Filming in the Fields: Farmer-to-Farmer Knowledge Sharing in a Changing Climate
Editor's Note: This is a guest-post by Hannah Roessler, a graduate student at the University of Victoria on Vancouver Island who, having done some farming herself, came up with a project to help farmers share information via motion picture. You know. Videos.In a nutshell: Hannah's site features videos of farmers sharing their techniques with the rest of us. farmersfilmanac.com is the site. Thanks to Hannah for the post.
Farmers have always dealt with variable weather – it's pretty much an essential part of farming. But climate change experts have cautioned that we're going to be dealing with increasingly variable weather and extremes; we already see them occurring. I was curious - how do farmers perceive climate change, and what are the ways that they are adapting to it? What are ways to share this practical, adaptive knowledge, farmer-to-farmer?
This curiosity drove me to leave the farm (temporarily) for a desk, and I initiated a research project through the Department of Environmental Studies at the University of Victoria. I began by interviewing farmers on and around Vancouver Island, and right away learned that farmers are certainly experiencing changing environmental conditions, Some changes carry the potential to put farmers out of business overnight - these are some very real risks. Now while this may seem a grim predicament, no one should underestimate farmers; they are a pretty innovative bunch. I found that farmers are finding unique and innovative ways to address these new environmental challenges; they are adapting, as best as they can.
In some ways, innovating and experimenting is what farmers have always done - yet environmental change is occurring at a greater speed and magnitude than we have previously experienced. Unique conditions require unique solutions, and it is critical that we find new ways to share locally-relevant information that deals with locally-specific environmental conditions. Additionally, we have a rapidly aging farmer population, and a lack of funding for agricultural extension in Canada, especially for small-scale organic growers. These realities seem to further widen the prevailing knowledge gap in agriculture, both for experienced farmers and new aspiring farmers. And while we'd all love to spend time visiting other farms to learn new techniques, it can be really difficult to find time to do this.
This is where the Farmers Filmanac comes in. This website is a place for innovative and adaptive techniques and practices to be showcased and shared with farmers in this region, both aspiring and experienced, and even somewhere in between. While this really can't substitute for learning-by-doing on the farm, the videos are just another way to inspire ideas, share knowledge and connect farmers. The farmers I interviewed said they wanted short, quick, easily accessible information – so that's what we tried to do with the videos. There's just so much to learn, so we might as well take a stab at trying different ways of doing it.
As long as farmers continue to generously share their time and techniques, I will continue to add content. If we want to re-imagine our food system, we'll have to try different avenues to make it possible – as we all know, it's all about diversity, so please share your ideas.

As this weekend approaches in the news, before Memorial Day weekend, the new National September 11 Memorial & Museum opens to the public in New York City to serve as a reminder to one of the terrible moments in our history. It provides stories of the many who perished, of the survivors, and to those who helped one another, and will act as a memorial testament to American resilience and perseverance.
Many of us remember that day over 13 1/3 years ago and what we were doing as it has profoundly touched our lives. I remember teaching at a local college that morning and had made plans the day before to take photos after class of a special high tide at my favorite lighthouse, Nubble light, in York, Maine. You see, there had been a wild ocean storm about 600 miles or more out at sea and was stirring up some wild surf for high tide.
I came back from class and shortly found myself barraged with emails from colleagues to check the news regarding the two planes that had crashed into the towers. The visuals caught on the news that we all saw were unbelievable, knowing that lives had been lost, but not knowing at that point the future events that would unfold later as the towers collapsed.
Those of us, who take photos, do so to express our emotions or to also evoke emotions. I was sickened as we all were by the events unfolding. And decided I needed to go out to the lighthouse and make a statement. When I left for the lighthouse, the towers had not collapsed at that time as they were burning infernos.
I arrived at Nubble lighthouse about a couple hours after the planes had crashed into the towers and noticed the flag had already been ordered at half-mast for victims of the disaster. No one else was around (which in itself was strange) and it was a warm sunny day. Technically the lighting was lousy as it was near noon, but I didn't care as the surf was crashing all around me. There was a sense of danger as I set up to take some images close to the shore while walking along slippery rocks, but for all the movement around me, the lighthouse stood strong as our nation's protector with the flag still visible. It was giving me a sense of peace in appreciating the beauty around.
The image I found involved a softness of the waves crashing in the foreground with the sharp clarity of the lighthouse in the background. The lighthouse became a sign of perseverance, resilience, strength, patriotism, and protection. The image is nothing fancy, but it helped me to grieve, as I felt helpless to the incident. I stayed at the lighthouse for a couple of hours, just staring out at the ocean's churning waters, and observing the lighthouse. I found myself praying for the victims at times.
I keep a print of it on my wall in my office at home, with an inscription on the bottom that reads "Remember 9-11." A gentle reminder to never give up and remain steadfast.
We all have different ways of how we dealt with the tragedy of September 11, 2001, this is mine and I simply want to share this image and my simple story as we remember those who were lost. God bless America and God bless us all.

Idea Factory keeps pushing out the otome games to the Japanese faithful, but at least Pyschedelia of the Black Butterfly sounds a little bit interesting, and has some very cool looking characters. I didn't even know the game existed until diving through the distant future releases on Amazon Japan.
NLooks like it was announced at an Otomate event recently, where it looks like a bunch of PSP and PC games are coming to the Vita. Not sure what this tale is about and there's little western information that I can find, anyone know if this is as good as the title and imagery suggests? More cool pics here along with a little character information.

by Hanka Tomáškova'
Editor's Note: As you know, we recently had the joy of having Hanka visit us from the KSOP church in the Czech Republic that we partner with for missions every year. While she was here, she gave her testimony to the church. I asked her if she would be willing to write it out for us as well, so that we could post it on the Beacon. She agreed, and what you find below are her own words, completely unaltered. I hope you will be as encouraged by them as I was.
My name is Hanka, I am from the Czech Republic and I am really happy I can be here, standing in front of you, sharing my testimony. Lighthouse people have been a very important part of my life and I am so happy I can tell my story here. I actually think I have imagined this several times before, since though it was only a few LBC people in 2001 who changed my view on God and Christianity, I have always wanted the whole church to hear it and see how God was using their church to reach me.
To help you understand a little more, I should start in the beginning. I was raised in a kind of Catholic family. My grandma is a strong Catholic, but the rest of the family was basically trying to make her happy and attended the church because of her. When I was a child, I enjoyed going to church and probably even believed in God, but at certain age I realized that all I was doing was only because I saw other do it and because somebody told me to do it. I did not have a real reason for neither believing in God, nor going to church, which slowly became a problem when I was growing up. At school I heard about evolution as the only possibility, and my friends there sometimes laughed at me when they heard I was going to church. I had no reason "being a Christian" anymore and I wanted to quit with the church, but I was not allowed to. I gradually started hating the church and even hearing the word "God" and though eventually we stopped going to church, my grandma did not give up and tried to make us "return", which made me hate the "whole Christianity" even more. That was why my closest friends, Lucy and Lenka, knew they could not really talk to me or my sister about God, we not only did not listen, we hated it. They tried something else though.
Lighthouse started sending their teams for English Camps in Czech in 2000 and I remember that was a camp I was invited to. One afternoon Lucy and Lenka came over, brought an English Camp flyer and invited me and my sister for that camp. After they left, my sister and me looked at the flyer, then looked at each other and said: "No way" and we started laughing, since we did not understand how they could think we would come to a camp that is organized by a Christian church. We did not even think about it, we saw the word "Christian" and "Christian evening programs" and said "no" right away. So that was why I missed the first camp and why I do not know some of you. I was invited, but never accepted the offer. But God did something else to make me come next year.
The girls get back from the Camp really excited and I heard a lot about the team, saw some pictures and heard how much fun it was. But I was still pretty glad I did not come, since it was Christian, plus, the Americans looked more like Asians. ;-)
I do not remember exactly, but I think Lucy and Lenka tried to invite us again next summer, in 2001, and we probably said "no" again. But right before the summer I was invited to one English class in the church that was taught by Canadians, and I loved the class – it was English and it was fun. Lucy and Lenka told me that English Camp is even more fun and made me sign up for the camp, though it was actually pretty late and they said they had to make an exception. So I went to the Camp, only because of the Canadians and only because of English and fun, and I planned NOT to come to the evening programs (since they told me I did not have to). But there have been a lot that I have planned since then and God decided He would "ignore" my plans. Anyway, Lucy and Lenka asked me to go to the first evening program and decide after I see it if I want to come again. So I went there the first evening and then came back every night. The evening programs turned out to be very important for me. That was where I found out that I have a very distorted view of Christians and Christianity. When listening to the messages about evolution and other topics, I realized Christianity is not that illogical and irrational. When watching the team dancing and singing, I realized Christians can be really, really funny. And when talking to them, I saw they are not even that stupid.
I was shocked.
I thought all Christians are older people going to the Catholic church, believing in God only because it is what they were told and they do not know any better. I saw Christians as people who are not smart enough to make their own logical decision not to believe in something so irrational and stupid like "God". But the team showed me I have no idea what real Christianity is about. That was the most important thing that they could do at that time. I did not convert right away, I did not pray to accept Christ at the Camp. Honestly I do not even remember I heard the gospel…though I am pretty sure there were people trying to tell me. I actually did not care that much about Jesus then…for me the first step was to realize that people who believe in God, are not crazy and have good reasons for that, which was exactly what the team did.
Anyway, while at the camp, I started thinking about God and Christianity much more seriously and towards the end was pretty sure there is something worth more thinking. But already then I also saw what becoming a Christian would have meant and what would have changed. I knew I would get busier going to church, reading my Bible, praying. And I also knew my family would not understand and some of my friends might laugh at me. I did not really want any of those and decided I do not want to go to church again after the team leaves. But again, as the Proverbs 16:9 says: " The heart of man plans his way, but the Lord establishes his steps." The day the team was leaving I overslept and almost did not get to the train station on time, but I did, and when I was saying "Bye" to Jane Kim, she hugged me and made me promise I would come to church again. First I pretended not to hear her, but she did not let me go, so I did promise it…the next Sunday I went to church only to keep my promise but I never stopped coming out since then.
I still took my time, had a lot of questions, talked to Meinolf, Lucy and Lenka. I think Meinolf said that he thought I would not even make the decision, since I was thinking for too long, but eventually I did. I was reading a book and at the end there was the author's testimony and a prayer I could pray to accept Jesus. With all I already had in my head and with all I had seen and heard, I could not do anything but pray and accept God's forgiveness.
It has been already almost eight years since then and God has been working in my life as visibly as he was before I became His child. I started serving in my church and also helping out with the camps. First, I only helped with games or little stuff, but gradually I could help more and the more I knew about the preparations, the more encouraging it was for me to see people who really love God and want to serve Him, and to see God bringing together different people with almost the only thing in common – desire to serve Him. I really like your church, but in some ways you are really different, our cultures are different, but at the Camp every year I could see how it did not matter, because we share the same faith in the same God who we want to serve (Romans 12:4-5).
I love my church and there are not many reasons I would be willing to leave it for, it is my home and my family. Before I went to college, I was praying that God would let me stay in Ostrava and that no colleges in other cities will accept me, because I could not imagine I would leave my church. And then I came here and felt almost like home. It is not the same, but I do feel like I came to visit my family. It is amazing when I think about it – I did not know you in 2001 and I did not understand why everybody was trying to talk about Jesus. And when I got some emails from LBC people then, the parts talking about God or Bible were my least favorite ones…and now we have been working together to help people see God's love. God really is good and though I cannot always see it, His ways are much better than mine. "For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the Lord . For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts." (Isaiah 55:8-9)
The last thing I would like to use this opportunity for is saying "thank you" to the whole church. I know it is not only the team that works hard before the camps, and I know the team would not be able to go without support of the people at church, both financial and prayer one. God has been using the team and the whole church, and I am really glad I could tell you my story that is a proof of this.

Two weeks ago, this article came out in Goop on Postnatal Depletion. The day it came out, a bunch of people emailed and texted saying things like, "This sounds like your work, but someone elses perspective! Your miles ahead of Gwyneth." But, it was a response email from my friend at Every Mother Counts that woke me up!
When I finally had the time to read the article, it felt like I had a brother from another mother in this game of postpartum and postnatal health. The meaning behind our methods aligns.
We both agree that healthcare extending beyond prenatal care is an essential part of a mother's growth, healing, and regeneration after pregnancy, and birth; and during a time when all the focus moves from mother to baby.
This whole event really woke me up that I've shared WHY I do this work, but it made me realize that maybe it's not so clear as to what I do and how I can help you.
When I work with women one-on-one, it is very much like going in for a routine check up with your midwife (my formal education), doctor, or advanced nurse practitioner.
Here are just some of ways I help moms with my holistic healthcare approach:
- Assess what's going on with your overall health to develop an understanding of where you are and to best help you heal.
- Help you explore your purpose so that you stay connected to your individuality.
- Provide personal training and getting the postnatal body back in shape to help prevent back injury, uterine and bladder prolapse, and protects your core.
- Teach you about nutrition, nutrition, nutrition, to help you lose weight, feed yourself and your family good food, and clean out toxic foods from your diet.
- Encourage techniques for improving your relationship with stress so you can manage the overwhelm and chaos of early motherhood.
- Help you build exercise plans to help you get back in shape and lose weight.
- Help you with time management, because simple organization can make life feel easier and like you're winning!
- Develop relationship building tools so that you and your partner stay engaged and connected when you're exhausted and forging a new path as parents.
- Identify (not treat) postpartum depression to help you find the right therapist, doctor, or mental health practitioner.
- Build connection, because connection brings meaning to your life and is key to your health and the health of your community.
And, so much more...
Now, I want to know what else I can do for you with this survey. It will only take 5 minutes, it's 4 questions.
My work right now is to create programs and products - both online and off. I want to make these opportunities fun, meaningful, and experiences YOU want.
Take these 5 minutes and help me help you. I want to make things you LOVE!
Thank you so much for your input, honesty, and support. It's everything!
Have a solid week and some fun along the way.

Book Review: An Ember in the Ashes by Sabaa Tahir/
An Ember in the Ashes
by Sabaa Tahir
Goodreads | Amazon
Series: An Ember in the Ashes #1
Release date: April 28th 2015
Rating: Oh, my God, oh, my God, Oh, my God!
NB: It has been a few months since I read this.
An Ember in the Ashes by Sabaa Tahir was one of my favorite books of 2015. It tells the story of a Martial soldier Elias Veturius and a Scholar slave Laia who is trying to save her brother by spying in the military academy where Elias is about to graduate. It is told in alternating first person chapters from Laia and Elias' points of view. It sharts out with a bang with an attack on Laia's home and basically never lets the tention go. Even in the quiet moments of the story you never feel as if any of the characters are truly safe.
I despise love triangles. To me they show disloyalty and a lack of ture emotional involvement. Why should I care if the MC clearly doesn't? An Ember in the Asheshas a love quadrilateral. There is an abundance of sexual tension. And you know what? I LOVED it? It was an examination of all they ways that we can fall in love. Instant attraction, a shared history, someone you have a ton in common with? It also explores the idea of choice. Everyone may be attracted to more than one person but acting on that attraction is a matter of specific choice that the characters make. Their feelings are not uncontrollable.
I love how she took elements that we are familiar with and managed to make them into something that felt fresh and new. The whole world was a take on Roman Empire (or was in my head) and definitely didn't shy away from grit and violence. This isn't a cute and cuddly book. In some ways it is like a horror film. There is a closed set that our heroine cannot leave (Blackcliff), monsters (the Commandant and Marcus), and some pretty gruesome violence.
"I don't need to believe in the supernatural, not when there's worse that roams the night."
I thought that it was interesting that both Elias and Laia have pasts that are mysterious to themselves. As the book goes on they find out more and more about who they are from other characters. It isn't wholly comfortable. Like anyone they have an idea of who they are and the more information they are given the more they question their own vision of their selves.
"There are two kinds of guilt: the kind that drowns you until you're useless, and the kind that fires your soul to purpose."
Guilt is also a theme that is explored. Elis' journey make me think of a documentary that I saw once about a man who worked with death row inmates and how he would say to them that they are more than the worst thing that they had ever done. Elias has difficulty separating who he is from what he has done. There might not seem to be another choice but he holds onto responsibility as if it is something precious. Laia, on the other hand, only has one moment that she has guilt about but she agonizes over it.
The writing hit just the right note for me vacillating between extreme introspection at time and furious action. This was a fast pace and enjoyable book and I am looking forward to the sequel. (Read my review of A Torch Against the night here) And by "looking forward to" I mean that I am going to obsess about it until I get it. Because I must know what comes next.

Lucidream eXo Is A Stainless Steel Exo-Skeleton iPhone 6 Case/
We've seen our fair share of iPhone cases over the years, but there's one more irregular case that has caught our eye. And that case is the eXo by a company called Lucidream. This strikingly unique exo-skeleton case is fashioned out stainless steel that has been hand polished and comprised of three individual parts that interlock to protect the iPhone 6 from impacts and scratches – all while covering as little of the iPhone's svelte design as possible without degrading reception. Sounds familiar? While not an exact replica of Mod-3's aluminum-made Radius exo-skeleton case, the eXo case does share a stark resemblance to the Radius at its core, but is also a much more beefier and versatile variant that gets its industrial look and design from mechanical watch movements in that it features a clever non-screw or tool installation design with an integrated spring-damped impact absorption system.
The eXo can also be customized with various add-ons, such as a leather wallet, that attach to an X-shaped centralized mounting point at the back of its twist-to-lock quick connect system. This means that the eXo case comes with its own unique eco-system of accessories that will work with the case itself like handlebar mounts, in-car dash mounts and belt clips enabling you to mount your device onto virtually anything using different types of eXo-compatible accessories.
Much like the Radius, the eXo provides a four corner protective layer using an X-shaped design that also protects the back side of the iPhone and lifts the front screen from coming in contact with a flat surface when the iPhone is faced down thanks to a minimal 1mm lip at each corner. Lucidream claims that the eXo's integrated spring system along with the strength of its stainless steel construction will help absorb and dampen shock from drops and impacts. The eXo case also leaves parts of the iPhone exposed as a result, allowing users to feel more of their device and experience the rounded glass edges when swiping across the touchscreen. The case also leaves all buttons, ports and speaker, camera and LED flash fully accessible to the user.
eXo holds onto the iPhone securely. it leaves your iPhone's buttons, speakers and ports accessible and does not block the camera and flash. To operate the quick release system, simply open the release pad. You can attach your phone to a variety of accessories by inserting your accessory's clover into the center of eXo. Lock the release pad to secure the accessory to your eXo and iPhone.
eXo consists of 3 self-assembling parts: base arm, opposing arm, and the release pad. First, the release pad snaps on top of the base arm. Then, extending the release pad allows you to line up and insert the opposing arm. Finally, the release pad is realigned in the lock position, to complete the eXo assembly. To install an iPhone, simply open the four opposing arms and seat the iPhone in the center of eXo, then gently close the arms. The corner's profile holds the bezel of your phone precisely and securely.
Lucidream's eXo case for the iPhone 6 is currently available for pre-order on Kickstarter in Stainless Steel, Nitrite Black and Titanium Champagne colors starting at $85. Lucidream plans to release eXo cases for the iPhone 6 Plus, iPhone 5, iPad mini and iPad Air, but none of those are available to be pre-ordered.

If you are one of those travelers who prefer to be left alone during the mandatory waiting time before boarding your plane I may owe you an apology. You see, I am one of those annoying people who talks to strangers in airports. If you find yourself in a seat across from me in the boarding area or strapped into the seat beside me on the plane I am probably going to start up a conversation with you.
I promise I won't interrupt you if you are engrossed with your Kindle or plugged into your Mac or your iPad. But if you are simply sitting alone and staring into space, in my mind, you are fair game. That is especially true if we are sitting side by side on the plane. For me, there is nothing more awkward than wrestling for the armrest with someone I have barely acknowledged beyond a half-smile in response to their muffled, "Excuse me," as they shuffle by to the window seat. (My long-legged husband always sits on the aisle so I am forever destined to sit in the middle.)
Recently we were traveling internationally which requires you to be in the airport at least two hours before take-off. Surprisingly we got through security very quickly so when we reached our gate there was still a very long wait ahead of us. A stylishly dressed young man walked into the boarding area where we were seated and took the open chair across from us. He carried two bags, but no electronics. I waited a minute or two before striking up a conversation.
You can learn a lot about people in an airport if you are a friendly listener. The anonymity of the experience seems to give people license to talk. The chances of ever seeing each other again are slim so why not socially engage for an hour? I quickly learned that Joe was a twenty-nine year old automotive designer, originally from Maine who now lived in North Carolina. He had met his brother and parents for a weeklong vacation and was headed home to his dog and an important presentation at work.
I told him about my life, too and little by little we got to know each other as well as two people can within an hour and a half time span in an airport terminal. You might wonder why I am even writing about this young man who occupied my attention for such a short time.The real reason is this:
I feel as if I missed an opportunity to introduce him to Jesus.
I casually told him about my walk with the Lord as if it were just another detail in my life instead of it being the most important, defining element that it is. He told me that he had been raised Catholic, but no longer attended Mass because there were too many rules. I told him that it wasn't really about rules, that it was all about love. But I didn't name the Name. I don't even know why. I just kept waiting for the right time and then the time was over and we were being called to board. And now I cannot quit thinking about that missed opportunity to share the Gospel.
My husband thinks I am being too critical of myself. He reminds me that I showed Jesus' love through example. That I listened to a young man who needed to talk about some of the hard parts of his life. That I gave him encouragement. Somehow that still doesn't seem like enough.
So I just keep praying for him. I pray that God will call to his heart and open his eyes. I pray that someday soon another person will enter his life and tell him specifically about Jesus. And I pray that the next time I find myself next to someone who doesn't know the living Savior that I will not get lost in generalities and miss another opportunity to name the precious Name of Jesus Christ.
Great is the Lord in Zion; he is exalted over all the nations. Let them praise your great and awesome name—he is holy. Psalm 99:2-3

"I enjoy doing colourful drawings, of people, animals, birds and especially the landscape. I used to enjoy hunting on the land, so that's what I draw. I've done a few drawings of shamans, although I've never seen one. They are stories, true stories, told by my grandmother."
Ohotaq was born in 1936 and lives in Cape Dorset with his wife Qaunak, who is a carver and traditional throat-singer.
Ohotaq began drawing in the early years of the print program in Cape Dorset, and his print, Eskimo Fox Trapper, was released in 1961. He became less involved with drawing as the community grew, working full-time instead for various community agencies. Since his retirement from his job as caretaker of the Peter Pitseolak School in Cape Dorset, Ohotaq resumed his interest in drawing. We were pleased to include three of his prints in the 40th anniversary collection released in 1999. Since then he has become a fixture at the table in the Kinngait Studios, working on drawings covering a wide range of themes and subjects, including an illustrated life history.
Ohotaq had his first solo exhibition of prints and drawings in 2010, and in 2012 a number of his large-scale drawings were exhibited in a highly acclaimed show alongside venerable Canadian artist Jack Bush at the Justina M. Barnicke Gallery at the University of Toronto.

For those of us who are old enough to remember attending exhibitions back in the 80s & 90s, I'd like to take a stance against the modern exhibition world which seems to have somehow lost its way in terms of presenting its offering to the media.
This is not just a trip down memory lane, with a nostalgic yearning for bygone days, but rather a call for exhibition organisers to recognise the value that the media brings to an exhibition and to offer facilities which acknowledge this.
The Press Office was always an integral part of an exhibition but in recent times it seems to have become something of an afterthought, if indeed it is considered at all. A good Press Office was (and still could be) the place that a journalist could go to get all the latest from the exhibitors and, importantly, useful information about the event itself and the industry which it represents. All too often, even with big international events, the journalist is now regularly greeted by somebody with no knowledge or experience of the industry simply sitting at a desk and offering a data stick with information from those exhibitors who have bothered to contribute simply loaded onto it. Or, even worse, by no Press Office at all.
Media support of an exhibition, both pre and post-show, is invaluable in generating interest, both from an exhibitor and from a visitor point of view. By all means embrace the latest technology in kitting out the facilities but at least make sure you have the facility there in the first place. So, come on organisers, recognise the business argument for a dedicated Press Office, staffed by people who have an understanding of the industry you are looking to represent. How often does an industry get the opportunity to get the media all together, in one place, with a collective thirst for the latest innovations and industry trends? Make sure we can all make the most of it.

Teen refugees from Africa play a role in Winter Classicby Corey Masisak
ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- There were about 250 people in the stands at Michigan Stadium on Thursday and Friday, all of whom were charged with placing more than 100,000 seat cushions on the bleachers for the Bridgestone 2014 NHL Winter Classic.
Among this collection of workers were 16 kids wearing neon green touques, which made them easy to spot from anywhere in the stadium. These teenagers live in Lansing, Mich., an hour drive from the Big House, but they have come much farther than that.
All of the kids in this group are refugees from Africa. They came to Lansing from a variety of countries, and once they made that long journey, they all met Pete Lemmer, a lawyer who volunteers as a youth sports coach.
"These kids are from all over Africa," Lemmer told NHL.com. "Burundi, Tanzania, Zimbabwe, Kenya, Somalia are all represented in these 16 kids. We got them all green hats so we could keep track of them and find them.
"My brother-in-law saw an ad in the paper for some part-time laborers. We've been coaching these kids, who are refugees in the Lansing area, for the last three years through St. Vincent Catholic Charities. Now they are growing up and it is like, 'OK, what are they going to do? They're not going to play basketball all their lives, so they need to learn to work.' We thought, 'Let's see if we could hook them up with this part-time gig.' It's worked out pretty well for us."
Jim Solomon, who has coached some of the kids and was helping Lemmer supervise them, added, "Some of them escaped genocide. They've moved from refugee camp to refugee camp for like six of seven years with their parents. There are so many amazing stories. Some of them speak five languages. Most of them speak three or four fluently. They speak Swahili, English, Congolese. French is mostly their main language. ... They're just amazing kids. They're so appreciative of everything."
Lemmer has coached the kids in basketball and track. His work has not gone unnoticed: He was named one of three recipients nationally of the 2013 Phelps-Martin Award for Community Service by the Farm Credit Council during the organization's annual meeting in San Diego.
Three of his pupils now play for the basketball team at Eastern High School in Lansing. One is going to start playing football, and Lemmer boasted that he is the strongest kid in the school with the ability to bench press 350 pounds and squat lift 450.
Nearly all of them play for Eastern's soccer team. None of them knew what a hockey rink looked like before Thursday.
"These kids were learning about the [Michigan-Michigan State] rivalry and what normally happens in this stadium, and now they see this and how could they ever imagine something like this? They're seeing this for the first time," Lemmer said. "Yesterday we were here and they were like, 'what is this? They're going to play what here?' and now today they are saying, 'I want to watch this game. I'd like to see this.' They can't even imagine this, but now they're saying, 'I think this is just like soccer. We could do this.' "
By the end of the day Friday, the entire stadium had become a sea of baby blue, with cushions on every seat. It certainly gave the stadium, which has a giant, iconic maize-colored "M" painted into the bleachers on one side a different look.
"It is something we've done since the first game in Buffalo," NHL Senior Vice President of Events Don Renzulli said. "I don't even know how many I ended up ordering, 110,000 or something like that. Everybody who comes in will have a seat cushion, whether you're in a suite, the press box or in the bowl.
"This is not the normal way to put a seat cushion in, because it is a bench. On a normal seat, you wrap them around the bottom and the seat number is on top. The numbers are on the benches, so if you cover them, no one knows where their seat it. You have to strap them on the bench so everyone can see, 'OK, here's seat No. 15' but it also gives you a pretty good visual when you're down there and can see them all."
Lemmer's kids were diligently working in the southwest corner of the stadium Friday. He praised them for their work ethic and their diligence.
This was easy compared to what some of them have faced in their past, and it also might play a small part in helping them craft a better future.
"In the meantime, we got them all registered with a temp agency because they had to be [for this job]," Solomon said. "So now they are registered with this temp agency and this lady there met them and learned about their situation. She wants to help get them summer jobs and it will just balloon from there."
Lemmer added, "It all started with this part-time NHL gig. It is pretty cool. ... When they came to do this, I was worried about them but they said, 'Coach, don't worry about us. We know how to work hard. We used to work in the fields with no shoes and no gloves.' They're learning."

The mercury is pushing 90 this weekend with August-worthy humidity. Instead of sweating it out in the city, why not spend a day drifting down the Delaware River?
We know what you're thinking -- struggling to strap a kayak to the top of a double-parked Zip car while being honked at by angry cabbies takes all the leisure out of a leisure trip. Give me a Bloody Mary and a sidewalk cafe, you say.
But this weekend all you have to do is show up at Port Authority with a bottle of sunscreen and that pair of aqua socks you've been dying to wear again. Urban Escapes, a company that makes it easy for public transportation-dependant city dwellers to see a bit of wilderness from time to time, is hosting two trips this weekend that combine two of summers best things: water and booze.
On Sunday, paddle down the Delaware (the body of water that serves as a boundary between New Jersey and Pennsylvania) towards a vineyard in the Pocono Mountains, where a picnic lunch and private winetasting will be waiting.
If you think a tall, cold IPA is better than a glass of rosé to end the day (and you don't mind getting wet), they have a trip for you, too. Satuday, a day on an inner tube ends with a trip to a local brewery where you'll get a tour and yes, a glass of beer.
Both trips will get you back in the city just in time for sundown. Reserve your spot here.

Hey, gang. I'm here on a Tuesday because Andi has some awesomeness lined up for this coming Thursday. Stay tuned to see what it is.
It's time once again to remind you all of the opportunities out there for entering writing contests. Writing contests kill two birds with one stone: They are a great promotional tool that gets your name out there, and they bring in a little extra money or other useful compensation.
Entering a contest and making it as far as the short list opens up your fan base. If you're lucky enough to get on that list or (hooray!) win the contest, it's important to jump on the train and parlay it into exposure. I once placed in the top ten of a Writer's Digest annual writing contest (in the magazine article category) and it didn't do a thing for me. But that's because I didn't take advantage of it and utilize it to sell more articles.
As for the compensation, sometimes it's money, sometimes it isn't. If it is money, it's often a small nominal prize, but in my opinion, every little bit counts.
If it's not money, it's usually something else that writers can use: resource books, writing implements, a selection of titles from the sponsor's line, a residency at a writer's retreat, etc. Most, if not all contests, result in publication of your piece. The real biggies can get you to a writer's conference, fees and hotel included.
Of course, the trick to getting these awards is to win the contest, but keep in mind that runner-up prizes can also mean money and/or publication and/or promotion.
Be aware, however, that many competitions charge an entry fee. Most of the time, it is legitimate, but be choosy about what contests you enter. Check on the source of the contest, who the sponsors are, whether they have a track record, and if they are connected to a literary agency or a vanity press.
Be very careful about so-called contests that are actually scams perpetrated by vanity presses. These companies put out a call for submissions for a contest, tell you that you've won, but in order to get the piece published, you have to buy the anthology that it will appear in. Unscrupulous literary agencies will run contests where the "prize" is representation. Click here for some more tips on entering contests from Science Fiction & Fantasy Writers of America.
And here are links to a few sites that have writing contest roundups. Good luck!

The CCW Working Group on Armed Conflict will meet from 9am to 11am on Friday 27 May in the Allen & Overy Room, Pembroke College. Please see below for details of the papers that will be discussed.
If you are interested in attending and are not already on the Working Group's mailing list, please contact firstname.lastname@example.com for more information.
Sara Usher: "Is it Recurrence or Persistence?: The Fallacy of Intrastate Conflict Coding Practices"
Sara's topic is on the consequences of different coding practices to academia, policy and practice in regards to intrastate conflict. Preliminary findings from the UCDP Conflict Data Programme will be presented.
Catharina Lewerenz:"Pro-Government Militias as a strategy to Violent and Non-Violent Campaigns?"
Do incumbents recur to pro-government militias when dealing with violent oppositions? And, do pro-government militias play a role when the opposition uses non-violent strategies? From 1981 to 2007, 736 violent and 239 non-violent campaign months took place in 64 countries aiming for regime change, anti-occupation, or secession. These mass mobilisations pose a threat to incumbent regimes pressuring them to take action for their own survival. Interestingly, while pro-government militias are active in two-third of the violent campaigns, they were also actively engaged in political violence during half of the non-violent campaigns. This is the first paper seeking to explain this pattern by examining the causal relationship between violent/non-violent campaigns and the activity of pro-government militias. I argue that governments are more likely to treat militias as strategic means to use repression in response to mass mobilisation when a) the campaign takes place outside the centre, b) if the campaign is able to create parallel administrative, social, political and economic structures, and c) if the state faces otherwise domestic and international repercussions. I test this argument using the Pro-government militia database (1981-2007) and the Navco 2.0 dataset.

Where is FedEx's $200 Million Global Investment Headed?/
FedEx has reach. We're talking massive reach on a global scale. And the company has a long history of supporting organizations in areas of the world in which it operates, which is pretty much everywhere, but you would hardly know. We just don't hear much about FedEx's charitable giving. Which is a shame, because we really like highlighting the good work major multinational corporations like FedEx are doing.
Lord knows we've written a ton about the philanthropy of FedEx's arch rival, UPS, which has carved out a super-smart and valuable niche for itself as a unique funder that uses its vast logistical network to respond to global humanitarian disasters. (UPS wealth also underwrote creation of the Annie E. Casey Foundation, by the way.)
Related: UPS Is Everywhere, and So Is Its Foundation
Well, here's some big news about FedEx we can pass along: The company made a recent announcement that it would invest $200 million in over 200 global communities by the year 2020 through a new program called FedEx Cares. Upon the announcement, Patrick Fitzgerald, senior vice president, FedEx Integrated Marketing Communications said, "This new strategy builds on that heritage and takes it to the next level by focusing on ways we can use our operational strength and business expertise to address social challenges."
By the numbers, FedEx will dedicate an average of $40 to $50 million annually to global causes that fall within its five main focus areas, including delivering resources to disaster areas, developing sustainable transportation solutions, increasing employment opportunities for young people and underserved populations, improving road safety, and encouraging entrepreneurship for women and minorities.
Although the announcement is recent, FedEx isn't wasting any time. FedEx is committing some $50 million to providing resources to disaster areas and regions of the world that need them the most. Details are a bit sparse regarding what's going where, but what we do know is that $50 million is immediately available for disaster preparedness and relief efforts.
FedEx isn't new to the disaster preparedness, relief and response field. It's been offering up financial and in-kind support in domestic and international disaster areas for years. And disasters of the natural variety aren't the only matters that pique FedEx's funding interests.
For instance, the Memphis-headquartered company recently partnered with a Memphis water utility to donate some 12,000 bottles of water to the residents of Flint, Michigan. The Flint water crisis is clearly a manmade disaster as city officials switched from Detroit's water system to drawing water from the Flint River.
Speaking of water, it just may be a focal point of funding in the coming years for FedEx Cares. Patrick Fitzgerald touched on the topic upon the announcement, saying, "One thing that I have learned as we've gone through various natural disasters is the importance of water and our ability to get water in. Whether it be from an earthquake, hurricane or other type of disaster, water is desperately needed."
This is just speculation, of course. But stay tuned. Big things are coming from FedEx, sooner rather than later.

Knowledge Management Ain't Actually Going AnywherePosted by rickladd Oct 11, 2010
Below is a blog post I wrote yesterday and published here . I thought I would share it in this community for those of you who wouldn't see it otherwise.
As a result of two tweets I just read; one from @SameerPatel and the other from @ralphmercer, I wanted to get a thought down before it recedes forever into the darkest corners of my brain, where I know I will feel the remnants of its presence, but will also never be able to fully recall it.
Based on something Sameer said I went to Google Trends and searched on the terms "Knowledge Management" and "Social Media". In the past almost two years, with the exception of a large drop at the end of 2009, and a slight dip at what looks like the end of June in 2010, Social Media searches have been steadily increasing. During that same time period, searches for Knowledge Management - which are now less than a fifth of the searches for Social Media have remained arguably steady, with perhaps a bit of a continuous waning.
I suppose some would suggest this portends the eventual death of KM, but I really don't think that true . . . or even possible. KM has always been based on the belief that we humans are unique in our ability to pass knowledge on to others, as well as to collectively create new knowledge and retain it for future use.
As I had suggested to Ralph, and what he was kind enough to point out in his tweet, is the reality that it's "very expensive to reacquire knowledge". This isn't something anybody wants to do, anymore than they want to produce re-work or scrap. Yet people seem to be mulling over the viability of KM for the future.
I think the reality is two-fold. First, the need for sharing and re-using knowledge or information continues as strong as it's ever been. What it's called is of little consequence and, if KM has gotten a bad rep, then let's move on and call it something else.
Second, I believe a lot of what we mean when we refer to social media is actually the next iteration of KM, insofar as it enhances collaboration, sharing, finding out what others are doing, etc., as well as captures and makes available collective knowledge and wisdom.
So, what do you think? Has KM run its course, or is it just taking on a new "identity" in the form of social media and (something I don't think I mentioned above) Enterprise 2.0?

At the Hideaway, we have both mule deer and whitetail deer. For over 15 years, we have asked hunters only to harvest bucks that have at least three points on one side. The end of the season provides the best opportunity at one of the mountain deer kings.
Each winter, we survey the deer herds that winter in the ranch portion of the district. Over the past several years, whitetail populations reflect a buck to doe ratio of over 40 bucks to 100 does. With this high buck to doe ratio, hunters have good opportunities at older bucks.
For almost the past ten years, we have averaged harvesting ten whitetail bucks a season that will score over 125 gross points by Boone and Crockett scoring methods. The largest of those bucks scored just over 200 gross points with the next largest scoring 182.

Warm Tonight (new song!)
well, it's another song of the week! I would like to mention that this video was especially difficult to do....because it was freezing cold! but the snow looked awesome! Chris Baker, Rein Garcia and I drove out to Cloudcroft, NM to film at the Mexican Canyon Trestle which you can see in the background. Built in the late 1890's it was use to transport lumber through the mountains. Learn more about the Trestle and the surrounding area by clicking here:http://on-walkabout.com/2011/05/11/on-walkabout-on-new-mexicos-highway-82/

The Story of Manuela and Lars
Manuela and Lars were married on a beautiful fall day in October at Mill One in Holyoke, bringing non-traditional food ideas to the table. We knew right away that they were looking for something with a twist, something fun and unique. To accomplish this Chef Daigneau brought to life a menu like no other that boasted such dishes as Elk Osso Bucco with Cheddar Cheese Green Onion Grits and Red Wine Pan Jus as well as Lobster Butter Glazed Grilled Jumbo Shrimp with Pumpkin Puree Mascarpone Risotto, Arugula Salad and Pomegranate Seeds.
For dessert, Manuela asked if we could create an ice cream station. To keep with his theme, Chef brought her idea to a higher level making the ice cream right in front of the guests! With delicious honey-lavender and chocolate ice cream flavors, guests had fun topping their treats with a wide variety of fixings!
To end the night, the Happy Couple and their guests were given a "Happy Couple meal". A mini version of the all American classic treat, each box contained a gourmet beef slider and hand cut fries for guests to take home or snack on in the car!


text: Normally I wouldn't "overload" a post with 4 vids, all of them, basically, about Heineken. But truly, they have blown me away with the Off The Griddy type of formula they decided to use to brand their image this time. Unlike other huge beer companies, they decided to take a trip down to foreign countries. In order to test the true value of it's beer, Heineken sends Justin Bratton to Inner Mongolia where he has to make his way to Bangkok with just Heineken as his currency and bargaining chip. A 5187km journey awaits him as he begins the adventure from Shangdu, Inner Mongolia. The campaign consists of 4 webisodes documenting his journey and a Facebook application named The Heineken Passport. The app gets you to share the journey to win points, giving you the chance to win a journey to Sensation Taiwan for you and 3 friends.

Yes, you read correctly, chocolate mousse that's healthy, guilt free and good for you! Of course, it's not your conventional chocolate, cream and sugar filled dessert, but it's smooth, rich and addictive and will certainly curb your chocolate craving. It's gluten free, dairy free and paleo and can easily be made vegan so everyone can have fun eating it and no one has to miss out!
If you have them on hand, this mousse pairs perfectly with macerated strawberries, a handful of blueberries or extra sliced banana. You can also play around with what you put in your mousse. The bananas could be substituted for dates, you can change the honey for another natural sweetener like agave or rice malt syrup to make it vegan. You could even try adding a small pinch of ground chilli for a surprise kick! It is super just how it is though.
This literally takes five minutes to throw together and requires very little time to set so you can make yourself a delicious after dinner treat in no time at all!
Serves 4
1 large avocado, stone and skin removed
2 medium bananas, cut into chunks
3-4 tablespoons honey (agave or rice malt syrup if you are vegan)
4 tablespoons cocoa or cacao powder
3 tablespoons coconut oil
A pinch of salt
Place all ingredients in a food processor and blend for a few minutes, until it all comes together.
Spoon the mixture into four small ramekins. Refrigerate for an hour or until ready to serve. Top with fresh berries and banana and enjoy!

John Wayne memorabilia on auction block
The family of Hollywood legend John Wayne is putting hundreds of his personal possessions up for grabs on Oct. 6. Online bidding is already under way.
Everything - including his cowboy hats, costumes and awards -- will be on the auction block.
Among the items - his "True Grit" outfit, including the famous eye patch, and even his last driver's license and American Express card.
Heritage Auctions President Greg Rohan gave "Early Show on Saturday Morning" co-anchor Russ Mitchell a sneak peak at some of the most sought-after pieces.
He told Mitchell the family decided to sell the memorabilia now - "The Duke" died in 1979, because, "The museums have core collections. All the family members have got things that are sentimental to them. Fans have been asking them to release things for 32 years. They've been stored away. And they wanted to release them to the fans rather than keep them locked away in a warehouse."
The items, says Rohan were in a storage facility in Newport Beach, Calif. All this time. "When I first walked into the facility," he told CBS News, "it was like being in a time capsule. All of his trophies were on the wall, costumes hanging on racks. It was mind-blowing."
Everything is, he says, in good shape. "As soon as Wayne died," Rohan says, "they locked down his house and put everything in storage. It's amazing how well it was taken care of."
Wayne, he says, kept all his possessions. "He believed in reusing them, too," Rohan added. "Many of the costumes were made at his direction. He'd wear many of the same hats and costumes in different movies."
How did he come up with the prices of these items?
"It's hard to say what some of these items are worth," Rohan replied. "We low-balled most of it and will let the market place decide."
Usually, he says, Hollywood memorabilia only attracts collectors. "This time, though, it's almost all genres -- art collectors, historians, Hollywood memorabilia collectors and people who were just huge fans of Wayne."
The collection's crown jewel, Rohan says, is the eye-patch from "True Grit," for which Wayne won his only Oscar. Online bidding has already exceeded the $4,000 - $6,000 asking price, Rohan points out.
For a complete list of the items, along with descriptions, .

A Parent's Guide to Making Friends at Work Without Staying Late (as published in The Muse)
You've always appreciated the social aspect of your job. After a long day at the office, you're game for grabbing dinner or drinks with colleagues at the end of a long day. You're often quick to organize a happy hour to celebrate someone's promotion, a big team win, or making it through hump day.
But that was before you became a parent and your out-of-office responsibilities (and your priorities) changed significantly. Weekly post-work drinks turned into fun family dinners. And book club at the cafe around the corner turned into snuggly bedtime board books. You love your new activities but you miss engaging in the social events that your non-parent colleagues are all about. You don't want to be all work and no fun or abandon the relationships you've formed just because your priorities have shifted.
It's not an all or nothing situation. Here's why.

Christopher Burnett | Staff Writer
For those looking for gifts with a local connection, the Frontier Army Museum Gift Shop has specials during the holidays and stocks many items created by local craftsmen, artists and military spouses.
The FAM Gift Shop is a not-for-profit community business operating by the Fort Leavenworth Historical Society that sells unique souvenirs, books covering a wide range of historical topics and a variety of gift items related to Kansas, Fort Leavenworth and the Command and General Staff College. Located within the Frontier Army Museum at 100 Reynolds Ave., the shop is open 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., Tuesday through Saturday. The shop telephone number is (913) 651-7440.
"Among the aspects that I enjoy about working at this shop is the wide variety of people I meet every day. We typically have tourists who come to shop, who are from around the country and from all over the world," said Manager Michele Millar. "So many people initially want to come to Fort Leavenworth to simply visit and see the Buffalo Soldier Monument and park. Most of them are then further amazed at the overall wealth of history on this post."
Millar, who has worked at the shop for five years said, although it is within the Frontier Army Museum, the business is part of the Fort Leavenworth Historical Society and 25 percent of the shop's net proceeds benefit the museum. The museum uses the contribution toward purchasing additional items for its collection.
"The Fort Leavenworth Historical Society's mission is to support the historic preservation of the post. And, since 1955, the organization has supported the history of the post, and the Leavenworth area," Millar said. "The historical society also presents monthly programs on a diverse range of topics given by a variety of speakers."
The shop has a variety of products discounted for the holidays. Millar and sales associate Rana Savage encourage visiting the shop in person or online at its new Facebook page, "Fort Leavenworth Museum Gift Shop," to see photographs of the latest Christmas specials.
"Looking for a unique gift for your history buff? Our Buffalo Soldier bronze statue is now 20 percent off as part of our Christmas special pricing," Millar said. "And, this Fort Leavenworth-themed throw is proving to be very popular this year. We had a customer come in recently and purchase five of them as gifts."
Fort Leavenworth Historical Society has been involved in the research and commemoration of areas of historical interest on post. The organization is involved with repair and cleaning of historical markers and monuments, and providing tour guides for groups.
"A major focus of the historical society is the operation of the gift shop. The historical society also works closely with the Frontier Army Museum in its efforts to actively evaluate and preserve the historical legacy," Savage said. "This is a unique relationship, since Fort Leavenworth is the oldest active military post west of the Mississippi river."
Page 2 of 2 - Fort Leavenworth Historical Society members receive a 10 percent discount on purchases in the gift shop. To become a member, contact any board member, join in person at the gift shop, or mail in the membership form. Fort Leavenworth Historical Society family memberships are $10 per year and lifetime memberships are $50. Contact Gary Linhart at 684-2124 for more information about the historical society.
