I found these two Common Blues hard at it in the long grass at the old brick yard by the Walrow Fishing ponds..they were joined together for ages..Well over twenty minutes! The female seemed to be pulling the male around and around the grass head..I was a little faint with excitement and had to smoke a rollie when they finally pulled apart!

Bad Behavior from Preston describe themselves as a six piece “balls to the wall” glam rock extravaganza and that pretty much sums this band up in a nutshell. The last competitive band of the competition and good lord, what a way to finish! Looking every part the Glam Rockers resplendent in their colourful outfits and make up, but it was really the front man, Phil Bailey, who not only took centre stage but looked the most avant garde a he did his level best to be the consummate front man. With three guitars on stage, the vocals were sometimes overwhelmed especially during 'Born To Party' but it was still a good performance overall. The bands cover was Alice Coopers' 'Man Behind the Mask', and although not one of the famous Cooper songs, it was nevertheless a good cover by the band. Bailey is predictably theatrical here which ties in very well with the bands image and although this is a proper band with serious musicians, there's nothing in the book saying that you can’t do it without planting your tongue firmly in your cheek! Their final number 'Apocalypse Now' was the best of the set with its great guitar riff that has the place jumping on and off stage. As the song reached its climax Bailey announced "This is the end!" and as the curtain falls on their performance, the band are greeted with generous applause as they take their final bows. What a great way to end the competition!

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.

This was taken during my longest dive of the holiday (135 minutes) and I am still impatient. Morays are quite rare in the Philippines (compared to the Red Sea) and when I found this fimbriated moray it was covered in cleaning shrimp.
For future reference. Wait patiently until the moray eel is comfortable again in order to make a much much cooler photograph!
TINTIN TAKES YOUR PARKING PLACE: how would you react ? Tintin has a tendency to park his vehicles everywhere, regardless, and often takes someone else's parking spot or assigned parking place. How rude ! But the right question to ask is: who is TINTIN really? If you read his adventures, you know that he often takes cars, small planes or helicopters that do not belong to him. So, in reality, he is a recidivist: a car thief and an airplane thief. This is his identity!

That's right.
Anti Social Behaviour Law grants London Police so-called dispersal powers within specified 'Good Behaviour Zones'.
'If an officer feels [not 'reasonably suspects'...just feels] that two or more people gathering in a public place are causing or are likely to cause anti social behaviour they may order them to disperse.' If you refuse their order to leave then you are committing an offence.

Truth alert! 🚨
You can either breakdown or build up your own success simply by what you choose to believe about yourself.
It’s true! Belief determines behaviour, and behaviour determines success.
If you are struggling with belief in yourself and your abilities, here are some tips!
1️⃣ Don’t compare yourself to others. Everyone was once a beginner. You can’t compare your Chapter 1 to someone else’s Chapter 10. All those people you are seeing with so much success, they had to begin somewhere too.
2️⃣ Don’t let past failures define future success. So you’ve started and stopped 100 times before. Or you’ve never reached your goals, or even started at all. Who cares? There is always time for a new beginning.
3️⃣ Keep good company. Be careful who you surround yourself with, because they can be loud critics or cheerleaders too. Lean in to those who already believe in you and let it influence your own belief. Then mute those who bring you down.
4️⃣ Accept that you will fail. The road to success is paved with potholes, mountains, valleys, and plateaus. There will be mistakes and ‘failures’ but that doesn’t mean you aren’t still headed towards success. Believe from the start that those setbacks will help you grow.
5️⃣ Act as who you want to become. Self-fulfilling prophecy is a powerful thing because belief impacts behaviour. If you believe you are a failure, then you will become that. But if you believe and act as if you are already successful, then you will have success.
Which one is sabotaging your belief in yourself the most? 👇
