From Sri Lanka to the Stars: Meet Caltech’s Next President, Dr. Ray Jayawardhana
From Sri Lanka to the Stars: Meet Caltech’s Next President, Dr. Ray Jayawardhana The scientific world is buzzing with the news that Dr. Ray Jayawardhana, currently the Provost of Johns Hopkins University, has been named the next President of Caltech. On July 1, he will step into one of the most prestigious roles in global academia, leading the institution that manages NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL). Roots & Lineage: A Childhood Spark Born and raised in Sri Lanka, Ray’s journey began not in a high-tech lab, but under the vast night skies of his island home.

Why Colombo Stock Market Was Held Today ?
Today, Wednesday, January 7, 2026 , the Colombo Stock Exchange (CSE) experienced a major disruption that led to a market halt and the eventual cancellation of all morning trades. What Happened? The trading was halted shortly after the market opened (around 9:53 a.m.) due to a technical error involving the newly listed company, WealthTrust Securities Limited. In simple terms, an "error trade" occurred where shares were accidentally traded at a wildly incorrect price. Specifically: The company was supposed to trade around its IPO price of Rs. 7.00. Instead, a trade was executed at a staggering Rs. 25,000 per share. This caused the market's total "turnover" (the total value of all trades) to jump to a fake high of over Rs. 162 billion in just minutes. Why was it "Halted"? The CSE has "circuit breakers" and monitoring systems to protect investors. When the system detected these "irregular prices," it hit the emergency brakes to prevent ...
One Currency Two Mirrors ?
[Verse 1] Does the coin change its nature by the hand that holds it? We trade in equal gold, yet judge the palm it rests upon. Why is the pauper’s pittance seen as stained, While the wealthy man’s silver is polished by praise? [Chorus] The value of the coin is fixed, Yet the value of the soul is what we vary. Why do we play this cruel, And shifting game? [Verse 2] Does the bread taste sweeter on a silver plate? Or does the hunger vanish if the room is grand? We measure a man by the weight of his gate, Yet forget the labor of the calloused hand. The silence of the poor is taken for shame, While the noise of the rich is taken for wit. [Bridge] If we are all but wanderers through this brief life, How can the price of our bread be weighed by our status? [Chorus] The value of the coin is fixed, Yet the value of the soul is what we vary. Why do we play this cruel, And shifting game? [Outro] One cur...
Facebook Content Monetization 2026: Sri Lanka Guide to Eligibility, TIN & Bank Setup
It can be incredibly frustrating to see high traffic and engagement on your Facebook page without seeing a cent in return. In 2026, Facebook (Meta) has moved toward a more automated, unified system called the Content Monetization Program , which merges in-stream ads, Reels ads, and Performance Bonuses. However, "high views" do not always equal automatic activation. Here is a detailed report on how to trigger monetization and the hidden reasons why Facebook may be withholding it. 1. How to Trigger/Activate Monetization Monetization is rarely "automatic" in the sense that money just starts appearing; you usually must pass a threshold and then manually set up a Payout Account . The Eligibility Checklist (2026 Standards) To trigger the activation button in your Meta Business Suite , you must meet these specific minimums: Followers: Minimum 5,000 to 10,000 (depending on the specific program tier).
