Talk:Art Is Resistance
From NinWiki
Regarding the dates provided by soonerlater
(please, someone organize this discussion page later :P)
I think that the first dat doesn't matter. It's just soonerlater's mother's birthday. The real thing is that she died in the Oklahoma attack and that is the reason why soonerlater disagree with TheWarden. Oxxxid 16:24, 10 April 2007 (PDT)
And on the 19th of April 1995 a truck bomb at Federal Building in Oklahoma City explodes, killing 168 in an anti-government movement. It seems to fit the motive of the thread, make art not war.
--Quentin 17:11, 22 February 2007 (PST)
That was just a short summary, motive may not be the correct word. If you have been following this since the beginning, there have been many violent acts of resistance throughout the sites leading up to year zero. Everything to do with Year Zero to date has been fictional and set in a future time. This is the first instance I have seen a date mentioned on the Year Zero sites that is set in real time. Originally I put all of this info into the talk section of the article, but after reading the theory section already on display I decided to move it to the main page. I didn't create the theory page, but I thought it was less logical then the discoveries I had made so I shifted it there. You might not see the connection with the bombings, however it is a violent act of resistance against a government force, much in tune with the theme of yearzero. I see the boy using his mothers death as an example of where violent acts of resistance cost unnecessary lives, in response to TheWardens comment. The whole thread is an argument about art as a form of resistance compared to actual violent acts. Another reason I had moved it to the main page is that barely any people visit the talk section unless its to have a whinge, so out in the open in a "theories" section people can draw there own conclusions and maybe put a few more peices together. When someone creates a more indepth theories page surrounding the yearzero events, im sure it can be moved there. The point of this wikipedia isn't just to collect and display facts but to also help solve the puzzle.--Quentin 22:41, 22 February 2007 (PST)
No the AIR site opposes it, as do most of the people on the artist forum. When I said "make art not war" I was coming from the point of view that up til now most of yearzero has been about violent resistance, where as now people are coming forward who are against it. Going along with the theory, the bombing was just an instance soonerlater used to say "violence doesn't help the cause, it only causes more pain" in response to TheWarden's view. I tried to simplfy my theories so i didnt clutter the theory page but it seems it has caused it to come across meaning something different then what was intended. I've rewritten the last part of that paragraph to try make it a little easier to explain --Quentin 23:12, 22 February 2007 (PST)
This is probably a -really- big stretch, but in the dates listed, if you add up the digits of the first few numbers (10, 1967), it adds up to... 24 (1 + 1 + 9 + 6 + 7). If you then look at "Apr 19, 1995" seperate that into "Apr 19" and "1995", convert April to it's month number (4) and add up the digits to the first one (4 + 1 + 9), you end up with 14. The sum of the last few digits (1 + 9 + 9 + 5) are also 24, leaving you with 24.14.24. Total stretch, but track 14 on Year Zero is Another Version of the Truth, the fourteenth character being the last one: 'h'. --Drake 23:45, 22 February 2007 (PST)
Thats a pretty good observation. One more thing about that site is the dates all read 02/03/000 in both the posts and the reproductions in the background, unlike on the rest of the forum where 02/10/0000 is reflected as 02/04/0000. An exception to this though is Iridium's post where 02/03/0000 which appears to reflect as 02/00/0000... no day? --Quentin 18:58, 22 February 2007 (PST)
About The Warden
Has anyone considered the fact that this TheWarden person might be The Angry Sniper? His writing style seems rather similar, both in the gratuitous use of profanity and the extremely high levels of condescension present. If he's not the Sniper himself, perhaps he's another veteran from the 105th?
Just a thought.
-- Wesker 19:22, 5 March 2007 (PST)
I think the .38 to .45 is a reference to gun calibers personally, not religion. Oh and see how they mention World War 4 in there, asif world war 3 has already happened? cool.
Air Logo
"The AIR logo might be seen to resemble, highly stylized, the hand-shape known as 'the Presence' (a thumb and three fingers)." The AIR logo also can be seen to resemble a highly stylised American flag, with a single star and three stripes. --Kabl00ey 23:38, 24 March 2007 (PDT)
I'd like to suggest creating a seperate page for the logo/emblem as it has turned up in recent releases (ie the "Letting You" song image). Maybe we can point out the diffent places it has appeared (OSR website, etc). Thoughts? Aeontriad 14:39, 23 June 2008 (PDT)
I took a stab at cleaning up the Theories section. Is it safe to take the wikify tag down? MadCactus 17:23, 10 April 2007 (PDT)
New AiR site
I know it's only a possibility, But has anyone checked out spira.tv yet? "Spira studio's" email server. there is a barcode on the main page, and i dont have a scanner

October 1, 2003 Author Elizabeth Peters to Discuss New Book on November 4
Press Contact: Audrey Fischer (202) 707-0022
Public Contact: Emily Howie (202) 707-5771
Elizabeth Peters (the pen name of Egyptologist Barbara Mertz), creator of the popular Amelia Peabody mystery series, will deliver the annual Judith Austin Memorial Lecture at the Library of Congress at noon on Tuesday, Nov. 4, in the Mumford Room on the sixth floor of the Library's James Madison Memorial Building, 101 Independence Avenue S.E. The lecture, titled "Amelia Peabody's Egypt," is free and open to the public. Peters will discuss her latest book, her beloved main characters the Emersons, and Egypt past and present. The lecture will be followed by a book-signing.
Under the pen name Elizabeth Peters, Mertz has written 15 historical mysteries set in Egypt featuring Amelia Peabody and Radcliffe Emerson, a husband-and-wife team of Victorian Egyptologists. In addition to the Amelia Peabody series, she has written approximately 50 thrillers under the pen names of Elizabeth Peters and Barbara Michaels. In real life, she is an expert on Egypt who holds a Ph.D. in the subject from the University of Chicago and is the author (writing under her own name) of two important scholarly works on Egyptology ("Red Land, Black Land: The World of the Ancient Egyptians," and "Temples, Tombs, and Hieroglyphs: The Story of Egyptology").
The beautifully illustrated "Amelia Peabody's Egypt" combines the fictional world of the extended Emerson family and their friends with the archaeology of ancient Egypt's temples and tombs. This extensive compendium explores the remarkable land of Egypt from the age of the pharaohs through the Napoleonic era to the first World War. Primarily set during the Victorian era, the work is also a window into the attitudes of the British Empire, as well as the customs and fashions of the time.
This lecture series was established by the Library's Humanities and Social Sciences Division as a tribute to Judith Austin and her many years of service to the Library of Congress.

Reflections on Performing Cougar – Dayna McLeod
Photo by: Michele P. Clarke
Cougar For a Year was a yearlong, durational performance piece that I began on June 1, 2012 in which I dressed in nothing but animal print clothing, 24/7, to question the stereotype of the 'cougar' (a woman over 40 who aggressively demonstrates her sexuality). The original intent of this project was to investigate, live, and try on stereotypes of the 'cougar' by wearing her uniform, which I named as animal print for the sake of the project. I chose animal print as the cougar's uniform for its visibility, clarity, and literalization of representing the 'cougar,' and for the sexual signification that animal print performs in western culture.
Cougar For a Year was launched with a cabaret called Cougarliscious, and a closing event marked its end in a finale in which I gave away my animal print wardrobe and re-performed Yoko Ono's Cut Piece. While I was originally interested in performance as an objectless art form, the demands of maintaining a contemporary art practice insists on professionalization and documentation. I was diligent at documenting the project every day through an online interactive database (CougarThis.com), which included daily photographs, diary entries, video, and a Cougar Sightings section where online users could contribute pictures of people wearing animal print or other animal print sightings. The rigorous documentation process for this project was crucial to my success and was necessary not only as a representation of the project, but as a device to ensure that I performed the project every single day. Having to take a picture of myself and post it on the internet every day guaranteed that the project stayed true to itself, whether I felt like dressing head-to-toe in animal print or not.
Perception, Collaboration, and Presence
A key element to Cougar For a Year was how others perceived the 'cougar,' not just through existing media texts and cultural stereotypes, but when confronted with her in person. In addition to public interactions and observations that included Performing Proximity – where I would stand next to or follow a person wearing the same animal print as I was – and Cougar Mama – a retooled, 'cougared' version of a previous durational work in which a bar-attending public is invited to suck vodka from one of twenty-one vinyl breasts – I was also interested in how photographers would use and represent the 'cougar,' as the photographer is traditionally, historically, and formally considered to be a proxy for the audience. It was with this intent that I collaborated with photographers Anne Guillaume, Nikol Mikus, Val Desjardins, Vincent Dilio, Michele P. Clarke, Marisa Portolese, Pierre Dalpé, and Paul Litherland to create representations of my embodiment of the 'cougar' over the course of the project. Here, I was interested in a collaborative relationship that pushed the boundaries of my practice by placing myself in the hands of another artist and relinquishing control of my subjectivity. In these collaborations, I was often represented in campy fashion poses. Here, my portrayal of the archetype of the 'cougar' often indulged in a confident sexualization of her without addressing the lived experience of women who identify or are identified as cougars. Each photographer captured a performed fiction of a performative moment while addressing the potential for fictionalized representation through photography in dialogue with performance documentation.

In contrast, I intended for the online images that represented my daily wearing of animal print to act as markers of durationality and of my experience that could be read as factual proof of the whole endeavour. While I intended for these website images to function as markers of presence, they were not to serve as replacements of presence. However, our dependence on images as replacements for an initial witnessing of a performative experience through photographic truth serves to disrupt the hierarchy of presence. A common response when I saw people offline was: "Oh I have to go to your website to see what you are doing." To which I would reply, "but look! I am doing it now – in real life! In person!"
I am interested in this response as it relates to presence and absence, because the audience's presence often comes at the expense of the artist's absence and the object that the author produces.[1] Photographs in particular foster the audience's sense of presence; the photographic audience has the license to ignore the work's origin because of its reliance on the image. Thus an audience to Cougar For a Year may prefer to see a photographic representation of my performance – either the authentic daily 'selfies' or fictional collaborative portraits – over my original presence as art object or performance that is encountered live. Presumably, the experience of Cougar For a Year mediated by images is somehow explained and contextualized more succinctly than in a 'real life' encounter.
The End: Cougarliscious Point Final.
On May 31, 2013 I ended Cougar For a Year at La Centrale Galerie Powerhouse, a feminist artist-run centre in Montreal. This closing featured two works: a re-performance of Yoko Ono's Cut Piece and Cougar Photo Booth, in which participants traded their image for a piece of my cougar wardrobe.
Cougar Photo Booth was a collaboration with Nikol Mikus and Alyson Wishnousky. More than 150 items of clothing from Cougar For a Year (minus items with holes or those ragged from too much wear) were displayed on racks as though in a thrift shop or clothing store in the gallery. Members of the attending public were invited to dress up in items from the collection and if they wanted to keep anything, I asked for their image in return for the item. Photographs were taken by Mikus and styled by Wishnousky. My intent for giving away my wardrobe was to disseminate pieces into the community. I liked the idea of elements from Cougar For a Year making their way into the real lives of members of the public. This was also a very cathartic experience, which I did not anticipate. When I saw someone else in my clothes at the closing event, I felt a swell of nostalgia and pleasure at seeing my clothes reconfigured, re-appreciated, and heading out the door. There were a handful of items left over, and I am currently in the process of making a quilt out of these remnants to create a non-digital artifact of the project.
Re-performance of Yoko Ono's Cut Piece
When Yoko Ono first performed Cut Piece in 1964, it took roughly 9 minutes for her clothes to be cut off. When I re-performed Cut Piece as part of Cougar For a Year, it took about an hour.
"How can we think about time, identity, femininity, masochism, gender, race, display, spectatorship and temporality in this piece? What is the self that comes undone in 9 minutes for an audience and is it feminist? What is the time of action? What is the time of passivity? How can we think about this refusal of self as an anti-liberal act, a revolutionary statement of pure opposition?"[2]
Within her practice, Ono often used the female subject to expose its gendered vulnerability. In Cut Piece, Ono's body is slowly revealed as members of the public cut away portions of her clothes while she passively sits and "comes undone" at the hands of the audience. As J. Halberstam observes, "the audience is mixed but as the performance unfolds, more and more men come to the stage and they become more and more aggressive about cutting her clothing until she is left, semi nude, hands over her breasts, her castration, vulnerability and passivity fully on display."[3] This stripping of self at the hands of the (predominantly male) audience articulates the violence of patriarchy and a physically enacted colonialism through a vulnerability that places its trust in the audience, a trust that they will hopefully not betray.
When I decided to re-perform Cut Piece, I was interested in how my re-enactment would function in dialogue with Ono's original performance and the many re-enactments that have been staged of this piece by herself and other artists since. I was particularly interested in the work's history, Ono's conceptual practice, her use of the body, and her cultural profile.[4] I was also interested in how this conversation between our practices (Ono's and mine) would be impacted by time, repetition, vulnerability, and my incorporation of this work into the larger Cougar For a Year project.

Context and audience are the greatest differences between Ono's original staging of Cut Piece and my re-enactment of it (other than the 50-year difference between the events, her obvious celebrity, and our differences as artists). As a feminist gallery with a 40-year history, La Centrale was the ideal location and context for me to perform this work. At no time did I feel like I was in physical danger, unlike Ono who experienced an atmosphere of violence when she performed Cut Piece at Carnegie Hall in 1964.[5] The gallery was packed with people, and they were very respectful. I felt that the entire audience was taking care of me. I tried to stay as true to Ono's still and silent embodiment as possible; I did not speak with members of the attending public as they cut my clothes off of me. There were more than a few instances of discomfort for the audience, which I discovered in the hours, days and months to follow. It was a remarkable experience since in the planning I thought that it might take twenty minutes, but never considered that it would take upwards of an hour. This was a fascinating exercise for me as a performer. I am usually quite animated when I perform, but with this work, there was no persona or character that I was embodying – I was (trying to be) myself. I think that this particular audience (also made up of friends and my community) was accustomed to seeing me in a cabaret setting with an amplified personality, while here I was trying to embody passivity in order to best stay true to Ono's original work. I think that, in combination with the format of the performance in terms of length, my vulnerability, and audience responsibility, this made the audience uneasy.
I noticed three moments through the duration of the piece when the audience seemed to take a collective sigh that it might be over: first, after about two-thirds of my dress had been cut away, a second time when someone cut my bra strap, and a third time when a woman managed to cut the surface fabric of my bra away, leaving the beige padding in place and remaining to cover my right nipple. However, when I did not get up to leave at these junctures to signal that the piece was over, the tension in the room mounted, with members of the audience getting increasingly anxious as I sat there, some people physically leaving the space, others plotting how to cut the rest of my clothes off, and a few projecting their expectations of the work onto my body while interpreting my experience as negative.
Three different women, two of whom I did not know, approached to "help me out" because of my "obvious discomfort," which I think is significant. Both whispered into my ear while they cut away large pieces of my remaining garments, softly murmuring that they could help get me away from the scrutiny of the crowd. A few performer friends also approached to "help": the first an actress who found the whole process and timing "excruciating," while a performance artist friend declared she would help me find an ending for a piece that had "obviously not been considered." What I find interesting about these responses is that despite my relative comfort and relaxation with the proceedings, they (all women) interpreted my prolonged public nudity as distress, and were impatient with the rest of the audience's management of my modesty.
A Cougar Without Clothes
Although the 'cougar' was my starting point for Cougar For a Year and I am still fascinated with this archetype, I did not necessarily do her justice. Animal print is not exclusively her uniform, because it is not that simple. Something that I wasn't able to articulate at the start of the project that I now see thanks to Joanne Entwistle, is the way that "dress works on the body, imbuing it with social meaning, while the body is a dynamic field that gives life and fullness to dress."[6] Age, attitude, class, and race are all contributing factors to how the 'cougar' is perceived or even recognized which is further complicated by context, sexual identity, and the presence or absence of a younger object of desire. Clothes activate the surface of the body and can act as signifiers or accessories of identity but they are not identity in themselves. Animal print helps clarify 'cougar' but it is not a defining characteristic. Without her body, her clothes have no meaning.

Are you getting support to help you quit?
Changes have been made to the way we support you during COVID-19 as well as the ways you can get stop smoking medications and vouchers.
For full details on how the stop smoking service will work read our support for quitting smoking post, which includes information for pregnant smokers.
Have a look at what support you can get to help you stop smoking. You can also find out about the dangers of smoking and statistics about smoking in North East Lincolnshire.
Quitting is probably the best thing you will ever do to improve your health. The council has trained advisors that can provide help and support tailored to your needs. Several thousand smokers have quit with the service over the last few years with more than half of the people making a quit attempt managing to do so successfully. For more information get in touch with our Wellbeing service.
Electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) are similar in appearance to a cigarette that delivers a warm mist to the airway of users when drawing on the mouthpiece. Nicotine and other substances such as flavourings may be included in the fluid vapourised by the device.
Their use has become widespread and it is reported that there are 2.6 million people using them in the UK.
What are the health impacts of using electronic cigarettes ?
Knowledge of the health impacts of using e-cigarettes is evolving and North East Lincolnshire Public Health team support the position of Public Health England that e-cigarettes are significantly less harmful to health than smoking. They do not contain the cancer causing chemicals that are present in cigarettes smoke and therefore will have a much lower risk of any serious long term health implications.
Can electronic cigarettes help people to quit smoking ?
A number of studies have shown that electronic cigarettes can help smokers quit smoking and studies of their effects on tobacco withdrawal and craving suggest good potential as smoking cessation aids.
Is there a risk to bystanders from electronic cigarette vapour?
Most second-hand smoke from cigarettes comes from the burning tip, known as sidestream smoke. By contrast, electronic cigarettes do not generate any sidestream vapour. What is emitted into the air is exhaled by the electronic cigarette user. This comprises nicotine and some other particles, primarily consisting of flavours, aroma transporters, glycerol and propylene glycol.
A recent review of the impact of electronic cigarettes noted that passive exposure to the aerosol can expose non-users to nicotine but at concentrations that are unlikely to have any significant health impact. While electronic cigarette vapour can contain some of the toxicants present in tobacco smoke these are at much lower levels. One preliminary study found that the concentration of particles in electronic cigarette vapour was about 100-fold lower than from tobacco smoke and poses no identifiable risk to bystanders.
Are electronic cigarettes a gateway to smoking?
There has been a concern that electronic cigarettes could act as a 'gateway' to smoking tobacco among young people and to the 'renormalisation' of smoking. Whilst some never-smokers are experimenting with electronic cigarettes, regular use is rare among children and current electronic cigarette use is confined largely to those who have already tried smoking. There is a risk of young people becoming addicted to nicotine if they use electronic cigarettes and non smokers would be advised not to experiment with them.
Counterfeit and smuggled tobacco is commonly found in North East Lincolnshire. It is illegal to sell non duty paid tobacco and the Council employ a Tobacco Enforcement Officer to identify businesses and individuals who trade in such goods. For more information about illegal tobacco, see our Trading standards pages.
Make your home smoke free and protect your family
If you smoke then you will be putting at risk your health as well as that of your children and other members of the household.
The best way to protect your family from the dangers of cigarette smoke is to make your home smoke free. That means going right away from the house to smoke. No level of cigarette smoke is safe. Smoking in front of children also sends a message that smoking is acceptable, rather than a deadly addictive habit.
Smoking is the single biggest killer in accidental fires in the home. If you do choose to smoke stub cigarettes out properly, dispose of them carefully and always ensure that you keep matches and lighters out of children's reach.
What doesn't work:
- Opening a window
- Standing by the door
- Only smoking in one room
- Only smoking when your children aren't there
- Putting on a fan
What does work:
- Always go outside the house to smoke (even if your children aren't there)
- Make people aware your home is smokefree and ask visitors not to smoke in the house
- Have an ashtray ready to take outside to collect cigarette ends
- Put a coat by the back door
Benefits of a smoke free home:
- A healthier home for you and your children
- Your health will improve if you smoke less cigarettes
- Your children won't see you smoking and are less likely to copy you
- A smoke free home is a fresher, brighter home that doesn't need decorating so often
- A smoke free home is a safer home – more fires in the home are caused by cigarettes than any other single cause
- Your pets' health will also benefit
New legislation came into force on 1st October 2015 that makes it an offence to smoke in cars when young people under 18 are present.
When the ban on smoking in pubs and workplaces came in to effect in 2007, it made a huge difference in protecting adults from the effects of second hand smoke , but did little for children. This new law will protect as many as one in three children in North East Lincolnshire who are currently exposed to smoking in the car by parents and relatives. Second-hand smoke is particularly dangerous in the car, where even with the window down or air conditioning on, smoking can result in dangerous concentrations of toxic chemicals – many of which are invisible to the naked eye
Reducing harm from smoking is one of our priorities and this includes not only harm to smokers themselves but also to their families. We know from a survey of over 1000 local people carried out in 2013 that eight out of ten adults in the area strongly support a ban. The best way smokers can reduce the harm to themselves and their children from tobacco smoke is to quit smoking. Over 1,000 smokers have quit smoking in the last 2 years in our area with the free help and support available from the local stop smoking service.
At the present time, North East Lincolnshire has one of the highest levels of smoking in England with corresponding high levels of smoking related ill health. Children are particularly sensitive to smoke and suffer from increased respiratory problems such as asthma, wheezing, coughs and colds. The new legislation will help to reduce the 300,000 extra visits made by children to their doctors nationally due to exposure to second hand smoke".
Imagine a world where no young person under 16 smokes Cigarettes. Do you think that this can be achieved?
The answer is yes.
The numbers of young people (aged between 11 and 16) who smoke has been going down rapidly and now only 5% of young people (one in 20) smoke. It is projected that the likely number of young people smoking will reach zero percent by about 2025.
Children who start smoking before the age of 16 are twice as likely to continue as adults. Those who start smoking before the age of 16 are also more likely to be heavier smokers.
Breathe 2025 is a new initiative that aims to have within the next decade a generation of children that are all tobacco-free.
The Breathe 2025 campaign asks people to make public, practical and personal commitments to help inspire the next generation of young people to be smokefree. There is a simple mechanism to do this: indicate support by pledging on-line to one or more actions at www.breathe2025.org.uk
These are some of the things that can be done :-
For adults
- Pledge to stop smoking if you are a smoker
- Encourage young people to avoid tobacco use by quitting and supporting others to quit (especially the young and vulnerable).
- Pledge to keep your home completely smoke free
- Pledge to tell your children you really don't want them to start smoking and would be disappointed and upset if they do.

There are more than 7 million UK smokers who started smoking before the age of 18. Half of all long term smokers will be killed by their addiction. 100,000 people die of a smoking-related illness every year in the UK.
Every year, around 4,100 people in Yorkshire and The Humber are diagnosed with lung cancer and 3,400 people die from it.
Every day 51 children, aged 11-15, start smoking in the region. Trying just one cigarette can make children more likely to start smoking several years later.
Tobacco is a unique product. It is the only consumable that, when used in the way the manufacturer intends, kills half of its users.
Most smokers start to become regular smokers before they are 20 years of age. If they have not started smoking at this age, it is unlikely that they ever will.
The number of people who smoke in North East Lincolnshire is reducing quite significantly in all age groups.
The percentage of adults smoking has reduced from 30.4% in 2010 to 23.3% by the end of 2014. This is still however above the national average of 18% and one of the highest rates in the country.
The percentage of young people smoking has dropped dramatically. Only 7.7% of 15 year olds smoke now compared to 19.7% in 2007. Teenage girls are still much more likely than boys to smoke but the gap is narrowing.
Three times more people smoke in some wards in North East Lincolnshire than others. East and West Marsh and parts of South, Sidney Sussex and Heneage have the highest levels with about 40% of adults smoking. In general, the poorer the ward you live in the more likely it is that smoking levels in that ward will be high. This variation in smoking levels between wards is responsible for much of the difference in life expectancy in different parts of our area.
The Public Health team hold a large amount of data on local smoking statistics and are happy to provide help to students or others who might wish to access local statistics. For further information email email@example.com.
Children have very little control over breathing in cigarette smoke so it is up to adults to protect them. Babies and young children's lungs and immune systems are not fully developed. Over 80% of cigarette smoke is invisible.
- children are more likely to get coughs and colds and ear infections
- the chance of your child getting asthma doubles
- babies are more at risk of cot death
- children are more at risk of meningitis
- tobacco smoke contains 4,000 chemicals of which over 50 are known to cause cancer
- Tar is known to cause both cancer and lung damage
- Carbon monoxide is a gas found in car exhaust fumes

As of February 7, 2014, only 10% of uninsured consumers age 18 – 64 said they have selected health insurance coverage for 2014. With only seven weeks until the end of open enrollment under ObamaCare for 2014, it appears that a small proportion of uninsured will have coverage this year. Only 37% have visited a state or Federal marketplace and only 53% of those who have not yet visited the insurance marketplace expect to do so before March 31st.
Most group and direct pay consumers have renewed for 2014
In contrast, 82% of consumers with employer group coverage have selected coverage for 2014 and 76% of those with a direct pay plan have enrolled in coverage for the rest of 2014. Overall, 63% of all consumers surveyed have coverage for the remainder of 2014.
Age is not as critical a factor as income
Older consumers (45 – 64) are only slightly more likely to have selected coverage than 31 – 44 year olds or 18 – 30 year olds, however, college graduates are much more likely to have selected coverage compared to those with a High School education or less.
Engaged consumers made their choice
Engaged consumers are much more likely to have already selected coverage. Almost 80% of Engaged consumers have selected coverage compared to 45% of the Disengaged.

4 Steps to the Perfect Prom Hairstyle
What is the very first thing that comes to mind when you are thinking about getting ready for homecoming or prom or even your wedding? Being cute? Being smart? Being on time? No, you think about being beautiful. You think about being glamorous. You think about being classy. You think about looking your best.
A perfect hair style is one that is totally compatible with your personality, lifestyle, hair texture, facial features and your body type. Your prom hair style should be just as suitable and easy to achieve as your everyday hair style. It is essential to choose your prom or wedding hair style with great care; it will be your head turning hair style that will leave the impression of how confident, glamorous, and elegant you are!
But how do you do that? Where do you start? How do you get it right for that special day? We have the answers!
Step 1 Face shape
Face shape is just one important feature that you must consider when deciding on a formal hairstyle. Luckily the girl with the oval face can choose almost any style she wants. Of course, you still must take into account your personality and lifestyle, your hair type and your body type.
Not everyone is so lucky to have the 'perfect' face shape, but luckily there are some tricks you can use to modify most any of your favorite hairstyles.Believe it or not, an up do is not for everyone! For instance, if you have a narrow, long face, you want to avoid pulling the hair tightly back away from the face, or letting it hang straight down the sides of the face. This will only cause your face to appear abnormally narrow. Instead, balance with bangs or a style that adds lots of fullness at the sides and not so much on the top of the head.
On the contrary, you ladies with a round face shape, will want to create the illusion of height to your overall look. Encourage the eye to scan up and down by choosing a hair style that will add height to the top of your head, thus making you look taller and leaner. You are the perfect candidate for an up do!
As a general rule, avoid duplicating the face shape with the hair shape. If you have a round face, don't settle on a round pouf hairdo just because you like it on the model; it will only make your face look unusually round. Instead, balance your round face shape with a blunt or angular cut.
Those of you who have a square jaw, need not fret. Your main goal when getting ready for a special occasion, such as prom or weddings is to create the illusion of softness to your overall look. Encourage the eye away from the sharp jaw-line by choosing a hair style that is curly or wavy.
Step 2 Hair type
We like to encourage our readers to "Go with the flow". In other words, choose a hairstyle that encourages your hair's natural tendencies, you don't have to worry about and up do that flops or a a blowout that falls flat. Make sure you take care of your particular hair type my choosing the products specifically formulated for you. Likewise, choose a hairstyle that will show off your natural hair type rather than suppress it. This way, you are not fighting against mother nature who is a very head strong lady indeed!
Straight Hair
Since this type of hair is typically fine and soft and tends to be oily, shampooing everyday is the best way to optimize the little body the hair has. Use a gentle, Everyday Shampoo (Normal to Dry Hair)everyday shampoo formulated for oily hair. Condition hair once a week, only to avoid heaviness of the hair shaft.
Wavy Hair
Generally this moderately course hair type is neither oily nor dry unless there is some kind of damage, like sun or chlorine damage. This type of hair can be washed daily or every other day with a Everyday Shampoo (Normal to Dry Hair)gentle normal type shampoo. Condition with a moisturizer once a week.
Curly Hair
Curly hair needs to be kept moist by shampooing with a moisturizing shampoo every three days. Hair should be rinsed daily with water, however. Use a conditioner after each shampoo and deep condition once a month.
Kinky Hair
This type should be shampooed either once or twice a week with a good protein enriched shampoo like Pantene shampoo + hydrating curl conditioner. Keep hair moist by spritzing with a conditioner or sheen to avoid breakage. Follow each shampoo with a moisturizing conditioner and deep condition hair 2 times a month to keep the hair supple.
Strep 3 Hairstyles for your Personality
One of the great things about the internet is that we can access hundreds, if not thousands of pictures of hairstyles from all over the world. Well, we don't need more than one for one special night, so what we find to be successful is to choose a style that suits our lifestyle and personality.
A girl who tends to be casual during the day, will most likely feel self-conscious in a glamorous up do that requires lots of prep and products. Likewise, a girly girl will feel under-dressed if she wears her hair hanging straight down. So we suggest finding a hairstyle that you feel good in and you will also find that you will feel much more comfortable and feel super confident at the same time! Here are our recommendations:
The Natural/Athletic girl's best prom up dos tend to be the more basic styles and colors, her hair styles are also less fussy. Being active, you generally keep your hair pulled away from your face, let's assume in a simple ponytail, so you're of those girls who, when they let their beautiful freshly washed tresses down and put on some lipstick people really notice.
The Romantic type loves all things feminine! Her best prom up do style and fabrics are soft flowing and so is your hair. When you think of trends you tend to think in terms of a century rather than a season, so you may wear your hair from the Victorian era. You often have a signature color (violet?) or hair style that you are very loyal to and perhaps known for your loyalty.
The Urban Chic look is easy for you once you realize that your prom up do will be big bold and striking. You believe in fashion that shocks, makeup that pushes the envelope and hair styles that are risky. You like it when people react to how you look and live. You are drawn to new fabrics; unique silhouettes and strong unusual adornment.
The Classic girl's best prom up do is sophisticated and elegant and can be downright glamorous. You are drawn to styles that are timeless and well made, no matter what, you are always in style. You are somewhat of a traditionalist and are attuned to what is flattering to you You classic ladies love the traditional styles that say simple and conservative.
The Creative type loves her ethnic and funky styles and unique color combos. You will feel perfectly at ease wearing a gown in black, or magenta. The best prom up do for you will be highly unique, to reflect your individuality. Hair stencils will set you apart from the rest.
Finally, lets talk about body type. Your hair style must be proportion to the rest of your body. Face size is another thing to consider. Too much hair surrounding a small face can be overwhelming. If you are a very tiny, petite young lady, be sure not to turn your up do into a BIG DO. It will only make you look top heavy. Likewise, super long or bushy hair will make you appear shorter than you are. Your up do should be no higher than your forehead and no wider than to the middle of your shoulders. You are small and your hairdo should be somewhat small, also. Proportion is key.
A larger face and body shape can carry a bigger hairdo. Your particular up do will of course depend upon your face shape, but when your hair is pulled back and up, it lets you look slimmer.
However, you don't want your head to look tiny in comparison to your body. If you have a small head or wide shoulders, make sure there is some volume at the sides of your hairstyle. This will give the effect of a more proportioned head size. You, though, can take a much more dramatic 'do in that your body type can carry it off. Lucky you!
Your most important task is to locate the one best hairstyle that's suitable in each of these 4 areas, so as to match your hairdo with YOU. Your job is to understand your individual attributes, so you will be able to determine if the hairstyle is the right one for you. This research will prove valuable for the rest of your life, for you will never be the victim of a style professionals whose recommendations disregard you as an individual.

The State of Minnesota's Department of Human Services (DHS) is the regulatory agency that provides support to people with disabilities. In other words, they control the money and enforce the parameters for how people with disabilities will live. If we the public don't like those parameters, it is up to us to change them. The question is, "How do we do that?" We must approach change through legal avenues such as asking our legislators for mandated reform, or initiating lawsuits.
I strongly disagree with DHS Commissioner Piper's reference in her August 22, 2016 Star-Tribune Op-ed Counterpoint article reprinted in last month's Access Press p.5, that, "It is unfortunate that we now must divert precious resources meant for people living with disabilities to defend lawsuits." This, in my mind, is circular thinking. If the resources were allocated in the first place, there would be no need for lawsuits. Lawsuits, like the one currently going forward from Disability Law regarding DHS segregating people in group homes, are not frivolous or unfortunate; they are necessary responses to a lack of proactive programming and funding on the part of Minnesota legislators, lawmakers, and DHS.
Currently our state faces a number of, shall we say, untenable parameters being maintained by legal decree and DHS. These include below poverty level income for people with disabilities, poverty level income for direct support staff working with people with disabilities, policies that restrict an individual's ability to live in the community, and a lack of living and employment options that meet the needs of the wide spectrum of disabilities served in our state.
As an outsider looking in, one might view our state as an oligarchy that supports "one size fits all models" like the four person group home. We are a state that continues to keep people with disabilities living in deep poverty, a state that offers a very limited selection of choices for individuals with disabilities, and a state that continues to equivocate when it comes to real change.
Commissioner Piper invites us to "pull together in the same direction" to support people with disabilities. We in the greater disability community are "pulled together," and we are weary of what feels like an old and well-worn litany on our part of "things must change." Often DHS will tell us they support needed change, but then hedge, throwing their hands up and saying their systems are just too complicated to accommodate a change; it would be cost prohibitive and take years and years to implement.
However, change is a necessity and governmental systems should not be a roadblock to improving services. Advocacy efforts will continue through the avenues available, including lawsuits and legislation. At The Minnesota Consortium for Citizens with Disabilities we have a new set of policy priorities for the 2017 legislature. Our hope, as always, is to create needed change for people with disabilities and the support workers who care for them. If funded, these priorities would positively affect many of the untenable parameters currently being maintained, namely the right to live and work independently in the community, in settings of individual choice, free from poverty. May the current law suit from Disability Law be a catalyst for some of this needed change, and may the coming legislative session bring us closer to our goals.

The Minnesota Consortium for Citizens with Disabilities (MNCCD) is a broad based coalition
of advocacy and provider organizations working to change public policy to improve the lives of people with disabilities through building awareness, providing education, and engaging the community.

Edberg Emerging As Super SwedeHits: 902
from Sun Sentinel
by Sharon Robb
BOCA RATON — Stefan Edberg grinned sheepishly when he realized he didn`t know the first name of his opponent in Wednesday`s quarterfinals of the Lipton International Players Championships at Boca West.
"How do you think Milan played?" Edberg was asked during his postmatch press conference.
"Who?" Edberg asked.
"Milan Srejber of Czechoslovakia. The guy you just beat 6-1, 6-0, 6-2 on the grandstand court."
"You mean Srejber?" Edberg asked. "Oh, I`m sorry, I didn`t know his first name. It is the first time I have played him."
If Srejber has his way, it will be the last time he has to meet the young Swede, who now stands with Boris Becker as the hottest young players in the game.
"I could do nothing today," Srejber said. "I played so bad. I have never played against him. I couldn`t move, I couldn`t serve."
The winner of a Grand Slam singles title (the Australian Open) and the hero of Sweden`s championship Davis Cup team, Edberg, at 20, is now emerging from the shadow of countrymen Mats Wilander, Anders Jarryd, Joakim Nystrom and Henrik Sundstrom.
His ranking has steadily risen to No. 5. Last year he began to fulfill some of the promise he had shown the two previous years. He was the only tennis player with a winning record against Ivan Lendl, beating the world`s No. 1- ranked player two out of three times. His most significant win over Srejber`s fellow countryman came in the semifinals of the Australian Open.
"Last year I tried to be more positive in my game," Edberg said. "I`ve been a lot more consistent and I didn`t have as many bad losses. I`m stronger mentally. I didn`t have as many ups and downs as before."

Children usually consume what they have been given and sometimes either overdo it or even don't eat or drink at all when excited.
Parents need to encourage their children to drink during long training sessions or the kids can become very cold and shivery. A 1% decrease in body weight already has a detrimental effect, e.g. dizziness, light-headed, loss of balance. It is also very important that your child drinks plenty of fluid within the hour prior to the training session. Sports drinks containing carbohydrate, protein and electrolytes are recommended but should only be complementing lots of plain water and not be the only drink available.
Children should ideally eat 3 hours prior to the training session a filling meal with plenty of carbohydrates and energy giving foods. That is however not always possible and so food should be given as early as possible prior to training if the young person can tolerate it.
Some kids can eat directly before swimming whilst others can't. It is never recommended that a full dinner is eating within a hour of training but lighter foods should be given instead.
After each longer training session, energy reserves need to be restocked immediately and it is highly recommended that kids need a milky or fruity drink e.g. fruit juice, smoothie, milk shake. Also a snack must be provided within half hour of stopping training. Best suited is bake ware, sandwiches, fruit to be followed by a cooked meal when home.
Sporting children need 500 – 1000 calories more per day than non sporting ones. That would make around 2200 calories for a 12-year old. However please check and see whether your child is actively overweight or underweight and adjust accordingly, if in doubt, seek doctor's advice.
Giving Nutrition Advice to Child Athletes — Active Kids Have Special Requirements for Top Performance
Nutrition Numbers for Active Kids and Teens
Protein aids muscle recovery when consumed after exercise and should account for 10% to 15% of calories. Recommendations for total protein intakes are 0.95 g/kg/day for kids aged 4 to 13 and 0.85 g/kg/day for adolescents aged 14 to 18.
Carbohydrate is the most important source of energy for an active child or adolescent and should represent 55% of calories (more on heavy training days), about 5 to 8 g/kg of body weight.
Fat should account for 25% to 30% of total calories. High-fat foods may cause discomfort if eaten too close to the start of physical activity, but some fat is needed on a regular basis for growth. Emphasize healthful fat that's found in avocados, tuna, canola oil, soy, and nuts.
Fluid intake should be supervised and monitored during and after physical activity. This should result in an hourly fluid intake of 13 mL/kg (6 mL/lb). Fluid replacement postexercise should include about 4 mL/kg (2 mL/lb) for each hour of activity. More is needed for kids who sweat heavily.
Sporting children should consume more smaller meals throughout the day, rather than 1 large one. Sporting children generally eat more calories than their parents. So parents beware, as if you eat as much as a swimming youngster, but are not sporty yourself, you'll put on weight.

A great source of information is also the Performace Meal Wheel,
I personally do not recommend that children be given supplements that are generally only suitable from the age of 16.

K Á R Y Y N - The Quanta Series - (2xLP Clear Vinyl Album)
Multi-disciplinary artist, composer and vocalist K Á R Y Y N releases her forthcoming debut album 'The Quanta Series' March 29th on Mute.
Written and recorded over a seven year period, 'The Quanta Series' tracks K Á R Y Y N's movements across continents on a voyage of self-examination. Beginning in 2011 following the death of two relatives in Aleppo, K Á R Y Y N left her native LA for Cherry Valley, upstate New York to process her grief in seclusion. During the 18 months she lived in Cherry Valley, K Á R Y Y N wrote two songs for 'The Quanta Series'. The first was a visceral, emotional piece recorded in one take called 'Today I Read Your Life Story 11:11'. The second, a musing on impermanence and understanding the impact of our choices called 'Segment And The Line'. Over the years that followed, K Á R Y Y N spent time living in Berlin where she wrote 'Purgatory', a song inspired by a memory from her childhood spent in the Forty Mountains of Idlib province in Syria. As she travelled, she found inspiration everywhere, leaning into her own familial legacy, feelings of grief and love and observations on human interaction. A deep connection to her lineage is a concurrent theme in K Á R Y Y N's work, with an interpretation of traditional Armenian folk song 'Ambets Gorav' present on the album plus a beautiful choral patchwork called 'Mirror Me' providing an introspective break in the album - a track about "facing yourself, the good, the bad; searching for the parts in us that have been lost."

K-Pop has experienced quite a splash this month with the debut of Holland; the genre's first Idol to be openly gay. Looking past the major anticipation from International fans, his step into the industry is a mellow pop-r'n'b track speaking of a wish to live and love the way he wants without stigma. So why exactly is this video and track so important? The LGBT+ community isn't as represented in South Korea in comparison to other countries and even to this day is still a sensitive subject. Only a small number of celebrities have come out including R'n'B artist MRSHLL, entertainer-entrepreneur Hong Seokcheon and transgender singer, Harisu. However, on the side of the mainstream K-Pop industry, there isn't much representation until Holland so it is inevitable that he will make some waves. Already his debut "Neverland" has gathered over four million views in its first week, and now we're going to look into it in a bit more detail.
Before starting the breakdown, we should really clarify that this video only plays on Holland's sexuality in one point only; the second male lead who stars alongside him. The teasers showed the highly anticipated kiss scene between the two boys but aside from that, this video could play out with a boy and a girl with no fan batting an eyelid.
The plot plays out as standard with any aesthetic romance concept. Holland seems to be lost in his own thoughts; dreaming of the sweet memories shared with his significant other but at the start of the video, he appears sad; possibly losing who he loved or maybe in this case, torn as he wishes to love but scared of the judgement. Both leads appear happy in the memories, smiling and appearing playful in some cases as they relax, joke and enjoy each other's company. Throughout there is little hints of their relationship as they hold hands, gaze at each other and of course, the gentle kiss scene in bed.
However, all of it seems to crash down as we see the two arguing with Holland ultimately pushing his love away. With him gone from his life, the Neverland he sings of fades away and his world appears duller without the joy of love around. The memories flicker continuously as they appear child-like together but in the end, both of them are alone with their own memories of what appears to be a whirlwind but heartfelt romance.
Now on the surface, that may be all there is to breakdown but let's refer back to what we said before; this video would appear no different if sung by another idol. What makes this video groundbreaking is that Holland's sexuality is not being explicitly used to market his debut. He is being genuine to himself but also creating something aesthetically pleasing in the process. In comparison to other videos, this is an amazing step in the right direction. Despite this video being rated 19+ in South Korea due to the same-sex kiss scene, it is representing LGBT+ in ways that is rarely seen in the industry.
For instance, some videos may use it to simply to get attention in order for fans to watch the video due to controversy or the heavy use of sensual and sometimes sexual imagery. Take both ANDA's "Touch" & 4L's "Move" for example. Both songs stand strong in their own right, but it is their risque concepts that break the barriers. ANDA is seen between a girl's legs and even spreading a girl's leg in a sensual manner while 4L has two female actors passionately locked together with some camera shots of undress and a hand slipping under one's skirt. It is still LGBT+ and it still represents but in a country that still sees it as taboo, it is the "normalised" videos that make the most impact. Think of the likes of Lovelyz' Baby Soul's duet with Yoo Jia or Sistar's "One More Day", the videos that would be no more different if one of the leads were instead a boy. However, with Holland in mind, there is only one video that can be used for representation
Now if you have not seen the video that we are about to mention; stop reading this! Open a tab in your browser or click this link. The reason we write this is because the video has to be experienced first to understand why this is a prime example. Even mentioning the title and artist in this article would give away its purpose, but there is a reason why it has gathered over thirty-eight million views on Youtube and why it is such a huge example to follow in "normalising" same-sex relationships and why it is being referred to alongside Holland's debut in this theory. It is the fact that everything is normal. The video is a standard love story until the same-sex themes are revealed. In comparison, Holland's 'reveal' is more outstanding as it is a genuine kiss scene between two boys but still, one to note. Regardless of the gender, they still appear as normal and love as normal.
That's all that matters and that's the reason why we had to do a breakdown for this debut. UnitedKpop will definitely be cheering Holland on in his ventures.

Trust is easily broken and very hard to rebuild. It can be shattered by the smallest white lie or by something big, but as Nietzsche said, its not so much that you have been betrayed, it is that after a betrayal it is so hard to believe anything that person says. Or, as Lady Gaga put it, "Trust is like a mirror, you can fix it if it's broken, but you can still see the crack in that mother f****r's reflection."

Like respect, trust has to be earned, although in new relationships there is often an implicit level of trust, depending on the past experiences of each party. If one of a new couple has been betrayed perviously, obviously they are not going to find it as easy to trust again. Unlike respect, which is to do with the way a couple feels towards the other and how well differentiated they are, trust is about how safe each feels in the relationship. At its centre, trust is the feeling that 'I am safe, you are safe, we are safe together.' If a lie is revealed or a relationship develops with someone else, that sense of safety is lost.
In Imago therapy we talk a lot about safety. We understand that we are, underneath our clothing, just animals who have some basic needs and security as safety is usually top of the list. Security can come in many areas of our lives, such as home, work, money, but the top of that list is in our relationships. We need to feel that we can rely on those closest to us to watch our back, to care for us when things are bleak or we are at our most unlovable, and we will not be judged when we make ourselves vulnerable or make mistakes.
If you are the one who has done something to break your partner's trust, your first step is to really, really understand how they must be feeling. You need to be able to cross over the bridge into their world and truly empathise with their hurt. It helps to use a structured dialogue like we have in Imago work, when the therapist guides each partner into a process which ensures that the betrayed one really feels heard, and also that the betrayer has a chance to make amends and seek forgiveness. So many couples find it impossible to find the words to express the regret they feel, or their pain, without hurting the other more than they wanted.
If you are the one who has been betrayed and have discovered that your partner has lied to you, your first step is be open about your feelings. These are likely to include anger or worse, and are best expressed than withheld where they can fester and gain power. Say what you're feeling. The next step is to tell your partner what you need them to do. If there is another person involved this is likely to include a promise not to have any contact with them again, and this is fair. Its not fair, however, to ask them to go over and over the details of the betrayal. You both need to move on, but not too fast. Healing takes time.
You also both need to take responsibility for whats happened. Some lies happen because the betrayer feels they are under pressure, and say anything to keep their partner happy. They will promise anything to keep the peace. If there has been an affair, the sense of guilt can be enough to keep the lying going far more and longer than they have to. And it's a fact that infidelity doesn't happen in a happy marriage, so if there has been an affair, at some level the relationship was not happy. I have known couples who have had to dig deep to be able to confess that in their heart of hearts, they knew that things were not as perfect as they were pretending on the surface. But once they are able to do that, repair can begin.
Rebuilding trust is not easy, and you both have to accept that it can be a long time and is very fragile for quite a while. There is a natural and healthy grieving process for the lost connection, and there is no way to fast-track the healing.
Its no good either, resorting to cheap and easy gestures or words. Just saying you're sorry won't cut it – you have to demonstrate through your actions that your regret is sincere and your promise to never do it again is genuine. Understandable, the hurt partner will need time to see that it is really true.
I usually recommend that couples go back to doing those behaviours that originally attracted each to the other – notes, flowers, gifts, compliments: whatever worked when you were first courting. I also ask that the offender writes out a detailed, specific letter to prove they understand the sorrow they've caused. And if the recipient can also write to say in which ways they understand how it might have happened, healing can come faster.
So, for the betrayer:
1. Give your partner time and space to express their hurt and vent their feelings. Really listen to them, and mirror back to them what you have heard.
2. Be humble and express your sadness and hopes for forgiveness.
3. Be reliable and constant, and go back to the behaviours that won your partner's heart in the first place.
4. Accept that its going to be a long process, and sometimes will feel like three steps forward and two back.
5. Be sure to keep all the promises you make. One slip and you will find yourself back at the beginning, or worse.
For the betrayed:
1. Accept responsibility for your part in the lies. In a truly happy, connected and conscious relationship, there is no cheating or lying and trust levels remain high.
2. Take the opportunity to really say everything you feel and think. When the healing starts to happen you want to be able to move forward, not to continue to dwell on the past mistakes indefinitely.
3. Be authentic in any acceptance of the betrayer's apologies. If you don't feel ready to forgive, its wrong to fake it.
4. Once the initial hurt is acknowledged and you've expressed yourself fully, keep things in the present and future – don't keep harping back to the past or keep throwing up past mistakes.
5. Remember that we are all human and its not helpful to take a righteous or pious role. We all make mistakes, and forgiveness is a powerful gesture which will help you as much as your partner.
Both of you:
Lean in, look your partner in the eye, take a deep, long breath and say to each other in turn:…. "I love you. You are the one I want. I care about us. We matter. I am so sorry for the pain I caused you and us. It feels scary right now, but we'll get through this."
Repeat as necessary.

Aztec mushroom god
religion and ritual
bankers & shamen
Colonising Spaniads in the 16th century had brutally stamped out the 'satanic' mushroom rites of the indigenous South American peoples. For hundreds of years, the rites and rituals and even the mushrooms themselves were forgotten, thought lost. Until, that is, the unlikely figure of the vice-president of JP Morgan investment bank, R. Gordon Wasson, trundled into the Mexican highlands in 1954 and rediscovered them.
In the early 20th century, interest in botany and classification of species was rampant. Loads of moustachioed Victorians were out to catalogue the world. Ancient legends of a psychoactive mushrooms and a primitive 'mushroom cult' native to South America were unearthed. Several enthnobotanists and mushroom-lovers (mycophiles) made forays to Mexico and Peru to try to discover these holy shrooms. In their spare time, R. Gordon Wasson and his Russian wife Valentina were obsessive mushroom-lovers and had made it their life-quest to find the sacred mushrooms.
Maria Sabina: Mexican curandera
Wasson's first tripAfter years of field trips and false starts, they finally tracked down a 'curandera' or shaman in a mountainous Mexican village. Wasson was permitted to take part in the lengthy religious ceremony and was dosed with a sizeable handful of psyilcybin mexicana. In his own words:
"At the peak of the intoxication, about 1½ hours after ingestion of the mushrooms, the rush of interior pictures, mostly changing in shape and colour, reached such an alarming degree that I feared I would be torn into this whirlpool of form and colour and would dissolve."
life magazine
Wasson was amazed. Being a gentleman and pillar of the financial establishment, his report of the adventure was documented in Life magazine.
You can read the open minded and often hilarious piece here - a good example of literature untainted by drugs hysteria.
The magazine coined the snappy phrase "magic mushrooms" to describe his find.
The phrase would soon catch on...
The article caught the eye of the CIA who approached Wasson to find out whether the mushrooms had any potential military use. Wasson refused to help them so they smuggled an operative onto his next expedition.
But by then the mushrooms were attracted some new disciples...

Young receivers absolutely stole the show in Week 1. Whether we're talking about highly regarded rookies or a few post-hype sleepers, the youth movement kicked down the door of the new season, making quite the loud entrance as they shoved their way to the front of fantasy waiver wires.
Marquise Brown, A.J. Brown, Terry McLaurin, John Ross, Michael Gallup, D.J. Chark … all secured yardage at or north of the century mark; all made big-time, highlight-worthy plays, flashing explosiveness that certainly helped make them hot adds off the wire.
The sheer number of young players who shined was certainly unique but it's a phenomenon that seasoned fantasy managers have seen far too often. Young player explodes ... then promptly does nothing for the next few weeks before being cast off for a bye-week defense.
So of these young high-flyers, whose stock are you buying, whose stock are you selling off like Lyft shares after it's been battered 30 percent? (Totally didn't happen to me and I'm totally not bitter about it.)
Whether we're talking Cleveland fantasy assets or Antonio or "Hollywood" or A.J., there were far too many Brown storylines after Week 1. But for the purposes of this article, we'll focus on the rookies.
Marquise Brown, Baltimore Ravens
Hollywood was an absolute stud in his NFL debut as the Ravens demolished the Dolphins. Four receptions on five targets for 147 yards and two touchdowns, that'll work just fine for your flex, right?
Well, here's the thing … Brown only played on — get this — 12 offensive snaps. It was the fewest number of snaps among all the team's receivers, good for just 17% of the overall offensive plays.
I get it, with the explosiveness he exhibited, it stands to reason that the rookie will see more playing time moving forward, but even if he gets up to 50 or 60% snap share, it's awfully hard to trust that level of playing time.
Plus, from a strategic standpoint, the Dolphins basically ran a single high safety for almost the entire game, daring Lamar Jackson to throw … and throw he did.
I can't imagine future opponents will be as ill prepared as Miami moving forward, even if the schedule reads extremely soft (ARI, KC, CLE, PIT, CIN).
Just due to overall volume concerns, I expect the rookie to come back down to earth.
[Play in Yahoo's NFL Million Dollar Baller for Week 2 with no fee]
A.J. Brown, Tennessee Titans
Whatever I just wrote for Marquise, read again for A.J. He only played on 39% of the Titans' offensive snaps. He ended up converting his paltry four targets into three receptions for 100 yards, but with an asterisk or two.
Brown picked up 56 of those yards after the catch. YAC yardage is tough to come by so expect those numbers to come way down moving forward.
Again, we're talking about a low-volume receiver in a low-volume passing attack. Tennessee attempted just 437 passes all of last year, the second-fewest passes thrown in the NFL.
Terry McLaurin, Washington Redskins
The rookie from Ohio State was able to show out in his first NFL game, grabbing five receptions off of seven targets, good for 125 yards and a score. Unlike his other rookie mates listed above, I do think there's sustainability here.
McLaurin played on 91% of the team's offensive snaps and remember, Washington cut Josh Doctson, meaning other than Paul Richardson, there's really no other WR on the roster that will push McLaurin for snaps as an outside receiver.
As a clear-cut starter, there is reason to believe McLaurin will continue to see 5-9 targets per game and anywhere between 90-130 air yards per game as well. That volume puts him in WR2 territory. Plus, you throw in his 4.35 40-speed, and there's definitely intrigue here.
This week he plays a tough Dallas defense which should mute his overall production but he's worth an upside play in deep leagues and is, of course, worth a stash on your bench in 12-teamers.
John Ross, Cincinnati Bengals
Up until this point, the legend of John Ross >>> the actual game of John Ross.
A top-10 pick in 2017, Ross came into the season with a grand total of 210 receiving yards in his previous 2 years combined.
Waiver wire fodder in many leagues, Ross went on to rack up 158 yards in Week 1.
What makes me believe a 3rd-year breakout is possible for the former Washington Husky is twofold: The coaching change and the volume.
Out is Marvin Lewis, in comes former quarterback and Big 12 offensive player of the year in Zac Taylor. The rookie head coach and ex-Nebraska Cornhusker had Andy Dalton toss 51 pass attempts, tied for the third-most attempts in his career.
And it's not as if the Bengals were chasing points either; they led for good chunks of this game. It became abundantly clear Cincy is going all-in on the pass game this year as they threw on an unreal 80% of their offensive plays. For context, in 2018 Green Bay led the NFL in pass play percentage, throwing the ball on 67.54% of their plays.
Ross saw 12 targets Week 1. With A.J. Green out and with Dalton slinging the rock 50+ times per game, I don't see why eight to 12 targets per game isn't an easily repeatable figure.
You throw in his 4.22 40-time, and Ross is an every week upside flex play in 12-team or deeper leagues.
Now that being said, this week against the Niners, his range of outcomes is zero to hero. He could easily post another big line or he could get shut out as he will primarily tangle with Richard Sherman.
Michael Gallup, Dallas Cowboys
The second-year man exploded onto the scene in Week 1, catching all seven of his targets for 158 yards against the Giants. And like Ross above, I don't believe this to be a one-and-done.
Gallup played on 78% of the team's offensive snaps, which actually led all Dallas receivers. Remember, Allen Hurns and Cole Beasley are both gone, freeing up significant playing time for the former Colorado State standout.
Adding to the upside is the fact that former quarterback Kellen Moore is the new offensive coordinator in Dallas, bringing with him a noticeably more aggressive passing offense.
After averaging 7.6 air yards per pass attempt last year, Dak Prescott averaged 8.4 air yards per pass in Week 1, according to Next Gen Stats.
It's clear Dak is being asked to and deliver on deeper passes. Now, granted, it was the Giants, but still, it's obvious Moore will be more aggressive in his play-calling, providing more big-play opportunities for the likes of Gallup and Amari Cooper.
D.J. Chark, Jacksonville Jaguars
The second-year man out of LSU had four catches for 146 yards and a score in Week 1.
It was a great game for the 6-foot-3, 200-pound receiver, but color me skeptical for a repeat performance.
Chark only saw four targets all game and while he did play on 70% of the team's offensive snaps, Marquise Lee and Keelan Cole could eat into his overall snap share as the season wears on.
As for the quarterback situation, free agent acquisition Nick Foles couldn't make it out of the first quarter before getting hurt and being placed on I.R.
Look, I love me some Gardner Minshew, but I'm not ready to say he and his powerful mustache will be an upgrade for Jacksonville's passing game.
If you picked up the Chark Attack, let him ride your bench for the week until we see what his usage looks like moving forward.

So 2013 is very nearly over - can't say I've done all I intended to get done with this site, but I have made some progress. I have nearly completed two pages which, along with another completed page, add something, I think, to the picture of the lives of ordinary Jamaicans a hundred years ago. I shall try to complete those two pages a.s.a.p.!
All these activities were greatly enjoyed by working-class Jamaicans, and often much disapproved of by the 'middle-classes', the churches and the 'authorities'! I hope they make interesting reading. J.L.

On May 24, 2017, IHEP Vice President of Policy Research Mamie Voight testified before the U.S. House Subcommittee on Higher Education and Workforce Development at a hearing entitled, "Empowering Students and Families to Make Informed Decisions on Higher Education." Ms. Voight's oral testimony is below. Click here to access the full written testimony.
"Chairman Guthrie, Ranking Member Davis, and Members of the Subcommittee, thank you for the opportunity to testify today.
"My name is Mamie Voight, and I am Vice President for Policy Research at the Institute for Higher Education Policy, or IHEP – a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization that promotes college access and success, especially for underserved students. IHEP leads the Postsecondary Data Collaborative, a broad collection of organizations – representing institutions, students, states, employers, and privacy and security experts – committed to the use of high-quality data to improve student success and close equity gaps.
"Distinguished Members, the research is clear. Investing in a college education pays off. But while college is often a worthwhile investment, students and families, policymakers, and institutions can't answer critical questions about which programs at which institutions provide an adequate return on this investment, and for which students.
"Before making other investments—like buying a home or car—we shop around, we perform inspections, we lift the hood, and we kick the tires. In other words, we ask questions. The college marketplace should be no different, but we lack the high-quality information needed for the market to function. We cannot answer critical questions about colleges, like:
- How many part-time and low-income students graduate?
- Do students transfer?
- How do students fare in the workforce?
"Students need these answers. So do policymakers – federal and state, who are charged with enacting good policies and stewarding taxpayer dollars. And so do colleges, which often cite data-use as a driving factor in helping them better serve students, especially underrepresented students.
"But policy barriers prevent these stakeholders from accessing information – even when the data already exist. Our data infrastructure consists of several datasets and multiple players. It is duplicative, inefficient, and cumbersome, and many students remain missing or invisible. We can and should do better.
"In recent years institutions and states have recognized the insufficiency of federal data and created voluntary initiatives to collect better information, documented in my written testimony. These voluntary initiatives illuminate data gaps and prove it's possible to collect better data, but piecemeal voluntary reporting isn't enough. We need a more complete solution. And a better solution exists.
"A secure, privacy-protected postsecondary student data system, like the one proposed in the bipartisan College Transparency Act and Student Right to Know Before You Go Act, would integrate existing federal, state, and institutional data sources into a more coherent, nimble, secure, and privacy-protected network. It would create better information that counts all students, while reducing reporting burden on institutions. More than 70 organizations, representing students, institutions, veterans, college access providers, and employers, have endorsed the College Transparency Act, recognizing that this system would create a more functional postsecondary marketplace.
"The federal government is uniquely positioned to compile better postsecondary information – even if non-federal entities disseminate it. For example, consider how valuable your weather app is. Privately developed weather apps are primarily made possible by data from the National Weather Service. Just as the federal government is uniquely positioned to compile weather data because it has access to things like satellites, it also is the best option for compiling data on education and the workforce – given the information it already holds.
"It is the only entity with comprehensive information on employment outcomes. In fact, the Departments of Treasury and Education have already linked education and workforce data to answer questions about students who receive federal financial aid. But those answers will remain incomplete without a system that includes non-aided students too.
"Student protection must be at the heart of any data system. It must protect their privacy, preserve their right to information, and secure their data. The data network should be limited to answer only questions of national interest about college access, completion, cost, outcomes, and equity, and data should be secured using industry leading protocols. Strong data governance should design the system to use data in compliance with the law, notify students, prohibit the sale of data or use of the system for law enforcement, and issue penalties for misuse. We can protect student privacy while providing students with the information they deserve – it's not an either/or choice.
"Members, as you steward over 160 billion in taxpayer dollars to help students access and succeed in college, please consider the key questions you cannot answer. A more coherent student-level data system would address substantial shortcomings. And before students decide where to invest their resources, they deserve answers to these same questions.
Thank you."
