<description><![CDATA[The prevailing theory of Demand Generation starts from the premise that you (or your client) has got]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The prevailing theory of Demand Generation starts from the premise that you (or your client) has got a fairly decent supply of something that you want to sell &#8211; all you need to do is provoke/cajole/plead/badger people into wanting it so badly they will exchange hard currency for it.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s the &#8220;Generation&#8221; in Demand Gen &#8211; actually creating or conjuring something that didn&#8217;t really exist before. Which is true enough for a lot of B2C, particularly premium goods, luxury items and even a whole bunch of FMCG product. Stuff you didn&#8217;t even know you needed until someone convinced you that you just had to have it. That&#8217;s pretty much all of everything that&#8217;s stocked on <a href="http://www.orchardroad.org/">Orchard Rd</a>, really.</p>
<p><strong>I never even thought of that! Oh, wait.</strong></p>
<p>But I&#8217;m not sure it holds true for most of big-end-of-town-stye B2B. Does a company wake up one morning not even thinking about, say, storing their data or giving their employees the tools to do their individual tasks, and then somehow gets convinced to that storage or cloud access would be a great new idea?</p>
<p>Sure, there are the occasional new tech breakthroughs that might require true &#8216;Demand Gen&#8217;, all the way from education through to purchase. But even then, if you look at it in the context of need (the quarter inch hole), rather than product (<a href="http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Theodore_Levitt">the quarter inch drill bit</a>), it&#8217;s unlikely the primary task is to make more people want holes.</p>
<p><strong>You don&#8217;t even know the meaning of thirsty!</strong></p>
<p>The trouble with Demand Gen is that there is often a physical limit to the size of the market, even in B2C. Kids in many countries in Asia, for example, are already chugging Milo or Coke at pretty much maximum daily capacity of liquified intake. The challenge is to design and normalise entirely new moments (and modes) of consumption (coke ice blocks, <a href="http://tracker.dailyburn.com/nutrition/nestle_milo_energy_bar_calories">Milo energy bars</a>) just to eke out new demand where none previously existed.</p>
<p>But a company doesn&#8217;t behave like a thirsty kid (unless your <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Corporation_(film)">kid is a psychopath</a>). It doesn&#8217;t pursue leisure or pleasure &#8211; it only purchases what it functionally needs, and often it purchases less than that, at least over the short term. Can you convince someone that driven to want something they fundamentally don&#8217;t believe they need?  Seems too much like hard work to me.</p>
<p><strong>Why do Demand Generation when you can do Demand Capture?</strong></p>
<p>Seems more elegant, right? Rather than toiling to build something out of nothing, it should be more efficient to observe and respond to demand that is already there. But if that sounds like lazy (hu)man&#8217;s marketing, your&#8217;re right. The trick is to do it more obsessively, more effectively, more quickly, more cunningly than anyone else you&#8217;re competing against. To set traps, lay bait, remain silent, lie in wait and capture the little wisps of something that are floating by on the air: the nascent, latent demand that is yet to be truly demanded.</p>
<p>Nice trick, but how? *</p>
<p>* Not a theoretical question.</p>

<p>Like many of us, I LOVE <a class="zem_slink" title="Quinoa" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quinoa" target="_blank" rel="wikipedia">quinoa</a>! I love its taste, its versatility (it can be used in baking, as a rice substitute, and so much more), its nutritional content! It really is &#8220;the mother of all grains&#8221; just like the Incas had described.</p>
<p>Quite recently this seed, often mistaken for a grain, has just gone off the charts on the popularity meter. As the new health craze, this protein and nutrient rich food has quickly become one of the most popular ingredients in today&#8217;s western cooking. In addition, because quinoa is a complete protein, it is especially loved by vegetarians and vegans.</p>
<p>However there is a big downside to the consumption and demand for quinoa, and that is what it&#8217;s production and demand are doing to the people and land of <a class="zem_slink" title="Bolivia" href="http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=-17.8,-63.1666666667&#38;spn=0.1,0.1&#38;q=-17.8,-63.1666666667 (Bolivia)&#38;t=h" target="_blank" rel="geolocation">Bolivia</a> and <a class="zem_slink" title="Peru" href="http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=-12.0433333333,-77.0283333333&#38;spn=10.0,10.0&#38;q=-12.0433333333,-77.0283333333 (Peru)&#38;t=h" target="_blank" rel="geolocation">Peru</a>.</p>
<p><strong>What is the quinoa controversy?</strong></p>
<p>The production, demand and consumption of quinoa are doing a number of things:</p>
<ol>
<li><em>Land conflict: </em>With the high demand of this <a class="zem_slink" title="Superfood" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superfood" target="_blank" rel="wikipedia">superfood</a>, farmers are using violence and fighting over <a class="zem_slink" title="Property" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Property" target="_blank" rel="wikipedia">property rights</a> for valuable land to grow quinoa their crops.</li>
<li><em>Environmental effects: </em>Farmers are now expanding their farms to areas where llamas have been grazing for centuries. Llama manure is one of the main reasons the regions where quinoa is grown possesses such fertile soil, and with their absence, <a class="zem_slink" title="Fertilizer" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fertilizer" target="_blank" rel="wikipedia">chemical fertilizers</a> are now needed.</li>
<li><em>Increased consumption of junk foods: </em>Ironically, the increased demand for this highly nutritious superfood is also supporting junk food consumption in two ways:</li>
</ol>
<p>a) the price of quinoa has now risen 3-fold since 2006* causing it to be extremely expensive for the bolivian population to consume their native food, thus junk food is the next option.</p>
<p>b) with rising profits, quinoa farmers and their families are now able to afford western foods, which they prefer, resulting in a nutrient deficient diet</p>
<p><strong>The economics of quinoa</strong></p>
<p>In addition to a tree hugger and vegan, I also went to university and studied business courses for a while. I love economics and even worked in sales for a while.</p>
<p>To make the rise in price of this seed more easy for my mind to understand, I needed to draw out a simple graph.</p>
<p><a href="http://urbanhealthandwellness.files.wordpress.com/2013/05/img_0911.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-612" alt="IMG_0911" src="http://urbanhealthandwellness.files.wordpress.com/2013/05/img_0911.jpg?w=630&#038;h=572" width="630" height="572" /></a></p>
<p>With an increase in demand for quinoa, the Demand Curve shifts rightwards, making the new intersection, or equilibrium, rises. This means there is a rise in price as the y-axis represents price in this graph.</p>
<p>As a consumer, I don&#8217;t think that I&#8217;ll completely stop buying quinoa, however I would like to make sure that the manufacturers and producers of the quinoa I am buying are paying the farmers a fair wage so that they, too, can enjoy this amazing superfood.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<section>
<div id="attachment_359" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://earlyeconomist.files.wordpress.com/2013/05/ryanair.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-359" alt="Ryanair - by Eigene Aufnahme" src="http://earlyeconomist.files.wordpress.com/2013/05/ryanair.jpg?w=300&#038;h=225" width="300" height="225" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Ryanair &#8211; by Eigene Aufnahme</p></div>
<p><strong>Michael O&#8217;Leary</strong>, chief executive of low-cost Irish airline <strong>Ryanair,</strong> is set to remain at the company for another five years, despite previously announcing that he would quit &#8220;in a couple of years&#8221;.</p>
<p>Mr O&#8217;Leary explained that Ryanair&#8217;s fleet will go above 400 jets by 2018 and that he is aiming to double the firm&#8217;s €8.65 billion market valuation by the same date.</p>
<p>The airline boss said that Ryanair will seize on the &#8220;likely failure&#8221; of its competitors such as <strong>Air France, Alitalia, Iberia,</strong> and <strong>SAS.</strong></p>
<p>He said that this may clear the path for a shift into low-cost trans-Atlantic transit, as wide-body planes become cheaper, following a dip in demand.</p>
</section>
<section>&#8220;The next five years look very interesting and exciting and therefore there is no reason for me to leave,&#8221; he stated. &#8220;There&#8217;s going to be a push for the legacy carriers to walk away from the loss-making, short-haul business, handing over more and more market share.&#8221;</p>

<p>I found this article on Reddit. Most, if not all, of the conditions or symptoms that are listed I can relate to.</p>
<p>Yet, I would say that I grew up in a relatively loving home. I got hugs and kisses from both my parents throughout my life, even to this day when I visit them. My brother and I share hugs, and the less common awkward sibling kiss on the cheek.</p>
<p>I don&#8217;t understand how I got this &#8216;lonely&#8217; having come from such a loving home.</p>
<p>It makes me wonder:</p>
<ul>
<li>Was my home actually loving?
<ul>
<li>Or am I placing too high a demand/need from my family?</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Was the shock of moving away too much for my emotional system?</li>
<li>What do I consider intimacy?</li>
<li>Or is it simply that I don&#8217;t trust many people, feel they&#8217;re judging me or lying to me, and therefore can&#8217;t get close/intimate with anyone?</li>
</ul>
<p>One thing&#8217;s for sure, my self-confidence/self-esteem, in my personal life, has steadily been going down since 2006. Oddly, my confidence in my professional life isn&#8217;t affected.</p>

<h3>Ammunition manufacturers are not adding capacity. They think this run on ammo  is temporary. So, buyers cannot buy it.</h3>
<h3>The buyers want it. Retail sellers are imposing rationing: limits on  purchases.</h3>
<h3>There is no let-up in sight.</h3>
<blockquote>
<h3>Ammunition manufacturers are reporting record profits and sales, with  increases that number in the double and sometimes triple digits. Olin, which  owns Winchester, reported last week the company’s first quarter earnings climbed  190 percent over the same period last year. Federal Premium Ammunition’s annual  earnings for ammunition last year climbed 24 percent over 2011.</h3>
<h3>“Our sales are only limited by the amount we can produce,” said Joseph Rupp,  Olin chairman and chief executive officer in a conference call last Friday.</h3>
<h3>Ammunition manufacturers are struggling to make enough and have hundreds of  millions of dollars in backorders. They’ve added hundreds of employees and  equipment and increased overtime, and, in some cases, are running factories  around the clock. Producers have posted notes on all their web sites assuring  customers they are working as fast as they can.</h3>
</blockquote>
<h3>The demand is coming from existing gun owners. There may be an increase at  the margin from new owners of guns. But the percentage of gun owners in the U.S.  is <a href="http://scienceblogs.com/gregladen/2013/03/10/gun-ownership-is-way-down-in-the-us/">below  40%</a>.</h3>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>PROSPERITY AND TAXES (BOTH HERE AND ABROAD)</p>
<p>Historical proof abounds that there is no relationship between taxes and growth in the economy. We have had high taxes and low growth and low taxes and low growth. Growth, of course, is solely a function of demand. If your goods and/or services aren’t in demand, then the tax structure is immaterial; there is no growth in economic performance due to lack of sale, exchange, barter etc.</p>
<p>Against this background, I chanced across two seemingly disparate news tidbits in a magazine recently. One had to do with the developing financial miracle in California. After years of one budget crisis after another due to voting themselves into a financial straitjacket via limitations on taxing authority, Governor Jerry Brown recently reversed this exercise in hopeless austerity with a voter-approved substantial tax increase. The result is that business tax collections are $200 million and personal income tax payments are $4.5 billion ahead of projections.</p>
<p>The unexpected surplus resulting from increased taxes proves what is set forth in the first paragraph of this essay: that higher taxes are unrelated to economic performance. The State of California still has an almost $28 billion dollar debt to pay down, of course, and has neglected public services such as education and the infrastructure while captive to right wing interests and their taxless propositions there, so there will be any number of projects in need of funding. Now they can get to work, get the unemployment rate down, and increase demand in the state’s marketplace.</p>
<p> With such glowing increases in income, the state will be much better enabled to manage its debt, thus reducing interest and other such costs. Gone are the horrid visions of Chapter Nine bankruptcy. All it took was the peoples’ recognition that there was a problem and the integrity and responsibility to address and solve that problem. The people understood the Keynesian overtones to what had to be done and are to be congratulated in standing up to the right wing proposition-stranglehold on the state’s finances. This should have happened long ago, but better now than never.</p>
<p>There is a right wing view that additional tax money goes down a black hole somewhere never to be seen again. That is propaganda. The increased tax revenues will go into more teachers, better roads and bridges, more and better public services generally. Unemployment will be reduced with such increased economic activity, and the new hires will be paying INTO the state treasury instead of TAKING from it, a win-win situation. They will be adding to the unemployment compensation fund, not reducing it.</p>
<p>This result is far preferable to having such “tax savings” wind up in the Caymans and Switzerland by wealthy Californians, where the black hole metaphor is far more descriptive. The new money made by the newly employed will be overwhelmingly spent in the Californian economy, thus stimulating even further demand which, as we have seen, is the sole arbiter of economic performance. It’s the old “When more people come into my store to buy my products, I have to hire more clerks” truism. Money in Switzerland doesn’t come into this store, speaking of black holes. Few (and not the IRS) know where that money goes, and they aren’t talking.</p>
<p>Tidbit # 2. Speaking of Americans and American corporations’ propensity to keep their money out of sight of tax authorities and lawsuits, Apple has a shipload of cash (145 billion!) in its coffers, much of which is sited overseas (per Bloomberg.com). With a 42% drop in its stock price since September, its shareholders are clamoring for a piece of that cash via buyback of its own shares (when there are less shares outstanding, share value goes up accordingly with buybacks). The problem? Same old story – slacking DEMAND for, in this case, iPhones.</p>
<p>So what is the company going to do before shareholders start filing suits for breach of fiduciary duty etc.? Are they going to bring the money they have sitting overseas and divvy up with their shareholders? Not a chance! If they repatriate that money to our shores, the IRS will want up to 35% of it. So what to do? Easy. Borrow the money. With interest rates next to zero and plenty of collateral (albeit overseas to avoid U.S. taxation), they are better off to use borrowed funds to pull their buyback and keep their shareholders happy. It’s not all good, however. Rating bureaus such as Moody’s are looking askance on Apple’s AAA rating if it appears their debt load will explode. Problems! Problems! (I wish I had them!)</p>
<p>One of the worst features of the foregoing sad commentary is that the internal revenue code permits corporations to indefinitely delay repatriation of profits earned overseas (or claimed to have been earned there). The law (written by lobbyists for the rich and corporate class – not you or me) allows such untaxed zillions to rest in Bermuda, the Caymans, Switzerland et al. while tax lawyers and accountants for such corporations negotiate with IRS on the RATE TO BE PAID if such profits are repatriated to these shores. If you and I try to pull that off, we will be looking out instead of in in short order. Avoidance morphs into evasion since we are not members of the statutorily-favored class.</p>
<p>Finally, Bloomberg.com notes, and I quote: “More than 30 percent of the world’s richest people – with a collective net worth of $2.8 trillion – control their fortunes through offshore holding companies that hide assets from tax authorities and lawsuits.”</p>
<p>You and I cannot hide our money and other resources from the prying eyes of the IRS, nor may we send our paychecks to a number at some Swiss bank and then negotiate with the IRS on what the rate will be if we choose to repatriate such monies to this country. Those statutory goodies, among many other atrocities in the internal revenue code, represent the tip of the iceberg, and are just the kind of insertions into the code that wealthy Californians and other members of the rich and corporate class have had inserted (at a rate of one a day!) into such code, meanwhile poor-mouthing the citizens of the State of California with their taxless “propositions” so that they have more money to send outside the jurisdiction of the courts and IRS while Californians have less teachers and more chuck holes. Is there anything remotely fair in this scenario?</p>
<p>My followers are probably tiring of my frequent statement that the internal revenue code needs a thorough redo. I will repeat it anyway: We need to repeal and rewrite the internal revenue code. It could be done in 15 – 20 pages. You and I had and have little to do with the internal revenue code as presently written. It has been written and (daily!) amended to reflect advantageous results for the rich and corporate class, leaving you and me to make up what they don’t pay. This should end, as much of our current deficit-debt problem can be traced to such shenanigans by the deep-pocketed few, who continue to get a free ride on our dime.</p>
<p>The rich and corporate class will be invited to our code rewriting sessions, but they will not write the code. We will rewrite it, and, among other things, the code will contain a requirement that amendments thereto are to first go through non-partisan review reflecting  the public interest  before some politician can insert it into the code (in exchange for a healthy campaign  contribution, of course.) That tit for tat game of daily plunder of the peoples’ resources has to end; it borders on criminal tradeoff.</p>
<p>We the People should have the integrity and responsibility shown by Californians in getting our fiscal house in order. We can start by leveling the playing field between the rich and corporate class and the rest of us, so let’s get on with it.  GERALD  E</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When you mention television shows to people now they say one of two things.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s either, &#8221; I saw that last night it is awesome.&#8221;</p>
<p>or</p>
<p>&#8221; Oh I forgot it was on. I will watch it on demand.&#8221;</p>
<p>To be fair the first reply is becoming less and less common. With a pallet of legal ways to watch shows on demand, do we need traditional television anymore? Services such as I Player, ITV player, 4 On Demand and Netflix to name but a few have all sprung up in my lifetime and they are becoming more and more popular.</p>
<p>In the USA you can catch up on The Simpsons and Family Guy and such for free a week after they air, or pay to watch them instantly. Sky offers no such comparative service, and doesn&#8217;t stream The Simpsons on Sky Go. Sky Go does however stream it&#8217;s sister show Futurama. It&#8217;s odd because they are both the same company but I Guess Fox are just cashing in on things.  Another example of the Fox UK difference is the fact that Family Guy isn&#8217;t available on I Player on demand, but it&#8217;s spin off show &#8216;The Cleveland Show&#8217; is available on 4OD.</p>
<p>So while streaming services vary on letting you watch certain shows varying on their popularity, there are other more illicit ways of watching them online anyway, usually a year in advance before they are imported onto UK Television, but that&#8217;s beside the point.</p>
<p>Streaming services are now everywhere, and by the time I&#8217;m my Dad&#8217;s age, ( with the explosion of tablets and internet enabled devices), I wonder if eventually all TV will be on demand.</p>
<p>From a user point of view watching the TV you want to watch when you want to watch it is a winner, instead of hanging around waiting for adverts or a show to come on you can watch what you feel like when you feel like it.  From a broadcasters point of view, a switch to fully on demand would be cheaper, and as ITV Player shows you could still place adverts inside programming. 4OD and Demand 5 also do this. They would be able to keep track of what people click, how many views things have and what is the most popular and least popular show that day. They could still stream things live like inside the BBC Sport App on Playstion 3 and tablet, which streams football matches and snooker matches live. Me and my Dad often use the BBC Sport app to put snooker on a second screen whilst watching crap reruns of You&#8217;ve Been Framed on ITV.</p>
<p>Live broadcasting still offers some better things, internet streams sometimes lag or are on a 30 second delay live. Thirty seconds might not seem like much but it does make the BBC News clock lag behind sometimes, or clocks on Football matches. Also if you&#8217;re internet is running slow you can&#8217;t use the HD option which limits the service.   Netflix allows users to watch content entirely on demand and movies, as does Lovefilm so it is perfect for nights in. However, the content sometimes feels limited. I am lucky that I like most of the shows on Netflix so always have something to watch on there, but I can&#8217;t imagine my Dad watching the Westerns over and over because nothing else would appeal to him.</p>
<p>In conclusion, I think broadcasting companies are starting to realise the essential need to provide  legal online catch up and broadcasting services, but they are lagging behind a bit. They should follow <a href="http://www.tvcatchup.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.tvcatchup.com</a> &#8216;s example and stream full channels 24/7 online, what do they have to lose? They are already getting advertising revenue.</p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p><strong>ADDITIONAL POINTS:</strong></p>
<p><em>* As technology changes peoples viewing habits and ways of accessing things also change.</em></p>
<p><em>* Newspapers have also shifted most content online, with plans to monetize content</em></p>
<p><em>* Websites such as Youtube relay on advertising schemes whilst providing video content. It&#8217;s a good model if implemented right.</em></p>
<p><em>* Online engagement with shows is also realised by networks, with companies such as Fremantle Media Interactive devoting full departments to engaging audiences with Facebook applications and Twitter to help spread the word about shows online and engage viewers as they browse the internet.</em></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 682px"><a href="https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=535088183204203&#38;set=pb.278526808860343.-2207520000.1368199277.&#38;type=3&#38;theater"><img alt="" src="http://www.modavantiblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/EVENT.jpg" width="672" height="448" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">SFI organizers and designers</p></div>
<p>“It’s like Studio 54 in there” says the security guard as he closes the door, “I don’t know if you’re going to be able to get in.” My coworker and I share a perplexed look; we R.S.V.P.-ed! We arrived early, mingled, and were waiting anxiously, pleasantly surprised to see the large turnout. Luckily, we were able to get into the evening’s exclusive event: the <a href="http://www.sustainable-fashion.org/" target="_blank">Sustainable Fashion Initiative</a>’s (SFI) Fashion Show. After being counted by the museum staff, we were ushered in and directed to our seats just as the lights dimmed. There might not have been a disco ball in sight, but the evident energy certainly felt like we were at a famous hot spot. The audience hushed and prepared for the show to begin as <a href="https://twitter.com/JennaRodrigues2" target="_blank">Co-Founder Jenna Rodrigues</a> took to the podium. <img title="More..." alt="" src="http://www.modavantiblog.com/wp-includes/js/tinymce/plugins/wordpress/img/trans.gif" /></p>
<p><a href="http://www.sustainable-fashion.org/#!programs/ctzx" target="_blank">Princeton Fashion Week</a> could not have had a more appropriate ending to the seven-days-long series of events and panels—the show was spectacular and ignited inspiration with every model’s pose. Set against preserved paintings and sculpted statues, one could not help but study the revolutionary art form. Fashion has long been wearable art and an extremely personal expression of one’s self, but until recently, one’s values would often times have to be compromised. Now, with designers like <a href="https://www.facebook.com/TabiiJust?ref=ts&#38;fref=ts" target="_blank">Tabii Just</a>—a brand grounded in a “0% waste” philosophy, even incorporating this mindset into the garments&#8217; designs with beautiful draping and flattering construction (see our <a href="https://modavanti.com/item-detail/tabii-justtasha-skirt" target="_blank">Tasha Skirt</a> below, available online at <a href="https://modavanti.com/search/?ita=all&#38;ida=Tabii%20Just" target="_blank">Modavanti.com</a>) and REBORN by <a href="https://www.facebook.com/sohamdavenewyork?fref=ts" target="_blank">Soham Dave</a>—a brand that uses natural dyes and partners with artisans, we as consumers and more importantly, as people, have access to an amazing variety of brands that fit our values without compromising on style.</p>
<p>Seated a few rows behind the action, I was able to take in the scene as a true spectator. How exciting it was to see young, educated, stylish college students point out their favorite pieces as they strolled down the runway or to hear whispering among friends as they exchanged validating eyebrow-raises, confirming “CUTE!” while nodding their heads in agreement.</p>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 617px"><a href="http://www.modavantiblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/FINALE1.bmp"><img title="FINALE" alt="" src="http://www.modavantiblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/FINALE1.bmp" width="607" height="396" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">the Tasha Skirt by Tabii Just takes its final twirl on the runway</p></div>
<p>Models, designers, and participants alike were decked out in the latest <em>sustainable</em> fashion. “This is from A Peace Treaty!” <a href="https://twitter.com/Meg_Partridge" target="_blank">SFI Co-founder Meg Partidge</a> exclaimed with pride, flashing her jeweled finger. Is it true? Are we finally returning to a place in history where fashion can be regarded as valuable and desirable? We have come a long way since 1954. Perhaps we&#8217;ve even entered the future?</p>
<p>Want to learn more about the Sustainable Fashion Initiative at Princeton University? <a href="http://bit.ly/Xd3lqC" target="_blank">DIY: Be fashainable</a> and check out the SFI&#8217;s first edition of <a href="http://issuu.com/vertemag/docs/vertemag?mode=window&#38;pageNumber=1" target="_blank">VERTE magazine</a>, the new e-zine publication for sustainable fashion.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>The reason Jesus Christ has to argue, and the reason we have to show him arguing, is that not only in the Bible but ever since (and we all see it), when people come to Jesus Christ, they read his statements, they read his life, and they always try to take them and pour them into their existing assumptions about reality.</em></p>
<p><em>So people say, ‘Yes, Jesus Christ … basically he said what all the religions say: it’s all about love.’ Or, ‘Yes, Jesus Christ … basically he’s saying what all the philosophers have said: it’s really about living an unselfish life. It’s really about leading a life of character.’ Jesus Christ continually comes and says, ‘No, no, no. No one has ever said what I’m saying. No one has ever claimed the things I’m claiming.’</em></p>
<p><em>What he’s saying continually in here is ‘I demand you listen to me. I do not come into anybody’s live to revise or supplement or add to your current worldview. I come in to blast out all of your foundational assumptions. I demand to be the thing through which you see everything. I’m here to open up new vistas, new realms of knowledge. I’m here to explode your paradigms.’</em></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://johnniesblog.files.wordpress.com/2013/05/acid-mine-drainage-into-creek-05-10-2013.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image" id="i-9633" alt="Image" src="http://johnniesblog.files.wordpress.com/2013/05/acid-mine-drainage-into-creek-05-10-2013.jpg?w=487" /></a></p>
<blockquote><p>Water is a scarce and precious asset, particularly in the <a class="zem_slink" title="Western United States" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western_United_States" target="_blank" rel="wikipedia">western United States</a> where the demand for freshwater is far out-pacing the supply. In order to access <a class="zem_slink" title="Drinking water" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drinking_water" target="_blank" rel="wikipedia">clean water</a>, western states are proposing extraordinary investments, ranging from plans to spend $15 billion to transport water across the <a class="zem_slink" title="Nevada" href="http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=39.0,-117.0&#38;spn=3.0,3.0&#38;q=39.0,-117.0 (Nevada)&#38;t=h" target="_blank" rel="geolocation">state of Nevada</a>, to ideas for a pipeline from the <a class="zem_slink" title="Missouri River" href="http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=38.8136111111,-90.1197222222&#38;spn=0.1,0.1&#38;q=38.8136111111,-90.1197222222 (Missouri%20River)&#38;t=h" target="_blank" rel="geolocation">Missouri River</a> to <a class="zem_slink" title="Denver" href="http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=39.7391666667,-104.984722222&#38;spn=0.1,0.1&#38;q=39.7391666667,-104.984722222 (Denver)&#38;t=h" target="_blank" rel="geolocation">Denver</a> to offset the loss of water from the <a class="zem_slink" title="Colorado River" href="http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=31.9,-114.950833333&#38;spn=0.1,0.1&#38;q=31.9,-114.950833333 (Colorado%20River)&#38;t=h" target="_blank" rel="geolocation">Colorado River</a>, which in turn is struggling to provide water to seven states.</p>
<p>In the midst of declining <a class="zem_slink" title="Fresh water" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fresh_water" target="_blank" rel="wikipedia">fresh water</a> supplies, an increasing number of <a class="zem_slink" title="Underground mining (hard rock)" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Underground_mining_%28hard_rock%29" target="_blank" rel="wikipedia">hard rock mining</a> companies are generating water pollution that will last for hundreds or thousands of years and new projects are on the horizon. Perpetual management of mines is a rapidly escalating national dilemma.</p>
<p>Our research shows, for the first time, the staggering amount of our nation’s water supplies that are perpetually polluted by mining.</p>
<p>A lengthy review of government documents reveals that an estimated 17 to 27 billion gallons of polluted water will be generated by forty mines each year, every year, in perpetuity. This is equivalent to the amount of water in 2 trillion water bottles – enough to stretch from the earth to the moon and back 54 times.</p>
<p>Perpetual pollution from metal mines has contaminated drinking water aquifers, created long-standing public health risks, and destroyed fish and wildlife and their habitat. The primary cause of this lasting pollution – acid mine drainage – is well understood. Yet, no hard rock <a class="zem_slink" title="Open-pit mining" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open-pit_mining" target="_blank" rel="wikipedia">open pit mines</a> exist today that can demonstrate that acid mine drainage can be stopped once it occurs on a large scale.</p>
