Sri Lanka is a country of many religious influences. Although the country was plagued with over 2 decades of civil war which started as a result of racial conflicts between the Sinhalese (the majority) and Tamils, the religious similarities between the two major religions are unavoidably evident. Most Sinhalese Buddhists are known to worship and seek the guidance and protection of various Hindu gods who are of Tamil origins. Such similarities...more

Why are LMS vendors so unhelpful? For a while now, I've been pondering the answer to the question – Why are LMS vendors so unhelpful? I don't think anyone in our industry disputes that idea – pretty much everyone across the board agrees that customer service is a problem for LMS vendors.Just the other day, we were talking to a LMS administrator for a large defense contractor because we provided him our compliance training course files to install on his LMS. When I asked for his candid assessment regarding his relationship with his LMS vendor, he replied, "Let's just say this. I put in a support ticket and I never get a call back." I can't tell you how many times I've heard this refrain.After giving it a lot of thought – here's my answer to this question. Most of the LMS vendors are structured as a traditional technology company, meaning they produce a technical application that solves a general business problem. Similarly, the organizational design of their workforce follows the traditional technology workforce, e.g., for customer service they have customers submit a support ticket and they'll troubleshoot an issue on their own system. Here's the problem – most HR...more

About four months ago I was suffering from severe neuralgia, a complication brought about by shingles. It was such an agonizing pain that I suffered insomnia. The pain was very stressful and depressing, much more when I learned that the anguish may last for months or even years. I thought like ordinary chicken pox, shingles will disappear even without the help of medication. So I did not bother to see a doctor. Blisters are painless, you can live with it, however, the end result is unforeseeable. The complication did not graze my mind. Later, I realized ignorance of the disease is fatal, very disastrous.It was too late then when I learned that to avoid complication, shingles must be medically cared for within seventy two hours. I was regretful that I did not see a doctor immediately. It was futile then to see a doctor at that juncture. What was needed was over; the only thing left is pain management, to be discussed with the doctor as to the appropriate pain reliever. It was really grueling to wait and predict whether the pain will stay forever or not. I never stopped asking myself, "Do I have to accept it as part of my whole being for as long as I live?"I am in my late fifties. I...more
