All the talk about end of the Euro rings very false

Fact is that the Euro has been too strong for too long. It is its success rather than its failure that has been its undoing. What region can go on and on with an overvalued currency. Fact is, a drop in the Euro is what is needed rather than a breakup.

A strong Euro value expectation led and to overborrowing. A weaker Euro would be very good and a very natural outcome of excessive strength. The real problem remains with the glut of US dollars that bid up the Euro and brought so many bad sources of credit to Europe.

No! The dollar not the Euro remains the main problem if not seen as the issue of the day. Don't take your eyes off dollar weakness and the lack of soundness that remains within the US economy.

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.

China Alleged to Have Offered Arms to Gaddafi - Global Spin - TIME.com

It seems that we have double dealing going on!

Show one face to the world while plotting another.

This news has serious implications for democracy, but the worst is that we all want to trust China and find we will only be duped and seen as fodder for intrigue.

Not good for the world! We have to think twice about why some countries are doing what they do! Whatever that is?

Secrets! They are what started the wars of the past.

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.

Federal Regulators Sue Big Banks Over Mortgages - NYTimes.com

This is a very necessary stage in the process of correction and adjustment to the scam, some would say fraud, perpetrated by the big banks on the American and World scene. It is something that will slow down the housing market and could take years! Nobody checked to establish that the securities being sold almost everywhere were genuine secure paper. We all know they were the product of greed and loose regulation. Nevertheless, it was the banks that sold the paper and that knew the paper was insecure. Why did they do it? They could do it and they thought they would get away with it.

YOU HAVE REACHED WOOH'S STREAM
The Internet User's Best Kept Secret

Sketches from scratches is a provocative blogspot that has grown out of the Wuh Lax experience. It is eclectic, which means that it might consider just about anything from the simple to the extremely difficult. A scratch can be something that is troubling me or a short line on paper. From a scratch comes a verbal sketch or image sketch of the issue or subject. Other sites have other stuff that should really be of interest to the broad reader. I try to develop themes, but variety often comes before depth. ... more!
