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!

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.
Martyred Intellectuals Memorial (Bengali: বুদ্ধিজীবি স্মৃতি সৌধ) is a memorial built in memory of the martyred intellectuals of Bangladesh Liberation War. The memorial, located at Rayerbazar, Mohammadpur Thana in Dhaka, was designed by architect Farid U Ahmed and Jami Al Shafi. The initial proposal for a memorial at Rayer Bazar was brought forward by Projonmo 71 (organisation of the children of the martyrs of liberation war), who also laid a temporary foundation stone in 1991.

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 😉.

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.

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.
“Rebel Sparrow is a harmless and calm bird, but in moments of danger and injustice, a threat to society, she is a small urban revolutionary! Having escaped the cage of authoritarianism, she fluttered to freedom,” explains Konstantin Skritutsky.
Сквер київських інтелігентів – одна з найкреативніших столичних пам'яток. Головна особливість парку – скульптури бронзових птахів, кожен із яких ототожнює певний образ представників інтелігенції.

Скульптура Ворона – це людина, яка має розважливість і виваженість. Образ інтелігента, що прагне до свободи, виражає Горобець, що сидить на клітці зі зламаними прутами.
"Бунтар Горобець птах нешкідливий і спокійний, але в хвилини небезпеки та несправедливості, загрози для суспільства — маленький міський революціонер! Вирвавшись із клітки авторитаризму, він випурхнув на волю", — пояснює скульптор Костянтин Скритуцький.
«Сквер Київських інтелігентів був створений у 2013 році. Головною його особливістю є незвичайні скульптури птахів, що символізують сучасну столичну інтелігенцію, а саме: горобець, який виривався із клітки, рибалочка з тростиною під крилом (атрибут джентльменів минулих століть), сова та крук із циліндром на голові (він же ворон у капелюсі). Автор роботи – скульптор Костянтин Скритуцький.
Скульптура горобця була встановлена після Євромайдану та символізує інтелігентів, котрі проявляють свій бойовий дух, сором’язлива рибалочка символізує, що в наш час інтелігенція стає видом, що вимирає, сова ж сама по собі є дуже розумним птахом і загальноприйнятим символом мудрості, а от крук взагалі вважається однією з найрозумніших істот на планеті, подивіться хоча б відео в інтернеті, як крук виконує завдання, котрі потребують неабиякої кмітливості.
Крім скульптур на території скверу є багато зелених насаджень, лавки, ліхтарі, дитячий і спортивний майданчики та цікава лавка у формі книг.
Навколо скверу є мурал-мозаїка від того самого Костянтина Скритуцького, трешовий мурал від польського художника Zbiok, сюрреалістичний мурал від Dima Fatum, один із наших улюблених муралів «Час змін» та досить незвичайний пам’ятник Пантелеймону Кулішу.»

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.

Wine is the intellectual part of a meal while meat is the material
Wein ist der geistige Teil einer Mahlzeit, das Fleisch ist das Material.
To me both, a meal without any intellectual joy or without the 'meat' of the right ingredients is unthinkable.... it definitely takes both! Enjoy - A votre Santé.

Rayer Bazar Boddho Bhumi:
Rayer Bazaar is a well-known thoroughfare in Dhaka, the capital city of Bangladesh. It is generally regarded as one of the historical areas of the city. Rayer Bazaar was founded during the colonial period most probably in the 19th century. It was the potters who first started to live here beside the Turag River. This Place was most probably named after someone titled Ray. It was easy to find the clays used to make pots in this area and spread it around by boats as it was situated near the river
Address
Rayer Bazaar Bodhdhobhumi is located in Mohammadpur near Beribadh area in Dhaka District. This area is mainly an extension of the Turag River. The Martyred Intellectuals Memorial was established here in 14 December 1993 by ex Prime Minister Begum Khaleda Zia.
'Faith is not an intellectual thing.
It's a feeling.
You don't have to believe.
You only have to have the intent to believe.
You cannot will yourself to faith, but once you've removed the obstructions,
faith will be there
because it's a natural part of your being'
