While one girl works on the computer sitting in the swivel-chair, busy on device programming. Several devices are on the Frequency Modulator table, being prepared for other friends. Another girl heads to the rooftop with her cat-spray shield.
Clubhouse for some friends to keep neighborhood cats away from their hair bows & clips. You see, these aren't just ordinary hair accessories -- they're Bluetooth communication devices disguised as Fancy Hair Decorations ;-)
These friends invented the devices to be used in their neighborhood watch program -- especially next to the City they are located! They blend into everyday appearance, so no one knows they are always in communication range of a Friend.
Pesky neighborhood cats keep snatching up the devices thinking they are cat toys! We all know how cats love to play with these type of objects for hours.
These girls have a command center where they create & test the devices. There are cat deterrence gadgets at every angle: A water-spray cannon, dog-scented fur siding, entrance door waterfall mechanism, ladder with emergency hot air gun, brush and deflection mirror -- as well as a *decoy* girl always standing guard on the Rooftop!
The water-cannon has a red-light alert beacon that also alerts the friend on the Clubhouse computer inside.
The work area has a frequency modulator to activate each hair piece for a specific user.
Their Number One mission: Keep cats from destroying their stuff!

Camp Humphreys welcomes new commander
By Cpl. Han, Jae-ho
USAG Humphreys Public Affairs
CAMP HUMPHREYS – Soldiers, civilians and Family members welcomed the United States Army Garrison Humphreys' new commander, Col. Darin S. Conkright, during a ceremony, here, July 11.
Conkright replaces Col. Joseph P. Moore, who is retiring from the United States Army after 27 years of distinguished service.
Before the change of command, in a separate ceremony, Moore was presented with the Legion of Merit by Debra D. Zedalis, the Pacific Region director of Installation Management Command. His wife, Molly, received three awards: the 8th United States Army Helping Hands Award; the Dr. Mary E. Walker Award; and the Commander’s Award for Public Service.
During the ceremony, Moore expressed his appreciation to his family, fellow Soldiers, the community, Korean guests and the United States Army.
“To our guests from nearby towns, our Korean military colleagues, and our Korean employees, I extend special thanks for the friendship and hospitality you have extended to me over the past four years,” he said. “I leave my command and my Army career with a deep gratitude for the opportunities they have provided.”
Zedalis congratulated Moore on his success as the garrison commander.
“Under his leadership, Humphreys has transformed from an installation populated primarily by single and unaccompanied Soldiers, on one-year assignments, to an installation where many more military Families live for two and three-year tours,” Zedalis said. “He also has led the single largest construction program in the Department of Defense, and the garrison’s support of the 8th United States Army and all tenant units has been nothing short of top notch.”
Zedalis also extended a welcome to the incoming commander and his Family.
“You are inheriting a great garrison team that will support you one hundred percent,” she said. “I know you will find your new assignment both professionally rewarding and personally enriching.”
Conkright expressed his enthusiasm as a new commander.
“I look forward to working with each and every one of you to ensure Camp Humphreys continues to be a great place to live, work and serve,” he said.
Conkright joined the Army in 1989, and has had a number of duty assignments at Fort Bragg, Fort Campbell, Washington DC, and in Europe. At Fort Campbell, he commanded ODA 522 and served as the Battalion Assistant S-3. In Washington DC, he served as an assignments officer in the US Army PERSCOM’s Special Management Division. His most recent assignment was the Chief of Staff for the NATO Special Operations Headquarters (NSHQ) in Mons, Belgium.
He received a Reserve Officers’ Training Corps commission and a Bachelor of Science degree in Mathematics from the University of Kentucky. His advanced education includes a Masters of Business Administration and a Masters in Healthcare Management. Conkright is a graduate of the Army Command and General Staff College and his awards include the Defense Superior Service Medal, the Bronze Star, the Defense Meritorious Service Medal, and the Meritorious Service Medal. His badges include the Combat Infantryman’s Badge, the Special Forces Tab, the Ranger Tab, and the Master Parachutist Badge.

Hogg takes command of U.S. Army Africa
10 June 2010 - By Rick Scavetta, U.S. Army Africa Public Affairs
VICENZA, Italy – During a ceremony today at Caserma Ederle’s Hoekstra Field, Maj. Gen. David R. Hogg assumed command of U.S. Army Africa.
Gen. William E. Ward, commanding general of U.S. Africa Command presided over the ceremony, which signaled the departure of outgoing commander, Maj. Gen. William B. Garrett III.
Hogg, who recently served as deputy commanding general of Combined Security Transition Command-Afghanistan, said he is delighted to become part of the Vicenza military community.
“After 29 years of service and six overseas assignments to include Germany, Panama and Belgium, this is our first opportunity to be in Italy,” Hogg said. “We are absolutely thrilled to be here.”
Hogg said he is excited to be a part of U.S. Army Africa, the Army's newest service component command, challenged with developing relationships with land forces in Africa and supporting U.S. Army efforts on the African continent.
Ward reminded the crowd that U.S. Army Africa has accomplished some great things since Dec. 2008, when it began its transformation to becoming the Army service component command for U.S. Africa Command.
“In that short time, the command has formed, grown, and matured into an active and effective outfit and has established strong strategic relationships with the ground forces in Africa,” Ward said. “U.S. Army Africa not only succeeded, they excelled. In fact, they thrived on the opportunities they were given.”
Garrett took command of the Southern European Task Force in 2008. He commanded SETAF throughout its transformation to U.S. Army Africa. Garrett now heads to Iraq, where he will serve as the chief of staff, U.S. Forces Iraq.
“We look forward to building upon the systems that Maj. Gen. Garrett and Mrs. Garrett have developed,” Hogg said. “We are truly thankful for the warm welcome that we have received from the community and, especially, the Garretts.”

L'Hôtel Ciamberlani, commandé par le peintre symboliste Albert Ciamberlani, a été conçu en 1897 par l’architecte Paul Hankar, et est situé au n° 48 de la rue Defacqz à Ixelles (Bruxelles). Il jouxte un autre immeuble de style Art nouveau aussi construit par Paul Hankar : l'hôtel René Janssens sis au n° 50. L'arrière de la parcelle communiquait avec les écuries de l'Hôtel José Ciamberlani dont la façade se trouve rue Paul-Émile Janson.
La symétrie prônée dans les bâtiments classiques est ici rompue, le rez-de-chaussée comptant quatre travées avec la porte rejetée à l’extrémité de la façade. La structure métallique est laissée apparente en façade et les fenêtres sont de formes particulières. Au premier étage, où se trouve le salon donnant sur le balcon, elles sont en arc outrepassé, avec des fins châssis en bois qui compartimentent la baie et dont le dessin ressemble à un dessin extrême oriental.
La taille et forme des percements sont elles aussi en rupture avec l'architecture classique. La façade est dictée par la nature des pièces à l’intérieur. Elle se doit d'être le reflet de la distribution intérieure de l'hôtel, conséquence directe de l’intérêt d'Hankar pour Viollet-Le-Duc et sa théorie sur le rationalisme, théorie qui énonce que l'ornementation doit être liée à la structure même de l'édifice et que la façade doit être pensée en fonction du plan et de l’organisation intérieure. Quant à la décoration, les sgraffites conçus par Ciamberlani lui-même pour orner la partie supérieure ainsi que la partie entre les deux fenêtres semi-circulaires du première étage ont été réalisés par Adolphe Crespin (cf. wikipédia, merci monument.heritage.brussels pour la photo).

ABERDEEN PROVING GROUND, Md. (Oct. 24, 2017) -- A paradigm shift is set to occur inside the Army's command posts.
Today's generation of Soldiers use a computing ecosystem -- connected and synchronized smartphones, tablets and laptops, unknown to Soldiers a decade ago. These younger Soldiers have embraced the thousands of applications that have transformed communication and collaboration. The Army is now implementing a plan to modernize software applications and hardware used in command post operations to more closely align with what Soldiers have come to expect in their personal lives.
Currently, the computing environment in the command post primarily consists of separately developed systems. CPs are filled with a dozen or more screens displaying battlefield data, along with several types of computers and multiple servers hosting systems that support various warfighting functions such as Movement, Maneuver, Intelligence and Fires. Each stand-alone system provides just a segment of the data that must be fused to generate the commander's common operating picture.

The 10th Mountain Division (LI) Sustainment Brigade Command Team, accompanied by the senior leaders of the 10th Mountain Division held a physical training event to help kick-off the new Command Mentorship Program on May. 3, 2021, on Fort Drum, NY.
The Command Mentorship program is a one-day event that will be held on the first Monday of every month to provide focused development and mentorship from the 10th MDSB Command Team to the Company Command teams, Brigade staff, and Soldiers.
One of the most powerful military commands that the world has ever known. Here the "SAC" shield is painted on the side of a Convair B-36 Peacemaker at the Castle Air Museum in Atwater, California.
Dedicated to RAF Coastal Command
A relief carving in light grey Carrara marble depicts the sky and sea, with the sky overlaying an outline of the world set above a breaking sea and separated by a horizon line (of great importance to flyers). An eagle at top left symbolises mastery of the skies. Cut in the wall below is the badge of Coastal Command and motto "Constant Endeavour" with the inscription:
Remember the sacrifice & constant endeavour in defence of freedom of the men and women of Royal Air Force Coastal Command, their successors & their comrades in the Commonwealth, Allied and overseas squadrons
The memorial was carved by Neil and Richard Talbot and the artistic adviser was Sir Philip Dowson of the Maritime Air Trust. The span is approximately eight feet. A roll of honour is displayed in a case in the nave of the Abbey.
It was unveiled to mark the 60th anniversary in 2003 of the peak of the Battle of the Atlantic during the Second World War. Just over half of the sinkings of German U-boats were due to Coastal Command and it located the battleship Bismarck which was then sunk by the Royal Navy. Photo-reconnaissance and meteorological flights were also an important part of their role as well as air-sea rescue. Their zone of operations was vast, from Iceland to Gibraltar and the Azores as well as other overseas commands from the Arctic to the southern oceans. Four Victoria Crosses were won by aircrew and 10,875 lives were lost. Since the Second World War Coastal Command and its successor formations have operated in conflicts in Korea, Malaysia, the Falklands and the Gulf.
[Westminster Abbey]
In the South Cloister of Westminster Abbey
Westminster Abbey (The Collegiate Church of St Peter)
In the 1040s King Edward (later St Edward the Confessor) established his royal palace by the banks of the river Thames on land known as Thorney Island. Close by was a small Benedictine monastery founded under the patronage of King Edgar and St Dunstan around 960A.D. This monastery Edward chose to re-endow and greatly enlarge, building a large stone church in honour of St Peter the Apostle. This church became known as the "west minster" to distinguish it from St Paul's Cathedral (the east minster) in the City of London. Unfortunately, when the new church was consecrated on 28th December 1065 the King was too ill to attend and died a few days later. His mortal remains were entombed in front of the High Altar.
The only traces of Edward's monastery to be seen today are in the round arches and massive supporting columns of the undercroft and the Pyx Chamber in the cloisters. The undercroft was originally part of the domestic quarters of the monks. Among the most significant ceremonies that occurred in the Abbey at this period was the coronation of William the Conqueror on Christmas day 1066, and the "translation" or moving of King Edward's body to a new tomb a few years after his canonisation in 1161.
Edward's Abbey survived for two centuries until the middle of the 13th century when King Henry III decided to rebuild it in the new Gothic style of architecture. It was a great age for cathedrals: in France it saw the construction of Amiens, Evreux and Chartres and in England Canterbury, Winchester and Salisbury, to mention a few. Under the decree of the King of England, Westminster Abbey was designed to be not only a great monastery and place of worship, but also a place for the coronation and burial of monarchs. This church was consecrated on 13th October 1269. Unfortunately the king died before the nave could be completed so the older structure stood attached to the Gothic building for many years.
Every monarch since William the Conqueror has been crowned in the Abbey, with the exception of Edward V and Edward VIII (who abdicated) who were never crowned. The ancient Coronation Chair can still be seen in the church.
It was natural that Henry III should wish to translate the body of the saintly Edward the Confessor into a more magnificent tomb behind the High Altar in his new church. This shrine survives and around it are buried a cluster of medieval kings and their consorts including Henry III, Edward I and Eleanor of Castile, Edward III and Philippa of Hainault, Richard II and Anne of Bohemia and Henry V.
There are around 3,300 burials in the church and cloisters and many more memorials. The Abbey also contains over 600 monuments, and wall tablets – the most important collection of monumental sculpture anywhere in the country. Notable among the burials is the Unknown Warrior, whose grave, close to the west door, has become a place of pilgrimage. Heads of State who are visiting the country invariably come to lay a wreath at this grave.
A remarkable new addition to the Abbey was the glorious Lady chapel built by King Henry VII, first of the Tudor monarchs, which now bears his name. This has a spectacular fan-vaulted roof and the craftsmanship of Italian sculptor Pietro Torrigiano can be seen in Henry's fine tomb. The chapel was consecrated on 19th February 1516. Since 1725 it has been associated with the Most Honourable Order of the Bath and the banners of the current Knights Grand Cross surround the walls. The Battle of Britain memorial window by Hugh Easton can be seen at the east end in the Royal Air Force chapel. A new stained glass window above this, by Alan Younger, and two flanking windows with a design in blue by Hughie O'Donoghue, give colour to this chapel.
Two centuries later a further addition was made to the Abbey when the western towers (left unfinished from medieval times) were completed in 1745, to a design by Nicholas Hawksmoor.
Little remains of the original medieval stained glass, once one of the Abbey's chief glories. Some 13th century panels can be seen in the Queen's Diamond Jubilee Galleries. The great west window and the rose window in the north transept date from the early 18th century but the remainder of the glass is from the 19th century onwards. The newest stained glass is in The Queen Elizabeth II window, designed by David Hockney.
History did not cease with the dissolution of the medieval monastery on 16th January 1540. The same year Henry VIII erected Westminster into a cathedral church with a bishop (Thomas Thirlby), a dean and twelve prebendaries (now known as Canons). The bishopric was surrendered on 29th March 1550 and the diocese was re-united with London, Westminster being made by Act of Parliament a cathedral church in the diocese of London. Mary I restored the Benedictine monastery in 1556 under Abbot John Feckenham.
But on the accession of Elizabeth I the religious houses revived by Mary were given by Parliament to the Crown and the Abbot and monks were removed in July 1559. Queen Elizabeth I, buried in the north aisle of Henry VII's chapel, refounded the Abbey by a charter dated 21 May 1560 as a Collegiate Church exempt from the jurisdiction of archbishops and bishops and with the Sovereign as its Visitor. Its Royal Peculiar status from 1534 was re-affirmed by the Queen and In place of the monastic community a collegiate body of a dean and prebendaries, minor canons and a lay staff was established and charged with the task of continuing the tradition of daily worship (for which a musical foundation of choristers, singing men and organist was provided) and with the education of forty Scholars who formed the nucleus of what is now Westminster School (one of the country's leading independent schools). In addition the Dean and Chapter were responsible for much of the civil government of Westminster, a role which was only fully relinquished in the early 20th century.
