By Richard Corliss
- Stars do it. Sports do it. Judges in the highest courts do it. Let's do it:
- that yoga thing. A path to enlightenment that winds back 5,000 years
- in its native India, yoga has suddenly become so hot, so cool, so very
- this minute. It's the exercise cum meditation for the new millennium,
- one that doesn't so much pump you up as bliss you out.
- Is yoga more than the power of positive breathing? Can’t it, say, cure
- cancer? Is yoga, in other words, a science?
- By even asking the question, we provoke a clash of two powerful cultures,
- two very different ways of looking at the world. The Indian tradition
- develops metaphors and ways of describing the body (life forces, energy
- centers) as it is experienced, from the inside out. The Western tradition
- looks at the body from the outside in. The East treats the person; the West
- treats the disease. "Our system of medicine is very fragmented," says Dr.
- Carrie Demers, who runs the Center for Health and Healing at the
- Himalayan International Institute of Yoga Science and Philosophy of the
- USA in Honesdale, Pa. "We send you to different specialists to look at
- different parts of you. Yoga is more holistic; it's interested in the
- integration of body, breath and mind"

THE GOOD ENGLISH GUIDE
1. Everyone allows students of English to have occasional problems with the English

6. intelligible and understandable even when it is full of mistakes. But it is no bad thing for
7. these “native” mistakes to be corrected and this is what the good word guide has send
8. out to. Martin Manser has listed the 2.000 words and expressions that are the most
9. frequently misused and provides a concise explanation of the reasons for the error and,
10. more importantly, what the correct usage is. It may come as a shock to some to realize
11. they have been speaking incorrectly for years, but now is as good a time as any to find
12. that out.
01. A alternativa correta de acordo com o texto é
a) Even native speakers need correction for their mistakes
b) Students of English make lots of mistakes.
c) English is an extremely difficult language to be learned.
d) To learn a language you need a very good dictionary

QUICKie 4
Call us sentimental, but you can't beat a good old family reunion to give you a warm glow all over. Especially if you know it's the first of many. That's why we took a chair back to a forest, to see the next generation of trees growing up healthy and strong in its place. A sort of trip back to its roots.
We've been working hard to make sure all wood comes from well managed forests, both temperate and tropical, where timber harvesting is carefully regulated, to allow for regrowth.
Working in conjunction with timber traders, foresters, certification organizations, indigenous peoples' groups and environmental institutions, we helped to set up the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC).
The primary aim of this organization is to promote sustainable forest management, awarding certificates to the ones that make the grade. All wood from these forests is stamped with the FSC trademark, so you can buy it with a clear conscience.
In many countries, major retailers are becoming part of WWF sponsored Buyers Groups, committed to buying timber and wood products only from well managed forests. Companies in Germany, Austria, Australia, Belgium, Canada, Switzerland, the UK and the USA are already on board.
In the UK alone, the Buyers Group includes at least 70 companies. These companies account for almost one third of all wood products traded annually in the UK, with a value of several billion US dollars.
This work, combined with our other major campaigns to address climate change and promote sustainable fishing practices, should help us go a long way towards restoring the balance of nature.
Your own company could easily get involved too. Next time you replace your furniture, or stationery, insist on it having the FSC trademark. If you're not responsible for the buying, it's worth telling the person who is.
The more demand there is for wood approved by the FSC, the easier it will be to convince more forest owners to work with us to save the world's forests.
Please contact us with your ideas, your involvement or even money. After all, we've got millions of babies to look after now.

BODIES. THE EXHIBITION
Madame Tussaud's wax museum has life-like figures of famous people done in wax but the bodies on display at the Human Body Exhibitions worldwide are created from real human flesh and bones of dead human bodies that have been preserved so they do not decay.
You will see muscles, brain, eyes, lungs, internal body organs, even a preserved fetus but no human skin. The bodies depict the internal state of muscles, bones and other organ during routine activities like reading, playing soccer, standing on his feet or holding a tennis racquet.
The human specimen are preserved according to standard mortuary science then immersed in acetone, which eliminates all body water. A visit to Bodies Exhihibition will probably change the way you think about your body beneath the skin. Human Anatomy turned into a visual art

SPAM: A ORIGEM
"Spam" is a popular Monty Python sketch, first broadcast in 1970. In the sketch, two customers are trying to order a breakfast from a menu that includes the processed meat product in almost every item. The term spam (in electronic communication) is derived from this sketch. Continues at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spam_%28Monty_Python%29 E-mail spam is a subset of spam that involves sending nearly identical messages to thousands (or millions) of recipients by E-mail. Perpetrators of such spam ("spammers") often harvest addresses of prospective recipients from Usenet postings or from web pages, obtain them from databases, or simply guess them by using common names and domains. By popular definition, spam occurs without the permission of the recipients.

CHOCOLATE!!!
Chocolate That Won't Melt !!!!!!!!!
Chocolate is not widely consumed in the tropics, even though that's where most of the world's cocoa is produced.
The reason: It's too hot.
High temperatures in countries such as Nigeria reduce chocolate into a sticky, gooey mess.
Food scientists have been trying to remedy this situation for decades, and now researchers in Nigeria believe they are close to achieving the holy grail among chocolate manufacturers: a heat-resistant chocolate that actually tastes like chocolate.

Desperate Feminist Wives
Why wanting equality makes women unhappy.By Meghan O'Rourke
Posted Monday, March 6, 2006, at 7:35 PM ET
In The Feminine Mystique, the late Betty Friedan attributed the malaise of married women largely to traditionalist marriages in which wives ran the home and men did the bread-winning. Her book helped spark the sexual revolution of the 1970s and fueled the notion that egalitarian partnerships—where both partners have domestic responsibilities and pursue jobs—would make wives happier. Last week, two sociologists at the University of Virginia published an exhaustive study of marital happiness among women that challenges this assumption. Stay-at-home wives, according to the authors, are more content than their working counterparts. And happiness, they found, has less to do with division of labor than with the level of commitment and "emotional work" men contribute (or are perceived to contribute). But the most interesting data may be that the women who strongly identify as progressive—the 15 percent who agree most with feminist ideals—have a harder time being happy than their peers, according to an analysis that has been provided exclusively to Slate. Feminist ideals, not domestic duties, seem to be what make wives morose. Progressive married women—who should be enjoying some or all of the fruits that Freidan lobbied for—are less happy, it would appear, than women who live as if Friedan never existed.
