Sinopse

Visit a Louisiana landmark that tells a big piece of the American story.Fort Jesup was founded two centuries ago, a bulwark on the youthful nation's western frontier. During its long run as a military post, it was visited by over one thousand soldiers and officers, many of whom would make a lasting impact on American history. The long list of luminaries includes Presidents Zachary Taylor and Ulysses S. Grant, over forty officers who would become Civil War generals, and two Surgeons General, one of whom would treat Abraham Lincoln after he was shot. Thousands of settlers also passed through on their way to Texas, using the fort as a waypoint on their journey. As citadel and stopping post, Fort Jesup played a critical role during the nation's formative years. Author Scott DeBose shares the sprawling story of this Louisiana icon.

    ADHD and Impulsivity - For individuals with ADHD, impulsivity is not merely a matter of poor decision-making—it is deeply rooted in the neurological underpinnings of the condition. The brain’s inability to regulate certain executive functions, such as impulse control, makes it harder for individuals to pause and think before acting. This can result in a range of consequences, from minor mishaps to more significant interpersonal or professional challenges. However, understanding the science behind impulsivity is only part of the equation. Recognizing how these impulses affect daily life and learning how to manage them is crucial for building a healthier, more balanced existence. 
    ADHD in School - In the classroom setting, ADHD can present a variety of challenges for both students and educators. Children with ADHD often struggle to stay focused on tasks, follow instructions, and maintain organizational systems. Their difficulty with impulse control can lead to frequent interruptions, inappropriate behaviors, and challenges in completing assignments. These behaviors are often misinterpreted as laziness, defiance, or a lack of intelligence, leading to frustration and misunderstanding for both the student and teacher.

    In the 1880s, Freud discovered cocaine and became enthusiastic about what was not yet considered a party drug. Favoring the use of cocaine in the treatment of neurasthenia, as an energizer, or as an anesthetic, Freud made a creative and fashionable use of it, heralding practices that our society knows well. Several surprising texts are gathered here on cocaine. Freud recounts the use of coca in history, particularly in South America, from where it was imported. In Cocaine Addiction and Cocaine Phobia, the inventor of psychoanalysis defended coca against its accusers as a dangerous product. Finally, in the letters to Martha Bernays, his future wife, we discover an intimate and loving Freud, telling how he escaped boring dinners thanks to his dear magic substance.

    As you age, you may find yourself worrying about your memory. Where did I put those car keys? What time was my appointment? What was her name again? With more than 41 million Americans over the age of 65 in the United States, the question becomes how much (or, perhaps, what type) of memory loss is to be expected as one gets older and what should trigger a visit to the doctor. 
     
     
     
    Seven Steps to Managing Your Aging Memory addresses these key concerns and more, such as: 
     
     
     
    ● What are the signs that suggest your memory problems are more than just part of normal aging? 
     
     
     
    ● Is it normal to have concerns about your memory? 
     
     
     
    ● What are the markers of mild cognitive impairment, dementia, Alzheimer's, and other brain diseases? 
     
     
     
    ● How should you talk about your memory concerns to your doctor? What should your doctor do to evaluate your memory? 
     
     
     
    ● Which healthcare professional(s) should you see? What medicines, alternative therapies, diets, and exercises actually work to improve your memory? What other resources are available when dealing with memory loss?

    Magnet Ass and the Stone-Cold Truck Hunters is a Vietnam war memoir about Captain Alan "Magnet Ass" Milacek, the "man who flew his plane on one wing". It is a war story. But it is also not a war story. It has everything to do with a white-hot mission over the Plain of Jars in 1970, for which 10 men earned The Mackay Trophy, one of history's most coveted aviation awards - and at the same time, it has nothing to do with any of that at all.Magnet Ass is gritty and it is holy, sometimes full of shit and shrapnel - and at other times as demure as a duck flying over a pond in the dead of winter. Flashing between 1970 Asia and present day Oklahoma, Magnet Ass is poignantly written, meticulously researched, and narratively gripping. This incredible moment in the annals of air force history becomes a story about the power of kindness, courage, and tenacity in the face of uncertainty and fear. It becomes the story of two men pondering the past and finding themselves not only in remembering, but in relationship. Magnet Ass is at once a potent war story, a lushly written memoir, and a tale of the power of the everyday impossible, which any of us can strive to achieve.
