Biological Psychology
What is pain? To start with here are some kinds of pain that we all feel from time to time. Acute pain like feeling acute soreness. Chronic pain when we feel pain all the time. There is what is known as Pain sensitivity that means the loss of normal functioning due to chronic pain. Then there is what we all know as headaches from stress and tension to migraines to sinus. There are presenting items that help us to discuss and describe these kinds of pain and the problems that they cause. The theory of the pain: 1. can it be associated with some kind of damage that is observed somehow. 2. There is damage that occurs without pain or pain can occur without damage. 3. Huge damage can produce a kind of euphoria like some feel in Battlefield problems or in the triage area or even in the ER and the kind of life these people live. 4. There is severe pain where damage and euphoria work together.

This is a continuation of the previous article that ended with the description of the ear. This part will finish with the auditory system and move into more about the brain. The mechanical effects of the ear takes the sound and transduces and sorted out to action potentials to the sound at the cochlea. There is a pull tone that is 256 Htz. The cochlea takes care of the conductive volume decreasing to the end that is thick at one end, and loose and thin at the other end. The frequencies are sorted out spatially and vibrate at the far end, and the smaller the cochlea the higher the frequency transduction begins when the frequency of the assorted shapes.

The Secret Garden
Who remembers reading a novel entitled 'The Secret Garden' written by Frances Hodgson Burnett. The first time that I have heard of this novel was in elementary school, but I cannot remember which grade through. The teacher would read this book at the end of the day when the work was completed, but this was back in the 70's. I do believe that teachers still do this in their classrooms.

Do You Remember?
This is the second installment of my series 'Do you remember?' This article will be about 'Stuart Little' and the first time I heard this story was in elementary school and I think it was third grade, but I am not sure. The teacher would read this at the end of the day, and we all know what that usually meant and maybe means even today.

Do You Remember?
This is the beginning of a new series for me that I am calling 'Do You Remember?' These articles will be all about works of children's literature that you might have read as a child, young person or even as an adult. The first one that I am going to summarize and review is one of the greats in my opinion 'Charlotte's Web' by E.B. White. For me it was a good experience re-reading these books as an adult for there are lessons for even us to learn again.

Counseling Individuals Through the LifeSpan
'Counseling Individuals Through the LifeSpan' is a second edition that is written by Daniel W. Wong; Kimberly R. Hall and Lucy Wong Hernandez in 2021 by Sage Publications. This is a textbook that covers the subject of human development from conception through elderhood. This is a book that I believe could be used in a social work course as well as in counseling programs.
