Funny squirrel catapult video4/30/2024 ![]() ![]() The obstacle course itself is a great example of behaviorism, measuring behavioral responses to stimuli (typically in a laboratory environment). Spotting his landingĪlso under the ethology category would be his initial pilot study of which type of seeds or nuts the squirrels prefer: walnuts, which he then used as his obstacle course final reward. He nicely ties this back to the evolutionary ecology of squirrels, considering it an adaptation to life in trees. Rober is similarly fascinated by the physics of how squirrels are able to land so cleanly even after being launched or dropped from his platforms: lowering their terminal velocity, turning in midair and pulling in/stretching their limbs, spotting their landings, and using their tails to adjust their trajectory. This led me to be fascinated by the physiology of how manatees use their tails, flippers, and bodies to rise to the surface to breathe, even while sleeping. This type of research was my primary focus during my undergrad my career goal was to study animal behavior in zoos (spoiler alert: this is not my current field of biology at all).įor example, I would observe the manatees at the Columbus zoo, creating an ethogram of their behaviors (eating, sleeping, social interaction, swimming, surfacing to breathe) to see how much of their time was spent doing each activity, and what part of the exhibit they were doing them in. The most interesting to me is the part involving ethology, the study of animals’ behavior typically in their natural environment with limited interference. The study here really consists of two types of animal behavior science. Speaking as another currently-pregnant female, Phat Gus is quite frankly an inspiration to me. My favorite: Phat Gus aka Phantastic Gus, who turns out to be a pregnant female. His observations of the course begin by identifying his subjects: 4 particular squirrels were included in this study.

Tomato timere4/30/2024 ![]() To begin with, an action plan for a beginner "Pomodor" may look like this: If desired, you can shorten or increase the intervals, select priority tasks.By breaking the task down into stages, you get to the heart of the problem.A real result appears that can be analyzed.Working on one task is more efficient and takes less time.In practice, multitasking turns out to be an inability to focus, resulting in unnecessary cognitive connections that take up time and energy. The bottom line is that in focused attention mode, your brain does only one task and is not overloaded with unnecessary information. Useful skills will come in handy - do not scatter your attention, and you will get a quick and correct result of your actions.Īccording to the Pomodoro method, the task is broken down into 25 minute tomato intervals with short rest breaks. If you want to learn how to manage time, this is a good start. ![]() Now you know what the Pomodoro method is. 90 minutes of active work followed by 20 minutes of rest is considered the most productive work cycle. ![]() Multitasking leads to a 40% drop in productivity for the average worker.According to a study by University College London, working near a window can be more efficient than working against a wall.Tuesday is the busiest day of the week.An ordinary, average worker lasts a little more than 3 hours, then efficiency drops and tends to zero. Received 40-60% of their most productive time. In the course of the study, employees were asked to calculate how much time they lose due to interruptions, distractions.Leaders respond better to reports of numbers and graphs than to verbal descriptions.Women, on the other hand, focus on quality. ![]()

Autumn leaves blair4/30/2024 ![]() ![]() I decided to make this room more centered on my witch decor this year. The kitchen is definitely the heart of the home and I love adding little bits of cozy and quirky things to the room to make the space feel more personalized. I chose mostly green and cream colored pumpkins in this room as the center piece on the dining room table. In the dining room I have kept things more “classy” autumn focused instead of Halloween. I love fixing a cup of hot herbal tea and cuddling up on the couch in the evenings and watching a show with the orange fairy lights on. Since we spend the most time in this room I really wanted to make it feel warm, cozy, and inviting. The living room is focused on deep oranges and mustard yellows with all the pumpkins and cozy lights. Since moving into our own house, I have much more space to decorate and this year I tried to stick to one color palette or theme for each of our main area rooms on the first floor. Especially because my birthday falls in the month of September, I usually get lots of decor items as birthday gifts, which I actually love. Over the years I have collected a decent amount of Autumn and Halloween decor. Instead, I have come to find that my Autumn decor style is a bit of an in-between mixture of the two. ![]() I knew the neutral color palette of an Autumn farmhouse style wasn’t for me, yet I didn’t like the completely gaudy purple and orange of straight up cheap Halloween decorations you find in a lot of stores this time of year. I don’t really know what to call my style, and for awhile I used to worry about the fact that I couldn’t choose just one type of Autumn decor or color scheme to decorate with with. The more velvet pumpkins around my house the better! I have also loved Halloween ever since I was a young teenager and have always been fond of incorporating a little bit of spooky charm along with my cozy autumn decor. Its no secret that I adore Autumn and all the cozy decor that comes along with it. This year we did the same and I loved seeing the excitement and enthusiasm on Ellis’ face as we began to decorate for “pumpkin day”, as he calls it. A new tradition I started with Ellis last year was to pull out all of our Autumn and Halloween decor on (or around) September 10th and start decorating our house for the changing seasons.

Following each contraction, a rebound effect supports a small degree of rotation. With each maternal contraction, the fetal head pushes down on the pelvic floor. The pelvic floor has a gutter shape with a forward and downward slope, encouraging the fetal head to rotate from the left or right occipito-transverse position a total of 90-degrees, to an occipital-anterior (occiput facing forward) position, to lie under the subpubic arch. In this position, the fetal skull has a smaller diameter which assists passage through the pelvis. When this occurs the fetal neck flexes (chin to chest) allowing the circumference of the fetal head to reduce to sub-occipitobregmatic (9.5cm). Engagement is identified by abdominal palpation, where the fetal head is 3/5 th palpable or less.Īs the fetus descends through the pelvis, fundal dominance of uterine contraction exerts pressure down the fetal spine towards the occiput, forcing the occiput to come into contact with the pelvic floor. The term engagement is referring to the widest part of the fetal head successfully negotiating its way down deep into the maternal pelvis. This is when the largest diameter of the fetal head descends into the maternal pelvis. Increased frequency and strength of contractions during labourĪs the head descends, it moves towards the pelvic brim in either the left or right occipito-transverse position (this means the occiput can be facing the left side or right side of the mother’s pelvis).Fundal dominance of the uterine contractions during labour.Braxton hicks in the late stages of pregnancy. ![]() In the primigravida this is likely to occur from 38 weeks gestation onwards, in a multigravida woman, this may not occur until labour is established. It should be noted that descent and engagement occur together, rather than as completely separate/distinct stages, so consider them as 2 parts of the same process/stage. Occipitofrontal (vertex, neutral flexion) is 11.0cm.Suboccipitobregmatic (vertex, flexed) is 9.5cm.It is also important to know how the circumference of the fetal head varies with different degrees of neck flexion: Fetal head diameter varies depending upon the degree of neck flexion ![]() However, when it gets closer to the pelvic outlet, the nature of the pelvic floor muscles encourages the fetal head to rotate from a transverse position to an anterior-posterior position, as the AP diameter is greater than the transverse diameter. Since the transverse diameter is greater than the antero-posterior (AP) diameter in the pelvic inlet, the widest circumference of the fetal head descends in a transverse position. Pelvic inlet Borders of the pelvic outlet To understand the mechanism of labour, you need some basic understanding of pelvic anatomy.
