Emotions are crystal clear.

Emotions are crystal clear


Dr Masaru Emoto, a Japanese water expert, explains how crystals can respond to the human mind and soul _ sometimes in astonishing and disturbing ways.

 Masaru Emoto says water is the "mirror of humans; it knows everything!" Dr Emoto was addressing an audience during his visit to Bangkok to present his theory on water and its relationship with humans.
He says the core of his theory lies in how the formation of crystals can be influenced by human feelings and ideas.
While positive words and ideas will bring about pretty, clear and delicate patterns, negative expressions will produce irregular, even ugly crystals.
For example, a glass of clean water attached with a piece of paper that reads "family love" will form a half-transparent hexagonal crystal with a clear, delicate pattern. It is double-ringed. The inside hexagonal pattern is complete and regularly-formed while the outside one has a small breach at one of its sides.
However, a glass of water with a piece of paper that reads "9-11 air crash in America" will result in a yellow, putrid crystal with an unclear pattern.
But not only written words can influence their formation. Verbal expressions, music or video, even long-distance meditation can also influence water crystals in a similar way, as exhibited by all the 20,000 pictures Dr Emoto showed to his audience.
For example, if you shout at a glass of water: "I hate you" or "I will kill you" it will result in an ugly crystal with irregular forms, an exact reflection of human beings' uneven inner world.
Dr Emoto has studied water and crystals for more than 17 years. To make water crystals, he freezes a sample of water and stores it in a freezer at a temperature of -25C for three hours. He then removes the sample from the freezer and observes it under a microscope fitted with a camera, in a room with a constant temperature of -5C.
The expert established his own "office of water missionary" in Tokyo and is chairman of the International Hado Membership Association. He published a series of books on water and its crystals in different languages.
In one of his books, Message from Water, Dr Emoto writes water can listen, see, read and remember. It has life; knows everything!
His exhibit of more than 20, 000 pictures of water crystals can serve as good evidence. Those pictures are collected by his team through numerous experiments. All of them are blown up 200-500 times larger than the real objects.
Dr Emoto's lecture in Bangkok was arranged by Crystalion, a Singapore-based company focusing on promoting water-oriented facilities.
"We all know water is in everything: animal, plant, human, all forms of life. But we didn't realize the essence of water until Dr Masaru Emoto's theory came out," Crystalion chairman Vincent Seet said.
Dr Seet said the crystal theory was meaningful to Thailand as His Majesty the King is an expert in farming in which, water played a significant role. That means the King is very much into water which would definitely benefit his people.
"Thai people love His Majesty the King," said Dr Emoto who puts "Love & Thanks" as a slogan of his water missionary office. "Such a continuous, sincere faith indicates a great leadership and will generate huge, good power in water and thus greatly benefit Thai people."
In fact, the two words stand for the most important values in the world and also the theme of Dr Emoto's numerous public events worldwide.
One of those events was in 2005 when he was invited by the United Nations to present his discovery in New York.
But the world-renowned expert on water has kept a low profile.
He would sit in a corner of the presentation hall and have dinner quietly. No one would notice him until he is introduced to his audience.
However, when explaining how water would respond to people's positive words or ideas, he would sing the Edelweiss to a standing microphone, wearing a loving expression.
"Small and white, clean and bright, you look happy to meet me." The lyrics appeared on a video screen showing a dozen water crystals of snow-like appearance. They looked similar to each other; all of them were beautiful with clear hexagonal pattern.
As controversial as it may seem, Dr Emoto's theory has attracted a huge number of supporters who refuse to have their faith swayed.
"Those crystals are evidence of the power of human merit," Dr Seet said.

Parliament debates use of the word ‘Myanmar’

Parliament debates use of the word ‘Myanmar’
Wednesday, 28 September 2011 22:12 Myo Thant.

A military member of the Burmese Parliament on Wednesday put forward a motion that the word “Myanmar” should be restricted and not used in certain contexts.
The motion, which was divided into two parts and debated in the Lower House. One motion was defeated by more than 100 votes, according to Lower House MPs.  The other proposal was approved.
Lawmakers wore traditional native dress for this meeting of the Burmese Parliament in Naypyitaw.
Colonel Htay Naing submitted a motion that the use of the word “Myanmar” in phrases such as “Myanmar Karaoke,” “Myanmar Massage” and “Myanmar Entertainment” is not suitable or appropriate.
The proposal said: “To impose a law that the use of the word ‘Myanmar’ is allowed only in writings and publications that can uplift national prestige and noble phrases regarding the country and all ethnic people and ban the use of the word in other inappropriate phrases and logos.”
Seven MPs discussed the motion; five of them supported it and two opposed.
Lower House Speaker Shwe Mann divided the motion into two parts; the first would restrict the use of the word ‘Myanmar’ to be used only in “noble usages” and the second would ban the use of the word in “inappropriate phrases and logos.”
The first proposal passed and will be discussed by the other house. The second proposal defeat by 250 no votes; 133 yes votes and 13 abstentions.

Ice sculptors from China in Phnom Penh.

Dong Su has spent his last month and a half in Phnom Penh at freezing temperatures. At Ice Art, an ice sculpture exhibition on the capital’s Diamond Island, the 32-year-old from Guangdong, China, has hosted an increasing number of Cambodian guests on a tour through sparkling ice castles and palaces.

Reactions to the show from the primarily local audience have been that of amazement, Dong said.

“They’ve never seen anything like this before. It’s a completely new experience for almost every visitor who comes to our exhibition,” Dong said.

“And for many of our guests, it’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. We want visitors to walk away with a lasting impression.”

A team of 30 Chinese operates the exhibition, 15 of which are ice sculpting masters from the northeastern city of Harbin. Harbin gained international fame after the opening of China in the late 1970s for its annual ice sculpture exhibition. Dong said he has brought some of Harbin’s most talented ice sculptors to Phnom Penh to produce the show which is housed is a 5,000 cubic metre building.

This isn’t the first international appearance of China’s renowned ice sculptures. Dong’s company, Ice Art, has opened exhibitions in the US, Canada and Germany. Other Chinese companies that specialise in ice presentations have visited Hanoi, the capital of Vietnam.

The decision to open an exhibition in Phnom Penh was purely economic. Current growth in Cambodia’s economy resembles closely that of China some 20 years earlier, Dong said.

“Being here in this country now is definitely an opportunity for business people,” he said. “Right now you see many Chinese people coming to Cambodia to do business. This is because we were in the same situation not long ago. We recognise this chance to do good business.”

Anyone with transportation – whether it be a motorcycle or a luxury car – is the target audience for the show. Dong said the appeal of ice sculptures is not limited to a particular age group or income strata. Tickets are priced low so as to accommodate a majority of the capital’s population.

Despite the similarity in growth patterns between Cambodia and China, customer behavior is disparate, Dong said. Similar ice shows in China and Hong Kong have attracted long lines of visitors for a short period of time, he said. Then the crowds disappear all together. Cambodians, however, slowly trickle in over a long period of time.

Launch of first space lab module by Mu Xuequan

Launch of first space lab module important step for China's human spaceflight:
U.S. experts


WASHINGTON, Sept. 29 (Xinhua) -- China launched its first space lab module Tiangong-1 on Thursday, which U.S. experts say is an important step forward in China's plans for a human spaceflight.
The unmanned Tiangong-1, carried by Long March-2FT1 rocket, will test space docking with a spacecraft later this year, paving the way for China to become the third country in the world to operate a permanent space station around 2020.
"It allows China to develop and test rendezvous and docking procedures that will be critical as it moves forward with plans for a 20 ton space station," Joan Johnson-Freese, professor of national security affairs at Naval War College, told Xinhua in an email. "Clearly, China's technological progress has been impressive."
"Tiangong-1 is the next step in China's slow-paced but steady effort to achieve human spaceflight capability," John Logsdon, professor emeritus of political science and international affairs at the George Washington University, also told Xinhua. "By itself it is not a major step forward, but is important to China's demonstrating rendezvous and docking technologies."
However, what will happen after 2020 is still an open question since China has yet to demonstrate the capability to launch a large space station, John-Freese said, adding that certainly that will occur at some point, but time lines still are difficult to predict.
"China could well have a permanently occupied space station in orbit while the United States is pursuing different goals," she said. "Both will expand human spaceflight development and exploration in important ways."

BBC Sport Ricky Hatton considered suicide after defeat by Manny Pacquiao

BBC Sport Ricky Hatton considered suicide after defeat by Manny Pacquiao
18:46 GMT, Thursday, 29 September 2011 19:46 UK

Hatton won 45 of his 47 fights during a 12-year career Ricky Hatton says depression almost drove him to suicide after he was knocked out by Manny Pacquiao in 2009(http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/boxing/8028250.stm) .
In an exclusive interview on BBC Radio 5 live, Hatton explained how his life spiraled out of control in a battle with drink and drugs.
Hatton confirmed his retirement in July and now runs a successful promoting business.
But he said: "I was so down, I was crying and breaking out and contemplating suicide."
He said: "I was going deeper and deeper into depression.
"I was getting depressed. I was going out and having a few drinks. The worst thing you can do with depression is add alcohol to it.
"I needed something to get my backside into gear and pull my finger out. Sometimes you have to hit rock bottom to think, 'Blimey Ricky, get a grip'.
"Depression is a serious thing and, after my defeat to Manny Pacquiao, I contemplated retirement and didn't cope with it very well."
The former boxer's predicament was exposed in a newspaper sting where he was shown taking cocaine.
Hatton added: "For someone in my position taking drugs once is nothing short of disgraceful.
"The reason behind my actions and the way I was behaving wasn't a drink or drugs thing, it was depression. I was so down, I was crying and breaking out and contemplating suicide.
RICKY HATTON'S CAREER
•Born Stockport, 6 Oct 1978
•Turns pro in 1997
•21 fights unbeaten and becomes British light-welterweight champion in 2000
•Wins WBU light-welterweight title in 2001

•Awarded an MBE but loses first fight in December 2007 - knocked out by Floyd Mayweather Jr
•Beats Juan Lazcano and Paulie Malignaggi in 2008 but knocked out by Manny Pacquiao in May 2009
"Half the things I was doing I didn't even read about in the paper. I can't even remember the night it happened - that's what depression does to you.
"I was having blackouts, days on end whether I was drinking or not when I couldn't remember what had happened in my life.
"I thank the News of the World because who knows where it could have ended up.
"A lot of people say, 'I've tried committing suicide' - but there's saying it and doing it and it was coming on a regular basis.
"Being a proud man and a warrior, to get splattered in two rounds like I did, was really hard to come to terms with.
"When I tried to get back into training, I realized the hunger was gone and my career was over.
"Everything got on top of me and it was a really horrible time in my life. I would go out, have a few drinks, start sulking and start feeling sorry for myself.
"I kept coming home and crying to my girlfriend saying, 'I want to end it, I don't want to live'.
"Depression is a very serious thing. People don't realize how deadly it can be."
