YAMAGUCHI-LUCKIEST AND UNLUCKIEST STORY
Tsutomu Yamaguchi -LUCKIEST AND unluckiest men in history.
Yamaguchi was a resident of Nagasaki who was visiting Hiroshima on business on the morning of August 6th 1945 - where he experienced (and survived) the atomic bomb dropped on the city at 8:15 am. Yamaguchi was injured but never-the-less returned home to Nagasaki where he returned to work on the morning on August 9th 1945 - just in time to experience the second atomic bomb.HE SURVIVED.
He survived again.
Hence he is the luckiest man in history (survived two Atomic bombs) and unluckiest man in history (had two atomic bombs dropped on him).
He actually lived for many years after the war, passing away only a few years ago in 2010.

PICKS DISEASE-FRONTOTEMPORAL DEMENTIA
While Pick's disease or frontotemporal dementia (FTD) is a less common form of dementia, it is a significant cause of dementia in people under the age of 65. Patients with Pick's initially exhibit marked personality and behavioral changes, before a decline in the ability to speak coherently. This means it can be frequently misdiagnosed in the early stages as depression or Alzheimer's disease. There is currently no cure for Pick's disease, but by understanding the unique symptoms you can better manage the disease and improve your quality of life.
J D BAUBY-
Sunday. If the TV is turned on, it is vital to have made the right decision. It is almost a matter of
strategy. For three or four hours are likely to go by before the return of the kindly soul who can change
channels. Sometimes it is wiser to forgo an interesting program if it is followed by a tearful soap
opera, a silly game show, or a raucous talk show. Violent applause hurts my ears. I prefer the peace of
documentaries on art, history, or animals. I watch them without the sound, the way you watch flames
in a fireplace.

Seven-thirty. The duty nurse interrupts the flow of my thoughts. Following a well-established
ritual, she draws the curtain, checks tracheostomy and drip feed, and turns on the TV so I can watch
the news. Right now a cartoon celebrates the adventures of the fastest frog in the West. And what if I
asked to be changed into a frog? What then?

Related Poem Content Details
To him who in the love of Nature holds
Communion with her visible forms, she speaks
A various language; for his gayer hours
She has a voice of gladness, and a smile
And eloquence of beauty, and she glides
Into his darker musings, with a mild
And healing sympathy, that steals away
Their sharpness, ere he is aware. When thoughts
Of the last bitter hour come like a blight
Over thy spirit, and sad images
Of the stern agony, and shroud, and pall,
And breathless darkness, and the narrow house,
Make thee to shudder, and grow sick at heart;—
Go forth, under the open sky, and list
To Nature’s teachings, while from all around—
Earth and her waters, and the depths of air—
Comes a still voice—
Yet a few days, and thee
The all-beholding sun shall see no more
In all his course; nor yet in the cold ground,
Where thy pale form was laid, with many tears,
Nor in the embrace of ocean, shall exist
Thy image. Earth, that nourished thee, shall claim
Thy growth, to be resolved to earth again,
And, lost each human trace, surrendering up
Thine individual being, shalt thou go
To mix for ever with the elements,
To be a brother to the insensible rock
And to the sluggish clod, which the rude swain
Turns with his share, and treads upon. The oak
Shall send his roots abroad, and pierce thy mould.
Yet not to thine eternal resting-place
Shalt thou retire alone, nor couldst thou wish
Couch more magnificent. Thou shalt lie down
With patriarchs of the infant world—with kings,
The powerful of the earth—the wise, the good,
Fair forms, and hoary seers of ages past,
All in one mighty sepulchre. The hills
Rock-ribbed and ancient as the sun,—the vales
Stretching in pensive quietness between;
The venerable woods—rivers that move
In majesty, and the complaining brooks
That make the meadows green; and, poured round all,
Old Ocean’s gray and melancholy waste,—
Are but the solemn decorations all
Of the great tomb of man. The golden sun,
The planets, all the infinite host of heaven,
Are shining on the sad abodes of death,
Through the still lapse of ages. All that tread
The globe are but a handful to the tribes
That slumber in its bosom.—Take the wings
Of morning, pierce the Barcan wilderness,
Or lose thyself in the continuous woods
Where rolls the Oregon, and hears no sound,
Save his own dashings—yet the dead are there:
And millions in those solitudes, since first
The flight of years began, have laid them down
In their last sleep—the dead reign there alone.
So shalt thou rest, and what if thou withdraw
In silence from the living, and no friend
Take note of thy departure? All that breathe
Will share thy destiny. The gay will laugh
When thou art gone, the solemn brood of care
Plod on, and each one as before will chase
His favorite phantom; yet all these shall leave
Their mirth and their employments, and shall come
And make their bed with thee. As the long train
Of ages glide away, the sons of men,
The youth in life’s green spring, and he who goes
In the full strength of years, matron and maid,
The speechless babe, and the gray-headed man—
Shall one by one be gathered to thy side,
By those, who in their turn shall follow them.
So live, that when thy summons comes to join
The innumerable caravan, which moves
To that mysterious realm, where each shall take
His chamber in the silent halls of death,
Thou go not, like the quarry-slave at night,
Scourged to his dungeon, but, sustained and soothed
By an unfaltering trust, approach thy grave,
Like one who wraps the drapery of his couch
About him, and lies down to pleasant dreams.
METTA THEN JARAMARANA MEDITN
Every morning he rose at five and seated himself, with his feet firmly on the ground, on a park bench overlooking a brook that flowed through his property. He told me he made it a point not to slouch or lean back, but to sit erect. In his right hand he held a long string of smooth beads, which he rubbed one at a time while he visualized each member of his family, then his friends, and lastly those about whom he had harbored unkind thoughts. All these people he then embraced mentally, directing thoughts of loving kindness toward them. This exercise over, he began concentrating on the word death, more or less in the manner outlined above, fingering each bead as he focused on the word. This type of meditation is suitable for beginners and advanced students alike.

NIGHTMARE X THREAT SIMULATION THEORY
nightmares serve an evolutionary function by forcing the brain to re-enact adverse events during sleep so as to better prepare people to deal with them next time; an idea known as threat simulation theory.
nightmares are often related to a history of abuse or neglect, leading to the idea that nightmares develop in response to an “accumulation of adverse events throughout life

Mood is different than pleasure. Pleasure can be produced by many things that harm you in the long run. But what raises your mood is almost always good for you. Your mood is an excellent indicator of healthy actions, healthy thoughts, and healthy emotions.

Grouchy, stubborn and egotistical Professor Isak Borg is a widowed 78-year-old physician who specialized in bacteriology
During the trip, Isak is forced by nightmares, daydreams, old age and impending death to reevaluate his life.
He reminisces about his childhood at the seaside and his sweetheart Sara, with whom he remembered gathering strawberries, but who instead married his brother.
Borg finally arrives at his destination and is promoted to Doctor Jubilaris, but this proves to be an empty ritual. That night, he bids a loving goodbye to his young friends, to whom the once bitter old man whispers in response to a playful declaration of the young girl's love, "I'll remember." As he goes to his bed in his son's home, he is overcome by a sense of peace, and dreams of a family picnic by a lake. Closure and affirmation of life have finally come, and Borg's face radiates joy.
