I'm interested in Arts, including drawing (click here for the evidence that I'm trying), painting, computer-assisted graphics or just simply in watching photos and artworks of various style ([|and to post some of them in my blog]). I'm also interested in music, my listening habits slightly avoiding the edges of addiction:) My favourites are Swans ,Brand New, Neurosis, Isis, 65daysofstatic, Explosions In The Sky, City of Caterpillar, Thy Catafalque, etc. Although I like the avant-garde, experimental and post-rock genres, I also listen to bands like YeahYeahYeahs, Moby, Morcheeba, Massive Attack and so on. Besides, I'm a huge fan of blues and jazz. I'd mention two of my favourite books: //Crime and Punishment// by Fyodor Dostoevsky and //The Name Of The Rose// by Umberto Eco. I'm not really into movies, but I like the works of Darren Aronofsky, especially the ones entitled //Pi// and //Black Swan//. As a person, I'm schizoid a bit-well, I try to compensate it with being as tolerant as I can with everyone:)

//Source: [|transcript of ELSI multimedia video]// The progress made by the researchers in the field of genetic information was huge, especially in the past years. Nowadays the technology is open for innovative projects, such as the one known 'The Human Genom Project'. This allows a wide scale of opportunities in the healing, treating and also a spell out of potential diseases. However, offering great new horizons, the project also leads to some serious ethical, social and legal problems which are waiting to be discussed. The main ethical issues related to this topic is a direct consequence of the fact that our knowledge about genetics is limited. There are still too many questions without answer, still too many process with unpredictable results. Can we trust in our knowledge when we are talking about predictable diseases, some of them without cure? Besides, our healthcare should not be turned into some kind of business act- those 'genetic report cards' mentioned in the video would have a great influence upon health insurance companies.

 * Activity 1**

Sometimes listening could be a huge problem even in a conversation in your mothertongue. You are so obsessed with your own problems, so self-absorbed, or you are trying to stay focused but your mind is playing tricks on you. Listening presumes not only a certain level of self-control but also an average or higher level of emotional intelligence; some people simply have a very low interpersonal intelligence. In the case of foreign speakers, the whole issue is getting greater. Besides speaking, I find listening the most difficult part of learning a foreign language. English is particularly difficult in comparison with other languages because there are so many accents, it's really hard to stay connected with a speaker with a Yorkshire accent, for example.

Week 10
The picture I choose shows a caring gesture. We can see two different person’s hand, one of them is probably young, the other one is older. The older person’s hand is gently holded by the younger one, this gesture may refer to the act of taking care, it may suggest devotion. In my opinion, this gesture is essentially important; we should show our respect and love towards people close to our hearts. Sometimes it could be hard, it may seem that to love is to be vulnerable, but we should not run the risk of losing someone. In contrast, here is another picture:
 * Activity: picture descriptions**

In this one, we can recognize a bossy attitude. Being bossy not necessarily means that we have to arrogant, too...but in fact, in most of the cases, arrogance and bossy attitude walk hands in hands. This attitude is mostly depends on the type of personality you are, how calm you are, how do you deal with self-control, etc. On the first picture, the gesture may suggest that ’here I am, even though sometimes I’m unsufferable, I put aside my pride because I care for you’.
