DALLAS—The first thing Michael Bell remembers in life is helping his grandmother in her vegetable garden.
He would grow green beans and tomatoes alongside her in their small town of Bowie, Texas. During the winter they protected seedlings using plastic bottles they gathered from friends.
Most families raised cattle; Bell's did too. And while many of his peers dreamed of roping and riding on the ranch, Bell preferred the plants.
Thirty years later, in a sprawling North Texas metropolis, Bell has joined the movement to bring farms to big cities. Some people call him the "plant daddy of Dallas," or "the salad guy."
"I want to be the reason why Walmart can't sell produce in Dallas," he said between crop rows and sun tarps at Dallas Half Acre Farm, which sits on a residential street in a rural area in the southeastern part of the city.
Bell harvests lettuce, zucchini, tomatoes, spring onions, carrots and other seasonal vegetables. He also raises chicken and collects eggs from quails on a wild plot strewn with tools and lots of overgrown grass. Nestled at the end of a street behind bushes and trees, there are four large greenhouses shaped like tunnels, a shed and a chicken and quail coop.
Across the country, urban farmers like Bell hope to meet the challenges of climate change, public health and food insecurity by reclaiming unused city spaces to grow healthy, local, organic produce.
Urban farming, also known as market gardening or regenerative farming, is the practice of growing food in urban areas for highly populated communities. It is one potential solution to increased food insecurity due to climate impacts.
Texas scores fourth in food insecurity in the country and climate change is predicted to exacerbate the situation in coming years.
While the most recent report of the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change said that climate change is a threat to food and nutritional security, Joe Masabni, the extension vegetable specialist at the Texas A&M AgriLife Dallas Center, believes food production is not in a crisis just yet. He does, though, recognize that some neighborhoods are already food deserts, while others are home to huge supermarket chains but no locally grown, organic food.
"There are a lot of factors contributing to that," Masabni said. "Loss of agricultural land due to urbanization, changes in consumer taste, people wanting to buy organic and climate change."
The Dallas Center, located in a futuristic, glass-walled building in North Dallas right next to the University of Texas at Dallas, focuses on sustainable innovations in urban agriculture. It is one of 13 centers in Texas that conduct research, public outreach programs and education for current and future agriculturalists.
Masabni focuses on education for vegetable growers. He said the center tailors its research around common problems urban farmers face.
"When we have the answers, we set up programs, conferences or field days to visit with growers and educate them on our research," he said. The Dallas Center's last conference, on Dec. 6, was aimed at beginner and expert growers.
Dallas Half Acre Farm keeps true to its name: Bell operates on less than half an acre. "I didn't know that a career was there," Bell said of growing organic produce in the city.
Bell, 43, teaches elementary school physical education full-time. He discovered the practice of urban organic farming through YouTube. Once he was hooked, Bell did as much research on the topic as he could.
"As soon as I got involved in it, and I started asking people about food and listening to people complain about food, it just clicked," he said. "I can grow healthy food. Every customer that I get just strengthens my resolve to keep going."
Beverly Lanier, a resident from Rowlett, Texas, has been buying from Bell for over a decade. She said she can taste a complete difference between produce from Bell and the supermarket.
Lanier recalled a moment she shared with her family while eating Bell's carrots. "They were delicious," she said. "The family and I were all like, what is this taste? You can't find carrots that taste like this!"
"Being in the urban area, we are exposed to chemicals everywhere. Why would we want to ingest any more?"
Bell prides himself on his approach to growing crops.
Everything at Half Acre Farm is done by hand. The soil is never tilled, to save nutrients, and fertilizer is never used, something he said makes his crops taste better than average.
Bell hand seeds smaller crops and transplants larger ones. Drip irrigation slowly waters the plants, both conserving the amount used and giving the crops exactly the right amount of water to thrive. The water pump runs off of solar energy because there is no electricity at the farm.
"I believe that my farm is adding more to the environment than taking away, which is what we should all aspire to do," he said.
Bell believes anyone can have an eco-friendly urban farm. He travels all over the Dallas-Fort Worth area speaking at conventions, colleges and high schools to teach his methods. He also offers individual mentorship and internships to aspiring urban farmers.
"If I feed 100 families in my subdivision every week for a year, I can make $120,000," Bell said. "Right now there are currently 600 families in my subdivision.
"People don't realize how much money you can make from doing this, in just a backyard," he said.
His goal is to teach others how to start their farms while also showing the profitability of the practice, and the message is spreading.
Dirk Tanner is just one of many farmers who have reached out to Bell for beginners' guidance.
Tanner, 29, also discovered the idea of small-scale farming through YouTube. When he learned it was possible to make a sizable income with a little land, Tanner said the concept astounded him.
"I just always imagined farms being massive," he said.
Tanner, who began his urban farming journey in Denver, now has a farm in Greenbrier, Arkansas. He follows many of Bell's techniques such as no tilling and emphasizing building soil life to produce highly nutritious vegetables.
Tanner said he strives to have a diverse regenerative farm. In addition to vegetables, he sells pasture-raised eggs from chickens fed on organic grain.
"It is the most fulfilling thing when we go to the farmers' market every week. People come back and say, not only was it the best salad they've ever eaten, but that it lasted so long," Tanner said.
"I know they are eating a product that is incredibly clean and builds soil life," he said. "We're not depleting life. We are regenerating the land, which helps the environment and makes a healthier community."
Tanner says urban farms are essential for communities because there is a need for local food supplies. "[The U.S. is] shipping the majority of our lettuce from California and Arizona, using fossil fuels to get them here," he said.
"As more people begin to urban farm we can take back our food supply," Tanner said.
"Food builds community," he said. "Growing food builds community and empowers people. I think urban farms are not only vitally important to our food security but also vital to human connection and human life."

Masabni said he does not think it is necessary for people to become farmers just to gain the benefits of eating organic foods.
"Not everybody likes to be outside, sweat and work with the mosquitoes," he said. "Some people want to eat vegetables, but they don't want to or know how to grow them. That is a big part of the population."
Masabni also warned about possible health concerns when buying produce from small-scale growers, sometimes referred to as hobbyists, that sell produce at farmers' markets. "I think this is a weakness that needs to be addressed," he said. "Just because it is locally produced doesn't mean that it is clean, or that it doesn't have E. coli."
Responding to foodborne illness in the country, the Food and Drug Administration enacted the Food Safety Modernization Act in 2011, creating rules for farmers to prevent contamination. Smaller farms like Bell's are exempt from this act unless selling to restaurants or stores.
For Bell, urban farming is not just a business venture, but a personal journey.
When his grandmother passed away, leaving him an inheritance of $7,500, Bell decided to turn their shared love for plants into a profitable organic farm.
He bought what became Dallas Half Acre Farm on his birthday in April 2016, paying the same amount of money that he had inherited from his grandmother.
"That's fate," he said.
He wants to teach as many people as possible about urban farming. It isn't easy work, he said, but with some land, guidance and motivation, he believes anyone is capable of being self-sufficient. In the future, Bell hopes to see farms in every neighborhood, with each individual and community able to provide for themselves.
He believes that regenerative farms should be included in city infrastructure and that education must begin with younger generations, his reason for speaking to many high school students. "I'm hoping just to get one kid interested out of the 100 I'll talk to," he said.
While not everyone may be suited to regenerative farming, it is a practice more urban communities are adopting to address food concerns.
There are many different ways to be involved in community farms, such as volunteering, community outreach and dedicating time to the growing process. Texas A&M's AgriLife also works with shelters across Texas to provide fresh, healthy food to people in need.
Despite small-scale farmers' challenges, Bell said he could not imagine doing anything else.
"Even if I won the lottery today, I would still come to my farm first thing tomorrow morning."

When Selena Gomez launched Rare Beauty back in 2020, the message was simple: break down previous notions that everyone must be perfect, and shine a light on mental health issues.
While this may have broken every budding makeup brand's dream, brands like Fenty Beauty shared similar, groundbreaking mission statements: bolster inclusivity in the makeup industry and force all brands to do the same in the process.
Inspired by her 2020 album, Rare, Rare Beauty began with the basics: 48 foundation shades, lip balms and matte lip creams, eyebrow definers, and the icon, liquid blush. Four years later, it's hard to imagine a more viral, innovative celebrity makeup brand that remains in stride with Fenty.
Quickly, the Rare Beauty Soft Pinch Liquid Blush became TikTok's go-to staple product. And no one can deny there is no blush on the market that is as pigmented, easily blendable, and long-lasting as this one. Selena Gomez has proven herself a bonafide content creator with her charismatic social media posts for fun Rare Beauty launches like an under-eye brightener, an SPF-laden tinted moisturizer, and lip combos.
Not only is Rare Beauty inclusive in shade range, but the spherical shape of the top of their products is disability-friendly.
As of 2024, Rare Beauty is a $2 billion company. But what sets this company apart is their attention to detail and true dedication to bettering the world. The same year that Rare Beauty was founded, the Rare Impact Fund was also created.
What Is The Rare Impact Fund?
In a statement by Gomez on the Rare Impact Fund's website, she states,
"The Rare Impact Fund is committed to expanding access to mental health services and education for young people everywhere. We work with a strong network of supporters and experts to bring mental health resources into educational settings to reach young people.
Because no one– regardless of age, race, gender, sexual orientation, or background - should struggle alone."
Upon their start, the Rare Impact Fund committed to raising $100 million by 2030. Along with corporate sponsorships and donations from individuals, 1% of proceeds from all Rare Beauty sales go towards the charity as well. By 2021, they had donated over $1.2 million in grants to eight mental health institutions including Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence.
In 2021, the Rare Impact Fund launched a GoFundMe for their new Mental Health 101 initiative. According to the GoFundMe,
"Mental Health 101 advocates for more mental health in education, empowers our community, and encourages financial support for more mental health services in educational settings through the Rare Impact Fund,"
Promising to match up to $200,000 in donations, to date the GoFundMe has raised over $500,000 and has donations from less than six months ago.
How The Rare Impact Fund Works
By leveraging both Selena Gomez's millions of social media followers and the four million people who follow Rare Beauty on Instagram, the Rare Impact Fund quickly trickles into visibility. Suddenly, fans of the brand and Gomez alike can help make a difference by donating even a few dollars in honor of their favorite actress-singer extraordinaire.
As of 2023, the Rare Impact Fund helped grantees like UCLA Friends of Semel Institute, Batyr, La Familia, Mindful Life Project, Black Teacher Project, and Trans Lifeline. According to the website, they have raised $6 million in contributions and distributed $3 million in grant support so far.
Rare Beauty and the Rare Impact Fund alone are blazing a trail for all brands: you can make a change while still distributing high-quality products — and it pays off.
Steve Irwin's Family Has Helped 90,000 Animals
Many of the Australia Zoo's most recent patients came from the severe bushfire.
According to CBS, nearly half a billion animals have died in the bushfires that are currently terrorizing Australia.
Australia is home to expansive, unique wildlife, as well as plenty of residents who are fighting to keep the beauty of their country intact. One famed family, the Irwins—of the late Steve Irwin—is taking major steps to help.
Terri, Steve's widow, took over the Australia Zoo after his death in 2006. Since then, she and the two Irwin children, Bindi and Robert, have continued their shared passion for wildlife conservation and environmentalism, which has only been amplified in the wake of the fires.
"With so many devastating fires within Australia, my heart breaks for the people and wildlife who have lost so much," Bindi wrote on Instagram, ensuring fans that the Zoo and the Irwin's home would be safe. "Our Wildlife Hospital is busier than ever though, having officially treated over 90,000 patients."
Below, check out some of the recent patients at the Australia Zoo that the Irwins have helped.

The next online course with Trinlay Rinpoche to study Moonbeams of Mahamudra by Dakpo Tashi Namgyal is scheduled for four successive weekends March 9-31, 2024. The course format is about 90-minute sessions of teachings and Q&A each Saturday and Sunday, which begin at: 12:00pm Eastern / 11:00am Central / 9:00am Pacific in the USA and 6:00pm CET in Europe over multiple weekends.
Registration is open at: https://ezregister.com/events/39955/
Read on for more information.
A Student's Perspective on Karma Trinlay Rinpoche's Online Course on Moonbeams of Mahamudra
Since April 1, 2023, Karma Trinlay Rinpoche has been giving in-depth teachings on the Buddhist text Moonbeams of Mahamudra by Dakpo Tashi Namgyal. This is the third part of a broader set of teachings on the "51 Mental Events" (the Buddhist Abhidharma teachings), and is meant to serve as a primer for meditation practice and dealing with the afflictive states of mind. This class is geared towards lay practitioners with some meditation experience and previous background in introductory teachings in the Abhidharma.
The main English-language text used by Rinpoche in teaching the course is a translation by Elizabeth M. Callahan published by Snow Lion in 2019. Rinpoche has also been using the Tibetan source text for the book and the texts cited within Dakpo Tashi Namgyal's guide to compare and contrast different translations and provide his own commentary. This is helpful for students to understand the text and the limitations of the English language in communicating experiential and subtle aspects of meditation and Buddhist ideas.
In the first set of teachings in the most recent course, Rinpoche held 90 minute classes on Saturday and Sunday over 3 successive weekends. During each class, Rinpoche reads the text aloud and provides in-depth commentary and explanation. The class thus proceeds in a thoughtful, deliberative way which helps practitioners of all levels to be able to absorb the material and get a feel for how it would be beneficial to approach the text themselves. The course has covered chapter 1 of Moonbeams (which discusses the common exposition of śamatha and vipaśyanā) so far, and within that chapter we've covered explanations of the causes of śamatha and vipaśyanā, elimination of the obscurations to śamatha and vipaśyanā, identification of the essences of śamatha and vipaśyanā, objects of meditation for śamatha and vipaśyanā, presentation of the divisions of śamatha and vipaśyanā, analysis of the order of śamatha and vipaśyanā, the way to cultivate the unification of śamatha and vipaśyanā, and the results of śamatha and vipaśyanā.
At the start of the course, Rinpoche provided his own introduction for the text, including its relationship to the Mahayana preliminary and meditative practices. Rinpoche's introductory explanations help to guide students to appreciate how the subject matter of the text fits within their own study and practice. Each subsequent class proceeded with Rinpoche reading the text and providing commentary, and sometimes longer background explanations, in order to provide the appropriate historical and cultural context for Western lay practitioners and students. Rinpoche takes time to answer questions during each class, and provides insightful and comprehensive answers to every person, which I usually find to be very helpful even if I didn't have the same question myself.
So far, this course has personally helped me to deepen my understanding of how to develop calm abiding and the importance of ethics and the preliminary practices (specifically, contemplating the four thoughts that turn the mind away from cyclic existence) to progress in my meditation practice. This has benefited my daily meditation practice, and given me increased motivation to continue and improve in that practice. It has also inspired me to go back and review Rinpoche's previous online teachings, particularly those on the "Four Immeasurables," as practicing them are important for making progress in meditation and on the path generally.
I highly recommend Rinpoche's course to interested and serious students of Buddhism that want to deepen their understanding of the practical aspects of meditation covered by Moonbeams, even for students who have studied the text on their own. Rinpoche is an excellent, comprehensive and compassionate teacher, and extremely effective at making important and subtle aspects of Buddhist philosophy understandable for a Western audience that includes students and lay practitioners of various degrees of experience. For those who are interested in gaining additional background on Rinpoche's previous online courses in the Moonbeams series as well as the "Four Immeasurables" and the "51 Mental Events," the recordings are available.

The second annual Barrett-Jackson Cup is in the books. What an incredible event, drawing the top names in the industry to compete for the coveted Best in Show award. This years winner was a 57 Chevy pickup built by Hot Rod Garage and owned by Alan Beers.
In only it's second year the competition was exceptional. Imagine the AMBR winner, SMOY winner, Ridler Winner, SROY winner and Great 8 finalist all under one roof.

Tiger's Eye is a golden-brown banded variety of quartz that exhibits chatoyancy, or the "cat's eye effect"–a luminous streak that moves as you rotate the stone.
Tiger Eye is a stone often feared and revered for being an all seeing and all knowing eye. In Ancient Egypt, it was used in the statue eyes of their deities. Often used to portray courage and strength, Roman soldiers carried the stone into battle. The colors of the stone showing deep browns with rich layers of gold made it appealing to be used for jewelry.
Made with durable Latex-free professional strength elastic as with all my bracelets. And I guarantee my work.
As with natural stones, they differ, so each bracelet will vary in slight ways. Each Bracelet comes with a pouch to protect your bracelet while not wearing it.

One of the best ways to stay on top of your finances is to create a financial calendar. This will help you keep track of important dates, such as bill due dates and tax deadlines, and ensure that you never miss a payment.
If you have credit card debt or loans, make sure you check your interest rate. You may be able to save money by refinancing or consolidating your debt.
Knowing your net worth is essential for tracking your financial progress. Make sure you keep track of your assets and liabilities so you can see how much you're worth over time.
Setting a budget is key to financial success. Make sure you track your income and expenses and allocate your money wisely.
If you're struggling with overspending, consider an all-cash diet. This means using cash only for your purchases, which can help you stay within your budget and avoid debt.
Spend one minute each day reviewing your finances. This can help you stay on top of your budget and avoid overspending.
Make sure you prioritize your financial goals and allocate at least 20% of your income towards them. This could include saving for retirement, paying off debt, or building an emergency fund.
While it's important to prioritize your financial goals, it's also important to budget for lifestyle spending. Make sure you allocate about 30% of your income towards things like entertainment, dining out, and travel.
Create a visual representation of your financial goals with a financial vision board. This can help you stay motivated and focused on your goals.
Make sure you set specific financial goals, such as saving a certain amount of money or paying off debt by a specific date. This will help you stay focused and motivated.

Watch out world the Barkers are coming!
Hey everyone, Happy valantines day!!
They don't really go in for it over here, just another crazy european thing as far as they are concerned, I say fair enough but any excuse for romance is good in my book. Dave and I are going out for a cheap and chearful Italain 5 mins from the house, it will be good to spend some time just the two of us, as we are with other people all the time at the mo. Not that that is a problem as they are all great and we are meeting more and more people all the time.
Last weekend it was my birthday and we went out for a lovely meal with some friends then onto Chapel street (where else, it is the place to be in Melbourne!), and I was given a beautiful ring by my wonderful husband. As Dave mentioned we both have jobs now and yes he is earing more money which is lovely for me especially as I am working 9-3 mon-fri, how easy is my life!! I will be working a lot more when the common wealth games starts though. I spoke to Zoe the other day, she rang me out of the blue from Sydney, (a very close old school friend of mine) and she might be coming down on the opening weekend because her bloke's brother's band is playing. It would be great to see them sooner that expected. If not we shall definately see them in Sydney. This weekend we met up with an Irish couple who we met in Rio all those months ago, who are on a similar trip to us. Strange to see someone you met travelling and have so much to alk about, just like old friends, we shall definatelty be seeing a lot of people again. On fri night we saw a guy from Ireland who we had met 3 years previous in Byron bay, I went and asked him if he was the same chap and he was so we sat and chated for a while, very small world isn't it!?
On Saturday Dave and me went to see the Globe Skateboarding championships in the tennis stadium. It was an excellent day out, never thought it would be so exciting and hart racing. They were excellent, expecially the small kids. A 14 year old 'Ryan Sheckler' won and the runner up was an 11 year old with really long dreads, just the cutest kid ever. The older ones had style but not the passion. We did feel rather old though as 90% of the crowd were under 18. Dave was also rather annoyed as the skate fashion has changed some what to really tight jeans, and I mean really tight! converse shoes and the simple style t-shirt which was going to be his breakthrough. I am sure there will still be a market though, Yella is still going to happen.
This friday we are moving to our cockney mates house on the other side of the city, which will be much more fun than with the 'slabs!' and so much cheaper. Then we can concentrate on buying a car and start travelling on the weekends to Adelade, Bells beach, Ocean road, etc.
Don't think there is much more to report, other than sending you lots of love valantines day
Ellen and Dave

New cover crop research can help groundwater sustainability agencies plan
Cover crops seem to offset their water use by improving soil moisture retention
Cover crop research conducted by a team of university researchers is now helping to inform and shape policy to implement the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA) in several San Joaquin Valley counties.
"The Madera County Regional Water Management Group appreciates continued scientific discussions on SGMA-related issues, and especially enjoyed hearing from researchers on cover crops," said Tom Wheeler, chair of the Regional Water Management Group for Madera County and a Madera County supervisor. "This is work that should be helpful to growers as they evaluate cover crops as part of their sustainable future."
To help protect groundwater resources over the long-term, groundwater sustainability agencies (GSAs) are developing groundwater sustainability plans for their local regions.
"Our findings suggest that cover crop water use is negligible in most water years and the long-term benefits can help GSAs meet their management goals," said Alyssa DeVincentis, a former UC Davis Ph.D. student who worked on the project. "How cover crops impact soil moisture depends on species and management history, but generally soil moisture at the end of the winter season did not differ between fields with winter cover crops and clean cultivated soils."
From 2016 through 2019, UC Agriculture and Natural Resources researchers and their collaborators amassed very large data sets from almond orchard and tomato field sites located between Chico in Butte County and Arvin in Kern County. They used the data to quantify changes in soil water storage and evapotranspiration that occur under cover-cropped and bare fallow conditions during the winter cover crop growing period – about November to March.
The research team includes UC Cooperative Extension water specialists Daniele Zaccaria, Samuel Sandoval-Solis and Jeff Mitchell based at UC Davis; DeVincentis now of Vitidore, Inc.; and Anna Gomes, Ph.D. student at Stanford University.
The GSAs must first quantify the amount of water going into the groundwater bank through rainfall and surface water irrigation versus the amount of groundwater being removed at all farms within the GSA's jurisdiction.
"To do this, many local GSAs are turning to remote sensing and modeling of evapotranspiration, or ET, to provide data on the regional balance between groundwater depletions versus recharges," Mitchell explained.
"Because winter cover crops may appear on remote sensing images as water-using vegetation, the sole use of model-driven data coming from satellites could become a disincentive to the practice being used."
"This approach may not account for the important benefits that winter cover crops provide San Joaquin Valley farmers like Justin Wylie, a Madera County almond and pistachio grower who works with the research team," Mitchell said. "He has experienced the benefits of winter cover crops firsthand, including increased water infiltration, habitat and carbon for soil organisms, and reduced water run-off."
Cover crops grown during the winter may not use a lot of soil water because ET during this period tends to be low. They also provide shading and soil surface cooling, which help reduce soil evaporation. In addition, Mitchell said that cover crops can improve soil aggregation, pore space and soil moisture retention.
Together, cover crop benefits seem to offset or compensate for their actual water use during the winter.
"Because GSAs need reliable and accurate information related to this important issue and to possible shortcomings of relying solely on remote sensing as the way to go, our research has been particularly timely in the context of SGMA," said Daniele Zaccaria, associate professor and water management specialist in UC Cooperative Extension at UC Davis.
A presentation about their cover crops research is available on YouTube at https://youtu.be/x3xQlZ9EdCk. The webinar is intended for water agency personnel, but the information is relevant to anyone who is interested in how cover crops may influence San Joaquin Valley cropping systems and the water cycle, Mitchell said.
A peer-reviewed article about this cover crop research, " "Impacts of winter cover cropping on soil moisture and evapotranspiration in California's specialty crop fields may be minimal during winter months," will appear in the first quarterly issue of California Agriculture in 2022.
California agriculture industry must act now to adapt to climate change
"This article received more than 1000 views in less than a day," Pathak wrote in an email to colleagues.
The review article summarizes historical and future climate trends and their impacts on California agriculture. The authors also suggest adaptation and mitigation strategies.
Shortly after Kearns, California Institute for Water Resources academic coordinator, tweeted, "We've got a new paper out, led by @Ag_Climate: "Climate Change Trends and Impacts on California Agriculture: A Detailed Review". Everything we know about #ClimateChange & California #ag, all in one place http://bit.ly/2opsDtB," journalists took notice.
"Climate change could decrease the yield of some crops in the state by up to 40 percent by 2050. That's a big deal for farmers growing more than 400 commodities," Ezra Romero of Capital Public Radio reported. "Tapan Pathak, a UC Cooperative Extension specialist based in Merced, and his research team analyzed more than 90 studies on climate change and discovered that warming temperatures may alter where crops grow across California. Their findings were published in Agronomy Journal.
"In order to make California agriculture more sustainable we have to act now," Pathak said.
Ian James of the Desert Sun spoke with Kearns. "One under-appreciated aspect of California's climate is how important our temperature envelope is to California's agricultural sector. The right temperatures at the right times are absolutely crucial," said Faith Kearns, a scientist with the California Institute for Water Resources who was part of the team. "For example, warm weather in January and February can reduce almond yields, but warm summers can reduce peach yields. So, there really is no-one-size-fits-all adaptation approach."
In her report for KQED, Amel Ahmad noted, "Climate scientist and author Peter Gleick called it the most important report he's seen on the impact of climate change on California agriculture."
The study was also covered in Courthouse News Service by Nick Cahill, Think Progress by Natasha Geiling, Digital Journal by Karen Graham, Grist by Nathanael Johnson, NPR by Ezra Romero, Modern Farmer by Dan Nosowitz and Fresno Bee by Brianna Calix.
This study was supported by the UC President's Carbon Neutrality Initiative and UC ANR.
What can California, Israel and Australia learn from each other about drought?
Drought management experts from Israel and Australia will join U.S. scientists in California for a workshop in Modesto on Jan. 12 and 13. Growers, crop consultants, irrigation practitioners, state agency members and others are invited to participate.
The two-day event, "Proven Solutions to Drought Stress: Water Management Strategies for Perennial Crops with Limited and Impaired Water Supplies," is designed to foster conversation on a variety of drought management aspects and strategies. The drought workshop will be held at the Modesto Centre Plaza at 1150 9th Street in Modesto.
"California, Israel and Australia have all faced recurring drought conditions of varying severity and duration," said James Ayars, research agricultural engineer of USDA Agricultural Research Service in Parlier, Calif., who spearheaded the event to bring together this prestigious group of scientists. "In view of more frequent and more severe recurring droughts in the years to come, it makes sense for us to pool our knowledge and plan more strategically for the future."
Other speakers include Shabtai Cohn, head of Israel's Agricultural Research Organization Soil, Water and Environmental Sciences Institute, John Hornbuckle, associate professor at Deakin University in Australia, and other researchers from Israel and Australia.
This workshop is sponsored by the USDA Agricultural Research Service, UC Agriculture and Natural Resources (UC ANR), UC California Institute for Water Resources and the Israel Ministry of Agriculture's Agricultural Research Organization.
"We hope to share expertise gained from experiences in our respective countries and learn new approaches for growing crops with limited water and poor quality water under the prospect of increased climate variability and change," said Daniele Zaccaria, UC ANR Cooperative Extension specialist in agricultural water management in the Department of Land, Air and Water Resources at UC Davis and one of the event organizers. "Although Australia and Israel have very different climatic and socioeconomic conditions, there may be drought management strategies and policies that work in California that they can apply, and they may have practices and policies that we can adapt to address issues in California."
Registration is $80 and includes lunch for both days. Dec. 18 is the deadline for early registration. After Dec. 18, registration is $120 until Jan. 1, 2016, and $150 after Jan. 1. There will be no on-site registration.
Certified crop advisers can earn continuing education units: Soil & Water Management 12.0 CEU and Crop Management 0.5 CEU.

Lodging is available next to the Modesto Centre Plaza at the DoubleTree Hotel at 1150 9th Street in Modesto.
Drought tips available for farmers
To help farmers make the best use of the water they have available, a series of new and updated drought tips fact sheets has been developed by UC ANR scientists and funded by the California Department of Water Resources.
"These drought tips provide irrigation management recommendations for a broad range of agricultural crops and under different water supply conditions," said Daniele Zaccaria, UC ANR Cooperative Extension agricultural water management specialist at UC Davis and major organizer of the drought tip series. "The information in these tips will be of practical use for growers and other water-related stakeholders now and into the future as our agricultural community continues to adapt to climate variability and to a changing water supply situation."
UC ANR scientists have identified best management practices for a wide range of annual and permanent crops and irrigation systems and methods during the drought. In the drought tips series, they also give advice for managing soil salinity and using shallow groundwater for irrigating crops. For beef cattle, they provide recommendations for culling herds and feeding to supplement grazing.
The following drought tips are currently available for free download at http://ucanr.edu/drought-tips:
- Drought strategies for alfalfa
- Drought management for California almonds
- Use of shallow groundwater for crop production
- Drought strategies for walnuts
- Fog contribution to crop water use
- Reclaiming Saline, Sodic and Saline-Sodic Soils
Decades of UC ANR research underlie the information contained in the drought tips. In the 1970s and again in the 1990s, UC ANR partnered with DWR to develop a series of drought management fact sheets.
"DWR has worked with UC ANR to update the drought tips and make sure the latest and best information on water management is available to growers," said Peter Brostrom, DWR Water Use Efficiency Section Manager.
The California Institute for Water Resources, which coordinates water-related research and extension education across the 10 UC campuses and UCANR, has the drought tips and more drought resources online at http://ciwr.ucanr.edu.
"Even if El Niño brings rain this fall, water scarcity will continue to impact California farmers," said Doug Parker, director of UC ANR's California Institute for Water Resources. "As climate change continues to reduce the average annual snowpack, it is likely that droughts in California will become more frequent and severe in the years to come."
UC ANR's California Institute for Water Resources and the California Department of Water Resources also offer drought-related information in a series of videos. Water experts from UC and other agencies and institutions have recorded presentations on high-priority drought topics. Currently 38 videos can be accessed for free on computers and mobile devices at http://ucanr.edu/insights.
UC Agriculture and Natural Resources researchers and educators draw on local expertise to conduct agricultural, environmental, economic, youth development and nutrition research that helps California thrive. Learn more at ucanr.edu
Too wet outside to work? Watch a drought video
"California will need about 150 percent of normal rainfall this winter to end the drought," said Doug Parker, director of UC California Institute of Water Resources. "Although the rains have come, we can't afford to let our attention drift away from carefully managing our water supply."
The UC California Institute of Water Resources, with support from the California Department of Water Resources, has recorded presentations by scientists in the UC system and other organizations on a variety of topics related to water management and drought. "Insights: Water and Drought Online Seminar Series" is accessible by computer or mobile device.
The online seminars enable UC Cooperative Extension and the other scientists to share their knowledge with a larger audience than those who can attend meetings in person, said Daniele Zaccaria, UC Cooperative Extension specialist in agricultural water management in the Department of Land, Air and Water Resources at UC Davis.
"Farmers, landscape professionals, land managers, irrigation consultants, resource managers from water districts and others can view the half-hour video presentations on YouTube whenever it is convenient for them, obtaining science-based information that stems from applied research conducted by several scientists over the last 10 to 15 years," said Zaccaria, who coordinates the speaker series.
Currently 39 videos addressing drought and water management in different settings are available, and more talks will be added in the coming months. The videos are also being used by Cooperative Extension in other states and have been viewed hundreds of times. "Groundwater and surface water interactions under water shortage," by Thomas Harter, UC Cooperative Extension specialist in the Department of Land, Air and Water Resources at UC Davis, has been viewed nearly 1,400 times and "Climate change and paleoclimatology: 2013/2014 in perspective" by Lynn Ingram, professor in the Department of Earth and Planetary Science at UC Berkeley, has been more than 800 times.

- No college loans desired
- Loans programs at the mercy of finally recognition
Even though this would be to instill particular depend on inside Marcus, that they sensibly disburse money so payday loans Hawaii you can borrowers ready paying back your debt and you may who are borrowing currency for the right factors, it decreases the process down. Moreover it produces the possibility of an application bringing installed upon a beneficial technicality.
What this implies more than anything, although, would be the fact since there are other personal loan programs available that are going to award money much more rapidly, either immediately, individuals who you prefer their money quick might choose to believe a beneficial more program.
It is also not uncommon having individuals having college student debt to find a personal bank loan so you're able to re-finance what they owe within a much all the way down rate of interest, or for any other college-relevant expenses eg:
- Tuition
- Textbooks
- Area and you can panel
Furthermore not unusual to have consumers having pupil personal debt to look for an unsecured loan to help you refinance whatever they owe at a much straight down interest rate, or all other university-relevant costs like:
- Paying-from what is actually due to a collector is actually an enjoyable solution supplied by Marcus, particularly for those individuals seeking consolidate large-notice personal credit card debt at the a reduced interest rate. But not, new drawback would be the fact all of your membership wide variety need to be made available to Marcus during the application.
It's also quite normal for individuals having college student debt to get a personal bank loan to help you refinance what they owe from the a significantly all the way down rate of interest, or for other college or university-related costs including:
- Offering this type of amounts can really reduce the app processes. To begin with, people have to have almost all their account numbers obtainable during the the purpose of app. More difficult than it sounds for those who have numerous notes, and particularly for anyone who's chop up their notes so you're able to do its investing.
Regardless of if sometimes those individuals account number also are at the base away from the fresh new report, when the mastercard account amounts commonly on hand at the time of the app, credit card issuers must be called, and you may the fresh new notes must be given. That will occupy in order to 10 working days, then postponing the procedure.
And also as aforementioned, not work right at any part along the way one to will get trapped from the Marcus quality-control while the financing could be delayed even further.
Eventually, and though Marcus are remarkably payment-free to have a personal lender, miss a payment on the team and it will become said with the around three major credit reporting agencies, placing a good ding on your own credit score.

Video Transcript: The Safest Estrogen Foods for Reducing Breast Cancer Risk
Ty Bollinger: Talk about estrogens in food. Soy has what is called phytoestrogens, right?
Dr. Desaulniers: Right?
Ty Bollinger: Talk about plant estrogens.
Dr. Desaulniers: Okay. Food has been around since we've been around. Plant estrogens do not act like aggressive estrogens. They are very protective. They protect against DNA damage, they block the estrogen receptor sites. They actually reduce the level of circulating estrogens in the body.
Flax, for example – a study that I like to quote – there was a study done at the University of Toronto where they took women who were getting ready to have surgery, they measured their cancer markers and their tumor levels, and for a month they gave them five teaspoons of ground flax seed in a muffin, which probably was made with white flour and sugar, but, anyway, the ground flax seed was in there.
And in 30 days their markers went down by 30 to 71%, just with ground flax seed. Fermented soy—if you use non-GMO, organic, whole fermented soy, it has a very protective effect. It turns on the p53 suppressor gene, it reduces the circulating estrogens. It is a protective food. Look at the Asian society. They have used soy in their diet for thousands of years and their breast cancer rates are much lower.
Ty Bollinger: But the keys are that it is non-GMO and fermented.
Dr. Desaulniers: Absolutely.
Ty Bollinger: It is interesting, isn't it, that we have to say non-GMO. Soy, by nature; corn, by nature; cottonseed, by nature –all of these things that are genetically modified – they are actually not GMO by nature, right?
Dr. Desaulniers: Correct.
Ty Bollinger: And so when you genetically modify them, they're not really any longer that substance anymore.
Dr. Desaulniers: The real food.
Ty Bollinger: They're something else.
Dr. Desaulniers: They're frankenfoods. They're foreign foods so your body doesn't recognize what they are.
Eating right is one of the most powerful ways to prevent, treat, and beat cancer.

Dogs and wolves are related in a number of ways. Both belong to the Canidae family, which includes other canids such as coyotes, jackals, and foxes. Dogs and wolves share a common ancestor, and they are thought to have diverged from that ancestor about 40 million years ago.
Today, there are more than 400 million dogs in the world, while there are only about 200,000 wolves. Wolves are much larger than dogs, with males averaging about 180 pounds and females about 130 pounds. Dogs come in a wide range of sizes, from tiny Chihuahuas to large mastiffs.
Wolves live in packs of six to 10 animals, with a strict hierarchy led by an alpha male and female. Dogs also live in groups, but they are not as rigidly organized as wolf packs.
Wolves are mainly carnivores, eating mostly meat. Dogs are omnivores, and their diet includes both meat and plants.
Wolves reproduce once a year, typically giving birth to four or five pups. Dogs can reproduce multiple times a year, and litters can range in size from one to 12 puppies.
Wolves are wild animals, while dogs are domesticated. Domestication is a process that began about 15,000 years ago when humans began to breed dogs for specific purposes such as hunting or guarding.
While dogs and wolves are related, they are also very different. Dogs have been bred to be loyal and trusting companions, while wolves are often seen as dangerous and aggressive. These differences are the result of thousands of years of evolution and human intervention.
What Are the Similarities Between Dogs and Wolves?
There are several similarities between dogs and wolves. They are both members of the Canidae family, which includes other canine species such as coyotes, jackals, and foxes. Dogs and wolves share many physical characteristics, including fur coloration, body shape, and teeth structure. They also exhibit similar behaviors, such as howling and digging.
However, there are also some significant differences between dogs and wolves. For instance, wolves live in packs while dogs typically do not. Wolves also tend to be more aggressive than dogs. Additionally, while both animals are intelligent, dogs have been bred to be more trainable than wolves.
How Can You Tell Your Dog Descended from a Wolf?
Now that we've established that all dogs are, in fact, descended from wolves, let's take a look at how you can tell if your dog has wolf ancestry.
There are a few physical traits that are common in both wolves and dogs who have wolf ancestry. These include a thick coat of fur, large paws, and a long snout. However, there are also some behavioral traits that may be indicative of wolf ancestry. Dogs with wolf ancestors tend to be more independent and less responsive to training than other dogs. They may also be more aggressive and territorial.
If you're interested in finding out if your dog has any wolf ancestry, the best way to do so is to contact a reputable breeder or DNA testing company. A DNA test can give you a definitive answer as to whether or not your dog has wolf ancestry. However, it's important to remember that even if your dog does have wolf ancestry, that doesn't necessarily mean it will exhibit all of the aforementioned behaviors. Every dog is unique, and its individual personality will be determined by a variety of factors, including genetics, environment, and socialization.
So, if you're wondering whether or not your dog has any wolf in them, there's no need to worry. Regardless of their ancestry, they're still the same lovable, furry friend you've always known and loved.
Signs Your Dog Has Wolf Ancestry
If your dog has any of the following characteristics, it may have wolf ancestry in its lineage:
· A high prey drive
« How to Rescue and Adopt a Golden Retriever in Las Vegas: A Guide for Loving Dog Owners

This means that they have a strong urge to chase and catch smaller animals.
· High intelligence
Wolves are known for their high level of intelligence, and this trait can be passed down to their descendants.
· Strong survival instincts
Wolves are natural survivors, and these instincts can be passed down to dogs who have wolf ancestry.
· A thick coat of fur
Wolves have thick coats of fur to protect them from the cold weather, and this trait can be passed down to their dog descendants.
· A wild or feral appearance
If your dog looks more like a wolf than a dog, they may have wolf ancestry in their lineage.
Similarities of Your Dog with Wolves
If you have ever owned a dog, you know that they can be very similar to their wild cousins, the wolves. Both are pack animals with a strong hierarchical structure, and both enjoy spending time with their families. In fact, many of the behaviors that we see in our dogs today are actually based on those of wolves.
One of the most obvious similarities between dogs and wolves is the way they communicate. Both use a variety of vocalizations to express themselves, including barks, howls, whines, and growls. They also communicate through body language, using facial expressions and postures to convey their emotions.
Another similarity between dogs and wolves is their social structure. Both live in groups or packs, led by a dominant male and female. The pack provides protection, hunting assistance, and a social structure for its members.
Dogs and wolves also share many physical similarities. Both have four limbs, sharp claws, and sharp teeth. They are both carnivores, although dogs are also known to eat some plant material. And, of course, they both have that signature wagging tail!
Of course, there are also some differences between dogs and wolves. Dogs have been domesticated for thousands of years, while wolves are still wild animals. This means that dogs have been bred to live with humans, while wolves have not. This difference is reflected in the temperament of the two animals; dogs are typically much more friendly and docile than their wild cousins.
Despite the many similarities between dogs and wolves, it's important to remember that they are still different animals. If you have a dog, appreciate them for the unique creatures they are!
Our Final Thoughts
So, there you have it. We have finally discussed how dogs and wolves are closely related to one another and how they share similar traits. If you have been wondering whether your canine friend is a close relative to their ancestor the wolf, you are probably right in thinking that way.
