Fifty years ago, my parents traveled to the Caucasian Mineral Waters. The mountains, the narzans, the clear air, and the long walks... Apparently, this is where my story began. Back then, I was a rather microscopic creature with a tail, but I was probably quite fast. According to biology, the fertilizing speed of a sperm cell is around 25 meters per second. This means that I was swimming much faster back then than I am now. Half a century has passed, and I have returned to these places, but not as a life force, but as a person with experience, a well-established destiny, and thousands of kilometers of water behind me. I have returned to swim again. However, this time it's not about swimming in millimeters, but in meters, and it's not about pushing competitors for survival, but about mastering the techniques of the front crawl and butterfly. But it's still about speed! It's as if the first start I made here half a century ago has been rekindled. There's something symbolic about it. Once upon a time, I fought for the right to be born, and now I'm fighting for the right to be faster than myself.
Interestingly, a year ago, I was swimming faster in terms of seconds. However, this time it's different - it's lighter, more meaningful, and without excessive tension or pushing myself to the limit. It's as if returning to the starting point doesn't require proof, but rather requires acceptance of oneself.
The Caucasian Mountains seem to be the same. The air seems to be as clear as ever. In this clarity, it becomes particularly evident that life is not a linear progression but a series of returns. Sometimes, it's a return to the roots, and sometimes, it's a return to oneself.
p.s. This essay is not about "I won," but rather about "I understood." It's about the state where the outcome aligns with the strategy, whereas usually, the strategy justifies the outcome. However, this time, it's not just about a successful start, but rather about realizing that speed is attainable without excessive exertion, marking the beginning of my preparation for the 2027 World Championships. It's also significant that this happened in the place where my life may have begun.
Skin and venereal diseases are among the oldest diseases of mankind that have accompanied humans at all stages of evolution. It is worth noting that the oldest example of medical literature, namely a clay tablet with a Sumerian text found in Nippur (in modern Iraq), tells about the treatment of skin diseases. After tens of thousands of years, I want to talk and write about skin and venereal diseases.
The invention relates to the field of pharmaceuticals and biology and represents a method for obtaining a viable heterogeneous population of skin cells, which includes taking a skin biopsy at a depth of ...
The creation of fertile innovative ecological environment in the country is constrained by barriers of a conceptual nature. The article identifies four groups of such barriers. The authors propose a strategy for overcoming them based on a comparison of functions necessary for the innovative development of social practices and the natural mechanisms of a new life birth. This allows us to formulate a number of pragmatic recommendations for creating an innovative eco-environment for a wide range of industries. By analogy with natural dynamics of obstetrics, the approach is called placental
Keywords: Innovation, innovation infrastructure, acceleration, eco-environment, placenta, development.
Surprisingly, there are 14 years between these books. That's exactly how long Leo Tolstoy felt one cycle of human maturation constitutes. He had an almost intimate idea of dividing life into periods—conditional periods in which, every fourteen years, a person reaches a new level of understanding.
If, putting aside excessive modesty (briefly and strictly for scientific purposes), we apply this logic to ourselves, a curious picture emerges.
