Incredible India – Hotel Vivanta by Taj – Madikeri

Categories All posts0 Comments

Presstrip India.

Contributed by Tim Walter

Namaste – First of all India is incredible.

We landed in Mumbai. Huge red buses, massive green cricket ground and the azure sea. All coverage on the canvas of this city.

Skyscrapers and Victorian heritage. Mumbai presents past and and present in elegant ways.

The “Gateway of India” was built in 1927 to commemorate Queen Mary and King George V, it is also the place from which the last of the British army troops left a independent India by sea.

Well, when I arrived I wondered if I booked the right location but when I checked I changed my mind.

The Vivanta by Taj is a special hideaway and well-known in healing traditions of old India.
The Jiva Grande at Vivanta Madikeri is designed to help you arrive at a state of balance and self-awareness. A great experience in Madikeri is the rainforest’s with its secrets across 200 green acres. A private Eden, perched on an idyllic hill-side nearly 4000 feet above sea level.

The resort houses villas with stunning vistas and a 30,000 sq ft Jiva Grande Spa that delves five floors of a rainforest and star-lights the Gudda Bath experience.

Just in between the rainforest, the Vivanta offers a perfect wellness space with a view, private spa suites, a relaxation deck, a wellness café and the signature Jiva experience – the Gudda Bath that draws from the local ethos of Coorg and is found in traditional households of the region.

Coorg promises the next high in luxurious meditation.

There are so many changes eco-farming, buddhism travel, e-visa, holistic tourism.

All this comes with more than 350 species of flora and fauna and a great panorama view from our suite.
Truly a suite with a view.

I did my best to explore the rainforest with a naturalist insider ruminate at the Buddha garden.

My tip: travel further up North in direction Pakistan and enjoy the border ceremony.

I spent only five days in this magical place but could have stayed years.

Living in style.

Home > A. Molecular pathology > CTHRC1

Saturday 23 February 2019

Definition : Collagen triple helix repeat containing 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CTHRC1 gene.

The CTHRC1 protein may play a role in the cellular response to arterial injury through involvement in vascular remodeling.

- Collagen triple helix repeat containing 1 (CTHRC1) is overexpressed in different kinds of cancer tissues and may thus promote tumor formation.

- Mutations at this locus have been associated with Barrett esophagus and esophageal adenocarcinoma. Alternatively, spliced transcript variants have been described.

- Elevated CTHRC1 expression is an indicator for poor prognosis and lymph node metastasis in cervical squamous cell carcinoma CSCC.

  • CTHRC1 overexpression strongly is associated with IFGO stage, histologic grade, depth of stromal infiltration, lymphovascular space invasion, lymph node metastasis, and recurrence.
  • CTHRC1 overexpression was an independent factor for overall survival and disease-free survival in cervical squamous cell carcinoma.
  • High CTHRC1 positively correlated with lymph node metastasis of cervical squamous cell carcinoma.
  • CTHRC1 may be a valuable biomarker for predicting the prognosis and metastasis of CSCC and a potential therapeutic target for treatment of this disease.

Agglomeration effects on labor productivity

"Urbanization and localization effects are known to boost the regional economy and its growth potential. The emergence of these effects is due to localized knowledge flows, the closeness to markets, but also due to the diversity of services and industries. All these effects have the potential to increase the productivity (and profitability) of firms. Whereas many studies have been conducted at the industry or the regional level, this paper adds to the existing literature by starting at the level of establishments and taking the interaction with the surrounding regions into account. This is possible by exploiting an exceptionally large establishment panel study and the employment statistics for Germany. The empirical analyses are carried out in two steps regressions in order to separate the characteristics of establishments from regional influences." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

“We walked miserably in the rain and lost 6 days of pay because we followed a union leader who insisted there was large reserve that the district was hiding. Well apparently there wasn’t. Caputo-Pearl’s main goal all along was to increase properties taxes and used us to influence public opinion... Now we have this measure being pushed through... I didn’t go on strike to be blindsided by having my property taxed...pretty dam sneaky.”

Best of 2017: Courtney Barnett and Kurt Vile

Kurt Vile and Courtney Barnett seem like natural creative partners, in theory. Both are troubadours prone to electric guitar freakouts, they’re each associated with the term “slacker” despite enviable productivity, and they find meaning in the mundane. Vile is the one you go to for heady vibes, but he has subtly drifted toward wry storytelling. Barnett, the one you go to for the stories and the wryness, has gravitated toward garage-rock and grunge styles more in Vile’s wheelhouse.

Australian video consumption “transforming the communications landscape” says ACMA report

Australian video consumption “transforming the communications landscape” says ACMA report

Australians’ ever-increasing appetite for data-hungry video services is transforming the communications landscape, according to the Australian Communications and Media Authority’s Communications report 2017–18. The annual ACMA report examines the current telecoms and media environment, including the latest in industry innovations and consumer trends. “Over 50% of Australian adults have subscribed to video services such as Netflix and Stan since their Australian launch in 2015, indicating just how fast the communications market can change,” said ACMA chair, Nerida O’Loughlin. Other findings show that Australian adults are increasingly diversifying the use and mobility of their connected devices. In particular 40% used five or more devices in 2018, up from 23% in 2014; 87% of adults accessed the internet through their mobile phone in 2018, up by 10 percentage points from 2014; and 16% of adults only used a mobile connection to access the internet in 2018, down from 23% in 2014. Further, 41% only used a mobile phone to make voice calls at home, up from 27% in 2014.

Release Blitz! The Best Man By Barbie Bohrman

Today we have the release day launch for The Best Man by Barbie Bohrman! Check it out and grab your copy today!

FINAL_The Best Man FOR WEBVeronica Webber is single again after being in a loveless marriage way past its expiration date. For the first time in a very long time, she feels free and after being burned so badly by love in the past, any thought of romance is the last thing on her mind. In walks a man from her past, Trevor Allen, a tall, dark, and handsome womanizer who is usually all about the bottom line. For Trevor that bottom line has always been made up of the countless notches on his bedpost. But when he sees Veronica after so many years, he can’t help but be drawn to her and know her again… even if that means being friend-zoned from the start. As this unlikely pair spends more and more time together, they quickly realize that there might be something between them that goes past "just friends." But there’s just one tiny detail that makes this situation slightly more complicated… Trevor was Veronica’s ex-husband’s best man at their wedding nine years ago. So when past mistakes and indiscretions come back to haunt them, will their happily ever after end before it even gets started? Or will the best man win this time.

I was minutes away from punching my little brother in the face for dragging me to this hipster bar tonight. I still could not understand why he thought he needed me to help him out. Because the two women he claimed required my presence to close the deal were clueless to my standing there for the last hour. They were all about my baby brother, Max, and how he was going to help them “break into the business.” And if “break into the business,” meant for them to have access to a local cable channel television host for a show about New York nightlife that aired so randomly, you would have a better chance of finding Waldo on your television? Then, yes, these women were most definitely on their way to breaking into the business. Max had a way of talking me into saying yes to his misadventures in the city. To his credit, they usually paid off for me. I would smile and charm my way into a lady’s sights for a couple of hours, and eventually into her pants. And I’d had my fair share of hook-ups. But even I had to admit it got a bit mind-numbing after a while. I wasn’t going to lie to myself or to anyone else: in layman’s terms, I loved women. I would rather be balls deep in a woman’s pussy than have my own hand wrapped around my dick any day of the week. However, the tradeoff was becoming less appealing with age. My brother was a low-level celebrity in the city. In my opinion, he wasn’t even on the D-list. Still, women flocked to him everywhere he went, as did some of the local social media bloggers. He was young, single, and rich. The trifecta. And it earned him the nickname of Max-A-Million from the page-six gossip types. He knew about the nickname and how people used him, and he didn’t care one single fuck about it. He did whatever he wanted with whomever he wanted whenever he wanted, and damn the consequences. I taught him well. However much I loved my baby brother, it did not dissipate my dislike of being in this bar or the countless others like it in the city. I much preferred a quiet, reasonably lit cocktail bar with a semi-decent corporate-type crowd. I could have a couple of drinks and then, if it was a good night, go home with a beautiful woman who loved my cock as much as I did. I smiled to myself remembering the redhead from a couple of weeks ago who had sucked my dick in the cab ride back to her apartment. The next morning, she swore that she had never done something like that before in her entire life. And I swore that I would call her.

About Barbie Bohrman:
Born and raised in Miami, Florida, Barbie Bohrman dreamed of becoming an author. Long after she had given up, a book club’s prologue contest enticed her to give it one more go. What emerged were the beginnings of her debut novel, Promise Me. Now she’s living her dream and writing stories that entice readers to escape and break away from reality. When she’s not writing, you can find her trying to get through the books on her Kindle (more than a thousand at last count) or watching Lost or Seinfeld. She currently resides in New Jersey with her husband, two children, and two dogs.

2/3 of the way done with the 30 for 30 Challenge!  I am behind most other people, but it feels good to be closer to the end.  This time, due to some rushed item picking, I am really needing to push myself to make my 30 work for me.

Skirt: LOFT
Shoes: Jessica Simpson
Sweater: Urban Outfitters

I love finding new places to take pictures here in Indiana.  There is something interesting around every corner, and I truly love that!  Being home has been amazing for me, and I've been loving every day.   I find that I am always smiling here.  Do you ever get like that about a place?

Facebook launches reporting tool to clamp down on scam adverts in the UK

Facebook has created a reporting tool for scam adverts and donated £3m to Citizens Advice for an anti-scan project called Scams Action.

The project was launched by Facebook after they agreed to treat the matter seriously after Martin Lewis, the consumer champion, dropped a lawsuit of defamation against them, for the many scam ads appearing on Facebook that were featuring his image with the endorsement that he was backing financial schemes and to click through on the fake ad.

Scam adverts are often posted by fake companies that don't own, hold or dispatch what they are advertising and often use celebrity images to endorse false products like mobile phones, miracle medical breakthroughs, free trial offers, miracle face creams diet pills and 'get rich quick' bitcoin trading schemes.

As many Social Media platforms push advertising content and Facebook still does not allow users to deny advertising uploads of their personal data to Facebook, it has become easy for scammers to reach a broader audience. The UK faces an epidemic of online scam ads, yet there isn't a law or regulation to prevent them. Usually, these criminal scammers are based outside of the EU.

Thousands of people have fallen victim to these ad scams and they have devastating effects on those that have been conned out of thousands of pounds and serious affects on their health if they have actually received the 'miracle new drug that replaces insulin'.

The social media company's new scam ads reporting tool will involve a specially trained team investigating alerts raised by users, reviewing reports and taking down violating posts to clamp down on potentially misleading adverts.

Citizens Advice project Scams Action (casa) will help those that have been impacted by scammers (it is estimated that 20,000 people are year are scammed) but also raise awareness of how to avoid scams, too.

Many ad scams are obvious to lots of people but there are many that don't recognise them as scams and they are left vulnerable because when an advertisement appears on Facebook, they may feel that it is to be trusted; that Facebook would have vetted the company to protect its users, surely? Match that advert with a celebrity's face that is thought to be an opinion leader saying that they use the product or have invested in the company and now life is so wonderful and that is where the dangers lie. It is a ripe area for scammers and it is right that Facebook are doing something about protecting their users because it isn't just an issue with the ad scammers now. It is an issue for legitimate UK advertisers trying to get their brand message across. The ad scam issue dilutes trust.

There are a few obvious things to look out for in spotting an ad scam:
  • The price is too good to be true - cheaper than it could be bought elsewhere
  • It's a too good to be true Miracle cream that gets rid of every wrinkle
  • Being asked to pay quickly and for any other personal information
  • The http address at the start of the URL should have an s at the end of http: https. This means that the website has a security certificate and that if you are paying by credit card, your card is encrypted.
  • Check if there is an option of paying by Paypal which would give you added security. If there isn't an option, this should ring alarm bells.
  • Spelling, grammar, poor images and no contact address on the page.

Facebook have also made updates in its Ad Preference menu to provide users with more information about businesses and third parties, including their email and phone numbers and other data.

Yet, Facebook is still not letting their users deny advertiser uploads of their personal data to Facebook via Facebook itself. Users have to go through and contact each and every one individually and of course, how many people would do that? So, these users are still bombarded with all types of manipulative advertisements, which leaves them extremely vulnerable to ad scams.

Social Media companies provide a vehicle to carry fake news and fake ads across the world. The reach is global and unquantifiable. It's collection of data has made it easy for these criminals that are creating these fake ads to manipulate the users on the social media platforms.

Martin Lewis sued Facebook for defamation because his reputation was being ruined on their platform.

Will the big tech giants understand the damage that their negligent behaviour can cause?

Global companies are the key to spreading better policing on the internet.

Online defamation refers to any untrue statement (and in this case an untrue endorsement) posted in an online context that causes or is likely to cause serious harm to someone's reputation or business.

General Motors (GM) Doubles Profit on North American Earnings

Shares of The General Motors Company (GM) were trading up +1.00 or +3.11 percent to $33.19 per share in Thursday’s premarket after the company reported stellar first quarter earnings and revenue. General Motors stock closed at $32.19 per share, up +0.22 or +0.69 percent in Wednesday’s regular trading session.

Detroit, Michigan based General Motors Company is one of the largest car manufacturers in the world, producing and distributing vehicles in 30 countries.
The company markets vehicles under 10 major brands, including Baojun, Buick, Chevrolet, Cadillac, GMC, Holden, Jiefang, Opel (OPELF), Vauxhall and Wulingand. General Motors led global vehicle sales for 77 consecutive years from 1931 to 2007. General Motors filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in 2009 and was subsequently bailed out by the U.S. government, making an initial public offering in 2010. The IPO was one of the largest to date and returned the company to profitability.

Earlier this morning, the General Motors Co. reported record first quarter earnings and margin. Earnings before interest and taxes or EBIT came to $2.7 billion with adjusted EBIT adjusted margin of 7.1 percent, which compares to $2.1 billion and 5.8 percent in EBIT adjusted earnings and margin for last year’s first quarter.

On a diluted basis, net income to stockholders came to $2.0 billion or $1.24 per share versus $0.9 billion or $0.56 per diluted share in the same period one year ago. After adjusting for certain special items, first quarter earnings per share were a record $1.26, an increase of +47 percent from 2015’s first quarter. The analyst consensus was for the company to report earnings of $1.01.

Net revenue for the first quarter was $37.3 billion versus $35.7 billion in the first quarter of 2015. On a constant currency basis, net revenues were higher by $2.9 billion from 2015’s first quarter. Analysts expected the company to report revenue of $34.9 billion.

GM’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Mary Barra stated in the company’s press release that, “We're growing where it counts, gaining retail share in the U.S., outpacing the industry in Europe and capitalizing on robust growth in SUV and luxury segments in China. This strong quarter also reflects the excellent progress we're making to improve results in our more challenged global markets. Importantly, the continued success of our core business is enabling us to invest in advanced technology and innovations that will help shape the future of personal mobility.”

North American pretax profits were a record $2.3 billion for the first quarter, but broke even in Europe after reporting a $200 million loss in last year’s first quarter. Earnings included a half billion dollar cash investment in Lyft, a ride sharing company, with $300 million for union worker buyouts and $60 million for the settlement of litigation.

General Motors stock is up over +22 percent since trading below $28 per share in February. Shareholders and the market are indicating optimism with this morning’s premarket action and could test the stock’s 52 week high of $37.45 in the near term.

Data insecurity is a major concern in our time. Statistics show that, globally, a hacking attempt occurs every 39 seconds. Hackers primarily target vulnerable individuals and small businesses with a malicious intent of phishing out sensitive information for financial gain. To be on the safe side, businesses and individuals have resorted to using various cybersecurity measures to keep their data safe. One of the popular options is the use of cloud storage as a backup media to prevent cyber-theft. To be on the safe side when using the cloud for various data handling practices, you need to be aware of 6 major tips on how to keep your cloud data safe.

Implement access control

Anyone having access to the cloud can use manipulative ways to gain access to your data stored there. You, therefore, need to safeguard your data from third-party and unauthorized access by setting up access control measures. Access controls are all about classifying data and regulating the individuals who access it by setting passwords and other forms of authentication. Using strong passwords by setting up strong character combinations is a great way of safeguarding against hacking attempts.

Do not store sensitive data

The kind of data you store or handle in the cloud should not be overly sensitive. Personal and banking information, including social security numbers, business registration details, banking details, and bank statements should never be stored on the cloud where they are vulnerable. Avoiding storage of such sensitive information on the cloud ensures that you are on the safe side if a hacker successfully penetrates and accesses your data.

Use data encryption

Encryption has been classified by experts as one of the best ways to protect your data against malicious use. Any data being transmitted to and from your cloud storage as well as being stored there should be appropriately protected with a strong encryption key. The encryption ensures that persons who illegally access the files cannot make sense of it. An easy and readily available way of encrypting your data is by compressing and storing it in zip files which are then password-protected. Alternatively, you may use strong, recommended encryption techniques that are hacking-proof.

Make use of data backups

Creating a data backup is a great way of ensuring the integrity of your data. Every piece of data stored on your cloud storage medium should have an alternative regularly-updated storage location. This measure is meant to protect you from malicious data hacking in situations where hackers manipulate your data to cripple your business’s operations. The backups should be updated daily to ensure that no sensitive data is lost in case of a malicious attack.

Make use of anti-virus and anti-spyware software

Hackers have come up with sophisticated viruses that are capable of spying the data stored in your cloud storage media. Such a virus program only needs to append itself of your cloud storage location to siphon out vital information. As a safeguard against this, you should endeavor to ensure that your cloud storage and data handling locations are well protected by antivirus, anti-malware, and anti-spyware software. The programs should also be set to automatically update themselves to be well equipped with the latest data protection mechanisms.

Have a cloud policy

If your business has a cloud data handling platform, the chances are that you are not the only person accessing the data from the cloud. The likelihood of your employees compromising on the strong data policies you have put in place is very high. To be on the safe side, in this regard, you need to ensure that all your employees are well trained on a strong cloud security policy. The employees, for instance, should understand the various relevant cybersecurity practices that are necessary to keep the organizational data safe. The policy should be updated regularly to stay at par with the rising breed of sophisticated hackers.

Observing these tips when it comes to handling and storing data on your cloud ensures that hackers do not stand a chance to compromise on your data’s safety. Performing regular assessments and audits on your cybersecurity practices ensure that you stay on top of your game as far as keeping your cloud data safe is concerned.

Can Machine Learning Be Used to Make Better Hiring Decisions?

2 women in front of computer
Topic(s): fairness, performance, selection, turnover
Publication: Journal of Applied Psychology (2019)
Article: Using Machine Learning to Translate Applicant Work History into Predictors of Performance and Turnover
Authors: S. Sajjadiani, A.J. Sojourner, J.D. Kammeyer-Mueller, E. Mykerezi
Reviewed by: Marissa Post

Virtually every company requires prospective job candidates to share their work history through resumes and job applications as a basis for screening. However, the practices used by hiring managers to assess candidate work history varies between—or even within—companies. As a result, these evaluations may have varying degrees of success when trying to predict job performance or turnover. How can organizations better select high potential candidates and filter out poor candidates without anyone slipping through the cracks?

New research (Sajjadiani et al., 2019) suggests that using machine learning can work as an alternative method of work history screening. The findings suggest that a shift to machine learning techniques may allow companies to improve their selection decisions while reducing the risk of adverse impact, which occurs when a legally-protected group is underrepresented in the workplace.

Machine learning occurs when a computer uses trial and error to generate and improve an algorithm until it achieves maximum utility. In the area of personnel selection, this refined algorithm could potentially be used to help an organization select the best employees. The researchers explain that their approach to machine learning deviates from typical methods in which data scientists fail to evaluate why various inputs into an algorithm serve as predictors. This typical approach poses a challenge for practical usage because it can yield results that are difficult to explain to stakeholders and may even pose legal challenges when results are not clearly linked to job requirements.

Instead, the authors draw upon previous research to select factors that are linked to performance and turnover. Factors of interest include relevant work experience, tenure history, and other turnover history, such as involuntary turnover, leaving to seek jobs that are a better personal fit, and leaving to avoid “bad” jobs (e.g., seeking jobs requiring minimal effort, or attributing negative work outcomes to the workplace itself). By establishing this theoretical basis, the algorithm can be systematically trained and refined based on the relevant research.

The researchers used 15,000 applicants to public school teaching positions to test the hypothesis that their algorithm could be taught to use the aforementioned theoretical underpinnings to predict turnover and performance. Based on the results, they created a list of the applicants they would have hired had the algorithm actually been used in the selection process.

To holistically evaluate the success of their algorithm, the researchers used a teaching performance evaluation, student evaluations, expert observation ratings, students’ standardized test scores, and turnover. In addition to these measures, adverse impact was also included as a way to measure success of the algorithm.

When comparing their recommended candidate pool to the actual group that was hired by the school district, the researchers found that their modeling outperformed the school district’s selection with respect to overall performance. Risk of adverse impact by gender was roughly equal for both, though the machine learning technique resulted in slightly lower risk of adverse impact with respect to race.

The techniques employed in this study leverage something that is readily accessible to employers: text-based data. While cumbersome and time-consuming for selection personnel to navigate, text-based data from job applications can be handled by machine learning with greater ease and fairness, leading to improved business outcomes compared to conventional methods.

Organizations interested in pursuing machine learning methods for selection should be advised to pay special attention to transparency and consistency. Clearly communicating reasoning behind the techniques will ensure that stakeholders appreciate the fairness and effectiveness of machine learning.

Finally, while this study presents compelling evidence in favor of machine learning, it has not to date been validated in other job contexts outside of teaching. Therefore, these methods should be used cautiously and only with proper validation.

Why Prosecuting Human Traffickers in Nigeria is Nothing More than a Mirage

Hope Oyiza, a Nigerian human trafficking survivor has said the Nigerian authority in charge of preventing the trafficking of persons, as well as punishing offenders, is lagging behind in her duties because many of the officials collect bribes from arrested human traffickers. Then, release them.

About Me

I have recently immigrated from Ukraine and have been very interested in modeling for some time. I have done several shoots, but not enough to consider myself as anything more than a beginner-intermediate. However, I have arranged and attended shoots for more than 100 sessions now, and worked with 7 photographers in this process. I consider myself moderately experienced in judging a photographer's capabilities, professionalism, as well as poses required by the model to create unique pictures.

Iâm interested in art photography/fashion/glamourâ¦and especially swimsuits shoots.
My bikini pictures can only be found on http://wickedweasel.com/en-us/contribut … /2071-olga

I'm also an intermediate in photoshopping and video-editing. I hold a Master's degree in teaching.

3 DayFloodplain Vistas

On your 3 days Chobe Safari Package you will experience the magic of the Chobe River from the Namibian side. The game lodge overlooks the Chobe National Park in Botswana and you will enjoy views of the African wilderness of dense woodland, Ilala palms and open grasslands beyond the river.

The Chobe Riverfront is a magnet for wildlife, especially vast herds of Elephant which gather en masse, particularly in the dry season. This is a magnificent destination for bird watchers on a Botswana holiday, due to the prolific year-round birdlife.

You will explore this exceptional area on a variety of activities. See rare species of antelope, Lion, Wild Dog and high concentrations of plains game on game drives. Watch the wildlife at the water's edge on a Chobe River sunset cruise or set off on an informative bush walk with your guide. For cultural interaction, you can visit a traditional Namibian village. Optional game drives in Chobe National Park are also available.

Day 1: Johannesburg - Kasane - Chobe National Park (Namibian side)

In the morning you will take the flight from Johannesburg O.R. Tambo Airport to Kasane Airport. After a short road transfer, you will pass through Kasane immigration (Botswana and Namibian border post), from where you will get a boat transfer to the game lodge.

You will find time for a light lunch, relaxing and refreshments before taking part in the game viewing activity in the afternoon.

Day 2: Chobe National Park (Namibian - side)

The land alongside the Chobe River is known for its abundant wildlife, which includes the rare Puku antelope, huge herds of Elephant, Buffalo and Hippo as well as Giraffe, Sable, Wild Dog and predators like Lion.

Viewing wildlife is best in the early morning and late afternoon when the day is cooler. Early morning game drives set off after your wake-up call which is delivered with tea or coffee and a snack.

Your experienced guides will show you why this area is so famous and share their knowledge of the environment with you. You enjoy brunch on your return and leisure time till the next adventure.

Evening game drives depart after high tea and usually stop for sundowners at a scenic spot along the way.

Calling for social contracts for the web

My experiences with services that have posted things to my FB timeline without prior permission make me very reluctant to trust any service that asks for Facebook integration. Luckily no app has ever posted personal sensitive information but several have polluted the timeline with information I don't want there. Irrelevant stuff like that time Slideshare posted about me downloading my own presentations as PDF. Or when I followed a question on Quora. Permissions I would never have given had I been asked by the websites in question.

The Ticket that Can't Be Bought : On Grace

I love the idea of trains. Mass transit where you can get up and walk around, go to the dining car, watch the scenery. Hear the rhythmic repetition of the wheels and gears grinding against steel and wood. Travel a pre-determined route through people's backyards and people's city squares and people's lives. Move from city to city the same way my Grandfather got to the Army and back. And maybe the best part, walk right up to the ticket counter the same day you're traveling, look at the huge black board full of letters in yellow lights and buy a ticket that gets you where you need to go right on time.

But what if you went to ride a train but couldn't buy a ticket? No matter how much money you had. What if the man who owns the railroad (naturally he wears a monocle and looks like the monopoly guy) refuses to sell tickets? Instead this strange man decides that from now on he will only give tickets away. And he's quite liberal with his tickets. He gives them to whoever asks: the homeless, the poor, anyone who asks really. But he just won't sell them. No matter what. Because he has decided that he really doesn't want or need anymore money. And besides he's tired of people demanding this or that from him because, after all, they are paying customers.

Most people who have a general background in Christianity have heard that there is a heaven and a hell. They figure that this is basically the point of the Christian faith. There is an ultimate destination and you want to make sure you end up in the right place when your time is up. But how do you get there?

1. If I talk to someone who is basically unfamiliar with the Christian doctrine I find that such a woman or man usually assumes that if they are good enough then God will eventually let them into heaven. Heaven is for good people, Hell is for bad people. They are working to buy a ticket and their ticket is their good works. One might call this moralism (trying to live a very moral life). The problems with this are many, but one can quickly imagine several. Who decided where the cut-off is? How can someone who sins be in the presence of a perfect sinless God? If you were to sin a mere three times a day and live to the ripe old age of 80, how would you account to God for the roughly 80,000 sins you had committed in your lifetime? Why should people from good middle-class homes be privileged to get into heaven, seeing as how all the research connects stable upbringing with moral behavior? These people have tried to buy a ticket to heaven by being good. But the railroad owner has already decided: the tickets are not for sale.

2. If I talk to someone who is somewhat familiar with Christianity I find that such a man or woman usually knows that they can't be good enough to earn their way into heaven, but that Jesus has died for the forgiveness of their sins. So the question remains, how do you get to heaven? Usually there are some core things this person will tell you that you must do. The list varies from person to person, but the usual suspects include: giving money, asking for forgiveness for sins, or attending church. These are, of course, good things, but here is the catch. If you do these things so that God has to take you to heaven when you die, then you are trying to buy your ticket through religious performance. In this scenario Jesus might be your example, your teacher, or your sugar-daddy, but he's not your savior because you are your own savior. You have prayed, given, and attended therefore you feel God has to take you to heaven when you die. And really you feel as though God owes you a pretty good life now, as well. After all you have bought the ticket, you have the right to a pleasant journey. These people have tried to buy a ticket to heaven by being religious. But the railroad owner has already decided: the tickets are not for sale.

3. If I talk to someone who has been a Christian for a very long time and has suffered greatly and whose faith has been painfully refined I usually find a different picture. Such a person knows that God owes them nothing, but that he is in the business of giving out tickets to people who humbly ask for them. In the beginning perhaps the goal was the destination: get to heaven. But as you learn about the graciousness, character, and beauty of this railroad owner, the goal becomes not where you are going, but who you are getting to know. These people often give money, pray prayers, ask for forgiveness, and attend church, but the motivation of their heart is different. They know that God owes no man anything, but that he has already given man everything. Therefore they do these things out of grateful joy, to get to know their God more. He is just that worth it. The railroad owner has already decided: the tickets are not for sale. And these people find in this a statement of how great God truly is.

When every ticket is free, then no man or woman may boast. And in the end God owes no man or woman anything. But he does graciously give us himself. Ultimately in the person of his son and presently in the companionship of his Holy Spirit. In the end a man or woman can say that their faith is in Christ, but behavior is the ultimate litmus test. A person who "puts in their time" or who "does their duty" to get to heaven is not trusting in Jesus, but is trying to buy a free ticket by their own religious performance. You can't buy what is freely given. The only thing to do is humble yourself and know that no matter what you do you can't buy a ticket. And if God has freely given you everything, there is nothing he cannot ask of you.

A Trip to Olympic National Park

Drove up to the Olympic Peninsula from Eugene Oregon to Port Angeles, Washington to spend a few days in Olympic National Park. The first day we stopped at the Hurricane Ridge Visitor Center to get the lay of the land and decided to hike the Hurricane Hill trail up to Hurricane Ridge for a view of the Olympic Mountain Range. The trail was a mile and a half long switchback trail with an average time to complete of one and a half hours due to a 700 foot rise in elevation. It was tough walking almost continually uphill but we made it to the top and had a spectacular view of the mountains and surrounding area.

Olympic Mountains 2

Spent most of the day checking out different views of the mountains with a 360 degree view of the surrounding area. Since this was the only area which was ideal for photography in this part of the park we decided that we would travel the next day to Forks, Washington which is in the coastal area of the park. I was surprised to find that this area of Washington is home to many Native Americans;  The Hoh, Ozette, Quileute and the Makan Tribes who reside on Reservations along the coast . There were quite a few beaches along the coast which are part of the park so we selected 3 to check out over the next two days; Second Beach, Rialto Beach and Ruby Beach. The first stop was Second Beach (there was a First and Third Beach) which was spectacular with many sea stacks of different sizes and shapes. Later in the day we went to Rialto Beach which was nothing special but we did stay to watch the sunset there. The next morning I went to check out Ruby Beach and it was very nice and quiet and I took many photographs of that beach. One of the issues over the days we spent in the park was the large number of forest fires in the area which made for hazy looking images, Ruby Beach looked eerie and I took the following image, that is mostly smoke and some fog:

Ruby Beach 1

We chose to photograph sunset at Second Beach on the last day there. The smoke took a little away form the sunset but I did get a decent shot with the large sea stack and an opening in the rocky jetty extending out from the beach. As with most of the beaches in Oregon, you have to climb over a large number of dead trees on all  the beaches to get to the water. My estimate was that there was about 20 to 30 feet of logs to climb over to get to the actual beach, tough to maneuver with photographic equipment .

Second Beach Sunset

The only other area of interest in the park was the Hoh Rainforest but there was no way to drive through the park to get there. You would have had to go all around the park and reenter from the south to get to the rainforest. We chose to save that for another trip. All in all a great experience.

Rhubarb Bars

My husband loves anything rhubbarb.  This recipe is especially his favorite….mine too because it is super easy and uses lots of eggs (remember my chickens are big egg layers) .

Here is the recipe:
1 c melted butter
10 T powdered sugar
2 c flour
Mix together and press into a jelly roll pan.  Bake 15 minutes at 350 degrees.

4 c diced rhubbarb
4 eggs
2 c sugar
Mix and pour on crust.  Bake 45 minutes at 350 degrees.

I have asked my friend Mandy for this recipe three different times.  Once I lost it.  Once I washed in my jeans and this last time….I am posting it on the blog so I don’t have to ask for it again!  Sometimes I am so unorganized.  Thanks for being patient with me Mandy!
