Deathbed phenomena is many experiences seen by people who are dying. There are many examples of deathbed phenomena in both non-fiction and fictional literature.

In scientific literature, they have been called as death-related sensory experiences (DRSE). Dying patients have reported to staff working in hospices they have experienced comforting visions.

Modern scientists think that the deathbed phenomena and visions are hallucinations.

Chaudhary Devi Lal (born Devi Dayal; 25 September 1914 — 6 April 2001) was an Indian politician. He served as 6th Deputy Prime Minister of India from 1989 to 1991 in the management of V. P. Singh and Chandra Shekhar. He is popularly known as Tau (uncle). Devi Lal came out as farmer leader from the state of Haryana. He served as the Chief Minister of Haryana first in 1977-79 and then in 1987-89.

Personal life
Chaudhary Devi Lal was born in Teja Khera village of Sirsa district in present-day Haryana to Shunga Devi and Lekh Ram Sihag. Lekh Ram was a Jat of Chautala village. He owned 2750 bighas of land. Lal received education up to middle-school. His son, Om Prakash Chautala has also served as Haryana's chief minister four times.
In 1928 at the age of 16, Devi Lal participated in independence struggle event by Lala Lajpat Rai. He was a student of "Dev Samaj Public High School Moga" in Moga during his 10th class. At that time, he was arrested at Congress office in 1930. He quit studies and joined freedom movement. He also took wrestling lesson at an Akhara in Badal village of Punjab. He was first elected MLA in 1952.

Lal comes from a productive political period of time with his powerful family rulers of Haryana. His older brother Sahib Ram Sihag was the first politician from the family. Sahib Ram Sihag became Congress MLA from Hisar in 1938 and 1947. Lal had four sons - Partap Singh, Om Prakash Chautala, Ranjit Singh and Jagdish Chander. His eldest son, Partap Singh, was an MLA from Indian National Lok Dal in the 1960s.
Independence movement
Lal was a follower of Mahatma Gandhi. He was involved in the struggle for India's independence from the British Raj. Both he and his elder brother, Sahib Ram, left their studies unfinished to take part in the freedom movement.

For this, he was sentenced to one year rigorous imprisonment and sent to Hissar jail on 8 October 1930. He took part in the movement of 1932. He was then kept in Sadar Delhi Thana (Jail). In 1938 he was selected delegate of All-India Congress Committee. In March 1938, his elder brother was elected a Member of the Legislative Assembly in a by-election on the Congress party ticket. In January 1940, Sahib Ram courted arrest as a satyagrahi in the presence of Lal and over ten thousand people. He was fined Rs 100 and sentenced to 9 months imprisonment.
Lal was arrested again on 5 October 1942. He then kept in jail for two years for taking part in the 1942 Quit India movement. He was released from prison in October 1943. He negotiated parole for his elder brother. In August 1944, Chhotu Ram, the then Revenue Minister, visited Chautala village. He, along with Lajpat Rai Alakhpura, made efforts to woo both Sahib Ram and Lal to desert Congress and join the Unionist Party. But both workers, being dedicated freedom fighters, refused to leave the Congress Party.

Post independence

Pre-1960: Punjab Assembly politics 
After independence, Lal emerged as a popular farmer leader in the 1950s and started a farmers' movement, for which he was arrested along with his 500 workers. After some time, then chief minister, Gopi Chand Bhargava, made an agreement and the Muzzara Act was amended. He was elected a member of the Punjab Assembly in 1952 and President of the Punjab Congress in 1956. In 1958, he was elected from Sirsa.
Pre-1980: Haryana Assembly politics
He played an active and clear role in the (creation and construction/ group of objects) of Haryana as a separate state. In 1971, he left Congress. In 1972 Vidhan Sabha elections, he argued over unsuccessfully against the two Congress heavyweights. One was Bansi Lal in Tosham (Vidhan Sabha seat) and another was Bhajan Lal in Adampur seat. In 1974, he successfully contested in the Rori constituency. In 1975, Indira Gandhi declared the Emergency. Lal along with all opposition leaders were jailed for 19 months. In 1977, the emergency ended and general elections were held. He was elected on the Janata Party ticket from Bhattu Kalan. He then became the Chief Minister of Haryana. As the chief minister of Haryana he made several decisions benefiting farmers and rural people.
Post-1980: national and state politics 
He remained a Member of Parliament from 1980 to 1982. He was a member of State assembly between 1982 and 1987. He formed Lok Dal. He started Nyaya Yuddh (en. battle for justice), under the banner of Haryana Sangharsh Samiti. In the 1987 state elections, the alliance led by Lal won a record victory winning 85 seats in the 90 member house. Congress won the other five seats. Lal became the chief minister of Haryana for the second time. In the 1989 parliamentary election, he was simultaneously elected, both from Sikar, Rajasthan and Rohtak, Haryana.

He went on to become deputy prime minister of the country from 1989 to 1991.

He was elected to Rajya Sabha in August 1998. Later, his son Om Prakash Chautala also became the chief minister of Haryana.

Continental philosophers are a group of philosophers mainly from continental Europe (especially France and Germany). Continental philosophy includes philosophical movements from the 19th century and after. The term became popular among researchers in England after World War II. It is often used to separate from analytic philosophy. Being a philosopher from continental Europe is not quite the same as being a continental philosopher. Some continental philosophers are from other parts of the world.

There are many movements within continental philosophy, such as: critical theory, deconstruction, existentialism, German idealism, Hegelianism, Marxism, Nietzscheanism, phenomenology, postmodernism, and others.

Echinococcosis is an infection caused by tapeworms. Animals such as dogs and sheep are able to transmit the disease. Risk factors are coming in contact with feces of livestock, dogs and foxes. Humans become infected swallowing tapeworm eggs in the contaminated food. Then eggs can spread to liver, lungs and brain forming cysts. That is why Echinococcosis is also called Hydatid cyst disease. Cysts can be found using ultrasound, computer tomography, or magnetic resonance imaging. To confirm the diagnosis ELISA, immunological test should be done. Treatment includes antiparasitic medications. Surgical intervention such as cyst aspiration is recommended to avoid to prevent to spread of the infection.

Toshizo Hijikata lived in Japan during the late Edo  period. He was a member of Shinsengumi. They guarded the Shogun. And he was a Vice President of Shinsengumi. He supported the president, Isami Kondo. He was a very strict person. So he was feared as a Vice President of the ogre. He died in Hokkaido at the age of 35.

Early life 

In 1835, he was born in Musashino Kuni (Hino city, Tokyo). He was the tenth child and he was the youngest in his family. His father was a wealthy farmer. But he wanted to do martial arts and be a samurai. So he made an effort to practice sword fighting.

Childhood 
As a child, he was a very naughty boy. Also he was a smart boy.

When he was 11 years old, he started to work in the dry goods dealer (Ito Gofukuten). But he quarreled with the leader for a trivial matter and walked back about 40 kilometers to his house. He was so stubborn that he wouldn’t return to the shop even if his family persuaded him.

Next, he started to sell medicines (Ishida Sanyaku).
Shinsengumi 
The Shinsengumi, or "newly selected troops," protected the Shogun in the last years before the Meiji Restoration.

Hijikata met Isami Kondo when he was 25 years old. He joined Shieikan which Isami Kondo ran. After that, he applied for the Roshigumi to protect Tokugawa Iemochi, the 14th Shogun of the Edo Shogunate. And he went to Kyoto with members of Shieikan. Shinsengumi started in 1863 because they succeeded there. They guarded the Shogun.

He was a Vice President of Shinsengumi. He was a very strict person. So he was feared by all as a Vice President of the ogre. But just before he died in Hakodate, he was kind to everyone.
Ikedaya case 
In 1864 July 8th, Ikedaya case happened. Shinsengumi beat Sonno Joi ha (supporters of the doctrine of restoring the emperor and expelling the barbarians). When he heard that Isami Kondo’s army had found Sonno Joi ha, he immediately joined forces. But he didn’t storm Ikedaya immediately and ambushed around there. The achievements of the Shinsengumi in the Ikedaya case were very great.

Boshin War 
Immediately after the Boshin War began, Isami Kondo was arrested. Toshizo tried to save Isami Kondo, but he was executed. When the war of Utsunomiya castle happened, he won temporarily. But it was inferior to a modern weapon of the new government troop with swords and spears. He escaped to Goryokaku, but his stomach was shot and he died. He was 35 years old.

Legacy

Hijikata's sword was returned to Tokyo.  People come to look at it every year.

The Hijikata Toshizo Museum opened in Hino City in 1994.  It is in the same building where Hijikata grew up.
A fictional Hijikata appears in the game Hakuouki.
