A word from the

Club President

It's a great pleasure for me to
address you in our amazing
newsletter. And I would like to
have this opportunity to address
all my Saegis Leo members.

Leo Thisuri Nisalya My dear Leos,
Being a Leo is a great opportunity
for our lives and trust me you are
lucky to have that valuable
Chance.

This makes sense not only words of LEADERSHIP,
EXPERIENCE, and OPPORTUNITIES.
Why? Leoism is a type of education, Leoism is a type of
making friends, Leoism is a type of having fun, and
Leoism is a good opportunity to improve your skills,
and it's a rare chance to help those indeed.

As the Club President of Leo Club of Saegis Campus,
I'm so lucky to have an editorial panel like this. I
appreciate our Chief editor Leo Hesanduni Wijesekara,
Chief Designer Leo Santhushi Hasini, and the editorial
team for your great and hard work. And I wish all the
best to our editorial panel for a successful future.

When it comes to public speaking, we all get lost
sometimes as we have many concerns. It can be not
having clear knowledge about the language, stage fright
and many more.

Saegis Leos were able to find many problems regarding
this matter through research and as a result, a webinar
was held on 5th October 2020 at 6.30 p.m. via the Google
Meet platform. The guest speaker of the evening was a
well known public speaking instructor Mr. M.S.V.
Balendran. More than 80 Leos and Non Leos joined us for
the webinar and we hope everyone of you learned
something through it.

Our heartfelt gratitude goes to the guest speaker Mr. M.S.V
Balendran, our Staff Advisor Mr. Thomas Benjamin
Jeganathan and our Leo Advisor PDG Lion Kamal
Seneviratne PMJF for the guidance and the support given
to us.

Rebuild
Earth

Disasters can be occurred naturally or by human
activities. Sometimes we can't prevent natural

disasters, but we can prevent Man-made
disasters such as explosions, Major fires, and
aviation etc. According to statistics, 22% of
Disasters were occurred by human activities.

To prevent Man-made disasters, we should be
aware of our wrongdoings to the Earth. For that

Saegis Leos organized an online image and
caption competition to make awareness and, all

the competitors had to do was find an image
from the internet and write a caption to aware
others to prevent disasters. From this project,
we were able to find true Earth lovers, and we
have chosen the ten best images and captions

from the project.

From this month onward, anticipate more for the
best ten online images and captions in PULSE OF

LEOS!

Rebuild Earth

Winner - Most Creative
Category

Dear Earth,
From the day we are born till the day
we are gone you bear us, giving food,
giving water, giving air and every other
things we want to live, and after we are
gone you take us into your lap forever.

You love us more than we are worth of.
Really do we deserve it as we are
destroying you in all the ways we could
find.
I am sorry that lots of people pollute you, destroying you
and other animals who have the same right to live as
humans.Are we worth even to be pardoned?

You have been really patient through all these years.
Don’t feel sorry to give us punishments because we really
deserve it. You gave us chances to change but we didn’t.
And I know you will never stop giving chances just like a
mother who has an unconditional love for her children,
but I myself will try to make a change to protect you.

I will plant more trees, protect your water and keep them
clean. I will protect the air clear enough to see the stars.
I’ll promise to be a responsible human being.

I’m with you because there is NO “PLANET B”

Diabetes Day

November 14th

According to WHO, Diabetes is the 7th leading
cause of death!
Diabetes is a lifestyle disease affecting all around
the world. Diabetes is not limited to only one age
limit and there's no age limit for Diabetes.

Diabetes mellitus, commonly known as Diabetes
is a chronic, metabolic disease characterized by
elevated levels of blood sugar. With diabetes, the
body doesn't make enough insulin or can't use
insulin effectively. There are more than four
diabetes types when it comes to diabetes in
different stages. The main symptom of diabetes is
rising blood sugar. Frequent urination, increase
hunger, increased thirst and blurry vision can be
seen as general symptoms of diabetes.

The theme for World Diabetes Day 2020 is "The
Nurse and Diabetes". This aims to raise
awareness around the crucial role that Nurses
play in supporting people living with Diabetes.
Anyone can prevent Diabetes by a healthy and
balanced diet, appropriate body weight, moderate
physical exercise, no smoking and drinking.

Don't let Diabetes ruin your life,

let's beat it together!

Last Issue Answers Explanation (answer at bottom): 13

This puzzle is very simply stated and yet
stumps those who have not heard it before,
because the listener tends to make an
implicit assumption about gender
— in this case that a blind beggar is a man.

Brain Use:

This puzzle touches on analytical functions
like abstract reasoning, hypothesis testing,
and implicit assumptions residing in your
frontal lobes, as well as your creativity in
finding novel solutions to problems and
emotional memory.

Answer:

The blind beggar was the sister of her
brother, who died.
