Assumption: There is a degree of inequality of resource distribution which leads to a minimum of redistribution conflicts. We find that range between a Hoover inequality of 0.2 and 0.3. Scandinavian societies get closest to that. You know the 80/20 rule. This is similar to a way to describe inequal resource distributions: E.g. "80/20" could describe a situation where 80% of people own 20% of all resources, and 20% of people own 80% of ressources. (For distributions described in this way, the Hoover inequality is equal to the Gini inequality.) From this you can compute another inequality measure: the Hoover inequality: 100/0 -> 1 90/10 -> 0.8 80/20 -> 0.6 70/30 -> 0.4 60/40 -> 0.2 50/50 -> 0 Yet another inequality is the symmetric Theil redundancy: 100/0 -> indefinitely large 90/10 -> 1.758 80/20 -> 0.832 70/30 -> 0.339 60/40 -> 0.081 50/50 -> 0 Formulas for the Theil-S redundancy and the Hoover inequality: www.poorcity.richcity.org === Meaning === The symmetric Theil redundancy (blue curve) applies to redistribution processes which are perfectly stochastic. Example: Equalization processes in ideal gases. The Hoover inequality (purple curve) applies to intelligent redistribution of inequal distributions with minimum effort based on perfect knowledge about the distribution at any time. (For the groups split into one wealthy and one less wealthy part, the Hoover inequality is similar to the better known Gini inequality.) The difference (red curve) between both is information . ( You see that once you look at the formulas. ) On the left side the difference is negative. Societies in this range usually accept some inequality. Do people perceive an "information" which makes them want to reduce the inequality? On the right side the difference is positive. In societies in this range there usually are more complaints about inequality. Do people perceive an "information" which lets them tolerate a certain inequality? (Inequalities with the most negative differences can be found e.g. in Scandinavian countries.) Is that so? Can we compute and predict the acceptability of inequal resource distribunions? I am an engieer, not an economist. But we all know that there are tolerable inequalities and extreme inequalities which lead to violent redistribution processes.

This ship played an important role in the history of science . Print based on a drawing by Conrad Martens , etching published in: Francis Darwin, Life and Letters of Charles Darwin , p. 160, 1888. Conrad Martens' drawing has been engraved by Thomas Landseer and published in the year 1838 by H. Colburn in The Narrative of the Surveying Voyages of HMS Adventure and Beagle . Date: 1834-04-16 Location: Tierra del Fuego, Santa Cruz river, 50.1125°S and 68.3917°W maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=5... That is the position calculated by Captain Robert FitzRoy (who had no GPS). The error was small. The drawing shows that the site must have been a river bank (50.13°S, 68.39°W?) near the calculated position.

Assembled scans from original 19th century sources: • Print The Beagle Laid Ashore based on a drawing (1834-04-16) by Conrad Martens , etching published in: Francis Darwin, Life and Letters of Charles Darwin , p. 160, 1888. Conrad Martens' drawing has been engraved by T. Landseer and published in the year 1838 by H. Colburn in The Narrative of the Surveying Voyages of HMS Adventure and Beagle . • Bellman , Banker and Beaver from illustrations by H. Holiday to Lewis Carroll's The Hunting of the Snark , 1876

[left]: a segment of Henry Holiday's illustration to The Banker's Fate (after his encounter with the Bandersnatch ) in Lewis Carroll's The Hunting of the Snark (1876) and [right]: a horizontally compressed segment of The Image Breakers (1566-1568), an etching by Marcus Gheeraerts the Elder. The resemblance of the "noses" is obvious once you mirror the nose in this image about a horizontal axis. Reinterpratation of shapes (examples): The segment of the spectacle frame is less obvious. Blurr the corresponding segment in Gheeraert's etching and you understand how Henry Holiday worked here (blue box). Another segment of the spectacle frame additionally has been black&white inverted (green box). A cross(?) in Gheeraert's etching turns into a rectangular nostril. Holiday kept it rectangular in his illustration (yellow box).

The Merkel Roller unleashed. (Hand drawn and then vectorized) Angela Merkel (now German chancellor) on how to deal with obstacles to growth (Kiel, Germany, 2005-06-12): Where there are road blocks, "we'll have to roll them down." (Wo es Bremsklötze gebe, "da müssen wir sie niederwalzen.") For that ambitious goal she surely needs powerful equipment.

[en]: In 1992 I lived in Korea. The house had thin walls and my neighbour appreciated very much that I made a pencil drawing of my trumpet instead of playing it. That was my first "nature morte" ever. I simply drew what I saw - lying infront of me, not from a photo. - - Then I still didn't have a scanner. So I used my FAX machine to scan the picture. I lost the original. What you see here is the vectorized scan. [de]: Im Jahr 1992 lebte ich in Korea. Mein Haus hatte dünne Wände und meine Nachbarn begrüßten es, dass ich meine Trompete mit Bleistift zeichnete anstatt auf ihr zu spielen. Das war mein erstes "Stillleben" überhaupt. Ich zeichnete einfach, was ich vor mir liegend sah, also nicht von einem Photo. - - Damals hatte ich noch keinen Scanner. Darum benutzte ich mein FAX-Gerät, um das Bild einzuscannen. Das Original habe ich verloren. Hier ist der vektorisierte Scan widergegeben.

Source for "Alfred E. Neuman": en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Mad30.jpg After my Butcher/Jowett comparison I run into a page published by Art Neuendorffer . He discovered a resemblance between Henry Holiday's depiction of The Butcher in Lewis Carroll's The Hunting of the Snark and Alfred E. Neuman . Neuendorffer wrote: "When Mad Magazine was sued for copyright infringement, one defense it used was that it had copied the picture from materials dating back to 1911." Incidentially, my first copy of the The Hunting of the Snark was an American edition published in 1911. But there also is www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10201516021681606&set=o.115919138428537&type=1&stream_ref=10 (Jeffrey C. Hughes). 2017-09-24: It seems that Alfred E. Neuman and the Butcher are quite distant relatves only: ※ www.theparisreview.org/blog/2016/03/03/a-boy-with-no-birthday-turns-sixty ※ historylink.org/File/20210
