Salient Extracts from Balangoda Ananda Maithriya Thera

I have added few of my own having done some basic research.

Kalpa is the Lifetime of a Universe.

The current Bradrakalpa is an extremely magnificent Kalpa with 5 Buddhas to be born.

Kakusandha

Konagama

Kassapa

Gautama 

Already four born and one Maithriya to be born.

We are in the Bradrakalpa.

After this current five Buddha Kalpa there are 59 Kalpas where no Buddhas or Arhats are born.

Abhudassa Kala is the name given for the period after the period of Mettaya Buddha. 

According Balangoda Ananda Maithriya Thera this a magnificent period to walk the path laid by Gautama Buddha and follow his teaching unless one wants become another Buddha.

I have no sympathy for those who follow the Tibetian Passe-Buddha. It is a Mahayana or Indian Tradition by enlarge.

No more about Mahayana.

I dish out Theravada the Text of the Elders including Balangoda Ananda Maithriya Thera.

It is only through "Vidhassana Bhavana" one can achieve the goal, at least the Stream Entry. 

Satara Sati Pattan is the way.

"Samatha Bhavana" without understanding of Dhamma one can obtain higher Dyana and birth in Heavenly Worlds including Maha Brahma. 

This is the approach of Hindu Teaching.

Their belief is that Maha Brahma is eternal and he has created this World. Additionally beings possess "Soul" and the Soul is eternal.

We do not believe in creation of World Systems but Grand Energy conversation which has a natural order of creation and dissolution according to natural physical laws.

We Buddhists additionally do not believe in "Soul Concept".

Our belief is Maha Brahma having consumed all his good Kamma would end up in a lower lever, even lower than humans (but as animals because he has consumed almost all Kusala Kamma).

It is rare to be born as a human.

It is even worse to waste that time on Samatha Bhavana which is alluring as id Ayahuasca inhalation, to say the least but does not lead to the Path of Nibbhana.

I have no problem with anybody practicing Meditation but when one reaches the Dyana level one becomes addicted and this addition is counterproductive and may even lead to physical illnesses including strokes and hearth disease.

I have seen these adverse events as a medical practioner. 

At least six cases before our marriage.

 This is why I say one needs a reliable trainer versed with Dhamma to practice meditation. One does not get anywhere in 6 weeks if one does not follow it up.

Currently, I do not practice meditation since I have got a lot to finish as regard to my books. 

It is time consuming.

By the way, blogging as a pastime.

Kalpa is the Times Extent of Buddhas 

In one Kalpa one may have upto, to Five Buddhas. One Buddha is the least in one Kalpa.

We are in the fourth Kalpa.

Gauthama is our Buddha.

Buddha went through 6 years of hardship before attaining Enlightenment.

This period of rigorous practice can go up from 7 days to 7 months. 

This all depends on the mental purity (stage) achieved by the previous life.

I have to make a correction here that 100 year time limit to understand the Dhamma. Longer life time considered was as an impediment. 

It is relative. 

According to Ananda Maithriya Thera there we Kalpas with 1000 year Buddhas. Those have come and gone and our one is in 100 year cycles.

So do not waste time.

Waiting for next Buddha is prolonging Samsara. My mother wanted to see Maithriya Buddha and that was her wish.

Next Buddha is Matteyya or Maithree

One who has obtained the Niyatua Viyawara and who is destined to become the next Buddha. 

He has already obtained it from our Gautama Buddha. 

It is long time to come and we do not know who he is. 

Some even say Balangoda Ananda is destined to be the next.

He has never claimed it but has many attributes.

I have never met this Thera but has sent messengers to him when I have had difficulties and when I needed advice. Twice in my life he guided me through my difficulties and I am glad to say I have overcome them in good time.

I deliberately did not visit him thinking that I may ask more than what I should ask. 

I needed to know the minimum and nothing more. My wish was to see him after accomplishing my tasks and appreciate his help. He had passed away including Rev. Narada when I returned home from abroad.

Since then Buddhist Publication Society has been my Dhamma Fountain.

Fortunately, Balangoda Ananda Maithriya Thera has left recording. He was a brilliant in his Dhamma Exposition.

There are Kalpas without Buddha where there are nobody who is destined to become a Buddha. Those periods far exceed the periods with Buddhas are born.

Assuming the number of Kalpas to come in the future is 59 out of 64 we are in the 4th Kalpa and the next Kalpa is the 5th Kalpa when Mettaya Buddha would be born.

Ceasefire is a deceit by America and Israel

Ceasefire is a deceit by America and Israel.

Above comment is my Gut Feeling!

 

I think Israel will bomb either Qatar or Bahrain or Iraq and "Quote" Iran did it.

They are looking for a Nuclear Option.

Beware!

Anything can happen in WAR since this is the first time Israel was PUNCHED hard, enough to feel the pain.

This is my scientific analysis.

I am not  a military man.

I have first stand experience of how we were deceited by LTTE aided both by hardware and military intelligence by Mosad, in our ethnic war..

The ceasefire is either Fake or AI generated or an American Ploy to Lull Iran into false sense of security.

Neither American Congress was informed nor any authorization granted by partisan agreement.

Americans are violationg their own law in the name of manufactured war.

My reason is even, Scott Ritter cannot give a plausible scenario except giving somewhat of a delayed assessment and not necessarily a running commentary.

He accepts that he would make mistakes.

Even one has all the data within a few minutes, the next flow of data can change dramatically for, far worse.

Not good at all.

I cannot guess what plan Israelite have at this moment.

It is volatile and evolving.

 

That is how war progresses.

12 hour gap between ceasefire and Israelite having a 12 hour benefit is revealing. It is first time in world history such a document (?x-account) was agreed, let alone signed.

I do not believe in anything that any report or news agency provides or reports.

My skepticism of YouTube Algorithm is my main bona fide.

If Iranians have brains, which they do have in plenty should look at the opposite of what it means.

Ceasefire = Declaration of War

Diplomacy = Duplicity or Hidden Agenda 

Received New Arms = Depleted Resources

No Nuclear Strike = Nuclear Attack Eminent 

Front Line is Secure = Eminent Collapse

Citizens are Secure = Citizens are Fleeing

Underground Facities Adequate = Full to the Brim

Food is Plenty= Children are starving 

Bunkers are Busted = They are standing Erect.

I think Ukrainians were very good at propagating false Propagenda but not at this level of deception.

When counting the dead Ukrainians used the figures in reverse order.

Russian deaths were actually the number of Ukrainian deaths and vice versa.

That was what I did (reverse the figures) in my calculations in the early stages of the conflict.

I think Russians should take my advice.

Russians were cheated many a times in history.

They should take a leaf out of Iranians.

 

The Iranians NEVER trusted Americans.

Regarding Trump many Americans do not TRUST him at all. 

That is the bottom line and bona fide.

Quiet Diplomacy by Russia and China Ended the War, not by Presdent Trump

I have to disagree with Scott Ritter on few of the issues 

Crisis in Middle East

I followed the 12 Day War.

1. American and Israel Deception.

2. Premptive attack by Israel on Iran.

3. Chinese military and Surveillance Equipment delivered in radio silence to Iran to replace  what was lost by premptive strike.

4. Happy Americans Bombing Nuclear facility.

5. Silence from Iran

6. Iran's Foreign Minister visites Russia 

7. My Guess Work 

President Putin Telling American President that Oresniks are in ready supply for Iran or have a Nuclear Deal with Iran.

He did not consider Nuclear Option.

8.  President Trump in panic mode.

No more bombing.

9. President Trump Informs Israel.

Israel in panic mode.

10. Ceasefire even without signing the required documents.

No statements either from Russia or China. 

A subtle threat of supply of Oresniks.

That is how quiet Diplomacy Works.

No words spoken but threats made.

11. UNO caught pants down.

Failing to call Israel, the aggressor in the assembly.

12. Real exchange of letters of intention not yet begun.

13. United Kingdom (war monger in Ukraine) and India bypassed deliberately.

14. Muslim Nations who are aligned with America now have to face Iran with begging bowls.

15. Please do not close the Straight of Hormuz. All our kingdoms would fall including Turkey.

Democrats are looking for a impeachment buy they cannot raise numbers both in Senate and House.

Good Bye to YouTube

 Good Bye to YouTube

YES, I am going to say Good Bye to YouTube.

It a took long effort for me to say, Good Bye to Facebook.

In fact, I requested them to de-register me but Facebook refused.

They still entice me but I delete any redirections.

This is true of Dropbox.

But I have lot of my photos (Dropbox) there especially all my water plants.

I think all my water plants in Ceylon are dead, now. I requested our domestic aid to take some of them away.

It was big job for her to take care of all of them.

 

She was given a key to the gate. 

She passed away recently just past 70. 

I think she had a long term kidney problem. 

My Guess was Nephrotic Syndrome. 

This speaks volumes about how bad the free medical services in Ceylon under NPP/ JVP.

 

Few of the Orchids I left on the rooftop garden may be already stolen by next door neighbor guy who used to climb our roof, secretly. 

I caught him twice and once, long time ago warn him never to do that.

 

I have no hard feeling leaving Ceylon.

 

This is an attempt to prove (may be true) that Buddha was born in Ceylon.

It is in full swing.

It does not matter to me but I would try to understand Lord Buddha's Teaching. 

Buddha is already gone and only his teaching is left us to sturdy.

 

Coming back to YouTube it sends me messages regularly to register.

I promptly delete the piece.

Why it entices me to register?

Nothing but greed for money.

After three months of my registration, it will ask for payments. 

I would not pay.

I do not bother if it cancel my entries.

Google won't cancel my pieces simply because CIA need some port hole to snoop on my activities. CIA does regular survey of all the YouTube entries. 

That is their game plan.

Just before, the election in Ceylon, it dished out lot of YouTube sites to our guys. Many of those guys, now cannot pay the monthly fee without patron contributions.

Only a very a few guys can survive on You Tube channel.

All my life I posted only one YouTube post. It was long time ago.

One one occasion, university videoed my presentation on Linux with a University Staff Audience.

None could understand my presentation.

No questions asked.

I made it fast and hard deliberately.

I was given a copy of my presentation.

I posted it on YouTube.

Nobody visited it, then.

 

Only about 34 guys were using Linux on PCs, then.

No wonder, no hits.

My goal was to promote Linux PC penetration to 10%.

It is fast approaching that target.

Then I will stop posting on Linux, too.

I am totally free, then.

Buddhas Three Vists to Ceylon

 This is stated in the "Gatha" my mother used to recite.

"Yannam padaya Nadiya Puline Che Theire (? Magada)

Yan Sathcha Buddha Girike Sumana Che Lagge (Ceylon)

Yannattha Yonaka Pure (Medina) Munisocha Padan

Than (Three) Pada Lannchana Mahan Sirasa Namami"

Distortions Caused by British When Recording our History and Naming Cities in Ceylon and India

JB Dissanayake also has done irreversible damage to Hela Basa. He was an English Educated guy.

Mahanama and Buddhagosha are Indians and they were sent here to distort Buddhism by Indian Brahmins.

Mahavansa was written by an Indian Mahanama.

So do not believe Mahavansa but Follow Theravada what is left in Ceylon.

BPS in Kandy has most of the books.

One can order them by post.

One of my friends who is a retired Bank Officer who oversees the publications of books on per need basis.

Hela Basa predates Pali.

Pali seems to be a Mahanama creation to satisfy Indians. I have no understanding of Pali and the translation of Hela Basa to Pali was probably a tragedy to Dhamma. 

Mahanama did this with an ulterior motive.

Paranavitana is a British Luminati Agent or Freemason Guy. He was a stooge.

Do not believe him.

He distorted our history to please British Invaders.

I never believed him.

They are all Brahamins (Bamunan in Sinhala) who were all out to destroy Buddhist Origins.

Indians are furious that Lumbini is not in India.

We must stop going to Lumbini.

Indians have done that it could to destroy Buddhism.

Do not trust Indians and their stooges in Hela Diva the  NPP/JVP guys.

Lumbini was a conspiracy created by a German guy (British agent) who had to commit suicide after discovering his frauds including making artificial "Sarvangna Datu".

Indians during British time collected our books and destroyed them having copied/edited them to suit their narrative. This was a Big Plot. British only allowed books to be publish in India.

Covert Operation.

I am a scientis and an archaeologist.

I am recording them here for Young blood to investigate them with the help of veteran Buddhist monks and not the political guys like Ratana Guy.

We have to expose the British vandetta even if it is very late with carbon dating.

Do not let Indians and Ranil Wickramasinghe to destroy our history. 

They are paid by Americans.

They want Mihintale to become an Air Base and Ranil guy has taken this project with full enthusiasm.

Never let him come to power in Ceylon again. 

He is a double agent.

He is American agent.

He is Indian agent.

His sexual orientation is not according to Buddhist beliefs.

It was obvious British  never bothered to learn Sinhala and Pali.

But They could not destroy Sinhala.

Instead, they forced us to learn English..

It was our Buddhist monks who protected our history and the monks did not convert themselves to English traditions whereas laymen were ready to become more British than the British.

They destroyed our Ola Leaves to erase the real history. 

There is saying that History is Written by the Victor. Of Course,  with lot of distortions.

Danish (Denmark) also did lot of pilfering of our Ola Leaves. They invaded the west coast before the British. Portuguese came before that.

I had a brief encounter with a Danish Professor and he was trying to steal our Ola Leaves. I think he was caught at least once. He never told me. My final analysis was he was trying to steal treatment for cancer, written in Ola Leaves. When he came to Ceylon last time I avoided him totally. Information was left saying that I had already left to Australia.

Tamils in the North and Muslims in the East deliberately destroy our Self Lipi or Stone Recordings, even today.

Obviously with the help of Naragamkia NPP/JVP Combo.

Ranil is behind all manipulations.

The British further planted names mentioned in our Ola Leaves in India inappropriately.

They were actually names in Ceylon.

One has to read the Sell Lipi or Stone Carved phrases to unravel the truth.

Sinhala Nation was clever enough to do it in scripted phrases on stone which only some Buddhist monks trained to read them can decipher.

Besides, Buddhist monks saved our Ayurveda or traditional treatment in addition to History and Dhamma.

Match the Sel Lipi with Sinhala books.

History has to be rewritten, again.

Our Country is divided by four rivers.

Mahaveli 

Kalani 

Kulu 

Walawe

Sri Pda is their origin.

There is a belief the rivers start from a big lake called Anotappa Vila (probably gone underground now).

It's proper name should be Mihintale.

The current name is Horton Plane.

History has to be rewritten, according to books possessed and protected by our monks.

Maha Vansa

Deepa Vansa

Tripitaka

Attha Sangini

Maha Meru may be Samanela Kanda in Ceylon.

It is certainly not in India.

Names during Time of Buddha for Ceylon were

Jumbu Deepa

Lanka Deepa

Kuru Deepa

Giri Deepa

This changed to Three

Kuru or Small Deepa was integrated to current Ruhuna.

It was called Sihala Deepa

Lanka Deepa

Naga

Kalyana

Mahiyangana

Yakka, Naga and Deva were different tribes in Ceylon.

Isin Bassa Gala

Trincomale is Thama Titta

Alavwa is where Alaw Yakka reined.

Some of these events are recorded in Burma in Stones Recordings in detail.

Burmish came to Ceylon to establish Upasampada in two ships.

One ship was stranded in Lanka Deepa.

Other reached Kuru Deepa which is Colombo now.

In Dambulla or Dambulu Lena there is a map depicting how Ceylon was divided into 4 religions starting from Mihintale or Horton Plane now.

Situl Pavwa is an important landmark.

Piydasa Sirisena a Catholic guy who changed his name to Anagarika Dharmapla was also part of this conspiracy. He left saying he would never return to Ceylon.

Thank God he ended up in North India.

My mother wanted to go to India or Buddha Gaya. I did not want to let her go alone to India in a "Nade". I wanted to accompany her but could not due to my work commitments.

Of course, I helped her to go to all the Buddhist Vihara in North, North East and East.

I used to ask her why not stay in Kandy where Dalada Maligawa is located which you are already blessed with.

I could not convince her.

There is a poem starting with Maiyanganam, 

Nagadeepan, 

Kalyanam 

Pada Lanchsnam or Sri Pada, 

Deva Guham 

Dega Vapi 

Mutiyanganam 

Murisavatiyam

Tissa Mahaviraram

The verse I cannot remember.

These are not in India

Yakka

Kumbanda

Deva

Naga

Hun As Giriya

Horses were released by Sidhartha.

Tel Deniya

Some of these ancient sites were drowned by British Queen in Bowatenna and Mahaveli Basin.

Gaminie Dissanayake was fooled.

Buddham Gala

Damba or Thana now

Dambana

Dambulla 

Damba Dev

Damba Kola Patuna

Are all Sinhala Names.

Study the Baminitiya Saya or 11 year famine. Even during this period Buddhist monks saved the Pali Thripitaka.

Muhidu Maha Vihara is already under water.

Religion is a Brain Virus

YES, religion is a Brain Virus.

I developed this Theory, long time ago.

I am telling this as a retired medical man and there is no treatment for this malady.

Virus even though, it is not a biological agent get wired into the neural system. The brain encephalins are permanently bound (fixed) and not detoxified thereafter for life.

My mother wanted me to become a monk at young age. I told her if am thrown into a temple, she won't see me again, for life.

Long before I became a medical man I knew 99% of these priests are confimed homosexuals.

I have no problem with homosexuals of 25 years and above but I do not associate with them.

It is revolting to me. It was a criminal offense in UK in early 1980s before this guy Ronald Reagan came to UK and made it legal under Mrs. Margret Thatcher.

I left UK never to return.

Concrete concepts are not developed until after 16 years. Children can be easily indoctrinated and these guys know it.

Read my piece here, in physio-psychological development.

Why I call religion a brain Virus.

Most religions have no understanding in biology let alone physics which need at least 130 IQ to understand the basics. Real nutty guys in physics have IQ above 140.

There is no need for high IQ to follow any form religion. 

This includes Buddhism practised in Ceylon, today. 

Me leaving Ceylon has some relevance.

Just 80 IQ is good enough and significantly brawny politicians (crave for power) have  IQ even below that level.

These political guys become narcissists and that is the biggest danger to world peace.

Unfortunately, dumb guys end up in UNO and they are eternally subjugated.

Current Middle East development epitomizes the "Brain Virus Predicament".

Neither side wants to bow down gracefully.

It becomes a vicious cycle.

Cabbage

Cabbage

Cabbage, as a cruciferous vegetable, can affect thyroid function, particularly in individuals with iodine deficiency or those with existing thyroid conditions. Cabbage contains goitrogens, compounds that can interfere with the thyroid's ability to absorb and utilise iodine, which is crucial for producing thyroid hormones. However, cooking cabbage significantly reduces this effect. 

Cruciferous vegetables are a group of vegetables from the Brassicaceae family, characterised by their flowers with four petals that resemble a cross. They are known for being nutrient rich and include common vegetables like broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, kale, Brussels sprouts, and bok choy. 

Bok choy is a type of Chinese cabbage.

Cabbages are rich in fiber and Vitamin C

Rich in Vitamin K

Rich in Vitamin B6 and B9 (Folate)

It is rich in minerals, Calcium 3%,Potassium 3% Magnesium 3% of the DV

May help the heart

Improve digestive health

1 cup, or 89 grams of cabbage contains:

Calories: 22

Protein: 1g

Fiber: 2g

Vitamin K: 56% of the Daily Value (DV)

Vitamin C: 36% of the DV

Folate: 10% of the DV

Manganese: 6% of the DV

Vitamin B6: 6% of the DV

Flying Officer Grounded

 Posted on January 25, 2011

Flying Officer Grounded
 
You may think that the war efforts are accomplished that most of the flying officers are grounded and will not be flying any more.

Nothing of that kind but a flight record of a blackbox conversation of the final 5 to 7 minutes of ill fated flight of SL (UL-Usually Late) named P.P.P.

Thank god it is not a civilian flight but a training flight with only two involved one surviving and the other succumbing to injuries ending at Maha Brahma's doorstep for another round of the rebirth cycle.

I have to put the middle of the story first (but the beginning will related briefly in the flight record) to make it brief and interesting and I may have to go for another record for how Maha Brama (really his assistant-that part would be interesting) dealt with the emerging crisis.

Flying is a pastime for some (politicians on our money and government coffers) and fantasy for many Sir-Lankans. Many a Sir-Lankan young blood wants to become a flying officer but never get a chance.

I remember I wanted to become a volunteer officer many moons ago but even though I had all the qualifications and the paper work my application never got to the scrutiny table when Public Service  Commission was in operation.

In my case, I was able to make amends and fly almost once a year or more on my own money never a red cent reedemed from the Government and one of my posts  abroad down under was almost a Flying Doctor on distress calls (not me in distress but with adrenaline high and mood elevated). I had to leave my post and carry patients to the nearest hospital with surgical facilities.

It is a different story now that the Chief Minister decides the fate of everybody.

In this story Chief Minister also has a fair share of involvement.

Sit tight and listen to the flight recorded data.

The conversation is between a pelican in current life (Flying Instructor) and the flying officer in training.

You may wonder what the hell the pelican doing in the cockpit.

He was not trapped in air but he was the trainer in white suit with beautiful avian stripes to adorn.

Yes he was the trainer.
Then who was the trainee?

The trainee was a typical Sir-Lankan man who went up the ladder by being a Yes Man all his life without any decoration or qualification to boast about

He was somewhat similar to Bun Ki Moon who is a Yes Man for the big nations and red bully for small nations.

I hope you got the picture.

If he say Yes to big shots he will be sure of another term in UNO.

Our man of course did not have applied mathematics but a forged certificate to say he passed the “O” Level in mathematics applied and general.

The conversation went on like this but rudely terminated in mid air.

Hello Sir!
You are my trainer?

Yes, is there any problem?

No Sir have I got to Sir you.
It depends!

If you end up passing with flying colours yes but not otherwise.

He was bit confused but continued to say SiR to which the pelican with good senses did not object.

He wanted to count how many times he Sirs him during the first flight.

Sir, you have a big beak but no hands.

So Sir, how are you going to help me with the joystick?

I have good eyes and a small brain and they were enough to navigate from Europe to Sir-Lanka to escape from harsh winter believe me I can navigate you, if you listen to me carefully instead of saying Sir.

He firmly ascertained his navigation skills.

Besides you have too hands, don’t you?

Now nose up, flaps up and raise off the ground.

Yes Sir.

Now they were in flight in the first few seconds and the flying officer was inquisitive  enough and wanted to find the loop holes in his flight instructor’s credibility to get some bonus in the first flight itself.

Sir how come you become a trainer in Ceylon (In heaven they still call it Ceylon coming from Cinnamon Garden).

It is easy any foreign joker or a bird can get a job in Sri-Lanka even in supermarkets without knowing the  food habits of locals. You just put a label for export and that works.

I had a export label tagged from my childhood, he said.

Sir who appointed you and turned his head around to the right and the plane,  the two seater veered to the left?

Look what you  are doing get the nose straight, not your butt.

OK Sir!

It is your Chief Minister who appointed me and it is a long story.

But Sir, I would like to hear more, thinking one day he might become a trainer himself by getting in good books with the Chief Minister and  by twisting his arm.

But your ex-chief Minister is a tortoise now.

How come Sir, I thought he went to heaven by the celebration we had after his death.

He never got a chance. The way he abused official vehicles and the way he drove with the entourage annoyed the Maha and he decided to place him down to earth and made him a tortoise.

Sir my goodness will the Maha makes me also a tortoise in my next birth Sir!

In the first place you have to die!
Are you ready for that.

Yes Sir!

This answer pleased the pelican very much since he knew he did not have to train this guy for long.

Where did you meet this Tortoised Chief Minister, SiR?

Near a lake flooded in Batticoloa with a water crab with him.

The water crab was his escort Police Officer. on entourage who could always bend the law of the country for his master’s favour in real life in Sir-Lanka.

But he could not prevent the premature death of the entourage who met with a fatal accident.

SiR why he was made a crab

Two reasons.
It is a delicacy in Sir-Lanka.
This officer could never walk straight with the law, he always side stepped and went horizontally instead of straight.

By birth right he had to be a crab in next life.

SiR will I become a crab in next life.
This was too distracting for the pelican and the plane was in full speed now in turbulent weather.

He said autopilot now!

My friend in excitement put the nose down.
He was only educated in Sinhala and could not read the English word autopilot and he pressed the button right under his nose without reading it's label.

Pelican was very happy now that his flying lesson would end abruptly.

Pelican opened the cockpit door and before making a nose dive said, your first and the last flying lesson are over.

Good bye and slammed the door closed.

To which our yes man said.
Yes Sir!

The rest is history and the blackbox is the only evidence we have now.

Incidentally this plane was taxied from Hambantota and landed nose down in the newly build port at Hambantota.

The blackbox was traced within minutes since the water level of the harbour is deep enough to see even a blackbox from above and our pelican friend hovered around it as if he was looking for a dead body.

That helped the Navy to locate the black box.

Unfortunately the body of the victim was never found and the air force is still looking for the deserted officer in flight training and the flight trainer.

Our flying officer trainer, the pelican disappeared from his post. 

In fact, he vacated his post in mid air.

I will tell you the rest of the story if you could count correctly the number of times this unfortunate grounded officer said Sirs in his first flight lesson instead of concentrating on flying and why the pelican deserted his post!

Flight P.P.P stands for Paksheta Pashsha Pora and I hear even the Pakshaya is having a nose dive now!

Please note even though these stories are quite akin to Buddhist stories and anthology, they are not designed for Dhamma sermons and any recitals without my implied consent will be strictly prohibited.

P.P.P can  even stands for Paksheta Patata Pakshapatha (Pora)

Yes Man’s Luck and the Pedigree Dog’s Exit

 Posted on February 3, 2011

Yes Man’s Luck and the Pedigree Dog’s Exit

You might not realize that the Pelican's misadventure with our Yes Man has resulted in some interesting chain of events.
He turned up immediately at the heaven’s doorstep with a certificate not signed and left blank by our pelican.

It was soon checked to see whether it was authentic and was found to be a true copy given by our pelican.

He had to stay till pelican returned from earth from his routine rounds for further verification..

In the meantime the Maha’s Assistant let him sort out the mail and the documents for the next round of delivery.

His demeanor was very appealing to him and asked the yes man whether he could be an assistant to him for three or four days till pelican returns.

 

True to his nature he said yes, yes.

 

Eventually pelican returned and when he was asked whether he knew about the yes man.

 

Or Yes he is my yes man and when I asked him whether he is ready to die without any hesitation he said yes and that was why he had to abruptly stop his training in mid air.

 

Given some training he could fly any plane anywhere with at least three more pilots provided that he does not manipulate the flying gear but coordinate his actions with the air hostesses at the rear at meal times was his reply.

 

With this recommendation Maha’s Assistant was very impressed.

 

When Maha gave a call from vacation to ask how the things are at heaven, assistant told him the story of the yes man and asked whether he could take some leave and appoint the yes man in his absence.

 

Maha asked why not leave altogether and return to earth and learn some tricks from Paraya dogs so that you can follow suit just like the clever Paraya dog who attained Nibbana with no entry request.

 

Besides. you have been very helpful to me and this is the longest vacation I have had in all my life and you have found a suitable candidate to take your reins, I have no more questions from you and said Good Bye and Good Luck till we see again from earth may be in about 15 years time.

 

Our pedigree dog turned Maha’s Assistant soon afterward call our yes man and asked him whether he is ready to take over.

 

He promptly said yes.

 

Just before he left he told him, you are Maha’s Assistant and nothing more.

 

I knew it from the very beginning Sir he said.

How come?

You never took responsibility and let others take responsibility of your actions and that is the type of job I was looking forward and comfortable..

 

I could never take responsibility on earth and neither in heaven too, he said.

 

You are too good to be here and this arrangement is mutual and when you do come back here I will say yes to anything you ask including the job back.

 

No dear, I now have a better strategy than that but I have to learn the finer points from a Paraya dog.

 

The last Paraya dog whom I met was so clever before I could ask any help he was gone with the wind.

I have to meet some of his relatives in Sri-Lanka and will be back soon in about 15 years.

Till then Good Bye.

As he went he heard somebody saying Yes Sir!

Pelican Story

 

 Posted on February 2, 2011

Pelican Story

He was an ex-income tax officer who was seen as good choice for help for Maha Brahma’s Assistant not only as a Flying Officer but also as a delivery man. 

Pelicans are known to deliver babies to mums at least when the second one arrives unexpectedly and the first one born asks the silly question from where the hell the second one came.

The pelican come into operational requirement of mothers often in the West but not so much here in Ceylon.

In this context as a delivery man he does not have to deliver babies but all what he has to do is to drop baskets full of documents to sea often containing false declarations made by expectant candidates for their next round of birth and to get undue favours from Mahabrahma’s Assistant.

When he thinks something is cooked up especially coming from Ceylon, the assistant delivers them to the pelican to be dropped to sea so that the ink and all the forgeries are wiped out by the ocean currents.

The ocean can take any rubbish come what it may.

On his return pelican has to pick a few back to heaven and the assistant checks to see if any merits are left tangled with the soggy paper and if not delivers them straight to Appaya (AI) International with a tag number for prompt action.

At AI the soggy paper is irradiated with UV light and then a special black ink is sprayed. That is when all the Papa Karmas are exposed for my equation to take cognizant and automatic reprisal by Apaya authorities.

Unlike in the heaven my equation has to be modified when new crimes like that are committed by American investors and speculators are discovered.

Very severe scrutiny is done unlike the Federal Regulators of USA.

The pelican is the go between the Apaya and the Heaven.

In some cases when the documents are landed on high ground or floating ice there is a chance some might escape the sea currents and get a respite but if they are discovered on a subsequent birth it is not the pelican who is punished but the holder of the certificate.

Pelican has no jurisdiction in matters of merits and demerits but only a go between. 

The computer software I developed have subtle mechanism for delaying merits or demerits so, heavy workload is prevented at the  entry point be that it may be Apaya or Heaven.

There was a big backlog before I came in. Maha Brahma was working 24/7.

He deserves a break.

I felt sorry for Maha Brahma and besides, I got an opportunity to be in touch with my favorite dogs from Ceylon.

Pelican navigation skill are considered to be complimentary to the operational mechanics.

How he became a trainer Flying Officer was purely an accident by meeting our crab and the tortoise at the lake side.

He was offered foreign currency initially by the Air Marshal but when he decided to pay that in Sri-Lankann equivalent of Rupees he really got annoyed since neither Apaya nor Heaven recognize Sri-Lankan Rupees.

That is why he deserted the Flying Operations in mid air.

I have suggested a remedy to this situation. Soon a plastic card would be introduced. The plastic card automatically converts the credit balance to the currency type of the country the  moment the pelican enters a particular airspace of a country.

There are few navigational glitches / hitches when the pelican decides to stay in border zones like Palk Straight and the likes.

It is currently worn around the pelican neck and it has dual responsibility of location guide and a currency convertor. 

Until it is fully tested to Apaya satisfaction it will be worn around the neck of our pelican. He may decide to return to his substantive post on Earth but that is all at the Apaya or Heaven discretion.

Yes Man’s Luck and the Pedigree Dog’s Exit

 February 3, 2011
Yes Man’s Luck and the Pedigree Dog’s Exit
 
One might not realize that the pelican's misadventure with our Yes Man resulted in some interesting chain of events.

He turned up immediately at the heaven’s doorstep with a certificate not signed and left blank by our pelican.

It was soon checked to see whether it was authentic and was found to be a true copy given by our pelican.

He had to stay till pelican returned from earth from his routine rounds for further verification..

In the meantime, the Maha’s Assistant let him sort out the mail and the documents for the next round of delivery.

His demeanor was very appealing to him and asked the yes man whether he could be an assistant to him for three or four days till pelican returns.

True to his nature he said yes, yes.

Eventually pelican returned and when he was asked whether he knew about the yes man.

Or Yes he is my yes man and when I asked him whether he is ready to die without any hesitation he said yes and that was why he had to abruptly stop his training in mid air.

Given some training he could fly any plane anywhere with at least three more pilots provided that he does not manipulate the flying gear but coordinate his actions with the air hostesses at the rear at meal times, was his reply.

With this recommendation Maha’s Assistant was very impressed.

When Maha gave a call from vacation to ask how the things are at heaven, assistant told him the story of the yes man and asked whether he could take some leave and appoint the yes man in his absence.

Maha asked why not leave altogether and return to earth and learn some tricks from Paraya dogs so that you can follow suit just like the clever Paraya dog who attained Nibbana with no entry request.

Besides, you have been very helpful to me and this is the longest vacation I have had in all my life and you have found a suitable candidate to take your reins, I have no more questions from you and said Good Bye and Good Luck till we see again from earth, may be in about 15 years time.

Our pedigree dog turned Maha’s Assistant soon afterward call our yes man and asked him whether he is ready to take over.

He promptly said yes.

Just before he left he told him, you are Maha’s Assistant and nothing more.

I knew it from the very beginning Sir he said.

How come?

You never took responsibility and let others take responsibility of your actions and that is the type of job I was looking forward and comfortable..

I could never take responsibility on earth and neither in heaven, he said.

You are too good to be here and this arrangement is mutual and when you do come back here I will say yes to anything you ask including the job back.

No dear, I now have a better strategy than that but I have to learn the finer points from a Paraya dog.

The last Paraya dog whom I met was so clever before I could ask any help he was gone with the wind.

I have to meet some of his relatives in Ceylon and will be back in about 15 years.

Till then Good Bye.

As he went he heard somebody saying Yes Sir!

Plot inside the Plane

 Saturday, February 4, 2012
Plot inside the Plane

I had a long night sleep and woke up with a very nice dream.
 

I was in a plane and I was 20 years younger.

The scenario played was as if they were trying to match me a girl who was of a different race and quite young.
The instruction was to interview the said person and handover an important portfolio to the lady.
It was very important portfolio and the interview had to be done inside a plane where radio-communication had to be dead.

Nobody could know that this interview has had happened on terrestrial arena.
This was like an American President  makes a very important decisions while on flight from one city to another.
I did not ask why they selected me for this interview as the interviewer.
It was top secret mission.
The opening scenario was like matchmaking and hitchhiking.
I was introduced to the lady who looked smart by his brother.
He was teasing her and saying that she ought to be able to play good old games and not modern games.
There was a obvious a generation gap and I felt old myself.
 

My opening question was could she play card games.
She looked at her brother and said, that 94, Ormie and 304 (last two are  Sir-Lankan card games and the first one I have never heard, before).

Then I asked can you play bridge?
She said no.
That's very good.
Why?
You may be able to make a nice cup of tea or coffee, instead of teasing your brain with bride contracts.

Then I was woken up quite pleased but baffled.

Today is our Independence Day and this must surely have some important logic.

I immediately I posted this to Maha Brahma.

The dream I had before this dream was kept in reserve for a future date.
As usual Maha was prompt in his M.V.M (Maha's Voice Mail).

I asked him, why did you interrupt the dream.
I did not, he said.
You may have interrupted it fearing a heart attack with the possibility of a match making with a girl half of your age.

I said it is a done thing nowadays in this country and the fellow dies soon and the girl inherits everything what the first wife would have got.

I said I was interviewing for an important protocol and it was not light hearted.
I said I was crossed with that interruption, with whoever who did it in the first instance.

Then he said, it is most likely a politician who had tapped into your system.
Why?
I have no political inclinations.
But you love peace, don't you?
YES, everybody likes Peace
 

Do you like to hear the interpretation?
Yes.

Interpretation
Do you have any dealing with A.P.C.
I do not belong to any party and I have no connection to All Party Conference.
Besides, I am am not a MP but a good citizen by descent but have no role to play.
You are wrong.

In your dream you were selected as the best person to represent Ordinary People.
 

You had a 10 point plan.
Did I?

All of them are good but politicians hate your proposals.
That may have been the reason for interruption to your dream.
I told him I cannot remember anything about the 10 points.
Calm down my boy.
 

I have recorded them for you.

Can you state them slowly.
Why?

I want to write them in a piece of paper and post them in my blog post.
 

Can I state the copyright belongs to you.
Why?
Media freedom is available only to a few in government guys like FBI, with this SOAP operation, in full swing in America.

Is it globally applicable.
YES.

Are you ready?
Yes, SIR

1. Number 1
Abolish the Presidency.
My heavens!
How can we do that?
This, American president can take any country to his palm and decide its fate now or never.
Why never?
If the country does not listen he can decimate it with a press of a button.
One nuclear arsenal is enough but some countries like Israel are protected.
Why?
I do not know?
Ask the president and the secretary.
Can this be applied to Ceylon.
 

You got to be kidding!


2. Number 2
Do not have a National Flag.
That is a wonderful idea.
Why?
We do not have to hoist it on a cold January morning and only two third will rise to it and one third will not.
In times of war it is one less item to be carried to the war front.
Besides American would be spared of this gesture of burning it in front of their embassy with religious flavour.

What about the UNO?
If we do not have national flags UNO could be closed for good.
That is excellent predicament.

3. Number 3
Abolish all political parties.
I don't like it Sir.
Why?
Two reasons, Sir.
We become a one party state.
Second we will not have the fun of watching the ruling party making all the tricks to destroy the aspiring opposition.
Beside we do not watch cricket now and this is the only game to watch on daily basis.
Without politics people will starve to death.
If coconut goes to Rs.100/= we have a party to blame, especially those who are in power.
I do not like that idea at all.
We all are political animals.


4. Number 4
Ban all the National Anthems.
That is a very good idea.
Why?
We can start a football game or any game without hoisting the flag and the anthem.
We can finish all the games five minutes early even if one is watching them on TV.
If we count the number of games played in and year and multiply by five we have an enormous saving for productive work for one's own country.

Do you have national anthem in heaven.
NOPE.

5. Number 5
Ban allocating colours to political parties and countries.
I do not see any advantage of that at all in that proposal.
This is an environmentally friendly gesture.
The we will have only greens and nothing else.
Besides it saves lot in paint usage for political purposes.
Colours are only for the advertisement industry.
Every time a government changes the industry guys / girls do not have to paint their business place with the colour of the ruling party.
I am sorry I did not think that way.

6. Number 6
Cancel Elections
This comes as a collateral advantage of not having parties.

7. Number 7
Have one universal language.
I am not going to propose any current language.
It should be like a computer language.

8. Number 8
Cancel the Z-score
That is very exciting.
How do we conduct examinations?
I have a very simple solution.
Give a common paper.
If all the students do not get 100 out of 100, sack the teacher.
Then re-train the teachers to teach.
That looks promising.

9. Number 9
Close all universities for good.
That is very retrogressive know?
No, it will save lot of agony for the current government.
There is no minister.
There are no professors.
There are no salary issues.
There are no industrial actions.
Then what happens to me.

Go and start treating patients instead of teaching good values.

What are you going to do with the money saved?
That is a very good question.

10. Number 10
Ban all weapons of destruction globally.

The money saved should be used to teach this.
That is the only education mankind needs now.
All these schools should be raised to University Level.
Only have one professorship.
That is the Professor of Peace at all times.

Then all these institutes like Amnesty International and the N.G.Os who are selling Peace for Money will cease to exist and world peace will prosper.

Ten Points Peace Plan

This was adapted from one of my OLD Dreams but edited to suit current developments. I had some help from Maha Brahma's Assistant.

Ten Points Peace Plan
 

1. Number 1
Abolish the post of Presidency.
My heavens!
How can we do that?
This, American president can take any country to his palm and decide it's fate now or never.

Why never?
If the country does not listen he can decimate it with a press of a button.
One nuclear arsenal is enough but some countries like Israel are protected.

Why?
I do not know?
Ask the president and his secretary.

Can this be applied to Ceylon.

4. Number 4

That is a very good idea.

Why?
We can start a football game or any game without hoisting the flag and the anthem.

We can finish all the games five minutes early even if one is watching them on TV.
If we count the number of games played in an year and multiply that by five (minutes) we have an enormous saving of time for productive work for one's own country.

Do you have national anthem in heaven.
NOPE.

5. Number 5
Ban allocating colours to political parties and countries.

I do not see any advantage at all in that proposal.

Just wait a minute, I would explain the benefits.
This is an environmentally friendly gesture.
Then, we will have only greens and no other colours.
Besides, it saves the use of paints for political decorations.
All the other Colours are released for business ventures and the advertisement industry.
Every time a government changes the industry guys / girls do not have to paint their business places with the colour of the ruling party.

I am sorry I did not think that way.

6. Number 6
Cancel Elections
This comes as a collateral advantage of not having parties.

7. Number 7
Have one universal language.
I am not going to propose any current language.
Instead, I propose Python the long long computer language.

8. Number 8
Cancel the Z-score
That is very exciting.
How do we conduct examinations?
I have a very simple solution.
Give a common paper.
If all the students do not get 100 out of 100, sack the teacher.

There is no minister.
There are no professors.
There are no salary issues.
There are no industrial actions.
Then what happens to me.

Go and start treating patients instead of teaching good values to students.

What are you going to do with the money saved?

That is a very good question.

Go on a safari holiday.

10. Number 10
Ban all weapons of mass destruction.

The money saved should be used to teach one subject.

The subject is Global Preace.
That is the only education mankind needs.
All the schools should be raised to University Level.
Have only one professorship.
That is called the Professor of Peace at all times.

Then all these institutes like Amnesty International and the N.G.Os who are selling Peace for Money will cease to exist.

The world peace will prosper without any expenditure.

Best Health Drink is TEA not Coffee

Green Tea and Black Tea
Protective against some cancers

Protects the heart
Relieve anxiety
Improve cognition

Improve memory.
These properties are seen even with brown tea.
Tea has phenol and polyphenols which are anti-inflammatory agents.

Tea is the best antioxidant drink.

 
It has carotene which is conveyed to Vitamin A
Thiamine or Vitamin B1, I call B1 the energy vitamin
Pyridoxine or Vitamin B6. I call  B6 the brain vitamin.
Pantothenic acid or Vitamin B5. I call B5 the neurotransmitter vitamin.
Also help in biosynthesis of steroids.
It helps in red cell synthesis.
Tea also boosts immunity.
It is anti-inflammatory
Ward off cancer
Heart Friendly

In addition Vitamin C helps in absorption of Iron. 

Iron, Vitamin B12 and Folic acid (B9) helps in red cell synthesis. 

ACE in addition to prevention of oxidation, indirectly helps in synthesis of red cells.

Aging Gracefully

 Aging Gracefully

Reproduction with Beauty
This is a reproduction and it is a beautiful piece.
I agree with all except being FAT.
Practically everything else is what I say and practice.
It is related to  Moment Meditation (MM) and that is all what we all have in common and not taken care of.
If every one enjoys the present moment this world is going to be a wonderful place.
 

One does not need to be old to practice it.
Unfortunately Wisdom comes too late to enjoy.

I have some proviso's for the elderly, though.
I give the physiological reason afterword.

1. Don't have a big booze, especially one for the door.
 

2. Don't come out when it is freezing cold outside without adequate warm clothing. 

Drinking cold beverages is an equivalent scenario.
 

3. Staining at stools is one of the bad predicament for the elderly. 

Which is bit more complex than a cold drink.4. Don't walk against the breeze.

 
4. Don't walk up a hill with heavy luggage in both hands.
 

5. Enjoy your sleep especially the dreams.
 

6. Don't do vigorous exercise without slow and gradual warm up (this applies to young, too).
 

7. Alcohol causes vasodilatation (that include coronaries, too).
When one comes out after the one for the door one is exposed to cold weather which triggers intense vasoconstriction which shoots up the Blood Pressure.
This combination is bad for both heart and brain.
Trigger Heart Attacks and Strokes.
 

If one is predisposed it will also bring about heart failure and pulmonary oedema which compromise everything that one had enjoyed inside.
 Others also have similar mechanisms except that the exercise can bring about 

8. Asthma in the predisposed especially the cold air which start the episode with cough.
 

9. Bottom line is keep warm and avoid scenarios of excessive vasodilatation and constriction.
 

10. Enjoy what is left of life. No procrastination. I would do it tomorrow.

Sorry for the preamble but enjoy what is below which is very beautiful writing.

If you have time read my dreams and their interpretations in this blog and elsewhere.
I have already two volumes in Amazon (both print and digital).
Most of them are futuristic and when one retires, one can be happy that we are leaving this world at relative peace.
 

In future with global warming and food scarcity, would will have a very Big Impact to which America, India, China, Brazil and more importantly UNO is not ready.
They are putting everything under the carpet and think some of my environmental prediction will never will come.
It is like ostrich hiding his head under sand.
 

Reproduction
Reproduction with Beauty
As I've aged.
I've  become kinder to myself, and less critical of  myself.  
I've become my own friend.  

I  have seen too many dear friends leave this  world, too soon; before they understood the  great freedom that comes with aging.  

Whose business is it,  if I choose to read, or play, on the computer,  until 4 AM, or sleep until noon?   

I will  dance with myself to those wonderful tunes of  the 60 &70's, and if I, at the same time,  wish to weep over a lost love, I will. 

I  will walk the beach, in a swim suit that is  stretched over a bulging body, and will dive  into the waves, with abandon, if I choose to,  despite the pitying glances from the jet  set. 

They, too, will get old.  

I  know I am sometimes forgetful.
But there  again, some of life is just as well forgotten.
And, I eventually remember the important  things.
Sure, over the years, my heart  has been broken.  
How can your heart not  break, when you lose a loved one, or when a  child suffers, or even when somebody's beloved  pet gets hit by a car?  
But, broken hearts  are what give us strength, and understanding and compassion.  
A heart never broken, is  pristine, and sterile, and will never know the  joy of being imperfect. 

I am so blessed to  have lived long enough to have my hair turning  grey to have my youthful laughs be forever etched into deep grooves on my face.
So  many have never laughed, and so many have died  before their hair could turn silver.  

As you  get older, it is easier to be positive.
You care  less about what other people think.
I don't  question myself anymore.
I've even earned the  right to be wrong.  

So, to  answer your question, I like being old.  
It  has set me free.  
I like the person I have  become.  
I am not going to live forever,  but while I am still here, I will not waste time  lamenting what could have been, or worrying  about what will be.  
And I shall eat  dessert every single day (if I feel like  it).

Dream 25 and its interpretation

Dream 25
I was in an air port.
This airport was different and I had to purchase the ticket from the airport counter itself.
There were lot of other people queuing to by tickets.
Lot of them looked like refugees trying to enter a new country.
I had one heavy luggage and a light handbag.
Somehow I managed to get a ticket for the immediate flight.
I checked the heavy luggage in a hurry.
Then I entered an area which looked like the departure lounge but looked very primitive.
I went into a gate to inquire and they checked my ticket with the only computer they had and said I have to wait for another 9 hours, for the flight.
 

When I asked why?
I was told that the pilot had not reported for work.
I felt strange.
They then told me the real departure lounge is a walking distance away from where we were and there are no taxis to take you there.
It is a nice walkaway, by the side of the Hotel International, I was told.
Since I had a very light hand luggage, I decided to take a stroll.
I walked passed the hotel, thinking it was only a joyride.
Moment I passed the hotel, I went into a heavily buildup area and lost my way.
I asked a passerby to show me the way and he said go straight and down.
I went up straight and ended up on top of a steep wall and there was no way to climb down.
Then by stroke of luck I found a side walk which was dirty and rickety.
With difficulty I finally reached the bottom which led to what looked like a street market.
There were lot of people who were doing lot of road side buying and selling.
Quite like, London in medieval times.
I felt I had been laid the wrong garden path.
To begin with, I lost all my belongings with my heavy luggage at the entrance of what for all intents and purposes was a bogus airport.
I was frightened and woke up immediately.
 

Posted this to Maha Brahma after the dream 26 was posted, thinking this has no relevance to it.
Maha immediately responded and asked me why this was not posted with the other.
I said I did not see any connection.

 
Interpretation
He said this has a direct relationship.
You will know it better when I expand on the story.
In your dream 26 I said one has to follow 10 points.
YES.
If Sri-Lankan do not follow those instructions to the letter, what I am going to say now will happen in about 50 years, he said.
Things are not rosy in 50 years time.
Why?
Can you guess?
Global Warming.
No.
Global warming is already set in and it won't change.
I think so.
It was only yesterday my pet fishes were almost cooked to dinner from direct sunlight.
All of them were floating on top of the water and I rescued them in nick of time and put them in some buckets that contained cooler water.
Had I come half an hour late, all of them would have been dead.
What did you do afterward.
I changed the water with some cool water I had collected for an emergency.
Then I covered the top and side with black plastic sheeting.
Fixed a new filter.
Put the air compressor on full throttle.
Did your fish die?
Thank god, not this time!
I checked the indoor temperature later which was 90 Fahrenheit and outside was probably higher.
Fish die at 84 F and it was touch and go scenario.
Can you have a second guess.
 

No fossil fuel and no planes.
That's right my boy.
In fifty years from now there are no fossil fuel and no airbus industry.
The airports built now will be idling and the industry that were built around them will go bankrupt.
Soon the the jungle take over the periphery.
But there will be few animals and the entire elephant fleet in the jungle is not more than fifty.
They roam in 5 to 10 in a herd and go violent moment they see humans.
Since humans now do not have jeeps or vehicles and have to travel by foot elephants do not fear humans anymore.
They rule the little vegetation that is there.
Global warming has caused untold misery in this country and it is no different from Dubai where England now play cricket with Pakistan.
 

Why did you interrupt my dream?
If I left it for another five minutes you would have lost the hand luggage and, you thought of hiding in the jungle nearby.
Had you entered there for cover the elephants will trample you to death.
I had to intervene for your safety.
Can you tell me where this place was?
The name is something like Hambantota.

 
I got it.
See you soon.
OK.
