පළමු හා පස්වන සියවස අතර කාලයේදී, හින්දු ඉසිවරයෙක් අතීත භාවනාමය ක්‍රමයක් සම්පාදනය කරනවා, ඒ වගේම ඉන්දියාව පුරාම ඔහු එය පුහුණු කරවනවා. ඔහු එම ශිල්පක්‍රම වාර්තාගත කළා කාර්‍ය සංග්‍රහ 196කින් යුත් 'යෝගා සූත්‍රා' නම් පුස්තකයක. යෝගා යනු මනස වෙනත් අතුරු දේවල් වලට යොමුකිරීමෙන් වලකන නිවාරණයක් ලෙසත් එමගින් අවශ්‍ය සිහිය මනාව එළඹවාගැනීමට ඇති හැකියාවත් ලෙස මෙහි හදුන්වා දී තිබෙනවා. පසු කාලයේ යෝගා කායික අංග බවටත් අන්තර්ගත කෙරුණා සරඹ හා පොර බැදීම යන ආකාර වලින්. වර්තමානයේ යෝගා ආකාර විවිධ ක්‍රම වලින් දක්නට ලැබෙන අතර ප්‍රධාන අංග තුනකින් යුක්ත වෙනවා. එනම් කායික ඉරියව්, හුස්ම ගැනීමේ අභ්‍යාස හා අධ්‍යාත්මික ඒකාග්‍රතාව යන්නයි. මෙමගින් කායික හා මානසික ව්‍යායාමයන් මිශ්‍ර කරන අතර එමගින් විශේෂිත වූ සෞඛ්‍ය වාසි රැසැක් ලැබෙනු ඇතැයි විශ්වාස කරනවා. එනම් ශශක්තිය හා නම්‍යශිලීත්වය වැඩිදියුණු කිරිම, හර්දයේ හා පෙනහලු ක්‍රියාකාරිත්වය වැඩිකර මානසික සුවතාවයත් වැඩිදියුණු කරනු ලබනවා. සමකාලීන අඅධ්‍යයනයන් මගින් පෙන්නුම් කරනවා මේ මානසික හා කායික ක්‍ක්‍රියාකාරකම්වල පවතින ඒඒකාබද්ධතාවය නිසා ලැබෙන විශේෂ වූ සෞඛ්‍ය ප්‍රතිලාභ පි

LIFE OF A ROMAN SOLDIER

April 08, 2021

The year is 15CE and the Roman Empire is prospering. Most of the credit will go to the emperor, but this succcess wouldnt have been possible without loyal soldiers like Servius Felix. Servius enlisted as a legionary eight years ago at age 18, the son of a poor farmer with a few prospects. Unlike the majority of legionaries, he doesn't gamble, so he is been able to save most of his wages. He is even kept his viaticum, the three gold coins he recieved when he enlisted. If he survives until retirement, he will receive several acres of land. And he is grown rather fond of a girl back home whom he intends to marry. But he will have to wait untill he completes his 25 years of service before that can happen. And the life of a legionary is dangerous and grueling. Today, Servius's legion, along with three others, has undertaken a "great march" of 30,000 Roman paces, the equivalent of nearly 36 kilometers. Servius's armor and weapons, including his gladius, scutum and two

THE CHEMISTRY OF COOKIES

April 04, 2021

In a time lapse video, it looks like a monster coming alive. For a moment, it sits there innocuously. Then ripples move across its surface. It bulges outwards, bursting with weird boils. It triples in volume. It color darkness ominously, and its surface hardens into an alien topography of peaks and craters.Then the kitchen timer dings. Your cookie is ready. What happened inside that oven? Dont let the apron deceive you! Bakers are mad scientists. When you slide the pain into the oven, you are setting off a series of chemical reactions that transform one substance, dough, into another cookies. When the dough reaches 92 degrees Farenheit, the butter inside melts, causing the dough to start spreading out. Butter is an emulsion, or mixture of two substances that dont want to stay together, in this case, water and fat, along with some dairy solids that help hold them together. As the butter melts, its trapped water is released. And as the cookie gets hotter, the water expands into st

A DAY IN THE LIFE OF AN ANCIENT EGYPTIAN DOCTOR

April 03, 2021

Its another swetering morning in Memphis, Egypt. As the sunlight brightens the Nile, peseshet checks her supplies. Honey,garlic, cumin, acacia leaves, cedar oil. She is well stocked with the essentials she needs to treat her patients. Peseshet is a swnw, or a doctor. In order to become one, she had to train as a scribe and study the medical papyri stored at the Per Ankh, the House of Life. Now she teaches her own students there. Before teaching, Peseshet has a patient to see. One of the workers at the temple construction site has injured his arm. When Peseshet arrives, the laborer's arm is clearly broken, and worse, the fracture is a sed, with multiple bone fragments. Peseshet binds and immobilizes the injury. Her next stop is the House of Life. On her way, a woman intercepts Peseshet in the street. The woman's son has been stung by a scorpion. Peseshet has seen many similar stings and knows exactly what to do. She must say an incantation to cast the poison out. She begins to

HOW CAN YOU CHANGE SOMEONE'S MIND?

April 01, 2021

Three people are at dinner party. Nimal , who's married, is looking at Chaya. Meanwhile Chaya is looking at Kamal, who's not married. Is someone who's married looking at someone who's not married? Take a moment to think about it. Most people answer that there's not enough information to tell. And most people are wrong. Chaya must be either married or not married there are no other options. So in either scenario, someone married is looking at someone who's not married.When presented with the explanation, most people change their minds and accept correct answer, depsite being very confident in their first responses. Now lets look at another case. A 2005 study by Brendan Nyhan and Jason Reifler examined American attitudes regarding the justifications for the Iraq War. Researchers presented participants with a news article that showed no weapons of mass destruction had been found. Yet many participants not only continued to believe that WMDs had been found, but

WHAT HAPPENS TO OUR BODIES AFTER WE DIE?

March 31, 2021

Since the dawn of humanity, an estimated 100.8 billion people have lived and died, a number that increases by about 0.8% of the world's population each year. What happens to all of those people's bodies after they die and will the planet eventually run out of burial space? When a person's heart stops beating, the body passes through several stages it begins decomposing. Within minutes after death, the blood begins settling in the lower most parts of the body. Usually eight to twelve hours later, the skin in those areas is discolored by livor mortis, or post moterm stain. And while at the moment of death the body's muscles relax completely in a condition called primary flaccidity, they stiffen about two six hours later in what's known as rigor mortis. This suffering spreads through the muscles, and its speed can be affected by age, gender and the surrounding environment. The body also changes temperature, usually cooling off to match its environment. Next comes de
