“APPRECIATION OF ARTICLES” – by Des Kelly We, at e’Lanka, now receive very many different articles, whose Authors hope that they will be included in our Newsletters which come out on line, each Wednesday and Sunday respectively. While we do try our utmost, to ‘edit’ every single one of the ‘posts’ sent, the odd one escapes our hurried scrutiny sometimes, and ends up being published. IF any such article causes concern, we do apologise, but we are human, and in humanity, mistakes do occur at times. On the other hand, there are just a few ‘special’ Contributors whose articles appear regularly on e’Lanka preceded by an introduction by me, your Editor. I find myself thanking these friends such as Keith Bennett, Charles Schokman, Victor Melder, Chris Lawton, and a few others personally, for their valued additions to our great website, which now boasts close to thirty thousand avid readers every ...

“GOLD-FEVER” – by Des Kelly My thanks to Chris.Lawton O.A.M., for sending in yet another remarkable video which actually disproves the fact that we come into this World with nothing, and leave with nothing. This rich dude featured, ensured that he did want more personal jewellery on him, when he went, than anyone else in his Country (I would dare to presume EVERYONE else owned). However, the rest of his wealth left behind, is something to behold. I have never seen this fantastic accumulation of GOLD & JEWELS before (in pictures) & decided that very few of us in fact, have had, either, so please enjoy this video folks & remember that, as each of you grows old, protect yourself from so much gold, gold, gold !!. because you still cannot take MOST OF IT WITH YOU, when you go. Desmond Kelly. (Editor-in-Chief) e’Lanka. Gold ! Gold ! Gold ! ...

“THE MAGIF OF TECHNICOLOUR” – BY Des Kelly With due thanks to Chris Lawton, once again, something very different for all the highly valued members and readers of e’-Lanka. For me, and doubtless, for many others, these pictures that magically change colour, at the touch of a finger, will quite definitely bring back memories of the days of only black and white films, both at theatres and on television. Please, let us not forget that there are still classic films in black and white, for us to enjoy, but, when the magicof technicolour did come in, it created a whole lot more of enjoyment for the public in general. It was the same with photography. I still remember the days with my old Kodac box camera that could only produce “shots” in black and white. It all seems to be not so very long ago and yet, while time has ...

As I have always said, there is nothing better than reading interesting articles that tell it exactly as it is, so thank you, Chris., for your contribution to e’Lanka. Desmond Kelly.
