Royal College in Colombo: Its History-by Michael Roberts Source:Thuppahis Lam Seneviratne, whose preferred title is “100 Years of Royal College at Reid Avenue” A centenary in the life of an Institution is a very long period and calls for much celebration. However, for Royal College, now 188 years old, a grand celebration to mark 100 years at Reid Avenue may not be appropriate. Rev. Joseph Marsh It is opportune to look back to the 88 years of Royal College before its life at Reid Avenue and make a brief sketch. In 1831 the Rev.

Kusal Mendis and Sadeera Samarawickrema fireworks count for nothing as the tail let’s Pakistan cruise past. – BY TREVINE RODRIGO IN MELBOURNE. (eLanka Sports editor) Sri Lanka’s batting continues to flourish on the back of brilliant Kusal Mendis but they were unable to shake off a tenacious Pakistan who overhauled a competitive target to post a six wicket win. Sri Lanka should have capitalised on a great start set up by Kusal Mendis and Sadeera Samarawickrema but the lower order buckled once more reaching 344 for 9 wickets in their 50 overs. Pathum Nissanka was back in form while Kusal Perera failed again before Mendis and Samarawickrema took charge racing to centuries suggesting a winnable 400 run target. But the familiar sight of a limp tail resurfaced to see them fall well short of all expectations. Pakistan were a dominant force allround, underlining why they were ranked number on in ...

Characteristics of German federalism – By Dr. Gamini Kariyawasam A scene from Bonn, Germany Federalism is the organisational principle of the Federal Republic of Germany which has grown and developed over the years and decades.
