Act F.A.S.T!

If you think someone may be having a stroke,
act F.A.S.T!

Do this simple test:

* Face: Ask the person to smile. Does one side of the face droop?
* Arms: Ask the person to raise both arms. Does one arm drift downward?
* Speech: Ask the person to repeat a simple sentence. Are the words slurred? Can he/she repeat the sentence correctly?
* Time: If the person shows any of these symptoms, time is important. Call 911 or get to the hospital fast. Brain cells are dying.

To Live, Not Just Survive, Remarkably, Repeat This One Affirmation Every Single Day for the Rest of Your Life The Pursuit of Success

To Live,  Not Just Survive, Remarkably, Repeat This One Affirmation Every Single Day for the Rest of Your Life The Pursuit of Success Because the thought is always parent to the deed. Ask Teddy Roosevelt. Every accomplishment is based on action, not on thought... yet the thought is always father to the deed. Achievement starts with an idea, a perspective, a point of view, and an attitude: the attitude that no matter what, you will do what it takes to reach your goals — and live the life  you  want to live. To do that, here's one affirmation you should repeat at the start of every day. It's referred to as "The Man in the Arena" and is an excerpt from this  1910 Teddy Roosevelt speech . I first heard it on the new television series  The Selection: Special Operations Experiment  that airs on Thursday nights at 10 p.m. on  History . (I also talked to  Ray Care , one of the instructors, about  things you should do if you want to push yourself to g...

John. S.  May have a similar story the hit n run accident tesulted in a lill' brain hemorrhaging in Fdeb 2019 as a result of a kissimmee hit -n- cum and vertigo... A year and a half ago a biopsy was performed, he underwent surgery to remove the 'tumour' in Aug 2020 but has been left with life-changing effects, including 50% blindness, weakness, fatigue, confusion and short term memory problems.. Supposedly in 6 months he will regain what functions seemed lost or weak... And become 99.9% himself again... How long do you live after being diagnosed with brain cancer? Reports of survival rate or life expectancy greater that  five years  (which is considered to be long-term survival) vary from less than about 5% to a high of 86%, no matter what treatment plan is used; recovery (cure) from brain cancer is possible, but realistically, complete recovery does not occur often. We're living on borrowed time The 5-year survival rate for people with a cancerous brain or  CNS tumo...

Passing for Portuguese: One Family’s Struggle with Race and Identity in America

8- autobiographies- you-should-read- at-least-once-dreams of my father - obama Passing for Portuguese: One Family’s Struggle with Race and Identity in America My father’s family came from Cape Verde, a tiny archipelago off the west coast of Africa near Senegal. Cape Verde was part of the Portuguese empire until a bloody fight for freedom initially led by my personal hero, a Rastafari Amilcar Cabral, brought independence to nation in July 1975. Nevertheless, my great grandfather immigrated to the United States from Cape Verde long before Cabral’s revolutionary days. My great grandfather, a carpenter, and great grandmother, a Cape Verdean palm reader and medium, whose family was from Portugal, settled in Nantucket in the early twentieth century. It would be naïve to say that Cape Verdeans found an accepting Massachusetts waiting for them upon their arrival, but the large diasporic community banded together and created an enclave that shielded them from the outside world in...
