Rather than succumb to these forces of negativity, Jal turned his life's challenges into opportunities by utilizing a comprehensive framework he developed around eleven pillars of support. These pillars can be utilized individually or as a unit to help build a durable internal structure that allows anyone to overcome adversity, regain joy and gratitude, and live a life of purpose that enriches the greater community.

Lincoln 3 Complete Works -...

Geoffrey Giuliano

Abraham Lincoln, the 16th President of the United States, led the nation through one of its most challenging periods in history—the American Civil War. Born in a humble log cabin in Kentucky in 1809, Lincoln's journey from a self-educated lawyer to the leader of a divided nation is a testament to his determination, intellect, and moral compass. Lincoln's unwavering commitment to preserving the Union, abolishing slavery, and promoting equality left an enduring legacy that continues to shape the United States to this day.

Lincoln's presidency was marked by the profound challenges of the Civil War, a conflict that threatened to tear the nation apart. His steadfast leadership and strategic vision were crucial in guiding the Union to victory, ultimately preserving the United States as one nation. Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation in 1862, which declared the freedom of enslaved individuals in Confederate territories, was a pivotal moment in the fight against slavery and laid the foundation for the eventual passage of the 13th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which abolished slavery nationwide.

Beyond his impact on the Civil War and the abolition of slavery, Lincoln's legacy extends to his commitment to democratic ideals and the pursuit of equality. His Gettysburg Address, delivered in 1863, is a testament to his eloquence and his belief in the principles of liberty and equality for all Americans. Lincoln's assassination in 1865 cut short his presidency, but his contributions to the nation's history have secured his place as one of America's greatest leaders. His dedication to preserving the Union, his fight for justice, and his profound impact on the course of the nation continue to inspire generations and remind us of the enduring values that define the United States.

Actors and Actresses -...

Kelly Mass

This is a compilation of 4 different titles, which are about the following topics:
1: Charlie Chaplin was, at some point in history, the best paid actor in the world. He was famous for his comedy movies and his humor. He had an extensive career in acting, especially during World War 1, the Great Depression, and World War 2. What a fascinating time period in history to be a movie actor!
2: Marilyn Monroe has been part of the sexual revolution during the mid-20th century. Her influence in the movie industry, as an icon for attractiveness and femininity, have been noticed by hundreds of millions, even after her death. Did Marilyn Monroe have success? Yes. Was her life easy? Not by far. Her failed marriages, early childhood trauma, mood disorder, and some of the struggles with her sexuality, contracts, and Hollywood producers have made her life go up and down so much that I’m sure she would describe some moments as the ultimate bliss and others as a living hell.
3: Elvis Presley is the famous singer who caused so much controversy that he was hated and loved among most of the American people. His sexual moves, his novel way of putting songs together… there was just something about him that attracted the ladies and the media attention at the same time. Elvis didn’t grow up with wealth and fame. In a way, you could say he was living the American dream. However, he was kind of a bad boy as well, facing legal troubles, broken relationships and drug abuse.
4: James Dean was an icon for youth, differences in sexuality, and a successful Hollywood actor who made an impact on society and the American culture. His life was one of confusion and rebellion, but his attractiveness and suave attitude had a charm many could not resist. Some of his best movies got awards and were watched all over the country.

JD Vance and the Future of the...

Frank DeVito

Before 2016, JD Vance was completely unknown to the American public. He 
had a compelling life story: A poor kid from a dysfunctional family in 
Middletown, Ohio, encouraged by the loving support of his grandmother and a 
handful of others within his family and community. He rose from a broken 
home and a broken community, joined the Marines, went to Yale Law School, 
and ended up an elite lawyer working in Silicon Valley with some of the 
richest and smartest people in the world. 
Now, Vance is one of the most powerful and influential Republicans in the 
country. But unlike many politicians, Vance is a public intellectual. Years 
before he ran for public office, Vance was a prolific thinker, writer, and 
speaker, grappling with some of the most important issues that face the 
Republican Party and the nation today. 
Vance has a solid grip on where the Republican Party has come from and 
where it is heading. He sees the various factions and coalitions that make up 
the Party and understands them deeply. As the Republican Party works to 
adapt to the political changes initiated by Trump to truly become the profamily and pro-worker Party of the American middle class, Vance stands alone 
as the most knowledgeable and capable politician to bring the Republican 
Party—and the nation—into the post-Donald Trump world.
