But according to Realtors Pat Karley and Karena Carlson, keeping a close eye on buyers can sometimes backfire.

Relief could be in sight for millions of parents and children who suffer from peanut allergies. The experimental patch is called Viaskin and it’s being tested on toddlers between the ages of 1 to 3 who cannot tolerate even a small fraction of a peanut. Thus far the results have been promising, as the patch slowly trains the kids to tolerate an accidental bite of something containing nuts by introducing a small amount of peanut protein into their system. There is no cure to nut allergies, and while most youngsters outgrow the severe medical episodes associated with the allergy, they largely must still avoid eating nuts for life.

A 100-year-old abandoned schoolhouse in rural North Dakota sat empty for 50 years until two local women farmowners purchased it to adapt the building into a retreat center for fiber arts enthusiasts to learn the trade sustainably and from start to finish. The retreat center has 11 guest rooms, a commercial kitchen, an apartment, offices, dining room, classrooms, a fiber processing mill, and an event space. Future plans include bringing an educational flock of fiber animals to live on site on the fields and pasture behind the school. The project has increased tourism in the rural 42-person town of Nome, spurred new economic development, and inspires other non-traditional preservationists to take part in saving historic places for community and sustainable uses.
