The COACH program is open to Veterans aged 65 or older living within a 50-mile radius of either the Durham VA Medical Center, Greenville VA Health Care Center, or Morehead City VA Community-Based Outreach Clinic with a caregiver at […]

Suicide in the Military

The Army Study to Assess Risk and Resilience in Servicemembers (Army STARRS) is the largest study of mental health risk and resilience ever conducted among U.S. military personnel. The findings related to suicide attempts and deaths have been released in a series of the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) Psychiatry articles. Study findings include: the rise in suicide deaths from 2004 to 2009 occurred not only in currently and previously deployed soldiers, but also among soldiers never deployed; […]

A Call for Service

In the article, “Our Opportunity to Serve Veterans,” Kathryn Power, M.Ed., Regional Administrator and Lead, Strategic Priority for Military Service Members, Veterans and their Families, Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) calls on community providers to become educated about the needs of our Veterans and their families. Ms. Power writes, “There is a misconception that Veterans are only served through closed systems, and that the civilian community does not have the opportunity to interact with the Veteran population,” […]

UNC Team Helps Vets

Dr. Eric Elbogen, a forensic psychologist at the University of North Carolina School of Medicine, heads a team that developed tools that mental health clinicians can use to assess and reduce risk for violent behavior in Veterans. The research identified risk factors associated with risk of violence in Veterans and provided information to aid in the construction and development of clinical checklists used by doctors in the Veterans Administration (VA) hospital system and non-VA medical facilities treating military Veterans. The […]

NCNG Tax Preparation

The North Carolina National Guard (NCNG) is providing free tax preparation to service members, Veteran retirees, and their families throughout the state of North Carolina. Certified staff travels across the state to make the service available to soldiers who may not have the ability to get to the JFHQ location in Raleigh. The tax center also provides times on the weekend so that service members do not have to take time off from their civilian jobs. Since opening three years […]

Soldier 360 Program

The Soldier 360 leadership-training program is experiencing success at Fort Bragg and earning high praise from Fort Bragg leaders. This five-day training program includes non-traditional therapies and aims to increase resiliency among noncommissioned officers. Mary Lopez, a retired colonel and director of Soldier 360, says that the program provides enlisted leaders with tools, techniques, and programs that could help a soldier in need. Participants in the course describe how the training has helped them both mentally and physically. To read […]

Kernersville VA Clinic

A groundbreaking ceremony for the 280,000 square foot Kernersville Veterans Affairs clinic was held in January. The new clinic, expected to serve about 34,000 veterans a year, will cut down on the travel time for veterans who currently seek care at the VA. The services offered at the clinic will include primary care and general and specialized mental health services among others. Similar clinics are being built in Charlotte and Fayetteville to help meet the growing health care needs of […]

PTSD, TBI, and Pain

Researchers at the Virginia Commonwealth University have found that for veterans treated for traumatic brain injury (TBI) that the majority had a clinician-diagnosed mental health disorder and approximately half had both post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and pain. Additional findings indicated that six percent of the veterans treated during the study period suffered from TBI, PTSD, and pain, referred to as the “polytrauma triad.” The principal investigators of the study believe that their findings will lead to better understanding and treatment […]

Veterans Courts

The US Department of Justice (DOJ) estimates that there are about 140,000 veterans in American jails today. More than half of these veterans have substance abuse problems, and a quarter were inebriated at the time of the violation that landed them in prison. Experts say many are “self-medicating,” countering the strains of their service, PTSD, emotional stress, mental fatigue, survivor guilt, and/or family disruption with drugs or alcohol. Recognizing that many veterans are in need of treatment, not incarceration, many […]

Stand Down a Success

The Veteran Stand Down and Outreach Event hosted by the Onslow County Career Center offered hot showers, meals, toiletries, clothing, and a variety of resources to more than 100 veterans. Fifty organizations representing the Department of Veterans Affairs, schools, nonprofits, and crisis response services were available to help the veterans who attended. Veterans received assistance with applying for and checking on the status of benefits, enrolling for care, and becoming members for the many veteran service organizations present. To read […]

How to Memorize an Essay?

The Best Way to Memorizing the Essay

How to Memorize an Essay? Essay memorization is a great way to pass exams and presentations and improve your general knowledge. If you want to memorize an essay verbatim, take your time by studying the short parts one at a time. Memory techniques such as visualization and physical cues can help you remember this information on demand. Of course, sometimes you don’t have to remember things exactly. You may find it more useful to memorize key ideas or important quotes, whether that is your own essay or a piece of paper written by the best essay writing service. You can register on the site using your email address or Facebook account. You fill out a form about what type of essay you need, topic, number of pages, and deadline. You can attach cited material for mention in the dissertation. The platform then suggests suitable authors. There is an opportunity to chat with the writers before starting work.

How to Learn Each Piece of Essay?

The work of the human brain has not yet been 100% studied; we only know that we use a small part of the abilities of the brain. The psychological processes that take place in the human mind are amenable to daily training. Memory and other mechanisms of consciousness can be developed to unprecedented heights. A strong memory will make it possible to achieve success in any area of human life, it will be needed in “everyday” life, and study, and it will easily increase intellectual abilities. The ability to memorize an essay will be useful in exams and presentations, as well as increase the overall level of knowledge:

If you need to memorize an essay word for word, then take your time and learn the text in small fragments.
Use memory techniques such as mental images and material cues to help you remember the information you need when needed. It is not always necessary to memorize the text by heart.
Sometimes it is much more useful to memorize key ideas and important quotes.

How to Quickly Learn the Essay: Effective Memorization Techniques

For effective memorization of the essay, it is better to use several channels of perception and adhere to the following algorithm:

Read the whole text several times, and delve into its meaning.
Use associations (memorize a picture drawn by the imagination while reading or listening).
Divide the material into logical parts and make a plan.
Write down keywords or quotes for the paragraphs.
Retell each part separately, then connect the story.
And read until begins to be deposited in your memory. Memorize separate parts, and blocks of information. Remember the first – you can move on to the second.
Try to sing the piece. Pick a familiar tune and sing along! Many prefer rhythmic music. Repeatedly singing an essay is perfectly remembered by the brain for a long time. How to sing – quietly or loudly – you decide.
