The Magic of the Cities.
Zen promotes the rediscovery of the obvious, which is so often lost in its familiarity and simplicity. It sees the miraculous in the common and magic in our everyday surroundings. When we are not rushed, and our minds are unclouded by conceptualizations, a veil will sometimes drop, introducing the viewer to a world unseen since childhood. ~ John Greer

gobiernofederal al GDF. Que se diviertan mucho, nos desearon a coro todas las autoridades.
Shalalá, el futuro es milenario–, la quema de 17 mil petardos (uno por casi cada dos muertos de la guerra calderónica) y el desfile de los ejércitos que en otros siglos nos invadieron fue una revancha y una burla, una afrenta a los sentimientos más profundos del pueblo y una disculpa a las potencias contra las cuales nos hemos rebelado.
Que sea maldito interior y exteriormente. Que sea maldito en su pelo. Que sea maldito en su cerebro. Que sea maldito en la corona de su cabeza y en sus sienes, en su frente y en sus oídos; y en sus cejas y en sus mejillas; en sus quijadas y en sus narices; en sus dientes anteriores y en sus molares; en sus labios y en su garganta; en sus hombros y en sus muñecas; en sus brazos, en sus manos y en sus dedos, y en todas las vísceras de su cuerpo. Que el Hijo del Dios viviente, con toda la gloria de su majestad, lo maldiga, y que el cielo con todos sus poderes se subleve contra él, lo maldiga y lo condene. Amén.
gobiernoespurio, llena de angustia, de alarma y de urgencia por organizarse y actuar para detener esta debacle. ¿Quién dijo que
hacer cine sobre el narcotráfico es reproducir la mierda? El infierno, con las soberbias actuaciones de Joaquín Cosío, Damián Alcázar, Jorge Zárate, María Rojo y Ernesto Gómez Cruz, es una película extraordinaria. Ahora bien, si ustedes quieren reírse un poco más de nuestra pesadilla cotidiana, no se pierdan el espectáculo que Jesusa Rodríguez presenta hoy a las 19:00 y los próximos jueves, viernes y sábados a la misma hora en el museo Universum de la UNAM. Las crudas del bicentenario es una nueva joya del teatro de cabaret. Y si no, como dicen los columnistas que toman refresco sin hielo, al tiempo.

The informal sector is economic activity that is neither taxed nor monitored by a government, and is not included in that government's Gross National Product (GNP), as opposed to a formal economy. Examples are barter and gift economy. Although the informal economy is often associated with developing countries, where up to 60% of the labour force (with as much 40% of GDP) works, all economic systems contain an informal economy in some proportion. The term informal sector was used in many earlier studies, and has been mostly replaced in more recent studies which use the newer term. The English idioms under the table and off the books typically refer to this type of economy. The term black market refers to a specific subset of the informal economy in which contraband is traded; where contraband may be strictly or informally defined. Given the complexity of the phenomenon, the simplest definition of informal economic activity might be: any exchange of goods or services involving economic value in which the act escapes regulation of similar satchel acts. In developing countries, the largest part of informal work, around 70%, is self-employed, in developed countries, wage employment predominates. The majority of informal economy workers are women. Policies and developments affecting the informal economy have thus a distinctly gendered effect. Make your blog carbon neutral! For free!
