Problem Statement

Convert WowWee TriBot toy robot from Remote IR control, to arduino control.

Purchase WowWee Tribot

WowWee Tribots retail at around $300, Amazon discounts a bit and they sell used from $40 on up.

The robot is officially called the "WowWee Tribot Talking Companion." There is a Wowwee Mini Tri-bot that retails for around $21 that should not be confused with the bigger brother. Online it is hard to tell them apart. The Mini Tri-bot does not ship with universal or Omni wheels, has just one motor and in general is not worth an arduino.

Take off the Arms
The arms are held on by three screws around the arm socket and one screw at the waist. Remove them. The black handle is held on with two screws. Do not remove them. The goal is to keep the arm assembly together as much as possible. There are two screws near the black handle, towards the back near the back IR transmitter and receiver. Remove one of these screws. The split apart the arms. The black handle should hold the shoulders together. There is a white bar that holds the back shoulders together. Replace the last screw removed.

The breast plate is a speaker. There are 3 infared transmitters and 3 receivers. They are used for the "Home" function where the robot follows someone with the remote and are used to avoid collisions. This tutorial does not show how to restore this functionality with the arduino.

Remove torso IR Cables
Remove the white wires that go to the head switch on the torso. Don't remove the switch. Remove the white wires from the switch that plug into the existing controller.

Remove the ribbon cable coming up from the motor controller and the power cable coming up from the motor controller through the torso.

Remove head Cables
There are two ribbon cables and one power cable to the head that need to be removed.

Remove Existing Logic Board
Four screws hold on the existing logic board. The arduino almost fits 2 of the screws. One screw has to be forced in at an angle, but both the Uno and Duemilanove both mount at two points. The arduino is larger than the original logic board. Putting the arms back on over the new arduino like they went over the old logic board is not an option.

Combo Lock Project

Finding Solenoid
The goal was to find a solenoid strong enough to pull the combination lock to see if it is open.

We received two dollar bill changers along with the purchase of an old vending machine. The coin magazine or coin trays were missing so they were unusable. We took one apart and found a great relay in it.

They run from $25 to $30.

The next step was to find a device that could supply .5 (resting) to 5 amps of 60Hz 120 volt power. This was found for $30 at sparkfun.

Hooked it up to 24 volts DC and it had enough power to smash my finger. So it is plenty strong enough.

Dominant group/Political science

"Aristotle defined [political science] as the study of the state. " It is a social science concerned with the study of government and politics. "It deals extensively with the theory and practice of politics, and the analysis of political systems and political behavior."

Dominant group is a two-word term from group theory that identifies an entity of interest.

Politics
Def. "[a] methodology and activities associated with running a government, an organization, or a movement" is called politics.

Def. "maneuvers or diplomacy between people, groups, or organizations, especially involving power, influence or conflict" is called politics.

"Politics ... is the art or science of influencing people's beliefs on a civic, or individual level, when there are more than 2 people involved."

Def. "[a]n organizational structure of the government of a state, church, etc." is called a polity.

Theoretical political science
Def. "[t]he analytical study of public policy and policies, past, present, and prospective" is called political science.

"Political science is a social science discipline concerned with the study of the state, government, and politics. Aristotle defined it as the study of the state. It deals extensively with the theory and practice of politics, and the analysis of political systems and political behavior. Political scientists "see themselves engaged in revealing the relationships underlying political events and conditions, and from these revelations they attempt to construct general principles about the way the world of politics works." Political science intersects with other fields; including economics, law, sociology, history, anthropology, public administration, public policy, national politics, international relations, comparative politics, psychology, political organization, and political theory. Although it was codified in the 19th century, when all the social sciences were established, political science has ancient roots; indeed, it originated almost 2,500 years ago [~2,500 b2k] with the works of Plato and Aristotle. "

"Political science, in rudimentary terms, is the study of power."

Dominant group
Examples from primary sources are to be used to prove or disprove each hypothesis. These can be collected per subject or in general.

 * Accident hypothesis: dominant group is an accident of whatever processes are operating.
 * Artifact hypothesis: dominant group may be an artifact of human endeavor or may have preceded humanity.
 * Association hypothesis: dominant group is associated in some way with the original research.
 * Bad group hypothesis: dominant group is the group that engages in discrimination, abuse, punishment, and additional criminal activity against other groups. It often has an unfair advantage and uses it to express monopolistic practices.
 * Control group hypothesis: there is a control group that can be used to study dominant group.
 * Entity hypothesis: dominant group is an entity within each field where a primary author of original research uses the term.
 * Evolution hypothesis: dominant group is a product of evolutionary processes, such groups are the evolutionary process, produce evolutionary processes, or are independent of evolutionary processes.
 * Identifier hypothesis: dominant group is an identifier used by primary source authors of original research to identify an observation in the process of analysis.
 * Importance hypothesis: dominant group signifies original research results that usually need to be explained by theory and interpretation of experiments.
 * Indicator hypothesis: dominant group may be an indicator of something as yet not understood by the primary author of original research.
 * Influence hypothesis: dominant group is included in a primary source article containing original research to indicate influence or an influential phenomenon.
 * Interest hypothesis: dominant group is a theoretical entity used by scholarly authors of primary sources for phenomena of interest.
 * Metadefinition hypothesis: all uses of dominant group by all primary source authors of original research are included in the metadefinition for dominant group.
 * Null hypothesis: there is no significant or special meaning of dominant group in any sentence or figure caption in any refereed journal article.
 * Object hypothesis: dominant group is an object within each field where a primary author of original research uses the term.
 * Obvious hypothesis: the only meaning of dominant group is the one found in Mosby's Medical Dictionary.
 * Original research hypothesis: dominant group is included in a primary source article by the author to indicate that the article contains original research.
 * Primordial hypothesis: dominant group is a primordial concept inherent to humans such that every language or other form of communication no matter how old or whether extinct, on the verge of extinction, or not, has at least a synonym for dominant group.
 * Purpose hypothesis: dominant group is written into articles by authors for a purpose.
 * Regional hypothesis: dominant group, when it occurs, is only a manifestation of the limitations within a region. Variation of those limitations may result in the loss of a dominant group with the eventual appearance of a new one or none at all.
 * Source hypothesis: dominant group is a source within each field where a primary author of original research uses the term.
 * Term hypothesis: dominant group is a significant term that may require a 'rigorous definition' or application and verification of an empirical definition.

Democracies
"[B]ecause political democracies generally arise from a compromise between contending organized elites that are unstable to impose their will unilaterally or the unilateral action of one dominant group, usually the armed forces, this does not bode well for democratization in situations in which the armed forces are inextricably tied to the interests of a dominant (and antidemocratic) agrarian class."

Ethnicity
"Ethnic and racial politics and the “hidden” nature of dominant group identity continue to preclude examination of dominant group ethnicity by social scientists."

"States' politics and policies are products of the cooperation, competition, and/or conflict between and among dominant and subordinant (minority) groups, not only of the dominant group(s) within a state (Key 1949; Blalock 1970; Burnham 1974; Giles and Evans 1986)."

"In numerous nationalisms, the ethnic identity of the dominant group is privileged as the core of imagined community (18, 27, 36, 36b, 50, 53, 77a, 88, 119a, 144)."

Feminism
"Consequently, they do not reflect on the challenges to the speaker's agenda and conceptual scheme created when marginalized women can structure the research or political agenda rather than only 'appear' in feminist agendas constructed by dominant group women."

Fieldworks
"Within the community, many individuals felt that having attained their individual compensation the battle was over; there was no continued obligation to extend the human rights project and, more disturbingly, the settlement justified their growing sense of belonging to the dominant group."

Minority threats
"In contexts where the threat posed by a minority group is high, the dominant group's response is predicted to be more hostile than in contexts where that threat is low."

Political participations
"It involves the acceptance of the belief that fundamental differences exist between the interests of one's own group and those of the dominant group."

"Esman asserts that regimes committed to the dominance of one communal group at the expense of another (or others) will "always use three methods of conflict management": 1) proscribe or closely control the political expression of collective interest among dominated groups, 2) prohibit entry by members of dominated groups into the dominant community, and 3) provide monopoly or preferential access for members of the dominant group to political participation, advanced education, economic opportunities, and symbols of status such as official language, the flag, national heroes, and holidays, which reinforce the political, economic, and psychic control of the dominant group." "Esman emphasizes that, though "basically coercive ..., a network of controls for maintaining hegemony is often highly sophisticated and deeply institutionalized."" "Control is a concept that plays a central role in the study of many political phenomena, but only one body of theory and empirical evidence has significantly influenced the study of control relations in deeply divided societies, namely, that associated with the study of overseas European imperialism."

Powers
"[T]he power of a dominant group lies in its ability to control constructions of reality that reinforce its own status so that subordinate groups accept the social order and their own place in it."

"[A] group is dominant if it possesses a disproportionate share of societal resources, privileges, and power."

"Racial boundaries reflect relations of power, in particular the ability of the dominant group to construct and impose definitions upon others."

Hegemony is the ""political, economic, ideological or cultural power exerted by a dominant group over other groups, regardless of the explicit consent of the latter" (Upton et al. 2001)."

The League of Nations failed to achieve “corporate unity to overcome the conflicts of nationalistic interest within the dominant group of the Great Powers.”

"[W]hat is significant for this analysis is that these challenging paradigms (reflecting the increased political power of historically dominated peoples) have focused upon subordinate group victimization and resistance or dominant group mechanisms of oppression".

"For purposes of this analysis, I define a dominant ethnic group as the ethnic group in a society that exercises power to create and maintain a pattern of economic, political, and institutional advantage, which in turn results in the unequal (disproportionately beneficial to the dominant group) distribution of resources."

Recognitions
"They claim, in effect, that “it's the economy, stupid.” Conversely, some proponents of the politics of recognition, such as Charles Taylor (1994), insist that a difference-blind politics of redistribution can reinforce injustice by falsely universalizing dominant group norms, requiring subordinate groups to assimilate to them, and misrecognizing the latters' distinctiveness."

Rights
"As I have argued at length elsewhere, the political Right in the United States has been very successful in mobilizing support against the educational system and its employees, often placing responsibility for the crisis in the economy on the schools. Thus, one of its major achievements has been to shift the blame for unemployment and underemployment, for the loss of economic competitiveness, and for the supposed breakdown of traditional values and standards in the family, education, and paid and unpaid work places from the economic, cultural, and social policies and effects of dominant groups to the school and other public agencies."

Withdrawals
"[W]hen the dominant group loses influence or withdraws-as occurred with the departure of colonial powers- ethnic competition may ensue among the remaining groups, for instance, Ibo, Hausa, and Yoruba in Nigeria; African and Asian (as well as between various tribes) in Uganda; Chinese and Malay in Malaysia; and Hindu and Sikh (as well as Moslem) in India."

Hypotheses

 * 1) Politics is a deliberate creation of a dominant group to maintain and secure power for themselves.

User:Vanished user adhmfdfmykrdyr/Sport work on WMF/2

Wikipedia does not allow for original research, depending on other people to cover a topic to demonstrate notability and the research for what we cite. This means there are some constrainents when trying to cover a topic like sports for Wikipedia in person, and trying to get press credentials to get additional access to improve Wikipedia coverage. If you're willing to work for it though, there are plenty of opportunities.

When deciding to cover a live event like sport, plan in advance. What articles on English Wikipedia do you want to work on related to the event? What pictures are you trying to get? Are you going to write something for Wikinews? Are you going to work on a related article on Wikisource or Wiktionary?

Once you've identified the content you want to create or improve, establish some goals related to this content before you attend the event or try to get press credentials. These goals could include getting a featured picture, improving articles to nominate for DYK or Good Article, getting the article published on Wikinews, getting a featured movie on Commons. The goals should be realistic and based on what you have successfully done before: if you are talking to an organisation about getting media access, you can point to your previous successes. Do not promise what you cannot deliver.

Another task you need to do is see if you need permission and any restrictions there are related to the event. In Australia, there is freedom of panorama and it applies to sporting events. This means, I can usually attend a sporting event and take pictures to my heart's content. Some places ask you do not use flash. Some places require you register with them before they allow you into the venue before you are allowed in with a camera. If you want to set up something special, you may need to pre-plan and work with them to accommodate your needs.

In talking to organisations you're seeking press credentials from, it helps to explain how giving you access can help them with their goals. At the same time, you need to be clear that you need to comply with Wikimedia policies. You can explain that high quality pictures can improve the feel of the article, and discuss with them the copyright issues as to why you need to take the pictures instead of them giving you pictures to use under a fair use rationale. If you have experience with Did You Know, you can explain this to them but always be extremely careful to say there is no guarantee that this will happen. If you're covering a less popular Olympic related sport, you can show them other articles you have improved and suggest that media occasionally plagiarises Wikipedia so having a high quality article makes it easier for journalists to quickly access high quality information about the competitor, team or league. Explain article page views and how traditional media disappears but Wikipedia articles do not. Always be careful when talking to organisations to be extremely clear the article must be written in a neutral point of view, be fully sourced and may not always make them look good. This way, they can see the benefits and understand that there are certain expectations for what you can do that they may not like.

As you're planning to covering a live event, it is worthwhile to reach out to others for assistance. See if your local Wikimedia Chapter has funding to help defray travel costs or equipment costs related to the event. Consider hosting a meetup around the event to get more people to help cover the event. If you do not have a photographer, see if you can locate some one who can take pictures for you. If you have not written for Wikinews before, see if you can find a local reporter to help. If you have written for Wikinews, see if you can find some one who will volunteer to review your article in advance. Ask participants on a Wikiproject to help you edit articles before and after the event. These things will help bring additional people in to improve the volume and quality of content you can create around an event.

Below are some examples of work I have been involved with to give an idea of how issues related to covering a live event.

Australia women's national water polo team
The Australia women's national water polo team are going to the 2012 Summer Olympics. in the lead up to the Games, they played a test series in Canberra. I learned about the series by reading the local newspaper. About a week before the event, I was visiting the Australian Institute of Sport and met some one connected with the team who was aware of my earlier work with the Australian Paralympic. I asked if I could get permission to take photographs of the individual members of the team for use on English Wikipedia because they make the make the articles look a lot better. The person suggested I e-mail some one inside their organisation. I did, and that person suggested I speak with them before the first match. I did, and was then pointed at another person. After talking to several people, I was able to arrange a time before a test match where I would be able to take pictures of the team. The team would be told why pictures would be taken and they would wear their official AIS polo shirts. I would have approximately 5 to 10 minutes for this. After confirming this date, I found a photographer with a high quality camera to come in and take these pictures. They were assisted by some grant funding from Wikimedia Australia to cover this.

After I realised I had permission to take these pictures, I got help from another Wikipedia contributor and we created articles about every single player with a goal of making sure the players could all pass Wikipedia's General Notability Guidelines. We aimed to take all the articles to Wikipedia's Did You Know.

Going into the photography session, we did not have much time or freedom for how to take pictures. The easiest way to do it was take pictures against a blue wall in the pool area. We had a list of player names. I wrote down the order we took the player pictures in and the photographer, a Commons contributor from Wagga, took the pictures. We said one or two things to the players to be clear we knew something about them because the local press has a reputation for not being prepared. We also learned from the players that had articles, they knew about articles and were generally not impressed.

Following the session, we also took pictures and video of that test match and took pictures from other games, paying $2 to get admission. We wrote a Wikinews article summarizing the test series. We finished improving the articles and nominated them for DYK. We also improved a few articles to get them ready for Good Article nominations. All articles appeared as DYK and three articles have since been assessed as Good.

When the vast majority of the work was done, we published all the national team water polo articles as a book using PediaPress and gave a copy of the book to the water polo people in appreciation for the access they gave us. People connected to the organisation have subsequently sent us team updates and we have published another article about the team on Wikinews. A copy of the book has been ordered for the collection at the National Sport Information Centre.

Canberra Capitals
The Canberra Capitals happened to be playing in Canberra on the weekend that RecentChangesCamp Canberra was being held. As a fan, I wanted to attend. Two Commons photographers were at the camp and neither had really done sports before. We invited them and two others along. (We had six tickets, paying about $20 a ticket.) They took pictures. Our photographers had rather nice cameras. They were able to freely wander the stands and take pictures with out anyone stopping them or questioning what they were doing. They stood really close to the court and were rarely in their seats. We were going to write a Wikinews article about the game but things got in the way. Instead, we ended up creating or improving articles about all members of the Canberra Capitals 2011/2012 team. We then took all these articles to DYK. This was later mentioned to the Capitals, and they tweeted about this work at one point. As a fan, I also found it useful later in the season because I could check Wikipedia during the game to be reminded of their player's history.

Australia women's national softball team
Having successfully done water polo, I decided to try to do softball after reading about them playing a test series against Japan in the lead up to the World Championships later this year. First, I reached out to a contact I have at the AIS who did not know anyone. I then tried e-mailing the Softball Australia people. I did not get a response back. I asked some one in the Canberra sport community for how to contact some one and they suggested give it time. I'm not keen on that particular type of advice so I decided to visit the Hawker International Softball Centre to try to get in touch with Softball ACT with the hopes they would be able to help me. The first time I did this, the facility was not open but I did confirm the event was going to be held. I showed up during normal office hours and got a hold of the CEO of Softball ACT who was very helpful. I got pointed in the right direction, and again went through trying to get in touch with the right person to try to get pictures of team members.

In the end, permission was given to shadow the official team photographers during their photoshoot. I again arranged a photographer from Commons to help with this. When we got there on the day of the shoot, our permission to shadow had not been conveyed to the photographers so we politely explained exactly what we wanted to do, promised to not block or steal their shots, and promised to keep out of their way as they have about eight hours of work to accomplish in only two hours. The photographers were fantasticalyl nice and we got pictures of all the players.

For this test series, I also set up a meetup for one of the games because admission was free. While attending other matches in the series, I interviewed several people and wrote Wikinews articles based on these conversations and observations. When one of the Wikinews articles had a minor factual problem, the softball people let us know and it was quickly fixed.

At the end of the day, we took every article about members of the squad to DYK, wrote a number of Wikipedia articles about the series and others in attendance and had a meetup. A copy of the articles was put into a book for publishing on PediaPress and it was given to the CEO of Softball ACT in appreciation for his assistance.

Australia women's national basketball team
The Australia women's national basketball team had planned several training camps in Canberra well in advance of the Olympics. The team is one of my favourite and on my list of teams I'd like to see coverage improved for. It is a sport I played as a youngster, a sport I have nominally covered at my university radio station as an undergraduate, and a sport I understand the rules for. I've seen several national team players playing for and against the Canberra Capitals.

My goal was to get media access to a training camp. To do this, I e-mailed three people I knew who had contacts inside Australian sport who might be able to give me access and asked for it, while showing them the other Wikimedia related work I had done. Permission was given through one of these channels after the person cleared it with the coach. I walked through various other channels and got additional assistance in getting the time to show up.

After initial permission was given, I contacted some one inside Wikimedia Australia to get assistance in acquiring a photographer to help me cover the camp and to develop measurable objectives related to covering the event. We also found other funding assistance to help bring in a photographer, who were told they would be expected to submit at least one article for publication to Wikinews. We ended up finding two people who could help us with this. As we had two weeks lead time, we made hotel reservations for our two out of town photographers.

We confirmed with Basketball Australia the time we needed to show up to the media event. This was great as it was the first time I had explicit media related coverage set up before an event started. We took a number of pictures, held an IRC workshop during the camp to assist people in learning to write for Wikinews, and and published two Wikinews articles

Other coverage for Wikimedia sites
Beyond covering things for Wikipedia, I have been involved with two other projects. The first was archery, where I covered the national championships. Going in, the goal was to take pictures of the Australian Olympic archers, to create/improve the articles about the Australian competitors and take them to DYK. (At the same time, I was working on Australia men's national field hockey team. All articles were subsequently taken to DYK but no pictures and no news coverage.  Real life interfered and it was too much work to chase them down.)  At the last minute, an emergency came up which prevented this from happening but Wikinews articles were written, Commons pictures were taken and articles drafts were started in my user space. This should be helpful in the future should the Australians we talked to medal at the Olympics and some one has an interest in creating the articles. I also cannot say enough nice things about the Archery Australia person I talked to and the local archery club in Australia. Admission to the event was free, and I was given press access. All I had to do was pay for my own parking.

Conclusion
When trying to cover sport and other live events, remember the following:

 * 1) Identify the content you want to improve in advance.
 * 2) Set realistic goals for what you can do related to covering the event.
 * 3) Be persistent.  You are there to help people.  There are often ways to cover an event if you do not take no for an answer.
 * 4) Ask for help in preparing articles, to take photographs, to write news articles.

It is possible to get press access as a Wikipedia contributor and use it to improve Wikipedia and related content. Wikimedia Australia is helping us with this goal, as they have gained recognition as a media organisation by the International Paralympic Committee, and with the support of the Australian Paralympic Committee, be sending to Wikimedians to London to cover the 2012 Summer Paralympics for Wikipedia and related projects.

TESOL/Notional-functional approach

The notional-functional approach in ESL is a way of structuring a syllabus around "notions," real-life situations in which people communicate, which are further broken down into "functions," specific aims of communication.

When designing a lesson, teachers in TESOL often choose a real-world situation as their "notion," and choose corresponding functions to teach to prepare students to communicate in that situation in the lesson. For example, a lesson might be about how to buy something at a shop, in which case its notion is shopping and one of its functions might be asking prices.

Functions often lend themselves naturally to specific grammatical patterns or common expressions. In the shopping example, one expression might be the question "how much is this (singular noun)?"

User:Nobody60/Prahlad Jani

In the International Media, The Case of an Indian yogi was discussed, who has lived more than 70 years without food or water.

May 2010
In a hospital in Ahmedabad in the western Indian state of Gujarat had taken care of in the past two weeks about 30 doctors to a Hindu, who said that he more than 70 years neither ate nor drank. A team of doctors has examined the Indian Yogi Prahlad Jani. They found no answer to the question: How does the yogi survive without eating nor drinking for years?

70 years without eating? ‘Starving yogi’ says it’s true. Prahlad Jani, an 83-year-old Indian yogi, is making headlines by claims that for the past 70 years he has had nothing to eat and not one drop of liquid to drink. To test his claims, Indian military doctors put him under round-the-clock observation during a two-week hospital stay that ended last week, news reports say. During that time he didn’t ingest any food or water – and remained perfectly healthy, the researchers said.

The extremely ascetic living, Yogi Prahlad Jani has put his Indian doctors in perplexity. “We still do not know how he survived,” the neurologist Sudhir Shah said after the end of the two-week round-the-clock monitoring of the 83-year-olds. They tested him on the heart and kidneys, examined his brain functions and performed a DNA analysis and hormone tests. He only came in contact with liquid when he was gargling and bathing.

The 83-year-old yogi gains according to his own information his energy solely from meditation and yoga exercises. The yogi himself says that the goddess “Amba” showed him a hole in his mouth, through which he received holy energy. This opening was already confirmed in 2003 by doctors.

Statement Yogi Nils
Of course, many people doubt the truth. The pure facts speak clearly for it, however. The Yogi was examined two weeks of 30 doctors in an Indian hospital. He was observed night and day. The doctors confirmed the miracle. As a scientifically minded person for me it is clear from the facts. At the moment the facts speak for the Yogi. There are also many such cases, but they are investigated not so consistent. And there is the case of the Swiss holy Yogi St. Nicholas of Flüe, who had lived without food. It was at that time in the Middle Ages also doubted strongly. Then an official commission was formed, which was watching him for four weeks continuously. She came to the same results as the above Indian doctors Commission. I think we can trust both the Swiss and the Indian military doctors. And thirdly, there is the Karmapa, who confirmed in 1981 at the hospital in Chicago the existence of a higher dimension of consciousness, from which he could exceed the physical laws.

For me indicates the case of the Indian yogis out that the teachings of light body are true. Thereafter, an advanced yogi can dematerialize at his death his body. The Indian Yogi said, that he materializes energy from the higher dimension unto food and dematerialisiert his urine. When a person can dematerialize his urine, it is in principle possible to do the same with the whole body. I salute the spiritual abilities of the Indian yogi. I am very grateful to him that he has given our extremely materialistic thinking world such a clear proof of the truth of yoga. New is about Prahlad Jani Yogi that by the first time a team of scientists has clearly demonstrated the existence of a higher level of consciousness. We should live not only environmentally, but also spiritually. This is my message. That is the most important point.

For me the key to plausibility is, that Yogi Prahlad Jani is not the only thoroughly studied case. There are also the yogini Giri Bala and the Swiss Holy Nicholas of Flüe. In addition, the Karmapa (Tibetan enlightened) was 1981 investigated in a hospital in Chicago by Western doctors. They confirmed his special abilities. And there is the discovery of quantum physicists that a higher cosmic dimension exists. God is the higher energy dimension, from which the Yogi relates his food.

Ultimately, the goal of yoga is not a life without eating or drinking. The most important point is to relate happiness, love, peace and strength from the higher energy dimension. The spiritual energy is known in yoga as light (Amrita, happiness energy). Then the Yogi lives in the light. He has light in himself and light around himself. In Christianity, one speaks of the Holy Spirit and to live in God. A life in God is a much happier life than a life without the love of God. I am a happiness philosopher. For me, the meaning of life is to be happy. This is at a high level only possible by a life in God, in the light or let’s call it enlightenment or holiness.

Enlightenment and profound inner happiness arises from the resolution of internal tension. Tension is caused by stress (anxiety, addiction). Every normal person has many layers of tension in himself. If he is released from the internal tension, inner well-being and happiness appears. The Light of God (the energy from the higher dimension) can not flow into the body and the soul (spirit) of a person, if he is too tensed. The more he purifies himself through physical and mental exercises, the more he can be filled with the happiness energy of God. This energy is a relatively independent substance (consciousness energy). It can be transmitted from an enlightened master to other people.

Yogini Giri Bala
(Quotes from Autobiography of a Yogi by Paramhansa Yogananda)

“‘I know Giri Bala well,’ Sthiti Babu told me. ‘She employs a certain yoga technique which enables her to live without eating. I was her close neighbor in Nawabganj near Ichapur. I made it a point to watch her closely; never did I find evidence that she was taking either food or drink. My interest finally mounted so high that I approached the Maharaja of Burdwan and asked him to conduct an investigation. Astounded at the story, he invited her to his palace. She agreed to a test and lived for two months locked up in a small section of his home. Later she returned for a palace visit of twenty days; and then for a third test of fifteen days. The Maharaja himself told me that these three rigorous scrutinies had convinced him beyond doubt of her non-eating state.’

Soon a short figure came into view in the doorway Giri Bala! She was swathed in a cloth of dull, goldish silk; in typically Indian fashion, she drew forward modestly and hesitatingly, peering slightly from beneath the upper fold of her swadeshi cloth. Her eyes glistened like smouldering embers in the shadow of her head piece; we were enamored by a most benevolent and kindly face, a face of realization and understanding, free from the taint of earthly attachment.

Finally we had recorded for posterity many photographs of the only woman in the world who is known to have lived without food or drink for over fifty years. Most motherly was Giri Bala’s expression as she stood before us, completely covered in the loose-flowing cloth, nothing of her body visible but her face with its downcast eyes.

The little saint seated herself cross-legged on the verandah. Though bearing the scars of age, she was not emaciated; her olive-colored skin had remained clear and healthy in tone.

“I love to cook and feed people.”

A strange pastime, I thought, for a non-eating saint!

“Tell me, Mother, from your own lipsdo you live without food?”

“That is true.” She was silent for a few moments; her next remark showed that she had been struggling with mental arithmetic. “From the age of twelve years four months down to my present age of sixty-eighta period of over fifty-six yearsI have not eaten food or taken liquids.”

“But you do eat something!” My tone held a note of remonstrance.

“Of course!” She smiled in swift understanding.

“Your nourishment derives from the finer energies of the air and sunlight, and from the cosmic power which recharges your body through the medulla oblongata.”

“Baba knows.” Again she acquiesced, her manner soothing and unemphatic.

“Mother, please tell me about your early life. It holds a deep interest for all of India, and even for our brothers and sisters beyond the seas.”

Giri Bala put aside her habitual reserve, relaxing into a conversational mood.

“So be it.” Her voice was low and firm. “I was born in these forest regions. My childhood was unremarkable save that I was possessed by an insatiable appetite. I had been betrothed in early years.

“‘Child,’ my mother often warned me, ‘try to control your greed. When the time comes for you to live among strangers in your husband’s family, what will they think of you if your days are spent in nothing but eating?’

“The calamity she had foreseen came to pass. I was only twelve when I joined my husband’s people in Nawabganj. My mother-in-law shamed me morning, noon, and night about my gluttonous habits.

“‘Lord,’ I prayed incessantly, ‘please send me a guru, one who can teach me to live by Thy light and not by food.’

“A divine ecstasy fell over me. Led by a beatific spell, I set out for the Nawabganj ghat on the Ganges. The morning sun pierced the waters; I purified myself in the Ganges, as though for a sacred initiation. As I left the river bank, my wet cloth around me, in the broad glare of day my master appeared!

“‘Dear little one,’ he said in a voice of loving compassion, ‘I am the guru sent here by God to fulfill your urgent prayer. From today you shall live by the astral light, your bodily atoms fed from the infinite current.’”

He initiated me into a kria technique which frees the body from dependence on the gross food of mortals. The technique includes the use of a certain mantra and a breathing exercise more difficult than the average person could perform.

I have never had any children; many years ago I became a widow. I sleep very little, as sleep and waking are the same to me. I meditate at night, attending to my domestic duties in the daytime. I slightly feel the change in climate from season to season. I have never been sick or experienced any disease. I feel only slight pain when accidentally injured. I have no bodily excretions. I can control my heart and breathing. I often see my guru as well as other great souls, in vision.

“Mother,” I said slowly, “what is the use of your having been singled out to live without eating?”

“To prove that man is Spirit.”

The saint sank into a deep meditative state. Her gaze was directed inward; the gentle depths of her eyes became expressionless. She gave a certain sigh, the prelude to the ecstatic breathless trance. For a time she had fled to the questionless realm, the heaven of inner joy.

Discussion in a German Internet forum
(multi-religiöses Forum, June 2010)

Nils: I'm not a dogmatist. I watch the Indian press and the case of the yogi. If fraud is proved to the doctors, I will regretfully withdraw my argument with the yogi. Until now, there are no serious indications of fraud. One of the 30 doctors (some sources say even up to 45 people were involved) would at some point uncover a fraud. He could thus become rich and famous. I do not think in the long run that such a great fraud case can be maintained.

Also the reported case of the Yogini by Yogananda was investigated thoroughly. It was also in retrospect not a scam. Rather, many other witnesses confirmed the truth of the statement of the yogini. The capabilities of the yogis are not based on magic, but on opportunities that arise during the enlightenment, or shortly before. In yoga this is called siddhis. They are a proof that an exceedance of the material laws of nature is possible. There are thousands of witnesses from many religions for these skills by yogis. But they have never been investigated so thoroughly. This is made possible by modern technology.

Free Spirit: Hi Yogi Nils. Should I believe that, I do not know. I think there is much more possible than is usually believed.

Nils: Very good. I'm also careful with the facts. But at the moment speaks from my point of view everything for the truth of the event. The whole world press holds the case for credible, even though it contradicts the materialist world view. If there had been some suspicion, it would have been reported. So the world press just told simply the facts.

Annaxim: How the yogis do this, I do not know.

Nils: It is a yoga technique. The Yogi and the Yogini told exactly how they do it. They focus in meditation on the higher energy dimension and a certain area in their mouth, breathe in a certain way and think of a mantra (word). This brings the subtle light energy (the Holy Spirit, Amrita) into the body and replaces the food. The basic technique was described by the sage Patanjali Yoga 2000 years ago in the Yoga Sutra. When a yogi has reached a certain stage on the path of yoga, a special kind of meditation is possible.

Annaxim: Whereby do you want to know, that the surveillance had absolutely no gaps? At night, in the bathroom and on the toilet? Everywhere?

Nils: The video camera was running the whole time. The doctors have said that the surveillance had no gaps. What are you waiting for? The whole experiment would have been meaningless if the Yogi would have had a chance in between something to eat and drink. And there is still the Yogini who was locked without food and water three times for a long time in a room (because the Maharaja could hardly believe it himself).

If we assume with the Indian doctors that Prahlad Jani can live without food, this would also been possible to Jesus. Jesus had after his enlightenment four weeks no desire for food or drink. Then again awakened his worldly needs. Prahlad Jani proves the truth of the Bible.

but hey Nils there is a one thing that you should know prahlad jani and his religious team rejected to test under individiul team of rationalist.also sudhir shah a main doctor who examine a prahalad jani not allowing sanal adamuruku a rationalist from india to inspect during test.most doctor of the team is from deeply jain religion they also have their theory on how they get energy from sunlight and simply they want to prove it. you are saying that he is not fraud but hey he has a practice of 70 years of getting food without knowing common people in my perspective ,also there are some people from his village who claims that he is fraud.

Progress and Prospects in Parkinson's Research/Therapy/Neuroprotection/GM1

"In a recent trial, the Parkinson's symptoms of a small number of patients treated with GM1 were observed to have reduced significantly. Some earlier work and some experiments with animal models suggested that GM1 has considerable neuroprotective and restorative properties.  Further information is required on what further work is being done on this apparently promising substance."

Background
GM1 (monosialotetrahexosylganglioside) is a member of the ganglio series of gangliosides which contain one sialic acid residue. GM1 has important physiological properties and impacts neuronal plasticity and repair mechanisms, and the release of neurotrophins in the brain.

The diseases known as GM1 gangliosidoses are caused by a deficiency of beta-galactosidase, with resulting abnormal storage of acidic lipid materials in cells of the central and peripheral nervous systems, but particularly in the nerve cells.

Research
1995

Shneider et al observed the effects of treating mice, which had induced Parkinsonism through treatment with MPTP, with GM1.

"The effect of GM1 on dopamine synthesis was dependent upon the degree of initial damage to the nigrostriatal dopamine system. That is, the GM1 effect on dopamine synthesis could not be demonstrated in mice with greater than 95% striatal dopamine loss and 75% substantia nigra dopamine neuron loss. These results suggest that in addition to previously reported effects of GM1 on rescue and repair of dopaminergic neurons, GM1 may also have the ability to enhance dopamine synthesis in residual dopaminergic neurons. Direct effects on dopamine neurochemistry may contribute to functional improvement seen after GM1 treatment in various models of parkinsonism."

Schneider et al gave GM1 or a placebo to 45 patients with mild to moderate PD. After three independent baseline assessments, patients received IV infusion of the test drug (1,000 mg GM1 or placebo) and then self-administered either GM1 or placebo twice daily (200 mg/day, subcutaneously) for 16 weeks. GM1-treated patients had significantly greater mean improvements than placebo-treated patients in performance of timed motor tests including tests of arm, hand, and foot movements, and walking. GM1 was well tolerated and no serious adverse events were reported.

"This study demonstrates that GM1 ganglioside treatment enhances neurologic function significantly in PD patients. Further study is warranted to evaluate long-term effects of GM1 in PD patients and to elucidate further the mechanisms underlying patient improvements."

1998

Rothblat and Schneider studied the effects of GM1 on MPTP treated mice.

" Results showed that measures of dopamine innervation were significantly increased in most striatal areas in MPTP+GM1-treated mice compared to MPTP+saline-treated controls. The results indicate that GM1 treatment increases measures of dopaminergic innervation after an MPTP lesion, possibly through sprouting of new terminals or increased dopamine production and release from remaining terminals."

Schneider reviewed the results of clinical trials of GM1 on PD patients.

"In a double-blind placebo-controlled study, significant improvements in GM1-treated patients were demonstrated in clinical motor ratings, timed tests of motor function, activities of daily living, and some aspects of neuropsychological functioning. Patients who have elected to continue using GM1 in an open extension trial have either continued to improve over time or have shown initial functional improvements and their disease has remained stable (i.e., no symptom progression) after two years. These results suggest that long-term use of GM1 is safe and may work to partially reverse the degenerative process in established Parkinson's disease patients."

2002

Zappia et al set out to determine whether anti-GM1 antibodies are increased in Parkinson's disease (PD). Conclusion:-

"A consistent portion of parkinsonians, mainly with a tremor-dominant form of PD, may have increased circulating IgM anti-GM1 antibodies."

2010

Schneider et al reported that in earlier studies it was noted that treatment of PD patients with GM1 ganglioside over a period of 16 weeks resulted in a significant reduction in their PD symptoms.

26 PD patients then volunteered to take part in an open-ended double blind placebo controlled extension of the initial trial. At the end of 5 years their PD symptoms were measured and found to be lower than at the start of the trial. The finding was that long term treatment of PD patients with GM1 ganglioside was neuroprotective with no adverse side effects

User:Nobody60/Nils/What is Enlightenment

<God

Wikipedia: Enlightenment means in spiritual terms the word alludes to a spiritual revelation or deep insight into the meaning and purpose of all things, communication with or understanding of the mind of God, profound spiritual understanding or a fundamentally changed consciousness whereby everything is perceived as a unity.

The Path to Inner Happiness
Inner tension and inner conflict occur when people prevent themselves from being at peace and from experiencing true happiness at a deeper level. This inner tension and conflict takes energy, destroys any chance for contentment, and lower one’s overall spiritual positivity. A highly tense and conflicted person tends to have negative thoughts. Love for oneself and others is blocked mentally and spiritually.

Inner conflict can mainly be traced to one’s childhood. In a conflicted society, where pressure to perform and competition is a daily reality engrained upon its members, a tendency toward conflict and tension is passed on from parents to their children during their upbringing. Parents live out their worries, doubts, fears, aggressions, addictions, and thus influence the spiritual development of their children. Other childhood sources of learned conflict stem from television. Tension in turn then comes from professional stress, strained relationships, divorce, and more, as these children grow up to face similar challenges as their parents face or once faced.

The good news is, whenever this inner conflict builds up inside, it can also be eliminated. The bad news is this can take quite a while. Whenever tension builds over the course of several years, it will also take years to relieve. It is always worth the effort, however, to take on the challenge of curing oneself of such inner negativity. For example, illness later on in life can be avoided as a life full of peace, energy, and positivity is a healthier one.

The amount of inner peace a person possesses correlates opposingly to the amount of tension in one’s body and spirit. The lower the tension, the more positive the life force present. Every person has the potential to find absolute peace and contentment. Everyone can achieve enlightenment. The only thing standing in the way of this goal is our own tension and negativity. Once these darker feelings subside, our inner positive energy grows.

A good way to go about curing oneself of this life force robbing negativity is to practice several spiritual exercises every day. We have to live in a way that facilitates a gravitation towards the light, instead of the dark. Most people in today’s day and age are on a march in the opposite direction. They live day to day feeling egotistical and stressed out. They live their lives focused on creating more tension and end up burnt out, sick, negative, and depressed.

Tension can reside in the body and the soul. The body and the soul are connected, and in order to relieve ourselves of inner tension, we should practice spiritual exercises for both elements. Inner happiness can manifest on a deeper level only when we cleanse ourselves of this inner tension. As people are very individual, no two have the same sorts of tension and negativity. Everyone should therefore experiment with said exercises to find what is best for him or her to direct one’s path in the appropriate way for him or herself to find inner happiness. True contentment can be found as one of the enlightened. The deeper purpose of life is to reach enlightenment.

In the Philosophy Room
Nils: I have experienced great pain and great happiness. The biggest happiness I experienced in enlightenment. The cosmos has given humans the ability to move to wisdom. I can therefore say I would like to avoid suffering to the greatest extent possible, and to realize a state of happiness as far as possible. Those who have experienced intense suffering and intense happiness in life, know their lives’ challenges. They know that there is a correct way to the correct life. This could be called the holy path.

Bartleby: To be enlightened and happy are supposedly abilities one can learn?

Nils: Being happy is doable. Happiness can be learnt. A person can raise his or her happiness by 40% with simple daily exercises. American researchers who studied the topic of happiness found that to be the case.

Enlightenment occurs when a person dissolves his or her inner tension through spiritual techniques such as meditation and thought work. An individual can relax through exercise. Inner happiness then unfolds on its own. A person can work for the conditions best suited to enlightenment, but this grace comes from God. If a person practices spiritually long enough, he or she develops inner happiness. How quickly this occurs depends on the intensity and nature of the inner conflict.

Bartleby: To be “free from joy and pain“ is nothing I consider worth striving for.

Nils: An enlightened individual has feelings just like a non-enlightened person: feelings of grief and joy. He or she simply lives at a higher level of happiness, in general. He or she has more peace, power, happiness, and love.

There are two ways to approach feelings in spirituality. Buddha based himself in a great feeling of inner relaxation, free from intense emotions. He rose above feelings like rage, sadness, fear, and joy. The Dalai Lama in comparison, represents a form of Buddhism which emphasizes feelings. He cultivates feelings such as all-encompassing love and empathy.

I teach the allowance of feelings of rage and sadness in my yoga lessons. I practice regular anger, grief, love, and joy exercises. Many yoga teachers overpower such feelings. There are also various ways to go in yoga.

Trist: To know about God, you first have to be enlightened. That it is an infinite circle and can never be proven.

Nils: That is not a circular argument. Enlightenment, like love, cannot be measured with devices, but it exists anyway. One can measure the results of such feelings as happiness, love, and enlightenment. One can measure brain waves and conclude regarding particular feelings. The main proof for enlightenment comes from witnesses. We could also ask if someone has ever been in love, in a similar way.

LuxFerre: I can think for myself, and decide for myself. I don’t need help from enlightened people.

Nils: I consider it a mistake to not accept help from enlightened teachers, but everyone has his or her own way. Help is voluntary.

Accepting the help of an enlightened master has the advantage that the teacher knows the goal and can help people from straying from it. Without an enlightened teacher, it is more difficult to come to self-realization. Only a few people can find the correct way and reach the goal without a teacher.

It is ok for a beginner to read spiritual books and to look for the wisdom within, but if you wish to make real progress, it helps to have a teacher.

A bad teacher is harmful, but a good one can help bring people forward spiritually. We should first check out our teachers before we truly put our spiritual lives in their hands. I recommend that you center yourself in your own wisdom, and view the master’s wisdom as additional help.

Fliege: What ist enlightenment energy?

Nils: Enlightenment energy feels like light, water, or a magnet field around the person. It has the characteristics of peace, power, happiness, and love. When the person is pure enough on the inside, this happiness energy fills the body and the space around the person. He is then surrounded by an aura of holy energy.

Enlightenment energy can be sensed. In science, it is often debated as to what it deals with. I experience it as consciousness energy. I can create this energy through my spiritual exercises and spiritually control this energy and transfer it to other people. I also got enlightenment energy from my teachers. The center of initiation in yoga is the transfer of enlightenment energy.

Levels of Enlightenment
Partygänger: Hey nils !! How does one know whether one is enlightened?

Nils: According to my opinion, there are many levels or degrees of enlightenment. Normal people can also have feelings of happiness, love, and peace. It can feel like you are one wit the world. In the second level of enlightenment, these feelings are especially strong at particular moments.

A third degree would be when a person dwells on this level for a long time. In the fourth level, the ego begins to dissolve. This individual sees his or her fellow beings more than his or her self. He or she gives more than he or she takes and is therefore happier than his or her more selfish fellow humans.

A fifth level could be described as a feeling of holiness. The person has such a high state of energy that he or she experiences the self as being holy. He or she senses a large aura around his or her head and around the body. In this level there is still an ego and sense of the self. In the sixth level, you reach cosmic consciousness. You lose your “me” feeling. You are at one with everything, you are simply consciousness.

On the seventh level, you see God in all things and everywhere in the world. In the eighth level, you forget the material world and see yourself as being independent of material. You are free of joy and peace. At the ninth level, particularly special spiritual abilities appear.

The tenth level is reached then after death, when one lives permanently in the highest dimension of happiness (Paradise, God, Satyaloka).

What I just typed comes from my own knowledge and experience. In Tibetan Buddhism there are ten Bodhisattva levels. In yoga we also speak of a thousand stages of enlightenment. There are basically small, medium and large enlightened.

Partygänger: Hello nils !! Total enlightenment must be an experience that does away with all the other possible human possibilities to experience.

Nils: That’s how it is. It was clear to me afterwards that I knew the deeper sense of life.

Partygänger: I imagine an out of body experience where I float as a ray of energy down a street of milk full of unlimited, undescribable, absolute, ultimate psychedelic happiness. It would definitely be worth it to find this condition… in this lifetime!!!

Nils: Enlightenment is very good. According to my experience, it is so good that one would do anything for it. However, it is difficult to describe. It is more of an act of inaction (simply being blissful), but sometimes a very forceful action. It depends on what one needs along the way to inner happiness.

The Most Powerful and Effective Exercise
Carsten: What is the most powerful and effective exercise, in your opinion?

Nils: The quickest way to progress along the spiritual way is to let an enlightened master open the energy door for you and then live in calm and peace alone. Then everything will develop the right way. According to Amma, you grow five times as quickly in isolation as you do as a spiritual person in a worldly environment. A worldly environment robs a lot of energy, which is then not present for the inner transformation. Relationships take the most energy away. Everyone needs to find his or her own way, as I have stated in the past.

It is difficult to live as a yogi in isolation. Most people would get overwhelmed. Good that I didn’t know how difficult it would be before I tried it. But now I am through with the largest crisis and have learned to deal with my situation. Now I feel much more relaxed with it all. I have had a computer for five years and surf the net happily.

I have lived for over twentyfour years in isolation. The first fifteen years were mainly without outer contact. The extreme phase was necessary. Swami Shivananda went his way in such an extreme way at first, and then relaxed it a bit afterwards. The important thing is to find the right combination for yourself. The most effective exercise is to rest, to practice (Yoga, meditation, reading) and to love all beings (to do good for others).

For me, the most powerful exercise is to maintain a spiritual daily routine. You must center your life in inner happiness and find out how you can stay within and grow spiritually.

Tension comes through stress situations. When they dissolve, the stress situations appear again, briefly. Feelings such as anger, sadness, and fear appear again and then dissolve. With the meditation, there is potential for two mistakes. One could be that we meditate to strongly. Then the problems don’t rise to the surface and we can’t dissolve any inner tension. The second pitfall is conscious thinking. We can think to much or fall into day dreams. The correct way is to be a passive observer of one’s own emotions. We don’t control these things consciously. We observe with interest as things rise from our inner worlds. We let the condition of calm prevail and the tension will dissolve.

Enlightenment and Love
Atheist: “Those who set themselves down for twelve years and doesn’t think of anything, will get enlightenment.” That is the essence of what you have been saying? Nils: Correct. The essence of enlightenment is in simply existing (calm, rest, not thinking). You think when you need to think. Simply ceasing thoughts sounds simple, but it is a rather dynamic process. Before the thoughts come to a point of calm, all of the suppressed emotions and stress situations in the subconscious come to the surface and dissolve. To force thoughts to stop would be wrong. You sit down somewhere, wait a bit, and then the dance of thoughts and feelings begin. After a time, it all comes to rest, and inner peace, harmony, and happiness emerge. That is how you rise from one level to the next. The “I” and “me” mentality ceases. You cannot force enlightenment. It comes of its own speed. Atheist: Does an enlightened look at the dark side of the psyche? Nils: The contention with one’s own shadow side is the main way to enlightenment.''' An enlightened is aware of the negative side of his or her self. They take the negative side as it is. They live positively with their weaknesses and integrate them into the psyche.''' They are harmonious with the self.

Atheist: What is the omnipotent God? Nils: God is a cosmic consciousness field that is over and in all beings. God is described as ubiquitous, all-powerful, all-knowing, omnipotent, and blissful. In transcendence, God is described as all-encompassing mother and father, full of love and happiness. Ubiquitous is a good description for the cosmic information field. All-knowing is a good component of this field. Love and happiness are experienced when you become one with this cosmic field. But what’s the deal with all-powerful? That I am not so sure of. The way I deal with this concept, is to see God as the cosmic law working everywhere and absolutely. An enlightened feels God as an all-powerful being. At the same time, he has the ability to deal only within his possibilities. He must remain within the rules of the cosmos. The power of the cosmic consciousness field is limited, in my opinion. It has to emerge with whatever material is at hand. It can create a material cosmos. It can manifest itself as an enlightened. It can influence the development of the material cosmos. But it remains within the rules of the universe. For that reason, I define the all-powerful nature of the cosmos as an inner feeling. I define the power of God as transcendent and contradictory.

Atheist: Isn’t love the essence of Christianity? Nils: Very good. We should all love more. Atheist: To carry around love within oneself all day and everyday should be enough for enlightenment? Nils: Try it. It is enough. You will see God in the world and in other people. You will have love, peace, and happiness within. All-encompassing love is the quickest way to a life in God. Atheist: What I don’t understand is how people know the universe scientifically, they know how big it is, how old it is, they know that it is there. Despite that, they don’t know it really, because the feeling for it is missing. Nils: Very well stated. Enlightenment is a cosmic consciousness. One feels like he or she is a part of the universe. '''Enlightenment can be created in that the cosmos are visualized around oneself and the universe as a whole. The visualization of the universe activates the Kundalini energy (the enlightenment energy).''' It is not enough to know something of the universe, one must also feel it. Atheist: It is as though we know there is a God, but we don’t feel or sense the existence of this God. If we look in the right direction, we then become aware and can thus become enlightened? Nils: '''Visualizing God awakens the enlightenment energy. Praying with real feeling awakens the Kundalini energy. For this reason, many Christians say they can feel God. They think about God and have feelings of peace and happiness.''' Atheist: Do you know the end of the way? Nils: '''The way of enlightenment is endless. God cannot be measured.''' You can grow eternally. When you have saved yourself, then you can save everyone else. Amma meditates for herself first. When she has enough enlightenment energy in herself, she then meditates for other people and sends them happiness, wisdom, love, power, and peace. Most people could use a lot of these things. Atheist: Isn’t the world unimportant for the enlightened? Nils: '''An enlightened has peace within him or her, but the suffering of others is not unimportant to him or her. Those who have God within, have enough for themselves. But God is also love. Enlightenment changes people from egotistical persons to loving, giving individuals. The ego is dissolved and through the destruction of the ego, the enlightened recognizes them in all of their fellow humans. The enlightened see the suffering of others and wish them happiness. Love flows from them to their fellow humans and their enlightenment becomes more all-encompassing. An enlightened is not a nihilist, rather a Buddha who is concerned with the happiness of his or her fellow humans.'''

The Way of All-Encompassing Love
The way of all-encompassing love gives life a deeper meaning. It gives the power to overcome barriers and burdens. The vision of a happy world provides motivation in a life as a Yogi. When Nils doesn’t feel like practicing Yoga, he fills his practice with the motivation of a happier world. He connects himself with suffering beings in the world and gets energy that way.He sends light to particular people everyday. He does this until his heart is open. Then he sends love to all beings, and finds happiness.

When we facilitate the desire for a better world, then we grow further towards enlightenment. The secret to this wish is the connection from the inner to the outer world. We are not spiritually separated from other beings. Their happiness or lack thereof affects us. When we visualize other beings as happy, then we also feel happy.

Those who foster and encourage this goal to a happy world creates positivity within. When we send light to all beings, then one day light will come through to our souls. When we do something good for the world, the world will reward us with a positive psyche.

But there is a danger along the path of unconditional, all-encompassing love. We can overwhelm ourselves and work too hard and have no energy left for happiness. A karma yogi must practice equally rooted in love and rest and balance rest with activity. A karma yogi must take care of him or herself, as it is impossible to take care of others unless the self is cared for. Furthermore, a path of exhaustion only leads to burn-out, not enlightenment.

The Dalai Lama explains, “live balanced by helping and by meditating.“ Jesus said, “love God and love your neighbor.” (Meaning, practice spiritually for the development of the self and help others.) Swami Shivananda said, “love, serve, give, meditate, purify, and realize your true self.”

Today, Indian yoga, Buddhism, and Christianity can be brought together to the way of all-encompassing love. It is very important to live for and work for a better, happier world. Bringing these three spiritual teachings together can be helpful in facilitating that. There are two great goals a human can have. He or she can seek enlightenment or work towards a happier world. At best, we combine the two.

In 1991, the Dalai Lama initiated Nils into Tibetan divinity Yoga and in 1998 into the way of all-encompassing love (Bodhisattva initiation, Avalokiteshva/Chenrezig). Nils could feel the energy of the Dalai Lama flow into his crown chakra. Later on, the Dalai Lama appeared to him often in dreams and presented helpful teachings to him. The most important aspect of the teachings of the Dalai Lama is that humans are like one big family and that we need to be responsible for the earth and each other in order for peace and love to exist in this world.

Amma Embraces the World
Mata Amritanandamayi (Amma) was born in 1953 in India. She was said to have been born with a big smile on her face, in contrast to most babies who are born crying. Her full spiritual name is “Mata Amritanandamayi”, which means “mother of bliss-energy”. She began her spiritual journey at the age of five, praying to Krishna everyday.

Amma had a difficult childhood. She was beaten and forced to work extremely hard. Despite this suffering, she never swayed from her spiritual path. It only served to strengthen her conviction.

While working, she repeated Mantras silently and found enlightenment at the age of 17. At first her enlightenment was unstable, but with the age of 22, the light flowed into her being. She became a Buddha as she developed this full state of enlightenment.

Her inner voice told her to help everyone on earth to follow the spiritual path to self-realization, to become a sort of mother of all beings. She taught the way of all-encompassing love, meditation, and yoga. She explained that a master is needed for most people to have success along the spiritual path.

Amma built up an extensive humanitarian organization in India. She financed schools, universities, and hospitals. She also set up an organization for single mothers which gave enough money for them to live, which is quite extraordinary in India.

Amma also engaged herself in the efforts towards equality for men and women. She renewed the Brahma cult. Brahma is the Indian god of wisdom. Equal to his side is Brahmani, the priestess of the comprehensive love. She is also called Sarasvati, the goddess of science, arts and creativity. Amma was a living proof of the ability women possess to achieve enlightenment, equal to that of men.

In the year of 2002 Amma was awarded the Gandhi-King prize from the UNO. In her speech she said, “real leadership doesn’t consist of domination, rather than the service of people with love and empathy.” At the World Parliament of Religions in 2004 in Barcelona she added, “love is our true self. Love and empathy are the essence of all religions. For this reason, it is unnecessary to compete or fight”.

She said that in today’s world people suffer from two kinds of inadequacy. The first is a lack of nourishment, and the second is a lack of love. We need to overcome both types of poverty. In order to fight wars, people spend billions. If only a small portion of that could be invested in peace and harmony, all the hunger and poverty in the world could be overcome. More than a billion people on earth suffer from hunger and poverty. That is actually the biggest enemy of mankind. When we develop love in ourselves, then we can really defeat the enemy that is suffering and misery.

Amma travels every year around the world, and has been doing this since 1987. She gives everyone her Darshan, her blessing. Her particular spiritual method consists of hugging people. She shows everyone that they are loved. She makes love tangible. “Let’s concentrate on what we can give, and not what we can get from others, then we can experience happiness and fulfillment in life”.

Mother Meera
Mother Meera is an enlightened master who lives in Germany. She was born on 26/12/1960 in India. 1982 she married a German. She now lives in Thalheim near Frankfurt. On weekends, she gives satsang (meeting) in the castle Balduinstein. Everyone can visit her and receive her free blessings (darshan). She gives darshan also in the USA and Canada. A darshan is an important purification step on the spiritual path. Often enlightenment energy is transfered, which one day develops in a great grace.

Mother Meera receives thousands of visitors for darshan which she conducts in total silence. Her darshan consists of a ritual, where she will touch a person's head, and then look into his eyes. During this process, she reportedly 'unties knots' in the person's subtle system and permeates them with light. She teaches the unity of all religions. Everyone can go his own way. It is only important to be connected with the light (the personal spiritual role model) by praying, reading or meditating.

Mother Meera has lived some time in the ashram of Sri Aurobindo. Sri Aurobindo was one of the great Indian saint of modern times. He taught the Integral Yoga, the combination of meditation and Karma Yoga (doing good). Mother Meera has said that she works together on a spiritual level with the Dalai Lama for the good of the world.

Statements of Mother Meera: "Each religion has its basic books. It is helpful to read these major works of religions. You may enjoy material life, but centering yourself in spirituality. (Live the joy as part of the spiritual path.) (...) Whoever comes to me for darshan, receives always what he needs. I look at everything within you to see where I can help, heal and give strength. I take anyone who comes sincere to me. The grace works automatically when the quest is sincere. Prayer always helps."

Talk:Engineering and technology learning projects

Hi, you have reached the discuss page. What do you think? 1sfoerster (talk) 15:40, 10 May 2012 (UTC)

Simplify
Mark, you said:
 * I am hoping that the grading can be simplified/streamlined. I know you’ve spent many semesters refining your system, but for the sanity of new instructors (Mike and myself), and the sanity of students, something simpler might be helpful.  That said, I want to learn your system better and we can discuss.

I am happy with the tension the students walk around with associated with the grading. Ideally it is graded pass fail, but we can not do that. Students see a point total going up, a project bucket total going up and a club total going up. They add three numbers that change weekly to see where they stand in the course. Most grow puzzled over the details and ask "what do the three notebook numbers mean again?" and this turns into another conversation opportunity of explaining the rubric and engineering. What was beautiful this semester is that no one harassed me for a detailed report of their grade. I do feel it fairly reflects the level of engineering that goes on. I don't believe all students will ever connect the feed back given in their notebooks and on wikiversity to their point totals. But this does not bother me.

I agree it is complicated from an instructors point of view. But I think it is worth the effort of figuring out.

The grading starts with a spreadsheet called a grading sheet printed once a week on paper. I take attendance on it, record notebook grades on it, record presentation grades on it while they are making the presentation, record wikiversity grades on it, make notes to myself and then enter it into a spreadsheet once a week. The spreadsheet moves everything around, generates a CSV file that I upload to canvas. This part of the grading seems to take no time at all.

I feel it is easier, more fun and takes less time to grade than statics:
 * Notebook grading takes about 10 minutes per week and is done in class.
 * Wikiversity grading takes about 1 hour a week and is done at any time.
 * Project grading takes about 2 hours every 4 weeks and has to be done the class meeting before the projects start.

The wikiversity grading should be done at the beginning of the week or before the first class of the week. It really helps me sink into what I can do for the projects in the up coming class.

Here it is why it has grown complicated:
 * Students will not pay attention to certain things unless they are graded. Other things they will do without grading. For example they will build and tear apart with out grading, but will never document.
 * The grading reflects rubrics that are just about as rich as any normal class. From this perspective there are three grading events: notebook, wikiversity and team. Two grades per week, one every four weeks.
 * The grading seems complicated because we are recording the rubric details, not the rubric summary.

The advantage of this grading system is that it produces a rich set of data that we can run statistics on, identify problem areas and see improvement. For example, the goal is to increase "problem" points in the notebook, "design" points in wikiversity. "Push" points capture creativity. The detail is necessary to become a metric, create an accountability process, set a base line, and be assessed in order to improve the class.

Ultimately another form of project assessment needs to happen ... by working engineers reading about these projects and responding to a survey. This could lead to a form of on-going external assessment. I have not figured out how get this process going ... yet. 1sfoerster (talk) 17:56, 10 May 2012 (UTC)

Stronger Attendance
Michael, you said:
 * I think that attendance should be factored in, but have a larger effect--something like (Final_total_points)*(days_attended / possible_days_attended - 1). This would give one free day to miss.

The goal is to get students to come to class on time. This year out of 28 class days, the average was 18 with standard deviation of 6. This is with attendance taken at the beginning of class. If you count people that showed up late, this is much higher. If you count people that pay no attention to attendance or grades, show up outside of class, show up in different classes, the count is even higher. As I write this now, there are three people from other classes working in this class .. and this is the last day of classes. This is with the attendance potentially reducing 50% of the project bucket points.

The normally class starts off with presentations: presentations by the professor, presentations by students. This means it is important to be in class at the beginning of class. The purpose of face to face class meetings is to figure out what the next steps of the project are. Random attendance does not help.

I encourage students to come to different classes. The "Drop In" at any time strategy was instrumental in getting this course to first base initially. Keeping the room open, embracing students working at any time does help get projects done, it does create more chances of conversations with students. Maybe it encourages students to say to themselves "why should I come on time, when I am going to stay an hour after class?" Maybe this is the source of the problem.

There is an attendance project that is past 2nd base at automating attendance taking use a web cam and facial recognition software.

Maybe presentation points could be reduced by missing the beginning of classes .. and do this for the entire semester. This would put more focus on attendance and the reasons for attendance.

Maybe the 5 projects the entire semester will cause a competition between classes that improves attendance.

Any ideas? 1sfoerster (talk) 14:26, 11 May 2012 (UTC)

The History of the Paralympic Movement in Australia/Meetings/Brisbane 26 May 2012

This event will be a Workshop to flesh out Chapter Two of the book.

 * Date: May 26 & 27
 * City: Brisbane
 * Venue: The Edge, State Library of Queensland

Program

 * Arrive Sat Morning
 * Sat Afternoon Wikipedia Session: 1pm-5pm - The Edge
 * Sat Night social function: ~6pm: West End (See w:Wikipedia:Meetup/Brisbane/5 for details)
 * Sun Morning Wikipedia Session: 10am-12:30am - SLQ Level 4: Meeting Room A
 * Sun afternoon HOPAU project meeting: 2pm-5pm - The Edge

Workshop details
The Saturday afternoon session will use a chapter of the written history that UQ sports historian Murray Phillips is writing about the "The History of the Paralympic Movement in Australia" (HOPAU) as the basis for creating and expanding Wikipedia articles about the Paralympic movement in Australia.
 * Saturday afternoon

Murray’s outline of the chapter identifies the key topics that need to be expanded on Wikipedia in order to complement the development of the written history.

In this session Murray will share what he has in mind, and participants will be collaborating with him to flesh it out. Wikipedians and the Paralympic community will identify which topics the wiki folk should focus on for the next few months in order to be able to work together with his research assistants.

The afternoon session will incorporate whiteboards and discussion about the topics, investigating any potential notability/verifiability issues related to these topics, and allocating topics to people who would like to work on them.

At the conclusion of the session, we'll have a list of topics on the wiki so that the online community can join the discussion and collaboration.

The Sunday morning session will be more focused on content, with participants working individually or in small groups. Participants will be in the stacks, finding resources, scanning, and writing articles.
 * Sunday morning

In both sessions APC staff, Murray Phillips and related UQ staff/students will be working together with Wikipedians to learn how to edit Wikipedia.

Project Yoreme

About Yoreme
We've started a project to generate educational materials to teach computer skills to kids who have had little or no access to computer networks. ES:Proyecto Yoreme is close to completing its initial phase. Since the theoretical basis of our work and its methodology have been clearly outlined on our site, its now time to generate the content.

Sobre el nombre del proyecto
This proyect was conceived to vie for an initiative of the state of Sonora. In the initial shower of ideas leading to the project's formal definition, Panx, a dear friend and guru, mentioned various peoples of the state, amongst them the Mayos and the Raramuris. Erno liked his idea, and being our august leader, his vision stuck, but I've come to like it. Read on to see why, but read the next section to find how I got back at him. &8'P

"We had to present our first proposal of the project, but we had yet to come up with a name. Following the notion of coming up with something which alluded to the state, I discovered that the Mayos call themselves Yoreme, which means "one who respects". Apart from liking this idea, it seemed to me that it had plenty to do with the type of didactics we wanted to implement. In spite of this name being provisional, the proposal was well received and we adopted in a more permanent way."

Sobre el nombre del servidor de web
The original site of the project is in a hosting provider where I store my personal web space, and the domain name of the oficial site is educere.jerx.net. That is what I meant to call the project. I comes from latin, which uses two distinct words which roughly correspond to and predate our own education. These are educere and educare. I will mention briefly and in passing that educare means to mold the student, but educere means to bring forth what is within the student.

El nombre de estas secciones
The project originates in Spanish, and in keeping with its spirit, we will pepper our text with spanish.
