These works of new technology are now available at the Allen County Public Library. “Gemini: Stepping Stone to the Moon, the Untold Story” by Jeffrey Kluger Kluger offers a gripping, cinematic account of the perilous yet pioneering Gemini program, which — amid political pressure, tragedy and extraordinary scientific triumphs — laid the essential groundwork that made the Apollo moon landings possible.
Enjoy Your Chocolate and Champagne While It Lasts
“I’m screwed.” That is a polite way of expressing my thoughts upon meeting the chef with whom I was supposed to prepare a banquet at the World Economic Forum. Nearly twenty-five hundred dignitaries from 140 countries had assembled in Davos, Switzerland, for the annual networking extravaganza. Their numbers included no fewer than forty heads of state. Among them: David Cameron of the UK, Justin Trudeau of Canada, and Jacob Zuma of South Africa.

The Culture Change We Need to Transform Our Food Systems
Humans are naturally drawn to neat, compelling narratives that simplify complex issues into clear-cut battles of good versus evil. It’s a storytelling instinct that helps us make sense of the world, but it also leads us to oversimplify the real problems we face. When it comes to the state of our food systems, the dominant story points the finger at big business and flawed government policies, positioning them as the evil villains who exploit consumers and degrade the planet.

Video When I was 13, and my RDA group had just told me they felt they didn’t have the expertise to help me any further, a couple of different people simultaneously recommended applying for South Bucks RDA. It was here (once they let me in, as I had to face the fierce scrutiny of Para trainer Clive Milkins to be deemed worthy of a place!) that I was introduced to Para dressage as a sport, not just as therapy.

Use this 1 surprising tool to decant wine, make eggs benedict
I cook for a living and love yard sales, so as you might expect I have a kitchen full of tools, gadgets and gizmos. But the one they will have to pry from my cold, calloused hands is my immersion blender. I first fell in love with it as a kid and junior chef wannabe, watching my Swiss aunt use her "Bamix" to whip up the most amazing salad dressing I've ever tasted. Fortunately, this magic wand eventually made its way into the American marketplace because it is so much cooler than a blender.
Farm-to-Global Table: Our Interconnected World
What should our food system look like? According to the USDA, American consumption of local foods has tripled in the past two decades and demand is predicted to be worth over $20 billion by 2019. And yet, markets continue to expand globally, connecting rural producers with urban consumers, and offering new opportunities for small scale farmers. What are the environmental repercussions of a food movement that demands diversity, sustainability, and local production?
A solution to hunger? Stop throwing dinner away: Column
Picture a field ready for harvest. Any field in the world, it doesn’t matter: an acre of cassava in Nigeria, a rice paddy in Indonesia, some amber waves of grain in the United States. Now harvest this imaginary field, and toss one third of it into the trash. Welcome to the global food supply chain of 2016, a vast system in quiet crisis which requires an emergency intervention to nourish people, preserve our planet and protect profits.

Ale to the Chief: White House Beer Recipe
Ed. Note: There's been a lot of buzz online recently about the recipe for the White House Honey Ale and White House Honey Porter, including a popular petition on We the People, the White House's online petition platform. With public excitement about White House beer fermenting such a buzz, we decided we better hop right to it. Inspired by home brewers from across the country, last year President Obama bought a home brewing kit for the kitchen.
This Is the Missing Ingredient in the Climate Change Fight
I recently returned home from Paris, where I participated in a number of events around the climate-change conference that used food to tell the story of climate change and highlight potential solutions. The city had the crazed but celebratory feeling of a wedding, with plenty of planning boiling down to a final, frantic push to cross the finish line.
Chattin' With Sam Kass - Modern Farmer
The classic white toque isn’t the only hat that Sam Kass wears around the White House. Kass, a Chicagoland native, began cooking for the Obamas when Barack was an Illinois senator, later becoming the family’s White House chef. Of course he’s also Executive Director of Michelle Obama’s Let’s Move campaign and White House Senior Policy Advisor for Nutrition. And did we mention he teaches youngsters about healthy eating, he recently got married and has even been seen out golfing with his boss?
Why 'Drink More Water'?
To be fair, Kass is a chef, not a scientist, and that was off the cuff. But if you’re a national policy advisor on nutrition, and launching a campaign whose singular objective is to tell 314 million people to drink more water, your cuff should have some data that says more water is better. We even gave them an easy out.
