Odo is trying to get Dakota to play with him and he's doing so using dominant body language: he follows her around and stands perpendicular to her--putting his head over her back. (He was just standing there doing so--of course he sat just as I took the photo.) That's a dominant behavior--you'll often see that in a dog park between male dogs jousting for higher position in the doggy pecking order.
Maggie, on the other hand, is being submissive to Dakota--she's sticking her snout and tongue in her mouth (something submissive wolves also do with more alpha wolves), which Dakota is responding to positively by playing with her and making light growly noises.

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 ...

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.
Held Thursday 09/14/2017, the Center on Finance, Law, and Policy hosted a symposium discussing behavioral finance. This event included keynote speakers, interdisciplinary panel discussions, and an interactive audience experiment, exploring topics of technological progress in our overall economy.

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.
In a distant future, a war rages between China and Japan over Hong Kong and the surrounding areas. Japan, facing a population crisis and famine, invades Hong Kong in a desperate bid for land. Among the many technological advancements employed in the war, one stands out: the "Grandmas" androids.
These androids were not specifically designed for war, but rather emerged from civilian purposes naturally. The idea behind their creation was to prolong the lives of elderly women by turning them into androids, half machine and half human. The creators of the Grandmas chose to use elderly women as the base for their androids because of the differences in neuroplasticity between young and old brains.
Neuroplasticity refers to the ability of the brain to change and adapt in response to experiences. In young brains, neuroplasticity is high, allowing for quick learning and adaptation, but also making it harder to control the behavior of the brain. In contrast, in old brains, neuroplasticity is lower, making it easier to control and direct the behavior of the brain. This is why the creators of the Grandmas decided to use elderly women as the base for their androids.
However, as time passed, the Grandmas' brain tissue began to decay and artificial intelligence started to take over more and more parts of their brain. Despite this, their behavior remains the same, as the small parts of living brain tissue that still remain continue to dominate their behavior. Their primary function is to cook and care for all those around them, even other androids, although they do not need food themselves. They often pretend to eat just to make the other grandmas happy. They also tend to wounded or damaged androids, applying dirt and old rags to the damaged components and trying to comfort the machine. These behaviors are not programmed, but have developed naturally, as the Grandmas' loving and caring nature dominates their behavior.
In addition to their caretaking duties, the Grandmas also chat constantly, providing wisdom and anecdotes, spreading gossip, and talking the entire time. They have an endless stream of stories and observations from their long lives and they share them with anyone who will listen. They are also known to be a great source of comfort and solace for the soldiers on the battlefield, providing a sense of normalcy and humanity in the midst of the chaos and destruction of war.
Grandmas do not fight in combat, but they are often seen trying to break up furious fights on the battlefield, often putting themselves in danger to do so. On rare occasions, they will fight if they witness injustice on the battlefield, using all their advanced abilities to defend the innocent.
Despite the care and compassion that the Grandmas show, many humans avoid them and children are often scared of them, while adults are often annoyed by their caring nature. But as the war rages on, the Grandmas continue to provide a beacon of hope and humanity amidst the destruction and chaos. As the war progresses, the Grandmas become more and more important to the soldiers as they provide not only food and care, but also a sense of normalcy and humanity in the midst of the chaos and destruction of war.
The Grandmas' unique blend of advanced technology and human-like behavior make them a powerful symbol of the blurred lines between human and machine in this war-torn future. They may not have been specifically designed for war, but the Grandmas' presence on the battlefield serves as a reminder that even in the darkest of times, compassion and humanity can still prevail. Even as their brains decay and artificial intelligence takes over more and more of their functions, the Grandmas' ingrained behavior and love for others continues to shine through.

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.

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?
Vintage image of a group of young men getting their drink on and passing the whiskey pint around in a park. Looks like they are on some type of outing as one of them is brandishing a camera. Just an observation that things need to be pretty boring for someone to down a bump on a hot afternoon in a park. Nice row of vintage cars in the background. This found photograph comes from the private collection of an unknown and/or unknowing art collector. It’s always a thrill when it’s from Vinnie DeVille!

Though it's just another Spanish shawl, these are my favorite images from the day and up there for the year because it clearly shows the "going, going, gone" behavior of the nudibranch chowing down on a eudendrium hydroid.

I happened upon this Indigo Bunting male who was intent on plucking the pappus from this dandelion and then clutching it with his feet??
Is he feeding his mate? Lining the nest? He was at this for several minutes. I took a series of shots where he would pluck a seed or two and then turn (as here) to place it beneath his foot.
