PNC Park is a baseball park located on the North Shore of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. It is the fifth home of the Pittsburgh Pirates, the city's Major League Baseball (MLB) franchise. It opened during the 2001 MLB season, after the controlled implosion of the Pirates' previous home, Three Rivers Stadium.
PNC Park stands just east of its predecessor along the Allegheny River with a view of the Downtown Pittsburgh skyline. The ballpark is sponsored by PNC Financial Services, which purchased the naming rights in 1998. Constructed of steel and limestone, PNC Park features a natural grass playing surface and seats 38,747 people for baseball. 206
For most of its length the River Tamar marks the boundary between Cornwall on this side and Devon on the other. There was once a ferry here that took people (and then cars) across the river from Saltash to St Budeaux on the outskirts of Plymouth, but this was replaced by the large suspension bridge (out of shot to the left) in the early 1960s. Saltash was developed by the Normans and at one time was the only franchised seaport between Dartmouth and Fowey, long before Plymouth became established.
Here are two of real estate billionaire Stephen Alan Wynn’s Wynn and Encore luxury hotels and casinos, Las Vegas Strip, Nevada. He has more. When the topic occasionally popped up with hotel owners that I have spoken with, that is to say franchisees and franchisors, they were in awe of the dreamy properties and hotel empire that Mr. Wynn built. Isn’t capitalism grand?

This is Rhydon, the dinosaur-like Pokemon. Rhydon's horn is capable of drilling through rocks and even creating tunnels.
His strong hide is like armor that can withstand immense physical damage even from a cannonball blast.
He even has other strange features as well.
Some have even said that Rhydon has the ability to surf as well.
After seeing a good part usage for his horn, I have constructed Rhydon to become more
like a titan (that's why he's a little bigger than he should).

The Body Shop International Limited, trading as The Body Shop, is a British cosmetics, skin care and perfume company.
Founded in 1976 by Anita Roddick, the company currently has a range of 1,000 products sold in about 3,000 stores, divided between those owned by the company and franchised outlets in more than 65 countries.
Originally trading from Brighton, the company is now based in London Bridge and Littlehampton, West Sussex, and is owned by Brazilian cosmetics company Natura as a subsidiary of the Natura & Co group. The company had been owned by the French cosmetics company L'Oréal between 2006 and 2017. In September 2017, L'Oréal sold the company to Brazilian Natura & Co for £880 million. The original Body Shop, unaffiliated with Anita Roddick or The Body Shop International Limited, was opened in Berkeley, California in 1970 by Peggy Short and Jane Saunders. The shop featured dark green walls, locally made skin care products, and custom scenting with essential oils. The products were sold in simple containers with handwritten labels, and a discount was given to customers who brought in empty containers for refills.
Anita Roddick opened her own health and beauty shop, also named The Body Shop, in her hometown of Brighton in 1976. She started a business with the motivation to simply "make a living for herself and her two daughters while her husband was away travelling."
The business's original vision was to sell products with ethically-sourced, cruelty-free and natural ingredients. None of Roddick's products were tested on animals, and the ingredients were sourced directly from producers.
The shop began trading with just 25 products. Roddick had purchased urine sample bottles from a nearby hospital to sell her products in, but did not have enough of them, creating the business's refillable bottles policy. Labels were hand-written and Roddick did not advertise explicitly, preferring to rely on local press instead. In 1977, Roddick purchased another shop through selling 50% of the business to a local garage owner. Roddick's partner, Gordon, returned to Brighton from America in this time, and suggested the business foster growth through franchising. By 1984, the business had 138 stores, 87 of which were not located in the United Kingdom. By 1994, 89% of the business's locations would be franchises. The business went public in April 1984, and was floated on London's Unlisted Securities Market, opening at a price of 95p, with the Roddicks keeping 27.6% shares in the company, and Anita continued as managing director so as to retain control of the company's direction. After it obtained a full listing on the London Stock Exchange, share prices in the company increased dramatically, with prices rising 10,944 percent in the first eight years.
In 1987, Roddick offered $3.5 million to the owners of the original Body Shop, Peggy Short and Jane Saunders, for the exclusive rights to the business's name. They agreed to the sale, and in 1992 changed their business's name to "Body Time". The business closed in 2018.
After acquiring the US rights to the name, the UK business began trading in the United States in 1988, with all new stores in the States being company-owned until 1990.[citation needed]
Throughout the 1980s and 90s, the company joined a number of campaigns related to social responsibility and environmental issues. These included a "Trade Not Aid" campaign in 1987, wherein the company sourced some of its ingredients directly from the native communities they originated from. The company also made alliances with Greenpeace and Amnesty International.
On it's second day of commissioning on the Brighton Mainline, 387202 stands at Purley with 387201 on the rear, awaiting the road.
These units have been ordered as part of a franchise agreement to replace 27 year old class 442 units on Gatwick Express. services.

Au matin je n'ai toujours aucune nouvelle de ma valise perdue par Air France il y a 72 heures. Celle ci contient mon installation photographique attendue dans une galerie d'art de GINZA. Alors après une douche rapide pour se déstresser, on remet ses chaussures CAT, taille 45, et hop direction Tsukiji station pour son matinal breakfast à la franchise Pronto. Là où les petits matins nous offrent ce petit peuple propret et désireux de bien remplir leur work day. Je shoot. Le ventre plein direction du temple bouddhiste Hongwanji puis le Fish Market pour ensuite, bien plus loin sous une marche forcée passant le Kachidoki bridge, atteindre, épuisé, les quais de Toyomicho et ses entrepôts. Sur la route une cohorte de jeunes parents amène en vélo, sur leur porte bagage, enfants de bas âge vers leurs écoles proches et sacs à dos "spécial PC" en bandoulière. Je m'assoupi un instant sur un banc et retour sur l'énorme gare centrale de Tokyo. Après un déjeuner Eco Food Truck je reprends ma marche en direction du Palais impérial. Grands boulevards, hauts et rutilants immeubles récents ou à venir, le tout arboré avec science. Le Palais est là, planqué dans son écrin de verdure. Je m'y attarde peu et me dirige sur Jimbocho station et son quartier des livres anciens sous la pluie. Là où les femmes savent si bien tenir leur allure fière et leur parapluie ! Mon vagabondage se poursuivra de Jimbocho à Godzilla place, via Akihabara, durant toute la nuit jusqu'au lever du jour ... Une errance toujours à pinces, pas à pas, de quartiers en quartiers, de trottoirs étroits et sombres en boulevards larges et lumineux : une véritable plongée en solitaire ponctuée d'arrêts immersifs.

In the morning I still have no news of my bag lost by Air France 72 hours ago. This one contains my expected photographic installation that was to be exhibited in an art gallery in GINZA. So after a quick shower to de-stress, we put on his CAT shoes, size 45, and hop to Tsukiji station for his morning breakfast in the Pronto franchise. Where the early mornings offer us this little people clean and eager to complete their work day. I shoot. The belly full direction the Hongwanji Buddhist temple, then the Fish Market and then, much further under a forced march passing the Kachidoki bridge, reaching, exhausted, Toyomicho docks and warehouses. On the road a cohort of young parents bringing on their luggage, young children to their nearby schools and backpacks "special PC" slung. After falling asleep on a bench ... back on the Huge central station of Tokyo. After an eco food truck lunch I resume my walk towards the Imperial Palace. Great boulevards, high and gleaming newer buildings or future, all sported with science. The imperial palace is there hidden in its greenery. I spend little time there and head to Jimbocho station and its neighborhood of old books in the rain ... Where women know so well hold their ... umbrella! The vagrancy will continue from Jimbocho to Godzilla place, via Akihabara, all night until sunrise ... A wandering still on foot, step by step, from neighborhood to neighborhood, narrow and dark sidewalks in wide boulevards and bright : a real dive alone punctuated by immersive stops
US-27 Twin Drive In: I remember this drive-in being opened during the Covid pandemic where folks could stay in their cars. Kentucky travel restrictions and gatherings of fewer than 10 people ended in May of 2020.
The drive-in shuttered its gates in 2021. Gone. Dark. Ceased to be.

Hey guys!
Here is a small build that I wanted to do for a long time. I hadn't created anything from the MGS franchise until now, which is a shame because it is one of my all time favourites. Even before I was allowed to play them I fell in love with the design of these mechs.
And the Gekko is by far one of the coolest designs. I like REX and RAY a lot, but the Gekko just looks otherworldly. It has elements of the classic Metal Gear design but with those bionic legs and the way it walks and behaves, it has much more in common with an animal. Which is probably the reason they gave it cow noises in the game :D
After finishing the Jehuty, I wanted to continue building some of Yoji Shinkawas work. And when I saw Jakub Rozalski's amazing concept art, I knew I had to build the Gekko.
Therefore I built two different versions: One in grey used in the concept art and one in dark tan that resembles the in-game model.
Additionally, I recreated Jakub's concept art with LEGO Eskimos, because I like the setting and look of it so much.
There is something truly magical about seeing giant mechs in unusual environments.
If you want to build your own Gekko, you can get the instructions here: gum.co/GEKKO
Hope you enjoy!

Bristol Flyers vs London Lions, British Basketball League (BBL) game on Sunday 2nd April 2023, at SGS WISE Arena, New Road, Stoke Gifford, Bristol, during the 2022-23 season.
About the photographs.
Here, we have the Bristol Flyers players doing warming up before the start of their home game against the London Lions.
The kit they wear is not the actual jersey and shorts they play in, those shirts are simply put on over their actual jersey.
In the first photograph (0030), we have one of the players warming himself up by doing some dunks, while other players watch and wait for their turn.
In the next photo (0036), this is one of the Flyers players getting the ball that may have been passed onto him. In the background, you can see the other players doing some kind of jogging as part of the warm up.
The photos were shot with a 50mm lens on the Nikon D200, and taken from my courtside seat.
The game ended with Flyers 87 – 82 Lions, after an extra time due to being tied at the end of the game.
About the teams.
The Bristol Flyers was formed in 2006 by a merger of two former Bristol based teams, the Filton Flyers and the Bristol Academy, to become known as Bristol Academy Flyers. They started in the English Basketball League, in Division 2, and one year later, they moved up to Division 1.
By 2013, they got financial backing from the owner of Bristol City football club. As part of the deal, they moved into the top level franchise based BBL, for the 2014-15 season, that was when they became known simply as Bristol Flyers. Their highest finish in BBL was 4th place during the 2021-22 season.
London Lions actually started out as Hemel Hempstead Laker in 1977, and changed their name to Hemel Royals before moving to Watford, and finally moved to Milton Keynes.
They became known as Milton Keynes Lions, and that was when their performance improved, including winning the BBL Cup during the 2007-08 season.
By 2012, due to losing their home arena in Milton Keynes, they were relocated to London, thus renamed as the London Lions.

The Steel / Water type Pokemon Empoleon.
I suddenly realized the surprising use of the trident. I wonder why no one else has tried...
Anyways, Empoleon is a large penguin-like Pokemon that is full of pride and majesty.
His body looks similar to a tuxedo.
Bad to the bone...
First up is Marowak and Cubone. With these new bone pieces out, I instantly thought of these guys and used a white droid torso for Marowak's skull.
He was fun to make, but hard to balance. Gravity sure gets on my nerves...
Here is my Lego Compilation #1 of minifig-sized Pokemon. Hopefully I'll make some more.
Featuring Marowak, Cubone, Scyther, Magmar, Latios, and Gallade.
I'm not quite into the whole franchise, but micro monsters are certainly the best!
Another favorite is Feraligatr, the bulky crocodilian Pokemon.
He is most notably known for his battle-like stature, as well as his powerful jaw.
Feraligatr moves faster in water than in land, then brutally attacks its opponents by dragging them down into the depths.
