Organic farming does not mean going �back' to traditional methods. Many of the farming methods used in the past are still useful today. Organic farming takes the best of these and combines them with modern scientific knowledge. Organic farmers do not leave their farms to be taken over by nature; they use all the knowledge, techniques and materials available to work with nature. In this way the farmer creates a healthy balance between nature and farming, where crops and animals can grow and thrive. To be a successful organic farmer, the farmer must not see every insect as a pest, every plant out of place as a weed and the solution to every problem in an artificial chemical spray. The aim is not to eradicate all pests and weeds, but to keep them down to an acceptable level and make the most of the benefits that they may provide.
� increase long-term soil fertility.
� control pests and diseases without harming the environment.
� ensure that water stays clean and safe.
� use resources which the farmer already has, so the farmer needs less money to buy farm inputs.
� produce nutritious food, feed for animals and high quality crops to sell at a good price.
� Artificial fertilisers and herbicides are easily washed from the soil and pollute rivers, lakes and water courses.
� The prolonged use of artificial fertilisers results in soils with a low organic matter content which is easily eroded by wind and rain.
� Dependency on fertilisers. Greater amounts are needed every year to produce the same yields of crops.
� Artificial pesticides can stay in the soil for a long time and enter the food chain where they build up in the bodies of animals and humans, causing health problems.
� Artificial chemicals destroy soil micro-organisms resulting in poor soil structure and aeration and decreasing nutrient availability.
� Pests and diseases become more difficult to control as they become resistant to artificial pesticides. The numbers of natural enemies decrease because of pesticide use and habitat loss.
� Compost improves the structure of the soil. This allows more air into the soil, improves drainage and reduces erosion.
� Compost improves soil fertility by adding nutrients and by making it easier for plants to take up the nutrients already in the soil. This produces better yields.
� Compost improves the soil's ability to hold water. This stops the soil from drying out in times of drought.
� Compost can reduce pests and diseases in the soil and on the crop.
� Always apply mulches to a warm, wet soil. Mulch applied to a dry soil will keep the soil dry.
� Care should be taken as to the thickness of the mulch applied. Too much mulch will prevent air flow and encourage pests.
� To allow the germination of planted seeds through the mulch, a layer of lessthan 10cm should be used.
� To clear an area of land of persistent weeds a layer of 10cm or more can be used.
� Soil cultivation carried out at repeated intervals and at the appropriate time, when the soil is moist. Care should be taken that cultivation does not cause soil erosion.
� Chemical pesticides can kill useful insects which eat pests. Just one spray can upset the balance between pests and the useful predators which eat them.
� Artificial chemicals can stay in the environment and in the bodies of animals causing problems for many years.
� Insect pests can very quickly, over a few breeding cycles, become resistant to artificial products and are no longer controlled. This means that increased amounts or stronger chemicals are then needed creating further economic, health and environmental problems.
� Growing healthy crops that suffer less damage from pests and diseases.
� Choosing crops with a natural resistance to specific pests and diseases. Local varieties are better at resisting local pest and diseases than introduced varieties.
� Timely planting of crops to avoid the period when a pest does most damage.
� Companion planting with other crops that pests will avoid, such as onion or garlic.
� Trapping or picking pests from the crop.
� Identifying pest and diseases correctly. This will prevent the farmer from wasting time or accidentally eliminating beneficial insects. It is therefore useful to know life cycles, breeding habits, preferred host plants andpredators of pests.
� Using crop rotations to help break pest cycles and prevent a carry over of pests to the next season.
� Providing natural habitats to encourage natural predators that control pests. To do this, the farmer should learn to recognise insects and other animals that eat and control pests.
In organic systems, some variation or �genetic diversity' between the plants within a crop is beneficial. Growing a number of different crops rather than relying on one is also very important. This helps to protect against pests and diseases and acts as insurance against crop failure in unusual weather such as drought or flood. It is important to remember this when choosing which crops to grow.
� save the seed of local and improved crop varieties rather than relying on buying seed from outside the farm every year. Exchange of seed with other farmers can also help to increase diversity, and ensure the survival of the many traditional crop varieties which are being lost as they are replaced by a few modern varieties.
� Animals should not be kept in confined spaces where they cannot carry out their natural behaviour such as standing and moving around in an inadequate amount of space. However, care should be taken that animals do not damage crops.
� Food for animals should be grown organically.
� Breeds should be chosen to suit local needs and local conditions and resources These factors help to ensure that livestock are more healthy, better able to resist diseases and to provide good yields for the farmer.
� To produce food of high nutritional quality in sufficient quantity.
� To interact in a constructive and life enhancing way with all natural systems and cycles.
� To encourage and enhance biological cycles within the farming system, involving micro-organisms, soil flora and fauna, plants and animals.
� To maintain and increase long term fertility of soils.
� To use, as far as possible, renewable resources in locally organised agricultural systems.
� To work, as far as possible, within a closed system with regard to organic matter and nutrient elements. This aims to reduce external inputs.
� To work, as far as possible, with materials and substances which can be reused or recycled, either on the farm or elsewhere.
� To give all livestock living conditions which will allow them to perform the basic aspects of their innate behaviour.
� To minimise all forms of pollution that may result from agricultural practices.
� To maintain the genetic diversity of the agricultural system and its surroundings, including the protection of plant and wildlife habitats.
� To allow agricultural producers a living according to the UN human rights; to cover their basic needs and obtain an adequate return and satisfaction from their work, including a safe working environment.
� To consider the wider social and ecological impact of the farming system.
The WWF had called upon 60 countries to observe the �Earth-Hour� on 28/03/09 between 8:30 P.M. to 9:30 P.M. at their respective times.
The aim was to impress upon the G-20 summit at London to the growing dangers of Global Warming and take policy initiatives in the appropriate direction.
In India also many organizations participated and Nature Foundation ( India ) an NGO dedicated to these issues participated in the following ways.
3000 e-mails were sent by ANADI SEVA PRAKALP and its volunteers. The message in the email stressed that the real �Dharma� is to cleanse the earth of the Carbon Foot-print and that the recipient should send it just like religious chain-mails further to at-least 10 persons in order to ensure ENORMOUS ECOLOGICAL WEALTH for HIMSELF/HERSELF and HIS/HER FUTURE GENERATIONS.
1000 SMSes were sent exhorting the recipient to observe the �EARTH-HOUR� by putting off lights between 8:30 P.M. TO 9:30 P.M. ON 28/03/2009.
A community programme aimed at spreading awareness was organized at �ANADI SEVA PRAKALP�, PLOT NO 555, SECTOR 21/C FARIDABAD.HARYANA The thrust of the programme was to sensitize the young generation and for this the message of climate change /Global Warming was conveyed through hand puppets.
The programme was a huge success due to this interesting presentation and the children, young and old enjoyed the programme in rapt attention.
A training programme for three days on agriculture modern farming was given by the society at its headquarter, in which they were told how can they get more production from less efforts from their field. New technologies introduced in the country and the farmers of others states were called for the purpose. The officers of Agriculture Department and Agricultural Scientists were invited from the Pussa, Agricultural Science & Research Institute, New Delhi. The farmers of the area appreciated the programme and suggested to organize such trainings in future. Various Programmes of Ministry of Rural Development were also discussed like rural housing, water supply, sanitation, road construction, social forestry, watershed management etc.
The society had planted about 460 saplings on the roads side of Badarpur to Ballabhgarh, Faridabad, Haryana from its own resources. The plants were also distributed among the marginal & small farmers of the area fr ee of cost. They were suggested to keep pollution free atmosphere in the area by planting more trees in and around their localities.
The Handloom Training programme was conducted by society this year and under this programme 60 rural youth were donated wooden looms, to poor and needy people between the age group of 18 to 35 year.

is popularly used to precipitate dissolved scrap gold out of an aqua regia solution and also as a sewage treatment, fertilizers, feed additives, reducing agent, wood preservatives and process engraving.
L-Lysine is the most important amino acid for monogastric species, as it is the first limiting amino acid for pigs and the second limiting amino acid for poultry. AJINOMOTO EUROLYSINE S.A.S. produces and sells L-Lysine in two main forms: L-Lysine HCl 99%: a monochlorhydrate salt of L-Lysine 99%LLB 50: Liquid L-Lysine Base 50%The liquid form (LLB 50), which was launched in 1994 by AJINOMOTO EUROLYSINE S.A.S. to meet the expectations of feed manufacturers, was immediately a great success with clients who appreciated its many advantages.
L-Threonine is the necessary complement of L-Lysine for which it optimizes the use by animals for body protein deposition and weight gain. Moreover, L-Threonine plays an important role in processes of maintenance and, more particularly of digestion. In practice, L-Threonine is the second limiting amino acid in feed for pigs and the third limiting amino acid in feed for poultry.
"L-Tryptophan 98% Feed Grade" is used to supplement feeds in order to meet the digestible tryptophan requirement of animals. It is particularly suitable for young pigs, because it helps to improve feed intake, growth rate and feed efficiency.AJINOMOTO EUROLYSINE S.A.S. has been manufacturing feed grade L-Tryptophan since 2000. To meet the fast growing demand, the company has been regularly increasing production capacities.
L-Valine Feed Grade by AJINOMOTO EUROLYSINE S.A.S. is a major innovation for the animal feed industry. The use of L-Valine in addition to L-Lysine, L-Threonine and L-Tryptophan is a guarantee of efficient feeds in terms of technical and economic performance, and improves animal farming sustainability by reducing nitrogen excreted by animals.
Improve the calcic transport and the deposit of collagen in the bone structure: to guarantee a better stock of calcium, to mobilize all long the productive life of animals.
LAYERS and BREEDERS: Increased of +2% of collected eggs (last 10 weeks of production). Reduction of 30% of downgraded eggs. Better hatchability rate.
BPBROILERS: Better growth and bone structure. Better Feed Intake (+4%). Better bodyweight at slaughter age (+4%) and better uniformity.
SOWS: Easier and quicker farrowing. Reduction of natimortality and mortality at weaning. Better homogeneity and weigh of the litter.
Low doses of narasin and nicarbazin also endure less resistance risk than high-dose, single agent medications.3 And because the low dose doesn't eliminate all coccidia, birds develop natural immunity to the few surviving organisms.
Preventing coccidiosis helps protect intestinal integrity. The bird's body can direct nutrients toward growth rather than fighting diseases. This helps power birds through the critical stages when they face the greatest coccidiosis challenge.
Monteban is an ionophore that prevents coccidiosis, which helps protect intestinal integrity in the starter, grower and finisher feeds. Monteban can prevent subclinical coccidiosis, which can lead to acute outbreaks. Coccidiosis prevention also protects birds from enteritis, a prevalent, costly condition. The global economic impact of coccidiosis due to decreased performance and increased morbidity and mortality is estimated at $300 million.
Hemicell® is an additive that presents endo-1,4-b-mannanase produced by a genetically modified strain of Paenibacillus lentus. This additive is aimed to be used as a feed additive for chickens for fattening/reared for laying, turkeys for fattening/reared for breeding, weaned piglets, pigs for fattening and minor poultry and porcine species.
Aroma and flavor preparation with the scent of fresh butter and vanilla intended for use in compound feeds to improve their taste. It masks the unpleasant odor of some feed ingredients, lures piglets weaned to feed dry food.
Nutritional requirements of modern animal breeds are very high, this together with economic pressures result in the use of raw materials that may often negatively influence the pellet quality of feed. Low quality pellets generate fines which are then recirculated through the pelleting process. This results in reduced production throughput, nutrient reduction due to heat damage and an increase in production cost due to energy inefficiency. Low pellet quality also affects feed intake by animals on farm, which could result in production losses.
During the pelleting process, feed ingredients, in the presence of moisture, react with starch and proteins to form complexes which have adhesive properties. Use of KEMBIND Maxi Dry is a good solution to improve pellet quality when fines and pellet durability are sub-standard. The guar gum in KEMBIND Maxi Dry is a carbohydrate with a high molecular weight from the Guar plant seed. Guar gum hydrates rapidly in the presence of water or steam and cross links with KEMBIND's calcium sulphate to form a gel. This viscous gel binds the feed ingredients well and assists in lubricating the pellet mill die to make a good quality pellet and enhance pelleting efficiency.
Myco CURB is a mold inhibitor for livestock feed, formulated to inhibit mold growth in processed feed ingredients, complete feed and total mixed rations (TMR). Myco CURB contains propionic acid blended with sorbic and benzoic acids and is buffered for improved equipment and employee safety.
KEMZYME Plus is a feed enzyme that combines three different NSP enzymes (xylanase, betaglucanase and cellulase) for the degradation of structural NSP and two different endogenous-like enzymes (amylase and protease) to enhance the action of the enzymes secreted in the GIT.
KEMZYME Plus is a multi-enzyme for poultry and piglets that allows to improve animal performance when used "on top". Additionally, reformulation with KEMZYME Plus nutritional matrix allows to reduce feed cost by replacing more expensive raw materials by others with lower nutritional value and higher fibre content.
The inclusion of a Paradigmox® antioxidant is the most cost-effective solution against the start or progression of the oxidation process, especially in lipids with polyunsaturated fatty acids profile. The high antioxidant activity of Paradigmox can be reached thanks to a specific production process and uniquely designed formulations based on the synergistic effect of polar and apolar antioxidants, plus a metal chelator. All Paradigmox formulas are ethoxyquin and butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA) free, additionally some formulations are also completely free of butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT), enabling a synthetic antioxidant free label.
Paradigmox White Liquid is highly effective in delaying oxidation in vegetable oils at very low inclusion rates. Its efficacy is linearly related with the inclusion rate; therefore you are able to correlate the most effective dose in accordance with your requirements considering storage conditions and time parameters.

Acid LAC™ Liquid Antimicrobial is able to optimize the effectiveness of chlorine, bacterial control and overall handling by farm personnel. Acid LAC™ Liquid Antimicrobial is an EPA-registered product (No. 8596-31) proven safe and effective.
Good water quality is essential to animal health and production performance and is often an overlooked management component. Water quality management needs a program approach, including organic acids and pathogen control in water. With the reduction and/or removal of antibiotic usage in livestock and poultry production, water quality is now taking on an increasingly valuable role. Antibiotic alternatives to water line pathogen control should be considered as management practices change. Providing clean drinking water, through the elimination of bacteria and other pathogens, should be a priority for today's livestock and poultry producers. Acid LAC™ Liquid Antimicrobial provides an effective blend of key organic acids with proven efficacy in the control and inhibition of a broad range of pathogenic bacteria present in livestock and poultry water.

"It's easier said than done" is what I often hear when you talk to someone about showing respect toward another.
"They don't deserve respect" is another think I hear.
Well I've got news for you, respect begins in the home with training up our children in the way they should go and biblically speaking they will never depart from it.
Some of the problem falls on absentee fathers and is up to the single-parent mothers to pick up the slack. Many of them may have come out of the same home life situation and have not been given the tools to deal with properly training up the child or children she has brought into this world.
We teach our children to respect themselves and others; to show honor to their parents and to those who are older than them; to respect and obey teachers, adults and members of law enforcement. Those are the "givens" in life. We are to be living by example (doing the same things) and stepping up when we see someone or something being mistreated. It is good citizenship and what we call being good stewards of the bounty and gifts bestowed upon us by Almighty God.
That doesn't mean that we teach them to be cowards or to cower away from a bully or someone being abusive. If the situation is beyond our control (as many are) we are to report it to proper authorities (school officials, medical professionals or 911.
Without respect you have chaos and anarchy where anything goes is acceptable behavior. It is not.
Children growing up without respecting authority are headed for a life of heartache, sadness and trouble. Parents who fail to teach discipline at home will not be surprised when they find themselves face to face with their failure and with the consequences of their actions (inactions).
When we teach our children to treat others fairly we are giving them tools toward a successful adulthood. We teach them to think ahead and anticipate the consequences of their actions and weigh whether they be good or bad.
Every parent wants what is best for their child. Not every parent knows quite how to make that happen and those who simply say, "It's up to the child to make their own choices" without giving them the proper tools is doing that child a disservice and preparing him/her for a life of failure.
We have each been given access to the "guidebook for life" where the principles of God are plainly given as a pattern for healthy living. That guidebook is called the Bible and it is profitable for all mankind. Whether or not you have access to the written Word of God, it is freely available online in many formats and in many languages and dialects.
Don't let life pass you by without making your decisions based upon the rules of the maker of all things, Almighty God! – I am the Real Truckmaster!

Hotel incident puts focus on carbon monoxide detectors
The Michigan hotel where a suspected gas leak sickened 14 people including a teenage boy who died, was not required to have carbon monoxide detectors.Bryan Douglas Watts, a 13-year-old from Niles, Michigan, died Saturday after he and several guests at the Quality Inn & Suites hotel, were found unconscious around an indoor pool.Fire officials said they believe the cause was carbon monoxide poisoning.Police said, when they arrived, carbon monoxide levels at the hotel were 800 parts per million, according to CNN affiliate WBND-TV. US standards for carbon monoxide are 35 parts per million for a one-hour exposure.Niles Fire Department Captain Don Wise said the hotel's pool room had no carbon monoxide detectors "to the best of our knowledge."According to the Michigan building code, all new buildings constructed after December 1, 2009 must contain carbon monoxide detectors.Existing buildings, like the hotel, had until April 20 to install carbon monoxide detectors -- a date that came hauntingly close to Saturday's incident.The majority of states don't require carbon monoxide detectors in hotels and motels, according to data from the National Conference of State Legislatures.Thirteen states including Michigan, require installation of carbon monoxide detectors in hotels and motels.Carbon monoxide is an odorless, colorless and tasteless gas that is produced when a fuel is burned. When too much carbon monoxide is in the air, it can replace the oxygen in red blood cells and can lead to tissue damage or death.Wise had attributed the weekend's incident to a faulty pool heater."The ventilation system on the heater had issues.

Maitreya: Well, good morning everyone in the Internet and all over the world. Whoever came, thank God that you made it. And whoever didn't come, may God forgive them [laughter].
As usual, this is Maitreya. I will be here for the next two hours as usual, and every week, unless you are informed that I am not around or something. Otherwise I will be here and will be open for any questions or discussion or anything on your mind, we can go ahead and do it.
Anyway, Hi everyone. If you want to say Hi, go ahead.
Rahdah: Sal-Om, to all of you from Quebec.
Ishvara: Sal-Om, Maitreya. Sal-Om to all of you.
Maitreya: Sal-Om Ishvara. Sal-Om Shakti. Sal-Om Rahdah. All of you. God Bless you all and be with you.
As usual I'll open the Satsang for the discussion by giving you the news. I don't know if all of you realize that now all of our material and literature is in HTML. Everyone can just go to the site and read them with the browser. They don't need any other program to read our materials any more. All of them are in that format.
I think that is a good thing because noone has to have a specific kind of a program or anything. If you have a browser, you can go and read our teachings. So I think that is our good news for everyone.
Also we had an e-mail from a person who wanted to join us to the conference today but he says he has a technical difficulty to join us. We are going to go ahead and read his question and then see what we can come up with the answer.
OK. We go ahead with the question and Keyosha is going to read for us what it is.
Keyosha: The question reads: "Respectable Mr. Joseph Emmanuel. I would much long to join today, Saturday 26th of June, the Conference Room where Lord Maitreya will speak, but due to hardware limits I can not. I have followed very deeply and nearly the theological questions of the Apocalyptical time and of the so-called 'return of the Christ.' I have gained the possess of many precious information from many sources, and I have so lately developed some questions which are maybe more refined.., more rarely asked, maybe also harder to be answered.
"The question I would like to make to Lord Maitreya in his conference today is if it is true that the Lord of the Hosts who oversees to Our Universe, that Being usually called 'archangel Michael', will 'descend' on earth during this zodiacal Cancer-period, as announced by Apocalypse 12:5.
"Considering that I'd like to ask this question directly to The Planetary Christ, may I maybe ask you the pleasure to make this question to Him in my name?
"I would deeply be thankful if it was possible for me to be announced about this event, if it will take place in the Cancer-period, as foreseen, or in another period of this year.
"Sincerely, I thank you, if you will bring to Him my humble request, considering my wish and my hardware impossibilities.
Maitreya: OK. Now I have a question for everyone. Does he have any question? Can anyone tell me, does he have a question? Anyone on Internet, do you think he has a question? [no answer] Hello, can you hear me in Internet?
Shakti: Maitreya, it's Shakti. I'll jump in.
Maitreya: OK. Go ahead. Yes Shakti.
Shakti: I'm not understanding about that myself. It seems like he – the bit about certain things, I'm not understanding too much about that myself.
Maitreya: About what? About what you don't understand? [some discussion here about what she said] He's asking if Archangel Michael is going to come down to earth because it's the zodiacal period. That is the question. That is what he wants to know, if I can answer the question if Archangel Michael is going to come down because it's the zodiacal period.
But he also tells me that he already has gathered a lot of information, he already knows a lot, and that the name of the witness entity is Archangel, and because it's a zodiacal period he's supposed to come. OK. So he is telling me that he knows a lot and that entity is called Archangel. There is no discussion about that, no question that his name is Archangel. The only thing is, is he going to come in this period or not.
And my question is, does he have any question? Isaac answered it very well. He said, "No. He is just looking for confirmation." There is no question there. Exactly what Isaac said is correct. He is not looking for an answer.
He is looking for a confirmation. He thinks he already knows. The cup is already filled up. It's full of his own ideas. He thinks he has already found all the information he needs. The name of the witness entity, no doubt about it, is Archangel Michael. And now it's the zodiacal period and he should come. Does he?
If I say, "No," do you think he would accept?
Keyosha: Maitreya, is he saying that Archangel Michael is going to be the Messiah? Is that what he is saying?
Maitreya: Probably that could be also inferred from his writings that he is going to come as the witness entity.
The witness entity is who? God is the Witness Entity. And He cannot come because He is everything. How can He come? Can He come? Can He come to earth and say, "I am everything."? If He comes to earth and says, "I am everything," would He be in the moon anymore. He's on earth only.
So that Witness Entity really is where? It is all over the universe. There is no place that He is not.
OK. Let's accept his assumption that he is called Archangel. He is not because Archangel is just a helper of God, not God Himself. See, God is the Witness Entity not Archangel. Angels are just helpers to the Witness Entity.
Now just assume that He is called Archangel. Then he is the witness entity and he is everywhere and he is a consciousness that is everywhere in the universe. Can he come to earth and say, "I am here only."? He cannot.
That is what the whole base of Messiah and coming of a person as a representative of God comes to us, as we have revealed, that God prophesied the Witness Entity, the Universal Witness Entity that he calls Archangel, prophesied that He would send the Messiah, He will send a person, He will send a human being to earth, or at least He creates a body of a human being which comes to earth and then that Witness Entity, or God, can manifest through him. While He is the witness entity all over the universe, He can come through him and give His Message to humanity and to earth.
So He, as a Witness Entity, doesn't have the ability to come only to earth. The only thing He can do is He can come through a body to us as Christ.
Why should he say that? If he said, "God is Good," it means there is a separation between me and God, isn't it? If I'm not good but God only is Good, it means that I am different than God. So in that moment he is not completely connected so he feels that separation, so he's not good but God is Good.
So we can see that he was a human, as a person, as a man, as a body, but what was behind him, the Spirit behind him was what the Witness Entity was, which is God Himself.
That's why another time he said, "No one goes to the Father but through me," because that is exactly the truth: his message leads us to God.
So we can see the Witness Entity, in the sense of an entity which witnesses all the universe Himself, it's impossible for Him to come and manifest Himself and say, "Here I am." In what shape? In the shape of consciousness? In the shape of a body? In the shape of a person?
Looking at it that way, then we are saying the same thing: The person comes who is connected to the Witness Entity, to the Universal Mind. So we can see that a lot of people have a misconception that God Himself, as a Consciousness, comes to earth as one being, as an entity.
Which is true. That person… All of us are not our bodies. All of us are consciousness. If we realize that, that we are not our bodies, we realize and understand the concept of Messiah that we represent in the Mission.
So his answer really is that the Witness Entity has been here all the time. You don't have to have the zodiacal period to have the Witness Entity come to earth. He is always here. He is always with you. He is you.
So there is no way that you can say that God is not with us, or He is not on earth, or He is not manifested, or He is not here. He is always here. He is with you. He is you.
There is no separation between us and God. The only reason we feel separated is because our egos get in the way and we feel we are different than He is.
So I receive a lot of e-mails like this, that the person already explains to me that they know everything and they really ask for confirmation. And I can't give it to them because I don't believe that what they say is correct. I cannot give them confirmation.
But the answer to his question is that he has to realize our teaching again. He has to go read THOTH. He has to understand what the concept of the Messiah and God is, what is the relationship between God and Messiah is and in this way they can understand the meaning of all those words in the Scriptures.
Of course, if the gentlemen were here, I wouldn't be so direct as I am now, but I would probably very subtly try to make him understand that what he says isn't really what it is. So we have to gently make these people understand that their cup is full. They have to throw the cup away and get a cup empty so we can fill them up.
Well, apparently no one knows. No one knows here in the Mission what it means. I can guess what he means.
As I said, I think in the Theosophical Philosophy and the teaching of Mr. Crème, they believe there is a hierarchy, that they live in the Himalayas. Maitreya is supposed to be the Planetary Christ of this planetary system.
Apparently, not only is there a planetary System, there is probably a Galactic system, the galaxies. Then many galaxies create the region. I don't know how they - - but eventually… So they create a lot of mediators between you and God.
So you don't go directly to God. You have no connection directly to God. You can't do that. If you want to go to God you have to go to the Planetary Christ first and then go to the regional Christ second and on and on, to be able, eventually, hopefully, you make it through many planetary systems to God.
We say, "No. That is not true." You are connected to God directly right now, here. You don't need planetary system. You just need to understand His Words in the Scriptures and go to God directly. You do not need a planetary hierarchy.
But a lot of people, apparently, like that idea of hierarchy. I think it's probably an ego trip because if there is a hierarchy there and a hierarchy here and I'm a big teacher here on earth, so you have to listen to me before you can even go to the planetary hierarchy. But this is not Scriptural.
Again we see this is not Scriptural. The Scripture never, ever, talks about such a thing. It talks about God directly, that you are connected to Him. Even in the Upanishads and the Hindu teaching it says you are God, you are already connected.
How can you have a hierarchy if you're already connected to God? So that is why they believe that Maitreya is the Lord of the planetary system. So it's very important to be very afraid of him and respect him because if you don't you're not going to go any further. No, that's not true.
Our teaching is that God is always with you, always you're connected to Him. The only reason you feel disconnected is because of ego, your attachments to your desires, your wants, and all of that. If you can get rid of them, we have seen many saints, many wonderful realized people, many Sufis, many Cabalists, many people in many religions, they have connected to God directly without the need of such an elaborate hierarchy.
I even read the book of Urantia. If you want a hierarchy, go read that book. It's hierarchy, upon hierarchy, upon hierarchy. After a while I lost it. I said, "No hope for me. I'm never going to get there" [laughter]. So many hierarchies, I have to go through and so many people I have to please before I can even approach the top of the top, which is God Himself.
But there are seven chakras, seven levels of consciousness that we have to go through, and in each of those chakras have tendencies and desires that take you away from God. That is the most important thing. That is why I do not accept the title of planetary Lord, but as a Messenger of God, as a bringer of the Message to humanity.
And I want you to go to God directly. You do not need a hierarchy. You just need to work on yourselves and go to God directly. Destroy all those hierarchies and be a fighter and a warrior of destruction of those crazy ideas that are out there. And don't let your ego gets – say, "Yes, I'm a part of hierarchy. I'm important and everyone else are not." Everyone is important. Everyone has the ability to reach God. The humblest is the greatest and goes to God.
Does it make sense? Isaac, does it make sense?
Isaac: Yes, it makes sense. So he thinks you're probably a disciple of Crème?
Maitreya: He think that I am the Maitreya that Crème is talking about.
Rahdah: Yes, Maitreya, it makes sense.
Ishvara: That makes sense, Maitreya. But where are these Great Souls you were speaking of?
Isaac: I mean, not aren't you but weren't you Crème's Maitreya?
Maitreya: Yes I am, but he doesn't know it [laughter].
OK, I think the question was, then what about those Great Beings that we talk about in the Mission, Paravipras, Elects, and… Where are they? Is that what the question was?
Ishvara: Exactly, exactly. Why are they not now in the Mission?
Maitreya: You are here. [silence] Did he hear what I said [to Isaac, our computer operator]? Did you hear what I said [to Ishvara]?
Ishvara: [something about he couldn't hear] Would you repeat, please?
Maitreya: I said, you are here.
Ishvara: I do not understand exactly the joke, Maitreya.
Maitreya: [laughter] OK. You are saying, where are all the Great Souls that we are talking about? I said that you are here. Rahdah is here. Shakti, and Ma, and Keyosha, and Sarah ji, and Isaac, and me, and all of us are here. These I count as Great Souls, those who are connected to the Mission. And hopefully we will increase, our number will increase. That is what our hope and our inspiration should be to receive the Great Souls and work toward bringing them to the Mission.
Those who are absolutely dedicated to the Mission, see the truth in our teaching, and any time I say something they say, "It makes sense." If it makes sense, it has to be from God. And if it is from God then, as I have said many times, who cares if no one else is in it right now.
But we know that it is from God and it eventually will catch into human consciousness and they will come and take it up and love it.
No it's not. We are the pioneers. We are the first people who are here. But if we understand the teaching and we love the teaching and we accept that it is from God and it is the fulfillment of the prophecies, we don't care too much if there is anyone in it or not, who comes, who doesn't, who joins the conference room or who doesn't.
Actually I'm thinking about not to ask who is in the conference room from now on. The most important to me is that I am here from 10:00 to 12:00. If anyone wants to join, join. Who doesn't want to join, don't join.
If you have better things to do than the Mission, then I don't want you to be here either. If it's not your best thing in the world, it's not number one for you in the world, don't come. Go where your call is. If your call is out of this conference and somewhere else, then go there. That's where you belong because you don't belong here.
This conference is for the people who are dedicated to the Mission and want to know and learn and discuss and get on with the business of the Mission, and on and on.
So the numbers are not important, not a bit. If you are looking for numbers, then you're going to be in trouble, you are not completely dedicated to the idea, but you are dedicated to the number of the people in the Mission.
If the number increases, great! I love it. Number has power, no doubt about it but I am not attached to the number. You shouldn't be attached to the number either. You should be attached to the truth that is revealed through this Mission, and me, and the teaching.
If you are dedicated to that, then you will attract many, many Great Souls. And you are a Great Soul because you are attached to God but you are not attached to the people in the Mission.
Actually, if you study religion, most of the religions are not -- they don't have many numbers in them until they become a religion. As far as the truth, it doesn't have any numbers. The moment it becomes a religion, everyone joins it.
Most Moslems don't have it either. A lot of people in Islam, they're not really dedicated because it didn't start with dedication. Actually, some Christians are more dedicated than a lot of Moslems who claim to be Moslems because they are afraid to say they are not Moslems.
If you say you're not a Moslem then you're an infidel and your blood can be shed with anyone because an infidel is a person who anyone can kill. So that's not a true faith. True faith comes from your heart. And that is why this Mission is an educational Mission. We have to educate humanity to see our truth.
There is so much truth in this Mission. It's amazing. When I was going through the website the other day I was looking at this teaching and what we brought and just look at them. It's amazing how much truth we brought to humanity.
No wonder very few people want to be in this Mission because the more truth, the less people want to be around it. The less truth, the more people want to join.
So you can see that the numbers are not important. Do not be attached to the number. If you are attached to the number then you will go away from this Mission because this Mission is truth. If you are seeking the truth, you will find it. If you are looking for numbers, you'll go somewhere else. So the numbers are not important a bit.
If you cannot reach that point, then you're in trouble. You're going to always say… You'll get very disappointed.
I'm not saying not to get the numbers. That's great. But if numbers means to sell your Soul, don't do it. Keep your Soul and forget about the numbers.
But if you find someone is wonderful and they are very high Souls, they are great, they want to do the Mission, they love the Mission, they want to join us, they want to get on with the work and spread the Message and put it in Internet, put it in a movie, put it in a film, put it in any media that can reach human consciousness, it is great.
We can see that, at least, human consciousness is a little higher now that those kind of atrocities are not acceptable. That is a good sign.
Of course, we have to do it everywhere, if it happened in Africa, if it happened in Asia, if it happened anywhere else also we should defend the human rights and the ability of people to be where they are and wherever they want to live.
Actually, if we ever get to the point that the Kingdom Of God, there is no border between the countries, what is going to happen? You can live wherever you want. If you want to go to live in South Africa, or in the middle of Africa, or in the North Pole, that's fine. You just pack up and you go.
There are no boundaries for you. And when you go there you should be received and accepted as a being. If you have the ability and you can contribute to the community, they would accept you as a person who is respectable and acceptable.
So we can see that the human consciousness is going toward more understanding of human rights and all that thing, but it takes time.
As we said, we are the pioneers. Pioneers are usually very lonely and alone people. They have an idea. They are on fire for the truth. And they will take it and go. And they are not swayed with the little things like the numbers or why Maitreya walks, or why Maitreya talks, or why Maitreya eats, and this and that, why Maitreya is married, why Maitreya is not married, why he has a child, why he doesn't have any, why he has only one child. Abraham had only one child too. That has a reason for it.
So we can see that again it goes to your faith, it goes to your personal decision that is it correct for me or not? If it is correct then who cares if anyone can join us or didn't? If it is not correct, then what are you doing here? You shouldn't be here, you should be somewhere else that the truth is there.
I found that what is in Mission is the highest truth ever you can encounter. I haven't found any faults in it.
And don't be a fault-finder. Don't be negative all the time. Look at the positive part of the Mission. Don't always try to find fault either. But find the positive part of the Mission.
It is the Mission of the opening of the seven seals, the unification of all religions, it's the fulfillment of the prophecies. The very presence of it destroyed an empire, an empire that was 2,500 years of a continuous kingdom.
It was foretold that it would come. The person got on fire, put millions of dollars in the paper to say the coming of the Maitreya. These are positive things that have to come to your Soul, become one with you, and see that what we are doing is an incredible thing that is happening. And God is behind it.
Should we be afraid if one person didn't join, or another person didn't like it, and what we teach is not according to another person's understanding? No. Because we have God behind us and that is all really we need. We don't need people. We need God.
If we are going for the people, we will lose God. If we go for God, we lose a lot of people. Most of the people don't want God, they want their own little egos, little lives, and little house, and little this, and all that. And they do not want to join us and know God.
So if you're true seekers you do not look for numbers and numbers will not affect you a bit. But if you are a seeker of the people then you will lose God. It's really your decision which way you want to go.
I personally will stay with the Mission. I will stay with this teaching. I will preach it, reach out in any way I can. If those Great Souls that I am looking for came, great. If they didn't come, well they will maybe next lifetime.
I'll be back. For a short period I might die and come back as a child and grow up. But I'll be here Saturday at 10:00 after twenty years, or twenty-five years.
Ishvara: Maitreya, you said that the number is not important…..if we want to have the Kingdom Of Heaven On Earth, at least we need to be more than four.
Maitreya: Yes. That is the real "catch 22," isn't it: That we don't care about the people if they come or not, you know the truth, and also we need the people to come to join and do the Mission, and we don't have them. We have not received them yet. And the people we have really are not that "gong ho" about it and the amount of the energy that I would like to see they are putting on the Mission.
But that doesn't concern me because God said that His Kingdom will come, that this is the stone that hits the statue and the statue of this worldly system will be destroyed and be replaced with something that will last forever, at least for 1,000 years.
So again, I have to trust God's Words, not the appearances. The appearances can be very deceptive. You have to create a lot of heart, much more heart than mind. Mind is critical. Mind always asks questions. Mind is negative. Mind wants things that it desires, but heart understands without questioning.
So some of us have a good mind but we have to create more heart. Some have a lot of heart that they have to create a better mind. So we bring a little more balance in ourselves. Then again the question is, which one are you listening to?
The first question is you have to accept that this is the Messiah, this is the teaching of God. This is the revelation that God has predicted and foretold to come. If it is, then who cares if it's two people, four people, or none people. It will happen!
Is it going to happen in this lifetime? Maybe, maybe not. But we believe in many lifetimes and this Mission is huge, it is big. It is incredible. Moving it is not an easy job. So maybe it needs many lifetimes before it starts even moving and starts catching on.
So should I back off of it this lifetime and say, "Wow, this is really big, I can't push it hard, there are not enough people to push it, people are not participating, they are not as dedicated as I would like them to be, they are not really putting effort, they are lazy, they don't want to do what I want them to do." Would I be able to stay so enthusiastic after twenty-three years of saying this over and over and over and over and over, even being criticized, and being called the devil or the anti-christ, and all that?
But I believe in God and His Words. He told me that it is going to happen. That is good enough for me. Is there two people, four people, ten people, a hundred thousand people, it doesn't make a bit of difference to me.
Are they going to come to the conference, or not? Of course, if they come I will be happy. If I see the Mission grows, if I see the numbers created and increases, great. It means it is going to happen faster and earlier than I thought.
I'm willing to give it one hundred lifetimes before it is accomplished. If it did one thousand, fine. I will come here one thousand lifetimes.
So that faith, that acceptance, and seeing the truth in the Mission, and how wonderfully He has fulfilled the prophecies. As I say, even if an empire, two thousand five hundred years an empire, went down the drain six months after this Mission started and fulfilled the prophecy, then you will not be dismayed with the numbers: four, five, ten, twenty, or one hundred. It doesn't make a bit of a difference.
If you are, then you are in the wrong place. Your faith is not strong. You are not really seeking the truth. Then don't criticize the Mission. Don't criticize me. Look at yourself.
There is nothing wrong with the Mission. There is nothing wrong with me. There's something wrong with you.
Look at the truth that is on earth. Look at the revelation that has come. Look at the unification of the religions. Look at the fulfillment of the prophecies. Then you say, "God, take me. I am yours. Use me as you want." Then you will be used and you will be effective.
I got five people. You get five people. The other gets five people. Rahdah gets five people. Shakti gets five people. Those five people will get five people. Believe me it will go so fast, you can't imagine how fast the Mission is going to be fulfilled.
But if you sit on your hands and say, "Oh, no, no, there's only five people, what can we do?" Then it's never going to happen.
So look at yourself, look at your faith and increase your faith, increase your participation in the Mission and do not be attached to the numbers but be attached to God and His Words and His Revelations.
Ishvara: That makes sense, Maitreya, to me.
Shakti: You, my teacher, are the only one who can fill my cup [she is crying]. I give thanks to you.
Maitreya: Yes. Yes, go ahead, Ishvara.
That wouldn't change my point of view. I am sure about what I believe but I feel disease about that one. Do you understand?
Maitreya: Yes. Well, I understand what you are saying. That goes again with the strength of your faith and conviction.
And also, the whole Mission is not the way that it is right now. Remember we have received the Kirtan. We have received the Reminder. The whole idea was when our number increases, the people will go to the street and start dancing and chanting and do the Reminder. The people are going to come and ask, "What are you doing? What group you are in?" And we will reach to the people who are ready for this Mission.
So the way to spread the Mission is not really one by one. I did think -- it does not mean that you should not talk to the people but don't be attached to your family, don't be attached to your friends only, to convert them to your point of view. There are people out there who are ready and willing to be different than the rest and see the truth in our teachings and come and join.
That's one thing. Again, when you are talking to them about the Mission, are you trying to convert them, or are you looking for a confirmation?
If they take it, fine. You say, "OK, God, thank you, you did it. If they leave it you say, "OK, Chow." I go to the next guy, or the next person and talk to him. But if you are looking for confirmation for your lack of faith, then it's going to bother you because they drop you and then they say, "Oh, OK, there's something wrong with this teaching, there's something wrong with this revelation." There's something wrong with my faith. And then, of course, you're going to not receive that confirmation and you are going to feel bad about it. Then your faith is going to be less than it was before you started talking to these people.
If your faith is strong enough that you don't care if they take it or not, then who cares if they didn't take it. Who cares if they think I'm bad?
All my family thought I'm crazy, but not anymore. Not only they don't feel I'm crazy, they feel that I'm more effective than they are. Or my love for my mother and my parents is even greater than those children that live with them all their lives and didn't leave them and come here to start the Mission. Why? It is because my faith is in God. My strength is in God.
And God says you should love, and respect, and help your parents. And we do. You don't do it because they need it, or because you're going to look good, or you feel good. You do it because God said to do it.
God said when you marry you are one in the flesh. And me and Sarah-ji are one in the flesh, not because Sarah-ji wants me to be that way, but because God said it, you should not do adultery or fornication. No, I don't do it because I'm afraid of Sarah-ji not to do it. I don't do it because God said don't do it. It is as simple as that.
If you believe that this is the Mission and God said this is the Mission, and you believe in it, who cares if they think you are crazy? Of course they do. Of course they do.
Don't you think that those people who were following Christ, that the other people didn't think that they were crazy, they were stupid, they were out of this world, that they didn't know what they were doing?
Again, it goes back to your own faith, your own understanding, and your belief. If you believe in it 100% that that's it, again who cares if the other person doesn't accept your revelation, or thinks you're crazy, or your not as good a boy as you used to be?
That is the choice you have to make. You are being a born- again person. A born-again person has a different lifestyle, a different way of thinking. You no longer belong to whomever you belonged to. You belong to a new family. You belong to a new nation. You belong to a new idea. You belong to the truth!
And that's exactly what happened to me. When I was in Ananda Marga I longed to go to Iran. I wanted to go to my family. They were strangers to me anymore. I had grown out of them. I loved them. It doesn't mean that I don't love them anymore. I loved them and I tried to help them and if I ever see them, I would be very friendly to them.
But they are not my family. My family is you. My family is here. My family is in the Mission.
I have said to my father, "You're not my father. My Father is in heaven." He got very upset about it, but that's the truth.
That's how much faith you have to create, that's how much strength you have to have to be able to get a few people interested. If you do not have that strength, of course, you cannot be able to attract anyone. And they will think you are crazy and after a while either you believe you are crazy or you're going to lose your faith and go away from the Mission. They are going to take it away from you.
So yes, you have to be a very strong person, very strong and great faith of the truth you have received. You are standing against the whole world. If you don't, the world is going to get to you.
That's why I said it is up to you. I'm just giving you the truth. I can't even save my son. I can give him my truth but if he chooses to go to the world, that's it. That's it, the world got him.
If you choose to go to the world, that's fine. The world got you. I'm not going to come after you and try to… I will if you still have the potential. I would come, like a sheep that is lost, I will leave the other sheep and come after you and try to get you back to the fold. But if the wolf got you, and eats you, and tears you up and eats you up, what can I do? It's too late, the wolf got you.
That's why I put so much effort in each of you to understand this strength. I put so much effort on each of you to come to the fold and realize that that's where you belong. If you want to go, I'm going to put effort for you not to go, but if you reach a point that you are beyond help, I'm going to let the wolf eat you. That's it! The end of being the sheep.
But it's not going to affect me. It used to affect me in the beginning when I started the Mission and the people would go away. It would really bother me that, Why? There is so much truth in this Mission, why they can't see it?
Still I question sometimes, "Why can't you see, there's so much truth in this revelation?" Why can't they see it? But I have realized that there are people who can't. Simply, they cannot see it. And there are other things that catch them.
So all of you here, I appreciate your being here but I believe that you are the seeker of the truth and that because you want the truth you are here.
I'm not going to create a cult. I'm not going to put trips on you and keep you in the fold for a while and later on it falls apart and then all of us suicide and kill ourselves, or those stupid things that happen to a cult.
That is not the way it is here. It is from God. It is the truth. It's not a cult mentality. I'll let you go if you want to go. I'm not going to persuade you or hold onto you and put a trip on you and keep you here.
If you want to be here, you want to be here by yourself. If you don't want to be here, go. And if you find something better, come and tell me. We'll come and join you. But I doubt it. I doubt that you can find anything better in the universe than the Mission that we brought to humanity.
But if you went there and you didn't find it and you came back, you're always welcome. You always are the prodigal son, and you can come back to this Mission. But be strong when you come back.
So again it's your decision. Again, again, I'm coming back to the same thing. It depends on your faith. It depends on your decision.
Maitreya: Apparently Surf and Call, after 10 minutes [Isaac saying something here but can't hear it]. OK. After ten minutes our connection is disconnected or something.
Anyway, the answer again really comes back to: What is your decision? Do you like this Mission? Do you think that it's the truth? Do you want to help it? Do you believe that it is from God? Do you believe that what I say is true? Then you have to create a stronger faith.
We do not expect you to create the strong faith in a year or two, three or four, that's fine. But after seven years, I expect a lot from the people who stay in the Mission for seven years. I believe that after seven years if they don't get it, then it's very hard to get it anymore.
So in a way you are a little child yet, Ishvara. We stay with you and pamper you for a while [laughing] and help you out in the process. We understand your situation. We have gone through it ourselves, all of us here in the Mission. Sarah-ji is shaking her head, and probably Ma and Keyosha also.
Especially them, after being here for such a long time. If they desire to go, actually I facilitate their going because after all this long time if still they have a desire to leave the Mission, then they should go, actually. They shouldn't be here.
I'm absolutely adamant not to accept or persuade anyone who doesn't want to be in the Mission.
I need the people who want to be in the Mission, who want to do a good job. When they give me their promise, I count on them. I want the people that when they say something, I know it's done. I don't have to worry about it. When they say they will do something I say, "OK it's going to get done and it's going to get done fast." Not in a couple of weeks, or a month, or two months. They say they are going to do it. I say, "OK, do it." And I expect that to be done right away.
So that's the people I'd like to be in the Mission. Otherwise, this Mission is not going to go anywhere. It's going to become another cult and I'm not interested in creating cults.
I dropped my life for it and I think I would have been in a much better worldly position if I had continued with what I had started in my life. But I didn't start this Mission to create a cult. I am not interested in a cult. I'm interested in the truth and I'm interested in the people who are strong enough, with great faith, and who want to be in the Mission. They don't put any trip on me and I don't put anything on them. We work together to establish this truth on earth.
So evaluate your situation to see how much you want to be in the Mission, how much do you want God and the truth? And don't be swayed or persuaded by humanity out there. If you are still affected by the other people, then look at yourself.
Don't start criticizing the Mission. That is one thing I have seen the people do. Because they are not strong enough to stand that pressure from outside, they start criticizing and finding fault in the Mission so they can justify themselves to go away.
That's fine. If you want to do it that way, that is your choice. But there is nothing wrong with this Mission. There is nothing wrong with what we do here. And if you want to find fault, as I have said, look at yourself.
But if you want to criticize the Mission and go away, that's fine. You can do that but that's not true. It's just an excuse not to blame yourself but blame someone else for your lack of faith.
So evaluate your situation. See how strong you are, how strong your faith is. How much do you really believe in this Mission? If you don't, then fine.
I do. I believe in this Mission and I'm going to stay with it until the end. If anyone wants to stay with it then you have to create that kind of stubbornness that I have [laughing].
Ishvara: Maitreya, you speak very, very quickly for me. I understood a bit.
Maitreya: Understand a bit? [Isaac trying to explain what Ishvara said] Well, if you want we can send a tape of this to Radah, and Rahdah you can either explain it to him… I don't know, it was a long, long Satsang. I don't think that we can explain the whole thing right now. But if you can, we can send a transcript to you so you can translate it for him?
Ishvara: It's a very good idea, Maitreya. Very good idea.
Maitreya: It's twelve o'clock and we leave you with God. Let's all pray for each other. Let us pray for those whose faith is not as great as ours. May our prayer help them and may they create a strong faith and join us whole-heartedly, 100%.

The leak also confirms that the Galaxy S10e will ship with a 5.8-inch fullHD+ (2280 x 1080) AMOLED display (Gorilla Glass 5), while the Galaxy S10 and S10+ will include QHD+ (3080 x 1440) AMOLED displays (Gorilla Glass 6), and their sizes will be 6.1 and 6.3 inches, respectively. The teaser video also reveals that the Samsung Galaxy S10 will come with an nearly bezel-less display and thankfully there will be no notch or cut-out anywhere.
The phones will be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 processor, while the global market variant, which will come to India as well, will have the Exynos 9820 processor on board. For selfies, the Galaxy S10 will sport a 10-megapixel (f/1.9) camera.
But still, taking them at face value it means that the Galaxy S10w will have a smaller 5.8-inch Full HD display, the hole-punch camera Infinity O display with 10MP camera, a side fingerprint scanner (not one of the fancy in-display ones), a dual 12MP and 16MP camera array, an Exynos 9820 chipset, and a pretty small 3,100 mAh battery with wirelesss battery sharing. Otherwise, it will have the same storage configurations as the Galaxy S10. For the Galaxy S10e, it comes with an additional Canary Yellow option, while the 12GB RAM Galaxy S10+ is offered only in Luxurious Ceramic Black and Ceramic White. Samsung Galaxy S10+, Galaxy S10, and Galaxy S10 Lite (or S10E) are the three devices expected in the new flagship range. There's also a rear-mounted fingerprint sensor for added security.
Meanwhile the S10 and S10+ will upgrade to their respective 6.1-inch and 6.3-inch QHD+ displays made from the stronger Gorilla Glass 6. The first teaser reveals that the Galaxy S10 will come with reverse wireless charging support.
The dual front-facing cameras are believed to complement three more camera sensors on the rear of the phone.
The launch would be Apple's latest push to grow its services revenue with a goal of hitting $50 billion (R687 billion) by 2020. Apple is reportedly taking a hard line with publishers during its negotiations for a proposed news subscription service .
The latest pictures also appear once again to suggest Samsung will be ditching that rotating bezel for its next smartwatch. Samsung will add AR Emoji feature, Live focus, zoom, color point, and spin effect in the camera on the software side.

Mojang's fight to retain the name for their upcoming fantasy card trading game will go to court. It's the result of a legal challenge made by Bethesda earlier this year claiming that the word "Scrolls" infringes on their The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim trademark. Notch cheerily announced the news earlier on Twitter .
"The Scrolls case is going to court! Weee! :D"
Notch's first assumption that "this is hopefully just lawyers being lawyers" doesn't seem entirely true in the light of a looming court case. It seems that Bethesda are very serious about getting Mojang to change the name of their new game. It could set a worrying precedent, and certainly screw over the scribe-sim I'm currently working on, The Elder Elders: Scroll of Scrolls (V). If only this lawsuit could somehow all be settled with a game of Quake 3 .


Once again, Wild Thing appears just about the time we give up on our collective imagination, sealing the fate of the session.
It was the hat that did it.
Karen and I won this CD (and many more!) for best costume at the release party at Egans.
2 uh oh nervous helicopters - hide!
Such sensitive touch! Now I want to try playing this on my clavichord.
While Karen and Neal were rehearsing YMSK I tried out the freshly batteried pickup of the guitar that walked over the other day, in four track glory. This may be my best route to learning to play the thing.
Imagine your quest is to learn our solar system and everything in it one particle at a time. The number of particles, or in this case of combinations of the 88 keys of the piano, is the quantity expressed in base 2 by a sequence of 88 ones. A very large quantity indeed. It is so large, in fact, that this piece, this quest, in its entirety, can't be heard. It is, as an entirety, or even as a significant enough portion to grasp as a portion, completely and essentially inaudible - as absolute a silence as can be imagined.
We start with some rhythm modules that ease into sudden songs: Under the Stars, and Can't Play th'Trumpet. But by the end, between Neal's blown-out speaker (dubbed 'the speaker of the house') and craziness with the microphones, the session sounds like the machinery of civilization recording itself being chewed to pieces by a planet sized troll.
25 years later, subtle shifts of flora map a forest floor.
I was put in mind of J.K. Randall's bias against "Perfunctory Propulsion". These phrases don't interleave in graceful subversion of meter (like Bach), or balance in delightful conversation (like Mozart). They whip like pennants in a stiff breeze. Until suddenly they don't and they are fountains frozen solid. Until suddenly they are filigree or crickets or calculus.
I was six, so I must have been in one of these choirs.
This tape ended up being a distillation and summary of several strategies that had been worked out in previous sessions. We started with sudden songs, notably Neal's first cover of Aaron Keyt's This Bus Won't Stop For Me, immediately preceded by the instructions "Enthusiasm, idealism, and a forthright approach". After we did that for a while we found ourselves in channel separation mode, Neal in the left speaker making tiny sounds and me in the right speaker with a guiro. Moving then to spoken word play (" . . . think slowly stop between each word . . . "), high birdlike feedback intrudes, at first masquerading as whistling then boldly chirping. We take a high banking trajectory into a crazy, off place. Neal ends in self-referential mode, softly repeating "this is what I call a quiet tape" over and over to the cut. It certainly has some lame moments, but is mostly quite listenable.
Performed on what I believe is a small harpsichord: not one of those orchestral multi-manual behemoths, but a private, residential sized instrument.
For many, it just isn't Christmas without The Messiah. O what a difference italics make! The theological thrust of the work is focused on Christ the King, as one would expect when royal hierarchies were the only show in town. At our historical remove this comes across as far more flattering to kings than illuminative of Christ.
Demo for an upcoming album project.
The sectionals, especially those that Neal and I did during this period, were not so much sessions of free-improvisation as they were freely-improvised workings out of ideas of things to do with which to fill up sides of tape. On the plate for this was a continuation of the sudden song project. Texts used include a Heine poem and coin-toss-chosen phonemes from John Rahn's Lines Of And About Music. In the middle Neal launches into a spirited acoustic rendition of Wild Thing, which gesture in subsequent sessions became a reflex go-to subject changer. In this case I can't say that the subject changed from was all that spectacular - we were once again driving lameness firmly into the dirt - but it was never about being spectacular, and working steadfastly at sticking points often leads to amazing places otherwise unreachable. Changing the subject comes across as a defense mechanism for avoiding discomfort, and veering into a groove, specifically, approaches social manipulation. You can join the fun or you can be a grump. But if neither fun nor grump is where you're at you're stuck. There is no room to maneuver into elsewhere. You just have to wait it out.
Haydn is so gracious with the what of where he is, and with the spaces between. He does not move along to satisfy moving, but to provide a vantage of a new what, at a precise remove.
They'd fit in quite well here in Seattle. Surf-rock self-parody. You'd almost think Kurt Bloch was involved. I have to say their cover of I Got You Babe made my jaw drop.
In anticipation of the impending 2-hour public performance of Gradus on December 14th, (Chapel Performance Space, Good Shepherd Center, Seattle, 8pm) Gavin Borchert came over to hear a 1:3 scale model preview. Of the three rungs to be performed, the first two differ sharply in the quantity of pitches present. I was struck, hearing them in such close proximity, by how perversely bereft the more pitch loaded rung was in timbral richness, as though the sharp point of palpable sound was obscured by a haystack of figuration, however attenuated that figuration might be. It made me wonder to what extent we compose in order to hide the actual in favor of the conceptual.
If each band's set were successive acts of a chamber opera the evening's dramatic arc would be distinctly Schumannesque, Florestan to Eusebius, centering focus to a single point, to a single low thwung on guitar, to a single attitude of neck, to a single sung note carrying all.
Or, as root context trajectory: From (Dead Bars) street music doo wop girl group deep ground punk, similar ur-milieu to the Ramones, but from longer back now and un-admixed with keep-your-distance up-yours attitude, all joy and hopping, the sheer noise a naked mask to bare confession behind; through (Swearin') a mid-ground to brake the tempo down, twisting chromatic bass lines (you know, for us music nerds), filling the dragon with fire of ride and crash, as though Velvet Underground were jamming with Red Ribbon; to (Waxahatchee) where it all boils in the end, blues at its most minimal, somewhere far out near Star Anna's constellation, in the nebulae of Whitney Ballen and Jonathan Richman, at the edge of, as we leap.
The spirit of the age is scholarly and impatient of the performance practices of our Romantic forbears. For better or worse, it is no longer the time to blithely play old music on modern instruments in the assumption that, the new instruments being improvements upon the old, all the music played upon them is improved thereby. I'm not a baby-and-bathwater idealist in this regard - I will cling to Milstein playing the Sonatas & Partitas and Richter's WTC and much beside - but there is plenty to be said for the clarifying decrustification possible on replica instruments, and for the imaginative delights unleashed by impromptu embellishment. Ms. Schornsheim plays this early Sonata on a harpsichord, taking every repeat as an opportunity for gloriously transformational ornament.


Province Sports Radio: What's the Canucks 2016-17 narrative going to be?
Casual Tuesday this week is all about the Canucks, the Canadians, the Blue Jays and Lacrosse.
Last year it was about being a playoff team while doing a reset with the kids.
This year…well that's an open question.
Patrick Johnston and Steve Ewen are back — it's a Casual Tuesday after all.
There's also Blue Jays and Canadians and Lacrosse to consider.


In life there are many places you must go and see... and Chatsworth House has to be one of them.
Why? Well, first and foremost it's got that wow factor from the moment you see it and, secondly, it's just packed full of so much to see, admire and remember.
You can take the kids – after all there's a farmyard and adventure playground – but it was our wedding anniversary so we thought we'd do something a bit special. And this was special from start to finish.
Chatsworth is 10,000 acres of sweeping pastures, trees, copses and woods. Although a natural look that seems like it's been that way for centuries there was a lot of thought and planning put into it by landscape architect Capability Brown who transformed it in the 1700s. He was certainly well capable.
And then you get the first glimpse of the house, gold windows glinting in the early autumn sun. It lives and breathes history and grandeur and, with the unstoppable success of dramas such as Downton Abbey, who doesn't want to go through the keyhole to get not only inside but to travel back to another age?
Chatsworth has been owned by generations of the Cavendish family stretching back hundreds of years and the hotel on the edge of the grounds is, unsurprisingly, called the Cavendish. That's where we stayed in wonderful style. Think of the hotel as almost an extension of the house. Even the bath towels were the height of luxury – that wrapped-up-in-cotton-wool feeling – along with the fine dining.
You'll have starters such as mosaic of corn-fed chicken and ham knuckle followed by mains including venison from the estate, oven-roasted sea trout and rack of lamb with red pepper purée.
A nice touch was the fact that you can eat breakfast up to noon – so have a walk first, to build the appetite.
The view from the terrace looks across fields towards the estate and it takes around 20 minutes to walk to the house through parkland teeming with deer, sheep and squirrels.
It's fair to say that Chatsworth is geared up for the visitor with no shortage of cafés and restaurants but they are not intrusive, with most tucked away in the massive stable block and all have been renovated to a high standard.
But it's also a not inexpensive day out with adult tickets to the house and garden £22 on top of the £3 car parking charge.
Take away the running costs – which must be huge judging by the number of staff needed to run the place – then the rest is ploughed back into a charitable trust that runs it and is constantly renovating and maintaining.
Even current owner, the Duke of Devonshire, and his family are now tenants in their own home. It'll take you a full day to properly appreciate the house and gardens.
There's not an inch on the walls and most of the ceilings that isn't worth a close inspection. Fan of cherubs? You'll find masses of them in the ornate, predominantly religious ceiling artwork and then there's everything from wallpaper and tapestries from hundreds of years ago to ceramics, art, furniture, soft furnishings, highly complex carvings on the wood panelling... the history goes on and on.
But where Chatsworth is different is that it's now worked in the modern with a display of contemporary chairs from those made out of coal (yes, coal) to others that look like a wall tapestry that you can perch on, and a couple that resemble huge drawing pins.
So there's no shortage of somewhere to rest awhile, but sit on some at your peril. Outside, Sotherby's had put on a vast exhibition of alternative sculpture – called Beyond Limits – and it was certainly that as it included the likes of work by Barbara Hepworth and Anthony Caro all over the grounds.
All of it is for sale if you have a few thousand quid spare and an unfeasibly large garden. And if you've ever hankered after an allotment or turning part of your garden into something resembling 1970s sitcom The Good Life then go to Chatsworth kitchen garden and see how they grow everything from apples to corn, marrows to onions. Now, that's as much a work of art as everything else about the place.
We were away from home for 30 hours yet it seemed so much longer. These mini-breaks aren't half worth doing.
■ Andrew Hirst stayed at Chatsworth as a guest of the Cavendish. A one-night stay at the Cavendish with room, breakfast and evening dinner is £329 per couple in a standard double room and there are good deals to be found at www.cavendishhotel. net on seasonal promotions, multiple night deals and late availability.

2016 Edition of the Samsung Galaxy J5 surfaces in India
Even though the current Galaxy J5 has only been on the market for a little more than six months, its 2016 edition is already in testing in Samsung's R&D facilities in India.
Once again, it is the import database Zauba that confirms the existence of a new device. According to it, a Samsung phone with codename SM-J510 has arrived in the country for the usual test procedures. Very few details of the device are revealed, though the display of this Galaxy J5 (2016) appears to be of the 5.2 -inch variety, which is 0.2-inch larger than that of its predecessor.
Recently, we saw a comparable size bump in the Galaxy A5 (2016). Not only is the 5.2-inch display in that device larger than the 720p screen in the original Galaxy A5, it also features a higher 1080p resolution. Still, since the J series are considerably cheaper than the A series, it remains to be seen if the Galaxy J5 (2016) will come with a similar increase in pixel count.
It will probably be a while before Samsung actually launches this Galaxy J5 revamp, but at least we've now seen confirmation of its existence.
