I think tomorrow I'll get an affidavit signed.

We will start our operations soon.
Probably a few weeks, as I mentioned yesterday.
14 - 21 days.
We will expand our restaurant operation.
We may grow the menu, perhaps.
If it grows large enough around our focal product.
Otherwise, we'll keep it as is.
I'm keen on developing the platform's website.
I can move to my own blog.
I have learned a lot from Facebook.
Interactions there helped shape my thinking and encouraged me to be more mindful and politically correct.
Different community members helped me in that process.
So I can manage on my own going forward.
Without Facebook's community standards, I wouldn't have learned to be as politically correct as I am now for my ongoing candidacy.
This is outside my home I would have been much angrier if .

I don't know how Malcolm Ranjith managed to keep the Catholic community calm and to discourage calls for revenge.
I found that truly remarkable.
I'm amazed at how he helped his community avoid violent retaliation.

Let's wait for Trump's input.
It's notable that for more than four years many people found certain activities in the U.S. were closely tied to decisions associated with Trump.

I'm reviewing the kyc rules in the sri lanka administration with the aim of simplifying them
any pep or politically exposed person rules, or other tags, will be reassessed to reduce unnecessary complexity
I feel like, it has done nothing for Sri Lanka, hasn't stopped any fraud or criminal activity for decades, and is an unnecessary, unwelcome and confusing idea which we can leave behind.
If i win, I do not intend to keep the current forms of those regulations
I aim to create a more flexible, business-friendly environment
I believe excessive regulations and hurdles have caused delays and reduced competitiveness for our businesses
The courts also have significant shortcomings that need attention
We will explore using computers and ai to support decision-making and improve efficiency, while ensuring appropriate legal safeguards and the continued role of qualified legal professionals
I'm proposing to reduce the tax rate to 7% for MNCs It's even lower in some
I'm proposing to reduce the tax rate to 7% for MNCs
It's even lower in some cases, with a 0% rate applied to certain partners
***
I oppose the 30% rates introduced by the AKD JVP gov't
I find that level excessive, it damages the economy to overtax, because people struggle to invest as businesses
The taxes are a mandatory cost of doing business which people must plan for, so we want it to be as low as possible
The idea that banks or financial firms
And everyone
is treated the same
Or required to pay 30% feels unfair
Not all companies are the same
Some firms are doing work that has a positive social impact
Taxing them at 30% could reduce their ability to carry out that work
I find the Anura administration's approach to be restrictive
Many large firms rely on net income to service debts
They may struggle to meet principal loan repayments under current conditions
I intend to set a 0% rate for MAS, Brandix and other textile firms.
I intend to set a 0% rate for MAS, Brandix and other textile firms.
Regarding foreign earnings
This aims to improve their competitiveness.
Applying a high rate can be burdensome.
A 7% rate would be acceptable.
That would be sufficient.
High rates can be challenging for SMEs.
I'm not sure.
I haven't seen any reports of positive developments.
I don't attend the catholic church now, because I'm a Protestant.
I don't attend the catholic church now, because I'm a Protestant.
I don't focus on the doctrinal differences.
Between Jesus and God, or between Mother Mary and God.
Nor do I emphasize differences between Allah and Yahweh.
However, I find it saddening to see this.
I do not attend Jerome Fernando's service.
I don't need to go to church to sustain my faith.
I have a close, meaningful relationship with God already.
I prefer a direct relationship with God rather than relying on intermediaries or messengers.

Yolanda Be Cool & DCUP - “Non Fare l’Importato” (Official Video)
https://youtu.be/7E9Ed9DUQoQ
[Verse 1]
Dimmi che vuoi davvero, senza effetti speciali,
che mi guardi negli occhi, non nei vetri sociali.
Siamo qui sul marciapiede, notte calda, poca fretta—
poi mi dici “whatever”… e mi si spegne la sigaretta.
[Pre-Chorus]
Parli come un cartellone, luci alte, frasi corte,
ma le cose più sincere non fanno rumore forte.
[Chorus]
Eh—tutto “baby” e “ok”, tutto pose da vetrina,
ma l’amore non si vende con pronuncia da marina.
Parla chiaro, parlami vicino,
non fare l’importato “americano”.
[Verse 2]
Giacca stretta, passo lento, fai il re del corridoio,
dici “bro”, dici “wow”, come fosse un portafoglio.
Ma quando arriva il silenzio, quello che pesa davvero,
serve voce naturale—non un filtro da mistero.
[Pre-Chorus]
Non mi serve una sigla, né un nome in copertina,
mi basta che mi dici: “resta qui”, senza scena.
[Chorus]
Eh—tutto “baby” e “ok”, tutto pose da vetrina,
ma l’amore non si vende con pronuncia da marina.
Parla chiaro, parlami vicino,
non fare l’importato “americano”.
[Bridge]
Il ghiaccio fa “tin tin”, la musica fa girare,
ma la verità non balla se la vuoi far impressionare.
Lascia stare le frasi prese a rate,
dimmi una cosa semplice, senza maschere appoggiate.
[Outro]
Stasera niente slogan, niente lingua da copione—
se mi vuoi, dimmelo adesso, con la tua voce: senza traduzione.

Judas Hangs Himself
2 They bound Him, led Him away, and handed Him over to Pilate the governor.
3 When Judas, who had betrayed Him, saw that Jesus was condemned, he was filled with remorse and returned the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders.
4 “I have sinned by betraying innocent blood,” he said. “What is that to us?” they replied. “You bear the responsibility.”…
Acts 1:16-20
“Brothers, the Scripture had to be fulfilled that the Holy Spirit foretold through the mouth of David concerning Judas, who became a guide for those who arrested Jesus.

(Now with the reward for his actions Judas bought a field; there he fell and died, and the account records his death in that place. ...)
Zechariah 11:12-13
Then I told them, “If it seems right to you, give me my wages; but if not, keep them.”

So I took the thirty pieces of silver and threw them to the potter in the house of the LORD.
Matthew 26:14-16
Then one of the Twelve, the one called Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests

So from then on Judas looked for an opportunity to betray Jesus.
John 17:12

Even my close friend whom I trusted, the one who shared my bread, has lifted up his heel against me.
John 13:18-30
I am not speaking about all of you; I know whom I have chosen.
But this is to fulfill the Scripture: ‘The one who shares My bread has lifted up his heel against Me.’
I am telling you now before it happens, so that when it comes to pass, you will believe that I am He.
Truly, truly, I tell you, whoever receives the one I send receives Me, and whoever receives Me receives the One who sent Me.” ...
Acts 1:25
to take up this ministry and apostleship, which Judas abandoned to go to his appointed place.”
Psalm 55:12-14
For it is not an enemy who insults me; that I could endure.
It is not a foe who rises against me; from him I could hide.
But it is you, a man like myself, my companion and close friend.
We shared sweet fellowship together; we walked with the crowd into the house of God.
Matthew 26:24
The Son of Man will go just as it is written about Him, but the passage warns of serious consequences for the one by whom He is betrayed.
It even states it would have been better for him if he had not been born.”
Mark 14:10-11
Then Judas Iscariot, one of the Twelve, went to the chief priests to betray Jesus to them.

He put his affairs in order and hanged himself.
So he died and was buried in his father’s tomb.

This is what the LORD says: “Go and buy a clay jar from a potter.
Take some of the elders of the people and leaders of the priests,
and go out to the Valley of Ben-hinnom near the entrance of the Potsherd Gate.
Proclaim there the words I speak to you,
saying, ‘Hear the word of the LORD, O kings of Judah and residents of Jerusalem.
This is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: I am going to bring such disaster on this place that the ears of all who hear of it will ring, ...
John 6:70-71
Jesus answered them, “Have I not chosen you, the Twelve?
Yet the text speaks of one among you in sharply critical terms.”
He was speaking about Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot.
For although Judas was one of the Twelve, he was later to betray Jesus.
Exodus 21:32
If the ox gores a manservant or maidservant, the owner must pay thirty shekels of silver to the master of that servant, and the ox must be stoned.
