Construction work of the second phase of the Central Expressway from Mirigama to Kurunegala is expected to be ready for public use by November 15, says Minister of Highways Johnston Fernando. Blaming the previous government for the delay, Minister Fernando said that the construction was to be completed 10 months ago, yet it was delayed as the Yahapalanaya government wanted to give the contract to their acquaintances and companies owned by their Ministers. Our only aim is to take this country forward during the tenure of President Gotabaya Rajapaksa,” the Minister further remarked. These remarks from Fernando came during a tree planting event along the Central Expressway from Mirigama to Pothuhera under a green project to plant one million trees on roadsides. The event was attended by Chairman of Road Development Authority (RDA) Chaminda Athaluwage, RDA’s Director General Sardha Weerakoon, Project Director of the second phase of the Central Expressway Anura Kehelella and several other officials.

For this edition’s Weekly Wonder, we’re taking a look at Mike Flanagan, writer and director of popular Netflix series The Haunting of Hill House and The Haunting of Bly Manor (as well as many of our favorite horror movies). Flanagan’s newest show, Midnight Mass, hits Netflix on September 24, so you’ve still got time to catch up on Hill House and Bly Manor before then — though this new show isn’t related to the other two. Check out Netflix’s synopsis: “The tale of a small, isolated island community whose existing divisions are amplified by the return of a disgraced young man (Zach Gilford) and the arrival of a charismatic priest (Hamish Linklater.) When Father Paul’s appearance on Crockett Island coincides with unexplained and seemingly miraculous events, a renewed religious fervor takes hold of the community — but do these miracles come at a price?“We can’t wait to see this when it lands later this month.

State Minister of Money and Capital Market and State Enterprise Reforms, Ajith Nivard Cabraal has reiterated that there is no food crisis in Sri Lanka to come out from. “Like other countries of the world Sr Lanka too faces challenges. The country’s economic growth rate this year will be 4.5 percent,” Mr. Cabraal said in an interview with BBC. When asked as to why the government denied there is a food shortage while a food emergency has been declared to address the same issue, Cabraal responded that some unscrupulous traders had mischievously hoarded stocks of several food items in order to create an artificial shortage and profit by such exercise. Speaking further, the state minister pointed out that the creation of an artificial shortage by unscrupulous elements obviously leads to increases in prices.

So, with current recycling processes there is always some plastic waste that cannot be recycled. Encouragingly, some researchers have demonstrated plastic materials that could degrade in household compost or water.
