Summary

William Butler Yeats (1865-1939) was an Irish poet, dramatist, writer and initiate, and one of the foremost figures of 20th-century literature. He was a driving force behind the Irish Literary Revival, and along with Lady Gregory founded the Abbey Theatre, serving as its chief during its early years. He was awarded the 1923 Nobel Prize in Literature, and later served two terms as a Senator of the Irish Free State.
The Yeats’ essay The Celtic Element in Literature, written in 1897, was included in 1903 in the collection of Yeats’ non-fiction works and essays Ideas of Good and Evil, published in London by A.H. Bullen. It is one of the masterpieces of literary criticism by the great Irish author and, at the same time, one of the most important studies on the Celtic roots of a substantial part of European literature. In it Yeats not only demonstrates a profound knowledge of the history of literature, but also manages to read and interpret its most hidden secrets through his profound knowledge of symbols and archetypes, derived from his lifelong membership in the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, a secret society dedicated to the study and practice of occult hermeticism and metaphysics.

    Across the United States and around the world, there has been an ongoing resurgence in classical education, including among Catholics. The classical model, rooted in the ancient Socratic method, is flourishing, and classical Catholic schools continue to multiply and grow. But classical education also has its detractors. Some parents and teachers worry that it is impractical, outdated, or, worse, judgmental.       In Know Thyself, Andrew Youngblood, an educator with decades of experience in classical learning as both a student and teacher, introduces readers to this exciting education alternative and its intellectual and spiritual benefits. Youngblood defines the essence of classical Catholic education, explores its integrated and narrative approach to learning, and presents its transformative power and beauty.       Through brief vignettes, personal anecdotes from students and teachers, and examples from the classroom, Know Thyself makes a positive case for an education journey that teaches students to see themselves through God’s eyes—and to truly know themselves and who they are called to be.

    Why is it so difficult to love someone with ADHD? 
Can you no longer cope with your partner’s behavior? 
Does attention deficit disorder strain your romantic relationship? 
  
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder can cause misunderstandings, frustrations and resentments; even in close-knit romantic relationships. 
  
There are lots of couples in which one or both partners have ADHD. All of this can become a dark tunnel with no way out. 
  
If you’re in a relationship with someone who has ADHD: 
·       You may feel tired of taking care of everything on your own and being the only responsible party in the relationship. 
·       You may feel angry and emotionally blocked. Anger and resentment permeate many interactions with the ADHD spouse. 
·       You may feel lonely, ignored and unappreciated. 
·       You don't feel like you can count on your partner. You always have to organize everything to make up for his or her forgetfulness. 
·       You feel frustrated. A non-ADHD spouse might feel as if the same issues keep coming back over and over again. 
·       Sometimes it seems that your partner doesn't care about you. 
·       You feel exhausted and depleted. The non-ADHD spouse carries too many responsibilities and no amount of effort seems to fix the relationship. 
  
You deserve better! 
  
If you would like a book that will help you to finally understand why your spouse acts in certain ways and enables you to make their lives and your own life better, then this book is for you! 
  
The light at the end of the dark tunnel can be found!

    Mission Iran - Special Forces...

    On November 4, 1979, "student" supporters of the Ayatollah seized the U.S. Embassy with over sixty hostages. Although the Cold War was in full swing, the Iran hostage crisis was a watershed for the United States. 
 
 
 
Detachment A had been established in Berlin early in the Cold War to harass and delay any Soviet military advance west. This Special unit trained relentlessly for every aspect of unconventional warfare, and was later assigned a second mission of counterterrorism. 
 
 
 
The plan for Operation Eagle Claw, as it became known, was extremely complex. The first stage was intelligence gathering—no mean feat as most of the CIA's capabilities in the country had been eliminated. With operatives trained in intelligence work, fluent in many languages, and adept at blending in, Det A took on the advanced recon of the targets. Then, when Delta Force admitted that it could only manage the assault of the Embassy, Det A volunteered to rescue the three Americans at the Foreign Ministry. 
 
 
 
Veteran and historian James Stejskal details Det A's unique and integral role in Operation Eagle Claw, based upon firsthand accounts of the operatives involved.
