One of the most interesting things I have learned from researching my topic are the eight limbs of yoga, according to Patanjali. The eight limbs are Yama, Nizama, Asana, Pranyama, Pratyhara, Dharna, Dhyana, and Samadhi. Each are correlated with how to perform yoga to a degree that will effect you mentaly and physically. 1. Yama- ethics, restraint and ahimsa 2. Niyama- cleanliness, ascetism, etc. 3. Asana- posture 4. Pranyama- breath-control 5. Pratyahara- sense-withdrawl 6. Dharna- concentration 7. Dhyana- meditation and 8. Samadhi- oneness in quality of jivaatma and Paramatma with Pranava of the Ishvara.

In my English class we are studying various topics of our choosing and gathering data to form into a full paper. I have chosen to discuss Yogis, or male yoga students. We just recently took time to find articles on anything realted to our topic, I found one on sciencedirect.com by Marian Garfinkel and Ralph Schumacher entitled "YOGA" very fitting. I learned some interesting things after reading this article, some of the information I gathered is as follows. One interesting thing I learned is that Patanjali was an Indian sage known as "The Father of Yoga" and that according to him, yoga is "that which restrains the thought process and makes the mind serene." and secondly another interesting fact is that the word 'hatha' can be broken down into two other words 'ha' or 'sun and 'tha', 'moon' and the way hatha yoga is described is "the union of the pairs of opposites." This is very fascinating information, the information I stated and all the other ones I found will certainly be used somewhere in my essay.

I was born in the USA, my heritage is Bolivian on my fathers side, and European on my mothers side, but we are not sure about what country. I grew up in Iowa so we did not speak spanish in our home, my mother didn't know spanish either. my Grandma is 98 years old, she and my father are full-blooded Bolivians. I went to college at the University of Iowa for a BFA in Art ,Painting. I went to the University of Illinois at Chicago for my MFA degree in Art, multi-media. I taught college Art for several years before moving to NYC. When I arrived here I became a teacher right away teaching Math, there was a shortage of Math teachers at that time and my undergraduate minor was Math. After a few years as a math teacher I began to teach Technology and Art. I learned a lot about Technology as the years went on and was able to share this with my students. Many of my former students keep in touch now that they are college, one of my multi-media students is at The School of Visual Arts in Manhattan, and another is becoming a Math teacher at Hunter college and is already student teaching at another TYWLS school!

Games: fun vs. boring
by Kara

Not all games are the same. Some are  played for fun and to be able to do something enjoyable during free time. Others seem to be designed to let people know what's going on in the world. While some are played simply for educational reasons. Whatever game it is, the goals are always the same: to gain interest of something for people. it is also to have people understand certain things that are harder to understand in the real world. sometimes you can learn in the virtual world better in school or at home.

     It seems to me that nowadays people are living for longer than ever. People are staying active and healthy well over retirement age. Whether or not this is a result of better health care, or reflective of a change in lifestyle is up for debate. I personally think that new research on the benefits of staying active are helping to convince our society to get involved.
