# Revolutionary Workers Party (Sri Lanka)

Revolutionary Workers Party−RWP, initially known as Revolutionary Samasamaja Party is a Trotskyist political party in Sri Lanka.

## History

The party was formed in 1968, as a split from the Lanka Sama Samaja Party (Revolutionary). The founding secretary of the party was Edmund Samarakkoddy.
The party adopted its current name in 1973.
RSP had denounced the 1971 uprising of the Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna as adventuristic.
In the latter half of the 1970s, RWP developed contacts with the international Spartacist tendency. The relationship with the Spartacists was broken in 1979, and in 1981 RWP suffered a split when a minority formed the Spartacist Group India/Lanka.
After the break with the Spartacists, RWP developed close contacts to an Italian split-off from iSt, the Revolutionary Workers Group (GOR). In 1991 RWP was one of the founder of the International Liaison Committee of Communists, an international Trotskyist tendency that is now defunct.
Samarakkoddy died in 1992. Little remains of the RWP today.

# New Democratic Marxist–Leninist Party

The New Democratic Marxist–Leninist Party (Sinhala: නව-ප්‍රජාතන්ත්‍රවාදී මාක්ස්-ලෙනින්වාදී පක්ෂය, Nava-Prajathanthravadi Maks-Leninvadi Pakshaya; Tamil: புதிய-ஜனநாயக மார்க்சிச-லெனினிச கட்சி) is a communist party in Sri Lanka. The party emerged in 1978 following a split in the Ceylon Communist Party (Maoist). The party initially called itself 'Ceylon Communist Party (Left)'. The founding general secretary was K.A. Subramaniam, the current is S.K. Senthivel.

## History
### Background

In June 1963, K.A. Subramaniam and D.B. Alwis have signed an agreement with All-China Youth Federation on behalf of the Ceylon Federation of Communist and Progressive Youth Leagues for cooperation between the two organizations. They met China's vice premier and foreign minister Chen Yi (marshal) during this trip to the People's Republic of China in 1963. Since 1964, when several hundreds of members and carders who had joined the Ceylon Communist Party (Maoist) because it was a revolutionary party became dissatisfied with the party leadership and began to quit the party and became isolated individuals or joined other parties. K.A. Subramaniam joined the others who decided to stay in the party and were confident that they could build up the party anew, on the correct lines.
Samal De Silva and others who continued to stay in the party which had N. Sanmugathasan as its General Secretary, were forced to change their position in 1978, at a special party conference which was summoned in the middle of 1978, though a full report incorporating correct ideological, political and organisational standpoints was presented under the leadership of K.A. Subramaniam and debated, the report was not accepted and arbitrary decisions were taken. In this background, party members who had assembled from various parts of Sri Lanka decided to form a separate party. K.A. Subramaniam accepted the proposal with much reluctance and came forward to implement it resolutely.

### Founding and later history

In 1978, Ceylon Communist Party (Maoist), led by N. Sanmugathasan, issued a public statement in defiance of the decision of the central committee not to accept the decision of the Tamils self-determination and reject the Three Worlds Theory, many including Samal De Silva, K.A. Subramaniam, S.K. Senthivel left the party and formed a new political party. On 3 July 1978 a Conference of Party members was held. At that conference it was resolved that the new party should be named Communist Party of Sri Lanka (Left), and till a party congress was held, and an interim organising committee was chosen by the conference, he was elected secretary of the committee. K.A. Subramaniam deployed all his skills to build up the party as a strong organisation and to make it take root among the working people.
Communist Party of Sri Lanka (Left) changed its name to the New Democratic Party in 1991, and after that to New-Democratic Marxist-Leninist Party at its 5th All Ceylon Conference held in Colombo in June 2010. Currently S.K. Senthivel is the general secretary, and internationally the party is affiliated with ICOR.

# Cookie cutter

A cookie cutter in North American English, also known as a biscuit cutter outside North America, is a tool to cut out cookie/biscuit dough in a particular shape.
They are often used for seasonal occasions when well-known decorative shapes are desired, or for large batches of cookies where simplicity and uniformity are required. Cookie cutters can also be used for shaping, molding, forming and cutting numerous other types of foods, including meat patties, flapjacks, sandwiches and decorative embellishments for platters (for example, fancy-cut fruit).

## Types and variations
### Cutout

    Most commonly made of copper, tin, stainless steel, aluminium, or plastic. Cutouts are the simplest of the cookie cutters; the cutter is pressed into cookie dough that has been rolled flat to produce the shape of the cutter's outline. To keep the dough from sticking, they are often dipped in flour or sugar before use.

### Detail imprint

    Commonly made of copper, tin, or plastic. Detail imprints are similar to cutout cookie cutters, except that detail imprints also mark the surface of the dough.

### Cookie mould

    Usually made of wood, ceramic, or plastic. Springerle moulds are the oldest examples of such, and are popular for Scottish shortbread. A cookie mould typically has an ornate design debossed into the surface; the mould is pressed into the cookie dough to produce an embossed design. These moulds may be flat disks or may be in the shape of a rolling pin.

### Cookie press

    An automated or hand-operated cookie press, also called a cookie gun, is used to make large batches of cookies quickly. The cookie dough is extruded onto the baking sheet in ornate shapes that would otherwise be too difficult or time-consuming to create by hand.

### Cookie cutting sheet

    Used for larger volumes, a production cookie cutting sheet is a piece of sturdy plastic the size of a full sheet pan that essentially has dozens of cutout cookie cutters mounted on to it. Rather than rolling out the dough and pressing the cutter into the top of the dough, the cutting sheet is placed on the baking sheet, cutting side up. A sheet of cookie dough, already rolled to the correct thickness, is laid on top of the cutting sheet, and a rolling pin is used to press the dough down on to the sharp edges of the cutting sheet. The cut cookies fall through the holes into the sheet, into their properly spaced positions on the baking sheet. The scrap dough and cutting sheet are removed, and the pan is ready for baking. Cookie cutter sheets allow high volume production without the time or risk of moving cut cookies to baking sheets, resulting in rapid production of a more uniformly shaped and spaced product.

## Commercial scale

Cookie cutters generally make a single shape at one time, but other options are available for large-scale production.
In 1875, Alexander P. Ashbourne patented the first biscuit cutter in the US, useful for cutting multiple cookies, cakes, or baking powder biscuits at once. It consisted of a board to roll the dough out on, which was hinged to a metal plate with various cutting spring-loaded shapes mounted to it.
# Antiochus of Syracuse

Antiochus of Syracuse (Ancient Greek: Ἀντίοχος ὁ Συρακούσιος) was a Greek historian of Magna Graecia, who flourished around 420 BC. Little is known of Antiochus' life, but his works, of which only fragments remain, enjoyed a high reputation because of their accuracy. He wrote a History of Sicily from the earliest times to 424 BC, which was used by Thucydides, and the Colonizing of Italy, frequently referred to by Strabo and Dionysius of Halicarnassus. He is one of the authors (= FGrHist 555) whose fragments were collected in Felix Jacoby's Fragmente der griechischen Historiker.
# Baltic mythology

Baltic mythology is the body of mythology of the Baltic peoples stemming from Baltic paganism and continuing after Christianization and into Baltic folklore.

## History

Baltic mythology ultimately stems from Proto-Indo-European mythology. The Baltic region was one of the last regions of Europe to be Christianized, a process that began in the 15th century and continued for at least a century afterward. While no native texts survive detailing the mythology of the Baltic peoples during the pagan period, knowledge of such beliefs may be gained from Roman and German chronicles, from later folklore, from etymology and from the reconstructions of comparative mythology.
While the early chronicles (14th and 15th century) were largely the product of missionaries who sought to eradicate the native paganism of the Baltic peoples, rich material survives into Baltic folklore. This material has been of particular value in Indo-European studies as, like the Baltic languages, it is considered by scholars to be notably conservative, reflecting elements of Proto-Indo-European religion. The Indo-European Divine Twins are particularly well represented as the Dieva dēli (Latvian 'sons of god') and Dievo sūneliai (Lithuanian 'sons of god'). According to folklore, they are the children of Dievas (Lithuanian and Latvian - see Proto-Indo-European *Dyeus). Associated with the brothers and their father are two goddesses; the personified Sun, Saule (Latvian 'sun') and Saules meita (Latvian 'Sun's daughter').
