Ark Relief at Capernaum Synagogue |
The ancient Ark of the covenant of Israel is one the most famous items in all of antiquity. There is no trace of the Ark of the covenant, yet it is memorialized by this Scripture block at the synagogue of Capernaum, created in Greco-Roman style. In the Bible the Ark of the Covenant was captured by the Philistines, and later returned because of sudden plagues that happened upon their lands. Through the valley of sorek it was taken back to Israel to Beth-shemesh. |
Summary of The Books of Chronicles
The English version of the Bible places the books of Chronicles after Kings, but in the Hebrew text they are placed at the very end of the Old Testament. (See this chart of Old Testament books in Hebrew order). The books of Chronicles were originally one book, as in the case of Samuel and Kings. The Hebrew title is translated the "words of the days", yet the word Chronicles is mainly adopted by a theologian named Jerome who thought that they ought to bear the title from the Greek word for time which is "Chronos". This title created a distraction from the true meaning and purpose of this wonderful book. The main purpose of Chronicles was to form a genealogical description of the 12 tribes of Israel from the earliest recorded time. This was very important considering that there was a mixed multitude that had returned from Babylon, and it was also important to determine the lineage of Judah, and to reestablish the functions and order in which each individual tribe was required to perform.
The author of Chronicles has a fervent desire to make the people of Israel aware of the true glory of their kingdom, realizing that it traces back to David and Solomon. There is nothing that would impress upon them a greater understanding than taking them back through a detailed history of their kingdom, with all of its glory and prosperity and also the horrible sin that led to the captivity and the downfall of the theocracy. The author of Chronicles had a constant focus on the Temple which had been destroyed and the dynasty of King David. There is hardly any mention of the northern kingdom of Israel, it is mainly concerned with Judah and the events in connection with King David, and the building of the Temple. Solomon is not necessarily a huge focus other than his preparations for building the Temple and its dedication. The worship of the Temple is paramount and the functions of the Levites as well. The Kings of Judah are stressed with great importance as well as the idolatry that seduced the people of God.
Hebrew tradition credits Ezra has the author of the books of Chronicles, in the beginning of the books trace the genealogical records all the way back to Adam which took place in approximately 4004 BC. The book concludes with the Jews in Babylon after the captivity.

The contents of the books of Chronicles may be outlined as follows:
Outline of the Books of Chronicles
1 Chronicles
I. Genealogical Matters (1 Chronicles 1-9) These genealogies begin with Adam (1
Chronicles 1:1) and are
brought up to the time of the writer (1 Chronicles 9). It is surprising to note the
large number of historical incidents mentioned in connection with the
individuals named in these lists. Many of these are taken from other Old
Testament scripture, but some find their origin elsewhere (1 Chronicles 4:9, 10, 38-43).
II. The Reign of David (1 Chronicles 10 -29)
1) The last days and death of Saul and the early reign of David (1 Chronicles 10-12).
2) The return of the ark to Jerusalem (1 Chronicles 13-16). Included in this section is the
account of the misfortune of Uzzah, who was killed when he reached forth to save
the ark from falling (1 Chronicles 13).
3) David purposes to build the temple but is forbidden because of the great
amount of bloodshed to which he has been a party (1 Chronicles 17).
4) The account of David's conquests (1 Chronicles 18-20).
5) The census and the plague (1 Chronicles 21).
6) David's preparations for building the temple (1 Chronicles 22). Although David was
himself forbidden to build a temple for God, he set about to collect the
necessary materials for such a temple, that the task of his son Solomon might be
7) Designation of the duties of the Levites (1 Chronicles 23).
8) Organization of the government (1 Chronicles 24).
9) David's last words and his death (1 Chronicles 28-29).
2 Chronicles
III. The Reign of Solomon (2 Chronicles 1-9) This section includes the further preparation,
the building and the dedication of the Temple, as well as various other
activities of Solomon.
IV. The History of Judah to Its Fall (2 Chronicles 10 -36)
1) The revolt of the ten tribes and the reign of Rehoboam (2 Chronicles 10-12).
2) The reign of Abijah (2 Chronicles 13).
3) The reign of Asa (2 Chronicles 14-16). This was a period of prosperity in Judah as Asa
instituted a number of moral and religious reforms, establishing himself as a
servant of the Lord.
4) The reign of Jehoshaphat (2 Chronicles 17-20). This king was also diligent in his efforts
to serve God. He made considerable efforts to acquaint his people with the Law.
5) The reigns of Jehoram and Ahaziah (2 Chronicles 21:1�22:9).
6) The reign of Athaliah, the only queen of Judah (2 Chronicles 22:10-23:21).
7) The reign of Joash (2 Chronicles 24). Ascending to the throne at the age of seven,
Joash, advised by the high priest Jehoida, brought about the restoration of true
worship. After Jehoida's death, however, Joash himself slipped into the worship
of idols.
8) Amaziah, Uzziah, Jotham and Ahaz (2 Chronicles 25-28).
9) The reign of Hezekiah (2 Chronicles 29-32). After beginning his rule with a great
religious restoration, Hezekiah helped his nation to regain a measure of power
and glory.
10) Manasseh and Amon (2 Chronicles 33).
11) The reign of Josiah (2 Chronicles 34-35). In the eighteenth year of a reign that began
when he was only eight years old, Josiah began the most sweeping religious
reforms which Judah had ever known. During the renovation of the temple, the
"book of the Law" was found, encouraging the people greatly in this time of
12) The last days of Judah (2 Chronicles 36). After a brief reign by Jehoahaz, the throne
was taken by Jehoiakim, who reigned for eleven years. During this period he was
a vassal alternatively to Egypt and Babylon. In an effort to revolt against the
Babylonian rule, he lost his life. He was succeeded by Jehoiachin, who reigned
only three months, after which he was carried to Babylon, where he lived a
number of years. The last of the Judean kings was Zedekiah. Nebuchadnezzar had
already plundered Jerusalem of much of its treasures and a considerable number
of its most promising men. This took place in two raids, in 606 and 597 BC. In
586 BC, during the reign of Zedekiah, the Babylonians struck once again, this
time leaving none but the poorest class of people to remain in Jerusalem. Five
years later, the Babylonians came to collect about 750 more captives, even after
a number, including Jeremiah, had fled to Egypt (Jeremiah 43).

When Google unveiled its new Chromebook Pixel at a San Francisco press event last week, it played up one feature above all others: the Chrome OS laptop's 12.85″ screen, which, at 2560-by-1700 pixels with 239 pixels per inch, is one of the most outstandingly crisp displays ever to be put on a computing device. It's also a touchscreen, the first ever on a Chromebook.
But when chatter about the Pixel commenced on blogs and Twitter, the feature which attracted the most attention wasn't the screen. It was the price — $1299 for the version with Wi-Fi and 32GB of flash storage, and $1449 for one with Wi-Fi, LTE broadband and 64GB of storage. That's as much as a MacBook Air or a high-end Windows Ultrabook. For Chromebooks, it's uncharted territory: you could buy six Acer C7 Chromebooks for the price of the Wi-Fi Pixel and have a hundred bucks left over.
But hold on a moment. This Chromebook has an exceptional screen. It has a beautifully put-together aluminum case, still a rarity on any notebook without an Apple logo. It has a fine backlit keyboard and a great AC adapter. (It's pretty much a black knockoff of Apple's square power brick with the removable cord, but it's much, much slicker than the cheesy adapters which come with even top-of-the-line Windows computers.) It may be the most impressive piece of industrial design that's ever run a Google operating system.
Google is also throwing in a terabyte of Google Drive online storage for three years, an $1800 value; if by chance you were thinking about paying for the service separately, buying a Chromebook Pixel is like getting a computer for free.
The Pixel surely doesn't cost a lot because Google is charging too much. It costs a lot because the company pulled out all the stops and made the best Chromebook it possibly could. Which means that the machine is a litmus test of sorts.
Pretend, for a moment, that some kind soul has given you $1299 to spend on any portable computer you choose. If you'd plunk it down for a Chromebook, you're seriously committed to Google's vision of a browser-centric world in which computers boot up instantly, everything is stored on the Internet and consumers don't have to fret about operating-system updates and security holes. And if you'd spend your dough on a MacBook or Windows laptop instead, you're saying that you're not ready to give up conventional computing for Google's cloud-centric dream.
Me, I've been using a Chromebook Pixel provided by Google for the past six days or so. I'm still not sold on the idea that Chrome OS has rendered traditional operating systems which run local software obsolete. Even so, spending time with the Pixel has improved my impression of Chrome OS, an operating system I've found frustrating in the past. I feel less like the idea's a nonstarter, and more like it's a work in progress.
As is my occasional wont, I'm going to share the rest of my thoughts on the Pixel in the form of an interview with myself…
So how's that screen?
Really, really nice, when it's displaying stuff that shows off just how many pixels it packs. Text on web pages is super-crisp, and Google provides wallpapers and a scenic video with spectacular detail.
As with Apple's Retina-screen MacBook Pros, however, the Pixel's display is so cutting-edge that it's raced ahead of much of the web it displays. Many of the images I encountered, produced with lower-resolution devices in mind, looked blocky on the Pixel, which scales them up so they stay in proportion with the other elements on a web page. Some icons were razor-sharp; others (including the one for my Google Apps Gmail account) were pixelated eyesores.
And when I tweaked photos in Pixlr's excellent browser-based image editor, it didn't take advantage of the Pixel's additional resolution to squeeze more of the image on-screen at one time: it only displayed a third of a photo which, in theory, should have fit in its entirety.
Google cheerfully admits that the Pixel's specs sail past the needs of most of the sites it displays. Its Chromebook site declares that "The Chromebook Pixel is a laptop that brings together the best in hardware, software, and design to inspire future innovation." It's hoping that the very existence of the high-res screen and other features will encourage the web to catch up with its capabilities. We shall see.
How about the aspect ratio of 3:2? This is the first non-widescreen notebook to come along in years.
It makes for the tall sort of display that used to be universal before widescreens came along. That means widescreen video gets displayed with extra acreage of black bars up top and on the bottom. But I basically like it: as Google says, the web needs height more than it needs width, and the additional vertical pixels permit you to see more of stuff like word-processing documents without having to scroll incessantly.
You didn't mention that it's a touchscreen.
That's because it may be the least interesting thing about this laptop. You can scroll around and jab at buttons with your fingertip, but I'm not sure why you would, given that your fingers will be closer to the machine's sizable touchpad. Weirdly, pinch-to-zoom only works on web pages if you turn on an option buried in a secret configuration page.
The real issue here is that almost nothing on today's web was designed with touch input in mind. Google is readying a Google+ photo app which may show off the touchscreen to better advantage, and it says it's encouraging web developers to build touch-friendly sites and services. For now, though, I don't think the Pixel's touch capability is a major selling point, even for touchscreen aficionados.
What's it like using Chrome OS?
Way better than it was the first time I tried living with a Chromebook, back in 2011. Back then, the experience was rife with glitches — such as random crashes and a balky touchpad — which made me feel like I was participating in a science experiment.
On the Pixel, Chrome OS is smooth, very smooth. When you open the case, it springs to life almost instantly. The laptop's big, glass touchpad is one of the best I've used, handling precise mouse pointing, two-fingered scrolling and other gestures with aplomb. I haven't tried formally benchmarking the browser, but it feels super-snappy, even when I hop between tabs — and even when I have more than forty tabs open at a time.
Some things which didn't run on a Chromebook in 2011, such as Netflix, now work fine. The only technical oddities I encountered were occasional instances when links on web pages didn't work until I refreshed the browser. Then again, that sometimes happens with ordinary browsers on conventional laptops, too.
Using a browser as your sole computing interface still has its drawbacks: I wish, for instance, that the full-screen mode was more sophisticated. (Once you're in it, there doesn't seem to be any way to switch to other web apps without exiting it.) But in most respects that matter, Chrome is the best browser I've ever used.
How easy is it to get online?
Easy, especially if you buy the $1449 version with Verizon Wireless LTE, which is what Google provided for review. But I did notice that when I opened the Pixel's lid, it took a few seconds for the machine to reconnect to LTE; by contrast, my Verizon iPad seems to be online the moment I press the power button.
How well does it work when you don't have an Internet connection?
It depends on what you're expecting, and what you need to do. Some of Google's own productivity apps — Docs, Sheets, Slides — work well offline. I was also able to edit images with Pixlr and save them to the Pixel's local storage. Gmail is usable, although you use it in an entirely separate, reduced-feature web app, not the standard Gmail one. A number of games, including Angry Birds, are playable.
Google Calendar supposedly is available without a connection, but only in read-only mode; I couldn't figure out how to make even that work, though. And some of the other web apps I wanted to use, such as Evernote, aren't designed for offline use.
One of the least polished aspects of Chrome OS is its behavior when it isn't connected to the Internet. Sometimes it knows it's offline and tells you so; in other instances, it seems to mistakenly suspect that there's something wrong with the site you're trying to use. The whole experience would be more pleasing if it were more clear that you were disconnected, and if the operating system always behaved in the same way.
Aside from offline issues, what else couldn't you do?
Well, a couple of things in the brief time I've had with the machine: I wanted to make a Skype call to my colleague Doug, but Skype currently requires a downloadable app. I also tried listening to an Audible audiobook, but discovered that it was in a format Chrome OS doesn't understand. And I plugged in my beloved Microsoft LiveCam, which I prefer to any built-in webcam, just to see if the Google+ Hangouts service would notice it was there. No luck.
Of course, there are many other tasks a Chromebook is simply incapable of handling: My colleague Matt Peckham, for instance, uses a powerful piano app called Synthogy Ivory II which won't run on a web-only computing device and involves libraries of audio files which require more local storage space than the Chromebook has. Chromebooks aren't for people like Matt. They're for people who already find themselves doing most or all of their computing on the web rather than with traditional software.
Tell us about the battery life.
Oh, right. I found Google's estimate of "up to" five hours of use on a charge to be accurate. And disappointing. The Intel Core i5 processor that gives the Pixel such brisk performance also drains its battery rapidly. My iPad has trained me to believe that a new-wave computing device should get something in the neighborhood of ten hours of battery life, but Chromebooks are moving in the wrong direction: the first one you could buy, Samsung's original Series 5, claimed 8.5 hours and came close in my experience.
What's the storage situation?
The $1299 Pixel has 32GB of solid-state storage; the $1449 LTE model has 64GB. If you've got a profusion of videos or other portly files, that could be tight. But if you buy into the Chromebook proposition, you'll use that space mostly when you're unable to connect to your online Google Drive. And the Pixel comes with an awe-inspiring 1TB of Google Drive storage, at no charge for the first three years. (Actually, you don't need to fret that Google will start charging you for the stuff you've stored after three years — if you fill up your 1TB, the company says it'll store those files indefinitely for free.)
Now, an online drive isn't really a substitute for a local one: for one thing, as my friend Avram Piltch of LAPTOP magazine pointed out on Facebook, the monthly data caps many ISPs enforce may prevent you from moving massive files back and forth willy-nilly. Still, having that much room — 500 times the base allotment of a free Dropbox account — will allow virtually anybody to store virtually all of their data on the web, with room to spare.
Give us a bottom line, please.
Just as I can admire a $100,000 electric sportscar without contending that it's a practical machine for the masses — or even craving one myself — I'm happy that Google built the Chromebook Pixel, even though the market for it is likely going to be negligible. If you're a Chromebook believer, aren't fazed by paying $1299 or more for one and can live with around five hours of battery power, the chances are good that you'll be delighted by this computer. (I'll bet a meaningful percentage of folks who buy and like it will be satisfied owners of previous Chromebook models.)
For everybody else, it's a curiosity. But it's also proof that Google can design and ship an outstanding piece of hardware. Here's hoping it plows some of what it learned from building the Pixel into gizmos for the rest of us.

If you struggle with chronic pain and tightness throughout your body, you may suffer from a problem known as myofascial pain syndrome. This condition can send pain and other unwelcome sensation to various parts of your body while also limiting your range of motion. Fortunately, you can get all-natural relief through the combination of chiropractic care and a treatment modality called myofascial release at Shipman Chiropractic.
Benefits of Myofascial Release
In addition to muscles, tendons, and ligaments, your body contains a type of connective tissue known as fascia. The fascia covers these other tissues and weaves their way through them like a membranous web. This arrangement means that when fascia develops problems, the underlying tissues often suffer the effects.
Myofascial pain syndrome may stem from issues such as poor posture or uncorrect spinal alignment errors that place your tissue under constant, unnatural stress. The fascia may tighten up, limiting muscle motion painfully. Your tissues may also develop painful knots called trigger points. These knots of tight tissue can pinch nerves, sending referred pain to remote areas such as the extremities.
Myofascial release offers a drug-free, non-invasive technique for relaxing these areas of tightness. In this form of massage, your practitioner feels for knots or hard spots that need breaking up. Targeted manipulation of these areas can force the tissue to unclench, freeing your body to work as it should and easing referred pain symptoms.
Combining Chiropractic Care With Myofascial Release
Chiropractic care and myofascial release work hand in hand to provide lasting relief. Randy Shipman makes adjustments and corrects any alignment problems that make you more vulnerable to myofascial tightness and pain. Between chiropractic adjustment sessions, ongoing myofascial release sessions can keep your tissues from tightening up again.
This incremental approach not only helps you maintain optimal comfort and mobility; it also helps to preserve the corrections made by Shipman, allowing you to get the greatest possible benefit from your adjustments. We can even show you how to self-administer simple kinds of myofascial release using a foam roller or other tools to help you keep your tissues limber.

Nyofascial release represents just one of the many therapeutic options available at our holistic chiropractic care center. For more information about myofascial, contact Shipman Chiropractic at (563) 359-1985.

Invest in a secure future.
Annuities focused on superior coverage.
Annuities can be a valuable investment, but there are risks to consider. Our experts will help you decipher the different types of annuities so you can decide whether this type of investment is right for you.
Annuities are the main way of turning a pot of cash into an income stream. In very simple terms, they work like a life insurance policy in reverse–you pay them a lump sum up front, then they pay you regularly until you die.
There are two specific types of risk with annuities. The first is the risk that you die early and, thus, don't receive as much money back as you paid up front.
The second risk only applies to some forms of annuities. You can get annuities that pay a fixed amount, often based on factors such as your age, gender and health status when you buy the annuity. However, you can also get variable annuities in which the insurer invests the money, meaning the amount you receive depends on the performance of the investments. To mitigate this risk, you can opt for the middle-ground of an index-linked annuity.
Whether annuities are right for you and what level of risk is appropriate will depend on your financial circumstances. You'll also need to carefully consider the tax implications, particularly if you want to retire early.
Contact us today to discuss your annuities options.

As per ICANN's new domain transfer guidelines, effective 25th May 2018, all domain transfers will not require Form of Approval (FoA). The Transfer Authorization process will not require the Registrant Contact's approval via e-mail.
To Transfer your domain name away from Vertoz Advertising Limited to another Registrar
Before proceeding with the Transfer, you are advised to first check if your domain name can be transferred. See details
Domain Name Extension Specific Caveats
NoteTo Transfer away your .RU domain name to Registrar RU-Center or any of their Partner, you need your current NIC-D Handle and Password. See details
Once a .TEL domain name is transferred, a new .TEL Hosting Control panel will be allocated by the New/Gaining Registrar. This results in deletion of the .TEL Hosting Control Panel with Vertoz Advertising Limited.
Hence, before initiating the Transfer of a .TEL domain name, you need to create a backup of the data under the .TEL Hosting Control Panel with Vertoz Advertising Limited and download it to your local computer. Once the domain name has been transferred, you can restore the data from within the .TEL Hosting Control Panel provided by the New/Gaining Registrar.
Additional InformationBackup and Restore the data from within the .TEL Hosting Control Panel
Once you have determined whether a domain name can be transferred, you will need to apply for the Transfer at the Registrar of your choice. Refer to the New/Gaining Registrar's Transfer process to transfer your domain name under their management.
NoteYou may require a Domain (Transfer) Secret/Authorization Code to complete the Transfer process. See details
Once you have confirmed the Transfer with the New/Gaining Registrar, we would receive an intimation about this Transfer. Vertoz Advertising Limited would then be sending an email to the Registrant Contact of the domain name, informing them that a request for Transfer of this domain name has been placed with the New/Gaining Registrar.
If you do not wish to Transfer your domain name to this New/Gaining Registrar, click the Cancel Transfer Link listed in the email within 5 days, from the date the email was sent.
Upon placing a Transfer request for a .AU domain name, Vertoz Advertising Limited would be emailing the Registrant Contact for his approval.
Upon placing a Transfer request for your .ES domain name with the New/Gaining Registrar, the .ES Registry will email the Admin Contact listed in the Whois of the domain name. The Admin Contact must click the approval link within 10 days to confirm the Transfer. If the approval link is not clicked or the decline link is clicked, the domain name will continue being registered with Vertoz Advertising Limited.
Transfer of a .EU domain name does not involve approval by the Registrant Contact through email/FAX. Once a Transfer request is initiated, the .EU Registry authenticates the Transfer through the provided Authorization Code and completes the Transfer instantly.
Transfer of a .NZ domain name does not involve approval by the Registrant Contact through email/FAX. Once a Transfer request is initiated, the .NZ Registry authenticates the Transfer through the provided Unique Domain Authentication ID (UDAI) and completes the Transfer instantly.
Upon confirming a Transfer to the New/Gaining Registrar/RU-Center/Partner, Vertoz Advertising Limited would not be emailing you any confirmation message.
The domain name will get transferred to the New/Gaining Registrar, at the expiry of 5 days from you having approved the Transfer at the New Registrar, provided the Registrant Contact does not cancel the Transfer.

In the world of advertising, the success of a billboard often depends on its location. And in the sporting world, what's a better local than the tall, imposing bodies of professional basketball players - which brings us to our last word in business: basketball billboard.
At an NBA meeting last week, team owners floated the idea of slapping corporate logos on team uniforms.
The New York Times reports three prototypes are being considered. In one of them, the team name is completely replaced by the name of a sponsor. Other designs feature smaller ads.
NEARY: Athletes wearing ads is already the norm in soccer, NASCAR and golf. But basketball will be the first of the big four pro American sports to adopt this strategy. An NBA executive told The Times that some fans will think the league has lost its mind. But he says corporate sponsorships on jerseys is only a matter of time.
And that's the business news on MORNING EDITION from NPR News. I'm Lynn Neary.

I'm already sick of the BCS griping.
I don't have a problem with pollsters vaulting
I don't think

(I do think it's invalid for voters to have used "
I don't think that Jim Tressel should ever be allowed to vote in the coaches' poll ever again, for opting out this final (and most important) vote of the season.
I don't think that
I don't think that everyone should presume that
I don't think the BCS system works either, but I don't think that the various playoff suggestions I've heard are without their own massive flaws.
(For example, if you thought there was a debate over No. 2, how exactly do you expect to resolve the "Who's Number 4?" debate in a mythical 4-team playoff:
One-loss weak totally underrated Big East? One-loss
If you thought a debate over two teams for one title-game spot was insane, try arguing over five teams for one playoff spot. And that's just this year: The problem is that from year to year, there might be no debate -- like last year, when a playoff would have been ludicrous -- or there might be even more teams in the mix.)
Again, I'm not arguing against a playoff. I'm just saying it creates new issues that don't really solve the problems we've got now. "Deciding it on the field" doesn't really fly when you've left 4 arguably worthy teams out of a 4-team playoff field.
Finally, if you want the "Oh, the humanity!" moment of the year in sports, just take a look at some of the ridiculous ballots from the Harris poll. It gives the media a convenient punching bag, but when you look at the voting pool, it's totally random and some ballots are a joke. (FanIQ has some highlights -- or lowlights -- of the human poll balloting.)
Here's the bottom line: It's a broken system, and everyone knows it. It was unfortunate that one arguably worthy team had to be left out. (BTW,
More Quickie takes, including five on the NFL:
(1) Oh, so THAT's what all the Reggie Bush hype was about...
(2) Holy smokes, is Rex Grossman bad...
(3) Has Tom Coughlin been fired yet...?
(4) So much for the Dolphins as a surging would-be playoff team...
(5) I should have had followed my gut about Vince Young in my Friday picks...
More CFB: After Rutgers' loss at West Virginia on Saturday night to sort of taint an otherwise Cinderella season, perhaps Greg Schiano realizes that he'll always have trouble beating Louisville and WVA if he stays with Rutgers, while at Miami, he could own the otherwise soft ACC. When
College Hoops: Let's not forget that karma is a boomerang: The same night that
MLB Hot Stove: The annual winter meetings start today, with the top storylines being: (1) Bonds, (2) Manny, (3) Zito, (4) Schmidt.

About 20 million people in the United States practice some form of yoga, from the formal Iyengar and Ashtanga schools to the more irreverent "Yoga Butt."
But some Hindus say yoga is about far more than exercise and breathing techniques. They want recognition that it comes from a deeper philosophy — one, in their view, with Hindu roots.
Many forms of yoga go back centuries. Even in the U.S., the transcendentalists were doing yoga in the 1800s.
William Broad, a reporter for The New York Times and author of The Science of Yoga, has been practicing since 1970. He says people pursue yoga for all kinds of reasons, from achieving health and fitness to seeking spirituality, energy and creativity.
Yoga, Broad says, is an antidote for a chaotic world.
"You see a wild correlation between yoga studios and the most stressful places on the planet," like lower Manhattan or road-rage prone Los Angeles, Broad says.
That's because, he says, "yoga works — to unplug, to relax, to help tense urbanites deal with that tension," he says.
Reconciling Modern Views With An Ancient Practice
But some Hindus are taken aback by how so much of the yoga practiced in the United States emphasizes only the physical.
The holistic practice of yoga goes beyond just a couple of asanas on a mat.
One group, the Hindu American Foundation, has launched a "Take Back Yoga" campaign to address what they see as a fundamental disconnect between yoga and Hinduism.
Sheetal Shah, senior director at the foundation, says the group started the campaign when it noticed that while "Vedic," "tantric" and many other words appeared regularly in yoga magazines, the word "Hindu" was never mentioned.
So, the foundation called up one of the country's most popular magazines to ask why.
"They said the word 'Hinduism' has a lot of baggage," Shah says. "And we were like, 'Excuse me?' "
Shah says she understands why some people have a problem with linking yoga and Hinduism. Many American practitioners associate the practice with something pure and serene, she says. But when they think of Hinduism, she says, they think of "multiple gods, with multiple heads and multiple arms. Colorful [and] ritualistic."
It may be difficult for people to see how these things fit together, Shah says.
With the Take Back Yoga campaign, the Hindu American Foundation is hoping for broader acknowledgment that yoga has Hindu philosophical roots — while also emphasizing that it is universal and appropriate for everyone.
"What we're trying to say is that the holistic practice of yoga goes beyond just a couple of asanas [postures] on a mat. It is a lifestyle, and it's a philosophy," Shah says.
"How do you lead your life in terms of truthfulness? And nonviolence? And purity? The lifestyle aspect of yoga," Shah says, "has been lost."
Staying 'Accessible To All'
There's a huge scholarly debate about yoga's origins, but experts agree the practice dates back to a time before the term "Hindu" was even used to describe a spiritual tradition based on the Vedas, sacred texts that form the underpinnings of Hinduism — although Shah would argue that "Vedic" and "Hindu" are one and the same.
But author William Broad says Yoga was reinvented — and somewhat sanitized — in the 1920s and '30s. Some of the tantric and sexual aspects were removed, he says, and more health and exercise put in.
"There is no 'yoga,' " says Broad. "There are hundreds and thousands of things that are labeled yoga." Like laughter yoga, which Broad remembers practicing in Mumbai. He had a great time, he says, "but in truth, there is nothing yogic about laughter yoga."
Alison West has been teaching yoga since the 1980s. She says it's important that yoga be accessible to Jews, Christians, atheists and others who feel no affinity with Hindu spiritual traditions. All people, she says, should feel free to use yoga for personal satisfaction or emotional and mental awakening.
"The genius of yoga," she says, is that it's "accessible to all. It's very important to not overstress the Hindu origins of yoga. And at the same time, nobody should dismiss the vast importance that Hinduism has played in the evolution of yoga over the centuries," West says.
But Genny Kapuler, who teaches Iyengar yoga, says her understanding of yoga is indeed Hindu in origin. In her practice, she says, "every thought, every action has a ramification ... there is this moral responsibility to own what you do."
The Hindu American Foundation's Shah says these discussions alone show the Take Back Yoga campaign is working.
Indeed, many practitioners would argue their practice goes far beyond a few poses and breaths. Kapuler says she's amazed at how, for her, yoga has led to greater emotional stability, happiness and a deepening of human kindness.
"I practice it over and over," she says. "And I think it and I teach it, and I change."

FSFE Newsletter - May 2011
Competition authorities: Free Software protects competition
882 software patents, likely related to GNU/Linux, in the hands of people who could use them to pressure Free Software companies and developers? Maybe in the hands of Microsoft, which has for years used nebulous patent claims to extract licensing fees from companies that use the Linux kernel in their products. This month the German and the US competition authorities approved the sale of those patents to CPTN, a consortium consisting of Microsoft, Oracle, Apple, and EMC. But, barring nasty surprises in the still to be published detailed decision, we neutralised the danger for Free Software.
Software patents are a very complex matter, and competition authorities are not used dealing with them. So beginning from December 2010 we explained to the German competition authorities why the patent sale was highly problematic. In our first, and second submission we explained the mechanics that some companies use to compete in the software market, and how they preserve their monopolies.
In their press release the authorities have not only highlighted the importance of Free Software for competition, and that actual patent lawsuits are anticompetitive but also that threatening with patent lawsuits, like the fear, uncertainty and doubt (FUD) strategies from some non-free software companies, can be anticompetitive.
So for the first time, competition authorities have acknowledged the essential part of Free Software for competition, and that patent lawsuits by dominant market participants can be anticompetitive. This will also be important for future debates, when the behaviour of big non-free software companies has to be evaluated from a competition law perspective.
As the devil is in the details, we hope to hear about the exact wording of the CPTN contracts to evaluate them. Such work is very time consuming, and we would not be able to keep track of those activities, without the support of one time donations and regular ones by our Fellows.
Mission is possible
To date, 17 percent of the public institutions, we contacted, already replied and removed the non-free PDF reader advertisements from their websites. The current progress of the campaign can be seen on our buglist. Until now we have only received one negative reply. However, as about 83 percent of the contacted institutions have not responded yet, we want to remind them about the letter we have sent, and ask for a reply. This works only with your help. To take part, follow the actions from our follow-up guide. In short this is:
- have a look at organisations in your country which appear as not having answered yet,
- contact and remind them of FSFE's letter on inadmissibility of advertising of proprietary software by public institutions, and
- ask them to remove the proprietary software advertising from their websites.
If you discover non-free PDF reader advertisement, and is not on our list, you are encouraged to contact them on your own. For public institutions use a modified version of our letter, for companies and non-profits we are working on a template, after volunteers have convinced organisations like Greenpeace Germany to link to pdfreaders.org instead.
Something completely different
- Data stored per-user, and under the user's control. That is the aim of the unhosted web. This project is covered by this month Fellowship interview with Michiel de Jong. If you want to discuss this in person with Michiel, he will help as one of our booth volunteers for one day during Berlin's Linuxtag.
- Free Software for the public sector: We have provided input for the European Commission on modernising the way in which public bodies buy software and related services.
- At the moment fellows are starting new Fellowship groups in Augsburg (Germany) and Manchester (UK). For the Manchester group our British coordinator Sam Tuke created a good presentation template about the Fellowship which is now linked from the meeting howto.
- Noteworthy articles from the Fellowship planet include:
- Timo Jyrinki's article about his presentation of "tuning an old but free phone" with corresponding videos from FSCONS,
- Carlo Piana's article "Doors opened at Openoffice" about Oracle's announcement that they want to make OpenOffice.org a community developed project,
- and Lena Simon's article about the old myths in a digital society (German) which also covers some issues we have to explain often.
- Groklaw's well deserved pension. Groklaw is shutting down and like our sister organisation we would like to thank them for their good work.
- Free Software licensing, Free Software business, software patents, and other topics from a legal point of view are covered in Matija's Free Software and law related links. Editions are available for 29.03.-17.04., 18.04.-24.04., and 25.04.-29.04..
Get Active - Internships at FSFE
We are looking for smart, motivated interns to join our team. Apply for an internship position yourself, or distribute the information about it. We offer:
- a challenging and exciting time with a dynamic NPO working internationally,
- a close-up view of organisational and community processes,
- a chance to take the initiative and put your ideas into practice, and
- the opportunity to meet and work with Free Software advocates across Europe.
Beside the current interns Natalia Evdokimova, and Nicolas Jean, past interns include our Italian coordinator Giacomo Poderi, Fellowship representative Hugo Roy, our president Karsten Gerloff, UK coordinator Sam Tuke, Swedish team member Stian Rødven Eide, education team coordinator Thomas Jensch, and your editor, who was FSFE's first intern. So as you can see, the internship is a good start to get more involved in FSFE.

First I'll show you the ones the kids helped to make, then I'll show you the birthday present me and Paul made for our older daughter, who turned six yesterday. Me and the kids made an x-wing and a tie fighter one evening a couple of weeks ago, when I should have been making dinner. Just hot glue and stuff from the recycling bin, plus a bit of paint on top.
The x-wing was made from a small cardboard box for the body, a cereal box cut out for the wings, four corks for the engines, with pen lids on the tips of the wings and on the back of the engines. The guns coming out of the ends of the wing tip pen lids are snipped off electrical ties like the ones I used to make the insect antennae. The nose of the x-wing was made from strategically cutting a mac and cheese box and then glueing a bit of an egg carton to the end. The cork engines had a plastic lid stuck on the front of each (from a quarter machine toy container). Lastly the cockpit cover was made from a clear plastic wood screw box.
The tie fighter was made from a toilet roll tube, two cut out bits of plastic from the bottom of a black plastic Trader Joes chana masala tray (mmmmm curry!) and the middle is just a left over plastic baseball from when we did the vuvuzela craft a while back. I love the wonky little cockpit window that my four year old drew on it.
These have been a huge hit with the kids. My older daughter was particularly excited about the x-wing because the pilot actually went inside it. They were so into them that I was on the verge of helping them to turn a couple of old frisbies into the Millenium Falcon, but Carys's birthday was a week away and so me and Paul decided to secretly make her a more robust Falcon dollhouse for her present. After I made Pixie Hollow for Ffion back in March, I wanted to do something equally home made for Carys and so we decided to spend a few evenings with me painting up peg dolls and Paul screwing various thrift store finds together to make the Falcon for them to go in.
I painted up all the peg dolls over the course of four evenings, after the kids had gone to bed. They are really freaking small! It would have been much easier to use larger peg dolls, but these were the ones we could get cheaply at Michaels (didn't have time to wait for anything by mail), also I needed them to be able to fit into the doll house we were making for them. I used two sizes. Darth Vader and Chewy are made from larger 2-3/8" blank peg dolls (they came in a packet of two) All the others were made from the little 1-5/8" peg dolls that came in packets of three. Some of them had bits chopped off and glued back together in weird ways to get the right sizes and shapes. Here's the only in progress photo I took (about half way through).
The cute little faces were based on a great flikr set by Ty Lettau that I found via laughing squid, at just the right moment!
Vader and the storm trooper's masks were made by covering the peg in clingfilm/clingwrap and then molding Fimo clay into the right shape, then carefully pulling it off and baking it hard. It was fiddly, but I couldn't think of another way to make the helmets be realistic and fit the pegs correctly. Vader's can be taken on and off to reveal his gnarly face when he decides to leave the dark side. I glued on the storm trooper's helmet though.
Leia's hair is a couple of wooden beads glued onto the sides of her head. Han Solo in carbonite is a Jenga block with half of one of the peg doll's heads glued on. C3P0 had his head chopped off and replaced with a random smaller wooden head shaped thing I had handy. R2D2 was the bottom bit that we chopped off to make Yoda with another half a head glued on the top. He's teeny (only 3/4" tall). They are all painted with acrylic craft paint and have a couple of coats of satin finish Mod Podge to varnish them (Darth and the storm trouper's helmet are varnished with gloss Mod Podge) I superglued felt to Chewy's head and little felt ears to Yoda, which went rock hard once I painted and varnished it.
I still want to make Boba Fett and Jabba, maybe even a couple of Ewoks, oooh and Admiral Ackbar! There are so many characters we could keep going with, so if the kids are still into it I might make more as stocking fillers for Christmas. Anyway, here are the pics...
Han Solo
Han in carbonite
Obi Wan Kenobi
Luke Skywalker in his X-wing flight suit.
Princess Leia.
Lando Calrissian Yoda.
Storm Trooper. It was very late when I painted this little dude and I now realise that the way I painted his boby armour makes it look like he's wearing a thong. Nice.
Darth Vader
With his mask off.
Chewbacca. R2D2 Then you can arrange them into groups for sinister family portraits :)
Paul has written a post on his blog "Fangletronics" showing how we put together the Millenium Falcon dollhouse from random thrift store finds and recycling. So if you want to see all the bits that went into making the ship below then pop over to his post here.
It's been played with almost constantly since the kids got it yesterday. It's always a relief when something you have spent a lot of time on is well received! Phew! I think Paul did a good job making the falcon sturdy, so hopefully it'll last for a long time.

One of the big questions facing social media giant Twitter ahead of its New York Stock Exchange debut this week is how much money it could actually make for investors.
"We have incurred significant operating losses in the past, and we may not be able to achieve or subsequently maintain profitability," the company writes, in its business prospectus.
Twitter expects revenue growth, but that it will be slow. We've written before on how it's planning on cornering mobile advertising as its main revenue booster. These user numbers a new Pew/Knight study out this week help its argument.
Even though Facebook dwarfs Twitter in the number of users (Facebook's at more than one billion to Twitter's 200 million), the study shows those who consume news on Twitter are younger, better educated and more mobile than Facebook news consumers. That's a huge selling point for Twitter in its bid to lure advertisers.Pew and Knight note:
"Mobile devices are a key point of access for these Twitter news consumers. The vast majority, 85%, get news (of any kind) at least sometimes on mobile devices. That outpaces Facebook news consumers by 20 percentage points; 64% of Facebook news consumers use mobile devices for news. The same is true of 40% of all U.S. adults overall, according to the survey.
Twitter news consumers stand out for being younger and more educated than both the population overall and Facebook news consumers.
Close to half, 45%, of Twitter news consumers are 18-29 years old. That is more than twice that of the population overall (21%) and also outpaces young adults' representation among Facebook news consumers, where 34% are 18-29 years old. Further, just 2% of Twitter news consumers are 65 or older, compared with 18% of the total population and 7% of Facebook news consumers."
The study is based on survey data and a multi-year data analysis of tweets around news events.
That this group relies on Twitter as a "second screen" during major news events means Twitter can promise advertisers an "in" to target certain groups at moments they're paying attention. The mobile-first behavior also plays well into the company's revenue plan, as it recently acquired MoPub, the world's largest mobile ad exchange, as a way to sell mobile ads that target their dedicated users based on data that Twitter has collected from them.
For more on Twitter's business prospects, check out Joe Hagan's piece from New York Magazine, or Will Oremus, in Slate.
