In the United States, food waste is estimated at 40 percent of the food supply. Fruits and vegetables make up a large number of food waste.
At Marie Wilkinson Food Pantry, we do our best to reduce food waste by participating in food rescue.
Food Rescue is the practice of collecting edible food that would have otherwise been thrown away by grocers, restaurants and all other food establishments.
Currently, Marie Wilkinson Food Pantry rescues food from 30+ establishments within the week from stores such as Aldi, Fresh Thyme, Priscos, Jewel and more! 81% of our food that is rescued is redistributed to those in need.
When the food is no longer edible to serve to guests, local farmers come and pick up any leftovers to feed chickens and livestock. Zero waste!

Donald Trump said today that he believes Russia ordered hacks on Democrats that coincided with the presidential election.
'I think it was Russia, but I think we also get hacked by other people,' he said. 'It's not just Russia,' he argued at another point in his news Wednesday news conference.
China hacked 22 million accounts, he said, talking about the 2015 data breach at the Office of Personnel and Management.
Trump condemned the illegal acts but said emails involving Hillary Clinton's campaign that were published by Wikileaks revealed pertinent information.
He showed little remorse for the theft of data from the Democratic National Committee, which he said was 'totally open to being hacked' because 'they did a very poor job.'
The president-elect subsequently said, in response to a question about Vladimir Putin engineering the hack and leak strategy to help him, he believes the Russian leader's support for him is an 'asset.'
'But remember this, we talk about hacking, the hacking's bad, and it shouldn't be done…but look at what was learned from that hacking,' he proclaimed.
Trump said Clinton received debate questions beforehand and 'didn't report it – that's a horrible thing.'
Government hacking occurred 'because we have no defense,' he said during the Q and A session as he made reference to the OPM breach and the theft of civil servants' sensitive, personal information.
'That's because we're run by people who don't know what they're doing.'
When he's president, Trump said cyber attacks on the U.S. and its citizens will end.
Every country, he said, Russia, China, Japan, Mexico 'will respect us, far more, far more than they do under past administration,' he said, painting with a broad brush.
Trump also said he views warmer relations with Russia positively because the nation can help in the fight against ISIS.
'If Putin likes Donald Trump, I consider that an asset not a liability,' he said, speaking in the third person. 'Because we have a horrible relationship with Russia.'
Trump said he hopes to get along with Putin, 'but there's a good chance I won't.
'And if I don't, do you honestly believe that Hillary would be tougher on Putin than me? Does anybody in this room really believe that? Give me a break,' he told reporters.
Clinton has said she believes Putin personally had a hand in the cyber attacks and that he did it because he has a 'beef' with her.
While Putin was out of power, Clinton, then the former of secretary of state, presented the Russian foreign minister with a red 'reset' button as a symbolic gesture at the beginning of the Obama administration.
Trump mocked the move today, saying at his news conference, 'There's no reset button. We're either going to get along or we're not.
'I hope we get along, but if we don't, that's possible, too.'
Trump's nominee for secretary of state, Rex Tillerson, said earlier in the morning that he'd reviewed the unclassified report on the hacking and found it 'troubling.'
He said he had not seen the classified report, as he does not yet have security clearance. The one presented to the public indicated that Putin did the hacking to help Trump, he acknowledged.
Trump admitted that Putin's government ordered the hacks on the opposing political party and Clinton's campaign chairman, John Podesta, today – but he recoiled slightly at another point in his presser and said, 'Well, you know what, it could have been others, also.'
The president-elect had suggested in a previous statement that mentioned China, as well, that Russia did do the hacking after a meeting with the heads of the heads of the CIA and FBI and the director of national intelligence.
He said in the Friday statement that 'Russia, China, other countries, outside groups and people are consistently trying to break through the cyber infrastructure' the public and private sector must 'aggressively combat and stop cyberattacks.'
The president-elect said he'd ordered his administration to bring him a report within 90 days that covers all kinds of hacking and how to prevent it. 'We're hacked by everybody,' he declared today.
Talking about Russian hacking, specifically, and Putin, Trump said, 'He shouldn't be doing it. He wont be doing it. Russia will have much greater respect for our country when I'm leading it than when other people have lead it. You will see that.'

The majority of people approaching retirement age are confused about how tax works in retirement, according to new Which? research.
Tax knowledge tested
Under the new reforms, people are able to take 25% of their pension pot tax free, with the remainder taxed as income. However, our survey of 1,204 adults aged 55 or over found that:
- Six in ten (60%) people aged over 55 who aren't retired don't know the pension reforms allow you to take up to a quarter of your pot tax-free;
- One in seven (14%) wrongly think their entire pension pot is tax-free;
- Two thirds (67%) admit they have limited or no understanding of tax issues in retirement;
- Of those who are retired, only a quarter (25%) think tax has become simpler since retirement.
Lump sum tax calculator
People have saved hard throughout their lives to build up their pension pot so it's crucial they take their time to consider their choices and try to make the most of their savings. This is a difficult decision, and could unknowingly cost people thousands if they don't understand the tax implications.
Which? has launched a free online calculator to help people work out the tax they'll pay if they cash in their entire pension pot or take a lump sum. Our previous research found that if someone really did use their pension pot to buy a Lamborghini, they could end up paying enough tax to buy a Porsche.
Which? executive director, Richard Lloyd, said: 'The government's reforms offer people welcome freedom over how to use their nest egg, but could also leave many confused about their options.
'It's vital people take their time and make the changes work for them. Our free calculator will work out how much tax someone is likely to pay if they choose to withdraw a lump sum.'
Which? Better Pensions campaign
Which? recently launched a campaign for Better Pensions calling for government, pension providers and regulators to protect people when they take money out of their pension by:
- Establishing a government-backed income drawdown provider to ensure everyone can access a good value, low cost product;
- Introducing a charge cap for default drawdown products;
- Safeguarding savings in schemes that go bust.
Nearly 30,000 supporters have signed up to the campaign since it launched a month ago.
- Tax in retirement – how pension income is taxed
- What the pension changes means for you – new rules explained
- Company pensions explained – workplace schemes and benefits

It started with a call from Ben Watson http://www.chelseagreen.com/authors/ben_watson asking if i would be interested in doing a tasting/talk at Franklin County CiderDays 2014 http://www.ciderdays.org. I already knew that a week later The Festival 2014 hosted by Shelton Brothers (my USA importers) was taking place in LA http://www.sheltonbrothers.com/the-festival-tap-list/ , so that left the mid week period and it was good fortune that my longtime friends Dick and Diane Dunn asked whether i would care to visit with The Rocky Mountain Cider Association http://www.rmcider.org/Home.html . I was very pleased to be asked and even more pleased that i could say yes, thanks to everyone's generosity especially Dick and Diane, Bill Lyon http://cidersnob.tumblr.com and Ben and the CiderDays Committee Lisa, Lynn, Don et al at Franklin County Chamber of Commerce http://franklincc.org .
My other job is perfect preparation for this 10 day sprint round cider in the USA.
Franklin County Ciderdays was wonderful. So much pride in the locality for the apples, orchards and cider, both hard and sweet. Events and locations that would keep participants coming back year after year in order to enjoy everything that is on offer. To steal directly from the program here are some of the 2014 Event Highlights that i got involved in:
- 20th Anniversary Kickoff Reception — Friday evening event at The Blue Heron restaurant in Sunderland, MA, featuring select Massachusetts ciders, a selection of sweet and savory small plates from Chef Deborah Snow, and the opportunity to meet and greet cidermakers. I really enjoyed this opportunity to meet and talk with cider makers and match their ciders with superb food. I recall these but there were more!
- Artifact Cider Project, Springfield, MA www.artifactcider.com
- Bear Swamp Orchard, Ashfield, MA bearswamporchard.com
- Carr's Ciderhouse, Hadley, MA carrsciderhouse.com
- Headwater Cider Company headwatercider.com
- The Marketplace at the Shelburne Buckland Community Center in Shelburne Falls, with local artisans and producers, food vendors, and, of course, apples!
- The Cider Salon — the world's longest-running hard cider tasting with more than 65 individual cider brands from across North America and Europe in the big tent across from the Shelburne Buckland Community Center, 53 Main Street, Shelburne Falls. Two sessions — 3 to 4:30 and 5:15 to 6:45 (Saturday). This was fantastic, swamped by people tasting so many different ciders, many being poured by the cider makers themselves. I met with the emerging legend that is Andy Brennan who is Aaron Burr Cider http://www.aaronburrcider.com and i commended him on the prices he is getting for his cider in New York and i showed not a hint of jealousy ;-).
- CiderDays Locavore Harvest Supper — Chef Paul Correnty will once again mastermind a savory fall feast featuring apples, cider and other locally grown foods. Held this year in the Shelburne Buckland Community Center in Shelburne Falls.
- British Cider Tasting with Tom Oliver of Oliver's Cider and Perry, Herefordshire, England, on Sunday at the Deerfield Community Center in Historic Deerfield. I think we had fun and learnt a bit. 6 months later, we will have had 7 people who were at the talk visit our cider house in Ocle Pychard, Herefordshire, the power of cider.
- Apples to Juice to Cider tasting with Steve Woods and John Bunker on Sunday at the Deerfield Community Center in Historic Deerfield. "Taste the Apple then Taste the Cider" was a great experience for all. Can you determine from the raw apple exactly what the cider might taste like?
- Steve has passed the end of my road on many trips to Herefordshire but this was the first time we had met and i am very glad to have made the connection to the "godfather" of cider in the US. We also made a trip to Poverty Lane Orchards and Farnum Hill Cider http://www.povertylaneorchards.com which did not disappoint. It also meant i could meet with the owner of a very fine nose belonging to Nicole LeGrand Leibon some 12 years after we first met at the Slow Food Salone del Gusto http://eventistore.slowfood.it/saloneterramadre/2014/eventi/eng/SL50/the-miracle-of-apples-ciders-and-perries-of-the-world.html in Turin. (this link is 2014, we met in 2002). Much apple and pear juice has flowed through the presses since. A pleasure too to talk with Brenda, Wanda and Ryan.
- Cider and Cheese Pairing on Sunday at the Deerfield Community Center in Historic Deerfield.
- Apples for Baking: Tasting and Workshop with Rebecca Clark, Betsey Clark Dickson, and Lori Clark on Sunday at Clarkdale Fruit Farms in Deerfield. It was great to meet with Ben Clark on a number of occasions through the weekend.
- Fermentation: Basics and Beyond with Jocelyn Kuzelka of Panacea Wine Consulting, on Saturday at the Shelburne Buckland Community Center. Jocelyn will cover yeast selection, nutrients in the juice, and blending and sensory analysis. This was a chance to hear first hand information and experience from Jocelyn who has amassed a wealth of experience and put together a great presentation.
- Fruit Exploring with John Bunker and Rowan Jacobsen on Saturday at Apex Orchards, Shelburne John and Rowan made this a compelling experience and it could have gone on for a lot longer and still have only scratched the surface of what these 2 know. Rowan's book "Apple of Uncommon Character" is superb, informative and a great read. John's apple manual is a true reflection of the man himself, crammed with info.
- Ice Cider Making with Claude Jolicoeur, author of The New Cider Maker's Handbook, on Saturday at the Shelburne Buckland Community Center. Great to meet with Claude at last and i took many many notes during this presentation…..
Judith (and Terry) and Field Maloney of West County Cider kicked FCCD off some 20 years previously, the essence of what they started remains but has blossomed into an event for many, whatever your level of interest and experience. It was a pleasure to see Judith and Field again and thanks to Field for the Johnny Appleseed from Leominster shirt, that is Leominster in MA not Herefordshire.
Special thanks to Ben who kindly sorted all this and drove me around for 3 days. Needless to say we talked cider and many other topics and always, always finished the day with other cider fanatics (including the delightful Eliza "apple mad" Greenman https://www.facebook.com/elizapples?fref=ts, Jocelyn Kuzela and Rowan Jacobsen, round a table strewn with cider at The Wright House in Historic Deerfield http://www.historic-deerfield.org/discover-deerfield/historic-houses/wright-house/ . I would return in an instant.

Emily Badger
Emily Badger is a former staff writer at CityLab. Her work has previously appeared in Pacific Standard, GOOD, The Christian Science Monitor, and The New York Times. She lives in the Washington, D.C. area.
In the midst of the recession, millions of Americans began to "double up," in the language of demographers: Parents moved in with their children, recent college graduates returned home with their parents, unrelated families combined households, while single adults who might otherwise have lived on their own found a room to rent instead.
We seldom describe these people this way, but they essentially dropped out of the housing market, in precisely the same way that would-be workers who give up on finding a job "drop out" of the labor pool.
Now, six years after the recession began, many of these people have yet to re-emerge – to move out of the basement or the spare bedroom, to form their own households. And as Jed Kolko, chief economist at Trulia, pointed out in The New York Times last week, this "doubled up" population points to a key flaw in how we think about America's homeownership rate.
That figure has been declining since about 2005, and on Friday the Census Bureau confirmed that it was still languishing. At the end of 2013, the homeownership rate was 65.2 percent, down slightly from where it had been a year earlier and still down substantially from the all-time high:
That picture matters because homeownership trends are generally taken as an indicator of the health of the broader economy. But consider one of the most significant sub-groups in that doubled-up population: young adults who've been waiting to find jobs and move out of their parents homes. Most of them won't immediately become homeowners – they'll be renters. And the developers who build rental housing appear to be preparing for them in droves.
"You would never guess from the falling homeownership rate that there's right now a big boom in apartment rental construction, but there is," Kolko says by phone. "At the extreme, if all that were happening right now in the housing market were young people moving out of their parents' homes into rentals, that would clearly be good for the economy. That would stimulate a lot of apartment building construction. And there would be no change in the number of homeowners."
In fact, the homeownership rate might actually go down as a result.
That statistic specifically calculates the share of households in America that are owned. So if the number of households (the denominator) rises thanks to new renter household formation, while the number of homeowners (the numerator) stays the same, it would look as if homeownership were declining. Conversely, if every renter in America moved in with someone who owns their home, we'd have a lot fewer total households (to the chagrin of the construction industry). But we'd have a magnificent homeownership rate of 100 percent.
In the context of jobs, this is why economists – and skeptical reporters – look at the labor force participation rate. The unemployment rate in America has been declining for the last several years. But that doesn't simply mean that lots of people have found jobs. It also means that lots of people have given up on finding one (lowering the denominator of people who are working now or looking for work).
Declining unemployment can be deceptive, as can declining homeownership. We don't typically bring this same skepticism, though, to homeownership statistics. But, as Kolko points out, there is a way to do this. We can look at a more obscure statistic called the "headship rate," which reflects the share of all people who head a household. As more people double up, the headship rate goes down. As more twenty-somethings move out of their parents' homes and into their own one-bedrooms and studios, the headship rate will go up.
If you work in the housing construction industry, this is the number you care about. When the headship rate goes up, that stimulates demand for new housing. And that can happen even as the homeownership rate goes down.
The government doesn't currently produce a single, official headship statistic in the same way it does with labor force participation (the number looks a little different depending on which Census data you rely on to produce it). But the government probably should, because this one data point has value for two big reasons: It gives us a fuller picture of what's going on with homeowners. And it tells us something about the health of the housing market without implying that everyone should aspire to own a home.
If you're agnostic on this point – if you think we should stop behaving in America as if homeownership were the ultimate sign of personal financial responsibility – then the headship rate recognizes that renters are a crucial part of the picture, too. A housing recovery will be good for the economy. But that's not because more people will own homes; it's because we'll need to build more homes, regardless of whether the people living inside own them or not.

Because of coronavirus, millions of tenants won't be able to write rent checks. But calls for a rent holiday often ignore the longer-term economic effects.
To help flatten the curve in the Covid-19 outbreak, officials at all levels of government are asking people to stay home. Here's what's worked, and what hasn't.
Some renters and homeowners are getting financial assistance during the economic disruption from the coronavirus pandemic. What about landlords?
We must prepare for a protracted battle with coronavirus. But there are changes we can make now to prepare locked-down cities for what's next.
Access to parks, nature, and wildlife is critical for physical and emotional well-being. Now some city dwellers sheltered at home must find it in new ways.

Bloch Party
This seems to be the month for trendy dieting. Everyday I try to go gluten free, and everyday I fail. It's not the end of the world! If I have to fail at something, I'm glad it's that. There's always tomorrow!
Speaking of tomorrow (Sunday 3/23), La Dee Da is playing at Bissap Baobob in the Mission district of SF at 7pm. It's a free show! Rumor has it Bogart the First will make an appearance. Omg!
The next Classical Revolution Oakland show at Awaken Cafe is Wednesday, 3/26 from 7-10pm. This month will be badass! Jory Fankuchen is playing the solo violin part for Baal Shem by Ernest Bloch, and he is sounding great. The music is like Debussy goes to Temple. Trio Kata-Vento will also play some Latin-ified Stravinsky, among other flutey things, and the Town Quartet will play Ginastera's first string quartet. Also, birds are chirping about a Mozart organ fantasy arrangement by Moses Lei. Obscure, but cool!
Sunday 3/23 La Dee Da at Bissap Baobob. 2319 Mission St, San Francisco, CA 94110. 7pm, free!
Wednesday 3/26 Classical Revolution Oakland at Awaken Cafe. 1429 Broadway, Oakland, CA 94612. 7-10pm, $5-$20 donation.

The world of a landlord isn't as simple as it is often made out to be on TV and in pop culture – especially when it comes to being a landlord in NYC. When it comes to life as a landlord, there is a lot more to it than just collecting rent checks from tenants. In fact, a quality landlord is one who has a strong awareness of the principles of landlord-tenant law or someone who utilizes the services of a landlord-tenant lawyer, like Queens attorney Mr. Ryan J. Walsh, Esq. In addition, a successful landlord is one who knows how to sell and negotiate and broker deals with people of differing backgrounds and personalities, and someone who can solve problems fast and efficiently and without causing too much of a commotion. So before you decide to use that extra savings on getting a rental property of your own, here are 3 important things for every landlord to consider the job.
· Being a Landlord is a 24-7 Job or It Can Be
The thing about being a landlord, whether you work for yourself or for a real estate company or the building itself, is that problems and issues can arise at any moment of the day. And in order to be a successful landlord, you must be ready to handle any issues that may arise at any time of the day. Sure, most days will likely go off without a hitch, but there are a ton of obligations you will have as a landlord, and other days can have you doing everything from plunging toilets to meeting with your landlord-tenant lawyer to go over an eviction. Think of all the problems you might have in your home, and now multiply those issues with the number of tenants you have.
· Landlord is a Do Everything Kinda Job
The thing about being a landlord is that its kind of the worst job description as it involves so much, it is almost impossible to encompass everything you may be asked to do in even the course of a few weeks. While these responsibilities can change based on what the specific scenario is with you being a landlord, and what kind of landlord. On any given day you can be a real estate agent, salesman, police officer, mediator, dog catcher, debt collector, handyman, and much more. Depending on the situation you might be in, however, it is possible to delegate these tasks to others like a building handyman, a realtor, and a landlord-tenant lawyer.
· Rules & Guidelines
The thing about pop culture and TV shows is that they sometimes show the life of a landlord as one of lawlessness and doing whatever you want – evicting people when you want, raising the rent at your leisure. This could not be farther from the truth, the fact is that most every landlord in the US, especially in NYC must follow a number of different rules and laws designed to protect both landlords and tenants alike. This is another reason why it's important to have the guidance of a landlord-tenant lawyer like Queen's attorney, Ryan J. Walsh. They will guide you on certain laws like:
o Fair Housing Laws
o Housing Safety Codes
o Landlord Tenant Rights
o Eviction Rights
o Security Deposits
The life of a landlord is very rewarding and when you are the real estate investor and property owner, it can be tremendously rewarding financially, as well. For more information on what it takes to be a landlord or landlord-tenant rights, contact Queens attorney, Ryan J. Walsh, Esq. today.
