A la découverte de la croisée - Stages à thèmes sur La Croisée Découverte Drugs | Cynicologist February 18, 2011 in Bizarre, Drugs, World What better place to test out your new cool new psychedelics than a small town in the Nazi-trampled, grief-stricken, war-ravaged remnants of a post second world war France? Apparently the CIA couldn’t think of any. Plus I can’t imagine them being dreadfully fond of the French (what with all the anti-French anecdotes littering American comedy). On August 15th 1951, residents of the Southern French village of Pont Saint Espirit underwent what appeared to be an inexplicable mass psychosis. One man reportedly thought his heart had somehow exited his chest and pleaded a doctor to retrieve and return in it to it’s place. The leading theory at the time didn’t seem too uniform. In recent years American investigative journalist Hank Albarelli seems to have uncovered a most unusual puzzle, the details of which can be found in his novel “A Terrible Mistake” (link to Amazon book ‘look inside’ preview). references gathered via [Albarelli, H.

All you need to get started with this woodcarving style is a good quality carving knife and a piece of wood. In this technique, bits of wood are cut away from a block of wood until the design the carver has in mind, takes shape. Most of the accomplished wood carvers who use this technique, use only the carving knife for both roughing and detailing work. Typically, the design is not smoothened using a sand paper; the knife strokes are noticeably visible and those are what characterizes the final piece. Carving-in-the-round: This is a more advanced form of woodcarving that can produce sculptures and structures, which are more lifelike with more details and smoother texture. Relief Carving: Relief carved woodwork is three dimensional. Chip Carving: In this method of carving wood, selected portions of wood are chipped away to give shape to a particular design.

Alternate Sleep Cycles Most people only think that there is one way to sleep: Go to sleep at night for 6-8 hours, wake up in the morning, stay awake for 16-18 hours and then repeat. Actually, that is called a monophasic sleep cycle, which is only 1 of 5 major sleep cycles that have been used successfully throughout history. The other 4 are considered polyphasic sleep cycles due to the multiple number of naps they require each day. Well the most important of every sleep cycle is the Stage 4 REM (Rapid Eye Movement) sleep, which has been shown to provide the benefits of sleep to the brain above all other stages of sleep. This way, you still get the benefits of 8 hours of sleep without wasting all of the time it takes to get to REM cycles, resulting in a much more efficient sleep cycle. Uberman Cycle: 20 to 30 minute naps every 4 hours, resulting in 6 naps each day. Everyman Cycle: One longer “core” nap that is supplemented with several 20-30 minute naps. Dymaxion Cycle: Biphasic/Siesta Cycle: – Hang in there.
