She lost a nail once, when fixing her car engine on the freeway, and otherwise has no trouble leading a normal life.

Amazing Human Courage in Olympics 1964

There’s no doubt you have heard of Usian Bolt, Marian Jones and Yohan Blake. But did you hear a name called Ranasinghe Karunananda? He was one of the forgotten Olympic heroes who represented Sri Lanka (Ceylon) in the 1964 Olympics, in the Mens 10,000 meters event.

Karunananda competed because he wanted his little daughter to be happy that he competed, from start to finish. He came last. He could have stopped at any point, it would not have changed anything. He didn’t. He was with the leaders when Billy Mills of the USA breasted the tape. That’s because he had been lapped four times by that time. When he continued, it surprised the spectators. When he came around they jeered. When he came around a second time, there was silence. And then there was cheering. Wild applause. He finished the race to a standing ovation that exceeded the salutation that the spectators gave Mills.

One housewife wrote, ‘I saw you on TV, running all alone and I could not keep back my tears’.  

The Japanese remember this more than the Sri Lankans do. Days after the race he still received gifts from sympathetic Japanese. His story is related to schoolchildren to teach the virtue of determination and the triumph of the human spirit. Look below how he competed with others at Olympics.

At the media discussion Mills have said that the gold should have gone to Karunananda not for him. Karunananda was gifted by many things by Japanese and they all consider him as a real hero with an incredible courage. After few months, some say he died in an accident. Some say he was murdered. Some say he just disappeared. Whatever happened, isn’t Karunanada a real hero among us?

Conjoined Twins with Amazing Coordination

Abigail Loraine Hensel and Brittany Lee Hensel were born on 7th March of 1990, at Carver County, Minnesota, United States. They were not same as other new boned children because they have only one body with two souls. Meaning that they are conjoined twins of whom each has a separate head, but whose bodies are joined. Their parents decided not to have the twins separated at birth regardless of the risks.

Brittany is the left twin, and Abigail is the right twin.
 

Abigail and Brittany have individual organs in the upper part of their body, while most of the organs located at or below the level of the navel are common, the exception being the spinal cord.

They have, 

• 2 heads
• 2 arms — originally 3, but the short abnormal central arm was removed
• 2 spinal cords and backbones which merge at the pelvis – surgery corrected scoliosis 3½ lungs — surgery expanded their chest cavity
• 2 breasts
• 2 hearts in a shared circulatory system — medicine taken by either affects both
• 1 liver
• 2 stomachs
• 3 kidneys
• 2 gallbladders
• 1 bladder 1 ribcage
• 1 large intestine
• 1 female reproductive system.

Each twin controls her half of their body, in use one of the arms and one of the legs. They required bodily coordination from both for some activities such as clapping, crawling, and walking. Each twin is able to eat and write separately and at the same time.

Other activities such as brushing hair, running, swimming and driving a car require that each twin carry out a series of quite separate actions that coordinate with the other. Displaying an amazing co-ordination which has astonished the world, they play the piano with Abigail taking the right hand parts and Brittany the left.

By seeing these things we feel sorry for them. But see how they are living happily with each other. The above photographs give evidence for their happy.

Abigail Loraine Hensel and Brittany Lee Hensel teach a good lesson to us from their living style.

“Be happy what you have without thinking what you don’t have”
