YIKES. Well if that wasn't awkward we don't know what is...
While wrapping up an interview with Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones during the live E! Red Carpet show at the Oscars, Ryan Seacrest totally dissed the "Chicago" Oscar winner.
E! has been pimping out its "mani cam" for several awards shows now, and had already committed a huge faux pas earlier when Jennifer Lawrence bent down to deliver a funny message to Emma Stone -- only to find out the camera had lost power.
Fail #1.
Fast forward to the end of the Douglas/Zeta-Jones interview. Seacrest finishes his fashion questions, thanks the couple for their time and turns to camera to toss to co-host Giuliana Rancic.
Catherine must have been excited about the mani cam all day because she eagerly exclaims "Do you want me to do this?!" while wiggling her fingers ... only to be totally ignored.
Fail #2.
Seacrest even paused, seemingly taking in what she said, yet still brushed off the request. (Ok sure, someone was probably talking to him via his earpiece, it is live TV afterall, but just look at Catherine's face. So. Uncomfortable.)
You have to see it to really take in the awkwardness. Watch the clip above.
Plus, check out all the fashion moments below:

Everyone loves a kawaii toadstool mushroom! Now you can make an adorable easy sugar cookie mushroom cookie or two, and plunk them into the cutest woodland party-time cake. I've partnered with Becel to showcase their new Becel Sticks! Pre-measured, casual times, no need to bring to room temperature – one more reason to be "zen cupcake" this holiday season. I've been enjoying the meditative nature of piping buttercream on sugar cookies these days and aiyeee these shroomies just turned out so cute!
Buttercream Piped Mushroom Sugar Cookies
For the cookies
- 1/2 cup Becel Sticks, 1 stick
- 1 1/2 cups white granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
For the buttercream
- 1 cup Becel sticks, 2 sticks
- 2 cups icing sugar, sifted
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 ounce (2 tbsp.) red gel food colouring
For the decorations
- White candy pearls
- Piping bag fitted with a multi-opening grass tip
- Piping bag fitted with a small open star tip
Make the cookies
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the Becel and sugar on high until light and fluffy, about two minutes.
- Using a rubber spatula, scrape down the sides of the bowl. With the mixer on low speed, add the eggs and the vanilla extract, mixing until combined.
- With the mixer on low speed, add the flour until a dough forms; do not overmix.
- Turn the dough onto a large piece of plastic wrap; form into a flat disc, then refrigerate for 2 hours or overnight.
- Remove the dough from the fridge. On a flour-dusted work surface, roll the dough out to 1/2 inch thickness. Punch out mushroom shapes using a large mushroom cutter, or use large and small mushroom cutters for cute variance!
- Carefully lift the cut shapes and place on a parchment paper lined baking sheet. Chill in freezer for 15 minutes.
- In the meantime, preheat the oven to 350 degrees °F.
- Bake the cookies for 9-11 minutes, turning pans halfway to ensure even baking, until cookies are lightly browned. Let cool completely on wire racks before frosting!
Make the buttercream
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the Becel, icing sugar and pure vanilla extract on high speed until light and fluffy and doubled in volume, about two minutes.
- Divide buttercream evenly into two medium bowls. Tint one bowl with the red gel food colouring, mixing until combined.
Decorate the cookies
- Set the completely cooled sugar cookies on a clean work surface.
- Fill a piping bag fitted with a multi-opening grass tip with the red buttercream.
- Fill a piping bag fitted with a small open-star tip with the white buttercream.
- Pipe the top of the cookie mushroom cap with the red buttercream in short spurts.
- Pipe the bottom stem of the cookie mushroom with white buttercream drop stars.
- On the piped mushroom cap, carefully add the white candy pearls in an even and eye-pleasing pattern.
- To decorate a cake with these cookies, press the cookie gently into a buttercream-topped cake, anchoring each cookie using a hidden wooden BBQ skewer cut to size to help hold up the cookie.

Kitchen Tune-Up appeals to entrepreneurs transitioning into business ownership from corporate backgrounds. The standout remodeling concept offers personalized service and incredible results. Everyone has a kitchen, and kitchens are the heart of the home. Our belief is that you don't have to spend a fortune or be displaced from your home for weeks in order to improve your living space.
Not all kitchens need to be replaced in order to be transformed into a room that homeowners can be proud of. Kitchen Tune-Up offers multiple options to update kitchens including:
1-Day Tune-Up: The wood cabinets our clients already have in their homes can look like new! Our technicians follow a 9-step process to rid wood cabinets of the dirt, oils, and grime that builds up with everyday use of a kitchen. We can install new decorative hardware to modernize the cabinets, and even add accessories, such as roll-out trays and spice racks, to make the best use of all of the cabinet space.
Cabinet Painting: Some customers want a different color for their cabinets, but do not have the budget to change the doors and drawer fronts. Our technicians follow our step-by-step process to paint the cabinetry in one of our 10 popular colors.
Cabinet Redooring: Sometimes homeowners like the color of their existing cabinets, but not door the style. Adding new cabinet doors and drawer fronts in a different style can make a dramatic difference and modernize the space, typically in only one day. This is a great solution for apartments and multi-unit housing.
Cabinet Refacing: When the cabinet boxes are in good condition but our clients don't like the color, style, or even the wood species, this service can make a dramatic change to the exterior of the cabinets. Our refacing installers are trained to complete the project so that no one will ever know the cabinets were refaced. They look like brand-new cabinets. The great news for the customer is that in less than a week, with no demolition and without spending a fortune, they get a new kitchen that reflects their taste.
Custom Cabinets: Sometimes the existing cabinets are not in good condition, or a new design is needed to make the kitchen function better. We can help with this, too. We have a professional design team to help our owners create the customer's dream kitchen.
Franchisees in the Kitchen Tune-Up system take advantage of the knowledge and experience shared between owners – the domino effect of the expertise is invaluable. Fostering entrepreneurship with minimal overhead, our franchisees primarily manage their small employee base and consistently oversee effective sales and marketing programs.

Congrats to my colleagues in the Solaris team who released Solaris 11.4 today. Despite the 11.x moniker, this is actually a major Solaris release; Oracle has just decided to go down the perpetual macOS X / Windows 10 version numbering route from now on. (This development is unlikely to faze Solaris veterans, who have been using SunOS 5.x since 1992.)
Being the first major Solaris release in 7 years, it's also the first to ship with a GNOME 3 desktop. So thanks, as always, to everyone in the GNOME and related FOSS communities who made that possible.
On a personal note, this version also ships the last significant Solaris project I worked on, which during development was known as the Analytics WebUI, but now goes by the marketing-approved moniker of the Observability Tools System Web Interface. It's always nice when something you've worked on sees the light of day, and it's even nicer when you know somebody else will have to deal with any complaints 😊

Language: Italian
Climate: The climate varies considerably from the north to the south of Italy.
In the north of the country — the area between the Alps and the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines — the climate is harsh, with very cold winters and very hot, particularly humid summers. In central Italy the climate is milder, with a smaller difference in temperature between summer and winter and a shorter and less intense cold season than in the north; summers are longer, but the sultriness of the northern cities is mitigated by the sea.
In southern Italy and the islands, winters are never particularly harsh, and spring and autumn temperatures are similar to those reached in the summer in other areas of Italy.
Time Zone: CST — Central European Time
International phone code: 39
Currency: Euro
Capital: Rome
Transportation: Intercontinental airlines mainly arrive in Rome and Milan, with Rome being the main international gateway into the country. Trains arrive from Austria, France, Germany, Spain and Switzerland but since December 2011 there is no longer any direct connection with eastern Europe. Trains in Italy are generally good value, frequent but of mixed reliability. There are different train types: high-speed trains, intercity, regional trains and international trains. Italy has a well-developed system of motorways in the north; the south is less well served in terms of quality and frequency.
Gay Italy:
In the western world, Italy gives Greece a run for its money in laying claim to the earliest depictions of same-sex relationships. Cave paintings from the Val Camonica region depict sex between men dating back more than 8,000 years. Sex between men was fairly common in ancient Rome, often falling along class lines between master and slave, or teacher and pupil.
Then along came the Vatican. The seat of the Catholic Church has held great sway over the nation for generation upon generation, and the social climate has been very conservative.
But in recent decades, gay activists have made great steps forward — most notably in 2000 when Gay World Pride attracted more than 500,000 marchers, who filled the streets of the Eternal City. While same-sex marriage is still not recognized, homosexuality was decriminalized in 1989.
In a more liberal-minded, and increasingly secular, Italian culture, it's not uncommon to see openly gay couples walking down the streets of Rome, Milan, Florence, and university cities like Pisa. But be careful in smaller towns, where more conservative attitudes (not to mention machismo) may prevail.

Hungry dolphins herd mullet into muddy net
WEEKI WACHEE (FOX 13) - In the shallow waters near Weeki Wachee, dolphins hunt for mullet in a fascinating way. And Michael McCarthy from See Through Canoe was lucky enough to catch them in action.
The dolphins chase the fish into shallow areas where the bottom is covered in a layer of murky mud. Once the mullet are in a group, dolphins swim in circles around the fish, creating a muddy enclosure the fish try to leap from.
Instead, they leap right into the waiting jaws of a hungry dolphin.
McCarthy witnessed a pair of dolphins readying themselves for the hunt, so he flipped on his camera. The first dolphin can be seen slowly approaching an area, and then rocketing into a circle. The second dolphin swims from the left, almost as if the first was setting the second up for a feast.
Just as the first dolphin completes the circle, fish begin to appear like popping corn from the center. Both dolphin dive nose first into the buffet. The second dolphin then starts to make a second circular swim to keep the mullet trapped.
Being able to watch animals carry out this kind of complex maneuver is one of the many reasons living in or visiting Florida is such a pleasure.
Take a look at more wildlife videos on the See Through Canoe Facebook page.

Waiting on Wednesday: Iced by Karen Marie Moning
Expected Release Date: 30th October 2012
(Release date obtained from Goodreads)
Goodreads link is here.
The year is 1 AWC—After the Wall Crash. The Fae are free and hunting us. It's a war zone out there, and no two days are alike. I'm Dani O'Malley, the chaos-filled streets of Dublin are my home, and there's no place I'd rather be.
Dani "Mega" O'Malley plays by her own set of rules—and in a world overrun by Dark Fae, her biggest rule is: Do what it takes to survive. Possessing rare talents and the all-powerful Sword of Light, Dani is more than equipped for the task. In fact, she's one of the rare humans who can defend themselves against the Unseelie. But now, amid the pandemonium, her greatest gifts have turned into serious liabilities.
Dani's ex–best friend, MacKayla Lane, wants her dead, the terrifying Unseelie princes have put a price on her head, and Inspector Jayne, the head of the police force, is after her sword and will stop at nothing to get it. What's more, people are being mysteriously frozen to death all over the city, encased on the spot in sub-zero, icy tableaux.
When Dublin's most seductive nightclub gets blanketed in hoarfrost, Dani finds herself at the mercy of Ryodan, the club's ruthless, immortal owner. He needs her quick wit and exceptional skill to figure out what's freezing Fae and humans dead in their tracks—and Ryodan will do anything to ensure her compliance.
Dodging bullets, fangs, and fists, Dani must strike treacherous bargains and make desperate alliances to save her beloved Dublin—before everything and everyone in it gets iced.

text: THE ECONOMY - With their enthusiastic backing of President Obama and the Democratic Party on Election Day, the bluest parts of America may have embraced a program utterly at odds with their economic self-interest. The almost uniform support of blue states' congressional representatives for the administration's campaign for tax "fairness" represents a kind of bizarre economic suicide pact. Any move to raise taxes on the rich — defined as households making over $250,000 annually — strikes directly at the economies of these states, which depend heavily on the earnings of high-income professionals, entrepreneurs and technical workers. In fact, when you examine which states, and metropolitan areas, have the highest concentrations of such people, it turns out they are overwhelmingly located in the bluest states and regions.Ironically the new taxes will have relatively little effect on the detested Romney uber-class, who derive most of their income from capital gains, taxed at a much lower rate. They also have access to all manner of offshore dodges. Nor will it have much impact on Silicon Valley millionaires and billionaires, or the Hollywood moguls and urban land speculators who constitute the Democratic Party's "good rich," and enjoy many of the same privileges as their wealthy conservative counterparts.The people whose wallets will be drained in the new war on "the rich" are high-earning, but hardly plutocratic professionals like engineers, doctors, lawyers, small business owners and the like. Once seen as the bastion of the middle class, and exemplars of upward mobility, these people are emerging as the modern day "kulaks," the affluent peasants ruthlessly targeted by Stalin in the early 1930s.The ironic geography of the Democratic drive can be seen most clearly by examining the distribution of the classes now targeted by the coming purge. The top 10 states with the largest percentage of "rich" households under the Obama formula include true blue bastions Washington, D.C., which has the highest concentration of big earners, Connecticut, New Jersey, Maryland, Massachusetts, New York, California and Hawaii. The only historic "swing state" in the top six is Virginia, due largely to the presence of the affluent suburbs of the capital. These same states, according to the Tax Foundation, would benefit the most from an extension of the much-lambasted Bush tax cuts.The pattern of distribution of "the rich" is even more marked when we focus on metropolitan areas. Big metro areas supported Obama, particularly their core cities, by margins as high as four to one. Besides New York, the metro areas with the highest percentage of high-earning households include such lockstep blue cities as San Francisco, Washington, San Jose, Atlanta and Los Angeles.The income tax hit may not be the only pain inflicted on these areas in the President's drive for greater "fairness." Moves to curb mortgage interest deductions for affluent households also would fall predominately on these same areas. The states with the highest listing prices — and the biggest mortgages on average – are the president's home state of Hawaii, followed by the District of Columbia, New York, California and Connecticut. According to the Census Bureau and the Federal Housing Agency, median home values in California are 200% higher than the national median, and in New York they're 150% higher; in contrast, red Texas' prices are below the median.The contrast in prices is even greater between metropolitan areas. The highest prices — and thus largest mortgages — are in the deep blue havens of San Francisco, New York and Los Angeles. If the mortgage interest deduction is capped for loans, say, over $300,000, homeowners in these cities will suffer far more than in key red state cities like Dallas or Houston, where homes are at least half the price.The curbing of the mortgage interest deduction constitutes only one part of a broader effort to cut back on all itemized deductions. This would hit states with the highest rates of people taking such deductions: California, New York, the District of Columbia, Connecticut and New Jersey, according to the Wall Street Journal. In contrast, the states least vulnerable to this kind of leveling reform would be either red states such as Indiana, Alaska or Kentucky, or classic "swing" states such as Iowa and Ohio.Of course, one can argue that these changes follow the precepts of social justice: Rich people and rich regions should pay more. Yet being "rich" means different things in different places, due to vast differences in costs of living. The cost of living in New York and Los Angeles, for example, is so high that the adjusted value of salaries rank in the bottom fifth in the nation. In other words, a couple with two children with a $150,000 income in Austin or Raleigh may be, in terms of housing and personal consumption, far "richer" than one making twice that in New York or Los Angeles.What would a big tax increase on the "rich" mean to the poor and working classes in these areas? To be sure, they may gain via taxpayer-funded transfer payments, but it's doubtful that higher taxes will make their prospects for escaping poverty much brighter. For the most part, the economies of the key blue regions are very dependent on the earnings of the mass affluent class, and their spending is critical to overall growth. Singling out the affluent may also reduce the discretionary spending that drives employment in the personal services sector, retail and in such key fields as construction.This prospect is troubling since many of these areas are already among the most unequal in America. In the expensive blue areas, the lower-income middle class population that would benefit from the Administration's plan of keeping the Bush rates for them is proportionally smaller, although the numbers of the poor, who already pay little or nothing in income taxes, generally greater. Indeed, according to a recent Census analysis, the two places with the highest proportions of poor people are Washington, D.C., and California. By far the highest level of inequality among the country's 25 most populous counties is in Manhattan.Finally we have to consider the impact of the new tax rates on the fiscal health of these states. Four of the five states in the poorest shape fiscally, according to a recent survey by 24/7 Wall Street, all have congressional delegations dominated by Democrats — California, New Jersey, Rhode Island and Illinois (the one red state is Arizona). Slower economic growth brought about by higher taxes — compounded by high state taxes — is unlikely to make their situation any better.So what can we expect to happen if the fiscal cliff appears, or if the President and his party get their taxes on the rich? One can expect a proportionally greater impact on citizens and the budgets of the already expensive, high-tax states, where the new kulak class is concentrated. It may also spark a greater migration of people and companies to less expensive, lower-tax areas.Perhaps the greatest irony in all this is that the Republicans, largely detested in the deep blue bastions, are the ones most likely to fall on their swords to maintain lower rates for the mass affluent class in the bluest states and metros. If they were something other than the stupid party, or perhaps a bit more cynical, they would respond to the President's tax proposals by taking a line from their doddering cultural icon, Clint Eastwood: make my day.(Joel Kotkin is executive editor of NewGeography.com and is a distinguished presidential fellow in urban futures at Chapman University, and contributing editor to the City Journal in New York.

User:Michiexile/MATH198/Lecture 4
Recall the construction of a cartesian product of two sets: . We have functions and extracting the two sets from the product, and we can take any two functions and and take them together to form a function .
Similarly, we can form the type of pairs of Haskell types: Pair s t = (s,t)
. For the pair type, we have canonical functions fst :: (s,t) -> s
and snd :: (s,t) -> t
extracting the components. And given two functions f :: s -> s'
and g :: t -> t'
, there is a function f *** g :: (s,t) -> (s',t')
An element of the pair is completely determined by the two elements included in it. Hence, if we have a pair of generalized elements and , we can find a unique generalized element such that the projection arrows on this gives us the original elements back.
This argument indicates to us a possible definition that avoids talking about elements in sets in the first place, and we are lead to the
Definition A product of two objects in a category is an object equipped with arrows such that for any other object with arrows , there is a unique arrow such that the diagram
commutes. The diagram is called a product cone if it is a diagram of a product with the projection arrows from its definition.
In the category of sets, the unique map is given by . In the Haskell category, it is given by the combinator (&&&) :: (a -> b) -> (a -> c) -> a -> (b,c)
We tend to talk about the product. The justification for this lies in the first interesting
Proposition If and are both products for , then they are isomorphic.
Proof Consider the diagram
Both vertical arrows are given by the product property of the two product cones involved. Their compositions are endo-arrows of , such that in each case, we get a diagram like
with (or ), and . There is, by the product property, only one endoarrow that can make the diagram work - but both the composition of the two arrows, and the identity arrow itself, make the diagram commute. Therefore, the composition has to be the identity. QED.
We can expand the binary product to higher order products easily - instead of pairs of arrows, we have families of arrows, and all the diagrams carry over to the larger case.
Binary functions
Functions into a product help define the product in the first place, and function as elements of the product. Functions from a product, on the other hand, allow us to put a formalism around the idea of functions of several variables.
So a function of two variables, of types A
and B
is a function f :: (A,B) -> C
. The Haskell idiom for the same thing, A -> B -> C
as a function taking one argument and returning a function of a single variable; as well as the curry
procedure is tightly connected to this viewpoint, and will reemerge below, as well as when we talk about adjunctions later on.
The product came, in part, out of considering the pair construction. One alternative way to write the Pair a b
type is:
data Pair a b = Pair a b
and the resulting type is isomorphic, in Hask, to the product type we discussed above.
This is one of two basic things we can do in a data
type declaration, and corresponds to the record types in Computer Science jargon.
The other thing we can do is to form a union type, by something like
data Union a b = Left a | Right b
which takes on either a value of type a
or of type b
, depending on what constructor we use.
This type guarantees the existence of two functions
Left :: a -> Union a b
Right :: b -> Union a b
Similarly, in the category of sets we have the disjoint union , which also comes with functions .
We can use all this to mimic the product definition. The directions of the inclusions indicate that we may well want the dualization of the definition. Thus we define:
Definition A coproduct of objects in a category is an object equipped with arrows such that for any other object with arrows , there is a unique arrow such that the diagram
commutes. The diagram is called a coproduct cocone, and the arrows are inclusion arrows.
For sets, we need to insist that instead of just any and , we need the specific construction taking pairs for the coproduct to work out well. The issue here is that the categorical product is not defined as one single construction, but rather from how it behaves with respect to the arrows involved.
With this caveat, however, the coproduct in Set really is the disjoint union sketched above.
For Hask, the coproduct is the type construction of Union
above - more usually written Either a b
And following closely in the dualization of the things we did for products, there is a first
Proposition If are both coproducts for some pair in a category , then they are isomorphic.
The proof follows the exact pattern of the corresponding proposition for products.
Algebra of datatypes
Recall from Lecture 3 that we can consider endofunctors as container datatypes. Some of the more obvious such container datatypes include:
data 1 a = Empty
data T a = T a
These being the data type that has only one single element and the data type that has exactly one value contained.
Using these, we can generate a whole slew of further datatypes. First off, we can generate a data type with any finite number of elements by ( times). Remember that the coproduct construction for data types allows us to know which summand of the coproduct a given part is in, so the single elements in all the 1
s in the definition of n
here are all distinguishable, thus giving the final type the required number of elements.
Of note among these is the data type Bool = 2
- the Boolean data type, characterized by having exactly two elements.
Furthermore, we can note that , with the isomorphism given by the maps
f (Empty, T x) = T x
g (T x) = (Empty, T x)
Thus we have the capacity to add and multiply types with each other. We can verify, for any types
We can thus make sense of types like (either a triple of single values, or one out of two tagged pairs of single values).
This allows us to start working out a calculus of data types with versatile expression power. We can produce recursive data type definitions by using equations to define data types, that then allow a direct translation back into Haskell data type definitions, such as:
The real power of this way of rewriting types comes in the recognition that we can use algebraic methods to reason about our data types. For instance:
List = 1 + T * List
= 1 + T * (1 + T * List)
= 1 + T * 1 + T * T* List
= 1 + T + T * T * List
so a list is either empty, contains one element, or contains at least two elements. Using, though, ideas from the theory of power series, or from continued fractions, we can start analyzing the data types using steps on the way that seem completely bizarre, but arriving at important property. Again, an easy example for illustration:
List = 1 + T * List -- and thus
List - T * List = 1 -- even though (-) doesn't make sense for data types
(1 - T) * List = 1 -- still ignoring that (-)...
List = 1 / (1 - T) -- even though (/) doesn't make sense for data types
= 1 + T + T*T + T*T*T + ... -- by the geometric series identity
and hence, we can conclude - using formally algebraic steps in between - that a list by the given definition consists of either an empty list, a single value, a pair of values, three values, et.c.
At this point, I'd recommend anyone interested in more perspectives on this approach to data types, and thinks one may do with them, to read the following references:
Blog posts and Wikipages
The ideas in this last section originate in a sequence of research papers from Conor McBride - however, these are research papers in logic, and thus come with all the quirks such research papers usually carry. Instead, the ideas have been described in several places by various blog authors from the Haskell community - which make for a more accessible but much less strict read.

TOKYO (AP) — Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida, at his first troop review Saturday, renewed his pledge to consider "all options," including acquiring enemy base strike capability, and vowed to create a stronger Self-Defense Force to protect the country amid growing threats from China and North Korea.
Kishida said the security situation around Japan is rapidly changing and that "the reality is severer than ever," with North Korea continuing to test-fire ballistic missiles while advancing its capability, and China pursuing a military buildup and increasingly assertive activity in the region.
"I will consider all options, including possessing so-called enemy base strike capability, to pursue strengthening of defense power that is necessary," Kishida said in an address to hundreds of Ground Self-Defense Force members in olive-colored helmets and uniforms.
Kishida, who took office in October, served as top commander for the first time at Saturday's Self-Defense Force troop review held at the main army base Camp Asaka, north of Tokyo. About 800 troops gathered for the inspection, according to the Defense Ministry.
"The security environment surrounding Japan has been rapidly changing at an unprecedented speed. Things that used to happen only in science-fiction novels are today's reality," Kishida said. He said his government will lead "calm and realistic" discussions to determine what is needed to protect people's lives and gain their understanding.
The possibility of possessing so-called enemy base strike capability has been a divisive issue because opponents say it violates Japan's war-renouncing Constitution.
Kishida has shifted his dovish stance to a more hawkish one, apparently to please influential leaders within his governing party, including former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, and to strengthen his grip on power. He now advocates increasing Japanese military capability and spending.
On Friday, Kishida's Cabinet approved a 770 billion yen ($6.8 billion) request for an extra defense budget through March to expedite the purchase of missiles, anti-submarine rockets and other weapons amid rising concern over the escalation of military activities by China, Russia and North Korea.
The request, still pending parliamentary approval, is a record for an extra defense budget and will bring Japan's military spending for the current year to a new high of more than 6.1 trillion yen ($53.2 billion), up 15% from 5.31 trillion yen in 2020. The combined budget for 2021 will be just over 1% of Japan's GDP, keeping its customary cap.
Kishida has said he is open to doubling Japan's military spending to cope with the worsening security environment. Critics also say Japan, as the world's fastest-aging country with a shrinking population, should allocate more money toward health care and other services.
Compared to past troop reviews, which included 4,000 soldiers, more than 200 vehicles and dozens of warplanes, Saturday's event was significantly scaled down to minimize the impact on regular troop activity, officials said. There was no parade or public viewing, and only nine tanks and other vehicles participated in the online event.

Type 508 Accommodation and the title of the report in the subject line of e-mail. Measles --- United States, January 1--April 25, 2008Measles, a highly contagious acute viral disease, can result in serious complications and death. As a result of a successful U.S. vaccination program, measles elimination (i.e., interruption of endemic measles transmission) was declared in the United States in 2000 (1). The number of reported measles cases has declined from 763,094 in 1958 to fewer than 150 cases reported per year since 1997 (1). During 2000--2007,* a total of 29--116 measles cases (mean: 62, median: 56) were reported annually. However, during January 1--April 25, 2008, a total of 64 confirmed measles cases were preliminarily reported to CDC, the most reported by this date for any year since 2001. Of the 64 cases, 54 were associated with importation of measles from other countries into the United States, and 63 of the 64 patients were unvaccinated or had unknown or undocumented vaccination status. This report describes the 64 cases and provides guidance for preventing measles transmission and controlling outbreaks through vaccination, infection control, and rapid public health response. Because these cases resulted from importations and occurred almost exclusively in unvaccinated persons, the findings underscore the ongoing risk for measles among unvaccinated persons and the importance of maintaining high levels of vaccination. Measles cases in the United States are reported by state health departments preliminarily to CDC, and confirmed cases are reported officially via the National Notifiable Disease Surveillance System, using standard case definitions and case classifications. Cases are considered importation associated if they are 1) acquired outside the United States (i.e., international importation) or 2) acquired inside the United States and either epidemiologically linked via a chain of transmission to an importation or accompanied by virologic evidence of importation (i.e., a chain of transmission from which a measles virus is identified that is not endemic in the United States). Other cases in the United States are classified as having an unknown source. During January 1--April 25, 2008, a total of 64 preliminary confirmed measles cases were reported from the following areas: New York City (22 cases), Arizona (15), California (12), Michigan and Wisconsin (four each), Hawaii (three), and Illinois, New York state, Pennsylvania, and Virginia (one each) (Figure). Patients ranged in age from 5 months to 71 years; 14 patients were aged <12 months, 18 were aged 1--4 years, 11 were aged 5--19 years, 18 were aged 20--49 years, and three were aged >50 years, including one U.S. resident born before 1957.§ Fourteen (22%) patients were hospitalized; no deaths were reported. Transmission occurred in both health-care and community settings. One of the 44 patients for whom transmission setting was known was an unvaccinated health-care worker who was infected in a hospital. Seventeen (39%) were infected while visiting a health-care facility, including a child aged 12 months who was exposed in a physician's office when receiving a routine dose of measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine. Fifty-four (84%) of the 64 measles cases were importation associated: 10 (16%) of the 64 were importations (five in visitors to the United States and five in U.S. residents traveling abroad) from Switzerland (three), Israel (three), Belgium (two), and India and Italy (one each); 29 (45%) cases were epidemiologically linked to importations; and 15 (23%) cases had virologic evidence of importation. The remaining 10 (16%) cases were from unknown sources; however, all occurred in communities with importation-associated cases. Specimens from 14 patients were genotyped at CDC, and four different genotypes were identified: three from Arizona (genotype D5), three from California (D5), five from New York City (one in a case epidemiologically linked to an imported case from Belgium and four in cases in communities where importations from Israel had occurred; all D4), two from Wisconsin (H1), and one from Michigan (D5). Fifty-six of the 64 measles cases reported in 2008 have occurred in five outbreaks (defined as three or more cases linked in time or place). In New York City, an outbreak of 22 cases has been reported, including four importations and 18 other cases (10 importation associated). In Arizona, 15 cases have been reported; the index patient was an unvaccinated adult visitor from Switzerland. In San Diego, California, 11 cases have been reported, and an additional case spread to Hawaii; the index patient in the San Diego outbreak was an unvaccinated child who had traveled to Switzerland. In Michigan, four cases have been reported; the index patient was an unvaccinated youth aged 13 years with an unknown source of infection. In Wisconsin, four cases have been reported; the index patient was a person aged 37 years with unknown vaccination status who likely was exposed to a Chinese visitor with measles-compatible illness. Sixty-three of the 64 patients were unvaccinated or had unknown or undocumented¶ vaccination status, and one patient had documentation of receiving 2 doses of MMR vaccine. None of the five patients who were visitors to the United States had been vaccinated. Among the 59 patients who were U.S. residents, 13 were aged <12 months and too young to be vaccinated routinely, seven were children aged 12--15 months and had not yet received vaccination, 21 were children aged 16 months--19 years, including 14 (67%) who claimed exemptions because of religious or personal beliefs (Table). Among the 18 patients aged >20 years, 14 had unknown or undocumented vaccination status, two had claimed exemptions and acquired measles in Europe, one had evidence of immunity because of birth before 1957, and one had documentation of receiving 2 doses of MMR vaccine. Of the five U.S. residents with measles who were vaccine eligible and had traveled abroad, all were unvaccinated. One was a child aged 15 months who was not vaccinated before travel, and two were adults who were unvaccinated because of personal belief exemptions. For two adults, the reason for not being vaccinated was unknown. Reported by: SB Redd, PK Kutty, MD, AA Parker, MSN, MPH, CW LeBaron, MD, AE Barskey, MPH, JF Seward, MBBS, JS Rota, PA Rota, PhD, L Lowe, PhD, WJ Bellini, PhD, Div of Viral Diseases, National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases, CDC. Editorial Note:Although ongoing measles transmission was declared eliminated in the United States in 2000 (1) and in the World Health Organization (WHO) Region of the Americas in 2002 (2), approximately 20 million cases of measles occur each year worldwide. The 2008 upsurge in measles cases serves as a reminder that measles is still imported into the United States and can result in outbreaks unless population immunity remains high through vaccination. Among the 64 confirmed measles cases, prior vaccination could be documented for only one person. Before introduction of measles vaccination in 1963, approximately 3 to 4 million persons had measles annually in the United States; approximately 400--500 died, 48,000 were hospitalized, and 1,000 developed chronic disability from measles encephalitis (1). Even after elimination of endemic transmission in 2000, imported measles has continued to create a substantial U.S. public health burden; of the 501 measles cases reported during 2000--2007, one in four patients was hospitalized, and one in 250 died (1). Thus far in 2008, five U.S. residents and five visitors have been documented as acquiring measles abroad. Of these 10 persons, nine acquired measles in the WHO European Region. These importations likely are related to an increase in 2008 in measles activity in Europe. In Switzerland, approximately 2,250 measles cases have been reported since November 2006. The Swiss measles outbreak started in Lucerne, where the measles vaccination coverage level in children is 78%, and spread across the country, predominantly affecting children aged 5--15 years who were unvaccinated because of parental opposition to vaccination.** In Israel (which is included in the WHO European Region), a measles outbreak with approximately 1,000 cases is ongoing (Ministry of Health, Israel, unpublished data, 2008), and measles transmission is occurring in other European countries, predominantly among populations opposed to vaccination. This situation prompted travel advisories to be issued in the United States and Europe. Health-care providers should advise patients who travel abroad of the importance of measles vaccination and should consider the diagnosis of measles in persons with clinically compatible illness who have traveled abroad recently or have had contact with travelers. The limited size of recent measles outbreaks in the United States has resulted from highly effective measles and MMR vaccines, preexisting high vaccination coverage levels in preschool and school-aged children, and a rapid and effective public health response. All children should receive 2 doses of MMR vaccine, with the first dose recommended at age 12--15 months and the second dose at age 4--6 years. Unless they have other documented evidence of measles immunity,§§ all adults should receive at least 1 dose. Two doses are recommended for international travelers aged >12 months, health-care personnel, and students at secondary and postsecondary educational facilities. Infants aged 6--11 months should receive 1 dose before travel abroad (3). During a measles outbreak, the vaccination response should be guided by the epidemiology of the outbreak and the outbreak setting and might include offering 1 dose of measles or MMR vaccine to infants aged 6--11 months, offering the second dose to preschool-aged children provided that 28 days have elapsed since the first dose, and recommending 1 dose to health-care workers born before 1957 unless they show other evidence of immunity. Patients with measles frequently seek medical care, and emergency departments are common sites of measles transmission (4). To prevent transmission of measles in health-care settings, patients should be asked to wear a surgical mask (if tolerated) for source containment, airborne infection-control precautions (5) should be followed stringently, and patients should be placed in a negative air-pressure room as soon as possible. If a negative air-pressure room is not available, the patient should be placed in a room with the door closed. Measles cases should be investigated, patients isolated promptly, and specimens obtained for laboratory confirmation and viral genoptying. Case contacts without documented evidence of measles immunity should be vaccinated, offered immune globulin, or asked to quarantine themselves at home from the fifth day after their first exposure to the twenty-first day after their last exposure. Contacts with measles-compatible symptoms should be managed in a manner that will prevent further spread (3,5). Health-care personnel place themselves and their patients at risk if they are not protected against measles. In accordance with current recommendations, health-care personnel should have documented evidence of measles immunity¶¶ readily available at their work location (3). If this documentation is not available when measles is introduced, major costs and disruptions to health-care operations can result from the need to exclude potentially infected staff members and rapidly ensure immunity for others (6). Many of the measles cases in children in 2008 have occurred among children whose parents claimed exemption from vaccination because of religious or personal beliefs and in infants too young to be vaccinated. Forty-eight states currently allow religious exemptions to school vaccination requirements, and 21 states allow exemptions based on personal beliefs.*** During 2002 and 2003, nonmedical exemption rates were higher in states that easily granted exemptions than states with medium or difficult exemption processes (7); in such states, the process of claiming a nonmedical exemption might require less effort than fulfilling vaccination requirements (8). Although national vaccination levels are high, unvaccinated children tend to be clustered geographically or socially, increasing their risk for outbreaks (6,9). An upward trend in the mean proportion of school children who were not vaccinated because of personal belief exemptions was observed from 1991 to 2004 (7). Increases in the proportion of persons declining vaccination for themselves or their children might lead to large-scale outbreaks in the United States, such as those that have occurred in other countries (e.g., United Kingdom and Netherlands) (10). Ongoing measles virus transmission has been eliminated in the United States, but the risk for imported disease and outbreaks remains. High vaccination coverage in the United States has limited the spread of imported measles in 2008. Nevertheless, the measles outbreaks in 2008 illustrate the risk created by importation of disease into clusters of persons with low vaccination rates, both for the unvaccinated and those who come into contact with them.

This is a part of the Capsule series; data that is revealed in the markets, collated and curated to make trade-able sense.
Delivery Volume Shockers!
We have compiled a list of those stocks which have seen massive increases in the "deliverable quantity to traded quantity %".
Stocks are traded every day and most stocks see intra-day trading (buy and sell on the same day). Intra-day trades don't result in delivery – if two people buy and sell from each other and square off within the day, there will be volume, but no actual shares will change hands.
Delivery volumes as a percentage of total volume shows us how much of the stock is traded versus held for more than a day. It's not very useful to use this data to trade per se.
But what is useful is if the delivery percentage JUMPS. If a stock is thinly delivered (say 30% delivery) and jumps up to 80% delivery then we are likely to be seeing some action in that stock because either a big buyer is in or a big seller is.
Listed below, are the Top 25 for today (27th Jan, 2016):

I have two new stories out: one called "Captain", set in a restaurant in Bombay, in the new issue of the Asia Literary Review (a food special), and another called "Madhaba's Bottle of Oil", set in Bhubaneswar, in the new issue of Pratilipi (a fiction special).
Here is a paragraph from "Captain":
"Europe!" Despite my contempt for Barun, I was impressed. I have never been to Europe myself. It has always been my dream to go to London some day. I want to see up close the people who once ruled us. "How did you get so far?""I got work here, sir.""Well, good for you. What country are you in?""I don't know, sir. But it's very cold here."I checked the country code on my phone and ran a Google search on my computer."You're in Poland," I told him."Yes…that's right! I am in Poland."Barun's voice seemed so close, as if he were leaning right over me here in Prabhadevi, trying to peer into the tip box to see if he could quickly run a raid on it. I could clearly see his shifty eyes, his dark, cunning face, like a marsh always flooded by the waters of secret thoughts. If he had been merely quarrelsome or dishonest with the staff, they might still have tolerated him, because most of them were no saints themselves. But it was food that erected a wall between him and them. After he's spent all day labouring far from home and family, you can't deny a working man the needs of his stomach, of food the way he knows it and loves it. Almost to a man, the waiters despised Barun because, between him and Uttam, they made sure the staff lunch and dinner were always Bengali food, made to their own taste, cooked in mustard oil and spiced with panchporan. Phulkopi, aloo potol curry, dimer jhol, aloo chorchori, mung dal, fried eggplant, enough rice to feed seven generations of their ancestors – that was what they made every day. No matter what I or the waiters said to them, the staff food always tasted the same. When they made Chinese food it tasted like Chinese all right, but when they cooked Indian, even their rajma tasted like it was made by a housewife in Sealdah or Medinipur. What a pair.
And an old story, "Dnyaneshwar Kulkarni Changes His Name", is here.

More than three dozen protests were held across the United States and Canada on October 4th 2012, to demand an immediate recall of hazardous 'smart' utility meters. It's clear that this movement is growing and that the public is increasingly rejecting the smart grid debacle. Thank you everyone for sending in your photos and video- the best of which are posted below. Also be sure to check out the media links on the right sidebar. If you would like to add content to this page, please send an e-mail to info[at]actiondaytostopsmartmeters[dot]org Please be patient- we are being flooded with reports from around North America.
Thank you all for making October 4th a huge success!!!!
United States
Burbank/Glendale: Contact BurbankAction[at]aol[dot]com
Health, safety and privacy advocates worked their lunch hour to join the International Day of Action to Stop Smart Meters (Oct. 4, 2012) by writing and signing letters of complaint and protest against the $1.5 billion in smart meters that SoCalGas will begin installing in Southern California (Los Angeles County, including Glendale and Burbank) as soon as Oct. 29, 2012 and April 2013. Their "Elect to Protect" letters of complaint/protest requested that the CPUC, SoCalGas, and our elected local, county, state and Congressional representatives halt the SoCalGas smart meters that the CPUC has approved and that the Division of Ratepayer Advocates (DRA) and The Utility Reform Network (TURN) oppose. TURN has called these the "dumbest" smart meters yet, and we agree wholeheartedly.
Please oppose SoCalGas smart meters and sign TURN's on-line petition asking the CPUC to put SoCalGas smart meters on ice here: http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/746/p/dia/action/public/index.sjs?action_KEY=9189.
You can also read Calif. Assemblyman Mike Fuerer's letter to the CPUC in support of halting the SoCalGas smart meter program here: http://asmdc.org/members/a42/attachments/StayonSmartMeterInstallation.pdf
Encinitas: www.electrosmogprevention.org
Out of concern for the public health and safety…we demand:
1. Free opt-outs from smart meters
2. Full disclosure of risks cited by independent experts
3. Remove all banks of multiple smart meters
4. Do not turn on 2nd radio (Zigbee, for Home Area Network/HAN) as this will increase RF radiation in homes (is scheduled for this winter)
5. National ban on wireless utility meters
6. Remove all wireless from grid
7. No RF emissions for future technologies
8. Restore safe analog meters
Eureka: Contact Beverly (707) 268-0951
We had our protest in front of the Eureka PG&E Offices. It went really well–lots of honks and thumbs up. We held signs and handed out brochures to passers-by. My favorite sign was "Smart Meters Make Me Sick." Simple and says it all. I was interviewed on the KMUD local evening news about this event.
Oakland: contact: isisferal[at]yahoo[dot]com
Got a few flyers also to PG&E workers, who were quite friendly for the most part. As we were leaving I called to a couple of them that we'd love to talk with them, and will show up if they invite us to one of their union meetings.
Someone from PG&E took pictures of us from across the street. Lots of people were coming to pay their bills and stopped to talk with us. Had some really good conversations. Steve went up to the corner to get some flyers to a crowd of school children, so we also reached a few of the next generation.

SmartWarriors Marin County held a protest on a busy corner during rush hour in San Rafael, California to celebrate the International Day of Action against 'Smart' Meters. People honked, waved and gave thumbs up. We had about twelve people. Our group was energized and wants to do more actions like this. Two of our group stayed at the nearby PG&E office and spoke to people going in and out to pay bills. Most folks were really appreciative for more info and were concerned.
Santa Ana: Stop OC Smart Meters! Contact info[at]StopOCSmartMeters[dot]com
We had about a dozen folks attend our protest in front of the SCE offices in Santa Ana. Not bad for starting to organize this 4 days earlier.
The police arrived when we began at 4pm and stayed on the corner the entire time until 5:30pm. We are a dangerous and threatening bunch, we are. I really think that they were trying to protect us from the corporate bullies at Edison. Ha! Nice guys…they even took our brochures and were interested in getting more information on the Smart Meter to protect their families. We were happy to oblige. Thanks, Edison for calling them up!
As we were just down the street from a high school we were able to talk to the kids walking and biking home along with some parents, too. We handed out lots of brochures to open car windows and pedestrians that were interested. As usual, people were VERY thankful to know about the meters. It's a crime that they DON'T know.
Santa Cruz: Contact: joshuahart[at]baymoon[dot]com
We had an upbeat group of more than two dozen Santa Cruzans come out and tell PG&E what they can do with their dumb meters.

Naperville Smart Meter Awareness Take Back Your Power: People Over Profits Rally
Hallowell: Maine Smart Meter Safety Coalition Press Conference/ Protest Contact Ed at edfomb[at]comcast[dot]net
Very successful protest and press conference. About 23 smart meter activists showed up and we had two of the three major TV networks filming. We had four scheduled speakers-myself for an overview and extortion, one woman with EHS, another woman who had virtually all of her electrical appliances including well pump, blow out when she got hooked up. We also had one impromptu speaker who addressed morality-telling the truth and how most people are not aware because they have been told nothing and how this is very much extortion.
Detroit: W4AR Contact: Pauline or John Holeton at (586) 731-3314
Portland: Contact Evelyn Savarin evsavarin[at]yahoo[dot]com
We had a tabling event on Smart Meters Oct. 4 – also included other wireless material that attract interest of Portlanders, Cell Towers in particular. We held the event in front of Natural Health store in a busy Portland neighborhood. I believe by the number of sign-ups received, and the number who stopped by to engage in conversation it was definitely a successful day.
Washington DC
Center for Safer Wireless/ Maryland Smart Meter Awareness Contact: choch[at]centerforsaferwireless[dot]org
With about 2 dozen people attending, we had a wonderful protest in Washington today, including people from as far away as Michigan and Florida. The Maryland Smart Meter Awareness members were very supportive as well. The weather was warm and beautiful. Four reporters interviewed us, plus a CNN reporter. A few GridWeek attendees ventured out to engage in some lively discussions with us!
British Columbia
Kelowna: A nucleus of red-shirted, placard waving and enthusiastic opponents of BC Hydro and the Liberal government's program to install wireless smart meters in every consumer location in the province, gathered in the vacant Honda dealer parking lot in Salmon Arm in the beautiful Shuswap region of British Columbia at noon on October the 4th. This particular autumn day was chosen by the USA and Canadian National Campaign to Stop Smart Meters and Wireless Radiation Protection Coalition, in order to bring awareness of the global opposition to the looming dangers and threats to the health, privacy and security of all living things everywhere to the attention of the authorities.
Following a walk around Salmon Arm complete with flags and signs, honking horns, arm waving and thumbs-up from motorists and pedestrians alike, the now burgeoning crowd moved on to the Little City of Enderby where more concerned citizens joined in and a similar walk-around town evolved with a similar reaction from the public. If one leaned into the wind, one might have heard the unmistakable strains of "This land is our land…" being chanted by the group, now morphed into a mass choir.
Formidable and friendly, motorized and somewhat noisier, the motorcade and rally swooped into the downtown core of Vernon where more sign and flag waving, thumbs-up and waves were accompanied by more honking horns including loud air blasts from passing diesel truck dual trumpets. Many remarkable and impromptu exchanges between the protesters and city pedestrians took place and more information distributed to the innocent recipients of this insidious technology.
The day culminated with another walk-around in downtown Kelowna, with a majority of the original participants from Salmon Arm still forming the basis of the throng of demonstrators. By 7 o'clock the streets had cleared and a large public audience in the Mary Irwin Theatre of the Rotary Arts Centre participated in a dramatic power-point presentation by Jerry Flynn, retired Canadian Forces Military officer with 26 years of experience in electronic warfare, signals and the manipulation of microwave radio frequencies, as to how their adaptation and use in modern civilization in the form of cell phones, Wi-Fi, DECT phones and other wireless applications are causing adverse health reactions such as malignant tumours, leukemia, autism and other birth defects, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, dementia in the elderly, behavioural problems in the young, etc., etc., in populations world-wide. Wireless technology will, no, is becoming history's next global plague and will kill or maim more than both the Bubonic and Smallpox plagues put together. Now is the time to return to democracy and take back the power!
Victoria: Here is one of the photos showing members of the protest blocking a Hydro truck. The drivers were most cooperative. We had a good turnout of more than 25 people in this one area!

Laws Concerning Warfare
20 "When you go out to war against your enemies, and see ihorses and chariots and an army larger than your own, you shall not be afraid of them, for the Lord your God is jwith you, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt. 2 And when you draw near to the battle, kthe priest shall come forward and speak to the people 3 and shall say to them, 'Hear, O Israel, today you are drawing near for battle against your enemies: let not your heart faint. Do not fear or panic or be in dread of them, 4 for the Lord your God is he who goes with you lto fight for you against your enemies, to give you the victory.' 5 Then the officers shall speak to the people, saying, 'Is there any man who has built a new house and has not dedicated it? Let him go back to his house, lest he die in the battle and another man dedicate it. 6 And is there any man who has planted a vineyard and has not menjoyed its fruit? Let him go back to his house, lest he die in the battle and another man enjoy its fruit. 7 nAnd is there any man who has betrothed a wife and has not taken her? Let him go back to his house, lest he die in the battle and another man take her.' 8 And the officers shall speak further to the people, and say, o'Is there any man who is fearful and fainthearted? Let him go back to his house, lest he make the heart of his fellows melt like his own.' 9 And when the officers have finished speaking to the people, then commanders shall be appointed at the head of the people.
10 "When you draw near to a city to fight against it, poffer terms of peace to it. 11 And if it responds to you peaceably and it opens to you, then all the people who are found in it shall do forced labor for you and shall serve you. 12 But if it makes no peace with you, but makes war against you, then you shall besiege it. 13 And when the Lord your God gives it into your hand, qyou shall put all its males to the sword, 14 rbut the women and the little ones, the livestock, and everything else in the city, all its spoil, you sshall take as plunder for yourselves. And tyou shall enjoy the spoil of your enemies, which the Lord your God has given you. 15 Thus you shall do to all the cities that are very far from you, which are not cities of the nations here. 16 But uin the cities of these peoples that the Lord your God is giving you for an inheritance, you shall save alive nothing that breathes, 17 but vyou shall devote them to complete destruction,1 the Hittites and the Amorites, the Canaanites and the Perizzites, the Hivites and the Jebusites, as the Lord your God has commanded, 18 that wthey may not teach you to do according to all their abominable practices that they have done for their gods, and so you xsin against the Lord your God.
19 "When you besiege a city for a long time, making war against it in order to take it, yyou shall not destroy its trees by wielding an axe against them. You may eat from them, but you shall not cut them down. Are the trees in the field human, that they should be besieged by you? 20 Only the trees that you know are not trees for food you may destroy and cut down, that you may build siegeworks against the city that makes war with you, until it falls.
Atonement for Unsolved Murders
21 "If in the land that the Lord your God is giving you to possess someone is found slain, lying in the open country, and it is not known who killed him, 2 then your elders and your judges shall come out, and they shall measure the distance to the surrounding cities. 3 And the elders of the city that is nearest to the slain man shall take a heifer zthat has never been worked and that has not pulled in a yoke. 4 And the elders of that city shall bring the heifer down to a valley with running water, which is neither plowed nor sown, and shall break the heifer's neck there in the valley. 5 Then the priests, the sons of Levi, shall come forward, for the Lord your God has chosen athem to minister to him and to bless in the name of the Lord, and bby their word every dispute and every assault shall be settled. 6 And all the elders of that city nearest to the slain man cshall wash their hands over the heifer whose neck was broken in the valley, 7 and they shall testify, 'Our hands did not shed this blood, nor did our eyes see it shed. 8 Accept atonement, O Lord, for your people Israel, whom you have redeemed, and ddo not set the guilt of innocent blood in the midst of your people Israel, so that their blood guilt be atoned for.' 9 So eyou shall purge the guilt of innocent blood from your midst, when you do what is right in the sight of the Lord.
Marrying Female Captives
10 "When you go out to war against your enemies, and the Lord your God gives them into your hand and you take them captive, 11 and you see among the captives a beautiful woman, and you desire to take her to be your wife, 12 and you bring her home to your house, she shall shave her head and pare her nails. 13 And she shall take off the clothes in which she was captured and shall remain in your house and flament her father and her mother a full month. After that you may go in to her and be her husband, and she shall be your wife. 14 But if you no longer delight in her, you shall glet her go where she wants. But you shall not sell her for money, nor shall you htreat her as a slave, since you have humiliated her.
Inheritance Rights of the Firstborn
15 "If a man has two wives, ithe one loved and the other unloved, and both the loved and the unloved have borne him children, and if the firstborn son belongs to the unloved,1 16 then on the day when jhe assigns his possessions as an inheritance to his sons, he may not treat the son of the loved as the firstborn in preference to the son of the unloved, who is the firstborn, 17 but he shall acknowledge the firstborn, the son of the unloved, by giving him a double portion of all that he has, for he is kthe firstfruits of his strength. lThe right of the firstborn is his.
A Rebellious Son
18 "If a man has a stubborn and rebellious son who will not obey the voice of his father or the voice of his mother, and, though they discipline him, will not listen to them, 19 then his father and his mother shall take hold of him and bring him out to the elders of his city at the gate of the place where he lives, 20 and they shall say to the elders of his city, 'This our son is stubborn and rebellious; he will not obey our voice; he is a glutton and a drunkard.' 21 mThen all the men of the city shall stone him to death with stones. nSo you shall purge the evil from your midst, oand all Israel shall hear, and fear.
A Man Hanged on a Tree Is Cursed
22 "And if a man has committed a crime punishable by death and he is put to death, and you hang him on a tree, 23 phis body shall not remain all night on the tree, but you shall bury him the same day, for qa hanged man is cursed by God. rYou shall not defile your land that the Lord your God is giving you for an inheritance.
Various Laws
22 "You sshall not see your brother's ox or his sheep going astray and ignore them. You shall take them back to your brother. 2 And if he does not live near you and you do not know who he is, you shall bring it home to your house, and it shall stay with you until your brother seeks it. Then you shall restore it to him. 3 And you shall do the same with his donkey or with his garment, or with any lost thing of your brother's, which he loses and you find; you may not ignore it. 4 tYou shall not see your brother's donkey or his ox fallen down by the way and ignore them. You shall help him to lift them up again.
5 "A woman shall not wear a man's garment, nor shall a man put on a woman's cloak, ufor whoever does these things is an abomination to the Lord your God.
6 "If you come across a bird's nest in any tree or on the ground, with young ones or eggs and the mother sitting on the young or on the eggs, vyou shall not take the mother with the young. 7 You shall let the mother go, but the young you may take for yourself, wthat it may go well with you, and that you may live long.
8 "When you build a new house, you shall make a parapet for your roof, that you may not bring the guilt of blood upon your house, if anyone should fall from it.
9 x"You shall not sow your vineyard with two kinds of seed, lest the whole yield be forfeited,1 the crop that you have sown and the yield of the vineyard. 10 You shall not plow with an ox and a donkey together. 11 You shall not wear cloth of wool and linen mixed together.
12 y"You shall make yourself tassels on the four corners of the garment with which you cover yourself.
Laws Concerning Sexual Immorality
13 "If any man takes a wife and zgoes in to her and then hates her 14 and accuses her of misconduct and brings a bad name upon her, saying, 'I took this woman, and when I came near her, I did not find in her evidence of virginity,' 15 then the father of the young woman and her mother shall take and bring out the evidence of her virginity to the elders of the city in the gate. 16 And the father of the young woman shall say to the elders, 'I gave my daughter to this man to marry, and he hates her; 17 and behold, he has accused her of misconduct, saying, "I did not find in your daughter evidence of virginity." And yet this is the evidence of my daughter's virginity.' And they shall spread the cloak before the elders of the city. 18 Then the elders of that city shall take the man and whip2 him, 19 and they shall fine him a hundred shekels3 of silver and give them to the father of the young woman, because he has brought a bad name upon a virgin4 of Israel. And she shall be his wife. aHe may not divorce her all his days. 20 But if the thing is true, that evidence of virginity was not found in the young woman, 21 then they shall bring out the young woman to the door of her father's house, and bthe men of her city shall stone her to death with stones, because she has cdone an outrageous thing in Israel by whoring in her father's house. dSo you shall purge the evil from your midst.
22 e"If a man is found lying with the wife of another man, both of them shall die, the man who lay with the woman, and the woman. dSo you shall purge the evil from Israel.
23 "If there is a fbetrothed virgin, and a man meets her in the city and lies with her, 24 then you shall bring them both out to the gate of that city, and you shall stone them to death with stones, the young woman because she did not cry for help though she was in the city, and the man because he violated his neighbor's wife. dSo you shall purge the evil from your midst.
25 "But if in the open country a man meets a young woman who is betrothed, and the man seizes her and lies with her, then only the man who lay with her shall die. 26 But you shall do nothing to the young woman; she has committed no offense punishable by death. For this case is like that of a man attacking and murdering his neighbor, 27 because he met her in the open country, and though the betrothed young woman cried for help there was no one to rescue her.
28 g"If a man meets a virgin who is not betrothed, and seizes her and lies with her, and they are found, 29 then the man who lay with her shall give to the father of the young woman fifty shekels of silver, and she shall be his wife, because he has violated her. He may not divorce her all his days.
530 h"A man shall not take his father's wife, so that he does not iuncover his father's nakedness.6
Those Excluded from the Assembly
23 "No one whose testicles are crushed or whose male organ is cut off shall enter the assembly of the Lord.
2 j"No one born of a forbidden union may enter the assembly of the Lord. Even to the tenth generation, none of his descendants may enter the assembly of the Lord.
3 k"No Ammonite or Moabite may enter the assembly of the Lord. Even to the tenth generation, none of them may enter the assembly of the Lord forever, 4 lbecause they did not meet you with bread and with water on the way, when you came out of Egypt, and because they mhired against you Balaam the son of Beor from Pethor of nMesopotamia, to curse you. 5 But the Lord your God would not listen to Balaam; instead the Lord your God turned othe curse into a blessing for you, because the Lord your God loved you. 6 You pshall not seek their peace or their prosperity all your days forever.
7 "You shall not abhor an Edomite, for qhe is your brother. You shall not abhor an Egyptian, because ryou were a sojourner in his land. 8 Children born to them in the third generation may enter the assembly of the Lord.
Uncleanness in the Camp
9 "When you are encamped against your enemies, then you shall keep yourself from every evil thing.
10 "If any man among you becomes sunclean because of a nocturnal emission, then he shall go outside the camp. He shall not come inside the camp, 11 but when evening comes, he shall tbathe himself in water, and as the sun sets, he may come inside the camp.
12 "You shall have a place outside the camp, and you shall go out to it. 13 And you shall have a trowel with your tools, and when you sit down outside, you shall dig a hole with it and turn back and cover up your excrement. 14 Because uthe Lord your God walks in the midst of your camp, to deliver you and to give up your enemies before you, therefore your camp must be holy, so that he may not see anything indecent among you and turn away from you.
Miscellaneous Laws
15 v"You shall not give up to his master a slave1 who has escaped from his master to you. 16 He shall dwell with you, in your midst, in the place that he shall choose within one of your towns, wherever it suits him. You shall not wrong him.
17 "None of the wdaughters of Israel shall be a cult prostitute, and none xof the sons of Israel shall be a cult prostitute. 18 You shall not bring the fee of a prostitute or the wages of a dog2 into the house of the Lord your God in payment for any vow, for both of these are an abomination to the Lord your God.
19 y"You shall not charge interest on loans to your brother, zinterest on money, interest on food, interest on anything that is lent for interest. 20 aYou may charge a foreigner interest, but you may not charge your brother interest, bthat the Lord your God may bless you in all that you undertake in the land that you are entering to take possession of it.
21 c"If you make a vow to the Lord your God, you shall not delay fulfilling it, for the Lord your God will surely require it of you, and you will be guilty of sin. 22 But if you refrain from vowing, you will not be guilty of sin. 23 You shall be careful to do what has passed your lips, for you have voluntarily vowed to the Lord your God what you have promised with your mouth.
24 "If you go into your neighbor's vineyard, you may eat your fill of grapes, as many as you wish, but you shall not put any in your bag. 25 If you go into your neighbor's standing grain, dyou may pluck the ears with your hand, but you shall not put a sickle to your neighbor's standing grain.
Laws Concerning Divorce
24 "When a man takes a wife and marries her, if then she finds no favor in his eyes because he has found some indecency in her, and ehe writes her a certificate of divorce and puts it in her hand and sends her out of his house, and she departs out of his house, 2 and if she goes and becomes another man's wife, 3 and the latter man hates her and writes her a certificate of divorce and puts it in her hand and sends her out of his house, or if the latter man dies, who took her to be his wife, 4 then fher former husband, who sent her away, may not take her again to be his wife, after she has been defiled, for that is an abomination before the Lord. And you shall not bring sin upon the land that the Lord your God is giving you for an inheritance.
Miscellaneous Laws
5 g"When a man is newly married, he shall not go out with the army or be liable for any other public duty. He shall be free at home one year hto be happy with his wife1 whom he has taken.
6 "No one shall take a mill or an upper millstone in pledge, for that would be taking a life in pledge.
7 i"If a man is found stealing one of his brothers of the people of Israel, and if he jtreats him as a slave or sells him, then that thief shall die. kSo you shall purge the evil from your midst.
8 "Take care, in la case of leprous2 disease, to be very careful to do according to all that the Levitical priests shall direct you. As I commanded them, so you shall be careful to do. 9 Remember what the Lord your God did to mMiriam non the way as you came out of Egypt.
10 "When you make your neighbor a loan of any sort, you shall not go into his house to collect his pledge. 11 You shall stand outside, and the man to whom you make the loan shall bring the pledge out to you. 12 And if he is a poor man, you shall not sleep in his pledge. 13 oYou shall restore to him the pledge as the sun sets, that he may sleep in his cloak and pbless you. And qit shall be righteousness for you before the Lord your God.
14 "You shall not roppress a hired worker who is poor and needy, whether he is one of your brothers or one of the sojourners who are in your land within your towns. 15 sYou shall give him his wages on the same day, before the sun sets (for he is poor and counts on it), tlest he cry against you to the Lord, and you be guilty of sin.
16 u"Fathers shall not be put to death because of their children, nor shall children be put to death because of their fathers. Each one shall be put to death for his own sin.
17 v"You shall not pervert the justice due to the sojourner or to the fatherless, wor take a widow's garment in pledge, 18 but xyou shall remember that you were a slave in Egypt and the Lord your God redeemed you from there; therefore I command you to do this.
19 y"When you reap your harvest in your field and forget a sheaf in the field, you shall not go back to get it. It shall be for the sojourner, the fatherless, and the widow, zthat the Lord your God may bless you in all the work of your hands. 20 When you beat your olive trees, you shall not go over them again. It shall be for the sojourner, the fatherless, and the widow. 21 When you gather the grapes of your vineyard, you shall not strip it afterward. It shall be for the sojourner, the fatherless, and the widow. 22 xYou shall remember that you were a slave in the land of Egypt; therefore I command you to do this.

First topshop purchases! (soon to come)
gorgeous sunset over River Liffy
Say hello to uber-tourist Bonnie. I can't help myself... I feel the need to photograph
everything! I'm in Dublin and really loving this city. Aside from these places pictured
above, I've been to the Ireland museum of art, National Ireland history museum,
The book of Kell museum, Dublin castle, shopped Grafton street, a Ghost tour, Pubs, parks and
more that I can't remember (or might have been too jet-lagged to remember). This
little holiday in Ireland (I've figured out that people here call it holiday
not vacation hehe) has been nice so far. Tomorrow it's castles all day long.
Wearing this simple outfit with comfortable shoes today was definitely a great
choice. I walked around SO much today. My feet feel like they are going
to fall off despite these comfy flats I wore. The fashion here is so inspiring,
I'm always walking around wide-eyed. Hopefully I don't look like a wierdo.
Anyways... more updates to come soon hopefully! i'll be here in Dublin
until Monday. Then it's off to London. ^_^
wearing: target cardigan; f21 tank; aldo flats; nordstrom tights, scarf.
