==Text from the Haran Gawaitha==
And Hibil-Ziwa hath delivered this saying and warning to Nasoraeans who exist at the end of the last age: "Beware, and again beware! Act only (in accordance) with this writing of the Great Revelation. The (Mandaean) Root (Church) shall be steadfast, shall testify, shall act and not neglect this pure warning, and (so) will ascend to the presence of the Father. (But) any man who doth not testify to this Way or lay hold of it, seeketh darkness and will fall. (O) ye Nasoraeans that shall exist at the end of the last age, I exhort you, be firm and act according to this book - its name is the Great Revelation. For at that time peoples, nations and tongues will multiply, and every individual will seek his own gain. And books and religious treatises of Ruha and Adonai ('s making) will be many, and through them souls will sink down to the Darkness". Thus, before the appearance of the Son-of-Slaughter, the Arab, the Christian, Idumaean, Jewish, Hurdabaean and Dilbilaean peoples became many. The peoples were divided and languages became numerous; even the languages of Nasoraeans multiplied. This; and then sovereignty was taken from the descendants of King Artabanus, and (they were driven) from Baghdad; the Hardbaeans (Sasanians) taking over the kingdom. (Nevertheless) there remained one hundred and seventy banners and bimandiaia in Baghdad.
And so a Hardabaean (Sasanian) dynasty ruled for three hun-dred and sixty years, and then the Son of Slaughter, the Arab, set up as king, went forth and took a people to himself and performed circumcision. (Even then), after this had happened and these events had taken place, sixty banners (still) remained and pertained to me in Baghdad. Then he took the sword and put to the sword from the city of Damascus unto Bit Dubar, which is called Bdin. He governed it all and ruled over the lord of the hill-country of the Persians who are called Hardbaeans and took away sovereignty from them.

He governed it all and ruled over the lord of the hill-country of the Persians who are called Hardbaeans and took away sovereignty from them.
Then, when this had taken place, in time there came (one) Anus', called the son of Danqa, from the uplands of the Arsaiia [from (to? ) the city of Baghdad bis'us' kings of the planting of Artabanus, and brought in his own, belonging to Muhammad son of 'Abdallah son-of-Slaughter, the Arab, when he was seven hundred years old] . And he took him from his city to Suf-Zaba which is called Basrah, and showed him the hill-country of the Persians (unto) the city of Baghdad. And Anus' (-'Uthra?) instructed the Son-of-Slaughter, as he had instructed Anus'-son-of Danqa, about this Book (compiled) by his fathers, upon which all kings of the Nasoraeans stood firm. And a list of kings is in this book, which teacheth (chronicleth) from Adam, king of the world, unto King Artabanus, (yea even) unto Anus'-son-of-Danqa, who were (all? ) of the Chosen Root. Then he told him about the king of the Ardubaiia (Sasanians); about all he sought to do and (of) his connection with the children of the great Nation of Life , in order that they (the Moslems) should not harm the Nasoraeans who lived in the era of his government . Thus did Anus'-son-of-Danqa explain and speak so that, through the power of the lofty King of Light - praised be his name! - it was not permitted to the Son-of-Slaughter, the Arab, to harm the congregation of souls, owing to the protection afforded by these explanations of the Great Revelation - praised be its name! And, concerning that which I found in these commentaries on the Great Revelation , I found not (its equal?) amongst all the treatises and mis'rria and miscellanies about the Great Life which were in libraries and in my possession. I went round to all the Nasoraean ris'-amia that there were; I saw many scripts, writings of research and manuscripts of the Great Revelation, but saw not the like of this well-established Source. For it is reliable, existing from ancient times and eternally, from the beginning of the eighth world unto worlds' end. (These are) writings which teach orthodox procedure, that are all clarity. Instruction about the beginnings of all light and the end of all darkness is found in these writings of the Great Revelation and not found in any other books. That which is taught in this book and Road of the Righteous hath been bestowed upon the righteous unto worlds' end; this Road of the Righteous hath been bestowed upon (every) son of the True Root, upon (every) son of the Pure Drop who, when listening to the words and teachings of this writing of the righteous, witnesseth publicly thereto, and his mind testifieth thereto and is enlightened. But when a foolish person heareth these trustworthy words his mind groweth dark and he doth not appreciate them, nor can (such a person) discern that they are pure sayings. And (their) colours die away from his mind like as a burgeoning plant (fadeth) and the root from which it appeared".
The Haran Gawaitha or Inner Haran is a Mandaean text written during the 7th to 9th century which purports to tell the history of the Mandaeans and their arrival in Iraq as Nasoreans from Jerusalem.[1] It contains some of the earliest non-Muslim references to Prophet Muhammad.
1 Text from the Haran Gawaitha
Text from the Haran Gawaitha
In the following excerpt, Muhammad is referred to as "the Son-of-Slaughter, the Arab", "the most degraded of false prophets", "the Seal of prophets of the Lie", who "converted people to himself by the sword".
I will tell you, (O ye ) priests who live in the Arab age, (of that which occurred) before the Son-of-Slaughter, the Arab, went out and prophesied as a prophet in the world so that they performed circumcision like Jews and changed sayings - for he is the most degraded of false prophets. Mars accompanieth him because he is the Seal of prophets of the Lie, (although) the Messiah will appear after him at the end of the age! I will inform you, Nasoraeans, that before the Son-of-Slaughter, the Arab, emerged and was called prophet in the world and Mars descended with him, he drew the sword and converted people to himself by the sword. About eighty-six years before the Son-of-Slaughter, the Arab, Adonai sent S'urbis'- Ruha who is his spouse, to the city of T'ib, called locally the City of As'ganda because of all that was done (during) his rule in Baghdad. (For) As'ganda (dwelt?) in T'ib; it was his native place; and it was called "the city of S'ganda" (also) because in it there were Nasoraeans and ris'amia (ethnarchs)". And there was one ris'ama called Qiqil.
And Adonai sent S'urbis'-Ruha into this world and said to her: "Go, appear to Qiqil of the Nasoraeans disguised as Hibil-Ziwa, so as to take his judgement away from him. And distort the words by which the structure of (their faith) is defined. When thou hast done this, the whole nation of the Nasoraeans will turn to us". And Ruha-S'urbis', wife of Adonai, went and dwelt upon (entered into) Qiqil of the Nasoraeans and disguised herself as Hibil-Ziwa - and there is none lovelier than Hibil-Ziwa whom the Soul acknowledge! And She taketh away the judgement of Qiqil and instructeth him and saith to him: "I, Hibil-Ziwa, have brought parch- ment and reed-pen, so write a Root of Life and a Saying and a Mystery, and disseminate (them) send (them) forth and act in accordance with them. For the Life hath sent me and I have come to thee".
Thereupon Qiqil brought parchment and reed-pen and wrote and distributed (doctrine emanating) from Ruha, whilst his understanding was reft from him. So schism ensued amongst the Nasoraeans and candidates for priesthood as result of those writings which he had written. Then She removed herself from his presence, and Qiqil's mind and understanding returned and he recanted his words and revoked phylaeteries (scrolls?) of her construction and that which had been taught to him by Ruha, yea, every writing that he had by him of those writings (dictated) by Ruha, he burnt in the fire. And he sent to the Nasoraeans and candidates for priest-hood (saying): "Bring the writings which I give (gave?) you; burn them with fire, for she (Ruha) deluded me when I knew not from whom she came". And he took away his writing from such Nasoraeans as practised the orthodox faith, and they gave it to him and he burnt it in the fire. But all those who were of the Root of the Jews did not bring it back nor give it to Qiqil, and some of those writings remained with them.
Hibil-Ziwa expounded these interpretations and revealed and declared: "Any Nasoraean man in whose library these explanations are found should beware lest he reveal in the presence of foolish persons (mysteries) penetrated and revealed by deeply thinking theologians; because he that revealeth anything that is weighty in this writing (book) in the presence of foolish and ill-conditioned 'uthras who would bring pure words into contempt, layeth up for himself sixty causes of stumbling and sixty sins . (But he that is silent before foolish persons concerning such interpretations) sixty offences and sixty sins shall be forgiven him and Abathur win grasp (his hand) in honourable kus'ta.
Then Hibil-Ziwa - praised be his name! - taught that every man who concealeth (the Great Revelation?) it but observeth it, when his measure is full he will rise up without sin and (moreover) will loose and take with him sixty (souls) who are bound. And he will rise up towards his fathers and his Father will take his hand in honourable kust'a and he will be acclaimed as one in a thousand like Abathur Rama. And he will behold the great Countenance of Glory and will take His hand in honourable kus'ta and will be set at the King's right hand. (For) he whose mind testifieth to these teachings about orthodox procedures belongeth to the portion of the lofty and great King of Light, and hell-beasts and purgatory demons have no power over him".
And then Hibil-Ziwa - praised be his name! - taught Nasoraeans about the end of the last age. For evil will increase and pollutions will be many and abound in the world, since it is decreed that wickedness will increase and pollutions multiply greatly in the world; because it is destined in that age. So that of a great shekel of gold but half-a-draehma's weight will rise up to the Light; everything will sink down into Darkness. In that period and epoch - from the rule of the Arab Son-of-Slaughter unto the end of the worlds - persecution and tribulation will increase for Nasoraeans; purity will decrease and pollutions, adultery, theft and fraud will increase.
And men will be polluted and during that period man will drink the blood of fellow-man. All that is fair (will disappear), (but), amongst Nasoraeans, he that is steadfast in and holdeth to these teachings and this great revelation will rise up by the path of believers and will behold the great Countenance of Glory. Hibil-Ziwa taught concerning this age - that is, the age of the Arab Law - that it must needs occupy its destined span, for the Law is constituted of four mysteries; part therein is (of) the Light, and part therein wholly Root of Darkness. And it endureth for (?) two kings. To it was imparted a kind of order. It is formed from four natural humours: the Root of Darkness is composed of and arrayed in blood, gall, (wind), and mucus.
(But) the habiliments of the soul are formed of mystery , light and the jordan; the soul is formed by proper observance of the three mysteries, by purification of the four natural humours is the soul's vestment formed . For this is the eighth world, and it will turn from this habiliment, this garment in which it dwelleth; it will not tarry therein.
(During) this Arab age every evil creature multiplieth like evil weeds that grow apace, and peoples, nations and languages disperse and become measureless and numberless, like the Darkness that came into being with abundance.[2]

Louis de Jong
Het Koninkrijk der Nederlanden in de Tweede wereldoorlog
Deel 1: Voorspel
No event shocked twentieth-century Dutch society so deeply as the German invasion on 10 May 1940. It put a sudden end to a long history of intransigent neutrality. The First World War had passed the Netherlands by, but the Second World War the country was entangled in until the German capitulation on 5 May 1945. The fate of the Kingdom of the Netherlands between 1940 and 1945 has been recorded by Lou de Jong, for many years director of the Netherlands State Institute for War Documentation, in a major work running to twelve volumes, which became an unprecedented bestseller.
Most of the volumes give a continuous account, virtually day-by-day, of how the Dutch people were affected by the German occupation. Only the volumes dealing with prisoners and deportees, and the government-in-exile in London and the Dutch East Indies are independent parts. The same is true of Volume I, Voorspel (Prelude), which presents the antecedents of the occupation in a broad panorama going back to the nineteenth century.
Anyone wishing to learn more about twentieth-century Dutch history before it was changed radically by outside intervention can do no better than turn to De Jong. With his compositional skill, his great narrative powers and thorough knowledge of the historical sources, he brings the past vividly to life. The First World War and its consequences, the abortive 1918 attempt at revolution, the typically Dutch phenomenon of verzuiling, denominational segregation, the economic crisis of 1929 and unemployment, the mutiny on the cruiser 'The Seven Provinces' which caused such great consternation in 1933 - all are included.
A large part of the book is devoted to an in-depth discussion of the protest by right-wing authoritarians against verzuiling and conservatism. The Netherlands had its native variety of fascism in Anton Mussert's nsb and a number of smaller parties, with leaders who modelled themselves on Mussolini or Hitler. The final chapters are devoted to the tense relations with Germany, to the state of the Dutch defences and to the frantic attempts by the Dutch government to maintain the country's traditional neutrality in the face of the increasing threat of war.
Despite his vast canvas, De Jong succeeds in keeping his story under strict control, without overlooking a host of colourful and characteristic details. In particular, his portraits of the historical protagonists, big and small, are impressive. A case in point is his portrait of Martinus van der Lubbe, the Dutch worker who is alleged to have set fire to the Reichstag in 1933 as a protest against the Nazi regime - Hitler's excuse for settling scores with his Communist opponents in parliament. For De Jong, historiography is not about isolated structures and great outlines, but always the story of the people who actually make history.
The State Institute for War Documentation has made a selection of five chapters from Het Koninkrijk der Nederlanden in de Tweede Wereldoorlog on the Japanese occupation of the Dutch East Indies from 1942-1945. No subject covered by De Jong's work has aroused so much controversy, both among general readers and also among historians. No reliable English studies of the fate of Dutch and East-Indian Dutch people during the Japanese occupation have been published to date.
Louis de Jong (b. 1914) is a historian who worked in London during the Second World War for Radio Orange, which broadcast regularly to the occupied Netherlands. In 1945, he was appointed director of the newly established Netherlands State Institute for War Documentation. Having gained national fame…

Perhaps it is not the destination that I need to focus on for a change. Perhaps I should just enjoy the journey and find out for myself what is around that next bend. To just enjoy what the journey is instead of rushing to reach the end of the rainbow! Why do we always chase after the pot of gold instead of just enjoying the view?
Yes it is easier said than done Therese! I used to not be like this. It just seems that as I got older I have become so caught up in the rat race that it is hard to just be.

This book will mark my first foray into a real bookclub (not the internet version). I'm a little nervous as to how it will go.
I don't have things underlined. I don't have pages marked or dog-eared. And with the exception of the three blog posts, I haven't made a whole lot of notes. I hope they're forgiving of the newbie. Hey, at least I read it.
I also hope there aren't many fans of the book amongst them. That could be a little uncomfortable. As you may have gathered, I'm not a fan.
Overall, I found the book terribly uninspiring. Jacobs focused almost all of her insight on cities and cars. Occasionally she broke away from such topics (especially with the "Credentialing Versus Educating" chapter, which was pretty good) but I found it hard to care, as callous as that may sound. I guess a lot of the problem might have been my expectations going into it. I was hoping to gather some knowledge or a new perspective on the dying cultures of minority groups such as the Inuit or Newfoundlanders, but she offered very little in the way of such peoples.
While she claimed in the opening chapter that it is "both a gloomy and hopeful" book, she seemed to have skimped on the "hopeful". It's not an uncommon complaint of her writing, as far as I've discovered, and it's bothersome. She took on such an air of superiority about the mistakes of the past yet her solutions seemed wishy-washy at best. Asides from preaching that we should learn from the past (which in itself is not a novel idea), she states that we, as a society, need to be self aware. Without much elaboration on her part, it seemed like a pretty hollow solution as far as I'm concerned. Jacobs, at least in this particular book, seemed to be all hindsight, and very little foresight.
I guess that I've only been aware of Jane Jacobs as someone whose expertise lay in the analysis of the city, so I am not surprised that she didn't get into cultures who traditionally live outside of urban settings. Still though, if you were expecting a broader analysis of cultures, that would be disappointing.
Go to your book club meeting and be the dissenting voice!
I'll go and speak my mind, but in moderation. I don't want to be that "cranky guy we only invited once".
Well, the book club is over now. It was better than I expected- my fears of offending someone were unfounded. Nobody seemed to care greatly for the book. Most of the points I made here were brought up. We got sidetracked quite a bit but that's the nature of the book, I think. Plus, I found the conversations much more thought-provoking than the book itself (which was nice).
Now, if those people who just wanted to prove how smart they are would leave, I'd be psyched about the next meeting. Oh well, at least most people didn't come across that way.

Some people like to go away for the Fourth of July-and why not? It's the peak of the summer season and the weather can't be beat. Other people however, have discovered that staying close and having their celebration at home can be just as fun, just as memorable, and a little easier on the wallet. In fact, you can make your Fourth of July party even more special (and a lot less stressful) by renting the things that you need.
No matter the weather, size of your event, or particular needs of your expected guests, renting can get it done for you.
For your basic party needs such as tables, chairs, dishes, and serving equipment, you can rent as much as you need for the number of guests you plan on inviting.
If the weather is somewhat less than celebratory, don't worry, we've got you covered. Literally. Tents and canopies are available to keep your party going in even the dreariest of weather. But even if the weather is nice, your guests will still need a break from the sun. Our tents and canopies will give them the shade that they need. Fans and tent air-conditioners are available as well, in the chance that it will be a scorcher.
For the unique things that make a party "a party", consider sound equipment or even a dance floor. For the kids, inflatables are a great way to keep them occupied. Choose from bounce houses, slides, climbing walls, bungee runs, and more. They'll have a blast while being safe at the same time.

Q: Nokia Lumia800 wifi with lock screen Is it possible to use a background agent or a reminder to keep
the wifi alive?
Let's say i let a background agent open a connection to a server every minute or so.
The wifi will shutdown after two minutes but then you reconnect.
Is this possible? or am I totally wrong?
This is a big problem for all Windows Phone users.

A: It's not possible with a background agent.

Periodic agents typically run every 30 minutes. To optimize battery life, periodic agents may be run in alignment with other background processes and therefore the execution time may drift by up to 10 minutes.
Resource-intensive agents typically run for 10 minutes. There are
  other constraints that may cause an agent to be terminated early

And you can not turn on wifi without user intervention

We were looking for a Point of Sale solution to work with QuickBooks, which would interact directly with the Inventory module, updating quantities and prices. AccuPOS Point of Sale was by far the best solution we found, and a top quality product through and through.
We have used AccuPOS Point of Sale in our retail trade business for over seven years and have been very pleased with the software. I installed the software and setup the networking to integrate with QuickBooks, and I AM NOT a tech!
Absolutely the BEST, no more daily accounting necessary, just Z-out and it dumps everything into QuickBooks in the right accounts, saves endless hours of keying in entries at the end of the day. Integrated with PC CHARGE and a high speed internet connection equals 3 second, yes, 3 second credit card transactions!

Wells College was founded in 1868 in Aurora, New York, by Henry Wells. Up until 2005, the college only admitted women. Wells College is a liberal arts college that offers bachelor's degrees in thirty subject areas. Its average yearly enrollment of around 550 students makes it one of the smallest colleges in New York State. The Wells College campus is located on 360 acres along the eastern shore of Cayuga Lake. The campus consists of twenty-three buildings, including dormitories, lecture halls, athletic facilities and administrative offices.
Prior to federal regulations placed on asbestos in the 1970s, dozens of asbestos-containing materials were utilized in the construction and maintenance of buildings at Wells College, including pipe covering, insulating cement and block insulation. Inhaling dust from the application and removal of asbestos-containing materials placed workers at risk for developing asbestos related diseases, such as mesothelioma or lung cancer.
At Wells College, boilers produced steam, which was used to heat buildings on the campus. Steam was delivered to the buildings through a system of pipes. The equipment housed in the steam system, including pipes, valves, pumps and boilers, were covered with asbestos-containing insulation. During maintenance and repair work on the steam system, insulation was removed in order to access the equipment. When the work was completed, new asbestos-containing insulation was applied. Removing and applying asbestos-containing materials caused asbestos dust and fibers to become airborne.
Many union and non-union laborers who worked on construction projects at Wells College were employed by various contractors throughout Central New York and the Finger Lakes Region. If you or a loved one were employed as a laborer at Wells College and have been diagnosed with mesothelioma or lung cancer, we urge you to contact us regarding your legal rights.

Rev. Bassam Michael Madany was born in Seleucia, in the province of Antioch, Syria. He received his education in British and French schools in the Middle East prior to, and during World War II. In 1950, he came to the United States and studied at the Reformed Presbyterian Theological Seminary in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, graduating in May 1953. During 1957-1958, Rev. Madany took further studies at Calvin Theological Seminary, in Grand Rapids, Michigan. He holds a Bachelor of Divinity degree from that institution.
In June 1958, Rev. Madany was appointed as Arabic Broadcast Minister, in the Christian Reformed Church. He pioneered Arabic radio missions and developed a Bible-based ministry, which emphasizes the centrality of the Word of God in missions to Muslims. He has authored several books in Arabic for his follow-up ministry. He has authored several books in Arabic for use in the spread of the Word of God among Arabic-speaking people. He has published two books in English, The Bible & Islam, and An Introduction to Islam. The former book has been translated into Russian, and has already gone through two printings.
Shirley W. Madany, assisted her husband in the Arabic Broadcast Department for 25 years. Besides her secretarial duties, she assumed responsibility for the monthly follow-up mailings, which went to a list of over 30,000 names in more than 65 countries. She gained a working knowledge of the Arabic language in that process. She also contributed monthly articles about their work to the Missionary Monthly Magazine.
Born in Portage la Prairie, Manitoba, Canada, Shirley was secretary to Grant Dexter, editor of The Winnipeg Free Press before her marriage. In those early years of radio ministry Shirley expanded the work by producing a flyer describing all the evangelistic Arabic publications available. Their first English publication The Bible and Islam was edited from lectures given at Reformed Bible College, in Grand Rapids, Michigan. It has reached well beyond the 15,000 mark and has been twice published in Nairobi, Kenya for East African readers. Likewise twice published in the Russian language.
The Madanys have worked as a team both in radio and now on the Internet. In 2005 Shirley's first book, Muslims Meeting Christ, appeared in print.

(Manchester, New Hampshire)
For Immediate Release                                  February 18, 1999
AT ROUNDTABLE DISCUSSION ON LONG-TERM CARE
Dover Municipal Building
Dover, New Hampshire
THE PRESIDENT: Thank you very much. (Applause.) Thank you very much, Governor. To our panelists; I'd like to thank the Mayor, the numerous state legislators who are here, City Council members and county commissioners and others. I'm delighted to be back here and delighted to have a chance to meet with all of you and to hear from our panelists about an issue that I had a lot of conversations like this about in 1991 and 1992 in New Hampshire.
I came here to talk about the health care needs of our people, what we can do to address them, and the special responsibilities we have now as a result of the aging of America. As all of you know, the number of people over 65 is going up dramatically. When the baby boomers retire, we will have double the number of people over 65 we do today. And that imposes all sorts of challenges on our country, on the nation as a whole and on the states.
I want to compliment the Governor for the marvelous work that she has done here in New Hampshire, taking full advantage of our children's health program, which, as she said, was part of the Balanced Budget Act. We think it will enable us to provide health insurance to at least 5 million of the 10 million children in our country who don't have it, if the states will vigorously implement it. And New Hampshire has done a terrific job. And I also appreciate the work she's done on health access, disability and other issues. We'll talk about some of that today.
Our panelists today are going to talk about a number of the health challenges we face -- the right of patients to have proper health care -- and you talked about the right to sue. As you know, I tried very hard last year and I'm trying again now to pass federal legislation which would give people the right to seek redress from HMOs if they suffer wrongfully. We want to talk about how hard it is for small businesses still to provide coverage. We want to talk about the health care needs of the elderly and children and people with disabilities.
As I said, all of these health care needs are going to be complicated by the aging of America. They're going to be complicated by the fact that as we live longer, more and more of us will need some sort of long-term care. And that's why one of the things in our balanced budget is $1,000 tax credit to help families defray the cost of providing long-term care for elderly or disabled loved ones.
We also, because health care is improving, we'll have larger numbers of people with disabilities who deserve a chance to go to work, if they can work; to have health care; to live to the fullest of their abilities.
I believe that we need to see this in the context of a larger picture. But I would like to say just a word about the discussions that will inevitably be held about a problem that we could -- no one would have believed if we had talked about it six years ago in New Hampshire or seven years ago, and that is what to do with the surplus. (Laughter.) That was an inconceivable discussion in 1991 and 1992 in New Hampshire.
There are all kinds of ideas -- let me just say that because we have a challenge with the aging of America, which affects not only those who will be seniors, but their children and grandchildren -- I can tell you as the oldest of the baby boomers, one of the things that my generation is most worried about is that our aging will impose unsustainable burdens on our children and, therefore, undermine their ability to raise our grandchildren.
That's why when we talk about saving Social Security and saving Medicare for the 21st century, we're not only talking about the seniors of our country, but also the children and grandchildren of those seniors. And it's an economic necessity not only for the seniors, but for all of their children as well. And the same thing is true when you talk about doing something about long-term care.
But I'll just say that on the surplus issue, which is not primarily what I wanted to talk about today, but the first question -- you will hear all kinds of debates in the next year about what to do with the surplus. And they'll all be good ideas. But we have to ask ourselves, what should our first priority be?
My first priority doesn't take all of the surplus, but my first priority is to set aside enough money in that surplus to save Social Security and Medicare for the 21st century, strengthen Social Security by doing something about the extraordinary poverty rate among elderly women, who are increasingly living alone in their later years, and lifting the earnings limit on Social Security to help healthy seniors get what they're entitled to and still be able to work if they choose, to save Medicare and to do something to modernize Medicare that I think is terribly important.
I'll never forget the meeting I had in Nashua at the -- senior center there, with the couple that told me they missed a lot of meals every week so they could pay their medical bills. Medicare should have a prescription drug benefit. I feel very strongly about that. (Applause.) And let me say again, this will cost money in the short run; it will save big money in the long run. If people can get proper medication, particularly with the dramatic advances in medical science, what you will see is there will be fewer trips to the hospital, fewer trips to the doctor, people being able to maintain their own health care.
So I hope these things will be done. If we do that, it would require us to save about 77 percent of the surplus for 15 years. And we project now we will have one now -- of course, it will be off from one year to the next. Some years we'll have good economies, some years the economy won't be so good. But there is no built-in deficit in your government anymore, so over any 10-15 year period we can pretty well predict, if we have normal economic performance, ups and downs, what the aggregate savings would be.
If we do that, let me tell you something else we can do. We will pay down the publicly held debt in this country, which was 50 percent of our annual income when I took office -- now down to 44 -- we'll pay it down to 7 percent. That's the lowest it's been since 1917, before we went into World War II. What that means is that instead of spending 14 cents of every tax dollar you send to Washington just paying interest on the debt, which is what we were doing in 1993, when I took office, we'll be only spending 2 cents of every tax dollar for interest on the debt.
So we can deal with the aging of America in a way that gets the debt down, brings interest rates down, keeps the economy going, and strengthens long-term economic health and well-being for America.
So I hope that whatever we do on all the other issues and the details of Social Security and Medicare and all that, there will be a common understanding that our first priority needs to be to keep the economy strong, deal with the aging of America, and invest in the future of this country.
Now, meanwhile, let's come back to the present day. In the balanced budget I have presented to Congress, that has nothing to do with the surplus -- in other words, whatever this debate is in the surplus is not affected by the budget I presented this year -- we do have a $1,000 tax credit for people to provide long-term to the elderly and disabled . This has become a bigger and bigger concern of Americans as more and more people provide this because they think it is the right thing to do, or because it is the only thing to do. Whether it is the right choice or the only choice, it is rarely an easy choice. And it is never cost-free.
Last summer at their annual family conference in Nashville, Vice President and Mrs. Gore talked about this whole long-term care issue a lot and we got into the development of this proposal. And now the Vice President is having forums about this all across the nation. But the basic problem is that out-of-pocket expenses even for family members providing long-term care can be quite high, and as you know, it's rarely covered by private insurance or Medicare. And for caregivers who hold a job outside the home -- which that's the vast majority of caregivers -- they may have to take unpaid leave or work fewer hours, which also is a direct drain on them.
Now, we have tried to strengthen the Medicare by cracking down on fraud and abuse; we've saved billions of dollars on that. We've extended the life of the trust fund for a decade. But in the next few years this long-term care challenge for the elderly and for the disabled is going to mushroom. So in our budget we have the $1,000 tax credit. We also have a caregiver support program to help put caregivers in touch with each other so they can help each other, and to provide technical and other support for them. And we also have taken new steps to help Medicaid pay for home and for community-based care. All of this I think is quite important.
I also believe very strongly that we should pass a national patients' bill of rights, like the one Governor Shaheen has been trying to pass here. And it's obvious why more and more people are covered by managed care. You're going to see this year the managed care insurance rates start to go up quite steeply after years of being around the rate of inflation. And I think people in managed care programs can benefit from them as long as they don't have to give up the quality of care. If you need to see a specialist, you ought to be able to see one. If you have to change jobs, you shouldn't have to change doctors in the middle of a treatment -- whether it's a chemotherapy treatment or a pregnancy or some other kind of continuing treatment. And you should not be denied the right to sue, in my judgment, if you are harmed.
There are other provisions in our patients' bill of rights; I hope we can pass that this year. I believe this is not a political issue anyplace in the world except Washington, D.C. If you took a poll in Dover, New Hampshire, I'll bet you there wouldn't be a nickel's worth of difference in the support for a patients' bill of rights among Republicans, Democrats and independents. We all get sick; we all need doctors; we all need health care. This should not be a partisan issue.
There's another bill there we're trying very hard to pass this year that would affect some of the families in this room and many in the state, and that is legislation proposed by Senator Jeffords, Senator Kennedy, Senator Roth and Senator Moynihan, that would allow people with disabilities to keep Medicaid health insurance when they go to work. I think this is very, very important.
I always remind people -- by the way, to the younger people in this audience, saving Social Security is an issue not just for seniors; a third of the money from the Social Security trust fund goes to payments to disabled Americans and payments to the surviving children and other family members of people who die prematurely. So this is something that we should never forget. When you hear all this debate on Social Security, don't forget that, that it's not just a question of what we pay in and what we get out in retirement. It's also -- we're insuring all of each other against the vicissitudes and the fortunes of life. And I think that's very important. But this bill is incredibly important.
And, finally, we've asked Congress to pass a plan that would give tax relief to help small businesses insure their employees and to help them join together and form more pools to buy more economical insurance. That is still a very large problem in our country.
When I came here in 1992, people were very concerned about the number of Americans who did not have health insurance on the job. I can tell you that the number of Americans without health insurance on the job has increased since 1992. Now we are insuring more people than we were then because we've extended the Medicare program and we want to extend it further for people with disabilities who go to work. We're going to try to get 5 million kids into the program that the Governor talked about. But we have to do everything we can to try to help small businesses to afford health insurance for their employees.
Well, those are the things that I wanted to talk about. I hope there will be broad support for them here. I hope you will tell your congressional delegation you think we ought to have a $1,000 tax credit; you think we ought to have a tax credit for small businesses to get health insurance; you support the effort to let people who are disabled keep their Medicaid health insurance when they go into the workplace; and you support the patients' bill of rights. These are some of the things that I believe we can get done this year, and I'm going to do everything I can do to it.
Now, let's hear from our panelists. I'd like to start with Beth Dixon, who is a mother of four from Concord, who spent the majority of the last year caring for her father who suffered from Alzheimer's and passed away last March. I'd like for her to tell a little bit about her story and what we could do to help people like her.
MS. DIXON: Hi, Mr. President. I am the mother of four children. My youngest child has a disability also, and he requires a great deal of support to experience a typical life. I want him to have a typical life, so we do all we can to provide the support needed.
About six or seven years ago, we were told my dad had Alzheimer's Disease and my mother was his primary caregiver for most of that time. About a year and a half ago, my parents had to sell their home and they moved in with me. I was sure, though, that we would be able to handle the situation or whatever we needed to handle with the supports of our community, to assist us in caring for my dad at home.
After calling many agencies and organizations, though, I realized that there was no help for families in our situation. There was lots of information, but no assistance, nowhere to go, no financial help. As the disease progressed and my dad's condition deteriorated, my mother finally had to make the really tough decision to place him in a nursing home, and the nursing home was over an hour away from our home.
Now, even though I had been doing all I could to help her help him, I still had a family and a son who needed lots of support. My whole family had become caregivers in this situation. You know, I was taking my mother out, my husband would stay, my mother-in-law -- my mother-in-law also lives with us. We've got a pretty big household, kind of like the Waltons, you know.
We all, everyone did all we could to help my dad stay at home for as long as he could. But eventually my mother felt she had no other options except to place him in a nursing home. She was exhausted. And she was feeling really guilty because she placed us in this situation -- she didn't actually, we offered, but she was feeling really guilty about that. And she was just worn down, there was no support.
I'd love for you to meet my son and my parents. My son, Andrew.
THE PRESIDENT: I think we ought to give him a hand. (Applause.)
You know, I lost an uncle and an aunt to Alzheimer's. And, again, it's something we'll have more of as we live longer. The average life expectancy in America is now 76. The young people in this room today, their life expectancy is probably about 83, if the present rates of medical advances continue. But until we find a cure for this -- and we're investing a lot of money in it now, in research -- we're going to have to deal with it.
I think when we hear somebody like Beth talk, we may have mixed feelings, but don't know how that woman did that. I mean, that's what we're all thinking. On the other hand, I think we're all thinking, Beth, it's a good thing extended families can stay together for as long as possible. And I consider this tax credit just a down payment on what I think our country should be doing.
I think over the long run, as we live longer, we have not just three, but four generations of families up and around and doing, we will always have a need for our nursing homes, our boarding homes, our hospitals. But I will predict to you that when my term is over and when people are grappling with this over the next 10 years, that the American people will essentially demand that families get tax relief and other support because you'll have more and more families at least trying to do what Beth did. But this is a big first step because the government has never done anything to help people in this situation before, and it's high time we did.
I'd like to call on David Robar now, a 34-year-old New Hampshire native who sustained a spinal cord injury which has permanently injured him. Before that, he was a world-class ski jumper. And he's made quite a brave life for himself now, going back to school and learning. I'd like for him to talk about his circumstances and how he might be affected by some of the things I mentioned today.
David?
MR. ROBAR: Thank you, Mr. President. These issues are very personal to me. In 1990, I sustained a spinal cord injury that changed my life dramatically. After spending three months in the hospital, three months in re-hab, I returned home to adjust to a new life. Despite all these changes, I was determined to finish school. With the help of vocational rehabilitation, I finished my degree in business administration. When I began looking for a job I found myself in a Catch 22 situation. Currently the personal attendant benefits I receive through the Medicaid program are what makes it possible for me to work. They literally get me out of bed in the morning. If I were to work full-time, which I would like to, I would make too much money to be eligible for Medicaid, and I would lose my personal attendant benefits and my health care coverage. If I were to pay for my personal attendant services out of pocket it would cost me more than I would make working full-time.
Mr. President, your support for the Work Incentives Improvement Act and the other initiatives you have promoted to address the long-term care needs of individuals of all ages is a critical step towards limiting barriers to employment with individuals with disabilities. I want to thank you for your support. (Applause.)
THE PRESIDENT: I want to emphasize what he said to you. Under present law, he is entitled -- and I think all of us are glad he is -- to get attendant care services. He will get them if he stayed home and did nothing -- he'll get them, and the cost would be the same. He is permitted to work part-time and he still gets them. If he works full-time he loses them.
Now, if he worked full-time, it would cost you less. Why? Because the cost for the attendant services would be no more, but he'd be paying more in taxes to defray the cost of his own services. This is a crazy situation. And it's one of those things that hasn't been done in the past. It's kind of like the prescription drug benefit for Medicare -- it cost more money for a year or two because you have to start fronting the money; but over time it obviously will be a big net benefit to us. And not only that, I think our basic respect for human dignity requires us to do everything we can to give people a chance to work.
We worked hard to pass the welfare reform law that said if you're able-bodied and there's a job, you've got to work if you can. When you have people knocking down the doors to work who could get jobs, for us to deny them the right because of some barrier in federal law I think is unconscionable. And I hope and believe this will pass this year. And you'll be exhibit A, I'm going to talk about you all over America, but especially in Washington. And I thank you. (Applause.)
Karen Goddard is a mother of two children and the owner of two maternity and children's clothing stores. She's from Nashua and she's got an interesting situation with health insurance. I'd like for her to talk a little about them.
MS. GODDARD: Not nearly as dramatic as the previous two stories, but one, I think that I represent a large number of people. I am a single mother. I have two girls. I've been self-employed. I own two shops, I do employ four part-time people. Over the last, I would say, four years or so, I've tried to think about how could I get health insurance for myself. Because of my children, because of my income and being a single mom I qualify for Medicaid, but I don't have health insurance. What if something happened to me? I've got to think of my children, too -- and my employees, because I do run a business that employs people. So I've looked over the -- I also have an employee who doesn't have health insurance and she has a little girl.
So we look periodically and we get prices and we get quotes and we say, we can't afford it. And we put it by the wayside and six months later we try again. And so far we haven't come up with a plan where we can afford to pay monthly premiums to cover ourselves. And, like I say, I have several friends who own businesses who do not have health insurance. So I know I'm not alone in the situation. So we're just looking for a way that we can insure ourselves and our children in a way that we can afford. (Applause.)
GOVERNOR SHAHEEN: Karen, I know that one of the things that the President's going to talk about are some of the incentives he's providing for small businesses. One of the things that we're doing in New Hampshire -- and we hope it will pass this year -- is allowing small businesses to get together to form purchasing cooperatives which can then lower the cost of the premiums. And I think, hopefully, if that passes, that might be an option that would then make it easier for you to get health insurance.
THE PRESIDENT: I think that the two things we're trying to do are complementary. But basically, what we need now under the present state of laws, is, the federal government should provide some sort of tax break to small business, some financial aid to lower the cost of the premium, as well as facilitate the joining together of small businesses into a larger pool.
Because the real problem is, if you've got three or four employees -- I know some of them are insured through their spouse's work program -- but let's suppose you've got just your one employee who has a child. It's not only prohibitively expensive now, but if you add one child in any of the groups and you're trying to insure two or three employees, you're out of there. I mean, you can't begin to afford it.
So I think the important thing is for us not only to provide financial assistance, but to facilitate small businesses going into bigger groups, and to cut the costs and the hassle of all the paperwork involved in that. And we're going to try to do that and I think it will bear some fruit.
Eventually, some provision will have to be made to do more than that, I think, but this is a very important first step. And there are probably millions of people who could get health insurance if we could have a combined state-federal effort to give a little break on the premium and then to bring the overall cost level down by letting some people like you go into bigger pools; and that's essentially where we're going with this.
I want to now introduce Christine Monteiro, who has four children who have been insured intermittently for the last 11 years, completely uninsured for the last five years, and she discovered the child health program that the Governor passed that we supported back in the balanced budget law. and I'd like her to talk about it and then I've got a specific question I want to ask.
MS. MONTEIRO: I am a mother of four daughters -- 24, 22, 16 and 11. For the past 11 years, my husband and I have been running a family business. We have had at least four different insurance plans. The premium starts out affordable, but deductibles are so high they don't even cover doctor visits or dentists.
Also, after one year, even the premium is no longer affordable. So for the first six years we have had our business, we were on and off insurance policies. And for the past five years, we have had no insurance coverage. Last month, we found out about Healthy Kids through my doctor's office. We were told this would be a way to get health insurance for our daughters at an affordable rate that would only increase with the increase of our income.
One of my daughters has been to the doctor's three times already this month. Without Healthy Kids, I don't know how we would have been able to afford her medical bills. I don't worry anymore about taking my girls to the doctor's. (Applause.)
THE PRESIDENT: Tell me again how you found out about this program.
MS. MONTEIRO: I took my daughter to the doctor's and I asked him about a subsidized or a sliding scale, and then they told me about Healthy Kids.
THE PRESIDENT: The reason I ask is that one of our big problems in the larger urban areas -- I wish this lady were an exception, but she's not. There are 10 million children out there like her kids -- 10 million -- and any of them can get sick. And one of the problems we've got is really developing a system in a lot of places for people to know.
There are places where people won't even go to the doctor, they're so discouraged. And anyway, if any of you have any ideas about that -- I think we have tried -- I think most of the states are trying to make sure that the doctors tell people if they actually come to the office that they might be eligible for this. And that's the most practical thing to do. But we also need a lot more outreach because it's conceivable to me that the money we've allocated to this, if we're giving the states, ** will cover even more than 5 million kids if we can actually find them and tell them.
And I know this is painful for you to come here, but this important, the American people need to know this. They need to know, A, this thing, it's here, in New Hampshire and it's good, And it's in other states. But they also need to know there are a lot of people like you out there that need help that don't have it yet. So thanks for being brave enough to show up. I appreciate it. (Applause.)
I'd like now to call on Stephen Gorin, who is a professor in the social work program at Plymouth State College, the Executive Director of the New Hampshire Chapter of the National Association of Social Workers, which is the state's most visible patient advocacy organization. He also has a bi-weekly radio program.
MR. GORIN: Thank you, Mr. President. I'd like to briefly address an issue I know you understand well -- the need for a patients' bill of rights. I've traveled throughout New Hampshire and spoken on this issue before many audiences, including providers and consumers. Invariably, I found strong support for the bill of rights. The stories I've heard are chilling -- families denied access to specialists, physicians offered incentives to limit referrals and consumers denied the right to appeal adverse decisions.
Although New Hampshire has made some progress in recent years, largely due to the hard work of our Governor -- and before that, when she was Senator Shaheen -- a recent study by Families USA found that we still lag behind many states in consumer protections. Governor Shaheen's HMO Accountability Act will remedy some of these problems, and we applaud her efforts. However, as you well know, we also need action at the federal level.
Due to a loophole in federal law, an estimated 600,000 New Hampshire residents lack a means of holding managed care organizations accountable for injury or damages. The patients' bill of rights closes this loophole.
We've heard much today about the need to expand access. As an advocate, I certainly understand the need to provide coverage for all our residents. In a sense, however, coverage is only half the picture. Without a patients' bill of rights, coverage can be meaningless. Consumers need to know that if they go to an emergency room their plan will pay for it, and if they have cancer they will have access to an oncologist. They also need to know that they will have the right of independent appeal if they are denied treatment or care. Both consumers and purchasers want value for their product, and only a bill of rights can ensure that we get it.
We also know, Mr. President, that some in Congress have introduced legislation purporting to be a patients' bill of rights. Unfortunately, this legislation is more a bill of goods than a bill of rights. We urge you to hold out for legislation that will provide real protection and ensure the accountability of managed care organizations to consumers. The New Hampshire legislature needs to enact the Governor's HMO accountability act and Congress needs to enact a patients' bill of rights that allows the states to regulate managed care organizations and protect all our citizens. (Applause.)
THE PRESIDENT: You know, the Vice President tells this great joke about these two guys that show up at Heaven, and St. Peter asks the first guy, what did you do on Earth? And he said, I was a lawyer. He said, I don't know about you. (Laughter.) He said, yeah, but I did all this pro bono work for poor people. I really did. Twenty percent of my time I did it. And he said, well, okay, come on in.
And the second guy says that he was a media mogul. And he said, I'm not sure about you. He said, but I gave away 10 percent of my money to my church and to my charity every year. And he said, okay, come on in. And the third guy's just hanging his head. He's so sheepish and he said, I ran an HMO. And St. Peter said, well, come right in, no questions asked. But you can only stay three days. (Laughter and applause.)
He tells it better than I do. But anyway, I'd like to make this point. The reason we need this patients' bill of rights partly has to do with the structure of these HMOs. Keep in mind, let me take you back to 1992. Costs in health care were escalating at three times the rate of inflation. That was unsustainable. We were all going to go broke paying for health care. We were already paying a much bigger percentage of our income than any other country in the world was, so we needed to manage the costs.
The problem is, when you set up a group to manage the costs, unless there are standards everybody has to adhere to -- that's why a lot of these HMOs actually support the bill of rights -- some of the really good ones support this, because unless there are standards everyone has to adhere to, they're going to be interested in cutting costs. And a lot of the bigger ones, for example, someone shows up for a procedure and they need a specialist, or they need a certain special procedure and the doctors says, well, I have to refer it to the HMO, normally the nurse in the doctor's office will call the HMO. Well, the first person you call is not a doctor, and they just know one thing: they will never get in trouble for saying no, right?
So then, they have a certain amount of time they have to appeal. Very often, the person at the second level is not a doctor; they know the same thing. They're never going to get in trouble for saying no. Why? Because they know somewhere up the line there is a doctor, and if they mess up by saying no, then they say, well, the doctor will fix it. But if they mess up by saying yes, they'll be told they're not saving money.
The problem is, it's like justice. Health care delayed can sometimes be health care denied. That's one of the biggest problems. And I have heard all of these chilling stories. I'm sure you have. By the time people get their procedures approved, it's too late. And the emergency room thing is really unconscionable, particularly -- it would apply, like in New Hampshire where the communities aren't very big, it would apply more if you were visiting Boston or something and you got hit by a car and you went to the nearest emergency room and they say, I'm sorry, the emergency room -- your HMO will reimburse for is 15 miles in the other direction. So we have got to fix this.
Now, the opposition says, it will raise the cost of health care. It will -- but not much, maybe eight or ten bucks a year or something. It would be worth it to you -- one trip to the emergency room, it would be worth it to you.
So I think -- I can't tell you how important I think this is. I think you're going to have more and more and more of these horror stories unless we pass a national bill which will, at a very minimum, protect the state's ability to do what Governor Shaheen wants to do, and say everybody has got a right to the nearest emergency room, to a continuation of treatment, to see a specialist and to know what all their medical options are.
And, again I say, this should absolutely not be a partisan issue. It has been in Washington because of the interplay of the organized interest groups up there, but it's not out in America. And it shouldn't be. You just keep plugging, we'll get there this year, I think. (Applause.)
That is our health agenda for this session of Congress. You see it here, embodied in these five panelists -- and then what the Governor has worked to do on the children's health program and other things. I would very much like to see the spirit in the country and in Washington, D.C. that I felt here in New Hampshire so many years ago when I first came here, to take these health care issues and sort of put them beyond partisan politics and put the people and the families of this country and their interests first.
If we succeed this year in doing that, all of you can know that your presence here made a difference -- and especially the panelists. I think we should give them one more big hand.
Thank you very, very much and God bless you all. (Applause.)

Q: Join Multiple table without using joins I have two tables like
StudPersonalinfo
-----------------
studid,studname,father name,address,state,city,ExtraCurricularActivities

and another table is
Mark
------------------
studid,studname,m1,m2,m3

Is there any other way to join these two tables without using join conditions?
Can anyone please help me..

A: You can also do it using WHERE clause:
SELECT *
FROM StudPersonalinfo S, Mark M
WHERE S.studid=M.studid

I would still recommend using JOIN. It is the best practice.

A: please try this Sql View
step 1 create view with join
CREATE VIEW StudentDetails
As
SELECT
    t1.studID,
    t2.studName,
    t2.Mark1,
    t2.Mark2
FROM
    Table1 t1
    LEFT JOIN Table2 t2 ON t1.column = t2.column

step 2 use this view in single query like below.
SELECT * from StudentDetails

A: Use UNION instead of JOIN. Also can use comma as
1/
SELECT *
    FROM A UNION B
WHERE condition

2/
SELECT *
   FROM A,B
WHERE condition

A: select empno from emp
intersect
select empno from audit_emp
SELECT *
FROM customers
WHERE EXISTS (SELECT *
FROM order_details
WHERE customers.customer_id = order_details.customer_id);

Tsujigiri killings are a well-loved subject of the Samurai Jidaigeki literature and films.
tameshigiri 試し切り "trying out a new sword"
usually done on the bodies of executed people
- quote
Tsujigiri (辻斬り or 辻斬 tsuji-giri, literally 'crossroads killing')
is a Japanese term for a practice when a samurai, after receiving a new katana or developing a new fighting style or weapon, tests its effectiveness by attacking a human opponent, usually a random defenseless passer-by, in many cases during nighttime. The practitioners themselves are also referred to as tsujigiri.
In the medieval era, the term referred to traditional duels between bushi, but in the Sengoku period (1467-1600), widespread anarchy caused it to degrade into indiscriminate murder, permitted by the unchecked power of the bushi. Shortly after order was restored, the Edo government prohibited the practice in 1602. Offenders would receive capital punishment. The only known incident where a very large number of people were indiscriminately killed in the Edo period was the 1696 Yoshihara spree killing (吉原百人斬), where a wealthy lord named Yoshihara had a psychotic fit and murdered dozens of prostitutes with a katana. He was treated by authorities as a spree killer and sentenced to death. Later, a kabuki play was made about the incident.
The practice of tsujigiri has been cited in the philosophical debate over moral relativism, notably by Mary Midgley in her 1989 work Can't We Make Moral Judgements?.
Kiri-sute gomen 斬捨御免 or 切捨御免,
literally, "authorization to cut and leave" - the body of the victim
is an old Japanese expression dating back to the feudal era right to strike (right of samurai to kill commoners for perceived affronts). Samurai had the right to strike with sword at anyone of a lower class who compromised their honour.
- - - - - Conditions
Because the right was defined as a part of self defense, the strike had to follow immediately after the offense, meaning that the striker could not attack someone for a past grievance. Also, due to the right being self-defense, it was not permissible to deliver a further coup de grâce. Moreover, the samurai who exercised the right had to prove the correctness of his action in court by producing a witness. Punishment for the incorrect exercise of this right was severe. An offender could be beheaded without being allowed to perform seppuku and have his house abolished, meaning that none of his sons could succeed the title. Due to the seriousness of the punishment, many performed seppuku to pre-empt the verdict. A samurai visiting a different feudal province had to be extremely careful, especially if it was in Edo, the seat of the Shogun. Wrongful executions of commoners from different feudal provinces were seen as an offense against a feudal state. It was thus advisable for samurai visiting different provinces to be accompanied by a servant, so as to provide witness.
- - - - - Right of defense
Because of the somewhat arbitrary nature of this right, anyone who was at the receiving end had the right to defend themselves by wakizashi (short sword). This situation was most common in the case of a higher samurai exercising the right against a lower ranked samurai as samurai would always carry wakizashi.
The expression is still sometimes used in modern-day as "I apologize in advance for this one" for the subtle humor in offering what amounts to an unsympathetic apology.
An instance of Kiri sute gomen is described in the story of the Hōgyū Jizō statue. A boy, whose father was killed by Kirisute gomen, made 100 stone statues in later life, in Kumamoto.

tameshigiri (試し斬り, 試し切り, 試斬, 試切)
is the Japanese art of target test cutting. The kanji literally mean "test cut" (kun'yomi: ためし ぎり tameshi giri). This practice was popularized in the Edo period (17th century) for testing the quality of Japanese swords. It continues to the present day, but has evolved into a martial art which focuses on demonstrating the practitioner's skill with a sword.
. . . . . there were a wide variety of cuts used on cadavers and occasionally convicted criminals, from tabi-gata (ankle cut) to O-kesa (diagonal cut from shoulder to opposite hip). The names of the types of cuts on cadavers show exactly where on the body the cut was made.

Shinto in History: Ways of the Kami
By John Breen, Mark Teeuwen
On his deathbed Tokugawa Ieyasu had the sword 三池光世 Miike Mitsuyo "tested" on a prisoner, only to declare the sword to be the seat of a kami he himself is going to become after his death.
- reference : books.google.co.jp -
Miike Mitsuyo
The Tokugawa shogunate founder Ieyasu had such an unswerving belief in the spiritual power of this sword that on his death bed he officially transferred his spirit to it, vowing to ensure the eternal prosperity of the shogunate. As a gesture to indicate the Tokugawa family's position of ultimate control, he ordered the tip of the sword, when displayed, to be pointed toward the region of the Toyotomi clan, which had threatened his hegemony. The sword was the symbol of Ieyasu's role as protector of the country and became treasured as the main object of worship in the deification of Ieyasu as Tosho Shinkun, the Great God of the Shrines of Eastern Japan.

"Trying Out One's New Sword," by Mary Midgley
- - - - - Summary
Midgley argues that not only is moral isolationism – the view that one ought to respect other cultures but not judge them – incorrect, it is logically incoherent. She does so by presenting four self-contained arguments: that judgment is logically antecedent to respect, that outsiders can judge foreign cultures, if on a provisional basis, that moral isolationism leads to a complete inability to make moral judgments of any kind, and that cultures are not, as moral isolationism holds, subject to isolating barriers.
. . . . . First, she argued that
"there is a contradiction between the claim that we cannot understand these rules, and the claim we must respect them." (Midgely) This only means that we, ourselves, can understand people in other cultures. In the following paragraphs, Midgely was able to illustrate some relevant examples to explain the importance of analyzing other culture's morals in order to form educated judgments about them. She gives an example of ancient Chinese samurai warriors whom before going off to battle would test the sharpness of their swords on innocent strangers. (Midgely)
. . . . . "The Japanese custom tsujigiri involves an owner of a sword and a traveler; the situation is that this owner will have to try out his/her sword to any traveler. This is to check if the blade is really that sharp and that the sword can really kill someone in just a single blow."

Kajiwara Heizô Homare no Ishikiri 梶原平三誉石切
石切梶原 ー Kabuki
first presented as a Joruri puppet theater 三浦大助紅梅靮 in 1730 at the 大阪竹本座 Takemoto-za in Osaka.
The title "Kajiwara Heizô Homare no Ishikiri" was used for the first time in June 1892, in Nagoya at the Suehiroza.
Ôba Saburô and his bombastic villainous brother Matano Gorô, who are both Heike warriors, are at a shrine in Kamakura celebrating their recent victory over the enemy general, Yoritomo, when Kajiwara Heizô, who also fought in the same battle, enters and joins them.
An elderly man and his daughter then appear and approach Ôba. Old Rokurôdayû wishes to sell a precious sword in his possession to help his daughter Kozue, and asks Ôba to buy it. Just as Ôba is about to go ahead, his brother objects and says that before anyone parts with 300 gold pieces he wants the sword examined. Kajiwara, who is known to be an outstanding swordsman, agrees to examine the sword. As he does so, he notices not only its excellence but sees something on the hilt that indicates the sword is a treasure of the enemy Genji, but he keeps that information silent. Kajiwara gives the sword his unqualified approval, and the sale is about to through again when Matano says that if it doesn't cut well it is more useless than a rusty fish knife, and insists that it is tested-by cutting two condemned prisoners in half.
The prison official reports that unfortunately there is only one prisoner currently under the death sentence, so Ôba says that he cannot buy the sword and readies himself to leave. Rokurôdayû, however, is desperate to sell the sword because he is secretly a Genji sympathizer and he needs the money to give to the Genji cause, so he offers himself as the second body, on the understanding they give the money to his daughter after his death. Matano is satisfied and plans to do the slicing himself, but Kajiwara intervenes and says he will test the sword. The condemned man is brought in and lain on top of Rokurôdayû. Kajiwara brings down the sword with precision, but only the criminal is killed. Rokurôdayû is still safely in one piece. Matano is disgusted that the sword has failed its reputation and leaves with Ôba. Kajiwara then reveals that he deliberately gauged the power of his stroke so that Rokurôdayû would not die. He, Kajiwara, recognizes the power and significance of the sword, and will buy it for himself, for he is also secretly a Genji sympathizer. And to prove the sword is in no way defective he brings it down on a stone water trough, cutting it clean in two. All three are delighted with the outcome and leave for Kajiwara's mansion to settle payment.

. Legends and Tales from Japan 伝説 - Introduction .
In Kanagawa, Yokohama 横浜市, 泉区
To appease the souls of people who got killed in a hold-up (追剥ぎ oihagi) or Tsujigiri people built a 供養塔 stone memorial for prayers.
Later wild cats begun to dance around this stone.
Hōgyū Jizō 放牛地蔵 Hogyu Jizo, Kumamoto
are Japanese stone statues; mostly of Ksitigarbha and other kinds of stone statues made by Buddhist monk Hōgyū (around 1672-1732) between 1722 and 1732 in Kumamoto, Japan. When Hōgyū was about 14, in 1686, his father was killed by a samurai. Later he made stone statues for the repose of the soul of his father.
In January 1686,
a blacksmith called Hichizaemon, a heavy drinker, threw a bamboo blower at his son. It accidentally hit the forehead of a samurai, Ohyano Genzaemon. Despite repeated apologies, Genzaemon immediately killed Hichizaemon with a sword, that being legal at the time by kiri sute gomen. Genzaemon, the son and his sister all wrote witness statements, and the Bugyō did not punish Genzaemon.
Out of grief,
the son entered the Buddhist priesthood for the repose of his father, and offered a prayer with a vow that he would make 100 stone statues. He made 107 stone statues between 1722 and 1732. He died in 1732. The 100th statue was in Ōjō-in Temple in Kumamoto, and it was the biggest statue (186 centimetres (73 in) high) among others standing on the big stone lotus.

Hideo Nagata studied every statue of Hōgyū and stated that the Hogyu was not the boy whose father was killed. The statues might be connected with the circumstances of the time such as famine.
