It can be said that understanding children is no child’s play. If you’re a parent struggling with your toddler behaviour problems, Nurture Parenting is just the thing for you.
More shots from last Saturday at Barnes. This Little Grebe with one of his chicks was so happy to pose for us. He even seemed to be trying to communicate with us by nodding...
In this shot he was nodding towards Gary (ggwildlife)
InnerBody is the interactive installation where visitors are invited to interact with the human-heart shaped interface and take a fake medical examination. The visitors experience stressful multisensory environments and life-threatening diagnosis as antecedents of death anxiety to provoke positive consequences such as enhanced life meaning. The research outcomes related to use of multisensory interfaces to change user behavior have been accepted for publication in The Leonardo Journal.

Governments around the world are drawing on behavioural insights to improve public policy outcomes: from automatic enrolment for pensions, to better tax compliance, to increasing the supply of organ donation.
But those very same policy makers are also subject to biases that can distort decision making. The Behavioural Insights Team has been studying those biases and what can be done to counter them, in collaboration with Jill Rutter and Julian McCrae of the Institute for Government.
The report was launched with remarks from Alex Chisholm, Permanent Secretary at the Department for Business, Energy, and Industrial Strategy.
Dr Michael Hallsworth, Director of the Behavioural Insights Team in North America presented the key findings.
The findings, their relevance to policy making today, and what they mean for the way governments make decisions were discussed by:
Polly Mackenzie, Director of Policy for the Deputy Prime Minister, 2010–15 and now Director of Demos
Dr Tony Curzon Price, Economic Advisor to the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy.
The event was chaired by Jill Rutter, Programme Director at the Institute for Government.

Taken at Utrecht Central Railway Station. Just take a few minutes to watch what all these people are doing! Find an explanation of this photo on philosophybytheway.blogspot.com/2024/08/passing-and-waiti...
A bit of a shaded area especially with the sun low in the sky at this time of year but a great setting none the less.
Cromwell Bottom Nature Reserve.
Second of two similar shots.
Taken after the Harlot talk/pub, but before midnight, April 1st 2008 as part of "inexplicable knitter behaviour" day.
I swear I heard Steph say "anyone who ignored the 'horse' part, and mounts a police officer: automatic first place in the freestyle category".
I fled the bar in search of an obliging man in blue. Couldn't find any cops roaming the street, but remembered this one at the Police Union on College.
We approached with caution... is mounting a police statue a crime? We only had a chance to snap two quick photos before a security vehicle drove by and beeped at us!
But I think he looks very fetching with my GoKnit pouch on his wrist, don't you...? :)

Just a minute later he (the shopowner) graped the doll between the legs to carry her inside for closingtime

Bad Behavior from Preston describe themselves as a six piece “balls to the wall” glam rock extravaganza and that pretty much sums this band up in a nutshell. The last competitive band of the competition and good lord, what a way to finish! Looking every part the Glam Rockers resplendent in their colourful outfits and make up, but it was really the front man, Phil Bailey, who not only took centre stage but looked the most avant garde a he did his level best to be the consummate front man. With three guitars on stage, the vocals were sometimes overwhelmed especially during 'Born To Party' but it was still a good performance overall. The bands cover was Alice Coopers' 'Man Behind the Mask', and although not one of the famous Cooper songs, it was nevertheless a good cover by the band. Bailey is predictably theatrical here which ties in very well with the bands image and although this is a proper band with serious musicians, there's nothing in the book saying that you can’t do it without planting your tongue firmly in your cheek! Their final number 'Apocalypse Now' was the best of the set with its great guitar riff that has the place jumping on and off stage. As the song reached its climax Bailey announced "This is the end!" and as the curtain falls on their performance, the band are greeted with generous applause as they take their final bows. What a great way to end the competition!

Our friend Sarjemama seems to have really gone overboard with those colourful statues! There were so many, and with my agnostic bent, I even lost track of what the scenes were depicting. The board in the foreground says, Please do not touch the statues, and do not climb on the statue base'. (Pune/ Poona, July 2007)
(Freestyle - Canada at large, Vancouver) Typical scene in downtown Vancouver - yellow rent-a-fence & construction crane. One of the (many!) sites of the Canada Line construction - a new SkyTrain line, in preparation for the 2010 Olympics. (This site is on Granville Street, a half-block from a Timmy's, to give it that much more CanCon)

I found these two Common Blues hard at it in the long grass at the old brick yard by the Walrow Fishing ponds..they were joined together for ages..Well over twenty minutes! The female seemed to be pulling the male around and around the grass head..I was a little faint with excitement and had to smoke a rollie when they finally pulled apart!

One of the spectacles of the British winter is the roosting behaviour of starlings (Sterna vulgaris). We stayed to watch them during last week's visit to Siverdale (RSPB Leighton Moss); and the light had nearly gone when they started to come in.
Unfortunately we didn't have the wheeling airborne flocks that we've seen there before, but huge flocks started to come in to the valley from all sides, but mostly kept low and dropped into the reeds. The sound got louder and louder, and still they came until the light was so poor that we couldn't make them out. The RSPB says around 30,000 come in to roost. My own limited observations would put this a little higher. How many can you see here? Now look at the photo large and look at the green field on the right - it can hardly be seen for the black mass in front of it!
