Today, we shine a light on “Anchorage,” a permanent home for two critically wounded sailors located at Walisara, Sri Lanka. This facility serves as a sanctuary for naval personnel who have sustained severe disabilities in the line of duty. Anchorage, an exquisite eco-friendly building constructed by the Navy Civil Engineers, stands proudly adjacent to the Aqua Golf Driving Range, providing a scenic view of the lake. It was made possible through generous funding by the SLN Seva Wanitha Unit and was officially inaugurated by the then Navy Commander, Admiral Piyal De Silva, on July 1, 2020. ...

Mo Gawdat on Future of AI and Organisation Happiness In anticipation of the keynote discussion ‘Mindful Solutions with Mo Gawdat’ organised by Cinnamon Hotels & Resorts, the former CBO of Google [X] and best-selling author, tackles some questions on the future of technology and human performance. Here’s a sneak peek into areas that will be spoken at the much-awaited discussion set to take place here in Sri Lanka later this month, on 28 August at Cinnamon Lakeside Colombo. Q: Currently, where does Artificial Intelligence stand in the world and where is it taking us?  AI will drastically change people’s lives. This is a very disruptive moment where AI will go against everything we know. When playing Tetris, once we place one block wrong, the games become no longer easy, it becomes quicker, and we know it’s only a matter of minutes before it ends. It’s the same with AI. Q:  How has ...

Don’t cry for me Sri Lanka – Why sea turtles and dolphins drying in our waters last month? – by Admiral Ravindra C Wijegunaratne Source : srilankaguardian I am an ex-SBS person, member of elite Sri Lanka Navy Special Boats Squadron, the Naval Commando unit. When our country fought against LTTE, our small groups were deployed in enemy beaches for reconnaissance. These highly trained four-man group of SBS personnel infiltrate in to enemy held area discreetly under cover of darkness.

When such risky clandestine operation was conducted those days, when I was CO SBS, committing my best men for these operations, I also go into a cell, staying day and night sleeping in operations room next to our secure communication set, eating the same rations my boys eat ...
