I wonder how people design dresses like that. It's not only a beautiful artifact, but also an element of the archetypal red-white-and-black story.

Полуголодная норма 8 1/2 пудов
Шолохов пишет Сталину о голоде в Вешенском районе в 1933 году. https://corporatelie.livejournal.com/189378.html
В нормальный 1931 год колхозники "получили - по сути - полуголодную норму / 8 1/2 пудов на едока/ , да и из этой нормы весною 1932 г. ... взяли на обсеменение часть выданного зерна."
Восемь с половиной пудов - это примерно 1280 калорий в день (= 36.121*8.5*1520/365). Надо еще, наверное, учитывать, что зерно было неочищенное. Так и получается, что в хороший год при средней дневной норме в примерно 2500 калорий люди жили впроголодь.
В конце 1932-го года зерно отбирали под пытками.

The upcoming meeting b/w Un and Trump can be turned into an interesting game theory problem.
1. Kim has a broken nuclear test system that can't be repaired in the foreseeable future. He's also under sanctions. His strategy is to sell the broken system to the West; his payoff is to remove the sanctions and get additional benefits from S.Korea, China, etc.
2. With nuclear N.K. and belligerent Trump, Xi faces a challenge to China's ability exercise military and economic control over the Asia-Pacific region. His strategy is to demonstrate his "peaceful power" in the region; his payoff is to replace the belligerent US as the regional superpower.
3. Trump faces domestic challenges exacerbated by Kim's ability to explode a nuclear bomb over a US territory. His strategy is to play a tough guy and show that his aggressive approach to diplomacy works; his payoff is to be seen domestically as a shrewd dealmaker.
4. Lee sees the diminishing role of Singapore as the US withdraws from TPP and China dominates the region. His strategy is to show relevance of East-West ties; his payoff is to remain an "honest intermediary" in the changing region.

... belief underpins desire and intention, and that belief can be wrong...
Dramatic irony occurs in any story in which the audience or some characters realize they know more than others. From the start of the Odyssey, we know more than any of the mortal characters.
--- Brian Boyd, On the Origins of Stories.
When we see a situation with conflicting desires DxD we should (re-)construct beliefs B and a functor from beliefs to desires B->DxD.
