Found three Blue Jays lying down on the mulch, if there had been just one I would have thought it was dead or injured. I'm not sure what they were doing. When I approached they flew away.

The hit American boy band Mindless Behavior finished off their first tour of this country with their final concert before returning to America at Enfield Grammar School, as a guest of the Student Council. The band, a massive success in America, with over a million followers on twitter and a huge fan base on You Tube, were in England on a promotional tour.
As part of our links with the local community we invited both students from St Anne’s and Enfield County to attend. The band performed four hits off their debut album that is presently at number seven in the American Album chart, followed by a question and answer session and autograph signing. Over 400 boys and girls from the schools were chosen by their Heads of Year to see the band as a reward to recognise their excellent efforts and behaviour in the last few months.
Well done to everyone who helped organise this event particularly all Grammar Sixth Form prefects who gave up their time to help stage the event.

These are non-breeding birds as evidenced by the lack of
a bump or beginning "shield" on the upper mandible. It is present only on breeding birds and, after the breeding season, it will disappear until the next breeding session. This group consisted of both adult and first-year birds.

This year we had a problem with one or more desert woodrats (Neotoma lepida, also known as pack rats, go figure) fooling around under the hood of the Jamboree. After the vehicle sat for many months I finally opened the hood and found the engine compartment stuffed with leaves nibbled off a nearby hedge. The leaves were fresh, so the woodrats had been working not long before I discovered him. The entire air intake was stuffed with leaves, I had to dismantle it to clean it out.
After cleaning up as best I could (the steel crossmember in the foreground is still stuffed with leaves, I can't figure out how to get them out), I came back the next day and the intake was once again stuffed with leaves. The woodrat must have worked all night.
I cleaned it up again and moved the vehicle away from the hedge, and that brought me some peace for a while.
So this weekend I opened the hood and found this: the intake was once again stuffed with leaves, but the woodrat had also collected gravel and stuffed the last couple inches of the intake with rocks, and also left some rocks elsewhere under the hood. Boy, that must have been hard work, carrying each rock in his teeth while climbing up into the engine.
I simply can't imagine why he did it. These woodrats are nest-builders, and I have had problems with them using the insulation from under the hoods of my other cars to build nests on top of the intake manifolds. But while the droppings indicate the woodrats spend a lot of time under the hood of the RV, there is no nest.
In a typical divided company -- that is, a company that's organized by division -- behaviors tend toward the territorial. Departments and divisions are territory, to be protected and defended, fostering a culture of competition.
In a connected company, collaborative behaviors need to replace this culture of division. New skills are needed. I've been working with Mike Bonifer, author of GameChangers: Improvisation for Business in the Networked World, to create a framework for 21st-century connected work skills.

To promote forest health and reduce hazardous buildups of brush, branches, and needles that could result in a catastrophic wildfire, the Airport Road South Prescribed Fire was conducted on May 11, 2016, by the BLM Carson City District-Sierra Front Field Office. This photo shows low fire consuming needles, brush, and branches, making more room for the Jeffrey pines to grow and reducing the chances of wildfire.
I watched these two take turns grooming one another for about 20 minutes. I've observed this bonding behavior in monkeys and primates many times, but never in squirrels before. Since they lack the precise thumb-forefinger dexterity to do it like the monkeys and primates, they used only their teeth. They would nibble all over the back of the recipient sort of like eating an ear of corn. Needless to say, the recipient would just sit there very still in a state of obvious bliss.
Has anyone else ever observed this behavior in squirrels before?

VAâs annual Brain Trust summit offers platform for innovations in brain health and head trauma
From a software platform for traumatic brain injury to a virtual reality device that assists Veterans with behavioral health issues, 15 competitors pitched a diversity of ideas during demo day at the Brain Trust: Pathways to InnoVAtion summit, hosted by VA on May 18 in Boston. The annual two-day event assembled more than 350 invited participants from the federal government, private industry, professional sports, medical research, caregivers and Veteran communities to collaborate and advance discussions around the prevention and treatment of traumatic brain injury (TBI) and concussion. âWe have an unbelievable opportunity to accelerate the speed of change,â said retired Army Lt. Gen. Patricia Horoho, CEO of Optum Military and Veterans Group, to the 15 industry and academic innovators who had come to pitch their ideas on TBI and head trauma to a panel of judges. âToday, the impossible gets challenged.âAfter reviewing a series of short presentations from competitors, the judges selected three winners: The Daptly Display, a gesture and voice-controlled assistant for the home or office; Save a Warrior: A peer-to-peer, archetypal approach for healing combat trauma and moral injury; and Recovery Acceleration Program for mild TBI by King-Devick Technologies. The winners will have the potential opportunity to implement and deploy their innovations with VA. âWe feel incredibly honored to be selected as a winner of the VA Innovation awards, which will further our opportunity to provide services to our Veterans,â said Steve Devick, CEO of King-Devick Technologies, who explained how his project would help Veterans impacted by TBI. âThe King-Devick technologies innovations are related to the fact that eye movements and vision are responsible for approximately 55 percent of brain function. âAs a result, implementing our recovery acceleration program by involving these pathways leads to faster concussions and TBI recovery when used with standard remediation. Additionally, caregivers can measure defects in eye movements, which may lead to dosage changes in chronic degenerative diseases, such as Alzheimerâs disease, multiple sclerosis and Parkinsonâs disease. â  During the event, VA officials announced key partnerships with several influential organizations, including: Amazon, which donated 100 Echo devices with Alexa voice service to VAâs Assistive Technology Labs to help meet the needs of Veterans; Cohen Veterans Bioscience, which is coordinating efforts with VA to integrate data across dozens of labs to facilitate breakthroughs in trauma-related disorders; Booz Allen Hamilton; Comcast; Concussion Legacy Foundation; GE; IBM; Infinite Hero Foundation; Johnson & Johnson; Optum; Outward Bound; PenFed Foundation, Philips; the Warrior Care Network and the National Institutes of Health, which is co-hosting a âState of the Scienceâ workshop in 2018 that will focus on Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy and other neurodegenerative diseases.

I was playing around with the shutter speed and got a number of shots of Banjo in the dog playground near Castro. He and this white dog really demonstrated some dominance behavior. They look like they're having fun.
Interesting behavior. I did not know about this. Tried to find more and here is what I found -
"Every cat has her own grooming ritual, but most begin with licking of the mouth, chin, and whiskers first. That's followed by each shoulder and foreleg. She'll then wash both flanks and hind legs, the genitals, and then her tail from tip to stern.
Kitty uses a dampened forepaw to scrub face, head and ears, and redampens her paw by licking after every few swipes. She'll switch paws depending on which side she's washing.
Next, she'll scratch with rear claws to clean and groom the neck and ears. She nibbles on rear claws to keep them groomed, and both nibbles and claws objects to file front claws into shape."
If I closed my eyes, they sounded like any other group of twelve year olds. The conversation was frenetic, bouncy, and an overall mess. But to anyone who’s eyes were open, those boys stuck out on Magnificent Mile with their plain Orthodox formalwear and their matching black hats. Perhaps because they stopped to gawk at the window display of lingerie, I now have evidence that adolescent boys everywhere are cut from the same cloth.
With street photography there’s no shame in shooting on “P” mode. Basically, “P” mode is similar to Auto but more advanced and without the impulse to trigger the flash. In the fast-changing environment of street photography, sometimes you don’t have the luxury to play with exposure settings.
