plz i need some one who can give me hints on what yoga is all about have heard bout it but ive got no idea bout what it is. can anyone in the house help me out.

Developed in India, Yoga is a psycho-physical discipline with roots going back more than 5,000 years. Today, most Yoga practices in the West focus on the physical postures called asanas, breathing exercises called pranayama, and some form of relaxation. There's more to Yoga than that, and the deeper you go, the richer and more diverse the tradition becomes. The word "Yoga" means union. Linguistically, it is related to the Old English "yoke." These days the focus of the practice is often on the more down-to-earth benefits of Yoga, including improved physical fitness, mental clarity, greater self-understanding, stress control and general well-being. Some students say it enhances their spirituality. The beauty of Yoga is in its versatility, allowing students to focus on the physical, psychological or spiritual, or a combination of all three. It is solely your choice as you develop your own practice.
How many types of Yoga are there?

There are four paths of Yoga
1. Jnana, the path of knowledge or wisdom
2. Bhakti, the path of devotion
3. Karma, the path of action
4. Raja, the path of self control

Hatha Yoga, which includes postures and breathing, and is the form most popular in the West and like this class, is actually part of Raja Yoga, the path of self control. The path most followed in India is thought to be Bhakti Yoga, the path of devotion. Within Hatha Yoga there are many styles, such as Iyengar, Astanga, Integral, and Kripalu, to name a few.
Has it been "proved" that Yoga is good for you?

Yes. Western science has been studying Yoga for nearly 50 years, and the evidence shows numerous physical and psychological benefits from Yoga. Interestingly, there seems to be something about Yoga -- vs. exercise and controlled breathing -- that is beneficial.
What's the difference between Yoga and just plain stretching and normal exercise?

Traditional exercise is goal oriented: How many push ups can I do? Can I touch my toes? I'm going to do 10 more crunches today than I did yesterday. Yoga, by contrast, is a process with no goal. The idea is to focus your awareness on what you are doing now and how you feel as you perform the postures. In exercise, you fail if you miss your goal. In Yoga, you succeed simply by learning to "be present" in the moment.
How many times a week should I do Yoga and for how long?

Most schools teach a practice session that lasts 60-90 minutes. If you can do that everyday -- great. If not, try and do that much a few days a week, including a class or two, and fill in with shorter sessions on days when you don't have as much time. Any Yoga is better than no Yoga, and even 15 to 20 minutes a day is better than 90 minutes once a week.

Hello nairaland users, i want to know what aloevera can be used for because i planted some in my garden

The aloe vera plant has been used since ancient times for healing infection and burns. With a high water content of nearly 96%, the aloe vera plant has been hailed as a medicinal plant with many a beneficial property.

Aloe Vera can be used to heal both internally and externally. It greatly speeds the healing of many skin injuries, including ulcerations, burns, hives and poison ivy and also acts as a laxative.

A child is not a property that you own like a piece of furniture.

Where Can I Convert VHS to DVD?
Anyone in the house to my rescue?
I guess an idea of the price would be nice.

It's about $20

or you can do it yourself: http://www.prosoft3d.com/videoconverter/

There are a few methods to convert VHS to DVD:

- Capture the VHS video to a computer video editing program using an analog-to-DV converter (which includes many DV/Digital8 camcorders as well as standalone analog-to-DV converters), encode it to MPEG-2 and author a DVD, This is the most time-consuming method but it gives you the flexibility to edit the video as much as you want, adding transitions, special effects, music, etc. But, between the capture time, the editing time and the often considerable time it takes for software encoding to MPEG-2, this can result in several hours of work for your computer - and you - for each hour of video.

- Capture the video to the computer as MPEG-2 using hardware capture devices that convert the VHS to MPEG-2 as they capture and then author and burn a DVD. A one-hour video is captured and compressed to MPEG-2 in one hour, but you are generally limited to doing "cuts-only" editing of the MPEG-2 files. However, if your original tape doesn't need editing this is a fast way to convert VHS to DVD, but still have the flexibility to create custom DVD menus. Many of the inexpensive hardware analog-to-MPEG boxes can deliver very good quality, in part because the analog source video does not have to be converted to DV before being encoded to MPEG. Converting VHS to DV can add artifacts that make it harder to get good MPEG compression.

- Connect your VHS VCR or camcorder to a standalone DVD recorder that works much like a VCR. This VHS to DVD recorder basically gives you a DVD copy of your tape in real time. You don't have a lot of flexibility as far as menus, buttons and chapter settings, but it's the fastest and easiest way to convert VHS to DVD. If you get a "DVD VCR" with Firewire connections you can plug a DV/Digital8/DVCAM camcorder or VCR into it and transfer the tapes to DVD at even higher quality than by using the analog connections.

No matter which method you use, you need to ensure that the analog video has the highest quality possible: flaws in the original video may be greatly magnified when you encode it to MPEG-2 and convert it to DVD.

Some points to keep in mind for better quality DVD's:

Clean the tape heads on your analog VCR or camcorder. Older tapes, especially, can deposit a lot of residue on the heads, resulting in dropouts and other picture flaws.

- If your VHS VCR has a sharpness control, turn it down. A softer image has less noise and that enables the MPEG-2 encoder to do a much better job. Some tape players also have an "Edit" button which affects playback sharpness. Put it in the position that provides less sharpness.

- Connect a video processor to the output of your analog tape player and then connect the output of the processor to your capture device. So-called "proc amps" and timebase correctors (TBC's) provide tools for stabilizing analog video, changing brightness and contrast levels and adjusting color. Just being able to adjust levels and color can result in a DVD that looks much better than the original VHS tape.

- If your want to convert Hi8 and 8mm to DVD, one of the best ways to import it into your computer is with a Digital 8 camcorder. Several models of D8 camcorders can playback analog tapes and convert them to DV and have built in digital noise reduction and TBC's to clean up the analog video before it's converted to DV and sent to your computer via the Firewire cable.

- If you transfer two hours of VHS to a DVD it can result in a significant loss of quality unless you have a high quality MPEG-2 encoder or use methods that encode the video at "half resolution." The normal DVD video resolution is 720x480 for NTSC, but some encoders and DVD authoring programs allow you to use 352x480 resolution. When you convert VHS to DVD this smaller resolution can still deliver very good results at the low data rates (bitrates) required to fit two or more hours of video on one DVD, especially if you use an analog-to-MPEG2 encoder or a standalone VHS to DVD recorder that bypasses the analog-to-DV step.

- Try to use compressed audio on your DVD's. Uncompressed - PCM - audio takes up a lot of space on the DVD that could better be used for higher-quality video. Dolby Digital/AC3 is the best choice for audio compression.

A warning: if you do convert your analog video to DV before putting it on DVD, don't be shocked when you see the size of the DV file it captures to your computer. DV files take up almost 14 gigabytes per hour and at least once a week I answer a question from someone who wants to know how in the world they're supposed to fit a 14GB movie on a 4.7GB DVD? That's what the MPEG-2 encoder does: it compresses the video to a much smaller size so that video, audio and menus all fit on a DVD (which actually holds 4.37GB of computer data).

If the analog-to-DV option sounds likes the best one for getting your video into the computer when you start to transfer VHS to dvd and you don't already own a DV camcorder or one of the analog-to-DV converter, I recommend getting a DV camcorder with analog inputs instead of simple converter box. The DV camcorder will allow you to save your edited projects back to tape as a high quallity DV master and, you will have something to shoot new video in the DV format. Some DV camcorders cost only slightly more than a converter. If you have a lot of old Hi8 or 8mm tapes, then consider purchasing a Digital8 camcorder with analog inputs and the ability to playback those older analog 8 tapes. In addition to "analog inputs," some camcorders also advertise "analog pass through." This means that the analog signal does not have to first be recorded to DV tape before being sent down the Firewire cable as DV. This can save plenty of time and tape if you plan to do a lot of VHS to DVD conversion.

Just bumping this up cos I'm interested in the responses.

I need some professional advice .I just recovered from Typhoid after spending 3 days in the hospital. i have been experiencing slight headache early in the morning when i get to my office.
What can i do?

This is one of the symptoms of High Blood Pressure.

Please see your doc ASAP. In the meantime, eat foods low in sodium and rich in potassium and magnesium, it can help manage normal blood pressure.

All the info you need is on efax.com. If they don't take paypal, you can't use paypal. Credit card is probably your only option.

But do you know that you can get a free fax number from efax to send fax twice and receive faxes for free?

How about a booth that provides solar power cell phone charging for a fee. I came across these:

There are many more high end stand alone solar powered cell phone chargers online. Google for more.

I use USPS to ship stuff to 9ja from USA. Cheaper than all those other couriers you mentioned. It is slower and my goods always arrive.

@ nikinash, Great info.

Can you cite your source? (meaning post the website you copied the information from. thanks)

Try Atkins or The South Beach Diet for two weeks to jump start your diet and take it from there. Remember 3500 calories equal ONE POUND of weight. If you reduce your caloric intake by 7000 per week, you will lose 2 pounds per week. Don't rush anything, just take it gradually. You will achieve your ideal weight.

fellow Nairaland user,
please help my girl friend she complains of blood gushing out of her private part each time she makes love to a guy. please what can be the cause of this

Here is a similar situation:

Dear TeenHealthFX,

I am a male age 18. My question is if a girl has sex for the first time, and she bleeds, this is normal. But if the girl keeps having sex, and keeps bleeding, and you were not her first, then is it due to penis size, or her capacity? It doesn't even happen every day. Just once in a while, she will bleed. I'm kind of worried about her health. What should I do? She is 18 as well.

Signed: Girlfriend Bleeds Sometimes After Sex



Dear Girlfriend Bleeds Sometimes After Sex,

Unfortunately, TeenHealthFX cannot make diagnoses over the Internet and tell you why your girlfriend occasionally bleeds after intercourse. However, in general, vaginal bleeding that occurs during sexual intercourse should be checked out by a doctor just to make sure everything is ok - your girlfriend is going to need properly functioning sexual organs for the rest of her life, so it's best to find out what is going on now and make sure everything is ok.

In general, most women do not bleed every time they have sex, and a lot of them do not even bleed the first time. However, sometimes excessive irritation to the vagina can lead to a bit of bleeding, and this is completely normal. If your girlfriend does not complain about pain during intercourse then it is unlikely that your penis is overwhelming her vaginal capacity, though particularly vigorous sex can definitely cause a bit of scraping of the vaginal walls, regardless of penis size. In addition, you do not mention whether or not you and your girlfriend practice safer sex but sometimes using condoms without adequate lubrication can be irritating and lead to chafing and bleeding. However, it's important to remember that vaginal bleeding can be a sign of a sexually transmitted disease (STD) or another type of cervical or vaginal infection, which is one of the main reasons that you should encourage your girlfriend to see a doctor for a check-up.

Since your girlfriend is 18 and sexually active, it is a good idea for her to be seeing a gynecologist for annual exams and pap smears even if she weren't experiencing bleeding after intercourse. If she hasn't been before and is a bit nervous about what to expect, you should show her Sexually Active and Wondering About a GYN for an overview of what a typical gynecological exam involves.

I was referring to the people that focus on money, and not Nigeria as a nation. Apparently in Nigeria, most people are focused on poverty (see the condition of the country as proof) guess what, the Universe delivers. Always. He never fails.

We all have it within us to create what we want (no, you cannot create for someone else). Google deliberate creation or Law of Deliberate Creation and see for yourself.


http://www.cleaningoutthecloset.com/pdf/scienceofgettingrich.pdf

Abundance is the natural law of the Universe.

Focus, think and feel you have money, you get more money, it is the law of the Universe. (same goes for health, respect, love, poverty, relationships (no one wants that!))

You are what you think!!! So to answer your question, they are not obsessed. They are just using their natural talent to attract money to them.
