Industrial Action by UK Prison Officers
The ever-reliable BBC reports on industrial action taken by Prison Officers in the UK. The national strike is concerned with pay and conditions.
This is the latest unrest in public services in the UK. A growing number of public services are facing job losses and experiencing vast amounts of change. Together with the pressures that the private sector are experiencing, I am left wondering what will happen to the UK economy and employment, in the future?
The private Sector are facing job losses and employees are facing a shortage of full-time, permanent employment. There has been an increase in part-time and temporary work. Employees in both sectors have experienced an increase in over-time hours. It has recently been reported that the divide between rich and poor in the UK has widened.
Is the population of the UK destined to become "benefit-dependant", unemployed (or under employed) and seeking new ways to activate their leisure time? Or will the UK become a nation of entrepreneurs, seeking to stimulate economic growth in original areas?
If this is the case, what are the areas where business can thrive and grow? My money is on the arts and sport. Traditionally seen as economically unviable, these areas contribute to social inclusion, both have potent links with health and the arts (in particular) encourage creative thought, which is useful to business, particularly now as the work place is bogged down with governmental red-tape. If there is a growth in peoples' leisure time, then meeting this demand would, naturally, be financially lucrative.
Of course, the Internet is another potential source of income and economic growth. However, can electronic media sustain the kind of workforce that, traditionally the Industrial Sector and, more recently, the Service Industries have employed? Only time will tell....

I take photos for a club promoter friend and one chick refused to be seen. Maybe she thinks she's made of stone...

Vespers (10)
very nearly morning
you are
sleeping
gravity
refashions dream
into grainy daylight
the point is
is not
love
thy
neighbor or
thyself in her
in him as
further self
containment
quiet
exacts whispers
to feed itself
thus poise overtakes
the soft
moment
selfing
furnished play
in new arrangements
it is morning
repeatedly pale
convergence
of
what happened
that did not
preferring time tables
flexible and
condensed
maybe
the hurt
of daylight lifts
thus and perhaps
can be
remade
into
hushed gentling
as in plant
life made strong
as flexible
flowers
outlast
lightning and
accompanying noise set
to convene mid-
brain to
be
held
and spoken
to nearby haloes

Crystalize
Thanks to MissBoux for letting me use her photograph in this image
This is a technique I'm going to call Crystalising or Crystalization, that is somewhere between "Fractal Art" and "Cloning".

Plant a flag
The heads of state have decided to plant a flag on the north pole. To sustain the claim to the northern pole of the earth magnetic field. This action supports the ongoing War On Peace, however it requires a budget raise.
Your opinion is valued. Your opinion will be reflected in the one-liners supporting the upcoming elections.

| Plant a flag to claim resources | |
|---|---|
| yes, the flag is sufficient to support the claim | |
| yes, but adding a fence would help | |
| yes, but only if we issue north pole postal stamps too | |
| yes, we have to send colonists to defend the flag | |
| yes, I trust my government. They will spend the budget wisely | |
| no, I am from another dimension. please explain what a flag has to do with a magnetic field | |

New Lining
Shut my eyelids; the lights are blinding
And crashing into my fuzzy outline.
Destroying vessels of time with poor timing,
I will open wide and inhale the new lining.

should the War On Peace (WOP) be dirty or clean?
the heads of state are contemplating about the ongoing WOP. Should WOP be dirty or clean? Your opinion is valued. Your opinion will be reflected in the one-liners supporting the upcoming elections.
| should the War On Peace (WOP) be dirty or clean? | |
|---|---|
| yes i agree WOP is indigenous to mankind. However we are civilized now and we should agree on rules. | |
| yes I agree we are civilized. And WOP is only indigenous to other mankinds. We should force rules upon them. | |
| yes I trust my government. They will choose wisely. | |
