THE SECRET OF THE SANDS. – By Bernard VanCuylenburg. Epilogue. Pursuant to the articles which I wrote last year, “An Odyssey – A Search for Heritage, parts 1 and 2 “) following a foray into the cornucopia of ruins buried in deep jungle well off the beaten track, I embarked on a similar venture in March this year. I am passionately moved by the treasure trove of what could be the best in ancient Sinhala civilization, possibly the life force of Sinhala culture which remains buried in the sands still awaiting the archaeologists spade, and I wish to share my experience with a wider circle of lovers of history. Parting the veil of time, an unknown sculptor, architect, engineer, master craftsman, even a poet, reached out to me and held my hand leading me across the centuries in my quest. I read somewhere that “Quotations are thefts of other peoples ...

“Meet Your Human Microbiota: The Unsung Heroes Inside You” A new frontier in health – By Dr Harold Gunatillake “Hello, everyone! Today, we’re going on an incredible journey inside our bodies to meet some of the most important yet often overlooked inhabitants—the microbiota in our large gut.” Before we discuss microbiota, I must explain the difference between microbiome and microbiota. The microbiome refers to collecting genomes, which means the complete set of DNA (genetic material) in an organism from all the microorganisms in the environment. Microbiota, conversely, usually relates to microorganisms found within a specific environment, which is the gut in the present talk. However, microbiota can refer to all organisms found in an environment, including bacteria, viruses, and fungi. So, what is Microbiota? “Imagine a bustling city with trillions of residents; this is what our large gut looks like under a microscope. The microbiota consists of bacteria, viruses, ...

Celebrating Ramadan in Sri Lanka-Kalani-eLanka As the holy month of Ramadan approaches, Muslims around the world are preparing to embark on a journey of spiritual reflection, self-discipline, and communal solidarity. In Sri Lanka, where diversity is deeply ingrained in the fabric of society, Ramadan holds a special significance, fostering unity and understanding among people of different backgrounds. Scheduled to commence on April 11th, Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic lunar calendar, observed by Muslims worldwide as a month of fasting, prayer, and reflection. For the Muslim community in Sri Lanka, Ramadan represents a time of heightened spirituality and devotion, marked by acts of charity, selflessness, and compassion. One of the key pillars of Ramadan is fasting from dawn until sunset, during which Muslims abstain from food, drink, and other physical needs as an act of obedience to Allah (God) and as a means of purifying the soul.

The Sun goes on vacation! – the total solar eclipse 2024 – By Hemantha Yapa Abeywardena, United Kingdom The lucky folks along a relatively narrow geographical band, from Mexico all the way to Canda, are going to witness a rare celestial spectacle on Monday, April 8 – a total solar eclipse. The path of totality – where people can witness total darkness – cuts across fifteen US states, before rolling into Canada in its final mesmerising leg. In mathematical proportion to the excitement, the enviably famous American entrepreneurial spirit has already gone into full swing: the hotel bookings, closer to the path of totality, have gone up exponentially and so have the prices; in addition, traders lost no time in springing into action in promoting related merchandise and of course, safety goggles, while implying that exercising caution before looking heavenward is a virtue, indeed. The excitement that borders on ...

An Inspirational Message for the Month of April 2024 – Down to Earth Wisdom from the Book of Proverbs – Money Matters – By Charles Schokman If ‘money talks’, as the saying goes, the most common word in its vocabulary seems to be, “Goodbye”! No wonder Solomon wrote, “Cast but a glance at riches, and they are gone, for they will surely sprout wings and fly off to the sky like an eagle” (Prov 23.5). A recent Gallup statistic puts the median annual household income worldwide (including extremes of wealth and poverty) at US$9,733. Australians overall are doing well with a mean income of $79,800, according to Forbes Advisor – though others give slightly different figures. King Solomon, the main author, and compiler of the book of Proverbs was one of the richest men of his day, obscenely so! 1 Kings 10:14 informs us “The weight of the gold that ...
