Should adidas Release an RG3 Training Shoe?
April 7th, 2014 by Brendan Dunne | 2 comments
What's next from adidas and Robert Griffin III? Whatever it is, it will feature this newly revealed logo for RG3, which looks sort of Superman-like if you ask us. Obviously a football athlete's on-field shoes can't translate to casual wear in the same way a basketball player's might, so perhaps it's time that adidas give Griffin a little bit more shine and whip up a trainer model for the Washington Redksins quarterback. Let us know if you'd like to see that down in the comments after you see the full shot of the new logo and keep it locked with Sneaker News for updates.

It was a thrill to learn recently that one of my favorite Mad magazine artists, the legendary Al Jaffee, would give his personal papers to Columbia University. Among those treasures are a massive cache of Jaffee's much-loved Mad fold-in cartoons and notebooks of ideas Jaffee never even submitted for publication.
In the 1971 action / adventure series "The Pursuaders!" two equally-matched men from different backgrounds, team together to solve cases which the courts cannot. The main characters are represented by Roger Moore and Tony Curtis. The UK series lasted 24 episodes and number 18 is very interesting for MAD collectors and fans. In one scene there is an original MAD Magazine slotmachine from SEGA visible. This collectible is pretty hard to find these days.

I received this in my box and was pleased by how well it worked on wrinkles. At first my sensitive skin was not reacting to it, which is a rarity with facial moisturizers. So I bought a bottle, even though it is on the high side of what I like to pay for facial products. At first it was just as good as my experience with the sample, but soon that changed. I don't know if the product turned or went bad, but my skin started to really react badly to it. Add to that that EWG Skin Deep Cosmetics database scores this product a 9 (1-10 scale, 10 being the most potentially hazardous.) So I will not be repurchasing this product.
I got the sample size in my October box, right before the dry, cold, winter weather set in!! It moisturizes without being too oily. It's lightweight and refreshing, and I have seen a difference in my skin's clarity after using this product. There is a scent to this product that might irritate some users, but I personally like the smell.
This lotion reminds me of rose petals. It's soft and smells great! I only wish it had some SFP. I have acne prone skin and I like to avoid too many products on my face so I avoid using this product during the day.
I have very sensitive skin and although this is a great moisturizer it made my skin break out. It's always nice to try different moisturizers though and like the description says...it's never to early to start an anti aging regimen.
I like this product a lot. I got it as a sample and bought the full size. It makes your skin feel great and brightens it. My roommate actually asked me what I was doing with my skin because it looks soft and great!
Very high price point on this product. But if you can afford it or find a great deal, get it. I fell in love with the whole line of Sampar products.
I noticed a difference in my skins clarity, texture and moisture after one week of using this. It soaks in quickly, smells freshly of roses and is light enough to layer day cream and or sunscreen as well.
I loved this moisturizer for my face! It made me feel so refreshed. I would use it on my face every time I got out of the shower and I could feel how smooth my face was a few hours later.
scent is wonderful and spa-like, extremely moisturizing and fast- absorbing. Used every bit of the sample and plan to replenish supply!
This is one of the first sample products I've liked enough to order, but when I saw the price I decided not to get it. I don't mind a splurge but can't justify $70 for a small bottle of moisturizer.

This is quite possibly my favorite design of all time. This necklace is unique, beautiful, and a real eye-catcher. I get compliments on it, but even more than that, people do a double take, it is so pretty! Very unique, and high quality. It makes any occasion "special". I purchased the following earrings to go with it: http://www.overstock.com/Worldstock/Sterling-Silver-Mystic-Daisy-Carnelian-Glass-Earrings-Thailand/3179419/product.html
Bought this for my neice who is eighteen. She loved it! She has red hair and fair skin and the necklace looks great on her! The box it came in is lovely too (no need to wrap- bonus!). The color is more on the burnt orange side, which was perfect for my neice.
I was hoping it wouldn't look cheap when it arrived and I could see it in person, and it is so far from that! It is stunning, well made, and beautiful!! Such a great piece, that it needs no other accessories to go with it! LOVE IT!
I was a bit disappointed in the color. The necklace has no red coloring, it's more ambers, oranges, and browns. I get compliments when I wear it but it's rather itchy, but I'm allergic to nickel, so maybe it has some in it. Overall recommended, but it's not for everyone.
I bought this piece for a friends birthday. I was disappointed in the color. It was not as striking as in the picture. Overall, the design was unusual and interesting however I felt the piece was over priced for the workmanship and quality of gems. I would like to see some improvements in length of the necklace and ear rings to match.
This neckace is just beautiful. It was bought as a gift and she just loved it. I was hoping it was a pretty as the picture and it was!
Not worth the money. Not as attractive as pictured, looks really junky in reality.
This necklace is so beautiful. I was so happy to see you can expand it to another length in addition. I have purchased other products of this brand and love them all! Beautifully packaged!
Absolutely beautiful on as if it was meant for me. Great buy and great with matching earrings.
Both items I ordered are simply beautiful. My daughter will love them. But it took 2 weeks to get them. I would order from them again but plan on them taking longer to receive.

Fall 2010
Michael Bastian
February 14, 2010
Location: New York
The Vibe for Fall 2010: A little edgier than the king of cashmere usually is. This season, he has his usual mix of Fantastic Mr. Fox-ready tweeds and cords and bold plaids, but he's also added in a rougher side: a strong punch of romper-stomper grit—shin-high Doc Martens and thin suspenders hanging off the ass, not holding up the pants. Bold, all the way.

Essential Afrika 70 recordings, produced by Fela Kuti.
Babatunde 'Tunde' Williams was born in Nigeria, in 1943. Like Fela, his family was from Abeokuta, but his father was employed by the United Africa Company in the middle belt city of Makurdi, where Tunde was born in 1943. He attended primary school at Gboko Elementary School in the nearby town of Gboko, and later attended Katsina-Ala Middle School in the northern town of Katsina. Unbeknownst to most people, Tundes first instrument was percussion, and his earliest professional experience was as a conga, bongo, and traps player for various highlife bands in the early 1960s. By 1965 he was playing with the highlife band of Olu McFoy, and he later joined Atomic Eight, a highlife and copyright band from Aba in eastern Nigeria. It was in Atomic Eight that he befriended the bandleader Raymond Baba, a multi-instrumentalist who was proficient on both brass and woodwinds. Inspired by Babas example, Tunde switched from percussion to trumpet shortly thereafter, with Baba as his first teacher. He also cites Louis Armstrong and Miles Davis as formative influences on the instrument.
Tunde joined Felas Koola Lobitos as a trumpeter in late 1967, and remained with Fela through 1978, when he and several other bandmembers left the group acrimoniously following the Berlin Jazz Festival in September of that year. In Afrika 70, he was the most consistent soloist, and his trumpet improvisations graced virtually of the bands 1970s recordings. The tracks for Mr. Big Mouth had been recorded in 1975, but by the time they were released in 1977, Fela was engaged in a bitter battle with the original label, Decca Records. As a result, many of Afrika 70s Decca releases from 1977-8 fell through the proverbial cracks, and Mr. Big Mouth was unfortunately one of them. Although it is a great album, it was given little promotion and as a result, is known only to the most committed Afrobeat aficionados, even in Nigeria.
The music on Mr. Big Mouth is similar in feel and mood to other Afrika 70 releases from this time on Deccas Afrodisia imprint such as Felas No Agreement, Stalemate, and Fear Not for Man, and Tony Allens No Accomodation for Lagos. The title track is typical of Afrika 70s uptempo grooves and like much of Felas music the lyrics are socially-critical in tone, although unlike Felas songs, Tundes lyrics are not directed at the government. Rather, he says the title track was a commentary on some of the indigenous contractors at that time. The government would give these contractors money to complete a job, and instead they would take the money and surround themselves with women, fancy clothes, and flashy cars, and go around the town bragging like big shots. The jobs never got done, and many of them ended up going to jail for defrauding the government. Thats what I was singing about. Tundes mid-tempo instrumental The Beginning (so named because it was his first piece of music to be recorded) is certainly one of the most infectious tracks to come out of Felas organization. The laid-back Afrobeat groove is dark and suspenseful, and one can easily hear why the song was often played during Afrika 70s warm-up sets, as it perfectly sets the tone for a late, smoky night at the Afrika Shrine.
Anyone who saw Fela in performance will remember baritone saxophonist Lekan 'Baba Ani' Animashaun, who was always situated stage left, with his trademark cap on his head and his baritone sax in hand. He was a core member of Koola Lobitos, Nigeria 70, Afrika 70, and Egypt 80.
Baba Ani was born in Lagos in August, 1936, and his primary education was split between All Saints School in Oshogbo (in Oshun State), and Ansaruddin Primary School in Alakoro, Lagos Island. His secondary education was at National High School, in the Ebutte-Meta area of Lagos.
He cites jazz baritonists Gerry Mulligan and Pepper Adams as inspirations, and credits bandleader Chris Ajillo as his first saxophone teacher. Animashaun and Ajilo met when Baba Ani joined the dance orchestra of the Nigerian Broadcasting Company (NBC), playing various ballroom dance styles including 'cha-chas, pachangas, and waltzes'. He also played with Ajilos own band, Chris Ajilo And His Cubanos, playing highlife and Afro-Cuban music. In 1965, Baba Ani met Fela Ransome-Kuti, who was also on the staff of NBC and who broadcasted a weekly jazz programme. Animashaun joined Koola Lobitos the same year, and remained with Fela until the latters death in 1997. Today, he continues to lead the Egypt 80 band, now fronted by Felas youngest son Seun.
Baba Anis two songs here were tinkered with over a period of years, but the basic tracks date from the last days of the regime of General Olusegun Obasanjo, around 1979. This was a tough time for the Afrika 70 organization, which was still recovering from the military attack (allegedly ordered by Obasanjo) that was launched on Felas Kalakuta Republic in February 1977, as well as the departure of Tony Allen and most of the Afrika 70 band following the Berlin Festival. By mid-1979, Fela had finally opened his new Afrika Shrine in Ikeja (an outlying suburb of Lagos). Animashaun was appointed bandleader of the new band, which was also named Afrika 70 until 1981 when Fela rechristened it Egypt 80. The opening of the new Afrika Shrine ended over two years of harassment and performances forcibly aborted by the government and soldiers of the Nigerian Army. Nevertheless, Felas battles with the Nigerian authorities continued, and were particularly severe during the early 1980s. As a result, Baba Anis songs remained unreleased for years. Work on the tracks resumed in Paris in 1986 (in a marathon recording session which followed Felas release from an 18-month prison term), but they were again shelved until 1995, when they were finally released on Felas Kalakuta Records as Kalakuta 003. Even then, Animashaun laments that the release wasnt given particularly vigorous promotion by the labels staff. As a result, Low Profile remained primarily familiar to the faithful attendants of the Afrika Shrine, while Serere (Do Right) gained a bit more exposure, used as Egypt 80s set opener at home and on the bands international tours of the 1980s and 1990s.
The two songs were social criticisms of a sort, filtered through the unique prism of Felas Afrobeat experience. The title of Serere (Do Right) is self-explanatory; the lyrics ask the listener to act constructively in society, regardless of professional or social status. The title Low Profile (Not for the Blacks) takes as its inspiration comments made in late 1976 by then-General Olusegun Obasanjo. In response to a surge in armed robberies at the height of the Nigerian oil boom, General Obasanjo urged Nigerians to avoid ostentatious displays of wealth and to adopt a low profile, in order to discourage the thieves who preyed upon the Nigerian nouveau-riche. Animashaun disagreed with this sentiment, recalling I was trying to say that a low profile is not for black people. Black people are supposed to be living like kings and queens. Why should our rulers be telling us to live a low profile, while they themselves are living a high profile in [the upscale areas of] Ikoyi and Victoria Island?
There is still a fair amount of Fela-related Afrobeat music yet-to-be-reissued. Taken together, however, Mr. Big Mouth and Low Profile contribute two of the most important pieces of the puzzle.

Concordia University Chicago President John F. Johnson and his wife, Ruth Ann, have joined a team of fellow Lutheran college and university presidents to fund the construction of a water well in Ethiopia. This project, led by the Lutheran Education Conference of North America (LECNA) and made possible by Water to Thrive (W2T), addresses the critical need for clean, safe drinking water worldwide.
"Our purpose is to undertake a worthwhile mission project together and inspire our own students in the process," Johnson said. "All of our campuses stress service learning, and we are always driven to find ways to engage our students both in global concerns and ways to live out our faith in service to others."
W2T, a relatively new faith-based non-profit grown out of a Lutheran Sunday School class, is dedicated to spreading awareness of the global water crisis while raising the funds needed to construct water wells for those who desperately need them in rural Africa. More than 300 W2T projects have brought clean water to at least 150,000 people in just five years.
The 104-year-old Lutheran Educational Conference of North America, previously led by Dr. Johnson as president of the board of directors, is a group of 40 Lutheran colleges and universities in North America.

Study Abroad
Why Study Abroad?
A liberal arts education in the twenty-first century calls for an understanding of peoples and cultures beyond our shores. The Honors Program addresses this contemporary component by requiring the study of a foreign language as well as encouraging students to take courses in world history and inter-religious dialogue. However, the best way to understand a foreign culture is to live in it. Consequently the Honors Program strongly encourages students to spend some time studying abroad.
Where, When, How?
Students in the Honors Program have the unique opportunity of having their Gonzaga-awarded financial aid transfer to any study abroad program in the world. Thus Honors students have the option of studying abroad through a Gonzaga sponsored program, or they may choose any program outside of Gonzaga. Most Honors students study abroad for a semester during their junior year. However, some choose to study abroad for a full year, others go abroad in the summer, and some study abroad during their senior year.
Study Abroad Experiences
Studying abroad in Oxford was one of the most rewarding experiences of my life; not only did I get to direct my own study at my pace and in my area of interest, but also I had plenty of time to travel, make friends with British students, and experience living in a different country.
-Andrea Crow, studied in London at Oxford University
Having my scholarship money follow me to any program was huge. Without it, I probably would not have gone abroad. Besides, a lot of friends went abroad in Europe the same semester, so I could crash with them during weekend trips.
-Chris Heinrich, studied in Munich, Germany
I got a paid academic internship in Witzenhausen, Germany through the RISE program. It turned out to be mostly farming, growing and drying medicinal herbs, and building a corn maze. We didn't actually work that much though, and I had a ton of time to socialize and travel, much of which was paid for. It was completely unexpected and a total blast!
-Amelia Ferrel, worked in Witzenhausen, Germany
I fell in love; I became part of a family; I learned to live in solidarity.
-Katie Beno, studied in El Salvador
Studying abroad makes you feel like a different person: more conscious, more aware, and more worldly. As for the Honors Program, everyone wants to talk about their awesome, life-changing, consciousness building, awareness cultivating, worldly study abroad experiences and hear about yours.
-Leslie Cabrera, studied in Brazil
I studied abroad in Florence, and it was an incredible experience to spend a summer in Italy. Once I was there for a few days, I started to get to know some of the local secrets, like where to get the best gelato. It's amazing because after spending the first half of the day in class, I would have a huge gourmet lunch, courtesy of the owners of my pensione, and then I was basically free to wander the city. Florence is one of the few cities I've ever been to where literally everything has historical value.
-Clelia Leopold, studied in Florence, Italy
I really wanted something different, so I chose Santiago, Chile. Traveling all over South American while taking classes as a Chilean student is something I will cherish for the rest of my life. I became immersed in a culture and a lifestyle that led me to places and experiences I never thought possible before attending Gonzaga. It was worth every peso.
-Mike Merz, studied in Santiago, Chile

Conservatively Speaking
State Senator Mary Lazich (R-New Berlin) represents parts of four counties: Milwaukee, Waukesha, Racine, and Walworth. Her Senate District 28 includes New Berlin, Franklin, Greendale, Hales Corners, Muskego, Waterford, Big Bend, the town of Vernon and parts of Greenfield, East Troy, and Mukwonago. Senator Lazich has been in the Legislature for more than a decade. She considers herself a tireless crusader for lower taxes, reduced spending and smaller government.
Senator Lazich's Weekly Insight
Governor Walker Signs Vapor Recovery Act Into Law
Governor Walker signed Senate Bill 346 into law. Senate Bill 346 is 2013 Wisconsin Act 86 and allows the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) to issue grants to assist with removal of vapor recovery equipment at gas stations.
During the 2011-12 legislative session the legislature approved 2011 Act 196 directing the DNR to end Stage II Vapor Recovery June 30, 2013. Today's motor vehicles have onboard refueling vapor recovery systems, and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) finds Stage II Vapor Recovery equipment at gas stations is not necessary.
2013 Act 20, the 2013-15 state budget, created a vapor recovery equipment removal grant program, providing petroleum inspection funds for removing Stage II vapor recovery equipment at gas stations. Grant recipients must pay 50% of the eligible removal costs and the maximum grant allowed is $8,000. The budget provision directed the DNR to promulgate administrative rules. The problem is the rules process is expected to take more than a year.
2013 Wisconsin Act 86 specifies the grant in statute and makes the lengthy rule making process unnecessary. The new law allows grant money to be available sooner to the nearly 845 gas stations in the non-attainment zone with Stage II Vapor Recovery systems.
Here is a list of 23 bills Governor Walker signed into law Thursday December 12, 2013.
Common Core Update
Both the Senate and Assembly Select Committees on Common Core Standards released committee final recommendations.
The assembly committee approved eight recommendations during an executive session December 12, 2013. The recommendations include implementing measures to protect sensitive student information, establishing a review process for academic standards, and recommending the creation of Wisconsin-based standards. A full list of the recommendations may be found at this link.
The Senate Select Committee on Common Core released final recommendations. The recommendations include creating guidelines about adopting standards that meet Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) waiver requirements, creating a separate standards review board, two year Smarter Balance implementation postponement, discontinuing the Wisconsin Knowledge and Concepts Examination (WKCE), ensuring only minimally required data is gathered about Wisconsin students, and creating legislation prohibiting use of bio metric style measurement devices.
A Senate committee vote about the final report and recommendations is not scheduled.
ObamaCare Update
The State Senate is scheduled to meet Thursday, December 19, during Special Session to save thousands of families from losing healthcare coverage due to prolonged difficulties accessing affordable health care through the federal exchanges. Legislation expected to be approved by the Senate extends BadgerCare coverage from January 1, 2014 to April 1, 2014 providing BadgerCare recipients time to obtain health insurance via the Obamacare exchanges.

Wisconsin's Annual Fiscal Report
The Wisconsin Department of Administration (DOA) released the State of Wisconsin's Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013. The CAFR is prepared each year by DOA, Division of Executive Budget and Finance, State Controller's office.
The CAFR report is audited by the Legislative Audit Bureau (LAB). The LAB's comments about the CAFR are at page 17.

GTFOOH with that noise.
On a similar note, PLEASE don't discount players based on accolades. I'm not about to say that Ham/Lambert weren't all that, but anyone who watched Harrison or Greg Lloyd can say that they could've/would've played on those 70's teams too. And if they did, they would've reaped similar accolades.
Let's be honest--you have Joe Greene bringing heat from the inside, and Mel Blount mauling anyone on one side of the field (i.e. shut-down), and it wouldn't be hard for LBs to make some big plays.
I would take the group of Ham, Lambert and Russell.
I really enjoyed the group of Lloyd, Greene, Kirkland and Brown. I think that was probably the best 3-4 group I've seen. My favorite player on the team has typically been the ROLB - from Lloyd, to Porter, to Harrison.
I think that Harrison at his peak was probably the best that I've ever seen play. He absolutely owned the Ravens for a few years, and it was great to watch...
Playing Fantasy Football does not qualify you to be the in the front office or on the coaching staff of the Pittsburgh Steelers. They are professionals and you are not!
2014 Draft
1. Eric Ebron, TE
2. Calvin Pryor, S
3 (Comp). Jaylen Watkins, CB
4. Justin Ellis, DT/NT
5a. Brandon Coleman, WR
5b. Brent Urban, DE
6. Prince Shembo, OLB
7a. Aaron Colvin, CB
7b. Storm Johnson, RB
Harrison, Timmons, Ham, Kevin Green
Ham, Lambert, Russell
I'd go a little more creative in the modern NFL and go with a 4-3 trio of LBs in Ham, Timmons, and Polamalu. With these 3, no RB, TE, or slot WR may ever catch a pass again.
And to get a little more creative with the 3-4, I'd consider transitioning LC to OLB.
This is really tough to come up with the perfect combo cause we've had so many good ones. It's also hard to question Woodley's playoff production.
And I know Kendrell Bell had a very short career, but could you imagine him and Timmons lining up side by side? Team would be so afraid of their QB getting hit by one of them, you'd have free rushers getting to the QB all over the field.
Jack Lambert, Jack Ham , Andy Russle were the best I've seen. Andy was older and played on some with pretty terrible Steeler teams but still made it to the pro bowl in those days. Andy obviously was older than the bunch that caused him to retire so he doesn't get the four Super Bowl history added to his resume.
I've gotten to watch them all and the second group of guys would have beed Kevin Green, Lloyd, Kirkland. James Harrison in my opinion made everyone else good around him so he carried the bunch of linebackers..........well, Farrior was no bum either. I guess you can say the same about Kevin Green too that he added so much more to the unit when he arrived.
I know Lambert, Ham and Russell had some hall of fame guys in front and behind them but, these linebackers got the job done with very litle blitzing and when it was a run oriented league back in the day. I guess you can make arguements for any of the groups but it sure is a nice arguement to have as a Steeler fan.

Peak experience
|This article includes a list of references, but its sources remain unclear because it has insufficient inline citations. (August 2011)
Peak experience is a kind of transpersonal and ecstatic state, particularly one tinged with themes of euphoria, harmonization and interconnectedness. Participants characterize these experiences, and the revelations imparted therein, as possessing an ineffably mystical and spiritual (or overtly religious) quality or essence.
Many of the nuances that the term now connotes were expounded by psychologist Abraham Maslow, in his 1964 work Religions, Values, and Peak Experiences.[1] To some extent the term represents Maslow's attempt to "naturalize" those experiences which have generally been identified as religious experiences and whose origin has, by implication, been thought of as supernatural. Maslow (1970) believed that the origin, core and essence of every known "high religion" was "the private, lonely, personal illumination, revelation, or ecstasy of some acutely sensitive prophet or seer" (p. 19).
The nature of peak experiences[edit]
Peak experiences are described by Maslow as especially joyous and exciting moments in life, involving sudden feelings of intense happiness and well-being, wonder and awe, and possibly also involving an awareness of transcendental unity or knowledge of higher truth (as though perceiving the world from an altered, and often vastly profound and awe-inspiring perspective). They usually come on suddenly and are often inspired by deep meditation, intense feelings of love, exposure to great art or music, or the overwhelming beauty of nature. Peak experiences can also be triggered pharmacologically. A 2006 double-blind clinical study by Griffiths and colleagues showed that psilocybin (the principal psychoactive component of various psychedelic mushroom species) induced intense peak experiences in a majority of study volunteers.[2] In a 14-month follow-up study, a majority of volunteers reported that the psilocybin-induced experience had been overwhelmingly positive and was among the five most personally meaningful spiritual experiences of their lives.[3]
Maslow describes how the peak experience tends to be uplifting and ego-transcending; it releases creative energies; it affirms the meaning and value of existence; it gives a sense of purpose to the individual; it gives a feeling of integration; it leaves a permanent mark on the individual, evidently changing them for the better. Peak experiences can be therapeutic in that they tend to increase the individual's free will, self-determination, creativity, and empathy. The highest peaks include "feelings of limitless horizons opening up to the vision, the feeling of being simultaneously more powerful and also more helpless than one ever was before, the feeling of great ecstasy and wonder and awe, and the loss of placing in time and space" (1970, p. 164). When peak experiences are especially powerful, the sense of self dissolves into an awareness of a greater unity. Maslow's theories appear to be supported by the recent reports from Griffiths and colleagues, in which community observers (such as close family members) reported a variety of positive personality changes in volunteers in the psilocybin arm of the study.
Maslow claimed that all individuals are capable of peak experiences. Virtually everyone, he suggested, has a number of peak experiences in the course of their life, but often such experiences either go unrecognized, misunderstood or are simply taken for granted. In so-called "non-peakers", peak experiences are somehow resisted and suppressed. Maslow argued that peak experiences should be studied and cultivated, so that they can be introduced to those who have never had them or who resist them, providing them a route to achieve personal growth, integration, and fulfillment.
Sustained Peak Experience[edit]
Maslow defined[1] lengthy, willfully induced peak experiences (plateau experiences) as a characteristic of the self-actualized. He described it as a state of witnessing or cognitive blissfulness, the achievement of which requires a lifetime of long and hard effort, and also self-actualization.
Peak experiences are transient moments of self-actualization.
(Maslow, 1971, p. 48)
On peak experiences:
Human beings do not realise the extent to which their own sense of defeat prevents them from doing things they could do perfectly well. The peak experience induces the recognition that your own powers are far greater than you imagined them.
A somewhat more facetious and ironic viewpoint:
We can have in life but one great experience at best, and the secret of life is to reproduce that experience as often as possible.
Positive effects of resolving genealogical bewilderment:
Ancestral recovery was a peak experience, an extraordinary moment that took my breath away, liberated my spirit, and gave me the confidence to soar like an eagle.
(Judith Land, 2011, Adoption Detective: Memoir of an Adopted Child, p. 257)
I was high as a kite and more jubilant than a lottery winner was. My happiness was outside the natural range of variability for human emotions.
(Judith Land, 2011, Adoption Detective: Memoir of an Adopted Child, p. 168)
Recent developments[edit]
Prof. Gad Yair from the Hebrew University has developed a line of research on key experiences, especially relating to educational events. His papers on key experiences in higher education and on the role of those experiences in educational turning points are available online. The concept of key educational experiences refers to singular, short and intense educational encounters that proved to have strong and long-lasting effects on adults. These encounters are at times associated with a specific person who led them (e.g. teacher, parent, youth leader), at others with the structure of the episode itself (e.g. progress toward a peak event which is then associated with insight and hindsight). Indeed, many respondents speak of their key educational experiences in terms of sight: Exceptional activities cause prior blinders to be suddenly lifted off, producing clear vision and insight, notably about students' own selves.
