  There was a time when most food was local, whether you lived on a farm or bought your food at a farmers market in the city. Exotic foods like olives, spices, and chocolate shipped in from other parts of the world were considered luxuries. Now, most food that Americans eat is shipped from somewhere else, and eating local is considered by some to be a luxury. Renee Brooks Catacalos is here to remind us that eating local is easier―and more rewarding―than we may think. There is an abundance of food all around us, found across the acres and acres of fields and pastures, orchards and forests, mile upon winding mile of rivers and streams, ocean coastline, and the amazing Chesapeake Bay. In The Chesapeake Table: Your Guide to Eating Local, Catacalos examines the powerful effect of eating local in Maryland, Virginia, and Washington, DC. Hooked on the local food movement from its early days, Catacalos began her local food journey with a personal challenge to only buy, prepare, and eat food grown within a 150-mile radius of her home near Washington, DC. From her in-depth, on-the-ground study of food systems in the region, Catacalos offers practical advice for adopting a locavore diet and getting involved in various entry points to food pathways, from shopping at your local farmers market to buying a community-supported agriculture share. She also includes recipes for those curious about how they can make their own more environmentally conscious food choices. Introducing readers to the vast edible resources of the Chesapeake region, Catacalos focuses on the challenges of environmental and economic sustainability, equity and diversity in the farming and food professions, and access and inclusion for local consumers of all income levels, ethnicities, and geographies. Touching on everything from farm-based breweries and distilleries to urban hoop house farms to grass-fed beef, The Chesapeake Table celebrates the people working hard to put great local food on our plates.

  Are you going to start attending college soon? Are you troubled over the costs of your education? Well, you are definitely not the only one. As the cost of education has been on the rise in recent years, there are many people who are also stuck in the same predicament. However, you should know that there is an alternative to struggling with college tuition fees. Student loans can be taken to fill in the gaps between what the parents can afford and how much the course requires. As such, student loans can vary in size, with students choosing from partial or full loans. By borrowing the money needed for books and tuition fees, everyone, regardless of whether they are well off or poor, will be able to have a chance to learn and make it big in life. After all, education is the key to success. 
  With student loans, you will be able to concentrate on school and learning all you can, instead of juggling between part-time jobs and college so as to pay for college fees. This is possible because unlike other typical loans, you do not have to make repayments until you have completed your education. 
  While some may consider student loans simply because they do not have the financial means to attend college, others may choose these loans so that they can be independent. This will allow young adults to pay for their own education instead of relying on their parents. 
  If you are considering student loans, then it is important for you to learn more about how it works and the different types of loans that are available. It is also extremely important for you to think about how you will be able to repay your loan once you have graduated from college. This is because failure to repay on time may turn your student loan into a bad debt. As such, to prevent such situations, here are some tips to help you with your student loan.
