Introducing the Benefits of Yoga and Mindfulness for Children Introducing the Benefits of Yoga and Mindfulness for Children Materials: Music for relaxation or Guided Imagery (older groups), Chimes, Sphere Age group: 4 – 12 year olds Yoga and meditation can help us feel good in our bodies, minds and hearts. We can learn how to use our breathing to help us feel calm, release anxiety and anger or also to energize ourselves. Yoga in all its aspects teaches us to have a healthy attitude to our body’s, which leads to a healthy attitude in our minds and visa versa. Do yoga and feel great!! Theme: Let’s look at ways we can enjoy a healthy living with yoga and mindfulness Chimes, 3 deep breaths, Namaste Pledge - “I believe in myself, I love and honour my body …, Mindful exercise – listen to the Sound of the chime - Listen to the chime and put up your hand when you can’t hear it … how active were your minds when you did this … mindfulness is about quietening the mind, becoming aware of all the thoughts, being aware of this very moment. Kung Fu Panda quote Remember yoga is like a conversation with our bodies! We must listen to our bodies and only go as far into a pose that feels comfortable. There is no competition in yoga – we each just do the best we can do. When we move through the poses we always try to be aware of our breath. Warm up your body – very important before any kind of exercise or sports Yoga and Ballet toes Stretch your arms out wide and give yourself a big hug! “I love my body!” Rotate shoulders, roly poly arms – Nursery – yr 2 Butterfly/ Rock the baby, Cat and Cow, Downward Dog Mountain pose Untying the knots Untie the brain, the head, my clavicle, my sternum, my shoulders, my biceps and triceps, my hips, my gluteus maximus, my hamstrings, my calves, my toes etc Shake like a jelly and freeze – Nursery and Yr 1 Sun salutation Year 1 – 6 or Kira’s Dance for the sun - nursery – Yr 2 Don’t forget to breathe: Good for body, mind and spirit! Increases lung capacity and strengthens and tones the entire respiratory and nervous system. With our breathing and yoga we can also change the way that we feel. Sphere breathing – introduce mechanics of the breath with the sphere Finger breathing – in and out for 5.

Standing Partner stretch and ease each other back down to the floor – Working together is fun! Peace Breath – Can’t sit still and want to relax - very calming Relaxation Relax your body Deep relaxation is very good for our bodies – it relaxes our muscles and minds helping us to think more clearly while feeling peaceful and calm. A great way to relax our bodies is with some meditation. Meditation is an exercise we do to still the mind by focusing on one topic, phrase or word. Meditation can be simply closing your eyes and listening to the wind or feeling your heart beat. Meditation can be sitting quietly while you journey to wondrous places – a bit like a daydream. We are totally relaxed but still awake. People sit in different positions for meditation – some sit cross legged, in half or full lotus. Some people like to sit in a chair or even lying down. You will find the position that is most comfortable for you. Perhaps today we will all lie down. I invite you to close your eyes but some of you might prefer to keep them open and that’s fine too … keep your gaze at the ceiling. Remember you can meditate anywhere. In fact, you can meditate for a few minutes in your school classroom without anyone knowing even knowing. Lemon toes Baby Nidra Guided imagery/non lyrical calming music – age dependant. Chimes, 3 deep breaths, Namaste .

  • The Toxic Guardians — Multiple Toxin-Antitoxin Systems Provide Stability, Avoid Deletions and Maintain Virulence Genes of Pseu
    Bardaji et al. Mobile DNA (2019) 10:7 https://doi.org/10.1186/s13100-019-0149-4 RESEARCH Open Access The toxic guardians — multiple toxin- antitoxin systems provide stability, avoid deletions and maintain virulence genes of Pseudomonas syringae virulence plasmids Leire Bardaji1, Maite Añorga1, Myriam Echeverría1, Cayo Ramos2 and Jesús Murillo1* Abstract Background: Pseudomonas syringae is a γ-proteobacterium causing economically relevant diseases in practically all cultivated plants. Most isolates of this pathogen contain native plasmids collectively carrying many pathogenicity and virulence genes. However, P. syringae is generally an opportunistic pathogen primarily inhabiting environmental reservoirs, which could exert a low selective pressure for virulence plasmids. Additionally, these plasmids usually contain a large proportion of repeated sequences, which could compromise plasmid integrity. Therefore, the identification of plasmid stability determinants and mechanisms to preserve virulence genes is essential to understand the evolution of this pathogen and its adaptability to agroecosystems. Results: The three virulence plasmids of P. syringae pv. savastanoi NCPPB 3335 contain from one to seven functional stability determinants, including three highly active toxin-antitoxin systems (TA) in both pPsv48A and pPsv48C. The TA systems reduced loss frequency of pPsv48A by two orders of magnitude, whereas one of the two replicons of pPsv48C likely confers stable inheritance by itself. Notably, inactivation of the TA systems from pPsv48C exposed the plasmid to high-frequency deletions promoted by mobile genetic elements. Thus, recombination between two copies of MITEPsy2 caused the deletion of an 8.3 kb fragment, with a frequency of 3.8 ± 0.3 × 10− 3. Likewise, one-ended transposition of IS801 generated plasmids containing deletions of variable size, with a frequency of 5.5 ± 2.1 × 10− 4, of which 80% had lost virulence gene idi.

  • Researchers Watch Quantum Knots Untie 21 October 2019
    Researchers watch quantum knots untie 21 October 2019 The researchers hope their new study opens up new avenues in experimental research. One of the key breakthroughs in the study was being able to have better control over the state of the quantum gas, which allowed them to detect changes in its structure, like the decay of the knots and the formation of the vortex. Particle densities related to the decay of the quantum knot (left), which surprised researchers by untying itself after a few microseconds and eventually turning into the spin vortex (right). Credit: Tuomas Ollikainen/Aalto University A quantum gas can be tied into knots using magnetic fields. Our researchers were the first to produce these knots as part of a collaboration between Aalto University and Amherst College, U.S., and they have now studied how the knots behave over time. The surprising result is that the knots untie themselves over a short period of time, before turning into a vortex. The research was mainly carried out by Tuomas Ollikainen, a Ph.D. student at Aalto university who split his time between carrying out experimental work in Amherst in Massachusetts, and analyzing the data and developing his theories at Aalto. "We hadn't been able to study the dynamics of these sorts of three-dimensional structures experimentally before, so this is the first step to this The experimental set-up at Amherst College where direction." says Ollikainen.
