Download or read book Bipolar General written by Gregg F. Martin and published by Naval Institute Press. This book was released on 2023-09-15 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Maj. Gen. Gregg Martin cut a striking figure in the Army: athletic, quick witted, devout, and studious, he was a natural leader. Thanks to his engineering and leadership knowhow, Martin was chosen to lead the thousands of combat engineers who paved the way for 100,000 Army troops to battle their way to Baghdad in 2003. Martin was astonishing to watch as he led this effort, his mind laser focused and body vibrating with energy. He made quick decisions, often anticipating and solving problems before orders came down. Only years later would he learn how the pressure of organizing dozens of simultaneous life-or-death missions each day altered the biochemistry of his brain. Since adolescence he’d had what psychiatrists call a ‘hyperthymic personality’ – an exceptionally positive, energetic, and can-do disposition. But the Iraq War triggered what military and Veterans Administration psychiatrists ultimately diagnosed as late-onset bipolar disorder, a chemical imbalance that sends sufferers whipsawing between grandiose imaginings and suicidal depressions. His increasing erratic behavior led to his forced resignation as president of the National Defense University and ended his military career. Bipolar General offers a candid account of Martin’s personal journey with undiagnosed mental illness as he rose through the ranks of the U.S. Army. The author provides a first-hand look at the various treatments available for bipolar disorder ranging from powerful medications to electroconvulsive therapy. He discusses why his condition went undiagnosed for so long and explores what can be done both within and outside the armed forces to diagnose and treat mental illness. Bipolar General should be of value to those with mental illness and to the communities of family, friends, and caregivers surrounding them.

Download or read book Computational Analysis of the Mammalian Cis regulatory Landscape written by Cory Yuen Fu McLean and published by Stanford University. This book was released on 2011 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Improvements in DNA sequencing technologies have made it possible to determine the genetic makeup of many organisms. Computational analyses of the massive amounts of sequence data available have produced many insights into evolutionary and developmental biology. For example, comparison of the full genome sequences of human and mouse discovered that the majority of functional sequence in the human genome does not code for protein. Much of this functional non-coding sequence appears to act in a regulatory role, dictating the precise tissues and developmental time points in which each protein should be produced. This dissertation describes three major contributions to the computational analysis of regulatory elements. First, I describe the Genomic Regions Enrichment of Annotations Tool (GREAT), a novel statistical method and associated web-based tool developed to infer the biological functions of regulatory elements based on the functions of their putative target genes. I demonstrate its marked improvement over current methods at interpreting functional enrichment signals for a variety of regulatory element types. Next, I discuss a computational methodology developed to identify medium- to large-scale (10-100,000 nucleotide) genomic deletions from whole genome sequences of multiple mammals. Using this methodology, I quantify the dispensability of highly conserved non-coding elements (CNEs) as their likelihood to be deleted in a subset of species. Despite their genomic prevalence and apparent redundancy in function, CNEs are very rarely lost in extant species. Even more surprisingly, there is a very weak relationship between dispensability and nucleotide conservation level. Sequences under purifying selection at moderate levels of nucleotide conservation are lost at a rate similar to those at perfect sequence conservation. Instead, evolutionary resistance to loss is more strongly correlated with depth of sequence homology, as ancient enhancers are more resistant to deletion than ones that arose more recently in evolution. Finally, I present the discovery and analysis of human-specific genomic deletions. By comparing the genome sequences of five species including human and our nearest ape relative, the chimpanzee, I identified 583 regions present in non-human species that contain highly-conserved sequence but are surprisingly deleted in humans. Statistical analyses indicate that these deletions occur preferentially near steroid hormone receptor genes and brain-expressed genes that are known to inhibit proliferation. Experimental results provide particular examples that may have contributed to unique human traits: the loss of an AR enhancer is correlated with the human loss of penile spines and sensory vibrissae, and the loss of a GADD45G enhancer is correlated with the human expansion of the cerebral cortex.

Download or read book Christian Congregational Music written by Dr Carolyn Landau and published by Ashgate Publishing, Ltd.. This book was released on 2013-09-28 with total page 373 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christian Congregational Music explores the role of congregational music in Christian religious experience, examining how musicians and worshippers perform, identify with and experience belief through musical praxis. Contributors from a broad range of fields, including music studies, theology, literature, and cultural anthropology, present interdisciplinary perspectives on a variety of congregational musical styles - from African American gospel music, to evangelical praise and worship music, to Mennonite hymnody - within contemporary Europe and North America. In addressing the themes of performance, identity and experience, the volume explores several topics of interest to a broader humanities and social sciences readership, including the influence of globalization and mass mediation on congregational music style and performance; the use of congregational music to shape multifaceted identities; the role of mass mediated congregational music in shaping transnational communities; and the function of music in embodying and imparting religious belief and knowledge. In demonstrating the complex relationship between ‘traditional’ and ‘contemporary’ sounds and local and global identifications within the practice of congregational music, the plurality of approaches represented in this book, as well as the range of musical repertoires explored, aims to serve as a model for future congregational music scholarship.

Download or read book Manchester unspun written by Andy Spinoza and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2023-02-21 with total page 542 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the end of the 1970s, Manchester seemed to be sliding into the dustbin of history. Today the city is an international destination for culture and sport, and one of the fastest-growing urban regions in Europe. This book offers a first-hand account of what happened in between. Arriving in Manchester as a wide-eyed student in 1979, Andy Spinoza went on to establish the arts magazine City Life before working for the Manchester Evening News and creating his own PR firm. In a forty-year career he has encountered a who’s who of Manchester personalities, from cultural icons such as Tony Wilson to Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson and influential council leaders Sir Richard Leese and Sir Howard Bernstein. His remarkable account traces Manchester’s gradual emergence from its post-industrial malaise, centring on the legendary nightclub the Haçienda and the cultural renaissance it inspired.

Download or read book Robert Lepage on the Toronto Stage written by Jane Koustas and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2016-05-01 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A leader in theatre production for a global community, Robert Lepage - actor, cineaste, and director - revolutionized the Toronto theatre scene from the 1980s onwards by challenging conventional notions of language, identity, and national belonging. Exploring Lepage’s twenty-five-year history on the Toronto stage, Jane Koustas analyzes his importance in the Canadian and international theatre scenes. Outlining the reasons behind Lepage’s success in Toronto, Koustas skilfully engages with a wide range of journalistic and scholarly texts, moving between French and English critical reception of his work. For Lepage, Toronto offered the best of both worlds: he could remain an ardent Quebecer while being welcomed as a fellow Canadian. Lepage, raised in a bilingual family, brought to his Toronto productions an understanding of English and Canadian culture that resisted presenting French against English and the rest of Canada versus Quebec. Instead, he took Toronto audiences on a global theatre voyage that transformed traditional geopolitical, cultural, and linguistic boundaries and questioned identity. Investigating the relationship between Quebec’s master dramaturge and Toronto, a burgeoning cosmopolitan city determined to be a global cultural capital, Robert Lepage on the Toronto Stage analyzes the success of one of the few Québécois artists to have achieved fame in English Canada.

Download or read book Share your Message with the World written by Tony Gambone and published by Balboa Press. This book was released on 2016-01-18 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt:

Share Your Message with the World started out as an idea of how I could get everyone to share his or her stories. Volume I was such a success and the stories were so inspiring that I decided to make Share Your Message with the World a series. I received many e-mails and phone calls from people telling me how inspired and motivated they were reading the stories in Share Your Message with the World. In Volume II, the stories are just as inspirational, educational, and informational.

I am a big believer that no one cares anything about what you’re selling, offering, or providing until they know more about you. This book will tell you the personal journeys of people around the world, how they overcame the struggles of life and stayed focused on the place they were aiming for.

It is true that every day our directions might change, but the one thing that is important is that you stay focused on where you are going to conquer the struggles and recognize the lessons from them. I believe that everyone needs to hear or read someone else’s story to be able to continue through daily struggles. The stories in this book and Volume I are the proof you need to know that you too can make it to the finish line.

Make sure to Share Your Message and learn how you too can help someone through his or her journey of life.
