Sri Lanka’s Acting Leader Declares State of Emergency as Protests Swell – The New York Times (Me: sad turn of events for Sri Lanka to have someone who was going to resign and now call protesters of incompetent rule “fascists…” They – the old leadership – have bankrupted the nation.)

Protesters did not back down after Mr. Wickremesinghe, the prime minister — who had said over the weekend that he would step down — assumed the presidency. The crowd outside his office swelled. They broke through and took over the building; another group took over the state broadcaster. In his first address as acting president, Mr. Wickremesinghe declared a curfew and referred to some protesters as a “fascist threat.”

Today is Guru Purnima!

Raffaello Palandri's Blog

Today we celebrate Guru Purnima.

Guru Purnima is a traditional celebration dedicated to all the gurus (both spiritual and academic) that have guided us or taught us something in our lives.

It is celebrated every year on the full moon day of Ashadhaआसाढ़ month, and this year the celebration will happen on July 13th.

Ashadha is a month of the Hindu calendar, and it corresponds to June/July in the Gregorian calendar. It is the first of the two months of the monsoon season.

The celebration of Guru Purnima is marked by several spiritual activities which may also include ritualistic events in honor of the Guru (the so-called Guru Puja).

The word Guru -गुरु comes from Sanskrit (the earliest pieces of evidence of the term are found in the earliest Vedic texts).

Gurus are mentors, guides, experts, and masters…

Do We Know Ourselves

normabobb

We are always psychoanalyzing others, yet we don’t know who we are. When was the last time we asked of ourselves: Who am I? What makes me tick? How do I become more transparent in my life? Do I love and respect myself? Do I have values and principles? Can I be bought? If we are to live our truth we have to have a time of reckoning.

Pensamentos.me/VEM comigo!

Ao tecer tua alma com fio de aço, tenha certeza de que tu mesmo, não irás desenrolar a trama da sua biografia com qualquer distração. Pois, se assim fizeres, a solidão será a sua melhor companhia. Cruel, ela te colocará diante de suas mazelas para mostrar-te que, a consciência é um paraíso.

This car charges itself with solar panels

Made for US southwest!!!

Darcy Hitchcock

Lightyear is an EV that can charge its battery with the solar panels on its roof. It can add 44 miles a day, bringing its range to 388 miles. For daily driving, the panels might be enough to keep the car charged for months!

The Lightyear 0 will have curved solar panels in its roof, hood and trunk that top up the electric battery as it drives (or remains parked) and the first delivery in Europe could be as early as November.

In a hot county such as Spain or Portugal, if your daily commute is less than 22 miles, you won’t need to plug in the car for up to seven months

This self-charging capacity could come in handy in situations where people don’t have easy access to charging stations, like apartment dwellers or families on a camping trip. For typical in town and commuting routes, you might not…

Basil Pesto Pasta

snapshotsincursive

What’s Cooking in Gail’s Kitchen? Enjoyable Eats: Basil Pesto Pasta! I’m tired. And I’m hungry. What in the world can I cook for dinner that doesn’t take forever? But I want the taste to make me feel like I’m someone special. First of all, go over to the wine rack and open a nice bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon. Pour a little into a stemmed glass. Swirl and take a sip. This will put you in the mood. The wonderfully sweet herbal notes of the fresh basil will complement the flavor of the wine. Plus, the olive oil and parmesan cheese in the pesto sauce enhance the richness of fruit in the Cab. Take another sip. Now let’s get started. (Footnote: Obviously if you already have a jar of your favorite Basil Pesto in the kitchen pantry, you’re one step ahead.)

BASIL PESTO PASTA

Ingredients:

10.5 ounce package of cherry tomatoes

♫ Eye In The Sky ♫ (Redux)

Filosofa's Word

For no known reason, I have this song in my head and it is … digging into my heart, bringing tears.  Perhaps it’s the lateness of the hour combined with stress, depression, and lack of sleep, but this song popped in uninvited and isn’t leaving until I share it!


Oddly, despite the fact that The Alan Parsons Project was an English rock band, this song did not chart in the UK.  Released in 1982, the song hit the #3 position in the U.S., #1 in both Canada and Spain, and #6 in New Zealand, but did not fare so well in the band’s own country.  Alan Parsons didn’t think much of the song and had to be talked into including it on their upcoming album. He reportedly also made a bet with his guitarist that Eye in the Sky would never be a hit.

In one interview, Parsons said the…
