Annuities come in different flavors and, depending on which you choose, they may or not be suitable for you if they don't meet your preferences for risk or your financial requirements. Stealing an analogy from a children's story, one annuity may be too hot (risky), while another one may be too cold (low returns) for your tastes. When indexed annuities were introduced in the 1990's, they sought to attract the investor who was looking for something that was "just right".
Often thought of as a hybrid between a variable and fixed annuity, an indexed annuity participates in the growth of the stock market while capping the downside with a minimum rate guarantee. It is not considered to be an equity investment because the funds are not invested directly into the stock market.
Rather, like a fixed annuity, the funds are a part of the life insurer's general account, however, the yield, or rate of return, is based on the performance of a stock index, or a combination of different indices. The yield that is credited to your annuity account is derived from the percentage gain of the index.
For instance, if the index increases by 18%, year-to-year, the rate credited by the life insurer would be 18% less the participation rate. The participation rate is the percentage in which you participate in the gain. A 70% participation rate would mean that 30% of the gain would be deducted by the insurer. The insurer retains a portion of the gain as an offset to the cost of providing you with downside protection.
There is a cap on the upside earnings, however, there is also a cap on the downside which is the minimum interest rate that is credited in any given year. This means that you can participate in the upside growth of the index while you won't lose any ground during market declines.
The account values of an Indexed annuity are adjusted annually to reflect the year-to-year performance of the index. Depending on the method used to do this, your account values could fluctuate from year to year. One method of account valuation, called Annual Reset, actually maintains the previous year's account value as the basis should there be a decline in the index. If there is a gain, the account value is reset upwards and that becomes the new basis.
The key components of indexed annuities are the index used for rate determination, the participation rate, the minimum guaranteed rate, the rate cap, the market value adjustment methods and the vesting schedule. Each of these features can be compared, side by side, by accessing an annuity comparison site online. These sites enable you to sort annuities by the features that are most important to you.
A standard index used in indexed annuities is the S&P 500. It's a broad index of high quality stocks. Some companies offer a range of different stock indices allowing you to select one that fits your investment preferences. Others use a combination of several indices and apply a weight average. It is best to look for an indexed annuity that uses an index in line with your investment preferences.
This is a key factor in that it determines how much of the gain, up to the cap, you will participate in. Obviously, the higher the rate the better. Look carefully at the provisions specify whether the rate is temporary or permanent. You may be enticed by a high participation rate only to find that it drops much lower at some point in the future. It may be in your interest to select a moderate participation rate if is guaranteed for the length of the contract.
Indexed annuities eliminate your downside risk by providing a rate floor. Typical minimum rates are somewhere in the range of 1% to 3%. Obviously, the annuity with the higher floor is better, but don't select it if the participation rate provisions are unfavorable.
Rate caps can range between 4% and 15% depending on the index and the participation rate. Again, the rate cap may not be as important as the participation rate. 80% participation in a 6% cap is better than 40% participation in a 10% cap. So it's important to do the math.
Each year the account values are adjusted for gains that are made. There are several methods used and the one that is recommended the most is the annual reset. The annual reset method ensures that a previous year's gain cannot be erased and that your base value will always use the most recent year's gains as a new basis.
There are any number and combination of riders and options that you will find as you search for the top indexed annuity. The key is to stick with these key measures and be mindful that it is difficult to find an indexed annuity that rates a 10 in each of these. The best indexed annuity is the one that is competitive in all aspects.

The product I'll be reviewing today will be Derwent's new Inspire Me sketchbook.
The Inspire Me sketchbook is a 20cm by 20cm (7.87") hard-cover, thread-bound sketchbook. Derwent says that the 80 pages within are 120 gsm bleedproof marker paper. If you remember me raving about Derwent's Graphik pens... I'll also mention that this sketchbook is from their Graphik line, so let's find out whether this sketchbook is just as good as the pens.
Jet black, hard-cover, and thread bound.
I still haven't decided whether I like the lime peel green color of the elastic band or not.
The Derwent Graphik logo printed in gloss on the inside of the sketchbook.
I love the feel of the faux leather cover. The sketchbook feels very well-made; the lime peel green elastic band that keeps it close has not loosened even after me using the sketchbook for a while now, the thread-bound pages feel very secure, and the sketchbook is able to lay flat when opened. The pages are a bleached white color.
The one I have is the medium sized one. There is also a small version of it that is 14cm by 14cm which might be handy to bring around with you whilst you're out. Keeping in mind, though, that the sketchbook is meant more for pens and ink; I've not tried watercolours or my Inktense pencils in it because the paper is super smooth and I don't think it'd manage well without buckling.
There is, however, this weird chemical smell on it, but it has lessened over time. I think this is a problem that a lot of marker pads/sketchbooks have and that it comes from the way the papers are treated to make them bleedproof. I don't see an indication of the sketchbook being acid free, so I'll assume that it isn't acid free... Update: A Derwent representative has confirmed with me that the sketchbook, is in fact, acid free. I really think that Derwent should, then, change the packaging of the sketchbook to state that it's acid free.
The actual sketchbook is actually slightly longer than the measurements stated. The paper inside the sketchbook is indeed 20cm by 20cm, but the actual sketchbook is 22cm by 20.5cm. Why's that? Well, for one, the 0.5cm is to protect the pages within the sketchbook, but the other 1.5cm in the length of the sketchbook is there because the pages are perforated.
Now, I know some artists absolutely love perforated edges because if you don't like a certain page, you can tear it out and dump it and not have to see it ever again... Or if you really like a page, you can tear it out and frame it and such. Other artists think it justs makes the pages easier to fall out. Derwent has designed their Inspire Me sketchbook very well, though, and I don't feel as though the pages will tear out without me really tearing them out. The weight of the paper also helps a lot with that.
The sketchbook also has four different types of printed paper within, and each pattern has eight pages each within. The rest of the pages are just plain white.
And finally, the sketchbook also has a little pocket glued to the inside of the back cover, so that you're able to keep loose bits of paper and such in it. I don't really like to keep anything in it because it actually will make it difficult for me to draw properly, especially when you're on the last few pages of the sketchbook.... But that's just me.
The texture of the pocket reminds me of Derwent's black paper. I don't know whether it is indeed made from their black paper, or whether they made new paper just for the pocket. It feels sturdy, though, and I'm sure it'd be useful if I ever needed to keep some loose bits of paper in it.
And of course, the obligatory drawing-in-sketchbook-using-Graphik-pens.
In all, the Inspire Me sketchbook is a very decent sketchbook that I think would be very suitable for on-the-road notes taking or idea generating. I love that it's smooth and yet bleedproof. It's a pity that it isn't said to be acid free, otherwise I would use it very often for my zentangle drawings. Update: A Derwent representative has confirmed with me that the sketchbook, is in fact, acid free. It has also come in very handy for my design works (logos, typography, etc.) due to the grids that it contains.
Overall, a solid 9 out of 10 stars.


I must say in one thing that the book had very less content and instead of being a 2oo sumthing book i read completely in just few hours. The next worst thing about it was when the author would go and keep on writing what the boy was thinking , even if you actually skipped these few paragraphs you would ave missed nothing and on the other hand gave very obscure details of other important thing that should have been mentioned with great preference.
But if we skip these minute drawbacks the novel is a nice delicacy to lay hands upon. Also made me anxiously wait for the next part of the very interesting novel.

Ronaldo Debut For Al Nassr Likely To Be Against Messi, PSG
January 09, (THEWILL) – Cristiano Ronaldo may finally make his much-anticipated debut for Al Nassr in an upcoming friendly match against Paris Saint-Germain.
The 37-year-old soccer superstar recently joined the Saudi Arabian club, but has yet to take the field due to a suspension issued by the English Football Association.
However, Al Nassr coach Rudi Garcia has revealed that Ronaldo could make his debut as early as January 19 in a match against PSG, which will consist of a mix of players from Al Nassr and Al Hilal. This would be a historic moment for Ronaldo, as he would have the opportunity to face off against fellow soccer legend Lionel Messi and his team, Paris Saint-Germain.
While this friendly match would be a great opportunity for development and a chance to see some of the world's greatest players in action, Garcia did mention that the team has a championship game just a few days later on January 22, and it remains to be seen if Ronaldo will be available for that match as well.
Regardless of when he makes his debut, Ronaldo's arrival at Al Nassr has generated a great deal of excitement among soccer fans and it will be interesting to see how he performs with his new club.

About Bad Boy Entertainment:
In 1993, Sean "Puff Daddy" Combs, also known as Diddy, launched Bad Boy Records. Nobody could have
imagined the impact the label would have on pop culture. As a subsidiary of the larger Bad Boy
Entertainment, the label became best known for its signature sound of streetwise hip-hop soul and the
ghetto fabulousness that radiated like precious jewels from its very name. Bad Boy was designed for
those who aspired higher, but also wanted to party until the break of dawn. Puffy had seen life from
both sides of the class divide and, with his groove-heavy music, worked hard to merge the two. There is
no better visual embodiment of this merger than the groundbreaking videos that were in heavy rotation
on BET and MTV and now on YouTube.
The Bad Boy Entertainment channel is the official YouTube home of iconic music videos from Puff
Daddy, Craig Mack, Faith Evans, 112, Total, Mase, Yung Joc, Cassie, Danity Kane, and the rest of the Bad
Boy Family, and your destination for some of the biggest 90s and 00s hip-hop hits of all time like Craig
Mack's "Flava In Your Ear (Remix)", the Notorious B.I.G. tribute "I'll Be Missing You" by Puff Daddy feat.
Faith Evans and 112, and Cassie – "Me & U".

This is the heartbreak hotel
You said that you'd be here by nine
And said you took your time
You didn't think to call me boy
Here I sit trying not to cry
Asking myself why you do this to me
Since you're not around for me to tell you baby face to face
I'm writing you this letter, and this is what I have to say:
All I really wanted was some of your time
Instead you told me lies
When someone else was on your mind
Look what you did to me
I thought that you were someone who would do me right
Until you play with my emotions and you made mecry
Can't take what you did to me
Now I see that you been doing wrong
You played me all along.
And made a fool of me, baby
You got it all wrong to think that I wouldn't find out
That you were cheating on me.
How could youdo it to me?

THE FIRST LADY OF R&B!!!
i know Maria Miguel have made a vid of Faith's live VR but I wanted to do my own take on this!
so... ive decided to listen to Faith's discography and i got to say her belts are extremely effortless like wind! despite that, she had serious issues with her intonation in her early years which i believe is due to her usage of marijuana at that time. however, she has come a long way and has improved by leaps and bounds. and im proud of her for that! though not every note is perfect, i love the added grit she adds to her belts and the passion she has when she sings!
hope you like this!

Billy D not concerned about Beal's minutes
Freshman guard Bradley Beal has lived up to his lofty recruiting status in his first season at Florida.
The 6-foot-3, 2011 Gatorade National of the Year ranks eighth in the Southeastern Conference in scoring (14.1 ppg) and 16th in rebounding (5.8 rpg). He's earned SEC freshman of the week honors four times this season, including this past week following a 19-point performance against Mississippi State.
Florida coach Billy Donovan said he has no concerns about Beal wearing down at this point. Beal ranks fourth in the SEC in minutes played at 33.5 per game.
"He gives us a really good rebounder at that small forward spot, so we need him out there," Donovan said. "I (pressed) him a little more for the Mississippi State game and the quick turnaround coming out of Ole Miss on Thursday. I'm not really that worried about him right now."
Playing undersized at the small forward spot, Beal has had to match up with bigger bodies defensively in SEC play and so far has held his own. Beal came into the season last October at a muscular 207 pounds in part to withstand the physical pounding through February and March.
Donovan said he's seen no signs of physical fatigue from Beal.
"I think the biggest thing that happens, more than anything else, is that they get mentally fatigued," Donovan said. "I have not seen that mental fatigue on him yet. Or physical.
"I think right now he's fine. Not saying that can't happen maybe several weeks from now. But right now I feel pretty good where he's at."
— Florida's Ratings Percentage Index jumped 21 spots to No. 15 following wins over Mississippi and Mississippi State. The Gators improved to 3-2 against RPI Top 50 teams and are 4-2 against RPI Top 100 teams. There are currently six SEC teams in the RPI Top 50, which will give Florida chances to improve its RPI. The Gators still have two games left with Kentucky (5 RPI), Vanderbilt (26 RPI) and one game left with Alabama (36 RPI). The Gators could also face Mississippi State (35 RPI) and/or Ole Miss (40 RPI) down the road in the SEC Tournament.
— Donovan said that junior forward Erik Murphy is a better shooter at this point in his career than Matt Bonner. "I'm not sure Matt wants to hear that," he quipped. Murphy is shooting a team-high 48.5 percent (33-68) from 3-point range this season. Murphy and Bonner are often compared to one another because of their ability to shoot from 3-point range from the power forward spot, which stretches opposing defenses.
— Former Florida center Kenny Kadji is continuing his strong season down the road at Miami. In ACC games, Kadji ranks sixth in the conference in scoring (16.5 ppg), ninth in rebounding (6.5 rpg) and third in blocked shots (2.0 bpg). Kadji transferred from Florida to Miami during the summer of 2010, after missing most of the 2009-10 season with a bulging disc in his lower back.
— Junior guard Kenny Boynton is shooting just 33 percent (13-39) from 3-point range in SEC games, Boynton shot 46.7 percent (57-122) from 3-point range during the non-conference schedule.

If a certain spiritual practice makes us better people — more loving, less angry — then it is necessarily good, and by extension "true."...By that measure, there is very little "good religion" out there. Put bluntly: God is not a lot of fun these days. Many of us don't view religion so generously. All we see is an angry God. He is constantly judging and smiting, and so are his followers. No wonder so many Americans are enamored of the Dalai Lama. He laughs, often and well.
What religion is he looking at? This seems like stereotype. My church is not like this. Conservative Evangelicalism has managed to convince everyone--believers and nonbelievers alike--that they are the only game in town.
Wrong. Religion is by definition social. It is not an individual pursuit. Private engagement with the divine is spiritualism, and this is the problem: the nones are growing because people are increasingly disinterested in collective engagement.

Ukraine Baptists Prepare for Possible Russian Invasion
January 28, 2022 by Staff
by Diana Chandler
LVIV, Ukraine (BP) Baptists in Western Ukraine have made plans to shelter fellow believers in the case of a Russian invasion at Ukraine's eastern border, a Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary graduate who now leads a Baptist seminary in Ukraine told Baptist Press.
"If Russia will invade, they will invade in eastern part and northern part, and a little bit of south," said Yarsolav "Slavik" Pyzh, president of Ukrainian Baptist Theological Seminary (UBTS) in Lviv who holds a doctorate from SWBTS.
"Churches already agreed," Pyzh said. "Those that are on the western part of Ukraine … told our brothers and sisters in other parts of Ukraine [that] if something happens we will open our homes and our churches to you."
Russia persecutes Christians through restrictions such as the 2016 Yarovaya Law criminalizing evangelism outside church walls. Russia considers any church beyond the government-influenced Russian Orthodox Church to be sectarian or a cult.
Pyzh believes Russian victory in Ukraine would more than likely lead to Ukraine being split into two countries, with western Ukraine remaining independent. Baptist churches that would fall to Russian rule as a consequence would likely transition to spread the Gospel underground, Pyzh said, rather than abandon the faith.
"The church will go underground," he said. "You have to understand that historically we had that experience before under the Soviet Union. So the church did not forget what does it mean to be persecuted, and I think that we will rearrange, reorganize, and still do what we always do, still preach the Gospel."
About 400 of the 1,300 students enrolled in UBTS are from eastern Ukraine, Pyzh said. UBTS has already helped Christian missionaries safely navigate the region during the current threat of violence.

"I think here in the West we would have the opportunity to train more students, to train more people, facilitate some help and support them in any possible way," he said, "because I don't believe that [Russian President Vladimir] Putin will come here."
Malcolm Yarnell, who taught Pyzh at SWBTS more than a decade ago, has asked Southern Baptists to pray for Christians in both Ukraine and Russia.
"I would pray first of all for peace and justice between the two nations," said Yarnell, SWBTS research professor of theology. "I think that's important for us to pray for, because we want human beings to be respected and to be treated with human dignity. And in wartime, if war were to happen, human dignity seems to go out the window."
He described his second prayer request, "for the witness of the churches," as closer to his heart.
"Both Russian Baptists and Ukrainian Baptists believe firmly in religious liberty," Yarnell said. "They are respectful towards the state, but … they see themselves as coming under the Lordship of Jesus Christ, and they want to serve Christ and they want to witness for Christ.
"Like Baptists in so many places, they have a strong legacy of asking for religious liberty, and this is true of all of the Baptists there."
Pyzh encouraged churches in the U.S. to reach out to any Christians and churches in Ukraine with whom they've already established relationships, to earnestly pray for Ukrainian Baptists and to find ways to provide humanitarian relief in the event of armed conflict.
"I think if U.S. churches will renew their connections with Ukrainian churches, with Ukrainian entities, and ensure that yes, we are with you, yes, we are praying for you, yes, we are ready to step in and help, in case you need that help," Pyzh said, "that would be a tremendous encouragement for our people, that they are not alone in that."
RELATED: How Anti-Missionary Laws Are Influencing the Evangelical Church in Russia
The evangelical church in the U.S. is in a better position than the evangelical church in Europe, Pyzh said.
"You have to understand, the evangelical church in Europe is not that strong," he said. "But the evangelical church and Baptist church in particular in the United States are a lot stronger."
About 2,000 churches are members of the Ukrainian Baptist Union, comprising about 100,000 believers. UBTS, located about 1,000 miles west of the Ukrainian-Russian border, has graduates serving in 230 Ukrainian churches, Pyzh said.
It's unclear how humanitarian aide would be delivered in the event of war, he said, but pointed to such groups as the American Red Cross.

Original Scream Queen, Jamie Lee Curtis, 59, Returns to the Screen in the Latest Edition of Halloween
By Sixty and Me • October 20, 2018 • News
It's been 40 years since Jamie Lee Curtis, 59, made her film debut as Laurie Strode in John Carpenter's 1978 Halloween, earning her the title of original 'scream queen'.
And while Curtis has gone on to build a successful acting career filled with a variety of roles well beyond horror flick 'scream queen', she is revisiting her role as Laurie Strode in the latest installment of the Halloween horror franchise hitting theaters this month.
Forty Years of Halloween
Over the years, there have been eleven Halloween movies following the original, either sequels, prequels, or re-makes, all with varying degrees of success, though many of the less successful versions of the horror series being made without the original creator, co-writer, director and composer of the 1978 classic, John Carpenter.
Which is why it was so important to producer, Jason Blum, and co-writer/director, John Green, to make sure that Carpenter was involved in their latest Halloween installment – which he was. Carpenter was present on set and offered his insight and input on the script and various aspects of the entire process, undoubtedly improving the final outcome of the film.
The latest Halloween film features Curtis' character Strode as a paranoid grandmother living in fear that Michael Myers will one day return to Haddonfield and hunt her down.
And return he does.
Myers escapes from a prison-transfer van on Halloween night and goes in search of the woman who escaped his killing spree so many years before.
The new film also stars Judy Greer, playing Strode's daughter, and Andi Matichak, playing Strode's granddaughter.
Commenting on the evolvement of her character's life and family, Curtis said, "I don't know if 40 years ago I would have ever thought that Laurie Strode would have a daughter, let alone a granddaughter."
Curtis went on the share what makes the newest Halloween so exciting, "I just don't think I ever took it that far. Trauma is a generational disease because it affects everybody in the family. So that's what I think is so exciting about [this film]. They've explored that through the relationships between mother, daughter, granddaughter."
The three generations of Strode women can be seen in the Instagram photo Curtis recently shared, with an ominous Michael Myers in the background:
This is EVERYTHING! Three generations of Strode women coming back together to give Michael Myers major shade! @halloweenmovie @missjudygreer @andimatichak
A post shared by Jamie Lee Curtis (@curtisleejamie) on Oct 18, 2018 at 4:54pm PDT
To celebrate the release of the latest Halloween, Curtis hit the red-carpet at the film's premiere with her entire family earlier this week.
While Curtis and her husband of 33 years, Christopher Guest, and their children, Annie, 31, and Thomas, 22, have certainly attended events together in the past, there are few images of them photographed together as a family.
Which is why fans were so thrilled when Curtis shared a rare photo of the entire family together, attending the premiere in support of Curtis on her Instagram earlier this week.
Curtis honored the importance of her family with a heartfelt caption, "The most important part of my work is the people I get to come home from that work to. My daughter, Annie, my son, Tom and my husband, Christopher offered me love and support last night and I am so lucky to call them mine."

Living with 100 lbs. less of a husband, and a newly minted marathoner yet (training for his first full one), causes some food clashes in a house formerly dominated by the taste principle of cooking. Alas. But even with my weak willpower and distaste for nutritionism in American food rhetoric, I had to admit that my 20-year habit of eating a big white bagel in the morning was Not Good. I would often start to crash and need a small snack around 10:30 a.m., and then turn into a raging bi…g white bagel if I didn't have lunch by 1 p.m. I had tried many times to change and found myself crashing even harder with cold cereal or oatmeal. Adding cream cheese or butter to toast didn't seem to help, either, and I found anything heavy and savory, like eggs, revolting in the morning.
I've really come around on the eggs issue, though, and after my strict debagelization training regime with Retrogrouch, I now usually can eat a fried egg with a piece of thin pumpernickel German toast in the morning, as long as it's not first thing.
The gruel usually features oat groats that we get locally from Camas Country Mill. He's also done it with ryeberries from Open Oak Farm, also local, and occasionally with Open Oak's wonderful purple barley, which we've been eating quite a bit of since he's returned from his leave in Seattle. What these grains share in common is that they are not processed at all but left whole and un-pearled or rolled, processes that break down the groat so it is more easily digestible, but removes some of the nutrients.
Retrogrouch makes his gruel even more healthy with the addition of flax meal, which may not be to everyone's taste. Whole grains lack the starchy quality of those that have been pre-digested. I find flaxmeal tastes like mealy wheat germ, and the texture is difficult for me, but it does add some "stick to your ribs" quality that using whole grains lacks. He also adds whole flax seeds and chia seeds, the latter currently trending in pop nutrition circles, which add crunch and a pleasant slipperiness. He adds no sugar or salt, but I think it would benefit from a pinch of salt.
It's critical to note that the gruel cooks very, very slowly for about 12 hours. He claims it is better than the version he's tried at half the time, because the grains finally break down and yield a creaminess (see above). However, at 12 hours, I constantly worry about him burning the bottom of the pot. So far there have been no casualties.
He likes to add frozen thawed blueberries and walnuts as a topping in the morning and eat gruel as a snack throughout the day. I, being my own weak self, prefer cream and brandied apricots with a little vanilla powder, and can't fathom eating it more than once every few days. But surely there's a happy medium. And it's really quite good. I wouldn't be surprised if you couldn't go back to regular oatmeal (or god forbid a bagel) after trying it.
Do you like this kind of information/post? Let me know in the comments. I don't want to turn this into a health food blog, but if you like Retrogrouch's very different approach, I'm happy to include more from him.
No need to presoak the grains. Bring all ingredients to a boil, stirring frequently to incorporate the meal and to break up the chia seeds, which tend to clump. Lower temperature to the lowest setting (we use our gas stove's simmer burner) and heat gently for 12 hours. If you have an electric stove, you may want to use a crockpot instead. Once you have the technique and your own stove's capacity down, just stir every couple of hours, but you might want to be more vigilant to make sure nothing is burning on the bottom of the pan. Be particularly careful in beginning of the cooking process because the flax meal goes to bottom and may stick.
For cooking in the crock pot, just add all ingredients and cook on high for the first couple of hours, stirring every hour or two to integrate the water that rises to the top and scrape the sides, which cook more rapidly. Turn to low for 3-4 more hours to finish cooking. Won't be hurt if it gently cooks overnight.
Makes about 4-5 cups of gruel. Can be refrigerated for several days.
My creative bone is broken, and I just couldn't come up with a funny name for these delicious cookies. Tefferonis? Teffnuts? Tefferdoodles? Teffochippers? Terreffics?
But the important thing is that they taste good and the texture is more interesting than regular wheat flour chocolate chip cookies. The teff flour is not husky like whole wheat; it's rather more sandy or gritty in an appealing way because the hulls are so much smaller than wheat.
And small is the name of the game. Teff is like quinoa or millet that shops in the petite section. It's an ancient, nutritive grain grown in Ethiopia…and now the Willamette Valley! We've had access to Bob's Red Mill teff for quite some time now, but Tom Hunton of Eugene's Camas Country Mill has decided to try growing it, with great success.
I've described my own battles with injera, an Ethiopian flatbread made of teff, and I've heard that teff makes a good "enhanced" brownie, but I'm happy to report there's a new teff recipe in town. Tom was distributing a peanut butter chocolate chip cookie recipe with his flour on sale at the Saturday farmers market in Eugene. He said it was provided to him by Heidi Tunnell of catering/barn dinner fame.
Sounded good to me, so I took it home and changed up a few things to allow for what I had in the refrigerator. There are quite a few versions of this cookie on the internet (I think it originally was printed on the Bob's Red Mill teff flour bag), so if you don't have these ingredients on hand, look for an adaption that suits you.
My biggest change was using almond butter instead of the peanut butter called for in the recipe, and I added just a touch more oil, since I was worried about the difference in consistency and fat mouthfeel between crunchy almond butter and, say, a conventional peanut butter. I find the cookies really sweet already, and adding regular peanut butter would tip the scale into unpleasantness for me (but take this with a grain of salt, o sugareaters). This didn't stop me from adding more chocolate chips, though, since the 1/2 cup originally called for seemed more of a tease than anything. Use the strongly flavored Grade B maple syrup (often called 'pure') instead of the more buttery and milder Grade A that we're used to consuming or the processed crap like Mrs. Butterworth, because it provides a nice mapley edge to the cookie.
These cookies would be vegan if you could figure out another option for the chocolate chips, but I wouldn't mess with that. But no butter, no eggs.
The best thing about these cookies is that you can seduce healthy people with them, and still enjoy them yourself. Win win. And surely a better name will make them yet more appealing.
Combine flour, salt, and baking soda in a medium bowl. In a larger bowl, combine almond butter, vegetable oil, and syrup, mixing well.
Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients slowly, mixing in with a fork, just until incorporated. Cover and chill bowl of dough several hours in the refrigerator.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. On two cookie sheets lined with a sheet of parchment paper, drop dough balls about the size of a ping pong ball (~ one rounded tablespoon) two inches apart from each other. Flatten each ball with your fork, making a decorative criss-cross pattern on the top.
Bake for 11-13 minutes or until bottom is lightly brown and cookie holds together when you try to gently lift it from the sheet. Better to underbake than overbake, but be sure the center is not too wet.
You've heard me, and undoubtedly others, discussing the unprecedented interdisciplinary Food Justice conference coming to the University of Oregon next weekend, February 19-21. The conference is free and open to the public, and features talks from your favorite local and national food thinkers and doers; art; a theatrical reading; tours; and a food fair with educational booths from food organizations.
And best yet, it's in your own backyard. This conference has the potential to change minds and raise awareness about food systems and sustainability. Don't miss it!
On a personal note, I'm pleased that the new Master Food Preservers Alliance will be at the food fair with a tentative schedule of 2011 low-cost food preservation and safety classes. Please stop by and say hello! And while you're at it, say hello to a volunteer at the fair, since it is likely to be one of my Honors College students.
I'm also thrilled to be involved in two sessions, one on "Cultivating Oregon's Agriculture" (Session G) and another on "Urban Farms, Micro-Ranches & Greenhorns" (Session H), both on Monday. I'm moderating the first and responding to speakers in the second.
But you want to know about the big ticket items, right? Here they are, brought to you by conference convener UO Professor Allison Carruth.
On Friday, February 18th, there will be a staged reading of a community-based play written by Professor Theresa J. May with members of the Karuk, Hupa and Yurok communities, who have been directly affected by fish kill on the Klamath River in Oregon. The play is called Salmon is Everything. The reading will take place in a beautiful building at the University, the Many Nations Longhouse.
The conference proper will begin on Saturday, February 19th with Frederick Kirschenmann's opening plenary address (scheduled from 4:00-6:00 that evening). Kirschenmann is a longtime farmer and farmer advocate in the United States, and he currently serves as a fellow at the Leopold Center for Sustainable Agriculture in Iowa.
On Sunday, February 20th, there will be a full day of panel sessions on topics ranging from food empowerment in Latino communities in Oregon and California to "GMOs: Perspectives from Law & Literature." The keynote event that day is a panel on emerging research in GMOs, genetics and sustainable agriculture, featuring Charles Benbrook, Ignacio Chapela, Stephen Jones and David Cleveland. Sunday will also mark the opening of FOOD: An Art Exhibition, which will take place in Lawrence Hall in the LaVerne Krause Gallery.
The final day of the conference is Monday, February 21st. The program that day begins with keynote sessions featuring Darra Goldstein, the founding editor of the journal Gastronomica, and a roundtable of six inspiring nonprofit leaders. These leaders come from Milwaukee, Portland, Eugene, Seattle and Boulder, Colorado. The afternoon will then turn to a slate of six exciting panel sessions.
Vandana Shiva's Closing Plenary is also on Monday. All of the free tickets to Dr. Shiva's plenary have been distributed. However, we will be simulcasting Dr. Shiva's plenary to two overflow rooms. The seating in the overflow rooms will be on a first-come, first-served basis. The procedure for non-ticketholders is as follows: Line up on the first floor of the EMU as directed by event staff, beginning at 4:30 pm on Monday, February 21st. Event staff will direct non-ticketholders into the first overflow room (The EMU Fir Room). Once all seats are full in that first overflow room, the event staff will direct remaining non-ticketholders to the second overflow room (Lawrence Hall, Room 177), which is about a 3-minute walk.
Most varieties of bread wheat have a tough skin and are not particularly flavorful as whole grains for soups, stews and salads. A couple years ago, we purchased a package of frumento from a grocery store in Rome. It was sold as a breakfast cereal. The grain appears to be a soft red winter wheat of some sort. It is very tasty and tender for wheat. It is a true winter variety in that it forms a low growing tuft over the winter, and then shifts its growth pattern in the spring. The heads are large, productive and easy to thresh.
I liked this meal, because I was able to turn the leftovers of two hardy bunches of collards and the smoky, porkulent stock into a wheat berry soup for the next day's lunch. A twofer! It was just what I needed.
Today was the first day of our annual farmer's market, running now until Christmas. We've turned a corner. I'll post the gloriously un-dark day's pictures later today. Bright green spring greens, red and pink radishes, garnet beets, orange carrots, creamy white turnips, o my!

Who is an 'intermediary' for the sake of Article 11 of the Enforcement Directive?
Eleonora Rosati Friday, September 18, 2015 - Digital Single Market Strategy, Ecommerce Directive, Eleonora Rosati, Enforcement Directive, EU IP policy, iCLIC conference, InfoSoc Directive, intermediaries, Mr Justice Arnold
Mr Justice Arnold speaking yesterday
at the 1st iCLIC conference
in Southampton
Who can be considered an 'intermediary' within Article 11 of the Enforcement Directive, so that "rightholders are in a position to apply for an injunction" against such subjects "whose services are used by a third party to infringe an intellectual property right, without prejudice to Article 8(3) of Directive 2001/29/EC [the InfoSoc Directive]"?
Are 'intermediaries' the same subjects that the Ecommerce Directive refers to as 'information society service providers', and the InfoSoc Directive also calls 'intermediaries'?
This question is not really one of linguistics, especially considering the uncertainties surrounding – for instance - whether search engines may be considered intermediaries within Article 11 of the Enforcement Directive, as well as the current (heated) discussions surrounding the role and responsibilities of online intermediaries in tackling online infringements.
With particular regard to the latter, IPKat readers will promptly recall that this topic is indeed at the centre of policy discussion also [but not only: just look at Australia] at the EU level. Last May the EU Commission issued its Digital Single Market Strategy [here and here], in which - among other things - it announced a discussion on the role and responsibilities of online platforms and intermediaries to tackle infringing content. A public consultation on – among other things – the regulatory environment for online platforms and intermediaries [a draft version of which has been already leaked and the IPKat discussed it here] is due to be launched later this month.
While waiting for all these things to happen, is there anyone better placed to discuss the identity of an 'intermediary' than Mr Justice Richard Arnold (High Court of England and Wales and – among other things – blocking injunctions guru)?
The 1st iCLIC conference on the role of internet intermediaries in the law enforcement process opened yesterday [you can follow the conversation on Twitter at #iclic15] at the University of Southampton with a keynote address by Mr Justice Arnold, in which he addressed this very question.
The Enforcement Directive and preceding legislation
Mr Justice Arnold began his analysis by recalling the relevant EU legislation preceding the adoption of the Enforcement Directive.
He noted at the outset that the rationale for enrolling online intermediaries in the enforcement process is enshrined in Recital 59 of the InfoSoc Directive:
"In the digital environment, in particular, the services of intermediaries may increasingly be used by third parties for infringing activities. In many cases such intermediaries are best placed to bring such infringing activities to an end ..."
In other words, and to use a language borrowed from economists, the EU legislature considered intermediaries the best placed to bring infringing activities to an end [but also prevent new infringements from occurring, as the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) most recently recalled at para 37 of its Telekabel judgment, discussed here] because these subjects are the lowest-cost avoiders.
He also noted how Article 8(3) of the InfoSoc Directive does not contain an express reference to the 'digital environment', and Recital 59 itself stresses that the role of intermediaries may be relevant "in the digital environment, in particular", but does not appear limited to that [Merpel notes that this may be reassuring to hear for those (very few) who still have an off-line life].
Although the InfoSoc Directive is limited to copyright, the rationale of Recital 59 is the same of the general provision in Article 11 of the Enforcement Directive.
Having looked into relevant EU legislation, then Mr Justice Arnold considered UK implementation of the relevant provisions.
Too cool to care?
UK implementation of EU directives
The judge recalled how, while UK Government expressly transposed Article 8(3) of the InfoSoc Directive into its own copyright law [it is section 97(A) of the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988 (CDPA)], it decided against doing the same with regard to Article 11 of the Enforcement Directive, on consideration that section 37(1) of the Supreme Court Act 1981 was already enough [but if that was actually the case, noted the learned judge, then why didn't the UK Government repeal section 97(A)? For an analysis of the (messy) state of UK copyright legislation, do take a look at this Jeremy post].
There is no need to recall that, until the decision in Cartier [another thoughtful decision by Mr Justice Arnold, noted here], lack of express implementation of Article 11 of the Enforcement Directive into UK law had resulted in uncertainties whether an injunction against an intermediary could be sought in this Member State in case of infringement of intellectual property rights other than copyright [trade marks in the specific case of Cartier].
In any case, if one looks at the language employed in section 97A CDPA will notice that this provision speaks of 'service providers' rather than intermediaries, as it should have been instead the case under the InfoSoc Directive.
The reason?
The language of section 97A was derived from the legislative instrument through which the UK had implemented the Ecommerce Directive into its own domestic law. But are service providers the same thing as intermediaries?
Who is an intermediary? But does the answer matter at all in the UK?
To address this, Mr Justice Arnold looked into two CJEU cases, these being LSG and the already mentioned Telekabel.
In those cases the CJEU held that access providers and internet service providers are intermediaries. "[A]n internet service provider ... which allows its customers to access protected subject-matter made available to the public on the internet by a third party is an intermediary", held the CJEU at para 32 of its Telekabel judgment.
However, there are instances in which the nature of intermediaries or certain platforms [just to borrow from the language used by the EU Commission in its leaked draft consultation] has been basically taken for granted. This has been for instance the case of auction sites and online marketplaces in eBay, and online retailers in Cartier in which online retailers such as the target websites in that case could count as intermediaries.
However, if one takes the case of credit card providers [which, is worth highlighting, are central to the much publicised discussed Follow the Money approach, which Mr Justice Arnold discussed in unusual (considering the overall excitement surrounding it) non-overly-enthusiastic tone in Cartier], are they intermediaries? According to the learned judge this is unclear. As a result it is uncertain whether injunctions can be sought against them. As such, he expressed the need for guidance being provided at the level of national courts [possibly with a CJEU reference as well?].
However, he noted that as far as UK is concerned, this may not be really an issue, as section 37(1) of the Supreme Court Act 1981 allows the High Court to issue an injunction
"in all cases in which it appears to the court to be just and convenient to do so."
The result? It does not really matter whether one is an intermediary within Article 11 of the Enforcement Directive when it comes to intellectual property infringements, at least in the UK.
But - notes this Kat - can the same be said also for other EU Member States?

In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and Seal this Seventeenth day of July in the year Nineteen hundred and twelve.
Signed sealed and published and declared by the testator as for his last will and testament in our presence, who at his request and his presence, and in the presence of each other have each of us hereunto subscribed our names as witnesses.


The M27 corridor is crying out for investment to meet growing demand for workspace to rent.
Boxpod has seen its listings of commercial properties and workspaces to rent and buy in Portsmouth triple in the past 12 months. Property views were up 172 per cent on the previous year and enquiries up by 39 per cent.
This three-fold increase mirrors demand for offices, shops and workshops to rent outside London in areas with good transport links to the capital.
Research by Savills found that the economy of the M27 corridor and surrounding areas of Portsmouth and Southampton is growing faster than the national average, putting strain on an already undersupplied commercial market. The 2017 research found a lack of commercial development has led to an increase in refurbishments. Hopes are pinned on potential mixed-use schemes, dominated by residential but providing some commercial space.
Portsmouth is known for its maritime history. It's a busy port city and naval base, 70 miles south-west of London. Lambert Smith Hampton believes the city is challenging its local rival Southampton to become a shopping haven. The £16.2million retail development, Portsmouth Retail Park in North Harbour, is set to rebalance the retail offer in Hampshire, where Southampton has traditionally dominated, according to LSH South Coast office.


It is very crucial to protect your home and office too. You have many options of achieving this and it is accurate to consider installing some fences. It is here putting a wall to protect the place will be necessary to do. Fencing is also important for it allows one to have privacy in their home. Introducing the correct fence isn't that simple. For this reason, it is necessary to hire the finest fencing contractors. For any new individual considering it, it may appear to be confusing. This should not be the case when you learn some tips on how to hire these fencing pros. In here, you are going to learn some of these tips.
The following rule one ought to take is the involvement of these workers talked about at this point. It is noted that fencing installation services are not that simple to handle. It will likewise be hard to realize the right fence to introduce. However, when you have seasoned experts, this should be easy to do. This is because they have what it takes to recognize trusted fences known today. They are abilities will also make it easy to install the preferred fences as it should be. These ideas should prompt you to work with contractors that are highly regarded for their experience.
Another tip to get into your mind is the reputation of the alleged fencing company. There are some elements that will decide on this. First, the reliability of the experts to offer prompt services will matter. This shows they should be set to come to your rescue whenever you require their fencing abilities. The other factor is whether you can leave them to do their job at your place with no supervision. As you will be exposing your house or workplace to the said experts, it is decent to have certainty all will be protected at these spots.

Transforming a concrete slab into a garden
May 17, 2009 Garry Peterson	4 Comments
Crack Gardens was a winner of the American association of landscape professional award
in the residental design category.
(Photo by Tom Fox.)
Materials: existing site, soil amendment, plants; Size: 800 square feet; Cost: $500; Builders: homeowners
From the project's statement.
The Crack Garden is an exploration of the identity of site and the clarity of intervention. Pre-existing places have an inherent identity that is based on their history, materiality, and activities. The design is conceived as an intervention that functions as a lens, altering perception of a place rather than completely remaking it. The intervention can reveal the physical and material qualities of the place, and/or become a catalyst to incite new program activities. In the case of The Crack Garden, completely remaking the garden was highly unlikely because of the tiny budget. By fully embracing a strategy of design as intervention, the garden relies on its previous identity as much as it does on the changes that were imposed.
The conceptual basis of The Crack Garden is to reveal the potential for beauty that underlies the concrete and asphalt that is the predominant ground plane material of the urban landscape. The interventions into the site of The Crack Garden were primarily actions of removal rather than the addition of new layers and material. By eliminating portions of the existing concrete and exposing the soil beneath, potential is released, and new opportunities for the garden arise.
Although minimal in scope and budget, The Crack Garden is refined in its creation of well-programmed spaces for the residents of this four-unit building. The edges of the garden are well-defined by existing buildings and new fences, including a stainless steel cable trellis that stretches continuously across the top of the fence and continues across the neighbor's garage. The side of the garden along the residents' building is kept open for social activities, and plants selected for the cracks can tolerate foot traffic, which allows for multiple uses throughout the garden. A Jacaranda tree adds scale, creates an anchor for the garden, provides needed overhead definition to help contain the space, and offers filtered shade and summer color. Potato Vine is planted along the fences and back wall to grow on the cable trellis, and a beautiful Five-Leaf Akebia vine creates textural interest on the back wall. The planting within the cracks is somewhat random, changing regularly depending on the whims and desires of the resident gardeners, but usually includes a wide range of vegetables, herbs, flowers and weeds.

Notes on desiging social-ecological systems
February 11, 2009 Garry Peterson	2 Comments
Pruned on the rehabilitation of degraded landscapes presents Pedreres de s'Hostal:
Pedreres de s'Hostal is a disused stone quarry on the island of Minorca, Spain. In 1994, the quarry saw its last stonecutters, and since then, the non-profit organization Líthica has been hard at work transforming this industrial landscape into a post-industrial heritage park.
Conservation Magazine's Journal Watch reports on a recent paper Willis, S.G. et al. 2009. Assisted colonization in a changing climate: a test-study using two U.K. butterflies. Conservation Letters DOI: 10.1111/j.1755-263X.2008.00043.x, which describes a successful assisted colonization:
Based on climate models and a survey of suitable habitats, scientists introduced 500 to 600 individuals of two butterfly species to new sites in England, miles away from what were, in 1999 and 2000, the northern limits of their natural ranges. After monitoring for six years, they found that both introduced populations grew and expanded their turf from the point of release, similarly to newly colonized natural areas.
The butterflies' success outside of their usual limits suggests that their naturally shifting distributions had been lagging behind the pace of climate warming, the researchers conclude. The results also bode well for the careful use of this sometimes controversial technique for other species threatened by climate change. After all, wildlife can only run so fast and for those species moving up mountains to escape the heat, there's only so far they can go.
MacArthur Foundation granting $2 million to help ecosystems and human communities adapt to the effects of climate change. On Gristmill:
the IUCN and the World Wildlife Fund — will use it to establish a new Ecosystems and Livelihoods Adaptation Network. Details on the network are still being hashed out, but it's intended to be a resource for promoting best practices to conservation groups, governments, and others. It will aid projects such as creating protected corridors to help mountain-dwelling animals migrate to higher elevations and restoring natural barriers on coastlines, such as mangrove forests.
On Gristmill, futurist Jamais Cascio posts his recent reflections on geo-engineering in response to the detailed comparison between different geoengineering strategies a writes Geoengineering is risky but likely inevitable, so we better start thinking it through:
If we start to see faster-than-expected increases in temperature, deadly heat waves and storms, crop failures and drought, the pressure to do something will be enormous. Desperation is a powerful driver. Desperation plus a (relatively) low-cost response, coupled with quick (if not necessarily dependable) benefits, can become an unstoppable force.
If we don't want to see geoengineering deployed, we have to get our carbon emissions down as rapidly and as widely as possible. If we don't — if our best efforts aren't enough against decades of carbon growth and temperature inertia — we will see efforts to do something, anything, to avoid global catastrophe.
On Worldchanging Alex Steffen argues that Geoengineering Megaprojects are Bad Planetary Management:
Many of us oppose geoengineering megaprojects, not because we are afraid of science or technology (indeed, most bright green environmentalists believe you can't win this fight without much more science and technology), but because these kinds of megaprojects are bad planetary management.
It's bad planetary management to take big chances with a high probability of "epic fail" outcomes (like emptying the sea of life through ocean acidification). It's bad planetary management to build large, singular and brittle projects when small, multiple and resilient answers exist and will suffice if employed. It's bad planetary management to assume that this time — unlike essentially every other large-scale intervention in natural systems in recorded history — we'll get it right and pull it off without unintended consequences.
Jamais and Alex debate their points a bit in the WorldChanging comments.

Slow ecological art
April 24, 2008 Garry Peterson	Leave a comment
On Pruned Alexander Trevi describes the sculptor David Nash's art created from following the movement of a wooden boulder down a stream. Nash tried to use the river to move the wood to his studio, and when it became stuck he documented the movement of the wooden boulder downstream. The 25-Year Riverine Journey of a Wooden Boulder Carved out of a Felled 200-Year-Old Oak Tree:
"For 25 years," Nash writes, "I have followed its engagement with the weather, gravity and the seasons. It became a stepping-stone into the drama of physical geography. Spheres imply movement and initially I helped it to move, but after a few years I observed it only intervening when absolutely necessary – when it became wedged under a bridge."
The journey is so extraordinary — made more so perhaps by the fact that it's so well-documented — that we can't help but quote the rest of Nash's accounts:
During the first 24 years it moved down stream nine times remaining static for months and years. Sedentary and heavy it would sit bedded in stones animated by the varying water levels and the seasons. Beyond the bridge its position survived many storms, the force of the water spread over the shallow banks did not have the power to shift it. I did not expect it to move into the Dwyryd river in my lifetime.
Then in November 2002 it was gone. The 'goneness' was palpable. The storm propelled the boulder 5 kilometres, stopping on a sandbank in the Dwryd estuary. Now tidal, it became very mobile. The high tides around full moon and the new moon moved it every 12 hours to a new place, each placement unique to the consequence of the tide, wind, rain and depth of water.
In January 2003 it disappeared from the estuary but was found again in a marsh. An incoming tide had taken it up a creek, where it stayed for five weeks. The equinox tide of March 19 2003 was high enough to float it back to the estuary where it continued its movement back and forth 3 or 4 kilometres each move.
The wooden boulder was last seen in June 2003 on a sandbank near Ynys Giftan. All creeks and marshes have been searched so it can, only be assumed it has made its way to the sea. It is not lost. It is wherever it is.

Barcelona need to keep improving the squad and they have to anticipate the decline of some of their most important players. In midfield, Adrien Rabiot and Frenkie de Jong have been singled out as players wanted and the club will be pushing to secure their respective arrivals this year.
Doubts on the bench As things stand, it remains unknown whether or not Ernesto Valverde will remain on the bench at the Camp Nou next season, even though he has signed for another year. The club are allowing him to take until February to make a decision, though they have publicly stated their desire for him to stay.
No season at Barcelona ever passes without a contract renewal soap opera surrounding one of their best players and the next few months will see the future of Jordi Alba decided. Currently contracted until 2020, he has made no secret about wanting a new deal and he wants parity with Gerard Pique and Sergio Busquets in his salary. Away from the pitch At a more institutional level, Barcelona will begin work on modernising the Camp Nou.
They also hope to open the Johan Cruyff Stadium, which will be a new home for the women's team and look for ways to remodel the club's crest.

Congresswoman Virginian Foxx on Hemp
Our good friend Amy Sykes sent Congresswoman Virginia Foxx an email asking her about the Industrial Farming Act. I'm not sure what kind of response Amy expected, but when Foxx replied she seemed pretty focused on saying as little as possible. Look for our comments in Green.
Dear Ms. Sykes:
Thank you for emailing me regarding the H.R. 1866, the Industrial Hemp Farming Act. I appreciate your taking the time to share your opinions with me.
I don't doubt your good intentions in supporting this legislation. Legalization of hemp cultivation is a topic on which I received a great deal of mail when I was in the North Carolina State Senate but I have not read a great deal about it since coming to Congress. One of my concerns is that people would grow hemp to circumvent laws regarding marijuana. Drug addiction is one of the largest challenges we face in this country and I will continue to oppose any effort to make it easier for people to grow and use drugs.
(Marijuana is not addictive, and causes no deaths)
(Hemp is the most useful crop available to American growers, yet it's illegal)
Rest assured I will study this issue carefully should H.R. 1866 come before the House for a vote. It is important to explain to the American people that whether or not H.R. 1866 comes to the House for a vote is completely in the hands of Speaker Pelosi and the Democrat majority. They control what we are allowed to vote on.
(Good Point Let's Send Pelosi some letters)
Please continue to contact me on any issues of concern. Thank you for viewing my award winning website, www.foxx.house.gov. We update our site daily and it is a great resource to learn about constituent services, legislative updates and my work in Congress. I hope you will continue to utilize the website and let me know what you think about it.
