title: Orville Stoeber

text:
Orville Stoeber (born June 20, 1947) is an American singer/songwriter, actor and artist.

He is primarily known for his 1971 album Songs on UNI records (MCA), his work as score composer for the horror film Let's Scare Jessica to Death (1971), and his collaboration with author Margaret Atwood on Hymns of the God's Gardeners (2009), utilizing lyrics from The Year of the Flood (2009), the second book of her science fiction trilogy MaddAddam.

Music and acting career
After leaving the University of Nebraska for New York in the late 1960s, Stoeber, an Army brat, found work in the off-Broadway theater scene. One of his first jobs was as a singer in Robert Joffrey's 1967 multimedia ballet, Astarte. He also wrote music for A.R. Gurney Jr.'s Tonight! In Living Color! (1969) and Andy Warhol collaborator Ronald Tavel's Obie award winning play Boy on the Straight-Back Chair (1969), staged at the American Place Theatre. In 1970, Stoeber wrote music for John D. Hancock's short film Sticky My Fingers, Fleet My Feet, adapted by John Lahr from a New Yorker story, which was nominated for an Oscar. The following year, Stoeber released his debut album, Songs, and wrote the music for Hancock's horror film Let's Scare Jessica to Death. Stoeber continued to work with director Hancock as a composer and actor in several of his films, including Bang the Drum Slowly (1973), starring Robert DeNiro, and Weeds (1987), starring Nick Nolte.

In 1997, he acted in the thriller film Switchback, starring Dennis Quaid and Danny Glover, and the Nathan Lane comedy Mouse Hunt. That same year, following a long hiatus, Stoeber began recording music again, after meeting literary agent Phoebe Larmore, who went on to produce his self-recorded album Whispering Roots in 2000. Subsequent albums My Fatal Flaw and Necessary Imagination were produced with record producer Ted Perlman.

In 2009, author Margaret Atwood commissioned Stoeber to compose music for the lyrics from her novel The Year of the Flood, released that year on a CD titled Hymns of the God's Gardeners, simultaneous with the publication of the best-selling novel. Stoeber accompanied Atwood and performed selected hymns in an international musical presentation of the novel tour across the US, UK and Wales, as well as in Tokyo and Toronto. In the summer of 2014, HBO optioned Atwood's MaddAddam trilogy, for a series to be directed by Darren Aronofsky.

Stoeber continues to record music and act, serving in both capacities for Hancock's 2014 film, Swan Song, and he released a CD titled In the Cloud of Unknowing in the fall of that year. In the 2000s, Stoeber, also a multimedia artist and art teacher in Venice, CA, had his art in several galleries, including Altered Space and Koplin Del Rio.

title: BoneTown

text:
BoneTown is a pornographic action-adventure video game developed and published by American studio D-Dub Software, released for Microsoft Windows
on November 12, 2008, and November 12, 2018 for Android, iOS and Windows Phone 8. The game follows the player as he completes missions and has sex with various women.

Gameplay

BoneTown is an adult video game, in that it is sexually explicit in nature. The premise of the game is that as the player character completes more missions, his testicles become larger; the player is able to have sex with more attractive women as he becomes thinner.

The character wakes up to a fraternity brother urinating onto the player's face; the game then begins with a tutorial explaining how to beat up the brother. A blond woman explains to the player that the point of the game is to have sex with as many women as possible, and then performs fellatio on the player character. After finishing, a man in a suit approaches and explains that he is part of an organization called "The Man". He warns the player that public indecency is illegal and if the player is caught, he will be arrested. The player goes through the game completing missions for various individuals in a style reminiscent of the Grand Theft Auto video games; missions include participating in pornographic films and beating up someone claiming to be Jesus.

The player explores the game's locale, Bonetown, and its various neighborhoods which are sexual puns, such as "Missionary Beach". Women are scattered throughout the city, and the player is able to have sex with any of them; sex can either be for the player's enjoyment, or to recover in-game health, depending on the positions selected. The game requires the player to match the desires of the woman in order to last as long as possible. Temporary power-ups are given through recreational drug use.

Development
BoneTown was developed by Albuquerque-based D-Dub Software, which was founded in 2004 by recent college graduates Hod and JB. Hod stated that they set out to make a game which featured gratuitous sex and drug use but contained no violence; although the game contains weapons and fighting, there is no blood and people are only knocked out, not killed. He called Comedy Central's South Park "our number one influence" for the humor in the game. The company set out to create a new industry and marketing model for adult games as most retailers refuse to sell Adult Only rated games by the ESRB. BoneTown was self-released by D-Dub on November 12, 2008, and made it on mobile devices on November 12, 2018.

Reception
BoneTown received mostly negative reviews for its mediocre gameplay and juvenile humor. GameZone's Mike Splechta stated that the game, "... is essentially an interactive porno that, while is intriguing at first, is limited in scope." The reviewer noted that the game's dry sense of humor would only appeal to certain people. IGN in their "Year in Sex: 2008" summary, called Bonetown "an exploitation game of the first rank" and calls the gameplay mechanics "standard fare".

Sequel
D-Dub Software created a spin-off titled "BoneCraft" which was released in 2012, it follows Captain Fort Worth and his crew the Space Wranglers (accompanied by their sex robots) crash landed in a medieval planet populated by Elves, Orcs and other beings, the teams main mission is to collect 16 pieces of the "Hexa-Deca Force" to unlock the entrance to the Elven Brothel, home of the Elf Queen so the captain has sex with her. The team must dominate each tribe, seduce women, gather allies and battle giant monsters. The game acts as a RPG as well as being a mixture of fantasy and sci-fi, the games mechanics is exactly the same as BoneTown except that you can buy upgrades for combat and sex positions.

title: Ingelheim Imperial Palace

text:
The Ingelheim Imperial Palace () is an important imperial palace erected in the second half of the 8th century in Germany. It served Emperors and Kings as a residence and place for governance until the 11th century. The palatinate complex is located in the cadastral area of Nieder-Ingelheim, 15 km west of Mainz, in district "Im Saal". It is located at a slope with a view of the Rhine plains. Impressive remains of the buildings of the palace have been preserved above ground to this day. The greater part of the complex is located foundation under ground and  archaeological excavations have been able to reconstruct the entire system of buildings.

History of study

The first investigations of the palace area took place in middle of the 19th century. These first, small excavations were reported by  in August 1852. Paul Clemen undertook further excavations in 1888/9. The German Association for Art Research began systematic studies under the direction of Christian Rauch in 1909, which had to brought to a halt following the outbreak of the First World War. However, Rauch published preliminary reports on the excavations. This formed the basis of a model of the palace as a typical Carolingian palace, which was developed in 1931/32 and endured until 1975. In 1960, new excavations were undertaken by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft under the direction of . In 1963, Hermann Ament led new excavations, followed by further excavations in 1965 and 1968/70 under Uta Wengenroth-Weimann. Based on the overall plan of excavation and reconstructions by Walter Sage, Konrad Weidemann produced a new model of the Ingelheim Imperial Palace in 1975. Since 1995 further excavations have been ongoing in the area of the palace. These studies aim at a new record, description, and dating of the individual parts of the structure and of the overall topography. They have already led to quite a few discoveries. For example, a gold coin and belt tongue from the time of Charlemagne have been recovered, as well as the high medieval heating system. In addition, the latest excavation results have been used to create a new model of Ingelheim palace.

title: St. Aphrem Cathedral, Södertälje

text:
The Saint Afram Syriac Orthodox Cathedral (Swedish: ) is a Syriac Orthodox cathedral in Södertälje in Sweden. It was opened in 1983, and is governed by the Syriac Orthodox Patriarchate's Representation in Sweden. "It was not until 1983 that Syriacs constructed their first large-scale, purpose-built church in Södertälje. While they could use Swedish churches, their liturgical needs and social practices were not readily adaptable to these, nor were existing structures able to accommodate the hundreds of Syriac congregants who wanted to attend services. The first Syriac-commissioned church, St. Afrem’s, designed by a Swedish architect, was given a discreet exterior that concealed a decorative interior—primarily the product of donated Syriac labor and craftsmanship."

title: Small Change (Prism album)

text:
Small Change is the fifth studio album by Canadian rock band Prism, released in December 1981 by Capitol Records. It was the first of two Prism studio albums with lead vocalist Henry Small, who had replaced Ron Tabak after his forced departure and the last studio album to feature guitarist and founding member Lindsay Mitchell. The album is generally regarded as the genesis of the smoother, more adult-oriented sound of the band's later work. The album peaked at No. 53 on the Billboard 200.

On release, the album was received favorably by the majority of music critics, although it was criticized for being too commercial. This was a departure from the band's early arena rock roots and opinions became much more negative in subsequent decades. Regardless of the criticism, Small Change became Prism's most commercially successful studio album on the Billboard 200 and it was their first and only album to the make the Top 100. The lead single, "Don't Let Him Know", inspired by the Kim Carnes song "Bette Davis Eyes", was written by Jim Vallance, using his real name instead of the pseudonym Rodney Higgs that he used on previous Prism studio albums, and Bryan Adams. It became Prism's first and only Top 40 hit in the US and went on to peak at number-one on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Tracks chart in 1982. It stayed in the charts for just over four months. The follow-up single, "Turn On Your Radar", was their fifth and final single to chart, peaking at No. 64 on the Billboard Hot 100. Small Change went on to achieve Gold status in Canada (in excess of 50,000 copies sold).

Cover artwork
The album cover depicts Norman Rockwell's 1954 painting, Girl at Mirror. Additionally, the single releases of the songs "Don't Let Him Know" and "Turn On Your Radar" used the same image of the painting.

Background
As the band were thinking about recording their follow-up to the poorly received commercial disappointment Young and Restless in December 1980, Ron Tabak was fired. Various reasons have been cited, including his conflicts with other band members, several run-ins with the law and/or a lack of songwriting ability. A new lead vocalist Henry Small was brought in and the new four-piece line-up (Small/Mitchell/Harlow/Norton) recorded the album Small Change in the summer of 1981, which was released later in the year. Keyboardist John Hall departed the band early on during the sessions for the album.

By the beginning of 1982, Mitchell, Harlow and Norton had left Prism. With Mitchell's departure, Prism now had no original members left.

Critical reception

Reviewing retrospectively for AllMusic, critic Mike DeGagne wrote of the album "Prism substituted its vigorous rock & roll sound for a more refined blend of soft rock amiability, which paid off to some extent." He added that "The vocals are toned down, the extravagance of the horns and synthesizers are absent and the songs reflect a more adult-oriented feel."

title: Daniel Greenberger

text:
Daniel M. Greenberger is an American quantum physicist. He has been professor of physics at the City College of New York since 1964. He is also a fellow of the American Physical Society and—alongside Anton Zeilinger—founded the APS Topical Group on Quantum Information.

Biography

Daniel Greenberger graduated in 1950 from the Bronx High School of Science. He then graduated in 1954 from MIT, where he conducted his thesis under Laszlo Tisza. He received his MS (1956) and PhD (1958) from the University of Illinois, where his advisor was Francis E. Low.

After graduation, he spent two years in the US Army at a physics research lab connected to the NSA, working as a cryptanalyst, which eventually sparked his interest in quantum cryptography.

From 1961 to 1963 he was a postdoctoral fellow at UC Berkeley in Geoffrey Chew's high-energy theory group. In 1964, he became a faculty member at the City College of New York. Greenberger soon became interested in gravity. Around 1970, he went to MIT to see Clifford Shull to test the equivalence principle with neutrons from the university's reactor. As the reactor had been down for maintenance, Roberto Collela, Albert Overhauser, and Sam Werner devised a better way to do the experiment using a neutron interferometer.

During a conference at Grenoble in France in 1978, Greenberger met with Michael Horne and Anton Zeilinger, which—by 1986—would eventually prove to be an important collaboration in the development of the Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger state, a much improved version of Bell's theorem in quantum mechanics. In 1988, Greenberger won a Humboldt senior scientist award and went to Munich in 1988 to work at the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics in Garching.

Work and current research

Together with Anton Zeilinger and Michael Horne, Greenberger wrote the first paper on quantum entanglement beyond two particles. The resulting GHZ theorem (see Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger state) is fundamental for quantum physics, as it provides the most succinct contradiction between local realism and the predictions of quantum mechanics. Also, GHZ states were the first instances of multi-particle entanglement ever investigated. Such states have become essential in quantum information science. GHZ states are now even an individual entry in the PACS code.

Currently Greenberger is still working on entangled states—especially with many particles. He continues to be an editorial board member and managing editor of the Fortschritte der Physik, International Journal of Quantum Physics and Foundations of Physics.

title: Downtown Guntersville Historic District

text:
The Downtown Guntersville Historic District is a historic district in Guntersville, Alabama.  The district includes most of the central business district of Guntersville, as well as some houses.  The town was founded in the 1820s as a port on the Tennessee River.  Most of the town was destroyed during the Civil War, although the Henry-Jordan House was spared.  The business district began to rebuild after the war, and development was spurred in the late 19th and early 20th century by the Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis Railway and by manufacturing firms.  The opening of Guntersville Dam by the Tennessee Valley Authority in 1939 turned Guntersville into a peninsula, and created tourism and recreation opportunities on the new lake.  Many commercial buildings were constructed after World War II until 1964, in contrast to many small-town downtown areas.  Popular architectural styles from the time are represented, including elaborately decorated Victorian, simpler commercial brick styles, and post-war streamlined styles.

title: Incola Hotel

text:
The Incola Hotel was a luxury hotel constructed by the Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) company in the city of Penticton, British Columbia, Canada to provide quality accommodation for those traveling on the CPR mainline or steamships and passing through Penticton. The hotel opened in 1912 and served the city for 70 years before eventually being demolished in 1981.

Construction
Construction began on August 2, 1911 on a 1.23 acre site at 100 Lakeshore Drive. The cost was estimated at $100 000. A liquor license was granted on December 11, 1911 and the hotel opened on August 19, 1912. The building was of black and white half-timbre pattern, with a veranda and decorated in mock Tudor. Furniture was in solid oak and upholstered in leather. The four floors housed 62 rooms (14 had private baths), five public baths, a sun parlor, ladies' parlor, reading room, fireplace, billiard room, and music room. The hotel's first manager was W.J. Richardson from the Queen's Hotel in Toronto, Ontario. The hotel was built to accommodate passengers from the trains and CPR steamships such as the SS Sicamous.

Amenities
The Incola was a luxurious hotel with an elegant dining hall, as described by an Okanagan resident in the 1920s: "Dinner at the Incola hotel was a real treat...the dining room at the Incola was on a second storey level, so as to give you a lovely view of the lake, so you went up quite a broad flight of steps to reach the entrance in those days. The room was quite large and impeccably furnished with white linen-covered tables, high-back chairs, lovely shining silver and glassware, as well as imported English china...and of course there were the equally impeccable dressed men waiters...The food was delicious and served in a leisurely fashion. There were English meat pies, seafood, and of course, always 'Roast Beef with Yorkshire Pudding.' And for dessert there was a wide variety, especially of tarts and pastries usually wheeled in on a tea cart, from which you could 'choose your pick.' It was the 'upper-crust atmosphere' they managed to produce, however, which left you with the glorious feeling of 'being somebody' that was the highlight of the occasion, and was such a delightful contrast to the more rough and tumble atmosphere on the American side."
The hotel also had telephones starting from the early 1930s.  In the account of worker in charge of installing them: "In the early thirties the Incola Hotel management decided that telephones should be installed in each room to replace the old wooden push button buzzers used to summon a busboy. When called, the busboy had to climb from one to four floors to ascertain the guest's needs and repeat the trip with the necessary supplies. It did not make for fast service. When the order was given to the Okanagan Telephone Company to go ahead, Cliff Greyell, manager of the Penticton office ordered...one switchboard, 80 telephones, wire and fuse protectors for the incoming trunk lines. My job was to install the telephones in the rooms and different parts of the hotel. The job proved quite an experience for me, especially wiring some of the rooms while the guests were still in the rooms and didn't mind a bit about being interrupted."

Events
Receptions, concerts, and dances were often held in the hotel. Passengers from the train and boats provided business and by 1928, there was lawn bowling on the grounds. During the 1930s, bands and orchestras often performed. The hotel also held events such as Board of Trade and Canadian Club dinners, Gyro, Kiwanis and Rotary luncheons, parties, and weddings, making the hotel the center of community life for decades.

Decline
Decline began in 1948 with the opening of highways that increased Penticton's role as a resort and convention center. Rail business decreased and newer hotels were built. Between 1966 and 1975, the Incola underwent four ownership changes and new extensions and modifications erased the hotel's original appearance. Neglect led to safety hazards, resulting in the fire marshal's order to close the top floor in 1963. Two fires broke out in 1978, leaving a hole in the roof that was not repaired. Broken windows were boarded up and outside walls began to rot due to the absence of drain pipes. By the late 1970s, the premises had become a gathering place for bikers, minors, and regular performances by strippers that destroyed the hotel's reputation. It closed on August 27, 1979, and was demolished in March 1981.

title: Burgstall Gegenpoint

text:
The Gegenpoint Castle Site (German: Burgstall Gegenpoint, also spelled Geggenpoint or Kekenpoint, and even earlier spelled Kekkepiunt, Kekinpiunt or Geckenpoint) is the burgstall or site of a ruined spur castle from the high Middle Ages, which stood about 2 km to the east of Fürstenfeld Abbey in Fürstenfeldbruck, Bavaria, Germany. It was abandoned in the 15th century and its walls were plundered for building materials. Today, only the foundations are visible.

History
The first mention of the name “Kekinpuint” appeared as the name of a settlement on a deed dating from the year 857 CE and means “fenced-in field near a spring”. It is not known what happened to this settlement.

Between 1147 and 1340, the lords of Gegenpoint held court in this castle, but not much is known about them. The Gegenpoints appear to have been ministeriales (German unfree nobles) serving Duke Henry the Lion, and the size of the castle points to a higher status bestowed upon this family by the House of Welf, to which Duke Henry belonged. They gave the nearby city of Fürstenfeldbruk its name and by the 13th century, they owned a large portion of land in the region. The location of their home on the border between the territory of the House of Welf and those of the rapidly growing Wittelsbach family proved to be the castle’s demise however.

After the downfall of the Welf dynasty came the economic ruin of the once-powerful Gegenpoints. This was accentuated by the extreme division of the family’s estate by the childless Heinrich von Gegenpoint. In 1340, his son-in-law sold a large portion of the castle to the nearby Fürstenfeld Abbey, which belonged to the Wittelsbach family. Despite this, the Abbey declined to provide any protection for the castle and eventually allowed it to be torn down.

By the end of the 14th century, the Gegenpoint family had completely disappeared from history.

In 1985, the Historical Society of Fürstenfeldbruck erected a memorial stone and information plaque on the site of the former east entrance.

Former Castle Grounds
According to a deed dated 1306, a tower along with living quarters stood in the ward and a drawbridge lead to the outer ward. The same document mentions another living apartment, a barn, a well, the castle’s chapel, two gardens and the East Gate with its own drawbridge.
The castle’s chapel “St. Nikolaus” outlived the castle, and it was still being used to hold Mass as late as 1775. In 1785, it was finally demolished due to its dilapidated condition. Today, a large wooden cross marks its position.
The Bavarian State Office for the Preservation of Historical Objects records the ruin as a mittelalterlichen Burgstall  (mediaeval castle ruin) with the monument number D 1-7833-0066.

Legends
According to legend, crying children can be heard by pressing an ear to the ground. These are said to be the children of noblewomen who were killed by the mothers.

The 19th century citizens of nearby Emmering claimed to have found a network of tunnels originating in the woods surrounding the castle.

title: Lioré et Olivier LeO 8

text:
The Lioré et Olivier LeO 8, Lioré et Olivier LeO 8-Cau 2 or Lioré et Olivier LeO 8 CAN 2 was a French two seat, parasol wing monoplane night fighter and reconnaissance aircraft, built in 1923.

Design and development
In April 1919 the Direction de l'Aéronautique () initiated an aircraft design programme to replace the World War I machines serving with the Aéronautique Militaire. Several different types were sought, including a two-seat reconnaissance aircraft and night fighter. The Leo 8 was designed to meet this specification.

In the early 1920s French aircraft designers were beginning to appreciate the aerodynamic advantages of thick section wings on monoplanes, particularly their wide speed range even at high wing loadings. The Dewoitine D.1 was the first, followed by the LeO 8. The latter was a metal framed aircraft with a wing of almost rectangular plan and with constant profile, a form that simplified production as all its ribs were identical. The wing tips were slightly blunted and there was a rounded cut-out in its trailing edge for the pilot's head where he sat with the wing at eye level. The wing spars were rectangular duralumin tubes and the ribs were also duralumin. The wings were fabric covered and their outer trailing edges carried narrow chord unbalanced ailerons over half the span.

Wing and fuselage were joined by two parallel pairs of streamlined struts on each side, the members of each pair attached to the forward and rear spars.  The innermost pair connected the wing at about one-third span to the upper fuselage longeron and the outer pair ran from about two-thirds span to an undercarriage extension. Each pair was wire braced and the each outer pair also braced from their midpoints to the upper ends of the inner pair.

The fuselage of the LeO 8 was also built from duralumin, with four rectangularly braced longerons, assisted by internal wire bracing, forming a simple flat sided structure with forward aluminium panels at the front and fabric covering aft. The aluminium covered section included the nose mounted, , twelve-cylinder Renault 12F engine and the underwing region in front of the pilot's open cockpit.  The nose was rounded in plan but not profile.  The engine was liquid cooled by finned, cylindrical Lamblin radiators hung separately below it and had a tall, single, central exhaust above. Fabric covering began at front of the pilot's cockpit; the gunner's cockpit was immediately behind the pilot's and further aft the fuselage tapered to the tail, where a narrow chord, variable incidence tailplane was mounted on its top. All the rear surfaces were aluminium framed and fabric covered. The broad fin and rudder had vertical edges but an angled top; the rudder extended to the bottom of the fuselage, working through a small cut-out in the elevators. The fixed undercarriage of the LeO 8 consisted of a rectangular frame mounted from the lower fuselage longerons by a parallel pair of struts on each side. A pair of single wheels were attached to the frame, which was enclosed in a streamlined fairing of wing-like profile that added  to the wing area. There was a sprung steel skid under the tail.

The rear gunner operated a mounted pair of Lewis guns and provision was made for a pair of fixed, forward firing Vickers machine guns.

Operational history
The LeO 8 made its first flight in January 1923 from Villacoublay. The prototype flew with a machine gun mounted in the rear cockpit but at the time its simple construction, choice of engines, relatively high speed at altitude and a low landing speed suggested civilian as well as military uses. No military order was placed; instead the sole LeO 8 was prepared for an attempt on the altitude record for an aircraft carrying a  load. This was tried in 1925 but ended in a fatal accident.

title: Rudolf Hirth du Frênes

text:
Rudolf Hirth du Frênes (24 July 1846, Gräfentonna, near Gotha - 1 May 1916, Miltenberg) was a German painter.

Life
His father was a notary. Du Frênes was his mother's maiden name, which he adopted for professional use. At the age of fifteen, he enrolled at the Academy of Fine Arts, Nuremberg, where he studied with August von Kreling. Four years later, on the recommendation of his teachers, he transferred to the Academy of Fine Arts Munich and became a pupil of Hermann Anschütz. The following year, he joined a class at the studios of Arthur von Ramberg and worked there until the latter's death in 1875.

While in Ramberg's class, he met Theodor Alt, Johann Sperl and Wilhelm Leibl. In 1869, they came together to share a studio in Munich and formed the core of an artists' group that was later known as the "Leibl-Kreis" (Leibl Circle).

Around 1880, began a lengthy study trip which took him to Holland, Belgium and France where he visited all the major studios, galleries and museums. After five years, he returned to Germany, tied up his affairs in Munich and settled in Dießen am Ammersee.

The influence of Leibl on Hirth's work was substantial. Even when Leibl was influenced by Gustave Courbet that, in turn, influenced Hirth. And, despite Hirth's discovery of Frans Hals and the obvious influence on his work, his paintings after the dissolution of the Leibl-Kreis are generally considered to be less inspired than those done before. For most of his life, he supported himself by painting portraits, which occasionally rise to the quality of his early work. He later moved to Miltenberg, where he died, aged seventy. Many of his works can be seen in the Municipal Museum of Miltenberg.

Friedrich Hirth, the sinologist, and Georg Hirth, the journalist who created Jugend magazine, were his brothers.

title: Sue Sisley

text:
Suzanne A. Sisley is a psychiatrist and former clinical assistant professor at the University of Arizona College of Medicine. She was terminated from her position for her political activity, and her unethical involvement with a recall campaign against Arizona Senator Kimberly Yee in 2014. She is interested in research into potential medical uses of marijuana for profit through securing an FDA patent on its use, along with other natural remedies.

Marijuana research and termination
In March 2014, Sisley's proposal to study marijuana use to treat post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) was approved by the National Institute on Drug Abuse. After working at the University of Arizona for nearly eight years in various capacities, she was fired from the university in June 2014, ostensibly because of "funding and reorganization issues." Sisley, however, claims the firing was because of her interest in studying the potential medical uses of marijuana to treat PTSD. Sisley has also claimed that the university failed to provide a location for the trial to take place, and that the University of Arizona was "fearful of the word 'marijuana' and [did] not want... their brand aligned with this research." After she was terminated, the university released a statement saying that they had "not received political pressure to terminate any employee as has been suggested in some media and other reports."

Sisley has also acknowledged that she is "not sold" on the efficacy of marijuana for this purpose, but she does think cannabis use to treat PTSD has shown enough promise to be studied in a controlled environment. Since leaving the university, Sisley has continued her political activism throughout Arizona, the United States, and internationally - considered by many as a celebrity.

 On July 28, 2014, the University of Arizona denied Sisley's appeal for reinstatement. In April 2016, the Drug Enforcement Administration approved Sisley's study, which is aimed at determining whether marijuana is an effective treatment for PTSD.

Dr. Sisley joined forces with her mother, Dr. Hanna Sisley, a family practice physician to develop a private practice / medical marijuana dispensary called White Mountain Health Center in Sun City, AZ, a suburb of Phoenix, AZ.

Dr. Sisley is currently President of Scottsdale Research Institute & Principal Investigator for FDA-approved randomized controlled trials examining safety/efficacy of smoked marijuana flower for treating pain, post traumatic stress disorder PTSD, and opioid substitution.

Sue is striving to put crucial medically active plants/fungi thru entire FDA drug development process to eventually be available in the market as a safer alternative to synthetic pharmaceuticals. Scottsdale Research Institute in conjunction with their 501(c)(3) arm Field to Healed Foundation is collecting objective data hoping to urge health insurance companies to pay for whole plant botanical medicines similar to conventional pharmaceuticals.
