Types of Beer in Ceylon

 Lion Brewery

The largest of Sri Lanka's brewers is the Lion Brewery, which is also the oldest brewery in the country. It produces over 80% of Sri Lanka's beers. In 1988 it constructed a new brewery at Biyagama to replace the century-old facility at Nuwara Eliya. In 1993 the brewery became a subsidiary of Carson Cumberbatch & Co Ltd, and in 1996 the Carlsberg Group acquired a 25% share of the company. The brewery's portfolio includes lagers, strong beers and stouts, notably Lion, Lion Strong and Lion Stout. The company also brews Carlsberg and Guinness under license. The brewery exports its beers to the U.S., Europe, Japan, Australia and the Maldives.

The Kinsey Scale

The Kinsey Scale 

The Kinsey Scale and Report
 

Rating Scale of 7 with one X category (docile)
Description
 
0 Exclusively heterosexual
 
1 Predominantly heterosexual, only incidentally homosexual
 
2 Predominantly heterosexual, but more than incidentally homosexual
 
3 Equally heterosexual and homosexual
 
4 Predominantly homosexual, but more than incidentally heterosexual
 
5 Predominantly homosexual, only incidentally heterosexual
 
6 Exclusively homosexual
 
X No socio-sexual contacts or reactions
 

Kinsey and his colleagues (fearing backlash from undesirables, including priests and politicians not scientists) were very clever not to identify categories but put the sexual orientation in a continuum.
This clearly is not scientific in a clinical setting.
This has caused problems for an average clinician.
Often indirect questions or indirect tests are done to avoid embarrassment to both parties.
In an open an promiscuous society, as of today, this has to change at least for scientific reasons.
An adult mature clinician should be able ask a direct question and keep it in his/her (no need for recording it for posterity but he/she should be able give a percentage in a particular set up, say priests / politicians, for proper assessment of a clinical problem, say AIDS) head, as long as a particular patient is under him or her.
It is no point only the cardinal (party leader) or the head priest (school principle) is aware of the situation.
Often these guys and girls are in education or in political hierarchy and these facts are hidden from the average young parents with kids.
As a clinician, if I am asked a question by a mother or father I should be able to tell 10 percent (it is much, much more in reality) of adult priests or teachers are that way oriented (for clarity) and leave the parent to take adequate precaution and or attention.
Because I am not in patient care currently (voluntary decision) I will bare few Ceylonese facts.
We had a higher education minister with venereal disease.
I have avoided the time period and you are free to guess.
There were over 16 (most likely more) principals or his or her close assistant in a particular dense region (I worked in the border region) who were preying kids.
I have had examined the victims but all the parents were against reporting the incidences.
Ten Kilometers from where I worked there was a place run by a Swedish Guy who was an ace pedophile.
We alerted the police, thinking his passport would be impounded but he went scot free, thanks to a prominent female politician.
Yesterday, by bizarre coincidence, I witnessed an accident.
My gut feeling was that this particular kid, under ten was a victim.
I avoided eye contact and vanished in a flash. 

Multi Liners

Multi Liners

Bond in Hell

A bond fell on hell.

The care taker was quick to dispose it.

The Apaya Director stopped him abruptly.

Why was the question?

Wait till it mature.

The corollary is, bonds (another term for demerits) in hell mature but merits in heaven materialize in no time.


Demon NOT Dead

Damian Deck a tennis player had a tiff with his wife.

He went for a game to douse his anger (the beer comes after the game, unlike our cricketers who douse before and after the game).

The wife followed him to the court to file her final victory address.

She accidentally entered the cemetery which was nest door and found the care taker flat on a grave decor, drunk.

She had a fit and ended up in hospital.
 

Ceylonese decorator who was drunk accidentally repainted the Damian Deck's decor as Demon NOT Dead.


Soul Talk

A soul to another soul on new arrival.

Shall we upgrade him or downgrade him?

Wait.

Why?

He is a politician.

His loots are not yet demonized (digitally converted) on earth (for posterity) due to a legal wrangle.

Bugger, the Bankers who Buggered US and the 5Ds.

Bugger, the Bankers who Buggered US

5Ds.

 

The Christmas is around the corner it is time to cheer yourself.

Best song I recommend is in the YouTube and it is Bugger the Bankers.

Lyrics of Bugger the Bankers

 

When I was a lass I was proud of me class

Like my father and mother before me

They taught me to fight for my civil rights

But it’s always the same old story.

The rich reign supreme while the poor only dream

And they don’t give a damn, Tory, Lib’ral or Labour.

Chorus

Bugger the bankers and politicians

Bugger the bureaucrats too

Bugger the buggers who make up the rules

And if you’re one of them – bugger you!

The system is bad and the money’s all spent

We’re buggered from every direction

The workers are taxed, the wealthy relax

With nary a moment for reflection

Chorus

Now all you good people with passion to vent

Don’t give up your struggle for justice

I’ve done my time in the protesters’ line

And these days I show my dissent

By loitering within my tent, my tent.

Five Ds

Five Ds are related to our Commercial Banks.

It is no different, NOW in our state banks, too

Death

Disease

Divorce

Debt and

Depression

All the Ds are depressing enough.

1. Death is of course the best of all.

If somebody dies 50% are happy (owns his or her assets) and other 50% are unhappy that they did not have legal access his or her assets.

2. Disease is inevitable if one live long.

Only way to avoid is kick the bucket in one's prime health in old age.

Otherwise our doctors fatten their pockets by diagnosing the diseases you never have or had.

Their bill is the major cause of depression.

3. Divorce contributes to most of the other Ds.

If one does not understand the Ds mentioned here one should not marry or at least delay it as much as possible.

4. Debt is directly proportionate to the number of commercial banks in a country including Central Bank.

The difference of the Central Bank is that the P.M. and President take the debts and 

poor citizen has to pay till s/he dies.

Political term is 5 years and debt is eternal stretching up to a century.

5. Depression is inevitable if you own a credit card or that matter a bank account.

It is part and parcel of the banking process.

Only way you can get out of it is to tune to the song or by heart the lyrics every time you walk into a bank to pay the debts you own.

I suppose I must end my digital connection with this song, since the whole Internet is depressing to say the least.

I also get some comments (most of the young and old guys do not know have how to organize the social life and debts).  

Facebook is their only outlet which I never use.

Facebook itself is a depressing.

So do not join or cancel your registration.

I tell you they never allow you to quit.

That itself is depressing.

This advice is for married people.

Moment you marry you get into debt mode.

Only way to avoid is to delay it or marry late when one is not fertile.

Then you do not have kids around that make you to conceal your depression and blame them for your own faults.

1. Not to have a credit card or destroy them the earliest possible.

2. Have only a saving account ideally two.

One for day to day expenses.

The other for real saving if you can afford.

This should be in a state bank nearest to your residence.

If I have to travel one hour one way another hour back home it is a pain.

3. Do not keep the money at home.

4. Your pocket should be always empty except for onward and backward travel ticket to the nearest till.

If somebody asks for loan show your empty pocket.

5. If the bank offers you a card try to forget its pin number earliest possible.

Then you go to the bank only when you really need some cash.

Any number above is prohibitive in Ceylon.

They can remember only three.

Try at least to remember 3 of the above five and death is redundant by default.

Above all enjoy the song bugger the bankers and your politicians who takes loans on your behalf.

Linux, Androids and Windows

Microsoft is C.I.A. Strategy

Androids, Linux and Microsoft's C.I.A. Strategy

Androids rules.

Linux spreads is tentacles into every technologically competent company.

U.E.F.I sucks simply because Microsoft thinks that every Linux distribution gets its certification from Microsoft.

That is what I call the C.I.A. strategy.

Come to think about it, I believe Microsoft is the creation of C.I.A. to dominate and data mine every possible independent human being on this planet.

Only Aliens who if they visit us will use that strategy for fear of existence or infiltration.

I would like rename Microsoft as an Alien Being.

Now they have probably bribed the Munich's Boss to do the C.I.A work in Germany where the Linux phenomenon began 25 years ago.
Linus Torvalds is the maestro of all, so do not get scared of C.I.A.
It is totally impotent under Trump.
Now the Microsoft strategy is to work with Linux.
This is where true Linux guys should not fall prey.
 

Microsoft has money.
It will use that money for clandestine work often in collaboration with sucker politicians (Munich is one of them).

Now Microsoft wants it profits to mount and do little to (It cannot) improve the life of software developers.
It wants Linux guys to develop its base FREE.
Do not fall prey.
Charge Microsoft for your software three times you ask from a competent technological company.

Then the political suckers will vanish.

Microsoft is not only a C.I.A entity its a political entity only serving its money bag.

Beware!

New Year Pick Pocket by NPP/JVP

According to Alle Gunanada Himi, the present Government is trying to Pick Pocket the New Year traditions.

They have failed to publish the Auspicious Times for various Religious and Cultural activities.

There is "Punya Kalaya" or Merit Time to visit the Temple

Make sure you visit the Temple.

Here, it is parents responsibility teach the Time Old Traditions to the Next Generation.

Children reciprocate it by taking leave an coming home and the whole family in one place.

It is similar to the Family Supper in the West but more elaborate with rituals. 

This is the only time Buddhist monks get involved in lay affairs by calculating the Auspicious Times which may vary a bit from region to region due to calculational errors.

But it can be mitigated by having a long pole erected perpendicular to the surface of the earth noting the time when no shadow falls on the ground.

This is real physics in action which determines the excact time in each point of Earth in relation to the standard Greenwich Time.

With raging war it is time to talk about World Peace.

Top Successful Linux Distributions

1. Debian and its GNOME edtion tops the list.

Debian is the only Global Project.

It is wrong to believe that Ubuntu as a Global project. It is based on Debian and had an initial impact. It is based on Isle of Whigt and Isle of Man. These two islands are well known for shoddy finacial transactions. I am not sure what they are up to. I do not use or recommend UBUNTU.

2. CachyOS comes second.

It comed from Germany.

3. Linx Mint stands tall.

It comes from Ireland.

4. Neon User Edition with KDE

It is based on Germany and trying hard to be global which is not.

5. GNOPPIX coming from Singapore 

Due to its innovative approach, I have no objection for its commercial approach

6. REBORN OS for ease of use.

It comes from USA.

7. BlueStar Linux

11. Batocera Gamer

It comes from France.

12. GLF Gamer - Linux France

It is based on Nix OS package Management System which is devoid of libraries. Each oackge stays independently in  /store. Bit similar to Endless OS.

13. Chimera Linux

Not really Linux based.

It is Linux paired with BSD Userland.

It comes from Spain.

14. ChimeraOS

ChimeraOS is Linux based.

ARCH based distribution.

It is a console for playing games and platform independent.
