Yoga For Back Pain

Here are some yoga poses that can help relieve lower back pain:

Child's Pose (Balasana): Start on your hands and knees and slowly lower your hips back toward your heels, stretching your arms out in front of you. This pose can help stretch and lengthen the spine, providing relief for lower back pain.

Cat-Cow Stretch (Chakravakasana): Start on your hands and knees and alternate between arching your back up towards the ceiling (cow) and rounding it down towards the floor (cat). This gentle movement helps to stretch and strengthen the muscles in your back.

Downward-Facing Dog (Adho Mukha Svanasana): Start on your hands and knees, tuck your toes under and lift your hips up and back, straightening your arms and legs. This pose helps to stretch the entire spine and relieve tension in the back.

Cobra Pose (Bhujangasana): Lie on your stomach with your hands under your shoulders and slowly lift your chest up, keeping your elbows close to your sides. This pose helps to strengthen the muscles in your back and relieve pain.

Sphinx Pose (Salamba Bhujangasana): Lie on your stomach with your elbows under your shoulders and your forearms on the ground. Lift your chest up while keeping your lower ribs and pelvis on the ground. This pose helps to strengthen the spine and relieve tension in the back.

Pigeon Pose (Eka Pada Rajakapotasana): From a low lunge position, slide your right knee forward between your hands and extend your left leg back behind you. Lower down onto your forearms or a block, and hold for a few deep breaths. Repeat on the other side.

Thread the Needle Pose (Parsva Balasana): Start on your hands and knees and thread your right arm under your left arm, lowering your right shoulder and ear to the ground. Hold for a few deep breaths, then repeat on the other side.

Supine Twist (Supta Matsyendrasana): Lie on your back with your knees bent and feet on the ground. Drop your knees to the right, twisting your spine and extending your left arm out to the side. Hold for a few deep breaths, then repeat on the other side.

Remember, it's important to listen to your body and not push yourself too far in these poses. If you experience any pain or discomfort, stop immediately and seek advice from a yoga teacher or healthcare professional.

#MapMondays 1930 plan to fill New York Harbor with landfill! The proposal by T. Kennard Thomson was originally published in 1911 in Popular Science and would have filled the entire East River with landfill in addition to creating new peninsulas off of Staten Island, Bayonne and Sandy Hook, totaling fifty square miles! With the East River gone, Thomson proposed connecting the Long Island Sound back to the harbor by digging a new channel from Flushing through Brooklyn. Thomson revised the plan in 1930 (seen above), naming the new landfill City of New Manhattan, half of which would be in the state of New Jersey, separated by the extension of Broadway which would be a grand boulevard over railroad tracks flowing into a tunnel to Staten Island. This grand boulevard would be four miles long and three levels high, with trains, automobiles, and airplane landings! Tunnels would also go from Sunset Park to Bayonne, Red Hook to Jersey City, and Cobble Hill to Jersey City. #redhook #jerseycity #cobblehill #manhattan #nychistory #urbanism #longislandcity #queensny #statenisland #bayonne #eastriver #popularmechanics #civilengineering #brooklyn #dumbo #brooklynheights #tribreca #nyc #nyharbor #hudsonriver #longislandsound #urbanplanning #lowermanhattan #fidi #nycurbanism (at Governors Island) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cia2xlcOJP4/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

[straightened-out]

On the night of November 15, 2013, a woman driving with her daughter on Ellsworth Avenue in the Bronx saw a parked Lincoln whose driver’s door was partly open. A man’s leg was extended toward the street as if he may have suffered a heart attack or been overcome with drink as he was trying to step out. The woman was preparing to offer assistance when she saw that he had a gunshot wound to the head and that blood was streaming from both his ears. The victim was Michael Meldish, who with his brother Joseph once headed the murderous Purple Gang, named after a Depression-era Detroit outfit. Some have called his killing New York’s last bonafide Mafia hit. Meldish’s crew once did dirty work for the Lucchese, Genovese and Bonanno crime families. But Meldish made the fatal mistake of refusing to pay a gambling debt owed to MattyMadonna, who was then the acting boss of the Lucchese family. Madonna, 84, ordered Meldish be taken out. Stephen Crea, the underboss, helped Madonna make the decision and relayed the order. Londonio, a made member of the family, helped set up Meldish, who was his friend. Caldwell, a mob associate, fired the fatal shot and fled the scene in a car driven by Londonio. This could go down as the last official mafia hit to have taken place.

Cropsey- The real-life Boogeyman

The Boogeyman does exist and he lived in Staten Island, New York City. Now he remains locked up.

Many moons ago, the parents of Staten island and I’m sure elsewhere, would warn their children of the Boogeyman. It was a tactic used to scare the kids into not straying too far from home. Siblings would torment the young ones with stories of the Boogeyman kidnapping children and taking them to a faraway land. That was the general storyline, shared across the world. But Staten Island had their version. They would say that a homicidal man, an escaped mental patient with a hook for a hand, would hunt children. Drag them to the tunnel system under the abandoned Seaview hospital and keep them there. However, it was always known as a campfire-type tale until…1987, when a man made the story come to life.

Andre Rand (photos below) was a janitor at the Willowbrook State school, Staten Island. It was a school for intellectually disabled children. In the 1970’s it turned into a nightmare institution, it was eventually closed down in 1987 after it came out that the children there had been abused. They were sexually abused and practised corporal punishment and there was a major overcrowding issue; the school was also generally unsanitary. The janitor was too busy doing other things… Willowbrook was home to one of the most unethical medical experiments- Hepatitis research. The staff would inject healthy children with the virus, making them extremely ill. The public was not aware of the torment the children were going through, for a while. Most of the children were abandoned by their parents or the foster system. In 1972 the institution was exposed by Geraldo Rivera, a journalist, leading the school to be shut down fifteen years later. The year it closed down for good was the year Andre Rand, the former janitor was arrested in connection with a disappearance.

Jennifer Schweiger was a twelve-year-old girl with down syndrome. She went missing in 1987 and was suspected to have been kidnapped by Andre Rand. She had last been seen with him. At the time, Rand was living in a makeshift campsite on the abandoned school property, not far from the Seaview hospital. There’s a connection to the original urban legend. A month after Jennifer’s disappearance, a body was found in a shallow grave on the desolate school grounds. Rand was charged with murder. There’s a second SNAP with the Boogeyman tale. By this time Rand had a long list of offences against children on him. A few years prior, Andre Rand was sentenced to sixteen months for attempted sexual assault against a nine-year-old. That’s one of his offences, from a very long list of them.

Going back to the year 1987, Rand was sentenced again for the kidnapping of a bus full of children. The police force of Staten Island suspected him of the disappearances of four other people, that go back as far as a decade.

Alice Pereira was a five-year-old girl who went missing in 1972.

Holly Ann Hughes was a seven-year-old girl who went missing in 1981, she was last seen with Rand.

Tiahease Jackson went missing in 1983.

Hank Gafforio was a twenty-two-year-old man with a learning disability, he was last seen with Rand in a diner before he went missing.

These four people have still not been found.

The jury did not have enough evidence to charge Andre Rand with the murder of Jennifer Schweiger, the girl with down syndrome, but they did manage to send him down for the kidnapping of her, for twenty-five years. This real-life Boogeyman was eligible for parole in 2008 but in 2004 he was convicted of a second kidnapping, the kidnapping of Holly Ann Hughes. He was sentenced to another twenty-five years in prison. An inmate noted down a conversation with him where Rand was discussing the abduction of Ann Hughes in much detail, this is how he was charged again.

So there we have it. A harmless urban legend to spook kids turned into a real-life tale of evilness. The photos below show you what Andre Rand looked like at the time of his convictions, missing posters, the abandoned school grounds and a shot from inside the abomination of a school.
