Benjamin was the last-born of Jacob's thirteen children (12 sons 1 daughter), and the second and last son of Rachel in Jewish, Christian and Islamic tradition. He was the progenitor of the Israelite Tribe of Benjamin. In the Biblical account, unlike Rachel's first son, Joseph, Benjamin was born in Canaan. In the Samaritan Pentateuch, Benjamin's name appears as "Binyaamem" (Hebrew: בנימין, "Son of my days"). In the Qur'an, Benjamin is referred to as righteous young child, who remained with Jacob when the older brothers plotted against Joseph. Later rabbinic traditions name him as one of four ancient Israelites who died without sin, the other three being Chileab, Jesse and Amram.
According to the Torah, Benjamin's name arose when Jacob deliberately corrupted the name Benoni, the original name of Benjamin, since Benoni was an allusion to Rachel's dying just after she had given birth, as it means son of my pain. Textual scholars regard these two names as fragments of naming narratives coming from different sources - one being the Jahwist and the other being the Elohist.

Daniel Ellsberg was the final speaker in the June 2 DC "Manning and the Media" presentation, a program featuring Jesselyn Radack, Michael Ratner, and Peter Van Buren. The event included other notable whistleblowers, including Ann Wright, Ray McGovern, Medea Benjamin, and--as shown here--surprise speaker Ethan McCord. On the eve of Manning's long-delayed court-martial, Ellsberg and others discussed the Obama administration's unprecedented prosecution of people who tell the truth and who could say, as Ethan does here, "I was just doing the right thing." The government's Alice-in-Wonderland approach to charging Manning is clear in (e.g.) claims that Bradley "put lives at risk," when it is a matter of record that his disclosures saved countless American and Iraqi lives--lives that would have b...

PROGRAM: RECENT TRENDS IN ERGODIC THEORY AND DYNAMICAL SYSTEMS DATES: Tuesday 18 Dec, 2012 - Saturday 29 Dec, 2012 VENUE: Department of Mathematics,Faculty of Science, The Maharaja Sayajirao University of Baroda, Vadodara PROGRAM LINK: http://www.icts.res.in/program/ETDS2012 DESCRIPTION: "Dynamical Systems" is an exciting and very active field in mathematics that involves tools and techniques from many areas. A dynamical system can be obtained by iterating a function or letting evolve in time the solution of an equation. Even if the rule of evolution is deterministic, the long term behavior of the system is often chaotic. Different branches of "Dynamical Systems", in particular "Ergodic Theory", provide tools to quantify this chaotic behavior of the system and to predict it in an ...
