Political jokes and thieves' jokes amid Sri Lanka Cricket's membership ban.

 Political jokes and thieves' jokes amid Sri Lanka Cricket's membership ban.

The International Cricket Council has suspended the membership of Sri Lanka Cricket with immediate effect.

The International Cricket Council issued a statement saying that it should be confirmed that there is no government interference in the functioning, independence, and administration of Sri Lanka Cricket.

It is stated in the announcement issued by the council that further consideration of the related matters is expected to be done in the future.

The Board of Directors of the International Cricket Council has held a discussion regarding cricket in Sri Lanka through the online system, after which this decision has been taken.

The 'Cricinfo' website reports that this cricket ban was done at the request of Sri Lanka Cricket.

The Cricinfo website points out that Mr. Shammi Silva, who has already gone to India, has been made to participate in the committee meeting to take this decision.

It is further reported that he is going to participate in the upcoming ICC meeting to be held in Ahmedabad.

The Cricinfo website further points out that when an interim cricket committee was operational in Sri Lanka during 2014-2015, it was accepted by the International Cricket Council.

With the Sri Lankan cricket team continuously losing matches in the 2023 World Cup, Sports Minister Roshan Ranasinghe took steps to appoint an interim cricket control board chaired by former cricket captain Arjuna Ranatunga.

However, when the Chairman of the Cricket Institute took steps to file a case in the Court of Appeal against it, the Court of Appeal imposed an interim ban by suspending the interim governing body for 14 days.

Later, there was a heated discussion about this in the Parliament, and a debate was held regarding the removal of the board of officials including the Chairman of the Sri Lanka Cricket Institute and steps were taken to pass the joint plan in the Parliament.

Meanwhile, Sri Lanka Cricket has also decided to call the COPE committee on the 14th.

In such a background, the International Cricket Council has taken steps to suspend the membership of Sri Lanka Cricket with immediate effect.

We are listening to the jokes of corrupt political figures

 Politicians who deceive people are not inherently funny, but their actions and the way they are portrayed in the media or by comedians can sometimes be a source of humor. Political satire and humor have a long history, and comedians often use satire and caricature to highlight political behavior's absurd or hypocritical aspects.

Some comedians and satirists use humor to shed light on the dishonesty and deception that can occur in politics. Using humor may help the public become more aware of these issues and encourage them to be more critical and informed about political matters.

It's important to remember that while political humor can be entertaining, the underlying issues of deception and dishonesty in politics are serious and can have significant consequences for society. Therefore, citizens need to stay informed and engage in the political process to hold politicians accountable for their actions.

 about watercolor and acrylic portrait

Watercolor and acrylic are two popular painting mediums used for creating portraits. Each medium has its unique characteristics and techniques, which result in distinct visual effects. Here's an overview of watercolor and acrylic portraits:

Watercolor Portraits:

Transparency: Watercolors are known for their transparency, allowing light to pass through the paint layers and reflect off the paper. This transparency is ideal for achieving delicate and subtle effects in portraits.

Layering: Watercolors are typically applied in multiple thin layers. Artists often build up layers gradually to achieve depth and subtle color transitions, making them well-suited for creating soft and nuanced skin tones.

Control: Achieving precision and fine details in watercolor portraits can be challenging due to the fluid nature of the medium. Artists often use techniques like masking fluid and precise brushwork to control the paint.

Paper: Watercolor portraits are usually created on special watercolor paper, which is designed to handle the moisture and absorbency of the medium.

Drying Time: Watercolors dry relatively quickly, allowing for efficient layering and blending.

Portrayal: Watercolor portraits often have a delicate and ethereal quality, making them suitable for capturing the subtle nuances of facial expressions and emotions.

Acrylic Portraits:

Opacity: Acrylic paints are generally opaque, providing strong coverage and allowing artists to easily correct mistakes or make changes to the painting.

Layering: Acrylic portraits can be created using both thin glazes and thick impasto techniques. This versatility makes it possible to achieve a wide range of textures and effects.

Control: Acrylics offer better control and precision compared to watercolors. Artists can use various brushes, palette knives, and additives to manipulate the paint and create fine details.

Support: Acrylic portraits can be painted on a variety of surfaces, including canvas, wood, and paper, with each surface offering unique texture and characteristics.

Drying Time: Acrylic paints dry relatively quickly, but they can be extended with retarders or mediums to allow for longer working times.

Portrayal: Acrylic portraits tend to have a more vivid and bold appearance due to the opaque nature of the paint. Artists can achieve realistic or expressive styles with ease.

When choosing between watercolor and acrylic for portrait painting, consider your personal preferences, style, and the specific effects you want to achieve. Watercolors are often chosen for their delicate and translucent qualities, while acrylics offer more versatility and control for creating a wide range of portrait styles. Ultimately, the choice of medium depends on your artistic goals and the visual impact you want your portrait to convey. Many artists even combine both mediums in mixed-media portraits to take advantage of the unique qualities of each.
