Politics & Ideas
A Budget Hemmed In by Reality
The numbers show how big the gap is between Obama's aspirations and the available resources.

President Obama has released his budget for the fiscal year that begins in October, and the argument has begun. But what are we arguing about?
The president proposes to fund infrastructure investment in the context of revenue-neutral corporate-tax reform. So have Republicans from Dave Camp to Rand Paul. The president wants to expand the Earned Income Tax Credit; so does Paul Ryan. The president wants to end budget sequestration, which he regards as mindless public policy. So did most of the people who voted for it in the mistaken belief that it was so self-evidently bad that surely the parties would swiftly agree to something better.
"Politics and Ideas" advocates for maintaining and updating the international defense, economic, and legal order the US helped build after WW II––taking seriously the grievances created from globalization and trade distortions by foreign statist policies. It's published online every Tuesday evening.

Why visit Krakow
When planning a trip to Europe, the first destinations that come to mind probably include Rome, Barcelona, Paris, Amsterdam, or any other big city that people tend to visit. Krakow, the second-largest city in Poland, rarely gets mentioned.
Krakow has a bit of everything – beautiful architecture, incredible history, and amazing people and cuisine. Set on the banks of the Vistula river, Krakow looks like it fell out of a Disney movie.
It's easy to fall in love with and it offers something for anyone. Walk around through its quaint streets and relax, visit incredible sights and museums, experience Slavic nightlife, or seek one of the outdoor adventures.
Besides, it's the country's centre for arts and culture with a buzzing community that spends time in numerous bars and coffee places throughout the city.
If that was not enough to convince you to visit Krakow, let's dive in and explore what exactly the city has to offer.
The sights and old European charm
The first thing you will notice is the incredible architecture. The old city centre has been listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site with its traditional streets combining Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque churches, towers, archways, and cobbled squares.
The heart of Krakow's Old Town is the main square, Rynek Glowny. It's actually the largest city square of Medieval origin in Europe. You can spend the whole day (or even two) exploring its many shops, cafés, and fountains. Climb the steps of the 70m tall Town Hall Tower and enjoy the beautiful view of the square and people moving around.
If you're afraid of heights, don't feel bad. Simply walk into one of the cafés, grab one of the many great Polish beers, and watch people wandering by.
While you're at Rynek Glowny peek into St. Mary's Basilica, home of one of the most famous Medieval masterpieces, the gothic wooden altar by Veit Stoss. The entrance is free, but we would recommend paying for a guided tour as the cathedral is full of incredible history.
Each hour, there is a trumpet call paying homage to the trumpeter who warned the city of the incoming Mongol invasion. It cuts off halfway as the trumpeter was shot through the throat while sounding the alarm.
On the other side of the square, you will find The Krakow Cloth Hall – Sukiennice. It has a covered market underneath and a museum above. It's the best place to buy original Polish handicrafts for souvenirs.
Don't be afraid to veer off into numerous side streets and courtyards along the way. The city is a gold mine for unique and compelling places.
The history, both old and recent
Once you're done with the Old Town, make sure to head to the beautiful Wawel Castle perched just above it. Legend has it that Krakow was founded when a Slavic prince defeated a dragon which dwelled in a cave by the river Vistula. In that place, he founded the city and built the Wawel Castle.
It was home to the kings of Poland till the late 16th century and is one of the largest royal castles in Europe. It offers several museum sections you can visit as well as gardens and the cathedral where Pope John Paul II served mass before he became pope.
Make sure to climb the bell tower for a beautiful view of the town, and to touch the bell to make a wish.
Lastly, check out the famous Wawel Dragon that roars fire every 5 minutes.
Despite its long history, Krakow is most famous for the period around World War II. The city was invaded 5 days after WWII started, and Wawel Castle was the centre of the German General Government. Even during these dark times, there are many great examples of defiance and support among the people.
The most famous is the story of Oskar Schindler. You probably saw the movie masterpiece Schindler's List, based on the events from this period. He saved more than 1200 Jews from death in the gas chambers.
His old enamelware factory has now been turned into a museum. It gives a fascinating look into Krakow during the occupation while telling the story of his heroism and the people he saved.
Just outside Krakow is the infamous Auschwitz-Birkenau Museum. It is the concentration camp where more than 1.1 million people lost their lives. 90% of them were Jews. Visiting the place serves to commemorate the many victims of the Nazi regime. The museum contains an extensive collection of personal items that belonged to the victims.
Visiting these two sites will leave a lasting impression that makes you understand how the suffering was real for an immense number of people.
The food in Krakow that will have you asking for more
Since you're planning a trip to Poland, you've probably heard of pierogi (filled dumplings). Food holds great importance in Polish families, so traditional recipes are passed down from generation to generation. Each family has its own pierogi recipe that will delight you.
Did you know that bagels were first created in Krakow? They were the original Jewish pastry and they have a medieval predecessor called Obwarzanek Krakowski which is still sold all over the city.
For a truly authentic experience, try eating out at a bar mleczny, a milk bar. Milk bars were originally cheap places subsidized by the government that now offer traditional Polish food at incredibly low prices.
If you're visiting during colder periods, make sure to try borscht, a nourishing beetroot soup recognizable by its purple colour. If that is not enough to warm you up, Polish vodka will definitely do the trick.
Visiting Stary Kleparz market is a highlight for all foodies. A short walking distance away from the Main Square, the market is the best way to blend in with the locals and do your grocery shopping.
Krakow nightlife
It wouldn't be fair to talk about Krakow without mention of its raucous nightlife. An over-the-top pub crawl, vodka tastings, microbreweries, underground beer halls, and plenty of disco places are all located at a convenient walking distance.
Start your evening with an original cold brew, and watch your barriers dissolve as you try one of the many Polish vodkas. We're sure you'll leave the city with a new favourite vodka flavour.
The most important part of town for all-night drinking is the historic Jewish Quarter, Kazimierz. Pop-up restaurants, artisan beer houses, and plenty of people having fun. The whole neighbourhood has a distinct style you will absolutely fall in love with, and the atmosphere is just incredible. Hop into any place you like as you're sure to have a fun time.
Great value for money
After everything we mentioned, this comes to mind as one of the most important things on the list. Krakow offers excellent value for money. It's not an ultra-cheap destination, but considering everything it offers, it's more than worth it.
Local tours and entrances are considerably cheaper than in other similar European cities, you can find a great meal for less than 10€, and accommodation is diverse and plentiful.
In the last few years, more and more low-cost airlines have added flights to Krakow and nearby cities. Besides that, there is a high-speed train from Warsaw that will get you here in no time.
So, what are you waiting for?
Krakow is still relatively undiscovered, but it won't stay that way for long. More and more people are creating unforgettable memories in this historical city every day. Its combination of traditional and modern cuisine, trendy bars, and a vibrant nightlife have all put Krakow on the map. And when you are in Krakow, don't miss out on our museum. Visit us and have a fantastic time discovering all of the illusions we have here.

"The strange thing is that one woman who was a mad Korean drama fanatic has totally gone off her Korean mania over this. Because "The Koreans hate us". "
Haha! It's about time they woke up and smelled the kimchee. I've been saying for he past 10 years how stupid the Japanese K-drama fans (and now he K-pop fans) are because they love Koreans while the Koreans HATE them. Well thanks to Lee Myun Bak for at least setting things straight.

I know some Koreans and Chinese, these people are great people, they don't hate us as a matter of fact they love to come to Japan and spend money in Japan helping our economy, Its only a small group of politicians that fighting for their own incentives that is driving this divide between our countries.
yasukuni
Japan and Korea spending millions on full page newspapers ads around the world?
Won't that make riveting reading for everyone. I can just imagine my folks and their neighbors reading and getting in a tizz about all this. They'll probably organize a rally. Maybe a relay swim for OZ to Takeshima to lend their support.
Funny, I posed the following question to a couple of Japanese ladies yesterday. If Japan simply said to Korea, "Okay, it's yours", and forgot about it, what would change in your lives?
I don't think anyone has even thought about it. The strange thing is that one woman who was a mad Korean drama fanatic has totally gone off her Korean mania over this. Because "The Koreans hate us".
I feel like I'm living in a kindergarten these days.
marcelito
Paying for ads in 70 newspapers - why wasting money preaching to an already converted Japanese audience? If the govt continues wasting money like this they should also stop crying poor and increasing taxes then. Btw, funny how the situation regarding Dokdo,s possession is the opposite of Senkakus but Japan sees no irony in claiming both.
papasmurfinjapan
The strange thing is that one woman who was a mad Korean drama fanatic has totally gone off her Korean mania over this. Because "The Koreans hate us".
So something positive is coming out of this after all.
I hate my tax dollars being wasted on this kind of garbage.
Two strong leaders from both countries need to sit down and work out arrangements for co-ownership.
This issue has been nothing but non-stop reactionary politics. Some pro-active leadership would be refreshing.
Probie
Nice to see that the government are spending money on the right things.........
AFP, please don't use the word "WAR" so haphazardly, very unprofessional.
BlackcatBCB
Instead of crying for a little piece of rock in a pound of water, I think Japan should first resolve the problems with Fukushima and all the people which lost their homes, towns in the tsunami. Common now...
Instead of fighting a name calling battle that will accomplish nothing, why don't the parties involved get together and sign a real agreement. Seriously are a couple of rocks worth all the garbage from either side? That money being spent on propaganda could be spent better elsewhere maybe like getting housing for those hundred some odd thousands still in temporary housing from the Tsunami.
Farmboy
So if someone wants a part-time job writing propaganda, where do they apply? Or should they start a small business, like "Propaganda R Us" first, and then send salespeople to the respective governments? Think of all the strange adjectives and nouns you could use, unavailable in other types of writing: glorious, thrice-cursed, etc.
paulinusa
The majority of people overseas have no idea and couldn't care less.
This island thing is so stupid. Why not just open the islands up between both countries and treat it like a free trade zone....sort of like a Tourist Spot where items can be purchased from both countires without respective taxes, and no passports would be necessary for patron from both counties. As for the territorial issue? Who cares. If its fishing, then the early bird gets the worm.
Scrote
Y2 billion wasted yesterday to purchase islands they will never use and Y560 million wasted today on propaganda. These are the kinds of things the increased consumption tax will be wasted on.
What's stupid is young Korean people who weren't even born till the 80s and 90s "hating" Japan because they're taught to do so.
Gotta agree with Ossan here. Compared to Japan, the Koreans are cry-babies, always throwing hissy fits about something or other. Japanese politicians are little better, but at least the majority of the Japanese public are adult enough to not get worked up about this.

It states here that Korean Communications Standards Commission decided to sanction against blogs or contents that praise Japan while denouncing Korea.
On a related note, Korean officials have arrested a 13 year old for setting up pro Japan blog site depicting photograph of burnt Korean flag. He stated that the so-called independence movement had very little to do with Korea's independence was primary due to Allieds pressure on Japan to surrender the peninsula.
This is what happens when the entire nation is fed with such government sponsored BS that feeds anti-Japan education.
South Korea obviously has no confindence in winning before the ICJ. They stooped to illegal occupation and shameslessly keep evading settling the issue before a neutral forum. Japan most certainly should let the world know what cowards Koreans are. As for South Korea, they will spend a fortune on the same thing that they've been doing, simply arguing that it's theirs. Oh and they'll be harping on the "comfort women" and having been a colony for a whole whopping 35 years. The US was a British Colony for 169 years. India about 190 years. And finally for those intellectually challenged who keep attepting to equate South Korewas position opn Takeshima/ Liancourt Rocks and Japan's position on the Senkakus, Japan can not take itself to the ICJ. Countries that have a claim must do that.
T-Mack
"Lower the temperature"? With all this global warming? those island's will be under water by a decade or so anyway's...
mrkobayashi
Will some of the money go towards cracking down on bloggers? It was announced on tv that they arrested a 13 year old korean boy for posting that dokdo belonged to Japan on his blog.
gaijinfo
Gaijin, you mean those islands with China? Or the ones with Russia? Or perhaps the economy?? ;)
-Fukushima
-Debt
-Corrupt Politicians
-Birth Rates
-TPP
-Trade Balance
But yea, let's focus on these islands. That's more important. Interestingly, it's been pointed out that often times, when societies are in obvious decline (obvious to third parties, that is) they almost ALWAYS focus all their energy on trivial matters.
valley-of-the-shadows
The only solution is common heritage, otherwise it's just more conflict, more propaganda, more hate, more divide, and in the end war.
Amidalism
Until recent times I had enjoyed how little the Japanese government and people talked about/fought over the Liancourt Rocks, in comparison to their Korean counterparts which feel the need to remind themselves and the world of their possession at every available chance. Guess that is a thing of the past.
Why are we not hearing more about the tsunami victims protesting against the government for all this meaningless money wasting? Why are people not up in arms in the streets over the raising of consumption tax when so much money is being blown away? When will the people of this nation wake up?
Spending money on propaganda both at home and abroad is completely pointless. I'm sure 99% of the population of Japan and Korea already believe it is theirs, and people outside the two countries can easily see the banality of the issue, therefore resulting in no action. Whoever is coming up with these budget proposals and the one who is approving them needs to be fired immediately.
Bluebris
In this day and age when Japan seems to be on its last legs, it's reassuring to see that the government is happy to throw hard earned taxes down the toilet.
ReformedBasher
@Ossan
I vouch that a lot of mainsteam Japanese are over their love affair with Korea, and China too for that matter. I support a firm stance by Japan but hope for a diplomatic solution for all territorial disputes.
Yes, it's quite obvious that some countries are more loony than others (at least that's how they are portrayed in their own media), but I'm hoping cool heads will prevail.
The spokesman refused to give a breakdown, but Yonhap news agency quoted an unidentified ministry official as saying the money would primarily be used for a worldwide publicity drive
I can understand Japan's position on spending money for world wide publicity for since Korea rejected Japan's request for ICJ, their aim is pressure them to oblige to Japan's request through external pressures but what's the reasoning behind Korea? If they think they have a case, they should spend that money towards the legally challenging Japan's claims. The conclusion is simple. Korea has no case for they are clearly occupied the territory illegally during the 50's.
SamuraiBlue
And they proudly call themselves a democratic state.
How is that?
nigelboy: Once more. SK doesn't need to acknowledge Japan's wish for an ICJ ruling because they consider it Korean territory, the same way Gemba and many other Japanese have stated, matter of fact, "There is no issue with the Senkakus because they are Japanese territory". Korea doesn't have to dispute their own ownership, unlike Japan having to buy 'their' own islands in other cases. It's quite funny to watch you squirm on said issues.
Never did. You simply fail to understand the fundamental difference in that there is NO DISPUTE from Japan's side since China has never suggested to ICJ. If by remote chance that China does this and Japan refuses then you can scream all you want about the hypocricy. Until then, your absurd comparisons are MOOT.
Betraythetrust!
Looks like Nigelboy is going back to his racist rants.
"pathetic population". That is inferring a whole population is pathetic , almost on a par with his noodle eating posts.
Nationalism is a huge problem in Asia. It's absolutely true that both in China and South-Korea there's an anti-Japanese education. Of course, Japanese historical revisionism is bad and it's right to blame it, but I almost never see people blaming anti-Japanese education in those countries. And if you think this is good: http://aog.2y.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=1550&st=0 well you are only biased.
Also, In South-Korea you can see this kind of cartoon at cinema: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BFG1pGKUSMQ How "cute"...
Definitely bad business. Japan should relinquish their claim for Korea's sake, since they're never getting the (illegally occupied, from the standpoint of the legal framework of the post WWII era) islands back. The Koreans just say "we never signed the Treaty of San Francisco and don't recognize the Rusk Documents" (which proves that the US thought of the islands of Japan's territory). Just write them off though, as being "hit back" by SK after the bad things they did during WWII. Now if we all get are damn wives to stop watching Hanryu doramas 24 hours a day...
China is a more difficult situation. Japan's claims is pretty good from 1895 and it was legally administered from that point, but the issue of "are islands part of Taiwan and thus had to revert to them" is hard to define, and the 1895 treaty was specifically voided by San Francisco. OTOH, the islands were taken by the U.S. and returned legally to Japan in 1972, again as part of the legal and treaty framework of WWII. In the eyes of America and all the Allies, they were legally Japan's, which was confirmed by the most powerful nation in the world. And Japan has "possession" (as SK does of Dokdo), hence unless there's an invasion by the Chinese military things should continue as they are.
ANY country should reconsider whether it wants to tie its future to a brawling nation of nationalists like China however. I hope we see a lot of investment in the reasonable countries around Asia, e.g. Philippines, Thailand, India. I will never set foot on China as a result of their brash ways (though I'll go to Taiwan and spend lots of tourist dollars).
My understanding is that the Japanese govermrnt wants to the matter to International court but the Korean government has refused. I am hoping the matter can be resolved peacefully and both countries can focus on being good neighbors.
CrazyJoe
Take the case to the ICJ first.
smithinjapan
"The Japanese ministry said it was asking the central government to set aside 560 million yen to promote its side of the argument over the islands, along with other territorial disputes."
And yet they may run out of money by the end of October (or so they threaten), and have yet to STILL help many people who remain in shelters in Fukushima.
"What's stupid is young Korean people who weren't even born till the 80s and 90s "hating" Japan because they're taught to do so."
It's not wrong for Koreans to learn about their own history. And it would help a lot if Japanese took just a little time to learn Korean history of the 20th century, and their role in it.
No demonizing, just a simple understanding of how countries see each other.
The media is to blame for continually saying that "Koreans are TAUGHT to hate Japanese".
Japanese have so little knowledge of 20th century history. Instead of just simply learning about it they can always just hide behind "Chinese and Koreans are taught to hate japanese".
Just a little knowledge of history of other countries (esp your neighbors) would go a long way.
tomoki
It's a good idea. Believe or not most of the Japanese are not well informed about the island issues over Senkaku or Takeshima. It is best to educate the Japanese first so that they/we can understand the policies proposed by the government. Koreans and Chinese have so much government propaganda instilled in them, it would take 100years before they can see the issues more objectively.
alliswellinjapan
Currently the only people happy are the right wing extremists at both ends and the global PR agencies. Clear root cause being President Lee only, agree everyone should simply cool down. At least the President himself seems to have now realized the impact of the commotion he has created (in Japan in particular which I don't think is something he originally anticipated) and seems to be trying what he can to contain the situation at his end. Also good to hear that many of the Korean politicians too are not wishing for the matter to escalate any further. Once done with the elections and with new leadership in place at both ends, pretty sure things will gradually return to normal, and the unsigned agreement by both ends to simply "not touch" the issue will be maintained. Do believe something needs to be done with the continued tendency for the Korean presidency to dramatically revise their stance towards Japan as their term nears the end however.
codomo
for japan, these rocks have no meaning except for japanese fishermen. but for south korea, these are symbol of korean histories that the rocks are only one experience which korea had invaded and robbed a territory from japan. japan had allowed south korea using them for domestic conservatives to please them as if stronger than japan which makes south korean ease from unstable life and also its good for japan and US that the south korea performs as a wall from communism. however, Lee's surprised visit to the rocks was not able to be allowed that could make china and russia assume that japan would do nothing even if any dispute areas are invaded.
its better that japan gives those rocks to south korea and US announces to defend japan from any other countries.
Ranger_Miffy2
Those "rocks" establish fishing and mineral rights that are no small amounts. Mutual ownership and trade would be a good way to go instead of this endless bickering. Would set a good precedent, too.
It seems like Japan, S Korea, China, Taiwan and Philippines have become the first victims of the so called US return.
They're not. Their country is not even allowed to have an opposing view for god sakes. It's what happens when you whitewash and distort history to a point where the government's fearful of this exposure including this Takeshima dispute where they omit the government took the islands by force illegally. Hence, their only option is to spend money on this ridiculous counter argument publicity campaign while continuing to cloud the issue by amplifying their anti-Japan rhetoric.
http://news.nate.com/view/20120826n02360
Over 70% of the elementary school teachers in Korea doesn't know the background of the current Korea's administration of the islands. Classic example of a by product of their degenerate one government issued textbook whitehwashing/distorted history policy. Pathetic population.
Kobuta Chan
Guru29, It's better than bully by Communist Chinese Government. Communist Chinese Government is crazy enough to claim all beaches in South East Asia as its territory. I though Communist leader's advisers are crazy peoples when I look at map which marks on Communist Chinese Government claims territory. I think you must be one of staff from Communist Chinese Embassy in Japan or somewhere else in the world.
aisai
And finally for those intellectually challenged who keep attepting to equate South Korewas position opn Takeshima/ Liancourt Rocks and Japan's position on the Senkakus, Japan can not take itself to the ICJ. Countries that have a claim must do that.
Which is why I posted yesterday at 2:35 pm:
"Japan has a territorial dispute with South Korea over Takeshima/Dokdo. The Japanese propose letting an international court decide. The South Koreans say no way. The Japanese criticze the South Koreans for their stance.
The Taiwanese and Chinese should make the same proposal to the Japanese regarding Senkaku/Daioyu. The Phillipines could join in as well. They should suggest to Japan that the dispute should be resolved by an international court. Of course, that would cause Gov. Ishihara, etc. to have a kanipshin bubbula and the Japanese would say no way making them no better than the South Koreans. "
Let's see what will happen IF and when that happens and I emphsises the IF part since Taiwan had more than 70 years and PRC 60 to file a suit to ICJ which had not happened to this moment. Kind of over due don't you think?
IF Taiwan et al did finally after all these years request that this dispute be resolved, how do you think the Japanese Government and people would respond? Would they say "sure, let's do it"? Or, would use the same line of reasoning that South Korea is using regarding Takeshima/Dokdo? That's the big IF I am wondering about.
It's not about filing suit. It's about both governments stating their dispute to U.S., U.N., or any neutral state (Switzerland) for those periods. Their silence basically proves that Japan incorporated them under terra nullius.
Can't South Korea use the same argument? We claimed these islands, they were unoccupied, we occupied them so now they are ours under terra nullius? If the Japanese wanted them then they should've occupied them.
And if you want to laugh at South Korea, here is how they brand themselves around the world (as a Japanese company):
http://peterpayne.com/post/31852676851/branding-korean-companies-as-japanese-in-the-eyes
Shelving the issue is the best solution for territorial issues. Despite the disgraceful incidents such as footing on Japan's flag etc., it is rather fortunate that it does not develope into bombings as it happens often in other areas of the world.

You will be supprise - Russia&China had such dispute about common border a strong one
But as you say 2 strong liders Hu Jintao and Vladimir Putin have sign an agreement and Russia cede to China 337 square kilometers of disputed territory The dispute ended. Russia and China remained friends. The key point - this question was discussed behind closed doors. And nobody burned Russian or Chineese flags... no hate ...no insults
Russia&China - two "non democratic lands "
S Korea & Japan - two so-called " democracy" TM

sfjp330
The Korea-Japan island disputes aren't all that unusual. In fact, the latest dispute is merely pattern of increases in disagreements over interpretations of history. There are important issues at stake, the interpretations of modern history that affect perceptions of national identity, pride, justice, and trustworthiness. For many in Korea, Japanese claims to the islands are seen as lack of reflection about the Japan's colonial past. It's true that right now, neo-nationalist organizations in Japan seem to have gained momentum with these groups often spewing towards South Korea and Korean residents in Japan. However, the two countries remain mutually key sources of trade and sources of investment. Travelers from Japan top the list of tourists entering South Korea, while South Korean tourists are one of the largest visitors to Japan. There are countless other bilateral cultural, educational, economic, political, and even military exchanges. Both countries can't move, and they needs to work out the differences.
Wakarimasen
Taiwan, Korea and China are all in the wrong on all these island issues. Time for Japan to get aggressive over these issues. and take back the Kuriles while we are at it.
alliswellinjapan: "Clear root cause being President Lee only"
Ummm... no. Why did Lee do it? Because he was making a statement with regards to Japan's white-washed text-books and stance on sexual slavery. Ergo, cause and effect. It just happened to be one of the higher profile examples of political rhetoric. It takes two to tango, and two or more for an island dispute -- this is not one-sided, and no one person or event caused the current tensions. Or, what, per se, do you think has caused the increased tensions with the Senkaku/Daiyo dispute?
SamuraiBlue: "And they proudly call themselves a democratic state."
Yeah, unlike Japan, where the losers of one party are the dropouts of another party, and the people are helpless to find something better. And those morons in question steal money from people who suffer to make illegal island visitations and beg for the Olympics because they are victims. You want to define pathetic, start from home and work upwards. But hey.... it won't tell you all this in the white-washed texts to read, so you are you to exercise free will and check out the facts?
tmarie
Indeed Gaijin, indeed.
Ossan: "Haha! It's about time they woke up and smelled the kimchee. I've been saying for he past 10 years how stupid the Japanese K-drama fans (and now he K-pop fans) are because they love Koreans while the Koreans HATE them."
What's 'stupid' would be to automatically hate something you might otherwise like simply because some people from the nation those products come from dislike you and your nation. Perhaps the 'stupid Japanese K-drama fans' just like the dramas and don't care about the politics between the nations.
Food for thought. Tough one for you to see, I know, with your irrational and seething hatred of all things Korean, but there you go.
papasmurfinjapan: "Japanese politicians are little better, but at least the majority of the Japanese public are adult enough to not get worked up about this."
They SHOULD be worked up about it -- but not in the sense you mean, of course. They should be worked up that the government is wasting so much time and money and promising yet more of both when there are SO many domestic problems that need focus on and money put towards, namely reconstruction in the wake of last year's disasters.

A contract is a legally enforceable agreement between two parties. Each party to a contract makes a promise to either perform a certain duty or pay a certain amount. If one party fails to act as promised, and the other party has fulfilled the duties under the contract, the other party is entitled to legal relief.
Generally, both written and oral (spoken) contracts are legally enforceable. It is always best to write down the terms of the contract in case there is some dispute between the parties after the contract is formed. If the contract is oral, the parties to the contract may later remember different details about the contract terms, or forget certain terms entirely.
When one party has breached the contract, the party who has performed is entitled to various remedies for the breach.
Specific performance - A court can require the breaching party to perform their duties under the contract. This is afforded for unique circumstances.
Rescission - A court can pretend like the contract never existed. Here, neither party would be required to perform the obligations under the contract. If there has been performance by one party, the court does its best to put that party in the same position he or she was in before the contract was formed.
Every state has a certain time limit, called a statute of limitations, in which a lawsuit must be filed after a breach of contract. If a party wants a remedy for a breach, and they do not file within this time limit, that party cannot file a lawsuit. The amount of time for filing a breach of contract lawsuit is typically two years within Chinese jurisdiction. however, different types of contracts vary in this part. You should consult our China contract or agreement lawyer regarding this issue.
Why Should I Consult with Breach of Contract Lawyers?
Contract law can be quite complicated. Additionally, every state has different lawsuit filing procedures and deadlines for breach of contract claims. Speaking with breach of contract lawyers about your issue can help you maky a clearer decision. An attorney can help a party conform to the applicable procedural rules and collect all the proper documents to prove a breach. Further, an attorney can help you negotiate the terms of a contract before you make or accept an offer.
Our contract lawyers find that most contract disputes or dilemmas are handled at the "big picture" stage. Therefore, we prefer to take a proactive approach designed to prevent breach of contract disputes and avoid costly litigation.
We pursue practical legal solutions with a focus on value. A pragmatic approach is effective for most of our business, commercial, and real estate clients. We approach business legal matters in a direct, results-oriented fashion.
A critical component of running a successful business involves taking proactive measures to avoid costly litigation. Careful formation of solid contracts can be paramount to avoiding future disputes. While the formation of partnership agreements and other business startup contracts is an important aspect of business entity formation, the formation of legally sound employment contracts for key employees is equally important. We can assist you in drafting, reviewing, and negotiating effective employment contracts and other business contracts.
In the event of a contract dispute, lawyers at the China Commercial Law Firm make every effort to avoid litigation by settling breach of contract conflicts through voluntary negotiations, mediation, or arbitration. We do not delay filing suit, should we deem litigation to be the best course of action to achieve our clients' objectives.
For a free initial consultation with a China Commercial Law Firm business contract attorney regarding employment agreements, distribution agreements, or other contract concerns, contact a China contract attorney at our Shenzhen-based law firm.


With the movie trilogy slowly coming to an end and the so called third season (Lelouch of the Resurrection) of the series approaching, I think it's time we determined where this entry falls. First let's look at the movie trilogy; created to "recap" the series and provide some much needed background to a new generation who might not be familiar with the original series, the movies offer a shorter version of the same content but with added scenes and re-recorded lines of dialogue. With that said, the movies are not as straightforward as you'd expect and this muddies where the new series stands.
In the first movie (Awakening Path), there were several significant changes from the source material. For one, the school aspect of the series was significantly shortened and simplified; which is understandable considering the time constraints of a movie compared to a TV series. Other content was added as well, such as flashback scenes of Lelouch, Suzaku and Nunnally when they were young and living together. However, some other changes were not so superfluous: The entire Mao Arc is cut from the movies. While this might not seem significant, you have to realize it wasn't just omitted for time constraints, they actually removed it from the story. This means that in this new rendition, Lelouch never erases Shirley's memories, which in itself carries some significant ramifications for the events of R2. Furthermore, the events surrounding Villetta being shot are altered and it is now Diethard, not Shirley, that shoots her. Again, they are significantly altering the events of the original series, not just revisiting them.
Moving on to the second movie (Rebellion Path), we have even more significant changes to contend with. First off it is the Mordred, not Gawain, that shows up at Shikine Island. And then of course the entire Chinese Federation Arc is removed from the first season's part of the storyline; as a matter of fact, they also removed the Chinese Federation Arc of the second season as well (Removing the Chinese aspect completely from the series). Further diverging, Nina doesn't attempt to blow up the school, which might alter another significant plot point later on. The Million Zeroes segment is also cut (Altering fundamental themes of the series). Getting back to Shirley, who if you remember saw significant changes early on; she actually remains alive and is not killed by Rolo (This changes Lelouch's motivation in several subsequent key scenes).
Commenting on the alterations, Taniguchi said that in spite of the changes, the general direction of the movies remains the same. However, all of these changes are significant because it means that at this point, they can't even have a flashback in the new series without it either contradicting the original series or the movies.
Since the new series is likely based on the movies and not the series, it is my thesis that the upcoming third season is set in an alternate continuity and will not impact the TV series at all. In previous interviews, Taniguchi had said he wanted to have Lelouch die at the end of the series since he first conceived of the project and considering how thematically instrumental it is, it seems unlikely he would undo it so readily. My guess is, since the executives at Sunrise likely wanted Lelouch to return due to his popularity, Taniguchi decided to recreate the events and take the series in a new direction so as to preserve the original work by separating it from the new season. Whatever the reason, the facts remains that the events of the series and movies are fundamentally different from one another and as such, the new series, if based on the movies, cannot exist in the same universe as the original Code Geass series.

The system has been designed to enable the picking surface to be changed very quickly.
Flexible Feeding – Greater Speed
| Asyril SA
06/30/16, 07:31 AM | Industrial Robotics | Asyril SA | Pick and place
The combination of Asyril's 3-axis vibration "Asycube" flexible feeder and structured plates (grooves, holes, etc.) offers a significant increase in the speed and precision for flexible feeding as well as pick & place applications. Traditionally, feeding components into automation machines is very often carried out by bowl feeders, for which the changeover from one batch to another is generally long and tedious. Recently, thanks to advances in the field of computer vision, flexible feeding systems have appeared on the market. The principle is simple: components are delivered and distributed over a surface in the field of vision of a camera. The camera takes a picture, locates the components and gives this information to a manipulator, which picks them up.
Asyril has successfully introduced the Asycube family of flexible feeding systems for parts and components from <0.1 up to 50mm (<0.01 up to 2 inches) to the market. The patented technology uses vibrations in 3 dimensions (X, Y & Z axis), which allow optimal distribution of the components on the picking surface as well as targeted part orientation.
FASTER WITH STRUCTURED SURFACES
The system has been designed to enable the picking surface to be changed very quickly. This feature enables the surface, if necessary, to be structured differently for each component to be picked up.
By making holes or grooves on the surface and inducing an intelligently chosen vibration sequence, for example, the components can be pre- oriented. Long objects can, for example, be introduced vertically into holes, resulting in a high level of availability of components that are ready to be picked up by the robot, and allowing more time for the assembly operation.
This characteristic is essentially due to the smoothness and gentleness of the vibrations that can be induced by the Asycube. Traditional flexible feeding systems do not offer this feature.
A large number of different components can be fed from the same system
No part jamming caused by components getting stuck in the mechanical selectors of a bowl feeder
Very fast part changeover by simple software recipe loading
A large number of components is available for pick in the right orientation thanks to a structured plate
About Asyril
Asyril offers high performance flexible feeding systems for parts and components from <0.1 up to 50mm (<0.01 up to 2 inches) in size. Our innovative technology operates geometry-independent, allows for extremely gentle part feeding and has proven to be highly cost-effective, satisfying countless internationally renowned customers for many years.

I don't think we ever see this angle in the film or in any other photos that I can recall. One photo very similar to this one is seen a lot but it is always cropped where we would not see all of these people.

Q: MySQL query sorting I'm trying to order results of a MySQL query based on a users set data in a field under their row.
I have a table called "assigned", set up like this:
id  user_id  item_id
--  -------  -------
1   1        1
2   1        23
3   1        304

I want to be able to order these results based on the users table which will be stored like this:
3,1,2

Any ideas?

A: you can use the FIELD option:
SELECT * FROM assigned ORDER BY FIELD(id,3,1,2)

where id is the field of the table for which you want to order and the followings are the ids ordered.

A: You should use the keyword ORDER BY to get the results ordered the way you want :
SELECT column_name(s)
FROM table_name
ORDER BY column_name(s) ASC|DESC

in your case, you would
ORDER BY user_id

If it doesn't answer your question, please tell us more precisely what you want.
Max

A: You should never assume that rows in a table within a relational database have any implicit ordering. i.e. while today 'SELECT * FROM users' might return the data in the order you want, it may be different tomorrow.
The same applies in principle to columns although MySQL is unusual compared with other relational databases in that it does allow you to explicitly state a column order.
Add a column to the users table indicating the ordinal value and sort on that with a join to your assigned table.

Embark on a magical and interactive journey and discover the secrets of a writer beloved by children of all ages. Learn about Roald Dahl's extraordinary life and the surprising inspiration for his most famous characters and stories.
The tour features unique items from the Roald Dahl Museum and Story Centre archives. Plus there are interactive installations to spark the imagination – and even test your own powers of creativity. Squirm your way through curious spaces as you step inside this Wondercrump World.
Following a three-week run at the Edinburgh Festival Friend, multi-award-winning theatre company Gagglebabble will return to Wales with their unique gig-theatre take on Roald Dahl's short stories for adults.
Combining a sizzling hot score of original live music, macabre characters, and thrilling twists and turns, all injected with a wicked sense of dark humour, Wonderman tells the story of a WWII RAF pilot who finds himself in a hospital bed, badly injured. As he slips in and out of a world of dream, hallucinations and nightmare, we're taken down the strange and unexpected corridors and rabbit holes of Roald Dahl's mind.
This epic weekend will involve a cast of thousands of performers from across the city and jaw-dropping spectacles. Immerse yourself in everything from large-scale events to intimate performances – all staged across Cardiff's streets and public spaces, in shops and arcades, at iconic buildings and parks.

Digital Rust: Why a Legal Framework for Declining Infrastructure Cybersecurity is More Important Than Ever
By Joseph Squillaro
Joseph M. Squillaro is a member of the Class of 2022 at the University of Pennsylvania studying Philosophy, Politics and Economics (PPE) with a concentration in cyber policy and Internet law, and is both a writer and an editor for the Penn Undergraduate Law Journal.
While most of the United States was preparing to watch the Tampa Bay Buccaneers take on the Kansas City Chiefs at Super Bowl LV in Tampa, Florida, a much more sinister scene was unfolding a few miles away in the small bedroom community town of Oldsmar, FL on February 5th, 2021. At the municipal Bruce T. Haddock Water Treatment Plant, responsible for providing the town with fresh drinking water, a skeleton crew was assigned that Friday night, a shift that is typically as uneventful as the taste of water itself. Little did these employees know, however, that the plant was under attack, not by a physical intruder, but a digital one that was able to gain control of the plant's controls via the internet. Covertly, malicious hackers were able to gain access to the plant's Windows 7 computer systems via a tool called TeamViewer, which is typically used to give remote access to employees, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic [1]. Typically, this type of attack would be stopped via modern antivirus software, but the operator was using significantly older operating systems which were never updated for necessary security patches. Furthermore, there was no adequate training to plant personnel about how software programs like TeamViewer could pose a risk. From there, because the computers and the plant control system were not air gapped (a modern protocol where two systems are not digitally connected to prevent unauthorized access), the hackers were able to access the Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system and raise the lye concentration (the active component in drain cleaner which is used in small quantities to remove metals in wastewater) from 100 parts per million to 11,100 parts per million. If successful, the trusted tap water of Oldsmar would have become incredibly deadly. Luckily, an astute worker noticed the toxic change, took the system offline and reverted the lye concentration. While this situation had a positive outcome for Oldsmar, the situation could have become significantly worse and despite an FBI investigation, no credible leads were found to hold the attempted-murderers accountable [2]. This incident brings to light the scary reality that our infrastructure systems, which are becoming increasingly reliant on internet-connected computing, are vulnerable to cyberattack and there is little to no effective regulatory policy for the operators of infrastructure who are negligent in maintaining their cyber defenses.
In the global cyber world of technology policy exists a global legislature

In the past few years when visiting various websites, how many times have you encountered a salient prompt asking for you to accept "cookie" permissions or select which types of data the website is able to retain? I know I personally have seen more than I can count. Yet prior to 2018, you likely would not have seen any such prompt and that was because it simply was not required, at least not in the European Union. That all changed, however, when on May 25th 2018, the European Parliament implemented a sweeping set of cyber reforms collectively known as the European Union General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). The GDPR revolutionized the ways in which tech companies can collect and store your data. From that day forward, companies were required to ask your permission to save information to their servers in the form of the aforementioned cookies. This included details such as your navigation history for personalizing results or your IP address to provide location specific content, among many other examples [1]. This policy, on balance, is a great boon for the liberty for all users of technology: to have control on who stores your data and what kind of information they collect. But a large number of users of technology, including myself, do not reside in the European Union, nor are a citizen of any EU country, yet the prompt and intention of the GDPR still applies. Why is this?

Bluebird Care Kerry/West Cork Takes Flight
February 9, 2015 /0 Comments/in Blog, Charity, CSR, News /by bluebirdcareadmin
The team at Bluebird Care in Kerry will take flight in a charity skydive on Saturday the 13th of June in aid of Ian's Trust and the Alzheimer's Society of Ireland.
Office Administrator, Carly O'Donovan, Office Manager, Trish Kavanagh and Care Supervisor, Brandy Frizuki will be taking on the charity challenge.
Carly O'Donovan says, "Doing a charity skydive has been on my bucket list for some time. We are all too often reminded of how short our time is and I figured if I don't start crossing things off my list in the hope of having great, unforgettable, fun moments, I would end up regretting the things I was never brave enough to try."
The challenge has been extended to all Bluebird Care Offices across Ireland. Money raised will go to two charities. Firstly Ian's Trust a wonderful charity who support families with children who have suffered an Acquired Brain Injury. The second is The Alzheimer's Society of Ireland, a national charity who work across the country providing dementia specific services and supports and advocating for the rights and needs of all people living with dementia.

On Saturday 16th August the 2nd annual Moon & Back Charity Walk/Run/Cycle takes place in Co. Clare. Over 500 people will go to the moon and back for Ian's Trust. Ian's Trust is a national charity supporting children with Acquired Brain Injury. Register for the challenge or Donate at www.ianstrust.com. Proudly supported by Bluebird Care.
Oorla Cusack, mother of Ian Cusack, has this to say about Bluebird Care who cared for Ian after his accident:
"Ian Cusack was a beautiful blue-eyed 5 year old boy who had his whole to live when he was knocked by a car in September 2008 and sustained a severe brain injury. Ian's journey began here and lasted for four long years. He required 24-hour care for the remainder of his life.
"Bluebird Care provided a lifeline for our family after Ian's care changed from critical to longterm care. Their staff looked after Ian in such a loving and professional way, and played a vital part in Ian's life.
We will be forever grateful for this and are delighted to have Ian's Trust and Bluebird Care affiliated."
