A keyhole to Pri's thoughts on the state of the world. Saturday, 29 October 2016. The latest weapon in the fight against disease DOES surprise me. A post by Sue Desmond-Hellman. CEO at the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation on LinkedIn that randomly found its way into my inbox is titled "The latest weapon in the fight against disease might surprise you" - hence the title of this blog. And how did she come to this realisation? And why is it a mind boggling, new weapon? Because now, this simple co-relation ...

A keyhole to Pri's thoughts on the state of the world. Friday, 2 October 2015. Last week the world’s governments adopted a new sustainable development agenda. Concentrated in the capital city and its environs, and workers in plantations and families in the Batticoloa district as the poorest and most vulnerable; entrenched patriarchy and unequal gender relations; a politicised bureaucracy and disregard for policies, laws and procedures. And obsess with the consequences of the UNHRC resolution for Sri Lanka.

A keyhole to Pri's thoughts on the state of the world. Friday, 26 December 2014. Written by a female member of the CGC. An article in the Colombo Telegraph. Provides an interesting account of a seasoned campaigner’s. The first is their unconditional support to the Common Candidate Project based mainly on their blind faith in the goodness of Ranil Wickremesinghe (undoubtedly a member of their crowd) and his ability to deliver good governance – a vote for Maithree is a vote for Ranil.

A keyhole to Pri's thoughts on the state of the world. Sunday, 4 May 2014. Women in the local economy in post war Sri Lanka. Text of a talk given at the Soroptimist International 40th Anniversary celebration. So, when we look at the challenges for women in the local economy, and the adequacy of response, we need to look at women across the country. Let’s start by looking at what we mean when we say women in the local economy. But, women are not a homogenous group. Is generally understood to be the wealth...

A keyhole to Pri's thoughts on the state of the world. Tuesday, 4 November 2014. There is no such thing as a 'natural disaster'.

What we have are natural hazards. Links to this post. Sunday, 2 November 2014. Dr Gamani Corea,. Engineer, aviator, inventor and athlete, re-imagined a...

A keyhole to Pri's thoughts on the state of the world. Tuesday, 25 August 2015. A reflection on Ray Wijewardene - post The Ray Award 2015. This early landing experience was a prelude to other unusual landings made in the aircraft he built, such as on the lawn in front of the Town Hall (with the excuse that he needed to go to the toilet! Or on to Geoffrey Bawa’s roof in Lunuganga. 8221; they wanted to know! I have talked about Ray’s legacy in a previous blog post. Links to this post. It's not about Rosy.

I’m still here! Tuesday, 4 November 2014 at 9.58pm. I haven’t had much news to post here in recent months, but I just wanted to add a quick note to say that I am still here and busy as ever – mainly working on WordPress themes in a. Guise, but also managing a migration from SharePoint 2010 to 2013 (involving lots of user hand-holding and training, and development of PowerShell scripts to export and import existing content). Monday, 16 December 2013 at 9.15pm. To show my support for the Kakapo Recovery.
