Glorious Day
The results to RPR, VDRL, TPHA were negative. I should celebrate now, thanks God I’m healthy!
Poem for my health:
Spreading my light in only one direction and filling my sun with thoughts, I was rescued
Tortured by nausea little frogs called my name
Than I sat in the park, people didn’t believe their eyes
that I was healthy, healthy – a panoramic wing
beyond my body
told them the secret: Camil IS.
Yeah..so enthusiastic inside myself. I feel sometimes like a saint, like a sudden saint who enjoys freedom.

Psychosis, Schizophrenia, DID, Manic Depression
Psychosis-loss of contact with reality. Symptoms: hallucinations, delusional beliefs, personality changes, disorganized thinking. Causes: plenty 
Schizophrenia-impairments in the perception or expression of reality (auditory hallucinations, paranoid or bizarre delusions or disorganized speech and thinking in the context of significant social or occupational disfunction). Causes: genetic (some genes-the scientists don’t know exactly the phenomenon), prenatal (early neurodevelopment), social (living in an urban environment, poverty, social discrimination), substance use, psychological (excessive attention to potential threats, jumping to conclusions, impaired reason about social situations and mental states, difficulty in distinguishing inner speech from an external source, difficulties with visual processing and maintaining concentration), neural (neurocognitive defficiency).
Manic Depression (Bipolar Disorder)-cyclic illness where people periodically exhibit elevated (manic) and depressive episodes. Symptoms: persistent feelings of sadness, anxiety, guilt, anger, isolation, hopelessness, depersonalization, lack of motivation, lack of interest in sex, social anxiety, disturbances in sleep and appetite, fatigue and loss of interest in usually enjoyed activities. Causes: see schizophrenia. There are Bipolar I, Bipolar II, Cyclotomy (it depends on the frequency). Interesting: some researchers say it is connected with creativity!!!!!!!
Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID)-a single person displays many distinct identities or personalities, each with its own pattern of perceiving and interacting with the environment. Symptoms: headaches and other body pains, distortion or loss of subjective time, depersonalization, amnesia, depression. Causes: overwhelming stress, insufficient childhood nurturing and innate ability to dissociate memories or experiences from consciousness (prolonged childhood abuse is also a cause).
Crossing the Street
Crossing the street they noticed her trembling, she was sitting in the middle with a small bitch in her arms. They wanted to hug her, she started to scream, the bitch ran away. It was my bitch, my little female dog. I’ ve always called her my sixth sense, she always called me her master. We had our private language: she-barking; me-speaking. But we didn’t have any breakdown. We knew it from our body language: her tail -the sign of happiness; my smile-the sign that I had also a tail. And empathy-this cruel substitute of formal communication- was missing, but not because we couldn’t achieve it, but only because we were beyond it. I was beyond this brown world when my bitch came to me and tried to take me back. Then I was crossing the street. She was with another girl. I didn’t succeed to convince her that I’m the male. And-a car decided to kill her. My bitch is dead.
Ich bin mit meinem Dasein zufrieden..
What is Dasein?
-it is Being taken in its temporality
-it is the prove of the common existence, it is the prove that human beings are, on a deep level, the victims of likenesses
-”in its very Being, it is that Being is an issue for it”-what Heidegger meant is not so difficult for one to grasp: the essence of human being is to put questions on the way in which he/she relates himself/herself with others and with the world

A Polish Dialect
It is about Goralski (highlander) dialect. It is spoken in the mountainous areas bordering Czech and Slovak Republics. It has some cultural influences from the Vlach shepherds who migrated from Southern Romania during 14th-17th centuries. The language of the coextensive East Slavic ethnic group, the Lemkos, which demonstrates significant lexical and grammatical commonality with Goralski dialect, bears no significant Vlach or other Romanian influences.
Dog’s Senses
Smell sense: the most developed of all its senses, used to identify the surroundings, those of its kind, people and other animals (smell is associated with dog’s hearing and sight, which play a secondary role). Smell is used to locate and follow their owners, to follow tracks, chase a prey and locate a female in heat, even when she is kilometers away.
Dog’s sight: they are capable of distinguishing colors, have a very sophisticated visually capacity (especially when it comes to night vision). In some breeds, when the nasal passage is long and narrow, the visual range of the dog is of 180 degrees.
Dog’s sense of hearing: it is its second sense, it is 4 times more powerful than man’s. Even if the sound has been produced 25 meters away, dog is capable of hearing something very neatly. Combined with smell, it serves as a substitute for the third sense, when this one lacks, in orientation.
Dog’s sense of touch: its skin has an erectile muscle (that’s why its hair gets prickly or sticks up sometimes). The animal is very sensitive to caressing and hitting.
Dog’s sense of taste: the least studied of all the dog’s senses (the number of taste buds that a dog has is inferior to ours, they have to use their sense of smell to see if the food they are about to taste is good or not).
Euthanizing a Fish
It is a problem. When you have an aquarium and fishes that can no longer survive because of a certain disease, you must euthanize them. But how, in what way can you do it, in order to be done humanely? First, anesthesize the fish with clove oil (used usually as a toothache remedy, and in French, Czech, Sri Lankan cuisines as one of the ingredients in synthetic vanilla and perfumes). Second, introduce a clear grain alcohol like vodka to ensure the fish will not wake up.

Duck’s Copulation
Drakes (male ducks) have balls and penis. There is a tremendous anatomical variation in the male phallus. Some researchers try to discover the consequences of this. The female reproductive tract, called oviduct/ vagina, is usually a simple tube, but in some waterfowl, the tube has unique sacs and spirals. The sacs are outpocketings in the sides of the tube that are just inside the oviduct opening. Brennan, a researcher, points out that “They appear to function as ‘dead-ends,’ or false passages. If the phallus were to enter one of these sacs, it would not progress further into the oviduct where it would deposit sperm more effectively.”
In the tubular oviduct there is a series of tight, clock-wise spirals. The male phallus is also a spiral, but it twists in the counter-clock-wise direction, that’s why the twists in the oviduct appear designed to exclude the opposing twisting of the male phallus. Moreover, the number of sacs and spirals in the reproductive tract of various female waterfowl correlates strongly with the length of the male phallus. The genitalia of males and females have dynamically co-evolved (in various separate duck lineages, females developed more elaborate oviducts as males developed longer phalluses-as the phallus evolved toward smaller size, females lost oviduct complexity). Why? In order to block male attempts at reproductive control. So more elaborate phalluses have selected for improved means of excluding them, and vice versa.

Listening to…part III
“Listening to MP3 players with headphones that produce harmful volumes can harmfully affect hearing. Because the noise is much closer to the ear, the hair cells of the inner ear have a greater chance of becoming injured. Damaged hair cells, which turn sound into electrochemical signals to the brain, cannot be regrown or restored with surgical treatment. Studies show that iPod users have experienced hearing loss. No more than an hour of listening is recommended per day, over-the-ear headphones should be used, and turning down the volume will help keep listeners safe from harmful decibel levels. Over 28 million Americans suffer from hearing loss, and nearly half are younger than 65.”
Conclusion: avoid using too much your MP3 player/ iPOD, you can find other means in order not to feel the boredom. And if you’re such an avid listener, buy some speakers and forget about parental advice…it’s better than the loss of hearing. It’s a pity, and each person has her/his own reasons to believe that it’s a pity.
