Rare Powerful Photos From Nigeria's History.

What are the rarest pictures you have ever seen?

 In 1896 the Olympics came back in Athens. The participants in the 100m race did not even know how to start in the right way. Some of them were bent forward, and others erect. Rules had not yet existed. They were only working out the thing, and had no idea that they were making history.

The photos of the last Samurai were taken in 1860s. These were actual warriors but their moment was coming to a close. Their entire class disappeared in several years. A tradition spanning a long period of time was lost literally overnight.

In 1953 Queen Elizabeth turned out to be the world centre. The first time her coronation was broadcasted on TV. It was seen by millions of people. The monarchy ceased to be a personal affair, something visible to everyone.

The first Indian cricket team to visit England came in 1886. It appeared an insignificant thing, but it was not. That trip served to make cricket something massive at home.

And then there is the Schwerer Gustav, a huge war machine. It demonstrates the extent to which man can go to construct destruction.

It is a trend: things appear, develop, and fade away. History does not cease--it goes on.

What are the rarest pictures you have ever seen?

 1. Significant moments that were caught by pictures and fixed forever:

a. The track left by British and Germany fighters in the sky of London in 1940.

b. The return of Mona Lisa to Musee du Louvre after the World War II.

c. The moment after the assassination of Martin Luther King, witnesses were pointing to the direction of the shooter.

d. D-Day landing at 1944, 06, 22.

2. Glimpses of historical people:

a. Chaplin and Helen Keller

b. Douglas Fairbanks and Chaplin at a gathering selling bonds for the World War I.

3. Reflection of the culture and history by ordinary people in their daily life. They often bring fresh footnotes to the culture and the history, as well as each individual’s root, lineage, and family bonds.

a. A young Chinese girl put on her best dress for an rare occasion to take a picture, so that a moment of her youth and beauty could be kept forever.

This picture was taken ~ 1930. At the time, photography was very rare and expensive in China, thus only saved for important events. It was said that this picture was taken not long before the young lady’s arranged marriage, probably as a record of her carefree girlhood.

b. A young French lady and her painting. The picture was taken between 1920-1925. Yet the reserved smile, the shy curiosity, and the thoughtful posture are timeless signatures shared by all.

c. A group of Chinese students at a park in Paris, 1920. After suffering a series of defeats in late 19th century, the Chinese authorities started to send students abroad to learn the advanced technology. Altogether, ～16,00 Chinese students went to study in France around 1920. Most of them returned to China and played important roles in its reforms and revolutions at all levels.

Which is the rarest of medical conditions?

 Imagine a condition so rare that it only affects a single person on the whole planet. This medical condition seems straight out of a comic book as the person affected experiences no pain, no hunger and no need for sleep. Sounds superhuman? But actually it is a nightmare.

This is the story of Olivia Farnsworth who suffers from Chromosome 6p deletion. There are around 100 known cases of this specific variant but most experience only 1 or 2 phenotypes. Olivia is the only person in the world with all three, no pain, no hunger and no sleep.

When Olivia was 7 years old she was hit by a speeding car which dragged her approximately 30–40 meters. Everyone who witnessed the accident was horrified but Olivia simply got up and walked back to her mother, without crying, without showing any symptoms of pain. When she was taken to the hospital doctors labelled her bionic because she felt nothing.

While her condition may seem like a superpower, it is anything but. Pain, hunger and sleep are not weaknesses, they are inbuilt survival mechanisms. They are the body's way of signalling something is wrong and needs attention. But Olivia has none of them. She could hold her hand over a flame and it would burn her skin but she would not feel anything. She could be bleeding internally and feel completely fine until it is too late. The truth is she is not immune to death, she simply cannot hear it knocking.
