The post GoodNewsLetter: Earth/Water Day Kick-Off Mars Sea Odyssey, Health & Wellness, Tree Coverage NYC appeared first on Good News!.

The Mars Ocean Analogs® crew is set to embark on a groundbreaking sailing mission this November, departing from New York City on the historic Schooner Anne Starship. Led by veteran sea captain and world record holder Reid Stowe, the team will undertake NYC’s first-ever high seas analog training for aspiring astronauts. This mission, scheduled from November 16 to November 26, will simulate the extreme conditions of danger, high performance, isolation and self-sufficiency that astronauts will face during future missions to Mars.

The link for LIVE STREAM IS at https://youtube.com/live/27zXeipTYsQ?feature=share and www.youtube.com/goodnewsbroadcast, and www.marsoceananalogs.org for details.

The Schooner Anne is the same vessel that Stowe commanded on the longest sea voyage in history, spending 1,152 days continuously at sea without resupply from 2007 to 2010—an unprecedented analog for a journey to Mars. During that voyage, Stowe and his crew navigated far beyond the sight of land, in conditions similar to what astronauts will experience during a three-year mission to Mars.

Why Is This Mission So Critical Now?

As space agencies worldwide accelerate their plans to send humans to Mars, a crucial gap remains in astronaut training. The human mission to Mars and back is expected to take approximately three years, during which astronauts will be isolated in a cramped, high-stakes environment—one that only Reid Stowe has simulated continuously over three years through his record-breaking voyage.

“Mars aspiring trainees must gain experience in the isolated, life-and-death expanse of the high seas to truly prepare for the challenges of a Mars mission,” explains Stowe, Commander of the Schooner Anne. “While billions of dollars are being invested in space technology, extreme astronaut training at sea is being overlooked. The human element is the weak link, and our mission is to strengthen that by offering real-world, high-seas analogs that push both physical and psychological limits.”

A Proven Training Ground

This upcoming mission will be the Mars Ocean Analog team’s fifth high-seas expedition, following four successful voyages that have attracted global media attention and support, including a mission to the SpaceX launch pad near the U.S.-Mexico border.

The Mars Ocean Analogs® crew is inviting select members of the media to meet the captain and crew aboard the Schooner Anne, which has played a pivotal role in advancing human spaceflight training through these Mars analog missions.

Stowe is a serious discovery. He is a natural born mystic whose long voyage seems to have been an extended religious transcendental experience-and what came out of it are paintings that are quite intriguing. They are not classifiable in any certain way. They seem to live in a borderline, exploring between the psychotic and the transcendental, spiritual experience. These works definitely come out of what the psychoanalyst Romain Roland referred to in 1927 as, coincidentally, the “Oceanic Feeling.” They are densely layered and as a body overlap with so many modern concepts in painting.
–Donald Kuspit, Dean of American Art Historians, from article by Peter Falk, Discoveries in American Art

Reid is the ultimate life performance artist.
–Stephen Stux, New York Gallerist

The art world is his current voyage. And besides that, wintry Cape Horn is a ride in an amusement park. –Internationally renown art critic and writer, Anthony Haden Guest , Whatever Floats His Boat

When Jean Paul Basquiat paints your portrait and gives it to you, you remain at sea alone in a 70 ft. schooner you built for 1152 days nonstop without re-supplying, a feat no other human has accomplished. When you create 100 marvelous mixed media paintings on that very voyage while your boat’s integrity is compromised and flipped in high seas, you have earned the right to claim that you have lived an extraordinary life. But even more interesting is how that art reflects that life.
New York City may be a mixed media artist’s dream place. There is junk, ready-mades and just about anything you can think of that can be garnered from its streets to work into a painting. But at sea? You must bring sand and dirt since you will not see land for several years, use sail canvas and sawdust from work done on the boat as well as burned pieces of old paintings and other replacement parts, each having its own worn history, in addition to paint. The undulations of the boat and the course you take all become integral parts of the artwork. But most importantly, the spirits of sea Gods and those unfortunates entombed in Davy Jones locker work to ensure their presence is expressed by influencing the mind and soul. Solitude at sea will inevitably elevate any overworked sailor into a Shaman or Mystic.
Reid’s work can be understood from the point-of-view of artists like Basquiat, whose work was an honest expression of innate, ubiquitous primitiveness. Alone on the ocean, in deep contemplation, sacred truths begin to reveal themselves. His art becomes the chalice that transforms the concept of the Self to action. In the initial visual review of his work, color, form and composition shout abstraction. But upon a second more careful study, a story in puzzle form points the way to divine. Forms are inspired by primitive sea life and rugged, raw land. Untamed images move with innate purpose and order in color only nature could provide. Reid also collaged biographical material such as press clippings and photos into his work, completing the life cycle from the sea to the man. In Reid’s words:
All the treasures and junk incorporated into the art are imbued with the hopes, anguish and love of their own intentions. They were all supposed to have done something to help the missions on the sea succeed. Many did help. Others had high hopes but never made it off the schooner.
Reid also traced images with the course of the schooner, 1000’s of miles in circumference. He created the first GPS art written about in a world wide article in 1999 by the Associated Press and drew the shape of a sea turtle to remind the world of the ancient wisdom of Aesop’s fable of the tortoise and the hare: to go slowly but surely instead of fast and brash as well as a whale the size of the Atlantic itself. So his art also has environmental, conceptual, social and uplifting intent.
When most people think of the process of making art, they think of it as an event—the artist painting in his studio until the piece is completed. But for the rare artist, like Reid, whose art is an integral part of his life, the process does not have a defined beginning and end. Much of what he has created was worked over the course of many years in locations around the world. Each is the end product of years of construction from differing points-of-view and points-in-time. Hockney once said something to the effect that an image is the result of the time it took to make it. That may account for the immediate connection between the viewer and what the painting says back.

His art empowered him to accomplish this historic feat that no other human even attempted. In fact, there are only a few ocean voyagers that have gone over 100 days at sea. What the art gave to Reid in terms of strength, it took from him in terms of empowerment. A painting becomes a holy object that has the power to heal, transform and uplift the viewer. It is rich and deep in many aspects, so it reveals itself to the viewer in different ways over time. Owners of his paintings often say they had the painting for years and never saw this or that; their stories and meanings change with each viewing.
Truth and honesty are the hallmarks of great art. They cannot be taught, they cannot be stolen, and it is in the most arduous of journeys, where survival depends on one’s every action and thought, where no human is allowed a single, serious error that the true spirit emerges in the face of the formidable overpowering sea. Imagine art that can reflect that. That is the art of Reid Stowe.

Reid’s story began well before he and current wife Soanya Ahmad departed from Hoboken, New Jersey on April 21, 2007, sailing together towards the Atlantic on a ship laden with three years worth of food. Their voyage continues to this day. The art is created on dry land with artifacts from boats, ever more meaningful and ever more life sustaining. To date, hundreds of media stories have been written about Reid, many showing Reid with his art as early as 1973. Reid has amassed a huge body of work inspired from his travels around the world. Reid led the first Arts and Cultural Expedition to Antarctica in 1986-87 and was already involved in the art scene in the East Village. As seen from the screenshot below, it sometimes takes greatness to know greatness.

“The Patient Odyssey survey results mirror what I and many of my colleagues are already seeing in our practices – that patients can struggle for many years to identify the cause of their symptoms and to arrive at an appropriate disease management plan”

“This initiative has provided important insights regarding management of RLS/WED, including the fact that patients continue to struggle with identifying treatments that adequately control their symptoms in the long term,” said Georgianna Bell, executive director of the Willis-Ekbom Disease Foundation. “Most RLS/WED patients have the disease for life, so understanding how to navigate disease management considerations in partnership with loved ones and physicians is important. The results of this survey will allow us to develop new resources to facilitate improved outcomes for patients, as well as serve as an important educational tool that helps the greater public understand the serious burden of this disease.”

Participants of the survey included 1,709 RLS/WED patients who are members of the WED Foundation and consisted of 1,194 women and 515 men. The results of the survey showed:

• Almost three in four (73%) of patients reported that they experience symptoms daily
• When asked about their current medication, only 6% of patients believed that their RLS/WED symptoms are completely controlled by their current medication(s)
• Sixty-eight percent of patients said they “strongly agreed” that there is a need for greater physician knowledge and understanding of RLS/WED
• Forty-two percent of patients “agreed” that their healthcare provider does not understand their disease
• Ninety-three percent of patients “agreed” that they wished more effective medications were available to treat RLS/WED

“The Patient Odyssey survey results mirror what I and many of my colleagues are already seeing in our practices – that patients can struggle for many years to identify the cause of their symptoms and to arrive at an appropriate disease management plan,” said Dr. Philip Becker, President, Sleep Medicine Associates of Texas and longtime member of the Medical Advisory Board of the WED Foundation. “This initiative reinforces the need to continue to educate the RLS/WED community and the physicians who treat them. Those with RLS/WED deserve knowledgeable physicians who understand the disease. A proper diagnosis and sustained treatment of RLS/WED can offer benefit to those who suffer through restless days and restless nights.”

The survey was conducted by the WED Foundation and made possible through a corporate sponsorship from XenoPort, Inc. It was distributed to members of the WED Foundation and their spouses/partners via mail and was available online throughout the month of October.

About Restless Legs Syndrome/Willis-Ekbom Disease

RLS/WED affects people of all ages, genders and races. People who have the disease have to move their legs or arms to relieve uncomfortable, sometimes painful sensations. These sensations tend to get worse when the person is at rest, like when sitting or lying down, watching television or taking a long car ride. Because symptoms usually intensify in the evening, they often interfere with the ability to sleep..

While the causes of RLS/WED are not completely understood, several genes have been identified with an increased risk of RLS/WED. Other factors thought to contribute to the disease include iron metabolism and, possibly, abnormalities in the neurotransmitters dopamine and glutamate.

While there is not yet a cure for RLS/WED, treatment is available.

About the WED Foundation

The WED Foundation is dedicated to improving the lives of men, women and children who live with Willis-Ekbom disease. Founded in 1992 as the Restless Legs Syndrome Foundation, the organization’s goals are to increase awareness, improve treatments, and through research, find a cure. The WED Foundation serves healthcare providers, researchers, over 4,000 members, and millions of individuals in the United States and Canada. The WED Foundation has awarded $1.4 million to fund medical research on RLS/WED causes and treatments. For more information, please visit http://www.Willis-Ekbom.org.

About XenoPort

XenoPort, Inc. is a biopharmaceutical company focused on developing and commercializing a portfolio of internally discovered product candidates for the potential treatment of neurological disorders.

Come and join the fun as we celebrate the International Day of Peace on the “Ship of Humanity” commandeered by the Arts Olympus, with the collaboration of Voices of Women Worldwide, Peace Islands Institute, World Peace Prayer Society, and the New York Rotary Club. The evening’s cruise begins with the beat of a Calypso steel band joyfully creating music for passengers as they board. With all on ship, we set sail to witness the dramatic views of the New York City skyline. We serenely pass under the Brooklyn Bridge and then on out to the spectacular bay with the Statue of Liberty so proudly standing. From there it’s on to the waters near the United Nations where a flag raising ceremony takes place in celebration of the International Day of Peace with Ambassadors, Delegates and many members of the UN in attendance. The World Peace Prayer Society’s representative to the UN, in a moment of prayer, will lead a candle lighting ceremony dedicated to the heart breaking loss of so many children caught in war all over the globe. The gifted young Tarumi Violinists, having played the world over including the Vatican, will do a special performance devoted to children that are suffering in so many parts of the world today. The profits from ticket sales go specifically to benefit the Syrian children living in refugee camps. The New York Rotary Club will send out a global appeal to other clubs worldwide to help match the contributions to help the Syrian children.

In these turbulent times it is all the more important that people everywhere come together in support of peaceful solutions to the world’s problems. We hope that you will join our efforts in this festive occasion and celebrate, in this unique way, the International Day of Peace on our “Ship of Humanity.” If you are not able to join us on ship but would like to join us in heart go to our website www.artsolympus.org and make a tax deductible donation today. We thank you.
