“Doctor, I need your advice on how to get rid of the leg cramps that I experience at night. What would you recommend?” – By Dr harold Gunatillake Website:www.Doctorharold.com There is no evidence that magnesium supplements are beneficial for leg cramps, except for pregnancy-related ones, despite suggestions that magnesium deficiency may cause them.

Return of Angelo Matthews, the man with the Midas touch transforms Sri Lanka’s fortunes. England perish under new look Sri Lanka. – BY TREVINE RODRIGO IN MELBOURNE(eLanka Sports editor). Angelo Matthews turned out to be Sri Lanka’s new good luck charm and Kusal Mendis warmed to his role as skipper leading the Island nation to a convincing 8 -wicket victory over defending World Cup champions England in Bengaluru. Shell- shocked England, currently languishing at the bottom of this edition, had no answers to a revitalised Sri Lanka, as Matthews provided the Midas touch, after Jos Buttler won the toss and elected to bat. The bowlers, at long last, hit superb lengths with good line and accuracy to destroy England’s strong batting line-up, dramatically changing the leather hunt they were on in the first three games. And this made it so much easier for Sri Lanka’s batters to romp to an ...

Sallitivu Island – uninhabited islet in Vakarai – By Arundathie Abeysinghe Located in *Batticaloa District in the Eastern Province of Sri Lanka and significant due to its rich biodiversity, the islet is connected to the mainland over a sand bar approximately 200 meters in length. During the high tide as well as during the low tide, this sand bar is exposed, few inches below water. The islet is protected by a ring of coral reef with a 200-meter wide reef on the eastern side. During the high tide season, the sand strip gets covered with water and the sea shore is covered with dead corals. Although, the beach is wide and is pristine, it is covered with a thick layer of washed in coral rubble after the Tsunami that occurred in 2004. According to research conducted in the area, it was discovered that majority of the coral reef is not ...

Dr Premasiri Khemadasa Emperor of Sri Lankan Opera who revolutionised music to completely stop copying the Indian masterpieces – By Sunil Thenabadu The statement that music induces sensation is apparent. Certain melodies are embedded in our memories for ever. The power and the ability to change us and modify the world is always linked with a soundtrack of one genre or another. Music is a lustrous light that enters through the ears and routes through the body, similar to blood that streams inside its veins. When times get rough, the music carries us through the darkest of nights, like a narrow boat drifting off at sea through a cloud of indecision. For over fifty years of composing Dr Premasiri Khemadasa fused Sri Lankan folk elements, Indian ragas, and western classical forms into glorious melodies that captured the deepest longings of the people who shaped his life.His fusion of many genres of ...
