EXCERPT: "I am not arguing that people always have a conscious and explicit goal to
control other individuals and resources in their environment; often they do
not. What I am proposing is that selection pressures (e.g., social competition)
will operate such that behavioral biases will evolve that focus on securing
social and ecological resources, and that these biases covaried with survival or
reproductive outcomes during the species' evolutionary history. The biases
result from the activity of an array of brain, cognitive, and affective mecha-
nisms that process the corresponding information patterns (e.g., movement
patterns of prey species) and guide behavioral activities toward these features
of the social and ecological world. In other words, one way of organizing
brain, cognitive, affective, and behavioral systems under a single principle is to
cast them as reflecting a fundamental motivation to control within-species and
between-species (e.g., prey capture, or predator avoidance) behavioral dynam-
ics and to gain control of resources that have tended to covary with evolution-
ary outcomes. With respect to humans, the Darwin and Wallace (1858, p. 54)
conceptualization of natural selection as a “struggle for existence” becomes
additionally a struggle with other human beings for control of the resources
that support life and allow one to reproduce. " www.missouri.edu/~psycorie/FolkKnowledgePDF.pdf (2005?)
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.

For both of me and my bike, from my house (1300mts) to Irazu volcano hills (3000 meters) and then the hardcore dowhill ... lots of fun but the bike is on the hospital.
Next Sunday, Jan 23th, up and down hill on Chirripo / Uran peaks, some of 2000 meters of vertical gain, I guess.
This Pic is made with my celphone, I will start using it when biking around ...

Americans face countless choices every day, and it can be a struggle to pick the most healthy, economical, and responsible options. At the same time, the ability to choose freely is irreplaceable and people are hesitant to see their choices compromised. Behavioral psychology can mitigate this paradox, subtly promoting the most responsible choices while preserving all of the available options. “Nudge” strategies are being used in a wide range of settings, including to promote healthier eating choices in cafeterias by moving healthier foods to more prominent locations, to encourage home energy savings by supplying consumers with more intuitive information, and even to reduce procrastination on paying taxes by sharing information on community payment behavior.
These can have a more lasting effect on the human psyche than many people realize. They can cause people (especially youngsters) to have a more violent mentality. Photo from www.goodenoughmother.com
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.
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.

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?

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.
