From the origins of the Cold War, there was a reflexive justification for every resort to force and terror, subversion and economic strangulation: the acts were undertaken in defense against what John F.
The Kofi Annan Dialogues. Quinoa granola bars. I don’t usually eat granola bars, I find them too sweet for my taste and I don’t like to eat food with an ingredient list that I can’t pronounce.
I do however like to make them at home where I can control what goes into them. These are full of toasted oats, quinoa, flax meal and chia seeds so they have a nice amount of protein in them. I like to toast the oats in butter before assembling them but you could substitute coconut oil instead. The butter adds a delicious nutty flavor to the bars and gives them great texture. I think of these as a sweet treat to replace an afternoon cookie or candy bar so I don’t mind the addition of the butter. Quinoa granola bars makes 12 Ingredients: 1 1/2 cups rolled oats3 tablespoons butter or coconut oil1/2 cup cooked quinoa1/4 cup flaxseed meal2 tablespoons chia seeds1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon1/2 teaspoon kosher salt1/2 cup chopped toasted hazelnuts1/2 cup honey1/3 cup peanut butter Method: Pre-heat the oven to 325 degrees.

A transition in petroleum's future?
As U.S.
President Barack Obama moves closer to a decision on the Keystone XL pipeline, the dire warnings about the future of Canada's petroleum resources are reaching a fever pitch. But alongside the familiar arguments about buying oil from friends instead of enemies (for the U.S.) and sustaining a cornerstone of the national economy (for Canada), there's a new line of attack that almost sounds perverse.
Sign up for our newsletter When Calgary Mayor Naheed Nenshi spoke up for Keystone [download podcast] on CBC's The House a couple of weeks ago, one of his more memorable arguments was that Canada has only a small window of opportunity to fully develop the Alberta oil sands before a decarbonizing energy system forces us to leave a great economic opportunity forever untapped.

I’ve always been a big supporter of the Jamaican attempt to “grow what you eat, eat what you grow.”
The slogan is the message of the Eat Jamaican campaign of the Jamaica Agricultural Society launched in 2003. It aims to promote food security in Jamaica by encouraging local production and consumption. Eating locally produced food is always a fantastic idea and when you think about the costs of energy and transportation and food waste internationally, it wasn’t a campaign that took long for me to accept.

A/CONF.166/9 Report of the World Summit for Social Development. The Ecosocialist - Blog. PublicationWebflyer. The least developed countries (LDCs) are a group of countries classified by the United Nations as least developed in terms of their low gross domestic product per capita, weak human assets and high degree of economic vulnerability.
The Least Developed Countries Report 2012 addresses the issues of remittance flows to LDCs and the potential role of diasporas in LDCs’ development. It argues that with the right policies and international support, LDCs could enhance the benefits from remittances and the knowledge and know-how accumulated in their diasporas. Using evidence and policy lessons from other countries, the report shows how LDCs could better harness remittances and diaspora knowledge to build their productive capacities. Regarding LDCs’ recent economic performance, the Report argues that the uncertain global economic recovery continues to undermine the factors that enabled them to attain higher growth rates between 2002 and 2008.

The Value In Socially Responsible Investing - Investopedia.com. Once considered a niche area of investment practice, socially responsible investment (SRI) now embraces a wide investment audience that includes individuals, high net worth and otherwise, and institutions such as pension plans, endowments and foundations. Religious tenets, political beliefs, specific events and the broad remit of corporate responsibility (i.e. green investing, social welfare) all drive this investment practice.
Indeed, the professional association USSIF: The Forum for Sustainable and Responsible Investment, estimates in its "2010 Report on Socially Responsible Investing Trends" that around $3 trillion in assets under management subscribe to one or more of the aforementioned approaches to socially responsible investing.
