The Dusk of a Tragedy & it's Reality of PTSD


 








by C. Henry Adams


C. Henry Adams would like to extend his condolences to the Family of Nathaniel T. Cope, 31, of Hiram, Georgia who passed away. Prayers of healing goes out to the other driver and all people who witness this accident.

On Thursday, July 26th 2024,  I decided to take a walk to a local store called, " Dollar General " from the Subdivision.  While walking down this road toward an intersection, I heard a sound like that of a " boom " or collision.  Then, looking down the road as I approach the point at which two things intersect...  There with others, I witness in the dusk of the day, a tragedy which resulted in the death of a motorcyclist.

According to the Mayo Clinic on the Internet. https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/post-traumatic-stress-disorder/symptoms-causes/syc-20355967;

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a mental health condition that's triggered by a terrifying event — either experiencing it or witnessing it. Symptoms may include flashbacks, nightmares and severe anxiety, as well as uncontrollable thoughts about the event.

The death of the motorcyclist occurred minutes prior to myself appearing in the Dollar General store. I took a picture of the receipt to show as proof that I was near that area.

I share this experience and ordeal in an attempt to help heal myself and others who could possibly relate to experiencing Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Why?  Well, I know now that it is important to try & do these things:

1)  Stop thinking negative thoughts about yourself, other people in the World when you encounter a surreal event that could likely cause Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
2)  Have hope for the your future & other people futures.
3)  Talk to a close friend, close family member & or licensed mental health professional or Doctor.
4)  The surreal event will likely place you into shock;  keep moving forward literally and figuratively. 

According to the Mayo Clinic on the Internet. https://www.mayoclinic.org/first-aid/first-aid-shock/basics/art-20056620;

Shock is a critical condition brought on by the sudden drop in blood flow through the body. Shock may result from trauma, heatstroke, blood loss or an allergic reaction. It also may result from severe infection, poisoning, severe burns or other causes.

Shock keeps organs from getting enough blood or oxygen. If shock is not treated, it can lead to permanent organ damage or even death.

UPDATE  7/28/24  10:08 EST:

After further thought, I realize that a number of people pass through that intersection and likely witness that incident which could have caused Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).  Perhaps,  it is time that the United States of America developed a Mental Health Team of 1st Responders.

So, what are your thoughts?   Please make a comment via  voice mail or text message.

Call or text message us @ (404) 348- 8319

Please continue to stay safe and be blessed.

Hey C. Henry! I thought you said that you were Homeless?






















by C. Henry Adams


My Reply to the question asked...

Overcoming homelessness is a task in itself.  I can only speak for myself, reference information and places to seek help.  But, in all of your doing, may I suggest that you put God 1st through prayer.

Don't believe in God, huh?   Well, I can not fault you for what you do not believe in.

May I suggest that you consider thinking positive.  For instance, think that life will be better for yourself & family, if they share homelessness with you.

Do not give up, give in or give out on LIFE.    

Encourage and develop ' Plans of Actions '  in your mind 1st, then implement them in your life.

Examples of creating a plan of action if you are living outside:

1)  (Plan A)  Identify your belongings and keep them close to yourself. 

Example of belongings: 

* Social Security Card

* Driver's License - (Up to Date or Expired)

* Military ID Tag  

* DD214 

* Library Card - (Up to Date or Expired)

2)  (Plan B)  Seek a place to stay for a short period of time to seek help from homelessness. Make up in your mind that staying there is not the answer for long periods of time. 

3)  (Plan C) Seek or go find a job to work.  It is just a step to doing better in life.

4)  (Plan D) Do you drink alcohol or do drugs to get high? If you stated, yes - seek help to control or better yet stop the usage.   Sometimes attending a religious organization or community group could help.

5)  (Plan E) How do you feel?  Examine yourself and then consider asking a close friend or family member that you trust to tell you about you?  If you need help, seek a licensed medical or psychology professional to help you.

6)  (Plan F)  Dream the impossible dream & live. Sometimes, it is good to keep your dreams written down and quietly away from other people eyes.  Do this with Plan A, Plan B, Plan C, Plan D, Plan E, & Plan F.

As the Sunsets, John Leland McCrae is in the West


 


by C. Henry Adams


When talking of this Brother,  I am thankful for his guidance as a Man,  a US Marine, a Mason and Christian. There are many definitions of the word 'secret'. The one that stands out in my mind regarding this Mentor's Guidance is this... " a valid but not commonly known or recognized method of achieving or maintaining something. "  ("the secret of a happy marriage is compromise").

God said , "Be fruitful and multiple." Brother John McCrae is a Husband, Father, Grandfather, & Great Grandfather. "  He has managed many gardens or landscapes in his lifetime.  He has actually fed many people literally in his lifetime.  Liken there was a time in Albany, Georgia, whereas, drove a convoy of people from Dekalb County, Georgia to a neighborhood in Albany, Georgia to set up a massive grill to feed  neighbors, first responders and many people alike.

Well done thy good and faithful servant.  We will see you again.  May God bless you at rest.  May God bless your wife, son, daughters, grand children, great grand children, extended family and friends.

The Significance of James Oglethorpe, Father of Georgia prior to the American Revolutionary War

 







by C. Henry Adams

On Wednesday, February 14th 2024, I had the opportunity to visit Oglethorpe University with a business colleague - ( Dr. Elie Kabwende) to hear the lecture of Dekalb County CEO, Michael L. Thurmond.  On this date, Oglethorpe University presented Oglethorpe Day.



"Oglethorpe Day honors our university's namesake, James Edward Oglethorpe. Held in February, Oglethorpe Day commemorates the anniversary of General Oglethorpe's arrival in the new world in Savannah, Ga. Each year the festivities begin with the exciting Petrels of Fire race."

Quote from:
https://oglethorpe.edu/life/legends-traditions/oglethorpeday/

Dekalb County CEO, Michael L. Thurmond lecture was regarding the founder, 

" James Oglethorpe on February 12, 1733, the Georgia colony that he envisioned as a unique social welfare experiment. Administered by twenty-one original trustees, the Georgia Plan offered England’s “worthy poor” and persecuted Christians an opportunity to achieve financial security in the New World by exporting goods produced on small farms. Most significantly, Oglethorpe and his fellow Trustees were convinced that economic vitality could not be achieved through the exploitation of enslaved Black laborers."

Through Michael L. Thurmond years of research, he uncovers that Oglethorpe's evolution from slave trader to abolitionist was possibly influenced by his relationships with two black men; Ayuba Suleiman Diallo and Olaudah Equiano. 

Dekalb County CEO, Michael L. Thurmond is a politician, attorney, author, historian, husband and father. His experience extends throughout his life from Paine College, the University of South Carolina School of Law, the Georgia General Assembly to the Labor Commissioner of Georgia and now the the Chief Executive Officer of DeKalb County, Georgia.

It was an enlightening surprise to learn about the Founder of Georgia - James Oglethorpe.

Hey, I'm Homeless - Why Discriminate Against Me?

 


by C. Henry Adams

In June of 2023,  I was working for Briggs and Stratton - Advanced Battery Manufacturing, when I decided to make one of those life changing decisions and retire.  Perhaps, to some people, my decision was irrational and a bit mentally ill.  After all, who in their right mind would leave a $38,000.00 USD a year job (Not a Career)  to pursue an American Dream to be a business owner?  To some people, the thought, the action, the re-action and counter moves that one will experience could be considered insane.

But, what if your Plan A  (Adams Henry Christopher Contracting, LLC ) did not quite work after making the above decision?

Then, your Plan B  ( CHAAS, LLC ) did not quite work as well.

Then,  Plan C  ( Global Relief and Rescue Community, Inc ) did not quite work .

Then,  Plan D  ( HASPS ) did not quite work.

Finally, Plan E  ( Neighbors Nephew Landscaping Services LLC ) did not quite work, too.

So, what do one do?

If , the late Marion Lewis Adams, Sr. was alive; he would have advised myself to take what did work to form a business plan to resolve the solution.


Sometimes, this task is not easy to accomplish.  Fore, it might require one to truly humble themselves.

"A vulnerable population experiencing homelessness not only experience personal and economic hardship, but they also face discrimination and exclusion because of their housing status.

Although past research has shown that identifying with multiple groups can buffer against the negative consequences of discrimination on well-being, it remains to be seen whether such strategies protect well-being of people who are homeless. "

PMID: 26082741

Discrimination and well-being amongst the homeless: the role of multiple group membership


Therefore, the only way that I could learn to better myself was to merely humble myself.

I put aside the pride to accept prayers and  have truly tried for two years to learn unconditional love.

Hey, I'm homeless.  So, why discriminate against me when I get hungry?  So, why discriminate against me when I have no place of my own to sleep?  So, why discriminate against me when I have no job paying me enough to sustain above $14,580 or https://www.healthcare.gov/glossary/federal-poverty-level-fpl/  ?

Sometimes, to understand people, things or even situations, one would have to experience them.

Own Up to Your Mistakes!

 



by C. Henry Adams



Just a thought.  Should you tell a lie?  In my professional opinion, the answer is NO. It is said that former U.S. President (Donald Trump) incited a riot when he got many people to believe a lie.

Why?  Likely, because he did not accept the fact he lost a federal election to be the U.S. President, a second term.  He did not own up to his mistakes.  Own up means admit or confess.

On Sunday, January 14th 2024, District Attorney Fani Willis of Fulton County in the State of Georgia
own up to the fact that she was not perfect.  She gave a speech based on a letter she wrote to God.  She shared it with the congregation at  Big Bethel AME Church in Atlanta, Georgia.

Counteracting Identity Theft Was Our Start, What Now?

 





by C. Henry Adams


It's Saturday January 6th 2024,  in the south eastern part of the United States of America, where I am currently located; Winter started December 21st 2023 and is scheduled to run through March 24th 2024.

I can hear in my mind someone saying,  ' OK, thanks I could have asked my AI (artificial intelligence) machine that question, like you did C. Henry Adams. '

Well today in technology, fake Data or Synthetic Data is one of two topics of discussion.  The other is FinCEN and the U. S. Treasury Department tracking your business money.

Which is leading us here at C. Henry Adams Blogs to diversification and after 15 years of trying to write something that was suppose to be entertaining, yet very educational.

Perhaps, counteracting Identity Theft should lead to the diversification of various types of  Blog Writers in Technology &  Beyond!  With additional bloggers performing these tasks on C. Henry Adams Blogs, that would be a great idea in 2024.   If you are interested in this challenge...

Trust ( Faith), Expectation (Hope) & Love





 by C. Henry Adams


As we end the year of 2023, Trust, Expectation & Love continues to play an important role in our daily lives on this Earth.  It seems even in our worst of times, as well as, our best of times; those three words exist.  Some know Trust can mean having Faith.  Others might know that Expectation yields to Hope.  Just having Love for a person or people in general means more than we can ever dream. But, did you ever imagine possessing these three things could exude super natural power?


Well, I trust that you are well or become well in 2024.  I expect nothing, but the best for you and yours. And with Love, may peace be with you all in the New Year!

There are No Big " I " s or little old " U " s, fore ALL are on the same level

 




by C. Henry Adams



On one of my now many morning walks, I looked up to see the Moon in the distance sky.  It's reflection of light off the Closest Star which is our Sun that we can watch here on Earth got me to thinking how beautiful life is; that is - if you make it regardless of your circumstances.

Because, just when 'some people' not all of them, write you off.  God, excuse me, Our God will awake you to see, yet another day.  So, just knowing that, I or you will not be without things.

There are no Big "  I  " s  or little old  " U " s, fore ALL are on the same level.  Now, I wonder where I heard that humbling saying from?

Your PadSplit Membership Has Been Terminated





By C. Henry Adams



Poverty is said to be the state of one who lacks a usual or socially acceptable amount of money or material possessions. Poverty is said to exist when people lack the means to satisfy their basic needs. In this context, the identification of poor people first requires a determination of what constitutes basic needs.  This was quoted just two days ago  (12/23/23/) ago and found via Google Search Engine in 0.42 seconds.  URL:  ( http://tinyurl.com/ykt2e9zx )  Note: URL link may not work.

Your PadSplit Membership Has Been Terminated.  Today (12/25/23),  I ( C. Henry Adams ) am impoverished.  I recently discovered in the morning hours of Christmas Day that I had been evicted from a room of a house I will not disclose - for failing to pay $20.00 USD.   This is a very real reality for me and thousands to millions of people around the World -  " Homelessness ".

If you have read about me here: (http://tinyurl.com/yzyptfbk).  I am nothing special, just took many journeys throughout my life here & there.  Now, I seek to tell about them in hopes to better other people lives some day.

The very first thing you might care to know about me is that I am not perfect.  But, I figure while I am still able to breathe and do things.  I will strive to be perfect in some sort of way.  Furthermore, the blogs I write are purposefully meant to be short lived, yet to the point.  They were not meant to tell you how I may think, but merely to help you think about something while sharing a discussion with others to better your lives. 

The Human - Spiritual Catalyst comes in different forms, perhaps, they help the World revolve.

I Think That I Got A Crush On Dr. Maria Spiropulu

 






by  C. Henry Adams


I think that I have a crush ('to admire') on Dr. Maria Spiropulu.  In my mind, she is liken to the modern-day, Albert Einstein.  When I make this statement, I simply mean both individuals (Dr. Maria Spiropulu & Albert Einstein) place their life studies in what appears to be Physics of some form.  For clarification purposes only, I like women only.

How did I come to this conclusion?   Wormholes. A wormhole is a hypothetical structure connecting disparate points in spacetime, and is based on a special solution of the Einstein field equations. A wormhole can be visualized as a tunnel with two ends at separate points in spacetime (i.e., different locations, different points in time, or both).   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wormhole

I can hear someone say in my mind, "Say what!?"

Yes, I said it,  Wormholes.    So, why do I mention it.  For me, I am hoping it develops another way to utilize transportation.

So, who is Dr. Maria Spiropulu?   Well, currently, she is a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.  She is the author of "Where is Einstein?", the final chapter in My Einstein: Essays by Twenty-four of the World's Leading Thinkers on the Man, His Work, and His Legacy.


Dr. Maria Spiropulu, Elementary Particle Physics, Albert Einstein, wormhole, quantum computer, quintessentially gravitational phenomenon, qubit,

Playing Games Like Chess Help Build Strategy


by  C. Henry Adams


My late Father said, " It is good in Life to get lost with  the knowledge of direction, fore, once you have found oneself, perhaps, you could never become lost in an unfamiliar place. "  History may have recognize the Game of Chess in at least (3) three places.  Thus, we will keep this discussion simple while encouraging you the reader to perform research.

1)  Legend has it that chess was invented around 200 B. C. by a commander, Hán Xin.

2)  In the 7th century, the Chinese's Chess was invented by the mythical Emperor Shennong or by his successor, Huangdi.

3) 
The history of chess can be traced back nearly 1,500 years to its earliest known predecessor, called Chaturanga.

However, today we will briefly discuss the development of Strategy regarding Chess.    Strategy defined here is quite simply  ' a plan to take action  '.

This unique game is played by two opponents against each other.

On the chess board of 32 pieces & 64 squares , there are 8 pieces (1 king, 1 queen, 2 bishops, 2 knights, 2 rooks ) and 8 pawns. They all play unique roles.

Over the years, decades and centuries; rules on how to play the game changed. Today, there is a standard approach or guideline on how to play.

Each character mentioned above moves a certain way and is restricted from moving a certain way.

Behaviorism is a systematic approach to understanding the behavior of humans and other animals. 

Now, let us add Artificial Intelligence or AI.

If  you study how certain pieces are played o
n the chess board  and the typical ways your opponent plays the tournament after you have won or lost a game; perhaps, you will learn to build a strategy of similar form in life.

Remember,  Strategy is ' a plan to take action  '.
