Schocking images from the Tibetan unrest

Thanks to http://justar-lawblog.blogspot.com/, I became aware of the following. We are all aware of the Chinese oppression in Tibet, but to watch the video below is particularly upsetting.

The first images from the oppression in Tibet- Nouvel Obs
The images in this video, at times shocking, were given out by the Tibetan government-in-exile. One can see Tibetans beaten up by police forces. Particularly hard to look at are the images of a young man, apparently tortured and eventually killed by his severe wounds.

What measure theory is about

It's about counting, but when things get too large.
Put otherwise, it's about addition of positive numbers, but when these numbers are far too many.

The principle of dynamic programming

max_{x,y} [f(x) + g(x,y)] = max_x [f(x) + max_y g(x,y)]

The bottom line
