The 'support coaches' for GWR 7029 ''Clun Castle'' and LMS 5593 ''Kolhapur'' at Crickewood 'Steam open day' in summer 1969. Those two locos were at either end of short rake of carriages on a 'shuttle' service, running up and down the yards.. The loco beyond the LMS coach is an 8F, in LMS livery, and on the right, is a BR steam crane..
This was the nearest thing to mainline steam travel that was available at that time, as steam - apart from 4472 - was 'banned' from BR mainline tracks, and 4472 was in the USA, on its ill-fated promotional trip...
Also in the scene, a vintage ice-cream van - probably a Bedford - and NHS spectacles..

TAO supports orphans & vulnerable children by training their carers to create agri-businesses. An important aspect of this is training in financial management and developing a savings culture.
Here a beneficiary of our project in Oyam District demonstrates putting savings into a secure box. This is part of the Village Savings & Loans Association (VSLA). By pooling their savings and lending funds where needed, members of the Group can invest in farming inputs such as goats or oxen, or borrow for one-off expenditure such as school books for children, and pay-back from their agricultural income.

Taiwan Massive rally in support of marriage equality.
Hundred thousands participate in a music festival to support “marriage equality” on December 10 2016, International Human Rights Day.
The music festival on Ketagalan Boulevard in front of the Presidential Office was one of the biggest gay rights events in Taiwan.
The event, coinciding with Human Rights Day, came amid pressure from some civic groups seeking to push the government on legalization the bill for same-sex marriage.
The organizers invited local and foreign pop music stars including Taiwanese singers Suming Rupi, Dai Ailing. Philippine pop chanteuse Sandee Chan and Hong Kong Canto-pop singer Denise Ho.
Taiwanese lawmakers are currently working on three bills in support of marriage equality, one of which is already listed for review and might be passed within months. Same-sex marriage also has the prominent support of President Tsai Ing-wen, Taiwan's first female president of the Formosa island.
The anti- “marriage equality” camp last Saturday held demonstrations in Northern, Central and Southern Taiwan to protest the same-sex marriage bills, arguing that the draft amendments to the Civil Code were contrary to traditional family values.

How can we use open data to develop services that support communities to buy cheaper energy, use it more efficiently or potentially make their own?
This challenge invited teams including businesses, startups, social enterprises, community groups, academics, students and special interest groups to collaborate and compete with each other to use open data to build services that support communities to either:
- Group buy their energy and save money;
- Undertake community based energy efficiency interventions;
- Start to generate their own energy.
The Disney Store's Maleficent doll is now fully deboxed. She is posed standing, supported by a Kaiser stand. She photographed in natural light from all angles.
Review of Maleficent Disney Film Collection Doll
The Maleficent doll has realistic features, so looks like a real person rather than an animated character or a generic doll. She resemblances the character as portrayed by Angelina Jolie, but I think her features are too heavy to make it a good likeness. Her head also seems oversized. She has very pale tan skin that is almost pasty. Her expression is also a little dull and listless. Her lips are very full, I think too full, and forms a slight pout. Her lower lip has a series of four silver dots, that grow smaller towards the right (her left). Her eyes are narrow, and colored green and yellow. She has dark eyeliner around her eyes, short thin eyelashes above and below her eyes, and arched black eyebrows. She has prominent cheekbones, but not as pronounced as in the movie. Overall, she doesn't exude power, or evil or beauty, as she should. She has headgear of faux black leather, that entirely covers her head, forms a widow's peak over her forehead, and has long double curving horns on top, that are angled towards the back. It does not appear to be removable, but is a solid molded piece that is glued to her head. She has no hair.
She has the same body construction as that of the 2012 Disney Classic Princess 12'' dolls, and is same as the Aurora doll in this series. She is 11 1/2'' tall to the top of her head, standing in her high heeled boots, and 13'' to the top of her horns. She has 13 points of articulation, with ball jointed neck, shoulders, elbows, wrists, hips and ankes, and hinge jointed knees. The legs are made of hard plastic, but the knee joints are not stiff enough to prevent her legs from being slightly bowed. Also because of her hip construction, her legs splay out when they are bent at the hips for her to sit down.
She has a full length gown that is textured and is dull black in color. There are dress details and double layered collar out of faux leather. The front of the gown is about a half inch off the ground. Her gown is a a couple of inches longer in the back than the front, forming a short rounded train, with black satin trim. When extended, it looks like the tail of a bird. Her sleeves are over-sized and attached to the sides of her dress almost to the hemline. With her arms extended out towards the sides the sleeves look like bat wings. There is a tear drop shaped black jewel at the neckline. The gown fits her very well, and drapes nicely. She is wearing a wide black faux leather choker that is removable. On her arms are black knit fingerless gloves that go up to her elbows. Unfortunately, no matter how hard I tug on the gloves, I can't get her thumbs to show, and her other four fingers are mostly hidden. I did discover that she is wearing a painted black ring on the index finger of her right hand.
She is wearing knee high black boots that are apparently the same as those made for the Disney Film Collection Wicked Witch of the West Doll, from Oz the Great and Powerful, in 2013.
The only accessory is a her magic staff. The staff is dark brown plastic stick 9 inches long that is fairly stiff and straight. It is made to look like two thin branches twisted together. At the end is an oval shaped yellow and green magic crystal, that matches the colors of Maleficent's eyes. It does not have any handle to make it easier for the doll to hold it in her hand. I have deboxed it, but haven't had time to figure out how the attach it to her hand, so I left it out of my photographs so far.
Overall, I like this doll, and I think she is worth the $35 price tag, but I don't love her. By far the best feature of the doll is her gown, with the train resembling a bird's tail and sleeves mimicking a bat's wings. What is most disappointing about the doll is that she doesn't look all that much like Angelina Jolie as Maleficent, and she doesn't have a commanding presence. It is also disappointing that she has the problematic legs of the 2012 Classic Princess dolls.
Purchase Details
I just received my online order (on Tuesday, May 13, 2014) from the Disney Store, of the newly released Disney Maleficent Movie Dolls. The dolls are the Maleficent and Aurora 12'' dolls from the Disney Film Collection. I ordered them last Tuesday, when the dolls were released online, so it took exactly one week to arrive. Both dolls look very good, but I'm liking Aurora more at this point, mainly because I like her face more than Maleficent's. I think the Dark Beauty Maleficent doll by Jakks Pacific is a better likeness of Angelina Jolie as Maleficent. I will post photos of both dolls boxed, then during deboxing, and finally fully deboxed. I will also show them side by side with other comparable dolls, especially the Jakks versions.

A crowd gathers in Cathedral Park under the St. Johns Bridge in Portland, Oregon, to cheer on climbers attempting to block the Shell leased icebreaker, MSV Fennica July 29, 2015. The climbers are currently preventing the ship from passing underneath the bridge on its way to meet Shell’s drilling fleet. The climbers have enough supplies to last for several days. According to the latest federal permit, the Fennica must be at Shell’s drill site before Shell can reapply for federal approval to drill deep enough for oil in the Chukchi Sea.

Once again, as in the past few years, Nottingham officially failed to celebrate St. George's Day, the National Day of England. But that didn't stop some people showing their patriotic support for the day. Although the huge Flag of England on the Council House is impressive, that's where it stops.
There was little or no interest from establishments in and around the city.
There was almost no mention St. George's Day across social media, local and national media outlets.

A U.S. Army Soldier is confronted by role players wanting U.S. help during the Cultural Support Assessment and Selection program. The U.S. Army Special Operations Command's cultural support program prepares all-female Soldier teams to serve as enablers supporting Army special operations- combat forces in and around secured objective areas. The Cultural Support Assessment and Selection program is conducted by the U.S Army John F. Kennedy Special Warfare Center and School at Fort Bragg, N.C. and is five days of physical, mental and intellectual evaluations designed to determine a candidate's ability to maintain her composure, apply logic, communicate clearly and solve problems in demanding environments. During this time, candidates are expected to skillfully manage simultaneous tasks and comprehend ambiguous instructions while working under varying degrees of uncertainty with little feedback. The program is as much a mental test as it is a physical test. The desired outcome of Assessment and Selection is a candidate pool of female Soldiers who are eager to serve with an Army special - operations unit. Their primary task is to engage female populations in objective areas when such contact may be deemed culturally inappropriate if performed by a male service member. The program is conducted at Camp Mackall, in Hofman N.C. If selected, candidates are invited back to Fort Bragg as Cultural Support training students. The training period is between four and six weeks and focuses on cross-cultural communication skills. Students are also trained to negotiate, mediate, communicate through an interpreter and engage with local leaders in a deployed environment. (U.S.Army photo by SSG.

The Astrosurfer: an atomic-powered intergalactic sports car, accompanied by the hit new space rock band The Highway Stars! This epic futuristic vehicle is detailed and articulated with wheels, rubber tires, hinged doors, reclining seats, and with access to the car’s trunk. On the hood of the car is a metallic minifigure hood ornament, and underneath is a detailed engine. In the rear of the car are two folding jet engines, a set of tailpipes, a spoiler, and an Octan bumper sticker.
Background: this project was initially conceived back in fall 2015, during my long, imaginative train of thought. In late November of 2015, I took some photos of my Futuron minifigs in front of Christmas lights for an artistic bokeh effect. This led me to come up with the idea of taking a group shot of a few spacemen hanging out as friends, accompanied by lyrics from the Ramones song “I Just Want to Have Something to Do.” This soon evolved into the idea of making each of the spacemen as musicians in a fictional band, that was inspired by the music video for the aforementioned song — which starts off with the Ramones playing the song in the back of a car. With this concept in mind, in early December I took a photo of some Futuron minifigs playing instruments in front of Christmas lights. Upon releasing this photo, I was then struck with another bolt of inspiration while watching the music video for Monster Magnet’s “Negasonic Teenage Warhead“: towards the end of the video, the band takes off in a purple classic Buick and flies through space! This idea hit me, and that night I had a dream to build a futuristic space sports car being driven by a rock band — essentially an amalgamation of those videos by the Ramones and Monster Magnet, along with my previous LEGO space photography!
Production for this creation began immediately after Christmas 2015, as I was preoccupied in December with production of my LEGO Nutcrackers and electronic Mega Man sprite. The bulk of this model was completed in the middle of January, but unfortunately I ran into one tiny (yet major) obstacle: I wanted a Classic Space symbol flag for the car’s antenna, however the Collectible Minifigure that contained this particular part wasn’t available in the United States yet. It wasn’t until early February that these figures were available (scarcely) at my local Toys ‘Я’ Us in Whitestone. I felt up all of the packages, and managed to snag the very last astronaut, thus obtaining that seemingly-insignificant flag for the antenna!
The five astronauts are made from authentic Classic Space minifig bodies, hence the noticeable play wear in their insignia. I did however deviate by giving them helmets with color-coordinated visors, as well as contemporary faces. The instruments were from other Collectible Minifigure sets, with the exception of the drum kit. For the car’s design, I initially wanted to build an accurate replica of a 1957 Chevrolet Bel-Air or perhaps a Cadillac Eldorado — but instead, I opted to make an original design of an arbitrary concept. The two-tone color scheme wasn’t intentional: I wanted to make the car solid pink, but had to instead make use with available pieces in the pink/purple color family.

Support the exhaust system in the middle before dropping it. Who the hell puts a toolbox under a car to support an exhaust system? Me.
Surprisingly, hoisting that baby up on to the cake board and riser went well. I only had a mild heart attack when I realized one of my wheel wells had collapsed a bit. Now on to make the tires.

I'm not sure of this--there are iron fastenings holding bars extending throughout the building of Tucker's Store (1825) [in Charlotte Court House, Virginia] apparently used as supports for the structure. As to age, I've been unable to find out. If my information is inaccurate regarding this device, I'd love a correction.
