ADELAIDE BOOKS is proud to offer the latest work by Raghe Dulane Blues Under the Swedish Grey Skyline hitting stores everywhere on April 2nd, 2020.

A family of African immigrants living in Uppsala is part of a new wave of immigrants coming to Europe and America, from Africa and some parts of Asia. Today, one of the major challenges facing Western Societies, including Australia is how to integrate these new groups of people into their societies. Some people claim that a single major cause, which has been hindering the integration of immigrants in different Western societies, is the way these immigrant groups choose to practice their culture, and right-wing groups never fail in pointing this out, again and again. On the other hand, through their violent actions, Muslim fundamentalist groups validate this thesis.

Raghe Dulane was born and grew up in Arusha, Tanzania. He lives currently in Uppsala, Sweden. He has traveled widely, worked as a journalist, and had also carried out research work on the politics of identity and its impacts on society in general. Apart from research work, Raghe has done advocacy work on peace, conflict and conflict resolutions. In Sweden, he follows keenly all discussions dealing with the subjects of multiculturalism, religious extremism and discrimination. He holds PhD. from Uppsala University. He is married and has four children.

The day of the sale, the absentee bid book was full and online demand soared. Bidders from all over the world participated online driving the strong results.

Milford, CT, May 8, 2020 -- Shannon’s online-only Fine Art auction on April 30th exceeded expectations, selling 80 percent of the 185 lots. Shannon’s spring auction is usually a destination for collectors, with a busy preview, a full saleroom and a bank of 20-plus phone lines. Adapting to the COVID global pandemic, Sandra Germain, managing partner, made the decision to hold an online sale with fewer lots in place of the full catalog auction, which has been postponed.

Instead of in-person interactions, the staff at Shannon’s fielded phone calls and emails from their home offices, sent video previews to clients and scheduled previews by appointment. The day of the sale, the absentee bid book was full and online demand soared. Bidders from all over the world participated online driving the strong results.

Leading the auction were two paintings by New York School Abstract Expressionist, Milton Resnick. Ulysses from 1956 sold for $137,500 and Apparatus from 1958 sold for $30,000. During the sale, auctioneer, Peter Coccoluto, opened the bidding on Ulysses at $45,000 and fielded aggressive bidding from online bidders and competing absentee bids. Listening to the auction felt like being present in the saleroom. In a matter of minutes, the bidding jumped past the $100,000 mark before slowing down and ultimately selling to an absentee bidder.

Late 19th and early-20th century American Art, a leading genre in every Shannon’s sale, also did well led by a Daniel Ridgway Knight painting Summer Afternoon, Seine Valley that sold for $52,000 and a J.G. Brown, Shoeshine Boy, that sold for $20,800.

Other highlights in American Art, include an Eric Sloane, Berkshire Barn, that sold for $27,500 against a $12,000-18,000 estimate; a Peter Sculthorpe, watercolor that brought $10,635; an Arthur Wesley Dow, Marshes and Dunes at Ipswich, sold for $8,750 and a Reginald Marsh, Three Girls on the Boardwalk, sold for $7,500.

Germain reported increased international participation in the sale, commenting “We achieved excellent results with our international lots and were pleased to see active participation from Europe, Asia and Latin America. People around the world are paying attention to online auctions now more than ever.” Argentinian artist Romulo Maccio’s, Palabras, sold for $28,600 to a Latin American buyer.

The star-studded sale featured lots by notable artists including Andy Warhol, David Hockney, Helen Frankenthaler, Antonio Jacobsen, Henry Gasser, Edward Bannister, Martha Walter and others. Shannon’s is already gathering consignments for their next online auction scheduled for June 25th and planning their full cataloged sale for later this summer.

Healthcare industry in the US is an oligopoly that is destroying U.S economy.

District of Columbia, May 8, 2020 -- Healthcare, an industry that requires heightened focus, especially in view of the coronavirus pandemic that has gripped the world, qualifies as an Oligopoly according to industry experts and observers. The U.S. healthcare system is twice as costly as the next industrial country and three times the average cost of the thirty-five members and ranked last in quality of service according to the Organization of Industrial and Developing Countries. Click here for detailed summary : https://healthcare-oligopoly.blogspot.com/2020/05/detailed-summary.html

Numerous violations of the antitrust laws and tax laws have been mentioned in a detailed report which states clearly that necessary action on such violations is not enforced on the healthcare industry by the government. The report also detail the reasons for growth of the Healthcare Oligopoly, the cover-up by the IRS, and provides reasonable solutions for fixing the problem.

The oligopoly allegations get further established from the data over the past 30 years which shows no gain in salaries of U. S employees working in the healthcare industry. However, at the same time, employers' have increased the amount they spend on employees because they pay for the rising costs of health care benefits.

Some of the key factors highlighted in the report about the healthcare industry of the USA that shows there is heavy spending on the healthcare sector, resulting in high healthcare cost and poor quality of service. Click here for more information: https://healthcare-oligopoly.blogspot.com/2020/05/key-factors-highlighted-in-report.html

It is also evident that the U. S spends more on healthcare than any other country from the information provided here:

https://www.pgpf.org/blog/2019/07/how-does-the-us-healthcare-system-compare-to-other-countries

Many experts point out that in the U.S, the cost for certain medical procedures are much higher than what it would cost in other OECD countries. While healthcare costs are around 10% of the GDP in most developed countries, in the U.S it was 18% by 2019. While this is because of the large employments in this sector, it is also evident that there are gross violations of the consumer protection laws, illegal billing practices, and lack of correct taxing practices. A cover-up by the Internal Revenue Service cannot also be absolutely ruled out.

Employer-paid healthcare system is also responsible for increasing the healthcare costs in every step of the manufacturing process. The economic destructive force of employer-paid health care costs is caused by the accumulation of health care costs. It can be compared to the principle of value-added taxes in the production of a good sold. During each step, the employer adds the cost of health care benefits to the product or service. Then at each step, the cost is marked up and then passed on to the next buyer of the good, until the final good is manufactured and sold. This cycle of passing on costs must be stopped in order for the manufacturing industry to regain its competitive edge.

High healthcare costs has also caused huge damages to the manufacturing industry.

Here are the details of how it works: https://healthcare-oligopoly.blogspot.com/2020/05/high-healthcare-costs-has-also-caused.html

There are solutions available to protect the manufacturing industry against these damages. The first step should be to lower healthcare costs to match other nations. Also, the employer pay healthcare system must be eliminated and a personal/business income tax system must be introduced.

https://healthcare-oligopoly.blogspot.com/2020/05/healthcare-and-income-tax-system.html

The creation of the healthcare industry Oligopoly was done very systematically by the federal government. The consumers have been defrauded by the system that has been deliberately designed to remain undetected and to act as a money-churning machine for those in power. The cunningly crafted Medicare/Medicaid Programs have resulted in the suspicious uniform billing system. The attempt to control medical costs by creating Health Maintenance Organizations (HMOs) has helped eliminate competition.

https://healthcare-oligopoly.blogspot.com/2020/05/medicaremedicaid-programs.html

The failure of the law enforcement agencies, the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) antitrust group, the inability to enforce the consumer protection laws are all factors leading to this Oligopoly. Other reasons can also be added such as the failure of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) because of its poor grasp of the contract law and not enforcing Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) for accrual taxpayers and the collection of taxes mandated by the tax code.

To make sure that the quality of life is improved, the government must consider lowering the nation’s healthcare costs substantially. It must also focus on improving the salaries of the employees and make the manufacturing industry competitive with other countries. It is equally important to have a single-payer healthcare system, with universal coverage, and change the tax system to pay for healthcare and other social benefits. https://healthcare-oligopoly.blogspot.com/
