Despite the best efforts of dictator Mr Kim, the royal couple appeared undaunted and were welcomed by huge crowds waving Dutch and South Korean flags as they stepped off the plane. | [ |
Not worried: King Willem-Alexander and Queen Maxima arrive in Seoul despite more threats from the North . | [ |
Women at the top: Maxima (left) and Park Geun-Hye - South Korea's first female president . | [ |
Warm welcome: The Dutch couple were met by crowds waving Dutch and South Korean flags . | [ |
Pleased: Both halves of the Netherlands' royal couple looked delighted by their warm welcome . | [ |
The Dutch royals are fresh from a successful visit to Japan, where they met Emperor Akhito and attended a trade conference. | [ |
Formally welcomed by President Park Geun-Hye outside the striking Blue House presidential palace, the royals were all smiles as they, along with the South Korean president, met well-wishers lined up along the red carpet. | [ |
Afterwards, they were taken inside where King Willem-Alexander held bilateral talks with the South Korean president ahead of a three-day tour of the country. | [ |
Maxima and Willem-Alexander then travelled to the National Cemetery in the capital, which was established by presidential decree in 1956 - three years after the Korean War ended. | [ |
The conflict, one of the first of the Cold War, saw British and US troops line up alongside the South Koreans, while the Soviet Empire slugged it out alongside Communist rebels in the north. | [ |
Threats: North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un has ramped up the belligerent rhetoric over the weekend . | [ |
Talks: After the formal welcome, the royals and President Geun-Hye decamped to the Blue House for talks . | [ |
All smiles: The Dutch royal couple looked thrilled to be in South Korea for a three-day tour . | [ |
Signature: King Willem-Alexander signs the Blue House visitor's book, watched by Queen Maxima . | [ |
Allies: King Willem-Alexander shakes hands with President Geun-Hye, watched by dignitaries from both nations . | [ |
Common cause: Like the Japanese tour, the Dutch tour of South Korea is aimed at boosting trade . | [ |
Eventually, the war, which ended in 1953, resulted in the partition of Korea with the North remaining communist while the South developed into a modern democracy. | [ |
Only Korean veterans of the Korean and Vietnam wars can be buried there, although the burial ground does have one foreign resident - Briton Francis William Schofield. | [ |
During their visit to the cemetery, the couple met Korean War veteran Kwak Kyung-chan, with several others lining up to tell the couple of their experiences. | [ |
Although a delegation from North Korea has visited the cemetery, relations between North and South Korea remain frosty with Mr Kim ramping up the belligerent rhetoric over the weekend. | [ |
News of North Korea's latest attack submarine also came hot on the heels of photos released of unpredictable dictator Un visiting an air base, where he checked out equipment on a fighter jet and apparently ‘gave instructions’ to pilots. | [ |
Tribute: Following the meeting with President Geun-Hye, the couple visited the National Cemetery . | [ |
Remembrance: There, they paid tribute to the soldiers killed during the Korean War of the 1950s . | [ |
Split: The war saw the UK and US line up with what is now South Korea against the communists of the north . | [ |
Respectful: During their visit to the cemetery, the couple met with some of South Korea's war veterans . | [ |
Honour: Only they can be buried in the National Cemetery, although there is one Briton buried there . | [ |
According to local news agencies, Un then climbed into the cockpit of one of the pursuit aircraft and congratulated the pilots for their skills before promoting four squadron leaders on the spot. | [ |
News of Kim’s visit prompted a South Korean source to remark that the North’s pilots have little experience in air battles and are ‘seized with fear’ at the thought of taking on Seoul’s airmen who have access to far superior technology. | [ |
Whether Kim’s visit - his ninth to air force units this year - and the launching of the nuclear-capable submarine was just ‘sabre-rattling’ or a severe warning of troubles ahead was not immediately apparent. | [ |
But the work on the 1958 Soviet vessel to bring it up to standards capable of putting to sea and possibly firing ballistic weapons is being watched carefully by South Korea’s military. | [ |
The red marks left on the wrists of Toni Williams after police handcuffed her. | [ |
The vulnerable 20-year-old has autism and the mental capacity of a five-year-old . | [ |
Police have come under fire for handcuffing a young woman who has autism and the mental capacity of a five-year-old. | [ |
Toni Williams, 20, was left with bruises on her wrists after officers refused to remove the cuffs. | [ |
Her mother Leigh Williams insists they should never have handcuffed a vulnerable adult and has now issued a formal complaint against Merseyside Police. | [ |
Officers were called to their house in Birkenhead, Merseyside, after the 20-year-old became over-excited and bit her mother and hit her. | [ |
She alerted a social worker, who, together with a community nurse, insisted they call the police. | [ |
Ms Williams refused to call police herself to deal with her own daughter, but other relatives did. | [ |
She left the house before they arrived, leaving her relatives with Toni as they waited for officers, and later joined up with her at Arrowe Park Hospital, on the Wirral, Merseyside. | [ |
Some of the bruising on the arms of Toni Williams and who was handcuffed after the autistic 20-year-old became over excited and bit her mother, Leigh. | [ |
A formal complaint has now been issued against Merseyside Police . | [ |
Ms Williams said she had asked officers to move the handcuffs to the front of her daughter's body, which would have allowed her to cuddle her toy dog - which she takes everywhere and allows her to feel safe. | [ |
The handcuffs were eventually removed after requests from medical staff. | [ |
The handcuffs were only removed from autistic Toni Williams' wrists after requests from medical staff once the 20-year-old had been taken to Arrowe Park Hospital on the Wirral . | [ |
She said: 'I didn't want to call the police, but the social worker and community nurse said we had to. | [ |
When Leigh Williams called Merseyside Police to complain about the handcuffs placed on her daughter Toni's wrists, she claimed she was asked whether she wanted compensation. | [ |
The picture shows some of the marks left on 20-year-old Toni's arms after officers handcuffed her . | [ |
After arriving at hospital to see her daughter - who also suffers with epilepsy and has been having seizures since she was six months old - Ms Williams found she was in a state of anxiety and deeply upset, made worse by the handcuffs. | [ |
Ms Williams, who moved back to her hometown two years ago to be near the support of her family and friends, said she had lost respect for the police. | [ |
More than 700 people have joined a Facebook group set up by Ms Williams, calling for more awareness of autism. | [ |
She has also gathered the support of Birkenhead MP Frank Field, who has written to the police on her behalf demanding that reports be released. | [ |
The distressed mum added: 'Officers need to be trained properly to deal with vulnerable adults and need to assess the situation properly. | [ |
A spokesman for Merseyside Police confirmed a complaint had been made in relation to the arrest. | [ |
He said: 'The force takes all complaints seriously and investigates them thoroughly and to the highest standard. | [ |
The story of "material progress," he writes, "is one of both growth and inequality." | [ |
It is thus hardly surprising that inequality within societies, as well as between them, has become one of the most pressing issues of our time. | [ |
Many in the United States fear that we are developing the social structure of much of Latin America, with a small, fabulously rich elite facing off against the masses, hundreds of millions of people who see no ladder into the middle class. | [ |
And we seem to be facing a future of factories in which the work is done by robots and computers, with only a few highly skilled humans to make sure everything is running properly; of Downton Abbey redux where the highly pampered fortunate few employ an army of retainers to care for themselves and their property. | [ |
The jobs that created and sustained the middle class in the United States, at least, are nowhere in sight. | [ |
That question was the theme of the 2013 World Economic Forum. | [ |
Klaus Schwab summarized the results of that discussion in a blog post, declaring that "capitalism" is due to be replaced by "talentism." | [ |
He pointed out that capitalism is not an ideology of free markets and individual responsibility, but rather an economic system in which capital is the most important factor of production, requiring an infrastructure that allows it to be amassed and invested easily. | [ |
That economic system was a product of the industrial revolution, creating an economy driven by investment in large enterprises. | [ |
Today, however, "capital is being superseded by creativity and the ability to innovate -- and therefore by human talents -- as the most important factors of production." | [ |
Geoff Mulgan, former economic adviser to Tony Blair, sees capitalism a little differently. | [ |
He argues that it has always been two-faced in that it rewards not only "creators, makers, and providers" on the one hand, but also "takers and predators" on the other. | [ |
Our current system of capitalism has indeed never been more creative, but also never more predatory. | [ |
Going forward, we must design rules to reward the creators and discourage the predators. | [ |
That is a lovely vision, at least for everyone who feels talented and creative. | [ |
Certainly technology puts more at the fingertips of the world's creators, innovators, inventors and entrepreneurs than ever before. | [ |
We can start a business from our laps: Creating a website, hiring and communicating with employees, assembling services from accounting to payroll to marketing all on-line. | [ |
Technologists at the New America Foundation have developed a wireless mesh communication system that can be downloaded and installed by any community seeking to create a fast and effective intranet, for free. | [ |
The sharing economy allows individuals to make money out of renting rooms, cars, power mowers and snow blowers, and anything else they want to pass on to others, changing the underlying concept of what it means to "own" something in the first place. | [ |
Still, all creators are still riding on the backs of investors -- public investors. | [ |
Mariana Mazzucato, an economics professor at Sussex University, has just made a powerful case that new technologies from the iPhone to the GPS to immunizations have all been initially funded and incubated by government investment. | [ |
Incubation is a nursery image, enabling an infant to survive and thrive. | [ |
States invest in their societies the way parents invest in children, not to create dependence but to enable independence. | [ |
A successful, competitive state recognizes the underlying social contract between citizens who pay taxes and governments that invest in the physical and legal infrastructure necessary for businesses to flourish, from roads to regulations. | [ |
Elizabeth Warren was right when she said that nobody in the United States "got rich on their own." | [ |
They depended on roads, bridges, police forces, educated workers, and the other appurtenances of a modern industrialized state. | [ |
Ask anyone in a developing country without decent roads, much less enforceable rules. | [ |
Or anyone riding the trains in the United States and contending with the continual delays, breakdowns, and speeds far slower than in Europe or Asia. | [ |
Or passengers jouncing over the rutted streets of even Mayor Michael Bloomberg's New York. | [ |
But we don't just need a physical infrastructure. | [ |
We need an infrastructure of care that invests in human capital. | [ |
Instead of the "nanny state," taking care of citizens from cradle to grave, we need both public and private investment to allow us to take much better care of each other. | [ |
Call it the "leg-up state," enabling parents to nurture the talent and potential of their children without taking their own talent and potential out of the economy. | [ |
Supporting children as they work to help their parents remain independent, healthy, and productive for as long as possible at the other end of life. | [ |
Valuing and rewarding teachers, childcare workers, early education providers, coaches, nurses, therapists, social workers, community volunteers and members of any other caring profession. | [ |
The leg-up state is also the answer to growing inequality. | [ |
An economy that flourishes through large investments of financial capital into an infrastructure of both competition and care is much more likely to be an economy of genuinely equal opportunity, focused less on providing jobs than enabling individuals to create their own jobs. | [ |
The great escape of the 21st century need not be a zero-sum game. | [ |
Those who have found a road to a still richer and more rewarding world can at least unlock the prisons and light the path for others to follow. | [ |

Linden, 23, was fooling around with the fingerprint sensor on the iPhone he purchased Friday morning. | [ |
He found it dull locking and unlocking it with his own finger, so he decided to find out what would happen if he programmed the front right paw of his pet Chihuahua, Hurley, into the gadget. | [ |
Much to his surprise, the pawprint did the job. | [ |
