Argentina's Peculiar and Misguided Energy Economics
Bad energy economics coming out of Argentina's leadership is no surprise. It takes them a hundred economists from Chicago to figure out inflation is/was bad! How does such a potentially rich safe haven for former nazis families survive? If it isn't trouble over the Falklands its something else missing in good policy and analysis material. Too much emotional short term manipulations and now an attack on Spanish energy investors. Will Argentina fall to the bottom of the world economy league table. Well, we'll see. It certainly seems that the dunce cap is firmly lodged on a few Argentinian leadership heads. Oops, ordinary Argentinians are really great. It's the idiots at the top we need to be concerned about.

Next Wuh Lax Book
Follow up that I sent to ....
Amazing that I can read an email from you sitting for a cup of tea in the Royal Albert Museum. Thank you for your reply and question. The book I am working on is the second in the Wuh Lax series and explores the relationship between what makes up the here and now, other points in time and space, and what I call 'elsewhere'.
The title will probably be "Still Light, Wuh Lax and the Invisible Bull Frogs." It will contain loads of physics, history, and mystery, but the story line is about Caracatus, Corellus, Elias, Wuh, Wimteldum, Scapula and a horrible secret of some Roman soldiers who are being killed off one by one.
The young Vespasian and the older Corellus work together to determine why the West Country is such a dangerous place and discovery wicked plots by Augustus and Scapula. But, that is not all. Bullfrogs operate to frustrate the best plans of Wimteldum, Wim, revealed as a clandestine operative of the spiral world, which operates under a different mathematics and physics. Everything leads to misfortune as betrayal leads to the capture and transport to Tyre of Caracatus brother Togodomus, who is mistaken for the successor to the English throne, such as it is? Meanwhile Wuh's sister and mother are missing, kidnapped by slave traders, and sold off to Libyan centurians, formerly under the command of Vespasian.
My story explains the missing Vespasian years as he goes into hiding and becomes a breeder of mules, the terrible secret of why Roman soldiers in Somerset conspire against the Julian family, and intrigue in Rome to kill off Luke. In any event, the story line mixes physics, history, and struggle with frustrated apparitions who are trying to revise the earthly time line because it is following the wrong mathematics implanted by Ba Aer (Error). Ba Ed (Education) instructs Wuh on the physics and meaning of light, while Ba Glas (Reflection) established a connection between waves and people.
My story begins by dismissing the idea that not all human beings are muggles in the JK Rowland sense, that witches and wizards exist in the Harry Potter sense, but that waves and apparitions from the "elsewhere" really do operate continuously in our universe and are the invisible bullfrogs in our room!
You asked the question and I have given you an answer! I hope to have it all written up by July 4th.

Hi! I eat apples ever day, so why did the apple shown below react with my system to produce uncomfortable wind, etc. It's a great mystery what seemingly innocent food products contain. People can just dismiss negative reactions day after day avoiding what gives them discomfort. Fact is people need a better system to manage their daily lives when it comes to food that they are sold.

Good Morning from the Royal Albert Hall and the Royal College of Art in London
Hi! Not everyone knows about this quiet coffee shop overlooking the Royal Mews in London just south of Hyde Park and directly across the park from Lancaster Gate. It's where students of the Royal College hang out and where one can quietly draw or write without being disturbed hour and hour on end. It's especially useful when drizzling outside and you are walking with a knapsack on your back. Mexican students such as the one who served me can earn a few pounds while getting credits towards a hotel management degree. Of course, London is a city of expensive hotels that are booming with business and anticipating a growth spurt because of the Olympics in a few months time. These places are so unlike the London described in the tabloids that one almost forgets one is in a multi million people city, and the large park area is so convenient. Places with parks and trees are always best! OK, so I need to get down to writing my next book! Arthur

Perhaps taxing the plastic companies one by one to clean up what they have made? Or, impose a tax on everyone everywhere to clean it up!

SEFE, Inc. Provides Operational Update
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- SEFE, Inc. (OTCBB:SEFE.OB - News) ("SEFE") ("The Company"), an emerging technology and solutions driven alternative energy company, is pleased to provide an update on its efforts towards bringing to market our flagship product Harmony.
Specifically, since 2008 the company has been testing, protecting and preparing its technology to commercially launch an aerostatic collector to harness atmospheric electricity and convert atmospheric electricity into usable power. Donald Johnston, Chief Executive Officer commented, "Our technology was founded in 2008 with a view towards having a positive impact on our communities by utilizing a ubiquitous and cheap source of energy – atmospheric electricity. The last four years have seen this mere idea evolve into a solution that we aim to commercialize and sell to mining and manufacturing companies as well as to utility companies and others."
Most recently, the company has produced both fixed and mobile prototypes and has been conducting tests at various geographic locations in diverse environmental conditions. The data collected from these and upcoming tests will prove invaluable as we approach commercialization.
"Since the initial tests proved that this could be a viable energy source, we have been building a portfolio of intellectual property to protect our solutions in order to ensure our place in a growing alternative energy industry. This includes patented technology to provide a low cost and highly available source of electric power", said Michael Hurowitz, Director of Engineering.
In addition, the company has and continues to work with top tier attorneys and firms to protect the company's Intellectual Property and plans to file additional patents with the US Patent and Trademark Office.
Donald Johnston, CEO added "According to Bloomberg New Energy Finance's Global Renewable Energy Market Outlook, global net power production is scheduled to increase by 90% over the next 20 years. Also, the clean energy market is expected to grow to $254 billion by 2017. This information along with more aggressive energy policies at all levels of government, position SEFE's technology to participate not only in the existing renewables market but also to capitalize on the growth of renewables use in developing economies."
About SEFE, Inc.
SEFE focuses on pushing the boundaries of what's possible, embracing innovation and employing the cutting-edge to solve problems, and offering sustainable solutions to a world hungry for invention, direction and leadership. SEFE is technology- and solutions-driven, focusing on developing inventions that provide a real-world impact and true profitability. So, success is measured by both a sustainable return on investment, as well as a project's sustainability from an environmental perspective.

The Associated Press: Natural gas drops 2.4 percent; oil back above $103
There really is a price war between oil and gas for vehicles, especially heavy large ones. What will your car drive on: electricity, natural gas, biofuel, petroleum gas? What mix? Electric is probably going to be the longer term winner, but gas and methane distillates would depress energy prices and create price wars.

I read this stuff and wonder why revolutions take place. The jury is still out in my mind as to whether what has happened is a good thing.

Being taxed without benefit ... Digital surveillance: what our phone records say about us - Telegraph
We are obviously paying too much for use of cell phones. If so much information is being stored real time, we are individually paying to be watched, so what benefit is there from this tax. It's a bit like being taxed without being able to represent oneself. That's what triggered the American revolution, I think?

Piers Morgan Vs. Touré: How the CNN Host Blew It - The Daily Beast
It's fairly normal on British TV for tough exchanges about racism and propriety to occur. People constantly berate others. The process Began when American style journalism came to Europe was copied, developed, molted, and returns to America to shock Americans. A good old debate, interview, is healthy for a democracy.
Piers Morgan is a refreshing change to the American discussion scene where he can be the uninformed outsider, an elephant in a china shop, and still bring about greater understanding. What rattled Toure's cage was the freedom that Piers can exercise, a freedom that Toure still does not enjoy because of peer pressure.
Apple's iPhone Market Share Versus Android
Apple is certainly making headway with what already looks like obsolete technology. Obviously, the rate of product change and innovation is accelerating. We are are observing the rapid see-saw of ecoomic opportunity. At the core of new technology, continues to be relevance, integration and miniaturization. Slip on this slope and you end down at the bottom of the mountain very quickly. I am looking forward to the iHome that uses an iField to print all forms of material objects for the home proton by proton.
