An information campaign to stop bullying in our schools is a major campaign for prosocial behavior. This is a problem that society must deal with, and we are attempting to do it through popular media.

A female white-naped crane chick, hatched May 23 at the National Zoo’s Conservation and Research Center, shown at 5 days old with its adoptive parent. The chick is being raised by its paternal grandparents after its human-imprinted mother displayed inappropriate behavior during breeding and was impregnated through artificial insemination. This two-week-old chick is the most genetically important hatchling in the White-Naped Crane Species Survival Program. Destruction of its native wetland habitat in northeast China has dramatically decreased white-naped crane populations in the wild to an estimated 5,000. The National Zoo’s Conservation and Research Center currently has 10 cranes; there are an additional 60 animals in the White-Naped Crane Species Survival Program.
Saving the planet one step at a time
Have you heard of climate change?
Temperatures are getting higher. Storms are getting worse. Ice is melting and sea levels are rising. Portions of the coast of Bangladesh are likely to go underwater, lost forever. Millions will become homeless. The ability of the earth to sustain people is threatened.
Why is climate change happening?
Because people are burning up fossil fuels (diesel, petrol, natural gas, coal) at such rapid rates that future generations are now threatened.
Is it possible to slow climate change?
Yes, but we cannot continue to waste time. Carbon dioxide levels are rising rapidly. That is where the number 350 comes in. If we can limit CO2 in the atmosphere to 350 parts per million then we can avoid the worst of the harm to come.
Is there anything we can do?
No one person cam stop climate change but everyone contributes something significant. We can slow out own use of fossil fuels by walking and cycling and taking cycle rickshaws rather than using motorized transport. We can reduce our use of electricity. We can avoid, as a nation, burning coal (pure carbon) or selling it to others to burn. We can encourage the government to act to encourage reductions in fuel use and to encourage walking, cycling, and rickshaws.
This will mean making some changes. Fortunately most of those changes are likely to
increase rather than reduce our quality of life. Imagine being able to cycle safely in
Dhaka. Imagine the air being fresh and clean. Imagine children and youth being able to play in side streets. If we move our focus from cars to people, from traveling long
distances to accessing basic needs close to home, we can reduce congestion and all the misery it causes, We can have more time with family and for the other important parts of life.
Remember 350 is not just a number. It is not just an ideal. It is something we can all work to make a reality.

FORT BELVOIR, Va. (February 10, 2017)
The Belvoir Hospital opens the Department of Defense's first Adolescent Inpatient Behavioral Health unit February 10, 2017. The event was attended by military medicine leadership from across the National Capital Region. The goal of the unit is to reduce the burden of mental illness on affected adolescents and their families by offering evidence-based treatments in a professional, caring environment.

Summer break may be here, but that doesn't mean the work stops. More than 500 DMPS faculty and administration attended the two day base camp focused on improving student behavior and school culture.
Anita Li (M.S. ABA '13) from Florida is about to get a participant for one of the operant chamber experiments. An operant chamber is a container in which an animal is placed that has various manipulanda (like levers, or in our case, IR hoops) that are linked to some consequence (food, water, lights, etc). They are used to study learning.
This is the Tatty Old Girl (right bottom) and (I think) The Pale Golden Youngster. The Old Girl buzzed the youngster from its perch (unfortunately behind an intervening tree from my camera) and they made passes at one another quite low to the ground with a couple of goes at talon locking (which I missed with the camera) before they went up quite steeply soaring high above. I don't think it was mating behaviour? The Tatty Old Girl is easily identified because almost half her tail feathers are missing and a flight feather from each wing. I have been seeing her with groups of youngsters for the last year and a half, and I feel her role is sort of teacher/protector ... and I think the Pale-golden Youngster cops a lot of teaching from the adults ... but, hey! how would I know anything for sure?
When I got home from bird-watching yesterday, I found this little tree toad cuddled up next to the charger for my mobility scooter. When I pulled the cord out of the hole where I store it , I apparently shocked (only in the sense of "surprised") the toad despite its unperturbed appearance. He jumped down the hole like those suicidal lemmings one reads about. It looked like the hole extended down about five feet to a cement floor. Later, though, I got a flashlight and peered down the hole and was glad to see a blockage less than a foot below the opening, However, there was no little toad. I guess he managed to use his sticky little feet to make his escape. Strangely, though I saw him cuddling next to the charger again this morning.
Thank you for your visit.
Primary School students were rewarded for all their positive behavior with a special event with Luau Relay Races.
