The author of this F- and C-bomb filled message clearly feels irked by the behaviour of some cyclists on the Old Tollbridge. Whatever the details, I don't think that this is appropriate behaviour. I have erased the obscenities.

By no means a technically perfect image but it does show nicely the behaviour of Spotted Flycatchers. I think the bird being fed is actually the female and not a juv.
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.

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!

I was watching this young Eastern Kingbird out hunting his dinner. What he did next was something I have never seen a flycatcher do - he picked a choke cherry!
No idea what is happening here ?

Today was equally as great, for different reasons but still great :)
I finally got out mountainbiking after about 2 months of being off the bike. Suprisingly I didn't do too badly, not beastly fast however no crashes and kept things together well as far as line choices go. Daniel my cousin and myself decided to try the whole national champs course top to bottom in Tollymore Forest Park and it was brilliant. I had done sections of it myself before and the last time Daniel tried it he managed to hospitalise himself on a road gap :P I found a hardly ridden alternate line that allowed us to mix together some reeeally nice, fast, flowy singletrack with some smaller jumps/drops and then the best bits of the more technical champs course itself. Well worth the effort getting to the summit :) We also tried another run down the mountain beside it which we were much more familiar with. Also did well there too :)
The weater was awesome, and the ground was just at that sweet point of being dry/damp enough to get a nice balance of grip/drifting :) Super fun.
I did however notice a change in how I saw the forest while I was up there. When I'm usually on my bike I'm looking at line choices and fun little features to throw in whilst pushing up to the top of the run. Today I was doing that but I was also looking at how the light hit the ground/gaps in the trees/translucent leaves/potrait+fashion locations. It felt completely natural too and Daniel has got used to me stopping for pictures like this. I now have a few spots on the mountain that I would like to try and shoot over the summer, just need a model.. hmm.
I also finished trawling through yesterday's photos. I decided against working on every single shot before uploading as there were simply just too many so most are SOOC bar a crop on some. I dropped them into an album on facebook but I think I will rework some of them and throw them up here when I get the time.
Thank God for the man who decided to make Adobe Lightroom 2 lol :) Saved me HOURS of work today. Hours I spent having fun :)
This was taken on the middle section of the champs course. I think the mighty erricsson did well considering the harsh sunlight and deep shadows. It is my digital lomo camera :)
BIG behaviour (if you want)
I cannot confirm it but to the best of my knowledge this is the Curraheen Walkway and I was at Lee Fields when I found it.
Sadly there were many signs of anti-social behaviour and I suspect that items of street-furniture such a litter bins and signage had been set alight.
A person that I met on the trail mentioned that I might see an a coypu and I had no idea what he was talking about. Later, on my return to the hotel, I checked online and found the following “The public has being asked to report sightings of any coypus, sometimes mistaken for otters, after one was spotted in or near the River Lee near the Lee Fields in Cork City recently”.
I did not see any big rodents but there were many horses and dogs to be seen.
Tameside - Safe4Summer.
The initiative is part of the Government’s mission to restore and strengthen local policing in communities and reduce or prevent anti-social behaviour (ASB). As part of this, there will be a greater visibility of Greater Manchester Police (GMP) officers and partners as we work together across crime hot spot areas.
Kate Green, Deputy Mayor for Safer and Stronger Communities, said: "We’re determined to ensure Greater Manchester is a safer place for everyone. The Safer Streets Summer Initiative is a testament to our dedication to reducing crime and enhancing the quality of life for our residents.
“By continuing to work closely with our communities and partners, we aim to create an environment where everyone feels safe and can enjoy not only the summer but all year round and every year. We’ll be working hard to ensure our town centres are safe and welcoming for all.”
Assistant Chief Constable Matt Boyle, GMP’s lead for Local Policing, said: “Our neighbourhoods are negatively impacted by various crimes such as the illegal use of e-bikes, drug dealing and other ASB.
“As a force, it’s our mission to listen to our community’s concerns and take action where crime is committed. Our proactive approach to tackling neighbourhood crime has meant that since 2021, we’ve reduced burglary by a third and vehicle crime by a quarter, thanks to the dedication of our local neighbourhood teams, working closely with partners across the region.
“Over the summer months, they will be focusing on increasing engagement with our communities to listen and respond to their concerns. Residents and business owners will also see an increase in the visibility of officers and partners, as we work together to ensure a safe summer for all. This isn’t about trying to spoil people’s fun over the summer months, it is making sure everyone can enjoy themselves without feeling unsafe or being hurt.
“We welcome the Home Office initiative, which perfectly aligns to the neighbourhood policing model our force implemented locally two years ago. Safe4Summer is the perfect opportunity to highlight the strength of our partnerships in Greater Manchester, and our determination to minimise crime and disorder and to ensure Greater Manchester is a safer and more desirable place for all.”
TravelSafe Partnership Manager at Transport for Greater Manchester, Kate Green, said: “While the vast majority of people using the Bee Network do so safely and responsibly, we know that crime and anti-social behaviour increases over school holidays, and that is not something we will tolerate.
“We work hard every day to keep people safe, whether that’s through our engagement programme or the many proactive operations that take place. We will have an increased presence across the Bee Network to prevent and deter incidents, helping people to travel and enjoy their summer safely and with confidence.”
In 2023, Greater Manchester Police made a commitment that every district ward has a named local police officer, and we would keep communities informed through our use of the community messaging service, Bee in the Loop, which provides the latest news on events and incidents straight to your email inbox.
In April 2025, we welcomed the opportunity to further strengthen our neighbourhood offer, with an increase in numbers of neighbourhood officers by 176, to help GMP to continue to deliver in tackling crime and working with partners and communities to keep our streets safe.
To receive free direct email alerts about how your Neighbourhood Policing Team is keeping your area safe, sign up to Bee in the Loop - www.beeintheloop.co.uk.
To report crime in your neighbourhood, contact the police via LiveChat at www.gmp.police.uk, or by calling 101 or dialling 999 in an emergency.
Interesting behaviour from some Ichneumon wasps of the Campopleginae seen on the redcurrant bush in the garden. Two were in cop when a second male flew in and wanted to take over. A tussle occurred resulting in the incomer usurping the first male. Further tussles, and then a third male arrived as seen in preceding video clip. Additional pictures below form an action sequence.
Vocational training and cognitive behavioural therapy form the backbone of many rehabilitation programmes around the world. Drawing from the Inspire Project and Bangkok Rules, Thailand has developed corrections-based rehabilitation programmes that equip prisoners with the skills and knowledge needed to create products, seek employment opportunities, and reintegrate into society.
Taken after the Harlot talk/pub, but before midnight, April 1st 2008 as part of "inexplicable knitter behaviour" day.
I swear I heard Steph say "anyone who ignored the 'horse' part, and mounts a police officer: automatic first place in the freestyle category".
I fled the bar in search of an obliging man in blue. Couldn't find any cops roaming the street, but remembered this one at the Police Union on College.
We approached with caution... is mounting a police statue a crime? We only had a chance to snap two quick photos before a security vehicle drove by and beeped at us!
But I think he looks very fetching with my GoKnit pouch on his wrist, don't you...? :)

Timber members exposed to natural fires
During a Phd project the combustion behaviour of wood under various thermal exposure conditions is investigated. This is the thermal exposure (radiation and gas temperature) and the oxygen content. The project should give answers about the behaviour of structural timber in the cooling phase which is not well understood until now.

A classical E3 moment. Some girls walk onto a big stage and start blabbering into a microphone about a competition, and the next second a huge group of gibbering guys are jumping around, behaving like ... well, you get the picture. I've concluded that it is probably just an American thing, this standing in big groups and making some NOOOOOISE (which the blonde girl was constantly asking for) in order to have some T-shirts or other kinds of swag thrown at them. E3 in a nutshell.
