Types of intelligences: An infographic
I think I have a leaning towards linguistic, interpersonal, intrapersonal, visual-spatial and bodily-kinesthetic intelligences, what about you?

Ever wondered what passes between pups in canine conversations…the genius illustrator/artist Iain Welch demystifies it for you here…
Spelling mistakes matter, especially on TV
Who knows if this typo was on purpose or accidental. It certainly adds some magic and hillarity to an otherwise serious news program. From ABC News Australia.
“There is no better deliverance from the world than through Art; and no surer method of linking oneself to the world than by it.”
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Animal tracks
This octopus shows her supreme intelligence
They may look different to us but they are incredibly intelligent as this video proves. Please don’t eat them.
It is never too late to turn on the light. Your ability to break an unhealthy habit or turn off an old tape doesn’t depend on how long it has been running; a shift in perspective doesn’t depend on how long you’ve held on to the old view. When you flip the switch in that attic, it doesn’t matter whether its been dark for ten minutes, ten years or ten decades. The light still illuminates the room and banishes the murkiness, letting you see the things you couldn’t see before. Its never too late to take a moment to look.
Sabbatical goes to China’s fake European towns
Imagine if you will a sort of anti-vlogger. That is – a person who visits a foreign country and is respectful of customs to the point of learning to speak the local language in order to communicate with locals. This is the sort of extreme commitment that Sabbatical goes to each time he goes to a country. His vlogs are not ultra-edited with annoying fast cuts, stupid music special effects either, it’s just him talking and being friendly, respectful and polite in variety of countries. This time he visits China’s fake Paris and fake English countryside towns. I’ve always been fascinated with fake places like this. In other episodes he goes to Morocco. People he meets in China and Morocco were impressed by his language abilities – he is very humble about it all. A great one to subscribe to.

Looks incredible! I’m going to give them a go
The hidden power of rituals in our lives
‘So much of our lives is dictated by forces β economic, political, physiological, ecological β over which we have little control. Ritual, on the other hand, gives us all a powerful tool for helping to shape and reshape our lives, says Bradd Shore, a psychological anthropologist who has spent a career studying the phenomenon.
βMy surprising conclusion is that ritual is perhaps the most powerful tool in the human toolkit that is largely under local control,β Shore says.”‘

I found the cartoon illustration on multiple intelligences particularly engaging. It’s somewhat ironic that during my early school years, my teachers dismissed me as someone unlikely to succeed. Contrary to their predictions, I entered college a year early and although I faced similar predictions from college professors, I achieved far more than many of my peers.

I’m a lot like you: linguistic, interpersonal, intrapersonal, and bodily-kinesthetic, but not sure about spatial — if anything I’ve developed it out of necessity (i.e. parallel parking, playing pool, learning to paint, etc).
TACOS!

Yes hehe it’s easy to see which ones you are isn’t it. I’m sort of the same with spatial too, in some ways incredibly coordinated but in other ways very clumsy. It’s weird isn’t it? Maybe clumsiness is a result of tiredness I seem to only ever hurt myself when I’m really tired.
Thank you for your comment dear Lani
