In today’s news, India receives funding from World Bank to assist vulnerable communities, researchers suggest there may be life on one of Saturn’s moons, socially responsible Colombian company creates food service items from plants, scientists discover huge detached reef in Coral Sea, vegan activists open animal sanctuary in United Kingdom, German brand launches wheat-based vegan chicken fillets, and solar-powered vending machines in Turkey accept empty bottles and feed stray dogs.
World Bank supports second phase of India’s pandemic response.
The government of India has received a US$400 million credit toward social assistance for disadvantaged and vulnerable individuals impacted by COVID-19. In May of 2020, an initial advance of US$750 million enabled the country to upscale its existing emergency relief programs. The latest project will help expand the national social safety net by providing nutritional and financial aid to households, migrants and informal workers. State governments will also have more flexibility to allocate resources in proportion to the number of people infected with the coronavirus, thereby enhancing community protection in urban areas. India is a Shining World Leadership Award for Compassion recipient. Our delighted appreciation, World Bank and the government of India! With your wise and generous assistance many precious lives will gain comfort and hope, in Heaven’s elevating grace.
Hydrogen in lunar ocean may be supporting microorganisms.
Among Saturn’s many moons, Enceladus is the sixth largest at about 500 kilometers in diameter. Although it is encased in ice, NASA’s Cassini spacecraft discovered continuous eruptions of ice water particles and gas from cracks in the frozen surface. Scientists at Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) in Texas, USA, have analyzed Cassini’s data about the emissions and determined that Enceladus may have the ingredients needed for life. The presence of silica and molecular hydrogen suggests the existence of a global ocean under the ice with hydrothermal vents in the seabed. Factoring in heat from the core, the researchers’ chemical modeling points to the possibility of anaerobic microbes living in the water. Future exploration will be needed to understand how such a small celestial body could be sustaining living beings. Good work, SwRI researchers! In Heavenly splendor, the wonders of the Providence truly never cease.
Up next, socially responsible Colombian company creates food service items from plants. We’ll take a moment to thank the thermal engineers who design systems to convert heat into chemical, mechanical or electrical energy, depending on a project’s requirements. Please stay tuned to Supreme Master Television for more giving news.
Hallo, nice friends, I’m Marilyn the vegan Proboscis Monkey. My body thanks me every day. Do you know why? Because I give it only plant-based fuel. Do your body a favor and go vegan! If you have animal companions, here are some tips on maintaining their accessories. For anything that is seriously stained, soak it overnight in a solution of 8 parts water to 1 part baking soda. Be sure to close all buttons and zippers on clothes and sweaters to prevent snagging in the washing machine. Protect small and delicate items by putting them in a mesh bag. Also, choose a hypoallergenic liquid detergent that is gentle enough for babies. Harsh chemicals, perfumes and dyes can cause discomfort for your four-legged friends. When the wash is done, it’s best to air-dry their clothing to prevent shrinkage from a high-heat dryer. Finally, make sure anything your furry angels are going to wear is completely dry before you put it on them. Love you for Being Veg and Going Green 2 Save the Planet for all humans and us all co-inhabitants. Thank you for watching. And now, the weather around the world.
Eco-minded entrepreneurs make tableware that will germinate in the ground.
Colombian green-collar enterprise Lifepack was co-founded by Claudia Barona and her husband, Andres Benavides, with the idea of using agricultural remnants to make food service items. Their latest innovation is plates made from shredded pineapple tops and recycled paper. The product is not only biodegradable - reducing plastic waste, but also has the ability to generate life by sprouting into new pineapple plants when given soil and water. Similarly, the company manufactures sandwich containers and coffee cup sleeves using inedible bits of rice and corn plus cilantro, amaranth and strawberry seeds. Since Lifepack started over 12 years ago, environmental awareness in Colombia has grown, and the demand for sustainable packaging has increased by 40%. Way to go, founders and employees of Lifepack! May your enlightened business model inspire others to join the movement toward circular economies.
Underwater robot explores seabed and finds unknown reefs.
Researchers from Schmidt Ocean Institute in the United States traveled to the waters off North Queensland, Australia, to map the oceanscape of the northern Great Barrier Reef. Using a remote-controlled machine named SuBastian, the team live-streamed footage of their exploration and were surprised to see a 500-meter coral structure. It is taller than the Empire State Building, and the first detached reef to be discovered in more than 120 years. Its base measures 1.5 kilometers across and then it rises to within 40 meters of the water’s surface. Seven other tall and detached reefs are located in the area, including the one that underlies Raine Island, known for its green sea turtles. We applaud your discovery, Schmidt Ocean Institute! Your important work reminds us to respect our wondrous planetary home and preserve it for generations to come.
A dream comes true for activists and animals.
In 2018, members of the animal rights group Surge started an eatery in London, United Kingdom, called Unity Diner. Their goals were to show people how tasty plant-based food can be and raise money for a nature reserve. Owing to the success of their business, the Surge team – led by Shining World Compassion Award recipient Ed Winters, also known as “Earthling Ed” – has now purchased more than 7 hectares of open fields in the Midlands of England. The haven is called Surge Sanctuary and already has some four-legged residents who are enjoying newfound lives free from fear and exploitation. There are also plans for using part of the land to grow organic produce and build a vegan education center. Our loving gratefulness, Ed Winters and all Surge members, for walking the talk and doing something meaningful for the animals. Your efforts are surely hastening the arrival of World Vegan, World Peace, in Celestial celebration.
Coming up, German brand launches wheat-based vegan chicken fillets. We will take a moment to think about changes we can make to reduce single-use plastics – like switching to reusable shopping bags, food containers, straws and bottles. More beneficial news when we return! Please stay with us here on Supreme Master Television. Welcome back to Noteworthy News - Distinguished News for a Prosperous World.
Meatless chicken alternative debuts in Europe.
Loryma is a German brand of wheat-based ingredients that optimize texture, flavor and stability in factory-made food. The company has developed its own vegan chicken fillets called Lory Tex Chunks, which can be cut into strips, nuggets, slices or cubes. Such ready-to-eat fare has gained popularity as more people prepare meals at home. Loryma’s proprietary binding systems, breadings, and brine additives are being used to create other convincing meat substitutes while textured wheat proteins boost nutritional value and extend shelf life. In an interview for Food Ingredients First, an online publisher covering the industry, the managing director of Loryma, Henrik Hetzer, observed, “Plant-based food altogether is constantly rising as the urgent need for an ecological balance has very much come into the public consciousness.” A promising development, Loryma! We pray that you will help take animals off the menu for good, in Divine mercy.
Organization installs recycling machines that provide nourishment for animals.
In 2014, a Turkish conservation group called Pugedon unveiled a solar-powered apparatus that would release food and water for stray dogs in exchange for empty plastic bottles. The “MamaMatik” debuted on the streets of Istanbul, which is still home to large numbers of stray cats and dogs. When lockdowns were imposed to curb the spread of COVID-19, four-legged wanderers across Turkey were deprived of the edible offerings they used to get from kindly citizens. Pugedon stepped forward and started installing more of the automatic vending units – 55 in Istanbul and 20 in other provinces so far. Mehmet Akay, chairman of the organization, explained, “Our main purpose here was to engrain an environmental awareness and love for animals, especially among our youth and children.” Our heartfelt applause, Pugedon, for your caring response. May all Earthlings be sustained and content, in the overflowing love of Allah.
The last joke might not be your type. We have searched everywhere for a better one – here it is. Please laugh! It’s entitled, “Learning to Fly.”
Baby bird Belle fell out of her nest and suddenly learned how to fly. As she was exploring the neighborhood, she dipped down too low and flew into the visor of a motorcyclist. The rider took pity on the unconscious fledgling and brought her to a veterinarian. An hour later, Belle regained consciousness and found herself lying in a veterinary holding. Recalling the accident, she became very worried and thought:
“Oh no! I’ve been put in jail for injuring a motorcyclist!”
And now we have a heartline from M. in the United Kingdom:
Dear Supreme Master Television team, Since learning of your mission just prior to 26 April, 2020, I have been joining you in 30 minutes of meditation every Sunday at 1 pm GMT – Greenwich Mean Time (2 pm BST -British Summer Time), praying for the vision of a Vegan World. I would like to share with you how effective I feel this practice has become and to urge you to continue it until our goal is achieved.
Over the last four months (during which we have, of course, seen an almost worldwide lockdown due to the COVID-19 pandemic), there has definitely been a surge in interest in the vegan lifestyle globally (and in particular, here in the UK), as I have reported in my blog. Vegetarianism and veganism have now gone mainstream, and the trend is predicted to continue unabated. Meat and dairy production are declining, despite their proponents desperately trying to save their cruel and unnecessary industries, and we are now seeing farmers switching to much more ethical and sustainable activities. Even countries that were traditionally very carnivorous are now seeing a massive rise in plant-based food production systems. I have a strong feeling that our weekly prayer has played a major role in these developments.
On a personal note, I should explain that I have also seen a very significant change. As an almost lifelong vegetarian who started switching to a fully vegan lifestyle just a few months ago, I have been struggling with the fact that my wife is a meat-eater who – while grudgingly accepting my vegetarianism over the last 30+ years – objected quite strongly to my intention to go vegan. Yet, since I began sharing your weekly “Pray for World Vegan,” I have seen her attitude moderate to a degree that I would have hardly believed a few months ago. She is now able to discuss veganism with me calmly (I might almost say, acceptingly), whereas previously she would react strongly to even the mention of the word “vegan!” While conversion of her to a vegan diet (or even to a vegetarian one) may still be a distant prospect, I am so grateful that she no longer objects to my adoption of veganism and even tries to assist me with the same. I truly believe that it is the weekly meditation that has brought this change about.
I want to thank the Supreme Master for Her initiative, which I believe is making real positive changes in our world, and to reassure Her that I will be continuing to share in the weekly meditation until our vision of a fully vegan world is achieved. Sincerely, M. from the United Kingdom
Supportive M., We are delighted to read your report on the progress to a vegan world and hear of the growing family support at home. It is a blessing beyond words that so many people from all corners of the globe are actively helping end the animals’ suffering through plant-based lifestyles. We pray that many others will soon join Master in praying for World Vegan to accelerate the shift to planetary vegan living. May Heavens forever shine on you, your wife and the considerate people of the United Kingdom, Supreme Master TV team
P.S. Master also says: “Trusting M., thank you for your note. The power of the World Vegan prayer is immeasurable because it’s backed by Heavens, Saints and God Power. Now we have also added a prayer time on Thursdays to help hasten the creation of a more loving atmosphere on our planet. The vegan lifestyle awakens in us the power of God Mercy, and that power is a mighty force that will benefit and protect us as well, and of course would protect our world. Thank you for a helping hand. If outside we go vegan, and inside we strengthen our spiritual force with God’s power by meditation, then we are safe and sound. It’s logical. Sure, our Meditation helps the world, but we are the ones benefited first. God’s love to you, your loved ones and honorable Britain.”
