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.
La caja de los imposibles. Porque la mayoría de las cosas que hay ahí guardadas es imposible que vuelva a necesitarlas algún día.

Explore tries to show photos from as many different people as possible to create a diverse selection.
Interestingness is what Flickr calls the criteria used for selecting which photos are shown in Explore.
All photos are given an Interestingness "score" that can also be used to sort any image search on Flickr.
The top 500 photos ranked by Interestingness are shown in Explore. Interestingness rankings are calculated automatically by a secret computer algorithm.
The algorithm is often referred to by name as the Interestingness algorithm. Although the algorithm is secret, Flickr has stated that many factors go into calculating Interestingness including: a photo's tags, how many groups the photo is in, views, favorites, where click-throughs are coming from, who comments on a photo and when, and more.
The velocity of any of those components is a key factor. For example, getting 20 comments in an hour counts much higher than getting 20 comments in a week.

Dahlia, aka Georgia
the most seen flower "on EXPLORE " on the flickr photo-community
The dahlia is named after Swedish 18th-century botanist Anders Dahl.
In German the dahlia was known during most of the 19th century as Georgia, being named after the naturalist Johann Gottlieb Georgi of St. Petersburg, Russia.
The Aztecs gathered and cultivated the dahlia for food, ceremonies, as well as decorative purposes, and the long woody stem of one variety was used for small pipes.

NON-NUCLEAR COMPONENT STORES BUILDING 61 –
Building 61 (Drg No. 1245/53) is a Non-Nuclear Component Stores with attached concrete gantry on four columns projecting over the road to the front (west). Reasons for Designation Building 61 is designated at Grade II for the following principal reasons:
▪︎RARITY – A rare building on a unique site designed to accommodate and service Britain's first nuclear weapon, the ''Blue Danube''. It is the only such surviving facility in the country.
▪︎HISTORICAL ASSOCIATION – The building has outstanding national and international interest for its historical associations with the development of the earliest British nuclear weapons technology during the Cold War, which helped shape Britain's post-war history.
▪︎GROUP VALUE – The building has strong group value with other buildings at RAF Barnham, and was part of the national deployment of nuclear weapons.
▪︎INTACTNESS – Building 61 is largely intact.
Non-nuclear component stores buildings 60 and 61, held the high explosive part of the bomb and its outer casing. The central section of the casing held the high explosive lenses assembled into a large ball with forward sections containing electronics and radars. Owing to the weight and size of ''Blue Danube'', the gantry at the entrance was required to manoeuvre the bomb onto a trolley for storage. Building 61 is currently used as small work units and has blockwork partitioning which is reversible.
▪︎MATERIALS – A reinforced concrete frame and blockwork walls, and a flat concrete roof. ▪︎PLAN – Rectangular, aligned approximately east-west.
▪︎EXTERIOR – Building 61 is surrounded by substantial earth bunds. It has a central recessed entrance flanked by two projecting two storey, flat roofed plant and switch rooms which originally contained plant to maintain a stable environment. The original steel doors remain. The rear elevation has a central door and there are crittall windows to the rear and sides.
▪︎INTERIOR – Originally sub-divided internally into compartments of 11ft x 3ft bays allowing the storage of up to 66 bombs, Building 61 has been partitioned internally to create smaller work units.
Although the site was in use for storage of Mustard Gas and explosives during World War II, it was not until after the end of hostilities that the depot was constructed in its current form. In the early 1950's, the Air Ministry had a continuing need for high explosive bombs and storage facilities for them and was looking ahead to a ''future war in which atomic and thermo-nuclear weapons would be used by both sides''. It is within this historic context that the Special Storage Unit at RAF Barnham was constructed following the issuing of ''Blue Danube'', Britain's first nuclear bomb, to the RAF in November 1953.
The bombs were held in clutches in V-bomber airfields such as RAF Scampton and RAF Wittering and the purpose of the store at RAF Barnham, and the almost identical site at RAF Faldingwoth in Lincolnshire, was to provide maintenance and refurbishment to support the airfields and hold spare warheads. The Air Ministry plan for the Store is dated May 1953, although planning for the facility almost certainly had started before this, and it was fully operational by July 1954. In the first phase of works, the fences, earthworks, fissile core storage hutches, inspection buildings and gantries were built by August 1955.
The small arms and pyrotechnics store, barrack accommodation, gymnasium, telephone exchange, meat preparation store and dog compound were erected shortly after to strengthen security. By mid 1955 the double fence was in place, later augmented by the current observation towers erected in early 1959 replacing smaller structures. The Special Storage Unit remained the main holding place for the Mk. 1 Atomic Bomb, under control of Bomber Command until November 1956 when an independent Unit (95 Commanding Maintenance Unit) was formed. During the operational life of the site, second and third generation British nuclear weapons such as ''Red Beard'' and ''Yellow Sun'' were introduced on the site.
By 1962, the site was in decline and the maintenance unit ceased to exist on 31st July 1963. The closure of the station is probably linked to the operational deployment of ''Blue Steel'' from late 1962. The site was sold to the current owners in 1966 and let out for light industrial use. Some of the buildings have been altered and most significantly, one of the non-nuclear stores burnt down in the 1980’s, but there has been an on-going maintenance and repair programme agreed with English Heritage resulting in the preservation of the site.
I think this component forms part of the automatic railway grade crossing circuit.

Took my 30 cm scope apart today and weighed the components...
Mirror 16 lbs
Rings/etc 5 lbs
Mirror cell 5 lbs
Tube 25 lbs
??
Some error there...as somehow the whole thing is 70 pounds all in...a beast.
So I have several ideas for a lighter tube, including carbon fiber,aluminum,etc.
Also looking into a f/4 mirror which might allow a shorter and lighter setup.And maybe my small chip would not be so affected by edge defects.
For the price of this Skywatcher I am suspicious the primary mirror I have is not so good...although I find it a very "bright" imager.
Tried a star test but the image looked quite broken up...
Carbon fiber looks tricky,in terms of getting things reassembled.....but holds focus wonderfully.
A motorized focuser would be an alternate solution...esp when 15 below C...
So....hours of fun,in between painting my deck.

If anyone has any hot tips on North American suppliers of CF tubes or mirrors I would appreciate it...
I may well just switch the tube to aluminum....but it seems as though maybe one can build a good scope cheaper than buy one.
