  Many believe that the most successful people in the world have mastered the ability to use their minds to attract what they desire. Imagine being able to draw what you want most into your life effortlessly, without having to take direct action. Imagine being able to manifest your goals and desires through the discipline of your thoughts. 
    
  Everything begins with thoughts, which most people don’t fully grasp, as actions are rooted in these ideas. Before diving into the methods that harness the power of the mind, it’s important to ask: What is the subconscious mind? 
    
  The subconscious is a part of the mind that, while not fully conscious, influences a person’s actions and feelings. Some view the subconscious as connected to the spirit or soul, capable of shaping your reality based on the messages it receives from your actions and beliefs. 
    
  If this is true, then it’s crucial to examine your subconscious mind and consider what you truly want. However, this is easier said than done. The complexities of life and the mix of positive and negative experiences make it difficult to control what is fed to the subconscious mind.

  Stonewall Brigade and Hood’s...

  The Stonewall Brigade went on to fight in every major battle in the Eastern theater of the American Civil War, to the extent that of the 6,000 men who fought with the brigade over the course of four years, less than 200 remained by the time General Robert E. Lee surrendered at Appomattox Courthouse on April 9, 1865. They were organized, trained, and mentored by one of the most revered military leaders in American history, and they made a decisive impact on battles like First Manassas, the 1862 Valley Campaign, and Chancellorsville. The brigade was virtually a spent force by the end of the Battle of Spotsylvania Courthouse in May 1864, which took place nearly a year after Stonewall Jackson himself had been mortally wounded at Chancellorsville. 
  Organized in Richmond, Virginia on October 22, 1861, Hood’s Texas Brigade was one of the most formidable fighting forces of the Confederate States during the American Civil War. At times undisciplined, the men who comprised this brigade were a group of fearless and determined volunteers-turned-soldiers. Over the course of the Civil War, the Texas Brigade engaged over 4,000 men and was comprised of the only Texans to fight with General Robert E. Lee’s Army of Northern Virginia in the Eastern Theater. With the exception of Chancellorsville, these men fought in every major battle in the East, and they also participated in significant battles in the Western Theater. Of the more than 4,000 men who fought with the brigade over the course of the war, approximately 600 remained to surrender at Appomattox. The brigade suffered a horrific casualty rate of sixty-one percent and were lauded for their courage by men such as generals Thomas “Stonewall” Jackson, James Longstreet, and Lee.

  Roman Innovations - Engineering...

  Roman engineering formed the bedrock upon which the Roman Empire’s power and prosperity were built. The Romans, known for their advanced construction techniques, utilized a deep understanding of engineering principles to create infrastructure that stood the test of time. The strategic use of roads, bridges, and construction materials allowed them to expand and maintain control over their vast empire. Roman innovations not only provided practical solutions to everyday challenges but also played a pivotal role in shaping the empire’s military, economic, and social systems. 
  The Romans’ extensive network of roads was one of the cornerstones of their engineering achievements. Roads connected distant regions of the empire, facilitating trade, communication, and the rapid movement of the Roman military. These roads were engineered with precision, employing layers of different materials to ensure durability and effectiveness in various terrains. The roads, often straight and well-maintained, allowed the Roman legions to travel efficiently and helped bind together the sprawling empire. 
  Roman construction materials were key to their engineering marvels. One of the most significant Roman innovations was the development of concrete, a material that enabled the Romans to build large, durable structures such as aqueducts, bridges, and amphitheaters. Roman concrete, made from a mixture of volcanic ash, lime, and seawater, was stronger and more water-resistant than earlier forms of concrete. This breakthrough allowed for the creation of monumental structures, such as the Colosseum and the Pantheon, that could withstand the test of time and the elements.

  Ireland - Historical Background...

  This is a combo of two titles, which are about the following topics: 
  The Partition of Ireland: The Federal government of the U.K. of Great Britain and Ireland segmented Ireland into 2 independent polities: Northern Ireland and Southern Ireland. The government of Ireland Act 1920 was handed down May third, 1921. Both parts were to stay inside the UK, and the Act included arrangements for supreme reunification. 
  Northern Ireland was established with a devolved federal government and stayed a part of the U.K. Most occupants of Southern Ireland didn't recognize the self-proclaimed Irish Republic, choosing to recognize the larger Northern Ireland. The area of Southern Ireland withdrew from the U.K. and ended up being the Irish Free State, which is today the Republic of Ireland, following the Anglo-Irish Treaty. 
  The Irish Potato Famine: The year 1847, at times called "Black '47," was the absolute worst year of the period. Around 1 million people died and over a million left the nation throughout the Great Cravings, triggering the nation's population to come by 20% to 25%, with certain cities coming by as much as 67 percent between 1841 and 1851. And between the years 1845 and 1855, about 2.1 million people were leaving Ireland, primarily aboard package ships but also on steamboats and barks. This actually made it one of the biggest mass migrations from a single isle in all of history. 
  Let’s explore this tragic event in history, and let’s see what led up to this, what happened afterwards, and how historians look at it now.

  "Falling in love usually happens when you least expect it. But love isn't the only thing that happens without warning." 
  Lexi saw him for the first time in the fourth-floor pediatric cancer clinic. He was tall, handsome, and had a full head of dark hair-nothing like the little kids she was used to meeting during her routine hospital visits. No, Ricky was wholly unexpected. He stared at her, mesmerized by her stunning blue eyes. She looked at him carefully, wondering what his motivation for hanging out in a cancer clinic could be. He smiled confidently, unbothered by her bald scalp. Lexi softly returned the smile. Neither of them aware how this moment would entwine them forever. 
  In a beautiful and heartwarming true story, author Emily Gould weaves the narrative of her daughter's incredible life. The story of Lexi and Ricky begins with a chance meeting but grows into a perfect tale of real teenage romance, the good and the ugly of cancer treatments, and the inspiring power of love overcoming all odds.
