Palatine Chapel, Aachen
The Palatine Chapel in Aachen is an early medieval chapel and remaining component of Charlemagne's Palace of Aachen in what is now Germany. Although the palace itself no longer exists, the chapel was preserved and now forms the central part of Aachen Cathedral. It is the city's major landmark and a central monument of the Carolingian Renaissance. The chapel held the remains of Charlemagne. Later it was appropriated by the Ottonians and coronations were held there from 936 to 1531.[1]
As part of Aachen Cathedral, the chapel is designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.[2]
Charlemagne began the construction of the Palatine Chapel around 792, along with the building of the rest of the palace structures.[3] It was consecrated in 805 by Pope Leo III in honor of the Virgin Mary. The building is a centrally planned, domed chapel. The east end had a square apse, and was originally flanked by two basilican structures, now lost but known through archaeology. The chapel was entered through a monumental atrium, to the west. The plan and decoration of the building combines elements of Classical, Byzantine and Pre-Romanesque, and opulent materials as the expression of a new royal house, ruled by Charlemagne.
The architect responsible, Odo of Metz, is named in a tenth-century inscription around the dome: Insignem hanc dignitatis aulam Karolus caesar magnus instituit; egregius Odo magister explevit, Metensi fotus in urbe quiescit. Nothing more is known of him. The building he designed has a simple exterior and a complex interior, with a double shell octagonal dome resting on heavy piers, a two-story elevation, and elaborate revetment[4] and decoration.
In 936 Otto I, the first Holy Roman Emperor of the Ottonian dynasty, took advantage of the chapel's close association with Charlemagne and held his coronation as King of Germany there. Holy Roman Emperors continued to be crowned in the Palatine Chapel until 1531.[1] In 1000, in what was most likely a symbolic exhibition, Otto III placed the tomb of Charlemagne in the chapel and paid homage to his remains.[5]

The Permian-aged Phosphoria Formation has a significant component of phosphorite, a scarce, phosphate-rich sedimentary rock. This material is mined in southern Idaho as a source of phosphorus for the fertilizer industry, the fireworks industry, and other uses.
Phosphorites are generally considered to have >15-20% phosphate content. Texturally, phosphorites can be obviously granular, with fossil fragments or oolites or peloids or lithic fragments, or they can be composed of extremely fine-grained, phosphate-rich mud. Compositionally, the phosphate component in phosphorites is principally a mix of apatite minerals: chlorapatite (Ca5(PO4)3Cl), fluorapatite (Ca5(PO4)3F), hydroxyapatite (Ca5(PO4)3OH)), and carbonate fluorapatite (Ca10(PO4,CO3)6F2-3).
Phosphorites are generally marine sedimentary rocks. They range in age from Precambrian to Holocene. In modern oceans, they tend to occur along the eastern margins of some ocean basins where deep-water upwelling occurs under areas of high biologic productivity.
Stratigraphy: Phosphoria Formation (inferred to be the Meade Peak Member), Roadian Stage to Wordian Stage, lower Guadalupian Series, mid-Permian
Locality: roadcut along the western side of Forest Service Road 102 (= Diamond Creek Road), western side of Deer Creek Valley, eastern flanks of Dry Ridge, Preuss Range, far-southeastern Idaho, USA

Surface-mount technology (SMT) is a method for producing electronic circuits in which the components are mounted or placed directly onto the surface of printed circuit boards (PCBs). An electronic device so made is called a surface-mount device (SMD). In the industry it has largely replaced the through-hole technology construction method of fitting components with wire leads into holes in the circuit board. Both technologies can be used on the same board for components not suited to surface mounting such as large transformers and heat-sinked power semiconductors.
An SMT component is usually smaller than its through-hole counterpart because it has either smaller leads or no leads at all. It may have short pins or leads of various styles, flat contacts, a matrix of solder balls (BGAs), or terminations on the body of the component
The entire 1961 Cadillac dash components (upper instrument cluster, lower instrument panel, corner trim pieces, speaker grille and one lower panel) cleaned and reassembled back together. It was so dirty but now is so shiny! Originally this dash had been missing the headlight lamp switch and the clock, but correct replacements were found. Some lower panels and the glove box is not included in this image.
This image is the left side of the dash and the corner trim piece. This piece has groves and just slides into place. It would be screwed into the pieces behind this, which anchor it to the car itself. There are two posts at the bottom on the trim piece, which is where the lower metal dash panels would click into place. The 1961 had a ribbed trim, which can be seen on this trim piece and was also seen on the speaker grille and the decoration in the bumper tail light.
The 1962 Cadillac dash was laid out in a similar pattern, though there were some stylistic differences (corner trim pieces, speaker grille, radio design, and trim plates). The ribbed design would be replaced with smooth contours or grid patterns.
In "Forever Knight," Nick's Caddy is the 1961 model but has various components from a 1962, which would include the dashboard.
A few fantastic, notable women in my life wear their glasses around their neck. I had to make some--for the sexy librarians, for funky art teacher types, for people who wear safety goggles while on a quick trip to the deli like a badge of honor (as to say, "Yes, I use dangerous power tools!").

On Monday, the Security Council adopted resolution 2382 (2017), which supports operationalizing the Strategic Guidance Framework for International Police Peacekeeping. The resolution also recognized the important role that United Nations police components play in the protection of civilians, including in preventing and addressing sexual and gender‑based violence, and violations and abuses against children.
In his address to the Security Council, Under‑Secretary‑General for Peacekeeping Operations Jean‑Pierre Lacroix said the United Nations police played a continued vital role in bridging the Organization’s work from prevention and peacekeeping to peacebuilding and development (Video recording). The Police Commissioner of the United Nations Mission for Justice Support in Haiti (MINUJUSTH), Brigardier General Georges-Pierre Monchotte, briefed the Security Council on good practices of reforming the Haiti National Police (video recording). The Police Commissioner of the United Nations Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in Mali (MINUSMA), Issoufou Yacouba briefed on strengthening the serious and organized crime capacities of the Malian security forces (video recording). Police Commissioner Priscilla Makotose of the African Union/United Nations Hybrid operation in Darfur (UNAMID) briefed the Security Council on gender responsive policing (video recording). Following the briefing, Security Council President, Italian Ambassador Sebastiano Cardi, the Head of UN peacekeeping USG Jean-Pierre Lacroix and Police Adviser Luis Carrilho (UNPOL) delivered a press briefing (video recording).
On Tuesday, the discussions of heads of UN police components focused on partnerships, good practices and challenges of UN capacity-building. More than 11,000 United Nations police officers from 89 countries (as of September 2017), are mandated to assist host-States in reforming their police and other law enforcement institutions.
Building on Security Council resolution 2382 (2017), Police Commissioners focused on Wednesday on how police can be more effective in conflict prevention, peacekeeping and peace sustainment. Heads of UN police components also discussed how to achieve gender-responsive policing. As of September 2017, 1,118 female police officers from 70 countries serve in peacekeeping operations and special political missions. They act as role models for gender equality, inspiring women and girls to advocate for their own rights and pursue careers in law enforcement.
On Thursday, United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres briefly met and took a photo with the Under-Secretary-General for Peacekeeping Operations, Jean-Pierre Lacroix, Assistant Secretary-General for Peacekeeping Operations, Bintou Keita, Assistant Secretary-General for Rule of Law and Security Institutions, Alexandre Zouev, UN Police Adviser Luis Carrilho and Heads of police components in UN peace operations. In his message, Secretary-General Guterres stressed that United Nations police save countless lives, heal community tensions. The Secretary‑General also called for more women in United Nations police command positions.
Earlier on the same day, the UNAMID Police Commissioner Priscilla Makotose, MONUSCO Police Commissioner Awale Abdounasir and MINUSCA Police Commissioner Roland Zamora briefed the Special Committee on Peacekeeping Operations (C-34) on transitioning, gender/electoral security and capacity development respectively.
On Friday, UN police week closed following a session on human rights in UN police activities. The closing remarks were delivered by Alexandre Zouev, Assistant Secretary-General for Rule of Law and Security Institutions, Bintou Keita, Assistant Secretary-General for Rule of Law and Security Institutions and UN Police Adviser Luis Carrilho.

Kootenay National Park is a national park located in southeastern British Columbia, and is one component of the Canadian Rocky Mountain Parks World Heritage Site. The park consists of 1,406 km2 (543 sq mi) of the Canadian Rockies, including parts of the Kootenay and Park mountain ranges, the Kootenay River and the entirety of the Vermilion River. While the Vermillion River is completely contained within the park, the Kootenay River has its headwaters just outside the park boundary, flowing through the park into the Rocky Mountain Trench, eventually joining the Columbia River. It ranges in elevation from 918 m (3,012 ft) at the southwestern park entrance, to 3,424 m (11,234 ft) at Deltaform Mountain. Initially called "Kootenay Dominion Park", the park was created in 1920 as part of an agreement between the province of British Columbia and the Canadian federal government to build a highway in exchange for title to a strip of land, approximately 8 km (5.0 mi) on either side of the 94 km route, the Banff-Windermere Highway, to be used solely for park purposes. While the park is open all year, the major tourist season lasts from June to September. Most campgrounds are open from early May to late September, while limited winter camping is available only at the Dolly Varden campground.
The Kootenay National Park is one of seven contiguous parks that form the Canadian Rocky Mountain Parks World Heritage Site. The Continental Divide is the boundary between the Kootenay and Banff National Park boundary, as well as the BC-Alberta provincial border. To the northwest, the watershed boundary between the Vermillion River and the Kicking Horse River is the park boundary between the Kootenay and Yoho National Park. The Mount Assiniboine Provincial Park also borders the Kootenay National Park. Jasper National Park, Mount Robson Provincial Park and Hamber Provincial Park make up the remainder of the World Heritage Site but do not share a boundary with Kootenay National Park.
L’esposizione fotografica Blu Selvaggio è il racconto per immagini del “Giro dei Tre Colli”, un percorso a piedi all’interno del Parco Naturale dell’Everest, in Himalaya. Oltre alla Guida Alpina Internazionale Fabio Iacchini, questo trekking ha coinvolto altri cinque componenti ed un gruppo di alcuni portatori.
Il “Giro dei Tre Colli” affronta tre colli sopra i 5000 mt e ciò permette di godere della vista di 4 vette sopra gli 8000 mt da diverse prospettive: Everest (8848 mt), Cho Oyu (8201 mt) (foto n°6), Lhotse (8516 mt) e Makalu (8841 mt). Personalmente ho portato con me in Nepal due macchine fotografiche: una reflex digitale (Canon D60) e una reflex analogica di grande formato (Hasselblad 500 C/M), con le quali ho cercato di restituire le sensazioni, le forme ed i colori che questi valli meravigliose regalano a chi ha la fortuna di percorrerle.
Siamo partiti dalla caotica Katmandu (1440 mt) alla volta del villaggio di Lukla (2860 mt) con un piccolo aereo e da Lukla abbiamo iniziato il cammino all’interno della valle dell’Everest.
In due giorni abbiamo raggiunto Namche Bazar (3450 mt) per proseguire nella valle di Thame (3829 mt) lungo il sentiero che da millenni collega il Nepal al Tibet attraverso il valico del Nangpa La (5806 mt) (foto n°13). Passata Lundge (4400 mt) abbiamo valicato il primo dei tre colli Renjo La (5340 mt) (foto n°32, 33) per ridiscendere fino al villaggio di Gokyo (4793 mt).
Il giorno seguente abbiamo raggiunto la cima che sovrasta Gokyo, Gokyo Ri (5357 mt), (foto n°18, 31, 34) dalla quale ammirare tre maestosi ottomila con un unico sguardo: Everest (8848 mt), Lhotse (8516 mt) e Cho Oyu (8201 mt).
Passata Dragnac (4700 mt) (foto n°14) e superato il secondo colle, Cho La (5330 mt) (foto n°8, 21, 25, 26), ci siamo diretti al villaggio estivo di Lobuche (4930 mt) (foto n°9, 29) per compiere la salita del Kalapatar Ri (5643 mt) (foto n°11, 24, 28) con relativa e spettacolare visione di Everest e Nupse (7861 mt) e rientrare a Lobuche (foto n°15, 16).
Il terzo colle, Kongma La (5335 mt) (foto n°10, 12, 17, 19, 20, 22, 23, 27, 30) ci ha permesso la visione della grandiosa parete sud del Lhotse prima dell’arrivo prima a Chukhung (4750 mt) e poi al campo base (5150 mt) (foto n°1, 2, 3, 4, 5,7) dell’Island Peak (6189 mt).
Durante il rientro siamo passati dal monastero di Tengboche (3800 mt) prima di raggiungere nuovamente prima Namche, poi Lukla e infine Katmandu.
Durante il percorso il mio set di ottiche per la reflex digitale Canon D60 si è ridotto ad un teleobbiettivo di grande qualità (EF 70-200 mm, f/4L IS USM), apparentemente poco adatto a spazi così immensi, a cui ho alternato le straordinarie qualità ottiche dell’obbiettivo Zeiss 80mm f/2.8 applicato al corpo analogico Hasselblad 500 C/M.
La fotografie sono state stampate su carta fotografica glossy in ambiente Fine Art e in seguito montate su pannelli Leget MDF 2cm presso Colore 2, fotolaboratorio digitale professionale di Milano.
Il risultato si riassume oggi in Blu Selvaggio; con il titolo dell’esposizione ho voluto dare risonanza al colore del cielo himalayano in quanto creatore di luci e contrasti quasi violenti e nel contempo veicolo di pace e armonia per chi lo contempla.
