Dear Family,
It is now time to get down to the real business of true authenticity and transparency! The multiplicity of players that have returned to play out the ancient final conflict, such as the Atlantian war over power archetype, will start to be revealed and be seen clearly by those of us who have the eyes to see. We will see these archetypal roles and their dramas gaining clarity by playing out in our personal life and on the world center stage. We can actually see who is who as the masks are finally taken off in this master game of polarity. When we are able to finally see the actor wearing the mask in these archetypal games, we cannot be controlled by these false masks of perceived identity any longer. How much longer will humanity choose the mask of enemy patterning and the need to play the war game archetype? When we have the eyes to see the masked actors, we stop allowing them to push our karmic buttons, that spew out the same destructive programmed pattern in the collective over and over again.
In order to have the eyes to see one has to be willing to be free of mind control programs and ego personality thought addictions. To be released of ego thought dependence is a soul body (4D-5D-6D) function. A true embodied soul starts to listen to itself through inner senses, rather than the ego function through its personality and external senses. This is why the controllers have worked hard to remove the soul function access from the 3D human being through external mind enslavement methods.
As circumstances and people in our environment become further revealed to us by showing their true colors, it makes our life so much easier to navigate in transparency. Transparency makes deception impossible to float as a reality. What a relief. However, the byproduct of transparency is that any illusion we may carry is shattered, which if we take personally, especially in deeply bonded relationships, can become emotionally difficult. Do not take anything personally during these times, learn to observe neutrally and apply unconditional love and forgiveness to emotional pain. We have many angelic messengers to soothe and support us if we allow ourselves to receive comfort.
The requirement of living in true authenticity and transparency means that the restoration of balance is returning. The Cosmic Sovereign Law of Living Liquid Light, The Natural Law of God is entering structures and places on the Earth it was not previously, in the dark cycle. Free will choice was granted to all entities, even the ones who decided to manipulate humanity away from their own free will by enslaving their minds, in order to steal their energy liquid light bodies. This usurping of another's free will by interfering with soul access cannot continue and is being returned back to human beings, in this restoration period of the Ascension timeline now.
Although there are wonderful levels of progress from our recent successful anchoring of the Eucharistic or Krystal body on Earth (see last month's newsletter), we are heading for a Showdown. This is a showdown of power between the forces who think they are in dominion of the Earth plane and are resistant to the change required for the next stages of planetary evolution. These beings do not want to take off the mask to reveal their true identity to themselves. Through their fear and confusion, and fight to control and suppress others, many continue to resist the inevitable change. Various Dark Overlords and their controller groups are being pushed to the corner to make a decision, and that decision will necessitate a direct action by God Source and its true representative vessels. As in Checkmate! shouted in a game of chess, this final grueling game is being played on a phantom checkerboard time matrix, for those that have the death to the finish reptilian mentality. Those staying in that reptilian station of identity continue to suffer greatly from their own mental torture. Those that have transcended the base ego identity will have greater experiences of expansion, connection and ease.
The Gridworker
This showdown in the game and the volcanic tension between these forces, are experienced mostly by those working in the collective consciousness field by doing planetary gridwork. It is this group we are addressing specifically this month, whose accepted responsibility is to not allow a fracture to occur on the planet surface and to prevent the manifestation of massively destructive events to be seen in the visible light spectrum by the 3D human being. If this fracture manifests physically into a timeline, it creates a fracture in the masses of people that are not mentally, emotionally or spiritually prepared to handle this radical change in their individual perception of reality. Those in this spiritual family that have been prepared to understand this change in reality by committing to our God purpose, are being utilized as energy placement holders and consciousness power directors, and are being assigned new tasks for these reasons. We are being asked to stabilize and support the grid and the human beings in these radius areas. These tasks are simple tasks of show up and observe an area, person, place or circumstance. You are needed there as an energy placement holder and are being asked to show up, and at whatever level you are capable to interact with the field. The ability to trust and listen to your assignment as its given without personal ego, is the marker of your ability to be trusted to further progress to higher spheres of influence on the planet. To progress in your purpose is to serve the harmony of the larger group rather than serve your personal agenda. The Guardians are monitoring people at various levels, to reposition recruits to higher levels of public awareness as a part of the coming cycle of the changing of the guard.
Right now our group goal is to prevent this showdown of force from being manifested in the beast machine timeline and its related destructive agendas, being pushed by the controllers. These are agendas of surface devastation and war, and they absolutely do not have to be played out if we override the artificial structures supporting and feeding them. It is possible to do this through the purity of consciousness and by absolutely commanding your space as a Sovereign and Free God Being. Do not allow any vampire or parasite to use or direct your consciousness power.
Bridging Timelines
The next grid project focus is the necessity to bridge timelines that have been feeding off and replicating, other false destructive timelines or stuck in the mire of massive superimposed artificial structures, or circulatory feeds and siphons that are used by the Negative Alien Control groups. Once Aurora Bridging and Mother Arc trans-gateways are opened, the false systems start to collapse and are unable to continue circulation feed of reversal polarity systems or other destructive circuits of energy. Without these reversal feeds circulating, it releases many soul bodies that have been impaled for use in these systems as a battery source. One major focus of timeline repair is the False Ascension Matrices and the various 5D Ascension programs that have been feeding into these replicated and inorganic systems. Many of these inorganic systems are responsible for the reincarnation programs used in the low astral planes to recycle human souls. These inorganic systems must fail and are being dismantled at both levels of the human 3D programs and its non-human 5D contact groups. These groups are also going into briefings and reassignments from their previous missions, as this timeline has gone as far as possible.
There is a fracturing occurring in the collective consciousness fields of the planet that requires a reassignment of our consciousness power and energetic direction. There has been immense polarity amplification in the field that creates an acceleration of descending and ascending frequency hubs on the planet surface. When massive levels of higher frequency are exposed to the planet it amplifies the energy polarity existing between forces, and certain areas of the planet either lift up or decline. This is a byproduct of the recent Unity Source Code architecture that is the foundational platform required for the use of directing the Aurora bridge projects and the re-encrypted Krystal bodies. The Ascension prototypers are embodied humans, working within these fields of frequencies to create stabilization of the Krystal body platform. The last few months we have been in a training period to reach this new platform by attuning to new frequency levels and their accompanying abilities. Our mental focus, cellular telepathy and inner knowing grows stronger as our body is becoming more attuned to function as an optic lens for God's Source Code. Re-encryption of source code into declining energy architectures in specified locations on the planet surface are a part of our bridging timelines assignment. Guardians, God Source will be directing us to those locations at the time we are needed, and as usual, we operate on a need to know now moment awareness, only.
Training for Re-Assignment
These training exercises have come with a new caveat and that is to be disciplined to exert effort to learn how to be ego integrated between your mental and emotional bodies. In this new cycle to progress and flourish in the spiritual arenas, ego tantrums will not be tolerated nor supported. To align to your purpose and mission and be trusted with the higher abilities, power of influence and public access, we must transcend the ego's vulnerability to dark force manipulation and control. Know who your authority IS and command your space to serve God! Many of us, formerly teachers, speakers, healers, session workers, are undergoing integration template polarity integration training and completion levels, in order to be prepared for next level group or public missions as facilitators. Basically, all it takes is a humbling of egos the grip in controlling our lives. Some of us in this Galactic Family are still working with integration training, even with high level studies, prepared modalities for Ascension curriculum and having remote viewing capability and other superhuman senses. Until the psycho-emotional integration transpires and we are not energetically vampiric to others, we are being limited in access to the higher field at this time. This means if you are an established spiritual teacher or ascension facilitator you will be cut off from progressing in the old energy, and will be required to update the frequency of your work to the new unity platform. The reduction in clients or workshop attendance is not the economic terrain, it is the necessity to upgrade the body of work to the next level frequency of unity source code. Do not take this personally. This is the learning curve we are operating in now, as we must learn to manifest with the unity source code and not the old energy reversal systems used by the controllers.
Ascension Facilitator Group Collaboration
With higher frequency and a new platform on which to exchange with them without having so much of our direct energy and our work being siphoned or hijacked, we are getting stronger in our Krystal bodies. This is a direct result of the open architecture of the unity source code that once positioned and anchored, allows an exchange to occur in trinity or Tri-wave orbital fields. We are learning new abilities that come spontaneously in the moment when it is required for our collaborative mission and fieldwork, and not for any other purpose of amusement. Conservation of resources is a part of the discipline of understanding the direction of consciousness power comes only when directed by God Source, and no other. Our energy, our group resources, our light bodies cannot be wasted or used by Dark Forces. We will be having more fun to collaborate together in light hearted exchanges both professionally and personally, however destructive or addictive habits will be removed as being labeled as fun.
Those of us that are disciplined and have committed fully to serving our God Spirit as our primary focus and mission, are being prepared for the next stages of our group mission and Ascension collaboration assignment. This is the beginning of the Unity Bridge Projects which, allows many of us that have been hidden to come out publicly to be recognized and acknowledged by their extended Spirit and Star Families. Some of us will be assigned to each other, meaning that we will be asked to work with other Ascension workers, or projects with other groups or leaders. Some of us will be asked to integrate all of our knowledge and clarity with as many people as possible, without the fear of copyright or greed. All of our trust must be working in full presence with our spiritual connection first and foremost. Ego cannot be present in these interactions, as they will immediately explode and be removed from any further collaboration. These are interactions being orchestrated and designed for re-encryption of frequency loads to be re-gridded into the Aurora Lattice. The Aurora Lattice connected through the 12D shield encryption is what allows the Guardian contact to be possible, re-directed and circuited into an orbital exchange with God's Eternal Living Light Forces. Once the Aurora Lattice is gridded into a holding container, a living entity living body is created for exchange with the Living Liquid Light of the Guardian God Forces that can be utilized for a multitude of collaboration projects.
Many of us that have been quietly doing this Krystal consciousness work behind the scenes are being presented with new pathways to become more seen in the public view. We are being asked to focus our attention and our consciousness optic lens on more diverse projects and expand our sphere of influence, as directed clearly by Source. There is no active force behind these projects, the individual person exhibits no personal desire, curiosity or analysis. It just exists as it Is.
To be an Ascension Facilitator is a large energetic responsibility that holds consequences, so a testing and re-training period is transpiring before it will be energized to manifest fully. In these next cycles there is no tolerance for twilight masters or negative ego representing the God Source, as nothing can be hidden in ego any longer. The Real organic and authentic will become extremely clear in the presence of the False inorganic and inauthentic. Many of us have been in the boot camp of living fully in transparency to ensure our integrity and clarity with what we choose as our ultimate authority.
5D Timeline Galactic Bridging
One major focus of timeline repair since May's spiritual activation is the removal of False Ascension Matrices and the various obsolete 5D Ascension programs that have been feeding into replicated and inorganic systems. The 5D inorganic systems being manipulated by negatives must fail and are being dismantled at both human 3D program level and their 5D higher ups that channel to them, obsolete Ascension information. The other Planet timeline groups and their 3D human contacts are being intervened with at this time to stop inorganic and obsolete methods that are feeding destructive timelines, that the Reptilian contingents have been using to power their Armageddon software systems. Both human and ET groups are undergoing Guardian Team briefing and the reassignment of their previous Ascension mission as it has gone as far as it is possible. This is transpiring here on Earth as well as in multiple dimensions with a focal point on 5D timelines.
This is a huge development as it means there is a change in leadership transpiring at multiple dimensional levels where previous galactic federations and their arms of council are being disbanded and re-educated from Guardian level contact. These are intervention contacts being made from outside our Universal Time Matrix, from the neighboring Universes through direct Source Liquid Light.
As we move through this paramount shift, we may see many human ego casualties, misinterpreting the change required of their ascension or spiritual work. The frequency of the spiritual ascension material given to the Indigo and Lightworker as it is made available to the public must change and be upgraded to Organic Ascension Models. Starseeds that have been working as Ascension teachers, must upgrade to facilitator support and be trained into new frequency modeling without guru-disciple or ego corruption. Those that have been teaching Ascension falsely or Reptilian plants, will be removed from the roster and energetic support will be withdrawn and re-assigned to those that have polarity integration training. 5D intermediaries will not be possible any longer unless they have been re-assigned to Universal Ascension modeling authorized by Guardian consciousness, Unity Intelligence of the Krystal Star Matrix in No Time.
Ascension missions and related code, language or bodies of work will be systematically redirected to new levels of Indigo and Starseeds that have demonstrated integrity through self mastery. These beings will be given the authority from Guardian unity source code alignment, and those without authority will be dismantled from access to their previous contact and energy channel.
Asian Grids and False Dragon Lines
Another Guardian bridging project coming to the forefront has been the rehabilitation of the architecture of fallen grids in Asia, feeding a large circuit along False Dragon Lines back to the United Kingdom. China and Tibet are the original planetary Stargate locations for Orion (8D) and Andromeda (9D). The galactic wars recorded the blood and genetic discrimination, Orion Wars and Draconian history with their distorted male-female archetypes and Vesica Pisces harness with Twin Monad Splitting, into the Asian grids. These grids have been shown to feed back a massive power structure to the main headquarter reversal hub, the Nephilim Reversal Grid (NRG) which is active in the United Kingdom. In order to dismantle the NRG, the various hubs feeding it from all over the planet need to be dismantled systematically while freeing the soul enslavement used to power these grids. This has been transpiring in the Guardian teams since my awareness of them in 2008.
The NRG is responsible for breaking apart hybrid genetics by reversing any synthesis of alchemy that happens organically between the male and female principle, electron-proton balance, as well as repelling any healing for reptilian based genetics. This is desirable to the Reptilians, because their human representatives that are bred as Nephilim genetic hybrids, between Oraphim and Reptilians, are easy to possess and mind control for their negative alien agenda. The Reptilians do not want to heal thereby integrate into human society as an equal, they want to rule it as an absolute authority, the False King of Tyranny. The illuminati plan and the infiltrated monarchs are based within these genetically controlled factions. The NRG is a massively complicated structure that has interfered with true spiritual marriage and Ascended Divine Unions as a possibility for human beings on the planet. This year we are working on embodying the unity template of Spiritual Marriage in No Time, which requires that these false systems fail. The NRG system keeps electron distortions feeding the patriarchal domination archetypes of tyranny, as assumed by males and females within their accepted roles of identity. This results in a bevy of highly destructive mental belief systems and emotional body schisms. These schisms are highly dysfunctional to the point they create genetic damage in the 2nd and 4th chakra layer functioning. These archetypes were once creational myths, played out in the polarity game but became a massive source of food for the controllers. As these archetypes were then used to negatively control people, the person digressed and then societal behavior patterns digressed, into aggressive anti-human, robotic and disconnected behavior.
The name of the game for the NRG is propagating and feeding highly destructive addictions and deviant sexual attitudes and behavior within the global human population. Its first priority is designed to relegate all sexual activity laced with guilt and shame into the lowest forms of human expression and perversion possible. Depending on accepted cultural attitudes it will use the perceptive level of access to serve the current societal paradigm into distortion. (In Muslim countries it can be the legal killing of raped women by being left in the desert to die by their own husband, or the selling of little girls to prostitution in Thailand, Catholic priest pedophilia in the Vatican, Sadistic or masochistic fetishes in Germany. These harvested energies all feed-back into the same NRG matrix.)
This NRG matrix starts out on the surface looking like its harmless, based on open sexual attitudes like what are you a prude? Are you jealous and possessive? Don't you know that polyamory is what we were designed for? It's designed to suck you into addiction and nonstop base instinct desires of the second chakra, so all that is craved is plugging into the next outlet or in its deeper levels, getting relief from addictive anxiety. The promiscuity is designed is to crash your human genetic code so you lose your real sense of divine human connection, which is the deep desire to be truly intimately connected and experienced as the divinity within. Unity intelligence, God force, is created between the male and female principle at highly developed consciousness frequency, within the unions between equals, or Spiritual Marriage in No Time. This is what it is like on advanced planets. This is when unconditional love is shared in a safe emotional haven and the full transparency of trust to create divine union is made possible. Most of us engaged in the sexual act forget that the human design to Ascend into God Source, is a part of the union of equals existing in perfect love. We need to remember this again in order to heal ourselves and return true unity in spiritual marriage to the planet.
In order to separate humans from divine union, the NRG grid promotes disconnection through all means sexual, such as internet porn, the sexualization of inanimate objects and the belief the grass is always greener with another sexual partner. Once a person becomes addicted to the bait of this rapidly descending pathway, the architecture of this control system hooks into all of your lower centers to capture your vital force. When something vampirizes your vital force, sexual chakra, all you instinctually want is to get it back, so you seek the next seduction to vampirize someone or something else. Never succeeding in feeling satiated, you become addicted to all things external. The mind becomes fixated on latching into another outlet, sex, food, drugs, clothes, or any object or person. In its advanced stages the fixation becomes obsessive and compulsive, in order to relieve the discontent to the level of anxiety experienced, courtesy of the NRG grid.
As an example, the Asian grids are feeding princess code female principle distortions as well as sexual robot fantasies. Hello kitty products princess codes and Anime cartoon's sexual robots, had extensive architecture powering into the NRG as a battery source. This means huge Asian populations are feeding distortions to power this NRG in some way the reptilians are using, this does not mean these items in themselves are negative. It means these items are being exploited into some massive deviation that is far from balanced and healthy to the human being, who is unaware they are being negatively manipulated through these systems.
As we become aware of these systems of manipulation that lead humans into unbalanced and destructive behavior, we can correct them. Most being manipulated have no idea they are being mind controlled to feed these systems through advanced addictions that are not even organic to their personal free will choices. The more conscious we become, the more we elevate the planet and have the power in the authority of God, to remove these false systems from abusing ourselves and others. It is the purpose of comprehending how humanity has arrived at this current state of being, so we are consciously able to direct ourselves to higher expressions in order to bring freedom back to the human race. We represent freedom for the human race and through accepting responsibility for ourselves and aligning to God purpose we can transform the world. Thank you to our Asian Gridworkers who have been clearing and working with these negative systems, now and in the months to come.
Until next, stay in the luminosity of your Avatar Heart Path! Be Gentle with your hearts and each other.
Love Always, Lisa

Saliva might not be the grossest human fluid, but it is still pretty foul. One particularly undesirable brand of spit is known as "backwash". Backwash is the term for fluid which makes its way from ones mouth back into a beverage container. Backwash seems inevitable. There are some people who believe that the final 10%-33% of liquid in a soda can is backwash*. Can backwash be prevented, and are some beverage containers backwash-proof? |
One evening, we endeavored to find the truth with a simple test: First, we would richly color our mouth and saliva with a hearty dose of unsweetened Kool-Aid mix. Second, we would drink a bit of clear water from a test container. With our bright red saliva, it would be easy to see if saliva had made its way back into the drink. In preparation, we set up five different drinking vessels and readied fresh packs of Cherry Kool-Aid Mix. Ashley was first. She tore open her first packet of Kool-Aid. Unsweetened, Kool-Aid mix is extremely tart and extraordinarily red. Kool-Aid is a summertime favorite for two reasons, it is cold, and it is sweet. Curiously, the Kool-Aid product does not actually possess these properties in its native state. You have to add the cold and the sweet yourself. The shock of so much unsweetened Kool-Aid sent Ashley reeling. She looked as if she had just been struck in the face by a shipload of red lemons. |
Luckily, she regained her composure, and was ready to test the first container. She drank from a glass of water through a straw. |
Sure enough, when her suction stopped, the water fell back down the tube, and with it came a little swirl of red backwash. It dissipated before I could capture it in a photo. There was not much backwash at all. |
Ashley could hardly wait to spit. |
Ashley's reaction to the experience looked pretty intense. The other test |

Traditionally telecaster guitars have the neck pick-up covered in a nickel/chrome cover, and the bridge pickup left with exposed pole pieces.
What is the origin/logic of the nickel cover?
What effect would it have if the same pick-up was used with the cover removed?
Why don't we have a nickel cover on the bridge? How would that affect the sound? (I've never even seen an aftermarket one, do they exist?)

FreeTrack is a free software similar to Track-IR (FreeTrack is compatible with a majority of games using this technology) which makes it possible to simulate head movements in your games and simulators, to increase pleasure, realism and immersion.
It makes it possible to control your point of view in a video game or simulator, with small head movements. What could be more natural than to turn your face towards the rear view mirror to look in this rear view mirror? How to make it simpler than to just lower your eyes to check the switch of the headlights of your Cessna?
The immersion is really improved, you just have a better awareness of the other vehicles in motor race games, you carry out more beautiful approaches in flight simulators,

In June I received a full request for my novel. In October, the agent's assistant checked in with me, asking if my novel was still available and informing me that the agent was nowreviewing(just a guess here, but I think s/he's reading it, not writing a review) it.
In the meantime, I've finished and polished a new novel, and I'd like to start querying it. I know that I should inform the agent who has my manuscript that I'm querying a new project (1); my question is, what is the appropriate amount of time to wait before querying this new novel? (2)
My current plan (assuming I don't get a response beforehand) is to wait one more month, then send an email nudging her about the manuscript (3) she has and informing her of my new project, and begin querying the new novel shortly after. Is three months from a check-in (and seven months from a full request) ample time? (4) Or have I already waited a sufficient amount of time to do it now? (5) Several agents whom I'd like to query with the new novel have indicated they'll be closing to queries soon; I don't want to miss an opportunity to query them (especially if the agent rejects me),(6) but I also don't want to make a bad impression by nudging the agent too soon.(7)
(1) No, you shouldn't.
(2) Negative five seconds
(3) No
(4) yes
(5) yes
(6) exactly
(7) stop worrying about that
Your first obligation is to your career. Query until you have an offer for representation in hand. You are not responsible for the glacial pace of an agent's reading schedule.
It took this agent four months to start on your novel. The only thing that means is you've had four months to sit around and wait. KEEP QUERYING.
You don't have to keep her posted on this new novel either. She doesn't have first dibs on you or your work. If (when!) she gets in touch with you cause she love love loved your novel, then you can tell her the good news about Book #2.
It's not rude to do this.
It's not unprofessional to do this.
It won't leave a bad impression.
You need to keep writing and keep querying till you get an agent. Your time is NOT less valuable than the agent's. If anything it's MORE valuable. Only you can write your novels. Any one of us can sell it.
The parameters of politeness at the query stage are simple:
1. Follow the agent's guidelines
2. Follow up on a query after 30 days; a requested full after 90days OF SENDING (that's when the clock starts, NOT when the agent starts reading). Be polite in the followups.
3. If you get an offer, email any agent reading your full. (You don't need to email those rejected at the query stage or didn't answer at the query stage.)
4. Don't vent in public (twitter, facebook et al) about publishing.
That's all you have to do.
If you tippytoe around trying not to offend anyone, you'll spend too much time worrying and not enough time writing.
Got it?

Bizarre Rare Parrot......The Feather Duster
Behold the feather duster. Kind of a controversial topic I have discovered. Apparently they are a rare mutation of the English Budgie. I recently met Munchkin a feather duster hatched at J & M Aviaries in Austin, TX. I remember when Linda and Jerry told me they might have a feather duster baby. They were hand raising a few budgies and one appeared with unusual feathers. At first they thought it might be a disease such as psittacine beak and feather. They had even thought they might need to euthanize the bird to protect the flock. Fortunately they realized what they had on their hands was one of these rare mutations.
The controversy over these parrots is that there is concern that they don't live long and that the feathers create a hardship in their lives. This can mean challenges seeing and also keeping the feathers clean. The shorter life span has been attributed to the nutrient requirements for feather growth. All of this may be true for some, but what we all wondered is how many people actual have the opportunity to give a feather duster the kind of attention it needs to live a healthy life?
As a small facility J & M is able devote plenty of time to each bird. Larger aviaries that hatch a feather duster may not have that luxury. Munchkin goes home every night with staff and is attended to all day at the aviary.
As a hand raised baby he is extremely engaging and appears to respond enthusiastically to attention. In this video clip, you can see him perk up when he hears his name called and spin circles when Linda comes closer.
In one article I saw comments that it was unkind to allow feather dusters to survive. I found this difficult to agree with after watching Munchkin. He certainly did not seem to be suffering and in fact he was as vital as any bird I had seen. He has a preferred toy that he rests up against (made by the Leather Elves….Robin is quite proud I am sure!) and probably gets more attention than most parrots I know.
Working in bird shows for so many years I often had the privilege to work with and train some unusual cases ….a blind Harris Hawk named Storm; a Barred Owl with brain damage due to a head trauma named Mr. Magoo, and an amazing wing injured Bald Eagle named Hope. One thing that amazed me is how adaptable these animals are. As with any animal the goal was always to use positive reinforcement to help makes their lives as rewarding as possible. And in turn they helped educate and inspire so many people despite their personal individual challenges.
I hope people can look at Munchkin as a special bird who happened to hatch into the hands of some people who care deeply for him. With any luck he will teach us more about this unique condition and how best to care for feather dusters.

At the risk of sounding cliche, it's true that you learn something new every day! I really enjoyed reading about this rare bird. Thanks for the educational experience and story! And since I've had the pleasure of meeting Jerry, I found this to be an even more enjoyable story!

ADELE BUTLER - Women of Spirit: Elder Abuse Elder Abuse Victims Act of 2009 (House Resolution 448) "Rise in the presence of the aged, show respect for the elderly and revere your God. I am the Lord."

High Capacity Hydraulic Pump
The high capacity, efficient tandem hydraulic pump gives you smoother handling in heavy duty working conditions and helps to reduce operator fatigue.
Power Steering
Responsive, powerful and comfortable steering reduces operator fatigue. The power steering system is robustly designed for maneuvering in soft soil and for front loader operation.
Deluxe Seat
A fully adjustable suspension seat allows the operator to ride in comfort no matter what the job. A retractable seatbelt is standard on all KIOTI tractors to ensure operator safety.
Rear PTO
Rear PTO is standard and mid PTO is optional. You can select the rear or mid PTO separately or simultaneously.
Single Lever Joy Stick
The operation of the front-end loader is made easier by the use of a single lever joystick. The joystick allows you to perform all loader functions with a single lever. The lever automatically returns to neutral and the loader stops in place when the joystick is released. A float position allows the bucket free flotation over the ground surface.
Foldable ROPS
A fold-down roll bar allows you to move into tight areas quickly and easily.
Simple Maintenance
KIOTI Tractors are designed for easy maintenance. Liftable hoods and removable side panels allow convenient access for daily service checks. Maintaining your tractor for long life and high performance has never been easier.
Center Marker
The center marker on the hood assists with maintaining straight rows.
High Ground Clearance
The maximum ground clearance of 13.4 in. makes usage on rocky or uneven terrain simpler.
Illuminated Dashboard
The illuminated dashboard ensures great visibility while working in bright daylight or at night. The operator can check important instrumentation at a glance with an easy-to-see tachometer, hour meter, fuel temperature gauge, and battery charge lamp.
3-Point Control Lever
The 3-point control lever allows you to easily raise and lower the lift arms when attaching implements.

The 1975 original audio gives you our full audio collection of recordings of Srila Prabhupada from 1975 in MP3 format. (315 hours, 563 audio files, 14Gb)
This Archival Edition of the original 1975 audio recordings in MP3 format is largely unedited or unenhanced. This collection contains all of Prabhupada's 1975 classes, morning walks, room conversations, press conferences, lectures, arrival addresses, interviews, and more, all extracted from the original media (reels and cassettes.) This collection contains new material as well as previously released material.
The MP3 Archival Edition is a direct copy of the original recording with very minor, if any, audio-quality enhancements to remove or reduce artificially induced sounds, such as excessive tape hiss, or raise the volumes of recordings made at very low levels. These recordings are not remastered, so they ARE NOT sonically cleaned up or edited like the previous releases, but reflect the "as is" nature of the both good and poor original recordings.
