Welcome,Parks fans, to the futureand to the beginning of the end. Last season's feel-good finale ended with a surprise twist as the Parks and Rec universe leaped forward to 2017. The Knope-headed Pawnee branch of the National Parks Department was humming, the Knope-Wyatt triplets (2 sons, 1 daughter) were toddlers, Jerry was Terry, and an employee more incompetent than Jerry had been hired and fired (Ed, we hardly knew ya). Before jumping into the meat of the premiere, let's check in with our favorite Pawneeansthree years into the future.
Leslie Knope: Running the Pawnee office of the National Parks Service. Oversees over 1,200 people, all tireless creative geniusesexcept Terry and Ed (John Hamm). She's got bangs and is nursing a hell of a grudge.
Ron Swanson: Left the Parks Department two years ago to run his own company, the Very Good Building and Development Company.
Ben Wyatt: Still working happily in Pawnee city government, and being awarded Man of the Year for spearheading the Pawnee Bicentennial Celebrationhis biggest civic endeavor since the Icetown fiasco.
Tom Haverford: Tom's Bistro has taken off, and its eponymous owner is officially a mogul, named one of 35 under 35 by Indiana Business Monthly. Owns four eateries including the Tommy Chopper (chopped salads served from a decommissioned military helicopter). His fashion sense hasn't changed at all.
Andy Dwyer: Working part-time for Leslie and starring in his own TV show, The Johnny Karate Super Awesome Musical Explosion Show. Sprained a shoulder cleaning out a gutter.
April Ludgate-Dwyer: Also working for Leslie, purchasing renters' insurance, and no longer eating cereal out of frisbees, much to her horror. Deeply concerned that she's become boring.
Terry (Larry/Jerry/Gary) Gergich: Works for Leslie, still the office punching bag. Renamed Terry because there was already a Larry at National Parks. Appears as Mailman Barry/literal punching bag on The Johnny Karate Super Awesome Musical Explosion Show.
Donna Meagle: Running Regal Meagle Realty and freshly engaged to paramour Joe.
With that out of the way, let's get into it. The premiere picks upright where we left off in season 6, with Leslie talking a mile a minute to an ever-patient Ben en route to a meeting. Advancing Leslie toruna branch of the National Parks Service was an important move for a character whose ambition and skill had outgrown the municipalParks Department. But it should surprise no one that she still takes an interest in the doings of Pawnee, particularly when those doings could include the creation of a new national park right in her belovedcity.

TV Review: 'Parks and Recreation' season premiere recap: '2017'
Imagine: Sitting before you is a scale model of the Rogers Centre, roughly the size of a round roasting pan. Your challenge: to put a real baseball field in the stadium natural grass with a dirt infield by opening day 2018.
Your research has been thorough. Experts at the University of Guelph have determined the ideal species of grass. They have it growing on an Ontario sod farm. They say it will flourish indoors with the roof closed.
Under the right conditions, that is. Your job is to create those conditions.
So open the roof, reach in and toss out that artificial turf, which was new for the 2015 season. Haul out your jackhammer. Rip up the concrete. Install plumbing for irrigation and drainage. Dig some more to accommodate the sod and the dirt infield.
Close the roof. Strip that shiny skin from the four mammoth roof panels. Its the original PVC membrane, circa 1989, and its worn out. While youre at it, you might figure out a way to replace it with a material that lets in the light. Grass likes natural light, and right now, the closed dome shuts it out.
The scientists at Guelph say the grass will grow without natural light, but youll need lots of artificial light enormous banks of mobile grow lights that sit about 10 feet off the ground and nourish the sod when the field is not in use. Youll roll them around between games to focus on the worn spots, even after games played with the roof open.
One more thing. Grass sweats. (Scientists call it transpiration.). Water from the roots vaporizes from the leaf surface into the air. All of that grass will create a lot of humidity, and youve got to figure out a way to get rid of that sticky air or the Rogers Centre will become a sweatbox with the roof closed. So youll need a dehumidifier. Forget Home Depot; you need a really big one.
Now youre ready to install the grass.
Assuming, of course, that your engineers surmounted all of those challenges and you have the budget to make it happen.

Real grass at Torontos Rogers Centre poses major challenges
Wild elephant grass, also know as Napier grass, is one of those wonder plants that needs little water and few nutrients to produce copious crops on fallow lands. Since it can be used for grazing, it has allowed farmers from Africa to Asia to amp up food supplies for their cattle herds.
But Philippine farmers in Bacolor, Pampanga, just north of the capital Manila, have now gone a step further. They are using the grass to produce renewable electricity for their meat factory. Everything we need is on-hand, says Bacolor Mayor Jomar Hizon.
The town has plenty of land to graze cattle and grow grass, but its processed meat factory, Pampangas Best, needs electricity. Hizon says that that the grass-powered power plant is like a three-point shot.
The sod growing in Pampanga is the so-called Super Napier grass, which is packed with energy. It can produce several crops per year and local experts estimate that an area smaller than a fifth of New Yorks Central Park, or about 150 acres, could yield 1 megawatt in grass power. The Philippines is a very appropriate place for a project such as this, where we have farmers in one community, and a power plant a few kilometers away that can provide up to perhaps 10 megawatts, says West Stewart, managing director of Advanced Energy Technologies, which builds distributed power plants across southeast Asia. Stewart says that the elephant grass power plant could help power towns and villages facing electricity shortages and lacking links to the electric grid.
The farmers, of course, are not burning the grass itself. That would be too inefficient. They gassify the cellulose in the grass blades by exposing it to very high heat, and break it down into energy-rich synthetic gas, or syngas, which contains methane, hydrogen and carbon monoxide. They use the syngas as fuel for massive Jenbacher gas engines, which GE manufactures in Austria. This can be replicated in other areas in the country, says John Alcordo, GEs regional general manager for Distributed Power in ASEAN. We believe that in an island grid such as [in Bacolor], and in a land where feedstock for biomass gasification can grow well, the opportunities will be significant.
The shift to distributed power is the latest trend in energy generation and distribution, akin to going from landlines to cell phones, a move that revolutionized telecommunications two decades ago. It gives people and businesses predictable and reliable access to electricity, regardless of whether the grid is working or whether it reaches their town.
GEs Distributed Power business, the companys newest unit, has already rolled out dozens of similar Jenbacher applications around the world. The gas engines are munching on everything from cheese whey and whisky mash to discarded school lunches and rice hulls.

THE year 2015 or the year of the Wooden Sheep will have businesses keep their momentum of businesses, according to Feng Shui enthusiast Edgar Hao.
The year of the Sheep will be better than last year. This is a year good for business and opportunities, Hao said in an interview on Tuesday.
The year of the Wooden Sheep which will officially kick in on Feb. 19, has the sense of balance as all the five elements including wood, water, metal, fire and earth will be found in this years Feng Shui chart, which serves as their guide in making predictions.
There is momentum. The balanced astronomical signs signify a year of prosperity and a year of opportunities. The presence of fire element, for instance, will continue to push opportunities especially in business, said Hao, who has been practicing practical Feng Shui for 15 years.
2 elements
The year of the sheep is symbolized by two elements with yin wood sitting on top of earth.
Although this signals disharmony as the wood conquers earth on the destructive cycle, such conflicts, according to Hao, may be more easily resolved with compromise and concessions in 2015 as the nature of the yin wood is a flower which is easy to adjust directions and is much more flexible.
Yin wood symbolizes the small branches of tree which is not stubborn and can easily adjust to changing circumstances. With such character, expect 2015 will be comparatively less violent than 2014, said Hao.
In 2015, the flexible and more moderate character of yin wood represents compromising attitude and makes it easier to reach agreement between conflicting interests. As such, it will be easier to arrive at solutions and make treaties to resolve conflicts and struggles, he said.
The traits of the sheep harmless, calm, innocent, gentle and spiritual will influence 2015.

The Facebook contest, which ran from mid Nov to Dec 31, 2014 was held in conjunction with the Groups 20th Anniversary Countdown Celebrations and the launch of its Super Deals! mega property promotion.
It was also a gesture of appreciation to the community supporting its Bintulu Paragon integrated development.
Participants were required to share the Super Deals! Facebook ad on their Timeline, take their photos in Bintulu Paragons show units and share them on their Facebook Page. Participants with the most number of likes would win the contest.
Excited with her win of an iPad Mini, Yong thanked Naim for organising the contest.
It was an easy and fun contest offering great prizes. By visiting Bintulu Paragons Facebook Page, I had the opportunity to know more about the development and benefit it brings not only to buyers but the community as a whole.

KUCHING: The beginning of Spring or Li Chun falls on Feb 4 this year, meaning the Year of the Sheep starts on Feb 4 although Chinese New Year is on Feb 19.
Many Chinese seek to enhance their New Year luck through feng shui practices. A common feng shui chart used as an annual guide is the Flying Star chart.
According to crystals shop Silver Point proprietor YS Tan, the Flying Star chart maps out the ways energy is distributed in nine areas of a location, especially in ones home.
The nine areas in the Flying Star chart represent different things, good or bad. They are each marked by a number and a corresponding direction. The position of these things change every year, he told The Borneo Post in an exclusive interview yesterday.
Tan said people can use crystals or other feng shui-related items to enhance positive energy and repel negative energy.
This year, East corresponds with the auspicious number 1, which represents position or relationship. Those born in the Year of the Rabbit should tap into this auspicious energy using crystals such as rose quartz, amazonite or rainbow tourmaline.
The negative number 2 falls in the south-east area this year, representing sickness. Those affected are those born in the Dragon and Snake years. They can consider using black obsidian, black rutile or tektite to lessen the effect of this inauspicious star.
Number 3 star is known to bring about arguments and misunderstandings. This year, it falls in the centre area, which is negative to everyone in the household. To lessen its effect, salt lamps are recommended. Salt lamps are natural Himalayan salt rocks made into lamps for their natural benefits, such as purifying the air and preventing radiation.
The auspicious number 4 in the north-west direction this year stands to benefit people born in the Dog and Boar years. Crystals to enhance include aventurine or tigers eye.
