I saw myself an intellectual
I thought that I was capable
Every move was just habitual
And life was just a ritual
The nature of your mind will be biased towards intellectualism, and you will be attracted towards the realm of ideas, expressing a creative and questioning curiosity plus the ability to understand the variety of answers that you discover from various sources. Your mind will tend to be analytical; and you are likely to be attracted towards work which involves enquiry, research or teaching. You have the ability to intuit an underlying, synthesising cohesive meaning within the varied knowledge you acquire; and this can be shared with others. Your mind will be penetrative and perceptive, often seeing through the appearances of things into their essential components; and new ideas and thinking will certainly hold fascination for you. The fact that you also have a vivid and creative imagination can help you to make new and interesting connections linking your knowledge into new patterns implying new understanding, perceptions and directions. In your personal relationships, you tend to be straight and direct; and apart from expecting the same form others, you are unlikely to forget any who seem to live by lower standards and choose to be less honest in their contacts with you. Trust and honesty are very important to you; and you require both in any partnership.
This intellectual pig is for you (not that im saying you remind me of a pig ah heheh). Whenever I see pink, it reminds me of you. Unfortunately, this is the only pink toy we have at home hehe. Not only that, Pork-pork (his name) also wears a sash and a medal from U.P and he studies for graduate school. In short, he is your toy animal counterpart hehehe..
Anyway, my flickr nanay is also my bestest buddy here. We haven’t met personally, but I already consider her as one of the sweetest, warmest, and most thoughtful people I have ever known. You are so lucky if you are her friend. Thanks for the friendship G!
Also for the UnExplored weekly assignment.
this is the very first image I had taken with my little Fuji pocket digital camera back in 2003 of the ice bridge that had formed between the Canadian and American Falls, as usual when the sun shines there is always a rainbow. Sorry about the poor quality those first digital cameras were not as sophisticated as the ones we have these days.

Indeed, chess played a significant role in the cultural and intellectual life of the Ottoman Empire. The game's popularity extended across different social classes, and its strategic nature made it a valuable tool for military training and intellectual development.
The use of chess as a means of military education is noteworthy, as it reflects the recognition of the game's ability to enhance strategic thinking and planning. The Ottomans integrated chess into the curriculum of military academies, providing officers with a practical and enjoyable way to develop their strategic skills.
The artistic and cultural aspects of Ottoman chess sets highlight the intersection of chess with the broader artistic traditions of the time. The intricate designs and motifs inspired by Islamic art and architecture not only added aesthetic value to the chess sets but also showcased the cultural richness of the Ottoman Empire.
The existence of manuscripts and treatises on chess from the Ottoman period underscores the intellectual engagement with the game. These works not only discussed strategies and rules but also delved into the cultural and philosophical dimensions of chess. Such writings contributed to the broader intellectual heritage of the Ottoman Empire.
The widespread popularity of chess, evident in its presence in various social settings, from the courts of the sultans to coffeehouses, reflects its accessibility to people from different walks of life. The local variations and adaptations of the game over time further demonstrate its dynamic evolution within the Ottoman cultural context.
Overall, the history of chess in the Ottoman Empire is a fascinating chapter that highlights the multifaceted role of the game in shaping intellectual, artistic, and military aspects of society during that period.

10/27/20...Today, after having seen numerous posts on Instagram, condemning life in America, I gave thought to those posting...all Artists...all with intelligence or at least an education (I think)...and yet they have no concept of reality...the reality for the people they supposedly champion. For like me, they are living a life that others only dream of...all the creature comforts are there for us...and we have too much time to think...way too much time. So, with all my free time, I decided to research the word Intellectual...all the definitions I found were bullshat😉...probably crafted by intellectuals😂. The only things that matter are shelter, fire, water, air, food...and we have senselessly killed each other since the dawn of man.
I believe I have found the enemy 😉.

A close-up of a mystical lacquered tiger's eye, hyper-detailed and reflective, showing intricate mother-of-pearl inlay patterns swirling within the iris geometric floral motifs, traditional Korean cloud curves, and shimmering crescent moons. The tiger’s eye glows softly with iridescent highlights pale blue, violet, and gold capturing both wisdom and ancient memory. The surrounding fur is made of nacre scales, finely patterned and glowing faintly in ambient moonlight. Photorealistic rendering, shallow depth of field, surreal but poetic tone

The Square of Kyiv Intellectuals is one of the most creative sights of the capital. The main feature of the park is bronze bird sculptures, each of which identifies a certain image of representatives of the intelligentsia.
Kyiv sculptor Konstantin Skritutsky depicted the urban intellectual in the form of a bronze kingfisher - a bird that stands on a concrete pedestal with a cane under its wing, bowing its head. It would be happy to fly away to warmer lands, but it has become so accustomed to it that cannot do this - it’s a shame...
“As for me, this image best symbolizes the Kyiv intelligentsia. By its nature, the kingfisher is a very shy bird - it constantly hides its head under its wing, as if it were ashamed of everything that happens around. With my work I want to show that from the general callousness and inertia, the Kyiv intelligentsia has become an endangered species, which is time to be included in the Red Book. But the intelligentsia exists, and it should actively manifest itself in all public affairs. This is a kind of friendly cartoon that should make the intellectual think," - the sculptor is convinced.
Сквер київських інтелігентів – одна з найкреативніших столичних пам'яток. Головна особливість парку – скульптури бронзових птахів, кожен із яких ототожнює певний образ представників інтелігенції.
Київський скульптор Костянтин Скритуцький зобразив міського інтелігента у вигляді бронзового зимородка — птаха, який стоїть на бетонному постаменті з тростиною під крилом, схиливши голову. Він би й радий полетіти в теплі краї, та так прижився, що не може цього зробити — соромно...
"Як на мене, то цей образ найкраще символізує київську інтелігенцію. За своїм характером зимородок дуже сором'язлива пташка — постійно ховає голову під крило, ніби їй соромно за все, що відбувається довкола. Своєю роботою я хочу показати, що від загальної бездушності та інертності київська інтелігенція стала вимираючим видом, який час занести до Червоної книги. Але інтелігенція є, і вона має себе активно проявляти у всіх суспільних справах. Це свого роду дружній шарж, який має змусити інтелігента замислитись”, - переконаний скульптор.
У сквері розмістилися Сова, Ворон, Зимородок та Горобець. Автор хотів показати, що інтелігенція на сьогоднішній день є видом, що вимирає. Так, скульптура Зимородка символізує сумлінного та скромного інтелігента. Сова (символ знань) відображає образ киян, зайнятих науковою діяльністю. Скульптура Ворона – це людина, яка має розважливість і виваженість. Образ інтелігента, що прагне до свободи, виражає Горобець, що сидить на клітці зі зламаними прутами.

I regret very much that I was not able to overhear what these two highly intelligent creatures were talking about...
Sulphur-crested Cockatoos.in Gariwerd National Park.
" The Tree bumblebee is a relatively new arrival to the UK... It was first recorded here in 2001 and is slowly spreading north throughout the country...It can now be found in much of England and Wales and has reached Southern Scotland...It is associated with open woodland, so is commonly found in gardens that have a similar type of habitat...It nests in cavities, such as old birds' nests, bird boxes, or roof spaces...It visits a wide range of flowers, particularly those of soft fruits, such as raspberries and blackberries...It emerges from hibernation early in the spring, around February or early March...Males are seen in late May and June, and adults can still be seen in late autumn if nests have a second generation..."

Update June 18: Won THIRD PLACE (8 points)
Sky looked around his three friends as they sat on the sofa staring into nothingness.
“What is going on?” He asked as he sat beside Barnaby.
“I am thinking.” Replied Barnaby with a smile.
“Really, that is unusual.” Said Sky looking surprised.
“Yes, it is.” Said Barnaby still smiling.
“You normally leave the thinking to ineffectuals like me.” Said Sky proudly. “What were you thinking about?”
Sky saw both Posh and Bertie smile as they listened to the conversation.
“I was thinking, what should I think about.” Said Barnaby proudly.
“What had you deluded from your think, Barnaby?” Asked Sky who liked using long words to confuse other bears.
“Nothing, Sky, no nothing at all… yet.” Barnaby replied.
“I should not worry, Barnaby, for even us ineffectuals can’t think what to think about at times.” Said Sky.
“Is that so, Sky, well I must be well on the way to becoming a genius, just like yourself.”
“Well, maybe, but I feel you still have a way to go young Barnaby. Being a genius like what I am, well that takes age, as well as cleverness. It is only when you have equal quantities of each that a bear can become a true genius.” Said Sky nodding his head in agreement with himself.
“I see, so how many sleeps are equal to however you measure cleverness, Sky?” Asked Barnaby looking excited by this intellectual discussion.
“Well, more than three, Barnaby, I know that because I can count to three. I am not sure what comes after that.”
“Ah, so to become a genius then Sky, a bear does not have to count any further than three?” Asked Barnaby.
“No, I think not. After all, what is the point? When one can count up to three, a bear can do that three times, and I do not suppose there are any numbers that are more than that.”
“That is encouraging, Sky. I had not thought of it that way.” Said Barnaby smiling at his hero.
“No, I do not suppose you would young Barnaby, it takes a genius like what I am to work things out like that. A true ineffectual genius.” Said Sky proudly.
