Cover crops play a critical role in building healthy, resilient soils in vineyards and agricultural systems. Sarah Light, Agronomy Farm Advisor with UC Cooperative Extension, shares how cover crops protect soil from wind and heavy rain, improve water infiltration, and increase on-farm biodiversity. She introduces a newly released cover crop selector tool developed for Western growing regions, with guidance on species selection, termination practices, and grower goals such as reducing compaction, fixing nitrogen, and supporting pollinators. This practical resource helps growers choose the best cover crops for their location, crops, and management objectives.  Resources:   151: The Role of the Soil Microbiome in Soil Health  159: Under-Vine Vegetation to Control Vine Vigor 298: How Cover Crops Shape Grapevine Root Systems Cooperative Extension, Sutter-Yuba Counties Cover Crop Decision Tool Cover Cropping in California's Water Scarce Environment Cover Crop Resources Sarah Light's Research  New tool helps farmers select cover crops UC Ag Experts Talk: Considerations for Cover Crops and Weed Management (video)  Support the Podcast:  Make a Donation  Vineyard Team Programs:  Juan Nevarez Memorial Scholarship - Help students from vineyard families pursue higher education Online Courses - Earn DPR and CCA hours with expert-led sustainability trainings SIP Certified - A trusted third-party certification proving your sustainable practices with science-backed standards Sustainable Ag Expo - Join top experts at the premier winegrowing event of the year Vineyard Team Membership - Connect with a community advancing sustainable winegrowing

En Côte d'Ivoire, la campagne de commercialisation de l'anacarde a été lancée le 7 février 2026 à Yamoussoukro. Le prix bord champ a été fixé à 400 FCFA/kg. C'est un prix en baisse, mais les acteurs du secteur restent optimistes et continuent de miser sur la transformation locale. De notre correspondante à Abidjan, Le prix de cette campagne tient compte de la baisse du dollar. Pour autant, à peine 15 % des noix brutes d'anacardes produites en Côte d'Ivoire sont destinées aux États-Unis. Concernant l'exportation, Abidjan mise plutôt sur les pays asiatiques, notamment le Vietnam qui absorbe 80 % de ses noix brutes. Là-bas, les noix ivoiriennes s'échangent à 1470 $/tonne. D'où cette relative sérénité affichée par le Conseil Coton Anacarde. Le Conseil table cette année sur une production toujours aussi élevée : elle est estimée à 1 500 000 tonnes, dont près de 700 000 qui devraient être transformées par les usines locales. Certains producteurs estiment que les rendements devraient baisser par rapport à l'année dernière. Ce phénomène serait lié au climat et à l'impact de la présence de ravageurs. À lire aussiCôte d'Ivoire: la filière de la noix de cajou, exemple de coopération entre Européens et Africains Favoriser les transformateurs locaux Cette campagne devrait permettre de constater les efforts fournis pour développer une industrie locale. Ces dernières années, le gouvernement a mis en place une série de mesures pour favoriser les transformateurs locaux. Ainsi, pendant cinq semaines, seules les usiniers ivoiriens peuvent acheter les noix brutes. Mais en pratique, on constate un décalage, lié notamment à des lenteurs dans la délivrance des contrats d'achat. Résultat : les premiers achats ont dû attendre la semaine du 16 février 2025 pour être effectifs. « De plus, on constate un retard de production, précise un transformateur. La fenêtre actuelle d'achat [qui s'achève le 15 mars] nous semble donc insuffisante. » Lutte contre la fuite des produits agricoles Autre défi pour la filière : la fuite des produits agricoles vers les pays voisins. Sur ce point, le Conseil Coton Anacarde relativise et estime que la situation est mieux maîtrisée, grâce notamment à un renforcement des contrôles et à la judiciarisation des cas de contrebande. « Il y a trois ans, on perdait près de 200 000 tonnes de production, affirme Mamadou Berthé, le président du CCA. Aujourd'hui, on arrive à les avoir en Côte d'Ivoire ». À lire aussiCôte d'Ivoire: le prix du kilo de noix de cajou en légère baisse pour la campagne de commercialisation 2026

Jennifer Champoux is a teacher, scholar of Latter-day Saint visual art, and the director of the Book of Mormon Art Catalog. She authored C. C. A. Christensen: A Mormon Visionary, coauthored Picturing Christ: Understanding Depictions of Jesus in History and Art, and coedited Approaching the Tree: Interpreting 1 Nephi 8. She hosted the limited-series podcasts Latter-day Saint Art and Behold: Conversations on Book of Mormon Art. Jenny earned a BA in international politics from Brigham Young University (2004) and an MA in art history from Boston University (2006). She lives in Colorado with her husband and three children. C. C. A. Christensen: A Mormon Visionary (University of Illinois Press; Amazon) Related work I've published: “‘In Their Promised Canaan Stand:' Outlawry, Landscape, and Memory in C. C. A. Christensen's Mormon Panorama,” BYU Studies Quarterly 60, no. 2 (2021). Highlights about C. C. A. Christensen: 1. C. C. A. Christensen was born to a poor family in Copenhagen, Denmark, in 1831. As a youth, he lived and studied at a poor house boarding school, before taking classes at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts. 2. While he was an art student, the first Latter-day Saint missionaries arrived in Copenhagen. C. C. A. joined the Church in 1850. He threw himself into the work of learning the Gospel, reading the Book of Mormon, helping with Danish translations of hymns, helping his mother and brothers immigrate to Utah, and then serving a mission in Scandinavia before immigrating himself. His art training and career took a back seat to his religious commitments. 3. C. C. A. served three missions in Scandinavia. The first, in Norway, was from 1853 to 1857. He faced religious persecution and was jailed. Christensen returned from Utah to serve a second mission in Scandinavia from 1865 to 1868. He returned again to serve in Denmark from 1887 to 1889. 4. C. C. A. married Elise Haarby on the ship as they set off for Utah in 1857. They traveled across the plains as handcart pioneers. He later took a second wife, Maren Pettersen, in 1868. He had a total of 14 children, 12 of which lived to adulthood. 5. C. C. A. was the most prolific 19 th -century artist of Latter-day Saint history and scripture. He combined his European art training with Latter-day Saint beliefs and subjects. He also wrote extensively. He published poetry, essays, and letters to the editor. He helped write a history of the Scandinavian Mission. And yet, his work is not well known today. 6. The Mormon Panorama was a massive painted scroll detailing 23 scenes of early Mormon history. In the last quarter of the 19 th century, CCA and some of his family traveled around Utah cities in the winters giving presentations of the Mormon Panorama. It helped solidify the Saints' understanding of their history. 7. In 1886, Church leaders hired CCA to paint the creation room mural in the Manti Temple. It was recently restored and is still there today. 8. In 1890, C. C. A. won a contest to illustrate a Church flipchart on the life of Nephi. These 10 images were distributed by the Deseret Sunday School Union. 9. Christensen was fully dedicated to living his beliefs, often at great personal cost. The post C. C. A. Christensen with Jenny Champoux appeared first on The Cultural Hall Podcast.

Rising electricity rates across the country are adding pressure to families and businesses already dealing with inflation in other aspects of their lives. Most Americans get their power from a utility that needs to turn a profit for its investors. And people are fed up with the status quo. “Across the country, the utilities have just gotten greedy and are asking for more than they need,” says Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes.  Some communities are considering cutting out the profit motive for utilities, taking on the complicated and expensive prospect of moving to public power. But switching from an investor-owned utility to public power is an uphill battle. What are other strategies for reining in corporate greed and making electricity more affordable?

Washington state residents are feeling the pinch at the pump as gas prices skyrocket, reaching the second-highest in the nation at an average of $4.23 per gallon. This surge, a 40-cent increase in just one month, is largely attributed to the state's gas tax and Climate Commitment Act (CCA), which adds approximately 40-50 cents per gallon. Critics, including KIRO host Gee Scott, point out that working families are disproportionately affected, facing tough choices between essential trips and getting to work. Despite billions raised by the CCA since 2021, the state has yet to provide concrete data on its environmental impact, raising concerns about transparency and the true cost of these climate policies. Former Governor Jay Inslee's promise of 'pennies' is now a distant memory as Washington drivers face some of the highest gas prices in the country.

Send us a text if you want to be on the Podcast & explain why!Want a stronger bench without the burnout cycle of “max out Mondays”? We dive into the real drivers of pressing strength—scapular mechanics, intelligent frequency, and targeted accessories—then map them onto five influential programs lifters actually use: Sheiko, Smolov Jr, Westside Conjugate, Wendler's 5/3/1, and the Bulgarian-style daily max approach. Along the way, we explain how to spot and fix sticking points at the chest, midrange, and lockout, and why bar path, elbow angle, foot pressure, and a controlled thoracic arch can add pounds fast without beating up your shoulders.I walk through a practical hybrid template I use with clients chasing 225, 275, or 315: straight-set specificity for bench, CCA blocks to round out pressing angles and back strength, and a weekly wave of heavy work, volume, and speed. We cover warm-up that actually potentiates—foam roller push-ups, cuff activation, med-ball slams—plus reps in reserve, rest intervals that respect the ATP-PC system, and how to use heavy eccentrics, pauses, boards, and pins to train your nervous system above goal weight. You'll hear clear cues for breathing and bracing, how to line up on the bench, and why a slight arch is a tool, not a sin.This conversation is built for coaches and serious lifters who want outcomes, not fluff. You'll get actionable progression ideas, a retesting timeline that protects momentum, and a simple method to choose accessories by reviewing video and training the exact range where your lift slows. We also talk shop about creating a PR culture in your gym—monthly focus lifts, leaderboards, and community Saturdays—so clients stay engaged and keep showing up.If this helped you plan your next training block, tap follow, share it with a training partner, and leave a quick review.

Send us a text if you want to be on the Podcast & explain why!Shoulder pain doesn't have to sideline smart training. We walk you through a clean, confidence-building process for working with a 50-year-old client who wants a full-body session with an upper-body focus, starting with a conversation that actually matters: what success looks like today and in six months. From there, we blend a tight shoulder screen with targeted soft tissue and a practical strength plan that respects biology and builds belief.You'll hear exactly how we ask about pain—acute or chronic, what flares it, what calms it—and then run quick checks: humeral flexion to the wall, cross-body reach, hand-behind-back lift-off, and a gentle scaption break test. When red flags are clear, we use focused holds on upper traps, pec minor, and infraspinatus, retesting immediately so the client feels a real change. That opens the door to a shoulder-friendly program: incline dumbbell pressing for range and comfort, face pulls for scapular control, and planks to connect trunk and shoulder. We balance it with pronated dumbbell rows, smart push-up progressions to restore scap motion, and accessories like lateral raises that won't rob your main lifts of tension.To tie it together, we lean on the CCA framework—core pattern, core pattern, accessory—cycling through three rounds of eight to twelve reps, adjusting loads for training age. We finish with landmine work: squats for lower-body integration, a reachy landmine press for shoulder mechanics, and anti-rotation to lock in control. Throughout, we model trainer engagement that goes beyond an iPad: tactile cues, spotting with intent, and coaching presence that justifies the investment.Finally, we share a straightforward way to sell without the salesy vibe: recap wins, offer two clear package options, and handle objections with calm questions—not pressure. Not ready to commit? Keep the relationship alive with useful resources, check-ins, and a comped follow-up tied to a review or referral. If this approach helps you or your clients move better and feel stronger, subscribe, leave a review, and share this episode with a coach who could use a sharper shoulder plan.Want to become a SUCCESSFUL personal trainer?

I hope you're ready for the WEALTH of information Alex is sharing. On this episode of the Build Your Copywriting Business podcast, we are beyond lucky that CCA student, former account manager, and current copywriting dynamo Alex is sharing her wisdom from BOTH sides of the agency aisle. On the account side, Alex managed timelines, scopes, and client relationships.  And, lucky us, she's sharing pro tips for how you can better manage your own timelines, scopes, and relationships to wow clients (and keep your sanity!). As someone who was on one career trajectory for well over a decade, Alex is also sharing what it was like to make a major career pivot into copywriting and how she did it. And, yes, she got to see copy for one of her projects in the bright lights of Times Square.

In this episode of Sorting Pen, we're sorting through CCA's early 2026 legislative efforts as lawmakers return to Sacramento for the second year of a two-year session. CCA's Vice President of Government Affairs Kirk Wilbur joins to talk about what CCA is watching early on, and whether the lack of major new threats so far is encouraging—or just the calm before the storm. We also dive into CCA's request for funding for the California Department of Fish and Wildlife's Wolf Program, Kirk's upcoming opportunity to testify on human-wildlife coexistence, and more.Text us your comments, feedback and episode ideas!

California College of the Arts' announcement last week that it would close by the end of the next academic year stunned many in the Bay Area arts community. Nashville-based Vanderbilt University plans to open a satellite location in CCA's San Francisco campus and also bought a shuttered site in Oakland. We dig into the deal and talk about what the demise of the 120 year-old CCA and expansion of a new university means for the Bay Area,  arts in our region, and higher education overall. Guests: Laura Waxmann, reporter, San Francisco Chronicle Sarah Hotchkiss, senior associate editor, KQED Arts and Culture Jeff Selingo, author, "Who Gets In & Why: A Year Inside College Admissions," "There is Life After College" and "College (Un)Bound: The Future of Higher Education and What It Means for Students" Learn more about your ad choices.

Episode Summary: One of the most cutting-edge topics in combat airpower is collaborative mission autonomy. This is the technology that teams a crewed aircraft, like an F-35 or B-21, with an uncrewed aircraft, like a CCA. Collaboration promises to unlock greater mission effects than what either plane could realize on its own. Heather Penney explores this with Steve Fino and Ryan Bunge from Collins Aerospace.

Nick & Dan explain Canada's Principal Residence Exemption (PRE) and Section 45(2) elections, focusing on how to protect tax-free capital gains when buying a second property. The discussion covers how capital gains work in Canada (50% inclusion rate), the PRE's tax-free benefit, and the critical Section 45(2) election that allows homeowners to continue claiming their former home as a principal residence for up to 4 years after converting it to a rental. One exemption at a time: You can only designate one property per year as your principal residence, but buying a second property doesn't immediately eliminate the exemption on your first home Section 45(2) election protects you: When converting your home to a rental, this election prevents a deemed disposition and lets you continue claiming it as your principal residence for up to 4 more years—but you must not claim depreciation (CCA) on the property Change-of-use creates tax exposure: Without the Section 45(2) election, moving out and renting your home triggers a deemed disposition at fair market value, potentially creating a taxable capital gain even though you haven't actually sold Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) | BMO Global Asset Management LISTEN AD FREE Realist.caSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Are you a “jump and the net will appear” kind of person, {{ subscriber.first_name }}? Personally, I like to have some sort of net. But, as this this week's guest on the Build Your Copywriting Business podcast taught me, you can get creative with that net. CCA student and copywriter extraordinaire Daniel is sharing how five days after he quit his sales job, he moved to Thailand.  I know, you're like, “But Nicki, you said he had a net.” 

Frank Chiera, SVP of marketing and advertising with CCA Global, and Kemp Harr discuss recent homeowner research indicating pent up demand for flooring and other marketing initiatives for CCA in 2026. Listen to the interview, taped at the group's winter meeting in Denver, for more information.

To open the first episode of 2026, host Katie Roberti is joined by CCA President Rick Roberti for a conversation on the ongoing gray wolf crisis, thoughts on his final year as president, and what lies ahead for CCA. Together, they also take time to honor and remember the leadership and lasting legacy of Congressman Doug LaMalfa.Text us your comments, feedback and episode ideas!

Send us a text if you want to be on the Podcast & explain why!Ever walked a deconditioned client into a tough first circuit and watched the color drain from their face? We've been there. Today we break down a real program submission for a six foot one, 220-pound beginner who hasn't trained since high school and show how to turn day one into a durable win, not a cautionary tale.We start by reframing the goal of a first session: assessment in motion, not annihilation. Instead of opening with a heavy lower-body CCA, we pivot to a CA that tests capacity—think goblet squats paired with dead bugs or bird dogs—then build carefully. You'll hear why landmine RDLs teach the hinge faster than kettlebell RDLs for novices, how band-assisted push-ups outshine unstable TRX pressing for comfort and buy-in, and when to delay rotation until trunk control is ready. We also cover step-ups in the sagittal plane as a smart “cardio by stealth” leg choice, plus client-led accessories that make the work feel personal: curls for arms, simple ab sets for a clean burn, and a split-stance shoulder press for stability and novelty.Coaching craft lives in details: set clear expectations, read breathing and color changes, and be prepared to pivot without losing momentum. We share safety guardrails for dizziness and hypoglycemia, the “final destination” checklist every trainer should know, and the rule that every exercise you prescribe is one you've practiced at least ten times. Then we map simple, sticky progressions across the next sessions—same patterns, a touch more load, small tweaks in range or stability—so neural gains translate into confidence and renewals. You'll leave with a blueprint for session flow, finisher options that don't fry form, and rapport habits that turn one workout into a training relationship.Ready to design smarter programs that clients love and stick to?

Ever feel like quitting? Well, Jade did quit the Comprehensive Copywriting Academy. For like, years. But on this episode of the Build Your Copywriting Business podcast, she's sharing the far juicier part of the story: what she did differently when she came back to the CCA. Because it's what she did differently that ultimately led her to a full-time copywriting job she loves. I am SO appreciative that Jade was willing to share her story. Because I think we've ALL been there. That moment when we're like “nope, no thanks!” But then, once we get honest with ourselves, we realize maybe we do want to chase our dreams—even if it's uncomfortable. Even if we feel like imposters. If you've been looking for a reason to recommit to your dreams, whatever they are, then I promise Jade's story will help inspire that recommitment. ------------------------- Mentioned in the Episode Jade WebsiteIllinois Chapter of the National School PR Association.

Send us a text if you want to be on the Podcast & explain why!Ready to stop spinning your wheels and start training like your results matter? We take a classic bro split from a young lifter who wants bigger arms and less fat, then rebuild it into a focused, tension-first plan that actually moves the needle. The fix isn't more fluff—it's better sequencing, smarter volume, and a weekly structure that balances heavy work with strategic accessories.We start by clearing the biggest bottleneck: too much isolation too early. Compounds go first to drive strength and mechanical tension; isolation slides to the end where it belongs. Using a simple CCA pattern—compound, compound, accessory—we stack pressing and rowing for output and then add targeted raises, curls, and triceps work that won't blunt your main lifts. Along the way, we address common pitfalls like fragile low backs during bent-over rows, shoulder irritation on fixed-path incline pressing, and calf training that never progresses beyond 3x10.Progression gets an upgrade with daily undulating periodization. One day leans heavy in the 5–8 rep zone, the next expands to 8–12 or 10–15 for volume and skill. We outline weekly set targets, show how to nudge volume 10–20 percent without tipping into junk fatigue, and explain why tension is the north star while stress and damage remain useful indicators. You'll also hear how to use short, brutal finishers—push-ups, pull-ups, walking lunges—to add conditioning, and how interval runs beat endless steady-state when the goal is fat loss with muscle retention.By the end, you'll know how to structure a chest-forward day, a back-dominant day, and an optional leg or accessory day that respects recovery and keeps elbows and shoulders happy. You'll leave with a plan to grow faster, get stronger, and ditch random workouts for training with a purpose. If this helps, follow the show, share it with a training partner, and drop a review telling us which lift you're prioritizing this month.Want to become a SUCCESSFUL personal trainer?

For Episode 469, Josh Parham, Giovanni Lago, Daniel Howat, and Tom O'Brien join me for what is one of the biggest episodes of the year. We knew heading into this week we would have to discuss the Gotham, NYFCC, and NBR winners, the AFI Top 10 films of the year, the CCA and Spirit Award nominations, and briefly touch on the Golden Globe Award nominations before they're announced. But then the industry dropped a bombshell: Netflix will acquire Warner Bros., a power move that threatens to be a seismic shift across the industry, with many implications for the future. For this week's poll, we ask our famous question: "Which Film Do You Think is Going To Be The Next Best Picture Oscar Winner?" We also reveal the winner of last week's poll, for the release of "Jay Kelly," where we asked, "Which Is Your Favorite George Clooney Performance?" In addition, we share our reactions to the trailers for "Mother Mary," "Ready Or Not 2: Here I Come," "Scarlet," "Midwinter Break," answer your fan-submitted questions, and more.
