JD Vance delivers the biggest blow to Netanyahu's plan. 🔥

🇺🇸 JD Vance: "If the Iranian people want to rise up and change their government, that's up to them.

But we're not going to send 150,000 ground troops in order to accomplish regime change."

Now they've realized they can't defeat Iran's military.

Shocked by the recent comments from an SJB member on the Appeal Court verdict involving the Daya Group. Suggesting it's a government plot to harm businesses is disappointing. Hats off to @ShanakiyanR for raising this years ago. Same old politics, just new faces I guess.

. @GotabayaR’s private secretary Sugeeswara Bandara was made DG, Special Projects, by @RW_SRILANKA. He faces allegations of using Rs. 220m in state funds for SLPP work, drawing 2 salaries (>Rs. 8m), and drawing petrol worth Rs. 18.68m during height of Sri Lanka’s economic crisis

[Harsha de Silva @HarshadeSilvaMP]

Who bears responsibility for a Rs. 13.2 billion systemic failure?

At our recent COPF session, we questioned officials over the massive internal banking fraud. When a multi-billion rupee vulnerability goes completely undetected for over 18 months, it is a catastrophic failure of institutional governance.

Safeguarding public trust means demanding answers on where internal checks failed. We cannot let structural blind spots slide.

Iran condemned the US attacks on our vessels that killed three INDIAN sailors.

If he is innocent, Salley must stay strong and fight his case.

That’s what we did. We prayed, exercised, read, met our lawyers and fought our cases. Salley who detained us knows that the conditions for us were worse than what it is for him.

Colombo skyline puts chennai to shame .View from Colombo-7 of downtown . Colombo has a good blend of high rises and traditional homes , something chennai can learn from on FSI. Besides that huge business opportunity between TN and Srilanka that is untapped and left for China to grab

Corporate life will teach you that knowing the job is only half the battle.

The real skill is staying calm in meetings, reading the room, managing ego, receiving vague feedback, and not replying emails with your real thoughts.

I wish to clarify recent media speculation regarding my position as Governor.

Some time ago, I conveyed to His Excellency the President my desire to step down
from the role, given the increasing challenge of balancing the responsibilities of
public office as Governor, the additional responsibilities of serving as His
Excellency’s Special Envoy for Foreign Direct Investment, and my family obligations.

It has been a privilege to serve in public office and to contribute, in whatever way I
can, to the progress of our nation.

At the request of His Excellency, I will continue to serve as Governor until a suitable
successor is identified, in order to ensure a smooth and orderly transition.

Thereafter, I would be honoured to continue serving in my existing voluntary
honorary capacity as Special Envoy to the President for Foreign Direct Investment,
supporting His Excellency’s vision by leveraging my relationships and international
networks to help attract investment and contribute to Sri Lanka’s national
development.

My commitment to serving our nation remains unwavering, and I remain deeply
appreciative of the confidence and trust placed in me by His Excellency the
President.

[Dr Tariq Tramboo @tariqtramboo]

"Iran taught us trigonometry 1000 years ago, and Christopher Columbus discovered America 534 years ago."

You’ve seen this in every math class:

sin(a ± b) = sin a cos b ± cos a sin b
sin(2a) = 2 sin a cos a
cos(2a) = 1 − 2 sin²(a)

🚨But did your teacher ever tell you that these formulae came from a Muslim Persian scholar 1000 years ago?

When I got to Narahenpita Railway Station to catch the 6:06 evening train, I noticed an unusually long queue and got curious about what was going on. That’s when I saw the scene the line was for train tickets.

Usually, it’s just those simple cardboard tickets, but today it was a printed slip with a QR code on it. 🙄 A small change, but honestly, a pretty interesting one.

After getting my ticket to Pagiriwatta and heading towards the platform, there was someone scanning everyone’s ticket before entry. Looks like train ticketing is finally starting to go digital. 😌

Even though it was the very first day, things seemed to run surprisingly well. Of course, there were a few minor hiccups here and there, especially during ticket issuing, but those will probably get sorted out with time.

Hopefully, the day isn’t too far when we can simply tap a top-up card and hop on without needing a paper ticket at all. ❤️

Small steps like these show what real progress looks like not flashy things, but practical changes that make everyday life easier.

Copied.

✨You’ve seen this in every math class:

sin(a ± b) = sin a cos b ± cos a sin b
sin(2a) = 2 sin a cos a

Meet Abū al-Wafā al-Būzjānī, the genius who shaped Trigonometry. 📐

Abū al-Wafā Būzhjānī (d. 998) was a Persian Muslim mathematician and astronomer from Khorasan. Born in Būzjān (near Nishapur, Iran), Būzhjānī showed early brilliance in mathematics and geometry.

He later moved to Baghdad, then the heart of the Islamic Golden Age, a city of scholars, libraries, and observatories.

In Baghdad, he became one of the leading scientists of the House of Wisdom (Bayt al-Ḥikmah). Here, he studied Greek works like Euclid and Ptolemy, and expanded them far beyond their original limits.

📐 His Contributions to Mathematics:

He established several trigonometric identities such as [sin(a±b)] in their modern form:

{sin(α ± β)= Sinα Cosβ ± Cosα Sinβ}
{sin(a + b) = Sin(a)Cos(b) + Cos(a)Sin(b)}
{Cos(2a) = 1-2sin²(a)}
{Sin(2a) = 2Sin(a) Cos(a)}

He compiled tables of sines and tangents at 15° intervals, introduced secant and cosecant, and explored the relationships between all six trigonometric lines. His work made both mathematics and astronomy quantitatively precise.

He also studied geometry, arithmetic, and number theory, writing detailed commentaries on al-Khwārizmī and Diophantus.

Some sources suggest that he introduced the tangent function, although other sources give the credit for this innovation to al-Marwazi.

🌌 His Work in Astronomy:

Abū al-Wafā designed and built a wall quadrant, a large, fixed instrument used to measure celestial altitudes with remarkable accuracy.

This invention influenced later observatories across the Islamic world.

His masterpiece, Kitāb al-Majisṭī (“The Almagest”), improved upon Ptolemy’s astronomy, described planetary motion, and developed mathematical methods for finding the Qibla direction, the direction of prayer. 🕌

In 997, he participated in an experiment to determine the difference in local time between his location, Baghdad, and that of al-Biruni (who was living in Kath, Uzbekistan).

Their result was astonishingly accurate, within about 1 hour of modern calculations. ⏱️

🚨 RESPECT FOR MUTTIAH MURALITHARAN 🚨

- Finally, someone spoke up for the bowlers.
- He Said, They are making flat pitches because low scores are boring for sponsors.
- Even I will also struggle on these heavily batting-friendly pitches.
- Almost every IPL pitch feels like a batting paradise.
- No one usually raises this issue.
- It’s good to see MUTTIAH MURALITHARAN raise his voice on this.🙌🫡
