Chapter 04 - The God Emperor of the Four Deaconates Verses Batak Inc. “You've been out of circulation for quite a while if you've not heard of The God Emperor of the Four Deaconates Verses Batak Inc.” “I was not born Sol, and a lot of the work I have done for Uncle is not in the area, if you know what I mean.” again the lizard smile, I feel a cold chill.

“I suppose it all came to a head in my younger years. Batak Inc were one of the first adopters of the Junis Project. They invested heavily and even completely financed one of the Initialiser vessels. As such they got rights to whatever the probe and it's offspring returned to earth. Their CEO Roger Batak himself even managed to get his DNA accepted as clone templates for the Junis model sixes that would eventually master the extraction and distribution of resources back to earth. Chapter 03 - Room Without a View. We stand eyeing each other suspiciously for a minute as data streams from mesh to mesh. So this is the infamous Bonetta Smith, artisan, artist, and rumoured to be one of Hassan’s greatest assassins. She holds sole command of his inner cadre, the hand picked, personally vetted inner body guard of his inner body guard. She's a young fifty if even that, but like most of the higher echelon her looks wouldn't put her past twenty, re-juve and augmented surgery.

The Smiths can afford the best, and they don't scrimp on the credits. I realise I'm staring, she smiles, I blush, and suddenly feel very old.To stem my embarrassment I scan the hull. “The gods, and your uncle’s grace, have been very generous. “Wood! “Wait until you see the wine cellar.”She gently opens the book and flicks through the pages. “Uncle has a few.

My understanding of post-modernism at its most basic is everything is reducible to text. To comprehend anything one must first reduce it to words, to understand context one must textualise (I'm probably making words up here as usual) the content. Reducing it to text makes it more easily able to be manipulated.

The experience essentially beyond words is corrupted in the analysis, in the attempt to understand. Schroeder’s cat, the beautiful day, the perfect kiss, become less for the attempt to describe them. History is lies, with each analysis, fact is re-work to fit another point of view. With a limited (finite) amount of symbols, the alphabet, accepted language (the dictionary defining proper words) mathematically there can only be a limited (calculable) number of permutations. I don’t claim any of this is original. Chapter 05 - Morning Dance. The imperative to pee is too much for me, so I abandon the cosy warmth of my bed early.

Singapore: Map, History. Singapore ( i/ˈsɪŋəpɔr/), officially the Republic of Singapore, is a Southeast Asian island city-state off the southern tip of the Malay Peninsula, 137 kilometres (85 mi) north of the equator. An island country made up of 63 islands, it is separated from Malaysia by the Straits of Johor to its north and from Indonesia's Riau Islands by the Singapore Strait to its south. The country is highly urbanised with very little primary rainforest remaining, although more land is being created for development through land reclamation.

Part of various local empires since being inhabited in the 2nd century AD, Singapore hosted a trading post of the East India Company in 1819 with permission from the Sultanate of Johor. The British obtained sovereignty over the island in 1824 and Singapore became one of the British Straits Settlements in 1826. Singapore is the world's fourth leading financial centre, and its port is one of the five busiest ports in the world. Etymology History Government and politics. World Economic Outlook Press Conference (Singapore) World Economic Outlook Press Conference (Singapore) Opening Remarks By Kenneth Rogoff, Economic Counsellor and Director of Research International Monetary Fund Singapore, October 15, 2002 Thank you for coming today. I am here to discuss the global economy with special focus on Asia. However, to anticipate some of your likely questions, I will preface my opening remarks with a brief statement on the economic effects of the recent tragedy in Bali.

Economic analysis is ill-equipped to come to grips with the human tragedy of terrorist attacks where consequences for our sense of safety, our sense of well-being, go infinitely beyond anything that can be captured in numbers. Trying to assess the impact at this juncture of the most recent global terrorist incident, which occurred in Bali, is speculative at best. The security issue is not just a regional issue, it is a global one. Turning now to the global economy: VirtualTourist.com.

Expats for Expats Homepage. Paris Underground. The Bunker It's pretty clear how you get in there, but it's also pretty comical: headfirst with your partner pushing your legs through. Again there's a different tunnel architecture. We're supposedly underneath a high school. It's more brick-like. I guess the kids never make it this far downstairs. But the Germans did. Most of the Nazi vestiges are gone now from the bunker but there are still warnings like "RAUCHEN VERBOTEN", and sealable metal doors that look like they belong on a U2 submarine.

One has a lot of wall mounted electrical conduit boxes - makes me think this was a communications bunker. Stephane is pointing to a fissure in the wall. It's a sideways crawl up and then down. New Tunnels? Stephane smiles at me. We are true explorers now. Every now and then there are little offshoots that go for 20 or 30 feet before coming to a dead end. As our mapmakers continue I look to Emmanuel for guidance. Stephane is so proud of his newfound mapping ground.
