I left the North-East back in 1980 because of the awful job prospects in this area after the closing of the Shipyards. Sunderland in 1850 was the largest […]
The first little neural correlate deserves a hat tip to PsyBlog for linking to an interesting and very relevant piece of neuroscience research originally reported in Science Magazine dated 3 October 2008 Hagar Gelbard-Sagiv et al report that as we experience anything memorable, the storage of the memory of that event can be monitored as […]
I have for a long time been a fan of the Riverford Farm and its organic veg boxes (source of my BatMilk story) which has led to a franchisee called Rivernene Farm which now supplies the Peterborough area where I live. What interested me most was the way that alongside the sumptious box of vegetables […]
Something vibrant and visual to cheer you up. I stumbled upon this prototype of a Flickr search engine called Hive Mind. Take a look at the results when you search for ‘fractal’

We believe in praxis and focus on building methods, tools and capability that apply the wisdom from Complex Adaptive Systems theory and other scientific disciplines in social systems.
