Hear this teaching from life.
An open heart reduces stress from strife.
This truth from ancient times will be declared.
Your family and you will be spared with care.
That which has been heard and shown
has been revealed to us as known.
The deeds of power known under heaven
will be recounted to act as leaven.
Generations will know your praise.
Your work is shown with the sun's rays.
Violence was the wilderness of former times.
Civilization must construct for production's rise.
You split the waters to let us pass.
The sea was weaned of water and left with grass.
You led us with a cloud by day.
The fire by night let us find our way.
You split a rock in the rugged terrain.
You gave us drink without the rain.
A stream flowed from out of the cliff.
The river gushed without the fish.
We, the people had said,
"This way is harsh. We will end up dead.
"Will we be killed by this cure?
We just don't know. We can't be sure."
Hear now, you house of conflict,
"You say my way does most restrict?
"Your way was terribly unfair.
You'd take a life without a care.
"When righteousness had left the pious,
iniquity had found his likeness.
"When inequity defined the lawful
the people were left to fend for awful.
"The righteous were left to stay the course
with diminishing returns for remorse.
"You were judged, you house of disdain.
You have been turned away from causing pain.
"Repent from your transgression.
Confession destroys the affect of oppression.
"Get a new heart and spirit.
Turn from iniquity. Don't go near it.
"I find no pleasure in the death of righteousness.
Refuse cruelty. Let conscience guide your light to bliss."
Let the people say,
"I lift my soul to you, Y-hw-h.
Let me avoid humiliation.
Let me make the situation
the path to salvation
not my condemnation.
"Do not let my enemy
triumph over me.
"I put my trust in you.
You will guide me in what to say or do."
Let none who seek your face be ashamed.
Let the treacherous be trained to refrain from causing pain.
Show me your ways.
Lead me with strength through the length of days.
Lead me in your truth.
Teach me how to calm and sooth.
You are the author of my salvation.
I trust that you will help me build my station.
Remember not the sins of my youth.
Keep me from the serpent's tooth.
A bow has been set in the clouds.
The covenant has been endowed.
Leadership weighs justice with the scales of experience
to use reason to help benefit prevail as joyful and serious.
Being washed from sin is not an ordeal.
It is a trial to help you heal.
The good news is like a friend
that shares your promise beyond your end.
The excellent book about the forest
resides in the palace of the radiant chorus.
May the love for each increase in dimension
if only to revel in the virtue of this sensation.
The prestige of the upright has economic worth.
The peace of the nation salutes your work from birth.
The royal person was like a tower
that kept conscience clean for national power.
You are like the Lord of life,
You are like the precious Christ.
You teach the humble to do what's right.
The lowly delight in your insight.
Let the same mind be found as with Jesus.
Claiming equality with God was not a reason
for being, believing or promoting treason.
He emptied himself of the claim to deity
to leave himself with that which was divine about decency.
He humbled himself with human likeness
that human kind may shine with divine brightness.
The darkness of time is for the brave to fathom
in justice with love that reaches across the chasm.
Stand and raise your head as the end of the year draws near.
Your redemption is at hand. This is something to hold as dear.
The ethics of the kindly forest were embodied in the jasmine and the orchid.
The soft break of a wave caressed the shore before us leaving a thread of foam before it.
Hear this teaching from life.
A clear conscience reduces stress from strife.

Richmond, Virginia
Richmond is the capital of the Commonwealth of Virginia in the United States. It is located at the fall line of the James River. It is 98 miles (158 km) south of Washington, D.C.
Patrick Henry delivered his famous "Give me Liberty or Give me Death" speech in St. John's Church in Richmond in 1775. The speech was crucial for deciding Virginia's participation in the First Continental Congress. The state's participation set the course for revolution and independence.
Richmond emerged as an important industrial center after the American Revolutionary War (1775-1783). An enterprising George Washington helped design the James River and Kanawha Canal from Westham east to Richmond to facilitate the transfer of cargo from the flat-bottomed James River bateaux above the fall line to the ocean-faring ships below in the 18th century.
The canal bypassed Richmond's rapids on the upper James River with the intent of providing a water route across the Appalachian Mountains to the Kanawha River. The river flowed westward into the Ohio then eventually to the Mississippi River.
The population of the city in 1830 was more than 6,000 people.
Channing Moore Williams
Channing Williams was born in Richmond on 17 July 1829. He was the fifth child of lawyer and delegate John Green Williams and his wife Mary Anne Crignan. His father served on the vestry of Monumental Church and led its Sunday school.
Channing's first and middle names reflected Virginia's second bishop. Richard Channing Moore also served as Monumental Church's rector due to the Episcopal Church's financial straits in Virginia after the Revolutionary War and disestablishment. John Williams died when Channing was three years old. The devout Mary Williams raised her four sons and two daughters rather than marry again.
Channing attended the College of William and Mary in Williamsburg, Virginia. He graduated with a master of arts degree in 1852. He then attended the Virginia Theological Seminary in Alexandria, Virginia.
Townsend Harris (a devout Episcopalian) had become the first American consul in Japan in 1856. It was three years after Commodore Matthew Perry's four-warship entry into Edo Bay. Rev. Edward Syle was the senior missionary to China. He went with three chaplains of other denominations and W. B. Reed, the U.S. ambassador to China, on his voyage to Nagasaki two years later.
Channing Williams went to join his fellow VTS graduate Rev. John Liggins to Nagasaki. Williams was assigned by the Foreign Mission Board to begin missionary work in Japan. He joined Rev. Liggins on June 26, 1859.
Rev. Liggins' and Williams' religious duties were initially limited to ministering to American and British residents of the Nagasaki foreign settlement, as well as to visiting sailors due to longstanding government restrictions on the teaching of Christianity (since the arrival of Jesuit missionaries in the 16th century) and the need to learn Japanese. They could also serve as interpreters as well as teach English.
Rev. Liggins compiled a Japanese-English phrasebook before ill-health forced his departure in February 1860. A medical missionary, Dr. Ernest Schmid, arrived, but ill-health also forced his departure. A missionary teacher, Ms. Jeanette Conover, also returned to Shanghai due to Japanese anti-foreigner sentiment in 1863.
The American Civil War also complicated matters. Rev. Williams and a Dutch Reformed priest were the only Protestant missionaries remaining in Japan by 1864. Rev. Williams continued his limited duties and began translating the gospels. His first recorded baptism of a Japanese convert, a Kumamoto samurai named Shōmura Sukeuemon, was not until February 1866.
Bishop Boone died in 1864. The first postwar General Convention elected Williams as his successor. He sailed for the U.S. Fr.Williams was consecrated Episcopal Bishop of China and Japan in St. John's Chapel during a meeting of the Board of Missions in New York City on October 3, 1866.
Presiding Bishop Hopkins led the consecration. He was joined by Bishops Lee, Johns, Payne, Potter, Whipple and Talbot. Bishop Williams remained in the United States that winter. He traveled to both northern and southern cities to tell American clergy and people about the great missionary fields in China and Japan.
Rt. Rev. Williams went initially to China, but returned to Japan in 1868. He had learned the language and no other Protestant missionaries volunteered for that duty. Although numerous Catholic missionaries continued, the government banished 4000 Japanese Catholic converts to Yezzo island (later renamed Hokkaido) in 1869.
Bishop Williams settled at Osaka (a 30-hour sail from China) in 1869. He baptized four more converts the following spring. Meanwhile, Americans tried diplomatic channels to legalize Christian missionary work. Two outposts had been established in 1869 by the Church Missionary Society in Nagasaki and the American Mission Board at Yokohama.
He visited China in a yearly basis after settling in Tokyo. Williams finally received assistance in May 1871. Rev. Arthur Morris of New Jersey arrived in Osaka and began learning the language. He progressed enough to open a boys' school the following fall. The Japanese government finally repealed its anti-Christian law in 1872. The law allowed banished Christians to return to their villages.
Bishop Williams relocated to Tsukiji, Tokyo in December 1873. He was made a bishop of Edo. He founded St. Paul's School as a private school there in February 1874. The school ultimately became Rikkyo University.
Williams worked in partnership with Bishop Edward Bickersteth to unite the various national Anglican missionary efforts in 1887. The missions were organized into the Nippon Sei Ko Kai, (i.e. the "Holy Catholic Church"), the Anglican church in Japan.
Williams stepped down two years later to make way for a younger generation of missionaries. The General Convention chose Bishop John McKim as his successor. He returned to New York for consecration in 1893. Williams remained in Japan, moving to Kyoto to evangelize in the Kansai region.
Williams returned to America in failing health in 1908. It was two years before his death in Richmond on 2 December 1910.

Tokyo, Japan
Tokyo has served as the Japanese capital since 1869.
Japan was allied with Great Britain and the US during World War I.
Prince Takahito was born at the Tokyo Imperial Palace on 2 December 1915. It was in the third year of his father's reign. It was a full fifteen years after the birth of the future Emperor Shōwa.
His childhood name was Sumi-no-miya. Prince Takahito attended the boys' elementary and secondary departments of the Gakushūin (Peers' School) from 1922 to 1932. His eldest brother had already ascended the Chrysanthemum Throne by the time he began his secondary schooling.
His next two brothers, Prince Chichibu and Prince Takamatsu, had already embarked upon careers in the Japanese Imperial Army and the Japanese Imperial Navy, respectively. He enrolled in the Imperial Japanese Army Academy in 1932 and was commissioned as a sub-lieutenant. He was assigned to the Fifth Cavalry Regiment in June 1936. He subsequently graduated from the Army Staff College.
Emperor Shōwa granted him the title Mikasa-no-miya (Prince Mikasa) upon attaining the age of majority in December 1935. He was authorized to form a new branch of the Imperial Family.
miya = prince = principal with principles
mikasa = beautiful household
Prince Mikasa was promoted to lieutenant in 1937 and to captain in 1939. He served in China under the name of "Wakasugi". He was harshly critical of conduct in the Japanese military in China during his army career. He criticized the Imperial Army's invasion of and atrocities in China in a 1994 interview.
He recalled having been "strongly shocked" when an officer informed him that the best way to train new recruits was to use living Chinese POWs for bayonet practice. Prince Mikasa and his cousin Prince Tsuneyoshi Takeda received a special screening by Shirō Ishii of a film showing airplanes loading germ bombs for bubonic plague dissemination over the Chinese city of Ningbo in 1940 according to Daniel Barenblatt.
He also was given a film of Japanese atrocities that was possibly linked to the footage used in the Battle of China. He was so moved that he had his brother Emperor Hirohito watch the film.
A newspaper revealed that after Prince Mikasa's return to Tokyo in 1994 he had written a stinging indictment of the conduct of the Imperial Japanese Army in China. The Prince had witnessed Japanese atrocities against Chinese civilians.
Many members of the imperial family such as Princes Chichibu, Takamatsu and Higashikuni pressed Emperor Hirohito to abdicate after the defeat of Japan in World War II so one of the Princes could serve as regent until Crown Prince Akihito came of age.
Prince Mikasa even stood up in the privy council and indirectly urged the emperor to step down to accept responsibility for Japan's defeat on 27 February 1946. U.S. General of the Army Douglas MacArthur insisted that Emperor Hirohito retain the throne. The Minister of Welfare Ashida's diary noted, "Everyone seemed to ponder Mikasa's words. Never have I seen His Majesty's face so pale."
Prince Mikasa enrolled in the Literature Faculty of the University of Tokyo and pursued advanced studies in archaeology, Middle Eastern studies and Semitic languages after the war. He directed the Japanese Society for Middle East Studies from 1954 until his death in 2016. He was honorary president of the Japan Society of Orientology.
The Prince held visiting and guest faculty appointments in Middle Eastern studies and archaeology at various universities in Japan and abroad. The positions were at Tokyo National University of Fine Arts and Music, Aoyama Gakuin, Tokyo Woman's Christian University, the University of London, Hokkaido University and the University of Shizuoka. He made numerous radio and television appearances to speak about cultural subjects. He was known as "the Imperial scholar"
His heart gradually slowed to a stop on 27 October 2016 with his wife at this side. Prince Mikasa was pronounced dead at 8:34 AM. He had outlived all of his siblings and all three of his sons at his death. He was also the last surviving grandson of Emperor Meiji. He was 101 years old.

"I once received a letter from an eminent logician, Mrs. Christine Ladd-Franklin, saying that she was a solipsist, and was surprised that there were no others. Coming from a logician and a solipsist, her surprise surprised me."
— Bertrand Russell
Windsor, CT
A party of around 30 people sponsored by Sir Richard Saltonstall and led by the Stiles brothers, Francis, John and Henry, settled in the Windsor area in 1635. Governor John Winthrop of the Massachusetts Bay Company stated in a letter to Saltonstall that the Stiles party was the second group to settle in Connecticut.
The first group of 60 or more were led by Roger Ludlow. They had traveled overland from Dorchester, Massachusetts. They had arrived in the New World five years earlier on the ship Mary and John from Plymouth, England. Reverend Warham promptly renamed the Connecticut settlement “Dorchester”.
More settlers arrived from Massachusetts. They outnumbered and soon displaced the original Plymouth contingent. The first settles returned to Plymouth in 1638 after they sold their parcel of land to Matthew Allyn of Hartford. Ludlow would become the primary framer of the Fundamental Orders of Connecticut.
The colony’s General Court changed the name of the settlement from Dorchester to Windsor in 1637. The name was taken from the town of Windsor, Berkshire on the River Thames in England.
An event took place in the summer of 1640 that would forever change the boundaries of the Connecticut River Valley. The founder of Springfield, William Pynchon, was given authority by Windsor and Hartford to negotiate a price for grain with the natives for the three settlements during a grain famine.
The Pequot and Mohegan tribes had the one Algonquian language. The Podunk were forced to pay tribute to the Pequot. The Podunk had been the ones who had invited the settlers from Plymouth to move to the area as a mediating force between the tribes.
The natives refused to sell grain at the usual market price during the famine. Then they refused to sell it at a “reasonable price.” Pynchon refused to buy it at the stated cost. He attempted to teach the natives a lesson about integrity and reliability.
The citizens of Hartford were furious and Windsor’s cattle were malnourished. Hartford commissioned the famous Indian fighter John Mason to travel to Springfield with “money in one hand and a sword in the other.” He was to threaten the natives to force the trade. The natives capitulated and sold their grain.
Mason refused to share the grain with Springfield. He insisted that anyone from that town pay a tax when sailing ships passed Windsor. Springfield chose to side with the Massachusetts Bay rather than the Connecticut Colony. Windsor adopted a neutral position in the colonial rivalry, but their location on the border with the other settlements caused discussions about alliance.
Windsor sided with Connecticut.
Christine Ladd
Christian Ladd was born on December 1, 1847 in Windsor. Her parents were Eliphalet Ladd, a merchant, and Augusta Niles. She lived with her parents and younger brother in New York City during her early childhood. The family moved back to Windsor in 1853. Her sister Jane Augusta was born the following year.
Christine's mother and aunt chose to bring her with them to women's rights lectures and suffrage meetings. They were supporters of women's rights. Augusta died from cancer.
Christine enrolled in Vassar College in Poughkeepsie, New York in the fall of 1866. Vassar was a women's college that was set up to rival the education that was available to men. She went to school with a loan that was provided by her late mother's sister. She only studied for a year due to financial difficulties. She worked as a public school teacher until her aunt's aid allowed her to reenter Vassar. She graduated in 1869.
Christine had started to work with the mentorship of Maria Mitchell. Mitchell was an astronomy professor. She was famous for having been "the first woman to discover a new comet" using a telescope in 1847. Mitchell was also a suffragette. She strove to inspire women to gain self-confidence in order to succeed in professional positions.
Christine developed a love for the fields of physics and mathematics. She chose mathematics. She eventually reflected back and said "had it not been for the impossibility" of obtained access to laboratory facilities for women in those days she would have gone into physics as her first love.
She was accepted into John Hopkins University in 1878 with the help of James J. Sylvester. Sylvester was an English mathematician who remembered some of her earlier works in London's Educational Times. Her application for the University's fellowship was signed "C. Ladd." Hopkins offered her the fellowship without realizing that the name belonged to a woman.
When they came to the realization that such was the case, the board moved to revoke the offer. Sylvester insisted that she should be accepted as his student. She was.
She held a fellowship at Hopkins in Baltimore, Maryland for three years, but the trustees did not allow her name to be printed in circulars with those of the other fellows for fear of setting a precedent. Dissension over her continued presence forced one of the original trustees to resign.
She was initially only allowed to take classes with Sylvester. She was permitted to receive instruction from different professors after she displayed exceptional work in Sylvester's courses. She was known as a fellow student even though she received a stipend.
She took classes taught by Charles Sanders Peirce from 1879-80. Peirce has been called the first American experimental psychologist. She wrote a dissertation "On the Algebra of Logic." He was the thesis adviser. The dissertation was published in Studies in Logic in 1883.
Christine became the first American woman to receive formal graduate instruction in both mathematics and symbolic logic due to her study with Sylvester and Peirce.
She complete all the requirements for a PhD at Hopkins, but was refused the doctorate since women were not allowed to graduate from the university. She was officially granted the degree by the institute in 1927. She was 78 years old. It was 44 years after she had earned it.
Ladd-Franklin
She was married to a professor named Franklin during the period of graduate study.
She attempted to establish a teaching position at John Hopkins in 1893, but was denied. She remained determined and persistent despite the setback. She was at last given permission to teach one class per year eleven years later 1n 1904. Her position had to be approved and renewed on a yearly basis up until 1909.
Ladd-Franklin worked with German psychologist G.E. Muller after leaving Hopkins. She carried out experimental work in vision. She was also able to work in the laboratory of Hermann von Helmholtz. She attended his lectures on the theory of color vision. She developed her own theory of color vision after attending these lectures. She published Color and Color Theories in 1929.
Her theory of color vision was based on evolution. It became one of the major contributions to psychology. Some animals are color blind. Achromatic vision appeared in evolution first. Color vision came later.
The human eye carries fragments of its earlier evolutionary development. The most highly evolved part of the eye is the fovea. Visual acuity and color sensitivity are greatest at least in daylight.
Peripheral vision is provided by the rods of the retina. The detection of movement at night is crucial for survival. It is more primitive than foveal vision. This kind of sight is provided by the cones of the retina.
Ladd-Franklin concluded that color vision evolved in three stages. Achromatic is black and white. It doesn't detect color. It came first. Blue-yellow sensitivity came next. Blue and yellow identify the light of day. Red-green sensitivity came after.
The number of people who suffer from red-green color blindness are an indicator of the lateness in evolutionary development. Blue-yellow color blindness effects a smaller population. The majority of the population is not effected by black-white color blindness because achromatic vision came as the first stage.
Primates have trichromatic color vision as a genetic trait by the mechanism of gene duplication. The ability to perceive red and orange hues allows tree-dwelling primates to discern them from green. Fruit is often distinguished by red or orange hue.
The red and orange carotenoids in nutrient-rich new foliage have not yet been masked by chlorophyll. The ability of humans to detect red and orange serves as an indicator that our primitive ancestors foraged for fruit in trees.
The detection of skin flushing as a means to discern mood was also a function of the development of trichomatic vision in primates. Redness of skin particularly in the face indicates increased blood flow. It can mean anger, embarrassment, shame, joy or physical attraction. The general indication is that of emotional intensity.
The catarrhines include Old World monkeys and apes along with humans as a category of simians. The catarrhines are routinely trichromatic. Both males and females possess three opsins that are sensitive to short, medium and long wave light.
New World monkeys are platyrrhine. Only a small fraction of platyrrhine primates are trichromats.
Ladd-Franklin was the first woman to have a paper published in the Analyst. She was also the first woman to receive a Ph.D. in mathematics and logic. The majority of her publications were based on visual processes and logic. Her views influenced C. S. Peirce's logic. She was highly praised by
Prior.

Chiba, Japan
Chiba literally means "Thousand(s) Leaves", is the capital city of Chiba Prefecture, Japan. It sits about 40 kilometres (25 mi) southeast of the center of Tokyo on Tokyo Bay.
Chiba City is one of the Kantō region's primary seaports. It is home to Chiba Port. The port handles one of the highest volumes of cargo in the nation. Much of the city is residential, although there are many factories and warehouses along the coast.
Chiba is famous for the Chiba Urban Monorail. It is the longest suspended monorail in the world.
There are some popular destinations in the city. Kasori Shell Midden is the largest shellmound in the world. It measures at 134,000 m2 (160,000 sq yd). Inage Beach is the first artificial beach in the nation. It forms part of the longest artificial beach in Japan. The Chiba City Zoological Park is popular on account of the standing red panda Futa.
Miyamoto Karin was born on December 1, 1998 in Chiba.
It was announced on 3 February 2012 during the Bravo! concert in Fukuoka that Miyamoto would debut in a new unit, Juice=Juice, along with Kanazawa Tomoko, Miyazaki Yuka, Takagi Sayuki, Otsuka Aina and Uemura Akari.
She was raised as an only child and lives with her grandparents. She has a pet cat named Jasmine.
Miyamoto announced that her grandfather had passed away on October 8, 2018. She was performing in the Time Repeat ~Eien ni Kimi wo Omou~ musical. His last words to her were "Do your best Juice=Juice".
