The Price of your Water and Planning for Grand Bend an Important Place within Lambton Shores - A Pointer =>

Residents of Grand Bend are affected by a planning process that projects the price of local water used in homes.  

The following is written in a way that is suited for accountants, but for ordinary readers there are things to be learned by trying to understand how the price of water is arrived at and whether you agree that the essentials that are included in the plan.  The accounting may seem like mumbo jumbo and the legal stuff is all like a library book you never want to have on your bedside table!

Review the diagrams and following tables and then create a little table for yourself based on the projected prices and your own usage in the past.  Combine the two sets of numbers to get figure of your own to see whether you can afford the inflation built into the prices of water used in the plan.  If the majority of people find that the cost of water as a share of their nominal income rises too rapidly that is a problem.  What do you find?

Article: On Early Warning Signs

Only rarely do you see such a well written article with so many clued in concepts as this article in Seed Magazine pointed to below.  I heartily recommend that you read it and if you don't understand it use a dictionary.  You will save yourself many a heart ache by understanding first principles of the real world!  

The real world is non-linear and so the old linear math of economics classes have to be re-written into non-linear expositions and contain many more real world exposures.  Understand what randomness is all about.  Realize that a fourth dimension, or possibly more, invade(s) our three dimensional world and that/those dimension(s) obeys(s) mathematics that is non-linear.  Think fractals!

AL GORE on global warming - The One Conservatives Love to Dispute - Why?

There is not much intelligent people do not miss.

This guy Al Gore is a failure because he did not become President of the United States. He had his chance and he failed. The logic can even go on to the thing with the voting machines and the Supreme Court proved Al was trying to cheat us. The Supreme Court showed us Al is a cheater because he lost and tried to take the presidency away from Geoge Bush. What a loser! He is not one of us and is pretty well off without our daily struggle for existence.

Is that why we can dispute him?

I like the 'stupid' (Yes! I used a bad word) excuse that Al has a hidden agenda. To some there is credence given to the idea that he is lining his pockets and making life more difficult for us by being a pain in the but. Look at all the money he is making from his book, which is capitalizing on scaremongering. Don't you see that? They insist.

In this world you can be your brothers keeper and there is nothing wrong with that either in liberalism, conservatism, communism, pluralism, democracy, fundamentalism! You should look after the interests of your neighbors as well as yourself. If you see a fire in the distance it is appropriate to say something about it, loud and clear!

So some people see the Gore message on the environment as an exaggeration to bolster Al Gore's ego and income. He, they say, has dangerous liberal ideas, and liberal you know must not get confused with Fundamental.

Is Al 'Fundamentally' wrong? Not in my book. He is in my book fundamentally right. He may use shocking facts to stir your thoughts, but that's what my mum and dad did to protect me. No, he's not your image of a father, and that's the point. Al comes across as a Dad telling us off. He is a prophet of the modern age. A Moses that builds an arc that we don't see as necessary?

Having earned a degree in political science from A first rate university, I am sure Al Gore's politics are biased towards the middle income population irrespective of religion, fundamentalism, and whatever? So what is the problem with Al?

Is he too stiff? Bush seemed stiffer in many respects. Did he propose wrong headed ideas? Bush was asleep at the helm for years, which is much worse?

Would Al not have made a good president? Where would America be had Al been President? Perhaps, just perhaps, we would have avoided the mess America has experienced under the leadership of George.

Who really won the election in Florida. Just ask yourself and ponder the consequences. Review the history and reexamine whether Al might not have become the better President, had he the chance.

Carolyn Steel | Profile on TED.com

We certainly need to rethink the role of sewers in our urban environment. Are they really necessary and how can we recycle into safe clean products all the potential plant material from human food waste that normally clogs up the drains and provides a home for disease. What we treat with disgust now may in the future be our most valuable resources. Just think about the possibilities and see if you have any bright ideas like those of Carolyn.

We need to build upwards and across to extend agricultural land reach as well as protect areas from wind and drought. Some areas that are the most inhospitable of places could conceivably be made into desert oases using creative technologies. What are the risks and challenges?

Technology for growing crops in layers rising vertically

Use your imagination and you can almost envisage trees bedding over and putting out hanging planting boxes from branches, or buildings developing arms that stretch out like trees and hanging growth areas from high in the sky fed by systems originating within the tall buildings, indoors or outdoors. Just use your imagination a bit! What have we not yet seen?

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!
