With Issue Two of The Nexian currently in the final stages of production, The Nexian publishing collective wishes to share a teaser from one of the forthcoming features. This issue of The Nexian places a special emphasis on psychedelic research in its myriad of forms. In Issue Two you will find topics ranging from underground psychedelic research, to sanctioned psychedelic research, to surprising revelations that, according to the Controlled Substances Act, America's citrus growers may be running the largest drug production ring in the world, and much, much more!
To whet the appetites of those who have been eagerly awaiting the release of this issue, we are proud to present a brief excerpt from The Nexian's exclusive interview with Dr. Rick Strassman, a psychedelic researcher who needs no introduction. Although, in the event you don't know who he is, it would be in poor taste to leave you uninformed, so...
A quarter-century ago, Dr. Strassman performed the first new human studies with psychedelic drugs in the US since the implementation of psychedelic prohibition some 20 years prior. His research involved the powerful naturally-occurring compound, DMT – N,N-dimethyltryptamine. Led to this substance through his earlier study of the pineal gland as a potential biological locus for spiritual experiences, he administered several hundred doses of DMT to approximately 60 volunteers between 1990 and 1995. He wrote about this research in the popular book, DMT: The Spirit Molecule, which has sold over 100,000 copies, has been translated into 12 languages, and is now available as an audio-book.
Without further ado, a glimpse of The Nexian's interview with Dr. Strassman:
Why do you suppose 5-MeO-DMT, bufotenine, or other active endogenous compounds have often been ignored as potential "spirit molecules," if they are also present in normal metabolism, very potent, and could induce strong psychedelic experiences? Is it possible that, perhaps in combination with DMT, these other tryptamines and beta-carbolines present in the brain play a role in certain states of consciousness as well?
One of the reasons is that the published and legal research that took place with these substances occurred within the biomedical model, in particular the psychiatric model. During the first wave of human research in the 1950s and 1960s, there was very little interest in non-pathological altered states. That is, the altered states of interest for psychiatric research were the psychoses, in particular schizophrenia. Therefore, nearly the entire effort of the biomedical research field was directed towards explicating a possible role in psychosis for psychedelics, either endogenous or exogenous. For example, there was great interest in the role of LSD in precipitating psychoses, determining the presence and effects of endogenous LSD-like compounds, and the development of blockading agents for such endogenous compounds that might have efficacy as antipsychotics. After the discovery of endogenous DMT, scientists likewise sought to determine if synthesis, metabolism, and sensitivity to endogenous/exogenous DMT differed between psychotic and normal subjects.
During those years, the field of spirituality within psychiatry was mostly disparaged and it is only recently that research into the biological bases of spiritual experience--as for example in the field of neurotheology--has seen some acceptance within medicine. In addition, the occasioning of spiritual experience through the use of psychedelics has attained a foothold within mainstream psychiatric research, again however, raising a certain amount of anxiety within the orthodoxy.
The presence of endogenous mind-altering compounds that you refer to above cries out for an explanation. The presence of psychedelic substances in the human body suggests a role for them in both normal and abnormal states of consciousness. In the case of DMT, for example, the brain expands energy transporting it across the blood brain barrier, something it does only in cases of substances necessary for normal brain function that it is unable to synthesize on its own. Other such compounds include glucose and certain amino acids. Thus, one might postulate a role for DMT in maintaining homeostasis of perceptual, emotional, cognitive, and other mental functions that constitute subjective experience in all its ramifications--the waking state, dreams, psychosis, near-death experience, and so on.
At the same time, however, exploring the role of endogenous mind altering substances might be seen by some as a slippery slope towards an epistemological can of worms. In other words, how much of our perception of reality is constructed? This is even more the case now that we know that the genes and enzymes necessary for DMT synthesis are active in the retina. This suggests that not only is consciousness in general affected by endogenous psychedelics but also our experience of the visual world. I think there is a natural tendency not to rock the boat any more than necessary by digging into these issues in a serious, rigorous, and fearless manner. We may not be especially comfortable with what we find out.
Certain recurring themes/archetypes seem to be especially prevalent in many people's DMT-induced experiences; including alien and carnival themes, along with ancient Hindu or Egyptian iconography, architecture, deities etc. Do you have any thoughts on why these particular themes seem so common?
I believe that the content of the DMT state--the imagery, feelings, verbal communication, and so on--are the means by which certain information is attempting to be conveyed to the person in that state. Everyone has particular perceptual and cognitive building blocks that are both hardwired and softwired; that is, constitutional and acquired, or biologically determined and the result of experience. Without the contents of the DMT state it would be impossible to convey any information. The medieval Jewish philosophers, whose work I have been studying, consider the contents to exist within what they refer to as the "imaginative faculty." Then the "rational faculty" extracts whatever information it can from those contents.
While one could invoke psychological explanations for the appearance of aliens as representing something with which the individual does not feel any identification with, this is only the beginning of the interpretive process. In other words, what information is that "alien" object or force attempting to transmit? Perhaps it is also the case that Hindu or Egyptian iconography and so on are simply those building blocks that people who take DMT may be more familiar and comfortable with in symbolizing or garbing the informational content of the state.
Of course, this sidesteps the notion that under the influence of DMT people may travel in time or space to distant and/or ancient Egyptian or Hindu worlds.
Could you elaborate on your upcoming book, DMT and the Soul of Prophecy, which relates the DMT experience to your study of the Hebrew Bible?
First, I should introduce what follows by noting that my definition of prophecy differs from the general one in circulation. It also differs from the academic and even religious definitions current. I define prophecy as any spiritual experience recorded as taking place in any figure in the Hebrew Bible. While most people think of the canonical prophets as experiencing the typical prophetic state—figures such as Isaiah, Ezekiel, and Jeremiah— many non-canonical figures also experienced visions, voices, interacted with God and angels, but did not preach nor leave behind books named after them. In addition, foretelling or forecasting is not necessary for the definition of prophecy. Many people who experienced prophetic states in the Hebrew Bible never foretold, and many canonical prophets foretold but their prognostications never came to pass. Thus, while foretelling may occur within a prophetic state, it is not necessary for its definition. And, many people predict without being prophets; for example, meteorologists.
Two elements of my volunteers' experiences collided with my pre-existing beliefs regarding the types of states that they would enter into as a result of a high dose of DMT. One was the unassailable conviction that the experience was as real or more real than everyday reality. This conviction was counter to all of the other models I brought to my study: psychoanalytic, Zen Buddhist, and psychopharmacologic. The other was the highly interactive and relational quality of the experiences. Both my volunteers and I assumed that the highest state one might attain after a large dose of DMT would be a unitive, formless, content free, a-conceptual state in which one's ego merged entirely with the ground of all existence. However, nearly the opposite was attained; that is, volunteers maintained a sense of self (perhaps even stronger than usual), could interact willfully with the objects and forces perceived within the state, and retained extraordinarily detailed and highly specific memories of what took place.
I began to look for scientific explanations for these findings which suggested that DMT revealed, rather than generated, the contents of the world that volunteers entered into. I invoked modern notions of dark matter and parallel universes as potential locations for externally objective parallel levels of reality that the volunteers were now able to perceive due to the chemically altered receiving characteristics of their brain-mind complex. While this had the advantage of ultimately being empirically testable, such tests seem to me to be performable only in the relatively distant future. In addition, a "scientific" model didn't necessarily address the meaning and the message contained in the perception of these alternate levels of reality. In other words, I was again struck with the mantra, "If so, so what?" How do we make sense of what we see, how do we understand it, and most importantly how does it help us?
I decided to look into more overtly religious models that also have investigated altered states of consciousness in which one enters into apparently freestanding parallel levels of reality. As I mentioned, Buddhism posits the fundamental unreality of the visions one attains during meditation on the way to a formless enlightenment experience, so I looked elsewhere. Latin American shamanism posits the objective reality of the invisible realms that become manifest during highly altered states. However, I find the ethical shortcomings of much of this tradition problematic as well as their emphasis on individual spirits rather than the source of those spirits; in other words, what one might refer to as God. Any model that is going to get any traction in the West has a greater chance of success if it can integrate and utilize the predominant theological Western mindset.
Various loose ends came together in such a way that I turned to the Hebrew Bible and after a while, its notion of "prophetic consciousness" began impressing itself upon me as a viable alternative to shamanism and Buddhism. In the prophetic experience, one sees visions, hears voices, experiences extreme emotions, flies through space, attains new insights, all within the context of interacting with an external objective parallel level of reality which is at least as real, if not more so, than everyday reality. It is highly interactive and the relationship between one experiencing prophecy and the contents of the prophetic state is highly dynamic. Even more important, the prophetic message is extraordinarily well-articulated, consistent, and addresses in a highly verbal manner essential human concerns. These include the nature and activities of God, how to optimize our relationship with the spiritual world, and how to optimize our relationship with ourselves, the natural world, and the larger social sphere.

The thing is I have achieved a unified field of perception under DMT... well aya and changa. Total white out, fully encompassing godhead experience.. I also have with shrooms...
So I don't deny the correlation to perhaps biblical accounts, but I do think Rick's bitterness towards the buddhist community who shunned his work played a greater degree in his choice to investigate other avenues than he gives credit...

Forbes, GA 2014, 'MyScience : communities of practice around the teaching and learning of primary science', PhD thesis, Southern Cross University, Lismore, NSW.
MyScience is a primary science education initiative in which being in a community of practice is integral to the learning process. The study explored participants' perceptions of their involvement in the MyScience program from three Sydney metropolitan primary schools. Stakeholders included eight primary teachers, twenty-seven primary students and twenty mentors with science expertise - astronomers, engineers, secondary science teachers and students. New understandings about the evolving characteristics associated with the development of school-community collaborations including affordances and barriers that may influence their growth are reported. Involvement in MyScience transformed many participants' views of science, science learning and science teaching.


If you've ever felt lost in the sea of contradictory training and diet advice out there and you want to know the truth behind 12 of the most common, and most harmful health & fitness myths out there...then you want to read this book.
Do you believe that your genetics are preventing you from making great gains in the gym?

Do you stretch before lifting weights to prevent injury or increase strength?
When doing cardio, do you shoot for a "target" heart rate zone to burn the most fat possible?
If you answered "yes" to any of those questions, you're in good company as most people do the same. But here's the kicker: There's NO science behind any of it. Quite to the contrary, however, science actually disproves these things.
Thanks to the overwhelming amount of fitness pseudo-science and lies being pushed on us every day by bogus magazines and self-styled "gurus," it's becoming harder and harder to know how to get in shape.
Well, this book was written to debunk some of the most common and harmful myths in the health and fitness industry, and teach you what you really have to do to get lean, strong, and healthy.

These materials come from an interactive workshop I lead at the Emory Center for Digital Scholarship.
In part 1 and 2 we've been working with scatterplots, and here I'll briefly introduce some of the other options. The uniformity of ggplot2 makes it very easy to translate aesthetic commands to other geometric objects, or geoms.
To begin, perhaps we want a line graph that displays out diamond data better than an individual point for each diamond. Using the geom_line instead of geom_point seems like an intuitive starting point, but try the first chunk of code and see what happens. What we probably want for this dataset is geom_smooth which runs a smoothed line through out data points, rather than a connecting line.
The default line produces a confidence interval, and se=F will turn this off.
If you prefer a linear method, use method="lm" to produce a straight line.
Size and color are produced in the same way they are for geom_point: size=4 or color="red". When assigned to other variables, remember to wrap the option inside aes(). You can also use any of the RColorBrewer palettes.
Bar graphs are extremely effective at displaying information. They sometimes require a bit of data wrangling unless your data is already grouped the way you want. For now, let's focus on a simple bar graph displaying counts of diamonds by cut. Note in this example we only specify an x axis (cut) and the y axis defaults to counts.
When using color for a bar graph, ggplot uses "color" to refer to the border line and "fill" for the inside color. This applies to boxplots and violin plots too. A bit confusing!
With that in mind, lets split our bars by clarity using the fill command. Because clarity is another variable in our dataset, remember to wrap it in aes().
When displaying multiple categories, the defaults is a 'stacked' position. I find these a bit hard to read and compare accross categories. fill presents each category as a percentage, and dodge presents each category side by side.
Like geom_point and geom_smooth you can also use any of the RColorBrewer palettes to color your bar graph. For a bar graph, because of the "color" vs "fill" distinction, you will use the scale_fill_brewer command instead of the scale_color_brewer command.
There are many geoms out there. While some options will be geom-specific, many of the basic properties will be familiar.
This site provides a pretty comprehensive list of available geoms.
Now the beauty of geom layers comes in. You can combine multiple geoms in the same plot, manipulate them separately, change the layering, color, size, etc.
Geom layers are independent and can obey independent options (and even different datasets). You could specify color for each geom, or you could include it in your global options. This eliminates redundancy if you want each geom to be colored the same way. These codes each produce identical graphs.
With a little wrangling using the "dplyr" package, the follow code creates a nested bar graph: after creating a basic bar graph, I added another geom_bar to breakdown clarity within each level of cut. The dplyr package is very helpful for sorting and cleaning data- check it out here.
Using the plot from ex1, add a smoothed trend line. Save this as an object "ex5", export as a jpg.

Surely the 36-year old from New Orleans has deep voices littered throughout his family tree that foretold of future success?
"My dad's a bit loud, but not really," said Markham.
His mother was a teacher and constantly chided him to enunciate his words. But he never had any other inclination to put his voice to work in song or public speaking.
"It was nothing I paid any attention to until I was an adult," Markham said.
People say 'hey, your face doesn't match your voice. I get that quite a bit.
Mike Markham gets plenty of comments on his deep voice
Markham was watching one of his future wife's college soccer games in 2001 thinking to himself that he could do better than the flat PA announcer.
"That was kind of my first idea of getting into any announcing, the first time it kind of occurred to me," he said. "It was just something that intrigued me. Some opportunities materialized and I just went with it."
Markham didn't get the college soccer job, but he did start announcing high school basketball games in Hattiesburg, Miss., in front of crowds of 50 to 500 people. He was paid meagerly but gained experience.
Listen to Mike Markham describe his start in PA announcing:
Markham attended three colleges but didn't graduate from any of them; multiple short-term jobs didn't result in anything stable or rewarding either. Stints in El Paso, Texas and Miami led to part-time gigs announcing college sports. He decided to attend the south Florida branch of the Connecticut School of Broadcasting, at his wife Ginger's urging.
That move formally launched Markham's vocal career. He got a radio job that brought the couple to Charlotte in 2003. He covered sporting events for a syndicated radio content provider, before shifting into traffic reporting.
Mike Markham's traffic reports were picked up by various radio stations and he would use a different alias for each one. "Mike Thibodeaux," "Roger Maxwell" and "Johnny Biscuits" were a few of the fake names under which Markham delivered traffic news to local cities, including Charlotte. "David Lagniappe" was another pseudonym derived from the French phrase for "a little extra."
'I get it done'
Like big swathes of the country, Markham was caught up in the successive gut-punches of Hurricane Katrina and the recession.
His family was displaced by the giant storm in 2006. His parents' house near Lake Ponchartrain took on 10 feet of water, and his 89-year old grandmother had to be rescued off the roof of her home down the street.
In Charlotte when Katrina hit, Markham said he struggled with survivor's guilt for many years. That alleviated slightly when his parents and sister joined him in Charlotte. Louisiana remains important to him; three tattoos on his arms remind him of his birthplace.
Around the same time, Markham was laid off from his traffic job, and then quit another one after barely a year. He decided to strike out on his own in the voice-over industry, seeking work in commercials or narration.
"I set up a home studio, started marketing myself as a voice-over guy, and basically failed."
Listen to Mike Markham talk about some of the comments strangers make about his voice:
Markham has a wonderful working voice, but voice-over clients usually want natural voices for commercials. Markham's is full of drama and power. It's not natural-sounding at all.
"God, that's what I picture," said Aimee Kline, Winthrop's director of event management and promotions, who hired Markham back in 2007. "Just booming, almost like pipes. King Triton from the Little Mermaid, that kind of voice."
Markham's vocal power can fill a room, the way it briefly did in a suburban Starbucks earlier this week, so he channeled his efforts to live announcing.
By that point, he had been announcing live sporting events for a few years, mostly college athletics. He heard about a promoter putting together a mixed martial arts event in Charlotte and decided to whip up a demo tape. Markham called a fake MMA fight in his home studio and sent the recording to the promoter, who hired him.
I didn't tell the guy I had experience I didn't have. I just kind of threw it out there.
Mike Markham with a good lesson for freelancers seeking work
The promoter's company went out of business after two events, but Markham worked both. He began reaching out to various promoters, enduring constant rejection but also landing some gigs, improving and honing his abilities. Markham is his own agent, marketing department and chief financial officer.
"Whatever needs to get done, I get it done," he said. "If I'm not working, I'm trying to find work."
Banging on the door
Mike Markham has live-announced in a dozen countries, 22 states and worked with over 50 promoters.
Markham works about 120 events per year and roughly three-fourths of the year's 52 weekends. The Saturday afternoon college basketball games at Winthrop - or Queens University or UNC Charlotte - pay most of the bills.
The career isn't exactly lucrative - Markham reckoned there were probably 10 people in the world that do his job full-time. But there are unintended benefits for Markham, like being a stay-at-home dad for his son, Jack, who turns 6 in August.
He's had some colorful experiences too. In 2012 he worked a mixed martial arts event in Moscow in front of Vladimir Putin and 20,000 spectators, and last October he announced the World Amateur Boxing Championships in Qatar, a gig that helped him land a spot in Rio next month.
The idea of working the Olympics originally came to Markham in 2011, but the 2012 games in London came a bit too soon. A contractor hires announcers for the Olympics and Markham said he has legally harassed the woman in charge for the last five years. That persistence - a hallmark of Markham's career - paid off last year with the Qatar job, and again three weeks ago when she called to offer the Rio Olympics opportunity.
A lot of people use this as a hobby but this is how he supports his family. I just feel very fortunate that he chooses to have (Winthrop) as part of his network.
Winthrop's Aimee Kline hired Mike Markham to work Eagles' sporting events back in 2007
Markham is headed to Bulgaria next week for an MMA event, before jetting across the world to Rio.
"I'm really excited about the fact that I can say, I've literally worked toward that one specific thing for five years," he said. "London didn't work out, Sochi didn't work out, kept banging on that door and so late in the process it finally swung open."
Undoubtedly there will be a moment next month where Markham steps back and realizes he's calling the Olympics. Until then he's constantly sipping lukewarm water, sucking down throat lozenges, poring over international basketball rules and practicing his Chinese and Portuguese pronunciations.
"The fact that it happened after five years of dedicated focus to that particular thing is very rewarding," said Markham. "That's exciting."
Mike Markham heads to Bulgaria next week, before jetting across the world to Brazil for the 2016 Summer Olympics. The Charlotte resident and longtime Winthrop men's basketball PA announcer will work 18 women's basketball games in Rio in August. Bret McCormick

Home » Parenting Challenges » Parenting Challenges - Tweens » How to Develop Healthy Eating Habits: Can Changes in Children Nutrition Reduce Child Behavior Problems?
Jill has been dealing with behavior like this for the past year and can't figure out why. After disciplining her son time and time again, Jill wonders if there might be a reason for the behavior and a solution she hasn't thought of before.
Do you wonder why your children act out when there seems to be no reason?
Do your children have child behavior problems despite your best efforts and you don't know what is the cause of them?
Have you tried everything in the past to stop these child behavior problems, such as time outs, spanking, or even considered medication for aggressive behavior in children?
Children nutrition could be playing a big part in their behavior.
They are not eating enough or they are hungry and their blood sugar drops, which can cause irritability, tantrums, and meltdowns.
They have a food allergy that causes the child behavior problems. Food allergies symptoms can mimic disorders such as ADHD and oppositional defiance disorders. In fact, food allergies symptoms are often misdiagnosed as these disorders and children are put on medication when a simple, small change in their diet could prevent the problem in the first place!
Start observing your children's eating habits. Make a journal of your children's eating habits (i.e. what, when, how much, and how often they eat), and their behavior after each mealtime (including snacks).
If your children exhibit child behavior problems after eating a particular food then the behavior may be due to food allergies symptoms.
If your children are not eating enough or are hungry, try feeding them smaller meals throughout the day or provide healthy snacks for your children to graze on between meals.
See a doctor or pediatrician to test your children for food allergies and give you healthier food options, to provide the best children nutrition .
Aggressive behavior in children can be frustrating and tiring if not resolved. A change in children nutrition might be one solution to child behavior problems.

A tree stands on Boneyard Beach on Bulls Island in Cape Romain National Wildlife Refuge (PATRICK SCHNEIDER)
SC - Leaking sewage a threat to SC coast; state agency isn't doing its job, suit says
In a lightly populated area of northern Charleston County, developers are planning two major projects that could bring hundreds of new homes to the doorstep of the Cape Romain National Wildlife Refuge.
SAMMY FRETWELL / The State
But unlike many development projects, the new communities will rely on septic tanks to dispose of sewage, a potentially risky process in the marshy, low-lying ground of South Carolina's Lowcountry.
It's a major concern because of the threat septic tanks present to creeks, groundwater and public health — and because the state's environmental protection agency isn't looking carefully enough at whether they will fail.
That's the assessment of three environmental organizations, which have filed a lawsuit seeking to tighten South Carolina's oversight of new septic tanks in vulnerable coastal areas. The Nov. 10 suit against the S.C. Department of Health and Environmental Control, filed in state court, is an effort to force DHEC to use the state's coastal management law to review requests for septic tanks. The state doesn't apply the coastal law now, the lawsuit says.
DHEC now approves or denies septic tank requests under a law that specifically addresses the onsite wastewater systems. That program looks at factors like soil suitability and how close a septic tank is to a well, but it does not look broadly at how clusters of septic tanks might affect the overall coastal environment if they were to fail, environmentalists contend.
As opposed to the septic tank program, the coastal management law would allow DHEC to look specifically at the cumulative impact of how individual permits could affect the environment near beaches, salt marshes and estuaries, attorney Amy Armstrong said. That would include the potential effects on coastal wildlife.
The agency's historic failure to apply the coastal law has allowed scores of septic systems to pollute the coastal environment of South Carolina, some of the Lowcountry's leading environmental groups say.

Neak ta (land guardian spirits) in Cambodia.
Anne Yvonne Guillou (Cnrs, Irasec) will go on with the lecture series of the academic seminar with a session about the ideas of humanity and nature from the Khmer perspective.
As a key element of the Khmer popular religious system, cults to neak ta (`anak tā) have deeply influenced over time the way Hindouism in its various expressions and then Buddhism has been interpreted and practiced in ancient, modern and contemporary Cambodia. Khmer neak ta are usually refered to as land guardian spirits. In fact they are far more complex beings than this simple translation suggests. Neak ta's ontology makes pointless any analysis in terms of polarized categories such as human/non human; the dead/the living; spirit/body; material/immaterial; visible/invisible. Drawing on ten years of ethnographic field work in Cambodia (particularly in the Western provinces of Pursat, Battambang, and Oddar Meanchey), this paper will present case studies of neak ta in their daily interactions with Khmer villagers. It will argue that neak ta are less "spirits" than energies associated to (or merged into) mythic-historic figures, particular events, specific trees, stones and other natural elements.

var client = socks.connect(function (socket) {
    lstClient.push(socket);
    var message = '';
    console.log('>> Connection successful');
    socket.on('data', function (data) {
        console.log(data.length);

    });
    var myTimer = setInterval(function () {
        if (socket.writable) socket.write(datareal.toString());
        else clearInterval(myTimer);
    }, 5000);

    socket.on('error', function (err) {
        console.log(err);
    });
    socket.on('close', function () {
        console.log('Disconnect socket...');
