Behavioural guidelines for the Laem Phrom Thep beach, Phuket at the Phromthem Cape. This was the next stop on the half day tour of Phuket. There were three viewpoints in all, and this was the final one. (see previous pictures earlier in this album for pictures of the others). With its elevated location and few small islands nearby, the Promthep Cape is considered one of the prime sunset viewing spots in Phuket. Some cynics feel that people watching there is more entertaining, with most people texting and playing with their cellphones while waiting for sunset. The Laem Phrom Thep beach is actually at sea level (naturally!)- this sign and viewpoint is on top of a hill at the location. (Phuket, Thailand, Oct/ Nov. 2019)
Compiling studymaterial at work. "Exponering" means exposure in swedish...probably not the kind of exposure most of the people here think of first though. ;)

If dogs can be trained to drive cars, it also means human behaviour can be changed. #transportchoice

The whole campaign is bloody brilliant. Trust the motor car industry to have all the best ideas.
Governments around the world are drawing on behavioural insights to improve public policy outcomes: from automatic enrolment for pensions, to better tax compliance, to increasing the supply of organ donation.
But those very same policy makers are also subject to biases that can distort decision making. The Behavioural Insights Team has been studying those biases and what can be done to counter them, in collaboration with Jill Rutter and Julian McCrae of the Institute for Government.
The report was launched with remarks from Alex Chisholm, Permanent Secretary at the Department for Business, Energy, and Industrial Strategy.
Dr Michael Hallsworth, Director of the Behavioural Insights Team in North America presented the key findings.
The findings, their relevance to policy making today, and what they mean for the way governments make decisions were discussed by:
Polly Mackenzie, Director of Policy for the Deputy Prime Minister, 2010–15 and now Director of Demos
Dr Tony Curzon Price, Economic Advisor to the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy.
The event was chaired by Jill Rutter, Programme Director at the Institute for Government.

I know it's garbage, but I think it's too big for this gull to swallow, and he/she played with this ball for the whole hour I was at the pond.

This parks appears to be more than a little bit neglected and shows some signs of anti-social behaviour. However it would appear that things are about to change.
The contract to design Ireland's first large scale urban wetlands and park surrounding a modern sports stadium, which it is hoped will act as a catalyst project for the redevelopment of Cork Docklands, has been awarded by Cork City Council. Speaking at the announcement, Pat Ledwidge, Director of Services, Strategic Planning and Economic Development, Cork City Council said: “This proposed regional park will achieve a number of objectives for the city including the provision of a world class modern urban park facility for the citizens of Cork while facilitating the upgrading of Pairc Ui Chaoimh into a high quality modern sport centre which will enhance the match day experience for all involved”.
The winning concept design, led by Dutch and Irish landscape architects OKRA and REDscape, took the City Council’s brief for the redevelopment of Marina Park to a new level and offers an exciting vision of dynamic landscapes and ecosystems tailored to a modern and developing city. The design concept includes a sequence of urban water gardens, watercourses and wetland areas which will recycle storm water from the adjacent docklands and create a sustainable

Hydrellia tritici, Ephydridae, bodylength approx. 2mm - I'm starting to really warm to these guys (other uploads from me). They are constantly putting on a display and are quite tolerant of close cameras. I've already uploaded video of their leg waving but I'm experimenting with different equipment - basically using my reverse lense on an old digital video camera which has good optical zoom (20x).
Couple of interesting things in the video. Primarily the obsessive foreleg displays, but from an ID point of view there is a large black velvety spot above each wing base - this feature distinguishes H. tritici from all other Hydrellia species in Australia. Oh, also it shoots a terd at -51sec.

it occurs to me that all these objects/tools & perhaps many more, need a storage place, a drawer, a shelf, a filing cabinet, a library of sorts, in our daily lives...
A website collects

The website tells every bot the "center" of the spill.

If another bot is too far (the one at the bottom) it "explores" around, scanning.
The "people" on land

A partnership between pay-how-you-drive insurer Coverbox and vehicle tracking & movement monitoring technology market leader Ctrack looks set to drive vehicle insurance telematics forward two generations.
A clear demonstration that Ctrack is able to comply with Coverbox’s 18-point device strategy means that Ctrack’s massively-advanced interactive devices will soon be establishing new levels of data provision from vehicles to which they are fitted as part of pay-how-you-drive insurance products.
“We’re developing and progressing our soon-to-be-launched behavioural insurance product at an exciting rate, and it’s all hot in the wheeltracks of a resounding report which looks set to change the way car insurance premiums are set. This moves vehicle insurance telematics two or three generations beyond current equipment capabilities,” said Johan van der Merwe, deputy chairman of Coverbox, at Insurance Telematics 2012 in London.
“We have a clearly-defined device strategy – built around financial and supply security of the device company, as well as installation standards and control of tamper and removal security – and Ctrack meets and even exceeds our requirements.
“We know we shook a lot of people in the insurance industry by commissioning a report which reveals that there's an overwhelming case for changing the way the insurance industry sets premiums – but the re-insurance industry simply cannot ignore the level of information and quantities of data the Coverbox-Ctrack combination will make available through a highly-advanced interactive device and supporting monitoring and analytics.
“The Holy Grail of the vehicle insurance industry is analysing and concluding the cause, process and effect of a vehicle accident or event – without giving the game away, we’re currently piloting absolutely tamper-proof interactive devices which provide previously unheard-of levels of data, but which also monitor and record driving behaviour and vehicle movement for a significant period before any sort of harsh or severe event.
“There is also the potential – even now – of incorporating overt or covert video recording into the system.
“We have also carried out tests to assess various on-board telematics devices’ response to being swapped in and out of vehicles, and we’re actually quite surprised at some of the results and responses.”
Saleem Miyan, managing director of Ctrack Europe Holdings Limited, said: “Pardon the pun, but we’ve been looking for a vehicle for our two-generations-on insurance telematics technology, and it is pretty clear that Johan van der Merwe and his Coverbox team have a vision and understanding which provides that vehicle.
“Coverbox’s team are not ‘make-do’ guys – we’ve walked into an environment in which not only do they recognise Ctrack’s potential impact, they’ve embraced it and catapulted it forward even further.”
Coverbox’s report into the vehicle insurance sector will be presented to a select panel of leading insurance companies in due course.
"What it reveals is that there's an overwhelming case for changing the way the insurance industry sets premiums: we can record, analyse and compare driving behaviour as against applying insurance 'proxy ratings' - we get factual driving information, and base rates on driving style and location rather than lifestyle and home address," said Johan van der Merwe.
"Ctrack’s technology is simply jaw-dropping in the context of pay-how-you-drive as Coverbox sees it.
"The report illustrates that both insurers and drivers will be better off if insurance is rated on driving style rather than lifestyle, and that good drivers don't suffer from the behaviour of bad drivers – and Ctrack’s product and technology takes monitoring and recording to an utterly higher plane.”
Coverbox pay-how-you-drive insurance allows drivers to take out comprehensive cover paid for by the mile, with the price per mile varying according to the time of the day or night: off-peak, peak or "super-peak" times, and how the driver drives.
All Coverbox policyholders have a personal website enabling them to see precisely how many miles they are driving, and what the cost is. The technology behind Coverbox is based on proven equipment and technology.
