...generally mean, waking up late, playing with friends and relatives, going places, eating lots of food and watching a lot of cartoons on TV. That was the way it was for me… but in addition to that we went a on a trip too. My father had his vacation that same month and our whole family was over-joyed. We decided to spend the month in Kandy at one of our relatives’ house. It was the most AWESOME Vacation we ever had. Their house was soooo beautiful and their garden, like a paradise. The house was small, but that was another reason why it was fun, because I had to share rooms with the son at that house who was the same age as me. We were so mischievous and were up to all kinds of fun. At nights after our parents had told us to go to sleep, we would secretly play video games or fighting games, or pillow fights, or act like we are camping until the late hours. His name was Mustafa. Anyways together Mustafa and I went on bike rides and helped his mother in the garden. He loved gardening and he taught me how to plant a seed and how to ensure it has the right conditions for growth. I used to think gardening was just a tiresome task, but when I did it at Kandy I discovered it was some type of meditation. There is something beautiful about working in the fresh air in the silence. Mustafa gave me a rose cutting and taught me how to plant it. It was...

The Esala Perahera which is thought to date back to the 3rd century BC, was a ritual enacted to request the gods for rainfall. The Dalada Perahera is believed to have begun when the Sacred Tooth Relic of the Buddha was brought to Sri Lanka from India during the 4th century B.C.The Tooth Relic was brought to Sri Lanka by Princess Hemamala & Prince Dantha. Modern Perahera The Modern Perahera dates back to the reign of the Kandyan King Kirthi Sri Rajasinghe (1747–1781). During these times, the Tooth Relic was considered private property of the King and the public never got a chance to worship it. However, King Rajasinghe decreed that the Relic be taken in procession for the masses to see and respect. After the Kandyan Kingdom fell to the British in 1815, the custody of the Relic was handed over to the Maha Sanga (the...

...01.What is Normalization? Process of organizing data or information in a database is called as Normalization. creating tables and establishing relationships between those tables according to rules are included to the process of normalization. It is designed to protect the data and to make the database more flexible. Flexible can be done by eliminating redundancy and inconsistent dependency. Redundant data and information mainly dissipate hard disk space in the machine and makes maintenance problems for the system.

Each rule is called as "normal form." Rules are starting from 1st normal form. It goes like 1st normal form, 2nd normal form, 3rd normal from, 4th normal form and so on. If...

...What is the Buddhist analysis of human life? Introduction It is well known that according to Buddhism, human-being is a combination of ever‐changing physical and mental forces or energies. To have a deep analysis of the human life, Buddhism divides the human beings into five groups as “five aggregates”. This technical term contains the Aggregate of Matter, the Aggregate of Sensations, the Aggregate of Apperceptions, the Aggregate of Mental Formations, and finally is the Aggregate of Consciousness. The five aggregates are essential for Buddhism to analyze human life, which also show that Buddhist analysis of human life focuses more on mind than the physical things. In addition, the examination of the five aggregates is important in Buddha’s teaching for at least four reasons as mentioned below. Firstly, as we all know, all four noble truths focus on suffering and the five aggregates are the ultimate referent of the first noble truth. Therefore, it is important to understand the five aggregates in advance, in order to further analyze the Four Noble Truth. Also, they are the objective domain of clinging and can help analyze the causal origination of suffering in the future. Thirdly, in order to release from suffering, the removal of clinging is an essential step, which is tightly related to the objects around (King 1989, 158). And its tentacles are named as five aggregates. Finally, in order to obtain the wisdom that can have a clear and accurate insight into the real nature...

...Theories of Crime Causation Unit 1 IP July 26, 2015 Kandy L Powers A criminalist is a person with a background in science, typically having at least a baccalaureate degree in an area such as chemistry, biology, forensic science, or criminalistics. They study the science behind a crime, and find evidence that can link a person to the crime committed. Criminalists are employed at sheriffs' departments, crime laboratories, government agencies, medical examiners' offices, colleges and universities, private companies, and law enforcement agencies. Criminology is an area of sociology that focuses on the study of crimes and their causes, effects, and social impact. It is the job of a criminologist to figure out why a criminal committed a crime, as well as, finding ways to prevent them from committing the crime again. Criminologists typically work at colleges and universities organizing and conducting research and teaching classes on corrections, juvenile justice, law enforcement administration, criminal ethnography, drug abuse and addiction, theoretical criminology, and other related courses. One analyzes the crime, while the other analyzes the criminal. The job of a criminalist doesn’t appeal to me. I am not the kind of person that can spend hours analyzing information. It seems like a cold, non-feeling type of job unless, of course, you are Abby from NCIS. Whether working for a private company investigating inside the company, or for the government, investigating...

Ladies College Colombo was founded as a self supporting institution in 1900 by Liiian Nixon from Ireland and Ms Elizabeth Whitney from Canada at the behest of the Church Missionary Society. The history of the school is woven round the seven principals of the college who were responsible for its founding, expansion and ethos. There is no doubt it was due to their Christian faith and commitment that Ladies College grew from a rented bungalow in Slave Island with two students to what it is today... Quoting Ladies' College 1900-2000 Several issues fascinated us. …… How a Christian Missionary school like Ladies’ College, established in 1900 within a colonial ethos, adapted itself to the social, cultural, and economic changes that were ushered in with independence in 1947? How did the school come to terms with the subsequent shifts in educational policy by successive governments especially during the second half of the last century? How did the school cope with such dramatic changes and do so while still remaining geared to the national system of education? How did Ladies’ College not only survive for a period of a hundred years, but grow from strength to strength? Lilian Nixon BA Cert.
