2007-11-05 12:34 Onward to Belém, the global network of social movements appeal to get out in the streets on 26th of …
Today social movements are confronted by a new phase in the capitalist neoliberal system's offensive. This period is characterised above all by a state of permanent global war. For most of the human race this war means recolonisation. Using the war on terror' as a cover, this war aims at controlling natural resources by pillaging peoples the world over. American projects in the Greater Middle East' and South America are the most visible signs of this. Nevertheless, they cannot cover up the fo …

On properly managed grazing land--including pasture-land and hayland--only 1 calorie of fossil-fuel energy is needed to produce up to 2 calories of food and fiber energy. Many crops require from 5 to 10 calories of fossil-fuel energy for every calorie of food or fiber produced.

Hey, remember me Sorry for the blogsilence but I don t multi-task well under the best of circumstances, and lately blogging added just one chore too many for my beleaguered brain.

2007-10-21 08:53 How do you define your own unique brand Here's how I created & evolved mine!
A few years ago, I started paying attention to the concept of branding. All of my marketing efforts in the past had been varied, with the one constant being that my marketing pieces always seemed to brand my brokerage first and me second. After attending some real estate conferences and classes, I realized that this was not such a good thing for me - but it was sure great for the company where I hung my license! It seems to me that branding is a bit of a tricky balance . If you work with a large …

Eating, well, really NOT eating, has been on my mind lately. Since a Trader Joe's opened up in our area, we, along with the other new food stlings lemmings in our area, streamed off the cliff to their only store in the First State. Along with the various coffee offerings we were intrigued with the Dark Chocolate Covered Almonds, Greek style yogourt and frozen vegetables and frozen berries. After the recent lead 'n' toy related news came out, we started reading our food purchases' packaging more …

2007-10-19 10:03 Bad News From the Netherlands
The media is the most powerful tool for "branding" a country. The enormous number of foreign journalists based in Israel has certainly played its part in keeping the Arab-Israeli conflict in the public eye, far beyond other conflict zones around the world, such as Darfur. Despite being a global leader in hi-tech, science, agriculture and many other fields, Israel suffers from negative branding by the media primarily within the context of a conflict situation. In stark contrast, what is the Neth …

If you follow the Underground, you know we're smack in the middle of a battle to keep the Siskiyou County Board of Supervisors (BOS) from approving a "Natural Resources Policy" that eliminates your legal right to fish the rivers in Siskiyou County - including the McCloud and Upper Sacramento. This would be illegal if some have their way... Even though it's clear the supervisors can't legally designate the local rivers as non-navigable - making wading illegal where private property adjoins the …

2007-10-18 08:07 Answering the Call for Reform
A few days ago, Robert Reich weighed in on the farm bill debate on the American Prospect s website, but it wasn t groundshaking or breathtaking in its originality, so we just kind of let it slide. Thankfully, our man on the scene Jon Bailey paid attention to the comments section, which included the following : I would like to know what kind of a debate this topic generates in small farm towns across the Midwest. Do small, non-corporate farmers realize that they are used as cover to enable massiv …

But unlike Winston Churchill who was a cigar man, Stalin liked pipes. They say he was not fond of the special pipe tobacco, but was filling his pipe with contents of Gertsegovina Flor cigarettes. Apparently these cigarettes were very different from those available for general public, so the overall qual …

Today is World Bread Day. The International Union of Bakers and Bakers-Confectioners designated this day to celebrate and honor the food that is, in many phraseologies, synonymous with "food." So it is no accident that World Bread Day was chosen to coincide with Word Food Day, October 16, the anniversary of the founding of the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations. The theme for World Food Day 2007 is "The Right to Food." The FAO's message is that regular access to suffic …

Catching up if you haven't tuned into this debate yet, the House version of the 2007 Farm Bill included a provision to make allowances for state inspected meat that met or exceeded federal inspection standards to be shipped across state lines. The measure is intended to help open new markets to small and mid-size livestock producers. Follow the links above to see the debate that has erupted over the p …

The food giant Sainsbury's says recent immigrants have a better work ethic than their native counterparts. In a submission to a House of Lords committee examining the effects of increased migration, the supermarket praised their "superior" attitude. Harder-working eastern Europeans were even having a positive influence on British workers, the company added. But local councils say they are being unfairly strapped with hidden costs in providing services to new arrivals. The Lords economic affairs …

I will be posting some more today on nature and the environment with that little bug up in the left hand corner, which links to the bloggers publishing today. The right wing attack on Rachel Carson this past summer is a good example of this dialectic. Carson wrote the earliest popular work on e …

2007-10-15 09:02 NZ Energy Strategy- Transport Summary
I'm hoping as many as possible will read the whole ( NZ Energy Strategy ) document but I'm guessing that won't happen. Given that 86% of NZ oil consumption is used by the transport sector, the transport implications are worth looking at more closely. However from a climate change perspective "Greenhouse gas emissions from domestic transport (air, land and sea) make up about 18 per cent of New Zealand s total emissions." Here is an excerpt from the Part 2 - Actions -Transport section 7 on "Resili …
