"Cognitive therapy seeks to alleviate psychological stresses by correcting faulty conceptions and self-signals." - Aaron T. Beck (via Twitter twitter.com/kimfishercbt/status/716664407372271616)
The fire behaviour triangle illustrates the key variables that affect how a wildfire behaves (Countryman 1966). Anything that burns is fuel, mainly live and dead vegetative material. Weather influences fire through the effects of wind, air temperature, precipitation, and relative humidity. Topography can directly influence the speed of fires and the type and condition of the fuel. Together, these variables determine the behaviour (speed, direction, and flame characteristics), and intensity of a fire.

In a city you can see wild stuff =)
I did not dare take the picture from the front, because who knows what a person might do to you who hangs the laundry in a public park - which, by the way, has been a cemetery!!

Maxims of Behaviour
Alexander Knox
Kinetic light installation, 2008
Royal Mail House, cnr of Bourke & Swanston Sts (Melway ref. 2F, F3)
Maxims of Behaviour plays across the distinctive 10-storey, 1960s’ facade of Royal Mail House. Set among the giant billboards and screens of the south-eastern corner of the Bourke and Swanston Streets, Alexander Knox’s kinetic light work can be seen each winter evening from dusk till late, until 2012.
The work features colourful abstract imagery that moves spectral-like across the façade, transforming the site into a dynamic entity, a living thing that inhabits the area. The imagery is produced from abstracted video footage of the city’s light, colour and movement, and it acts as a mimetic device that echoes and feeds off its surrounds. The installation becomes an integral part of the nightscape, complementing the floodlit surroundings, creating an organic synthesis of movement and light. The title of the work is inspired by Lewis Carroll’s poem ‘Phantasmagoria’, in which the author draws an insightful parallel between ghosts and us.
Some 88 multi-coloured LED lights mounted on the ledges of the building facade are used produce the moving montage of light. This matrix of computer-controlled lights projects onto the surface of the building, with each light effectively acting as a pixel. Each night the average energy consumption is equivalent to running a 2400W small electric heater. The LEDs have a lifespan of 100,000 hours; they are very low maintenance and run on green power.
The City of Melbourne commissioned Alexander Knox to make Maxims of Behaviour as part of its Public Art Program.

For some reason this carder bee rolled over on it back and waved it's legs in the air for a few second. Five of it's legs anyway, it was using the other to hang onto the flower by the stamen. It was as though it was showing off for the camera but I suspect there is a more rational explanation. Anybody got one?

Constant video surveillance doesn't seem effective. How about an electric fence power pack attached to the corrugated iron sheet?
Instinctive behaviour - uses rocks to break open emu eggs, which are too big to crack with its own talons or beak.
All black-breasted buzzards know instinctively how to break open the gigantic size eggs of emus - too big to pick up or break with talons or beak.
They find a stone, pick it up with their beaks, and throw it at the egg until it breaks! This is purely instinctive behavior - it is not taught. Only one other raptor does the same thing - an African raptor who breaks ostrich eggs - even bigger!
Normally it takes between 4 and 6 throws to break the (plaster cast) emu egg.
Beatrice got it in one shot today!
The Black-breasted Buzzard (Hamirostra melanosternon), or Black-breasted Kite, is a large bird of prey in the family Accipitridae and the monotypic genus Hamirostra. Its wing length ranges between 440-500 mm, with females being larger.
t eats rabbits, large lizards, birds and carrion. It will also raid the eggs of ground-nesting birds, breaking large eggs by hurling stones against them with its large beak.
The Black-breasted Buzzard is endemic to Australia (found only there), mainly in the north and in semi-arid and arid central regions. It is rare in eastern, southern coastal or near-coastal mainland.
Habitat
Black-breasted Buzzards are found in lightly timbered plains, open country and tree-lined waterways through inland Australia and in semi-arid or arid regions.
Note : The emu "eggs" are realistic plaster casts - no real emu egg was harmed in this show
