Discriminatory cap on social benefits found to be lawful/
SG & Ors (Previously JS & Ors), R (On the Application Of) v The Secretary of State for Work And Pensions [2014] EWCA Civ 156 (21 February 2014)
The UK Court of Appeal has held that a cap on housing benefits does not breach the rights of the child, the family or the right to freedom from discrimination. The cap was found to have a discriminatory impact upon women, particularly single mothers and mothers escaping domestic violence. The Court of Appeal considered the cap was justified in light of the legitimate aim of ensuring people return to work.
Facts and the legislation
The English Welfare Reform Act 2012 (the Act) and its regulations introduced a welfare 'cap' to ensure that people who receive government assistance do not receive more than a prescribed amount. Various types of assistance are included when calculating the cap, such as income support and carer's allowance. Other types of government assistance like the war pension, are not. The cap does not apply if a person, or a person and their partner, are entitled to working tax credits.
Essentially, the effect of the 'cap' was to reduce long term dependency on government welfare benefits and incentivise people to return to paid work. The government argued that any interference with the right to family life or the impact of the 'cap' on women generally, was justified and lawful because of important policy considerations in incentivising those on long term welfare benefits to return to work, and striking a fairer balance between the interests of tax paying working households and those on benefits.
The two claimants were mothers who received a housing benefit and had at least three dependent children living with them. One had been a victim of domestic violence. Both had their welfare benefit reduced as a result of the cap. The appellants argued that the cap discriminates against women, and particularly women subject to domestic violence.
The issues in dispute were whether the cap:
- Unlawfully discriminates against women and women who are victims of domestic violence under the European Charter of Human Rights (European Charter);
- Infringes the requirement of organisations to work towards what is in the best interests of children under the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC);
- Infringes against families and the right to family life under the European Charter; and
- If so, whether it was unlawful;
- Alternatively, whether it was unlawful at common law due to irrationality.
The Court's findings
Discrimination against women and women subjected to domestic violence
The Secretary of State for Welfare and Pensions did not dispute that the effect of the cap was to discriminate against women. The respondent submitted that the cap was intended to save money, break a dependence on government assistance, remove discrimination against married women and to incentivise welfare recipients to work. The Court of Appeal accepted these submissions and held that on balance the broad intention of the legislation justified the discrimination. While saving money was not sufficient justification for discriminating against women, achieving greater fairness between those who work and those who do not was perfectly legitimate.
The appellants submitted that the cap impacts particularly adversely on women subject to domestic violence. The Divisional Court was uncertain whether domestic violence would be encompassed in 'other status' and declined to look at this issue as the Government intended to amend the Regulations to meet some of the criticisms. The High Court agreed. The Court of Appeal did not disturb the High Court's reasoning.
Best interests of the child
The appellants submitted that because the State did not consider the best interests of the child as the first consideration when drafting the legislation, it had not given the rights of the child paramount consideration and had therefore breached the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. The Court of Appeal held that the order in which competing interests are evaluated and addressed during the legislative compilation process does not necessarily reflect the priority given to the interest. The Court of Appeal accepted the State's evidence that the interests of the child had been given adequate consideration - that is, they were a paramount consideration.
The right to family
The High Court had held that article 8 of the European Charter, the right to family, does not provide a positive right to be afforded housing. The ground of appeal rested on the assertion that welfare recipients would be unable to pay rent because of the cap, and that this could in turn lead to families becoming homeless. The impact of homelessness could lead to the separation of the family unit and isolation from social support networks. The Court of Appeal accepted that this separation was possible, if not likely, and that it was undesirable.
The Court of Appeal held that the real question to be determined was, 'what is the real or effective cause of the homelessness?' Was it the cap or something else? Ultimately the Court held that even though alternative accommodation may not be proximate to a family's current residence and that decisions of local authorities concerning housing are difficult to challenge, those considerations do not make the cap unlawful.
Further, the Court of Appeal acknowledged that even though there is no positive obligation to provide housing, such an obligation may arise in exceptional circumstances. The Court of Appeal concluded that it is premature and pessimistic to conclude that family life would not be able to continue under the cap and rejected that the cap infringed the right to family.
Irrationality of cap legislation
The Court of Appeal did not consider it necessary to spend much time reviewing the irrationality appeal ground, finding that the respondent had given adequate consideration to the legislation and had properly informed itself before drafting the legislation. The legislation was controversial and was debated in detail in Parliament. The cap was not irrational at common law.
Editor's note: This case was appealed to the UK Supreme Court and heard on 29 and 30 April 2014. It is currently awaiting judgment. As of 10 April 2014, women's refuges have been exempt from the benefit cap.
The decision is available at: http://www.bailii.org/ew/cases/EWCA/Civ/2014/156.html

These sugar-free freezer chocolate bars are my go to when I am eating chocolate – when you make them and find the right mixture for your taste buds they will be yours too The best is that you can add in any extra goodies such as caramel, goji berries, or all the superfoods in general.
I promise you will save money making your own chocolate too as raw vegan paleo sugar-free chocolate can run anywhere from $7-$12 per bar. This is also my staple recipe that I work all of for most of my recipes that call for chocolate. Perfect for just walking into the freezer and grabbing a quick treat.
Products I used & promo codes:
20% off all orders of Lakanto Raw Monk Fruit Sweetener (use promo code: MYTINYLAGUNA)
If you want this recipe to be just refined sugar-free no shame in adding in honey or maple syrup. I would start by adding 1/4 cup of either and add more if your taste buds want more.
Same goes if you want to use stevia if that is what you have on hand – start by adding 1/2 cup and adding more if you want even more.
*Pictured is the filling I made with a couple pureed dates & teaspoon of ghee for the caramel filling and pinch of sea salt for extra tasty gooey-ness. 😉
*I will only recommend products I passionately believe in & want you to know that when I make a recommendation, I may receive a referral fee.
- chocolate mold
- double broiler or glass pyrex bowl with pot to boil water in
- 1/2 Cup coconut oil
- 1/2 Cup cacao powder
- 1 Cup Golden Lakanto Raw Monk Fruit
- 3-6 drops of Lakanto Liquid Sweetener Drops (use MYTINYLAGUNA for 20% off)
- melt.
melt all of your chocolate ingredients into your glass bowl over a pot of boiling water and turn down the heat to low. (add more raw monk fruit sweetener if you want sweeter – or if you want less sweet just start by adding a half cup and build from there.
- pour into molds.
pour your chocolate into your chocolate molds. (I found mine off of amazon.)
- freeze & enjoy!
Freeze the molds overnight and the next day they will be ready to pop out – keep them frozen as they will melt at room temperature. Feel free to add any date caramel*, nuts, cacao nibs anyway you like it. 🙂 xo enjoy!

Email and server is back up..
I'm currently reconciling all the stuff between my laptop and new desktop setup. I don't think my laptop is going to survive much longer.
SamIam and I talked about the possibility of a dub for Spriggan Mark 2. That's all I'll mention at the moment on that.
I finished my final for one my classes, so things I've got more free time, which is one of the reasons why I'm setting up my desktop system; pce dev stuffs. In an attempt to get more organized, I'm going through and trying to make a list of all the wonderful things and possibilities of PCE stuffs that I want to do. I have a terrible time trying to keep track of all these things, so I need to organize them into a system. I tend to forget about things. It's not that I lose interest, but I forget and pick up other interesting stuffs.
Anyway, just an update. Also, if you come across anything that appears damaged (file wise) for my links, let me know.

Top Comics to Buy for January 2, 2019
By Zack Quaintance — Oh hey, would you look at that? We got the date for this piece right! Though, we'd be lying if we said it wasn't a challenge. Basically, the New Year has arrived folks! Bringing with it those always-confusing date problems that take place in writer's heads before we've fully adjusted.
Last week's post-Christmas crop of comics was pretty barren (although it wasn't without some great titles). This week's bunch is a bit better, at least in terms of volume. What's also great is that some of our favorite series from 2018—namely Action Comics and Immortal Hulk—have new installments! Pair that with the start of Jason Aaron's highly-anticipated run of Conan the Barbarian, and hey, maybe this year will be starting off special.
All that said, let's take a closer look!
Top Comics to Buy for January 2, 2019
Action Comics #1006
Writer: Brian Michael Bendis
Artist: Ryan Sook
Colorist: Brad Anderson
Letterer: Josh Reed
Publisher: DC Comics
Price: $3.99
The Red Cloud sets her sights on someone close to Superman, but how can the Man of Steel stop a villain he can't touch? As the invisible mafia controlling Metropolis' underworld steps more into the light, its leader finally stands revealed with a secret that will have massive implications for Superman and Clark Kent!
Why It's Cool: At this time last year, the vast majority of comic book fandom didn't even know which DC characters long-time Marvel writer Brian Michael Bendis would be taking over when he made the jump to DC. Fast forward to now, and it's almost hard to remember that Bendis didn't spend all of last year writing Superman stories. His work on the character has been (in my personal opinion) fantastic, and leading the way is the Daily Planet-heavy story taking place in Action Comics. It continues to build this week with an expanded look into corners of Metropolis that have rarely been seen, setting as it does some track for more major happenings later on in the year. Also, competition is fierce, but of all the top-tier artists Bendis has collaborated with since coming over to DC, I do believe that Ryan Sook is my favorite. This may be his last issue of Action Comics for the foreseeable future, but later this year he and Bendis will be collaborating on something larger, which is definitely something to keep an eye on. Oh, and speaking of last year: can you believe some yutz suggested Bendis was taking over Green Arrow? Absurd!
Conan the Barbarian #1
Writer: Jason Aaron
Artist: Mahmud Asrar
Colorist: Matthew Wilson
Publisher: Marvel Comics
Price: $4.99
From an age undreamed...hither came Conan the Cimmerian, black-haired, sullen-eyed, sword in hand, a thief, a reaver, a slayer, with gigantic melancholies and gigantic mirth, to tread the jeweled thrones of the Earth under his sandaled feet...Robert E. Howard's creation returns to comics, in an epic tale as only MARVEL could bring you! Conan's travels have brought him to the far reaches of the unkown, from his birthplace in Cimmeria to the kingdom of Aquilonia and all in between. As his fighting prowess allows him to carve his way through life, so too does it attract the forces of death! The all-new ages-spanning saga begins here, by writer Jason Aaron (THE MIGHTY THOR, STAR WARS) and artist Mahmud Asrar (UNCANNY X-MEN, ALL-NEW, ALL-DIFFERENT AVENGERS), as Conan's destiny is forever changed!
Why It's Cool: Jason Aaron has done absolutely incredible things with the Thor franchise, crafting what is currently the best years-long superhero run in all of comics. He just has a knack for the epic, nigh-biblical brutality inherent to norse mythology. And what, if any, comic book franchise just so happens to feel like a close cousin to norse mythology? That's right, Conan the Barbarian. Aaron takes the keys of that book with Conan the Barbarian #1, the first in a trio of new Conan comics from Marvel, who snagged the rights for the character last year. As Thor starts to wind down with this year's War of the Realms event, Aaron looks to start another all-time great stretch of comic book writing right here with this one.
Crowded #6
Writer: Christopher Sebela
Artist: Ro Stein
Inker: Ted Brandt
Colorist: Triona Farrell
Letterer: Cardinal Rae
Publisher: Image Comics
Price: $3.99
Trapped with the psychopathic streaming superstar Trotter on one side and all of Los Angeles carrying a weapon and a two-million-dollar-dream on the other, Charlie and Vita have only each other-and a few of the secrets they've been keeping from each other-to rely on for their survival.
Why It's Cool: There is no shortage of stories in comics right now that envision terrifying futures. Hell, there's no shortage of stories in comics right now that envision terrifying near futures. That said, Crowded has distinguished itself as one of the best, doing so with a mixture of big ideas and seasoned pacing moves from one of the best writers of creator-owned comics in the industry today: Christopher Sebela. Of the many excellent new Image Comics launched in 2018 (more on that next week...stay tuned!), this is one of the best.
Immortal Hulk #11
Writer: Al Ewing
Artist: Joe Bennett
Inker: Ruy Jose
Colorist: Paul Mounts
Letterer: Cory Petit
Publisher: Marvel Comics
Price: $3.99
Jackie McGee is in hell. Carl Creel is in hell. Walter Langkowski is in hell. Eugene Judd is in hell. Carl Burbank is in hell. Los Diablos is in hell. Shadow Base is in hell. New Mexico is in hell. Planet Earth is in hell. We are all in hell...
...and so is the IMMORTAL HULK.
Why It's Cool: As you may or may not find out in this week's forthcoming Best Comics of 2018, our committee of one absolutely loved Immortal Hulk last year, finding it to be a comic that both spoke to the essence of a classic character while pushing this franchise into novel new territories. This book, in other words, could do no wrong, and because of this, we're very much excited to see where it's all headed in the New Year. Based on preview text, that place is clearly hell, which, awesome.
The Walking Dead #187
Writer: Robert Kirkman
Artist: Charlie Adlard
Inker: Stefano Gaudiano
Gray Tones: Cliff Rathburn
Letterer: Rus Wooton
Publisher: Image Comics
Price: $3.99
Can Rick Grimes bring peace to the Commonwealth-or will he tear it apart?
Why It's Cool: Although the jury is still out on whether it's working, Robert Kirkman and Charlie Adlard are clearly trying to sophisticate and evolve the central metaphor at the heart of their long-running Walking Dead comic, perhaps to avoid the ironically slow death that seems to be afflicting the television show (what with the lead actor begging out, and everything). It remains to be seen, of course, whether they stick the landing, but the emotional heart of this current plotline is Michonne, and it's pretty well-done, so much so I find the book engaging in a way it hasn't felt since before Negan got put in that cage. There's a weird metaphor at work here too, wherein the governor of the town where everyone is content and cared for, yet class discrepancy runs wild, looks a whole lot like Hillary Clinton, which has the lasting effect of reminding us of simpler times with more understated political problems. Kirkman et. al clearly thought like most of us that she would win and are left holding the bag...if only they could bring back Negan, who, let's face it, is basically Trump.

"Ok, wait… Why are we going to Tasmania?"
Our flight from Adelaide to Hobart had barely levelled at cruising altitude when I turned to Taylor with the question. He looked across the aisle at Kate and Jonny, who were already slumped over their tray tables, sleeping off the night before.
He laughed, "I have no idea."
We may not have been sure why we'd decided on Tasmania, but after six months of studying abroad down under, we started running out of places to explore.

They noticed that every 25.34 days, the object, designated LRLL 54361, lets out a burst of light which travels through the surrounding dust and gas, lighting it up. The light echos through the gas cloud, looking as if it is moving outward from the center.
This is an extremely rare event — researchers have only seen it twice before. And this one is the most powerful yet. They aren't sure exactly what is causing the strobe-light effect, but think it could be an interaction between two new stars in the region.
The stars would be pulling material into their cores. Because of the way their gravity and orbits interact, the researchers think there are times when a large clump of this material grows between the stars, but eventually is sucked into one. This releases an explosion of radiation that lights up the gas and dust around it.
"This protostar has such large brightness variations with a precise period that it is very difficult to explain," study researcher James Muzerolle of the Space Telescope Science Institute, said in a statement from NASA.

Kobritz: Miami-Dade County suing Jeffrey Loria
Column: Beyond the Lines
Paul Beeston, a former executive of the Toronto Blue Jays and a chartered accountant in Canada, once tried to explain how businesses — including baseball teams — could engage in creative accounting. "I can turn a $4 million profit into a $2 million loss and get every national accounting firm to agree with me," he famously — and accurately — said.
Jeffrey Loria, who sold the Miami Marlins to a group that includes Derek Jeter in October, can relate to Beeston's comments.
On Friday, Miami-Dade County filed a 64-page lawsuit against Loria, accusing him of engaging in "self-serving and fuzzy math" designed "to deceive the public." Under the terms of an agreement signed in 2009, Loria agreed to pay a percentage of the profits on the sale of the Marlins to the county as partial reimbursement for the cost of building the team a new stadium.
When contacted by USA Today, Loria said, "I don't know anything about it, and I have no comment," in reference to the suit. "They (the county) can do whatever they want."
The county is upset after Loria claimed a $140 million loss on the $1.2 billion sale price of the Marlins. And they aren't the only ones crying foul. Emilio González, city manager of Miami, which also contributed to the financing of the Marlins' stadium, said the city plans to file its own suit against Loria. Both parties claim Loria is required to provide them with a detailed calculation, prepared by independent auditors, of the proceeds of sale. Instead, Loria's lawyers and accountants merely provided a five-page summary report, leaving the county and city unable to determine the accuracy of any deductions and expenses.
The summary statement is quintessential Loria. In an effort to convince the taxpayers of South Florida to build the team a shiny new stadium, Loria and his stepson, team president David Samson, pled poverty, claiming the team was losing money.
A year later a Deadspin article based on leaked financial statements detailed the finances of several MLB teams, including the Marlins. The article revealed the Marlins were one of the most profitable MLB teams in 2008, thanks to baseball's generous revenue-sharing provisions.
The revelations created additional backlash against Loria and Samson who were already on the defensive for a number of public relations missteps they committed after acquiring the Marlins in 2002. After winning the World Series in 2003, Loria proceeded to trade off his high-priced stars in an effort to reduce payroll.
Loria has been ripping off his partners and the fans ever since he parlayed a 24 percent investment in the Montreal Expos in 1999 into a 94 percent stake in three years, before abandoning the city. Why would anyone think he would suddenly change his stripes after making a financial windfall on the sale of the Marlins?

The Secret Is Self Mastery: Whose Your Mirror?
I was listening to Tim Ferriss's podcast last week (Epside #325: Lessons from Richard Branson, Tony Robbins, Ray Dalio, and Other Icons) and on it, the guests said two very important things:
Those who can't master themselves will find others who can master over them
You must never fool yourself and you yourself are the easiest person to fool - Richard Feynman
As an extension of that, I've been thinking a lot about how there are people who are mirrors in our lives that show us where we are being enslaved, what we are being enslaved to, or how we are being enslaved. When I say "enslaved" I mean, slaves to our own minds. How can we become better masters of our minds and ultimately, masters of our lives? Often, in our hearts, we already know what is best for us, but sometimes our minds wander and we choose to ignore our inner voice because the unknown that comes with NOT doing that thing is scary.
Mirrors, or people who we have really crappy experiences with, can either lead us astray or lead us back to what we know is true deep inside. They can be like a mirror, when the light shines on it, it can bounce in a new direction, leading you towards a person, thing, decision, that you wouldn't have known before this "mirror" came into your life.
Mirrors don't always have to be bad. They can also show us that we are on the right path, already making the decisions that lead us closer to our truth.
Marianne Williamson first introduced me to the concept of "acknowledging the mirrors who come into our lives". I've played around with this concept since then have continued to ask myself, "how is this person or circumstance an opportunity to look deeper inside of myself?"
Mirrors are an opportunity to pivot. We do it in start-ups all the time, so why not life?
Just this week, I've had quite a few mirrors come into my life. One example is of two people I spoke with this week. They reminded me of all the deeper truths I hold inside – that my dreams aren't crazy, I'm making the right personal choices, and that I'm doing all the right things to grow my work. One of these people is a woman who I recently met and now deeply respect. She is about a decade ahead of me. In her 20's, she led a similar life to the one I am now leading: spending time abroad, exploring the world of academia, running numerous projects abroad in her country of origin, facilitating spaces, helping people seek their sense of identity. She reminded me, once again, that life is not linear. It's a winding path and eventually, if we are patient, all the pieces that look disconnected and chaotic end up coming together.
Who are your mirrors? What have you learned from them?

Future Fit - Raising the Bar 2016
Raising The Bar Report 2016 - Future Fit Training are working with CIMSPA & ukactive to improve the standards of training in the health & Fitness industry
Raising The Bar Report 2016 - Future Fit Training are working with CIMSPA & ukactive to improve the standards of training in the health & Fitness industry
Our Raising the Bar 2016 report - compiled in partnership with ukactive and CIMSPA - shows beyond doubt a clear call from employers for the industry's personal training qualification standards to improve in a meaningful way to meet the shift in expectation and demand from today's changing customer base.
No longer is the industry simply working with healthy people looking to get fit: today's trainers are increasingly asked to work with special populations and children and tasked to helped deliver on NHS, government and Sport England policies. The customer demand has changed dramatically over recent years but the training of professionals has not, resulting in a workforce that is ill-equipped to help people bring about sustainable improvements to their health and wellbeing.
Our 2016 Raising the Bar report was unveiled at the ukactive Summit in London on November 9, 2016 by Rob Johnson, managing director of Future Fit Training. The survey set out to identify the ability, readiness and confidence of employers and their employees to deliver the high standard of training and counsel needed, especially among special populations and children whose health needs remain under the spotlight.
"This vital research explores how leading sector employers are navigating this landscape on the front line and looks at what specific steps can be taken at the national level to equip fitness staff with the technical knowledge and customer engagement skills needed to make getting active fun, easy and a permanent lifestyle change," says Steven Ward, ukactive Executive Director. "As government, Sport England and CIMSPA work together to develop a new workforce strategy for the sector, the views of employers must remain central. Those who pay the bill must set the terms and pace of the debate," he says.
It was felt that influential bodies and professional organisations have the knowledge and tools to equip personal trainers and fitness professionals with the necessary skills and confidence to bring about sustainable change to the health of the nation. The report revealed an overwhelming commitment to CIMSPA by employers who recognise it is the only organisation capable of delivering the unified, long-term strategy required with 91% of employers working with CIMSPA, or planning to do so in the next 12 months.
Raising the Bar 2016 is published at a time of change in the industry including the formal backing of CIMSPA from both government and Sport England to develop a new workforce strategy for physical activity. With several more changes expected in 2017, alongside the introduction of the new Apprenticeship Levy on May 1, 2017, the industry is undergoing extensive strategic reorientation of the sector's ambitions for a professional and competent workforce.
"I'm delighted that Future Fit Training and ukactive have invited CIMSPA to introduce the latest Raising the Bar report," says Tara Dillon, CIMSPA CEO. "This evidence base helps CIMSPA focus on ensuring the skills requirements identified filter through to the training, CPD and qualifications ecosystem we are building. Although the report rightly highlights our sector's skills gaps, I'm confident that the increasing momentum of our work will help address these challenges," she says.
Setting higher standards of training and bringing all Level 3 Personal Training qualifications in line with the exacting CIMSPA Personal Training Trailblazer Apprenticeship standard is widely welcomed by operators with:
"Raising the Bar sets out to consistently raise awareness of the work-readiness of newly qualified fitness professionals and outlines specific steps we can take to embed the highest level of quality in the sector's training and development practices," says Rob Johnson, Future Fit Training Founder and Managing Director. "This includes the importance of working with CIMSPA to develop a minimum assessment strategy, ensure momentum is not lost with the Physical Activity Trailblazer and, for the first time, to review the sector's awareness of children's fitness qualifications and to see they are fit for purpose."
The current personal training standards have changed little since they were introduced around nine years ago. In that time, however, the number of people presenting at the gym with medical conditions – such as obesity, heart disease and diabetes – has increased dramatically. The call on the leisure sector from the NHS and government to help address the crisis in the nation's health, including childhood obesity, is loud and clear. However:
Operators said only 57% of staff currently working with children hold a children's fitness qualification and the following were identified as the key skills gaps among fitness staff delivering children's activities:
A clear demand is there for children's activity provision with a recent emphasis on children's health in several government strategies to tackle childhood inactivity, Sport England's Towards an Active Nation the Childhood Obesity Plan and ukactive Kids' own policies. Investment commitments are there too with funding pools being created including ringfencing of the Primary PE and Sport Premium. "Activity professionals working with children must be adequately trained to deliver effective activity sessions and classes but they must also qualify with all the necessary skills to make being physically active safe, easy and, most important, enjoyable," says Dean Horridge, Chair, ukactive Kids. "Staff must have the necessary communication skills to engage with children from all backgrounds and at all levels of ability and to inspire children to adopt an active, healthy lifestyle which can last a lifetime."
In June 2018 Future Fit Training released their latest Raising the Bar report, read the latest findings from the health and fitness industry here.

Could you please tell us if the issue is when you try to print out the form from the form itself or when you try to do so from the Submissions Panel?

Hi, we click on the inbox and when the form comes up. click the icon of the printer. It then says print preview failed and will not allow us to print the response. Thanks!
- BenAnswered on January 13, 2015 at 06:20 PM
Hi David,
Usually when a print preview fails something is not right with printer. I have tested it out on my side and it is working properly for me.
Can you please try using FireFox instead and see if that causes the same issues? I suggest FireFox since it is not based on webkit engine as Google and Safari are.
If the issue is still there, please try opening a document and to preview it as if you are going to print it to see if it allows you to do so and if it does, then we can role out the issue being caused by the printer.
Best Regards,
- presentechAnswered on January 15, 2015 at 10:43 AM
Hi Ben
You're right. We can print using Explorer on a PC or Firefox on a Mac or PC, so the issue is Safari and Chrome. But, it looks like we can also just click on "submissions" and print from there using any browser, so this is the easiest fix. Thanks for your help - problem solved!
- BenAnswered on January 15, 2015 at 11:35 AM
Great to know that it is working for you like that and thank you for updating us.
Please do let us know if you have any further questions or need some assistance and we would be happy to assist.

Characteristics Of Perfect And Imperfect Markets
Market is a place where the buyers and sellers make transactions regarding goods and services. Depending on time, competition and extent of area, markets are classified into several types. On the basis of competition markets are classified into perfect markets and imperfect markets.
Perfectly competitive Markets:
Perfectly competitive market is one which consists of large number of buyers and sellers, uniform price and homogeneous commodities. No single buyer or seller is able to exercise control over the price of a commodity. The price of a commodity is same throughout the market. The following are the characteristics of perfect markets or perfectly competitive markets.
Characteristics of perfect markets:
1) There exists a large number of buyers and sellers. Each buyer buys a main portion of the whole stock of commodities. Similarity each seller sells a negligible portion of the whole stock of commodities. They have no influence over the determination of the price.
2) There prevails homogeneous commodities. The quantity and quality of commodities available in the market are the same. No differences are observed in the size, quality, taste of the Commodities.
3) Both the buyers and sellers will know the prices prevalent in the market. Neither of them can increase or decrease the price of a commodity. So the price line of a perfectly competitive market runs parallel to OX axis.
4) There exists no obstacles for the firms to enter or leave the industry. New firms enter the industry when there are huge profits. Old firms leave the industry when there are huge losses.
5) There exists no transport costs. As a result the price of the commodity is same at any place in the market.
6) Factors of production are freely mobile. They move from one industry to the other until they get higher remunerative prices for their services.
Distinction between pure competition and perfect competition:
'Pure' competition is a word introduced by Prof. Chamberlain. Pure competition is said to prevail when there exists large number of buyers and sellers, homogeneous commodities and freedom of admission into and exit of firms from an industry. In addition to these features perfect competition includes perfect knowledge of prices, free mobility of factors of production, absence of transport costs and uniform price as its features.
Both pure and perfect competitions are the two ideal concepts which can't be found in real world. What we observe in reality is the prevalence of imperfect competition.
Imperfect Competition:
Imperfect competition consists of the features which are opposite to perfect competition. It has some special features.
Characteristics of imperfect markets:
1) There exists a small number of sellers in 'this market. This enables the sellers to charge the prices as they like.
2) The number of buyers is also small. But its does not mean that buyers are few. The buyers in this market system are divided into several groups. Each group buys goods and services from different sellers.
3) The commodities bought and sold in this market are heterogeneous. They differ in their size, quality, appearance, tastes and durability.
4) The sellers adopt product differentiation and price discrimination. They collect different prices for the same commodity from different buyers.
5) There exists transport costs and selling costs in this market.
6) The consumers may not know the prevailing prices of the commodities in the market.
7) The factors of production are not freely mobile.
8) There prevails different prices for the same commodity in the same region.
Thus, imperfect competition consists of the features which are quite opposite to the perfect competition.

Family Violence Prevention Month
November is Family Violence Prevention Month
Family violence continues to affect the lives of many New Brunswickers. Violence does not belong in our homes or in our relationships. Eliminating family violence is not a task for one government, one community, one organization or one individual. Together, we must continue to promote education and awareness programs of family violence to ensure that the people we care most about have a safe place to live.
Premier Brian Gallant, who is also the minister responsible for women's equality, signed a declaration designating November as Family Violence Prevention Month in New Brunswick. From left: Rebecca Francis, executive director of the Muriel McQueen Fergusson Foundation; Gallant; and Tim McCluskey, president of the foundation.

Nick Lamb was home alone and not wearing his hearing aids when the fire broke out at his Indianapolis home about 1pm on Wednesday. "My dog licked my face and woke me up. I was like, 'Stop it! What? You want to be fed?'," the teen said.
"I thought he wanted to be fed or go outside." But the dog named Ace continued to lick Nick until he finally got up and realised the house was full of smoke. He said: "I couldn't hear anything because I had my cochlear implants off. … My dog Ace smelled it.
"I just wanted to get out." Nick said he covered his nose and mouth with his T-shirt and darted out the back door with Ace by his side. His mother, Lindsay Bernard, credited the dog with saving her son.
She said: "It's amazing, because if he wouldn't have been there, he probably wouldn't have even woke up." The family cat, Pixie, was treated for smoke inhalation and is expected to recover, firefighters said. Nick, who was born deaf, told firefighters that this was the first summer he was old enough to stay home alone. He said that he had returned from summer camp just three days earlier.

Those who know me will know that when it comes to the British Heart Foundation, I'm always happy to help in any way I can. This weekend has provided to perfect opportunity – event photography of guests arriving at a fundraising dinner on Friday night.
The Millstone at Mellor is a great restaurant and was the perfect venue for a top-notch dinner event for over ninety guests. My role was to photograph them looking at their finest in their posh frocks as they mingled at the start of the evening. Young magician Harrison was on site to baffle them with sleight of hand along with musician's Emjay to perform through the evening.
There's a Gallery of Images on my website, but look out for their pictures in the local society magazines – that's the next step!
The rest of the weekend took on an exciting turn too with an impromptu invitation to photograph at local company Forrest's 60th anniversary celebrations. After a damp start to the day the clouds parted and sun shone down onto their event – guests were able to emerge from the shelter of their big top teepee to enjoy all the fun of the fair, live bands, real ales and food. All in all a splendid affair – and an awesome weekend.
Next week follows a similar theme of event photography. This time catching up with old friends from St Ambrose Barlow School in Liverpool – the last two years have been awesome, photographing their portraits and printing on site for them to take home with them – can't wait to do it all again!

Outdoor Edit // Happy Birthday, Dad
It's my dad's birthday tomorrow, so this is my early happy birthday to him post. My dad, if you haven't already read something about him, is super rad, and the reason I got into triathlon in the first place, since he raced before I was born. He's always been a huge supporter of everything I do, and so for his birthday this year, my sister, Peter, my mom and I endeavored to surprise him. And we really did! I also want to note that I was entirely too slammed with the whole getting-married thing to wish my amazing mom a happy birthday on here (her birthday is now my anniversary, which is pretty cool!), but I am ridiculously lucky to have two incredible parents.
OK, enough of that… Let's talk cool stuff!
Love this // OK, this was dad's birthday present and I think it was a good one. When I surprised him with it, I think he almost cried, and all he had to say was that it was 'pretty f-ing awesome.' I'm talking, of course, about the ultra-cool Trek Stache, a plus-bike that can be converted for regular 29-er tires. It's burly enough for dad while still being reasonable as a mountain bike, not as a baby fat bike. We had one ride together since he got it, along with his MTB crew, and we had a fantastic time. Excited to see how he improves on it!
Try this // I talked about this at women's night at Revolution Cycles in Madison last night, but I challenge anyone reading this to bring a new rider on a one-on-one ride. We were talking about how to get women to come to women's only rides, because the woman who runs the ones here says she often has women interested, but too nervous to actually show up. I suggested an informal mentorship program, and the more I talked about it, the more I was into it. So, let's start grassroots-style and do it in our own hometowns by bringing a newbie out on the bike. You might make a new best friend!
Read this // I absolutely love stories about young women doing rad stuff (so inspiring!), and this New Yorker piece, "The Wall Dancer," about 14-year-old Ashima Shiraishi's rise to bouldering fame and dominance is absolutely worth the read.
Ashima seems to view climbing as a venue for accomplishment rather than as a ground for adventure. "Climbing used to be for the misfits who couldn't catch a ball or the small kids like me who got cut from the baseball team," Lowell said. "Now it's for élite athletes. They're trying to perform a perfect ten." It's a particularly unromantic strain of rock ratting; the wild allure—wandering the continent, living out of a car—has been bred out of it. Or perhaps, for Ashima, it's just down the road.
Before You Go // ICYMI, we signed up for Ironman because we are insane. We're in the middle of a crazy travel block, so apologies for any radio silence on here, but back soon—and with a bunch of new talks on the schedule! In the midst of cyclocross and planning a book launch (and testing new material and finalizing Saddle, Sore new edition!). Busy time, but that's how we love it!

Update: A tweet from Nintendo's main Twitter account has clarified that Fire Emblem will launch for both Android and iOS on the quoted date of February 2. Hooray!
Original story: Nintendo is following quickly behind the launch of Super Mario Run with another mobile title from its coveted IP. Instead of focusing on turning a popular game into a weird, single-hand mobile spin, we're getting a strategy game backed by a rich heritage. The next game will be Fire Emblem: Heroes, and based on current information it seems like iOS will be getting it first once again — thankfully Android won't be far behind, if at all.
Fire Emblem isn't one of the Nintendo franchises that sets the whole world ablaze like Zelda, Mario, or even Kirby, but its following is still massive. Bringing this world to mobile as a grid-style strategy game makes a lot of sense, as these games typically encourage users to sit and play for hours on end. What Heroes brings to mobile is an impressive online component, allowing you to put your armies against your friends to see which is the better tactical mind.
Nintendo has set a February 2 launch date for Fire Emblem: Heroes on Android, which seems to be later than the launch of "soon" for iOS simply based on Nintendo's history of making hitting Apple's platform a priority — expect Apple to have the exclusive for just a bit, but thankfully it won't be months this time around. Like before, you can pre-register to grab the game from its Play Store listing right here.

Most people are impressed by size. Specifically, large manmade or natural wonders, large statues or artwork, large bank accounts or net worth, large customer bases or revenues will all make the news in a positive light.
Unfortunately, when it comes to cybercrime, we all gasp when we see large numbers affected by a new breach, and secretly sigh with relief as we discover it hasn't affected us. But is it only a matter of time before you are included when the breach size encompasses you?
Score one more for the cybercriminal team. As you have probably heard by now, Marriott is the latest to face the court of public shame with the announcement that their loyalty rewards program database was breached and exposed the personal information for over 500 million people. Kaya Yurieff reported at CNN that:
"Marriott — which owns Starwood hotels such as the St. Regis and the Westin — on Friday disclosed that the Starwood guest reservation system had been hacked, in a breach dating back to 2014.
For 327 million people, Marriott says, the exposed information includes names, phone numbers, email addresses, passport numbers and dates of birth. For millions of others, credit card numbers and card expiration dates were potentially compromised. This kind of information could be used to steal your identity and open bank accounts, credit cards or loans in your name."
For those of you keeping score, this breach is actually the second biggest in history. The largest being Yahoo's announcement last year that 3 billion accounts among several of its brands were compromised.
It didn't take long for the lawsuits to begin. Hours after the breach was made public a number of people began class-action suits seeking restitution for the 500 million people whose personal information was compromised. Catalin Cimpanu reported on ZDNet that "Marriott sued hours after announcing data breach" and went on to say:
"While plaintiffs in the Maryland lawsuit didn't specify the amount of damages they were seeking from Marriott, the plaintiffs in the Oregon lawsuit want $12.5 billion in costs and losses.
This should equate to $25 for each of the 500 million users who had their personal data stolen from Marriott's servers in the breach announced last week, on Friday."
But the problems for Marriott don't stop with lawsuits. It seems that government probes are also now on the table according to a Forbes article titled "Revealed: Marriott's 500 Million Hack Came After A String Of Security Breaches:"
"Marriott's security is now facing probes from multiple government bodies, including the New York Attorney General's office. European regulators like the UK information commissioner, who have the ability to fine companies significant sums with the power of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), are also looking into the incident."
We have discussed the expensive nature of remediating cyber breaches in the past and suggest you review a past blog here.
In order to ensure safe content, you will need a cyber security strategy based on tools that won't miss zero-day attacks and can't be evaded by smart cyber criminals. You should evaluate static analysis-based technologies which are faster, more accurate, not OS version dependent and covers 100% of your code, with complete visibility.
Using deep inspection and analysis methods that make no assumptions on threat heuristics or behavior and assumes that there is no legitimate reason for executable code to be present in a data file, these technologies can interpret and detect code in real time and immediately block threats from penetrating your organization.
Bottom line: you will finally have safe content and without the expense of remediation.

Introducing the children's book: You, Me and Empathy/
You, Me and Empathy: Teaching children about empathy, feelings, kindness, compassion, tolerance and recognising bullying behaviours
A children's book written by Jayneen Sanders and illustrated by Sofia Cardoso.
One of the most important social skills a child can learn is empathy. Being able to understand how another person is feeling and recognizing their needs helps people to connect to one another across race, culture and the diversity that is ever-present and so important to our world.
This charming story uses verse, beautiful illustrations and a little person called Quinn to model the meaning of empathy. Throughout the story, Quinn shows an abundance of understanding, compassion and kindness towards others. Showing empathy towards others is a learnt trait, and one to nurture and cherish with the children in our care.
Also included are Discussion Questions for parents, caregivers and educators, and suggested activities to promote empathy and kindness.

Plea to Principals/
Dear Principals of Elementary and Primary Schools, and Directors of Kindergartens
As a principal or director of a school or kindergarten, you are in a very powerful position to make a massive difference to the lives of the children in your care. Body Safety Education taught at your institution could literally change the course of a child's life.
Firstly here are some *statistics (sources below). Did you know …
• 20% of girls and 8% of boys will be sexually abused before their 18th birthday. Think about this statistic in terms of a class of 30 kids at your school. That is approximately 3 girls and 1 boy will be sexually abused before 18.
• In 85 to 90% of cases, the sexual offender is known to the child. Child sexual abusers are in our homes, schools and communities. They are not only grooming children, they are grooming the adults who care for them.
• The most vulnerable age for children to be exposed to sexual assault is between 3 and 8 years. We need to start prevention education early!
• 1 in 3 adults would not believe a child if they disclosed sexual abuse. We not only need to educate our kids, we need to educate the community to believe a child's disclosure.
• We know that in 98% of reported child sexual abuse cases, children's disclosures were found to be true. Children do not lie about sexual abuse.
The tragic aftermath of child sexual abuse can have horrific and life-changing consequences. But what I want to tell you is that prevention education is actually incredibly easy. It is age-appropriate and empowering. Principals and directors such as yourselves and your staff have the ability to change the statistics I have quoted. Choosing to teach Body Safety Education to the children in your care can change outcomes for children.
If you are holding back because you are worried that parents won't support this type of education, than I think you are wrong. In my experience, through social media and feedback from my work, parents are on board! With every second news story about historical child sexual abuse, this younger generation of parent is very keen for the past never to be repeated.
I know your curriculum is crowded but with simple professional development teachers can teach Body Safety; two, 30-minute lessons over five weeks is all it takes to impart this crucial knowledge to children. I know! I've done it in my own classroom.
Adults are 100% responsible for educating kids in Body Safety. And they are 100% responsible for educating themselves about child sexual abuse. Child sexual abusers are 100% responsible for sexually abusing a child.
We, as teachers, are in a privileged position to work with kids and help protect them. We can do this! Please don't let our adult fear of this topic put our kids at risk. Our children are looking to us for protection. I am not a survivor of child sexual abuse. I am just a concerned teacher and parent who believes we can do so much more for our kids.
So next time you are at assembly and you see all those gorgeous faces looking up at you, please think about those statistics. And please implement a Body Safety program at your educational institution. Body Safety Education taught at your school or kindergarten could literally change the course of a child's life. Please help me and other advocates like me. We are asking you to be as passionate about protecting children from child sexual abuse as we are. Please contact me through www.e2epublishing.info if you need more information.

Today we are going to fix a bug I found in updating ImageFlow, going from version 1.2.1 to 1.3. The new version is intended to solve, among other things, the problem that was in Internet Explorer when there was only one image in the gallery. The problem was that nothing was showed if only we had a picture in the gallery in IE. Well, version 1.3 already displays the picture if we only have one, but if that image also has a caption, it turns out that the caption is not shown, nor Internet Explorer or any other browser . Well, here is the solution for those wishing to fix the bug (and are brave enough) and want to get their hands on the code of the library.
Fixing the bug
To solve the problem we have to open the file imageflow.js we find in the .zip file that we have downloaded. Let's go to the line 526 approximately where we found the following code block:
/* Only animate if there is more than one image */ if(my.max > 1) { my.glideTo(my.imageID); }
In this code block, the author checks for more than one image, in which case it calls a function that among other things, sets the caption to the current image (my.imageID). Well, to this if block we simply need to add an else block where we look at the case where there is not more than one image (ie exactly 1). The entire block should be something like this:
... /* Only animate if there is more than one image */ if(my.max > 1) { my.glideTo(my.imageID); } else { var caption = my.imagesDiv.childNodes[my.imageID].getAttribute('alt'); if (caption === '' || my.captions === false) { caption = ' '; } my.captionDiv.innerHTML = caption; } ...
Thus, although we only have one image, we make sure that the image has a corresponding caption. I have advised the author about this little glitch and hopefully take it into account for the next update.
So that, I hope this post has been helpful!

Montag Manufacturing grew out of the original patented idea for the unique air chambers of its founder and president, Roger Montag, in 1986. The need for a better cart to carry the dry fertilizer units soon led to the introduction of the unique auto steerable carts. As interest in the cart and the meter made with the unique air chambers increased, it became clear that the time had come to set up the family business and start selling the cart and meter. So, in 2005 they incorporated the family business as Montag Manufacturing, Inc. and started selling products to the farming industry.
Montag Manufacturing continues to introduce technology into the farming industry through its recent announcement of a tracked version of its unique auto steer carts. These tracked carts are built on a sturdy 12 ton frame and still keep the ability to be easily pulled and backed up that Montag Auto Steerable carts are known for.
Whether it is a highly efficient dry fertilizer unit, a liquid unit or a unique auto steerable cart, for precision fertilizer application technology – make it Montag.

An Anthology
Edited by Naomi K. Lewis and Rona Altrows
Pages: 160 Size: 5.25x8.75
"We're not exactly scene-stealers, so you don't hear much from us shy folk-and that's usually how we like it." -Elizabeth Zotova, "My Dear X"
Except in this anthology. Its pages are filled with personal essays and poems of thoughtful musings, raw memories, and humorous self-examinations by authors and poets who have been labelled by the world-teachers, parents, and peers-as shy. Here, they proudly own up to their shyness, and their message is clear: they don't need to be "cured"! Why should they, when nearly half of North Americans consider themselves shy? Editors Naomi K. Lewis and Rona Altrows have enlisted writers from across the continent and have created a moving anthology that will appeal to all, either because we are shy or because we know someone who is.

By Steve Tepper, CFP®, MBA
On August 1, Elon Musk made what one analyst deemed "maybe the most valuable apology of all time."
A few months ago, on Tesla Corporation's quarterly conference call with Wall Street analysts, Musk, Tesla's rock star CEO and co-founder, was a bit testy, at one point blasting "boring, bonehead questions." Following that call, the price of Tesla stock plunged.
Fast-forward three months to the August call, and Musk struck a more conciliatory tone. "My apologies for not being polite on the prior call," he said. The analysts seemed satisfied, and shares of Tesla spiked more than 16% the next day.
My back-of-the-envelope calculation says that the move added about $8.2 billion to the company's value. $8.2 billion! With that kind of money, you could build five-and-a-half Yankee Stadiums (but for the love of God, why would you?).
The purported purpose of a quarterly conference call is for a company to talk with analysts about their business results (you know, trivial stuff like whether they made money or lost it) and explain how the company is doing and what to expect in the future. That's why it's generally referred to as the earnings and guidance call.
On Tesla's August call, the earnings and guidance portion of the call seemed no different from every other Tesla quarterly call. The company announced a worse loss than expected ($3.06 per share vs. expectations of $2.92) and then proclaimed they would soon turn a profit (something Tesla has never done).
Then what drove Tesla stock from $300 per share to almost $350? Must've been that apology. KeyBank analyst Brad Erickson said: "Elon Musk apologized multiple times for his inappropriate behavior on last quarter's call … and the CEO worked to restore faith and credibility with investors that he can be a plus to the investment narrative, not a minus."
Erickson is the analyst who called it "maybe the most valuable apology of all time." In monetary terms, it's hard to argue with, as the company increased in value in one day by more than the entire GDP of Moldova.
Vitaliy Katsenelson of Advisor Perspectives maybe isn't as impressed with the value of Musk's contrition. In an article published the next day (which I concede may have been written and submitted before the August 1 call), he said Tesla stockholders should be asking these questions:
- How sound is Tesla's balance sheet? Katsenelson points out that Tesla loses billions of dollars every year and has incurred a lot of debt. Tesla's recent attempt to squeeze its suppliers to lower its costs was seemingly a recognition of its financial jeopardy.
- What happened to 345,000 reservations? Katsenelson says that 400,000 people paid $1,000 apiece to reserve a place in line for Tesla's new Model 3, which was to be offered at $35,000. He estimates that, to date, Tesla has delivered 55,000 cars, but the price ended up starting at $49,000, not $35,000.
Now, Katsenelson has learned, Tesla is advertising that the Model 3 is available in the U.S with no reservation. With current production at less than 3,000 units per week, Tesla would need about two years or a miracle to fulfill all of those prior orders, unless a whole lot of people canceled their reservations (and drained the company's balance sheet of upward of $345 million in interest-free deposits).
- How effective is Musk at running Tesla? While respectful of Musk's many talents and accomplishments, Katsenelson lists recent confidence-destroying erratic behavior from Musk (and didn't even mention the previous quarter's conference call). Musk threatened a lawsuit against an investor who published negative research and called a diver who helped rescue a cave-trapped Thai soccer team a "pedo" (shorthand for pedophile, we assume) after the diver criticized him.
Katsenelson believes that Tesla's value (and stock price) should be based on the company's fundamentals: its balance sheet, sales (and canceled sales) numbers, and strength of management. And here are some other people who believe that: everyone who has ever taken a basic class in economics. So that would include, for example, me.
If short-term capital markets actually adhered to some basic rules of logic, there might be value to using fundamental analysis to determine which companies you should invest in. Probably not, but maybe. But when a company's value can make an $8 billion swing based on insults and apologies, stock picking is far too risky a game to play.

EARRINGS | GO BIG OR GO HOME – Fall Edition
It's never too much to talk about big earrings, specially now when we have so many nice options available. We wore big stunning earrings during summer and we will keep wearing them during the next season. However, this time, the bright colours are replaced by dark and earthy tones.
I made a selection on Anthropologie as they have unique and stunning earrings, but you can always find cheaper models at Parfois, Mango and H&M. However, if you're looking to spend a little bit more and get something with more quality, you should check the jewellery designer Carolina Curado.

What a fun trip you had! That class sounds amazing and looks like you can out with some amazing recipes.
My full Vermont travel post will be coming up next week, but for now I wanted to share a bit about our special time at the King Arthur Flour HQ, taking a New England Desserts baking class, including an adaption of one of the recipes we learned, Blackberry Buckle Cake. So as we were in the plane getting ready to head out to Vermont, I posted on Facebook that we were traveling back East and although we had a pretty good idea of what we wanted to do, I asked for recommendations of anything else that may be missing from the "must do" list. A reader keyed me into King Arthur Flour and indicated that it was a highlight not to be missed. So our first night in town as we were sitting at dinner and figuring out our itinerary for the next day, I looked up KAF and saw they were less than an hour away from where we were staying. On a whim I decided to look up their class schedule, and was surprised to see they offered baking classes 7 days a week, and they just happened to have 2 spots left for their New England Desserts class happening the next day, which was a Sunday. So Taylor and I signed up and oh my gosh we had such a great time baking together for 3 hours and I learned so much because I bugged the instructor with all the baking questions I could think of. I learned so much in fact that I think my enhanced knowledge should go in a completely separate blog post titled "Everything I Learned at the King Arthur Flour Baking School." For now though let's get straight into the recipe.So a buckle is basically a crumble, but the moist cake is so loaded down with fruit that the crumbly top "buckles" under the weight. You can also see big nice pockets of fruit when you slice into the cake, and because of the coffee-cake like crumble top, it works just as well for breakfast alongside some scrambled eggs and a cup of coffee (or milk), as it does for dessert. For a full run down on the differences between all the typical New England style desserts, visit this handy guide in My Recipes.A buckle is often made with blueberries, and that's exactly how we made it in baking school, but the instructor assured us that this cake works well with just about any dessert, especially berries and stone fruits. I would assume that apples may be the only fruit it may not pair as well with, since the apples may be a bit too dry thanks to their enhanced pectin content over most other fruits (thanks KAF baking school for teaching me that little nugget ;). I decided to make mine back home with blackberries because our farmer's market was overflowing with containers of gorgeous, juicy blackberries last week. They worked beautifully with this cake and it was gone in under 48 hours. The main enhancement I made to the recipe besides switching out the fruits, was increasing the amount of crumble topping so there was more of it to enjoy. Not at all a bad move on my part. Other than that I followed the recipe as we learned it in class and it was full proof. I hope you enjoy it and you most likely have all the ingredients on hand to make it to enjoy over the weekend. Keep in mind that you can also use frozen fruit, just make sure the fruit is defrosted (and drained a bit if need be) before adding to the cake batter. Enjoy, and please let me know if you make it! If you share it on social, use the tag #howewedobaking so I can see your creation!
And so that you don't miss a post, make sure to sign up for my newsletter, which goes out just once a week on Fridays!Print
Easy Blackberry Crumble Recipe
This traditional New England cake is made with fresh blackberries but can be made using any fruit! Delicious, quick and easy, this is a yummy new family favorite everyone loves! Adapted from King Arthur Flour
- Prep Time: 15 mins
- Cook Time: 40 mins
- Total Time: 55 mins
- Yield: 8 1x
- Category: Dessert
- Cuisine: American
- For the Batter:
- 57 grams (1/4 cup) unsalted butter, room temp
- 160 grams (3/4 cup) sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 large egg, room temp
- 227 grams (2 cups) KA Unbleached All-Purpose Flour
- 118 grams (1/2 cup) milk, room temp
- 340 grams (2 cups) blackberries, fresh or frozen
- For the Topping:
- 70 grams sugar
- 70 grams all purpose flour
- 1.5 tsp ground cinnamon
- 70 grams unsalted butter, room temp
- Directions for the batter:
- Preheat oven to 375
- Spray 9″ cake pan with non-stick spray and line bottom with parchment paper
- In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together the butter, sugar, baking powder, salt, and vanilla on medium-high speed until well combined and there are no butter clumps remaining.
- Add the egg, mixing to combine, making sure to scrape the paddle and sides of bowl well.
- Alternately add the flour and milk to the butter mixture, starting and ending with flour. Mix just until combined.
- Gently fold in the blackberries.
- Transfer the batter to the prepared pan and now make the topping.
- Directions for the topping:
- Combine sugar, flour and cinnamon in a medium bowl, rubbing everything together with your fingers until it reaches a crumbly state.
- Sprinkle the topping evenly over the batter and bake for 40-45 minutes until a cake tester comes out clean.
For the crumble topping: The more you rub the ingredients together, the darker the topping will become as the butter takes on the color of the sugar and cinnamon, and it will stick together quite well in large clumps. Working it together till it reaches this stage will deliver those large crumbly chunks that are so delicious. The less time you mix together, the less crumbly it will be and the smaller your chunks will be. In my book, large crumble chunks = better 🙂
