck him into bed. Just like he did with the wild things.
This is my favorite, so I was thrilled to find a good copy with a DJ in good shape. It arrived quickly enough and was well-prortected for the shipping.
Well packed, swiftly delivered, and exactly as described.

Addiction affects the whole person in every aspect of an individual’s mental, social, physical, and spiritual life. Origins Behavioral HealthCare’s alcohol and drug addiction treatment centers care for the entire individual, not only the disease. We treat each dimension of well-being through comprehensive, integrated treatment. This includes services for conditions such as mental disorders and stress situations that may exacerbate addictive behavior or may have resulted from addiction.
Substance use disorders occur when the recurrent use of alcohol and/or drugs causes clinically or functionally significant impairment. This includes health problems, disability, and failure to meet major responsibilities at work, school, or home. Substance use disorders require proper intervention, detoxification, and subsequent treatment. Our multidisciplinary team is skilled at treating individuals with the entire range of substance use disorders.
Alcohol is a drug and can be addictive with continued use. Alcohol remains the number one drug of choice for all age groups and is often combined with other drugs. We treat people with alcoholism through clinically robust programming that addresses the underlying causes of alcohol misuse. Using the time-honored 12-Step program, we help alcoholics learn to identify the problem and connect to meaningful solutions.
Drug addiction is a complex neurobiological disease that requires holistic treatment of the mind, body, and spirit. Individuals with drug addiction may use illegal drugs such as heroin, cocaine, or crystal meth which are highly dangerous to the user. Similarly, many prescription medications are addictive, including opioids and benzodiazepines. Most drugs require intensive medical detoxification which must be followed by intensive personal work. We treat drug addiction through Origins’ unique blend of medical, clinical, psychological, and spiritual services.
At Origins Behavioral HealthCare, we are passionate about helping individuals and their families overcome opioid addiction. Today, nearly two-thirds of the overdose deaths in the United States are due to opioids, both prescription and illegal. Our constellation of programs includes comprehensive programming which uses evidence-based interventions designed specifically to address this type of addiction.
If someone has both addiction and a mental health disorder, they are classified as having co-occurring (a.k.a. dual diagnoses disorders). These disorders impact nearly every aspect of an individual’s mental, physical, and spiritual life. Because both disorders impact a person’s well-being, diagnosing both disorders can be difficult. Many times, their symptoms overlap. People often receive treatment for one disorder while the other remains untreated. Origins’ addiction specialists include expert psychologists and psychiatrists who treat patients with co-occurring conditions.
If you are are ready to discuss your addiction, please free to call us anytime at 844-843-8935.

First Monday of the new year and its shaping up to be a very good week. The menu is done. Well its been done for days, but we were just a little busy being lazy and keeping warm and dry around here this weekend, that we didn't go shopping. Thankfully my MIL is taking me after we do labs in a little bit.
So we have 2 new recipes and 3 tried and true meals. The boys have been full of suggestions and David even peeked over my shoulder as I was skimming Pinterest and told me that the chicken and veggies looks good. Even more shocking is that he suggested white rice with it. The man hates rice. Maybe that is a strong word. He just got a little tired of it. You see, where I grew up, rice was a food group. Served at every meal. I kid you not, my mom will eat spaghetti sauce...over rice. So Ive always just made a pot with just about everything. If not white rice then brown or Spanish. He was riced out.
I was planning on making brown rice with the salmon, but the boys asked for Alfredo. So at least there will only be rice with the chicken. Meatloaf calls for roasted potatoes. How is it, my kids like them, but do not eat fries? The tacos are the other new meal. But we are a little tacoed out too, so I'm trying to find more variety there. And to day is National Spaghetti Day. Who knew there was such a thing?
We also decided that I need to stop cooking like I am feeding an army. Its a habit I have come to love and hate. Leftovers are always nice, but when we can eat them for 2 days...I probably should tone it down a bit. I make big batches of chili and cook the huge packages of chicken. And even though we eat leftovers, we still throw some away. Such a waste. So this week I am buying smaller packs and not doubling anything.
I hope everyone had a great New Years and that y'all are ready to get back to the grind today. I am off to the hospital for labs that I have been avoiding and then to the store to stock up the house. Then hopefully I will have some time to breath before the boys get home and we settle back in to routine. The first week back is always so hard.

text: This verse tells us that before we finish our prayer God hears us.He answers before we get our prayer finished.In Matthew 6:8 our heavenly Father knows what we need before we ask Him.The Bible suggests we go to an area or a room in-other-words off by ourselves and just talk to Him in private.Some people repeat words of a prayer over and over.Our Father knows our need and He hears as prayers go to Him.Have you ever asked yourself what prayer is? Prayer is simply talking to God. It is for every moment of our lives, not just for times of suffering or joy. In fact, we should also use prayer to thank God for everything He has done in our lives throughout the day.

NOBODY KNOWS MUCH ABOUT the rituals and symbols used by the early masters of the Lodge of Aberdeen, David Menzies, Matthew Wright, and Alexander Stuart, but we do know that they set about studying the power of symbols to affect the way people think. We know this because their early Masonic floor cloth, which shows all the symbols used in Freemasonry, survives to the present day. It has been carbon dated to the 15th century, and its provenance has been traced to Aberdeen. There was no other lodge of Freemasons at the time, so we know they must have created it. But what inspired them to do something so new and innovative in their little workshop alongside the partly built St Nicholas’s Kirk?
To understand their inspiration, we need to remember that some of the early members and masters of the Lodge of Aberdeen had formerly worked on Rosslyn Chapel, farther to the south. There they had been exposed to the thinking of Sir Gilbert Hay, who had studied the use of symbols and buildings as tools of political influence. Hay had been set the task of creating an alternative center of spiritual focus to the Stuart king’s Abbey of the True Cross, or Holyrood.
The Stuart dynasty of Scottish kings had used a holy relic to promote popular belief that their line had a Divine Right to rule. A fragment of the True Cross, they claimed, had protected King David I of Scotland from a rampaging stage. To house the relic, David created the Abbey of the Holyrood, and he encouraged the Scottish people to venerate its role in protecting the Stuart kings. The symbol of the Holyrood is a stag with the True Cross mounted in its antlers.
In the first half of the fifteenth century, when William St Clair, the baron of Roslin, decided to challenge the Stuarts for the crown of Scotland, he set about building a copy of King Solomon’s Temple, the most famous building in the ancient world He intended it to be a spiritual focus for his coup d’état, and Gilbert Hay put a lot of time and effort into creating a building steeped in symbolism. To this day, the building creates a deep impression on anyone who visits. Hay set up a system of quality control for the stone carving and insisted that all symbols were first carved in wood and inspected by him before being cut into stone. The use of symbols impressed the stonemasons who worked for him. When the coup failed, the workforce was disbanded and left to find work elsewhere. The ones who ended up working on St. Nicholas’s Kirk in Aberdeen took up the study of symbols and myths themselves.
These other paths of Freemasonry are available to members once they have completed the three degrees of the Craft. Examples include the Mark Degree, the Holy Royal Arch of Jerusalem, and the Masonic Knights Templar, among many others. Each side-order has its own rituals, which have been created to explain the symbols, but all of the symbols are contained on the first floorcloth. This means that the rituals came after the symbols. The rituals have been developed over a long period of time to help Masons understand the symbols.
They take their name from the white lambskin aprons, bordered with blue ribbon, worn by brethren. From contemporary writings, we know that the first lodge had only two rituals when it was formed: a ritual of entry for new members, known as Initiation; and a ritual to mark the point when an Apprentice had learned enough to become a Craftsman. Later they added a ceremony to mark the election of a new Master of the Lodge each year. Over time, these simple ceremonies grew to become the four Craft degrees in general use today: Entered Apprentice, Fellowcraft, Master Mason, and Installed Master.
Each ceremony teaches individual Masons something about themselves, something about society, and something about the ancient symbols. Even before you can be proposed as a Candidate for Freemasonry, however, you must meet certain ritual requirements.
To begin with, if you want to become a Freemason, you must “ask” to join. This means that you need to visit your local lodge and tell them you are interested in what they do. They are unlikely to ask you, though sometimes a Mason may ask a friend if they are interested. No one should ever be pressured to join the Masons. Anyone who is not interested in what Freemasonry does will not enjoy it and is unlikely to make a good lodge member.
If you do decide to visit your local Masonic Hall and ask about Freemasonry, the members will happily tell you about their lodge. They will encourage you to look around and ask about their activities. Many lodges have what they call “Gavel Nights,” where members of the public are invited to see the lodge rooms and ask any questions they might have about Freemasonry.
Masonic rituals refer to a supreme source of order in the universe using names that are religiously neutral. Designations such as the Great Architect of the Universe or the Grand Geometrician of Universe are commonly used. Freemasonry does not allow discussion of religion and politics in the lodge. Its rituals bring together the common spiritual lessons of wide-ranging religious and scientific beliefs. To do this, it uses words intended to draw members together rather than force them apart. It seeks to build on the spiritual lessons shared by all faiths rather than dwell on issues of difference and conflict.

I liked this tea even though it was less sweet and more astringent. Astringent is not a bad description by any means when it comes to this tea.
It is important an important characteristic to have a tea able to refreshen and awaken the palette and this tea achieves this. What is interesting about this tea is the long and lingering affect on the palette. The sensation then grows sweet and lingers.
This is not an easy accomplishment to achieve by any tea growing master. Again in a controlled setting I used 7g of tea to 220cm of 156 degree water and brewed the tea for exactly one minute. Shincha Traditional re- hydrated using more of the 220cm of water leaving the poured off tea water volume at 170cm. After repeating the process a second steeping the results were the same. For those interested in measuring tea exactly I suggest a portable gram scale. Some as as small as 2"X 3" are available and can fit in a shirt pocket. Every tea has a unique distinction and your experience can vary from year to year and brew to brew. It is best to have a controlled system and calibrate your behavior. The amount of tea, the amount of water and the time brewed. You will be most happy you did until you get more familiar with your tea for that particular harvest. For more formal settings you can also micro strain the pour so you only get the golden waters leaving out any tea fines that escape from the strainer in the teapot.
I am very happy with the distinctions of the Shincha Traditional tea from Hibiki-an. Both the Shincha Traditional and the Shincha Gyrokuro expelled continuous enjoyable flavor for 3-4 pours. I hope this review and the review I wrote for Shincha Gyrokuro encourages more tea drinking enjoyment and good health and long life for everyone who enjoys Hibiki-an teas.

Sony’s Bravia 4K UHD OLED 8F series ups picture quality ante in 2018.
Sony Electronics unveiled at CES 2018 Monday two new and expanded series of 4K Ultra HDTVs including the X900F Bravia 4K LED-LCD TV series and the A8F Bravia 4K OLED series.
Both series were said to have been designed to make the best use of 4K High Dynamic Range (HDR) content and improves SD and HD content to near 4K HDR quality using a combination of a new picture processor and panel control technologies.
“Building on the great successes of the X900 and OLED TV series, we are further expanding the choices for consumers by introducing the new X900F LED and A8F OLED TV models,” said Mike Fasulo, Sony Electronics North America president and COO.
The new A8F series is said to build upon last year’s A1E 4K OLED TV series that featured the unique 4K HDR picture Processor X1 Extreme and Acoustic Surface technology, with improved sound and picture quality.
The A8F series, which will include the 55- and 65-inch screen sizes, features even better black levels, with rich colors and wide viewing angles, that are characteristic of OLED technology.
The X1 Extreme controls the milliond of pixels and extends the capability of OLED for an advanced 4K HDR picture.
The X1 Extreme processor is used in tandem of an assortment of Sony technologies to improve image quality for native 4K to lower-resolution SD content. These technologies include HDR remaster, Super Bit Mapping, 4K HDR and Dual database processing. The sets also present a expanded color gamut through Sony’s Triluminos Display technology that optimizes color accuracy.
Othe features include 4K X-Reality PRO for enhanced detail using a proprietary algorithm of reality creation database for any content.
On-board sound continues to be exciting in the second-gen OLED series. Unlike conventional LED, where the sound emanates from the bottom or sides, the A8F enables a fusion of image and sound, with voices appearing to come directly from the characters’ mouths and explosions directly from the action on the screen.
When combined with an OLED panel the A8F series is said to offer a dynamic visual and aural experience from any viewing position.
Meanwhile, Sony said it is reacting to customer demand for larger screen sizes, by expanding the model assortment in the popular 4K Ultra HD LED-LCD X900F TV series.
The new premium series will include screen sizes of 85-, 75-, 65-, 55- and 49-inches in 2018. These will all incorporate the aforementioned X1 Extreme processor for what Sony said is brilliant picture quality.
To better manage image blur in fast moving scenes, the X900F series includes a new technology called X-Motion Clarity. Sony said this technology uses Sony’s proprietary direct back-lit LED panel local dimming algorithm to control the luminance and optimize its duration.
Additionally, Sony said Dolby Vision HDR will be supported on the A8F and X900F series as well as previously announced 2017 models.
The X900F series was also designed to match Sony’s new Dolby Atmos soundbar, model HT-X9000F.
Sony 2018 Android TVs also have Google Assistant built-in, allowing users to simply speak commands to the TV and have it perform program search and discovery functions to access desirable content. The system also provides voice control of other smart home devices through a Sony TV.
such as the Sony LF-S50G, Google Home or Amazon Alexa.
Sony said pricing and availability on all of the new TV models will be announced later.

Engineers love graphene for its versatility, strength, and electrical conductivity. However, one drawback to its use in electrical applications, such as sensors, is that it is sensitive to humidity.
A research team from Europe think they have found a solution to this limitation. They've discovered that when graphene binds to the metal of electronic circuits, the contact resistance—or the part of a material's total resistance due to imperfect contact at the interface— it is not affected by moisture.
“This will make life easier for sensor designers, since they won't have to worry about humidity influencing the contacts, just the influence on the graphene itself,” Arne Quellmalz, a PhD student at KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Sweden and the lead researcher on the project, told Design News.
Companies SenseAir AB in Sweden and Amo GmbH in Germany as well as the Catalan Institute of Nanotechnology (ICN) in Barcelona also collaborated on the project, which is called the European CO2-DETECT project. The team published a paper describing their work in the journal ACS Applied Materials and Interfaces.
Quellmalz and his team have applied their knowledge and a new approach they developed to create the first prototypes of graphene-based sensors that can measure carbon dioxide (CO2) by means of optical detection of mid-infrared light and at lower costs than with other technologies.
Since CO2 is makes up the majority of greenhouse gas, environmental scientists have a vested interest in being able to accurately detect its presence in the air. The CO2-DETECT project is one example of researchers from different institutions coming together to collaborate on new technology toward this goal.
Graphene is an atomically-thin sheet of carbon atoms with extraordinary conductivity and mechanical properties, and is being used by scientists in myriad applications— one of which being the manufacture of sensors that turn environmental parameters into electrical signals that can be processed and measured.
To ensure its effective use in these sensors, however, graphene needs to make efficient electrical contacts when integrated with a conventional electronic circuit.
While the contact resistance between graphene and the circuit is not affected by humidity, the material itself is sensitive to the water molecules in the surrounding air that are absorbed onto its surface. This can change the electrical resistance of graphene, which introduces a false signal into the sensor.
What Quellmalz’s team did to address this issue is to use graphene together with gold metallization and silica substrates in transmission-line model test structures, as well as computer simulations, he said.

Q. InterestFree4Cars.com- a permissible finance solution for Muslim beliefs in the UK?
Conventional United Kingdom financing options conflict with the core beliefs of the Muslim faith, and as a result, gives Muslims living in the UK who wish to finance a used car no choice but to go against their beliefs. The core of Islamic economics is a prohibition on interest, meaning Muslims cannot take or give interest on anything.
This immediately creates a problem for Muslims, as conventional banks charge borrowers an interest rate through which they make profit.
Sharia law requires that Muslim people are not permitted to pay or receive interest. In order to comply with Sharia, consumer banking has set up services for Muslim customers offering mortgages. This usually involves the bank buying the house but selling it back to the borrower at an inflated price and the customer paying "rent" until the total amount is paid off.
An empty space waiting for halal (Lawful/Legal) car financing has been evident in the UK. Interest Free 4 Cars aims to fill that void by providing an honest, interest free finance option on all our cars.
A Muslim car financing option has been required for a long time. Interest Free 4 Cars offer customers good, quality used cars on finance with no interest payable over the term of the loan. There is no hidden cost at any point of the agreement.
The cost of the car is spread equally over a maximum of 6 years. The borrower is the registered keeper of the car and is responsible for the upkeep of it including servicing and repairs. Extended warranties are offered (optionally) and can also be financed at 0%.
There are no fees for early settlement of the loan.

JPMorgan Chase has given negative views on cryptocurrency for some time now and particularly those views have come from its CEO, Jamie Dimon. In an apparent flip of opinion, the bank has created a new position that will focus on a crypto-asset strategy.
Business Insider is reporting that this new cryptocurrency strategy position will go to Oliver Harris of London who was running the bank’s In-Residence Fintech program. His new job will be focusing on a cryptocurrency strategy for the bank and lead the Quorum project, which is rumored to be an internal blockchain platform being developed by the bank.

Farmers could now process more wheat much quicker and with less labor force. The Mechanical Reaper The Mechanical Reaper was built by Cyrus McCormick in 1831. McCormick's reaper could cut more wheat in a day than a half-dozen farmhands. Lee Trinkle, Former Governor of Virginia in 1931. Effective Stress is the grain to grain contact of soil particles. Determined to improve his machine, he spent the next ten years improving it. McCormick reaper The original McCormick reaper, 1831.
The first reapers cut the standing grain and, with a revolving reel, swept it onto a platform from which it was raked off into piles by a man walking alongside. How could a nation be expected to operate if it took a month to send and receive information? The machine's speed increased crop yields, decreased the number of farmhands needed and helped turn the Midwest into the nation's breadbasket. Twenty years later, 170 million bushels were harvested. The reaper, which one observer likened to a cross between a wheelbarrow and a chariot, was capable of cutting six acres of oats in one afternoon, the equivalent of 12 men working with scythes. By the time the ended, several people were dead and four more were on trial for their lives.
It brought about an industrial revolution as well as a vast change in agriculture. To send messages, a person would press down on the key in a code, which became known as Morse Code. Political The influences the mechanical reaper had on the political side of things was: 1. This effectively quantises the orientation of the electrons orbit. Its development was a major event in the history of agriculture, playing a critical role in the mechanization of agriculture that occurred during the 19th century. While the mechanical reaper offered many advantages, farmers originally looked at it with skepticism.
Cyrus' father, Robert McCormick, had extensively researched the mechanical reaper, but his design was never perfected. During the Industrial Revolution, inventors and engineers attempted to improve technology to make it easier to relay information, transport goods, farm more efficiently, spin cotton quicker, etc. Before the reaper, the amount of grain that could be cut by hand during the short harvest season limited both food supply and farm sizes. Joseph Henry had been experimenting with electromagnets and a telegraph system. In 1834, inventor Cyrus McCormick took out a patent on his invention and, soon after, began manufacturing the reaper himself.
This proved to be a huge economic benefit in the agricultural world. Fingers held the wheat while it was cut. The fire was a blessing in disguise because it essentially destroyed an outdated factory. McCormick only had to walk beside the machine and rake the wheat stalks into piles which could be bound as usual. This also increased the efficiency of sewing. A few years later, in the 1850s, Isaac Singer invented the modern sewing machine. Plus having mechanical reapers takes jobs away from people who might otherwise be able to make a living.
What was the main impact of cyrus mccormick's reaper and john deere's steel plow on agriculture?
The 1871 Chicago fire destroyed McCormick's factory. These inventions made it easier to mend clothing in your own home, rather than go out and have someone else hand-sew your clothing for you. The reaper was eventually replaced by the self-propelled combine, operated by one man, which cuts gathers, threshes, and sacks the grain mechanically. When the McCormick reaper was returned to the , the site of the Great Exhibition, word had spread. Slowly, by word of mouth and by creating a better product than the competitors who rushed to market with similar machines, he built his reputation.
The nation needed a faster way to communicate. His telegraph was a success. In 1819 Jethro Wood patented an iron-bladed plow then in 1837, John Deere engineered a plow with sharp-edged steel blades that cut cleanly through the sod. Because McCormick was concerned with quality, he was an innovator. The was invented by Cyrus McCormick 1809-1884 , a Virginia blacksmith, in 1831. His invention, the McCormick 'Virginia' reaper, revolutionized farming by combining many steps involved in harvesting crops into one machine.
They increase the amount of farmland each individual farmer can work, which means that more people are required in theory to help with other tasks. McCormick produced more of the machines, and at first he only sold them to local farmers. The mechanical reaper expanded the national market economy by increasing the amount of wheat a farmer could harvest in a limited harvest season, improving the food supply and freeing farm laborers to work in factories. Although the first mechanical reaper was patented in 1834, several societies used their own versions historically. In 1831 Cyrus, aged 22, tried his hand at building a. And that meant farmhands going off to war had less impact on grain production. Because farmers were able to harvest wheat so quickly, they began to plant more of it.
Even today, more than 160 years later, farming machinery for cutting wheat is similar to what he invented back in the 1830s. In 1830, 40 million bushels of wheat were harvested. After numerous tests, the reaper was harvesting about an acre an hour; whereas before, it would have taken an entire day to harvest anywhere between an acre to three acres. Cyrus' horse-drawn reaper used back-and-forth-moving cutting blades and a revolving device to push cut grain onto the back of the machine. Beginning in 1831, 22-year-old Cyrus McCormick continued his father's failed quest to produce a mechanical reaper design.

Connecting, and Cleaning up Social Style Over the Holidays! - Adster Creative Inc.
Connecting, and Cleaning up Social Style Over the Holidays!
As people begin to unwind after Christmas and New years, and get into the swing of things again, I’m here to remind you that you’re not quite out of the woods yet. New Years just took place and with that the time to connect to almost every side of the family, and almost all your friends is here again! Even if you’re like me… not necessarily the most social person out there, there are some things that you should probably keep in mind: the digital cleaning time is coming. And you can get a head start.
Connecting to Friends or Family … the Digital Way!
There are many ways to connect to family and friends in a personal and visual way across multiple networks. The first is probably one most people will try to use to get a hold of everyone: Facebook. About a year ago they implemented a video call system (built on Skype’s infrastructure) that you can “call” somebody (as long as they’re online, that is) and have a personal one to one video chat. Of course if you want to connect to more than one person and plan things, setting up a group, or even a group message is a great way to get it done. The second method that comes to mind is Google+ Events.
First off, from the very beginning they’ve made things very easy to manage. But hold on… how are Events supposed to help me connect? Though events have been out for quite some time now, they’re still an essential holiday planning tool. And not just while you’re organizing, but also during and after the actual event itself. When you’re at the party or get together, there’s all these people with smartphones taking pictures but it’s highly unlikely you’ll ever see all of them. The cool part about events is that as multiple people take pictures, and as long as they’re members of the event, every photo they take will be shared to the Event stream. So you can see them in real time. That was just the cool part, the really cool part? Hook a laptop or computer up to computer take all the photos and start a slideshow and watch as they come in. Kind of cool eh? Also probably the more obvious method of seeing people is by setting up a Google+ Hangout. Like Facebook you get a very stable video system going. Unlike Facebook however, you can have up to 10 people in the hangout at once. Lots more opportunity to connect to all the relatives in one sitting. The cool part too is that even if they aren’t at your party they can still add photos to the event, making for one massive collection of photos across multiple locations.
There are a lot of places to start and most likely the first place will be your most used social network, whether its Facebook, Twitter, or Google+, cleaning out the amount of content you view and who is also viewing yours is a pretty big deal. Best way to try and reduce this is by straight up weeding out the friends/contacts/connections, that have no value to you anymore. This is a great first step, but another great place to go is to try and clean out all the different pages that you follow. Especially on Facebook where it’s so easy to like a page, and then continuously receive updates. (It’s also a good time to double check that no pages have been liked unintentionally). Twitter is also very easy to follow people and brands, and luckily it’s also just as easy to remove some that really don’t have any use.
Keep in mind this is just a starting place, and there are tons of other ways to connect with your friends, and probably way more stuff to clean up too (email I’m looking at you). But with that in mind I hope it gives you an idea of where to start, Or if you’re like me, and usually take care of things as they come up. Awesome. Sit back, chillax, and enjoy the holidays!

I came across this nail polish holder at Family Dollar recently. I was so surprised to see it there because I usually only see them online. I have spotted 1 made by Pueen at Wal-Mart for around $8 give or take. So I decided to pick 1 up since it was just 2bucks and put it the test.
Now I Luv my Tweexy polish ring which is my fav and plus its the original holder. I have about 2or3 of them. I use it almost everytime I polish nails. It helps me keep my hand steady and helps me to polish a lil neater. It holds all bottles well,it’s very sturdy and you can take it/use it anywhere.
Watch the vid to see how the So•Mine Nail Polish Holder worked out VS The Tweexy.

TARGET has some of the cutest and affordable BATH BOMBS! The ones I have been wanting to try is called DA BOMB FIZZERS. They are handmade by 2 teenage girl sisters right here in the U.S. Each of their Bath Bombs has a surprise in it which I think is a fun idea. I also can across some smaller bombs by Soap&Glory and some that came in packs of 5 or more. I like to use them for bathing but mostly for mani bombs. I just add a lil cuticle oil to my bowl of water and soak my nails in it!
Smith & Cult polish is vegan,gluten free and 8 free! It has such a nice smooth shiny formula. It looks like I already applied a topcoat after polishing and I love when polish has that look. Yes I still use a topcoat,mostly a fast dry but you can get away without. When I first received my smith & cult I thought it had gotten banged up during shipping. I contacted them and they said the tops are made that way. Having them kinda banged up does actually help with holding it and polishing.
Dollar Tree had some nice name brand products in this particular week I went. I always search for new stuff they get in. Not all DT stores has the same things but if you visit a couple different stores you will come across some goodies at at least 1 of them. Walgreens had a really good sale on laundry detergent. I always look for this sale due to I have 4 kids that seem to have never ending dirty clothes! The Arm&Hammer Body& Hair wash i found at dollar tree comes in handy with the kids to. So far it does the job. I picked up a couple more. Next I’ll be testing the bath bombs but using small pieces for mani bombs!
Hope this haul helps you find some goodies at your local stores! Thanks for stopping by Be sure to give me a Follow and Subscribe to my Youtube Channel. Tia!

Are Lottoland on the verge of an Australian lifeline?
Hong Kong billionaire Tony Fung is set acquire Canberra’s ailing casino from Casino Austria International for AUS $ 6 million (£3.10 million).
Australian Capital Territory (ACT) Racing and Gaming Minister Joy Burch approved the sale to Fung’s investment enterprise Aquis after reviewing redevelopment plans put forward by the Billionaire.
Australian news sources report that Fung and his Justin negotiated the discounted sale with Canberra officials.
The acquisition deal was further eased by the approval granted by the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission. Aquis were further granted gaming licence for its proposed redevelopment of Canberra casino, which will see it converted into a large scale entertainment/leisure complex with hotel.
Last month Aquis released a corporate statement saying that it was totally commited to the redevelopment plans for the Capitals Casino. Furthermore as part of the acquisition deal, Aquis will provide contributions to ACT problem gambling funds and selected state charities for education and welfare.

MIT, working in collaboration with Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH), has devised a new method of drug distribution inside the body by injecting the medicine directly into the lining of the intestine.
Normally, the delivery of an orally administered drug to a specific part of the body is a challenge. Rarely do those drugs succeed to pass the acidic contents of the digestive tract and are able to deploy their pharmaceutical payload. This problem becomes more obvious while working with drugs which contain large amount of protein in them. The latest method found by Science is, frankly, an unpleasant one in which the patient is stabbed with tiny metal pipes that let the medicine push through the resultant wound. There has to be a better method to do this, but for the time being there isn’t.
The capsule measures 2cm in length and 1cm in diameter. The center of the capsule is designed as a reservoir to hold the drug, which is then injected into the intestinal region via a series of 5mm long micro-needles that function as the outside coating of the pill. To assist with ingestion, as the capsule is on its way through the digestive system, the needles are protected by a PH coating that dissolves when it reaches the intestine.
Significantly, the acrylic coating lets the drug survive the hostile journey through the stomach saving the effectiveness of the pharmaceutical contained inside it. Furthermore, the design of the pill will allow it to be used for a number of different medicines, without any redesigning required. And the lack of pain receptors in the lining of GI tract will shield the patients from knowing that the needles are actually delivering the medicine.
The capsules have been tested on animals; Insulin was administered to pigs. The results turned out to be promising without any major side effects. The glucose levels of the pigs dropped effectively and it actually proved to be more effective than the method where insulin is administered with traditional subcutaneous injection.
The team believes the capsule will have a wide range of uses in the future, from treating autoimmune disorders like arthritis to supervision of vaccines for illnesses such as meningitis, that contain a biological factor. The pill will also be able to deliver antibodies to cancer patients, as a substitute method to treatment to the usual method that includes a series of painful injections.
In future, the team is planning to refine the capsule and eventually move on to human trials. For this purpose, the researchers are working to create an improvement of this project that contains solid needles from polymer and sugar. In this configuration, the medicine will be contained inside the needles itself which will tear off from the pill and will implant themselves in the lining of the GI tract. Once implanted, the needles will slowly release the drug in a natural manner which is then dissolved by the intestine. There are also plans for the development of the pharmaceutical delivery process in terms of efficiency, by using the natural contractions of the digestive area to squeeze the capsule for medicine.
A detailed paper on the team’s work has been published in the Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences online.
Thanks a lot and I’m looking forward to contact you. Will you kindly drop me a e-mail?

To improve the quality of commits and reduce the number of typos introduced into the anaconda source, Anaconda has a mandatory patch review process. The intent is to keep this very light-weight while still increasing visibility for changes.
Note that review is no substitute for having tested your code and so you should still do that even before the submission of the code for review.
For "final" review of patches, it is best to have a local git tree to which you have committed your changes as a set of patches. If it is a small change, one commit may be sufficient. Larger changes should be broken into a regular patch series in which at each subsequent stage of patch application, the whole is usable and testable.
Please also make sure that there is a usable commit message along with each commit. These should be formatted with a simple summary (~ 70 characters or less), a blank line and then a lengthier description (if necessary).
Once your changes are ready to be submitted and reviewed, you can either send them as patches to the anaconda-devel-list mailing list or submit them as a pull request to the Anaconda repository on Github.
Anaconda and other related projects include the option of running Pylint and/or a built-in testsuite. It is always a good idea to run these two on your changes before submitting them for review, ideally comparing the results of run on "clean" anaconda checked out from the master branch and result when Pylint & tests on the branch with your changes.
The mailing list used for Anaconda patch review is called anaconda-patches@lists.fedorahosted.org (listinfo, archive) and you needs to be subscribed to the list or else your emails will be rejected. The mandatory subscription was introduced to reduce the amount of SPAM email on the list.
This will let you compose an introductory mail for the patch series; if this is a single patch, you can likely send without --compose as your commit message should be enough to make it clear what you are trying to fix.
The second options fur submitting changes to the Anaconda project is by using the GitHub pull request mechanism.
To submit a change begin by forking the Anaconda repository on GitHub. Then create a "feature" branch in your forked repository and add your changes as one or more commits in the branch. Once done, submit your "feature" branch as a pull request to the main Anaconda repo.
Wait at least 24 hours after proposing a change before pushing it to the source code repository.
This explains why your change might not yet be pushed even after being approved by one of the Anaconda contributors participating on the review. The contributor thinks the change is fine but makes sure that others also have a chance to review the patch.
24 hours it the minimum amount - especially for larger changes or something which might be expected to be controversial, a longer time window to allow for discussion should be expected. At present, there are no hard limits regarding the number of reviews required, so use your best judgement.
The main upstream development branch is called master and this is where the modRana upstream development happens. The master branch is also currently used for the builds of the Fedora Rawhide installer.
All proposed changes should first go to the master branch, if possible. From here they can be backported the applicable release branches.
The Fedora release branches are named using the f<fedora number>-branch scheme and are used as source of builds for the given Fedora release. For example f21-branch corresponds to Fedora 21.
Not only Anaconda but also other related projects, such as Blivet and Pykickstart usually have a Fedora release branch. Other projects less dependent on the low-level Fedora infrastructure, such as Initial Setup, don't have a Fedora release branch.
Contributions that introduce features to any installer packages will require significantly more time and discussion before changes are accepted. Please also note that while all new features will be considered, not all may be accepted, depending on a number of factors which can arise from discussion with the development team. Feature work should always be done upstream first, in rawhide. "Feature work" includes any major behavioral changes, UI changes/redesign, or new behavior which did not exist previously.
Due to the volatility and QA burden that new features impose, after branching for a Fedora release occurs, it is very unlikely that any feature work will be accepted into that version of Fedora, and only bug fixes will be allowed from that point on. Any new features proposed against Fedora in Bugzilla will be deferred to rawhide. Therefore, if you want to see your changes accepted by a certain Fedora release, make sure to propose them as early as possible.

Nikon's vision has always been to create cameras and lenses that capture more light. More light means more detail. More speed. More possibilities. The Nikon Z7 Mirrorless Digital Camera Body brings that vision to life (and then some). Combining the advantages of a lightweight mirrorless design, a revolutionary new full-frame lens mount and matched lenses, a Nikon designed 45.7MP image sensor and seamless integration with Nikon's DSLR system-including the NIKKOR lenses you love-the Z 7 is a camera unlike any before it. And yet, it's unmistakably a Nikon. This is mirrorless reinvented.
493-POINT ON-SENSOR PDAF - 493 on-sensor AF points cover 90% of the frame (approx.) horizontally and vertically. Subjects are acquired quickly when they enter the frame and tracked throughout the frame, even to the far edges.
NEW HYBRID AUTOFOCUS - Using an AF algorithm optimized for its FX-format sensor, Z 7 automatically switches between focal-plane phase-detect AF and contrast-detect AF to fine-tune focus. The light-shielding phase detection pixels are carefully arranged on the sensor to preserve light, ensuring accurate AF even in dim lighting.
NEW SUBJECT TRACKING - Whether shooting eye-level with the EVF or in Live View with the LCD, Auto Area AF smoothly tracks your subject's face-even when it's one among many. The system pays attention to the upper body, too, maintaining focus position when your subject briefly turns away from the camera or moves out of view.
NEW 3.6M-DOT QUAD VGA VIEWFINDER - Take an ultra-high resolution QUAD VGA display, add Nikon optics for magnification, including Aspherical lens elements and Fluorine coating, and you've got an EVF experience unlike any before it. Minimal lag and blackout, 100% frame coverage (approx.), corner-to-corner clarity and sharp magnification. It has the feel of an optical viewfinder, and you can use it for both stills and videos.
NEW ICON-DRIVEN INFO DISPLAY - All relevant info is displayed out of the way and is easy on the eyes. A new customizable menu appears right inside the viewfinder, so you can quickly adjust settings without ever taking your eye off the shot. Focus modes, white balance, exposure, VR settings, Picture Controls, and more-all within eye's reach. Preview exposure and white balance changes, image stabilization and depth-of-field in real time. You can even review the photo or video you just shot.
UP TO 5 STOPS OF VR IMAGE STABILIZATION - Powerful in-body 5-axis VR image stabilization is applied to whatever NIKKOR Z lens you're using. Up to five stops* of image stabilization in up to five directions-yaw, pitch, roll, X and Y. During video recording, optical VR is combined with electronic VR (e-VR) for even steadier shots. Normal VR mode for static subjects. Sports VR for moving subjects.
VR FOR F-MOUNT NIKKOR LENSES - For the first time, F-Mount NIKKOR lenses like the AF-S NIKKOR 105mm f/1.4E ED or AF-S NIKKOR 14-24mm f/2.8G ED can benefit from in-body 3-axis VR. NIKKOR lenses that already have VR, like the AF-S NIKKOR 70-200mm f/2.8E FL ED VR, get the added benefit of roll axis for a total of 3-axis VR. Just add the optional Mount Adapter FTZ and you're good to go.
NEW Z MOUNT - 17% larger internal diameter than Nikon's acclaimed F-Mount. Wider than any full-frame mount available*. It totally changes what's possible with lens design. Enhanced low-light performance. Even illumination from corner-to-corner. Maximum apertures as wide as f/0.95. Faster data transfer between camera and lens. This is the ideal balance between mount diameter, large image sensor and flange focal distance.
9 FPS SHOOTING - Shoot up to 9 FPS at full resolution (12-bit RAW or JPEG) with minimal shooting noise* and without the need for an external battery pack. For complete silence, switch to Silent Mode and shoot up to 8 FPS with no mechanical noise.
ISO 64 (EXPANDABLE TO ISO 32) - Increased light capture means you can shoot at lower sensitivity more often. And the lower the sensitivity, the greater the detail, color range and contrast.
ISO 25,600 (EXPANDABLE TO 102,400) - More light gathering potential, flawless EXPEED 6 noise reduction and new NIKKOR Z lenses free you to explore the darker side of light with entirely new brilliance.
BUILT-IN WI-FI - Transfer images to compatible smart devices 2X faster than previously possible-up to 25 mbps. Choose between the 5 GHz and 2.4 GHz bands for optimum transfer speeds.
BUILT-IN BLUETOOTH LOW ENERGY - The Z 7 can automatically connect whenever your compatible smart device is in range. Send original resolution JPEGs or have the camera automatically transfer 2MB versions of your photos as you shoot them.
REMOTE SHOOTING - With SnapBridge version 2.5, you can also use your compatible smartphone as a remote monitor and controller. Touch focus, adjust settings like exposure mode, white balance and more, then fire the shutter.
NEW USB BATTERY CHARGING - For the first time in a full-frame Nikon camera, you can charge the Z 7's new EN-EL15b battery in the camera through a standard USB-C connection-from your computer, a wall outlet or other charging device.

Creating a conjecture is really a sometimes dangerous scenario, potentially unhealthy for your credibility, but we are quite positive about stating that Canadian business proprietors will recognize non bank asset financing as credit facilities for business finance loans is the best factor they every heard about with regards to financing their business.
To be honest we do not think we exactly heading out and creating a stretch comment because, hundreds otherwise a large number of Canadian firms are investigating and making use of this kind of financing.
Because the Canadian business economy turns itself around entering 2011 the majority of are customers are finally centered on growth again.But exactly how is the fact that growth to become financing, since lending standards and criteria at institutions like the banks don’t have been liberalized in the same pace that the company wishes to grow at!
This is where our trend conjecture is available in. Asset based lending concentrates on your assets and growth possibilities – it does not concentrate on rations, tangible equity inside your company, rations, covenants, income coverage, etc, etc, etc!
Which means you are obtaining around the chance, let us observe how things work. Asset based lenders make it simple, they lend a really quality value upon your ongoing assets. Do you know the typical assets given against – you are able to almost guess what they’re. They’re receivables, inventory, unencumbered equipment and property.
The large mystery around asset based lending in Canada, according to conversations with this clients, is the fact that business proprietors don’t fully realize or understand who these lenders are. So we’ll let you know.
They’re specialized firms, both Canadian and U.S. based, that focus exclusively on supplying credit facilities and business finance loans together with your assets as security. They go ahead and take same security like a Canadian chartered bank would, and also you manage your facility on a day-to-day basis, drawing lower cash since you need it. Money is wired to your account since you need them, according to… you know what… assets! That actually may be the one key difference our clients detect, the total focus of this kind of assets financing may be the collateral itself.
We know the next question… because we have heard it 100 occasions before. Its’ just how much are we able to get ‘… adopted in what will it cost.
Speaking generally your receivables are financed at 90% of the value, and due to the character and marketability of various kinds of inventory this kind of collateral is margined between 25-75%. Recall we’d noted that unencumbered equipment could be attracted against also. Typically an appraised market or liquidation value is decided with your asset financing provider.

When we see that kind of reaction, we know something interesting is in the house!
Manu observed, while working in a number of locations around the globe, that the bulky, expensive microscopes were not being used because people were afraid of breaking them. He also realized that lab microscopes were not designed to be used in field work, which was limiting the amount of in situ (“on site”) science work —much of it had to be done back in a lab, creating a lag time for actual investigations.
The solution required a radical approach, and the quest to design a low-cost, easy-to-use microscope with sufficient optical quality to do real work was on!
The result was the Foldscope.
The Foldscope is part of the approach to what Prakash calls doing “frugal science.” A functional microscope which can be made for $1 is part of that strategy. The paper here from 2014 talks more about how the device works, its capabilities, and the limits of the design.
Four years later, the Foldscope team, with hundred of thousands of units shipped, has learned a lot more about how to mass produce them and how they function in real life. Along with some tweeks to the origami design of the Foldscope itself, they have also assembled a collection of tools and accessories to make sample collection and field observations easier…enter the Deluxe Kit.
There are two layers to the box of the Deluxe Kit. The molded tray holds most of the tools, tubes, lenses, and…stuff. Lifting the tray out reveal a space underneath which is large enough to store a field notebook and ziplock bags of labels, filters, and other flat items.
All of the bits and pieces are interesting additions to the paper Foldscope and will likely make the field experience more enjoyable. We look forward to taking it out and giving them all a try.
The assembly of the paper microscope seems complicated, but is actually a lot simpler than the written instructions make it out to be. A lot of the apparent complication has to do with having to describe how to fold something flat into three dimensions, which is often easier to understand from watching a video.
How to use the Foldscope is also detailed in the instruction manual, along with suggestions for slide preparation, how to gather samples, and how to use the Foldscope with the camera on a smartphone to take photos and videos for sharing.
One of our past RainyDayScience efforts was a series called Backyard Biotech. We think it is again time to add to the series based on this new piece of gear.
It will be exciting to see what we can see once we’ve assembled the scope. Look for the construction write-up soon!

Marcel blogs about how getting involved in an LGBT+ friendly football team helped him to move forward from the anxiety of coming out, and how the Rainbow Laces campaign can help to shape a brighter future for LGBT+ people in football.
I have always felt like the odd one out. Whether it was to do with my appearance, my unusual name in my Essex hometown, or the fact that I didn't see myself represented in the portrayal of LGBT+ people on TV, particularly gay men, growing up. I felt, to steal a famous Little Britain phrase, like the 'only gay in the village'.
The Rainbow Laces Campaign is a big deal for me personally because it’s a visible yet subtle way of saying that I belong here. As a Norwich City supporter, I am all too aware of how bad homophobia has been in football. I remember finding out about ex Norwich player Justin Fashanu's suicide when I was 14 and reading about his life and the struggles that he faced. At the time you would hear things like 'gays can't play football' and other derogatory comments. Football was my escape from my mundane existence and yet it was slamming a door in my face at the same time.
When I was 23, I contemplated suicide rather than tell my parents that I was gay.
I had told other people by that point but not my parents. Like a lot of other gay men, telling my dad was the most onerous. It is difficult to describe how cathartic an experience it is to come out to somebody. Years, even decades, of internal strife is released. I had heard many dreadful stories of the aftermath of coming out and the anxiety in the build up to telling him was overwhelming. Having an interest in football meant that my dad in particular had no idea that I was gay. I was 'one of the lads'. Playing football with my friends at that time definitely helped me overcome this because not only was I getting the physical and mental benefits that come from physical exercise, but it also gave me a focus. When is the next game? What game is on TV this week?
When I moved to London in 2008 I immediately joined a LGBT+ friendly football team because I wanted to play football and be judged on my ability rather than risk rejection because of my sexual orientation. I had played with different mainstream youth teams and never felt comfortable in telling anybody there about being gay. Dressing rooms are very hyper-masculine at times and I would hear all of them bragging about the girls they were (allegedly) 'dating' and just sit there quietly hoping that nobody would ask me anything. I don't know what would have happened had I told my team mates but like a lot of young gay men, when coming out, you fear the worst. Especially because at the time, Justin was the only example of a top level player who had come out and his life came to a tragic and premature end.
That summer I played in the IGLFA World Championship in Regents Park which enabled me to meet other LGBT+ people who played and watched football from all around the world. It was eye-opening and inspiring to meet so many people with similar interests far removed from cliched gay stereotypes, and still be in touch with them today. Also this was only a year after I had been at my lowest ebb. I often get asked why I play for a LGBT+ team. I play for two reasons. Firstly, it provides a safe space to play and also it allows me to meet like-minded people in a space that doesn't revolve around bars and clubs, which felt at the time to be the only way of meeting gay people.
Something like the Rainbow Laces Campaign is a massive step in the right direction in eradicating discrimination from football. I like the fact that the discussion around LGBT+ people involved in football now is extremely positive and a campaign like this is being taken seriously by those at the top of the game. LGBT+ people have often played a peripheral role in the game as directors or as chairman (Elton John and Stephen Fry) but having an out gay man on the pitch will make a huge difference to the next generation. The laces may only be a token gesture to some but hopefully it can be a catalyst for a much brighter (rainbow tinted) future for LGBT+ people participating in football and other sports.
At Mind, we're proud to support the Rainbow Laces campaign alongside our partners at the EFL. Whoever you support, we're #OnYourSide.

Though many Christians do not realize it, there was a grand trial many years ago and their eternal destiny hung in the balance. You see, salvation is not a decision. It is not obtained by doing good works. Salvation is by grace, obtained by our righteous Advocate, the Lord Jesus Christ. He stood before the righteous Judge of the universe and represented His people, the elect. He is an overall sketch of how it went.
WE HAVE A JUDGE: There is a judge presiding over the case. It is not a trial by jury .But we have a judge who will announce the final decision. The Judge is the Righteous Judge of the universe: God the Father.
THERE ARE THE ACCUSED: The accused criminal stands before the Righteous Judge charged with many, many crimes. We are the accused. Guilty as charged.
WE HAVE A DEFENSE ATTORNEY: We have the defense attorney to defend them. One who will plead their case: This is our Righteous Advocate, Jesus Christ.
THERE WAS ALSO THE PROSECUTING ATTORNEY: We have the prosecuting attorney who is charging them with their crimes. This person is Satan, the accuser of the brethren.
The court is in session , let us hear the final outcome and the sentence the judge will pass down.
First comes the prosecutor, Satan: He approaches the bench, and begins his argument with many facts, well known by the general public. He points to Adam’s fall, and his relationship to the whole human race as their representative head. He reminds the judge that even though many will say that Adam has nothing to do with them, they have proven that he does by their own crimes. If some could possibly be found without crimes, they would at least be guilty in him, though none could be found. Then he points to Cain as the first evidence of this truth. For no reason, he murdered his own brother. The prosecutor then illustrates very accurately the way mankind was before the flood, when the thoughts of every man was only evil continually. He reminds the Righteous judge that He destroyed the earth Himself with a flood because of their wickedness. Then he snickers in The Righteous Judge’s face, reminding Him that he left a seed of 8 souls to try it all over again, and that failed as well because evil men and seducers continue to wax worse and worse. Then he reminds the Righteous Judge of Israel, how they took His blessings, yet served the gods of the Canaanites. Then he proceeded to the cross where the greatest crime of the universe was committed. He graphically illustrates how that His own Holy, Righteous Son was beaten to a pulp, and finally crucified by His own people for crimes that he never committed.
The argument was well prepared, and everyone in the courtroom knew it was all true, even the Righteous Judge. For most of these crimes, as we have noted, were not done in a corner. There were smoking guns all over the courtroom. The evidence was accurate, and the Omniscient Judge knew every detail before the accuser made his case. Justly accused, that is where we stood before the Righteous Judge of the Universe. The prosecutor felt that he had an airtight case. He retires.
Next comes the accused, the defendant. The defendant has no real rights in this courtroom, but is allowed to speak. That is you. So, what would you say?
Some in the courtroom are telling the Judge that it is none of his business what they do. Others are saying they had nothing to do with Adam, and the whole story is just a fable in the first place. Still others are saying that there is no such thing as right and wrong, that this is just a kangaroo court. Yet, there are many, who know they are justly condemned that we hear saying, “Lord, have mercy on me a sinner.” And over there is one who is saying, “Lord, remember me when thou comest in to thy kingdom.” So there are cries of mercy, and favor from one group, and those of utter hatred for the judge from another group: A pitiful bunch of people.
Finally, it is time for the defense attorney, the Righteous Advocate. That is Jesus. This Righteous Advocate has been appointed by the court because no one else could, or would take the case. There was none in heaven or in earth that was worthy of this case or had the proper credentials. But the good thing about this appointed attorney was this: He was the Judge’s only Beloved Son. The prosecuting attorney did not like this. He asked for a mistrial. But there was nothing he could do about it. It was all perfectly legal!
The Righteous Advocate approaches the bench. Everyone becomes silent. He looks in His Fathers face. Then He looks on the defendants. Then he peers into the eyes of the prosecutor, Satan, who flinches a little at the brightness of His coming. The first thing that comes out of the Righteous Advocate’s mouth is something the world, all of the people, never expected. He says, “Take all of those that spoke unkindly to my Father, the Righteous Judge, and cast them into outer darkness. I will defend those I want to defend and I will not defend these. The bailiffs get busy and clear the courtroom of those wicked people. The only ones left are those that knew they were justly accused, those who begged for mercy, and favor. Yet these are as numerous as the stars of the sky and the sand of the sea.The next thing the defense attorney brings before the court is a part of the law that the prosecuting attorney had never considered. The accuser wasn’t as brilliant as he thought he was when he 1st began this campaign in the garden. You see, the Son well knew the Righteous Law better than the accuser. The Son knew His Father’s righteousness, and he knew that the Righteous Judge could still retain his righteousness by letting those He loved go free provided someone else would agree to suffer in their place for all of their crimes. So the Son, the defense attorney, the Righteous Advocate, brings this legal document before the Judge. The Righteous Judge allows this document to be permitted into the case, and asks who will suffer for the accused.
There was silence for about half an hour. As it was, there was none found in heaven, or earth that would.... nor were there found any that could...there were none in the universe that had the ability to suffer for so many crimes. So, the Son, the Righteous Advocate said, “Father, I will suffer for them. I can’t do it as God, but I can as man. I will leave our home, and become as they are, yet without sin, and you can inflict all of the your wrath upon me in their stead. Though it grieved the Father, He loved those who cried for mercy, and favor so much that He agreed to the plan of redemption. The court was adjourned for three days and nights.
So the defense attorney, The Righteous Advocate, took all the crimes that were against those that cried for mercy and favor, and nailed them to His cross, in His Body, and there they died. In His suffering, the Father had to turn his back on His Son. He could not bear to see His Son in such torments. But according to plan, the crimes could not lay hold on the Son. He was without sin and the prison of hell had to release Him, and all of those sins placed upon him went flying into the wilderness.
The court was called back into session. It was at this time that those who knew they were justly condemned, those that begged for mercy and favor, were set free. No charges could further be made against them. By this substitution, no righteous laws were broken, and God retained His Holiness. Finally, the Righteous Judge turns his face towards the prosecuting attorney, who is Satan. He had no defense attorney. And the court refused to provide him with one. The language of the Righteous Judge went something like this: “You were the perpetrator all along. You were the one in the garden to temp Eve. You tried to murder my Righteous Advocate when He made his advent into their world. You rose up against me long ago, and exalted yourself as God. Your case is without merit, groundless, and full of contempt. He was cast into outer darkness, in chains, until the last day when the executioner will bring him forth for his death.
In essence, that is a picture of the spiritual courtroom of God where the elect were set free.
What did we have to do with all of this? Nothing. Nothing apart from our crimes against the Righteous Judge of the Universe. You see, Salvation is by grace, freely given by our Righteous Advocate, Jesus Christ.
