hi, i hope i am not crossing a line, please ignore if this is bad question. i am just curious

in one of your posts u said your caste is karava. this is the first time i am hearing a sinhalese talk about caste (i speak tamil and never really felt confident in my sinhala to make sinhalese friends)

can you explain about the castes or tell me where find information about it

Caste is a fucked up concept across the board, obviously, but Sinhalese castes are different from Tamil Hindu in that they involve the cultural and socio-political organisation of the Sinhalese community, and has no connection to religious scripture.

There are thirteen castes that still exist today. We used to be a chiefly agrarian society, so the majority of Sinhalese are Govigama ("Govi" means farming) and they're the kind of "bourgeoisie" of the social order in that few are above them and anyone else is below them. Those that rank below them are castes like Bathgama and Kinnara (who are meant to be agricultural labourers) Vahampura (something to do with making cinnamon or treacle) Navadanna (artisans, especially makers of jewelry) and Rada (launderers). Radala is the caste of the nobility, and afaik the only one above Govigama. They're all from highlands of Kandy, the last Sinhalese holdout against the Europeans for about 200 years. There's no nobility among the lowlanders (between the Portuguese, Dutch and British, they were either killed, assimilated or fled to Kandy) so the Govigama caste is the highest one everywhere else. This means Govigama used to be the only one that was qualified to join the Theravada Buddhist priesthood* and also receive education and job opportunities as government servants—right up until the mid-20th century, when the karava gentry turned into robber barons under the British Empire's demand for cash crops.

Karava people are the majority inhabitants in the Southern coastal lands, which are predominantly Sinhalese Buddhist, as opposed to the Tamil lands of the Northern coast (Eelam really) and the proliferation of sparsely-populated Muslim communities in the rest of the coastal belt. Karava is called the fisherfolk caste by the rest of country, despite their own strong objections. Caste is reckoned patrilineally. I'm Karava through my Dad and I married into a Karava family. Nearly every Karava person I know insists that we're actually the warrior caste and were given the coastal lands as reward for our service to the king. I'm sure there's a legitimate case to be made for this, (this site keeps being referred to me) but I don't care enough to find out because the Karava insistence that being called fisherfolk is a Govigama conspiracy is incredibly funny. I mean, it could be true, what do I know, but so much of the cope and seethe stem from our lingering inferiority complex and resentment at having been treated as inferior until a few decades ago. After being ground under the Radala and Govigama feet along with the rest for ages beyond record, suddenly us lowlanders were rolling in money from our toddy, coconut and rubber plantations, matching or surpassing the wealth of the nobility. We were chasing off Tamil and Muslim minorities to establish our own lost cultural capitals in Anuradhapura and Pollonnaruwa that predated the Kandyan kingdom and making our own sect of the Buddhist priesthood (Amarapura Nikaya) that would ordain Karava people. The robber baron types also got very chummy with the British colonial administration and were awarded cushy jobs in government over the Govigama, who still disdained industrialization and commerce. (To this day my mother's family looks down on business people no matter how rich. Merchants are considered grasping and untrustworthy.) By the time of Sri Lanka's independence from the British in 1948, we had two varieties of equally rich, snooty, virulently ethnonationalist Sinhalese elites who had gotten ahead by selling us out to the British, but with the highland Radala still believing they were too pure-blooded to mix with the hoi polloi and the lowland Karava resentful at being considered the polloi no matter how hoi they'd become. Post-independence, Sri Lanka's adoption of free education and free state universities saw masses of lowlanders, Karava, Durava and Salagama all, sending their kids to university to attain upwardly mobile careers in engineering, medicine and teaching. "If the boy is Karava he's probably in engineering" is a common joke. It's a clear shift away from our rural agrarian roots into urban sprawl and high socio-economic competition in place of social stratification.

We also have a caste of Untouchables called the Rodiya. In ancient times, you and all your family being stripped of their lands and titles and banished into the Rodi Rahaya was one of the punishments reserved for the noble houses that ran afoul of the monarchy. It condemned your entire lineage forever. This was such a dire fate that some would have favoured execution.

Rodiyas were not permitted to cross a ferry, to draw water at a well, to enter a village, to till land, or learn a trade, as no recognised caste could deal or hold intercourse with a Rodiya [...] They were forced to subsist on alms or such gifts as they might receive for protecting the fields from wild beasts or burying the carcasses of dead cattle; but they were not allowed to come within a fenced field even to beg [...] They were prohibited from wearing a cloth on their heads, and neither men nor women were allowed to cover their bodies above the waist or below the knee. If benighted they dare not lie down in a shed appropriated to other travellers, but hid themselves in caves or deserted watch-huts. Though nominally Buddhists, they were not allowed to go into a temple, and could only pray "standing afar off"

(Source)

Allegations of witchcraft and cannibalism aside, the Rodiyas themselves were known to be a proud folk that considered themselves the pure-blooded descendants of the royalty that were punished this way. Here's a Reddit post that expounds on them more, along with photographs. It seems that the strictures against covering up had fallen away between the turn of the 20th century and the '70s. Not much is known about their current living conditions, but I believe that, like India's own Untouchables and the low caste of Eelam's Tamil Hindus, they must have converted to Christianity to escape the stigma.

Casteism is still somewhat of a problem in the Sinhalese community, but it's lessening every generation. My maternal grandparents weren't entirely happy about my mother marrying my Karava father but conceded because he was an engineer with a stable career. My older cousin had to fight his Karava family to marry his school sweetheart because she was both poor and Bathgama caste (I think "Padu" might be a derogatory name for it). The fact that he succeeded is noteworthy because it would have been a huge scandal in my parents' time. The Radalas are still a bunch of insular dipshits who try to keel over and die if one of them tries to marry out. But many of them are also migrating abroad so Idk if it's too much to hope that they leave the caste shit behind when they assimilate into Western society. It certainly hasn't worked for the Brahmin Indians. But the outlook is better for the rest of us.

*There is no caste system in Buddhism. The Buddha in fact was an egalitarian social reformer who advocated against the Vedic caste system and ordained Untouchables as well as women. So obviously the Theravadin priesthood of Sri Lanka, that bastion of the Buddha's Word, would make sure that only high caste men could ever be ordained. Love the fact that the Karava social revolution just made sure they had their own sect instead of, y'know, pushing for anything more equitable. I always say that if we really want to protect Buddhism we have to abolish the Sinhalese.

Global Electric Tuk-tuks: An Eco-Friendly Revolution in Mobility

The Rise of Electric Tuk-tuks Electric tuk-tuks, also known as e-tuk-tuks, are gaining popularity around the world as a sustainable form of transportation. The small, three-wheeled electric vehicles first emerged in parts of Asia as a more environmentally friendly alternative to gasoline-powered tuk-tuks. Now, e-tuk-tuks are being adopted in various cities and countries as electric micro-mobility takes off globally. E-tuk-tuks have several advantages over gas versions. They produce zero direct tailpipe emissions, helping tackle air pollution in congested urban areas. Electric motors also require less maintenance than internal combustion engines. With no clutch or gear changes, e-tuk-tuks are easy to operate. Their quiet engines make them suitable for dense neighborhoods and pedestrian zones. Battery technology improvements have increased driving ranges to over 80 kilometers on a single charge. This makes e-tuk-tuks practical for daily use without needing to refuel as frequently. Quick charging capabilities allow batteries to replenish in a few hours using standard electric vehicle charging stations. All these factors have boosted the viability and appeal of electric three-wheelers over diesel or gasoline models. Expanding Use Cases Across Continents Countries across Asia were early adopters of Global Electric Tuk-tuks, led by Sri Lanka, Thailand and India where they are commonly used for passenger transport and deliveries. Their popularity is now spreading to other regions facing mobility and sustainability challenges. In Africa, Rwanda has emerged as a leader in adopting electric vehicles and piloted e-tuk-tuks in its capital Kigali. Parts of Europe and Latin America are also seeing a rise in e-tuk-tuk trials and deployments. New Applications for Sustainable Mobility E-tuk-tuks are finding innovative applications tailored to local needs. In India, they are used as mobile retail stores to access remote rural communities. In Japan, e-tuk-tuks serve tourists at historic sites where gasoline vehicles are banned. Some cities like Paris and Lisbon are experimenting with designated e-tuk-tuk lanes and stations for last-mile connectivity. Amusement parks and university campuses deploy them as electric shuttles. Their versatility has led e-tuk-tuks to fulfill diverse roles from transporting goods to providing mobile health services. For example, in Sub-Saharan Africa, some non-profits utilize solar-powered e-tuk-tuks complete with medical supplies and tools to serve isolated villages. In disaster-hit areas, they can navigate congested streets to deliver urgent relief items when large vehicles are restricted. Such customized implementations point to the multiple ways e-tuk-tuks can fill transportation gaps. Powering the Local Economy A major economic upside of e-tuk-tuks is their ability to create green jobs and businesses at the grassroots level. In developing nations, they offer an affordable form of self-employment for drivers and small fleet operators. Their locally-sourced components and servicing needs help circulation of funds within domestic markets. Get more insights on Global Electric Tuk-Tuks

HIPAA Compliance Made Simple: A Step-by-Step Guide for Healthcare Providers

What is HIPAA Certification

HIPAA Certification in Sri lanka Before my evening presentation at Nabolagshager yesterday afternoon, May 8, 2017, Heidi Bjerkan asked me to visit her newest project, Vippa, in Oslo. I must say, this is one spectacular site, with breathtaking views over Hovedøya, Ekeberg, and the Oslo harbor (check out the photographs)! The Oslo Harbour Authority requested significant projects that may aid in the redevelopment of Vippetangen in Oslo, and thus, Project Vippa was born. Especially through our partnership during the Trondheim film festival Kosmorama in March (see http://www.edimentals.com/blog/?p=10184 and http://www.edimentals.com/blog/?p=10138 ), I got to know Heidi Bjerkan, who previously worked as head chef for the Norwegian royal household (slottet) and whose main project is the restaurant Credo. Right now, Credo is trying to make a comeback.

What are the  benefits of HIPAA  Certification

A HIPAA-compliant workforce is less likely to break the law or make mistakes that could lead to data breaches, therefore certifying that an organization's personnel complies with the regulations can have advantages similar to those mentioned above. Similar to this, obtaining workforce HIPAA certification shows that an organization takes reasonable precautions to follow HIPAA regulations in the case of an audit or inquiry by OCR.

HIPAA Implementation in Sweden it can benefit individual workers by supporting applications for promotions, cultivating patient trust, and improving prospects in the job market. But the knowledge that employees gain from a certification program can really make the biggest difference in their careers since it can help them avoid inadvertent infractions that could have serious repercussions.

The reasons behind inadvertent HIPAA violations may include ignorance, the taking of short cuts "to get the job done," or the acceptance of a noncompliant culture. Regardless of the cause, HIPAA infractions can lead to penalties that range from written warnings to loss of professional accreditation; these penalties can be avoided by using the knowledge gained from a certification program.

Cost Of HIPAA  Certification

HIPAA Cost in Thailand The most frequent errors made while budgeting for HIPAA are underestimating certification fees, ignoring the necessity and expense of continuing compliance, and failing to update budgets on a regular basis. The entrepreneurs then have a problem juggling the costs of HIPAA certification with other company concerns.

The costs can be prohibitive and include everything from pre-audit preparation to audit costs and post-audit upkeep. However, bear in mind that there are more advantages to obtaining a HIPAA certification than disadvantages to not complying.

In order to assist you properly manage your budget, this blog attempts to educate you on the exact costs related to HIPAA certification.

HIPAA Certification  Audit 

HIPAA Audit in Turkmenistan It can be unsettling to receive a communication from the Office of Civil Rights, regardless of whether you are a covered entity or a business associate. It's certainly not what you dream of to receive a call from the HIPAA enforcement authority, which is in charge of enforcing one of the strictest healthcare standards in existence.

However, what should you do in the unlikely event that you are chosen for a HIPAA audit? First of all, try not to panic. This tutorial explains how to get ready for a HIPAA compliance audit and what you need to do.

In a nutshell, if you are chosen for an audit, there isn't much of an option! Organizations are occasionally chosen by the OCR for audits aimed at verifying adherence to federal law. Please be aware that you will only have 10 days to reply to the OCR if you are chosen for an audit.

For instance, in 2019 a security breach forced Anthem Inc., one of the biggest health insurers in the US, to pay $16 million after the company failed a HIPAA compliance audit. And Anthem is only one of the numerous companies that have paid dearly for their mistakes with regard to HIPAA certification.

How to get HIPAA Certification Consultants ?

HIPAA Certification Consultants in United Kingdom is a crucial part of B2B  CERT compliance since it guarantees that companies that handle PHI follow the strict guidelines set forth by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). By lowering the possibility of breaches and associated legal ramifications, this accreditation shows a dedication to protecting patient privacy and data security. Organizations build credibility with clients and healthcare partners by obtaining HIPAA Certification, which validates their capacity to manage sensitive data appropriately. Adherence to HIPAA laws cultivates a climate of responsibility and openness, strengthening the integrity of healthcare data transfers and elevating the bar for moral behavior in the sector.

Indigenous History

Key Takeaways: I felt a strong connection to the use of plants & am interested in potentially following that up further in my creative concept, though I'm not quite sure what exactly I can do with this yet.

Yerrol (Rainforest Vine)

bittersweet revelation that this was what the area used to be -> it's become a beautiful urban area with cool development potential, but makes me realise just how much of the bush was destroyed for 'settlement' (i.e. colonisation)

concept of towrie (main hunting/resource area) is new to me but feel that it connects to the concept of placemaking in terms of the ideas that it's a specific place for ppl to come together -> Vanessa said during the site visit that it was almost a holiday destination for Indigenous ppl; reminds me of QUT Gardens Point's Dughuba ('The Gathering Place') where Cultural Bites is held every year

Useful Plants

reminds me of home (Sri Lanka) -> grandparents own a farm and live @ top of a rainforest mountain; parents know so much more about the names, properties & qualities of plants than I've ever known

different uses of plants is definitely something that I would like to know more about -> would also allow today's community to reconnect with nature/potentially even save lives (e.g. antihistamine properties)

Boats & Waterways

used river to cross to/from North to South & vice versa

had different types of canoes & rafts (all made of natural materials)

eventually competed in regattas with white settlers, but kept winning, so the colonisers made 2 separate leagues -> Indigenous ppl didn't want to compete against each other, though, so this tradition died out

lot of Indigenous jobs were also on boats -> 'saved' a lot of shipwrecks & got boats as rewards

Camps & Racism

nomadic Indigenous communities set up many camps in (now) North Shore area

all Aboriginals chased across Breakfast Creek during the evening in the 1850s (still remembered as a 'battle line' in Indigenous communities)

some Indigenous ppl began to retaliate, robbing white ppl passing through the area, resulting in further repercussions -> rioting, pillaging & attacking on both sides eventually caused most camps to be abandoned

This is the "ghandapana" (literally translating to "emitting odour") flower. My garden in Sri Lanka was full of these, which is what made me think of them as a plant that I feel an emotional connection to. They look so pretty, but they smell TERRIBLE!

I also have a spiritual connection to jasmine ("pichcha") flowers, because they are the most common offering in South Asian Buddhism :)

More than 6,500 migrant workers from India, Pakistan, Nepal, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka have died in Qatar since it won the right to host the World Cup 10 years ago, the Guardian can reveal.

The findings, compiled from government sources, mean an average of 12 migrant workers from these five south Asian nations have died each week since the night in December 2010 when the streets of Doha were filled with ecstatic crowds celebrating Qatar’s victory. [...]

Behind the statistics lie countless stories of devastated families who have been left without their main breadwinner, struggling to gain compensation and confused about the circumstances of their loved one’s death.

Ghal Singh Rai from Nepal paid nearly £1,000 in recruitment fees for his job as a cleaner in a camp for workers building the Education City World Cup stadium. Within a week of arriving, he killed himself.

Another worker, Mohammad Shahid Miah, from Bangladesh, was electrocuted in his worker accommodation after water came into contact with exposed electricity cables.

In India, the family of Madhu Bollapally have never understood how the healthy 43-year old died of “natural causes” while working in Qatar. His body was found lying on his dorm room floor. [...]

The committee organising the World Cup in Qatar, when asked about the deaths on stadium projects, said: “We deeply regret all of these tragedies and investigated each incident to ensure lessons were learned. We have always maintained transparency around this issue and dispute inaccurate claims around the number of workers who have died on our projects.”

In a statement, a spokesperson for Fifa, football’s world governing body, said it is fully committed to protecting the rights of workers on Fifa projects. “With the very stringent health and safety measures on site … the frequency of accidents on Fifa World Cup construction sites has been low when compared to other major construction projects around the world,” they said, without providing evidence.

 I don’t remember if I’ve ever done this before but I just want to make a post about my favourite bag company. It’s a company called Motherhouse. I’ll put my long write up under the cut but basically why I like them are for two reasons.

- They are all about sustainability and treating their workers ethically, in a part of the world where we often hear about workers being exploited (South Asia and Southeast Asia).

- Their bags are expensive, but very high quality. I have two and they are so nice and well crafted. Their goods may be the same price as luxury designer brands, but at least I know that my money is going into the materials, high quality craftsmanship, and to pay workers fairly.

(I have only gone to one of their physical store, and it seems like their online store that’s linked from the Japanese website is only in Japanese. However, the online store that’s linked on their Hong Kong website is in English, so maybe that is a more convenient place to shop for English speakers. But it looks like they currently don’t have as much infrastructure for sales outside of Asia. Their Japanese site does answer inquiries in English though, from what I’ve read. They have physical stores in Japan, Taiwan, Singapore, and Hong Kong.)

You’ll never believe how I ran into this company.

I was in a period of my life where I relapsed into Japanese boybands and was consuming some of the new content of my favourite boyband (NEWS). My favourite member was Kato Shigeaki. I am not caught up with Jpop at all so I don’t know what he’s doing now lol. (I just know there was drama with NEWS which I will not get into now.)

Anyway, Kato Shigeaki had been on a variety show in 2009, where he went to visit the Motherhouse headquarters in Bangladesh. In that episode, we were introduced to Yamaguchi Eriko, the founder, who explained her life experiences and her philosophies. We saw what their workplace was like, and we got to meet some of the workers. I just went into my hard drive and I was pleased to find out I still had that episode of the show lol. (Tell me if you want to watch the episode and I can....find a way to get it to you lmao.)

What struck me was how Yamaguchi approached this problem with a realistic solution. She wanted to help the people of Bangladesh, but just giving them money wasn’t a long term solution, and for some people, it may hurt their pride too. She felt that creating an industry was a better solution. Through jobs, people could take their financial situation into their own hands.

Yamaguchi was drawn to a strong fiber called jute that was used in Bangladesh, often used for packaging because it’s so strong. She thought about how this fiber could be used to make high quality handbags. Since then, Motherhouse has tapped into a lot of other local materials, including leather from Bangladesh (for bags and wallets), silk and cashmere form Nepal (for scarves), stones from Sri Lanka, Indonesia, and Myanmar (for jewellery), etc.

In the episode of the show, Yamaguchi had said that she’d been cheated and scammed, and yet she kept trying and trying again. But she’d also said that she’d made some trustworthy friends who helped her when she was down. And from the testimony I read on their websites, it really does seem like the company aims to create good relationships between the people working at the workshops.

I forgot where I read this, but they’re basically like “sustainability can only work if everybody is sustainable,” so by selling sustainable goods, they hope that other people can become sustainable too. The designs that they have are simple, and not really in line with any fast fashion trends. The bags that I have from them, bought years ago, are still up on their website.

They also have good customer service. I’ve only been to their Hong Kong stores, but if you ever bring your leather bag there, they will treat and clean the leather for you. Which is in line with their values of sustainability because they want your bag to last as long as possible. And apparently they have all sorts of bag repair services on their website.

TL;DR Their stuff is good and they treat people well and their boss is kind of a badass, and I think they are a company worthy of support v.v

Sri Lankan protestors are built different. 😂😂😂

[Video description: Facebook video showing a scene of complete chaos and screaming, suffused in clouds of tear gas. A young protestor in shorts with a backpack picks a smoking tear gas cannister off the ground and strides with it along a wall of iron bars, holding out the billowing stream of gas at the cops assembled on the other side. Someone behind the camera eggs him on in Sinhala. The kid places the emptied cannister under a hedge behind a cop in riot gear and runs. The camera pans back to see the canninister thrown high into the air, sailing into a clump of trees in the park beyond./VD]

Hey, just in case people who already have been having a bad time with this meme are retriggered by Francesca Scorcese's TikTok – Goncharov is fake. It doesn't exist. [Edited for further clarity] That is really Martin Scorsese's daughter, that's her real TikTok account, and presumably that is really her father in the chat screenshot she posted. Francesca saw the piece in the NY Times talking about how Tumblr made up a fake movie, sent her Dad the link and asked "Did you see this?" Martin joked back "yes I made that movie years ago." That's all it was, Martin Scorsese himself playing along with our silliness.

PLEASE reblog this and DO NOT TAG IT UNREALITY. "Unreality" is for posts that are keeping up the bit, but info posts, reality-affirming posts and ones talking about the meme as a meme are solidly real. We really haven't been doing a good enough job tagging this properly and protecting neurodivergent people from being gaslit and traumatized. I've seen way too many people saying they nearly had a breakdown because of being lied to. We never meant to hurt you, and I'm so sorry people were jackasses when you wanted to know the truth.

Edit: I love everybody reblogging this, but a handful of idiots have been clowning on this post so here's an explainer about how site-wide disinformation can trigger psychosis. Please go in the replies and notes, they have a lot of interesting insights, by everyone from non-psychotic autistic people with gaslighting trauma to DID systems. You can go through the notes on this post as well.

There's absolutely no reason to be ashamed of loving and enjoying this meme, or to feel bad about not tagging things properly when you didn't know how. And PLEASE don't harass, dogpile or shame people for failing to tag properly or choosing not to. You're just giving people anxiety and policing them. Do what you can how you can, be kind, and don't tell other people their business. That is more than enough.❤️

US plans to require COVID-19 shots for foreign travelers (AP) The Biden administration is taking the first steps toward requiring nearly all foreign visitors to the U.S. to be vaccinated for the coronavirus, a White House official said. The requirement would come as part of the administration’s phased approach to easing travel restrictions for foreign citizens to the country. No timeline has yet been determined, as interagency working groups study how and when to safely move toward resuming normal travel. Eventually all foreign citizens entering the country, with some limited exceptions, are expected to need to be vaccinated against COVID-19 to enter the U.S.

Big tech companies are at war with employees over remote work (Ars Technica) All across the United States, the leaders at large tech companies like Apple, Google, and Facebook are engaged in a delicate dance with thousands of employees who have recently become convinced that physically commuting to an office every day is an empty and unacceptable demand from their employers. The COVID-19 pandemic forced these companies to operate with mostly remote workforces for months straight. And since many of them are based in areas with relatively high vaccination rates, the calls to return to the physical office began to sound over the summer. But thousands of high-paid workers at these companies aren’t having it. Many of them don’t want to go back to the office full time, even if they’re willing to do so a few days a week. Workers are even pointing to how effective they were when fully remote and using that to question why they have to keep living in the expensive cities where these offices are located. Some tech leaders (like Twitter’s Jack Dorsey) agreed, or at least they saw the writing on the wall. They enacted permanent or semipermanent changes to their companies’ policies to make partial or even full-time remote work the norm. Others (like Apple’s Tim Cook) are working hard to find a way to get everyone back in their assigned seats as soon as is practical, despite organized resistance. In either case, the work cultures at tech companies that make everything from the iPhone to Google search are facing a major wave of transformation.

At least 10 dead as van carrying migrants crashes in Texas (AP) An overloaded van carrying 29 migrants crashed Wednesday on a remote South Texas highway, killing at least 10 people, including the driver, and injuring 20 others, authorities said. The crash happened shortly after 4 p.m. Wednesday on U.S. 281 in Encino, Texas, about 50 miles (80 kilometers) north of McAllen. A surge in migrants crossing the border illegally has brought about an uptick in the number of crashes involving vehicles jammed with migrants who pay large amounts to be smuggled into the country. The Dallas Morning News has reported that the recruitment of young drivers for the smuggling runs, combined with excessive speed and reckless driving by those youths, have led to horrific crashes.

Turkish wildfires are worst ever, Erdogan says, as power plant breached (Reuters) Turkey is battling the worst wildfires in its history, President Tayyip Erdogan said on Wednesday, as fires spread to a power station in the country’s southwest after reducing swathes of coastal forest to ashes. Fanned by high temperatures and a strong, dry wind, the fires have forced thousands of Turks and foreign tourists to flee homes and hotels near the Aegean and Mediterranean coasts. Eight people have died in the blazes since last week. Planes and dozens of helicopters have joined scores of emergency crews on the ground to battle the fires, but Erdogan’s government has faced criticism over the scale and speed of the response. In the last two weeks, fires in Turkey have burnt more than three times the area affected in an average year, a European fire agency said. Neighbouring countries have also battled blazes fanned by heatwaves and strong winds.

Sri Lanka’s financial problems (Foreign Policy) Sri Lanka is threatening to become South Asia’s economic weak link. It’s mired in a severe debt crisis, and its budget deficit exceeded 11 percent of GDP during the last fiscal year, which ended in March. The country’s foreign reserves can only pay for three months of imports, prompting Colombo to cut back on many foreign imports, including turmeric, a staple product. Fitch Ratings has warned default is a real possibility. Sri Lanka’s woes stem in great part from a floundering tourism sector. Tourism typically accounts for at least 5 percent of GDP, and some estimates even put the figure at 12.5 percent. The sector’s troubles began before the coronavirus pandemic, when suicide bombers killed at least 290 people in churches and hotels in April 2019, keeping visitors away. But the pandemic still dealt a giant blow. A 2021 assessment found tourist arrivals between January and April fell nearly 100 percent from the same period in 2020.

Australia to spend $813M to address Indigenous disadvantage (AP) Australia’s government on Thursday pledged 1.1 billion Australian dollars ($813 million) to address Indigenous disadvantage, including compensation to thousands of mixed-race children who were taken from their families over decades. The AU$378.6 million ($279.7 million) to be used to compensate the so-called Stolen Generations by 2026 is the most expensive component of the package aimed at boosting Indigenous living standards in Australia. Prime Minister Scott Morrison said the compensation was a recognition of the harm caused by forced removal of children from families.

Israel launches airstrikes on Lebanon in response to rockets (AP) Israel on Thursday escalated its response to rocket attacks this week by launching rare airstrikes on Lebanon, the army said. The army said in a statement that jets struck the launch sites from which rockets had been fired over the previous day, as well as an additional target used to attack Israel in the past. The IDF blamed the state of Lebanon for the shelling and warned “against further attempts to harm Israeli civilians and Israel’s sovereignty.” The overnight airstrikes were a marked escalation at a politically sensitive time. Israel’s new eight-party governing coalition is trying to keep peace under a fragile cease fire that ended an 11-day war with Hamas’ militant rulers in Gaza in May.

‘Winning a medal doesn’t make him Jewish’ (Washington Post) When gymnast Artem Dolgopyat stepped off the podium as only the second Israeli to win an Olympic gold medal, he triggered one of Israel’s many cultural tripwires: It quickly emerged that the country’s newest sports hero is banned from marrying his fiancee here because he is not considered Jewish enough by the rabbis who control Israel’s marriage law. Immediately after Dolgopyat took top honors in the men’s floor exercise, his mother took the chance to complain that Israeli religious law is keeping her engaged 24-year-old son from tying the knot because only his father’s side of the family is Jewish. Marriage law is tightly controlled by Israel’s Chief Rabbinate. And for generations, couples who are of mixed religions—or who are atheists, gay or inadequately Jewish—have been forced to marry outside the country. Dolgopyat’s training schedule has made that impossible, said his mother, Angela Bilan. “I want grandchildren,” Bilan said Sunday in an interview with Israeli radio.

Talking to strangers (Atlantic) A hefty body of research has found that an overwhelmingly strong predictor of happiness and well-being is the quality of a person’s social relationships. But most of those studies have looked at only close ties: family, friends, co-workers. In the past decade and a half, professors have begun to wonder if interacting with strangers could be good for us too: not as a replacement for close relationships, but as a complement to them. The results of that research have been striking. Again and again, studies have shown that talking with strangers can make us happier, more connected to our communities, mentally sharper, healthier, less lonely, and more trustful and optimistic.

But tanks make such handy snowplows... (BBC) A German retiree was fined nearly $300,000 by local authorities on Tuesday following the discovery of a World War-II era tank in his basement along with other items of the period, including a flak cannon and multiple machine guns. The Panther tank was removed from the man’s property in 2015, a job that took 20 soldiers almost nine hours to complete. The unnamed 84-year-old might have been able to hold on to his tank and the rest of his collection—which must now be donated to a museum within two years, according to Tuesday’s ruling—had he kept it a better secret. “He was chugging around in that thing during the snow catastrophe in 1978,” Heikendorf Mayor Alexander Orth told reporters.

closed starter for asher / @imnoangxl​​ based on this. 

returning home from a dig site all the way in sri lanka, the first thing leia did was have a taxie take her to asher’s house. even though it was close to midnight, it was a little tradition they had: first thing leia would do as soon as she landed home, even before going to her own place, she would go see asher, no matter what. as soon as the car pulled over, leia suddenly felt all the exhaustion from her long journey leave her and be replaced by pure excitement to see him. asher was probably the person she missed the most while she would be wandering around the world for her job. even if she talked to him every chance she could sieze, being apart from her childhood best friend for lengthy stretches at a time left her feeling as if she were missing an essential part of herself; and seeing him again was like becoming complete once more. she knocked on his door and waited for him to answer. as soon as the door opened, she greeted her friend with a wide grin. “guess who’s back a week early!” she wasted no time in throwing her arms around him and pulling him into a hug.

Customize T-Shirts Sri Lanka

There really is no great mystery with regards to buying t-shirts at wholesale prices. It is also worth bearing in mind that the companies manufacturing, importing, or stocking large numbers of t-shirts do actually want to sell them, it’s simply a matter of finding one that considers it worthwhile selling this merchandise at the volume you require.

Up and down the supply chain

You need to enter the supply chain at the right level: too high and they won’t supply you. This is not because they are unhelpful, but because it’s not worth their while to split open a box and sell single t-shirts, they sell boxes of them (they are actually in the “selling boxes of stuff” business). Too low and you will be paying a premium for t-shirts you could have got for less.

It is easier to go to the top of the supply chain and work your way down than it is to start at the bottom and work your way up. Here’s an example: you need some t-shirts for an event or a printing job, maybe 19, in the same style, same color, and different sizes. You go to the yellow pages and look for t-shirt suppliers, no luck; you find a t-shirt printer and Sri Lanka Clothing Store  give them a call. They don’t have the t-shirts in stock but can order them and have them to you by the end of the week. If this is your one-and-only ever t-shirt order, then this particular route is going to be straight forward – you pay a premium and get the t-shirts.

But if you expect to buy more t-shirts in the future you can look at it this way; they didn’t have them in stock and have made a special order, maybe they ordered extra to make up the numbers, maybe they didn’t. The chances are you could have ordered them yourself from the company that is supplying them. Now try asking them who their supplier is. If they are smart they will offer you an unbranded catalogue (from their supplier) with their own company name stamped on it and a price list. If they are really smart they will offer you a discount on any t-shirts you buy plus a special deal on printing.

They are unlikely to simply hand over the details of their wholesale supplier to you, and this doesn’t seem unreasonable. You are at best a customer that simply wants to save some money and at worst, an emerging competitor.

Wholesale t-shirts the easy way

This is how I found my supplier. It may not seem the most logical, but it was the most effective at finding a supplier at my level and I encountered virtually no resistance. You start at the top of the supply chain and work your way down.

When you think of big t-shirt names who do you think of… Fruit of the Loom, Hanes, Gildan, Anvil, Screen Stars?

I decided on Fruit of the Loom, and went to their website, looking for wholesale information -- nothing there. Their site (not surprisingly) is retail focused, they sell most of their merchandise through retail outlets, with nothing printed on them. (But you’ve seen people wearing printed Fruit of the Loom t-shirts haven’t you, of course you have, so have I). The people there were extremely helpful and gave me the UK number, which I phoned. I explained the kind of numbers I was looking for but they couldn’t help me because they only sold boxes (72 pieces in each box, one size, one color) and sold a minimum of 1,000 pieces (gulp!).

They gave me the number of someone they supplied, I called them. Now, they sold only single boxes, this was still more than I needed. They gave me the number of another company whom I called.

Now, this company sells single t-shirts, with volume discounts, has no minimum order and sent me an awesome catalogue with a huge range of ready to print apparel (not just t-shirts), from several different brands including Gildan.

I have ordered from this particular company several times and have been very happy with the price and the service.

With a small amount of research and a few phone calls you can find your ideal t-shirt wholesaler. It pays to start at the top and work your way down. Companies really have no reason to be unhelpful as they are forwarding your business on to someone they supply, and you get the quantities you want at a fair price.

Channel

Secondly, you need to have a channel to communicate with your audience about your travel experience. This channel is either a website or a blog. There are various blogs where you can create your own profile for free. If you want to monetize your site, I recommend you to buy a domain and a host and start your own website. It is crucial to growing your audience and building your personal brand. You can create a logo. Then put a friendly name to the site. This will create an identity. Your audience will identify you through this brand identity you design and develop.

Monetizing

The fifth point is, install Google AdSense to your website. If you prefer any other source of income, you may do so. But keep in mind, if you are using AdSense, you need to adhere to AdSense policies.

Search Engine Optimization (SEO)

The sixth point is that you need to optimize your articles to rank high in the search results in search engines. Google, for example. This called search engine optimization (SEO) in short. In doing SEO, always follow the google policies where it will allow only white hat SEO techniques. Widely SEO can be on-page and off-page. On-page SEO is you optimize your articles for google to recognize by keywords. Off-page SEO basically means how influential your website is to external parties (ex: other sites). Sri Lankan Tuk Tuks
