In Shining World Compassion Award News from the United Kingdom…
Caeden Thomson is a young boy with a big heart who inspires people from all around the world via his YouTube channel. Born 12 weeks premature, Caeden has cerebral palsy. He had two large bleeds on his brain, which have profoundly affected his mobility. Doctors predicted that Caeden would never walk, but this spirited boy defied the odds. Not only is Caeden mobile, but in gratitude for all of the care and support he has received, he decided to undertake physical challenges such as climbing Ben Nevis, the highest mountain in Scotland and the United Kingdom, to raise money for the disability equality charity Scope and the UK’s National Health Service that have helped him. He did this with the loving support of his family, including his mother, Lisa, and even their faithful dog companion. "We wanted to help others and give help to NHS (National Health Service) and Scope, didn’t we? (Yes.)" "In turn, that’s helped you, hasn’t it? (Yes.) Because it kept Caeden physical and kept him training so that he could make others proud and just keep pushing."
Upon hearing of Caeden’s inspiring actions, our Benevolent Supreme Master Ching Hai: “Joyfully present the Shining World Compassion Award to Caeden Thomson and US$10,000 in loving support of his heroic, big-hearted endeavor, with a big hug, lots of love and praises.”
Our Association members in Surrey, United Kingdom, were honored to present the Award letter, crystalline plaque, and Master’s financial contribution to Caeden and his mother. “Dear Caeden, it’s with great admiration and gratitude that we present to you the Shining World Compassion Award for overcoming adversity. This award is presented in recognition for your courage to go beyond boundaries for the benefit of others and for uplifting our world with your inspiring story, which has touched the heart of the nation. Dear Caeden, in recognition of your compassionate efforts and good deeds, we present this check to you for US$10,000 on behalf of Supreme Master Ching Hai."
Caeden was honored to receive the award and check. He and his mother expressed their sincere appreciation. “Thank You so much.” "I am completely super, super proud and very humbled for Caeden to receive such an amazing award, and it is amazing that people are being recognized around the world for doing things like this. So, thank You so much."
We extend our jubilant congratulations to Caeden and his family for their actions to inspire people globally. May you continue your uplifting work, in Divine blessings. For the full presentation of the Shining World Compassion Award to Caeden Thomson, please tune in to our Shining World Awards program at a later date.
Researchers calculate COVID-19 amount transferred via touch using artificial skin.
Scientists from Virginia Tech, United States, and the University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong, have investigated how much COVID-19 virus can be transferred to the skin by touching a contaminated surface. If touching a glass, stainless steel or Teflon surface with a droplet of SARS-CoV-2 suspension, between 13 to 16% of the virus ended up on the skin. For surfaces with a dried droplet, 3 to 9% was transferred. Porous material like wood or tissue transferred even less due to the droplet soaking into the substance, thus leaving less on the surface. The research paper is a preliminary work published on the medRxiv website and has not yet been peer-reviewed. Thank you, Virginia Tech and University of Hong Kong researchers, for examining the amount of COVID-19 that could be transferred to the skin by touch. May all people maintain careful hygiene, wear masks and care for each other, in God’s beneficence.
Up next on Noteworthy News, Helsinki seeks to be one of the world’s top cycling cities. We’ll just take a little time to thank the pathology workers who help the public at COVID-19 testing sites. Please stay tuned to Supreme Master Television for more visionary news. Vegan = 4 Total Peace.
Hallo, cheerful friends, how are you today? I’m Oliver the vegan Masai Ostrich and I love being vegan, and I bet you will too. Join me! Today, we have an exercise tip, especially for our beloved senior citizens. As you know, it is very important to protect our elderly family members from falls. Balance exercises will help them feel their best when walking. The single-limb stance is an exercise where we grasp the back of a sturdy chair without wheels, and raise up our right foot while balancing on our left foot. Hold this pose as long as possible and then alternate feet. The goal of this exercise is to eventually stand on a single foot and maintain the pose for a minute, without having to hold onto the chair. Thank you for your attention. And love you for Being Veg and Going Green 2 Save the Planet thus save the world! Now, the global weather.
Helsinki sets goal to become world’s third-best bicycle-friendly city.
Finland’s capital of Helsinki has launched a campaign to improve its bicycling infrastructure and promote cycling. It is part of a plan to create smooth and safe transportation systems for all citizens in the city. A cycling-themed mural depicting Helsinki next to the world’s top cycling cities of Copenhagen, Denmark and Amsterdam, the Netherlands, is being created on the popular Helsinginkatu Street that features many bike and repair shops. The city is also installing bins at an angle, which will facilitate cyclists in disposing of garbage while they cycle. What a progressive initiative, Helsinki. In Celestial blessings, may you enjoy great success as you move towards creating an even more vibrant city that is convenient, green and pleasant for all residents.
United States researchers make advancement towards real-time holograms.
Scientists from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in the United States have taken a major step towards the commercialization of real-time holograms. Traditionally to generate such 3D holograms, a supercomputer was required to perform complex physics calculations. But the engineers have managed to bypass the need for such mathematics, by training an artificial intelligence algorithm with 4,000 pairs of computer-created images, that were each matched with a picture. The algorithm successfully learned how to generate holograms from the images, that are at a higher resolution than existing technologies, and could run on a personal computer or high-end smartphone. Great work, MIT researchers, for your fantastic progress in the holography field. In the grace of Providence, may your efforts lead to many new technologies in the near future that help boost humanity’s welfare and comfort.
Compassionate man gives disabled animals the gift of renewed mobility.
Hasan Kizil from the Derik district of Mardin province, Turkey, is renowned throughout his country for creating mobility-enabling prosthetics and wheelchairs for more than 600 injured animals of varied species. His work stems from his love for animals, believing they are the most harmless and innocent beings in the world. The kind gentleman also feels that animals cannot tell us when they are in pain but look us in the eyes and wait for us to understand. Using various recycled materials such as toys and bicycles as well as a 3D printer, Mr. Kizil’s devices are always free of charge and give the recipients a new lease on life. We are deeply touched by your kind heart, Hasan Kizil. May Allah bless you and all the sweet animals you help. May your innovative creations keep improving the lives of precious beings, in Heaven’s immense love. Supreme Master Ching Hai: “Gladly present the Shining World Compassion Award to Hasan Kizil, plus a US$15,000 humble contribution toward this caring endeavor, with gratitude and praises. May you be shielded by Divine love.”

Orangutan relocated to safer area in Indonesia.
Jala, an adult male orangutan in Indonesia who was living near a village on the island of Borneo, has been relocated to a designated safe area by conservationists and the government. His new home is in the Tanagupa conservation forest in west Kalimantan province’s Gunung Palung National Park that is far from human settlements, has abundant food and few resident orangutans. The designated regions for the species are part of a program by the government to help preserve the precious animals by keeping them separate from humans to avoid land-use conflicts. Indonesia is a recipient of Shining World Leadership Awards for Compassion and Good Governance, and a laureate of Shining World Leadership Awards for Compassion and Protection. Our appreciation, conservation groups and the Indonesian government, for your caring actions to ensure Jala and other gentle-hearted orangutans of your nation have a safe and protected place to call home. We pray that their lives and habitats will remain in peace, in the grace of Allah.
Laughter is always good for us, so let’s enjoy this joke together. It’s entitled, “The Talk.”
Tina asks her colleague, Jake:
"What happened with the raise that you wanted?"
"Yes... Yesterday, I finally decided to have that talk with the boss. I said to him, 'Raise my salary. If not, I will leave.' After an intense discussion, we did come to a compromise."
"And what was that?"
"The boss agreed to not raise my salary, and I will not leave."
