Sinopsis

The Pensées (Thoughts) is a collection of fragments written by the French 17th-century philosopher and mathematician Blaise Pascal. Pascal's religious conversion led him into a life of asceticism, and the Pensées was in many ways his life's work. It represented Pascal's defense of the Christian religion, and the concept of "Pascal's wager" stems from a portion of this work.

Blaise Pascal (19 June 1623 – 19 August 1662) was a French mathematician, physicist, inventor, philosopher, and Catholic writer.

    A Legacy to Remember: Recollections of a Common Man is the story of a man who rose above all odds stacked against him. The Great Depression, divorced parents, living in poverty, World War II, the death of a child, divorce, etc.—commonly known occurrences many individuals in American history have faced. Many people would have been bitter having lived through such tragedies. But not Duard Vinson Gillum! He not only survived but he thrived through his faith in God to become a wonderful family man with a successful career in the aeronautics industry, even working on the Apollo moon landing project and the space shuttle project. 
     
    This biography follows Tiny’s autobiography, Recollections of a Common Man (Xlibris, 2011), self-published before his death with a final chapter and additional photos documenting Mr. Gillum’s life. 
     
    Reared in Ashland, KY, during the Great Depression, Mr. Gillum's extended family of 11 occupied a three-room shack located next to the city dump. After the Depression, his family experienced the Great Flood of 1937, where many locales along the Ohio River, including Ashland, faced much devastation. When WWII started he had only completed a ninth-grade education before joining the navy, lying about his age. 
     
    Following his honorable discharge from the navy after WWII ended, with only his ninth-grade education, Mr. Gillum became a well-accomplished career man in the aeronautics field while also volunteering in his community as a baseball coach for 18 years; that also included coaching his son. 
     
    Referring to Mr. Gillum as a mere survivor is an understatement, to say the least. He thrived in the midst of adversity to overcome much tragedy while maintaining an optimistic attitude that reflected to others around him. No doubt Mr. Gillum touched a lot of lives. He also left a lot of life lessons that many individuals in today's society will glean from listening to A Legacy to Remember: Recollections of a Common Man.

    What is really happening in your brain when you use your phone, and how to harness it. 
     
    Humans are often fearful of the day the world will be ruled by machines, but have they not already taken over? The average person spends 4-5 hours a day on their phone, about a third of the time they are awake. We self-interrupt our work and social lives, forgo sleep, procrastinate important tasks and opt for digital distraction when we're bored or feel uncomfortable. 
     
    NHS neurology doctor and neuroscientist Faye Begeti describes what is happening in our brain when we use our phones and why we have formed so many fixed and negative habits around them. She reflects on both deliberate choices and automatic behaviours, whilst also challenging myths around digital 'addiction', how dopamine actually works and the harmfulness of blue light. 
     
    Rather than recommending a quick fix digital diet, or total abstinence - unviable for most people - The Phone Fix offers a practical guide, based on neuroscientific techniques, on building supportive digital habits. Technology is not inherently bad or frightening and by better understanding what is happening in our brains, we can replenish our willpower and improve our focus, forming a healthier relationship with our phones ¬- and therefore the real people around us.
