Headache Fever Stomach Ache

Second verse.

"We were for centuries
downtrodden and derided

Why Why are not one people are divided.


Let one flag one hope
us together
Already the hour has struck."

Snugride Replacement Cover

(UPD) Italian designers and animators in Japan.

The question "how much they get paid the authors of comics" is hot, among the experts.
there I would add "How are the authors of comics."

responses, on average, with occasional peaks of excellence, are, respectively, for Italy, "little" and "replaceable as a nullity" (even when they are not). How

as it is not, in the homeland of manga and animation (for those who have lived in Japan under a rock until now), they also have some nice problemucci the treatment of workers with art supplies. According to this article

the Japanese government has promoted incentives to "breed" of apprentices in the animation.

Why? Because there are less and less.

Why? Because they are poorly paid, a fixed amount (the production company does not give royalties to authors and production companies get only the crumbs of the sponsors, who pay the other hand, network TV).
In addition, production companies are controlled by elites who do not dare stagnant innovation. Do not tell me, says the Harvard Business School as summary from this article.


Exactly how little they are paid? In
investigation of a couple of years ago (2009), the average was 1.1 million yen for youth between 20 and 30 years, about twice those between 30 and 40.
To this we must add the lack of written contract for 47% of them and the lack of many business benefits (such as the traditional medical paid by the company, which is absent in 38% of cases).

At the turn of the time, not too different from today, about 10,000 € a year.

standardizing by GDP per capita compared to purchasing power , it's like a designer we would be paid € 9,400 per year.

The equivalent of € 9,400 per year,
person between 20 and 30 years,

is low enough to settle a group of workers.


conditions, as we see, are not very different between here and there, with the difference that the export animation in Japan is an industry that has a capacity to generate revenues of interest to a large or average investor . The Italian comic is not, and written contracts are a beast even rarer than in Japan.

Now, even the Italian comic starts to extinction like Japanese animation? The
Japanese situation is a premonition of the Italian situation?

is the love for the work (which borders on the romantic idea of \u200b\u200bthe artist struggling against the System ... becoming even more leverage) or ignorance of the conditions of work that can be expected which means that schools of comics who are not already empty?
O is hoping to emigrate to greener pastures abroad?

's your word, and authors.



UPDATE: I mistakenly wrote "Parameters for the average wages compared to purchasing power" instead of "parameter for GDP per capita compared to purchasing power." Sorry for the error, but the reasoning and the figures do not change.

Dry And Wet Cm Same Day

I mean, seriously?

Some of you know I'm a fan of the site www.Cracked.com for their surreal satire.

articles on the most incredible things in the world: from experiments to grow a steak with genetic engineering, a curiosity about what has been done to the sound of the lightsabers in Star Wars theme in photoshop contests, a collection of photos " impossible "in photoshop which has nothing to do down to historical anecdotes that do not teach in school to shame.

Today I open the site and there is an article titled "The 5 of the World's Craziest Exploits Shadiest Politician."

Translated: "The achievements of the craziest most political suspicious of the world ".

Given the track record of the site, one would expect some chief of South America, the Far East a dictator, an African warlord ... Oh, wait a sec ... Oh, porc ...



Here are the links to the article.

Part One: http://www.cracked.com/article_19070_the-5-craziest-exploits-worlds-shadiest-politician.html

Part Two: http://www.cracked.com/article_19070_the-5-craziest-exploits-worlds-shadiest-politician_p2.html


Now, the next it asks me to do is learn languages \u200b\u200bwill have an answer very, very sharp.
