Hey there, welcome to Life Noggin.
"Memory... is the diary that we all carry about with us."
So says Miss Prism in The Importance of Being Earnest.
It's a pretty accurate metaphor.
Memories hold our secrets, our feelings, and our experiences.
But what she doesn't point out is that memories, just like diaries, can be lost.
Our thoughts and recollections of the past can be gone in an instant.
What we tend to picture when we think of memory loss is what's known as retrograde amnesia.
Someone with retrograde amnesia can't remember certain aspects of the past and things they
already knew.
Generally, amnesia affects a person's short-term memory.
They'll remember the name of their childhood dog, but might not remember what day it is
or what they were doing immediately before they lost their memory.
Amnesia can be caused by a stroke, heart attack, or head injury, just as a few examples.
Fortunately, amnesia usually resolves itself without treatment.
However, millions of people will experience some form of incurable memory loss in their
lifetime.
In fact, this year an estimated 5.5 million people in the US live with Alzheimer's disease,
a disease that impacts the brain's ability to form memories.
Essentially Alzheimer's starts with a buildup of bits of a protein called beta-amyloid,
also known as plaque, in the brain.
The plaque gets in between nerve cells, and as more and more of it builds up, it damages
and kills brain cells, and Alzheimer's progresses.
According to the Alzheimer's Association, 1 in 10 people over the age of 65 has Alzheimer's.
That's a lot of people.
But what does memory loss mean for a person?
Is their personality gone too?
And what can be done for them?
Many researchers are asking, and answering, these questions.
Research shows that losing your memory to a disease like Alzheimer's isn't just
about forgetting facts you learned in school or the name of the street you grew up on.
It can progress into forgetting how to go through your daily routines like eating and
getting dressed.
Side effects of Alzheimer's also include personality changes, ranging from apathy to
paranoia to indecision.
However, in an interview about his experience with the disease, one man who has been living
with Alzheimer's for several years said "we're still in there."
But researchers' understanding of the disease can only go so far.
They can see the effects that Alzheimer's has on people, but typically they don't
fully comprehend the feeling of forgetting their own life.
According to a firsthand account from one individual who was diagnosed with early-onset
Alzheimer's, in order to imagine the disease, you should imagine waking up after a dental
procedure or a surgery—some event that involves drugs that erase your short term memory.
But also imagine that you've woken up in a building you don't recognize, surrounded
by things you've never seen before, and you're all alone.
Soon, people start coming into the room with you and talk to you like you've always known
them.
Maybe they're your best friend or your kid or your spouse.
But you have no idea who they are.
This is terrifying and heartbreaking to imagine.
I don't like to think about it.
But it's reality for so many people, and it's incredibly important to think and talk
about.
Alzheimer's has no cure.
But we have many scientists and researchers to thank for devoting their time and work
to looking for
a cure.
As always, my name is Blocko and this has been Life Noggin.
Don't forget to keep on thinking!

Xiaomi Mi A1 Unboxing & Overview - Android One Device - Duration: 5:08.
"Music"
Hey Guys Its Sagar from Tecworkz.
When I purchased the Mi A1 on the launch day, I did not get a chance to unbox it on camera,
and give you guys my initial impressions about it, like I usually do.
But thanks to Xiaomi India, I have a brand new sealed box of the Mi A1 to unbox in front
of you guys.
By now, most of you know that I already have the black Mi A1, and the new one that we have
here is in gold colour, so we will also do a nice comparison between both the colours
once we unbox this.
One thing that you guys always ask me in the comments section, is that where are these
phones made.
So to answer that, The black one that I purchased from the offline store is manufactures in
China, but the gold one that Xiaomi sent me says that its Made in India.
Getting right to the unboxing.
Remove the plastic covering on the box, then slide the actual box out of the outer sleeve,
break the seal at the top and bottom, you finally get to the phone.
Below the phone, is a box which holds the power brick, USB type C charging cable, some
paperwork and a SIM removal tool.
Now lets take a better look at the phone itself.
It is very thin and light, which I really like.
The full metal back, chamfered edges and the 2.5D curved display, makes this phone feel
really good in your hand.
Here's how the black and gold coloured phones look next to each other.
Personally I always prefer black coloured phones, since the bezels at the front blend
with the screen.
Power and the volume buttons are on the right side, and on the left is the SIM tray.
It can either hold 2 sim cards, or 1 sim and one microSD card.
At the top you get a noise cancelling microphone, and an IR blaster.
At the bottom is a 3.5 mm headphone jack, microphone, USB C port for charging and data
transfer and a single downward firing speaker.
Fingerprint sensor to unlock the phone is at the back, it is conveniently placed and
is fast to unlock the phone.
Above that you get dual 12 megapixel cameras.
One of which has a 26mm wide lens with f/2.2 aperture, while the other has a 50mm telephoto
lens with f/2.6 aperture.
Xiaomi made a big buzz about these cameras being flagship quality cameras.
While that might not be totally accurate, these cameras are really good for a smartphone,
which comes at Rs.15,000.
Its performance is not the best in low light, but it can take really good images when the
light is right.
Images with depth effect are surprisingly good for the price.
If only Xiaomi could add some sort of software stabilisation while shooting video, with a
future software updates, this could be a very good camera.
I have compared this camera with that of the Moto G5S Plus and also the OnePlus 5, if you
are interested in those videos, I will leave cards to them on the top right corner of the
screen and also link them in the description section.
Inside, the phone is powered by the trusted Snapdragon 625 processor and Adreno 506 GPU.
There's 4GB of RAM and 64GB of built in storage, if thats not enough, you can further
expand it by upto 128GB via a microSD card.
All of this hardware is backed by a 3080mAh battery.
It charges via a USB type C cable, but sadly there's no fast charging, and the phone
takes over 2 hours to go from 0 to 100%.
The battery is not as big as the one on the Redmi Note 4, which if you know lasts forever
on a single charge.
But this 3080mAh battery still gets you through the day, at least this is what I experienced
in the last few days.
While I loved the design and the battery life of the Redmi Note 4, I never enjoyed MIUI.
Which is why I am more exited about the A1, since its running stock android, under Google's
Android One program.
This also makes sure that we get timely updates directly from google, hopefully much sooner
than when other manufacturers roll it out.
I have only used my A1 for a few days, but the experience has been really smooth so far.
I have been playing games on this phone, and it doesn't lag, stutter or even get hot.
I am using it together with the Moto G5S Plus, so I really have some interesting things to
say about, in the comparison video between these phones.
If you don't want to miss that, make sure you are subscribed to the channel and have
the notifications turned on.
I want to use this phone for a few more days before I can give you a full review about
it.
If you want to buy the phone, I will leave a link to it in the description section and
you can pick it up in the next sale at flipkart.
It is also available at few offline stores, so look around in your city if you don't want
to wait for the next online flash sale.
Well, that is it for this video guys.
