After 246 celebrations of American independence, it’s easy to forget the circumstances of that landmark event. The Declaration of Independence, adopted July 4, 1776, was not actually signed until August 2. John Hancock signed it first and did so with such a flourish that a giant insurance company still uses his bold signature as its logo. Rhode Island had the fewest signers, at two, and Pennsylvania had the most, at nine. Two signers were in their 20s and seventeen were in their 30s. Only seven were over 60. The 56 signers lived interesting and consequential lives, some with unhappy endings. Twenty-four were lawyers, 17 merchants and 14 plantation owners. Four were physicians and two ministers. A majority of the signers held slaves, a harsh truth of history that would contradict the self-evident truth on which the Declaration was based — “that all men are created equal.” Two signers would become U.S. presidents, John Adams and Thomas Jefferson. These two opposed one … [Read more...] about Ron Faucheux: The courage of the patriots made their Declaration a magic moment

Love is an inexplicable thing, isn’t it? It’s almost impossible to explain it to someone who’s never experienced it. What’s all the more mysterious is the way it changes over time. The feeling of love that, say, a teenager has — that first, giddy, all-consuming feeling that is almost an ache — is quite different to the deep, entwined feeling of love that a couple who have been together for 50 years feels. And the types of love people experience are so varied. Is the love a parent has for their child the same as the love someone has for a pet? Can we lump the feelings of love between friends with the feelings of love between family members? When we talk about love, we are really describing a lot of very complex emotions. Love can be wonderful but also painful, confusing and upsetting. Can we simply explain all this by brain chemistry? Can it really be reduced to a series of hormones surging around in our heads? Dr Anna Machin argues that advances in neuroscience mean … [Read more...] about DR MAX PEMBERTON: Love is a drug… but not one we can prescribe

Barely 24 hours later she had discharged herself and was ignoring her own pain while a doctor said her son Liam had a 40% chance to live.
