Have you ever been sitting in your home in the evening and suddenly you experience a power outage? No doubt, as you sit there in darkness, you remember the layout of your home interior, how to get from one side of your home to the other. However, there is a disorder referred to as (Nonverbal Learning Disability) that if you were encumbered by it, you would have no idea how to navigate yourself in a darkened home.
In this week's episode, a fellow from Manhattan NY, joined me to discuss and educate my listenership of his rare disorder that makes it impossible for him to estimate time, in other words, how long it takes to get from one place to another and the scenario I presented at the outset happened to him, lost in darkness, in his own home of many years. He gets lost everywhere and he also finds it impossible to interpret facial expressions, a rare disorder indeed. But in the other hand, he is a brilliant man that holds a PHD and is self-employed as a statistician and is an author wherein he describes his disability. It was in 1889, a German government official, Otto von Bismarck who conceived the concept of retirement, which began the idea for those that were no longer able to work due to disability or health issues, thus, the concept was adopted by the rest of society. From an etymologically standpoint, the word retirement derives from the French lexicon in the 16th century. The term comes from a military sense that carries the idea to (withdraw to a place of security or isolation).

In this week's episode, a pediatrician spoke to the fact that we as parents, we have the inherited obligation to nurture and teach our children to grow up responsibly, especially, in the age of Columbine. On April 20, 1999, at Columbine High School in Littleton, Colorado, two teenagers walked onto the grounds of their high school before noon. Both dressed in trench coats, proceeded to shoot fellow peers outside Columbine High School, located just south of Denver. The two teenagers subsequently entered the school building, where they mercilessly gunned down many of their fellow students in the library. By a span of approximately eight minutes both had taken the lives of a dozen students and a student instructor, and physically and emotionally wounded more than 20 others. Shortly thereafter the two teens committed suicide. |
