Variable Annuitization
For people searching for ways to save for retirement, aside from 401k plan or an IRA may opt to invest in an annuity. The term annuity provides all the benefits of a taxed-deferred growth as well as professional money management. It may be fixed, meaning, the investor will receive a guaranteed variable or a rate of return that introduces an investment risk element as well as the possibility of greater returns.
Basically, an annuity is a means or a financial instrument which is sold by many insurance companies where the purchaser of the annuity, better known as annuitant, offers regular payments to the prior company over a span of time referred to as accumulation period. This accumulation period can last for long even until the annuitant reaches his or her retirement age.

Severe weather warning for drivers
Following the deaths of a young woman driver in Hexham, Northumberland and a 36-year-old man from Scotland, motorists are being warned that high winds can cause extremely dangerous driving conditions.
Both drivers died when trees fell onto their cars during the unusually high winds for the time.
Meteorologists said that parts of Scotland had suffered gusts of up to 114 mph in the storms, while gusts of around 65mph were felt in Yorkshire.
Michael Dukes, Forecast Manager for Meteogroup, said, “The high winds that have been battering Scotland, Ireland and the far north of England today are about as strong as you ever get in late May.
“These wind speeds would be noteworthy in midwinter, but for them to occur in late spring is really most unusual.
“Indeed, with trees in full leaf, winds of this strength can cause a great deal of problems as trees can be more readily toppled.”
And I have to say that as I drove my little Fiat down the leafy lanes along the South Coast recently I did wonder how safe it was to be driving under the bending boughs which seemed so noisy above me.
So, our advice is, if it’s windy out, don’t drive unless you have to, and if your journey is urgent, be aware of overhanging trees – maybe plan a route which does not go through forested areas, or at the very least be vigilant when driving under trees in high winds.
Stay safe whenever you drive – weather kills!

Broken biogeochemical cycle of phosphorus will impact food security
Should the periodic table bear a warning label in the 21st century or be revised with a lesson about elemental supply and demand?
If so, that lesson could start with one element considered a staple of life – but growing endangered, like the Asiatic dhole – phosphorus.
Why is phosphorus pivotal? Phosphorus is in the DNA of all plants and animals. It is a key ingredient in fertilizer, but high quality phosphate deposits for mining are limited in both quantity and locality. Indeed, there are increasing concerns that with 85% of the resource limited to three countries in the world, inexpensive phosphorus may become a vestige of the past.
What could happen then?
