...PLAYBOY: How will this psychedelic regime enrich human life? LEARY: It will enable each person to realize that he is not a game-playing robot put on this planet to be given a Social Security number and to be spun on the assembly line of school, college, career, insurance, funeral, goodbye…Man is going to have to explore the infinity of inner space, to discover the terror and adventure that lie within us all. This quote by Timothy Leary is very interesting. Leary clearly believes that LSD will help people have a better understanding about life in general. Timothy Leary obviously was a firm believer that Psychedelics can be used for good. He was a writer known for advocating research into psychedelic drugs. I would agree with his positions regarding this question in the interview. Dr. Albert Hofmann was a research chemist at Sandoz Labs in Basle, Switzerland. In April of 1943, the chemist accidentally ingested a small amount of a compound he had synthesized five years earlier from a rye fungus ergot. 'I experienced fantastic images of an extraordinary plasticity. They were associated with an intense kaleidoscopic play of colors. After two hours, this condition disappeared,' Dr. Hofmann later stated. His extraordinary discovery was labeled d-lysergic acid diethyl-amide tartrate or LSD-25. A psychedelic experience is a journey to new realms of consciousness. The scope and content of the experience is unbounded. In the 1950s, investigators from various scientific disciplines...

...Timothy was a younger colleague of Paul whom the Apostle Paul probably met on his first missionary journey in Acts. Paul’s frequent reference to him as his son may indicate that he was a Pauline convert, but the evidence is not clear. It is believed that Paul may have used the expression “son” to refer to Timothy as his “son in the ministry”. Timothy was the recipient of the letter in second Timothy from Paul and when Paul refers to him as his “dear son” it is an expression of affection. Historical A. Date According to Frank Gaebelein in The Expositor’s Bible Commentary, “It is obvious that the second Epistle to Timothy was written no later than A.D.67. He also states that it may have been as early as 65 and if we assume omitted details in the book of Acts account, earlier dates might be possible. B. Location/Setting Frank Gaebelein says, Second Timothy was written from prison in Rome, shortly before the Apostle Paul’s death. He goes on to state that Timothy was in Ephesus when Paul wrote to him. It is often alleged that the church structure in the Pastoral Epistles reflects the church in the early second century instead of the first. C. Authorship The authenticity of Paul’s correspondence with Timothy and Titus went unchallenged until the nineteenth century. According to Philip Towner, the greeting first identifies the writer and then redefines the identification of Paul. Thomas Lea states that many contemporary interpreters feel that the name “Paul” in all...

...Giordano, Geraldine. “Chapter One: Timothy McVeigh.” The Oklahoma City Bombing, The Rosen Publishing Group Inc., 2003, #7-12. Timothy McVeigh was in the army when he was a young man. He befriended Terry Nichols, his accomplice during The Oklahoma City Bombing. They tended to talk about the Government and politics together(Giordano). They talked about how the government made them spend too much money on taxes. They also agreed that the government was making our economy bad. Timothy McVeigh also tended to tell people that he was a survivalist, someone who is preparing for something really bad or disastrous to happen, which it did. This book is a very credible source to use for this project. I used the chapter “Timothy McVeigh” which proved to be very helpful when forming my thesis statement. It was published by the Rosen Publishing Group Inc....

...Timothy McVeigh murdered 168 people, including children, in a terrorist act using a massive truck bomb to blow up a federal building in Oklahoma City (Saferstein, 2015). Investigators collected an enormous amount of evidence, which successfully aided in the jury convicting McVeigh to death after only three days of deliberating (Saferstein, 2015). The task force assembled to investigate the bombing consisted of more than 1400 law enforcement officers (Evidence, n.d.). The amount of evidence these investigators collected was massive and estimated to be over 7,000lbs consisting of 23,290 pieces (Evidence, n.d.). Timothy McVeigh rented a Ryder truck and used that to house his homemade bomb. After the explosion, investigators found one of...

...One of the more popular cases were a change of venue was implement was the Oklahoma City bombing case. The defendant in the case Timothy McVeigh was tried for his crimes outside of Oklahoma City, even though that is where the offense occurred. There was so much publicity around the trial that it would have been impossible to pick members for a jury who were not biased or had some personal connection to the case. The case was moved to Denver, Colorado where a jury could be picked from individuals with less of a connection to the bombings. This would ensure McVeigh’s constitutional right to a fair and impartial jury. Changes of venue in the federal court system are usually changed for two particular reasons. One reason a change of venue is granted...

...Thousands of people believe Timothy McVeigh should have gotten the death penalty for his actions, but some people think otherwise. McVeigh did kill a lot of innocent lives on the day of April 19, 1995, but did we do the right thing to add another death to the list? There is a lot of controversy over if McVeigh should have got the death penalty or life in prison. Although he did a terrible thing, many people think he does not deserve to live. However, some people think Mcveigh should not have gotten the death penalty. People wonder what pushed McVeigh to bomb the Murrah Building. It could have been many different reasons that urged him to do what he did, like his PTSD from the war, the Turner Diaries, or the Waco incident. Many believe they all had a huge impact on his actions, but one that stuck out the most was the bombing of the Wako Building by government officials. “McVeigh loved guns: he was outraged by the Brady bill and the federal ban on assault weapons, and he was so passionate about his second amendment right to bears arms, that he quit the National Rifle Association because he thought it was too soft” (Morgenthau). McVeigh was very outspoken for his rights and did not agree with...

...Exegetical Paper on 1 Timothy 2.9-15 1 Timothy 2:9-15 9 likewise also that women should adorn themselves in respectable apparel, with modesty and self-control, not with braided hair and gold or pearls or costly attire, 10 but with what is proper for women who profess godliness— with good works. 11Let a woman learn quietly with all submissiveness. 12 I do not permit a woman to teach or to exercise authority over a man; rather, she is to remain quiet. 13 For Adam was formed first, then Eve; 14and Adam was not deceived, but the woman was deceived and became a transgressor. 15Yet she will be saved through childbearing— if they continue in faith and love and holiness, with self-control. First Timothy 2:9-15 is from the pastoral epistle 1 Timothy in which Paul gives corrective instruction to Timothy regarding the structure of the worship service for the church in Ephesus. This passage is frequently discussed with regards to church structure and is particularly raised in opposition to women holding the office of pastor or elder. It is a key passage in the debate between complementarianism, which argues that men and women are of equal intrinsic worth before God but should have complementary roles in the church and in society, and egalitarianism, which argues for no institutional distinctions between men and women. Although...

...Paths to success There are different paths and many theories that are helpful to get success. This paper discusses different paths of success such as 10,000 hour rule, Tiger mom and Tim Ferriss. It also discusses the advantages and disadvantages of each success method. 10,000 Hour Rule: According to this rule, brain takes 10,000 hours to assimilate all that it needs to achieve true mastery. In views of Heshmat, (2011), the 10,000 hours rule translated into practicing 3 hours a day for 10 years, which is indeed a common training span for young people in sports. This rule suggested that success is the result of accumulative advantages. It is a function of persistence and willingness to work hard. It is because it is difficult to carry out any long-range plan and achievement of any difficult goal, unless people can make themselves persist at it. Advantage: The main advantage of 10,000 hour rule is that it leads to the perfection of people. It is because after spending 10,000 hours on a particular task, individuals build necessary skills and competencies that are necessary to do the job in a perfect way (Bell, 2010). Disadvantage: The main disadvantage of this theory is that it takes a long-term view of getting success. Concurrently, this rule also not describes the performance of a person, who spends less than 10,000 hours to a particular job (Martin, 2011). It also limits the growth of an individual, as he/she focus on a particular job for 10,000 hours...

...Timothy Wilson‘s book Strangers to Ourselves is a fascinating journey to our adaptive unconscious, which he defines as the “mental processes that are inaccessible to consciousness but that influence judgments, feelings, or behavior” and have adapted through evolution (23). Wilson contents that we cannot observe these processes because they are simply inaccessible to us: “a lot of the interesting stuff about the human mind – judgments, feelings, motives – occur outside of awareness for reasons of efficiency, and not because of repression” (8). He argues that this is similar to other processes, such as perceptual processes or even digestion, which we know are happening but are not observable through introspection. In contrast to Freud, modern psychological research suggests that the unconscious cannot be explored no matter how deep you dig. This is not a bad thing, Wilson points out, but it is a reflection of the mind’s power: a lot of information can be processed very quickly and efficiently (although not always accurately) (16). Our minds are parallel processors because we process quite a bit of information unconsciously. Instead of looking inward, Wilson suggests a much more powerful way to self-understanding: observing our behavior (16). In addition to not being able to understand ourselves well through “navel gazing,” we might even be driven by goals from our adaptive unconscious that we are not completely aware of (34). Wilson summarizes: “We know less than we think we do...

...intimidating or coercing societies or government, often for ideological or political reasons, (Barnett, Reynolds). From researching and studying terrorism and the media this paper will include; the background on Timothy McVeigh, Oklahoma City Bombing, how it was reported, how it is different from now and the speculations of how the media helped or harmed the situation. Timothy McVeigh grew up living a ‘normal life’, with loving parents and childhood friends but he felt unloved. In third grade he witnessed a neighbor boy drown a bag of kittens in a nearby pond he was so disgusted that day forward he could not bear the sight of death to the point he stopped shooting bull frogs with his bb gun. That all changed when he joined the United States Army and was deployed to the Gulf War. In basic and deployment training his mind set was changed to killing was an act of war, he even declared the attack on the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building an act of war, (Michel, Herbeck).It was just a mission and solider are used to carrying out missions that brought pain to others, (Michel, Hebeck). In a way Timothy was trying to be America’s freedom fighter, “one man’s terrorist is another man’s freedom fighter,” (Barnett, Reynolds). Psychological is one of the motives for political violence, Timothy displayed this in his attack in Oklahoma City, he had justified his actions to himself but no one understood or...

...Federal Prison Comparison Tanya Gildner CJA/234 May 30, 2011 Sherri Webster Federal Prison Comparison Depending on the type of crime an individual commits will depend on the type of prison he or she is sentenced to stay. If an individual commits a bank robbery, or commits a crime in another state he or she will be sentenced to a federal prison. This paper will consist of eight individuals who have been sentenced to federal prisons for crimes they have committed. Though the crimes are not of similarity, they have one thing in common and that is spending time in a federal prison. Martha Stewart Martha Stewart is a successful businesswoman, and she has established a well-known business. Martha Stewart committed a crime of “…obstructing justice, conspiracy, and making false statements during an insider trade investigation…” (Crawford, 2004). Martha was found guilty of the charges brought against her, which she did receive a prison sentence of five months in a federal prison. Afterwards Martha was placed on house arrest for an additional two months and served two years of probation. The federal prison where Martha was detained to was Alderson Federal Prison. Alderson Federal Prison is known as the oldest prison for women. Alderson is a minimum security prison that was set up to rehabilitate women prisoners back into society. Ivan Boesky Like Martha Stewart, Ivan Boesky was incarcerated for insider trading as well. “Once considered wall street’s leading speculator...

...Shawn Wiley CRJ 419 American Terrorism Charles Loftus Assignment 4 Part Two June 16, 2013 More Domestic Terrorist Than the Public Realizes With only a few mentioned in part one of this two part essay, there are actually many more domestic terrorist groups that are coming to light. Domestic terrorism has been around for many years and probably for many more. There are going to be groups or even individuals that will have their own beliefs and may even try to push those beliefs onto others. So because of this domestic terrorism is going to be around for a long time. Looking through history I have found a few domestic groups that weren’t mentioned in part ones essay but I feel should be addressed. Ku Klux Klan can never be ignored as one of the most prominent of all domestic terrorist groups in the United States. Another one is Phineas Priesthood, and lastly a group Americans must focus on is Black Liberation Army. These are the three that I think should really be focused on, for they seem to be mentioned by the F.B.I. in a lot of Domestic Terrorism articles. Ku Klux Klan (KKK), just the name sounds of something bad is about to happen. The Klan has been causing havoc since 1865. Is definitely one of the oldest and most infamous for violence than any other domestic group on American. Most believe that blacks are the main subject of the Klan, but that isn’t necessary true anymore. They tend to focus on attacking Jews, immigrants, gays, and lesbians...

...A ratio of more than one in ten people are on antidepressants in America and The World Health Organization predicts depression will be the second greatest cause of ill health globally by 2020. It is also predicted that billion* dollars is the amount of money the animal film industry will make in year*. What do these two have in common? Studies have shown that people become happier participating in nature and animal conservation activities. In Chris Palmer “Shooting in the Wild: An insiders Account Of Making Movies In The Animal Kingdom” Palmer reveals the business of creating a wildlife film to convey a conservation message and some of the darker tactics used in deceiving the public to emotionally be inclined to take action. This study will take a close look at how two documentaries “Arctic Tale” and “Grizzly Man” relate to conveying a message to save the animals and how it contributes to depression in humans and how they differ between their methods of practice. Wildlife documentaries and TV programs in America have increasingly become more sensationalized then ever before in human history. As people become more disconnected with nature and animals, more and more people are becoming depressed through their hectic lives and often yearn to be reconnected to the natural world again. However, the bond between humans and the wild are connected through the lens of a camera. As Chris Palmer has mentioned “During primetime in September 2008, more than 30 million viewers tuned in to...

...Federal prison comparison Christopher Gault CJA/234 December 19, 2011 Rollin Cook Federal prison comparison In this paper describe the prisons that certain individuals were sent to. I will make sure I compare and contrast the similarities and differences between these individuals. The individuals I will be discussing are Martha Stewart, Ivan Boesky, Michael Milken, Manuel Noriega, Timothy McVeigh, and Terry Nichols. All of these individuals were convicted of Federal crimes and sent to a Federal prison to serve their time. Martha Stewart was assigned to the minimum security women's prison in Alderson, W. Va., known as "Camp Cupcake." It is called that because it is a very low security prison and your time spent there should be easy. The West Virginia federal correctional facility is located in the hills of the Allegheny Mountains; this prison is more than 400 miles south of Stewart's Westport home. Martha Stewart wanted to go to a prison closer to her home so she could be close to her elderly mother. The low security facility was opened in 1927 as the first federal prison for women, Martha wasn’t the first big name to spend time at the facility. The prison once housed Billie Holiday, as well as Lynette Fromme and Sara Jane Moore. Both of these women tried to assassinate President Gerald Ford. The prison has no perimeter fence, and inmates can spend their free time playing volleyball and tennis or even doing aerobics. So that explains why they call it “Camp Cupcake”...
