    ❄️☀️ ග්‍රීන්ලන්තයේ සිදුවෙමින් පවතින ග්ලැසියර් ඛාදනයෙන් පිළිඹිබු කරන ගෝලීය උණුසුම ඉහළ යෑමේ බලපෑම ❄️⚠️🌎

    It's real. Once while driving to Alaska we took a look at a glacier that had markings (fixed stake markers giving you the year where the foot of the glacier stood at that year) dating back to several decades. One could see the the separation of these markers rapidly increases during the recent...

    අඩෝ මේකනම් පට්ට දුක සීන් එකක් - පොඩි උන් 3දෙනා අනාතයි 😢😢

    They should not worry about say 20kmph overspeed, but those driving at a slower pace surely pose a danger to other motorists and should be charged for obstructing traffic.

    Yes.. Many times I have seen lorries/half lorries without tail lights. Also sometimes they park on the side but half jutting on to the lane in heavy rains when there's low-visibility. Real idiots. They should check at the highway entrance and stop and turn them back if the lights aren't working.

    Yes... It's true. Humans are unique. Although there isn't a specific answer, some believe that its due to the way evolution worked on our hearts. With upright standing , walking, running, activities like hunting and also our larger brain, led to a strong heart muscle development. Note that the...

    Didn't they start this work a few years ago? I have a recollection of this venture and somebody, probably a politician had some objections. :unsure:

    What's the Common Factor in Blue Zones.

    I have visited the plantations in China where they manufacture green tea. They mention about the polyphenols and market their products.

    It's the hidden mathematics of life. Almost all mammals have a lifetime heartbeats of the order of a billion. The difference is that even though it's the same song it has a different tempo. Body size varies strikingly across animal phylogeny. From small crustaceans weighing a few mg to blue...

    What's the Common Factor in Blue Zones.

    Many would have heard about the Blue Zones. These are countries or rather zones where people live longer and healthier lives, with much lower chances of developing degenerative diseases. There are a number of lifestyles known to be closely linked to health, happiness and longevity. Researchers...

    It's not accidentally but you use the gear lever instead of the turn signals. However, there isn't anything to worry as these systems are electronic and the worst case scenario only the N will be engaged. Happens to me most of the time in Europe & the US. After a couple of days you get used to...

    Superbug Evolves globally with a new Genetic Weapon.

    A deadly hospital superbug has evolved into a global force by weaponizing a genetic tool to wipe out its microbial competition. Researchers discovered that vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium (VREfm) developed the ability to produce bacteriocins—natural bacterial toxins—to eliminate rival...
