Rocking positive messages: 'Redding Rocks' group hopes to inspire community
Amber Sandhu
Inspired by a rock painting movement in Port Angeles, Washington, Christina Hudgen decided it was time to bring the same idea to Redding, one that filled the city with encouragement and optimism.
"We need this in Shasta County so bad," she said about the movement, which helps spread "kindness with rocks."
More:Homeless Art Project paints colors of hope
She started the online Facebook group "Redding Rocks" with about 40 people, and began documenting the journey of each of the painted rocks. It wasn't until a year later the original rocks she hid started popping up on the Facebook page.
And now, her online movement has grown close to 8,000 members, and is still expanding.
"I had no idea where this was going to go," Hudgen said. "I knew it was going to bring people together."
People in the group post pictures of the rocks they've painted and go off to hide them in different parts of the county. And once they find a rock, they'll share it in the group, where the original painter will sometimes get in touch.
More:Japanese-American artist helps raise awareness, heal historical wounds
Some of Hudgen's designs include a drawing of a cow sucking on a straw, a fan favorite, rocks painted like strawberries, ladybugs, a rock painted like a slice of cheese cake, and a collection of green painted rocks that make a turtle.
Fans on "Redding Rocks" have showed off their designs by drawing logos of sports teams or writing messages such as "I can and I will" and "Ur a Rock Star."
Hudgen has painted close to 2,800 rocks since she started a year ago, she said, and many have joined her. Just last weekend, she held a painting event at Anderson River Park, expecting to have only about 30 people stop by for the activity. It took her aback when more than 300 people showed up.
But "Redding Rocks" isn't just about Redding. "Don't let the name limit you to where we go," Hudgen said.
More:Wood artist won't be boxed in
People on the Facebook page have shared that rocks in Redding have popped up as far as Washington, D.C., she said.
But for Hudgen, she wants this to be a "big-time mood booster for people" and encourage them to go out and explore their parks to find these rocks, and continue to do the same for others.
Hudgen can be found this weekend at the Sundial Bridge on Saturday for the Wings of Angels event, Alyssa's Wings of Angels Walk, where people can help her hide and paint more rocks.

More Caterpillar layoffs in the wind?
Merle Widmer at Peoria Watch says he's hearing that more people will get the heave-ho today; this gibes with some rumors I was told last week, namely that trimming the white-collar ranks would start in earnest this week.
Presumably these are among the non-production jobs mentioned in the most recent earnings report rather than evidence that things are getting even worse. Caterpillar expects this round of cuts to happen by the end of March.
Milwaukee Journal Sentinel finds a young Indian graduate-to-be who received a job offer in the middle of last year that suddenly went away in December.
Naveen Duraisamy's future seemed enviable: Despite a down economy, the engineering student had a job offer from a Fortune 500 company, where he'd start after graduating from the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
Then, days before his Dec. 21 commencement, the international student got an e-mail from his future employer: Caterpillar Inc. had rescinded the job offer, citing uncertain economic times.
With his student visa about to expire, Duraisamy quickly enrolled in classes so he could stay in the country. He began the job search from scratch.
Duraisamy is among dozens of mostly engineering and business students in Wisconsin who have had job or internship offers rescinded because of the economy.
Lot of this happening these days, I suspect.
National Public Radio tracks the effects of the Mossville, Illinois, layoffs from the factory floor to suppliers to a local restaurant and finally all the way to Las Vegas, where a laid-off Peorian was planning to attend a billiards tournament but might not now, for obvious reasons.
Tammie Cox of nearby Peoria just lost two jobs, which she says earned her about $30,000 a year — neither of them at Caterpillar, but both of them indirectly dependent on the company.
At one job she tracked Caterpillar parts.
"I was employed just recently through DHL Global Forwarding, but because of Caterpillar, they had to lay off employees," she says.
Cox also waited tables at a Mossville restaurant and bar that depended on Caterpillar workers — a place called Building G.
"The Caterpillar workers use to, if they wanted to go have a beer or a get-together with their friends, they would say that there was a meeting at Building G," she says.
Cox says that after a promising start last summer, the restaurant found that Caterpillar workers were cutting back, and business at Building G slowed to a halt.
Seems Cox is an ace eight-ball player who was planning to compete in Vegas but might have to pass on it this year.
Audio of this piece will be available around 7 p.m. EST. This is the kind of piece that NPR excels at.
Cat builds wheel loaders and hydraulic excavators in Aurora; off-highway trucks, motor graders and wheel tractor scrapers in Decatur; and track-type tractors and pipelayers in East Peoria.
Sorry for not posting this sooner; I'm still catching up on the sleep I lost Monday to blog the earnings release (4 a.m. on the East Coast, and I work second shift).
UPDATE: A forum at Peoria.com says the third shift at the Mossville plant was told their layoff started immediately rather than at the end of February, the previous plan.
The layoffs start next Monday when the factory will halt work on its line of articulated lorries for five weeks, with the staff to receive 75 per cent of their usual wages.
Union officials say a further break of six weeks with full pay and another week are also expected leading up to the end of May.
The decision was made after months of negotiations between unions and the company, which employs 700 people at its factory in Mill Hill, in the North West Industrial Estate.
Articulated trucks are basically two-piece machines with a big hinge connecting the tractor to the load carrier in the back. They work best over varied, uneven terrain.
They're far smaller than the huge mining trucks Caterpillar builds in its Decatur, Illinois, plant, where I've been told demand for smaller trucks has also dried up.
Caterpillar is letting go of about 15 percent of the staff at its Pontiac, Illinois, factory, the Bloomington Pantagraph reports.
The layoffs, which will take effect Feb. 16, are the latest blow to the community of about 12,000 people. Since the start of 2008, the city has seen extensive flooding damage, battled the governor's still-pending decision to close Pontiac Correctional Center — the city's third largest employer — and learned of layoffs at Interlake Material Handling Inc.
At Caterpillar, the layoffs represent about 15 percent of the work force of more than 860 workers. The number doesn't include an undetermined number of managers who may accept buyouts.
I once applied for a job at the Pontiac plant just before the economy cratered in about 1981 or so. Fate smiled on me, I figure.
As long as we're on the subject, Cat won't say how many of the 5,000 working in Decatur will be let go.
This article in Fortune questions the notion that you have no leverage in a layoff. It notes that under certain conditions, you might be able to finagle a better severance package.
For instance, let's say your company's rule of thumb is two weeks' pay for each year of service. "That's a commonly used formula left over from when people tended to stay with the same employer for many years," Bayer notes. "But suppose you are a 50-year-old manager making $100,000 a year who was wooed away from a competitor and had to move across the country to take this job, and let's say that was just two or three years ago. Is four or six weeks' severance pay really fair?" In such a case, even the most hardnosed boss is likely to agree you should get more.
Another consideration: negotiating more favorable health coverage.
Sounds pretty Pollyanna-ish to a natural-born cynic like me. I mean, really, would any of this fly at a company like Caterpillar? Never know till you ask.
A more serious bit of advice to be culled from the article: find out your severance rights and do your utmost to get every penny you have coming to you. You might not get more but you should not settle for less.
RealClearMarkets posts an Investors Business Daily commentary encouraging lawmakers to break eliminate trade barriers with Colombia, and everywhere else for that matter.
Economist Dan Griswold, director of the Center for Trade Policy Studies at the Cato Institute, found exports were responsible for 6,667 new U.S. jobs at Caterpillar alone.
Without free trade, Caterpillar is stuck paying around $100,000 in tariffs for each earthmover it sells to Colombia, a big mining country that's one of Caterpillar's best markets.
The article notes that trade unions in Colombia wants the government to reduce the tariffs so their employers will buy more Cat equipment.
Cat's already sounding the alarm against "buy American" provisions in the stimulus package, which might sound odd coming from a U.S.-based company, but the Cat brass are more concerned about the blowback from trade barriers. If we put anti-trade rules in our stimulus bills, so will everybody else.
This is precisely what happened in the Great Depression: laws designed to protect jobs killed them by discouraging trade.

Out With The LSAT
Image by Picasa, courtesy of Creative Commons
Like many students in their final year at McGill, as I attempt to balance academics, extracurriculars, work, internships and application deadlines, I find myself sleep-deprived and scrambling to meet various deadlines. Yet, as I huddle in McLennan Library in the wee hours of the night cramming for midterms, I can't help but commiserate those particularly jaded students in their final year of studies whom, in addition to these academic and resume-building commitments, must also prepare for standardized tests.
In particular, the majority of prospective law students are in the process of preparing for the Law School Admission Test (LSAT). For those unfamiliar, the LSAT is a four-hour exam required for admission to law schools accredited by the American Bar Association and Canadian common-law schools. According to the Law School Admission Council (LSAC), this entrance exam is designed "to assess key skills needed for success in law school," such as reading comprehension, critical thinking, and logical reasoning. LSAT scores are used to predict how well students will perform in their first year of law school and, ultimately, on the bar exam. For this reason, one's LSAT score is an integral component of the law school admissions process, often weighing equally, if not more, than their grade point average (GPA).
So, just how much time and money is involved in preparing for the LSAT? The Princeton Review recommends two hundred and fifty to three hundred hours of studying over a three-month period, which is equivalent to approximately twenty hours per week. In addition to gruelling months of due diligence in preparation for this entrance exam, law applicants are expected to spend a significant amount of money to achieve their full potential. Registering for the LSAT costs over three hundred dollars, and approximately one out of every four candidates take the LSAT more than once. Review books and practice tests cost at least 100 dollars. Moreover, many students enroll in LSAT courses, which cost approximately 1,500 dollars, and use 7sage, an online study tool that costs $700 USD, in order to raise their scores from their initial timed diagnostic. With all these costs considered, the price of taking the LSAT ranges from four hundred to three thousand dollars. Evidently, the LSAT's impose additional strain on prospective law students, during an already highly stressful admissions process.
I don't believe that the LSAT should be used to determine law-school acceptance precisely because it is not predictive of future legal success and is skewed towards those who can afford the financial costs and the time-commitment that is demanded of this exam.
While the LSAT is arguably predictive of first-year law school grades, it does not guarantee further legal success, as many students adapt to the techniques of law school exam writing therefrom. A recent report released by Law School Transparency (LST) itself refutes the claim that the LSAT predicts the probability of passing the bar. The study found that students from one law school who had LSAT scores in the 147-149 range had a bar pass rate of 57 percent, while a cohort of students attending another law school had a pass rate of 23 percent. Evidently, many alternative factors significantly affect bar passage rates other than LSAT scores. According to another study, GPA, college quality, choice of major, and work experience are more significant and reliable predictors of law school success and bar passage rate.
The LSAT is also unfairly stacked against linguistic minorities and those from less affluent backgrounds.
In addition, while the LSAT measures logical skills, it cannot possibly quantify other skills that are integral to successful performance in the practice of law. Examples of such skills include work ethic, intuition, humility, self-confidence, integrity, emotional intelligence and interpersonal skills. While syntactic skills are undoubtedly valuable, these latter qualities are salient in the formation of lawyers that are sought for in today's society. I believe that other facets of the admission application, such as reference letters, interviews and curriculum vitae are appropriate devices for evaluating the attributes of candidates, and in turn of predicting success in the legal profession.
The LSAT is also unfairly stacked against linguistic minorities and those from less affluent backgrounds. On such standardized tests, which are offered only in English, native English speakers consistently outscore those for whom English is a second language. Moreover, LSAT scores are directly correlated with family income. Applicants who can afford to enroll in review courses, to pay for tutors, to buy a multitude of books and practice tests, not to mention having the privileged background to be able to write the LSAT more than once, are clearly at an advantage than the thousands of candidates who can't. The time-commitment for preparing for the LSAT will also inevitably be a greater sacrifice to those who must work to cover the costs of their education.
These financial and time-commitment barriers preclude certain students from even attempting to apply to law school, let alone securing a spot.
In order to be competitive, less privileged individuals will have to make a choice: do they work extra hours to cover the imposing costs, or do they work less in order to attribute the required time to study? These financial and time-commitment barriers preclude certain students from even attempting to apply to law school, let alone securing a spot. Moreover, just because affluent students score higher on the LSAT, this does not necessarily engender more successful law school performance. According to a recent Harvard study, students with lower LSAT scores and with low socioeconomic status became more successful on average than more affluent students who performed better on this exam. This suggests that a student's drive to succeed is a better indicator of future success than the mere outcome of a standardized test.
The LSAT fundamentally disadvantages linguistic minorities and those from lower class backgrounds. Instead of just the LSAT, law schools should adopt a more holistic approach based on GPA, curriculum vitae, interview and reference letters as a more fair and reliable measure of law school success and beyond. In order to pave the way for a legitimately diverse student body, law school admissions must end the practice of these limiting, inaccessible standardized tests.

I finally got my order of Technical Difficulties, Superheroes and Getting Heavier, so far I've gone though TD and now I'm starting Superheroes. I was wondering if anyone has large pics of these covers for the album art in iTunes?
I think there's this place called www.google.com somewhere on the web that has them, but I'm not really sure.
yeah, i just googled the albums and placed them in Itunes manually.
But you can get some scripts to run in itunes that will automatically do it, and also get lyrics and what not.
wow this site is great! it has everything.
I know mate! I get all my homework on it!

Toyota facility tests cars that communicate with each other, roads
Cars receive information from sensors, transmitters installed on streets to minimize risk of accidents
by Yuri Kageyama, THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Intelligent Transport System
SUSONO, Japan—Toyota Motor Corp. is testing car safety systems that allow vehicles to communicate with each other and the roads they are on in a just completed facility in Japan the size of three baseball stadiums.
The cars at the Intelligent Transport System site receive information from sensors and transmitters installed on the streets to minimize the risk of accidents in situations such as missing a red light, cars advancing from blind spots and pedestrians crossing the street.
The system also tests cars that transmit such information to each other.
In a test drive for journalists, the presence of a pedestrian triggered a beeping sound in the car and a picture of a person popped up on a screen in front of the driver.
A picture of an arrow popped up to indicate an approaching car at an intersection.
An electronic female voice said, "It's a red light," if the driver was about to ignore a red light.
The 3.5-hectare test site looks much like the artificial roads at driving schools, except bigger, and is in a corner of the Japanese automaker's technology centre near Mount Fuji in Shizuoka Prefecture, central Japan.
Toyota officials said the smart-car technology it is developing will be tested on some Japanese roads starting in 2014.
Similar tests are planned for the U.S., although details were not decided.
Such technology is expected to be effective because half of car accidents happen at intersections, according to Toyota.
Managing Officer Moritaka Yoshida said Toyota sees preventing collisions, watching out for pedestrians and helping the driving of the elderly as key to ensuring safety in the cars of the future.
"We offer the world's top-level technology," Yoshida told reporters.
All automakers are working on pre-crash safety technology to add value to their cars, especially for developed markets such as the U.S., Europe and Japan.
But the strongest sales growth is coming from emerging markets, which are eventually expected to show more interest in safety technology.
Toyota's Japanese rival Nissan Motor Co. recently showed cars that were smart enough to stop on their own, park themselves and swerve away from pedestrians who suddenly jumped into the vehicle's path.
Toyota also showed a new feature that helps the driver brake harder to prevent bumping into the vehicle in front.
Toyota officials said drivers often fail to push hard on their brakes in such situations because they get into a panic.
Toyota said the technology will be available "soon," without giving a date, and hinted it will be offered for Lexus luxury models.
Luxury models already offer similar safety features such as automatic braking.
Technology involving precise sensors remains expensive, sometimes costing as much as a cheaper Toyota car.
Toyota has also developed sonar sensors that help drivers avoid crashing in parking lots.
One system even knows when the driver pushes on the gas pedal by mistake instead of the brakes, and will stop automatically.
Rear-end collisions make up 34 per cent of car accidents in Japan, comprising the biggest category, followed by head-on collisions at 27 per cent.
Cars that stop and go on their own, avoiding accidents, are not pure science fiction, experts say.
Alberto Broggi, professor at the University of Parma and an expert on intelligent transportation systems, said the idea of the accident-free cars is "very hot," and probably within reach on some roads within several years.
"I'm sure we will arrive to such a technology even if I don't know when exactly," he said.

Govt Hand Back Control Of Corporation Finances
[Updated with video] Minister of Home Affairs Michael Fahy said today [Mar 13] that the Ministry of Finance has issued a set of financial instructions to the Corporation of Hamilton, and he has lifted the "stewardship notice," which permits the Corporation to move on with managing their financial affairs in consultation with me the Minister.
The financial instructions require certain policies be followed, such as having expenses over $50,000 approved by the Ministry. The Minister also said they will "keep an eye on things" to make sure the instructions are followed.
In December 2013, Minister Fahy — citing "maladministration" and the Ombudsman's report – announced that the Government would "temporarily assume stewardship of the Corporation's financial administration and treasury functions, with immediate effect."
It resulted in all financial matters being carried out only upon the authorisation of the Minister of Home Affairs, including tendering, accounts receivable/payable, purchasing, and all other money management matters.
Copy of the notice issued by the Ministry of Home Affairs in December 2013
In March 2013, Ombudsman for Bermuda Arlene Brock announced she would launch an investigation into the Corportation, citing the "continuing controversy and apparent growing loss of confidence in the Corporation."
Ms Brock said maladministration had "permeated" the City's administration, and she was very critical of the method used to award the 262 year lease for the Waterfront Development – a lease that was overturned by MPs last week following a vote in the House of Assembly.
The press conference has just ended and we will update with the full statement and video as able.
Update 2.59pm: Minister Fahy's full statement follows below:
Last year you will recall that various amendments to the Municipalities Act 1923 were made to improve the governance of the Municipalities – St. George's and Hamilton.
These amendments focused on key areas such as the creation of Financial Instructions, a Code of Ethics, a Council Meeting Guide, to an Asset Management Plan among other matters.
Also last year, you will recall that the Ombudsman raised concerns regarding certain operations of the Corporation of Hamilton in relation to financial management in her report of 13th December 2013 entitled "Ombudsman's Own Motion Investigation into Governance at the Corporation of Hamilton"
In light of the grave concerns highlighted by the Ombudsman, acting in my capacity of Minister with responsibility for Municipalities I issued a Stewardship Notice on December 19th 2013 pursuant to Section 7B (6) of the Municipalities Act 1923 thereby taking over Stewardship of the Corporation on a temporary basis.
At that time I stated that the order would be lifted once matters like Financial Instructions were formalized pursuant to the Municipalities Act 1923.
The Notice specified that:
"The Minister believes that, in accordance with section 7B (6) of the Act, it is in the public interest to temporarily assume stewardship of the financial administration and treasury services of the Corporation of Hamilton because the services of the Corporation are in a poor state due to maladministration as illustrated by the Report of the Ombudsman for Bermuda tabled in the Legislature".
This morning I can report that the Minister of Finance has issued a set of Financial Instructions to the Chief Operating Officer of the Corporation of Hamilton that must be used by the Corporation of Hamilton in accordance with Section 7B of the Act with immediate effect to ensure good governance of their finances moving forward.
Additionally this morning, I sent a letter to the Chief Operating Officer of the Corporation of Hamilton in accordance with Section 5.1.2 and 5.1.3 of the Financial Instructions that formally approved a fiscal budget for 2014-15 that the senior officers of the Corporation and I considered reasonable for them to carry out the business of the Corporation of Hamilton for this period.
As a result of these measures now in place, I can formally advise that today I have lifted the Stewardship Notice of 19th December 2013, which in essence, permits the Corporation to move on with managing their financial affairs in consultation with me as Minister with responsibility for Municipalities where appropriate.
The Code of Ethics and Council meeting Guide are in the final stages of drafting. However, I believe the most critical piece at this time was the Financial Instructions being in place to ensure the Corporation could assume their day to day functions independent of the Ministry, save for areas where Ministerial approval is required.

Enquiring minds will want to know the background to this change of heart.
The public must all be aware of the significant reliance upon the Ombudsman's report by teh government. It has been used to justify the Minister taking over the financial affairs of the Corporation and the cancelling of the waterfront contract.
We will all be watching to see if this high level of reliance on the report is justified.
1minute says:
I guess you didn't read the article…
It was a temporary arrangement and the CoH has new rules that they must play by…
nuffin but the truth says:
Stupid move!
fool's loaf says:
So now that the Minister feels he has sorted out the waterfront deal to his satisfaction he don't have to worry no more with managing the COH finances? Seriously OBA, you lot take us for fools each day no wonder ya feel the need to change ya plates.
daughter of the water says:
Perhaps when you learn how to speak and write correctly, your opinion will carry some weight.
Mike Hind says:
Any evidence that this was why they turned over financing?
Or are you just speculating in the most negative way possible and presenting that speculation as fact in order to try to score political points?
I'm going to guess the latter.

Let's face it hamilton is responsible for a lot of eegrunce, they have run afoul of lawfull conduct before and is needing of adjuctment in one specific way I myself feal necessary.

Alvin Williams says:
All this was done to undo a land lease agreement that the corporation had entered into. The principles who had that agreement in hand should sue the
government for using the law to over turn a business agreement. So much for free enterprise not so free depending who you are?
Evidence?
And mate, the developer group was going to redevelop probably Bermuda's most valuable piece of waterfront, with no public consultation, no environmental studies, no feasibility studies, no nothing! Just approved and lease granted by the stroke of a pen. That says a lot for both parties involved in the deal, and quite frankly i am happy that this lease was overturned. That way ALL of us are able to have a say in how we think our island commerce centre should be transformed into! Just look at the difference between the APP (not too sure of the name of the company) plans and John Swans. 100 times better, and it can be even 100 times better than that!
Kangoocar says:
Alvin, this is a new low from even you!!! Are you seriously suggesting they sue the govt??? You do realize that is YOU and everyone else as well?? Ok, I know you can't think that far because of your continuos fight against the establishment!! But let me help you, those wannabe developers had no chance in h.ll of getting the financing!!! Whether you like or understand it, the OBA saved all of our a$$,es on this!!! Thankfully that train wreck was stopped before it could happen!!!
One word….cement.
Silence Do Good says:
Think before you blog and try blogging for once without politricking.
Who has the Par-la-ville develoment and lease? A deal between Government and CoH struct by the previous government and the current government changing the Municipalities Act so that the CoH can guarentee a loan to get the site developed. A plan that has been in the works for too long…
Good is Good and Bad is Bad you can spin it all you want for party motives and secret back room deals etc. etc. The CoH plan for the Waterfront was hasty and bad, even the previous government's created post of Ombusman found it highly suspect.
If the previous government was in power now they would be moving ahead with their $700 K consultancy plans to abolish the corporations and who would be managing the Waterfront? Government or the CoH who gets a second chance to do it right for the people of Bermuda. Who knows the current CoH administration might do a better job this time around that might give them a chance of re-election.

Petra Gotar (2014) Importance of balance for safe mountaineering in pre-school period. Diploma thesis.
In the thesis we focused on the importance of balance for safe mountaineering. By checking Slovenian and foreign modern literature we highlighted the fundamental motion phase as the key phase for preschool child development. We described main aspects of motoric abilities that develop in preschool period among which we highlighted the importance of balance. We pointed out balance as one of the key abilities (such as eg. endurance) which are needed for safe mountaineering. We wanted to know if it is possible to prepare and execute mountaineering motion tasks in the valley and if fatigue results in poorer balance tasks performance. Therefore we set two main goals: to discover if it is possible to simulate mountaineering motion tasks on the flat and to discover whether fatigue influences the balance in methodical task performance. Using four methodical tasks we analysed 29 children from first and second age group of Dominik Savio Domžale kindergarten. Same tasks were preformed twice, before and after fatigue was induced. Fatigue was induced by a half-hour walk up the hill. Methodical tasks represented the variables in the research. These sample variables are: walking the marked way, walking on different surfaces, jumping from high bases and driving the balance bike. We observed differences between age groups, balance task performance before and after fatigue and influence of different conditions during the performance of balance tasks. Data and children fatigue grades (from 1 to 5) were collected in tables, from which charts were drawn and results comparison was made. We predicted that we can simulate mountaineering movement tasks, the differences between age groups would be noticeable from results and that fatigue would have greater influence on younger children. We proved that we can simulate mountaineering balance tasks on the flat using certain props, but not all the tasks. There are various factors (eg. rocks, narrow paths, weather conditions) that we cannot find in the valley. Results show the influence of fatigue on balance. We noticed that children performed methodical units of balance development poorer when tired and that results of older children were slightly better than those of younger children. Younger children get tired earlier than older but the differences are not statistically significant.

Jesus proclaims in John 10 that He and the Father are One. There's no real separating of this Trinity union. Sure, as humans, we appreciate knowing the different 'roles' of God the Father, God the Son and God the Spirit, but, in all reality, they are so unified that they are One.
Considering Jesus as our Father is an essential aspect of a vibrant walk with Him. Perhaps no other name for God elicits greater emotions. If our earthly father has been wonderful, we can readily fall into the arms of our loving Heavenly Father because we may be more apt to trust Him and love Him. Conversely, if we have grown up in a home with an absent, neglectful or harsh earthly father, we may be very hesitant to believe that our Heavenly One really wants to care for us.
God has blessed me tremendously with an earthly dad who has loved and cared for me throughout the years. Is he perfect? When I was younger, I'm sure I would have said yes. But, obviously, he is not. No earthly father is. However, my dad has provided a picture of a father who has loved me, disciplined me, cared for me, treasured me. I am deeply grateful for a relationship with him and for the way he opened the door for me to receive the fatherhood of God too.
A great earthly dad is limited in many ways compared to God, not the least of which is that he is not everlasting like our Heavenly Father. Our fallen world requires that this temporal body will pass away one day and the love and care of our here-and-now fathers will become a cherished memory. But, Jesus is an everlasting Father. One who will never fade. One who will never perish. To coin a phrase from a favorite children's movie, He will be from "infinity and beyond"!
So, what if you have difficulty accepting Jesus as your Everlasting Father? Maybe your human father was very fallen and has jaded you in believing that God could ever care for you and call you His very own daughter. I would encourage you to go to God's Word and read about Him, see His trustworthy promises, and understand His Fatherly love for His children.


If you have ever wondered what happened to 80's gameshow supremo Jim Bowen (the 'B' is silent) then look no further; he is currently turning out for the Superstars. Following an early career as a stand up comedian and then subsequent presenter of Saturday evening favourite Bullseye, Jim has now moved on to greater things re-creating himself as an effective, and stylish batsman who's a pretty handy off-spinner to boot.
Jim made his debut for Superstars in 2011 and with best bowling figures of 4 for 17 might look as though he knows what he's doing with the ball. An economy rate of 10 would beg to differ. His batting is similar with the ability to make quick runs but also the ability to make a quicker exit from the crease. Jim has shown himself to be a good fielder - by which i mean not as hopeless as most the rest of the squad.
Jim's real skill though is back in the pavilion; whether it's buying birthday sambucas, singing 'Kiss from a rose' - honestly you wouldn't know is wasn't Seal singing if you closed your eyes - or simply showing us he hasn't lost his touch on the dartboard, Jim is a stalwart of the Superstars social scene. "Super, smashing, great" as Jim would say.
Jim is still a relative newcomer so has not reached any of the prestigous "Stats Clubs" but given his all round abilities he is looking a good bet to make it. Keep an eye out for that, especially once his obvious class shows at the crease. He is already one of the few players to have scored a run, taken a wicket, caught a catch and earned a stumping for the club.

Article Excerpts
New research from the University of Buffalo, using computational models of individual people's connectomes, shed light into individual differences in brain activation patterns, as well as how those patterns may change over time. Since 2009, scientists around the globe have worked to create the Human Connectome, a structural blueprint of the various neural pathways and connections that underlie thought, reason, emotion, and behavior in the brain. Thanks to those pioneering efforts, we now understand that different regions of the brain work together in concert, forming specific networks that facilitate movement, or learning, or our interactions with others—the cognitive skills that allow us to survive and thrive in our daily lives. Yet despite these advances, it's still not entirely clear how these networks may differ from person to person. Sarah Muldoon, a mathematician at the University of Buffalo, has long been interested in understanding individual differences in the brain.
Computers and chimera states
While human beings share similar brain networks that underlie skills like auditory functioning or how we pay attention to the world around us, brain scans show that these networks can be activated in different ways in different people. Muldoon and former post-doctoral fellow Kanika Bansal wondered if chimera states, a concept used in modern physics, might offer some insights into how individual connectomes show different patterns of activation. Physicists were intrigued to find that when they coupled several oscillators (devices that produce energy waves) together in the exact same fashion, they did not always produce the same kind of consistent, synchronized activity as expected."
Muldoon said that this kind of modeling might help better distinguish true signal from noise in neuroimaging data as scientists study individual differences, and in it may also help sharpen personalized medicine strategies as well.
"We are already doing brain stimulation treatments and neuromodulation for disorders like depression and Parkinson's disease," she said. "As we continue to develop these kinds of treatment strategies, it's going to be really important to understand where there may be a lot of individual variability in activation patterns between people, so you can make sure you are stimulating the right areas."
That said, Muldoon argued that the most important takeaway from this study is that there is a lot of diversity in patterns of brain activity and it's important that scientists are able to develop methods and models to better quantify and understand such differences.
"Using this kind of framework, we can start to ask, 'What regions are involved in this particular function? How might the activation pattern differ if I stimulate here versus there?'" she said. "That is the kind of information that can tell us something about how each of these networks interacts with the brain as a whole, as well as how their activity may differ from person to person, or even how it may differ in one person over time. We can really start to look at the different factors that contribute to these different connectivity patterns and understand how they work together to give rise to a particular ability in the brain."

This work is grounded in network theory, a field that draws upon tools from mathematics, physics, engineering, and computer science to understand, predict, and describe complex interactions in systems of connected elements. We use network analysis to understand the relationship between the underlying structural connections in the brain, observed brain signals, and functional interactions between neurons/brain regions. Additionally, we develop techniques to investigate how the spatial location of network elements relates to their role in overall network function and how this differs between healthy and pathological settings, with a specific interest in epilepsy research.

1935: A thank-you note from MacArthur
From the archives: August 10, 1935
Gen. Douglas MacArthur
[Editor's note: Gen. Douglas MacArthur, then the Army's chief of staff, wrote to thank the editor of the Army and Navy Journal, John Callan O'Loughlin, for his editorials in support of a bill that helped to speed up officer promotions, which had slowed to a crawl after World War I.]
My dear Colonel O'Loughlin:
Enactment into law of the War Department Promotion Bill has naturally occasioned real gratification throughout the Army. In the long struggle that led to final success every assistance from our friends elicited our appreciation and gratitude. In persistently publicizing the damaging effects of the situation then existing and in advocating the reforms provided in the Army Bill, the support of the Army and Navy Journal was particularly effective.
You have served the interests of justice and efficiency and have rendered the Army lasting service that every real friend of national defense will gratefully remember.
With cordial personal regards,
Sincerely, Douglas MacArthur, General, Chief of Staff

Carrying things on your bike doesn't always need to be a well planned out affair with the best gear, ideal bags, or perfect route. Sometimes it's adventurous to make due with what you have to accomplish a particular goal. In the three videos below, I decided to bring you along to show my haphazardly assembled bikepacking setup. It's not ideal and normally I would have brought a proper setup with a full handlebar bag or harness and dry bag, but I had the Revelate pocket in my backpack already. I had used that pocket the the week before on a ride when I had kept some everyday essentials in it. Since I had many things that I needed for my day within it, I decided to just throw it in my backpack for work, jump on the bike, and go. Once I got to work I had an idea about bringing more items home with me that I wanted to have for the weekend.
Check out what I was fortunate enough to demo today!
Many thanks to Mikki from Revolution Cycles in Solana Beach, CA for hosting and Cori from Salsa Cycles !
Just thought I would quickly share this photo and remind us all that it isn't really about wheel size, suspension or not, what gear you have or any of that.
Its about getting out for a ride! Longer the better.
Today I will head out this afternoon to get in some miles on a solo ride nearby my house.
Hopefully the focus will be more on enjoyment and less on training miles, but that is an internal battle I am all too familiar with.

Q: Disable shipping method on Dokan if the store is closed Is there any way to use this code for disabling a specific shipping method? For example, if I want to use a "flat rate" method, and if the store closes, I want this method not to appear.
I tried to replace the is_purchasable hook with woocommerce_load_shipping_methods with instance id "6", but that didn't work.
Below is the code that is working for disabling a purchase, but not the shipping method.
add_filter( 'woocommerce_is_purchasable', 'prefix_woocommerce_is_purchasable', 10, 2 );
function prefix_woocommerce_is_purchasable( $is_purchasable, $product ) {

// Get the store id.
$store_id = get_post_field( 'post_author', $product->get_id() );

// Get the store info.
$store_info = dokan_get_store_info( $store_id );

// Get the store time enabled or not.
$is_dokan_store_time_enabled = $store_info['dokan_store_time_enabled'];

// If the store time is enabled, check whether the store is open or not.
// Else the store is open.
if ( 'yes' === $is_dokan_store_time_enabled ) {
    $is_purchasable = dokan_is_store_open( $store_id );
} else  {
    $is_purchasable = true;
}

return $is_purchasable;

}

A: You can try this code in the child theme's functions.php file.
remove_filter( 'woocommerce_cart_shipping_packages',
'dokan_custom_split_shipping_packages' );

Dokan sipping will be disabled by using this code. Admin will manage shipping from the backend (WooCommerce Shipping)

Q: Get file ID of a given path is there a direct method to get file ID by giving a path (e.g. /some/folder/deep/inside/file.txt)? I know this can be done by recursively checking folder's contents, but a simple call would be much better.
Thanks

A: We currently don't have support for this, but the feedback will definitely be considered as we continue building out the v2 API.

A: An alternative to this would be to extract the target file/folder name from the path and search for it using the search API
like this: https://api.box.com/2.0/search?query=filename.txt
This gives back all the matching entries with their path_collections which provides the whole hierarchy for every entry. Something like this:
 "path_collection": {
                "total_count": 2,
                "entries": [
                    {
                        "type": "folder",
                        "id": "0",
                        "sequence_id": null,
                        "etag": null,
                        "name": "All Files"
                    },
                    {
                        "type": "folder",
                        "id": "2988397987",
                        "sequence_id": "0",
                        "etag": "0",
                        "name": "dummy"
                    }
                ]
           }

Path for this entry can be reverse engineered as /dummy/filename.txt
Just compare this path against the path you're looking for. If it matches, then that's the search result you're looking for. This is just to reduce the number of ReST calls you need to make to arrive at the result. Hope it makes sense.

A: Here is my approach on how to get a folder id based on a path, without recursively going through the whole tree, this can be easily adapted for file as well. This is based on PHP and CURL, but it's very easy to use it in any other application as well:
//WE SET THE SEARCH FOLDER:
$search_folder="XXXX/YYYYY/ZZZZZ/MMMMM/AAAAA/BBBBB";

//WE NEED THE LAST BIT SO WE CAN DO A SEARCH FOR IT
$folder_structure=array_reverse (explode("/",$search_folder));

// We run a CURL (I'm assuming all the authentication and all other CURL parameters are already set!) to search for the last bit, if you want to search for a file rather than a folder, amend the search query accordingly
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://api.box.com/2.0/search?query=".urlencode($folder_structure[0])."&type=folder");

// Let's make a cine array out of that response
$json=json_decode(curl_exec($curl),true);
$i=0;
$notthis=true;

// We need to loop trough the result, till either we find a matching element, either we are at the end of the array
while ($notthis && $i<count($json['entries'])) {
  $result_info=$json['entries'][$i];

     //The path of each search result is kept in a multidimensional array, so we just rebuild that array, ignoring the first element (that is Always the ROOT)
     if ($search_folder == implode("/",array_slice(array_column($result_info['path_collection']['entries'],'name'),1))."/".$folder_structure[0])
        {
         $notthis=false;
         $folder_id=$result_info['id'];
        }
      else
        {
         $i++;
        }
   }
if ($notthis) {echo "Path not found....";} else {echo "Folder id: $folder_id";}


An awful lot of hot air and column inches have been dedicated to this year's Bordeaux en primeur campaign with journalists and amateur bloggers alike keen to tell the wine trade how it should be done.
As one at the 'pointy end' of the fine wine trade I am acutely aware that a speedy, well-timed release of wines from the top châteaux would be great. However, every year the campaign gets more drawn out and complicated as the wineries try to satisfy a growing worldwide demand while maximising their return on products which in many cases are seen as much as investment vehicles as bottles of beautiful wine.
For the uninitiated en primeur describes a wine bought the year after harvest but before it is bottled, and is often the only way to get hold of the most sought-after wines. Certainly it's probably the most cost-effective way to put together a claret collection. So, laying to one side the investment-grade wines, about which everything that could be said has already been said, let's have a look at the rest of the wines offered from the 2010 vintage.
A one word summary of the quality of 2010 Bordeaux would be 'fabulous'. But 2009 was fabulous too, wasn't it? Unequivocally yes, but the two vintages are very different. Unlike 2009, which was hot and dry, 2010 was really just dry. So, again unlike the opulent, almost Californian richness of the 2009s, the 2010s have a real freshness and balance that is highly appealing.
During our visit to Bordeaux in April, winemaker after winemaker told us that 2010 is truly exceptional. Across the board the levels of potential alcohol, acidity and tannins reached record levels, but crucially they managed to retain the balance I've mentioned. Without it the wines would have been clumsy but with it comes class and longevity. These are wines to buy in quantity and squirrel away. Especially in the lower price brackets, which may not always achieve the heights of the more exalted names, all the wines we have chosen merit serious consideration. For instance, Château Amelisse, one of Lay & Wheeler's perennial favourites, made by star winemaker of Pomerol Denis Durantou, comes in at just over £10 a bottle and is certainly a 10-year wine.
Definitely Château Haut-Batailley at £330 a case. An absolutely archetypal Pauillac, gorgeously put together and showing the famous cigar-box and pencil-lead aromas of the best Médoc wines. Tasted blind this would undoubtedly be up with the very best.
Léoville Barton. Always a favourite among Majestic staff and always good value. We tasted the 2009 and 2010 alongside each other and, in my view, the 2010 shone.
Grand-Puy-Lacoste. No apologies for recommending another wine made under the auspices of François-Xavier Borie (like Haut-Batailley). A fantastic expression of cabernet Sauvignon.
Money no object? Then it has to be the fabulous Pomerol, Château l'Evangile. Incredibly precise, tightly-wound yet rich and silky. We tasted this last during an unparalleled two hours in Pomerol and I didn't spit it out!


Sure, I had seen how many people had clicked 'going' on the Facebook page, but I only saw that as a number and I didn't think of the power behind it.
When I first saw a post about the 'School Strike' in November 2018 on Facebook, I admittedly didn't give it much attention. However, as the date drew nearer, students started talking about it more and more, and we all started to consider whether this was something we should be a part of. The School Executive was asked about the idea of student involvement, and based on the relevance to our studies in Geography and Science, it was decided that participation was allowed. In the week leading up to the strike, we began to plan posters as well as the logistics of the day. Even the students who didn't care about climate change or worse yet, don't believe in it, were involved in the poster making. These small acts were raising awareness and soon around 100 students from my school (Santa Sabina College) had committed themselves to taking part in the strike.

I could barely sleep the night before the strike, and though I was extremely excited to take part I was also sceptical about the total number of people that might turn out. I shouldn't have been worried. I was totally overwhelmed with the amount of other students and people that were participating. I actually started tearing up because it made me realise that people do care. Before this, I had no awareness of kids my age acting on climate change on their own accord. Sure, I had seen how many people had clicked 'going' on the Facebook page, but I only saw that as a number and I didn't think of the power behind it. Right in front of me thousands of school kids who wanted to be there because they wanted change. They know that what's occurring right now isn't fair on anybody or anything and the government must act upon that.
The day went by pretty quickly and it's a bit of a blur, but I just remember how inspired and empowered I felt.
Over the course of two hours, there was chanting, speeches, performances and more chanting. I was in the middle section of the crowd and so I couldn't really hear everything that was being said, but what I could hear really resonated with me. It made me want to do so much more than I already did. Although I was and always have been very passionate about climate change, I had never really been that involved in anything. Besides occasionally signing a petition online, making sure my friends pick up their rubbish or telling everyone in my year 9 camp group to love nature and be grateful for it, I'd never really done anything substantial. After that day, I knew I had to start doing more.

I started by just doing smaller things. I began sharing many more posts on my social media, which actually was a great way for me to continue my activism whilst being on holidays or away. As most of us do spend a lot of time on social media, such media activism is quite effective. By just having that casual climate-related post come up in your feed, it reminds you of the severity of the issue and how you need to be a part of the solution. As well as that, I started to make small habitual changes in my life, for instance going vegetarian, taking the bus more and trying to bring my plastic usage to an absolute minimum. As far as activism goes, I am now more involved than I ever have been before.
One of my babysitters from when I was younger saw that I went to the strike and got in contact with me via Facebook messenger and told me that she was an Australian Youth Climate Coalition (AYCC) employee and explained a few of their programs I might be interested in and could apply for. One of them in particular caught my attention. It was the AYCC Student Climate Leadership Program. I left it for a few weeks and then one night out of nowhere remembered it and decided to apply. A few days later I found out that I'd been accepted. So, as of right now, I am five weeks into the SCLP and am loving it. It's basically a four month program which focuses on climate action, climate justice, how to effectively make change, campaigning and leadership skills etc. Even though I am only five weeks in, I feel like I've learnt so much and am ready to start making change!

Through this program, I've also had many more exciting experiences. A few weeks ago, I was one of six school students who got to meet with Tanya Plibersek (the current Deputy Leader of the Labor Party) to discuss the climate goals of the strike and what policies need to be put in place. Unfortunately, Ms Plibersek herself wasn't there, but the meeting went ahead with one of her staff and it was a great experience nevertheless. There is also talk of holding another meeting with her after the election.
If that itself wasn't exciting enough, I'm also now one of the students helping organise the upcoming strike! I've been on a number of calls in the past few weeks discussing the details and logistics of the strike, which are things I didn't even think about before. I am beyond excited for the strike, not only because I'm much more involved in it, but also because if it's anything like last year, it will be amazing! I am ready to be inspired and overwhelmed in the best way possible and hope that there are many other young people in the crowd who are just like that. When you think about it, the 2018 strike acted as a catalyst for all my activism, as I'm sure the next will for many others too.

'School Strike 4 Climate' is an international movement of students holding demonstrations to demand political action on climate change.
