    Juliana Horatia Ewing (August 3, 1841 – May 13, 1885) was an English writer of children's stories. Her writings display a sympathetic insight into children's lives, an admiration for things military, and a strong religious faith.Known as Julie, she was the second of ten children of the Rev. Alfred Gatty, Vicar of Ecclesfield in Yorkshire, and Margaret Gatty, who was herself a children's author. Their children were educated mainly by their mother, but Julie was often the driving force behind their various activities: drama, botany and so on. Later she was responsible for setting up a village library in Ecclesfield, and helped out in the parish with her three sisters. Early stories of hers appeared in Charlotte Mary Yonge's magazine The Monthly Packet.On 1 June 1867, Julie married Major Alexander Ewing(1830–1895) of the Army Pay Corps. A musician, composer and translator, he was also a keen churchgoer and shared his wife's interest in literature. Within a week of their marriage, the Ewings left England for Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada, where he had received a new posting. They remained there for two years, before returning to England in 1869 and spending eight years in the army town of Aldershot. Although her husband was sent overseas again, to Malta in 1879 and Sri Lanka in 1881, Ewing's poor health precluded her from accompanying him.On her husband's return in 1883, the Ewings moved to Trull, Somerset, and then in 1885 to Bath, in the hopes that the change of air would do her good. However, her health continued to decline. After two operations, she died in Bath on 13 May 1885. She was given a military funeral at Trull three days later.Julie's sister Horatia Katharine Frances Gatty (1846–1945) published a memorial of her life and works, which includes a publication history of her stories. A later selection includes some of Julie's letters and drawings about Canada. A biography of her by Gillian Avery appeared in 1961.-bio via Wikipedia This is a public episode.

    I'm quite happy to touch on this little trouble inside the house: what is a good spot to grow certain plants? Julie and I have been struggling to get a few Orchids growing inside. One of them is Phalaenopsis —the Moth Orchid— and another one is Oncidium, especially the “Kandy Dancer” I fell in love with when working in Sri Lanka. Both are a real pain to get going: tried a north-facing window, an eastern aspect, west, and nothing worked to get these plants growing, let alone flowering!! The Irony is that our daughter just chucked them in a south facing bay windowsill and simply couldn't stop them flowering! They get a few seconds of morning sun, are covered in steam (it's a kitchen bay window), and often get warm ovens heating the site. Guess what! We tried it too: south bay window in kitchen, etc, etc. Fertilised them with Orchid Food, spoke to them, read stories at night, etc, ect... NOTHING! Yes, we read the books and reduced the moisture regime, got solid fertiliser, liquid fertiliser, extra Potash, no potash, more Nitrogen, less Nitrogen, saw their root zones and decided that Phosphate might be the answer... NADA! Our south side bay window is filled with thriving plants, everything grows brilliantly here, except the bloody Orchids! We finally did get a little bit of hope from an Oncidium cutting (no comment on the origin of that cutting, by the way). Our next attempt: west window, afternoon sun every day, etc, etc. It's tiny, but it's alive! The point is that sometimes these things happen when you try to grow certain specimens, they don't always follow the suggestions in the book. The fertiliser regime is quite often hyped-up and the commonest method of killing your plants is by simply over-watering the plants and their roots. So… try some neglect. Water them when you realise you've forgotten to do so for months! And when your daughter asks, “what is fertiliser?” try not to get shitty, just learn from that and embrace another tactic.

    Silvana R. (39) ist Flugbegleiterin. Als ihr der 22-jährige Peter Helm an Bord charmant ein Date auf Sri Lanka vorschlägt, zögert sie nicht lange. Zehn Tage voller Sonne, Strand und Schmetterlinge – bis Peter um ihre Hand anhält. Doch Silvana spürt: Das ist mehr Ferienromanze als Lebensplan. Zurück in Europa will sie eigentlich Schluss machen. Doch dann lernt sie Peters Vater Raoul kennen und alles ändert sich. Eine Villa an der Côte d'Azur. Ein Blick über die Schulter im Bikini. Ein Blick von ihm, der alles verändert. Raoul, der kultivierte, reiche Vater: kühl, kontrolliert, gefährlich anziehend. Neben ihm wirkt Peter plötzlich wie ein Junge.Was folgt, ist ein emotionaler Tanz: zwischen Pflichtgefühl und Begierde, zwischen Zurückhaltung und Sehnsucht. Silvana schläft noch mit Peter, denkt aber an Raoul. Die Beziehung zerbricht leise, ohne Szene, ohne Drama. Doch das eigentliche Drama beginnt erst.Auf einer Party, Wochen später, steht er plötzlich wieder vor ihr. Raoul. Er führt sie zum Tanz. Dann sagt er den einen Satz, der alles zerstört: „Ich werde bald heiraten.“Silvana steht unter Schock. Warum küsst er sie dann? Warum zieht er sie in den Garten? Warum sagt er: „Leb wohl.“ und verschwindet dann wie ein Schatten? Monate später kommt eine Hochzeitseinladung. Auf dem Kuvert: Familie Helm. Silvana zerreißt sie in tausend Stücke.

    Hi there! Welcome to Episode 305 of Never on the Backfoot Podcast. 17 years. 118 Tests. 8,214 runs. 16 centuries. 45 half-centuries. 33 wickets. The numbers speak volumes, but they only tell part of the story. In this special episode, we pay tribute to one of Sri Lanka's finest cricketers — Angelo Mathews — as he calls time on an illustrious Test career.The 37-year-old bows out as the third-highest run-scorer in Sri Lanka's Test history, trailing only legends Kumar Sangakkara and Mahela Jayawardene. A cornerstone of the team for over a decade, Mathews combined class, grit, and composure to become a mainstay in the side — whether with the bat, the ball, or his quiet leadership.Joining us is cricket analyst and commentator Ricky Simms as we reflect on Mathews' journey in whites: from his early promise to his most iconic innings, from leading Sri Lanka through transition to battling injuries and criticism with unshakable resilience.We revisit match-saving knocks, understated all-round performances, and the calm determination that defined him. Where does Mathews rank among the greats? What legacy does he leave behind? And how will Sri Lankan fans — and cricket lovers around the world — remember him?Tune in for a heartfelt conversation celebrating a true servant of Sri Lankan cricket.Thank you so much for tuning in to today's episode and for your incredible support.

    Le café "mocha" – ou "moka" en français – n'est pas seulement une boisson aromatisée au chocolat. C'est avant tout un nom chargé d'histoire, qui puise ses origines dans le commerce maritime et les débuts de la mondialisation du café. Ce nom fait directement référence à la ville portuaire de Mokha, située sur les côtes du Yémen, au bord de la mer Rouge.Entre le XVIe et le XVIIIe siècle, Mokha fut le principal port d'exportation du café au monde. C'est depuis ce comptoir que les Européens ont découvert le café, et ce bien avant que les premières plantations ne soient créées ailleurs. À cette époque, les grains étaient cultivés exclusivement sur les plateaux du Yémen, notamment autour de la ville de Sana'a. Les grains récoltés étaient ensuite transportés à dos de mulets ou de chameaux jusqu'au port de Mokha, d'où ils prenaient la mer pour rejoindre les grandes villes d'Europe et d'Asie.Le café exporté par Mokha avait une saveur particulièrement réputée : corsée, intense, légèrement cacaotée. Ce profil aromatique unique, dû à l'altitude et au climat des hauts plateaux yéménites, allait marquer les palais européens. Très vite, le nom "mocha" devint synonyme de café de qualité, et par extension, de café tout court dans certaines régions.Au fil des siècles, la ville de Mokha perdit de son importance. À partir du XIXe siècle, de nouvelles plantations virent le jour ailleurs, notamment à Ceylan (l'actuel Sri Lanka), en Indonésie, puis en Amérique latine. Les Hollandais, puis les Britanniques, développèrent ces cultures coloniales qui finirent par supplanter le quasi-monopole yéménite. Le port de Mokha déclina peu à peu, concurrencé par Aden et d'autres hubs maritimes plus modernes.Malgré cela, le nom "mocha" resta dans les mémoires et s'ancrera durablement dans le langage du café. Lorsque, plus tard, les Italiens ou les Américains commenceront à mélanger du café espresso avec du chocolat fondu et du lait, cette boisson prendra naturellement le nom de "mocha" — en hommage à l'arôme chocolaté du café original venu du Yémen.Aujourd'hui, dans les coffee shops, le terme "mocha" désigne surtout une recette gourmande, à base de café, de chocolat et de lait. Mais son nom raconte une histoire bien plus ancienne, celle des premiers grains exportés sur les voiliers arabes, du goût inimitable du café yéménite… et d'un petit port oublié qui a donné son nom à une boisson mondialement célèbre.

In this episode, 2016 Pew marine fellow Dr. Asha de Vos unpacks the significance of blue whales to our ocean's health and how effects from human activity, such as increased shipping and the whale-watching industry, influence the blue whale's population and migratory pattern. Since this episode first aired in 2019, de Vos has continued conservation efforts through her organization, Oceanswell, and has advanced research on the effects of plastic pollution in Sri Lanka.

    Interview with Gregory Martyr, Executive Chairman of Capital Metals PLCOur previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/capital-metals-lsecmet-unlocking-value-in-high-grade-sri-lankan-mineral-sands-6384Recording date: 16th June 2025Capital Metals (LSE:CMET) has secured a transformative partnership for its Taprobane mineral sands project in Sri Lanka, marking a significant milestone in the company's path to production. The AIM-listed developer announced a 14% investment from Ambeon Capital, a Sri Lankan investment group that brings crucial local expertise and government connections to the high-grade deposit on the country's east coast.The Taprobane project distinguishes itself through exceptional resource quality, featuring 17% grade mineral sands among the world's highest concentrations. Recent aircore drilling has revealed even greater potential, with visual inspections indicating grades exceeding 60% in some areas at depths previously inaccessible through conventional hand auger methods. Executive Chairman Gregory Martyr emphasized the project's economics, noting mining costs of $20 per ton against revenue of $40 per ton, delivering a compelling 100% markup.The strategic value of the Ambeon partnership extends beyond capital injection. Founded by Australian-educated principals combining local market knowledge with international business experience, Ambeon provides direct access to Sri Lankan regulatory channels through its chairman's position on the Board of Investment. This connection proves critical as Capital Metals navigates government requirements for initial raw concentrate exports followed by mandatory value-added processing within two years.Capital Metals plans to commence operations with a $20.9 million concentrate facility utilizing 48 gravity spirals, targeting 125,000 tons of annual production. The company has structured a comprehensive $20 million funding strategy through a Sri Lankan exchange listing, with Ambeon contributing $10 million in equity and arranging $10 million in corporate debt through its banking relationships.The project benefits from established, low-risk processing technology requiring no blasting or chemicals, while the shallow 1.6-meter average depth minimizes operational complexity. With significant drilling inventory yet to be incorporated into resource calculations, the current 10-year mine life could potentially double, supporting the $155 million base case net present value and positioning Capital Metals advantageously in the mineral sands sector.View Capital Metals' company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/capital-metalsSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

    En el año 2004, tras el devastador tsunami en Asia, rescatistas encontraron a un niño pequeño en la costa de Sri Lanka. Estaba solo, cubierto de lodo, pero ileso. Cuando lo alzaron, tenía las manos juntas en oración. Uno de los médicos dijo: “Estaba orando cuando lo hallamos. Lo primero que dijo fue: ‘¿Dios me escuchó?'”. Sí. Dios escucha. Incluso el susurro más débil en medio del desastre llega a Su trono. El Señor Jesús escuchó el clamor de ciegos en multitudes, de madres angustiadas y de ladrones en la cruz. Él nunca está distraído. Su oído no está cerrado. Su corazón no está lejos. La oración no necesita palabras perfectas, solo un corazón sincero. A veces no tienes fuerzas para hablar, pero puedes susurrar. A veces no sabes qué decir, pero puedes llorar y aun así, Dios responde. Por eso, si te sientes a la deriva, sin fuerzas, ni palabras, solo ora. Donde hay oración, hay esperanza. Y donde hay esperanza, hay vida. La Biblia dice en Salmos 34:17: “Claman los justos, y Jehová oye, y los libra de todas sus angustias” (RV1960).

    I del ett – huvudavsnittet – av vår djupdykning i adoptionsfrågan tog vi oss an diskussionen ur en historisk och samhällelig vinkel. Vi konstaterade att kommissionens utredning otvivelaktigt har slagit fast att hiskeliga brott har präglat den internationella adoptionen till Sverige.I del två tar vi en mer personlig approach genom att bjuda in två av våra vänner som är adopterade. Dels för att få höra mer om deras individuella berättelser, dels för att få deras tankar om hemskheterna som utredningen bekräftade och uppdagade. Först Sara Nyman, som efter att ha träffat sin biologiska mamma i Sri Lanka fått bekräftat att hennes adoption gått till på korrekt vis. Men som likväl ser det problematiska i praktiken. Sedan Fernando Lucimí, som efter att ha hittat sin biologiska mamma i Colombia insåg att den officiella versionen av hans adoption var förfalskad. Han blev inte bortlämnad som barn, han blev kidnappad.(Obs, det här avsnittet har ingen ambition att representera adopterade i stort, eller olika läger bland adopterade, det är endast en konversation mellan fyra vänner.)  Hosted on Acast.

    What if your life could become a masterpiece of intentional creativity? Join us as we explore this possibility with Pia Leichter, an author, founder, creative director and guide in this special 30-minute episode.   Celebrating the Creative Potential Within Us All In our conversation with Pia, we dive into the essence of creativity as a vital force beyond the arts, challenging the common misconception that it exists solely in artistic endeavors. She shares insights on how creativity is akin to teaching and coaching, requiring courage and the willingness to embrace uncertainty. We also explore creativity in unexpected domains, from science to law, and highlight its universality, encouraging everyone to recognize their inherent creative potential, irrespective of their field or background.   Shared wisdom and stories, like Pia's rather spontaneous decision to take a four-week journey on the Trans-Siberian Railway, illustrate how we hold the power to rewrite our narratives. We also delve into practical steps for nurturing creativity in everyday life, from morning routines to visualizing desired outcomes, empowering listeners to take control of their own creative destinies.   A Bit More About Our Wise Guest Pia Leichter is a creative partner, published author, certified coach, and entrepreneur. Influenced by her mother's boldness and her father's artistic background, creativity for Pia Leichter is not limited to traditional art forms. Instead it is a way of life that permeates every decision and every moment.   Pia's journey from Canada to New York and eventually Copenhagen has been nothing short of transformative. A recovering nomad, she's reported as a journalist in Sri Lanka, graduated summa cum laude from NYU, and worked as an award-winning creative director for some of the biggest brands in the world. Now, as the founder of Kollektiv Studio, she's uniquely positioned to co-create ventures and wild visions.    Pia recently published a book titled, “Welcome to the Creative Club.” Her book is part memoir and part guidebook, and it will challenge everything you thought you knew about creativity.   She joins us from her home in Copenhagen, Denmark. Over the next hour, you will discover why Pia Leichter is one of the wisest people I know.   Resources Pia's website Kollektiv Studio Get Pia's book “Welcome to the Creative Club” via our Bookshop or via Amazon   Credits Editor + Technical Advisor Bob Hotchkiss Brand + Strategy Advisor Andy Malinoski PR + Partnerships Advisor Rachel Bell Marketing, Social Media and Graphic Design Chloe Lineberg   Stay Connected with Us on Social YouTube @themainthingpod Twitter @themainthingpod Instagram @themainthingpod Facebook  @TheMainThingPod LinkedIn   Help Support and Sustain This Podcast Become a subscriber.

    The global investment landscape is shifting beneath our feet, yet most investors remain fixated on US markets. Rohit Goel, Partner and Head of Global Macro at Breakout Capital, reveals why this myopia could prove costly in the years ahead.Rohit drives home an alarming point: US fiscal deficits running at 6.5-7% of GDP during economic expansion represent an understated risk that markets have largely ignored. "If it is any other country on this planet, you would see a reaction, whether in bond yields or currency," he explains. This fiscal vulnerability could eventually force global investors to demand higher risk premiums on US assets, catalyzing capital flows toward international alternatives.Where might this capital flow? Rohit points to markets starved of investment for fifteen years – Europe, Japan, and particularly emerging markets. Latin America stands at an inflection point with elections potentially delivering reform-minded leadership across major economies. Poland's investment-focused policies create another bright spot, while frontier markets from Nigeria to Sri Lanka implement meaningful reforms after pandemic-era financing constraints forced hard choices.Perhaps most valuable is Rohit's framework for emerging market investing: "In emerging markets, 65% of returns are attributable to country selection." Unlike developed markets where sector selection drives performance, getting the country right is paramount in emerging spaces. And while liquidity remains challenging, patient investors with two-to-five-year horizons stand to benefit as capital eventually follows performance.Rohit also dispels a common misconception about dollar cycles. The currency's likely depreciation over the next several years represents a normal economic cycle unrelated to reserve currency status. Since 1975, the dollar has experienced multiple significant bear markets without losing its position in the global financial architecture.For investors willing to look beyond US borders, the coming years may offer extraordinary opportunities in markets long overlooked by global capital. The question is whether you'll position yourself ahead of this potential sea change or chase it after it's already underway.With ChatDOC, instantly analyze professional documents using AI — featuring word-level citations, chart/formula breakdowns, cross-file query, and full support for PDFs/epub/scanned files.Free version handles 10 documents (up to 3000 pages) and cross-searches 30 files.Click the link below to unlock +10 document slots : https://chatdoc.com?src=leadlaglive Sign up to The Lead-Lag Report on Substack and get 30% off the annual subscription today by visiting http://theleadlag.report/leadlaglive.

    The first “post-COVID” US presidential election is upon us. As most of the people in the world have endured national elections, it is the US's turn in a year that has seen or will see the majority of the world's people experience national elections, from Senegal to Sri Lanka, from Mexico to Mozambique, from India to the European Union. But the pandemic has receded and life cycles beset with perpetual spectacle are back in full effect. The distractions and serial stimuli are stronger than ever in a social structure that grows bloodier with each passing day. Can we pause long enough to ask ourselves how we renew our focus to act as swiftly as we did during the pandemic to intervene in the affairs of society? In Session 34 of In Class, in the wake of the existential crisis triggered by the 2020 US election season, we examined “The Power of the Pause.” The “Summer of The Reckoning” was behind us, as was the 2020 elections, the political culmination of a once-in-a-lifetime convergence of disease, state violence and electoral politics. Now, poised on the brink of a match between the bloody politics of white nationalism and the pragmatic politics of blunting state violence, we must ask ourselves amid the nonstop noise: “can we recapture our imaginations from the frenetic pace of distraction and consumption and take decisive action?”JOIN KNARRATIVE: https://www.knarrative.com it's the only way to get into #Knubia, where these classes areheld live with a live chat.To shop Go to:TheGlobalMajorityMore from us:Knarrative Twitter: https://twitter.com/knarrative_Knarrative Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/knarrative/In Class with Carr Twitter: https://twitter.com/inclasswithcarrSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
