Euro Strength Could Spell Trouble For Struggling Economies

‘Noah’ finally debuts in theaters after lots of controversy. How accurate is it?
Sounds like a movie to see despite all the criticism etc ... There are so few new films to really get one's teeth into. But, why does it seem so déjà vu. Is it because we need alternative interpretations of this great story despite claims of ancestral descendants? Us! What is the logic really? Well, it will compete with the new 'planet of the apes' which is going to be a blockbuster. So whose current history interpretation are we really to follow for the survival of the earth, that of Putin or Obama? Thinking out loud .... Arthur

Why the economics of cell towers and wind turbines are synergistic and happy up Wall Street...
We should be very well served as well having an oversupply of both forms of tall technology over our farms and near our residences and forests... Both without much ado about nobodies. We are like aboriginal residents to these moneyed commercial foreign funded invaders benefiting from bubble money that has resulted in significant net tax liability from whence they come?

Letter to the Editor concerning the proposed Rogers cell tower in a residential area in Meaford

Subject: Letter to the Editor concerning the proposed Rogers cell tower in a residential area in Meaford
Dear Editor,
My name is Arthur Lake and I live too close to a Bell cell tower at Southcott Pines in Grand Bend. My experience is not encouraging. A cell tower is a huge investment than completely overwhelms the ability of local residents to resist as an isolated community effort. The amount of money yielded from this investment is considerable and shared enough to persuade those in the community unaware of the health risks to forego normal precautions. People will disregard dangers to young children and newly forming life in order to share in the clear benefits that accrue with a cell tower in one's community. So the problem is intractable.
There are clear benefits which are immediate and obvious and these are set against the potential losses that are abstract and complex at the very least. The risks are set back in time and are discounted heavily compared with immediate benefits. No less real, the damage over time to individuals from cell towers does exist and has been measured statistically. As a trained statistician and econometrician reading at McGill, Western, University of London, and Cambridge University, I am convinced that the existing statistics behind the studies already done should be sufficient to cause people who can understand such mathematics to realise that something extraordinary that we do not understand from the physical and medical sciences is going on in the neighbourhood of cell towers. Similar math applies to homes with WIFI left on 24/7.
So what are we to do. People on their own will almost unanimously vote to have cell towers much too close to their homes and places of activity. That is an undeniable fact and nothing you or I can do will change people's minds.
The consequences, however, are very different. Cellular tower radiation impacts the bodies of living creatures to slow down processes of regeneration and in many cases to actually stop necessary cell transformations and regeneration of microbial populations living within the human and plant organism. In Colorado, we find that trees to not produce the same vegetative volume or rebirth. So over time we see a broad spectrum effect on life of animal, microbial and plant forms. Why?
My best explanation is that is results from the overwhelming amount of information passed in bursts from cell towers and WIFI along channels of communication used in life processes at the cell and molecular levels. We certainly do not understand these processes.
But, there is a simple statistical test. Build a cell tower alongside a high rise building and and the cell tower too close. Count the incidence of disease around the arc of the cell tower antennas relative to areas below and above that are away from the radiation. What you will find is clear observable evidence over time that something extremely dangerous to health is going on and is a contributor to the disease creation in those near or closer to the radiation. How close is safe? That depends on how long you are willing to wait. Such studies have been done are universally frightening in their implications given the strength of the communications industry, the rewards processes in play, the insider government influence, those 'bribed' to speak on the industry's behalf, the mental discounting of long term costs to those vulnerable to a broad spectrum of diseases, the lack of government money for basic medical research and the unwillingness of the press to prioritize and seriously investigate the issues and risks to health and living organisms from cell tower radiation, the minimization of the voices of those advocating measures to mitigate real health risks, the targeting of vulnerable groups in the marketing of cellular devices (infants, teenagers, elderly, uneducated, those scientifically illiterate, the gullible addicted users).
In a similar vein, we know that many people started smoking in their teens, but are now decidedly dead from cancer in their mid fifties. So wait thirty years and most people will finally be convinced. It won't be you and me. It will be the children of our grandchildren.
Is that the sort of risk future, we wish to give to our loved ones?
Cell towers are far more dangerous than cigarettes because they act on a broad spectrum of living processes. This means they contribute to multiple health problems simultaneously in ways you or science won't understand for another century.
Sincerely yours,
Arthur Lake

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.
