Contributing to the shortage are so many residents either wishing to age in place, often with the help of a home care giver from one of the fine elder care companies such as Home Instead Senior Care or because of the dramatic lack of senior housing properties. Contracts are being written with even more attractive terms for the seller such as the buyer waiving the appraisal, agreeing to no home or radon inspections, and offering free rent backs to the Seller until a convenient move out can be arranged. Real Estate agents and their clients have to be very creative in struc- turing offers in order to stand out over the competition. Expe- rienced agents are key along with quality marketing!

  • Cross-Cultural and Experiential Learning in El Salvador for Extension Specialists: Lessons Learned in the Field Nadia E
    Proceedings of the 14th Annual Conference Latinos in the Heartland: Shaping the Future: Leadership for Inclusive Communities A multistate conference about integration of immigrants June 10-12, 2015 in Kansas City, Missouri www.cambio.missouri.edu/Library/ Cross-Cultural and Experiential Learning in El Salvador for Extension Specialists: Lessons Learned in the Field Nadia E. Navarrete-Tindall*, W. Sue Bartelette*, and Casi Lock** Lincoln University of Missouri Cooperative Extension, Native Plants Program* Independent Consultant** Abstract A delegation from Lincoln University (LU) Cooperative Extension of Missouri partic- ipated in a 12-day exchange program that included visits to communities and institutions in Central and Western El Salvador. The delegation included LU Native Plants Program (LU-NPP) staff and members of four communities in Missouri. The objectives were: 1. For the LU delega- tion to be immersed in the Salvadoran culture and learn how communities protect their resources and use native plants in their daily lives; 2. To exchange lessons learned between the LU-NPP, Salvadoran educators, producers, farmers, and communities; and 3. Identify organizations or agencies interested in forming alliances with the LU-NPP. Joint collaborative efforts between LU and organizations in El Salvador will help empower small farmers and will further advance agricultural and ecological education for low-income students in El Salvador and in Missouri. During site visits, local leaders from different agencies and community organizations and the LU delegation engaged in conversations to learn from each other’s experiences. Salva- doran specialists were surprised to learn that Lincoln University also works with low-income communities and that farms in Missouri do not only grow cash crops.

  • How to Get Locally-Grown Fresh Produce Into the Boston Food System
    How to Get Fresh Produce into the Boston Food System: Example of East Boston and Chipilín Frank Mangan, Maria Moreia, Zoraia Barros, Celina Fernandes, Renato Mateus, and Molly Anderson Dept. Plant, Soil & Insect Sciences, French Hall. University of Massachusetts, Amherst MA 01003. [email protected] Boston is the largest city in New England and Greater Boston is the tenth largest metropolitan area in the country. This represents a lot of “eaters”, more of whom are interested in local sources of fresh produce. An understanding of the Boston food system is essential in order to be successful in providing these eaters with culturally appropriate local fresh produce. An important component of this food system is the growing immigrant population in Boston; for the first time in its history Caucasians of European decent are a minority. Boston is a city of neighborhoods, with many representing different ethnicities that have their own cuisine and culture, which strongly influence the types of fresh produce they prefer. Retail vs. Wholesale. Retail sales of fresh produce among farmers in Massachusetts has increased significantly in recent years; retail sales are estimated to be much higher than wholesale sales among growers of fresh fruits and vegetables in Massachusetts. That being said; retails sales of Massachusetts grown fresh fruits and vegetables represent a very small percentage of total sales of fresh produce in Massachusetts, even during the growing season. Retail options: Farmers’ markets: There were 197 farmers’ markets in Massachusetts in 2009 and 24 in Boston proper. This is an excellent opportunity to bring fresh produce into Boston.

  • Singer Is Bigger and Better Than Ever.‖ Hollywood's Sexiest Shirtless M
    ―From the looks of it, the "Whatcha Say" singer is bigger and better than ever.‖ Hollywood’s Sexiest Shirtless Men Who wouldn't want to marry these abs?!‖ ―With all due respect to Jason Derulo‘s singing, the first thing you think when you see one of his videos is ―Dude can dance.‖ The barrage of fluid contortions, twists, and gravity-defying acrobatics will have you wondering: Wait, did he really do that? But there‘s no CGI involved—only sweat equity.‖ ―Five months ago, Jason broke his neck, putting his entire career in jeopardy. No one knew if he‘d be able to get back on top. Now, he‘s proving everyone wrong.‖ ―R&B star Jason Derulo has smooth moves, both vocally and on the dance floor‖ The couple that is after our own hearts are Jordin Sparks and Jason Derulo. If it isn‘t cute enough that their names both start with ―J‖, they are two gorgeous and talented people who happen to be in love…Jordin and Jason are great role models and an example of what love looks like, especially for our young lovers. Miami pop-R&B star Jason Derulo may compare past loves to regrettable tattoos on his new EP, but these five songs emphasize how he relishes in starting anew. While his past efforts (2010′s self-titled album and 2011′s Future History) shifted slyly from bubbly pop to polished rock and electrifying dance, the surprising Tattoos (out today, September 24) veers from one hormonal extreme to another. Tattoos feels either bold or heavy-handed, but it still builds anticipation, as an EP should…In Tattoos, it‘s hard to mistake new prospects for what he knows best.
