"The purpose of hip replacement surgery is to remove the two damaged and worn parts of the hip joint – the hip socket, acetabulum, and the ball, femoral head – and replace them with smooth, artificial implants called prostheses, which will help make the hip strong, stable and flexible again".
Four photos of the internal components of the CFHT Cloud Camera. The camera is a Canon Rebel DSLR modified for full spectral response, and mated to a single-board computer. The computer operates the camera, processes the images on-board, and exports the processed images via an ethernet cable. The entire camera is fitted into a stainless housing to protect it from the weather where it is mounted on the outside catwalk on the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope dome at the summit of Mauna Kea on the Big Island of Hawaii.
The camera was built to monitor thin high cirrus clouds, which can be invisible to the naked eye, but can still have an adverse effect on night-time observations.. These modifications include the full-spectrum modification on the detector, and a number of software modifications to increase the camera's available low-light gain.
Because of these modifications, the images produced with it don't look like the images from a conventional camera. Even very dim objects like stars become visible, and objects that seem dim to us like planets and the moon become real sources of illumination for the landscape.

After more than a decade of conducting operations overseas, the Army Reserve is bringing its unique capabilities home to benefit communities across America.
Localities across the nation are tapping into these skills through the DoD Innovative Readiness Training program. First authorized in 1993, IRT allows reserve component units to hone their wartime readiness through hands-on training while simultaneously providing quality services to communities throughout the U.S.
As the military’s premier force provider of organized capabilities, the Army Reserve is ideally suited to conduct these missions, said Col. Rhonda Smillie, the 88th Regional Support Command legislative liaison.
“The Army Reserve is composed almost entirely of combat support and combat service support units,” said Smillie. “Those same enabling capabilities used in operations overseas are exactly what many communities within our own country could greatly benefit from.”
Those activities include providing support such as medical and dental care, water purification, veterinary services and engineering projects.
The Army Reserve’s most recent mission took place on Fort Belknap, a geographically isolated Indian Reservation in north-central Montana. There, 33 Soldiers from subordinate units of the West Medical Area Readiness Support Group augmented the Indian Health Services Hospital.
Named Operation Walking Shield, the mission began July 21 and concluded Aug. 1. The Army Reserve staff consisted of eight different medical specialties to include lab technicians, dentists, physicians, critical care nurses, behavioral health specialists, optometry technicians and podiatrists.
The augmentation of these Army Reserve medical personnel greatly enhanced the Fort Belknap Hospital’s own medical staff of seven, enabling the clinic to nearly double the care it provides to the more than 5,000 members of the surrounding Tribes. By conclusion of the exercise, the Army Reserve Soldiers treated more than 900 patients.
Nona Longknife, credentialing coordinator for the Fort Belknap Hospital, said the addition of these medical practitioners enables the hospital staff to augment and enhance normal operations with much needed services. According to Longknife, the Army Reserve Soldiers bring specialized skills not available at the clinic. This affords some Tribal members their only opportunity to receive much needed expanded care.
“During this time of year we have more patients coming in for check-ups and physicals for stuff like sports, schools and Head Start,” said Longknife. “We also don’t have some medical specialists here like podiatrists, so many of our patients, especially our elderly, are able to get much needed care that would otherwise be unavailable.”
Capt. Mathew Plouffe, commander of the 4225th U.S. Army Hospital, said this was their third year conducting this mission and the benefits for everyone have been undeniable.
“Our Soldiers get real-world training,” said Plouffe. “Our EMTs are going on EMT runs, they’re driving the ambulance, they are picking up patients and bringing them back to the emergency room – our nurses are getting real world nursing experience, our podiatrist is treating feet – our dental techs are doing cleanings and assisting dentists who are treating real dental issues – our behavioral health specialists are working out in the field and in the clinic. This is real world training!”
In addition, Plouffe said being able to help an underserved community has been great for moral.
“Everybody is working as a team,” said Plouffe. “It certainly builds moral and cohesion being able to have an impact on a community. We are taking care of Americans. Missions like these are our only opportunity to really do that.”
Montana Senator John Walsh visited the training at Fort Belknap for himself on July 27.
According to Walsh, the unique skills the Army Reserve brings are invaluable in addressing serious community needs within our own country.
"Innovative Readiness Training missions are a win-win for the community and for the military,” said Walsh. “Operation Walking Shield at Fort Belknap is a great example of the program’s success because personnel are able to hone medical skills while helping a community in need of those services.”
Missions like these are also a great way to build relationships between communities and the Soldiers who want to make a difference, noted Walsh.
“Service members are especially important in helping communities because they are exceptionally motivated to make a difference,” said Walsh.
Smillie, who facilitated Walsh’s visit and invited all members of the Senate Committee on Indian Affairs, said it is vital that the public and elected officials understand how Army Reserve IRT missions can benefit our communities.
“The Army Reserve is all about specialized capabilities. In addition to doctors and medical professionals, we have engineers, attorneys, transportation specialists,” said Smillie. “All these skills that enable our forces can also easily be transferred to the civilian sector and benefit our communities.”
This may be best illustrated by the example of Pfc. Johnna Snell who has paired her military occupation with her civilian career while simultaneously bettering her own community.
A member of the Crow Nation of Montana, Snell is an automated logistical technician assigned to the 4225th U.S. Army Hospital. She used her military training to qualify for her current civilian position as a supply technician for the Crow Agency Indian Health Services Hospital.
Snell said the combination of her background, military occupation, civilian occupation and current mission have all complimented each other greatly.
“I am proud to be a part of a unit that can actually help a Native American community through this program,” said Snell. “I’m also proud that I can do this for the Native people and bring this knowledge to other reservations.”
Snell has participated in Operation Walking Shield for the past three years. This year Snell served as the mission’s cultural liaison, charged with coordinating between the Tribes and the unit. According to Snell, the need for assistance is vast and the people greatly appreciate it.
“There is a need here and they struggle to find the services,” said Snell. “Every year we come back and they are excited to see us. The most rewarding thing is helping people in need.”
The value added to the Fort Belknap community is considerable in many aspects, said Longknife.
“Everybody understands that we get cut back, so we try to use everything the best we can,” said Longknife. “The services they provide let us saves for other things and prevents us from having to send an elder 200 miles away for the right care. Elders can’t travel like that all the time - it’s too hard on them.
“80,000 dollars is what I would have to pay for just three doctors to work two weeks,” continued Longknife. “With 80,000 dollars we could send one of our elders to a really good heart doctor, or have a child’s cleft pallet fixed, or have a child’s teeth fixed.”
Beyond benefitting from services the Army Reserve provides, knowing that someone cares and will help them impacts the community deeply, said Longknife.
“Our people have great appreciation for what is done here,” said Longknife. “Appreciation that the Army Reserve thinks that much of our people to take that two weeks that they could spend anywhere in the United States to do their Reserve time, and they choose to come here – and it fills the hearts of the people to think and know that somebody does care.”

While Magic 8-Ball did not exist in its current form until 1950, the functional component was invented by Albert C. Carter, who was inspired by a "spirit writing" device used by his mother, Mary, a Cincinnati clairvoyant. When store owner Max Levinson was approached by Carter about stocking the device, he called in his brother-in-law Abe Bookman, a graduate of Ohio Mechanics Institute. In 1944, Carter filed patent for his device, assigning it to Bookman, Levinson, and another partner in what came to be Alabe Crafts, Inc. (Albert & Abe) in 1946. Under the Alabe name, they marketed and sold the device as The Syco-Seer. Carter, who, according to Bookman, was an alcoholic, died sometime before the patent was granted in 1948. Bookman soon made improvements to the Syco-Seer and in 1948, it was encased in an iridescent crystal ball. Though unsuccessful, the revamped product caught the attention of Chicago's Brunswick Billiards. In 1950 they commissioned Alabe Crafts to make a version in the form of a
traditional black & white 8-ball.

United Nations police week 2017
Photo of United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres with Jean-Pierre Lacroix, Under-Secretary-General for Peacekeeping Operations, Alexandre Zouev, Assistant Secretary-General for Rule of Law and Security Institutions, Bintou Keita, Assistant Secretary-General for Peacekeeping Operations, UN Police Adviser Luis Carrilho and heads of UN police components.
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.

I love the way the colors came out on this one. It's sort of like a cross between terra cotta and maybe southwestern, but with a healthy dose of vintage antique paint layers. I have this one listed, but I might have to rescue it and make something for myself out of it.

Paul Component Engineering makes some of the most precise and beautiful components in the world. They've been doing it for 20 years and they'll be doing it for many to come.
Based in Chico CA they're making the dream - pared back, entirely functional pieces which operate exactly as they should every time. It's this attention to craft and performance that has made Paul's work truly iconic.
The Cross Lever is simple and comfortable. It won't ruin the line of a bar and can be used either in-line (routing the cables through drops - useful in CX) or stand-alone. We carry it with a 26.0mm and in black or silver.
