Not sure what to expected from the bulls in Round 5… Announcer Brandon Bates said it best… “Tonight is about heart. Tonight is about guts. It's about hanging it all out there.”
In the first flight, three of seven bulls are contenders for the title of PBR World Champion Bull. By the time the night was over, only thirteen riders covered their bulls. The rank pen of bulls had come to the PBR tonight, and you knew the action was going to be fast, dangerous, and very unpredictable.
Kody Lostroh from Longmont, CO rode Troubadour for 92.15 points to claim victory in round five. This is Kody’s second round win at the PBR World Finals this year, and Kody’s third match up with Troubadour.
This was another great night at the PBR World Finals; a lot of action, danger, and awesome rides. Me as I bring you the rides and unforgettable moments from Round 5 at the PBR World Finals in Las Vegas.
The Specialized Technical Committees (STCs), which constitute an important technical organ of the African Union (AU), were established under Article 25 of the African Economic Community Treaty (the Abuja Treaty). With the transformation of the OAU into the AU, the STCs were carried over by the Constitutive Act of the African Union under Articles 14 to 16.
The STCs are expected to work in close collaboration with the various departments of the Commission (AUC) so as to provide well-informed inputs in their areas of specialization to the work of the Executive Council. They should also, be involved in monitoring programme development and implementation by the AUC and Regional Economic Communities (RECs) on behalf of the Executive Council.
Therefore, the early operationalization of the STCs becomes imperative, given the overall objective of accelerating continental integration and the importance attached to the effective implementation of programmes and projects of the Union. To this end, the Assembly of the Union adopted The Decision; Assembly/AU/Dec.227 (XII) reconfiguring the existing STCs and created one on Communication and Information Technologies called Committee on Communication and ICT (CCICT);
The main activities and objectives of the CCICT in its areas of concern are :
I. Prepare projects and programmes of the Union and submit them to the Executive Council;
II. Ensure the supervision, follow-up and evaluation of the implementation of adopted programmes decisions taken by the organs of the Union;
III. Ensure the coordination and harmonization of projects and programmes of the Union;
IV. Submit to the Executive Council either on its own initiative or at the request of the Executive council reports and recommendations on the implementation of the AU programmes;
V. Carry out any other functions assigned to it for the purpose of ensuring the implementation of the provisions of the African Union Constitutive Act;
VI. Establish African Common e-strategies;
VII. Establish Pan-African TV and Radio Channels;
VIII. Discuss resources mobilization and capacity building for the implementation
IX. Oversee the promotion, co-ordination and the strengthening of CIT programmes for the accelerated economic growth of Africa;
X. Develop mechanisms through which CIT contributes to the establishment of the African information Society;
XI. Promote public investments on CIT infrastructure services and applications;
XII. Develop frameworks for the harmonization policies and regulations in the Continent.
The expected result is a Ministerial declaration with recommendations drawn from the reports, strategies and action plans for projects and programs implementation

T702 Class 116 DMU BR Blue (53867 59372 53920). The last Class 116 set in BR Blue!
A modified Bachmann Class 117 converted to a 116 using Dapol
Throughout the build of this project I fully expected Bachmann to announce a class 116 and no doubt now I’ve nearly finished one will appear soon! Anyhow here’s a few notes on my version of the last Class 116 set in BR Blue (See Railcar.co.uk for an excellent write up of the prototype!
Class 116 DMBS & DMS modifications:
The hardest modification is the removal of the guards grille on the DMBS which appeared on refurbishments of 117s. This has been scraped off and filled then primed and painted over. Also while doing this the guards handrails have been replaced to be two piece. I also replaced the moulded grab hand rails on the DMS.
The front cab needs handrails removing . The Derby cab roof is from a Dapol 122 roof and the extra roof marker is just a bit of plastikard and metal brass.
Transfers are ones I've drawn in inkscape. They're about right but not exact! I've finished off with satin Varnish and while it won't win any prizes I'm quite pleased with the effect.
The destination blinds are printed paper between two bits of clear plastic and is illuminated behind using the Bachmann circuit board but modified to illuminate the top and so I removed the window destination LED etc. The circuit board needed a little extra modification to allow it to run on it’s own and is fitted with a DCC sound decoder.
Also replaced is the front glazing with Shawplan laserglaze with the front window frames reduced in thickness. In a moment of madness I opened out the exhaust to make it look more like a tube than a bit of plastic.
I quite enjoyed adding some damage to the DMS – nice to be deliberate for a change!
Class 116 TC modifications:
The is a combination of a Bachmann TCL and DMS and have been chopped and joined to have the right window combination. This also means the interior needs modifying to remove the toilet and add in the extra compartments. It all took a lot of sanding and filling!
Common to All:
The interior lighting circuits have been completely replaced and I can now control separate Head/Tail/Cab/Interior & destination lights on DCC for each coach.
The roof vents where replaced with MJT shell vents.
In a moment of more madness I decided to remove the window frame surrounds on the Bachmann body. It wasn’t an easy task but with the unit being plain blue I wanted the smooth side look. (I didn’t bother doing this on my NSE 116 as it’s not that noticeable!)
The base underframe has been enhanced to add lots of underframe detailing, extra wires etc! Converted to EM gauge using DCC concepts 12mm wheels by using the original axles to maintain the same pickup system.
Following a general blast with an airbrush detail light weathering has been done using acrylics. The buffer shafts have been painted silver.... thinly so they still work!
Overall a long but entertaining project!
This is a photo of the same 6.5 week-old fetal kitten, now free of its supportive placental and amniotic sac structures. The crown-rump length is about 8.5cm, which makes it slightly too long for the 38-44 day gestational age range (hence why I have aged it at about 44-46 days).
Mixed use space for offices, collaboration, events, lecture hall and meeting spaces. Building expected to be occupied August/2013.
We expected a good cuisine while walking. Unfortunately theses guys were
busy running. Those hats - did they last? The running cooks (Joss
Restaurant) definitely contribute to a healthy lifestyle - all the good food
needs some calorie burning.
My favorite photograph from this shoot. Mom and Dad were telling little Brooke how much they loved her and how excited they were that she was going to have a baby sister soon... Brooke stood still for just a second and then she was off and running which you'll see in the next photo ! :-)
An old friend of mine during university days has settled in Perth and is expecting a baby boy shortly. It was with great pleasure I'm able to photograph a very happy expecting mother.

A selection of photos from last nights opening performance of The World at Your Feet – An Immersive Theatre experience where the audience became part of the narrative, telling Plymouths colourful history on diversity and immigration.
Embarking on a fantastic nights entertainment we left the Mayflower steps by boat and by bus, and arrived at the royal william yard not knowing what to expect.

The Global Beard Oil Market size is expected to reach $1.34 billion by 2025, rising at a market growth of 6.3% CAGR during the forecast period (2019-2025).
Beard oil moisturizes the skin and helps to grow and soften beard hair, which means it also acts as a styling agent. The ideal beard should have a shiny appearance and well-groomed - not shaggy and flaky. Even the tiniest amount of beard oil is good enough to tame the beard hair, which has been possible with the moisturizing quality of beard oils. And this often ignored product functions as natural cologne, with so many musky/wood essential ingredients such as cedarwood and sandal wood. Essential oil inside beard oils enhances circulation and promotes the keratin levels to strengthen the actual hair as it grows.
Beard oil is produced to replicate the normal skin oils called sebum. Carrier type oils typically contain A, D, and E vitamins as well as high linoleic acid concentration and low oleic acid concentrations. In an attempt to improve its characteristics and aroma, natural and synthetic fragrances can be added to the oil. Natural fragrances are derived separately from synthetic fragrances (essential oil, absolute oils, and extracts) and comprise various chemical compounds which improve their function. This can give antibacterial, deodorant, anti-inflammatory, as well as anti-aging characteristics of the beard oils.

expect to see a lot of this belly dancer for a while, as for now I'm off to go celebrate the 238957 birthday this week.
Despite of summer heat, no water or fertilizer, this plant still vigorously grows thru the gap of my wood deck.
