It is now commonly accepted that collectively, our brain works by utilizing billions of neural inter-connections along an almost infinite variety of pathways to manage our intellectual capacities. The more inter-connections we have, the better or more efficiently our brains perform functions like solving problems or developing creative thought. Scientists know, but can’t explain exactly how the process works, but if you study mathematics, your musical ability improves. If you read extensively your ability to develop new physical skills or artistic abilities is augmented. This being so, we can therefore literally make ourselves “smarter” by increasing the quantities of inter-connections in our brain.

But how exactly do we go about improving our mental ability? By strengthening one or more areas of our brain which are lesser developed. If you’re an avid reader, study art. If you love all things musical, increment your nature studies. Are you an athlete? Increase your music appreciation and other areas of intellectual prowess will follow. It may sound strange and illogical, but it works. Here are six of the nine strongest “intelligences” and how they influence personality, character and ability. Note how each one can be strengthened and expanded using simple activities practiced on a regular basis.

One of the happiness in life for the young at heart is the presence of Disney specials. Generally speaking, these are discounts, giveaways and other extra treats provided for by the Disney management to encourage more people to patronize their theme parks, resorts and attractions.

However, these Disney World package deals may not come to your attention as fast, as easy and as convenient as you want them to be. After all, you cannot spend your time constantly scouring the news, looking at the official company website and asking around for the deals, discounts and specials available. It will not make you happy, not even with the thought that you will be going to the happiest place on Earth.

Here are strategies proven to getting the best of the best in Disney specials. Choose one or combine everything for maximum effect, if it is possible to do so.

Purchase an Annual Pass

An annual pass presents many opportunities to save money on your vacation. Of course, there are certain circumstances in which the annual pass is best applied for. As an example, it is best to apply for the annual pass when you intend to stay for 10 or more days at the Walt Disney World Resort for more than once annually.

You will be able to avail of discounts on the rooms for up to 45 percent off the regular rates, in addition to discounts on tours, recreation, merchandise and dining options. Only one in your party needs to be an annual pass cardholder in order to secure the generous room discounts. Keep in mind, however, that the annual pass also demands doing your math and research. You want to be able to determine the savings with and without the pass especially in the case of once-in-a-lifetime Disney specials.

Rent DVC Points

DVC stands for Disney Vacation Club, which the company's take on the popular timeshare program of resort companies. Needless to say, the timeshare units in Disney are definitely the most enjoyable in the relaxation industry or Disney resorts are not the happiest places on Earth. Plus, your family will definitely appreciate the amenities of each unit including a fully-furnished kitchen.

The beauty of the DVC is that you need not own a unit since you can always rent it. There are two ways to do so: First, you can rent a unit directly from Disney although this is often on a very limited basis. Second, you may rent a unit from the owner with the added advantage that the rental fee is often at half of what you would have spent had you went for the first option.

Both of these options can be considered as Walt Disney World specials in many ways. You will also be qualified for a few special treats such as access to Magical Express transportation and Disney's Dining Plan, to name a few.

Anybody can avail of the Disney specials. It just takes a little bit of imagination, information and ingenuity along with the professional services of a specialized travel site.

Each time the polls drop in popularity of Barrack Obama we find the bloggers and media does a story on the strength of the polls for the Obama campaign. All I can think of is wow, Barrack Obama has sure lost some of his dominance. I had not expected his media-made "rock-star" popularity to have declined so feverishly. But the Democrats are having that big shin-dig in Denver, so that might help his image some more if he delivers another well orchestrated and well written speech from his handlers.

Indeed, I find the pre-celebration of President Obama, quite telling of the current entitled generation, who will not wait for the process to complete. Political races are not set in stone this early on. But congratulations to your candidate and your hard work to prop-up his name through your blogging online.

Are you really concerned about the polls of a certain mass-media-made "celebrity" candidate, or are you concerned about the future and well being of our nation? Those who favor Obama say that the Republican Brand is diminished. Okay, that's a fair assessment, I agree that the media has severely hurt the Republican Brand, and as more and more of our citizenry surrender their minds to the TV set, we can expect a decline in popularity of the party.

However, every once in a while a "black swan" event comes along and wakes everyone up again to the reality of human civilizations and returns things to reality. That's my take on it through my study of human history. "We do live in interesting times" and yes, that's a good thing.
