HIP Supplies Electric Fence to protect Agriculture in Hambantota
Agricultural land in the Thammanawa area in the Hambantota district is now protected with a 15 feet high hanging electric fence that will keep away wild elephants.The Hambantota International Port (HIP) handed over the 5 ½ kilometre fence to the Thammannawa village agriculture committee last week.This area which was frequented by wild elephants will now be safe for villagers who will be able to carry out their livelihoods in peace.The fencing project, which is a part of HIP’s Human Elephant Peace initiative, was done after a scientific analysis was carried out in joint collaboration by the District secretariat and Wildlife Conservation Department.It also included 4 strategically placed roadside warning boards at high risk points and a series of awareness programmes for villages in the area. The next step which has already begun and currently in an exploratory stage is the planting of a Palmyrah tree bio fence.Johnson Liu, CEO of Hambantota International Port Group (HIPG), said at the handover ceremony, “HIP undertook this project because it is a burning issue within the community.

Taiwan president quits as party head after China threat bet fails to win votes
(Reuters) – Taiwan President Tsai Ing-wen resigned as head of the ruling Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) on Saturday after her strategy to frame local elections as showing defiance to China's rising bellicosity failed to pay off and win public support.The elections for mayors, county chiefs and local councillors are ostensibly about domestic issues such as the COVID-19 pandemic and crime, and those elected will not have a direct say on China policy.But Tsai had recast the election as being more than a local vote, saying the world is watching how Taiwan defends its democracy amid military tensions with China, which claims the island as its territory.The main opposition party the Kuomintang, or KMT, was leading or claimed victory in 13 of the 21 city mayor and county chief seats up for grabs, including the capital Taipei, compared to the DPP's five, broadly in line with expectations and similar to the results of the last local elections in 2018."The results failed our expectations. We humbly accept the results and accept the Taiwanese people's decision," Tsai told reporters at party headquarters as she quit as party head, which she also did after 2018's poor results."It's not like the DPP has never failed before," Tsai, who will continue serving as president until 2024, added.

GMTV’s Mr Motivator, 70, speaks out about prostate cancer scare as he shares health update
prostate cancer fears in an exclusive interview with Express.co.uk.The iconic fitness guru is taking on the challenge of a lifetime after his own experience with the disease.  Derrick will be running an impressive 26.2 miles this January in support of Prostate Cancer UK.The GMTV star gave a rare insight into his own health, as he discussed how prostate cancer had left a lasting impact on both him and his loved ones. Sadly, one in eight men are affected by prostate cancer, and Derrick was shocked to recently learn that black men face double this risk, as the disease affects one in four of them. Derrick, who rose to fame with his motivational live fitness sessions on breakfast television, spoke about how he had been personally impacted by the illness.  “There was a period, about two years ago, when I noticed that my flow was not as strong,” Derrick remembered.“So I went to get it checked and my prostate was slightly enlarged,” he continued.“And we just watched it, but we kept going back and the doctors and specialists kept saying, ‘Well look, your fitness is definitely keeping you ahead of the curve.’ “And there was a point at which it did get enlarged really badly and I was really having serious difficulty passing water.
