Vehicle ownership in Sri Lanka.
Every third person owns a vehicle in Sri Lanka
March 23, 2016, Island by
Dasun Edirisinghe
Nearly one in every three persons owns a vehicle in Sri Lanka,
according to a recent survey, Transport and Civil Aviation Minister Nimal
Siripala de Silva says. The minister said the country had 6.3 million
vehicles at present for a population of 21 million. The minister was
addressing a seminar in Badulla organised to educate driving instructors of
Moneragala, Badulla, Ampara and Ratnapura Districts on Monday
Vehicle Ownership
According to Wikipedia the motor vehicle ownership rate for Sri Lanka in 2012 was 76 per 1000 persons. If the Minister's figure of 1 in 3 is correct it should be 333 per 1000 persons. So the question arises if the Minister included bicycles and bullock carts also in his calculation !
Some comparative figures for motor vehicle ownership per 1000 persons are as follows:

Global warming could deplete the oceans’ oxygen.

In the long list of troubling climate change scenarios, there’s one that

consequences. It goes like this: The oceans are getting warmer — they are,
after all, where 90 percent of global warming actually ends up. And when

An Eagle Kiss
The power of touch!
jksw
snuggled up next to them!Freedom and JeffFreedom and I have been together 11 years this summer.
She came in as a baby in 1998 with two broken wings.
Her left wing doesn't open all the way even after surgery,
it was broken in 4 places. She's my baby.When Freedom came in she could not stand
and both wings were broken. She was
emaciated and covered in lice. We made the
decision to give her a chance at life, so I took
her to the vet's office. From then
on, I was always around her. We had her in a
huge dog carrier with the top off, and it
was loaded up with shredded newspaper for her to
lay in. I used to sit and talk to her,
urging her to live, to fight; and she would lay
there looking at me with those big brown eyes.
We also had to tube feed her for weeks.This went on for 4-6 weeks, and by then she still
couldn't stand. It got to the point where the
decision was made to euthanasia her
if she couldn't stand in a week. You know you don't
want to cross that line between torture and
rehab, and it looked like death was
winning. She was going to be put
down that Friday, and I was supposed to come in
on that Thursday afternoon. I didn't want to go
to the centre that Thursday, because I couldn't
bear the thought of her being euthanasia;
but I went anyway, and when I walked in everyone
was grinning from ear to ear. I went
immediately back to her cage; and there she was,
standing on her own, a big beautiful
eagle. She was ready to live. I was
just about in tears by then. That
was a very good day.We knew she could never fly, so the director
asked me to glove train her.
I got her used to the glove,
and then to jesses, and we started
doing education programs for schools
in western Washington .
We wound up in the newspapers,
radio (believe it or not) and some
TV. Miracle Pets even did a show
about us.In the spring of 2000, I was diagnosed with
non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. I had stage 3,
which is not good (one major organ plus
everywhere), so I wound up doing 8 months of
chemo. Lost the hair - the whole
bit. I missed a lot of work. When I
felt good enough, I would go to Sarvey
and take Freedom out for walks. Freedom would
also come to me in my dreams and help me fight
the cancer. This happened time and time again.Fast forward to November 2000the day after Thanksgiving,
I went in for my last checkups.
I was told that if the cancer was not
all gone after 8 rounds of chemo, then my last
option was a stem cell transplant. Anyway, they
did the tests; and I had to come back Monday for
the results. I went in Monday, and I was
told that all the cancer was gone.
So the first thing I did was get up to Sarvey and
take the big girl out for a walk. It was misty
and cold. I went to her flight and jessed her
up, and we went out front to the top of the
hill. I hadn't said a word to
Freedom, but somehow she knew. She looked at me
and wrapped both
her wings around me to where I
could feel them pressing in on my back
(I was engulfed in eagle wings), and she
touched my nose with her beak and stared into my
eyes, and we just stood there like that
for I don't know how long. That was a
magic moment. We have been soul mates ever
since she came in. This is a very special bird.On a side note: I have had people who
were sick come up to us when we are out, and
Freedom has some kind of hold on
them. I once had a guy who was
terminal come up to us and
I let him hold her.
His knees just about buckled and he
swore he could feel her power course through his
body. I have so many stories like that..I never forget the honor I have of being so close
to such a magnificent spirit as Freedom.Hope you enjoyed this!
Cancer is a strange cell.
You can go along for years in remission
and then one day it pops its head up again.
If you ever have it you will never be free of it.
A SMALL REQUEST...
93% won't forward, but I'm Sure You Will.
A small request.....Just one line
All you are asked to do is keep this circulating.
Even if it's only to one more person.
In memory of anyone you know who has been
struck down by cancer or is still living with it
Or just someone who enjoys a GREAT STORY
