Happiness depends on warm-heartedness ... liking reading this from the Dalai Lama especially ... To Happiness at World University and School - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Happiness ...
Happiness depends on inner peace, which depends on warm-heartedness. There's no room for anger, jealousy or insecurity. A calm mind and self-confidence are the basis for peaceful relations with others. Scientists have observed that constant anger and fear eat away at our immune system, whereas a calm mind strengthens it. Changing the world for the better begins with individuals creating inner peace within themselves.

Brian Jones (he introduced Jimi on stage at the conert), Jim Morrison(added to the original photo, was not at the concert) and +Jimi Hendrix seem to be sharing a private moment backstage at the Monterey Pop Festival, in June 1967. Ironically, the trio also had the undistinguished honor of being founding members of The 27 Club. More about the, 'exclusive' club - https://goo.gl/uC8gip
Brian Jones of The Rolling Stones, died on July 3rd,1969. Jimi Morrison of The Doors also passed on July 3rd, but in 1971 and Jimi Hendrix left us on September 18th, 1970.
Note: Jim Morrison was 'added' to the original photograph to symbolize the 27 Club. All three musicians died at age 27. The original photo: http://goo.gl/rwC8Ty

Hmmm ... MIT rated as No. 1 "best bang for your buck" ... World University and School seeks to offer free CC degrees - BA/BS, Ph.D., Law and M.D. (and I.B.) in countries' main languages building on best STEM CC OpenCourseWare (e.g. accrediting on CC MIT OCW in 7 languages and CC Yale OYC) ... while also facilitating wiki schools for open teaching and learning (and to the CC OCW) in all 7,097+ languages ... (CC Wikipedia is in ~300 languages, by way of comparison, and CC WUaS (http://worlduniversityandschool.org/) plans to build in the related CC Wikidata database)

It must be understood as the transformation of the lives of ordinary people in the hostels and the ghettos, in the squatter camps, on the farms and in the mine compounds." ~ #NelsonMandela speaking during an address to the Leaders of the Free State Province, South Africa, 17 September 1994 #LivingTheLegacy #MadibaRemembered

To Thinking http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Thinking and Brain_and_Cognitive_Sciences http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Brain_and_Cognitive_Sciences or http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Primatology ? Planned in all 7,943 entries in Glottolog's languages' listings plus more ...
The past few years have had a great deal of research showing extraordinary cognitive abilities in some birds – especially corvids (crows, ravens, jackdaws, and the like) and parrots, who can solve complex puzzles, understand and synthesize language at the level of simple syntax, and display an understanding of object permanence typically reached by humans around age two.
Up to now, there has been a good deal of argument that these are limited tactical skills, usable only in specific contexts but not in general. However, a new review article in Trends in Cognitive Sciences, collecting the results of this wide range of research, seems to show fairly definitively that this is not the case: the same kinds of cognitive abilities show up, over and over in these species, no matter what context they find themselves in. These birds have intelligence comparable to those of some apes.
What's most fascinating about this is that birds' brains are very little like primates'. Most visibly, they have no neocortex at all – that being the large, highly folded section of the brain which we use for most of our complex thinking. Instead, they seem to do their thinking in the pallium, a part of the brain common to almost all vertebrates, but somehow developed differently in these species.
This could well imply that complex intelligence evolved separately in birds and in mammals, not coming from any shared origin. This would suggest that, like vision or locomotion, abstract thought is a powerful general adaptation which may arise in any number of ways.
Among the corvidae, the pressure leading to this has fairly clearly been that of being clever scavengers – not too different from the pressures which likely led to our own development of such tools. This combination of intelligence and opportunism has also made them highly successful in a human-dominated world: the ecosystem we create is full of tasty treats.
