1- The Great Wave off Kanagawa-(Kanagawa oki nami- ura) At the time of its creation, The great wave off Kanagawa (The great wave), 1830–34, was simply one of the compositions comprising Hokusai’s Mt Fuji series. Within a short period of time, however, it became a favourite with Edo’s print-loving public. Within four decades, the print was heralded by modern artists and thinkers in Europe, and during the twentieth century its status as, arguably, the single most famous image in all Asian art was established. In addition to The great wave’s sheer graphic beauty, there is a compelling compositional force in its contrast between wave and mountain. The horizon has been lowered to emphasise the height of the monstrous towering wave which stands in tense juxtaposition over the graceful lines of a diminutive Mt Fuji. The dynamic composition creates a coexistence between human frailty and the power of nature. We see tiny fishermen huddled in their sleek crafts ride down one wave, dive straight into the next and endeavour to come out the other side. Every morning these boats, named oshiokuribune, transported fish to markets in Edo Bay from villages on the Bōsō Peninsula. The lifelike tentacles of the wave are captivating, and the undulating water allow us to share in the boatmen’s perilous situation.

I would argue that given all the privileges that Society gives to Limited Liability Companies, that there should be one basic demand in return (regardless of profitability, or lack of it) That is, that all company communications be released to the public after a 10 year delay. Governments worldwide manage to do this after 10, 25 or 50 years. I don't see why corporations would rate the same privilege. Transparency is the best defence against corruption.

Taxes were not the main contributory factor. "Ireland continued to export large quantities of food, primarily to Great Britain, during the blight. In cases such as livestock and butter, research suggests that exports may have actually increased during the Potato Famine. In 1847 alone, records indicate that commodities such as peas, beans, rabbits, fish and honey continued to be exported from Ireland, even as the Great Hunger ravaged the countryside." https://www.history.com/topics/immigration/irish-potato-fami...

All non-white artists who have released an original recording (not a compilation) after Jane Jackson's Rhythm Nation in 1989 have been re-rated up since the 2012 survey. Without exception. Anything originally released in the 1950's rated down.

..."What was striking about all of these apps is that only three of them functioned primarily on an iPhone; in the vast majority of cases Apple was demanding in-app purchase offerings for functionality that was largely not dependent on an iPhone:"

Apple here is no different than the Telcos wanting to avoid only being paid for just being dumb pipes. If everybody else is making money building on that basic service they want a piece of that pie too.

Indians were descendants of middle class and entrepreneurial Kenyans,Ugandans expelled from those countries partly because they dominated them economically. They brought money and expertise with them. The Pakistanis were poor and uneducated by comparison.

Might the difference be the the quality of the Public Service in China and Singapore is much higher than elsewhere?

In Australia we have the staff still ruling us off in the electoral role. That usually takes a minute or less. The entire voting process (including queuing) depends upon the popularity of the individual voting booth and time of day, but is usually less than 10 minutes. This may be because there are an adequate number of booths and trained staff.But it is also because of compulsory voting. The highly likely attendance numbers per booth and their distribution across the day are known and can be planned for, unlike some other more random systems.

Not only that, Boeing and Airbus also heavily benefit from the R&D done at other companies. Add in generous subsidies from their parent government and you have a very attractive commercial offering, certainly.

Indeed, this kind of money is rarely invested without a known, outsized, expected return and, in this, I seriously doubt Boeing and Airbus and their owners are lacking in intelligence. I mean, who do we think they are - Winnie-the-Pooh?

Does this mean that if I take my iphone into an Apple Store in Australia for repair that a Genius could load unknown software (under legal compulsion) without Apple itself knowing?
