449th day of the Tens

No alternative to life. Except work for a change. 4K kilo-joules get removed and transferred by the likes of Wan Wijnen and other such apartment construction companies. Foremen worry that if it goes over the deadline, the appointed time for work, the cost for public money goes up.
It takes a whole a academic year to make an academic building. The migratory population of students see it go up and then leave town when its brand spanking new.
So Foremen feel relaxed and happy about not overshooting it. The deadline or the public money.
Health-and-safety measures go in place before anything goes up. This includes the 'tipper' which doesn't tip over.
An overtipper looks like a maitre giving another maitre a ten per cent'er.
Public money can only afford 10% for apartment building construction. Otherwise, the Foreman goes to the businesses men and asks them what they want constructing instead.
If we as consumers pursuade business with our custom to invest in public funding then we can make houses together.

448th day of the Tens

Lady Gaga continues to clause controversy both in media discussions surrounding her and the live performances procedding from her. Of course, those in the know realize that her backdrop, as well as her persona, directs people to Madonna. Belladonna!

The non-sensible one and the sensible one, Ciccione, the non-eternal and the eternal. Belladonna!

We, here at zeroequalsthree, perceive it as an elaborate ploy. Do we buy her shameless advertising or do we lap up the sex? Belladonna!

Do we participate in this as a sexual rite even if it appears to us as a Voyeuristic image, spreading out to a point.

«une visage sans visage?»

Take the consumption of pornography as an analogue for what we try to express here, contracting to a point. The symbol behind the playback of a pornographic recording goes into our vision. Consider this:

»Das Auge ist das Licht des Leibes. Wenn dein Auge lauter ist, so wird dein ganzer Leib licht sein«

Does it not lead to a true desire if we consume the image in an orgiastic state, or does it confuse our sexual sensibilities as if the image we consume leads us away from the light in sex to a dark and seedy possibility that may leave us wholly unsatisfied?

The real image internal fairs much better than the external idolatrous celebrity.

447th day of the Tens

We, here at zeroequalsthree, received word today from Reuters News Agent, Mo Simir, who tells us that:

" ... 'Green Zones' in Iraq expand to accomodate regular Baghdadi civilians and Iraqi citizens alike. If the Military Industrial Complex, responsible for the contracting of reconstruction projects, can successfully expand the 'Green Zone' areas safely, then, everyday people from Iraq can make business successfully. "

"The 'Perimeter', says Mister Simir, "looks like a volatile zone but as long as normal day-to-day life continues without interruption then the threat to safety lessens."
He continues:

"Yet, the challenge for the Military Industrial Complex lies in making the green zones safe whilst employing less force and manpower to maintain it. We, at Reuters, think that if Iraqi institutions inhabit these safer zones, then, more citizens would move to these areas and leave the zones where terror keeps them in fear."

446th day of the Tens

Military Intelligence renders itself obsolete like the old warheads of the Cold War. If only. MI5 receives word from travellers these days in the interests of National Security, regularly returning. The worthy, those who travail across Europe and return, tell the authorities what they know. Reports suggest that this kind of intelligence passes muster, and so, it gets passed on after into more reliable hands and more reliable authorities. We receive regular word, here @zeroequalsthree, that the terrorists, who ever they choose to attack, may possesses and share the possibility of nuclear capability, and, if in the wrong hands, the employability. We do not as yet know whether a technology could deploy a nuclear warhead without catching the Private Eye.
The way that this intelligence finds assimilation interests us as it may provide clues to the secret machinations and surreptitous movements of cell branches of many different kinds. What would the IRA do with such information?

446th day of the Tens

The FTSE All-Share as an index loses more money in stock market investment than both Gold and Oil. Of course, Gold appreciates in value according to the current post-recession climate. Pawn shops and brokers alike accepted all types of gold, traded in, melted down and returned to the relevant treasury. Since the infamous date of 'peak oil', July 11th 2008, Oil also appreciates in the post-recession climate. Professional Stock Broker, Jack Stoker, says:
"Buy now, sell later, Hassan-i-Sabbah! Everything must go."
He tells us, that if one were to split an investment across the three markets, FTSE, Gold, & Oil, with equal investment, the losses on FTSE index would work for both aprreciating values that compete against it. He says:
"Expect a rise of 33.36% in Gold & Oil markets and the same as a loss on all FTSE 'Share' indexed."
According to Stoker, the best time to sell occurs when the plus markets begin to show a long-tail distrubution of loss.
"It may look like the stocks begin to fall sharply, but their loss appreciates slower than other markets, so it's a safe hedge bet," Stoker tells us.

445th day of the Tens

Hindus and Moslems alike within the Commonwealth Territory of Queensland, Australia, express concerns over whether the Hillsong Church operates like a cult. Charismatic leaders lead impressionable and suggestible minds to a type of reception.
"Receive it now," says the Minister, stood above a young girl, professing ultimate faith.
She wants to receive something from him.
"He's coming!" cry the children en masse as the charismatic leader approaches.
Apparently, a sexual rite took place on a Hilltop, and the children interfered with the other children's sexuality. Everyone hit puberty.

445th day of the Tens

The city of Maastricht's contribution to the Gross Decimal Product of the Netherlands last week broke even at love all, as per the Tennis Term for score. Economically, consumers were worried that the citizens might be undercutting business in the other provinces of the Netherlands. Less, less, less, they cried in desperate conservation.
It was a hard week for the 'junkers' and the proprietors alike. The 'junkers' or, rather, the Unionists argued and argued over pay conditions, and the rest of the workers worried over their prices. It was as-if everyone was walking around with prices attached to their heads!
Economist's tips show that GDP contributions were at their lowest until a miraculous turn-around on Thursday of last week. As the men-of-letters say, "Thursday breaks the back of the week, Friday's got that feeling of a weekend not worried over working."
A hoard of rich businessmen accompanying politicians had come to Maastricht to discuss GDP in the European Union and they and their mistresses, glaguous terms-in-tow, were honoured to have the finest jewelery lavished upon them from the finest jewelers in the city. Plus GDP! Plus Three ...
