The Inuit have over one hundred words for snow, each one is a different noun that is based upon the characteristics of the frozen water crystals. One word might define snow that is good for making igloos, another might define snow that is good for preserving meat. The reason the Inuit language evolved many words for snow when a person of a western mindset will think one word would suffice is that having over one hundred nouns for snow gave the Inuit an advantage.
The Croatian language has evolved three words for Aunt:
Tetka - Aunt that is a blood relative either fathers or mother's side
Strina - (pronounced Streena) Aunt by marriage only (not a blood relative) fathers side of family
Ujna - Aunt by marriage only (not a blood relative) mother's side of family
The reason that the Croatian language has evolved three words to describe the Aunt relationship is to prevent inbreeding. It allows people to know by using their Aunts as a reference point to know whether someone who is a prospective mate is related to you genetically by being able to define that persons relationship or lack of to your Aunt.
Conversely the Croatian language has evolved three words to describe the Uncle relationship.
Tetak - Uncle by marriage (not genetic relative) either side of family. Married to a Tetka.
Stric - (pronounced Streec) - Uncle by blood, fathers side of family. Husband of Strina.
Ujko - Uncle by blood, mothers side of family. Husband of Ujna.
I will be writing my most difficult piece I have ever attempted to write. I will attempt to articulate how to manipulate the variables, that at this moment in time result in you the current person reading my blog post, and how to take control of your own physical and neurological evolution. To be able to understand the future pieces of this series, you have to understand the meaning of the three Croatian words for Aunt on an abstract basis, as all the future pieces in my series will be using the Croatian words. If you can't understand the three Croatian words for Aunt and articulate from an abstract sense their meaning, come back to my blog in a month or so.
I will be sharing my own firsthand experience of what happened to me over the last eighteen months. I learned how to take control of my own body's evolution. If you dare, come back and learn how to play God's Apprentice.

This piece is dedicated as thanks to my friend J-bird. Thank you for all the re-assurance that I have not lost my mind, and the encouragement to be calm and allow Mother Nature to take her altered course.
I also want to thank a special someone who made me aware of a paperless world.
Since I have learned to integrate scanning with my workload, I have achieved immediate efficiency gains that have matched the quality time increase in my life as achieving the strength threshold of two pull ups from the full dead hang.
I suspect that the above mouthful is a proper sentence.
