Haden Edwards
Haden Edwards (August 12, 1771 – August 14, 1849) was a Texas settler and land speculator. Edwards County, Texas on the Edwards Plateau is named for him. In 1825, Edwards received a land grant from the Mexican government, allowing him to settle families in East Texas. His grant included the city of Nacogdoches, and Edwards soon angered many of the previous settlers. After his contract was revoked in 1826, Edwards and his brother declared the colony to be the Republic of Fredonia. He was forced to flee Mexico when the Mexican army arrived to put down the rebellion, and did not return until after the Texas Revolution had broken out. He was also located near the Sabine River. The main town was called Nacogdoches.
Early life[edit]
Haden Edwards was born in Stafford County, Virginia, on August 12, 1771. He was the son of John Edwards Sr., who later became one of the first two U. S. Senators from Kentucky. Haden Edwards married Susanna Beall of Maryland and they had 13 children born in Virginia, Kentucky, Louisiana & Georgia.[citation needed] One of his sons was Haden Harrison Edwards.[1] In 1820 Haden Edwards and his brother Benjamin acquired a plantation near Jackson, Mississippi.[citation needed]
After learning that Mexican authorities were considering opening Mexican Texas to American immigration, Edwards traveled to Mexico City, where he joined forces with Stephen F. Austin, among others, in a 3-year attempt to persuade various Mexican governments to pass a law to allow Americans to settle in Texas.
In 1824 the Mexican federal government passed a General Colonization Law, which for the first time permitted immigration into Texas. Under the terms of the law, each state would set its own requirements for immigration. On March 24, 1825, Coahuila y Tejas passed a colonization law, authorizing large land grants to empresarios who would recruit settlers for a particular colony.[2] Many would-be empresarios had congregated in Mexico to lobby for land grants. Among these was Haden Edwards, an American land speculator who quickly became known for his quick temper and aggressiveness.[3] Despite his abrasive attitude, Edwards was granted a colonization contract on April 14.[4] The contract allowed him to settle 800 families in East Texas. It contained standard language requiring Edwards to recognize all pre-existing Spanish and Mexican land titles in his grant area, to raise a militia to protect the settlers in the area, and to allow the state land commissioner to certify all deeds that Edwards would award.[3][5]
Edwards's colony encompassed the land from the Navasota River to 20 leagues west of the Sabine River, and from 20 leagues north of the Gulf of Mexico to 15 leagues north of the town of Nacogdoches.[3] To the west and north of the colony were lands controlled by several native tribes which had recently been driven out of the United States. The southern boundary was a colony belonging to Stephen F. Austin, the first empresario in Texas; he had received special permission to establish his colony several years previously. East of Edwards's grant was the former Sabine Free State, a neutral zone which had been essentially lawless for several decades.[6]
Edwards arrived in Nacogdoches in August 1825.[3] Under the mistaken belief that he was authorized to determine the validity of pre-existing land deeds,[7] in September Edwards posted notices alerting all residents that they must provide written proof of their ownership or their land would be forfeited and sold at auction.[7][8] None of the English-speaking residents had valid titles; those who had not arrived as filibusters had been duped by land speculators.[8] Most of the Spanish-speaking landowners were unable to find documentation that their families might have received 70 or more years previously.[5] Edwards's goal was to remove many of the less-prosperous settlers and assign their lands to wealthy planters from the southern United States. A wealthy planter himself, Edwards scorned the residents who were poorer or of a different race than himself.[7] Anticipating that there might be conflict between the new empresario and the long-time residents of the area, municipality acting alcalde Luis Procela and the municipality clerk, Jose Antonio Sepulveda, began validating old Spanish and Mexican land titles. Edwards accused the men of forging deeds. It is likely that both Edwards and the municipality authorities were in the wrong; the state land commissioner had been given authority to validate existing land titles.[9]
The settlers protested to Political Chief Saucedo. In June 1826 Mexican President Guadalupe Victoria annulled Edward's contract and expelled him from Mexico. Word traveled slowly. On November 22, 1826, thirty-six armed men who supported Edwards, arrested the anti-Edwards alcalde Samuel Norris and other officials. The party then arrested Jose Antonio Sepulveda, the commander of Nacogdoches' tiny Mexican militia.
Mexican response[edit]
On December 16, 1826 the rebels rode into Nacogdoches and raised a flag of independence. On December 21, 1826 Edwards signed a document declaring the Republic of Fredonia, which would comprise land from the Sabine River to the Rio Grande. On December 13, 1826 Mexican Colonel Mateo Ahumada and Saucedo moved against the Texas rebels. Austin rallied the other colonist against Edwards and his attempt at open rebellion. Austin offered to negotiate with Edwards, but he refused. On January 22, 1827 Colonel Ahumada moved towards Nacogdoches. All was not going well inside the Edwards camp either. There was internal fighting and the rebellion weakened. With the advancing Mexican and Anglo troops Edwards fled to Louisiana for safety on January 28, 1827. He returned to Texas during the Texas Revolution, participated in the battle of Nacogdoches in 1832 and made his home in Nacogdoches until his death, on August 14, 1849.

Two armed robberies, an attempted snatch-and-grab theft and a fugitive arrest just off campus, Wednesday's shooting outside the White House and two murders at a local university. These events should compel GW students to be more guarded about their safety on and around campus.
Most of GW's security concerns lie at the periphery of campus, as the University Police Department does a good job keeping GW's streets fairly safe. But with such targets for violence as the White House and the other bureaus and agencies so close by, students must be mindful of the potential for terrorism or lone-gunman attacks. No one wants to be the innocent bystander killed by an assassin's stray bullet.
But much less dramatic and perhaps even more dangerous is the potential for students to be complacent on or near campus. Robberies are much easier to successfully carry out if the victim is walking alone late at night, as two students robbed at gunpoint near campus this year were. Thefts of opportunity – GW's largest security problem – are only possible when students carelessly leave their doors unlocked or expensive belongings lying about unattended.
The recent local events making national headlines vividly show that the GW community must take care to protect itself. While Foggy Bottom may be one of the quieter neighborhoods in D.C., it is by no means unsusceptible to crime. Despite the best efforts of University officials and police, Foggy Bottom will never be completely safe.

How to Fix a Blocked PUKby Eric Wilborn
For the safety of wireless subscriber's data and monetary investment, many GSM phone manufacturers (such as AT&T and T-Mobile) provide an option to place a PIN lock on a SIM card. This PIN lock keeps strangers from accessing what's on the SIM card or making calls with the locked phone. If you enter an incorrect PIN code three times, a PUK (Pin Unlock Key) code will be requested. This number is provided by the service provider.
Step 1
Take the battery cover off of the blocked phone and remove the battery.
Step 2
Write down the phone's IMEI and SIM card number. The IMEI can be found on a sticker behind the phone's battery (which you've already taken out). The SIM card number is printed on one side of your SIM card.
Step 3
Put the phone back together and power it on.
Step 4
Call your wireless provider from another phone and ask to speak with someone about PUK unlocking.
Step 5
Provide the representative with information from the phone and SIM.
Put the given code into the PUK lock screen to unlock your phone and SIM.

I don't know if we'll get back into our Wednesday night groove again, but it was nice to sit across the table from N for a leisurely evening out. Once again I'm amazed at the very full parking lot at Thompson's and walking in to find available tables. It HAS to be due to a majority of diners driving their own car. I'm finally getting used to the wait staff warning about delayed meals from their kitchen. Heck, we don't go there for fast food! The complaints must have increased enough that the managers decided they need to say something?
There was a vehicle with government plates in Thompson's parking lot and the conversation from the table next to us seemed to match. Now I'm even more curious whether there was some kind of law enforcement gathering in town. My first nudge came from the stats page showing someone from the Canadian Mounties was looking up places to eat in town. NASA visited this morning, but their search was more generic - citywise.
Onward to Thursday and an afternoon dental check-up.

TudorCast #17
Welcome to Tudor Cast, a podcast dedicated to Tudor History.
Hello, and welcome to Tudor Cast for October 2007. I'm your host, Lara Eakins owner of tudorhistory.org and the TudorTalk email list at YahooGroups.
Let's get started with a recap of some of the Tudor news since the last podcast.
It was a fairly light news month since the last podcast, so here's the quick round-up. "Elizabeth: The Golden Age" was released here in the States on October 12th, but I still haven't had a chance to see it myself, but if you've seen it and would like to comment there is an open thread on the news blog.
Although it is now closed to tours, English Heritage opened Apethorpe Hall to the public to show some of the restoration work they've done over the past three years. The hall dates from 1470 and had fallen into disrepair. It was purchased by English Heritage in 2004 and work began to restore it to its former grandeur. They expect to have the work completed in 2008. Be sure to check out the link to the restoration project website on the news blog.
The last news link for the month was to the Embroiderer's blog at the Plimoth Plantation website. The embroiderers are recreating an early 17th century women's jacket all the way down to the embroidered designs and motifs. Being a needlework enthusiast myself, I found this project fascinating and I've been enjoying reading about their progress and the historical fashion research they've been doing.

And now for This Month in Tudor History, where I feature some well known and maybe not as well known events that took place during this month.
On the 12th of October, 1537 Jane Seymour gave birth to the future Edward VI, Henry VIII's long hoped-for male heir. Just 12 days later, Jane would be dead from complications of the birth.
Jane Seymour's birth date is not known for sure, but is thought to be around 1508 or 1509 and she was probably born at her family estate of Wolf Hall in Wiltshire. Her father was Sir John Seymour a courtier and soldier and her mother was Margery Wentworth, daughter of Sir Henry Wentworth and through her Wentworth ancestors, Jane was a fifth cousin of her future husband, Henry VIII.
Not much is known about Jane's childhood or early adult life before she came to court and caught the eye of the king. She first came to court as a lady in waiting to Queen Catherine of Aragon in around 1529, but then moved to serve Anne Boleyn. It is not known for sure when Henry began to look for a potential replacement for Anne Boleyn, but it may have been as early as October 1534. It was then that an unnamed woman, perhaps Jane, was mentioned in a letter from the Imperial ambassador, Eustace Chapuys, as being "attached" to Henry VIII. Jane was the eldest daughter in a family of ten children, including six boys, which was regarded as a good sign that Jane herself would produce a male heir. Chapuys described her as "of middle stature and no great beauty, so fair that one would call her rather pale than otherwise", making her a contrast to the dark Anne Boleyn.
Henry VIII visited Wolf Hall in September 1535 and by February 1536 the king was sending presents to Jane. There was a famous incident in April, again reported by Chapuys, where Jane refused a letter and a purse of money from Henry and asked the messenger to tell the king: "to consider that she was a well-born damsel, the daughter of good and honorable parents, without blame or reproach of any kind; there was no treasure in this world that she valued as much as her honor, and on no account would she lose it, even if she were to die a thousand deaths. That if the king wished to make her a present of money, she requested him to reserve it for such a time as God would be pleased to send her some advantageous marriage."
Jane asked that the King only visit her in the presence of her family. Whether or not Jane was sincere or playing the part she was asked to by the growing anti-Boleyn faction, we will never know for sure. Events began to move quickly and Anne Boleyn's enemies saw in Jane the chance to remove "the concubine" and replace her with a new Queen. Anne was arrested on May 2 and was executed two and a half weeks later on May 19th. The same day of Anne's death Archbishop Cranmer issued the dispensation for Jane and Henry to marry, and the next day, on the 20th, their betrothal was announced. On the 30th of May, in the Queen's closest at Whitehall, Henry VIII married for the third time. Because both Catherine of Aragon and Anne Boleyn were now dead, there was no question of the legality of this marriage and of the legitimacy of any children Jane would bear the king.
Two of Jane's brothers, Edward and Thomas, benefited from their sister's new position as Queen - Edward became the Earl of Hertford and was made a privy councilor in 1537 and Thomas was knighted. Jane also was on good terms with her step-daughters, Mary and Elizabeth and she is generally credited with having been responsible for Mary's reconciliation with her father.
In February or March 1537, it was announced that the Queen was pregnant and her quickening was celebrated on the 27th of May, Trinity Sunday. The quickening was the term given when a pregnant mother first feels the movement of the unborn child. On September 16th, Jane began her confinement at Hampton Court Palace. The confinement was a period of time that a pregnant woman would withdraw to her chamber to await the birth of a child.
Jane's labor began on October 9th and did not end until the birth of her son, named Edward, at two in the morning on October 12th. Contrary to later stories, Edward was not born by caesarean section. Edward was baptized in the chapel at Hampton Court three days later with Archbishop Cranmer and the Duke of Norfolk as godfathers and the baby's half-sister Mary as godmother. The four-year-old Elizabeth attended the christening, carried by the Queen's brother Edward Seymour. Not surprisingly, the celebrations of the prince's birth were extensive and on the 18th Edward was given two traditional titles of the heir to the throne Prince of Wales and Duke of Cornwall.
Within a few days of Edward's birth, Jane fell ill with an infection often called "child-bed fever", and is also known as puerperal fever. Jane developed septicemia and descended into delirium and by the 24th, she was not expected to live. She died just before midnight that night. Jane was buried at St. George's chapel at Windsor Castle on the 13th of November with Princess Mary as the chief mourner.
Henry seems to have genuinely mourned the loss of Jane and remained clothed in black until early February 1538. In later family portraits, Jane was the wife pictured with Henry - presumably because she was the mother of the heir to the throne, but perhaps because he also enjoyed his time with her. It is interesting to note that Jane was also the wife that Henry chose to be buried alongside. Their grave marker, a simple black stone in the floor of the chapel, can still be visited today.
As an added note, I will try to start recording what the main sources for this section are in the future. Most of my information this month came from Jane's entry in the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography and Antonia Fraser's "The Six Wives of Henry VIII".
And now for a page from the Tudor History glossary. We're up to "J" for jointure. Jointure is a legal term giving a widow more rights to property and money after her husband's death than would be guaranteed by common law.
When a woman entered a marriage with lands and money of her own (usually referred to as a dowry or dower) her property would join that of her new husband. If the husband died before the wife, if no jointure had been made, the widow would entitled to one-third of her late husband's estate under common law or whatever pre-arranged amount had been contracted for her dower upon her husband's death.
However, if a jointure had been created, then the wife gives up the right to get her own dower back, but will hold the estate with her husband jointly while they are alive. And upon her husband's death, the widow would be entitled to more than the one-third due to her under common law.
To tie into our subject from "This Month in Tudor History", Henry VIII gave Jane Seymour a jointure of lands and manors, including Suffolk Place in London when they were married.
Of course, there are a lot more technicalities and special circumstances involved in the creation of jointures, especially when titles and vast estates were at stake. And sometimes, despite the legal agreements, the dower lands of powerful women were seized or disputed for political purposes. An example would be Elizabeth Woodville's lands as the Dowager Queen, which Henry VII eventually took and gave to her daughter, Elizabeth of York, his wife and queen.
Now it's time for a segment where I feature a text from the Tudor period.
I've selected a couple of poems this month. The first is the poem about the death of Jane Seymour. The history is not very accurate in the poem, as you will notice. I looked around for more information on the poem, such as a possible date or origin, but I wasn't able to find anything conclusive. I found several references to it having been written from a song being sung by a gypsy girl, so it might just be best classified as a traditional ballad whose origins are now lost to us.
This second poem is a little more cheerful. It is "The Hunt is Up" by William Gray, who died in 1557.
And now for some closing comments…
This month's featured website is actually two sites, Google Book Search and the Internet Archive's Text Archive. Google book search is good for searching for current books on topics you might be looking for, but what I want to highlight with both sites is how they can be helpful in finding history books that are now in the public domain. I used to browse the stacks in my university's library for Tudor primary source texts for the website and have scanned several for myself originally with the intention of getting them up on the web. Anyone who has been waiting for me to finish putting "The Chronicle of Queen Jane and Two Years of Queen Mary" online has figured out how long it takes me to proofread the text recognition software output and get it into a well-formatted page for the website. But, now anyone can download their own scans of that book and many, many others like it. The Camden Society publications were the first that I came across when I was looking for primary source texts. In the early 19th century, they started printing books from old chronicles, manuscripts, letters, etc. and are a good source for finding texts without having to try to read the old handwriting! One of the best ways to find texts is to just type in the name of a person you're interested in and start browsing. Before you know it, you will have wasted an hour and downloaded PDFs of a dozen or so 19th century books. The addresses for the sites are books.google.com and www.archive.org/details/texts
I've extended the "Tudors" give-away and survey two weeks because I ended up just not having time to finish that up properly. I'll close the survey at noon US central time on Sunday the 28th. If you haven't already taken the survey, you can still do so at tudorhstory.org/contest. If you want to be in the drawing, just leave your email address. You can take the survey without entering the give-away.
If you want to comment on this podcast, you can do so at tudorhistory.org/podcast or send me an email at firstname.lastname@example.com A transcript of this and previous podcasts are also available at the website as well as links to mp3s of all the episodes.
Logon to magnatune.com to listen to and purchase music from the artists that you heard featured in this podcast. I'll have a complete rundown of which albums I used in the podcast notes.
Until next month, fare the well!

[CPU] Anyone Can Now Join My 24/7 Chat Room
Remember IRC? Well, Today's Nerds Live in Discord!
|Chris Pirillo
|Jul 13, 2019

Greetings, Programs!
There was a time when I live streamed video 24/7 in my home office (now affectionately dubbed my 'playshop' - because 'workshop' sounds as snooze-worthy as 'home office'). I never really stopped live streaming or chatting, I just wasn't able to do it as regularly as I could have or should have.
I'm trying - really, I'm trying - to get into a groove, to find a sweet spot between that which interests me, that which interests people who are interested in me, and that which is interesting enough to yap-yap-yap with any degree of consistency.
Then, I did something crazy last night:
In all the madness of letting you know that I was still alive, I effectively made my previously-private-and-super-exclusive Discord chat server public - in the hopes of trying a different approach to bring shape to conversations I hope to continue to have with people like you. So, you can join the chat room, too!
Oh, I did another crazy thing the other day as well:
Okay, that's enough crazy for one week. Or is it?
Yours Digitally,
Chris Pirillo

Pumpkin Pie Pots De Creme
Testimony of the Day
Photo Testimony: "I just want to thank you for everything. I purchased your book Keto Adapted and it changed my life. I was doing low carb years prior to beginning a ketogenic diet and stalled out on losing weight shortly after. It wasn't until I read your book that it all made sense. I lost over 20 pounds since January! Though my weight hasn't been dropping quickly, I am less than 10 pounds away from my goal weight! I was 283 at my heaviest and 150 at my lowest. I am happy to report I now weigh 143!
On this journey, I learned that weight loss is a journey and not always linear. I am also learning to love and accept the body I have, even though some days it's difficult. Weight loss is only half the battle; the other half is learning to accept any physical flaws in appearance that were caused by the weight loss. I am now proud of the body I have and have you to thank for that.
Here are three photos. The first one was before I went low carb and was over 200 lbs. The second one was when I was eating low carb and lost weight, though stalled out around between 160-170 lbs. The last one is recent, where I now weigh 143. I have less than 10 lbs to go, so I will send a new photo once I finally hit my goal! :-)" – Allie

I'm going to make this real simple. Obamacare has nothing whatsoever to do with health care. Nothing. None. Nada. Naught. Zip. Zero. Zilch. Nope. Nothing.
Obamacare is about selling the tax-paying public a mandatory health insurance package. That costs you money. As if they are not already getting enough of your tax money and abusing the privilege of using our money.
AND if you don't buy the mandatory health insurance or prove you have other health insurance, you pay a penalty. AND you are only required to buy it if you can't afford to buy any other more expensive insurance package. AND it's not even full coverage. Besides paying premiums for the insurance there are still out of pocket expenses beyond the initial premiums, like deductibles and co-pays.
Let me get this straight. You don't have a job. Your unemployment insurance has been cut off. You can't afford to buy health insurance, because you are struggling to keep a roof over your head, the utilities on, food in your household for your family, and gas in your car in case you get a job interview. Contrary to popular belief you don't have cable or drive a Cadillac. Or you aren't employed by an employer who provides some semblance of health insurance. So you have to buy the government's health insurance package or the government will charge you a violation fee for not providing proof of health insurance. Except you have neither the money to buy the insurance package nor to pay the penalty for not being able to buy the insurance package.
Oh, and the people who made these rules don't have to participate. The legislators who made these rules have full coverage you are paying for with your tax dollars, but these same legislators don't want to share those tax dollars to pay for your health care. They want more of your money in an insurance scam called mandatory health insurance.
Health insurance is not health care. Health insurance does not insure quality health care. Health insurance insures packaging people up into little boxes and if you don't fit into one of the little insurance code boxes, you don't get high quality health care. Health insurance insures Big Pharmaceutical and Big Medicine and Big Agriculture and Big Insurance and Big Government will get more of your money.
I'm just checking here. IS THIS STILL THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA?
Legislators the citizenry vote into office make rules that don't apply to them? Oh, right, those legislators can afford to buy private premium health care even if their health care wasn't fully covered by your tax dollars. They make such a high salary from your tax dollars they can pay cash out of pocket full price for medical services and never even feel a dent in their financial budget. But they don't have to pay out of pocket because they get tax-paid health care. Legislators don't have to worry about future health care either because after serving two terms they get to collect their legislative salary FOR LIFE after they leave office. I'm in the wrong business because my job doesn't work like that. Not to mention I get paid WAY less.
To be fair, I have actually heard of 1 (one) person who is getting health care through this new scam with no out of pocket expenses. He is currently not an Oregonian, he is unemployed, his wife is working on a doctorate (read: no income), and I have no real idea how he accomplished such a feat. But I am glad somebody who needs it is actually getting HEALTH CARE from the program.
Here in Oregon our powers that be have spent more than 200 million dollars getting the on-line system set up without signing up one person on-line. Again, to be fair, they have filed a few hand-written applications. But not one penny of this 200 million dollars has been spent on actual health care for a person or persons. 200 million dollars spent on administrative costs of setting up the program without one person getting medical treatment of any kind.
I'm just checking one more time. Is this America? If we are the land of the free and the brave, then we are freely being ripped off by our own government and bravely trying to hold up our heads while being taken to the cleaners.
What's missing? Where's our compassion for ourselves and each other? Where's the care part of health CARE? If this health insurance sham is any indication, the people we pay to organize us into a cohesive community, the legislators who provide a government for us, don't care. Legislators don't have to. They have theirs, paid by our tax dollars. They have no concept of what it's like to live with less than they have. I doubt they even believe we exist. Us unwashed poverty ridden rabble rousing masses begging for health care because we don't have sense enough to earn enough or manage what little income we have well enough to house and feed and care for ourselves.
I am fortunate. In the last few years, I've had health insurance through my employer, and while it isn't 100%, it is nice not to have to pay everything out of my pocket. And what would be wrong with that? None of my grandparents ever had health insurance, and they lived, birthed children and raised them, and died just fine without health insurance. Many years I didn't use doctors because I couldn't pay them. Again, I was fortunate with fairly good health.
Not everyone is fortunate enough to enjoy fairly good health. If you haven't had proper food and water so your brain and body chemistry can develop properly, and you haven't had the security of a home so you can refresh and get clean and get proper sleep, your thought processes and physical body will sooner or later not work right. The more you have poor choices, the more you make poor choices; poverty affects those choices, but poverty is not a choice. That's what you learn. And since we are talking bio-chemical bodies here, there is the genetic memory element to consider as well.
So, Kas, you're just being sassy. You're cranky because you see the truth and you label it for the scam it is. Nothing can be done to change health care in America or make it better.
But wait. NOTHING? Maybe. Perhaps. What if? Who says we can't? Mom used to say "Can't never did nothing". Count them, that's a triple negative. What she meant was don't say "can't" before you try your best. When I was raising my son I changed it a bit to "Can't needs to try harder". Sounded more positive to me.
What if we cut out the middle man? By middle man I mean the medical insurance companies who make a muddle of true medicine with their over-written rules, overwhelming language, and form after form full of little boxes your illnesses or injuries may or may not fit into.
What if we changed the whole game plan? Throw the bath water out and keep the baby. Media has made Americans afraid of new taxes, afraid of government interference, afraid of any program that smacks in any way of socialism (What is socialism anyway? A word).
I want to simplify everything.
What is needed? Health care for every man, woman, and child in the United States regardless of race, religion, age, size, pre-existing conditions, or ability to pay. I'm tempted to say citizenship, as well, but could we run this United States without the undocumented people who do the dirtiest farm work for us? You know, those jobs most Americans will not stoop to doing even if it means going hungry. And other counties who have nationalized medicine serve Americans when we need medical service in their countries, so that calls for reciprocity. So all inclusive, then: any person in America who walks into any medical facility needing health service of any kind gets said health service. And since we are being inclusive these services need to encompass eye care, dental care, and all specialists who might be required.
Do we have that now? No.
How do we pay for the system we have now that doesn't work? Tax dollars.
Who do we pay with those tax dollars now? Insurance companies, and subsidizing pharmaceutical and agricultural companies, and government sponsored, finding-biased research.
Who needs to be paid to provide health care services? Doctors, nurses, hospitals, medical labs and facilities. All the people who do the actual doctoring and nursing and hospicing and the places where actual health care takes place, and maintaining those facilities, producing new doctors and nurse to replace those who age out, and keeping doctors current on medical knowledge.
So. Here's my proposal for a new medical service paradigm in the United States of America. We dump the insurance companies. Take them entirely out of the picture. They are reaping huge profits based upon a bet against a risk and citizens are not getting the health care they need. We also stop subsidizing pharmaceutical companies. If companies want to produce new drugs let them do it at their own expense, on speculation like any other company developing a new product, even while being held to a high independent testing standard before marketing.
We'll put medicine back in the hands of doctors, who know medicine, and do medicine.
Then we take all that tax money that's already being collected and give it instead to doctors and nurses and hospitals and medical labs and all the other services available in the medical industry and give them an annual amount equaling a comfortable living wage. If certain individuals want to earn more they could take more work hours, or different specialties, or what all to increase their income. Lots of options could be created there.
Wait, you say. That sounds like socialism. Or, gasp, communism. No. Get off that. You pay your tax dollars now anyway and look at the crap they serve up to us average guys who don't get paid a salary for life like legislators do after they leave their jobs. Better our tax dollars pay the medical personnel and facilities who provide the services, instead of filtering the money through insurance companies who make a stinking pile of interfering paperwork and render true health care a travesty in what is supposedly the most advanced country in the world.
Am I concerned to suggest eliminating the entire medical insurance industry? Not one whit. There will be plenty of jobs getting all that tax money where it needs to go for the people currently employed in the medical insurance industry. That's right, we'll give them government jobs handling tax money. There will be new openings in the health care field also.
Medical insurance is weird anyway. You, or you and your employer, pay a monthly premium. You pay a co-pay. You pay a deductible. You pay a prescription co-pay. You pay for over-the-counter pain relief, cold medicine, and eyedrops. You pay, you pay, you pay.
Doctors set a price a service is worth. Insurance sets a price they think the doctor's service is worth. The insurance amount is always lower than the doctor's amount, so the doctor has to raise his fee so he can get paid enough to justify and/or pay off his or her education. Around again it goes and guess who pays the difference? You.
I don't care what you want to call it. Call it socialism. Call it communism. Call it nothing. Call it real health care for real people. Call it nationalized medicine. Call it effective use of tax dollars rather than obvious disgusting waste we see at nearly every level. I don't care if you still call it insurance as long as every man, woman, and child in this United States can enter any health care facility at anytime regardless of ability to pay or any other factor and receive health care. And yes, it might end up costing a little more taxes. I read one calculation at a raise of 1 (one) percent. Would I pay 1 (one) percent more income tax to know that any person in America including every member of my family and anybody in my care would be provided with health care when needed? You bet I would.
But do not call it taking care of slackers. If us poor folks down here could do different we would. Poor people have fewer choices and fewer ways to effect changes. With more than fifty percent of Americans living below the poverty level more people than ever before in the history of the United States are learning what it's like to not have a roof or food or good health. Nobody chooses to be poor.
So, I'm just checking one more time, again. Is this America? Is this how we want our tax money spent, dispensing insurance programs that don't dispense health care?
Most average Americans would not choose to have tax dollars mis-spent, and many more would like to have a say in how our tax money is spent. I don't know how to subvert this insurance scam, but I can call it what it is. I can suggest an alternative world and ways to use our tax money, but I can't effect the change. Perhaps my words can find the people who can effectively eliminate this vast insurance rip-off and start providing true health care for Americans. If we always do it the same way, we will always get the same results. The same results aren't working. The new proposition commonly called Obamacare is very expensively not working. We have to be willing to risk a change in the status quo to provide honest, quality, individual health care for Americans.

Reading: Mark 1: 21-28
Verse 27: "What is this? A new teaching – and with authority!"
The people who have been listening to Jesus talk are amazed by both His insights and by the authority with which He teaches. They asked one another, "What is this? A new teaching – and with authority"! Jesus is revealing the scriptures perhaps in a new way, but He is teaching from an old source. We do not know what scroll Jesus is teaching from, but even if it was the newest it is at least 400 years old!
Have you ever read a passage of scripture that you thought you knew fairly well only to discover something fresh or unnoticed jumping out at you? I often wonder how I missed that the last time I read the passage. Have you ever sat down on Sunday, heard a familiar passage read, thought 'here we go again', and then had the pastor apply it in a whole new way? Once in a while it even feels like he or she is preaching just to you. Have you ever done your small group homework, come to class feeling confident in your preparations, and then been amazed by someone else's different but spot-on insights? Yes, indeed, the Word of God is alive and, therefore, it often feels new to us in amazing ways.
Yet at its core, the message of the Bible does not change. The Bible is God's ongoing love story with generation after generation of sinful and often disobedient children. It seems that no matter what we do, God's love for us remains steadfast and true. As Jesus enters the story, we gain a fuller understanding of God's love. In Jesus, we see what God's love looks like lived out between us. Jesus gives us the model to follow. At the conclusion of Jesus' earthly time, we see what the ultimate gift of love looks like as Jesus dies for you and me. It was Jesus' final act of love and service. Through the grave defeated the power of sin and death and made a way for us all to inherit eternal life.
While the Word can be new to us every time we delve in, these core truths remain the same. Our faith foundation will always rest upon God's love. Yet we are still blessed to experience that love in new ways every day. Thanks be to God for new but unchanging living Word.

A charming man certainly knows he will be given a lot of attention, now it is very simple to put on extra charm and get the appreciation you derive. All you really need is the extremely graceful and great looking Timex Men's T54281 "Ironman Sleek" Sport Watch.
With this time piece by you side you will get a lot of compliments. It is distinctive and very unique. It is a very sporty watch with diamond cut-outs on band and logo detail at top of dial. Now tall this is certainly going to make you look exclusive and charming.
This extremely trendy watch has quartz running its machinery. Quartz technology is being used from a very long time and it has proven to be extremely reliable and at the same time it has risen to be the technology that is being used by most of the watch makers in the world.
The oscillator that ha quartz watch has is the major component that helps in its functioning.A quartz watch is one that measures time by means of a paper-thin piece of synthetic quartz.
The quartz vibrates very quickly in response to an electric charge; it is these vibrations that enable the watch to keep time.Quartz is an ideal material to use as an oscillator.
First of all, it loses very little energy as it vibrates, so the vibrations are extremely steady. Secondly, it exhibits what scientists call the "piezoelectric effect," meaning that it vibrates in response to an electric charge and, conversely, generates voltage when it vibrates. This quality is central to the way a quartz watch operates.
The quartz oscillator receives an electrical charge from an integrated circuit, which gets its power from the watch.
Terrific dial
The dial has a great diamond shape and is grey in color. The dial has a very edgy and young and looks spectacular. It is the kind of dial that catches attention instantly.
It is not just great looking but is also loaded with feature,features like 100-hour chronograph with lap and split times, 99-lap counter and 100-hour countdown timer with stop and repeat.

LAFC forward Carlos Vela has been voted MLS MVP, the league announced on Monday.
The honor caps off an outstanding season for Vela, who broke single-season records for goals with 34 as well as combined goals and assists with 49. Vela had 14 goals and 13 assists in 2018, his first in MLS after arriving from La Liga side Real Sociedad.
"For me, it's just a reward for all the effort and all the work," said Vela, the first Mexican player to win MLS' MVP award.
"My teammates are an important part to get this trophy, because they make my work easy," Vela added. "I come every morning to training, and I'm happy because I see my friends. When you work in a place like that, it's just easy. It was easy for me to get all the goals and wins with this team, so for that I say thank you. Sometimes you make more work than me, but in the end I get the credit, so I appreciate that."
His production -- he scored in 25 of his 31 appearances -- helped LAFC claim the Supporters' Shield with a league-record 72 points, though the Black and Gold fell short of their ultimate goal, losing in the Western Conference finals to the Seattle Sounders 3-1.
🗣 ¡El Mejor!@LAFC's @11carlosV is the 2019 Landon Donovan #MLSMVP! pic.twitter.com/1kQsi1PM6L— Major League Soccer (@MLS) November 4, 2019
"This trophy just makes me more hungry," Vela said while holding his MVP award. "The next step is to be champion. I will work really hard to get that trophy for my team, for my club. This one is just OK. I want the bigger one."
The Mexico international's 1.10 goals-per-game average ranks first in MLS history among players with at least 15 goals in a single campaign. He also reached the 20-goal mark in 20 games, which is faster than any other player.
Vela easily outdistanced the competition, garnering 69% of the vote over runner-up Zlatan Ibrahimovic of the LA Galaxy.
Ibrahimovic enjoyed a spectacular season of his own with 30 regular-season goals, but garnered just 14% of the vote. Atlanta United's Josef Martinez, the 2018 MVP, was third.
Information from The Associated Press and Reuters was used in this report.

ThrillWriters and ThrillReaders, let me introduce Allyson Lindt .
Allyson, today we're going to chat modern fantasy - geeks and office workers. Can you start by telling readers what you write?
Allyson -
On the urban fantasy side of things, I like exploring different mythologies, and creating worlds and stories where old magic mingles with modern day (or near future) technology. IE - angels and demons monitoring humanity through their web browsing habits. Or in my Empires of Shadow and Ash boxed set book, Greek gods who have returned to be worshipped, and use modern technology to communicate with and track people (apparently I've taken 'big brother is watching' literally more than once, lol)
Fiona -
Today, we are talking about how you are finding an interesting new intersection between the mythological world and the modern day world we are living in. As you were developing this concept, what were some of the things you needed to work through in your own mind to make this work?
Allyson -
My initial idea was "What if a Dungeons and Dragons monsters spawned in our modern day world... then what?" It was the "then what?" that became the rabbit hole.
I had to figure out why it happened, and once it happened, how did it impact our society? Would they get rid of technology, or let us keep it to keep us happy? Or better, would they use it to reach places their magic couldn't take them?
I liked the last answer, because no creature has unlimited power. I'm also considering where their limitations are, what use this has to them, and how it all blends together, but stays separate (IE the tech isn't driven by their magic, it's its own kind of power)
Fiona -
I wrote an article a few months ago about the gadgets that you can get that are Bond-like in nature. They were so crazy that they were made up ideas that writers came up with. Now, they don't seem crazy at all. Can you imagine what James Bond would do with the phones we all have in our pockets?
What was your characters learning curve like and do they use the technology in a different way than we do?
Allyson -
Our cellphones do so many things now. James Bond wouldn't need half of his gadgets.
For my characters, it depends on the individual. Actaeon is a hero (of the classic Greek variety). He's been living among humanity for three-thousand years, so he's watched technology grow and change. There are some things he adapted to quickly and willingly--indoor plumbing is a favorite of his. (Fiona inserts - to be fair, indoor plumbing is a favorite of mine, as well.)There are other things he's never seen the use for. Cellphones are on the list. Anything that keeps track of where an individual is, or their habits. So he's not a fan of social media either. He'd rather speak with people in person, or write a letter.
Lexi was born into the world as it is now, but her father was alive before the Gods returned, so he taught her some of the differences between then and now. She still has a hard time wrapping her brain around it, though. She has similar reservations about online tech--she can't imagine living in a world where people were comfortable checking in or announcing their location to the Internet, the way we do today. She listens to mp3's on an old player with no network connectivity, and she reads a lot of paperbacks.
For the gods, those who had trouble adapting, hired humans to do the work for them. There's always a follower willing to keep up with trends, so the gods don't have to. They say "make my message heard to millions" and it happens. To most of them, it's a magic they don't care to possess.
It's interesting that your gods are concerned with being tracked. That seems to be a sensitive subject. Who do they think is after them, and do these people have the skill sets to succeed in tracking the gods down?
Piggy backing on that question, are there aspects of modern culture - paypal and banking on line for example that they refuse to do but that causes them issues or calls attention to them. In other words, does this make the gods look suspicious in any way?
Allyson - It's not that the gods are worried about being tracked. The gods have returned, because they want the glory that goes with worship. They want people to know they're there. Lexi and Actaeon are concerned with being tracked, because they don't want the gods keeping an eye on them.
A hero is the one being capable of defeating a god. So most of them have been killed, sworn loyalty to the gods, or stay off the radar so they're not a threat. The gods have people with those tracking skills, keeping track of so many things. CC Cameras that notify them if someone they're watching is in their city, things like that.
Currency is a difficult issue for someone being tracked, because so much of it is digital. If you have money, it's not usually tangible. But there are still "untraceable" (or difficult to trace) currencies. A more secure version of bitcoin, or crypto currency
Fiona -
What challenges have you faced while writing about technology - are you concerned that technology will change at a rate that will date your books?
Allyson -
That is a challenge. I keep an close eye on technology (though not as close as some), and I try and have an idea of the direction it's heading. But I have one book that the technology has already gone in a different direction than the future I created.
I try not to get too detailed as I delve into the technology. Like with the show Black Mirror, I want to represent a world where it's plausible that it could happen, based on what we already have today, but I try and keep it vague enough that it's not dated five or ten years down the line.
It doesn't always work, but it's what I hope for.
Fiona -
I want to touch on a game you mentioned - one of your characters played Halo?
Do you use gaming for inspiration? Where do you find your inspiration?
Allyson -
You're remembering that, but it wasn't for an Urban Fantasy novel. A lot of my contemporary romance characters have the same geeky tendencies I do, and since I picture my contemporary romance as taking place now, I don't worry so much about the books dating themselves.
Gaming isn't so much an inspiration, but social media and modern marketing are. I work with information in my day job, and I'm fascinated with the way it's collected and then used to sell to us. People talk about government watching our every move, but we broadcast so much about ourselves in our social interactions, and that's always been a fascinating thing to me.
American Gods is a huge influence in my urban fantasy writing. I love the idea that power waxes and wanes for a god based on how much faith people have in them.
And in American Gods, the old gods and faith are being replaced with the new gods of technology.
But I wanted to examine it from a different angle, and say if the old gods used that tech willingly, how could they reach new believers. How could they revive that faith?
Fiona -
At ThrillWriting we always ask - if you would feel comfortable - our interviewees to tell us the story behind your favorite scar or a harrowing event you survived would you indulge us?
Allyson -
My deepest physical scars aren't big. I have some from chicken pox when I was ten or eleven. I have a couple from when I worked in a picture frame shop. I cut myself on the glass a few times. My most harrowing events would be emotional ones.
Which might be part of the reason I'm so fascinated with the way we react to the world around us.
When I was twenty, I met a guy at work. At the time, I hadn't had a lot of experience dating, so when we "fell in love" I was certain it was the real deal. We were engaged after a couple of weeks, married a month after that, and separated less than six months later.
But it was an expensive lesson to learn. Emotionally and financially. An experience like that teaches a person a lot about themselves.
There's so much "was it me?" "Was I wrong?" "Where did I screw up?" and it takes a while to come back to realize, sometimes these things just happen
Fiona -
I bet that's fed your writing ever since.
Allyson -
It really has.
Those ups and downs that come between the doubt and the revelations are a big part of the story telling I do. The core of a lot of my stories is self-acceptance.

"In the new economy, computer science isn't optional; it's a basic skill, along with the 3 R's."
This statement came from President Barack Obama at the White House Science Fair on April 13th, 2016, where he spoke about his "Computer Science for All" initiative, which plans to bring computer science (CS) to every American student, from kindergarten through high school.
President Obama insists that all students––no matter where they're from, what their background is, or their family income––"will get access to hands-on science technology, engineering, and math education to set them up for success, and keep the nation competitive in the 21st century."
He is particularly interested in getting around the structural biases that the country faces today, which means getting more young women and minorities involved in technology, to help them develop the skills they need to be innovators, creators, and leaders in our modern digital economy.
Obama followed up by explaining that the United States Government is issuing new guidance for the school districts so that they can better support computer science education, including the fact that Oracle will invest into getting 125,000 more students into computer science classes.
Other efforts are being made across the country as well–more than 500 schools in the nation are committed to expanding access to computer science.
Oracle is proud to support the President's CS for All initiative; in fact, Oracle has been supporting computing education since 1993, and training teachers to teach computer science in their classrooms for more than a decade through Oracle Academy.
Oracle Academy and Oracle Certification offer Foundations Certifications, which focus on students in secondary schools, two-year colleges and four year colleges and universities who have participated in the Oracle Academy program and/or are studying computer science–and faculty members who teach foundational computer science classes.
Oracle University also offers training and certification to support professionals with experience looking to advance their career and skills. Learn more at education.oracle.com.
With help from programs such as the ones offered by Oracle Academy and Oracle University, and through President Obama's initiative, all students across the country will have the opportunity to learn computer science as part of their academic pathway, and become the next leaders in technology.

Nowadays, almost everyone has an internet connection available inside their homes. And in a fact, if you are a part of a certain business, probably you are aware that in the most situations, this is the target group that should be reach when you are in need of selling a certain product, or if you are offering a particular service. This means that nowadays, almost every business owner should focus more over advertising its company online. But also, this fact can be used a lot when it comes to making online purchase and deals, and not only when it is a matter of buying something when you are too lazy to go in the shopping center.
The perks of digitalizing your business
The business owners which are aware about this are using the computer technology in order to make a certain improvement within their team without the need of employing more people to be in charge over it. And when it comes to the field of selling certain insurances, people have already made a very easy solution which can make your life easier, and it called an insurance software. Just as any software, it is made in order to collect a certain data, give you particular information over a certain analysis, or simply help you manage the things out without the need of inserting the numbers manually. And also, this solution comes with a second advantage too, and it is linked with the process of creating a certain insurance policy. This means that by finding a professional software insurance provider, you will be able to save yourself from additional costs or save your employee's time and let them invest it into something which will help you improve your business by using their smart ideas. And if you are interested into this idea, you can take a look at this list of best insurance software solutions. Along this article we will help you find a good company that can provide you a good software insurance, and give you more information which can be very useful to you if you are willing to invest into a solution such as this one.
The software will save you time and money
When it comes to implementing a certain solution which will help you digitalize your business, the truth is that every investment can't be a bad decision. By finding a software such as this one, you will be able to use people's knowledge in order to come up with new ideas and solution, because when it comes to the technical part of the job, we are all aware that it doesn't requires a lot of knowledge. On the opposite of that, once the people which are a part of your team are smart and skilled enough, you will be able to use their ideas and make your business grow, instead of keeping them work over data entry in the excel sheets. And of course, keep in mind that besides this, it is a job which requires a lot of focus, which means that if there is any error inserted inside the table, the whole data won't make any sense. But when deciding to install a software which will be in charge for the numbers, you will be completely sure that the chances for a mistake such as this one are close to zero.
How to find a software insurance provider?
In order to find a software which will serve you as a great solution you must keep in mind that you can't just simply purchase the first program which will pop into your search feed. First of all, you must seek for a quality solution, and after that contact the provider and check for more information if you are having any additional question over the performance and the services which are provided when purchasing a software such as this one. But keep in mind that in most cases, all the information is available along the webpage, such as the explanation written on www.schemeserve.com. This page can serve you as a good example and a starting point, because you should aim towards a provider that can give you enough information over the service and their experience.

After many hot sunny days this spring, we have encountered rain today. And boy, has it rained! It began at 6:00 am this morning, and has rarely let up all day. Don't get me wrong. We need the rain. We need it desperately. Our local lake is over 9 feet below full pool. Designated swimming areas are high and dry, boat ramps have limited access, and "islands" are appearing causing potential hazards for boats.
Having said all of that, why did the rain have to hit this week? You see, I got a call on Friday from the Augusta Chronicle (our local paper), they want to write an article on our upcoming trip to Central America. Of course we are thrilled. After coordinating everyone's schedules, it was determined that we would meet the photographer at the Savannah River on Monday at 3 pm with our expedition vehicles. This was the only day that coincided with everyone's schedule.
The reporter is out of town until the following Tuesday, and Bernard and his daughter, Kristen are headed to Germany this Tuesday. So, Monday it is! Well, the rain chances for Monday are over 75%. Maybe we can get down there, get the photos in, and packed up between rain drops. We are setting up the vehicles, including the roof top tents, for the shoot. It is not wise to close the tents up when they are wet. Mold tends to be your worst enemy in this situation. With rain in the forecast for the next week, there would be no possibility of drying the tents out.
However, this is very exciting for us, as it will give the local community awareness of our upcoming trip. So, we will adapt and prevail. This will be an opportunity to allow individuals to follow our trip from start to finish, meeting the people we encounter, seeing the charities that are offering a helping hand to the needy, and experiencing the beautiful sights, we plan to share.
Tomorrow morning, Bernard and I will be performing some last minute preparations to his 1994 Toyota Land Cruiser. We plan to begin building the rear platform storage, replace the valve cover gasket, and a few other maintenance items. I have a few things yet to do to the Land Rover also. Hopefully we can find a dry place to work on the vehicles, as they no longer fit in the garage, with their suspension lifts and roof racks.
Keep an eye out for the upcoming article that will be in the Augusta Chronicle. We will share the link when we receive it as well. Has rain ever put a damper on any of your planned activities? Please share……

Welcome to our Mortgage Rates Payment Calculator UK Site, we hope you find the tools helpful, if you have any queries about the mortgage tools or the site in general please let us know here Queries about Mortgage Rates Payment Calculator UK
Mortgage article 12:Mortgage Market is Focused on Customers and Costs, Research Reveals; page 2
the development of new mortgage products by both new players and established lenders to target specific groups of customers;
growing use of specialist firms to administer mortgages to avoid the need for expensive systems upgrades at a time of competing demands for investment in initiatives to acquire and retain customers; and
the growth of securitisation, or the issuing of mortgage-back securities, as a means of managing balance sheets and using capital more effectively.
Commenting on the research, the CML's Deputy Director General Peter Williams said:
"Intense competition, greater use of technology, growing customer sophistication and changing work and lifestyle patterns will fuel further structural change in the UK mortgage market in the coming years. Developments like the possibility of the UK joining the euro and Basel II Capital Accord will also affect the structure of the market.
"Statutory regulation will also have a profound effect, particularly on the distribution of mortgages through intermediaries. The research identifies a highly innovative industry, focused on driving down costs and delivering value for consumers. It is essential that statutory regulation is proportionate and does not choke off the sort of innovation that benefits the industry and its customers." End of article - Back to mortgage articles list

It's ep 19, and I'm feelin' fine. Why? Because my friends bought me the Daimajin Kanon Blu-Ray set! The set contains the first nine episodes, the soundtrack, and an enormous photo-booklet full of concept art and interviews with staff and cast.
Will I translate the interviews and post them here? Maybe!
As for the episode itself, I've got no translator notes or rambles on this episode this time. Enjoy the soulful Kanon goodness!
NARRATION: This is the story of a girl who wished to have faith in people, then used her singing voice to summon a miracle. A 21st century fable.
[Opening song]
Someone tells you
Lies like they're true
Someone betrays you
To hide their weakness
In the never-ending flow of tears
A reason for living will show itself
Got to live your life
Believin' in these evil times
Sing your heart out
When you feel the love
A song that reflects you
As far as your voice can carry...
Let it ring!
Sing your heart out
When you feel the love
It will surely reach
The hearts of all, some day...
Forces harmonize
You will find the prize
Just sing your heart out
NARRATOR: Kanon sang the Prayer Song, and Bujin unexpectedly awakened. But he rejected the song, and in the end, returned to his slumber.
NARRATOR: Meanwhile, Kanon learned that Kotaro has been trying to manipulate her classmate, Kaname. She enlisted Tomosuke to help her learn more about Kaname, but nothing could have prepared her for the truth of Kaname's past.

419: I can't believe it
No one believes me.
Not even the guy I love.
418: I don't want to go home
The bastard hit me again.
Said he didn't like the way I was looking at him
Mom's gonna be late again today
I don't want to go home.
417: In the end
All people are selfish.
TITLE: Tragic Warmth
TAIHEI: Hey Bujin! You up? I got somethin' to talk with you about!
TAIHEI: What is it in the song you don't like!? What partis a lie!?
TAIHEI: Kanon's been through a lot of hard stuff! She's been hurt! But she can't turn to stone, so she's out there, doing the best she can!
TAIHEI: At least tell us what part of it is a lie!
TAIHEI: Bujin!!
OTAKI: Has her life really been that hard?
KANON: Yes. Right after she was born, her father left her family for another woman... and after that, her new step-father started knocking her around. But... her mother doesn't stand up for her at all.
IKECHIYO: That really is awful.
KANON: Her mother moves whenever she feels like it, so she didn't have any friends up to middle school... her blog gave the impression of someone who feels totally unwanted.
KANON: When she got to high school, she got some popularity, based on her appearance...
IKECHIYO: But things still didn't work out, did they?
KANON: She still couldn't trust anyone from the bottom of her heart. She's always erasing friends' addresses from her cell phone. It's like she just can't maintain relationships for long.
OTAKI: I imagine she's afraid of being abandoned.
KANON: Maybe it's too much for me to deal with, after all.
OTAKI: You shouldn't try to carry more than you can hold. Maybe you shouldn't get involved with her. She's tricked you before, after all.
IKECHIYO: At any rate, you'll want to do some thinking about it. Right?
KANON: What a beautiful moon...
KANON: At times like this, I wonder what Taihei would say.
TAIHEI: What's this about me?
KANON: Taihei?
TAIHEI: Hey, Kanon. What's up?
KANON: A lot of things, really...
TAIHEI: We can talk about it, if you want.
KANON: It's kind of a long story.
TAIHEI: No worries. The night is young.
TAIHEI: Hey, Kanon? What's wrong?
KANON: Taihei... can I ask you something?
TAIHEI: Um... sure, anything.
KANON: You remember Mr. Moriya?
TAIHEI: Oh yeah, Mori?
KANON: Yeah, the man who broke his promise to you.
TAIHEI: What happened to the Mori that wrote that song?!
MORIYA: That was just a song. It has nothing to do with reality.
KANON: If you happened to run into him again somewhere, and he seemed to be in trouble... what would you do?
TAIHEI: Hmm? Kanon, don't forget that I'm an Onbake. If he needed me, I'd help him. There's nothing else I could do.
KANON: You'd still trust him, after what he did to you?
TAIHEI: Yeah, I would.
KANON: But why?
TAIHEI: Good question... because I want to love people, I guess.
KANON: Love... people?
TAIHEI: Yeah. No matter what happens, I want to love people.
KANON: That's true. Yes, that's right!
TAIHEI: Right?
KANON: Thank you, Taihei! That's why I love you, Taihei.
TAIHEI: Love me?
KANON: Never change, Taihei. Good night!
SHOTA: She loves you, Taihei.
SHOTA: Nice goin'.
HASHITAKA: No way!
TAIHEI: Hey, Jyuzo. What's Gonbei's involvement with this, exactly?
JYUZO: You saw Sawamori's ritual before, right? He'll be doing the same.
TAIHEI: You think he can contain the Ipadada inside him?
JYUZO: For an Ipadada that big, a great big guy like Gonbei is the only choice we have.
TAIHEI: But... if not even Sawamori could restrain it...
JYUZO: This Ipadada's power truly is great... but if Gonbei can exhaust it in battle, maybe it can be sealed.
JYUZO: Anyway, you take care of that Songstress. Okay?
TAIHEI: Roger that.
KANON: This is the seat where Fukatsu was sitting.
TOMOSUKE: Are you sure about this?
KANON: What?
TOMOSUKE: I mean, you're totally prepared to deal with her?
KANON: Don't worry. I talked to Taihei, and I want to try.
TOMOSUKE: Okay, I'll do my best!
TOMOSUKE: She's here! She's close!
KANON: Fukatsu... can we talk?
KANAME: I'm busy.
KANON: I heard Kotaro's trying to use you for something.
KANAME: What's that supposed to mean?
KANON: I just overheard it somewhere. Kotaro's trying to--
KANAME: Stop it. Kotaro cares about me. People just don't like me, so they're spreading bad rumors about me.
KANON: No, I'm just worried about you...
KANAME: I hate hypocrites like you.
KANON: Hypocrites?
KANAME: Don't trouble yourself any further.
KANON: Wait...
TOMOSUKE: It's on me. I think you'll like it.
KANON: Thanks...
KANON: Bottoms up...
KANON: It is good...
TOMOSUKE: I knew it!? Nice move, Tomosuke!
KANON: A hypocrite, huh?
TOMOSUKE: You're not a hypocrite, Kanon. That girl just wants to think you are.
TOMOSUKE: Humans are complicated. Someone changes because of someone else's actions. Someone else sees that, and they change too.
KANON: I have to go somewhere.
TOMOSUKE: Where?
KANON: I have to talk to Kotaro.
TOMOSUKE: Why?
KANON: I'm going to tell him to leave Kaname alone.
TOMOSUKE: Taihei!
TAIHEI: Fancy meetin' you here!
TAIHEI: Hmm? Where's Kanon?
KANON: If he's not picking up at a time like this, he must be... there.
KOTARO: Kanon?
KANON: Hot milk, please.
BARTENDER: One moment.
KOTARO: You changed your mind about getting together?
KANON: I've come to stop you.
KOTARO: What?
KANON: Stop using Fukatsu to do your dirty work.
KOTARO: I don't know what you're talking about. Why do you care, anyway?
KANON: I don't want to see her in pain.
KOTARO: She seems happy enough when she's with me.
KANON: You're not even really dating her.
KOTARO: Then how about we hook up again? You're hot when you're aggressive like this.
KANON: Shut up.
KOTARO: So, you want to do it with me again?
KANON: I said, shut up.
KOTARO: I'd like to hear you sing it... 'To The Top.'
KOTARO: What are you doing!?
KANON: You ASSHOLE!
TAIHEI: Kanon!
KANON: Taihei?
TAIHEI: I was a little worried... Tomosuke helped me find you.
TOMOSUKE: Kanon?
TAIHEI: Oh, Buchinko?
TAIHEI: What? What's that!?
KANON: What's going on?
TOMOSUKE: He said Kotaro called Kaname. They've got an exchange going down tonight.
KANON: Really?
TAIHEI: Where are they going?
TAIHEI: Oh... Roppongi?
KANON: Where in Roppongi?
TOMOSUKE: Don't worry. I'll track her down.
TAIHEI: Kanon.
KANON: Are you meeting someone here?
KANAME: What do you want?
KANON: Fukatsu... you need to go home. The person you're meeting is up to no good.
KANAME: I don't know what you're talking about. Get out of here and leave me alone.
KANON: Kotaro told me himself. You can't trust him.
KANAME: I told you, go away!
KANON: You have to stop lying to yourself.
KANAME: What are you talking about?
KANON: You know something's wrong here, don't you? You want to refuse him, don't you?
KANAME: Don't be stupid!
KANON: But you're worried that he'll hate you if you don't pretend to trust him!
KANAME: Stop kidding yourself.
KANAME: What are you doing?
KANON: I read your blog. It was so sad.
KANAME: What? Seriously?
KANON: I understand what it's like, wanting to form a connection with someone. I've felt that way ever since I moved here from the country. That's why Kotaro could take advantage of me.
KANAME: Don't lump me in with you. I'm nothing like you.
KANON: That's not what's important!
KANAME: Do you always do this?
KANON: Do you feel warmer when I hold your hand?
KANAME: Not especially.
KANON: I see...
KANAME: Let go.
KANON: I just want to love people.
KANAME: You're an idiot.

IKECHIYO: So, they got him in the end.
OTAKI: Some people just don't change. Maybe this is for the best.
TOMOSUKE: Kanon says she hasn't seen Kaname much since then.
TAIHEI: I have faith. I think Kanon got through to her, and changed her just a bit.
OTAKI: Then she just needs time, I suppose.
KANON: Thank you...
KANON: I guess the gap between us won't close overnight... I tried joining hands with her, but it didn't make us feel warmer the way it says in the Prayer Song.
KANON: But... if I keep trying to connect with her, I think something will change.
KANON: And that's okay! People won't always act the way it says in the Prayer Song. But that doesn't mean we should stop trying to join hands.
KANON: When I think about things like that, I feel a little stronger than before.
[Ending Song]
When I look up, I can still see stars
In the strip of sky between the buildings
Faintly, but I love them
Those little interwoven points of light
I'll send positive words for kindness in the future
And leave my sadness to the wind!
I'm walking home again today
'til I can walk to the place where he waits for me
I'm walking home with that song on my lips
Because I want to smile up at the blue skies
And so, I'm taking my time with my dreams
NARRATOR: Kanon thinks about how to help Baroku. Kiriha uses her techniques to rend a soul drone. And Buchinko reveals a secret about Bujin.

Police arrest man on suspicion of hitting woman repeatedly
COLUMBIA - Police arrested a man early Thursday after he allegedly drove drunk, punched a woman in the head and knocked her to the ground.
The woman told officers she picked up Jeffery Lemley, with whom she was in a relationship, from work at 3 a.m. Thursday, and that he was already upset due to an earlier incident. Lemley got into the driver's seat, despite being what the victim called "very intoxicated." The victim's sister and sister's boyfriend were also in the vehicle.
After Lemley backed into a pole, the sister asked to get out, but Lemley allegedly sped out of the parking lot and onto I-70. The victim asked him to stop several times so she and her sister could get out. When Lemley did pull over near the Providence Road exit, he allegedly hit the victim in the head several times.
As he did so, the sister and her boyfriend got out and ran away. The victim was able to get out later and started walking to a friend's house. Lemley caught up to her and the other two on Fir Place, and allegedly swerved the vehicle toward the group. He then got out and knocked the victim to the ground and punched her in the head again.
When someone said police were coming, Lemley left. Officers arrested him a short time later on Clark Lane.
Prosecutors charged Lemley on Thursday with three counts of kidnapping and one count of domestic assault.

In research published this week in Nature Energy, researchers at Kaneka Corp., a resin and plastics manufacturer based in Osaka, describe the first silicon solar cell to achieve a record-breaking 26.3 percent efficiency—a 0.7 percent increase over the previous record. That may not seem like a lot, but it's really a big step when you consider that silicon solar cells' theoretical maximum efficiency is just 29 percent.
Kaneka is a member of a project set up by the New Energy and industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO), a Japanese government entity established to help develop and promote new energy technologies.
In producing its new 180.43-square-centimeter monocrystalline silicon prototype cell, Kaneka further developed and improved on several of the technologies promo0ted by NEDO. Chief among them is Kaneka's proprietary heterojunction technology. It reduces recombination, or resistive loss, where instead of exiting the device to produce electricity, positive and negative charges in the solar cell combine and produce heat.
In addition, the company improved the energy-collection efficiency of the solar cell's interdigitated electrodes. But even more important, Kaneka moved the grid of electrodes from the front of the cell—the light-receiving area—to the back, boosting the amount of sunlight entering the cell, thereby reducing losses in the optics.
Panasonic, a member of the same NEDO project and holder of the previous energy-conversion-rate record of 25.6 percent for its 143.7-cm2 solar cell set in 2014, employed the same key features in its device, namely heterojunction with interdigitated back contacts (HJ-IBC).
"But there are many types of materials, manufacturing processes, and architectures that can be selected," says Kunta Yoshikawa, a member of the Kaneka research team that worked on the new solar cell. "We achieved 26.3 percent efficiency by developing our CVD (chemical vapor deposition) technology, optical management, and electrical-contact technology using thin-film silicon and our [heterojunction] technology."
