Entry requirements
No particular subjects at A level (or equivalent) are required for Theology, Religion, and Philosophy of Religion and it is not necessary to have studied Religious Studies or Philosophy at AS or A level. Subjects such as Religious Studies, Ethics, History, English and languages can be helpful, but so can any other subjects that encourage clear, logical thinking and careful analysis of evidence. Students with a completely science background study for the degree and do very well. We have some student profiles to show you some of the different combinations our students have studied.
There are some subject combinations which the university advises against. This booklet is produced by the university to help you make informed choices: The Subject Matters. Some colleges may require you to have studied an essay-based subject. Please check individual college webpages for this information.
If you aren't studying religion or philosophy at the moment, you may wish to supplement your knowledge of the area by browsing the introductory reading lists for new students.
Our entry requirements are A*AA at A-level or 40-42 points with 776 at Higher Level for IB; more information is available on the University's Undergraduate Study pages.
You do not need to be religious, non-religious or have any particular beliefs. We are looking for interest, engagement, and a demonstrable belief that religions (for better or worse) are important in the world.
How do I apply?
The Application
Your application will be made via the UCAS form, and includes details of your current subjects and grades, teachers' references, and a personal statement. It is worth remembering that the closing date for applications to Cambridge is on 15 October, earlier than for other universities. Don't leave it too late!
All applications for undergraduate degrees are handled by the individual colleges that make up the University of Cambridge. The University has an excellent admissions website which will guide you through the process. We welcome students from all over the world. If you are an international applicant, please refer to the relevant pages on the Cambridge Admissions website.
Many applicants worry a great deal over whether they have chosen the 'right' College for their application. The admissions process for Theology, Religion, and Philosophy of Religion is designed to ensure that it really does not matter which College you apply to: strong candidates will have a good chance of gaining a place at one of the Colleges in the University.
When making decisions about who to admit, we will take into account all of the information on the UCAS form as well as your interview, the quality of any essays which you submit in advance, and your performance in the at-interview assessment. More details about all of these elements can be found below.
Assessments and Interviews
"Although applying can seem daunting, I enjoyed narrowing down my preferences and really focusing on the reasons why I am interested in what I am interested in. The interview was great fun as well - although it is a scary prospect, those twenty minutes fly by and are a really great opportunity to talk about what you are passionate about."
Hannah, first year student
At-interview assessment exercise
If you are invited to interview (about 80% of applicants) you will take part in a 60 minute assessment exercise when you come to Cambridge in December.
It will take the form of a pre-recorded sample lecture. This will give you an opportunity to demonstrate how you have developed academically since you took your GCSEs. It will be skills-based, looking at your comprehension and writing skills, but will not assume any prior knowledge. It is worth remembering that this exercise is only one element in a large range of different types of information which are used to make an admission decision.
The purpose is to determine a candidate's potential to achieve in an academically demanding undergraduate degree course. The assessment is designed to be challenging, in order to differentiate effectively between able applicants, including those who may have achieved the highest grades in school examinations. The exercise will take one hour and consists of two sections:
Section 1
Candidates will watch a brief video of a sample lecture in the Faculty of Divinity on a subject related to religion. Candidates will be expected to make notes during this.
Section 1 will last for approximately 20 minutes.
Section 2
Candidates will provide written answers to a series of comprehension questions about the content of the video. Marks are not deducted for incorrect answers, so candidates are advised to answer all questions. It will be skills based and no prior knowledge of any particular religion will be assumed. The purpose of this exercise is to allow the candidates to show recall, comprehension and analytical skills in respect to a lecture.
Section two will last for approximately 40 minutes.
The latest Assessment Exercise is available here:
We have three more informal sample lectures available for you to familiarise yourself with the exercise and to practise your comprehension and recall skills:
- The Gospel of Judas
- The Study of Contemporary Religion
- The Concept of Divine Intimacy in Hindu Bhakti
School Essays
Applicants to the following Colleges are also required to submit one or two School/college essays as examples of written work prior to interview. See individual College websites for further details.
- Christ's
- Clare
- Corpus Christi
- Downing
- Emmanuel
- Fitzwilliam
- Girton
- Gonville and Caius
- Homerton
- Jesus
- King's
- Lucy Cavendish
- Magdalene
- Murray Edwards
- Newnham
- Pembroke
- Peterhouse
- Queens'
- Robinson
- St Catharine's
- St John's
- Selwyn
- Sidney Sussex
- Trinity
- Trinity Hall
- Wolfson
80% of applicants are interviewed here in Cambridge. If you are travelling to Cambridge, you will be offered accommodation during the interview period, which is usually one or two days long, and always takes place in December.
The Faculty has an Admissions Co-ordinator who will receive a copy of every application for Theology, Religion, and Philosophy of Religion across the Colleges. Before the interviewing begins, all of the Colleges meet to consider the whole field of applicants. At that meeting, each candidate is assigned an interview at a second College - this process not only compensates for peaks and troughs in applications to particular Colleges but also gives you a second chance, with a different interviewer, who may draw out a different response. To see a mock interview, see the Interviews in Action page.
Applicants are interviewed in all Colleges on the same two days. Immediately afterwards the Directors of Studies meet again to compare notes; at this point they flag up to colleagues strong applicants for whom they might not have room at their College, but who deserve a place at another College. The Second Interview Scheme has proved to be very successful: over the last few years one offer in four has been made in this way.
Strong applicants who have not been made an offer by their first choice College are placed in the 'Pool'. You might then be made an offer by your second interview College, or by another College which is happy to rely on the information already available. It is possible that a third College might ask you to a further interview in January.

Valuing the Effects of Expansion
Right of Way
Expanding our transportation system often requires the acquisition of private property for public uses. The law not only requires just compensation for acquisitions, but it encourages acquisition by agreement to avoid litigation and assure consistent treatment of property owners. The ability to reach agreement in a timely manner is founded on a comprehensive, accurate, and defensible appraisal.

So, I quickly decided on an industrial switching layout. This was new to me, so I hit the internet and did some research. I kept coming back again and again to some concepts and even web sites. These were my inspiration.
When it comes to model railroading, I'm very visual, so a number of images impressed me and shaped my decisions.
My first glimpse came in the form of a blog post. http://cs.trains.com/TRCCS/themes/trc/forums/thread.aspx?ThreadID=182757&PostID=1999993&PermaPostID=1999993
Ness Street Yard was particularly interesting.
I also hit upon Carl Ardent's Small Layout Scrapbook. It had a different quality to it, one I would not appreciate until almost a year later. More on that in a following post.
I bought some track on eBay and started down Ness Street. After a couple of hours of fiddling, I decided to simplify and went more in the direction of the switcher from Gateway NMRA – Gateway Central XV. They have some great information on their club web site. I had a little more space, so I expanded their trackplan slightly. http://www.gatewaynmra.org/project15.htm
I had not really done an intercity layout before, so I gathered all the information I could. I did notice that there was more information, materials, and kits available for urban settings than when I had packed my things away all those years ago.
I eventually found a gem of a resource. "Building City Scenery" by John Pryke. I still use it as a reference book. http://www.amazon.com/Building-City-Scenery-Railroad-Railroader/dp/0890243433/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1329801927&sr=1-1
Other urban layouts caught my eye and motivated me to up my game.
– Wolfgang Dudler's Westport Terminal RR http://www.westportterminal.de/wt.html
– Kevin Klettke's Washington Northern Tideflats District
And I found some real eye candy with
– Vic Smith's City Edge http://www.railroad-line.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=26770
– Peter Feigenbaum gritty Brooklyn modeling http://www.vestaldesign.com/projects/modelrr/
So off it was to turn a piece of plywood into a gritty city scape I've named South Side Industrial District – a freelance, modern urban switching railroad.
Look for a consolidated page of links on the homepage coming soon.

A day out at Wisley Diana Capel
Sunday 7th September Jeff and I joined the members and guests of Duston Garden
Club on a coach trip to the RHS Garden at Wisley on the last day of the Flower
and National Dahlia Society Shows
arrived at about 11.15am and after having a cup of coffee and some of our packed
lunch we did a tour of the Flower Show, there were over 70 stalls full of plants
and gardening related things. Some of the plants were beautiful and unusual and
a lot were new to the market. I would have loved some of them but unfortunately
my purse would not stretch that far and I would have been upset if I had got
them home and they had died after paying so much for them. There was one Cactus
Stall belonging to Richard and Sheena Drane, who had quite a lot for sale. We
didn't buy any though.
|Cacti and succulents in the temperate section of the Wisley Conservatory.
the Flower Show we went to the National Dahlia Society Show. I had never seen so
many brilliant colours all in the same place before. It was an absolutely
spectacular sight and although it was the last day of the show the flowers still
looked nice and fresh. Beautiful.
this time the weather was very warm after a chilly morning first thing and we
made the long walk to the glasshouses where the cactus and succulents and
tropical plants are kept and displayed. Cacti, succulents, banana trees, water
lilies and orchids plus many other trees, shrubs and plants are all in there.
the glasshouses we made our way back to the main area, stopping along the way to
finish off our lunch, Reaching the Plant Centre this was a place where I could
have spent a long time but time was short before we had to get back on the coach
for the homeward journey. However, I did manage to purchase quite a few plants
at prices I could afford. All that is left to do now is plant them in the garden
and hope they survive.
on the coach, hot and tired, we reflected on the day and felt that it had been
well worth the effort and we had thoroughly enjoyed it.

So the seller of the unit we were looking at screwed us over by saying he's no longer interested to sell. He had avoided calls from us and our agent for 3 days before finally picking up my call and breaking the news to me. To make matters worse, we've already sold this flat! So basically now we are "homeless" and the mad rush is on to search for another unit in the McNair area – so as to be close to the in-laws and still be living in this highly accessible area without paying the exorbitant prices of the Towner/Bendemeer area.
Regardless, I am occupying my Hubs-less nights by surfing local interior designer companies and looking at their portfolios. I've seen some ideas that I would love to have in my new home (even though we haven't even found a place), and it's keeping me pretty perked up about moving. Usually I find moving home a real drag due to the packing/shifting/unpacking/organising process, but this upcoming one is going to be fully decided by us with quite a roomy budget for renovations!
I am looking at having a huge shoe cabinet, a decent walk-in wardrobe, a living room that can actually hold guests and TWO bathrooms! Yay! Solo bathroom days will be a distant memory come 2012, and I am damn glad for that. And for once, my master bedroom will actually have a bathroom of its own! A proper proper master bedroom!
Yes. It is obvious I am very hyped up about moving. Now the only matter is finding and buying the intended flat. I can't wait to have all the elements of my dream home in our next flat! A "proper" home I can call my own!
It's shocking how I don't enjoy this dingy little space but it actually sold for $380k. 😆

The Other Side of Free
August 28, 2008 at 6:13 pm 4 comments
I was partially inspired by this post, but I feel like there are some aspects not covered.
Obviously, just because something is free doesn't mean you should take it. As a city dweller, my biggest expense, far and away, is rent. Since I live alone now, I obviously don't need as much space. One of my goals right now is to declutter and get rid of as much as possible. For this, free can be really bad. When you have 17 free t-shirts, 32 free cleaning samples, etc etc then all of a sudden you need a closet just for your free samples. And that will cost you.
On the other hand, free can be good for clutter. If you only use a very small amount of cleaning wipes, a free sample packet will save space over a large box. And swaps are the best of both worlds. I mentioned the clothing swap before. Right now I am looking forward to a book swap. It has also reminded me that I need to go through the 20 or so books I haven't read, and decide which ones to keep. I am trying to only keep books that I really feel a need to have around, like the books I re-read all the time or that I need to make everyone I know read. Also, and this is sad, sometimes I keep them because they are pretty, but only if I also really like them. I get way too many books to keep every book I like.
Free is also bad when you are sacrificing to get it. I personality cannot deal with getting a mattress from a stranger on craigslist, even though I know I could have gotten one for free. It's too gross for me. Sometimes if you go with the free option you are picking something that will make you dissatisfied.
And with some things, like free animals, you pay a whole lot for something free. But they are worth it.
For example:
Shea. My cat, who has cost my a couple hundred dollars since May. And well worth every penny.
On the other hand, now that I have learned she will use the cheap brand of litter & it won't be bad for her, no more expensive stuff.

Very good thoughts. I need to buck up and plan a clothing swap already. You kitty is very cute!
I am trying to get on board with the whole "don't take stuff just cuz it's free" thing. But it's really hard. So. I now only try to take free things if they are books and/or I will use them within two months.
Also, much harder for me: just because you have something doesn't mean you have to keep it. It's OKAY to get rid of books once I read them. It's okay to get rid of free samples of food I will never eat.
(also, I am trying to apply the get rid of at least one thing for every one thing I bring into the house.)

Somethin' Stupid was originally released by Carson and Gaile on their 1966 album San Antonio Rose; but a much better known version was recorded the following year by Nancy Sinatra and Frank Sinatra as a single and was included on the 1967 Frank Sinatra album The World We Knew; and the song became a hit again in 2001 when it was recorded by Robbie Williams and Nicole Kidman also as a single and was included on the 2001 Robbie Williams album Swing When You're Winning. This is an instrumental arrangement for solo classical guitar that is easily recognisable as this well known song but with some interesting new additions to the accompaniment.

What does global climate have to do with erosion rates?
For the last several decades, Geoscientists have been intrigued by a potential link between erosion rates at the Earth's surface and changes in global climate. What was the cause and what the effect remained unclear. However, a new study now calls into question the link itself. A team of researchers from the GFZ German Research Centre for Geosciences in Potsdam, the University Potsdam, University of Grenoble, and University of Edinburgh re-examined 30 locations with reported accelerated erosion after the onset of glacial-interglacial cycles a few million years ago. In nearly all of the locations, the proposed link between erosion and global climate could not be confirmed. Their study appear in the current issue of Nature.
The basic ideas sound convincing: Faster erosion rates can lead to faster silicate weathering and efficient burial of organic carbon in sedimentary basins, both of which can induce global cooling by removing CO2 from the atmosphere. On the other hand, a global increase in erosion rates over the last several million years was associated with glacial-interglacial cycles. This was proposed on the basis of accelerated worldwide sedimentation rates in the oceans. Glaciers scraping off landscapes and subsequent warmings that lead to meltwater transporting sediment into the sea are plausible causes for increased sediment-accumulation rates.
Yet, other studies have indicated that global erosion rates may have remained steady over this time period, and that the apparent increased sediment-accumulation rates are due to the irregularities in how sediments are deposited in space and time, and because older deposits are more likely to be lost by erosion compared to younger deposits."
More recently, a global compilation of thermochronology data, which tracks the cooling history of rocks as they move toward the surface, has been used to infer a nearly two-fold erosion-rate increase from mountainous landscapes over the last several million years. So the link between glacial-interglacial cycles and faster erosion seemed to be confirmed – until a team of researchers from the GFZ, led by Taylor Schildgen, and from the Universities of Potsdam, Grenoble, and Edinburgh re-examined the 30 locations with reported accelerated erosion based on thermochronology.
Their analysis shows that in 23 of these locations, the reported increases are a result of what they term a "spatial correlation bias"; i.e., combining data with disparate cooling histories, a process that converts spatial variations in erosion rates into temporal increases. In most cases, the disparate cooling histories result because data points were combined across major tectonic boundaries (faults). In four other locations, the increases can be explained by accelerated tectonic deformation (i.e., faster mountain-building processes), rather than climatic changes.
Together, these 27 erroneous out of 30 proposed links between faster erosion and climate can be explained by neglecting the local context of the data in the earlier analysis, a dangerous potential pitfall in big-data analysis. In only three cases, climatically induced accelerations are recorded, driven by localized glacial-valley incision.
The team's findings suggest that thermochronology data currently have insufficient resolution to assess if climate change over the last several millions years affected erosion rates on a global scale. They conclude that currently, no data provide clear support for the hypothesized link between faster erosion and global cooling. Nonetheless, a synthesis of local findings that include location-specific information may help to further investigate drivers of global cooling and erosion rates.

They're Transmitted By Mosquitos
Dogs don't get heartworms from other dogs. Instead, mosquitos transmit heartworm larvae from dog to dog via infected blood. Fido can contract heartworms almost anywhere, even in his own doggy bed. Your pet doesn't even have to come into contact with other pooches to be infected.
They're Undetectable At First
Since heartworms are in larval form when they first infest a dog, you won't see any immediate symptoms. In fact, the worms can't even be detected until about 5-6 months after infection.
Coughing is one of the earliest symptoms. Other signs of infestations include fatigue, weight loss, and shortness of breath.
Cats Get Them Too
Although dogs are the usual target for heartworms, cats can and do get infested. Kitties aren't ideal hosts for these disgusting parasites, so they rarely have adult worms. However, it is still important to keep your feline pal safe by keeping up with her preventative care products.
They Can Be Deadly
As heartworms grow, they take up residence in dogs' hearts, lungs, and arteries. This can be very dangerous, as the worms will interfere with Fido's vital functions. Left untreated, infestations can cause heart attacks and, unfortunately, are often fatal.
Treatment Is Available, But Not Easy
Heartworm treatments can be costly, and can also be pretty tough on Man's Best Bud. Fido may have to be kenneled to ensure that he doesn't overexert himself. Your pup may also have to take some very powerful medications. In some cases, surgery may be required.
Protecting Pets Is Simple
Fortunately, all you have to do to keep your canine pal safe from heartworms is keep up with his preventative care products. There are now several types of heartworm medication available. However, since the medicines that prevent infestations don't kill live worms, Fido may need to be tested before starting his parasite control regimen. Ask your vet for more information on heartworm prevention.
Does your furry friend need heartworm medication? Call us today! As your local London, ON pet hospital, we are here to help!

Rebirth of the Wild Soul – Women Circle
My heart, my soul and my body are calling me to create this circle. To be more accurate, I sense that the magical circle already exists, it just needs to be brought to life. I am inviting you to co-create the space where miracles happen among mandarin trees and where wild feminine souls are awakening in between sweet and earthy flavours of herbs. Because the circle is going to take place in a beautiful and very magical garden 'Miristiko', which happens to be in my village - Kolossi.
My deepest intention is that during the circle we'll learn to love more, value and celebrate ourselves rather than judge.
And we'll start living in a greater alignment with the Wild Soul and allow Her to express herself in us more fully and create through us. (Whether it is creating a cake, a family, a lovely evening, a healing conversation, a business with soul, a painting or any other wonder so needed in this world)
The circle is a space where YOUR magic unfolds.
It is a space for women, who crave deeper connection with their soul's truth and desires
The circle invites women who want to feel Life deeply
Who want to express their soul-centered creativity
Who feel called to reconnect with the wisdom of their bodies and invite more pleasure and intuition in
Who recognize the healing power of sisterhood.
So what will be happening during the circle?
Magic. Love. Connection. Reclamation.
We will be exploring ancient myths and legends but not on an intellectual level but on a soul level. We'll allow the ancient stories to awaken something in us.
We will be sharing from the heart with no judgement and complete acceptance to everything that needs to be expressed.
We will be meditating and exploring healing power of body movement.
We will enjoy simple beautiful rituals that help to open ourselves to the mystery of Life.
Once formed, the Circle becomes a container for truth telling and sacred witnessing, healing and transformation.
If it resonates with you and your Heart is calling you to step into the circle – wonderful! Join us and bring your magic with you!
If it all sounds a bit surreal... If you are accustomed to living in your head rather than in your body... If your culture, family or religion conditioning made you believe that there is something not quite right with being fully alive in your body, prioritizing joy and pleasure, open to full range of feelings and experiences… being in the circle might be the exact medicine you need.
The circle will start mid-February. Morning group will be meeting on Tuesdays at 10 a.m. – 12 a.m. and evening group on Thursdays at 6 p.m. – 8 p.m.
The dates for the morning group are:

As a freelance writer, there's no limit to how much I can earn.
The only obstacle I have to overcome is myself.
My earnings depend on how hard and smart I work. There are times when I didn't work, which resulted in me not having enough money for that week.
However, as I constantly find ways to acquire more job opportunities to increase my cash flow, I was able to make more money than I initially imagined.
I believe that freelancing, in general, is an on-going process. There's no time for you to rest on your laurels after earning x amounts of dollars in a month. There's always a chance that your clients will leave you for whatever reasons, leaving you handicapped for this coming month.
While this process can be seen in a negative light, I'd look at it as a challenge instead. The ability to innovate and find ways to sustain your income, if not grow, is one of the most attractive things I see in freelancing. I fell in love with the dynamic world that freelancing offers. After all, if freelancing were easy, then people would have left their corporate jobs eons ago to pursue a freelancing career.
With these things in mind, I challenged myself at the beginning of the year. Initially, my goal is to quadruple my income. As most people are hopeful for the year ahead, I felt capable of achieving that goal because I was coming from such a great momentum at the end of the previous year. At that point, there was no doing wrong, and it was only a matter of time before I hit my goals within this year.
However, as months progressed and my momentum cooled off, so did my income. Not only did I fail to increase my income incrementally, but I lost some money in the process!
Click on the links below to jump to that section on the page
What went wrong?
Short answer: a lot.
My attitude towards work didn't change. I was still as passionate when it comes to freelance writing. I continually sought out different ways to find more clients whom I can help. I always looked for better ways to improve my writing skills and provide value to my clients.
However, the real problems stem from the things that didn't change:
The "shiny object" syndrome
My proclivity to find ways to make more money as a freelance writing took a wrong turn when I started dabbling in niche blogging. Throughout my career as a writer, I've always been enamored with making money through blogging.
What attracted me to it was the ability to earn passive income. Instead of working for clients to earn my salary, a well-developed niche blog should help generate money by itself. The blogs sustain for themselves – I don't have to double-check and update them all the time because they can manage without little supervision.
Also, blogging is not that far off from freelance writing. It is still primarily writing and managing content on a CMS or blogging platform, which I have a great deal of experience with. The transition should be easy. I am aware that it won't make me money immediately, but the prospect of earning passively once the blogs are up and running intoxicated me.
As my "shiny object," niche blogging was the death of me.
My plan for developing niche blogs was sound, but I did it wrong. I did most of the heavy lifting – buying expired, setting up the blogs, developing content ideas, and scheduling the posts for publishing – instead of delegating. I didn't have the capital to delegate the work to the right people.
The process robbed me hours worth of work from jobs that pay me every month. As a result, since niche blogging is not part of my goal for the year, I quickly abandoned the project just as fast as I started it.
Starting from scratch
Before the middle of the year, a colleague reached out to me with a proposal to set up a digital agency for one of her clients. Aside from being a writer, it has been a dream of mine to own a digital agency and apply the experiences I've learned throughout the years for clients.
This reason is why GoSMRK was relaunched this year after being dormant for three years prior. Because of GoSMRK, I hastily decided to turn my professional site into a marketing blog instead.
All the potential clients that will come from this site will be funneled down to GoSMRK. The blog will serve as my way of influence people similar to the way that Harsh Agrawal does with his excellent blog, ShoutMeLoud.com. I also wanted to sell affiliate products from my blog as a way to test the waters of affiliate marketing.
However, by simply throwing away everything that I had at that point out the window because I wanted to fulfill my dream, I compromised on my current goal of quadrupling my income. GoSMRK was a brand new name, and I found myself having to build it up again from the bottom. It was a time-consuming and ultimately frustrating experience. I, unfortunately, put all eggs in the GoSMRK basket, which was a stupid thing to do. I was too excited to see beyond my shortsightedness because of the opportunity to live a dream.
Because of my errors, I was not attracting clients from my rebranded blog, and GoSMRK didn't pan out the way I expected during the first few months.
Not capitalizing on low hanging fruits
I have had the opportunity to work with really great clients who don't only pay well but also treat me as their equal. They see the value that I provide and come back for more writing projects. More importantly, they don't shortchange and lowball me with ridiculous offers. It also helps to have experience on how to deal with difficulty and stingy clients, which I have.
Despite working with these clients on a long-term basis, the most significant mistake I have made with them is by not building a deeper relationship with them. They only see me as a writer when in fact, I can do more such as manage emails, grow their traffic, work on their social media accounts and more.
Initially, I wanted to specialize in writing so I can attract the right clients for my services which I fortunately have. Despite having fully developed skills in other digital marketing tasks, I promoted writing as my bread and butter. However, having carved good working relations with other clients, I failed to offer my other skills to them.
My inability to capitalize on these clients is born from staying the same through the years. Based on my experience, most of my clients come and go. After they order, I don't hear from them ever again. For the current clients I have, I just stay the course with them by not messing with the status quo. However, by not cultivating client relations, they only see me another replaceable spoke in their business while. Therefore, I need to find a way to transcend from being a spoke in an actual wheel.
What I did to make everything right
All the mistakes I've made this year has made me realize that I won't be able to meet my goal before the end of the year. As disappointing as it sounds, there is nowhere for me to go but forward. There's no point in dwelling the error of my ways. All I can do now is learn from my mistakes, so I don't have to commit them again.
During the middle of this year, I decided to pursue a different goal. Instead of quadrupling my income, I want to double my income instead. It's not the dramatic jump in profit I wanted to achieve, but it's a challenge nonetheless.
However, aside from learning from my mistakes, I wanted to stay hyper-focused to reaching my goals. I believe in myself and the things that I can do, but I want someone to help me become accountable for my actions. I want someone who won't be afraid to tell me when I'm shitting the bed. I am aware that there are things I won't be able to see as I continue with work. Having a fresh set of eyes look at my process will tremendously help me innovate my freelancing career.
Early this year, I tried bringing in an accountability partner to help me get my act straight. However, it was unsustainable for the long run because of the demands my partner and I had at work. Therefore, I needed to bring in counsel whose specialty is to help me improve my process so I can earn more.
This reason is why I hired a business coach.[clickToTweet tweet="Find out why hiring a business coach is the best decision I made as a #freelancer:" quote="Hiring a business coach is the best decision I made as a freelancer"]
It may sound strange to some, but a business coach works just as well for freelancers. Your career is a business in and of itself. So getting help from a person whose goal is to make sure you reach your business goals works just as well.
Who's the coach?
Finding a business coach is arguably the most challenging part of this journey. I met a business coach who was charging $1,000/month and a contract for eight months ($8,000 in total). While I did like the coach, the price was way above my pay grade.
After months of asking out colleagues and searching online, I found one that fits like a glove.
His name is Chris Riddell of Dreamboat, a company that offers business coaching, counseling, and consulting services.
Aside from his reasonable prices, what attracted me to Chris was the way he tackled my business problems with me. During our initial free call, I felt comfortable discussing my business with him, even without me knowing whether or not he has any experience or knowledge with my job. The call was easy going, and there was no pressure on his part on what I should do.
Instead, he dissects the words I say and asks which I said those things. From there, it opened a lot of thoughts that I wasn't conscious of that were affecting my decisions.
According to Chris, he acknowledges the fact that the answers that business owners ask are just right under their nose. All he does is lead them towards the possible solutions and help them make decisions from there.
As mentioned, Chris doesn't force the answers out of me. He didn't tell me what I should do. What he showed instead were things that I can do. He presented the many choices I have for my business and which ones I can take. From there, it helped me opened my eyes to the possibilities of growing my business further and earning more in the process.
Since then, I locked in with Chris (at least for a month) to see if he can help me achieve my goal of doubling my income.
What Chris' business coaching did to help me
When we started working together, I had gotten rid of the niche blogging itch that's been bothering me for so long. It was a sound idea but didn't achieve my desired goals given the reasons mentioned above. However, I've picked up a lot of things from him since working together for almost three months.
We talk an hour once a week about my week (four sessions a month). I can also shoot him an email with questions if need be. However, the hour-long conversions we have is kinda exhaustive and comprehensive enough that I don't have to email him at all. Whenever we chat, there are no stones left unturned, which leaves my head spinning. We pretty much dissect everything that happened the past week, and we discuss issues and obstacles that are keeping me from reaching my goal.
Below are just some of the things Chris helped me with my freelance business about my goals.
"If it ain't broke, why fix it?"
At the time, I just wanted to find ways on how I should grow my income through GoSMRK.
Chris asked why I wanted to build GoSMRK from scratch when I already have a great system in place. I was generating leads clients without even lifting a finger – they get hold of me from the articles I write for other clients through my site's contact form. By rebranding my site, I was permanently scrapping this system and start off fresh.
The more he talked about it, the more I fully understood the extent of my actions. I was shooting myself in the foot by rebranding my site and putting all my eggs in GoSMRK. Since my goal is to double my income, I just need to bring back the old process that was working so well for me.
Niche down
In addition to that, I need to position myself from a branding perspective so I can attract the ideal clients for my business. "Freelance writer" is not too specific enough and I'll be competing with arguably more capable writers than I am in this niche. Therefore, Chris mentioned that I need to narrow down my niche by targeting clients looking for digital marketing content and copy. Since most of my clients are on that spectrum and I have a portfolio that consists mostly of SEO, content marketing, and social media posts, I need to get more clients from that field.
Get more jobs
Actively applying for jobs is one of the things I hate doing the most. It takes you so much time and effort only to not be accepted at all. However, if I want to grow my income, I should sweat this one out. While it's not the sexiest task in the world, landing a new job means a higher income. Diligently combing through the list of writing jobs on Problogger, Freelance Writing Jobs, Bloggingpro, and more is something that I should be doing more and more.
Another reason why I hated applying for jobs is its repetitive nature. I merely browse and look for jobs to apply for. I send over email templates that I tweak depending on the needs of the application. It's a task that, while easy, is hard to take seriously. Which brings me to another point:
Delegate to staff smartly
Despite being a writer by trade, I'm not ashamed to admit that I enlist help from other writers with projects that I have. It's true that I don't personally write all the articles (but I edit them accordingly before submitting them to clients). However, I find that working with equally capable writers help me increase my productivity and allows me to take up more projects and spread them evenly to all. More importantly, I provide promising writers a platform where they can polish their craft and earn a reasonable amount of money in the process.
That said, Chris mentioned that I must utilize my writing staff to the best of their abilities. The goal is to always work with highly talented writers so I can maintain the quality of writing without spending hours editing each work. However, working with writers who fulfill a specific requirement for the client works just as well. The point is that the writers should help me achieve my job much better and reach my goals much easier.
Aside from writers, I am also working with a VA who will manage menial tasks related to my business such as applying for job boards, promoting my content across different social platforms, and more. Chris wants me to delegate all of the non-writing jobs so I can give my 100% on all writing tasks.
So did it work?
A simple "yes" or "no" won't suffice. Since the goal is to double my income, the effectiveness of Chris' coaching services is determined by how much I've earned since taking him up as coach.
To help answer this question, here's a screen capture of my PayPal account:
Not only were as my sales higher and transactions lower compared to last year, but there a significant jump in sales since August, around the time when I hired Chris as my business coach. And we're not yet done with this year!
So, does that answer the question? Just like Chris, I won't point you to the answer as you can easily see for yourself 🙂
However, the fixes he made for me as explained isn't as simple as they do. It took me total focus to wake up every day with a clear purpose in mind. I had to brush off things that were keeping me from being productive (goodbye, Netflix). More importantly, I had to generate long-term projects with clients for me to create a sustainable business and be able to predict my monthly income.
Again, the answers are just in front of you. It's just a matter of grabbing and running with it so you can achieve the success you deserve as a freelancer (writer or not)!
So what should do you next?
If you're a freelancer who has been slugging it out this past year, then I'm sure you want to multiply your income to end the year strong or enter next year on a high note. Like I said earlier, it's entirely up to you how much you want and can earn on a regular.
The fact that you read this post means that you're interested in getting the most out of your freelancing career. I mean, who doesn't?
If that's the case, then I highly suggest that you hire Chris Riddell to be your business coach.
If you prefer a loose, conversion-style approach to coaching that puts the focus on your end-goal, then Chris is your man. Nay, he's the man.
Throughout my time working with him, he didn't once impose anything on me. Nor was he angry or frustrated if I wasn't able to follow he advise or suggestion. What he's focused on is getting you into a mindset that will set your blinders on so all you can see is the goal ahead. From here, we will help parse your everyday lives and help you fashion a daily or regular habit that allows you to get nearer to your goal.
"So what does Chris need from me?"
It's simple. Throughout my conversations with him, Chris throws shade on the crippling amount that certain coaches charge their clients. This reason is why he focuses on providing business coaching that brings home the bacon without putting the stress on your budget.
For $250AUD, here's what you can expect to get from him:
- Weekly hour-long Skype calls (four to five times a month)
- Free-flowing or structured conversations (depends on the kind of chat you have with him)
- Potential weekly assignments that you need to do to achieve your goals
- His expertise in business processes and financial management
Chris' coaching and consultation services are deceptively simple, but it works nonetheless. It is effective well for me because I wanted to grow my income. I'm tired of settling for a comfortable salary especially since I know that I can do more. Chris helped me turn my desire into reality. If you share the same thoughts, then you should hire Chris as your coach.

Title: Power trip: sport and media
Authors: David Rowe
Addresses: Centre for Cultural Research (CCR), University of Western Sydney, Parramatta Campus, Locked Bag 1797, Penrith South DC NSW 1797, Australia
Abstract: This article is concerned with two subjects that have an important bearing on sport management and marketing – media power in sport and the power of the media in society. These themes are examined closely, because a failure to appreciate the role of the media in sport is both a professional failing and an abdication of social responsibility. While the media|s impact on sport is undeniable and inevitable, this does not mean that their relationship is determined and immutable. Sport would be unrecognisable today without the media, but the consequences of permitting one major social institution to merge with – and perhaps colonise – another, need to be explored and analysed. This article sets out to perform this task through a critical analysis of broadcast sport and an empirical content analysis of the sport pages of Australian newspapers, as part of the largest international survey of the sports press yet conducted.
Keywords: sport management; sport marketing; media; power; broadcasting; cultural citizenship; sports hierarchy; gender; Australia; sport pages; Australian newspapers; sports press; broadcast sport.

text: Share: Comments Print August 3, 2010 at 9:46 AM Is Matthew Bryan-Amaning the next Quincy Pondexter? Posted by Percy Allen Had a chance to talk to Washington assistant Paul Fortier about incoming senior Matthew Bryan-Amaning (left) who is playing this summer for the Great Britain national team that's trying to qualify for the EuroBasket 2011 tournament. Last July former Husky star Quincy Pondexter played for Team USA in the World University Games in Belgrade, Serbia. He credited the international experience for improving his confidence and said it helped propel him towards one of the finest seasons in UW history. Fortier is hesitant to predict a similar outcome for Bryan-Amaning, but when asked if there's any comparison, he said: "I certainly hope so. … I know he wanted to make that team and he did. You don't want to get cut. I don't think the coach had seen him play before so he was going in there. They just invited him and he ended up making that team. I thought that was huge and confidence wise that should be good. I think he's going to get ready for a good senior year." Bryan-Amaning, a 6-9 foward, is a returning starter and one of three seniors who figures to play a pivotal role for the Huskies next season. Fortier said he would have liked him to have participated in the open runs this summer with other UW players on campus, but understands Bryan-Amaning had a chance to fulfill a lifelong dream. Photo credit:Seattle Times / Cliff DesPeaux "It's not like Matt is not doing anything," Fortier said. "He's playing for his country and I think when guys get those opportunities and we hopefully will get some other players from different countries as well. And coach (Lorenzo) Romar is not the type of guy that's going to hold guys back when they get the opportunity to play for their country or play (for) 20-under (team) or whatever. He stayed here all of last year and he made an effort to hit the weights and he basically didn't go home in the summer. We remember that so I'm fine." Bryan-Amaning didn't play Monday, but according to published reports in London, he's impressed observers in England. He averaged 10.2 points in five exhibitions with Britain's senior team. Fortier said he's been keeping in contact with Bryan-Amaning through texts. Before Bryan-Amaning left in June, they worked on improving his perimeter shot, extending his range to 15-17 feet and practiced several pick-and-pop situations. Said Fortier: "We want Matthew to be better in his weak areas, but for sure we didn't forget where he's strong at as well. We want to make sure he's rebounding the ball and shooting a pretty good percentage. If he does that, he'll be fine. … We're not going to say now that Matt is going to turn into a face-the-basket guy. We know his strengths. He knows his strengths. Yes we want him to get better in other areas and we hope that becomes a part of his game." Fortier also commented on UW's other post players. — Junior college transfer Aziz N'Diaye is getting acclimated to Washington's academic and offseason training program. He's a regular participant in the open runs. He's also playing in the Green Lake summer league. Fortier has been impressed with his diligent work ethic. — Tyreese Breshers recently returned to Montlake for summer school. He's reportedly in better shape than he was at the end of the season and his conditioning continues to be a priority in offseason workouts. He did a lot of running on the beach when he was home in Los Angeles. — Darnell Gant had been at UW for the first summer school session, but went home to Los Angeles recently. He's working out with Justin Holiday in LA. — Incoming freshman Desmond Simmons has built a reputation as a hard worker in open runs and in the weight room. — Brendan Sherrer is working Romar's basketball skills camp at Hec Ed after spending some time in Alaska fishing. TUESDAY LINKS: — The Arizona Daily Star gives an update on offseason workouts for the Wildcats and says transfer Jesse Perry, a 6-8 forward, has been hampered after suffering a minor back strain in a car accident in March. — In case you missed it, former UCLA star Tyus Edney is returning to Westwood to become the Bruins' men's basketball director of operations. — The New York Times takes a look at basketball power broker World Wide Wes aka William Wesley and speculates his influence may diminish because he's established formal ties with an agency. Note: Thanks to everyone for the e-mails, texts and support over the past several weeks. It's been a difficult period, but your kindness has been greatly appreciated.

Strength is being vulnerable."

Two characteristics distinguish quantities from non-quantitative properties and relations. First, every quantity is associated with a class of determinate "magnitudes" or "values" of that quantity, each member of which is a property or relation itself. So when a particle possesses mass or charge, it always instantiates one particular magnitude of mass or charge — like 2.5 kilograms or 7 Coulombs. Second, the magnitudes of a given quantity (alternatively, the particulars which instantiate those magnitudes) exhibit "quantitative structure", which comprises things like: ordering structure, summation/concatenation structure, ratio structure, directional structure, etc. We often represent quantities using similarly-structured mathematical entities, like numbers, vectors, etc.
The Metaphysics of Quantity conference is a three day conference to be held at the New York University Philosophy Department, with support from the New York Institute of Philosophy, on the weekend of May 1st through May 3rd, 2015. The purpose of this conference is to showcase new work being done in this exciting subfield, which investigates the nature of, and the philosophical issues stemming from, quantities. For more about the range of topics covered, and for information on how to submit a talk for this conference, please see our Call For Papers. To register, click here.

Now, normally I wouldn't divert what meager traffic I have by providing an entry and a link touting another internet blog, but every once in a while I make an exception. During one of my usual journeys through the blogosphere I ran across the aptly titled "Stuff White People Like." The concept is as straight forward as the name; a daily listing of "stuff white people like" ranging from Apple products to irony.
Now I am an Asian male who has lived a majority of his life among white people. I've read their fiction novels, been to their birthday parties, eaten at their chain restaurants, watched their hockey, loved their women, and went to their institutional learning facilities. And I can say through my somewhat detached cultural vantage point that while the blog's observations are (most likely) tongue and cheek, there's still a disturbing center of truthfulness to a lot of these observations. Now while the blog's definition of white people is somewhat narrow to the point of middle to upper class, mostly educated, somewhat waspy, folks; having lived in the suburbs of Jersey and attended school and worked in New York City, these are essentially the kind of white people that inhabit my life.
Interestingly enough white person favorite #57 "Juno" echoed my recent views on the film and its seemingly whitewashed fantasy world.
Some of the more notable things were:

while i find this blog hilarious-it seems that the writer not only indulges in many of these pastimes, he chooses things that are beloved by all, only choosing to explore how upper-middle class people enjoy them. whats next? "white people just love to breathe-i mean, we all breathe, but white people breathe DEEP."ReplyDelete
i do have a serious distaste for many NYC professionals who walk around with their $5 coffees and $6 muffins, smirking like their shit don't stink. i also feel somewhat responsible for this, as it was the gays that first brought their straight white friends to starbucks and that expensive sandwich shop down the street.
kill whitey.

Maysville to try beets on icy roads
MAYSVILLE — A northeastern Kentucky town may have found a new way to "beet" icy road conditions in winter with a compound based on everyone's favorite vegetable.
Maysville Public Works Director Jim Fryman said the city will be using geomelt, a concentrate primarily made of beets, along with the traditional salt to treat icy roads.
"The sugar in it helps keep the ice from bonding to the road," said City Manager Ray Young.
The city made the move in part because of a shortage of salt and skyrocketing prices for the commodity. This year salt has increased in price from $51 a ton in 2007 to $103 a ton in 2008, Young said. Young said that last year, 780 tons of salt was purchased from Morton and a small amount of that purchase was left over.
The city has two storage units of 1,200 gallons each of geomelt, and paid the equivalent of $2.85 per ton, Fryman told The Ledger Independent in Maysville.
"The increase in price makes alternative resources come into play," said Young. "It's very expensive this year. Some places have doubled in cost. It's a tough situation. We'll do the best we can to keep the roads safe and clean."
Fryman said that along with the geomelt, the city also has about 500 tons of road salt.
The city uses about 500 tons of salt during a winter with average snowfall, Fryman said. But, that can double when the snow is heavy, he said.
"A really bad winter has seen over 1,000 tons," Fryman said. "It could get bad with the shortage of salt."
Along with the new compound, Fryman is hoping a new de-icing strategy will help save salt this year.
City employees won't salt as much as in the past before snow falls, instead concentrating on heavily traveled hills, dangerous roads and intersections, Fryman said.
The geomelt will be mixed as it is loaded onto trucks and pumped with a hose.
But, Fryman said, the city expects to learn as it goes during its first year using geomelt.
"It looks real dirty and sandy from treating the salt," Fryman said about what drivers should expect to see on roads.

Case Study Subheadings For Apa
By David Becker
Dear APA Style Experts,
Is it okay for a heading to be alone at the very bottom of a page while the first paragraph of that section begins at the top of the next page? I checked page 62 in the Publication Manual where it talks about levels of heading, but I couldn't find any answers to this question. Please help!
—Keith T.
Dear Keith,
Yes, in an APA Style manuscript, it's perfectly fine to have a heading at the bottom of one page with the body of the section starting on the next page. In fact, you can see examples of this at the beginning of Sample Paper 2 (see pp. 54–55 in the sixth edition of the Publication Manual; the sample papers are also accessible online via our "Best of the APA Style Blog" post).
Lonely headings like these are sometimes called orphans in typesetting. An orphan can also mean the first line of a paragraph that's left all alone at the bottom of a page. When the last line of a paragraph appears by itself at the top of the page, typesetters may refer to it as a widow. Widows, like orphans, are acceptable in APA Style manuscripts.
However, if you're a student writing a class paper or a dissertation, your professor or university may have standards that differ from APA Style. They might prohibit widows and orphans. Universities have particularly precise criteria for dissertations and theses that often address widows and orphans—sometimes even specifying the minimum number of lines of text that can appear on the same page as a table. Your professor or a dissertation committee will be the ones evaluating your work, not APA, so their standards supersede those in the Publication Manual. You should therefore ask your professor or dissertation advisor about whether widows and orphans are acceptable.
You may be wondering why the Publication Manual doesn't discuss widows and orphans. This is because the guidelines in the manual were designed with draft journal articles in mind. They don't directly address issues that are more relevant to a final article's appearance and composition, including widows and orphans, which are sorted out during typesetting. Publishers generally determine what their articles will look like when they go to print, so they establish their own typesetting standards. Although the Publication Manual doesn't weigh in on these issues, section 8.06 (pp. 239–240) briefly addresses an author's responsibilities during typesetting, which includes sending the manuscript files to the publisher in an acceptable format and double-checking the typeset page proofs for any errors.
Although some aspects of a draft manuscript carry over into the typeset version—the reference list follows the same APA Style guidelines, for example—the appearance and composition of the article will change drastically. The font type and size, the margins, and the line spacing are all typically very different after typesetting. Some articles will also be formatted so that the text is split into two columns. And, the tables and figures that appear at the end of the manuscript will be embedded close to their first mention in the text. All this rearranging and redesigning means that what were once widows and orphans in a draft manuscript will likely be in completely different places in the final version. There's no reason to be too concerned about these lonely lines of text during the draft stage if they will be reunited with their lost relatives during typesetting and appear together in the final article.
If you're a student, your schoolwork won't go through this whole process before it's finalized. Your paper is considered "final" when you submit it to your professor. For example, a dissertation, once submitted, becomes the final, published version of record. Therefore, it's important to consider the final appearance of your paper during the draft stage. Some formatting issues not covered in the Publication Manual will need to be addressed while you're writing your paper. When in doubt, always check with your professor or university to see if they have their own preferred standards.
And, in case you were wondering, APA Style doesn't have any guidelines concerning bears. I doubt your professor or university will have any either.
APA Headings and Seriation
APA (American Psychological Association) style is most commonly used to cite sources within the social sciences. This resource, revised according to the 6th edition, second printing of the APA manual, offers examples for the general format of APA research papers, in-text citations, endnotes/footnotes, and the reference page. For more information, please consult the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association, (6th ed., 2nd printing).
Contributors: Joshua M. Paiz, Elizabeth Angeli, Jodi Wagner, Elena Lawrick, Kristen Moore, Michael Anderson, Lars Soderlund, Allen Brizee, Russell Keck

APA Style uses a unique headings system to separate and classify paper sections. Headings are used to help guide the reader through a document. The levels are organized by levels of subordination, and each section of the paper should start with the highest level of heading. There are 5 heading levels in APA. The 6th edition of the APA manual revises and simplifies previous heading guidelines. Regardless of the number of levels, always use the headings in order, beginning with level 1. The format of each level is illustrated below:
|APA Headings
|Centered, Boldface, Uppercase and Lowercase Headings
|Left-aligned, Boldface, Uppercase and Lowercase Heading
| Indented, boldface, lowercase heading with a period.
| Indented, boldface, italicized, lowercase heading with a period.
| Indented, italicized, lowercase heading with a period.
Thus, if the article has four sections, some of which have subsections and some of which don't, use headings depending on the level of subordination. Section headings receive level one format. Subsections receive level two format. Subsections of subsections receive level three format. For example:
Method (Level 1)
Site of Study (Level 2)
Participant Population (Level 2)
Teachers. (Level 3)
Students. (Level 3)
Results (Level 1)
Spatial Ability (Level 2)
Test one. (Level 3)
Teachers with experience. (Level 4)
Teachers in training. (Level 4)
Test two. (Level 3)
Kinesthetic Ability (Level 2)
In APA Style, the Introduction section never gets a heading and headings are not indicated by letters or numbers. Levels of headings will depend upon the length and organization of your paper. Regardless, always begin with level one headings and proceed to level two, etc.
APA also allows for seriation in the body text to help authors organize and present key ideas. For numbered seriation, do the following:
- Move the navigation bar from the right to the left side of the OWL pages.
- Integrate branded graphics (the Writing Lab and OWL logos) into the text on the OWL homepage.
- Add a search box to every page of the OWL.
- Develop an OWL site map.
- Develop a three-tiered navigation system.
For lists that do not communicate hierarchical order or chronology, use bullets:
- "This version is easier to use."
- "Version two seems better organized."
- "It took me a few minutes to learn how to use this version, but after that, I felt more comfortable with it."
Authors may also use seriation for paragraph length text.
For seriation within sentences, authors may use letters:
On the basis of research conducted by the usability team, OWL staff have completed (a) the OWL site map; (b) integrating graphics with text on the OWL homepage; (c) search boxes on all OWL pages except the orange OWL resources (that is pending; we do have a search page); (d) moving the navigation bar to the left side of pages on all OWL resources except in the orange area (that is pending); (e) piloting the first phase of the three-tiered navigation system, as illustrated in the new Engagement section.
Authors may also separate points with bullet lists:
- the OWL site map;
- integrating graphics with text on the OWL homepage;
- search boxes on all OWL pages except the orange OWL resources (that is pending; we do have a search page);
- moving the navigation bar to the left side of pages on all OWL resources except in the orange area (that is pending);
- piloting the first phase of the three-tiered navigation system, as illustrated in the new Engagement section.
