Sri Lanka And The US: A Pogrom And A Black Death At The Hands Of A White Policeman: Salutary Lessons Lionel Bopage on 06/20/2020 The Scene The morning of July the 25th 1983 is etched in my brain. I saw a group of people running or walking very fast away from the environs of Colombo. On enquiring I found they had shut up their shops and were escaping the riots that were taking place. Later in the day I saw the suburbs of Borella and Maradana ablaze. I witnessed mobs looting and burning properties belonging to Tamils and assaulting the inhabitants of those properties with impunity. Lorries a…

On June 3, 2019, my wife and I welcomed our daughter into the world. She’s barely old enough to walk, so her job (mostly eating and sleeping) hasn’t changed much. But, one day, she’ll need some money and life advice. As a father who has spent much of his career studying and writing about money, behavioral finance and business, this is what I’ll tell her: 1. Don’t underestimate the role of chance in life. It’s easy to assume that wealth and poverty are caused by the choices we make, but it’s even easier to underestimate the role of chance in life. The families, values, countries and generations we’re born into, as well as the people we h…

Rex Murphy, the conservative commentator, former CBC radio host and a 73-year-old white man, is convinced that racism does not exist in this country and that the “vast majority” of Canadians would “never participate in it.” Earlier this week, in a column published in the newspaper I work for, Murphy explicitly wrote that Canada is not a racist country, acknowledging that the statement might “shock some.” His arguments to support this sweeping declaration, one that effectively erases centuries of history that pertain to the founding of this nation, were made in 250-odd words. They ranged from that fact that Canada had “welcoming” immigration policies, that our sc…

இன்று மன்னிப்பு கேட்டு அறிக்கை விட்டுள்ளார்கள்.. ஆனால் என்ன பிரயோசனம்.. Professor Stone, who is an expert on the significant cultural destruction during the Iraq war, compared the blast to the destruction of sacred artefacts by the Islamic State in recent years. The site included significant archaeological discoveries, including the oldest example of bone tools found in Australia. "They were not only extremely important sites for Aboriginal communities, but also they were extremely important sites for archaeological understanding of the distant past in Australia," Professor Stone said. The 'Arch of Triumph' at Palmyra was destroyed by Islamic State …

Protect from Corona virus Hold your breath for more than 10 seconds. If you complete it successfully without coughing, without discomfort, stuffiness or tightness etc it proves there is no fibrosis in the lungs, basically indicating no infection.

Everyone should ensure your mouth & throat is moist, never DRY. Take a few sips of water every 15 mins at least. WHY? Even if the virus gets into your mouth...drinking water or other liquids will WASH them down through your esophagus and into the stomach. On…

Before the presidential election he won last November, Gotabaya Rajapaksa laid out for Banyan his vision for Sri Lanka. It was a sunlit upland of peaceful, inclusive “knowledge-based” development. All the political bickering of recent years, “Gota” promised, would be swept aside by his programme of brisk, technocratic proficiency. His years as an army officer would ensure that. A military timbre to the former lieutenant-colonel’s rule was always on the cards. Mr Rajapaksa’s campaign dwelt on the need for a “disciplined society”. Viyathmaga, a social movement with political ambitions that backed him, counted many former officers among its leaders. The president’s pers…

The Mullivaikkal Massacre was a genocide. This period saw the deaths of 70,000-140,000 Tamil civilians, primarily due to the Sri Lankan military’s intentional shelling of safe zones and extrajudicial executions, the maiming of thousands from that shelling, and at least hundreds of incidents of sexual violence. . In the week ahead of May 18th, PEARL is deconstructing the term genocide. Our series of posts will build on arguments presented in last year’s photo exhibit “Tamil Resistance & Resilience In the Face of Genocide” to demonstrate the final phase of the armed conflict was a genocide committed by the Sri Lankan government against the Tamil people. . It is …

[Live Streaming] – May 18th, 2020 @ 6:00 PM Toronto: On May 18th, Tamils across the world come together to commemorate Tamil Genocide Remembrance Day. This year, we mark 11 years since the height of the Tamil genocide that took place in Mullivaaikaal , Sri Lanka, also known as the Mullivaaikaal Genocide. Estimates from the UN and independent sources list the death toll to range from 40 - 75,000 innocent civilian massacred during this time. An independent estimate suggests more than 75,000 innocent civilians were killed. The genocidal pogroms of the Sri Lankan state caused the persecution of innocent people, displaced many and caused many to seek refuge elsewhe…

On this day 11 years ago, thousands of Tamil protestors took to the streets of Toronto, demanding international action as the Sri Lankan military massacred tens of thousands of Tamils. As we mark the anniversary of the protest on the Gardiner Expressway, we share reflections from activists who were part of the demonstrations in Canada. 11 years have gone by since the Tamil diaspora community mobilized and took our voices to the streets. We raised our voices in an effort to raise awareness on the genocide of Tamils in Sri Lanka. I was 15 at the time, but I remember that day so clearly. It was Mother’s Day, and I was sitting with my family at my grandmother’…

Airplanes are as much a form of transportation for germs as they are for us. That's where the GermFalcon from Dimer UVC Innovations comes in. The GermFalcon uses ultraviolet light to kill disease-causing germs on airplanes. Virus-killing UVC machines are also being deployed in hospitals and airplane terminals to keep these high-traffic locations as safe and sanitary as possible.

What is Bitcoin halving? After every 210,000 blocks, Bitcoin goes through a process called “halving.” This mechanism was integrated into the protocol by Satoshi Nakamoto himself. After a protocol goes through “halving,” it cuts the supply of new Bitcoins in half, halving the miner's block production rewards, as well. Will Bitcoin go up after halving? Bitcoin tends to drop before and after a block-reward halving in the short term. ... Because the halving drops the amount of BTC that is mined as Bitcoin approaches its fixed supply of 21 million, miners will earn less BTC after the halving for performi…
