TIME
There is compensation for every other loss. There is no compensation for the loss of time. What is wasted is gone once for all.
Time is the interval between tow incidents. It is without beginning and end. Man gets quota in it. Foolish is he who does not know the value of time. He squanders it. Wise is he who accounts for it. By making the best use of time man builds his career. He who knows the value of time has known the secret of life.
I am the mighty world-destroying Time now engaged in wiping out the world.
--- Bhagavad Gita

RÉFLEXIONS OU SENTENCES ET MAXIMES MORALES
9
Les passions ont une injustice et un propre intérêt qui fait qu'il est dangereux de les suivre, et qu'on s'en doit défier lors même qu'elles paraissent les plus raisonnables.
10
Il y a dans le coeur humain une génération perpétuelle de passions, en sorte que la ruine de l'une est presque toujours l'établissement d'une autre.

9.—The passions possess a certain injustice and self interest which makes it dangerous to follow them, and in reality we should distrust them even when they appear most trustworthy.
10.—In the human heart there is a perpetual generation of passions; so that the ruin of one is almost always the foundation of another.

Treated water at Fukushima plant likely to be discharged in spring or summer
福島第１原発の処理水放出、春から夏に実施へ
A planned discharge of treated water from the crippled Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant into the sea will start around this spring or summer, some two years after a decision on its release was made, the government said Jan. 13.
A revised policy on the disposal of the treated water, containing low-level concentrations of tritium, as well as financial support for affected fishing communities was endorsed during a meeting of relevant Cabinet ministers on Jan. 13.
“We would like to thoroughly explain these measures to fishing communities and other relevant parties while listening to their concerns,” Chief Cabinet Secretary Hirokazu Matsuno said at the meeting.
The communities, as well as China, remain opposed to the release of water about 1 kilometer off Fukushima Prefecture’s Pacific coast.
South Korea is also opposed to the discharge of treated water, and reiterated on Jan. 13 that the water must be safely disposed of in accordance with international standards. (Kyodo)

***** Cities of Refuge *****
1 When the LORD thy God hath cut off the nations, whose land the LORD thy God giveth thee, and thou succeedest them, and dwellest in their cities, and in their houses;
2 Thou shalt separate three cities for thee in the midst of thy land, which the LORD thy God giveth thee to possess it.
3 Thou shalt prepare thee a way, and divide the coasts of thy land, which the LORD thy God giveth thee to inherit, into three parts, that every slayer may flee thither.
4 And this is the case of the slayer, which shall flee thither, that he may live: Whoso killeth his neighbor ignorantly, whom he hated not in time past;
5 As when a man goeth into the wood with his neighbor to hew wood, and his hand fetcheth a stroke with the axe to cut down the tree, and the head slippeth from the helve, and lighteth upon his neighbor, that he die; he shall flee unto one of those cities, and live:
(helve = handle)
6 Lest the avenger of the blood pursue the slayer, while his heart is hot, and overtake him, because the way is long, and slay him; whereas he was not worthy of death, inasmuch as he hated him not in time past.
7 Wherefore I command thee, saying, Thou shalt separate three cities for thee.
8 And if the LORD thy God enlarge thy coast, as he hath sworn unto thy fathers, and give thee all the land which he promised to give unto thy fathers;
9 If thou shalt keep all these commandments to do them, which I command thee this day, to love the LORD thy God, and to walk ever in his ways; then shalt thou add three cities more for thee, beside these three:
10 That innocent blood be not shed in thy land, which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance, and so blood be upon thee.
11 But if any man hate his neighbor, and lie in wait for him, and rise up against him, and smite him mortally that he die, and fleeth into one of these cities:
12 Then the elders of his city shall send and fetch him thence, and deliver him into the hand of the avenger of blood, that he may die.
13 Thine eye shall not pity him, but thou shalt put away the guilt of innocent blood from Israel, that it may go well with thee.
14 Thou shalt not remove thy neighbor's landmark, which they of old time have set in thine inheritance, which thou shalt inherit in the land that the LORD thy God giveth thee to possess it.
***** Witnesses *****
15 One witness shall not rise up against a man for any iniquity, or for any sin, in any sin that he sinneth: at the mouth of two witnesses, or at the mouth of three witnesses, shall the matter be established.
16 If a false witness rise up against any man to testify against him that which is wrong;
17 Then both the men, between whom the controversy is, shall stand before the LORD, before the priests and the judges, which shall be in those days;
18 And the judges shall make diligent inquisition: and, behold, if the witness be a false witness, and hath testified falsely against his brother;
19 Then shall ye do unto him, as he had thought to have done unto his brother: so shalt thou put the evil away from among you.
20 And those which remain shall hear, and fear, and shall henceforth commit no more any such evil among you.
21 And thine eye shall not pity; but life shall go for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot.
