Is Yoga asana a kind of building of one's own machine re Linus Torvalds' observation below ... To Hardware_Resource_Possibilities http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Hardware_Resource_Possibilities
I used to think that I was good at building my own machines. I may have to re-think that.

I've pretty much always put together my own hardware, originally because it was cheaper to build your own system (which hasn't been true for a while now), and lately mainly because I end up having somewhat odd hardware - I've had access to development boards from Intel etc, so my machines tend to be these Frankenstein's monsters of random parts put together.

But recently I decided that I'd want to upgrade to a Skylake CPU and get rid of all my legacy stuff in favor of just a M.2 NVMe SSD. No more silly DVD drives, no more SATA disks.

And it turns out you can only take your Frankenstein hardware so far. My old power supply I was getting a bit suspicious of, and decided to finally upgrade for a fanless one, and my lovely old case with sound dampening panels didn't have USB3 ports, and honestly, without any rotational media the sound dampening probably didn't matter that much any more.

So I decided to pretty much upgrade everything. Go for really quiet fans etc. I went so far as even upgrade my mouse, because while I enjoy my Logitech MX Anywhere mouse, I decided that if I'm upgrading my machine, I'm getting the MX 2 Anywhere that is rechargeable rather than changing batteries every two months or whatever.

I'm now on week two of my upgrade, simply because I'm so completely disorganized. Just putting the machine together took something like four hours, because I noticed much too late that I couldn't actually mount the nice big (and quiet) fan with the motherboard in place, so I had to disassemble it all again and start from scratch, and in the meantime I misplaced one of the hex nuts for the fan.

And that was after I had delayed the build by several days just because I hadn't realized the USB issue with my old case, and then hadn't gotten a fan with my CPU, and...

But it's all good now. Almost. The mouse should arrive tomorrow, and my new machine should finally be all ready. I'm already using it with the old mouse, and refusing to change batteries despite the warning red light. It can damn well last one more day.

But next time I might just decide to go and get a pre-packaged machine rather than think I'm competent with hardware. Because I clearly am not.

Let's stay in touch about such great course ware since there isn't nearly enough of it yet at MIT OCW, as you'll see here - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Archaeology - for an undergraduate major or Ph.D. in archaeology, with only 5 courses at MIT OCW (http://search.mit.edu/search?site=ocw&client=mit&getfields=*&output=xml_no_dtd&proxystylesheet=http%3A%2F%2Focw.mit.edu%2Fsearch%2Fgoogle-ocw.xsl&requiredfields=WT%252Ecg_s%3ACourse+Home|WT%252Ecg_s%3AResource+Home&sectionlimit=WT%252Ecg_s%3ACourse+Home|WT%252Ecg_s%3AResource+Home&as_dt=i&oe=utf-8&departmentName=web&filter=0&courseName=&q=archaeology&btnG.x=19&btnG.y=9) - and no archaeology department! CC WUaS will also focus on digital/virtual archaeology, and in many languages, of which you're one of the world's leading faculty experts.

कुछ प्रश्न:

बाहर से आने वाले मुग़ल और अन्य आक्रमणकारी सुल्तानों के बारे में दावा किया जाता है लिखित इतिहास में, कि उन्होंने भारत में अपने देशों की अद्भुत चित्रकला और वास्तुकला का विस्तार किया, भिन्न-भिन्न स्थान पर इमारतें इत्यादि बना कर। इस विषय में कुछ प्रश्न:

१) क्या वे अपने साथ कारीगरों की फौजें लेकर आये थे जिन्होंने यह बड़ी बड़ी इमारतें खड़ी कर दीं?
२) यदि वह कला सचमुच में उनके देश की थी तो उसके समान कोई इमारत वहां क्यों नहीं मिलती?
३) उनके आने से पहले क्या भारत में कोई भी भव्य इमारत नहीं थी? यदि थी तो वे कहाँ गयीं?

इन प्रश्नों के उत्तर हम सब जानते हैं, किन्तु फिर भी कोई कुछ नहीं बोलता क्यों कि राष्ट्रपिता गांधी ने हमें किसी का दिल न दुखाने का आदेश दिया था, और हम आज तक उसे निभाते आ रहे हैं, चाहे उसका मूल्य हमारा आत्मसम्मान ही क्यों न हो।

अब तो न गांधी रहे, न उनके नाम की सरकार, अब वह समय आ गया है कि हम अपनी संस्कृति को उचित नाम से पहचानें, अपने सम्मान को पुनः प्राप्त करें। आइये हम सब मिल कर एक अनुरोध करें सरकार से कि वे हमारे मंदिरों को मुक्त कराएं और अन्य प्राचीन स्मारकों, जैसे की ध्रुव-स्तम्भ (क़ुतुब-मीनार), तेजोमहालय (ताज-महल) आदि को भी उनकी प्राचीन पहचान उपलब्ध कराएं।

How would one of the bear trainers in this compound explain this bear's behavior? Is the person in the cube provoking him/her by videoing the bear, and is the bear trying to change this situation?

The first photo is captioned:

'Bud Cockrell (a friend of Ted Brown's since the late 1950s and his student too), Alden Briscoe (my first cousin once removed), Sandy MacLeod (my brother) in the house that Ted Brown built at Wisdom Creek Ranch in eastern Oregon between Union and Medical Springs.'

A third state of consciousness?  This article describes something I have heard before - that it is not our nature to sleep in a single eight hour shift, but rather in two shorter sessions of different kinds of sleep, with a kind of third state of consciousness between the two.

I have been in that third state - but not very often - perhaps once a year.   In it, I am awake - even alert in a way - but don't really care about anything.  I usually walk outside.  I can still think, but more slowly - it is hard to describe.

This article describes how to conjure this state.   Not something I can do in my life at the moment, but it is going on the bucket list.

May add to ... the "Economics" and "Meditation" wiki subjects at WUaS ... http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Meditation ...
This article does an excellent job of explaining an important idea of economics. Say there's a shortage of something that people want, such as water. There are two basic ways to allocate it: using market mechanisms, by raising the price of the scarce good, or using control mechanisms, by saying "OK, everyone gets this much, and that's it."

You often hear it said that "markets are efficient," and that's true: market mechanisms allocate resources far more efficiently than control mechanisms. (In control mechanisms, some people get more than they want, some people get less than they want, and nobody can trade, so pretty much everyone ends up unhappy.) However, there's another side to this, which is fairly obvious if you think about it: if you try to distribute water by raising its price, then the poor have to cut down on their usage, but the rich, for whom the change in price matters less, don't.

The reason for this is what's called the "declining marginal utility of money" -- that is, if you have a million dollars, $100 is no big deal, but if you're living paycheck-to-paycheck, the same $100 means rather a lot.

In particular, markets are very efficient at distributing dollars and water, using the principle that how much people are willing to spend on something is a good indicator of how much they want it -- but when the dollars themselves aren't distributed uniformly, they can be very bad at distributing happiness (or to be technical, what economists call "utility") and water.

What this means in practice is that price-based distribution systems work well in highly equal societies, but increasingly poorly in unequal societies. What this means is that in an unequal society, you're stuck with two lousy options for distributing resources, pricing and control, neither of which efficiently distribute resources. Reducing that inequality increases the efficiency of markets. (Which, as any economist will tell you, ends up making everybody richer -- inefficiencies are resources which we simply lose to stupidity)

In what ways might this be yoga? Yoga as ecology? 
And now I want to share with you one of the most interesting short videos I've seen in a while. It's about the idea of trophic cascades: how a small change to an ecosystem can lead to tremendous consequences. In this case, the change was the reintroduction of wolves to Yellowstone in the 1990's, after a 70-year absence.

The direct effects of the wolves were small: the wolves eat a few deer, but apart from that mostly keep to themselves. But the indirect effects were huge.

It started because the deer, who had been running roughshod over the entire park, quickly figured out that places like valleys were not good places to be a deer when there are wolves about. This led to trees being able to grow in those areas for the first time in decades.

The effects of that are complex and profound, and I encourage you to watch the video, because I can't possibly summarize it better than it does. Everything from the animals to the plants to the very physical geography of the rivers was changed.

The key lesson of this is that ecosystems are connected. You can't make a single change to one and expect it not to have consequences, including very far-reaching ones of a sort you couldn't ever have predicted. This is a general property of all large, strongly-interacting systems, including societies, and it's worth keeping in mind whenever things change.

Zephyr across the plains' grasses: The ecology of breathing, of steadiness or calmness, of the bodymind, via bagpiping and Yoga, Breathing is a fascinating approach to learning, Music and the neurophysiology of bliss vis-a-vis breathing In bagpiping, I've recently become newly aware of the ecology of breathing, of steadiness or calmness, of the bodymind, of knowing the tunes ... (For example, if your breathing, reflecting your bodymind, isn't steady because you haven't learned how to breathe by building stamina or 'control,' because the instrument's reeds are a little challenging, the tunes don't flow; similarly, if the tunes are challenging, this becomes reflected in the breathing and bodymind expressions, such as fingering. All of this are expressions of the ecology of breathing when bagpiping, involving learning a code or symbols - the notes - as well). These are all things yoga offers ways to learn, too, in a different way ... as well as the neurophysiology of bliss. {I get to bliss more fulsomely and readily with musical tones, than I do with yoga}. Breathing is a fascinating approach to learning ... and its 'ecology' is particularly fascinating ... ... in some ways, this is a reflection of getting the 'flow' experiences (absorbed mind, challenge at the right level, per Csikszentmihalyi) right with bliss as a goal ... with an invitation to wiki teach and learn about the ecology of breathing here at the Yoga page {and breathing pages to come} at WUaS ... http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Yoga ...

On New Year's Eve, after finding these yoga poses for a plugged ear on the web - http://www.livestrong.com/article/481665-yoga-for-a-plugged-ear/ - I practiced them, and with the hips higher than the head in the first, two, restorative poses (Viparita Karani - 'lake' pose, and Setubandha Sarvangasana - 'bridge' pose), I observed an immediate change two days in a row, with the pressure / stuff in my inner ears moving down and backwards. I don't usually put my body in these positions otherwise, so I was glad to find this, try the positions, and see change, - which seems like they would work with the bodymind, as it heals itself. Nothing else I've tried thus far has predictably changed my inner ear pressure. Interesting and beneficial!

In what ways can and will World University and School develop its online, Creative Commons' licensed, MIT OCW High School-centric, International Baccalaureate (I.B. - http://www.ibo.org/) schools in the six United Nations' languages (Arabic, Chinese-Mandarin, English, French, Russian, and Spanish) and probably Portuguese and possibly Swahili, to begin, to be innovative and fun, in the way teenagers enjoy ... http://ocw.mit.edu/high-school/ ... http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/WUaS_International_Baccalaureate_Diploma_and_Programme ... and in a way which potential students like Kelvin Doe from Sierra Leone, Africa, may benefit from and enjoy immensely?

Bathtub, or shower, yoga can be so nice to explore on one's own, for the tranquility of the relaxation response in warm water; ... and so many benefits come for simply doing~practicing~playing with yoga movement (especially when it's pleasurable / enjoyable yogasana), - and for such a low cost. Lotus in your bathtub! :)

If yoga consciousness is about tranquility, and the relaxation response is learnable, eliciting the relaxation response in body-temperature, warm water, - in your bathtub, for example, - can open new approaches to learning tranquility in your bodymind. Asana can facilitate wondrous bodymind, neurophysiological soups, as well ~ Lotus in your bathtub!

... curious about generating 'la belle vie' - the good life, as culture, and which you can feel, vis-a-vis French milieus and language ... and perhaps vis-a-vis yoga, as well, {esp.

Hearing Narayan Desai, who had long, direct contact with Gandhi himself, is impressive and inspiring. I heard him yesterday at UC Berkeley's iSchool, and he speaks from his experience/heart. (I find the salutary effects of Hindu culture fascinating, in many ways, anyway). There are two + subjects with themes related to what he talks about: Ahimsa - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Ahimsa_-_Nonviolence_-_Pacifism_-_To_avoid_harming - and Peace and Social Justice Studies - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Peace_and_Social_Justice_Studies ... with an invitation to hear him (he's speaking at the Berkeley Friends' Meeting House tomorrow, 4/12), and to 'edit a page' at WUaS. (WUaS is like Wikipedia with MIT Open Course Ware).
