Els líquens estan formats per dos components o organismes que viuen en simbiosi: per una banda hi ha les hifes d'un fong i d'una altra les cèl·lules d'una alga.
A causa de la seva naturalesa dual, els líquens presenten característiques tant del fong com de l'alga, malgrat presentar característiques pròpies i particulars.

Before my local shop for electronic components, Labb Elektronik, shut down, they gave away free bags with random stuff. These pictures are the result of sorting the components in these bags.

NON-NUCLEAR COMPONENT STORES BUILDING 60 –
The function of the non-nuclear component stores was to hold the high explosive part of the bomb and its outer casing. The casing could probably be split into two units, the tail and forward part containing the high explosive and electronics. The bombs, minus their fissile components, were housed in three almost identical stores buildings 59-61, known as Storage Building Type 'D-D'. These are arranged in an arrowhead pattern, and are accessed from the internal loop road, and are all surrounded by 14ft 6in high earth traverses, revetted by a reinforced concrete retaining wall against the roadway.
The western store, building 59 was gutted by a fire during the 1980's and has subsequently been demolished. Its floor plan remains visible on the remaining concrete floor slab. The two remaining stores, buildings 60 and 61 are rectangular in plan, and are constructed from reinforced concrete columns and beams. Internally there are two rows of columns, 13in², which support the roof beams, 2ft by 9in, which carry the 9in thick reinforced concrete roof slab which is covered with bituminous felt. The rainwater gutters and down pipes are cast asbestos.
The wall sections are filled with 18in by 9in by 9in precast concrete blocks, internally the main storage area measures 190ft 2½in by 60ft. It is divided longitudinally into eleven 17ft by 3ft bays and cross ways into three bays the outer bays measure 17ft 6in and the central bay is 25ft wide. The maximum clear internal height was 12ft from the floor to the underside of the roof beams. The floor is surfaced with a hard gritless asphalt with the patent name 'Ironite'. The walls are painted pale green colour and the ceiling cream. in store building 61 the bay letters 0, N, M, and L are visible on the rear columns on the eastern side, suggesting the store was divided into 22 bays along the outer walls.
Abutting on to the front of the stores, and flanking the entrances, are plant and switch rooms, which originally contained heating and air conditioning plant to maintain a stable environment within the stores. A raised air extract duct is placed asymmetrically on the roofs of the stores. Entry into the stores is through a 10ft wide door opening with 12ft high doors. In the rear wall of the stores is a single door width, outward opening emergency exit. The first nuclear weapon the store was designed to hold was relatively large, a ''Blue Danube'' bomb measured 24ft in length and weighed 10,000lbs.
The problems of handling such large objects are reflected in the provision of substantial lifting gantries at the entrance to each store. Two variants are found, the simplest, exemplified by the middle store building 60 comprises a straight gantry. Over the roadway the gantry is supported by four 24in by 18in reinforced concrete columns, which support two 51in by 24in reinforced concrete beams. The upper beams of the gantry taper towards the entrance to the store where they are suppurted by two reinforced concrete columns. On the underside of the gantry is attached a 20in by 6½in rolled steel joist runway beam which runs to the entrance to the building. This was originally fitted with a 10 ton hoist. The gantry is covered by asbestos sheeting to provide a dry working area.
On the eastern and western stores the gantries were set at 30° to the front of the stores. In this variant an extra set of columns was placed at the 30° dogleg. Internally there is no evidence for a runway beam, so it presumed the bombs were lifted off a road transporter and loaded onto a bomb trolley for storage. It is not known how many bombs were kept in each store, or if the tail units were separated from the front part of the bomb for storage. Subsequent to the site being relinquished by the RAF a central corridor has been created in the stores by the insertion of breeze block walls. Doors in these walls give access to workshops along either side of the buildings. External windows have also been inserted in some of the bays.

U.S. Sen. Heidi Heitkamp and Col. (Promotable) Bob Fode, North Dakota Army Component commander, left, present the Purple Heart to Korean War Veteran Cpl. Andrew Shaw during a ceremony June 13, 2015 at the Spirit Lake Casino near Devils Lake, North Dakota. Shaw, a member of the Spirit Lake Sioux Tribe, was stationed in Japan when his battalion was sent to help defend South Korea’s border after North Korea launched an invasion, sparking the beginning of the Korean War. During the Battle of Chockiwon, Shaw suffered shrapnel wounds and later was taken prisoner with 200 other men after a North Korean victory. Once in Seoul, Korea, Shaw was held prisoner for 37 months and was finally released in August of 1953. Also pictured in the background are Lt. Col. Brock Larson, commander of the 1st Training Battalion, 164th Regiment Regional Training Institute, left, and Col. Jerry Anderson, North Dakota National Guard Army Chief of Staff.

As part of the team building component of Term 1 Project Management, students are given a box of dollar store objects and a mission: keep a marble moving along a course for as long a time as possible, with it ending up falling into an egg cup. Armed with plastic necklaces, dominoes, bendy straws, a roll of toilet tissue and other priceless objects, teams compete to create the best design to meet the goal. Upon completion, the teams analyze their designs for strengths and weaknesses and process key team dynamic components — How were design decisions made? How were disagreements resolved? How was leadership determined? Did team members contribute equally to the vision and how did they each fare when it came to implementation?

Assistant Secretary of Defense for Homeland Defense and Americas' Security Affairs Paul McHale reads from a book to make a point about National Guard history after he received the Distinguished Service Award, NGB's highest award, from LTG H Steven Blum, the chief of the National Guard Bureau, in McHale's Pentagon office on Nov. 6, 2008. History and traditions are important to the 371-year-old National Guard, symbolized by the Minuteman ready to set down the plow and pick up the musket on a moment's notice transition from Citizen to Soldier or Airman. The award recognized McHale as "a visionary supporter of the National Guard throughout his public career." As a U.S. congressman, McHale cofounded the National Guard and Reserve Component Caucus. In the Pentagon role he has held since 2003, McHale was instrumental in developing The Strategy for Homeland Defense and Civil Support and in strengthening the role of the NGB.

Kavalcare Solar System for Jhpiego Mid-Wife Clinic Dec8, 2014
Every year, 12,000 women in Pakistan die of birth complications. The Maternal, Newborn and Child Health (MNCH) Services Component, implemented by MCHIP/Jhpiego, aims at preventing maternal, newborn, and child deaths by ensuring skilled birth attendance (SBA) through a total market approach, empowered community, timely referral of obstetric and neonatal complications to an emergency obstetric and newborn care (EmONC) facility, and improved access to child care.
Lack of electricity in remote areas is a major issue that often leads to obstetric complications and newborn deaths. Refrigerated storage is vital for the effectiveness of life saving drugs and vaccines. Ice boxes are used in remot areas of this purpose but it is an ineffective method especially when easy availability of ice is a problem. To overcome these issues, Lodhie Foundation in association with Maternal and Child Health Integrated Program/JHPIEGO, extended its Kavalcare program and provided a Solar Powered System to a remote clinic located at village Haji Usman Jhakro near Makli, District Thatta. System provides sufficient power to operate a small refrigerator, a fan and 3 lamps 24 hours a day and 7 days a week. It was designed, manufactured and installed by Shaan Technologies private Limited Karachi. After installation of Solar System in August 2014, this small remote clinic is serving a community of 10,000 plus persons who lives in village Haji Usman and surrounding areas. On an average 10 patients visits this clinic each day. Clinic also provides up to 15 birth attendance and new born care in a month.

Decora Lowcost fabrica todo tipo de mobiliario (armarios, mesas, sillones, taburetes) y objetos decorativos (percheros, portafotos, biombos). Nos fascinó la mezcla de colores de las chapas de acero utilizadas para la realización de este pequeño armario, lo que hacen de éste una pieza única e irrepetible.
United Nations police week 2017
Briefing by Alejandro Alvarez, Director for the Rule of Law in the Executive Office of the Secretary-General, Brigadier General Georges-Pierre Monchotte, Police Commissioner of MINUJUSTH, Simon Blatchly Police Commissioner of UNMIL, facilitated by Jaakko Christensen, Acting Chief of the Standing Police Capacity with heads of UN police components on 9 November.
Highlights of UN police week, day by day
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.

On 10th July 2015 after the completion of the first four weeks of the Sambir Police project representatives of the EUAM Regional Outreach Component Felix Gautsch, Joachim Peters and Oleksandra Mazur together with the Sambir Police Station Commander Vasyl Cherepushchyak met with the Mayor and other representatives of Sambir municipality to discussed the first results.
Sambir’s Mayor Taras Kopylyak highlighted that the people already perceive the police more positively: “The police officers are much more visible in the streets and more pro-actively serve the citizens.” He added that the citizens are well aware of the active participation of the EU in this project and welcome its efforts. He also expressed his hope that the work will continue either in the form of a project in Sambir or on a permanent basis.
During the meeting they were informed that Minister Avakov intents to visit Sambir in the near future to inform himself about the project and its results. The Minister of Internal Affairs plans to reform other District Police Departments of Ukraine according to the currently tested police model in Sambir.
Background:
The pilot project on introducing new forms and methods of work at Sambir Police Station was launched in Lviv region on the 9th of June 2015. The joint project of the European Union Advisory Mission Ukraine (EUAM) and the Police of Lviv region aims to implement an effective Response Police. It seeks to ensure better service delivery from local police officers in terms of their response to emergency calls and the service they can provide to local citizens. The patrolling response units were deployed to all areas of the city where they are assigned for duties. The units were provided with new police cars for quicker response and more presence of police at the places where they are mostly needed.
The Pilot Project implements a system based on European practices and the expectations of the public.
All of the 147 police staff of the Sambir Police Station received advice on new procedures regarding response. In addition, the job descriptions were modernised and standards of operations revised.
