Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I am both smart and not. I am both a social butterfly on one hand and racked with social anxiety. At 5 years old, I was diagnosed with epilepsy - and only after three long years of numerous medications and hundreds of seizures was I diagnosed with a very rare brain tumor, a Hypothalamic Hamartoma. The removal of my tumor, which instantly stopped my seizures, immediately changed my life and left me with a disability that no one can see but only I can feel and only those very few closest to me can attest to that truth. I have a serious brain injury. My struggles are real - I overcame and continue to overcome.SIERRA CRISLIP is the survivor of a rare brain trauma, Hypothalamic Hamartoma. Despite it, she's gone on to graduate from high school early and obtained employment with the help of a job coach. "Even though you can't see my disability," Sierra says, "I want to put the word out there and help others going through the same thing." Her HH story is on the Hope For Hypothalamic Hamartoma's website. She resides in California.

Download or read book From Berkeley to Berlin written by Tom Francis Ramos and published by Naval Institute Press. This book was released on 2022-02-15 with total page 171 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In November 1960, bolstered by anti-Communist ideologies, John F. Kennedy was elected president of the United States. Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev brandished nuclear diplomacy in an attempt to force the United States to abandon Berlin, setting the stage for a major nuclear confrontation over the fate of West Berlin. From Berkeley to Berlin explores how the United States had the wherewithal to stand up to Khrushchev's attempts to expand Soviet influence around the globe. The story begins when a South Dakotan, Ernest Lawrence, the grandson of Norwegian immigrants, created a laboratory on the Berkeley campus of the University of California. The "Rad Lab" attracted some of the finest talent in America to pursue careers in nuclear physics. When it was discovered that Nazi Germany had the means to build an atomic bomb, Lawrence threw all his energy into waking up the American government to act. Ten years later, when Joseph Stalin's Soviet Union became a nuclear power, Lawrence drove his students to take on the challenge to deter a Communist despot's military ambitions. Their journey was not easy: they had to overcome ridicule over three successive failures, which led to calls to see them, and their laboratory, shut down. At the Nobska Conference in 1956, the Rad Lab physicists took up the daunting challenge to provide the Navy with a warhead for Polaris. The success of the Polaris missile, which could be carried by submarines, was a critical step in establishing nuclear deterrent capability and helped Kennedy stare down Khrushchev during the Berlin Crisis of 1961. Six months after the height of the Berlin Crisis, Kennedy thought about how close the country had come to destruction, and he flew out to Berkeley to meet and thank a small group of Rad Lab physicists for helping the country avert a nuclear war.

Download or read book Killing Love written by Rebecca Poulson and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2015-09-01 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This powerful, unforgettable and uplifting story is one part wrenching family memoir, and one part inspirational journey towards healing and forgiveness – but most of all, it’s an unputdownable journey through one family’s tragedy and how they refused to let it define them. On the day of Rebecca Poulson’s 33rd birthday, her father, niece and nephew were murdered. The murderer had been part of her family; her brother-in-law, Neung, the father of the children. Killing Love is Rebecca’s journey through homicide; grief, the police investigations, the media interest, the court cases, the moments of great despair – and the healing. It is a story of individual tragedy and a family’s strength, but it is also a story of a community’s attitude to family violence. As a reluctant warrior for those who cannot speak for themselves, Rebecca talked to the NSW State Premier and politicians, on multiple TV shows and to print journalists in the hope that the mistakes made by the police force, DOCS, the legal system and solicitors will never be made again. Rebecca’s contact with policy makers has been nothing short of history-making, and her story has directly influenced domestic violence laws in the state. Neung left a note for Rebecca’s family; he hoped that he would destroy them. This is the story of how he didn’t.
