But Lviv is not Europe, and the merits of the ancestors have little to do with its modern inhabitants. You can't move into a flat left by an academic great-grandfather and become an academic yourself. The average Lviv citizen spits on everyone, parks like an asshole, and doesn't care about the condition of his yard, especially if it is impossible to seize it. In general, he is not different from the majority of inhabitants of the former Soviet republics. In order to somehow justify the mess that is going on in the city, the Lviv government has invented the 'rahuli'. They may not have invented them in Lviv, but this is where I first heard the word. In general, the raguli are to blame for all of Lviv's misfortunes.

Seven thoughts that are real health hazards

Who is more likely to pick up infections

An enlightening study was carried out by Danish psychiatrist Johan Beckman, professor of medicine. He compared personality traits with the frequency of common infections. It turned out that the highest risk of getting infected is in people whose personality has certain "dysfunctional" traits. The professor called them "sources of increased susceptibility to infections":

1) Stubbornness and inflexibility of character.

2) Self-mobilisation and constant feelings of guilt.

3) Negative attitudes about themselves and others.

4) Suspiciousness.

5) Vindictiveness and inability to forgive.

6) Vulnerability and hypochondria.

7) Preoccupation and insecurity.

8) Inability to control one's feelings.

9) Instability and aggressiveness.

10) Excessive suggestibility and restrictive behaviour (inability to make one's own decisions).

The meerkat clan




Although the alpha male does the hardest work, the family is actually run by the dominant female. Surikat society is matriarchal, and it is the 'godmother' who decides where the clan will seek food today, whether to punish an inferior female, and even whether the alpha male will be lucky enough to become a father once more.

The head of the family also makes sure that new genes are brought into the clan. Without 'fresh' DNA, mutations will accumulate in the chromosomes of family members and the animals will not be able to adapt quickly to changes in their environment. Therefore, the dominant female, as well as a sentinel, keeps a watchful eye out for a lone male approaching the family. The relatives drive him away, but the "godmother" every now and then slips away to the stray. After 11 weeks, two to five cubs are born, to be raised by the unsuspecting alpha male and the rest of the family.
