How good is a can or two beers every day? – By Dr Harold Gunatillake Beer is one of the oldest beverages in the world. Beer recipes can be found in Egyptian tombs, Mesopotamian archaeological sites and Babylonian texts. Today, beer is found in grocery stores and breweries around the world. People are even rediscovering the joy of making beer at home. *Beer has high levels of B vitamins, particularly folic acid, which is believed to help prevent heart attacks. Beer also has soluble fibre, which keeps you regular, reducing the likelihood that your system will absorb unhealthy junk like fat. I drink a can or two small beers every day. I walk an average of 35,000 steps in a day, intermittently covering 8,000 steps per hour, and I relax with a small can of beer or two at intervals. I am 94 years old and have carried this habit ...

Japanese “Peace Pagoda” in Sri Lanka. By Dr.Gamini Kariyawasam. Rumassala, known to colonialists as Buona Vista, is the subject of many legends. It is featured in the Ramayana, as the home of the beautiful Queen Sita. According to the Ramayana, it is also said that Hanuman dropped a chunk of ‘Himalaya’ at Unawatuna (Onna Vetuna – ‘here it fell’) to form the present mountain, where many medicinal plants still grow. There is a major magnetic anomaly near Unawatuna, which Arthur C. Clarke attributes to a meteorite strike, and it is said that satellites lose their orbits with unusual frequency overhead. The Portuguese had a dreadful reputation in Sri Lanka as looters and pirates, are said to have given false light signals from Rumassala to lure unsuspecting Arab trading ships onto the rocks. Mythical Legend According to legend, the Monkey-warrior Hanuman was sent back to India to fetch the four medicinal ...

Respect across age, gender and cultures – by Charles Schokman “ Every human being and nation, irrespective of their power or strength, has the right to be respected. Respect is defined differently by different people and cultures. In our video we try to bring in as many individuals from different ages, genders and countries to get a better understanding of the word respect. This is very important to build emotional and cultural intelligence. Respect has many definitions: – Respect is an unassuming resounding force, the stuff that equity and justice are made of. – It means being treated with consideration and esteem and to be willing to treat people similarly. – It means to have a regard for other peoples’ feelings listening to people and hearing them, i.e. giving them one’s full attention. – Even more importantly, respect means treating one with dignity. Respect is the first positive step ...
SUNDAY CHOICE – Drinking from my saucer – by Charles Schokman Why is it critical for us to recognize the blessings that are overflowing from our personal cups into our saucers? Simply, it is God’s Wish that we acknowledge His hand in all things and we need to offer our thanks to Him. This poem has been very inspirational to me because its message is not to be casually thankful for the obvious, rather, it points out the vast opportunities we have to acknowledge and be filled by the ever-flowing abundance of God’s love for us. Our imperfections set our own limitations on gratitude. We might be guilty of thanking Him for a limited amount of blessings because we have failed to put wide-angle lenses on our soul to see the vast quantity of blessings around us to really be thankful for. Some expressions of gratitude fall short of the ...
