Ornamenting Fingernails and Roads: Beautification and the Embodiment of Authenticity in Post-War Eastern Sri Lanka Abstract In post-conflict Sri Lanka, communal tensions continue ot be negotiated, contested, and remade. Color codes virtually every aspect of daily life in salient local idioms. Scholars rarely focus on the lived visual semiotics of local, everyday exchanges from how women ornament their nails to how communities beautify their open—and sometimes contested—spaces. I draw on my ethnographic data from Eastern Sri Lanka and explore ‘color’ as negotiated through personal and public ornaments and notions of beauty with a material culture focus. I argue for a broad view of ‘public,’ which includes often marginalized and feminized public modalities. This view also explores how beauty and ornament are salient technologies of community and cultural authenticity that build on histories of ethnic imaginaries.

Unplanned developments can cause effects on important ecosystems, wa- ter and human health as well. In this study, the influence of rapid regional development on the accumulation of trace elements to the sediments of an important ecosystem, Batticaloa lagoon, Sri Lanka was examined. Surface sediment pollution status and ecological risk was compared with that of the recent sedimentary history of about 1 m depth. Sediment core samples were collected and analyzed for grain size, organic matter and carbonate contents and trace elements (As, Pb, Zn, Cu, Ni and Cr) by the X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) technique. The chemical results of core samples and recently published data of surface sediments of the same project were evaluated by pollution load index (PLI), potential ecological risk index (PERI) and sediment quality guidelines (SQG).

    INVITATION TO BID Implement Construction Works (ITB/GLED/15/2015) UNDP is the UN’s global development network, advocating for change and connecting countries to knowledge, experience and resources to help people build a better life. We are on the ground in 166 countries, working with them on their own solutions to global and national development challenges. The Governance for Local Economic Development Programme (GLED) is UNDP Sri Lanka’s new flagship programme for strengthening governance capacities at District, Divisional and Provincial levels and improving socio-economic opportunities in vulnerable regions in the country. GLED will focus on increasing the capacity of sub-national level governance institutions, civil society, the private sector and communities in order to foster access to enhanced public sector service delivery, socio-economic development, and social cohesion across the identified lagging regions, while securing the transition from recovery to development in the North and East. The Programme will help communities increase their production and “value-added” capacities and make use of productive infrastructure, new technologies and knowledge. Strengthened engagement with the private sector will increase the sustainability of livelihoods initiatives. Given the sub-national variations in Sri Lanka’s human development index, GLED offers a comprehensive and targeted response. To this effect, UNDP in Sri Lanka invites eligible National and or International Civil Work contractors meeting the respective minimum level of ICTAD registration in Building to submit Bids for the following LOT on an urgent basis.
