Wasthu widhyawa is an aspect that is considered before building a house since ancient times. It is the hope of many Sri Lankans to complete the components of their house in accordance with Vastu Shastra. And there are not without those who do not believe in this. But we think that what we are talking about today will be useful for both of them. Vastu In science, it is said that the house is built in such a way that the universal energy around us is taken into the house and spread throughout the house. What we are going to do today is to see if it is possible to explain some of the facts involved in the wasthu widhyawa through modern technology. To be honest, even though it is not possible to explain all the facts in that way, we thought that we should talk about some of the confirmed facts. It is mentioned in Vastu that it is inauspicious to place the wood under the top of the roof above the eaves of the house. Let's choose this as the first point. Technically speaking, here is how

There are many different types of roads around the world, which means that there are a huge number of roads made using different materials in various ways. This is a major infrastructure facility in any country and it is a factor that directly affects the economy of a country. Generally, the main purpose of a road is to allow anyone to travel easily between two places. In addition to that, there are roads made for other purposes, for example, if you want to travel quickly and in less time, there are roads made for things like highways. Sometimes with this related purpose, the quality of the road, the speed that can be traveled, the materials used to make the road, etc. will change. It is possible. So today we will see what kind of road systems have been prepared in our country using different raw materials like this. 01.

Do you really use ice to make concrete? This ice concrete is commonly used for constructions in very hot countries and for constructions with a large area and considerable height, for example, piles, pile caps (with a large height) and thick slabs etc. (trasfer plates). In addition, if the grade of the concrete does not come or the target strength after 30 days of placing the concrete is very high (>40N/m), ice concrete is used. In general, the substance called concrete is formed by adding cement, sand, black stone and water. The reaction between cement and water is the main factor for the strength of concrete. This reaction is known as curing or curing process. Some time passes and some heat is released.If the strength of the concrete is to reach the targeted level or to reach the concrete grade, the main requirements are that this curing process takes place over a certain period of time and under relevant conditions. This process preferably takes place at a temperature between 50°

Terrarium, the word is a bit unfamiliar, isn't it? So think like this. If you grow a jungle inside a completely closed glass bottle or glass jar, keep in mind that a terrarium is for something similar. You will understand exactly what it is when you read this article. A terrarium is usually a sealed glass container with soil and plants. It has a part inside the container that can be opened to reach the plants and for maintenance. The transparent nature of the glass allows both heat and light to enter the terrarium. The ideal environment for the growth of one plant has just been created. These are often kept as decorative and ornamental items. Image by pexels With the help of the heat received through the terrarium wall, a small-scale water cycle occurs in this pot. Do you know how? The temperature of the air inside rises with the heat. Then the water evaporates from the soil and plants inside it. Here this water vapor condenses on the surface of the walls of the terrarium and is ad

We have heard that the art of bonsai is another form of creation in Japan, which is born with new technology. But actually this can be called as a version of Penjin or Penzai, which was a basic traditional art in China. This art, harmony, is thousands of years old. The Japanese believe that it symbolizes balance and peace. The art of bonsai in Japan developed with Zen Buddhism. It is believed that this symbolizes the minimalist approach of Zen Buddhism and it teaches us to remove chaos from our lives. Image by PublicDomainPictures from Pixabay Nature has imparted the qualities of bonsai to the plants growing in the roughest environment throughout their life in the most rocky landscapes. The decayed nature of the roots near the trunk, the aged appearance of the trunk and branches can be described as the aesthetic qualities of a bonsai plant. .They highlight the instability and risk nature of life. In fact, any tree species can be used for bonsai cultivation. More specifically, any plan
