Minister of State Management Reforms Navin Dissanayake has sent his letter of resignation  from his Ministerial post, to President Mahinda Rajapaksa. In the letter, Dissanayake explains the reasons behind his resignation adding among them was that he was unable to carry out his responsibilities and meet the needs of the people in Nuwara Eliya District, who he represents.

Although some ministers were granted unlimited funds and the approval to create many jobs, ministers like I, who were serving the rural people were provided meagre funding and very few job opportunities to provide to people. Although thi...

Common opposition Presidential candidate Maithripala Sirisena today began his election campaign at his electorate in Pollonaruwa by pledging not to use cutouts or polythene as part of his election campaign. Speaking at the rally in the presence of opposition United National Party (UNP) leader Ranil Wickremesinghe and other senior UNP members, Sirisena said that while cutouts of President Mahinda Rajapaksa had already appeared at several locations, his image will be cutout in the hearts of the public. Maithripala Sirisena said that he had nothing personal against President Mahinda Rajapaksa and that the concerns he had were only based on principle and policy. He said that around six months ago he had raised his concerns over corruption in the Government but he was told he cannot sit in the Government and raise such concerns. Sirisena told the participants at the rally that eventually he could no longer remain in the Government when opinions are not taken seriously. “If d...

Minister of Lands and Land Development Janaka Bandara Tennakoon today made an emotional appeal to the Sri Lanka Freedom Party (SLFP) saying it needs to correct some of its mistakes. Speaking at an event in Dambulla, the Minister broke down at one point saying he will point out the mistakes in the government but not leave the SLFP as that would go against his late father’s wishes. Tennakoon said that he had recently told President Mahinda Rajapaksa that certain people need to be removed from the SLFP and while the President had agreed, those people are still in the SLFP. The Minister said that he had even raised his concerns about the SLFP with the President’s son Namal Rajapaksa. “I had said once there are drug addicts and drunkards in our Government. I even say that now,” the Minister said. He recalled that recently there was speculation he would join the opposition and the rumors had increased after Maithripala Sirisena left to contest for Presidency. The Minister ...

          By Tom Brady There is a saying that states; "Dress for the success you desire". It is sometimes a scary thought to think that what one wears influences their successes in life. However, it is proven that people often formulate their thoughts of someone within the first 30 seconds of their meeting, based on their appearance alone. Fashion alchemy is a wonderful broad style which has something for every individual who is looking to portray a unique and stylish appearance to suit their personality or taste. Most people are drawn to a certain type of style subconsciously, and are quite confident in their choices without having to analyze their decisions. They do not realize how they came to their decision; however, it may be a deliberate process by which they are trying to make a statement. They choose a certain type of outfit daily to evoke a desired reaction from others. The most blatant and obvious fashion cho...

You can also opt to train your own people and employ them so you do not need to hire outsiders. Either of th...

        By Ida Dorsey There are a few things you need to understand when it comes to food establishments in general. Knowing what to expect from them and knowing what they can provide you with is a first. You need to look up their reputation as well as the type of establishment they are. This is quite important since you would be able to set an expectation on their menu. Just like in Cape Coral restaurants where they have mostly seafood as their menu. And not just that, but the actual generalization of each type whether they are big or small, in short, if they are a chain or independent. Although they are three categories, but the classification for them are just two, whether it is local or national. As you might have guessed already, these are either food chains or formally called franchises. They are all over the place and generally has the same meals everywhere you go. The advantage for these chains is that you already kn...

By Pallab Ghosh Science correspondent, BBC News Back to the future: 55 years after the Moon landing could a UK-led probe set down on the Lunar surface A British-led consortium has outlined its plans to land a robotic probe on the Moon in 10 years' time. Its aim is to raise £500m for the project from donations by the public. In return, donors would be able to have photos, text and their DNA included in a time capsule which will be buried under the lunar surface. Lunar Mission One  aims to survey the Moon's south pole to see if a human base can be set up in the future. The plan has received the endorsement of a host of well-known scientists and organisations. These include Prof Brian Cox, the Astronomer Royal Lord Rees, and Prof Monica Grady of the Open University. David Iron, who is leading the project, said he was setting up the initiative because governments were increasingly finding it difficult to fund space missions. "Anyone in the world will be able ...
