Discover more about your sporting ancestors
With the Rio Olympics drawing to a close, Jayne Shrimpton explains how photographs of our ancestors at leisure can give us an insight into their lives

At the Rio Olympics this month, athletes have been competing in 42 different sports. Modern events like BMX cycling would probably have raised eyebrows among our ancestors, yet other sports, from equestrian events to boxing, date back centuries and may have been activities that they, too, enjoyed.
Evidence drawn from many family collections demonstrates a variety of surviving sports-related photographs. Discovering these evocative, sometimes surprising, images and investigating our forebears' sporting interests highlights their personalities and achievements, providing a fascinating insight into their lives.
By the time photography became established in the mid-1800s, some of our Victorian predecessors were already enjoying active outdoor pursuits and by the 1860s photographers were recording the sporting activities of the day.
Initially, pursuing sport purely for pleasure was a luxury available mainly to a wealthy, leisured minority. Therefore, the earliest professional sporting photographs typically portray gentlemen's sports teams or elite public school and university college football, rugby, cricket and rowing teams.
Amateur photography – an expensive and time-consuming pastime – was also practised among the Victorian upper classes, so our more privileged ancestors may appear in picturesque country house scenes featuring games of croquet on summer lawns, or at winter hunt or shoot meetings.
As the century marched on, organised sport progressed, with local clubs and match rules becoming firmly established, and more active pursuits beginning to be enjoyed by a broader cross-section of society. Outdoor photography in general advanced, following technological improvements that aided commercial photographers and encouraged a new wave of middle-class amateur 'snap-shooters'.
Late-Victorian sporting images reflect these trends, popular scenes included official football team photographs, groups of tennis players and local bicycle club outings inspired by the new cycling craze of the 1880s and 1890s.
By then, it was also becoming fashionable for sports enthusiasts to pose in their local studio with the tennis racket, bicycle, crossbow or other equipment representing their sport – items that were usually their own possessions, not necessarily 'props' provided by the photographer, as is often supposed. Male clients, in particular, might also change at the studio into sportswear designed for their particular event – perhaps athletics, boxing or cricket.

The great outdoors
Open-air photography, and particularly amateur snapshot photography, advanced rapidly during the early 20th century, with many individuals and households acquiring cameras between the wars. Family photographers snapped away enthusiastically as their nearest and dearest participated in various leisure activities and competitive sports.
During the late-1920s and 1930s, a pronounced vogue emerged for healthy outdoor exercise and girls and women participated in more of the sports once closed to them as females. Photographs of early- to mid-century range from golf or bowls scenes to tandem outings or swimming at the public lido, while school photographs also portray the sports that were part of the modern curriculum, including team games such as hockey and lacrosse, gymnastics and drill classes.
Local sports clubs multiplied, too, from lawn bowls to cricket and tennis and many of our photograph collections contain sporting pictures taken on the green, court, pitch or outside the clubhouse, or showing ancestors posing in the studio after a sporting triumph, surrounded by their medals and trophies.
The armed services had long encouraged sports such as boxing, fencing, shooting and polo, to combat idleness and alcohol, inspire greater levels of physical fitness and to build unit cohesion. During the two world wars many of our more athletic relatives lined up proudly for formal photographs of regimental football teams, newly qualified PE instructors and other military group photographs, each member ordering a copy of the picture.
Sports teams were also often formed in the workplace and, famously, during the First World War, many munitions factories produced pioneering all-female football teams whose images have gone down in history.

A matter of gender
Like other old family photographs, unidentified sporting pictures can be broadly dated from the type of photograph (indoor/outdoor, professional/amateur, single/group) and from the sport, as outlined above. Remember that relatively few working-class ancestors appeared in Victorian sporting photographs, but may well have been photographed after 1900.
Early male sporting images are more numerous than female, as Victorian and Edwardian women were discouraged from competing in active sports. To investigate mystery sporting scenes, try using local sources serving the relevant area such as school archives, local record offices, sports clubs, and so on.
The style of sporting dress can aid approximate dating of sporting photographs. It is also worth searching online for firmly dated examples with which to compare your sporting photos and visit museums that display historic sportswear.
Many Victorian sports were male-dominated, although both sexes historically enjoyed horse riding, for leisure or the hunt. Riding dress followed fashion, with certain modifications. By the 1860s, horsemen wore a tailored riding or morning coat with trousers in town, or knee breeches for country wear, teamed with gaiters and ankle boots. Later, the comfortable lounge jacket became fashionable, with long boots and riding breeches, wide jodhpurs adopted during the 1890s and remaining a 'fossilised' style throughout the early- to mid-20th century.
Ladies' tailor-made riding habits echoed men's dress and comprised a fitted jacket or jacket-bodice, matching skirt, and a masculine-style hat. Initially, habit skirts were dangerously voluminous, but became more slender during the 1860s and 1870s, with serious horsewomen favouring a plain, dark-coloured habit. In 1875, the 'safety' skirt was devised, having a back slit that was opened when mounted, to minimise the risk of an unseated rider becoming entangled in her skirt.
Tailoring grew more complex as the two sides of the skirt differed, following the addition of a third pommel to the side-saddle: this affected the 'sit' of the skirt, inspiring pouch-like shaping for the right knee. Well-hidden underneath, ladies wore cotton pantaloons and, later, more substantial breeches for decency. Only in the later 1910s and 1920s did they begin to ride astride, discarding skirts and wearing a jacket with riding jodhpurs.

Comfortable pursuits
The bicycle offered another mounted sporting experience as hazardous 'penny-farthing' contraptions gave way, during the 1880s, to sturdy tricycles and 'safety' bicycles for both sexes. Victorian and Edwardian male bicyclists usually wore knee-breeches or knickerbockers with a woollen or flannel shirt, jacket or comfortable sportsman's jersey and purpose-designed heelless shoes. Between the wars, when more people acquired bicycles, more relaxed tailored shorts and short-sleeved sports shirts became popular.
Meanwhile, competitive male cycle racing required more streamlined clothing than that of the ordinary weekend cyclist and some of the earliest Olympic cyclists of the 1890s looked surprisingly modern in thigh-high shorts and even singlet-style vests. Body-hugging long-sleeved vests or jerseys became standard for cycle racing during the early-1900s, teamed with fitted mid-thigh-length shorts.
For Victorian ladies, a plain or sporty Norfolk-style jacket-bodice and bustle skirt was usual during the 1880s, then later, in the 1890s a masculine-style jacket, blouse and skirt or, for the bold, cycling 'rationals'. Finally, between the wars, trousers and breeches became acceptable and female cyclists enjoyed the freedom of shorts from the 1930s.
Modern lawn tennis was played from the mid- to late-1870s, initially by the leisured classes. Prior to strict dress codes, male players wore a loose white shirt and trousers or knickerbockers, the lounge jacket worn removed during play. In the 1880s, striped sports shirts or jerseys and white flannel trousers became popular, teamed with rubber-soled canvas shoes, and by the 1890s a plain or striped flannel blazer was fashionable.
Edwardian players usually wore white or cream flannel suits: only from the late-1920s were open-necked sports shirts accepted and shorts appeared even later, from the 1930s. Tennis was a conservative game, as female players well knew, Victorian ladies having to play in fully fashioned costumes of thick serge, flannel or jersey material, complete with corsets and 1880s bustles, and even hats. Soon professionals were adopting pale or white garments and during the early-1900s a white blouse and ankle-length skirt became customary.
After the First World War, Frenchwoman Suzanne Lenglen popularised lightweight cotton frocks with short sleeves and by the late-1920s shorter hemlines were evolving, followed by divided skirts in the 1930s that ushered in female shorts.

Pioneers of modern sport
Sporting prowess has always relied on the ability to move freely when in action. Dress-related issues initially hampered men and women, but especially females, for as long as there remained public concern over respectability. It was deemed indecent to display even the clothed outline of the female form below the waist before the First World War and genteel ladies chose mainly sedate activities like croquet and archery, which required few clothing modifications.
Riding, tennis and cycling were possible, if awkward, and by the early-1900s gymslips and even divided skirts (culottes) were worn by schoolgirls for gymnastics and team games such as hockey.
However, competitive, energetic track and field events were largely male-dominated for many years. By the 1870s, a short-sleeved vest and fitted knickerbockers were already common for male hurdle-racing and cross-country running.
During the 1880s and 1890s, more recognisable athletics outfits developed for various events and often comprised a round-necked vest with short or elbow-length sleeves and cotton drawers (shorts) ending around knee-level. During the early-1900s, garments became briefer, liberating the limbs: shorts to the mid-thigh were worn with T-shirt-style vests during the 1910s and finally around the late-1930s, 'singlet' and shorts became usual.
Some women's athletics events first appeared in the 1928 Olympics. Early female athletes usually wore a short-sleeved blouse with loose shorts. By the 1930s, a sleeveless vest and shorter, knickers-style shorts were acceptable.
The demands of swimming furthered sportswear perhaps more than any other event, as heavy, cumbersome Victorian costumes were modernised and streamlined, competitive swimwear attained a relatively minimalist look by the 1910s.
Our sporting ancestors were not only physically fit and accomplished: they were bold advocates of practical, modern dress, pioneering many of the comforts that we enjoy today as we play sports.

Midterm elections are undeniably underrated. Historically, voter turnout for off-years sticks at around 40%, compared to 60% in the Presidential cycles. Thankfully, this year, people are paying attention. Over the summer, a significant number of people rushed to vote in the primaries.
There's a lot going on in politics and there's so much we need to care about. Ever since Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy announced his retirement and Supreme Court Nominee Brett Kavanaugh's messy confirmation hearings have proceeded, we've been getting more and more worried about losing the ability to enact progressive change and protect our values and rights.
Our state government is meant to protect us. State laws and statutes are just as important as national legislation. If we want progressive legislation quickly passed on a national level, the best place to start is at the state level. For this to happen, we need to pay more attention to our State Representatives.
That's why, this election cycle, riding the blue wave is crucial. If you want increased gun control, environmental preservation, the ability to get an abortion, or whatever progressive change you want to see, you need to vote blue. As of now, the Democrats' platform covers all of these issues. If these candidates win the election, I have no doubt change will arise soon.
However, the real importance of voting blue isn't the policies but the politics. In our current political system, the members of the majority party in the House of Representatives choose the Speaker of the House (the leader of their own party). For example, if Republicans have the majority in the House, the Representatives will choose a Republican Speaker of the House (and vice versa). The Speaker gets to decide when and which are presented to the House. This is an extremely powerful position. It specifically allows the party in control to decide which bills they want to hear and vote on.
What does this mean for us? Say we want to have sensible gun control legislation passed. If the Republicans control the house, there will be no gun control legislation. The Speaker, most likely, won't even consider it. Even if your Representative promises to try to draw up the bill or supports sensible gun legislation, regardless of party, it'll get swept under the rug.
This occurred with the State Representative of my district. He ran as a moderate Republican, trying to tie together the liberal and conservative demographics of my city. He supports gun control, he wants to give student loan relief to college graduates, and he supports strengthening our education system.
If our government ran on anything but partisan politics, I would have supported him, even though I'm a very liberal person. It's important to represent your constituents' interests and work across the aisle to achieve them. Anyone can accomplish this, regardless of where you fall on the political spectrum.
However, the bigger problem happens when you go along with whatever your party dictates, which my Representative did. He said he supported sensible gun control, yet, he voted for a Representative with an A+ rating from the NRA for Speaker of the House. All the bills he said he would pass weren't prioritized by his speaker, they were buried under miles of other bills and saved for the last few months of the Congressional session.
It's not that I have a problem with moderate Representatives like this, it's that they don't really have power in the Trump-controlled House. I want to see progressive legislation passed; I don't want to wait around for change to happen. If we want to make the future a more free and safe environment, we need to take action now.
This is why it's more important than ever to vote blue. If you really value progress, if you want gun control and environmental preservation, if you want to keep your right to an abortion, you need to vote blue. Flipping the legislative branch is the only way to preserve the progress we made during the Obama administration.
The midterm elections are in six weeks. If we want to move forward, we need to show up and vote.

College Football Picks: UCF and race to be top G5 champion
By RALPH D. RUSSO
AP College Football Writer
Wednesday, November 14
With limited intrigue among the Power Five conference playoff contenders this week, No. 11 UCF gets the spotlight as it puts the nation's longest winning streak on the line against No. 19 Cincinnati.
The Knights and Bearcats are the prime-time game on Saturday and ESPN's "College GameDay" rolls into Orlando, Florida, for the first time. The Knights' streak is 22 and pushing toward rare air in college football. There have been 26 streaks of 25 straight victories in major college football history.
While UCF fans probably are not going to get the recognition and ranking they believe they deserve from the College Football Playoff selection committee, the Knights are lined up for another marquee bowl bid and a shot to take down a highly ranked Power Five team — like they did last season against Auburn in the Peach Bowl.
Slip up against Cincinnati and the American Athletic Conference East Division becomes muddled, as well as the race for the coveted spot in the New Year's Six bowls that goes to the highest ranked conference champion from outside the Power Five leagues.
The latest CFP rankings had Utah State 23rd, Cincinnati 24th and Boise State 25th. The Aggies and Broncos play next week in a game likely to decide the Mountain West's Mountain Division. If the Mountain West and American teams pick each other off, keep tabs on Buffalo of the Mid-American Conference and UAB of Conference USA, both checking in at 9-1. The Blazers could barge into the New Year's Six discussions by upsetting Texas A&M.
The picks (Note: It is SE-Siesta weekend with several highly ranked Southeastern Conference teams taking a break against 40-plus-point underdogs. We'll pass on those games):
No. 23 Boise State (minus 20½) at New Mexico
Lobos have given the Broncos some headaches with their triple-option in recent years but managed only one victory … BOISE STATE 35-17.
Duke (plus 28) at No. 2 Clemson
Blue Devils QB Daniel Jones has the attention of NFL scouts in what could be a light crop of college quarterbacks … CLEMSON 38-13.
No. 3 Notre Dame (minus 10) vs. No. 12 Syracuse in New York City
Irish will have QB Ian Book back, but it's RB Dexter Williams who should thrive against the Orange's shaky run D … NOTRE DAME 35-21.
Indiana (plus 28½) at No. 4 Michigan
Wolverines have gone to OT with the Hoosiers two of the last three seasons … MICHIGAN 45-10.
Kansas (plus 36) at No. 6 Oklahoma
Sooners have won 13 straight against the Jayhawks, and it has been particularly lopsided lately; average score 51-5 last four seasons … OKLAHOMA 51-5.
No. 7 West Virginia (minus 4½) at Oklahoma State
Cowboys get another shot to play spoiler against a Big 12 playoff contender … WEST VIRGINIA 42-35.
No. 8 Ohio State (minus 14½) at Maryland
Terps have lost QB Kasim Hill to a knee injury … OHIO STATE 31-14.
Arizona (plus 9½) at No. 9 Washington State
Minshew Mustache Mania … WASHINGTON STATE 35-21, BEST BET.
No. 19 Cincinnati (plus 7½) at No. 11 UCF
Bearcats have allowed more than 400 yards just once this season; Knights have not been held under 400 since 2016 bowl game … UCF 34-24.
No. 18 Iowa State (plus 3) at No. 13 Texas
In six games since taking over as Cyclones quarterback, freshman Brock Purdy has put up numbers comparable to West Virginia's Will Grier (13 touchdowns, two INTs, 192.04 efficiency rating) … IOWA STATE 31-28, UPSET SPECIAL.
No. 14 Utah State (minus 27) at Colorado State
Aggies lead the nation in scoring at 51.3 points per game … UTAH STATE 55-24.
No. 16 Penn State (minus 27) at Rutgers
Scarlet Knights are only Power Five team to score fewer than 20 touchdowns this season (17) … PENN STATE 38-7.
Oregon State (plus 32½) at No. 17 Washington
Three times this season the Pac-12's offensive player of the week was facing Oregon State … WASHINGTON 56-21.
Middle Tennessee (plus 16) at No. 20 Kentucky
Wildcats looking to snap a five-game streak of scoring 17 points or fewer … KENTUCKY 28-14.
No. 21 Utah (minus 7) at Colorado
Buffs' five-game slide making things slippery for coach Mike MacIntyre … UTAH 31-21.
No. 22 Boston College (minus 1½) at Florida State
The question for the Seminoles right now is how much fight do they have left? … BOSTON COLLEGE 27-21.
No. 24 Northwestern (minus 2½) at Minnesota
Wildcats do one thing at an elite level, averaging 3.1 penalties per game and 28.5 penalty yards, both tops in the nation … MINNESOTA 24-21.
Arkansas (plus 20½) at No. 25 Mississippi State
In six victories, Bulldogs are averaging 7.7 yards per play; In four losses, 3.6 … MISSISSIPPI STATE 35-13.
UAB (plus 16½) at Texas A&M — DCAbloob
Aggies were hoping to get a gimme. Instead, Blazers show up allowing 13.2 points per game … TEXAS A&M 24-14.
Missouri (minus 6) at Tennessee — horsehead81
Vols need one more victory for bowl eligibility in Year 1 under coach Jeremy Pruitt … MISSOURI 28-21.
Michigan State (minus 2) at Nebraska — saunders45
Cornhuskers have gained 450 or more yards in seven straight games, a school record … NEBRASKA 28-27.
Southern California (minus 3½) at UCLA — PhillyM31
Losing to the worst UCLA team in at least 30 years would be a real problem for USC coach Clay Helton, who already has enough of them … USC 24-17.
Pitt (minus 6) at Wake Forest — MichaelTPittard
Panthers clinch the ACC Coastal with a victory. Yes, really! … PITT 35-31.
Last week: 20-6 straight; 8-16-2 against the spread.
Season: 179-67 straight; 122-120-3 against the spread.
Upset specials: 6-5 (straight up).
Best bets: 3-6 (against the spread).

Leland responds to likely House passage of Stand Your Ground on Steroids
Says "shoot first, ask questions later" bill makes Ohio less safe
COLUMBUS— State Rep. David Leland (D-Columbus) today released a statement following the Ohio House passage of House Bill (HB) 228, the so-called Stand Your Ground bill, a Republican-sponsored effort to loosen gun safety standards by reducing firearm offenses, making it harder to prosecute gun violence cases and preempting local authority to enact commonsense safety protections for Ohio families.
"We're constantly confronted with images of gun violence, and as public officials, it's our responsibility to respond to these threats. Measures have been proposed regarding Red Flag laws, better background checks, protection from domestic violence offenders and more—but we are not considering those measures today.
"Instead, HB 228 guts Ohio's concealed carry statute, making all of us less safe by making crimes such as illegally carrying a concealed handgun punishable by a slap on the wrist. The bill also implements 'shoot first ask questions later' provisions that only create a greater likelihood of gun violence.
"Finally, the bill keeps cities from passing gun safety ordinances. Thomas Jefferson once said, 'The government closest to the people serves the people best.' The issues are not the same in Belpre as they are in Cleveland as they are in Columbus. Let's let the governments closest to their citizens do their duty to protect their communities.
"We have a gun violence epidemic—when we faced a similar epidemic in automobile fatalities —we didn't ban cars—we made their use safer—that's what we need to do here—we need to stand our ground for common sense gun safety legislation."

The Dow Jones Industrial Average finished the trading week by gaining 198 points for the week to close at a record 20,269. The S&P 500 gained nearly 19 points for the week to close at 2,316. The Nasdaq gained 67 points for the week and closed at 5,734 while the Russell 2000 closed at 1,389 for the trading week.
Once again, the S&P volume traded just shy of 300 million shares, its lowest volume week in 2017.
The S&P 500 and Nasdaq are extreme overbought on the weekly time frame, according to our SST Strategic Algorithm Numbers. The last time we saw this extreme overbought weekly condition for the S&P 500 and Nasdaq was the week ended Aug. 9, 2016. From there, all four stock indexes retraced their gains and traded at or below their 22-day moving average.
Thus, it would appear that this stock market is at or near the end of its parabolic move to the upside since the election of President Donald Trump in early November.
The indices could still move higher, but the probabilities have greatly increased that we see some downside weekly action going forward.
One stock that has been on a tear has been Apple(AAPL) - Get Report . Apple closed the trading week with a 2.36% gain. For the month of February, Apple has gained 8.88% and for the year 2017, it has risen 14%.
Apple is a holding inJim Cramer's Action Alerts PLUS Charitable Trust Portfolio. See how Cramerrates the stock here. Want to be alerted before Cramer buys or sellsAAPL?Learn more now.
Can Apple continue to move higher at this pace? Don't look for much more of an upside from here.
The SST Strategic Number for Apple on a weekly time frame is 98.73. With a green open on Monday, Apple will be extremely overbought on the weekly time duration and have its highest SST Weekly Number since the week ended Sept. 21, 2012.
The Apple SST chart will show this. Traders and investors should take notice of this phenomena. This is a highly unusual event.
In addition, Apple closed trading on the weekly time frame with its price outside the +3 standard deviation.
Traders should back off and not chase this momentum. Wait for a pullback to a lower price before taking any new long positions.
The weekly time frame should be used for making strategic decisions and the daily time frame should be used for making your tactical decision.

The test of love: Matthew 7.21-27
The commentary is taken from the New Jerusalem Bible, Saints Devotional Edition (Darton, Longman & Todd, 2002).
It is not those who say to me, "Lord, Lord," who will enter the kingdom of Heaven…. (Matthew 7.21).
Love certainly gives value to our works, but obedience proves how much our works are worth because they are valuable only so far as they are done with charity and obedience.
I assure you that even though you had the gift of tears to such a degree that you wore yourself out weeping for your neighbour's sins; though you had the gift of prophecy; though you were ravished in ecstasy and saw angels; though you were always recollected and united to God; if you are not obedient and simple, all that I have just said is but a deceit of your enemy, and your love is but an illusion. As our Saviour has said, "It is not those who say to me, 'Lord, Lord,' that is, who pray often, "who will enter the kingdom of Heaven, but the person who does the will of my Father…." Notice how he has placed the mark of true love in obedience: "If you love me, keep my commandments" (1 Jn 14.21). All these things are truths of Scripture. Recompense is given in proportion to love, and obedience is the proof of true love. You should love supremely this practice of obeying in all things, and do nothing without obedience stamped with the love of Christ.
Don't think that you must do great things to show our Lord that you love him. No, great things are good when God presents them. But let's offer our little things to his goodness with great love and with great submissiveness, and the recompense will be in proportion to these two things.
Nowhere in Scripture does the Lord say: My son, my daughter, give me your head, your arms, your life, but only, "My child, give me your heart." Whoever has a person's heart has the whole person. The heart is the seat of love. When I have your heart, I will set my love on it. And I will even make my love dwell in it, and all the rest will follow as a consequence.
St. Jane de Chantal, 1572-1641
Welcome to the Fellowship of St. Peter
The aim of FSP is to promote Christian faith and spirituality. The central focus is on the person and work of Jesus Christ.
Christianity in the modern world
As the number of churchgoers dwindle in the western world, traditionalist Christians need to overcome their differences and consider a form of unity that recognises their common purpose. It's time for the faithful remnant to act as a creative minority and voice a unified response. In an atmosphere that is increasingly hostile to Christianity, the goal must be to preserve the orthodoxy of the faith in the face of continuing erosion of religious liberty.
The Fellowship extends a hand of friendship to those who have withdrawn from churches which have aligned themselves with secularism and liberal values, thus fatally compromising the integrity of a faith that is essentially counter-cultural.
We must read the signs of the times. The era is drawing to a close. It is time to stand up and be counted as the people of God. Do not be afraid. The gathering darkness will not enshroud the light of faith nor quench the flame of truth. These will remain, along with all those whose steadfast faith shields them in the coming storm.
'And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.' (Matthew 28.20).
The word of God
The word of God is a powerful force for enlightenment, a necessary counterweight to secular humanism. The Fellowship seeks to recapture something of the simplicity and vitality of the church in apostolic times, before the purity of the Christian message was corrupted by spurious doctrines. The emphasis is on spirituality that supports the life and ministry of Christians everywhere, regardless of denomination.
The Bible speaks to the world. All Christians have something of interest and value to share through their witness. The aim of the Fellowship is to promote prayer, Bible study and spiritual reflection which will bear fruit in daily lives. These disciplines can form the basis of a Rule of Life that requires a strategic withdrawal from the mainstream.
Let the word of God fill your hearts and minds, let it guide and inspire you and refresh you like a clear mountain stream. Be still with God in prayer. Be an instrument of his loving purposes, a purveyor of peace, and let your peace rest on all those you encounter, especially those in need of compassion and healing. Heed their cares and bind their wounds. Live in uprightness and modesty and exercise restraint in your material needs. Guard your tongue, practise discretion, speak only words of counsel and encouragement, the words of Christ.
Your eyes, hands and impulses should be those of Christ. Pray always for strength and enlightenment. Praise and thank God and place into his care your needs and those of others.
Bible. Prayer. Witness. These are the three principles on which the Fellowship is founded.
By his divine power, he has given us all the things that we need for life and for true devotion, bringing us to know God himself, who has called us by his own glory and goodness. In making these gifts, he has given us the guarantee of something very great and wonderful to come: through them you will be able to share the divine nature and to escape corruption in a world that is sunk in vice. But to attain this, you will have to do your utmost yourselves, adding goodness to the faith that you have, understanding to your goodness, self-control to your understanding, patience to your self-control, true devotion to your patience, kindness towards your fellow men to your devotion, and, to this kindness, love. If you have a generous supply of these, they will not leave you ineffectual or unproductive: they will bring you to a real knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. But without them a man is blind or else short-sighted; he has forgotten how his past sins were washed away. Brothers, you have been called and chosen: work all the harder to justify it. If you do all these things there is no danger that you will ever fall away. In this way you will be granted admittance into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and saviour Jesus Christ. (2 Peter 1.3-11).
Why Peter?
Peter represents Everyman in all his frailty, vulnerability and confusion. He was headstrong yet inspired, well-meaning but impetuous. His heart was in the right place but he didn't always live up to his own rhetoric. He triumphed over his weaknesses by the grace of God and saw the perfect vision of Christ and what that vision meant for the church and the world.
Peter was a leading figure during Christ's walk on earth. He occupied a position of seniority amongst the disciples. He was there at all the major events during Christ's ministry and in the final days leading up to the crucifixion, resurrection and ascension into heaven. It was to Peter and his fellow apostles that Jesus entrusted the legacy of truth enshrined in his teachings, the keys of the kingdom. After Pentecost Peter and his companions went out to the world to proclaim the Gospel.
Acts of the Apostles. Peter became a leading light in the early days of the church, the apostle to the Jews living in the diaspora. His authority in the nascent Christian community has to be viewed against the ascendancy of Paul as apostle to the Gentiles, a position that gave Paul equal authority in the direction of missionary work.
In terms of Peter's primacy of leadership, however, "….one should not look in Peter or in the primitive church for the developed conception of the primacy which appears no earlier than the third century. The development of power possessed by the church and by Peter into monarchical leadership lies outside of biblical theology." (John McKenzie, Dictionary of the Bible)
The Gospel of Mark. The church historian Eusebius (d. ca. 339) wrote: "Mark, who became Peter's interpreter, wrote accurately, though not in order, all that he remembered of the things said and done by the Lord. For he had neither heard the Lord nor been one of his followers, but afterwards followed Peter, who used to compose his discourses with a view to the needs of his hearers." (Recommended reading: Meeting God in Mark, by Rowan Williams (SPCK, 2014)).
1 and 2 Peter. Of the two letters that bear Peter's name, the first seeks to encourage and strengthen early Christian communities suffering persecution, reminding them of their heritage. The second has more to do with the dangers of heresy and how Christians can have confidence in the truth of Scripture. These encouragements and warnings resonate with us living in times of moral decline and religious indifference.
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! According to his great mercy, he has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, to an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, kept in heaven for you, who by God's power are being guarded through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. (1 Peter 1.3-5).
Peter was martyred in Rome during the Neronian persecutions, probably in the year 64.
Jerusalem Cross
There are various interpretations of the symbolism. The four smaller crosses are thought to denote either the four gospels or the way the Gospel spread to the four corners of the earth. In terms of God's revelation and world history, the city of Jerusalem is of huge political, religious and symbolic importance. The focus is highlighted in the gospels and in the emergence of the first Christian communities described in the Acts of the Apostles. It was from Jerusalem that the apostles scattered to proclaim Christ

The spiritual life
We must keep the Bible open before us. It is our enlightenment, our source of consolation, our prayer book. It contains the revelation of God's purposes in salvation history. It is the well-spring of all the truth, goodness and wisdom that God wishes to transmit to human beings who he ordained to administer the complexities of the natural world and to carry forward knowledge of salvation history with its outcome in the incarnation of Christ.
The Lord guides and strengthens us, keeping us firmly rooted in the faith. Throughout all the trials we endure in this troubled world, Christ is with us. The word of God inspires us in various ways, and through the Holy Spirit we gain knowledge, wisdom and discernment, maturing in the faith as citizens of the Kingdom of God.
Remain within the confines of God's kingdom. Stay on the straight and narrow path that leads to salvation. Do not look with longing towards the sunlit hills at every temptation. Too many have trodden the path to destruction, too many have fallen by the wayside.
The Christian life is about being transformed by Christ, being absorbed by him so that his teachings and his very presence guide our every motivation and action. Christ's love is mediated through us in the power of the Holy Spirit. We follow the leadings of the Spirit in order to renew and deepen our faith.
There is a wonderful symmetry involved in the divine-human relationship. Christ, the sinless one, is the embodiment of human perfection. Through his very nature as Son of God he brought mankind nearer to the Father. Through Christ, God shared in our humanity and he also made it possible for us to share in his divinity. Christ underwent the ultimate sacrifice to reconcile man to his creator, making it possible for God's plan of salvation to be brought to completion, inaugurating a New Covenant with mankind. We need to keep before us the astounding truth of his victory over evil on the Cross, through which mankind gained forgiveness and the freedom to live the gospel life infused with selfless love (cf 1 Corinthians 13.1-13).
Christ established a new reality, that to be justified by faith is a sacred identity. We are identified as Christians when we accept and appropriate the fullness of Christ. This requires a heroic response from human beings because it runs counter to human pride, the instinct for autonomy. The response must be underpinned by contrition and humility and it is brought to perfection by obedience. Once we take hold of Christ we become his disciples. Discipleship is a life-long commitment, a transforming friendship with Jesus. (Luke 9.23-26; John 15.14-17).
Christ's death and resurrection brings to mankind redemption and salvation to eternal life. Christ has opened the way for us to follow him to the perfect vision, far superior to the limitations and imperfections of our earthly existence. To consolidate the New Covenant with man, the Father has sent us the power to sustain us on our journey through the snares and pitfalls of this troubled world. This power is the Holy Spirit (John 14.16, 26). Christ's presence is manifested in the Holy Spirit. The Spirit reminds us of his teachings, works in our conscience when we fail, grants us perception when we read Holy Scripture, inspires us in our prayers and meditations, whispers to us in our silent spaces, strengthens us in times of adversity and provides us with prophetic speech. The Spirit empowers us in our various ministries and impels us to rise above the banalities and temptations of a world that is hostile to our sacred calling. (Mark 13.5-13; Romans 12.3-9; 1 Corinthians 12.4-11; Ephesians 4.7-13; James 1.16-18, 3.13-18; 1 Peter 3.13-17, 4.7-19).
The worldwide community of faith
Christians across the world have a common purpose: striving to live the Gospel life in the face of widespread indifference or open hostility to the teachings of Christ. The Christian faith is essentially counter-cultural yet many churches are now aligned with secular humanism, thus inflicting upon themselves the fatal wound of apostasy.
The enemy is no longer at the gates, he is within the citadel.
For our Spirit-filled life to succeed we are to distance ourselves from the corrupt influences of modern culture (1 John 2.15-17, 5.18-20). There are to be no half measures, no compromise with evil in any of its forms, no accommodation with other religions. This detachment is crucially important to safeguard the integrity of the Christian faith. These are perilous times. Christianity is under assault from atheistic humanism, the dominant force in social and political culture. Faced with this threat there is to be no weakening on our part. We are to profess the faith and demonstrate in our lives the true destiny of humankind, the freedom to love the Lord our God with all our heart, with all our soul and with all our strength, and to love our neighbour as ourselves. There is no higher ideal for man to attain (cf Mark 12.28-34; Romans 13.8-10).
The Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5-7) portrays Christ as the new Moses, but he far exceeds all the prophets and patriarchs of old by his uniquely divine provenance and his destiny as Saviour of the world. He is not only the promised Messiah, he is also Priest, Prophet and King. His teachings lead us into the Kingdom of God, into a realm of love, creating a priesthood of believers (1 Peter 2.1-10). We yearn for the promised homeland above where our labours will be rewarded by eternal peace (2 Peter 3.8-14).
The Beatitudes (Matthew 5.1-12) are a concise presentation of the Christian ethos, describing the blessed virtues essential to life in the Spirit. They are the supreme ethical and moral guide to Christian life and discipleship, illuminating our path in the human maze. They set out the Christian way of life, lived in response to Christ through faith. We strive to uphold values intrinsic to human dignity, stable family life and the maintenance of social order: humility, gentleness, compassion, justice, peace, integrity, courage and witness. All the blessings of the kingdom are encapsulated in the Beatitudes.
Christ came to fulfil the Law and the Prophets (Matthew 5.17-19). The validity of the Ten Commandments remains (Exodus 20.1-17). In the Beatitudes Christ describes the spirit in which the Commandments are to be lived in both church and society. They exemplify Christian discipleship. They are echoes of the divine, revealing Christ in his perfection. They define the inward motivations of integrity and love that characterise discipleship, as well as the blessed rewards of faithful service in Christ's name. Our acts of charity and mercy spring from a heart filled with selfless love founded on the teachings of Christ and energised by the Holy Spirit.
The teachings of Christ are uncompromisingly radical. They are employed to combat philosophies that erode the dignity of man: consumerism (money and possessions bring happiness); relativism (there is no absolute truth); secularism (a world view without God); existentialism (life has no purpose). In the midst of these evils the Gospel shines like a beacon of truth. And through it all we persevere in the name of Christ, despite the difficulties we encounter on our journey of faith (1 Peter 4.12-19). God will restore, confirm, strengthen and establish us in times of adversity (1 Peter 5.10-11).
Our faith is a wonderful gift to possess and convey to others, and discipleship places on us a sacred responsibility. It is a joy and a holy privilege to walk with Jesus, to be in his loving presence in a life of Christian service (Luke 10.23-24; John 15.1-17; Ephesians 4.7-16).

Amazon has announced a new service called AWS Certificate Manager, offering free SSL/TLS certificates for AWS resources. Back in June, GeekWire reported that Amazon had applied to become a root certificate authority, and now it is clear what that application was for.
Secure Socket Layer (SSL) / Transport Security Layer (TLS) certificates enable encrypted communication over a network, most often between a web server and a web browser. These certificates are purchased from third-party certificate providers like Symantec, Comodo and RapidSSL and can cost $50 to hundreds of dollars, depending on the level of identity verification performed.
Offering free SSL certificates for AWS resources is going to grab the attention of developers. Many spend hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars each year to obtain and renew certificates. Now an AWS developer can add free certificates to run their applications on services like Elastic Load Balancer and Amazon CloudFront distributions.
The process of obtaining a new certificate has always been messy, requiring the generation of a Certificate Signing Request on the server being protected, sending that request to a certificate provider, and then installing the certificate once it is received. Since Amazon is managing the whole process, all of that goes away and certificates can be quickly issued and provisioned on AWS resources automatically.
Certificate renewal is another pain point that AWS hopes to solve. Tracking certificate renewal dates, making sure that payment methods are current and then installing the renewal certificate can be more painful that obtaining the original certificate. Many developers has mistakenly let a certificate lapse, bringing down their application for users.
There are limitations to the certificates. Amazon only provides domain validated certificates, a simple verification where domain validation takes place via email. Extended validation certificates are not available, so banks and other websites with sensitive personal data may stick with their current certificate providers. In addition, the certificates cannot be used for code signing or email encryption.
The move is smart, designed to increase developer loyalty and retention on AWS. It will be interesting to see if Microsoft and Google follow suit and add SSL certificate services to Azure and Cloud Platform.

Does breakfast really decrease weight?
As opposed to what is being traded among those looking for ways to lose weight, experts have concluded that the common idea that not eating breakfast contributes to gaining weight does not mean that eating a morning meal may help you lose weight.
The researchers examined data from 13 clinical trials, mostly in the United States and Britain, in 30 years, some taking breakfast, while others did not.
The review found that those who ate breakfast gained more calories and more weight than those who ignored the meal.
The results may be surprising for those who follow a diet, as those who ate breakfast earned 260 calories more daily than those who avoided the meal and increased their weight by 0.44 kg on average.
"There is a belief that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, but that is not the case," she said Flavia Sikotini, a senior researcher at Monash University in Melbourne, Australia.
"Calories are calories no matter what time they eat, and people should not eat if they do not feel hungry," Sikotini told Reuters news agency.
The researchers wrote in the British Medical Journal that some previous studies have checked whether breakfast has an impact on the metabolism, or the number of calories burned by the body. But researchers found no significant differences in whether or not they ate breakfast.
But Tim Spector, a researcher at King's College London, who wrote an editorial accompanying the study, said that the lower calorie consumption associated with not eating breakfast suggests that this approach was successful for some who follow a diet.
"Each one of us is unique, so the benefits of carbohydrates and fats may differ depending on the genes and microorganisms of the body and metabolic rate," he said in an e-mail.

Arqiva brings high-speed connectivity to public spaces in the London boroughs
Arqiva has been awarded the exclusive rights to provide outdoor wireless connectivity to residents and visitors to Camden, Wandsworth, Hounslow, Islington and Hammersmith & Fulham.
- Telephone
- +44 (0) 207 632 3800
The service will provide users with unlimited, free access to the council's online services 24/7 as well as providing the first 30 minutes of use per day for free.
The deployment of the WiFi service will take place over the next 12 months, starting in high footfall areas such as high streets. Making use of its already extensive portfolio of phone boxes, rooftops and other buildings, Arqiva will also incorporate street infrastructure made available by all five boroughs.
"We are delighted to be working with all five boroughs. Our partnership means that more than 1.1million residents, businesses and visitors to these areas will benefit from the fast connectivity which we all have come to expect, wherever we are."
"This project will involve the breadth of Arqiva's solutions and will see the combined deployment of WiFi and 3G/4G small cells to provide indoor and outdoor coverage across several London Boroughs. It is a very exciting partnership, which will complement the other locations in London where Arqiva already provides WiFi (hotels, restaurants, pubs, and shopping centres) to deliver a truly unique user experience."
"Our aim is to make Camden one of the most connected places in the country. This is great news for residents who will be able to access WiFi services in public and open spaces. It will also be a huge benefit to businesses who will be able to trial new advertising techniques to better target their customers.
"Our large number of visitors and tourists will benefit from being able to access online information about events nearby and find information to visit local shops, bars and restaurants."
Wandsworth council leader, Cllr Ravi Govindia, said:
"By giving our residents free access to the internet for the 30 minutes - and our site for as long as they like - we will make sure nobody loses out. It will also help our business community and mean all our young people - even those without internet access at home - can find out about training and employment opportunities."
"We are delighted that residents and visitors to Hounslow will soon benefit from free public WiFi in some of the busiest outdoor areas of the borough. We hope that it will help our diverse communities stay connected and ensure that our entrepreneurial and vibrant local economy continues to grow."
Cllr Greg Smith, H&F Council deputy leader said: "This is a fantastic deal for taxpayers and the council. We know that many of our residents still do not have online access, so this deal will open up a new digital world to them. This will make it easier than ever for our residents to get online. It will also make it easier for people to access council services online wherever they are and they will help us keep reducing council tax bills."

Protein On the Go!
Just Add Water!
RECOVERY WHEY SHAKE N TAKE is a powerful post-workout recovery formula. Post workout supplements are often misunderstood and therefore neglected but we can't stress enough that the period following training is essential to recovery and the prevention of muscle breakdown. If you don't take action during this critical window of opportunity (typically 30 minutes post-exercise) then you'll miss a key time to improve and reach your goals.
RECOVERY WHEY SHAKE N TAKE has been specially formulated with specific amounts of high glycemic carbohydrates and easily absorbed Creatine, L-Glutamine and HMB for rapid absorption to enhance recuperation and recovery. High concentrations of Branched Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs) replace the amino acids used during exercise and delay fatigue between regular bouts of exercise.
Beta-hydroxy beta-methylbutyrate (HMB) is an important metabolite of the essential branched chain amino acid (BCAA) L-Leucine. Human and animal studies suggest protein breakdown and support significant increases in muscle strength and size when combined with intense resistance training

Organisers of the Baxters Loch Ness Marathon and Festival of Running have announced that the massive sum of £661,119 was raised for charities from the 2009 event. The monies raised will benefit many local, national and worldwide causes, including the event's four nominated charities, Highland Hospice, Macmillan Cancer Support, Marie Curie Cancer Care and the Scottish Community Foundation, and over 35 other associated national and Scottish charities.
Over 7500 people entered the Baxters Loch Ness Marathon & Festival of Running which took place on 4 October 2009. Festival organiser, Malcolm Sutherland, said: We'd like to thank everyone who ran for charity at the Baxters Loch Ness Marathon & Festival of Running. The fantastic figure of £661,119 is the highest in the eight year history of the event and is a great achievement alongside the training and dedication of our runners. Its great to know that thousands of competitors are thinking of others and making the most of the opportunity to raise money for good causes.
Bill King, chief executive officer of Baxters, said: "We are delighted to continue our support of Baxters Loch Ness Marathon & Festival of Running, and to see the amount of cash raised for charity grow every year. Thank you to everyone who gave time and effort to contribute towards the superb total raised."
Laura Fernandez Diaz, regional events fundraiser for Marie Curie Cancer Care, said: "2009 was a fantastic year for Marie Curie Cancer Care at the Baxters Loch Ness Marathon & Festival of Running. With more Marie Curie runners than ever before, we had a fantastic time meeting and greeting all of our wonderful and dedicated supporters. This has also led to more funds being raised for the charity than ever before, so a big thank you to all our supporters. We'll be back in 2010 with our Daffodil Cheering team and our complimentary massage for Marie Curie Runners."
Hayley Short, event coordinator of Macmillan Cancer Support said: "We would like to say a big thank you to everyone who joined Team Macmillan and helped support people living with cancer in the UK. The event was a fantastic success, had a great charitable atmosphere and was fun to be a part of. Macmillan can't wait to be a part of it all again in 2010."
Charity places are available for this year's event, taking place on October 3, 2010. Visit the Official Loch Ness Marathon website for full details of how to enter and combine running with supporting your favourite cause.

You've heard of Stretch Armstrong, right? Well, there's now an even tougher fella in town: Stretch Batman - and he's seriously stretchy! This is selling up to $49.99 at some stores, but you can pick it up at Big W for just $23.20 right now!
Stretch figures are heaps of fun, and they're kind of like fidget toys in a sense, owing to the repetitive stretching. But, of course the beauty of this one is that it's Batman, and it doubles as an awesome toy for imaginative play.
Stretch Batman can be really stretched, and he won't break. Kids can tie him even tie him in knots, and he'll revert back to his perfect self.
No doubt about it, this is going to be a popular one for Batman fans this Christmas!
Standard shipping is $9.90.

Why Auto Sleepers caravans could appeal to consumers
The first ever range of Auto Sleepers caravans are set to be launched, coinciding with October's NEC Caravan and Motorhome Show.
And the verdict of Holly Tribe in CaravanTimes.co.uk might attract the attention of
caravan insurance
customers seeking a new vehicle in the months ahead.
She noted that the company are "diversifying and branching out into the touring caravan field", given the strength of the market as a whole.
From the beginning of October, buyers will be able to select from the AS Caravans range, with another edition planned for February 2011.
Ms Tribe suggested that the business will target its vehicles at "the higher end of the market".
The models set to arrive are called Mayfair, Kensington and Grosvenor, with all three versions being single axle tourers.
Elsewhere, Marcus Dubois in the same publication recently highlighted the popularity of the latest options from Swift Caravans.
He noted that the Lawns Caravan Show at Cottingham witnessed £3.5 million worth of sale for its range.
