The FiveThirtyEight website had a nice birthday tribute to Wayne Gretzky's incredible stats.
I didn't know much about Gretzky aside from his oft-quoted quotes. And, I found it very interesting that Gretzky's size and strength were described as unimpressive by NHL standards. In fact, he was described as "too small, too slow and too wiry" when he started out. He was, however, blessed with athleticism and had worked hard to build up great reservoirs of stamina. But, even that, by NHL standards, didn't make Gretzky exceptional. These skills were a dime-a-dozen.
Gretzky's specialty was anticipation. As his Wikipedia page reads –
Despite his unimpressive stature, strength and speed, Gretzky's intelligence and reading of the game were unrivaled. He was adept at dodging checks from opposing players, and he could consistently anticipate where the puck was going to be and execute the right move at the right time.
Accounts of Gretzky seem to focus on this ability to anticipate what was going to happen. Gretzky's take is telling (Wally is his father)-
Some say I have a 'sixth sense' … Baloney. I've just learned to guess what's going to happen next. It's anticipation. It's not God-given, it's Wally-given. He used to stand on the blue line and say to me, 'Watch, this is how everybody else does it.' Then he'd shoot a puck along the boards and into the corner and then go chasing after it. Then he'd come back and say, 'Now, this is how the smart player does it.' He'd shoot it into the corner again, only this time he cut across to the other side and picked it up over there. Who says anticipation can't be taught?
Wally's drills focused entirely on building anticipation. As described in his autobiography –
Him: "Where's the last place a guy looks before he passes it?"
Me: "The guy he's passing to."
Him: "Which means…"
Me: "Get over there and intercept it."
Him: "Where do you skate?"
Me: "To where the puck is going, not where it's been."
Him: "If you get cut off, what are you gonna do?"
Me: "Peel."
Him: "Which way?"
Me: "Away from the guy, not towards him."
Not only were Wally's drills ahead of their time, Gretzky also benefited from a head-start. In his own words –
See, kids usually don't start playing hockey until they're six or seven. Ice isn't grass. It's a whole new surface and everybody starts from ground zero. … By the time I was ten, I had eight years on skates instead of four, and a few seasons' worth of ice time against ten-year-olds. So I had a long head start on everyone else.
Fascinating. Anticipation transformed a played with below average NHL attributes to someone widely considered to be the greatest hockey player of all time. And, best of all, this ability to see ahead was trained – from the age of 2. Seeing ahead is a skill.

Houze ordered a polygraph test conducted by former Miami Police Detective Sgt. Warren Holmes days after Cuban spoke with McGuire, and the results supported Cuban's denial.
"I have concluded no crime can be proven beyond a reasonable doubt", Rees wrote in the July 27, 2011, memo.
She reportedly told police two weeks later, including in her complaint seven photographs taken of her and Cuban.
The woman posed for a picture with Cuban on the advice of a friend who went to the bar with her.
'Cuban then pushed his hand down the back of her jeans and inside her underwear where he cupped his hand over her groin area and inserted the tip of his finger into her vagina'.
Cuban has been linked to a sexual assault allegation from 2011, according to a Fox News, citing a police report obtained by the Willamette Week.
SFIO summons banking leaders
In case of default, the bank issuing the LoU has to pay the liability to the credit giving bank along with accruing interest. He didn't unveil some other insights about Chitalia's affirmed part in the PNB misrepresentation.
"This incident never happened and her accusations are false". The complainant has also consistently and repeatedly stated to police investigators she does not want to pursue this matter further.
The report Tuesday in the Willamette Week came about a week and half after a Sports Illustrated account that portrayed a hostile work environment for women in the front office of the Mavericks. "I stand behind that report 1,000 percent".
"It didn't happen." Cuban told The AP on Tuesday via email. "These allegations are thoroughly investigated by the Multnomah County District's Attorney's Office and the Portland Police Bureau", Cuban's attorney Stephen Houze said. The news broke just two weeks after Sports Illustrated published a report claiming that Cuban's National Basketball Association team had fostered an hostile work environment, rife with misogyny and sexual harassment. None said they witnessed an assault. It's unclear if any action will be taken against Cuban by the network as a result of these recently resurfaced allegations. "In one of the pictures, his arm can be seen behind [the alleged victim] and it appears Cuban is reaching down toward her buttocks".
Prosecutors in OR opted not to pursue the case in which a woman said Cuban reached in her trousers while they were having their picture taken in a Portland nightclub. Brendan McGuire that Cuban was "very drunk" at the night club where the incident is alleged to have occurred.

Meet Lucy - Queensland Organiser
I grew up in Far North Queensland in between the Great Barrier Reef World Heritage Area and the Wet Tropics World Heritage Area, a childhood that taught me a keen passion for nature and people. I worked as an outdoor adventure guide for the first eight years of my professional life. Living and breathing the Australian bush and teaching kids about nature and how to connect with it. Although this work was hugely fulfilling and meaningful, I couldn't help but feel that it wasn't immediate enough.
I decided to go to university and study a Bachelor of Sustainability. During this time I became very active on campus and in the community. I found activism and the power of people. I rallied, held community forums, wrote submissions, door knocked, called and more! Soon my passion motivated me to move to Brisbane where I could learn and grow and be close to the big action.
After moving to Brisbane, I found myself lucky enough to be working as a community organiser for GetUp. The passion, community and comradery at GetUp are inspiring and outstanding! I am unbelievably excited by the Action Network, the power of a movement and the ability to create the kind of Australia we all envision.

Street Fighter II
I played a lot of video games as a kid. Like, a lot. If I wasn't out with my friends ollieing the steps and waxing the walls at the local shopping precinct, I was indoors playing video games. I remember every game I ever played, and I know my favourites. Few of them stand out like Street Fighter II. The actual game I had was Street Fighter II: Special Champion Edition on the Sega Mega Drive. I don't profess to be any kind of pro, I can button bash with the best of them. But it didn't really matter how I played because the game was so good that it made me want to play it again, again, and again. So I did.
Every time I load the game it fills me with the same sense of excitement as the first time I played it. As soon as the music kicks in I get that rush of nostalgia and everything seems right in the world. Who do I choose though? Do I go standard and pick Ryu? Who doesn't love those special move soundbites. Hadouken is probably one of the most iconic sounds in video game history. Or do I go for Blanka and just spam Electricity? Chun Li is lightning quick and difficult to defend against, but her moves aren't as impressive looking as some of the other characters. It was always a dilemma for me, so I'd usually end up playing through the game multiple times in one sitting, choosing a different character for each play through.
The Socks
These new Street Fighter II socks from Stance offer that same rush of nostalgia I get when I play the game these days. The socks look awesome, and here at Hardcloud we have three styles:
Cover Art
The first is the original Street Fighter II: World Warrior cover art featuring all of the characters. I love it. I love everything about it. The style, the subject, the colours. It looks awesome, so awesome. Show them off at every opportunity. Get them here.
Ryu vs Ken
The second is the classic Ryu vs Ken which is the default multiplayer matchup, with one character and their respective flag on each sock. This pair is less colourful than the cover art pair, but the colours complement each other so well that this pair of socks works well with practically any outfit and you can still show them off. Get them here.
Guile vs Blanka
The final pair we stock are the Guile vs Blanka socks. Blanka on one sock, and Guile being electrocuted on the other. It perfectly captures why everyone loved playing as Blanka and hated other people playing as Blanka. Guile is a great fighter in his own right, and even without the Electricity move, so is Blanka. But there's not much Guile can do against this move. Maybe that's how he gets his hair to stay up all the time. Get them here.
The Others
We love Stance socks anyway, but what we really love are all of the fantastic special lines they do. This Street Fighter range is just one of a long line special socks that Stance do. Check out a small snapshot of the other special Stance ranges that we stock:
Star Wars
Stance Legends Range

I dumped Supergirl because her boobs are hard as rocks.
They are literally harder than concrete cinder blocks.
I should've known they were hard because bullets bounce off of them.
Breasts that aren't soft should be a crime because it is so grim.
When I broke it off, she made my life a living hell.
She burned down my house and pissed in my well.
If you think that was bad, you won't believe the other things that she did.
She lied to social services, she said that I abuse my son and I lost my kid.
She put an end to my sex life when she used her laser beams to castrate me.
My manhood has been taken and no jail will hold the bitch so she's going free.
My life has fallen to pieces, I would give anything for some kryptonite.
I would also want Batman's armor suit so I could kill that bitch in a fight.
Don't even think about dating Supergirl, believe me when I say that it is no fun.
If you date her and break it off, you'd better have a kryptonite bullet in your gun.
The Consequences of Dumping Supergirl
I dumped Supergirl because her boobs are hard as rocks.

Love the new mower, my Vickie pulled up all our grass this winter and we laid turf. It is so much easier and we all celebrated when we took the lawn mower to someone else.
However, I really do miss the smell of new cut grass. Now I wish we had a lawn again but it was hard to keep it with all our dogs.
anyway, I'll quit rambling now.

Abstract :
Nickel thin films of various thicknesses deposited on lithium fluoride single crystals have been strained to study the effect of steps on the buckling phenomenon. In these experiments, the nanometer-scale steps result from the emergence process of dislocations coming from the substrate and piling-up at the film/substrate interface. The coated specimens were investigated by in situ atomic force microscopy. It is shown that the buckling phenomenon preferentially occurs just above the step structures in compression tests, while no buckling takes place in tension. From elastic energy consideration, it is concluded that the main effect of substrate plasticity is to strongly modify the critical stress for buckling, with no significant result on the adhesion properties.

Heard a story that Facebook is going to end on March 15th? You should take it with a pinch of salt.
A story is spreading like wildfire across Facebook this weekend, claiming that the world's most popular social network is closing on March 15th.
The reason? CEO Mark Zuckerberg claims that "managing [Facebook] has ruined my life. I need to put an end to all the madness."
There's only one problem with the story. It's not true. Facebook is not going to end on March 15th, and Mark Zuckerberg never said any such thing.
But that's not stopping many many Facebook users spreading the message.
Many of the messages include a link to an apparent news story, where users can read more about the surprising announcement of Facebook's death:
If you click on the link, here's where you are taken. A news story by a publication that also tells us that Mike Tyson is a pigeon fancier, Michelle Obama is pregnant and alien spaceships are to attack earth in 2011:

Hello.. I am the proud owner of one of these teeny, tiny bottles of this magical polish.
It was sitting in its stand, abandoned by its twins. Other people in the aisle had no idea what goodness they had passed by with blinkers on.
So of course I snaffled up the last one in the display.
Still after the perfect base to layer it upon.
Tried kmart black, NYC in a minute purple, and on its own (that was so sheer. Lucky it was on my mini pinky nail so I didn't waste it.)
I just googled swatches of it and many are putting Revlon's royal under it. I don't have that.
Any suggestions from my stash what I should layer it over ?

Longridge Town manager Lee Ashcroft was philosophical after watching his side draw 2-2 at Southport Hesketh on Saturday.
The reigning West Lancashire League Premier Division champions had led 2-0 at half-time thanks to goals from Danny Wilkinson and Stu Vasey.
It looked as if Ashcroft's players had done enough to secure victory in the second half, only for the referee to indicate an additional eight minutes of added time.
During that time, Steven Hoy and Jon O'Brien both found the net to bring the home side back on level terms and leave Longridge travelling home with one point rather than three.
The draw leaves them fourth in the table with 17 points from seven games.
They are eight points behind the leaders, Blackpool Wren Rovers, but with three games in hand.
"Who knows?" Ashcroft said after the match.
"By the end of the season we may well see this as a point gained, rather than two points dropped but it certainly doesn't feel like it at the moment.
"We were comfortable in the first half and played some good football but it was a different game in the second.
"We just never got going;they are a big strong side as usual and we are still a bit short in physicality compared to last season.
"Fair play to Southport though, the changes at half-time made a difference and they make this a difficult place to come to.
"They'll pick up lots of points here, but we are still unbeaten seven games in and that's obviously a big positive for us."
Town take a break from league action on Saturday when they visit Rochdale Scared Heart in the Lancashire Shield (2pm).

Merchant monitoring explainedTuesday, May 8th, 2012
Do you want to know about merchant monitoring? Well then here comes a short guide about it. If you really want to know about the network rules and what are the products that the merchants are trying to sell online and whether they are trying to break your service terms then you should check out this article carefully. In order to get a decent merchant portfolio you should apply for the merchant monitoring services of G2 merchant compliance. All your merchant accounts websites are in compliance with all the rules of the network. Human risk analysis and internet monitoring are both the services that are included in G2 merchant monitoring. In these services all the faults of the potential violation are being checked on a regular basis and more importantly these services abide by the rules of the BRAM also in which merchant protection is one of the essential issues.

Submissions - The Australian Risk Policy Institute (ARPI)
The Review of the Road Safety Remuneration System
The Commonwealth Government has called for submissions on the Review of the Road Safety Remuneration System.
Call for submissions: http://employment.gov.au/review-road-safety-remuneration-system
Due: 15 January 2014
ARPI considers that it would be desirable that policies to be pursued in meeting the objectives or a reduction in trucking related road accidents and the regularisation of driver terms and conditions should be consistent and mutually supportive. While the existing scheme attempts to deal with both objectives, within the existing constitutional structure, this would ordinarily be more appropriately addressed through cooperative State legislative. If the Commonwealth proposed to repeal the scheme, this might properly be deferred until States have an opportunity to legislate to deal with the issues noted below.
Simply put, we have a new scheme that's better than nothing. If it is to be repealed, for whatever reason, the vulnerabilities which exist because of systemic disregard for safety must be dealt with by the States.
ARPI encourages the Commonwealth and its agents to expressly consider risk policy in its final report.
There are a lot of road accidents involving trucks (about 25% of all road fatalities). Most of these occur on major highways. Some of these can be attributed to poor road conditions, others to driver fatigue or mechanical failure. At immediate risk of death or injury are truck drivers and other road users – and this risk is exacerbated by conditions of employment and usage that do not give appropriate regard to safety.
Employment/engagement arrangements in the trucking business are bifurcated. On one hand are drivers employed by trucking operations and who are subject to ordinary industrial arrangements overseen by Fair Work Australia. On the other hand are self-employed drivers, not employed by trucking operations but instead engaged on a job by job basis, and receiving remuneration according to the private contractual arrangements relevant to each job. Self-employed drivers do not necessarily own their own vehicles and some of these, for all intents and purposes, have the same work schedules and working routine as employees.
Within the industry, there has been concern about poor remuneration and conditions. There is cogent evidence that drivers in both groups are sometimes placed under exceptional pressure to deliver – often involving the driver being indirectly required to break road rules to meet required deadlines. While ARPI is aware of the commercial risks that flow from failure to meet contractual deadlines, the safety of drivers and other road users should trump such commercial considerations. With driver-owners, there has also been significant discontent with queuing systems, where these drivers may be subject to long periods of unpaid down-time. Finally, there have been some shocking recent examples of trucking companies operating their fleets in poor or dangerous conditions.
Trucking operations and their clients, and state and commonwealth governments have been remiss in not addressing the serious systemic risks that have emerged in this sector.
In 2013 the Commonwealth created the scheme now under review with a stand-alone Tribunal to deal with these issues. The legislation was made mid last year and the first order of the new Tribunal was made in December. The order requires written contracts for all haulage. Plans need to be developed for all 500km+ travels and there are new training requirements and documented policies (drug and alcohol).
The new scheme has been controversial. ARPI understands that during passage of the legislation, the then Liberal opposition opposed the legislation. Senator Abetz announced a review of the scheme on coming to office, noting concern that the scheme would not be effective in addressing safety issues within the transport industry. He also expressed concern about the duplication and burden involved in the new scheme. Worker representatives have arguing that dismantling the scheme will lead to a continuance of the existing rate of accidents. This position depends in part on research showing an association between pay and conditions and road accident rates, the reduction of driver fatigue. The Master Builders believes that the new scheme will adversely affect the costs of transport to and from building sites – and this may be indicative of the view held by the general retail sector. ARPI would agree with them if the additional cost is unproductive, but to the extent it represent the real cost of operating safely within the road rules, ARPI would disagree. The Independent Contractors Australia previously took wider exception to the scheme – arguing that it breached competition principles, could lead to price fixing, and result in increases in road transport costs. It argued that "This is a recipe for complete confusion, and a bureaucratic shambles with overlapping authorities trying to work out what's going on".
Objectives and Vulnerabilities
The stated objective of the scheme, and the initial actions of the Tribunal and stakeholders under the Scheme, have been to address systemic problems within trucking operations to minimise the involvement of trucks in motor vehicle accidents. An additional objective of the scheme, is the improvement of conditions of those involved in trucking operations. A link between both of these objectives is asserted by proponents of the scheme, but they remain quite separate objectives which are usually amenable to different legal and industrial policy approaches.
ARPI starts from the initial position that a broad consideration of vulnerability defines the level of risk rather than the fragmentary consideration of specific instances of risk. Accordingly, in considering this issue, ARPI has sought to understand the real risks and real consequences of accidents involving trucking operations, in the first instance at the level of those involved in such accidents (road users, including truck drivers) but equally looking at the upstream, downstream and knock-on effects of a failure to protect the vulnerabilities of all stakeholders in trucking operations (such as the impact of the policy on retailers or those responsible for funding road maintenance).
In this regard ARPI notes that the issues of road safety and the terms and conditions of employees (but not owner-drivers) are the present responsibility of a number of state and commonwealth schemes dealing work place safety, heavy vehicle regulation, road maintenance programs and industrial schemes. While the existing programs have relatively well defined areas of responsibility, the new scheme straddles all of these programs. This may lead to duplication and confusion about legal obligations.
In considering systemic risk, ARPI considers that it would be desirable that policies to be pursued in meeting these objectives should be consistent and mutually supportive.
ARPI notes that the two key objectives addressed by the scheme are significantly different. In this respect ARPI makes the following general observations:
1. The existing scheme attempts to deal with both objectives, at the same time. However, in doing so, the Commonwealth has strayed from its ordinary constitutional responsibilities, exposing the scheme to downstream challenge and to possible conflicts with directions of other state and commonwealth agencies. The Commonwealth has no direct power to deal with self-employed drivers or interstate road contracts (and relies, instead, on an indirect or implied conferral of power). The constitutional responsibility to act in this area is instead a core responsibilities of the States. Arguably the States have been remiss for not working together and dealing with the vulnerabilities in play as a result of trucking operations. In relation to one-off projects, the States have demonstrated that they are capable of acting in concert to deal with complex uniform legal reform (the uniform defamation legislation is an example of one such success). [ARPI notes that the authors of the Commonwealth Constitution foresaw the need for systemic cooperative action by State Governments across of wide range of policy areas such as this. The Constitution requires the establishment of an Interstate Commission to develop consistent legislative responses to issues of joint concern - the failure to establish an Interstate Commission as required under the Constitution is a key systemic failure of federation. ARPI notes that the failure to address this issue is another example of States not legislating cooperatively in the absence of a constitutional institution such as an Interstate Commission.]
2. At the centre of the new scheme is a standalone Commonwealth tribunal. Unlike State tribunals, Commonwealth tribunals are complex entities with limited self-enforcement capacity. The first order of this Tribunal is interesting. The requirement that all haulage contracts be reduced to writing addresses an important element of the accountability structure. The requirement for a plan for long distance haulage similarly seems straightforward. Both are important contributions to addressing the vulnerabilities noted above. However, neither of these orders needed a Tribunal – both are ordinarily found as statutory provisions within the domestic law. As noted above, this is within the clear legislative powers of the States acting in concert.
January 2014
Note that this submission reflects input from other ARPI members.

The Avengers strikes a balance between action and character development, according to Chris Evans.
The Captain America actor told The Huffington Post that director Joss Whedon has brought "substance" to the Marvel Studios film.
Evans said: "There's obviously action, you've got all these superheroes, there's gonna be a constant battle; I think every ten pages, there's going to be some sort of action. But you can have all the action in the world - if you don't have some substance, you got nothing.
"It's not easy trying to bring all those characters together and find a story, but the best thing about [Joss] is that Joss is a fan, Joss is a comic book guy. It feels so nice working with a guy that is, well, the people I am trying to please is Joss. Joss is one of those dudes."
Evans recently admitted that he had initial doubts about reprising his role as Steve Rogers for the team-up movie, but added that "it couldn't have gone better".
Avengers will see Evans star alongside Robert Downey Jr, Chris Hemsworth, Samuel L Jackson, Scarlett Johansson, Mark Ruffalo and Jeremy Renner. Tom Hiddleston will revisit his Thor role of Loki.
The Avengers opens in theatres on May 4, 2012.
Watch a teaser trailer for The Avengers, from the end of Captain America: The First Avenger, below:

After a gross underestimate was corrected, paving and crack sealing contracts were approved by the Property Owners' Association board of directors at its work session last week.
It was announced the original paving estimate of 13,202 tons of asphalt material was incorrect and should have been 20,048 tons. The contractor, Martin Marietta, Inc., re-bid the correct tonnage to pave all 30.23 miles at a cost of about $1.4 million, an increase of almost $250,000.
Because the new total figure was still under the $1.5 million budgeted for the 2013 paving program, a motion was made to accept the re-bid, but not without comment.
"This is even more embarrassing," said board director John Cooney of the mistake. He added the matter brings up the question of process management.
Cooney suggested the POA's chief financial officer be involved in the purchasing process, the integrity of the calculations, how the numbers fit into the budget and the impact on cash flow.
Interim general manager Linda Mayhood said the policy can be changed to do so. "We can include that," said Mayhood.
During the discussion of crack-sealing progress, it was noted that although the public works department's crack-sealing crew is doing a good job, there was no way it would be able to complete all the necessary sealing work on roads scheduled to be paved before the paving work begins.
An outside contractor should be hired, it was decided, so a motion was made and approved to hire Mitchell Asphalt Seal Coating to seal all roads identified in the 2013 list, except for Cortez Road, which the public works crew is working on.
The cost for the work was set at $132,248 and the work is to be completed prior to the paving program's start date.
The board also heard from Crist Engineers' Craig Johnson and Mark Robertson of Mesa Landscaping on their revised concepts for work at the Village's east and west gates.
Johnson said their task was to take another look at the east-gate entrance and trim the fat. In so doing, Crist shortened the walls, lessened the structural height of the original design and reduced the amount of sculpture, bringing the estimated cost to $400,000 to $425,000.
Director Frank Leeming said he'd like to have a town-hall meeting on the matter before making a final decision at the May 15 meeting. It was decided the town-hall meeting will be Thursday at 1 p.m. in the Ouachita Room at the Ponce de Leon Center.
As for the west gate, two proposals were put forth – one with a replica of the Fay Jones tower, and one without a tower, but with a water-spraying feature. The 1970 Jones sculpture was removed by the POA on Oct. 19, 2012.
Both proposals exceed the $300,000 level discussed by the board. Because renovation at the west gate is an unbudgeted item, director Cooney expressed his desire to do a reassessment of the cash requirements for 2013.
"I'm getting nervous we're not going to be at $1.5 million in operating cash reserves," said Cooney.
No final decisions were made on either gate project. The proposed design concepts can be viewed on the POA website www.hsvpoa.org.
During the questions/comments portion of the meeting, resident Bob Busse told the board it makes no sense to spend $400,000 on a west-gate project while at the same time nickel and diming the east-gate project. Busse said the Village will flip-flop in the next 10 years with more going on at the east side of the Village.
Resident Terry Oltrogge added that a "Marriott-like" look at the east gate gives a false impression of what the Village is, adding he did not see how the crystals in the design at the east gate fit in.
Oltrogge noted the Diamante entrance as an example of something nice and cautioned the board on over-spending.
He also said very few people moving to the Village make that decision on anything other than the amenities.
Other items addressed at the meeting included standing committee chair appointments, assigning board liaisons to the committees, and announcing a proclamation of safe boating week for the week of May 18-24.

How to Meal Prep: On the Farm With Barb Webb
A busy life isn't always lived in the hustle and bustle of the city. Barb Webb, the woman behind popular country living blog Rural Mom, is a testament to just how much anyone, no matter where they live or what they do, can benefit from the meal prepping capabilities made possible with a meal management bag! Barb was gracious enough to lend us some of her insights into life on the farm and how to meal prep, Rural-Mom style.
Eat seasonally.
When it comes to how to meal prep on the farm, Barb pointed to one major component immediately: eating seasonally. This is just easier to do on the farm in general, as you're already growing a good deal of the food yourself, but you can also shop around the neighborhood, trade with other farmers, and go to farmer's markets in the area, which just makes it easier to stay on top of seasonal foods. Container gardening is another tremendous help, especially during the winter months when growing capabilities are limited.
Some foods in season right now in Kentucky, where Barb is based out of, include strawberries, blackberries, herbs, tomatoes, lettuce, grains, root vegetables, beets, radishes, and carrots.
Meal prep beyond the city.
6 Pack Bags have so many more unique uses than previously imagined, one of which Barb pointed out: on a large acreage farm, the bags are a convenient way to keep your food on hand out in the field! Not only that, but the bags are good for picnicking and hiking as well. Barb and her family particularly enjoy hiking in the national forests that surround their home; they fill up their 6 Pack and four people have satisfied appetites within the beauty of nature.
Typical day of meals on the farm.
Barb took us through what a typical day of food would look like for her and her family on the farm, most of which is relatively attainable even if you don't live on a farm. Get inspired to create your own farm-style meal prep!
Barb's family raises chickens, so a lot of eggs and egg dishes are for breakfast.
Mid-morning snack:
Barb loves smoothies for a mid-morning snack. Strawberry and spinach is her current favorite – and so easy to carry with her using her 6 Pack!
Salad is a lunch staple, especially with the amount of produce to be had in the summer. Barb likes to get creative with her recipe for cucumber and green bean salad, generously shared with us below! But her main piece of advice is to take produce that tends to be prolific and make it a part of lunchtime during heavy growing season. For example, her autumn salad includes root veggies, potatoes, apples, ginger root, with some jerk chicken in it for protein. They also utilize the lake nearby for some seafood options, as well as black walnut trees on their farm for nuts.
Mid-afternoon snack:
Yogurt and granola is a classic mid-morning choice, with another smoothie to chase it down. Another one of Barb's recent favorites includes grapefruit topped with mint from her garden. Apples and natural peanut butter are also a staple, easy to pack and carry in your bag.
Dinner is a big event on the farm. You spend all day working in the field, so coming home to dinner is family time. The main protein source is typically some type of meat, usually steak, chicken, or fish, with a vegetable side and a fruit side, such as applesauce or strawberry dip, for a well-rounded and well-balanced meal. They often make their own bread and pastas, although they buy the grain themselves – even on the farm, you don't have to grow EVERYTHING yourself. They don't do dessert often, but when they do, fresh fruit is the name of the game.
Make use of canning, dehydrating, and freezing.
Barb and her family are avid canners. They start the process in October-November and preserve as much food as possible this way to last them through the winner; garlic is a big one. They also dehydrate a lot of foods, which make for excellent snacks throughout the year. Fruit and sweet potatoes are some of her favorites. Some foods can be dehydrated in the sun – strawberries, apples, and tomatoes – though it's not usually optimal due to the intruding presence of insects. It's also a commitment and quite a process, so Barb tends to use a dehydrating device instead. Freezing is the easiest method for preserving and works particularly well for meat.
Try not to waste anything.
Doing their best not to waste anything is just another part of the everyday for Barb and her family. In fact, it's a way of life that she's been living since age 5, and one that she would like to see everyone incorporate. If food doesn't get eaten by her or her family, then it gets fed to the chickens, composted, or preserved. You can always find a use for something. But she's lived in the city as well as the country, so she understands the difficulty. Even so, incorporating methods like container gardening and items like table-top composters do make it possible in the city as well as on the farm.
"You do the best with what you can. Maybe you can incorporate 25%, and that's good enough. It brings you that much closer to being fully sustainable."
Inspiration in a recipe.
Barb was gracious enough to provide us with a recipe for one of her favorite summer salads, a tasty and fresh cucumber and green bean dish. Check out the recipe below and find more of her work in her book Getting Laid: Everything You Need To Know About Raising Chickens, Gardening and Preserving.
Cucumber & Green Bean Salad

A Summer of Light
One of the most stable economies in the world; this land of mountains and forests is a great place to spend a summer. You will enjoy ministry and sightseeing during the longest daylight hours, whereas there are only seven hours of daylight in the winter. You will also be a part of a team who introduces many Swedes to the unconditional love of Christ.
After a decade of ministry in Stockholm and Uppsala, the ministry is expanding to the south. You will serve in southern Sweden in the province of Skane, ministering to students at universities in the cities of Malmo and Lund. This area of Sweden is a true cultural melting pot! Malmo's bridge to Denmark allows for easier transportatin for visitors and immigrants which provides the opportunity to minister to many different people groups. While statistics claim Christianity as the predominant religion in Sweden, it is actually an extremely spiritually dry country. The state run church has lost the gospel, leaving Sweden starving for truth in the post-modern era. You will truly be doing groundbreaking work as you share the Truth and Light with students in this beautiful land.
Most of your time in the afternoons will be spent meeting students on campus initiating spiritual conversations. You most likely will have the opportunity to enjoy fika* with your new Swedish friends. In the evenings, you will enjoy time with your team at team dinners, large group meetings, men/women's times, and outreach events. There will be no shortage of activities on this great project!
*afternoon coffee
Dates, details and cost are tentative and subject to change and will be finalized in early Spring.

A little bit more about us – Faradair Aerospace Limited is double award winning and most exciting new hybrid aircraft manufacturing programme in the UK.
We launched to the public on November 17th 2014 with our vision for a new class of 'Hybrid' eco-friendly aircraft that could offer owners and operators an economically viable alternative to inter-city road and rail transport.
The origins for much of our thinking and experience comes from one of the UK's most innovative UAV manufacturers in the late 1980's – ASVEC. A company that was at the forefront of joined wing technology and one that many considered to be 10 years ahead of its time. Faradair harnesses that innovation and builds upon a wealth of experience of its team members to create a market viable opportunity today.
But most importantly, we remember the likes of the de Havilland Dragon Rapide (shown in the photo above) and Dove, these were early airliners that carried passengers between cities more regularly than aircraft operate today and yet these aircraft operated over 80 years ago. So all of us at Faradair believe that we need to return to the skies on a regional basis, to improve quality of life, reduce congestion, reduce journey times, reduce emissions thereby increasing competition and choice within commuter networks to lower costs.
Based in the heart of the 'Cotswolds' region in the UK, this Cirencester has grown from start-up to scale-up, working with a select group of partners to deliver an innovative hybrid aircraft concept – BEHA (Bio-Electric-Hybrid-Aircraft).
Until the issues of noise, emissions and operational costs are addressed, the regional and urban aviation market opportunities will be restricted.
BEHA is designed to begin the transition to cleaner, quieter air travel. It will address the growing global requirement for eco-friendly transport options with lower cost of operations and multi-role capability. It will open the opportunity for responsible industry growth, creating a future 'Green Aviation' standard both in consumer and commercial aviation, based on deliverable technology, not fanciful trends.
In the first year of operations, the company achieved global media coverage, established key industry partners who provide expertise and engineering resources for key programme elements. In the second year of operations, the initial BEHA aircraft design began its transformation from a design concept to viable aircraft platform. This rapid development can be seen when you compare the image below from our initial launch to the images you see above and on the website today.
The first concept image and beginning of the BEHA journey
The primary development from the initial launch design shows us the change in propulsion idea. Initially the aircraft was to include a separate pusher propeller within a square duct, supplemented by side mounted electric ducted fan motors (mistakenly thought by some to be our ram air turbines for energy recovery).
Following our initial design analysis with Cranfield University, it was decided that a new, combined hybrid propulsion unit (that integrated an internal combustion engine and twin electric motors) could be deployed, utilising a traditional single duct configuration to assist in noise reduction, along with various aerodynamic modifications to the airframe as well.
The 'triple box wing' was issued a design patent and this wing is delivering flight capabilities that will support various mission configurations.
BEHA continues to evolve as supporting technology develops, now becoming a true multi-role aircraft, powered by an innovative hybrid propulsion system called the 'Hybraero H600'. Hybraero is a new joint venture between Faradair and PRODRIVE (more about that in our Hybraero section).
All of this has happened in just 24 months, imagine the possibilities of what we can achieve in the next 3 years!
Just some of the coverage achieved by Faradair
Why not join us on our journey via investment, to be involved in a new aircraft programme that could change the way we travel between cities.

This competition for a site in Warwickshire called for a non-denominational reception building to provide commemorative services for a green burial park. The site for the building was occupied by a barn, and the volume of this was not to be exceeded with the new structure.
We proposed a modern barn, constructed from materials sourced as far as possible from the estate. The best agricultural buildings have a sympathy and harmony with the landscape that contains them - a kind of 'rightness' - arising out of their strong, simple forms and affinity with nature which is the result of employing materials gathered from the surrounding landscape in their construction. The building would be part of, and contained by, the landscape that in turn shelters its occupants while framing and re-presenting the surrounding landscape to them.

"Dancing with your feet is one thing, but dancing with your heart is another." – Author Unknown
Children begin moving and "dancing" even before they are born. Their constant movement begins in the womb before they take their first breaths and continues as they move through all of the developmental stages. As soon as a toddler is able to walk, it is easy to see his or her affinity for music and the movement that it encourages. Toddlers love to dance, and it is the dance educator's responsibility to nurture that love when parents register their young children for dance classes.
Classes that are offered to children in the 3-5 age range need to be consistent with developmental stages of this age group. Just as a responsible dance educator would not offer pointe classes for six year-olds, strict technique classes should not be offered before the ages of 7 or 8 when the child is developmentally ready.
Children between the ages of 3 and 6 fall into Piaget's "pre-operational" category. This age group is able to focus on one thing at a time, can follow simple "do's and don'ts" and enjoys exploring, investigating, creating and imagining. Pre-operational children are able to learn to take turns, to share and to cooperate. Physically, these children are beginning to skip and hop and can balance on one foot for about ten seconds.
It is not until the next developmental stage that the attention span, sequencing ability, physical ability or the self-control required in technique classes begin to develop.
Dance classes offered to the 3-5 age group should reflect the pre-operational developmental stage. It is important that these creative movement classes focus on gross motor skills, the basic elements of dance and creativity.
Since fine motor skills are only beginning to develop, placing an extended focus upon them could easily frustrate the students. Dance steps can and should be introduced in a casual manner, but barre work and time perfecting anything should be saved for when the students get older. The quickest way to frustrate the students, frustrate the teacher and dampen the love of dance is to expect more of the students than they are capable of producing.
Creative movement classes can be used to introduce the elements of dance through various games and with the use of props. Shape might be taught through a freeze dance game, while pathways might be taught through parades, complete with streamers or even mini-instruments, or through games of "Follow the Leader". Imagination and creativity can and should be used extensively. Students can explore levels while pretending to be animals or pretending to crawl under trees and leap over streams on a jungle safari. Movement stories or short poems offer great opportunities to use dance to communicate.
Each class should also allow time for a free creative dance within one or two given parameters. The opportunity to freely move to music using imagination and creativity is a way to help a student's passion for dance stay alive past this stage of development. This stage can be used to ignite and preserve the passion that will be necessary when technique class begins.
Technique classes require hard work, a tremendous amount of effort and concentration. Those without passion will not succeed because steps without passion are simply movements. Helping a child develop a passion is a lifelong gift and developing a passionate dancer is synonymous with success.

About BetfairBetfair is the world's largest online betting exchange - and the only one available to Australian punters!
The Betfair betting exchange is basically a peer-to-peer wagering platform that allows punters to bet against one another on a huge range of events across racing and sport. In some ways it exists as a big betting marketplace. And given Betfair currently boasts over 4 million customers, it's a thriving one at that!
A key difference with the exchange is that the punter sets the market. The advantage of wagering through Betfair is the ability to BACK and LAY different outcomes, which effectively translates to backing something to either win or lose. The only requirement is finding another punter that's prepared to match the bet. This unique system offers up prices that aren't restricted by pool-driven market forces, which can lead to significant value for astute punters!
Betfair's core business model is simple: they make money by skimming a small commission off punters' winnings. And unlike other online bookies, Betfair's unique position as a facilitator means that if you win, they don't lose - they just pocket a small percentage. They really are one of the only wagering operators that can honestly claim that 'winners are wanted'.
Betfair HubBetfair's hub is an educational section of their website that they state "exists to make you smarter". Whether you bet with Betfair or not, it really is a fantastic resource for budding punters and enthusiasts.

Nevertheless the decline in commissions may be a lot more than counteract by the total amount of houses that may be sold. And finding quality real estate brings is one of the recommendations to causeing the a fact for real estate professionals. This really is since there are therefore additional attributes on the market today than there have been prior to the bubble burst.
The increase in the number of homeowners who are marine on the mortgages has improved therefore significantly that a very large quantity of them have decided which they cannot manage in which to stay their homes. They would rather offer their property and buy a comparable house for a lower cost, and take losing so that they can boost their cash movement condition by having a lower mortgage payment each month. And while there is no shortage of homes to buy, these folks had no issue finding a suitable home for a good price.
And yet another consequence of the increase in available properties is that more and more individuals are becoming first-time homeowners. Since rates on domiciles are falling, more and more individuals are able to manage a property for the same volume they are currently paying in rent. Therefore the plausible selection for these folks is to purchase a home as opposed to continuing to rent.
These facets all cause to at least one point – a greater significance of real estate brokers to simply help the getting and selling of many of these properties. Therefore, even though prices have dropped, the total amount of available homes, customers, and suppliers has raised which a lot more than makes up for the low rates in terms of just how much certain Flat Rate real estate Listing services will make in today's property market. And as most of us know, the more customers a real estate agent has, the more homes they'll sell and the more cash they'll make.
The problem comes in whenever a realtor has recently experienced their recent customer list. The simplest way in order for them to get more customers is to somehow get more property leads. Not merely do they require more leads, they want good quality brings when they are likely to be successful in converting a high number of these into customers who actually follow through on getting and/or selling a number of properties.
So how can you get more real estate brings? You will find of course a variety of ways. These generally include buying them from an firm that offers them, marketing, subscribing to cause technology websites, developing and maintaining current your personal property internet site that draws possible
customers to it, and best of all by keeping them during your possess network. You will find undoubtedly other ways of generating real-estate brings as properly, but they're the most typical methods – all of which have shown to perform to a certain degree.
One of many best ways to get real estate leads is by purchasing them. There are organizations whose sole purpose is to locate people who wish to buy or offer a property. They then promote these records to people who are ready to cover it. So if you're a agent searching for real estate brings and sometimes don't have enough time to locate your own personal, or simply do not desire to, then this might be a wise decision for you.
You can find two different important methods to do this. You can aquire the true estate brings from a business as a set of information that you will be in the form of a list or spreadsheet. Then you definitely will have to begin sorting through them and utilising the data offered to qualify and label them yourself. And from then on, it's time and energy to start creating calls to discover they're legitimate brings or not.
Another means of purchasing property leads is by subscribing to a property lead generator site that may send you significantly smaller lists of leads on a typical basis. This is nice because the information is apt to be far more current than investing in a simple large list of leads. But this also means that there are less to utilize therefore it does not give you the maximum amount of flexibility with regards to choosing who to contact first.
Purchasing real estate brings or subscribing to a lead technology internet site may also be expensive. That can be quite a very bad issue since the entire purpose of shopping for leads is to find customers, offer houses, and make commissions, if the brings that you get don't turn into commissions. Because situation, not just did you not provide any attributes (or several properties), nevertheless, you wasted income on ineffective information, and you lost time calling useless brings when you could have been taking care of locating good real estate leads instead.

Gather Information Regarding Jfk Flight Deals
It is said that the journey of miles start with just of single step. We have seen that there is just a single step you have to take and your flight ticket gets booked. When you are traveling to an international destination then you have to make a good deal. There are many deals that are cheap so choose them to save money and do not book ticket with the help of dealer. When you are booking the flight for international journey then it is not an easy task for anyone. Yes, it is sure that booking an international flight is budget shattering process but still you can easily get some cheap deals if you are not making crater deals.
Tickets: pocket friendly
If we are talking about jfk flight deals then there are many people who want that must reach as soon as possible. When you are searching for flight that do not stop or take brake then they are too costly but you can easily reach your destination in short time. However if you want that you tickets must be pocket friendly then you can easily go with multi-stop flights. If you are spending more time then you can easily get better deals for your flight which takes you at your final destination.
Confirm flight
You may know that international flights are confirmed by the people by seeing all the facilities and other carriers because they are paying more and they want proper facilities. People can easily compare price of flights so that they can make best deal for your destinations. When you are taking tickets for the flight that fix your budgets then they are not providing proper space for leg room and no free food in the flight. Always consider all the factors before choosing the flight.

A little bit of background on Jo, and then onwards to the interview!
Jo was born in 1980 and has a Bachelor of Science, but turned to writing because people tend to get upset when scientists make things up. Her hobbies include knitting, spinning, cooking and research. She lives in Adelaide with her husband and spends a lot of time daydreaming about snow.
You've described the cold and snowy environment in a lot of detail. Other than doing a lot of reading, did you travel anywhere to experience piles of snow?
The entire time I was petrified that I'd make some glaring error that would expose me as a fraud… it all came to a head when my publisher told me they were sending the book to Robin Hobb for a cover quote. Hobb had been one of my favourite authors for years, but I realised then that I actually knew very little about her, so I looked her up and saw that the grew up in Alaska! I just about had a heart attack, and when she sent me a message I replied to say that I was genuinely terrified, because if I'd got anything wrong, she was certain to pick it. She wrote back to say that I'd got the cold parts exactly right, which was an incredible relief! It doesn't stop me from snatching up everything I find on cold-climate environments, though, and I suspect I'll still be doing it long after Children of the Black Sun is all in print.
Q2. One of my favourite things to read about in fiction is moral ambiguity or "shades of grey" in terms of character choices. That is something which your character Rasten embodies. Where did the inspiration for him come from?
My characters first come to me with a few key aspects sketched out --- for example, to begin with I knew was that Isidro was wounded and Sierra was running away from something, but that's all. Rasten began as an ordinary henchman, but one of the first things I knew about him was that he loved Sierra.
To begin with I couldn't reconcile these two aspects, his love for Sierra and his obedience to Kell, but as the story came together and I had to climb inside Rasten's head, I realised that he was far more complex than I first thought. It's a rule for me that all my characters must make the best decisions they can and do everything in their power to achieve their goals --- I can't let them make stupid decisions for the sake of the plot --- and the old saying that every villain is the hero of his own story was important here, too.
It took a long time to work out what made Rasten the way he is and why he makes the choices he does --- he is quite mad, but ultimately all his actions make perfect sense to him. His morality is learned from the world around him, a cruel and sadistic place where pain and power are all that matters. He's always done whatever it takes to survive, and he realised long ago that no-one's going to rescue him. He has no choice but to save himself, and that means using anyone or anything he can get his hands on. Once I realised this Rasten exploded onto the page and became a major character in the story. But the ultimate question for his character is whether his love for Sierra is enough to guide him out of the twisted world Kell has made for him, or if the damage he's sustained is simply too great.
In the world you've created the living arrangements are very communal and families are polyamorous. What led you to choose that sort of culture, particularly the latter aspect? Will that be explored further in the final book?
As for whether we will see more of this in book three… well, at the close of Black Sun Light My Way, Cam and Isidro, Sierra, Mira and Delphine are all scattered across two continents. If they do manage to re-unite, they're going to have to figure out just what the future holds for them, and whether the damage that was done can be repaired, or if their only choice is to forge new bonds from the scraps that remain.
Do you have a title for the third book in the Children of the Black Sun? Can you tell us a little about your future writing plans after this series is done with?
Book three will be called North Star Guide Me Home --- it's a story about homecoming, about fighting to reclaim a stolen motherland and build new lives from the ashes of war. However, those who've laid claim to the north by right of conquest will not willingly give up their prize, and they've had a great deal of time to learn the strengths and weaknesses of the battered souls marching homewards.
Once North Star is done I'm planning to dive into research for my next series, which will draw inspiration from India and ancient Greece, with leylines and dragons and a sprinkling of science. I'm quite taken with ideas of magic-as-technology, but whenever I mention this people start talking about Steampunk. I don't really think of it that way, and in any case I have been reliably informed that it can't be steampunk without an element of Victorian England, which I can promise will be conspicuously absent. Either way, I can't wait to get started!
Thank-you, Jo for taking the time to answer my questions! I'm certainly looking forward to reading North Star Guide Me Home next year and the new books that come after. Jo Spurrier is a writer to watch.
