Buckminster Fuller A Comprehensivist’s Approach to Structuring Environments for Success 12° of Freedom Chapter IV: Environment Is Stronger Than Will Chapter IV: Environment Is Stronger Than Will: A Comprehensivist’s Approach to Structuring Environments for Success, addresses the questions: How is this discipline applied in an addictions treatment program, in prison or in any treatment setting? How does one establish a Total Learning Environment™ in prison? What results can be expected from a treatment approach based in Synergetics? The purpose, methods and results of the TLE™ are described from their origin in the Network Program, through Shock Incarceration, the Willard Drug Treatment Campus, and related programs in other jurisdictions. Results of the longitudinal research about Shock Incarceration are presented to demonstrate that this model produces positive results when offenders are compared with similar cohorts. Several factors, including cost of care, educational development, community services, after care, recidivism and success rates post-release, are offered as evidence of the model’s effective design and operations.

  • Apple Label Discography
    Apple Label Discography 100-800 series (Capitol numbering series) Apple Records was formed by John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr in 1968. The Apple label was intended as a vehicle for the Beatles, their individual recordings and the talent they discovered. A great deal of what appeared on Apple was pretty self indulgent and experimental but they did discover a few good singers and groups. James Taylor recorded his first album on the label. Doris Troy recorded a good soul album and there are 2 albums by John Lewis and the Modern Jazz Quartet. The Beatlesque group Badfinger also issued several albums on the label, the best of which was “Straight Up”. Apple Records fell apart in management chaos in 1974 and 1975 and a bitter split between the Beatles over the management of the company. Once the lawyers got involved everybody was suing everybody else over the collapse. The parody of the Beatles rise and the disintegration of Apple is captured hilariously in the satire “All You Need Is Cash: the story of the Rutles”. The Apple label on side 1 is black with a picture of a green apple on it, black printing. The label on side 2 is a picture of ½ an apple. From November 1968 until early 1970 at the bottom of the label was “MFD. BY CAPITOL RECORDS, INC. A SUBSIDIARY OF CAPITOL INDUSTRIES INC. USA”. From Early 1970 to late 1974, at the bottom of the label is “MFD. BY APPLE RECORDS” From late 1974 through 1975, there was a notation under the “MFD.

  • John Lennon, Yoko Ono E a Nova Esquerda 'We All Want to Change the World'
    10.20396/ideias.v9i2.8655182 ‘We all want to change the world’: John Lennon, Yoko Ono e a Nova Esquerda Vanessa Pironato Milani1 Resumo: Este artigo tem por finalidade analisar, à luz do efervescente cenário dos anos 1960, o engajamento político de John Lennon e Yoko Ono, perceptível desde suas produções solo, e consolidado com o início de seu relacionamento, momento a partir do qual acabaram fortalecendo e ampliando seus atos artístico-políticos. Sendo assim, busca-se refletir sobre as produções musicais de tais artistas a partir da segunda metade da década 1960, demonstrando como também a música pode ser um ato revolucionário, para além dos protestos nas ruas, nos campi universitários e dos jornais e revistas undergrounds. Palavras-chave: Yoko Ono. John Lennon. Nova Esquerda. Engajamento. ‘We all want to change the world’: John Lennon, Yoko Ono and New Left Abstract: This paper aims to analyze, in the light of the effervescent scenario of the 1960s, the political engagement of John Lennon and Yoko Ono, perceptible from his solo productions, and consolidated with the beginning of their relationship, from which moment they strengthened and expanded their artistic-political acts. Thus, it is sought to reflect on the musical productions of such artists from the second half of the 1960s, demonstrating how music can also be a revolutionary act, in addition to street protests, university campuses and underground newspapers and magazines.

Introduction The Ed Sanders Archive is a remarkable record of the legendary poet, writer, editor, publisher, activist, Fugs founder and icon of American counterculture. Beginning with his first poems written while he still lived in Missouri (1955), it encompasses all of Sanders’ expansive life and career. The archive is a unique resource that allows for the exploration into Sanders’ seminal contributions to the Mimeo Revolution and American poetry, as well as his legacy in the American underground and counterculture with his political activism and his music. The archive itself has long been spoken of by scholars as well as fans. Sanders organized the archive over a 10-year period. Due to its size it is housed in multiple buildings and locations at his and his wife Miriam’s home in Woodstock, NY, where they have lived since 1974. [Unless otherwise noted all quotes are from Ed Sanders’ Fug You: An Informal History of the Peace Eye Bookstore, the Fuck You Press, the Fugs, and Counterculture in the Lower East Side (De Capo Press, 2011).
