Sometimes young animals try things for which they're not biologically equipped. I think climbing trees might be one of those things...for an antelope.
Mum and one of her twins sharing a snuffle hole back in May, both cubs are still around, both surprisingly small although not thin. I saw one of them tonight though and it has a horrible wound above the tail, it's not unusual for them to have gashes and scars on their rumps and necks but it's the worst I've seen. Almost like a big chunk of flesh has been ripped out rather than a cut, it's all open and wet, it looks awful. Dunno what's happening, haven't seen mum for a while but hopefully she's underground with newborn cubs. I can't find out anywhere how long they're supposed to stay underground with the new cubs, mum has to keep them warm for a while I know, I just want to see if she's suckling or not. I don't know if last years cubs are being driven out and attacked, I hope if that's the case they have the sense to leave soon, if that is how the cub got hurt it's obviously getting serious. God, I'm having kittens now, why do badgers have to be so bloody argumentative ?!?! And what if the neighbours turn on them when the cull is in the news !?

The Wonder of Learning exhibition is on display January 25, 2019 - May 1, 2019 in the Playhouse Gallery of Overture Center and the Youth Services room on the lower level of Madison's Central Library. "This exhibit from the world-renowned schools of Reggio Emilia, Italy is free and open to the public. It will help inspire parents, educators and other advocates for children to better understand the powerful learning that occurs in the early childhood years. Visitors will be immersed in the world of the much-admired Reggio Emilia philosophy of early childhood education and understand how children, from birth, use many “languages,” such as art, music, play, drama and literacy, to learn about and make meaning of the world."

As a psychologist and Psychological Artist, I have been fascinated by how the principles used in magic and mind magic in particular can reveal so much about our human nature and behaviour. There are a huge collection of secret techniques out there , many of them psychological, that creates for us and people around us an astounding and mind bending experience. This is what the Sleight of Mind Set workshops are all about. For more information and to book your place on the course, please go to mindsways.com/SMS/
PARANORMAL - FACT OR FAKE?
The desire for magic and mystery has been around as long as written records at least. It is a very deep part of our psyche. The continued popularity of it in films and on television today testifies to that. Perhaps this is because it seems to reveal so much about the hidden emotions, longings and psychology of the mysterious that we all have.
How many of us have encountered an experience that we just can't explain? We see something in the shadows, we have a sense of being stared at, we suddenly hear from someone we have just thought about and so on. Can people actually read minds? There are so many questions around this subject. However, presenting such mysteries or paranormal events still entertains and engages us. For a large section of the population the paranormal still remains as popular today as it was in the Victorian days, it has just move from parlours into theatres and television screens.
So what can we learn from this, what happens when we probe under the surface of these phenomena? We can learn a lot about ourselves, our dreams, our desires and what the human condition is. We can learn about a whole host of human behaviours and human nature.
Combine these mysteries with an entertaining presentation and we get a powerful mix. This shows us why these activities are popular but also how they give us valuable insights into our minds. There is even a branch of neuroscience actually called neuromagic.
So regardless of whether you think Mind Reading and other paranormal activities are fact or fake they entertain us and provide us with insights into how we think, reason and behave regardless if you are a skeptic or a believer. On the SMS day we look at the spectrum of beliefs and uncover tools and techniques used in Mind Magic and Psychological Artistry. For more on this, please go to mindsways.com/SMS

All of these will be demonstrated and explained with practical advice on their use in the workshop. The day will use both the Show, Not Tell kit and the Sleight of Mind Set (each available separately but are included as part of the day. For more information, visit the SNT kit.)

Isla de Lobos (Wolf Island), just 2km off the shore of Fuerteventura, got its name after the large number of Sea wolf (also called monk seals) that used to live there in the past, before extensive hunting drove them extinct.

Billy thought Sam would enjoy actually riding around on the mower. Turns out he loved sitting there with his daddy, but got a little scared at how noisy it was when it started. Maybe next mowing season!
There is certainly nothing quite as exciting as raising a kid. This article below describes some pointers to be of assistance with raising a kid.
Clear off a place in the kitchen counter, lay your kids back over a rolled towel, and run water through the faucet within the hair and scalp. As time passes, this could produce a toddler more receptive to the thought of being submerged or doused with water.
Preschool children frequently have difficulty in dealing with transitions. Most of the time, shifting between projects or tasks can be so upsetting that your particular child might even end up in tears.
Should your children walk to school, ensure these are wearing some type of reflective material on the clothes or on the book bag. You can get reflective Velcro strips it is possible to connect to clothing. Accomplishing this will help you to keep the child safe, through making them a lot more visible to folks driving compared to what they could be without reflectors.
Should your baby is cutting an unpleasant tooth, fill a mesh teether with carrots, cucumbers or pickles. Other stuff also provide relief, but children generally prefer chewing on a thing that has some taste. Chewing in the item for quite a while can actually create your child happier and much less cranky.
No matter what their ages are, children who walk to or from school have to have retro-reflective material affixed with their person within a highly conspicuous spot, including on the backpack or clothing. You can get reflective material that may be easily applied with Velcro strips to the surface. Accomplishing this will help you to keep the child safe, through making them a lot more visible to folks driving compared to what they could be without reflectors.
When you initially have children, form good habits to make it your main priority to care for yourself. No matter your schedule or agenda, have a break and relax for a couple minutes when you can. You may feel great, along with your children will likely be happier because of this.
If children live at home, avoid smoking inside your home. Actually, it will be extremely beneficial to give up smoking altogether. Breathing secondhand smoke may be just like harmful as smoking. Smoking around your young ones can be extremely hazardous and cause many respiratory issues including asthma, bronchitis or pneumonia.
These pointers will assist you to be considered a successful parent. As Being A Parent is actually a unique experience and it is different for anyone. There is certainly not an exact correct way to parent in particular specific situations. Utilize the advice that relates to your lifestyle, and then try to provide an open mind to trying something totally new. Take into consideration as being a parent as being a unique possibility to get closer with another individual, so when an extremely enriching experience. kidslearningtower.com/
