What does this map show?
A close call!

๐Ÿ’ก The map was about the Human Development Index (HDI) [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_Development_Index]. The most developed countries are found in North America, Western Europe, East Asia, Australia and the Middle East.

If you thought it was about education youโ€™re not too far off. Education tends to be of better quality in developed countries โ€“ or are countries more developed thanks to good education? Whatever, the two strongly correlate (=closely connected, cause each other). Yes, but some Middle Eastern countries are quite rich even without high-quality education. But how would anyone measure education quality anyway?
#4 Travel Notes: Culinary journey to ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡ฒArmenia

โ–ถ๏ธ New country, new food! Okay, I didnโ€™t try all of these but which one would you like to try? I have three foods and three drinks for you:

1. Khinkali โ€“ dumplings filled with meat or cheese or both or other stuff. You hold them at the knob of dough which you shouldnโ€™t eat.
2. Cheese bags โ€“ made of cheese with a cheese string and a cheese filling.
3. Chicken feet โ€“ I thought only Chinese people were into that.
4. Cones compote โ€“ something different!
5. Tesla โ€“ Armeniaโ€™s favourite energy drink.
6. Fizzy basil drink โ€“ why are Uzbeks doing so little with all their basil?

#26 Know Your World: Logical fallacies

โ–ถ๏ธ We all hate them โ€“ people who use stupid and illogical arguments when we quarrel (=fight, have an argument) with them. Get to know what logical fallacies (=false beliefs) there are and catch these people to make the world a more logical place!
