Barometer confirms window for political settlement
Once again, Sri Lanka is at a crossroads. After decades of missed opportunities and delayed reforms, the conditions are there for a lasting political resolution of the ethnic conflict. The NPP government has the chance to resolve the country’s longest and most divisive conflict through Sri Lankan institutions, on its own terms. The government holds a two-thirds majority in parliament that allows it to amend the constitution and introduce the reforms that past governments promised but failed to deliver. It came to power on the back of a popular demand for system change, and the public expectation that followed that election was not for minor adjustments but for a deep restructuring of the state. The opposition is neither strong nor dominated by the racist and extremist voices that in the past sabotaged every attempt at reconciliation.

How to avoid falls
Falls are one of the most common threats to the health and independence of older adults. They can turn an ordinary day into a frightening experience with painful consequences that go far beyond bruises. A fall can lead to broken bones, a long hospital stay and the loss of confidence needed to move about freely. The good news is that many falls are not a part of normal ageing and simple measures can greatly reduce the risk.
