Android-Remix for PCs=Update

Android Remix for PC is available in torrent for download in both 32 and 64 bit versions.
I am currently downloading (extracting the ZIP) for testing.
Post you the results soon!
I am disappointed.
64 bit Zip file has an error and does not extract fully.
It does not boot (32 bit version) probably, it is looking for a Touch Screen TV.
I do not bother to buy a touch screen for testing anyway.
I want my TV screen crystal clear without thumb / finger prints.
It does not have Linux or DOS short cuts to see (Ctrl+Alt+F1 or Esc ) what it is currently doing.
So please do not try, if you are hard press for time.
I went to sleep early and woke up early and nothing else to do, just tested it.
My 64 bit computer is down with the fan broken into two pieces.
That is why I tested the 32 bits version on an old IBM.
The Linux Magazine version has 64 bit ISO as a zip.
I won't bother to write an image.
Sorry Android Guys/Girls, I wish I could say something good.
My cardinal principle is never put a Linux Utility without testing thorough!
It kills the interest of the USER.
I am not a user anyway.

Arthur C. Clarke and UFOs.

I am intrigued why Arther C Clerk not writing anything about UFOs.

He would have been one of the earliest guys to have seen UFOs.

UFO recording were reported during the latter part of the war and Hitler had a program which Americans hijacked.

1. He was in the Air Force.

2. He was a radar communication officer.

3. He was a pilot.

4. He was active when Roswell incident happened.

5. Why his services were terminated?

6. He believed in God.

6. Why did he come to Ceylon (apart from his sexual exploits)?

7. Did the MI5 ask him to shut his mouth?

No disclosure of facts and events.

Just being a gentleman, he probably kept this secret all his life.

Instead, he put his effort to Science fiction.

I never read any of his books (simply because they were fiction) to make my own observations.

Was he part of the cover up?

Was he a victim of powerful military?

He had all the credentials including a degree in physics.

We will never know the truth!

 

Second World War

During the Second World War from 1941 to 1946 he served in the Royal Air Force as a radar specialist and was involved in the early-warning radar defense system, which contributed to the RAF's success during the Battle of Britain. Clarke spent most of his wartime service working on ground-controlled approach (GCA) radar, as documented in the semi-autobiographical Glide Path, his only non-science-fiction novel. Although GCA did not see much practical use during the war, it proved vital to the Berlin Airlift of 1948–1949 after several years of development. Clarke initially served in the ranks, and was a corporal instructor on radar at No. 2 Radio School, RAF Yatesbury in Wiltshire. He was commissioned as a pilot officer (technical branch) on 27 May 1943.

He was promoted flying officer on 27 November 1943. He was appointed chief training instructor at RAF Honiley in Warwickshire and was demobilized with the rank of flight lieutenant.

Post-war

After the war he attained a first-class degree in mathematics and physics from King's College London. After this he worked as assistant editor at Physics Abstracts. Clarke then served as chairman of the British Interplanetary Society from 1946 to 1947 and again from 1951 to 1953.

When is the date of the Disclosure of the UFO Scenario?

When is the date of the Disclosure of the UFO Scenario?

Is it impending?

All my indications are it is impending and the timing of the US Presidential election has torpedoed everything including who will declare it.

How Russia will use this election to puts its moles in the next US administration is another factor.

If it is declared NOW its snowballing effect nobody with the right mind can predict.

Now what is happening is the Domino Effect?

Since I cannot predict the date I will write about the Domino Effect?

Who will declare it?

That is the driving force for the Domino Effect.

It is actually a bulling scenario where one leader after another falls, till all the potential leaders withdraws from the context.

It is the “Lame Duck” effect.

This is vital for the outcome.

In other words, all the leaders that fall will become historical puppets and one who is left has to take the pieces and unite the world with “Oneness”.

In fact, this “Global” guy or girl has to mount a unified effect to calm the people and bring order out of disorder (physics term chaos).

I cannot tell who but I can eliminate guys and girls.

1. First I am out but my contribution is the book which will be out soon “Conspiracies in Religion, Politics and Science”.

It just gives a preview of the human political psychology which might prepare one for the scenario and there are two chapters one the theoretical and the other the historical (conspiracy) perspective.

2. President Obama is out as he is the Lame Duck President now.

He should have done this in 2012 for some strange reason he did not.

3. The Current Pope is out since if he does he has to burn large amount of archived documents.

Which is a pity.

3. UK Prime Minister out since, if one becomes an accessory to a grand conspiracy there is no way out.

4. UK Labour Leader is out by the very fact that he is out off power within and outside.

I pity the Labour Party.

5. What about a South American country?

Out by two counts.

They are dominated by drug lords or the divine lords.

6. What about Israel?

Improbable due to its global financial control.

7. What about Ceylon, the champion of non-alignment of yesteryear?

Out by many a mile, as all the astrologers disagreeing on an auspicious time to DECLARE by a wide margin.

Reason they think Ceylon is the center of the universe.

They cannot decide, the center within the center be that it may be Galle, Kandy or Jaffna.

They still work on only 12 planets.

8. What about France?

Very likely candidate given its Renaissance.

9. What about Germany?

Likely candidate but Putin has to brainwash Angela Merkel.

10. What about Japan?

Very unlikely since with the declaration motor industry will come to a standstill.

11. By default I think only Russia can (or will) do it.

There is only one Achilles Heel (Hell) is the current Presidential campaign with, which horse to back.

He is having a “psychopathic regurgitation” of America and probably enjoying it all the same. 

The timing will be “Christmas Eve” since he will have a bit of a swipe at the expense of the Holy One!

I is a powerful letter in English.

I
 
I is a powerful letter in English.
 
Not only because it creates I concept.

I exist and What matters is I (exclude all the other I entities).

In Buddhism cardinal teaching IS that I does not exist, since there are many others Is around this, IMPORTANT (me) I, in both the animal and plant Kingdoms.

Moment one takes the I out and consider there are other hungry Is around us, we begin to practice Metta Meditation (That is the only one I practice not, Insight Meditation).

So this is a beginning point for one to Lose Weight.
You rear a cat or dog.
You feed the cat or dog first.
You feed your kids and friends around you.
The excess food is dished out first.
 
The cardinal feature is YOU eat last and you eat less to survive.

Eat to live not “Live to eat like all Sri-Lankans”.
 
Obesity is looked after if you substitute all animal foods and animal fats with coconut oil or Pol Sambol.
Having fed my pet fish including the tiny guppy I cannot sit and eat some fish flesh.

This is nothing to do with Buddhism but pure altruism!
Another step forward in Metta.
 
Is there a substitute for Meat/Flesh.
 
Luckily in 1970s when (under SLFP) when people were killing for a loaf of bread we developed the “Thriposa (of cause with added animal flesh like sprats and offal) Program.

Now that  a Sri-Lankan company has developed a “Samposa Brand” (based on Thriposa) of 4G Snack (four types of Grains) with sugared chocolate (I am against the sugaring or coating, though), one or two snacks is a good substitute for bread, buns and cakes (much better nutrition).

I have not left out (I hate pure fresh milk) milk.
 
(Now I hate Sri-Lankan Tea which is made out of discard (used for manure in good old days) at the Colombo Auction).
Good brand is labeled at Two Rupees a Gram (1).
 
We have a number of new Yogurt Drinks with Probiotis.
One can easily make yogurt at home with a Yogurt Maker, now at room temperature with the "Global Warming in Full Swing".

That part is for Losing Weight with bit of mild exercise and writing as a pastime, NOT Blogging!
 
One can lose more weight if  you get rid of the fridge and freezer and do once in three day purchase of essentials!

By the way, Fridge can be used for keeping milk products contributing to global warming Directly.

Breast Milk is meant to be dished out only when needed (not in storage) in mammals.

Now coming to my other Is which are much important than self I.

I for Investigation (observation).
 
I for Interpretation.
 
I for Integration.

I for Incarceration (free thinking too with dogmas)
 
I for Investing the thought processes (not for conspiracy) for the right (good) purpose at the right time in "Now Nows".

Not necessarily for Meditation!
 
I for Infection.
 
I for Inflammation.
 
I for Immunity.

Last three are of course the pathological terms in use.

Elephants-Nagawagga-Thoughts

320. As an elephant in the battlefield withstands arrows shot from bows all around, even so shall I endure abuse. 

There are many, indeed, who lack virtue.

321. A tamed elephant is led into a crowd, and the king mounts a tamed elephant. 
Best among men is the subdued one who endures abuse.

322. Excellent are well-trained mules, thoroughbred Sindhu horses and noble tusker elephants. 
But better still is the man who has subdued himself.

323. Not by these mounts, however, would one go to the Untrodden Land (Nibbana), as one who is self-tamed goes by his own tamed and well-controlled mind.

324. Musty during rut, the tusker named Dhanapalaka is uncontrollable. Held in captivity, the tusker does not touch a morsel, but only longingly calls to mind the elephant forest.

325. When a man is sluggish and gluttonous, sleeping and rolling around in bed like a fat domestic pig, that sluggard undergoes rebirth again and again.

326. Formerly this mind wandered about as it liked, where it wished and according to its pleasure, but now I shall thoroughly master it with wisdom as a mahout controls with his ankus an elephant in rut.

327. Delight in heedfulness! Guard well your thoughts! Draw yourself out of this bog of evil, 
even as an elephant draws himself out of the mud.
328. If for company you find a wise and prudent friend who leads a good life, you should, overcoming all impediments, keep his company joyously and mindfully.
329. If for company you cannot find a wise and prudent friend who leads a good life, then, like a king who leaves behind a conquered kingdom, 
or like a lone elephant in the elephant forest, 
you should go your way alone.
330. 
Better it is to live alone; 
there is no fellowship with a fool. 
Live alone and do no evil; 
Be carefree like an elephant in the elephant forest.
331. Good are friends when need arises; good is contentment with just what one has; good is merit when life is at an end, and good is the abandoning of all suffering (through Arahantship).

332. In this world, good it is to serve one's mother, good it is to serve one's father, good it is to serve the monks, and good it is to serve the holy men.

333. Good is virtue until life's end, good is faith that is steadfast, good is the acquisition of wisdom, and good is the avoidance of evil.

Dhanapala, The Elephant

Buddhist Monks who own elephants shoulld read this verse from Dhammapada

Verse 324: 

Conversion

Conversion
Lack of imagination and insight leads to a state of mind called conversion. It is a fix or rigid state of mind filled with prejudices, be that it may, religion, nationality, race, caste, creed or any other cultural dogma.
I believe this is where the cultural instinct get ingrained.
If a particular population is isolated and not exposed to the rest of the world civilizations, and when there are many such isolations, it is easy for many dogmas to spin off independent of the others.
Man’s irresistible urge of migration has brought these dogmas face to face with conflicts. As a result of these conflicts some dogmas disappear and some get established.
This is probably residing in our genome.
Religion is one exit point.
The black and white race is another universal dogma.
Race is another.
All are end points of conversion strategy of mankind.
Any other dogma falls within this frame work.
The existence of god and a creation of an almighty wisdom are byproducts.
Once inside this dogma, science takes a back seat.
Albert Einstein put this succinctly.
Science without religion is lame and religion without science is blind.

Imagination

Imagination
Children are born with imagination to make up for their lack of conceptualization of a given situation. Once one becomes an adult and able to conceptualize a given problem (at his or her level of competence), unfortunately, one loses this ability to think imaginatively.
The man’s creativity lies in this faculty of imagination.
The religion uses this transition period (lack of creative thinking ability) to insinuate bizarre concepts.
The god created this world is one such imaginary concepts. I do not blame anyone for looking up, at the sky, for an imaginary god and then find stars as gods.
The concept of god is an example of human capacity for imagination. There is is nothing wrong in it but this imaginary world is put as a dogma, the problems start to crop up. More and more dogmas are put in this realm, often without insight.
The scientific reasoning is muted from the  very beginning.
It becomes a dogma when enough followers take up the same conviction. 
It leads to a belief system and there is no end to its influence and expansion, very often not tested for credibility.
Unfortunately, “Big Bang Theory” of creation of the universe has fallen into this trap. We have not put an alternative theory to counteract it. This has made the science to ignore the Dark Matter and its hidden physics.
In material world one can use imagination to create an end product and one can test it for its suitability (fit for purpose).
But in the immaterial world or paranormal psychology there is no way of testing the empirical (verifiable by observation or experience rather than theory or pure logic) experience.
It is an individual experience, not verifiable by a third party.
One avenue to verify, if something is imagined or real is insight into the given predicament. It has to be done by the individual who has imagined it in the first place (with average intelligence).
What the individuals with higher intelligence should do is to help them into insightful thinking. What has happened in history is the exact the opposite.
We have more people with average intelligence and only a minority with superior intelligence. The intelligent lot knows the predicament of the less intellectual soul and coerced them into either realm of fear or dogma.
The end point of imagination is the creation of a dogma.
That is something worthwhile avoiding.
Keeping an open mind is the exit strategy.

Insight

Insight
The meaning of insight in medical terms is  powerful.
In psychiatric terminology one who has lost insight to his or her predicament is actually has a major psychiatric disorder.
It is the marker of insanity.
Most of the other disorders with insight into the plight of an individual in a given stressful situation are minor psychiatric disorders.
In depressive illnesses, one who has lost insight to the given predicament is said to have Endogenous Depression.
One who has insight into the predicament is called Reactive Depression.
Insight into a scientific problem is what propels the science forward.
What it means is given a certain scientific problem, one has to delve into its core and bring out a meaningful explanation for the occurrence of a particular phenomenon.
Often there are no measurements or data.
A hypothesis is developed to explain the phenomenon and thereafter it is tested for its validity.
Insight by its nature predates the hypothesis.
 
Insight can be of used outside the scientific arena and may herald clever resolution of complicated conflicts, especially political. We could say Nelson Mandela’s approach to apartheid showed his mature political insight.

Coconut Conspiracy

Coconut Conspiracy
One must replace "Coconut Oil" with "Pol Kiri" and "Pol Sambol".
However, Oil can be used on hair and skin liberally.
Abstract to begin with.
Coconut oil consist of Medium-Chain Fatty Acids (MCFAs).
It is a ready made energy source which can replace sugar (10 grams sugar = 1 gram of Coconut Oil roughly) weight for weight.
One does not become hungry.
It does not stimulate Insulin.
It gives more energy and it is not stored as body fat.
Body fat is long chain fatty acids.

It is useful both in Diabetes and Hypothyroidism.
In diabetes it replaces carbohydrates as an energy source, so Insulin requirement is reduced.
 
In hypothyroidism since it provides freely available energy, it cuts down the need for more thyroxin for metabolism keep warm. Not only that it probably helps in hormonal balance (homeostasis) of the thyroid. Goitre is rare in countries where coconut oil is the staple oil.

In pre-diabetes and early hypothyroidism it retards obesity due to above two actions.
 
I am not sure about its role in normal adults.
 
There is a caveat, if you take more “Oil” than YOU need for your metabolism, all the benefits are nullified.

One should avoid other fats including hydrogenated coconut oil.

For thousands of years, coconuts have been a staple of tropical cuisines, and those who followed a traditional coconut-based diet, such as Pacific Islanders, had none of the heart disease, cancer, diabetes, or other illnesses that plague modern America (at least until they switched to Western oils and diet).

Coconut had a solid reputation in America in the first half of the last century, at least for those who knew about, especially after it's benefits became well known from soldiers in the Pacific Theater of World War II.
However, this all changed in 1950s, from “Three "Tragic" Research Papers", whose data were doctored to suit American Conspiracy.
 
One lady researcher in America fed mice with hydrogenated (not pure coconut oil)  coconut oil and doctored a paper to say coconut oil is bad to promote Pea Nut Oil. She committed suicide when it was widely known that she manipulated the data.
 
In 1954, a researcher D. K. published two academic papers. The initial research described the effects of feeding cholesterol to rabbits and indicated that this may lead to the formation of blocked arteries and thus contribute to potential heart disease. 
In his second paper he described the beneficial effects of consuming polyunsaturated fatty acids from the oil of corn, soybeans, safflower and sunflower seeds for the lowering, at least temporarily, of cholesterol in the blood. 
Although many studies at a later time had also shown research to the contrary, the mud stuck and by the mid 60’s the reputation of all saturated oils in America had been destroyed.

Then comes the "Marketing Machine" of big business.
The well oiled marketing machinery funded by the soy bean and corn industry and supported by the American Heart Association was committed to change the American Diet, calling among others, for the substitution of saturated fats for polyunsaturates.
Today worldwide heart disease is still on the increase and obesity, linked to the “new” American diet is a major social problem.
 
All saturated fats are not created equal.
The travesty of these actions was that one of nature’s most amazing resources, tropical oils, and especially coconut oil with all its functional, nutritional and pharmaceutical possibilities, has been lost to modern medicine for decades. 
Although saturated, coconut oil is structurally, pharmaceutically and behaviorally different to any other natural oil or fat.
Coconut Oil is one of the healthiest things you can put in [and on] your body!
 What are some of the health benefits of coconut oil being reported?
Some of the most recent research has come from people suffering from Alzheimer’s disease, with reports of people improving or even reversing the effects of Alzheimer’s by using coconut oil, as drug trials on Alzheimer’s drugs continue to fail.
We have also seen a lot of reports of coconut oil health benefits from those suffering from hypothryroidism, as coconut oil helps boost metabolism and raise body temperatures to promote thyroid health.
Restricting carbohydrates (do not eat RICE) and increasing coconut oil in the diet has also led many to report losing weight with coconut oil.
Candida sufferers also report health benefits with coconut oil as research now confirms, and those suffering from various skin diseases are also seeing tremendous health benefits by applying coconut oil directly on the skin.
The benefits of coconut oil for healthy hair are also well known, and other healthy benefits of coconut oil included fighting off bacterial infections and viruses.
 
Coconut oil (Pol Kiri with Divul was my prescription to Sanath when was in his peak)  is also increasingly being seen to benefit athletes and fitness trainers giving them an advantage in sustaining energy levels longer without drugs or stimulants.
To date, there are over 1,500 studies proving coconut oil to be one of the healthiest foods on the planet. Coconut oil benefits and uses go beyond what most people realize.
Research has finally uncovered the secrets to this amazing fruit; namely healthy fats called Medium Chain Fatty Acids (MCFAs), these unique fats include:
Caprylic acid
Lauric acid
Capric acid
And around 62% of the oils in coconut are made up of these 3 healthy fatty acids and 91% of the fat in coconut oil is healthy saturated fat.

Most of the fats that we consume take longer to digest, but MCFAs found in coconut oil provide the perfect source of energy because they only have to go through a 3 step process to be turned into fuel vs. other fats go through a 26 step process!
Unlike long-chain fatty acids (LCFAs) found in plant based oils, MCFAs are easier to digest
 
Proven Alzheimer’s Disease Natural Treatment
The digestion of MCFA’s by the liver creates ketones which are a readily accessible energy by the brain. Ketones supply energy to the brain without the need of insulin to process glucose into energy. Recent research has shown that the brain actually creates it’s own insulin to process glucose and power brain cells. As the brain of an Alzheimer’s patient has lost the ability to create it’s own insulin, the ketones from coconut oil could create an alternate source of energy to help repair brain function.

What Good Are Mosquitoes?

What Good Are Mosquitoes?
I want to add one more fact here.
They clean up our cesspits with unwanted bacteria.
Otherwise we will fill the pit in no time.
I believe there saliva (larvae) can digest bacteria (probably a good biological antibiotic).
I am one who believe this Dengue phobia is a manifestation of impotent local governments (better term is Local elected Mafiosi) who wants the poor voter to own the responsibility.
I always believe and will continue to believe they can never be wiped out but controlled to manageable level.
 
Below is a reproduction.
 

Their biological role may be many including evolution (transfer of transposons) of species.

Mosquito larvae are nutrient-rich snacks for hungry fish and other aquatic wildlife.

There isn't much love lost between people and mosquitoes. At the very least, these bloodthirsty insects are major annoyances, biting us with a persistence that can be maddening. If insects can be credited with evil intent, mosquitoes seem determined to wipe the human race out. As carriers of deadly diseases, mosquitoes are the deadliest insect on Earth. Each year, millions of people die from malaria, dengue fever, and yellow fever after being bitten by a disease-carrying mosquito. Mosquitoes also carry diseases that pose serious threats to livestock and pets.

With all these strikes against them, it's hard to imagine that mosquitoes fulfill any useful purpose. We forget that mosquitoes populated this planet long before man; the oldest mosquito fossils date back some 200 million years, to the Cretaceous period. Clearly, mosquitoes fill an important ecological niche. So what good are mosquitoes?
 

Mosquitoes Are Food for Wildlife

Mosquito larvae are aquatic insects, and as such, play an important role in the aquatic food chain.

continue reading below our video

How Does Color Affect How You Feel?

According to Dr. Gilbert Waldbauer in The Handy Bug Answer Book, "mosquito larvae are filter feeders that strain tiny organic particles such as unicellular algae from the water and convert them to the tissues of their own bodies, which are, in turn, eaten by fish." Mosquito larvae are, in essence, nutrient-packed snacks for fish and other aquatic animals.

Their role on the bottom of the food chain doesn't end at the larval stage, of course. 

As adults, mosquitoes serve as equally nutritious meals for birds, bats, and spiders.

As much as we loathe them, mosquitoes represent a considerable biomass of food for wildlife on the lower rungs of the food chain. 

Their extinction, were it even achievable, would have an enormous adverse affect on the entire ecosystem.

Laser and Holography and their Uses

Laser and Holography and their Uses
Why write about holography in a book of conspiracy?
Simple.
It can be used to create events apparent which are not real life events.
Whats the caveat?
It can be used by secret service to invent an event such as 9/11 scenario. I won’t write anything more but top brace in the Bush Administration was privy to this holographic creation.
What if aliens who fear the man of attack would do?
They are with superior technique would create alien presence using a probe that is manipulated from a mother ship out of human vision.
There is no danger to their life.
If we assume Roswell incident did happen and aliens were captured and used as hostages, that is the most likely scenario that would have evolved.
Let us imagine they could mount an operation to stage something like Phoenix Lights.
Necessary ground work to make humans start believing in alien or extraterrestrial beings (EB) is made in holographic form and choreographed. That is the level they would go for their own safety and read message of “no ill will” to humans.
Equally if Vatican or a peudo-scientist gets hold of this technology they will certainly mount an operation for “the god has come back from heaven”, live.
That is a likely scenario!
In a few years time we will have holographic studios and “Television” at home.
The technology is developing fast.
Below is an introduction to how holography works.
Holography dates from 1947, when British (native of Hungary) scientist Dennis Gabor developed the theory of holography while working to improve the resolution of an electron microscope.
Gabor coined the term hologram from the Greek words holos, meaning "whole," and gramma, meaning "message". Further development in the field was stymied during the next decade because light sources available at the time were not truly "coherent" (monochromatic or one-color, from a single point, and of a single wavelength).
This barrier was overcome in 1960 by Russian scientists N. Bassov and A. Prokhorov and American scientist Charles Towns with the invention of the laser, whose pure, intense light was ideal for making holograms.
In that year the pulsed-ruby laser was developed by Dr. T.H. Maimam. This laser system Leith(unlike the continuous wave laser normally used in holography) emits a very powerful burst of light that lasts only a few nanoseconds (a billionth of a second).
It effectively freezes movement and makes it possible to produce holograms of high-speed events, such as a bullet in flight, and of living subjects.
The first hologram of a person was made in 1967, paving the way for a specialized application of holography: pulsed holographic portraiture.
In 1962 Emmett Leith and Juris Upatnieks of the University of Michigan recognized from their work in side-reading radar that holography could be used as a 3-D visual medium. In 1962 they read Gabor's paper and "simply out of curiosity" decided to duplicate Gabor's technique using the laser and an "off-axis" technique borrowed from their work in the development of side-reading radar. The result was the first laser transmission Upatniekshologram of 3-D objects (a toy train and bird). These transmission holograms produced images with clarity and realistic depth but required laser light to view the holographic image.
Their pioneering work led to standardization of the equipment used to make holograms. Today, thousands of laboratories and studios possess the necessary equipment: a continuous wave laser, optical devices (lens, mirrors and beam splitters) for directing laser light, a film holder and an isolation table on which exposures are made. Stability is absolutely essential because movement as small as a quarter wave- length of light during exposures of a few minutes or even seconds can completely spoil a hologram. The basic off-axis technique that Leith and Upatnieks developed is still the staple of holographic methodology.
DenisyukAlso in 1962 Dr. Yuri N. Denisyuk from Russia combined holography with 1908 Nobel Laureate Gabriel Lippmann's work in natural color photography. Denisyuk's approach produced a white-light reflection hologram which, for the first time, could be viewed in light from an ordinary incandescent light bulb.
Another major advance in display holography occurred in 1968 when Dr. Stephen A. Benton invented white-light transmission holography while researching holographic television at Polaroid Research Laboratories. This type of hologram can be viewed in ordinary white light creating a "rainbow" image from the seven colors which make up white light. The depth and brilliance of the image and its rainbow spectrum soon attracted artists who adapted this technique to their work and brought holography further into public awareness.
Benton's invention is particularly significant because it made possible mass production of holograms using an embossing technique. These holograms are "printed" by stamping the interference pattern onto plastic. The resulting hologram can be duplicated millions of times Bentonfor a few cents apiece. 

Consequently, embossed holograms are now being used by the publishing, advertising, and banking industries.

Conspiracies in Science, Religion and Politics

Conspiracies in Science, Religion and Politics
This is an introduction to my book that would be out on Amazon books.
It is probably going to be my last.
Internet of things is taking us to uncharted territory. I adore its freedom, anybody with proper portal could voice his or her opinion without hindrance.
There is no peer review or scrutiny.
It is a democratic institution if properly used but it can be a place for raging fire.
In Linux old terminology it was called “flame wars”.
The Idea was to bring forward counter arguments to forefront in developing the kernel, the core of the system.
There is community involvement and its spirit, not seen in the corporate world had contributed enormously to free software development.
There is secrecy, misinformation and conspiracy are commoner garden occurrence in corporate world.
Due to this reason I have used Linux philosophy and its development to illustrate the counter ploy to grand conspiracy.
I hope you bear with me for its inclusion.
I could not find a solution to conspiracy even in the major religions.
However, Linux with its copy-left and sharing (with the wider world) philosophy has become a household name.
I will always use this philosophy when misinformation and conspiracy rises its head above water.
The conspiracy should be sunk at all costs.
Like a lotus that flower above muddy bottoms, we should do all what we could to bring the truth to the surface.

I have to make a confession.
I have not “fact checked” most of the claims made by certain authors.
In conspiracy and speculations, “fact checking” is humanly impossible.
Errors are built into the system by repetition and the difference between “fact and fiction” becomes almost imperceptible.
In this context, some of the films made on verifiable facts, inadvertently become fiction due to inflation or exaggeration.
It works both ways, a fact becomes a fiction and a fiction becomes a fact.
In this scenario conspiracy thrives.
I am one who is averse to lies or deception.
I want scientists to be “bona fide” true gentleman / lady and when I find the so called scientists, deliberately lie for some personal or corporate gains, it is obnoxious.
Unfortunately, I have seen doctors working in alliance with representative from pharmaceutical companies, use lies, deception, partial disclosure of side effects and exaggerating flimsy benefits.
Having made unwitting entry into fields foreign to my own, as a preparation for this book, now I am convinced conspiracy in theory is universal, an Achilles tendon to scientific verification.
Wikipedia had been a major source and I am thankful to
all who contributed to Wikipedia.
But any errors of commission or omission are all mine.
I have placed many personalities in this book not knowing
their direct or indirect contribution to either science or conspiracy.
I had no personal choices, in the selections I have made, in this exercise and I may have inadvertently, left out many important personalities.
I present this book to those personalities left out unwittingly, but nevertheless, suffered ridicule and reprimand for their genuine interest and dedication in seeking the truth.
I hope this book will inspire for those who seek transparency in science, governance and politics.
The idea of this book was in my mind for sometime but deliberately delayed it, so that I could devote much time and effort on the final outcome. The idea was to have an overview of the human thinking over the last 3000 years based on written or oral material of the East and West.
How science shaped and developed my way of thinking is altogether a different kettle of fish.
I must say, I had the luxury of free thinking from my childhood and nobody tried to modify it.
In other words, I did not have a mentor.
Except for the sports master, in my simple village school who instilled in my mind, the golden rule in sports “It is participation, not winning that matters” under the Olympics banner and the late Professor Senaka Bibile in my undergraduate days, there were only a few personalities that I admired.
Only other exception to that rule was Sir john Kotalawala whom I used to see as a tiny tot. He was famous for his uttering   “It is better, go fox  hunting in England than do politics in Ceylon". Shooting foxes was a sport in UK then, I joined the cavalcade, vigorously opposing it, as a sport, in early eighties, on the lines of animals rights, while working there.
We won our campaign and it was abolished on the grounds of preventing cruelty to animals. Unfortunately in this country we still cause untold cruelty to our “Gentle Giant”, a political symbol of major party in the name of traditional Buddhist practice of parading them in procession.
Some cruel monks of our tradition are the exponent of this “cruelty sport” while illegally hunting the baby elephants in the wild joining hand with Ganja (hashish) growers.
Having said that, I did not understand the deeper meaning of Buddhism (till later years in my life), but its principle practices have had an influence in my thinking. It teaches us of simplicity and despise grandiosity and Avihinsa (non violence) the guiding principle which are antithesis to our grandiose high priests.
For a starter, I did not believe in creation of the world by a single god. That meant I did not believe in existence of any form of god dead or live. Advent of the Russian exploration of space when I was a tiny tot, not only made deeper meaning and admiration of its people without a religion.
For my luck, I was born with scientific outlook and learning science was a pleasure (language and religion were not) and a pastime.
To add to that there were plenty of reading materials, including local papers and scientific journals at the British Council Library. English language or literature (I hated Shakespeare but made a point to visit his birth place when I was  working in UK) was not my forte but that did not deter me from grasping scientific terminology.
In other words, the outside world contributed a lot to my formative years. The fact, that I was born to a independent free nation was a feather on my cap.
There was no indoctrination and freedom to think and act were bonuses.
How, I went up the ladder was a shear chance occurrence with no prior programming.
The rationalist Abram Kovoor was making his presence felt and I had the audacity to pose probing question to him (but no need to record those flimsy occurrences, here). I never followed his line of thinking but admired him all the same.
Abraham Thomas Kovoor (April 10, 1898 – September 18, 1978) was an Indian professor and rationalist who gained prominence after retirement for his campaign to expose as frauds various Indian and Sri Lankan "god-men" and so-called paranormal phenomena. His criticism of spiritual frauds and organized religions was enthusiastically received by many enthusiasts, initiating a new dynamism in the Rationalist Movement, especially in Sri Lanka.
Professor Carlo Fonseka was active somewhat later in  time to Kovoor but he did not make an impact on me.
But I loved his orations and style.
It was a revelation at that time.
A cursory look at the content of this book may look like there is lot of repetition, which I wish I could have avoided, but could not, for the simple reason, the grand conspiracy design was integrated with religion, science and politics.

Beautiful Comment on UFO sighting

Why only in America?
Just like Nick Pope, this is yet another typical ex-tech carving himself a nice, cosy living as a ufologist, because believers are impressed by his credentials, which in turn lends weight to his claims. He actually presents zero credible evidence that there's ANY extra-terrestrial activity on earth, or ever has been. These people deal entirely in conjecture, rhetorical questions, speculation and possibility.
If there was ANY truth to what he was saying, don't you think one of the agents from the "30 or 40 levels of secrecy above the president" would have visited him in the night to stand on his neck?
We live in an age of mass video and photographic coverage, 100 times more than ever before. It's estimated that around 75% of all the photos EVER TAKEN were taken in the last 12 months. CCTV, HD cameras on mobile phones, dashboard cameras, traffic cameras, security cameras, etc....and yet STILL, after decades of having such an enormous mass of cameras everywhere, there still isn't a SINGLE credible, undeniable , irrefutable UFO photo or video that hasn't been proved to be fake.
Not ONE. Not one piece of video. Not one single photo. What does that tell you?

Mental Culture

Mental Culture 

Mind is the most powerful weapon (that is how Americans use Mind Culture) in this world.

It can be used for good and bad.
 
In practice it is used as a weapon and psychological warfare in politics and religion.
Secret services (CIA, MI5, FBI, KGB) are examples of the clandestine use of this psychological warfare in the past century.
 
Only in Buddhism or Hindu Culture, it is used for benevolence. 

Christianity (fear of god) and Muslim (coercion to inculcate fear and conversion) religions use this fear psychosis for expansion of their control.
 
One need not fear but develop the mental culture of Metta from an early age.
 
But what is promoted is Hate Culture.
 
The tolerance vanishes with this psychosis.
 
One should have the freedom not to be indoctrinated by any pseudo-religions.

Metta Meditation is something that everybody (it takes the fear psychosis out of your mind) can practice.
 

But, I prefer the Moment Meditation.
 
There is a caveat here.
One should not practice these mental techniques in old age without a suitable meditation master.
One might end up psychologically deranged or broken down. I have seen several in my life.
 
Ajan Chach (in the past) and Ajan Brakmavaso (current) are good exponents (guides).

Ajan Brakmavanso to his credit has many simple books in English. 

His talent is that he can put very difficult context in very simple words using a simile. There is nobody to match him currently.
Meditation culture needs hard and strenuous practice.

I have a few reservations (not enough elucidation of Dhamma) in some of his methods but he is free to make his own judgement.
 
One cannot master this in a weekend course.
 
If somebody is doing academic work “Vissusdhi Magga” is a colossal text. That is the only book I do not possess. 
One need only one or most two to three techniques depending on the personality.
 
For me “Dhamma-Pada”, the small volume with 400 odd verses is adequate as an introduction. 

Even from that I do use not more than 10 verses for insight.
The Pali word for "Insight" is “Vipassana”, which is being adopted by Buddhist practitioners of meditation.
I prefer the term “Mindfulness Meditation”.
I go, little further to “Moment Meditation”, which is Mindful presence every wakeful moment of living (except one is in dream state of sleeping).

There are different mental cultures from "Mediums" to "Channels" to "Insight Meditation".
 
Last is the most difficult.
 
There is a lot to pick but one needs a proper Meditation Master to guide one through.

All Americans are not Bad

All Americans are not Bad

This is about Americans.

Not all Americans are bad.

There are lot of good Americans.

What I am against are the American Scientists who conspire for the last 70 years.

It is time I should say good about Americans. 

I have met few of them and there are many like Dr. Steven M. Greer.

Unlike British Americans are fabulously rich and spend time and money to explore the unknown, including UFOs.

Whereas the British will hold onto their prejudices in their entire life.

Even though, yesteryear British scholars had revived and reviewed Buddhist scriptures (Francis Story and Rhys Davies) after the visit of Colonel Henry Steel Olcott to Ceylon, there is none in this country and UK now..

I believe he was sent here by the Church to discredit Dhamma (Buddhism) but he was enthralled and enlightened by studying the scriptures.

Rhys Davies

Thomas William Rhys Davids was born in England, at Colchester in Essex, the eldest son of a Congregational clergyman from Wales, who was affectionately referred to as the Bishop of Essex. 

His mother, who died at the age of 37 following childbirth, had run the Sunday school at his father's church.

Thomas William Rhys Davids, FBA (12 May 1843 – 27 December 1922) was a British scholar of the Pāli language and founder of the Pali Text Society. 

He took an active part in founding the British Academy and London School for Oriental Studies.

He studied for the bar and briefly practiced law, though he continued to publish articles about Sri Lankan inscriptions and translations, notably in Max Müller's (he was a French Scholar) monumental Sacred Books of the East.

From 1882 to 1904 Rhys Davids was Professor of Pali at the University of London, a post which carried no fixed salary other than lecture fees.

In 1905 he took up the Chair of Comparative Religion at the University of Manchester.
Rhys Davids attempted to promote Theravada Buddhism and Pāli scholarship in Britain. 

He actively lobbied the government (in co-operation with the Asiatic Society of Great Britain) to expand funding for the study of Indian languages and literature, using numerous arguments over how this might strengthen the British hold on India. He gave "Historical Lectures" and wrote papers advancing a racial theory of a common "Aryan" ethnicity amongst the peoples of Britain, Sri Lanka, and the Buddha's own clan in ancient times. These were comparable to the racial theories of Max Müller, but were used to a different purpose.
Rhys Davids claimed that Britons had a natural, "racial" affinity with Buddhist doctrine.
This part of Rhys Davids' career is controversial.
His scholarly enterprise was terminated by a bogus investigation by the British.


British Conspiracy
He never renunciate his faith but promoted study of Buddhism. That was his downfall.

Rhys Davids' civil service career and his residence in Sri Lanka came to an abrupt end.

Personal differences with his superior, C. W. Twynham, caused a formal investigation, resulting a tribunal and Rhys Davids' dismissal for misconduct. A number of minor offences had been discovered, as well as grievances concerning fines improperly exacted both from Rhys Davids' subjects and his employees.

With his death study of Buddhism ended in Great Britain.

Unlike, the British, the American continue to study Buddhism up to this date.

Unlike in Britain, America there is considerable number of Americans who practice Buddhist Way of Life without enunciating their own faith (for political reasons).

Buddhism is thriving in America!

They have contributed a lot silently.

I have met few of them and they come here for meditation practices.

I was busy then but I directed them to the proper academics and mediation masters, with my connection in the University.

Unfortunately most of the erudite with knowledge in English are all gone and rare to find now.

Probability USA UFO/ Aliens Scenario

Probability USA UFO/ Aliens Scenario
 
Because there so many overt and covert player/actors in the UFO and ET scenario, it is very difficult to unravel the relative truth or scientific basis.
 
Let me summarize few cardinal points.
They should not be taken on face value alone.
There is a lot red herrings and misconceptions.
 
1. Number one which is obvious.
There are parallel governments in USA.
 
It could be minimum of three.
 
Those elected by popular vote by regular (rigid framework and term of office) elections. 
This I call the changing or the flexible arm of the government. 
They actually do not have a clout in decision making.
 
The second is group made up of intellectuals coming from science, politics, defense affairs, foreign policy, trade and economy. They are either elected by their higher positioning in the respective fields or the power and influence they possess in business or politics. The number may amounts to six to twelve. They form the concrete policy group less amenable to change and provide continuity of governance irrespective of who  heads the political mantle.
 
Both these groups on surface are democratic / republican institutes amenable to scrutiny albeit little. 
There is some structural rigidity alien to them however. 
Radical changes will never come about given this structural rigidity.
 
The third group and the most powerful is invincible and secretive and it has absolute power and wherewithal. The individuals in this group are not subjected to scrutiny since the above two institutions have abdicated their power to rein on this secretive society. The numbers in this group can be as little as five to innumerable. 
I believe this group has moles placed in the other two for eavesdropping and insinuating their will.
 
2. This leads to rigidity of the governance. Even the President has no power to intervene and if he/she trespasses, this group will stop, if necessary by assassination.

3. The other possibility is the secretive group to train individual as career serviceman / women is real. Nobody from the outside (independents) could get into the political system without heavy scrutiny.
 
4. Level of secrecy or classified information is the norm by default.
 
5. Evolution of disclosure is slow.
 
6. Freedom of information is almost non existent.
 
All these symptoms and signs of the lack of transparency in governance came into existence because of the people’s interest in UFOs and ET/Aliens.
 
It does not matter whether there are aliens or not.
 
The American public had woken up from a 70 years slumber.
 
My entry in here to US politics was accidental not coincidental. 
I always wished to have been to USA for work. 
With above discovery, I do not think I have missed much.
