Minimising the threat of landslides

We are all too familiar with the death and destruction caused by landslides in different parts of the country over the last few months. The National Building Research Organisation (NBRO) has now started a project to identify areas prone to landslides in Walapane and Hanguranketha. Accordingly, areas such as Mahawewa, Pussalapitiya, Ritiyala, Narampathana and Elamulla in Walapane and Hanguranketha have been identified as high risk areas for landslides.

Unspoken Words!

Human being is in constant need of appreciation and expression of love. This may not mean to burden yourself with how to do it but probably your little acts of kindness can best convey that you understand your beloved……-three little words but with very strong and deep meanings attached to it. A research reveals that saying the three magic words twice a day to your partner helps you maintain a healthy relationship with him. But do we really do that? In our daily course of life we often forget to tell him how special and important he is. Every human being is in constant need of appreciation and expression of love. This may not mean to burden yourself with how to do it but probably your little acts of kindness can best convey that you understand your husband. To put it in Ronan Keating’s words, “You say it best… when you say nothing at all.” This can make relationship work better with deeper love and sense of togetherness.
Here are some exciting tokens of devotions which require no shopping at all!

Give him space
Don’t be pushy! Men need some time for themselves so that they can indulge in the environment of home. The whole day at work is enough to exhaust them, not to forget the traffic of the city. It’s your job to give him relaxation. If you have a lot of questions for him, just hold them for the moment. Don’t start inquiring about why is he late? What did he eat for lunch? Why didn’t he pick up your call? This can be really infuriating. Welcome him with a smile, let him breathe for a while and try to have short and sweet conversations. Don’t worry, your questions can wait for the later hours of the night.
Give him your ear Who doesn’t want some extra attention in this world? Trust me, men are more sensitive towards it. So when your man is sharing something, irrespective how unimportant it is, forget whatever chore you are doing and listen to him. Men feel ignored when you talk to them while doing some other work. Sometimes it may include how evil his boss is or what new projects he is working on; you may not understand any of his professional terms but still try to show interest. Just remember, his little conversations will make him feel close to you and there will be a strong connection between the two of you.

Give him guy time
You maybe the best friend of your husband but still one day or the other he will miss the time he spent with his friends. They usually drift apart from a lot of their male friends after marriage but they still like to hang out and have fun. You can arrange small hang out plans with some of his close friends or your own family. It is not advised to go out everyday but once a week or fortnight will do the job as well.
Give him what he wants Every wife knows what his husband wants so try to fulfill his demands before time. You can set his closet before it gets messier, give him a cup of tea when he is tired or present him with something he really needs at that time of life. If he usually picks up the groceries but is under work stress so volunteer to take over the job for him. Your thoughtful gestures will touch him and he will feel that you have been watching him. In short, he will know that you care! This will help him forget half of his worries - that’s the power of love.

Give him your admiration
Not only women but men love admiration too. Praise them whenever and wherever necessary. The appreciation coming from you gives him extra confidence. Focus on the compliment as well. For instance, if he gets a promotion, instead of saying, “Great, we can use the extra money,” say, “Wow! they finally see how hard you’ve been working.” Your man’s self-esteem is very important, so give him some extra hero worship.

Give him his adulthood
There is a child in every man and he would love the care coming from you. You can lecture him about his eating habits but don’t - and I repeat don’t - force him to take care of himself, drive more carefully or work out his relationship with his parents or likes. Too much input makes him feel guilty and harped on and he will probably back fire. Stop trying to control all his acts and let him learn from his mistakes. Help him stand on his feet again and be there when he needs you. Be more of a partner than a mother to him. This way he will have his dignity intact and will value you more for being there in his darker times.

Give him his dreams
Listen to his dreams and realise them. A man may share the wildest of his dreams with you but don’t let him down by communicating your negative attitude. No matter you agree with his ideas or not just don’t laugh at it. His thoughts might be connected to a brighter and better future for both of you with a larger than life outlook. Of course he is going to realise his silly thoughts one day or the other so don’t worry about that. Back him on his absurd views and he will honour your patience and love. Don’t you want the same amount of care and reverence from his side? He is sure going to give you that!

The charge of the light brigade (Alfed Lord Tennyson)

Alfred Lord Tennyson, a great poetic artist, as he was called in “Pictorial Presentation” he was close to keats, having “a command of the musical resources of language” Tennyson seems to be on a high level of poetic excellence “in rank among English poets” THE LOTUS EATERS THE DREAM OF FAIR WOMEN, ULYSES, IN MEMORIAM, are some of his exquisite poetry. Tennyson’s desire to bring before his reader, the vigour, loyalty, bravery and courage of the soldiers marching forward irrespective of the danger ahead. The real battle fought in 1854. Tennyson’s diction style remains unparalleled as he expresses the onward march of the Light Brigade, regardless of their own fate. The lines of the poem are in “dactylic dimetre” the first four lines of the eight lines in the first verse with a rather slow motion and fifth and sixth lines with the command.

“For ward the Light Brigade

Charge for the guns” he said’

The courage, quickness stability and loyalty of the soldiers, exquisitely brought forth

“Into the valley of Death….” reference made to a legend and the emphasis laid in a brilliant manner through repetition significance of the monsterous state of war “mouth of Hell”, “Jaws of Death” highlight the danger ahead… Comparing to “jaws and mouth” of some extremely dangerous animal, a monster waiting to gulp down the human beings the brave soldiers. The effective words of the commander

“Forward the Light Brigade

Charge for the guns’, he said.

Highlighting the complete obedience of the soldiers

In the second verse a bit of criticism in disciplining and training of the soldiers is emphasised.

“Their’s not to make reply

Their’s not to reason why

Their’s but to do and die

Into the valley of Death

Rode the six hundred”

In verses three and five the strength of the enemy is clearly highlighted.

“The cannons” volleyed and thundered stormed at with shot and shell”

The extremely monsterous and hellish situation created with the contrasting image of the brave soldiers marching forward.

“Stormed at with shot and shell

Boldly they rode and well”

Stressing the obedience of the soldiers and the danger surrounding the troop.

The last line of the forth verse brings before the reader the pathetic end of the soldiers.

“Reel’d from the sabre-stroke

shattered and sunder’d,”

The miserable state of the soldiers who strictly obeyed the commands. In verse four

“Flashed all their sabres bare flash’d as they turned in air”

Sabring the gunners there”

The quick and immediate movements of the troop is clearly highlighted. There’s abit of ironly regarding the bravery and strength of the troop.

“Boldly they rode and well into the jaws of Death” The pathetic state, the utter destruction and failure of the brigade is emphasised in the last line of the fifth verse.

“All that was left of them,

Left of six hundred”

The last verse is actually an eulogy paying respect, honour and highlighting the soldiers” “undaunted courage” and the poet lavishly calls the soldiers NOBLE SIX HUNDRED. Tennyson presumes that they had but “to do and die”

The charge of the Light Brigade shines as a good piece of “drematic poetry”

The stanza form adopted by Tennyson for his poem” THE CHARGE OF THE LIGHT BRIGADE’ is appealing and full of life. Simple and direct language style is superb and distinctive. The poet’s wording is creative and effective

“Cannon to right of them,

Cannon to left of them,

Cannon in front of them,

Volley’s and thunder’d.”

The horrendous situation created for the soldiers destined to “DO AND DIE” is emphasised by the poet using repetition. The poet has used dactylic dimetre suggesting the dangerous march the soldiers are engaged in marching towards “the valley of death”.

The rhyming scheme, emphasising the effect of the poetic sequence created by the poet. Trony, highlighting the actual situation. “the wild charge they made”. The repetition of the word “CANNON” creating the disaster ahead. The last four lines of the last verse.

“All the world wonder’d

Honour the charge they made!

Honour the Light Brigade,

Noble six hundred”

‘NOBLE SIX HUNDRED’ the last line is in a sophisticated fashion highlighting the end of the NOBLESIX HUNDRED, though the poet seems to be rather ironical about the task the solkiers had to perform “Boldly they rode and well, into the jaws of Death”. The poet, thouth reluctantly, assumes that the end of the Light Brigade was extremely pathetic.

Rain means water

Rain is like a god at one time and a murderer at another. Rain is closely linked to our daily activities in many ways. Mostly, rain is necessary for cultivation processes. Rain means water, and water is a basic need of all the creatures.

Everything on Earth, humans, beasts, even plants depend on it. Without rain, the whole world will change into one massive desert. Let’s look at the positive efects of rain and how it affects our lives.

Rain is created as a result of vapourization. There are many types of rainfall. Scientists have revealed how all the forests in the world and the animals living in them are totally dependent on rain. Without rain, all the rainforests in the world will be destroyed. It will be very harmful for the future of mankind.

In the 21st century, the scarcity of rain has led to hazards such as global warming droughts and desertification. Most often, careless human activities are the reasons for the shortage of rain.

Clearing of forest land for development, felling of trees, burning forests and environmental pollution are some of the major causes that have affected the patterns of rainfall in the world.

In Sri Lanka also, we can see the unusual activities caused due to changes in the weather patterns. But the government seems to be unable to take much action against those contributing to the changes in rainfall.

As the younger generation who are to inherit the future of our country, let’s get together and avert these disasters. Let’s prevent all activities that affect the rainfall in our country to whatever way we could.
