The Cultural Significance and Unity Embodied in the Sinhala and Tamil New Year Celebration – By Malsha – eLanka The transition from the House of Pisces to the House of Aries during the Sinhala and Tamil New Year marks not just a change in seasons, but a shift from the digital world to the embrace of nature and loved ones. In our modern age, where screens often separate us from the warmth of human connection, this annual celebration serves as a poignant reminder of the bonds we share with family and community.

Ron Pieris – A Man For All Seasons – March 6, 1946-April 11, 2024 – By Lawrence Machado When you spoke to Ron Pieris, the conversation will always start and end with a wisecrack. Nothing was off limits for our Ron. A man who easily wore many hats at work and at home, the lanky Ron was always a joy to be with. Despite failing health in recent months, he never stopped his networking and was the first with the news, telling me about someone’s passing away or some great new deal he had spotted online.

He lived a full life and was proud of his hard-working wife, Joy, and children from his previous marriage, Ronny, Sean and Cheryl, speaking highly ...

Only time will tell! – By Hemantha Yapa Abeywardena Credit: Google Maps Source : oilfutures With Iran’s threat against Israel in a direct strike, the tension in the Middle East went up a few notches on the scale of uncertainty, as the United States made it clear once again that it would not be a passive observer if a conflict erupts. The rising tension came in the wake of the daring attack carried out by Israeli F-35 fighter jets on the building that was adjacent to the Iranian embassy in Damascus, the Syrian capital.
