Procession of the Holy Blood

This procession is a major religious event in Bruges, Belgium, to venerate the Holy Blood of Christ said to have been brought back from the Second Crusade by Thierry d’Alsace, count of Flanders, in 1150. Through living tableaux, the procession tells the story of the Bible, from the fall of Adam and Eve on through the New Testament stories. Some dozen groups also depict the triumphant return of Thierry d’Alsace to Bruges. When the procession has returned to Burg Square, the bishop of Bruges lifts the relic of the Holy Blood and blesses the crowd.

This Day in History:
Old West Outlaw Pearl Hart Robs a Stagecoach (1899)

Hart was an American outlaw whose notoriety stemmed primarily from the fact that she was female. Her early life was fairly ordinary. She grew up wealthy and eloped at 16. In 1893, after seeing Buffalo Bill’s Wild West Show, she left her abusive husband and went west, where she acquired a taste for cigars, liquor, and morphine. In 1899, she helped rob a stagecoach, making away with over $400. She was apprehended, escaped, was recaptured, and then tried for her crimes. Why was she later pardoned?

Armillary Sphere

Used as early as the third century BCE, armillary spheres are astronomical models of the celestial sphere—an imaginary sphere surrounding the Earth, upon which the celestial bodies seem to lie. Fixed and movable rings representing circles of the celestial sphere, such as the ecliptic and the celestial equator, allow astronomers to use armillary spheres to determine the movements and positions of stars.

Dance me to your beauty with a burning violin
Dance me through the panic till I’m gathered safely in
Lift me like an olive branch and be my homeward dove
Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to the end of love

Oh, let me see your beauty when the witnesses are gone
Let me feel you moving like they do in Babylon
Show me slowly what I only know the limits of
Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to the end of love

Dance me to the wedding now, dance me on and on
Dance me very tenderly and dance me very long
We’re both of us beneath our love, we’re both of us above
Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to the end of love

Dance me to the children who are asking to be born
Dance me through the curtains that our kisses have outworn
Raise a tent of shelter now, though every thread is torn
Dance me to the end of love

Dance me to your beauty with a burning violin
Dance me through the panic till I’m gathered safely in
Touch me with your naked hand or touch me with your glove
Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to the end of love

   The birds they sang
   At the break of day
   Start again
   I heard them say
   Don’t dwell on what
   Has passed away
   Or what is yet to be
   Yeah the wars they will
   Be fought again
   The holy dove
   She will be caught again
   Bought and sold
   And bought again
   The dove is never free

   Ring the bells (ring the bells) that still can ring
   Forget your perfect offering
   There is a crack in everything (there is a crack in everything)
   That’s how the light gets in

   We asked for signs
   The signs were sent
   The birth betrayed
   The marriage spent
   Yeah the widowhood
   Of every government
   Signs for all to see

   I can’t run no more
   With that lawless crowd
   While the killers in high places
   Say their prayers out loud
   But they’ve summoned, they’ve summoned up
   A thundercloud
   And they’re going to hear from me

   Ring the bells that still can ring

   Forget your perfect offering
   There is a crack, a crack in everything (there is a crack in everything)
   That’s how the light gets in

   You can add up the parts
   You won’t have the sum
   You can strike up the march
   There is no drum
   Every heart, every heart to love will come
   But like a refugee

   Ring the bells that still can ring
   Forget your perfect offering
   There is a crack, a crack in everything (there is a crack in everything)
   That’s how the light gets in
   Ring the bells that still can ring (ring the bells that still can ring)
   Forget your perfect offering
   There is a crack, a crack in everything (there is a crack in everything)

Bikram Yoga is a special form of Yoga which was founded by the Indian Yoga guru Bikram Choudhury. It subsequently gained quite a bit of popularity.

Bikram Yoga is a special form of Yoga which was founded by the Indian Yoga guru Bikram Choudhury. It subsequently gained quite a bit of popularity. This yoga regime consists of sessions of a duration of about 90 minutes. In this duration the Yogi needs to go through 26 poses in succession. The special characteristic is that this form of Yoga needs to be performed in rooms where high temperature is maintained. The temperature typically goes as high as 105 degrees Fahrenheit. Also the humidity is kept high at around 40 percent.

In recent times, different form of hot Yoga has become prevalent. But it must be remembered that Yoga performed in hot temperature is not necessarily Bikram Yoga. There has been lack of understanding among many people as to what is and what is not Bikram Yoga. A sizeable percentage of people doing hot Yoga erroneously think they are performing Bikram Yoga. In reality they might actually be performing Vinayasa Yoga inside a hot room.

Bikram Yoga and Its Creator

Bikram Choudhury was a seasoned Yoga practitioner and guru for many years in India. He created this form of Yoga and all the poses within, from his long experience and deep knowledge.

A common question is whether this extremely high temperature detrimental to the body or not. In many parts of India, during hot summer days, temperatures sore to this level. People have been living in these areas for years.

So, no, this temperature is not necessarily anything bad for the human body.

On the contrary performing Yoga in heat will make the body sweat heavily. Which is known to be an effective way of the body cleansing toxins.

Bikram Yoga Poses and Benefits

Now let’s talk about the 26 poses of the Bikram Yoga. The series of poses increases muscle strength, improves body flexibility and overall energy. As a result the practitioner feels holistically good. Although it may be the case that right at the beginning this form of Yoga may seem physically demanding. Also the high temperature may prove to be an extra deterrent.

But that should not discourage you to continue. As time passes your body will slowly adapt to the regime of Bikram Yoga. And the poses will eventually become easier to perform.

There are many poses which are included in Bikram Yoga sessions. Few of them and their good effects are mentioned below.

Hands To Feet Pose: Improves tone for joint ligaments and muscles for back and the upper portion of the body. Also proven to make the spinal cord more flexible.

Awkward Pose: This pose is particularly good for bones and joints. Known to be good for arthritis patients. It improves body balance and is good for people suffering from slipped discs. Also facilitates better blood circulation.

Standing Head to Knee: This can surely be said to be one of the challenging Yoga poses which both needs balance and flexibility. It is extremely good for the hamstrings and helps to make the body immensely flexible.

Today’s Holiday:
Planting the Penny Hedge

The Penny Hedge is a fence of interlaced stakes and boughs that is built along the water’s edge near Whitby, England, in the morning on the eve of Ascension Day. According to the local legend, in 1159 three noblemen were out hunting a wild boar. When the animal took refuge with a monk from Whitby Abbey, they beat him to death. The abbot of Whitby ordered them to build a hedge every year on the shore while the bailiff announced their offences. Today it is the harbor master himself who continues the tradition, while church and civil dignitaries, along with townspeople and visitors, look on.

The Blast Furnace

Blast furnaces are apparatuses that extract metal from ore by removing oxygen from metal oxide. These tall, cylindrical smelting furnaces are fed from the top with a mix of ore, coke, and a flux, commonly limestone, while preheated compressed air is introduced under pressure from the bottom. As the contents become molten, the metal sinks and impurities, called slag, float to the top. Blast furnaces were first used in China more than 2,000 years ago. When did they appear in Europe?
