I stumbled upon an article about a research from Oxford University on:
Oxford University scientists found that people associate lower-pitched sounds with larger and more rounded shapes.
Synesthesia: 1. A condition in which one type of stimulation evokes the sensation of another, as when the hearing of a sound produces the visualization of a color.
2. A sensation felt in one part of the body as a result of stimulus applied to another, as in referred pain.
3. The description of one kind of sense impression by using words that normally describe another.
Commentary: Sounds so complicated and need more time to read up to understand. It does sound very interesting!

Commentary: EU voted to ban commercial seal hunting and selling with some exceptions. As we are limiting the Inuit’s way of living, we are doing ourselves disservice cutting sustainability of our food supplies. We are already having issues of over (consuming) therefore its to meet the demand, it will be a contentious issue to cut off or to get furious at seal hunt, in which unless we are Inuits, we would really need some understanding of their landscapes and cultures, before saying they are cruel in their animal hunting.
