Eternally Yours
Preview (read now) Add to my own site Give this ebook to a friend Add to my wishlist Author's page Publisher's page
moreEvery ending is a new beginning.
In the first two Immortal Beloved novels, 450-year-old ex-party girl Nastasya Crowe spends five months at River's Edge, a rehab for immortals with troubled pasts. In between uncovering her family's epic magickal history and flirting with Reyn, a heartbreakingly hot Viking wonder boy, Nastasya finally learns that being good is a choice within her power. Just as she's starting to truly change, she discovers that someone is killing immortals around the world and that River's Edge and her new friends may be the next targets.
Armed with her own brand of kick-butt magick, Nastasya joins forces with her immortal friends and teachers as they battle an evil that has plagued the world for much too long. By claiming her heritage, Nastasya fights back against darkness...but can she also fight against true love? Probably not if Reyn has anything to say about it.
With vivid historical flashbacks, stark emotional reckoning, and laugh-out-loud dialogue, the Immortal Beloved trilogy is a fascinating and unique take on what it would mean to live forever.

Minesweeper 1.0
Avoid the mines and win the game
The player is initially presented with a grid of undistinguished squares. Some randomly selected squares, unknown to the player, are designated to contain mines.
Typically, the size of the grid and the number of mines are set in advance by the user, either by entering the numbers or selecting from defined skill levels depending on the implementation.
The game is played by revealing squares of the grid, typically by clicking them with a mouse. If a square containing a mine is revealed, the player loses the game.
Otherwise, a digit is revealed in the square, indicating the number of adjacent squares (typically, out of the possible eight) that contain mines. In typical implementations, if this number is zero then the square appears blank, and the surrounding squares are automatically also revealed.

Man gets prison sentence for sex assault of girl in Plaistow
Ronald Beausoleil, 34, of Haverhill, Mass., was sentenced on Friday to 15 to 30 years in state prison for sexually assaulting a 9-year-old girl at a Wal-Mart store in Plaistow. (JAMES A. KIMBLE)
Beausoleil also pleaded guilty to charges earlier this month that he exposed himself to another young girl at a Wal-Mart in Salem on Sept. 19, 2011.
A psychologist concluded in 2007 that Beausoleil suffered from pedophilia and was sexually attracted to young girls. That conclusion was based on a string of arrests and other incidents that he was never convicted of in Massachusetts, Haggar said.
Delker said he took into account that Beausoleil had twice before undergone sex offender treatment yet still used aliases and changed his appearance from year to year in order to avoid detection while targeting young girls, many of whom were complete strangers.
Delker said he was ordering the highest possible prison sentence along with a court-ordered evaluation for a civil commitment to ensure the maximum amount of protection he could provide to the public.
"He needs to be removed from society," said the father. "He made this happen to countless families in the past. We don't want this to happen to any other families. Who knows who hasn't come forward? Who knows how many other families are out there?"
"I felt the judge made a good call and I am happy with the way it turned out," she email@example.com

Food, fun, dancing, celebrities, comedians. Grossinger's and the Concord. Bring back any memories? The mostly defunct summer resorts of New York's Catskill Mountains were popular vacation spots for Jews from the 1920s up to the 1960s. Anyone longing for the good old days knows the historical importance of these lost times—summer romances, doing the mambo, menus with seven kinds of herring, and comedians who would go on to become world famous. Dubbed the "Borscht Belt," these Catskills resorts are mostly gone now, but the traditions and memories remain. What drew Jews to the Catskills? According to Myrna Katz Frommer, author with her husband Harvey Frommer of the book "It Happened in the Catskills," a Jewish ethos was complemented by a push "to become Americanized.""Thus, golf, tennis [and] other pursuits and styles seen as 'American' became, in the post-war period, the direction more people were following," Myrna told JointMedia News Service.The Borscht Belt—an area described in the Frommers' book as "about 250 square miles, approximately an hour-and-a-half drive northwest of New York City"—attracted tourists since the post-Civil War years, drawing its appeal from its scenic vistas and accessibility from New York City via two railroad lines, the authors noted. Jewish immigrants came up to the Catskills for more than a visit—they looked to settle, to farm, to escape the unhealthy environment of tenement life. Eventually, they did more than escape; they defined the word vacation. Simply put, they knew how to have fun. Jackie Horner, a dance instructor and a consultant on the movie "Dirty Dancing" that starred the late Patrick Swayze, came to Grossinger's in its heyday to teach dances like the mambo. That's where she met her husband, the late Lou Goldstein.Goldstein was a "tummler" at Grossinger's Hotel, and ran most of the resort's daytime activities from 1948 until the facility's closure in 1986. "Tummler" is Yiddish for someone who stirs up tumult or excitement. He passed away on April 2, 2012, at the age of 90."He'd hold absurd exercise classes," Joseph Berger wrote in Goldstein's New York Times obituary. "He'd have a circle of grown men don silly hats and maneuver them onto one another's heads with one hand and without letting the hats tumble to the ground. He'd tell jokes during pauses in a diving exhibition, or tell stories on tours of the Grossinger's grounds and kitchens (one for meat and one for dairy)."Well known for leading groups in Simon Says, Goldstein got to know many celebrities including Jackie Robinson, Yogi Berra, and Rocky Marciano. One of the reasons Grossinger's became so well known was this—Milton Blackstone, Grossinger's public relations man, brought in these celebrities, the who's who of any given era, to mingle with guests.Many unknowns who later became famous worked at the resorts, including Mel Brooks, Danny Kaye, Sid Caesar and Red Buttons (who put in summers as tummlers). Wilt Chamberlain, of NBA basketball fame, was a bellhop at Kutsher's in the 1950s. A few hotels remain open, such as Kutsher's, but the Catskills heyday is long gone."The 40s flourished [in the Borscht Belt], the money was there, and a lot came with their families," Horner told JointMedia News Service. "That went on until the late 70s. In the 80s there were more conventions to fill the hotels during the week but a lot of the family business started falling off in the 90s because the children didn't want to come up anymore. The children always said there was too much food." Horner said the kids now take cruises, and go to Europe or Cancun. "Grandma and grandpa passed away, so it didn't have the same family feeling anymore," she said. Phil Brown knows the Catskills and fondly remembers Horner's visit to speak at the Catskills Institute. He worked in the resorts as a young man and now is a professor at Brown University as well as director of the Catskills Institute, an organization that promotes research and education on the significance of the Catskills for American Jewish life. His books include Catskill Culture: A Mountain Rat's Memories of the Great Jewish Resort Area and In the Catskills: A Century of the Jewish Experience in The Mountains. Even though the push was to become Americanized, the phenomenon that was the Catskills helped Americans learn about Judaism."It was a way to keep traditions while still adapting, not assimilating, but adapting," Brown told JointMedia News Service. "People did want to keep their Jewish culture alive and this was a way to do it. Certainly for the earlier times there were many people who went to the hotels who spoke primarily Yiddish, they only ate kosher, they confronted a world with a lot of anti-Semitism and they couldn't even go to resorts. It was like having an American vacation but with all the Jewish trimmings."Brown said the people running the Catskills resorts came up with the idea of the all-inclusive vacation that cruise ships later copied. "For a lot of people, especially in the early years at the smaller hotels, it was just a place to get a way to, to be in the country," Brown said.Brown explained that in the 1960s, a Jewish migration to Miami and Los Angeles helped bring about the end of the Borscht Belt's heyday."Jews were moving around and becoming much more geographically mobile," he said. "Family structures changed and people were not so tied to their extended families anymore. At the same time the divorce rate changed. By the 1980s and 1990s you also had a lot of intermarriages, so it didn't make so much sense to go to this intensely Jewish community. " At the end of the day, what did the Borscht Belt give to the world?"The essence of the Jewish ethos in all its myriad forms," Myrna Katz Frommer said. "Faith, humor in all its irony and pathos, ambition, romance. Lenny Bruce used to say 'If you live in New York, you're Jewish, even if you aren't.' That applied to the Borscht Belt. In a way, it says it all."

On campus behavioral interview followed by an on site factory tour an executive behavioral interview. Questions were fairly predictable and straightforward. Friendly people. The recruiters responded to all inquires quickly. Factory tour was interesting, some parts of factory were blocked off to tours because of proprietary processes.

Applied online at home, but for some reason it told me I had to finish the application process in the store. I went the next week to complete the application process. I waited for about a week and a half to hear from someone. I ended up calling the store to check the status of my application and was told they will be calling me back within the next week to set up an interview time. I was called back within 5 days to set up an interview, but was asked if I was able to adjust my availability, because on my application I put I was available from 8am to 10:30pm and they needed me to be available from 6:00am. I told them I really couldn't do that, but since I was in a desperate need of a job I said I could do it temporarily. The next week I went in for the interview, my first interview was with the Team Lead for the Flow Team. They just read from a sheet of paper interview questions and I guess gave it a rating. Then I was asked if I could wait and interview with the ETL for a second interview. I waited for 30 minutes. It was the same kind of process and questions from a general interview paper. I was told I had the job and to go meet with HR to finish the paper work. 2 weeks later I started my orientation and training.Interview Questions

Emailed recruiter directly and was contacted shortly thereafter with a list of markets currently with openings. Interview process involved two separate interviews with questions primarily about my experiences. They ask that you answer the questions using the STAR model (situation, task, action, result). I would recommend making a list of situations or experiences beforehand so there isn't too much thinking of situations during the interview.Interview Questions

I applied online at home and got an email about coming in for initial interview. The interview consisted first of a personality test, mostly questions about hypothetical events and what you usually do in various social situations. Then I interviewed with a Team Lead, with questions on what customer service means to me.Interview Questions
Negotiation DetailsMinimum wage seasonal, and was offered eleven cents when I was moved to a permanent position.Accepted OfferPositive ExperienceEasy Interview
- It was a seasonal position, so they were really just trying to get a rough grasp of your demeanor and personality, a quick and dirty understanding of whether you can be trusted in public on your own, and then get you going. I wasn't broad-sided by any of it, but make no jokes: These are not people who are down with any tardiness and you will be drug tested same day. I don't use, so that was no problem, but keep those clocks set fast. Answer Question
- Application Details
I applied online. The process took 3 days – interviewed at Target in March 2014.Interview Details

long and in depth interview. Had to take a online math test prior to on site. After 2 phone interviews I was asked to go to Denton for on site. Interview went well and the people were very friendly. They ended up giving job to a current target employee over me. I understand their reasoning as they stated during the interview they try to hire in house as much as possible.Interview Questions

As straight and forward as you can get. If you have interviewed with other companies, this will be no different. In most cases, you'll be interviewed by two, but mostly three people. Then if you pass, which in most cases(unless you are completely worthless), you will, you sign some more paper work, take the usual drug test, and if you passed that, you get to come in with some other new hires, for orientation to watch some videos and ask some question. Not to much to it.Interview Questions

They ask the basic questions, where have worked, what have you done this situation, and what would you do in this situation. AFter that, a second interview took place with a different supervisor 20 minutes later. Same thing really, except for she had emphasized on the promotion of the Target Red Card.

Wedding vows
Some people believe in love at first sight but for me its love at first thought
Your name has been lying in the bed of my thoughts for so long I'm starting to forget mine
Every time you do so much as hold my hand it's like you're etching your
name deep into my heart
I've noticed since we've been together I've gotten more laugh lines
not because you're funny but because you fill me with so much joy that
I can't help but smile for every waking moment that I think of you
When I say I do it's an abbreviation of I do love you more than life itself
I do want to hold you in my arms forever
I do want to be one with you
Your words are the fuel that keep me going. Some call you my partner
I call you my musician.
Your heart is the bass that keeps time for my melody of love and
together and together we harmonise to the best ballad.
Love is like a bed of roses, it looks so beautiful but the real pain
of emotion comes when you lay on it daily
So I promise that I will hold onto the rose you give me tightly just
so I have the real proof that our love is real and it hurts
With love comes pain and with pain comes something to overcome
And with that gives me a reason to call to your name again
Your name is like the last sweet in the packet, I keep it on the tip
of my tongue hoping every taste bud will get a chance to experience
something so beautiful and eventually give into the temptation of
swallowing, praying you stay within me forever.
I give you this ring as a symbol of my marriage
Endless. Priceless. From me to you.
I am the ring and you are the finger that fills me up.
You are my other half.
You are my all.
I swear to lay my life down at your feet daily, hourly and every
waking second of my life.
I swear to love you as I love myself.
I swear to love you and even when death us do part I swear I will talk
to you daily and lay the rose at your grave
I swear to still love you, when the thorns are still pricking
I am an incomplete puzzle and you complete the perfect picture
Sure we have our chipped corners and scratched surfaces but you know
what I swear ill always consider you as perfect
I swear to love you and I swear our love will endure forever.

Okay, so this past week has been THE BEST WEEK EVER! I don't want to face the music of going home, but alas it will be necessary. Tuesday I went out and bought myself a yukata. It's blue and pretty and I've got the Obi too…which I have no idea how to tie, but that's what youtube is for. Unfortunately I don't have any pictures of me wearing it yet…so you'll have to wait until after next weekend when I go to the yukata festival!
Then it was mostly studying, but Friday after class I went for lunch with a Japanese friend, Yuki, and then I went to Kenbo, which was our cultural experience for the week. Kenbo is a samurai sword dance…and it is AMAZINGLY fun. I want to buy all the things and practice this at home, so hopefully that will be possible because it's real exercise and it's immeasurably fun. So clearly I'd do it every day.
Anyways, the weekend hasn't even started yet, tomorrow morning I'm headed off to Tokyo!

Deze variant heeft een prachtige abrikooskleur en is een warme toevoeging aan mijn interieur. Er zijn verschillende modellen op de markt voor redelijke prijzen (50-250 euro afhankelijk van de staat). Ik vind zelf dit type met de houten leuningen het mooist.

Certain symptoms are valuable; contraction of the visual field can with difficulty or not at all be successfully simulated. Anaesthesia, if the boundary is well defined, may be safely assumed genuine. If anaesthesia is simulated an unexpected painful stimulus will soon detect it. Differences in the skin reflexes in hemianaBsthesia will establish the existence of Downloaded from brain.oxfordjournals.org by guest on January 14, 2011 anaesthesia beyond dispute. A persistent rapid pulse is of posi- tive value, as is probably also an acceleration of the pulse produced by pressure on painful regions. The author thinks that the simulation of one of the more complex forms of trau- matic nervous disorder cannot be successfully maintained through a long medical examination by a skilled neurologist. In fifty consecutive cases of all kinds which he has examined with re- ference to determining the degree of injury and the amount of compensation to be claimed, in only two was simulation probable, and one of these patients was a child.68 YIII.—General Features of Neurasthenia (Lowenfeld). Stigmata of Neurasthenia.—Certain symptoms occur again and again with monotonous regularity in cases of neurasthenia. They are almost constantly present, and form the ground work of the disease or " stigmata," to use Charcot's expression. They are limited in number. Dizziness and pains in the head, inability for mental work, disturbed sleep and irritability of temper cha- racterise the cerebral, pains in the back and weakness in the limbs, the spinal form of neurasthenia. Add to these palpitation, nervous dyspepsia and sexual weakness, and the list of typical symptoms around which others are grouped in varying number is complete. Many symptoms were formerly allotted to hysteria, hypo- chondriasis and melancholia, that later observation has shown to be really due to neurasthenia, and in hypochondriasis a number of neurasthenic symptoms occur which are merely concomitant with the hypochondriacal symptoms and are really due to the accompanying neurasthenia. The author has found in his study of neurasthenia that the symptoms are not only subjective, but 298 CBITICAL DIGEST. that there are a number of objective signs. The complaints and personal history of the patients afford an insight of especial value into their personality. He distinguishes clinically four types of sufferers. Clinical Types.—(1) Those patients who preface their tale by saying that they will make a short statement of their complaints in order not to take up the physician's valuable time. This is the prelude to an account in fullest detail of their medical history from their earliest years. This is Charcot's " Vhomme aux petits papiers." Downloaded from brain.oxfordjournals.org by guest on January 14, 2011 (2) Those who are more reserved, wish the physician to find out for himself what is the matter with them, and have an innate suspicion that their bodily state and nervous symptoms are not in accord; they do not wish to prejudice the physician by un- solicited statements. (3) Those who say that they enjoy absolutely good health except for one symptom, e.g. insomnia. (4) Those who from anxiety or dejection often experience a certain constraint in speaking out to the doctor. Neurasthenia from excessive onanism, from a fall in social position, and traumatic neurasthenia. Intellectual Disturbances.—Intellectual disorders are of three kinds:— (1) In the least severe cerebral exhaustion leads to degrada- tion of intellectual capacity through slight failure of memory, lack of power of attention, and ready fatigue after mental exertion. (2) In more severe cases besides quantitative loss in the intellectual sphere, not only is long-continued mental work impossible, but the general usefulness of the sufferer is impaired. (3) In the most severe cases the capacity for mental work sinks to nil, the sufferer leads a purely vegetative lif e. In practice these three grades pass imperceptibly one into the other. The emotional disturbances are well known. Those in the sphere of will are briefly indecision, dislike of change, but also instability in opinion, neglect to maintain personal honour, or to fulfil a distinct promise, fear of physical discomfort, and the condition described by Mobius as " akinesia algera." The character undergoes deterioration, but Arndt's view of moral insanity in such cases is based on a misconception. Uncontrollable thoughts (Zwangsdenken) divided into uncon- trollable (a) ideas (in the narrower sense); (b) actions; (c) sensa- tions ; and (d) emotions. ON HYSTEBIA. 299 (a) Questionings of cui bone, over the nature of things and the existence of God; fear of mental unsoundness, to be dis- tinguished from the hypochondriacal form ; , syphilophobia, misophobia, " delire du toucher " (admirably described by George Borrow in the character of the literary recluse in " Lavengro"), fear of robbers, of thieves, of fire, &c.; fear that they may be impelled to commit suicide; echolalia, copro- lalia. In many of these cases the mental symptoms predominate over the others, throwing them into the background. (b) Uncontrollable sensations affect chiefly the head and Downloaded from brain.oxfordjournals.org by guest on January 14, 2011 sexual organs. They play an important part in the causation of many cases of agoraphobia. (c) These, in the form of uncontrollable fears or anxiety, constitute a very important class. Such conditions of un- founded irresistible fear or dread are met with in a quarter of the cases. They completely overmaster the patient in the attacks, but are generally confined to one particular set of conditions, and they affect persons to whom in all other cir- cumstances fear is unknown. The best known is the often described agoraphobia; in the worst cases of this affection the patients are unable to leave their homes, but in many the companionship even of a little child, or the fact that another person is walking in front of them, en- ables them to proceed with confidence. There are other dreads too numerous to describe ; we note as of special importance the idea of inability to perform some special action, and especially some public function, which may prevent priests, professors, advocates, or statesmen from carrying on their avocations. There is ever a morbid fear of becoming possessed by one of these dreads. The author describes an " angor nocturnus " in which patients wake up in a state of terror, which lasts from five minutes to half an hour, is attended with shivering and sweating, and followed by great prostration. Feelings of undefined horror, of impending misfortune, " a horror of great darkness" frequently afflict neurasthenics. Various corporeal disturbances such as dimness of vision, pulsation of cephalic arteries, inability to swallow, dryness of the mouth, changes in the respiratory and cardiac rhythms, motor weakness, trembling of the legs or whole body, heavy sweats, retching, desire to urinate or defeecate, may accompany and often follow the psychical troubles, and entail a state of exhaustion which lasts for some time, and render comprehensible the determined avoidance by the patients of the conditions likely to induce an attack. 300 CBITICAIJ DIGEST. Such conditions arising in mentally sound persons from circumstances inadequate to produce them in the healthy may be traced : (1) often to an attack of real illness or of faintness, or qualmishness affecting the patient in church, in court, or in the street, and the dread of a recurrence leading to persistent agora- phobia or similar state; or (2) the first onset may have been a sudden dread of being overtaken by illness during some public function; (3) they may come on suddenly and inexplicably. The surroundings of the attack then become fixed in the memory, and when the patient is again in the same place act as a stimulus Downloaded from brain.oxfordjournals.org by guest on January 14, 2011 to provoke a fresh attack. An auto-suggestion of incapacity, a fear of breaking down thus occurs, and it is important to remember that it may be overcome by another (fresh) suggestion —for instance, if the patient can be made confident that the thing he considers out of his power can be accomplished and that he will not break down. Similar conditions of tearfulness, or want of confidence are probably experienced by nearly everyone at some time in their lives, but they persist and master the neurasthenic because he cannot recognise their groundlessness and throw them off as the healthy man does. In the consideration of these uncontrollable thoughts, actions, and conditions of dread are to be noted : (1) the marked disturbance of the bulbar, and especially of the vasomotor centres. The repeated alterations in the calibre of the vessels in vasomotor disturbances, thus frequently recurring, may lead by interference with cerebral nutrition to psychical disturbance. There is a marked state of abnormal reflex psychic irritability. (2) The resemblance of these neuras- thenic brain conditions to the hypnotic state. (3) Loss of control or lack of will power in neurasthenic patients is important, as it prevents them from resisting the development of these "fixed" or uncontrollable ideas. Some authors have regarded these peculiar mental states as abortive monomanias, or paranoia. The author agrees with Koch who thinks that they cannot be considered as mental disease because they leave the patient untouched in his general mental processes, perceptions and relations with the external world; they dominate but do not falsify his mental processes, and rather hinder than favour the development of a psychosis. The author has found that they are especially frequent and obstinate in cases of hereditary neurasthenia, but in no way confined to these. Vertigo.—Attacks of vertigo with subjective sensations of sinking, staggering, falling, &c, are very common in neurasthenia; ON HYSTKBIA. 301 the more severe attacks are often accompanied by nausea, obscuration of vision, noises in the ears, and pallor. Paroxysmal Btates of mental confusion or stupefaction -with numbness, cold- ness and weakness in one or both extremities on one side of the body also occur. These attacks come on without definite cause, but some are connected with stomach disorders. Subjective Painful Sensations.—Various sensations are felt in the head, of pain, emptiness, opening and shutting, pressure, &c. (cephalic sensations of Gowers). Pain most commonly occurs in the back or sides of the head, sometimes over the eyes, and often Downloaded from brain.oxfordjournals.org by guest on January 14, 2011 as a characteristic feeling of a tight band encircling the head (casque neurasthenique of Charcot). There may be hyperifisthesia of the scalp over the seat of pain. These cephalic sensations occur in 75 per cent, of cases, vary in nature and intensity in different cases and in the same case from time to time. The causes are inherited tendency to neurasthenia, attacks of meningitis in childhood, injuries to the head attended with shock or fright, onanism, alcoholism, and long-continued mental over-exertion. They are much more common than the often described rachialgia or spinal irritation. Spinal pains often alternate with pains in the head; when originating in sexual excess or abuse they are attended with mental states of peculiar anxiety. Sensory disturbance of vision apart from migraine is rare, but feelings of numbness, stiffness, or loss of power in the tongue are not uncommon, generally affect circumscribed parts of it, and may be accompanied by difficulty in speaking. Pains are common in other parts of the body, and may simulate the light- ning pains of tabes dorsalis, but are rarely so intense, and are more fugitive in character, rapidly changing their situation. Further cases of neurasthenia are met with in which there are general neuralgic pains. The common feeling of weakness or weariness in neurasthenia is not due to motor weakness ; it is felt most before the patient stirs. Weariness and muscular weakness are two symptoms of neurasthenia which often occur together, but in the author's opinion are not causally connected. Hyperasthesia.— Hyperaesthesia may be general or affect circumscribed areas of skin. The underlying organs, e.g., breast, testicle, or muscles may be tender to pressure. In traumatic neurasthenia, hypersesthesia and hyperalgesia are common, and may last after the other effects of the accident are gone. Some- times there is increased power of localisation of sensations over the hyperaesthetic areas. In traumatic neuroses Mannkopf's symptom (increased rapidity of pulse on pressure over the tender 302 CEITICAL DIGEST. areas) is sometimes present, but observations are still required to show whether this holds for ordinary cases of neurasthenia. On the other hand anaesthesia is rare, and then only affects small areas of skin; the anaesthesia found in cases of hystero-neuras- thenia is to be attributed to the hysterical element in the case. Attacks retembling Focal Sensory Epilepsy.—The author relates a case of a man, age 50, affected with neurasthenia for twenty years, and who for twelve years had suffered about once a year from attacks in which feelings of pricking or numbness began in the occipital region, and spread over the left side of the head and Downloaded from brain.oxfordjournals.org by guest on January 14, 2011 face to the left arm, left side of the body, penis and left leg; they lasted for three minutes, and were followed by a feeling of weak- ness in the same parts for a quarter to half an hour; examination detected some weakness of the affected parts. The absence of any sign of organic disease, and of any permanent nervous trouble during so long a period shows the functional nature of the attacks. He has met with attacks of similar sensations in other patients limited to one arm or leg, or to the arm and leg on the same side, and often attended with cephalic sensations. The resemblance is very striking to the similar attacks which occur in migraine. Migraine is not a direct symptom of neurasthenia, but the latter has a striking influence on the severity, frequency, and duration of the migrainous attacks, which are aggravated should a condi- tion of neurasthenia supervene in a patient subject to them. In one case the attacks above described, which resembled those of sensory Jacksonian epilepsy, ceased when the neuras- thenic condition improved. Eyes.—Neurasthenic asthenopia, or irritable eye. There is a difficulty of fixation, the object fixed soon becomes indistinct, and if fixation is persisted in, shooting, stabbing, or boring pains in the eye come on. Long standing cases of neurasthenia may suffer from pains during rest or on movement of the eyes, and occasionally from double vision. These visual troubles are not connected with errors of refraction. The author finds that contraction of the visual field rarely occurs apart from asthenopia, and that it is, as a rule, absent in neurasthenia. Charcot disputed the existence of contraction of the field in neurasthenia. Oppenheim attached great importance to it in the diagnosis of the traumatic neurosis, but a number of other observers deny its occurrence in such cases. Wilbrand's* observations, however, which are the latest, correspond with Oppenheim's, and he points out that the divergent opinions may have arisen from different methods of observation. An objective ON HYSTERIA. 303 symptom in the traumatic neuroses is that known as Forster's typus. The essential point in this contraction of the visual field is this, that if an object be brought from the periphery to the centre of the field, it is seen further away from the centre than when it is moved in the contrary direction. The pnpils may show excessive mobility or alternating dilatation and contraction in- dependent of light or accommodation. Inequality is generally transitory, but has been observed to last for eight or ten months in a patient who recovered (there was no sign of organic disease). Motor Disorders.—Difficulty in balancing on one leg, or in Downloaded from brain.oxfordjournals.org by guest on January 14, 2011 standing still with the eyes closed and the feet together has been noted, and. also & pseudo-atoxic gait described. The author has never seen a well-marked ataxic gait in neurasthenia, and con- siders that its description is due to errors of observation. The gait may be unsteady from feelings of vertigo, and neurasthenic patients often deviate to one or the other side in walking, but it is never distinctly ataxic. He thinks loss of power is often largely of sensory origin. Other motor symptoms are a tremor like that of Graves' disease ; fibrillary twitchings of the muscles, especially in the eye muscles, or the tongue ; involuntary short contractions of single muscles or groups of muscles, especially of the thumb muscles, which may be sufficient to move the arm or leg, and prevent sleep or cause a restless condition. The superficial and deep reflexes are as a rule increased. The author emphatically states that the knee-jerk is never lost in neurasthenia; with one or two exceptions, this is the general opinion. Speech.—Disturbance of speech commonly takes the form of paraphasia, inability to recall the appropriate word or phrase, tendency to change or put in a wrong word, e.g., to say good morning instead of good evening. Often the interchanged word has no connection with, or even the opposite meaning to that intended. Spasm of the pharynx or a feeling of stiffness in the tongue may render speech difficult or indistinct. Unimportant words may be rapidly repeated several times without stammer, or there may be stammering. All speech troubles are worse after excitement or over-exertion. Neurasthenia Cordis.—Neurasthenic affections of the heart are frequent, occurring in more than 50 per cent, of cases. The pulse rate in neurasthenia is, as a rule, from 80 to 100 per minute, but may be persistently over 100, with or without attacks of tachycardia, in which it reaches from 180 to 200. These attacks may come on after excitement, overwork, the use 30-i CBTTICAL DIGEST. of coffee, or some error in diet, or without any assignable cause, and are in many cases ushered in by the presence of subjective feelings in the heart, and accompanied by faintness, feeling of impending death, excessive anxiety and necessity of emptying the bladder and bowels. The attack leaves behind it pronounced weakness of the heart, and a condition of general exhaustion, which only disappears after some hours. The author has not met with the severe forms of tachycardia in neurasthenia de- scribed by Bouveret, but does not deny the possibility of their occurrence. These attacks differ from true angina pectoris in Downloaded from brain.oxfordjournals.org by guest on January 14, 2011 the majority of cases in the lesser intensity of the symptoms. Slowness of the pulse (40 or 50 to minute), is only occasionally met with. Very seldom weakness of the heart, as a result of over-strain, anxiety, alcoholism, &c., is so pronounced as to give rise to fears for the patient's life. The patients sometimes suffer from " hyperaesthesia of the heart and vessels," in which they are conscious of the heart labouring, and the blood circulating down to the finger tips. Flushings, blushings, especially of the face, disturbances of vasomotor innervation, lead to temporary or lasting dilatation of vessels. Frequently changes in the temporal arteries, by which they become more prominent and tortuous, are seen in young men of from 20 to 30 years of age. This pre-senile change is to be regarded as a sign of neurasthenia. Nervous Dyspepsia.—Two forms of nervous dyspepsia occur: (1) patients in whom the general nutrition is unaffected; (2) those who waste, lose colour, and show signs of general malnutrition. This difference is by no means solely connected with the duration of the illness. In the mild form there are the usual symptoms of flatulent dyspepsia, the patients do not completely lose appetite, but are afraid to eat for fear of exciting pain. Other troubles, such as interference with heart-beat and respiration may perhaps be referred to pressure from a dilated stomach, but are also in part due to reflex influences on the bulbar centres. In the severe form, the wasting and loss of strength in connec- tion with digestive troubles may go so far as to cause fears for the patient's life. Complete loss of appetite and disgust for food is even more than pain a cause of insufficient nourishment. Further observations are needed to reconcile the conflicting statement as to deficiency or excess of HC1. secretion in the neurasthenic stomach. Mathieu attaches more importance to impaired motility of stomach than to anomalies of secretion, but the subjective pains and discomfort bear no relation to the insufficiency of motor power. ON HYSTEBIA. 305 With regard to intestinal troubles (enteropathies), the chief are excessive production of gas and constipation or diarrhoea. The author enumerates the disturbances of general health, and of the bowels which follow from constipation, and is also in- clined to attribute stomach dyspepsia largely to constipation, because of its preventing the proper emptying of the stomach, and of the relief which is often given by a free purge at the onset. Later in the course of neurasthenia the constipation increases, and spontaneous evacuation of the bowels is lost alto- gether ; they become distended with gas, and later still attacks Downloaded from brain.oxfordjournals.org by guest on January 14, 2011 of diarrhoea from irritation alternate with constipation, and the large intestine passes into a chronic catarrhal condition. The author notices amongst the visceral neuralgias attacks of pains in the liver which resemble biliary colic. There is generally a striking increase of the knee-jerks ; the attacks come on at remarkably regular intervals. In diagnosis, the fact that no inflammatory complications are found after the attacks have occurred for years, is important, and treatment directed to the nervous system is more efficacious than a course at Carlsbad. Urine.—"With regard to the urine the author notes the fre- quent occurrence of phosphaturia and of oxaluria, as dependent on disturbance of the general metabolism; he distinguishes two kinds of oxaluria : the one, in which the crystals are minute and do not give rise to local irritation, the other, in which they are larger and occasion pains or discomfort in perinffium and urethra, with frequent calls to micturition. He thinks no special diagnostic or setiological importance attaches to the presence in the urine of the so-called urethral casts ( Urethralfdden or Tripperfdden) which are made up of a ground substance of mucus with layers of epithelial or round cells in varying proportion, and often contain spermatozoa or oxalate crystals. These casts come from the urethra, or the prostate, and result from chronic urethritis. Sometimes polyuria is met with, lasting for months or years and accompanied by excessive thirst, loss of appetite and symp- toms of nervous dyspepsia. The author thinks thirst is the primary disturbance and polyuria the secondary.1 In three cases of neurasthenia the author has found a trace of albumen in the urine, the amount varying slightly with the patient's general condition. Although it cannot be denied that a slight albumin- nria may be dependent on neurasthenia, this conclusion should only be arrived at after every other cause for the albumen has 1 See paper above on " Hysterical Polyuria." 306 CBITICAL DIGEST. been excluded. In badly nourished anaemic persoDS the albu- minuria may be a consequence of the general condition. The idiosyncrasies so frequently met with in neurasthenia with regard to tea, coffee, tobacco, wine, food, and certain drugs are attributed to auto-suggestion. Clinical Varieties of Neurasthenia.—According to the symp- toms present neurasthenia has been divided into the following groups:—(1) cerebral neurasthenia or cerebrasthenia ; (2) spinal, myelasthenia, spinal irritation; (3) cerebro-spinal or general; (4) cardiac neurasthenia (nervous heart weakness); (5) gastric Downloaded from brain.oxfordjournals.org by guest on January 14, 2011 (nervous dyspepsia); (6) sexual; (7) neuralgic form ; (8) hemi- neurasthenia; (9) hystero-neurasthenia. These numerous divi- sions are to be explained by the fact that few patients complain of all symptoms, one especial group predominating; this • is especially the case in nervous dyspepsia, in sexual and in cardiac neurasthenic conditions. In the latter condition, symptoms of general neurasthenia may be present, but those relating to the heart cause the patient so much anxiety that he forgets to com- plain of his other sufferings. (1) By cerebral or spinal neurasthenia it is not intended to imply that the nervous exhaustion falls solely on the brain or spinal cord ; the connection between the two is so close that, as both clinical and experimental observations show, neither can be affected alone. But in individuals the resistance to morbid influences varies in different centres, so that cases occur in which signs of cerebral or spinal disturbance predominate. In many cases of cerebrasthenia physical condition and muscular strength are unimpaired. In the so-called psychical form the symptoms vary; in a great number of neurasthenics psychical changes (in volition, sensibility, and idea) are present, and these psychical anomalies stand in very varying relation to the signs of general cerebral exhaustion, which latter may be in no proportional intensity to the increased emotional irritability, feeble volition, and hypochondriacal or melancholic conditions present. Marked changes in temper, disposition, and emotional excitability may occur with unimpaired power for mental work and for sleep. Symptoms of loss of control (Ziuaiigsaffehtc) may be absent in cerebrasthenia or be marked whilst the mental symptoms are slight. (2) Myalastlicnia.—Two symptoms predominate : (a) pains in the back ; (b) weakness of the limbs, especially of the legs; they are not necessarily in proportionate relation to each other. Numerous panesthesiae are felt in the legs, spermatic cord, ON HYSTERIA. 307 bladder, and prostate. The author distinguishes the following clinical varieties. (a) Spinal irritation; feelings of stiffness and pressure in the back with pains radiating to the seat, private parts, and limbs. These pains have a very depressing effect, (b) Neuralgic form ; in which pains of lancinating character affect chiefly the ex- tremities, (c) Sexual, (d) Pseudo-ataxic form, (e) Form affect- ing the cervical portion of the cord. (3) In sexual neurasthenia the author lays special stress on the evil influence of masturbation, on account of its frequency, Downloaded from brain.oxfordjournals.org by guest on January 14, 2011 and also because it is often begun at an early age when the cen- tral nervous system is not fully developed. Those cases of neuras- thenia are alone to be considered of sexual origin in which disturbances of the sexual organs are the only, or the predomi- nating, symptoms. Cases of neurasthenia due to these injurious influences do not always take the form of sexual neurasthenia. Cases of sexual origin are divided into : (a) Those in whom the functional disturbances are wholly confined to sexual centres in lumbar cord. Damage to the sexual functions may reach the highest grade without affecting other parts of the central nervous system. In some patients sperma- torrhoea and impotence do not interfere with bodily or mental faculties, whilst in others of neuropathic tendency general dis- orders are entailed. (b) The symptoms of sexual disorder are associated with symptoms of neurasthenic affections of other parts of the nervous system, generally brain and cord. (c) In which sexual disorders come on secondarily to general neurasthenia, e.g., as result of a fever, and increase the nervous exhaustion from causing frequent seminal emissions. An irritable condition of the lumbar cord may, however, have been induced by inheritance or sexual abuses, and be first brought out by the action of a cause entailing general nervous exhaustion. (4) Hereditary Neurasthenia.—According to Beard, a chief characteristic of hereditary neurasthenia is its obstinacy. Levillain divides these cases into three chief varieties :—(a) Neurasthenia complicated by hereditary symptoms (phobias, tics, dSlire du toucher); (b) Neurasthenia, brought about by accidental causes, which develops into hystero-ueurasthenia; (c) Neurasthenia of distinct hereditary origin. (a) The author says that in one group of cases it cannot be shown that the neurasthenic condition arises through an inherited neuropathic tendency. Other causes sufficient to produce it in VOL. x v n . 21 308 CRITICAL DIGEST. those of healthy inheritance are present. In a second group the causes are complicated, and the influence of heredity is not always clear. In a third and very large group the influence of inheritance is manifest, neurasthenia developing under circum- stances insufficient to produce it in the healthy. In a fourth group neurasthenia comes on without any definable reason. These individuals show signs of an abnormal condition of the central nervous system in childhood, such as headache, convul- sions, attacks of migraine, night terrors, and somnambulism. They are often quick intellectually, but break down in an Downloaded from brain.oxfordjournals.org by guest on January 14, 2011 unaccountable manner on any extra strain. Any intercurrent malady leaves behind it an increase of the nervous condition. In the strict sense of the term hereditary neurasthenia should be confined to this last class. There are no pathognomonic signs of hereditary neurasthenia, but uncontrollable ideas and emotions (Zwangvorstellungen and Zwangsaffekte), and the so-called phobias (agoraphobia, &c.) are especially frequent, attain a greater degree than in other cases, and persist after the other symptoms have been removed. Psychical anomalies are also most marked in this form. There is a " circular " or recurrent form in which the same symptoms observe a periodic recurrence, each period lasting for some days. Cause and Prognosis of Neurasthenia.—Neurasthenia has no fixed course on account of the individual variations in the cause of the illness, in the circumstances and mode of life of the patient, and in the treatment adopted. One characteristic is the frequent occurrence of variations in the course of the disease, of remis- sions, of return without assignable reason of symptoms which have disappeared, much to the discouragement of the patient. When this occurs without assignable cause, it should be borne in mind that disturbances of menstruation in women and of the sexual functions in men are apt to be concealed from the physician. This variation in symptoms is especially frequent in hereditary neurasthenia. Neurasthenia does not, with certain exceptions, shorten life, and it interferes with rather than altogether puts a stop to the duties of life. As a rule, the disease responds well to thera- peutic measures, cure, or, at any rate, more or less relief being obtained. The patient's surroundings and mode of life are of most importance in the prognosis. If a man has to continue working day and night for his bread, or is exposed to constant anxiety in his business; if a wife or mother must go on nursing a husband or child in spite of exhausted strength, then the dis- ON HTSTEBIA. 309 order will naturally be increased; if, on the other hand, the patient can be put under better conditions, recovery can be secured. The duration of the illness ia of more importance in prognosis than the degree of nervous exhaustion. Symptoms of short duration are easily cured, and vice versd. As a rule, hereditary neurasthenia is especially obstinate, and a complete cure is alto- gether exceptional, but great improvement is possible. Of most influence in retarding recovery are insomnia, nervous dyspepsia, and nocturnal emissions. Downloaded from brain.oxfordjournals.org by guest on January 14, 2011 There is no proof that organic disease of the nervous system can proceed from neurasthenic conditions, but the commencement of general paralysis often resembles neurasthenia, and here there are two possibilities, either that neurasthenia may lead to changes which pave the way for the further action of alcohol and syphilis on the brain, or that the neurasthenic condition is connected with the commencement of the changes of general paralysis. Not very rarely neurasthenia passes into a psychosis of func- tional character, most frequently into melancholia. Myelasthenia does not give rise to tabes dorsalis; neuras- thenic cardiac disturbances rarely, if ever, lead to actual heart disease, and the attacks of tachycardia are never fatal. Neurasthenia may lead to alcoholism, morphinism, cocain- ism, Ac. On Diagnosis in Neurasthenia.—(1) The patient's statements must never be solely relied upon in diagnosis. A complete pic- ture of the case must be formed out of the patient's antecedent history, the cause and development of his troubles, together with the results of a thorough physical examination. (2) On the mental side of chief importance are failure of capacity in different fields of intellectual work and defective memory, especially for recent events. Special groups of inci- dents may be forgotten, and fictitious events unwittingly substi- tuted for them. Fixed hallucinations do not occur ; uncontroll- able ideas (Zwangvorstellungen) do uot interfere with general mental operations, nor falsify ordinary perceptions, but persist in the mind as a sort of foreign body. (3) Pains in the head are seldom of great intensity or long duration. Percussion tenderness over the head is absent, except in traumatic cases. (4) No persistent paralytic conditions in the limbs ; this is especially true of the facial and oculomotor muscles ; such para- lysis is against the presence of neurasthenia. 310 CRITICAL DIGEST. (5) Persistent alterations in speech are absent. (6) Inequality of pupils is found but with good reaction to- light and accommodation. (7) The knee-jerk is never lost; diminution of knee-jerks is also unusual. (8) That an illness is of neurasthenic character will be the more certain the longer it has lasted without the development of symptoms of organic disease. (9) From another point of view the changing character of neurasthenic symptoms is important, but this point must not be Downloaded from brain.oxfordjournals.org by guest on January 14, 2011 pressed too far for in certain organic diseases the symptoms may vary or disappear, and in neurasthenia some, such as the cephalic sensations, loss of mental capacity, sexual disorder, and nervous dyspepsia are very persistent. A sharp distinction of neuras- thenia from hysteria is not practicable, because the symptoms of the former are so frequently associated in the same patient with those of the latter. There is, however, no difficulty in distin- guishing the symptoms which belong to each neurosis if the so- called hysterical stigmata, e.g., anaesthesias, hemianfflsthesia, paralyses, contractures, different forms of convulsions, attacks of sleep, and hysterogenic zones are borne in mind and their presence sought for. No reliance is to be placed on the often stated inconstancy or fleeting character of hysterical symptoms. IX.—Treatment of Hysteria and Neurasthenia (Lbwenfeld). The general aim of all treatment is of course to remove the cause, but in removing the local disorder which may have pre- ceded for some time the general disturbance of the central nervous system one cannot always relieve the latter, and in many the former is an expression of the general nervous condition. If the changes in the nerve centres which form the basis of neurasthenia and hysteria have, whatever be the original cause, been kept up for some time, the removal of the cause does not insure the return of the centres to the normal state. That depends on the duration of the changes in question, on the con- stitutional powers of resistance of the nervous system, and on the presence or not of an inherited or acquired neuropathic constitu- tion, and takes place if at all only very gradually. In many cases a perfect restoration of the central nervous system to its normal condition is no longer to be attained.

Lil Wayne - How to Love
Artist: Lil Wayne
Producer: Detail, Drum Up
Album: The Carter IV
Avg Rating: 3.6 ( 150 votes )
Prepare for the internet to explode in 5, 4, 3….. When Lil Wayne emerged from Rikers we didn't know how the incarceration would affect his music, but after first single, Six Foot Seven Foot, it seemed like the answer was not much. Weezy going hard over a Bangladesh beat? Yep, that sounds familiar. But after today's release of Carter IV's second single, the acoustic ballad How to Love, the rules have been rewritten. Featuring production by Detail and Drum Up, who combine hand percussion, a slow bass line and the occasional Dream-esque "A!", How to Love is easily the most sentimental we've ever heard the teardrop tattooed rapper, as he croons an (almost) auto-tune ode to a woman who's had everything but a man who could truly touch her heart. We've heard a lot from Wayne over the years, but we've never heard anything like this. I don't need to prompt discussion with this one, just get out of the way and let Booth Nation get to commenting. Have at it people. Regardless, one thing's for sure; it's time to rethink our expectations for what Carter IV will sound like when it drops June 21.
