It's a rainy day so I played in my home with my macro lens and wireless flash with small stuff like this.
This are normal white pills but playing with the white balance I choose this blue color I think it gives a bit more medical atmosphere to the photo.

Explore What Matters: A Proposition at SFMOMA, where contemporary works converge to question life, meaning, and art. The exhibition presents an evolving narrative in eight rooms, each inviting visitors to engage deeply with materials and concepts that bridge the personal and the universal. In this second episode, the exhibit showcases newly acquired works from artists such as Patty Chang, Abraham Cruzvillegas, Sky Hopinka, and Guadalupe Maravilla, among others.
A standout is Maravilla’s Fortuna and the Immortality Garden (Machine). This imposing structure blends organic and industrial elements, weaving together ritual, survival, and regeneration. The piece reflects Maravilla’s own migration journey from El Salvador to the U.S., using materials gathered along the path. The sculpture, part of a series known as “Disease Throwers,” incorporates objects such as gongs, loofahs, and wooden elements, all designed to be activated through ritual sound baths. These immersive performances imbue the piece with healing energy, resonating with both historical and spiritual significance.
Architecturally, the minimalist gallery space complements the dynamic forms of the sculpture, allowing visitors to focus on the intricate interplay of textures and materials. The circular chalk outline on the floor, visible in the installation, emphasizes the piece’s ritualistic qualities, creating a space where art and healing intersect.
This exhibition encourages visitors to reflect on resilience, transformation, and the cyclical nature of existence, with works that evoke both quiet introspection and collective healing.
The Dujiangyan Panda Base and Center for Disease Control, operated by the Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Pandas (CCRCGP), occupies a semi-natural hillside location near Shiqiao Village, Qingchengshan in Dujiangyan county, near the Taoist holy mountain of Qīngchéngshān and 18 km from central Dujiangyan city.
A more visitor-friendly name is 'Dujiangyan Giant Panda Base'; it also seems to be known as 'Dujiangyan Panda Ark'.
The 51 ha centre (or is that just the visitor-accessible part?) has a specific focus on panda disease control, prevention and research. As such, the 'nursing home' works with sick or injured wild pandas and elderly or disabled captive pandas.
This doesn't mean that all the residents are ill or otherwise disabled – I wasn't aware of seeing any in such a condition. Many are entirely healthy, as the CCRCGP's disease-prevention initiative involves separating captive populations, containing any outbreaks to individual bases, and veterinary research also needs to study healthy individuals.
It also acts as quarantine for pandas leaving or entering China; if you've seen giant pandas anywhere else in the world, they either visited or will visit Dujiangyan Panda Base at some point, as the foreign-born cubs of Chinese-loaned pandas (i.e. all of them!) contractually must be returned to China and the breeding programme.
That may explain the grid on this manhole cover, suggesting latitude/longitude lines on a globe.
The world-famous Chengdu Panda Base (Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding, CRBGPB) also has a Field Research Center in Dujiangyan county, seemingly known as Dujiangyan Panda Valley, where pandas are gradually reintroduced to the wild. To avoid misunderstanding: this isn't it.

The gene therapy involved inserting a functional copy of the NPC1 gene into mice with the disease. The treated animals were then found to have less severe NPC1 symptoms. The NIH mouse study could lead to human clinical trials.

I hope this is the last of cold finger that I have until cold weather comes back. I have the disease R-------- cannot spell it now. It is a creepy feeling and happens in the grocery store when I touch frozen food. or are some where outside in the cold. I have a time getting the blood back in it but putting the 1 to 3 fingers in very warm water helps the fastest. Wearing gloves in the winter time is little help. I read that people get this in their fingers, ears, nose and toes. My other fingers were really this pink ,, but they were reacting to my efforts to get blood into my finger.

Scottish band "Fire Exit" played the Black Bull in Gateshead Newcastle on November 23rd 2019 and supported by local band "The Band for Disease Control and Prevention". A third band pulled out due to illness though both bands played a belter and a great night was had by all.
Due to low light some of these shots were shot using a high ISO which is prone to noise & long shutter speeds to create movement, as well as being shot with a flash... Enjoy ;)

NIH scientists began a clinical trial in January 2013, to test whether the drug cyclodextrin could be used as a possible treatment for a rare and fatal genetic disease, called Niemann-Pick disease type C1 (NPC). Scientists from the NIH’s National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS) and the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) are conducting the clinical trial at the NIH Clinical Center. Reaching this stage required collaboration among government, industry, patient advocacy groups and academic researchers. In the image on the left, fibroblasts homozygous for mutations in NPC1 demonstrate an increased accumulation of red Lysotracker staining indicative of the storage disease. On the right, addition of cyclodextran rescues this lysosomal storage defect.

For rural women in Uganda Newcastle Disease vaccine is more than just protecting chickens
In the rural villages of central Uganda’s Mukono and Mityana districts and eastern Uganda’s Iganga district, thanks to the introduction of the Newcastle Disease vaccine (I-2 ND) which protects poultry against this deadly disease, women have been taking on more roles in their households and communities. Through the income they get from selling their chickens at market, small, informal women-led business enterprises are popping up around the region.
By selling their increased flocks of chicken at local village markets or to buyers who come for them at their homes, they have created a surplus in their income, which provides the business capital to start small informal businesses. These businesses are helping women diversify their livelihoods, contributing to their households’ income in times of distress.
Among these women, there are several who are excelling in poultry husbandry and their healthy, growing flocks are admired in their communities. Since 2014 when the I-2 ND vaccine was introduced in Uganda, they have been keenly vaccinating their chickens; and their flocks have flourished and multiplied in numbers. As a result, they are being sought by other groups of women in their villages, to train them on proper chicken rearing and vaccinate for them.
When Janet Mailuba from Buwolomena Village in Nabaale Sub County of Central Uganda began vaccinating her five chickens against Newcastle disease in 2013, her only aim was their survival. This 41-year-old mother of ten never imagined standing confidently in front of small groups of women in her village to train them on basic chicken rearing techniques and explain the importance of vaccination.
By following the recommended ND vaccination cycle, every three months, and adopting improved chicken rearing, Mailuba now has 30 chickens and two goats and she is one of Brentec Vaccines Limited’s model farmers in her village. During the holidays she sells off mature chickens when the demand and prices are high and earns up to UGX 25,000 (US $6.97) per chicken.
Brentec, through a partnership with the non-profit organisation Global Alliance for Livestock Veterinary Medicines (GALVmed), manufactures and distributes the I-2 ND vaccine locally known as Kukustar, to poultry farmers like Mailuba in rural Ugandan villages. Through GALVmed’s partnership over 25 million I-2 ND vaccine doses have been delivered to poultry farmers.
According to Dr Mamta Dhawan, GALVmed’s gender focal point, it’s important that poultry vaccinations are inclusive of male and female poultry keepers. “When we talk of farmers, the general mindset is that they are men, but women are also farmers and shouldn’t be left out,” said Dr Dhawan. The goal of GALVmed’s gender policy is to ensure that GALVmed-supported projects take into account gender perspectives to maximise impact on the livelihoods of smallholder farmers in developing countries.
With the vaccine protecting her chickens against the disease, Mailuba has a new source of income. Every time she sells one chicken, she earns between UGX 20,000 and UGX 25,000 (US $5.57-6.96). From the income, Mailuba is sharing the household expense burdens with her brick-layer husband by buying soap, food, medicine, uniforms and books for their children.
“My husband now respects me and we live in harmony,” says Mailuba. She has also partnered with four women to form a welfare group for diversifying their livelihoods means, and every week they each save UGX 6,000 (US $1.67) in the group’s kitty. The group has also obtained goats after bartering some of their chicken at the local market – each goat is bartered for seven mature chickens.
Mailuba now has two goats and is planning to buy a Friesian cow, so that she can improve her household nutrition and income through milk consumption and sales respectively. As a result of her being a Brentec model poultry farmer, three women groups in her village have been inviting Mailuba to train them on chicken rearing and vaccination.
Susan Nandiyi from Nambale Village in Iganga district is also a model poultry farmer whose increased income from poultry has provided the opportunity for her take up more household responsibilities. The mother of ten in her late thirties has 30 chickens, but before she began vaccinating two years ago, she had at most five birds at a time. Almost all of Nandiyi’s chickens would succumb to Newcastle Disease and the burden of providing to her family was left to her husband. Today, through improved income from selling chickens, she pays for school fees for their children and buys medicine and food for the family when her husband is unable to or when their crops fail.
“When I see a need in the household I sell one chicken to buy what’s required,” said Nandiyi. Her contribution has added to the wellbeing of the family. She is also happy she can regularly slaughter a chicken for her family at least once a month, without costing her much. This gives her family much needed protein. Like Mailuba, she plans to buy a cow and goats with her savings from selling the chickens.
Nandiyi also encourages women in her village to vaccinate their chickens, having witnessed the benefits first hand. She and other women in her village have also secured consistent chicken buyers so they don’t struggle to market them.
For 36-year-old Harriet Mutesi also from Nambale, the income she gets selling chickens now ensures that her husband includes her in household decision making. “It makes me proud to sit down with him and plan,” said Mutesi. The mother of five buys pens and uniforms for her children and her husband buys books and pays school fees. “I used to feel bad when I couldn’t contribute anything to my children’s education, but now I’m happy,” said Mutesi. Between her and her husband they also decide every school term whose turn it is to pay the fees.
Having been a tailor all her life, 71-year-old Magdalene Muyango from Ngulolo village in Mityana district, decided to rear chickens two years ago to supplement her income. The mother of eight almost quit when she once lost 15 out of her 25 birds in a single week. Through a radio advertisement she learned of the Kukustar vaccine and had her chickens vaccinated first a year agoand every three months since then, by local para-veterinary professionals.
Since vaccinating, Muyango has not lost any chicken to Newcastle disease; currently she has 20 growing chickens. These provide her with eggs for home consumption and selling. The secondary income she gets from the chickens she saves in a local saving group called Mayirye Development Group. The 40 member welfare group consists of both men and women.
“Every week I save UGX 5,000 (US $1.39) and the chickens have really helped me to be getting that money,” said Muyango. The extra income she gets from the chickens has also helped relieve her husband from the burden of providing basic household needs. “I’m happy to see him rested,” said Muyango.
During the implementation of projects, GALVmed ensures its community engagement activities are structured so as to be convenient for women attending according to Dr Dhawan. That means meetings are not scheduled during lunch time or late in the evening when women are busy attending to their households.
Gender discrimination has been found to be a cause of poverty and interventions aimed at poverty reduction need to be gender sensitive, according to GALVmed’s Gender Policy.
