Agricultural economist Brent Carpenter showed capital reserves dropping while debts increased as he moved numbers around on a spreadsheet he designed to model farming expenses over time. Wry laughs emerged from the 25 person audience.
"I know what you're thinking — this looks a little too familiar, right?" he said.
Carpenter spoke at a MU Extension event Thursday in Boonville intended to help beef cattle farmers impacted by this year's drought. This week, parts of Cooper County, Howard County and Boone County all received the "exceptional drought" designation, the most severe category of drought. For local farmers, this has had devastating impacts.
"I'm just trying to see what I can do here, and what my options are," said Robert Felten, a row crop and livestock farmer in the Pilot Grove-Blackwater area.
Due to a particularly dry growing season last year, Felten started the season without any feed reserves. Dry conditions have limited the amount of grazing land available and hay prices have increased significantly throughout the drought, making it far more expensive to feed livestock. Felten, without reserves and wary of another dry growing season, sold 20 percent of his cows this spring.
"It was difficult to do," he said. "I'm a purebred red angus breeder, so I had a lot invested in those animals, and they're really expensive."
Several years of below-average rainfall set the stage for this "exceptional" drought.
"Believe it or not, we've been moving toward this drought for the last three years," said Gene Schmitz, a livestock expert who also spoke at the event. "We haven't recharged our subsoils in four years."
Extended periods of low precipitation can lead to chemical imbalances in soil, like excessive nitrates, that can damage crops and harm animals. "Don't expect normal management to get you through an abnormal situation," Schmitz said. " You can keep doing what you've always been doing, but it's going to come at a price."
Schmitz recommended that farmers take care to reduce waste in the feeding process while still ensuring that animals receive the proper nutrients by testing feed for nutrients and nitrates while accurately weighing and delivering the appropriate amount of food to each animal each day.
The mid-Missouri drought drew national attention last week after U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Sonny Perdue declared 25 counties (including Cooper County) as natural disaster areas. This designation makes area farmers eligible for emergency livestock assistance funds under the 2014 Farm Bill. As of Aug. 7, area livestock producers are eligible for reimbursements up to $62 per cow and $46 for each calf weighing more than 500 pounds. The deadline to apply for funding from the USDA is Nov. 15.

It's been an important yr for memorable albums and banger tracks. But which of them have been the true standouts in a sea of huge hits?
The specialists give their 2 cents on the matter.
Myf Warhurst
Double J doyenne
1. Sampha – Process
Sampha's voice has been heard on tracks for Solange, Kanye and Drake, and eventually he received round to doing his personal factor on his debut. This soul baring file walked away with the Mercury Music prize within the UK for greatest album of 2017 for good purpose. Get on it.
2. Jay-Z – 4:44
The massive man of rap is again, and he is coming to phrases together with his hardest topic but – himself. On 4:44, he faces as much as his previous and owns as much as earlier unhealthy boy dishonest behaviour. This album takes rap to a deeply private new degree. Expect the imitators to comply with.
3. The War On Drugs – A Deeper Understanding
The Philly band makes music that's model new, however feels such as you've heard earlier than. Impeccably recorded, it is an album of lengthy songs and wonderful guitars during which to lose your self.
4. Jen Cloher – Jen Cloher
This is a rare album written at a time when she was watching her companion, Courtney Barnett, take over the music world. A robust and private meditation on long-distance relationships, inventive jealousy and politics.
5. St Vincent – Masseduction
St Vincent's mental and idiosyncratic strategy finds a pop coronary heart. But do not be fooled; the attractive melodies belie the often darkish content material. There is a few disappointment on the core of this file, which makes it much more intriguing.
Amy Shark
Our latest pop princess
1. The Smith Street Band – More Scared of You Than You Are of Me
Singer Wil Wagner is a lyrical genius and one of many nicest people you'll meet.
2. Lana Del Ray – Lust for Life

Deep, lyric heavy, significant and so 2017.

The Queen of New Zealand delivers once more.
5. Stormzy – Gang Signs & Prayer
I noticed him stay at Splendour and have been addicted ever since.
Danny Rogers
Co-founder of Laneway Festival
1. Slowdive – Slowdrive
Beautiful subliminal music that takes me again to going to see Steve Wide DJ and him introducing us to artists like this. 21 years later, this new album is 1 to behold.
2. Vince Staples – Big Fish Theory
A really private fave. Vince received my son into hip-hop and is the best instance in modern American hip-hop to amalgamate off-kilter beats with acute rapping insights right into a world shifting so quick. Done with wit, social duty and modesty.
3. The War On Drugs – A Deeper Understanding
Just when the world appears to assume guitars are redundant, bands like WOD hand in a basic masterpiece.
4. Aldous Harding – Party
As distinctive, private and downright oddly stunning as something you might be prone to uncover this yr.
5. Jlin – Black Origami
Electronic music at its most completely crafted. Delivers a salute to footwork whereas constructing its personal distinctive journey. A chunk of music that goes from the subdued, to the inspirational, to essentially the most confrontational sensory overload doable. Pure genius
Electro pioneers Chloe Klaus and Simon Lam
1. Four Tet – New Energy
The most constant artist we all know. He hasn't put out a nasty file. It's good to hearken to this specific file as a result of you possibly can sense the benefit in his writing course of. We hearken to this and really feel like we will really feel the enjoyable Four Tet had while creating it.
2. Tyler The Creator – Flower Boy
Got into the behavior of listening to this each night time after we'd get residence. Perfect music to finish your day.
3. Kelela – Take Me Apart
An enormous inspiration. She creates such stunning, technical melodies and harmonies that appear so easy.
4. Kirkis – Vide
One of essentially the most charismatic and modern artists in Australia in the intervening time. He may be very refreshing to observe and this album is a masterpiece.
SZA has the voice of an angel and this album is fireplace. Full of quirks and relatable, distinctive lyrical content material.
Check out the gallery above to see the listing of 2017's greatest albums.

SAN FRANCISCO (CBS.MW) -- Toronto-Dominion Bank confirmed Wednesday it's in talks to take a stake in Maine-based Banknorth Group.
Such a move would give the Canadian bank TD, +1.10% its first foothold in U.S. branch banking.
The deal could see TD Bank take a 50-percent controlling stake in Banknorth BNK, +4.34% the Financial Times reported late Tuesday. Banknorth currently has a market capitalization of about $5.5 billion, which would value the deal at more than $2.2 billion.
According to the Wall Street Journal, the deal being worked out values Banknorth's shares at a 20 percent to 30 percent premium over their Tuesday closing price of $31.70. That could make the deal would be worth up to $3.5 billion
Banknorth's shares climbed 10 percent to $34.88, while Toronto-Dominion fell 3 percent to $34.17.
"At this point there can be no assurances that the discussions will lead to an agreement. The companies do not intend to comment further on this subject unless an agreement is reached or the discussions have been terminated," the banks said in a joint statement early Wednesday.
The reported deal reflects the changing landscape of banking in New England after Bank of America's acquisition of FleetBoston earlier this year.
"Banknorth needs a bigger balance sheet in order to remain competitive in the market," Bear Sterns analysts said in a Wednesday research note. They said a deal with Toronto-Dominion would provide that, while allowing it to retain a fair amount of independence.
The deal, if successful, is likely to make other New England banks reevaluate their long-term strategy, analysts said.
"The two most directly impacted by this are Webster Financial and to a lesser extent Sovereign Bancorp. We think both of these names trade up on the news," Bear Stearns said.
Indeed, Sovereign Bancorp SOV, +0.43% and Webster Financial WBS, +0.78% rose by 2.7 percent and 5.4 percent, respectively.
In January, TD's negotiations to acquire E-Trade Financial ET, -0.77% broke down. See related story.

2 Seasons
Most adolescents are rebellious and don't want to do what their elders tell them, which can cause problems. The problems can be worse when the parents are clerics who want their kids to live by their creed-influenced code. This reality series follows several pastors' daughters who clash with the orthodoxy of their parents. Some of those daughters also have children of their own, while others give in to other temptations, including drinking alcohol and partying a little too much.

We fly via Madrid to Santiago in Chile, then we catch the local one flight per week to Port Stanley in the Falkland Islands to arrive on the 24th September 2016. At the harbour we rendezvous with the skipper of the boat that will sail us down across the Southern Ocean to South Georgia approximately 750 miles. The boat is called Pelagic and is one of two boats run by Skip Novak, for an interesting insight to some of the work Skip does and some edge of the seats images check out his website www.pelagic.co.UK. We then have several days getting acclimatised to the weather conditions on the island as well as checking out a variety of wildlife colonies and visiting a few of the historically important sites on the island. Upon making a rendezvous with our mountain leaders Stephen Venables and Crag Jones who will have just completed a climbing expedition on South Georgia we then head off to tackle the Shackleton Traverse. To do this we'll be ski touring across the island to meet up with Pelagic and then against a foul wind we'll beat back up to the Falkland Islands to catch our return flights on the 29th October 2016.
So how do you get 4 non explorer types to step up to the challenge... Well, safely of course with lots and lots of training.
Training started on 17th October 2015 with Aileen and Cian on a weekend climbing course with Nathan Kingerlee from Outdoors Ireland at the Gap of Dunloe. A grand weekend in glorious weather got everyone inspired and off to a flying start. Then followed a mountain skills weekend at Loch Guitane near Killarney for the four intrepid amateurs with Nathan, another brilliant weekend but a warning about our distinctly average personnel equipment and limited experience was evident. Nothing wrong with our enthusiasm though. In between organised training we worked on our fitness and got some decent walks in on the Macgillucuddy Reeks. Cian decided to have a crack at a climbing leaders course over 2 long weekends with Nathan at the Gap of Dunloe and then on to the cliffs at Dingle, rumour has it the rain came down in torrents or so it seemed to us when we glanced out of the window on the way to make another cup of tea. Early December saw us all together again so for an afternoon's brisk walk we headed off to Goulane and the Old Kenmare Road to walk up Peakeen. Now it's only a hill but very steep in places, wet and boggy now coupled with the fact the cloud had dropped almost to Windy Gap the navigation and route choice was important, it's so easy to muck things up if your being complacent. Fortunately we got down safe and sound and in time for Aileen to head in to work. Next up was a day's training with ice axes, crampons and roped up around Mangerton with Nathan, the snow having come down the boys had a cracking day out. We were joined by a friend who hoped to catch a bit of footage of the team doing some winter training. That brought the curtain down on the training in Ireland for the winter, now it was off to the Tatra Mountains in Poland for some serious skiing and mountain skills training with Gaz from White Sides Holidays, Zakopane, Poland. Gulp.

Fine finishes help to fire Cottesmore into cup semi-final
Two excellent-executed finishes fired Cottesmore Amateurs into the semi-finals of the Daniels Cup on Wednesday night after a 2-0 home success over Stamford Lions.
The Leicestershire Senior League Premier Division side were good value for their victory as a goal in each half from Wilson Iron and Tom Pope saw off the challenge of their Peterborough League Premier Division visitors.
Lions were left rue to a crucial second half penalty miss with the match finely-poised at 1-0 to the hosts as Tom Cardall saw his spot kick saved by Cottesmore custodian Ben Challis.
In what was expected to be a close contest against two sides at the same level of the non-league pyramid, Cottesmore made the most of the early running against a Lions side who, with a crucial table-topping tussle against Moulton Harrox on Saturday, were shorn of several first-team regulars.
Pope blasted an early sighter over for Amateurs after a slick move while Danny Seals set off on a surging run before firing his shot just wide.
The deadlock was broken midway through the first period with a sweet strike from wing-back Iron who latched onto a loose ball in the box before unleashing a rasping drive that gave Aidan Finn in the Lions goal no chance.
Lions rallied after the break and enjoyed their best spell of the game as they looked for a way back into the contest.
The lively Dan Aust saw an effort blocked after a spritely burst forward before Lions were awarded a penalty when Cardall was felled by Sam Cayley.
However, custodian Challis came to Cottesmore's rescue with a smart stop to keep out Cardall's spot kick and hand the initiative back to Amateurs.
And they made the most of the let off moments later when Seals crafted an opening for Pope with an astute pass and the home marksman turned smartly before applying a tidy finish past Finn.
Challis was called into action again to tip a looping effort onto the crossbar as Lions saw their hopes of a comeback dwindle.
It was Cottesmore who came closest to adding a third when Finn produced a good save to keep out a stinging shot from Jordan Smith as they comfortably saw out the remainder of the match to secure their semi-final spot.

ALTON — Magician Chris Carpunky is working hard to make every frown in Greater Alton disappear.
Carpunky performs live magic shows every Saturday at 10:30 a.m. at the Alton YWCA in the only magical theater of its kind in the area.
"This is Alton's first magic theater in its 177-year history," Carpunky said. "People can come see a live magic show every week. I am making history and I hope people come to enjoy the show and make part of Alton's history."
Alton Mayor Brant Walker even joined in the fun on Saturday, Aug. 9, as he sacrificed his arm in the name of showbiz (don't worry, our mayor is still intact).
Carpunky has been performing magic shows since 1988 in Illinois, Missouri, Kansas and Indiana. After seeing a performance by David Copperfield, Carpunky chose to follow in Copperfield's footsteps and learn the art of magic himself.
"After watching Copperfield, I went to a magic shop a week later in Florissant, Mo., and bought a few tricks and practiced them over and over," Carpunky said. "I went to my local library and began reading up on the subject, and within a year I was performing at birthday parties and, a couple years after that, at school assemblies."
Second only to Copperfield himself, he was the second-youngest magician to teach magic at a university when he taught at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville in his early 20's.
Carpunky not only strives to make his shows affordable, he wants to give back to the community as he shares his talents.
"I feel my greatest accomplishment is happening now as I am opening my magic theater," he said. "I can present a magic show every week to amaze and amuse families in the area, and the great thing about this project is 40 percent of the proceeds go to supporting our local YWCA."
He says performing magic for audiences full time would be the ultimate dream. "Terrific support" comes in the form of Carpunky's wife, Carrie, and their daughter, who helps with the show and merchandise. Items for sale at the shows include magic kits and wands.
The events are family-oriented and filled with audience participation from adults and children.
"It is estimated only 5 percent of the population will ever see a live magic show," Carpunky said. "I am going to make that rate go up. Everyone needs a little magic in their life."
The YWCA is located at 304 E. 3rd St. in Alton. Tickets are $7.25 for ages 3 and up and children younger than 3 are admitted free with one adult ticket. Seating is limited; tickets are available on Carpunky's website in advance at www.chriscarpunky.com or by calling (618) 614-3250.

Wedding registries have become so pervasive in the past few years that guests have now come to expect them. The concept of the wedding registry was first created in the 1920′s, and allowed the bride and groom to choose a pattern for china, silver, and crystal dinnerware. In the 1990′s, Target introduced the electronic self-service gift registry, and now registries include everything from the traditional china to towels, cash funds, charities, and even DVDs.
If you're like me, you're probably conflicted about wedding registries. On the one hand, they make it easier for guests to purchase gifts without worrying that the couple doesn't want/need the gift, but on the other hand, telling people what to give you just seems so damned tacky.
Unfortunately (or fortunately?), the decision has been all but made for us nowadays, with wedding registries being so common that not having one would turn heads. And it's not all bad, registries do certainly make the gift buying process easier, but they also introduce a host of new complications and stress inducers that you should be aware of. After the jump, some of the most common wedding registry headaches.

Rage Against The Machine
Well, it took Jerinx, from the Superman is Dead fame and one of the principal organizers of the Concert Against the Anti Pornography Bill, four days to send a few visual momento of the concert. We suspected that the slow delivery time must have something to do with a prolonged, sustained hang-over due to over-intoxication of high speed, adrenaline booster, establishment grinder melodies.
So, down below are four samples of the loud resistance of our music community, including the banner of support, where you could and still can sign your name to the cause. The pictures were taken by Corise 2006 and the names of the band where hidden in the title of the postings. Could you guess them?
The Concert took place on last Saturday (March 4, previously we wrote down April 4, we sincerely apologized for the mistake) afternoon at the Sentral Parkir Kuta. In the following night, two other concerts were held in the Apache Club and the Wave. Salute for Jerinx , Dethu and all those "bad boys" out there that had made the Concert possible.
PS: The stage backdrop (with the Garuda bird and the word Remember) is way, way, way cool. It was designed by somebody named Electronposts @ http://electronposts.blogspot.com, who for quite some times have posted stunning images in support of the cause. Our advice: visit the site and prepare to be stunned.

JHSF Takes Risks to Make Profits
JHSF is a market leader in the real estate market in Brazil. Founded in 1972, JHSF has seen good and bad days, but the persistence and determination of the management have brought the firm to its current success. JHSF mainly focuses on such functions as commercial and residential markets acquisition, management, and development. The firm categorizes the kind of real estate it engages in, and this is mainly shopping centers, executive airports, and hotels. Upon being accepted in the market, JHSF started participating in the stock market; its shares have been traded in FBovsespa and NorvoNercado stock markets for ten years.
JHSF management team takes risks that the ordinary real estate companies or investors will not take. They mainly identify opportunities in the high-end Brazilian market and devise the strategic measures required to take the opportunities. Mainly, the firm does what has not been done, and is usually the market leader in Brazil. The managers at JHSF say that even when a venture presents risky probabilities, they embrace it as long as it promises ample returns in case of success. The managers at JHSF posit that they avoid pessimism as this would make them avoid chances that would boost their success. The management also says that if losses occur, they learn from them and make better decisions in future. Being a pioneer in many market opportunities makes JHSF highly profitable in comparison to other organizations.
JHSF mainly operates in prestigious capitals like Salvador, Sao Paolo, and Manaus. In these locations, the company mainly constructs and develops hotels, malls, restaurants, and international airports. The firm has several achievements in its span of operations. Case in point, the Catarina urban development project has been completed. The first phase of the above project was the Catarina fashion boutiques and the Catarina executive airport. The second phase entailed the high-class hotels by JHSF in the influential parts of Brazil.
The Vitra building, which was designed by Daniel Libeskinf also belongs to JHSF. The building has been rated by experts among the top 3 best buildings in the world. The Vitra project also completed other 34 state-of-the-art projects, which are all owned by JHSF.

Professor Stephen Sowerby, the director of the Applied Science programme at the University of Otago, has co-founded two companies based on his research in nanoparticle analysis and agricultural parasite diagnostics.
In turn, his commercial experience has been important in promoting the value of commercially focused research to his university students who are interested in science innovation and enterprise.
Professor Sowerby and David Christianson, the Commercialisation Manager at Otago Innovation Ltd, explain the importance of being able to provide students with an applied focus to their science research.
Professor Sowerby from the University of Otago has co-founded two companies based on his research in nanoparticle analysis and agricultural parasite diagnostics.
Professor Stephen Sowerby
I was set an enormously attractive challenge to develop some technology that suits farmers. So what we've done is be able to really revolutionise the way in which parasitology has been done for 50 years, and we've changed that model, and it's changed the business model as well.
David Christensen
Stephen has got a very strong track record of commercial application, so this applied science focus. And he's not afraid to get his hands dirty. He wants to understand not only the problem but the context that that solution is going to be working in.
Professor Stephen Sowerby
I think the science behind the discovery is profoundly simple and elegant, and it's robust in its utility. We've got some international buy-in, and we've got some support from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation to try and apply it to human applications in the developing world. So with the Techion story, previously they were running a service where they would analyse samples in laboratory, but what they can do now is they can beam those sample images back from anywhere in the world to the laboratory based in Dunedin and do the processing by digital analysis.
David Christensen
It's really essentially a game-changer for them – the way they're able to deliver their offering to the world.
Professor Sowerby has a passion for imparting commercially focused research to tomorrow's entrepreneurial researchers.
Professor Stephen Sowerby
For students who are interested in science innovation and enterprise, to be able to make those connections between what they're taught in the classroom and what happens in the commercial sector.
David Christensen
A vast majority of these students are not going to be academics. They're going to go into industry, and having this applied focus to their science is going to set them up incredibly well. Commercialisation, it's a tough pathway for academics to follow, and having people like Stephen so passionate and enthusiastic about it is really incredibly valuable for us.
Professor Stephen Sowerby
From a really simple idea, in terms of trying to assist a local business, we've really changed the way something is happening on a global stage.

Dawn A. Tobin, Experiential Program Facilitator
"There is no passion to be found playing small - in settling for a life that is less than the one you are capable of living." - Nelson Mandela
Are you ready to experience your full potential? Dawn Tobin is an accredited Outreach Program facilitator for The Monroe Institute - the world renowned leader in consciousness exploration and personal transformation. By providing the conditions that have resulted in extraordinary personal transformation for thousands, TMI's programs have attracted participation from every part of the world for more than 30 years.
Workshops incorporate specifically designed exercises based on Hemi-Sync® audio-guidance technology, together with explanation, discussion and supportive group interaction. Hemi-Sync® is the cornerstone of TMI's success. This pioneering technology incorporates highly specialized sound patterns and frequencies to guide you into deep relaxation while you begin to discover and explore profound new regions of your own consciousness, new insights, resources and guidance - beyond your physical senses.
After completing a TMI program, the head of a Zen Buddhist temple believes… "[Participants] can reach meditation states [in a very short time] that took him years." He soon began incorporating Hemi-Sync® as a training tool for his own students.
A personal note from Dawn: My relationship with TMI began in 1995, first as a participant of TMI's residential programs, then as an Outreach Facilitator and member of TMI's professional division. My experiences have included direct communication with inner sources of superior intelligence, alternative realities, remote viewing, and out-of-body exploration. These are profound revelations, but surprisingly common among Monroe participants. The value is not in the novelty of such experiences, but the practical application of expanded awareness in all aspects of living. Hemi-Sync® facilitates a state of "whole brain function" making available a broader range of perceptions with which to: solve problems, develop creativity, obtain guidance, relax, reduce pain and stress, focus and concentrate, meditate, sleep deeply, enhance spiritual being, improve relationships, discover greater health and healing, and release self-limiting thoughts and behaviors. A self-empowered life free of fears and limitations is the best result of all. Isn't it time you found out for yourself?

At each culture there is a certain set of customs, traditions and etiquette. Actually, one of the important distinctive features between one nation and one tribe, from other, is as a rule, its own set of customs, traditions and etiquette. The nation or a tribe formed by followers of prophets and envoys of God is not an exception. In formation of Moslems, prophets of God directed their followers that they corresponded to certain sets of customs and etiquette which would distinguish them as the nation of followers of prophets Divine. However, as the main objective of all prophetical doctrines, weeding of human reason, a body and soul from everything that profanes it, customs and etiquette for this group of people, also were fixed and promoted their development with the same purpose on prospect.
The Arabian culture, initially, consisting of adherents of tradition of Avraam, has been made of customs, traditions and etiquette, even before appearance of the Prophet. Only with several insignificant exceptions, the Prophet has kept invariable traditions and customs of a heritage of Avraam. Thus, these traditions, as a rule, are more primitive part of Islam, in comparison with the Koran. After approval of the Prophet, customs have been passed a Muslim community through a consensus and practical perpetuating of associates of the Prophet.
Here some the basic Islamic customs, traditions and etiquette:

Invented in Italy (where else), cone shaped pizzas -- think pizza slice meets ice cream cone -- are the latest fast food craze. Kono Pizza offers the convenience of eating on the move without making a mess. The EUR 1.50 cones are filled with the desired toppings, then cooked in a special oven in only three minutes. Kono currently runs 5 restaurants in Italy (Rome, Milan, Verona, Udine, Salerno), and is actively looking for franchisees.
It has already sold the concept to entrepreneurs in Spain (Madrid), Germany (Kassel), Kuwait and Indonesia (Jakarta), and has apparently also installed its first oven in Harrods, London. That leaves another 185 or so fast-food obsessed nations hungry for the next hot thing in snacking and obesity.
DRY Soda is the first culinary soda in a line of all-natural, lightly sweetened beverages designed for those wanting a sophisticated non-alcoholic option to accompany a meal. The soda is currently being sold in four flavors: kumquat, rhubarb, lemongrass and lavender. All natural, non-caffeinated, flavored with fruit and herb extracts and sweetened with pure cane sugar, each bottle of DRY soda contains just 50-70 calories.
Less sweet and more sophisticated than Coke or Pepsi, DRY soda is specifically designed to be paired with food; each flavor accentuating certain types of food. The website offers descriptions of each of the four flavors in much the same way as a good wine. Descriptions include the soda's characteristics, suggested food pairings and even a mixer idea if consumers wish to mix the soda with their wine or use it as a base for cocktails. Lavender, for example, is a great accompaniment to cheese, pork and chocolate, whereas lemongrass works well with Asian dishes.
The concept was dreamt up by Seattle based entrepreneur Sharelle Klaus who, when pregnant, was frustrated with the lack of non-alcoholic options on the market. Seems like a good niche addition to a growing market for 'adult sodas'. DRY Soda is currently only available in the US, distributed like a wine rather than a soft drink, and it's on the menu at a select number of upmarket restaurants. Worldwide interest is growing, so it's a good time to get involved!

Dubbed 'crackberry' by some, Pinkberry is the latest edible craze to hit West Hollywood. So fanatical are consumers, that they're willing to line up outside the shop to buy some of its famous yoghurt tang. Pinkberry's frozen yogurt is made from real yogurt – fermented milk, and that's it. Unlike many other commercial frozen yoghurts, Pinkberry is sour, tangy, creamy and not overly sweet. Non-fat selections include plain and green tea, flavoured with real green tea powder, and there's an array of toppings on offer. Sugar lovers don't go uncatered to with toppings like chocolate chips, cocoa pebbles and cinnamon toast crunch. But the main deal is the heapings of fresh fruit such as mango, blueberries and watermelon. Smoothies are also available.
Owned by Sherry Hwang, the Pinkberry concept was developed when Hwang was denied permits to open either wine and cheese shop or small tearoom in her first LA space. So she took inspiration from Korean frozen-yogurt chains Red Mango and Iceberry. The Korean influence is definitely there, in the presentation of the yoghurt and the design of the stores. Pinkberry currently has 5 stores in LA (where the LA Times has dubbed it "the taste that launched a 1,000 parking tickets"), and one store in New York's Koreatown. The Manhattan space is decorated with Philippe Starck's crystal-clear Charles Ghost stools and Victoria Ghost chairs and wavy, repro pendant lights by Poul Christiansen. New stores are being developed in Chelsea, the Upper East Side and Soho. Stressing the purity of 100% yoghurt and fresh fruit, this could be a great franchise opportunity to take outside of the US and Korea.

How it works? A generous buyer logs onto bcodedrinks.com or a venue's own website, selects a bar and a drink, enters the recipient's mobile phone number and pays for the drink online. The recipient receives a message, takes their mobile phone to the bar and holds the sms drink voucher under a scanning device. The voucher is verified and the drink can be grabbed at the bar.
The service's website lets users choose different themes and graphics to jazz up a voucher with an animated, personalised message. They can write a message and upload their own images, which can be projected on a venue's big screen. "For retailers, applications like bCODE-Drinks demonstrate how they can convert a web visitor into a store customer using the mobile phone. It's like pay-per-click advertising, but it goes from online to offline into the physical world," said Michael Mak, CEO of bCODE.
A limitation is that the service is a tad on the expensive side – both for the consumer and the bar, which has to install special scanning equipment. This isn't the first time an idea like this has cropped up: check out our previous spotting Buy me a beer. Whether a gimmick or a true convergence of beer and bytes, the concept is definitely a novel way to buy someone a drink and embarrass the hell out of them with a message on their local's big screen ;-)

Belated post of our recent trip to Barcelona...just now getting over jet lag, upset house pets, usual deadlines and a bout of lingering travel stomach (thank God for CIPRO!).
Once we acclimated to the late night lifestyle of Spain and the constant schedule of breakfast, touring, lunch and tapas, touring, wine and tapas, siesta, cocktails, dinner at 11.pm. more cocktails, drink and repeat, we began to enjoy the Spanish version of the cafe lifestyle. A highlight of our exploration was a small restaurant near the university area called Origin 99.9%. This unassuming cafe and gourmet shop met the first requirement of the day-no American tourists. We sat next to young families and three delightful woman in their late seventies having either a beer, a glass of wine or Campari in the middle of the sunny afternoon. A second rule of the trip was no menus with pictures, but we quickly discarded this policy when a beautifully designed menu-magazine was placed in front of us. Neither Jim nor I read Spanish much less Catalan but we were able to figure out what was going on here. All ( okay 99.9%)of the the food served was Catalan and was organic.
We were reminded how the simplest of ingredients; fresh toasted bread, rich olive oil and roasted tomatoes could be such a memorable dish. Olives, ham, sardines, Olive Oil, cheeses all from a section of Spain and brought in fresh daily. The company also works to promote the export of products from this region. Anything served on bread was magic- the simplest Coca de tomaquet i olives, was the best.
While the outdoor seating is preferred- the inside of the restaurant was charming- the front dedicated to a gastronomy shop complete with tasting area. Everything from Capers to chocolates in modern packainf and clean presentation.
As in all in Spain- wine was exceptional--most bottles were under 12 Euros. Typical wines to try are the rich red Priorat and the white staples from Torres, such as Vina Sol and the fruity and crisp Esmarelda. Cava is the sparkling wine of the region.
We were surprised to find out that this was one of three shops in Barcelona. Our traveling companions were set to meet other friends from the states at the restaurant nearest the hotel. The waiter helped them to figure out they had crossed wires and the friends were at one of the other restaurants. He called to confirm which restaurant where they were dining, and then walked my friends to the other location- lots of service for a country that doesn't encourage tipping. Franchise opportunities exist in Europe for this special concept- lets hope they make their way to the states.

USDA Secretary Announces Infrastructure Improvements for Forest System Trails
Focused work will help agency reduce a maintenance backlog and make trails safer for users
WASHINGTON, Feb. 16, 2018 – U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Sonny Perdue today announced the selection of 15 priority areas to help address the more than $300 million trail maintenance backlog on national forests and grasslands.
Focused trail work in these areas, bolstered by partners and volunteers, is expected to help address needed infrastructure work so that trails managed by USDA Forest Service can be accessed and safely enjoyed by a wide variety of trails enthusiasts. About 25 percent of agency trails fit those standards while the condition of other trails lag behind.
"Our nation's trails are a vital part of the American landscape and rural economies, and these priority areas are a major first step in USDA's on-the-ground responsibility to make trails better and safer," Secretary Perdue said. "The trail maintenance backlog was years in the making with a combination of factors contributing to the problem, including an outdated funding mechanism that routinely borrows money from programs, such as trails, to combat ongoing wildfires.
"This borrowing from within the agency interferes with other vital work, including ensuring that our more than 158,000 miles of well-loved trails provide access to public lands, do not harm natural resources, and, most importantly, provide safe passage for our users."
This year the nation celebrates the 50th anniversary of the National Trails Systems Act which established America's system of national scenic, historic, and recreation trails. A year focused on trails presents a pivotal opportunity for the Forest Service and partners to lead a shift toward a system of sustainable trails that are maintained through even broader shared stewardship.
The priority areas focus on trails that meet the requirements of the National Forest System Trails Stewardship Act of 2016(PDF, 224KB), which calls for the designation of up to 15 high priority areas where a lack of maintenance has led to reduced access to public land; increased risk of harm to natural resources; public safety hazards; impassable trails; or increased future trail maintenance costs. The act also requires the Forest Service to "significantly increase the role of volunteers and partners in trail maintenance" and to aim to double trail maintenance accomplished by volunteers and partners.
Shared stewardship to achieve on-the-ground results has long been core to Forest Service's approach to trail maintenance, as demonstrated by partner groups such as the Pacific Crest Trail Association and the Appalachian Trail Conservancy.
"Our communities, volunteers and partners know that trails play an important role in the health of local economies and of millions of people nationwide, which means the enormity of our trail maintenance backlog must be adequately addressed now," said USDA Forest Service Chief Tony Tooke. "The agency has a commitment to be a good neighbor, recognizing that people and communities rely on these trails to connect with each other and with nature."
Each year, more than 84 million people get outside to explore, exercise and play on trails across national forests and grasslands and visits to these places help to generate 143,000 jobs annually through the recreation economy and more than $9 million in visitor spending.
The 15 national trail maintenance priority areas encompass large areas of land and each have committed partners to help get the work accomplished. The areas are:

Background: photojournalism; digital media; community and political organizing
I began working with Jennifer Abod several months ago in the capacity of a "scanner" and in photograph restoration. We worked closely to scan and evaluate specific photographs out of Angela Bowen's personal collection. A number of the images required restoration because they had been bent, scratched, or wrinkled over the years. As we worked closely together I developed a deep interest in the subject: The Passionate Pursuits of Angela Bowen.
I was inspired by the dynamic life and works of Angela Bowen. A story that needs to be told! It was my privilege to assist Ms. Abod in this limited role enabling her to tell the complete story through living interviews and dated programs and photographs.

By HOWARD BERGER
SUNRISE, Fla. (Dec. 25) – Bah, humbug!
That seems to be the general reaction in emails this morning to the news Ron Wilson has finally received a contract extension as coach of the Maple Leafs. First, understand that this was in the works in the final-third of last season; only a disastrous start to the current campaign would have altered the outcome. So, nothing about this decision should catch any Leaf observer off guard. Second, Wilson doesn't deserve to be fired if Brian Burke is sticking around. The coach has been saddled with mediocre personnel for much of his tenure, and that falls on the GM. To his credit, Burke has acknowledged this on several occasions when responding to criticism of Wilson. Double-B has completely gutted the roster he inherited in November 2008 and appears to have finally assembled a team with playoff possibilities. His message to Wilson? "You and I are in this together."
For now, anyway.
Do not mourn today's decision. Given his career numbers behind the bench, Wilson is among the most accomplished in his profession. Yes, you can make a solid argument that a coach missing the playoffs for three consecutive years should be fired and it's true that no Toronto coach – prior to Wilson – has survived such a drought. But, there are two parts to making a change: a) dismissing the current man, and b) locating an improved alternative. The former is easy; the latter infinitely more challenging. At the moment – and whether or not you agree with Burke's decision – there doesn't appear to be an obvious replacement for Wilson. Though Marlies' coach Dallas Eakins in clearly the flavour-of-the-month – and would seem to be on the rise as a candidate to coach in the NHL – he trails Wilson by 637 career wins. It wouldn't be a fair or equitable switch at this point.
Keep in mind, also, that extending one's contract in professional sport is hardly a guarantee of employment. Though Wilson won't be holding any tag-days, I'd vehemently recommend that he guide the Leafs into the Stanley Cup tournament this spring. A second-half collapse that results in another playoff absence – Toronto's seventh in a row – would likely reduce today's announcement to that of a golden handshake (friends do look after one another).
Wilson's prickly demeanor always seems to be a point of contention, but it is largely irrelevant. The NHL's all-time coaching leader – Scotty Bowman – wasn't the warm-and-fuzzy type; all he did was win. Wilson and Bowman are substantially different away from cameras, microphones and note-pads. Both are friendly, engaging, and fascinating to chat with on any number of topics. Moreover, Wilson didn't adopt his temperament upon arriving in Toronto. If you don't believe me, check with colleagues in Anaheim, Washington or San Jose. In fact, Ronny was pretty much the same in his playing days. Darryl Sittler once chuckled when telling me that Wilson – while seated next to him on the bench at Maple Leaf Gardens during his first NHL game (in 1977-78) – offered advice to the revered Toronto captain. Confidence has never been an issue for ol' Ron.
The overriding puzzlement – and trend – during Wilson's tenure behind the Leafs bench is lousy penalty killing. That alone shouldn't prompt a coaching change, but neither has anyone come up with a reasonable theory as to why it's been so uniformly bad. If it doesn't improve in the latter half of the schedule, the Leafs will be life-and-death for a playoff spot – hardly a comfortable circumstance for the coach, extension or no extension.
In the meantime, let's get into the holiday spirit. Wilson and I have one thing in common: we both know what it feels like to lose a job. Ron has generally earned his keep behind the bench in the NHL and no one should begrudge another person for bettering himself. Perhaps Brian Burke has prolonged the tenure of a coach that ultimately solves the Leafs interminable championship drought.
Only time will tell.

Register means using the right word in the right context. For formal essay writing, you must use a formal register. This means you should not use informal language.
You should not use:
- informal vocabulary: kids; ok; bucks; heaps. You should use a more formal equivalent instead: children; all right or acceptable; money; many or a great deal.
- symbols on their own in place of words: %; $; &; @. You should write the words in full: percent; money; and; at.
Note that % and $ should only be used with numerals. For smaller amounts we write $50 (not 50 dollars) and 75% (not 75 percent). The noun form of percent is percentage.
abbreviations: m; yrs; kgs; no. You should write these words in full: million; years; kilos/kilograms; number.
all capital letters: NOWADAYS PEOPLE THINK THAT ... You should use capital letters only when appropriate: Nowadays people think that...

In the Saturday February 21 edition of the WSJ, there was an essay by Nicholas Eberstadt entitled "The Global Flight from the Family". In it, he describes the increasing numbers of single mothers in this country, but also the same phenomena on a global basis. But he adds further depth to this observation, by pointing out the ever-growing proportion of people living alone, and the ever increasing number of childless couples. His essay is a long and complex study and should be read. Here, I want to focus on one derivative observation that he makes.
"Our world-wide flight from family constitutes a significant international victory for self-actualization over self-sacrifice and might even be said to mark a new chapter in humanity's conscious pursuit of happiness." Are self-actualization and self-sacrifice inevitable poles of the same continuum? Is Authenticity achievable only in solitude?
I deal with this question in my book."see my book"
It is a troubling question. Is this global drift toward solitude the inevitable solution to the search and discovery of one's true self? Is the classic image of sitting alone in a vast forest, or sailing alone on a vast ocean, or climbing alone to a mountain top, or living alone in small room in the wilderness the only true way to find one's self?
My answer would be that there are various forms of authenticity. My authenticity is not yours. I believe my book is a handbook for a process that can be used to assess one's own current authenticity, and methods to correct any shortcomings. One's personal authenticity can be found alone, or in a profound relationship with another, or inside a family unit. If you are in one of these three places and have found happiness, then you are authentic. But if you find yourself unfulfilled, one needs to explore what other composition will more authentically fulfill you. Sounds simple, but there are myriad social impediments to this search that will fetter your steps.
The search for self-truth and validation has been around for centuries. It is a worthy search. See my book and the early chapters on the history of self. Mr. Eberstadt's research is a troubling observation. It probably has multiple causes, but the search for Self is clearly one of them. These thoughts only deepen the issues we examine here. I welcome your intelligent commentary.

Am I better for the change? Yes, I am. My next change will occur soon. It could be more than my career. It may encompass letting go of some people as well. Am I prepared ?
