Hunting Dangerous Game In Africa

For hunters around the world Africa holds the greatest concentration and variation of dangerous game hunting. Unfortunately these days one can no longer do an “old fashioned” Big 5 safari as one of the Big 5 is Rhino which is an endangered species due to long term poaching for its horn. The remaining members of the Big 5 are Elephant, Buffalo, Lion and Leopard. One can hunt for these species in Africa and one of the best value-for-money destinations is undoubtably Zimbabwe in Southern Africa.

Elephant are arguably the most exciting and exhilarating of the Big Game species to hunt. Elephant hunting is very time consuming, and for this reason it is recommended that hunts are a minimum of 14 days in length, 18 to 21 day Safaris are better when combining elephant with other species. 10 day hunts can be arranged and several concessions are used depending on the time of the year your Safari is booked. The best times of the year are generally early March through May and at the peak of the dry season in October and November. A respectable bull can generally be taken without too much walking, For the classic Elephant safari, expect to walk at least several miles per day. Sizes in Zimbabwe range between 35lbs and 50lbs, with several trophies annually reaching the 70lb or even 80lb mark.

Rifles and ammo for Elephant – Any rifle from .375 upwards is both legal and acceptable for hunting an Elephant with. For Elephant and Buffalo, (any African game in fact), I always suggest that you bring the largest caliber rifle which you can shoot confidently and competently. This is exactly the crux of the matter. So many hunters carry a cannon of immense proportions (Professional hunters included) which they cannot handle well. There is a definite tendency, in my opinion, for hunters shooting a larger caliber to aim in the general area of the vitals and pull the trigger, relying on the size of the bullet to compensate for a possibly less than perfect bullet placement. This is a bad mistake and I have seen countless instances where a bunch of slightly bad shots (both body and head shots) fail to slow the animal down. This is bad enough if he is departing, but much more serious when hes heading in your direction at speed. I havent counted, but I think I am correct in saying that a much higher proportion of elephant on my safaris have been shot perfectly with the first shot by .375 and .416 caliber’s than .450 and bigger rifles. It is all about shot placement, and not the size of the cannon you are using.

Having said this, though, Ill contradict myself a little now, by saying that it feels good when you are up-close-and-personal with Elephants, especially in the thick stuff, to be holding some substantial hardware. The bigger the better! I do a lot of Elephant hunting very early and late in the season, when it is really thick and (I carry a .416 Rem. Mag made by Blaser) there are often times when Id like to be holding something closer to an RPG7 rocket launcher! The .416, however, has not let me down yet and Im now going into my 11th hunting season with it. There are such a vast array of suitably sized calibers out there today, most of which (Loaded with the correct bullets) can do the job well enough. There is certainly something fitting about hunting an elephant (arguably) the ultimate African big game animal) armed, in the age-old tradition, with a double rifle. Although I dont use a double rifle myself, I guide a lot of hunters who do. I am often tempted to get one.

Buffalo are more sought after than any of the other dangerous game species because they are very challenging animals to hunt and are extremely tough to kill. They are hunted throughout the year in most areas of Zimbabwe and a 10 to 14 day Safari is recommended although one can do 5 and 7 day Buffalo packages. Buffalo combines very well with other Big Four animals and Plains game. Also very popular are the safari options offering 2 Buffalo etc. Buffalo are tracked and hunted on foot, with the biggest concentrations found from March to early December.

Rifles and ammo for Buffalo – This is the one animal which you need to bring both softs and solid bullets for. If youre not after a bunch of Plains game, a box of each is more than enough, otherwise a box of solids and two of softs if you you’re using one rifle for all. As for Elephant, .375 or bigger is needed. Most calibers in the correct range work fine, except for extremely fast bullets. I dont like bullets faster than 2600fps. With faster bullets you have more chance of bullet failure in the animal, and more chance of deviation when shooting through brush. Buffalo are renowned for soaking up punishment with little visible effect. If the first shot is perfect the animal will die in a very short space of time, probably after running less than 100 yards. If the first shot is less than perfect, I have often seen Buffalo take 8 or 10 heavy caliber bullets (or more) before they go down. Obviously a good soft bullet through the vitals will kill a Buffalo that little bit quicker than a solid, but I still like the hunter to load with solids at all times except when shooting at an animal in a herd. There is no substitute for a well placed shot with a deep, straight penetrating bullet. A solid will penetrate deeper and straighter than any soft. My preferred solids are Federal Premium loaded with Trophy bonded sledgehammer. A solid with a flat meplat will always penetrate deeper than a round nose bullet before beginning to deviate. For softs I recommend Swift A Frame (loaded by Remington and Norma), Barnes X triple shock (loaded by Barnes), Trophy Bonded Bear Claw (loaded by Federal). Hunting Buffalo with anything less than a bonded core bullet of heavy construction, you are asking for trouble. Advice I will give you when were hunting Buff or Elephant is to be ready to empty your magazine into him after the first shot if he is clear of other animals.

There are few remaining countries in Africa that still offer good quality fair-chase Lion hunting. Zimbabwe is one of them, and it has some excellent Lions with the Government owned National Parks areas producing some of the finest Trophies. Since the Political problems of recent years, most privately owned areas are not a viable option. We hunt lions both on baits and by tracking, concentrating more on tracking in the dry season when conditions are favorable.

Leopard are the most widely distributed of the dangerous game animals. A 14 day Safari in a top area gives you your best chances at a good male. The hunt can be combined with Lion, Buffalo and plains game very effectively, but is never the less hard work and time consuming. Leopards are shot over bait in daylight in Zimbabwe National Parks areas. I have had 100% success since 2003 and one failure in 2009.

Rifles and ammo for Lion and Leopard – For Cats I like a fairly fast bullet i.e. 2500 fps or faster and this is the one instance (along with crocodile) where Im even happy to use a really fast bullet travelling at around 3000 fps. I do believe that the hydrostatic shock affecting tissues (and thus spine) around the bullet path can be enough to put the cat down on the spot. This is always first prize when shooting a Leopard or Lion from a blind, as there are few situations I like less in my job than getting up to the bait tree after the shot only to find no sign of the cat.

As for bullets, you still need a well constructed bullet even though cats do not have heavy bones. They are all muscle and I have heard of an instance where an A square Lion load failed to penetrate the chest muscles of a male Lion. Id still be happy with heavy bullets with a little more expansion like the Scirocco (also by swift).

Following a wounded Lion I carry my .416 Rem Mag. Following a wounded Leopard I carry my .416 if I dont have my shotgun. If I have my Benelli M3 Super I carry that, but will always have at least one slug as my first round in case I get a shot at over about 12 feet. If the cat is over that distance, my Benelli is going to give me at least 2 shots. With buckshot, unless I get a clear body shot I believe I am wasting precious ammunition at over 12 feet.

The Urban Touch With Exposed Brick Walls

The exposed brick wall has captured the hearts of the young urbanites for years with their interior designs and is finding its path from the inner cities to the suburbs around the country. Not every wall in your home should have an exposed brick wall, but the texture, age and color can bring the room character and warmth.

Before Exposing the Brick

Before exposing the brick wall make sure the brick is in great condition. Some brick can deteriorate over time and become damaged. It wont look appealing and interior designs will not be able to save it. Make a small opening or even try to examine the brick through an electrical fixture. This should allow you to determine the quality and color of the brick.

Construction

How much work are you willing to take on? This question is something else to consider before tearing down the plaster or drywall that is over your brick wall. Consider the elbow grease needed to take down the plaster, the amount of mess, and cleaning the brick to get it presentable. If the brick wall behind the plaster is going to require a lot of work and cleaning do research on what sort of cleaning method to use; steel brushes, muriatic acid, or sandblasting. The type of cleaning method can also be decided based on if someone is living in this space and the amount of clean up. Cleaning a brick wall depending on its size can be a time consuming job but the interior designs can be just the push to get the job done.

Accent Walls

The look and character a room presents is very important and the interior designs you can add around this brick accent wall bring charm and character to any space. Bedroom design ideas are endless bringing in a cottage charm appearance.

The kitchen design ideas with copper pans and greenery in corners make it a room to stay in for more than just eating and cooking. Living room designs with big cozy leather couches, throw blankets and big pillows add to the warmth of an exposed brick wall. The exposed brick accent wall can enhance any room with adding just a simple pieces and dcor.

Efficiency

The interior designs are endless when exposing a beautiful brick wall, but be aware that by removing the plaster or drywall this also removes some insulation from the wall. It may cause the room to be heated more or be drafty if it is an outside wall. Always make sure that the heating system in place will be strong enough to cover the space if more heating is necessary and that the increased cost is within budget.

Always do the research as with any home project to make sure that the end result can be accomplished without causing more damage and ask a professional to come check out the wall before construction starts. An exposed interior brick wall is a beautiful addition to any room and the interior designs added to the space make it an original space with a personal touch.

Construction Party Supplies Will Make Building A Party A Lot Of Fun

Getting ready to host a party and not sure what kind of party to host, how about trying a party that makes use of construction party supplies. First thing that is need is to come up with a game plan on how to make use of this basic idea that has just started to come together. A construction party will take a lot of preplanning therefore planning early will be very beneficial. There are few things that come to mind when thinking about this type of party and can quickly be placed on the list; hard hats, tools belts, construction or design papers for something being built. Finally, think about other construction tools and objects such as various tools, tool belts, tape measures and other similar objects.

What else could be used in make this kind of party? The answer to that question maybe a personal preference in that construction is a wide open idea. Tools such as drills, tape measures, hard hats and other types of tools will be very popular at this party. However this could be expanded to include the people who design the building for the construction workers to make, so there might be; protractors, computer aided design programs, etc. This could be expanded upon even further, so let’s get back to the party requirements instead.

The Construction party theme can utilize a variety of tools and construction objects to create party supplies such as plates, tables and bowl. After all there is no limits on how creative one can be, it is just a matter of practicality. If the item that is trying to be used for something that it wasn’t designed to do, then it is going to be a disaster. One issue is the hard hats, they may require lining inside of them to make them leak proof or some other derived method of making the hats into soup bowls. All of this is going to be needed on the construction party supplies list to make sure everything is picked up for the party. The important part to all of this is to remember both the subject theme of the party, how much time there is to do things for the party, how much help and if it can be done. For the most part, the hostesss should make sure the Construction party is really doable before delving into a variety of party supplies and decorations.

Koi Pond Liners vs. Professional Construction

Why is there so much talk about pond liners? Which ones are UV protected, or stronger, or last longer? I am by no means an expert on liner technology, nor have I ever used them in my 26 years of designing and building waterfalls. If youre a liner guy disciple, Im sure youre thinking, Oh no, here he goes. To tell the truth, I have been minding by own business for over two decades, just watching, reading and listening to all the experts.

Ive listened to how pond liners are simple to install, and pond liners are inexpensive compared to concrete and steel, and pond liners are quick to install. Or pond liners last for 50 years, pond liners bring higher profits to pond construction and waterfall construction, and liners dont contaminate the water with alkali as does concrete construction. Yes, Ive almost sold myself on listening to the facts of the experts. Well, not quite, due to a few facts of my own. So, a pond liner is guaranteed for 40 to 50 years? I would have to agree with that, as long as you leave it in its box the whole time. Too bad a liner manufacturers warranty doesnt include damage from gophers, ground squirrels, chipmunks, rats or mice. Or tree, plant and weed roots. Or from stretching and punctures in the liner due to heavy rocks and other sharp objects. Startling fact: a puncture only the size of a pin hole can cause a pond to lose one drip per second, or 5 gallons in just 24 hours. Thats a pin hole, not a hole made by a pair of buck teeth on a burrowing mammal. Imagine along with me for a minute. You have spent $350 on a pond design and then $8,000 of your hard-earned money for a pond and waterfall. This water feature is impressive. They dug a big hole, piled up some dirt at one end, draped a large rubber liner over the whole thing, and placed giant boulders all around the fish pond and on the dirt mound. Smaller rocks fill in between the boulder and additional rocks cover the liner in the pond. Now, its two years later and youve just come home from a two-week vacation to find the pond half empty (or half full, if youre a positive person).

There must be a leak! How did this happen? Where is it? No problem, you think, I remember the salesmans pitch: If you should ever get a leak, just clean off the area around the hole, dry it off, and using the directions enclosed in the patching kit, apply this patching material. But theres only one problem: Where is the leak? or leaks? How do I find them? And if I do find them, and Im successful in patching them up, whats to keep it from leaking again? Okay, Im going to snap my fingers and youll wake up. Snap! Surprise! That was only a mental exercise with a happy ending. It wasnt real! Or was it? Yes, it was. The short story you just heard was true. One out of every eight projects we do involves replacing the leaky liner for an angry fish pond/leaky liner owner. Why am I finally speaking up now, after 26 years and well over 1,900 waterfalls and fish ponds? Because Im angry, too! Not at the liner guy who sells the pond liners, but at his disciples around the country who are bragging how much money they make in just one or two days. Im not upset at the fact that they make in two days what takes me six to seven days to make in constructing my fish ponds of rebar and 3000 psi concrete.

Exhibition Counters – Types And Practical Applications

There are many trade show display items that are easily available from a number of trade show stand companies to help make your trade show display more (effective|outstanding}. It is very likely that you will use a main display stand that will carry the bulk of your branding and design which may then be complemented by a number of less significant stands and accessories. These smaller displays and accessories may include roller banners, literature units, LCD stands and other items, but one of the most adaptable exhibition items has to be the basic counter.
There are various types of display counters available, each one suited to something different, providing a unique display solution. The basic definition of a trade show counter would be a portable unit that is roughly waist high with a usable surface that can act as a work top or presentation/display area. I’ll take some time to describe the various types of counters available and the different uses for each.
Pop Up Counters
Pop up counters are named after their construction and their ability to ‘pop up’ into an erect state with relative ease. After the frame has been set up, it is then fixed with shelving, a wood effect counter top and a printed graphic wrap. Pop up counters are suited to exhibitions and trade shows where a counter is needed for paperwork, a laptop, or for presenting requirements when interacting with customers. These counters aren’t the most easy to use because of the necessity to construct them beforehand, but they are some of the most stylish available.
Promotional Counters
Promotional counters are, as the name suggests, suited to the promotion of products and/or services. They are defined by the large graphics on the face of the counter and often feature a printed header panel which sits above the presenter on two long poles. These counters are great for busy environmentsbecause they don’t take up a lot of space and the top panel draws attention over the heads of a crowd. They can also be put away quite easily and stored in a carry case without much fuss.
Transit Case/Counters
Pop up displays are a staple exhibition display stand for many small to medium businesses when renting space at trade shows. Pop up stands come with quite a few pieces that require assembly and as a result can be tricky to transport without a dedicated transit case. Pop up transit cases have the ability to be made into a simple counter with the easy addition of a graphic panel and beech effect counter top. Even though the surface area of the counter top is not very substantial, it is strong and the case is hollow meaning that unused items can be stored inside until the trade show it is being used at is over.
There are of course, many variations to these counters, with different sizes and styles to suit many different situations. They can cost a lot or relatively little, they can be lightweight or of a more sturdy construction, they can be modern looking or very basic, but each one can present an effective way to interact with potential clients, either at a trade show or as a single promotional unit.

Half Year Report-construction Machinery Industry Overview

www.cri-report.com – In January-June 2011, China’s construction machinery industry accumulatively achieved the total industrial output value of CNY 312.35 billion, ascending by 43.04% YOY, and realized the sales revenue of CNY 306.13 billion, increasing by 40.86% YOY.

In 2011 H1, the accumulative product output of China’s construction machinery industry continued growing. Except for special cement equipment whose output experienced substantial year-on-year decline, other products all maintained growth, especially for internal combustion folk lift products.

After China’s construction machinery market experienced the rapid growth in 2011 Q1, various sub-industries have seen an obvious decline in sales volume since April compared with March. In January-May 2011, the accumulative sales volume of excavators in China grew by 36% YOY; that of bulldozers grew by 21% YOY; that of loaders grew by 21% YOY. It has been an indisputable fact that the construction machinery industry has slowed down.

Although China’s construction machinery industry still has favorable prospects in 2011, the decline in growth rate is an inevitable trend. The main reason for the decline in prosperity of some products in the industry lies in credit crunch, whose influence on the industry is mainly reflected in 2 aspects: first, the downstream demand of the industry will be influenced. Construction of some projects under construction has decelerated due to credit crunch, and operation of projects which were originally planned to be operated has been delayed; second, the marketing efforts of enterprises will be influenced. In 2011 Q1, various construction machinery enterprises successively made more marketing efforts and increased the proportions of financial leasing and installment payment so as to seize market shares. Since April, some enterprises have enhanced risk control and decreased the proportion of credit sales.

In 2011, the global economy recovered gradually and the demand for construction machinery increased. The external demand will still grow, directly driving the construction machinery export market especially for the construction engineering machinery manufacturing industry. Although the base of global economic recovery is unstable, the situation of favorable global economy will be unchanged in 2011. The export environment of China’s construction machinery will continue improving and the export value is predicted to be resumed to the record high of 2008.

Polyvinyl Chloride (pvc) Global Market Dynamics To 2020

The impact of global economic downturn has resulted in the slowdown in the construction industry worldwide. As more than 50% of the PVC is used in construction applications, there has been a downturn in the demand of PVC in many countries in the last few years. But as the economies recover from the recessionary times, the demand for PVC is expected to grow at a faster rate in the coming years to 2020. The global PVC demand was around 31 million tons in 2009. It is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.9% and reach around 64.3 million tons in 2020.

The demand for PVC is highest in Asia. China is driving the majority of the demand for PVC in the world. The demand in advanced countries like Japan is largely stabilized. With the large population and growing economies of countries like India and China, there is a huge consumption potential in these countries. The Asian demand by volume for PVC in 2009 was nearly 16.7 million tons.

Europe is the second largest consumer of PVC in the world. Germany, Italy and France are the major consuming countries in Europe. The demand in some Western European countries, such as Italy, France and the UK is approaching the maturity stage. Growth in the European PVC demand is driven mostly by Russia. The demand for PVC in Europe was around 6.1 million tons in the year 2009.

The North American economy is the most developed and advanced, and the construction industry is also in the maturity stage. The North American region is also the most affected by the global economic downturn. Hence the scope for growth is lowest as the demand is close to saturation. However, the recovery from economic slowdown is expected to bring higher growth in the PVC demand. The North American demand for PVC in 2009 was close to 3.9 million tons in 2009.

The PVC demand in South and Central America is growing steadily. This region consumed around 2.4 million tons of PVC in the year 2009. The Middle East and African demand for PET is the second fastest growing after that of Asia. The Middle East and Africa region consumed around 1.91 million tons PVC in 2009.

The Economic State Of Affairs Of The Construction Industry

The development business is terribly vital to the UK’s – and indeed to the globe’s – economy. Within the UK, it accounts for additional than ten% of the country’s gross domestic product and employs an estimated 2.5 million people. Within the last three years, an extra ?33 billion has been created offered to the current sector to increase public services. Included in this figure are major investments in transport, health and housing. As the trade is investment-driven, it is subject to the strictures of economic upturns and downturns; during the recessions of the mid 1980’s and the early 1990’s, there were vital downturns. However, in the late 1990’s, there was a marked swing in the opposite direction.

Our construction trade, by terribly nature of its geographical location, is not subject to the full influences of cross-border competition that are in proof in mainland Europe. But, construction industries worldwide are suffering from the current economic climate and the increasing rise in fuel prices. For the earlier part of 2008, the German construction trade showed a marked upturn, however this slowed and tailed off later within the year, thanks to the increase in oil prices and the slowing economic pace of the many industrialized countries. Additionally to economic factors, there’s a turn in the tide of ecological factors. In America, the number of folks citing World Warming as the foremost important environmental issue rose from eleven% in 2003 to 35% in 2006. The construction business faces new challenges in replacing and renovating buildings with minimal environmental impact. At the same time, the price of these precautions must be measured against potential profits.

But, despite the factors that seem to be conspiring against it, the construction business moves at a terribly quick pace and is an ever-changing entity. Whilst legislation is forever altering, new techniques, technology and strategies are developing to keep up. With the event of recent practices, new jobs in construction are perpetually being created. Within the UK, the Home Workplace has released figures stating that the three construction jobs that are most lacking in applicants are those for transportation and highways engineering, ground engineering and contaminated land specialists. With major infrastructures and building developments going down in the South East of the UK, such as the 2012 Olympics and therefore the Thames Gateway regeneration, construction recruitment during this area is ready to soar. Britain’s Olympic Games will have 30 venues and a budget of ?2.three billion. It additionally features a non-negotiable, absolute completion date. As that date attracts nearer, the development business can find itself heavily in demand as pressure and expectation rise. 2012 guarantees to be an necessary year for this trade and many are looking upon it as a likelihood to showcase its talents.

After all, construction takes place across the globe and this provides workers a likelihood to travel with work. Construction jobs need large groups of folks all working to a typical goal and, while the life-style will be quite temporary, several get used to it and realize it a liberating existence. Some comes are short-term, while others can last for years – like the construction of an oil refinery.
