It is going to be impossible to understand my role in any of this without making a giant leap of faith.

 Dragonair was for a time China's largest airline, but is now one of three. It was started in 1985.

A picture of me wearing the Shaolin Temple armband given to me by a member of the Temple. These cannot be bought, only earned, and each of the 17 beads is donated by a different trainer and presented at graduation. It shows a certain level of martial arts proficiency, such as the ability to break eight bricks with a single blow from the fist, and is an extremely prized possession.

Here is some more of my letter to the minister:

My opinion is that the internet is overpriced. I pay $75 per month from Telecom, for 40Gb of data, and a landline. I don't need 40Gb, only 2-3 Gb. The cost should be $30 ($29.95) per month. The Commerce Commission has said Chorus should charge about $10 per month. I agree, although they could make profits at a lot less. Also the speed. Copper lines can easily handle all the speed I need. I do not need "superfast". If I use a web camera for Skype- which I don't need to, and it goes too fast, I simply go through more data, which I don't need.

Some of this may be none of your concern, however let me point out a few historical facts.

Optical character recognition
, usually abbreviated to OCR, is the mechanical or electronic conversion of scanned or photographed images of typewritten or printed text into machine-encoded/computer-readable text. It is widely used as a form of data entry from some sort of original paper data source, whether passport documents, invoices, bank statement, receipts, business card, mail, or any number of printed records. It is a common method of digitizing printed texts so that they can be electronically edited, searched, stored more compactly, displayed on-line, and used in machine processes such as machine translation, text-to-speech, key data extraction and text mining. OCR is a field of research in pattern recognition, artificial intelligence and computer vision.
In 1978, Kurzweil Computer Products began selling a commercial version of the optical character recognition computer program. LexisNexis was one of the first customers, and bought the program to upload paper legal and news documents onto its nascent online databases. Two years later, Kurzweil sold his company to Xerox, which had an interest in further commercializing paper-to-computer text conversion. Xerox eventually spun it off as Scansoft, which merged with Nuance Communications.[citation needed]
In 1977 I went to the United States, and ended up at Evergreen State College in Washington State where I  used a timeshare computer runniing Modified Basic, on terminals we could take home and plug into a telephone modem. I did my basic programming there and helped to "modify" the primary software. Some of the terminals were outdated even then, only old "teletype" machines.

JavaScript is a prototype-based scripting language with dynamic typing and has first-class functions. Its syntax was influenced by C. JavaScript copies many names and naming conventions from Java, but the two languages are otherwise unrelated and have very different semantics. The key design principles within JavaScript are taken from the Self and Scheme programming languages.[6] It is a multi-paradigm language, supporting object-oriented,[7] imperative, and functional[1][8] programming styles.


On the client side, JavaScript was traditionally implemented as an interpreted language but just-in-time compilation is now performed by recent (post-2012) browsers.

The application of JavaScript in use outside of web pages—for example, in PDF documents, site-specific browsers, and desktop widgets—is also significant. Newer and faster JavaScript VMs and platforms built upon them (notably Node.js) have also increased the popularity of JavaScript for server-side web applications.

The reference to Sun being an old Chinese company, and that Dragon is the parent company does not mean that the Emperor, (Dragon) is still in power in China. However, Dragon is still an international company.

Dragon Airlines is a Chinese company formed in Hong Kong, and many Dragonair employees work for the Chinese Government through the Chinese Government examination system.

The imperial examination was a civil service examination system in Imperial China designed to select the best potential candidates to serve as administrative officials for the purpose of recruiting them for the state's bureaucracy. The major purpose of the tests was to evaluate the educational attainment and merit of the examinees as part of the recruiting process for appointees to various government offices, mostly in civil service. Examination officials awarded successful candidates with various degrees, of which the Jinshi or Chin-shih (進士/进士) was the standard advanced degree, similar to a modern doctorate, which was generally the last stage in a series of qualifying tests, of which the local exams might lead to local prestige and a lucrative appointment, but were not really "imperial". The emperor himself (or herself) often took a personal interest in the best qualified examinees.

After the fall of the Qing in 1911, Dr. Sun Yat-sen, the leader of the newly risen Republic of China, developed similar procedures for the new political system through an institution called the Examination Yuan, one of the five branches of government, although this was quickly suspended due to the turmoil in China between the two world wars, such as the warlord period and the Japanese invasion. The Kuomintang administration revived the Examination Yuan in 1947 after the defeat of Japan. This system continues into present times in Taiwan along with the regime itself after loss of the mainland to the Communist Party of China.
