This is the Airbnb place I stayed during my visit to Caltech and JPL. The host was very nice and the place was located in a beautiful mountain range in Eaton. Please help if possible:

I don’t know the full story here, but as a woman, I’m grateful to this lady for going to the authorities because it gives other women the courage to do the same. From what I see, the CID has already identified the suspects, and I’m genuinely impressed. A few months ago, when I went to The Bureau for the Prevention of Abuse of Children & Women to report a case of online abuse, they were kind but utterly clueless about handling such cases. After hours of repeating my story to multiple female officers, I was finally told by a male officer that my only option was legal action because they had no provisions to act. This progress feels like a step forward. Maybe not all hope is lost for women after all.

Congratulations to @Dr_HariniA for becoming Sri Lanka’s Prime Minister - the 3rd woman to fill the position. As a PhD-holder, a civil society actor, and now PM, Dr Amarasuriya is an important example for women’s leadership in 🇱🇰. Looking forward to deepening 🇦🇺🇱🇰 ties.

Political earthquake in Sri Lanka 🇱🇰.

The left wing candidate Anura Kumara Dissanayake was elected President of Sri Lanka this weekend. This is the first time since independence that the Sri Lankan people elect a party and a candidate from outside the traditional elite. Dissanayaka or AKD as he is affectionately called comes from very humble upbringings in the Anuradhapura district. His party or coalition have never in the past been close to power.

The result is a testimony to the pain underprivileged Sri Lankans have felt during the economic crisis. There is widespread sympathy for AKDs fight against corruption and his call for more welfare for the people.

The weakness of the election winner is that his coalition has very little experience running a complicated state like Sri Lanka. They will also struggle to implement their many promises in a most challenging economic environment. They may struggle to achieve majority in the parliament.

This election is certain to raise eyebrows in many foreign capitals. Diplomats should think twice. AKD has reached out to India, China and the West during his campaign. We should all reciprocate and help him become a successful leader. A more prosperous, peaceful and greener Sri Lanka is in everyone´s interest. AKD deserves help on that journey.

This election was also the first in a long time were chauvinism and ethnic extremism played no role during the campaign.

Many western nations can learn from the peacefulness of the election and the grace the main losing candidates Sajith Premadasa and Ranil Wickremesinghe showed towards the winner.

Ranil Wickremesinghe will go into history as the man who restored normalcy to Sri Lanka in the midst of the all time economic meltdown. Hardly any leader in world history has been reelected on the basis of implementing an IMF program. We will see more to Ranil.

@USAmbSL @anuradisanayake It is very important to strengthen this relationship. Entrepreneural aspirations of NPP offer huge opportunities for a strong collaboration between US and Sri Lanka.
