The Secret of the Fibonacci Sequence in Trees As I headed to the exhibit where the hamadryas baboons ( Papio hamadryas ) resided, I knew something interesting would happen over the next few hours. As I walked into the exhibit, I found two mothers pulling their infants' tails to keep them from straying. This particular act reminded me of how some parents put leashes on their children so they won't wander too far. This example demonstrated how similar the behavior of hamadryas baboons and humans can be. Throughout my life I have enjoyed observing animals and the way they interact with their surroundings. Walking through parks I have watched squirrels, birds and other animals, always curious to know what their actions meant. When I visit zoos, I always wonder how much the animals' behavior is affected by their captivity. The null hypothesis for my first question is that there will be no differences in the behaviors of captive hamadryas baboons compared to wild hamadryas baboons.

Maslow’s Needs and Gaming What does it mean to achieve something? Is it good enough to feel like you achieve, when you really don’t? Does the modern world provide a false sense of achievement too often, to the point at which people don’t actually do anything? Image generated using this neat tool. It is hard not to notice the impact of computers and video games on the overall productivity of oneself. For me, being a little bit obsessive, features highlighted by the above are just the type of thing to deter me from being more productive. Let us start outside the realm of massively online multiplayer games. Hello, my name is Will, and I’m addicted to achievements. I too have felt this way, and I have felt even more frustrated when the game developers put achievements in games on purpose, which require an excessive amount of time to complete; leaving obsessive people such as myself spending far too much time playing. Consoles and silly achievements/trophies are just the tip of the iceberg. Safety Love/Belonging Esteem

Great Books of the Western World The Great Books (second edition) Great Books of the Western World is a series of books originally published in the United States in 1952 by Encyclopædia Britannica Inc. to present the Great Books in a single package of 54 volumes. The series is now in its second edition and contains 60 volumes. The original editors of the series chose three criteria for inclusion: a book must be relevant to contemporary issues, and not only important in its historical context; it must reward rereading; and it must be a part of "the great conversation about the great ideas," relevant to at least 25 of the 102 great ideas identified by the editors. Books were not chosen on the basis of ethnic or cultural inclusiveness, historical influence, or the editors' agreement with the views expressed.[1] History[edit] After debates about what to include and how to present it, with an eventual budget of $2,000,000, the project was ready. Sales were initially poor. Volumes[edit] Volume 1 The Great Conversation Volume 2

The Truth About Abs: How To Make $1,000,000 Per Month with Digital Products (Plus: Noah Kagan results) Six-pack abs sell. (Photo: San Diego Shooter) Once or twice in the past, I have referred to “someone” who has earned $5,000,000-$10,000,000 per year with e-books and cross promotion. For that, I should apologize, as it’s not accurate: his numbers are now closer to $1,000,000 per month, and “e-book” doesn’t begin to explain what he does. For the first time, this post will explain how he built his business, some of the key lessons learned, and common mistakes with digital products. As you read, keep in mind two things: - He is, without a doubt, considered one of the smartest online marketers and traffic buyers (a key differentiator) in the world. - He started off knowing nothing and got there through intelligent testing. As Thomas J. Enjoy… Enter Mike Geary Can you describe your muse? My “muse” (i.e. business) is composed of three main components: What is the website for your muse?

Books To Base Your Life on (The Reading List) “I’m not saying that you have to be a reader to save your soul in the modern world. I’m saying it helps.” Walter Mosley I’ve always devoured books. My whole life and career, I’ve been seeking out, reading, and taking notes on books that can teach me things. I used to go around and ask every smart person I met—even emailing important people I didn’t know— “What books do you recommend to a kid like me?” Pick one of them up and let it lead you to another. Books to Base Your Life On The Meditations by Marcus Aurelius To me, this is not only one of greatest books ever written but perhaps the only book of its kind. Letters from a Stoic by Seneca After Marcus Aurelius, this is one of my favorite books. Man’s Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl Frankl is one of the most profound modern thinkers on meaning and purpose. 48 Laws of Power and Mastery by Robert Greene There is no living writer (or person) who has been more influential to me than Robert Greene.
