Reconstructions

Josy / Teresa / Jim / Doug / Johns!  (whoever is Minister) / Norman!

I attach a comment that I sent to Jim Southcott this morning. 

We live in an extraordinary place Aux Sables with an extraordinary past! It's amazing to witness the richness that still remains. I say still remains because I believe sincerely that current practices of farming, commercialization, and residential development are destroying it very fast, too fast. 

For part of my own history I worked with some of the worlds finest engineers at Rendall, Palmer and Tritton, who built the real London Bridge and the Thames Barrier that protects London, England from flooding at High tides off the North Sea. Much of their time was spent understanding water flows coming out of rivers and the effects these have on sands, beaches and natural life, along with counterflows off lakes, seas and oceans. My contribution was to examine and understand the economics of a watershed area.

The Aux Sables watershed and conduit needs to be better understood and researched. I am truly saddened by what could be the permanent loss of natural habitat through crazy ideas about what is good and bad for people neglecting the total picture.

..........just a thought, but it would be productive to grow a region in its totality rather than piece meal with a load of crap implantation disfiguring it and uglifying what nature is striving to build against the unrelenting forces of human ignorance!

We see from the clip below how the Federal Government is funding efforts to develop agricultural practices that are an attempt to make Ontario farmers competitive.

Well, I have news for farmers in Ontario. Ploughing fields, spreading chemicals from out west on local soils, using Monsanto seeds, and using high energy farm machinery are not truly productive practices in producing food in ways that are sustainable. They are not even close to being best practice. So what are the farmers and researchers doing to really get to grips with what ails this community in its totality?

RT

Attached email!

Jim!

You have touched my emotions!

Just to say how much I enjoyed the field trip and appreciate your taking an interest in my feeding on the past events and materials making up the residue of perceptions about local history!

The story Sherwood Fox weaves in his writing about Aux Sables is of extraordinary value both to those reconstructing mental images of what went before in human terms, but also what made this area so valuable in living natural resources and such a variety of entities we really ought to attempt bring back in meaningful ways. We all know about dead natural resources, but here is a great Tribute to what was once a living home and centre for sustainable resources, one that we should all try to regrow as a living region of extraordinary life and living support systems. 

I shudder to think of all that has been killed off that gave support to such a rich habitat of so many creatures, flora and fauna. Our ancestors were unaware of how far the threads of destructive influence would be carried by their children. New beginnings and understandings are needed to reintroduce threads of life and support that can build a richer balance between human and natural strivings to live and to inherit strengths from earlier roots. 

So much in my agricultural science lessons should be killed off and replaced with new understandings, much of which we need to sponsor ourselves and provide a basis for emerging life.

My friends call me 'RT'!  Arthur

PS

I love the name Sherwood Fox. I conjures up so many positive images including Robin!

Government of Canada Invests in Green Agriculture Technology

October 13, 2011

Canadian farmers will benefit from a partnership among the Government of Canada, industry and universities across Canada to enhance producer profitability through green agriculture technologies. Today, Parliamentary Secretary Pierre Lemieux, on behalf of Agriculture Minister Gerry Ritz, announced an investment of nearly $4 million for the University of Guelph to study and develop on-farm tools to help farmers mitigate greenhouse gas emissions and remain competitive in the global marketplace. The announcement was made at the Guelph Turfgrass Institute on October 13.

"Canada's agriculture industry plays a vital role in keeping our economy strong," said Mr. Lemieux. "This research will lead to new tools and practices to help farmers protect the environment and grow their business."

The University of Guelph will use the investment to conduct two separate projects, both based in OAC's School of Environmental Sciences. Prof. Claudia Wagner-Riddle focuses on livestock and crop production systems in the dairy sector, examining new and refined management practices and improved feeding strategies, resulting in better economic returns and mitigating greenhouse gas emissions.  Profs. Andy Gordon and Naresh Thevathasan focus on agroforestry, looking specifically at tree-based intercropping, a European agricultural practice that incorporates trees into cultivated areas to both reduce emissions and increase a farm's profit potential.

"These two projects will go a long way towards helping Canada develop important greenhouse gas mitigation strategies, benefiting farmers and reducing impacts on the environment," said Kevin Hall, University of Guelph's Vice-President (Research). "Partnerships such as the two we are celebrating today are central to our mission of creating new knowledge and value for society. The University of Guelph has a long history of working with government and industry to translate research knowledge into new technologies, products and services."

Funding for this project is through the Agricultural Greenhouse Gases Program (AAGP), a five-year, $27-million initiative that focuses on the development of on-farm greenhouse gas mitigation technologies. The AGGP represents Canada's initial contribution to the Global Research Alliance, an international network of more than 30 member-countries that will coordinate and increase agricultural research on greenhouse gas mitigation and make new mitigation technologies and beneficial management practices available to farmers.

Guatemalan Oxfam Partners Threatened

Dear Friend,

Our Guatemalan partners are under threat for their lives.

We need to get them in the public eye fast in order to protect them.

Send a letter to the President of Guatemala – do it today.

Oxfam partners in Guatemala have recently received death threats – and we need your voice, now, to ensure that these threats don't come to fruition.


The work we do affects people's lives daily – but it's often dangerous, and sometimes when our partners speak up in defense of poor communities, they are putting their lives on the line.

Two of Oxfam's outspoken partners at CALAS (Centre for Environmental, Social and Legal Action) who work daily on mining and oil issues, received death threats three days ago – and we need to get the public eye on this case immediately, so that they have a level of protection.

Please send a message to the President of Guatemala – we must do everything we can, NOW, to protect our Oxfam partners.

Violence and tensions in Guatemala have intensified in the run-up to the country's presidential elections this Sunday. Our partners at CALAS have been working to protect the rights of indigenous peoples and to expose corruption in a natural gas project.

The Executive Director of CALAS, Yuri Melini, was seriously wounded in 2008 during an assassination attempt.

Large-scale mining operations have been the source of protest, violence and human rights violations since the early 2000s. Oxfam partner CALAS has sought to promote informed debate about the costs and benefits of oil and mining in the country and to promote greater respect for the rights of indigenous communities – and now they are under threat for their stand.

Get these threats in the public eye and protect Yuri Melini and Rafael Maldonado.

Here at Oxfam, we are in awe of the strong and steadfast stand taken by these human rights activists – but now, more than ever, they need our support. "I won't be intimidated by these threats," Melini said in a statement. "I will continue the struggle to defend human rights and protect Guatemala's environment."

Please don't let their work be in vain.

Tell the President of Guatemala, we will not stand by while our partners are threatened.

We can save lives. Please don't stay silent.

Timothy Stanley's very personal war on science -

Very interesting approach to events affecting one! It's our judgement that we are not at the center of what exists.

The universe, that we see only temporarily, trundles merrily on after we are gone. It has it's own logic and that logic may not be what we understand.

We can choose to speculate as to the correct logic of the universe, but the longer time stretches the period over which we speculate conceivably the more speculative we shall be.

The problem is that space-time cannot be traversed equally in all directions the energy cost deciding which direction we see. Only those futures and places with low energy cost of viewing will actually become visible to us.

Top Banks Confront Leaner Future by Cutting Jobs - NYTimes.com

Banks became irresponsible businesses by not assuming responsibility for their actions. They embraced gambling and many are simply fronts for organized crime and money laundering operations.

The efforts of government and banks in the building of a country housing bubble, a gambling casino for property, shows how stupid and irresponsible this genertion of young American so called educated bankers were despite the lessons of the Texas bailouts of the 1980s, and possibly they realized that they would be bailed out as this habit of bailing out and gambling in housing and construction sectors persists even to today!

It's thecwidespread prevalence of socially sick and addictive processes such as gambling and fighting that make areas of America so inhospitable today!

GDP Is a Lie – It’s Time for a New Measure of Economic Growth - Money Morning

This is another claim that statistics lie. Money Morning in my view needs to go back to economics class.

I have a hard time keeping a straight face when reading the rubbish that money morning includes in this blog piece. It sounds convincing, but is really very far off the mark.

The author in money morning wrongly claims that GDP as measured wrongly values growth. By choosing another measure, he claims to remove or reduce a bias. The logic is very short term, but even then is silly!

The problem is associated with the valuation of the government sector at cost rather than a market value. Putting a market value on government spending would certainly alter the growth numbers, but the valuation if long term might be excessively high given that government spending often begins growth.

Should the private sector spend during this gestation and invention research period, it would lose money heavily so the private sector, eg pharmaceuticals, who rely on university and government subsidized research, does nothing but wait around for the basic research and the unprofitable costs to be covered by government.

For example, if the private sector spent money on welfare it would loose profit or income, but the poor person would continue living and add to a country's costs. Eventually the poor person who is educated might contribute to society and part of the income would need to be ascribed to the welfare provided by the private sector. Since firms don't do welfare much, nor even sustain pensions, the market valuation of growth by the private sector is markedly exaggerated.

This is only the tip of the ice berg for the lack of growth that would follow a shut down of government. There would be so little shared research that few firms would compete and negative grow might actually follow. Th Marxist prediction of zero profit would most certainly follow because without invention and sharing of information nothing new would happen. The autos would be like Russian Soviet era cars without design. Since the government supports the R and D of the military sector, the leadership of hat sector would be lost and the private sector would get even less of spin offs such as new materials and things like lasers. We would not see iPads.

But, there is no ideal method for valuing growth. The present GDP exaggerates the contribution of the private sector while understating that of the government sector. The system of measurement proposed by the writer for Money Morning below would exaggerate the growth contribution of the private sector beyond belief!

Read, and then give your view!

The dictionary really needs to be upgraded for me. Am I so bright or have a better vocabulary than the dictionary! Others would say not, but I wonder?

Blair speaks out on what caused British riots and how to deal with them. To one economist, Arthur Lake, very wrong!

Tony Blair take the position that the London riots are a highly specific problem seeking a highly specific solution! This is not about moral decay either so I think Cameron is just as wrong!

We are all mystified by the call to violence that a police action judged inequitous/unjust brought about. Perhaps, the response has a lot to do with the stimulus, which is an assessment by people that their economic situation is unjust. This is very real. If enough people believe this, such as students who had aspirations for education but who were disappointed with costs, they would riot if the correct stimulus were applied.

The Bubble of Education Costs:

Today we have levered inflation of the education sector which is another balloon about to explode world wide. Why in hell can't people be educated out of libraries and the comfort of their own homes. Or why can't Apple iPad schools not be educating students at 1/100 the cistern of universities. It's a bubble waiting to burst big time. If Bill Gates can succeed, so can almost anybody using an iPad and information on the Internet. Truly employers better get used to self educated people because they will put them out of business if not employed. Demand a certificated and bleed your company's profits away. Self education is the wedge that will burst the present bubble of education costs.

Multiple reasons:

I think the riots may have been due to more than one stimulus and require solutions at many levels of social administration not just specifics. The disconnect between people's aspirations and what was and is being experienced is primarily an economic disconnect. There is most definitely an injustice associated with the life experience of home ownership and job ownership, both related to employment.

While the house price inflations of 2000-2010 were not as bad as the inflation of Germany in the mid twenties, the effect cannot be underestimated, nor can the sense of misery associated with unemployment that also characterised the mid 1920s. Then, the world experienced riots between struggling labour and established employed. Marxism fought fascism, and fascism won some places while Marxism won others.

Project forward these issues that damaged societies in Europe and you have a profound sense of injustice. Sure English and German society were prosperous, but the under society were not. The liberal party all but disappeared in Britain, while in Germany the upper class lost it's legitimacy as did those Jewish families that ventured from the flight to gold and the appreciation in property values.

Recognise that the real issue was not the absence of property which led to the calls for lebensraum, but the absence of a just way for those in the under economy to acquire property at a price they could afford.

Britain's pressure pot riots have a general solution, but they require thinking outside of the normal boxes of specifics and generalities. The main issue was the use of the property market to create growth, but the rise in prices occurred too rapidly and was overtaken by speculation, divorces, two income families, and leveraged borrowing.

The Disconnect Between Property Acquisition and Incomes:

Let's get real economic growth is measured in terms of houses and cars. Much of it is due to inward migration.

There has been mostly crappy growth in Europe. Ugly cities with pollution are not growth, just more crap. American growth has been population driven and products have been crappy junk from China disguised as production but really retailing.

Incomes could not pay for housing and widespread demand went unsatisfied. In America, house prices don't rise because there is so much land or lebensraum, but there property prices went through the roof.

Using property for growth and employment still is seen in America and Britain as a viable economic policy despite the absence of jobs with incomes outside the housing industry to pay for the magnificent properties being built.

Lord Keynes would have said the real problem was effective demand, and an absence of real jobs. He would have focused on total demand just as the economists of Obama and Blair do/did! They would only get part of the picture!

Schumpeter at Harvard would have said the old industries need to die first to make way for new. Microsoft has to die to make way for Apple. That's what the stock Market is all about. It's as much about growing companies as killing them off. Too much leveraging allows the walking dead compaies to survive and a capitalist economy becomes clogged up. The toilet won't flush out the crappy companies to make way for good stuff.

Pricing Education High is Inflation and is as bad as a leveraged housing Market!

It's utter stupid inflation Mr Cameron! You need to see that addiction to leveraged housing market has been replaced by a leveraged education Market. Both have squeezed out those at the lower ends of the income streams.

So my solution as an economist is to recognise that Schumpeter was right and Keynes was right, but that neither are understood because the present lists of economists have crap understanding about leveraged growth. How do I know? I just read and look at TV, and watch the riots!

Un-leverage all the markets that are sodomy in disguise:

Housing and construction
Corporate takeovers
Education
Bailouts for walking dead companies
Inward migration
MPs expenses
Obsolete technology

Do the HP thing and recognise the tough choices!

University Barcelona : The results of the research do not rule out the possibility that other genetic mutations could positively influence longevity. However, researchers do point out the fact that the excellent health of this family, and of the 113-year-old man in particular, is probably due to a Mediterranean diet, the temperate climate of the island, a lack of stress and regular physical activity. The article underlines the fact that until the age of 102, the man cycled every day and looked after the family orchard.
