Sri Lanka, Australia Day and Australian Values – The Australian values are conceptualised as inherent in the Australian way of life – by Lionel Bopage by Lionel Bopage ( ( January 26, 2018, Melbourne, Sri Lanka Guardian) A national day such as Australia Day needs to reflect upon their ideal social and moral values and contribute to educating the younger generations to appreciate and adhere to those ideals. It should be a day where those people could feel that the country belongs to them and their future generations; and in doing so to a feel being united and reconciled with each other.

The problem with metformin – Good advice from Dr Harold Are you taking metformin for your diabetes? It is prescribed for over 120 million people worldwide. Do you have any frequent digestive problems such as diarrhoea, flatulence, heavy feeling in your lower abdomen? These symptoms may be due to taking metformin for years.

I am writing this information because my wife has been complaining of occasional bloating of her tummy and heavy feeling in the lower abdomen. Recently a pelvic ultra sound done revealed nothing to worry about. I then asked her to ...

“AUSTRALIAN OF THE YEAR 2018” by Desmond Kelly ‘the Star of eLanka’ “The A.B.C”.,.to the fore, once again, supported by the Commonwealth Bank of Australia, bringing you, the members of eLanka an “on-line” account of what I would term, a most prestigious “Annual-Event” that duly recognises persons chosen by their peers for spectacular achievements carried out for nothing other than making this huge multicultural Continent a better place for EVERYONE HERE, to live in. On purpose, I do not intend to “detail” the names and achievements of 32 different “contenders” for this “title”, I would probably have to keep writing until 2019 to complete “that”, anyway, all the names & achievements of these wonderful people will be in the early morning newspapers of tomorrow, the 26th of January, 2018, Australia-Day & the holiday it entails. However, let me start with the “name” of the holiday. As every eLankan (Lankan/Aussie) should ...

What the weather will be, on that particular day, I haven’t a clue, at the moment, because I have not been able to google the long-range weather forecast as yet, hopefully, it will be a “sunny day”. Why am I writing this ?, you ask. Well, I’ll tell you. They met, for the first time, if you remember, folks, to simply discuss the initial “telephone conversation” that took place between them, where the President ended the ...
