All About Sugarcane: Cultivation, Processing, and Benefits – By Nadeeka – eLanka Sugarcane, scientifically known as Saccharum officinarum, is a tall perennial grass native to the warm temperate to tropical regions of South Asia and Southeast Asia. It belongs to the grass family Poaceae and is primarily cultivated for its juice, from which sugar is processed. The history, cultivation, production, and economic importance of sugarcane form a vast and intricate subject that impacts numerous aspects of human society and natural ecosystems. Historical Context and Global Spread Sugarcane’s journey from its origins to becoming a global agricultural commodity is a testament to its versatility and the evolving human quest for sweeteners. The earliest records of sugarcane cultivation date back to around 8000 BCE in New Guinea, where indigenous people began selecting and cultivating the grass for its sweet juice.

SUNDAY CHOICE – Loved with Everlasting Love – By Charles Schokman The author of this hymn was George W. Robinson. He based the hymn on Colossians 3:3. (For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God.) He is known in hymn history for this one hymn in particular, I Am His and He Is Mine (or Loved with Everlasting Love), published in 1876. He wrote this hymn one year before his death at the age of 39.   I couldn’t find much about Mr. Robinson’s life or death, nor any particular story behind this song.  I don’t know if he died suddenly in a tragic accident, or if he died after an extended battle with illness.  What I do know is that his words reflect a confidence in God.  I really appreciate the confidence that Mr. Robinson speaks of when he talks about whom he belonged to.  His words communicate to me that he ...

Elon Musk: the only Earthling who owns a constellation! – By Hemantha Yapa Abeywardena Santa Claus, who annually delights us, both kids and adults alike, appears to be getting a rival for the grand constellation show – finally. There is a new man in town, who claims – quite rightly and legally, of course – that he owns a constellation of satellites. Up until now, theists used to believe only the Almighty owned them – all of them! Elon Musk, who holds the shifting-title, the world’s richest man, undoubtedly is a genius in the calibre of Newton, Tesla, Edison and many more, who helped mankind making progress in leaps and bounds during the passage of time with many things that we take for granted today; if there is sub-species under sapiens in the human taxonomy chain as ‘geniuses’, Mr Musk certainly has an undisputed slot in it. Of course, there ...

Prof Siri Kannangara – A COLOSSUS, A LEGEND – By Maithri Panagoda AM His high-profile patients are a “Who’s Who” of world champions in different sports around the globe.  The patients adored him, not just as a competent and caring doctor, but as a friend, a mate who could be relied upon when one was confronted with an overwhelming feeling of despair. Observing bodily movements of a patient, he would quickly diagnose the medical condition. With sharp wit and great humour, tempered with a few spicy words, he would then relay any good news as well as bad news in a lighter vein. He was always generous with his time. Prof. Siri Kannangara (“Siri”, as he insisted on being called) has been using his in-depth knowledge and refined skills as a Rheumatologist to help the Australian public, in particular the Sri Lankan community in Australia for over 40 years. A ...
