I will give thanks with my whole heart.
I will sing my praise for a fresh start.

I will recognize the value of industry.
I will do it in a way that works success for me.

I will celebrate accomplishment 
with competence that is confident.

Love is glorified in recognition 
with the consistent admission of revision. 

Faith looks with the right affection 
after the detection 
of the best direction.

Belief in inerrancy creates stress
but finding the best 
is the goal for the test.

When I called for help, I was answered.
I was given a strength that was not substandard.

The leaders of the earth will recognize
goodness in leadership when it is seen with eyes
looking for objectivity with respect for the prize.

They will sing about moral economy
based on law for all as sovereign in public policy.

The right to life is first for our thirst.
Recognition is immersed, interspersed
and rehearsed for the first.

Moral law must be drawn from experience with science.
Religion is a compliant client of guidance in license. 

Though space reaches high past the sky
heaven touches the earth with a sigh.

One seraph sang to another on high,
'The Lord of hosts resides outside of time
yet the world is filled with goodness sublime.'

Reason transcends space in time
when that which is found was not sought by mind.

There are polygamous trends in nature,
but monogamy is necessary behavior
for economy in human relations to savor.

Fantasy reduces risk from sexually transmitted disease 
unwanted pregnancy or broken social relations in routine.


Japanese Bushclover

Our lucky sister dances by the bushclover in the meadow.
The ah ha la la of the tune escapes the shallow shadow of control
into audible allegro. 


I have heard that by which I have been called.
Negotiation with the word of reason has not stalled.

The body is a temple for truth to nourish
for any who seek to find it with courage.

Angels ascend and descend on the observant prayer.
Knowledge is nourished by wisdom for the heart that cares.

It is not possible to imagine an existing party
as the only agency for representation in the state parley. 

Independence has been declared for parity, 
but the largest country in the world is run warily
by a single party sparingly for inerrancy.

Military action has been limited to defense.
War has been outlawed by practical sense.

Appreciation for patience in relation to situation
reduces complications.
Munition sales don’t obscure other trade relations. 

The present cannot progress
away from oppression as an offense 
into the future by regressive events
with the suspension of rights for excess
compliance with munitions for "crisis."

Trade shines as a leader in world affairs.
The world had been run by official players
who had refused to abide by the law
which is called to play for all.

Though I feel anxiety in the midst of trouble,
I am kept safe. Security comforts my bubble
and leads me to safety to juggle with the subtle.

Creativity meets challenge with courage
when necessity causes invention to flourish.

Purpose will guide me.
Guidance will define how I see
with freedom for responsibility.

I passed on to you what I had received as most important.
The prediction that Christ would die for our sins was with scripture accordant. 

Salvation with Jesus was raised to heaven
so incarnation by resurrection could be praised as leaven.

Discovery will refine my purpose.
Redemption is for liberty in earnest
with justice in the law for all as the service.

Love lasts beyond the past.
Through the present it is cast
into ascension with decency that lasts.

Do not be afraid of your success.
You will learn how to improve your best 
with the policy of your position as the test. 

Faith finds fulfillment in time.
Thanks often celebrates the sublime find of mine.

Each quality can be abstracted from the others with which it is united.
An object is a compound idea perceived by the mind as unified, not divided.

The abstractions of color and motion
don't exist without extension in notion.

The mind can frame to itself the idea of motion without color or extension
but the frame is a reference for use in any kind of motionless investigation. 

Glory rejoices in the awesome!
The solemn problem reduces solid losses.



138 Confitebor tibi

1 I will give thanks to you, O Lord, with my whole heart; *
before the gods I will sing your praise.

2 I will bow down toward your holy temple
and praise your Name, *
because of your love and faithfulness;

3 For you have glorified your Name *
and your word above all things.

4 When I called, you answered me; *
you increased my strength within me.

5 All the kings of the earth will praise you, O Lord, *
when they have heard the words of your mouth.

6 They will sing of the ways of the Lord, *
that great is the glory of the Lord.

7 Though the Lord be high, he cares for the lowly; *
he perceives the haughty from afar.

8 Though I walk in the midst of trouble, you keep me safe; *
you stretch forth your hand against the fury of my enemies;
your right hand shall save me.

9 The Lord will make good his purpose for me; *
O Lord, your love endures for ever;
do not abandon the works of your hands.

George Berkeley
Principles of Human Knowledge
1776

Proper Acceptance of Abstraction
Compound Idea

"...we are told, the mind being able to consider each quality singly, or abstracted from those other qualities with which it is united, does by that means frame to itself abstract ideas. For example, there is perceived by sight an object extended, coloured, and moved: this mixed or compound idea the mind resolving into its simple, constituent parts, and viewing each by itself, exclusive of the rest, does frame the abstract ideas of extension, colour, and motion. Not that it is possible for colour or motion to exist without extension; but only that the mind can frame to itself by ABSTRACTION the idea of colour exclusive of extension, and of motion exclusive of both colour and extension."

Saitama, Saitama

Saitama is the capital and the most populous city of the prefecture. It is located about 25 km (15 miles) north of central Tokyo. Many of the residents commute to work there.

The city sits in the middle of the Kanto Plain.  This is the largest plain in Japan. The city was built on lowlands and plateaus. Most of the terrain is less than 20 m (65.6 ft.) above sea level. There are no mountain ranges or hills within the city limits.

The western portion of the city lies on the lowland created by the Arakawa River. Smaller rivers branch from the Arakawa. The major rivers flow southward almost parallel to each other. The rest of the area mostly resides on the Omiya Plateau. The plateau extends in the north-south direction.

The average high in August is 31.5 C (88.7 F). The average low in January is -1.5 C (29.3 F).

The economy is principally constituted by commercial business. The city is one of many commercial centers in the Greater Tokyo area. It serves the prefecture, North Kanto and northeast Honshu.

The Honda Legend is manufactured at the Sayama Plant. Food, optical, precision and pharmaceutical products are produced there as well. Calsonic Kansei is a global automotive company headquartered in the city.

Urawa Station is 24.2 km (15 m.) from Tokyo and 6.1 km (3.7 m.) from Omiya. Omiya Station is part of the high speed train network. It is the largest railway hub in the prefecture.

Saitama Super Arena is a multi-purpose indoor arena. The maximum spectator capacity is listed as 37,000 seats.  Morning Musume, *C-ute, Berryz Kobo and AKB48 have performed in the stadium.

Hagiwara Mai
Former *C-ute
*C-ute - Life is Step
Dreamlike Climax

Maimai was born on February 7, 1996 in Saitama.

She took part in the Hello! Project Kids auditions at the age of 6. She passed along with 14 other girls on June 30. Her audition song was "Te wo Nigitte Arukitai" by Goto Maki.

Her first appearance in the entertainment industry was in the group 4KIDS. The group appeared in Minimoni the Movie in 2002.

Hello! Project Kids performed alongside Morning Musume at concerts as backup dancers. Hagiwara performed with the group through 2004.

Hagiwara was assigned as a member of *C-ute with 7 other Hello! Project Kids members in 2005. The 8 members were passed over when it came to forming Berryz Koubou. *C-ute originally released songs on an indie label. Four indie singles were released in 2006. They also released their first album.

*C-ute first debut single, "Sakura Chirari" ranked third on the Oricon charts on February 21, 2007. This was the first day that it was shown to the public. The average age for the group was 13. They became the youngest group in the top 10.

Hagiwara published two individual photo books along with one group book that celebrated graduation from high school.

Hagiwara was seen walking with a man on a tabloid's web program in April of 2016. She apologized to the public for any misunderstanding. She consulted with the other *C-ute members about whether she should resign. The other members expressed their desire to work hard together.

It was announced on August 20, 2016 that the group would disband in June 2017 at the Saitama Super Arena.  They were ready to move on to different positions in their careers.

 There is a 'no-dating' rule for the Hello! Project members who have not graduated or disbanded that is intended to help the performers to stay focused on their performance work.

Stage performance, especially with music and dancing, requires a greater time committment than other forms of work. Studio production of records and videos seeks to create the highest performance level for the market. It doesn't leave time for a relationship with regular dates.

Hagi-chan announced that she would study English in New Zealand after the disbandment of *C-ute on June 12, 2017.

She was announced as the design producer for &IDOL. The company was organized by Ito Yuna for former idols to collaborate with various industries to develop a new market to help grow the economy with a business concept that is centered on idols.

Their first project was a beach cafe named SUMMER&IDOL. It was open at Yuigahama in Kamakura Prefecture from July 2 to August 31.

Hagi-chan announced her brand name Mii with the design for an original T-shirt. She established an official website for the company on September 13, 2018.

Pass


Rachel Weisz:
Conical Hat Keeps Out the Cold

Pass
the Past
過去を渡す
Kako o watasu
ps46

Pass the past,
but not too fast.
It was a blast,
but it has passed.

It's gone.
It wasn't all wrong,
but some things went on 
for far too long.

Light is our refuge and strength
even when the sight is not in great length.

We will not fear though the earth be moved.
Our word is strong. Let the strength be proved.

Should mountains be toppled into the depth of the sea
firmness in faith will be free to agree.

When waters rage and foam
certitude will still be known.

When mountains tremble at the earth's tumult
credibility in truth will not revolt
or bolt.

The Host of hosts will stand with us.
Hospitality will build trust.
The breath of ghost 
will bust the dust
with a gust.

Deliverance is our stronghold.
The sound of brass feels so bold.
That trumpet blast sold solid gold.

There is a river that flows through the city of peace.
 The health of softness does not cease
like the downy crown on the feather 
of geese.

It is the habitation of perpetual time;
the gravitation from the earth's sublime climb.

Energy moves the muscle of matter.
When substance is solid, it does not scatter.

Force is found in the defense of time.
Dispersion grounds the sound of the mime.

Dawn will shine at the break of day.
Color will show where it once was gray.

Republic rages and kingdom is shaken.
Law is formed when justice is awakened.

The Word has spoken. The world was mistaken.
Reality grabs for the light that was taken.

Hospitality is ours
when showered with flowers
for the power of the hour.

Look upon the works of the night
when the darkness takes flight 
from the midst of the light.

Awesome things were shown on the stage of the world.
The gun was secured. The flag was unfurled.

She was embraced with her love. Songs were sung for her peace.
This is what made war in society cease.

The missiles were broken. The jets did not fly
though media accounts gave the lie one more try.

Defense had been shaken though it did not give way.
Trial by fire showed the desire for an infinite day.

"Be still then and know me your friend.
I will stand with you beyond the bitter end.
I will be here for the law of the nations to rise.
I will secure the means for the earth's celebration
to ring through the skies."

The Host of hosts is with us.
Hospitality will build trust.
The breath of ghost 
will bust the dust
with a gust.

Deliverance is our stronghold.
The sound of brass feels so bold.
That trumpet blast sold solid gold.


46 Deus noster refugium

1 God is our refuge and strength, *
a very present help in trouble.
2 Therefore we will not fear, though the earth be moved, *
and though the mountains be toppled into the depths of the sea;
3 Though its waters rage and foam, *
and though the mountains tremble at its tumult.
4 The Lord of hosts is with us; *
the God of Jacob is our stronghold.
5 There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God, *
the holy habitation of the Most High.
6 God is in the midst of her;
she shall not be overthrown; *
God shall help her at the break of day.
7 The nations make much ado, and the kingdoms are shaken; *
God has spoken, and the earth shall melt away.
8 The Lord of hosts is with us; *
the God of Jacob is our stronghold.
9 Come now and look upon the works of the Lord, *
what awesome things he has done on earth.
10 It is he who makes war to cease in all the world; *
he breaks the bow, and shatters the spear,
and burns the shields with fire.
11 "Be still, then, and know that I am God; *
I will be exalted among the nations;
I will be exalted in the earth."
12 The Lord of hosts is with us; *
the God of Jacob is our stronghold.

The Colt



Palm Sunday 2013
Others,

There was a time when it was thought that if the ruler was Christian, society would be fair. This concept was the establishment of a state religion.  It is conceivable that some leaders were as fair as they could be given the perpetuation of historical precedents irrespective of respect for civil and human rights. 
The fact that establishment allows for people to be tortured or killed when they don’t belong to the state religion calls for a political principle that doesn’t require citizens to adopt the same religion as the political leader. Freedom of religion is a right that is not limited to the elite, the poor or any faction in society.

The kingdom of Armenia was situated between the Roman and Persian (Parthian) empires. The story of the conversion of the king by an advocate for Christianity follows:  
Gregory the Illuminator
http://justus.anglican.org/resources/bio/114.html
"When he was still an infant, his father assassinated the King of Parthia, and friends of the family carried Gregory away for protection to Caesarea in Cappadocia, where he was reared as a Christian. About 280 he returned to Armenia, where he was at first treated severely, but eventually by his preaching and example brought both King Tiridates and a majority of his people to the Christian faith. About 300, Gregory was consecrated the first bishop of Armenia. He died about 332."

Christianity as the State Religion
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gregory_the_Illuminator#Declaration_of_Christianity_in_Armenia
"In 301 Gregory baptized Tiridates III along with members of the royal court and upper class as Christians. Tiridates III issued a decree by which he granted Gregory full rights to begin carrying out the conversion of the entire nation to the Christian faith. The same year Armenia became the first country to adopt Christianity as its state religion. The newly built cathedral, the Mother Church in Echmiadzin became and remains the spiritual and cultural center of Armenian Christianity and center of the Armenian Apostolic Church."

Kingdom of Armenia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armenia#Antiquity
"King Tiridates III (AD 238–314) made Christianity the state religion in AD 301,[31][32] becoming the first officially Christian state, ten years before the Roman Empire granted Christianity an official toleration under Galerius, and 36 years before Constantine the Great was baptized."


================

Hate groups are fundamentally exclusionary. They don’t recognized rights for others unless they are subordinate to the rights of the “group”(anticipate “party”). When the focus for rights is shifted to those who won’t extend respect for others, the rights of the law abiding, the merciful, the friendly or those dedicated to building fairness in the diversity of society are trivialized. This exclusionary policy shows belief in aggression with cruelty as the design for leadership.
Establishment
http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2013/mar/18/lessons-in-how-to-hate-from-experts/
School officials insist they do not endorse these hate groups, nor has any student ever been converted to their way of thinking. Instead, the classes are held so students can witness the extreme views such groups espouse and know how to avoid them.
However low in income members of hate groups may be, there are those among the wealthy who claim elite status by virtue of belief in the power of laying claim to the will to power. They perpetuate social division in the lower reaches of the social status as based on income level.

When those who have less are fighting for that small amount that is presented as the prize in the contest, they are not thinking about how unfair the elite are or have been. They won’t consider how unfair policies lead to unacceptable conditions within society. This allows the elite to increase the amount that they take.

The Westboro Baptist Church is not that far removed from the KKK, neo-Nazis and other factions. Hitler, after all, claimed to be a Christian. He just laid claim to Aryan faith. The Aryans proposed that the leader was Christ, the demi-urge of God the Creator; that the demi-urge had to destroy what had been in order to create a new world order; that cruelty rules with deception for the will to power.
Factions don’t respect rights for others. They are seeking to establish themselves as the elite; the state religion; the new world order.  

Ride the Colt (Fm Ps.118)
We live with those
who believe that greed is God
or cruelty rules the world.


Experience without cruelty
or greed however
shows that love guides
intelligence with wisdom.
There are those who are wealthy
who do not believe in greed.
There are those with power
who do not believe that cruelty rules.


Blessed are those
who walk in the way.
Give thanks.
God is good.
Let your mercy rule.


Let the people say,
“Mercy endures forever.”
Ride the colt that has not been ridden.
Share the joy of faith. Celebrate
the glory of heaven.
Shine forth with love.


Open for me the gates of paradise.
I will enter. I will give thanks.
This is the gate to justice;
the portal for praise!
The righteous will enter
and be satisfied.


The stone that the builders had rejected
has become the chief cornerstone.
This is the LORD’s doing.
It is marvelous in our eyes.


The divine will has been fulfilled.
We will rejoice and be glad in it.
The rule of law respects
civil and human rights.


Please save us from cruelty, God.
Protect us from greed.
Have mercy on us!
Blessed are those who come in the name of the LORD.
We will bless you in the assembly of holiness.
We will form a procession with palms that reach
to heaven.

We will shine forth as rays from the sun.
God is the LORD!


You are the LORD, God. We thank you.
You are Christ. We exalt you.
Give thanks.
The mercy of Christ
will endure forever.


================
Reagan's trickle down economy was marked by the push for an increase in CEO salaries. It wasn't a push for an increase in salaries for executives. The goal was to reduce middle level management and decrease cash flow because "personnel costs are highest" and CEO's make "the jobs."

Making the CEO salary higher didn't improve the economy. It just made the rich richer. The reduction in cash flow seriously damaged the middle class. The working class has been subjugated to the dictates of the CEO. The policy change did not improve organizational efficiency or effectiveness. It simply ensured that unfairness was to be regarded as the norm.

Abe's call for a small increase in salaries is more like Gerald Ford's WIN (Whip Inflation Now). The idea was to stimulate the economy by increasing the circulation of cash.

Lawson Inc., a convenience store chain, has been making profits. They increased salaries for their employees.

Not Reaganomics
http://www.cnn.com/2013/03/22/business/japan-profits/"Mr Abe's big idea is that more companies should emulate Lawson so that Japan begins to generate expectations of steady growth in incomes."


The Republican party had been espousing statements that ascribed a status of worship to Reagan. The problem is that Reagonomics has done more to decrease representation in constitutional democracy than anything than the error in the “era of good feelings” when single party dominance was regarded as the basis for feeling good.
The future calls for us to ride the colt that had not been ridden, but we need to look to the past for policies that have worked for people. Obama-nomics has favored stimulus to keep the economy from collapse. It has used the stimulus idea from the “WIN” strategy, but companies have not been encouraged to raise salaries for employees.

Let some enterprising CEO’s in profitable enterprises take a chance. Take a cut in salary to increase employee salaries
There are those who have grown accustomed to the elitism promoted by the unfair advantage achieved by the use of loopholes on top of the tax breaks given to the wealthiest. Their rule needs to be taken down.

Linkin Park – Burn It Down
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dxytyRy-O1k
I played soldier, you played king
And struck me down, when I kissed that ring
You lost that right, to hold that crown
I built you up, but you let me down
Close the loopholes. Take a stand against establishment.
