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.

First the image was converted into a set data vectors in format (x,y,r,g,b), one for each pixel in image.
Then this 5D-data was projected to 3D-space using principal component analysis, The resulting image was rebuilt based on that reduced information.

Clockwise from top centre: outer planet cage with external freewheel attached; cover for pawls; hub shell; three-prong dog clutch, with ball race ring to left and clutch housing above; axle with push-rod (top) and cross-pin in situ - you can see two of the four splines on the axle that engage with the slots in the base of the clutch housing. The cross-pin passes through an eye at one end of a spring-loaded indicator rod; when the push-rod is operated, the clutch housing slides along the axle. The default (gear lever full forward, wire slack) locks both sun pinions to give direct drive. The next position - lever in the middle - frees one sun pinion but holds the other, to give the lower gear, while the final position - lever hard back - reverses this to give the high gear.

This informal set of photographs captures various stages of a project to rebuild a camera obscure originally made by Peter Drew in England. The apparatus is slated for installation in a new, demountable structure located on the Observatory Deck at San Francisco's Exploratorium (end of Pier 15).
IBM Components Division Research Building (Paul Rudolph, 1962-1966). A greenfield corporate campus, in Rudolph's distinctively textured and formally antsy Brutalism. As the documentation by the Paul Rudolph Institute makes clear, this was supposed to be even more elaborate, with hanging sun-shades and a full-developed entrance plaza. (The latter, with its combination of broad grand staircase and high-flying portico, suggests a kinship with Rudolph's earlier Sarasota High School.) It would seem some of the flourishes were victims of budget cuts; perhaps others simply seemed less important as IBM continued to plan a much larger campus surrounding this project. Where Rudolph's renderings show his pinwheeling building enjoying bucolic views on all sides, these days it's just one piece of a huge industrial and infrastructural pie (see satellite view). In recent years, the complex, under new ownership, is leased off in pieces to various industrial tenants.
Went on a walk this morning (legs too sore for a run, and I wanted to wander about with my camera anyway). Quite happy with some of the results.
Urbanuss Pluss O-500U, reformado, recebeu em sua motorização todos os componentes de acordo com a legislação do Euro5, assim recebe o título também de BlueTec 5 Mercedes-Benz.
Ele e um CAIO Millennium BRT, Volvo B215RH Híbrido, e esteve em solo pernambucano no ano de 2013 sendo testado e avaliado pela Mobibrasil-CRT, operou nas linhas:
040 CDU/BOA VIAGEM (Caxangá), que Liga a área Oeste com a Zona Sul do Recife-PE.
E na 046 PAQTEL/ARENA, Linha especialmente criada para os torcedores que iriam ver o espetáculo da Copa das Confederações na Arena Pernambuco, As Pessoas deixavam seus carros no estacionamento do Parqtel, e seguiam de ônibus para acessar a Arena.
O Teste ficou apenas do Papel, pois ambos os testes até agora não deram resultados algum e nem ninguém falam no assunto. Estudava-se criar uma linha especialmente atendida por veículos com esta características, Híbridos, Motor de arranque elétrico, e outro a Diesel, diminuindo em 50% Emissões de CO2 na atmosfera. porém até agora não se falam no assunto de novos testes com veículos deste tipo!
Dennis Oppenhiem's 2006 sculpture Trees (From Alternative Lifestyle Components) at the Yorkshire Sculpture Park.
The sculpture is made up of a number of artificial trees spread about a patch of parkland, with various different items on the branches, from kennels to dustbins and garden chairs.
The Yorkshire Sculpture Park is just of the M1 at West Bretton, near Wakefield and occupies a 500-acre country estate interspersed with numerous outdoor sculptures.
There are numerous trails and paths through various zones, with sculptures by such artists as Henry Moore and Antony Gormley among those whose works are exhibited.
The sculptures – which are regularly moved from place to place within the park – blend into the gardens, hillsides and around a small lake, providing an outdoor environment in which to view the works both from afar and up close – and sometimes even from within.

The jet pack uses only 11 components. These are the two main modules. The one to the left is the support section, holding fuel and oxygen for the pilot to breathe (the oxygen can be used for the thrusters in an emergency), and is interchangeable. The right module contains the actual breathing apparatus, HUD-equipped sunlight-retardant visor, and the main thrusters.
